      Halsey Calls New Album a Love Letter to Her Bipolar Disorder

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Without Me’ singer says she made peace with her mental illness during the making of her third studio album appropriately called ‘Manic’ which was released in January.
      May 23, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Halsey has opened up about accepting her bipolar disorder in a new YouTube series for Mental Health Awareness Month, May 2020.
      The “Without Me” singer took part in the Artist Spotlight Stories with psychologist Snehi Kapur and discussed finally making peace with herself after being diagnosed in her teens and experiencing drastic moodswings.
      “In the process of making this album, I had to make peace with this manic version of myself,” she said of recording her latest release, Manic, which reached listeners in January, noting the album is a “love letter” to bipolar disorder.
      Halsey, who was admitted to a psychiatric hospital for a 17-day stay after attempting suicide at the aged of 17, moved on to discuss the difficult social problems she’s had to navigate while managing her own mental health. “I think that our culture, in a way, has an obsession and a distaste for the ‘crazy woman,’ ” she said. “We love her but we also weaponise that word against her… The way that they (media) can take the narrative away from you after you’ve chosen to share it is what’s one of the most terrifying parts.”
      Halsey is also often puzzled by fans who insist she doesn’t look like someone with mental health struggles. “They see a young woman who’s achieving all of these goals,” she explained.

      Instagram

      The ‘Fancy’ hitmaker confirms her third studio installment as she reveals to her social media followers that she’s back in Los Angeles working on the new album.
      May 23, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Rapper Iggy Azalea has confirmed she is recording a new album in Los Angeles following reports of becoming a new mum.
      The “Fancy” hitmaker is rumoured to have welcomed her first child with MC boyfriend Playboi Carti at the end of April 2020 and although she has yet to comment on the baby hearsay, the star has verified she is in the studio working on her third LP.
      Iggy wrote in response to a fan on Twitter who inquired if she was in Los Angeles, California recording an album, “Yes & Yes.”
      The Australian star released her sophomore effort “In My Defense” last year to poor critical reviews and low sales, with the album debuting at number 50 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart.
      DJ Akademiks was the first to publicly acknowledge rumours of Iggy becoming a mother on May 1 when he told his Instagram followers, “Talked to some ppl (people)… allegedly this is true. Congrats to #playboicarti and #iggyazalea if it is.”
      Neither Iggy nor Playboi have commented on the baby news. Azalea continues to post images of herself on her Instagram account donning clothing that bares her trim belly, suggesting pushback on talks of parenthood.

      Tegan and Sara Would Rather Be Called 'Sell-Out' Than Do 'Free' Gig on Social Media

      by

      WENN

      Sara Quin says she and her sister and bandmate Tegan refuse to follow the livestream trend and do free concerts only to generate money for social media.
      May 23, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Tegan and Sara rocker Sara Quin won’t be joining the new livestream gig trend as she doesn’t want to work for social media platforms for free.
      The Canadian musician and her sister and bandmate Tegan have been keeping in touch with fans during the Covid-19 pandemic by broadcasting insights into their lives as a weekly show, “Where Does the Good Grow?”, on Instagram Live.
      However, Sara says fans can’t expect any livestream concerts as she objects to generating money for social media sites by performing on their platforms.
      “My hesitation is that it’s a form of labour we do for free that is generating money for Instagram and Facebook and Twitch,” the musician tells The Guardian newspaper. “I know it’s not cool to be a sell-out and to say you need money and you want your fans to pay for things, but I feel as artists we need to be comfortable being transparent about that.”
      The “Closer” hitmaker went on to say that while she is fine with others using the internet to perform, it’s not for her.
      “I’m inspired by people doing livestreams and making content, but I don’t feel inspired to do it, because I hate playing concerts to people holding up their cellphones, and I don’t want to play a concert to my cellphone,” the 39-year-old explains.
      Sara also complains that global restrictions on concerts due to the pandemic have “f**ked* the band’s “ecosystem” by putting their team out of work, and complained about the rates artists receive from streaming services.
      “Instead of asking consumers to solve the problem, the industry needs to have a reckoning about the way we value music, and that needs to be platform-wide,” she adds.

      Prior to pursuing his music career, the Migos rapper was a football star at Berkmar High School for nearly 10 years ago, but he decided to drop out of school just months before his graduation.

      6ix9ine Reportedly Teaming Up With Nicki Minaj for Next Song

      by

      Instagram

      Report of his supposed collaboration with the ‘Anaconda’ raptress comes after the ‘Gooba’ hitmaker claimed that he’s going to ‘break the internet’ with his upcoming music video.
      May 22, 2020
      AceShowbiz – 6ix9ine’s recent claim to “break the internet” with his upcoming music might not be an exaggeration. The “FEFE” hitmaker is reported to be prepping a collaboration with one of today’s top hip-hop artists, Nicki Minaj, while he’s serving home confinement.
      According to MTO News, the top secret project is done, with the “Starships” raptress having “already recorded her part” in Los Angeles and “Tekashi did his part” in New York. A source reportedly close to the Trinidad and Tobago-born femcee additionally tells the site that Nicki is traveling to New York to film a video for the new song this coming weekend.
      Should the report of the Nicki duet be true, it will mark 6ix9ine’s first collaboration with any artist since his early release from prison due to the coronavirus pandemic. The “Anaconda” hitmaker, meanwhile, recently earned her first No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 with Doja Cat’s “Say So (Remix)” which features her.
      Earlier on Thursday, May 21, 6ix9ine told his fans that he intended to cause an even bigger stir with his next music video, following the release of his first post-prison song, “Gooba”. The 24-year-old star posted on Instagram along with a picture of him holding two kittens, “NEXT VIDEO WILL BREAK THE INTERNET IM PUSHING IT BACK TILL NEXT FRIDAY MAY 29TH.”
      “Gooba” music video broke Eminem’s YouTube record for the most-watched hip-hop video in a 24-hour period after it was released on May 8. He, however, was not pleased with the song’s chart performance, accusing Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber and Billboard of chart manipulation after the two singers’ duet “Stuck With U” reached No. 1 and his debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week ending May 23.
      Ariana and Justin have denied the allegation, with Billboard responding to the rapper’s “six credit cards” claim. “Billboard and Nielsen Music/MRC Data conducts audits on all sales reported with access to purchase-level detail, and works with data partners to recognize excessive bulk purchases and remove those units from the final sales total. All titles this week, as in every week, were put under the same scrutiny,” Billboard stated.

      by

      [embedded content]

      Three weeks after releasing a remix version of her hit song featuring Beyonce, the ‘Hot Girl Summer’ rapper comes out with a visual that combines her love for anime with her signature rap sound.
      May 22, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Megan Thee Stallion has treated her devotees to a brand new 3-D animated video for “Savage”. On Thursday, May 21, the “Hot Girl Summer” rapper released the highly anticipated visual for her third single off “Suga” EP, presenting herself as a futuristic crime fighter who seeks to take down evil organization.
      Described as “a futuristic tale of assassins set in day-glo animation” in the press release, the less-than-three-minute video sees “a one woman army taking down an evil entity from the inside,” and is claimed to have strengthened the song’s status as “an manifesto for powerful women across the universe.” It combines Megan’s love of anime and her signature rap sound.
      Hours before dropping the video directed by Jude MC, the 25-year-old rapper hyped up the anticipation by sharing a short teaser on Instagram. Accompanying the clip, she wrote in the caption, “Been working to make the anime video look like a game and a sexy ass anime movie lol what y’all think ? Y’all want it today ?”

      This video for “Savage” came weeks after Megan released a high-profile remix version of the hit track with Beyonce Knowles. Dropped in late April, the remix gave the song a boost to the top spot on Rolling Stone’s Top 100 Songs chart. It is currently in the top five on the Billboard Hot 100 for the third week. It also helped Megan make her debut on the Billboard Songwriters Chart.
      Megan herself has been announced as one of the headliners for this year’s “GMA” Summer Concert Series. Joining a lineup that includes Katy Perry, John Legend, Mariah Carey, Sia Furler, Bebe Rexha and the Black Eyed Peas, the “Diamonds” rapper is set to perform on August 21. She has also joined the judging panel of HBO Max’s ballroom competition show, “Legendary”, which will premiere on May 27.

      Lady GaGa Admits to Challenging Ariana Grande to Sing While Watching Her Dance

      by

      Instagram

      Aside from praising her ‘Rain on Me’ collaborator, the ‘Born This Way’ hitmaker reveals that she sent Billie Eilish flowers after the ‘Bad Guy’ singer won big at one awards show.
      May 22, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Lady GaGa put her “Rain on Me” duet partner Ariana Grande on the spot by asking her to sing, while she performed an interpretive dance in front of her.
      The “Poker Face” star admits her new pal had no idea what to expect when GaGa asked her to join her in the studio – and she really tested her.
      “I think maybe she assumed that it’d be that she came in and I was like, ‘Here, just sing this and thank you so much for your time,'” Gaga tells Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, “but instead I asked her what she needed, how she wanted to do things…
      “I said to her, ‘OK, now everything that you care about while you sing, I want you to forget it and just sing. And by the way, while you’re doing that, I’m going to dance in front of you’, because we had this huge big window…
      “She was like, ‘Oh my God. Oh my God. I can’t. I can’t. I don’t know. Oh my God. OK, OK’. And then I did it and she sang, and she started to do things with her voice that was different. And it was the joy of two artists going, ‘I see you…’ We create things that make us feel comfortable. We put them all around. I do it all the time. We all do things to make ourselves feel safe.
      “I always challenge artists when I work with them. I go, ‘Make it unsafe, make it super f**king unsafe and then do it again’. And it was just awesome to watch her.”
      During the interview with Lowe, GaGa also heaped praise on Billie Eilish, revealing she sent her flowers after one awards show where the “Bad Guy” singer piled up the wins.

      “There was one night where she just swept a whole bunch of awards and I said, ‘Send her some flowers’. I wrote her a note and, for me, it’s healing, because I go, ‘You know what? That hurt me that I didn’t get that, but that’s OK, because I’m going to be that for someone else’. And me being that for anyone is also a gift for me.”

      Drake Reacts After Facing Backlash for Calling Kylie Jenner 'Side Piece' in Unreleased Song

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Toosie Slide’ hitmaker is upset by the song leak that reveals his lyrics about rumored flame Kylie, her sister Kendall Jenner, and fellow model Gigi Hadid.
      May 22, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Drake is far from happy a scrapped song, in which he suggests reality TV star and young business mogul Kylie Jenner is a “side piece,” has been leaked as an unreleased new track.
      An associate of the rapper’s previewed some future hits on his Instagram Live account and in one, Drake namechecks Kylie, her sister Kendall Jenner, and pregnant model Gigi Hadid.
      “Yeah, I’m a hater to society/Real s**t, Kylie Jenner that’s a side piece/Yeah, I got 20 motherf***in’ Kylies,” he raps in the song, adding, “Yeah, I got 20 d**n Kendalls/Young slim baddies and they in vogue/Yeah, I got 20 f**kin’ Gigis.”
      Drake woke up on Thursday, May 21, 2020 to discover the track, a collaboration with Future, had been posted overnight and quickly addressed the backlash from fans of Jenner, who felt he’d disrespected her.
      “(It) shouldn’t have been played,” he wrote. “It’s a song that leaked 3 years ago and got scrapped shortly after.”
      “He (associate) was just going too deep in the drake/future catalogue. Last thing I’d want to do is wake up having any friends of mine feeling disrespected so I just had to say that to start the day.”
      He didn’t expand on the true meaning behind the rap lyric, but there were rumours late last year 2019 suggesting Kylie and Drake were secretly dating after she attended his Halloween party.
      Kylie split from hip-hop star Travis Scott, who worked with Drake on hit song “Sicko Mode”, in late 2019. The exes share daughter Stormi, two.
