      AceShowbiz – Gwen Stefani made her Grand Ole Opry debut on Saturday night (May 09) – from over 630 miles (1,000 kilometres) away.
      The No Doubt star performed “Nobody But You” with her country star boyfriend Blake Shelton from his Oklahoma farm, where the couple has been self-isolating throughout the coronavirus lockdown.
      Gwen wasn’t even billed to perform during the virtual show, which also featured Trace Adkins and Dustin Lynch, but few were surprised when she appeared to sing her hit duet with Blake.
      “Is this happening? Am I really on the Grand Ole Opry?” an excited Stefani said.
      Shelton, who is an inductee of country music’s most famous venue, then made it clear than he plans to get his girlfriend on the stage of the Opry in Nashville, Tennessee.

      Shelton also performed “Ol Red” and “God’s Country” during the show.

      Rae Sremmurd Settles Fyre Festival Lawsuit by Agreeing to Pay Back $18,000

      Instagram

      In addition to hip-hop duo Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi, Migos has also reached out a deal to hand back $30,000 of the $100,000 they were paid to perform at the disastrous event.
      May 12, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Rae Sremmurd stars Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi have agreed to hand over $18,000 (£14,600) to settle a lawsuit over cash they were paid to perform at the disastrous Fyre Festival.
      According to court documents obtained by The Blast, the hip-hop duo reached a deal with the trustee presiding over the event’s bankruptcy case.
      Last year (19), the trustee sued a string of celebrities and artists who were paid to promote the music festival and perform in an effort to pay back Fyre’s creditors, who were left out of pocked when the 2017 event in the Bahamas fell apart.
      Rae Sremmurd was initially sued for over $100,000 (£81,000), but they’ve now agreed to settle for less than a fifth of that amount.
      “The Defendant shall pay the total sum of $18,000.00… as full and final settlement and complete satisfaction of all claims the Trustee has against the Defendant,” the paperwork reads.
      The Blast previously reported Migos settled a separate lawsuit over Fyre Festival and agreed to pay back $30,000 (£24,300) of the $100,000 they were paid to perform.
      Other celebrities still facing lawsuits include Kendall Jenner and festival headliners Blink-182.
      Fyre Festival boss, Billy McFarland, is still behind bars after being sentenced to six years in prison on fraud charges.

      Spain's Primavera Sound Festival Gets Official Push Back to 2021 Over COVID-19 Pandemic

      by

      Two months after they postponed the Barcelona event to late August, organizers come out with an announcement that the 20th anniversary edition will no longer take place in 2020.
      May 12, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The 20th anniversary edition of Spain’s Primavera Sound Festival has officially been postponed until 2021 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
      Headliners including The Strokes, Lana Del Rey and Tyler, the Creator had all been due to lead the celebrations in Barcelona from 3 to 7 June, but in March, organisers decided to postpone the event until late August, when they hoped the worst of the COVID-19 outbreak would have passed.
      However, with the uncertainty surrounding the return of the live music industry still ongoing, festival bosses have been forced to scrap plans to host the big show this year, instead choosing to put the celebrations on hold until next summer.
      “Today, Primavera Sound announces the most difficult decision in its history: finally we will not be able to celebrate our 20th anniversary during 2020,” they share in a statement to ticket holders.
      “In the face of the evolution of the COVID-19 health crisis, we find ourselves obliged to postpone the next edition of Primavera Sound Barcelona, for reasons of force majeure, until next year: from 2nd to 6th June 2021.”
      “We are devastated and are terribly sorry for the inconvenience caused, but the health and well-being of our festivalgoers and all of the people involved in the festival has always been and is still our absolute priority. We cannot thank you enough for your patience, love and understanding in this uncertain scenario. We will never forget this.”

      Officials are now set to mark what would have been the original first day of Primavera 2020 on 3 June by unveiling the first acts booked to hit the stage for the new anniversary festival.
      It’s the latest music casualty of the global crisis – Britain’s Glastonbury Festival and New York City’s Governors Ball were also cancelled, while California’s Coachella and Stagecoach events, and Bonnaroo in Tennessee, were all pushed back from the spring to this autumn.

      Snoop Dogg Urges Tidal to Stop Pushing 6ix9ine's 'Gooba'

      by

      WENN/Instagram

      After Tekashi’s new single smashed YouTube’s record for the most-watched hip-hop video in a 24-hour span, Snoop rants online, ‘All these media outlets making snitching cool.’
      May 12, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Snoop Dogg implored bosses at streaming service Tidal to “stop pushing” Tekashi 6ix9ine’s new music, as the rapper embarked on a comeback following his release from prison.
      The rapper is currently under house arrest after leaving jail earlier this year to serve the rest of his sentence for gang-related charges of racketeering, firearms offences and drug trafficking in New York at home amid the coronavirus crisis.
      The star, real name Daniel Hernandez, notoriously testified against fellow members of the Nine Trey Gang in February 2019 in exchange for a reduced sentence on racketeering charges, and Snoop is among the many who have lashed out at Tekashi’s attempts to revive his career.
      After dropping new single “Gooba”, which smashed YouTube’s record for the most-watched hip-hop video in a 24-hour span, Snoop commented on an Instagram post shared by Elliott Wilson, Tidal’s chief content officer, “They gotta stop pushing this (rat).”
      “All these media outlets making snitching cool. I’m old school. F**k 69 and everybody pushing his line right now, all New York GZ feel me on this and if you don’f**k u2.”
      Addressing Tekashi’s long-standing feud with Meek Mill, the hitmaker added, “@meekmill if you allow sucka s**t you a sucka. Love you cuz stay sucka free.”

      Tekashi made his much talked about return to the public eye with an Instagram Live session on Friday (May 08), which broke another record after attracting an audience of two million fans.

      Nicki Minaj Remix Boosts Doja Cat's 'Say So' to No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100

      by

      The collaboration has given the ‘Anaconda’ hitmaker and the ‘Juicy’ rapper their first number one on the chart, denying Megan Thee Stallion and Beyonce Knowles’ ‘Savage’ the top slot.
      May 12, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Doja Cat and Nicki Minaj have scored a first number one on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Say So”.
      Neither artist has topped the chart before and their collaboration has kept Megan Thee Stallion and Beyonce Knowles’s Savage from reaching the summit.
      Doja Cat’s track wasn’t even in the top five a week ago, but Minaj’s remix dropped on 1 May and led to a surge in sales, which has sent it to the top of the pile.
      The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” falls to three on the new Hot 100, while Drake’s “Toosie Slide” and Roddy Ricch’s “The Box” complete the top five.

      Meanwhile, Drake has tied Madonna’s record for the most Hot 100 top 10s of all-time with “Pain 1993”, which features Playboi Carti. The track debuts at seven on the new Hot 100 countdown and becomes his 38th top 10 track.

      Idris Elba Lends Voice to a Mental Health Song Created for COVID-19 Relief

      by

      Instagram

      ‘Kings’, the debut single from musician Kosine, encourages fellow men to openly embrace their emotions, and is promoted by the ‘Thor’ star as a track that ‘looks at mental enrichment.’
      May 11, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Actor-turned-musician Idris Elba is lending his voice to an uplifting new tune about mental health among black men.
      The “Thor” star performs a powerful spoken word piece on “Kings”, the debut single from musician Kosine, a songwriter and producer with Da Internz, known for his work with artists like Rihanna, Big Sean and Nicki Minaj.
      Promoting the single on Instagram upon its release on Friday, May 08, Elba wrote, “This song looks at mental health, mental enrichment. We should stay away from conspiracies as they are a collision of fear and ignorance, two factors that erode our mental health.”

      On the track, Kosine encourages his fellow man to openly embrace their emotions, as Elba addresses the importance of recognising one another as “kings.”
      “Never is a time so precious/ Ever been so pressured and prevalent/Where kingship is more relevant…,” he says on the song.
      “My dad’s name is one of my son’s names/ And two kings share my soul/ Two hearts beating one blood and one throne/ If you’re a king then you know/ You are a king, you should know.”
      Kosine reveals the song was created during the coronavirus lockdown, which helped him take a deeper look at humanity.
      In a statement, he writes, “COVID-19 has made me take a complete step back in life and just tap into overall humanity. There’s a pandemic going on outside and we need to be there for each other in ways that we’ve never been before.”
      “It’s a very selfless and reflective season for us to see what God is trying to tell us right now. I’m praying for all of those on the frontline who are living testimonies of true bravery.”
      To show his appreciation, a portion of proceeds from the song will be donated to the MusiCares COVID-19 Relief Fund.
      “As a musician, I’m doing my part to provide audio healing and to keep the mental health of the masses top of mind,” he adds.
      “In times like these we find out together who we are and who we aren’t. I want all of my brothers to know that they are KINGS contrary to the false narrative of traditional mass media. It is my hope that the princes of today grow in this knowledge and lead us into a future honoring the sacrifices of their ancestors.”

      Katy Perry Delivers Gut-Wrenching Cover of 'Baby Mine' in Dumbo Costume for 2nd 'Disney Singalong'

      by

      Instagram

      Hosted by Ryan Seacrest, the star-studded ‘Disney Family Singalong: Volume II’ also presents mesmerizing duets from John Legend and Jennifer Hudson as well as Idina Menzel and Ben Platt.
      May 11, 2020
      AceShowbiz – ABC celebrated Mother’s Day with the airing of “Disney Family Singalong: Volume II” on Sunday, May 10. Filled with numerous performances from celebrities, this second show aiming to raise funds for Feeding America amid the novel coronavirus pandemic saw Katy Perry stealing the spotlight with her lullaby cover.
      The pregnant “American Idol” judge delivered a gut-wrenching rendition of “Baby Mine” from the 1941 animated classic “Dumbo”. What made her performance unique was the fact that she was dressed up in full costume of Dumbo’s mother, while her dog, Nugget, sat still in her lap wearing Dumbo get-up.

      “Best thing on the Disney sing along [LOL emojis] great costume”, “Tweet update: The best thing about quarantine is #KatyPerry and her dog in Dumbo-inspired elephant costumes” and “Your performance brought me to tears. My son’s favorite movie, when he was young” were some of the positive reactions to her performance.

      Positive Reactions to Katy Perry’s Dumbo Costume
      Not all applauded Katy’s choice of costume though. “She Looks sooooo STUPID,” one viewer tweeted. Meanwhile, another expressed concern at Katy’s dressed up dog. “Poor #dog #KatyPerry don’t make your stay stay in a #dumbo costume,” the commenter wrote alongside a screencapture of Katy’s performance with Nugget.

      Also delivering a stunning performance on the show were John Legend and Jennifer Hudson. The two Grammy winners teamed up to deliver their version of “Beauty and the Beast”, a classic love song from the 1991 film of the same name. Before their segment was shown, John took to Twitter to tell Jennifer, “An honor to sing with you!”

      Another duet performance gaining praises from viewers was one from Idina Menzel and Ben Platt. The “Frozen (2013)” star and the leading man of “The Politician” belted out their take on another classic ballad, “A Whole New World”, which came from the 1992 Disney movie “Aladdin”.

      Hosted by Ryan Seacrest, “Volume II” also featured an individual performance by Halsey and Rebel Wilson. While the “Bad at Love” hitmaker stunned with her cover of “Part of Your World” from “The Little Mermaid”, the “Pitch Perfect” actress offered her take on “Poor Unfortunate Souls” from the same song.

      This second “Disney Family Singalong” came one month after ABC hosted the original hour-long concert. Its first show featured the likes of Beyonce Knowles, Ariana Grande and Darren Criss among others as they sang their favorite Disney songs from their living rooms, kitchens and home studios. It aimed to entertain people in self-isolation while raising awareness for charity Feeding America.
