      Beyonce Forced to Call Off Cardi B Duet Due to Leak

      by

      WENN

      Beyonce Knowles was ready to collaborate with the ‘Bodak Yellow’ hitmaker but the latter’s producer ruined it by prematurely announcing the project on social media.
      May 13, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Plans for a highly-anticipated 2017 collaboration between Beyonce Knowles and Cardi B were scrapped for good when the news leaked online, according to the producer behind the song.
      Rumours about the secret project first hit headlines in October 2017, when Michael Ashby, who goes by the name Ashby the Mix Engineer, sent fans into a frenzy after posting a picture of his computer screen on his Instagram Story timeline, showing a mixing programme with a file titled, “Cardi B ft Beyonce Demo.”
      He captioned the picture, “Wow this feature is big,” but stopped short of sharing any further details.
      He subsequently apologised to the two stars for making the big reveal while Cardi played coy as she insisted she had never met Ashby, the engineer behind her breakout hit “Bodak Yellow”, and denied knowing anything about the proposed song.
      Now producer J White Did It, who had been quietly developing the track, has opened up about the debacle, admitting the studio get-together between Beyonce and Cardi was ditched the moment Ashby made it public because the “Formation” icon is known for keeping an air of mystery around her work.
      “Three years ago I had a Beyonce play with Cardi and that kinda went sour because it went viral that they was doing a song together and that cut out (sic),” J White Did It explained in an Instagram video.
      “I was just as giddy as everybody else (about the collaboration),” he shared, before recalling the moment he knew that project was dead, “I was sitting there just waiting, looking on the Internet, then it leaked…”
      The beatmaker, who also worked on “Bodak Yellow”, has since been granted a new opportunity to team up with Beyonce as he produced the “Savage Remix” she recently recorded with rap newcomer Megan Thee Stallion.

      Though she was not billed to perform during the virtual show, the No Doubt frontwoman accompanies her singer boyfriend in singing ‘Nobody But You’ from his Oklahoma farm.
      May 12, 2020
      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

      by

      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.”
