    Is Nicki Minaj Dissing Beyonce in Doja Cat's 'Say So' Remix?

    Instagram

    People are convinced that the ‘Anaconda’ hitmaker is referring to the ‘Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)’ songstress with her dissing lyrics in the song, after she denies that it’s about Wendy Williams.
    May 1, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Doja Cat has enlisted Nicki Minaj in the sassy remix of her 2019 chart-climbing song “Say So”. Upon its release on early Friday, May 1, the song quickly sparked Internet chatter, not because of their collaboration, but because of Nicki’s bar in the remix.
    In the new spin on the retro-grooving pop song, the Harajuku Barbie spits in the outro, “That real a** ain’t keep your n***a home,” prompting many to speculate whom she’s referring to. Many took to Twitter to come with their wild guesses, which mostly mentioned talk show host Wendy Williams.
    “The way Nicki dragged Miss Wendy P Williams so effortlessly #SaySoRMX,” one person commented after listening to the new song. “NICKI DEVOURED THE F**K OUTTA THAT SONG #SaySoRMX,” another tweeted, along with a clip of Wendy on her show.

    While Nicki and Wendy may not have the best relationship after the latter slammed the “Starships” raptress over her marriage to a registered sex offender, Kenneth Petty, the fans could not be more wrong. Debunking the speculation, the Trinidad and Tobago-born star has taken to her Instagram Stories to say that “the line ain’t about Wendy tho.”

    This prompted Internet users to come up with another wild speculation, this time involving Beyonce Knowles. Pointing out the former Destiny’s Child member’s lyrics in “Savage” remix, “If you wanna see some real ass baby here’s yo chance,” one person claimed, “it can’t be about any other rap girls because we all know their ass fake and been fake. so what is this? is she really taking shots at bey? because this one will dead her career.”
    Some others suggested that it’s could be about either Beyonce or Megan Thee Stallion. One of them weighed in, “It’s between meg and Beyonce. And now that I think about it meg dosent have fillers. Beyonce might.”
    Should Nicki really refer to Beyonce, people are warning her about how this might impact her career. “This ain’t what she want Lol. She can barely sell music to her hardcore fans these days,” someone predicted the raptress’ doom.
    Another advised her, “Beyonce has a lot of influence and respect in the streets and in the industry. Nicki can’t afford to go toe to toe with Bey. She better stick to the Meek Mills & the Cardi B’s that she’s use to if she wants to keep Kenny laced in the finest boot cut designer jeans.”
    The original version of “Say So” appears on Doja’s sophomore album “Hot Pink”. The single got a major boost after going viral on TikTok.

    Duran Duran Left Young Cast of 'Sing Street' in Shock With Surprise Livestream Appearance

    Instagram

    Nick Rhodes and John Taylor crash the virtual event, staged to raise money for healthcare workers fighting the coronavirus pandemic in New York City, seconds after it appeared to end.
    May 1, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Duran Duran’s Nick Rhodes and John Taylor thrilled the young cast of Broadway musical “Sing Street” on Thursday, April 30, with a surprise appearance at their livestream event.
    The band’s hit “Rio” appears in both the stage show, which was about to open on the “Great White Way” in March when all productions were shuttered due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the 2016 film of the same name, directed by John Carney.
    Earlier on Thursday, the band tweeted, “Don’t miss the cast of @SingStreetBway TONIGHT for their at home performance in support of charities fighting COVID-19. Nick & John are ready to rock with them… and send their support to @BCEFA (Broadway Cares) (charity).”

    Duran Duran tweeted about ‘Sing Street’ cast’s livestream event.
    But the “Save a Prayer” hitmakers didn’t let on that they would be making an appearance at the virtual event, staged to raise money for frontline workers in New York City.

    Seconds after the livestream appeared to end – with the castmembers, all in self-isolation, stepping outside or opening their windows to clap for everyone playing their part in the healthcare battle in New York – Rhodes and Taylor popped up onscreen.
    “Hey Conor, it’s Nick Rhodes from Duran Duran and we’re very happy to support Broadway Cares and the Mayor’s Fund (of new York) in their fight against COVID-19,” Nick said, addressing Sing Street’s main character Conor, lead singer of the titular Dublin, Ireland band, played by Brenock O’Connor. Brenock was seen onscreen after the musician’s shock appearance with his mouth open in shock.
    Then, while strumming his bass guitar, John said, “It’s John Taylor from Duran Duran. The work these workers are doing, these frontline fighters is crucial to getting our world back to being an ordinary world,” referencing the British band’s 1992 hit, “Ordinary World”.
    “Yeah,” added Nick, “and we look forward to seeing you… on Broadway and we hope it’s not too far away. Good luck.”
    “Sing Street” songwriter and livestream producer Gary Clark explained to WENN, “Duran Duran is huge to Conor, that’s Conor’s early inspiration.”

    WENN

    Having been friends for years and sharing the same manager, the ‘Yummy’ singer and the ‘7 Rings’ hitmaker claim that their big surprise will unravel at 10 A.M. on Friday, May 1.
    May 1, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Fans of Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande are in for a sleepless night – the pop stars have teased a major announcement for Friday morning (May 01).
    Bieber, who shares a manager with the “Side to Side” singer, took to Twitter on Thursday afternoon to reveal that a “special announcement” would be coming “tomorrow at 10am pst.”
    Grande replied by making it clear to her followers that she would be a part of the big surprise, leading fans to believe the pair have recorded a track together or Justin and Ariana will be part of a big charity gig, like the one Grande staged in Manchester, England a month after fans died in a terrorist attack outside her concert in the city in May 2017.

    Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande tease a ‘special announcement.’
    Ariana and Justin have been friends for years and she joined him onstage in 2016 during his “Purpose World Tour”. Bieber then hit the headlines when he stepped up to be part of Grande’s Coachella festival set in 2019, claiming the appearance had given him the incentive to perform live again.

    Watch: Kelly Clarkson Gives Soulful Touch to Madonna's 'Like a Prayer' for 'Kellyoke'

    Instagram

    In the latest episode of ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’, the ‘American Idol’ alum delivers a stirring rendition of the 1989 smash-hit with the help of her bandmates from their individual homes.
    May 1, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Kelly Clarkson has made a Madonna classic her own. On Thursday, April 30, the “My Life Would Suck Without You” hitmaker entertained fans and viewers of “The Kelly Clarkson Show” with a soulful rendition of the “Material Girl” singer’s 1989 smash-hit “Like a Prayer” during her “Kellyoke” segment.
    Performing the number from her self-isolation location in Montana, the Season 1 winner of “American Idol” replaced backup singers with multiple recordings of herself, and was joined virtually by a crew of her bandmates who did their parts from the safety of their own homes. She also got the assistance from music director Jason Halbert for the web cover.
    Hours after sharing the cover via her show’s social media account, the current judge on “The Voice” admitted to be missing her music crew. “Oh my gosh I love my band so much,” she tweeted late Thursday night. “Hahahahahaha! I had no idea they were doing this and I am so happy right now! The pointing, the drama, the black and white sexy @iamjessicollins and @jasonhalbert on keytar. I miss my musical family.”

    Clarkson tweeted about missing music family.
    Clarkson has been covering other artists’ famous tracks on her “Kellyoke” segment way before the coronavirus pandemic shut down the studio production of “The Kelly Clarkson Show”. She had delivered Mariah Carey’s “Vanishing” from the bathroom of her family cabin in March, and paid tribute to Kenny Rogers by performing “Sweet Music Man” a week later.
    About how “Kellyoke” came to be, Clarkson’s longtime music director Halbert spilled in a 2018 interview with Vulture, “I think because of how she started on ‘Idol,’ covering so many great songs on the show, when I first started with her, I used to get tons of emails from fans requesting that she cover certain songs.”
    “So I brought her the idea of, ‘Why don’t we do a fan request every day?’ She loved the idea, and I think we’ve been doing it since almost the very beginning,” he continued. “Whenever they were coming up with a concept for the show, that sort of morphed into ‘Kellyoke’.”

    JoJo Gives Up Sex During Making of New Album, Admits to Cheating on Boyfriend

    WENN

    The ‘Too Little Too Late’ singer reveals she’s abstain from having sex while hard at work in the studio to complete her latest studio album ‘Good to Know’.
    May 1, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Pop star JoJo kept her focus while recording her latest album, “Good to Know”, by giving up sex.
    The singer, who is now happily single, admits she struggled to be independent after a string of relationships and wanted to fully commit herself to working on her new music.
    “The album just finds me processing and getting to a place of realising I’ve never been alone my whole adult life,” she tells People. “I’ve always been in a relationship with somebody, and I was delaying a really important part of becoming an adult, which is being independent.”
    The star reveals she was celibate for 10 months while working on the record.
    “I would go out on dates, but I loved saying, ‘OK, good night,’ ” she adds.
    The “Leave (Get Out)” hitmaker admits self-care helps her stay positive when she starts getting down on herself. “I’ve been going to therapy since I was 18. I had more weight on my shoulders than I could bear,” she shares. “I would talk to my therapist once a week, and now it’s kind of as needed, but it’s really nice to have that impartial and professional opinion. I’m very fortunate that I could do that.”
    And Jojo isn’t about to diss men, confessing she has often been to blame for failed romances and revealing she once cheated on her boyfriend after a night of drinking.
    “I self-sabotaged because I didn’t feel worthy of a loving, lasting relationship,” she says. “I didn’t love myself. I am actively practising self-love. It’s not just something you arrive at. I need to really work at it.”
