      Mick Jagger Forced to Change Lyrics to New Rolling Stones Song Due to Eerie Resemblance to Covid-19

      by

      Instagram

      The original darker lyrics to The Rolling Stones’ comeback single called ‘Living in a Ghost Town’ contain eerie references to the global coronavirus pandemic.
      Apr 26, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Mick Jagger rewrote the lyrics to The Rolling Stones new single because he feared they were too dark in their eerie similarities to the events of the Covid-19 pandemic.
      The band debuted “Living in a Ghost Town”, their first original tune since 2012’s “Doom and Gloom”, on Thursday, April 23, 2020, which they first recorded a year ago while working on music for a new album.
      Fans have noted the prescience of lyrics that include, “life was so beautiful, then we all got locked down,” as people around the world face lockdowns due to the coronavirus pandemic. So have the band – and Mick says the original version of the song was even more on the nose, as it contained darker references to disease.
      “It was written about being in a place that was all full of life and is now bereft of life,” the 76-year-old tells Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. “When I went back to what I’d written originally, it was all full of plague terms and things like that.”
      “I never actually used that, but it was all there and Keith (Richards) and I both had the idea that we should release it, but I said I’ve got to rewrite it because some of it was not going to work. Some of it was a bit weird and a bit too dark.”
      The “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” hitmaker also updated fans on progress on the new Stones album, which will be their first full studio release of original material since 2005’s “A Bigger Bang”.
      He said, “We’ve been recording and we’ve got some really good stuff,” but fans shouldn’t “hold their breath” for a release date as he wanted the new record to be “great” rather than just “good.”

      Nicki Minaj's Little Sister Has Fans Gushing With Cover of Her Song

      by

      Instagram

      In a video that has been circulating around the Internet, Ming Maraj could be seen rapping along to the Young Money female emcee’s 2010 hit ‘Moments 4 Life’.
      Apr 26, 2020
      AceShowbiz – It appears musical talent is running in Nicki Minaj’s family. Not only the rapper, but her sister Ming has also proven that she’s as good as the Young Money rapper by sharing on social media a cover of Nicki’s “Moments 4 Life”.
      Ming perfectly rapped along to Nicki’s 2010 track, “And yes, I call the shots, I am the umpire/ I sprinkle holy water, upon a vampire/ In this very moment, I’m king/ In this very moment, I slayed Goliath with a sling.” She continued spitting her bars, “This very moment I bring/ Put it on everything, that I will retire with the ring.”
      Her cover soon garnered praises from Internet users. “She sounds like Nicki when she first came out!” one said, as another already speculated what Ming’s future would be like, “She gonna grow up and tak the future Crown holder.” Someone else said, “She sound like her,” as one other commented, “Is sis gonna rap? Ooooo I have to stan.”
      “See this is why there is no princess of rap ! Because Ming is gonna take the princess crown when she will grow up,” one more person said, while an individual chimed in, “Literally sounds, looks, moves. Just like her lol mini nick.”
      Ming Maraj is Nicki’s step sister from her father’s side. Her existence was not known to the world until 2013, when Nicki posted on Twitter a photo of her sister. Nicki doesn’t really talk about her family, though she recently treated fans to footage of her having fun with both Ming and their father. “My dad & little sister Ming,” so she wrote in the comment section of the post.
      People soon jumped to the comment section to gush over Ming. “She’s so beautiful! She looks just like you,” Monica Denise said, while Skai Jackson raved, “She’s so pretty.”

      BLACKPINK's Lisa Accused of Stealing Choreography From Black Dancer

      by

      Instagram

      Cierra Nichols claims that the K-Pop singer is taking the inspiration off her dance routine to QUIN and 6LACK’s ‘Mushroom Chocolate’ without giving her credits.
      Apr 26, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Lisa of BLACKPINK has been hit with plagiarism accusations. The Thailand-born star recently uploaded a video of her performing a dance routine to QUIN and 6LACK’s “Mushroom Chocolate” before a black choreographer named Cierra Nichols blasted and accused her of stealing her choreography.
      In Lisa’s video, the K-Pop singer could be seen performing her moves while lying on the floor. At one point, she got back up and continued her routine. Meanwhile, in Cierra’s video, which was uploaded a month before Lisa’s, she mostly danced while lying on the floor.

      Learning of Lisa’s choreography, Cierra was quick to call her out. “In today’s episode of ‘Let’s Steal from Black People’ a Korean singer gets 7.8 million views in a day using most of your choreography. Love that for us,” she wrote on Instagram Stories. Later on, she took to Twitter to write, “Convinced people can’t read. I know to credit someone if I clearly pulled from it. I seen the inspiration the girl looks great.”
      In another post, she shaded Lisa, “It’s okay, though… doesn’t look s**t like when I did it anyway.”
      Not stopping there, she responded to an Internet user who came to watch her video after seeing Lisa’s, “Because of Lisa and her choreographer using my moves.” In another post, she insisted, “It’s not about the drama girl I could care less but it’s clear where the beginning got its inspiration. It’s clear there not doing anything like mine. That’s why I’m fine.”
      Lisa has yet to respond to the accusation, but a lot of her fans have come to her defense. Some even clicked the dislike button on Cierra’s video and even threw so much negative comments to the point where the choreographer decided to turn off the comment section altogether.

      Beastie Boys Regrets Firing Female Drummer From the Band

      by

      Apple

      The two remaining members Ad-Rock and Mike-D admit they had let down their female friends when they decided to kick out drummer Kate Schellenbach from their group.
      Apr 25, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Beastie Boys members Ad-Rock and Mike D regret letting down women by ditching drummer Kate Schellenbach when they switched from punk music to hip-hop.
      The two, who haven’t performed or recorded together since the death of third member Adam ‘MCA’ Yauch in 2012, started out as a punk four-piece before switching to rap when Kate left the band in 1984, signing to Def Jam and going on to huge success.
      Ad-Rock, real name Adam Horovitz, tells Britain’s The Sunday Times newspaper that he regrets falling out with Kate and letting down women by living up to misogynist caricatures of behaviour in the music industry.
      “We started out as a hardcore punk band, with Kate Schellenbach as our drummer,” he says. “We ended up a cartoon rap version of a 1980s metal band and we kicked Kate out. How wrong was that? When the Beastie Boys began, the majority of our friends were girls. It’s embarrassing to think we let them down.”
      He also has regrets over the band’s biggest mainstream hit – “(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (to Party!)” – as it was originally supposed to be a parody of frat boy attitudes.
      “It was making fun of party bros (brothers) and frat boys,” the 53 year old says. “We’d never actually met any, but we thought they were hilarious to make fun of. Then it became a hit, and gradually that’s what we started to become.”
      He says the song’s success was one reason the group left Def Jam – as it fell out with label boss Russell Simmons over its musical direction.
      “When we started becoming a self-caricature, Russell wouldn’t pay us unless we carried on doing it,” he adds. “So we quit.”
      A new documentary on the group’s career, “Beastie Boys Story”, is available on Apple TV+.

      Juice WRLD Gets Animated in Music Video for First Posthumous Song

      by

      The ‘Lucid Dreams’ hitmaker is brought to life as a cartoon character as he’s fighting his demons in a music video to support his first posthumous single called ‘Righteous’.
      Apr 25, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Late rapper Juice WRLD leaves the Earth and flies off into the galaxy in the new music video for his first posthumous release, “Righteous”.
      The new track debuted on Friday, April 24, 2020, with the emotive slow burner packed with references to pills, demons, and “anxiety the size of a planet.”
      Alongside the new release, the first since the “Lucid Dreams” star, real name Jarad Higgins, died after suffering a seizure just six days after turning 21 last December 2019, a music video for the tune also dropped, featuring footage of the hitmaker working in the studio, performing onstage, and kissing his girlfriend, before it turns into an animated adventure in which Juice fights his demons.
      After overcoming his struggles in the clip, the video ends with the words “Legends Never Die” scrawled across the screen.
      [embedded content]
      “Righteous” was announced on Thursday in a tweet from the rapper’s family and team explaining, “Juice was a prolific artist who dedicated his life to making music. Choosing how to share his upcoming music with the world has been no easy feat.”
      “Honouring the love Juice felt for his fans while shining a light on his talents and his spirit are the most important parts of this process to us… Tonight we will be releasing a song called ‘Righteous’ which Juice made from his home studio in Los Angeles. We hope you enjoy this new music and continue to keep Juice’s spirit alive.”
