      by

      The 27th annual Latin Awards was originally scheduled to take place in Los Angeles on March 31, but organizers are putting health and safety amid the pandemic as top priority.
      Mar 12, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Music rights management organisation BMI (Broadcast Music, Inc.) has postponed its 27th annual Latin Awards due to the outbreak of the coronavirus.
      In a press statement released on Tuesday, March 10 afternoon, the organisation cited concerns over the recent outbreak, which has seen global cases rise to more than 119,000, with over 4,300 fatalities, as the reason behind the move.
      “The health and safety of our employees and affiliates is our number one priority, and as a result, BMI is postponing its upcoming Latin Awards show, originally scheduled for March 31 in Los Angeles,” the statement reads. “We plan to reschedule the Latin Awards at a later date and look forward to honouring Wisin y Yandel (Wisin & Yandel) with our President’s Award and celebrating our talented family of Latin music creators.”
      The company added: “BMI will continue to evaluate all upcoming events on a case-by-case basis.”
      A new date for the ceremony has yet to be announced.
      Numerous event plans have been thrown into chaos due to the coronavirus spread, including the postponement of California-based festivals Coachella and Stagecoach.

      Musicians including Madonna, Queen, Ciara, BTS (Bangtan Boys), and Mariah Carey have also cancelled shows.

      Harry Styles Stresses Importance Not to Force Lizzo Collaboration

      by

      WENN/Instar

      Both the ‘Lights Up’ singer and the ‘Truth Hurts’ hitmaker have expressed admiration for each other, but he sets the record straight on talks about their potential duet.
      Mar 12, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Harry Styles doesn’t want to “force” a collaboration with Lizzo, despite his love for the U.S. star’s music.
      The “Lights Up” hitmaker and the “Truth Hurts” singer have both expressed admiration for each other and delighted fans by cementing their friendship by laughing and joking together at last month’s (February) BRIT Awards.
      However, Harry says speculation about a potential duet may be a little premature, as he wants to wait for the right song to come along.
      “It’s kind of one of those things where any time two people say they like each other’s stuff, everybody goes, ‘oh you should collaborate,'” the 26-year-old tells New Zealand’s “The Project” TV show.
      “I’m a really big fan of hers and if there was a time when something made sense and we wanted to do something together that would be amazing, but I think it’s probably important not to force stuff together.”
      In the interview Styles also said he wants to host TV shows as well as make new music – and is willing to give host “The Project” when he visits the country on tour in November.

      “I’m big into the hosting now and I’m trying to add another string to my bow,” the British musician adds. “So yeah, if you’d have me that would be wonderful.”

      Lil Yachty Claps Back at Haters of Him Drag-Dressing in 'Oprah's Bank Account' Video

      by

      The ‘One Night’ rapper claims that those critics are ‘so in denial with y’all masculinity’ that they are bothered with him dressing up as a woman in the music video.
      Mar 12, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Lil Yachty has no regret about drag-dressing in his latest music video, which he released on Monday, March 9 for his new song “Oprah’s Bank Account” featuring Drake and DaBaby. The 22-year-old star spoofs Oprah Winfrey in the clip, wearing a wig and a skirt.
      While it was all done in good spirits and was supposed to be inducing laughter, some people on the Internet were apparently annoyed and slammed the “Minnesota” spitter for dressing up as a woman. “Lil Yachty fell off and now he gotta put on a dress to sell records,” one person claimed after seeing the video.
      [embedded content]
      Another commented, “@lilyachty in my opinion you don’t need to wear no dresses or wings to sell …you created a lane … how I’m suppose to take this.” Not remaining silent, Yatchy responded to the tweet, “B***h it’s just supposed to be entertaining… it ain’t even that deep, y’all N***a’s so in denial with y’all masculinity s**t like this bother y’all.. Relax.”

      Lil Yachty responds to backlash after he dressed up as a woman in music video.
      The Georgia-born artist also shared a tweet by a user who wrote, “You are Bi. Dressed up as a damn woman you done let the black community down.” He responded with a meme of NBA player Russell Westbrook looking puzzled.
      Agreeing with Yachty, one person wrote back to the critic, “If this bothers you, then it’s your problem.” Another chimed in, “ah yes i knew this was coming at some point lol men’s masculinity be so fragile the insecurity literally leaps out.”

      Yachty, meanwhile, won’t stop celebrating the release of the music video. He recently shared a Triller video of himself wearing the same outfit as he’s in the music video while dancing to the song with Drake and DaBaby. “Idk how I got these two rich ass N***a’s to do this @champagnepapi @dababy @trillervids,” he captioned it.

      The “Ice Tray” rapper also released a behind-the-scenes video on Monday showing his transformation into “Boprah Winfrey,” a highly popular talk show host who interviews Drake and DaBaby, for the music video.

      Coachella Fires Back at Elon Musk for Dissing Festival Following Postponement Announcement

      by

      WENN/Ralf Succo

      The criticism doesn’t go unnoticed by the festival which quickly claps back at the Tesla founder with many dubbing its response ‘the best comeback of the day.’
      Mar 11, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Elon Musk has weighed in on Coachella decision to push back this year’s event to October in light of Coronavirus outbreak. Taking to his Twitter account, the tech mogul mocks the festival by calling it “sucking.”
      “Coachella should postpone itself until it stops sucking,” so he wrote on the blue bird app on Tuesday, March 10. “Too much corporate sponsorship killed the vibe,” the Tesla founder explained in a separate tweet, though he noted that the festival used to be “good maybe 5 or 6 years ago when you could wonder around & find great unknown bands.”
      Sincere Show echoed the billionaire’s statement, saying, “Yeah it got to big for no reason.” Another person shared, “Right. Now all these ig models and youtubers go there just to show off their basic outfits, and snort coke.”

      The criticism didn’t go unnoticed by the festival which quickly clapped back at Elon. Through its official Twitter account, Coachella shut him down with a photo and simply captioned it, “lol.”
      It might look like a simple comeback but it was rather powerful. The snap that Coachella used was a picture of Jaden Smith performing at the top of a Tesla Model X, which was suspended in the air with its Falcon Wing Doors up, during his Coachella set last year.
      Acknowledging his defeat in the online back-and-forth, Elon responsed, “Ok fine. that was good haha.” Other Internet users also applaused Coachella for its clapback. “Well played @coachella,” one tweeted while some others wrote, “BURN.”

      Coachella had a strong comeback at Elon Musk’s diss.
      “Oh damn. Best comeback of the day. And it’s only 10am EST,” a person commented.

      Jayden Smith chimed in on the conversation.
      Meanwhile, Jayden also chimed in on the conversation. The musician son of Will Smith appeared to extend an olive branch of love for both Elon and Coachella by tweeting, “:) @elonmusk I Love You @coachella I Love You.”
