      After Kanye West’s daughter delivered a remix of her ‘What I Do’ song, the five-year-old MC explains her issue with the performance, but adds they could ‘rap and go to Disneyland’ together.
      Mar 5, 2020
      AceShowbiz – North West has a new fan in five-year-old rapper ZaZa, after she performed her own remix of one of the star’s tracks at her dad Kanye West’s Yeezy fashion show at Paris Fashion Week.
      The daughter of Kanye and Kim Kardashian performed a remix of ZaZa’s song “What I Do” in the French capital on Monday (March 02), and the hitmaker told TMZ she was so impressed with North’s musical abilities she wants to hit the studio with her.
      “It was really good, I really liked it. It felt like… it was so good, it was so dope!” she gushed.
      When asked whether the pair are going to connect in person soon, ZaZa responded, “We’re going to rap and go to Disneyland and stuff like that,” and teased the pair could go into a studio and lay down vocals together too.
      Following the show, ZaZa’s parents responded on her Instagram page, writing, “We not mad BUT… PLS SHOW LOVE AND SUPPORT TO THE ORIGINAL FIRST!!!”
      “We admire Kanye west, and adore his journey. However, we don’t wanna feel like our daughter’s journey in the world of entertainment is being STIFLED.”
      Kim later responded, insisting she “didn’t mean to not give credit where credit was due,” and adding “Would love for the girls to meet soon.”
      Explaining why she took issue with North’s performance, the young star said, “I feel like her just took it away and I was like, ‘Why did you just took it away from me?’ (because) it’s my beat. (sic)”

      But they appear to have resolved the issue, with ZaZa adding, “Daddy speak to them because daddy is gangsta.”

      Megan Thee Stallion's Planned Album Release to Be Blocked by Record Label

      by

      Instagram

      Days after the ‘Hot Girl Summer’ hitmaker gained a temporary restraining order against 1501 Certified Entertainment, music mogul Carl Crawford demands an emergency hearing on their legal dispute.
      Mar 5, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Megan Thee Stallion is facing a court fight over plans to release new music this week (March 06) as part of an ongoing legal dispute with her label bosses.
      The “Hot Girl Summer” star was granted a restraining order against her 1501 Certified Entertainment chiefs on Monday, March 02, after claiming they were trying to stop her from dropping new material because she wants to renegotiate an unfair contract she signed when she was 20.
      On Wednesday, March 04, music mogul and former professional baseball player Carl Crawford filed a motion to dissolve the temporary protection order, insisting the rapper, now 25, should never have been allowed to take the issue to court, because any dispute is supposed to be addressed in arbitration, as per the terms of their record deal – the same one Megan is seeking to have reworked.
      In the documents, filed in court in Texas and obtained by TMZ, Crawford demands an emergency hearing on the matter, in a bid to block Megan’s hopes of sharing her latest project on Friday.
      He argues he is simply exercising his contractual right to control distribution of her music, as the hip-hop beauty is still technically under contract, while he also calls into question the “disappointment of her fans” as a legal basis for Megan’s protective order request.
      A decision on the emergency hearing had yet to be made as WENN went to press, but Megan appears to be pressing ahead with the launch of her new tunes regardless – in a post on Instagram, she announced a nine-track project called “Suga” will hit streaming services on Friday.

      Neal Schon and Jon Cain have decided to fire the band’s drummer and bassist for allegedly attempting a ‘corporate coup d’etat’ to control the group’s business entity.
      Mar 5, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Journey’s Neal Schon and Jon Cain have fired drummer Steve Smith and bassist Ross Valory.
      Schon, the only original member now in the band following Valory’s dismissal, and Cain, accused their old bandmates of attempting a “corporate coup d’etat” to control the group’s business entity Nightmare Productions in a lawsuit filed in Los Angeles on Tuesday, March 3, 2020.
      In a press release, the guitarist and keyboard player’s lawyers allege Smith and Valory were “sowing discord” by “engaging in self-dealing and selfishly putting their interests ahead of the band’s.”
      The pair are seeking damages of $10 million and accuse their ex-colleagues of trying to bring an end to the 2017 Rock and Roll Hall of Famers after more than four decades.
      In their complaint they accuse the drummer and bassist of using Nightmare Productions, “as a tool to destroy the fabric of the band, undermining the very reason for Nightmare Productions’ existence.”
      The rockers lead counsel, Per Miller, says, “This is not an action that Neal and Jon wanted to bring against two men that they once considered their brothers, but the devious and truculent behavior of Steve and Ross left them reluctantly with no choice but to act decisively.”
      The “Don’t Stop Believin’ ” hitmakers’ lawyers also state in their release that their clients have “provided notice” to their former pals and are unwilling to perform with them again. Their filing also states that Valory and Smith can no longer use the Journey name.
      Schon and Cain also announced that their tour of North America will get underway in May as planned with regular vocalist Arnel Pineda and a new rhythm section.
      Smith and Valory are yet to publicly respond to the lawsuit.

      Deborah Dugan Accuses Grammy Organization of Nomination Tampering After She's Fired

      by

      WENN/Avalon

      The former Recording Academy president has filed an official complaint with new accusations against the Grammy organization shortly after she was dismissed as the chief.
      Mar 5, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Ousted Recording Academy president and CEO Deborah Dugan has filed an official complaint following her dismissal.
      Attorneys for Dugan, who was officially fired on Monday after being placed on administrative leave in January 2020, filed court papers citing new allegations, some of which involve former Grammy Awards executive producer Ken Ehrlich.
      According to the papers, obtained by Variety, Dugan cites an email written by Ehrlich on October 24, 2019, where he and a “Mr. Mason” attempted to use their positions to influence nomination votes.
      “Specifically, Mr. Ehrlich attempted to press the Academy into nominating a song by a particular superstar in order to increase his ability to convince the superstar to perform at the Grammys,” the filing states.
      Variety reports Ehrlich wrote in the email, “Looking at the (American Music Awards) nominations this morning, it’s more about who’s NOT there than who is… and (superstar) is definitely not gonna be happy. minor representation at best.”
      It is then alleged Ehrlich insisted, “there should be some discussion in a certain room at your meetings next week,” suggesting he attempted to manipulate the nominations.
      Dugan also alleges in her complaint that the academy has “subjected her to repeated, ongoing and egregious retaliation,” including a lawsuit filed by Proskauer Rose who made “outrageous, false and frivolous allegations,” and includes emails from another Recording Academy member who appears to claim that artists are still a part of the selecting committee even if they are up for their own awards.
      Dugan was placed on administrative leave after she was accused of misconduct, while alleging sexual harassment and “egregious conflicts of interest, improper self-dealing by Board members, and voting irregularities with respect to nominations for Grammy Awards,” calling the Recording Academy a “boys’ club.” All the claims were denied by both parties.

      Mar 5, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Mariah Carey has pulled a concert in Hawaii over fears surrounding the spread of the coronavirus.
      Since it emerged in China in December 2019, the virus has sparked outbreaks across the world, prompting governments to impose travel and event restrictions and artists including Stormzy, Avril Lavigne, Halsey, and BTS to cancel or postpone gigs.
      Mariah is the latest performer to have a date fall victim to the disease announcing she is postponing next Tuesday’s March 10, 2020 performance at the Neal S. Blaisdell Arena in Honolulu due to travel restrictions and fears for her fans’ safety.
      “Aloha Hawaii!! I’m so so sad to have to announce that I’m postponing my show to November,” she wrote on Instagram on Tuesday. “I was so excited to come back to Hawaii on my ‘anniversary month’ but evolving international travel restrictions force us to consider everyone’s safety and well being.”
      Postponing the show until November, she revealed she will instead perform one of her Christmas shows in the Pacific Ocean state.
      The pop diva added, “I am SUPER excited to be coming to Honolulu in November and perform my special All I Want for Christmas Is You & Hits extravaganza for the first time ever in Hawaii! I can’t wait to see you! Stay safe!!”
      The virus has now infected more than 94,000 across the world, killing more than 3,000, and its spread has put everything from film releases to concerts and sports events in jeopardy due to fears of a global pandemic.

      Genesis to Reunite for U.K. Tour 13 Years After Last Gig

      by

      WENN/Daniel Deme

      Phil Collins, Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford will make the official announcement on BBC radio months after the trio were seen watching a basketball game in New York City together.
      Mar 4, 2020
      AceShowbiz – British rock legends Genesis are to reunite for a U.K. tour, according to multiple reports.
      Phil Collins, Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford will officially announce the big news on BBC radio on Wednesday morning (March 04), but they appeared to jump the reveal by posting a throwback photo of the trio on Instagram on Tuesday, with the caption: “And then there were three.”
      The group’s original frontman, Peter Gabriel, is not expected to be part of the reunion, which takes place 13 years after his former bandmates last played together to mark their 40th anniversary.

      The reunion news comes two months after Collins, Rutherford and Banks were spotted watching a basketball game together in New York City.
      Collins is unlikely to sing and play drums onstage after admitting he can no longer get behind the kit after multiple back surgeries.
      He recently told Rolling Stone that he’d like his 19-year-old son, Nicholas, to take over drumming if a reunion came about, stating, “I haven’t really said it to Tony and Mike… (but) if we did anything again it would be with Nic on drums,” he said.
      And Rutherford seemed to like the idea while talking about a get together on “Good Morning Britain”: “I’ve always said, for years, never say never (to a reunion)… Phil (Collins) is in good shape now out touring, his son (Nic) is drumming – fantastic drummer. Never say never.”

      Maluma Postpones Milan Concert, Lacuna Coil Axe Tour Dates Over Coronavirus Fears

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Corazon’ singer reschedules the Italian stop of his ’11:11 World Tour’, while the gothic metal band pulls out of Asia and Australia concerts that include the Download Festival.
      Mar 4, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Latin superstar Maluma and heavy rockers Lacuna Coil have become the latest artists to cancel concerts in the wake of the coronavirus crisis.
      Maluma is currently on the road with his “11:11 World Tour”, but he will no longer be performing in Milan, Italy on Saturday (March 07), opting to postpone the gig until 31 March, according to Billboard.com.
      At present, no other live dates have been scrapped or pushed back.
      Meanwhile, Italian goth metal stars Lacuna Coil have pulled a string of upcoming concerts in Asia and Australia, including the Download Festival stops in Melbourne and Sydney on 20 and 21 March, and Canadian rockers Wolf Parade have nixed their booked events across Europe and the U.K.

      “It would be both globally irresponsible and potentially risky for the band to carry out the tour at this time,” the group shared in a statement posted on Facebook.
      “We did not arrive at this decision easily, but in the end, the band and our team all agree it is the right and responsible decision. We hope you understand.”

      Other musicians to rethink tour dates as the coronavirus continues to spread include Avril Lavigne, BTS (Bangtan Boys), New Order, and Green Day.
      The coronavirus has claimed over 3,000 lives so far, with more than 90,000 people infected worldwide.
