    Bhad Bhabie Slams 'Dumb' Trolls Calling Her Nicki Minaj Fan Over 'Yikes' Freestyle

    Instagram

    In the 40-second remix itself, the 16-year-old hip-hop star are flexing about ‘big checks, big house, fast cars’ and calling out her competition in the rap game.
    Feb 12, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Bhad Bhabie a.k.a. Danielle Bregoli makes it clear that she’s not a fan of Nicki Minaj even though she released a remix of the Trinidadian rapper’s new song “Yikes”. The teenage star blasted those who called her so just because of the remix.
    On Tuesday, February 11, she shared on her YouTube account her own brief remix treatment for the chart-topping song. On the 40-second freestyle, Bhabie flexes about “big checks, big house, fast cars” while calling out her competition in the rap game, “You h**s ain’t nuthin’ like me, see I’m the wifey/ Gave this h*e a little thing/ She started actin’ sheisty.”
    [embedded content]
    People were rather baffled to learn of her “Yikes” remix, considering that she used to shade Nicki in the past. This prompted people to assume that she had now become a fan of Nicki, and Bhabie wasn’t having it at all. Taking to Instagram Stories, she wrote, “Who ever thinks making a remix of a song makes you a ‘fan’ of the person y’all are dumb as f**kkkkkk.” The 16-year-old rapper later added that those who thought that way should seek help.

    Bhabie threw jabs Nicki a couple of times last year. She once accused the “Anaconda” rapper of not writing her own raps, leading to her getting roasted by the Barbz. However, she stood by her claims and hit back, “I forgot that Nicki’s fandom, majority of them are brainwashed and braindead and are just so in love with her that they believe anything she says or whatever.”
    Later in September, Bhabie once again stirred controversy when she claimed that Nicki was “salty” Cardi B took her spot. “No one told her to get salty,” she said at the time. “If she took Cardi under her wing and been like, ‘Yeah, that’s my b***h.’ She didn’t have to be all, ‘Ugh, I can’t stand another b***h taking my spot.’ Like sit your salty a** down and just deal with it.”

    Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's Daughter North Shows Her Swag During Rap Performance

    Instagram

    The ‘Black Skinhead’ rapper smiles from ear to ear as he proudly watches his eldest child perform an original song and move to the beat during a school dance.
    Feb 11, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Kim Kardashian’s oldest daughter seemed to have inherited her father Kanye West’s musical talents. On Saturday night, February 8, North West showed off her swag as she delivered a rap performance during a school dance at her private elementary school in Los Angeles.
    Surrounded by her classmates and their parents, the 6-year-old confidently lip synced an original song while rocking her body to the beat of the music. She was accompanied by her rapper father who looked closely at her and smiled from ear-to-ear. Several times during her performance, her father could be seen leaning down and whispering to her.
    The lyrics of the song itself contained a reference to YouTube personality JoJo Siwa. “And I’m friends with JoJo,” a part of the song could be heard. The lyrics also revealed that North is missing a friend named Hayden. “I miss you Hayden / it’s been a long time / we should get on FaceTime / so I can say hi,” it went.

    For the performance, North donned a black fringe jacket, black pants and and a pair of bright pink shoes. Her hair was styled in two long pigtails. Her father Kanye, in the meantime, rocked a yellow jacket and a pair of dark trousers.
    This was not North’s first public performance. In one episode of “Keeping Up with the Kardashians”, Kim talked about how her daughter regularly performed at her father’s Sunday Service. “North loves Sunday Service,” she shared. “And she just loves to dance, she loves to sings, she loves to be a part of just, the whole experience with her dad. Singing songs and being together.”
    North’s rap performance came one day before Kim and Kanye made an appearance at Jay-Z and Beyonce Knowles’ super private Oscars after-party. The power couple came to the bash held at Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles after attending the Vanity Fair Oscars Party. She wore a cream-hued, asymmetrical-shouldered Alexander McQueen gown, while the “Follow God” rapper kept it simple with a leather pant suit and sleek sunglasses.

    WENN

    The drummer makes his stage return alongside his bandmates just weeks after he took them to court for freezing him out of performances at the MusiCares and the Grammys.
    Feb 11, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Aerosmith’s drummer Joey Kramer is set to return to the stage with his bandmates in Las Vegas on Monday night (February 10) just weeks after they told him he wasn’t good enough for their Grammy weekend shows.
    Kramer took the band to court last month (January 2020) after learning he had been “frozen out” of the group’s performances at the MusiCares Person the Year tribute and the Grammys themselves.
    Steven Tyler and the rest of the band made Joey audition for his spot after he underwent a shoulder injury that kept him offstage last year (2019), and when he failed to impress, they opted to use a replacement for the big shows.
    Kramer lost his bid for reinstatement, but now it appears his bandmates have had a change of heart and he’ll be back behind the kit for Monday night’s set in Sin City.
    Sources tell TMZ, the band feels Joey is back at his best.

    Jay-Z Showed Up to Omarion and Bow Wow's Joint Concert, But Left After One Song

    https://www.beyonce.com/Instagram

    Elsewhere in the interview, the two musicians who are going to embark on ‘Millennium Tour 2020’ explain the reason why Jermaine Dupri didn’t produce any tracks on ‘Face Off’.
    Feb 11, 2020
    AceShowbiz – It seems keeping Jay-Z entertained is a hard thing to do, even for Omarion and Bow Wow. During an interview to promote their upcoming “Millennium Tour 2020”, the rappers recalled the time when Hov showed up to one of their “Face Off” tour stops at Madison Garden Square Garden in New York, only to leave after watching one performance.
    Bow Wow dished that the only reason Hov even came to the show was because he and Omarion were performing a cover of Hov’s collaboration with R. Kelly, “Best of Both Worlds”. He said, “He heard about it and said, ‘They perform ‘Best of the Both Worlds. That’s the first song that they come out on.’ Bow does [Hov’s] verse, [Omarion] does Kellz’s part.”
    He continued recalling, “So Hov comes to the Garden, stands in the tunnel, watches the intro and me and O are hyped. By the time the song was off, I looked in the tunnel, Hov was gone. He came to watch that one piece, there were twenty thousand in that motherf***er, he saw that s**t and then got in the car and drove off.”
    Elsewhere in the interview, the duo explained the reason why Bow Wow’s longtime collaborator Jermaine Dupri didn’t produce any of the tracks on their joint album “Face Off”. Omarion stated that it was because the “Growing Up Hip Hop: Atlanta” star fired the So So Def founder within a day of the production.
    Citing creative differences, Bow Wow then chimed in, “We didn’t even get a chance to record over a Jermaine Dupri track. Day one, we go into the studio and me, O, and Jermaine are just talking. I’m like, ‘I’m just not really feeling what the f**k he’s doing and the records that he wants to do.’ ” This prompted the two to have an agreement, with Jermaine challenging the two artists to make a hit without his help.
    “I gave y’all a No. 1 [hit on the Hot Rap Songs chart]. Y’all go ahead and make me proud and do it without me,” Bow Wow remembered what Jermaine said. “And we did it, and we end up having a f***ing successful album. It still sold like 755,000 copies and we dropped ‘Girlfriend’ and we was able to put out two singles.”

    Eminem Spills the Reason Why He Kept First Oscars Performance a Secret

    WENN/Avalon

    During an interview with Variety, the Detroit rapper also reveals why he decided not to perform ‘Lose Yourself’ at the 2003 ceremony, when it was announced as Best Original Song winner.
    Feb 11, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Eminem has gotten candid about why he kept his first performance at the Academy Awards a secret. “The Real Slim Shady” rapper came out with the confession just hours after surprising viewers with a performance of his Oscar-winning song “Lose Yourself” at the 92nd annual prizegiving on Sunday night, February 9.
    When asked by Variety why it was so important to keep his performance secret, the 47-year-old MC admitted, “I don’t know.” He went on to explain, “I think it was either [the Oscars’] idea or Paul and [longtime publicist Dennis Dennehy’s] idea before they brought it to me. It was presented to me that way and I said, ‘Oh that’s kinda dope, to not even announce it.’ ”
    Speaking about the preparation for his Oscars performance, the “Godzilla” hitmaker recalled, “We flew in [to Los Angeles] last week, so we probably have four or five rehearsals just to make sure we got everything right. Most of the rehearsals were offsite, not in [the Dolby Theater], just trying to keep it secret.”
    During the chat, the father of three also explained why he chose 2020 as the year he delivered a rendition of his hit song. “I kinda figured maybe since I didn’t get a chance to do it at the time, maybe it would be cool,” he said before explaining why he didn’t attend the 2003 prizegiving event though his track was nominated for Best Original Song.
    “Back then, I never even thought that I had a chance to win, and we had just performed ‘Lose Yourself’ on the Grammys with the Roots a couple of weeks before the Oscars, so we didn’t think it was a good idea.”
    “And also, back at that time, the younger me didn’t really feel like a show like that would understand me. But then when I found out I won, ‘That’s crazy!’ That to me shows how authentic and real that award is – when you don’t show up and you still win. That makes it very real to me.”
    Asked if he was disappointed for missing out on the special moment, the “Love the Way You Lie” rapper replied, “I don’t know that I was disappointed, I was blown back by the fact that I won.” He added, “I don’t even think I understood back then that you could get an Oscar for a song, and I remember being kinda confused about why I was even up for one, because as a kid with the Oscars, it was like a vacuum.”
    Eminem was not the only one talking about his surprise performance at the 2020 ceremony. Oscars co-producer Lynette Howell explained that the MC’s participation was in line with the show’s “impact” theme. “We’ve been holding onto it for a while,” she added. “It was nice that we surprised people – we don’t usually get to surprise anybody in this day and age!”
