      Nicki Minaj Calls Her Fans 'Bullies' for Pressuring Her to Release 'Yikes'

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Bang Bang’ rapper makes the comment when one of her Twitter followers asks her about how the controversial song came about during her QnA session on the micro-blogging site.
      Feb 10, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Rapper Nicki Minaj was “bullied” into rush-releasing her new single, “Yikes”.
      The “Moment 4 Life” hitmaker’s latest material hit streaming services on Friday (February 07), days after teasing social media followers with a brief preview of the tune last Monday.
      Fans responded so well, Minaj claims she felt pressured to finish the song and release it to the masses – while her label chiefs also apparently pressed her to complete the track.
      The newlywed hip-hop star made the remarks in a Twitter question and answer session on Saturday, when one devotee asked her how Yikes came about.
      “I was playing a snippet for my crazy fans & they made me put it out,” she replied. “They are bullies. I only had 1 verse done. The label bullied me too. I’ve been bullied.”

      Minaj went on to share how she improvised the hook – and she loved it so much, she left it in.
      “I made up the hook with no (lyrics written on) paper,” she explained. “Just freestyled in the booth cuz (sic) I loved the beat. so the yikes part is me hearing the beat for the very first time. The verses I wrote down. The outro was a freestyle.”

      Yikes is Minaj’s first solo single of the year, but the initial teaser drew some harsh criticism after she referenced late civil rights activist Rosa Parks and her role in sparking the Montgomery bus boycott of 1955 in the lyrics.
      “All you b**ches Rosa Parks/Uh oh, get your a** up,” she raps on the track, which was previewed on the eve of what would have been Parks’ 107th birthday.
      TMZ subsequently reported that Minaj was blaming “bad timing” for the controversy, while sources alleged she didn’t mean to “offend or disrespect Parks”.
      However, Minaj has since made it clear she was unaware of any backlash – and she wouldn’t have taken notice anyway.
      “Never said this,” she posted on Instagram Stories, alongside the headline. “Had no clue anyone was mad. Don’t care. #Yikes”.

      The single is expected to feature on the follow up to 2018’s “Queen” album.

      Taylor Swift Asks Phoebe Waller-Bridge to Put Brother on 'Killing Eve' Soundtrack

      by

      WENN/Avalon/Instar/Avalon

      Words on the street are, the Grammy-winning songstress made the request when she bumped into the ‘Fleabag’ actress at the 2020 Golden Globe Awards last month.
      Feb 10, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Taylor Swift is reportedly trying to land her younger brother Austin a spot on Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s “Killing Eve” soundtrack.
      The “ME!” singer, 30, is a massive fan of the hit show and, when she bumped into Phoebe at the Golden Globes last month (January), she apparently asked if her brother Austin, 27, could showcase his vocals on the soundtrack for the third series.
      According to Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper, Phoebe, who is the creator and also writes and executive produces the show, agreed to think about the request.
      Taylor and Austin are notably close, with her younger brother appearing in several of the hitmaker’s music videos – most recently in home movie footage for her holiday tune, “Christmas Tree Farm”.
      The actor has also landed roles in “I.T.”, alongside Pierce Brosnan, and in last year’s horror flick, “We Summon the Darkness”.

      Logan Paul Mocks Antonio Brown's NFL Career on Diss Track 'Going Broke'

      by

      Instagram

      The song also finds the YouTube personality questioning whether the free agent is truly as wealthy as he claims he really is and disses him over his legal woes.
      Feb 10, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Logan Paul is taking his feud with Antonio Brown to a whole new level. Pushing for a boxing showdown with the former NFL wide receiver, the YouTube personality came out with a diss track that takes a jab at the free agent’s career downfalls and legal woes.
      On Sunday, February 9, the 24-year-old unleashed the song titled “Going Broke” along with its mock music video via his YouTube account. In the over-three-minute clip, he could be seen sporting a New England Patriots jersey with Tom Brady’s No. 12 as a reference to the team who dropped the 31-year-old after only one game.
      “No you should, no you should’ve never started with me/ No, you shouldn’t/ Say you ain’t playin’ games but your head look like some Tetris,” Paul spitted in part of the track’s verse. “Dropped by your agent and your lawyer, why you flexing?/ I’m here to save you, take the blessing/ ‘Cause your career fell apart like One Direction.”
      In the diss track, Paul additionally made fun of Brown’s music foray with “Whole Lotta Money”, suggesting the athlete was not as wealthy as he claimed. “Yeah, Mr. Whole Lotta Money goin’ broke/ ‘Cause Mr. Whole Lotta Money gon’ choke,” he sang in the chorus. He further taunted the views of his rival’s music video. “Yo, take a hint, get the f**k off YouTube,” he belted out.

      Paul teased about the diss track back in January. “Antonio Brown, despite causing a slew of problems with the law, has now denied two multi-multi-million dollar official offers to fight me,” he wrote on Twitter, tagging Brown along. “You’ve wasted my time and leave me no choice but to body you via diss track.”
      On the boxing match itself, Paul first launched his challenge at Brown in late 2019. “Antonio Brown, I wanna f**k you up,” he said during an appearance on Barstool’s KFC Radio fresh off his rematch with British YouTuber KSI. In early January, Brown responded to Paul’s match invite by posting on Twitter, “square up @LoganPaul.”
      It was not until Paul claimed he will drop Brown “faster than the Patriots” that the latter claimed to have enlisted former professional boxer Floyd Mayweather, Jr. to prepare him for the match. “2020 boxing match vs @loganpaul,” Brown bragged on Instagram. “my trainer @floydmayweather let’s get it…. Comment below if you coming to fight.”

      Feb 10, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Not only Demi Lovato is a very talented singer who is blessed with a beautiful singing voice, but she is also one who embraces her personal struggles and turns it into an art. Her powerful return at the 62nd annual Recording Academy Awards is a proof of that, as she touched many people’s hearts with her emotional rendition of her new song “Anyone”.
      Her raw performance at the award-giving event earned praises from fans and fellow celebrities. Pink, for example, admitted to being torn down by Demi’s set. “I’m so glad you’re here to sing those words, to sing like that. You just gave the whole world a gift straight from the heart.” Selena Gomez, on the other hand, said, “I wish there were words to describe how beautiful, inspirational and DESERVED this moment was. Demi I’m so happy for you. Thank you for your courage and bravery.”
      Following the performance of “Anyone”, which she described as a “cry for help,” Demi released the song and it soon topped iTunes on the all-genre U.S. song sales chart for four days straight. It also garnered one million streams worldwide in no time and became the most downloaded song in the U.S. on Grammy day with over 11,500 sales on the day of the show and more than 27,000 sales within 24 hours of her performance. Meanwhile, a video of the performance accumulated more than 9 million views in less than a week.
      Given its performance in the daily music charts as well as the positive responses the song got, it was no brainer that “Anyone” started off pretty good in the weekly chart. The song debuted at No. 34 on Billboard’s Hot 100 and arrived atop Digital Song Sales chart. It marked Demi’s first No. 1 single on the chart.
      Seeing all the loves she received over the song, Demi admitted in an interview that she is “grateful that the response has been so awesome” and thought that “people are able to hear that song for what it is, which is a very emotional plea for anyone listening.”

      by

      Also among the performers at the annual event in Los Angeles is Idina Menzel, who belts out ‘Frozen 2’ hit ‘Into the Unknown’ along with vocal performers for Elsa from other countries.

      In the beginning of her performance, Janelle paid tribute to Mr. Rogers by slipping into the iconic red sweater while crooning a sweet rendition of “Mister Roger’s Neighborhood” theme song. At one point, she even ventured into the audience to serenade Tom Hanks, who was nominated for best actor in a supporting role for his portrayal of Mr. Rogers in “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood”.
      Moments after handing Tom her hat, Janelle returned to the stage and broke out into an original song dedicated t this year’s nominated films and actors. That was when the 34-year-old sang, “The Oscars, it’s so white, it’s time to come alive,” before Billy Porter joined her onstage to perform Elton John’s “I’m Still Standing”. She received a standing ovation for her performance.
