      AceShowbiz – Shakira’s hit “Whenever, Wherever” has conquered the iTunes Top 100 chart 19 years after its release.
      The Colombian superstar performed a snippet from the song during her Super Bowl half-time performance on Sunday, February 02, and it appears that was enough to drive the song up the download countdown.
      Shakira’s songs “Hips Don’t Lie”, “Waka Waka”, and “She Wolf” have also surged into the top 10, thanks to her performance, alongside Jennifer Lopez, in Miami, Florida.
      The pop superstar, J.Lo and their special guests Bad Bunny and J Balvin have also experienced a sales surge on Spotify.
      Shakira’s “Empire” and “She Wolf” spiked by over 900 percent in the hours following the Super Bowl, while interest in Lopez’s “Get Right” and “Waiting For Tonight” pumped up by more than 680 percent.

      In her recent interview with Vogue magazine, the Grammy-winning songstress claimed that the current hip-hop music has ‘tons of songs where people are just lying.’
      Feb 5, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Billie Eilish might need to think twice before making a comment now. The Grammy winner has landed in hot water over a comment she made in her recent interview with Vogue that rubbed a lot of people, especially hip-hop fans and musicians, the wrong way.
      Talking about the music industry during the interview, Billie claimed that many rappers are not keeping it real and are fabricating stories in their songs. “Just because the story isn’t real doesn’t mean it can’t be important,” she noted. “There’s a difference between lying in a song and writing a story. There are tons of songs where people are just lying.”
      The “Bad Guy” hirmaker went on to point out, “There’s a lot of that in rap right now, from people that I know who rap. It’s like, ‘I got my AK-47, and I’m f***in’…,’ and I’m like, what? You don’t have a gun. ‘And all my b***hes…,’ I’m like which b***hes? That’s posturing, and that’s not what I’m doing.”
      Her comments soon sparked backlash, with one accusing her of appropriating black culture, “Billie Eilish appropriates black culture then drags black music just like Miley Cyrus did but y’all don’t keep the same energy. If you cancel one, gotta cancel both.” Meanwhile, another urged “anyone that agrees with Billie Eilish on what she said about rap/hip hop” to stay away from him/her, adding, “You are the feds.”
      Someone pointed, “The most overrated generic artist in the world rn shouldn’t have an opinion about hip-hop,” while one other said, “Turning to 17 year old white girls to determine what’s authentic in this culture? That’s what we doing now?” A different person accused her hypocrisy, “Ain’t she admit that she doesn’t live any of the problems she sings about tho?”
      One individual told Billie to “mind your business,” while another weighed in, “This chick literally sounds like she is whispering on every track she makes… any hip hop take is automatically null bro please go.” There was also one who sarcastically said, “So she emulates hip hop culture, gets a few grammys and then attempts to s**t on hip hop? Oh ok, got it.”
      Billie has yet to respond to the backlash.

      Nicki Minaj Accused of Disrespecting Rosa Parks on Preview of New Song 'Yikes'

      by

      WENN/Brian To

      Offering her devoted fans a teaser of her upcoming song, the Trinidadian rapper delivers the bar that gets people wilding online, ‘All you b***hes Rosa Parks, uh-oh get your a** up!’
      Feb 4, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Nicki Minaj is about to bid farewell to her retirement with her new solo music. The hip-hop superstar took to social media on Monday night, February 3 to give her devoted fans a sneak peak at her new song entitled “Yikes”, which was soon met with controversy due to one particular line.
      Filming herself singing along to the song in a recording studio, Nicki rapped, “Woke up, the price of coke up/ I just hit em with the low cut then call my folks up.” She continued spitting her bars, “This is a mac truck not a black truck/ When we move tell ’em back up/ Click the clack,” before delivering the bar that got a lot of people wilding online, “All you b***hes Rosa Parks, uh-oh get your a** up!”
      The line got mixed reaction from social media users, though not a few people were disappointed by the bar and accused the “Bang Bang” rapper of disrespecting the late activist, who is called the “first lady of civil rights” and the “mother of the freedom movement.” One person said, “Nah that Rosa Parks part I don’t like. You shouldn’t had said that. It’s black history month.” Another mad individual wrote, “I loved it… minus the Rosa Parks line!!! It didn’t make sense and it was on the lines of disrespectful!”
      Some people decided not to listen to the full version of the song due to the line, while another commented, “I don’t see nothing cute about this song did y’all not hear what she said that was mad disrespectful.” Meanwhile, a different person said, “I liked everything besides the ‘Rosa Parks part’ like damn ain’t it black history month? Where’s the respect.”
      The backlash aside, this isn’t the first time Nicki references a female figure in black history. During an episode of her radio show “Queen”, she compared herself to abolitionist and political activist Harriet Tubman when airing her frustration about music industry politics.

      Madonna Faces Class Action Lawsuit From Fans Over Late Start to Concerts

      by

      Instagram

      Andrew Panos and Antonio Velotta are suing the ‘Material Girl’ singer for breach of contract, loss of value, false advertisement and negligent misrepresentation.
      Feb 4, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Madonna is at the centre of a new class action lawsuit over her tardy concerts.
      Andrew Panos and Antonio Velotta claim the pop superstar kept them waiting up to three hours before taking the stage at Brooklyn Academy of Music shows in New York last year (2019), and the late concert left them stranded in the city.
      Both men allege they missed their scheduled trains or other rides home because the pop star’s concerts didn’t end until 1am, and this messed up their work and school plans for the day after the gigs.
      They are suing for breach of contract, loss of value, false advertisement and negligent misrepresentation, and asking for damages and legal fees, according to TMZ.
      The new lawsuit comes two months after a similar one was filed in Florida by more angry Madonna fans.
      The singer’s ongoing “Madame X” tour has been plagued by concert cancellations and unannounced late shows, all of which the “Material Girl” singer has apologised for.

      The South Korean band makes the announcement just days after managers for Super Junior pulled the plug on promotional shows near Seoul and TWICE canceled meet-and-greet in Tokyo, Japan.
      Feb 4, 2020
      AceShowbiz – K-pop stars GOT7 have scrapped three upcoming concerts in Thailand and Singapore over health concerns as the coronavirus outbreak continues to spread worldwide.
      The South Korean band had been due to take its “Keep Spinning World Tour” to Bangkok on February 15 and 16, but event organisers at 4NOLOGUE have since announced the dates have been pulled, citing “coronavirus proliferation concerns”.
      Another gig in Singapore, booked for February 22, was also cancelled due to the same reason.
      The news emerges days after fears over the coronavirus prompted managers for Super Junior to pull the plug on a pair of promotional shows near Seoul in South Korea on Tuesday, February 4 to support the boy band’s new album.
      Meanwhile, K-pop stars TWICE have axed a trip to Tokyo, Japan for a fan meet-and-greet, as have singers Kang Sung Hoon and Kim Woo Seok, who ditched planned gatherings in their native South Korea.
      The coronavirus originated in Wuhan, China, where more than 300 people have died since its discovery in late December (2019), while confirmed cases have since been reported in over 20 other countries, including the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, France, Germany, and Japan.

      Guns N' Roses Honors Late Kobe Bryant With 'Knockin' on Heaven's Door' at Super Bowl Fest

      WENN

      Prior to performing the classic cover with his band, frontman Axl Rose takes a moment to recall a feeling of foreboding the night before the NBA legend’s helicopter crashed in Calabasas, California.
      Feb 3, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose honoured Kobe Bryant onstage on Friday (January 31) by dedicating “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door” to the tragic basketball star and his daughter.
      The rocker took a moment out of the band’s Super Bowl Music Fest set in Miami, Florida to remember the sports icon, revealing he had experienced a feeling of foreboding the night before Bryant’s helicopter crashed in Calabasas, California on 26 January, killing the Los Angeles Lakers legend, his 13-year-old girl Gianna, and seven other people.
      “The other night coming home from rehearsal… I was like, ‘Is it just me, or is that really weird?'” Rose recalled prior to performing the classic cover.
      “It was this fog bank, like a thunder cloud over the trees,” he continued. “It was really white with a slight pink above the trees… It was really weird. The only word I had for that at the time (was) it looked formidable. By morning, apparently, it was much worse. That’s where (Bryant’s) helicopter flew through. It was pretty scary.”
      Rose then added, “I want to dedicate this to Kobe and his daughter and everyone on the flight and everyone in the families and everyone impacted by this terrible event (sic).”

      Meanwhile, Bryant’s high school prom date, R&B singer Brandy, broke her silence over his untimely passing in a sombre social media post on Friday.

      Alongside a photo of Kobe and Gianna, Brandy wrote, “Never will I understand. My condolences to (widow) @vanessabryant, and all families who are in pain during this tragic time. Love #Mamba #Mambacita.”
