      Usher Performs at Staples Center to Pay Tribute to Kobe Bryant

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Confessions’ singer delivers a moving performance of ‘Amazing Grace’ before the Los Angeles Lakers match against the Portland Trail Blazers to honor the late NBA star.
      Feb 2, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Usher sung a stunning tribute to honour Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant as the team returned to the court on Friday, January 31, 2020 to play their first game since their former teammate lost his life in a helicopter crash last Sunday.
      The NBA (National Basketball Association) player was one of nine people killed in the incident – alongside his 13-year-old daughter Gianna, who was also a talented basketball player.
      Following the shock news, tributes have poured in for the sportsman, and as his former team resumed business on Friday, after cancelling a planned game earlier this week, they made sure to honour their pal.
      For the match against the Portland Trail Blazers, every seat inside Los Angeles’ Staples Center was covered with a shirt featuring one of Kobe’s numbers – 8 and 24 – and two chairs on the players’ row of chairs were adorned with his and his late daughter’s jerseys.

      While warming up for the game, the team wore Kobe’s jersey, and Usher made an appearance, dedicating a rendition of gospel classic “Amazing Grace” to his memory.
      Kobe’s initials KB were also placed on the edge of the court and his numbers were written out in flower petals.

      Following news of Kobe’s death, Usher led the stars campaigning for the NBA to change its logo to honour the five-time NBA champion writing, “Couldn’t be a better time or all around athlete and person for it #changethelogo.”
      Meanwhile, his ex-teammates LeBron James and Anthony Davis honoured their late pal with new tattoos. LeBron got a snake in reference to Kobe’s Black Mamba nickname, with the words “Mamba 4 Life” on his left thigh, with Anthony opting for a similar design.

      Lil Wayne Scrambling to Make Adjustment to His New Album to Honor Kobe Bryant

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Lollipop’ hitmaker reveals he made last minute edits to his new album ‘Funeral’ to make a room for a tribute to the NBA hero following his sudden passing.
      Feb 2, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Lil Wayne has rushed to the studio to include an honour to late basketball legend Kobe Bryant on his new album, “Funeral”.
      The rapper added 24 seconds of silence to track number eight, “Bing James” featuring Jay Rock, on his 10th studio offering to pay respect to the sports hero, who wore the numbers 8 and 24 on the back of his jersey as a team star on the Los Angeles Lakers.
      Lil Wayne gave a shout out to producers who worked tirelessly to edit in the tribute just hours before “Funeral” reached fans on Friday, January 31, 2020 during a morning interview on the Fox Sports 1 “Undisputed” television talk show.
      The star also explained the fact that “Funeral” has 24 tracks is purely a coincidence.
      Bryant passed away last weekend, January 26, 2020, aged 41, in a devastating helicopter crash that also claimed the life of his 13-year-old daughter Gianna. Seven other people also perished in the Calabasas, California accident.

      Lewis Capaldi Says Being No. 2 Is Disgusting as He Tops Chart With 'Before you Go'

      by

      Instagram

      The ‘Someone You Loved’ crooner dodges early retirement as his latest single from the extended edition of ‘Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent’ dominates the U.K. singles chart.
      Feb 1, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Lewis Capaldi won’t have to follow through on a pledge to quit music as his track “Before You Go” is at the top of the U.K. singles chart.
      The Scottish singer-songwriter released several remixes of the tune, from his album “Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent”, in a bid to secure top spot, and jokingly told his Instagram followers he’d give up and get a new job if he failed.
      However, he won’t have to make good on the promise, as the song tops Friday’s January 31, 2020 Official Charts Company rundown ahead of The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights”.
      A delighted Lewis tells OfficialCharts.com, “It’s so nice to get another one in the bag, second number one for my song Before You Go and it means the world so thank you so much if you went and bought it.”
      “Obviously becoming number one is absolutely everything to me and I would be disgusted if I had the number two spot, it would be gross, so yeah I’m so glad I’m not that guy, and if I did I don’t know what I would do, I would probably go home, cry into my hands and just have an awful, awful time, so thank you so much.”
      Roddy Ricch’s “The Box” is at three, with last week’s number one, Eminem’s track featuring late rapper Juice WRLD, Godzilla at four. Stormzy, Ed Sheeran, and Burna Boy’s “Own It” complete the top five.
      U.K. grime star J Hus tops the albums chart with “Big Conspiracy”, pushing Eminem’s “Music to Be Murdered by” down to two. Pet Shop Boys’ “Hotspot” enters at three, with “Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent” at four, and masked rapper M Huncho’s “Huncholini the 1st” completing the top five.

      Madonna Undergoes 6-Hour Rehab Every Day During Tour, Cancels More Shows

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Vogue’ hitmaker confirms cancellation of two more dates after one of her dancers, Marvin Gofin, hints at shortened Madame X Tour amid the singer’s health woes.
      Feb 1, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Madonna has pulled two more concerts on her beleaguered Madame X Tour to allow the injured singer “time to recover” in between her live shows.
      The 61 year old’s ongoing health woes have forced her to cancel gigs in cities including Miami, Florida, and Lisbon, Portugal in recent weeks, while she also axed the first night of her planned 15-date residency at the London Palladium in England on Monday, January 27, 2020.
      The “Vogue” hitmaker returned to the stage in the British capital on Wednesday and Thursday, but fans were left wondering if Madonna was going to scrap more stops after one of her dancers, Marvin Gofin, hinted at a shortened tour on his Instagram Stories timeline, when he wrote, “Madame X 7 More.”
      Gofin didn’t offer up any further details, but on Friday, Madonna revealed she was cancelling two upcoming concerts during her stay in London on doctors’ orders – in an effort to make it to the end of her trek, which wraps in March following a 14-night stint at Le Grand Rex in Paris, France.
      Breaking the news to ticketholders on Instagram, she wrote, “As you all know i have multiple injuries and have had to cancel shows to give myself time to recover.”
      “So as not to surprise you i want to let you know ahead of time that I will be cancelling 2 shows- on Feb 4 and Feb 11th at the Palladium in London. because doing 3 shows in a row is too much on my body and in fact my doctors insist i take a day off after every show but i believe can manage if i do 2 shows then I rest (sic)!”
      “Its a miracle i have gotten this far but a-lot has to do with the fact that i do 6 hours of re-hab every day (sic). 3 hours before show and 3 after with multiple therapies,” she explained.

      Madonna went on to share that she had “switched to flat shoes” and “modified” trickier aspects of the performance to make it easier on her body.
      “This has helped enormously but i still need to be careful and of course rest is the best medicine,” she added.
      “i never want to cancel any show and Im determined that i will make it to the end if i pace myself (sic). God Willing…”
      Concluding her post, she wrote, “I appreciate your understanding and sincerely apologize for any inconvenience. Thank you!! Madame X.”
      The singer is due to continue her London run on Saturday, February 1, 2020.
      She had also pulled out of shows in New York, Los Angeles, and Boston, Massachusetts earlier on in the tour, which kicked off in September 2019.

      Taylor Swift Shoots Down Claims She Skipped Grammys Over Sketchy Reason

      by

      WENN/Instar

      The ‘Lover’ singer’s team reportedly contacted the prizegiving organizers days before the live event to get a guarantee that she will win the Song of the Year prize.
      Feb 1, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Taylor Swift reportedly chose to skip the Grammy Awards last Sunday, January 26 because she wasn’t guaranteed to win a prize.
      According to the New York Post’s gossip column Page Six, the singer’s team talked to show organisers a few days before the live event and said that Swift would only attend and perform if she was guaranteed to win the Song of the Year prize.
      However, they were reportedly informed the winners are not known to those planning the show, and they would not bend the rules for her.
      “(Her team) called and wanted to be assured that she would win the Grammy. And while it wasn’t an explicit demand, they certainly were fishing to find out if Taylor was a winner. It was understood in the conversation that if she’s not winning, she’s not coming to the Grammys,” one insider said.
      Another shared: “It’s widely known in the industry that (Swift’s team) called to find out if she was getting a Grammy, they wouldn’t tell her, so she didn’t go. It’s not uncommon (for an artist) to want to know. And everyone knows Taylor loves to win, win, win.”
      However, a spokesperson for the star called the allegations “100 per cent false and laughable”, adding, “She just didn’t go to the Grammys. You guys need to calm down.”
      Swift was also nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Pop Solo Performance. She lost Song of the Year to Billie Eilish’s “Bad Guy”, while Eilish also won Best Pop Vocal Album with “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?”, and Lizzo scooped Best Pop Solo Performance for “Truth Hurts”.

      Diddy Accused of 'Starving' His Artists and 'Robbing' Mase After Grammy Speech

      by

      Instagram

      Taking to Instagram, Mase recalls the time when his 19-year-old self tried to buy back his masters from the music mogul by offering $2 million in cash to no avail.
      Feb 1, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Sean “P. Diddy” Combs has been applauded by a lot of people due to his powerful speech against the Recording Academy, but people who have worked with the 50-year-old music mogul felt otherwise. After Sauce Money, it was Mase’s turn to take to social media to call out Diddy and accuse him of hypocrisy.
      In the Friday, January 31 post, Mase took issue with the way Diddy exploits his artist and claimed that he once tried to buy back his masters from Diddy to no avail. “Your past business practices knowingly has continued purposely starved your artist and been extremely unfair to the very same artist that helped u obtain that Icon Award on the iconic Badboy label,” he said, using his past experience as an example.
      “For example, u still got my publishing from 24 years ago in which u gave me $20k. Which makes me never want to work w/ u as any artist wouldn’t after u know someone is robbing you & tarnishing your name when u don’t want to comply w/ his horrendous business model,” he continued, saying that he had offered $2 million for his masters before. However, Diddy refused the offer unless he could surpass the “European guy’s offer.”
      He went on to recall the experience he had at 19 years old, “Or else I can wait until I’m 50 years old and it will revert back to me from when I was 19 years old. You bought it for about 20K & I offered you 2m in cash.” Mase concluded his lengthy post by demanding Diddy do better in the future. “No More Hiding Behind ‘Love’. U CHANGED? GIVE THE ARTIST BACK THEIR $$$. So they can take care of their families.”

      Sauce Money said similar things after Diddy called out the Recording Academy for not respecting hip-hop and black music. He said on Instagram at the time, “I can honestly say I respect the message, just not coming from him. He practices the same backdoor politics against his own people. Him and his friend Jay-Z.”
      Meanwhile, Diddy hasn’t responded to the accusations.

      Headlining the SiriusXM and Pandora Opening Drive Super Concert Series, the ‘Truth Hurts’ hitmaker heats up the stage for two hours and treats fans to ‘Juice’ duet with Harry Styles.
      Feb 1, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Lizzo celebrated the life and legacy of late basketball star Kobe Bryant during her pre-Super Bowl concert on Thursday, January 30, night.
      The “Truth Hurts” hitmaker took the stage at the SiriusXM & Pandora Opening Drive Super Concert Series at The Fillmore Miami Beach in Florida, where she told the crowd, “I can’t be at the largest sporting event of the year without mentioning the tragic loss of Kobe Bryant and his daughter Gianna.”

      “We have an effect on each other,” the “Good As Hell” singer added. “We have to be good to each other. We don’t know what tomorrow holds. We don’t know if tomorrow’s promised. So, I want you all to just really dig down deep inside and be good to yourself, be good to your family.”
      Lizzo performed for two hours, and brought out surprise guest Harry Styles to duet on closing track “Juice”. Styles has performed the tune a number of times in his recent live shows.
