    Ozzy Osbourne and Post Malone Hosting Watch Party for New Music Video

    WENN

    The Back Sabbath rocker and the ‘Congratulations’ hitmaker are scheduled to premiere their music video for latest collaboration ‘It’s a Raid’ during an online watch party.

    Feb 12, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Ozzy Osbourne and Post Malone are to host a watch party of their brand new “It’s a Raid” video on Thursday evening (11Feb21).
    The pair teamed up to record the track for Ozzy’s hit 2020 album “Ordinary Man” and now an animated promo is set to be released, with the stars introducing the debut on Ozzy’s YouTube channel at 7pm ET.
    The song and video were inspired by an incident at Ozzy’s Bel Air, California home after the rocker set off the security alarm while recording Black Sabbath’s “Vol. 4” album.
    Paranoid Osbourne hid in a bathroom after convincing himself the police officers who arrived to check on his welfare were there to raid the home and arrest him for drug possession.

    “I had piles of marijuana and cocaine and I’m shouting, ‘It’s a f**king raid!’ before hiding the drugs and ingesting cocaine while hiding in one of the home’s bathrooms,” Ozzy recalls.
    In the video, directed by Tomas Lenert, the rock icon and Post Malone lead police through the streets of Los Angeles.
    “Understandably COVID-19 made it difficult to get together to shoot a music video for It’s a Raid, so we opted for this wildly imagined animated video for the final single from the Ordinary Man album,” Ozzy explains.
    The song marks Osbourne’s second duet with Malone – they previously teamed up for “Take What You Want” from the rapper’s “Hollywood’s Bleeding” album. The odd couple performed the track at last year’s (20) American Music Awards.

    Post Malone Makes New Billboard Hot 100 Record With 'Circles'

    Scoring 34 weeks on the music chart, the ‘Rockstar’ hitmaker passes his own record of 33 weeks in the Top 10 with his previous Swae Lee collaboration, ‘Sunflower’.
    Apr 28, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Post Malone has grabbed a new U.S. chart record after scoring 34 weeks in the Billboard Hot 100 with his hit “Circles”.
    The former three-week number one’s run has passed the rapper’s “Sunflower” collaboration with Swae Lee, among the tracks, which have spent 33 weeks in the top 10.
    “Girls Like You” by Maroon 5 and Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You” have also spent 33 weeks in the top 10.
    It has been a good start to the week for Malone, whose Friday night (April 24) virtual Nirvana covers concert has now raised $4 million (£3.2 million) for coronavirus relief.
    The 24-year-old star teamed up with Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and two musician friends to put on the 80-minute virtual gig, which was streamed live on YouTube. Proceeds will benefit the United Nations Foundation’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund for the World Health Organization.
    Meanwhile, The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” has landed a fourth week at number one on the the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, keeping Drake’s “Toosie Slide” locked in at two.

    Roddy Ricch’s “The Box”, Dua Lipa’s “Don’t Start Now” and Doja Cat’s “Say So” also remain exactly where they were a week ago.

    Apr 27, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Post Malone’s virtual Nirvana tribute concert on Friday night, April 24, 2020 raised over $500,000 for the United Nations Foundation’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund.
    The rapper, who is a die-hard fan of Kurt Cobain’s band, was joined remotely by Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and two musician pals for the charity jam.
    “What’s up, party people,” Malone said at the top of the livestreamed show. “We’re gonna play some Nirvana for you, and have some fun, and hopefully I don’t f**k up… Thank you to the gentlemen who wrote these beautiful songs.”

    The 80-minute set featured several tracks from Nirvana’s classic album “Nevermind”, including “Lithium”, “Drain You”, and “Come as You Are” as well as “Very Ape”, “Heart-Shaped Box”, and “About a Girl”.

    Cobain’s widow Courtney Love gave the rap star her blessing to perform her late husband’s songs before the event went live and Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic live-tweeted during the livestream.
    “I don’t think these fellows can play any better. They are on fire…!,” he tweeted. “I am holding emotions back the whole show.”

    Post Malone Slapped With Songwriting Credit Lawsuit Over 'Circles'

    Instagram

    Claiming to have co-wrote the chords and bass line for the rapper’s hit single, Tyler Armes is seeking to get a co-writing credit and a fair cut of past and future royalties through the legal action.
    Apr 8, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Rap star Post Malone is facing legal action over the songwriting credits for his hit single “Circles”.
    Tyler Armes claims he teamed up with the hip-hop sensation in the summer of 2018 to create what became “Circles”, insisting he co-wrote the chords and bass line, and also contributed to the guitar melody and other aspects of the track.
    The song became a global chart smash last year (19), but Armes was never given proper recognition for the tune – and now he’s suing both Post and producer Frank Dukes, who was present for the collaboration session and was given a co-writing credit.
    In court papers, the plaintiff alleges he had been in negotiations with Post’s team officials about his compensation shortly before “Circles” was released in late August, 2019, and was offered five per cent of publishing royalties – although he wouldn’t be listed as a writer.
    He tried to fight for more, in addition to the co-writing credit, but was shut down – and when the song dropped, Armes’ name wasn’t mentioned at all.
    According to the legal filing, Armes has a written exchange with Post’s manager about the dispute, reportedly noting the rapper’s acknowledgement of his input into the creation of “Circles”.
    He is demanding a co-writing credit and a fair cut of past and future royalties, reports TMZ.
    Post’s representatives have yet to respond to the lawsuit.
