    Sia Raps in Hilarious 'Tiger King' Parody

    The ‘Chandelier’ hitmaker pokes fun at Joe Exotic and Carole Baskin in a ‘Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness’ parody that’s set to Megan Thee Stallion’s song ‘Savage’.
    Apr 29, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Sia Furler is getting her claws into the “Tiger King” frenzy with a parody music video inspired by the hit Netflix docuseries.
    The 44-year-old “Cheap Thrills” singer dropped the one-minute rap on social media over the weekend, packed with references to feuding stars, incarcerated zoo keeper Joe Exotic and animal rights activist Carole Baskin.
    In the hilarious clip, the hitmaker wears an oversized hat, much like Joe’s own headpieces as she performed the parody to the tune of “Savage” by Megan Thee Stallion.
    Sia was joined by dancer Maddie Ziegler and stylist Tonya Brewer for the video, which she appropriately named “Joe Exotic (Diva Cut)”.
    The music video opened with the line “Joe Exotic breeds tigers and lions, chaotic,” before mentioning the tiger breeder’s bizarre obsession with arch-nemesis Carole Baskin – calling him “psychotic.”
    Later lyrics cover Joe’s relationships as well as his run for governor in Oklahoma, with the star remarking, “Turns people gay ‘cos he’s got it. Got the meth.”
    They added, “Prince Albert to please his two husbands? What’s up with him?”
    However, it’s all for a good cause as, in the caption to the video, Sia urged her fans to donate to The Humane Society, to help protect wildlife worldwide.
    The full clip is available to watch here.

    “Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness” topped Netflix’s viewing charts with an impressive combined audience of 64 million worldwide in its first month on the streaming platform. Several spin-offs, including a reported movie, a TV series starring “Saturday Night Live” star Kate McKinnon, and an Investigation Discovery channel sequel are all said to be in the works.

    Presenting her ‘uncle’ with the Distinguished Services Award at the ceremony, the ‘Chandelier’ hitmaker recalls how he inspired her to get into music when she was just 12 years old.
    Mar 2, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Sia Furler has paid a heartfelt tribute to Men At Work frontman Colin Hay at the Global APRA Music Awards in Los Angeles.
    The “Greatest” hitmaker referred to Colin as her “uncle” as she took the stage to present him with the Distinguished Services Award at the ceremony on Wednesday, February 26, as the 44-year-old revealed he inspired her to get into music when she was just 12 years old.
    “For those who don’t know, I was partially reared by Colin,” Sia said. “I can’t believe it. I have known you the longest in the room, you met me when I was a baby. And you were nice to me and you are always nice to me.”
    Sia’s father, blues guitarist Phil Colson, played in a band with Colin, and Sia once spent a month living with the star and his family at their New York home.
    During that time, the “Chandelier” hitmaker accompanied Colin to the Grammy Awards at the age of 12, and watched the ceremony unfold from the comfort of a limousine.
    “I remember seeing it and watching Uncle Collie go up and accept an award and I remember thinking, ‘This seems like a pretty good life. Let’s all do this’,” she recalled.
