  • Billie Eilish Shuns Variety After They Made News Out of Her Coming Out

    Billie Eilish Shuns Variety After They Made News Out of Her Coming Out

    Billie Eilish wants Variety to leave her “LGBTQ” stand, get on another topic and leave her alone. The singer ended her weekend by sending a warning to the media outlet. However, she did not forget to remind her fans to continue streaming her music.

    Billie Eilish Says She is Scared of Women in an Interview

    According to TMZ, Billie Eilish made a smooth confession while speaking to Tiana DeNicola from Variety. During her attendance at an event hosted by the outlet, the singer reflected on an earlier interview.

    DeNicola referenced a previous interview done with the outlet and asked if she wanted to put forth her sexuality. The interviewer reiterated that Eilish admitted that women didn’t like her. Despite feeling somewhat awkward, the singer maintained her stance. However, she echoed that she sees women as pretty.

    Billie Eilish May Be LGBTQ, But She Wants Variety To Move On

    Billie Eilish‘s stand with the LGBTQ community isn’t newsworthy, she tells Variety. Even though she gave out the information freely to DeNicola, the singer feels she was coerced.

    She began the new week by sharing a montage of snaps that detailed her engagements for that day. Eilish, who had attended Variety Sunday Brunch, shocked fans by framing her post with an image showing her pants down. On the blue jeans was an eye-popping belt detailing two female structures terraced above her pink underwear. Meanwhile, the singer rocked a pair of black kicks.

    Other slides centred on her gangster-like attire worn for the Variety Brunch the day before. Eilish followed up with a cry for freedom directed at Variety. Via the caption, she quipped:

    “thanks variety for my award and for also outing me on a red carpet at 11 am instead of talking about anything else that matters i like boys and girls leave me alone about it please literally who cares.”

  • T.I Threatens Elleven45 Lounge After The Establishment Cited His Fight With Son King on Flyer

    T.I Threatens Elleven45 Lounge After The Establishment Cited His Fight With Son King on Flyer

    Elleven45 Lounge tried moving funny, but T.I. did not buy. It seems puzzling that the club did not get the memo after the feud between father and son. They tried to make an episode of it but instead pissed off their scheduled performer, T.I.

    Elleven45 Poked Fun At T.I. and Son

    T.I. and son were scheduled to show up for the R&B night in Atlanta’s Elleven45 Lounge. Their call time was for Wednesday — three days after the duo’s feud.

    To pique the interest of fans, Elleven45 Lounge created flyers that blended in stories of the fight. The first one showed an enraged dad grabbing his son’s neck. They were animated creations of the duo.
    Later, the lounge changed it to a real-life image of T.I. tugging at King’s locks. The date, event, and venue followed at the bottom of the flyer.

    Once it reached T.I., the doting dad made his way to the lounge to set things straight. TMZ obtained a clip showing the rapper threatening to boycott the event. At the same time, he angrily reprimanded them, adding that he would shut down the club.

    T.I. asked Elleven 45 Lounge to change the flyer while maintaining that he stands on business in Atlanta city. This meant that the city operated by his rules. Eventually, T.I. and his son showed up for their performance after the club retracted their initial flyer.

    The Inside Story of T.I & Son, King’s Fight

    The seasoned rapper was present at the 50th anniversary of the hip-hop celebration organized by the Atlanta Falcons. Once he delivered an electrifying performance, T.I. retired to his luxury suite at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium. There, T.I. and Tiny’s son, King, confronted his parents about his background.

    The youngster claimed to be more gangster than his dad, chiming in, “I stand on business.” King explained that he even dealt with roaches as a child with famous parents. To this, Tiny clarified things, adding that her son often left their mansion for Granny’s. She explained that he wanted to suck on his pacifier undisturbed, even as a 12-year-old.

    .I. emphasized that his 19-year-old was not in the trap life like he thought. However, things escalated with the rapper physically restricting his son, who finally begged.

  • From Standing Ovations to Flying Objects: The Bizarre Evolution of Concert Souvenirs, Including Artists Dodging Objects On Stage

    From Standing Ovations to Flying Objects: The Bizarre Evolution of Concert Souvenirs, Including Artists Dodging Objects On Stage

    Is it weird that audiences who will die to watch their favourite star perform end up throwing stuff on stage? In recent times, artists have been hit with items during their performances. Expectedly, it should stir concern as it has fast become a trend. So it comes as no surprise that Grammy winner Adele touched on the issue.

    Adele Says People May Have Lost Their Manners

    The “Hello” singer did not mince her words during her show at The Colosseum in Las Vegas. Following her performance, the Grammy winner singled out a pressing issue.

    As per People, she said:

    “Have you noticed how people are forgetting [expletives] show etiquette at the moment. People are throwing s— on stage. Have you seen that?: I [expletives] dare you — I dare you to throw something at me. I’ll [expletives] kill you.”

    This comes after a string of entertainers were hit on different occasions while on stage. The list ranges from Ava Max, Bebe Rexha, Kelsea Ballerina, Sexxy Red, Air Lennox, and even Drake! Yes, that’s right, Drake.

    A Host Of Entertainers That Their Audience Threw Stuff At On Stage: Sexxy Red In Chicago

    Audiences who throw stuff at performers on stage have received different reactions. Some celebrities decided to walk away, others addressed it, and for some, it nearly turned into a boxing contest.

    In June, Sexxy Red made XXL headlines for leaving the stage during her Chicago performance at the Lyrical Lemonade’s 2023 Summer Smash Festival. The 25-year-old first warned her audience, before making it for the exit.

    Bebe Rexha Got Hit In the Eye and Needed Medical Attention

    One of Bebe Rexha’s family members told Rolling Stone that the singer was left in stitches in June. This happened after a 27-year-old male from the audience threw a cell phone at her on stage during her NYC concert.

    After his arrest, his defence was:

    “I was trying to see if I could hit her with the phone at the end of the show because it would be funny.”

    Sadly, it was not funny, leaving Rexha with a red eye. In the end, the assailant was charged with two counts of assault.

    Drake Gets Underwear, Books, Shoes and Cellphones— It’s An Entire Ladies’ Store!

    Drake, who was recently thrown a book during his “It’s All Blur” Tour, has found it challenging to avoid the scenery. In July, a woman threw a 36L bra as a souvenir. The following month, a TikToker celebrated her body transformation by throwing her oversized underwear at Drake.

    According to UNILAD, Stephanie Valentine was star-struck when the rapper picked up her underwear, which landed on stage. She later shared how confident she has become since the weight loss. Surprisingly, Valentine got the cheers and “awws” from commenters on TikTok.

    Drake’s reaction following his audience throwing stuff on stage has been hilarious. The rapper has had to strike a deal with fans. At his Detroit concert, he was serenaded with tons of underwear from fans. Much later, they began throwing shoes and phones. This led the God’s Plan crooner to appeal to them to throw just underwear.

    As per Marca, Drake took out time to clean up the stage while he quipped

    “I feel like I’m on cleanup duty.”

    Air Lennox Wanted To Face Her Hit-Man Who Threw Stuff At Her From The Audience

    Just this week, singer Air Lennox received the same treatment, but a fan tossed a water bottle this time. However, the artist refused to bargain; instead, she fished out the perpetrator and wanted to begin a fight. Thankfully, her bodyguard led her away from the scene.

  • Ari Lennox Barely Spared Fan Who Threw A Water Bottle At Her While On Stage

    Ari Lennox Barely Spared Fan Who Threw A Water Bottle At Her While On Stage

    Ari Lennox was ready for a smackdown after a water bottle hit her. The entertainer who climbed up the stage to support Rod Wave’s Nostalgia tour immediately addressed the situation. Fortunately, there was no faceoff between her and the fan, all thanks to her team.

    Ari Lennox Stops Performance Over Water Bottle Incident Involving Daring Fan

    Nostalgia Tour was supposed to be a show with Rod Wave and co dishing out uninterrupted and energetic performances. But a fan might have read the memo wrong. This person targeted Ari Lennox by throwing a water bottle at her.

    Ari Lennox, who felt the distraction hit her arm, ruffled up her audience while addressing the issue with belligerence. The infuriated singer claimed that she is more than the glamour and bling, adding that she could fight for her honour.

    Luckily for Ari Lennox, she was able to identify the fan. But her bodyguard swiftly led her away from the incident before any damage was done.

    TMZ says that news about the perpetrator remains vague. Whether the person was allowed to remain in the venue or ushered out is uncertain.

    Similar Incidents Among Other Celebrities

    Ari Lennox is not the only one who has been dissed by fans while on stage. In fact, someone close to Ari’s boss fell victim recently. Drake, who is working hand in hand with J. Cole for his It’s All a Blur tour, caught a book during his performance. The fan had thrown it as the rapper stood before the audience.

    Lewis Capaldi is also in this category. The singer received many items during his Europe tour a few months ago. All were thrown at him on stage. At some point, a fan threw a bra and another, granny underwear.

  • Boosie BadAzz Gears Up For Lawsuits Against Artists Who Have Sampled His Songs — See His Reaction To Rod Wave

    Boosie BadAzz Gears Up For Lawsuits Against Artists Who Have Sampled His Songs — See His Reaction To Rod Wave

    Maybe Boosie BadAzz is not a gangster after all; following his internet exchange with Rod Wave, he threatens to sue. There is a list, and he explained that his attorneys are advising him on the best steps to take.

    Boosie BadAzz’s Music Is Being Sampled

    On November 19, Boosie BadAzz called out Rod Wave via a tweet. The rapper ranted about how Wave crossed the line by sampling his Long Journey track. He maintained that Wave would never do that to a significant record label without compensation.

    As reported by Complex, Boosie BadAzz clarified that Wave was never a victim; rather, he took advantage of their closeness. He added that the younger rapper would never sample songs of iconic artists for free.

    Wave was not the only artist who Boosie BadAzz tongue-lashed. A few hours before he tweeted at Wave, BadAzz tackled Kodak Black. He accused the rapper of sampling his Let Me Ease Your Mind track from his 2008 Lil Boosiena Pt II track.

    Unlike his attack on Wave, BadAzz added a clip from Kodak’s Eaze Your Mind track before writing online,

    “EVEN THO WE FELL OUT WE COULDA DID FAIR BUIZNESS.”

    A few hours later, Rod Wave reacted to the tweet; in a clip, he said

    “Man, you ain’t gotta sue no n***a like me, man. I’ma pull up and make sure you straight.”

    Boosie BadAzz To Sue Rod Wave For Failing To Meet Up With Agreement

    Recent reports from XXL reveal that Rod Wave is yet to pull up on Boosie Badazz as promised. On Tuesday, Boosie updated his fans via social media, promising to take legal steps about the issue.

    In the clip, Boosie disclosed that Rod is avoiding him because, legally, he’s privileged to a percentage of the song, publishing rights, and writer’s credit. Due to this development, he’s more than ready to drag the case to court. Boosie BadAzz further claimed that Rod Wave’s team is calling him for settlement, but it’s too late now.

    Nigerian Singer Rema Will Not Be Fulfilling his Initial Promise To Fans This December, Cites Health Reasons

    Due to health concerns, Rema’s December shows will no longer be a reality for fans who can not wait to see the singer this Yuletide. But there is something more serious than not seeing their favourite star perform.

    Rema’s Health Concerns Force Him To ‘Calm Down’ On His Shows This December

    Rema shared the heartbreaking news to fans that he would not have December shows. However, he left them with another promise and worry. The 23-year-old confessed that he needed to slow down the brakes. On Wednesday, he took to Instagram with the message.

    “I need time to recuperate. 2024 we go again,” he said.

    Even though it is an important rest for the singer, he shared his disappointment with fans. He added that the news “breaks [his] heart.” Rema’s December show cities included South Africa, Lagos, Abuja and Benin.

    Rema Has Had an Eventful Year

    Amid the health concerns and the December show cancellation, Rema has made big moves this year. He became a global sensation following the release of his Calm Down song, which eventually featured Selena Gomez.

    Rema’s glory days have included his songs topping music charts and setting records. He also received his first Billboard Music Award. More recently, the Calm Down lyricist performed at the 02 arena in front of over 10,000 guests.

    During this period, Rema represented his roots. The singer talked about the indigenous bronze of the Benin people of Nigeria carted away in the 19th century. Since then, these priceless artefacts have remained in the English museum.

    While Rema did not make an attempt to reclaim it, he made a remarkable attempt to share the history online.

    “My ancestors’ bronzes sit in the museum of this very city so I remade mine,” he chimed, referring to the visuals and effects entertained at his London concert.”

    Lenny Kravitz Knew Nicolas Cage During High School When His Name Was ‘Nic Coppola’

    Lenny Kravitz gets candid about his high school experience, recalling celebrities who attended his school as kids, including Nicolas Cage.

    Lenny Kravitz Revealed Nicolas Cage Changed His Name

    Kravitz had famous people in his school. Only at the time, they were kids interested in arts. During an honest time with Esquire, the entertainer talked about having Gina Gershon, Saul Hudson, aka Slash, and Nicolas Cage.

    As a teenager, Cage’s name was Nic Coppola, and he had a knack for acting. Lenny Kravitz claimed that they both worked on a school play. It was titled Richard Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein II’s Oklahoma.

    In his words:

    “I was in the orchestra and Nic was on stage… He was singing and dancing and acting and I was playing drums. It was a good time.”

    After leaving high school, Cage pursued his acting career. In no time, he landed a role in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Even though it was a minor role, the actor preserved, he ended up becoming a household name. On top of that, he has racked up numerous awards, including an Oscar.

    The story behind his name change is that he did not want to be associated with his filmmaker uncle, Francis Ford Coppola.

    Like Cage, Gershon has recorded remarkable feats too. Her features include Bound and Showgirls, among others.

    Meanwhile, Slash has remained close to Kravitz. The lead guitarist of Guns N’ Roses has shared the stage with Kravitz. They also teamed up for a song in Lenny Kravitz’s Mama Said album.

    Who is Lenny Kravitz, and What About His Blue Electric Lights Album?

    Lenny Kravitz is a native of New York. He grew up in a household with superstars. His mom was an actress, while his dad was a TV news producer. Before becoming a teenager, he learned several instruments, which set him up for stardom.

    The star has remained strong in the game. Lenny Kravitz is already planning to thrill fans with an album set to debut in March 2024. The title is Blue Electric Lights. This album comes five years after his Raise Vibration album.

    This Is Not Public Information: Busta Rhymes Claims Benzino Should Have Reached Out Privately Over “Luxury Life” Video Issue With Coi Leray

    Benzino may be a former rapper, but recently, he spit fire on a famous emcee, Busta Rhymes, for working on “Luxury Life” video with his daughter. It’s not like the former rapper had a rap battle with Busta Rhymes, but he seems to have Busta in a black book over a video with Coi Leray, his daughter.

    Busta Rhymes & Coi Leray “Luxury Life”

    The iconic rapper Busta Rhymes teamed up with the budding star Coi Leray for his “Luxury Life” song. This is one of the tracks that will feature in his Blockbuster album. While fans may expect nothing but the best from the duo, the collaboration has left someone hurt and disrespected.

    Following the release of the video, as per The Source, Benzino, Coi Leray’s dad, has attacked Busta Rhymes. The retired rapper did not meet physically with Busta Rhymes, but he expressed his issues with the “Touch It” rapper online.

    https://twitter.com/1more4thegain/status/1723771882573275544

    Will There Be a Benzino & Busta Rhymes Feud?

    Benzino took to Instagram to lash out at Busta Rhymes and Coi Leray. His issue with the iconic rapper was that he did not contact him during the collaboration with Coi.

    Benzino expressed distaste for the Luxury Life video, adding that Busta Rhymes did not reach out to him. This is because he believes Coi Leray was half-naked in the production.

    He chimed in:

    “The whole Busta Rhymes collaboration, he should have reached out to me,” Benzino said. “You don’t do no video with my daughter half-naked. You a grown ass fucking man. He should have reached out to me and said something.”

    Amid airing his grievance with Busta Rhymes, Benzino took a subtle jab at his daughter. In a sarcastic tone, he levied blame on Coi Leray’s adulthood. To Benzino, it makes him feel she is above his opinions or advice.

    In his words:

    “But it is what is. She’s grown, she can do what she want. But I wasn’t with that. All I can do is have my opinions from afar. Once they reach a certain age, it doesn’t matter what I think.”

    Benzino’s remarks come a few weeks after Coi Leray blasted her dad in an interview for being jealous of her success. Without any hesitation, the former rapper reacted to the statement. He slammed the interviewer for hating him while entirely disagreeing with his daughter’s take. Benzino found it ridiculous, maintaining that he nurtured and cared for Coi Leray and her brothers.

  • Family Over Everything: TI Reacts After ‘Nepo Baby’ Altercation With Son, King, At Atlanta Falcons Game

    Family Over Everything: TI Reacts After ‘Nepo Baby’ Altercation With Son, King, At Atlanta Falcons Game

    Right after making a grand entrance at the Atlanta Falcons’ celebration, TI had an altercation with his son, King. What fans did not expect was for it to become a physical episode. Still, the rapper somehow rained support for his 19-year-old.

    TI’s Atlanta Falcons Game Performance

    TI rang in with support for the Atlanta Falcons during the team’s 50th anniversary of hip-hop celebration. The rapper put on a breathtaking show with one of his classics. For the performance, TI donned a white beanie angled specifically for his dreadlocks to show. He also dressed in the team’s number 34 inscribed jersey, white sleeve shirt, and matching colored bottom.

    The atmosphere was dimly lit — foggy, and red beams flashed; however, some players were seen in the background.

    The Altercation Between Father and Son — TI and King

    TI had his cheerleaders and family close by, and following the Falcon Games performance, he went to his suite. What should have been a peaceful rest turned out to be a fight between TI and King.

    According to TMZ, initially, the pair kicked things off by playing lightly and throwing jabs at each other. However, things escalated rather quickly. Fans could hear King who was live on Instagram. The young adult narrowed his story to the hardships he faced as a child. King mentioned living with roaches and bugs. But this did not attract any sympathy from TI or Tiny as they denied his claims. Instead, his parents talked about how childish he acted by running off to granny’s to suck on a pacifier.

    This did not go down with King, who began screaming his lungs out, and TI did not have any of it, which led to the fight. The rapper clamped down on his son while issuing a warning and explaining that the situation was embarrassing.

    Eventually, King begged to be released, and his dad accepted. But TI already proved a point — alerting his son that he called the shot.

    TI Believes It Is Family Over Everything

    No matter how bad the altercation between TI, King, or any family member gets, the rapper is committed to his own. In the episode that has left some fans berating King, the doting father has since come to the rescue.

    He maintained that his family shares a close bond irrespective of what the internet says. In his post shared by its_onsite on Instagram, he added, “Ima RIDE to da heavens of da depths of HELL bout my Jr. & ain’t nothing gon change that.”

    In the same post, the father and son could be seen exchanging a pleasant conversation about King’s crystal white teeth.
