    Everything NewsWorthy About Jennifer Lopez’s Album and Film— “This Is Me…Now”

    Jennifer Lopez waited until after Thanksgiving to let fans in on her new album and film titled, “This Is Me…Now.” The actress who will be working with Amazon MGM Studios has projects slated for next year.

    Jennifer Lopez’s This Is Me…Now Release Date

    This Is Me…Now is Jennifer Lopez’ album title, and the release date is February 16, 2023. It comes just in time — the Valentine’s Day season, reminding lovers about love. The album has amazing talents, including the mastermind, Lopez. Her team of organizers, writers, and producers are Rogét Chayed and Angel Lopez. INK, HitBoy, and Jeff “Gitty” Gitelman are working hand in hand with the singer.

    Fans have been assured of a fusion of different music genres like hip-hop, R&B, and modern pop tone. This album marks Lopez’s ninth studio album. It is a 13-track album with Brandon Riester as the album’s A&R.

    As per Variety,

    “This Is Me…Now” is Lopez’s first studio album in nearly a decade and celebrates the anniversary of its sister album, “This is Me…Then.”

    Jennifer Lopez Film

    Jennifer Lopez will bless fans with a short film and her album, This Is Me…Now. Dave Meyers will handle production. As expected, it will not fall short of its glory. The film will complement the album and will focus on her love life.

    In clear words, the actress’s film is “a narrative driven, intimate, reflective, sexy, funny, fantastical and highly entertaining musical and visual reimagining of her publicly scrutinized love life.”

    Jennifer Lopez’s album and film will have words that describe her romance with Ben Affleck. The Bennifer story will forever remain in the hearts of many. Affleck was able to redeem his lost love after marriage and fatherhood.

    Consequently, the This Is Me…Now track list publicized last year showed titles like Dear Ben Pt II. This means it is a follow-up of Dear Ben from the previous album, This is Me…Then.

    Lopez answers all the questions about being a lover girl in the film’s opening minutes, released on Monday. She said:

    “When I was a little girl, when someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, my answer was always… in love.”

  • Kanye West Moves To Buy Out Lil Durk From Alamo Records Following His First Stage Show With The Artist

    Kanye West Moves To Buy Out Lil Durk From Alamo Records Following His First Stage Show With The Artist

    Lil Durk’s Alamo Records contract has not expired, but Kanye West is moving to close on a new deal after their “Vultures” collab. Lil Durk and TY Dolla Sign joined the 46-year-old rapper to perform in Dubai.

    Kanye West, TY Dolla $ign and Lil Durk’s “Vultures” Collaboration

    One of Alamo Records’ finest artists, Lil Durk, was featured on Kanye West’s “Vultures.” The entertainers thrilled their Dubai fans with the new song at Blu Dubai nightclub. TY Dolla Sign and Bump J — the other feature artists, were part of the performance.

    TMZ reported that Kanye West intends to bring in Lil Durk as his own artist to work on an album. Before then, he talked with Todd Moscowitz, Alamo Records CEO, to release the rapper for another collaboration. However, the request was denied, and now, Kanye wants to take Lil Durk off the record label.

    Kanye West’s “Vultures” Performance Stirred Controversy

    While the new track titled Vultures might have given his Dubai audience the thrills, Kanye has received criticism from the US. The rapper who is most famous for his unapologetic anti-semitic remarks might have shaded the Jews in some way.

    Following a viral clip showing the Dubai performance, people in the US have called for him to be cancelled. This was because Kanye rapped to the song and said, “How I’m anti-semitic? I just [expletives] a Jewish bitch.”

    Businesswoman Tanya Zukerbort of Jewish roots fired at Kanye. She also attacked Chris Brown, who was spotted dancing to the song like everyone else.

    Tons of observers shared sentiments similar to Zuckerbrot’s. They shamed the rapper for being anti-semitic with his lyrics. While Kanye’s camp has kept mute, Chris Brown defended himself via an Instagram statement.

    The singer maintains that he will not be associated with anti-semitism while adding, “I’m pro-life, and I make music for the entire world. Chris Brown later warned the naysayers. ” Trying to be peaceful, but please do not wake up the demon in me,” he quipped.

    Chris Brown Joins Kanye West & TY Dolla Sign to Dance To Their New Allegedly Anti-Semitic “Vultures” Track — See What Fans Had To Say

    Chris Brown teamed up with Kanye West & TY Dolla Sign, who recently released the song “Vultures.” While this might have been a way to promote the tune among friends, fans online could not overlook the lyrics to what they have since termed anti-semitic.

    Kanye West & TY Dolla Sign Already-Tagged Antisemitic Song “Vultures”

    The 46-year-old rapper, who hosted a small group, jammed to his new release. A string of lines from Kanye West’s “Vultures” reads, “How I’m anti-semitic? I just [expletives] a Jewish bitch.” These words were excitedly repeated by Ye, who had Chris Brown, Ty Dolla Sign, and others listening and vibing to it.

    Fans Say Kanye West And Chris Brown’s Anti-semitic Move Is Unacceptable

    Those who have listened to the song and watched Chris Brown and Kanye West dance to it maintain that it is antisemitic. Tanya Zuckerbot, an entrepreneur of Jewish origin, felt attacked. She slammed the duo by writing via Instagram:

    “What’s more sickening? The lyrics … Or the fact that both Kanye West and @chrisbrownofficial find it hysterical?” Sick, masochistic, antisemitic f–ks.”

    Tanya Zuckerbot’s outcry influenced a host of critics who could not agree any less. One person mentioned that Chris Brown and Kanye West were not fit to continue their careers. The critics wanted the ultimate punishment conferred on them — cancel culture. The comment read:

    “Let the record industry chew on this. Let them never EVER work again.”

    Another commenter cited derogatory terms in describing the entertainers. The commenter cited their past issues hanging loosely around them. The fan quipped:

    “Chris brown an abuser and Kanye west a psychotic narcissistic self proclaimed mastermind.”

    On a general note, Kanye West and Chris Brown’s antisemitic moves have moved many to cancel them. The irate fans called it “sickening,” and “trash.”

    West is not known for apologizing for any anti-semitic remarks or moves in the past. He once mentioned that he was aware of his comments and had no intentions of taking back his words against the Jews.
    According to Page Six, Brown is not excluded either, as his controversy during his time with Rihanna — physical assault and other legal drama, has made many dislike him.

  • Billy Porter Bounces Back With “Black Mona Lisa” Album After Feeling Betrayed By His Former Label

    Billy Porter Bounces Back With “Black Mona Lisa” Album After Feeling Betrayed By His Former Label

    Pointing to Billy Porter’s Black Mona Lisa lyrics, fans may see him as the strongest person, but he once felt oppressed. The fashion trendsetter was not always confident in his music, especially when it was passed from him to one of the greatest artists of all time.

    Billy Porter Goes Back In Time

    The ‘Pose’ star is everything daring, but recently, he decided to show a side of him no one ever knew. In a discussion with Vulture, the A-list celebrity talked about the struggles of being a talented musician and a gay man.

    During his prime, homophobia was at its peak. Despite believing in his skill, it felt traumatizing knowing that he was not being accepted. According to Porter, the industry was hell-bent on straightening him out. They wanted him to accept a different narrative.

    Alongside the homophobia, Billy Porter had to deal with seeing his hard work stripped from him. The 1992 “Star Search” winner claimed his record label move crushed his sighting spirit.

    “Then my label gave my song to Céline Dion for The First Wives Club! They gave it right over to her! Same producer [Ric Wake] produced it for her. I was like, ‘I did not come here to be a demo singer for [expletive] Céline Dion! I’m done!’”

    Porter sighted the soundtrack in the 1996 film First Wives Club, which also made it into Celine Dion’s Let’s Talk About Love album. The 54-year-old emphasized that his anger was not with the Grammy winner but with the industry that tried to define him.

    Billy Porter Returns Into The Music Business With Black Mona Lisa

    The fashion maven did not plan on returning to music, but after years of pursuing his other passions, he has circled back to his first love — R&B.

    Billy Porter teamed up with Grammy winner Justin Tranter to produce his Black Mona Lisa album. Per a press release, he told the public it was time to celebrate his self-worth and share his liberation story. The singer believes that values such as self-confidence come from self-affirmation.

    Before Black Mona Lisa touched down, Porter hit the road with The Black Mona Lisa Tour: Volume 1, where he visited 25 cities in the country.

  • Shakira Admits To Tax Fraud Years After Claiming Innocent

    Shakira Admits To Tax Fraud Years After Claiming Innocent

    Shakira and her tax fraud prosecutors have now reached a new arrangement, and none includes her entering jail. The singer, who has long since maintained her innocence, bowed to pressure and the risk of losing her freedom.

    Shakira’s Tax Fraud Settlement Reached

    The Hips Don’t Lie singer might not have stated the truth in the nearly five-year tax fraud case. However, The Hollywood Reporter claimed she and the prosecutor reached a last-minute deal. Just hours after the trial for her tax evasion began in Barcelona, she acknowledged all accusations levied on her.

    It was stated that Shakira owned up to cheating the Spanish government by failing to submit $15.8 million in taxes. This figure was rounded up between 2012 and 2014.

    If she had persisted and continued the trial set to last for weeks with an army of witnesses on the prosecutor’s end, it would have included a jail term.

    This means that the singer decided to dance to the tune of the prosecutor and must fulfill the terms of the agreement. Her deal involved avoiding a 3-year jail sentence and payment of fines, including $ 8 million for taxes and $472,000 as settlement for the prison sentence.

    Despite the prison escape, Shakira’s legal records will contain tax fraud. Consequently, it could influence another tax lawsuit.

    Shakira’s Tax Fraud Defense Was Denied

    Shakira’s tax fraud began when the other side of the camp criticized her for not paying up despite living mainly in Spain. It did not matter that her official residence was in the Bahamas; prosecutors expected her to pay on her worldwide income.

    After years of back and forth, the prosecutors considered an eight-year prison sentence and about $26 million in taxes. Before reaching this conclusion, they wanted to settle out of court, but Shakira was hell-bent on proving her innocence.

    She intended to establish that she owed nothing as she was primarily based in the US. But last year, her appeal was denied. The Spanish government hopes to resume another case involving tax evasion on Shakira’s 2018 income.

  • Kesha Takes Off Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs off Her TikTok Song Lyrics

    Kesha Takes Off Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs off Her TikTok Song Lyrics

    For the TikTok crooner, the court does not have to decide if Sean Diddy Combs is guilty or not in Cassie’s lawsuit; Kesha just doesn’t want to associate with him for now. The pop star who recently performed her hit track TikTok omitted Diddy’s name from her song.

    Kesha Name Drops Diddy in TikTok

    On Saturday, the atmosphere in Hollywood Palladium reeked of electrifying vibes from Kesha and her performers. While on stage, the singer traveled more than ten years to tap on her breakout song. Kesha’s TikTok, aka her debut track, could be heard reverberating in the atmosphere as she danced to the music.

    Meanwhile, Kesha already changed the past — by modifying the lyrics of her song. The first few lines of the original song were:

    “Wake up in the morning feelin’ like P.Diddy.”

    Following her modification, she sang:

    “Wake up in the morning feelin’ just like me.”

    The singer’s omission comes days after Cassie, who dated Sean Diddy Combs for a decade, slammed the rapper with a sexual assault lawsuit. USA Today made attempts to reach Kesha, but she remains lip-locked following her stunt.

    Cassie Pulls Out An Abuse Lawsuit On Sean Diddy Combs

    Speaking of stunts, Cassie surprised everyone when she dragged her ex-lover to court. The Me & U singer claimed via her legal documents that Diddy was abusive emotionally, physically, and mentally. Allegedly, he was violent with her, drugged, and forced her to sleep with male prostitutes. According to Cassie, this happened in different states across the US.

    In the bombshell lawsuit, it was discovered that Diddy might have been a threat to her life. She recounted how he dominated her because of how young and naive she must have seemed. At the same time, she claimed that it was almost impossible to get away. In her words, Diddy threatened to blow up Kid Cudi’s car after she moved on with him following their split in 2012. Shortly after the threat, Cudi’s car went up in smoke.

    What many expected to be a high-profile case turned out to be a short episode. Hours after Cassie’s filing, the defendant accused her of being a fraud whose blackmail had failed. But before any more news could fly, the pair considered settling out of court.

  • André 3000’s New Song “New Blue Sun” Will Launch His Daring Solo Album After 17 Years

    André 3000’s New Song “New Blue Sun” Will Launch His Daring Solo Album After 17 Years

    Fans and lovers of André 3000, there’s new music set to be released this Friday, November 17, which is an 87-minute mind-boggling, ineffable, sparse, and innovative experience. His new sound and music promise to be daring. His songs have been in high demand, especially from his fans. There was a time in his musical journey when his fans were concerned about him.

    He grew sporadically, topping every chart with the group

    “OutKast,”

    One of the best hip-hop duos of all time. Years later, he took off his creative hat, grieving the loss of three important people in his life (his parents and stepdad).

    No one knew what he was up to unless there were days when he made discreet yet random appearances on social media sites, wandering around with his flute, finding himself. His fans try to keep up with him, sometimes against his wish, but he doesn’t let all that bother him. He said,

    “I laugh at it because my homies in Atlanta, we’ll talk and they’ll be like, ‘Man, you know n***** think you crazy to f*** around with this flute.’”

    This is a rap record; however, it lacks bars, beats, and sub-bass. André just plays the flute in this new song, which includes Contrabass flute, Mayan flute, bamboo flute, alongside digital wind instruments. He’s serving his fans provocative titles instead of lyrics, with the beginning seeming to look like an ironic apology:

    “I swear, I Really Wanted To Make A ‘Rap’ Album But This Is Literally The Way The Wind Blew Me This Time.”

    André has set a high standard for himself. With the standard placed before him, he hadn’t put out music in a long time. This may have resulted in him carefully thinking about the kind of music that speaks to one in a creative way, as an artist would want his/her songs to communicate to the listeners, leaving him to avoid releasing any piece for years.

    André has mastered rap’s rigidity. He continues to push beyond limits with his melodic rhymes and styles that gave him accolades and a mass following.

    “New Blue Sun”

    Is destined to set André on a new tone, making him feel like his time is now. It seems that L.A. is the city meant for him, as everything came to him organically from New York. André and Nino hung out an insanely amount of time in the basement.

    The result is simple but challenging. Mainly because it flies in the face of everything we know, selfishly demanding attention from André 3000 fans. Yet, somehow, the purely instrumental New Blue Sun

    Exposes his unrefined soul and the delicate nature of his creative process in ways that the wordsmith’s fine-tuned verses tend to conceal.

  • Fans Say Lola Brooke’s Album Party Was Interrupted By A Pepper Spray Incident

    Fans Say Lola Brooke’s Album Party Was Interrupted By A Pepper Spray Incident

    In anticipation of her new album, the Brooklyn rapper Lola Brooke hosted an album party. She chose Soho in NYC as the venue to serenade fans with her impressive art, but something went wrong.

    Fans Recount How Lola Brooke’s Album Party Ended

    While some fans would have been very excited to see their best rapper, Lola Brooke, a handful of them claimed there was an unsavory incident at the party.

    What began as a captivating atmosphere soon turned into one filled with discomfort — literally. Sources mentioned that pepper spray was released into the air.

    According to Page Six, one fan recounted:

    “I was partying in the back having a good time and all of a sudden I could not breathe. My throat started to burn and my eyes teared up.”

    Another person chimed in:

    “I think too many people were trying to get to close to her in her VIP section so the situation had to be handled with mace.”

    A third person shared:

    “I could not breathe, and had to leave, I could not take it. I honestly don’t know where it came from. One minute everyone was drinking and vibing to her music, the next minute people were coughing, choking and gasping for air. Everybody except Lola though.”

    Consequently, following the accounts of attendees at Lola Brooke’s album party, the pepper spray was to ease up the crowd that came too close for comfort. In the end, it worked, as many fans added that people left the VIP section hoarding the Bed Stuy rapper.

    Her audience was divided. While some stepped out to the restroom to clear their eyes, others bolted out of the venue.

    Response From The Rapper’s Team

    Although Page Six contacted Lola Brooke’s team regarding the album party rumors, they maintained innocence, adding:

    “We were unaware of that incident.”

    It is unlikely that fans will share similar stories if there is no truth to it. But there is no conclusion to the story yet. However, it has been confirmed that Lola Brooke was in the company of her bodyguards at the event.
