<br /> <br />
<br /> Takeoff showed the tattoo via his Instagram with a short caption that read, “Love you 4L & after” and closed with a rocket, heart, and dove emojis.</p> <p>
<br /> <br />
<br /> Together with Quavo, the three were known as the popular Atlanta rap trio Migos. <a href="https://www.complex.com/music/a/complex/takeoff-dead-at-28-video-post" target="_self" rel="noopener">News</a> broke on November 1 that Takeoff was killed at a bowling alley in Houston. At the time, the group had been disbanded, but the fact that the three were related seemed to bring about a truce in light of Takeoff’s passing between Quavo and Offset.<br />
<br /> <br />
<br /> There was a tribute during the 2023 Grammy Awards, led by Quavo, in which the artist gave a stirring and emotional tribute to Takeoff. During the performance, Quavo held Takeoff’s chain and held it to the sky as the audience cheered.<br />
<br /> <br />
<br /> Takeoff was 28.<br />

He also touched on more tabloid-y matters, as well as a recent controversy spurred by the live captioning that appeared during his unforgettably brilliant ceremony-opening performance at the 2023 Grammys.</p> <p>As viewers will recall, subtitles were displayed during the performance that read “singing in non-english” and “speaking in non-english.” This move was <a target="_blank" href="https://www.complex.com/music/50-cent-slams-grammy-not-using-subtitles-bad-bunny-performance" rel="noopener">widely criticized by fans and fellow artists alike</a>, with <a target="_blank" href="http://complex.com/tag/50-cent" rel="noopener">50 Cent</a> among those who were quick to slam the handling of Bunny’s performance.</p> <p>“In reality when I saw it…it didn’t capture the message. It didn’t say ‘in Spanish’… <em>como que</em> (like) ‘non-english’… well, the system doesn’t work,” Bunny <a target="_blank" href="https://time.com/6266336/bad-bunny-interview-coachella/" rel="noopener">said when asked about the incident</a>, per Andrew R. Chow and Mariah Espada. “It was <em>porqueria</em> (crap), that’s the only way I could put it.”</p> <p>As for the performance itself, Bad Bunny revealed that he actually didn’t know he was going to open the ceremony in February until the last second. By his estimation, the show’s producers saw a version of his performance and thought “let’s put him as the first act.”</p> <section class="suitcase-ad" /> <section class="suitcase-ad" /> <p>The new <em>Time</em> cover is not the first instance of Bad Bunny having made history. In fact, it’s far from it. His 2020 album <em>El Último Tour Del Mundo</em>, for example, became the first all-Spanish album to hit the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart upon its release in 2020.</p> <p>Next up for Bad Bunny on his continued journey as quite inarguably the biggest artist on the planet is a pair of headlining sets as part of <a target="_blank" href="http://complex.com/tag/coachella" rel="noopener">this year’s Coachella lineup</a>.

As the pop star took the stage to accept the award, cameras captured <a target="_blank" href="https://www.complex.com/tag/diplo" rel="noopener">Diplo</a> yelling a few words to a person seated next to him. Some internet lip readers believed the producer said something to the effect of, “They bought that.”</p> <p>However, Diplo has denied throwing any shade at Beyoncé. The producer, who previously clarified that what he actually said was, “I’m glad to be part of this,” recently DM’d Instagram account Hollywood Unlocked to further explain why he was not dissing Bey.</p> <p>“You know I didn’t say that lol,” Diplo said regarding the aforementioned rumor, before sharing an official statement that sheds light on his respect for Beyoncé.</p> <p>“Beyoncé[’s] album was legendary (I’m a Beyoncé stan. Remember I produced some classic dance songs for her, like ’Til the End of Time’ and ‘Girls Run the World’),” he said in an official statement to Hollywood Unlocked. “What’s important to understand was that her intention was 100 percent. She did the work, found the real producers, and she made classics. So, she deserves her flowers, and when she won, I was just proud to see my nomination on the screen in the huge arena.”</p> <section class="suitcase-ad" /> <p>“Dance music has and will be the most Inclusive music of our generation,” Diplo added. “Our community has always been gay / straight, but icy , poor.. white black brown purple .. it’s the music that had united the world during my lifetime and i’m glad to just be one part of it.”</p> </div> <p><br /> <br /><a href="https://www.complex.com/music/diplo-denies-throwing-shade-at-beyonce-grammys">Source link </a></p> <p> <a rel="follow" href="http://megatheme.ir/" title="قالب وردپرس">قالب وردپرس</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://freshestfm.com/diplo-addresses-speculation-he-threw-shade-at-beyonce-during-grammys/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Spike Lee Calls Out Grammys for Not Awarding Beyoncé Album of the Year</title> <link>https://freshestfm.com/spike-lee-calls-out-grammys-for-not-awarding-beyonce-album-of-the-year/</link> <comments>https://freshestfm.com/spike-lee-calls-out-grammys-for-not-awarding-beyonce-album-of-the-year/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[SOURCE]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 16 Feb 2023 15:46:23 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[album-of-the-year]]></category> <category><![CDATA[beyonce]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-entertainment]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-entertainment-movies]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-music]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-music-other]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Featured]]></category> <category><![CDATA[grammys]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Music]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[spike-lee]]></category> <category><![CDATA[tier-one]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://freshestfm.com/spike-lee-calls-out-grammys-for-not-awarding-beyonce-album-of-the-year/</guid> <description><![CDATA[Spike Lee has spoken out against the Grammys and criticized them for once again not awarding Beyoncé Album of the Year despite her history-making wins at the 65th annual awards this year.

I know she’s won multiple Grammys, but four times nominated for album of the year and she’s lost every time? No disrespect to those artists like Adele or Harry Styles who won. It’s not their fault, but that’s some straight-up bullshit.”</p> <p>After winning four Grammys at the 2023 awards, Beyoncé made history as the most awarded artist in the award show’s 65-year history. However, she’s never taken home album of the year despite having been nominated numerous times. Her seminal sixth album <em>Lemonade</em> lost out to Adele’s <em>25</em>, and her 2010 project <em>I Am…Sasha Fierce</em> was beaten out by Taylor Swift’s <em>Fearless. </em>At this year’s awards, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.complex.com/music/jay-z-beyonce-renaissance-album-of-the-year-grammys" rel="noopener">Harry Styles took home Album Of The Year for <em>Harry’s House.</em></a></p> <section class="suitcase-ad" /> <p>“There’s a history of great Black artists who come up for these awards and don’t win,” Lee added. “We all know their work is great because art speaks for itself. But then it always comes down to this tricky territory of validation. Do Black artists say: ‘Fuck it’ – or seek white validation and chase awards? I just want to give a shoutout to my sister Beyoncé. We know what the deal is. It’s straight-up shenanigans, skulduggery, subterfuge. Or as the British say: it’s some poppycock!”</p> <p>Beyoncé had tied Georg Solti’s record 31 wins after winning Best R&B Song for her <a target="_blank" href="http://complex.com/tag/renaissance" rel="noopener"><em>Renaissance</em></a> track “CUFF IT,” but she was soon declared victorious in the Best Dance/Electronic Album category, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.complex.com/music/beyonce-most-wins-grammys-history" rel="noopener">which brought her career wins total to 32</a>.</p> <p>“I’m trying not to be too emotional and I’m trying to just receive this night,” she said when taking the stage to accept the latter award, adding at the end, “I’d like to thank the queer community for your love and for inventing this genre.”</p> </div> <p><br /> <br /><a href="https://www.complex.com/pop-culture/spike-lee-blasts-grammys-for-not-awarding-beyonce-album-of-the-year">Source link </a></p> <p> <a rel="follow" href="http://megatheme.ir/" title="قالب وردپرس">قالب وردپرس</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://freshestfm.com/spike-lee-calls-out-grammys-for-not-awarding-beyonce-album-of-the-year/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Robert Glasper T-Shirt Inspired by Chris Brown’s Grammys Remarks Sells Out</title> <link>https://freshestfm.com/robert-glasper-t-shirt-inspired-by-chris-browns-grammys-remarks-sells-out/</link> <comments>https://freshestfm.com/robert-glasper-t-shirt-inspired-by-chris-browns-grammys-remarks-sells-out/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[SOURCE]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Tue, 14 Feb 2023 16:57:13 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[award-shows]]></category> <category><![CDATA[charity]]></category> <category><![CDATA[chris-brown]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-entertainment]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-entertainment-tv]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-music]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-music-other]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Featured]]></category> <category><![CDATA[grammys]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Music]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[robert-glasper]]></category> <category><![CDATA[t-shirts]]></category> <category><![CDATA[tier-one]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://freshestfm.com/robert-glasper-t-shirt-inspired-by-chris-browns-grammys-remarks-sells-out/</guid> <description><![CDATA[Robert Glasper’s well-played response to Chris Brown’s attempted questioning of his Grammys victory has resulted in a sold-out t-shirt design.

Glasper, of course, took home the award that evening for his acclaimed 2022 album <em>Black Radio III</em>. Brown, meanwhile, was up for the same award with his <em>Breezy (Deluxe)</em> album.</p> <p>Brown later apologized and shared a screenshot of a message he sent to Glasper. In it, he congratulated Glasper while also <a target="_blank" href="https://www.complex.com/music/chris-brown-apologizes-to-robert-glasper" rel="noopener">redirecting his prior criticism toward the Recording Academy</a>.</p> <p>On Monday, Glasper alerted fans to the fact that the resulting t-shirt had sold out.</p> <p>“Thanks for the support,” he <a target="_blank" href="https://www.instagram.com/p/ConcCJUOK7x/" rel="noopener">said</a> in an IG update. “A portion of the proceeds from this shirt will be donated to the Community Music Center of New Orleans. A nonprofit created to share the music culture and music education in New Orleans, providing free music lessons to underserved youth. I can’t thank y’all enough for supporting this cause.”</p> <section class="suitcase-ad" /> <section class="suitcase-ad" /> <p>Before Brown’s original comments and prior to winning Best R&B Album at this year’s Grammys, Glasper shared a separate post to IG (dated Jan. 30) in which he had a little fun with the “Who the fuck is” phrase. The shirt itself, however, was launched after Brown’s widely reported comments.</p> <section class="suitcase-ad" /> <p>This July, Glasper will take the stage as the artist in residence at the Blue Note Jazz Festival in Napa Valley.

It was broadcast on live television, and I cannot believe that CBS allowed it,” one person wrote. </p> <p>Another person took their displeasure to the extreme, writing, “I will be canceling my television service due to this.”</p> <p>Fresh off the performance last Sunday, Petras defended her and Smith’s creative decisions, saying the stage was inspired by not feeling accepted by religion.</p> <p>“I think a lot of people, honestly, have kind of labeled what I stand for and what Sam stands for as religiously not cool, and I personally grew up wondering about religion and wanting to be a part of it but slowly realizing it didn’t want me to be a part of it,” she said, per <a target="_blank" href="https://variety.com/2023/music/news/sam-smith-kim-petras-unholy-grammys-1235510990/" rel="noopener"><em>Variety</em></a>. “So it’s a take on not being able to choose religion. And not being able to live the way that people might want you to live, because as a trans person I’m already not kind of wanted in religion. So we were doing a take on that and I was kind of hellkeeper Kim.”</p> <section class="suitcase-ad" /></div> <p><br /> <br /><a href="https://www.complex.com/music/sam-smith-kim-petras-unholy-performance-grammy-awards-sparked-fcc-complaints">Source link </a></p> <p> <a rel="follow" href="http://megatheme.ir/" title="قالب وردپرس">قالب وردپرس</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://freshestfm.com/sam-smiths-grammys-performance-prompted-dozens-of-fcc-complaints/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Dee Barnes on Grammys and Dr. Dre: ‘They Named This Award After an Abuser’</title> <link>https://freshestfm.com/dee-barnes-on-grammys-and-dr-dre-they-named-this-award-after-an-abuser/</link> <comments>https://freshestfm.com/dee-barnes-on-grammys-and-dr-dre-they-named-this-award-after-an-abuser/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[SOURCE]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 08 Feb 2023 23:21:09 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[abuse]]></category> <category><![CDATA[assault]]></category> <category><![CDATA[award-shows]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dee-barnes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-music]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-music-hiphop]]></category> <category><![CDATA[drdre]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Featured]]></category> <category><![CDATA[grammys]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Music]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[tier-one]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://freshestfm.com/dee-barnes-on-grammys-and-dr-dre-they-named-this-award-after-an-abuser/</guid> <description><![CDATA[Journalist Dee Barnes has criticized the Recording Academy for honoring Dr. Dre at this year’s Grammy Awards, after alleging that he assaulted her in 1991.

As Barnes revealed not long after the alleged incident happened, and has reiterated numerous times throughout the years, Dre assaulted her at a record release party in Hollywood in January 1991 after she hosted an episode of <em>Pump It Up!</em> that focused on the tension between Dre’s group N.W.A. and Ice Cube, who left the group in 1989.</p> <p>“Everybody wants to separate the art from the artist, and sometimes that’s just not possible. Most people without a knowledge of [Dr. Dre’s] history are going to say, ‘Oh, he must deserve that. He must be such a great person for them to put an award in his name.’ But they named this award after an abuser,” she told the magazine. “It wasn’t just a one or two-time thing; these are choices. The first time, it’s maybe a mistake. The second time, okay. The third time, it’s a choice. I’m not saying he is the same person now, though. I don’t know. I’m not around him anymore. I haven’t talked to him. But to name an award after someone with that type of history in the music industry, you might as well call it the ‘Ike Turner Award.'”</p> <section class="suitcase-ad" /> <p>Barnes described the Grammys’ hip-hop tribute as “beautiful,” but lamented how she couldn’t be in the same space as Dre. “He said it himself in the documentary <em>The Defiant Ones</em>: I’m a ‘blemish’ on who he is as a man. Well, what do you do with a blemish? There’s a whole industry created—skincare lines and vitamins and rituals—to get rid of blemishes,” she continued. “And, in a sense, there’s a whole network to keep me hidden.”</p> <p>Despite her place in hip-hop culture as a prominent journalist at the forefront of hip-hop’s boom in the early ‘90s, Barnes has been unable to remain an active participant in its culture. “I shouldn’t have to suffer by not being able to exist in a space and in a culture that not only did I grow up in but that I contributed to in a major way,” she said. “Is this about his feelings? Is this about his legacy? Or is it about ego and toxic masculinity? What is it about? My whole history has been erased—as an artist, as a music journalist, and as a television host.”</p> <section class="suitcase-ad" /> <p>It’s not just the Grammys that haven’t supported or heard her, though, as Barnes stressed that the hip-hop community has failed to support her. “When I think of what atonement looks like for Dre and me, I think of a missed opportunity where we could have sat down together on camera and hashed it out. I think that would’ve begun a journey of healing; he’s coming face to face with me, and I’m coming face to face with him,” she said. “I’ve put out the olive branch. Black women and grace, you know how we are. It wasn’t accepted.”</p> <p>Barnes concluded by stating that she’s been able to get herself out of homelessness after being unhoused for three years, but it hasn’t been easy. “I’m finally getting my feet wet again, back in the game as a journalist,” she said. “I’m a little rusty, but it’s getting better. The more I do it, the better I’ll feel—confident again.”</p> <p>In her description of the encounter with Dre in 1991, Barnes said that he dragged her by her hair and smashed her face into a wall. He allegedly kicked her while she was on the ground, and stomped on her fingers. In a statement shared with <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/22/arts/music/dr-dre-apologizes-to-the-women-ive-hurt.html?smid=tw-nytimes&smtyp=cur" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the <em>New York Times</em></a><em> </em>in 2015, Dre apologized but did not directly name Barnes. </p> <section class="suitcase-ad" /> <p>Read the full <em>Rolling Stone</em> piece <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/dr-dre-grammy-award-dee-barnes-reacts-abuse-1234675681/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a>.</p> </div> <p><br /> <br /><a href="https://www.complex.com/music/dee-barnes-dr-dre-honored-grammys-named-award-abuser">Source link </a></p> <p> <a rel="follow" href="http://megatheme.ir/" title="قالب وردپرس">قالب وردپرس</a></p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>https://freshestfm.com/dee-barnes-on-grammys-and-dr-dre-they-named-this-award-after-an-abuser/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item> <title>Beyoncé Looks Back on Historic Grammys Night in New Video</title> <link>https://freshestfm.com/beyonce-looks-back-on-historic-grammys-night-in-new-video/</link> <comments>https://freshestfm.com/beyonce-looks-back-on-historic-grammys-night-in-new-video/#respond</comments> <dc:creator><![CDATA[SOURCE]]></dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 08 Feb 2023 18:16:24 +0000</pubDate> <category><![CDATA[award-shows]]></category> <category><![CDATA[awards]]></category> <category><![CDATA[beyonce]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-entertainment]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-entertainment-tv]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-music]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-music-hiphop]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-music-other]]></category> <category><![CDATA[dfp-music-pop]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Featured]]></category> <category><![CDATA[grammys]]></category> <category><![CDATA[history]]></category> <category><![CDATA[instagram]]></category> <category><![CDATA[Music]]></category> <category><![CDATA[News]]></category> <category><![CDATA[tier-one]]></category> <category><![CDATA[videos]]></category> <guid isPermaLink="false">https://freshestfm.com/beyonce-looks-back-on-historic-grammys-night-in-new-video/</guid> <description><![CDATA[Beyoncé is reflecting on a massively historic Grammys night in her latest social media update.

Maybe if I said oh the dress was beautiful I would have gotten a response.”</p> <p>She continued, “It was terrible and I just wish that whole day could just rewind and bring her back and put a nice golden dress on her with some blonde hair I would have been happy. It was horrible. I think that outfit was horrendous. It was sickening. It looks like a worship ceremony. She look like Black Adam’s wife. It was disgusting. Her eyes. It don’t look like Blac Chyna. It don’t look like her and that dress…I do believe she deserves the trolling cause it’s well-deserved…It was just terrible. I wouldn’t wish that dress on anybody in the world. It looks like the devil.”</p> <section class="suitcase-ad" /> <p>Blac Chyna has admittedly had a rocky relationship with her mother over the past few years.
