surprise appearance

Cardi B Joins Madonna Onstage For Raunchy Dance-Off During “Vogue”

by

Madonna’s The Celebration Tour has been a spectacle to witness, and folks in Inglewood, California for her Monday night performance (March 11) had a great surprise to enjoy. Moreover, the one and only Cardi B walked out onstage to rate a dance-off with the pop legend for “Vogue,” and this celebrity guest slot during this song is a staple of her shows at this point. The “CHAMPAGNE ROSÉ” collaborators held up signs reading “10” or “CHOP” as the dancers strutted their stuff. What’s more is that the Bronx rapper twerked for the crowd and for the dancers, too, and you know for a fact that she got a ten from her peers.

Overall, it was a pretty glamorous, raunchy, and above all fun performance from two dominant artists in their fields. The influence that the “Like A Virgin” icon laid down for generations to come is undeniable and deeply rooted, even if affirmation of this can come off as combative. For example, Madonna and Cardi B were actually at odds for a couple of hours thanks to a seemingly dismissive post from the former to the latter, which Cardi didn’t appreciate considering her consistent fandom. But they spoke and cleared things up, and it became apparent that it was just a simple misunderstanding.

Furthermore, there are other non-Cardi B aspects of The Celebration Tour that weren’t as warmly received. Fortunately, these examples seem to have resolved amicably and without much fuss. One of them is how Madonna removed an image of Luther Vandross from her AIDS tribute during her concerts after his estate clarified that he never claimed to have AIDS or HIV. He actually passed away due to stroke complications.

Meanwhile, the “Like What” lyricist is dropping another new single this week, extending the hype and momentum behind her next album drop. Do you think this next move from Bardi will be a 10 or a chop? However you may feel, drop your thoughts down in the comments section below.

Pusha T Makes Suprise Appearance At We Love Green Festival

by

Pusha T surprised fans when he joined French band Phoenix on stage at the We Love Green Festival in Paris on June 2. They performed two songs – Phoenix’s 2000 hit “Funky Squaredance” and “All Eyes On Me”, Pusha T’s song from Clipse alongside his brother No Malice. Pusha T’s appearance was not wholly a surprise, as he was scheduled to appear at the festival.

Phoenix, formed in 1995, are a big-ticket item right now. They recently announced that they will be performing at Glastonbury later this month. Furthermore, they will be joining Beck on the “Summer Odyssey” tour of North America. They have had three albums chart on the Billboard 200. Their 2013 album Bankrupt! peaked at #4. Their most recent album, Alpha Zulu, did not chart. Despite this, it peaked at #50 on the Top Album Sales chart. However, few fans were expecting for Pusha T to appear on stage with the band.

Pusha T Undertakes European Tour

Last month, Pusha T announced that he was postponing his European tour for a second time. The musician was supposed to tour the continent last year after the release of his fourth studio album, It’s Almost Dry. It was the first #1 release of his career. However, the tour was postponed due to “production issues”. The tour was postponed again, with Pusha taking to Instagram to explain. “Apologies to my European family, but I have to shift my European tour dates due to production issues. After the overwhelming demand and sellouts it breaks my heart. We can’t deliver the show we envisioned within the original timeframe, and you all deserve the full ‘It’s Almost Dry’ experience.”

Due to this announcement, it was a surprise for Pusha T to appear at a music festival in Paris. The dates for the tour are fairly unclear, so it’s hard to say where and Pusha T is going to be in Europe. However, fans were treated to a vintage performance in Paris. According to his tour website, he is next scheduled to perform at SaSaZu in Prague. After that, he has a stop in Zurich before traveling back to New York for the Governor’s Ball.

Ice Spice Makes Surprise Appearance At Eras Tour Stop

by

Taylor Swift had fans riled up this week amidst the Eastern Seaboard leg of her Eras Tour. The star announced a surprise collaboration with red-hot rapper Ice Spice in the form of a remix of Swift’s top-10 hit “Karma”.

However, despite the star power, the track has met with a fairly cool reception outside of the pair’s respective die-hard fandoms. Many social media users have called the “collaboration rushed“, pointing to a fairly muted verse from the usually savage Spice. Furthermore, there are myriad theories that the track is nothing more than a PR stunt. Swift is currently rumored to be dating The 1975 frontman Matty Healy, who was involved in a podcast episode earlier this year where a plethora of racist comments were made about Spice. Despite this, it hasn’t stopped the pair from putting on a show.

Ice Spice Rocks All Black For Eras

As mentioned, Taylor Swift is currently deep into her 52-stop Eras Tour. The current leg sees her in New Jersey, performing at MetLife Stadium. Furthermore, she’s received a warm welcome from the state – having the state sandwich named after her and getting Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers to declare that he is a die-hard Swiftie. However, fans at the May 26 show got an extra surprise when Swift brought Ice Spice out on stage.

Dressed in a stylized wraparound top and matching black skirt with a black shift, Spice wowed alongside Swift, who was dressed in a midnight blue mini dress. The pair performed their “Karma” remix, to the delight of the packed crowd. It’s the perfect spot for Spice to appear. Spice hails from the Bronx, which lies just 11 miles from MetLife Stadium. However, it’s unclear if the Spice will appear at the other two New Jersey shows but fans certainly wouldn’t complain if she did. After MetLife, Swift is headed to Soldier Field in Chicago. Furthermore, the Eras Tour is set to continue until August. Swift will conclude the tour with five shows at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. Furthermore. what did you think of the “Karma” remix? Are you hitting up The Eras Tour? Let us know in the comments.

Ice Spice Performs “No Clarity” During Zedd’s Set At Ultra Miami: Video

by

She’s one of the youngest names in female rap right now, but that’s not stopping Ice Spice from kicking ass and taking names. After attracting one of the biggest audiences at Rolling Loud California with her short and sweet set, the 23-year-old continues to wow audiences with her live performances. Most recently, she joined Russian-German DJ Zedd at Ultra Miami, where he invited her up on stage to perform “No Clarity,” which samples his 2012 hit single, “Clarity.”

As she surprised the festival crowd on Friday (March 24) night, they erupted in loud cheers for Spice. “It get hot so I’m keepin’ my cool / And he like how I get in my mood,” she raps over the infectious beat. “So why would you f*ck with my mental / After all that I told you I been through / But you was my heart so I let you.” The single is one of the Bronx Baddie’s first, landing back in November 2021 after “Bully Freestyle. It’s since racked up over 10M streams on Spotify, and was followed by tracks like “Be a Lady” and “Name of Love.”

Ice Spice Takes Ultra Miami

As Uproxx notes, Spice previously expressed her love for EDM music during an interview with NME. “At a point of time in the early 2010s around middle school, I started hearing it more when it became more popular,” she recalled to the outlet. I was hearing Zedd and Skrillex a lot. Do you remember when Skrillex was super big? That was a whole era. People went from emo to Skrillex like that [snaps fingers].”

Besides killing it on festival stages, Ice Spice has also been making headlines lately after earning kudos from Nicki Minaj. Following an announcement that the Queen of Rap launched her own record label a few weeks back, the quick-witted duo has been seemingly hinting at the possibility of Onika signing Isis Gaston. Other artists already tapped by the “Moment 4 Life” hitmaker include London Hill, Rico Danna, Nana Fofie, and Skeng. Check out the video of Ice Spice performing at Ultra Miami on Twitter above, and make sure to check back later for more hip-hop news updates.

New Episode Of “Atlanta” Includes A Surprise Gunna Cameo

by

Gunna may have spent the last couple of months (and potentially the next few as well) locked up in jail, but that doesn’t mean the DS4EVER hitmaker isn’t still managing to make major career moves.

As HipHopDX reports, Thursday (September 29) night’s episode of Atlanta saw the 29-year-old make his acting debut, playing himself alongside Brian Tyree Henry’s Paper Boi, who he was filmed playing cards with in the studio for their scene together.

The pair were engaged in a tense round of Uno – one which Gunna appeared to be losing – as Paper slammed down a “wild” card before selecting the colour yellow as his choice.

At this point, the “P Power” hitmaker accused his competitor of cheating, saying, “You know I ain’t got no more yellow cards.” Henry’s character responded by stating that that was the whole point of his move before throwing down two “draw four” cards, prompting Wunna to opt for an L.

Just a few seconds later, Childish Gambino’s Earn arrived in the scene, followed by Paper Boi’s Aunt Jeanie who promptly kicked everyone out of the studio.

It’s been noted that the episode was filmed this time last year inside Studio 9000, or the “A Room” at Atlanta’s own Pathwork Studios.

Aside from his TV triumph, Gunna is also likely feeling good to have his attorney Steve Sadow working so hard for his freedom. Currently, the rapper’s legal team is filing their third attempt at getting their client his ability to bond out of jail.

“Franz Kafka would be shocked to learn that ‘imprison him now; present the evidence sometime in the future’ appears to be the State’s reality in Fulton County,” Sadow declared in court. “The prosecution has been afforded ample time to develop evidence to support its motion to detain Kitchens. It has not succeeded.”

Though the lawyer makes a compelling argument, it should be noted that if the Fulton County judge denies this attempt, Gunna will remain behind bars until his trial is set to begin in January of 2023.
