Madonna is the Queen of Pop, but that doesn’t mean that everyone is going to respect her as an artist. The writer behind “Like a Prayer” and other Madonna hits revealed what he thought of her as a person and why some singers are labeled “real artists.” He also discussed his issues with the modern music industry.
Madonna’s songwriter revealed his opinion on alleged ‘real artists’
Patrick Leonard is a songwriter who is primarily known for co-writing hits with the Queen of Pop. Leonard’s collaborations with Madonna include “La Isla Bonita,” “Like a Prayer,” “Live to Tell,” “Frozen,” and “Cherish.” You’ll be hard-pressed to find a 1980s nostalgia station that doesn’t play some of those songs. During a 2017 interview with Boys Culture, Leonard discussed his relationship with the Material Girl. “There’s always been mutual respect, and I think that it isn’t often where...

Rapper Megan Thee Stallion, born Megan Pete, has been sued by her former cameraman, Emilio Garcia, claiming that Megan Thee Stallion created a hostile work environment and subjected him to harassment while they worked together.
According to court documents, Garcia recounted an incident in Ibiza, Spain, while on tour with the rapper in 2022. Garcia alleged that after a night out, he, Megan Thee Stallion and three other women were traveling together in an SUV when the rapper and one of the women engaged in a sexual act right beside him.
Unable to exit the vehicle in an unfamiliar country, Garcia states that he felt embarrassed, mortified and offended throughout the ordeal. The cameraman asserted that the singer later instructed him not to discuss what he had witnessed and proceeded to make fat-shaming comments towards him, referred to him as a “Fat B—-” and told him he didn’t need to eat.

The VMAs are headed home — well, close enough — to celebrate its 40th anniversary: After two years on the other side of the Hudson River, MTV’s flagship awards show will return to New York, taking place Sept. 10 at the Ubs Arena in Elmont, just outside of New York City.
The Video Music Awards debuted in 1984 at Radio City Music Hall. While that storied NYC venue has hosted the show numerous times over the decades, it hasn’t been held there since 2018.

The entertainment industry is no stranger to drama and controversy. Most recently, Megan Thee Stallion, renowned for her sassy lyrics and empowering presence, is facing allegations from a photographer who claims he got wrongfully fired. The Grammy winner and Mean Girls actress is being sued by her former personal cameraman for allegedly creating a hostile and “abusive work environment”.
It is alleged that the rapper’s former employee was forced to witness her intimate acts with another woman. Does this imply that the photographer was fired unfairly for refusing to engage in the explicit act?

We’re still throwing things at artists during concerts?
Over the weekend, Luke Bryan slipped on a fan-thrown cellphone and fell onstage, landing on his back, during a show in Vancouver. Thankfully, he was unscathed, and he joked about the whole thing mid-show.
The country star and American Idol judge laughed at the moment as he held up the phone. “Hold up! Did anybody get that?” he said to the crowd. “It’s Ok. My lawyer will be calling.”
Bryan then grabbed another fan’s phone, after they recorded the incident.

If Coachella stages were categorized as internet slang, last week, Heineken House was the Iykyk (If you know, you know) of the nation’s most prominent music festival. Tucked away in the corner of the Empire Polo Club grounds on the festival’s opening weekend, Heineken set up the perfect oasis to bop your head, sip a lager, and take a beat to lounge in the grass while getting away from the crowds — until, of course, the crowds caught word and made their way inside.

Nicki Minaj held nothing back for the new “Sleeze Mix” remix of her hit, “Ftcu,” enlisting Travis Scott, Sexyy Red, and Chris Brown for the track.
The remix absolutely lives up to its sleazy billing, with all three guests delivering verses that are boisterous, graphic, and horny as hell. Sexxy Red probably delivers the tamest bars, and she’s still threatening to beat someone’s ass in the club. Meanwhile, Scott rhymed “burst,” “work,” twerk,” and “squirt,” and Brown, well, uh, yeah, his verse is definitely the most explicit, and the less said about that,...

It’s no secret that Lady Gaga took lots and lots of inspiration from Madonna and there is nothing wrong with homage. However, sometimes, homage becomes theft. Gaga once released a track that took a little too much inspiration from one of Madonna’s defining hits. However, Gaga’s producer had no sympathy for fans who saw Gaga as a copycat.
1 of Madonna’s more political songs clearly inspired Lady Gaga
Madonna knew how to get fans on the dancefloor from the beginning of her career. With her album Like a Prayer, the Queen of Pop proved she had style and substance. The album has great pop beats, but it also deals with serious topics like family, trauma, religion, sexuality, and feminism.
The album’s big feminist anthem is “Express Yourself.” It’s a funky dance-pop track with a great vocal melody. That melody found its way into Gaga’s “Born This Way.

The rap princess was sitting courtside when she reached out her hand to Anderson, standing on the court with Cedrick the Entertainer.
Her neon green Berkin bag covered her ample cleavage during most of the game.
In January, Megan released a new single, “Hiss.” Fans believed the song was a diss track against Nicki Minaj based on her lyrics about a federal law that hits close to home for Minaj.
“These h—- don’t be mad at Megan; these h—–are mad at Megan’s Law.”
Megan’s Law is a federal law that requires information about a sex offender to be public. Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, is a registered sex offender.

Hitting social media on Saturday, a leaked diss track from Drake has set the hip-hop world abuzz. Although there’s no confirmation if the song actually came from the rapper or its AI-constructed music, the Canadian singer appears aiming for none other than Kendrick Lamar in the lyrics.

In the track, Drake appears making cheeky references to Rick Ross, The Weeknd, and also appears to send a stray at Ja Morant. But overall, the majority of the track’s ire seemed reserved for Kendrick Lamar, wherein the particular line “you better drop and give ’em fifty” took over the internet. But what’s it all about?

The past few weeks have been great for music. With new releases from Ariana Grande, Beyoncé and more, the charts truly feel like they are alive again. Among these big releases, one of the most buzzed about has been the alliance between hip-hop superstar producer Metro Boomin and veteran rapper Future on their album “We Don’t Trust You.” It has been a huge success, debuting atop the Billboard 200 with over 250,000 equivalent album units and multiple songs in the top 10 of that week’s Billboard Hot 100, most notably the single “Like That” with Kendrick Lamar at number-one.

Just in time for Easter, the Starships hitmaker turned the basketball game into a family affair by sitting courtside with her husband, Kenneth Petty, and their son, nicknamed Papa Bear.
Though other celebrities were also watching the game, like Julia Fox, Fat Joe, Bad Bunny, and Ben Stiller, with whom Minaj snapped a photo, Nicki Minaj’s Barbie pink outfit instantly captured my attention.

Teresa Giudice rocked her pink Barbie outfit to enjoy a girls’ night out with her bestie, Jennifer Aydin.
The Real Housewives of New Jersey stars and their kids went to see Nicki Minaj in concert, and they rocked the Barbz signature color.
However, people were not feeling Teresa’s belly-baring, three-piece outfit and they wanted her to know it.
When she posted the fashionable photos online, critics dragged her and claimed the outfit was inappropriate for someone her age.
The snap showed the yoga-loving mama posing at the foot of her grand staircase in a mini skirt with a matching bralette and jacket, complete with clear heels.
She had one arm around Jennifer who opted for a more casual attire as they posed for the snap before heading out.

An open letter from the Artists Rights Alliance and signed by more than 200 major figures in the music and entertainment industries is calling on AI companies and digital music service platforms to pledge that they won’t develop or use AI tools “that undermine or replace the human artistry of songwriters and artists or deny us fair compensation for our work.”

Non-profit organization Artist Rights Alliance has issued an open letter focused on the rise of AI in music, signed by over 200 prominent names in the music industry, including Billie Eilish, Pearl Jam, Greta Van Fleet, Jason Isbell, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj,Elvis Costello, Jon Batiste, and Stevie Wonder.
Under the call to “stop devaluing music,” the letter states, “Some of the biggest and most powerful companies are, without permission, using our work to train AI models. These efforts are directly aimed at replacing the work of human artists with massive quantities of AI-created ‘sounds’ and ‘images’ that substantially dilute the royalty pools that are paid out to artists.”
Beyond potential royalty and revenue losses, the letter goes on to push back against the “assault on human creativity” posed by AI. “Unchecked, AI will set in motion a race to the bottom that will degrade the value of our work,” the document reads.

The Artists Rights Alliance, backed by around 200 music artists including Billie Eilish, Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry and Camila Cabello, has released an open letter calling on digital music developers to “cease the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to infringe upon and devalue the rights of human artists.”
The campaign raised the alarm on the the use of musical works by AI developers that without permission train and produce AI “copycats,” or use AI “sound” to dilute royalty obligations. Their intervention came as the threat from AI to creators, and its value to tech giants, is an increasing focus for the legal and pop music fields.
“Working musicians are already struggling to make ends meet in the streaming world, and now they have the added burden of trying to compete with a deluge of AI-generated noise. The unethical use of generative AI to replace human artists will devalue the entire music...

The “Shallow” singer has left her little monsters full of worry and concern after her recent livestream interview with beauty influencer Nikkie de Jager, aka NikkieTutorials.
During her interview, the two women kept conversing like they were old pals who met and rekindled their friendship.
The interview focused more on Lady Gaga‘s life and her upcoming album, LG7. Although the “Bloody Mary” singer gave out some details about her upcoming album, her little monsters weren’t exactly paying attention to that as their main focus was on her face.
First of all, Lady Gaga donned on a black sleeveless blouse and wore her long platinum blonde hair down.
Her simple makeup looked so natural that you might think she didn’t wear any. But then, amid all her beauty and composure, the fact that her face looked “swollen” didn’t escape their notice.

Rapper Sean Diddy Combs has made headlines this week when his homes were raided by federal agents. Diddy’s homes in Miami and Los Angeles were reportedly raided, with the Department of Homeland Security claiming it to be a part of their ongoing investigations, though they reportedly did not confirm if the investigation was related to the rapper himself (via BBC News).
Unfortunately, this was not the first time that the Bad Boys For Life rapper has gotten himself on the wrong side of the law. Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was reportedly arrested in a late-night club along with his then-girlfriend Jennifer Lopez years earlier in 1999. The detention resulted in a humiliating incident with Lopez, who was reportedly handcuffed to a pole at the precinct.
