BTS‘s RM is currently under fire for sharing what some believe to be an Islamophobic song, though it has been repeatedly debated. On August 16, RM shared a track to his Instagram story, which is not unusual for the star. The song shared is a track from Frank Ocean’s debut studio album, Channel Orange, titled “Bad Religion.” Like many of his other songs, “Bad Religion” is about love, with this track depicting Frank sharing his experience with an unrequited love with a taxi driver. When the song was released, several lines from the chorus caught attention, inspiring debate over their meaning. And you say ‘Allahu Akbar’ I told him, ‘Don’t curse me’ ‘Bo Bo, you need prayer’ I guess it couldn’t hurt me If it brings me to my knees, it’s a bad religion — Frank Ocean’s “Bad Religion” Allahu Akbar is an Arabic phrase often used in Islam, meaning “God is greatest,” Frank Ocean’s response of “Don’t curse me” has been interpreted in multiple ways. A common one is that Ocean already suffers from the “religion” of love and doesn’t wish to have another. Some Muslims have found the song’s lyrics problematic despite having a double meaning, leading to the current mixed reaction RM faces over sharing the song as some seek to clarify its deeper meanings. https://www.koreaboo.com/news/bts-rm-backlash-sharing-islamaphobic-song-frank-ocean-bad-religion/

Will the Sun lie? Shakira in line to receive prestigious award after shock split from Gerard Pique | The Sun MADONNA, Britney Spears and Beyonce have won it in the past, now Shakira is being lined up to receive the prestigious Video Vanguard Award at next month’s MTV Video Music Awards. I’ve been told she is in negotiations to get the lifetime achievement prize and perform a medley of her biggest hits at the huge music event in New York next month. Conversations are ongoing although an announcement is expected later this month. It would signify a remarkable return to form for the Colombian superstar, following a turbulent year which has seen her split from her long-term partner, footballer Gerard Pique, and kick start her music career once again. The prize was first presented in 1984 and is regarded as one of the most respected awards in music in the US. A source said: “This is a massive deal for Shakira. It is about celebrating her entire career and the mark she has had on music globally. “The deal isn’t done yet. If you accept the award, you have to give a major performance, so they are still working out the details. “But everyone really wants it to happen. It would be a real honour. “She has been hard at work on new music and this would be the perfect way to enter the next era of her career.” It might not be the only award she wins either. As one of the most popular artists in Latin America, she is up for four prizes at the VMAs including Artist of the Year as well as Best Collaboration for TQG with Karol G. That song is also one of two nods for her in the Best Latin category, alongside her solo track Acróstico. With a total of eight, Taylor Swift leads the nominations for the ceremony, which will take place on September 12 in the States and air at 9pm the following evening on MTV UK. But some male performers might throw their toys out of the pram, as men have largely been shut out of the top categories. Shakira released her debut album in 1991 then had her first UK hit in 2001 when Whenever Wherever hit No2. In total she has had 13 Top 40 hits including Underneath Your Clothes, She Wolf, Beautiful Liar and Waka Waka. Back in 2020 she even headlined the Super Bowl Halftime Show with fellow pop star Jennifer Lopez. Even after three decades in pop, there’s no stopping her.

Lady Gaga’s dad is leading the charge against unruly migrants living near his Upper West Side home and restaurant — griping they’re flooding the ritzy neighborhood with a constant stream of hookers and other bad behavior. “If it was like this when my girls were growing up, I wouldn’t be living in New York,” “There’s now 500 migrants living in that dormitory. That’s when all the mayhem began,”said Joe Germanotta. Germanotta claims the chaos has depreciated local property values and said it’s torn at the fabric of a neighborhood that was caught off guard. “Hookers are coming and going. In the mornings, you see prostitutes coming out of the building,” he said. “They’re guests in our neighborhood, and they have basically taken over.” “Most of the people in (my) building are owners. They feel that this situation has affected their property values,” Germanotta said. “Give us something back. Give us a tax rebate. They’re spending all this money, OK, give me some.” Sidewalks that used to be mostly clean are now filled with trash, he said. He was particularly troubled when he started seeing hypodermic needles. https://nypost.com/2023/08/09/lady-gagas-dad-rallies-nyc-neighbors-over-migrants-at-stratford-arms-hotel/ His comments created a big reaction, with 1,500 comments on the article since it was published yesterday.

Really interesting article.

Katy Perry Discusses Plans for New Music, End of Las Vegas Residency – Billboard “I haven’t put any new material out since my darling Daisy,” Perry said. “I think that I’m writing a lot and have written a lot from a place of love because I’m feeling so much of it — so much unconditional love, that love you never knew existed.” “I’m always writing, I have been, but I think what’s really important to me is to be celebrating the world that I’ve got to build with all of these wonderful songs and to be responsible for a life for a 3-year-old,” she added. “I will be back, but let me get this right.”
