Whoopi Goldberg has responded to Beyoncé’s ‘Cowboy Carter’ album being snubbed in the nominees for the 2024 Country Music Awards.Earlier this week, Bey’s country album did not receive any industry nods from the CMA – the most prestigious award ceremony in the country music genre decided by the Country Music Association trade group.This may be due to the limited promotion of the record in the country’s music sphere. While it took over mainstream charts earlier this year, country radio stations in the US gave it limited airplay.Similarly, a country music station in Oklahoma made international headlines after it outright refused to play any songs from the tracklist, even upon listener request.

Beyoncé’s ‘Cowboy Carter’ album not receiving any industry nods.The CMA is the most prestigious award ceremony in the country music genre, and those nominated – and those who win – are decided by a group of 7,300 people in the Country Music Association trade group after three rounds of balloting.Arriving at the start of 2024, Bey took over the album charts and made countless headlines for the huge success of her country-inspired record ‘Cowboy Carter’.It also hit some huge milestones in the genre, including making Beyoncé the first Black woman to reach Number One on the US country chart with ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’, the first Black woman to score a Number One country album in the US charts, and gathering support from huge names including Michelle Obama and Paul McCartney.However, despite these accolades, the record has been snubbed at the 2024 CMAs, not receiving any nominations in any categories.This may be due to the limited promotion of the record in the country’s music sphere. While it took over mainstream charts earlier this year, country radio stations in the US gave it limited airplay.Similarly, a country music station in Oklahoma made international headlines after it outright refused to play any songs from the tracklist, even upon listener request.

Beyoncé was set to make an appearance at last week’s event in support of Kamala Harris.Last Thursday (August 22), rumours began spreading that Beyoncé was going to make an appearance at the final DNC event to perform ‘Freedom’ and throw her support behind Harris.

Taylor Swift — seemed poised to run the world yet again in summer 2024.With Swift’s Eras Tour and Beyoncé’s “Renaissance” World Tour having broken the Internet — and many a fan’s bank account — last summer, the stage was set for the two divas to rule again this season after Bey released “Cowboy Carter” in March and Tay dropped “The Tortured Poets Department” in April.But after both superstars topped the charts earlier this year — Beyoncé with “Texas Hold ‘Em” and Swift with “Fortnight” — it was a season of change, as we count down the 10 hottest songs of summer 2024.“They say ‘teamwork makes the dream work,’” sings the power pair behind this twangy, chart-topping duet.

Watch the performance below.Earlier in the day, The Chicks had performed the US national anthem a cappella before the assembly of political activists and campaigners, while the Convention had welcomed artists including Stevie Wonder, Lil Jon, Jason Isbell, Maren Morris and John Legend earlier in the week.As Harris concluded her speech at the end of the night, she was played off by Beyoncé’s ‘Freedom’, the official anthem for her presidential campaign.

Beyoncé has launched her own brand of whiskey, made in tribute to her great-grandfather.Branded as SirDavis, the new drink is named after the singer’s paternal great-grandfather, Davis Hogue, who was a farmer and moonshiner in the American South during the Prohibition era.Although it is an American Whiskey, finished, blended, and bottled in Texas, it takes inspiration from Scotch whiskey and Japanese whiskey – with the singer being a particular fan of the latter.Coming in as a split of 51 per cent rye and 49 per cent barley, the spirit underwent a secondary maturation in sherry casks and also arrives as part of a new partnership Bey has launched with Moët Hennessy.“I’ve always been drawn to the power and confidence I feel when drinking quality whiskey and wanted to invite more people to experience that feeling,” Beyoncé said in a new statement (via Line Of Best Fit).“When I discovered that my great-grandfather had been a moonshine man, it felt like my love for whiskey was fated. SirDavis is a way for me to pay homage to him, uniting us through a new shared legacy,” she added.A post shared by Beyoncé (@beyonce)“In partnering with Moët Hennessy, we have crafted a delicious American whiskey that respects tradition but also empowers people to experience something new and unique in the category.

Missy Elliott worked it with two other legendary divas — Beyoncé and Alicia Keys — on the Verizon Ladies First Tour.(Just let that lineup sink in for a minute. I’ll wait …)I was fortunate enough to be in their presence at the now-defunct Meadowlands Arena in East Rutherford, NJ, back in 2004 — and there was no mistaking that Misdemeanor brought all of her “Supa Dupa Fly”-ness to the stage as one of those co-headlining queens.Little did any of us witnessing all of that Black girl magic know that it would take another 20 years before Elliott took her show on the road again in the US — this time on her first-ever headlining trek in the Out of This World Tour with her longtime collaborators Ciara, Busta Rhymes and Timbaland.But man, was it ever worth the wait.In what has been a relatively slow season on the concert scene — perhaps we got spoiled with both Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour and Beyonce’s “Renaissance” World Tour last year — Elliott cooked up the hottest show of the summer at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Monday night.After launching her North American invasion on July 4 in Vancouver, Elliott had reached a career performance peak as she turned Jay-Z’s house into her own.

The live action, photo-realistically animated remake of The Lion King that was released in 2019 is now considered the highest grossing animated movie of all time, so it comes as no surprise that Disney has made a follow-up, and this one not only features the return of Beyonce as the voice of lion Nala, but also has her and Jay-Z’s daughter Blue Ivy providing the vocals for Princess Kiara, the daughter of Simba and Nala. Both a prequel and a sequel to The Lion King, the new movie is called Mufasa: The Lion King and has mandrill Rafiki telling young Kiara the story of her grandfather Mufasa, who became king of the Pride Lands and father to Simba, and his relationship with his adoptive brother Taka, who would later become known as Scar.Told in flashbacks, the story introduces Mufasa as an orphaned cub, lost and alone until he meets a sympathetic lion named Taka, the heir to a royal bloodline.The chance meeting sets in motion an expansive journey of an extraordinary group of misfits searching for their destiny and their bonds are tested as they work together to evade a threatening and deadly foe.

Beyoncé’s hit single ‘Break My Soul’ has been dropped.First revealed back in May, the filing was put forward by a New Orleans group called Da Showstoppaz, who accused the pop star of copyright infringement with her hit ‘Renaissance’ lead single.The issue stemmed from Beyoncé’s 2022 song sampling Big Freedia – who the band claim unlawfully used lyrics from their 2002 track ‘Release A Wiggle’.Members of the band, Tessa Avie, Keva Bourgeois, Henri Braggs, and Brian Clark, all filed a complaint to the Louisiana federal court. In the filing, they alleged that Bey sampled Big Freedia’s 2014 track ‘Explode’ – however, the latter unlawfully used “copyrighted lyrics, melody, and musical arrangement” from their own track, making the feature in ‘Break My Soul’ unlawful.As well as the ‘Cowboy Carter’ singer, Big Freedia, Sony Music, Jay-Z and more have been named as defendants.Now, it has been confirmed that the copyright lawsuit has been voluntarily dismissed.According to a report by Rolling Stone, the court filing did not mention a settlement agreement, meaning that it is likely that the case was simply dropped.
