00:00Ariana Grande is slammed for reportedly making more than Beyoncé at Coachella,

00:07Britney Spears' team revealed that they feared she would die,

00:10plus Ari shares dark side of touring with her fans.

00:16Hey guys, Devante for Hollywood Life with your pop star roundup, starting with Ozuna. The Latin

00:20artist isn't really a pop star, but he recently spoke with Billboard about what it was like

00:24working with Cardi B and Selena Gomez for Taki Taki, and he gushes oversell.

00:29I recorded Cardi B, I posted it to her social networks, but I still didn't know that Selena

00:33was going to record it. Until the video came, I saw Selena Gomez and I was in shock. I was

00:39in shock. I was in shock. As we were in Puerto Rico in Puerto Rico, I was in shock.

00:43So either he doesn't care about Cardi or he just doesn't want the smoke with Offset.

00:47But either way, onto someone who just wants a little bit of smoke, Pete Davidson. Pete spoke

00:51with Jimmy Fallon about going to dinner with Kid Cudi, Timothee, Chalamet, and Kimye, and describes

00:56how Kanye's size made his bank account pretty show.

00:59So I get there and we're outside and, you know, we order a couple of things. I'm like,

01:03all right, this is cool. Everybody's like, you know, skinny or whatever. It's all fine.

01:09Everyone's skinny.

01:10Uh, Cudi goes, hey, Kim and Kanye might come by. And I was like, that would be awesome.

01:15And then I was like, oh no.

01:17The waiter comes, uh, and Kanye's like, uh, what would you like to order Kanye? And he goes,

01:23uh, I want that stuff that's not even on the menu. That crazy stuff. I was like, oh my God,

01:28that's crazy stuff. Now I'm not saying he's fat shaming Kanye, but you know, kind of.

01:34Anyway, let's talk about Pete's ex. Ariana Grande continued to be open and real with her fans on

01:39Twitter yesterday and revealed touring is hell. It all started when a fan tweeted at her asking if

01:44touring was good for her health, to which she replied by saying, I don't think so. Honestly,

01:48it's been very hard. In another tweet, Ari described making music as healing,

01:52but performing it as hell. Fans tried to assure her that they wouldn't be mad if she canceled her

01:57tour, but Ari revealed she doesn't want to do that and went on to tell fans that her soul is

02:02confused and tired, but she's trying. But hang on, we'll come right back to Ari. Let's talk about

02:06Britney Spears for a sec. The Blast reports Britney's advisors feared that she would die if she didn't

02:11get treatment. A source told the site when they were negotiating her second Vegas residency,

02:16it became apparent her life was out of control and her mental health wasn't in a position to be

02:21performing. The site says Britney was not taking her medications as prescribed and her mental health

02:26had deteriorated to a dangerous point. Britney's team reportedly told the media she was seeking

02:31treatment because she was distraught over her father's illness as a smokescreen to hide the full

02:36severity of the situation. Now back to Ari, during her spree of emotional tweets, she also explained

02:41to fans that she just isn't in the right headspace to handle Twitter the way she used to be. And that

02:46might have something to do with all the backlash and Twitter headlines that spiral around her,

02:50like the new wave of hate coming to her because she reportedly got paid more than Beyoncé

02:55for performing at Coachella. According to our sister side Variety, Ari was paid $8 million to

03:00headline this year, which is allegedly double what Beyoncé got paid for her appearance last year.

03:05This news mixed with Homecoming, the Netflix film that documents Beyoncé's eight-month prep

03:10for Beychella has fans furious that she wasn't given the compensation for her dedication.

03:15Many Twitter users are blaming the pay gap on white privilege, questioning how Ari,

03:20an artist with fewer years of relevance, could get paid more than Beyoncé, who is, well, Beyoncé.

03:25And what I find really interesting about this is that a lot of people sounding off

03:29are making it clear that they believe Ari is an amazing singer. I kind of expected the haters to

03:34come at her talent, but somehow, from what I've seen, that isn't happening that much.

03:38And adding to all of this, The Blast claims that reports of Ari's pay are correct,

03:43but she didn't get paid more than Beyoncé. According to the site,

03:46the contracts for both artists were structured the same way, and the women got $4 million for

03:51each weekend. But alright guys, hit that sub, like, and bell button, comment what you think

03:55of all this Ari and Beyoncé stuff, and yo, have a great weekend. I love you. Do it, man.

04:01Do it, man. Do it, have a great one. Come on. Yeah. Let's get it.
