Jay-Z Drops '2020 Vision COVID-19' Playlist Featuring Beyoncé, Jay Electronica and More - Billboard

Posted: 08 Dec 2020 06:51 PM PST

Jay-Z's capping 2020 -- and celebrating his 51st birthday today (Dec. 4) -- with a new playlist he curated exclusively on his streaming service Tidal.

He captures the riotous year with 40 tracks that gave us reasons to laugh, cry, rejoice and protest, including his wife Beyoncé's "Black Parade (Extended Version)" and remix of Megan Thee Stallion's "Savage" and his Roc Nation artist Jay Electronica's "Universal Soldier," "Ghost of Soulja Slim" and "A.P.I.D.T.A.," which Hov lends his vocals to.

"Ghost of Soulja Slim" was also featured on his "Songs for Survival 2" Tidal playlist, which was filled with protest anthems new and old that Jay-Z released this summer during the heat of the Black Lives Matter movement.

How celebs’ mega mansions compare to their humble childhood homes, from Beyoncé to Ellie Goulding - The Sun

Posted: 20 Nov 2020 12:00 AM PST

CELEBS are often flaunting their luxurious lifestyles and sprawling mansions on social media for us regular folk to lust over, but, like us, most came from humble beginnings with smaller childhood homes.

After finding fame as an award-winning pop star, Ellie Goulding, 33, swapped her council home in Lyonshall, just a stone's throw away from the Welsh border, for a dreamy central London pad, which she recently sold for a whopping £5.9 million.

The five storey 2,961 sq ft property boasts five bedrooms, two lounges, a state-of-the-art kitchen and dining area as well as a luxurious cinema room with a stylish white and grey theme throughout.

But Ellie's swish home is a far cry from where she grew up in a small rural town of just 750 people when she barely had pennies to her name and struggled to make ends meet.

The hitmaker shot to fame after releasing her first album, Lights, in 2010, and now has four platinum-selling albums and an estimated fortune of £20 million.

Last year, Elle married art dealer Caspar Jopling in a lavish wedding with friends Princess Eugenie and her then fiancé Jack Brooksbank in attendance - proving just how far she's come.

But she's just one of many high-flying celebs who've upgraded their pads from modest detached houses to sprawling estates with fellow hitmakers Rihanna and Beyoncé cashing in too.

Singer and make-up extraordinaire Rihanna, real name Robyn Fenty, grew up in Barbados, in a quaint bungalow she shared with her two siblings. 

In 2012 RiRi gave Oprah a tour of her childhood home, and fans often snap selfies in front of it when in town. 

The 32-year-old, who moved to America to start her career, bought a $6.8million mansion in LA a few years ago, which boasts six bedrooms and eight bathrooms over 7,130sq ft.

The pop star and entrepreneur made her fortune through her extensive music career and booming make-up brand, Fenty Beauty, giving her an estimated fortune of £468 million.

This eye-watering amount put her at third place on The Sunday Times Rich List, after revealing she's been living in London and is renting out her LA pad as she tries to sell it.

Meanwhile, music icon Beyoncé swapped her quaint home for a $81million mansion in the swanky neighbourhood of Bel Air, which she and husband Jay Z bought in 2017.

The music mogul, whose career began with R&B group Destiny's Child before going solo, came from a small picturesque terraced property in Houston with a winding drive, which has three bathrooms and three bedrooms. 

While it might not seem so bad, it's a long way from the dreamy 30,000sq ft mansion she lives in with her family today.

Her pad has eight bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, a home cinema, tennis and basketball courts as well as four pools - in case one wasn't enough.

As for fellow singer Ariana Grande, who now calls a $13.7 million mansion home, her former home was a fraction of the size but still seriously impressive.

The 27-year-old grew up in Florida, in a lavish home with five bedrooms and seven bathrooms set among 7,590sq ft of space - with a pool. 

But despite coming from a sizable family house, the Thank U Next singer upgraded her digs and forked out for a new build in the Hollywood Hills back in 2017.

Her new gaffe boasts four bedrooms, seven bathrooms as well as a fitness studio, 300-bottle wine cellar and an infinity pool - so everything we could ever dream of.

But unlike Arianna, rapper Eminem, real name Marshall Mathers, came from humble beginnings in Detroit, a subject he often references in his songs.

The 48-year-old used a snap of his childhood home on the cover of his album Marshall Mathers LP 2, and while the home was later demolished Eminem kept some bricks and later auctioned them off. 

The one-bathroom home is in stark contrast to the 15,129 square foot mansion he bought in Rochester Hills, with the 5.7 acre estate boasting six bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a tennis court, lake, pool and a five-car garage.

And with a career spanning 20 long years, he can now kick back and relax in one of the many comfy rooms.

Grease legend John Travolta spent his younger years in New Jersey, with snaps from a property listing claiming to be the actor's childhood home showing a modest two-storey house with three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Nowadays the 66-year-old lives in an airport he bought in Florida, which houses two runways for his private jets. 

The actor, whose wife Kelly Preston sadly passed this year, owns five planes and extended the taxiway straight to his front door.

Megan Thee Stallion has some "Good News" for her fans. 

After months of misfortunes stemming from her assault in July, the "Savage" rapper is ready to flip the narrative with the release of her debut album on Nov. 20. 

"THROUGH SUCH A ROUGH YEAR I FELT LIKE WE COULD ALL USE A LIL GOOD NEWS," Megan Thee Stallion, whose real name is Megan Pete, tweeted Thursday. 

Despite the tough year, Pete has had her fair share of good fortune in 2020. 

In April, the Houston native teamed up with Beyoncé for her first No. 1 single with a remix of "Savage," the rapper's single that went viral on TikTok with over 30 million users participating in the "classy, bougie, ratchet" dance challenge. 

In August, Pete jumped on Cardi B's highly controversial yet wildly popular single "WAP," earning her second No. 1 of the year.

Pete also picked up two BET Awards (including Best Female Hip Hop Artist over Nicki Minaj, Cardi B and Doja Cat), two BET Hip Hop Awards (including Hip Hop Artist of the Year over Drake, Future and DaBaby) and scored a coveted musical appearance on "Saturday Night Live."

"We need to protect our Black women and love our Black women... because at the end of the day we need our Black women," Megan said during her "SNL" performance. 

Rapper Tory Lanez, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, is accused of shooting at Megan Thee Stallion several times and wounding her on July 12 in Hollywood Hills. He faces two felony charges: assault with a semiautomatic firearm and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle.

"Good News" is Pete's first album. 

Her other projects include three EPs – 2017's "Make It Hot," 2018's "Tina Snow" and 2020's "Suga" – and the full-length mixtape "Fever" in 2019. 

In September, Time magazine named Pete one of the 100 most influential people in the world on their annual list.
