During a visit to Power 106 in Los Angeles, Wiz accepted a challenge to prove that, he can write to any beat.
Say what you want about Wiz’s singing voice (It’s nice, right?), the weird and fake “Hello” video filter, and his choice of jewelry, but you have to commend the guy for turning an emotional Adele song into something that includes the line, “I got some munchies, we all get along.”

During her concert on New Year’s Eve in Las Vegas, Celine Dion absolutely stunned fans with a surprise cover of Adele’s “Hello.”
“If I may, I would like Adele to be part of our New Year’s Eve,” she told a crowd of delighted fans.
“So don’t panic, she’s not in the building,” she said showing off her humorous side. “Do we need to change the battery in my microphone? It kind of lost it a bit. Adele, hello? Hello?”
Lionel Richie has admitted (well, joked) that he contacted his lawyers about trademarking ‘Hello’ after Adele’s comeback single of the same name.
Talking to The Sun, he joked: “You can’t use my word without my acknowledgement, thank you very much.
“I have been trying to figure out, from a legal point of view, can you own a word? So far all the lawyers have told me, ‘No’. I’ve tried… but the association is fabulous!”
He added that the two ‘will meet’ – hopefully for a duet – at some point, saying: “When she’s on tour I’ll catch her backstage.”

There’s no bigger fan of Adele‘s “Hello” than Lionel Richie himself.
The 66-year-old Grammy-winning artist, who enjoyed tremendous success with his own single called “Hello” in the early ’80s, is thrilled about the newfound attention the decades-old song has received since Adele released her record-breaking track in October.
After the song’s debut, a video mashup of the British crooner hanging up the phone on the former Commodore immediately went viral, poking fun at the two hits’ similar set of lyrics.
While previewing his new home collection to Manhattan’s top real estate brokers at the TOWN Residential Art Basel kick-off event, E! News caught up with the “All Night Long” crooner at the Versace Mansion to talk about the song’s second shot at stardom.
“Wasn’t that hilarious? Hilarious!” Lionel gushed to E! News exclusively. “Someone said to me, ‘Lionel, Adele did ‘Hello” and I said, ‘Retirement. I am done’…Then, all of a sudden I realized this is not ‘Hello.’ She just used ‘Hello.”
Fortunately, the singing sensation has no hard feelings about the similar titles. In fact, he’s happy they both come up in the same sentence.
“You have no idea how many people called me on the phone and said, ‘Are you going to let her get away with that? She stole ‘Hello!” Then I said I don’t own ‘Hello.’ I own the melody,” he clarified to E! News. “But, what it did was it blew everything to the ceiling. The conversation came up. If you say Adele and you say Lionel or Lionel and Adele…that’s the best pairing you could have!”
Luckily for fans of the mashup, the new duo is already cooking up a collaboration for a future date.
“We are going to be doing something together—that’s already almost in the works…I can almost say that we are talking, but right now she has a mission,” Lionel told E! News. “Her mission is [to] get her record out and go on tour, so until she finishes that cycle, that won’t happen just yet. She is committed to that.”
In the meantime, may we suggest a guest appearance on her 2016 tour?
“If I jump on her stage, [they’d] probably throw me out,” he joked to E! News. “No, no, that won’t happen on this tour! Can you imagine ‘Lionel Richie Jumps or Crawls Up on Adele’s Stage?'”
That would be a headline we’d certainly never miss.
Adele has hired Peter Van Der Veen, gorgeous Dutch man and former bodyguard of Lady Gaga, as her protector and hunky human shield following the popularity of her latest album, 25.
As with all beautiful (and Adele-related) things, the Internet is freaking out:

While everybody else is cracking their neck muscle to cover Adele’s Hello, these two musical Gurus decided to make a joke out of it.
Lets say their version is based on our occasionally faulty tele communication networks. Watch Timi’s Ig post below:

Adele looked chic as she stepped out in all black in New York.
The Hello hitmaker snuggled into her scarf and opted for a long black coat, leggings a matching top and trainers.
She wore her hair tied back and popped on a pair of shades as she strolled across a busy street and kept hold of her purse.
The 27-year-old star was also spotted posing for a photographs outside of her hotel and signing autographs for fans.
Meanwhile, she has admitted material on her new album 25 IS about the ex-boyfriend who she wrote about for her last break-up records.
The global star, who is now with charity owner Simon Konecki, 41, says it’s down to him that she could finally let go of the mystery love who broke her heart and inspired hit albums 19 and 21.
According to The Sun newspaper, her ex is believed to be photographer Alex Sturrock, and the song Someone Like You was about their romance.
Adele added that she’s repeatedly turned down endorsements including a car, fitness range and even candles.
She said: “I don’t want to endorse a line of nail varnishes. A million pounds to sing at your birthday party? I’d rather do it for free.”
British singer, Adele, has smashed Taylor Swift’s VEVO record for the most views during the first 24 hours, with new music video “Hello” achieving a whopping 27.7 million streams in the time frame.
That’s over 7 million more than the previous record holder, which was Taylor’s ‘Bad Blood’ at 20.1 million views.
