disinformation. As a self-proclaimed proud Cree woman, the Oscar-winning singer-songwriter and social activist has spent her entire career fighting for and focused on the issues facing Indigenous peoples in the United States and Canada.But a new blockbuster investigation by the Canadian Broadcast Corporation claims that Sainte-Marie is nothing but a fake.

Sainte-Marie, 82, claimed that she was born on a Piapot Cree reservation in Canada and was adopted by white parents as part of the country’s infamous Sixties Scoop in which Indigenous children were removed from their families and adopted by white families in a government policy of forced assimilation.But the recent CBC report cites a birth certificate that states the singer was born “Beverly Jean Santamaria” in Stoneham, Massachusetts to parents of European lineage.

What was I made for?In a new interview for Variety’s The Power of Women issue, the 21-year-old singer, who just scored Record of the Year and Song of the Year nominations for the “Barbie” behemoth “What Was I Made For?”, opened up about the heavy scrutiny her body has received over the past few years.“I have big boobs,” Eilish declared. “I’ve had big boobs since I was nine years old, and that’s just the way I am.

Country Music Association Awards — one of five awards he’s up for Wednesday night at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena — but he’s hardly fresh off the farm.In fact, the Antioch, Tennessee native, behind hits such as “Need a Favor” and current single “Save Me,” started his recording career as a rapper with the hip-hop group SNO, back in 2011 — long before making his country debut with the chart-topping “Son of a Sinner” in 2022.So really, the only thing “new” about the artist born Jason DeFord is his genre of choice.“There’s something poetic about a 39-year old man with a 300-song release catalog being nominated for the CMA New Artist award,” Jelly Roll told The Post on a break from award show rehearsals. “It encapsulates my feelings this week, whether I win it or not.”The music biz vet is the second most-nominated artist on Music City’s biggest night, trailing only Lainey Wilson — “My dance partner at country radio right now,” Jelly Roll points out — with whom he’s up for Musical Event of the Year, for “Save Me.” What’s more, the dude with the country music tradition-bucking tattooed face is also opening the festivities — singing Single of the Year nominee “Need a Favor.”“It’s the honor of all honors.

Chaka Khan and Missy Elliott — owned the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony on Friday night.After longtime Rolling Stone editor Jann Wenner was ousted from the hall’s board of directors in September — immediately after telling the New York Times that women and people of color weren’t “articulate” enough to be included in his “The Masters” book of artist interviews — it was a sure sign that times have finally changed at an institution ruled by white men since its inception in 1983.Forty years after Wenner helped found the organization — he also served as chairman from 2006 until 2019 — it was a sweet thing when Khan rocked Brooklyn’s Barclays Center with the night’s first real highlight.
