Fans who have yet to secure their tickets to see Coi Leray on tour are in luck, as the New Jersey artist has pushed back her tour supporting her debut album Trendsetter to kick off on June 10 at Governor’s Ball in New York City. The Monster Energy Outbreak Tour Presents: Coi Leray Trendsetter Tour was originally set to launch on May 31 in San Francisco, but like everything in the music industry, plans changed. No reasoning has been provided, but the 25-year-old is excited nonetheless.

“Trendsetter the album, now Trendsetter the tour! I can’t wait to bring my new album to life on stage every night with Monster Energy Outbreak. Y’all better be ready!” the artist said. It is especially exciting for her as the additions to the tour include international stops in Amsterdam, Portugal, and Ireland plus more domestic stops in Chicago, Detroit, Nashville, and more with a final stop in San Diego on August 25. If that isn’t enough, Coi Leray will be appearing at a slew of festivals, namely Houston Pride, Lollapalooza, and Metro Metro Festival.

Trendsetter was released back in April of this year led by the singles “Twinnem,” “Anxiety,” “Blick Blick” featuring Nicki Minaj, the “No More Parties” remix with Lil Durk, and massively popular “Big Purr” alongside Pooh Shiesty. Trendsetter set the record for the biggest first week for a debut album by a female hip-hop artist in the United States this year.

Yak Gotti Refutes Rumors Claiming He Snitched On YSL

by

As many hip-hop fans know all too well already, Young Thug, Gunna, and a plethora of other YSL members are currently in prison on RICO charges. The people implicated in all of this could go to jail for a very long time if convicted, and it seems like law enforcement is trying to make an example out of YSL.

There is a lot of outrage surrounding this case, and fans have resorted to finger pointing as they look to get to the bottom of how such an investigation could have been this successful. This past week, Yak Gotti has been in the crosshairs as many rumors have him implicated as some sort of informant. The rumor is that Gotti helped prosecutors with building their case, and as you can imagine, Gotti is not a fan of what is being said about him.

The artist took to his Instagram story recently where he was very adamant that he had nothing to do with the investigation. In fact, Gotti even harkened back to a previous time in which he stayed solid for his family.

“2015 my brudda never did a day in jail because I claimed my shit,” he wrote. “I did 4 years Fed with no tears. Stop the cap.”

This remains a developing story so stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest updates on the case.

Lonzo Ball’s Status Ahead Of Next Season Gets Somber Update

by

Lonzo Ball was having a truly incredible season with the Chicago Bulls this past year. He was all over the court and he showed people that he can be a top tier point guard in the NBA. From his improved shooting to his defense, there is no doubt that Lonzo could have taken this Bulls deep into the playoffs.

Unfortunately, an ill-timed knee injury proved to be a huge burden on his season. The injury required surgery on his meniscus, and since then, there has been a lot of speculation about his recovery, or lack there of. There is this sense that Lonzo isn’t getting better, and the team is worried about what this could mean going into next season.

In a new report from The Athletic, it was stated that there is “concern by the week” and that some within the Bulls don’t think Lonzo will be ready by the time the season starts. His injury just won’t improve and he might even need a second surgery. It is the worst thing that could happen to the Bulls especially since they might lose Zach LaVine in free agency.

This is a developing story so stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest news and updates from around the basketball world.
