Jack Harlow Allegedly Told 2023 Met Gala Press “I’m On Shrooms” To Avoid Interviews

by

Fresh off the release of his latest album Jackman, Jack Harlow might be riding a few different highs at the moment. Moreover, the Louisville rapper recently appeared in Tommy Hilfiger luxury at the 2023 Met Gala, but there’s a twist. According to a New York Times reporter, Harlow allegedly mouthed “I’m on shrooms” to press at the event who tried to speak with him. Even though he showed up on the red carpet, he didn’t talk to many media people there (except apparently Emma Chamberlain, who hosted for Vogue). During their conversation, he reportedly came across as completely coherent.

Furthermore, this is made even odder by the fact that the 25-year-old has been a big advocate for sobriety in recent years. As such, many fans can’t believe that Jack Harlow was actually on shrooms for the event. In addition, he has a lot of things to promote and talk about at the moment, so why would he not want to talk to press about it? All in all, this is still an unconfirmed, albeit slightly hilarious, piece of gossip floating around. Still, it does come from one of the top news sources in the world.

Jack Harlow Allegedly Said He Was On Shrooms To Avoid The Press

What’s more is that the upward trajectory that the “They Don’t Love It” rapper has displayed must signify a deeper reason for his alleged choice. For example, he has a new starring role on the way for the reboot of White Men Can’t Jump. In addition, Jackman garnered a lot of buzz among critics and fans alike for its stripped-back and more classically hip-hop approach compared to his previous work. Regardless, it seems like Jack Harlow just wasn’t feeling it on Monday (May 1) to indulge in some clips for the media.

In fact, there might be something on his latest album that is driving his choice, which is what sent fans and naysayers into a frenzy. On the aforementioned “They Don’t Love It,” he labeled himself as the hardest white rapper since Eminem. Moreover, considering how explosively those statements tend to land with fans and the press alike, maybe he predicted an onslaught of pushback. However, at the end of the day, we can’t expect for artists to always be at the whim of their audiences or the press, and that has to be respected. Regardless, check out snaps of Jack Harlow at the 2023 Met Gala below and return to HNHH for more on these topics.

Diddy might’ve had a lot of sex advice for James Corden on Carpool Karaoke. But do you know what else the entertainer has a lot of? Businesses. During his recent surprise appearance at the music festival, Something In The Water, he presented his vodka company, Ciroc. On Monday, May 1, the producer used his appearance at the 2023 Met Gala to promote his clothing brand, Sean John.

While being interviewed by his longtime friend, actress Lala, Diddy was asked to detail his look for the evening. “This is Sean John’s [Met Gala] debut, as you can see. First time I designed in 10 years, and we’re feeling good,” he said.

Diddy also told Lala that the look was designed along with his longtime collaborator and respected stylist and designer, June Ambrose.

Back in 2016, Diddy sold a majority stake in the company to Global Brands Group Holding Ltd. However, in July 2021, the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, resulting in the brand and its other assets being auctioned.

Now, according to Forbes, Diddy recently won his bid to regain a majority stake. During the earlier 2000s, the brand gained mainstream popularity and was prominently placed throughout several of his music videos. Diddy was also photographed wearing the line at many hip-hop events.

Jack Harlow is riding high off the release of his new album Jackman. However, one reporter is alleging that the “They Don’t Love It” rapper’s elevated state isn’t just figurative.

On Monday, May 1, Harlow slipped into his best Tommy Hilfiger threads to attend fashion’s biggest night, the annual Met Gala. Although he didn’t hit the red carpet to show off his look for the evening, he didn’t stop to speak with many of the media correspondents. With a new film, the reboot of White Men Can’t Jump, slated to drop soon and a new album out, fans were curious as to why the entertainer would capitalize on the attention.

However, New York Times reporter Jessica Testa claimed that despite reporters’ attempts “to get Jack Harlow to stop on the carpet. He pointed at his forehead and mouthed: ‘I’m on shrooms.’”

Harlow did stop take a moment reunite with Emma Chamberlain, who was doing hosting work for Vogue. Although the exchange was brief, Harlow seemed perfectly coherent.

Harlow’s lack of desire to speak with the press could instead be related to his latest claim in his words, “being the best white rapper since Eminem,” which created quite the frenzy online.

Jackman is out now on Generation Now/Atlantic. Get it here.

Jack Harlow is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Zaytoven Reveals His Twitter Was Hacked Amid Fake “Beast Mode 3” With Future Tease

by

Well, it was too good to be true, wasn’t it? After word quickly spread of Zaytoven announcing Beast Mode 3 with Future, the producer took to Instagram to pump the brakes. Moreover, he revealed that someone hacked his Twitter and urged his fans to not believe anything the account is saying. While they gained hope that a trailer meant the collaborative series’ next installment was coming this year, fans now have to deal with that disappointment. In his message concerning the fake news, the Atlanta beatsmith expressed confusion as to how this could’ve happened.

“Hey, do not believe what’s going on on Twitter,” Zaytoven remarked in a video on his Instagram Story. “I don’t know who done hacked my Twitter and what they doing, I don’t know how they got what they got or why they’re saying what they’re saying. But do not believe my Twitter right now. I’m working to get it back. So, PSA, alright? I’m working on it.” In a prior IG Story post, he wrote: “My Twitter has been hacked. Don’t believe what’s being posted.” Still, this wouldn’t be the first time that he teased another Future collab album.

Zaytoven Got Hacked, And Beast Mode 3 With Future Is Seemingly Fake News

However, looking back, this news came amid a lot of previous reports that Future is working on joint projects with other producers. One of the most notable announced team-ups is his upcoming tape with Metro Boomin, who already updated fans on its status multiple times. As such, perhaps it was vain to think that we would be getting a whole lot more from the “HOLY GHOST” MC this year, but it wouldn’t be out of character, either. After all, Hendrix went on very prolific runs throughout his career, as did Zaytoven with his production work.

Meanwhile, we should at least be expecting something from the producer soon, as he promised new music after selling his catalog. Whether that’s with Pluto or other artists, only time will tell, but his credentials should inspire a lot of anticipation. Even though fans are hoping this is all one big PR stunt, it seems like dreams don’t always come true. Apologies for the earlier false coverage. Regardless, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates from Zaytoven and Future.

Rihanna & A$AP Rocky Light Up The 2023 Met Gala After He Climbed Over Crowd

by

After a lot of speculation on their outfits, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky finally arrived to the 2023 Met Gala. Of course, they came through with impeccable style and beauty, with the couple usually turning heads for their fits even without a gala as their backdrop. Moreover, RiRi wore a stunning white dress adorned with white flowers all over her, which she even used as a large hood of sorts covering her head. Still, she draped them down afterwards for a more classic yet nonetheless elegant look. Meanwhile, the A$AP Mob frontman dressed in a classic black suit and tie with a white shirt, donning bedazzled jeans as well.

Also, he wore a red flannel skirt over his jeans (as a tribute to Karl Lagerfeld) and showed off various Gucci belts. As some of the most anticipated guests at the event, Rihanna and her boo joined the ranks of astonishing ensembles at the Gala. However, they went viral a little before their arrival for an odd reason. While trying to get past a crowd outside their hotel, A$AP Rocky stepped on a woman’s face to climb over the barricade.

A$AP Rocky Steps On Crowd To Get To His & Rihanna’s Hotel

Regardless of his desperate measures, the couple’s sense of style and their wholesome family dynamic made them one of the most talked-about stars even without being on the red carpet. Not only that, but rumors of Rihanna’s potential outfit included claims that she toyed with $25 million worth of Cartier jewels for her fitting. Even though her final fit doesn’t seem to feature these prominently, she still rocked a lot of bling. Still, it’s about as extravagant and lavish of an idea as we’d expect from the “Diamonds” singer. Maybe that’s what A$AP Rocky adorned his jeans with.

Meanwhile, it seems like their luxurious style at the 2023 Met Gala matched nicely with one of the Barbadian singer’s most recent huge accomplishments. Furthermore, she officially has her first diamond record in the form of “We Found Love,” a collab with Calvin Harris. That was long overdue, but whether it’s with diamonds or not, it’s clear from her artistry and looks that she has a lot more to shine with. Take a look at more snaps of Rihanna and A$AP Rocky at the 2023 Met Gala below. Also, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on the star couple and this star-studded event.
