Dressing up as the iconic couple, Halle Bailey and DDG perfectly captured the essence of Whitney and Bobby, complete with the unforgettable style and grace that characterized their era.

By donning these personas, the artists not only showcased their admiration for the legendary figures but also highlighted the timeless impact of Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown on music and pop culture. Their tribute serves as a testament to the enduring influence of these iconic artists, even in a new generation.

Y’all are SERVING this Halloween!” one person commented. “The 7th photo is tripping me out. I thought it was the original photo for inspo and then I swiped over and literally spit my coffee out. These are so good,” another said. Halloween can be more than just a spooky holiday; it can be an opportunity to pay tribute to those who’ve left an indelible mark on our lives.

The Game’s Daughter Dons Crop Top For Halloween, Critics Suggest Teen Looks “Too Grown For Her Age”

October 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Besides being a legendary rapper, The Game (born Jayceon Terrell Taylor), is also a father of three – two sons, and a daughter. It’s hard to deny that the West Coast artist is closest with his little girl, California Dream, as she frequently appears on his Instagram. The pair spend plenty of their free time together as a father-daughter duo, and Game is always full of compliments for the 13-year-old – particularly regarding how beautiful she is. For Halloween today (October 31), the “Hate It Or Love It” hitmaker was proud to show off the teen in her sporty costume of the evening, though not all of his followers approve.

“Happy Halloween or whatever… I don’t know what I did, but the good lord is really paying me back through my only daughter. I love this girl with all my heart,” the Compton native gushed. “She is my world…. And as tall, beautiful & as smart as she is…. I miss my little baby who had a lisp & couldn’t dance to save her life lmaooo.” According to Cali’s dad, this is the first year he allowed her to pick her own costume, which she happily collected from Fashion Nova “with her mom’s card.”

While The Game feels that his growing daughter “kept it cute” in her midriff-baring look, haters online beg to differ. “Yeah no. Too grown for her age,” one IG user wrote in @hollywoodunlocked’s comment section. “13?! Dressed like this?!” another asked in shock. “This is keeping it cute for a 16/17 year old, NOT 13.”

“I know millennials not in these comments like y’all didn’t sneak crop tops and short skirts out the house and change at your destination,” someone else pointed out in California’s defense. “How y’all be getting on social acting so holy like we wasn’t 13 before?”

Some Express Concern About Teen’s Crop Top Costume

“Better to allow it than for her to sneak and change later ,” one user seeing things from The Game’s perspective wrote. Do you think California Dream’s crop top costume makes her look too grown? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Tkay Maidza Net Worth 2023: What Is The Rapper Worth?

October 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In the ever-evolving world of music, few artists have made as significant an impact on the Australian hip-hop scene as Tkay Maidza. As of 2023, this Zimbabwean-born Australian rapper’s net worth stands at an impressive $5 million, according to AllFamousBirthday. But how did she amass such wealth, and what’s the story behind her rise to fame?

Born Takudzwa Victoria Rosa Maidza on December 17, 1995, in Zimbabwe, Tkay’s journey to stardom began at a young age. Her family relocated to Australia when she was just five, providing her with a diverse cultural backdrop that would later influence her music. Interestingly, both of her parents had scientific backgrounds, with her father being an industrial chemist and her mother a metallurgist.

A Rising Star In The Music Industry

Tkay’s foray into the music world began with her debut single “Brontosaurus” in 2013, released when she was only 17. This track quickly caught the attention of Australian radio airwaves, marking her as a promising new talent. Following this, she gained recognition for her 2014 hits “U-huh” and “Switch Lanes.” The latter even made its way to the 2014 Triple J Hottest 100 chart, securing the 100th spot.

Her collaboration with Troye Sivan on “DKLA” in 2015 and with Yung Baby Tate on “Kim” further solidified her position in the industry. Over the years, she has graced various Australian festivals, including a memorable performance at the St. Jerome’s Laneway Festival in 2015, where she stepped in for singer Lykke Li on short notice.

The Secret Behind Her Success

One of the key factors contributing to Tkay’s success is her unique blend of genres and her ability to resonate with a wide audience. While primarily known as a rapper, her music transcends traditional boundaries, drawing inspiration from various sources and producing bodies of work like Last Year Was Weird Vol. 3.

Her educational background is also noteworthy. Despite her early success in music, Tkay didn’t abandon her studies. She graduated from high school at the age of 16 and even began studying architecture at the University of South Australia. However, her passion for music eventually took center stage, leading her to focus solely on her budding career.

Tkay Maidza’s Personal Life

While much of Tkay’s life is in the limelight, she keeps some aspects private. As of January 12, 2023, records indicate that she is possibly single and not currently dating anyone. This focus on her personal privacy allows her to maintain a balance between her public persona and her private life.

Conclusion

Tkay Maidza’s net worth of $5 million in 2023 is a testament to her talent, hard work, and dedication to her craft. From her early days in Zimbabwe to her rise in the Australian music scene, she has consistently showcased her versatility and unique voice. As she continues to evolve and grow as an artist, there’s no doubt that her influence on the music industry will only become more pronounced. With such a promising career ahead, fans and critics alike eagerly await what the future holds for this talented rapper.

French Montana’s Jet Searched For Contraband In Colombia

October 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Globally acclaimed rapper and hip-hop artist French Montana recently found himself in an unexpected situation during his visit to Colombia. He took to social media to share an intriguing video that captured the moment his private jet was subjected to a thorough search by Colombian authorities. In the video, French Montana humorously addressed the situation, stating, “Colombia, I love y’all, but y’all ain’t have to do me like this. You know we Coke Boys, but we ain’t Coke Boys like that.” The reference to “Coke Boys” is a nod to his rap group, but it also carries a connotation linked to the illicit drug trade, a common association with Colombia. In the video, French Montana seemed to take the incident in stride, expressing understanding while playfully making light of the situation. He even mentioned the state of strip clubs in the area, jokingly alluding to the reason for search.

“I know y’all seen the strip clubs all f**ked up,” he said. “They thought I was comin’ to save the streets bringing a big load.” Despite the lighthearted tone, he emphasized that the authorities found nothing illegal. “They ain’t find nothing though, we good!”

Further, French Montana shared pics that depicted him standing alongside a narcotics dog and a security agent next to his private jet. The image added an element of authenticity to the situation. He posed for the pic, smiling wide. French Montana’s willingness to share the experience on social media demonstrates his transparency with his fans, showcasing both the humor and the reality of his life as a global celebrity.

Young Thug’s Jury Selection Is Tomorrow, Trial Set For November As D.A. Fani Willis Faces Threats

October 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It’s been a hot minute since any major updates regarding Young Thug’s future have come out of Atlanta. However, on Tuesday (October 31) evening, it was confirmed that his trial isn’t far off from starting. After spending the better part of 2023 hunting down a suitable pool of 50 jury candidates, on Wednesday, 12 of them will be picked (along with six alternates) to listen to prosecutor Fani Willis and her team’s RICO case against YSL.

Journalist Jozsef Papp shared the update via Twitter. He specifically noted November 27 as the planned start date for the highly anticipated trial. Thug has been showered with support from longtime friends, collaborators, and fans while behind bars. Still, this time likely hasn’t been easy on his mental health. Seeing as he’s sitting with several co-defendants, it’s likely the legal proceedings will stretch on for some time. Nevertheless, Thugger remains confident in his ability to return home with a clean name.

Young Thug Finally Gets Good News

As he keeps himself occupied by playing Candy Crush behind bars, AllHipHop reports that Willis is facing concerning threats thanks to ongoing cases with both Thug and former POTUS, Donald Trump. The Fulton County DA claims to be receiving “hundreds” of inappropriate messages daily. Her staff is working overtime to track down the aggressors.

One of them, an Alabama resident named Arthur Ray Hansen II, has even been indicted thanks to his threats aimed at Willis and Patrick Labat, the local sheriff. “If you think you gonna take a mugshot of my President Donald Trump and it’s gonna be ok, you gonna find out that after you take that mugshot, some bad s**t probably gonna happen to you,” one voicemail the latter received says, according to the indictment.

Prosecutor Fani Willis Facing Threats from MAGA Supporters

Unfortunately, they’ve become accustomed to messages like this and have even received similar ones from Young Thug’s fans in the past. Are you looking forward to keeping up with the YSL RICO trial? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Ciara Recreates Iconic Nicki Minaj Look For Halloween

October 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Halloween is that time of the year when celebrities pull out all the stops to showcase their creativity in the realm of costumes. This year, Ciara, the multi-talented artist known for her music and dance moves, stole the spotlight with her impeccable portrayal of Nicki Minaj in the “Y.U. Mad” video. The “Y.U. Mad” video, featuring Nicki Minaj, was a sensation when it was released, with its bold fashion choices and catchy beats. Ciara decided to pay homage to the iconic rapper by recreating one of her most memorable looks from the video. Ciara donned a costume that mirrored Nicki’s outfit in the video, complete with camo pants, a white tank top, a vibrant pink furry hat, panda slippers, and, to top it all off, a set of blonde locs with the tips dyed a striking shade of pink.

Overall, it looked just like Nicki! The attention to detail in Ciara’s costume was nothing short of impressive. The camo pants and white tank top were spot-on, capturing the essence of Nicki’s signature style. The pink furry hat, a hallmark of the video, added a playful and eye-catching element to the ensemble. The hat was actually worn by Lil Wayne in the video, but nonetheless it got the point across. But the real showstopper was Ciara’s choice of footwear – panda slippers that brought a humorous and endearing twist to the outfit. Ciara is currently pregnant with her fourth child, so comfort was essential here.

Mad” video was met with widespread acclaim on social media. “She’s been paying homage to Nicki Minaj for a long time, that’s so dope,” one fan pointed out. “She ate,” another fan simply said.

Ciara’s costume serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of music and fashion on pop culture.
