The appearance from Swift comes after Kelce was spotted leaving her apartment, earlier in the day after a sleepover. The star tight end finally opened up about their relationship during a recent episode of his and his brother Jason’s podcast, New Heights. “Shout out to Taylor for pullin’ up; that was pretty ballsy, that was pretty ballsy, yeah. I just thought it was awesome how everybody in the suite had nothing but great things to say about her. You know?” Kelce said.

He further said: “The friends, the family. She looked amazing. Everybody was talking about her in a great light. And on top of that, the day went perfect for Chiefs fans, of course. We script it all, ladies and gentlemen. It was just impressive. It was impressive. To see the slow-motion chest bumps, to see the high-fives with mom, to see how, you know, Chiefs kingdom was all excited that she was there, that sh*t was absolutely hysterical, and it was definitely a game I’ll remember, that’s for damn sure.” Check out Swift at his latest game above.

Kanye West slammed Nas and Pusha T in a newly leaked clip taken from a never-before-released documentary. The resurfaced video has been circulating on social media over the weekend. In it, Ye accused the artists of trying to use him for their collaborations with West back in 2018.

“The f*ck I’m doing giving (‘Gonna Love You’) to f*cking Teyana? What the f*ck I’m doing giving that DAYTONA album to Pusha?” he says, as noted by Hip-Hop-N-More. “That sh*t was three Dark Fantasies that I gave away. ‘Cops Shot The Kid’, Nas rapping all God damn offbeat on it, don’t even wanna shoot a video, then shoot the video, don’t even tell me. These motherf*ckers don’t appreciate me. All these motherf*ckers is trynna use me.”

In the time since the clip, Kanye produced half of Pusha’s It’s Almost Dry so it appears the two made amends afterward. Following West’s infamous antisemitism scandal in 2022, Pusha revealed that the two of them weren’t on speaking terms anymore.

“It’s beyond that and it’s nothing to tap dance around,” he told XXL at the time. “It’s wrong. Period. But to me, it’s just me and him having a difference of opinion yet again. ’Cause we done had this for years… He’s not speaking to me now. If you ain’t with it, you ain’t down. And I ain’t with it. I’m not budging on that. I’m not with it. I heard about this new stuff (on InfoWars). I don’t know. It’s something that just sort of tells me he’s not well, at the same time. I will say that. It’s going to places where it’s no way to move around it.“ Check out West’s resurfaced clip above.

Oliver Tree Gets Vulnerable On New Album “Alone In A Crowd”

by

Oliver Tree has returned with another LP, Alone In A Crowd. The new project follows his 2022 album, Cowboy Tears. Back in June, the 30-year-old performer gave listeners a taste of what was to come with “Bounce.” The romantic track is accompanied by an expectedly bizarre music video, directed by the Santa Cruz native himself.

He dropped off three more singles ahead of the release, “One & Only,” “Essence” feat. Super Computer, and “Fairweather Friends.” Each one is joined by a similarly surreal visual, and they’ve all already managed to rack up millions of views on YouTube alone.

Oliver Tree – “Fairweather Friends”

Listeners hear Oliver Tree embracing a variety of different flavors on his latest project, opening up on laid back tracks like “Highlight Of My Life,” while tapping elements of hip hop on songs such as “Fairweather Friends.” He explores themes of love, heartbreak, and feeling like an outcast on Alone In A Crowd, recruiting the help of Super Computer and Robin Schulz.

At the end of September, Oliver Tree spoke to NPR about the new release, revealing that the project was built around a fictional character he created, “Cornelius Cummings.” He explained that he drew inspiration from his whirlwind success, pulling themes of alienation from his own lived experiences. “I became incredibly lonely,” he said of his hasty rise to fame. “I felt isolated, Rapunzel-ed (ph). It wasn’t actually a really healthy experience. Whether it’s tons of praise or tons of negativity, there’s nothing healthy about that for the psyche.” What do you think of Alone In A Crowd? What songs will you be adding to your playlist? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Oliver Tree.

Alone In A Crowd Tracklist:

1. Bounce
2. One & Only
3. Essence (ft. Super Computer)
4. Star
5. Fairweather Friends
6. Smile
7. Ugly Side
8. Highlight Of My Life

Mattel CEO Promises “Barney” Won’t Be An “Odd Movie”

by

Mattel CEO Ynon Kreiz says the upcoming Barney film won’t be an “odd movie.” The clarification comes after Mattel Films executive Kevin McKeon revealed that Barney would be “surrealistic” and lean into adults “millennial angst.”

Speaking with Semafor for an interview on Saturday, Kreiz explained: “It’s too early to be specific, but I can tell you we are taking a fresh approach that will be fun, entertaining and culturally oriented. It will not be an odd movie.” The film is just one of several adaptations the company is working on, including American Girl Doll and Hot Wheels.

As for McKeon’s previous comments, he had been speaking about the film with The New Yorker in June. “It’s really a play for adults. Not that it’s R-rated, but it’ll focus on some of the trials and tribulations of being thirtysomething, growing up with Barney—just the level of disenchantment within the generation,” he said at the time. He also described it as an “A24-type” movie. The film will star Daniel Kaluuya. “Barney was a ubiquitous figure in many of our childhoods, then he disappeared into the shadows, left misunderstood,” Kaluuya said when it was announced in November 2019. “We’re excited to explore this compelling modern-day hero and see if his message of ‘I love you, you love me’ can stand the test of time.” Earlier this year, he added to Yahoo Entertainment: “The script’s gotta be good, you know what I mean? It’s in development. I ask for high standards on anything that I work on, and I’m producing this one, so it’s still in development.”

The Barney film will arrive after Mattel Films found massive success with Barbie, earlier this year. The film crossed the $1 billion mark worldwide at the box office on August 6, 2023. The feat made it the first film by a solo female director to do so. Be on the lookout for further updates on Barney on HotNewHipHop.

Bad Bunny & Kendall Jenner Seemingly Confirmed Their Relationship Status With An Extravagant Joint Gucci Campaign

The dreaded day for fans fawning over “Enséñame a Bailar” musician Bad Bunny has arrived. After months of speculation, it appears as if Bad Bunny is ready to reveal his current relationship status. The Grammy Award-winning entertainer seemingly confirmed his long-rumored romance with model and reality television star Kendall Jenner in a rather extravagant Kardashian-Jenner way.

The pair were cozy as they posed for fashion house Gucci’s latest advertisement campaign for their Savoy collection. Their chemistry can’t be ignored. Earlier in the week, Bad Bunny’s music video for his latest song, “Un Preview,” included subtle nods to Jenner.

On September 12, during an interview with Vanity Fair, although Bad Bunny didn’t confirm the relationship, he did take a moment to address fans’ over-investment in the lives of public figures. Read his full response below.

[Fans] don’t know how you feel, they don’t know how you live, they don’t know anything, and I really don’t want them to know. I’m not really interested in clarifying anything because I have no commitment to clarify anything to anyone. I am clear, and my friend Jomar is clear, and my mother is clear. They are the only ones to whom I have to clarify anything.

As for Juliana Dominguez from Mississippi, I have nothing I need to clarify to her. Never. About anything. There are people who say that artists have to put up with it. I don’t have to accept anything and everything because I wanted to be an artist. At the end of the day, you listen to me because you want to. I don’t force you to.

“Let me just say this. I love Swizz. That’s my friend, that’s my brother. That’s my people. I just don’t care about no Verzuz. I don’t wanna be up there. And it’s no disrespect. I just don’t care. Like, I don’t need to say I had the hottest– I know I had some of the hottest records. I know I got a cr*zy catalog.”

As for who she would want to face if she did do the show, she added: “I mean there’s so many people that have great music out there. I mean, there’s so many women that have just catalogs, you know. So, I don’t like the putting everybody up against each other. I don’t like it, I mean, I could just put my shit on and just walk away. I could put the What’s The 411 album on and just walk away.” Check out Blige’s full comments on Verzuz below.

It’s not the first time Blige has turned down the idea of appearing on Verzuz. She echoed similar sentiments on The Breakfast Club back in 2021. “I don’t know what a Verzuz would do for me,” she said at the time. “I’m not sure what a Verzuz could do for Mary J. Blige right now, but um, right now, it’s not something that’s on the top of my list.” Swizz Beatz and Timbaland are currently gearing up for a return to the iconic show.

Thanks to her Dunkin culinary collaboration, “Deli” rapper Ice Spice is all about sweet pumpkin treats. However, burnt buns were almost on the menu during her recent show. As Ice Spice prepares to hit the road with Doja Cat for The Scarlet Tour next month, she’s finishing up her prior bookings. Yesterday (September 30), while performing in Sydney, Australia, for the 2023 Listen Out Music festival, things unexpectedly heated up.

When Ice Spice began to get in position for her now signature twerk move, the onstage special effects nearly injured her. The pyrotechnics shot off dangerously close to Ice Spice’s backside in a sequence of blasts. Ice Spice seemed unphased the first two times that the pyro cannon went off. However, the final blast stopped her in the middle of the song “Princess Diana.” Fans captured the incident on video, to which you can see Ice Spice visually shaken up, then saying, “Hold up. Woah!”

Ice Spice reposted the clip to her Instagram page with the caption, “Swipe to see pyro take me the f*ck out.”

Knowing that she was safe once the video was shared, fans online began to chime in with jokes. View some of their response below.

Terry Crews Reflects On Financial Insecurity Following NFL Career

by

Terry Crews recently reflected on “feeling devastated” amid financial insecurities following his brief NFL career. Speaking on stage at the Chrysalis Butterfly Ball on Saturday night, he detailed his struggle with breaking into the entertainment industry. Crews had played for several teams in the NFL throughout the 1990s.

“After retiring from the NFL, I struggled to get to the next level where I wanted to be,” he admitted as noted by Variety. “I tried and failed many times to secure a job in entertainment, but there was no luck. And then my wife’s wedding ring took its fourth trip to the pawn shop. When that happened, she told me maybe it’s time you widen the search and do anything that could genuinely put food on the table.”

From there, he explained that he tried picking up manual labor jobs through a temp agency. “After spending the previous night searching the couch cushions for change, I made the humbling decision to go in and register to be placed as a temp somewhere, anywhere,” Crews shared. “The temp agency sent me to a factory and when I arrived I was unceremoniously handed a broom and told to sweep the entire factory. I did that for eight hours, earning $8 for each of those hours.”

He continued: “Now, my pride left me feeling devastated. But something else happened that allowed me to reshape my mindset bit by bit. At the end of the day, I was able to put gas in the car and food on our table. I went to sleep exhausted, but I would wake up ready to take charge of my life.” In the time since, Crews has gone on to host America’s Got Talent, while also starring in Brooklyn Nine-Nine, White Chicks, and more.

Snoop Dogg-Voiced Spam Calls Land Company In Legal Turmoil

by

Florida-based business management consultant Bottom Line Concepts has been hit with a lawsuit since they used Snoop Dogg’s voice in attempts to lure customers. Qiana Martin and her legal team claim she has suffered “concrete harm” from unsolicited spam calls boasting Employee Retention Credit refunds. Martin is seeking a minimum of $500 per call she’s received from the company, as well as the cost of her legal representation.

Depending on how things go and how many calls were placed, this could mean a major payday for Martin. Her team also says that she could be entitled to $1500 per call if they’re able to prove that the company’s actions were “knowing or willful.” The case has the potential to develop into a class action lawsuit, however, which lawyers claim would award each consumer the same payout if they win the case.

Woman Sues Over Unsolicited Phone Calls

“Slide on over to ERCENROLL.COM,” a voicemail provided by Martin encouraged unsuspecting listeners. “Let them know Snoop Dogg sent you and watch the magic happen. It’s all about getting what’s yours, baby. ERCENROLL.COM. They’re the real deal and they got that fast-track hook up y’all. Snoop Dogg stamp of approval, baby.” Snoop also added, “Peace out.”

Spam calling isn’t the only new realm Snoop Dogg’s gotten into lately. Recently, Mark Zuckerberg also announced that Meta will be launching a variety of A.I. chatbots based on several celebrity’s personas. Paris Hilton, Tom Brady, MrBeast, and of course Snoop, each have their own chatbots under way. His bot is described as a “Dungeon Master,” and encourages users to “choose [their] own adventure” with him. For now, fans will only get responses from A.I. Snoop in the form of text, but Zuckerberg says a voice feature could arrive as soon as 2024. What do you think of the lawsuit? Do you think it has the potential to also develop into a class action lawsuit? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Snoop Dogg.
