Travis Scott Stops Concert To Lecture Stage-Rushing Fan: Watch

by

Travis Scott showed that he had learned from the tragedies of his past as he stopped a show to lecture a fan who tried to rush the stage at his recent show. “Ragin’ ain’t runnin’. If you runnin’ down here, that ain’t ragin’. Ragin’ is ragin’. Get back out there before one of these n-ggas knock your lights out. You get what I’m sayin’?” Scott told the fan before sending him back into the crowd. The rest of the audience proceeded to show the admonished fan what “ragin” actually looked like.

Of course, Scott is particularly sensitive to the dangers of a fan rush following the infamous AstroWorld tragedy. It’s not the first time that Scott has admonished a fan on the current Circus Maximus tour. While in Austin, Scott chose to rage alongside a fan who rushed the stage. However, he did give the fan a talking to before deciding to indulge them. Despite these hiccups, the Circus Maximus tour has proven to be a massive success for Scott. It recently included a surprise appearance from Kanye West and may result in a new album being released.

Nick Saban Golfs With 50 Cent And Travis Scott

Meanwhile, Nick Saban is clearly enjoying retirement as he teamed up with Scott and 50 Cent at a charity golf event last weekend. Saban hit the links in Palm Beach as part of the Mr. October Celebrity Golf Classic. Hosted by former MLB superstar Reggie Jackson (Mr. October), Saban’s pairing for the event was Fif and Scott. The event raised over $1M for Jackson’s foundation, which helps acquire STEM funding.

Saban is an avid golfer and has been throughout his tenured coaching career. He is neighbors with Tiger Woods after purchasing a property in Jupiter, Florida last year. Furthermore, he is also the partial owner of the Waterall Club, a private golf community in Clayton, Georgia. However, there’s no immediate information on what the trio shot on the Palm Beach course.

Lizzo’s Request To Have The Sexual Harassment Case Dismissed Has Been Denied By Judge

It appears Lizzo’s plans to release new music could be delayed. According to Billboard, the “Bad Day” singer’s free time might be spent fighting to clear her name. Back in August 2023, Lizzo’s former dancers filed an explosive lawsuit against the singer, alleging that while on the road with her, they endured a hostile work environment and experienced sexual harassment.

Since then, Lizzo and the three ex-employees have pleaded their cases with the judge overseeing the case. By October, Lizzo’s legal team requested that the case be dismissed, citing the anti-SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) statute. Based on reports from Billboard, the judge has denied Lizzo’s request for a dismissal. This means the case could go to trial.

After Lizzo’s initial request to dismiss the case, her team reportedly also filed to have the case sealed. It’s unclear if the judge has issued a final decision regarding that request.

Lizzo maintains her innocence on all accounts, denying the claims iIn a statement. “Usually, I choose not to respond to false allegations, but these are as unbelievable as they sound and too outrageous to not be addressed,” she wrote. “These sensationalized stories are coming from former employees who have already publicly admitted that they were told their behavior on tour was inappropriate and unprofessional.”

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

Old Clips Of Ayo Edebiri Dissing Jennifer Lopez Resurfaced As The Two Are Set To Appear On ‘SNL’ Together

by

The good news: Not only is Ayo Edebiri hosting SNL for the first time, but the musical guest is no less than Jennifer Lopez. The bad: They might have had to talk about Edebiri insulting Lopez a few years back. Ahead of this week’s episode, an old clip of the now-Emmy-winner and former Thunderbolts cast member dissing the Grammy nominee resurfaced, and they’re not great.

Per Page Six, Edebiri appeared on the podcast Scam Goddess back in 2020. It was two years before The Bear made her a big star, and she clearly felt comfortable running her mouth about Lopez, even disseminating a conspiracy theory.

“She thinks she’s on multiple tracks, but it’s not her,” Edebiri said at the time, referring to a rumor that Lopez uses ghost singers. “I think she thinks that she’s still good even though she’s not singing for most of these songs.”

Edebiri went on. “A lot of the write-ups of the songs will be like, ‘J. Lo didn’t have time to make it to the studio,’ like, ‘J. Lo was busy,’” she said. “It’s like, ‘Doing what?’

She concluded that Lopez’s musical career is “one long scam.”

Neither Edebiri nor Lopez have addressed the comments. In the SNL promo, which you can watch above, they seem extra chummy.

“I’m really excited, I love your show,” Lopez told Edebiri, presumably referring to The Bear.

Edebiri replied, “I love your everything.”

Perhaps the two have buried the hatchet. One hopes, because otherwise things could get awkward.

Zacari Wants To Stick By His Woman’s Side On “Ocean”

by

Right at the start of 2024, we had a feeling that this year would be a much busier year for hip-hop/R&B music. 2023 had its fair share of highlights for sure. However, the hype was not always there, and many were banking on the mainstream to pull through. That was not the case, but things are looking better than ever for the genre. TDE is contributing heavily to the excitement, and so is Zacari.

The Bakersfield, California singer has been teasing his sophomore LP, Stereo Miracle, for nearly one year to the day. “Motions” got things in motion (pun intended) on February 10. Then, Zacari would go on to collaborate with fellow R&B singer Ty Dolla $ign for “Ave Maria” back in October. Both singles are shaping this next album to be a solid one for Zacari.

Listen To “Ocean” By Zacari

On the Genius page, the tracklist is also seemingly revealed for all to see. However, sometimes things change and they are not always accurate. Which is why “Ocean,” Zacari’s latest single, could still make the cut. The sound of the track sounds like it would fit right at home on this next LP. It has a laid-back feel with him penning a song about wanting his energy to stay with the woman he is seeing. Sort of like how the waves from the ocean crash onto the coast. He wants to keep coming back for more.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single, “Ocean,” by Zachary? Is this the best song from the Stereo Miracle rollout? Will this be the best TDE album of 2024, why or why not? Who do you want to see on the album and why? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below.

Ashanti & Nelly Fuel Pregnancy Rumors With Miami Performance

by

At the end of last year, Us reported that Nelly and Ashanti were expecting their first child together, claiming that a source close to the pair shared the exciting news. Neither of them have confirmed these reports, though Ashanti did put her hand over her stomach during a performance in December, seemingly indicating a growing bump. Nelly did the same before the couple broke out into laughter, leaving fans to speculate.

Since then, Ashanti has been stepping out in some stunning, yet uncharacteristically oversized fits. Recently, for example, she performed with Ja Rule in a loosely fitting t-shirt. Now, she’s been spotted once again at an event wearing a look that would conveniently obscure any signs that a little one is on the way.

Nelly & Ashanti Get Wild In Miami

The event in question was hosted in Miami yesterday (February 2), in honor of the 10th anniversary of E11EVEN. The lovebirds graced the stage, performing hits like “Body On Me,” and more. Ashanti rocked a bright pink oversized Balenciaga t-shirt, which she complimented with a pair of similarly vivid boots and some shades. At one point in the evening, Fat Joe even joined Ashanti for a performance of “What’s Luv?” He takes credit for the artists’ reunion, telling fans on Instagram Live last month that it wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for him.

“I immediately tell them I need 10 percent of this kid because if it wasn’t for Verzuz, that I brought Nelly out [during] me against Ja Rule, that’s when they saw each other and energy connected again,” he explained. “That’s when he said I gotta have her. He was over there contemplating; he really wanted to go over there.” What do you think of rumors that Nelly and Ashanti are expecting their first child together? Do you think her loosely fitting top proves anything, or are fans overthinking it? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Ice Spice Accused Of Fat-Phobia By Fans After Response To Twitter User

by

Whenever Ice Spice is met with either fair or exaggerated criticism online, she always knows exactly how to effectively clap back… for the most part. Still, given her most recent response to a Twitter user, fans expressed disappointment in her choice of retaliation. “Either let her work with someone who can help with her performing and stage presence or send her back to the Bronx. Pls,” the critical listener captioned a video of the New York rapper performing her latest single, “Think U The S**t (Fart).” Then, she retorted with, “while we’re being constructive-” and posted a picture of the woman who roasted her live show, specifically a mirror selfie.

Furthermore, in comparison to Ice Spice’s other clapbacks, many fans took issue with the lack of clarity here. Is she insulting her looks, her outfit, her body, her camera angles… or is it all of the above? In any circumstance, some folks thought the 24-year-old took things too far and might even be fat-phobic if she meant it as a dig to her body. Perhaps she didn’t take this seriously in the first place and just wanted to troll a fan, but it’s fair to say there are much better ways to make your message clear without it being at the expense of someone’s physical appearance.

Ice Spice Draws Backlash From Fans After Mocking Twitter User (See Comments)

For example, Ice Spice could’ve just specifically roasted the outfit or photo angle, but instead, the vagueness leaves a lot of room for negative interpretation. In fact, she should probably focus that energy on her alleged rap opponents instead of towards potential fans who just want quality entertainment and don’t deserve the smoke. Of these potential match-ups, the “Deli” hitmaker’s current big target seems to be Latto thanks to speculation over back-and-forths via song snippets and social media responses. It’s all just in the rumor mill for now, but if something concrete happens, it’ll surely cause pandemonium in the rap game.

Meanwhile, with her new album Y2K set to drop later this year, there’s no telling where she’ll take things next. Will the Batman to RIOTUSA’s Robin keep working with their Jersey drill sound or will this be a new artistic leap with plenty of smoke to spare? Drop your predictions in the comments section down below. As always, keep checking in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Ice Spice.
