Tommy Richman & Kehlani Shine Bright On Our New “R&B Season” Playlist Update: Stream

by

Fall is officially upon us, and we have some fresh and exciting new music releases to round up on our latest R&B Season update. First up is the new project from Kehlani, following up her previous album this year with the anticipatory and vibe-filled While We Wait 2. If you’re looking for a particular highlight from this new record to get you started, we’d recommend “When He’s Not There” featuring Lucky Daye. Elsewhere, we also wanted to highlight the newest single from one of this year’s breakout stars: Tommy Richman’s “THOUGHT YOU WERE THE ONE.” It’s a more melancholy and dramatic take on the formula that shot him up into superstardom on “MILLION DOLLAR BABY.”

Also on our R&B Season playlist update is the new single from Victoria Monét and Usher, “SOS (Sex On Sight).” If you’re in the need of more ’90s or 2000s-style R&B jams, then this classic and soulful take is exactly up your alley. However, there are plenty of other artists that could be characterized with this genre that aren’t only fusing it with many other sounds, but aren’t always making R&B in any way. One example is Fousheé, whose excellent new single “100 bux” is more of a guitar-led alternative jam.

HNHH R&B Season Playlist: Stream

Back to more traditional R&B vibes, though: Muni Long came through with her new album Revenge, and there are many songs that live up to this title. For example, “The Baddest” speaks on a tough relationship and on toxicity with a drama-filled string and snap beat, plus some ethereal vocal runs. Another mention on this playlist update is Mustafa’s new single ahead of his next album. The track is titled “Old Life,” and there’s a very palpable sense of nostalgia and tenderness that is captivating to witness.

Finally, we’d be remiss not to mention Freddie Gibbs’ remix of Leon Thomas’ “MUTT.” If you were already a fan of this bop, then the charismatic and fast-flowing Freddie verse just makes it all the more funky and vibrant. Let us know what your favorite R&B Season inclusion was this week, as well as what else we missed, down in the comments section below. Check the playlist out above and, as always, stick around on HNHH for the latest amazing music releases around the clock.

Usher Gets Outshined By His Own Fan After Letting Her Perform During His Tour Stop

by

Usher’s recent live shows, residencies, and tour stops have all been nothing short of extravagantly impressive, and with plenty of viral moments to promote them, too. He definitely adopted a “Mr. Steal Your Girl” moniker from many of these, but it’s all been in great fun and with a lot of showmanship and charisma to show folks a good time without taking things too far. The singer is very confident in his ability to control these energies. If you need proof of that, look no further than this latest clip. While going through a group of fans in the crowd, a woman goes up to him and says, “Give me that mic!”

Then, Usher looks back at her with a puzzled look as she grabs the microphone, but as soon as she starts singing, he just looks impressed, leaves the mic in her hands, and sits with some other fans in the stand as the woman performed. Germaine, known on IG as @thegclassbygermaine, belted out “There Goes My Baby” during this “Past Present Future” tour stop. Fans cheered for her around the arena, and it was overall one of many other heartening (but also kind of confusing) moments to witness during these concerts.

Furthermore, the confusion comes form whether or not Usher and his team scripted or anticipated this, but in any case, everyone handled it very well. After all, this is the kind of situation that gets other concert-goers tackled if he hadn’t been so graceful with his reaction. Nevertheless, the “SOS” multi-hyphenate has many more shows to go through, and we’re sure that there will be plenty of other viral fan interactions to witness. Let’s just hope that not too many people try to follow Germaine’s lead, since that could be pretty hectic to handle.

Jokes aside, Usher is actually quite the madman for embarking on this “Past Present Future” tour. Not even a serious neck injury could change his plans, and his time onstage has been absolutely overwhelming in 2024. How can someone keep it together so consistently? Well, that’s what the fans are for sometimes: just hand the mic over, take a rest, and give someone else their time in the spotlight.

Wack 100 Trolls Meek Mill With Clip Of Diddy Calling Him “Daddy”

by

Earlier this weekend, Meek Mill took to X to call out Wack 100, accusing him of not being who he says he is. The rapper shared a clip of a man insisting that Wack isn’t a “real Piru” despite his claims. “Never been to a support the hood day… Nobody can verify where you came from … Talking a lot on clubhouse.. yeah he in a program forsure for sure!” Meek wrote. “Online with with fake extortion stories speaking on killing a famous person lol.”

From there, Meek shared a clip of Wack 100 and Luce Cannon on No Jumper, suggesting that they weren’t telling the truth. While it remains unclear exactly why Meek Mill decided to call Wack out like this, he wasted no time firing back.

Meek Mill Puts Wack 100 On Blast

Today, Wack took to Instagram to share a clip of Diddy approaching Meek Mill in a pool and calling him “Daddy.” His post also featured shocking audio rumored to feature both of them, though this is unconfirmed. “@meekmill please explain ‼Guess this was ya hood day 😂#Diddy get ya mans,” he captioned the post. Of course, Wack has been trolling Meek since fans began to speculate that he’s named in Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones’ lawsuit against Diddy. In the suit, Lil Rod alleges that Diddy had a sexual relationship with a “Philadelphia rapper who dated Nicki Minaj.”

Meek Mill denies this, and got into it with DJ Akademiks back in February for perpetuating these rumors. Wack sided with Ak, and went off on Meek for claiming the governor convinced him to delete some of his posts about the personality. “Man look kill the selective politics . @meekmill just say your a reformed civilian and keep all the STREET GANGSTA TOUGH SH!T OUT YA MOUTH,” he wrote at the time. What do you think of Meek Mill calling out Wack 100? What about Wack’s response? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

NLE Choppa Triples Down On LGBTQ+ Support By Announcing Black Pride Show In Atlanta

by

NLE Choppa’s staunch support of the LBGTQ+ community got him a lot of praise and gratitude, but also a lot of bigoted hate. If it isn’t from folks who have a problem with anything non-cisgender-heteronormative, then it’s from people assuming that he must be gay in order to take this stance. But as the Memphis rapper explained in a new video, he doesn’t care about people’s assumptions and will always advocate against their discriminatory behavior. He did so during his announcement of a performance in Atlanta for Black Pride today (Sunday, September 1) so go check him out if you’re in the area.

“Atlanta Black Pride September 1ST Im Live In Performance,” NLE Choppa captioned the social media video on Instagram. “THE BANK. 3120 DONALD LEE HOLLOWELL PKWY NW, ATLANTA,GA 30318.” “Um, if you a person that has had something to say about me over these last six months regarding if I’m gay or if I’m an f-bomb or if I’m this and if I’m that…” he said in the clip itself.

“Well, this might make you a little bit more mad or make you more infatuated with trying to come to a conclusion of who I am,” NLE Choppa continued. “When I tell y’all, that is who I is. But because I know who I am so deeply and [I’m] so appreciative of who I am, I will be doing my justice by, you know, coming to Atlanta for Black Pride Fest and showing love to the LGBTQ community for being one of the best of the audiences that’s been streaming ‘Slut Me Out 2.‘

“So the same way that they’re pouring love into me is the same way that I’m giving back love,” NLE Choppa continued. “And yeah, I’ma let y’all judge me again and say what y’all want to say about me. ‘Cause y’all are going to say what y’all are going to say regardless.” Regardless of what backlash might come his way, the “Slut SZN” merch entrepreneur is going to continue to support all his fans and fight back against discrimination and bigotry that affects the LBGTQ+ community today.

A Megan Thee Stallion And RM Song Has Been Confirmed As The Rapper’s Previously Teased BTS Collaboration

Megan Thee Stallion isn’t done collecting international collaborations. The “Down Stairs DJ” rapper might’ve hard launched her latest boo, but on August 30, she bread crumbed her next BTS collaboration.

Today (September 1), Megan Thee Stallion finally revealed the details surrounding the upcoming track. Over on X (formerly Twitter), Megan announced that her forthcoming song with BTS is actually a single with member RM.

“NEVA PLAY WITH RM OUT FRIDAY HOTTIES X ARMY 🔥💸 #MEGJOON,” she wrote.

She then went on to promise big things regarding “Neva Play.”

“PS. This is one of my favorite RM verses I’ve heard, she wrote. “I’ve never heard him rap in this style before 😎.”

Although BTS (and by association its members) are known for producing K-pop bangers, this won’t mark the first time they’ve dappled into rap. For RM that includes his album, Right Place, Wrong Person, which dropped in May.

This forthcoming record follows Megan Thee Stallion’s 2021 guest verse on BTS’ “Butter Remix.” At the time, the song’s rollout was reportedly nearly derailed after Megan Thee Stallion’s former label, 1501 Entertainment, supposedly attempted to block its release. It appears this go around is flowing much smoother.

“Neva Play” is out 9/6 via Hot Girl Productions/Big Hit. Find more information here.

Nicki Minaj Almost Named Her Son After Ninja Man Until Her Husband Kenneth Petty Refused

by

Nicki Minaj’s recent Instagram Live session with her husband Kenneth Petty came under heavy fire for its flippant use of a homophobic slur. However, that wasn’t everything that they discussed and engaged in during the event, as they also spoke on their family dynamic with their son. For those unaware, the couple welcomed him in September of 2020 and have kept his name and most of his personal life a secret from fans, only referring to him as “Papa Bear.” During this recent IG Live, the Trinidadian MC revealed that she wanted to name him after incarcerated Jamaican dancehall icon Ninja Man.

“When I was pregnant, all I did was watch Ninja Man all day,” Nicki Minaj explained as Kenneth Petty shook his head at the idea that the name would be a “match.” “I think I told you guys I was going to call the baby Ninja. My husband didn’t really want me to call the baby Ninja, but I thought it was dope, you know. I had asked people around me and they said yes. I don’t see anything wrong with it. You know, Ninja.”

Nicki Minaj Explains Why She Almost Named Papa Bear “Ninja”

Previously, Nicki Minaj had revealed to Vogue last November that she’s a big nickname person, and after shooting down rumors that Papa Bear is named Jacob, she’s hinted at the context behind this moniker and what his actual name could be without outright confirming it. “I’ve always been a nickname person,” she expressed. “I give everyone I love these nicknames, normally. He actually had a couple nicknames. His first nickname while he was in my stomach was ‘Bubba.’ When he came out, it just transformed into ‘Papa Bear.’ I can’t explain it, but when I looked at him, that’s what I thought.”

Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj is as dominant of a force in the music industry as ever, using her power to speak on the biggest happenings in the record realm. For example, she recently threw her hat into a big sales ring recently by promoting Sabrina Carpenter’s new album over Travis Scott’s DAYS BEFORE RODEO re-release, both of which competed for a Billboard 200 No. 1 chart debut. You probably recall that ASTROWORLD beat out Queen for that top-charting spot in 2018. Some grudges last more than we think…
