Megan Thee Stallion Was Forced To Reschedule Her Tour Stop In Atlanta Now Fans Are Blasting The Mayor

Megan Thee Stallion’s Hot Girl Summer Tour is supposedly two hours of unfiltered fun. Unfortunately, fans in the greater-Atlanta area can’t share their thoughts on the show just yet.

Yesterday (May 31), the “Big Ole Freak” rapper was forced to cancel her scheduled concert in the city.

“Unfortunately, we will need to reschedule tonight’s show at State Farm Arena due to the massive water main break that The City of Atlanta is experiencing 🥺,” she wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Upset by the news, ticket holders took to the social media platform to express their frustrations with Atlanta’s elected officials, including Mayor Andre Dickens, for the alleged lack of care placed on the city’s infrastructure.

“@CityofAtlanta, hurry up 😩😩,” wrote one user.

“It would be nice if the Mayor’s protocols prioritized new water infrastructure instead of a ‘Cop City,’” chimed another.

“Mayor Dickens will crumble,” penned another.

“The country’s infrastructure is just falling apart cause this kinda thing is happening more and more regionally smh” wrote one user. “I hope my ATL moots are able to get clean water, and it’s not too hot down there.”

“This why Atlanta will always be on my opp city list,” penned another. “They knew she was announcing the album tonight and had to come up with something quick to sabotage her!”

The concert originally scheduled for May 31 has been rescheduled for Sunday, June 2. All refund details were sent out via the point of purchase. However, the show, slated for tonight (June 1) in Atlanta, will go on as previously planned, according to Megan’s latest Instagram post.

Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Inspires Stripper To Crip-Walk Onstage In Viral Clip

by

Kendrick Lamar continues his dominance with “Not Like Us,” as the Drake diss has apparently even inspired strippers to work it in their routine. Moreover, a clip recently went viral of a dancer crip-walking to the track, which some fans joked about angering the gutter-minded folks in attendance who were throwing dollar bills before. Either way, you can hear the crowd react pretty excitedly to the moves, which is certainly one of the more creative tributes to the song to pop up this week. In fact, we can’t help but wonder whether or not this is a national phenomenon or if this is an isolated incident.

Jokes aside, Kendrick Lamar got a lot of commercial love (and even more critical acclaim) for his slew of Drake disses, and so did the Toronto superstar. Now that the battle is in the rearview mirror, it will be very interesting to see how their artistries and careers evolve from here, if at all. Maybe they will get right back to business as usual for them (as Drizzy proved with his recent Sexyy Red feature) or we’ll only see the fruits of this labor down the line. One thing’s for sure: this feud will still be a major talking point for the rest of 2024.

However, while no one really knows what’s next, there is a lot of hope for the best case scenario. Drake is always dropping material, so fans are looking forward to his next moves all the time. But Kendrick Lamar is a more elusive figure, one that took five years to follow up his biggest commercial success. As such, rumors that he’s “locked in” on new music is very exciting for fans, but there’s no telling whether this will further the beef.

Hopefully it doesn’t, as it would be a tad corny to build up your next album by dissing Drake and beating that dead horse even further. But when it comes to him and Kendrick Lamar, who’s to say? There are even folks who think that they should let bygones be bygones and work together again. What’s more likely: another “Poetic Justice,” a Kendrick album within the next three years, or a dancer strutting their stuff to a PDF-file-alleging banger?

Jake Paul Feels “Heartbroken” Over Postponed Mike Tyson Fight

by

Jake Paul has released a full video reacting to the news that his fight with Mike Tyson, originally scheduled for July 20, is now postponed. Moreover, this disappointing news for boxing fans comes amid recommendations from Tyson’s doctors that he heal from his ulcer scare before continuing full training for the bout. Organizers will reportedly announce a new date by next Friday (June 7), and fans are really looking forward to getting geared up for the showdown yet again. As for Paul, he had previously expressed a desire for Iron Mike to be at his very best for their match-up, so he’s taking this delay in stride and wishing his opponent the best.

“Obviously, devastating news, I’m heartbroken,” Jake Paul’s video response to the Mike Tyson postponement. “Speechless, like, gutted. We’ve been working so hard over here, everyone in this camp, and I just feel bad for everyone involved in this event. The whole undercard, this opportunity has been ripped from all of us. But I do value Mike’s health first and foremost. Love that guy, I have so much respect for him. I want Mike to be healthy. He says he still is going to knock me out and I bought myself some time, so Mike is still talking s**t over there.

Jake Paul Responds To Postponement Of Mike Tyson Fight

“But Mike, if you want to do this, like you said behind closed doors, behind the scenes, you’ve said you want to do this,” Jake Paul continued. “Thank you for it, you just need a little bit of time. So, I’m ready whenever you are. This is too big of an opportunity. I think this fight is going to change the world, and I turn all my Ls into Ws. That’s a motto I live by, and the universe makes no mistakes. So let’s see what’s in store. But sorry this didn’t work out to everyone, the fans. Love you guys.”

Of course, there are plenty of predictions and theories as to how this fight will turn out. Some folks value legacy, and others are about the next big thing. It’s clear that Mike Tyson and Jake Paul are both very excited about making this happen. We wish Mike the best during his recovery and hope that an amazing bout comes sooner rather than later as long as health is prioritized.

Lucky Daye Is Letting His Walls All The Way Down On “Soft”

by

Lucky Daye, former American Idol contestant and RCA Records signee, is back with a brand-new single “Soft”. This is the New Orleans, Louisiana native’s third offering from his forthcoming third studio record, Algorithm. It will be his first project since 2022’s Candydrip, a record that featured the likes of Lil Durk, Smino, and Chiiild. Of course, the solo tracks such as “Over” and “Deserve” were standouts. So far, Lucky Daye has impressed fans with “HERicane” and “That’s You”, and “Soft” seems to be on the path of being another hit.

On this song, Lucky is singing about a woman that he is so infatuated with. The attraction is so strong in fact that he is becoming his most vulnerable self. Lucky Daye spoke with RCA about what “Soft” means to him. “‘Soft’ is about how love can come over a person and make them feel vulnerable, and whilst it’s unexpected, it’s also okay to embrace it”.

Listen To “Soft” By Lucky Daye

He continues, “To be comfortable doing the things society labels “soft” like cuddling, PDA, hugging and kissing – shamelessly. It’s about a lover putting a spell on you but that spell is in fact love itself”. The opening lines (below) and lyrics later on in the track accurately depict said feelings over a rock/R&B instrumental that just makes sense sonically. If you cannot enjoy the guitar solo thrown in on the back half, then we do not know what to tell you. Lucky Daye’s Algorithm is due out on June 28.

What are your thoughts on “Soft” by Lucky Daye? Is this the best single as of late, why or why not? Does this pique your interest in what his upcoming album could be? Do you think Algorithm has a chance at being his best album? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Lucky Daye. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Quotable Lyrics:

What’s this spell controllin’ me?
I’m breakin’ down, think I need you
Flowers fall when you cross my mind
Sometimes, I wish that I couldn’t see
‘Cause I undress you with the naked eye
Lose my mind, get butterflies

Jennifer Lopez Looks Down In The Dumps At L.A. Studio Amid Divorce Rumors & Canceled Tour

by

There’s a lot going on in Jennifer Lopez’s life right now, such as all the gossip roaming around about a rumored divorce from Ben Affleck. While we can never really assume one’s emotions as simple spectators, new photos obtained by TMZ (which you can view by clicking on the “Via” link down below) tell a potential story. Moreover, she arrived at a Los Angeles studio with a bit of a wearier look than usual in many’s eyes on Friday (May 31), although this is just a speculative interpretation. After all, even a nasty headache can leave you with a stank face more than whatever’s going on in your personal life.

In addition, Jennifer Lopez recently canceled her summer tour much to fans’ disappointment, with the reasoning allegedly being to “[take] time off to be with her children, family and close friends.” “I am completely heartsick and devastated about letting you down,” she wrote to fans. “Please know that I wouldn’t do this if I didn’t feel that it was absolutely necessary. I promise I will make it up to you and we will all be together again. I love you all so much. Until next time…”

However, even with this tour cancelation and the potential split from Ben Affleck in mind, photos can’t really illustrate the pop star’s emotions right now. Maybe they do, but there is also some evidence out there that is pointing to these developments in less of a negative light. For example, Jennifer Lopez and Affleck were recently spotted out holding hands amid these divorce rumors. Perhaps they’re just taking more time off from each other than usual, or only time will tell what’s really going on.

On the other hand, many accused this now-canceled summer tour of suffering from low ticket sales, which was another heavy gossip factor. TMZ reportedly obtained information suggesting that this was not a factor in the trek’s cancelation, as ticket sales were apparently getting much better in select cities. No matter what’s happening, we wish Jennifer Lopez the best and hope any thorn in her side is temporary. We’ll see in the near future whether there’s actually something to this story.

Luh Tyler Takes A Victory Lap On “Young N****”

by

Luh Tyler has blown up quickly in a pretty competitive hip-hop scene in Florida. The 18-year-old Atlantic Records signee blew up on social media with some hot singles, and since then all he has done is level up. On top of tracks like “Law & Order”, “Back Flippin”, and “Change My Wayz”, his resume is quite impressive. The man is a 2023 XXL Freshman and he will be touring with A Boogie Wit da Hoodie fairly soon for his Better Off Alone tour.

Because of all of these accomplishments, Luh Tyler has reason to celebrate his W’s on “Young N****”. This is the latest offering and follow up to March’s “Bad B****”. On this cut, the raspy-voiced MC is counting up all of his successes, which includes women, money, luxuries, and the most important, being able to help out his family. “I been puttin’ in that work, b****, I been droppin’ these hits (Droppin’ these hits)
Now ma dukes don’t gotta work because her son done got rich, n**** (Her son done got rich)“.

Even though Tyler has been dropping some fire singles as of late, fans, including us, are waiting on that debut album. He did drop his first LP in mixtape form last year with My Vision, with features from Lil Uzi Vert (Reloaded), Loe Shimmy, NoCap, SCY Jimm, and Wizz Havinn. But instead of giving bangers, we feel that Tyler has enough experience now to carry out a theme on a project. While we wait for that time to come, check out “Young N****” and its video above.

What are your thoughts on “Young N****” by Luh Tyler? Is this one of his better singles as of late, why or why not? Do you think he is gearing up for a new album soon? Where do you rank him amongst the rest of the young talent from Florida? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Started rappin’, finally found my way, now we got seven figures (On God)
When people see me out, they just say, “Hey, Ty, can I get a picture?”
Before a n**** come ’round tryna play, they better reconsider (Reconsider)
Hotboy, brodie keep that fire underneath his pillow (Hot)
