Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, and Other Celebs Add to F1 Spectacle in Las Vegas

After more than 40 years, racing made its return to Las Vegas and in true Vegas style, it was a spectacle on and off the track. The Las Vegas Grand Prix, which forms part of the Formula One World Championship, took place on Saturday with celebs gathering to watch some of the top racers in the world on a specially-designed track, which included parts of the Las Vegas strip.

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky joined the Ferrari team where they wore headphones to hear the drivers communication with their teams. Justin Bieber had the honor of waving the checkered lap for the final lap of the race, which was won by Max Verstappen of Team Red Bull.

Other A-listers in attendance included Anthony Mackie, Steve Aoki, Chad Ochocinco, Axl Rose, Brad Pitt, Paris Hilton, David Beckham, Wayne Newton, Heidi Klum, Donny Osmond, Shaquille O’Neal, Cara Delevingne, and Patrick Dempsey, and more.

And even though Tom Brady, an avid racing fan, could not be there in person, he Facetimed some words of encouragement to Logan Sargeant, a rookie driver for Williams Racing.

The last Formula One race, the Caesars Palace Grand Prix, was held in Las Vegas in 1982 while the last street race held in the city since was the Vegas Grand Prix Champ Car in 2007. The race came with a great deal of controversy including construction costs and delays and interruptions to other Las Vegas businesses and residents. In addition to reports that fans also tore down view-blocking screens to get a glimpse of the race, others who actually purchased tickets are also upset that they did not get their money’s worth. The race has already been hit with a class-action lawsuit on behalf of the 35,000 people who bought tickets for Thursday’s practice session that was cancelled when Carlos Sainz’s Ferrari was damaged by a loose drain cover.

Sheff G, Nas EBK, And Smooky MarGielaa Perform At Rikers After Squashing Beef

by

Sheff G, Nas EBK, and Smooky MarGielaa have reportedly squashed their beef after being seen performing at Rikers together. The video has quickly gone viral and spent a significant amount of time trending at #1 on Youtube. However, some have questioned the claims made by reporting outlets. “None of these guys ever had beef,” one person noted on social media. Before his incarceration, Sheff had gone to some lengths to squash some beefs. However, it appears that he has continued that trend on the inside.

Sheff has been incarcerated since May of this year. He, along with 31 associates, was found guilty of several shooting incidents, including one murder, over the last two years. Meanwhile, NAS EBK was found guilty of first-degree murder back in March. Additionally, Smooky has been jailed since 2022 on a second-degree murder charge. However, we hope that their fellow prisoners at the notorious New York prison enjoyed the impromptu show.

Rot Ken Posts New Prison Photos

Someone else showing out from prison is Rot Ken. Ken, currently serving 20 years in prison for burglary, dropped some new photos showing off prison life. The small collection of images shows Ken chilling in his cell with another inmate. Furthermore, several images show Ken improvising a shiesty out of a white shirt. Additionally, several full-body images appear to show that Ken has drawn a custom Nike swoosh on his prison sandals.

As mentioned, Ken is currently doing a 20-year sentence for armed burglary. He was originally arrested back in June on a double murder charge dating back to April. However, he was sentenced to the two-decade stint on armed burglary charges dating back to 2021. Furthermore, he is ineligible for parole until 2032. That is if the June murder charges don’t amount to any additional time behind bars. He is currently being held at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification State Prison. While Ken is only facing incarceration, the GDCSP is also home to Georgia’s state execution chamber.

YG Volunteers At Compton Food Drive Under Armed Guard

by

YG was seen helping prepare Thanksgiving packages at a food drive in Compton’s Campanella Park yesterday. However, also present were several armed guards carrying assault rifles. According to the event’s organizers, YG also helped provide power for things such as refrigeration units. His primary role appeared to be sorting through packaged hams and placing them in brown paper bags. However, his security team remained close by at all times. Despite the slightly tense situation, no untoward altercations have been reported.

YG has been serious about his safety since he was shot three times in 2015. He had been recording in Studio City when masked assailants broke into the studio and shot the rapper three times in the hip. Due to the rapper’s reluctance to cooperate with the police, his case remains solved. However, he would address the shooting a year later on his album Still Brazy. The track “Who Shot Me?” sees YG going over possible theories as to who his assailants were.

Elsewhere, he has been involved in something of an online feud. Last week, YG posted a random woman to his Instagram. That woman turned out to be the baby mama of Andre Lowe Jr, who promptly asked him to take down the picture. “THATS MY BABY MAMA TOO‼ Take this down NOW!!!” Lowe Jr demanded of YG. However, Lowe Jr, who appears to be an online comedian, took things a step further. He posted a comedic video doubling down on his demand for YG to remove the photo.

The rapper kind of responded to Lowe Jr. The rapper posted his car collection with the caption “🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴🥴”. Of course, Lowe Jr was quick to further the beef by returning to the comments. Claiming he was “getting really angry”, he sounded off at the rapper. “BRUH! So you really not about to take it down????????? I’m Fina get mad,” Lowe Jr raged. Furthermore, Joey Bada$$ got in on the drama, primarily to clown on Lowe Jr. “He should’ve kept that sh-t to himself ! ain’t nobody know that was ya baby mama till you spilled the beans 😂.”

Why Did Pardi Diss Megan Thee Stallion?

by

Breakups can be difficult. For celebrities, they can be even more tricky because they happen in public. Over the last week, rappers Megan Thee Stallion and Pardison Fontaine (also known as Pardi) split has been the most discussed romantic fallout in hip-hop.

In her latest single, “Cobra,” Megan alleged that infidelity on Pardi’s end contributed to their downfall. “Pulled up, caught him cheatin’, gettin’ his d*ck sucked in the same spot I’m sleepin’,” she rapped. After being flooded with fan reactions, Pardi issued a response track of his own. So, why did Pardi diss Megan? According to Pardi’s latest song, “Thee Person,” it was to clear his name.

“After watching people drag your name. And talk about you in unfavorable ways. In order to get attention and clicks,” said Pardi in the song’s introduction. “I never thought you would do something like that to me. Oh, I’d like to apologize for no longer keeping up with your lies or supporting your habits to tell half-truths.”

Later in the song, Pardi seemed to confirm that he stepped outside the relationship. But in his words, it didn’t happen in the way Megan recounted. “Hire detectives, girl, you the feds / Not in your house, not in your bed / You lyin’ to people, you sick in the head,” rapped Pardi.

Listen to Pardison Fontaine’s track “Thee Person” above.

Megan Thee Stallion is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Taylor Swift has postponed her second Eras Tour concert in Rio de Janeiro due to “extreme temperatures.” The decision comes after a fan died attending her opening night show at Rio’s Estádio Olímpico Nilton Santos on Friday.

“I’m writing this from my dressing room in the stadium,” Swift shared in a handwritten note on her Instagram Story, Saturday. “The decision has been made to postpone tonight’s show due to the extreme temperatures in Rio. The safety and well-being of my fans, fellow performers, and crew has to and always will come first.”

Swift addressed the fan’s passing in a statement on Instagram prior to taking the stage on Friday night. “I can’t believe I’m writing these words but it is with a shattered heart that I say we lost a fan earlier tonight before my show,” Swift wrote at the time. “I can’t even tell you how devastated I am by this. There’s very little information I have other than the fact that she was so incredibly beautiful and far too young. I’m not going to be able to speak about this from stage because I feel overwhelmed by grief when I even try to talk about it. I want to say now I feel this loss deeply and my broken heart goes out to her family and friends. This is the last thing I ever thought would happen when we decided to bring this tour to Brazil.”

Taylor Swift Helps Fans Get Water

During the concert, Swift paused one of her songs to ensure a group of fans got water when they appeared in need. “There’s people that need water right here, maybe 30, 35, 40 feet back,” the singer said on stage, as seen in videos posted on social media by fans. “So whoever is in charge of giving them that, just make sure that happens. Can I get a signal that you know where they are?” Be on the lookout for further updates on Taylor Swift on HotNewHipHop.

Adam22 Birthday Party Photos: Lena The Plug, Blueface, Jaidyn Alexis, N3on, And More Turn Up

by

Adam22 has plenty of competition in the hip-hop blogger/podcaster space, but the 39-year-old has done an impressive job of carving out his own lane. While still being a husband and father, the entertainer has managed to sleep with dozens of his interview subjects, and Lena The Plug has even joined in at times. Not everyone approves of how Adam handles his business. Still, at his 40th birthday celebration this weekend, we were reminded that he’s got a broad circle of celebrity friends who were happy to turn up with him.

On Saturday (November 18), Lena posted a photo dump from the bash she threw for her man. The X-rated starlet looked stunning in a silver dress with waist cutouts on each side and platform heels. Beside her, Adam donned double denim with his top unbuttoned to expose his tattoo-clad chest. “22 going on 40. Thanks to everyone who came out last night. 🏀💣🔥,” the No Jumper host’s partner wrote ahead of his actual birthday on November 24.

A post shared by Lena The Plug (@freelenatheplug)

Throughout the following snaps, we see appearances from streamer N3on, Riley Reid, Chrissy K, Sky Bri, and even Blueface with his fiancee, Jaidyn Alexis. The latter couple seems to be the reason Crip Mac didn’t get an invite, leading him to brutally roast Adam online while missing out on the function.

By age 40, and this far into his marriage, some would expect Adam22 to be more settled in his life with Lena The Plug. However, the pair only seems to be growing more adventurous with age. After letting his other half explore in the bedroom with Jason Luv, they’re now launching a reality series where contestants compete for a chance to have a threesome with the adult actress. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

[WATCH] Rapper Slim Thug Under Fire After Insensitive Comments About Cassie/Diddy Lawsuit

Screen Shot 2023 11 19 at 11.50.38 AM

Rapper Slim Thug decided to share his thoughts on the recent Cassie/Diddy lawsuit and fans have been chopping him up online. The Houston rapper says he doesn’t agree with women suing their abusers if they don’t speak up when it happens, “it should be a time limit.” He added that Cassie was with a billionaire and followed her heart to dealing with a trainer and now her apartment got smaller. He shared:

“You participated…you did that, stand on that!”

“When it goes down, speak on that s**t right then or it should be null and void!”

He accused her of looking for ways to get paid so she exposed Diddy for money.

Many women thought the comments were insensitive and proves he doesn’t understand the traumatizing results of hidden domestic violence. The rapper once wrote an op-ed for NYT where he detailed how he reached out to a real estate agent to help him take advantage of a government real estate short-sale program…but quickly got distracted by her cakes and lost sight of his original goal.

So interesting for him to say when NSFW photos LIKE THIS exist of him on the internet.

Thoughts?
