Lil Durk Announces New Album “Almost Healed” Releasing Next Week

by

It’s officially Smurk season. Lil Durk just announced that his next album Almost Healed will release next week on May 12. Via Instagram, he shared the news with excited fans by sharing the cover art and release date, keeping his word. Moreover, the Chicago MC promised to do so if fans left 100K comments on a post promoting his upcoming music video with J. Cole. As such, fans responded rabidly and eventually reached the milestone, and Durk delivered just a few days later. Given just how much he teased this album’s arrival, his supporters must be ecstatic that it’s coming so soon after these updates.

Furthermore, Lil Durk said that the album was finished just a couple of weeks ago in April. However, one thing that remains to be seen is if he landed one of his dream features: SZA. “@sza the goat,” he wrote on his Instagram Story. “Y’all bet not sleep or get blind. Every female every car every sale she really her… I need you on my album ASAP [trophy emoji and sunglasses emoji]. A hit not a regular song. Go tag sza blow her s**t down. Tell her Smurk need her.”

Lil Durk Announces Almost Healed

What’s more is that The Voice recently reflected on how therapy has helped him a lot in his personal life. We’ll see if such reflections find their way on Almost Healed‘s tracklist, whose title certainly points to that. “Being more open,” Lil Durk remarked on how the process has uplifted him. “Being more open to letting [my new manager] Pete [Jideonwo] in. Moving certain people out the way. That’s the best feeling. Therapy, the kids, the new team, all that. But the best feeling is really just starting over.

“I got a therapist so I cope different,” he continued. “I don’t show emotion. So, some people will be like, ‘Man, you can’t hold it in.’ And I just can’t talk to nobody usually. You gotta be careful how you tell people, what you tell people, because they can use it against you. They can find out your weaknesses. So now, when I talk to the therapist, then it start getting more emotional. But like somebody on the street, you’ll never even see me shed a tear. I think I had to go to therapy fresh out the womb.” Let us know if you’re excited for Almost Healed down in the comments below.

Doja Cat Poses Sultrily In Cat Suit On Instagram

by

Doja Cat was asked many things at the 2023 Met Gala, to which all she could respond was a firm, cheeky, and slightly inflammatory “Meow.” Moreover, her stunning tribute to gala theme Karl Lagerfeld’s cat Choupette turned all heads at the ceremony. Not only did she arrive in a shimmering cat suit dress, but she employed prosthetic makeup to fully emulate the cat look. Furthermore, if we were in her position, we also wouldn’t give up a fit like that so easily. In addition to her show-stopping pics from the gala, the “Woman” artist posted some more pictures of her laying on her bed with her cat suit.

Of course, the 27-year-old’s fashion choice wasn’t the most controversial part of her 2023 Met Gala appearance. Fans were quick to notice online that Doja Cat was spotted vaping on multiple occasions throughout the night. Considering that she previously canceled some tour dates due to throat surgery, this was disappointing for many fans. Still, if there’s anything we can count on Doja for, it’s to do things her own way and make impactful artistic statements while doing so.

Doja Cat Keeps Her Stunning Met Gala Outfit On Display

Even though she might be banned from the Met Gala in later years as a result, maybe she won’t. After all, Doja Cat is one of the most beloved and talked about fashionistas in pop culture at the moment. Not featuring her during her insane relevancy in music and fashion today would be a huge missed opportunity. Just look at how mad fans got when neither Beyoncé, Zendaya, nor many others graced the gala this year. Regardless, apparently “no smoking” is a pretty big rule there, so we’ll see how consequential the aftermath really is.

Beyond that fan debate, Diddy and Doja Cat hosted an afterparty for the occasion shortly after it wrapped up. Guests included Cardi B, Paris Hilton, Emily Ratajkowski, Teyana Taylor, Naomi Campbell, Kendall Jenner, and Bad Bunny. No matter what went on behind the scenes or during interviews, it seems like they all had an opulent blast. Meanwhile, if you want the latest updates and news on the Planet Her star, check back in with HNHH.

Cardi B Serves Multiple Incredible Looks At The 2023 Met Gala

by

While a lot of celebrities can say that they slayed at the 2023 Met Gala, few can say they slayed multiple times. However, Cardi B came to the biggest night in celebrity fashion with a strict mission: kill the competition three times over. Moreover, she first donned an extravagant and sparkly pink dress with peacock-like plumage behind her. Then, she changed into tight black ensemble with a white shirt and black tie, with her massive black rose-adorned crinoline being the main attraction. To wrap up the night, she simplified that fit by keeping her silver hair, but changing into a black-and-pink patterned dress.

Of course, Cardi B is no stranger to showcasing her astonishing style at the Met Gala. In fact, many fans on social media took the chance to reflect on her past outfit choices at the event. What’s more is that, this time around, she paid fitting and well-executed tributes to the gala’s theme. Furthermore, fans traced back her first two fits to some of Karl Lagerfeld’s iconic looks. Even for those unfamiliar with their inspiration, they still expressed admiration for her style.

Cardi B Wows At The 2023 Met Gala

Meanwhile, the Bronx native recently had a dismissive and funny comment towards her haters. While it’s unclear what specifically prompted the pop-off, she displayed experience in dealing with the negativity. “That mean girl persona y’all put on for the internet don’t fool me,” Cardi B tweeted. “I can tell y’all were NERDS in high school.” Furthermore, she recently faced flack for her ongoing feud with blogger Tasha K, although she won her lawsuit against her. Still, any public drama like that is bound to draw critical comments online.

However, she also took steps to give a little more details on her personal life. For example, she spoke on the importance of accountability when addressing her community service work after an assault case. Also, she showed fans a typical day in her life via TikTok and narrated through her usual routine. Whether it’s on the red carpet, onstage, on wax, or online, she stands proudly and with a smile, even to the haters. Peep Cardi B’s Met Gala looks below and stay up to date on HNHH for more on Cardi and the fashion extravaganza.

Three Different Looks, Three Different Stunners

Jack Harlow Allegedly Told 2023 Met Gala Press “I’m On Shrooms” To Avoid Interviews

by

Fresh off the release of his latest album Jackman, Jack Harlow might be riding a few different highs at the moment. Moreover, the Louisville rapper recently appeared in Tommy Hilfiger luxury at the 2023 Met Gala, but there’s a twist. According to a New York Times reporter, Harlow allegedly mouthed “I’m on shrooms” to press at the event who tried to speak with him. Even though he showed up on the red carpet, he didn’t talk to many media people there (except apparently Emma Chamberlain, who hosted for Vogue). During their conversation, he reportedly came across as completely coherent.

Furthermore, this is made even odder by the fact that the 25-year-old has been a big advocate for sobriety in recent years. As such, many fans can’t believe that Jack Harlow was actually on shrooms for the event. In addition, he has a lot of things to promote and talk about at the moment, so why would he not want to talk to press about it? All in all, this is still an unconfirmed, albeit slightly hilarious, piece of gossip floating around. Still, it does come from one of the top news sources in the world.

Jack Harlow Allegedly Said He Was On Shrooms To Avoid The Press

What’s more is that the upward trajectory that the “They Don’t Love It” rapper has displayed must signify a deeper reason for his alleged choice. For example, he has a new starring role on the way for the reboot of White Men Can’t Jump. In addition, Jackman garnered a lot of buzz among critics and fans alike for its stripped-back and more classically hip-hop approach compared to his previous work. Regardless, it seems like Jack Harlow just wasn’t feeling it on Monday (May 1) to indulge in some clips for the media.

In fact, there might be something on his latest album that is driving his choice, which is what sent fans and naysayers into a frenzy. On the aforementioned “They Don’t Love It,” he labeled himself as the hardest white rapper since Eminem. Moreover, considering how explosively those statements tend to land with fans and the press alike, maybe he predicted an onslaught of pushback. However, at the end of the day, we can’t expect for artists to always be at the whim of their audiences or the press, and that has to be respected. Regardless, check out snaps of Jack Harlow at the 2023 Met Gala below and return to HNHH for more on these topics.

Rihanna & A$AP Rocky Light Up The 2023 Met Gala After He Climbed Over Crowd

by

After a lot of speculation on their outfits, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky finally arrived to the 2023 Met Gala. Of course, they came through with impeccable style and beauty, with the couple usually turning heads for their fits even without a gala as their backdrop. Moreover, RiRi wore a stunning white dress adorned with white flowers all over her, which she even used as a large hood of sorts covering her head. Still, she draped them down afterwards for a more classic yet nonetheless elegant look. Meanwhile, the A$AP Mob frontman dressed in a classic black suit and tie with a white shirt, donning bedazzled jeans as well.

Also, he wore a red flannel skirt over his jeans (as a tribute to Karl Lagerfeld) and showed off various Gucci belts. As some of the most anticipated guests at the event, Rihanna and her boo joined the ranks of astonishing ensembles at the Gala. However, they went viral a little before their arrival for an odd reason. While trying to get past a crowd outside their hotel, A$AP Rocky stepped on a woman’s face to climb over the barricade.

A$AP Rocky Steps On Crowd To Get To His & Rihanna’s Hotel

Regardless of his desperate measures, the couple’s sense of style and their wholesome family dynamic made them one of the most talked-about stars even without being on the red carpet. Not only that, but rumors of Rihanna’s potential outfit included claims that she toyed with $25 million worth of Cartier jewels for her fitting. Even though her final fit doesn’t seem to feature these prominently, she still rocked a lot of bling. Still, it’s about as extravagant and lavish of an idea as we’d expect from the “Diamonds” singer. Maybe that’s what A$AP Rocky adorned his jeans with.

Meanwhile, it seems like their luxurious style at the 2023 Met Gala matched nicely with one of the Barbadian singer’s most recent huge accomplishments. Furthermore, she officially has her first diamond record in the form of “We Found Love,” a collab with Calvin Harris. That was long overdue, but whether it’s with diamonds or not, it’s clear from her artistry and looks that she has a lot more to shine with. Take a look at more snaps of Rihanna and A$AP Rocky at the 2023 Met Gala below. Also, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on the star couple and this star-studded event.

Diddy & Yung Miami Speak On Their Relationship At The 2023 Met Gala

by

It seems like the 2023 Met Gala is giving us not just exceptional looks, but also some piping hot tea. Moreover, Yung Miami and Diddy arrived together at the event and matched beautifully with their lavish black fits. On one hand, the City Girl rocked a ring of black fur around her shoulders, complimented by many pearl strings and a see-through black bottom dress. On the other, the Bad Boy mogul donned a black rose-accentuated cape and a striking black vest along with stylish shades. No matter their relationship status, they came with some regal looks to serve.

In fact, their rumored romance and relationship status became the center of La La Anthony’s conversation with them on the red carpet. Furthermore, she asked Diddy, “Do y’all officially go together real bad?” as Yung Miami stood by her side. As Sean Combs gave his answer, he stumbled on his words and playfully told her, “I don’t know what you’re asking.” Not only that, but at one point he asked for a cloth to wipe his face with, whether the heat was causing his sweat or the spicy questions.

Diddy Answers Spicy Yung Miami Question

“We go together real bad,” Diddy finally remarked as Yung Miami laughed at the interaction. “It’s just a good date night,” Caresha told Anthony, and the 53-year-old expressed a similar sentiment. “We don’t put titles on it,” he added on. “Everybody wants to put a title on it, we don’t put a title on it. This is like my best friend in the world, one of the most beautiful people God has blessed me to meet, and I’m blessed that she’s my date tonight.”

Of course, that interview was quite interesting considering that the “Don’t Play With It” MC previously confirmed that they had split. “We’re still friends!” she remarked to The Cut. “We’re still good friends! But we’re single. That’s not my man. We had our own situation, I’m not gonna put a title on it. We were f***ing with each other hard, we were together every day at one point. He supported me, I supported him. I’ll let the internet call it whatever they want to call it.” With that in mind, his flustered reaction makes much more sense. Regardless, keep checking in with HNHH for more on Diddy, Yung Miami, and the 2023 Met Gala. Also, peep more footage of them at the event down below.

Doja Cat Arrives In “Purr”fect Style At The 2023 Met Gala

by

The 2023 Met Gala is absolutely packed with fantastic looks, luxurious ensembles, and a whole lot of stars. Despite all the commotion, it’s no surprise that Doja Cat and her stunning choice of style is one of the most talked-about fits of the evening. Moreover, the “Freaky Deeky” rapper showed up in cat makeup and a sparkly white dress complete with cat ears, fully embracing her name. In fact, it’s a tribute to Karl Lagerfeld’s cat Choupette, as the German fashion designer was this year’s theme. Not only that, but Jared Leto had a similar idea, showing up in a full cat bodysuit before revealing his look.

However, it’s easy to see why the 27-year-old stole the show, with her creative mix of makeup and wardrobe to pay homage. Also, it’s quite the payoff considering the very minimal tease that she gave fans on Instagram of her Met Gala fit. While they didn’t have much to go by, they always count on Doja Cat to deliver some eye-catching fits. Among a lot of other astonishing looks and appearances, hers is emblematic of the creativity and bombast she’s known for.

Choupette Tributed At The Met Gala

In addition to all this, the Los Angeles native also updates her followers on upcoming new music. Specifically, she suggested that she would be dropping a single in the coming weeks while expressing frustration with reception to her latest hairstyle. “Saw somebody edit hair onto my head for this look i did last night and it made me mad so i wanted to let them know they should be making money instead,” Doja Cat tweeted. “Im also aware of the ramifications of the last tweet and that I’ll only be seeing edits of me with hair for the next 4 weeks so I’ll be logging off / deleting twitter till my lead comes out.”

All in all, she continued her streak of impressive and out-of-the-box fits at the 2023 Met Gala. Considering that allegedly she left her hotel either covered in umbrellas or held up in a plastic bag, the quality of her outfit made sense to be hidden until the big reveal. Furthermore, if you’re looking for more amazing Met Gala highlights, stay logged into HNHH.

Kendrick Lamar Previews 2023 Met Gala Fit

by

Kendrick Lamar isn’t usually one to indulge in the heavily documented and extravagant trappings of fame. However, sometimes he pops out for these massive events, and makes sure he astonishes while doing so. Moreover, he took to his Instagram Story to preview his fit for the 2023 Met Gala, in collaboration with Chanel. Specifically, he rocked a nearly all-black fit with a leather jacket, slick pants, dress shoes, and an MLB hat to boot. Furthermore, he complimented the look with a white sweater and an orange-white Chanel fabric around his waist, which could be a bandana as much as it could be a handkerchief.

In fact, perhaps this environment of luxury and beauty is more fitting for the Compton legend than many might believe. After all, the 35-year-old recently wrapped up the highest-grossing rap tour of all time, beating out names like Kanye West, Jay-Z, Drake, and Travis Scott. Along with his cousin, frequent collaborator, and pgLang partner Baby Keem, they rocked the world with their performances. Kendrick Lamar likes to let the quality of his music and artistry speak for him, and that’s exactly what backs up lavish looks like these.

Kendrick Lamar’s 2023 Met Gala Fit

What’s more is that it hasn’t even been a full year since his last album, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers dropped. Despite the short timeframe, fans still get ecstatic over Kendrick Lamar leaks no matter how old they are. In particular, two tracks recorded around 2013 recently surfaced online, showing us the creative process behind some of his greatest works. “Burn” and “Crooked” are just another example of the “United In Grief” MC’s tendency to best other artists’ released work with his throwaways.

Regardless, the former TDE artist is very serious and intentional with his art, so it’s understandable that many of his ideas don’t end up releasing. Moreover, Saviii 3rd recounted some important questions that he asks his collaborators. “One of the questions was: ‘Do you want to make music for your section, or do you want to make music for the world?’” he revealed. “Another one is: ‘What do you think your biggest flaw is when it comes to anything blocking your creativity?’ With this one, he put: ‘This is the one’ in parentheses, and he said: ‘What do you think is stopping you from being an ultimate superstar? Be truthful with yourself.’” Return to this piece with more pictures when Kendrick Lamar arrives at the Met Gala this year. Also, for more updates on the rapper and great fits from tonight, stick around on HNHH.

Method Man Shows Love To GloRilla

by

While Method Man isn’t super tuned in to what’s hot in hip-hop music right now, he did reveal one artist that’s always playing in his household. Moreover, HipHopDX caught up with the Wu-Tang Clan legend while on the red carpet for the 2023 Grammy Awards. In a newly surfaced clip from the publication, Jeremy Hecht asked Mef what new artist he was listening to at the time, and his answer might surprise some fans. Furthermore, he expressed that he doesn’t listen to too many new things in hip-hop these days, especially as he became successful in other entertainment areas. However, he gave a big shoutout to Memphis’ own GloRilla, who he says is in heavy rotation in his home.

“I don’t really listen to much [of] today’s music,” Method Man replied to Hecht’s question. “But right now, who’s relevant in my household? Who they playing in my house? Glo.” In addition, he revealed that GloRilla apparently didn’t know who he was when they met. Still, she remained graceful, respectful, and kind during their interaction, which the Long Island legend appreciated. “That speaks volumes to her character. Love her.”

Method Man Shouts Out GloRilla At The Grammys

Of course, the Grammys red carpet also had other rap legends speak on the “Tomorrow 2” star, most notably Grandmaster Flash. HipHopDX actually got his very first reaction to her smash hit “F.N.F.,” as the Furious Five legend admitted that his children tried to get him to listen to her. As he heard the song, he bobbed his head along and took note of her blunt, boastful lyrics. “Okay GloRilla! This s**t sounds like fun too,” he said of the track. “She’s talking s**t and she’s having fun which is what Hip Hop should be. Word up! Okay, my kids… They were right.”

Meanwhile, all three artists formed part of the grand tribute to hip-hop at the awards ceremony, which celebrated the genre’s 50th anniversary. These remarks actually fit quite well within that context, as generations come together to celebrate each other’s greatness and importance in the game. After a lot of discussion in the 2010s decade about the old guard against the new, it’s great to see them in a more respectful and appreciative space. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Method Man and GloRilla.

Coi Leray Keeps The “Bops” Coming With New Single

by

Coi Leray just returned with a new single “Bops” that continues her momentum this year. After she’s dropped multiple singles and features, including her verse on RAYE’s “Flip A Switch.” remix, she just released the single “Bops.” What’s more is that there’s yet another Coi single coming this week, with “Body” arriving very soon later in the weekend. All in all, it’s an incredibly prolific and exciting season for the Boston-born MC, and one that is only further solidifying her career. On “Bops,” she rides a relatively old-school instrumental that sounds closer to 2000s hip-hop than contemporary trap. With a hypnotic percussive pattern with high-pitched bells and confident flows, she would fit right in on a Neptunes record if she had a time machine.

Furthermore, the short but sharp synths on the track also give it a more vintage club feel. However, the production still sounds crisp and vivid, which breathes more life into these classic sounds. While there’s not too much instrumental progression or variation, Coi Leray takes care of moving the single forward by herself. Multiple cadences and melodies here could make for a standout hook, and her penchant for melody here is intoxicating. As such, even when she’s repeating a lyric or melodic phrase, it still goes a long way to energize the cut. Given previous singles like “Players,” this should come as no surprise.

Coi Leray Is Still Dropping “Bops”

Lyrically, the 25-year-old focuses on, unsurprisingly, her success, talent, and supposed beef with other artist. Of course, she recently cleared up a brief spat with Latto after the latter mentioned her on a single of her own, “Put It On Da Floor.” Even though they seem to have cleared things up, these tracks and Coi’s social media presence indicate that she’s got a chip on her shoulder. Fortunately for her fans, it seems to result in hungry and confident bangers. While we wait for “Body,” let us know what you thought of “Bops” in the comments below. if you haven’t heard it yet, check your preferred streaming service and peep some notable bars below. As always, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Coi Leray.

Quotable Lyrics
They tryna throw rocks (Uh), they think that it’s hopscotch, (Ah)
I pull up, the show stops (Uh), they eyein’ like cyclops, (What else?)
And these b***hes mad, they blame it on TikTok, (Vroom)
And these b***hes mad I got all of these big bops, hold on (Haha)
