Drake Gifts Pregnant Fan $25,000 & An Invite Into The VIP Section

by

Drake has made it a habit to help out his fans in need during his ongoing It’s All A Blur Tour — Big As The What? tour. On the latest stop, the Toronto rapper offered to gift a pregnant fan $25,000 and even had security escort them out of the pit and into the V.I.P. section. She had been holding up a sign referencing his song, “Rich Baby Daddy.”

“She’s got a sign that says, ‘I’m five months pregnant, can you be my rich baby daddy.’ Well, first of all, I don’t want to offend your real baby daddy, but I would love to, first of all, get you out of the pit so we could put you somewhere safe like the V.I.P. or some sh*t. Because you can’t be pregnant and bouncing around,” Drake said. “When I start playing something, we can’t have you getting pushed around. Second of all, I’d love to give you $25,000.”

During a previous stop on the tour, Drake teased that he’s getting back in the studio and working on new music. “You know, I said I was taking a break and all that sh*t, but I’m right back on the road again,” he told the crowd at one show. “It’s hard for me to stay away from y’all — I really do love you. You never know. I might get bored and start making some new music on the road, see where it goes in the next little while.” He had previously told fans he’d be taking a lengthy break after the release of For All The Dogs. He’s since teamed up with 4batz for a remix to “act ii: date @ 8.”

Megan Thee Stallion Reveals Which Cities She’ll Tour This Summer

by

Megan Thee Stallion already came out swinging in 2024. Following last year’s single “Cobra” she maintained her intensity on “HISS.” The track was aimed at numerous contemporaries and haters she’s beefed with in the past. Despite the wide range of disses many who heard the song honed in on one foe, in particular, Nicki Minaj. The Megan’s Law lyric went viral in the days following the release of “HISS” and prompted a robust response from Nicki that included a universally maligned diss track.

Now Megan is capitalizing on some of the hype she’s generated. Later this year she’s taking off on a summer tour and while the dates aren’t nailed down yet she did take to Instagram to reveal where she’ll be visiting. She posted a graphic listing 27 cities across North America and Europe that she’ll be stopping at on tour later this year. The “Hot Girl Summer Tour” will take off in mid May and it’s not clear yet exactly how far into the summer it’ll run. “HOTTIESSS GET READY TO COME HAVE SOME FUN WITH ME AT THEE HOT GIRL SUMMER TOUR ☀☀☀ Get your outfits ready nowww! We getting started this MAY” she captioned the Instagram post. Fans will be able to see the specific dates for each city next week on March 20. Check out the announcement below.

Megan Thee Stallion Announces Tour Cities

Many fans are hoping that the new singles and upcoming tour are building up to new album from Megan Thee Stallion. Her last project Traumazine dropped back in 2022. “HISS” debuted at number one in its first week on the Hot 100. Though it’s slowly slipped in the month since it’s still charting now. This week it turns up at number 94 on the chart. The song has persisted on the chart far longer than Nicki’s response “Big Foot.” That track debuted in the 20s before falling off the chart entirely in its second week.

What do you think of the list of cities Megan Thee Stallion is hitting on tour this year? Do you plan on seeing one of the shows on the Hot Girl Summer tour? Let us know in the comment section below.

Megan previously announced she’s working on a new album and will be touring on Good Morning America back in January. “For the past couple years, music just seemed so negative to me,” she said during the interview. “I just wasn’t in a good space mentally after everything that had happened to me, and it just all felt like I’m tired of this, I’m tired of fighting, I had to tell myself, ‘You know what? I don’t want to give up.’ I love a lot of things, but music is the one that I know I always super tried at and the one thing I know my mama knew I wanted to do. So, I said I can’t give up this fight, I just have to put it in the music and I feel like it was like therapy, it was like a real diary entry.”

JT Claps Back At Hater Roasting The Venues She’s Playing On Tour

by

Later this month, JT is taking off on tour. She’s hitting a handful of American cities starting on March 22, but not everyone was thrilled about the announcement. One particular hater following her online decided to make a tweet aimed at some of the venues she booked. “JT is really over, she performing at bars” the tweet read. In particular, they highlighted a bar and grill that’s playing host to her Miami show. While the City Girls rapper didn’t directly respond to the tweet she made a post of her own that seems to acknowledge it.

“Whatever city yall in just call the club for yall tables or whatever!! baby we bout to jam out!! Wear deodorant!” her tweet reads. The entire interaction was collected into an Instagram post by No Jumper where fans responded to the situation. One of those who chimed in was none other than Sexyy Red. “What’s wrong wit ah bar if they booked her I’m lost?” her comment reads. That sentiment is generally expressed by most of the comments on the post. “What’s wrong with performing at a bar” and “Booked and busy all I see so” two other comments read. Check out the posts and fan interactions to them below.

In the past few weeks, JT has sparked controversy for her continued support of Nicki Minaj. Minaj’s beef with Megan Thee Stallion resulted in a number of moments that fans felt were absolutely vile.

Despite all of it, the City Girls start continued to have Nicki’s back in numerous public social media interactions.

What do you think of JT’s response to a fan criticizing the venues she booked for her tour? Do you think she should be playing less bars and clubs going forward? Let us know in the comment section below.

In addition to excitement from fans, many users in the comments section took issue with the lack of some major cities. “Girl where is NEW ORLEANS. Do I need to have my ppl hit your ppl?” one follower wrote. Others complained about not having shows in Chicago, Atlanta, and more. One fan noted that the Detroit concert doesn’t have a date confirmed yet. “Now why Detroit don’t got a date?! don’t piss us off,” they wrote.

Sexyy Red Pops Out At Drake’s New Orleans Tour Stop For “Rich Baby Daddy”

by

Sexyy Red and Drake continue their strong collaborative bond by reuniting on one of their first link-ups. Moreover, months after she joined his It’s All A Blur trek with 21 Savage last year, she popped out as a special guest for his J. Cole assisted tour, Big As The What? This happened last night (Wednesday, March 6) for their New Orleans show, a second of which is happening tonight (Thursday, March 7) and should also feature the “SkeeYee” hitmaker. They both seemed to have a great time together onstage, and it continues their streak of meeting points and team-ups as two of the biggest hip-hop stars out right now.

Furthermore, this follows some other exciting news relating to this performance trio of Drake, Sexyy Red, and J. Cole. Moreover, the latter two were recently announced to perform at the Dreamville Festival this year, with other headliners including Nicki Minaj and SZA. Overall, it should be a very exciting and star-studded affair, and Drizzy knows this thanks to the amazing time he had at the festival last year. Fans hope that Sexyy and Cole will bring their same great energy to these sets.

What’s more is that Sexyy Red probably has a lot to look forward to and promote for the rest of 2024. Whether it’s new music videos, new music previews, new social media snippets… or a new relationship, some fans think, there’s a lot she’s been building up to for the first two months of 2024. Hopefully there’s something big coming this summer, or perhaps around the time of the Dreamville Festival. Either way, fans on the Big As The What? tour can expect to see the 25-year-old again if they hit the Oklahoma City shows on March 18 and 19.

Meanwhile, what do you think about the Toronto superstar bringing out his “muse” for this New Orleans tour stop? What else do you want to see from these two and from other collaborators? However you may feel, drop your thoughts in the comments section down below. Also, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Sexyy Red, Drake, and J. Cole.

Chris Brown Announces 2024 Tour Dates With The Help Of Ayra Starr & Muni Long

by

Chris Brown’s hitting the road yet again this summer, and fellow musicians Ayra Starr and Muni Long will join him on the trek. Moreover, the 11:11 tour will kick off on June 5 in Detroit, Michigan and will cover many United States cities, as well as some Canadian spots; namely Montréal (June 20), Toronto (June 22), and Vancouver (July 27). The trio will embark on this journey for about two months before wrapping things up in Los Angeles, California on August 6. For those interested, the artist presale (password SENSATIONAL) goes live tomorrow (Wednesday, March 6) at 10AM, whereas the general public will gain access to tickets on Monday (March 11) at 10AM. Both time zones for the drop are unspecified, but they are presumably Eastern Time.

Furthermore, the “BEG FORGIVENESS” singer’s special guests are dividing duties. Ayra Starr will join the tour for its first few dates, performing from Detroit to Toronto from June 5 to June 22. Then, Muni Long will hit Chris Brown’s stage for a show in Boston, and then he’ll have two solo shows in Philly and Baltimore before bringing Long back for the remainder of the July and August dates. Seems like a pretty promising lineup for breezy summer days, right?

Chris Brown’s 11:11 Tour With Ayra Starr & Muni Long: See Dates

As such, fans are pretty excited about this new run of shows, even if the Virginia native has some heavier stuff on his mind. Reports recently emerged that he could lose his home to cover for his alleged $1.76 million debt to Popeyes in their legal case. For those unaware, the company sued Chris Brown and accused him of failing to fulfill his financial obligations for two restaurant locations that he invested in. Not only that, but the court is not obligated to warn him of when authorities could seize certain assets to reclaim the money they are supposedly owed

Meanwhile, it will be interesting to see whether there are any promotional or partnership hiccups for the 11:11 tour. After all, the 34-year-old accused Ruffles of blocking him from the NBA Celebrity All-Star Game recently. Although he is still reckoning with his past crimes, the debate on how far this leniency should go is a heated one. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest updates and more news on Chris Brown.

Drake Wants To Pay A Fan’s Deceased Mother’s House Off

by

Drake’s recently become known for his charitable spirit on tour, whether it was last year’s It’s All A Blur trek with 21 Savage or his current Big As The What? expansion with J. Cole. Moreover, a fan in Kansas City got a huge blessing and a cathartic moment of tribute on his show on Saturday (March 2). Moreover, the 6ix God received a note onstage from a nearby concert-goer who asked him if he could pay off his deceased mother’s house.

“This is it?” Drake asked the fan who passed him a note explaining their situation. “You said, ‘Pay off my mom’s house, rest in peace.’ Your mom passed away? Alright, and you owe… Oh, this is the outstanding balance right here. This is a lot of money right here. But you know what? I’ma pay off your momma’s house for you. That’s a lot of money right here. That’s 106 bands right here, but I’m gonna pay out of my pocket, that’s going to come from me. Rest in peace to your momma, rest in peace to your momma.”

Drake Does Huge Favor For Fan Who Lost His Mother: Watch

We wonder what hoops Drake and his team have to go through in order to get this money to the right person, and that presumably difficult process is just another reason to admire the effort. However, news around the Big As The What? tour became quite tragic and saddening as of late. A mother and daughter tragically lost their lives as they made their way home from the Missouri concert when a car struck them on the street. The Toronto entertainer paid tribute to their memory during a Buffalo stop.

Meanwhile, this run of shows also brought along its fair share of special guests, such as Machine Gun Kelly and Doe Boy at Drizzy and Cole’s Cleveland concert. As such, it’s been a pretty balanced trek so far that brings fun, hope, spectacle, tender moments, and above all, great connection through art. While we can say the same about many artists on tour, these gestures are going above and beyond. For more news and the latest updates on Drake, check back in with HNHH.

Barbz Give Monica Her Flowers For “Pink Friday 2” Opening Night

by

The Barbz have shown out for Monica, who is serving as Nicki Minaj’s supporting act on the Pink Friday 2 tour. Minaj’s fanbase had nothing but love for the veteran singer, who performed in an unorthodox midshow break, as opposed to being a true “opener” for Minaj. Fans not only praised Monica, but warned fans unfamiliar with her work to be nice or else during the tour’s run. It’s unclear if Minaj has plans for any surprise guests on the tour.

The Pink Friday 2 tour opened in Oakland to rave reviews from fans. The tour will throughout the next few months, ending with Minaj headlining Wireless Fest in London. “Instead of doing another arena show in London after we sold out in the first week, I opted to do Wireless Festival. This year’s show will be a billion times more special, creative, beautiful, cohesive, ugh! I’m so excited. I’d like to tell you guys thank you in advance. Last year was so meaningful but won’t compare. Just wait & see,” Minaj said of the tour-ending festival set.

Nicki Minaj Fans Chant “F*ck Latto” At Opening Show Of Pink Friday 2 Tour

Meanwhile, The Barbz were out for blood at the tour’s opening show, with members of the audience heard chanting “F-ck Latto” at several points. The animosity towards Latto likely stems from her beef with Ice Spice, who is considered a Minaj “ally” after several collabs between the two. Furthermore, Latto is considered a Cardi B “ally” after the pair collaborated on “Put It On Da Floor Again” last year.

Latto and Spice have been trading blows for the last few weeks. Spice released the diss track “Think You The Sh-t (Fart)” before going after Latto for using her music video footage in a TikTok. Meanwhile, Latto hit back with “Sunday Service” and also referred to Spice as a “little girl” in a clapback post on social media.

Nicki Minaj Kicks Off “Pink Friday 2” Tour In Oakland: See The Barbz’ Reactions

by

Nicki Minaj officially kicked off her Pink Friday 2 tour on Friday (March 1) in Oakland, California, and fans couldn’t be happier with the results. Moreover, the Barbz took to social media to share not just their hype for the trek, but in the case of those who attended, some high praise. For example, many folks remarked on the extensive and versatile setlist, whereas others lauded the production design, outfit changes, Monica’s mid-show slot, and much more. Most importantly, though, die-hards are very happy to see the Trinidadian MC’s excited and engaged energy during this first show, and hope it continues for the rest of the journey.

Furthermore, it was mostly a very wholesome affair, but the Barbz let some of their online crusading into the building, too. For example, fans started a “F**k Latto” chant during this Oakland tour-opening show, alluding to Latto and Nicki Minaj’s beef in the past. It’s disheartening to see this feud bleed into live spaces, especially because it opens the floodgates for more combative scenarios moving forward. But die-hards were happy to chant along, and hopefully these femcees flaunt their artistry more competitively as a result.

Barbz React To The Pink Friday 2 Tour’s Opening Night

As the first female rapper to hit a billion streams in 2024, Nicki Minaj has a lot to celebrate, and a lot of material to showcase. From what setlist.fm indicates, this first show was obviously very dominant with Pink Friday 2, but contained plenty of beloved classics and gems across her catalog. Although the 41-year-old has a lot of new endeavors and releases to promote and hone, we’re sure that this must be a cathartic moment for Barbz everywhere who’ve been waiting to see her for so long. With that in mind, you can see it for yourself and check out more fan reactions down below.

Meanwhile, this unfortunately coincided with a new lawsuit against her and her husband Kenneth Petty for alleged backstage assault. This certainly paints the Pink Friday 2 tour in a different light, yet it’s important to note that isolated (and especially alleged) incidents are not reflective of any wider patterns. Still, it’s not the first accusation thrown their way, so we’ll see what comes of it. On that note, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Nicki Minaj.
