Ice Spice Debuts Starry Super Bowl Ad

February 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The full Starry’s Super Bowl ad featuring Ice Spice has finally dropped. In the ad, Spice is being rizzed up the soda brand’s two animated mascots when her “ex-boyfriend” shows up to try and win back the rapper. When she rejects him, the man’s head horrifyingly explodes in a fountain of soda. Titled “It’s Time To See Other Sodas”, the ad dropped on February 2. However, contrary to the belief of some gossip sites, the ad did not reveal any details of the rapper’s actual love life.

However, it’s not Spice’s first food and drink advertising collab. Before she was doing Super Bowl ads, she was appearing in Dunkin commercials. Last year, Spice teamed up with Ben Affleck to promote her limited-time signature drink at the coffee chain. The first ad for the Ice Spice Munchkins Drink dropped during the VMAs on September 12. In something of a meta advertisement, Spice and certified Boston Boy Ben Affleck tried to come up with names for her signature drink. It’s a fun little spot with Affleck turning his Southie accent up to 11 while an unimpressed Spice serves as his straight woman.

Ice Spice Fires Off At Latto

However, exploding the heads of inferior soda-loving exes is not the only thing that Spice has been up to lately. Spice renewed her beef with Latto with some scathing remarks during a recent Spaces AMA. While answering fan questions, Spice went off about Latto playing the music video for “Pretty Girl” in the background of a recent video. “Why am I in the back of your weak a– snippet? I thought it was fake, I thought it had to be AI but no. Like be bold, but if you’re going to talk about me, then talk about me. Why am I in the back of your weak a– snippet?” Spice off to the collection of shocked listeners.

This latest barrage from the Bronx rapper comes after she dropped “Think U The Shit (Fart)” in which she took direct shots at Latto. It’s still unclear what caused the beef to initially kick off. However, fans immediately drew battle lines. Latto is yet to directly respond to both Spice’s new single and the latest comments about the surprise cameo in her latest snippet. Whose side are you on? Let us know in the comments.

Drake Stars In Advertisement For His New Fragrance Oils

January 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake has already extended his reach well beyond the world of music. Back in 2020, he increased the scope of his range into the world of fragrances. That came when his Better World Fragrance House dropped a candle called Carby Musk. The scent was designed to smell just like the rapper himself and give fans the chance to do the same. Now after a few years of quiet, the brand is back and they’re debuting an entirely new kind of product.

Better World Fragrance House is now dabbling in fragrance oils. It won’t surprise fans to learn that the very first scent available is the very same Carby Musk. To celebrate and promote the release of the new product, Drake dusted off his acting skills and played the lead role in an advertisement for it. “A scent for any setting, Carby Musk. Whenever, however, make it yours,” the caption of the Instagram post for the charming ad reads. Check out the short promotional video below.

Over the past few weeks Drake has been dealing with a strange feud. It started when Yasiin Bey claimed that the rapper’s music was something closer to pop than rap because it’s the kind of thing you hear while shopping. Drizzy fired back on his Instagram story first with an old clip of Method Man and then more directly by calling Bey a “crackhead.” In the weeks since, videos of both rappers have come out that have changed people’s perspective on the beef quite a bit.

Drake is also containing to rack up impressive commercial milestones. Earlier this week Billboard issued the 500th edition of the Artist 100 chart. Drizzy is the only artist to have appeared on the chart every single week since its inception in 2014 which also made him the first artist to hit 500 entries. What do you think of Drake releasing a fragrance oil based on his own scent? Do you like the promotional video he made for the new product? Let us know in the comment section below.

Cardi B Threatens To Sue Over AI Ad: “I Love Easy Money”

November 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Cardi B recently took to Twitter to call attention to an advertisement that used artificial intelligence (AI) to replicate her voice. The ad urges viewers to “pay attention” to Cardi’s advice in order to receive $16K, which her fans note sounds a bit too good to be true. It looks like the rapper agrees, and never approved of the advertisement being created. Moreover, she appears to be considering taking legal action over the debacle, which could mean trouble for the ad’s creators.

“AI is cr*zy smh,” she wrote. “Another lawsuit that fell right on my lap… I love easy money.” It’s no secret that as AI continues to advance, there are more opportunities than ever for companies to take advantage of unwitting celebrities’ fanbases. Cardi has made it clear, however, that she won’t be letting this one slide. This is far from the first time an artist has publicly taken issue with AI, as fans just recently saw Bad Bunny tear into a viral song that used the technology to replicate his vocals.

Cardi B Says Lawsuit “Fell Right On [Her] Lap”

The Puerto Rican performer ranted to fans in his WhatsApp group earlier this month, letting them know that if they really support him, they won’t be listening to the A.I. track. “If you guys liked that sh*t of a song that’s viral on TikTok, leave this group right now,” he explained in Spanish. “You don’t deserve to be my friends (sic),” he added before telling fans of the viral song to “‘chu chu’ out of” the group.

It seems as though Cardi feels similarly about the issue, and is willing to go to court to rest her case. What do you think of Cardi B threatening to take legal action over the A.I. ad? Do you think her anger is justified, or is she overreacting? Has artificial intelligence gone too far? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Shaq Laments His Size In New Pepsi Ad With Skee-Lo: Watch

November 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Shaq is someone who will commit to any sort of money-making endeavor. Overall, he is a very astute businessman. He is the president of Reebok right now, and he is even the face of numerous brands. From Icy Hot to Papa John’s, the former NBA champion knows how to get his face out there. He is worth hundreds of millions of dollars thanks to these endorsements, and he will continue to make money, by any means necessary. Quite frankly, it is a very honorable trait to have.

That said, Shaq just so happens to also be someone who is involved with the likes of Pepsi. Pepsi is one of the biggest brands in the world and they are always coming through with unique ad campaigns. Consequently, it should come as no surprise that they would enlist Shaq for their most recent endeavor. In the “Pepsi Minis” ad below, the basketball star laments about his height. Meanwhile, Skee-Lo comes in to deliver a remix of his hit song “I Wish.”

Shaq x Skee-Lo x Pepsi

“I wish I was a little bit smaller/ A mini Shaq baller/ I wouldn’t have to yell when I talk to a toddler/ I wish I had more legroom on a plane or a train, life is tough when you taller,” Skee-Lo says on the remixed song. It is a cool ad that creates the right marketing opportunity given who Shaq is. Overall, he is a recognizable face, and the contrast between him and mini cans of Pepsi is humorous. Although you don’t actually need us to tell you that.

Hopefully, we will get to see more of Shaq soon. Of course, he is always a fixture on Inside The NBA. However, there are plenty of other opportunities for his personality to shine. Let us know what you thought of the ad, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from around the sports world. We will always be sure to keep you informed.

Did Snoop Dogg Quit Smoking Weed? Rapper’s Latest Instagram Post Suggests Not

November 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Snoop Dogg has been in the music industry for decades, meaning he has a strong idea of what appeals to the public, and what they fail to buy. He’s a marketing genius – and we can say that especially after his latest campaign with Solo Stove. As you may recall, the California native made a shocking announcement earlier in November, announcing his plans to “give up smoke” in an undeniably dramatic Instagram post. Snoop’s deliberate wording made some raise their eyebrows about how literally they should take him. However, many other artists were quick to assume he meant his love for cannabis and vowed to quit the drug with him.

If Coi Leray and Meek Mill are still going through with their plans to stay sober, they’ll be disappointed that their inspiration was only trolling with his news. On Monday (November 20), the Death Row head’s IG profile lit up with a new video explaining he’s not quitting weed at all. Rather, he’s partnering with Solo Stove to promote their smokeless fire pit products. “I’m done with smoke. I’m going smokeless with @solostove #ad,” he wrote in his caption.

In the accompanying video, the legendary lyricist makes an announcement that he’s “giving up smoke,” as his initial post declared. “I know what you’re thinking, ‘Snoop, that’s kinda your whole thing!’” he tells the camera. “But I’m done with it. I’m done with the coughing and my clothes smelling all sticky-icky. I’m going smokeless. Solo Stove fixed fire, they took out the smoke. Clever.” Clever, indeed, Doggfather.

Elsewhere in the news, Snoop Dogg is just one of the artists whom embattled industry executive Suge Knight has been discussing lately. Earlier this month, the incarcerated star revealed some of the behind-the-scenes tactics he allegedly used to help the “B**ch Please” hitmaker beat his murder case. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Jamie Foxx Was A “Ball Of Energy” According To Commercial Co-Star

September 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jamie Foxx was reportedly a “ball of energy” on the set of a new commercial according to his co-star for the piece, Kristen Radford Thom. The commercial is for BetMGM’s latest promotional campaign. Thom spoke about the experience of working with Foxx with PEOPLE.

“One of my favorite actors, and he was kind and humble and hilarious — all wrapped up in a ball of energy!” Thom told the outlet. “He came over to our table (we were sitting right behind him while he played piano) and just opened up to us. As private as he is, he was pretty open to our table about his situation without telling us exactly what happened.”

The advertisement features Foxx rocking a black suit while playing piano at NoMad Library inside the Park MGM Las Vegas. Foxx filmed the spot back in July. “He was the nicest,” Thom said of Foxx. “He was funny. His improv abilities are unmatched. The entire set was laughing at his jokes. He is talented, in the most natural way.” The filming of the BetMGM commercial came after Foxx’s medical emergency, earlier this year.

The actor was hospitalized with an undisclosed condition in April and remained under medical care for months before confirming what was ailing him. The lack of information caused rampant speculation about his condition. He finally addressed the situation in a message to fans on Instagram in July. “I went through something that I thought I would never ever go through and I know a lot of people were waiting or wanting to hear updates but to be honest with you I just didn’t want you to see me like that man,” he said at the time. “I want you to see me laughing, having a good time, partying, cracking a joke, doing a movie, television show, I didn’t want you to see me with tubes running out of me and trying to figure out if I was going to make it through.”

NBA YoungBoy Is The Face Of Supreme’s Latest Ad

August 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

NBA YoungBoy and Supreme have something in common: they have just as many fans as they do haters these days. In the Baton Rouge rapper’s case, that’s been built in for most of his career, and he continues to exceed expectations despite that. On the other hand, the streetwear brand had its explosive moment in pop culture, and has understandably and naturally dwindled a bit since. Still, they are two titans in their fields, and it’s only natural for them to team up and cause a bit fo a ruckus online. Moreover, YB recently posed for some pics in Supreme for their Instagram page, and fans had divided reactions.

While some fans threw a lot of praise at the Richest Opp MC as they always do, his haters said that this meant the end of the Supreme brand. Regardless, others were glad about the mixed reception (to a photo? Seems a bit much), because now it will be easier for them to cop some stuff. That aside, YoungBoy Never Broke Again wore a classic red box shirt, and donned a black box hoodie in another picture. What’s more is that he appeared with a child, presumably one of his own, and beside some stacks of cash that cornily spell out an “S.”

However, perhaps the most interesting thing about this photoshoot is that the 23-year-old wore his Opium chain. If you recall, he and Playboi Carti sent fans into a frenzy when the latter posted the former wearing the rage label’s chain on his Instagram Story. Reports emerged of this being a gift from the label boss Carti himself, and many think that there’s a collab album or some other link-up on the way. Neither artist publicly confirmed this news, but at least it’ll only slightly break the Internet if it drops.

Might that be the most volatile, annoying, meat-riding, and viral fanbase crossover in history? Probably, but with no official news, we’ll just have to wait and see if it actually goes down. In the meantime, we’re sure that YB will continue to cross over with brands and become a bigger artist. With that in mind, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on NBA YoungBoy.
