Doja Cat Teams With Airbnb For A Unique Stay In West Hollywood

by

Doja Cat is teaming up with Airbnb to provide fans with the opportunity for a unique stay in West Hollywood, California, fully curated by her. The experience will allow fans an intimate look at personal items such as Doja’s grandmother’s paintings, meals incorporating her favorite foods, and more. She’ll also be putting on a performance in the living room, that will consist of “new songs or some of my all-time faves.”

On the Airbnb page for the stay, she writes: “Welcome to my brain! I curated the look and feel of an entire house to match my aesthetic—the ambiance, the design, the menu, and of course, the music for the evening. If I’m being real with you, this is not something I have ever done before. But this was too cool of an opportunity to give something to my fans they’ve never seen before. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for both of us.”

She elaborated: “I’m inviting you to step in my world, where you’ll see my artistry up close and personal. I created the perfect space for you to view some precious family heirlooms—my grandmother’s paintings—followed by a delicious feast of my favorite foods, all leading to an intimate performance of my songs in the living room. But since I’m opening up in a way I never have before, you have to participate a bit as well. I’ve left you a probing question on the vanity that requires you to bare a little of your own soul. It’s only fair.”

Cardi B Celebrated Her Birthday At A $50,000-A-Night Paris Airbnb Amid Offset Drama

by

Happy 32nd birthday to Cardi B, who’s celebrating herself today (Friday, October 11). However, she started early with the festivities, as we now know where she stayed for her travels for Paris Fashion Week as a pre-special day treat to herself. Moreover, according to alleged sources who reportedly spoke to TMZ, the Bronx femcee stayed at a penthouse Airbnb overlooking the Eiffel Tower that cost a whopping $50,000 a night. As you might imagine, the property isn’t available for public booking, instead saving itself for high-end clients such as Cardi. She even thanked Airbnb for the stay in an Instagram recap from her trip, after which she returned to the United States.

You can check that Instagram recap out a bit further down below, but if you want an expanded gallery featuring the Airbnb rental, click on the “Via” link at the end of this article. Of course, a lot of folks expressed particular interest in what Cardi B has been up to these days thanks to the messy divorce between her and Offset. They launched a lot of allegations and attacks at each other, and while things died down, they can always re-ignite.

For example, Cardi B fans already think that she has a new man thanks to a particularly flirty Instagram Live interaction, followed by Internet sleuthing. Ironically enough, this came after she already shut down rumors that she romantically engaged with Stefon Diggs. “The Internet is insane,” the now-32-year-old expressed on Instagram Live. “All these rumors are so f***ing crazy. That’s why I don’t want to address it because I feel like it’s funny. I’ma just let it ride out, ’cause I think it’s cute, it’s funny.”

As for Cardi B and Offset, they actually went to the same club in New York the other night, which brought about a lot of theories and also criticism. Even though this isn’t the first time that they faced issues in their marriage, it feels like it’s for good this time around. All we can hope for is that the nastiness dies down and they can form an amicable bond as coparents.

Airbnb Bans the Use of Indoor Security Cameras in All Listings in Monday Announcement

by
Airbnb Bans the Use of Indoor Security Cameras in All Listings in Monday Announcement

After an announcement on Monday from the short-term rental platform, CNN reported that Airbnb is effectively banning the use of indoor security cameras in listings globally. If you didn’t know, Airbnb previously allowed their hosts to use indoor security cameras in “common areas as long as the devices were disclosed on the listing page and placed in visible spots in the home,” as reported by CNN. However, indoor security cameras weren’t allowed in private spaces like sleeping areas and bathrooms. I mean, that makes sense. 

So here’s where the platform is as of Monday’s announcement stipulating indoor security cameras are “prohibited in any listing, regardless of their location, purpose or prior disclosure.”

Juniper Downs, Airbnb’s head of community policy and partnerships, said, “Our goal was to create new, clear rules that provide our community with greater clarity about what to expect on Airbnb,” from the company’s blog post-Monday.

Using indoor security cameras in Airbnb has been a point of contention for travelers. The update came just about a week after NBC’s Saturday Night Live aired a skit that made jokes about cameras in the toilets of Airbnb listings. Guessing timing is everything, as they say.

Check this: hosts with indoor security cameras “have until April 30 to remove them. After this date, a host who violates the new policy could face consequences including listing or account removal on the platform” from CNN.

Interestingly, outdoor security cameras, like doorbell cameras, are still allowed per Airbnb. Hosts must disclose the location of any of those outdoor cameras to guests before they book.

Tyrese Hit With $25K Lawsuit Over Allegedly Unauthorized Airbnb Alterations

by

Tyrese has seemingly gotten himself into some hot water after a stay at a California Airbnb. According to new court documents obtained by The Blast earlier this week, he’s being sued by Airbnb owner Tiffanique Webb. Webb filed her claim in the Superior Court of California, alleging that Tyrese made various unapproved alterations to her property.

According to her, the “excessive alterations” Tyrese made have left the property un-rentable to other guests, so she’s suing him for loss of earnings. She says the damages exceed his security deposit, seeking more than $25K from the 44-year-old. In California, any changes exceeding $500 made to a rental property must be agreed upon by both parties in writing. Allegedly, Tyrese failed to notify her of the alterations.

Tyrese Accused Of Making “Excessive Alterations” To Rental Property

This isn’t the only legal trouble Tyrese is currently wrapped up in, however. Earlier this year, he sued Home Depot, alleging that he was subject to racial discrimination at one of their stores. In footage that made its rounds online, he’s seen engaging in an argument with a couple of the store’s employees. Allegedly, he had given his card to some friends to use to purchase items that he picked out, and then went to wait in the parking lot. He claims that the employees refused to allow them to purchase the items on his card, and later came in to check them out himself.

“It was only after significant heated discussion with the cashier that Gibson was finally able to complete the transaction,” his suit reads. “The cashier gave no reasonable explanation other than repeating ‘store policy’ and demanded to see a form of identification.” Tyrese accuses the employees of being hesitant to complete the transaction due to he and his friends’ race.

Ari Fletcher Further Targets Airbnb Owner For Posting Pictures Of Her

by

Ari Fletcher continued to call out an Airbnb owner on Twitter, Sunday, after they posted pictures of her in the house online. The owner had claimed that Fletcher and her partner, Moneybagg Yo, filmed a cooking video for her YouTube channel during their stay. While posting Fletcher, the owner took the opportunity to promote their listing on social media.

“People saying I posted a picture in the house SO!!!” Fletcher wrote in a new tweet. “I never posted what I was doing or who I was doing it with! That’s shit they say and watched on the cameras. That’s weird AF!”

Initially, Fletcher explained the situation in a lengthy statement on Twitter.

“If I payed for a air bnb like a regular normal customer, why would you post pictures of me inside your air bnb telling people we was there,” she wrote. “That’s so unprofessional and I was working on something private. I haven’t been at a air bnb in years and this why cause that shit ghetto!!!”

In the owner’s original post, they promoted Fletcher’s upcoming YouTube video in addition to linking to their own rental.

“Moneybagg Yo and Ari… filmed there 1st cooking segment together at 1 of our Airbnb properties,” their post read. “Go subscribe to her YouTube. It will be dropping soon and I’ll drop the link in the comments. If you want to book this property in ATL link will be in the comments. All started with a paint brush.”

This isn’t the first time Fletcher has aired out her grievances on Twitter, this month. After G Herbo admitted to cheating on Fletcher during their previous relationship, the businesswoman responded online. She wrote that she felt she deserved an apology, but that the time has now passed.

Check out Ari Fletcher’s tweets regarding Airbnb below.

“I’m not gonna lie, I kind of always wanted him to be upfront and honest,” she stated. “I always felt like it was just me fighting against all of these people, trying to ‘tell my truth.’ Now at this point, I don’t really care. Back then, I would’ve loved that. Take this weight up off my shoulders, tell these people that I’m not trippin’.”

“Lord Of The Rings” Hobbiton Set Listed On Airbnb

by

Airbnb has listed the actual Hobbiton set from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit for rent. The property is located in New Zealand’s Waikato region.

“For more than two decades, we’ve welcomed millions of passionate fans to Hobbiton Movie Set, but never before has anyone had the opportunity to spend a night in Middle-earth,” host Russell Alexander said in a statement. “I am delighted to share the beauty of my family’s farm and pleased to be hosting this iconic location on Airbnb for fans from around the world.”

WELLINGTON, NEW ZEALAND – MARCH 15: Peter Jackson, New Zealand director of The Lord of the Rings trilogy poses with the props from the film set in his Wingnut Films office in Wellington New Zealand. Jackson has been nominated for best director at the 2002 Academy Awards and his film ‘The Fellowship of the Ring’ has a further 12 nominations. (Photo by Robert Patterson/Getty Images)

Access to “The One-and-Only Hobbiton” will be tough to come by. Reservations will go live on December 13 at 9:00 PM, GMT, and will only cost $6 USD. Additionally, only three individual two-night bookings are available. The stays will take place on March 2-4, March 9-11, as well as March 16-18 in 2023. There will be a maximum of four guests per stay.

“There’s such diverse scenery and landscapes here in New Zealand,” Alexander further added. “It ties back to how Tolkien describes things in the books. From here, I can go a couple hours south and go skiing in the mountains, or 45 minutes to Mount Manganui and I could be surfing. New Zealand has contrasting scenery, it’s all relatively accessible, and it fits into everything Tolkien described.”

Altogether, fans will be able to see 44 Hobbit Holes, The Millhouse, The Green Dragon Inn, and other locations. Guests are responsible for their own transportation to and from Auckland, New Zealand. However, the property will provide a car service to travel to and from the airport.

“Being on tour has reconnected me with my fans and the energy they give me during each show in every city we visit is incredible,” said Bad Bunny. “I’m hoping that by hosting guests in my truck I can give them a chance to feel like they’re on tour with me. This truck has played such a big role in the concept of my tour and my last album that I want to share this unique experience with them.”

The rig was designed by West Coast Customs — remember Pimp My Ride on MTV? With chrome flames, a customized grill and lights, and all leather interiors, the automobile turned Airbnb draws inspiration from Bunny’s bold style choices, vibrant persona, as well as scenes in some of his most popular music videos.

Bhad Bhabie Threatens To Sue Airbnb For Letting Her Sign Up But Not Rent On Its Service

by

Over the past couple of years, the property rental app Airbnb has crossed paths with increasing frequency as rappers have used the service to rent properties for music videos (violating policy in the process), generate a little extra money (Blueface rented out his mansion in 2020), and generally caused mayhem, whether directly or indirectly (as in the case of the house whose floor collapsed due to an exuberant reaction to Young Nudy’s “EA”). However, one rapper is currently having issues with the company that she wants to escalate to legal action.

Bhad Bhabie says she wants to sue Airbnb because she can sign up for the app but as an 18-year-old, isn’t allowed to actually rent a room or home using the service. Posting on Instagram Stories, she wrote, “F*ck @airbnb y’all are weird asf not renting to me Bc I’m 18. FYI I’ve never thrown a party in my life believe it or not. Y’all will b hearing from my lawyer b*tches.” She elaborated on her issue in a second slide, “Why am I able to sign up then??? And before y’all trolls get into a tizzy I use it for travel.”

Instagram/TMZ

However, she has since deleted both slides according to TMZ, perhaps after coming to the realization that Airbnb’s policy was formed to comply with various state and federal regulations, not arbitrarily. The policy reads “in some locations, people under age 25 with fewer than 3 positive reviews can’t book entire home listings within their local areas” but “can still book nearby private rooms and hotel rooms. Outside the local area, they can book any type of listing.”

While it would probably be slightly more convenient for Bhad Bhabie to be able to book out-of-town rentals for travel herself, it seems she is just having her manager do it instead. The only thing we can say is, “Just wait.” Those seven years go by a lot quicker than you think. See above for the screenshots.

Young Nudy’s ‘EA’ Caused A Floor To Collapse At An Airbnb House Party

by

A group of recent college graduates owes a sizable sum to the owner of the Airbnb where they threw their graduation party after their exuberant dancing caused the floor to cave in, resulting in $15,000 worth of damages. The musical culprit that caused the overly enthusiastic reaction? Atlanta’s own Young Nudy, whose 2017 song “EA” featuring cousin 21 Savage is playing the clip that captured the heart-stopping scene, which the party’s organizer posted to Twitter along with the link to a GoFundMe raising funds to pay off the damages.

“We threw the littest graduation party of 2021 at a AirBnB and the floor caved in,” reads the explanation for the clip. “We was listening to EA by Young Nudy and n****s got too lit. Now I have to pay for 15k in damages.” You can see the results in the videos below.

According to the poster, the party was approved by the home’s owner and was upstairs the whole time. He also requested that followers “spam” the rapper to let him “kno what his music doin to people.”

Incidentally, this isn’t the first time a street rapper’s music prompted partygoers to collapse a floor. In 2018, a group of Clemson college students attending a fraternity party and dancing to Chief Keef’s “Faneto” also broke through a floor leaving 30 people injured.
