album rumors

Kendrick Lamar Will Reportedly Embark On Stadium Tour After Super Bowl

by

Ever since the Drake battle ended, Kendrick Lamar fans have been wondering if he will stay quiet for a while longer or if he will follow right back up with more material. When he announced his Super Bowl halftime show earlier this year, it was clear that he plans to make a big splash next year, hopefully with a new album to move on from the beef. Moreover, Bloomberg recently reported that K.Dot is apparently planning a 2025 stadium tour after the Super Bowl, which is why he reportedly turned down a headlining slot at next year’s Coachella festival. Of course, this is all just speculative, so take it with a grain of salt.

However, this seems pretty plausible if Kendrick Lamar does plan to release a new album this year or the next. His last trek for Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers was one of the most successful hip-hop tours of all time, so a level-up doesn’t seem out of the question. Right now, the question is timing. But you know how fans are: they will continue their theorizing and speculation until they actually have an announcement or new release in their hands.

Kendrick Lamar Will Supposedly Hit The Stadiums Next Year

All that said, before Kendrick Lamar embarks on this supposed stadium tour, he will see whether or not he will be up for any Grammys. He submitted three of his Drake diss tracks for consideration at the 2025 awards ceremony: “Like That” with Future and Metro Boomin, “Euphoria,” and “Not Like Us.” Both “Like That” and “Not Like Us” were submitted for Song/Record of the Year and Best Rap Song/Performance, with the latter also being submitted for Best Music Video. For “Euphoria,” on the other hand, we don’t have the info on what categories they submitted it for, but we can assume that it’s for the same ones as the others. Just to be clear, these aren’t official nominations; they’re only tryouts for a nomination, if that makes sense.

Meanwhile, as so many rumors continue to fly around Kendrick Lamar and Drake, many OVO Stans want Kendrick to thank Drizzy for “reviving his career” or whatever else you’ve seen on social media. One of the battle’s biggest consequences is that they will never be able to do anything without the other side holding their grudges…

by

Cardi B says she and Offset are still doing well financially, despite rumors to the contrary spreading online amid reports that she’s facing foreclosure on her Atlanta mansion.

From there, she hopped on X Spaces to discuss the situation further. “If I wanna sell that house today, me and Offset could sell that sh*t in the blink of an eye,” she explained. “But we don’t want to sell our house.” After claiming that she has numerous luxury cars sitting around “collecting dust,” she added: “I close my eyes and I can make money. I might just drop $200,000 on a f*cking necklace, because I can b*tch.” The rumors also come as fans continue to wait for Cardi’s highly-anticipated sophomore album. She’s previously confirmed that the album is finally coming at some point this year. Her debut effort dropped all the way back in 2018.

Cardi B Speaks Out On Her Financial Situation

While Cardi has since deleted her post addressing the financial trouble rumors, check out her X Spaces conversation above. Be on the lookout for further updates on Cardi B on HotNewHipHop.

Karrahboo Seemingly Parts Ways With Lil Yachty’s Concrete Boys

by

Karrahboo and Lil Yachty’s group, Concrete Boys, have seemingly parted ways. As caught by No Jumper, she’s no longer listed on the group’s Instagram page and did not perform with them at Broccoli City Festival in Washington D.C. on Friday. Fans took note of her absence as well. In one post on social media, a fan shared a picture of the stage with the caption, “Nawww this not fair,” while tagging Karrahboo. She reposted the picture while adding, “I agree.” She continued to share numerous other fans’ posts about her not making an appearance throughout the day.

In the comments section of No Jumper’s post about the situation, fans had mixed responses to the idea of her moving on. “Ngl when I went to the show the crowd was more lit to her songs than anything else…” one user posted. Another disagreed, writing: “Prolly the weakest member of the group.” Others theorized the entire drama is simply a promotion for her own album.

Karrahboo still hasn’t clarified her position in Concrete Boys after the festival performance. Earlier this year, she appeared on the group’s It’s Us Vol. 1 compilation album for the songs, “WHERE YO DADDY?” “NOT DA 2,” “HIT DIFF,” and “JEFF & LITA.” Yachty possibly addressed the situation in a post on X on Saturday, writing: “yall be letting this internet guide yall. in real life sh*t is different i’m tellin u.”

Nicki Minaj and Kenneth Petty have been together for a very long time. Although they were apart for many years, they eventually found their way back to one another. Since that time, they have gotten married and they even have their own child together. Overall, their relationship has been controversial at times. That said, their loyalty to one another has always been apparent. However, that seemingly changed this past week when Nicki tweeted “Yes single.”

Fans felt like there were two options to what she was saying here. Firstly, she is dropping a new single soon. Secondly, she and Kenneth Petty are no longer together. The latter is a more salacious matter, so it is no surprise that’s what the internet went with. Nicki is active on social media, and it’s clear that she was reading the speculation. We know this because last night, she posted a video of her, Papa Bear, and Petty getting on a private plane for a private outing. It was a cute clip, and it goes to show that the family is still very much together.

Rihanna Shuts Down New Album Questions On Instagram Live

by

Rihanna is making it clear she’s not here for the questions. During a recent Instagram Live session, she showcased her fiery spirit when it comes to dealing with fans’ incessant demands for her upcoming album. In a classic RiRi fashion, she shut down the noise with a message that was both cool and candid. During the live session following her fiery performance in India, Rih, alongside a friend, took a moment to address the relentless clamor from fans eagerly awaiting her next musical masterpiece. With a mix of exasperation and humor, she urged her followers to take a chill pill, emphasizing, “Guys just relax, just be cool.”

Rihanna’s unapologetic demeanor serves as a reminder that artists are more than their creative output. They’re human beings with lives, passions, and priorities beyond the studio. So while the world eagerly awaits Rihanna’s next musical offering, let’s heed her advice and chill out in the meantime. However, recently, Rocky was overheard reassuring a fan who was eager to know when Rihanna would be releasing new music, stating, “She’s working on it.” Speculation and hearsay regarding Rihanna’s comeback to the music scene have been circulating for quite some time. Moreover, the timing of Rihanna’s appearance in India wasn’t merely coincidental. She graced the celebration of Anant Ambani, the son of one of India’s wealthiest tycoons, alongside his betrothed Radhika Merchant.

Rihanna Is Over The New Music Questions

Rihanna’s presence added an extra layer of grandeur to the already lavish affair. Reports suggest that Rihanna’s performance was nothing short of spectacular, featuring a medley of her chart-topping hits. However, such excellence comes at a price, and in Rihanna’s case, it’s a hefty one. According to the Daily Mail, the Barbadian songstress commanded a staggering $5 million for her stage time. While some might balk at the astronomical figure, it’s important to put it into perspective. The entire wedding extravaganza reportedly rang up a jaw-dropping bill of $120 million, making Rihanna’s fee seem like a mere drop in the bucket.

Furthermore, RiRi’s willingness to perform at such high-profile events highlights her status not just as a musical icon but also as a symbol of prestige and luxury. Her involvement in the Ambani wedding underscores the global appeal and influence she commands, transcending geographical and cultural boundaries. However, amidst the glitz and glamour, Rihanna’s message to her fans resonates strongly. Despite her undeniable star power and the anticipation surrounding her next album, she remains grounded, urging fans to exercise patience and cool their jets.

Kanye West Shuts Down Solo Album Rumors After Erick Sermon Teases “Y3”

by

Earlier this month, Erick Sermon chatted with HipHopDX about a new solo project Kanye West has on the way. According to Ye, however, it’s nothing but “fake news.” At the time, Sermon claimed that he had worked alongside the Chicago MC in Florence, Italy in 2023, on material that wasn’t for his joint project with Ty Dolla Sign, Vultures. He even shared details of the rumored release, stating that fans would see a return of the “old Ye.”

“The record I was working on wasn’t what him and Ty Dolla Sign was doing at the time,” he explained. “I was working on Y3, Ye’s solo album […] Hopefully, we can finish what we started, y’know, ’cause I had him on Hip Hop. I was like, ‘You got to rhyme and we have to do the stuff that you used to do ’cause you ill at that,’ y’know? And he listened […] I had [the old Kanye] back.” Now, Ye has responded to a fan account asking about the project, making it clear that it doesn’t actually exist.

“This is fake news. Ain’t no album called Y3.

We got the number 1 song in the world and number 1 album in the world with top level beats top level bars top level hooks top level features,” Ye added, “I’m the greatest artist in any genre ever. And I’m just getting started.”

Cardi B Fans Spread “Missing” Poster Of The Rapper Around, Album Rollout Rumors Swirl

by

The Bardi Gang wants to know where Cardi B is, and they went so hard in their search that some fans think it’s actually a calculated new album rollout. Moreover, a Stan account on Twitter shared a “missing” poster for her around Saturday (February 24) including her age, description, height, etc., and asked fans to spread the word. Miami fans started printing out these images of the Bronx rapper’s “missing” poster around the city, and according to XXL, similar situations popped up in Mexico, Paris, and New York City. While the poster says she went missing on January 1, fans know that her last very public outing was a Valentine’s Day date with Offset.

Furthermore, a lot of folks interpreted this date as a sign that the two are getting back together following a whole lot of ups and downs. In fact, a lot of readers probably remember when we thought they were done for good a couple of… months? Years ago? Both are probably true. Jokes aside, they’re in a seemingly very supportive mode right now, and in a way that actually relates to this “missing” poster. Offset recently previewed Cardi B’s new album and asked her to drop it already, so maybe we’re very, very close.

Cardi B “Missing” Poster Goes Around Thanks To Fans Wanting An Album Rollout

After all, back when she was promoting “Bongos” with Megan Thee Stallion, she told the media that she’s expecting a first-quarter drop in 2024. Things can change rapidly, of course, but the Bardi Gang is holding out hope that the 31-year-old will finally follow up on her six-year promise. Cardi B has the potential to make a massive splash with another project, and there’s a lot of pressure on her to impress and succeed. But with so much fan excitement behind it, we can’t envision this not being a huge moment for hip-hop in 2024.

Meanwhile, another aspect that gives credence to this prediction is her and Latto’s “Put It On Da Floor Again” going platinum. A lot of success is carrying over into this potential new rollout here, and it will take a lot to fully capitalize on it. We’re sure that the “Get Up 10” spitter is putting all the pieces together for her full vision. With that in mind, stay up to date on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Cardi B.

Is Beyonce Doing A Country Album? Fans Certainly Think So

by

The latest obsession of the BeyHive is a theory that Beyonce is preparing to do a country album. Like the best conspiracy theories, fans have seemingly pulled this idea out of the most tenuous crumbs. First, there is Beyonce’s “country-inspired” Grammys outfit. This included a chequered duster and bright white Stetson. Then there is the fact that Beyonce’s website lists Renaissance as officially Act 1 – Renaissance. This has reignited the idea that Renaissance is meant to be the first part of a trilogy. This means there is allegedly two more albums of new music from Beyonce. Finally, there is a line that has resurfaced from her 2019 song “Black Parade. To many fans, the line “I’m going back to the South, where my roots ain’t watered down” is an indication that Beyonce is “going country” (just look at them boots).

However, there have been previous rumors about the contents of Renaissance’s second and third acts. A now-deleted tweet from Kyle Buchanan at the New York Times appeared to indicate that “Act 2” would be an acoustic album while “Act 3” would be a fully collaborative album with JAY-Z. However, neither claim was addressed by the singer’s camp. For the time being, fans will have to wait and see if Beyonce does indeed go the Lana Del Rey route and drop a surprise country album.

Fans Beg Beyonce To Release RENAISSANCE Visuals After Footage Leak

Meanwhile, fans are begging Beyonce to release visuals accompanying her RENAISSANCE album. The renewed requests came after footage of the singer filming in a green screen suit was released online. The BTS footage shows Beyonce wearing a bodysuit and a large coat decked in a shade of green reserved for post-production editing. Also known as a green screen, visuals can then be easily applied over the green material.

Fans were absolutely gagging for the full footage to be released. This led to much debasing on social media, begging the singer on social media to drop the full edited visuals. “RANDOM AF 2 YEARS LATER LIKE HELP MEEE WE WERE GETTING A MASTERPIECE😭😭😭😭😭,” the original poster of the footage wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “beyoncé i wanna see this and the rest of the renaissance visuals on youtube by the end of February,” added another fan.
