Travis Scott Confirms New Music Is “Really On The Way”

December 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Travis Scott has confirmed that he’s got new music on the way. Signing autographs at Art Basel in Miami, Scott answered a fan’s question about releasing the songs he’s been working on during his UTOPIA: CIRCUS MAXIMUS TOUR. “It’s on the way,” Scott said, before taking a pause and adding, “Like, really on the way.”

Fans have been expressing their excitement for new music from Scott on social media in response to the clip. ‘Like, really on the way’ was shots at Playboi Carti,” one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Another added: “We are so back it’s not even funny.” One more wrote: “We are seated and ready to have the classic bro.”

It’s far from the first time Scott has hinted at working on a new album while touring for his latest project, Utopia. Back in January of this year, he suggested being interested in recording music at every stop of the tour. When one fan on X wrote, “Imagine an album where each song is the city it was made in on the tour,” he quote-tweeted it while adding, “r u in my brain or what???” Later in the year, Coachella announced that he’ll be performing at the 2025 edition of the festival, which once again prompted him to tease new music. “NEW CHAPTER NEW PERFORMANCE NEW COACHELLA BY LA FLAME AND CACTUS JACK,” he wrote on Instagram. “FIRST OF ITS KIND PS YALL [ninja emoji] GOT TILL APRIL CAUSE IM COMING.”

Travis Scott Hints At Dropping New Music

Scott dropped Utopia in July 2023 as his fourth studio album. Fans had been waiting on the project for years following several delays in the time since 2018’s Astroworld. Check out Travis Scott’s latest comments on releasing new music below.

Charlamagne Tha God Theorizes Drake Will Have Government Intervene In Kendrick Lamar’s Toronto Show

December 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Charlamagne Tha God says Kendrick Lamar is making a mistake by traveling to Toronto, Canada, on his upcoming tour with SZA. He explained why he thinks Drake will use his contacts in local government to make trouble for the Los Angeles rapper during the latest episode of The Breakfast Club.

“I don’t think I would make that stop– not because of no street stuff either,” Charlamagne began. “When you look at how petty Aubrey Graham is, who just filed a petition against UMG because of ‘Not Like Us,’ we know how connected Drake is in Toronto as far as with government officials and who else. They might just make life difficult for Kendrick on that level. Forget the street stuff. I’m talking about being detained. You can’t even trust people at the airport. Who can you really trust in Toronto?”

“Do you realize Drake boosts the economy of Toronto? Do you realize he gave the city of Toronto an identity?” Charlamagne added. DJ Envy shot down the idea that the local government would weigh in on Lamar’s visit. He also noted that Drake knows he’ll have to come back to Los Angeles for a tour of his own.

Charlamagne Tha God Reacts To Kendrick Lamar’s Tour Announcement

Lamar announced his Grand National Tour on Tuesday, just weeks after surprising fans with his sixth studio album, GNX. It’s a stadium-only tour with 21 shows across the United States and Canada. It will run between April and June of next year. The Toronto show will be held at the Rogers Centre on June 12. Check out Charlamagne Tha God’s full thoughts on Kendrick Lamar performing in Toronto below.

Justin Timberlake Cancels Tour Dates Over Back Injury

December 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Justin Timberlake has canceled another performance on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour due to a back injury sustained during his recent New Orleans show. The 43-year-old artist announced on Saturday that his Dec. 2 concert at Oklahoma City’s Paycom Center would not proceed as planned. As he continues to recover, Timberlake’s commitment to the Forget Tomorrow World Tour underscores his dedication to his craft and audience. Fans remain hopeful that the remaining shows will go on as planned, showcasing the dynamic performances that have solidified his place as a global superstar.

“I’m so sorry, Oklahoma City,” Timberlake shared on his Instagram Story. “I hurt my back in NOLA, and my doctors have instructed me to rest a little longer. I hate doing this, but thank you for your support.” He closed the message with a heartfelt acknowledgment of his fans’ understanding. This marks the third disruption to Timberlake’s tour schedule in recent months.

The Forget Tomorrow World Tour, which supports Timberlake’s latest album Everything I Thought It Was, marks the singer’s first major tour in five years. Spanning the U.S., South America, Europe, and the U.K., the ambitious venture will extend into 2025, incorporating previously postponed dates from October into its February schedule. Fans have eagerly anticipated the tour, which celebrates Timberlake’s evolution as both a pop and R&B icon.

Timberlake’s challenges this year haven’t been limited to health setbacks. In September, the singer resolved a DWI charge, pleading guilty and receiving a $500 fine along with 25 hours of community service. The incident briefly diverted attention from his music, but Timberlake has remained focused on delivering an exceptional experience for his fans. Fellow N’Synce member Joey Fatone attended one of Timberlake’s tour dates and shared the experience with fans on social media. Before that, other group member Lance Bass claimed Diddy helped break up their group advising Justin to leave the group for solo career.

As a result, he canceled a number of scheduled performances including on at Rolling Loud Festival in Miami. It’s currently unclear if Moneybagg Yo plans to reschedule the shows for a later date.

Drake Breaks Record With His “It’s All A Blur” Tour, Makes Over $5M In One Night

August 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Drake set off on his “It’s All A Blur” tour alongside 21 Savage last month, and his recent performances in Washington broke a record. Reportedly, the artist earned more than $5 million each night at Capital One Arena, making him the first rapper ever to earn that much in a single arena performance. The feat is worth celebrating, though it’s unsurprising considering how well the tour has gone thus far. No stranger to success, Drake was also recently named Rap Caviar’s 2023 MVP.

The “It’s All A Blur” tour will run until October, with notable dates in Los Angeles, Inglewood, Toronto, and more. The tour’s featured various special guests so far, including Lil Yachty, and most recently, Meek Mill. It’s been getting a lot of attention for the antics of Drake’s fanbase. Lately, they’ve even been launching bras at the rapper. It all started when one well-endowed fan threw her 36DD bra onstage in Chicago. “Some knocks,” he noted. Ever since, he’s been met with countless pieces of lingerie, including one 36G bra from a fan in Brooklyn. Drake demanded that fans “immediately” locate the woman, and they eventually came through. The woman behind the “knocks” was found to be Veronica Correia, who even reportedly received an offer from Playboy following the incident.

Drake has also been teasing his next album in recent weeks, For All The Dogs. The album is confirmed to feature Nicki Minaj as well as “the old Drake.” Fans are eager to hear the rapper’s latest offering, as evidenced by audiences barking at him during recent tour stops. Listeners shouldn’t have to wait too much longer to hear For All The Dogs, as Drizzy recently revealed it’ll drop in coming weeks.

Alongside the album update, Drake told concertgoers at Madison Square Garden just how much his fans mean to him. “Just know, you’re always with me and I’m always thinking of you and everything I do is for you,” he shared. “Every time I step in that booth, I hope to make you proud.”

August 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Drake and 21 Savage have canceled their upcoming concert at FedExForum in Memphis, Tennessee. In a statement from a representative for Drake, the rapper’s team explains that it would’ve been “logistically impossible” to put on the show at the venue.

News of Drake’s canceled concert comes as he prepares for the release of his next studio album, For All The Dogs. At an It’s All a Blur Tour show in New York City, Drake teased that the project will be dropping in just a few short weeks. “Make new friends. If you drink, drink some liquor. If you smoke, smoke some weed. And if you like somebody, like my dad says, keep fucking,” Drake said on stage. “I will be back soon. I have an album dropping for you in, like, two weeks or some shit. But until then, just know, you’re always with me and I’m always thinking of you. Everything I do is for you. Every time I step in that booth, I hope I make you proud.”

Drake announced the new album in conjunction with the release of his recent book of poetry, Titles Ruin Everything. Drake will continue performing on the It’s All A Blur tour throughout the United States and Canada through October. His next show is Tuesday night at the Wells Fargo Center in Philidelphia. It’s his second night in the city. On Monday, he brought out Meek Mill for a hometown appearance.

Lil Durk Makes Statement After Concert Cancelations

July 19, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Earlier today, it was reported that Lil Durk had to cancel numerous upcoming tour and festival shows. That followed a story that broke last week where Durk was reportedly hospitalized for dehydration and over-exhaustion. Successive reports confirmed that his hospitalization was merely a precaution and that his condition was always fine. But now it seems like he’s taking an opportunity to protect himself going forward by canceling previously announced shows.

Lil Durk made a public statement explaining why he was forced to make the cancellations. “Since I’m still awaiting full clearance from my doctors to travel and perform again, I have no other choice but to cancel my headlining Rolling Loud performance,” his statement begins. “While I’m home resting, I am looking forward to my two homecoming shows on the 11th & 12th in Chicago. For the rest of the country, I’ll be announcing new dates soon. #StillHealing.” Clearly, Durk’s hospitalization resulted in doctors telling him to take some time off. In a post about the announcement, DJ Akademiks notes that Durk’s Rolling Loud Miami performance was set to pay him 750k.

Earlier this year Lil Durk released his new album Almost Healed. The project went on to debut at #2 on the Billboard 200 and for a while, it had the highest first-week sales of any rap album this year. Those numbers were outdone by Lil Uzi Vert’s recent Pink Tape. Despite that, Almost Healed‘s biggest hit “All My Life” featuring J. Cole remains in the top 10 of the Hot 100. Earlier this month the song was even certified platinum.

There could be even more Lil Durk music coming soon. The rapper has repeatedly teased fans with the possibility of an Almost Healed deluxe edition. Earlier this year he claimed that the deluxe version of the album could come out as soon as this summer. It’s unclear how these tour cancelations will impact his plans to eventually release it. What do you think of Lil Durk postponing and canceling shows for health reasons? Let us know in the comment section below.

The Kid LAROI Pulls Out Of Lil Baby’s Tour Amid Canceled Dates

July 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Things just got quite turbulent for Lil Baby’s upcoming “It’s Only Us” tour- but maybe it won’t stay that way. Still, that’s an optimistic perspective, since another big change to the nationwide trek just broke on the Internet. Moreover, it seems like The Kid LAROI will no longer be accompanying the rapper on his journey across the United States. As of writing this article, the other supporting acts, namely Rylo Rodriguez, GloRilla, Gloss Up, and Hunxho, remain on board for the 24 or so dates of the concert series. Furthermore, these reports come after it was revealed that Baby dropped some cities from the tour, reportedly due to low ticket sales.

To elaborate, Lil Baby specifically canceled shows for Las Vegas, Sacramento, San Diego, Salt Lake City, Phoenix, Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Denver, and Louisville. For those who bought tickets to these shows, his team will fully refund the purchases, and some of the new dates aren’t even on sale yet (the new Philly and New York shows go live on Tuesday, July 18). Regarding The Kid LAROI, though, it’s unclear whether this contributed to his exit from the tour. He hasn’t spoken on it as of writing this article, although the Atlanta rapper posted the updated tour lineup on his Instagram page.

Lil Baby Announces New Tour Dates List Without The Kid LAROI

However, in brighter news, Lil Baby brought on none other than Teyana Taylor to co-produce and creative direct the tour. “He say ‘ITS ONLY US’ I say ‘IT’S ONLY UP’ from here!” she announced on social media. “So let’s turn s**t up a notch! Go time @lilbaby. Thank you @lilbaby & @qcmceo_p for trusting @theauntiesinc to creative direct & co-produce The #IOU tour! This one will be one for the books fasho!! Musical direction, choreography, production, visual content, wardrobe, stage presence, whew you def in good hands with one hell of a village & I can’t wait for the world to see how much fun we have with this s**t! @lilbaby @theauntiesinc @humanprsn. ‘IT’S ONLY US’ TOUR COMING TO A CITY NEAR YOU #IOU #Theaunties #Aspiketeyjoint.”

Meanwhile, it’s no doubting the fact that the 28-year-old has the fanbase to pack some stellar shows. It’s unclear whether this was a result of overestimated performance or some other logistical issue. Nevertheless, at least it’s not all bad news concerning the “It’s Only Us” tour. Stay up to date on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Lil Baby and The Kid LAROI.
