Cardi B Gives Surprise Performance At GloRilla Tour Stop In New York
Cardi B just gave a surprise performance at GloRilla’s tour stop in the former’s home city of New York. Even though the “WAP” MC has no shortage of public occurrences and McDonald’s meals, she’s been a bit away from the spotlight. Moreover, she’s hard at work on her second album, spending family time, and fulfilling community service hours. However, she made an exception for the Memphis rising star’s Anyways, Life’s Great tour. Furthermore, Cardi surprised a venue full of fans at her home city in Irving Plaza.
While Glo performed alongside “ratchet ass friends” like Aleza, Gloss Up, K Carbon, and Slimeroni, there’s always room for one more. Of course, Cardi and GloRilla performed their Billboard hit, “Tomorrow 2,” and people were going crazy in the venue. Also, Offset’s boo cheekily preempted her appearance by proclaiming to “always get [her] lick, boo” as she emerged from backstage. However, that’s not the only surprise the “F.N.F.” hitmaker had in store for fans in the Big Apple. She also brought out rising star Lola Brooke, who might be the next breakout sensation this year following Glo’s footsteps. Moreover, Brooke performed her viral hit “Don’t Play With It,” building off of a lot of excitement surrounding her career.

The way ‘Tomorrow 2’ turns the people up should be studied.

Meanwhile, Glo’s tour only has three stops left on her list before it wraps up. Tonight (February 23), Boston fans will witness her live spectacle. She’ll hit Philly and Washington, D.C. on Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th, respectively. However, it hasn’t all been peaches and cream for Glo when it comes to live appearances. Recently, she faced backlash for showing up to a club for a hosting gig, while promoters wanted a performance. The Oakland crowd threw water at her as she went through the venue, and she addressed the situation shortly after.
“Ain’t no h* spit on s**t!!!!!!” she tweeted after her reception went viral. “Ask dat h* how ha face feel doe. No way you think I’m performing when you paid for a hosting, crazy tail self.” Also, Yo Gotti said that the promoters didn’t pay them enough for a proper performance, so something fishy might’ve gone down. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Cardi B and GloRilla.
Drake Inquires About Druski’s Tour On IG Live
Drake asked Druski about his upcoming tour on Instagram Live, earlier this week, revealing that the comedian didn’t have an answer. The stretch of shows is set to kick off on March 2 in Richmond, Virginia. The Coulda Woulda Shoulda Tour is scheduled to hit 30 venues in total through the end of May. Durski previously opened for Lil Baby and Chris Brown on their One of Them Ones Tour. He also served as the official host of J. Cole’s 2021 The Off-Season arena tour.
“I asked you what your tour was the other day you ain’t even have an answer you just said it’s a tough life I still don’t know what that means,” Drake wrote during one of Druski’s recent live streams on Instagram. The moment was caught in a screenshot by DJ Akademiks. It’s unclear whether Druski acknowledged the rapper.
Drake’s IG Live Comment
Drake and Druski have been friends for years. He joined Drake and Jack Harlow for the “Churchill Downs” video shoot during the Kentucky Derby. Druski also appeared in Drake’s “Laugh Now Cry Later” video.
Druski originally announced the Coulda Woulda Shoulda Tour back in December. “It’s a dream come true to headline my own comedy tour,” he said in an official statement. “I’ve been fortunate to tour alongside several of the biggest musicians in the world and get valuable experience, but now I’m ready to take the next step in my career. I’m coming off my most successful year in comedy and it’s time to show the world my growth as an entertainer.”
Speaking with Billboard after the announcement, Durski explained that he got the idea for a tour while he was on the road with J. Cole, Chris Brown, and Lil Baby. “I think the idea started to cement itself in my mind when I was hosting shows on music tours for J. Cole and Chris Brown and Lil Baby,” Druski told the outlet. “It’s like this is my time to shine and finally step into that spotlight. I could continue doing stuff on social media forever, or I could jump somewhere else and prove I’m more than just an Internet star.”

Post Malone Denied Entry At A Hotel Bar For Surprising Reason
While touring with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Post Malone found himself down under. The “Rockstar” singer was just trying to enjoy some drinks at the QT Hotel’s rooftop bar in Perth, Western Australia when he was turned away, despite his fame and success. The reason? Posty’s face tattoos. As it turns out, it doesn’t matter if you are an A-Lister with multiple award wins under your name. The QT Hotel adheres to strict dress codes that are against “face, neck, and offensive tattoos,” even if you are a top-charting artist. Posty noted that this is the first time he has been denied entry for being tatted, according to Consequence.net
With a growing list of over 75 tattoos, Post’s grungy meets eccentric style continues to stand out. On his face alone, he rocks barbed wire alongside the phrases “Stay Away” and “Always Tired.” The New York native is recognized internationally for his tattoos and continues to add to his one-of-a-kind ink collection. Lucky for Post, he was easily able to recuperate the energy of the night. Alongside his entourage, the group switched gears by kicking back with local fans at 18 Knots, another nearby bar.
Post Malone Explains What His Tats Mean
The QT Hotel eventually did issue an apology, telling the DailyMail “at QT, we aim to welcome everyone and celebrate the uniqueness of each individual.” Furthermore, they state, “our third-party security did not exercise the appropriate discretion, and we take full responsibility for this. We sincerely apologize to the individuals affected.” While the half-hearted apology hints at admiring individuality, it’s unclear as to why the organization maintains such rigid rules.
Last summer, Post released his latest album Twelve Carat Toothache, which earned him number two on the US Billboard’s 200. Prior to his Australia shows, he toured the album with Roddy Rich as the opening act. It’s unlikely that such an incident will discourage this rockstar, who already has exciting plans coming up in the next few months. As his stadium run with the Red Hot Chili Peppers ended this week, he’s headed back to the states to perform at BottleRock 2023 in Napa Valley.

Erykah Badu Gives Eccentric Studio Tour
It only makes sense why Erykah Badu has chosen to establish her personal creative space in Dallas, TX. The 51-year-old singer-songwriter has returned to her roots in her hometown, and her “Badudio” is a testament to Badu’s spiritual connection to sound. During her feature of Vogue’s “Objects of Affection,” Badu gives us a peak at her home studio. The home itself is unique and vibrant, featuring objects that undeniably inspire the “On & On” singer. Right upon walking in is a dramatic piano which Badu considers to be haunted.
Allegedly, this piano has turned on by itself, and its spooky tones have inspired some of Badu’s favorite songs. Badu is known for experimenting with sounds. Accordingly, her studio houses a number of rare instruments. One of her favorites is a dual-purpose purse that also serves as a singing bowl. When showing off this object of affection, Badu reflects on the functionality of this bag: “wherever I am, I can find some peace.” Another productive fashion choice that Badu uses from morning to night is her ankle bells. As soon as she wakes up, the bells are strapped to her legs as Badu loves music following her around.
Inside Look At Erykah Badu’s Sound Haven
While giving a tour of her house, the mom of three shows off her peaceful bedroom sanctuary. Alongside her bed is a one-of-a-kind bedroom addition: an infrared sauna. Of course, even the sauna doesn’t lack a musical touch. It’s fitted with a stolen car radio that adds an extra flare to an already soothing steam session. Beyond the bedroom is Badu’s meditation haven. This beautiful bohemian escape is filled with spiritual objects, especially those that highlight healing sound waves. Her collection of instruments includes tuning forks, spinning spears, and even an Om wand that Badu received on an Ayahuasca retreat.
Of course, a tour of Badu’s house wouldn’t be complete without a glimpse at her epic jewelry collection. With style and flare, Badu shows off her favorite pieces of metal, including her tuning fork grill and her favorite opal stone grills. Needless to say, the multi-grammy award-winning artist has fashioned her “Badudio” to fit her spiritual needs, which revolves around her love for sound.
Rihanna Possibly Touring After Super Bowl Performance: Report
Rihanna is reportedly considering going on a massive tour after her highly anticipated Super Bowl performance. The singer will be headlining the halftime show for Super Bowl LVII on Sunday. The performance will be Rihanna’s first concert since 2016 when she went on tour after the release of ANTI.
“There has been a lot of talk among people in the know, especially in the last week or two, that Rihanna is gearing up to announce a tour,” one insider told The NY Post. “It seems to be more than just hearsay at this point.” Another added: “Even some members of Rihanna’s team have been kept in the dark. It’s all a big secret, from the details of her halftime show to what’s next — if anything.”
Despite her upcoming performance, Rihanna previously stated that she had no interest in performing for the NFL. Speaking with Vogue in 2019, she cited the treatment of Colin Kaepernick and others who the league blacklisted for protesting police brutality. “I couldn’t dare do that. For what? Who gains from that?” she said at the time. “Not my people. I just couldn’t be a sellout. I couldn’t be an enabler. There’s things within that organization that I do not agree with at all, and I was not about to go and be of service to them in any way.”
If Rihanna does go on tour in 2023, she’d likely rival Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour in popularity. Tickets for the “Break My Soul” singer’s run of concerts have proven difficult for fans to get their hands on. When they went on sale to the general public in the U.K. on Tuesday, millions of fans flocked to Ticketmaster’s queue. In a press statement, Live Nation shared that fan demand for the U.S. shows exceeded available seats by over 800%. “It is still expected that the majority of interested fans will not be able to get tickets,” they said. “Demand drastically exceeds supply.” Be on the lookout for tour information from Rihanna following her Super Bowl performance on Sunday.

Rihanna’s Super Bowl Performance Will Reportedly Be Followed By Massive Comeback Tour
It’s Rihanna’s world, we’re just living in it. Since the initial announcement of her earning the coveted Super Bowl Halftime show spot last September, the Navy has been eagerly awaiting the Barbadian singer’s return to the stage.
As it turns out, that may not be the only performance she puts on this year. According to The Sun, the Bad Gal could be heading out on a North American tour later in 2023. This would allegedly be followed by a trip across the pond to entertain more audiences next year.
“She has her North American dates ready to announce for 2023 after the Super Bowl. It will be a matter of time before she announces European dates for 2024,” a source tells the outlet.
Additionally, they note that “[Rihanna’s] plan is to set up mini residencies in major cities rather than visit multiple places.”
The last time the “Needed Me” hitmaker gave us an album was in 2016. The arrival of ANTI was subsequently followed by a legendary tour. Of course, the Savage X Fenty creator hasn’t made any project announcements just yet. However, if she’s heading out on the road again, it wouldn’t be unlikely to see her drop something.
Interestingly, insiders say that Rihanna is seeking a “short and sweet” return to her singing career. This is because she has so much on her plate between her lingerie brand as well as Fenty Beauty and Skin.
Aside from all the rumours, paparazzi cameras have also caught the 34-year-old working hard in the studio lately. Most of her energy is currently going toward preparing for her quickly approaching concert. This is leading fans to believe it will surely be the performance of a lifetime.
2023 has only just begun, but it’s already shaping up to be huge for Rihanna. Fans are undeniably eager to see her return to the stage later this month. On top of that, they could also witness her taking home her first Oscar in the coming weeks.
Late last month, the mother of one earned a nomination alongside Tems and Ryan Coogler for their work on “Lift Me Up” from the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack.
Check out the full list of nods here, and let us know if you’d attend the Bad Gal’s rumoured upcoming tour in the comments.
