Drake Proclaims He Has 21 Savage’s Back

July 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Drake and 21 Savage will eventually get on the road for their It’s All A Blur tour. However, they have left fans waiting. After initially delaying the tour from June 16 to June 29, the tour was unexpectedly pushed back another week. The tour, originally meant to begin in Memphis, will now begin in Chicago on July 5. No formal explanation has been given as to why the tour keeps being delayed.

Fans have been eagerly awaiting the tour since the pair released their collaborative album, Her Loss, in November 2022. The album spent one week at #1, briefly dethroning Taylor Swift’s Midnights. However, while fans may be understandably annoyed about the tour, Drake’s announcing his loyalty to Savage on Instagram.

Drake Reshares Meme For 21 Savage

After artist VelvetCoke shared a gif of a young Drake miming quick-drawing a gun on their Instagram story, Drake reshared the image on his own story. “If anyone got beef with Savage this is how I’m coming be warned,” Drake added as a caption. The image was then reshared by The Shade Room, causing VelvetCoke to post their image with the captions “so babygirl” and “i always wanted to end up on theshaderoom before i die.”

However, the interaction makes it clear that Drake has his collaborator’s best interests at heart. If you want to stop to Savage, you have to go through Drizzy first. It’s unclear if Drake’s post relates at all to the show cancellations. As mentioned, the tour is now meant to begin on July 5. It’s Drake’s first tour since “Assassination Nation” in 2019 and Savage’s first since “The Off-Season Tour” in 2021. Consisting of 56 shows running until October, the tour was meant to end in Toronto. However, the tour will now end in Columbus to make up for a cancelled stop on July 1.

Music isn’t the only way Drake is getting his writing to fans. Last week he announced the release of a new poetry book called Titles Ruin Everything.

Doja Cat Announces Tour With Ice Spice & Doechii

June 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Doja Cat just kicked off a brand new era in her career when she dropped her new song “Attention” last week. Now she’s confirmed that later this year she’s going on a massive new tour. The 24-date tour kicks off on Halloween in San Francisco at the Chase Center. From then it hits two dozen stadiums across the country before concluding at United Center in Chicago on December 13th. Coming along for the ride are special guests Ice Spice and Doechii. While none of the trio have ever crossed over in song, they certainly seem to have a lot of fan crossover between them.

She announced the tour with an Instagram post earlier today. The caption is simple enough, reading “see you on the scarlet tour.” As usual, fans flooded to the comments to express their excitement and share which dates they’ll be attending. One of the top comments reads “IM GONNA CRY DOJCHII ON THE SAME STAGE,” combining Doja Cat and Doechii’s names. Elsewhere in the comments fans speculate that Doja Cat is likely to release an album sometime before the tour. Even the name of it, The Scarlet Tour left fans speculating on what her next album may be called.

Just a few days ago Doja Cat tweeted out something that is always going to get attention online, her cat. She debuted the new pet, nicknamed “Frodo” to the world in a tweet that was viewed millions of times. Like most of the rapper’s online posts, it was deleted shortly after though it’s still possible to find the new kitty elsewhere online. In a recent Instagram live she debuted some spooky new red contact lenses that go perfectly with her new era.

While Doja Cat hasn’t confirmed what her new album will be called, at least not after cycling through the past few names, there is one word that has popped up again and again “Scarlet.” The word in combination with the blood droplet emoji have appeared in nearly all of her recent social media output. What do you think of Doja Cat’s new tour announcement? Let us know in the comment section below.

Babyface Breaks Silence On Anita Baker “Feud”

June 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

R&B singer-songwriters Babyface and Anita Baker have alleged beef. After being unceremoniously cut from Baker’s Songstress tour, Babyface went on the Jason Lee Show to clear the air. The tour, which is celebrating the 40-year anniversary of Anita Baker’s debut album, had Babyface as an opening act. However, due to multiple issues, Baker thought it necessary to cut him from the show.

According to Babyface, one of his last appearances in the show was rife with technical difficulties. From Baker’s point of view, he constantly went over his allotted time, causing her to start very late. In Newark, NJ, technical failures shortened the show, leading to the decision to give the remaining time to Anita. Fans of the male musician reportedly cyberbullied Baker, upset about his limited stage time. Combine outraged fans with an opening act going beyond his time, and it was enough for Baker to pull the plug.

How Babyface Feels About Anita Baker

Despite his fans being overtly critical of Baker, making her out to be a villain, Babyface seems unfazed about it all. “First of all, I have no problem being a support act for Anita Baker,” he says in a video clip of the Jason Lee Show. “I have that much love and respect for her art.” He also clarifies that it was always her show and that it was never a co-headliner situation. The full interview dropped on Revolt TV yesterday, so we can get more insight into what he thinks about his fans cyberbullying Baker and what he’s going to do with his newly found free time.

Babyface is an R&B icon with over 40 years of music output. He released an album in 2022, Girls Night Out, his first one in seven years. As for Anita Baker, she’s still busy after all these years. In addition to the Songstress Tour, she performed “The Star-Spangled Banner” at this year’s NFC East Championship Game for the 2022 NFL Playoffs. Rolling Stone has Baker ranked number 92 on their list of the 200 Greatest Singers of All Time.

Last month several demos and alternative versions of Drake songs leaked, including one with a Ty Dolla $ign verse. The track “Jaded” from Drake’s album Scorpion was co-written by Ty and a new leaked version of the track features a full verse that he recorded for the song. Late last year following reports that he had been hospitalized for injuries that came from skating, Ty shared a video of the incident. The scary video sees the rapper falling backwards and the back of his head making impact with the ground.

Ty Dolla $ign has long been rap’s undisputed feature king and this year is no different. He’s appeared on new albums from Tink, Daniel Caesar, and Lil Pump already just six months into the year. He’s also appeared on a number of new singles, most notably Alesso’s song “Caught A Body.” Which of Ty’s upcoming tour dates do you plan on attending? Let us know in the comment section below.

We hope you’re OK @BebeRexha.,” one user wrote on social media in the wake of the incident. Another fan wrote: “Bebe is literally one of the sweetest and most unproblematic people in the music industry she doesn’t deserve this… some of y’all really need to leave her alone omg.”

The phone incident isn’t the only issue Rexha’s had in recent months. Back in April, she complained on social media that TikTok suggests users search the phrase “bebe rexha weight” when typing in her name. “Seeing that search bar is so upsetting,” she wrote on Twitter at the time. “I’m not mad because it’s true. I did gain weight. But it just sucks. Thank you to all the people who love me no matter what.”

N.O.R.E. Links Up With Wu-Tang Clan Backstage

June 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

N.O.R.E. met up with members of Wu-Tang Clan backstage at one of the legendary group’s concerts with Nas. In doing so, the Drink Champs host called on GZA to come on his podcast so he can give him his flowers.

“Come on Godamnit,” he remarked to the group. “I need y’all both on the show. Come on. Let’s go. I gotta give you your flowers. I’m telling you, come see me.” Wu-Tang has been traveling with Nas for their NY State of Mind tour. They recently finished up the European leg of the tour and will be returning for more shows in the United States after the summer.

In addition to meeting up with Wu-Tang, N.O.R.E. also recently linked up with Nas after the group’s Paris show. N.O.R.E. didn’t need to invite the legendary Queens rapper on Drink Champs, as he’s already appeared on the show. In fact, N.O.R.E. recently described the episode as one the most “surreal” interviews he’s ever conducted.

“That’s my brother and I never really wanted to interview him at all because he’s my brother, but the fact that he did sit down… it’s very weird to ask people questions that you don’t wanna ask them,” N.O.R.E. told HipHopDX backstage at Lovers & Friends festival in Las Vegas. “I’m not the police, and they know I’m not the police. But at the end of the day, I wanna have fun and I wanna make them surreal,” he said.

N.O.R.E. previously came under fire in 2021 for referring to some of the Wu-Tang Clan affiliates, such as Shyheim, Sunz of Man, and Killarmy, as “flunkies.” He eventually labeled it a “misunderstanding” and the two sides talked it out.

LL Cool J was slated to perform at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on June 27. Another fan joked: “I took off work. I brought an outfit. I’m going to need you in the couch for the next few days until I get over this. (And you look real ready to me…ok you can come to bed, but stay on your side…just tonight) love you too.”

Not all fan responses were so negative. “Damn I had Tix to the Brooklyn show on 6/27 and it’s canceled with no make up date,” wrote one more supportive fan. “I wish it was rescheduled and my seats would be good for new date. Very disappointed but I understand if it ain’t right you don’t wanna half step, everything gotta be on point.”
