Yung Miami Gives Pregnancy Tests & More Lewd Items For Birthday Trip Guests

February 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yung Miami turns 30 tomorrow (Sunday, February 11), and it looks like she’s going all out to celebrate. Moreover, a picture surfaced of “goodie bags” she prepared for her friends on her birthday trip, including pregnancy tests and some deodorant for “freshin up b***h.” This resulted in some split reactions on social media between folks who enjoyed this lewd but light-hearted fun and other who think the City Girl is pushing it. “So y’all heard of a 30 year old having a Dirty 30? The people yall be around can’t be that boring,” one user commented under coverage of this picture. Another added, “pushing 30 doing s**t like this smh.”

Of course, this isn’t the only reason that the Florida native has for celebrating these days. She recently released the “50/50 Freestyle,” on which she took aim at DJ Akademiks and barred up a little more than what we’re used to hearing from her. As such, Yung Miami seems to be building up for something big soon, or this was just a way for her to vent some feelings out in musical form. Either way, we’re here for it, because who’s downtrodden enough to deny a celebrity some fun?

In addition to all this, she’s also doing a lot to push her “Yams era” these days, which fans are theorizing could be a new album rollout or other interesting endeavors or partnerships. Not only that, but Yung Miami even took inspiration from Deion Sanders for her recent “Yams era” post doubling down on this phase. It was a bizarre place to pull from, but a nice crossover to see in this hyper-connected media age. Maybe this isn’t the end of the rapper’s references and extensions to other pop culture areas, as she and her duo partner JT get more and more prominent as solo creatives while still building their legacy as a team.

Meanwhile, the Caresha Please podcast is also adding to this extracurricular record, and looks like it’ll continue to be the case. We can’t wait to see what this “Yams era” holds, and we hope that Miami has a great time on her 30th birthday trip. After all, she made sure that everyone was safe and prepared for it. On that note, keep checking in with HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Yung Miami and the City Girls.

Pharrell Flexes On Kendrick Lamar With “Millionaire Speedy” Bag

July 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Recently, photos that show Pharrell Williams flexing his Louis Vuitton Speedy are circulating the internet. In the photos, Pharrell shows the bag to Kendrick Lamar, appearing to be in the process of explaining details. The bag, dubbed the “Millionaire Speedy,” is reportedly worth $1 million. Kendrick seems to be impressed by the expensive, bright yellow duffle. The bag is meant to “[conjure] the attitude and hustle mentality of Canal Street in an everyday icon conceived for every walk of life,” according to a LV press release.

“Every part on the bag is [gold],” Pharrell explained in June, “This is different.” He continued, “This is called the Millionaire. It comes with millionaires.” “Every bit of the bag is gold like the zipper,” he also says, “the teeth on the zipper is gold, all the hardware, every rivet. This is gold. Obviously diamonds. This chain is real. It has a real strap but you know — so be it, so be it.”

Pharrell Shows Off His Million Dollar Louis Vuitton

The striking bag is part of Pharrell’s recently-debuted Louis Vuitton Spring-Summer 2024 menswear collection. He showcased the collection, his first as the new LV men’s creative director, last month during Paris Fashion Week. Since then, Pharrell has been photographed carrying the bag, which is “cut from crocodile leather and affixed with both a chunky gold chain and diamond padlock, all handmade in one of LV’s fairly young leather ateliers,” various times. It’s that the Neptunes artist is proud of the flashy, and pricey, creation.

At the end of last month, an independent fashion designer came forward to accuse Pharrell of stealing one her designs. The designer, Kellie Ford, had previously shared a TikTok where she’s seen turning a Louis Vuitton shopping bag into a purse. The TikTok went viral in 2021, and Pharrell just recently shared his similar design at his debut as LV men’s creative director. Though it’s unconfirmed whether or not Pharrell took inspiration from Ford’s creation, it’s clear that the two bags look pretty similar.

Pharrell & Louis Vuitton Accused By Fashion Designer Of Stealing Her Idea

June 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Pharrell is having a ball as Louis Vuitton’s head designer, though it hasn’t come without some scrutiny as of late. Moreover, an independent fashion designer Kellie Ford recently claimed that the Neptunes creative and LV stole her idea for a bag as part of their new collection. In a series of TikToks, she details how she went viral in 2021 for turning a shopping bag from the brand into a stylish purse. In addition, Ford drew connections between the look of that item and the new accessory in question, also inspired by the shopping bag. Regardless of where you fall on the debate, it’s hard to deny that it’s quite the murky affair.

First of all, as many pointed out in comments of coverage of the allegations, the designer was using Louis Vuitton’s image in the first place. However, it’s unclear whether Ford actually sought to make a profit off of the bag by selling it, so copyright claims might not actually hold any ground. Dapper Dan was one of many who praised her, and he started out doing a similar practice with Gucci and eventually went on to work for them. Between differences in material, questions over creative credit, and the clear viral nature of the video, there’s a lot to discuss here when it comes to whether to not Pharrell bit the idea.

In any case, it’s also not entirely implausible to think that these two talented creatives had a similar idea separately. After all, what easier way is there to inspire yourself to make a bag than by looking at another bag, albeit a shopping one? As such (and given that Ford said she wasn’t necessarily mad about it), it will be interesting to see if this actually develops into something larger. Hopefully the designer follows a similar trajectory as others and eventually gets hit up to work at the fashion brand, because her creativity certainly merits it.

Meanwhile, the star producer is turning heads everywhere he goes during Paris Fashion Week. After a star-studded show, his first forays in Louis Vuitton are proving to be quite successful. Still, a lot of people hope that the 50-year-old will at least show some love to Kellie Ford. For more updates and the latest news on Pharrell, stick around on HNHH.
