Nick Cannon’s becoming almost as well-known for his bad music takes as for his many, many kids. While he occasionally has hits — take his Mount Rushmore of female rap, for instance — he’s just as quick to make a crotchety comment about the modern state of rap music that proves his non-stop daddy duties have probably left him out of touch.
His latest thoughts, courtesy of his own Amp Radio show The Daily Cannon on Monday, certainly won’t help in that regard. If anything, he’ll be facing down hordes of angry Swifties and the BeyHive like The Electric Mayhem after negatively comparing both Beyoncé and Taylor Swift to Bruno Mars. A bold choice, inciting two of the most hyperactive fan bases at the same time like this.
Debating with his cohorts about which artist he’d rather see on tour, he declared, “No offense, I would rather go to a Bruno Mars show than a Beyoncé or Taylor Swift show.” He then questioned, “Who got more hits?” insisting, “I am a Beyoncé fan. I still believe Bruno Mars actually has more hits records.” Wow, that’s a bold claim. If only there were some publication, established 100 years ago, that could numerically track the performance of artists’ singles… oh yeah, wait:
According to Billboard (via XXL), it ain’t even close. While both have the same number of No. 1 hits (eight), Beyoncé has 21 top tens and 81 total Hot 100 appearances to Bruno Mars’s 32, of which 18 have been top tens.
Bruno Mars is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
JAY-Z and Beyoncé’s new crib continues to run it up in the headlines. Doubling back on their original report, TMZ notes The Carters paid for the $200 million crib in straight cash.
The publication notes their already combined worth of $3 billion that can make the purchase an easy deal. But as Hov said, “Take what Forbes figured and figure more.”
Although JAY-Z and Beyoncé has new digs, they also plan to keep their $100 million home in Bel-Air.
According to TMZ, a source close to The Carters reveals that the Malibu crib will essentially operate as a weekend home, a getaway. The Bel-Air mansion, purchased for $88 million and enhancements raised it to $100 million, will be the main home, which is close to friends and their children’s schools.
The same source also states Hov wants to move to the Malibu estate one day. Plans at the moment don’t detail what would happen to the Bel-Air crib, once the move is final.
The new purchase, a 30,000-square-foot Paradise Cove home, was the most expensive home in the state.
The Carters’ new crib was designed by Japanese master architect Tadao Ando and previously owned by premiere art collector William Bell, who put 15 years into the home’s construction. The home is located on Billionaires’ Row, originally costs $295 million, and sits on eight acres on a bluff that looks out into the Pacific Ocean.
Beyoncé recently expressed with a not-so-subtle picture that she’s literally behind her husband Jay-Z at all times. Moreover, she just added yet another photo dump on Instagram with the two of them looking sharp and luxurious on a dinner date. Amid oysters, wine glasses, and simple black and beige fits, they showed once again why they’re one of the richest pop culture couples in both wealth and in spirit. While Hov posed with a poker face for the camera, the singer popped her head out from behind him with a smile. As she continues her incredibly hyped RENAISSANCE tour, at least she’s having fun off the stage as well.
Of course, it’s a lavish post for a lavish duo, who recently made headlines for their insane homeowner moves. Furthermore, Beyoncé and Jay-Z recently bought the most expensive home in all of Malibu- and the second-most expensive real estate property in the country, for that matter. What’s more is that they’re not even selling their $88 million Bel-Air crib to make up for it. Then again, is this really all that surprising from one of today’s most high-profile partners?
Still, they remain most well-known and praised for their cultural contributions, whether it’s their music or other areas. For Beyoncé, that recently manifested in a big way alongside occasional collaborator and fellow star Kendrick Lamar. They teamed up for a remix of the 41-year-old’s RENAISSANCE track “AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM.” While the track made a big splash and was a welcome treat from two legends, it was able to do so by balancing the social themes the title implies and a pop sensibility. If anyone would pull it off, it would be the two most renowned champions in those fields.
Meanwhile, the New York rap mogul had a similarly surprising but welcome new remix release of his own with an “Empire State Of Mind” reimagining with Gil Scott-Heron. Sure, the lyrics might be the same, but the distinct percussive and melodic additions give the opulent original a grounded groove. Overall, it’s a different take on a classic that re-contextualizes its subject matter. Their work continues to be just as relevant as their hype, and remains impactful no matter what they’re up to in their private lives.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z have again made headlines for their record-breaking purchase of an impressive new home in Malibu, California. This luxurious property, boasting breathtaking views overlooking Paradise Cove, has become the state’s most expensive residence ever acquired. Beyoncé & Jay-Z’s Historic Purchase The $200M expansive property in Malibu spans an impressive 30,000 square feet and […]
Beyoncé continues to make waves in the music industry, as she recently achieved the remarkable feat of attracting the largest audience for a female artist this century. The Belgium show of her Renaissance World Tour at King Baudouin Stadium drew thousands of devoted fans. As the tour unfolds, Queen Bey shares the love with captivating […]
It’s Beyoncé’s world, we’re just living in it. After taking a lengthy hiatus following her Lemonade album and EVERYTHING IS LOVE in tandem with Jay-Z as The Carters, the mother of three returned last summer with her RENAISSANCE album, which she’s currently touring across Europe. Things kicked off earlier in May, and so far, each audience has only managed to bring more energy and enthusiasm for Queen B than the last.
While some artists opt to share an Instagram post commerating every stop they make on tour, Bey has been notably more selective with her choices. After giving us a glimpse into her and Jay-Z’s London date night last week (likely to celebrate the historic purchase of their new California mansion), she returned on Monday (May 22) to serve major “ALIEN SUPERSTAR” vibes in various silver outfits. She didn’t provide fans with a caption, but has certainly caught the attention of plenty noteworthy celebrity friends in the comments.
“Love you, hope you having fun ,” JT of City Girls wrote to the “Halo” hitmaker. “The picture of excellence,” Any Gabrielly chimed in. Elsewhere, plenty of BeyHive members made it known that they’re looking forward to catching Beyoncé live at upcoming shows while others expressed envy over not being able to afford the expensive tickets. Of course, there were some comments about the long-awaited RENAISSANCE visuals as well, which the Houston native previously addressed during the opening night of her tour.
“A Queen moves at her own pace, bitch,” she reminded fans in attendance at the Stockholm show. Still, that didn’t stop someone from boldly asking her, “Love the pics. You look amazing as usual, but where are the visuals?! You won’t see heaven keeping them from us like this,” earlier this afternoon. Will you be attending any of the future concert dates for Beyoncé’s RENAISSANCE World Tour? Let us know in the comments, and make sure tap back in with HNHH later for more pop culture news updates.
Beyoncé and Jay-Z are some of the most renowned figures in the music industry. The couple continue to make waves year after year, and they show no signs of stopping. This year, both are taking significant strides in their careers. Beyoncé recently began her “Renaissance” World Tour in Europe. The shows have been making headlines since opening night. Fans continue to spend huge amounts of money to watch her perform. There have also been murmurs of the pop icon entering the hair industry. Meanwhile, Jay-Z has been actively engaged in persuading New York City to support his plans for a Roc Nation casino. The mogul wants to open it in Times Square, demonstrating his business acumen.
Amidst their busy schedules, the Carters have managed to secure an impressive new residence, setting a record in California. According to TMZ, their new home spans an astounding 30,000 square feet. It is located in Malibu and came with a price tag to match. The new home cost the couple $200 million. This remarkable purchase now holds the title for the most expensive property ever sold in the area. The previous record was $177 million. Although it falls short of being the most expensive real estate deal nationwide, the price they obtained is particularly notable. The initial listing price of $295 million. It appears, however, that the sale was even more impressive than originally thought.

Not only did Beyoncé and Jay-Z secure the most expensive sale of a home in California history, they also managed to do it in cash. TMZ reported that one of the biggest art collectors in the world had previously owned the home. The purchase of $200 million in cash is a substantial acquisition, but it should not be surprising.Both Beyoncé and Jay-Z have an impressive net worth and multiple ventures that bring in near-constant income. Their assets add quite a bit to their worth, as well.
Jay-Z’s net worth is estimated at around $2.5 billion. This is derived from his successful ventures in the liquor industry with Ace of Spades and D’Usse, his music catalog, and his valuable collection of fine art, including pieces by Basquiat. Beyoncé, too, has accumulated significant wealth, with Forbes estimating her net worth to be close to $500 million in 2022. Her earnings stem from lucrative tours, an extensive music catalog, and appearances in feature films. As Beyoncé’s “Renaissance” tour commences, projected to generate over $1 billion, their combined net worth is anticipated to further increase. What do you think of the couple’s new cash purchase? Let us know in the comments!
JAY-Z and Beyoncé just dropped a whopping $200 million on an oceanfront crib in Malibu. Although the couple has new digs, they also plan to keep their $100 million home in Bel-Air.
According to TMZ, a source close to The Carters reveals that the Malibu crib will essentially operate as a weekend home, a getaway. The Bel-Air mansion, purchased for $88 million and enhancements raised it to $100 million, will be the main home, which is close to friends and their children’s schools.

Natalia Bryant, the 20-year-old daughter of late NBA icon Kobe Bryant, works alongside Beyoncé as an intern. The Jasmine Brand notes that Bryant has been named an internet on the Renaissance tour.
The full name of cast members was recently released, showing the University of South Carolina student listed among the batch of contributors.
Beyoncé started her RENAISSANCE WORLD TOUR with a sold-out concert in Stockholm, Sweden’s Friends Arena. The show featured powerful dance music from her seventh studio album, RENAISSANCE, which has been widely successful.
It was an emotional return to the global stage, after a five-year hiatus, and the performance was mesmerizing for the 46,000 fans in attendance. The concert included songs like “PLASTIC OFF THE SOFA,” “COZY,” and “BREAK MY SOUL” from the new album, as well as iconic hits from Beyoncé‘s previous discography such as “Flaws And All,” “Crazy In Love,” and “Love On Top.” The concert lasted almost three hours.
Parkwood Entertainment is producing the 2023 tour, which comprises 56 dates and is being promoted by Live Nation. The tour will continue with a second night in Stockholm, followed by additional shows throughout Europe in May and June. Beyoncé will perform five sold-out shows at London’s Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before heading to North America for shows in July, August, and September.
