Natalia Bryant, daughter of Vanessa and Kobe Bryant, Becomes Intern for Beyoncé's 'Renaissance' Tour

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.

Fans Argue That Doechii Should Have Gotten “America Has A Problem” Remix

by

Doechii has had a meteoric rise to fame. After self-releasing an EP in 2019, she dropped her label debut, Oh The Places You’ll Go in November 2020. The Florida rapper’s fame rose when “Yucky Blucky Fruitcase” took off on TikTok. After another self-released EP in 2021, Doechii dropped She/Her/Black Bitch in 2022. She also released “Crazy”, which came with a provocative music video and a spot on the Madden 23 soundtrack. Furthermore, Doechii’s first charting hit came earlier this year with “What It Is (Block Boy) ft. Kodak Black”. The song peaked at #98.

Meanwhile, Beyoncé is currently in the United Kingdom for the next two stops of her Reinassance World Tour. But despite being on tour, Queen B is still finding ways to surprise fans. On May 19, she dropped a surprise remix of “America Has A Problem” featuring Kendrick Lamar. While reception has been positive, there is someone else fans would have wanted to see get the remix.

Fans Uplift Doechii Remix

@iamdoechii_

I just felt like it lol #beyonce

♬ original sound – iamdoechii

On March 4, Doechii posted a 75-second video to her TikTok account in which she performed a freestyle remix of “America Has A Problem”. In the wake of the official Kendrick Lamar offering, fans have dug up Doechii version as evidence of why she should have been given the remix honors. Before we get into Doechii’s supporters, it’s worth noting that, despite perceptions of the remix, there are some reasons why Beyoncé, who is on a global world tour, may have gone with an established and successful artist like Kendrick Lamar.

“This sounds way better than what Kendrick Lamar did on America Has A Problem. Bey definitely should have put Doechii on the remix instead,” one fan wrote on Twitter. “kendrick ass was on his last album slurring it the fuck up and had kodak ass on tracks and interludes, but y’all believe that beyoncé wouldn’t work with doechii b/c of one kodak collaboration LMFAOOOOOO,” argues another. “Doechii, Tierra Wack and Doja need to just drop the America Has a Problem remix and let the internet bully Beyonce to clear it,” suggests another. One user, who saw both sides of the problem, choose to tweet, “doechii deserved to be on that track i’m sorry. kendrick did his thing fabulously but doechii would’ve simply made the track more fire.”

Beyoncé & Jay-Z Make A Beautiful Couple In New London Photo Dump On IG

by

Jay-Z has been in the headlines a lot lately due to an ongoing alleged paternity scandal. Regardless of the rumours floating around him, the father of three seems unbothered as he accompanies his wife, Beyoncé, on her RENAISSANCE World Tour. The pair have been spotted out and about throughout Europe over the past few weeks, and on Friday (May 19), her Instagram feed lit up with a new photo dump from what appears to be their latest date night.

Bey looked as “Flawless” as ever in a black and silver dress, her bark blonde hair worn in glamorous curls perfectly framing her face. Hov kept it cool in all black with fresh white sneakers on his feet as he posed for photos with his wife in a hallway and on their way to their next destination. The post comes just hours after it was announced that Jay-Z and Queen B made California history by purchasing the most expensive home in the state for an astounding $200 million.

Beyoncé and Her Beau Hit the Town

In the comment section of Beyoncé’s IG upload, we couldn’t help but notice a “😍” reply from Ice Spice, who’s obviously a fan of the vocalist. Now that she’s got a collaboration with Nicki Minaj under her belt, there’s no telling who the New Yorker could work with next – rumour has it she’s even been in the studio with Taylor Swift following their meeting at the iHeartRadio Awards. As for the Houston native, she surprised fans in the midst of her tour by dropping a collaboration with Kendrick Lamar last night.

After previously giving us a reimagined take on RENAISSANCE‘s “CUFF IT,” she returned with an update on “AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM,” which the internet is obviously already loving, though some wish Beyoncé included TDE superstar Doechii on the track as well. Check out the new remix featuring K-Dot at the link below. For more pop culture and music news updates, tap back in with HNHH later this weekend.

[LISTEN] Beyoncé And Kendrick Lamar Drop Surprise ‘America Has A Problem’ Remix

Beyoncé just released a remix of her ‘Renaissance’ track ‘America Has a Problem’ featuring a new verse from the one and only Kendrick Lamar.
The new version opens with a breakneck verse from Lamar in which he says he is an “honorary Beyhive” member and references artificial intelligence. “Hold up, wait a minute / Even AI gotta practice cloning Kendrick,” Lamar raps during his verse. “The double entendre, the encore remnants / I bop like tin men, the opps need ten men.
”It’s not the first time Beyoncé and Lamar have collaborated on a song together. Lamar featured on Beyoncé’s ‘Lemonade’ track ‘Freedom’ in 2016. In 2019, he appeared on ‘NILE’, a track from Beyoncé’s The Lion King soundtrack album ‘The Gift’.

The single’s cover art features the American flag made up in what appear to be red, white and blue bullets. Listen to the ‘America Has a Problem’ remix below:

JAY-Z and Beyoncé Drop $200 Million to Buy Most Expensive Home Sold in California

JAY-Z and Beyoncé have set another record. And this time, neither had to step into a recording booth to do so. According to TMZ, The carters just purchased the most expensive home in California history.

The new purchase was a whopping $200 million, adding a new 30,000-square-foot Paradise Cove home to their life. It 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 eigth acres on a bluff that looks out into the Pacific Ocean.

The Carters already owned an $88 million mansion in Bel-Air, increasing the home to $100 million evaluation during their tenure.

Beyoncé Recruited ‘Beyhive’ Member Kendrick Lamar For The New Surprise Remix Of ‘America Has A Problem’

by

Beyoncé might be currently embarking across Europe on her Renaissance Tour, but that hasn’t stopped her from sprinkling in some fun new surprises for fans. As part of a surprise drop tonight, she released a remix to “America Has A Problem” with a new feature from Kendrick Lamar.

In the updated version, Lamar opens the track with a strong and powerful verse — which is typical territory for him.

“My momma told me that the money outgrew you / My horoscope said I’m really out my noodle / I’m troublin’, I’m puzzlin’, it’s sudoku / Say B, yes, America got a problem / Kicked up, choosing love, well, they chose violence,” he raps.

“I’m an honorary Beyhive,” Lamar also jokingly adds.

The duo last collaborated back in 2016, when Lamar appeared on “Freedom” from Beyoncé’s Lemonade album. They would go on to perform it together several times, including at the BET Awards and her closing Formation Tour show in New Jersey, according to Billboard.

“She’s a perfectionist,” he also told Rolling Stone about her previously. “Think about the BET performance. She was very particular – the lighting, the camera blocking, the transition from the music to the dancing. It was confirmation of something I already knew.”

Check out Beyoncé’s “America Has A Problem” remix feat. Kendrick Lamar above.

Beyoncé Taps Kendrick Lamar For “America Has A Problem” Remix

Beyoncé recently kicked off her “Renaissance” tour. There have been plenty of headlines coming from the tour thus far. Before the tour began, fans were speculating left and right about the setlist and the show in general. However, before the first night even began, people were leaking info about it. Fans were able to see the setlist early thanks to a video of the tour book being uploaded. Now that the tour is well underway, fans finally have the full, 36-song setlist. In a hilarious moment on the tour, Beyoncé did take a moment during the concert to remind fans who is in charge.

Since the release of Beyoncé’s latest album last year, fans have been begging for some sort of visuals. Generally, visuals are a huge part of any album the iconic artist releases. So, it’s no surprise that the main question on fans’ minds has been, “Where are the visuals?” Hilariously, a segment of Beyoncé’s set provided a very direct response to this question. In the intro to “Formation,” a narrator provides a voice-over as the words are displayed on huge screens. “I know you hear me. You’ve asked for the visuals,” the disembodied voice says. “You’ve called for the queen, but a queen moves at her own pace, b*tch.” However, it seems that Beyoncé has some surprises for fans, after all. Today, she dropped a surprise remix to “America Has A Problem.”

Kendrick’s Rap Is The Perfect Complement To Beyoncé’s Voice

Beyoncé fans can never really know what to expect. The iconic artist is well-known at this point for dropping things out of the blue, from videos to songs to full albums. Today’s drop is no exception, as the singer dropped a new remix of her 2022 track, “America Has A Problem.” The song now features a verse in the beginning from none other than Kendrick Lamar. The two previously worked together on Beyoncé’s Lemonade album.

Kendrick’s verse proves to be the perfect complement to the song. The rapper switches up his flow several times. He weaves syllables in and out of lines and experiments with several different tones. “I’m an honorary Beyhive / let’s see why them diamonds don’t be fly, they all CGI,” Kendrick raps. “You better get it off your chest like breast reduction / if she stressed over you, she stressed for nothin’.” What do you think of the new remix? Sound off in the comments below!

Quotable Lyrics:

Say B, yes, America got a problem
Geeked up, choosin’ love, or they chose violence
Universal, please don’t play possum
I’m a business man doin’ as follows

Beyoncé & Jay-Z Make California History By Purchasing Most Expensive Home Ever In The State

by

Jay-Z and Beyoncé have been two of the biggest figures in the music industry for decades, and they’re showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon. 2023 finds the couple markedly making some of their most mature moves to date, with the mother of three recently embarking on her RENAISSANCE World Tour and teasing a new business venture into the hair industry. Hov, on the other hand, has been busy convincing the city of New York that his Roc Nation casino plans for Times Square are the right fit for them.

Amid all this, the Carters have somehow found time to finalize the purchase of a new home – one that also makes them record-breakers in the state of California. As TMZ reports, their new spot spans a whopping 30,000 square feet in Malibu, and it cost them $200 million. This makes it the most expensive home ever sold in the area, with the prior record being $177M. It came in second place in terms of the most expensive real estate deal in the country, falling short of a $238M NYC apartment deal. Seeing as the property was initially on the market for $295M, the southern singer and east coast lyricist got an incredible deal.

Bey and Jay Make Major Money Moves

The mansion is just one of many located on “Billionaires’ Row,” which overlooks the Pacific Ocean in Paradise Cove. It was designed by Tadao Ando, the renowned Japanese architect who’s also been linked to Kanye West’s new home in Malibu. The previous owner of Bey and Jay’s abode is William Bell, best known for having one of the biggest art collections in the world. He spent nearly a decade and a half building the all-concrete structure, which is now the new owner’s second property in the area.

In 2017, they purchased an $88M Bel-Air mansion which has since undergone extensive renovations to bump its worth into the $100 millions. Are you envious of the Carter’s record-breaking new home? Let us know in the comments, and check back in later for more pop culture/hip-hop news updates.
