Shy Glizzy announced his upcoming album Flowers recently and spoke about Beyoncé shouting him out on tour. While readers are likely focused on Beyoncé’s recent $24 million Dubai show, don’t forget that she’s been killing stages for years. Furthermore, the pop star and media mogul performed Glizzy’s song “Awesome” during her tour.

Moreover, the D.C. native stopped by DJ Akademiks’s podcast Off The Record to share these thoughts. Still, it’s not like he’s been completely silent prior to this announcement. In fact, his last music release was just a month ago with the 21 Savage-assisted “Slime-U-Out.” During his conversation with Ak, the media host asked him about future projects.
“You have an album coming up soon, right?” the podcaster asked He then asked “Title?”, to which Shy responded with “Flowers.”
“Flowers, why Flowers?” Ak said.
“I’ve been in this s**t for a minute now, man,” the 30-year-old stated. “I feel like the growth is there, this s**t’s finally gotten to a point where the knives are sharpening, and all the respect is due. That’s why I named this s**t Flowers, I feel like I need mines, I feel like I give a lot of people theirs. That just goes back to the conversation about the post that I put up and all of that… S**t, I give n***as they flowers. Any n***a that’s before me, any n***a that, you know, do this s**t, I don’t got no problem. You don’t gotta come from the streets, none of that s**t. I’ll just salute you, if you think I’m a cool n***a anyway, if you think that I make good music.”
“What was you first reaction when you seen Beyoncé dancing your song? Did she, like, call you, like, how does that happen?” Akademiks asked.
“Nah, she didn’t even call me, she just did that s**t. I don’t even know how it happened. That s**t just was going viral, and I’m like ‘What the f**k?’ ‘Cause I don’t watch s**t like that. I seen that s**t on the Internet, I was like ‘Damn, that’s crazy.’ Then they brung me out on her tour when she came to the city. So that was even bigger. N***a seen Jay, all of them, Beyoncé. That s**t was big, man, that was definitely a big moment. That was a highlight of my career, one of them.”
Still, what do you think of Shy Glizzy’s thoughts on Beyoncé’s shoutout and are you looking forward to his next album Flowers? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, come back to HNHH for more humbling insights and experiences in the music industry.
It was a lit weekend in Dubai. Celebrities emerged to the luxurious United Arab Emirates city for the grand opening of Atlantis The Royal by the time Beyoncé took the stage. It marked the Houston singer’s first show in four years, so naturally, fans across the world were excited to hear what she was bringing to the stage.

Though there was a no-filming policy, it seems like many patrons managed to break the rule. Footage emerged shortly after Beyoncé took the stage in Dubai, alongside her daughter, Blue Ivy, and delivered a top-tier performance of hit records.
Beyoncé’s set list officially emerged online following the jaw-dropping performance. However, the set didn’t necessarily include some of her biggest records or her most recent ones. The set consisted of 17 songs in total but there was an absence of records like “Single Ladies” as well as anything off of Renaissance. Beyoncé went down memory lane with songs like “Naughty Girl,” “Ave Maria,” “Beautiful Liar,” and more.
Though fans in Dubai didn’t get to catch Beyoncé’s debut of anything off of Renaissance, it appears that Bey’s inching towards a summer tour. Last year, she confirmed that she’ll be hitting the road in support of Renaissance. However, she hasn’t announced any concrete dates as of yet.
We’ll keep you posted on any more details surrounding Bey’s upcoming tour. Check out the full setlist below.
Blue Ivy has the Internet’s heart after clips of Beyoncé seemingly stopping her from dancing at her Dubai show went viral. While the star’s $24 million show was one night only, the sheer spectacle and grandiosity of the event will last for a long time. Despite the show’s no-phone policy, some clips from the performance featuring Queen Bey’s daughter made the social media rounds.

Furthermore, the clip’s gotten some mixed reactions online, though it’s almost completely positive. After all, it’s just a cute moment between mother and daughter. As Beyoncé performed her track “BROWN SKIN GIRL,” Blue Ivy hit some potentially improvised choreography.
Moreover, people in the comments and Twitter replies had a couple of differing, yet all hilarious takes. “Of the $24 million Dubai paid for Beyoncé to perform, $23 million went to her manager Blue Ivy,” one tweeter joked. Another wrote, “They didn’t write the check for a Blue Ivy performance. Bey stopped that QUICK.” Still, one of the funniest sentiments online was that Blue is the real star, which is fair enough. “Blue Ivy’s charity never ends. How kind of her to grace a fan with her vocal talents,” a fan commented.

Also, the stylist for the extravagant performance recently wrote some thoughts on the surreal experience. KJ Moody is based in Parkwood, California, hails from Texas, and has styled the R&B icon a few times now.
“Wow! This was my first Live performance!! Styled by Me!” Moody wrote. “I have watched this woman tear down the house since I was 5 years old. Going to destiny’s child concerts, screaming and dreaming of one day being apart of a moment like this. We DID IT TEAM! #StyledByKj #Beyonce #Dubai.”
However, it’s crazy to think that so much could’ve gone wrong with this performance after attendees shared new details. Apparently, Beyoncé put this whole spectacle together right after recovering from foot surgery.
Still, what did you think of Blue Ivy’s wholesome but interrupted dancing performance at Beyoncé’s Dubai show? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest extravagance from your favorite artists’ live performances.
Over the weekend, Beyoncé’s concert in Dubai was the talk of social media — even among those who weren’t in attendance. Although fans weren’t supposed to record, naturally, the Hive kept fans informed, posting videos, reactions, and even the setlist from the coveted concert, which reportedly made the Renaissance singer $24 million.
Highlights of the show included Beyoncé bringing her daughter Blue Ivy on stage to perform “Brown Skin Girl” and performing with a Lebanese precision dance group for a remixed version of Naughty Girl that included Panjabi MC’s “Mundian To Bach Ke” instrumental and verse (a sly reference to her husband Jay-Z, who appeared on the remix, “Beware Of The Boys,” in 2002).

By all accounts, it was an unusual show for Beyoncé, who is usually known for her elaborate choreography. It was reported by an attendee that the normally exuberant singer was recovering from foot surgery, which could explain the lower-key, stand-and-deliver performance in contrast to her usual kinetic shows. You can see the full setlist from the private show, which spanned much of her solo career, below.
Nia Long’s recent heartbreak isn’t stopping her from living her best life. In the latter half of 2022, the 52-year-old uncovered the truth about her ex-fiancé, Ime Udoka’s infidelities in their relationship. Much to the pleasure of several famous figures, she left the basketball coach behind in wake of all the drama.
Since then, a number of suitors have tried shooting their shot. Back in October, Cam’ron made it known that he was throwing his hat in the ring with a flirtatious DM. It subsequently appeared on his own feed after failing to attract a response.

“Hey stink,” the Dipset rapper wrote at the time. “I was giving you some time to yourself till I reached out. Your perseverance as a strong Black woman through this turbulent time has been something to behold. You shouldn’t be taken advantage of and exploited as you did nothing to deserve this. Especially all over these sports networks. You’re bigger and better [than] that.”
While nothing seems to have transpired from the New Yorker’s attempt at finding love, Long has since been spotted with several different men. Firstly, she and Omarionmade headlines at the premiere of her latest film. The B2K alum shared a video of him and the black-haired beauty on the red carpet. In it, she grabs his hand, leaving him obviously blushing and smiling.
Despite the internet’s immediate speculation, she was quick to clarify that she’s “single AF” for the time being.
Long’s next big stop came after a flight to Dubai to watch Beyoncé’s extravagant return to the stage. The event was undeniably star-studded, with Chloe and Halle Bailey, DDG, and Kendall Jenner all making the trip to see the show.
Another famous face in attendance was 106 & Park‘s Terrence J, who was seen having a laugh with the often-rapped-about starlet over the weekend. In a circulating video, she giggles away while the actor helps her out of a luxury car.
Of course, the clips have caused some to tweet about Long’s ex, joking that he has to watch her virally get her lick back without being able to do anything about it.

Aside from her recent romance rumours, Nia Long has also been in the headlines lately for her work in Netflix’s You People. She stars in the film alongside Eddie Murphy, Jonah Hill, and Lauren London. Within the plot, the latter two try to navigate a relationship despite their family’s distinct cultural differences.
Check out the trailer for that movie here, and let us know who you’d like to see the Friday actress link up with next in the comments.
Beyonce is officially back and based on the reviews of her performance over the weekend in Dubai, is better than ever, performing an hour-long set of some of her greatest hits at the grand opening of the newest Atlantis resort, The Palm, in Dubai.
The superstar songstress performed a variety of her hits including classics such as “Crazy in Love,” “Beautiful Liar” and “Naughty Girl,” as well as newer songs including “Freedom,” “Be Alive,” and “Spirit.” She also reportedly performed a cover of Etta James’s “At Last.”
At one point in the performance, her daughter Blue Ivy (who is now 11 years old!) joined her to perform a duet of their song “Brown Skin Girl,” from Beyoncé’s2019 The Lion King companion album. Blue Ivy donned a sparkling red gown while her mom rocked a glamorous yellow one for the song. Beyonce also rotated through a series of glamorous looks for the event.
Security for the event was incredibly strict with the approximately 1,000 invited attendees being required to lock up their phones before the show. All live streams from the venue were also cut off shortly before she began performing.
However, many celebrities still made red-carpet appearances including Kendall Jenner, Rebel Wilson, Ellen Pompeo, Chloe Bailey, Amir Khan, Letitia Wright, and more. Jay-Z was also in attendance in his own exclusive box seat. The event culminated with a fireworks display and after-party headlined by Swedish House Mafia.
Although she has been incredibly busy the last four years, Beyonce had not performed a full concert since 2018 when she and husband JAY-Z appeared at the Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100 event.
The newest Atlantis resort covers more than 63 hectares and boasts over 795 rooms and suites, no fewer than 90 swimming pools, and at least 17 restaurants, many run by world-famous chefs.
After Beyoncé‘s dazzling private performance at The Royal Atlantis hotel in Dubai on Saturday night — her first time headlining a show in almost four years — there have been talks that she might be gearing up for a performance at the 2023 Grammys.
Beyoncé is in talks with the #Grammys for “a possible onstage appearance,” @Variety reports.
Variety reports, show producers have shared with them that the Grammy record holder might have a possible onstage appearance. Unfortunately, the “Break My Soul” singer didn’t perform any hits from the recent project for the attendees at the private show. So, fans are hoping this is why Queen Bey has been holding onto the visuals for her Reinassance album, which was released last July.
Guests for the private affair included other celebrities, several journalists, and influencers. While there was a strict “no phone or video” policy in place — guests were given pouches for their devices — to no surprise, leaked footage began circulating on the internet. In one of the clips, Bey shared an adorable moment on stage with her eldest daughter Blue Ivy performing a rendition of “Brown Skin Girls.”
It was also revealed that Beyoncé was paid a whopping $24 million for her private gig.
Throughout the private concert, Beyoncé performed some of her biggest hits, including “Halo,” “Naughty Girl,” “Drunk In Love,” and more.
There have also been reports that Bey was recovering from foot surgery, which may be the cause behind her not releasing the visuals of her recent album.
Just a few days ago, Beyoncé made her long-awaited return to the stage. Unfortunately for die-hard fans, the performance took place in Dubai. Several security measures were chiefly put in place to prevent any footage from getting out. However, some attendees still found a way to leak their clips, and the response has been nothing short of amazing.
During her first concert in nearly half a decade, Queen B helped celebrate the opening of the luxurious city’s Atlantis The Royal hotel. While walking the carpet beforehand, she donned a beautiful golden gown. When she later arrived on stage, the mother of three went through various glamorous costume changes.

She performed hits like “XO,” “Crazy In Love,” and “Naughty Girl.” Additionally, there were covers of “At Last” and “Ave Maria,” as well as the live debut of several titles. Among them were “BROWN SKIN GIRL,” which included a surprise appearance from Blue Ivy Carter, as well as “BIGGER.”
Aside from wealthy UAE locals, Beyoncé’s show also attracted a diverse crowd of celebrity friends. Both Chloe and Halle Bailey showed up in support of their long-time mentor. The latter’s beau, rapper DDG, also tagged along. He was looking as dapper as ever in an all-black suit and shoes from Balenciaga.

Elsewhere on the blue carpet, Rebel Wilson was seen in a bright green dress alongside her girlfriend Ramona Agruma. Grey’s Anatomy starlet Ellen Pompeo was also in attendance alongside her husband.
When the actress was asked about her plans for her weekend in Dubai she smartly replied, “My plans are Beyoncé. Then recovering from Beyoncé. Beyoncé is a full weekend event – it’s not just the performance, it’s a week of digesting what she did.”
The hotel’s grand opening and subsequent celebration saw Black Panther‘s Letitia Wright taking in the show too. For her part, she donned a vibrant pink dress and carried a small Prada purse in her hands.
