Natalie Nunn “Spirit Airlines” Photo Goes Viral, She Denies Being Broke & Flying Budget

November 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Natalie Nunn is best known as one of the minds behind Zeus’ Baddies series. While she provides us with plenty of drama to watch on the small screen every week this fall, we also get to keep up with her real-time shenanigans thanks to social media. To start her week, the 38-year-old went viral after a photo of her allegedly boarding a Spirit Airlines flight began circulating online. In the past, we’ve seen Nunn break down in tears over having to fly economy, so booking a ticket from a budget company didn’t exactly seem on brand for her.

Thankfully, the California native was able to laugh off the situation, addressing all the rumours in an Instagram post on Monday (November 27). “So this picture has completely gone viral of me boarding a @southwestair flight from the Bay Area to LA yesterday!” Nunn’s caption begins. “I absolutely love Southwest, SHOUT OUT SOUTHWEST AIRLINES! Flights leave every hour, so convenient, and the flight attendants are the best.” She then reminded those concerned about her travel plans that “we have real-world problems happening right now,” such as the deadly Middle Eastern conflict.

“And you guys wanna worry about what airline I’m flying lol!!!” Natalie couldn’t help but laugh. “The same person who called me broke was on the flight with me . I guess we just some broke a**es lol I LOVE THAT FOR US! Happy broke Monday everyone ,” the socialite added.

She’s not bothered about flying with other “broke” people, and in the air isn’t the only place the reality starlet is attempting to stop discrimination. On this week’s episode of Baddies East, Natalie Nunn has been fighting hard to stop the segregation between the two houses and bring cast members together in as much peace as possible. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Beyonce’s Shocking Vegas Residency Budget Unveiled

November 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that Beyonce puts on groundbreaking performances, but they certainly don’t come without a cost. According to new reports, the hitmaker is in talks with officials at the Las Vegas Sphere about the potential of her doing a residency there next year. The budget she’s requested is pretty shocking. She’s said to be asking for a $10 million budget for production.

While the number is tough to fathom, it’s on par with what U2 requested for their 36-show stint at the Nevada venue. They were the first and only act to have a residency there, and they’ll wrap things up in February. According to source, Bey’s mother Tina Knowles as well as her husband Jay-Z have already toured the facility separately, which seems to suggest that the Texas native is seriously considering it.

The deal may come down to whether or not Madison Square Garden CEO James Dolan is up for the massive budget. Reportedly, her number might be a tad high, as she’d be guaranteed portion of the arena’s ticket sales. After the success of her Renaissance tour, however, it’s safe to say that seats would be filled. A potential Vegas residency isn’t the only thing Beyonce has to look forward to, either. Earlier this week, the first trailer for her upcoming concert film RENAISSANCE: A FILM BY BEYONCÉ dropped.

The eagerly-awaited film debuts in theaters on December 1, and obviously, fans can’t wait. The trailer only managed to build anticipation for the release, depicting levels of grandiosity that one would expect from a Beyonce project. “In this world that is very male-dominated, I’ve had to be really tough. To balance motherhood and being on this stage, it just reminds me of who I really am,” she says in the dramatic voiceover. What do you think of the budget Beyonce’s set for her potential Vegas residency? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

As for the Andre 3000 collaboration, Mike recently explained that it nearly didn’t come to fruition. “He called me, he’s like, ‘Kill, I don’t know about the song, man,” Mike explained. He added that he then sent over a more finalized version with Eryn Allen Kane’s vocals. “I sent it over with Eryn’s hook and stuff. He hit back with, ‘Yeah, yeah, you got the record. Who is that?!’” Elsewhere in Mike’s interview with Spin, he discusses his upbringing, politics, race, and much more.
