Joe Biden Should Drop Out Of 2024 Presidential Race, Bill Maher Believes

September 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Joe Biden has a lot of pressure to succeed in 2024, not just as the current president, but as opponent to Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, and other nominees from both parties. With a lot of concern for the radical politics on either side of the aisle, many hope that he will succeed with another term that aims to balance out both sides. Still, there’s a lot of frustration with the commander-in-chief’s first term, and all his compromises won’t convince many of his detractors. Of course, the other important element to consider is that many of his own political party would rather not see him try again.

One such critic is Bill Maher, popular talk show host and commentator who doesn’t think Biden will be the one to defeat the Republicans this time around. Moreover, Maher made these remarks on his show Real Time, which controversially returned amid the now-resolving WGA writer’s strike. However, the HBO alum didn’t just have criticism; he actually said that Joe Biden had a good first term and reinstated some peace and order in the executive office. Regardless, he thinks that the former Delaware senator won’t be able to beat someone like Donald Trump, which he believes is crucial to the 2024 race.

Bill Maher’s Takedown Of Joe Biden

As far as reasons why, the media personality pointed to Joe Biden’s age, physical state, and mental clarity as reasons for him to entrust the mission in someone else. Whether he’s actually capable of completing his presidential task with competence is another story; Bill Maher thinks it’s already too late. Democrats have their doubts, and that’s enough to stop a race dead in its tracks. Also, Maher didn’t stop there, as he also took aim at Mitch McConnell’s frailty and debatable state of awareness.

Meanwhile, of course Donald Trump caught his fair share of strays as well, such as hilarious tips for his cellmate. With all this in mind, the 2024 U.S. presidential election is shaping up to be a crucial, volatile, and chaotic affair. We’ll see what the future of the nation holds. With that in mind, for more big updates on Joe Biden, stay posted on HNHH.

Megan Thee Stallion’s Mental Health Campaign For Seize The Awkward Shows Her Strength

September 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Now that summer is officially over for another year, many people can expect to see a major shift in mood and energy over the coming weeks through the transition into fall. For those who suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder, depression can begin to set in, making it much more difficult to enjoy, or even complete, daily tasks. It’s not easy to deal with, and not everyone is comfortable speaking up, which is exactly why Megan Thee Stallion has teamed up with Seize the Awkward for a new mental health campaign reminding us all to check on our loved ones at this time.

“I’ve always been told I gotta be strong,” the Houston rapper shared in the voiceover of a video posted to her Instagram on Monday (September 26). “Thick-skinned, stiff upper lip, tough as nails,” Thee Stallion continued as we see close-up shots of her beautiful manicure. “But to be everything for everybody, it wears on you. ‘Black don’t crack,’ they say. But it can. I can. We all can,”

Megan Thee Stallion is Channelling the Power of Vulnerability

Speaking directly to the camera, the 28-year-old reminded her followers that “it’s okay to not be okay.” Thee Stallion urged anyone watching to “reach out to a friend if you see them going through it,” because “no matter who you are, being vulnerable is what makes us whole.” On seizetheawkward.org, users can find an educational guide on how to help others with their mental health. It’s not always an easy conversation, but it’s one worth having.

She’s understandably taking her time when it comes to more new music following her “Bongos” collaboration with Cardi B. While the Hotties wait for that, Megan Thee Stallion has also partnered with Doritos to keep their brains sharp this academic season. The “Big Ole Freak” hitmaker and the chip company have come together to launch the Flamin’ Hot University initiative, which you can read all about at the link below.

JT Wears Nothing But Headphones In New Beats By Dre x Mowalola Campaign

September 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Recently, JT of City Girls decided to broaden her horizons, teaming up with Mowalola for their new Beats By Dre campaign. The fashion brand unveiled one of her avant-garde headshots earlier this week, which shows her rocking some rainbow-inspired hair and wearing the headphones over one eye. Some supporters were taken aback by the shot, and didn’t shy away from letting JT know.

Regardless, the Florida-born performer stands by the project, and took to Instagram Live to fire back. “This is not for the trolls, this is not for the h*es, this is not for the people trying to defend it,” she explained. “It’s for everybody. It’s for my dark skin girls with the nose… This Miss Mug Shot is now the face of a brand, b**ch.” JT further boasted her experience being a part of the Hugo Comte-shot project, noting that haters will never get it.

Now, JT has taken to her own page to share some more images from the bold campaign. From the looks of things, the edgy collab has gone a far more NSFW route than fans originally thought. The City Girl is pictured nude alongside various other models, with some futuristic engravings across her chest. The group wears nothing but the iconic headphones, and all rock similarly choppy hairdos. As expected, fans have flocked to JT’s comments section, praising her for stepping out of her comfort zone.

Though most fans can agree that the photoshoot was creative and interesting, haters continue to have their opinions. With that being said, it seems JT is proud of her work, and won’t be letting them get her down. What do you think of JT’s new Beats By Dre x Mowalola campaign?

SZA & Quincy Jones Lead Tommy Hilfiger’s 2023 Fall Campaign With Style & Grace

September 14, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Tommy Hilfiger’s 2023 Fall Campaign has a few famous stars as its faces, namely Stray Kids, the legendary Quincy Jones, and SZA. Moreover, they recently unveiled some new items in their collection, and this second installment of the season has a particular focus. If you didn’t already grasp it by the list of collaborators involved, it’s all about how these two worlds come together. The fashion brand often works with musicians to tell a larger story for both, and has resulted in some iconic and meaningful team-ups. It’s this history, respect, and acclaim that the TDE singer referred to in a press release of the photo campaign.

“I’m so inspired by the creative icons that have come before me and the foundation that they’ve laid,” SZA stated. While this is far from the St. Louis native’s first fashion crossover, it’s certainly one of her biggest, especially within the context of this particular campaign. “I’m excited and honored to build my legacy as a creative alongside a brand as established and influential as Tommy Hilfiger. It’s been a great experience with the brand and so special to share with my close family and friends.”

On the other hand, this might surprise you, but the iconic music producer actually goes way back with Tommy Hilfiger. Kidada, Quincy Jones’ daughter, was part of the Tommy Jeans launch in the 1990s and she styled Aaliyah’s famous bandeau top fit for Hilfiger in Vibe magazine (which he founded) back in 1997. Referring back to this campaign, it’s clear that this family focus is still a big component. 21 of Jones’ family members appear in the promotions, whereas SZA’s family and friends also contributed to them.

“I believe in the power of music to shape and guide us, and that creativity is a vital part of who we are as human beings,” the 90-year-old stated. “It’s a philosophy I share with my family and one I hope to pass on to the next generation. Tommy [Hilfiger] and I first met in the ‘90s during a revolutionary time in music. We came from different worlds, but we immediately connected as two optimistic, and hardworking dreamers with a shared vision to combine music and fashion in a way that had not been done before.” For more news and the latest updates on SZA and Quincy Jones, keep checking in with HNHH.

September 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kid Cudi recently hopped on Instagram, announcing a new collaboration he has on the way with Star Trek. The “Boldly Be” collab is set to include a song, apparel, and a gaming component. It drops in October of this year, and “reflects the optimistic and inclusive spirit of adventure, discovery, imagination, and most importantly, hope, at the heart of the cultural phenomenon.”

“I grew up watching Star Trek with my dad who is single-handedly responsible for turning me into a fan,” Kid Cudi says of the upcoming collab. “The most important thing to me is to be as authentic as possible. Star Trek’s mission has always been about having a hopeful future and when I was first approached about this project it was the perfect marriage of all the things I believe in – being brave and a hero by doing what’s right and fighting for freedom. I can’t wait to share my love of this incredible franchise with the world.”

On the topic of collaborations, Kid Cudi also recently revealed who his favorite artist is to collaborate with. He shared his thoughts on Twitter, claiming that his go-to collaborator is Travis Scott. “Travis is intimidating too,” he wrote. “But we have such chemistry and we create in harmony. It’s easy really. My favorite person to collab with. When we did ‘The Scotts,’ man, it was a magical moment. We knew that sh*t was outta here.”

Kid Cudi recently shared the news that the release of his upcoming album, INSANO, is pushed back until January. Though the delay came as a disappointment to fans eagerly awaiting the release, he dropped off a couple new tracks earlier this week in the meantime.

Kid Cudi Poses In New Calvin Klein Campaign

August 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kid Cudi is a busy man these days. As many of you are already aware, he is gearing up to release a brand-new album called INSANO. This project is going to come out on September 15th. Overall, there is a lot of hype for the project given who might be featured. Names like Travis Scott and Playboi Carti are floating around, which is absolutely huge. Not to mention, there are rumblings that a collaborative project with Travis could still happen. Needless to say, Cudi is giving fans a reason to be hyped up.

Additionally, Kid Cudi is now part of the latest Fall 2023 campaign for Calvin Klein. Alexa Demie of Euphoria is also part of the campaign, which gives this quite a bit of star power as something that “redefines sensuality through scenes of pleasure and play.” The pictures and poses that accompany the new campaign certainly play into that narrative. Below, you can see Cudi shirtless while wearing some of Calvin Klein’s iconic pieces. Ultimately, it is a cool campaign for Cudi to be part of.

When it comes to INSANO, it should be interesting to see what kind of direction the artist goes in. Throughout his career, Kid Cudi has ventured into various different sounds. He could do the rock thing, or he may even dive into the world of rage beats. At this point, the musical direction is a mystery and we are intrigued. However, with the inclusion of Carti and Scott, it is safe to see that this is an album that will resonate with the youth. Hopefully, it is able to deliver on all fronts.

No Malice Teases Clipse Collab With Moncler & Billionaire Boys Club

August 13, 2023 by newhiphopnews

No Malice posted a photo of himself and his brother Pusha T on Instagram, Saturday. In the picture, the two are posing for a collaborative campaign from Moncler and Billionaire Boys Club. “Diamond and Dollar #MonclerBillionaireBoysClub,” No Malice captioned the post. The new apparel, including a puffer jacket, letterman jacket, and more, will be released on August 15, 2023. The photo has fans excited for new music from the duo.

“Don’t tease me like this. I thought this was the album cover,” one user commented. Another expressed their intrigue as to how the new project will sound: “I’m deeply curious how a reunion album is going to work and sound plus how No Malice will justify it in his press tour runs. Like why the return from gospel rap when he was adamant about sticking to it for years.”

The comments come after Pusha and No Malice debuted a new collaboration at Pharrell’s first fashion show as creative director of Louis Vuitton, earlier this year. Pusha recently discussed the possibility of releasing another album as a part of Clipse during an interview with PEOPLE. “I really would hope so,” Push told the outlet. “I really would love to, man, I really would love to. At this point I feel like we’ve been in a space a lot together lately, and in those spaces the creativity’s just been flowing.”

“So that’s where you get songs like you heard at the [Louis Vuitton] fashion show. Really what we’ve been doing a lot of it is just contributing with our friends,” Pusha added during the interview. “Like, ‘OK, Pharrell’s a creative director of LV, he needs music for the show.’ How would we not show up for that? How would me and my brother not show up for a Nigo album? I think the creativity between us and just the collective of the family that everybody knows where this started from, is something that you can’t just stop.”

Kanye West’s 2024 Campaign Reportedly Received Zero Donations In Recent Weeks

July 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It’s been a turbulent back and forth battle concerning whether Kanye West’s presidential campaign for 2024 is even happening. However, the most recent report to come out concerning it certainly doesn’t suggest any good news. Moreover, Radar Online reportedly obtained copies of the Federal Electoral Commission’s (FEC) filings on the campaign on Monday (July 17). These documents suggest that not a single person has donated a single penny to it within the past few weeks. As such, hope for the run vanished, yet people wondered how much Ye even cared about in it in the first place.

Furthermore, on April 1 of this year, apparently the campaign had around $125,000 to spare concerning expenses. After paying consultants and additional employees around $101,000 in total, Kanye West’s efforts didn’t have much money to spare by June 30. While the run doesn’t have any outstanding debts indicated by these reports, this means that the campaign apparently had just about $23,000 upon June’s end. In addition, the Chicago artist claimed he blew over $2 million in bills, but only garnered close to $455,000 in donations since his 2024 strategy’s inception.

(Photo by Edward Berthelot/GC Images/Getty Images)

Back in April, he allegedly told a documentary filmmaker he hired to document the campaign that he wanted to scrap it. “Right now, I am living my life- like I’m concentrating on the school, the Donda Academy, and my new wife, and my kids, and that’s it,” Kanye West apparently told Adam Camacho. “I just want to be left alone.” What’s more is that this turbulent campaign garnered assistance from controversial right-wing figures that hopped on-board, jumped off, and kept teetering on that edge. One of these is Milo Yiannopoulos, who received a $31,000 payment for being Ye’s “Director of Political Operations.”

Meanwhile, rumors of a new album from the Yeezy mogul sprouted online. As such, many fans hope that Ye can rectify his past mistakes and bring new great art to the table. Still, with all these extracurricular controversies, it’s hard to say whether this will even be worth it. For more news and the latest updates on Kanye West, stick around on HNHH.

Donald Trump Promises “Food For Everyone!” Before Leaving Restaurant Without Actually Paying

June 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Donald Trump promised to pay for “food for everyone!” at Miami’s Cuban restaurant, Versailles, earlier this week but left without actually paying for anyone to have a meal. The Miami New Times reports that, despite the offer, Trump only stayed for just minutes, giving no patrons enough time to place any orders that he could go through with covering.

“It turns out no one got anything. Not even a cafecito to-go,” the outlet noted from a source who remarked that the former President stayed for too short of a time to place an order. When reached out for comment by Newsweek, a Versailles said, “Sorry, I don’t know about that,” and promptly hung up. Jorge Masvidal was also present at the restaurant.

Donald Trump Addresses Supporters In New Jersey

BEDMINSTER, NEW JERSEY – JUNE 13: Former U.S. President Donald Trump speaks at the Trump National Golf Club on June 13, 2023 in Bedminster, New Jersey. Earlier in the day, Trump pled not guilty in federal court in Miami on 37 felony charges, including illegally retaining defense secrets and obstructing the government’s efforts to reclaim the classified documents. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)

When asked for comment, a Trump spokesperson told PEOPLE: “President Trump was very enthused and very appreciative to the family at Versailles Restaurant for welcoming him this week. At the end of President Trump’s visit he offered to buy food for the group of attendees inside the restaurant, but when President Trump left, the attendees followed him outside and did not place orders themselves. Campaign advance team members paid for the to-go meals purchased, and there were no unpaid tabs. President Trump looks forward to returning soon!”

Trump’s appearance at Versailles comes after he pleaded not guilty to 37 criminal offenses following his indictment by a federal grand jury, last week. Among the worst charges are counts of retaining classified information, obstructing justice, and making false statements, among others. Some of the offenses carry prison sentences of up to 20 years.
