Lil Yachty Concert Shut Down After Five Songs Over Safety Concerns

by

Lil Yachty’s concert in Vancouver lasted just five songs before it was shut down over safety concerns. Yachty had invited as many people as possible to join the mosh pit, an invitation that the venue took issue with. A huge mass of people could be seen trying to enter that section of the venue. Security then tried to get them to leave the pit, with many fans refusing to do so. Citing safety concerns, the concert was then ended by the venue.

Yachty is yet to release a statement about the incident. The show was the first on a North American and European tour that runs for the rest of the year. The next show is scheduled for tonight in Portland. Furthermore, Yachty remains in North America until early November. Then, following a two-week break, he will continue the tour in Europe, beginning in Oslo.

Billie Eilish Co-Signs Lil Yachty’s Name Drop

However, it’s not all been bad news for Yachty as of late. Billie Eilish recently gave her stamp of approval on Yachty’s NSFW namedrop on his recent Drake feature. On “Another Late Night”, in which Drake also addressed allegations surrounding Millie Bobby Brown, Yachty shouted out the 21-year-old pop star. “I let her go, she fine as hell but baby wasn’t stylish / She had big t-ts like Billie Eilish, but she couldn’t sing (Drip),” Yachty rapped on his verse.

The lyrics then popped up in an Instagram post of Eilish’s alongside images of various activities such as biking and a shot of the singer’s new tattoo. While Eilish didn’t say anything specific, the inclusion of the lyrics appears to be a sign of approval. Of course, it’s not the first time Eilish has been name-dropped in a rap track. Armani White named a whole track after Eilish, with the line “Glock tucked, big t-shirt Billie Eilish” becoming a viral sound for thirst trap transitions on TikTok.

Elon Musk & Mark Zuckerberg Fight Remains In Limbo, “Zuck Declined,” Tesla CEO Says

by

There’s been plenty of talk about Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg coming head-to-head, but it seems very few action steps are actually being put into motion. Both tech gurus have received offers from renowned athletes to help them train, though they both have years of experience in various martial arts disciplines, to begin with. There are major physical differences between Musk and Zuckerberg that have raised concerns, such as their 7″ height difference (6’2″ and 5’7″, respectively), as well as their weight disparity (230 and 145).

Nevertheless, both have expressed determination to move forward with arranging an event (live streamed on X, of course), until the Meta head expressed frustration about his competitor’s lack of seriousness this past weekend. “I think we can all agree Elon isn’t serious and it’s time to move on,” Zuckerberg shared via Threads. “I offered a real date. Dana White offered to make this a legit competition for charity.”

Elon Musk Breaks Down the Mark Zuckerberg Situation

According to the South African, however, that might not be the case. His version of the story (as told in a tweet on Tuesday afternoon) claims that Zuckerberg specifically declined to fight at the Colosseum. Still determined to bring their vision to fruition, Musk suggested a fight at the 39-year-old’s home Octogan as a “safe space.” “Tragically, he was ahem, ‘travelling,’” the engineer snarked while sharing a DailyMail article reporting on how the fight first became a discussion.

Elon Musk makes it sound like Mark Zuckerberg is the one being difficult, or perhaps avoiding the fight. It appears that if/when the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu fighter does name a location, then his multi-talented opponent is more than up to the challenge. Interestingly, the Meta CEO shared how seriously he’s been taking his training by discussing some of the changes he’s apparently made to his diet to help him grow closer in weight to Elon. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Kid Cudi Cancels Moon Man’s Landing Festival Weeks After Its Announcement

by

Kid Cudi won’t be hosting his inaugural Moon Man’s Landing Festival this year, unfortunately. The Cleveland-born rapper announced that he would be hosting his first-ever festival in his hometown. However, he’s faced a few setbacks in his attempt to set up shop. The rapper shared a statement on Twitter where he sadly informed fans of the news. “Got some bad news Im gonna have to cancel Moon Man’s Landing this year. I know u guys wanted an outdoor festival, and so did I, but the city wouldnt approve it,” he explained.

The “Porsche Topless” rapper then said that his attempt to host the Moon Man’s Landing Festival at an arena was met with further pushback from his fanbase. So, instead of trying to rush to host an event that would’ve likely crumbled due to rushed planning, Kid Cudi said that the festival will return next year. “And instead of cancelling the whole thing I decided to have it at the arena because I still wanted to bring something cool to the city, but I know u guys werent feelin it. Dont even trip!! Heres the good news. Im bringing the fest back next year, hopefully w some of the same line up and it will be in an outdoor venue,” he added.

Kid Cudi Postpones Festival Until 2023

Although the City of Cleveland wouldn’t approve of the festival and fans were reluctant to attend a festival at an arena, Kid Cudi remains optimistic. He explained that he’ll likely have to host the Moon Man’s Landing festival an hour outside of Cleveland. “I doubt the city will approve anything in the city, but Moon Man’s Landing is not dead! And we will find a better place for u all to have an epic time at,” he said.

Besides the upcoming festival, Kid Cudi is currently working on his forthcoming album, Insano. He hasn’t provided much information regarding the tracklist or the release date. Nonetheless, he feels that the project will be “the album of the year,” as he told fans on Instagram Live in March. Most recently, he backtracked on statements made to Zane Lowe about the project being his final opus before retiring. We’ll provide you with more information regarding the project and Moon Man’s Landing Festival.

Lil Wayne Cancels Atlanta Concert Less Than 24 Hours Before, Fans React

by

Lil Wayne unfortunately disappointed his Atlanta fans on Saturday (April 22) when he announced he had to cancel that tour stop due to unforeseen circumstances. Moreover, Weezy is currently on his “Welcome To Tha Carter” tour, which received much critical and fan acclaim up until this point. No doubt the trek will continue to please fans young and old, but it’s always a sting when this occurs to a live show. While many fans expressed understandable disappointment and anger, the rap legend’s message did give some hope to the city. In his statement, he hinted towards the solution he and his team are seeking.

“Due to unforeseen circumstances we have to reschedule the Atlanta show tomorrow,” Lil Wayne posted on social media. “I apologize to my fans, but I kan’t wait to turn up with y’all soon. Luv ATL.” Furthermore, this would’ve been the Young Money boss’s 14th tour stop out of a total of 28, and the trek is scheduled to end in Los Angeles, California on May 13. Hopefully more exciting live performances in the future don’t see the same fate, although the more important hope is that Tunechi is doing well and healthy throughout these dates.

Lil Wayne Cancels Atlanta Show

Cancelling live shows can be very scary for artists, but sometimes they have to happen due to scarier circumstances. For example, Desiigner recently canceled all his upcoming concert dates to focus on his mental health, which reportedly took a nosedive. The rapper exposed himself on a plane, and the reaction grew much more sympathetic following his emotional message. With these situations in mind, fans hope that Lil Wayne is above all having a good and fulfilling time during this tour, free of health issues or other circumstances that can seriously impede his trek.

Fortunately, those who missed the Atlanta show or the tour in general have a lot of the “Let The Beat Build” MC to enjoy these days. Not only did he kickstart the campaign for Tha Carter VI with “Kant Nobody” featuring DMX, but he also appeared on Swizz Beatz’s Hip Hop 50: Vol. 2 EP. Still, a lot of fans were disappointed, and you can see the extent of their reactions down below. For the latest greatness from Lil Wayne and the rest of his tour, stick around on HNHH.

Jonathan Majors’ Met Gala Plans Cancelled, Actor And Valentino “Mutually Agreed” He Shouldn’t Attend

by

Just a few weeks ago, Jonathan Majors was undeniably one of the most envied men in Hollywood. He was constantly gracing red carpets and magazine covers while promoting projects like Creed III and Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania, all while entertaining audiences with his seemingly lovable persona. Unfortunately, things all came crashing down for the actor when he was arrested in late March. At the time, he allegedly got into a physical altercation with a woman he was romantically involved with.

The entertainer’s lawyers have been vehemently denying the claims coming out against him. They’ve even shared screenshots of messages from the rumoured victim. While Majors’ legal team obviously thought they were doing him a favour, many social media users argued that the “evidence” only makes him look more guilty, if anything. Things have been relatively quiet since then. However, it was announced on Monday (April 17) that he and his management team at Entertainment 306 have decided to part ways in wake of the allegations. Aside from that, his invitation to a major upcoming event has reportedly been revoked.

As Deadline reports, the 33-year-old was expected to attend the quickly approaching Met Gala. His look for the evening – which will be an homage to the late Karl Lagerfeld – was to be designed by Valentino. They’ve since “mutually agreed” with Majors that his attendance is no longer a good idea. The news is certainly disappointing for both the California native and his fans. Still, an optimistic update reveals that Marvel hasn’t yet had any conversations about dropping him from their cinematic universe.

The embattled star has already wrapped filming on the second season of Loki, which finds him bringing Kang the Conqueror to light. He’s also been cast in Avengers: The Kang Dynasty, but isn’t due to begin production on the project anytime soon. Are you disappointed that Jonathan Majors won’t be walking down the red carpet on the first Monday in May? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Frank Ocean’s Coachella Live Stream Seemingly Cancelled, Twitter Reacts

by

The final hours of Coachella weekend one are winding down. Patrons are certainly eager to catch the most highly anticipated headliner of the weekend, Frank Ocean. The Blond artist’s set is due to begin at 10 PM PT. Many have been counting down the hours until showtime all weekend long. Thankfully for those who couldn’t make it to this year’s event, the festival has been streaming several performances live via YouTube. While fans of Ocean have been looking forward to watching his first concert in years from the comfort of their own homes, speculation began circulating online on Sunday (April 16) evening that Coachella won’t be giving us a glimpse into the final show of the night.

It’s worth noting that Friday and Saturday’s main events, Bad Bunny and BLACKPINK, both made their sets available to audiences at home. Today, however, acts like Bjork and Ocean were notably missing from the streaming schedule, causing major concern to fly. “When is Frank Ocean gonna stop the anonymous game?” one Twitter user openly pondered upon hearing the news. “You’re not [an] underground artist. We all know what you look and smell like and know your favourite colour.”

Frank Ocean Headlines Coachella 2023

Several others chimed in with memes and videos depicting their reaction to the potential cancellation. Though undeniably dramatic, the outrage is understandable considering tonight marks Ocean’s first performance since 2017. He previously trended online last week as music lovers realized he likely wouldn’t be dropping a new album ahead of his Coachella set as many anticipated. Rather, the 35-year-old has kept quiet as of late, with his last official release coming in the form of 2020’s “Cayendo” and “Dear April.”

Prior to that, 2019 gave us singles such as “DHL” and “In My Room,” while 2018 saw the arrival of “Moon River.” He hasn’t delivered a full-length project since 2016, though we’ve got our fingers crossed that will change soon. Scroll on to read more reactions to Coachella reportedly cancelling Frank Ocean’s live stream, and check back later for more music news updates.

Rolling Loud Will Not Return To New York In 2023

by

Bad news for East Coast festival goers and mosh pit frequenters. Rolling Loud announced on Friday (March 17) that it will not be returning to New York in 2023. Moreover, the massive hip-hop festival just wrapped up its run in Los Angeles and is looking forward to another July weekend in Miami. However, those who wanted to see the celebrations reach Queens again this year are not in luck. Still, their team did say that it’s not a final goodbye to the Big Apple as a festival destination, as it seems that logistical issues became too large to ignore.

“For the last few years, we’ve made some legendary moments happen in Queens,” the statement read. “We saw the beginning of the King Vamp era, Travis power through his full set through the pain, Carti and Uzi reuniting on stage, Nicki, 50 Cent, and A$AP Rocky putting on iconic headlining performances in their hometown, Juice WRLD’s final festival performance, and many, many more moments. Sadly, due to logistical factors beyond our control, Rolling Loud will not return to New York in 2023. But don’t worry, this isn’t ‘goodbye,’ more like ‘see you later.’ We’ll be back in New York when the time is right. In the meantime, we invite all of our New York fans to meet us in Miami July 21-23 for our biggest, best festival of the year. Love you all! Rolling Loud forever!”

Rolling Loud New York Will Not Return This Year

Of course, the festival’s logistical issues in New York are well-documented and caused quite the controversy. Furthermore, the New York Police Department and the city banned various drill rappers from the area from performing at last year’s iteration. Not only did this anger the artist themselves, but it caused an uproar and major discussion in the culture. Even though festivals are hectic and potentially dangerous experiences, many wondered whether it was right to take such a stance.

Regardless, many incredible live performances at the recent Los Angeles festival should hold fans over from afar. Unfortunately for those close to Queens that looked forward to another run this year, it looks like it’ll be some time before they hit New York. However, Rolling Loud Miami is currently in pre-sale phases, so perhaps this is the year to head on down. Let us know whether you’re going in the comments and return to HNHH for the latest updates on your favorite festivals.
