Latto Says Thank You To Cardi B With 10k Chanel Bag

June 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Latto thanked one of her recent collaborators with an attention-grabbing new gift. Earlier this month Latto released “Put It On Da Floor Again” a remix of her song “Put It On Da Floor” featuring Cardi B. The song found success immediately flying up the charts for a #13 debut on the Hot 100. Now two weeks later the song has over 9 million streams on Spotify and is still in the Top 40 of the Hot 100.

Seemingly as a thank you for her feature on the song and its resulting success, Latto got Cardi an eye-catching present. In a tweet made yesterday, Cardi showed off the gift. It was a$10k turquoise Chanel bag that has already sold out. “This purse tho….. Thanks @Latto” the caption of her tweet reads. As you would expect fans rushed to the comments to express jealously. Many fans also took to the comments to do exactly what fans always do, ask for new music. A new single that Cardi reportedly teased was coming out today never materialized, and her fans didn’t let her forget it.

Latto’s Expensive Present For Cardi

Over the past weekend, Latto showed up at the BET Awards to play the song live. She followed it up the next day with a pretty stunning photo dump posted to her Instagram. The big story following Latto in recent months has been her connection to a mystery man. She’s repeatedly teased fans that she has a celebrity bf, but won’t tell who it is. Despite her silence fans certainly have some strong guesses based on evidence they dug up.

Many have linked Latto to rapper and collaborator 21 Savage. The rapper appeared on her album 777 last year. Fans also took note when the pair both posted Instagram stories from the same vacation destination a few months ago. Neither have officially confirmed anything but plenty of fans are convinced that they’re an item. What do you think of Latto’s pricey gift for Cardi B? Let us know in the comment section below.

Yung Miami’s Met Gala After-Party Dress Made Out Of 55 Handbags, Inspired By Chanel

May 5, 2023 by newhiphopnews

This year marked the Met Gala debut of many celebrities, though none of them did it quite like Yung Miami. Not only did the mother of two shock fans by arriving to the event with Diddy as her date, but she also donned one of our personal favourite looks on the red carpet for the night. The City Girl’s stylist, Marni, came through with the perfect vibes not only for the main event but for the after-parties as well.

In an interview with Complex, designer Duran Lantink spoke about the work that went into making Miami’s second look of the night. According to him, the rap diva’s team got in contact with him just two weeks before the Met. At the time, they requested various concepts paying homage to the late Karl Lagerfeld. Thankfully, Lantink has previously worked for the likes of Beyoncé and was more than up to the task at hand. “Once Karl Lagerfeld presented the double F Fendi logo on top of a hat. So I started thinking about playing around with the double C Chanel logo,” he explained, referring to the headpiece worn by Caresha below, which instead reads CG, for City Girls.

Yung Miami’s Chanel-Inspired Post-Met Gala Outfit

The dress itself was put together using 55 handbags, which were purchased across eight different cities in Holland. “Chanel is known for the leather fabric going through the handbag chains and I thought of the idea of creating braids that sort of go through the chains and then hit the ground,” Lantink told the outlet of his initial vision. Of meeting the Caresha Please host during their fitting, he added, “She was so sweet. And she seemed to enjoy it. I know Marni really wanted that dress to be the red carpet look.”

Kendrick Lamar’s Spooky Met Gala Photos Creeps Out Fans

May 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kendrick Lamar hardly pops out but when he does, it’s a statement. During this year’s Met Gala, the California legend emerged with swagger as Chanel’s “ambassadors and friends of the house.” The rapper came through decked out in the high-end brand, which apparently includes a diamond-encrusted CC cap that he flaunted in newly surfaced photos from the uber-exclusive Met Gala. Joined by Naomi Campbell, Margaret Qualley, and Jennie Kim, the rapper appeared in Chanel’s celebratory flicks on their Instagram page.

However, Kendrick’s appearance in the photos seemed to be jarring for some. In one of the photos, only half of his face appears as he cracks an eerie grin that showcases the Chanel-branded diamond-encrusted cap on his front tooth. However, the second photo shows Kendrick posing alongside Campbell and Qualley with his entire outfit on display. “Ambassadors and friends of the House got together to celebrate the opening of The Costume Institute’s exhibition, Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. On this occasion, they posed for a group portrait lensed by Inez & Vinoodh,” the caption reads.

K. Dot was undoubtedly dressed to impress at the Met Gala this year. The Compton native came through with a fresh black jacket and trousers that he held up with a red Chanel bandana. Despite his usual reclusive nature, he also linked up with several other artists including Stormzy and Jack Harlow. Although people like Doja Cat and Jared Leto came through with jaw-dropping outfits, Kendrick Lamar chose a simpler route and it evidently worked out for him in the end.

Besides the Met Gala appearance, Kendrick recently made history with the Mr. Morale tour, which officially became the highest-grossing hip-hop tour in history. Surpassing Drake, Jay-Z, and Kanye, the tour brought in $110.9M with 929,000 tickets sold across 73 shows. Needless to say, it was a concert for the books and anyone who attended will certainly confirm this to be true. Check out Kendrick’s photos from the Met Gala below and share your thoughts on his outfit in the comment section below.

Rihanna Serves Serious Mother Goose Vibes Wearing Vintage Chanel In New York Ahead Of The Met Gala

April 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The final weekend of April is upon us which means that tomorrow (May 1), marks not only the start of a new month but also the annual Met Gala. This year’s event is honouring the late Karl Lagerfeld, who spent decades at the helm of brands like Chanel, Fendi, and Tommy Hilfiger, as well as his own label. For months now there’s been speculation about which celebrities will be included on the prestigious guest list. It was previously reported that the Kardashian-Jenners wouldn’t be in attendance after almost the entire family walked the carpet last year, however, Kim has since hinted that she’ll be in New York. Others who may show up include Beyoncé, Cardi B, Nicki Minaj, and Rihanna.

The Barbadian-born songstress all but confirmed that she’ll be at the Met Gala on Saturday (April 29) night. Paparazzi cameras caught her back in the Big Apple after her long trip to Paris with A$AP Rocky and their son. She stepped out sans her family to grab dinner in New York with friends, wearing a vintage Chanel outfit designed by Lagerfeld for the French fashion house’s F/W 1994 collection. Rihanna’s fur-clad white mini dress is serving serious mother goose vibes. Ever the expert accessorizer, she topped things off with a matching black and white hat, sparkly heels, and double C sunglasses to make it clear who was responsible for designing her look.

The Chanel style has been earning Rihanna plenty of praise all across social media so far. However, as TMZ notes, PETA may take issue with it if the fur is real. Just a few weeks ago, the activist organization sent a letter to the 35-year-old regarding a coat she wore which was made from animals. At the time, they asked her to consider exchanging her garment for a faux one, giving the authentic one instead to those suffering in war-torn countries after losing their own clothing. It remains unclear how, or if, Rih responded, though she’s never been one to shy away from pushing fashion boundaries.

Should the ANTI hitmaker appear tomorrow, it will surely be just another success in her long-running streak of stunning the world with her maternity style. Are you excited to potentially see Rihanna at tomorrow’s Met Gala? Let us know in the comments, and tap back in later for more pop culture and hip-hop news updates.

Latto Claps Back At LAX Glock Arrest Haters, Shows Out In Chanel At The Atlanta Hawks Game

March 19, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It seems as though Latto can’t catch a break online recently, and this past weekend was no exception. She’s been her usual chipper self in the social media space. Still, Twitter followers were rubbed the wrong way after seeing her recall a previous arrest at LAX airport. The incident took place after she arrived with a loaded Glock stashed in her Birkin. “Got locked and let out in a few hours lmaooo,” the rap diva recalled.

“Booked a $75K jet to my show in Alabama and still made it on time! No cap in my rap TUH,” Latto wrote on Friday (March 17). At the time, many threw shade her way. They quickly pointed out that she shouldn’t have been surprised to face such consequences for bringing a weapon to an airport. “It’s her saying ‘TUH’ as if this proves she really a gangsta,” one user clowned the 777 hitmaker. “Whole time this Donna Karan is licensed to carry.”

Latto Claps Back at the Haters

On Saturday (March 18), the fashionista addressed the hate coming her way. “A mf answer a question for my fans and y’all think a bitch tryna flex going to jail. Lmao, what?” Latto asked yesterday afternoon. While some trolls continued to press her about the LAX incident, others stood supportively by the “Wheelie” rapper in her time of need. “You know you’ve made it when you can’t sneeze without offending someone,” one person quipped. “Literally they always in your business,” another pointed out.

While the internet drama certainly isn’t fun, the 24-year-old clearly had a great time attending the Atlanta Hawks NBA game at State Farm Arena to kick off her weekend. Looking as stunning as ever, she stepped out in a fun, single-strap Chanel dress, carrying a quilted light pink purse from the same brand. Her bronde hair was swept back into a ponytail, and the smile on her face made it evident that the haters aren’t stopping her shine. Keep scrolling for more photos and videos from Latto’s Friday night out, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
