Speaking with XXL at the time, Ye revealed that a trip to Paris inspired him to make the song. “I am where art meets commercial,” he said. “The sweet spot between the hood and Hollywood. Having a conversation with Karl Lagerfeld and Jay-Z within the same hour. When we’re in Paris dressing all crazy at fashion shows, we listening to Jay-Z. Jeezy in Paris, that’s what it is.” Check out the clip of West performing the song in Paris below.

Drake Brings Out Machine Gun Kelly & Doe Boy For Cleveland Show

by

Drake brought out two hometown musicians in Machine Gun Kelly and Doe Boy as he hit up Cleveland, Ohio. The walkout marked the latest stop on the “It’s All A Blur – Big As The What?” Tour. However, some fans questioned where Kid Cudi, another Cleveland legend, was.

However, Kelly is a pretty good pull. The pop punk artist is famously proud of his hometown. Late last year, he appeared on Travis Kelce’s podcast and tried to get the tight end to return home. “I’m sure you get asked this question behind closed doors a lot, but I would be remiss if due to the nature of our friendship and just as a Clevelander if I did not insert this question personally. I will give you $500,000 cash upon arrival just for shopping or whatever you want. As well as matching that same amount as a donation to both of our high schools — both Shaker Heights and Cleveland Heights — as well as everyday breakfast and coffee delivery from my restaurant, if you would just come home and put on these colors right here. Come on home, Trav! Come home, put these colors on and rock the city,” MGK said while calling into New Heights.

Drake Jokingly Asks Canadian Government To Annex Buffalo

Meanwhile, Drake jokingly requested that the Canadian government annex the City of Buffalo to allow his friends living under travel restrictions to see him perform. “@canada can we make Buffalo a province for a day so my friends that can’t travel can come see me perform…just this one time,” Drake wrote on Instagram. The It’s All A Blur – Big As The What? Tour is scheduled to arrive in Buffalo next week. The tour, featuring Lil Durk and J. Cole, is an extension of the tour Drake did last year with 21 Savage.

Buffalo has long been used as “not Canada” by various entities. When COVID travel restrictions made it difficult for MLB teams to visit Toronto, the Blue Jays briefly relocated to their minor league affiliate in Buffalo for several games. Buffalo is a common tour stop for musicians due to its size and promixity to Canada. The city is around 28 miles from the Canadian border. However, the Canadian government has yet to respond to Drake’s request.

Lil Durk Tells Fans To Stop Leaking His Music While Teasing A New Track

by

Lil Durk has a lot to be happy about right now. The longtime Chicago rapper won his first-ever GRAMMY for “All My Life” in the Best Melodic Rap Performance category. Then, not too long after that, his friend and collaborator, Drake, revealed that he was added to the remainder of the It’s All A Blur – Big As The What? Tour. On top of that, his collaborations in 2024 have been solid as well.

Even with all of that success going on, he still has a bone to pick with the fans. Lil Durk walked down to the stage while someone walked behind him and held up a sign saying, ” The more y’all leak, the longer it takes.” While his music has been released early by eager supporters, Durk was being a hypocrite in this situation. While greeting the fans and heading down to perform, he was teasing an unreleased track.

DJ Akademiks shared the video on his IG and expectedly, the comments section was having a field day. While there were some joking Durk was being hypocritical, most were also questioning who actually likes his music. One person writes, “Don’t nobody wanna listen to durk especially not no leaks.” Some were also dragging NBA YoungBoy into this by comparing whose music is better. “YB way better like way way better 💯” Like the fans, we are also scratching our heads with this one.

What are your thoughts on Lil Durk going against his own message to his fans by leaking music himself? Do you think leaks are good or bad for the music industry, why or why not? Do you think fans are too harsh to the Chicago rapper? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Lil Durk. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on around the world of music.

Drake Offers Cancer Survivor $50k During Concert

by

Drake promised to give $50,000 to a fan who survived cancer during his performance in Pittsburgh on Friday night. At one point, Drake pointed to a fan holding a sign, which according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, read: “Ur music carried me through cancer.” He then offered to bless the attendee with a huge paycheck.

It’s not the first time on the It’s All a Blur — Big as the What? Tour that Drake has offered to help out a cancer survivor. In Nashville, last week, he gave a shoutout to a fan who noted they just finished chemo. “I hope my manager doesn’t kill me ’cause I’ve never really done this much, but listen, I want you to cash this in at the end of the night,” he said at the time. “We’re gonna give you $100,000. I love you and I wish you the best.”

Drake has been performing on the tour with J. Cole and Lil Durk for weeks now.

You never know. I might get bored and start making some new music on the road, see where it goes in the next little while.” Check out his interaction in Pittsburgh below.

As for his plans to step away from music, he explained on his SiriusXM radio show, Table for One, that he wanted to focus on his health. “I probably won’t make music for a little bit,” he said at the time. “I’m going to be real with you: I need to focus on my health, first and foremost — and I’ll talk about that soon enough. Nothing crazy, but just like, you know, I want people to be healthy in life. I’ve been having the craziest problems for years with my stomach so I need to focus on my health, and I need to get right, and I’m going to do that. I have a lot of other things that I would love to focus on.”

Busta Rhymes Reflects On 50 Cent’s Work Ethic During “Final Lap” Tour: “He Don’t Play”

by

Busta Rhymes says that 50 Cent’s the Final Lap tour was “the most incredible tour” he’s ever been on. He performed alongside the New York rapper for over 100 shows across the globe during the second half of 2023. The tour was in celebration of the 20th Anniversary of 50’s iconic album, Get Rich or Die Tryin’. Busta discussed the experience with Big Boy for an interview, earlier this week.

“Big up to 50 Cent for bringin’ us out there on his Final Lap tour,” he said. “Not only was that probably the most incredible tour that I’ve ever been on, and I’ve been on many. I’m saying that because every night, every arena was sold out. I’ve never been on a tour for five months. […] My last show was November 21. He’s still on that same tour. 50…that’s one thing. He don’t play with that work.”

Busta is far from the first person to speak on 50’s work ethic. Tony Yayo, who also performed on the Final Lap tour, recently spoke about how draining it was during an interview with VladTV. “I’m tired, we just did six shows back to back,” Yayo said. “50’s running on the stages, lifting cranes, switching seven outfits, he goes to the gym twice a day. 50’s not f*cking around.” Check out Busta’s comments on 50 below.

And then I had to walk away from the table and get it forever on my body.”

Drake Appears To Shade Rihanna During “It’s All A Blur Tour — Big As The What?” Opening Night

by

Drake seemed to throw a bit of shade at Rihanna during the opening night of his It’s All A Blur Tour — Big As The What? in Tampa, Florida on Friday night. As his 2016 song, “Work,” began to play, he remarked, “I don’t sing this song anymore, but you [all] can sing it though.”

Drake teamed up with Rihanna for “Work” to assist on the singer’s eighth studio album, Anti. The song was a commercial success, spending nine weeks atop the US Billboard Hot 100. It was also nominated for Record of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 59th Grammy Awards.

Friday night isn’t the first time Drake has appeared to diss Rihanna. On his For All The Dogs cut, “Fear of Heights,” he seemed to be referencing the singer and her album, Anti, with the lyrics. “Why they make it sound like I’m still hung up on you? / That could never be / Gyal can’t ruin me / Better him than me / Better it’s not me,” Drake raps. “I’m anti, I’m anti / Yeah, and the sex was average with you / Yeah, I’m anti ’cause I had it with you … / And I had way badder bitches than you, TBH.”

Travis Scott Stops Concert To Lecture Stage-Rushing Fan: Watch

by

Travis Scott showed that he had learned from the tragedies of his past as he stopped a show to lecture a fan who tried to rush the stage at his recent show. “Ragin’ ain’t runnin’. If you runnin’ down here, that ain’t ragin’. Ragin’ is ragin’. Get back out there before one of these n-ggas knock your lights out. You get what I’m sayin’?” Scott told the fan before sending him back into the crowd. The rest of the audience proceeded to show the admonished fan what “ragin” actually looked like.

Of course, Scott is particularly sensitive to the dangers of a fan rush following the infamous AstroWorld tragedy. It’s not the first time that Scott has admonished a fan on the current Circus Maximus tour. While in Austin, Scott chose to rage alongside a fan who rushed the stage. However, he did give the fan a talking to before deciding to indulge them. Despite these hiccups, the Circus Maximus tour has proven to be a massive success for Scott. It recently included a surprise appearance from Kanye West and may result in a new album being released.

Nick Saban Golfs With 50 Cent And Travis Scott

Meanwhile, Nick Saban is clearly enjoying retirement as he teamed up with Scott and 50 Cent at a charity golf event last weekend. Saban hit the links in Palm Beach as part of the Mr. October Celebrity Golf Classic. Hosted by former MLB superstar Reggie Jackson (Mr. October), Saban’s pairing for the event was Fif and Scott. The event raised over $1M for Jackson’s foundation, which helps acquire STEM funding.

Saban is an avid golfer and has been throughout his tenured coaching career. He is neighbors with Tiger Woods after purchasing a property in Jupiter, Florida last year. Furthermore, he is also the partial owner of the Waterall Club, a private golf community in Clayton, Georgia. However, there’s no immediate information on what the trio shot on the Palm Beach course.

Rihanna Vibes At ASAP Rocky Paris Fashion Week Concert

by

Rihanna was spotted vibing at ASAP Rocky’s recent concert in Paris. It was some small subtle grooving in the VIP section but Rihanna was certainly feeling the vibes. Rocky and Rihanna had hit up the French capital for Fashion Week. This is despite the looming threat of incarceration for Rocky on federal gun charges. The last time the couple publicly hit up Paris last year for the city’s fashion week. Rihanna rocked a modern camo sports bra and sweatpants. She also caused a stir after wearing a Cartier watch as a choker.

As mentioned, it was a fairly muted reaction from Rihanna. There have been examples of her being more effusive. A video posted to her official TikTok account shows a collection of adorable reactions from the musical superstar as she encounters the various samples of FENTY’s collab with Puma. “Oh my God, isn’t this the cutest shit ever?” Rihanna says to someone on her phone as she holds up a little baby sneaker. “Oh my God, stop,” she is heard saying as she stops the presentation to take a picture of the samples.

Social Media Falls For Rihanna Pregnancy Hoax

Meanwhile, social media recently fell for a Rihanna pregnancy hoax. The wave of speculation appears to have begun with a post from X user @LustSierra, who posted a photo of A$AP Rocky posing with a visibly pregnant Rihanna. This led other social media users to question whether she was pregnant with the couple’s third child, Riot Rose.

However, it appears that the speculation is nothing more than a wild rumor. Community Notes users have reportedly identified the photo as being from June 2023, when Rocky and she attended the Louis Vuitton show at Paris Fashion Week. Given that @LustSierra is an X Premium user, there is the possibility that the original post is intentionally fake. X Premium users are compensated based on their engagement, thus incentivizing people to produce content that could go viral regardless of its veracity.
