Beyonce Fans Underwhelmed With Newest “Renaissance” Announcement

by

International fans of mega-star Beyonce were pretty disappointed by her newest announcement and it’s easy to see why. Earlier this year she wrapped up her Renaissance tour which followed her return album of the same name. The series of shows was an absolutely massive affair that grabbed headlines almost every night. As you’d expect, it resulted in a highly successful concert film which hit theaters earlier this month.

The Renaissance tour film is off to a hot start and has already climbed into the top 5 highest-grossing concert movies of all time in just a few weeks. But when Beyonce’s website recently went down followed by a social media post claiming that the “Renaissance” era wasn’t done yet, fans were excited. In particular, international fans were hyped when she shared a list of countries around the world including places like Brazil, Italy, Japan, and South Korea. Many fans justifiably expected that she was announcing tour dates in all of those countries but the official announcement turned out to be something else entirely. Check out the post she made below.

Beyonce’s Announcement Let Fans Down

The actual announcement had to do with Beyonce’s record-breaking concert film. She confirmed that it was coming to theaters in all of those countries. The announcement likely would have excited fans on its own. But after they got their expectations raised with the tease of a potential international extension to her tour, the film announcement was a let down. Subsequently, fans in the Instagram comments of the post expressed their disappointment. Mainly they shared the plans they were already cooking up to see Bey perform. But those plans now turned out to be pointless.

Amid the massive success of Renaissance, Beyonce is about to hit a personal milestone. The era has clearly been lucrative for her as reports claim she’s honing in on billionaire status. What do you think of Beyonce teasing various cities around the world only to announce it was just for screenings of her concert film? Let us know in the comment section below.

Jaidyn Alexis Breaks Silence On Blueface Fan Altercation

by

Jaidyn Alexis and Blueface found themselves in a bit of a situation recently. Overall, the two were in Salt Lake City, Utah for a concert. This was supposed to be a normal show that highlighted Alexis and her music. Unfortunately, things turned sour when a woman threw ice on stage. Subsequently, Blueface invited her up on stage, where she was immediately pushed down and stomped on. In the footage posted online, it seemed as though Blue wanted Alexis to fight the fan for him.

Now, this has led to an actual investigation out in Salt Lake City. The police are saying that they are paying attention and are investigating an “out-of-state artist.” Whether or not this investigation leads to anything, remains to be seen. However, there is no doubt that Alexis and Blueface will have to be a lot more careful, moving forward. Having said all of that, Alexis has now taken to Twitter to break her silence on the matter. In her eyes, she and Blue haven’t done anything wrong.

Sexyy Red Serves Up An Electric Performance Despite Pregnancy

by

For artists in the music industry, you often don’t get the chance to slow down often. For female rappers that can include working through a pregnancy. Many in the past have powered through their pregnancies to record, release, and perform new music. Sexyy Red is no different. One of the biggest breakout stars of 2023 announced her pregnancy in an Instagram selfie alongside SZA a few months ago. But since then she hasn’t slowed down a bit.

In a video making the rounds online, Sexyy Red shows that nothing about her electric live performances has been impacted by her pregnancy. In the clip, she’s sporting some adorable furry boots alongside silver shorts and a matching top. The crowd is matching her energy as well singing along with her and bouncing to the beat. Though many of Red’s typical haters reacted negatively to it online others praised her for continuing to deliver despite the circumstances. Check out the video of her performance in the comment section below.

Sexyy Red being the biggest breakout star in rap music this year is no joke. She released her debut album Hood Hottest Princess earlier this year. The album was launched by “Pound Town 2” with Nicki Minaj and spawned even more hits like “SkeeYee” and “Hellcats SRTs.” Since then she’s collaborated with one major artist after another including Drake, SZA, Lil Durk, Latto, Young Nudy, and DaBaby.

But Red’ reach goes beyond just the artists she’s collaborated with in song. She’s also done an impressive bit of networking and made plenty of friends throughout the rap world. NLE Choppa came to her defense in a series of tweets posted earlier this year. City Girls rapper Yung Miami is also a fan and recently shared a video of herself twerking to one or Red’s songs. What do you think of Sexyy Red maintaining her performance intensity even while pregnant? Let us know in the comment section below.

Blueface Trolls Jaidyn Alexis During Her Soundcheck: Watch

by

It’s no secret that Blueface finds entertainment in trolling Jaidyn Alexis, the mother of his first two kids. He frequently pokes fun at the “Barbie” MC on social media, oftentimes centering his jokes around her career, as well as his role as her de facto manager. As one would expect, this can lead to some tension between the two high school sweethearts, though Jaidyn usually manages to laugh off his occasionally demeaning comments.

This has been no exception as the “Stewie” artist hones her performance skills, as evidenced by a new clip. In the clip, Jaidyn and her backup dancers are seen rehearsing their choreography ahead of one of her shows when the “Thotiana” rapper chimes in. “Talk into the mic,” he urges her, “so you can practice your voice.” Jaidyn more or less tells him to back off, insisting that she knows what she’s doing. “No,” she says sheepishly, letting him know that they’re waiting for others to begin.

Jaidyn Alexis Tells Blueface To Leave Her Alone

“Talk into the mic please,” Blueface persisted, prompting her to reluctantly mumble a few words into her microphone. Laughter ensued, but Jaidyn made it clear that she had it under control, and would prefer that he let her do her thing without interrupting. “Leave me alone!” she joked, “Your st*pid a** embarrassed me so bad.” While some social media users are accusing Blueface of being a “menace,” others are coming to his defense, claiming that he was simply doing his best to “coach” Jaidyn amid her rise to success.

Blueface has maintained a similar sentiment throughout the hate he attracts online, which typically involves his tumultuous relationships with either Jaidyn or Chrisean Rock. He raises some eyebrows with the way he tends to treat the women in his life, but insists that he only wants the best for them. “I empower women, I respect women,” he Tweeted last week. What do you think of this latest clip of Blueface and Jaidyn Alexis? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Gunna Wows Dubai With Exciting Performance, Kills His “Top Off” Rendition

by

Gunna is taking his talents overseas, and his first of two Dubai performances this weekend was quite the show. Moreover, he performed at the Coca-Cola Arena on Saturday (December 16), and will also perform on Sunday (December 17) to open the desert resort Blu Oasis. As such, the (former?) YSL affiliate has a lot to look forward to in the United Arab Emirates and other parts of the world. In fact, it’s very heartening to see him delve into other genres and scenes that weren’t within his Atlanta trap wheelhouse. For example, Sarz and Asake recently brought the College Park native on for an Afrobeat cut, “Happiness.”

Furthermore, following his comeback album this year after his YSL RICO trial controversies, seeing him switch his style up has ranged from surprisingly great to mildly entertaining– at least, in this writer’s opinion. More genres, world influences, travel experiences, and just general growth as a person will surely yield a lot of happiness, greatness, and success for Gunna. After all, his current space in the rap game, although still established and unwavering, seems destined for conflict. Lil Baby turned against his former partner like many other MCs, and while they’d rather see Wunna fall, it’s clear that he won’t let any narratives stop him on his journey.

Regardless of all that, Gunna remains as compelling of a performer as ever, running through verses with methodical pace and making sure every word is felt. Beyond that, it seems like he’s going to take things pretty chill this holiday season. Out of the many people in the 30-year-old’s life with which he will celebrate it, one specific new addition to his circle has fans particularly interested. He recently threw P Litty, his new boo, a fun birthday shindig, and we’re happy that he has someone making his wish come true this winter.

Meanwhile, the Drip Season hitmaker was almost in a car crash recently, and he took it as a sign to update us on new music. Apparently, we might get new material sooner than we think. Do you think there’s another hit album from him coming up in 2024? Let us know in the comments and check back in with HNHH for more news and updates on Gunna.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Hospitalized After Shattering Hip At Concert

by

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar recently stepped out for a concert in LA, but unfortunately, he ended up taking a pretty serious spill. The former NBA star reportedly shattered his hip after falling on the floor and was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital. It remains unclear what concert the 76-year-old was attending, but rep Deborah Morales has confirmed that the incident took place last night (December 15).

Once he arrived at the hospital, it was determined that he had a broken hip, but no further details of his condition are known at the time of writing. “We are all deeply appreciative of all the support for Kareem,” Morales says. “Especially from the Los Angeles Fire Department who assisted Kareem on site and the amazing medical team and doctors at UCLA Hospital who are taking great care of Kareem now.” While she didn’t give fans an update on his current condition, Morales’ statements lead them to believe he’s going to be okay.

The six-time MVP has dealt with some other health complications in the past, including chronic myeloid leukemia as well as prostate cancer, which he’s since beaten. He reflected on learning he had leukemia in 2008 after experiencing hot flashes during a 2018 interview with PEOPLE. He described feeling “very lucky” to be a survivor, detailing his treatment at the time.

“I feel fine, and I’m very fortunate to benefit from the medical research that enable the targeted drugs to deal with the types of leukemia that I possess,” he shared. “I’m very happy to be here and very happy to be participating.” He added that while there’s no real remission with leukemia, he does his best to make the most of his time. “I try to enjoy my life,” he explained. “I’m just trying to hang on here, and every day is blessing.” What do you think of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s recent incident?

Nicki Minaj Brings Out Kai Cenat And Fanum At Concert

by

Nicki Minaj brought out Kai Cenat as well as AMP member Fanum at her recent concert. The move came a few days after Minaj joined Cenat for a wild livestream on his channel. Minaj was loving the chaotic vibes and wealth of attention. At one point, Minaj sent chat wild by furiously twerking at the camera. Minaj is coming off the success of her new album, Pink Friday 2. The project, her first in five years, is expected to shoot to the top of the Billboard Album Chart this week.

Furthermore, the pair broke Cenat’s single-stream viewership record. According to Stream Charts, the stream peaked at 348,593 viewers. Cenat typically averages around 34K for a regular stream. His previous record was just over 306,000 viewers. Did you catch the stream? What did you think? Who do you want to see Cenat stream with next? Let us know in the comments below.

Nicki Minaj Trolls Kai Cenat About His Height

Elsewhere on the stream, Minaj got some playful jabs in. At one point, she told the popular content creator that he was shorter than she expected. Of course, in classic Kai fashion, Cenat over-reacted his heart out, pushing his chair away from Nicki and acting mortally offended. Nicki is 5″2 while Cenat is reportedly 5″9. In the past, Cenat’s stream antics have included wearing height boosters. Furthermore, his larger-than-life personality likely add a few metaphorical inches.

However, things got weird after Minaj left. One of the streamer’s friends took a moment to smell the chair that Minaj had been sitting on. While Cenat and his crew found it hilarious, most commenters online thought it was weird and childish. “N-ggas is weird, I swear they been doing this since middle school,” one person summarized on Instagram. Increasingly so, especially as his stock continues to rise, many people are beginning to tire with Cenat’s immature antics, especially when he is considered a role model by so many young people.

But I feel like today has been a sign. The last time I got on Live I kind of wanted to tell you guys, but I didn’t know how to tell you, so I changed my mind. But it has been like this for a minute now. I just took it as a sign.” She added: “I wanna start 2024, like, fresh, open. I don’t know. I’m curious for a new life, for a new beginning. And yeah, I’m excited.”

Mariah Carey Brings Out Ariana Grande & Jennifer Hudson For “Oh Santa!” Performance In N.Y.C.

by

Mariah Carey brought out Ariana Grande and Jennifer Hudson for a performance of “Oh Santa!” in New York City on Saturday night. The legendary singer is currently traveling on her Merry Christmas One & All! Tour, which will conclude with a return to New York City on December 17.

Carey originally released the song on her second Christmas album, Merry Christmas II You in 2010. She added verses from Grande and Hudson to a new version back in 2020. She included it in Mariah Carey’s Magical Christmas Special.

Speaking with Billboard in December 2020, Carey explained: “I wrote ‘Oh Santa!’ for my album Merry Christmas II You, which was sort of the follow-up to my first Christmas album — we have several [laughs] — and so I think it was all about the actual event, of course, of doing ‘Oh Santa!’ with Jennifer and Ari, but it was also like, how do I see this as a producer? How do I see these vocals having different textures, what are they? Because originally, I was blending with myself, which that’s kind of one of my favorite things, but it was cool to be able to work with the different vocal textures and play around with it and reimagine it. So that’s what happened. And visually, in the special, it really does feel like a girl group moment. I think we all had a good time with it. That was the fun part about it.”

Teyana Taylor Concert Fight Broken Up By Singer’s Eldest Daughter Junie

by

For someone who’s in the middle of a messy divorce, Teyana Taylor is looking amazing. A recent appearance on the red carpet had some questioning if she’s got another bun in the oven, but the mother of two quickly (and gracefully) laughed off that speculation by admitting she was in need of a trip to the washroom to empty her bladder, causing her stomach to bloat in her sexy black gown. Since then, she’s continued to serve looks, more recently hitting up the Balenciaga fashion show with the likes of Kim Kardashian, Sexyy Red, Lil Wayne, and 2 Chainz.

Earlier this week, Taylor was giving a live performance when a scuffle broke out in the audience in front of her. The video below shows the multi-talent approaching the edge of the stage to take a closer look at what was unfolding, her seven-year-old, Junie Shumpert, standing by her side. The young girl didn’t hesitate to call out those disrupting her mom’s concert, confidently telling them to knock it off into the microphone.

Teyana Taylor’s Firstborn Isn’t Here for Any Mess

As Junie speaks, her mom can’t help but smile, clearly proud of her child’s no-nonsense taking attitude. Despite Taylor’s positive attitude, some social media users are suggesting this indicates poor parenting decisions on her part. “I love Teyana DOWN! But you can tell she had Junie in the room when grown folks were talking that’s all I gotta say,” one person wrote. “She tew grown. Ion like it 🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️. Sorry,” another wrote in @hollywoodunlocked’s comment section.

For now, a judge has agreed that Junie and Rue should spend most of their time with their mother, Teyana Taylor. The girls are set to spend Christmas with her, though we’re waiting to hear what the final custody decision will be past that.
