Ashanti Fan Proclaims “Big D**k Energy” At Show & Sends Her Into Hysterics: Watch

by

Ashanti is an incredibly talented performer, so much so that she’s already done almost all she can do. Instead of keeping that up exclusively, now she wants to bring her fans into the equation. Moreover, during a recent concert, the singer brought up some guys onstage, presumably for a lap dance routine from dancers as one of them was sitting down. While speaking to one fan, who proclaimed that he’s “representing for big d**k energy,” she couldn’t contain her laughter amid raucous cheers from the crowd and other performers alike. Just goes to show that a little confidence goes a long way.

Furthermore, it’s actually quite wholesome to see Ashanti have some fun with this part of her show as she builds a nurturing relationship with longtime on-and-off-again partner, Nelly. Not everyone is a fan of their relationship, but that’s a pretty small- albeit vocal- minority amid a lot of people that are happy they’re back together. They are living large with surprise birthday parties, brand new cars, and some truly adorable viral moments. But that hasn’t stopped either of them from having some fun on their own, which is a heartening balance to witness.

Ashanti Laughs At Eager Fan’s Confidence: Watch

Not only that, but she’s been able to share this fun with other artists, of which the most notable recent example was Usher. Ashanti hit up his Las Vegas residency and wished him a happy birthday, a favor he was happy to return to her via a joint singing performance. The two R&B stars’ birthdays were only one day apart, and it coincided with a massive stage for them to show love to one another. We can’t think of a better way to acknowledge and celebrate this connection… and to hear people sing “Happy Birthday” competently, for once.

Meanwhile, Nelly and his boo use everything they can to show each other love, even explicit lyrics from Sexyy Red. As such, it’s no surprise that she took so kindly and joyfully to a fan’s “big d**k energy.” Do you think the “Hot In Herre” MC reciprocates that in the same way? Let us know what your take is in the comments and stay up to date on HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Ashanti.

Flip is far from the first rapper to co-sign Teezo during the last year. He’s appeared on Travis Scott’s fourth album, Utopia, as well as Drake’s eighth album, For All The Dogs. Of Teezo’s debut project, Drake had high praise. “Usually it’s a cut throat cryptic caption for the ones that turned on the gang members but tonight I just heard some of the best music ever so I am happy and I will spare you little birdies thanks to @teezotouchdown,” Drake wrote on social media.

Lil Uzi Vert Is Thrilled About Grammy Nomination: “This Really Means A Lot”

by

Lil Uzi Vert has been giving their fans and music listeners across the world so many great tracks. When they started to gain traction in 2015-2016, it was an exciting time in rap. Their voice and style was something quite different from most mainstream artists. It helped blossom them into a star fairly quickly. “Money Longer” was a song that really put them on the map for those who were not in the know. Since then, Uzi delivered and then some every year. They were always near the top of the charts, if not at number one.

Tracks like “XO Tour Llif3,” “Bad and Boujee” “Sideline Watching (Hold Up),” and “Ps & Qs,” just had something special to them. The main reason for that is Uzi’s incredible energy and laid-back vibe they like to bring to their music. One of those that need to be in that conversation is “Just Wanna Rock.” Everything from the Jersey club style beat, to the dance that has taken over social media, it has become another global phenomenon.

Lil Uzi Vert Is Very Thankful

Because of this, Uzi has earned a Grammy nomination for it at next year’s award show. It received the nod for Best Rap Song and it will compete with artists like Doja Cat, Nicki Minaj, Drake, Killer Mike, and more. Interestingly, this is just Uzi’s third Grammy nod in his career. Because of this, they were extra appreciative of it at a recent show for their Pink Tape tour. Here is what they had to say, according to some footage provided by HipHopDX. They said, “I got nominated for a Grammy this year. And I don’t really get nominated often, so this really means a lot to me.” After that, they proceeded to play “Just Wanna Rock” and the crowd went nuts.

What are your initial thoughts on Lil Uzi Vert celebrating their Grammy nomination for “Just Wanna Rock?” Out of all of their hit songs, is this one of them that deserves this recognition? Were you surprised that they had a small amount of Grammy nods? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest breaking news around Lil Uzi Vert, as well as everything else going on around the music world.

50 Cent and Ed Sheeran have collaborated off the stage as well in previous years. Back in 2019, they made the song “Remember the Name” with Eminem. After its release, Sheeran spoke about his relationship with the two rappers on Hot Ones. “If you were to go into my school and go, at the height of Shady Records, at the height of Aftermath [Entertainment], and go, ‘Which one of these kids is gonna do a song with Eminem and 50 Cent?’ No one would’ve guessed me,” Sheeran joked at the time. “50 will probably disagree with this, [but] I don’t think 50 had a fucking clue who I was. I think afterward he was like, ‘Oh, the ‘Shape of You’ guy!’” Check out his appearance on The Final Lap tour below.

Prior to Tuesday’s show, Sheeran also performed an acoustic cover of 50 Cent’s “In Da Club” during a John Mayer concert. When fans trolled him for the rendition, 50 came to his defense on social media. “Ed Sheeran right now in LA at the John Mayer concert Killing shit!” 50 wrote. Be on the lookout for further updates from The Final Lap tour on HotNewHipHop.

However, it seems like he has a new musical endeavor on the way. Unfortunately for some, it won’t actually be an album. Instead, it is a video game live performance.

As we reported yesterday, Eminem is going to be performing during the Fortnite live event on December 2nd. Fortnite is seeing a nice resurgence right now thanks to the OG map. Fans love the nostalgia factor and it has a lot of people back on the game. Even streamers like Ninja have seen an uptick in viewers. That said, it is all coming to an end on December 2nd as a new map will be presented. Em will be the one to usher in that new era with his performance.

Travis Scott Performs “FEIN” 10 Times In A Row At Tulsa Concert: Watch

by

Travis Scott’s Circus Maximus tour understandably brought a lot of energy to every city it stopped in so far across the United States. Moreover, for the remaining tour dates, we’re sure that there will be even more greatness to witness- at least, if his show in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Saturday (November 18) is anything to go off of when it comes to predictions. Not only was the crowd incredibly excited and hyped to see La Flame live, but he seemed just as amped-up to perform his biggest songs and some UTOPIA highlights. When it comes to the 2023 album’s tracklist, no song quite gets a room- or arena, in this case- fired up quite like the Playboi Carti and Sheck Wes-assisted “FE!N.”

Furthermore, Travis Scott performed that song 10 times in a row, although it’s unclear exactly how much of it he let play. After all, he could’ve just let the chorus loop a couple of times and had that count, but regardless, it seemed like quite the hype experience. In fact, this song seems to be a staple part of the Houston artist’s live performances these days. After all, when Carti came out to join him onstage for a rendition of it recently, the crowd went absolutely ballistic.

Elsewhere, when the “SIRENS” MC isn’t giving fans a spectacle, he’s spent a lot of time in the headlines and with the press due to his GQ interviews and Man Of The Year promo material. A reported approached him at the awards’ red carpet, and he took their flashcards to ask them to himself. “‘You wanted to turn UTOPIA into a musical. Is there a plan for a Broadway show yet?’ F**k yeah, it is,” he expressed. “‘You said you wanted to study architecture at Harvard. Which city’s architecture inspires you the most?’ Not gonna lie, Tokyo is kind of fire. Rome is fire, Pompeii is actually amazing, Chile is actually cr*zy […] Brazil is actually f***ing beautiful.”

Meanwhile, it’s been interesting to see the 32-year-old pop out a bit more often these days. Sure, it might be promotion for his new project, but it was a long wait of very little opportunities to see what was on his mind. By matching his press runs with this and other performance highlights from Circus Maximus, we can get a clearer picture. For more news and the latest updates on Travis Scott, stay logged into HNHH.

Lil Wayne Listens To This Classic Artist To Calm Him Down Before Shows

by

Even though Lil Wayne has an incredible career behind him, and a path forward that hasn’t finished, he still gets nervous before performances. Of course, this is natural and normal for people to experience, and you’d be correct in assuming he has a way to handle these reservations. However, you might be taken aback by what Tunechi- who is still releasing great new music– needs to cure his stomachaches and anxieties. Moreover, he revealed as such while speaking with boxer Terrence Crawford on his Apple Music show, Young Money Radio. Unsurprisingly, what keeps Weezy in check and confident is exactly what he does that gets him so jittery: music.

“I put on Anita Baker,” Lil Wayne surprisingly expressed, naming the classic soul legend as the only artist whose work can get him out of that nervous zone. Perhaps you expected a hip-hop companion or some other musician, but there’s nothing like some Rapture. “She take the pain away. I told her to her face too, and she said I’m not the first person to tell her that. I looked [at her] dead in the eyes and told her, ‘I get a very strong stomach ache and I’ve been getting it since day one. Before I go on stage, there’s nothing that works but you.’

“‘I just put it on shuffle,” Lil Wayne continued. “Don’t matter what the song is. When your voice come through, my stomach ache go away.’ She goes, ‘You not the first person to tell me that.’ I go, ‘See, you know I ain’t lying, then.’ She’s a beautiful hell of a woman.” This is praise that plenty of other artists have for the New Orleans legend, including fellow Louisiana icon Master P.

Meanwhile, the No Ceilings MC doesn’t let his nerves get in the way of amazing concert appearances. For example, he recently blew The Game’s mind with a guest freestyle while onstage at a recent Fugees concert. Just goes to show that anxiety can always be overcome, and that Anita Baker is really that woman. For more news and the latest updates on Lil Wayne, come back to HNHH.

50 Cent Won’t Face Charges For Mic-Throwing Incident During Concert: Report

by

In case you already forgot about 50 Cent’s microphone-throwing incident during an August concert earlier this year, the court is here to remind you that you have plenty of time to reacquaint yourself before the case officially closes. However, they informed us of this by officially stating that they will not criminally charge him for this incident. Moreover, legal authorities will keep the filing open until August 30, 2024, exactly one year after the incident. This means that the New York rapper must behave during this time, as he could still be reevaluated for criminal charges if anything else occurs between him and the poor soul that he struck in the head by flinging his mic into the stands.

For those unaware, 50 Cent became frustrated with technical difficulties during a show in Los Angeles. When he lobbed it into the crowd with force, it hit Power 106 radio host Bryhana Monegain, leaving her with lacerations on her face and head that needed medical attention. She filed a police report shortly after, which went to L.A. County’s District Attorney as a felony, and then landed in the Los Angeles City Attorney’s office. This last entity is the one that let TMZ know that Fif is not getting criminal charges right now and will not receive them, as long as he stays out of trouble with Bryhana and in general for the next ten months or so.

“Let’s be very clear,” 50 Cent’s lawyer Scott Leemon expressed in a statement concerning this incident. “As I told LAPD this afternoon, my client Curtis would never intentionally strike anyone with a microphone. Anyone saying something different doesn’t have all the facts and is misinformed.” This situation caused many to criticize the G-Unit MC for his actions despite his legal dismissal of any wrongdoing, including longtime rival The Game.

Meanwhile, others like DJ Envy actually came to his defense here, so in the public eye, it’s still pretty divisive. Still, at least in the legal sense, it looks like this is where the case will rest, and where it will hopefully stay for the next ten months. As such, it’ll be more of a debate and wild moment to look back on than another drama-fueled and contentious narrative. For more news and the latest updates on 50 Cent, log back into HNHH.

50 Cent Praises Old Fan Rocking Out At His UK Show: Watch

by

50 Cent is a legendary rapper, and though many young fans may see him as a dinosaur today, he’s definitely not that old. However, that doesn’t really have any bearing on his music: it’s endured and resonated in such a massive way that even the youngest and oldest of those who come across him can become fans. What’s more is that Fif loves to show these fans love, because they continue to prove to him that his art is not only timeless, but wide-reaching. It’s an impact that he celebrates and loves to highlight, and his most recent receiver of said love was an old lady who went to his recent UK show. It was at the Queens legend’s last of two concerts at the World Resorts Arena in Birmingham during a performance of his song “Ayo Technology” off of his album Curtis.

Moreover, the woman in question threw her hand up and down among the crowd in the hilarious clip, looking cool, collected, but nonetheless moved by the music. 50 Cent reposted this video on Instagram on Tuesday (November 14), and fans had a good laugh in the comments as well as admiration for her. “The coolest person at my show tonight by far,” he captioned the video. “She was rocking wit me. Birmingham second show. LOL.”

Not only that, but fans are also loving 50 Cent’s aerial antics at his shows, or at the very least expressing amusement at the use of wires. His The Final Lap tour has been incredibly successful so far, and gives him a chance to connect with many fans. For meet and greet sessions, the G-Unit mogul has encountered so many different perspectives, backgrounds, and reasons for which people connect with him. Sometimes, it can be hard to appreciate them amid artistic struggles and hustles, but he always makes time for his fans.

Meanwhile, other rap fans are also excited about what the Power and BMF entertainment icon will do on wax. He narrated a teaser for Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz’s upcoming album Welcome 2 ColleGrove, and die-hard hope that it won’t be the only contribution he makes. We’ll see what happens when the project lands tomorrow (Friday, November 17). For more news and the latest updates on 50 Cent, come back to HNHH.
