Beyonce Breaks Massive Concert Grossing Milestone

August 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Everybody has been talking about the Renaissance Tour. After making its way across Europe Beyonce brought the show to North America and is making news every single night. One of the biggest reasons is the constant stream of celebrities showing up in attendance for every single show. Between Renaissance, Taylor Swift’s “Eras” Tour, and Drake’s “It’s All A Blur” tour there are hundreds of celebs showing up to see a concert every single night. In just the past few weeks alone everyone from Oprah to Kamala Harris and even Madonna have shown up to see Queen B perform.

Now after a recent series of shows at MetLife stadium Beyonce has added another massive record to her collection. She earned the highest-grossing concerts by a female artist in history with $16.5 million generated each night during her stay. After the news broke fans reached out to congratulate and praise Bey. “I don’t think y’all really understand she’s not even done with the tour yet,” one comment reads. “Her shows are good that lady dancing n singing for hours over the age 40 got 3kids and don’t look even a lil tired,” says another excited fan.

Earlier this week Beyonce proved just how dedicated she is to bringing quality performances to her fans. Her show in Maryland was forced to start late due to weather delays. As a result, Beyonce decided to pay $100k herself in order to keep public transportation open for her fans.

Beyonce also found herself swept up in drama surrounding Lizzo recently. The “About Damn Time” singer was recently sued by former dancers and accused of creating a hostile working environment. Lizzo is one of the names listed in the Queens Remix of Bey’s hit song “Break My Soul” but in her first performance after the allegations were made public, Lizzo’s name was skipped over. Though she was ultimately returned to the performances many fans still see her being left out as a slight. What do you think of Beyonce’s newest record-breaking tour milestone? Let us know in the comment section below.

August 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Beyonce paid to extend metro service hours in Maryland to help fans commute home from shows at FedEx Field on her Renaissance Tour over the weekend. The move came after Gov. Wes Moore proclaimed Sunday, August 6th to be “Beyonce Day” in the state.

Beyonce’s show on Sunday was delayed nearly two hours for a shelter-in-place order regarding severe weather. She decided to drop approximately $100,000 to extend the transit hours so that the show could go on. Beyonce kept all 98 stations open for customers to exit, and paid for other operational expenses as well.

As for the celebration of Beyonce Day, Moore made the announcement in a video on social media. He explained: “Beyonce Knowles-Carter has not only captivated the world with her irreplaceable talent, she continues to ring the alarm about putting love on top. From BeyGood’s Black Parade, traveling across more than 10 cities to support small businesses to her advocacy, her social justice and freedom, Beyonce has shown us that using one’s platform can truly make a difference. It is my joy to extend a warm Maryland welcome to Beyonce as she graces us with her presence at FedEx Field in Landover.” Check out the full post on Twitter below.

She’s been making various headlines through the run of shows, most recently for etching Lizzo’s name off the remix to “Break My Soul.” The move came following a lawsuit filed against Lizzo accusing her of sexual harassment and workplace hostility. Beyonce also recently responded to Erykah Badu’s accusation that she’s copied her iconic style.

Drake Gives Hilarious Backhanded Compliment To Fan Wearing Yeezys

August 5, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The It’s All a Blur Tour has already been very memorable. After starting nearly a month after it was supposed to, Drake’s had phones and bras thrown at him while also having fans face-plant at his guest stars. Meanwhile, the Kentucky Wildcats are training on his personal court. In short, it’s a very exciting time to be Drake. And that’s not getting into how he reignited his beef with Anna Wintour during his Boston shows. Fans spotted a giant, unflattering hologram of Wintour’s head multiple times during the concert.

Meanwhile, off the stage, Drake has tried to hook Bobbi Althoff up with his boy Smiley. He has also linked up with Kiyan Anthony and made some bizarre comments about Giannis Antetokounmpo while in Milwaukee. It feels like a tour stop doesn’t go by without Drake pulling at least one headline. Granted, a lot of them about the bras that have been thrown onto the stage but regardless. Well now Drake is giving his fans some fashion advice.

Drake Roasts A Fan’s Yeezys

A post shared by Our Generation Music (@ourgenerationmusic)

At a recent concert performance, Drake gave a backhanded compliment to a fan near the stage. “You look great bro. Even though you’re wearing Yeezys, you look great.” Of course, Drake is referring to the shoe line developed by the now-infamous Kanye West. After a long legal battle following Adidas’ very public divorce from West after his slew of antisemitic comments towards the end of 2022. Despite the fallout, the brand remains immensely popular. Adidas made their recently made their first restock of Yeezys since the incident, making nearly $350 million worth of the shoes.

Meanwhile, Birdman has been making some bold claims about Drake. “So you know with Nicki and Drake, that s**t about $15-20million a show,” Birdman stated. “Big facts. A lot of [money on the table]. $4-5million a show. We’ve been offered about $4-5million a show. That’s without Drake and Nicki,” Birdman said about a Young Money reunion. The It’s All a Blur tour is currently on its way to a four-show stretch in Inglewood. Overall, the tour runs until the start of October.

Post Malone Gifts Young Fan His Guitar After Show

August 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Post Malone has a long history of making nice gestures for fans. At a recent stop in Tampa Post stuck around afterward to chat with some fans. One fan, in particular, got his potential, an 11-year-old named Winter. The fan couldn’t have possibly foreseen what was coming though. Post gave her just about the coolest thing possible, the guitar he used to perform that night. TMZ shared cellphone video of the exchange and caught up with the fan and her mother afterward. It turns out that they’ve been to 5 of Post’s shows before. While they’ve seen him give away smashed guitars to fans, they couldn’t believe he took the still intact guitar right off his back and gave it to Winter.

Post Malone just dropped his new album AUSTIN last week. Two of the album’s singles “Mourning” and “Chemical” have hung around in the Hot 100 since they first dropped. The album is set up to achieve even more chart success soon. It’s expected to sell over 100k copies in its first week. Those numbers could get it as high as number 2, behind Travis Scott’s UTOPIA. That would make it Post’s 5th straight studio album to debut in the top 5. Two of them Beerbongs & Bentleys and Hollywood’s Bleeding hit number 1.

Post Malone Makes Fans’ Night

Finding silly headlines about Post Malone hasn’t been hard recently. Just yesterday he stopped by the Call Her Daddy podcast. While there he told a story about trying to propose to his fiancé while far from sober and getting turned down. Thankfully it all worked out in the end and Post is comfortable enough sharing the funny story with fans.

Just a day before that Post shocked fans by spending $2 million on a Magic: The Gathering card. It’s reportedly the most expensive card ever sold from the game and Post is officially the new owner. It reminded fans of Drake, who just bought a ring worn by 2pac in his last public appearance for $1 million. What do you think of Post Malone giving a young fan a $5k guitar? Let us know in the comment section below.

Drake Concert Attendee Dissed For Using Phone While Standing Feet Away From Rapper

August 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

For many Drake fans, the opportunity to experience one of his concerts from floor seats would be a dream come true – one that leaves them unable to take their eyes away from the performance unfolding in front of them. That definitely isn’t the case for everyone at his It’s All a Blur tour, even with the astoundingly expensive ticket prices. During a recent show of Champagne Papi’s, a female attendee caught the internet’s attention with the uninterested expression on her face amid the concert.

As the 36-year-old does his best to entertain the thousands watching on, one of those fortunate enough to be just feet away from him couldn’t stop checking her phone. Near the end of the clip she appears to be capturing a video of Drake singing, but still, social media isn’t letting her off easily. “Why she on her phone?” a TikTok user asked after catching the video. “The girl in the back trying hard to be mysterious ,” someone else speculated, suggesting that she thought playing nonchalant would attract the performer’s attention her way.

“Y’all getting mad she on her phone not knowing people deal with anxiety differently,” someone else chimed in, giving the anonymous woman some grace. Of course, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen a concert patron go viral this month. Just last week, the woman who threw her 36G bra on stage at Drizzy landed herself a deal with Playboy‘s content-selling service.

Drake recently wrapped up an impressive string of shows in New York City, and he couldn’t help but make an appearance at Starlets Strip Club. Not only did the Canadian leave behind Travis Scott’s UTOPIA briefcase, but he also spoke with Sidetalk NYC about what he looks for in a woman these days. Read everything Drake had to say at the link below and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Travis Scott Fans Throw “Utopia” Party At Pyramids Despite Canceled Concert

July 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Fans of Travis Scott celebrated the release of Utopia at the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, where the rapper had intended to host a concert. Video of the group of fans partying while rapping the lyrics to “No Bystanders” has gone viral on social media. A fan page of Scott’s shared the initial video of the night, which prompted more fans to share their own clips.

Live Nation first announced the cancelation of Scott’s concert on July 26. “We regret to inform you that the UTOPIA show, originally scheduled for July 28th at the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt is canceled,” the company said in a statement on Twitter. “Unfortunately, despite highest efforts, complex production issues meant that the show could not be constructed in the desert. We understand that this news is disappointing and not the outcome any of us desired.”

Scott later confirmed that he still intends to perform at the pyramids in some capacity, but will have to figure out a new date. “Egypt at the pyramids will happen But due to demand and detail logistics They just need a bit a time to set lay on lands,” Scott said in a tweet.

Egyptian General Syndicate for Musical Professions halted the concert shortly after Scott announced it. “Since the General Syndicate is part of the fabric of this beloved country it is keen on its stability and refuses to tamper with societal values and Egyptian and Arab customs,” the organization said in a statement. “Based on research and documented information about strange rituals at Travis’s concerts that are inconsistent with our authentic societal values and traditions, the Board of Directors has decided to cancel the license issued to hold this type of concert that contradicts the cultural identity of the Egyptian people.”

GloRilla Sneaks Chicken Wings Into Drake Show

July 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

A new clip circulating the internet shows GloRilla chowing down on some wings during a recent Drake Show. Tierra Whack posted the video on social media, writing “this girl snuck chicken wings in this Drake show,” alongside several laughing emojis. Nobody can blame the “Tomorrow” star for bringing a snack to show, as she’ll need all the energy she can get for her upcoming tour with Lil Baby.

The “It’s Only Us” tour will also feature The Kid LAROI, Rylo Rodriguez, Gloss Up, and Hunxho. The group will perform in various cities around the U.S., making notable stops in Los Angles, Chicago, Louisville, and more. The tour kicks off later this week with a show in Austin, TX on July 26. They’ll wrap things up in New Orleans, LA with a performance at Smoothie King Center in September.

GloRilla Feasts During Drake Concert

Drake embarked on his “It’s All A Blur” tour at the end of last month. He’ll make various stops across the U.S. and Canada before closing the tour in October. He’s also joined on the tour by his Her Loss collaborator, 21 Savage. He’s been teasing his upcoming album For All The Dogs throughout the tour. Drake was even recently photographed rocking a doberman mask. Nicki Minaj is confirmed to be on the new album, and fans can’t wait to hear it. Luckily, they won’t have to wait much longer, as the artist just revealed that the album should drop in a “couple weeks.”

GloRilla isn’t the only celebrity guest to appear at one of Drake’s shows recently. Last week, Summer Walker and Sexyy Red were spotted on a jumbotron at his performance at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center. The duo waved and smiled at fans, while Sexyy Red even lifted her shirt, almost flashing the crowd. It didn’t come as much of a surprise that the “Pound Town” rapper paid him a visit, as he recently dubbed her his “rightful wife.”
