Chris Brown Responds To Thirsty Fans Asking For Him To Strip At His Concerts

July 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Chris Brown’s 11:11 tour has been a wild ride so far, even with some drama with PARTYNEXTDOOR getting in the way towards the tail end. Fans have had a great time during these performances, and he knows this a little bit too well based on what many die-hards have told him about his concerts. “I KEEP GETTING MAD REQUESTs TO TAKE MY SHIRT OFF. I like my clothes though [laughing emoji],” Breezy recently posted to his Instagram Story, ironically using this as the caption for a shirtless picture of him during one of his shows. After all these years (and controversies), folks still fall head over heels for him.

However, a recent report from various outlets, including ours, on Chris Brown’s wholesome interaction with a disabled fan was sadly inaccurate. A viral rumor spread that he refunded her ticket and paid her an extra $10K, claims that the fan was quick to disprove online. “What I’m not okay with is strangers on the internet using my face and exploiting my disability for likes and clicks while spreading misinformation,” they expressed on social media. “That, we not gonna do. Just like everyone else, I support Chris as a brand and as an individual so if you see me at a show or meet and greet, please know that I paid for my ticket. I paid to get there.”

Furthermore, the fan clarified that she and Chris Brown “built a great relationship” over various meet and greets at previous concerts, others of which drew controversy for other reasons. Despite his occasional offers to upgrade seats at certain events and get her free tickets, she said that this doesn’t happen often. Particularly, she took issue with how this false report suggests “that individuals with disabilities don’t have jobs, we don’t function well in society.” “This going around takes away from everything that I personally did to get there,” she added. “It takes away from the hours I work. It takes away from the things that I sacrificed to work the overtime, because I wanted to treat myself.”

With this mind, our sincere apologies go out to the fan for this false report. Hopefully Chris Brown continues to have fun on tour, avoid more stage malfunctions, and treat fans to some thirst-inducing showmanship. Will he ever go the extra mile and really lay it on thick with the sultriness and the stripping? We’ll have to wait and see…

A user on Instagram who is reportedly a “close friend” of Kendrick Lamar addressed The Game’s recent statement about not receiving an invite to The Pop Out – Ken & Friends concert in Los Angeles. DailyRapFacts shared the post on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday. The account, by the name of “rosecrans.moneyelway,” is private.

“Had to choose his words carefully when puttin out his statement about not bein invited to the show,” they wrote. “He not gon disrespect none of our homies tho, n****s know better. We a have that boy on TMZ lookin like Martin after he fought Thomas Hearns.” As for The Game’s comments, he placed the blame on “the industry,” but didn’t get much more specific.

“There’s a lot of f*ckery that goes on in this industry,” Game said in his lengthy video. “I ain’t have to be there to think that the sh*t was motherf*cking cool and major.” However, he clarified of his relationship with Drake: “As far as my relationship with Drake? Drake is my brother … And my loyalty is with motherf*ckers that’s loyal to me.” Game has collaborated with both Lamar and Drake over the years. He recently has been feuding with Rick Ross, who has also taken up arms against Drake with Lamar. Check out the response to Game from Lamar’s apparent friend below.

The Game Addresses Kendrick Lamar Beef Rumors After “Pop Out” Absence

June 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Game is a legendary West Coast rapper. He was the biggest star in Compton during the 2000s, and served as a mentor for the stars who came up under him. He was also absent from the biggest L.A. show in recent memory. Kendrick Lamar brought down the house with his “Pop Out” show on Juneteenth, and fans were quick to point out that Game was one of the few CPT legends who did not get a shout-out or a reference. This led many to theorize that Lamar and Game were on the outs. The latter decided to hop on Instagram Live the day after the show to clear the air.

The Game made it clear that he was a fan of the “Pop Out” show. “Kendrick did his sh*t, and what he did last night was amazing for the West Coast,” he told his followers. “I sat back and I watched it. I ain’t have to be there to think that the muthaf**king sh*t was cool. It’s a dub for the coast.” He assured fans that he has no problem with Lamar or TDE as a label. The rapper actually claimed that he was given the chance to invest in TDE when the label was starting out. “[Anthony] Top Dawg [Tiffith] wanted to give me half of Top Dawg,” The Game stated. “I didn’t want nothing from n**gas. I just wanted to push n**gas in the right direction.”

The Game Claims K. Dot’s Concert Was “Amazing”

The “Hate It or Love It” noted that he doesn’t live to engage in gossip. Still, he was annoyed by what he saw on social media during and after the “Pop Out.” “Stop speculating and doing all that goofy sh*t,” he demanded. “Muthaf**kas in my DM, all these blog sites talking about ‘the West Coast ain’t f**king with you and you ain’t this and you ain’t that. I be in my own lane, chilling. Taking care of my kids.” The Game also felt the need to assert the role he played in helping people like Dot and Nipsey Hussle break through to the mainstream. “That n**ga learned that sh*t on the way up,” he said. “Snoop looked out for me like that, I looked out for Kendrick.”

The rapper does have evidence to support his claim. The Game tapped Kendrick Lamar to appear on his 2011 song “The City,” and reunited with him on 2015’s “On Me.” Lamar, meanwhile, dedicated a verse to The Game on the 2012 song “Black Boy Fly.” The song, which uses Game’s real name, Jayceon Taylor, details the jealously that Lamar felt when the former released his classic debut, The Documentary. The respect has always been mutual between the two rappers, even if the friendliness hasn’t been.

Vince Staples Reveals Why He Missed Kendrick Lamar’s “Pop Out” Show

June 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kendrick Lamar’s “Pop Out” show will go down as a classic moment. E-40, a guy who has seen a lot, deemed it one of the greatest nights in hip-hop history. All the heavy hitters from the West Coast were in attendance. Well, almost. Vince Staples is one of the few L.A. stars who was not present at the show, but it wasn’t for lack of support. Fans questioned why Staples was missing in action, and DJ Mustard set the record straight on social media.

The answer was simple enough. Vince Staples just dropped his latest album, Dark Times, and is gearing up to go on tour. DJ Mustard let it known that Staples was working when the “Pop Out” was popping off. “Vince Staples was overseas making the blacks proud on Juneteenth,” he wrote. “Other wise [sic] magic would of been magic on stage.” The producer is referencing the song “Magic,” a collab that appeared on Staples’ previous album, RAMONA PARK BROKE MY HEART. Vince Staples’ Instagram seems to back up Mustard’s claim. The last time the rapper posted was on June 8, and he included photos from a show he did in Germany.

Vince Staples Shut Down Rumors Of Kendrick Drama

In all honesty, if I knew Tommy The Clown was gonna be there I would’ve cancelled the tour. I been waiting for my moment since ‘02.

— vince (@vincestaples) June 20, 2024

Vince Staples’ busy schedule didn’t stop fans from asking where he was. The rapper even hopped on X (formerly Twitter) to quiet the speculation. “Stop politicking on my behalf,” he wrote. “Enjoy the beautiful moment.” The rapper also voiced his approval over the surprise appearance of Tommy the Clown at the “Pop Out” show. Staples tweeted the L.A. icon’s name, before elaborating. “In all honesty,” he wrote. “If I knew Tommy the Clown was gonna be there I would’ve cancelled the tour. I been waiting for my moment since ‘02.” Tommy the Clown is a dancer best known for pioneering the “clowning” style. In true Staples form, his comment is both hilarious and sincere.

Vince Staples is a Kendrick Lamar supporter. That being said, he didn’t love the impact that Lamar’s beef with Drake had on the music world. He spoke on the matter during a Long Beach event in May. “[Artists] are getting priced out of our contracts, we’re getting priced out of our imprints,” he explained. “There are no labels, basically, that are incentivized to sign Black music.” He then criticized media personalities and label heads for hyping up the beef. “While Taylor Swift is fighting for people to be able to have streaming money,” he noted. “N**gas is on the internet arguing with each other about some rap sh*t.”

E-40 Thanks Kendrick Lamar For Letting Him Narrate The “Pop Out” Show

June 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kendrick Lamar’s “Pop Out” show has been the defining concert event of 2024. The rapper repped the West Coast with pride, and made sure to include every artist and celebrity that he considered vital to the California scene. Naturally, E-40 was among these artists. The Oakland icon had the unique but crucial job of narrating the “Pop Out” show, and to no one’s surprise, he crushed it. E-40’s voice was instantly recognizable, and perfectly suited to sound and feel of the event.

Like everything else related to the “Pop Out,” E-40’s involvement was a surprise. The rapper was tight-lipped about his involvement with Lamar’s pgLang team. He did, however, detail the way his narration came to be on Instagram. E-40 claimed that K. Dot reached out to him while he was on the road, and requested that he carve out time to provide recordings. The interaction reportedly happened over the phone while the rapper was in Washington. “After landing in Washington, DC from Aspen,” he wrote. “I rushed to the hotel to answer the call and contribute some authentic game to what I knew was going to be a monumental night for The West Coast.”

E-40 couldn’t attend the “Pop Out,” but he thanked Kendrick Lamar for making him feel included. He also showed love to the West Coast, which seemed to be the overriding sentiment of the event. “I feel honored to be considered for moments like this,” he added. “Sometimes the West Coast is overlooked. But not tonight. I’m glad I was able to play my part and Sprinkle a little Game on this historical moment.” E-40 dubbed the “Pop Out” concert “one of the biggest nights in hip-hop history,” and the public seems to agree.

Of course, E-40 couldn’t wrap up his message without praising the man of the hour. The West Coast may have won last night, but Kendrick Lamar is the rapper who made it possible, and E-40 made sure to emphasize Dot’s importance. “From the beginning I knew @kendricklamar was gonna be special,” the Oakland icon asserted. “He’s always shown me the utmost love and respect.” Lamar obviously feels a similar reverence for E-40, as he referenced the rapper on his now-classic Metro Boomin collab, “Like That.”

The Weeknd Pops Out At Kendrick Lamar’s Juneteenth Show In Los Angeles

June 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kendrick Lamar sure popped out last night on Juneteenth at Inglewood, California, and both the crowd and the stage held some very special guests for the occasion. Moreover, a new video emerged on social media of The Weeknd partying with Big Hit during the show, particularly at the moment in which ScHoolboy Q came out to perform “Collard Greens” and complete the long-awaited reunion of Black Hippy alongside K.Dot, Ab-Soul, and Jay Rock. It seems like the two were having a great time, and we can only wonder what other celebrities and musicians were also in attendance for the concert.

Furthermore, The Weeknd’s appearance is particularly interesting, since he most likely has more than one reason to show his support. Not only is Kendrick Lamar a former collaborator (see Starboy‘s “Sidewalks”), but Abel Tesfaye also dissed Drake during the WE (STILL) DON’T TRUST YOU collaborative album series from Future and Metro Boomin. OVO and XO’s beef took center stage after years of speculation and rumored tension, and The Boy clapped back with some bars for his Canadian rivals on his “Push Ups” and “Family Matters” disses. For what it’s worth, the “Gasoline” superstar didn’t really respond much to any of this drama besides his subliminal shots on “All To Myself.”

Elsewhere in the crowd, other notable names that popped out at Kendrick Lamar’s show included NBA superstars like James Harden and LeBron James. In fact, DeMar DeRozan (who caught a lyrical nod from Kendrick on “Not Like Us” for leaving the Toronto Raptors) and Russell Westbrook went onstage to dance to this diss track and rep their Los Angeles roots. Some of these guests and invitees were expected; others were complete surprises. All in all, it made for a pretty grand moment to witness.

Meanwhile, a lot of folks are now wondering what Drake must think of all these folks who went to Kendrick Lamar’s show. Maybe he’s not that surprised at The Weeknd’s appearance, or doesn’t really care altogether that much. Either way, there are probably still some more names that we’ll see attached to this event that will emerge in the coming days. Fans of these artists can only hope that The Idol creative’s attendance means that there’s another Ken collab in the cards.

LeBron James Spotted In The Crowd At Kendrick Lamar’s “Pop Out” Concert

June 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

LeBron James is one of the biggest superstars in Los Angeles, regardless of domain. Overall, he has been spotted at numerous concerts in the city throughout the years. Having said that, it should come as no surprise that LeBron would show up to what could be one of the biggest concerts in the history of hip-hop. Tonight, Kendrick Lamar’s “Pop Out” show is currently taking place at the KIA Forum. Some massive acts have already performed and LeBron has been taking it all in.

Below, you can see a photo of LeBron James in the crowd, with a big smile on his face. Overall, he has every reason to smile. During the first part of the show, we got smaller West Coast acts who lit up the stage. Remble started things off and eventually, we even got Tommy The Clown who is a Los Angeles staple. From there, Mustard popped out and we got performances from Roddy Ricch, YG, Tyler, The Creator, and even Steve Lacy.

At the time of writing this, Kendrick has yet to perform. However, everyone knows that his set is going to blow the roof off of the building. He is likely to perform songs from his beef with Drake, and fans could not be any more excited. There are plenty of other stars in the building right now. For instance, Rick Ross and James Harden are currently sitting together. It just goes to show that hip-hop fans are treating this like their own holy place.
