Ice Spice Hilariously Responds To Taylor Swift Collab Boos At Rolling Loud

by

Ice Spice has dealt with haters throughout her entire career, and not even seeing them right up in their faces can make her fold under pressure. Moreover, she recently performed at Rolling Loud Europe in Vienna over the weekend, and was probably surprised when people started booing her and showing her thumbs down signs when she played her Taylor Swift collab, “Karma.” The Bronx femcee chose to simply blow a kiss in the displeased crowd’s direction as a reaction to all this, simply letting them know that she isn’t here for the hate. It’s a pretty innocuous and awkward moment overall, but one that she handled as quickly as she could have.

However, this isn’t the only reason why Ice Spice’s recent live shows have been the subject of some interesting, albeit ridiculously salacious, discussions online. For example, fans recently debated whether she’s tired of constantly twerking as part of her image based on her facial expressions while throwing it back during a recent set. We don’t know how a facial expression necessarily converts to annoyance, especially when it’s part of a planned performance and it’s been such a common part of the routine so far. Ritualistic fatigue is a very real thing, but to equate it to a dance seems a bit overboard.

Ice Spice Blows Off Booing Fans At Rolling Loud Europe

Nevertheless, we’re sure that Ice Spice will continue to defend “Karma” to either live crowds or Internet haters, as she built quite the close bond with Taylor Swift. They created a lot of big moments as of late, whether it was their sonic team-up or their outings with Travis Kelce and company. Either way, the Swifties are such a large group that we’re sure the “Princess Diana” MC will always have an army behind her. Still, many of them presumably and sadly don’t go to many rap festivals, so it will be hard for them to do so in a live setting.

Meanwhile, there are also some new dating rumors surrounding Ice Spice thanks to her multiple outings with Central Cee. With all this in mind, there seem to be endless angles to talk about when it comes to her current career moves, especially with the new album Y2K coming soon. So we’ll see what future concerts and festival sets look like, and whether “Karma” will make the setlist. Sometimes, it’s important to read the room.

Saweetie Faces Chaos As Fight Breaks Out During Her Festival Set

by

Saweetie may be hot off the presses of her new single “NANi,” but the fiery track isn’t enough to distract some rowdy fans at her shows. Moreover, she recently performed at the Vegandale festival, and footage emerged of the crowd storming away from the stage after a fight broke out. In fact, you can hear the Icy Girl provide her best efforts to calm folks down and check in with the rest to make sure that they’re safe, but it seems like things escalated far too quickly for her to mitigate the situation. It’s unclear whether her set continued or if this resulted in an early cut.

Furthermore, this is far from the toughest circumstances that Saweetie’s had to face in her career, as she recently spoke on her difficult come-up before the fame. Fortunately, it seems like this has been a pretty fruitful year so far in this career, with fresh new singles and a whole lot of social media hype. At press time, she still hasn’t responded to this Vegandale incident, but we also don’t know how clear she or her team is on the matter to be able to respond. After all, there are probably a lot of important items on the docket.

Saweetie Set At Vegandale Disperses Due To Crowd Fight

But not all of Saweetie’s headlines this year have been in-house, as she found herself in the middle of one of 2024’s numerous rap beefs. For those unaware, Quavo and Chris Brown battled earlier this year, including claims that she cheated on the former Migo with Breezy while they were still together. The Los Angeles native seemed to dismiss most of this, although she hit Quay with some shade amid his efforts to reach out again. It all seems pretty complicated, but she’s not breaking a sweat over it.

Meanwhile, Saweetie’s most recent interview held more interesting insights into her mentality, trajectory, and next moves. Hopefully future performances don’t fall victim to combative folks in the crowd again, but it’s obviously hard to arrange for this. After all, she and her team are just one part of the multi-faceted organism that is live music. But props are in order for trying to keep things civil and fun.

Method Man Criticizes The Crowd At Summer Jam, Claims He’s Never Coming Back

by

Over the weekend Hot 97’s annual Summer Jam took place. The festival looked to combine rap stars both new and old with an impressive roster of performers. Doja Cat, Ty Dolla $ign, Sexyy Red, Fivio Foreign, French Montana and many more served as the contemporary stars of the festival. While Method Man & Redman, Eric B & Rakim, EPMD, and Jadakiss delivered old school flavors. But the crowd was apparently much more in tune with some of the newer artists around, which didn’t sit well with one particular performer.

Method Man took to Instagram following his performance to criticize the less than stellar reception he felt from the crowd. In a comment he claimed that the festival was “not our crowd.” After thanking the city of New York and some of the other performers he doubled down on his sentiments. “Never again.. at this point the generation gap is just too wide for me.. #nevercomingback” his comment concludes. In the comments, many fans come to the defense of the two rap legends. Some blame the fans themselves for their underwhelming reception. Others blame Summer Jam for placing the pair alongside a roster of artists they don’t necessarily go with. Check out the post and some fan reactions to it below.

Method Man Calls Out Summer Jam Crowd

This isn’t even the first controversy to spark from this year’s edition of Summer Jam. The original line-up poster included Offset as one of the headliners. But in a later announcement expanding the lineup of the festival he was unceremoniously swept off the list, with no explanation for his disappearance given. That was in addition to fans initial underwhelmed reaction from the original lineup announcement.

What do you think of Method Man’s post about the crowd at Summer Jam not being as into his performance as he had hoped? Do you think the festival did him wrong by placing him alongside artists that likely have very different fanbases than him? Let us know in the comment section below.

Rick Ross Draws Huge Crowd To Car Show, Debuts “Slippery Soap” Car Detailing Line

by

Rick Ross just hosted his third annual car show at his Georgia estate, drawing a crowd of over 12,000 people and including performers like Quavo, Boosie, Bun B, and many more. Overall, it seems like it was an incredibly successful affair, especially as the Biggest Boss took the opportunity to launch his new “Slippery Soap” car detailing line. Moreover, it includes ceramic spray wax, interior cleaning, quick cleaning, and many more services that were a big part of this automobile extravaganza. Of course, there’s a lot of social media coverage of this, so check out Rozay’s pages and hit up a quick Twitter search if you want to see more clips in addition to those further down below.

With great cooperation with Fayette County and South Fulton, culinary offerings, and a smooth handling of traffic and safety, Rick Ross’ third annual car show seems like it went pretty hard. However, he’s got a lot of other stuff to handle as well, namely some long-running and recent developments in his rap beefs. 50 Cent recently trolled the Mississippi native with some of his questionable lyrics amid the Diddy scandal, and Ross responded with some more scathing shots. That rivalry is one of rap’s long-standing artistic institutions at this point, with seemingly no end in sight.

Elsewhere, Rick Ross is pretty much doing his thing: living lavish, doing some social media trolling, raising fans’ eyebrows with his PDA with his new girlfriend… Wait, what was that last part? His relationship with partner Paige Imani got some social media flack recently for perhaps moving a little too fast after his split from Cristina Mackey a couple of months ago. Maybe fans are just exaggerating, but it is a pretty curious speed.

Rick Ross & More Perform At His Car Show

Meanwhile, we’ll see what else comes of Rick Ross’ car show as fans are starting to walk away from his beef with The Game. It seems like, if anything, that will just be another social media spat more than anything else. Even though the Los Angels MC tried to meet him on wax, it seems like Ross doesn’t want a direct confrontation. But who knows, maybe there’s still more gas in the tank.

Ari Lennox Reflects On Rod Wave Tour Treatment: “This Is Not My Crowd”

by

Ari Lennox recently reflected on her experience opening on the Rod Wave Nostalgia Tour, admitting that she could never find her groove. While discussing the tour on social media, over the weekend, she explained that it was not the right crowd for her. Most notably, an angry fan threw a bottle at Lennox during a concert in Los Angeles in November.

“I was never comfortable,” she began, “I just remember every show, just racing to get off stage, racing to get through my set. I started trying to communicate with the audience and then I realized they were getting angry at me affirming them. You’re getting angry that I’m affirming you? This is not my crowd. And it’ll never be. And that’s alright. It was tough and it was heavy on my soul, especially the day when the bottle happened because that side of the stage, like, I felt the energy … It was just all darkness — that was literally the energy that was coming from the left side.”

Lennox continued: “I was on that stage and would people would have sh*t on their screens saying ‘next,’ and I can’t deal with sh*t like that. I’ll curse you out … What is this aggression? You’re that pissed? It was a lot for two and a half months, like, getting my wardrobe stolen. It was just a very hard two and a half f*cking months. Very lonely too. But I thought it would be a good idea.” Check out her full comments on the tour below, as noted by Complex.

During the November incident, Lennox went on a fiery rant on stage in response to the bottle thrower. “I will f*ck y’all sh*t all the way the f*ck up! Don’t you ever disrespect a beautiful Black woman on the stage like that!” she yelled at the time. Eventually, her mic cut out and a security guard escorted her backstage.

Dubai’s well-established concert venue, accustomed to hosting A-list performers, experienced a surge of excitement as Gunna made his entrance. He actually had two shows, one at the coca-cola arena on Saturday and another on Sunday at the Blu Oasis resort. The anticipation in the air was thick, and as he kicked off “Fukumean,” the atmosphere exploded with infectious energy. The venue consisted of a lively vibe as fans were immersed in Gunna’s musical world.

The show wasn’t just about the auditory experience, it was a big moment for Gunna. He’s taking his talents around the globe after dealing with a hectic year involving the YSL rico case.

Doja Cat Warns White People To “Watch Their Mouths” During Concert: Watch

by

Doja Cat is currently killing it on her Scarlet tour across the United States, which has brought us no shortage of great, wild, and notable moments. Most recently, she prefaced her performance of the track “Ain’t S**t” with a bit of a warning to the Caucasian people in the crowd. “Watch your mouth if you’re white,” the rapper and singer expressed right before she broke into the chorus, which contains the use of the N-word. Of course, this is notable given her own controversial experience with racism accusations, but nonetheless a cheeky way to address a prevailing issue with white people’s consumption of hip-hop in social settings.

Furthermore, it’s exactly the kind of aloof acknowledgement of it that we’d expect from Doja Cat. Her charisma and character on stage are quite infectious to witness, especially as her repertoire and range of performances increases. For example, promoters announced the Los Angeles native as a headliner for Portugal’s Rock In Rio Lisbon festival. With these and many more exciting shows down the line, we’re sure that she will only continue to establish herself as a dominant stage presence and as a must-see live act.

However, it’s not like the 28-year-old doesn’t hold herself to these high standards, too. In fact, she’s always trying to improve and give the best effort she can to loyal fans. “I’m so f***in sorry,” Doja Cat wrote in an Instagram Story shortly after a show, one that apparently she disliked enough with to apologize for. “New Jersey I don’t know what the f**k that was. I’m really not happy with my energy tonight.”

It’s unclear what the reason behind this disappointment is, but fans were pretty receptive to this overall. Meanwhile, rumors swirled earlier this week that she turned down a spot on Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2. Whether that’s true or not, we’re sure that the future will hold plenty more amazing features to make up for this potential missed opportunity. For more news and the latest updates on Doja Cat, stick around on HNHH.

Tyler The Creator Rips Fans For Booing Drake At Camp Flog Gnaw Back In 2019

by

Tyler The Creator has a unique fanbase. Overall, this fanbase has taken a lot of flack over the years. Sometimes, this has been warranted and other times it is just a case of bullying. However, if one thing remains true, it is that there is a sour taste left in people’s mouths from what went down in 2019. For those who need a reminder, Tyler brought out Drake during Camp Flog Gnaw. Drizzy was the surprise guest and fans did not like it at all. They booed him incessantly and it was an embarrassing display.

Although Drake tried to play it cool afterward, many noted how rude it was for Tyler’s fans to do that. Even Tyler had some words for his fans back in 2019, saying “I thought bringing one of the biggest artist on the fucking planet to a music festival was fire… all jokes aside sh*t lowkey funny.” Over the weekend, Camp Flog Gnaw made its grand return, and Tyler made sure to make mention of the infamous blunder.

In the video clip above, you can see Tyler The Creator performing the song “Lumberjack.” There is a line in which Tyler says “I hit Drizzy and told him I had a milli’ for him.” However, this time around, he made sure to change the lyric to: “I called Drizzy and you booed him last time.” He then proceeded to call his crowd “assh*les” before everyone, including Tyler, bursted into laughs. Needless to say, it is good to see everyone having a fine sense of humor about what happened.

Lil Kim Tosses Her Underwear Into The Crowd At Recent Performance

by

Sukihana wasn’t the only surprise that Lil Kim had for the crowd at the ONE MusicFest in Atlanta, Georgia on Saturday (October 28). Moreover, those towards the front of the crowd got quite the show when she removed her panties mid-set and then launched them into the crowd. Of course, this elicited a lot of cheers and wildly shocked reactions for the legendary femcee from festival-goers in the moment. However, once it was time for social media to catch up to the occurrence, people were less than enthused or appreciative when it came to this “gift.” Many folks saw this as too nasty, too corny or performative, a straight-up health code violation, or something you could press charges for.

On the other hand, there were also plenty of people who took it as an entertainingly bizarre and fun moment, or defended Lil Kim against the aforementioned critics. “She had on pants,” one fan clarified. “They were over her pants. Y’all too old. This not her first time doing this at her concerts. That’s like y’all saying why the brat pull her pants down on stage. bc that’s wat she does.”

Lil Kim Throws Her Panties To The Crowd: Watch

Regardless of this interpretation, it was still a little too much for people to stomach online, for the most part. Sure, they had plenty of hilarious jokes about it, but no one really seemed to see this as anything less than a bit over the top, at best. In addition, a lot of people either used or called out the double standards when it comes to what other female rappers these days can do, and what Lil Kim can’t. Still, we’re sure that no matter what happens during these shows, she will keep doing concerts as she wants. It’s not like all of them are that raunchy, either; the New York artist recently performed at a WNBA Finals game to great and non-controversial success.

Meanwhile, what’s your take on all this? Do you think this is the kind of antic that will show up in her upcoming biopic or are people just blowing this out of proportion? In any case, let us know in the comments section down below. For more news and the latest updates on Lil Kim, check back in with HNHH.

Kendrick Lamar Performs For Enthusiastic Crowd In Japan

by

It seems like every time this rapper steps out to perform, the results are absolutely electric for fans. Moreover, Kendrick Lamar recently hit up a stage in Japan, and though he was on the other side of the world from his home of Compton, he still captivated the audience. A clip recently went viral of the Mr. Morale MC performing his hit “N95,” and the whole crowd sang along perfectly to the sung intro before he even started rapping. What was once a slew of singing voices turned into a mix of people spitting his bars back at him and people cheering as he started to rap.

Furthermore, when the beat dropped, the stage lit up behind the pgLang creative, and viewers went wild for it. What’s more is that many of them didn’t stop reciting all the lines back to Kendrick Lamar as he went through the track. Sure, that’s something you see at a lot of rap shows, so the excitement on display is nothing new. Still, few artists can get a stadium or festival crowd screaming and rapping as loudly and passionately as the West Coast legend.

Kendrick Lamar’s Recent Japan Show

If you haven’t seen him perform live yet, don’t fret; performance moments from his tours and shows go viral quite often. As such, you’ve probably seen your fair share of clips, and if you’re going to Tyler, The Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival this year, you’ll get to witness it for yourself. Kendrick Lamar and Baby Keem will deliver a joint set as The Hillbillies, with other big names like SZA, Ice Spice, Lil Yachty, and Clipse hitting the festival, too. Of course, this is a big opportunity for the 36-year-old to create something unique and special with his cousin.

Meanwhile, with over a year passing since the release of his last album, many wonder where the former TDE artist will go next. Maybe he’ll slow down his music releases in favor of something grander, or he’ll keep dropping top-tier hip-hop. In any case, there will never be a crowd that isn’t energized and awe-struck by his live presence. For more news and the latest updates on Kendrick Lamar, stick around on HNHH.
