January 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Megan Thee Stallion appeared on the stacked lineup for Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve over the weekend, where the Houston rapper treated the crowd (and viewers at home) to a blend of her hit songs.

She and the backup dancers were all in purple, as the performance started shortly after midnight in New York. “Y’all ready to turn up?” Megan asked the crowd.

During the medley, Megan played her song “Savage,” a track from 2020’s Good News (“Body”), “Her” from 2022’s Traumazine, and even her newest single, “Cobra.” The choreography didn’t miss a beat, as the dancers all matched Meg’s moves. Some of the clips, also show some of the crowd, who are also bopping along while wearing a bunch of festive hats and other accessories.

Although some of the acts were broadcasting performances from other parts of the world, Megan welcomed 2024 live from Times Square. Others who joined her in NYC included Tyla, Sabrina Carpenter, Jelly Roll, and many more.

As for what to expect from Meg in the new year, she previously confirmed that she’s been working on a new album (as of March 2023), so hopefully, fans get to hear it soon.

December 29, 2021 by newhiphopnews

The recent surge of Covid-19 cases in America due to the Omicron variant has led to a string of cancellations and adjustments. First, Saturday Night Live canceled Charli XCX’s scheduled appearance, and then The Strokes canceled their New Year’s Eve performance, followed quickly by The Flaming Lips postponing their shows. Although those three were just precautions, another New Year’s Eve cancelation from rap legend LL Cool J is due to the artist testing positive for the virus.

Deadline reported that LL Cool J will no longer perform at Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve With Ryan Seacrest and shared a statement from the rapper, who had an optimistic outlook, despite his current status. “I know it’s disappointing to the millions of fans but my test came back positive for COVID, which means I’ll no longer be able to perform as scheduled at NYRE,” he said in a statement. “We were ready and I was really looking forward to ringing in 2022 in my hometown in a special way, but for now I wish everyone a healthy and happy New Year. The best is yet to come!”

LL was schedule for a pre-midnight set in Times Square, but that will have to wait until another year.
