Snoop Dogg Stops By Conor McGregor’s Dublin Pub

by

Snoop Dogg paid a visit to the Black Forge Inn, the pub owned by Conor McGregor, during his recent trip to Ireland. Snoop linked up with McGregor and his mom the day before he performed in the Irish capital. “Snoop with my mom, happy as hell. Welcome to @theblackforgeinn, Snoop! Good luck with the sold out show tomorrow night!” McGregor wrote on Instagram. The accompanying pictures showed Snoop meeting fans, enjoying a steak and chips, and posing with McGregor’s UFC belt. Snoop also shared a photo of him posing with McGregor.

The trip was less eventful than Snoop’s last international outing. A few weeks ago, Snoop inadvertently recognized Armenian sovereignty over the disputed state of Artsakh. “My beloved Armenian people. I am thinking of you and sending love to all Armenian people in Armenia, Artsakh and around the wor[l]d. I’m bringing love and peace and wishing everyone strength. Im coming, September 23rd!!!!!!” Snoop wrote on Instagram. Artsakh is claimed by both Armenia and Azerbaijan and the current site of a major international incident.

Snoop Praises Barbie

Back in the US, Snoop recently gave a glowing review for Barbie, the smash-hit comedy blockbuster. “Just got back from seeing Barbie. That shit was funny as a muthafucka. Me and my wife was in there laughing like a muthafucka. And you do know that!” Snoop said on his Instagram earlier this month.

Barbie has been an absolute smash hit, becoming the highest-grossing film of 2023 at over $1.4 billion. It has also become the highest-grossing film by a solo female director, Warner Bro’s highest-grossing release, and the 14th highest-grossing film in history. Furthermore, it is also now the highest-grossing live-action comedy of all time. It surpassed Home Alone for the domestic US title and The Hangover Part II for the global title. The film only really struggled in markets like South Korea and Japan. This was due to factors such as the film’s feminist message, the lack of Barbie’s cultural presence, and backlash to the Barbieheimer trend.

Festival season is in full swing across the world, with many of our favourite artists flocking to stages in North America and Europe to entertain thousands. Dublin, Ireland has been a hot spot this weekend, with some of the biggest names in hip-hop, EDM, and other genres taking over the two-day Longitude Festival in Marlay Park. On Saturday (July 1), Calvin Harris was the headlining artist, with Jazzy, Raye, Anne-Marie, Ice Spice and MK among those taking the stage before him.

Isis Gaston went all out during her set, even with ut being scheduled early on in the day. She later commemorated her Irish debut with a sultry photo dump on Instagram that markedly leaves her bodacious behind on display beneath her denim mini skirt. As HotPress reports, Spice’s DJ helped get the audience’s energy up before she confidently sashayed on stage to perform one of her biggest hits, “Princess Diana.”

Ice Spice Goes International

Later this week, the 23-year-old will be taking to the stage once again. On Thursday (July 6) you can catch her at Stavernfestivalen, and the next day, she’ll likely be twerking up a storm during her set at Wireless in Finsbury Park. It’s been approximately one year since Spice’s sudden skyrocket into fame began and so far, the feats we’ve seen her achieve have been incredibly inspiring to both admirers and contemporaries.

She has yet to give us her debut studio album, but still, Ice Spice has kept fans satisfied with a string of singles since her Like..? EP back in January. The most recent, “Barbie World,” marks the rising star’s second time collaborating with Nicki Minaj. Interestingly, Margot Robbie recently revealed that it was her guidance that lead Barbie director Greta Gerwig to include the Aqua-sampling song on the soundtrack. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Travis Scott Gives Fan “Utopia” Merch And His Shoes At Dublin Show

by

Travis Scott has made a big deal about the release of his upcoming album, Utopia. For months now, he’s been carrying around a briefcase handcuffed to his wrist. Furthermore, he’s teased fans with images such as a recreation of the iconic Abbey Road album cover. We still don’t know exactly when Utopia is dropping, though new billboards in LA suggest that it could be July 21. However, if nothing else, Scott certainly knows how to build hype.

However, before Utopia drops, Scott is making a plethora of appearances. Prior to Rolling Loud in late July, Scott is appearing at Rolling Loud Portugal and Wireless. Furthermore, Scott kicked off the month in Dublin, Ireland with a couple of shows at Longitude Festival. It’s here that Scott had a very memorable encounter with a musically-inclined fan.

During his set at Longitude, Scott could up close and personal with the throbbing mass of fans at the barricade. Picking out on fan in particular, Scott began to rap back and forth with the fan, who eagerly responded. The back-and-forth continued, with Scott getting more and more hyped up about the interaction. When the verse ended, Scott pulled off his shirt, an unreleased Utopia merch item, as well as his Air Jordans. Fighting back the sea of grabbing hands, Scott handed the items to the fan he had rapped with.

In the comments of the video, which was reshared by No Jumper, many people joked about the fate of the fan. “Bro did not leave with those shoes 😭,” remarked one person, with another adding “yeah he getting robbed.” Meanwhile, someone else mused that Scott “Should’ve gave bro a guard too 😂.” However, we hope the fan made it out unrobbed and is enjoying what is likely the most unique concert experience of his life.
