Travis Scott’s Jam-Packed Brazil Concert Causes Earthquake

September 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Travis Scott and lit shows go together like peanut butter and jelly. If the show isn’t shaking the literal foundations of the earth, then it’s not one of his shows. We say that because once again, Travis Scott has caused an earthquake, according to reports from HipHopDX and Complex. This past Wednesday, La Flame was putting on a concert in São Paulo, Brazil, a city that’s seen plenty of activity lately. Over the last week or so, The Weeknd performed some of his upcoming album, Hurry Up Tomorrow, and then the NFL had its first-ever game in the famous locale.

Clearly, all of that excitement and energy was carried over into Scott’s event. As you can see below (in gorgeous overhead shots), it appears to be sold out. About 46,000 people were in attendance and when you have someone like him performing rager after rager, things are going to get buck wild. To no surprise, they did, as local news stations reported shaking that was actual visible to the naked eye.

If you remember, a similar thing happened in Rome last summer right around the release of UTOPIA. He stopped at the Circus Maximus stadium and there a 1.3 magnitude earthquake occurred. With all of this excitement still around his fourth studio album, Scott sees that fans are “FE!N[ing]” for more, which is why he’s back in album mode once again. We can only imagine that more ground-shaking shows on the horizon at this point.

What are your thoughts on Travis Scott causing another earthquake with his show in São Paulo, Brazil? Does this prove that he’s the best and biggest performer in music right now, why or why not? Do you think we are going to get another album from him within the next year? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

50 Cent Has More Jokes For Rick Ross Over Canada Brawl

July 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent is still joking about his longtime rival, Rick Ross, getting in an altercation in Canada, last week. Speaking with singer Keith Sweat and comedian Earthquake on Instagram Live, he continued to troll Ross about the situation. Ross had attempted to play Kendrick Lamar’s hit diss track, “Not Like Us,” which takes aim at Drake.

“You saw that sh*t that happened in Canada? Rick Ross got f*cked up,” 50 began while shadowboxing. From there, Earthquake added: “All his bodyguards need to resign, n***a. They failed the number one thing. They didn’t guard nobody’s body — including their own.” After sharing more laughs, 50 added: “I could do this muthaf*cka all day with y’all.”

When the clip made its way to X (formerly Twitter), fans had mixed responses to the way 50 is handling the situation. “Nobody wants to say it, but 50 is just as corny as Drake,” one user wrote. Another remarked: “Keith & Ross cool so this interesting …well they did a song together and so did Ross & drake ….so who knows anymore lol.” It isn’t the first time 50’s brought up the incident either. He also posted a skit recreating the brawl on Instagram. Check out 50’s full comments below.

Not all of the responses to the situation with Ross have been so facetious. Both Uncle Luke and Marlon Wayans condemned the beef between Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and Rick Ross in posts on social media. Luke, in particular, was upset with Drake for liking a post about the altercation online. Be on the lookout for further updates on 50 Cent and Rick Ross on HotNewHipHop.

April 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ice T joked that his “morning sex” was the cause of the 4.8 magnitude earthquake that struck the tri-state area on Friday. New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and even Pennsylvania felt the rumble of the earthquake around 10:20 AM, EST. Just a couple of hours later, Ice T hopped on Twitter to provide an explanation for the experience.

“ATTENTION That was Not an Earthquake in NJ,” he tweeted. “I just like to get a little Morning Sex now and then… Everyone relax and get back to normal. My fault.” Fans shared plenty of laughs in the replies section. One joked: “Calm down damn it. These aftershocks are scary.” Ice T wasn’t the only rapper with a sexual explanation for the earthquake. Ice Spice also wrote on Twitter: “My bad for the earthquake yall u kno this ass be clappin.”

Emergency alerts began going out after the earthquake warning of possible aftershocks. “Earthquakes in this region are uncommon but not unexpected,” Paul Earle, a seismologist for the USGS Earthquake Hazards Program told reporters at a press conference. “It’s likely people near the epicenter are going to feel aftershocks for this earthquake in the magnitude 2-3 range, and there’s a small chance there can be an earthquake as large or larger, following an earthquake like this“In terms of our operations this is a routine earthquake … Immediately we knew this would be of high interest and important to people who don’t feel earthquakes a lot.” CNN reports that there were at least 10 aftershocks following the initial quake.

Ice Spice Claims She Caused Earthquake In New York Due To “Clapping”

April 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

On Friday morning (April 5), the East Coast was hit with a 4.8 magnitude earthquake, with New York being a majorly affected area along with Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and more. Joining in on the wealth of wild reactions to this online, one particular Bronx native had an interesting theory and took responsibility for the natural event. “my bad for the earthquake yall u kno this a** be clappin,” Ice Spice tweeted much to fans’ amusement and desire Friday afternoon. This also comes just a couple of days after they already thirsted for her enough for her iHeart Radio Awards fit, and it’s clear that she likes to joke around and have fun about this lust.

However, that’s definitely not the only thing that folks are bringing Ice Spice up for these days, especially in the confined space of the rap game and competition between femcees. In fact, we just got beef rumors squashed concerning one of the ladies who many thought was the most likely to be one of her opponents: Cardi B. They shared pictures of them together pointing out that there are no issues between them, despite Spice’s loyalty to Cardi’s long-rumored rival Nicki Minaj. Turns out that rap beef isn’t as shady and loyalty-based as many folks online would have you believe.

Ice Spice Assumes Responsibility For New York Earthquake

In addition, Ice Spice and Cardi B came together based on their Dominican heritage, something that centered the latter’s most recent online spat. A feud with content creator Raymonte over whether or not she’s Black saw “Princess Diana” chiming in as they discussed this cultural and racial debate. It’s not one for anyone to make assumptions about, but is nevertheless something that has followed both artists for their whole careers up to this point. Still, Spice handled it with the same bluntness, grace, and sense of humor with which she saw this earthquake.

Meanwhile, we’re sure that the future will hold many more iconic online moments from her, as she always taps in with what’s happening. Most recently, the 24-year-old had an amazing appearance on Hot Ones that, unfortunately for her, was way out of her comfort zone. Do you think her career is trackable on a Richter scale or will it only get more Earth-shattering from here? Drop your thoughts in the comments and stay logged in for more news and updates on Ice Spice.

Earthquake Addresses Katt Williams’ Illiteracy Accusations On “The Breakfast Club”

January 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

At the beginning of this month, Katt Williams made waves with his viral appearance on Club Shay Shay. During the interview, he took aim at several of his peers, including Kevin Hart, Rickey Smiley, Cedric The Entertainer, and more. One fellow comic he mentioned was Earthquake, and he had mostly complimentary things to say about him. While he did note that Earthquake is undeniably funny, he accused the D.C. native of being illiterate.

“‘Why Earthquake not in movies?’ Cuz he’s illiterate,” Williams told Shannon Sharpe. “He can’t read. And they found that out when they gave him a show and then put the cards in front of him.” Later on in the interview, he praised him for his ability to make others laugh. “I don’t think anybody’s ever said Quake not funny. He’s probably never been booed, I don’t think. I don’t think he’s ever given a bad performance in his life.”

Earthquake Insists He Can Read

During a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club, Earthquake decided to clear things up. According to him, he appreciates Williams’ compliments, but can definitely read. He also notes that he’s proven this time and time again throughout his decades-long career. As for what Williams’ Club Shay Shay appearance did for Black comedy as a whole, Earthquake says nothing. “Comedy I don’t think [it did] anything, cuz there’s wasn’t no jokes in it,” he explained. “I’m in the joke-telling business, you know what I mean? So, it didn’t do anything I think for comedy.” He continued, describing how Williams’ apparent shade towards him came out of left field.

“Personally speaking, me and him was cool, so I didn’t know where that came from. Certain things he said about me, half was true half was a lie. But, to each his own,” he said. What do you think of Katt Williams accusing Earthquake of not knowing how to read during his viral Club Shay Shay appearance? What about Earthquake’s response? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Cardi B Has Hectic Reaction To Tropical Storm Hilary & Earthquake In Los Angeles

August 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The world is watching as Los Angeles, the greater Southern California area, and Mexico are reeling from unprecedented natural disasters. Moreover, a tropical storm, Hilary, weakened from a hurricane before it landed on Sunday (August 20), the first of its kind to hit the region in over 80 years. Amid flash flood warnings, heavy rain, and the cancellation of various events such as concerts in the affected areas, this made many worry about not just this event, but the effects of climate change as a whole. Not only that, but a magnitude 5.1 earthquake also hit these locations, centered in the city of Ojai.

Cardi B was one of many celebrities to react to this, and though she kept things light, many others expressed more concern and well-wishes. “That earthquake woke me the f**k up,” the rapper expressed in a short video uploaded to her social media. Fortunately, as of writing this article, it seems like these natural disasters haven’t caused a lot of significant damage, whether physical or life-threatening. Still, it’s a scary sight to see, and hopefully this lack of danger persists throughout the affected areas’ recovery.

Cardi B Reacts To California Earthquake Amid Tropical Storm

Of course, many people online turned this potentially disastrous development into a debate on its causes. While it’s still far too early to identify and meteorological factors at play here, natural disasters in California have often been tied to the impact of climate change. That conversation is unfortunately quite politicized and polarizing, as folks bicker over political implications rather than focusing on helping those in need. Many hope that this will not be a botched response like we’ve seen to other countries and states in regards to these events, and that the recovery process will be swift.

In the face of historic tragedies or near-tragedies like these, artists can use their platform to lend a supportive hand. Even though this seems to be manageable, the devastating potential impact of earthquakes and tropical storms needs no introduction. As such, we send our best wishes with the affected areas right now as they navigate what comes next. For more news and the latest updates on your favorite artists reckoning with the world around them, check back in with HNHH.

Travis Scott’s Milan Concert Causes Mini Earthquake

July 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Aside from Lil Uzi Vert’s recently released Pink Tape, Travis Scott’s UTOPIA is one of the most highly anticipated albums of 2023. The father of two has been dropping hints about his upcoming work for months now. He may have even hinted at a potential release date on a recent billboard. Even without any new music out, Scott has also been back on the festival circuit this year. Most recently, he made a trip overseas to perform at various events across Europe.

While headlining Longitude Festival in Dublin, Ireland, the Houston native brought his new collaboration with LUV, “Aye” to the stage for the first time. That obviously made headlines along with other Pink Tape promotional antics. However, what’s really got the world talking is Scott’s show in Milan, Italy. According to news reports, it impacted not only attendees but also Mother Earth in a very serious way.

As shown in the video on the last slide of the post above, Travis’ fans were so eager to see him back in action that a literal earthquake took place. “This ni**a different Thanos $cott,” one Instagram user wrote under @ourgenerationmusic’s post. “Firefighters [received] hundred of calls from the [neighbourhood], window and floor [trembling]. At the end, we’re Italian Travis fans,” someone else who was seemingly at the show shared in the comments.

Others were quick to compare the incident to the rapper’s deadly 2021 concert, which forced him to spend several months out of the spotlight as blame was thrown his way for the tragic crowd crush that unfolded. Speaking of Astroworld Festival, it was announced last month that Travis Scott could face criminal charges over the fatal catastrophic event. After some deliberation, however, a jury decided to clear the father of two of any wrongdoing. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
