May 3, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Following fashion’s largest event of the year, the annual Met Gala, PLAYBOY, the globally renowned, iconic lifestyle brand, teamed up with Cardi B to co-host The Boom Boom After Party.

The after-party featured dancers dressed in the traditional Playboy Bunny costume, which was produced nearly seven decades ago and is now housed at The Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, in commemoration of the Met Gala 2022 theme “In America: An Anthology of Fashion.” The initial outfits debuted at The Playboy Club in 1960, and were created by commissioned artists, including Zelda Wynn Valdes, a Black American fashion designer. Other art institutes across the country, notably the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History, have more Playboy Bunny outfits. The Playboy Bunny outfit was the first service uniform to be registered with the US Patent and Trademark Office in the 1960s (USPTO).

Cardi B became the Playboy family’s first creative director in residence in December of 2021. Cardi’s responsibilities include artistic direction for co-branded fashion and sexual wellness merchandise collections, as well as digital editorial, experiential activations, and other projects. She’s also the Founding Creative Director and a founding member of CENTERFOLD, Playboy’s creator-led platform. In addition to Cardi B, party attendees included Billie Eilish, Awkwafina, Dove Cameron, Jared Leto, Sebastian Stan and Donatella Versace, among many others.

May 3, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Quavo assists single moms with a $150,000 donation to the Tender Foundation.

Migos’ Quavo and apparel brand, Legends presented their 2022 annual Huncho Day celebrity charity football games last Saturday April 30, at FCF Campus at Pullman Yards. Cam Newton, Quavo, Offset, 2 Chainz, Tyreek Hill, Mecole Hardman, Richie LeCounte, and more suited up.
The games streamed live with play-by-play commentary courtesy of Greg Mescall and Ryan Shazier.

Huncho Day remains close to Quavo’s heart. “This is my favorite day of the year. There’s nothing better than getting together with friends and family and playing a little ball for the community.”

The “Flip The Switch” rapper played quarterback in high school and has found a way to give back to the youth in Atlanta. This year, Quavo upped the ante and donated $150,000 to the Tender Foundation in support of single moms.

Jaycina Almond, Founder of Tender Foundation said, “At Tender, we’re bridging the financial gap and providing a safety net for single moms living on the margins here in Atlanta. Our core programming consists of emergency bill pay assistance with rent, utilities, and childcare; providing Grocery store gift cards and operating a diaper bank. Now, with Quavo’s help, we’re able to pilot a new initiative called The Bridge.”

The Bridge is a guaranteed income program founded on the premise that every mother deserves the opportunity to parent without the stress of survival. The Bridge is a step toward establishing equity and disrupting generational poverty for Black women and their families.
