Kanye West Shows Off New Vultures Logo Which Is Either A Nod To Albania Or Something More Sinister

December 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West is someone who has been embroiled in a ton of controversy over the last few years. Overall, last year was particularly bad for him, albeit self-inflicted. He went on numerous right-wing talk shows and spouted Nazi talking points. Although people like Alex Jones even called him out for Hitler worship, Ye continued to act deranged. Eventually, he went away for a while, and now, he is spending his time overseas, working on a new album with the likes of Ty Dolla $ign.

In fact, Ye dropped a song with Ty Dolla $ign, simply called “Vultures.” The song hasn’t had much staying power, however, some fans quite enjoyed it. Now, it appears as though the song has its very own merch. In the Instagram post below, a fan could be seen engaging with Ye out in public. The artist could be seen wearing a logo that said “Vultures” and it included the depiction of a double-headed eagle. As HipHopDX pointed out, this could have been a nod to Drake who wore something kind of like this in the “Polar Opposites” video.

Of course, this is also the logo on the flag of Albania. That said, there is also a pretty sinister interpretation here. The two-headed eagle was used by Nazi Germany as its coat of arms back in the day. Given Kanye’s love of Nazi imagery and ideology, it is easy to see why someone would jump to this conclusion first. Ye has not been deserving of the benefit of the doubt, but at the end of the day, we could be wrong. Perhaps it is just an image that he likes and that he feels fits the style of the song. Who knows at this point?

Let us know what you think of this new logo, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will always be sure to keep you informed on all of your favorite aritsts.

Franz Wagner Net Worth 2023: What Is The NBA Star Worth?

October 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Franz Wagner, the 21-year-old NBA sensation, has been making waves in the basketball world. As of 2023, his net worth is estimated to be around $5 million US dollars, according to Media Referee, a figure that reflects his growing prominence in the sport. But how did Wagner achieve this impressive net worth in such a short span of time? Let’s delve into his journey.

Born in Berlin, Germany, on August 27, 2001, Wagner’s passion for basketball was evident from a young age. He began his professional journey with Alba Berlin in the Basketball Bundesliga. By 2019, he had already made a mark by winning the title of BBL’s Best German Young Player. His talent also shone in international competitions. When he represented Germany’s youth national teams, he clinched a gold medal at the 2018 Albert Schweitzer Tournament.

Wagner’s talent was not limited to European shores. He moved to the United States to play for the University of Michigan from 2019 to 2021. Despite facing challenges like a wrist injury in 2019, he bounced back and later named to the 2020 Big Ten All-Freshman Team. His performance during his second year was particularly noteworthy, with 14 double-figure games and 4 games where he scored more than 20 points.

NBA Journey

Wagner’s NBA journey began when he was drafted by the Orlando Magic as the 8th overall pick in 2021. His debut season was nothing short of spectacular. Furthermore, he earned the title of NBA Eastern Conference Rookie of the Month for December and even made it to the NBA All-Rookie First Team. Such achievements in a debut season are a testament to his skill and dedication to the game.

Contract And Salary

Wagner’s financial success can be attributed to his lucrative contract with the Orlando Magic. He signed a 4-year deal worth $22 million, with a guaranteed amount of $10,266,120. This contract ensures he receives an average annual salary of $5,695,483. With such earnings and potential for more in the future, it’s no wonder his net worth has seen a significant boost.

Personal Life And Endorsements

While Wagner has been quite private about his personal life, it’s known that he was born and raised in Germany. Currently, he seems to be focused solely on his basketball career. Moreover, as of 2023, there haven’t been any reports of him securing major brand deals or endorsements. However, given his rising popularity and impressive on-court performances, it’s only a matter of time before brands take notice.

Conclusion

Franz Wagner’s journey from Berlin to the NBA has been nothing short of inspiring. Moreover, his dedication, skill, and passion for the game have earned him a spot among the emerging stars of basketball. With a net worth of around $5 million as of 2023 and a promising career ahead, Wagner is undoubtedly a name to watch out for in the coming years.

Bianca Censori Accompanies Kanye West In See-Through Fit To Art Gallery In Germany

September 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It seems like a change of European scenery isn’t enough to draw Kanye West and his wife Bianca Censori away from their controversial style choices. Moreover, the couple recently hit up an art gallery in Germany, and the Yeezy architectural designer decided to show off her body more than most once again. Censori wore a see-through nude-colored bodysuit, and new pictures and videos show them strutting along the building. On the other hand, the Chicago artist kept things as simple as usual (well… not so usual) in an all-black fit. We’ll see if their fashion antics land them in any more hot water with national authorities, as happened in Italy.

Furthermore, Bianca Censori and Kanye West actually ruffled feathers in the country for multiple reasons. First were Censori and Ye’s bold and often NSFW outfits, which citizens and local officials found too revealing and inappropriate. In addition, authorities also banned them from a local water taxi company for allegedly engaging in oral sex during one of their boat rides. Maybe Germany won’t be as strict about these kinds of things, although given that nation’s history, that would only further point to the rapper’s antisemitic fallout in people’s minds.

Kanye West & Bianca Censori In Los Angeles

Of course, those statements and such a combative rhetoric resulted in the Yeezy mogul’s fall from public favor and financial grace. However, people still express interest in him, and he pops up with other celebrities, big names, and with big plans these days. For example, rumors swirled (for the umpteenth time) that Kanye West is working on a new album around Europe. It’s unclear whether this Germany visit relates to that at all, or it if’s a simple leisure hop.

Meanwhile, this probably won’t be the last time that this couple turns head without even opening the mouths. In fact, it’ll likely be the most that we hear from them until either makes a big move in the public eye, whenever that rolls around. On that note, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Kanye West, Bianca Censori, and these revealing fits.

USA And Canada Stunned In FIBA World Cup Semifinals

September 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Neither the US or Canada, two of the hottest teams in the FIBA World Cup this year, will contest the final on Sunday. Canada, led by a phenomenal Shai Gilgeous-Alexander fell to a Serbian team that didn’t even have Nikola Jokić. The Serbs beat Canada 95-86, with Bogdan Bogdanović putting up a team-high 23 points. “It doesn’t matter who’s not here,” Serbia’s Marko Gudurić said. “It’s all about this group of guys, whoever is here, whoever is wearing this Serbian jersey. We never give up. We fight until the end. It’s in our blood.”

Meanwhile, the US were favorites against Germany. The German side might have been white-hot, but their nail-biting win against Lithuania in the quarterfinals showed how much they had been relying on Dennis Schröder. Schröder had 17 points, but it was his teammates who helped push Germany past the Americans. Bayern Munich’s Andreas Obst had 24 points while the Pacers’ Daniel Theis had 21 and the Magic’s Franz Wagner had 22. Anthony Edwards had another great performance for the US. However, he was just one of four American players to reach double-digit points.

US And Canada Must Settle For Bronze Medal Match

“These games are difficult. This is not 1992 anymore. Players are better all over the world, teams are better and it’s not easy to win a World Cup or an Olympic game.”

While both teams still secured the consolation prize of Olympic qualification, a bronze medal match finish will be bitterly disappointing. As mentioned, both teams were seen as gold medal favorites at this World Cup. Canada especially finally seemed to be taking advantage of the nation’s golden generation of stars. Meanwhile, while many slammed the US as being a B or C team roster, they were widely expected to run through a German team with just four active NBA players.

The US played a physically small roster all tournament but in their two losses, Lithuania in the second group stage and Germany in the semis, that decision was painfully exposed. As the Olympics roll around next year, Steve Kerr may want to rethink his team strategy. Furthermore, the exit of both major North American teams really gives credence and validation of Noah Lyles’ outage that the NBA champions are dubbed the “World Champions of Basketball”.

Germany “Speechless” After Shocking Women’s World Cup Exit

August 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

For the first time in the history of the Women’s World Cup, Germany will not participate in the knockout stage. Their group stage came to an end with a 1-1 draw with South Korea. The result would have been enough to see them through to the Round of 16. However, Morocco took a 1-0 win over Colombia to leapfrog Germany in the standings. Germany had begun the group with a 6-0 thrashing of Morocco but suffered a stoppage-time 2-1 loss to Colombia. Furthermore, despite entering as the favorites against an all-but-eliminated South Korea, Germany found themselves trailing after just six minutes. It’s yet another crushing blow for the second-ranked team in the world.

“We are all very speechless,” German midfielder Lena Oberdorf said. “Things didn’t quite click. We didn’t really show the combination we can show and we can play.” Outside of their 6-0 destruction of Morocco, Germany scored just two goals in the tournament, both from team leader Alexandra Popp. Popp nearly scored a 74th-minute header but hit the bar. Furthermore, head coach Martina Voss-Tecklenburg chose to wait until the 85th minute to tell her team that they needed to score another goal to avoid elimination.

World Top Ten Struggles At The World Cup

Germany is one of three teams ranked in the FIFA top ten to exit the World Cup in the group stage. Canada missed the knockouts for the first time since 2011 after suffering a 4-0 loss to Australia in their must-win final match. Meanwhile, Brazil was held to a goalless draw by Jamaica, giving As Canarinhas their first group stage exit since 1995. But even the teams that made it through didn’t do so especially cleanly.

The United States, the two-time defending champions, came five inches from elimination in their final group-stage match against Portugal. Had Ana Capeta’s 91st-minute shot not hit the post, Portugal would have progressed over the US. Sweden needed an injury time goal to beat South Africa. England needed a do-over on a penalty to beat Haiti. France were held to a goalless draw by Jamaica. Meanwhile, Spain were beaten 4-0 by Japan. Elsewhere, Australia was all-but-eliminated before their 4-0 drubbing of Canada. The ninth-ranked Netherlands arguably had the cleanest group stage of any team in the top ten. The question is – will this chaos carry into the knockouts?
