Beyonce Delivers Inspirational Message After Receiving Innovator Award From IHeartRadio, Shows Love To Stevie Wonder, Jay-Z, & More

by

Beyonce gave the Beyhive her eagerly-awaited sequel to RENAISSANCE this past weekend, COWBOY CARTER. The R&B icon’s full foray into country music has already been a smashing success. According to AllHipHop, Spotify confirmed that it was the “most-streamed album in a single day in 2024 so far.” Additionally, “This is also the first time a country album holds the title this year.” Surely, the album will go number one as fans and most critics are loving it so far. While breaking records, the album is already winning her awards. According to HipHopDX, Beyonce took home the Innovator Award at the iHeartRadio Award show last night.

It was reported about a week ago that she would be receiving this prestigious accolade and now its officially in her hands. Stevie Wonder, who had credits on COWBOY CARTER, fittingly presented Beyonce with the award. In her black and gold cowboy get-up, Bey gave an impassioned acceptance speech in which she thanked a lot of “innovators” and subtly threw shade at some critics. Outside of thanking her husband Jay-Z, Andre 3000, Stevie, Rosetta Tharp, Tracy Chapman, Prince, Michael Jackson, and more, the highlight was the first half of her speech.

Beyonce Gives Her Innovator Award Speech

Beyonce starts by saying, “Innovation starts with a dream, but then you have to execute that dream and that road can be very bumpy. Being an innovator is saying what everyone believes is impossible.” She continued, “Being an innovator often means being criticized, which often will test your mental strength.” Then, Bey low-key went in on the people not believing in her. “So, to all the record labels, every radio station, every award show, my hope is that we’re more open to the joy and liberation that comes from enjoying art, with no preconceived notions.”

What are your thoughts on Beyonce winning the Innovator Award at the iHeartRadio Awards? How do you feel about her acceptance speech and what she mentioned in it? Is COWBOY CARTER going to be the album of the year for 2024, why or why not? Do you think critics are right to be attacking the album like this? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Boosie Badazz Hip-Hop 50 Grammys Performance Has Him Feeling Grateful

by

A lot has changed for Boosie Badazz since his return home from prison in 2014. While the “Wipe Me Down” hitmaker is certainly happy to have his freedom reinstated, there’s been a longing in his heart to return to the stage. Of course, Boosie has given plenty of “regular” performances, but what he’s actually been craving is a slot during one of the music industry’s many annual award shows. As hip-hop celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, the embattled star was able to make his dreams come true thanks to the Grammys.

As AllHipHop reports, on Sunday (December 10), CBS aired their two-hour “A GRAMMY Salute To 50 Years Of Hip-Hop” celebration, which was previously filmed in November. Boosie was just one of many entertainers who graced the stage with his presence, and now that the world has finally seen his performance, he can’t stop gushing about it on social media. “THANKS TO THE GRAMMYS FOR FINALLY GIVING ME A CHANCE TO PERFORM AT AWARDS SHOW SINCE I BEEN HOME FROM PRISON!! #imgrateful,” he tweeted yesterday.

Other legends who were a part of the Questlove-organized show include Big Daddy Kane, Bun B, Common, Nelly, Queen Latifah, and Rakim. As for newcomers, names like Coi Leray, Gunna, Roddy Ricch, and Latto were all on deck to prove they can keep up with their predecessors. Boosie may not have won a trophy from the Grammys yet, but he’s still grateful to see rap getting the recognition it deserves from the public.

Despite the chaos following him for the past few months, Boosie Badazz seems to be in good spirits as 2023 comes to a close. Not only has he made a solid impression on hip-hop heads with his Hip-Hop 50 Grammys performance, but we’ve also seen the Louisana native making big strides in the dating world.

Jada Pinkett Smith Shares Family Pictures With Will Smith For Thanksgiving

by

The Smith family, particularly its famous parents Will and Jada Pinkett, have been at the center of much gossip these days. Some of it relates to her own reflections on her husband, and other elements attack the two of them separately for different scandals. Still, through it all, they always have an amazing time together as a family and show each other all the love, support, and care in the world. Moreover, Jada Pinkett Smith recently posted some Thanksgiving pictures of the family, including their sons Trey and Jaden and their daughter Willow, plus some other family members and friends.

Furthermore, this comes amid the Baltimore native’s response to critics of her new memoir Worthy, which some targeted as being too exploitative or disrespectful to her own family’s privacy. Particularly, she took aim at Ana Navarro, who told The View of her distaste for it. “Well, I think if she took time to read the book, you know?” Jada Pinkett Smith remarked. “I think that, if you wanna just read headlines, I could see how that could be confusing. But the book is right here.” In addition, she said that even though everyone has “a right to their opinions,” “anybody who’s saying that hasn’t really done their homework.”

On the other hand, Jada Pinkett Smith recently came to the defense of Will Smith amid multiple scandalous claims made about their romantic life. One example is his former friend Brother Bilaal claiming that he caught the actor and Duane Martin having intercourse, and another relates to Jada’s alleged fling with Marc Anthony amid their marriages. While this last one came and went without much of a buzz, the Smiths might end up pursuing legal actions for the Duane Martin story. With time, we’ll see whether that manifests.

Meanwhile, this family gathering comes after various reports that the kids felt bad for their dad amid their mom’s revelations about him. Still, nothing emerged that suggested that there was any friction between the family in this regard. If nothing else, these pictures are a wholesome reminder that they’re still a unit against a storm. For more news and the latest updates on Jada Pinkett and Will Smith, log back into HNHH.

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

The Grammy-nominated artist took a few moments to show her appreciation to her black female fanbase for believing in her. “I just wanted to thank black women, specifically. But, before anyone who had bought my albums or thought I was cute and I had anything on Billboard, black women came to my shows.” She continues, “They stood up for me from the jump, they connected with me and I’m so, so grateful to be black and amongst family.” Interestingly, some fans loved her speech while others thought it was a bit strange. One person goes, “If a white woman said this all hell would break loose 💀” Regardless of all the debate, it is great to see SZA continue to flourish and our continued support goes out to her!

Kai Cenat Wants To Speak On Nicki Minaj’s “Queen Radio” After Twitch Ban

by

Nicki Minaj is perhaps best known for getting into heated blowouts with enemies on social media. Still, the Queen of Rap is also known to give out flowers to those who deserve it too. Earlier this month, she did just that to streamer Kai Cenat, who was unfortunately banned on Twitch for “stimulated sexual activity” while playing GTA RP during one of his shows, something that others have faced similar punishment for in the past. While it’s certainly frustrating for one of the platform’s biggest names to be unable to create content for his fans, it helped him get the attention of Minaj, who’s expressed interest in working with him.

“I’m gonna get cute. I’m gonna dress up nice and cute and I’m gonna go on Live with him,” she told listeners on Queen Radio recently. “And speak to him if that’s cool with him. Let me reach out to him and stuff because I really like him. I really like him a lot.” Elsewhere in her broadcast, Minaj publicly pleaded with Twitch to remove Cenat’s ban, which was finally lifted earlier this week.

Kai Cenat Thanks Nicki Minaj for Speaking Out Amid Twitch Ban

Now that the 21-year-old is back doing what he loves, he took a moment to respond to the “Super Freaky Girl” hitmaker’s kind words and request to collaborate. “Auntie Nicki, I see what you said,” he exclaimed during one of his first shows back on the air. “Nicki Minaj said, ‘Why would y’all do that to that boy? Why would y’all ban him?’ She said she gotta get all nice and cute to come on a stream, but Twitch, hold on! This is chess, not checkers. Should I give y’all a big stream like that?” Cenat openly pondered.

“Should I let the Queen come on y’all platform? I’ll go to Queen Radio! If I’m invited, if they want to do anything,” he quietly added. “I’ll just talk to her, one-on-one, audio only.” Would you tune into a Nicki Minaj and Kai Cenat live stream?
