Burna Boy Brings Out Toni Braxton In Atlanta

by

Burna Boy surprised fans at his concert in Atlanta with a guest appearance from music legend Toni Braxton. Burna and Braxton proceeded to perform the former’s hit “Last Last” together as the crowd went wild. Furthermore, fans noted that Braxton was seemingly very eager to grind up on Burna. “Guess it’s been on her bucket list for years,” one fan joked.

Of course, “Last Last” samples Braxton’s 2000 hit “He Wasn’t Man Enough”. “Last Last” peaked at No. 44 on the Billboard Hot 100 but topped several genre charts. “He Wasn’t Man Enough” peaked at No. 2 and landed at No. 10 on the Year-End chart for 2000. Burna has never been afraid to sample classic R&B. He included a Brandy sample on his track “Sittin’ On Top Of The World” last year.

Burna Boy Gifts Jada Kingdom A Birkin Bag

Furthermore, it’s clear that Burna has got that rizz. Last year, While remixing “Talibans” with Byron Messia in a video shared online, Burna hijacked a verse that references Kingdom. The original lyric is “Member me born Kingston/ They love party, forget love drink rum/ AK shake like a Jada Kingdom.” Instead, Burna sang “The best pum pum deh a Kingston, so mi buy a Birkin fi Jada Kingdom.” Now of course, this isn’t any throwaway gift – a Birkin can cost anywhere between $10,000 and $40,000.

Furthermore, Kingdom appeared to confirm the gift on TikTok account. However, she has yet to openly confirm whether she and Burna are in fact an item. Despite this, Kingdom has been spotted wearing Burna’s Damini chain as well as touring with him in Europe. Many fans believe that Burna was partying in Jamaica explicitly because of Kingdom. Of course, Burna often makes the headlines for his relationships. Whether it’s his situation with Kingdom or te fallout of his breakup with Stefflon Don, Burna’s music is often secondary to the drama.

by

Nicki Minaj has shown love to Tyga after the rapper joined her in Vegas for the Pink Friday 2 tour. Tyga, who would later tweet out a clip from the show with the caption “Gag City”, was a surprise to fans at the T-Mobile Arena in Vegas.

However, it’s not the only thing fans want out of the tour. After just three shows, the Barbz are demanding a “cinematic experience” like Taylor Swift and Beyonce produced last year. “I hope there will be movie experience of this tour! 😍 visuals are top tier and @NICKIMINAJ looks amazing 💖,” one popular fan account on X wrote. As mentioned, Minaj has only hit up Oakland, Denver, and Las Vegas so far on the 57-stop tour. Her next concert is on Sunday in Seattle. The tour runs until July 14, when Minaj will close out with a performance at the Les Ardentes Festival in Belgium.

Nicki Minaj Shows Love To Chris Brown, Fans Want To See Him On Pink Friday 2 Tour

Elsewhere, Minaj had nothing but love when responding to a video of Chris Brown playing “FTCU” for one of his dancers at a recent concert. “This is so very appreciated. Wow. 🫶🏽,” Minaj wrote on X, formerly Twitter. As a result, many fans began to implore Minaj to bring out Brown during stops on her upcoming Pink Friday 2 tour. Nicki’s 53-stop tour of North America and Europe began on March 1 in Oakland. At the time of writing, the only confirmed guest act is Monica, who will open all non-festival shows on the North American leg.

Minaj and Brown have seven collaborations together. Their partnership dates back over a decade to “Right By My Side” in 2012. Their most recent collab was Brown’s “Wobble Up”, also featuring G-Eazy, in 2019. Furthermore, their best charting was the Young Money track “Only”, which went triple platinum and peaked at No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100. However, their best-performing collab with no other featuring artists was Brown’s 2013 “Love You More”, which peaked at No. 23.

Quavo Joins Popcaan At Unruly Fest In Jamaica

by

Quavo made a surprise appearance at Unruly Fest in Jamaica, stepping out with Popcaan for the latter’s set. The crowd was understandably overjoyed to see the former Migos rapper step out. However, not everyone was a fan of the appearance. “American artists always go to Jamaica and dress like it’s Independence Day 😂😂😂 , but big up unnu self 🙌❤ 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲,” one person said on Instagram.

However, things got a little too unruly at Unruly Fest as the cops pulled the plug on the festival early, citing safety concerns. According to senior police officers, they had let the show run on a hour longer than the festival’s permit. However, Popcaan, who also organizes Unruly Fest, had some harsh words for the cops. In a statement about the abrupt shut down, Popcaan said that things like shut were the reason that St. Thomas “couldn’t do better”.

Quavo Steps Out For Surprise NYC Concert

Quavo has been making plenty of surprise appearances this year. He drew a massive crowd in the center of New York City as the former Migos rapper pulled up for an impromptu concert. The Atlanta rapper is in the Big Apple for New York Fashion Week but decided to make some headlines away from the runways. In a clip uploaded to social media, Quavo could be heard performing “Hotel Lobby” to the assembled crowd. Furthermore, the concert appears to come courtesy of SideTalk NYC, the viral “one-minute street interview” show.

Fans were overjoyed by the surprise concert. Additionally, many were surprised (and excited) to see that True Religion, Quavo’s fashion line, may be making a return. “If you stopped wearing Tru because rappers did you corny 😂😂😂,” one person said. “Damn… true religion back??? I just roasted a Walmart worker for ….. nvm… Go crazy,” added another. However, some people pointed out the double standard that Quavo could do this and be fine but Kai Cenat was arrested for “the same thing”. On this note – the Quavo concert was probably planned, while the Cenat giveaway was not. Meanwhile, people were not fully rioting at Quavo’s concert.

Travis Scott Invites 41 To Perform “Bent” At MSG, Shows Time-Lapse Of Stage-Building

by

Travis Scott’s Circus Maximus tour has been a wildly successful affair so far, with a lot of interplay between him and his fans. For example, he recently revealed to Jimmy Fallon that he played “FE!N” ten times straight at a recent show because his fans were just giving him so much energy that he had to reciprocate. With that in mind, La Flame is always down for some hometown love. He knows that, if he’s performing in Madison Square Garden, New York will be just as excited as he is for Brooklyn’s next wave. Moreover, the Houston artist brought out the trio 41 for a special performance of their hit “Bent,” which comprises of rappers Kyle Richh, Jenn Carter, and Tata.

Furthermore, the trio is really on the rise right now, with some viral attention and big cosigns. In fact, Fivio Foreign recently enlisted them for a steamy new drill and Jersey club-fusing single, “Get Deady (Offa Pill).” “Bent,” though, is quite the banger as well, and you can tell just how excited they and Travis Scott were to share the stage and usher in an exciting era of their career. Surely they’ll have a big 2024 to capitalize on, and we hope that there are more genre fusions to come from these groups.

Travis Scott Invites 41 To His MSG Concert

In addition, the UTOPIA superstar also recently shared a time-lapse video of what it takes to build his stage for this tour. Seeing these behind-the-scenes clips of the magic is always incredibly interesting, especially when it’s comprised of unique visual set-ups and spacing when compared to the crowd organization. Travis Scott’s Circus Maximus tour certainly fits that bill, with a stage that looks more like a patch of land than a solid surface for an artist to perform on. Nevertheless, that’s part of the charm of this trek, and yet another instance of him knowing how to bring something to life.

Circus Maximus Stage Set-Up: Watch Time-Lapse

Meanwhile, although this tour faced some unfortunate delays, it seems like it recovered and continued its success, hopefully into the new year. With that in mind, what other special guests would you like to see the “MODERN JAM” hitmaker bring out next? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments section down below. Also, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and more updates on Travis Scott and 41.

Travis Scott Teases “JackBoys 2,” Brings Out 21 Savage In Atlanta

by

Travis Scott has hinted that he is working on JackBoys 2. While signing autographs for fans, one asked Scott about the rumored projects. “It’s in the works!” Scott shouted back, leading to much excitement. Of course, Scott has already released Utopia this year but it seems that he’s already back on the production wagon. The original JackBoys album came out in 2019 and hit No. 1 on the Billboard Album 200. Fans have been clamoring for a follow-up ever since.

Elsewhere, it also appeared that 21 Savage has made a swift return to the US after his European tour. Savage appeared in Atlanta alongside Scott to perform “TOPIA Twins”, their collab from Utopia. Scott made a few stand-in appearances for Savage during the “It’s All A Blur” Tour before Savage acquired his green card. They had previously performed the song in the US earlier this year. However, the reception was equally electric this time around.

21 Savage Honored By Arsenal FC

As for Savage, as mentioned he just finished up his first-ever European tour. As part of that, the British-born rapper received a warm welcome at Arsenal FC. Arsenal presented Savage with a custom #21 Savage jersey. The #21 jersey is currently worn by Fábio Vieira, who joined the Gunners from Porto in 2022. After the game, Savage also linked up with Emil Smith Rowe, Arsenal’s 23-year-old midfielder. Also following the game, the Emirates Stadium made sure to play Savage’s bar from “Circo Loco” about the team winning the Premier League.

Savage couldn’t have picked a better game to attend. Arsenal dismantled French side Lens, scoring six goals to officially win their Champions League group. However, Arsenal have one more match in the group stage. The Gunners travel to the Netherlands to face second-place PSV in mid-December. Furthermore, Arsenal sits two points clear at the top of the Premier League. The Gunner did their part, beating Wolves 2-1. However, they were helped out by Manchester City drawing 3-3 with Spurs to widen the gap at the top of the table.

Doja Cat To Be The Newest Guest On Hot Ones

by

Doja Cat, for better or worse, has been a hot topic over the past few months. We say better or worse because there is a huge divide on where people stand on the California artist’s latest regime. If you have not been keeping up with Doja, she has been going through a change in her mindset, as well as her appearance and behavior online. She got into it with some fans on Twitter about not loving her fans. The artist responded by saying that she does not really know them, therefore she cannot display those strong emotions.

It continues from there, with her new hairdo and posts on Instagram. She has a buzz cut and the things she is uploading have been left field. Lots of random imagery and talk about the devil and demons has been a common theme. Because of all of this, many are upset with how she is changing. This could be the reason why her latest record, Scarlet, which addresses a lot of these topics, saw a slightly disappointing first week of sales. However, her music seems to resonate with quite a few people still. Her hit “Paint The Town Red” continues to dominate the charts and was the first rap song to go number one this year.

Doja Cat’s Interview Should Be Interesting

All of this and more should be discussed in her episode of the hot-wing eating show, Hot Ones. Hosted by Sean Evans, Uproxx shared that it will premiere on October 12, which is this Thursday. Doja is also fresh off of her performance at the VMAs a few weeks ago, so there is more than enough to delve into. We are sure that there will be plenty of ensuing storylines from this sit-down.

What are your initial thoughts on Doja Cat being the next guest of Hot Ones? Do you think this will be one of the biggest interviews the show has ever had? How do you believe the interview will go? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest breaking news around Doja Cat, as well as the rest of the pop culture world.

Meek Mill Makes Guest Appearance At Lil Baby Show In Philly

by

Meek Mill is a Philly legend. Born in South Philly but growing up in North Philly, Meek Mill overcame childhood shyness to become one of the most influential voices in rap. His three albums have all peaked in the top three, with Dreams Worth More Than Money and Championships both peaking at #1. While he hasn’t released anything since 2021, he remains one of the most acclaimed rappers of his era.

That said, there’s no way an artist could to Philly and not have Meek Mill step out with them. And that’s exactly what Lil Baby did. Hitting up the City of Brotherly Love as part of his It’s Only Us Tour, Lil Baby made sure to add the hometown legend to the lineup. MEEK X WHAM ITS ONLY US TOUR 1 time for @lilbaby and 4PF 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤘🏾 room was shakinggg!,” Meek wrote on Instagram as he shared clips on the crowd going absolutely wild.

Meek Mill Gives Jadakiss His Flowers

However, Meek wasn’t just receiving flowers, he was also giving them. Specifically, he shouted out Jadakiss for “guiding” him as an up-and-coming rapper. “This why Kiss was my favorite rapper,” he wrote in the post. “I felt like he was guiding me as a lost kid!” Meek wrote while sharing his old mugshot while Jada’s “Blood Pressure” played.

Elsewhere, Meek got real about the predatory role of the record labels in today’s music landscape. “It’s almost to a point where we going to aim artist and their entourage towards the ones taking out money and leading us to bad business decisions,” he began. “F*ck these labels they operating without consequences in the biggest scheme to date.” The rapper goes on, “IF YOU LETTING LABELS TAKE YOUR MONEY HOW YOU BEEFING WITH N***AS IN THE HOOD OVER NOTHING.” He then explains, “Yes I own 100% of my masters and pub as we speak! We catch y’all stealing we in the streets with it.”

Don Toliver Surprised By Travis Scott During LA Show

by

Travis Scott made a surprise appearance at a Don Toliver show in LA this weekend. In fact, it was so much of a surprise appearance that it appeared to be a surprise to Toliver himself. While Toliver was dancing on top of a diner set, Scott can be seen dancing his way onto the set as well. He continues to dance behind Toliver before Toliver turns around and spots Scott. Toliver then proceeded to greet Scott excitedly before the two began to perform together. It’s very clear from his reaction that Toliver was not expecting Scott to come out.

Of course, Travis Scott has been kind of everywhere recently. While performing at Wireless Fest in London, he brought out Sexyy Red, who performed her song “SkeeYee” alongside him in a red cropped hoodie and black leggings. After the event, the pair were seen DJing at the exclusive London nightclub, Tape. Now he’s gone from having the guest appearances to being the guest appearance. However, there is something definitely iconic about being so much of a guest appearance that the headliner doesn’t even know you’re coming.

A post shared by Our Generation Music (@ourgenerationmusic)

Of course, Travis Scott is currently a very busy man. Alongside the constant teasing and promotion of Utopia, Scott is currently doing the festival set circuit. He has primarily spent the last few weeks in Europe before he performs at Rolling Loud in Miami later this month. So far, Scott has given a fan the clothes off his back while performing in Dublin. Also in Ireland, Scott performed “Aye”, his track on Lil Uzi Vert’s The Pink Tape for the first time.

Elsewhere, he has teased a new collab with Michael Jordan, said that Utopia will have five separate album covers, and given away more shoes while in Germany. Furthermore, Scott’s next major festival stop, Rolling Loud, will reportedly feature tracks from Utopia on the setlist. As a reminder, Utopia is still not out. However, as mentioned, it appears to be coming sometime at the end of July.

Travis Scott Brings Out Sexyy Red During Wireless Fest Set

Travis Scott is currently a very busy man. Alongside the constant teasing and promotion of Utopia, Scott is currently doing the festival set circuit. He has primarily spent the last few weeks in Europe before he performs at Rolling Loud in Miami later this month. So far, Scott has given a fan the clothes off his back while performing in Dublin. Also in Ireland, Scott performed “Aye”, his track on Lil Uzi Vert’s The Pink Tape for the first time.

However, Scott most recently found himself at Wireless Festival in England. First held in 2005, Wireless is a staple of the British festival circuit. Wireless has been held in several venues across London and England but appears to have settled on Finsbury Park in North London. Beyond Scott, the lineup for the 2023 festival was absolutely stacked. Friday saw Playboi Carti, Ice Spice, Latto, Lil Uzi Vert, Metro Boomin, and Yeat to name a few. Saturday had Lil Yachty, FLO, and Mariah the Scientist. Furthermore, the show will close out on July 9 with 50 Cent, Lil Durk, GloRilla, and Popcaan.

Scott Surprises Fans With Sexyy Red

However, Scott didn’t perform his July 8 set entirely alone. At one point in the proceedings, he brought out Sexyy Red, who performed alongside him in a red cropped hoodie and black leggings. Red is currently enjoying a meteoric rise to stardom. She earned major industry attention for her track “Pound Town”, which was later remixed by Nicki Minaj. That remix, dubbed “Pound Town 2”, peaked at #66 on the Billboard Hot 100. She followed that with her second mixtape, Hottest Hood Princess.

Red performed “Pound Town” and “SkeeYee” while getting major hype from Scott. However, it’s unclear wherever there is anything more to this guest appearance. It’s very possible that Scott was simply giving some airtime to an up-and-coming star. However, could this be a backdoor teaser for a feature on Utopia? After all, Utopia will have some features. The Weeknd reportedly appears on the album, although that’s about all we know at the moment. Would you want to see Sexyy Red on Utopia? Let us know in the comments.

Usher Pulls April Fool’s Joke On Dreamville Fest By Teasing Beyoncé Guest Appearance

by

On the most dangerous day to trust headlines online, a headlining act had some fun with thousands of adoring fans. Usher just trolled Dreamville Fest during his set with an April Fool’s joke, claiming that he was about to bring out Beyoncé to perform. Of course, fans went ballistic when they heard the R&B singer say her name, but it clearly dawned on them that something was wrong when Usher looked back confused at his festival staff. After walking around the stage for a bit, beckoning for someone to come up, he stepped to the mic and crooned, “April Fool’s.”

Hilariously enough, it wasn’t the only prank scare that rocked the North Carolina event, although the other instance proved to be truthful (unless A.I.-generated content has really gone too far). Lil Durk said that he’s been collaborating with J. Cole during a sit-down interview at Dreamville Fest. When initial reports of the news came out, fans expressed skepticism until Internet sleuths posted the clip in question. As such, fans now anticipate a hard-hitting product from the two revered hip-hop storytellers.

Usher’s April Fool’s Prank Leaves Beyoncé Fans Fuming

Furthermore, the Confessions artist went on a bit of a hot streak promotionally recently thanks to a few factors. First, there’s his sultry and immaculate Las Vegas residency, during which he serenaded a fan with an intimate performance. To elaborate, he went into a crowd and danced with a fan as he fed her strawberries. Given his status as the “King of R&B” and the smoothness of his music, no one can deny it was quite the remarkable experience for a fan to get. Still, it’s not uncommon for Usher to engage with fans during his performances in a sweet and evocative way, and still gives a show for all to remember.

Meanwhile, he recently released the single “GLU,” which is a classic, buttery, and passionate R&B cut. With that, he fought back against common takes that the genre is “dead,” showing fans and detractors alike that he’s still got it. Apart from that prank, it seems like people were blown away by the sheer amount of hits that the 44-year-old played for fans at Dreamville Fest during his great performance. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Usher and this weekend’s Dreamville Fest.
