Atlanta, you have gone too far. A spa in the ATL offers Hennessy pedicures, and the brand is concerned.
Hitting social media, Hennessy retweeted a video of a woman at Buckhead Signature Nails, whose feet were being bathed in the cognac. The video was captioned, “So we doing Hennessy pedicures now?”
Henny responded quickly and distubingly: “We hope not!?”
If that wasn’t enough, Henny doubled back with a video from Why Did I Get Married Too. You can see it below.
Hennessy suggested Megan Thee Stallion use their own metal straw to drink their product after she went viral, earlier this week, for using plastic straw to sip straight from the bottle. Megan had been celebrating the success of her new single, “Hiss.”
“If we go number one, bitch, I might put the straw back in the fifth of Hennessy, bitch. I might have to go back,” she told fans last week. When that came true, she made good on her word and hopped on a live stream to celebrate.

Fans of Megan can join her in the celebration, as she recently announced that she’ll be going on tour this year in support of a new album that’s almost ready. “Oh, we’re having the tour this year,” Meg told Good Morning America. “The Hot Girl Summer Tour is gonna be 2024 summertime. I feel like I’ve never been able to be outside doing my own thing during the summer, since like 2019. So this is gonna be the first time that I drop an album on time for the summer. I do wanna give the Hotties the Megan Thee Stallion experience.” Check out Hennessy’s post for Megan below.
As for “Hiss,” the song has been making countless headlines for sparking a feud with Nicki Minaj. In the lyrics, Megan makes a dig at the rapper’s husband, Kenneth Petty, for being a registered sex offender. Nicki fired back with a diss track of her own titled, “Big Foot.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Megan Thee Stallion as well as Nicki Minaj on HotNewHipHop.

Check out the adorable photo dump below.
Cardi B recently had an intense viral spat with fans on Twitter. After previewing some new music fans in her comments questioned her work ethic, something she didn’t take kindly to. It’s been five years since Cardi released her debut album Invasion Of Privacy and she’s already confirmed that a follow-up won’t be arriving in 2023.
In fact, now fans aren’t sure if one is arriving at all. Subsequently, after making repeated threats and ill wishes towards her haters online Cardi made an announcement. She claimed that the album wasn’t coming at all anymore because of the interactions she was having with seemingly entitled fans. Many are hoping that was nothing more than a heat of the moment threat and that she actually will have some new music on the way eventually. What do you think of Cardi B and Hennessey’s new photo dump on Instagram? Let us know in the comment section below.

Nas hopped on Instagram today (July 21), showing off a new collaboration he has with Hennessy. The French cognac producer is now offering a limited-edition “HenNASsy,” in celebration of the 50th anniversary of hip hop. The hitmaker shared a photo of himself sporting a sharp white suit and holding a glass of the spirit, noting that the collab also conveniently works to celebrate his own 50th birthday.
“In 2023, Hennessy V.S marks a unique cultural milestone, celebrating a half-century of Hip Hop with one of the genre’s most prolific talents, Nas. A long-term friend of Hennessy, the multi-hyphenate, multi-platinum, Grammy Award winning rapper and artist captures the movement and the moment in a vibrant limited edition cognac,” a message on Hennessy’s website reads.
Nas also just premiered his latest album with Hit-Boy today, Magic 2. The sequel to 2021’s Magic features 21 Savage and 50 Cent. The artist teased the album for a short time prior to dropping it, with fans correctly guessing that it’d be a sequel. On the new album, Nas name-drops Hennessy on his track “Pistols On Your Album Cover,” revealing that he actually put 2Pac onto it. “I remember I put 2Pac onto that Henny. Howard University, Howard Homecoming, D.C. He’s like, ‘What’s this?’ He drank that sh*t though, word,” he says. He also goes on to give the late artist’s father, who passed away earlier this month, a shoutout. Mutulu Shakur died at the age of 72 following a battle with cancer.
In a recent interview with XXL, 50 Cent also reflected on his first time meeting his collaborator. He revealed that he quickly realized Nas was smarter than what he had previously thought based on his songs. “[Nas] was ahead of us,” he explained. “What he had, and I was looking at it going, ‘You gotta be careful’ because he was smarter than the music he was releasing… He was smarter than things he was saying on the records,” Fif continued.
As one of the greatest rappers to ever touch a microphone, it’s no surprise that Nas is showing out for the genre’s 50th anniversary. However, those tributes might come in unexpected ways that display the MC’s business acumen. Moreover, he and Hennessy are teaming up for a limited edition bottle with a “never-before-seen” “HenNASsy” logo for the occasion. Of course, for those familiar with the New York legend’s business moves and partnerships, this shouldn’t be news to you. After all, the two have been partners for over a decade, with him becoming a brand ambassador back in 2020.
In addition to the liquor itself, the company also produced a film to accompany the release narrated by Nas, set to be shown on July 20, the bottle’s release date. The 49-year-old also collaborated with Bronx photographer Renell Medrano for his contributions, further honoring the city that birthed rap music. In previews of the film, the rapper not only showcases the new bottle with detail, but also talks about why he loves the art form of hip-hop so much. According to the press release, this collaboration will “showcase the breadth and depth of hip-hop culture.”
What’s more is that this isn’t the only move that Hennessy made to celebrate rap’s 50 years in music. Furthermore, they will also launch “Hennessy AI.bum covers,” which uses artificial intelligence that converts selfies to unique album covers inspired by the genre’s eras. It’s part of the iconic cognac brand’s Rep Yours campaign, aiming to inspire “fans to show what hip-hop means to them through an immersive digital expression.” Even though AI is quite the controversial topic these days, this seems like a more wholesome use of the technology, and Nas’ cosign makes it all the more meaningful, especially as new music is on the horizon.
“It means a lot to me to celebrate this legendary moment in hip-hop history with Hennessy, a brand that has supported me for over 10 years,” the rapper stated. “Hennessy is part of our culture and continues to inspire generations of hip-hop fans, so I’m really proud to share our new Limited Edition bottle with the world.” Meanwhile, he also called the genre “the vibration of the people” in another Instagram post about the collab. For more news and the latest updates on Nas, keep checking in with HNHH.
Arguably the most name-dropped spirit in hip hop music—Hennessy is joining Nas to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Hip Hop. The two iconic forces have come together to recreate the high-end taste, smoothness and quality they are known for worldwide. Recognizing the culture, and as a symbolic toast to the next 50, Hennessy is releasing a Limited-Edition Hennessy V.S bottle, designed in partnership with the legendary Queens MC— Nas.
