Quavo Donates $150,000 In Support of Single Moms

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.

Along with Future releasing the deluxe version I Never Liked You, he also dropped merchandise that goes with it. The merchandise is a DONDA collaboration that includes multiple hoodies, a pair of socks, a long-sleeve T-shirt, a balaclava, hats, and an eye mask. The collection will only be available until midnight ET this Thursday (May 5).

So far, Pluto is on pace to have his seven consecutive No.1 album. He’s projected 175-200k album-equivalent units, but the expanded edition will undoubtedly increase that number overall. First-week projections indicate that the record will confidently land at the No. 1 spot and would be the biggest debut of 2022. When he first dropped the album, it went No. 1 on Apple Music in nearly 60 countries, including the United Kingdom, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand, and Australia.

Blac Chyna Loses $100M Defamation Case Against The Kardashian-Jenners

May 3, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Rolling Stone reports that after ten hours of deliberations, Blac Chyna lost her $100 million defamation case against the Kardashian clan just days after her case against Kim Kardashian was dropped.

Chyna filed her case against the Kardashians back in 2017 when she claimed the family made defamatory remarks about her and conspired to get her and Rob Kardashian’s reality show canceled. The trial lasted several weeks, with Kylie Jenner taking the stand and testifying about Chyna’s violent tendencies towards her brother.

Chyna denied the accusations, even alleged she was playing when a situation was brought up about her wrapping a phone cord around Rob’s neck and pointing a gun at his head. Tokyo Toni, Blac Chyna’s mother, was thrown out of the courtroom for her statements about the Kardashian family. Kris, Khloe, Kim, Kylie, Rob, and Kris’s boyfriend, Corey Gamble, testified during the trial.

Ultimately, the jury decided to rule in favor of the Kardashian-Jenners, and Blac Chyna will not receive any damages due to the case.

May 3, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Justin Bieber has announced the final North American date of his sold-out Justice World Tour, which will be held on July 3rd at the KIA Forum in Los Angeles. Ticketmaster will begin selling tickets for the Forum event on July 3rd at 10 a.m. PT on Friday, May 6th.

Justin linked up with director Cole Bennett for his new song +video “Honest,” which features Don Toliver, which was released last week. “Honest” is Justin’s first official single since “Ghost,” the anthemic conclusion to the multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated Justice, hit #1 at pop radio in January, giving him the most #1 hits by a male solo artist in US radio history and making him the only fifth artist to reach twenty Top 5 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. Justin’s eighth professional Hot 100 #1 single, “Stay” with Kid Laroi, made him the youngest solo artist ever to surpass 100 Hot 100 hits. Justin became the first male solo artist to start at #1 on both the Billboard 200 album chart and the Billboard Hot 100 singles list with his triple-platinum blockbuster “Peaches.”

The Justice World Tour kicks off in Mexico this month, then heads to Scandinavia for festival appearances in August; South America, South Africa, and the Middle East in September and October; and Australia and New Zealand in November and December, before heading to the United Kingdom and Europe in early 2023.

Justin’s Justice World Tour, presented by AEG Presents, is his first international tour since the ‘Purpose World Tour’ in 2016/2017. Bieber played to 2.7 million fans during the duration of his 2016-2017 tour, with 65,000 spectators attending the finale at London’s British Summer Time Hyde Park festival, according to The Times of London.

Saba Teases Collaboration with No I.D. After Receiving 120 Beats

May 3, 2022 by newhiphopnews

TN MS WW Ebro Saba 20220428 AUC Episode langen gb

Earlier this year, Saba dropped off his new album Few Good Things. The stellar effort brought in collaborations with G Herbo and Krayzie Bone. Now Saba has his eyes on another collaboration with No I.D.

Appearing on Apple Music 1 with Ebro Darden, Sabab talked about the Few Good Things album before revealing he received 120 beats from legendary producer No I.D. for a future project.

“So, when I got up with him, he told me he did 120. He was like, ‘A two-week span,’” Saba said. “‘I got 120. How many of them you want me to send you?’ And I was like, ‘Bro, I’m about to go on tour. Send me all 120.’ I didn’t expect him to actually do it, but he did it, and with the intent of just… I’m just having fun, mixtape style, just writing to as many of them… My goal is 10. I want to leave tour with 10, but I’m already at six, and we’ve been on tour for like a week, so I don’t know. We’ll see. We’ll see how many, but it’s definitely… It’s something to come.”

A collaboration between the two Chicago natives would be epic, Saba added that No I.D. was one of the first to hear the Few Good Things album:

I played the album for No I.D. before it was finalized. I’m just like, “Hey, these are the songs I’m working on. I’m about to finish it up. This is the album.” I had 10 records that I played for him, and he gave me some notes, and they was really solid…one thing that he pointed out, he was like, “You did all of the musical shit, but I’ve been to your show before, and you had motherfuckers out there moshing, doing all type of other crazy shit that you didn’t do yet on this album. You need to do that.” And to me, that was like just a oversight, where it was something I didn’t even think about. It was like some legend advice to me…But to me, the most important thing he said, he was like, “You need a new closer.” He was like, “If you play… When you tour this album, without these new records, you’re going to still be closing with the big song from your last album.” He was like, “You can’t do that.” And I was like, “That’s something I didn’t even think about.” And it was the best…it put the battery in my back and got me back to work, and I went home, and “Survivor’s Guilt” was the first beat that I made.
