Nicki Minaj Scraps ‘Pink Friday 2’ Deluxe Release, Announces ‘Pink Friday 3’ Is On The Way

Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2: Gag City Reloaded was initially scheduled to release on Sept. 13.

However, on Sunday (Sept. 15) night, the “Anaconda” hitmaker revealed that she’s ditching the deluxe completely for a new LP: Pink Friday 3.

China’s Rare Pass On Censorship Paved Way For Kanye Concert

image

We all saw Kanye West just made an unexpected return to China on Sunday. Dude performed in Haikou on Hainan Island for the first time in 16 years. Only Ye can perform in Haikou.

What’s interesting is the concert surprised many due to China’s strict regulations on foreign artists and West’s history of unpredictable and controversial behavior. Despite backlash over his past antisemitic comments, inflammatory statements about slavery, and his support for Donald Trump—which resulted in severed ties with fans and brands like Adidas—tickets for the show sold out rapidly, with over 42,000 tickets gone within minutes.

Get this, while it’s believed that West was given strict guidelines for his performance by the Chinese government, this has not been confirmed. It remains unclear why West was allowed to perform, especially given China’s current restrictions on Western entertainers under President Xi Jinping, which have led many high-profile acts to avoid the country. Artists such as Billie Eilish, Coldplay, and Taylor Swift have skipped China on their tours, while Justin Bieber and Lady Gaga are banned due to what the government considers controversial behavior.

What’s more is Ye’s concert received official approval from Chinese authorities, generating significant buzz on social media. Some speculate that China may be attempting to fill the void left by other international stars like Taylor Swift, while others view it as an effort to boost Hainan’s economy, which relies heavily on tourism. West even brought his children on stage during the concert, adding to the event’s allure.

Originally, West was scheduled to perform in Taiwan, but that show was canceled last month due to “unforeseen circumstances,” adding to the intrigue surrounding his performance in China amid ongoing political tensions.

Guess Ye gets a pass. Taiwan, not so much.

JAY-Z And Beyonce Look Thrilled As The Isley Brothers Serenade Them At Fanatics Event

JAY-Z and Beyonce were both in attendance at the grand opening of a new Fanatics Sportsbook location on the Atlantic City boardwalk in New Jersey on Sunday. In a viral clip from the ceremony on social media, they can be seen celebrating while The Isley Brothers perform right in front of them. When The Shade Room shared the video on Instagram, fans noted how unbothered they seemed amid the criticism of JAY-Z’s decision to platform Kendrick Lamar at Super Bowl LIX instead of Lil Wayne.

“The Carters don’t be caring wth y’all be saying about them! They be ignoring y’all like a fly in the wall! Y’all be talking to yourself!” one user wrote. Another added: “The way the black community have this strong hate towards them is why we will never see someone in jays shoes again!” Others continued arguing about the Super Bowl decision amongst themselves.

Fans have been arguing that Lil Wayne should get to headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show, considering the game is being held in his hometown of New Orleans. Jay explained the decision in a statement at the time of the announcement. “Kendrick Lamar is truly a once-in-a-generation artist and performer,” he said. “His deep love for Hip-Hop and culture informs his artistic vision. He has an unparalleled ability to define and influence culture globally. Kendrick’s work transcends music, and his impact will be felt for years to come.”

Elsewhere during the ceremony, Jay cut the ribbon, posed for pictures with Michael Rubin, and more. Check out the clip of The Isley Brothers performing at the Fanatics event below. Be on the lookout for further updates on JAY-Z and Beyonce on HotNewHipHop.

Playboi Carti Previews New Song For An Infant In Viral Clip

Playboi Carti has been a major talking point in the hip-hop world this weekend for a couple of reasons. For one, he finally gave us more details on his in-demand project, I AM MUSIC. The eventual third album doesn’t have a release date still, but we now have an album cover (multiple ones at that), bundles and merch, as well as a lead single. “ALL RED” looks to be just that despite all of the previous IG and YouTube exclusive releases we got earlier this year. While there is a healthy number of people that are messing with the song, there’s an equally large camp that’s not.

Carti pretty much sounds like Future on the cut, and with how long listeners have waited on him, they felt let down. But rest assured, there’s still tons of hype surrounding this release. Just check out this little boy’s reaction to another new song snippet. The video is going quite viral, as Carti and the infant hilariously but adorably share a wholesome moment in public.

For about 20 seconds both of them dance together and even share a high five at the end of it. Fans made some comical remarks about the clip but are also excited about the track’s potential. “Lil bro dont know who carti is or anything just vibin to the music. Best way to know your music hitting”, one IG user says. Another says, “that might be the best sounding snippet of all time”. “Baby knows it’s a classic”, someone else adds. It definitely has an ear-grabbing sound to it, and Carti is seemingly bringing back the OG delivery for this one, too. Obviously, there’s no word on if this will drop, but we hope it does soon.

What are your thoughts on Playboi Carti previewing a new song for a baby in public? Is this one of the most random yet adorable videos you have seen this year? Are you still excited for I AM MUSIC to drop soon? How do you feel about “ALL RED”? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Playboi Carti. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Joe Biden Breaks Silence On Donald Trump’s Latest Assassination Attempt With Secret Service Suggestion

Joe Biden says the Secret Service is going to need more help after Donald Trump survived yet another assassination attempt on Sunday afternoon. Biden addressed the incident while speaking with reporters outside of The White House on Monday morning. “One thing I want to make clear is: The Service needs more help. And I think Congress should respond to their need,” Biden said. He added that the organization, in the end, would “decide whether they need more personnel or not.”

It’s the second time Biden has commented on the situation, having released a statement on Sunday as well. At that time, he wrote: “I am relieved that the former President is unharmed. There is an active investigation into this incident as law enforcement gathers more details about what happened. As I have said many times, there is no place for political violence or for any violence ever in our country, and I have directed my team to continue to ensure that Secret Service has every resource, capability and protective measure necessary to ensure the former President’s continued safety.”

Trump had been golfing at his course in West Palm Beach, Florida when a shooter allegedly camped in the bushes with an AK-47. The man, Ryan Wesley Routh, is facing one count of possession of a firearm while a former felon and one count of possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number. He doesn’t appear to be facing any further charges as he didn’t fire any of the gunshots on Sunday. The reported gunfire was only from Secret Services members who spotted him.
