Madonna Goes Back Home After Hospitalization Over Bacterial Infection

June 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Madonna’s recent hospitalization over the weekend left many fans worried and shocked, although all was well at the end of the day. Moreover, reports from TMZ now indicate that the pop star returned home and is in recovery following her stint in the intensive care unit (ICU) over a “serious bacterial infection.” Not only that, but reports on Thursday (June 29) from the BBC and CNN cited a source claiming that she is “in the clear.” However, this news left many fans wondering whether this will affect her upcoming tour, scheduled to begin this July. Furthermore, her longtime manager Guy Oseary shared a message on Wednesday (June 28) informing fans of the situation.

“On Saturday June 24, Madonna developed a serious bacterial infection which led to a several day stay in the ICU,” he wrote. “Her health is improving, however she is still under medical care. A full recovery is expected. At this time we will need to pause all commitments, which includes the tour. We will share more details with you as soon as we have them, including a new start date for the tour and for rescheduled shows.”

As such, it seems like the tour will be put on hold and timed more fittingly around the star’s recovering health. What’s more is that Madonna is probably very excited for it, considering that there’s new music to play as well. For example, the 64-year-old recently released her collab with The Weeknd and Playboi Carti for “The Idol” soundtrack, “Popular.” It’s a synth-led, groovy, and pretty catchy pop anthem that is rocking stadiums when Abel Tesfaye plays it. To see one of pop music’s most enduring and influential figures interpret it would surely be exciting for audiences anywhere.

Meanwhile, The Weeknd actually expressed an interest in working with her more. “The thing is, I’ve always wanted to work with her,” he said of the “visionary.” “I’ve always wanted to write and produce a Madonna album… Well, co-produce with her, of course. I just want to come into her world and create a classic Madonna album. That was always my dream. So this can be… hopefully, this is the appetizer for that.” For more news and the latest updates on the superstar, log back into HNHH.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z Paid Cash For Their Impressive New House

May 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Beyoncé and Jay-Z are some of the most renowned figures in the music industry. The couple continue to make waves year after year, and they show no signs of stopping. This year, both are taking significant strides in their careers. Beyoncé recently began her “Renaissance” World Tour in Europe. The shows have been making headlines since opening night. Fans continue to spend huge amounts of money to watch her perform. There have also been murmurs of the pop icon entering the hair industry. Meanwhile, Jay-Z has been actively engaged in persuading New York City to support his plans for a Roc Nation casino. The mogul wants to open it in Times Square, demonstrating his business acumen.

Amidst their busy schedules, the Carters have managed to secure an impressive new residence, setting a record in California. According to TMZ, their new home spans an astounding 30,000 square feet. It is located in Malibu and came with a price tag to match. The new home cost the couple $200 million. This remarkable purchase now holds the title for the most expensive property ever sold in the area. The previous record was $177 million. Although it falls short of being the most expensive real estate deal nationwide, the price they obtained is particularly notable. The initial listing price of $295 million. It appears, however, that the sale was even more impressive than originally thought.

Not only did Beyoncé and Jay-Z secure the most expensive sale of a home in California history, they also managed to do it in cash. TMZ reported that one of the biggest art collectors in the world had previously owned the home. The purchase of $200 million in cash is a substantial acquisition, but it should not be surprising.Both Beyoncé and Jay-Z have an impressive net worth and multiple ventures that bring in near-constant income. Their assets add quite a bit to their worth, as well.

Jay-Z’s net worth is estimated at around $2.5 billion. This is derived from his successful ventures in the liquor industry with Ace of Spades and D’Usse, his music catalog, and his valuable collection of fine art, including pieces by Basquiat. Beyoncé, too, has accumulated significant wealth, with Forbes estimating her net worth to be close to $500 million in 2022. Her earnings stem from lucrative tours, an extensive music catalog, and appearances in feature films. As Beyoncé’s “Renaissance” tour commences, projected to generate over $1 billion, their combined net worth is anticipated to further increase. What do you think of the couple’s new cash purchase?

Beyoncé & JAY-Z Keeping $88M Bel-Air House Despite Buying Malibu’s Most Expensive Home

May 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Beyoncé and JAY-Z are reportedly keeping their $88 million house in Bel-Air, despite having just purchased the most expensive home in all of Malibu. TMZ reported last week that the couple dropped $200 million on the mega-mansion. At that fee, it ranks as the second most expensive real estate deal in the country behind a $238 million bid for an NYC apartment. The couple’s new property was reportedly listed for $295 million. Celebrity realtor Kurt Rappaport represented both parties to bring the deal together.

The outlet described the property as one of “the greatest architectural masterpieces in the country.” It overlooks the Pacific Ocean and is located in the exclusive Paradise Cove area and was designed by famed Japanese architect, Tadao Ando. At 40,000 square feet, it also doubles as an art museum. Art collectors Bill and Maria Bell originally commissioned the property.

Back in 2022, JAY-Z’s frequent collaborator, Kanye West, purchased a home in Malibu for a whopping $57 million. Tadao Ando also designed his beachfront property. Other rappers to drop small fortunes on homes in the area include Dr. Dre, who bought a $40 Million home in Brentwood, California, Diddy, who purchased a $40 Million property in Holmby Hills, California, and more.

Beyoncé’s purchase of the Malibu property comes as she embarks on The Renaissance World Tour. For the effort, she’ll be making a total of 57 stops across England, Spain, France, Germany, and more. The shows kicked off on May 10 at Friends Arena, in Stockholm, Sweden. She’ll begin her run of shows in the United States on July 12 with a performance at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. DaniLeigh recently revealed that she worked with Beyoncé on the choreography for the concerts. Additionally, Natalia Bryant worked as an intern for Beyoncé ahead of the tour. It marks her first solo tour since the Formation World Tour in 2016.

Future Hilariously Tells DJ Khaled To Go Home

May 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Future is someone who is always jet-setting across the globe. Overall, there is a very good reason for this. He is a massive artist who is constantly touring. Moreover, he has a lot of wealth, so why not treat himself to some vacations every now and then? Needless to say, the artist is not at his home very often. If his friends want to pay him a surprise visit, they are essentially playing the lottery. Most of the time, there is an overwhelming chance that he will not be there to answer the door.

Unfortunately, this is something that DJ Khaled had to learn the hard way yesterday. As many of you already know, Khaled loves to ride jet skis. To be fair, Miami is the perfect place for this hobby. There is lots of water, and it is always warm and sunny outside. Consequently, DJ Khaled was out and about on a jet ski yesterday, and on his social media, he revealed he was on his way to see Future. Overall, it was meant to be a surprise visit. Although, Khaled’s end game here remains unknown.

Future Wasn’t Home

Future saw this social media story and immediately reposted it to his own Instagram story. However, the artist let it be known that Khaled was on his way to an empty home. “I’m not home, turn around,” Future said simply. Although it was a very basic reply, it was a hilarious one. For him to let Khaled down like that so publically made for great entertainment. That said, it remains to be seen if Khaled actually got that message while on the water. He likely ended up at Future’s house, only to be extremely disappointed.

If there is a lesson to be learned from this, it is that you should always contact your friends before going to see them. Otherwise, you may just end up wasting some very valuable time. Hopefully, Khaled and Future are able to link up fairly soon. Let us know what you think of all this, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Nick Cannon Reveals How He Decides Which Home To Sleep In

May 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Very few things are certain in this life: death, taxes, and Nick Cannon managing his time among his children and baby mamas. Moreover, the media star has 12 children with six different partners, and as much as that’s great headline fodder, he loves having a big family and showing them all love. Also, many of his baby mamas have defended him amid claims that he’s not as present in his kids’ lives as he should be. However, that wide net comes with some tough choices to make. One of those is how Cannon decides what bed he’s going to sleep in on a given night, which he revealed to The Los Angeles Times.

From what he remarked, apparently his sleeping arrangements are contingent on who he spoke to that day. “A lot of times it’s whichever of them has called me that day, to be honest,” Nick Cannon told the publication. “I am such a creature of habit. I like who like me.” In addition, he clarified that he keeps clothes at each of his baby mamas’ houses in the conversation, published Sunday (May 7).

Nick Cannon Uses This Metric To Decide Where He’ll Sleep

In that same interview, the “Wild ‘N Out” host said that he makes $100 million a year, which is an insane metric. Still, he also spoke briefly on some of the “downsides” to his busy lifestyle, and that of his partners. “Because everybody’s so busy, nobody’s looking to have sex with me,” the 42-year-old revealed. “Everybody’s focus is the children.” Of course, many will joke that Nick Cannon doesn’t need to spread his seed any further, but at least he’s owning up to their priorities. After all, he could be much more nonchalant than this when it comes to caring for and discussing his children and romantic partnerships.

Meanwhile, there is one relationship where he proceeds with extra caution: Mariah Carey. “She’s high frequency, man,” he expressed to Jason Lee. “She always like- she asks me all the time, like, ‘You alright? How you doin’? You handling it all.’ She’s like, ‘As long as you don’t bring none of that bulls**t over to the Manor of Carey.’ She lives in her own world. Nothing can infiltrate that. So, when we talk daily, she’s just checking on my spirit.” For more updates and the latest news on Nick Cannon, log back into HNHH.

Tina Knowles’ Home Vandalized, Suspect Taken Into Custody

April 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Tina Knowles was recently the victim of a man vandalizing her Los Angeles home, TMZ reports. Moreover, Solange and Beyoncé’s mother had an unwelcome visitor throwing rocks at her mailbox last Saturday (April 1), damaging her property and causing a disturbance. When the Los Angeles Police department got a call about the disturbance, they rushed to the designer’s home to respond to the incident. However, the suspect allegedly ran off on foot while being pursued by police units, including a helicopter. Eventually, they nabbed him after a foot pursuit and the suspect is now in police custody.

Furthermore, law enforcement informed the publication that the man behaved erratically during his arrest. Given that circumstance, authorities placed him on a 5150 psychiatric hold. Interestingly enough, TMZ also reported that Knowles suffered minimal damages to her mailbox, and fortunately, it seems like the rest of her property remains unscathed. Also, the part-time actress also apparently declined to press charges or even file an official police report. It seems like she let this incident brush off her shoulder, and hopefully she isn’t the victim of further attacks.

Fortunately, other news surrounding Tina Knowles leaned toward much less dangerous developments as of late. For example, she recently expressed pride in her granddaughter Rumi, one of Beyoncé’s children, already expressing an interest in fashion. “Rumi loves fashion,” she expressed during an interview. “She picks out her own clothes. We recently went to Disneyland, and she put on her Mickey Mouse shorts. Then she wanted to put on a sparkly printed top which had the same colors. It actually looked really cute. Blue was like, ‘My mom would be mad because she’s doing too much,.’ And Rumi said, ‘This is my style.’ She’s 5. I was impressed. She wore outrageous stuff, but she has an amazing sense of style. So you let them do their own thing. You can’t say, ‘No, this doesn’t go with this or that.’”

Meanwhile, the designer is often spending quality time with her grandchildren in wholesome fashion. A couple of years ago, people went crazy over Blue Ivy doing Tina’s makeup. Hopefully the next headline about the Knowles matriarch involves more of that kind of content and less headlines about harassers and mailbox vandals. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Tina Knowles.

Rihanna’s Home Swarmed By Police As Intruder Tries To Propose To Her

March 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Rihanna is one of the most popular artists in the entire world. Overall, she has been making a massive comeback from a purely musical perspective. For instance, she was the halftime performer at the Super Bowl. Moreover, she performed her song for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever at the Oscars. Needless to say, everything is going well for the artist these days. She is also pregnant with her second child with A$AP Rocky. On all fronts, Rihanna seems to be doing great, which is amazing to see.

Unfortunately, some people are attempting to disturb her peace. According to TMZ, a man from South Carolina flew out to Los Angeles in an attempt to meet the singer. As the story goes, the man went up to Rihanna’s house and tried to get in. However, security was right there to greet him. When asked about his intentions, he claimed that he wanted to propose to the singer. Clearly, that was never going to be successful, but he tried it regardless.

Rihanna Is Doing Just Fine

The security subsequently called police officers who rushed over to the home. From there, they took the man away but eventually released him. Ultimately, the man had not broken any laws, which led to his aforementioned release. While some may find this response by police to be underwhelming, it is fairly in line with what we have seen from these types of cases, in the past. As for Rihanna and her role in all of this, it has yet to be reported whether or not she was home at the time of the intrusion.

Unfortunately, the legendary artist has been subjected to these kinds of invasions before. Back in 2018, Rihanna was away from her home when a man named Eduardo Leon was found inside of the house. He was promptly arrested after telling police that he wanted to have sex with the singer. Thankfully, security was there to make sure this most recent incident didn’t go further than it did. Stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the music world.

Billie Eilish’s L.A. Home Visited By Police After False Alarm

February 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Police officers arrived at Billie Eilish’s home in Los Angeles on Wednesday after a prankster alleged to authorities that the singer was in trouble. According to TMZ, several Glendale P.D. squad cars ascended on the home to check on Eilish’s wellbeing. There, they spoke with members of Billie’s team and determined everything to be alright.

Despite Wednesday’s incident being a false alarm, Eilish is better safe than sorry considering a recent scare at her home. Eilish got a 5-year restraining order against Christopher Anderson after he allegedly broke into the family home, last month. Anderson professed his love for the 21-year-old singer. Her mom, dad, and brother, Finneas are also protected by the restraining order. Police were most recently called to the house on January 5 after someone was trying to scale the fence to get into the property.

Eilish also recently discussed the online hate she receives while speaking with Lana Del Rey for Interview magazine. In the piece, she reflected on her reaction to a TikTok post accusing her of being a “horrible person.” “I have this inevitable feeling of, ‘Oh, everyone hates me,’ ” Eilish confessed. “With the world of TikTok and social media, there is a level where it’s kind of true, because there are these videos. I’m lying in bed last night, and I go on TikTok because I’m falling asleep, and I just want to be mindless for a second, watch some funny videos,” she said. “I keep scrolling and I’m thinking, ‘Billie, put your phone away. You’re getting tired.’ Then I swipe to the next one and it’s a video with millions of likes and it’s something about how I’m a horrible person. And all these comments are like, ‘I’m so glad that you guys are seeing through her.’ And I’m like, ‘Damn.’ “

A similar police-related issue recently plagued Britney Spears. Fans called cops to the singer’s house after she deleted her Instagram page. Spears ended up being totally fine and the police left without worry. Spears later explained deleting the page. She wrote on Twitter: “There were too many people saying I looked like an idiot dancing and that I looked crazy.”
