Rihanna’s New Wax Figure Stuns At Madame Tussauds Hong Kong

by

Earlier this week, Madame Tussauds Hong Kong added yet another celebrity wax figure to its collection, much to the delight of Rihanna fans everywhere. The museum teased RiRi’s arrival last week, prompting countless eager social media users to guess who whose wax figure was next. Their teaser included part of the orange jacket the hitmaker wore at her 2020 FENTY pop-up launch at Bergdorf Goodman.

“Rihanna is an incredibly captivating artist, and through the introduction of her wax figure, we aim to convey her spirit of constant breakthroughs and unwavering determination,” Mr. Wade Chang, General Manager of Midway Hong Kong, Merlin Entertainments says of the reveal. “We hope that every guest visiting Madame Tussauds Hong Kong will create unforgettable memories from their experience.”

Madame Tussauds Hong Kong Unveils RiRi Wax Figure

Fans agree that the artist behind the realistic figure nailed it, capturing everything from her hair to her undoubtedly Fenty Beauty makeup look perfectly. The figure is displayed in the museum’s fashion zone, though she remains best known for her music. Listeners have yet to hear anything new on that front from the mother of two for some time, her last full-length release being 2016’s ANTI. Fortunately, it could be a short wait for those looking forward to new material from the songstress. Earlier this month she chatted with Entertainment Tonight, giving supporters an update on when they might hear new music or catch her on tour.

“Well we’re always gonna go back on tour,” she shared. “I feel like, when there’s new music. We already know what that’s gonna be, with the songs that I’ve performed my last tour. That was a long time ago, I feel like it’s only fair that my fans get what they’ve been waiting on, which is new music. After that, lets just like, blow everything up.” What do you think of Rihanna’s new wax figure at Madame Tussauds Wax Museum in Hong Kong? Do you think the artist nailed it?

DaBaby Posts Email Showing Hong Kong Show Is 75% Sold Out

by

DaBaby recently posted a screenshot of an email that showed his Hong Kong show almost sold out. Moreover, the email included an update from presumably the event promoter or venue owner concerning ticket sales. “Hi Andrew,” the message begins, likely addressing a member of the Charlotte rapper’s team. “Sorry for the delay as I [was] away for Japan. The show have announced and went on sale. We are currently at 8200 tickets sold. So 75% sold.” Also, the screenshot included a message from the MC’s team that sent him the email. They wrote, “Hong King going to be LIT. U didn’t even have to announce…”

Furthermore, DaBaby posted the screenshot on his Instagram page with the show date. “#LIVESHOWKILLA,” he captioned his post. “Hong Kong March 11th.” Of course, readers likely remember DaBaby’s reported dwindling ticket sales in his U.S. shows following public controversy. However, the 31-year-old seems set on finding tour success in other parts of the world. Moreover, the chip on his shoulder will likely continue to motivate him to flex his money making. Still, he stood by his live experiences satisfying fans and bringing a good time, regardless of the number of patrons.

Meanwhile, the “Suge” MC also tried to circumvent some of his legal troubles recently. Moreover, he sought a postponement in his civil trial for alleged assault. The incident reportedly occurred in 2020 between DaBaby and a property leaser who claims the artist assaulted him. Also, authorities charged him criminally for the same incident. Furthermore, his attorneys maintained that the rapper can’t “testify in this matter until after his criminal case [resolves], which will not be until October 2023, at minimum.”

While the court originally scheduled his hearing for April, his lawyers claim that he can’t handle both jurisdictions concurrently. If the trial isn’t postponed, lawyers stated, “[DaBaby] will not be able to respond to discovery or testify without providing information that could potentially incriminate him in the parallel criminal case.” Whether his case ends up getting more difficult with time, at least he has some shows to look forward to. Regardless, log back into HNHH for the latest news on DaBaby and his almost sold-out Hong Kong show.
