September 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A fan of Playboi Carti allegedly broke into his hotel room in Brazil and filmed the inside. The video of what appears to be the rapper’s hotel room and screenshots of the person who seemingly broke in admitting to doing so are circulating online. “As I’m Brazilian, I’m going to try to get into the hotel pretending to be a guest. LOL,” the person wrote in one DM.

As the post went viral on social media, users criticized the fan’s antics. One person on X (formerly Twitter) wrote: “Wow, telling people that a large artist has no security at his hotel is definitely a good idea!” Another added: “Sum n****s actually have mental problems like why tf would you think of doin sum sh*t like this.” Others joked about the incident causing further delays to his upcoming album.

The hotel room incident comes after Billboard awarded Carti with Artist of the Year at the R&B/Hip-Hop Power Players ceremony in New York City. During his acceptance speech, he notably gave a shoutout to the late Rich Homie Quan, who passed away on Thursday at the age of 33. “I want to thank my mama, I want to thank God,” he said during the event. “Thank you, Billboard. This my first award. I’m very happy to be here. R.I.P. Rich Homie Quan. ATL in the building. Shout-out to the whole New York. I love y’all. Thank you.”

May 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Fans of Nicki Minaj came out in droves to support the rapper in Manchester outside of her hotel after she was arrested in Amsterdam over the weekend. Earlier in the day, she announced the cancelation of her show at the city’s Co-Op Live due to the airport hold-up. Apologizing to her fans on social media, she revealed the location of where she was staying and asked them to stop by.

“I love you and I’m so sorry this happened tonight,” Minaj said in a video posted on social media. In another post on X (formerly Twitter), she added: “I’m going on the balcony so if you’re outside I’ll be able to see you & I may come downstairs. I’ll be out there for about an hour. Rlly (really) wanted to at least get to see you.”

Minaj made headlines for live streaming the arrest on Instagram, showing officers accusing her of carrying drugs. “They’ve been trying to stop me from coming to every show,” she wrote on X afterward. “They took my bags before I could see them. Put it on the plane. Now saying they’re waiting on customs. This is what it looks like when ppl are paid big money to try to sabotage a tour after all else failed. Everything they’ve done is illegal.” She was eventually released after a several-hour delay that caused her to cancel that night’s concert.

JPEGMAFIA Blasts Freddie Gibbs, He Responds Unbothered

February 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It seems like collaborating on the same project, Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s Vultures in this case, can’t solve rap beef. Moreover, JPEGMAFIA took to Twitter on Friday and Saturday (February 23 and 24) to unleash a scathing rant against Freddie Gibbs. The two have been at odds for a long time, and they have some specific points to make. First, Peggy clowned the Indiana rapper for always getting beat up, having his baby mama appear in an adult film while pregnant, and having NSFW pictures of his private parts leak onto the Internet. Freddie responded with unbothered videos working out, having breakfast, and waiting for his opponent in the hotel lobby. He also seemed to call the “Burfict!” rapper old for wearing one earring and mocked his low album sales.

Furthermore, they both seemed to be in Milan for Kanye West’s Vultures sessions and live shows, and allegedly at the same hotel. It’s hard to piece this all together because JPEGMAFIA’s tweeted so much against Freddie Gibbs that it’s hard to identify which surfaced tweets are real and which ones are fake. But that’s what the Baltimore artist claimed, and given that he released two videos from what seems like a train or plane, some fans even theorized that Ye asked him to leave due to all this. That is purely speculative though, and not just completely unconfirmed, but something that JPEG denied.

Not only that, but these exchanges also led JPEGMAFIA to combat his white fanbase and his followers as a whole. He’s never shied away from this type of confrontation online. However, paired with Kanye West’s antisemitic and far-right tendencies and the SCARING THE H*ES creative’s staunch condemnation of these politics, some folks are calling out hypocrisy. “Is any body in your family racist? You gonna punch them to stand on your reddit morals?” he responded to a fan calling out Ye’s Nazi ties.

“These are my fans,” Peggy said of folks asking him to stop the Twitter arguments. “They may not agree with me all the time but im here for them. And i do everything for them. They are worth my time. I just wish they respected me a little more i work hard for them.” Meanwhile, Freddie is living it up and simply enjoying his time in Milan. We’ll see if this beef goes any further; check out the “Via” link for a Reddit summary -– and their own Twitter pages for updates.

Britney Spears Allegedly Banned From Los Angeles Hotel For Swimming Topless

January 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Following the end of her controversial conservatorship, Britney Spears re-entered the public eye in a way she hadn’t been in years. Despite that increased attention though, it can sometimes be tricky to get a handle on what exactly she’s doing these days. She often shares posts to her Instagram but fans have repeatedly questioned the authenticity of some of the claims she’s made on the platform. There are also reportedly very few people in her inner circle according to reports published last year.

Now, a new report has emerged making the claim that Britney Spears was banned from a hotel. The place in question is a Four Seasons hotel in Los Angeles. According to Hollywood Unlocked, she was banned from the hotel “due to complaints about her ‘bizarre behavior’ and instances of stripping off by the pool.” Spears reportedly stays at the hotel often and the staff have allegedly been frustrated by some of her antics. While it’s just reports right now, there’s reason to believe they could be true. Spears has been long known to spend time at the hotel and even once shared a topless picture taken there to her Instagram. Check out the full report below.

In the comments, most of the fans seem to be on Britney’s side. “notice there no pic..not even blurred security vids nothing..hmm” one comment reads expressing doubt in the reports. Others just call for the often troubled pop star to be left alone. “She is LIVING! Leave her tf alone” and “LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE !!!!!” two additional highly upvoted comments read.

News about Britney has been pretty quiet in recent weeks. She’s continued to share new content to her social media for her fans. Additionally, Justin Timberlake recently began playing show again where he addressed some of the backlash from Spears’ memoir. What do you think of the reports that Britney Spears was banned from a Loa Angeles hotel? Do you think they’re true? Let us know in the comment section below.

Kanye West Reportedly Has Miami Hotel Staff Annoyed By His Stay & Late Night Antics: Report

January 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West recently stayed in Miami for Art Basel and the start of his tumultuous Vultures album rollout with Ty Dolla $ign. While he will likely return to the Floridian city in due time, odds are that he might not receive the same warm greeting if he tries to find a room at the same hotel. Moreover, Ye stayed at the Four Seasons five-star hotel at the Surf Club resort, which is outside the typical spot for all the parties, South Beach. Still, according to alleged sources who spoke to Page Six in a new report, he apparently kept bringing in late night guests that had the staff and security feeling very frustrated with him.

In addition, the Chicago artist had a recording studio set up at the Four Seasons, and for the night of his Vultures listening party in December, he had about 15 black SUVs going in and out of the property until 5AM. It looks like he isn’t in Miami anymore, but perhaps hotels should start prepping for stricter treatment if he returns. After all, Kanye West isn’t exactly known for his constancy, whether personally or financially, and things don’t seem to be going in a more calm direction. But we never really know with him, do we?

For example, comedian Katt Williams recently gave his take on the whole Kanye situation and why this is nothing new for him. Specifically, the comedian compared him to someone with a learning disability when it comes to his behavior and decision-making. According to him, the 46-year-old isn’t in a position to put in rational thought due to his mental illness, but people still fuel the fire by calling him a genius and buying into it. Regardless, this was still more of a defense than an attack, and a nuanced way to address our constant obsession with him contrasted with his actual personal and mental needs.

Meanwhile, there’s still a lot of discussion about the “Say You Will” mogul’s Hebrew apology to the Jewish community. Since than post, he’s been pretty quiet on new release and social media activity fronts, so we still don’t have a follow-up to let us know whether this is a legitimate new direction or a fluke. Hopefully we find out sooner rather than later. For more news and the latest updates on Kanye West, come back to HNHH.

Rich The Kid Arrested During Bomb Threat In Miami: Report

December 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Rich The Kid recently stayed at the SLS Hotel in South Beach, Miami, where he faced a bizarre and rebellious arrest. Moreover, when he arrived at the building on Sunday night during Art Basel festivities, he found that police surrounded the perimeter, as the responded to an active bomb threat. Thus, no one could enter, and the “Big Pimpin” rapper told officers that he had to reach his hotel room. They maintained that no one could enter while they searched the premises and investigated the threat, and he would have to wait until they finished. But the Queens native wasn’t having it, even after police told him they would arrest him if he tried to get in.

Allegedly, according to what law enforcement told TMZ, he responded to their warning with, “I’ll bond out in 20 minutes.” Then, Rich The Kid went to another corner of the hotel, where the officers he met told him basically the same thing. According to their testimony, he challenged them with, “Stop me,” and jumped the fence. When the “Still Movin’” MC entered SLS, he met a K-9 unit who instructed him to leave, but he refused. Instead, he loitered in the driveway, and police then arrested him and took him in on two misdemeanor charges: trespassing and resisting an officer without violence.

However, this isn’t all that Rich The Kid has to deal with when it comes to being accountable for his actions. During a recent interview with The Shade Room, he reflected on his cheating scandal with fiancée Tori Brixx, for which he had publicly apologized. “I’m fighting for my family,” the 31-year-old shared. “Got to go hard for what you want. She definitely is my family. We been together for, like, six years. I definitely see myself with her for the rest of my life, I’d be a fool to do anything else.”

Meanwhile, the couple came together since then, and seem to be in a much better place. As of writing this article, he doesn’t seem to have addressed this recent arrest on social media. But hopefully the couple continues this upward trajectory despite some legal trouble. On that note, log back into HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Rich The Kid.

Earlier this summer she released the deluxe edition of her Like…? EP. The project spawned yet another hit for her with “Deli” and established her as a presence on the Billboard 200.

Because of the nature of her new lifestyle, she doesn’t really have a place to call home. “I’m always moving because people are starting to notice me a lot, and things get weird and creepy really quickly.

Google Is Offering Employees $99 Rooms At Its On-Site Hotel

August 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Google has announced a new policy to tempt workers back to the company’s Mountain View campus in California. Employees will be able to rent a hotel room for $99 a night at an on-site hotel. This comes as the company continues to push its return-to-work model. Last year, Google ended full-time remote working and mandate employees to work at least three days a week in-office. Since then, Google has been doubling down on the policy. Google is very eager to minimize the “hybrid” aspect of its hybrid work policy. In June, it was reported that Google was tracking employee badges and warned employees that their levels of in-person attendance would factor into their performance reviews.

Among materials distributed to employees about the hotel offer, the lack of a commute was listed as a benefit of the scheme. Google opened the 4,000-room hotel last year. However, the scheme does come with a few catches. Firstly, stays at the hotel will not qualify as business travel. This means that the $99 per night rate cannot be expensed. Additionally, the $99 price tag is noted as a temporary discount that will expire in September. At the time of writing, Google has not disclosed how much the room will cost from October onwards.

Google Employees Have Mixed Reaction To Hotel Announcement

“We regularly run accommodation specials for local or traveling Googlers to take advantage of our spaces and amenities,” Google spokesperson Ryan Lamont told The Verge. “We advertise these in a regular Perks email which also contains discounts for employees on other services and entertainment options.” However, the option, which would cost a little under $3000 per month, has been met with mixed reactions from Google staff.

“Now I can give some of my pay back to Google,” one staffer told CNBC News. Meanwhile, another argued that Google had better amenities than their apartment. However, some employees are also worried that their jobs could be on the line if they don’t utilize the new policy. Earlier this year, Google cut 12,000 jobs and is reportedly looking at further cuts in the near future. Regardless, would you pay to live at your job? Let us know in the comments.

Stormzy Tries To Move His Lamborghini From Between Two Cars At London Hotel

May 19, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Stormzy is one of the most successful and renowned figures from the UK grime scene, who keeps putting out great material every so often. While he’s currently on a less packed schedule release-wise, that’s by no means an indication of him slacking off. Moreover, he recently went to the 2023 Ivor Novello Awards at the Grosvenor Hotel in London on Thursday (May 19). However, when he got his keys from the valet and went to his vehicle upon exiting, he found his luxury yellow Lamborghini sandwiched between two other cars. When he tried to back it up and reverse his way out, it seems the situation got even stickier for him.

Furthermore, Stormzy’s yellow Lambo was reportedly stuck for about 15 minutes before hotel staff came to assist. After they moved one of the other vehicles to open space, the South Norwood artist was able to leave with no further issues. While it might seem like a small and inarguably expensive delay, time is greater than money for most celebrities out there. He could’ve run into an unwanted situation with a fan, get surrounded by paparazzi, or just been out longer for more than what he bargained for.

Meanwhile, more recent Stormzy news revolved around gossip that he and his ex-girlfriend Maya Mama are getting back together. Rumors indicate the two are back in regular contact after dating for four years and calling it quits in 2019. “I’d never experienced a breakup and the feelings that come with a breakup,” Stormzy told GQ of the split back in November of 2022. “And I never wanted to ever be in a position again where I felt what I was feeling. Because it showed me that I was a boy. And I do not want to go any further as a boy. I’ve seen how that manifests in other people. And I don’t want to be like that.”

“So what is the necessary work I have to do to make sure I’m not in this position again?” the This Is What I Mean lyricist continued. “That means growth, accountability, changing my character, changing my routines, my habits, my tradition, my values, my morals. Because how I feel right now and how I’ve made someone else feel and how I’ve devastated a world that I was living in- I just never want to be in this position again. So what do I need to do?” For more news and the latest updates on Stormzy, stick around on HNHH.

GloRilla Says She Was Racially Profiled At Hotel Valet

April 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

GloRilla recently had to hop on her Instagram to tell her fans an unfortunate story, in which she believes she was racially profiled. Moreover, the “Tomorrow 2” hitmaker tried to get her car out of her hotel valet, telling the employee her room number to verify her ownership of the vehicle. Then, he said that there was no way she owned a Mercedes car, saying that it was an expensive whip. Not only that, but he allegedly insinuated that many people stole cars recently, and so he believed Glo tried to do the same. Eventually, she figured things out and resolved the issue, but it still left her not just offended, but surprised.

After all, the Memphis MC is one of the biggest and most buzzed about rising stars of the moment. She just dropped a deluxe version of her breakout project, Anyways, Life’s Great… including Lil Durk, Cardi B, and other notable names. Of course, it includes her massive hit “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” along with a few other hits across the tracklist. What’s more is that she’s carrying the flag of the dominant Memphis scene, and exemplifies it through her sound and style.

GloRilla Calls Out Hotel Valet’s Racial Profiling Over Her Car

A post shared by RapTV (@rap)

Unfortunately, she clapped back at another rapper using her name for clout on a track, adding to the disrespect. On his song “Saweetie” (on which he also name-drops the titular artist), Money Man rapped about wanting a girl with GloRilla’s figure. “Skinny b***h inside my DMs, she remind me of GloRilla,” he rapped on the track. Following a lot of people pointing out the bar to her, the 23-year-old took to Twitter to call out the song and the questionable lyrics.

“Hey guys, what song is this??????????? I hate it,” she quote-tweeted a user who wrote the bar in question to her. Regardless, GloRilla likely has a lot more big things to look forward to that will allow her to kick that dirt off her shoulder. For example, she recently participated in a Tommy Jeans and Aries campaign and paid tribute to the late and great Aaliyah. For more news and updates on her next moves, check back in with HNHH for all things GloRilla.
