Rihanna Plays Piano In Lingerie Courtesy Of New Savage Fenty Ad

November 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rihanna has taken a significant hand in the promotion of her Savage Fenty brand. She’s appeared in several ads herself, and has promoted the brand at length on her social media accounts. Her latest Fenty ad might be her most notable yet, though. Rihanna slipped into lingerie to promote her new Lavish Lace campaign, and she decided to do so while playing a tune at the piano. The photos from the ad would have been more than enough to garner attention, but behind the scenes footage from the Fenty shoot has made its way online.

Rihanna mostly poses behind the piano, but she does tickle the ivories at the few crucial points during the shoot. She looks predictably spectacular, decked out in all yellow lingerie. Given the musical nature of the Lavish Lace ad, however, there were fans who took to the comment section to ask for an update on Rihanna’s upcoming album. The pop superstar has been teasing the release of R9 since she last put out music in 2016. The last notable update we got from Rihanna was in June. She told ET Online that she plans to scrap the music she already had.

“I think that music, for me, is a new discovery,” Rihanna explained. “I’m rediscovering things. I have been working on the album for so long that I kinda put all that stuff aside and now I’m prepared to go back in the studio. I’m gonna start — give me a second!.” Conversely, Rihanna has had a blast working on Fenty brand and her various brands. She recently announced that her products would be available at select retailers across nine different Caribbean territories. This will mark the first time they will be available in the singer’s native Barbados.

“It’s always felt awkward that my brand has not been in my home,” she told ESSENCE. “So this is something I’ve always wanted to do. I’ve always pushed for it. The moment we were approved to come here, we came.” Rihanna is also slated to appear on A$AP Rocky’s upcoming album, DON’T BE DUMB. Unfortunately, her hubby’s album has suffered nearly as many delays as her own. Fingers crossed we get both soon.

Karlissa Saffold Disses Kris Jenner After Kim Kardashian Admits To Feeling Like A Single Parent

November 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

During her appearance on the What In the Winkler? podcast earlier this month, Kim Kardashian opened up about parenting the four children she shares with her ex-husband, Kanye West. The SKIMS founder admitted that it’s been one of her biggest struggles. Sadly, she also shared that she feels as though she’s doing it mostly by herself, despite having help.

“I think you and I’ve mostly connected on parenting. And judgment, and feeling like sometimes you’re in this alone, even though we have great support systems and we have people around us,” she told host Zoe Winkler. “But sometimes in the middle of the night when they’re all sleeping in your bed kicking you and crying and waking up—it’s not something that I talk about a lot because I feel like there is always a lot of judgment or people always will jump to the, ‘Oh, but you have the resources to have nannies and to have help.’ And I just think that no matter what kind of help I have, I’m basically raising four kids by myself.”

Of course, many social media users perceived this as shade directed at Ye, who clearly isn’t co-parenting up to the reality star’s standards. While many called her out about complaining about parenthood as someone with far more resources than most, others empathized with her struggles. Karlissa Saffold even hoped online to share her own interesting response to Kim’s claim, which seemingly included disses aimed at her parents Kris and Caitlyn Jenner.

“Chile welcome to the club but at least the black men ain’t leave us for no man,” Saffold captioned a carousel of photos of her and Kim with their children. “ #singlemotherhoodsucks.” Her remark has commenters split, with many arguing that she has little room to criticize other people’s family dynamics.

Lil Baby Promises Fans A “Totally Different” Big Run Amid New Music Teases

November 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Baby is coming through with a new album and a wild run soon, or at least, that’s what he’s teasing a lot towards. He recently dropped off the new single “5AM” and spent a lot of time as of late hinting at what’s to come, most recently through a new Instagram post this week. “Ain’t It Crazy How They Tryna Play Me Like I Ain’t The One!!!” the Atlanta MC captioned the post. “It’s That Time! I Would Say Again But This Run Will Be Totally Different!! I Had The Darkest Period Of My Life These Last Two Years But I Stayed Down And Overcame That S**t Now I’m Back To F***in S**t Up As Usual… Sincerely Wham!! Who Hard As Me Let’s Gooooooo.”

Furthermore, Lil Baby also enlisted some of his favorite collaborators to make magic together, which is exciting for a few different reasons. First off, he linked up with Future and Travis Scott in the studio, which is always a treat to see. But fans especially generated hype because they also cooked up with none other than Young Thug, who just got out of jail about two weeks ago.

In fact, Young Thug also teased a Lil Baby collab as one of his first post-YSL RICO trial statements, which also caused a stir online. It led to the now-prevalent theory that Thugger and Gunna are at odds, since Wham was one of the rappers who supposedly subliminally dissed Wunna following his plea deal. Thanks to Thug’s recent tweet-and-delete, that seems more likely than ever. So there’s a lot on our plate these days when it comes to anticipated new music, and plenty of people involved in that hype.

Lil Baby is at the forefront these days, previewing new album tracks at recent concerts and collaborating with a lot of stars. Whether or not it’s with Young Thug, Travis Scott, Future, all three, or just by himself, fans are very interested to hear what’s in store. Maybe this is the calm before a stormy comeback or it’s a false forecast. Either way, we won’t know until it lands, so we’re crossing our fingers for some heat.

Raekwon Tributes Ol’ Dirty Bastard On 20th Anniversary Of His Death

November 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Raekwon and Ol’ Dirty Bastard are two of the most beloved and iconic members of the Wu-Tang Clan. Both rappers dropped classic debuts in 1995. Despite their singular styles, managed to cross over and collab with other legendary artists. Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s tragic death in 2004 rocked Wu-Tang Clan to its core, and Raekwon took to Instagram on November 13 to pay his respects to the “Shimmy Shimmy Ya” rapper.

Raekwon posted a singular photo of Ol’ Dirty Bastard performing next to a lengthy message. “Miss you beloved,” he wrote. “Today marks 20 years you been gone and it’s not a day that goes by we don’t miss feeling your presence in the world.” Raekwon, who appeared on Ol’ Dirty’s classic 1995 song “Raw Hide,” also announced plans to tribute the rapper in Newark, New York. “At my grand opening in Newark’s very own @hashstoria location,” Rae explained. “We will be doing a tribute to your legacy by playing ya music throughout the day.” The Chef concluded his statement by noting how important Ol’ Dirty Bastard was to the success of Wu-Tang overall.

“Thank you for believing in us and putting ya mighty crew on the map,” Raekwon wrote. “You will always remain general in my eyes. love you.” This is not the first time that the Chef has tipped his cap to Ol’ Dirty in the two decades since his death. The rapper’s classic 2009 sequel Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Pt. 2 had a standout cut named after Ol’ Dirty: “Ason Jones.” “The first dude to say, ‘Yo, keep it real,’” Rae rapped on the song. “Yeah, the lover, the father, the hustler, the rap professor. Now, he with Allah, that’s a blessing.” A sample of O.D.B. talking is included at the end of the song.

Raekwon also came together with the rest of Wu-Tang to tribute Ol’ Dirty Bastard in 2005. O.D.B.’s old recordings were repurposed for the posthumous album A Son Unique. Rae was among the artists who appeared on the tracklist. He appeared on the posse cut “Intoxicated” and the single “I Go Through Life” alongside the rest of the Wu-Tang Clan. Raekwon is currently working on his eighth studio album.

Jack Harlow Reveals Unexpected Pick For Favorite Rap Group Of All Time

November 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jack Harlow loves hip hop. It’s become easy to pile on the “First Class” rapper for his pop-friendly approach, but he has spoken at length about the artists he listened to growing up and the passion he has for the genre. Jackman, his last album, was a testament to this. It should then come as no surprise that he would be willing to talk hip hop via social media. Jack Harlow played ten questions on Instagram on November 13, and one fan inquired about his favorite hip hop group. His answer was not at all what we expected.

The question had some easy candidates build in as potential answers. “Most legendary rap group,” the fan asked. “Between Wu-Tang, Dipset and A$AP Mob? Can only pick one.” Jack Harlow responded with a very concise and very surprising answer. He posted a photo of YBN Cordae and YBN Nahmir and wrote back: “Try again.” There you have it. Jack Harlow’s favorite rap group is YBN, which ran from 2014-2020 and released only one collaborative album. You’d be hard-pressed to find a hip hop fan who would put the YNB crew in the same company as say, Wu-Tang Clan or A$AP Mob, but we have to hand it to Jack Harlow for taking a left turn.

Jack Harlow Worked With Cordae On A 2021 Remix

Jack Harlow has never worked with Nahmir, but he has gotten on a record with Cordae. In fact, he was able to rap alongside Cordae and a mutual hero of theirs, Eminem on the remix to “Killer.” Harlow gushed about the opportunity to collaborate with such notable talents during a 2021 interview with Billboard. “He gave me a lot of props that any artist would love to get,” Harlow said regarding Em. “Sometimes, the best gem is just somebody you admire, letting you know who you think you are. He let me know, ‘You’re that.’”

Jack Harlow’s endorsement could not have come at a better time for Cordae. The former YBN member is dropping his third studio album, The Crossroads, on November 15. The album will feature several rappers that Harlow has collaborated with in the past, including Lil Wayne and Kanye West. Cordae recently made headlines for asserting that he doesn’t “give one f*ck” about first week album sales, as well. Harlow, on the other hand, claimed that he has some “special sh*t” on the way during a recent Brooklyn concert.

Kehlani Clarifies Remarks About Her Child Being “Her Wife” In A Past Life

November 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kehlani came under fire, and understandably so, on November 13. The singer was accused of making discomforting comments about her daughter in court documents filed by her ex. She allegedly stated that her daughter was actually her “wife” in a past life, which led to widespread concern over whether Kehlani was engaged in an inappropriate relationship with her daughter. The singer decided to take to Instagram Wednesday evening to set the record straight.

Kehlani posted a lengthy, multi-part message on Instagram. She acknowledged the rumors that have been swirling about her role as a parent. She made it very clear that she not take the comment about her daughter previously being “her wife” seriously. The singer explained that the concept came from a past life reading she had done, and found the comment regarding her daughter to be humorous. “I shared what I considered to be a lighthearted recap with my child’s father,” she asserted. “Laughing at it and considering it something light and not to be taken serious.”

Kehlani Is “Heartbroken” By Her Ex’s Allegation

Kehlani then accused her ex of taking their conversation out of context and framing it the worst light possible. She stated unequivocally that she has never been inappropriate with her daughter, who is five. “To make me seem like I consider myself to be in an inappropriate relationship with my daughter,” she singer wrote. “Is the most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever f*cking heard.” The singer broadened the scope of her frustrations, and noted that she has been hit with numerous accusations in court over the last few months. The implication that she has been an abusive mother, however, proved to be a step too far.

“This is where I absolutely draw the line,” Kehlani announced. “The rest of these absolutely monstrous allegations are being addressed in court. The singer also included screenshots of the text conversation from which the allegations originated. To Kehlani’s point, the conversation between her and her ex does have a tone that is more playful than troubling. “She was my wife once lol,” the singer wrote. “All these people prolly be lying lmao.” The custody battle between Kehlani and her ex are ongoing.

50 Cent And Busta Rhymes Roast Each Other Over Bad Haircuts On Instagram

November 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent is hip hop’s most consistent troll. Other rappers have been more annoying, or more aggressive, but 50 has been doing it for longer than some of his genre peers have been alive. And he decided to take aim at another New York legend on November 12. 50 Cent posted a video of Busta Rhymes in which the latter’s hairstyle was pretty questionable. The video sees Busta sporting too much Bigen enhancement dye powder, and the “In da Club” rapper absolutely roasted him for it.

“Yo n**gas out of line, yo,” 50 Cent can be heard saying in the video. “How they let the n**gas Busta paint his whole head like that?” He doubled down on the Instagram caption, tagging some of Busta’s peers and calling them out for not alerting the rapper to his hair situation. “I think @fatjoe, Khaled and Tyson need to intervene here,” 50 Cent added. “Lol WTF.” The video is admittedly hilarious, and 50 doubled down by posting a photoshopped image of Fat Joe and DJ Khaled’s faces on hair products. Busta Rhymes did not take things lying down, though. He decided to fire back with some jokes of his own.

Busta Rhymes Playfully Mocked 50 Cent In Return

Busta posted a photo of 50 Cent rocking a pretty questionable hairstyle of his own. He found a rare photo of the G-Unit founder without his trademark fade, and proceeded to tee off in the caption. “What the f*ck in a 100 jars of TCB gel type sh*t is this my n**ga,” he wrote. “50 c’mon man. By the way fif, this sh*t look like ya jerry curl stink too bruddah!!.” Fair game. The jabs were thrown on both sides, and it all seemed to be in good fun. 50 being 50, though, kept it going. The rapper decided to post another photo of Busta Rhymes with TV producer Mona Scott-Young.

You can probably guess where this is going. “@Monascottyoung is thinking oh my God he painted his head,” 50 Cent wrote in the caption. “LOL hahahaha I’m done with you.” 50 and Busta Rhymes have collaborated a few times over the years, but this merciless trolling is a better indicator of their dynamic. The two rappers always seem to be finding something to mock with regard to one another. Fortunately, it all seems to be in good fun.

Flo Milli Sparks Pregnancy Rumors With New Video And Fans Are Shaken

November 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Flo Milli has been crushing it in 2024. The rapper released her third critically acclaimed album, Fine Ho, Stay, and scored her first top 20 single on Billboard. She’s bigger than ever. The fact that she’s at such a crucial point in her career is what shocked so many fans on November 12. Flo Milli posted a video of her dancing to a snippet of a new song. She asked fans what she should name the song. Most of the fans were distracted, however, by the belief that the rapper had revealed her baby bump.

The comment section was absolutely flooded with supportive messages. Many were shocked to notice Flo Milli’s baby bump, given that the rapper had previously shown no signs of pregnancy. The thing that makes this whole ordeal more complicated, though, is Flo Milli’s response. The rapper noticed that most of the comments revolved around her perceived pregnancy. She decided to address this sudden rumor, and she suggested that she wasn’t actually pregnant. “Damn,” she wrote. “I can’t be bloated?.” It’s still unclear if the rapper is playing coy with fans or if there was genuine misunderstanding on their part.

Flo Milli Avoided Rumors By Claiming She Was “Bloated”

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

The confusion over Milli’s pregnancy is bizarrely similar to a recent situation involving GloRilla. The latter posted a photo with a very pronounced baby bump, which absolutely melted the brains of fans, as she was in the midst of promoting her debut album. There was also the fact that GloRilla had previously said that she doesn’t want to get pregnant, as it would slow down her career. The pregnancy was cap, like some suspected, but the jury is still out with regard to Flo Milli.

One thing’s for sure, if she is pregnant, fans on Twitter are absolutely beside themselves. They flocked to the app to express their confusion/frustration. Some worried that pregnancy would put a halt to Flo Milli’s rising career. Others were simply baffled that an alleged pregnancy occurred in the midst of Milli’s most high profile year yet. “Flo Milli pregnant,” one user wrote. “Bad b*tches are being taken out one by one.” Another fan put added it to the other dubious events that have taken place in November. “Flo Milli dead wrong for dropping a pregnancy announcement like we needed more bad news this month,” they added. Check out additional Twitter reactions to this pregnancy rumor below!

Chance The Rapper Breaks Silence On Donald Trump’s Election Victory

November 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Chance the Rapper was an artist who was emblematic of the Obama administration. He made his name on charisma and kindness, on wholesomeness and hope. He was repeatedly praised by Obama for his contributions to both music and their shared hometown of Chicago. Chance the Rapper has not had an easy 2020s, however. The release of The Big Day in 2019 effectively killed his career momentum, and he has been quiet in the years since. Chano decided to get on Instagram on November 11, however, and give his two cents on the outcome of the recent U.S. election.

Chance the Rapper did not pen an impassioned plea for unity, or a message detailing his own outrage. Instead, he decided to post photos of legendary African leaders through history. These leaders include Malcolm X, Field Marshall Musa Mwariama and Harriet Tubman among countless others. Most of these leaders are depicted wielding a weapon of some sort, be it a sword or a firearm. It’s a surprising choice coming from a rapper who is both celebrated and reviled for his squeaky clean image. The caption adds to the sense of rebellion emanating from the post. “To the lost,” Chance the Rapper writes.

Chance The Rapper Has Criticized Trump For Years

A post shared by Chance The Rapper (@chancetherapper)

Chance the Rapper’s post was met with confusion by many. Some criticized the rapper for promoting violence that contrasts with the messages in his music. “Fr you that violent?,” one user asked. Another called out Chano for speaking out against Trump, while at the same time being one of the wealthy who will presumably benefit from the politician’s second term. Chance the Rapper has made his dislike for Trump evident since day one, however. Trump thanked Chance for his kind words about Kanye West, who was a huge Trump supporter in 2018, but the rapper was not having it. He quote tweeted Trump’s post and wrote back: “Nah, that ain’t it yo.”

There was a third reaction to Chance the Rapper’s post. Many fans voiced their desire for new music instead of politically-charged IG posts. It’s been half a decade since Chano’s last release, and he has been teasing the release of Star Line since 2022. The feedback to buzz singles like “Together” and “3333” and has been positive, and enough time has passed that fans are curious to hear what new Chance music would even sounds like. Here’s hoping we get it soon.

Doja Cat Sparks Album Excitement By Releasing New Song Titles

November 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Doja Cat is back at it. The singer/rapper has been riding the wave of success brought about by her last album, Scarlet, but now she’s decided to bless fans with something new. At least, the idea of something new. Doja Cat took to social media on November 11 to post a series of unnumbered and unrelated song titles. It was initially confusing, given that none of the titles match up with previously released songs. It then donned on fans that Doja was providing a glimpse of what to expect on her upcoming album.

Pop Crave took a screenshot of the songs in question, which were originally posted on Doja Cat’s IG Story. There were 13 titles listed in total, which is more than enough to constitute an album. Some of Doja’s song titles include: “Crack”, “Break My Heart”, “Cards”, “Acts of Service”, “Turn the Lights” and “Make It Up.” The others listed are: “Take Me Dancing”, “Ain’t News”, “Anything”, “Appreciation”, “Wood Hally”, “Slow Burn” and “Did I Lie.” Doja Cat did not provide context for these songs. She did, however, provide a crucial clue two weeks prior to the release of these titles. She got on social media on October 24 and tweeted one word: “Album.” It’s pretty easy to put two and two together on this one.

Doja Cat Announced Her New Album In October

Doja Cat’s rollout for this new album has already different from the rollout for Scarlet. The artist claimed that she was in an “angry place” while making Scarlet, and wanted the music to speak for itself. She did very little promo for the album as a result. She said as much during a rare Present Space interview. “It’s sort of my ‘Why I oughta!’ moment of squaring up with everyone and defending myself,” Doja explained. “Telling myself that I’m here for me, not just for everybody else’s enjoyment.”

Doja Cat fans were disappointed to learn that Scarlet was snubbed at the 2025 Grammy Awards. The album was not recognized in any of the major categories, despite Doja’s success with the organization in the past. That said, Doja Cat was the recipient of good news on November 9. She surpassed Cardi B and Nicki Minaj to become the most platinum certified female rapper in Billboard history. She has 13 releases that that have gone platinum, with the most recent being “Rules.”
