Kanye West And Ty Dolla Sign To Perform In Italy: Report

October 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this month, it was reported that Kanye West was planning a massive performance in Italy. Reports at the time suggested that the show would take place at the RCF Arena in Reggio Emilia, however, this hasn’t been confirmed. Now, new reports claim that the show has been scheduled for October 27, with tickets going on sale as soon as today (October 15). Moreover, the show is now set to include Ty Dolla $ign, who Ye’s been working alongside on an upcoming collaborative album.

According to Billboard, a venue for the performance has not yet been revealed. After previewing a version of “New Body” featuring West and Nicki Minaj, Ty Dolla $ign unveiled the track last week. His joint project with the Chicago MC was originally scheduled to drop on October 13, but it was pushed back. Now, they’re reportedly shopping the album around with different distributers. It’s expected to come out in the next few weeks, though an official release date has yet to be announced.

When earlier reports of Ye’s Italy show originally surfaced, it was expected to bring in as many as 80k guests. Obviously, Ye’s a major figure, and is sure to attract fans wherever he goes. With that being said, the idea of the massive event didn’t sit well with some Italian locals. TMZ reported that Italian World War 2 vets weren’t happy with Ye performing in their country, due to antisemitic remarks he’s made in the past. He’s also stated that he “[sees] good things about Hitler.”

Aside from his controversial statements, Ye and his wife Bianca Censori have also attracted a ton of attention throughout their stay in Italy. This hasn’t always been positive attention. They’ve gotten called out for revealing outfits, allegedly engaging in sexual acts in public, and more. What do you think of Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign planning to perform in Italy? Are you looking forward to their upcoming collaborative album? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Kanye West Upsets Veterans In Italy Over Nazi Comments Amid Concert Rumors

October 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West’s stay in Italy over the past few months has been anything but uneventful- for good and bad reasons. Moreover, many are excited about his potential return to new music, with albums on the way and a rumored massive Italy show this week. However, there have also been plenty of instances in which the Chicago MC and his wife Bianca Censori dove further into controversy and questionable behavior. For example, they were banned from a riverboat company for allegedly engaging in oral sex on a trip, and even faced scrutiny from locals and police officials for their revealing outfit choices.

Furthermore, now Kanye West is catching heat from war veterans in Italy who fought Germany and their allies during World War II. This is according to the Daily Mail, but it’s unclear whether these alleged sources that spoke to the outlet are the veterans themselves. In addition, we don’t know if this is supposed to be everything to speak on here, or if they plan to organize and in some way make a call to action. It seems like their main concern is this big concert in the city of Reggio Emilia, so whether it’s a protest or just a statement, they’re not happy.

Kanye West Meeting Donald Trump In 2018

For those unaware, Kanye West made some abhorrent antisemitic comments last year, in which he praised Hitler and expressed a whole lot of other controversial beliefs. As such, veterans reportedly take issue with the fact that about 80,000 people might give the 46-year-old a heightened platform if this concert actually happens. Of course, this is a common sentiment not just throughout Italy in some demographics, but across pretty any place in the entire world where Ye fans exist. But for every person distraught by his behavior, there’s another ready to set it all aside.

On that note, it will be very interesting to see what the public dynamic will be like if the Yeezy mogul comes back. Maybe his statements will take center stage again, or it’ll be a relatively silent drop-off. That seems unlikely, but we’ll just have to wait and see. For more news and the latest updates on Kanye West, come back to HNHH.

On Sunday, October 1st, Ye hosted a private listening event for his new album inside a recording studio overseas in Italy. Via The Sun, it seems Kanye was being Kanye, stating he “yelled and appeared out-of-sorts” during the preview of his new project.

This is the first we hear of new music since his public anti-semitic comments, which drew much backlash from the Jewish community and beyond. While this would seemingly be an exciting moment to share what’s in the vault, sources say Kanye looked a bit crazy during the playback.

Ty Dolla $ign was in attendance for the festivities, with a possible feature on the new album. The two have previously collaborated multiple times, including on Ty$’s song “Ego Death,” released in 2020.

One thing that did not go unnoticed was the absence of Ye’s wife, Bianca Sensori. The two have been attached to the hip, it seems, being photographed left and right whenever they appear in public.

Regardless, day one Kanye fans can only hope that new music is on the horizon!

Kanye West & Son Saint Hit Up Soccer Game In Italy, Bianca Censori Not Spotted

October 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West seems quite busy these days, what with new music reportedly on the way, controversial trademark applications, and his usual relationship gossip. However, it seems like he took a break from all of that- including his wife Bianca Censori– to spend some quality father-son time in Italy on Saturday (October 7). Moreover, they went to the AC Milan versus Genoa soccer game, where they sat in a luxury box. The Chicago MC seemed passively entertained, reportedly checking his phone most of the time according to a Page Six report. On the other hand, Saint West was keen to watch every move.

Furthermore, it seems like it was just the duo that went out, as no photos emerged of Ye’s other children. In fact, it’s been a relatively long time since the media got an update, speculative or otherwise, on Kanye West’s co-parenting with Kim Kardashian. We know that they often link up for their kids’ sports games and other events, but with him overseas now, it’s not often that we see them together. Sure, there’s been a few instances, but it’s at the very least heartening to see the 46-year-old with his loved ones.

In addition, it seems like, if anything, he’s able to see his kids one at a time, or at least that’s what’s happened as of late. For example, North West was seemingly Kanye West’s only kid to attend his birthday party back in June, which made headlines for its sushi displays on naked models lying down. At least she was able to meet Bianca Censori in person that time, and no one knows just what their family relationships as a whole are like. There’s been a lot of rumors about it coming from unconfirmed sources, but things remain tight-lipped from the primary witnesses.

Meanwhile, hopefully this is a sign of the West-Kardashian clan’s healing and slow but steady amicable state. A nasty divorce process has deep effects, especially one that the Yeezy mogul decided to make a very public affair. With all that in mind, we’ll see how this all evolves alongside his career. For more news and updates on Kanye West, check back in with HNHH.

Kanye West Preparing Massive Concert In Italy Next Week: Report

October 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

After a lot of teasing, secret fashion shows, wild fits, leaked footage, and so much more, it looks like we might be getting a big finale to Kanye West’s rollout for his new album (or albums?). Moreover, according to a report from an Italian news site, he’s planning a massive concert in Reggio Emilia, Italy for next Friday (October 13). However, the report states that if the team needs more time, then the show might take place the following Friday (October 20). Of course, this report is highly speculative and is based on a theory from venue activity, but it all seems pretty reasonable considering who we’re working with.

For example, staff at the Rcf Arena is hard at work setting up a grand stage for what rumors say is a last-minute performance. The details of this work haven’t been confirmed by anyone, least of all the Chicago rapper himself. Still, the massive preparations, short-notice timing, and the size of the venue itself hints at only a big name like Kanye West being able to pull it off. In addition, there’s already a lot of speculation surrounding new music- and antics- from him that’s ramped up considerably over the past few weeks.

Kanye West Reportedly Performing In Italy Soon

Furthermore, this should all sound familiar to any die-hard fan of the 46-year-old, or even people who know about him in passing. Kanye West album rollouts are notoriously chaotic, not very organized time-wise, and usually come packed with a lot of extracurriculars like leaked footage, beef with other artists, and public controversies. Regardless of all that, though, fans don’t get any less excited when they see things going wild. In fact, it’s what probably gets a lot of them even more amped up.

Meanwhile, that last statement is more of a stretch than ever these days. Ye is in deeper waters than ever from a musical, artistic, social, relationship, and personal perspective. While this is all exciting for listeners, many wonder whether this will continue past trends or break cycles of controversy and harm that he perpetuated for the past year or so, if not longer. Just like anything else Yeezy-related, we’ll never know until we know. For more news and the latest updates on Kanye West, stay posted on HNHH.

Kanye West Spotted At Milan Starbucks

October 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West was seen enjoying a beverage at a Starbucks in Milan this week. Ye was spotted sipping from his drink and even appeared unbothered as a fan filmed him from across a table. As has become tradition for Ye in the past few weeks, he wore a face covering in an attempt to go unnoticed. Attention will only likely grow for West as his next album is reportedly on the way. Some fans believed he was going to drop it this week following a Drake diss track. However, that did not end up being the case.

West and his wife (more than on that in a moment) Bianca Censori appear to have made Italy their home base. The couple has spent the past few months in the country. This is despite accusations of breaking anti-terror law, calls to have them deported for lewd acts, and Italy’s far-right government’s general opposition to foreign residents. West has left Italy several times, such as attending a concert in Ireland and an art gallery in Germany. However, he always returns to Italy.

Furthermore, West has now reportedly officially married Bianca Censori. Documents obtained by the Daily Mail show that West and Censori were wed under a confidential license in California in December 2022. Their marital home, at the time, was listed as West’s ranch in Wyoming.

However, the news also came with disturbing allegations. The claims were made by LBC, a British radio network. “Kanye has a set of rules for Bianca, which includes never speak and wear what he wants her to wear. She is also required to eat certain food items and to work out even though Kanye doesn’t work out. She has no mind of her own anymore and obeys him because he has convinced her that they are royal,” sources claimed. This appears in line with claims made by Censori’s former friends. They have previously alleged that the architect and model had been “radicalized” by West.

Kanye West Gets Emotional Playing New Album At Italian Listening Party: Report

October 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West reportedly premiered a new album at a listening party in Italy, over the weekend, according to The Sun. A source for the outlet says Ye “yelled and appeared out-of-sorts” while previewing the new music. It will mark his first album since Donda 2 as well as the first since making various antisemitic comments in 2022.

“At times, Ye seemed to have fun, but at other points he looked completely out-of-whack while playing it,” the outlet reported. Ty Dolla Sign, who appears to have a collaboration with West on the effort, was in attendance. Ye’s wife, Bianca Censori, on the other hand, was not. No further details on the project have been announced.

The Sun also shared photos that allegedly stem from the listening event. In one of them, Ty Dolla Sign can be seen behind West as he gets emotional. Check out those images at the “Via” link at the bottom of the page.

News of the listening party comes amid numerous leaks out of Kanye’s camp over the weekend. Many of them stem from an unreleased documentary filmed back in 2018. In clips from the piece, Ye targets both Pusha T and Nas for not being appreciative enough of his work on their albums Daytona and Nasir. Moreover, Ye also targeted Cardi B for being an “Illuminati plant.” At one point in the documentary, Kanye even speaks candidly about his relationship with Kim Kardashian. “I feel like my wife does believe in me, but she has a tendency to focus on the negative,” he said. “And she’ll call me ‘crazy’ and say ‘you’re ramped up’ more than she’ll say ‘you’re a genius.’ Like I get ‘you’re crazy’ a lot more than ‘you’re a genius.’ And it’s from this person that has an opening in my heart. Because, I close my heart to people when they start being too negative.” Be on the lookout for further updates on new music from West on HotNewHipHop.

Kanye West’s Face Mask Is “Breaking Italian Anti-Terror Laws”: Report

September 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West has no shame in pushing boundaries, but as of late, Europeans appear to be fed up with his fashion choices. The father of four is already under investigation for exposing his bare bottom while on a boat ride in Italy, and his wife, Bianca Censori, continues to attract near-constant criticism for leaving little to the imagination in her sheer outfits. Ye and his other half haven’t spoken out publicly about the situation, however, they continue to shamelessly cause a stir.

The “Stronger” hitmaker was most recently out and about at Milan Fashion Week. There, he continued his pattern of covering up his face in an intricately wrapped t-shirt. The unconventional look is certainly convenient to help West keep a low profile, but according to DailyMail, authorities are taking issue with his latest look too. “Under anti-terror and public order legislation wearing anything that ‘hampers an individual’s identification’ is illegal and punishable by a maximum fine of up to 2,000 Euros,” the outlet noted on Sunday (September 24).

Kanye West Attempts to Lay Low at Fashion Week

Besides his appearance at Fashion Week, Yeezy has also donned similar face coverings in the cities of Venice and Florence. The former is where he and Censori are in hot water with police for being caught in a “compromising position” in a water taxi. At the time, the Australian was kneeling in front of her husband, leading some to assume they were taking their PDA a bit too far.

Kanye West has apparently been putting in work on his next album for some time now. Still, no official details on the project have come out for his fans. Thankfully for those hungry for unreleased music from the 46-year-old, his DONDA: With Child visual album surfaced online earlier this month, complete with a handful of previously unheard songs. Tap into that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Kanye West & Bianca Censori Attract Massive Crowd In Italy Thanks To Impromptu Photoshoot

September 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West and Bianca Censori are two people who are always making headlines. Overall, their relationship has led to a whole lot of scrutiny as of late. A lot of this has to do with the reports of Censori’s friends issuing warnings about Kanye. Some of them believe that he is controlling her and wants to turn her into Kim Kardashian. Although Censori has effectively told those friends to “buzz off,” there is still a lot of concern as it pertains to exactly what’s going on.

If you have been paying attention to these two, then you would know that Ye has mostly been in Italy with Censori. The two have gotten up to a whole bunch of antics while in Europe, and they always seem to make headlines. However, the two do not seem to mind. When you consider what Ye was making headlines for in the past, it becomes clear that this is a welcomed change. Regardless, the people of Italy seem to be fascinated with them, and that fascination continued recently.

Kanye West & Bianca Censori Cause A Stir

A post shared by Our Generation Music (@ourgenerationmusic)

A great example of this happened this past week. In a post from Our Generation Music, you can see Kanye and Censori in Italy, Florence more specifically. As you can see, Ye goes to take photographs of Censori in the middle of the street. It is all quite bizarre considering how impromptu it is. However, the citizens were very curious and excited as they all gathered around to take a peak. Fans were right behind Censori as she posed awkwardly for Ye’s camera. Despite the crowd, Ye continued to do as he always planned.

At this point, who knows what these two will get up to next? If anything, it is crystal clear that they don’t mind stirring the pot overseas. Let us know what you think of all this, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will always keep you informed.
