Kodak Black Learns How To Make Pizza

August 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It was reported earlier this weeks that Kodak Black is on vacation in Italy. With that being said, his lawyers are currently battling it out in court for the rapper, who’s facing drug charges. Despite the legal drama back at home, Kodak seems to be enjoying himself on the getaway. This is showcased in a recently-surfaced clip of him trying his hand at Italian cuisine. In the clip, he appears to be joined by a couple of Italian chefs, who guide him along in the process of making a pizza.

He’s seen giving the Italian language his best shot, and even putting a silver chain around the neck of one of the chefs. They move through each step, from kneading the dough to removing the pizza from the oven, allowing Kodak to do the honor of cutting into it. The trio appears to be in great spirits, chatting, laughing, and even hugging it out and thanking each other at the end.

Some have been criticizing Kodak Black for living it up in Italy amid his legal battle. Others, however, are just happy to see him doing well. Earlier this month, it was reported that the artist had checked into a hospital on a stretcher. This sparked a lot of concern among fans, for obvious reasons. An alleged clip of him being rolled in hit the internet, and he wasn’t looking too good. It’s unclear what exactly the 26-year-old could have been hospitalized for, however, some speculate that it involved substance use.

He’s also been making headlines for his recent collab with 6ix9ine and Yailin la Mas Viral, “Shaka Laka.” He got some pushback for the project, as 6ix9ine has been famously labeled a “snitch.” Boosie Badazz perpetually roasted the rapper, even go so far as to claim he has “no morals” and “no principles.” Boosie’s notorious for going in on alleged “rats,” so it’s no surprise that he had a strong opinion.

Ex-Kanye West Employee Claims Barefoot Pictures From Italy Are A PR Stunt

August 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West and his partner Bianca Censori have been spotted all over Italy in recent weeks. In many of the instances, West has been seen without footwear. This has included dinner at an upscale hotel, a visit to a gelato shop, and even an ill-fated Travis Scott concert. Their barefoot escapades have even extended to a visit to a fabric factory in Prato East.

However, is there meaning to the shoeless choice? Yes, according to one former Kanye employee. Jason Lee is currently the host of Hollywood Unlocked. However, he also spent seven months working as Kanye’s Head of Media and Partnerships until he quit last October. To Lee, the barefoot trend is nothing more than a PR stunt.

Is Kanye Looking To Make Himself Relevant Again?

“I think the fact that people are talking about Kanye’s feet shows just how much power he still has in the wake of cancel culture. He continued, “I think it’s a smart and strategic move. I wouldn’t be surprised if the next time we saw shoes on his feet it would be a project that he designed,” Lee told Page Six. This idea that Kanye is trying to prove that he is bigger than his canceling. This comes amid reports that Kanye is getting another chance on Twitter. He is also reportedly making a “fashion” comeback.

“Kanye who hasn’t rejoined the platform yet but is planning to do so will operate within the very specific policies that we have established that we’re clear on and everyone listening on Spaces can access themselves. We also have to remember what’s at the core of free expression. You might not agree with what everyone’s saying. We want to make it a healthy debate and discourse but free expression at its core will really only survive when someone you don’t agree with says something you don’t agree with… So deciding certain people are good or bad are not a universal thing,” Twitter CEO Linda Yaccarino said in a statement that showed a distinct lack of understanding of the core principles of free expression.

Jennifer Lopez Sports A White Bikini On Vacation In Italy

August 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Last month, Jennifer Lopez celebrated her birthday in style. The multi-media megastar took to Instagram to show off the views from her party. The pictures included Lopez singing while standing on a table and sporting a gorgeous bikini in a locale that’s just as gorgeous. A few days later full video of Lopez enjoying herself while singing on a table hit the internet and delighted fans. The party took place at her mansion but it wasn’t the only luxurious place she hit to celebrate her birthday.

This week Jennifer Lopez took a vacation to a luxurious Italian getaway. While there, Page Six caught some videos of Lopez getting sun in a very slim white bikini. The 54-year-old is clearly not shy about showing skin but she also brings a level of glamour to all of it. Overnight she also posed for some pictures to promote her new alcohol brand. She posed alongside some incredibly refreshing looking spritzers for a trio of pics on Instagram. “Back in my element,” the post’s caption reads.

In the comments of her Instagram post, Lopez once again dealt with questions from fans over her alcohol brand. She has long been public about her own sober mentality, but apparently that wasn’t necessarily the case. She’s since clarified that while she doesn’t drink often, she does occasionally drink socially. What even more fans have problems with is her partner Ben Affleck’s long history of alcoholism. In response Lopez insisted that she keeps her business entirely separate from the pair’s personal life.

Lopez and Affleck appear to still be on the same page. For Father’s Day Lopez shared an absolutely spicy picture of Affleck to Instagram. While some fans honed in on his body, others asked why she chose a thirst trap to celebrate Father’s Day. What do you think of J-Lo sporting a thing white bikini in Italy at 54 years old? Let us know in the comment section below.

Kodak Black Enjoys Italy Vacation While His Lawyer Goes To Court Hearing

August 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kodak Black is no stranger to legal trouble, and it seems like that experience has numbed him to the court setting. Moreover, his attorney Bradford Cohen recently attended a status hearing in on the Florida rapper’s drug case in Broward County according to a Local10.com report from Friday (August 11). While the court did not require Yak to attend physically, Cohen still let them know of his whereabouts during his time at the hearing. Apparently, Kodak was “enjoying himself” on a boat in Italy, specifically Capri. Considering how much this particular case has lasted, it’s understandable that he would want some space to breathe, as much as that process has been mostly his doing.

Furthermore, the hearing relates to a June arrest for failing to submit a drug test, which was part of his pretrial release terms. Authorities initially arrested Kodak Black back in July of 2022 for oxycodone trafficking, controlled substance possession, and expired driver’s license and tags. After this run-in, they released him on $75,000 bond, and officials issued a warrant for his arrest in February for failing to submit the drug test. Eventually they caught him in June for similar charges, and released him on $175,000 bond.

In addition, the judge in this case allowed for the 26-year-old to spend 30 days in a rehab facility to work on his struggles. Even though Kodak Black is assumedly having a great time overseas, this comes shortly after many fans voiced concern for his health and sent him well-wishes following a scary scenario. The Pistolz & Pearlz MC was reportedly stretchered into a hospital, based on a video on social media that seems to depict him entering the premises. It seems like things got better quickly, so hopefully Kodak is enjoying the best health possible during his trip.

Meanwhile, it’s unclear exactly how much longer he will have to reckon with these legal roadblocks. Whether it’s release term renegotiations or actually following up on these, there will likely be more updates in this case soon. After all, one would think that he would go to court as a final goodbye if it was wrapping up soon. On that note, stay up to date on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Kodak Black.

60 Fans Reportedly Injured Following Travis Scott’s Rome Performance

August 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Travis Scott brought his new album, UTOPIA, to Rome earlier this week. After being originally scheduled to perform at the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt near the time of the LP’s release, the date was ultimately canceled. He assured fans the Pyramids show will happen eventually. In the mean time, however, he announced a show at Rome’s Circus Maximus for this Monday (August 7). As expected, the performance brought in a massive crowd of somewhere around 60K fans. 60 of those fans, however, were reportedly injured and in need of medical treatment after the show.

Obviously, Travis is under a microscope following the 2021 Astroworld tragedy, which sadly cost 10 attendees their lives. Luckily, nobody at the Rome performance was gravely injured as far as we know. Euronews reports that one 14-year-old tried to bypass security and sneak in to the show, leading him to fall four-metres from an unnamed structure. Apparently, another person in the crowd was also pepper sprayed, and the incident of course led to chaos in the surrounding area.

It’s unclear exactly what type of injuries were reported, or how severe they were. The day after the performance, Travis Scott reacted to some footage of him performing on social media. He claimed it made him do “60 back flips.” It’s clear that both he and the audience were feeling it, after eagerly awaiting UTOPIA for so long.

The performance also featured a surprise-appearance from Kanye West, who took the stage to perform a couple of songs. He performed “Can’t Tell Me Nothing,” and then they both performed their collab together, “Praise God.” “There is no UTOPIA without Kanye West,” Travis told the crowd. “There is no Travis Scott without Kanye West, there is no Rome without Kanye West.” On stage, he also reportedly dubbed Ye the “greatest of all time.”

One wrote: “This reminds me of when you did Goosebumps for the first time at Made In America 2 days after Birds came out and everyone knew the words. A hit record otw.” Another added: “Utopia is not the album of the year but the album of life button.”

Other fans reflected on Kanye West’s surprise appearance at the concert. “Watching you perform with Kanye last night is one of the best things I’ve ever seen!!!” one commented. While welcoming West to the stage, Scott labeled him the greatest of all time. “There is no ‘Utopia’ without Kanye West, there is no Travis Scott without Kanye West,” Scott said. “There is no Rome without Kanye West. Make some noise for Ye.” On stage, the two performed Kanye’s songs, “Praise God” and “Can’t Tell Me Nothing.” All-in-all, the setlist for the show included “Hyaena,” “Thank God,” “Modern Jam,” “Aye,” “Sirens,” “Praise God (with Kanye West),” “Can’t Tell Me Nothing (with Kanye West),” “My Eyes,” “Butterfly Effect,” “Highest in the Room,” “Delresto (Echoes),” “Lost Forever,” “Mafia,” “I Know ?,” “No Bystanders,” “Fe!n,” and “Topia Twins,” as noted by Pitchfork. Check out Scott’s post regarding the concert below.

August 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Travis Scott brought out Kanye West in Rome for a surprise performance during his concert in the Italian city on Monday night. In doing so, Scott reportedly labeled West the “greatest of all time” while welcoming him to the stage.

“Make some noise for the greatest of all time, Kanye West,” Scott told the audience. He added: “There is no UTOPIA without Kanye West, there is no Travis Scott without Kanye West, there is no Rome without Kanye West” From there, the show diverged from Utopia as Ye performed “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” as well as his collaboration with Scott, “Praise God,” from the 2021 album, Donda.

Kanye West Goes Barefoot While Bianca Censori Goes NSFW In New Italy Pics

August 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It’s been a busy few days for Kanye West and his wife Bianca Censori, though that might be because of all the paparazzi snaps we’ve gotten. Moreover, they’ve been traveling a lot all over the globe. Their latest stop was in Italy, where they dressed scantily for the heat and, most recently, posed for some cute pictures together. Much like their last public outing (it might even be the same one), the Yeezy head honcho wore a black jacket with no shirt and matching pants- and with no shoes on either. On the other hand, the former Yeezy architect wore a see-through sheer blue jumpsuit with high heels and a beige cap.

Furthermore, it’s yet another instance of their eye-catching and often revealing style choices over the past few months. It’s unclear what they’re up to around the world, though; is this just vacation time or are they hitting meetings left and right? Either way, Kanye and Bianca seem to be having a great time together, smiling and showing each other some PDA in these new pics. In fact, it’s one of the few times we’ve seen them explicitly pose for public pictures rather than just catching them mid-walk or conversation.

Bianca Censori & Kanye West’s New Italy Pics

Throughout their travels, they’ve sometimes matched the energy of their outfits to their activities. As a contrary example, Kanye West and Bianca Censori went on a Hollywood bus tour around Rodeo Drive, which isn’t all too enticing. However, when they were around Tokyo, they went to an adult toy store as the Chicago MC donned a face mask. They might not be up to much on the surface, but with all the buzz around them, any sighting is an event.

Meanwhile, that buzz is made even more potent amid rumors of new music from the Donda artist. Unfortunately, that hype could come at the cost of his most recent public controversies falling to the wayside. At least the couple has each other, and hopefully they’ve reflected on the situation and focused their efforts inwardly. For more news and the latest updates on Kanye West and Bianca Censori, come back to HNHH.

Kanye West & Wife Bianca Censori Leave Little To The Imagination Out In Tuscany

August 5, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West and Bianca Censori have been together for about eight months now, and it feels like they’ve traveled the globe in that time. Whether it’s outings around the states, Europe, or Asia, the couple has gone all over, with paparazzi following them almost every step of the way. Of course, it doesn’t help their sense of privacy that they decide to wear some eye-catching fits on their travels. On Saturday (August 5), Ye and Bianca went around Tuscany, and the Chicago rapper wore a black jacket with no shirt and matching long pants. Moreover, his (ceremonious) wife donned a sheer cream leotard and a brown toque.

In fact, they weren’t alone this time, as they walked around with a friend in grey sweatpants and top. From what paparazzi were able to snag, it’s unclear what they were doing walking around the town, but there were smiles all around. Both are pretty tight-lipped about their relationship, as they don’t speak to the media or post anything on their socials. That might change now that Kanye West got his Twitter back and deleted all his posts, but if it does, how much longer will it be before he lands back in hot water?

Regardless, at least the two are just enjoying their time together and hopefully taking some time to calm down and reflect as well. They don’t let anything get in the way of that, even coarse pavement and grass. During another pap-snapped outing around Italy, Kanye West and Bianca Censori walked around barefoot, adding to the long list of their uniquely strange fashion choices. At this point, it’s more exciting to see what they wear rather than what they do or where they go.

Meanwhile, amid rumors of new music, we’ll see how much more Kanye and Bianca pop up around the world. Many fans hope that the Yeezy mogul will return to releases despite all his controversies and fallout with public favor. Still, he has his wife by his side, and all we can hope is that they’ve filled a void for each other and aren’t just going through the motions. On that note, stick around on HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Kanye West and Bianca Censori.

Kanye West & Bianca Censori Abandon Footwear, Go Barefoot In Italy

August 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West has been seen in public quite a bit as of late. He is typically seen right next to his new wife, Bianca Censori. These two have had quite a relationship so far and while they have only been together for a short while, they seem quite happy. Overall, she has stood by Kanye during his biggest scandals. The Anti-semitism arc from last year was quite shocking. However, Censori remains by his side, through thick and thin. In fact, they are currently vacationing in Italy where they have been photographed extensively.

This is an interesting time for Kanye to be in Europe. As it stands, Adidas is in the midst of a massive Yeezy restock that will likely bring him quite a bit of cash. Moreover, Travis Scott’s album Utopia has numerous Kanye leftovers on it. This has a lot of people up in arms, although others are just happy to have these songs on the record. Furthermore, Scott is going to perform at the Circus Maximus on Monday, and there is a belief that Kanye could be there.

During this trip to Italy, Kanye West and his wife were photographed with some interesting footwear. In fact, it is probably better to say they were photographed without footwear. Yes, that’s right, the man behind Yeezy has completely abandoned shoes. In images seen at the Via link below, Kanye and Censori can be seen roaming the streets of Italy barefoot. The streets aren’t exactly the cleanest place in the world, however, Ye doesn’t seem to mind.

Ye’s sneaker progression has led to less and less materials. Now, he isn’t wearing shoes at all. You can’t help but admire the vision, even if it isn’t super clean. Let us know what you think of this new style, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.
