Earlier this month, Ye and Ty Dolla $ign reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100. Their collaborative, stadium-sounding anthem, “Carnival,” featuring Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti, hit No. 1.

“Carnival” now makes Ye the first rap artist to have a No. 1 in three decades (the 2000s, ‘10s and ‘20s).

According to Luminate, “Carnival” secured the 1,165th No. 1 spot in the 65-year history of the Hot 100. It amassed 33.7 million streams (up 4%), garnered 3.9 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 85%), and sold 3,000 downloads (up 15%) during the tracking week of March 1-7.

With “Carnival,” Ye claims his fifth Hot 100 chart-topper, following hits like Katy Perry’s “E.T.” (featuring Ye), which spent five weeks at No. 1 starting in April 2011, among others. Ty Dolla $ign previously led the Hot 100 for a week in June 2018 as featured on Post Malone’s “Psycho.”

It is the first No. 1 record for Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti.

Additionally, “Carnival” maintains its reign for a second week atop both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, utilizing a similar multimetric methodology as the Hot 100.

Amber Rose Wants Kanye West To Pay Her $20 Million For Inspiring “MBDTF”

March 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Amber Rose had a lot of Ye-related tea to spill during her recent conversation on The Jason Lee Show with its titular host. Moreover, she shared during this interview that she actually didn’t mean what she said about her former partner liking anal stimulation with her fingers. Turns out that was just a way to get at him, but the model does have a particular request for him that could make up for all the hassle. She referenced how she was the Chicago artist’s muse for his critically acclaimed 2010 album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, as they dated during its recording in 2009.

“I should’ve got $20 million for My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. But I got nothing,” Amber Rose remarked. “I should’ve gotten money for the wax figure that he used without my consent. Butt naked! But I didn’t get nothing. I didn’t get any money from anything. I should have been compensated in some way for using my likeness, and so many songs and the wax figure.” The wax figure refers to how Ye used one for his “Famous” music video in 2016.

Amber Rose On Not Getting Credit For Inspiring Ye: Watch

The MBDTF conversation happens around the 38-minute mark of the video above.

In addition, Amber Rose also claimed that she was the one who suggested a Nicki Minaj feature on MBDTF‘s “Monster.” “I don’t think I got credit for that,” she claimed. “I mean, I didn’t do it for credit. And that’s not to take -– Nicki, she’s amazing, when it comes to writing raps. Like, I’ve seen it in person. It’s a sight to see.” Even though the 40-year-old didn’t get much credit for these things, she’s at least been able to forge her own path ahead and overcome this lack of recognition. Sure, she’s dealing with other relationship rumors dogging her at every turn, but it’s a price she’s willing to pay.

Meanwhile, in terms of Rose’s rap relationships, there’s one that stands above all. She and Wiz Khalifa are a great example of how exes can become great friends, co-parents, and supporters of one another. We’ll see if Ye ends up falling in this camp one day. On that note, for more news and the latest updates on him and on Amber Rose, stay up to date on HNHH.

Bianca Censori Goes Braless For Shopping Trip Without Kanye West

March 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A lot of people think that Bianca Censori’s provocative fashion choices are a result of her husband Ye, but it’s clear that she doesn’t need him to turn heads. Moreover, she recently went for some cosmetics shopping with her mother Alexandra in the San Fernando Valley. The former Yeezy architect donned a small pink minidress with no bra, paired with simple heels and slicked-back, tied-up hair. It’s definitely a pretty small and innocuous fit choice compared to her usually revealing, scantily-clad, and more experimental style. But we can’t say we’re surprised at this being a pretty diverse spectrum of Bianca’s own volition rather than the close-minded interpretation you’ll often see in the media.

Furthermore, she’s actually been spending a lot of time with her mother recently, such as hitting up Los Angeles to see Ye and Ty Dolla $ign’s VULTURES “performance.” In fact, Bianca Censori even ran into the Chicago artist’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian at this event. They’ve been seeing a lot more of each other as of late, and it’s great to see that they can keep up an amicable relationship. We don’t know the details of their bond beyond what the cameras show, but considering that Censori’s also spent time with their children, we can hope that things are pretty stable.

Bianca Censori & Ye At Milan Fashion Week

Meanwhile, she and Ye have never been shy about displaying some public affection at these events, such as dancing closely at a private L.A. listening party. Every step of the Yeezy mogul’s way for over a year, Bianca Censori’s been right there by his side through thick and… mostly thick these days. He’s in a lot of public hot water, but it seems like this is one of the few bonds that he always champions and defends lovingly. Sometimes, the rapper’s lyrical references to her don’t match that energy, though, so we’ll see if that changes in the near future.

With all that in mind, what do you think is the next step in this couple’s journey? Will their relationship with paparazzi improve down the line? However you may feel, drop your thoughts in the comments section down below. Also, check out these new pics of Bianca Censori in the “Via” link below. As always, for more news and the latest updates on her and Ye, stick around on HNHH.

Diddy Attends Kanye West’s Rolling Loud L.A. Set With Ty Dolla Sign

March 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ye and Ty Dolla $ign’s Rolling Loud L.A. set this weekend probably wasn’t what many fans expected for a couple of reasons. For one, it was more akin to their VULTURES listening parties than it was to a traditional festival performance, as they didn’t really “perform” anything. Not only that, but another element that surprised a lot of folks is something they found out a couple of days after it went down, and relating to an even larger story in pop culture right now. From what TMZ footage indicates, it seems like Diddy went to this VULTURES event with his family and crew, as footage also emerged of his twin daughters attending Nicki Minaj’s set.

Furthermore, this is interesting considering they are both in controversial, albeit very different, situations when it comes to their public image. Ye is still dealing with a lot of fallout from his antisemitism and the breakdown and volatility of his personal relationships, whereas Diddy faces multiple massive lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault and much more. As such, a lot of people think that they have more reason to link up now. After all, they’ve both spoken on the importance of solidarity and unity, although these circumstances make that sentiment hard to swallow.

Ye & Diddy Performing In 2016

For those unaware, their last public interaction concerned Ye’s scandalous Drink Champs interview in which he expressed antisemitic and anti-BLM views. It notably got a lot of backlash for downplaying and spreading misinformation about the death of George Floyd, and folks called Diddy out for letting it air in the first place. While Revolt took it down eventually, this was a very odd situation given that the two had beefed over these controversial views before. With this in mind, many wondered why Sean Combs would let something like this happen in the first place.

Meanwhile, they’re also both facing issues with their academic institutions, as well as a lot of legal trouble and general public scrutiny. We can only wonder where the two stand on each other right now, and whether they found reason to support each other. It will take a lot from both of them to one day find forgiveness from the media, society, and their fans. See the clips and footage of Diddy at Ye’s show with the “Via” link below. For more news and the latest updates on them, come back to HNHH.

Kanye West Blasts Kai Cenat In Instagram DMS Over His Free “VULTURES” Merch

March 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

After speaking on his relationship with Adin Ross, Ye is entering the circle of another, even more massive streamer: Kai Cenat. But unfortunately for both, it seems like things got off on the wrong foot in a way that might not resolve easily. Moreover, the Chicago artist and his team apparently sent the Bronx native a pack of free VULTURES merchandise, which he was very grateful for and appreciative of. However, he did point out that the sweatpants that they sent him were too large, albeit in quite the animated way. Then, it seems like, the “BURN” MC was not happy at all with this assessment.

“Don’t make no jokes about my clothes,” Ye wrote to Kai Cenat in an Instagram DM that he then shared on his IG Story. “When you ain’t saying nothing about what adidas is doing. When Vultures song came out you ain’t play my verse. You controlled. Don’t play with me.” “wtf I do ?” Kai responded, and the response he got was the clip of him complaining about the size of the pants. “The sweats didn’t fit would you like to hop on a call to explain? I reacted to your verse btw,” the 22-year-old responded. “I ain’t hopping no calls,” the Yeezy mogul clapped back. “You ain’t say nothing about adidas. But you making jokes about my s**t after these people tried to destroy and I’m pulling up out the dirt.”

“I hear you bro but ain’t no jokes was being said when I first opened up that package I showed love instantly,” Kai Cenat replied. “All I did was try on the sweats and it didn’t fit. No jokes made. I immediately asked for a new pair.” “So you ain’t do nothing wrong?” Ye asked him. “So I felt this way for no reason?” “YES,” Cenat responded bluntly. “F**k you n***a,” the VULTURES 2 artist remarked. “You was told to diss my s**t. You a pawn.” “Keep it family friendly no cursing,” the Twitch giant responded. “The pants Don’t Fit YE. You think someone told me something ? I’ll prove you wrong. AHHHH FUCK ADIDASS AHHHHH.”

Then, Kai Cenat got a call from Ye’s manager, John Monopoly. They basically got to know each other a little bit, with Monopoly advocating for a peaceful resolution to this where they can understand each other and offering to be in New York ASAP to meet the streamer personally. While the young social media star was hesitant to meet so quickly, he did reciprocate the sentiment and remark that he will reflect the same energy that they give him. If you want to see his full reaction to all of this (and these messages in real time), check it out here. For more on Ye and Kai Cenat, stick around on HNHH.

Kanye West Admits His Issues With Jesus, Gives Current Thoughts On Faith

March 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ye and Ty Dolla $ign’s recent and rare interview, conducted by the one and only Big Boy, has a whole lot of stuff to unpack. The controversies attached to VULTURES, the music itself, the duo’s future moves in terms of its next installments, and so many more tidbits and caveats. However, one of the most curious parts of the interview was when the Chicago artist was asked about his current relationship with his religious faith. It’s been a pillar of his music since its inception, and Big Boy asked if he feels “comfortable” enough to assert that he’s a man of God, but that he’s focusing on VULTURES.

“It is, but you know, I have my issues with Jesus,” Ye began, with Ty by his side. “It’s a lot of stuff I went through that I prayed, and I ain’t see Jesus show up. So I had to put my experience in this world -– my experience with my children, my experience with other people, my experience with my account, my experience with my brand, and my experience with the level of music that I was dealing with -– in my own hands. Like, a lot of times, I just feel like in our society and America, Christians will depend on Jesus so much that we won’t put the word in ourselves.

Ye’s Current Thoughts On Jesus: Watch

“And the main thing that, really, that I don’t rock with, it’s just always like, ‘I’ma pray for you,’” Ye continued. “And it’s just like, you can actually physically do something yourself, too. More than just praying. And we’re so in this mentality that that’s all that needs to happen, but we ain’t praying our way out of prison. We ain’t praying our way out of the abortion clinics. We ain’t praying our way to get our land back that was always ours. After gentrification, after the Harlem Renaissance and Black Wall Street was burned to the ground. Them prayers ain’t working. We gon’ have to apply actual, physical, building partnerships, and it don’t start unless we can really be real with each other and say, ‘This is what I did, this is what I did.’

“Like, I mean, look at this. I know -– I’m not gon’ third-rail y’all interview, but look at the power of what happened when me and Kyrie was on the same page,” he concluded. “See, that’s what’s scary. But what they do is that they put us each in asylum and say, ‘Your grandmother gon’ lose her crib.’ You know how many threats we’ve been dealt with? And I ain’t pray my way through them threats, either. I had to get up and do it myself. I have so much to do, I ain’t have time to pray. So that’s what my issue is, and look at where I’m at today.” For more news and updates on Ye, stay up to date on HNHH.

Kanye West Claims He Created All Popular Music From The Last 20 Years

March 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

For better or worse, it’s impossible to tell the story of hip-hop, or that of popular music in the 21st century, without mentioning Ye. Although he’s still in a heap of controversy due to his antisemitic remarks and his interpersonal relationships, his impact on music and pop culture is among the most undeniable and enduring of the past few decades at this point. While the Chicago artist has not always used this influence and power responsibly, he’s very cognizant of it. Moreover, he recently sat down with Big Boy for a rare new interview, lining up with a backlash-inducing Rolling Loud L.A. performance with Ty Dolla $ign, who also joined them.

“And of this music game, I am, but not under Lucian,” Ye remarked, likely referencing UMG CEO Lucian Grainge. “You know what I’m saying, I invented every style of music of the past 20 years. I created the genre. I created The Weeknd genre, Trav, Drake… Everybody. I’m gonna go ahead and say, with all love, Future and Thug also. Because the autotune album. 808s, if you think about it. Everybody think about Trav, Weeknd, and Drake, but no one thinks about Future and Thug also. Autotune album. Now everyone, they added what it was to it. But here’s a new genre. It’s called the ‘making your own money‘ genre.”

“I invented every style of music of the past 20 years. I created this genre. I created Weeknd’s genre, Trav, Drake. I’m gon’ head & say it, Future & Thug also. […] It’s called ‘making your own money’ genre.”

Of course, this is pretty undeniable, as Ye changed a lot for hip-hop in the 2000s as far as sound, image, and ethos. That transformation continued throughout the 2010s, and there’s no other artist in hip-hop who’s remained as magnanimous and relevant for three decades… again, for better or worse. As fans still await VULTURES 2, there’s been a lot of debate over whether the 46-year-old still has what it takes musically. Even though there are more important moral and ethical questions to answer concerning his career right now, it’s undeniable that his ability to resonate and create new moments remains untouched.

Meanwhile, do you agree with the “HOODRAT” artist’s assessment of his career? Will the “making your own money” genre make a comeback amid adidas’ losses? However you may feel, drop your thoughts down in the comments section below. Also, for more news and the latest updates on Ye, check back in with HNHH.

Drake Responds to Kanye West’s ‘F–k Drake’ Message with a 50 Cent Meme

March 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In celebrating his new No. 1 single, Kanye West has a run of “fuck you” for his various enemies. Of those are Drake and Adidas.

In the lengthy Instagram caption, Ye wrote: “Rich Ty Carti and the supporters that stood by us through everything This number #1 is for you. It’s for the people who won’t be manipulated by the system and fuck adidas and everybody who works there or with them. Anyone who goes to school with anyone who’s parents work at adidas.”

Later on, he shot at Drake for bringing Lil Durk on tour: “And it’s fuck Drake for taking Durk right at the beginning of the Vultures role out.”

In response, Drake hit Instagram to fire off a response, letting a 50 Cent meme speak for him.

Ye and Ty Dolla $ign have reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100. Their collaborative, stadium-sounding anthem, “Carnival,” featuring Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti, is the new No. 1 single.

“Carnival” now makes Ye the first rap artist to have a No. 1 in three decades (the 2000s, ‘10s and ‘20s).

According to Luminate, “Carnival” secures the 1,165th No. 1 spot in the 65-year history of the Hot 100. It amassed 33.7 million streams (up 4%), garnered 3.9 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 85%), and sold 3,000 downloads (up 15%) during the tracking week of March 1-7.

It is the first No. 1 record for Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti.

Additionally, “Carnival” maintains its reign for a second week atop both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, utilizing a similar multimetric methodology as the Hot 100.

Meanwhile, Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em” slips to No. 5 after two weeks at the Hot 100’s summit, although it continues its dominance atop the multimetric Hot Country Songs chart for a fourth consecutive week.

Royce Da 5’9″ Reveals Grudge Over Kanye West & Big Sean Upstaging Slaughterhouse

March 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

During a recent appearance on The Joe Budden Podcast, Royce Da 5’9″ spoke to its titular host about their rap group Slaughterhouse’s time at SXSW in 2012. They performed for S.O.B.’s 30th anniversary party and were the last show of the night with a lineup that also included 2 Chainz, Machine Gun Kelly, and Big Sean. The latter, Royce’s fellow Detroit MC, brought out Ye to perform “Can’t Tell Me Nothing,” and the crowd went ballistic. Now, Joe and his Slaughterhouse partner recalled how they felt when the G.O.O.D. Music duo (at the time) upstaged them and killed a lot of hype for their performance with something grander that came right before in the form of the Chicago artist.

“I’m still mad at [Ye] about that,” Royce Da 5’9″ shared on the podcast, although not in an overtly serious or combative tone. Him and Joe Budden got around to talking about it when the latter brought it up, and Budden even joked about still having nightmares about it. “I’m mad at Big Sean too,” the podcast’s special guest continued. “He’s the one who brought him out. He was on stage. He f***ing showed me, I’ll tell you that.” For what it’s worth, neither artist seems to hold any true animosity for the Yeezy mogul.

Royce Da 5’9″ Appears On The Joe Budden Podcast: Watch

Their conversation around Big Sean, Ye, and SXSW begins at the two-hour, 14-minute, and 30-second mark (2:14:30).

“Big Sean was up at SXSW, Slaughterhouse was closing… Why?!” Joe Budden told Royce Da 5’9”. “Man, we back there doing our little Slaughterhouse chant. ‘All hands in the middle! Slaughterhouse on three! One, two, three!’ Then from the stage, [we heard], ‘La, la, la, la, wait ’til I get my money right.’ Everybody’s like, ‘Ahhh!’ I said, ‘Give me my hand! I ain’t f***ing with y’all! Y’all cr*zy as hell!’ By the time we went up there, it ain’t look like the same crowd. I was tight.”

To be clear, though, the Bad Meets Evil member isn’t really mad at the Sean Don; they’ve collaborated a lot and have shown each other a lot of respect over the years. “Royce Da 5’9 is a literal big brother, so I gotta go with Royce,” “The Baddest” MC said of his fellow spitter on Drink Champs, picking him over another Detroit legend in Eminem. “Eminem is, like I said, a god MC and a dream come true to work with, but I’ve been in the trenches with Royce for real.” For more news on Royce Da 5’9″, Joe Budden, Big Sean, and Kanye West, stay logged into HNHH.
