Kim Kardashian & Odell Beckham Jr. Spotted In Vegas After Super Bowl Party

February 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kim Kardashian is in Las Vegas with the rest of her family for the Super Bowl today (Sunday, February 11), and they’re far from the only stars there. Moreover, a new video obtained by TMZ is making the rounds on social media, as you can see Kim and Khloé make their way through a busy hotel and try to get into a crowded elevator. It looked pretty chaotic at The Wynn on Saturday night (February 10), but people aren’t talking about that as the hot topic on the gossip train. Rather, they took note of someone ushering Odell Beckham Jr. to join Kim in an elevator, which raised a lot of eyebrows and got a lot of fingertips typing online.

Furthermore, the two are currently the subject of dating rumors, and have been for a while now. In fact, recent reports emerged about them actually seeing each other and considering taking their fling public. Alas, it seems like if these rumors are even true, Kim Kardashian and Odell Beckham Jr. are still pumping the brakes on making things official. With both of their busy schedules and wildly visible public personas, we can’t blame them for wanting to ease into that type of coverage and movement.

Odell Beckham Jr., Kim Kardashian’s Rumored Flame, At The AFC Championship

Of course, the 43-year-old entrepreneur and model has kept her dating life either completely silent or under wraps since her divorce from Kanye West and subsequent split with Pete Davidson. After those instances, we can’t say we blame her at all for wanting to keep things low-key and focus her energies elsewhere. At the same time, Kim Kardashian deserves some happiness and love just like anyone else, and those invested in her story want to see her in a better place. It’s not like she’s doing bad right now, but that success doesn’t fill every void.

But who are we to say Kim has to fill that? If she wants to just live life more casually and keep showing out for her family, then she should enjoy that fruitfully. With all that in mind, we’ll see if this is just another rumor in the mill, or if it manifests into something greater.

Which Song Will Usher Open His Super Bowl Halftime Show With?

February 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Which song will Usher open his Super Bowl Halftime Show with? That’s the question on the lips of many fans as the countdown to tonight’s game in Las Vegas begins. For many fans, including Dolphins star Jalen Ramsey, there is a strong belief that Usher will start things off with “Yeah!”, which he has already confirmed will feature Lil Jon, Ludacris, and T-Pain. Meanwhile, another camp led by the Seahawks D.K. Metcalf, believes that Usher will open with some like “U Don’t Have To Call”. Furthermore, there are those, like the Ravens’ Kyle Hamilton, who think “Burn” will be the first song on the setlist. However, some believe that he might start with “Confessions”.

Usher’s performance will be unique as it is set to be 15 minutes long, as opposed to the traditional 13-minute sets seen at the Super Bowl. “I can’t explain why, but it’s a funny thing that I was able to do and craft. That was a huge strategic thing that happened between me and my agency,” Usher said of the extended runtime. Which song do you think Usher will open his show with? Let us know in the comments.

However, Usher is not the only big-name musician set to perform in Vegas. Reba McEntire will perform “The Star Spangled Banner”, Post Malone will sing “America the Beautiful”, and Andra Day will close out with “Lift Every Voice And Sing” at tonight’s game. Last year’s game featured performances from Chris Stapleton, Babyface, and Sheryl Lee Ralph. Usher’s halftime show will look to outdo an electric (and pregnant) performance from Rihanna.

McEntire is a country legend, with three Grammy wins and 25 Billboard No. 1 singles. Malone is a 10-time Grammy nominee whose albums are 14 times platinum certified. Meanwhile, Day is a Golden Globe-winning, Oscar-nominated, Grammy-winning singer and actress. The trio should provide an electric start to the proceedings. Furthermore, Kaskade will serve as the first “live in-house DJ” for the Super Bowl.

Is Taylor Swift Attending The Super Bowl?

February 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Speculation has arisen that Taylor Swift may be racing to Las Vegas to attend the Super Bowl after a rapid departure from Tokyo, Japan. Swift kicked off the Asian and European leg of her Eras Tour with a quartet of shows in the Japanese capital. However, for many people, this indicated that she would not be in attendance to watch her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, play in the Super Bowl. Despite this, Swift’s departure from Tokyo might indicate she is trying to make it back to the US before tomorrow night.

However, some players aren’t thinking about Swift’s potential impact. Musician, CEO, and 49ers wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud has told TMZ that his focus this Sunday is the Super Bowl, not meeting Swift. “I’m a big fan of greatness. She’s great at what she do. She big time. But, hey, this is football. We don’t care about no album coming out. We don’t care about none of that. Congrats to her on the Grammy thing she did, but we don’t care about none of that, man,” McCloud said.

Meanwhile, Travis Kelce made reference to Taylor Swift‘s Argentina concert lyric change when asked to “finish the lyric” at a Super Bowl press conference. When asked by a reporter to finish the lyric “Karma is the guy on the…”, Kelce said “Chiefs”. While some outlets reported this moment as Kelce getting the lyric wrong, he was actually making reference to the intentional change Swift made to the lyrics of the song for a concert last year.

Of course, Kelce was hit with a lot of questions about Swift, whose presence at the Super Bowl is in question due to her current tour schedule. Swift is performing in Tokyo until February 10, one day before the Super Bowl in Vegas. Swift and Kelce have been publicly together since Week 3 of the NFL season. However, Swift revealed during her TIME Person of the Year interview that they had been dating for at least a month before their first public outing.

Justin Bieber Rumored To Land For Usher’s Super Bowl In Vegas With Kardashians

February 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Super Bowl Sunday is approaching fast this weekend in Las Vegas, and a lot of stars are already there or on the way. Moreover, according to TMZ, it seems like the Kardashians arrived at the city via private jet on Saturday morning (February 10), with Kim, Khloé, and Kendall Jenner walking out of the airplane in bundles. They wore low-profile outfits, but it wasn’t until they reportedly made it to their hotel that people really started getting excited. Out of their van emerged a man with a puffy coat, white beanie, and blue jeans, which many fans theorized could be Justin Bieber, who’s been in heavy rumors as of late about potentially joining Usher as a special musical guest for his Super Bowl halftime show.

Furthermore, this is all still speculative at press time, but it will surely fuel these rumors even more regardless. What’s more is that Justin Bieber is not the only special guest rumored to appear tomorrow for the big game’s mid-way spectacle. Alicia Keys reportedly rehearsed for the big event, so a lot of fans predict that she will surely join Usher onstage. Whether these “surprise” appearances actually manifest, we’re sure it will still be a great show.

In fact, Usher recently spoke of incorporating a roller skating bit from his Vegas residency into his Super Bowl halftime show. “When you think about skating, it’s not just rolling and the music,” he told Access Hollywood. “It’s also to what you wear. It’s how you feel. Somewhere during the pandemic I had this bright idea to just go back to having fun, and that’s what this is. I want to offer the same thing to people who come here to dance, and listen to music, have a few drinks, and just chill out or even get on skates and have a good time. Again, you might fall down but you get back up, but you have fun.”

Meanwhile, we know that Biebs rolling with the Kardashians, if true this time, should be nothing surprising. After all, they have a pretty tight relationship, and they are at about the same level of wild fame. Big names have to stick together, especially for celebrations and events as large as these. With all that in mind, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Usher, Justin Bieber, and the Kardashians.

Kendrick Lamar And Baby Keem Perform In Vegas Ahead Of The Super Bowl

February 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

This weekend, two of the best teams in the NFL are gathering in Las Vegas to play the final game of the football season. But dozens of other celebrities will be showing up in the city to celebrate the big game all weekend. That includes Usher who is performing at the Super Bowl Halftime Show, Post Malone who is singing “America The Beautiful” and numerous high-profile rap and pop artists who are attending and performing at the annual Fanatics party.

Two more artists in attendance are Kendrick Lamar and Baby Keem. They’re in town a few days early and seemingly for an entirely different reason. Kendrick was booked to perform at the F1 Livery Launch overnight and Keem was alongside him for part of the show. It’s unclear if they have any other plans for the big game or will even stick around in Las Vegas all weekend. Check out the video of Kendrick and Baby Keem performing “Family Ties” together in Las Vegas overnight below.

The last time Kendrick Lamar popped up was during Paris Fashion Week. He popped up at a Chanel show where he was again alongside Baby Keem. The show itself used a piece of unreleased Kendrick music to soundtrack it’s runway. They also used another piece of previously hidden music from the rapper to soundtrack a short film released to accompany the show. Unreleased music makes its way into runway shows often but it doesn’t seem like any indication that either track could be coming out soon.

Kendrick Lamar is also continuing to get massive praise for his life shows. Kid Cudi spoke about his new album INSANO during a recent interview. He specifically cited seeing one of Kendrick’s concerts in France as inspiring some of the theatricality of the record. Kendrick himself also spoke on how special the performance was while discussing the live recording that was turned into a movie. What do you think of Kendrick Lamar and Baby Keem linking up to perform together in Las Vegas? Let us know in the comment section below.

Usher Super Bowl Halftime Show Will Be Two Minutes Longer Than Previous Shows, Gets “Hangover” Parody Promo

February 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Usher has revealed that his Super Bowl Halftime Show this Sunday will be 15 minutes long, as opposed to the standard 13 minutes usually allotted for the halftime show. “I can’t explain why, but it’s a funny thing that I was able to do and craft. That was a huge strategic thing that happened between me and my agency,” Usher said of the extended runtime.

Furthermore, Usher told Entertainment Weekly that he sees the Super Bowl Halftime show as the finale of his Vegas residency, which ended its two-year run last year. “I went to Las Vegas with only the belief that people would come because nobody was going anywhere. You have to understand how much of an unwavering belief a person had to have to put together a show after a year of nobody going anywhere and everybody being afraid to be outside for fear of catching COVID or endangering themselves and their families. So the fact that I did that was just truly a matter of belief, and that belief was all positive,” Usher said.

Meanwhile, Usher also joined a stacked cast in Where’s Usher?, a short film from Apple Music to promote his halftime performance. In the 7-minute feature, Ludacris, Lil Jon, and Taraji P. Henson have to track down Usher in Vegas after losing him, a la The Hangover.

Along the way, the trio runs into Anderson.Paak, the Blue Man Group, Wesley Snipes, J. Balvin, Andre 3000’s voice, and “Blanche”. As the short is pretty much a 1:1 parody of The Hangover, it of course ends with the trio finding Usher on the roof of their hotel and they are able to tell Apple CEO Tim Cook that the halftime show can go ahead as planned. It’s a fairly amusing, if crushingly corporate, way to promote the halftime show. However, at the end of the day, “fairly amusing but crushingly corporate” is a pretty fitting description for existence in 2024 so maybe the Super Bowl is simply playing 4D Chess.

Snoop Dogg Recalls Annoying Michael Jackson With His Weed Smoke

January 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that Snoop Dogg loves to smoke pot, but according to him, it doesn’t always sit right with his celebrity friends. During a recent interview with Andy Cohen, he opened up about his relationship with Michael Jackson, recalling a weed-related incident that didn’t go over so well with the King of Pop. Luckily, he says the two of them were like family, so it’s safe to say MJ didn’t hold it against him for too long.

“Me and Mike was family,” he recalled. “His family and my family love each other. We have a record that never came out together. We never had issues… Only issue me and Mike had was we was at, what was that thing? Ed Hardy, Christian Audigier. He had an event in Vegas where they have all the clothes and all of that, so he had performers.”

MJ Told Snoop, “Don’t Do That”

He went on, noting how one oversight was the positioning of his and MJ’s dressing rooms. “He had Michael Jackson perform, Snoop Dogg perform, but where he messed up, he put Michael Jackson’s dressing room right next to Snoop Dogg, so Snoop Dogg is there doing this,” he said, lighting a blunt. “Mm-hmm, and they like, ‘You know, Michael Jackson’s dressing room is next door.’ I’m like, ‘No it ain’t.’ They like, ‘Yeah, [right] there,’ so I’m like, ‘Hold on.’ Open the door.’” He said from there, he exhaled a ton of weed smoke out of the door, but quickly realized that Jackson was right in front of him. “Yeah. He’s right there looking at me. He said, ‘Snoop, don’t do that,’” he recalled in MJ’s tone.

During the interview, Snoop Dogg also revealed that he and Jackson have an unreleased collab somewhere in the archives, though he isn’t sure who has it these days. What do you think of Snoop Dogg’s claim that his weed smoke annoyed Michael Jackson? Are you surprised?

Las Vegas Judge Attacker Deobra Redden In Court Again On Separate Charges After Sentencing

January 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Very few victims have the opportunity to sentence their attackers in court, but on Monday (January 8), Judge Mary Kay Holthus once again came face to face with Deobra Redden while seated comfortably at her bench. 2024 began on a wild note in Las Vegas, as the latter lunged at the former during a court hearing for attempted battery conviction charges last week. The incident led to time spent in isolation, as well as a “2C” inmate classification. This is the most restriction an inmate at Clark County Jail can receive, TMZ reports.

When returning to Nevada court this week, the alleged criminal had guards on each side of him, covers on his hands, and a mesh face mask. Even with the past tension between them, Holthus kept her composure during sentencing. She agreed with prosecutors in giving Redden a 19-48 month sentence for the battery incident. Today (January 9), he’s speaking with a different judge in regard to his latest crimes, for which he’s facing 13 charges.

Judge Mary Kay Holthus Sentences Her Attacker in Las Vegas

According to FOX 5 Vegas, Redden has a long list of felony counts against him. Attempted murder against an older person, battery on a protected person resulting in substantial bodily harm against an older person, and extortion are all named. Elsewhere, prosecutors say the inmate is guilty of unlawful act regarding fluid by a prisoner in confinement, and battery by a probationer or parolee. “In the next few days, my office will be reviewing all of the reports to determine what charges to bring based on Mr. Redden’s behaviour in court,” Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson told the outlet. “We’re reviewing all the reports, the witness statements, the extent of the injuries suffered by persons, certainly felony charges without a doubt.”

The past few months have been particularly busy in the crime world, with the YSL RICO trial, YNW Melly’s impending double murder retrial, and Jonathan Majors’ guilty verdict among topics making headlines. Unfortunately for the Florida native, his day in court has been postponed, meaning he’ll be spending even more time awaiting his fate in a cell. Read the latest on Melly at the link below, and check back later for any updates on the situation in Las Vegas.

Bianca Censori Steps Out In Barely-There Microkini For Birthday Celebrations

January 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bianca Censori opted for a white mini-skirt and black microkini as she and Kanye West stepped out in Las Vegas for her birthday. A video obtained by TMZ showed Censori and Kanye making their way through the Wynn Las Vegas Casino. The outfit Censori chose was very similar to one that Kanye had shared on Instagram earlier in the weekend. However, she chose to go without the dark black jacket that appeared in Kanye’s post. Overall, the outfit was reminiscent of many of the revealing ensembles Censori wore during the couple’s trip to Italy last summer.

Before stepping out in Sin City, Kanye had shared a lengthy message to his wife on Instagram. “Happy birthday to the most beautiful super bad iconic muse. Inspirational talented artist masters degree in architecture 140 IQ loving by my side everyday when half the world turned their backs on me. And the most amazing step mom to our children I love you so much thank you for sharing your life with me,” West wrote alongside a close-up photo of Censori’s face. However, the post was met with fans demanding a release date for the rapper’s new album, Vultures.

Kanye West Instagram Return Concerns Fans

Kanye returned to Instagram in December 2023, having left the platform in April. He announced his initial exit with a screenshot of the account deactivation prompt. Additionally, his decision to deactivate his account came about a month after he was resuspended and proceeded to say he “liked Jewish people” after watching Jonah Hill in 21 Jump Street.

However, not everyone has been a fan of Kanye’s return to the platform. Most of Kanye’s posts on his newly activated account are of Censori in revealing outfits. This has sparked previously raised concerns that Kanye mistreats Censori. In the comments, many people have likened Kanye’s treatment of Censori to playing with a doll. Additionally, many people have argued that the rapper is trying to his wife into a “radicalized Kim Kardashian“.
