Lil Kim Puts Her Twist On Lil Uzi Vert’s “Just Wanna Rock” Dance At Lovers & Friends

by

Of course, the biggest story surrounding the Lovers & Friends Festival surrounds its host Usher’s alleged scuffle with Chris Brown. However, that doesn’t mean that there weren’t excellent performances at the event all around, such as Lil Kim. Moreover, the hip-hop icon graced the stage on Saturday (May 6) with a rundown of some of the most iconic points in her catalog. Still, she made some time to shout out the newer generation and add her own twist to it. At one point during her set, she danced along to Lil Uzi Vert’s massive hit “Just Wanna Rock.”

However, not every fan was happy with the performance, or reacted to it with the same enthusiasm. While many applauded her for doing her thing and having fun while doing so, others came through with more criticism, pointing out her dance moves or her body. Unfortunately, it’s pushback that Lil Kim always dealt with throughout her career, and brushed off each time. Whether it’s her legal issues or her place in the culture, the 48-year-old still garners a lot of conversation and discussion on her legacy.

Lil Kim Just Wants To Rock At Festival Performance

In fact, more recent teases point to that legacy facing off against another in a big way, especially considering past beef. Furthermore, Swizz Beatz recently led fans to believe that a Verzuz battle between Lil Kim and Nicki Minaj would be coming soon. “I can’t say, I can’t say,” he responded to questions on The Breakfast Club about the potential matchup. “So there’s still a possibility?” DJ Envy inquired. “Yeah, I can’t say. I can’t say,” the producer replied. “But just know if you’re going to wait this long for Verzuz, if we gone have you wait this long, it’s definitely going to be worth it. If I’m being quiet, things are happening. It was important for us to take a break and organize what we have and actually understand what we have.”

Meanwhile, the “Crush On You” MC will share her story on Audible’s hip hop series coming this summer. With that in mind, perhaps she’s now in a place where she wants to celebrate and look back on her illustrious career. Be it through a Verzuz matchup or another dance homage to a contemporary hit, her name is here to stay. Regardless, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Lil Kim.

Lil Durk Posts Mystery Woman On IG, Says He’s Got To Drop Before Lil Uzi Vert

by

Lil Durk is setting a challenge for himself a week before his next album Almost Healed drops on May 12. However, he also took the chance to tease fans’ curiosity in the process, specifically in regards to his romantic life. Moreover, the Chicago rapper took to Instagram to share some pictures on his jewelry and a picture with a mystery woman. All we can see of her are her hands as she takes a mirror picture with Durk holding her. In the post’s caption, he even shouted out Lil Uzi Vert and hinted that they’ll be dropping very soon, too.

“I gotta hurry up and drop before uzi fxckkkkkkkkkkkk hold on I’m almost healed,” Lil Durk wrote in his post’s caption. As such, a lot of Uzi fans are probably feeling quite excited themselves, as this might mean that they’re dropping something next week, too. Still, it might just be the “AHHH HA” MC fanning the flames of speculation and hype around Uzi’s next move. For what reason, we don’t know yet, but Durkio’s always been one to talk about his peers in the game.

Lil Durk Teases Lil Uzi Vert Drop- And A Potential New Flame

Despite that precedent, he recently kept his mouth sealed when answering a question about his rumored reconciliation with NBA YoungBoy. “What beef? Who?” he replied to a reporter who caught him on the street and asked about the beef. While that squashing saw no legitimate confirmation from either artist, at least Lil Durk liked a post on Twitter talking about the beef ending. Such news came from DJ Akademiks and came with a grain of salt for many online. Regardless, hopefully such rumors are true and contribute to both their artistic journeys in meaningful ways.

Meanwhile, between wanting a SZA collab and tapping J. Cole for a collab and music video, it seems like Smurk is continuing that collaborative spirit. Fortunately, fans will hear how it manifests into Almost Healed very soon, yet that mystery woman still caught many’s eye. A lot of people think that it’s his ex India Royale, but others think that there’s something else going on. Regardless, stick around on HNHH for the latest updates and news on Lil Durk.

Lil Uzi Vert, Or Leslie Chow, Says They’re “Here To Get Money,” Not “Be A Model”

by

Lil Uzi Vert, or rather Leslie Chow, took to their Instagram Story to address some of the haters of their new personality once again. Moreover, the rapper got a lot of clowning and criticism for debuting a new look and alter ego during their stint at Rolling Loud Thailand. However, in classic Uzi fashion, they’re not letting any of that negativity affect them in the slightest as they keep making moves. “I didn’t come here 2 be a model,” the “That’s A Rack” MC wrote on their social media. “I came here 2 get money f**k looking good I look rich …… it is what it is Leslie Chow,” adding a heart emoji.

Of course, this isn’t the first time that Lil Uzi Vert addressed people hating on their new persona. “Chow understand people always don’t like ways of Chow,” they wrote in a previous Instagram Story post. Also, it confirmed that the namesake for Leslie is Ken Jeong’s character in The Hangover. “But Chow don’t give af Chow rich and never look back ….. Suck my monkey tail LESLIE OUT.” Also, Uzi has more people on their side to defend them against the hate train.

Lil Uzi Vert Isn’t Here To Look Pretty

Furthermore, JT chimed in on social media to not only stand by Lil Uzi Vert’s style, but her own. “One thing I love about JT, she always gonna step behind the people she love,” a fan tweeted concerning the City Girl’s defense. “It’s just sad when the energy not reciprocated.” However, she wasn’t playing around, and didn’t even take backhanded compliments lightly. “B***h shut uppppppp, you don’t even know me to care if energy is reciprocated,” she tweeted. “Go make sure your family straight. Get off the internet, fake caring about strangers ’cause Idgaf about you!!!!!!”

Meanwhile, the couple even got in trouble with another rap couple: Finesse2Tymes and his girl. The conflict arose when JT compared an ugly baby to the Memphis rapper, and his boo came quick to clap back. “JT, WHO MAN YOU CALLING UGLY?” she posted on her IG Story. “HAVE YOU SEEN YOURS?” Even though it’s not the nicest situation, it’s always cute to see couples defend each other. Let’s just hope that Leslie Chow gets the respect they deserve- and the others involved, too, for that matter. Regardless, log back into HNHH for the latest on Lil Uzi Vert.

Lil Uzi Vert Addresses Leslie Haters

by

Lil Uzi Vert recently turned heads yet again when they debuted a new alter ego, Leslie, at Rolling Loud Thailand. Unfortunately, the androgynous moniker and personality didn’t get the best reception from fans and media online, or at least the hate was enough to warrant a response from Uzi. Moreover, they recently took to their Instagram Story to stand by the new identity and to defend their new look and style. Of course, the Philly icon is always one to subvert, change their flow, and make headlines for their art in all of its facets.

“Chow understand people always don’t like ways of Chow,” Lil Uzi Vert posted on their Instagram Stories on Wednesday night (April 19). Furthermore, that confirms that Leslie is a reference to Leslie Chow, a character in the film The Hangover portrayed by Ken Jeong. It’s an unsurprisingly eccentric point of inspiration that’s as tongue-in-cheek as it is challenging. “But Chow don’t give af Chow rich and never look back ….. Suck my monkey tail LESLIE OUT.” It was a succinct and quick response, which actually differs from the more thoughtful and elaborate reflections Uzi offered on topics like sobriety.

Lil Uzi Vert Defends Leslie

Regardless of their new namesake, many in the industry clowned Lil Uzi Vert for the announcement, whether lightly or insensitively. For example, Nicki Minaj suggested that they looked like her in the “Bedrock” music video, which is a light and generally harmless jab. However, people took more issue with people like Karlae responding in the comments on Uzi’s post with laughing emojis. Even though that seems harmless as well, it’s a fine line to walk when other bigoted people have an issue with this new identity. As such, many felt like this was an indication of people not taking Uzi seriously.

Meanwhile, JT recently blasted people criticizing her and Lil Uzi Vert’s style, defending her boo. Through replying to detractors on Twitter, she asked people to stop making so many assumptions and criticisms of their choices. After all, their movement and artistic choices are for nobody else but them. Still, both artists have a lot more on the horizon when it comes to their careers that makes these criticisms moot in the long term. With that in mind, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Lil Uzi Vert.

Lil Uzi Vert & Pete Davidson On “SNL” Might Make Kanye West Angry

by

Of course, this is all just speculation and Internet gossip, but it’s still quite an interesting question to consider. Moreover, recent reports suggested that Pete Davidson would return to SNL this year to host, about a year after having left as cast member. After a few days of speculation, the long-running sketch comedy show confirmed the news. Also, they billed Lil Uzi Vert as its musical guest for the evening. However, that news also caused a lot of people to realize that there’s one celebrity that links these two figures together. It’s none other than Kanye West, and now some fans probably wonder how Ye feels about all this.

For those unaware, Kanye and Uzi go way back. Most recently, they actually got matching tattoos with Steve Lacy. Said picture went viral for the crazy link-up between these three creatives. Also, the two were featured guests on Travis Scott’s “Watch,” a single from 2018 that preceded much of the hype for the then-unreleased ASTROWORLD. As such, many wonder if the Chicago MC will have a tense reaction to the “Just Wanna Rock” star being billed alongside his ex-wife Kim Kardashian’s ex-boyfriend.

Will Kanye West Be Mad At Lil Uzi Vert Linking With Pete Davidson?

Of course, the main reason why a lot of people wonder this is because of Kanye West falling out with Kid Cudi. That was because of the latter’s friendship with Pete Davidson. As such, many wonder if Lil Uzi Vert will share the same fate. Previously, Cudi said that it would take a “miracle” to reconcile with Ye. Considering all the great music they made together, such a conclusion is quite tragic.

“With all due respect, I’m not Drake, who’s about to take a picture with him next week and be friends again. And their beef is squashed,” Kid Cudi told Esquire in an interview. “That’s not me. What I say, I mean. I will be done with you. It’s gonna take a motherf***ing miracle for me and that man to be friends again. I don’t see it happening. He gon’ have to become a monk. The twisted thing is that I love him, but I love you so much that I can kick you the f**k out of my life and be done with your a**. ’Cause you are not good for me. I love myself more. I didn’t love myself all them years you knew me.” Regardless of your take, return to HNHH for more on Pete Davidson, Lil Uzi Vert, and Kanye West.

Lil Uzi Vert Eats Cockroach In Thailand

by

It seems like Lil Uzi Vert has been watching some old Odd Future videos recently and thought, “Why not?” Moreover, they uploaded a video to their social media of them eating a cockroach while out in Thailand. If you’re wondering why Uzi is overseas, they will perform during Rolling Loud Thailand on Thursday (April 13), the festival’s first iteration in the nation. Following a heap of headlining festival appearances, award show performances, and having one of the biggest songs of the past year, Uzi’s winning big with audiences. What’s more is that there’s even more substantial and exciting music on the horizon that should be getting here sooner rather than later.

To elaborate, DJ Drama recently revealed that the Philly MC’s upcoming album The Pink Tape is in its final stages. “It’s on the way,” the fellow Philly legend expressed while on Justin Credible’s podcast. “The Pink Tape– [Lil Uzi Vert] and Cannon have been super hard at work. They’re in the process of pretty much finalizing the final sequencing and tracklisting of the project but it’s pretty much done. You’ll be surprised. You’re gonna get some of [Just Wanna Rock] as well as some other pockets.”

How’s The Cockroach, Lil Uzi Vert?

In addition, Uzi’s antics extend far beyond what they’re eating. Most recently, they got a tattoo that takes up their entire forehead, which is still pretty wild and taboo for many audiences. Still, the 27-year-old has much bigger fish to fry when it comes to their public image. Between their suggestive social media posts, lyrics, and more body art, they find themselves often fighting back at claims that they’re a satanist. While Uzi denied these accusations, their eclectic and provocative style certainly doesn’t make those arguments easy to retort.

Regardless, Uzi’s on top of the world, and fans are more excited than ever to hear what’s next on The Pink Tape. In fact, the “Sanguine Paradise” rapper might have even more to gift to fans this year in the form of a teased world tour. Even though Uzi wearing a shirt from the supposed tour’s merch line is all we have to go by, that’s hard evidence for hardcore fans. As such, hopefully the Generation Now artist backs up their long-form project return with a return to the stage. For more updates on that and the latest on Lil Uzi Vert, check back in with HNHH.

Lil Uzi Vert Teases “The Pink Tape” World Tour

by

Lil Uzi Vert is apparently going on a world tour in support of their upcoming album The Pink Tape soon, or at least that’s what recently surfaced pictures on social media indicate. Moreover, this comes after they reportedly announced a North American tour back in October of last year, although such plans fell through. Still, the “Myron” hitmaker captivated audiences all over through festival slots, public event performances, and more within the last two years. With their infectious stage presence in mind, a world tour would surely bring Uzi a lot of acclaim and commercial success. However, only time will tell, as these teases haven’t come attached with dates yet.

Furthermore, the whole reason behind this new speculation regards pictures posted online of Lil Uzi Vert wearing tour merch. To elaborate, Twitter recently went ablaze over Uzi rocking a “Pink Tape World Tour” shirt design, hinting at what was to come. Hopefully, this refers to a significant expansion of their planned North American trek. Given the superstar’s visibility and popularity at the moment, it would surprise no one if they’re able to sell thousands of tickets overseas. What’s more is that The Pink Tape, according to DJ Drama, is coming very soon.

Is Lil Uzi Vert Going On A World Tour Soon?

“It’s on the way,” Drama told Justin Credible on his podcast. “The Pink Tape– him and Cannon have been super hard at work. They’re in the process of pretty much finalizing the final sequencing and tracklisting of the project but it’s pretty much done. You’ll be surprised. You’re gonna get some of [Just Wanna Rock] as well as some other pockets.” Moreover, said news is also exciting because this would be Lil Uzi vert’s first headlining tour since they and G-Eazy embarked on “The Endless Summer” tour back in 2018.

Meanwhile, producer Don Cannon recently highlighted the Philly icon’s prolific and hard-working mentality in the studio. “We working on the album and he got 680 songs [from the last] 18 months,” he expressed. “I call him the Kobe Bryant when he was saying he used to shoot jump shots after the game. That’s what he doing. He give you a hit and do five songs a day. Nobody believe me. I bring them to the studio to see.” Let us know what you’re most excited about concerning The Pink Tape‘s rollout in the comments. Also, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates surrounding Lil Uzi Vert.

Lil Uzi Vert Is “Finalizing” “The Pink Tape,” DJ Drama Claims

by

One of the most anticipated projects of this year will apparently see the light of day sooner rather than later. Moreover, DJ Drama recently revealed that Lil Uzi Vert is adding the final touches to their highly anticipated album, The Pink Tape. From what the Philly icon revealed to Justin Credible on the latter’s podcast, there are very little steps left before the tape is ready to hit digital shelves. Furthermore, fans have been waiting for The Pink Tape since Uzi teased it shortly after Eternal Atake and Lil Uzi Vert Vs. The World 2 dropped. While they’ve held fans over since then with singles and the RED & WHITE EP, there’s nothing quite like a full-length project of Uzi material.

“[Lil Uzi Vert] and [Don] Cannon have been hard at work,” DJ Drama remarked to the radio host. “They’re just in the process of finalizing the final sequencing and tracklisting of the project.” This means they likely finished all its tracks by this point, which is very exciting for fans. However, fans also wonder whether we’ll hear a different style from the 27-year-old given other changes in the recording process.

DJ Drama Says Lil Uzi Vert Almost Finished The Pink Tape

The first (and most commendable) is Lil Uzi Vert’s sobriety throughout their creative process. “I thought that my creative process wasn’t gonna be the same because I wasn’t on drugs no more,” they remarked to TMZ. “It made sense. It wasn’t like I just made random music. I didn’t just play off the beat. I actually made songs with topics this time. It can change your life.” Considering that their massive hit “Just Wanna Rock” employs more Jersey club-inspired rhythms, maybe we’ll hear Baby Pluto engage with more different sounds on The Pink Tape.

Meanwhile, Uzi stans also hope that The Pink Tape will contain their reunion with Playboi Carti, which they teased at Rolling Loud and with an Instagram Story post. At the festival, one of the lines in unreleased material he played shouts the Whole Lotta Red rapper out and says that’s where his heart is, despite not talking often. “Me and my luv about to take over the world,” the Philly rapper wrote on their IG Story, tagging Carti in the pic. On that note, what are you most excited for on The Pink Tape? Let us know in the comments below and come back to HNHH for the latest on DJ Drama and Lil Uzi Vert.

Lil Uzi Vert Is A Tattoo Artist Now

by

Lil Uzi Vert is one of the most fun rappers to keep tabs on these days, and that’s just as owed to their personality as their music. Moreover, a video was recently shared on TikTok featuring Uzi inking some art on presumably a fan, or perhaps a regular tattoo shop customer. While it didn’t really come with any explanation or backstory, the “Baby Pluto” MC seems calm, collected, and professional in the clip. Given that Uzi’s quite the fan of body art, it’s exciting to see them flex those muscles and look at artwork from the other side of the chair. Maybe this means we’ll see the Philly star open a “Body-Ody Art” shop soon.

Regardless, the 27-year-old is infamous at this point for getting some pretty stylish and often divisive work done. For example, they got matching tattoos with Steve Lacy and Kanye West that made rounds online, although given Ye’s current state in the public eye, many probably think that didn’t age well. Still, a larger point of controversy has been whether certain designs, statements, or other aesthetics of Uzi’s brand lean towards satanism. Sure, they denied these claims time and time again, but it’s no easy feat considering they inked an upside-down cross on their forehead.

Lil Uzi Vert Shows Off Tat Skills

Meanwhile, Uzi has fans ready for The Pink Tape, with a lot of teases and hints towards upcoming collaborations with the likes of Playboi Carti. Another crucial part of this rollout for many followers is their recent remarks on sobriety helping their creative process. “I thought that my creative process wasn’t gonna be the same because I wasn’t on drugs no more,” they expressed to TMZ. Moreover, they expressed being able to think more clearly regarding his work.

“It made sense,” they continued. “It wasn’t like I just made random music. I didn’t just play off the beat. I actually made songs with topics this time. It can change your life.” Whether it’s for extracurriculars or a change in mentality, fans eagerly await the rap icon’s next move. On that note, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Lil Uzi Vert.

Lil Uzi Seemingly Hints At Playboi Carti Collab: “About 2 Take Over The World”

by

Two of hip-hop’s most beloved figures (and duos) of the past few years might be making a comeback soon. Moreover, Lil Uzi Vert just posted an Instagram story suggesting that they and Playboi Carti will work together again soon. “Me and my luv about to take over the world,” they wrote on IG, tagging Carti in the post. Furthermore, they also tagged themselves, with each tag corresponding to one of two kids pictured in the post. Between them stands a tall figure with what looks like a goat head, and Uzi included an upside-down cross emoji. Even though they already pushed back against accusations of satanism, that certainly doesn’t make their case any easier to make.

Still, this got fans incredibly excited, especially after the “Just Wanna Rock” star had some loving words for their “Shoota” collaborator during their Rolling Loud L.A. set. Well, they weren’t words, but rather lyrics to an unreleased Uzi song, presumably from the upcoming Pink Tape. “Shout out to Carti,” they rap in the short but electrifying snippet, at least based off the crowd’s reaction. “We don’t talk hardly, but that’s where my heart be.”

Lil Uzi Vert Hints At Playboi Carti Collab On IG

In fact, Carti had a noteworthy Rolling Loud L.A. set of his own, during which he also teased unreleased music. Furthermore, his set began with a track (fans call it “Rockstar”) that could’ve fit snugly on Whole Lotta Red: aggressive, buzzy, and screamed like there’s no tomorrow. As one of the most noteworthy performers of the moment, it seems like every Carti show becomes most people’s highlight at a festival. However, public favor when it comes to Carti is skewed at the moment, given recent revelations concerning his alleged abuse of his girlfriend. As such, his legacy is now an even more complicated one, and his lack of social media presence makes it hard for fans to get assurance that he regrets, didn’t commit, or retroactively condemns his actions.

Meanwhile, Carti did speak on a potential Uzi collab in a XXL interview last year, and even used similar language to Uzi’s IG post. “Uzi is working on mad music right now,” the “Stop Breathing” rapper remarked. “I don’t know if [they’re] serious about a lot of things. But I hope one day we can change the world with that, for sure.” On the other hand, the Philly icon gave an update on The Pink Tape recently to TMZ, saying that sobriety helped them make about 700 songs for the project. With those promises in mind, time will tell if they manifest and if external issues impact their relationship. For when that day comes, stick around on HNHH for the latest on Lil Uzi Vert and Playboi Carti.
