Drake Shares That He’s “Single & Ready To Mingle” During Show

September 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Drake’s having a lot of fun on his “It’s All A Blur” tour with 21 S*vage, whether it’s meeting fans or bringing out superstars as guests. In fact, he even took time to dance with a young fan backstage recently, which was one of the more wholesome moments from this trek. Switching topics, though, it seems like Drizzy also had relationships on his mind for one of his latest shows. Rather, he’s thinking about the lack of one. In one of his breaks between songs, the Toronto superstar remarked how good he feels to be un-cuffed right now.

“I’m so glad I’m single on this tour,” Drake explained to the thousands of fans in attendance. “Because I just don’t have to feel guilty at all. Imagine if I was, like, married or some s**t and girls just hitting me in the face with just t*tty assaults every night and s**t. How would I go and explain that to anybody. So glad I’m single and ready to mingle, by the way. Ready to mingle, by the way!” However, what might be funniest about the clip is that somebody threw a piece of clothing at him mid-speech, giving further proof to his statement.

Of course, this won’t faze a lot of fans that weren’t there to witness it, mostly because they have more pressing OVO matters on their hands. For All The Dogs became one of the most anticipated albums of 2023 in the very moment that Drake announced it. We already know the cover art, the “old me” direction, and some features, namely Nicki Minaj and Bad Bunny. Now, all fans can do is just wait for its eventual release, which will surely come with its own firestorm of news, surprises, and exciting developments.

Meanwhile, we know that the “Middle Of The Ocean” MC’s album rollout contains at least one first for him. He and Cole Bennett recently teased a Lyrical Lemonade collab music video, which will probably yield vibrant and viral results. Still, no teases of new romantic flings, and it looks like the 36-year-old wants to keep it that way. With that in mind, stay posted on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Drake.

Travis Scott Joins Don Toliver As Special Guest During Las Vegas Club Performance

September 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Travis Scott is still riding the highs of UTOPIA, so much so that other artist bring him out to perform it for even more fans. Moreover, during Don Toliver’s recent show at the Zouk nightclub in Las Vegas, he brought out La Flame for some heat. They played some joint efforts, as well as songs in their solo discographies such as the rapper-singer’s “Too Many Nights” with Metro Boomin and Future. As for the Houston MC, he performed “FE!N” and “I KNOW ?,” presumably among others, for the audience. People were quite surprised and excited when he joined the party, and there are plenty of clips of it floating around social media.

Furthermore, Travis Scott knows just how in-demand his live performances are, despite the history associated with them. It’s a tough conversation to have, especially when the “HYEANA” artist is silent on these issues and continues to operate as usual. Regardless, he opened up more dates for his “CIRCUS MAXIMUS” tour after nearly every stop sold out like lightning. In all likelihood, Don Toliver will be among the special guests that he brings out for that trek.

In fact, this isn’t the first time in 2023 that Trav and Don linked up for a concert, and the last time it happened, it was on Don Toliver’s tour. As he performed for the crowd, they started screaming and cheering when Travis Scott emerged on stage behind his Cactus Jack artist. When he turned around, he started jumping up excitedly with a big smile on his face, so it at least looked just like a surprise. Even when they don’t plan it out, it’s clear that they’re close enough to where they can create something naturally energetic for fans.

Meanwhile, this also slightly (very slightly) makes up for the fact that the Love Sick crooner wasn’t on UTOPIA. This disappointed many fans, but that said, there are plenty of collabs from the duo to enjoy. Still, their chemistry basically propelled Don’s inherent talents to superstar status, so it’s natural that fans expect a lot from them. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Travis Scott and Don Toliver.

Drake’s Vancouver Concert Postponement Upsets Canadian Fans

August 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Though Drake originally hails from Canada, and he takes plenty of pride in being the 6ix God, his performances in his home country don’t always go as planned. Unfortunately for those in Vancouver hoping to attend his It’s All a Blur show on Monday (August 28), they were met with news of a last-minute postponement to Wednesday evening. Many were obviously upset by the news, especially after spending their afternoon getting ready and pre-gaming, but thankfully it’s not all bad news.

While 21 Savage has been joining Champagne Papi on stages across North America this summer, rumour has it that Travis Scott will be making an appearance. The father of two’s private jet reportedly landed on the west coast yesterday, meaning that if we don’t see him perform “MELTDOWN” or “SICKO MODE,” we’ll likely at least see him raging along to Drake’s set in the audience.

Drake Promises Vancouver a Memorable Performance

Drake Vancouver Concert — @champagnepapi/Instagram Story

“Vancouver it’s T-TIME [tomorrow], don’t you worry,” the Certified Lover Boy artist promised his followers via Instagram. Of course, due to the last-minute rescheduling of the show, some of those who had tickets for Monday won’t be able to make it to Wednesday’s performance. This left them understandably upset, though some of them chose to channel their anger in a less-than-flattering fashion.

In the video below, those waiting outside the latest It’s All a Blur tour stop venue lash out at an employee delivering the sad news to them. “It’s out of our control,” the Rogers Arena staff member reminded the disgruntled group. As HipHopDX reports, the only reason disclosed for the rescheduled event is ongoing issues with the “newly installed scoreboard.”

Fans React to Show’s Postponement

Do you think the Vancouver fans were out of pocket for yelling at Rogers Arena staff over Drake’s concert postponement? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Miguel Reveals The Aftermath Of His Wild “Viscera Experience”

August 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It has nearly been six years since the release of Miguel’s last album War & Leisure. So many great cuts are on this project and it left fans on a huge cliffhanger for countless months. But, Miguel is finally returning to album form. With the release of two singles this year “Give It To Me” and “Number 9” featuring Lil Yachty, a new full-length is on the horizon. We even have a title for it! Viscera is the name and we cannot wait for it to release.

Both songs possess extremely lush and colorful production, and of course, terrific singing from Miguel. In fact, the R&B sensation recently performed “Number 9” at his “Viscera Experience” as well as three other tracks. The unreleased cut “Rope” was the song he fittingly chose to perform as he was suspended in midair. A hook-like contraption, eerily similar to something you would see in a Saw movie, was attached to his back. Miguel hung up there for around four minutes, showing his commitment to the fans to put on a one-of-a-kind performance.

Of course, after pulling off a stunt like that, Miguel was obligated to share the damage after the show. He posted a picture to his Instagram with his torn-up back. The caption reads, “VISCERA What is your relationship to pain ? What is your relationship to change ?” Ironically, fans in the comments do not seem to be keen on Miguel’s changes, saying things like “You and Doja about to piss me off.” Or, “Please, don’t start w your weird s***. U been doing fineee sir keep it that way…smh.” It is unfortunate to see people reacting like this. However, Miguel’s new album should be what he described his experience as, “boundary-pushing.”

What are your thoughts on this picture from Miguel after his “Viscera Experience?” How far deep do you think those hooks were in his back? Are you excited about his upcoming project Viscera? We want to hear what you have to say, so leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest breaking news around the music world.

Drake Shouts Out Yeat’s Name During Performance Of “Sticky” On Tour

August 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Drake is always one to keep his finger on the pulse of contemporary hip-hop culture, whether people see it as exploitative or generous. Still, he certainly got the attention of the newest generation of rap fans with his special guest in Seattle. Moreover, during that city’s tour stops for his “It’s All A Blur” tour with 21 S*vage, the 6 God brought out Yeat, much to fans’ delight. Even thought it was a relatively simple link-up, with the rage mastermind just popping out from the crowd, it’s still quite the surreal moment. After all, the Canadian superstar has propelled many careers to stardom before, although we’re certain that Yeat doesn’t need the help.

Furthermore, Drake still decided to dedicate as much stage time as he reasonably could to this moment. During his performance of his Honestly, Nevermind cut “Sticky,” he replaced one of the names in his verse with the Oregon MC’s. “Yeat got me on the wave,” the OVO mogul proclaimed to the crowd, and they cheered in response. With all this hype in mind, it’s no wonder that it’s reignited past rumors that they will one day release some material together.

What’s more is that we should be getting something big from both artists soon, or at least that’s what fans hope. On one hand, you have Drake’s upcoming project For All The Dogs, which will surely rank among the most commercially successful and widely discussed albums of the year. On the other, Yeat recently dropped a new single, “bigger then everything,” which sees him reflecting on his meteoric rise in more somber fashion. He already dropped a full-length this year, but there’s no question that there’s always hype for him to keep delivering.

Meanwhile, fans will have to wait and see if this ends up panning out, and to see in what way it impacts either artist. As much as the “My wrist” star is getting big cosigns all over the game, he’s also in a lane entirely of his own. With that in mind, it might feel like a “worlds collide” moment rather than the career-propelling team-up that Drizzy fans might expect. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Drake and Yeat.

Kendrick Lamar Performs For Enthusiastic Crowd In Japan

August 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It seems like every time this rapper steps out to perform, the results are absolutely electric for fans. Moreover, Kendrick Lamar recently hit up a stage in Japan, and though he was on the other side of the world from his home of Compton, he still captivated the audience. A clip recently went viral of the Mr. Morale MC performing his hit “N95,” and the whole crowd sang along perfectly to the sung intro before he even started rapping. What was once a slew of singing voices turned into a mix of people spitting his bars back at him and people cheering as he started to rap.

Furthermore, when the beat dropped, the stage lit up behind the pgLang creative, and viewers went wild for it. What’s more is that many of them didn’t stop reciting all the lines back to Kendrick Lamar as he went through the track. Sure, that’s something you see at a lot of rap shows, so the excitement on display is nothing new. Still, few artists can get a stadium or festival crowd screaming and rapping as loudly and passionately as the West Coast legend.

Kendrick Lamar’s Recent Japan Show

If you haven’t seen him perform live yet, don’t fret; performance moments from his tours and shows go viral quite often. As such, you’ve probably seen your fair share of clips, and if you’re going to Tyler, The Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival this year, you’ll get to witness it for yourself. Kendrick Lamar and Baby Keem will deliver a joint set as The Hillbillies, with other big names like SZA, Ice Spice, Lil Yachty, and Clipse hitting the festival, too. Of course, this is a big opportunity for the 36-year-old to create something unique and special with his cousin.

Meanwhile, with over a year passing since the release of his last album, many wonder where the former TDE artist will go next. Maybe he’ll slow down his music releases in favor of something grander, or he’ll keep dropping top-tier hip-hop. In any case, there will never be a crowd that isn’t energized and awe-struck by his live presence. For more news and the latest updates on Kendrick Lamar, stick around on HNHH.

Lil Uzi Vert & Bobbi Althoff Link Up At Bktherula Concert: Video

August 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Lil Uzi Vert has been everywhere lately – including with podcaster Bobbi Althoff. As they continue to prepare for their Barter 16 project’s debut, the Philadelphia native has been spending time with friends, both new and old, as well as teasing what they’ve been cooking up in the studio. On Thursday (August 17), LUV teamed up with Mike WiLL Made-It for a new banger called “Blood Moon,” and days before that, the rapper linked up with Young Thug’s sister to turn up to some songs from Barter 16.

Today (August 18), a video of Lil Uzi out at a recent Bktherula concert surfaced online. It’s definitely not surprising to see the “Just Wanna Rock” hitmaker supporting his contemporaries, but what did leave some people shocked is Althoff’s presence at the show. “Ily @bktherula but why @liluzivert n @bobbialthoff here [right now]?” the original poster asked in the clip below, which zooms in to show people who resemble the two entertainers.

It’s likely that the Uzi and Bobbi are working on something for her web series, though internet trolls did speculate that the 28-year-old won’t beat the cheating allegations this time. They were referencing the incident at the BET Awards, at which time JT threw her phone at her partner, allegedly because of something he said to, or about Ice Spice. They’ve obviously since kissed and made up, but if trolls start taunting the City Girl about Althoff, she likely won’t be happy.

It’s been several weeks since Bobbi Althoff and Drake’s interview dropped online, but still, pop culture fanatics continue to discuss the awkwardness of it all. The internet personality recently spoke with Barstool Sports’ Dave Portnoy about her experience interviewing the Canadian, though he’s been facing some backlash for asking Althoff if she slept with Drake. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Jay Rock Joins Red Hot Chili Peppers Onstage At Playground Reopening

August 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jay Rock recently performed in the neighborhood he grew up in, celebrating the grand opening of a renovated playground. The Watts, California playground was cleaned up and given some brand new equipment, courtesy of the HACLA. It’s located at the Nickerson Garden housing project where Jay Rock lived as a kid. He was also joined by the Red Hot Chili Peppers, making for quite the show. Though it may appear to be an unlikely pairing, their set sounded great and attendees seem to have loved it. “My 1st Rock concert in my hood with @chilipeppers, how Krazy is that,” Anthony Tiffith wrote alongside footage of the show.

“We got a new playground for the kids and a dope performance from some true legends,” Top Dawg continued. “@jayrock shared the stage with @chilipeppers that was a moment. S/o @flea333 for showing the kids love and supporting the hood since Covid hit.” Both acts put on their own individual performances, also joining forces to perform together. The band accompanied Jay Rock’s performance of “WIN” from 2018’s Redemption. The rapper then went on to sign autographs and take photos with some kids from the area. RHCP frontman Anthony Kiedis also brought several of the children onstage to dance along with the music.

President and CEO of the HACLA, Doug Guthrie, shared a statement about the revamped playground. “Just this past year,” he begins, “the Housing Authority was recognized with the Public Housing Honor Roll because of our commitment to supporting cradle to career opportunities for our residents. This playground is directly aligned with that commitment to continue supporting the residents we house with opportunities to help their families thrive.”

“We’re grateful to support the Watts community with the design of a playground that can bring joy, fun, and entertainment to families throughout the year,” managing partner of NBBJ Robert Mankin adds. “We’re honored to be among the many organizations that came together to provide much-deserved recreational space for this historically underserved community.”

Finesse2tymes’ Son FNG King Performs NSFW Songs On Stage, Social Media Isn’t Feeling It

August 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Since his long-awaited release from prison, Finesse2tymes has regularly stirred up controversy. The embattled artist has given us a handful of viral tracks. Still, listeners are having a hard time overlooking the way he chooses to live his life. Not only is the rapper in a polyamorous relationship with several women (which he regularly shows off in salacious photos online), but he also has unconventional parenting methods that have left many worried about the wellbeing of his 10-year-old son, FNG King.

In a video circulating on various blogs today (August 11), Finesse is seen performing with his little one. The child confidently yells out troubling lyrics about disregarding consent during sex. “Take this d**k, b**ch, stop pushing me,” the duo repeatedly yells out as the crowd cheers them on. While those in attendance seemed to be feeling the father-son bonding moment, many internet users are less than impressed. “That’s completely inappropriate to be telling that child to do that and he rapping that mess at the same time smh,” one person vented on Twitter.

“Kids have to be protected and exposing them to certain things at this age is so negligent. And honestly predatory,” another upset user wrote. “It’s ‘mind your own business’ when it comes to this but let a child say that they’re LGBT, they should wait until they’re 18 to decide. Okay,” someone else chimed in, seemingly referencing the debate sparked by Ne-Yo’s thoughts on transgender children earlier this month.

On the other hand, there are those who believe Finesse is doing right by keeping his son out of the streets. “Enjoying life instead of having to worry bout some bs going on stray bullets, wrong crowds, all stuff that go on in the hood. Some people keep they kids off the streets in different ways while y’all need to get y’all!,” one such person expressed.

Social Media Reacts

Travis Scott’s Circus Maximus Concert Injured Dozens Of Attendees

August 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

If there’s one thing you can always expect Travis Scott to inspire in people, it’s the rage. The father of two has a natural enthusiasm for life that’s undeniably contagious. Still, some would argue that he’s taken things too far a number of times over the years. His 2021 Astroworld Festival resulted in a ton of backlash for Scott after multiple people lost their lives during a tragic crowd crush. The “goosebumps” hitmaker stepped out of the spotlight for a brief period at that time. He’s since headlined festivals and, earlier this week, performed for 60,000 in Rome.

Scott was initially due to perform in Egypt at the Pyramids of Giza when UTOPIA first dropped, but that show was ultimately cancelled. Regardless, the Houston native brought an exuberant amount of energy to the historic Circus Maximus on Monday (August 7). Scott also surprised fans with an appearance from Kanye West, who hasn’t taken the stage since his controversial anti-Semitic rants. This obviously had the audience acting out in an even rowdier manner, and reportedly even led to a pepper spray incident.

Travis Scott Performs for 60,000 Fans in Rome

As per Euro News, dozens were injured by the attack, and at least 60 sought medical treatment. Elsewhere at the show, a 14-year-old was hospitalized after falling four metres. He was apparently trying to sneak into Circus Maximus without security noticing, but ultimately hurt himself in the process. Earlier this summer one of Scott’s performances resulted in an earthquake, and this week’s was no different. Residents of Rome felt the Cactus Jack founder’s presence all throughout the city, and not all of them were pleased.

As La Flame’s listeners continue to revel in his long-awaited UTOPIA LP and Circus Maximus film, the multi-talent has been sharing more secrets about the making of his album. While he worked with an impressive roster of collaborators, including SZA, The Weeknd, and Beyonce, it turns out J. Cole nearly appeared on the record as well. Read more about what Scott said about that missed opportunity at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news.
