Travis Scott And A Fan Perform “Sweet Sweet” Together: Watch

October 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Travis Scott’s Circus Maximus tour is ongoing and it has been on a tremendous trajectory. In a recent graphic on Twitter (X), we are seeing just how much money this set of tour dates is going to bring in for La Flame. As of a few days ago, 500,000 tickets have been bought, making this his highest-selling one ever. This is in part because of how reasonable the cost of admission is, but people still have to want to go and they are coming in droves.

On top of the financial success, there have also been some wild moments as well. The most recent of them was a fan dressed in a gorilla costume. Travis performed “CIRCUS MAXIMUS” as he placed his hand on the top of the person in the get-up, singing to him. Just a couple of nights ago, at his Las Vegas show, he brought on a female fan to perform a couple of songs.

The one that is making the rounds on the internet is her standing alongside the Houston rapper as he performs “sweet sweet.” Travis has been sprinkling in some older tracks into the setlist and this one comes from his 2016 record Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight. The girl is jumping around next to him, but the fans reamed her relentlessly. One says, “She was up there for 2 songs n didn’t know neither of em.” Another goes, “Shoulda brought a rager on stage smh.” Regardless, the fan seemed to be on top of the world in the moment and it might be something she will remember for a long time.

What are your initial thoughts on this video of Travis Scott bringing a fan onstage to perform “sweet sweet” with him? Do you think the fans have a right to roast the girl? Have you been able to make it to any of the shows so far, or are you planning to go? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

Dallas Shooting Leaves Boosie Badazz Demanding $150K To Perform In City Again

October 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Boosie Badazz has been in the music industry for a long time. Like many of his contemporaries, he’s had his share of run-ins with the law. Some situations found the Baton Rouge-born artist facing serious allegations of murder, which he ultimately beat. Others have seen him taking on the victim role, like a shooting that took place in Dallas in 2020. At the time, Boosie took a bullet to the leg. This left him in a wheelchair for the duration of his recovery. Since then, the embattled artist hasn’t returned to the city where he was shot, but on Sunday (October 29), he entertained the idea of coming back – if the money’s right, of course.

“I don’t know, they gotta pay me a lot of money to come to Dallas,” Boosie stated during a recent Instagram Live. “They shot me in Dallas. They gotta pay that bag. I’m tryna come! $150,000 – I’m coming. They shot me in Dallas,” he added. Nevertheless, the 40-year-old still showed love to fans in the Lone Star state. “I love Dallas, though. [They] my highest supporting city. Every time I drop a movie, Dallas be number one!” Boosie alleged.

Will Boosie Badazz Ever Hit the Stage in Dallas Again?

The 2020 incident was particularly traumatic for Boosie, as it took place during a vigil for the late Mo3. It took place outside of a strip mall called Big T’s when a gunman began shooting at the rapper’s sprinter van and quickly fled the scene. After spending over a week in the hospital for treatment, Badazz was ultimately released to continue his recovery at home, though he was back on stage in his wheelchair just four days later.

Besides addressing questions about the potential of him performing in Dallas again, Boosie Badazz has also shared his thoughts on the new documentary about him. The Louisana native is usually happy to be in the spotlight, but now that he’s been painted as an “alleged serial killer,” Boosie wants no part in the project. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Lil Kim Tosses Her Underwear Into The Crowd At Recent Performance

October 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Sukihana wasn’t the only surprise that Lil Kim had for the crowd at the ONE MusicFest in Atlanta, Georgia on Saturday (October 28). Moreover, those towards the front of the crowd got quite the show when she removed her panties mid-set and then launched them into the crowd. Of course, this elicited a lot of cheers and wildly shocked reactions for the legendary femcee from festival-goers in the moment. However, once it was time for social media to catch up to the occurrence, people were less than enthused or appreciative when it came to this “gift.” Many folks saw this as too nasty, too corny or performative, a straight-up health code violation, or something you could press charges for.

On the other hand, there were also plenty of people who took it as an entertainingly bizarre and fun moment, or defended Lil Kim against the aforementioned critics. “She had on pants,” one fan clarified. “They were over her pants. Y’all too old. This not her first time doing this at her concerts. That’s like y’all saying why the brat pull her pants down on stage. bc that’s wat she does.”

Regardless of this interpretation, it was still a little too much for people to stomach online, for the most part. Sure, they had plenty of hilarious jokes about it, but no one really seemed to see this as anything less than a bit over the top, at best. In addition, a lot of people either used or called out the double standards when it comes to what other female rappers these days can do, and what Lil Kim can’t. Still, we’re sure that no matter what happens during these shows, she will keep doing concerts as she wants. It’s not like all of them are that raunchy, either; the New York artist recently performed at a WNBA Finals game to great and non-controversial success.

Meanwhile, what’s your take on all this? Do you think this is the kind of antic that will show up in her upcoming biopic or are people just blowing this out of proportion? In any case, let us know in the comments section down below. For more news and the latest updates on Lil Kim, check back in with HNHH.

Megan Thee Stallion’s ONE Music Fest Performance Stunned, Served & Sizzled

October 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Megan Thee Stallion’s back and as energetic, sultry, impressive, and passionate of a stage performer as ever. Moreover, she was among many other amazing artists that performed at Atlanta, Georgia’s ONE MusicFest over the weekend, specifically for her on Saturday night (October 29). In a revealing brown leather fit, the Houston MC went through some of her biggest hits and kept up a magnanimous stage presence. Whether it was her jaw-dropping dance moves that got fans both thirsty and hyped or her powerful rapping abilities, there’s always something to admire about her shows. Furthermore, it makes the 28-year-old’s upcoming new music all the more exciting.

Of course, many people missed seeing Megan Thee Stallion grace a festival stage, even though she’s kept up a lot with those over the past few years. In fact, it’s been one of the few musical ways in which she’s remained a pretty powerful force, because she understandably hasn’t dropped a lot of material of her own. This is due not to just personal life factors concerning the Tory Lanez case, but also legal disputes with the record label 1501 Certified Entertainment. Fortunately, it seems like the “Bongos” hitmaker’s in a much more healed space at the moment and ready to take her career to the next level.

What’s more is that, little by little, these aforementioned issues are passing her by as she continues to reflect and gather herself. Sure, it’s not a full-on resolution, especially when it comes to Megan Thee Stallion’s personal life, but it’s a start. For example, her 1501 case recently reached a settlement, finally allowing her to free herself of those shackles that kept new music and artistic agency at bay. As such, we can’t wait for it to be fully Hottie season again.

Meanwhile, we also don’t want to assume that she’s still having a rough time in her personal life. While the Traumanize artist has been a vocal advocate for mental health and spoken deeply about her own worries and struggles, it’s also patronizing to only define her by them and not her other qualities. We just hope that she’s more at her own pace now, and in a position to lead herself to what she desires and help others out in the process. On that note, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and more updates on Megan Thee Stallion.

Nikki D Blasts Ice Spice For Betty Boop Performance, Call This The “Prostitution Era” Of Female Rap

October 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Ice Spice is an artist who has skyrocketed to fame, very quickly. Overall, this can be difficult for any artist to manage. Of course, you have to work on building a core fanbase that will rock with you no matter what. Music fans are fickle, and if you start to show weakness, the ones who aren’t hardcore stands will immediately jump ship. However, Ice Spice has done a relatively good job of keeping her fans engaged. Moreover, her recent performance dressed as Betty Boop certainly had people talking.

Unfortunately, not everyone saw the performance as a good thing. Nikki D, the first woman ever signed to Def Jam, decided to weigh in on what took place at the Prudential Center. Essentially, she said that this is the “prostitution era” in women’s rap. These were extremely harsh words, although she did not stop there. She noted that Ice Spice raps over her studio vocals, which cannot be considered a real performance. Additionally, she claimed that Spice will likely no longer be famous, very soon.

“Oh come TF on!!! You mean to tell me, this is true talent.. the Female genre of hip hop today is the ‘prostitution era’, fight me!! [two boxing glove emojis],” Nikki D wrote. “Notice the ONLY 2x’s the crowd reacts.. during the familiar ‘munch line’ and when she turns around to show her ass!! She’s one of the top female rappers out at the “moment”.. where’s her show production, rehearsal, and for god sake PLEASE STOP singing over those studio vocals it’s not a live show at that point.”

Older artists have frequently hated on the younger generation. Sometimes, it is genuine hate while in other instances, it is just tough love. Let us know in the comments below what you think is the case here. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the music world.

Ice Spice Gets Bible From Fan After Betty Boop Show, Rubi Rose Thirsts For Her

October 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Ice Spice recently held a pretty lewd and salacious Halloween performance in New Jersey recently, though we think the only real difference between this and other shows is the Betty Boop costume she was wearing. Either way, something about this performance had fans wanting her to reconnect a little more with some more… traditional values. Moreover, the Bronx rapper recently posted a good old King James Bible on her Instagram Story, which a fan gave to her after this concert. Of course, this falls in line with the sometimes misogynist and often controlling view that people have on how femcees should act and what they should promote.

If it wasn’t clear by now, then we don’t know what could convince you that she’s not here for any of that. Also, it’s worth noting that Ice Spice is also still getting used to the massive amount of fame she got in what feels like record time. After all, when you’re still traveling all the time and barely have time to settle down, it can be tough to think about how you want to present yourself and not giving into others’ wishes. So take that Bible with as much or as little energy as you want, Princess Diana; we won’t blame you.

Furthermore, it’s also hard to break away from successful formulas when even one of the Internet’s most popular current muses is lusting after you. Rubi Rose recently took to Twitter to thirst for Ice Spice, tweeting on Sunday (October 29) that she’s “sexy as f**k.” If you know anything about the Kentucky rhymer, it’s that people online shoot these same comments at her all the time. Real recognize real once again, or at least she’s acknowledging that the Like..? hitmaker deserves the confidence and satisfaction she feels.

Meanwhile, we’ll see what else these two get up to when it comes to their careers in 2024. They had a pretty big year for different reasons, but ones that they’ll surely capitalize on moving forward. Let’s just hope fans drop the “fix yourself” act and see them for who they truly are: artists, not mannequins. For more news and the latest updates on Rubi Rose and Ice Spice, stick around on HNHH.

Bad Bunny Does It All On “SNL,” Kendall Jenner Joins Him At After Party

October 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio is on top of the world right now, and few names can drum up as much interest for a Saturday Night Live gig. Moreover, Bad Bunny played the role of host and performer, doing his best to give us a lot of laughs and a couple of great performances. Certainly, he has the latter on lock, and considering that comedy is subjective (and there’s a language barrier at play), his hosting and acting skills seem to be divisive online. Many loved the sketches, with some being thematically appropriate like a rap battle or a Latino household, while others were less than impressed.

Regardless, it was nonetheless quite the engaging experience to see the Puerto Rican onstage and give this staple of pop culture a shot after previous cameos, whether you’re Boricua yourself or not. For his performance, he picked his two singles from his brand-new album nadie sabe lo que va a pasar mañana (Nobody Knows What’s Going To Happen Tomorrow). While “UN PREVIEW” and “MONACO” are definitely highlights, it would’ve been great to see Bad Bunny perform some of his amazing deep cuts from the project. Still, considering that it’s a tribute to his day-one fans, his original sound, and far from his most popular styles, it’s an understandable choice.

Bad Bunny Performs “MONACO” On Saturday Night Live

After the 29-year-old killed it on SNL, he went for a night out in New York City with Kendall Jenner to celebrate. While the two have remained pretty tight-lipped about their relationship, that hasn’t stopped them from having plenty of fun in the public eye. Other celebrities who made cameos during Bad Bunny’s TV stint, like Lady Gaga and Pedro Pascal, were unfortunately not spotted here. It looks like it was still a great time, and one that marks a pretty special day for El Conejo Malo.

Meanwhile, what did you think about this Saturday Night Live episode and its musical performances? Does Benito have a future in other performing arts or should he stick to cameo appearances? However you may feel, let us know in the comments down below. Also, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Bad Bunny.

Gucci Mane And T.I. Put Their Rivalry Behind Them At His Latest Show: Watch

October 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The longstanding beef between Gucci Mane and T.I. has finally come to an end. This all went down last night (October 17) at Guwop’s show in Atlanta. It took place at The Tabernacle, according to HipHopDX. It was to recognize the release of his brand new album, Breath of Fresh Air which also came out yesterday. Gucci has not released a solo project since 2021, which is a fairly big deal considering his constant output. While most people might be a bit more familiar with his and Jeezy’s beef, T.I. has also not been seeing eye to eye with him either.

However, it seems that things are back to normal. Gucci brought out T.I. at one point during the show. The two embraced onstage by dapping each other up. This led right into Tip playing one of his classic hits, “24’s.” He got the crowd going as they sang most of the words. Gucci let him have the stage to himself for the performance.

Shortly after the song ends, both come in front of the crowd to publicly acknowledge things and bury the hatchet. It is hard to make out what they are saying but the two look to be at peace with each other. The arguing began back in 2012 with Gucci saying he started the the trap subgenre. T.I. responded in total disagreement saying that his ’03 album, Trap Muzik started it all. Gucci thanked his friend on his IG Story saying, “Much respect @Tip” with the chilly face emoji.

What are your initial thoughts on Gucci Mane and T.I. reuniting on stage together after this long beef between them? What do you think changed for these two? Is this one of the best feel-good moments in rap this year? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to 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 Gucci Mane, T.I., as well as the rest of the music world.

DDG Performs At Southern University, Crowd Responds With Indifference: Watch

October 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

DDG is someone who has been clowned quite a bit on the internet over the last few years. Overall, he is someone who went from being a YouTuber to a rapper. Although he has a lot of fans and substantial popularity, it has been hard for him to get any support amongst the broad spectrum of hip-hop fans. There are many out there who see him as “corny.” Moreover, there are those who feel like he isn’t good enough to be with Halle Bailey. Were it not for that relationship, perhaps people wouldn’t be so hard on him.

His most recent project was critically panned, mostly due to the fact that it contained the same song remixed three times. Additionally, people don’t really care for his petty grievances that typically involve him being jealous of his girlfriend. As it turns out, these attitudes towards DDG extend to when he is performing in front of a live audience. We know this because recently, he performed at Southern University, and the crowd response was pretty awful.

In the video above, posted by The Jasmine Brand, DDG can be seen performing while the crowd is at a standstill. No one in the crowd seems to be excited about his presence, and they certainly don’t know any of the words. Although some are filming the show, there are others who look completely and utterly unimpressed. This clip is starting to go viral, and it is clear that the rapper isn’t too popular on the university circuit. Only time will tell whether or not he can turn it around.

Meanwhile, he is embroiled in Halle Bailey pregnancy rumors. This has subsequently led to more vitriol coming DDG’s way. Let us know your thoughts and feelings on the rapper, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the music world.

Michael Jordan Makes Appearance At Usher Show, Tiffany Haddish Dances In Front Of Him: Watch

October 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Michael Jordan is one of, if not the most celebrated athlete in the world. It is for good and obvious reasons. He is arguably the greatest NBA player of all time and is a worldwide icon. His Jordan brand and iconic shoes have allowed fans from all over to be a part of the mystique. Jordan also recently became a billionaire. It makes him the richest athlete of all time.

He is now also one of the 400 wealthiest people in America after the sale of the Charlotte Hornets franchise. Many celebrities also idolize the man and one of those is Usher. According to TMZ Sports, Jordan made an appearance at one of the R&B superstar’s recent Las Vegas shows that is a part of his residency. “We love you, Mike,” Usher shouted to him from the stage. To further cement how close these two are, the singer even wore the Jordan 3s he designed which are all gold.

On top of Usher showing love to Jordan, Tiffany Haddish did the same. The actress did a little dance in front of him in the stands. You can see that video in the first Via link down below. All Michael could do was laugh and enjoy the moment.

What are your initial thoughts on this video of Michael Jordan at Usher’s Las Vegas show and receiving a dance from Tiffany Haddish? Do you think Michael was a little weirded out by it?
