Kehlani Donates More Than $550k In Merch Sales To Palestine, Sudan, & Congo

by

Last month, Kehlani announced the release of her 4th studio album CRASH. The project has already been teased with a pair of new singles and fans won’t have to wait long to hear the whole thing. The album is expected to be released in its entirety next week on June 21. It represents a year already packed full of major R&B releases from artists like PARTYNEXTDOOR, 4batz, SiR, Kali Uchis, Erika De Casier, and more. But with the release of her new album she also undertook a massive charitable gesture with her newest line of merch sales.

Kehlani has been one of the loudest voices speaking in support of the people of Palestine in all of entertainment. It’s been a controversial subject since October of last year when long-standing tensions between Palestine and Israel erupted into full-on conflict. Now the R&B singer backed up her vocal support with a massive financial donation not just to Palestine, but to Sudan and Congo as well. Last month, she released the second single from CRASH, “Next 2 U” and its accompanying music video. She also launched a merch line in tandem with the release designed to raise money for Operation Olive Branch. In a new Instagram post she revealed the staggering amount of money she raised as a result. Check out the post below.

ASAP Rocky Drops New “DON’T BE DUMB” Merch, Fans Speculate About New Music

by

Earlier this month, Rihanna revealed that ASAP Rocky has been hard at work on his new album. While that didn’t satisfy the pop fans who have been waiting since 2016 for a new project from RiRi, it got rap fans buzzing. They didn’t have to wait long for something to capture their attention either. Earlier today Rocky dropped some new merch onto his AWGE website. The merch prominently features the bulletproof vests that he wore in performances last year.

The vest also appears in the video for his single “Riot (Rowdy Pipe’n)” which dropped last year and many think may be a single from his new album. Rocky has been teasing a new album called DON’T BE DUMB for years now and there have been numerous times when fans felt it was close. Despite that concrete updates on the album have been very few and far between. But with Rihanna’s announcement and the new merch drop fans once again think they may be close to getting the first new Rocky album since 2018’s Testing.

Kendrick Lamar, Coldplay, The Killers, Olivia Rodrigo, Billie Eilish, and many more artists had songs included in the new mode.

The merch features a combination of Abel’s After Hours Tour aesthetic with visuals from Fortnite. Included in the drop are 5 shirts each with different graphics on them. Three of the shirts have sleeves while the other two are cut offs. There’s also two hoodies sporting similar designs from two of the t-shirts and a sparsely decorated bomber jacket featuring just two logos.

Drake And OVO Celebrate “For All The Dogs” With Special Varsity Jacket

by

Drake’s new album For All The Dogs has been massively successful. The album dumped its entire tracklist into the top 50 of the Hot 100 and many of the songs still remain. The bunch are highlighted by “First Person Shooter” with J. Cole which became a number one hit and “IDGAF” with Yeat which still finds itself in the top 10 this week. The album was also a massive hit on the Billboard 200 where it’s been in the top 2 for three weeks. Dozens of other Billboard charts also had their top 10s rocked by the album’s release.

Now Drake and OVO are taking a victory lap. There’s already been plenty of merch from the album and the rapper’s “It’s All A Blur” tour, but they dropped one more piece. The new item is a For All The Dogs varsity jacket covered in various patches and sporting the album artwork on the back. The jacket costs just under $1000 and is expected to ship in January. Fans hoping to get their hands on one may have to wait around hoping for a restock. Within the first few hours of the release of the varsity jacket, it sold out in every single size. Check out the jacket itself below.

Drake’s “For All The Dogs” Jacket

Over the weekend, Drake broke his silence on the Israel-Palestine conflict. Since the conflict broke out earlier this month some had publicly called him out for his silence. He took a very safe approach to finally commenting, signing a letter calling for a ceasefire.

Last week Drake celebrated his 37th birthday with a bunch of new RIAA certifications. A number of his albums and singles continued to rack up Platinum status. He got to share a personal text about the new certifications to his Instagram story to celebrate alongside fans. What do you think of Drake and OVO’s new For All The Dogs varsity jacket?

Drake Releases New Line Of “For All The Dogs Merch”

by

Drake’s feature-packed new album For All The Dogs has been a smash commercial hit. It had tremendous first-week sales tallying over 400k copies. The project racked up over 160k sales in its second week on the charts, good enough for number two this week. Early projections for next week see the album holding off debuts from Blink-182 and The Rolling Stones to return to the number-one spot for a second week.

Now, Drake is capitalizing on the album’s appeal with some new merch. Earlier today he shared six new pieces of For All The Dogs merch. Included in the drop are 5 new shirts and a hoodie. Among the shirts is a simple one sporting only the album cover of the record. It also featured shirts themed around songs from the album like “7969 Santa” and “Bahamas Promises.” The prices range from $45 for the simple t-shirt all the way up to $225 for the special FATD hoodie. For an artist so popular the volume of merch is expected to move quickly and fans are already rushing to get their orders in. Check out all of the pieces below.

Drake’s New Album Merch

Earlier this week, Drake celebrated his 37th birthday. At a party he threw the rapper was somehow able to pull off getting Breaking Bad stars Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul on board to serve drinks. Some artists like Nicki Minaj celebrated by sharing throwback pics of the two together. Others, lil Lil Yachty took a different approach.

The rapper, who has a notoriously funny relationship with Drake, took the opportunity to troll him. He took to his Instagram story to tease the release of a video he apparently has of Drizzy eating a glizzy. Thankfully for Drake, the actual video never emerged and it seems like Yachty was just giving him a hard time online to celebrate his big day. What do you think of Drake’s newest For All The Dogs merch? Let us know in the comment section below.

Beyonce Shares The Third Amazon Exclusive “Renaissance” Merch Drop

by

Fans who missed out on Beyonce’s original Renaissance merch line or the first two Amazon exclusive merch drops will get another chance. Earlier today Amazon Shopping confirmed that the third collection of Renaissance World Tour Merch was officially out. The new collection features a number of new t-shirt designs, a pair of new hoodies, and a new hat and tote bag. Specific sizes are already beginning to sell out so fans craving merch should absolutely hurry up and make their purchase.

The first drop of Amazon-partnered Renaissance merch came back in late June. The surprise announcement had fans rushing to their computers and the entire collection sold out quickly. The second drop of their collaboration ended with similar results a few weeks later. It’s unclear how many more drops they have planned for the collaboration. The Renaissance tour is slated to wrap up on October 1st with its final show in Kansas City.

Beyonce Delivers More Renaissance Merch

The Renaissance tour also hasn’t been without its controversies. Earlier this month fans were shocked to hear about a hostile workplace lawsuit filed against Lizzo. The same night the news dropped, Bey skipped over Lizzo’s name in the Queens Remix of “Break My Soul.” Fans were quick to interpret that as a shot at the “About Damn Time” singer even after Bey’s own mother tried to shut down the rumor. She seemed to confirm the lack of any issues at a recent Atlanta stop when she declared “I love you, Lizzo” during the show.

The shows have also attracted a massive celebrity audience. In just the Atlanta stops alone Chloe and Halle Bailey, Quavo, Summer Walker, 21 Savage, and more were in attendance. Pretty much every single stop on the Renaissance tour in both Europe and North America has been a hotbed for celebs. Even Lizzo herself popped up at a show in Poland a few months ago before her current controversy arose. What do you think of the newly released Beyonce merch? Let us know in the comment section below.

Coi Leray Shows Off The Merch From Her New Album

by

Coi Leray’s new album COI is right around the corner. The album is expected to be released later this month on the 23rd. Now fans can also expect to get their hands on some new merch related to the record. In a new Instagram post made today Leray showed off four new shirts that sport the logo and album cover from her forthcoming sophomore album. The captions of the post reads “Album Merch dropping 6/23 “COI” YOU MUST GET YOU ONE !!!!” Meaning fans can expect to get their hands on merch the same day the album releases.

In the lead-up to her new album Coi Leray has been quite prolific. Earlier this year she released a number of remixes from her 2022 single “Players.” The song has gone on to be a smash hit that peaked at number 9 on the Hot 100. She followed that up by teaming up with pop singer Sabrina Carpenter for a remix of her song “Nonsense.” Back in April David Guetta released his new single “Baby Don’t Hurt Me,” which featured Leray and Anne-Marie. That song has proved to be a slow-burning hit, moving up the charts each week in the past month to its current peak at number 82.

Coi Leray’s New Merch Drop

Since then, Coi Leray has dropped two new songs that will appear on the new album, “Bops” and “My Body.” Earlier today, Kid Cudi confirmed the line-up for the second edition of his Moon Man’s Landing festival. Cudi himself is playing, alongside other headliners Coi Leray, Lil Uzt Vert, and $uicideboy$.

COI drops later this month and has features from David Guetta, Saucy Santana, Giggs, Lola Brooke, James Brown, and Skillibeng. Some fan reactions to the seemingly random collection of features went viral after the album’s announcement. COI is following Coi Leray’s 2022 debut album Trendsetter which was packed full of features like Nicki Minaj, Lil Durk, and Fivio Foreign. What do you think of Coi Leray’s new merch designs? Let us know in the comments below.
