Beyonce Visits Childhood Home, Teases Fans With New Merch

Recently, Beyonce brought her Renaissance World Tour to her hometown of Houston for the first time ever. Ahead of her show, however, she was sure to pay a visit to the place where it all started. She was spotted having a mini photoshoot in the front lawn of her childhood home. The Texas-born performer was joined by her mother, Tina Knowles.

Though it’s hard to get a clear glimpse of Beyonce in the clip, Knowles is seen rocking a cream-colored suit. The Renaissance Tour will run into October, with its final show being scheduled for the first of the month in Kansas City, UT. She’ll perform at Houston’s NRG Stadium on September 23 and 24, then head to New Orleans just before the tour closes.

The Renaissance World Tour has certainly been one for the books. Beyonce has shown off countless memorable looks, featured her daughter as a dancer, and more. Since she dropped off Renaissance in July of last year, fans have been eager to get a look at the accompanying visuals for the album. At the beginning of this month, it was reported that she’s been shopping a “visual album movie” around different studios and streamers. According to a source, “it’s like an art film,” and directed by Nadia Lee Cohen.

Fans are now more anxious than ever for some Renaissance visuals, and it appears as though Beyonce is well aware. Recently, she revealed some new merch at one of her tour stops, which seems to give a nod to the anticipation. “You are the visual, baby,” the t-shirt reads, also boasting some silver Beyonce artwork. What do you think of Beyonce’s childhood home? Are you a fan of her new merch? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Beyonce.

Doja Cat’s “Scarlet” Merch Comedically Addresses “Kittenz” & Illuminati Controversies

The controversies that Doja Cat has been caught up in so far in 2023 would be enough to drive some pop stars batty. Thankfully, the California native has a great sense of humour. This has allowed her to brush off unsolicited advice and profit from critics. On her new Scarlet album, Doja addresses some of the biggest headlines surrounding her name this year, such as her relationship with embattled comedian J. Cyrus. We know little about their romance behind closed doors. Still, the fashionista did hint at wedding bells being in her future on several songs.

Now that the 17-track LP is available for streaming, Doja has revealed what its accompanying merch line looks like. On Friday (September 22) afternoon, she hopped on Instagram to unveil a photo dump with some undeniably comedic pieces. “Wear my merch to increase power and gain XP or don’t & be a little b**ch,” she wrote in the caption. “[Your] choice lol.”

Doja Cat Continues to Troll Fans with Scarlet Merch

“Recovering Doja Cat Fan” is written across the front of one of the Planet Her hitmaker’s shirts. It comes in both white and pink colorways. Another graphic tee shows a glamorous photo of Doja beside a demon which reads, “Welcome to Hollywood, Beware of Skin Walkers,” along with other warnings. Of course, she couldn’t help but address those rumours regarding her involvement with a certain group by making an “Illuminaughty” tee too, not to mention her pink and white tank top that brushes off the “Kittenz” beef that unfolded between Doja and listeners on Twitter earlier this summer.

Doja Cat fans are no strangers to her trolling antics. However, when she shared her “Balut” single ahead of Scarlet‘s arrival, some genuinely felt disrespected by her. Rather than thoroughly researching the Filipino street food she named her song after, the 27-year-old incorrectly told her social media followers that the dish is a bird which is eaten while still alive. Read what critics had to say to Doja at the link below, and let us know if you’ll be purchasing any of her merch in the comments.

YG Is Selling Donald Trump Mugshot Merch

For those who don’t know, Donald Trump turned himself in at Fulton County Jail last week. He’s facing various RICO charges stemming from his alleged attempt to overthrow the 2020 presidential election. He was released on a $200K bond almost immediately, but that didn’t stop social media users from having a field day with the situation. Countless people were eagerly anticipating his mugshot, which the former president eventually shared on his own social media accounts.

As expected, Trump capitalized on the situation, and started selling merch featuring the image. He’s selling coffee mugs, posters, bumper stickers, t-shirts, and more. All of the mugshot merch also features the slogan “never surrender,” and the proceeds are going towards his 2024 campaign. With that being said, YG has now taken to social media, revealing that he’s selling his own Trump mugshot merch.

YG’s Trump Mugshot T-Shirts Say He’s “F*CKED”

Now, those who don’t want to support the campaign can rock t-shirts that say “F*CKED” underneath the historical image from YG’s lifestyle brand 4HUNNID. This doesn’t come as too much of a surprise, as YG hasn’t been quiet about his stance on the former president. He famously dropped the track “FDT,” which stands for “F*ck Donald Trump,” back in 2016 alongside Nipsey Hussle.

As expected, the mugshot’s reveal resulted in a barrage of memes, jokes, and edits on social media. Someone even decided to put Gunna’s face over Trump’s. Several artists have also weighed in on the debacle, sharing their takes on his arrest. Plies, who’s known to be vocal with his feelings towards Trump shared his thoughts on Twitter. “I Will Not Be Referring To Donald J Trump By His Name Anymore!!! From Here On Out I Will Be Referring To Him As ‘Inmate P01135809,’” he wrote. Chief Keef also chimed in, claiming that the former president will “run the prison.” Keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on YG.

Drake Drops “For All The Dogs” Merch, Fan Grabs His Neck During Tour Stop

Drake unfortunately didn’t drop For All The Dogs, his highly anticipated album, this week like many fans believed. However, we at least got some merch (a T-shirt) that’s now available on his official website. As such, it seems like the 6 God is pulling the classic move of doing everything for an album rollout before dropping the actual album. You can check out the shirt design below, and though it’s disappointing that it’s just a shirt, hopefully there’s more to come. During a recent stop on his “It’s All A Blur” tour with 21 S*vage, the Canadian superstar addressed fan anticipation for the canine-themed project.

“I know everybody’s upset because I didn’t drop my album last night,” Drake said during his performance. “I didn’t say it was dropping last night. So don’t be mad at me. I just said it was coming soon. It’s not going to be that much longer. Trust me, you know I got shows every night. But I promise you, For All The Dogs is on the way. If you never loved anything I’ve ever done in the past, I promise you, this album will be for you. It’ll be worth the wait.”

Drake’s For All The Dogs Shirt

However, that wasn’t the only notable thing that happened during this concert, and with all the antics and special guests he’s brought out, how could it ever be uneventful? As Drake walked out from the stands to the stage, a fan tried to grab his neck as he made his way past them. Champagne Papi seemed to laugh it off, but people’s obsession over his relationship and romantic tendencies have clearly led some to assume his kinks. That’s probably not something you want to test out on tour, but he seemed to take it all in good fun.

Fan Gets Too Close To Drizzy

Meanwhile, with For All The Dogs coming out soon, fans can’t wait for him to play some material from it while on the road. After all, “It’s All A Blur” still isn’t over, and it’s reasonable to assume that the 36-year-old wants this rollout to match his live shows. That being said, another tour for the album certainly wouldn’t hurt, and would fill up his pockets even more. On that note, buy the new For All The Dogs shirt here and log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Drake.

Chloe Bailey Teases Underboob While Modelling “In Pieces” Merch As Her Tour Kicks Off

The first leg of Chloe Bailey’s In Pieces tour saw plenty of exciting milestones for the 25-year-old back in the spring. Her debut solo album arrived to far less fanfare (at least in terms of first week sales) than expected, but still, she put on incredible shows at venues all across the country as celebrity friends and her fans cheered her on. Earlier in the summer, Bailey confirmed her plans to head out on the road once again, and today (August 22), the time has finally come for her second round of performances to begin.

We’ll surely see the Swarm actress showing off her favourite outfits and moments, both on and off stage, over the next few weeks. Before that though, Bailey gave us a look at the merchandise that will be available throughout the In Pieces tour with some sultry new snapshots that flaunt plenty of the singer’s underboob. “In honour of today’s first show on tour… ✨NEW MERCH AVAILABLE ON MY SITE AND AT THE SHOWS ✨. See you tonight San Diego 😍,” the black-haired beauty captioned her post.

After tonight’s show, Bailey will travel to Anaheim on Wednesday, where she’s slated to perform at the House of Blues. Following that comes concerts in Denver, Minneapolis, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Toronto, Norfolk, Charlotte, Tampa, and finally, Fort Lauderdale on September 10 at Revolution. Later that month, you can catch her overseas in London on the 21st at O2 Shepherds Bush Empire.

Elsewhere in the news, the elder Bailey sister proved how much she has her little siblings back earlier this week by shutting down ongoing speculation about the 23-year-old being pregnant. After wearing several oversized outfits, the internet was quick to assume that Halle and DDG have a bun in the oven, though that’s apparently not true. Read what Chloe had to say to Halle’s haters at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Lil Durk Addresses Active Shooter And Merch Theft At Chicago Concert

Earlier today (August 13), it was reported that a Lil Durk concert at United Center in Chicago ended early due to reports of an active shooter. Videos emerged of crowds evacuating the venue, as did videos of attendees looting unattended merch stands. There was already some skepticism about the claims, with police scanner accounts claiming that arena security had already confirmed that no shots had been fired.

The situation has since been clarified. Police are now investigating as to who was responsible for the false reports of an active shooter, which caused mass panic and the premature end of the concert. No injuries have been reported and no arrests have been made. While some attendees still claim to have heard shots, no evidence to corroborate that has been found. Furthermore, Lil Durk himself has now addressed the events that went down.

Lil Durk Speaks On Chicago Concert

Taking to Instagram, Lil Durk addressed the various claims coming out of the Chicago concert. “Don’t believe the hype. We bigger then [sic] big. Thank you Chicago 🐐, till next time. And who all stole the merchandise – tag me so I can repost y’all crazy ass ❤️‍🩹.” While Durk mentioned the merchandise theft, his response did not mention the allegations of an active shooter. While “don’t believe the hype” could refer to those stories coming out of the concert, it’s more likely that line is simply a lead-in for “we bigger than big.”

However, Durk’s call for the fans who took merchandise to make themselves known has led to several fans making an interesting connection. Durk has been linked to the murder of FBG Duck through an FBI informant. Documents relating to the case were published on Instagram over the weekend, with Durk and his brother both being mentioned by a confidential informant. Several fans have taken this to mean that Durk is actively working with law enforcement. There are a lot of developing stories surrounding Lil Durk. Make sure you stay up to date with all of them here at HotNewHipHop.

Travis Scott Gives Fan “Utopia” Merch And His Shoes At Dublin Show

Travis Scott has made a big deal about the release of his upcoming album, Utopia. For months now, he’s been carrying around a briefcase handcuffed to his wrist. Furthermore, he’s teased fans with images such as a recreation of the iconic Abbey Road album cover. We still don’t know exactly when Utopia is dropping, though new billboards in LA suggest that it could be July 21. However, if nothing else, Scott certainly knows how to build hype.

However, before Utopia drops, Scott is making a plethora of appearances. Prior to Rolling Loud in late July, Scott is appearing at Rolling Loud Portugal and Wireless. Furthermore, Scott kicked off the month in Dublin, Ireland with a couple of shows at Longitude Festival. It’s here that Scott had a very memorable encounter with a musically-inclined fan.

During his set at Longitude, Scott could up close and personal with the throbbing mass of fans at the barricade. Picking out on fan in particular, Scott began to rap back and forth with the fan, who eagerly responded. The back-and-forth continued, with Scott getting more and more hyped up about the interaction. When the verse ended, Scott pulled off his shirt, an unreleased Utopia merch item, as well as his Air Jordans. Fighting back the sea of grabbing hands, Scott handed the items to the fan he had rapped with.

In the comments of the video, which was reshared by No Jumper, many people joked about the fate of the fan. “Bro did not leave with those shoes 😭,” remarked one person, with another adding “yeah he getting robbed.” Meanwhile, someone else mused that Scott “Should’ve gave bro a guard too 😂.” However, we hope the fan made it out unrobbed and is enjoying what is likely the most unique concert experience of his life.

Drake Reveals New Merch From 21 Savage Tour

Drake and 21 Savage dropped one of the most popular albums of last year with Her Loss. Now the pair are taking the record on the road with a massive summer tour. After a few delays they are finally getting underway. The tour starts next week with back to back shows at Chicago’s United Center. They’ll follow it up with 55 more shows over the next four months. The tour will conclude in Columbous on October 9th.

Now, Drake has posted a tease of some of the merch fans can expect to see at tour stops. The two shirts he showed off have the same design in yellow and black. The minimalist logo features the name of the tour “It’s All A Blur” in plain text backed by the OVO owl. It’s unclear if this motif will carry on through all the merch or if there will be more designs on sale. When fans are let into the Chicago show next week pictures of the merch are likely to make their way online quickly.

Drake Teases It’s All A Blur Merch

Earlier this year, Drake returned with his new single “Search & Rescue.” The song debuted at number 2 on the Hot 100 and has racked up over 150 million streams since its release. Drake has popped up on two other new singles so far this year as well. He made an appearance on Popcaan’s “We Caa Dance” back in January and on J Hus’ “Who Told You” earlier this month. He also appears on two tracks’ from Young Thug’s newly released album Business Is Business. Drake was seen in Memphis the other day shooting a music video for the record.

Music isn’t the only way Drake is getting his writing to fans. Last week he announced the release of a new poetry book called Titles Ruin Everything. The book received quite a bit of criticism from various fans and critics online after it was dropped. What do you think of the merch from Drake and 21 Savage’s tour merch?

Beyonce Drops Exclusive New Tour Merch With Amazon

Beyonce’s Renaissance Would Tour has fittingly take the world by storm. Every time she performs fans flood to social media to see what new outfits she’s debuted and which celebs were spotted in the crowd. Just last night she performed in Warsaw with Lizzo, Zendaya, and Tom Holland in attendance. Though Queen B has been touring in Europe for a while she gave her U.S. fans a treat this morning in the form of new merch.

In a tweet this morning Amazon Music announced the surprise drop of new Beyonce merch. The Amazon Music x Beyonce Collection Drop 1.0 appears to be the first in a series of new merch drops. The collection includes, two shirts, a sweatshirt, sweatpants, and a poster. It can be purchased exclusively from Amazon. While they are currently still available the expectation is that they will sell out quickly. Much of the original Renaissance merch flew off the shelves last year. That material was sold through Beyonce’s own website and included pieces that were completely unavailable after just a few hours.

Beyonce Unveils New Merch

Almost everything that has happened on the Renaissance Tour has been news worthy. Last week Beyonce narrowly avoided a major wardrobe malfunction during one of the stops. The quick thinking of one of her frequent collaborators on stage saved the moment. She’s also been donating money to various businesses along the way. The most recent donation helped save a North London restaurant from closing due to rising energy costs.

Queen B and husband Jay-Z also recently stopped by Paris for Fashion Week. They made an appearance in support of Pharrell at the Louis Vuitton fashion show. It was Pharrell’s debut collection as the Head of Menswear at the company and celebrities showed out in bulk. Also in attendance were Kim Kardashian, Rihanna, A$AP Rocky, Tyler, The Creator, Pusha T, and Offset. Jay-Z, Tyler, and even Pharrell himself took the stage to perform after the show.

Drake Releases “Hotline Bling” Pool Merch

Drake‘s “Hotline Bling” turns eight this year. One of the biggest songs of 2015, the song is certified diamond. Furthermore, it peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. “Hotline Bling” was kept off the top spot by Omi’s “Cheerleader”, which was released a week before “Hotline Bling” and spent the first three weeks of August holding down the top spot. Subsequently, the charts were dominated by The Weeknd’s “Can’t Feel My Face” and “The Hills”.

As well as being one of Drake’s biggest hits, the song has enjoyed plenty of staying power. This is due to its presence in a number of memes and parodies. However, not everyone was a fan of the song. The track got mixed reviews upon release, as well as being accused of promoting sexism and glorifying being controlling in relationships. Regardless, Drake is throwing back to the track in a new merch line.

A post shared by Drake Related (@drakerelated)

According to the Drake merch site DrakeRelated.com, the Toronto rapper is dropping some limited-edition “Hotline Bling” merch just in time for summer. “This can only mean one thing. Start wearing less, and floating more. Hotline Bling + @Funboy Pool Float and Beach Towel now available on DrakeRelated, while supplies last,” the site announced on Instagram. The collection comprises two items. First is a pink beach towel with the “1-800-Hotline-Bling” written on it. Second is a pink pool float shaped liked a cell phone. Both items cost $69.

It’s a bold choice for Drake to launch limited-edition merch nearly eight years after the song they relate to was released. These products will more than likely sell out in the next few days. However, the sentiment was repeated numerous times in the comments of the release announcement. Furthermore, $69 is a lot for a towel, especially one with such a simple design as the one released. However, as mentioned, fans tend to hold “Hotline Bling” in high regard so don’t expect these products to be available for too long. What do you think about the merch drop? Let us know in the comments. Follow HotNewHipHop for all the latest music and merch news.
