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

by

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.

Beyonce Drops Exclusive New Tour Merch With Amazon

by

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. What do you think of Beyonce’s new merch? Let us know in the comment section below.

Drake Releases “Hotline Bling” Pool Merch

by

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.

“Hotline Bling” Pool Float And Beach Towel Released

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.

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.

Beyonce Gives Merch To Fans Outside After Making Music History With Barcelona “RENAISSANCE” Concert

by

Beyonce’s generosity truly knows no bounds. Since embarking on her RENAISSANCE World Tour earlier this spring, the “Diva” hitmaker has shared the “AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM” remix with Kendrick Lamar and announced her venture into the hair industry. On top of that, she’s also shared the stage with her eldest daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, on numerous occasions now, including on Thursday (June 8) evening in Barcelona, Spain. With each and every performance, Bey and Jay-Z’s firstborn only continues to get better, and the whole family couldn’t be more proud.

Following the show, Queen B surprised patrons once again. This time she stepped outside to hand some of them merchandise while thanking them for coming to see her perform. It was only a small group who had the opportunity to get up close and personal with the Houston native and Julius, her beloved security guard. They caught the wholesome moment on camera, and it’s since been making waves on Twitter where people have shared mixed reactions.

Queen B Takes Care of the BeyHive

Many are pleased to see Beyonce – one of the biggest names in music – being so humble and gracious, but of course there were still haters. Above all else, those who came face to face with the Grammy Award winner are being slammed the most for rudely demanding a photo with Bey as she handed them their free gifts. “It’s giving Princess Jasmine when she goes to the village and gives the apple,” one Twitter user wrote, referencing Disney’s Aladdin. “‘Cause they were acting starved af,” they added. Others hilariously compared the Destiny’s Child alum to well-known figures such as Robin Hood and Mother Theresa.

Aside from doing a good deed in Spain, Beyonce also broke a record in the country after 53,000 attended her sold-out stadium show. As That Grape Juice reports, this means the industry icon now proudly holds the title for the most attended concert by a solo female artist in Spanish history.

Freddie Gibbs has teamed up with HUF for a new skit promoting their upcoming collaboration. In the video, Gibbs performs a stand-up comedy routine with a joke about 2Pac. After the joke bombs, he storms off stage in anger.

“I wanted to be like 2Pac when I was coming up,” he explains in the video. “I was gonna call myself 1Pac.” He continued: “I was gonna be No. 1, even though he was 2Pac. I was gonna kinda be the second version of a ‘Pac. We was both gonna be ‘Pacs.”

Freddie Gibbs and HUF’s collaboration will be dropping on Thursday, May 25. The collection is called “After Dark We Really Come to Life” and features Las Vegas casino-inspired gear. Among the options are a satin jacket, track pants, and a craps skate deck.

While the new bit is a sketch, Gibbs has explored stand-up comedy before. He took his Cokane Comedy series on the road in 2021, bringing out Danny Brown. He’s also appeared in the Peacock series Bust Down. Speaking with Vulture, last year, he explained that he grew up with an appreciation for stand-up. “That’s something I started doing last year just to display comics. I love comedy, man, and I love putting it out there. I grew up watching Robin Harris, Martin Lawrence, Richard Pryor, Bernie Mac, and guys like that, I just love that world,” he told the outlet. He continued: “Yeah, I’ve been dibbling and dabbling in it, trying to get better. It comes naturally. Being onstage, being a rapper, and talking to people all day, it’s kind of easy.”

Freddie Gibbs Works With HUF

As for the music side of his career, Gibbs recently appeared on Kaytranada and Aminé’s joint project KaytrAminé. He is featured on the track, “letstalkaboutit.” Other guests on the album include Snoop Dogg, Pharrell, and Big Sean.

Cam’ron Facing Copyright Lawsuit Over Picture In Pink Fit

by

Cam’ron is facing a copyright lawsuit from a photographer that, back in 2003, took an iconic picture of his iconic pink fit. Moreover, the photographer claims that Killa Cam used the picture in various pieces of Dipset merchandise without giving her permission. Furthermore, Djamilla Cochran filed a complaint in New Jersey federal court on Tuesday (April 11), per Billboard‘s report. If you don’t recognize the picture off the description of a pink fur coat, hat, and phone, you’ll likely know it when you see it. Cochran claimed that he also posted her photography on social media to promote his merchandise.

According to the lawsuit, Cam’ron used the photo without authorization on various pieces of his merch line Dipset Couture. These include T-shirts, jewelry, a pair of shower curtains, pillows, and swimsuits. “Getty Images notified defendants of their infringing activities by mail and email on multiple occasions,” the photographer’s lawyers’ complaint stated. “Despite those notifications, defendants continued to sell merchandise and continued to display the photograph on website and accounts.” Apparently, the 47-year-old had plenty of time to respond to the claim before the complaint officially came forward.

Cam’ron Sued For Using His Iconic Pink Fit Pic Without Permission

Despite this legal roadblock, Cam’ron has a couple of other business ventures that are netting him more headlines than his merchandise. For example, there’s his successful sports talk show It Is What It Is, which had made him a pretty vocal and disseminated figure in topics such as NBA discourse. In fact, he recently addressed people trying to buy him out of his successful enterprise, although he did express gratitude for their interest and support.

“A lot of n***as hollering at me trying to buy my show and make my show a part of what they’re doing,” he stated via Instagram. “And listen, I appreciate the love. I appreciate the interest and everything else. This is fully funded by me. I ain’t gonna get no help, I ain’t got no partners. I ain’t got no bank that came and did all this s**t.” Despite his extracurricular endeavors, it will be interesting to see if he takes that conciliatory attitude to the court. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Cam’ron.
