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?

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 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.

Lil Uzi Vert Teases “The Pink Tape” World Tour

by

Lil Uzi Vert is apparently going on a world tour in support of their upcoming album The Pink Tape soon, or at least that’s what recently surfaced pictures on social media indicate. Moreover, this comes after they reportedly announced a North American tour back in October of last year, although such plans fell through. Still, the “Myron” hitmaker captivated audiences all over through festival slots, public event performances, and more within the last two years. With their infectious stage presence in mind, a world tour would surely bring Uzi a lot of acclaim and commercial success. However, only time will tell, as these teases haven’t come attached with dates yet.

Furthermore, the whole reason behind this new speculation regards pictures posted online of Lil Uzi Vert wearing tour merch. To elaborate, Twitter recently went ablaze over Uzi rocking a “Pink Tape World Tour” shirt design, hinting at what was to come. Hopefully, this refers to a significant expansion of their planned North American trek. Given the superstar’s visibility and popularity at the moment, it would surprise no one if they’re able to sell thousands of tickets overseas. What’s more is that The Pink Tape, according to DJ Drama, is coming very soon.

Is Lil Uzi Vert Going On A World Tour Soon?

“It’s on the way,” Drama told Justin Credible on his podcast. “The Pink Tape– him and Cannon have been super hard at work. They’re in the process of pretty much finalizing the final sequencing and tracklisting of the project but it’s pretty much done. You’ll be surprised. You’re gonna get some of [Just Wanna Rock] as well as some other pockets.” Moreover, said news is also exciting because this would be Lil Uzi vert’s first headlining tour since they and G-Eazy embarked on “The Endless Summer” tour back in 2018.

Meanwhile, producer Don Cannon recently highlighted the Philly icon’s prolific and hard-working mentality in the studio. “We working on the album and he got 680 songs [from the last] 18 months,” he expressed. “I call him the Kobe Bryant when he was saying he used to shoot jump shots after the game. That’s what he doing. He give you a hit and do five songs a day. Nobody believe me. I bring them to the studio to see.” Let us know what you’re most excited about concerning The Pink Tape‘s rollout in the comments.
