ASAP Rocky is nicknamed the Fashion Killa, and he didn’t let a crowd of fans stop him from entering his hotel for the Met Gala. In a viral video, the “Same Problems” rapper is seen hopping over a few bystanders waiting outside to gaze upon their favorite celebrities’ grandiose looks.

As the musician fights through the crowd, he eventually elbows toward the front. Then using his agility, he jumps over the hotel’s barricade. After making it over the border, he heads towards back to the crowd to say something, but he can not be heard in the clip.

A woman claiming to be in the viral video took to social media to recount the moment. She tweeted, “ASAP Rocky just used me to jump over the barricade, hello!”

Then after the video gained steam on social media, the same fan doubled back to add, “ASAP Rocky just literally jumped over me.”

When asked by another person to explain what led to the exchange, the woman replied, “He tapped my shoulder and was like, ‘Sweetheart, I need to get through,’ and I went, ‘No,’ and then he just shoved.”

It was rumored that ASAP Rocky’s sense of urgency was due to his need to prepare for the evening with his partner Rihanna. However, neither has been photographed on the red carpet as of this moment.

The first Monday in May is the fashion industry’s biggest night, at least here in the United States. The annual Met Gala gives music’s biggest names to team up with a celebrated fashion house to make a bold statement. So far, several recording artists caused some buzz on the red carpet. For example, David Byrne opted to bike to the event rather than take a luxury car service. There are many looks to gush over, but none like Lil Nas X.

The “Industry Baby” rapper isn’t shy by any means. On several occasions, he’s taken part in racy photo shoots, including his recent Playboy-theme birthday shoot. However, Lil Nas X’s nearly naked 2023 Met Gala red carpet look takes the cake.

Covered in chrome body paint, pearls, and other gems, Lil Nas was a glamorized cross between the Wizard Of Oz’s tin man and X-Men’s Mystique. Sporting bejeweled whiskers, he ade a bold reference to the late designer Karl Lagerfeld, who is being honored at the event.

However, it wouldn’t be Lil Nas X if he didn’t take a moment to troll those around him. When approached by the media correspondents on the carpet, instead of answering questions posed to him. He leaned into the role of a cat, meowing at reporters, which is another nod to the late designer who had a deep love for his Birman cat Choupette.

Diddy & Yung Miami Speak On Their Relationship At The 2023 Met Gala

It seems like the 2023 Met Gala is giving us not just exceptional looks, but also some piping hot tea. Moreover, Yung Miami and Diddy arrived together at the event and matched beautifully with their lavish black fits. On one hand, the City Girl rocked a ring of black fur around her shoulders, complimented by many pearl strings and a see-through black bottom dress. On the other, the Bad Boy mogul donned a black rose-accentuated cape and a striking black vest along with stylish shades. No matter their relationship status, they came with some regal looks to serve.

In fact, their rumored romance and relationship status became the center of La La Anthony’s conversation with them on the red carpet. Furthermore, she asked Diddy, “Do y’all officially go together real bad?” as Yung Miami stood by her side. As Sean Combs gave his answer, he stumbled on his words and playfully told her, “I don’t know what you’re asking.” Not only that, but at one point he asked for a cloth to wipe his face with, whether the heat was causing his sweat or the spicy questions.

Diddy Answers Spicy Yung Miami Question

“We go together real bad,” Diddy finally remarked as Yung Miami laughed at the interaction. “It’s just a good date night,” Caresha told Anthony, and the 53-year-old expressed a similar sentiment. “We don’t put titles on it,” he added on. “Everybody wants to put a title on it, we don’t put a title on it. This is like my best friend in the world, one of the most beautiful people God has blessed me to meet, and I’m blessed that she’s my date tonight.”

Of course, that interview was quite interesting considering that the “Don’t Play With It” MC previously confirmed that they had split. “We’re still friends!” she remarked to The Cut. “We’re still good friends! But we’re single. That’s not my man. We had our own situation, I’m not gonna put a title on it. We were f***ing with each other hard, we were together every day at one point. He supported me, I supported him. I’ll let the internet call it whatever they want to call it.” With that in mind, his flustered reaction makes much more sense. Regardless, keep checking in with HNHH for more on Diddy, Yung Miami, and the 2023 Met Gala. Also, peep more footage of them at the event down below.

Doja Cat Arrives In “Purr”fect Style At The 2023 Met Gala

by

The 2023 Met Gala is absolutely packed with fantastic looks, luxurious ensembles, and a whole lot of stars. Despite all the commotion, it’s no surprise that Doja Cat and her stunning choice of style is one of the most talked-about fits of the evening. Moreover, the “Freaky Deeky” rapper showed up in cat makeup and a sparkly white dress complete with cat ears, fully embracing her name. In fact, it’s a tribute to Karl Lagerfeld’s cat Choupette, as the German fashion designer was this year’s theme. Not only that, but Jared Leto had a similar idea, showing up in a full cat bodysuit before revealing his look.

However, it’s easy to see why the 27-year-old stole the show, with her creative mix of makeup and wardrobe to pay homage. Also, it’s quite the payoff considering the very minimal tease that she gave fans on Instagram of her Met Gala fit. While they didn’t have much to go by, they always count on Doja Cat to deliver some eye-catching fits. Among a lot of other astonishing looks and appearances, hers is emblematic of the creativity and bombast she’s known for.

Choupette Tributed At The Met Gala

In addition to all this, the Los Angeles native also updates her followers on upcoming new music. Specifically, she suggested that she would be dropping a single in the coming weeks while expressing frustration with reception to her latest hairstyle. “Saw somebody edit hair onto my head for this look i did last night and it made me mad so i wanted to let them know they should be making money instead,” Doja Cat tweeted. “Im also aware of the ramifications of the last tweet and that I’ll only be seeing edits of me with hair for the next 4 weeks so I’ll be logging off / deleting twitter till my lead comes out.”

All in all, she continued her streak of impressive and out-of-the-box fits at the 2023 Met Gala. Considering that allegedly she left her hotel either covered in umbrellas or held up in a plastic bag, the quality of her outfit made sense to be hidden until the big reveal. Furthermore, if you’re looking for more amazing Met Gala highlights, stay logged into HNHH.

Kendrick Lamar Previews 2023 Met Gala Fit

by

Kendrick Lamar isn’t usually one to indulge in the heavily documented and extravagant trappings of fame. However, sometimes he pops out for these massive events, and makes sure he astonishes while doing so. Moreover, he took to his Instagram Story to preview his fit for the 2023 Met Gala, in collaboration with Chanel. Specifically, he rocked a nearly all-black fit with a leather jacket, slick pants, dress shoes, and an MLB hat to boot. Furthermore, he complimented the look with a white sweater and an orange-white Chanel fabric around his waist, which could be a bandana as much as it could be a handkerchief.

In fact, perhaps this environment of luxury and beauty is more fitting for the Compton legend than many might believe. After all, the 35-year-old recently wrapped up the highest-grossing rap tour of all time, beating out names like Kanye West, Jay-Z, Drake, and Travis Scott. Along with his cousin, frequent collaborator, and pgLang partner Baby Keem, they rocked the world with their performances. Kendrick Lamar likes to let the quality of his music and artistry speak for him, and that’s exactly what backs up lavish looks like these.

What’s more is that it hasn’t even been a full year since his last album, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers dropped. Despite the short timeframe, fans still get ecstatic over Kendrick Lamar leaks no matter how old they are. In particular, two tracks recorded around 2013 recently surfaced online, showing us the creative process behind some of his greatest works. “Burn” and “Crooked” are just another example of the “United In Grief” MC’s tendency to best other artists’ released work with his throwaways.

Regardless, the former TDE artist is very serious and intentional with his art, so it’s understandable that many of his ideas don’t end up releasing. Moreover, Saviii 3rd recounted some important questions that he asks his collaborators. “One of the questions was: ‘Do you want to make music for your section, or do you want to make music for the world?’” he revealed. “Another one is: ‘What do you think your biggest flaw is when it comes to anything blocking your creativity?’ With this one, he put: ‘This is the one’ in parentheses, and he said: ‘What do you think is stopping you from being an ultimate superstar? Be truthful with yourself.’” Return to this piece with more pictures when Kendrick Lamar arrives at the Met Gala this year.

Ice Spice’s Debut Met Gala Look Is Giving “Princess Diana”

by

The Met Gala has barely begun, but already, we’re seeing what may be some of the evening’s most impressive looks. Co-chair Michaela Coel absolutely stunned in a golden Schiaparelli gown. Elsewhere, La La Anthony undeniably gave major goddess in her white gown. A fresher face who we’re excited to see make their debut at the event today (May 1) is Ice Spice, who was specially selected as Anna Wintour’s guest for the evening.

The 23-year-old worked with designers at Balmain for her gown, which came with a train that looks almost as long as another of the rap diva. It’s a relatively simple white piece, with flirtatious, sheer panels of fabric running along either side of her body. The elegant yet statement-making piece feels fitting following the arrival of her “Princess Diana (Remix)” with Nicki Minaj. If anyone deserves the title of the people’s princess in 2023, it’s obviously Ice Spice – especially in this dress.

Rather than wearing her hair in the famous red curls we’ve come to love, the “Bikini Bottom” hitmaker opted for a sleek, straight look with side-swept bangs. Fans were quick to notice that she’s not carrying a purse in hand for once, as she frequently does in her photos. Instead, she’s got a bedazzled camera, perhaps for capturing memories from her first time inside the Met Gala on film to cherish (and hopefully share on Instagram).

After sauntering down the carpet and sitting pretty for plenty of photos, the rising star briefly spoke with La La Anthony. “I’m just so grateful,” she gushed of her experience so far. “I was really nervous, like, approaching the carpet. Once I heard everybody screaming, I felt better.” Keep scrolling to see more of Ice Spice’s 2023 Met Gala content, and tap back in with HNHH later this evening to catch more iconic outfits from your favourite celebrities.

Here Are The Best Music Looks Of The 2023 Met Gala

The 2023 Met Gala red carpet is underway, and as usual, the annual event’s guestlist boasts a who’s-who of the music world. Recording artists who’ve attended in the past include Billie Eilish, who joked last year that her favorite part of attending is “judging” everyone’s looks, Cardi B, who often steals the show, even when she isn’t even trying to, Phoebe Bridger, whose 2022 look dropped jaws, even if it wasn’t what fans thought, Nicki Minaj, and Lizzo, who played a one-of-a-kind, $55,000 flute on the red carpet.

This year’s theme is intended to honor the late Karl Lagerfeld, who died in 2019 at the age of 85. Lagerfeld was a vaunted — and controversial — figure in the fashion world, known for guiding the creative directions of fashion houses like Chanel and Fendi and for wearing the kind of collars that would make Joe Pesci’s character in Goodfellas jealous. With fans already looking forward to seeing how their favorite stars choose to interpret the theme and reflecting back on prior looks running the gamut of everything from camp to religious irreverence, excitement on social media is high.

You can follow along with on Vogue‘s live stream and check out the best music looks, which we’ll be highlighting, here.

Rihanna’s Met Gala Fitting Involved $25M In Cartier Jewels, Sources Say

by

The Met Gala has been taking place for decades now. Still, in recent years, a handful of regular attendees have become known as the best-dressed among the rest. Within the group, you’ll find names like Blake Lively (who’s confirmed to be staying home this year), as well as Zendaya. Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and of course, Rihanna are also on the list. The Bad Gal’s first time attending the New York event was way back in 2007. However, her looks from years like 2015 (designed by Guo Pei) and 2018 (from John Galliano) are far more memorable.

Seeing as she skipped out on the 2022 Met Gala, many were unsure if we’d see Rihanna walk the red carpet – especially now that she’s expecting her second child with A$AP Rocky. Thankfully, she confirmed in a very bold way on Saturday (April 28) that we’ll be seeing her. She’ll likely be in Chanel at tonight’s function, which is paying tribute to the late Karl Lagerfeld. At the time, she stepped out for dinner in a vintage look from the French brand’s F/W 1994 collection. It came complete with monogrammed sunglasses and a larger-than-life black and white fuzzy hat.

Rihanna is Ready to Serve at the 2023 Met Gala

“Not even Monday,” the 35-year-old wrote in the caption of her latest Instagram post, hinting that her next fashion moment could be even wilder. According to Page Six sources, it may be far more sparkly too. Rihanna is rumoured to have played around with $25 million worth of Cartier jewels during her 3 AM fitting. It remains unclear at this time if she’ll be wearing just the diamonds – which certainly wouldn’t be surprising knowing her sultry style choices – or if they’re simply to accessorize whatever else she’s put together from the archives. Regardless, we’re beyond eager to see how she, and her budding baby bump, look in the coming hours.

Rihanna will certainly be in good company. Both Ice Spice and Kim Kardashian have already made it clear that they’ll be stepping out in their best-dressed too. The latter was seen exploring the city with her eldest daughter, North West, causing some to speculate that the 9-year-old may make her debut along with the “Princess Diana” hitmaker. Read more about what stars are rumoured to be appearing at the 2023 Met Gala here. Make sure to check back later for more pop culture and hip-hop news updates.

Lizzo All Smiles As She Attends Pre-Met Gala Dinner

by

Lizzo is in New York City, and she pulled up to Anna Wintour’s place last night for a pre-Met Gala dinner. The singer was snapped by paparazzi heading into the Vogue editor-in-chief’s home. In the photos, Lizzo is all smiles in a beautiful purple ensemble. She was flanked by assistants carrying umbrellas to shield her from the torrential downpour that was taking place at the time. It hasn’t been confirmed, but it’s expected that Lizzo will attend the Met Gala once again this year. She filled her fans in on how unglamorous fashion’s biggest night really is, at least to her … first complaining about the “long f***ing line” she had to wait in. She added there was no place to sit, either — saying “B***h? Can we get some chairs or some drinks or some hors d’oeuvres?”

Despite appearing happy and excited, Lizzo may have been mentally preparing herself for the wrath of Anna Wintour. Last May, the “Truth Hurts” singer took to Instagram Live to express her disappointment in the 2022 Met Gala. There, she criticized various aspects such as the alcohol options and photographers. Lizzo was allegedly supposed to perform a flute solo on the red carpet, but she only played part of it. According to her, it was because of paparazzi heckling. Lizzo’s frustrations continued when she finally made it inside, where a waiter informed her that only red or white wine was available, causing her to become even more agitated while searching for tequila.

Lizzo’s Luxurious Limo Pics

Lizzo posted some pictures from last night on her Instagram, as well. In the photos, she lounges in a limousine with her beau. Making use of various poses, the singer took advantage of the sexy setting and styling. Purple is definitely Lizzo’s color. The pop star looked positively radiant in her long gown and sunglasses. She captioned the post with the words “icons don’t sleep.”

Fans flooded the comment section on Lizzo’s Instagram post with support and love. “You definitely slaying in this purple mama,” one user said. “Prince would be proud.” More chimed in to point out how good the color looked on her, as well. “That purple on you >>>>>” another said. Others simply thanked Lizzo for being who she was. “You are so beautiful and inspiring!” one fan said. “Thank you for helping with my daughter without even knowing it!” For now, it looks like Lizzo is all smiles about tonight’s Met Gala. Let’s hope it’s better than last year for her! What do you think of Lizzo’s purple look? Let us know in the comments!
