Kevin Hart Has Questions For Quavo At Michael Rubin’s Party

July 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kevin Hart has questions. And while the answers might never come, we have a video of the comedian dancing drunk at Michael Rubin’s white-out party from last weekend. Hart broke out his best dance moves — at least, the best ones in his inebriated state — to Quavo’s “Hotel Lobby.” The late, great Takeoff is also on the track. Kevin did the hip-hop world justice by being absolutely turnt and having himself a wonderful time with the music.

Kevin Hart posted the video to his Instagram with a hilarious caption. “Welp….My wife showed me this video, and I had so many questions,” he begins the post. He wondered where the Crocs came from, referring to the shoes he had on in the video. (He didn’t come to the party with those.) Hart is also curious as to whose glasses he’s wearing. The third question refers to his wife, Eniko, and why she’s always getting him hyped. But his best question is saved for last: “WHERE ARE MY F*CKING SOCKS AND SHOES?????”

Kevin Hart, Quavo, And One (Un)Forgettable Night

Kevin Hart — who was also seen with Druski at the Rubin party — let his fans know that “My dumbass was gone off that Miiinnnnoooo Liiiinnnnnoooo.” Mino Lino is a reference to Gran Coramino Tequila, which Hart co-founded with Juan Domingo Beckmann. Drunk off his own tequila, hyped up by Eniko (who recorded the video), he and Quavo pointed to the camera, feeling the entire vibe of “Hotel Lobby.”

As for Quavo, he had himself a good time too. He was partying with Tom Brady and Travis Scott earlier in the evening. And the host of the night, Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin, offered a potential answer to all of Kevin Hart’s questions. He commented on the above Insta post, “The answer to your questions is endless shots!!!!” We can give Hart a pass here because it looks like everyone was wilding at this white-out Fourth of July extravaganza.

Lil Baby Gives Back In His ‘Merch Madness’ Video With The Help Of Michael Rubin, Chris Paul, And More

July 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In the video for his new song “Merch Madness,” Lil Baby has some fun with the title’s sports-related concept by teaming up with a squad of athletes to show off his philanthropic side. Filmed at a youth event where NBA players like Chris Paul and Joel Embiid gave away gear backed by Fanatics, Lil Baby roams the halls of The Frederick Douglass Academy in Harlem, New York, and hangs out with the kids as they enjoy their new sports equipment.

Other cameos in the video include Baby’s fellow rappers Meek Mill and Quavo, NFL legends Eli Manning and Tom Brady, and Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin. The Merch Madness event, which took place on June 27, reportedly gave away over 300,000 licensed pieces to approximately 100,000 underserved youth in 100 locations across the US. In the song, Lil Baby highlights the endeavor, rapping on the chorus:

Merch madness, I done took it global
Jump back in my bag, did this one for the culture
Ain’t too good to give, my cup been runnin’ over
Made these millions for the kids, I gotta turn it over

Baby’s been growing his corporate partnership portfolio a bunch this year; in May, he announced a collaboration with Axe including his own manga, although in a TikTok he shot to promote it, he was less than impressed with the results of an AI anime filter.

Stephen A Smith Blasts Michael Rubin For White Party Snub

July 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Athletes, musicians, and other celebrities assembled in the Hamptons for the 4th of July. The star-studded bash was being thrown by Michael Rubin, the billionaire CEO of sports merchandiser Fanatics. It’s the third year that Rubin and his partner Camille Fischel have thrown a White Party for the 4th of July. There was a rooftop dance floor and contemporary art galore. Meanwhile, Lori Harvey filmed an impromptu TikTok fashion show in the kitchen. The food was top-of-the-line, including pizzas from Mark Iacono. Meanwhile, celebrity liquors could be spotted on every surface.

Entertainment was provided by Usher and Ne-Yo, while Travis Scott and Jack Harlow served as DJs for the rest of the night. Finally, the night was closed out by a fireworks show courtesy of Grucci, the family behind the Macy’s 4th of July show. However, one person who wasn’t there was Stephen A. Smith. Furthermore, the ESPN veteran seemed pretty upset about not getting an invite. He addressed the snub on a recent episode of The Stephen A. Smith Show.

Smith Complains About White Party Snub

We got a little beef for the White Party snub @michaelrubin! pic.twitter.com/U9bknYwsRs

— Stephen A Smith (@stephenasmith) July 6, 2023

“I got a little beef with my man, Michael Rubin,” Smith began. “You know, there was this little shindig in the Hamptons, a star-studded event in the Hamptons. I’m seeing Beyoncé and Jay-Z there. I’m seeing J.Lo there….I mean the list goes on and on. I see…I see the outfit on Kim [Kardashian]…I see the fellas there. Micah Parsons, James Harden was there. Joel Embiid was there. Jayson Tatum was there. Tobias Harris was there. You know, Tom Brady was there. Michael Rubin, I got no invite man. It’s a’ight though. Thought I was your homie. Now you act like you don’t even know me.”

He continued. “I understand, Michael Rubin. I understand, alright? Looked like a good time. I don’t know who looked the greatest. No one ever looks better than Beyoncé to me, just so you know. But J.Lo is right there. Kim Kardashian is right there. You got to give credit where credit is due. You know, I heard Taylor Rooks was there. She in this industry, she’s in the sports industry. How Taylor Rooks get invited but I don’t get an invite? Well, we know the answer as to why, is that I don’t look like Taylor Rooks.” However, Smith saved what could be construed as an egregiously sexist comment about the TNT/Bleacher Report personality by saying she has a “bright future in the industry.”

Boosie Badazz Wants To Attend Michael Rubin’s White Party Next Year

July 5, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Boosie Badazz has taken to social media to weigh in on Michael Rubin’s recent star-studded Fourth of July party. The annual white party took place in the Hamptons yesterday (July 4), and the event was packed with famous faces. Beyonce, Quavo, Tom Brady, Kim Kardashian, Kevin Hart, and more were all in attendance. Now, Boosie Badazz says that he wants an invite to next year’s party.

“@lilbaby4PF,” he began his Tweet, “TELL RUBIN I WANNA F*CK WITH THE PARTY NEXT YEAR ON THE CRUISE.” Boosie continued, saying “SH*T LOOK LIT,” and “IM GO TURN DAT MF UP.” The event was well-documented, with various celebs sharing their white party tales and photos on social media.

Boosie Says He Wants In

French Montana also attended Rubin’s Independence Day bash, posing for photos alongside Kendall Jenner, Lil Durk, Meek Mill, and more. The artist was also photographed with Travis Scott, who took the opportunity to tease his highly-anticipated upcoming album, UTOPIA. Travis arrived in his new white UTOPIA tour bus, prompting additional chatter about the new album. It’s clear that the party was one for the books, and it’s obvious why Boosie would want to be a part of the extravagant event.

Recently, Boosie also asked social media followers to give him a history lesson on the Fourth of July. “Everybody in my DM saying I should not celebrate Fourth of July if I love my Black people,” he said in a clip, “But I don’t really know the meaning of Fourth of July. I always thought it was some war sh*t.” The rapper added, “I’ve been celebrating the Fourth of July in the hood with fireworks since I was born.” Snoop Dogg came to the rescue, letting Boosie know a thing or two about the holiday. “It’s ya oppresses freedom celebration we weren’t free yet and that’s why call me Nefew I’ll game u up,” Snoop told him. He went on to say, “Juneteenth is our holiday of last free slaves.”

French Montana Next With The Michael Rubin Party Pics

July 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

French Montana got some incredible views at Michael Rubin’s Independence Day party in the Hamptons. This weekend saw multiple celebrities wear only white at the summer bash. And while Quavo has posted his own version of events, more and more photos keep surfacing from what looks like a legendary celebration. French is the latest with his views from the night’s festivities. “ABOUT LAST NIGHT! [Michael Rubin] APPRECIATE U FOR SENDING THAT CHOPPA,” he added in the captions. The first slide is a video of him entering the helicopter sent from the host to the hip-hop artist.

It becomes a party from there. The second slide is a photo of French Montana posing with Kendall Jenner. Druski, with his cowboy hat and anti-dress-code short shorts, dances around and daps up other guests in a soundless video. In the fourth photo, Lil Durk is chatting up French as dusk settles in. A collection of celebs — French, Rubin, rapper Meek Mill, basketball star James Hardan, and rapper Fabolous — came in for a group photo. Travis Scott and Kevin Hart make cameos in the later pictures, capping what looks like an unforgettable night.

Michael Rubin is the CEO of Fanatics, the number-one apparel company of sports memorabilia. He hosted this lavish party, sent French Montana a chopper to get him to the party, and appeared in a bunch of clout-raising photographs. French seemed to have himself a wonderful time, smiling in each and every pic in his Instagram photo dump. Rubin commented on the post, saying, “Hurting today!!!” Which means the drinks were most likely free-flowing.

As for French Montana, the “Unforgettable” rapper most recently released “Je M’appelle” in the summer of 2022. Since then, it’s been fairly quiet for the Moroccan-American artist. However, he’s been working on a life-story documentary since 2017 that was shown at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 16th. According to his Instagram, the movie “For Khadija” was produced by Drake and Diddy and tells the story of French Montana’s origins.

Kevin Hart & Druski Seen At Michael Rubin’s Party

July 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Michael Rubin hosted his white party on the 4th of July, and all of the celebrities came out to play in the Hamptons. While plenty of hip-hop stars graced the party and got decked out in all-white for the festivities, two comics were also there. Kevin Hart and Druski brought their charm to the party (if not exactly the drip). While it’s difficult to hear the video, the assumption is Kevin is dogging on Druski’s outfit, which is clearly not all-white and a little too liberal with the print patterns.

“I never knew Druski’s face was this big,” Kevin Hart says to the camera as he gets real close. His comment stems from the somewhat tiny cowboy hat Druski is wearing, his head popping out of his shirt as well. Kevin gave him one of his patented confused/disgusted stares before issuing the comment. Druski couldn’t help but keep laughing. The duo seemed to be having a wonderful time at Michael Rubin’s Hampton hang. And what respected comedic pair wouldn’t dog on each other?

What Kevin Hart & Druski Are Up To?

A post shared by 2Cool2Blog (@2cool2bl0g)

Kevin Hart has simply been Kevin for the last couple of years. Ever since his infidelity back in 2017, he’s stayed in his lane as one of the best comedians in the world. He has talked about mental health with Method Man, has given props to Ice Cube, and has wondered with Jadakiss: How many chains are enough? No doubt he kept the jokes flying towards Druski — and everyone at the party, to be honest. (No one is safe when Kevin Hart is in the vicinity.)

Druski is currently blending comedy with hip-hop, bringing Kodak Black out onto the stage during his Florida tour dates. He also defended Chloe Bailey for poor album sales. Druski and Kevin Hart are funny men in their prime. They’re invited to Michael Rubin’s exclusive party and hamming it up with hip-hop celebrities. They are stars in their own right, for sure. But mixing them in with the kings and queens of rap makes for an even better evening.

Travis Scott Teases “UTOPIA” With New Tour Bus

July 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Travis Scott is gearing up to release his new album UTOPIA, very soon. However, it is still unknown when he will drop the project. Based on some billboards, a lot of fans think this album is going to be coming out on July 21st. Although, this has not been confirmed. What we do know is that Travis has been busy in Europe thanks to numerous festivals. Furthermore, he has seemingly been filming some sort of album trailer that will most definitely get all of his fans very excited.

Overall, Travis Scott has always been extremely protective of his art. When Astroworld came out, it wasn’t until a few weeks before that we got the release date. Additionally, the only lead single from the album that had dropped prior to the project’s release was “Butterfly Effect.” Clearly, Travis is doing the exact same thing with UTOPIA, and fans are more than excited to see how all of this is going to shape up in the end.

A Party To Remember

A lot of fans are very eager to hear this album. After all, Travis Scott has proven himself time and time again to be a great album artist. Some artists are better at giving hit singles.

Drake Incessantly Trolled Sixers Owner During 2019 NBA Playoffs

June 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The 2019 NBA playoffs saw the Toronto Raptors win their first-ever title behind first-year head coach Nick Nurse and league superstar Kawhi Leonard. Their title run was full of memorable moments, including Kawhi Leonard’s four-bounce rimshot buzzer-beater to sink the Sixers in the second round. The Raptors would eventually win the title with a 4-2 series win over the Golden State Warriors.

Meanwhile, Drake became a persistent figure on the sidelines, cheering on his hometown team. Drake has an interesting history with Toronto sports. A string of failures by teams from the Canadian city, often after Drake was in attendance or shoutout the team, has led fans to declare the rapper to be cursed. However, not only did the Raptors win the 2019 title, but Drake also tormented a then-owner of the Sixers with some masterful trolling.

Drake Had “No Chill” After Game 7 Buzzer-Beater

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by All the Smoke (@allthesmoke)

Appearing on the All The Smoke podcast, Michael Rubin, who owned a stake in the Sixers between 2011 and 2022, revealed just how much Drake had trolled him. “My worst memory of Drake is in the middle of Game 7 of the playoffs, he sends me a picture of himself wearing Sixers shorts. He said, ‘I’m coming for you,’” Rubin recalled. “As soon as I saw him in Sixers shorts, I said, ‘We’re losing this fucking game.’ That jinx-ass muthafucka. Just put on these shorts and I knew it was a wrap.” Rubin was right, of course, as Kawhi Leonard ended the game with the aforementioned four-bounce buzzer-beater. However, Drake was not done with Rubin.

“By the way, I’ve never seen someone FaceTime me more times and me ignore him more than after that game. He had no chill. We had just lost [to Kawhi’s shot] and he FaceTimed every two seconds. I just never picked up. I just went home depressed.” The pair apparently quickly reconciled, with TMZ spotting them gambling in The Bahamas after the Finals. However, Drake would also go on to reference Rubin in “When To Say When” on Dark Lane Demo Tapes. “I watched Michael Rubin win a million off a couple hands/ I decide what to see next like it’s on demand/ I decide what to be next like I’m switchin’ plans/ I’ma tell you what you feel next like the weatherman.”

Travis Scott Mentors Rookie Quarterbacks Alongside Tom Brady

May 19, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In a star-studded reunion that probably very few people expected, Travis Scott and Tom Brady teamed up to lend important advice to rookie quarterbacks. Specifically, they attended a luncheon hosted by Michael Rubin that brought together a few different star first-timers in their transition from college field to professional NFL stadiums. Moreover, this group included the No. 1 overall draft pick Bryce Young, CJ Stroud, Will Levis, and Anthony Richardson. Each had specific messages for the group, with Brady advising them to not let failure weigh down on them. Also, he remarked on not being satisfied with his pick at No. 199 during his draft, and how he kept aiming for more.

“I just outlasted everybody,” Tom Brady told the young players. “There’s another me back there. So how do I keep my edge on everybody? I had to keep working. I didn’t go, ‘Hey, I’m good, I won three Super Bowls.’” On the other hand, Rubin told the group that it’s not about your mistakes, but rather how you bounce back from them. “Every day we’re screwing things up,” he stated. “We’ve just got to get a lot more right than wrong and keep learning from it… The tougher s**t gets, the more focused I am.”

Meanwhile, Travis Scott’s message leaned more towards each player’s inner circle. According to La Flame, it’s important for each individual to have a core group of people that they can count on, learn from, and be free with. Not only that, but it’s also crucial to be able to hold them accountable, based on what the Houston rapper said. For those familiar with Travis’ involvements with Michael Rubin, maybe this link-up isn’t too surprising. After all, he was among the many famous guests at Rubin’s Super Bowl party.

Still, a big question must be bugging fans: “Trav, that’s cool and all, but where is Utopia?” He kept up a lot of teases and hints towards the album’s prompt release recently, making hype for it more fervent than ever. Even if he’s quite busy with that, it’s quite heartening to see him give his two cents to burgeoning players along with a business magnate and one of football’s greatest players. For more updates on these figures and the latest news on Utopia‘s release, keep checking in with HNHH.
