SZA Can Not Believe Her Martin Scorsese Name-Drop, Earned Her A Subtle Co-Sign From The Filmmaker Himself

December 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It appears SZA is grateful she abandoned her intergalactic trip to Saturn. Yesterday (December 20), after a slight hiccup SOS Deluxe: Lana was finally uploaded to streaming platforms. Among the 15 new tracks, SZA couldn’t help but make yet another movie reference. On the first installment of the musical series, Quentin Tarantino’s 2003 hit Kill Bill was her film fix.

But now SZA is all about coveted filmmaker Martin Scorsese, and he is all for it. Over on Instagram, Scorsese’s daughter Francesca shared a subtle stamp of approval from her and her dad. With a photo of her father (viewable here), Francesca used SZA’s track “Scorsese Baby Daddy” that name-drops Martin along with the caption: “SZA, Queen sh*t”

Well, shortly after SZA shared her geeked about reaction to the show of love. “The fact that this isn’t AI, and it is actually Martin Scorsese ,” SZA wrote in her repost.

Although the song doesn’t reference any of Scorsese’s award-winning films, it does something even better—hail Scorsese has the king of dramas.

“I rolled up all my problems / And then I smoked about it / I could’ve called my mom up / I’d rather f*ck about it / Addicted to the drama / Scorsese baby daddy / Right there, just a little further down / Got a brand new reason to spiral out / Bad mood, baby, come work me out / Oh, I’ma crash out, baby, don’t slow me do,” she sings.

Given that SZA’s recent interaction with Ben Stiller online led to him starring in the music video for “Drive,” this could be the start of an epic visual saga.

Listen to SZA’s song “Scorsese Baby Daddy” above. SOS Deluxe: Lana is out now via Top Dawg Entertainment/RCA Records. Find more information here.

The Weeknd’s Music-Based Film With Jenna Ortega & Barry Keoghan Gets Release Date

December 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Weeknd will release his upcoming album Hurry Up Tomorrow on January 24, 2025, but that’s not the end of his rollout for this blockbuster finale of the moniker’s career. Moreover, Lionsgate is also putting out a film of the same name, which will star the Toronto superstar alongside Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan. It will reportedly release on May 16, 2025, Trey Edward Shults of Krishna and It Comes At Night will direct, and will apparently be a “musically driven psychological thriller.” In fact, some rumors predict that it will be a soft reboot of Misery with Abel Tesfaye playing a famous singer and Ortega playing an obsessive stalker.

All of this is good news for fans of The Weeknd who want to celebrate the end of this After Hours trilogy with a bang, as it seems like they will have a lot to indulge in. It’s been a big year for him even outside of the lack of an album drop, especially given his involvement in the Kendrick Lamar and Drake beef. But that was more of a casual and arms-length effort, showing love to GNX and seemingly shading Drizzy all throughout.

Now, though, all sights are set on Hurry Up Tomorrow, both the album and this film. “I look in the mirror and feel both old and new, stuck in limbo and unable to move,” The Weeknd expressed in a teaser clip for the upcoming record. “I still haven’t faced myself. More songs could help, but what do I have left to say? Woe is me in my gilded cage, right? The very thing that once made me invincible failed me on the world stage. A new trauma surfaced, opening floodgates. A new path awaits. When today ends, I’ll discover who I am. Hurry Up Tomorrow.”

In addition to all this hype, The Weeknd will also celebrate the release of Hurry Up Tomorrow with a one-night-only show at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California. From the details we know from a press release, it’s shaping up to be one of his biggest and most impressive performances ever, which is saying a lot. Let’s see if the album – and film – lives up to expectations…

Yesterday, The Weeknd teased that he has a “new movie” coming out in 2025. We now know exactly when.

The film stars The Weeknd, Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan, and has been described as a “musically driven psychological thriller.” (There’s also been rumors that it’s a “loose remake” of 1990’s Misery with The Weeknd as a famous singer and Ortega as a “deranged fan/stalker.)

Hurry Up Tomorrow shares a title with The Weeknd’s upcoming album, out January 24, 2025. In a teaser video for the album, he said, “I look in the mirror and feel both old and new, stuck in limbo and unable to move. I still haven’t faced myself. More songs could help, but what do I have left to say? Woe is me in my gilded cage, right? The very thing that once made me invincible failed me on the world stage.

Megan Fox Reportedly Found Things On ‘Unfaithful’ Machine Gun Kelly’s Phone That She ‘Didn’t Like’

A month after announcing that they were expecting their first child together last month, Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly broke up. The initial report from TMZ claimed that the pair ended things over Thanksgiving weekend, with the reason for the split being that the Subservience actress found “material on MGK’s phone that was upsetting, and it made her want him to leave the trip early.” The report continued, “MGK dipped out of the trip early, and since then, the former couple hasn’t seen each other, and they are not together at this time.”

More details have since emerged about what happened.

“There’s no doubt in Megan’s mind that he has been unfaithful,” a source told The Daily Mail. “She knows his past with women. That’s what encouraged her to look through his cell. She hates the fact that what she suspected about him is true.”

A separate insider told Us Weekly that Fox is “trying to focus on being positive” after finding things on the “Taurus” singer’s phone “that she didn’t like,” which made her “not trust him again.” They added, “There are huge trust issues between them. This has happened many times before, but this time hurt even deeper because she is pregnant. She has said she isn’t getting back together with him and is moving on.”

Both Fox and MGK have children from previous relationships.

Owen Wilson had an epic weekend. On December 14, the Loki actor stormed the stage of Rolling Loud Miami 2024 with headliner Travis Scott.

But when Wilson was not serving as the hype man during Scott’s performance of “Fe!n,” he enjoyed other musicians’ set from the crowd. One of those performances included Sexyy Red. While hip-hop know the “Pound Town” rapper as a provocateur, Wilson was completely unaware. During Sexyy Red’s Rolling Loud Miami 2024 set, Owen Wilson was spotted looking on in utter shock. Well, the now-viral clip captured by a festivalgoer (viewable here), made its way back to Sexyy Red’s desk.

Yesterday (December 15), Sexyy Red took a moment to address leaving Wilson speechless. On X (formerly Twitter), Sexyy reposted the video with the caption: “Dats my baby Owen .”

That flirty response was enough to jump start Sexyy’s followers inner matchmaking skills. Others are now eagerly awaiting Wilson’s forthcoming film inspired by the festival. If Sexyy Red twerking was enough to knock him off of his feet, he has a lot of work to do to prepare for his upcoming role.

For true Sexyy Red fans, this isn’t even her most memorable Rolling Loud Miami moment. Back in 2023, Sexyy Red took was escorted onstage by shirtless men on leashes.

Travis Scott Joined By Owen Wilson Onstage At Rolling Loud Miami For Film Shoot

December 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Travis Scott was one of the headliners for Rolling Loud Miami’s tenth anniversary this weekend, and unsurprisingly, he seemed to have a blast while closing out Saturday night (December 14). In fact, he even had a very special guest to join him onstage: Owen Wilson. It seems like we might see this moment in more elaborated full-screen glory, as he and Matt Rife will reportedly star in a comedy film about the hip-hop extravaganza. It will presumably come out at some point next week, and they filmed on location to bring the crowds and festival energy to life as closely as they could.

Owen Wilson was clearly fiending for more, and Travis Scott was happy to oblige as always. What’s more is that fans of La Flame are fanning the flames of another hype cycle, as he apparently will drop more music very soon. Of course, we can’t put too much stock into these rumors and promises, especially with the long wait for UTOPIA still relatively fresh in our minds. But considering how good the album was, fans are more than ready to wait for greatness.

Travis Scott & Owen Wilson Turn Rolling Loud Up

Still, that’s not to say that everything about this whole UTOPIA run was smooth sailing, as he sued a tour production company for $100 million. Apparently, Show Motion Engineering damaged his brand and caused significant financial losses by failing to deliver on their promised set design and using the Houston artist’s image and name to boost their own profile without authorization. A lot of fans probably didn’t even notice there was an issue to begin with, since the trek was so elaborate. Just goes to show that so much onstage magic has way more context behind it than concert-goers can gather.

As for Owen Wilson’s set cameo, we’re very curious to see how this Travis Scott performance could tie into the Rolling Loud movie or if it was just a one-off special guest appearance. The latter is an electric performer, so he could’ve probably met a Lifetime actor onstage and still created the same momentum. We’ll see if fans will get a chance to indulge in this excitement again in 2025.

Yesterday (December 14), Travis Scott made his return to Rolling Loud Miami. But the “Mo City Flexologist” rapper’s highly anticipated set was not just about him. During Rolling Loud Miami 2024, Scott used his headlining appearance as character development for one notable actor.

As Travis Scott transitioned into his beloved song “Fe!n” he was joined on stage by an unlikely duet partner Owen Wilson. In the now viral clip (viewable here), Travis Scott took Owen Wilson under his wing to deliver a high energy performance of the standout Utopia track.

Although Wilson didn’t quite have the lyrics to the song memorized he did introduce it with confidence. “I’m feigning for more,” Wilson yelled to the sold out crowd.

As for Scott and Wilson’s shocking collaboration, according to Deadline‘s latest report it could be field research for the actor’s upcoming film, Rolling Loud. The forthcoming film, which is inspired by the namesake music festival, will star Wilson and comedian Matt Rife.

The picture is described as: “An overprotective father (Wilson) who makes a bold parenting decision when he sneaks his 13-year-old son into the world’s largest hip-hop music festival, setting off a chaotic adventure with his reckless co-worker (Rife) and an eccentric festival volunteer as they navigate wild crowds, security, and their own family dynamics.”

With this information handy, attendees are interested to see what behind-the-scenes moments from Rolling Loud Miami makes it to the big screen.

Eminem Will Have A Role In Adam Sandler’s Sequel For “Happy Gilmore 2”

December 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Guess who’s back? Back [on the big screen] again? It’s Eminem, and he’s coming to a major project that’s coming out sometime next year. According to XXL, comedian extraordinaire Adam Sandler made an appearance on the Dan Patrick Show to discuss Happy Gilmore 2. Yes, after nearly 30 years since the original classic, a sequel is currently in the works. In fact, when the interview between Patrick and Sandler was posted online, they were wrapping up filming. Netlfix announced in May of this year they were picking up the project, so it looks like it won’t have a theatrical release. Still, given how many fans adore the inaugural film, it should get a lot of streams.

Speaking about its premiere, that remains to be seen. Sandler was not able to give a clear-cut answer to Patrick when asked. “I don’t know 100%, but I think around July. Not July 4, but we’re trying to get it done in time for July. (But) you never know what’s going to happen. We’re just finishing today.” That was the theme for most of their chat, as Sandler was not able to share a lot of information regarding its plot or characters.

Adam Sandler On Eminem’s Acting Chops

However, he did manage to share some anyway, especially in the cameo department. As we hinted at the beginning, Eminem was going to be involved one way or another. From the sounds of it, he won’t have a major role. But Sandler was very impressed with his work on set. “Eminem was cool. He came by and he was great,” he began.

“He came and was funny as hell. I think we just hung out a day with Eminem. He just shot and shot and it was insane. [He] said a million things that we can use and a million things that we’re glad we have them on tape.” Funny enough, this isn’t the first time that these two have been in a film together. Back in 2009, Slim Shady, Sandler, Leslie Mann, Seth Rogan, and Jonah Hill were in a project called Funny People. Other notable cameos in Happy Gilmore 2 will include Bad Bunny, Travis Kelce, among others.

50 Cent Says His Diddy Documentary Is Struggling To Keep Up With New Lawsuits

December 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent is one of Diddy’s most vocal opps these days, taking every chance he gets to clown him for his abhorrent allegations and one-up him as a businessman. But that rivalry has a couple of challenges on the horizon. One of them concerns Fif’s purported documentary on the Sean Combs scandal, which will apparently move to Netflix. While the G-Unit mogul seems quite excited to bring it to life, he also recently admitted on GMA3: What You Need To Know on Friday (December 13) that the wave of more and more allegations has made it difficult to fully complete this media endeavor.

“It’s a difficult project because every day, there’s new accusations coming out, it’s new things that happened,” 50 Cent remarked. “So, it’s become an octopus, with so many powers and so many things going on.” Then, he answered a question about whether or not he expected the Diddy allegations to reach this point. “No, not this bad. Not this much stuff. I don’t think anyone could have anticipated this many accusations and things that have taken place.”

50 Cent At His Humor & Harmony Weekend

What’s more is that 50 Cent is apparently interested in churning out plenty of documentaries on controversial and explosive pop culture topics, especially those at the intersection of crime, politics, and entertainment. For example, he recently suggested that he wants to produce a doc on Luigi Marone, the alleged assassin who murdered UnitedHealth Group CEO Brian Thompson. “I don’t know, I kinda like this killer,” Curtis Jackson wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post. “I’m sorry this is going this way it is but I’m doing a documentary on him, he is special! I apologize in advance for to anyone who doesn’t understand.”

Meanwhile, 50 Cent also likes to insert himself into a lot of other unrelated pop culture drama, such as the cheating scandal between Claressa Shields, Papoose, and Remy Ma. With this in mind, we wouldn’t express surprise if he decided to build out his Diddy documentary even more or indulge in other interesting documentaries. Maybe not all the topics 50 wants will pan out, but it’s why he’s a mogul: he’s got the cash to make it happen.
