Bobby V Goes Commando In Viral Performance, Fans Can’t Help But Clown Him

March 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bobby V recently went viral for his recent performance, although it’s unfortunately not for the talent he exhibited during it. Rather, it’s actually for his exposed hips, since many fans noticed that he apparently wasn’t wearing underwear beneath his jeans, and proceeded to clown him online. “It might look good in person,” one fan joked of the Millennium Tour participant. “Freeballin jeans gotta be a incarcerationable offense,” another added, with a particularly cheeky fan referencing another fashionably provocative celebrity. “He got the low rise Britney Spears joints on lol,” they wrote, with a user providing the best possible pun around this. “Bobby just wanted to show yall his V.”

Furthermore, apart from this performance, Bobby V is pretty low-key and under the radar these days, which must feel nice. After all, even the happiest or most successful celebrity in the world can’t keep up with so much attention all the time. Regardless, he is still moving his career forward and making the best out of it, with some potential opportunities on the horizon. For example, Ray J said last year that he wants a Verzuz rematch with Bobby Valentino, Sammie, and Pleasure P.

Even [Bobby V], you switched sides fam. When I looked back you was on they side. I know ya’ll all from the A but God damn, we supposed to be a team.

“I over-rehearsed, you know?” he continued. “I learned from what I did wrong and I want my get back, too. Can ya’ll run me my get back? I’m ready to get back right now. Were we at?

Chris Brown Announces 2024 Tour Dates With The Help Of Ayra Starr & Muni Long

March 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Chris Brown’s hitting the road yet again this summer, and fellow musicians Ayra Starr and Muni Long will join him on the trek. Moreover, the 11:11 tour will kick off on June 5 in Detroit, Michigan and will cover many United States cities, as well as some Canadian spots; namely Montréal (June 20), Toronto (June 22), and Vancouver (July 27). The trio will embark on this journey for about two months before wrapping things up in Los Angeles, California on August 6. For those interested, the artist presale (password SENSATIONAL) goes live tomorrow (Wednesday, March 6) at 10AM, whereas the general public will gain access to tickets on Monday (March 11) at 10AM. Both time zones for the drop are unspecified, but they are presumably Eastern Time.

Furthermore, the “BEG FORGIVENESS” singer’s special guests are dividing duties. Ayra Starr will join the tour for its first few dates, performing from Detroit to Toronto from June 5 to June 22. Then, Muni Long will hit Chris Brown’s stage for a show in Boston, and then he’ll have two solo shows in Philly and Baltimore before bringing Long back for the remainder of the July and August dates. Seems like a pretty promising lineup for breezy summer days, right?

Chris Brown’s 11:11 Tour With Ayra Starr & Muni Long: See Dates

As such, fans are pretty excited about this new run of shows, even if the Virginia native has some heavier stuff on his mind. Reports recently emerged that he could lose his home to cover for his alleged $1.76 million debt to Popeyes in their legal case. For those unaware, the company sued Chris Brown and accused him of failing to fulfill his financial obligations for two restaurant locations that he invested in. Not only that, but the court is not obligated to warn him of when authorities could seize certain assets to reclaim the money they are supposedly owed

Meanwhile, it will be interesting to see whether there are any promotional or partnership hiccups for the 11:11 tour. After all, the 34-year-old accused Ruffles of blocking him from the NBA Celebrity All-Star Game recently. Although he is still reckoning with his past crimes, the debate on how far this leniency should go is a heated one. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest updates and more news on Chris Brown.

Jack Black Is Ready To Work With Britney Spears Right Freaking Now: ‘I’m Waiting By The Phone’

March 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jack Black and Kyle Gass (a.k.a. the melodious duo known as Tenacious D) dropped a cover of Britney Spears‘ debut hit “… Baby One More Time” on social media last week, which naturally, melted the faces of anyone who watched it. The cover was a match made in heaven, and Black is definitely ready to take things to the next level.

While walking the red carpet for Kung Panda 4, Black made it abundantly clear that the D is ready to collaborate with Britney at the drop of a hat. Just say the word, and they’re there.

“Britney, if you’re watching, I love you. I love the song,” Black told Entertainment Tonight. “I’m here! I’m ready when you are. I’m waiting by the phone. I got kicks! I don’t quite have Britney kicks, but you know, I got some moves.”

Black also hopes Britney saw the cover and liked what she saw.

“We’re very proud of it, [and] I hope you like it, too,” Black said.

The Tenacious D cover has already racked up over 3 million likes thanks to Black absolutely going for it. You can watch his madcap performance below complete with Gass pulling off his best dance moves in the background and the words “Baby” written across Black’s knuckle in this hilariously badass cover of a stone-cold classic:

Chloe Bailey & 4batz Set The Vibes For Our New “R&B Season” Playlist Update: Stream

March 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Our R&B Season playlist is back to round up some of the genre’s best adjacent releases of the week, and its first addition sets a moody tone moving forward. Moreover, 4batz continues his rise to the higher echelons of industry popularity with their new single, “act iii: on god? (she like).” It’s a pretty ethereal, melancholy, and slow-moving ballad that moves away from the rap fusions of previous singles like “act ii: date @ 8,” which is what we featured on here. Given the interesting dichotomy between his image and his actual vocal tone and singing style, this might go down as one of the most interesting careers to follow in 2024.

Furthermore, another great but more established artist on our R&B Season playlist update is Chloe Bailey, better known as Chlöe. Her new single “FYS,” or “F**k Your Status,” is a sultry and atmospheric offering that also goes in a slower and more drowsy direction. The In Pieces singer also moves between a couple of different-paced flows and deliveries to give some extra dynamism to the otherwise static and intoxicating sonic pallet. She already dropped a full-length last year, but fans hope that she reunites with her sister Halle for more music soon.

HNHH R&B Season Playlist: Stream

Meanwhile, the only project on display for this R&B Season playlist update is Kenyon Dixon’s new EP The R&B You Love: Soul Of The ’70s. It expands on his 2023 album, and features the gorgeous, tender, and romantic “Can I Have This Groove.” Not only that, but the project’s title is actually a really solid indicator of what this take on the genre sounds like if you’re familiar with 1970s releases. It may not move with the wildest progressions, but the musicianship and execution is sharp and locked in.

Finally, we wanted to shout out two more singles that you should give a try. “You Don’t Call Me” by PxRRY and featuring JON VINYL and Tone Stith, plus Honey Bxby and Busta Rhymes’ “Touchin’,” are two opposite ends of energy and vibrance that nail both approaches. Let us know what your favorite R&B Season inclusion was this week, plus what else we missed. Check out the playlist above and, as always, come back to HNHH for the latest great music drops around the clock.

Chloe Bailey Hits Instagram With Vacation Thirst Trap, Fans Turn Heads

March 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Chloe Bailey is out for a vacation, and her newest thirst trap on Instagram published Sunday (March 3) has fans wishing they were sailing the high seas with her. Moreover, Saweetie and plenty of other fans flooded the comments to praise her flaunted body and also remark on the strength of her latest single, “FYS.” It’s pretty much the perfect way to take a victory lap after a successful release, and it’s nice to see that the R&B singer can do so. Even though she dropped her album In Pieces last year, perhaps there’s more material on the way either as a solo artist or with her sister Halle.

In fact, the duo reportedly have new music coming very soon, which their fans are incredibly excited for. Their last release was 2020’s Ungodly Hour, which was one of the year’s biggest R&B releases and, sadly, something that’s kept die-hards fed in the long years since. Sure, Halle and Chloe Bailey have kept up with their own solo work, and even plenty of appearances in other entertainment such as acting and business ventures. Maybe the return will see them focus solely on music for the near future, or it will be a multi-media extravaganza.

Chloe Bailey’s Latest IG Thirst Trap

What’s more is that Chlöe is also engaging with fans with some homages to her favorite art, not just steamy IG snaps. She recently covered Muni Long’s “Made For Me” and published the rendition on the social media platform, and fans sent their flowers through. It just makes hype for more new music or content on the way, no matter what it is. Fortunately for Chloe Bailey, her versatile talent means that pretty much anything with her name on it will hit big.

Meanwhile, we’re sure that she’ll still come through with some more of her beauty online for fans to praise. But with a lot of anticipation building in 2024, fans hope that it doesn’t make up for a lack of material. After all, what good’s a thirst trap without a soundtrack? Jokes aside, stay logged into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Chloe Bailey.

SZA Visits Sesame Street, Shares Clip With Elmo & Old Tweet About Wanting To Join

March 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

SZA fulfilled one of her long-sought-after dreams as a musician and celebrity: having the honor of gracing the Sesame Street community. Moreover, she recently shared some clips and pictures on social media of her time at the kids’ television program. Not only that, but the TDE superstar also shared an old tweet of hers from 2017 on Instagram, in which she asks her followers how to get on the enduring classic show. As such, she now joins a long list of A-listers who’ve joined Elmo and the gang on the show, a crew that Lizzo also joined. She played a cookie flute on the series back in February of 2023.

In fact, this is kind of a notable addition to the Sesame Street canon because SZA and Lizzo are actually very good friends. Furthermore, it’s nice that they can bond over not just being two incredibly talented musicians and businesswomen, but also over their experience on the program. While anyone reading this probably isn’t in the demographic of Oscar the Grouch fans, it’s always nice to see these kinds of crossovers. After all, it at least gives folks hope that their kids can still be hip and learn a lot on this show.

However, this is far from the only thing that SZA had to celebrate and promote this week. She, along with the likes of Vince Staples and James Blake, will headline Jack Harlow’s Gazebo Music Festival in Louisville, Kentucky’s Waterfront Park for Memorial Day Weekend (May 25-26). Given all of the St. Louis native’s great performances in the past couple of years, this should be fantastic business as usual. It’s actually a really solid lineup, so if you want to see her and a slew of versatile and talented artists, give it a look.

‘The View’ Ladies Are Not Here For The ‘Innuendos’ And ‘Sexism’ Surrounding Joe Jonas And Sophie Turner’s Divorce

September 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The ladies of The View are not loving the “spin” around Joe Jonas filing for divorce from Sophie Turner. The pop singer made moves to end the marriage earlier this week, and since then, someone has been attempting to paint the Game of Thrones actress as a party animal who’s not tending to the couple’s kids.

The most recent addition involves photos of Turner drinking, which were published in the Daily Mail. However, The View co-hosts quickly jumped to her defense by noting some crucial context: Turner was at a wrap party for her new series Joan.

Via The Wrap:

“I think the spin of this that bothers me is, she’s working, he’s working,” Sara Haines said. “These weren’t new careers. They met on these terms. She’s at a wrap party for a show she did,” — Haines was referring to a photo of Turner out at a bar with people — “We have wrap parties here. You celebrate the end! So that isn’t just a bar that she’s out hanging out, she happens to be with her colleagues at a bar, celebrating the end of a series.”

Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin took things even further by calling out the shady reports of Jonas allegedly seeing or hearing something through the couple’s Ring camera.

“I sense some innuendo and undertones here of sexism,” Griffin said. “There’s even more out there, I don’t even want to give it steam, but like, alleging things that are on a camera without even saying what it was that they saw?”

Sunny Hostin, on the other hand, was far more blunt.

“I’m sorry, is this an immaculate conception?” she said in response to reports that Jonas had the children with him on tour. “So what, he’s taking care of the kids. Like, does he get a gold star?”

Safaree Credits Sean Kingston For Support In Hard Times

August 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Safaree decided to extend his gratitude to Sean Kingston. The Love & Hip Hop star took to social media to give the “Beautiful Girls” hitmaker his flowers. Safaree noted how Kingston had been there for him during some rough patches in his life. He also revealed that due to financial hardship, he had to say with Kingston and his family. “In 2016/17 I went broke and was living w/ @seankingston for almost 2 yrs. I am 4ever grateful to this man & his family! At 1 of my lowest times in life he held me down like no other!” he began.

Safaree continued: “That’s why I don’t pay attention to this internet sh*t. My level of love and respect for the family is beyond measures! I really appreciate and thank you all! I love y’all 4ever from the bottom of my heart!” He added,” Being there for some1 when they have nothing is a lot different than being there when it’s all good [prayer hands emoji] Be kind becuz you never know what somebody is going through.”

In other related news, the media personality recently offered his thoughts on men receiving child support. In his opinion, he believes women should be the sole beneficiaries of support. “A man getting child support is crazy. He might as well put on a dress,” he wrote in a recent Twitter post. The TV personality’s comments follow recent news surrounding Halle Berry and her ex, Oliver Martinez.

On a more sour note, Safaree’s Love & Hop Hop co-star, Amara La Negra, hinted that their reported relationship might not be real. “Safaree never said y’alls was in a relationship, either,” she said to a fan during her live session. “I’ve been single since the father of my kids, and I haven’t had sex since the father of my kids. Mama, mira, listen. Mira, mama. [Look, girl]. Let me put it this way. I’m a pretty smart girl, I believe that I am. I’ve come this far because I think I’m pretty smart. I get hired to do my job and I do what I have to do.”

Teyana Taylor Breaks Down In Tears During AfroPunk Set

August 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Teyana Taylor was spotted trying to hold back tears during a recent performance. During her set at Afropunk Brooklyn, the multi-hyphenate was overcome with emotion. Teyana was tapped as a guest headliner after Jazmine Sullivan dropped out to mourn her late mother. Despite all her success, the mother of two had doubts people would even want to see her perform. “I’m outside,” she said on stage while fighting back tears. “I always get scared to headline festivals because I never think anybody will stay for me. I just wanna thank y’all so much for staying out in this hot-ass weather for me.

She continued: “I wanna dedicate this song to y’all. If you came here with somebody you love even if you don’t know them just please look at your neighbor and give them a hug. Let’s just take this Black love in. We look so beautiful tonight.” Throughout the rest of her set, the singer performed a medley of her hits, including tracks from her past projects — like The Album and K.T.S.E.

Teyana Taylor’s Second Chapter

Despite her recent performance, Teyana Taylor has all but stepped away from music. As of late, she’s been focusing on artist development. She’s worked with the likes of Diddy, Latto, Summer Walker, and now Lil Baby. Teyana has reportedly signed on as creative director and co-producer on Lil Baby’s upcoming It’s Only Us tour. She took to social media to share the announcement with fans.

“He say ‘ITS ONLY US’ I say ‘IT’S ONLY UP’ from here! So let’s turn shit up a notch! Go time @lilbaby. Thank you @lilbaby & @qcmceo_p for trusting @theauntiesinc to creative direct & co-produce The #IOU tour! This one will be one for the books fasho!!

Vince Staples Jokes All Men Should Spend A Week In Jail

August 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Vince Staples has always been know for his eccentric point of view and zany antics. Recently, the rapper jokingly suggested that men would benefit from spending a week in jail. During an episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, Vince joined the crew to talk film, the music industry, and more. However, it was one moment in particular that caught fan’s attention. Vince claimed that if men spent a week in confinement, it might humble them.

“I also think we need a week in jail, just as men in general,” he began. “Like when you got to have a n*gga tell you, ‘hey, don’t stand up and piss in here,’ you learn boundaries and respect. Cuz you don’t know what he in there for or what he gone do to you.” He continued: “You learn, ‘aye man, it’s not always about me.’” Joe and his co-hosts could barely contain their laughter after Vince’s s

Vince Staples Also Shared His Thoughts On The State Of Music Festivals

Throughout the rest of the interview, he also discussed the decline in festival performances. In Vince’s opinion, how an artist performs has a significant impact. He noted it helps when the artist has a strong fanbase. “It depends on how you perform,” he said. “If your show is catered to a larger audience, it can work out.” He continued: “You can get on the festival stage and embarrass yourself. And if that happen, then it’s quiet… Are you making a show to entertain people or are you making a show to boost your ego?”

He added, “You have to create a show that’s for people that are passing by,” he said. “I learned a lot about that from Chance. We were on the Mac Miller tour a long time ago. The way he incorporated dancing, Lauryn Hill, and intertwining things that didn’t have much to do with him but the fans understood it and he made sure he was entertaining, by the time he got to the bigger stages he was a proven performer.”
