NBA YoungBoy Teases New Music On His Cat’s IG Account

December 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week, NBA YoungBoy took to social media to preview some upcoming music. He unveiled a snippet of a previously unheard track, providing listeners with a taste of what’s to come. Instead of using his own page to tease the song, however, he used his cat Neon’s account. He has a rocky relationship with the platform, coming and going periodically. For now, his personal page is deactivated, which might explain why fans heard the snippet from his furry friend.

“My daddy in this b*tch,” he captioned the menacing bars on Neon’s behalf. So far, most listeners are digging the passionate track, but have yet to hear an official release date. He requested for the terms of his house arrest to be relaxed earlier this week so that he can start working in outside recording studios, however. This suggests that he could have plans for a new project in the works.

While fans are glad that they might be hearing some new music shortly, his request also cited his “deteriorating” mental health, sparking some concern. “Being confined to his home and unable to complete his employment obligations has led to great anxiety, depression, loss of weight, and sleep. Mr. Gaulden [NBA YoungBoy] has been visibly stressed and has expressed concern and loss of hope that he will be able to return to his contracted employment obligation,” his lawyers explained.

They also argued that his “limited ability to produce quality recordings” has impacted his sales. According to them, the 24-year-old has already “exhausted all his options for recording in his home with a very limited production crew.” How do you think the song sounds so far? Are you looking forward to hearing the full track? What about him previewing it using his cat’s Instagram account?

King Harris’ Brother, Domani, Addresses T.I. Fight

December 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Domani says he advised his brother, King Harris, to “just relax,” following the 19-year-old’s recent fight with their father, T.I. He reflected on the altercation during an interview with Baller Alert on Friday. The fight occurred at the Falcons game at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium, last Sunday, where the family was invited in honor of the 50th anniversary of hip-hop.

“I think everything King is trying to say is just coming off, he’s using the wrong words, I feel like, and I told him this,” Domani said. “I feel like what he’s trying to say is [that] what was on TV is not exactly what actually happened, and I think he’s only trying to say that because people try to treat him… I don’t know what be going on when he go outside… I think he [was] just trying to say he went to school from his grandma house, he stayed at his grandma house.”

He continued: “I think just us, as in the Black community, I feel like… we just treat kids differently when their parents are successful. So I think right now we’re just witnessing how a family deals with that. How a family deals with that backlash growing up in school ‘cause we all went to regular schools, public schools.” Check out his full comments with Baller Alert below.

Domani Discusses King Harris’ Recent Antics

In the days after the fight, T.I. downplayed the seriousness of it during a post on his Instagram page. While promoting his and King’s appearance on Complex’s GOAT Talk, he wrote: “Fck what dis internet talkin bout… Da HFamily Tied Like a Knot. We all We Got…4LIFE… Ima RIDE to da heavens or da depths of HELL bout my Jr.& ain’t nothing gon change that.” Be on the lookout for further updates on King Harris on HotNewHipHop.

Taylor Swift’s 2023 Spotify Earnings Are Over $100M: Report

December 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

This week, Taylor Swift was named the most-streamed artist of 2023 on Spotify. It didn’t come as a huge surprise, as the hitmaker has had a major year. She kicked off her record-breaking Eras tour in March, which is expected to earn her roughly $4 billion.

She went on to release an Eras concert film in October, which has grossed an additional $250 million worldwide since it came out. On top of the massive success the Pennsylvania native has had with her tour, she also released several re-recorded “Taylor’s Versions” of her albums. Swift dropped the deluxe edition of her 2022 LP Midnights in May, as well. The 33-year-old has had a busy year, to say the least. Luckily for her, however, her hard work has truly paid off.

Her music garnered a staggering total of 26.1 billion streams worldwide on Spotify this year so far, passing up artists like Drake, The Weeknd, Peso Pluma, and more. She even topped Bad Bunny, who was named the most-streamed artist of the past three years in a row. According to Billboard, this also means a massive payday for the “Karma” performer, who’s expected to earn roughly $101 million in Spotify royalties alone by the end of the year. Once publishing revenue is factored in, that totals up to about $131 million.

This number also doesn’t include other major streaming platforms, such as Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music. On those three services combined, the outlet estimates that she’s gotten around 38.3 billion streams in 2023. That equates to roughly $160 million in recorded royalties, and with publishing also added in, $200 million total. What do you think of Taylor Swift’s 2023 Spotify earnings?

Jennifer Hudson & Common Enjoy Usher Concert, Jacquees’ Girlfriend Stuns R&B Icon

December 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jennifer Hudson recently put her rumored romance on full display, stepping out with Common to enjoy an Usher concert over the weekend. As expected, Usher plucked Hudson from the crowd, enchanting her with his dance moves. She’s far from the first celebrity gal the R&B icon has serenaded in recent months, even earning himself the nickname “Mr. Steal Your Girl.”

He refutes the title, however, telling The Breakfast Club in September that men shouldn’t hold back from bringing their ladies to his shows. “I’m the guy who tells you, ‘don’t leave your girl around me.’ So you should come with your girl,” he explained. Obviously, Common took notes. He appeared to be in good spirits too, however, laughing as Hudson and Usher had their moment. While Usher certainly managed to sweep Hudson off of her feet, it looks like she had the same effect on him. He grew wide-eyed when he caught a glimpse of her figure, seeming taken aback by her beauty.

He didn’t hold back when sharing his appreciation for Hudson with the crowd, in typical Usher fashion. The hitmaker also recently went viral for his reaction to Jacquees’ girlfriend. He was audibly struck by her when he spotted her in the crowd, shouting, “Oooh!”

Jacquees looked stunned and slightly confused by Usher’s response to his partner, simply smiling as the performer held his chest in shock. Fans are finding both of their reactions hilarious, calling Usher a “menace” in the comments section. The “OMG” artist did give Jacquees a shout-out at one point in the show, perhaps making up for his less-than-discreet response to his girlfriend.

21 Savage’s Stage Exit Goes Viral As Fans Clown The Rapper

December 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

21 Savage has gone viral as he continues to tour Europe. At the end of his first-ever concert in London, Savage awkwardly jogged off stage. What made the sight all the more bizarre was that Savage kept yelling “Keep screaming till I leave the stage” to get the audience hyped up. The way he runs off stage is very reminiscent of the way that Weasel runs in The Suicide Squad – it’s all limbs and awkward gaits. Check out the hilarious video below.

Fans were quick to (lovingly) clown the rapper. “Everything about this is hilarious,” one person wrote on social media. “This is why Savage the best, he always doing funny sh-t like this,” added another. Savage has received an electric welcome across Europe as he embarks on his first-ever international tour. Finally getting his green card has allowed Savage to plan concerts beyond the US for the first time in his musical career.

Furthermore, the night before his concert, Savage received a huge welcome at the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal honored the British-born rapper. Arsenal presented Savage with a custom #21 Savage jersey. The #21 jersey is currently worn by Fábio Vieira, who joined the Gunners from Porto in 2022. After the game, Savage also linked up with Emil Smith Rowe, Arsenal’s 23-year-old midfielder. Also following the game, the Emirates Stadium made sure to play Savage’s bar from “Circo Loco” about the team winning the Premier League.

Savage couldn’t have picked a better game to attend. Arsenal dismantled French side Lens, scoring six goals to officially win their Champions League group. However, Arsenal have one more match in the group stage. The Gunners travel to the Netherlands to face second-place PSV in mid-December. Furthermore, Arsenal currently sits at the top of the Premier League. A late goal at away against Brentford over the weekend moved them one point clear of Manchester City.

21 Savage Teased That His Next Solo Album Would Be Released Soon During His Homecoming Show In London

December 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In October, after years of immigration conflicts,”Spin Bout U” rapper 21 Savage received his green card. That meant he was finally cleared to travel internationally without restrictions for work obligations. On November 30, he returned to his home country, England.

A visibly cheerful 21 Savage was met with thunderous applause. The warm welcome at London’s O2 Arena by the crowd continued throughout the sold-out show, which featured openers Baby Drill and 21 Lil Harold. As he felt the overwhelming support from attendees, 21 Savage treated them to details surrounding his next solo project.

“London, I love y’all. I hope this ain’t my last time seeing y’all,” he announced. “And my album finna drop, so y’all get ready.”

Yo Gotti Performs “Down In The DM,” Angela Simmons Reminds Us She’s His Forever Crush

December 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Angela Simmons and Yo Gotti have known one another long before they united as the power couple standing before us today, but that doesn’t mean the CMG boss’ feelings for his other half have diminished. If anything, they’ve only grown stronger as he continues to incorporate her in virtually everything he does. Even before they were dating, Gotti made his love for the footwear designer known on his famous “Down In The DM” single, which remains a fan favourite to this day. As they move into the next year of their relationship, the Southern star felt it was about time to have his other half join him on stage for a performance.

Earlier this week, the “Pose” hitmaker was entertaining the crowd on his Gangsta Art tour, looking more confident than ever in a bright red ensemble. While spitting the catchy lyrics to his 2016 track, Simmons slowly rose from underground on a platform, everyone watching on erupting in applause. “I got a crush on Angela Simmons,” Gotti raps, his partner in crime looking as fiery as him in a cherry-coloured skin-tight dress.

“Still ,” the 42-year-old wrote in his caption when sharing the moment with social media. He hasn’t dropped any hints at proposing to Simmons just yet, though we’d be more than happy to see the lovers take their relationship to the next step in 2024. As the fashion icon continues to grow into herself amid a health and fitness journey, Gotti is proudly supporting her while letting his light shine too.

Yo Gotti and Angela Simmons first crossed paths long before becoming the superstar duo we know today. Since finally confirming their relationship with fans, we’ve only seen them fall further in love with each other – a trend we hope to see continue in the new year.

Jeezy Denies Jeannie Mai’s Infidelity Claims

December 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jeezy has disputed claims made by his ex-wife Jeannie Mai that he was unfaithful. If true, this would trigger the fidelity clause in their pre-nuptial agreement. “Any claims of infidelity on Mr. Jenkins’ behalf are 100 percent false and we have no further statements at this time. The statement was made by the rapper’s rep to US Weekly.

Jeezy was indirectly accused of infidelity by Jeannie Mai in recent court filings. “Wife reserves the right to amend this counterclaim to add other grounds for divorce. But which Wife does not wish to specify herein at this time in the hope this matter can be resolved without having to disclose such conduct publicly. Wife further shows that the Court should enforce Paragraph 8 of the Prenuptial Agreement. This regards infidelity which provides, in pertinent part, that in the event that either party engages in sexual relations, an emotional relationship, or is emotionally or sexually suggestive in communication with a third party via all forms of electronic communications, including but not limited to texting, sexting, Facetiming, social media and/or Direct Messages, shall result in a significant financial penalty upon the adulterous party,” the motion from Jeannie Mai read.

Jeezy Accuses Jeannie Mai Of “Gatekeeping” Their Daughter

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

The once-seemingly perfect marriage between Jeezy and Jeannie Mai has devolved into an ugly divorce battle in the courts. This week, prior to Jeannie Mai’s infidelity allegations, Jeezy accused his ex-wife of “gatekeeping” their daughter. Furthermore, he also pushed for a more consistent custody schedule. “The lack of consistency, continuity, and stability inherently associated with such a haphazard and fluid parenting time schedule is stressful to the Child. And it has, as is unfortunately inevitable with all families in transition, created unnecessary tension and confusion regarding not only parenting time but also in regard to each parent’s role and rights when the Child is in their respective custody,” the filing read.

Additionally, Jeezy alleged that Jeannie Mai was doing this intentionally in order to sabotage his relationship with their daughter. “[Mai’s] interference with [Jeezy’s] relationship with the Child, again, while not generated from or with malicious intent, is nevertheless, causing confusion and tension between the parties and is working to stifle the development of [Jeezy’s] relationship with the Child,” the motion further reads.

Beyonce & Sexyy Red Dominate Our New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update: Stream

December 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Even though the year is about to end, our new Fire Emoji playlist update– which covers the best bangers in the hip-hop realm each week– is still stacked. Leading the way is Sexyy Red with the release of the deluxe version of her album, Hood Hottest Princess. Moreover, the St. Louis MC had plenty of jams on here, with “Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Dad)” and “Ghetto Princess” with Chief Keef being particular standouts. In addition, we also had Beyoncé grace us with a new track “My House.” It’s a triumphant, boastful, genre-fusing, and above all energizing cut with some incredible production and cohesive progressions.

Furthermore, BigXthaPlug made a big impact on Fire Emoji this week with his new album THE BIGGEST. While there are many more notable efforts here, the track “CLIMATE” with Offset is a cold and grimy highlight. Keeping with that hardened street perspective is NBA YoungBoy’s new song “Run,” which is a little more melodic. Regardless, it still presents itself as a gritty narrative, one accentuated by the Baton Rouge MC’s harsh delivery and relentless flow.

HNHH Fire Emoji Playlist: Stream

In a totally different lane on our Fire Emoji playlist update are Flying Lotus, Smoke DZA, and the one and only Black Thought. Their new collaboration “Drug Trade” already came out earlier this year, but this new “Pt 2” remix adds a skillful verse from Benny The Butcher. Speaking of Griselda affiliates, Conway The Machine and Conductor Williams finally dropped their collaborative project CONDUCTOR MACHINE. 7xvethegenius steals the show on “Flame,” although the main artists do an amazing job in their areas, too. There’s a similar dynamic on Veeze’s “ATL Freestyle 1 & 2,” on which Luh Tyler and Rob49 meet the moment as special guests.

Rounding out our update is BabyDrill’s new song “Watchin Now,” which is one of the more chilled-out records from our playlist additions this week. Finally, Bas continues to build anticipation for his soon-to-come new album with his upbeat single “179 Deli” with AJ Tracey. Let us know in the comments what your favorite release of these was, and also what we missed this week. Check out our Fire Emoji playlist above and keep checking in with HNHH for the best new music around the clock.
