Beyonce Vegas Residency Rumors Run Wild After Cryptic Live Nation Teaser

June 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rumors that Beyonce will soon have a residency in Vegas have been circulating for some time, and now, fans are more suspicious than ever. Earlier today, Live Nation Vegas took to Instagram to share a cryptic teaser about an exciting announcement coming tomorrow. The post features a photo of a cowboy hat-clad woman in the shadows, which many think could be the Queen herself.

Of course, the rumors are unconfirmed for now, though some fans are completely convinced. “Vegas, hold your horses…wild horses that is! Big announcement coming tomorrow!” Live Nation’s caption reads. Instagram users are hard at work debating in the comments section, picking apart the post in attempts to determine if a Cowboy Carter residency is imminent.

“If this isn’t beyonce yall wrong bcs yall know what you doing,” one fan writes. “Delulu hive can’t breathe,” someone else says. While many believe that there’s a good chance their announcement has something to do with Beyonce, others think it’s nothing but wishful thinking. “Yall this is not Beyoncé, yall even said this abt the Country Coachella weekend & she wasn’t thereGod save delulu hive,” one critical commenter says. “You can literally tell thats not beyonce look at the body,” another insists.

Aside from Beyonce, plenty of fans also theorize that they could be announcing something in relation to Lainey Wilson, who has a song called “Wildflowers and Wild Horses” which could be connected to the caption. It’s to be seen whether or not these theories prove to be true when the announcement is finally made. What do you think of rumors flying that Live Nation might be announcing a Beyonce residency in Vegas? Do you think it’s true, or is it nothing but wishful thinking?

The Weeknd Seemingly Teases Collaboration With Apple

June 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Weeknd appears to have something in the works with Apple after sharing a picture of framed photos of the company’s logo on his Instagram Story on Saturday. It would stand to reason that he took the picture at the company’s headquarters. He didn’t elaborate much with his caption for the post, only adding three emojis: the eyes emoji, the music notes emoji, and the film camera emoji.

The Weeknd has been teasing having another album in store for years at this point. In 2022, he revealed that his previous two projects, After Hours and DawnFM, were part of a trilogy. Additionally, he shared the cover art for both of those albums followed by a question mark on Instagram, earlier this year. In the caption, he only wrote the number three.

Despite not announcing his next album officially, he’s still been active with new music in the form of features. He recently made an appearance on Metro Boomin and Future’s collaborative album, We Still Don’t Trust You. Speaking with Spotify’s RapCaviar after its release, Metro revealed that he also contributed production for an upcoming album from The Weeknd. “Me and him working on a lot of stuff. You know, we cookin’ up for his new album. A lot of people gonna be real pleased and even more happier,” he said ahead of a show in Eygpt.

Kehlani & Lucky Daye Are As Sweet As Ever On Our New “R&B Season” Playlist Update: Stream

June 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Welcome to June, a month that not only kicks off our 2024 summer but has also brought us some killer tracks from the R&B world which we’ve compiled on our latest R&B Season playlist update. Up first is the new Kehlani single “Next 2 U,” whose music video advocates for folks suffering in Palestine in a powerful way. Moreover, the track mixes industrial distortion, heavenly vocals, a crisp percussive treatment, and wavy synths to craft a really unique and engaging cut. Whatever they’ve got cooking up on the upcoming CRASH, it’s sure to be another hit, as everything so far this year has been impressive on all fronts.

Next up is another R&B-rooted, but genre-fusing single, this time from Lucky Daye’s charismatic croons and lovestruck lyrics. “Soft” is anything but, as its energy really comes through thanks to driving guitars, spotlit vocal passion, a funky bassline, and drums that shift between hard grooves and more subtle approaches with ease. As far as the vocal melodies and the syncopation on display here, this is what brings the song its soul and personality to the fullest. Add on top of that a dynamic midway point and some soaring solos at the end, and you’ve got a full plate.

HNHH R&B Season Playlist: Stream

Another R&B Season highlight this week is Jessie Reyez and Big Sean’s “SHUT UP,” whose heavy bass and instantly boisterous flows combine its atmosphere with hip-hop. Still, the vocal delivery from Reyez is as sultry as you might expect from a more soulful cut, so there’s still a lot of stylistic overlap here. As for the Sean Don, he speeds up the cadence and flow a little bit and also rides some extra instrumental embellishments well. Some ethereal background croons give the song a little more room to spread out, but it works in its simplicity.

Normani also continues her 2024 run with “Candy Paint,” a more peppy and minimal single. Finally, we wanted to shout out Muni Long’s “Make Me Forget” for its classic feel and gorgeous vocal runs. Let us know what your favorite R&B Season inclusion was this week, as well as what else we missed, down in the comments section below. Check the playlist out above and, as always, check back in with HNHH for more great music drops around the clock.

What Did BIA Say About Cardi B On Her Diss Song ‘Sue Meee?’

June 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The next track-for-track rap beef is on the grill. Cardi B and BIA’s once subtle online dust ups have now become full-on diss records.

On May 31, Cardi B took the first direct shots on GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion’s “Wanna Be” remix. Today (June 2), after teasing a snippet on Instagram Live, BIA dropped the official audio to her response record, “Sue Meee?,” despite Cardi B’s threat of legal action.

So, what exactly did BIA say on the record? Continue below for more information.

What Did BIA Say About Cardi B On Her Diss Song “Sue Meee?”

Before BIA even rapped, she subtly shaded Cardi with stock audio, referring to Cardi B previously recording and sharing private telephone conversations online, reportedly including their exchange.

In the record’s opening, BIA, claimed that Cardi cheated on her husband Offset, speculated about her alleged gang affiliation, and subtly mentioned her best friend Star Brim.

“You a f*ck girl I see right through yah / Put it on your gang that they didn’t f*ck you in / Put it on your name since you so gangsta like your f*cking friends / Put it on your hubby since you love lying on your f*cking vows / I write all my verses I can do this sh*t for hours”

Then, BIA clowned Cardi for staying with her husband after he supposedly had sex with another woman in their shared home. She also attempted to poked fun at Cardi for allegedly out earning Offset.

“I’ll be damned if I let a n**** f*ck a b*tch inside my house / Your money long and you split that / Your n**** saying, ‘That’s ours’”

Next, BIA take aim at Cardi’s past cosmetic procedures and self-esteem while naming dropping her children, daughter Kulture and son Wave (who she shares with Offset).

“Put it on God that you ain’t change your face to mine / I’ll get on your ass hoe I don’t have to waste no time / Say you love yourself, but you won’t put that on your kids / All that surgery and how your body look so mid / Thought your ass was for the culture (Kulture) / You just trying to ride the wave (Wave) / You should be home with your kids ’cause you speak like second grade”

Lastly, she referenced Cardi B using outside songwriters such as Pardison Fontaine to allegedly write her biggest records.

“C-A-R-D, cry on IG / Catch another ‘tude ’cause she couldn’t catch a beat / Do I beef with you are beef with Pardi (Pardison Fontaine) / You been scrapping projects since 2019 / Weak ass b*tch

Megan Thee Stallion Fan Blasts Atlanta Mayor For Last-Minute Cancellation: Watch

June 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Over the weekend, Megan Thee Stallion was scheduled to bring her “Hot Girl Summer” tour to Atlanta’s State Farm Arena. Unfortunately, however, the hitmaker was forced to cancel due to a major water main break in the city. She shared the upsetting news with the Hotties on Twitter/X Friday night, leaving them heartbroken. To make matters worse, the announcement arrived only hours after Meg had teased a “special announcement” she planned to make later that night. Yesterday’s sold-out show was canceled too, and the performances have since been rescheduled for tonight (June 2) and tomorrow.

Some fans had already shown up to the venue before hearing the news, making them even more upset that they weren’t able to see the femcee’s show. She took to Instagram Live to chat with them about the unfortunate development last night, making it clear that the situation was out of her control. “Call the mayor!” she urged. “All day they’ve been telling us we can perform.”

The Hotties Stand On Business

@shariiah

yeah she called the mayor #countyourdays #megantheestallion #hotgirlsummertour #atlanta

♬ original sound – shariah

Of course, that’s just what fans did, as evidenced by a hilarious TikTok posted by user @shariiah yesterday. In the video, a disappointed Hottie is seen sitting in the car on the phone with the city’s mayor, airing her frustration over the canceled performance. She didn’t hold back in the slightest, telling officials, “count y’all days.” The phone call has now racked up over half a million views. Countless commenters are praising her for standing on business.

Fellow fans have also flooded her comments section with similar complaints, and are questioning why they weren’t notified about the cancellation sooner. What do you think of Megan Thee Stallion’s Atlanta performance getting canceled for a second time after fans had already arrived at the venue? What about disappointed Hotties calling the mayor of Atlanta over it? Can you blame them? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Before BIA Dropped Her Diss Aimed At Cardi B And The Rapper Hinted At Taking Legal Action

June 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

There’s a whole lotta drama online between Cardi B and BIA. For well over a year, the pair has exchanged subtle jabs online. On May 31, their tension was officially transferred to wax.

Cardi B fired off at BIA in her guest verse on GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion’s “Wanna Be” remix. Today (June 2), BIA responded with a track of her own, “Sue Meee.” The night before its release, BIA teased a shady unreleased song on Instagram Live.

Shortly after gaining wind of BIA’s lines, Cardi B took to her page to clap back and even threatened to take legal action over BIA’s accusations of adultery and supposedly spreading a fake sex tape.

“I’m a sue you and you got to come with receipts,” Cardi said. “And not social media receipts, court receipts. I will get every little f*cking red penny that you ever f*cking make b*tch. Every money that you make off your publishing. So find something safe to do.”

BIA laughed off Cardi’s legal plan in the caption of her upload. “Sue me,” she wrote. “That’s not hip hop .”

Cardi B claimed that BIA took to her private Instagram page to post a story, saying she isn’t afraid to face litigation: “Good luck you think I’m Tasha K.”

“Girl. Ask Tasha K. She couldn’t even lie on my p*ssy,” replied Cardi.

Cardi B Threatens To Sue BIA Over Diss Track: Fans React To “SUE MEEE?”

June 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rap beef feels like a hydra in 2024: one gets cut off, and about three more emerge to take its place in the conversation. Moreover, Cardi B and BIA officially entered the “on wax” portion of their once-rumored and now-apparent beef, as the latter launched the “SUE MEEE?” diss track against the former. The online consensus seems quite positive, as many had praise for the Massachusetts MC’s wordplay and flows, but others were too busy clowning or defending Bardi or expressing that the cut could’ve gone harder. Either way, the “Like That”-reminiscent beat and personal shots definitely set this diss in the pantheon of this year’s feuds.

Furthermore, this all came up because of fans thinking that Cardi B started to bite BIA’s style, a sentiment that the latter seemed in full agreement with. Of course, when it comes to influence and inspiration, not every single artist gets the proper credit that they deserve. But it’s also true that references don’t always indicate full biting, and that this is a pretty vague and up-to-interpretation debacle. No matter which side you fall on there, fans have a lot to say on the matter that could sway you to the other side.

BIA’s “SUE MEEE?” Diss Track Against Cardi B: Listen

Then, things got particularly heated when Cardi B seemed to diss BIA on the “Wanna Be” remix, a cut originally by GloRilla and Megan Thee Stallion. The REALLY HER spitter seemed to mock Cardi in response online, and now it’s more clear than ever that she really took this as a big dig. It’s always a tough call with subliminals, especially when the previous “evidence” of beef was just some social media speculation. Sadly, this happens to femcees far too often, but this time around, there was a lot of truth behind it. Check out some reactions to “SUE MEEE?” down below.

Fans React To The Diss

Right now, in the aftermath of this diss track, Cardi B and BIA apparently had a “very nasty” phone call about their differences. Cardi threatened to sue her for spreading rumors that the Bronx rapper cheated on her partner Offset, which some fans thought was a step too far in rap beef. Only time will tell whether Bardi will respond with a track of her own. So move over, Kendrick Lamar and Drake: it’s time for the ladies to compete for a title.

Sexyy Red Electrifies With The Roots Picnic Performance, Introduces Her Dance Team

June 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Sexyy Red is still on a dominant run, giving fans yet another energetic performance at The Roots’ Picnic Festival in Philadelphia over the weekend. Moreover, she ran through her steadily-building catalog of raunchy bangers, and the crowd seemed to be having a great time all throughout. In fact, one of the clips down below shows folks dancing to the music while very far away from the stage. In addition, the “U My Everything” MC showed off her dance crew, “Da Sexettz,” in an Instagram clip linked down below as well. All we can hope for is that she sustains this hype, work ethic, and lightning-in-a-bottle quality far beyond what her haters attempt to reach as far as her success.

Furthermore, it’s been a very eventful year for Sexyy Red so far on all fronts, and this continues her breakout 2023 in full swing. But things haven’t just been busy on the music release front: there have also been plenty of viral moments and antics to enjoy, discuss, or raise eyebrows at. One recent example was when she gave money to a homeless man, which of course prompted some debate over the sensitivity of recording and flaunting this. Many seemed to conclude that a good deed is a good deed, and after all, we have seen celebrities actually miss the mark in this regard.

In addition, there’s a big possibility that Sexyy Red has even more on the way for 2024. For example, Lil baby recently teased an upcoming collab with her that sounds a little more mellow and chilly than their previous link-up off this year’s In Sexyy We Trust, “Lick Me.” As for the Atlanta MC, he has a big comeback to make for fans who expressed disappointment with his 2022 album, It’s Only Me. Maybe this is what starts to fuel that fire again, but only time will tell.

Meanwhile, even the WWE can’t deny Sexyy Red’s greatness, as she recently joined the NXT event for the women’s category. It was a really cool moment to see, as there are always notable pop culture crossovers that can not necessarily elevate, but definitely present an artist’s profile as more versatile. If nothing else, we’re sure it was a big and well-earned check. We’ll see what else the Hood Hottest Princess gifts us in 2024, and what other performances get the crowd rowdy.

Rihanna Rocks Her Diamonds For A Girl’s Night Out In NYC

June 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rihanna may often be busy with family time, but she also proved on Friday (May 31) that she can make plenty of due time for her friends, as well. Moreover, she hit up Pergola in New York City for a girl’s night out, and donned some expectedly gorgeous drip for the occasion (click on the “Via” link down below to see pictures, as we can’t post them directly on HNHH). The Barbadian singer wore a black minidress with a zebra-print jacket, lots of diamond jewelry, blonde braids, and even a diamond flower clip for her hair. It’s never a surprise when she stuns with her fashion choices and sense of style, but it’s always a treat for fans who seek to up their fit game.

Furthermore, all this diamond embellishment makes a whole lot of sense right now, as Rihanna recently became the female artist with the most Diamond-certified singles in the RIAA’s history. She celebrated the occasion with a congratulatory post from Roc Nation as “Work,” “Umbrella,” “Stay,” and “Needed Me” all passed the threshold this week. It’s an amazing achievement and one that really speaks to these hits’ staying power, relevance, and resonance. RiRi’s other Diamond hits obviously include “Diamonds,” as well as “We Found Love” and “Love The Way You Lie.”

However, all these accolades do have fans pondering on a long-asked, desperate, and highly anticipated question: when will Rihanna’s next Diamond hit come out? Fans have been asking for the long-awaited ninth solo studio album for over eight years now, and while there have been a lot of teases and promises, they are still empty-handed. Regardless of the wait, more recent hints indicate that it might land sooner than we think. But at this point, it’s all just a guessing game.

Meanwhile, Rihanna is just as prone to pushing her own sense of fashion and style as she is to developing her status as an entrepreneur and businesswoman in that field. For example, she continues to seek new models for Savage x Fenty and did a lot of press as of late to push her brands forward. It’s a very exciting time with a lot of family, friends, opportunities, and events, although it’s strayed a bit away from why we fell in love with this career in the first place. But that could all turn around with R9, so let’s keep our fingers crossed.

Diddy’s Friends Knew Of His Alleged Abuse “All Along,” Boosie Badazz Theorizes

June 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that Diddy’s been subject to a tremendous amount of scrutiny since his ex-girlfriend sued him last year, accusing him of rape, abuse, and more. They settled shortly after she filed, though he was later hit with several similar lawsuits from other women. Things reached a new height in May when CNN obtained footage of the mogul physically assaulting Cassie at a hotel back in 2016. He’s since apologized, which didn’t do much to save his reputation. The footage corroborated some of the allegations Cassie made against Diddy and was enough to prompt explosive reactions from countless social media users and peers.

During a recent interview with VladTV, Boosie Badazz shared his take on the debacle, questioning why more of Diddy’s friends aren’t supporting him at this point. According to him, it’s likely that his friends knew of the alleged abuse long before the footage went public.

Boosie Claims He’d Still Be Friends With Diddy Despite Alleged Cassie Abuse

“I feel like his friends, they knew all along,” Boosie said. He went on to explain that he was raised to stand by his friends no matter what, and to stay out of others’ business despite how serious it may be. “How I was raised, if you beat your b***h that’s your problem,” he described. “It never made me say ‘You’re not my friend anymore.’ That’s what I stand on. I always stand on wrong or wrong right or right, you’re my friend. And I probably was raised a f*cked up way.” He continued, agreeing with DJ Vlad’s claim that compartmentalizes his relationships.

What do you think of Boosie Badazz’s theory that Diddy’s friends knew of his alleged abuse long before the footage? What about him claiming that he would support Diddy regardless if they were friends? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
