Kid Cudi broke his foot while performing at the second weekend of Coachella 2024, but his sense of humor is intact, at least.

“Hey, guys, yeah, sh*t got real yesterday,” Cudi said in a video posted to X (formerly Twitter) on Monday morning, April 22. “This is what happens when a 40-year-old man tries to prance around off stage like he’s 26 — like he used to do back in the day. I learned a valuable lesson: No more prancing around, jumping off stages.”

Cudi went on to explain that he’s “hoping” to be “healed up” in time for his Insano World Tour, which is scheduled to begin on June 28.

“I don’t want to let you guys down,” he said. “That’s what we’re aiming for. Not canceling anything just yet. Just gonna wait and see how things go, but I’m OK. A little sore. Yesterday, [I was in] a lot of pain, but I’m doing better now. I have a little temporary cast on now, and I gotta go get a real cast in a little bit. Apparently, I broke something in my heel. This is a major setback, but don’t worry. I’ma bounce back. I love y’all. All day. Engage the rage. But not at 40.”

Hopefully, Cudi wasn’t planning on getting married to Lola Abecassis Sartore — his newly announced fiancée — in the immediate future because a broken heel might complicate walking down the aisle.

Ken Carson Announces Cities And Dates For “Chaos World Tour”

by

Ken Carson had himself a massive release last year with A Great Chaos. Overall, it was one of the best projects released in 2023. It carried forth that Opium sound that is becoming so popular, while also establishing Carson as a leading artist in the new school. Furthermore, his talents were on full display at Coachella this weekend, where he owned the stage. He is also going on tour with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, which is a truly massive look for a young artist such as himself.

Now, however, Ken is about to embark on a solo tour that will definitely get fans excited. As you can see below, the “Charos World Tour” is going to begin on July 8th and the first show will be in Orlando. Throughout July and August, Carson will be going all throughout the United States and even Canada. Eventually, the artist will be headed overseas throughout September and October. Some of the countries he will visit are England, Italy, Germany, and even Belgium, among others. It is a massive look for him, and fans will be excited to see him in a more intimate setting, as compared to a festival.

Kid Cudi Updates Fans After Breaking His Foot At Coachella: Watch

by

Kid Cudi had a great time at Coachella this Sunday (April 21)… for a little bit, at least. Unfortunately, his set was cut short after he fell while performing and broke something in his heel, which a lot of fans were obviously very concerned with. Moreover, some expressed disappointment in the Cleveland creative for not sticking around or for falling in the first place, but the general sentiment is that these things can happen to anyone. Thus, folks sent him their best wishes, and his die-hards waited patiently for an update. The 40-year-old then took to social media with an update for fans with the caption “Hello there.”

“Hey, guys… Yeah, s**t got real yesterday,” Kid Cudi began his message below, indicating that he’s in good spirits and still recovering. “This is what happens when a 40-year-old man tries to prance around off stage like he’s 26. Like he used to do back in the day. I learned a valuable lesson: No more prancing around, jumping off stages.” We’re sure that he will reflect a lot on this time of his life in his upcoming memoir.

Then, Kid Cudi expressed hope that he will fully recover by the time his INSANO tour kicks off in late June of this year. “I don’t want to let you guys down,” he shared “That’s what we’re aiming for. Not canceling anything just yet. Just gonna wait and see how things go, but I’m okay. A little sore. Yesterday, a lot of pain, but I’m doing better now. I have a little temporary cast on now, and I gotta go get a real cast in a little bit. Apparently, I broke something in my heel.

“This is a major setback, but don’t worry. I’ma bounce back,” Mr. Rager continued. “I love y’all. All day. Engage the rage. But not at 40.” At least he has his engagement to look forward to as well! For more news and the latest updates on Kid Cudi, stay posted on HNHH.

Future & Metro Boomin Clowned By Drake Fans Over Tour Sales

by

Drake fans are clowning Future and Metro Boomin on social media for the sales of their upcoming We Don’t Trust You tour. According to Touring Data, the duo has sold 177,318 tickets across North America with 43.13% sold. The tickets for the tour went on sale on Friday.

Drake fans were quick to attack the two in the replies to the post. “Don’t y’all see why streams don’t matter? Touring is where the real money in music is. Your music can be at the top of the music charts but doesn’t mean people actually care about you.” Others came to Metro and Future’s defense, suggesting it’s only been a couple of days since the shows went on sale. “43% in 2 days means everything is almost paid for, it’ll be all profit by May/early June. This is good for a non-pop hiphop tour,” one user wrote.

Drake wrapped up his It’s All a Blur Tour, last month. Months before that, it surpassed Kendrick Lamar’s Big Steppers Tour to become the highest-grossing rap tour ever. It reportedly brought in over $200 million in revenue. He performed a total of 72 shows across the United States and Canada with an attendance of over 830,000. After the initial run, he added J Cole as a co-headliner for a second leg titled It’s All a Blur Tour – Big as the What?

Metro Boomin & Future’s Tour Data Revealed

Metro Boomin and Future have been feuding with Drake since the release of their first collaborative album, We Don’t Trust You, last month. Across their two albums together, they’ve hosted several artists to diss the Toronto rapper. Be on the lookout for further updates on Future and Metro Boomin on HotNewHipHop.

by

Coi Leray already has two commercial projects under her belt. Between them she’s racked up some pretty significant hits like “Players” and made a name for herself in hip-hop. After her album Coi underperformed despite having a smash hit single when it dropped last year, she may be looking for a new direction in her next project. That’s why she recently took to Twitter to talk directly to some of her fans that are obsessed with her current persona and don’t want her to change.

In the post, she asked for room to grow. “I feel like some of my fans in there mind won’t allow me to get older and grow. They are attached to baby Coi with the braids, but it’s okay to grow up. It’s okay to get older,” her tweet reads. She replied to a response from a fan specifically mentioning her braids and that fans of them wouldn’t be completely left out in the cold. “Oh no baby, I’m getting braids this week my hair is finally grown out. But as I GROW into a women, I’m learning and discovering new things about myself. New desires new interest , new icks, new Melodie’s , new flows, new topics ect,” a follow-up tweet reads. Check out the full interaction below.

Coi Leray Wants Space To Grow

Coi Leray has been talking about change a lot recently. Just last week she was again on Twitter teasing fans with what could be next for her artistically. In a different tweet she claimed she wanted to change her artist name to just “Coi.” Plenty of fans in the comments took issue with the change and tried to point out how much that liked her full current name.

Over the past two weekends the “Baby Don’t Hurt Me” rapper made her debut at Coachella. What do you think of Coi Leray claiming that she needs the space to grow up without fans attached to her persona? What new directions do you hope she explores artistically going forward? Let us know in the comment section below.

Sexyy Red Turns Club LIV In Miami All The Way Up With Her Performance

by

Sexyy Red is having a ball right now: recent live performances at events like Dreamville Fest, new material, and a whole lot of fan hype (despite some “beef” with an allegedly fake cousin). While a lot of people are starting to want something more from her, she was still no less electric when she gave folks a show at Club LIV in Miami, presumably over this past weekend. Moreover, the St. Louis MC offered a barefoot rendition of some of her biggest hits in an uncharacteristically blue outfit. From the passionately screamed lyrics coming from attendees’ mouths you can hear in the clip below, you can tell it was a pretty fun time.

Furthermore, Sexyy Red has a lot to promote and celebrate at the moment, including a highly teased remix of Nicki Minaj’s “FTCU” that dropped to fan acclaim. Every fanbase involved in this new version had some great things to say about it, although it wasn’t perfect reception across the board (but then again, what is?). Travis Scott got some props from the Barbz and Chris Brown fans commended his rapping skills. Considering how this career trajectory’s looked like up to this point, we can only expect more big remixes and collabs in the near future.

Sexyy Red’s Miami Performance At Club LIV: Watch Clips

However, the 26-year-old has never forgotten the journey she endured to get here, whether its peaks or its valleys. For example, she recently responded to a fan who shared one of her first-ever music videos: a diss against her cheating boyfriend that’s a flip of Vanessa Carlton’s classic “A Thousand Miles” tilted “Ah Thousand Jugs.” “Neva give up ya time comin,” Sexyy Red responded to her throwback music video. It’s certainly important advice for anyone that’s on a grind with goals in mind, and she’s now an example of how that belief can manifest into something massive.

Meanwhile, the Hood Hottest Princess might not have guaranteed longevity just yet, but she’s certainly on a right path that will be hard to knock off-course. After all, the one and only Drake dubbed her the GOAT on her birthday earlier this month. We’ll see what other big moves, releases, and public appearances keep fueling this fire. For more news and the latest updates on Sexyy Red, keep checking in with HNHH.

Blueface Appears To Cringe During Jaidyn Alexis’ Rough “Bad Vs. Wild” Performance

by

Blueface and Jaidyn Alexis have been in an on-and-off relationship for quite some time now. Overall, this relationship has been interspersed with Blueface’s union with Chrisean Rock. At this point, no one truly knows what is going on. Before going to jail, Blue appeared to be with Alexis. However, now that he is away, it seems like he is back together with Chrisean. This has left a whole lot of people confused, and we probably won’t get very much clarity, anytime soon.

That said, prior to being incarcerated, Blue filmed some content for Bad Vs. Wild. The new Zeus Network show has been taking the world by storm, and there have been numerous performances. In the most recent episode, Jaidyn Alexis performed a couple of songs for the crowd. As you can see below, she definitely needs a bit of work on her stage presence. After all, she has not been doing this for a long time. That said, this lack of experience did not stop the crowd for letting their feelings be known. In fact, Blueface was watching on and he had a pained look on his face.

Blueface In The Crowd

One could say that the rapper was even cringing the whole time. After all, he has been the architect of her songs, and she is a representation of his artist management skills. That said, since his incarceration, she has remained fairly quiet on the music front. Only time will tell whether or not that ends up changing. As for Bad Vs. Wild, the show continues to build upon its viewership, and the controversy surrounding its perception has definitely helped with that.

Let us know what you thought of this performance from Jaidyn Alexis, in the comments section down below. Was it as bad as some people on the internet are saying? Do you think that Blueface will support Alexis’ career when he is released from jail? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

Ja Rule Continues To Reflect On 50 Cent & G-Unit Beef Amid Drake & Kendrick Lamar Feud

by

If you’re a rapper and you haven’t talked about the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef yet, you’re either missing out on some clicks or avoiding feeding into feud narratives that only benefit the powers that be. However, some expert voices feel like they almost have to weigh in, and one veteran in rap spats recently reflected on his biggest battle. Moreover, Ja Rule recently responded to a fan on Twitter who was referencing his rivalry with 50 Cent and the rest of G-Unit. This came up as a result of discussion around K.Dot and The Boy’s current head-to-head, and the Murder Inc. affiliate reminisced on how things were just different back then.

“They said @50cent had ja rule seeing 20,” one fan responded to Ja Rule’s expression that he can relate to Drake being in a “20v1.” “[G-Unit] literally had an ORDER OF PROTECTION against murder Inc… can you imagine if one of the camps in this beef right now put an order of protection on the other… [laughing face emojis].” Still, the New York MC also had some more nuanced and communal perspectives to share on the beef. “Hip hop is a family… and no one wins when the family feuds!!! Don’t let that go over your head… #hiphopvseverybody,” he had ironically tweeted a day before speaking on his nemesis 50 Cent.

Ja Rule Thinks His 50 Cent Feud Looked Way Different From Drake & Kendrick Lamar’s Current Spat

As for that historical spat, here’s how Steve Stoute broke down how the 50 Cent and Ja Rule war began. “I think 50 knew that Ja was not who he was portraying as an image,” he remarked on Club Shay Shay. “Ja [was a] Jehovah’s Witness… I’m not saying they not supposed to rap, but Ja was coming up with this gangster image. It was like, ‘That’s a stretch for you,’ they had some very neighborhood beef. I remember when we signed 50 there was something going on. I think he snatched Ja’s chain, or somebody snatched somebody’s… And then they had a fight in Atlanta… And it was just like, I never understood it.”

Meanwhile, Ja thinks that this is a one-sided feud, and that he actually beat 50 in a fight during all this back-and-forth. How do you think their battle compares to Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s? Whatever the case, let us know what you interpret down in the comments section below. Also, log back into HNHH for the latest updates and more news on Ja Rule and 50 Cent.
