Sexyy Red Honors Rich Homie Quan During Her Show

September 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Sexyy Red was one of many artists shocked by the sudden death of Rich Homie Quan. News of this broke on Thursday (September 5), the same day she had a “Sexyy Red 4 President” tour stop in Lincoln, Nebraska alongside her tour mate Kodak Black. The St. Louis femcee paid tribute to the late Atlanta icon’s memory by briefly playing his classic 2013 cut “Type Of Way.” While these two rappers never collaborated, interacted much if at all, and probably might’ve never met each other, it’s still heartening albeit tragic to see that the younger generation of hip-hop artists knows how special RHQ is and how saddening this loss is.

One small reason as to why this tragedy struck so many folks so deeply is that we will never get to see the reconciliation between Rich Homie Quan and Young Thug that they had spoken about and that fans dreamed of. “We do have a lot of music that hasn’t been released,” Quan had said in an interview before passing away later down the line. “But who knows what the future holds? First and foremost, it’s free Thugger. It’s free anybody that’s locked up, it’s free Lucci. It’s a touchy situation, so I try not to talk about it a lot. But I don’t know what the future holds, man, you know what I’m saying? I’m willing to have a conversation, and it’ll start from there.”

Another recent and perhaps unexpected tribute to Rich Homie Quan came from Big Sean. “We got a lot of good memories together, you know what I’m saying?” he told TMZ on Thursday. “We’ve been in the studio, Treehouse Studios, you know, ATL. We had some great sessions, me and Rich Homie. He was one of one. He was one of one, for sure. His style… He was just very special, a very good heart. It’s such a tragedy hearing about his loss today.”

Meanwhile, Rich Homie Quan’s music is unsurprisingly experiencing a big boost these days. There are a lot of debates on whether or not these reflections and tributes are legitimate. Some rappers and other colleagues out there think that some folks are spreading fake love. But regardless of where it comes from, there’s a well-deserved grieving process right now through which fans and loved ones are personally honoring his legacy, impact, and memory.
RIP Rich Homie Quan.

Cardi B Teases New Album With Cryptic Hint

September 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cardi B has had a hectic past few months, but fortunately for her fans, there’s only more to come. Last month, it was revealed that she filed for divorce from her husband Offset after several years. Shortly after, she announced that she was pregnant with their third child. Nowadays, she’s also continuing to work on her highly anticipated sophomore album. For now, it doesn’t have an official release date, though Cardi does appear to be dropping hints.

Yesterday, the “Enough” rapper took to her Instagram broadcast channel with a cryptic message featuring the number 11. KenBarbie shared the news on Twitter/X, and Cardi retweeted the post, seemingly suggesting that the blogger could be onto something. It’s unconfirmed exactly what the number 11 means in this case, but it’s not the first time fans have seen it pop up.

Cardi B Drops Another Mysterious 11

For her BET Experience concert in June, Cardi also rocked a bedazzled jersey featuring the number 11. At the time, it prompted fans to speculate that this meant the album would be dropping in November, on the 11th day of a month, or even that the number could be related to the title somehow. It looks like fans will just have to wait and see what all of this means, and whether or not the project arrives this year as promised.

Luckily, she told her supporters earlier this month that she was ready to get down to business as she celebrated the success of her debut, Invasion of Privacy. “Album still sellin like good quality p*ssy,” she said at the time. “OKAY OKAY let me stop playing and drop this second album.” What do you think about Cardi B seemingly dropping hints related to her upcoming album? Are you looking forward to hearing it when it finally comes out? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Rihanna Catches Heat For Allegedly Ignoring Naomi Campbell At New York Fashion Week

September 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rihanna and Naomi Campbell have had beef rumors swirling around them for years now, none of which have really manifested into anything concrete. That being said, we don’t really blame folks for assuming that they don’t like each other given what little we have seen. For example, both superstars attended a New York Fashion Week event on Friday (September 6). The Dior partner went up to greet a man who was sitting right next to Campbell, and RiRi didn’t seem to acknowledge her at all. You can see this for yourself in the video down below, which many fans are treating as gospel.

Furthermore, for those unaware, Naomi Campbell denied that she and Rihanna had any sort of issues back in 2021. As for what the origin of this whole thing is, we’re not sure, although many assume that it’s just a competitive relationship in the worlds of media, fashion, and more. It’s far from Campbell’s only big-name celebrity interaction this year, though, which shouldn’t really be surprising considering her overwhelming fame. She sat front row with Kendrick Lamar (or rather, the other way around, since she’s the fashion icon here) for Chanel’s runaway earlier this year.

Rihanna & Naomi Campbell’s NYFW Interaction… Or Lack Thereof

Elsewhere, Rihanna doesn’t have to worry about people like Naomi Campbell when her husband A$AP Rocky is right there to sing her praises. “It’s crazy how we find balance with our chaotic schedules,” he told Billboard of their bond. “[The relationship] is going great. I don’t think there’s a more perfect person because when the schedules are hectic, she’s very understanding of that. And when the schedule’s freed up, that’s when you get to spend [the] most time together. It’s all understanding and compatibility.”

However, RiRi might have to make some major moves in her fashion-related businesses soon. Her CEO for Savage X Fenty quit after a year, instead taking a position at Victoria’s Secret. It’s unclear how this will impact Rihanna’s endeavors, and we still don’t have much news as to what the next steps are. If only there was a supermodel with decades of experience and plenty of style and business acumen to ask advice from…

50 Cent Explains How His Photo Shoot With $3.5 Million In Cash Is A Muhammad Ali Tribute

September 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent has never shied away from flaunting and celebrating his wealth. After all, how could he have a “CEO war” with Dame Dash if they weren’t both so obsessed with their cash? Moreover, the G-Unit mogul raised some eyebrows and impressed more than a few business goons with his latest cover story for The Hollywood Reporter, for which he took $3.5 million in cash and sat on these stacks in the photoshoot. Stephen Colbert asked him about this on The Late Show this week, jokingly wondering why he didn’t use Photoshop to achieve the same effect and inquiring as to his inspirations.

“Stephen, I was trying to mirror a photo that I had seen that Muhammad Ali took,” 50 Cent revealed. Then, Colbert took out the image of the legendary boxer in question, which is a 1964 Sports Illustrated cover in which he sits on a million dollars. Fif used $3.5 million instead either to make a cheeky reference to inflation or to just flex that much harder. “I like how you act like you don’t have a lot of money, Stephen,” he comically responded when the host proposed just using Photoshop. “You’re on Season 10, bro! He’s posturing himself in this way so he doesn’t have to give his relatives money.”

50 Cent On The Late Show With Stephen Colbert

The photoshoot conversation begins at around the 1:17-minute mark.

“When you watch a movie and it’s, like, a bank robbery, that’s not real,” 50 Cent answered when asked about the literal weight of the $3.5 million dollars. “When they put the money in the bag and then you see them run out? They’re not running. It’s about 77 pounds. So you walk it out. No machine gun, none of that. You just go walk out and if they didn’t get me, I made it. I just wanted to make the picture good.” It’s not as big of a payout as, say, a potential Vegas residency, but it’s still a lot.

Jokes aside, this Late Show interview holds some other gems. There are conversations around 50 Cent’s celibacy, his celebrity status, his commitment to his endeavors, and a whole lot more. We can only wonder as to what his next magazine cover story will look like. Is $7 million the next move or is Photoshop one of Colbert’s better ideas?

GloRilla Reveals How She Used A Mean Tweet As Motivation

September 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It goes without saying that being a celebrity comes with its fair share of downsides. For every supportive fan there is, there are likely more critics waiting for an opportunity to tear you down. Luckily, criticism isn’t always a negative thing, as some artists use it as motivation. This includes GloRilla, who recently took to Twitter/X to explain how a shady Tweet fueled her amazing past few months.

“Glorilla fell off so fast and bad,” the critical Tweet reads alongside a series of crying emojis. It was originally written in October of last year but received a response from Glo earlier this week. “I remember bookmarking dis & telling myself ‘Dey gotchu f*cked up so bad,’” she wrote. “Dis post ain’t do sh*t but put a battery in my back i needed data don’t let dese people write yo story for you , Keep going !!!”

GloRilla Says Hater “Put A Battery In [Her] Back”

Obviously, GloRilla’s hard work has paid off, and she managed to prove this critic wrong. Nowadays, she’s enjoying the success of singles like “TGIF” and her debut mixtape, Ehhthang Ehhthang. She also joined fellow Southern femcee Megan Thee Stallion on her “Hot Girl Summer” tour this year, which was a major hit with fans. The two of them might even be teaming up for yet another project in the near future, as Meg hinted at a potential joint album during her recent interview with Billboard. “I think that would be very fire. I ain’t gon’ say too much, but it feels like it’s going to get done,” she explained.

“Megan is a real rapper, and I’m also a real rapper,” GloRilla added. “We actually be talking and coming with bars on some down South gangsta sh*t. [It would be] some down South, real turnt, real rap [sh*t].” What do you think of GloRilla crediting a critic’s old mean Tweet for her impressive 2024 run? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Usher Turns His Stage Into A Strip Club For Brooklyn Tour Stop

September 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Usher is stunning every crowd he greets on his “Past Present Future” tour, and is even inspiring the crowd to take over the show and sing for him. But it’s not just a concert: it’s a 4AM party in the waviest strip club in the city… Or at least, that’s the vibe he wants to create with each tour stop. Moreover, for the singer’s first Brooklyn show at the Barclays Center on Friday (September 6), he turned part of the stage into a strip club, complete with a pole for a dancer to use. Taraji P. Henson, Victoria Monét, and Yung Miami were right there to throw some cash and have fun with the performers.

Of course, this is nothing new for Usher, who did this exact sort of homage during his Vegas residency, his Super Bowl halftime show, and more. Also, it’s exactly the kind of extravagance and fun-loving raunch that we expect from him, so this isn’t all too surprising. While it doesn’t make it any less entertaining, we can’t help but wonder what the Dallas native will do next during this trek. We know that he’s taken his time to greet familiar faces and old friends in the crowds, so we hope that there’s more wholesome stuff on the way.

Speaking of wholesome tour content, Usher also took some time during this Brooklyn show to shout out his “SOS (Sex On Sight)” collaborator, Victoria Monét. “Victoria, we love you, baby girl!” he told her in the stands before playing her hit song “On My Mama.” We can’t think of many other careers who have had a better past 48 months than the Atlanta native. So not only was this well-deserved, but we hope there’s more stuff like this to come.

Victoria Monét Gets Her Flowers

All this being said, it’s not like every single part of this tour has been perfect. For example, after a particularly bizarre clip of Usher’s “Yeah!” performance went viral, people accused him of sending a clone onstage. It seems like the fanbase crossover between him and MF DOOM isn’t as small as you might think. Rest In Peace to The Villain.

Doja Cat Shows Off Her Pole Dancing Skills After Social Media Break

September 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Considering all the wild IG Live antics and fan backlash that Doja Cat faced over the past few years, the fact that she’s a bit of an on-and-off-again social media user should come as no surprise. After all, no one wants to deal with that level of scrutiny, hacks, and engagement all the time. But one thing we can count on is that whenever she comes back to the online space, she does so in a pretty eye-catching and notable way. This time around, the Los Angeles artist posted a video of herself on Friday (September 6) twirling around on a pole while listening to classical music and reading a book.

It’s a pretty funny clip out of context, and Doja Cat’s form is downright impressive. It’s probably not what people expect to see when they first hear the words “pole dancing,” but she’s always been one to surprise and joke around. But fans are a bit more curious about this particular social media return thanks to some dating rumors around the Scarlet creative. Fans spotted her and Joseph Quinn out on a London date, which caused a lot of conversation due to their complicated history together.

Nevertheless, not all of Doja Cat’s social media breaks have to do with just being tired of all the engagement and drama. Sometimes, it’s a legitimate security concern. For example, someone or a group of people recently hacked her Twitter account and began to diss Iggy Azalea. This was pretty ironic because Doja had been critical of Iggy’s music in the past (via since-deleted tweets, to be fair), but Iggy said that they had no issues whatsoever in real life. So this hack didn’t fool her as those responsible might’ve hoped for.

Meanwhile, another recent Doja Cat debate revolved around whether or not Latto is a better rapper than her, a discussion topic that Joe Budden virally sparked on his podcast. “Latto is ill,” he posited. “I might have to have her [at] number two. Nicki is number one for me. I think Latto would give Doja a long night. She can’t rap like that. If I’m just talking about rapping, Doja can pack it up if Latto walk in the studio with her notebook.”
