Latto Introduces Fan Hotline To Promote Her Upcoming Album

by

Latto is getting ready to release her third album, Sugar Honey Iced Tea, on August 9. To help promote the album, she started a hotline for her fans to call. When fans call the number, they are greeted by three voices, all of whom are presumed to be features on the album, though fans are not entirely sure of who’s who yet. They all say the album’s title. After, Latto gives a message herself, thanking her fans for their continued support of her music.

This is not the first time a rapper has done something like this to help promote their music. In 2005, Mike Jones mentioned his real phone number on the hit song “Back Then,” which reportedly received 40,000 calls per day at its peak. In 2008, Soulja Boy’s track “Kiss Me Thru The Phone” directed fans to 678-999-8212, which was a fan hotline that Soulja has since claimed netted him over $100k per month for a period. Fans are praising Latto for setting up a hotline of her own, with some pointing to the move feeling like something from a previous era.

Latto Sets Up Hotline To Promote Her Latest Album

“The marketing rollout for this is so good, so damn good,” said one Instagram user in response to the hotline. “Cute marketing! At least she doing her own thing and not copying a virtual city. That would’ve had yall real upset lol,” said another user, referencing the rollout for Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2. “Soulja boy about to comment and say he was the first to do this lol,” said a third, referencing the phone number from “Kiss Me Thru The Phone.”

Latto’s been having a successful run as of late. She collaborated with K-pop star Jungkook on “Seven,” which earned her the first #1 song of her career. She’s been in a minor feud with Ice Spice, which inspired the track “Sunday Service,” a fan favorite. Megan Thee Stallion and Flo Milli appeared on a remix of the track in June. On Tuesday evening, Drake released 100 gigabytes of previously unseen content. This included three new songs, one of which featured a verse from her. Sugar Honey Iced Tea should hopefully add to her success, and the marketing strategies seem to be helping.

Cardi B’s Next Album Receives Multiple Updates Including A Handful Of Possible Titles

by

Cardi B has endured a lot of misfortunes and obstacles throughout 2024. Currently, she is dealing with the messy divorce from on-again, off-again partner Offset. Additionally, on a more positive note, she announced her third pregnancy just a few days ago in emotional fashion on social media. “You’ve reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion! I love you so much and can not wait for you to witness what you helped me accomplish, what you pushed me to do!”. Thankfully, the small wins keep coming for Cardi B as there are several updates for her sophomore album.

According to some legal documents acquired by TMZ Hip Hop, the “Bartier Cardi” rapper is wrestling between a couple of titles. Defamation of Character and Intrusive Thoughts are the two options at the moment and in that same paperwork she’s looking to trademark both phrases. Additionally, “she wants the phrases for music videos and downloadable music files, plus potential other uses”. Furthermore, Cardi B is apparently three quarters of the way done and she’s really hoping to have it out before the end of the year.

With the album names we have at our disposal, this potentially foreshadows a very personal tape. We got some hints of learning more about who Cardi is on Invasion of Privacy. However, it mostly gunned for big hits which it wound up succeeding in doing. The New York native has an incredible opportunity on her hands as she has so much topical potential based on everything she has been going through. Cardi has us on the edge of seats and we cannot wait for what’s next.

What are your thoughts on Cardi B’s album title options? With this new update in mind, how soon do you think she will drop the project now? Is this LP going to top her 2018 debut? Could this be the most important body of work she releases ever, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Cardi B. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Kanye West Is Allegedly Addicted To Nitrous Gas

by

Kanye West has a “dependence” on nitrous gas, according to the rapper’s former chief of staff, Milo Yiannopoulos, who made the claims in an affidavit for a complaint against dentist Thomas P. Connelly. Citing concerns about West’s “health and safety,” Yiannopoulos complained about “the unlawful supply of enormous quantities of nitrous gas to a wealthy, famous patient for explicitly recreational use.” Connelly installed West’s permanent titanium grill.

As noted by AllHipHop, Yiannopoulos further claims West’s staff “were worrying about” his “dependence on the gas and speaking openly about it.” He describes employees witnessing “four large surgical tanks of nitrous oxide” at Bianca Censori’s apartment. Apparently by one point, West was talking “about it non-stop in meetings” and “seemed to be in an out of the inhaler mask on a near-constant basis,” and “communications ‘were becoming incomprehensible and contradictory.” Additionally, Yiannopoulos says Connelly “supplied West with advisors … who demanded gigantic sums for their services” and suggested “widespread and disruptive changes,” to his business. Altogether, Yiannopoulos claims Connelly “sought to exploit” Kanye West’s “psychological vulnerabilities.”

Kanye West Attends Berlin Fashion Week

It’s not the first time Yiannopoulos has linked West to the use of nitrous gas. Back in July, while calling out YesJulz on X (formerly Twitter), he described the rapper as a person with mental illness who is “hooked on nitrous thanks to the Doctor Death of Dentistry.” “I did everything I could to get Thomas Connelly, the Doctor Death of Dentistry, away from Ye,” he wrote in another post. “@YesJulz and others sat back and watched the greatest living artist permanently destroy his brain with a neurotoxin. As long as the checks kept clearing, they all stayed quiet. Foul.”

Yiannopoulos ended up resigning from his position in West’s staff in May of this year. After spending two years with the controversial rapper, he complained about the company getting into sex work. Be on the lookout for further updates on Kanye West and Milo Yiannopoulos on HotNewHipHop.

For instance, he recently caught some heat thanks to a prank that was pulled on him.

Below, you can see a clip in which two men get out of a vehicle and start pelting Pumper with eggs, in broad daylight. It was a bizarre seen and as you can imagine, the adult film star was not impressed. The street they were on appeared to be busy too, although no one else seemed to be collateral damage in all of this. If one thing is for certain, the days of clout chasing are not long behind us. They are still very much here.

Kai Cenat Delivers Definitive Stance On Doing A Stream With Kamala Harris

by

Kai Cenat is easily one of the biggest streamers in the entire world. Overall, he is someone who has been able to bridge the gap between generations. Moreover, he has done some huge collaborations that are always going viral on social media. Having said that, it should come as no surprise that Cenat would be approached by a political campaign. After all, we did just see Donald Trump do a stream with the likes of Adin Ross.

There have been numerous memes and jokes online about how Kai should stream with Kamala Harris. Well, as it turns out, the Vice President’s team has, in fact, reached out to Kai. However, Cenat is not interested, in the slightest. During his stream last night, Cenat noted that politics are not something he wants to get involved in. Unlike Adin Ross, Cenat is much more conscientious of his image and what he might portray to his fans. Given this polarizing political climate, this is probably a good idea.

Kai Cenat Speaks Out

The Kamala Harris campaign seems to be doing just fine right now. Yesterday, Harris announced Tim Walz as her running mate, and voters are loving the choice. During a rally in Philadelphia on Tuesday, Walz brought the energy, and it is clear that he is resonating with the average Joe. Only time will tell whether or not this translates into a bump in the polls. The election is just three months away, and the Democrats still have ground to make up.

Let us know what you think about these comments from Kai Cenat, in the comments section down below. Do you agree with his decision to stay out of politics and decline the invite? What did you think of the Donald Trump and Adin Ross stream? 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.

Drake’s NSFW “Certified Lover Boy” Cover Has Fans Invoking The Lyrics Of Kendrick Lamar

by

By now, everyone should know that Drake was a busy man on Tuesday. Overall, this is because he came through with some new music for his fans. He dropped off three tracks and loads of unreleased behind-the-scenes footage. There was about 100 GB of footage, and as you can imagine, fans were excited. However, there have been some clips and pieces of media that have made some hip-hop observers less than enthused.

Case in point, we have the image below. It is an illustrated album cover for Certified Lover Boy. This is one of the options Drake had in mind, however, he ultimately went with the pregnant emoji cover instead. In the alternate cover, Drake can be seen operating a studio that is filled with naked women. It is a bit of a crudely drawn illustration, and as it turns out, fans are not feeling any of this, one bit. In fact, most fans are bringing up some of Kendrick Lamar’s lyrics from “Meet The Grahams.”
