ASAP Rocky’s “Tailor Swif” Had A Surprising Debut On The Global Spotify Chart

by

ASAP Rocky’s newest single, “Tailor Swif,” has landed at No. 105 on the Global Spotify Chart with 1.679 million streams. It marks Rocky’s 45th song to appear on the Global Chart since January 2017. Despite landing on the chart, fans on social media have been having mixed responses to the track.

When OurGenerationMusic shared the news of the single’s success on Instagram, one user wrote: “If you’re a real Rocky fan stop lying to yourself and attempting to say this is good. This and 4/5 of his last singles have been utterly dog sh*t.” Another with a top comment argued he just needs more output: “He has to release more of his sound immediately if he wants to stand a chance. Less visuals, more music.”

The release of “Tailor Swif” comes as Rocky continues to prepare for his highly-anticipated fourth studio album, Don’t Be Dumb. Speaking with Billboard for an interview earlier this month, he revealed that the effort will see him delving into deeper topics than his previous works. He noted that a song called, “Shroom Cloud,” tackles, “current affairs and world wars and, you know, the world dying and whatnot.” He added: “At times like this, only two types of people strive and survive. I’m not trying to sound like I’m glorifying wars, [but] I think artists and druggies, they make it through. I mean, what was the hippies doing? They was getting high at Woodstock and f–king and having a great time and having these hippie babies who subsequently had us.”

“Tailor Swif” is the sixth single Rocky has released ahead of Don’t Be Dumb. It’s preceded by “D.M.B.,” “Shittin’ Me,” “Same Problems?” “Riot (Rowdy Pipe’n),” and “Highjack.” Be on the lookout for further updates on ASAP Rocky on HotNewHipHop.

Nicki Minaj’s Husband Kenneth Petty Gets Dragged For Using Slur During Livestream

by

Nicki Minaj’s marriage to Kenneth Petty continues to be controversial for various reasons. Regardless, the “FTCU” rapper never hesitates to include him in her chats with the Barbz on TikTok live. Yesterday, for example, the pair appeared on the platform to give viewers some tips on dealing with critics.

“Don’t you let anybody or anything steal your motherf*ckin’ joy,” Nicki declared. While that’s solid advice, it’s Petty’s follow-up that has social media users upset. “That’s right, especially little f****** or f*** boys,” he said. Most viewers didn’t appreciate his use of the derogatory term and are slamming him for it. Many are also calling Nicki out for failing to correct him, particularly since she has a large LGBTQ+ fanbase.

Nicki Minaj & Kenneth Petty Receive Backlash For Offensive Livestream Remark

As a result, some are saying that Nicki doesn’t really care about her Barbz at all, though this is unconfirmed. It’s possible that she didn’t hear what he said, or simply didn’t want to draw more attention to the offensive comment. Either way, this isn’t the first time one of her interactions with fans has gone wrong. Earlier this month, a former Barb filed a lawsuit against Nicki, accusing her of slander. He alleges that she embarrassed him on Instagram Live, accused him of being a paid saboteur, called him a stalker, and more. Reportedly, he’s seeking a whopping $5 million in damages for reputational harm, emotional distress, and financial loss.

Her attorney Judd Burstein issued a statement about the lawsuit on Monday, accusing the former fan of “harassing Nicki on social media for years on end to no avail.” Burstein also alleged that he’s trying to “shake her down financially with manifestly false allegations and legally frivolous claims.” What do you think of Nicki Minaj’s husband Kenneth Petty using a gay slur on TikTok live? What about him getting dragged for it online? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Big Sean & Doechii Plant Their Flags On Our New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update

by

August comes to a close, and we have a fresh set of the best of the best hip-hop to drop this week on our new Fire Emoji playlist update. Moreover, leading the way is the highly anticipated album from Big Sean, Better Me Than You. As far as highlights from it, we recommend the wavy “It Is What It Is” with Gunna and the Bryson Tiller and Kodak Black collab “This N That” for you to start with. Elsewhere, Doechii also made a big splash with her excellent new mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal, which contains standout cuts like the bouncy “SLIDE.”

Furthermore, another Fire Emoji standout this week is another long-awaited project: the latest from Destroy Lonely, LOVE LASTS FOREVER. On it, he’s able to show off his dynamic delivery on cuts like “CADILLAC” and develop his collaborative chemistry with artists like Lil Uzi Vert on the slow-burning “LOVE HURTS.” In addition, we also got a new single from A$AP Rocky leading up to his upcoming studio album return, Don’t Be Dumb. “Tailor Swif” is a pretty standard but effective display of new Rocky: minimal melodic elements, crispy and rattling percussion, and some catchy albeit simple flows.

HNHH Fire Emoji Playlist: Stream

Fire Emoji also showcases the new album from Strick, ALL TIME HIGH, and hopefully this sheds more light on this North Carolina artist’s versatility. On “CR@SH” with Travis Scott for example, they complement each other’s styles effortlessly while coming through with earworm vocal riffs and some atmospheric production. On a similarly drenched-out and woozy tip, we have the new single from BNYX and Yeat (plus Superheaven), “GO AGAIN.” They work as well together as they ever have, and some flanged electric guitar riffs add a lot of character and melancholy to this otherwise tough-as-nails and drowsy banger.

We’d be remiss not to mention Chance The Rapper’s latest killer single “3333” and its combination of pianos, trumpets, and subtle drums. Finally, Cordae and Anderson .Paak added to their collection of amazing J. Cole-produced collabs with “Summer Drop.” Let us know what your favorite Fire Emoji release was this week, as well as what else we missed, down in the comments section below. Check the playlist out above and, as always, come back to HNHH for more killer rap drops around the clock.

Cardi B Flaunts Baby Bump In The Studio While Perfecting New Album

by

It’s been a pretty hectic few weeks for Cardi B. Earlier this month, it was revealed that she filed for divorce from her longtime partner Offset after roughly seven years together. While this was already explosive news, the NYC rapper also announced that she’s pregnant with their third child together.

Of course, the circumstances would be stressful for anyone, and her celebrity status only adds more pressure to the situation. Luckily, Cardi appears to be taking it all in stride, and providing fans with fun updates along the way. On top of all these major developments in her personal life, the hitmaker also has her eagerly anticipated sophomore album in the works, and fans have been begging for it for years.

Cardi B’s New Album Is On The Way

Fortunately, Cardi B was recently spotted in the studio, presumably working on it. Evan LaRay shared a clip of the “Bongos” performer looking exhausted but in good spirits. Hopefully, this means that listeners will get to hear the project this year as previously promised, though the release window remains unclear for now. Back in May, Cardi announced that the album would no longer arrive in 2024, but was later corrected by her own record label. “Cardi B’s upcoming album is one of the most anticipated this year. We can’t wait put it out, even if we have to sneak into her studio and take it!” Atlantic Records’ official X account posted.

While the post seemed playful, Cardi did recently compare the studio to a “correctional facility,” which she received ample backlash for. She later addressed it, claiming that it was just an innocent joke. What do you think of Cardi B working on her upcoming album? Are you looking forward to hearing it? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Tokyo Toni Roasts Celina Powell To Her Face On “Aunt-Tea” Podcast

by

The latest episode of the Aunt-Tea Podcast with Tokyo Toni, Tia Kemp, and Karlissa Saffold kept the antics up as fans expected. Moreover, their latest guest was Celina Powell, and at one point during their conversation, she spoke about deleting OnlyFans when she gets pregnant. “You’re not going to get pregnant,” Toni roasted her with. “No. Don’t bring no baby to this world, f***ed up like you are. Get some help! You’re f***ed up. I think you’re trashy, filthy, nasty, and dirty.” However, all the ladies had a good laugh over it, so maybe this didn’t come off to them as combative as it might to some social media users.

However, the reason why Tokyo Toni made these comments about Celina Powell is because of her controversial dating history. The most recent example of this concerns Powell’s alleged current boyfriend Clay Gravesande of Love Is Blind, who claimed that they’re not dating and that she “used” him. “Celina actually is a cool a** person,” he told Rory and Mal. “I went to Belize with another female actually, and then I came back and I was going to actually shoot some content with Celina. It was really kind of innocent, bro. I was being used. She got me, she won.”

Tokyo Toni Thinks Celina Powell Is “Trashy”

“I didn’t know who CP was until everyone started sending me her youtube information [throwing up emoji],” Clay Gravesande’s mother said of Celina Powell. “It’s very interesting that some men will lose everything thinking that the apple is good but its a forbidden choice (do better). The deceiver uses old tricks to attack and destroy. Clayton Alexander, you know that Jesus will allow things to occur. He’s still trying to get your attention…. Please surrender to him.”

Meanwhile, this is far from the only moment that Tokyo Toni had smoke (light or otherwise) for a guest… Or even for her co-host. Regardless, in the former’s case, she left Antonio Brown speechless with a rant on how being bad at dancing suggests that someone is bad at intercourse. As such, we can only wonder what antics and wild statements will emerge on the next Aunt-Tea Podcast episode. If you want to see this one with Celina Powell, it launches on the Zeus Network at 8PM EST this Sunday (September 1).

Gloss Up & Her Boyfriend Bicker Over Her Alleged Hunxho Fling On Instagram Live

by

Gloss Up is still apparently dealing with the fallout of her Hunxho scandal. To sum it up quickly, it’s basically a contentious and complex love triangle between them and Keyshia Cole, who is Hunxho’s current partner. Apparently, Gloss was still in the middle of them at a point, and she even got into a big fight with her boyfriend for him allegedly thinking that the two rappers are still linking up. She took issue with how disrespectfully he treated her and her children, whereas he took issue with how she was airing all of this out on social media. As you can imagine, it’s a pretty wild and unclear situation overall.

Furthermore, when Hunxho and Keyshia Cole first started dating, the big narrative around them was their age gap. Then, when Gloss Up shared some flirty BTS pics with him at a music video shoot, things got way more spicy through some social media shade. Eventually, the North Carolina MC confirmed his relationship with the singer and made it clear that he wasn’t going to take that narrative any longer. Clearly, there’s still some consequences to contend with, but it’s all too vague and speculative to make a judgement call.

Gloss Up Blasts Her Boyfriend Over Hunxho Rumors

Beyond this scandal, though, Gloss Up is just having a normal rap career and making her way into other celebrity relationship drama. For example, last year’s single with Chrisean Rock, “N.A.L.B.,” saw the Baddies star diss her on-and-off-again boo Blueface quite heavily. Of course, that aged in an interesting way since they’re both currently in jail. If nothing else, it’s just a snapshot in a long and complicated photo album that became a jumbled and contradictory rollercoaster to witness.

Gloss’ Man Shares His Side Of The Story

As for Hunxho, he released the Before The Album EP recently, and before you get cheeky, it’s more creative than its title lets on. Nevertheless, he’s also chilling out these days beyond this Gloss Up drama. We’ll see whether there’s another chapter to all this or if it will remain in the rumor mill for the foreseeable future. We wouldn’t put anything past social media antics or Instagram Live rants, so let’s see what happens.

Kid Cudi Announces A Lead Horror Movie Role: “I’ve Been Waiting For This One Moment”

by

Kid Cudi is still dropping music these days, but it seems like he’s focusing more on his multimedia resumé these days. Moreover, he just announced via Twitter that he landed a lead role in an upcoming horror movie releasing in 2025, and while we don’t have a lot of details, it’s exciting and heartening news. “I cant wait to film this new flick im doin next year,” the Cleveland creative wrote. “Its my 3rd horror movie, and im the lead. Its a pretty f***in intense ride, and im ready show yall what im truly capable of. This whole time Ive been studyin as an actor waitin for this one moment. If u love horror movies, u will f***in love this.”

Furthermore, this follows Kid Cudi’s recent role in the M. Night Shyamalan thriller Trap, which saw him reunite with his good friend and actor Josh Hartnett. “TRAP written and directed by my good friend @mnight THE GOD,” the former THE SCOTTS collaborator had shared earlier this year. “Releases AUGUST 9th!!! I was givin the special honor to have a nice lil role in it, and I really think ull love it.

Kid Cudi Is Very Excited About His Next Role

“This was also a huge moment for me, as I was reunited w my old friend Josh Hartnett,” Kid Cudi continued concerning one of his many multi-media projects. “Lil known fact: Josh produced the official Pursuit of Happiness video and hes always been someone I hold very dear to my heart. MAKE SURE YALL LOCK IN AND CHECK THIS S**T OUT ITS CRAZY!! CMON ITS M NIGHT MANE!!! And SALEKA, cant wait for the world to see you shine so bright!! U are a treasure,” he added about M. Night Shyamalan’s daughter, who also starred in the flick.

Meanwhile, Kid Cudi is still recovering from his Coachella accident, but through teasing his next album and all these media developments, he’s making sure that fans are at ease. Hopefully this process continues for him without further hiccups and he can get back on the road to perform with his die-hards. In any case, we’re exciting to see what this next horror acting gig brings next year. This filmography is rapidly growing, and we can only expect things to get better from here.

Lizzo’s Weight Loss Transformation Leads To Ozempic Rumors

by

Earlier this month, Lizzo went viral for showcasing her physical transformation with an inspiring before and after. The hitmaker is someone who’s known for being comfortable in her own skin, but fans were equally proud to see her prioritizing her health. Since then, she went on a trip to Bali with SZA and other close friends. This is where she announced that she’d be taking a year off.

“I’m taking a gap year & protecting my peace [prayer emoji],” she declared, sharing a clip of herself in the rain. Now, she’s shared even more content from her trip, this time posing in a flirty red bikini. “Itsy bitsy teeny weeny red designer string bikini,” she captioned the post.

Lizzo Stuns In Red Swimsuit

While supporters continue to praise Lizzo for her commitment to being her best self, others have started to question whether or not the gym is the only thing helping her on this journey. “Ozempic at work,” one Instagram user writes in the Hollywood Unlocked comments section. “Ozempic doin it’s job,” another says under her bikini clip. While there’s no actual evidence that Lizzo is using Ozempic, the anti-obesity medication has become a go-to explanation for celebrities losing weight. She’s far from the only one to be accused of using it as of late, as Ice Spice has also been making headlines for a similar situation.

The “Deli” rapper denies this and even hopped online yesterday to show off her gym routine in an attempt to prove these theories wrong. “We beatin them allegations bae,” she captioned the workout video, though it did little to stop those who are eager to jump to conclusions. What do you think of Lizzo continuing to show off her fitness transformation? What about social media users accusing her of using Ozempic? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

ScHoolboy Q Gives Doechii Her Flowers For Her New Mixtape

by

Doechii’s new mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal is probably the best project you’ll hear this week, and the Internet is absolutely loving it. Fans new and old are giving this record its due praise, expressing even more excitement for her career and for her next big splash. Moreover, the TDE signee got love from a lot of her hip-hop peers and from her label mates themselves, such as a recent tweet from ScHoolboy Q. “Just Here to say DOEcHii… dats all I care about at da moment,” he expressed. Many listeners certainly share that sentiment, with many remarking that we can expect some amazing things from her next album if this is just the mixtape stuff.

As such, Doechii is one of those rare careers in which the hype cycle around her only continues to grow rather than fall into question with each subsequent release. It’s definitely a lot of pressure, and one that many of her femcee peers are even more subjected to due to how fast their rises to fame are in public perception. But the “BOOM BAP” lyricist is different in that she seems to gain more fans with each move, developing her artistry and showing off her versatility with ease. These are even clear lyrical themes on Alligator Bites Never Heal, so we know that she is just as cognizant of this expectation.

ScHoolboy Q Praises Doechii’s Alligator Bites Never Heal

But where other artists would rather replicate and retread, Doechii occupies multiple lanes and can make a hit out of a wealth of skills and talents. This is especially the case for her Swamp Sessions series, in which various songs display the sheer hunger and creativity beneath. “NISSAN ALTIMA” and “FLORIDA WATA” are easy standouts, and should be a part of any deep dive into this catalog.

Meanwhile, Doechii may have gotten ScHoolboy Q’s love this time around, but he doesn’t always take to social media to praise another celebrity (although that will probably always be the case for his label mate). Most recently, he took issue with Michael Rubin’s comments about Black culture on The Breakfast Club. It was a pretty controversial albeit well-meaning moment, so it’s no surprise that Q wanted to chime in. Hopefully, he finds more reasons to be happy and supportive on social media, because that’s what we all should do when antics and controversies don’t get in the way. In any case, stream Alligator Bites Never Heal, and you won’t want to fight online anymore.
