Macklemore Fan Arrested Onstage After Duet

by

Macklemore isn’t one to engage in onstage antics, but a twist of fate lent some very odd context to a recent performance of his. Moreover, he (along with many other artists) took the stage at the Lovestream Festival in Slovakia, and at one point, he invited a Slovenian fan onstage to perform a duet with him. After the woman boasted about it on social media, someone recognized her from an open police report (as a wanted woman) and informed authorities at the “Hind’s Hall” MC’s performance. Cops let her wrap her performance up and then arrested her for avoiding a fine from an alleged streaking incident.

Elsewhere, Macklemore instead usually draws up controversy for his music, whether for the right and wrong reasons. Most recently, his release of a pro-Palestine track stirred up a storm on social media, including a response diss from Wu-Tang Clan affiliate Remedy. Overall, this is a very complex situation and one that political and social polarization can obfuscate when it comes to the actual humanitarian issues at hand. Nevertheless, the “Thrift Shop” rapper’s powerful single speaks volumes to the need to engage in these difficult conversations and definitely achieved at least part of its intended effect.

“I didn’t expect to be on a microphone,” Macklemore expressed during a pro-Palestine rally in Washington, DC. “There are thousands of people here more qualified to speak on the issue of a free Palestine than myself. But I will say this: They told me to be quiet. They told me to do my research, to go back, that it’s too complex to say something, right? To be silent in this moment. In the last three weeks, I’ve gone back and I’ve done some research … I’m teachable. I don’t know enough. But I know enough that this is a genocide.”

“I have so many close lifelong Jewish and Muslim friends and I don’t want to cause any additional harm to any of them,” Macklemore shared on Instagram. “But I trust in our friendships that even if we disagree we can be rooted in love and acceptance in whatever dialogue transpires. I trust that these potential challenging and emotional conversations will not divide us in the end but lead to more compassion. Killing the innocent is never the answer. Revenge only breeds more hatred. Thinking of ourselves as separate from one another is a lie.”

Melyssa Ford & Lucky Daye Share A Steamy Onstage Moment, Fans Wonder About Joe Budden’s Reaction

by

Lucky Daye is quite the impressive live performer, and the singer drove fans wild at a recent show with not just his buttery tone but with his special guest, the legendary video vixen (now best known as a co-host on The Joe Budden Podcast), Melyssa Ford. Moreover, she sat on a stool onstage while Daye serenaded her and put her hand on his stomach, with some more touchy-feely interactions leading to quite the steamy display. “This was not on my bingo card but HOOTIE F***ING HOOOOOO!!!” she captioned her Instagram video of the flirty moment. “@iamluckydaye at #radiocitymusichall. Me & the boys had a slice tonite! @joebudden @emannymusic.”

Actually, it’s pretty funny that she tagged Joe Budden, since a lot of fans started to joke and theorize as to how he and the rest of thee podcast’s cohort would respond to this Melyssa Ford and Lucky Daye moment. Maybe they will give Daye his props, tease Ford for appearing, or comment more about fans’ reactions to the whole thing. Either way, it should make for a pretty entertaining and interesting moment on the pod, at the very least. Who knows, maybe the Algorithm artist even pulls up to talk about the concert.

Of course, we know that these jest-heavy and more cheeky moments on The Joe Budden Podcast can result in some controversy from time to time. In fact, he and his male co-hosts faced recent backlash for their relentless teasing of Melyssa Ford during a recent podcast episode. Even though some folks made excuses about her being “one of the guys,” others suggested that these are indicative of more potentially harmful attitudes. Still, it’s a small moment to use as a generalizing tool, so it’s a futile effort either way.

In other Melyssa Ford news, Toccara Jones recently recalled when she and Melyssa Ford found out that they were dating Drake at the same time. “She was just telling me about her situation with the guy that she was dating and she went on to tell me it was Drake,” Jones recounted. “Instead of me telling her right then and there, I wanted to go talk to him first. This wasn’t the first time that me and Melyssa was seeing or talking to the same guy.”

Rick Ross Gets Ruthlessly Clowned For Dance Moves At Recent Show

by

Ever since his quick exit amid the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef, Rick Ross has been in the news for some interesting things. From munching on vegan burgers to applying for a zoo license, the cooky hip-hop character has put himself in some odd spots. In addition to his antics, Rozay has been getting clowned by his hip-hop contemporaries as well. The Game and 50 Cent are spearheading that trolling campaign, with the former unleashing a diss track called “Freeway’s Revenge”. It was a pretty ruthless attack on the Mississippi rapper and entrepreneur and all he could muster were some trolling videos. Now, Rick Ross is getting roasted and toasted for some questionable dance moves at a recent show.

The clip from DJ Akademiks’ Instagram, shows him shuffling his feet side to side to one of Biggie’s biggest songs. Ross was all smiles while dancing his way to center stage, but fans were not letting it slide one bit. “Bro on my life I thought that was Saucy Santana”, one IG user said. “Dancing like an auntie,” another adds.

Of course, the fat and Ozempic jokes were thrown around as well. “Premium Ozempic Legs 😂”. “Unctie got them TigOBitties😂”, were just a few of the ruthless weight jabs. If The Game or 50 Cent comes across this video, just be ready for more roast sessions.

What are your thoughts on Rick Ross’ dance moves onstage? Do you think some of the roasts went too far, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your thoughts in the comments section below.

Travis Scott Sings To Gorilla Mascot Onstage At Phoenix Concert: Watch

by

Travis Scott is currently bringing UTOPIA to life on his CIRCUS MAXIMUS tour, which has been a wildly successful affair so far. While it hasn’t removed all the conversation around his live performances and the context of past tragedies, it’s at least given hungry fans a spectacle to enjoy in this new album phase. Moreover, the Houston MC is also bringing out a couple of special guests during this trek, including one Rob49, who was an unexpected but welcome feature on the album. They recently debuted their collab “TOPIA TWINS” in a concert setting, with both performing through it with a lot of energy. However, La Flame is also prone to bring out some even more unconventional guests.

Furthermore, he brought out a gorilla during his recent show in Phoenix- no, not the Memphis MC who made “F.N.F.”: a gorilla. Well, it was someone dressed in a full gorilla suit, who just stood in the center of the stage as Travis Scott performed his Swae Lee and The Weeknd-assisted song “CIRCUS MAXIMUS.” It’s quite the comical clip; not only is it so bizarrely out of context and random, but it looks like he’s almost trying to serenade the mascot. Maybe the 32-year-old just needed someone close to him to sing to, or perhaps he spotted them in the crowd and couldn’t resist the chance to bring them up.

Regardless, it’s also quite probable for Travis Scott to chastise people at his concerts just as much as he shows fans love. That’s under the assumption that this gorilla is a crowd member, because if it’s a planned part of the show… again, it’s a bit odd to explain. Despite that, at least the gorilla had more luck than a security guard did at a recent incident. The “MODERN JAM” rapper called them out mid-show and told the guard they “got to go” after they scuffled with a fan.

Meanwhile, do you think this was an integral part of the CIRCUS MAXIMUS tour? On the other hand, was it just a lucky fan who got the chance to be onstage? However you may feel, let us know in the comments down below. In addition, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Travis Scott.

50 Cent’s Security Stops Fan From Rushing Him Onstage

by

50 Cent’s been having a ball during The Final Lap tour celebrating his career, hip-hop’s 50th, and much more. However, that’s not to say that the trek hasn’t progressed without its speed bumps, albeit for varying reasons and circumstances. For example, the G-Unit mogul caught a lot of flack for throwing a microphone at a radio host at a recent show, although it stands to reason that he probably didn’t mean to hit her in the face. Regardless, there’s been a few hiccups throughout this series, but all (except that mic one) seemed to go over smoothly. In fact, it’s wild to see just how fast Fif’s crew reacted to this most recent mishap.

During his Chicago show on Saturday (September 16), 50 Cent decided to tribute one of the city’s most important contemporary figures: Chief Keef. As his banger “Love Sosa” played in the background, one fan dodged security and made his way up to the stage. Uncle Murda and the concert’s security team quickly reacted to the individual trying to rush the Queens legend. They escorted him off the stage, and 50 let the song play out as normal, seemingly unfazed by the attempt.

50 Cent Fan Stopped Dead In His Onstage Tracks

Of course, these kinds of fan interactions must be relatively common for someone as famous and well-known in pop culture as 50 Cent. However, many of these instances during The Final Lap tour proved to be much more wholesome and down-to-earth. Through meet and greets, the 48-year-old’s been able to connect with admirers of all ages, eras, and levels of fandom. One particularly huge fan broke down in tears as he approached him, and wore a durag and bulletproof vest reminiscent of the rapper’s 2000s days.

The “Office Hours” MC was very touched by this, especially coming from a fan likely born after he exploded onto the scene. Still, they posed for some pics and overall shared a heart-warming moment together. Hopefully those memories become more common as The Final Lap goes on, and we see less fans try to distract him during his performance. On that note, stick around on HNHH for more updates and the latest news on 50 Cent.

Ne-Yo Kicks A Fan Off Stage After Signature Hat Removal

by

Ne-Yo instantly regretted offering one fan the chance to come up on stage to dance with him. As soon as she was up there, the fan grabbed Ne-Yo’s hat off of his head, at which point he promptly booted her off the stage. The singer has been a notorious wearer of hats ever since middle school when his hairline began to recede at a rapid pace, according to the Meredith Vieira Show. So when this fan thought it was funny to grab his headpiece and begin acting like the R&B legend, he did not find it all that amusing.

“She knows good g*dd*mn well [that] she wasn’t supposed to grab my hat,” Ne-Yo said to the crowd after getting his hat back. “Get your ass back over there.” He then gave her a solid nudge toward the back of the stage before calling for contestant number two. The clip has gone viral because of his mixture of humor and frustration. You can tell that he isn’t a big fan of this fan’s actions, but he gets his hat back quickly and turns it into something funny. He even mocked a kick of her backside as she was headed off stage.

Ne-Yo’s Past, Present, & Future

Ne-Yo fans should definitely know not to snatch the man’s iconic hats. He’s been wearing them throughout his R&B music career. From “Miss Independent” to “So Sick” to “She Knows,” the artist has worn hats in all of his music videos and on stage for all his performances. As for if he wears the hat at home 24/7, we aren’t entirely sure. What is certain is Ne-Yo has been a busy man as of late.

The singer is dealing with a custody battle with his ex-girlfriend, Sade Bagnerise. (She will allow joint custody in exchange for child support.) And he is not back with his ex-wife, Crystal Renay, despite recent photos showing the couple together. In positive news, he just received a White House invite, according to AllHipHop.com. He will perform for the Bidens during their Fourth of July celebrations today.

Big Sean Shows Love To Jhené Aiko Onstage At Lovers & Friends Festival

by

Jhené Aiko was one of many performers who graced Usher’s Lovers & Friends Festival in Las Vegas on Saturday (May 6). Moreover, she even brought out a special guest for the occasion who showered her with love while onstage, and it was none other than her boyfriend Big Sean. Furthermore, the Detroit rap star had some beautiful words for his boo, who formed part of a stellar lineup of R&B and hip-hop legends. During his remarks, he also shouted out all the mothers in the crowd for their love, dedication, and perseverance. In addition, the rapper detailed just how caring Aiko is and how hard she works to nurture their child.

“It took her so much to get up on this stage,” Big Sean said of his love, Jhené Aiko. “Because she’s so hands-on with him. She’s so nurturing, breastfeeding every, you know… Titties breastfeeding, not just pumping, aight? She really nurtures and takes care of this baby and it took a lot for her to get up on stage so I appreciate all the love you guys are showing her. And shoutout to all the mommas out there really doing their thing too, ’cause I don’t know how y’all do it, man. Jhené, I love you, great show. Good job, keep going,” he concluded with a playful butt pat.

Big Sean Praises Jhené Aiko’s Loving Nature

Of course, the “Lucky Me” artist is referring to their son Noah, who they spend a lot of time showing off and loving online. Most recently, the family went on a zoo trip and shared some wholesome pictures from the outing, and they were particularly a fan of the lions. It seems like no matter what they’re up to, they are always putting smiles on and sharing their everyday matters with the same casual attitude of a couple you know on social media. Given Big Sean and Jhené Aiko’s beloved careers, it must be a hard life to balance.

Meanwhile, the Los Angeles native recently dropped her first single of the year, rebuilding hype for her next full-length release. The track “calm & patient” is an ethereal cut that is yet another display of her vocal and songwriting talents. We’ll have to see what Sean has in store for us as well, and hopefully that arrives soon. Regardless, return to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Big Sean and Jhené Aiko.

NLE Choppa Fan Passes Out While Being Serenaded Onstage

by

NLE Choppa’s somewhat of a certified lover boy these days, even if some people called this antic out as fake. Regardless, the Memphis MC brought a fan onstage during a concert to dedicate his Cottonwood 2 track “PRETTY BROWN” to her. As he sang the song, holding her hand and spinning her around, the fan appeared to faint on the spot. “I performed ‘Pretty Brown’ For Her And She Fainted, thought she was joking,” he wrote on Twitter. Even though a lot of people thought she was just (poorly) acting, is the crowd all the way in the back really going to know the difference in that moment?

Whether it was genuine or not, it does continue a streak of the 20-year-old tapping more into his romantic side these days. For example, he recently made a bold claim on Twitter by saying that he wants to pay every girl in the world’s rent. Never mind the logistical nightmare that would bring about; does NLE Choppa really want that burden? Alas, people have their own ways of sweet-talking partners, so he’ll probably keep doing his thing on Twitter.

Did NLE Choppa Make This Fan Pass Out- Or Was She Playing?

What’s more is that his loving nature isn’t just limited to his music or social media, but transcends into on-camera interactions. Recently, during a conversation with Jason Lee, he gushed over actress Meagan Good. Then, in a move that surprised and excited him, Lee pulled out his phone and called Good on the spot. They had a nice conversation, with NLE Choppa respectfully remarking the extent of his crush on her. Even though the call cut out at a point, the actress was sweet and kind to him back, yet she denied actual fling rumors afterwards.

Meanwhile, his relationship status is actually up in the air thanks to his ex-girlfriend contradicted his self-proclaimed single status with the fact she has a baby on the way. No matter what’s going on romantically with Choppa, he at the very least put on a smile and remained cordial when discussed. Hopefully that same attitude translates into taking care of his baby, for which he expressed a lot of motivation to do so. Regardless, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on NLE Choppa.

Chlöe Reunites With Halle Onstage

by

Chlöe and Halle, the Bailey sisters, reunited onstage during the former’s In Pieces tour stop in Atlanta on Sunday night (April 23). Moreover, the “Pray It Away” singer shared some thankful words and a few pictures on Instagram. Not only did she shout out her Little Mermaid star sister, but she posted a picture with Missy Elliott backstage. Also, she expressed gratitude for now having her now day in the city of Atlanta (for the record, April 22 is now Chlöe Day). In her caption, she briefly but humbly reflected on the great time she’s having on the road.

“ATL love yall so much,” she captioned her post with a heart emoji. “I got to reunite with my best friend on stage and even have my own national day now (Chloe Day April 22nd). Each night on tour has been so magical.” In addition to those social media celebrations, Chlöe took some time to celebrate in-person, as well. After the Atlanta show, she went to a club in the area with Quavo, who are rumored to be an item. Despite fans’ excitement, the 24-year-old hasn’t said much on the subject beyond just calling him a “really nice guy” with great locs.

Chlöe & Halle Reunite During The In Pieces Tour Stop In Atlanta

Unfortunately for the Atlanta native, reception to her album found itself buried under gossip, social media controversy, and low album sales. In fact, people in the media and fans online claimed that Beyoncé did Chlöe wrong by failing to promote her protégé’s album more. However, on The Breakfast Club, she stated that she isn’t to blame at all and brushed off people trying to spark beef with a lot of professionalism. ‘I love B,” Chlöe told the radio hosts. “She supported my sis and I since we had our little locs on YouTube so it’s all love over here, I love her.

“I was like, ‘At least they’re talking,’” she continued. “And at least people will go and listen to the project. And as much as people try to bring up numbers and things like that, I’m trending every other day. Marketing can’t buy that. A label can’t buy that. So people care enough to constantly have my name in their mouth. So, I’m doing something right. If it was real what people were saying, my tours wouldn’t be sold out. People wouldn’t be singing word-for-word on an album I just dropped a week and a half ago. That’s what I have to switch my perspective to, instead of allowing others and people who aren’t doing anything with themselves or their lives dim my light.” Regardless of that, stay up to date on HNHH for the latest news on Chlöe.
