Travis Kelce Speaks On Sydney Zoo Trip With Taylor Swift, Claims They Were “Chased” By Helicopters

March 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Travis Kelce has opened up about the good and bad aspects of his recent trip to Sydney Zoo with Taylor Swift. Kelce claimed they were hounded by airborne paparazzi hanging out of helicopters to grab photos of the couple. “There were full-on helicopters just flying around. They helicoptered us. Well, not us — Taylor. This is all because Taylor is the biggest and the best thing possible,” Kelce told his brother on their podcast.

However, it wasn’t all bad. “Saw a tiger sitting up in a tree house — that sh-t was f-cking sweet. Saw a lion close up. When you hear [them roar], cause Taylor took the picture … you’re just like, ‘Oh my gosh.’ Let alone one, you see three of them run down from their rock, their perch, knowing they’re about to get fed. You see how fast and agile that thing is — dude it’s over,” Kelce continued.

Travis Kelce & Taylor Swift Face Backlash For Sydney Zoo Date

However, not everyone thought that Kelce and Swift’s trip was “f-cking sweet”. The couple is continuing to face a wave of backlash from PETA and other animal rights activists for their trip. However, the couple has been given a “pass” by noted PETA supporter Jennifer Coolidge. While Coolidge said she “understood” why PETA was mad, she didn’t think that Kelce and Swift’s date was malicious. Instead, she saw it as just a public couple going on what they considered a romantic date.

The couple were spotted enjoying the popular tourist attraction last week between shows on Swift’s ongoing Eras Tour. Earlier in the week, Swifties had been gushing over Swift’s reactions to the various exhibits during a solo trip to the zoo. Kelce, who was spotted in Las Vegas earlier in the week, reportedly flew from LA to Hawaii. He then stayed the night in the island state earlier in the week. He then reportedly transferred to a private jet that departed for Sydney the day before he was spotted at the zoo.

Kanye West Confronts Screaming Paparazzi Overseas In Funny Video

February 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Being a celebrity has never been easy, but thanks to modern technology, it’s more stressful than ever for famous people attempting to live “normal” lives. Posting on social media in real-time can lead to run-ins with stalkers, and if they choose to stay off the grid, “citizen journalists” can still expose their whereabouts in a matter of seconds. Now that his first Vultures LP is here, Kanye West is spending plenty of time outside again, recently exploring Europe in interesting fashions with his wife, Bianca Censori.

Whenever Ye leaves his hotel – or anywhere else for that matter – a group of photographers seems to always be waiting for him. Most of them usually want to capture snapshots of the father of four’s eccentric looks, though some overzealous and curious others have endured physical altercations with West. Earlier this week he was forced to confront those “stalking” him overseas, though he managed to do it in a relatively calm manner.

Kanye West Just Wants Everyone to Quiet Down

As they repeatedly yell out his name, Yeezy and his security team ensure Censori safely makes it into their vehicle. “When you photograph, just stop screaming at me,” the “4th Dimension” artist said from behind a full facial covering. “I don’t want to get screamed at every time I go to the car,” he continued as everyone around him assured Mr. West he was understood. Nevertheless, they continued to shout, telling the Chicago native that they were simply trying to support him by taking his picture. “If you wanna support me, then listen, don’t scream at me,” Ye pleaded, the frustration evident in his voice.

After several decades of working in the music industry, Kanye West is now more comfortable than ever setting boundaries with fans and paparazzi. We’ve seen him get physical with some photographers in the past, but thankfully, he seems to be getting better at communicating through words rather than actions. During a recent run-in with some supporters overseas, Yeezy was happy to sign autographs for them. However, he refused to use a young woman’s bunny-shaped pen, generating plenty of laughs from the small group.

Rihanna & ASAP Rocky Clowned By Parisian Paparazzi On Valentine’s Day Date

February 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no surprise that Rihanna and ASAP Rocky celebrated Valentine’s Day in style this year, but as expected, the power couple wasn’t able to get much alone time. They arrived at their date night location, a fancy restaurant in Paris, and were immediately swarmed by countless paparazzi. Most of their commentary was complimentary and included praise for the performers’ luxe looks. They switched up once the pair entered the restaurant, however.

In a new clip, ASAP Rocky and Rihanna are seen behind a glass window, kissing and hugging as they chatted with others in the restaurant. They didn’t catch on to the fact that they were being watched right away, or notice the onlookers’ commentary. The photographers giggled as the pair got close, teasing them in French for the romantic scene.

Eventually, ASAP caught wind of the crowd behind them. He turned around to flash a big smile and a peace sign as Rihanna chatted with someone else nearby. Of course, the acknowledgment prompted some giddy cheers from the onlookers, who waited around for the pair to finish their meal. Fortunately, ASAP and Rihanna didn’t appear to mind that they had company. As they exited the restaurant and got into their car, ASAP even stopped to call one of the paparazzi “the best,” claiming that he’d known him since he was a teenager.

This is far from the couple’s first outing in Paris, however. Last month, ASAP Rocky and Rihanna attended Fashion Week in the French capital and even met with President Emmanuel Mac ron. What do you think of ASAP Rocky and Rihanna getting made fun of by paparazzi in Paris? Do you think they enjoyed their swanky Valentine’s Day excursion? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Kanye West Snatches TMZ Photographer’s Phone Following Question About “Controlling” Bianca Censori

January 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West grabbed a TMZ photographer’s phone out of their hands after being asked about his wife, Bianca Censori. The camera person asked Ye about rumors he’s “controlling” her and has banned her from freely using her social media pages. West was heading to Hollywood Blvd. for Charlie Wilson’s Walk of Fame ceremony on Monday when the incident occurred.

In video of the incident, West smacks the camera away as soon as the reporter brings up Censori. “Don’t come after me with your dumbass sh*t,” West can be heard saying. “I’m a person bro. You’re recording. Don’t come ask me that dumbass sh*t. I’m a person.” When the photographer asks for their phone back, West initially refuses but goes on to offer them a job paying double what they make at TMZ.

As for the reports about Ye “controlling” his wife, an insider told Page Six: “Bianca has always had social media and she was active on it — until she married Kanye. He doesn’t want her to have it because he thinks that it will hurt her if she had to read the nasty things that people say. He convinced her that, since she is a star now, she has to remain a mystery and it is creepy to those who know her as it feels like another form of control.” Ye had been repeatedly posting photos of Censori wearing little to no clothes on his Instagram. Check out the video of his altercation with the TMZ photographer below.

Kanye West Goes At TMZ Photographer

Monday isn’t the first time West and Censori have been involved in an incident with the media as of late. Earlier this month, TMZ published a video in which the two were accosted by a stranger in Los Angeles. The man approached them and repeatedly shouted “You ain’t sh*t, boy!!!” and also called out Playboi Carti. Be on the lookout for further updates on Kanye West on HotNewHipHop.

Kanye West & Bianca Censori Host Impromptu Paparazzi Photoshoot

January 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West and Bianca Censori have become a power couple of sorts as of late. Overall, Censori and West’s relationship has been ongoing for over a year at this point. However, there have been some criticisms levied at West in regard to how he treats his new wife. Some feel like she is paraded around in some not-so-flattering ways. Furthermore, there were reports that her own family was concerned about the situation. Needless to say, not everyone is approving of what they have going on.

Having said that, the two still seem to be going strong. Amid reports that Ye is going to drop Vultures, Censori has been by Ye’s side every day. The two have been out in Los Angeles and have had numerous run-ins with the paparazzi. For instance, he was showing the paps how they should be filming him, just a few days ago. Now, according to TMZ, Kanye is inviting them into his studio. It is a far cry from his mentality of the past, in which he had a hostile relationship with photographers.

Either way, it must have been quite the experience for those in the room.

Kanye West Shows Paparazzi How To Film Bianca Censori: Watch

January 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West and Bianca Censori have been everywhere together over the past few months. From Italy to Saudi Arabia, there is no doubt that they like traveling the world. Overall, their marriage has been a bit of a mystery to folks. The whole thing was pretty lowkey as one day, Ye and Censori were just together. However, since that time, they have been attached at the hip. Although some people are concerned for Censori, there are others who are happy for the couple. Regardless, they are two people that make headlines.

Recently, the two have actually been back in Los Angeles. After all, this is where Kanye West lives the vast majority of the time. Furthermore, he is looking to make the finishing touches on his new album, Vultures. As we reported yesterday, Ye was spotted out and about with Censori, and he was yelled at by a homeless person. It was a very bizarre scene, although they eventually escaped the scene without issues. In another run-in with the paparazzi, Ye ended up taking an interesting approach.

Kanye West Gives A Lesson

According to TMZ, you can see that Ye was having a full-on lesson with the paps. For instance, he was showing them what angles they should be taking. Moreover, he revealed how they should stand and what the shots should look like. It was all very impressive and only lasted a few seconds. Bianca Censori seemed a bit taken aback by Ye’s display of initiative, although in the end, it may have led to some better photos. Whatever the case, Ye is accustomed to this kind of stuff and he is a seasoned veteran when it comes to the world of paparazzi.

Let us know how you think Ye handled this situation, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will always keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming releases.

Cassie Appears Carefee In 1st Public Sighting Since Diddy Settlement

November 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Cassie appeared to be in good spirits in the first public photographs taken since settling her recent bombshell lawsuit against Diddy. Page Six published the pictures, which show her walking around her hometown of New London, Connecticut on Monday afternoon. She’s rocking a gray sweatshirt, with matching sweatpants and sneakers. For the walk, she brought along her 3-year-old daughter Frankie.

The pictures come after the outlet also caught Diddy for the first time since the lawsuit, earlier this week. The Bad Boy mogul appeared in much worse shape, looking stressed and hiding his face in his hands.

Cassie filed the lawsuit against Diddy, last week, accusing him of physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. Less than 24 hours later, the two settled. “I have decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control,” Cassie wrote in a statement afterward. “I want to thank my family, fans and lawyers for their unwavering support.” In his own statement, Diddy added: “We have decided to resolve this matter amicably. I wish Cassie and her family all the best. Love.”

Regardless of the settlement, Diddy’s lawyer, Ben Brafman, says his client is not guilty. He wrote: “Just so we’re clear, a decision to settle a lawsuit, especially in 2023, is in no way an admission of wrongdoing. Mr. Combs‘ decision to settle the lawsuit does not in any way undermine his flat-out denial of the claims. He is happy they got to a mutual settlement and wishes Ms. Ventura the best.” As for the latest photos of Cassie, we’re not permitted to post the images here directly, but if you’d like to see them, you can do so by clicking the “Via” link below.

Jason Kelce Questions Level Of Media Attention About His Brother’s Relationship With Taylor Swift

October 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jason Kelce has spoken out about the level of media attention his brother Travis has received for dating Taylor Swift. “It’s certainly been weird, the level that it is now. On one hand, I’m happy for my brother that he seems to be in a relationship that he’s excited about [and] that he is genuine about. But there’s another end of it where it’s like, ‘Man, this is a lot.’ There’s paparazzi talking about him fueling his car before the game today and I’m like, ‘Is that really necessary information to share?’ This is another level of stardom that typically football players don’t deal with,” Kelce told NBC Sports this past weekend.

Travis Kelce is perhaps the most spotlighted player in the NFL right now thanks to his relationship with Taylor Swift. While Jason also said that he was fine with Travis getting the attention as long as it didn’t jeopardize his safety, it may have already reached that point. Kelce reportedly recently purchased a new home in a gated community, in part due to the level of attention his current home received from paparazzi and fans. While nothing untoward has happened yet, it does feel as if the fever pitch is about to break.

Traylor Hype Continues To Build

Of course, Jason isn’t just speaking of turn. Traylor, also known as Trayvis, is the hot celebrity pairing right now. Last week, fans of Swift mobbed a restaurant in Connecticut because a fan account claimed the couple was lunching with Blake Lively. Outlets, this one included, report every single interaction no matter how small. Kelce and Swift can’t do normal couple things like kiss or hold hands without someone making it front-page news.

Even Kelce himself has spoken out about it. “I think it’s fun when they show who all is at the game. I think it brings a little bit more to the atmosphere, brings a little bit more to what you’re watching. But at the same time, I think they’re overdoing it a little bit for sure. Especially my situation,” Kelce said of the NFL’s insistence on cutting to Swift every few minutes during games. However, there is little expectation that the hype and media scrutiny is going away anytime soon.

Travis Kelce On Media Frenzy Over Taylor Swift Romance: “It Comes With It.”

October 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Travis Kelce discussed how he’s been dealing with the increased media attention amid his romantic relationship with Taylor Swift during a press conference on Friday. The pop star has been in attendance at the Kansas City Chiefs’ last two games to support the Super Bowl-winning tight end.

“We’re learning with the paparazzi taking photos from all over the place,” Kelce told reporters on Friday. “But at the same time, you know, it comes with it. You’ve got a lot of people that care about Taylor, and for good reason. You’ve just got to keep living and learning and enjoying the moments.”

It’s not the first time Kelce has commented on his fling with Taylor Swift. After she attended the Chiefs’ win over the Chicago Bears, Kelce spoke about it on his podcast, New Heights. “Shout out to Taylor for pullin’ up; that was pretty ballsy, that was pretty ballsy, yeah. I just thought it was awesome how everybody in the suite had nothing but great things to say about her, you know?” Kelce said. “The friends, the family. She looked amazing, everybody was talking about her in a great light, and on top of that, the day went perfect for Chiefs fans, of course. We script it all, ladies and gentlemen. It was just impressive. It was impressive. To see the slow-motion chest bumps, to see the high-fives with mom, to see how, you know, Chiefs kingdom was all excited that she was there, that sh*t was absolutely hysterical, and it was definitely a game I’ll remember, that’s for damn sure.”

After attending the Chiefs-Bears game, Swift brought Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds along to the team’s next contest against the New York Jets. Be on the lookout for further updates on Kelce and Swift’s relationship on HotNewHipHop.

Saint West Flashes Middle Finger At Paparazzi While Out With Kim Kardashian

September 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Seeing as they’re still relatively young, Kim Kardashian’s four children haven’t been caught up in too much drama so far. There’s obviously been controversy surrounding her eldest, North West’s TikTok account. However, the reality star has done her best to monitor their joint profile so her daughter can continue to express her creativity. As for her second-born child, Kardashian and Saint West spend plenty of their time together enjoying sports events.

Earlier in the summer, the mother-son duo did some travelling around the globe to watch the seven-year-old’s favourite soccer players. While in Japan, Kimye’s son had the chance to pose for photos with iShowSpeed and Cristiano Ronaldo among other icons. Now that he’s back home in America, Saint’s love for soccer hasn’t slowed down any. Nevertheless, his attitude toward the paparazzi has turned up significantly. As The Sun reports, the nepo baby was caught on camera flipping them off with his middle finger earlier this week.

According to the outlet, Kardashian was taking the young boy and a friend to their game before heading to Island Burgers for a meal. Looking as happy as ever in his uniform, Saint looked directly at photographers while giving them the finger. When the 42-year-old realized what happened, she reportedly “gave him a stern talking-to” before getting back to business.

Being Kim Kardashian certainly isn’t easy. Not only does the socialite have her four little ones to take care of practically full-time, but she’s also been booked and busy with various projects all summer long. Among them is American Horror Story‘s latest season, Delicate, in which she’s set to showcase her acting skills. Check out the trailer for the upcoming installment of the Ryan Murphy series below, and since we’re not permitted to post the pap photos of Saint West directly on HNHH, you can access them by clicking on the Via.
