N.O.R.E. And Nas Link-Up Backstage After A Wu-Tang Show

by

For the second year in a row, Nas and Wu-Tang Clan are touring together in a massive team-up of 90s rap legends. Currently, they’re playing shows all across Europe including a show in Paris last night. Turns out there was a special guest at that Paris show, N.O.R.E. of legendary rap duo Capone-N-Noreaga. Today video made its way to social media of N.O.R.E and Nas linking up backstage after the show.

The pair look like they haven’t skipped a beat. Nas immediately lights up with a massive smile and gives a big hug to his old friend. The two New York legends meet up and discuss the show Nas performed among a number of hip-hop veterans. Just last month N.O.R.E explained how “surreal” it felt to interview Nas on his Drink Champs podcast. He also recently performed at the throwback Lovers & Friends Festival where he once again linked up with some legends backstage.

N.O.R.E hasn’t been particularly busy on the musical front. His last new single came out back in 2021 and featured verses from Conway The Machine and Method Man. Nas on the other hand has kept himself very busy with his Kings Disease series. The trio of albums has dropped once a year for each of the past three years. They’re a continued collaborative effort between Nas and producer Hit-Boy. He also received critical acclaim for his 2021 album Magic a shorter record that features A$AP Rocky and DJ Premier. This year Nas has kept busy with the deluxe edition of Kings Disease III dropping a few months ago. He’s also lent guest verses to a handful of songs including tracks by Hit-Boy and Swizz Beats.

It’s unclear if the pair have any plans to ever link up for new music together. N.O.R.E gave hints after his performance at Lovers & Friends that it may be one of his last performances ever. Whether or not he will continue making music even if he ceases to perform is yet to be seen. What do you think of the two Queens icons linking up backstage? Tell us in the comments below.

SZA Stuns In Paris Wearing See-Through Pink Dress

by

SZA paid for her assets, and you better believe she is going to show them off. In a recent interview with Elle, SZA reflected on her choice to undergo a BBL. This is not the first time she has referenced having the procedure done, however. In the introduction track of her latest album, SOS, she mentions it. “That ass so fat, it look natural ,” she sings. “It’s not.” The topic came up again while the songstress discussed her fashion sense. In the interview, SZA admitted that she dislikes trying on clothes. Instead of shopping, she simply wears whatever she receives in the mail for free. In a sense, her behind is like a part of her outfit her her. “I treat my butt like a purse. It’s just there to enhance whatever else. And that’s why I paid for it, because it works all by itself.”

SZA is currently in Europe promoting her latest album. She recently concluded the initial run of shows on her “SOS” tour. The first leg lasted just over a month and took place in North America. Now, SZA has embarked on another tour, ready to showcase her vocal prowess in Europe. On June 1, the singer began the European tour in Amsterdam. Fans were treated to a few surprises at the tour stop, including Travis Scott joining SZA onstage. Now, the vocal vixen has moved on to Paris, where she is enjoying some free time before her show takes place.

SZA Is Sizzling Hot In New Instagram Post

SZA took to Instagram yesterday to post about her trip to Paris. She started off the photo set with a photo of herself posing on a balcony overlooking a Parisian street. In the picture, she leans on the railing, looking directly at the camera. The singer is adorned in a ruffled, transparent pink dress. She followed that photo up with several others, each showing off her curvaceous body. She also posted a slow-motion video of herself running through the Louvre in the same pink getup. The sultry songstress captioned the post “N*ggas in pareeeeeeeeee.” SZA followed that up with a comment explaining her footwear, which appeared to change from pink heels to schoolgirl-esque tabi shoes and long white socks. “Yes i have on tabbis .. yes I love them,” she wrote. “Yes u have to Stay mad and NOT in Paris.”

Fans had a field day in the comment section, of course. They commented on everything from her footwear to her semi-exposed assets. “Bae why you showing them…” said one, likely referring to her somewhat exposed chest. Another joked about the video of SZA running in the museum. “I was chasing her, thats why she was running in the third slide,” they wrote. Some fellow celebrities commented, as well. DJ Khaled, for example, simply left several fire emojis. “Solana is out here living her best life,” said Benny Blanco.

Pusha T Makes Suprise Appearance At We Love Green Festival

by

Pusha T surprised fans when he joined French band Phoenix on stage at the We Love Green Festival in Paris on June 2. They performed two songs – Phoenix’s 2000 hit “Funky Squaredance” and “All Eyes On Me”, Pusha T’s song from Clipse alongside his brother No Malice. Pusha T’s appearance was not wholly a surprise, as he was scheduled to appear at the festival.

Phoenix, formed in 1995, are a big-ticket item right now. They recently announced that they will be performing at Glastonbury later this month. Furthermore, they will be joining Beck on the “Summer Odyssey” tour of North America. They have had three albums chart on the Billboard 200. Their 2013 album Bankrupt! peaked at #4. Their most recent album, Alpha Zulu, did not chart. Despite this, it peaked at #50 on the Top Album Sales chart. However, few fans were expecting for Pusha T to appear on stage with the band.

Pusha T Undertakes European Tour

Last month, Pusha T announced that he was postponing his European tour for a second time. The musician was supposed to tour the continent last year after the release of his fourth studio album, It’s Almost Dry. It was the first #1 release of his career. However, the tour was postponed due to “production issues”. The tour was postponed again, with Pusha taking to Instagram to explain. “Apologies to my European family, but I have to shift my European tour dates due to production issues. After the overwhelming demand and sellouts it breaks my heart. We can’t deliver the show we envisioned within the original timeframe, and you all deserve the full ‘It’s Almost Dry’ experience.”

Due to this announcement, it was a surprise for Pusha T to appear at a music festival in Paris. The dates for the tour are fairly unclear, so it’s hard to say where and Pusha T is going to be in Europe. However, fans were treated to a vintage performance in Paris. According to his tour website, he is next scheduled to perform at SaSaZu in Prague. After that, he has a stop in Zurich before traveling back to New York for the Governor’s Ball.

Future & Jay-Z Were Happy To See Each Other During Beyonce’s Paris “RENAISSANCE” Performance

by

Beyonce has clearly been having a blast on her RENAISSANCE World Tour so far. While she’s been entertaining tens of thousands of fans multiple times a week across Europe, her husband, Jay-Z has been making headlines as well thanks to his antics in the audience. During opening night, he and Tyler Perry were caught on camera happily applauding a young couple as they got engaged during Bey’s performance in Stockholm. More recently, the father of three was seen grooving out with Megan Thee Stallion in the crowd.

Currently, the Destiny’s Child alum is camped out in Paris, where she has a handful of stadium shows lined up. Blue Ivy joined her to show off her impressive (albeit still criticized) dance moves during one of them. Elsewhere in the stunning city, Jay-Z linked up with some longtime friends at the RENAISSANCE venue, including Future. In a photo dump shared by @kodaklens, the New Yorker and Hendrix are seen smiling during a conversation mid-way through the post.

It remains unclear what the two music moguls were discussing. Nevertheless, fans of both would certainly be happy to hear another collaboration is in the works. They’ve never teamed up as a duo. However, in the past, we’ve heard Future and Jay-Z alongside DJ Khaled on 2016’s “I Got the Keys.” A few years later they joined the producer once again, this time also tapping Beyonce for 2019’s “Top Off.”

While the Roc Nation founder hasn’t explicitly shared plans to release anything in the near future, rumour has it that his wife could have another RENAISSANCE remix on the way. This past weekend, it was reported that she and Ariana Grande will team up to reimagine “PLASTIC OFF THE SOFA,” though we’re still awaiting official confirmation. Would you like to hear Future and Jay-Z hop on another track together? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Selena Gomez Confronts Beyonce’s Paris Concert’s Security

by

Everyone’s been going crazy at Beyonce’s RENAISSANCE tour, and her Paris show on Friday (May 26) might be her most eventful yet. Sure, there’s the spectacular concert itself spanning a lot of her best work, but the show also had quite a few famous faces show up. For example, her husband Jay-Z and Roc Nation-managed MC Megan Thee Stallion danced along to her hits and seemed to have a great time at the show. However, despite the many, many fans that went ecstatic when they saw her, it seems like Selena Gomez ran into more than that at the show. Furthermore, clips surfaced online of the actress having a heated discussion with security.

While it’s unclear what could’ve provoked this interaction, it does remind fans of another superstar that raised their voice at security at a massive concert. That time, though, it was the superstar themselves. During a Philly stop of her “Eras” tour (which is almost as in-demand and hyped as Quee Bey’s), Taylor Swift told security to get off of fans on the barricade. As such, many theorized that Selena Gomez was probably running into a similar situation, or at least something else that was hindering her experience or that of fans at the show.

Selena Gomez’s Brush With Security At Beyonce Show

In other Selena Gomez-related news, she recently had to deal with fans pitting her against Hailey Bieber, her ex’s wife. Fortunately, the two smoothed any speculated beef out and addressed fans who kept trying to incite problems between them. “I want to thank Selena for speaking out, as her and I have been discussing the last few weeks how to move past this ongoing narrative between her and I,” Hailey expressed on Instagram. “The last few weeks have been very hard for everyone involved and millions of people are seeing so much hate around this which is extremely harmful. While social media is an incredible way to connect and build community, moments like this only create extreme division instead of bringing people together.”

Meanwhile, maybe one day we’ll hear an explanation of what went down at Beyonce’s show. Still, you’ll find so many clips on social media of fans screaming for Selena and reaching their hands out to say hello as she walked past them. With that in mind, whatever happened with security is at least balanced out by the wave of admiration and love she surely felt. Regardless, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Selena Gomez and Beyonce’s RENAISSANCE tour.

Jay-Z & Megan Thee Stallion Link Up At Beyonce’s Paris Concert

by

Beyonce’s RENAISSANCE tour doesn’t just have one of the world’s biggest artists as its headliner; it also brings a lot of extra star power. Moreover, her husband Jay-Z and collaborator Megan Thee Stallion pulled up to one of her various tour stops in Paris, France to enjoy the show together. In addition, this was apparently the same show in which Blue Ivy joined her mom on stage as a dancer, getting lots of love from fans at the show and online alike. In the short clip of their visit to the show, they dance along to the music and laugh with each other.

Not a bad place to hang out and have fun for the Roc Nation representatives; the best place, in fact, some would say. After all, this was quite the stellar concert in particular for many reasons, even if fans have been loving the entire tour so far. For example, Beyonce also took some time to tribute the late great Tina Turner during her performance. Whether it’s through her passion for her own music or that of other legends, Meg’s fellow Houston-born friend always finds meaningful ways to connect with fans.

Megan Thee Stallion & Jay-Z Dancing At Beyonce’s Paris Show

Meanwhile, Megan Thee Stallion is still locked in a legal battle with her former label, 1501 Entertainment. For those unaware, the Hottie accused the imprint of holding her contract hostage and not allowing her to release music under her own terms or those set out by said document. Furthermore, she believes they imposed various obstacles on her music drops and refused to acknowledge long-form releases as apt fulfillments of her deal. Ironically enough, these issues surged after the rapper signed a management deal with Hov’s Roc Nation, allegedly much to the surprise of Carl Crawford of 1501.

Still, at least she could hopefully get a nice distraction from all of that from seeing a fantastic show. It’s been a rough few years for Megan, but she kept her head up through it all and is sure to feed fans more greatness in the future. Until then, we’re all patiently waiting… and envious of everyone else who was in Paris that night. For more updates and the latest news on Jay-Z, Beyonce, and Megan Thee Stallion, keep checking in with HNHH.

A$AP Rocky’s Iconic Paris Timbs Running Photo Appears All Over His New Shirt

by

A$AP Rocky has had a lot of big moments so far this year. First was watching his partner, Rihanna, reveal the news of their second baby during her Super Bowl Halftime performance. Later, he took over Paris with his incredible street style. A few weeks back, the New Yorker was seen filming a music video in the city of love. At the time, he impressively sprinted through the streets wearing blue jeans, a white tee, and of course, Timberland boots. The shoes certainly would’ve made it impossible for nearly anyone else to move with such speed.

Footage of the hilarious moment subsequently went viral online, causing many to laugh at the 34-year-old’s antics. While it’s mostly been forgotten about by now in favour of other stories, Rocky reminded us of his European escapades this weekend by wearing a shirt paying tribute to the moment. In a clip that’s making rounds, the Testing rapper wears a white tee covered with various miniature versions of him mid-run in his infamous outfit. He paired it with pink cargo pants, ever the lover of integrating femininity into his looks.

A$AP Rocky is in “Fashion Killa” Mode

As High Snobiety reports, A$AP meme’d himself while currently in Japan with Rihanna, completing the look with Dior sneakers. The brand responsible for putting him on a shirt is @waaaavyyy, and they’ve also created matching jeans in the same pattern. It remains unclear if the soon-to-be father of two received the full outfit, though we do know he’s promised the arrival of his highly anticipated “Don’t Be Dumb” visual in the near future.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen the multi-talent poke fun at his own viral moments. After getting caught up in a terrifying moshpit during a rowdy performance, he included a similar scene in his “Shittin’ Me” music video, much to the internet’s pleasure. Would you cop an A$AP Rocky Paris Timbs shirt? Let us know in the comments, and tap back in with HNHH later for more music/pop culture news updates.

A$AP Rocky Sprints In Timbs While In Paris

by

A$AP Rocky’s been a busy man in Paris, and new footage and reports from his visit are as goofy as they are lavish. Moreover, the “Everyday” MC recently filmed a video with his crew in the city, although it’s unclear whether it’s for anything other than a music video. Regardless, Rocky seemed to have a great time during the shoot, doing a wheelie on a bicycle and turning up with his entourage. Furthermore, recent footage shows the Harlem native sprinting down a street while wearing Timberlands, which could be a reaction GIF of its own. The Timbs are sacred, Rocky, so be careful with them when you run.

In addition, reports surfaced that he and his girlfriend Rihanna are reportedly house-hunting in Paris, as well. Photographers spotted them at various properties, including second-floor apartments and three-story houses. As such, many wonder just how much time the couple will spend in France over the foreseeable future. As one of music’s most successful and discussed power couples of the moment, such a luxury certainly isn’t out of reach for the two artists.

A$AP Rocky Runs Through Paris In Timbs

Also, A$AP Rocky and RiRi have been, unsurprisingly, serving looks around the city during their stay. No matter how low-key they try to be, people follow them around everywhere, and their stylish outfits don’t make that any easier. While going out for some food, the A$AP mogul wore a mid-wash denim jacket with black sunglasses. On her end, the “Diamonds” singer boasted her baby bump with a bright and cropped yellow sweater and sleek purple velvet pants. For anyone looking for inspirations for a drip upgrade, just check out the pics that paparazzi are able to snag from these two.

Meanwhile, fans eagerly anticipate Rocky’s next studio album, reportedly titled Don’t Be Dumb, which will be his first in five years following 2018’s TESTING. Given that he will headline Rolling Loud Miami this year, die-hards expect another great performance with hopefully no external issues this time around. It also gives hope that Don’t Be Dumb launches sooner rather than later. As far as when this album will drop, we’ll all have to wait and see. Regardless, stay posted on HNHH for the latest updates and news on A$AP Rocky.

A$AP Rocky & Rihanna Are In “Fashion Killa” Mode During Date Night In France

by

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are frequently known for turning heads with their street style in New York City. Now, however, the rapper and singer are giving the citizens of Paris some fashion inspiration with their latest looks. For the latter half of April, they’ve been spending plenty of time exploring the French capital, whether together, individually, or in the company of their firstborn son, who’s unsurprisingly something of a “Fashion Killa” in his own right.

Last week the “Changes” hitmaker kept busy filming what appears to be a music video with some friends. The Barbadian also met up with some of her pals, posing for stunning photos with her bump on display while meeting them at some of the city’s finest restaurants. On Sunday (April 23), paparazzi cameras caught the lovers heading out to grab a bite together, both obviously dressed in their best. Rocky kept it cool in a stud-covered mid-wash denim jacket and sunglasses, while Rihanna certainly brightened the mood with her ensemble.

Rihanna and Rocky Dine in the City of Love

Not only did she catch our eye with her adorable bright yellow cropped polo sweater and flashy silver jewelry, but we can’t get enough of her bottoms either. Rather than tone down the vibrant, fuzzy top, Rih opted to bring the same energy to her pants, wearing deep purple velvet trousers with ruching running up the legs. As has become tradition lately, the 35-year-old had her budding baby bump out and about while she and Rocky eagerly await the arrival of their second child together.

The little one’s gender and even the ANTI artist’s due date remain unclear, though we do know her son will be celebrating his first birthday in May. The Bad Gal shocked the world when she revealed her second pregnancy during her iconic Super Bowl Halftime performance, which also marked her first time on stage in several years. While many expected her to return with news of an album, fans have been just as happy to see their favourite singer venturing into her new journey of motherhood. Which of Rihanna’s recent outfits has been your favourite? See more of ours here, and let us know in the comments below.

Rihanna & A$AP Rocky House Hunting In Paris During Vacation: Report

by

As their family expands, so too does their property. As DailyMail reports, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were photographed checking out houses in Paris earlier this week. The couple is reportedly hoping to purchase a place in the city. It remains unclear if anything they viewed on this trip caught their eye. Among current considerations are a second-floor apartment, as well as a three-story house, located in the 16th arrondissement. Their son, whose first birthday is quickly approaching, didn’t appear to be with them at the time. They went to tour their potential new homes between 3 and 5 AM on April 18.

It’s likely the expecting parents stepped out in the early hours of the morning to avoid being caught on camera. Unfortunately, their mission was unsuccessful. Photos of them entering a van and exploring behind a gated property are now making rounds on social media. “Kind of sad they can’t even go out at 3 AM without getting followed,” one Twitter user pointed out upon seeing the paparazzi images.

Rihanna and Rocky Check Out Paris Property

Rocky and Rihanna have been keeping undeniably busy during their time overseas. Of course, the New Yorker has been busy filming what appears to be an upcoming music video or promotional material with friends in Paris’ cobbled streets. For her part, the 35-year-old has been entertaining her son with shopping trips to Louis Vuitton and other designer stores, all while showing off her growing bump – and wearing heels. She’s also been seen grabbing dinner at restaurants like Cesar. Elsewhere, the Bad Gal and her beau happily supported Jay-Z at his surprise concert.

It remains unclear how far along she is in her second pregnancy. Nevertheless, the Ocean’s 8 actress looks to be enjoying her life as a new mother. When she’s not carrying Baby Fenty around Europe, she’s been posting adorable snapshots and videos of him all over her Instagram page. Most recently, she adorned him in sweet bunny ears while celebrating Easter, also icing the young boy out with some serious jewelry.
