A$AP Rocky Shooting Video In Paris

A$AP Rocky recently got fans recharged for his upcoming musical moves after people spotted him filming a video in Paris. Moreover, it’s most likely for a music video, but other promotional footage isn’t out of the question, either. Regardless, it certainly builds hype back up for his upcoming studio album, reportedly titled Don’t Be Dumb and that should drop at some point this year. Back to the video, though, some of the footage involves Rocky riding a bike and turning up with his crew, all of whom wore white cloths over their faces. All in all, it seems like quite the hyped and excited visual, which we’re sure will come with trippy edits and fantastic shots as usual from the A$AP leader.

In other A$AP Rocky news, Metro Boomin recently shared some words of appreciation for his collaborator. Furthermore, the star producer posted a picture of the two together on Twitter and spoke on their friendship’s history. “Flacko my real brother since Yams introduced us 13 years ago and been solid ever since,” Metro wrote. “I’m 4ever grateful for brosay.” Given that they also teased more collaborations in the future, this also recently got die-hards ecstatic for Rakim Mayers’ next move.

A$AP Rocky Filming Visuals In Paris

In addition, the “Excuse Me” MC recently appeared alongside one of his close friends, frequent collaborators, and fellow style icon. Tyler, The Creator tapped him for the song “WHARF TALK” off of his recent CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST: The Estate Sale expansion. Not only that, but it was one of the leftover tracks from that album that Tyler had to bring to light. Fortunately, fans didn’t miss out on another stellar track from the duo.

Meanwhile, A$AP Rocky released a few singles for his upcoming album, including the track “Same Problems?” That track saw the 34-year-old in a much more reflective, somber, and conciliatory mind state, reflecting on how his subject matter might impact wider societal issues more negatively. Whether it’s with bangers or with ballads, this is shaping up to be an exciting and definitive return to the studio album space for the New York icon. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on A$AP Rocky.

Rihanna’s Maternity Style Makes A Statement During Paris Vacation

Coachella may have seemed like the place to be this past weekend, but truthfully, it seems as though just as many of our favourite celebrities were turning up in Paris. Of course, Jay-Z was in the city for a surprise performance in tandem with Louis Vuitton, honouring the late great Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Lil Tjay was also around, giving an incredible performance to a massive crowd nearly a year after he was first due to take the stage in France on the day of his traumatizing shooting. Rihanna and A$AP Rocky were there too, and cameras caught the 35-year-old sporting plenty of stunning maternity fashion moments.

For one outing, the ANTI artist kept her blossoming baby bump on display under a cropped grey sweater, Her pregnancy glow is infectious, and the smile on her face proves that motherhood is truly becoming on Rihanna. Not one was she shining bright like a diamond, but the collection of jewels around her neck and wrists were too.

Rihanna Looks Pretty in Paris

As DailyMail reports, the Barbadian stepped out sans A$AP Rocky for dinner with a friend one night, wearing a knit brown tube top with a fur coat over cobalt blue pants. Being the makeup mogul that she is, Rihanna perfectly matches her bottoms with eyeliner and earrings, also adding a simple gold necklace to brighten up the simple but stylish outfit. She and her boyfriend also made an appearance at Jay-Z’s concert, where cameras caught them happily watching on from a balcony together.

There are plenty of images of her circulating online, but the 35-year-old hasn’t been sharing any content from Europe herself. Rather, the Bad Gal’s Instagram feed has become almost exclusively dedicated to her months-old son, who’s become known to the internet as Baby Fenty. Most recently, she showed him off in a series of adorable Easter photos that find him looking even cooler than both of his parents. Scroll on to see more photos and videos from Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s trip to Paris. Afterward, tell us which of the Bad Gal’s outfits is your favourite in the comments below.

Lil Tjay Performs For Massive Crowd In Paris After Shooting Recovery

At just 21 years old, Lil Tjay has been through a lot – including being shot seven times last June. At the time, the young lyricist was hours away from hopping on a flight to Paris. This obviously never came to be as a result of his nearly fatal injuries. He’s taken the time since then to recover and focus on his health – still showing out with noteworthy new music releases from time to time. Now that he’s feeling more like himself again, Tjay finally took his flight to France this past weekend. He performed in the city of love for a crowd who was nothing short of enthused to see him back on stage.

On Sunday (April 16), Akademiks posted a video from the recent event. It shows hundreds of people shining light from their phones back at Tjay as he entertains them. “I got shot right before I got on the plane,” the “Beat the Odds” artist reflected at the show. “I got a second chance at life,” he also noted before launching into a fan favourite from his discography.

Lil Tjay Does it Big in Paris

On his own Instagram feed, Tjay has been commerating his time overseas with plenty of content. He began the month of April in Israel, later travelling to Germany, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Hungary. Earlier this week, he also hit up Italy. To mark his time in France, the lyricist cleverly referenced a bar from Jay-Z and Kanye West’s “N*ggas in Paris” in his caption. “If you escaped what I escaped, you’d be in Paris getting f*cked up too!! 🤷🏾‍♂️🍻,” it reads.

Speaking of Hov, he also made an appearance in the capital of France this weekend. The father of three was tapped to perform at Louis Vuitton’s surprise concert in honour of Andy Warhol and Jean Michel-Basquiat, during which he rapped his and Ye’s 2011 hit, along with a host of other popular tracks. Aside from those performances, music lovers have also been raving about sets at both Coachella and Rolling Loud Thailand over the past few days. Scroll on to see more photos and videos from Lil Tjay’s Eurotrip, and tap back in later for more hip-hop news updates.

Jay-Z Performs “N***as In Paris” In Paris To A Wild Crowd

Jay-Z’s surprise concert with Louis Vuitton in Paris to celebrate the work of Andy Warhol and Jean-Michel Basquiat just wrapped up, and the clips look absolutely insane. With just two days of anticipation, Hov let fans know that he was returning to the stage, and brought an insane tracklist to boot. Not only did it span his entire catalog (shout out to the fellow “Can I Live” fans out there), but it made for meta gold. Of course “N***as In Paris” in Paris was an absolute smasher, with the crowd screaming every lyric back at the New York legend.

The auditorium presumably fits up to 1,000 people, but the energy might as well have come from a whole stadium of fans. Also, he played tracks like “Can’t Knock The Hustle,” “Heart of the City (Ain’t No Love),” “Oceans,” and “Encore.” Last we heard from Jay on the stage was at this year’s Grammys, where he performed the track “GOD DID,” and his fantastic verse on it wowed audiences. “I thought about it, I was in my head and I just broke down and said, ‘You know, it’s a four-minute verse.’ Again, for the culture, for Hip Hop, we got to do that,” he said in a TIDAL interview.

Jay-Z Gives The Crowd In Paris A Fantastic Show

“This ain’t your traditional song,” the 53-year-old continued. “It’s not your traditional structure of what you think a song that would be nominated for Song of the Year would sound like. It’s not what you expect. And for the culture and for Hip Hop, we got to do that. We owe that. This thing that changed our lives. We got to do that. A four-minute verse performed at the Grammys. We owe it to the culture, and it ain’t even a burden. It’s a blessing. It’s easy and fun.” Check out the tracklist from Jay’s Paris performance down below, plus some other clips. As always, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates from Jay-Z.

Kim Kardashian & Saint West Hit Up Paris For PSG Soccer Game Amid Europe Trip

Kim Kardashian and Saint West continued their Europe trip by going to another soccer game after they supported Arsenal earlier this week. Moreover, she and her son pulled up to Paris for the game pitting PSG against Rennes at the Parc des Princes stadium. Also, it seems like Kendall Jenner also joined them. However, PSG lost much like Arsenal did, so people are lamenting an apparent Kardashian curse. From what pictures indicate, they enjoyed a great view of the game from a box seat vantage point. Not only that, but it looks like Saint also brought along a couple of his friends to enjoy the game with him. Kim was in all-black with shades, with Saint wearing a PSG jersey, as they even came down to the field for some pictures.

Of course, Kim’s been a soccer mom for a while now, and enjoys taking her kids to their outdoor activities. For example, Saint plays in a local league back home, and the entertainment and lifestyle mogul is often in attendance. Actually, it’s one of the frequent occasions where she and ex husband Kanye West coincide. While their split was turbulent to say the least (and still is to a degree), they seem to treat each other cordially in public, especially for the sake of their kids.

Kim Kardashian & Saint West Attend PSG Game

Speaking of Ye, he’s often hung out with his and Kim’s daughter North recently, introducing her to his new wife Bianca Censori. Furthermore, they recently went to Universal Studios Hollywood together for some fun times alongside producer 88-Keys. They actually hung out a couple of times, although it’s unclear whether she met Chicago, Saint, or Psalm yet. Whatever the case, at least seeing the Chicago rapper with his children is a good sign for their relationship. Awkwardness aside, hopefully they leave the tabloid stuff at the door when it comes to all their personal relationships.

Meanwhile, Kim and North recently had a great time hanging out with Ice Spice, who North is a huge fan of. Their TikToks together took the platform by storm and further cement Spice as an icon right now. No matter what either parent is up to, it’s rare to see them be away from their kids for too long, and the little ones are clearly having fun as a result. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest on Kim Kardashian and her family with Kanye West and beyond.
