Drake Looks Focused In His Pre-Tour Photo Dump

It’s about that time. Drake will finally hit the road at the end of the month for his first tour in five years. He, alongside 21 Savage, will embark on the It’s All A Blur tour across North America. There’s no doubt that this is one of the most anticipated tours of the year, especially since Drake’s delivered three full-length projects within fourteen months of each other. However, the rapper is evidently experiencing bittersweet emotions as he says farewell to his hometown for the summer.

Over the weekend, Drake shared a heartfelt message to the city that raised him. Explaining that it’s been nearly 6 years since he left Toronto for such a lengthy period of time, he bid farewell before hitting the road. “Goodbye, my beautiful city,” he wrote. “I haven’t left for this reason in almost 6 years, but I hope I can make you proud once again. I love you all. Have an amazing summer, and pls try to take care of each other. See you in October,” he added. Per Drakerelated.com, he’ll be closing out the tour in Toronto on October 5th and 7th.

Drake kicks off the It’s All A Blur tour in Memphis on June 29th, 2023. However, before leaving Toronto, the rapper shared a photo dump on Tuesday (June 13th) of his last-minute tour prep. The first photo sees Drake hopping for toiletries at a Shoppers Drug Mart in a Toronto Transit Commission employee jacket. Elsewhere in the slide, Drake appears to be quite pensive as he prays and prepares to hit the road. “And away we go…” he captioned the post.

Besides his tour, fans suspect that Drake could have new music up his sleeve. The rapper released “Search & Rescue” earlier this year, while a leak of the original song with Lil Durk surfaced last week. However, he also debuted his highly anticipated collab with Lil Uzi Vert, “At The Gates” on Sound 42. Most recently, he teamed up with J Hus on his single, “Who Told You.” Maybe, we’ll get a new single from Drake this summer or the highly-teased Scary Hours 3 EP.

Megan Thee Stallion Stuns In New IG Photo Dump

Megan Thee Stallion has shared an array of new flicks with her IG followers in her latest photo dump. She is seen flexing various bold accessories, like her unique watch rings that fans in the comments are loving. Fans are also dying for the coordinating watch-themed set of nails she shows off in the same photo.

Though she’s given fans a sneak-peak into her recent escapades with her recent post, she told Instyle last month that it might be a while before she unveils any new music. “Fans can expect new music when I’m in a better place,” she shared with the outlet. She went on to claim that she’s focusing on herself for the time being, saying that, “Right now, I’m focused on healing.”

Her IG followers may not be the only ones to enjoy Megan Thee Stallion’s latest photo dump. Last week, rumors that she’s romantically involved with pro soccer player Romelu Lukaku arose on social media. The pair was spotted getting close with one another at Lukaku’s teammate, Lautaro Martinez’ wedding last weekend.

Yesterday, it was also reported that Los Angeles prosecutors are seeking 13 years in prison for Tory Lanez’ charges in the Megan Thee Stallion shooting case. Last year, he was found guilty of various felony charges. He’s now facing a maximum of 22 years and eight months behind bars. “Words have power and the pen is oftentimes mightier than the sword. In this case, Daystar Peterson [Lanez’s legal name] used both,” a memo filed by the prosecution reads. “Not content to have hurt the victim by use of his sword (gun), he also used his pen. His online posts for nearly three years have re-traumatized the victim.” It continues, “the defendant’s statements embolden his followers so that they too have been complicit in re-traumatizing the victim. [Lanez] is responsible for the effect of his words and his actions.”

SZA Delivers Cheeky Photo Dump On IG

SZA has been very busy as of late. Overall, the artist went on a massive tour to support the release of S.O.S. Of course, there was a lot riding on the success of this album. Upon release, it had been five years since CTRL had hit the market. This album was considered to be one of the best of 2017, which is impressive when you consider how great that year was. Although some felt like she couldn’t follow up on this success, she proved everyone wrong. Subsequently, she has put herself in the running as one of the biggest artists in the world.

Additionally, there has been all sorts of discourse surrounding SZA and her butt. The artist is one of many who have gotten themselves a BBL. Brazilian Butt Lifts are quite controversial, however, they are immensely popular in entertainment circles. For the R&B songstress, it’s just about accentuating her features. “I hate trying on clothes,” SZA told Elle. “I don’t shop anywhere, I just wear whatever is free in my mail. I’m like, ‘Is it an extra large? Great.’ If I can feel like I’m under a blanket when I’m outside, that’s ideal. 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.”

Beyonce’s Latest “RENAISSANCE” Tour Photo Dump Shows How Proud She Is Of Blue Ivy Carter

The RENAISSANCE World Tour is an unbelievably big moment for Beyonce, but she’s been remaining humble throughout it all. Of course, the Houston native is stepping out in glamorous outfits and proving that her vocals only get better with age, but she’s also been applauding the BeyHive for showing out in their own ways too. Aside from that, recent performances have also seen Bey tapping her eldest daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, to join her on the stadium stage.

For an 11-year-old, the young girl held her own remarkably well and proved that she definitely inherited some of her parent’s skills. Nevertheless, hate still poured out from internet trolls, many of them accusing Blue of moving too stiffly. The comments clearly haven’t gotten to her, as Beyonce’s daughter has since joined her for three more concerts, each of which has seen nepo baby steadily grow in her confidence and capabilities. On Saturday (June 3), the Destiny’s Child alumn’s Instagram feed lit up with a new dump of photos – one of which perfectly captures the mother-daughter duo in their element.

Beyonce kicks things off with a glamorous look at one of her costumes – a curve-hugging black dress with a hip-height leg slit. Afterward, the singer shows off her custom earrings, which spell “RENAISSANCE” vertically down each ear. Midway through the post, the southern starlet transitions into a sultry red look before closing out with an image of her and Blue Ivy.

While her and Jay-Z’s daughter stands on a platform, fist proudly risen in the air after nailing her routine, Queen B watches on from behind. The pride clearly runs in the family, as Blue’s grandmother also dedicated a post to her on IG, praising her kin’s hard work and cool new hairstyle.

Chloe Bailey Goes “Harajuku Barbie” Mode For New Photos & TikTok Challenge

Seeing as she’s spent all of her adult life in the spotlight, Chloe Bailey has obviously come to understand that the general public will have opinions about virtually every move she makes. As the Atlanta native first began embarking on her solo career a few years ago, some argued that she was trying too hard to give off a sexy image. Many have since come to terms with the ways in which she expresses herself. Still, that doesn’t mean Chloe’s comment section is free from hate entirely.

On Saturday (June 3), her Instagram feed lit up with a new photo dump. This one showcases a stunning “Harajuku Barbie 💗🦋” look. Bailey obviously took inspiration from figures like Nicki Minaj and Gwen Stefani when putting together the blue outfit, which includes several mesh cutouts located around her chest and hips. The outfit is undeniably on point, but what’s really got fans’ attention is the “Have Mercy” hitmaker’s hair, which has been beautifully styled into space buns on either side of her head.

Throughout the snapshots we see Bailey striking various poses, snapping some selfies in the mirror and riding in the back of a car snacking on one of her favourites – watermelon. It remains unclear exactly what the Praise This actress was dressed up for, or if she was simply playing dress-up to take fun photos for her fans.

While many are complimenting both Chloe’s hair and wardrobe stylist, others are calling her out in the replies. “Cultural appropriation, much?” one user asked. “Love you since ‘Have Mercy,’ but not feeling this caption,” someone else chimed in.

Beyoncé Playfully Poses Behind Jay-Z In Latest Instagram Photo Dump

Beyoncé recently expressed with a not-so-subtle picture that she’s literally behind her husband Jay-Z at all times. Moreover, she just added yet another photo dump on Instagram with the two of them looking sharp and luxurious on a dinner date. Amid oysters, wine glasses, and simple black and beige fits, they showed once again why they’re one of the richest pop culture couples in both wealth and in spirit. While Hov posed with a poker face for the camera, the singer popped her head out from behind him with a smile. As she continues her incredibly hyped RENAISSANCE tour, at least she’s having fun off the stage as well.

Of course, it’s a lavish post for a lavish duo, who recently made headlines for their insane homeowner moves. Furthermore, Beyoncé and Jay-Z recently bought the most expensive home in all of Malibu- and the second-most expensive real estate property in the country, for that matter. What’s more is that they’re not even selling their $88 million Bel-Air crib to make up for it. Then again, is this really all that surprising from one of today’s most high-profile partners?

Jay-Z & Beyoncé Keep Embodying Couple Goals

Still, they remain most well-known and praised for their cultural contributions, whether it’s their music or other areas. For Beyoncé, that recently manifested in a big way alongside occasional collaborator and fellow star Kendrick Lamar. They teamed up for a remix of the 41-year-old’s RENAISSANCE track “AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM.” While the track made a big splash and was a welcome treat from two legends, it was able to do so by balancing the social themes the title implies and a pop sensibility. If anyone would pull it off, it would be the two most renowned champions in those fields.

Meanwhile, the New York rap mogul had a similarly surprising but welcome new remix release of his own with an “Empire State Of Mind” reimagining with Gil Scott-Heron. Sure, the lyrics might be the same, but the distinct percussive and melodic additions give the opulent original a grounded groove. Overall, it’s a different take on a classic that re-contextualizes its subject matter. Their work continues to be just as relevant as their hype, and remains impactful no matter what they’re up to in their private lives. For more news and updates on Beyoncé and Jay-Z, stay posted on HNHH.

Beyoncé & Jay-Z Make A Beautiful Couple In New London Photo Dump On IG

Jay-Z has been in the headlines a lot lately due to an ongoing alleged paternity scandal. Regardless of the rumours floating around him, the father of three seems unbothered as he accompanies his wife, Beyoncé, on her RENAISSANCE World Tour. The pair have been spotted out and about throughout Europe over the past few weeks, and on Friday (May 19), her Instagram feed lit up with a new photo dump from what appears to be their latest date night.

Bey looked as “Flawless” as ever in a black and silver dress, her bark blonde hair worn in glamorous curls perfectly framing her face. Hov kept it cool in all black with fresh white sneakers on his feet as he posed for photos with his wife in a hallway and on their way to their next destination. The post comes just hours after it was announced that Jay-Z and Queen B made California history by purchasing the most expensive home in the state for an astounding $200 million.

Beyoncé and Her Beau Hit the Town

In the comment section of Beyoncé’s IG upload, we couldn’t help but notice a “😍” reply from Ice Spice, who’s obviously a fan of the vocalist. Now that she’s got a collaboration with Nicki Minaj under her belt, there’s no telling who the New Yorker could work with next – rumour has it she’s even been in the studio with Taylor Swift following their meeting at the iHeartRadio Awards. As for the Houston native, she surprised fans in the midst of her tour by dropping a collaboration with Kendrick Lamar last night.

After previously giving us a reimagined take on RENAISSANCE‘s “CUFF IT,” she returned with an update on “AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM,” which the internet is obviously already loving, though some wish Beyoncé included TDE superstar Doechii on the track as well. Check out the new remix featuring K-Dot at the link below. For more pop culture and music news updates, tap back in with HNHH later this weekend.

Chlöe Bailey Gives Us Several “Casual Slays” In Fashion-Forward IG Photo Dump

We’re not even halfway through 2023 yet, but already, Atlanta-born vocalist Chlöe Bailey is in the midst of the biggest year of her career so far. She had all eyes on her beginning on January 1, unleashing a golden goddess thirst trap that still takes up space in our heads rent-free. In the months following that she delivered her debut solo album, In Pieces, connecting with collaborators Chris Brown, Missy Elliott, and Future across 14 tracks.

To accompany that project (which came with surprisingly low first-week sales numbers), Bailey headed out on tour across North America. She wrapped things up earlier this month with a grand finale in California, where friends and fans happily cheered her on. Aside from incredible performances, the Praise This actress also served up a series of stunning outfits during her time on stage, many of which were documented on social media over the past month. Thankfully, now that she’s back at home and no longer in costume, Chlöe has only continued to please fans with her looks.

Chlöe Serves Up a “Casual Slay” to Start the Week

On Monday (May 15), the beauty queen began our week with a bang, lighting up Instagram with yet another stylish photo dump. “Casual slay 💋,” the 24-year-old wrote in her caption, kicking things off with an incredibly unique take on a Canadian tuxedo. Rather than wear jeans and a denim shirt, Bailey opted to pair a strapless mini dress made of blue jean material with a distressed jacket and thigh-high leg warmers of the same material.

Other snapshots see the “Surprise” songstress sultrily posing in a pretty purple dress, as well as the same cleavage-clad selfie she shared on Twitter this weekend, taken at the Laker’s latest NBA game. Later in the carousel, the multi-talent showed off her strutting skills in a skin-tight black dress and gave us a glimpse at her famous backside in a pair of fishnet tights.

Avril Lavigne’s Latest Instagram Photo Dump Shows Off Her G-String & PDA With Tyga

At the start of 2023, Avril Lavigne was under the impression that she’d be walking down the aisle with Mod Sun waiting at the end as her groom. Now, she’s rocking an $80,000 chain which recently came her way as a gift from Tyga. The Canadian was getting up close and personal with him shortly before the end of her engagement became public knowledge. We previously saw the pair take over Paris Fashion Week back in February, and now, the “Rack City” hitmaker continues to make regular appearances in Lavigne’s Instagram photo dumps.

On Thursday (May 11), the blonde beauty’s feed lit up with yet another carousel, this one kicking off with a selfie showing off her flashy jewelry. “Lyfe Lately 🖤🧡,” the 38-year-old wrote in her caption, keeping things going with a cheeky photo of her booty in a black g-string in the second slot. Afterward comes some outdoor action from the singer, as well as a sweet photo of her and Tyga sharing a passionate embrace on stage in an empty auditorium.

Avril Lavigne Shows Fans Her “Lyfe Lately”

Following that comes further evidence of Lavigne’s punk princess persona via her flipping off the camera, wearing distressed tights, and shooting smoke out at her audience from on stage. At this point, the “Girlfriend” hitmaker has said little publicly about her relationship with Tyga, though their increasing frequency in each other’s lives speaks for itself. Avril appears to be feeling herself and is obviously having plenty of fun in her photo dump, which seems to only attract more haters her way.

“Does she need to act dirty to be professionally recognized?” one of them asked in her comments after catching sight of the blonde beauty’s thirst trap. “That’s sad. Authenticity is lost.” Thankfully, positive responses like “Saw you last night and it made my life honestly!! Your music saved me 15 years ago 😍😍,” surely outweigh the negativity. Check out Avril Lavigne’s latest IG post above, and tell us your thoughts on her chain from Tyga in the comments.

Megan Thee Stallion Shows Off Several Fire Fits In Fun New Instagram Photo Dump

Thee Hotties were nothing short of enthusiastic when Megan Thee Stallion made her Met Gala debut back in 2021. The following year, the Houston native also stepped out for the annual star-studded event, looking as radiant as ever in a glowing, golden gown. Seeing as she’s been consistently spotted at major events, and officially made her return to the stage over the past few months, many thought we’d see her at 2023’s party. Unfortunately for fans, like Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé, Megan opted out of attending – but that doesn’t mean she didn’t still serve up some looks on social media.

On Tuesday (May 2) afternoon, Thee Stallion’s feed lit up with a photo dump showing off her toned, thick body in a selection of stylish looks. To start, we see the Houston native in a black look that’s perfect for vacation, completely baring her midsection thanks to a massive cutout in the middle. Following that, she proved her versatility in a multi-coloured curve-hugging dress, this one with a flirtatious slit running straight up the middle of her inner thigh.

Megan Thee Stallion’s Wardrobe is Unmatched

The “Cash Shit” rapper’s brunette afro looks stunning in all of the images, but especially the third in which she teases plenty of cleavage in a sparkly silver dress. Elsewhere, we see her confidently snapping selfies wearing brands like Diesel and Gucci, letting her body-ody-ody do the talking instead of writing a caption. In the latter half of her carousel, Thee Stallion showed off her makeup skills with a pretty pastel beat in time for spring, as well as a bare face card to prove she doesn’t need cosmetics to look good.

Accessories are obviously important to the 28-year-old too, as she showed us with her quilted Chanel bag and flashy collection of ice stacked on her left wrist and fingers. After a long day of shopping, she posed alongside bags from stores like Chanel, Valentino, and Saint Laurent, before stepping out for dinner with a friend. Which of Megan Thee Stallion’s outfits from the IG post above is your favourite? Let us know in the comments, and tap back in later for more pop culture news updates.
