Adin Ross Says Playboi Carti Stream Sequel Probably Won’t Happen

by

This just in: in a shocking turn of events, Playboi Carti seemingly chose to not follow up on a teased promise and has left fans waiting. Jokes aside, he shares responsibility for this disappointment this time around, because Adin Ross heavily hyped up a second livestream with the rapper despite fans’ skepticism. Folks likely remember that the first one, filmed for about ten minutes after one of Ye and Ty Dolla $ign’s Vultures listening events, ended in the Opium boss leaving abruptly and allegedly scamming the streamer out of $2 million with his shorter-than-expected appearance. Now, though, it seems like Ross finally accepted defeat and conceded that, despite his efforts, part two will probably not happen anytime soon.

“I don’t think Carti 2 is happening anymore,” Adin Ross said during his recent livestream this weekend. “I have a theory that Carti was just texting me to kind of just, like, keep me, like, in a position where, like, I’m not going be on his bad side, like, where I’m on the Internet talking cr*zy, if that makes sense. To get, like, the heat off his name type s**t. I think I got played.

“But aye, bro, it is what it is,” Adin Ross continued. “‘Cause I was texting his phone, and he stopped answering me out of nowhere. Yeah, I have the footage, I have the warehouse footage. I’m about to just release it. I mean, once I get a confirmation that we’re not doing part two. Is that blackmail? I mean, dude, I kinda got scammed, so I mean, I’m blackmailing a f***ing scam. So you can’t blame me.”

Meanwhile, Ross actually dealt with some other contentious situations with rappers recently. However, in this instance, he was the one to mostly ignore the other side, although definitely not to the degree of “King Vamp.” YBN Nahmir wants to box the Kick affiliate, and he called the “Rubbin Off The Paint” spitter irrelevant and not worth his time, money, or attention. But his response already opened the floodgates for people to advocate for it for whatever reason. To find out if it ever manifests, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Playboi Carti and Adin Ross.

Drake Shares Throwback Pictures On Instagram, Calls Playboi Carti’s Filter Racist

by

Drake is no stranger to reminiscing. In fact, the rapper is often fond of looking back on his early days before becoming one of the biggest musical artists in the entire world. That was the case on a recent Instagram post where he shared a photo dump of old photos from earlier in his career. “How?????” he captioned the post, seemingly unable to believe just how far he’s come. One of the pictures included in the post is of a younger Drizzy posing with Common. Check out all the old photos he shared below.

Vintage Drake Photos

In a much weirder online moment, Drake used Playboi Carti’s Instagram filter and it didn’t go as planned. In the clip he’s able to use it on himself no problem but when he tries to point the camera at anyone with a darker complexion, it won’t recognize them. “Unusually bias Carti filter that detects light skins wtf kind of t3(hnol0gy is this?!??” the caption of the post reads. In the comments, fans try to point out that it has more to do with the darkness of the room he’s in than the filter itself. It’s hard to tell exactly how serious Drake is in his accusation though. Check out the full video of him using Carti’s filter below.

Drake Trying Out Playboi Carti’s Filter

Drizzy is currently on the second leg of his “Its All A Blur” tour with J. Cole and Lil Durk. He just released a new album For All The Dogs and a new EP Scary Hours 3 last year. Following the releases he claimed that he would be taking a hiatus from releasing new music, but doesn’t seem to be sticking to that. He’s been teasing new material coming soon while on tour.

What do you think of the throwback pics Drake shared giving a peek at his past before becoming a musical superstar? What about his accusations after trying out Playboi Carti’s Instagram filter, calling it racist? Let us know in the comment section below.

Playboi Carti’s New Mask For “VULTURES 1” Paris Listening Party Draws Slipknot Comparisons

by

One of the odd things about the rollout for Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s VULTURES rollout has been the theme of wearing masks. Ye is the one leading the charge in all of this as he was first spotted wearing an all-black cover. It featured a see-through area for his eyes and it must have been fairly breathable because of how often he wore it in public. Then, he went full Jason Voorhees with the famous white hockey mask. Playboi Carti is now doing the same as he was seen wearing a mask resembling the iconic heavy metal band Slipknot.

This extravagant piece was worn for the latest VULTURES 1 listening party in Paris this past weekend. Chris Fehn was the member of the band who popularized the “Pinocchio nose” headgear. He is now a former bandmate, but his iconic look still lives on. Plenty of those comparisons were made in the video below as Playboi Carti went with a black leather look compared to Fehn’s silver one.

Some fans respected the choice, while others made the obvious but still funny jokes to the fictional character. However, a few people were a little annoyed with Carti trying to be something he is not. “Bro thinks his genre is rock,” “Getting more corny by the day,” were just a few of those type of remarks. One person even went as far as to say that he wore that mask because “he lied ab dropping music too much.” That last one is true though, where is Music!?

What are your thoughts on Playboi Carti’s new mask for the Paris listening party for VULTURES 1? Is this the better face covering, why or why not? Do you think Kanye West inspired him to wear masks for the performances? Is the album still in your rotation and if so what songs? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Playboi Carti and VULTURES. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on around the world of music.

The Weeknd, Madonna, And Playboi Carti Live The Life In Their Lavish ‘Popular’ Video

by

If you were playing any Fortnite Festival last weekend, odds are you had seen The Weeknd, Madonna, and Playboi Carti’s new video for “Popular,” as it debuted exclusively on the platform and was available to watch from February 15 to 18. If you’re not a gamer but would still like to see the clip, though, they’ve given the visual a wider release and it’s available on YouTube as of today, February 22.

It’s a video that shows off the high life, as the three artists find themselves performing and flexing in a gorgeous castle environment.

The tune is a relic from the era of The Idol, The Weeknd’s 2023 HBO show that ultimately kicked the bucket after a short and controversial run. The song was intended for The Idol, but while it was initially shared and promoted in association with the show, it ultimately never ended up on any of the show’s soundtrack releases.

The Weeknd previously said of the song, “I’m proud of it. I’m definitely proud of it. Me and Carti had this… I mean, we’ve jammed out before. We’ve had a different version of this song prior. So I’ve had these vocals for a while and I’ve kind of just worked around it, and then kind of kept it in the tuck. But now it felt like it was time. It was time. And it felt right and it felt cohesive with this album that I’m working on right now. Or that I just actually finished. The Idol soundtrack, yeah. And so I’ve been producing the song for a while. And then Madonna, Madge. She’s the ultimate co-sign for this song, for this album, and for this TV show. And you’ll hear more of her in the show as well, too. She is the ultimate pop star.”

Watch the “Popular” video above.

The Weeknd Drops “Popular” Music Video With Madonna & Playboi Carti: Watch

by

The Weeknd hyped up his HBO show The Idol a lot last year, and while it was by no means perfect, it at least brought us some great music. It’s hard for him to miss in this regard at all, but fans were still shocked when he dropped “Popular” with two very interesting guests as a lead-up to the show. These are rap’s new wave leader Playboi Carti and pop legend Madonna, and fans were bewildered as to how these fusions would come out even if both fit with Abel Tesfaye separately. Regardless of fan expectations, it’s a pop banger, and just a couple of days after its premiere on Fortnite, we now have the official music video for the song on YouTube.

Of course, it’s a very lavish visual treatment that matches well with the shiny cleanliness and pristine production on “Popular.” The Weeknd, Madonna, and Playboi Carti all appear individually at a grand mansion, a high-rise apartment, and a luxury car, respectively. It’s all very clear, crisp, and although simple, it does definitely invoke the aesthetics and mood of the record itself, so it’s a big success in our book. We would’ve loved to have seen the artists interact, though, as XO and Opium have a very strong relationship. Also, it’s wild to think about how the Queen of Pop and King Vamp would match stylistically, both in terms of fashion and general artistry.

Still, this is adding to a heck of a victory lap run for the 34-year-old right now, one that will probably turn into a full album rollout very soon. He recently broke some more Spotify records and teases his next effort in a vague way. Everyone’s looking forward to see how the Canadian superstar wraps up his current trilogy, and his stage moniker as a whole, it seems. But don’t fear: just because he won’t go by The Weeknd anymore doesn’t mean that he won’t stay in the industry as a creative making great art.

Meanwhile, what did you think of this new “Popular” music video? Considering rumors about an upcoming project, are you looking forward to the “Alone Again” artist making new strides in film as a co-writer? Whatever the case may be, drop your thoughts in the comments section down below. Also, stay up to date on HNHH for the latest news and updates on The Weeknd, Madonna, and Playboi Carti.

Last June, The Weeknd had a big moment, linking up with Madonna (and Playboi Carti) on The Idol soundtrack cut “Popular.” The song now has an official video, but you’ll need to head into the world of Fortnite to watch it.

How To Watch The Weeknd, Madonna, And Playboi Carti’s “Popular” Video In Fortnite Festival

The video made its exclusive debut on Fortnite Festival on February 15 at 7 p.m. ET, and is set to play repeatedly until February 18 at 7 p.m. ET. To watch, it’s simple: log into Fortnite on your preferred platform (PlayStation, Switch, PC, etc.) and find the Discover screen. Then, enter the Festival Jam Stage, and there, there will be a dedicated viewing area, featuring a giant screen showing the video. The video is currently not officially available on any other platform, so find more details here.

So I’ve had these vocals for a while and I’ve kind of just worked around it, and then kind of kept it in the tuck. But now it felt like it was time. It was time.

Adin Ross Teases Playboi Carti Reunion Stream… Again

by

Adin Ross has had a streak of bad luck as of late when it comes to his Kick livestreams with rappers, one that might see brighter days ahead. Moreover, the most notable of these recent instances is his contentious and frankly tough to watch gambling stream with 21 Savage. In it, the rapper apparently played with marked cards, which Ross noticed halfway through and led to an awkward moment where 21 questioned how this happened in the first place. Since then, apparently everything’s resolved and they were able to even their mismatched bets, but the Florida native faces some other challenges for his platform.

Furthermore, Playboi Carti agreed to stream with him after the Grammys, but only showed up for ten minutes due to alleged discrepancies over payment. It was a pretty disappointing moment not just for Adin Ross fans, but for vamps who were looking forward to a more fleshed-out media appearance from their king. Alas, he mostly just stood around in the dark, and we honestly don’t know what else fans might’ve expected from it. Overall, it caused a lot of clowning online for both parties, and it puts into question what their true motives, expectations, and goals are with this link-up.

Adin Ross Teases Playboi Carti Stream Part Two: Watch

However, Adin Ross returned to stream this week, and once again teased that a part two to the Playboi Carti collaboration would come soon. “Carti part two, me and Carti texted that,” he claimed to his viewers. “Guys, Ye is doing a bunch of events right now. I’m pretty sure after the album comes out and stuff -– ’cause Carti obviously has to attend to that s**t, right? I’m pretty sure. A bunch of artists are gonna probably go to his event. So y’all gotta understand, after that, Carti part two. He texted me today. I was like, ‘Yo, bro, we gotta make this s**t right for the vamps, for my community, for everyone, the world.’ He’s like, ‘It’s all love, bro, I swear. Let’s do it, let’s lock in.’ He’s texting back and telling me he wants to do it and run it.

Extended Remarks

“I’m following up with Carti every day,” he added. “So if it doesn’t happen, it’s not gonna fall on me, it’s gonna fall on Carti. I’m following up with him every single day. To make sure that it doesn’t go back on me, yeah, I’m gonna be releasing all the proof. I don’t want the vamps against the AR loyals, we’re already like this! *crosses fingers* I follow up with him every day, every f***ing day. No, I’m trying to give the fans what they want, bro. Carti’s fans what they want. I got a list of questions I’m gonna ask him and everything.” For more on Playboi Carti and Adin Ross, stay logged into HNHH.

Joe Budden Was Disgusted By Travis Scott And Playboi Carti’s 2024 Grammys Performance: ‘Get The F*ck Off The Stage’

by
Travis Scott Grammys 2024

Travis Scott’s Utopia — Circus Maximus Tour recently wrapped after months of generating headlines, including the fact that he performed “FE!N” 10 times in a row. Scott explained during a December appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that he chose to repeatedly run through the song because “I have, like, the best fans in the world, and I go off the energy they give me, and they were wild that night, and so I just got even wilder.”

Meanwhile, Joe Budden hates it.

Scott performed “FE!N” with Playboi Carti, the featured artist on the Utopia track, during the 2024 Grammys last Sunday, February 4, and Budden was less than impressed.

“What the f*ck is Travis and his man doing up here?” Budden said in a clip making the rounds on X (formerly Twitter). “You two bozos, get the f*ck off the stage when n****s got beautiful women and tuxedos on, honestly. You up there smashing sh*t.”

Budden added, “All that sh*t look different when it ain’t a thousand little white kids jumping up and down. Ay, when there are grown people here, all that, ‘Fein! Fein! Fein!’ That’s what you wanted to win over Killer Mike?” (Scott’s Utopia was nominated for Best Rap Album, which Killer Mike won for Michael.)

Budden called Scott “stupid” before continuing to mockingly imitate Scott’s performance. And just when you think it couldn’t get any more brutal, Budden brought Carti into the criticism.

“And then you bring your man out,” he said. “This is how I knew I was in the f*cking matrix. You bring your man out, Playboi Carti, the crowd just stares silent. Playboi Carti looked confused. Like, ‘Y’all don’t know who I am?’ No, n***a! You got a f*cking mask on! Who the f*ck are you under there? You are not at South By Southwest [SXSW] anymore. We can’t recognize you bozos by the stocking mask you’re wearing. I hate these n****s, man. All of ’em!”

But it wasn’t all hate. Budden added, “I love that song, but not when the tuxedos are out. Take that sh*t to the dirty Coachella grass, n****.”

Playboi Carti’s New Album ‘Music’: Here Are All The New Updates To Know Including The Release Date, Tracklist & More Info

by

Playboi Carti fans have been seriously waiting to hear what he has in store, given the rapper has been teasing a Music album. This would follow his last record, Whole Lotta Red, which dropped back in 2020 — nearly four years ago now.

Here’s what fans should know, including any new updates, about Carti’s new album.

Release Date

Playboi Carti’s Music does not have a confirmed release date. The closest confirmation came from DJ Akademiks last month, where he said it would drop in January — giving only a few more days if Carti has a surprise drop in store.

Tracklist

The tracklist for the album has yet to be announced.

Singles

Playboi Carti previously dropped a few songs, including “2024,” “Different Day,” “H00dByAir,” and his Travis Scott collaboration, “Backr00ms.” However, these were released exclusively on YouTube, and it’s still unclear if they will make the tracklist for Music.

Features

Outside of the previously-mentioned Travis Scott feature on “Backr00ms,” which may or may not be on the album, no other actual features for Music have been confirmed.

Artwork

Right now, the artwork for music is still TBA.

Tour

Playboi Carti is scheduled to play a handful of shows across North America next month, according to Ticketmaster, but a full tour for Music has not been announced — and the previous Antagonist Tour dates have been delayed.

Kanye West’s Dentist Shuts Down Rumors Of The Rapper Having His Teeth Removed

by

Earlier this week, an Instagram post made by Playboi Carti set off a firestorm of rumors online. The picture was a trio of texts between him and Kanye West that focuses on some new mouth jewelry West was sporting. He shared a picture of a shiny new grill which prominently displays a pair of fangs. Because very little explanation was given, fans jumped to all kinds of conclusions about the new look. One of which was that West had for some reason had all his teeth removed and replaced with the new grill. The rumor was tweeted by numerous high-profile fan accounts for the rapper but as of today, it’s been debunked.

That news came directly from the dentist who worked on the expensive new piece. The fangs are reportedly made of titanium and West reportedly spent a staggering $850k on them. “Ye was a pleasure to work with every step of the process,” Dr. Thomas Connelly who worked on the new mouthpiece said in a statement. “His vision for designing unique art transcends the dental progression. The marriage of his vision with dental science has created a new look that is epic.” It’s unclear what specifically led West to the new piece, but now fans know that it wasn’t inserted in place of his teeth, simply over top of them.

Kanye West Didn’t Have His Teeth Removed

Kanye West fans are highly anticipating the rapper’s new album, though it’s unclear when they’re going to get it. West announced a collaborative effort with Ty Dolla $ign called Vultures back in December but it’s yet to be released. An early version of the project was leaked online which may have something to do with its delay.

The album has gone through numerous release dates so far. Most recently it had both of its January release dates wiped and was pushed back to February 9th. What do you think of Kanye West’s new $850k grill which includes fangs? Let us know in the comment section below.
