Playboi Carti Name-Drops Ice Spice (Much To Her Approval) In His Surprise Travis Scott Collab ‘Backr00ms’

by

To kick off the new year, Playboi Carti and Travis Scott dropped a new collaboration titled “Backr00ms.” Scott helped announce the song yesterday, with a video shared on his Instagram. In it, an artist named Blackhaine (according to Rolling Stone) shared, “New music. Carti. Travis Scott. Dropping [bleep] today,” as a giant Parental Advisory sticker covered his face.

The song’s relatively surprise drop also came with a music video, where Carti is spending his money on a dancer, and the two rappers are seen performing throughout.

“In the middle of the field, throw me a bomb, I’m throwin’ that bih like a quarterback,” the chorus goes, via Genius. “Standin’ in the field, holdin’ a bomb, throwin’ that ho like a quarterback / Stood in the field, hold me a bomb, throwin’ that ho like a quarterback.”

However, there’s also another eye-catching aspect. During the track, Carti name-drops Ice Spice at the end of his first verse. “B*tch tryna sneak pictures, I don’t give a f*ck ’bout much / I think I need me a Ice Spice, yeah, I want me a munch,” he raps.

She later took to X (formerly Twitter) to indicate her approval of the reference:

This marks Carti’s follow-up to a recent “2024” song, as fans suspect he is gearing up to drop a new album.

Playboi Carti ushered in New Year’s Eve with new music, dropping off the video for “BACKR00MS” featuring Travis Scott.

In the video, footage from what appears to be an office building shows Carti with a beautiful woman as he counts up before hitting a garage for his super-sized ride. The star rapper appears in all black, accented by numerous diamonds.

One of the key bars is, “I think I need me an Ice Spice, yeah I want me a Munch.” And Ice Spice definitely heard it.

Kanye West Reposts Playboi Carti Single Announcement, Sparks Fan Speculation

by

Earlier today, Playboi Carti announced a new single. He’s been dropping tracks on YouTube for a few weeks now but it seems like he’s gearing up to release his first official new song in years. Not only is he returning with a new track, but he also confirmed that it features Travis Scott. The pair have collaborated twice before already. Scott contributed a verse to the song “Love Hurts” from Carti’s 2018 album Die Lit. They teamed up again earlier this year for the hit song “FEIN!” from Travis Scott’s new album UTOPIA.

But the new single could feature yet another major collaborator. Kanye West uses his social media pretty sparingly these days but he took to his Instagram story earlier today. He did so in order to share Carti’s new single announcement, indicating he may have also had something to do with the song. Many fans speculated right away that he may have played a role on the production end of the song. That guess makes sense as West contributed production work to one of the songs Carti dropped on YouTube last month. Check out West’s repost of the announcement below.

Kanye West Shares Playboi Carti Announcement

In other Kanye West news, it was reported last year that he’s selling his $53 million Malibu mansion. The house is famously designed by architect Tadao Ando, but was stripped of many of its essential facets since West purchased it. Now an insider has revealed some of the reasons West is choosing to sell the sparse living space.

“Unfortunately, the concrete settled into more of a cadet gray and he was hoping for a warmer tone, more of dovetail gray or coachman’s cape. Ye would only visit the house at sunrise and sunset when he said the color didn’t irritate him so much. Eventually, he stopped going altogether,” the insider revealed. What do you think of Kanye West resharing Playboi Carti’s new song announcement? Do you think West did production work on the track? Let us know in the comment section below.

Playboi Carti & Travis Scott Dropping New Music Tonight

by

Playboi Carti’s Music is almost here, with an early January drop in the cards and various singles coming out on non-streaming social media platforms. Moreover, it seems like he didn’t want to waste any time in 2024, and is acting quite fast to get fans even more excited. To do so, the Atlanta native tapped one of the biggest artists working today, someone with whom he crafted one of the biggest songs of 2023. The “FE!N,” “Love Hurts,” and “Green & Purple” duo is back, as he and Travis Scott are apparently dropping new music tonight (Monday, January 1) at 9:30PM (time zone unclear). In a clip used to announce this, presumably one of the Whole Lotta Red stars onstage goons shouts out the good news.

Furthermore, this falls in line with previous hints of new music coming very soon from Playboi Carti’s producer, F1lthy. It seems like this confirms that was the case, even if the timeline that he set out wasn’t exactly how things ended up panning out. Still, there’s a lot of excitement for the rage pioneer to come through with another defining body of work, and it’s unclear what styles or sounds he will champion on this. Teases like “UR THE MOON,” “2024,” and “H00DBYAIR” sound less rage-heavy and more ethereal or rooted in typical trap.

Travis Scott & Playboi Carti Are Dropping Tonight

Of course, this isn’t all that’s contributing to this album cycle; after all, even Playboi Carti has to play the extracurricular game. In this case, it relates to relationship rumors, which are a bit concerning given his history with romantic trouble and alleged abuse and neglect in the past. Regardless, when the 28-year-old and Camila Cabello were spotted on a FaceTime call, people still went straight to the rumor mill to speculate. It’s certainly a very different headline that we’re not used to seeing with his rollouts.

Meanwhile, the “King Vamp” MC’s ex, Iggy Azalea, recently accused him of being an absent father again after he posted a clip of him with their son Onyx. A lot of drama surfaced around this in 2023, and hopefully 2024 brings better news regarding it. But what fans know for sure is that this year is finally going to end the drought for new Playboi Carti. For more news on him and the latest updates on Travis Scott, keep checking in with HNHH.

Playboi Carti Dropping New Music Very Soon, Producer F1lthy Seemingly Confirms

by

Whether it’s for new music drops or his close association with other celebrities, Playboi Carti is drumming up a whole lot of noise right now. Moreover, fans couldn’t be more excited for his new album, which is presumably titled Music and will come out in early 2024. Some fans hope it’s a January release date, and while all signs point to there right now, we never know for sure with the Atlanta rage pioneer. However, one of his most acclaimed producers over the past few years just suggested on social media that the wait won’t be much longer. Well, at least for something new; maybe it’ll just be a single coming in the next few hours, it seems.

Furthermore, F1lthy took to Twitter recently to answer stylist Mitch Modes’ inquiry about a rumor they heard: that a new Playboi Carti track titled “Baby Boi” is dropping today (December 31). As of writing this article, nothing’s come up yet, but the producer still added fuel to the fire. “I heard that too !!!” he responded to Modes’ rumor. In addition, it’s unclear whether this would be another social media-only drop like “H00DBYAIR” or if it will officially become available on streaming services. Either way, we’re sure fans will spin it endlessly.

However, there’s also some alleged beef brewing in the world of Playboi Carti. Recently, he shared a screenshot of an old Young Thug tweet that reads “Boy slow down dropping all that BS music.” Some fans assumed this could be a shot at Lil Uzi Vert, who had released the new track “Red Moon” a day prior. Still, there’s a lot of people that the “OnThatTime” artist could’ve dug at with this reference, and there’s no use in speculating.

Meanwhile, there’s some legitimate beef in the form of his mention of Benji Blue Bills on a recent cut, which got him quite heated. Benji released a video “reacting” to the supposed “diss,” which many fans thought looked staged or at the very least exaggerated. Regardless, we’re sure that Music will hold a lot more curious lyrical content that will send folks into wild theories and narratives. On that note, stay posted on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Playboi Carti.

Are Playboi Carti & Camila Cabello Dating?

Music fans love to speculate about artists’ relationships for some reason, and the latest dating rumor to arise has involved two truly unlikely candidates for pairing in rapper Playboi Carti and pop singer Camila Cabello. Of course, they have contributed their part to fueling these rumors, according to HipHopDX. Earlier this month, Carti posted a photo of himself and Cabello in the studio with the caption “Baby girl,” then posted another yesterday (Tuesday, December 26) of a screenshot she sent him while they were on a FaceTime call.

Fans have, of course, run away with a narrative, expressing amazement at the apparently dramatic shift in Cabello’s associations (she was previously linked to Shawn Mendes). However, they could just be working on a collaboration, as the singer has shown a fondness for looping in popular, unconventional rappers to spice up her pop hits in the past. A prime example would be her 2017 single “Havana,” which featured Young Thug (which apparently only happened because Gunna’s manager turned down the original collab request). Earlier this month, fans also speculated that she could be dating Drake after they spent time together on a boat.

Carti, of course, has been linked to some eyebrow-raising celebrities, himself. He shares a son with Australian rapper Iggy Azalea — which Iggy insinuates isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

Lil Yachty Bumps “Whole Lotta Red” At The Dinner Table In Resurfaced Video

by

For many rap fans, the most memorable part of Christmas day 2020 had nothing to do with the holiday celebrations. That was the date Playboi Carti surprise released his album Whole Lotta Red. The project arrived with no announcement ahead of time and no pre-release singles. For the rapper’s most die-hard fans some of the holiday festivities had to be put on hold so they could listen to his highly-anticipated new album. But in Lil Yachty’s case, he just let the album soundtrack his holiday affair.

In a new video shared by DJ Akademiks, Yachty is at the dinner table eating a meal with his family on Christmas morning. But just like many other Carti fans at the time, he’s bumping Whole Lotta Red while doing it. The hilarious video sees the rapper trying to get his family to vibe along with the music, though it doesn’t exactly work. “Bro was just trying to eat,” one of the top comments jokes in reference to his families lukewarm reaction. Check out the hilarious clip below.

Lil Yachty Bumps “Whole Lotta Red” On Christmas

Recently, Lil Yachty has done some reflecting on his time being signed to the Quality Control label. In an interview earlier this month he reflected on the competitive environment surrounding the label when he first joined. In particular he noted how competitive he felt with Migos, citing Quavo as being specifically skeptical of Yachty when he first arrived.

During a separate conversation, label founder Coach K shared some details on the label’s early days with Yachty. He revealed that it took years of work before the label was ever turning a profit. It was a surprising revelation for fans as the label is now synonymous with success for artists coming out of Atlanta. What do you think of Lil Yachty making his family members listen to Whole Lotta Red on Christmas? Did you spend Christmas Day 2020 listening to the album as well? Let us know in the comment section below.

Travis Scott Reveals Why He Played “FE!N” 10 Times In A Row At Recent Show

by

Earlier this year Travis Scott released his highly-anticipated and feature-packed new album UTOPIA. The album has spawned some big hits like “I KNOW ?” and “MELTDOWN” with Drake and spent multiple weeks at the top spot on the Billboard 200. Unsurprisingly, Travis turned around pretty quickly to take the album on an absolutely massive tour. The CIRCUS MAXIMUS tour took off earlier this year and has stunned audiences in numerous stadiums across North America.

In particular, Travis Scott delivered a major performance at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center earlier this week. In the immediate aftermath of the show one particular story caught on. That surrounded one particular moment when a moving piece of stage decor bumped into Travis, knocking him down to a lower point on the stage. The moment was nearly a disaster though he thankfully avoided any kind of injury and was able to continue performing. But when he sat down with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show he discussed an entirely different element of the Brooklyn show.

Travis Scott On Jimmy Fallon

During his concert in Brooklyn, Travis Scott performed his Playboi Carti-featuring hit “FE!N” 10 times. When he sat down with Fallon a few days later he explained why he chose to do it. “Man, I have 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,” Scott explains. He promised a similarly exciting show up next when he will hit up another legendary NY venue. “Tonight I plan on going even crazier at Madison Square Garden.”

Scott also narrowly avoided injury while sitting courtside at a recent Knicks game. He had a loose ball fly in his direction that thankfully avoided hitting him, but instead spilled a significant portion of his drink. What do you think of Travis Scott performing “FE!N” 10 times in a row during a recent show in Brooklyn? Do you think you would vibe with the song being performed so many times consecutively? Let us know in the comment section below.

God Isn’t Supposed To Play Favorites, But God Texted Playboi Carti ‘You’re The Best Of All Time’

by

Last Christmas, Playboi Carti ended his social media hiatus to vaguely write two things on X (formerly Twitter): “Hello Twitter” and “love all my supporters it’s time.” Understandably, fans took this as the beginning of a musical rollout, but Carti made them wait another year. Last week, he dropped his single “2024,” and on Tuesday, December 19, he surprise-dropped another song, “H00DByAir,” alongside a video in the form of an Instagram Reel posted by Opium.

Carti remained active on Instagram over the last 24 hours, re-sharing praise for “H00DByAir” to his Instagram Story, including this post by Schoolboy Q and screenshots of texts from, um, unlikely sources.

“Yooo on the flight bumping this sh*t!!!” someone saved under the contact name “Sex” texted Carti. “Congrats dear, f*ck yeah it’s so so good!!!” That was followed by a screenshot from God — or, a contact saved as “God” — texting, “Biggest in the world. You’re the best of all time. The greatest.”

Perhaps the main focus should be what all of this activity says about when Carti will finally drop his first album since 2020’s Whole Lotta Red — widely believed to be titled I Am Music based upon Carti’s Instagram profile picture as well as his usage of the #IAmMusic hashtag — but I am way more interested in finding out who “God” and “Sex” are.

It should also be noted that Carti posted “YVES” in the same lettering as his “I AM MUSIC” profile picture. Complex chalked up that as Carti clarifying the spelling of his newborn daughter’s name, which was initially assumed to be “Eve.” When “H00DByAir” dropped on Tuesday night, December 19, many people noticed that Carti announced his newest child toward the end of the song with the lyrics, “I was 24 when I had lil’ Onyx / Then I had a daughter, I had a daughter too / 27 when I had Yves / Now I can finally sleep.”
