“Baddies: Midwest” Premiere Ends In Massive Brawl

November 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The new season of Baddies: Midwest premiered on Sunday night and videos from the event show that it ended in a massive brawl. In one clip, attendees were climbing over rows of seating to get involved in the physical confrontation. It’s unclear what prompted the incident nor who exactly was involved.

Videos of the brawl are sparking plenty of backlash on social media. When The Neighborhood Talk uploaded the clip, one user in the comments section wrote: “This is so sick and I hate this for the culture. Please shut it down.” Another added: “I’m sorry, but at some point, we need to have a SERIOUS talk about the effects these shows are having on black girls/women. There’s no enlightening, no charity, no NOTHING. Just excessive drinking, over the top violence and trauma for views.” One more wrote: “Maturing is realizing that Baddies are not Ladies … they give very much childish and embarrassing and to think I thought about auditioning once upon a time.”

The premiere episode of the show itself was loaded with drama. Chrisean Rock accused her sister, Tesehki, of allegedly sexually abusing her when they were children, which sparked a massive argument. “You’re telling me stories I’ve never heard before,” Tesehki said on the verge of tears. “Why would you be in my house if I ever did some weird sh*t to you? This is not making sense bro. It’s not making sense, I’m done. Y’all about to piss me off and when I cry, I punch. I’m done. This is crazy.”

Kai Cenat Explains His Viral Reaction To Hearing Drake On Lil Yachty’s Collaboration

July 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kai Cenat recently reflected on his premiere of Lil Yachty and Drake’s unreleased collaboration, “Super Soak,” during which he was elated about Drake’s verse as soon as the Toronto rapper began performing. Speaking about the drama surrounding his reaction, Cenat explained that he didn’t know Drake was featured on the track beforehand.

“The clip doesn’t explain the full story so dumbass idiots see sh*t and run with it,” he began. “So, when Yachty sent me the track with him and Drake on it, they was coming at Drake and saying that he sent me it to play it. Then on top of that, they was on my ass for the way I was reacting because I was yelling because I didn’t know that Drake was on the track. Word to my mother, Yachty sent it to me live. I asked him live, ‘Can I leak the whole thing?’ He said, ‘Yeah, f*ck it.’ I played it. I didn’t even know Drake was on the track. You know what I could’ve did with that? I could’ve took the unreleased and ran up a million with that motherf*cker bro. That’s why I reacted the way I did.”

When DJ Akademiks posted the explanation on Instagram, fans of Drake accused the haters of being Kendrick Lamar fans. “Cant believe all these grown men love kendrick so much they think the people they watch gotta have the same opinions as them,” one user wrote. Another countered: “Drake stans still bringing up Kendrick when this post has nothing to do with him ……. I’m starting to think that loss caused some of yall to have mental issues.” One more fan commented: “This got nothing to do with Kenny. It’s how he was hyping the song like he liked it so much first listen dancing and sh*t lol. It’s ok to do promo. Homie was just doing to much for it to be ANYBODY song.”

Donald Glover Considers Stand-Up Comedy Return

February 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Donald Glover says he’s considering a return to stand-up comedy following his work on the new show, Mr. & Mrs. Smith. While attending a premiere for the series, he revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that he’s spoken with Bill Burr and Chris Rock about the idea.

“I still write jokes down and I think about it,” he said. “I asked Bill Burr where to go, and I had a list, and I was just like, ‘Is it something that I feel like I need to do right now?’ Maybe it’s just a nice thing that’s there that you can try to do again if you want.” He added: “Oh yeah. Thought about it. Chris Rock had said, like, ‘When are you going to do it again? No one gets really good at it until their 40s, except for Eddie [Murphy].”

He also mentioned going to the Comedy Cellar in New York, but noted he hasn’t performed. Glover performed stand-up comedy much more frequently earlier in his career. Back in 2010, he performed a 30-minute set on the program, Comedy Central Presents. Glover also discussed his plans for releasing new music. “I want to, but I sort of feel the same about music as I do about stand-up right now,” he said. He released his last album, 3.15.20, back in 2020.

Kelly Rowland Labels JAY-Z “One Of The Greatest Men I Know” After Beyonce Speech

February 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kelly Rowland heaped praise on JAY-Z at the premiere of Bob Marley: One Love in Los Angeles on Tuesday, following the rapper’s speech at the Grammy Awards. On stage, JAY used his speech accepting the Dr. Dre Global Impact Award to praise his wife, Beyonce, and question why she hasn’t won Album of the Year.

“Shawn Carter is one of the greatest men I know and his words ring so loud to me,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “I couldn’t be more proud of him. I’m just really happy for a lot of things that he said. I think that he made a lot of artists feel very seen and very heard in those minutes that he took on stage.”

“I feel like she is an icon… and that’s for a reason – it’s because she starts trends,” Rowland said. “She is innovative, her thoughts are big and bright and she just jumps for them and does it. I think that her albums are a reflection of that, and it should be really celebrated in that way. I’m not saying that because it’s my sister, I’m saying it because it’s the truth. I’ve seen the blood, sweat and tears that she puts into these projects, and her thoughts and her heart and her passion and her soul.” Check out her full comments on JAY-Z below.

The Alchemist Premieres New Music With Yasiin Bey, F.K.A. Mos Def, At Los Angeles Show

December 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The Alchemist recently hosted a one-off show along with MIKE and Wiki to perform their new 2023 album, Faith Is A Rock. On Thursday (November 30), he and these two amazing MCs hit the Teragram Ballroom and performed together for the first time. However, one of the most exciting parts of the show happened when Uncle Al previewed new music with the one and only Yasiin Bey, which many of you might know better as Mos Def. In fact, it’s a bit of a left hook: rather than rap through the beat, he decided to take on a more melodic delivery as he muses through his themes. Regardless, it was still a great taste.

Moreover, The Alchemist and Yasiin Bey don’t have much of a collaborative history, which makes this all the more exciting. Still, the former has worked with the latter’s Black Star partner, Talib Kweli, so we can assume that they have a lot to love for each other. That legendary collaboration turned 25 years old this year, which also adds another touching angle to this premiere. Even after all these years, Bey remains one of the most respected, beloved, and influential MCs of all time.

The Alchemist & Yasiin Bey’s New Material: Listen

Of course, this also prompts some speculation– or rather, pipe dreams– about a joint project between him and Uncle Al. After all, the iconic producer is well-known for crafting some of the best collab albums in rap history, and keeps dropping excellent team-ups. Faith Is A Rock is just one example from this year, with another being the impeccably crafted VOIR DIRE with Earl Sweatshirt. With this history in mind, it’s only natural that fans want to see what he can unlock within any other MCs over the course of a full LP.

Meanwhile, the artist formerly known as Mos Def took some time earlier in 2023 to pay respect to some of hip-hop’s titans. Much like how the beatmaker is a pivotal part of so many careers, De La Soul is even more important, and he thanked them for paving the way for him and so many others. All these artists continue to make great strides today, and it’s exciting to see how legends keep growing. On that note, check back in with HNHH for more news and the latest updates on The Alchemist and Yasiin Bey.

Taylor Swift Shouts Out Beyonce For Invitation To “RENAISSANCE” Premiere

December 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

When it comes to superstar musicians across the world, you can’t really get much bigger than Taylor Swift and Beyonce. Both are absolute titans in their fields, and while some have tried to pit them against each other (we’re looking at you, Mr. “I’ma Let You Finish, But”), they continue to praise one another amid their own gargantuan paths. For example, Queen Bey recently invited the Midnights magnate to the London premiere of her RENAISSANCE concert film. Via Twitter, Swift thanked Miss Carter for the experience, and urged all of her fans to go support this movie in theaters.

“Got invited to London by The Queen…” Taylor Swift wrote on the social media platform on Friday (December 1). “RENAISSANCE: A Film by Beyoncé is in theaters now!!” Moreover, this is very notable because Beyonce went to the premiere of her Eras concert film, so it’s only right that the Pennsylvania native would return the favor. In fact, she shared some snaps of the event, too, and the two looked absolutely radiant in them. Maybe in the coming days, we’ll even get some video of their interactions or what other fun times went down at the silver carpet rollout.

Taylor Swift & Beyonce At The RENAISSANCE Film’s London Premiere

Of course, Beyonce’s RENAISSANCE tour motion picture will likely be a wild hit commercially, much like Taylor Swift’s Eras. It’s actually quite bizarre to get two huge music movies in a similar realm come out so close to one another. We guess that the best part about that, other than giving a nice boost for theaters, is that they didn’t come out close enough to each other to trample on the other’s success. Fans can go pretty far, but up until this point, it’s been nice to see the pop star duo show so much respect to one another.

Meanwhile, it’s clear that the Houston creative wanted to really capitalize on all the hype around the RENAISSANCE film. Today, she released a new track “My House,” adding to a lot of praise, engagement, and deservedly inescapable hype around her right now– and always, for that matter. We’ll see if her country counterpart chooses to feed fans in a similar way soon after an already stellar 2023.

Tina Knowles Defends Beyonce’s “Renaissance” Premiere Appearance

November 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Tina Knowles has come to Beyonce’s defense after her daughter attended the Renaissance concert film premiere in a full silver outfit, including platinum hair. The decision sparked backlash on social media from users who claimed she was trying “to be white.” Knowles labeled it a “stupid narrative with hate and jealousy.”

She began on Instagram: “Came across this today and decided to post it after seeing all of the stupid ignorant self, hating racist statements about her, lightening her skin, and wearing platinum hair wanting to be white. She does a film, called the renaissance, where the whole theme is silver with silver hair, a silver carpet, and suggested silver attire and you bozos decide that she’s trying to be a white woman and is bleaching her skin?”

She also called out TMZ for reaching out to Beyonce’s hair stylist for a comment on the story. “I am sick and tired of people attacking her,” Knowles continued. “Every time she does something that she works her ass off for and is a statement of her work ethic, talent and resilience. Here you sad little haters come out the woodwork. Jealousy and racism, sexism, double standards, you perpetuate those things. Instead of celebrating a sister or just ignoring if you don’t like her. I am sick of you losers. I know that she is going to be pissed at me for doing this, but I am fed up ! This girl minds her own business. She helps people whenever she can. She lifts up & promotes black women and underdogs at all times.” Check out the full post below.

Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland looked stunning, whereas OG members LaTavia Roberson and LeToya Luckett also came dressed to impress.The only other name missing- aside Queen Bey herself, who didn’t appear on the “chrome” carpet for the premiere- was Farrah Franklin, and the reason for her absence is publicly unknown.

Regardless, it’s still great to see the R&B icons have a ball together again, and come together for a monumental occasion. In fact, the RENAISSANCE film features some moments dedicated to capturing Destiny’s Child’s reunion at the Houston Homecoming show for the tour. “It was like a new birth for us, and a lot of healing,” Beyonce said in a narration over the footage. Maybe this won’t be the last we’ll hear from these female singers, as 2023 marks the 25th anniversary of the group’s debut album.

Destiny’s Child Reunites At Beyonce’s Concert Film Premiere

After all, Matthew Knowles hinted at a comeback in May of this year. “It’s a decision that the ladies would have to make,” he explained. “And I would certainly, certainly support that decision as I still manage Destiny’s Child. I would love to see that as well. I think the fans will be just overjoyed, overwhelmed. And hopefully they do one last time in their career. Hopefully they give us one last album. Who knows? You never know. You never say it can’t happen. Because this is entertainment. A lot of things can happen.”
