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

by

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.

Cher And AE Edwards Still Rumored To Share “Strong Feelings”

by

At the start of May, music legend Cher “postponed” her wedding to AE Edwards, a music executive 40 years her junior. The couple had been officially dating since November 2022 and became engaged on New Year’s Eve. However, Cher cited the sizeable age gap as the primary reason for calling off the wedding.

However, sources that spoke to various gossip outlets also pointed to a level of skepticism about Edwards’ intentions that was growing within Cher. “Cher’s starting to see Alexander in a different light,” one source told Radar Online. Despite this, things might not be over for the couple. While nothing is confirmed in terms of a reunion, the flames of love may still yet burn.

Feelings Still There As Cher Turns 77

On May 20, Cher turned 77. Furthermore, sources appeared to imply to The Daily Mail that she that her thoughts were still with Edwards. ‘She actually really cares about AE, and now that she’s closer to her kids, she wants more stability in her life,” one person told the British newspaper. Cher has been twice married, most recently to Sonny Bono, who died in 1998. Meanwhile, Edwards has a son with Amber Rose, a model, and ex of Ye. It’s unclear how long Cher and Edwards were dating before going public in November.

However, the current priority appears to be Cher’s birthday celebrations. ‘Her bestie jewelry and candle designer Loree Rodkin has been hoping to arrange a private party with some of Cher’s closest friends, her kids now, her sister Georganne LaPiere and her husband, and various friends she’s had forever.’ Furthermore, Cher is yet to publicly comment on the breakup, with her socials having gone dark in March. Where do you think the couple is headed? Let us know in the comments below. Follow all the latest music and relationship news here on HotNewHipHop.

Tori Brixx Explains Rich The Kid Dancing Video

by

Despite breaking up over his reported infidelity, Tori Brixx and Rich the Kid were seen dancing together at an event on May 18. This came after Rich had apologized for his behavior. ”I’d like to make a public apology to my best friend, my lover and fiancée, for any disrespect, disloyalty or allegations of anything. I’m a grown man I’ve done wrong and I’m owning up and asking for forgiveness from a beautiful strong woman that has taken care of not only me but our family for years… I’m not like these other… I know I’ve been wrong and will fix it love you @toribrixx and I am so sorry.”

The video led fans to speculate as to what was going on with the couple, especially as some of the moves thrown were a little more intimate than one would expect from a recently broken-up couple. However, Brixx took to her Instagram story to set the record straight.

Tori Brixx Shuts Down Speculation

Writing on her Instagram story, Brixx explained her side of the dance video. “Not that I have to explain anything because I don’t give AF but Damn lol,” Brixx began. This was a mixer celebrating our show on Revolt “Black Girl Stuff” and the people behind it. Rich & I were friends first and have a beautiful child together. Every ending don’t need to be toxic. We cool. Love y’all tho. Just make sure y’all watch Revolt #BlackGirlStuff. It’s a platform where we uplift each other.”

And who said exes can’t be friends? Brixx’s explanation is pretty clear – despite what Rich did, the pair are still friends and feel comfortable enough to have fun together. Some fans in the comments appeared unconvinced, stating that this was evidence that the pair were back together. However, until there’s evidence of that, then that’s just the assumptions of people on the internet. Regardless, Brixx has made it very clear where she stands on the situation.

Alicia Keys Soaks Up The Sun In A Colourful Bikini During Mexico Trip With Swizz Beatz

by

Even at age 42, Alicia Keys is still a “Girl On Fire” in our books. The R&B vocalist has had a busy month touring through Latin America, hitting up cities like Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, and Bogota before closing out in Mexico this weekend. Her final performance took place on Friday (May 19) in Guadalajara, but before she hit the stage, Keys made sure to enjoy the beautiful country with her family. Paparazzi cameras caught her soaking up the sun on a yacht in Cabo San Lucas earlier this week, at which time she wore a bright, groovy-printed bathing suit that perfectly hugs her curves and shows off her abs.

As Page Six notes, after jumping off the massive boat, Keys showed off her adventurous side while kayaking through the blue water. Her sons, 12-year-old Egypt and 8-year-old Genesis were also in tow, along with her husband Swizz Beatz. Though she didn’t share any photos from her day in the water on Instagram the app has seen plenty of other looks from the New Yorker as of late, many of which are just as funky as her swimsuit.

Ahead of her final performance last night, her feed lit up yet again with a message for patrons attending the show. “Guadalajara, let’s show them how to close out a tour 🔥🔥🔥. See you TONIGHT!” the mother of two wrote.

Chrisean Rock Says She & God Will Welcome Her Baby Without Blueface: “The Negative Shit Been Behind Me”

by

When Chrisean Rock first announced her pregnancy in January, there was admittedly little faith in the potential for her and Blueface to succeed as co-parents. The “Thotiana” rapper obviously has prior experience thanks to the two children he shares with Jaidyn Alexis. He and his Crazy In Love co-star, on the other hand, agreed to go through with three past abortions before Rock bargained with God to give her another baby, which she promised to keep this time. Over halfway through her journey toward motherhood, the 23-year-old admitted that she’s having some regrets, which seem to mostly stem from the harassment she’s facing at the hands of Blue.

On Friday (May 19) night, Rock took to Twitter to get a few things off her chest, seemingly suggesting that her on-again-off-again partner won’t be a part of their little one’s life. “It’s just Chrisean now, Chrisean and God,” she told followers. “We welcoming this baby soon, but the version [and] vision I have is out of this world, it’s happening as I’m typing. The negative shit been behind me,” she expressed, revealing that there are big things in store for her and her firstborn, with or without Blueface.

Chrisean Rock is On to Better Things

“Going so far away that there’s no invite on my planet,” the Baltimore native added minutes later. In a series of earlier posts, Chrisean also reflected on the refreshing energy she feels circulating in the air, likely due to last night’s new moon in Taurus. “New horizons is a blessing. Remember, the rainbow is promised after every storm,” she wrote, encouraging both herself and her 1.1 million followers.

As for Blueface, his Twitter profile has been lit up with negativity. “I dog bitches out [and] I treat women like women, pick a side,” he declared on Friday. It remains unclear if he was referring to the ongoing drama with Rock, or Claudia Jordan, who he reportedly ghosted after flying her out.

Megan Fox And Machine Gun Kelly Wedding “Remains Halted”

by

The romance between actress Megan Fox and rapper Machine Gun Kelly was been in rough waters for some time now. Despite announcing their engagement in January, the couple has been distant since at least March. An “intense” fight at the Super Bowl led to time apart and cryptic social media posts that appeared to accuse MGK of infidelity.

This led the rapper to attend his birthday party without Fox, causing speculation of an impending breakup to skyrocket. However, the couple made their first public appearance together since the Super Bowl at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue launch party on May 18. Despite this, they did not walk the red carpet together. Now a source close to the situation has shed more light on where the couple stands.

Megan Fox Making MGK “Work For It”

According to a source who spoke with PEOPLE, the couple is reportedly in the midst of reconciling. However, the individual did note that “he’s [MGK] totally in the dog house still.” Continuing, they spoke on what the rapper is doing to win his fiancee back. “He’s doing whatever he can to get her back, and she’s making him work for it. It’s still an unhealthy dynamic though, and their friends just don’t see this lasting.”

The main issue appears to be Fox’s attitude to whatever MGK did to derail the relationship in the first place. “She’s having a hard time trusting him,” the source confided to PEOPLE. However, MGK is persistent. “He has a lot of proving himself to do, and he doesn’t want to give her up. He is great with her kids and super hands on. It’s a work in progress,” Despite this, it remains to be seen if the couple can truly reconcile. After all, trust is like glass – once broken, it is not easily fixed. Do you think they will work through this? Or is the couple destined to go their separate ways? Let us know in the comments.

GloRilla On Marriage: “Couldn’t See Myself F***k With One N***a For Too Long”

by

GloRilla burst onto the scene a little bit over a year ago. It was last year that the rapper released “F.N.F. (Let’s Go).” The song, which was produced by Hitkidd, gained immense popularity on TikTok after its release. As such, this led to the track peaking at No. 42 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The song has now been certified gold by the RIAA and received a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Performance. Iconic rapper Nas even referenced GloRilla and the viral track in his own song. He called her out by name in his album King’s Disease III’s final bonus track titled “Til My Last Breath”. On the track, he raps, “I’m applying pressure, I see why she prеssed / When she with me she GloRilla, FNF.”

Despite its success, the “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” release was not free from drama. GloRilla faced some pretty serious legal problems with the song’s producer. Hitkidd criticized GloRilla on Twitter. He claimed that the Memphis rapper and her team attempted to gain total ownership of the track. “So basically these folks are trying to take me to court over ‘FNF’ because they want to OWN the song,” he wrote. He went on to say that he tried to help GloRilla by giving her advice, but she didn’t listen. “I told you… everyday that we was in LA… that labels are going to try to sign you because of FNF so watch out,” he continued. “I also told you to let me know when labels reach out so we can be on the same page.” Regardless, GloRilla’s life changed for the better after the release. Now, very much in line with the lyrics of “F.N.F. (Let’s Go),” GloRilla is criticizing those who believe in marriage.

GloRilla Is Not A Long-Term Type Of Girl

In a now-deleted tweet, GloRilla criticized people who still believe in marriage. However, before the tweet was deleted, The Shade Room managed to screenshot it, as shown above. “So y’all believe in marriage in this generation?? I just couldn’t myself fw one n*gga for too long,” the rapper said. “N*ggas start n*gga-ing after da first 6 months & baby Ima start n*gga-ing right along with a n*gga.” It’s an interesting take, but it seemed to rub some the wrong way. Many in the comments on The Shade Room’s post disagreed with GloRilla’s sentiment.

“I will get married. I will be HAPPILY married. In love,” said one comment. “Fuck what y’all talkin bout.” Many seemed to agree with the user’s comment, as it has garnered 1,520 likes as of the writing of this article. “Thats because you haven’t been IN LOVE sweetheart,” another user commented. “I used to think the same that I will get tired of being with the same person until I finally fell in love and married my husband.” What do you think of GloRilla’s views on marriage?

Bre Tiesi Reveals Nick Cannon May Not Pay Child Support Due To Abundance Of Offspring

by

It’s been several months since Nick Cannon hit us with yet another baby announcement, which is likely a good thing considering he recently admitted to getting the Mother’s Day cards of his six baby mamas mixed up when delivering them. While he and Abby De La Rosa appear to have a strong relationship thanks to their on-air work together, other co-parents, like LaNisha Cole, have had less pleasurable experiences. Another of Cannon’s partners, Bre Tiesi, also seems to have some beef with the multi-talent, which she markedly expressed on Netflix’s Selling Sunset.

The model was speaking with co-star Amanza Smith during the recently released sixth season of the hit reality series when she revealed that he might not have to pay child support. “The way it works is like, after 10, the court can basically say he can’t afford [it],” Tiesi alleged. However, she did note that because of his mass wealth, the “rule” may not apply to Cannon, much to her benefit. “Because he is who he is, they could say, ‘We know you can afford X amount for each household,” the mother of one dished.

Nick Cannon’s Child Support Comes Up on Selling Sunset

While Tiesi sounded sure in her claims, legal experts in California are disputing her. “For those supporting multiple children, these payments could completely take over their income, so the state ensures that non-custodial parents still support their children without breaking the bank,” the Paula D. Kleinman law corporation revealed, as per Page Six. In addition to this, Bre’s own attorney, Neama Rahmani also spoke out against her, declaring that “California law does not limit child support payments based on the number of children a parent has.”

“Child support payments are based on a number of factors, including the parents’ income, the cost of child care, and the amount of time the child spends with each parent.  It does not consider the number of children a parent has, so it doesn’t matter whether Nick or any other father has one child or twelveDo you think it would be fair for Nick Cannon to skip out on paying child support for his kids?

Ari Fletcher Explains Reluctance To Legally Marry Moneybagg Yo: “If He’s On Child Support, I Am Too!”

by

Ari Fletcher and Moneybagg Yo have a relationship that few understand. Over the past few years, we’ve seen the pair go their separate ways on more than one occasion, though fate seems to constantly pull them back together. In the past, the social media starlet has expressed interest in having a child with her rapper beau. However, in the latest episode of her #DinnerWithTheDon YouTube series, Fletcher made it abundantly clear that marriage is something she’s more reluctant about, mostly due to the potential of having to pay child support to Bagg’s baby mamas.

“I wanna get proposed to, I wanna have a wedding,” the mother of one explained to special guest Queen Naija and her other friends on-camera. “I want to be married, but without the paper,” Fletcher added before the R&B suggested that she get married in a spiritual ceremony. “God forbid, something’s going on, and you’ve got my money,” Moneybagg’s partner said while working away in the kitchen.

Ari Fletcher isn’t Interested in Paying Moneybagg Yo’s Child Support

Clearly, Ari has done a lot of thinking about the logistics that could come with marrying the Southern superstar. “This n*gga got eight kids, so you know, his baby mamas could come after me! If they put him on child support, I’m on child support too,” the 27-year-old ranted. A clip from the new episode is circulating across various blogs this afternoon, with many Instagram users praising Fletcher for thinking about such things.

“She’s not wrong because it does happen. She’s thinking about her money and the welfare of her child. I can dig it,” one person wrote in @theneighborhoodtalk’s comments. “She is a realist. Look at Mary J. Blige. She just knew that was her soul mate and look how he and his kids ended up coming for everything she worked for,” another added, referencing a cautionary tale from the past.

Beyoncé & Jay-Z Make California History By Purchasing Most Expensive Home Ever In The State

by

Jay-Z and Beyoncé have been two of the biggest figures in the music industry for decades, and they’re showing no signs of slowing down anytime soon. 2023 finds the couple markedly making some of their most mature moves to date, with the mother of three recently embarking on her RENAISSANCE World Tour and teasing a new business venture into the hair industry. Hov, on the other hand, has been busy convincing the city of New York that his Roc Nation casino plans for Times Square are the right fit for them.

Amid all this, the Carters have somehow found time to finalize the purchase of a new home – one that also makes them record-breakers in the state of California. As TMZ reports, their new spot spans a whopping 30,000 square feet in Malibu, and it cost them $200 million. This makes it the most expensive home ever sold in the area, with the prior record being $177M. It came in second place in terms of the most expensive real estate deal in the country, falling short of a $238M NYC apartment deal. Seeing as the property was initially on the market for $295M, the southern singer and east coast lyricist got an incredible deal.

Bey and Jay Make Major Money Moves

The mansion is just one of many located on “Billionaires’ Row,” which overlooks the Pacific Ocean in Paradise Cove. It was designed by Tadao Ando, the renowned Japanese architect who’s also been linked to Kanye West’s new home in Malibu. The previous owner of Bey and Jay’s abode is William Bell, best known for having one of the biggest art collections in the world. He spent nearly a decade and a half building the all-concrete structure, which is now the new owner’s second property in the area.

In 2017, they purchased an $88M Bel-Air mansion which has since undergone extensive renovations to bump its worth into the $100 millions. Are you envious of the Carter’s record-breaking new home? Let us know in the comments, and check back in later for more pop culture/hip-hop news updates.
