Jay-Z Poses For A Picture With Jermaine Dupri’s Daughter Backstage

by

Earlier today, pictures hit the internet of Jay-Z backstage with Jermaine Dupri’s daughter at a recent Renaissance Tour stop. The pair met up in Atlanta’s own Mercedes-Benz Stadium following Beyonce’s performance there. It’s no surprise to see notable names and family ties popping up along the Renaissance tour as they so often have. Just a few weeks ago Beyonce’s own mother Tina Knowles was in attendance for a show alongside Gayle King and Oprah.

Queen Bey’s recent stop in Atlanta made waves for a number of reasons. Firstly in a move wholesome way, when video of Quavo attending a show hit the internet. The charming clip sees the rapper showing off his bartending skills whipping himself up a drink to enjoy during the show. Beyonce also delivered her most up-to-date statement on Lizzo during the show. The “About Damn Time” singer is in hot water following a lawsuit made by her dancers alleging she created a hostile work environment. In the first Renaissance stop after the news broke Beyonce skipped over her name in the Queens Remix of “Break My Soul.” But last night she made her thoughts on the situation very clear for fans, saying “I love Lizzo” during the show.

That isn’t even the complete list of artists who came to see Beyonce over the weekend. Chloe and Halle Bailey were also both in attendance for her Atlanta show on Saturday night. The pair seemed to have a great time and were of particular status given that Chloe has long been seen as one of Bey’s protégés.

Last week, a famous club in New York owned by Jay-Z closed after 20 years of operation. The 40/40 club originally opened in 2003 and spawned a number of other locations in cities like Atlanta and Las Vegas. The club is expected to open up again in a new location later this year.

Beyonce Says “I Love You, Lizzo” During “RENAISSANCE” Tour Stop

by

It seems like Beyoncé is doubling down on her support for Lizzo after fans believed that she shaded her during a recent “RENAISSANCE” tour stop. Moreover, there’s a part of “BREAK MY SOUL” in which the superstar sings her name that she omitted during a show. However, this speculation didn’t last long, as she made sure to mention the “Special” star during a subsequent performance. If you didn’t know by now, this came about thanks to the multiple allegations of mistreatment, sexual harassment, and the creation of a hostile environment against the singer. After this speculation lit a fire on the Internet, the Lemonade artist made things much clearer.

“I love you, Lizzo!” Beyonce proclaimed during her most recent tour concert as of writing this article. With this, many fans expressed divided opinions over Queen Bey’s support. Some still dismiss the allegations as just the frustrations of ex-employees, whereas others give more credence to their testimonies and experiences. Overall, it’s still a recent development with not much official information out there, so it’s tough to determine the validity of this at the moment. Still, that doesn’t mean that these dancers and colleagues shouldn’t get their deservedly due consideration and that Lizzo shouldn’t be held accountable.

Beyonce: “I Love You Lizzo!”

Whatever results from the trials and hearings on the lawsuits will define the Cuz I Love You creative’s career for the foreseeable future. Given that she has a strong relationship with Beyonce, this support surely means a lot to her moving forward. After all, Lizzo’s seen her perform 11 times, and the Houston native has always been one of the biggest industry figures by her side. Regardless, this is going to be a messy and unclear process moving forward, so we will see how this proclamation ages.

Meanwhile, these accusations apparently made the NFL drop the 35-year-old from their Super Bowl halftime show shortlist. While this is but a small part of this more pressing legal story, it hints at the future of her brand endorsements and extracurricular opportunities. We’ll see how that continues to develop and evolve as more information, evidence, and statements come forward. On that note, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Beyonce and Lizzo.

Quavo Shows Up At Beyonce Tour Stop in Atlanta

by

Quavo is in full-on album mode. The former Migos rapper is gearing up to release his first new solo album in 5 years this week. He’s been teasing the project on Instagram for weeks since it was delayed from its original release date in early March. That included a number of promotional images, a confirmed album cover, and just this morning a brand new snippet of one of the album’s songs. But even while he’s in the process of promoting a new album, he couldn’t resist stopping by for a Beyonce show.

Celebrities have piled up at various stops on the Renaissance tour all summer. It’s no surprise that during a recent show in Atlanta, some hip-hop royalty was in attendance. A video made the rounds last night of Quavo at the show but he was doing something unexpected. The clip shows the rapper bartending, or rather, making a drink for himself to his own specifications. Onlookers were exceedingly amused by his display at the show. The clip comes just a few days after 21 Savage, who is on a pretty substantial tour of his own right now, stopped by a Renaissance stop and seemed to have a great time.

Quavo Makes Himself A Drink At Beyonce Concert

Recently, Quavo celebrated a meaningful musical milestone. His collaborative album with Takeoff Only Built For Infinity Links was certified gold less than a year after its release. The album featured the hit song “HOTEL LOBBY” and a number of features from the likes of Young Thug, NBA Youngboy, Gunna, and more.

The project was released less than a month before the tragic death of Takeoff at a Houston nightclub. Since then artists from across the spectrum of hip-hop have poured out praise for Take. That included a viral moment at the BET Awards when Quavo and Offset had a surprise reunion show to honor their former Migos collaborator. What do you think of Quavo putting his bartending skills on display at a Beyonce concert? Let us know in the comment section below.

Beyoncé is having the time of her life on her critically acclaimed Renaissance World Tour. This weekend, the “Break My Soul” hitmaker is currently in Atlanta, where she took the stage last night (August 11) at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and will do so again tonight (August 12) and Monday (August 14).

While in Atlanta, the Beyhive has already shown her much love, and she’s returned the love by crowning the ATL-hive the current winners of the “everybody on mute” challenge. Additionally, the city has also bestowed upon Beyoncé quite an honor.

Though Bey hails from Houston, Texas, the City of Atlanta has officially declared August 11 “Beyoncé Day.” A proclamation was written by the Atlanta City Council in recognition of one Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter.

“As an accomplished singer, songwriter, and producer, Beyoncé has continuously pushed the boundaries of creativity,” reads the proclamation, “using her art to tell stories that resonate with diverse audiences and advocate for social change. Her dedication to empowering women, supporting LGBTQ+ rights, and advocating for racial equality has had a profound impact on communities worldwide.”

For those going to the other Atlantas shows tonight and Monday, Uproxx has put together some nifty guides on how to navigate parking and ridesharing at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.

Beyoncé is bringing her critically-acclaimed Renaissance World Tour to Atlanta, Georgia for a three-night run. Beginning Friday (August 11), Beyoncé will take the stage at Mercedes-Benz Stadium to perform her Renaissance album in full, as well as some of her biggest hits.

Of course, parking is expected to be a bit of a hassle at a Beyoncé concert, however, Mercedes-Benz Stadium has taken to their social media accounts to share some helpful instructions on when, how, and where to part.

According to a post from Mercedes-Benz Stadium’s official Instagram account, the parking lots will open at 1 p.m. Concertgoers can use Waze to guide them to their pre-paid parking lots.

The doors to the stadium will open at 5:30 for VIP ticketholders, however, guests are encouraged to arrive early, in anticipation for heavy traffic on the day of the concert.

Buying a ticket does not guarantee parking, and attendees are encouraged to pre-purchase parking ahead of the show.

While parking and rideshare options are available for concertgoers, the stadium recommends ticketholders to utilize the Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority, known as the MARTA.

“MARTA is the fastest and easiest way to get to MBS,” reads the Instagram post.

It is also worth noting that Mercedes-Benz stadium is a 100% mobile ticketing venue, and only the purchased or fully-transferred ticket will be accepted — no screenshots.

Beyoncé Tributes O'Shae Sibley, Who Died After Being Attacked While Dancing to 'Renaissance' Album

A suspect has been arrested for the fatal stabbing of O’Shae Sibley, who was killed after an attack at a gas station as he danced to Beyoncé’s Renaissance album.

According to the New York Police Department, the suspect is a teenager who has been charged with second-degree murder. The incident has also been labeled a hate crime.

Beyonce recently paid tribute to Sibley, honoring the late dancer with a tribute on her website, writing: “REST IN POWER O’SHEA SIBLEY.”

tribute

O’Shae Sibley was dancing at one of the gas pumps when he was approached by several men who said his dancing offended their Muslim faith.

Sibley was with a group of friends who were all shirtless and wearing swimsuit or shorts on one of the hottest nights in July. The Muslim men believed Sibley was wearing pink boxer shorts.

The suspects allegedly shouted anti-gay slurs at Sibley and his friends. “They were saying, ‘Oh, we’re Muslim, so don’t do this in front of me,” a witness said.

“From that I think it looks like a hate crime,” he added. “This guy was dancing in underwear and the suspect was like ‘Why are you dancing in your underwear?’”

The witness said the victim and his friends began arguing with the suspects. One of the Muslim men started recording on his cell phone.

The witness said the man recording the victim walked away through the parking lot. But Sibley chased after him and was stabbed by the man.

Sibley suffered a stab wound to the abdomen and left a trail of blood behind him as he staggered along the sidewalk before collapsing.

He was taken to Maimonides Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.

Sibley was well known in the ballroom community, CBS News reports.

The witness believes the suspect was motivated by homophobia. “Obviously, they are gay and if they are dancing that’s the problem they had,” he said.

The NYPD is asking for the public’s help to identify the suspect.

Her health is improving, however she is still under medical care. A full recovery is expected,” Oseary wrote on his Instagram account. “At this time, we will need to pause all commitments, which includes the tour.” The following month, she broke her silence on the situation with a post on social media thanking her fans for their “positive energy, Prayers and words of healing and encouragement.”

Everyone’s got Beyoncé fever — including Governor Phil Murphy. Yesterday (July 28), ahead of the one-year anniversary of Bey’s seventh studio album, Renaissance, and her upcoming two performances at MetLife Stadium this weekend, the New Jersey governor revealed himself to be a member of the Beyhive, and gave Beyoncé a special title — the Queen Honey-Bey of the Garden State.

In a video shared to Twitter, Murphy honored Beyoncé with the title, and gave a special shoutout to many of her songs — hits and deep cuts alike.

“Hey New Jersey, did you know Beyoncé is performing at MetLife Stadium?” said Murphy in the video. “No it’s not deja vu, the Queen Bey herself will actually be coming to New Jersey. In honor of her two performances this weekend, I have officially proclaimed Beyoncé the Queen Bey of the Garden State.”

He continued, saying “Queen Bey — New Jersey would have a problem if you didn’t perform at MetLife for for your Renaissance tour. Your New Jersey BeyHive will always be crazy in love with you. We are all heated to know we will be living cozy in your presence this weekend.”

He then signed off, saying, “XO, Governor Murphy.”

Beyoncé Finally Shared An Update On The Much-Desired ‘Renaissance’ Visuals, But It’s Not What You Might Think

It’s been almost a year since Beyoncé dropped her critically acclaimed seventh album, Renaissance. While the album has spawned radio and viral hits like “Break My Soul” and “Cuff It” — as well as fan favorites like “Plastic Off The Sofa” and “Virgo’s Groove” — there’s still one missing component that makes a Beyoncé era, a Beyoncé era: The visuals.

At the time of writing, just about a week ahead of the album’s first birthday, Bey has yet to drop a single music video for any of the songs on Renaissance. And over the course of the past year, she’s remained rather tight-lipped about the clips. But this past Monday (July 17), she seemingly broke her silence about the visuals.

In a clip from the Louisville, Kentucky concert stop on the Renaissance World Tour, Bey, apparently in response to a fan’s sign asking about videos, is seen telling fans, “You are the visual, baby,” to which the fans respond with cheers.

This isn’t the first time Bey has opted to keep nonchalant about the visual components of her album eras. While her 2016 album Lemonade was accompanied by an hour-long short film, many fans waited with bated breath for a documentary of the Formation World Tour.

In an Elle interview from 2019, she revealed that Prince inspired her not to document the tour, and told fans that the show exists within themselves.

“Years ago, I asked Prince to record my rehearsal with him for our Grammy performance,” said Bey. “He said, ‘You don’t need to record that. You own that in your mind.’ Haaaaaaa! Prince always knew best! So, you can always watch the Formation World Tour in your mind; you own that!”

You can see a clip from the Kentucky show above.

Tasha K Makes Fun Of Blue Ivy’s Dancing On Beyonce’s Tour

by

Tasha K recently made a lot more enemies online by making fun of Blue Ivy’s dancing during Beyoncé’s RENAISSANCE tour. Moreover, her comments on her show Unwine With Tasha K left many fans outraged over the mocking and critical tone that she took against the singer’s daughter. After all, her participation in these shows has been the subject of a lot of discussion and love online. What’s more is that comments sections of posts covering these remarks have been absolutely ruthless against the blogger. “SMH trolling babies now,” one user expressed. “Congrats on a new low Tasha. SMH. Blue danced perfectly fine for her age. Shame on you.”

Still, let’s get into what she actually said. “She went on to tell the publication that she’s ‘super proud’ seeing Blue Ivy perform with her mom,” Tasha K said of a report. “I can’t help, that’s a little bit of shade, okay? ‘Cause everybody knows that Blue Ivy was very stiff up there. Beyonce just gon’ tell this girl that she got it. We’ve seen 13-year-old girls from the hood outdance and hula-hoop her! I like Blue Ivy, I think she’s beautiful, I think she’s going to be a model. Her momma already has her life being set up. But her momma has to be honest with her and tell her the truth.

Tasha K On Blue Ivy’s Dancing

“I need Beyonce to take a day trip back down to Houston,” Tasha K continued. “I need her to take a trip to the projects, alright? Her local rec center, local kids club, leave Blue Ivy down there for one week and let’s see if she’s able to loosen up. Okay? Put her in an all-hood cheerleading camp. You know there’s the black cheerleaders and the white cheerleaders. I got a feeling she over there with the white cheerleaders, the Catholic cheerleaders. They not supposed to bend over all the way. But the black cheerleaders gon’ bend over. I just think Blue Ivy just needs a little bit of tweaking. If I’m paying $2,000 a seat, I don’t wanna see a robot up there. She look like the iRobot that be vacuuming my floors.”

Overall, at least she had some nice things to say about Beyoncé’s daughter. Still, it’s not hard to see why so many fans are in vehement disagreement with her words. That being said, it certainly isn’t the first fanbase she clashes with, as she had a sarcastic apology for Cardi B fans recently. Log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Tasha K, Beyonce, and Blue Ivy.
