Sexyy Red Teases New Music On Social Media

by

Sexyy Red is back in the game following her recent pregnancy and birth, for which many congratulations are in order. But if you thought she was coming into 2024 with any less energy than she had in her breakout 2023, it seems like you’d be sorely mistaken. Moreover, the St. Louis MC recently returned to social media to preview some new music, in which she plays with some faster flows -– at least, at first. Then, the full drum beat, dark keys, and heavy bass set in, and it sounds like another club-ready banger like the ones she dominated with last year.

Sure, this doesn’t reinvent the wheel when it comes to the Hood Hottest Princess, but it’s exactly the kind of music that fans loved and expected. Hopefully Sexyy Red takes her time to fully craft it before dropping, as she’s got a lot on her plate for this year. The 25-year-old is one of the performers slated for The Roots Picnic, which raised many fans’ eyebrows. After all, many probably didn’t expect Questlove to be a “Pound Town” resident, but a good festival lineup should always be diverse and timely, right?

In addition, these new music teases follow her new music video with Drake and SZA, “Rich Baby Daddy” off of the Toronto superstar’s 2023 album, For All The Dogs. It resulted in a lot of memes and artist responses, such as Sexyy Red joking that she would put Drizzy on child support and people joking about their partnership in the visuals. It’s great to see that some of the later hits of last year still have some mileage, especially one as fun and bubbly as this one. Most importantly, it keeps momentum up for whatever she’s going to drop next.

Meanwhile, what do you think about this new music that the “SkeeYee” hitmaker is teasing for her fans? Does it match to the energy of her latest single with Nardo Wick, “Somethin’“? Whatever the case and however you may feel, drop your thoughts in the comments section down below. Also, as always, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Sexyy Red.

Questlove Slams The ‘I Love Real Music’ Folks Upset Over Sexyy Red’s Upcoming Appearance At The 2024 Roots Picnic

With music festival season approaching, organizers have realized you can’t please the public. Following the reveal of the 2024 Roots Picnic, Questlove quickly learned this lesson. Over the years, as the event has expanded to be more inclusive of fans’ tastes, the outdoor event not only added a second day but mixed up its featured act.

After welcoming each billed musician via an individual shout-out on his Instagram page, followers blasted Questlove for booking Sexyy Red to the fest that has its roots in R&B, neo-soul, and vintage hip-hop.

Yesterday (February 19), Questlove had enough of the negative remarks and responded to silence the critics replying to a comment left under his initial post.

“There is always that one [act] on the show everyone hates because it serves as a reminder the hip hop they like is from 30 years ago,” he wrote. “I mean, I get it, but look: we gotta round and balance the day out. There are other stages, podcasts, and events to see.”

Questlove didn’t stop there. He went on to slam users for pouring their hate into Sexyy Red’s announcement instead of appreciating the other acts set to perform.

“I’m still shocked yall got energy for ‘oh hell no isms,’” he wrote. “Like it’s 16 years folks, when have you seen a festival in which every act is the act you love? I mean, the way I see it: cats in here bringing a certain energy: meanwhile, there is a whole entire Jill [Scott] post, Amerie post, Black Thought post, and a Meth[od Man] and Red[man] post. I see/hear nary a ‘I love real music’ person supporting that page. It’s almost worth it just for this engagement & trolling was the last thing on my mind lol. Roots Picnic is well-rounded, and that’s why it works.”

This isn’t the first time the Roots Picnic’s lineup has caused a stir online. In 2023, organizers were questioned after GloRilla and Saucy Santana were announced to perform. Festival regulars, City Girls, have been met with negative backlash for years. However, given Roots Picnic’s rise in popularity over the years, it is safe to say organizers are doing something right.

The general on-sale for the 2024 Roots Picnic begins on February 23 at 10 a.m. ET. Find more information here.

Is Drake Sexyy Red’s Baby Daddy?

Back in 2023, Drake, Sexyy Red, and SZA all joined forces for the Canadian rapper’s For All The Dogs track “Rich Baby Daddy.” Most recently, a new music video for the song dropped, which has an interesting premise. In it, Drake and Sexyy Red play a suburban couple who are expecting a child together — and it perfectly works out, as Sexyy Red was actually pregnant when filming the video.

Reminiscent of a home video recording, he then films as Sexyy Red goes into labor (in real life, perhaps) which leads to a tense conversation between the two. “Put the camera down!” she shouts, halfway through the music video, after telling him her water broke. “Are you f*cking dumb? Can you stop,” SZA adds.

Because of the video’s realistic-seeming content, some might be wondering if Drake is really the father. Here’s what to know.

Is Drake Sexyy Red’s Baby Daddy?

Drake is… not the father! Although Sexyy Red has a song called “Bow Bow Bow (F My Baby Dad),” she was not referring to Drake. She gave birth to her second child, which she announced through an Instagram post. “Me waitin to get discharged from the hospital so I can hit da block wit da guys,” she captioned at the time.

Last month, she also revealed (sort of) who the child’s father was, as he posed with her for a maternity photoshoot. Although The Shade Room blurred out his face, fans can very clearly see that it’s not Drake. Check out Sexyy Red’s shoot with the father here.

Drake Becomes Sexyy Red’s ‘Rich Baby Daddy’ In Their New VHS-Style Video That’s A Throwback Slice Of Life

by

Sexyy Red gave birth recently, and she, Drake, and SZA decided to make that the foundation for their new “Rich Baby Daddy” video that dropped last night (February 14).

The Drake-directed clip starts with himself behind the camcorder, showing off his suburban neighborhood before heading inside to his pregnant wife, Red. The music kicks in at around 45 seconds and shows Drake, Sexyy, and SZA enjoying a holiday celebration in their humble home. The music cuts back out at 2:17 into the video, when Red shouts at Drake from across the house, letting him know that her water broke.

The music returns as the three head to the hospital, where the video shifts away from its VHS style and starts looking more modern, as Sexyy gives birth and friends and family celebrate the new arrival. Before the video ends, we see footage from after Red’s actual, real-life childbirth, as she holds her baby and on-screen text reads, “Congratulations Red!!! We Love You.”

Speaking of hospitals, at a recent St. Louis concert, Drake offered to pay for a fan’s upcoming operation, saying from the stage, “You got a sign out that says, ‘Please help me with my surgery.’ I don’t know what kind of surgery you need, sir. I really don’t, but I’ma let you know: From me to you, St. Louis love, we gonna take care of whatever the surgery is.”

Last year, Drake released his highly-anticipated new album For All The Dogs. The project features some of his strangest collaborations and song concepts to date and the videos accompanying the era have been appropriately outside the box. The first video from the era was for “8 am In Charlotte” and starred Drizzy’s son Adonis, who also makes his rap debut on the album itself. Tracks like “First Person Shooter” with J. Cole and “Another Late Night” with Lil Yachty also got videos of their own. The EP that followed the album Scary Hours 3 even got a video that featured an appearance from another one of the biggest stars in all of music, country singer Morgan Wallen.

Now one of the most unique and exciting tracks on For All The Dogs is getting a video of its own. That track is “Rich Baby Daddy” which features Sexyy Red and SZA. For the music video, they play off Sexyy Red’s recent pregnancy. Drake and Red play a couple in a series of home video-style recordings documenting her pregnancy. As the video goes on her water breaks and by the time her verse arrives she’s rapping alongside a newborn baby. It’s another stylistically distinct video from this era and perhaps the funniest yet. Check out the full video below.

Drake is currently on tour alongside J. Cole for his It’s All A Blur tour. The tour has been going on for months now dating back to the 21 Savage-supported shows last year. Despite claiming last year that he was going on a hiatus, Drizzy teased new music during a recent stop on the tour. While nothing actually concrete has emerged about what he could be releasing and when, he seemingly refuses to let his fans go without new music for long.

Nardo Wick And Sexyy Red’s ‘Somethin’ Video Has Fans Reminiscing About A Long Since Forgotten Viral Sensation

by

There’s no denying rap fans are experiencing a colossal case of sampling fatigue. However, Nardo Wick’s latest single, “Somethin,” featuring Sexyy Red, has supporters willing to make an exception.

As the two rappers let go of their hardened exteriors to show their emotional vulnerability, Wick drew inspiration from long since forgotten viral sensation IceJJFish. As “Somethin’” starts, the record opens with the easily recognizable chorus of IceJJFish’s 2014 track “On The Floor.”

The video opens with IceJJFish’s singing, “It’s something about ya, girl / That just makes my head wanna twirl / You got me wantin’ to tell all them other girls / There’s nothing else better on this world / The moment I seen her.”

In the remainder of the video, Nardo Wick and Sexyy Red show that everyone needs love. “That lil’ sh*t got my head twirlin’, what she tryna do to me? / Real short shorts, I see the dimples in her booty meat / And she not no borin’ one, what she do excite me / Is you her lil’ whoopty-woo? Uh, b*tch, I might be,” raps Wick.

After realizing the sample, fans rushed to X (formerly Twitter) to point out the reference. View a few of their responses below.
