Playboi Carti Fans Blamed For Alleged Rule Change At Store Selling Rick Owens Ramones

July 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Playboi Carti is an artist whose fanbase moves like a cult of sorts. Overall, he has proven to be one of the biggest artists in hip-hop thanks to his rabid fanbase. Although his music certainly lends to his cult of personality status. With Whole Lotta Red he completely changed the game for a lot of artists. Moreover, with his recent batch of singles, Carti has ushered in a new era that fans are excited for. He has a new album supposedly set to drop this year, and his fans are growing more anxious by the day.

On top of his musical prowess, Carti is also seen as a bit of a fashion icon amongst his fans. He loves wearing Rick Owens, specifically the Ramones boot shoe. These have become exceptionally popular and it would appear as though his fans are taking their affinity for the rapper a bit too far. In the tweet below courtesy of Kurrco, it was reported that a store that carries the Rick Owens Ramones has decided to place new restrictions on the shoe. Essentially, you have to be over 21 in order to try them on.

Playboi Carti Fans Do The Most

As the story explains, Carti fans were going into the store and trying the shoes on without any plans of copping them. This was exclusively happening with younger people, and the store decided to take action. It’s a funny story and Carti fans are being made out as the scapegoats here. However, it should be noted that these shoes are popular beyond just Carti wearing them. Either way, bring your ID next time you shop at that store.

Let us know what you think about all of this, in the comments section down below. Are you excited about the new Playboi Carti album that is set to drop soon?

July 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

If you are a fan of Fat Joe, then you know just how big of a sneakerhead he truly is. Overall, he has a massive collection that is truly impressive. Moreover, he even has his own chain of sneaker stores called Up NYC. These stores are all over New York, and they offer the best in new sneakers and streetwear. The store continues to be a success, and the artist loves being in charge of it. But as it turns out, the road to starting the store wasn’t always easy.

Recently, the legendary artist was on The Eli Manning Show. During Fat Joe’s appearance, he spoke on how he got Up NYC up and running. As it turns out, Nike wasn’t going to let him sell their sneakers at first. In order to have a Nike contract, you need to be vetted. However, Fat Joe was able to seek out Michael Jordan, who ultimately gave him the go-ahead. Needless to say, it’s good to have connections at your disposal.

“He was like, ‘Yo, you got permission?’ I said, ‘What permission?’ He was like, ‘Nah, you gotta get sanctioned you gotta get vetted.’ I was like, ‘Nah, I thought we was cool,’” Fat Joe recounted. “That night Jordan had a party in New York. I’m up in the party and you hear this just big voice, ‘Big Joe, Big Joe.’ And I turned around and everybody looks and it’s Michael Jordan. He said, ‘Your grand opening, I’ll be there. Your grand opening, I’m there.’ The same guys that told me no ran over, ‘I guess you got a store.’”

This was great timing and it was also quite a bit of luck. However, sometimes that is necessary on your way to success.
