Ice Spice’s Picture With Nobu Co-Owner Unleashes More Weight Loss Worries

December 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ice Spice has caused a lot of conversation around her weight loss these days, and it’s sadly one that she isn’t even leading on social media. Moreover, instead of focusing on her fitness journey and all the work-outs that she showed off, fans instead spread Ozempic rumors and felt that she was going a bit too far, especially after a recent picture with Nobu’s co-owner. Of course, much of this fan concern comes from a legitimately caring place, and it’s certainly understandable to be skeptical and put off by the drastic physical transformation. But if the Bronx femcee is happy, then maybe fans don’t have much to worry about.

Furthermore, many fans changed their tune and instead defended Ice Spice from the haters, either bringing attention to her fitness journey or lamenting why people always make fun of her or police her image. Despite all that fan engagement, she doesn’t let things go too far and, whenever she responds, it’s usually in quick, hilarious, and blunt fashion. Sadly, we can expect many more of these responses to emerge in 2025 amid more criticism to come.

Ice Spice’s Weight Loss Continues To Divide Fans

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

Unfortunately, there are a lot of other negative narratives around Ice Spice these days that could contribute to this critical perspective of her weight loss. For example, maybe some of these haters are Latto fans who followed every step of their cold-ish war over the past few years. The most recent development in that were some alleged shots at Spice on the new GloRilla track “PROCEDURE,” continuing their supposed lyrical back-and-forths. But this is all speculative since both femcees have downplayed any actual beef, even if they haven’t done a great job of doing so for good.

Meanwhile, there are still many people thirsting for Ice Spice that actually prefer this new look, but that’s not the important part of the discussion. It’s instead whether or not she’s still healthy or if there’s something else that fans should worry about, but again, it doesn’t sound like any of our business. Hopefully the discussion turns to more fruitful topics in 2025 that aren’t as intrusive or presumptuous.

Ice Spice Provokes Even More Fan Concern Over Her Weight Loss Thanks To Revealing Selfie

December 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ice Spice already seems to have addressed the backlash to her weight loss, but fans won’t give up on this narrative just yet. Moreover, a recent top-down selfie of hers sparked even more concern over her slim figure, regardless of whether or not it’s what she’s shooting for. Fans seem particularly worried about the Bronx femcee’s visible bone structures and about just how drastic the physical transformation has been. Of course, this is just social media gossip and speculation, as she herself seems committed to her fitness journey and to this new look. So we can’t tell if the haters are really keeping the 24-year-old’s best health interests at heart or if they just prefer her previous build.

In either case, Ice Spice is just enjoying her life right now and is probably letting all this roll off her shoulder. After all, she has more grand things to attend to, such as a recent SKIMS store opening in New York City that she supported Kim Kardashian at. But despite all these high-profile celebrity developments, the online hate train is chugging along at a steady pace thanks to this weight loss debate. Hopefully one day we reach a point where we primarily talk about the music that artists dropped this year instead of focusing on their personal lives.

Ice Spice Sparks Fan Concern Over Weight Loss With Latest Selfie

Elsewhere, Ice Spice has just been dealing with other pitfalls of fame, such as recent legal action against her for allegedly stealing another artist’s song. Specifically, Brooklyn rapper D.Chamberz alleged that “In Ha Mood” is “strikingly similar” to his 2021 cut “In That Mood.” She ended up settling the lawsuit with Chamberz, so we don’t really have many details as to whether or not she or her team admitted to any alleged wrongdoing.

As for this weight loss debacle, some fans are alleging Ozempic use whereas others aren’t thinking about it so deeply. Usually celebrities face the opposite beauty standards, so it’s been bizarre to see Ice Spice garner these reactions. Nevertheless, we hope that this dramatic transformation is all by design, and if that’s what she wants, then we hope fans turn more supportive with time.

Drake Teams Up With NFL For OVO Collab Despite League’s Association With Kendrick Lamar

December 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake and Kendrick Lamar engaged in one of the most jaw-dropping beefs in the history of hip-hop. Overall, this is a feud that is going to go down in history, especially with the way it ended. Kendrick ultimately got the win, and he did so in a brutal fashion. His mastery of tone and strategy were second to none, and Drizzy didn’t really have an answer. In the aftermath of Lamar’s win, he was even awarded the Super Bowl Halftime Show, which has proven to be a controversial decision.

Despite the league’s newfound association with Kendrick, it would appear as though Drake is still in business with the league. Over the years, Drake has dropped a few collaborations alongside the NFL, through his OVO brand. The OVO imprint is mostly known for its impressive streetwear designs. Overall, these collaborations draw a ton of hype, and most importantly, they look good. Now, OVO and the NFL are teaming up for a brand-new collection.

— SOUND | Victor Baez (@itsavibe) December 10, 2024

As you can see in the tweet above, it would appear as though this new collaboration is going to bring the OVO aesthetic to some unique jackets. In fact, these jackets seem to be in the same style as those iconic Starter jackets that were popular decades ago. As for the release date of the collaboration, you can expect the new pieces to arrive on Friday, December 13th. Essentially, these are coming out right in time for the Christmas holiday.

It will be interesting to see what else Drake will do with the NFL, in the future. There were rumblings that Drake had been asked to perform the Super Bowl Halftime Show twice. However, on both occasions, Drake decided that it would be best to just politely decline. One has to wonder if the artist will change his tune on that in the future. After all, performing at the Super Bowl is one of the biggest things you can do as a legacy act.

Sexyy Red Causes Fan Debate By Debuting New Look

December 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Sexyy Red has shown off quite a few looks during her time in the spotlight, whether it’s blonde, black, or red hair; short(er), long(er), straight, curly… You name it. As such, fans already have their favorites, so every time a new look rolls around, they have to rank it on their tier list. Moreover, she recently showed off some wavy blonde locks and was gushing about them with her friends. Fans had a whole slew of reactions in the comments section under the Instagram post below. Some were just critical haters of the St. Louis femcee’s look no matter what, others loved this new style, and a few expressed preference for other hair colors while still giving their flowers.

However, Sexyy Red also faced a bit of backlash recently for some serious allegations. An alleged ex partner accused her of giving him a sexually transmitted disease, and she clapped back with denials of these claims and some harsh words for the alleged ex. So not every discussion around the 26-year-old online is going to focus on her image alone, although this is certainly part of public perception.

Sexyy Red Shows Off A New Hair Color

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

With that in mind, there are a lot of external factors and seemingly misinterpreted actions that inform how people look at Sexyy Red these days. For example, a lot of people accused her of doing cocaine on Kai Cenat’s stream, another rumor that she had to dispel. It seems like the rapper is an easy calling card to reveal your true feelings about some sort of controversial topic, whether that’s substance use in this case or lewd activity in most others. It’s a pretty heavy burden to bear as a superstar – despite the massive flow of money – but one that boosts your profile all the same in a social media age.

Another example of this kind of criticism recently came from Candace Owens, who appeared on Nick Cannon’s Counsel Culture show to speak on how Black music has evolved from Michael Jackson to Sexyy Red. She brought this up as an example of how the media belittles the Black community, but as with most Sexyy takes, it’s not a very nuanced or earnest assessment.

Lil Baby Inexplicably Blasts Rappers Using Nail Polish On New Song “Touchdown”

December 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Baby just released his new single “Touchdown,” and while it’s pretty standard fare based on what we’ve come to expect from him, one bar in particular really stood out to many listeners. “Real gangster, I ain’t rocking no nail polish,” he raps on the cut, which is a confusing bar for a couple of reasons. First off, fans’ beef-infected minds immediately began to speculate whether or not he’s talking about one MC in particular. But others expressed more confusion over this random stray for a normal fashion trend in recent years whose typically homophobic and hyper-masculine backlash is old news at this point.

You can definitely some of that thinly-veiled discrimination in the comments section of the Instagram post below, and this reaction did not become any less corny from what it was almost a decade ago. But then again, this is probably just a random throwaway line from Lil Baby, so making a fuss about it in either direction seems like a worthless and unnecessary endeavor. He’s teased a lot of music on the way soon, so fans hope that his lyrics down the road are a little more cogent or relevant.

Lil Baby Disses Rappers Who Use Nail Polish

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

Still, this isn’t the most pressing question that Lil Baby had to answer as of late, as some other discussions around his name were more about speculation than reactions. When he and Offset launched seemingly random disses at unnamed opps on Instagram, some fans connected the dots and assumed that they actually dissed each other. It turns out that this couldn’t be further from the truth, or at least, that’s what DJ Akademiks reported from an allegedly close source.

It’s still interesting because Lil Baby and Migos beef rumors surfaced years ago, and some fans think that said narrative continues to exist. But they dismissed that gossip multiple times, so we don’t think there’s anything to worry about. As for this random nail polish bar, maybe the “Insecurities” spitter explains it down the line, but if he really caves into that pressure either way, it would probably inspire more questions than answers. Since when did men care so much about what other men did style-wise? Actually, we’d rather not find out…

Gabrielle Union Finally Responds To Plastic Surgery Speculation

December 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Gabrielle Union recently held a meet and greet promoting her Larry Sims partnership with JCPenny, the SlimStyled experience. Specifically, she spoke to PEOPLE about her preferred hairstyles in order to look a little more youthful, which led to some remarks about fan gossip. Moreover, Dwyane Wade’s longtime partner spoke on folks’ rumors that she got plastic surgery. “A high pony for a lady of a certain age is like a facelift,” she remarked. “As much as what happens or doesn’t happen with my face is speculated, if you can’t be missing for six months to get a facelift — which I’ve never been missing for six months, get it right — the high pony is going to snatch you here.

“A pony here is going to snatch you here,” Gabrielle Union added, gesturing towards the middle of her head. “And a low [pony], here [points to back of neck].” So it looks like she did not have any work done at all, and even if she had, that doesn’t make her any less stunning or worthy of loving herself. Union’s been having a pretty great 2024 all things considered, even stopping by Megan Thee Stallion and GloRilla’s tour earlier this year to have an awesome time.

Gabrielle Union Claps Back At Claims That She Went Under The Knife

A post shared by HOLLYWOOD UNLOCKED (@hollywoodunlocked)

However, this was also a relatively spicy year for Gabrielle Union in the headlines, given what many fans assumed about her relationship with her peers. If you didn’t hear, fans saw that she liked a tweet that seemed to shade Vivica A. Fox in response to her comments about Taraji P. Henson. In particular, Henson complained about unfair play in Hollywood concerning issues of gender and race.

That whole situation never really cleared up, so we can probably assume that everyone involved resolved their issues privately or it was never an issue to begin with. Regardless, none of that probably bothered Gabrielle Union in the first place. Not even these plastic surgery rumors can inspire that much ire, as she has plenty of experience in clapping back at trolls who criticize her looks. So we’ll see whether other Internet speculation gets an answer or if it’s all just noise.

Rihanna & Angel Reese Lock In A Collab During Award Show

December 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rihanna and Angel Reese just made their admiration for one another very clear thanks to some new social media posts from the Footwear News Achievement Awards in New York City on Wednesday (December 4). The latter received the honors for the Style Influencer of the Year award, whereas the former just hung out there with her boo A$AP Rocky. When they crossed paths, Reese shared some videos of their interaction to her Instagram page, with them even remarking on how they want to collaborate on something in the future. We have no idea what this link-up could look like, but either way, we’re excited for both of them to garner more pop culture crossovers.

Beyond Rihanna, though, Angel Reese has met plenty of other celebrities and musicians amid her newfound fame as a WNBA superstar. However, not all of them have the same results. For example, fans clowned DDG for a promo video he did with the Chicago Sky player, making it clear just how much shorter he is than her. He seemed to take it all in stride, though, as it’s hard not to anticipate those types of comments flooding engagement.

Rihanna & Angel Reese Link Up

Anyways, back to this collab tease. The most obvious and logical way in which Rihanna could work with Angel Reese is if they endorse or promote each others’ brands. RiRi has a pretty huge one in Savage X Fenty, so perhaps that’s the vehicle through which they can cause some pop culture mayhem. As for Reese, she has a boatload of endorsement deals, business ventures, and media spaces of her own, so she could always invite the Barbadian singer on for some of those.

Meanwhile, even if this collaboration doesn’t manifest, we’re sure that Rihanna and Angel Reese have some big plans for 2025. They often have to reckon with new music demands or creepy podcast interactions to get where they want to go, but those haven’t stopped them so far. Fans want to hear some new gems and see more great games. But it’s clear that these women have far more tools in their arsenal to build their presences and support each other.

Kanye West & Bianca Censori Rock Matching White Outfits During Tokyo Shopping Trip

November 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s been an undoubtedly chaotic year for Kanye West and his wife, Bianca Censori. The Chicago rapper has hunkered down in Tokyo to work on his upcoming album BULLY, which fans expect to hear sometime in 2025. He’s also been hit with various lawsuits in recent months, the most recent arriving just last week. Ye even sold his Malibu mansion a couple of months back, losing a staggering $36 million in the process.

As for Censori, she frequently makes headlines for her daring fashion statements, which she usually shows off while out and about with her husband. Their latest outing was no exception, but this time around, Ye matched her energy with a similarly striking outfit. In new photos obtained by TMZ, the high-profile pair is seen standing on an escalator at a mall in the Japanese capital, both rocking all-white attire.

Ye wore a white hoodie and a matching pair of sweatpants. Censori, on the other hand, stunned in what looked like a snug white bodysuit. They both appeared to be in good spirits, laughing as they made their way through the mall. We’re not permitted to post the images directly on HotNewHipHop. If you’d like to see them, you can do so by clicking the Via link below.

Fans are glad to see that the two of them were all smiles, as the same can’t be said for another one of their recent outings. Earlier this month, they were spotted having dinner at a restaurant in Tokyo, but they were frowning and looked depressed. It remains unclear exactly why they were down in the dumps at the time. Fortunately, however, it seems as though things have turned around for the better.

Charli XCX Stars In A New Campaign As The Face Of Luxury Streetwear Brand Acne Studios

November 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Brat summer might be over, but Charli XCX is the gift that keeps on giving. Just this season, Charli dropped the star-studded Brat remix album,brat and it’s completely different but also still brat (see the Billie Eilish-assisted “Guess” remix, produced by indie sleaze icon The Dare), announced a link-up and starring role in director Pete Ohs Erupcja, joined the cast of Romain Gavras’ Sacrifice, snagged nine Grammy nominations (including Album of the Year), and is now starring in a new campaign from Stockholm, Sweden-based brand Acne Studios with a photoshoot shot by renowned New York photographer Talia Chetrit.

The world can’t seem to get enough. We’re psyched not just because we’re massive Charli fans, but we love collaborations that make sense and Acne Studios, with its high-fashion meets streetwear aesthetic, is oozing with brat vibes.

The new collection mostly focuses on shoulder bags and baggy-fit jeans but also dips into accessories like padlock chain necklaces, metal frame sunglasses, as other staples like skirts, heels, and iridescent mini dresses. Just about everything from the collection looks straight out of a Charli XCX video, with the exception of the scarfs, which are way more demure than anything associated with this era of Charli.

Check out the full collection here and check out some of the lookbook photos below.

Bianca Censori Sports Tight White Mini-Dress For LA Shopping Spree

November 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bianca Censori never fails to capture fans’ attention with her daring and oftentimes scandalous fashion statements. This week is certainly no exception, as her recent shopping spree look turned plenty of heads. The Australian model and architect was spotted out and about in Los Angeles yesterday, hitting up a Williams Sonoma store to do some shopping. She did so in a white mini-dress and a pair of sheer lace tights. She tied everything together with some simple white heels.

Censori walked out with an entire cart full of new items. While it’s unclear exactly what she bought, it appears as though it was mostly home goods. This makes sense considering her husband Kanye West just bought a new home in Beverly Hills last month. The mansion cost him a whopping $35 million, which was still far less than he paid for his recently sold Malibu property.

Bianca Censori Stuns At Williams Sonoma

In September, he sold the Malibu abode to Belwood Investments CEO Bo Belmont for $21 million. Ye took a major loss, as he paid $57 million for it only three years ago. Allegedly, he had plans to convert the mansion into a bomb shelter, which ultimately did not pan out. Shortly after the sale, Belmont criticized Ye for the changes he made to the property, claiming he “single-handedly destroyed this architectural masterpiece.”

As for Censori, this is far from the first time she’s made headlines for her fashion statements as of late. Earlier this month, for example, she was seen with Ye at McDonald’s in Tokyo, sporting stylish all-silver attire. She also channeled Marilyn Monroe for Halloween in October, putting her own creative spin on the icon’s signature look.
