Kendrick Lamar and some of his best musical friends will be performing in California tonight at what is being called “The Pop Out.” Overall, this is a concert that a lot of fans have been anticipating. Of course, this is because of its proximity to the Drake beef. Although many fans have already agreed that Kendrick won, they have been hoping for some sort of statement. Well, tonight poses the perfect opportunity for Kendrick to address his fans and proclaim his win.
The concert is set to begin in less than an hour, and there is all sorts of anticipation buzzing through the air in California. In fact, thousands of fans are currently at the KIA Forum where they are looking to take their seats. Some fans are checking out the merch tables and they have noticed some interesting pieces. The vast majority of the pieces are t-shirts that cost between $40 and $70. One of the t-shirts includes a reference to Kendrick’s now infamous “New Ho King” bar on the song “Euphoria.”
As some of you may know, New Ho King is a restaurant in Toronto. Following Kendrick’s song, the restaurant even came through and delivered a new meal named after the Compton artist. Now, Kendrick appears to be taking a victory lap of sorts with this new merch piece. We’re sure plenty of fans will be proudly wearing this while the concert goes on. If you want to watch, it starts at 4 PM PST/7 PM EST over on Prime Video.

Pusha T and No Malice are coming under fire on social media for rocking purses during their appearance at the Louis Vuitton Menswear Show in Paris on Tuesday. At the event, they premiered a new unreleased collaboration with John Legend. The move comes as they gear up for the release of a new Clipse album entirely produced by Pharrell.
When TheHipHopWolf shared a video of the two on social media, fans in the comments section complained about the outfits. “Never thought I’d see the day them boys carrying/wearing purses damn,” one user wrote. Another added: “Real men don’t carry purses.. it doesn’t matter who they are made by.”

The two members of Clipse announced the upcoming reunion album during an exclusive interview with Vulture published on Wednesday. Describing the project, Push said: “I think the album shows the supreme maturation of a rap duo. I think this is where you get the difference between taste and filler. This music is curated. This is a high taste-level piece of work. You can only have that level of taste when you have the fundamentals down to a science. I think it’s been definitely missing. Then there’s the competitive aspect.” As for working with Pharrell, he added: “Pharrell producing everything is also an ode to the type of music and the type of albums we want to make. We still want to make full bodies of work. These are movies, man. These aren’t just songs. This isn’t just a collection of joints we went in and banged out.”

“Fake Trues, that’s that sh*t I don’t like,” Chief Keef rapped on his breakout hit, “I Don’t Like.” His brand has been synonymous with True Religion from the jump. As the iconic denim brand regained its footing in hip-hop, Chief Keef helped re-introduce them as a staple. Sure, True Religion locked in its legacy in the rap rockstar era, thanks to Jim Jones, but it was Chief Keef who made it fly for the youth coming into the 2010s.
Over a decade later, Chief Keef and True Religion have joined forces for their second collaboration. Under the Chicago rapper’s brand, Bad Weather, they launched a capsule collection that fuses their distinct styles harmoniously. So, with that in mind, it’s worth reflecting on Chief Keef’s relationship with the legendary denim brand.
Planting A Seed For The True Religion Collaboration
References to True Religion have been scattered across Chief Keef’s catalog, from songs like “I Don’t Like,” and, of course, “True Religion Fein.” The latter, featuring Yale Lucciani, made it abundantly clear that his appreciation for True Religion became an obsession. “True Religion Fein” appeared on Back From The Dead and on the cover, the rapper donned the brand’s clothing blatantly.
“I made that one when I had finally got some money, some chedda cheese,” he told Complex in 2022 about “True Religion Fein.” “I used to go buy all True Religion with all my money. I’d just buy all the True Religion jeans, True Religion shirts. I used to even buy the True Religion girl’s shirts sometimes because they were so hard. I used to just buy so much True Religion I decided I should make a song.”
The brand wasn’t necessarily a staple in Chicago fashion at the time but it definitely spoke to the local hustlers in the city. “You’d see the fly girls wearing it. You’d see the fly boys wearing it. Not too many people had it in Chicago, but I don’t know. I just became a big fan of it, seeing the style of the jeans,” he explained before detailing its sentimental value. “I wanted to be fly. So, it made me a fan of True Religion. My first True Religion fit was actually from my friend. He passed away, but I had worn his True Religion fit to my first show. I had the full fit, the jean jacket and the jean pants.”
His impact on the True Religion brand is undeniable. In fact, a lot of the Glo Gang merch took inspiration from the brand’s colors and designs. So, when the 10th anniversary of Finally Rich and Back From The Dead came around, it only felt appropriate that the two connected for a collaboration. True Religion enlisted Chief Keef to design his capsule to celebrate the milestone, and the rapper’s personality was written all over it.
Though Chief Keef’s early music had a grim tone to it that derived from his experiences growing up in Chicago, there’s no doubt that his visual aesthetic has a fun and nostalgic childhood feel to it. His collection with True Religion included designs with flames, bubble letters, and cartoon skulls. “What inspired it is really just how I am, kinda fun. The colors, I like stuff like that. If you’ve seen my brand Glo Gang Worldwide, if you look at that stuff, you’ll see how fun and colorful it is. We got the sun and the moon. I just like fun stuff. That’s just how I am,” he explained to Complex. The rapper added that he designed everything for this collection himself.
Two years later, Chief Keef reunited with the denim brand. This time, it was a collaboration between his brand, Bad Weather and True Religion. Coming off the heels of a widely impressive year, which included the release of Almighty So 2 – an AOTY contender – and his first homecoming show in Chicago at Summer Smash this past weekend, the Bad Weather x True Religion keeps the rapper’s momentum high. However, it’s not just about propelling his career. The past few years of witnessing how his influence has trickled down to a new generation has sparked a desire to fulfill his potential as a leader in hip-hop.
“I wanted to bring my vision to life so my fans can really feel it,” Keef told Complex of the campaign. “Directing the photoshoot was like painting a picture of what this collection means—raw, real and revolutionary. It’s not just about the clothes, it’s about making a statement and pushing the culture forward. I’m hyped for everyone to see what we’ve put together.”
Ultimately, it’s a representation of his impact. “Pieces feature co-branded hardware, heavyweight fabrics, vintage dyes, and unique textures, paying homage to the brand’s history while signaling future growth. A standout feature is the double pockets, inspired by Chief Keef’s early days of stacking his True Religion Jeans. This collection merges past influences with contemporary creative, creating something truly unique. The collection includes t-shirts, denim vests, jeans, bandanas, and a beanie that embody Chief Keef’s style.

Boosie BadAzz couldn’t believe what he was seeing after catching the pictures from Lil Uzi Vert’s newest campaign for Marc Jacobs. When the fashion company shared the rapper posing in their clothes on Instagram, Boosie popped up in the comments section of a repost from The Shade Room. “OMG WTF,” Boosie wrote under the post, as caught by XXL.
He was far from the only person with a negative reaction to the campaign. Other fans voiced their displeasure in the comments section as well. “I will NEVER purchase your products again!!!!” one particularly angry user wrote. “Who do you think your target market is!! How offensive to women!!!! To use a gay man to promote women products!!!! So sick of it!!!!” Another commented: “Gonna have to delete all his music now.”

Other fans came to Uzi’s defense. “Y’all he’s worth an astounding 25 million… I don’t think he cares what you think about him,” one wrote. Another added: “F*ck the haters. This is a dope ass shoot. Good Uzi [fire emojis]. Let me hold that down. Haha pass it ovaa hea.” In the photos, Uzi shows off a limited-edition 40th Anniversary Tote Bag from the brand. The piece is available now on the company’s website as well as in select stores. Check out the post on Instagram below.
In other news, Uzi recently made headlines as their verse for an unreleased version of Kanye West’s “Fade” surfaced online, last month. The track was included on the album The Life of Pablo in 2016 but without Uzi’s contribution. Be on the lookout for further updates on Boosie BadAzz on HotNewHipHop.
Lil Uzi Vert is an artist who has always had eclectic taste. From their music to their fashion sense, Uzi does whatever they want. However, this has led to some pretty disrespectful comments from fans. Some will purposely go out of their way to make homophobic comments, while others just straight-up ignore their preferred pronouns. It has gotten to the point where Uzi can’t wear anything without being roasted for it. Case in point, is their recent participation in a Marc Jacobs campaign.
As you can see down below, Uzi posed for a collaboration between Stephen Sprouse & Marc Jacobs. Furthermore, the artist got to handle the 40th Anniversary Tote Bag. Unfortunately, this is what ultimately led to some of the clowning you will see in the comments section of Marc Jacobs’ IG post. Once again, most of the jokes include people questioning Uzi’s sexuality. However, there are others who just find all of this humorous, in general.
“JT girlfriend is so sassy,” one person wrote. “It’s giving women of the year,” said another. At least one person stood up for the artist, saying “Y’all he’s worth an astounding 25 million… I don’t think he cares what you think about him.” Needless to say, Uzi’s inclusion in the new campaign has been a bit divisive. Although considering the recent discourse surrounding the artist, this should not come as a surprise. Hopefully, fans leave Uzi alone, going forward.
Let us know what you think about Lil Uzi Vert and their recent appearance in the Marc Jacobs campaign, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that the fans are being too cruel for absolutely no reason? Why do you think fans are so comfortable making these comments?

Even though the rap battle between Drake and Kendrick Lamar is seemingly over, their fan bases are still going at it. Most people love to pick sides and go to bat for their beloved artist, celebrity, athlete, etc. Throughout this legendary beef we have constantly seen Lamar’s supporters rip Drake at every turn. For Drizzy, they are still holding out hope and make the case that he won the feud. However, their Canadian superstar has not been doing them any favors. Ever since “Not Like Us” dropped, the multi-hyphenate seems to make questionable decision after questionable decision.
Whether it be removing diss tracks, dropping head-scratching guest performances, and reference tracks leaking, he cannot seem to do anything right. Now, Drake is getting accused by Kendrick’s fans for copying the fit he wore on the cover of Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers. The Boy wore this ensemble to Adonis’ recent soccer game, in which the youngster’s mother, Sophie Brussaux, was also in attendance for. Looking at the outfits side by side, we can see why he is being called out.

Drake posted the photo seen above on his Instagram with yet another cryptic message. “Goats don’t worry about one trick ponies.” This could certainly be a shot at K-Dot, as this was something that he consistently did even during the battle. If this was an attempt to shush the dead-beat dad claims, it still did not work. Kendrick fans are never going to let him get away easily and this is one clear indicator of that.
What are your thoughts on Drake dressing like Kendrick Lamar did for Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers? Do you think he nearly copied it piece by piece? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your thoughts in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Drake and Kendrick Lamar. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.
Rihanna stepped outside in New York City on Sunday while rocking a fur coat with her natural hair on display. The look comes ahead of the release of her newest beauty venture, Fenty Hair, which is available now via early access followed by a full-scale launch on Thursday, June 13.
When The Shade Room shared pictures and videos of the look on Instagram, fans had plenty of praise in the comments section. “Maybe she’ll document her hair growth journey with her products,” one fan wrote. Another top comment reads: “Best way to prove a product works is to start off short and healthy. Great Marketing.” Others came to her defense directly amid criticism of the look. “It’s the black women in the comments for me [eye roll emoji]. Very sad,” one fan wrote. “And you’ll swear it’s the white people/ black man who makes you feel uneasy about your natural hair. IT BE YOUR OWN! Smh.”

Rihanna announced Fenty Hair in a post on Instagram, last week. “My hair has always been a huge part of my career and personal evolution, and @fentyhair was created to keep up with our hair and lifestyle- while constantly strengthening and repairing our hair with each use,” she wrote at the time. “I can’t wait for y’all to experience this!! hit the [link emoji] in my bio to sign up & shop first!” Check out the clips of the new hairstyle on Instagram below.
Sunday wasn’t the only time Rihanna has made headlines for her looks this month. Last week, she rocked a shirt hinting that she’s retired from music. Be on the lookout for further updates on Rihanna as well as Fenty Hair on HotNewHipHop.
As opposed to her recent scantily-clad fit for an Italy meeting, Bianca Censori chose to cover up her figure with a strange, bone-white coat that looks more like a bag than a cloak. Kanye West accompanied her to the Florence airport on Saturday morning (June 8), and he wore an all-white fit with a long-sleeve shirt and baggy pants. Security guards and airport staff kept an eye out for intruders or hecklers, making sure that no one would be able to bother them. It’s unclear where they’re going or where they’ve been, but the couple is keeping things pretty low-key these days compared to their other 2024 exploits.
Furthermore, Kanye West still hasn’t released his VULTURES sequels, and new recent studio footage with Young Moose might indicate that this could change soon. But it’s a Ye rollout, so we’d honestly not be surprised if the second and third installments of the Ty Dolla $ign collaborative series end up being like So Help Me God, Good A** Job, and other mythical releases. Maybe the couple will just chill out for the rest of the year and enjoy themselves. After all, VULTURES 1 already got a lot of revenue, hype, streams, and acclaim, one that could definitely carry itself all the way through 2024.
Bianca Censori & Kanye West Spotted In Los Angeles

However, we also know that the two are also pretty likely to go their separate ways and stay in tune with their own personal paths. For example, Bianca Censori recently went on a solo Australian trip to meet with her family, and it seems like they just hung out casually without much spectacle. It must feel quite different to the onslaught of paparazzi, fans, and the like that badger Kanye West and Bianca all over the world, but particularly in the United States. As such, a break every once in a while must be pretty satisfying.
Elsewhere, it seems like the case of alleged sexual assault concerning Bianca Censori and Kanye West attacking her alleged assaulter is still in limbo. Of course, Ye has much bigger fish to fry in this regard now. We’ll see whether accusations against him end up manifesting in a big court case or if they resolve that matter of accountability privately. Hopefully the outcome is one of justice. You can find pictures of Bianca Censori and Ye’s airport fits with the “Via” link below, as we can’t share the images directly on HNHH.
Draya Michele and Jalen Green recently hit up the “P By Gunna” clothing line launch on Thursday (June 6), and chose to don matching outfits for the occasion. Specifically, it’s a gray shirt that reads “Sex Ed,” which surely set off some online users and spectators who take issue with their age gap (Michele is 39, Green is 22, and they started dating when he was 21). Needless to say, their relationship became the subject of a lot of debate and discussion online, something that the actress and designer seems particularly annoyed with or confused by. Moreover, she took to her Instagram Story with a message for all the folks acting pressed over pictures of the two, be it for their fits or their gap.
“There is no picture or video on this app that could set me off in comments the way pics and videos of me do to people,” Draya Michele expressed. “It’s strange. I be wanting to know does your man, bestie, mom, employer know you just be serial typing negative s**t on here? Self evaluation–- what did that comment do for me? Anyway. I simply don’t look at things that upset me or could trigger me to spiral in a frenzy of negative thoughts. Try that.”
Elsewhere, Draya Michele announced the birth of her daughter with Jalen Green and paid tribute to her late father at the same time. “In 2021 on Mother’s Day, my dad passed away,” she expressed in an Instagram post. “Since then, it’s been extremely hard to celebrate that day without remembering the earth shattering phone call I received that morning. Well, this Mother’s Day was different. My daughter was safely brought into this world and I’m forever grateful for the new memories we all get to experience moving forward. Love + Light everyone.”
Meanwhile, Draya Michele’s post-pregnancy body also caught fans’ eyes as of late, adding to gossip and conversation around the couple. We can’t really guess how this will evolve in the future, but we’d say it’s more likely than not that people will keep commenting on anything they do. For the couple’s sake, hopefully they learn to block out the haters, take their criticism into serious account, or find a way to balance everything. Keeping up with critique can be exhausting, but let’s not pretend it should be difficult for celebrities.
In case you didn’t know, the Drake OVO brand is still very strong. Although the artist may have lost a rap battle to Kendrick Lamar, there are still millions of people who care about Drizzy’s next move. As we reported this morning, the artist has even placed his bets on both the NBA Finals and the Stanley Cup Finals. Interestingly enough, this is not the only work the megastar will be doing with the NBA throughout the upcoming series between the Mavericks and the Celtics.
According to Billboard, Drake’s OVO brand has come through with a new special edition varsity jacket with ESPN. This limited edition jacket is black and gold with numerous references to ESPN, OVO, and the Finals. Interestingly enough, only 175 of these were made, which means it is going to be exceptionally difficult to cop. Moreover, thanks to the quality of these jackets, and the exclusivity, you will have to shell out $700 to get one at retail.
For those who are interested in the jacket, you will be able to cop one as of this morning at 10 AM EST through the OVO App. You’re going to need to be prepared because these are going to sell out exceptionally fast. Only time will tell whether or not we see an abundance of these courtside in both Boston and Dallas over the next couple of weeks. Overall, these Finals are going to be a whole lot of fun.
Let us know what you think of this new jacket, in the comments section down below. Who do you believe is going to win the NBA Finals? Do you think that the Mavericks have what it takes? Or are the Celtics just too good of a team right now? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.
