Kid Cudi Unveils MOTR Fashion Line At Paris Fashion Week

by

Kid Cudi just debuted his MOTR fashion line at Paris Fashion Week on Friday (January 20). Moreover, the name stands for “Members of the Rage,” pronounced “motor” for short. Previously, the 38-year-old teased the event back in December, pointing to a unisex and boundary-pushing collection on the horizon.

However, Cudi wanted to start a fashion line about eight years ago, but felt “discouraged” by the process. While working on a sci-fi animated film in 2021, he revisited the idea. After losing Off-White founder, Louis Vuitton men’s artistic director, and good friend Virgil Abloh in the same year, he felt even more compelled.

“There is no way I could have designed this collection without thinking about him every single f***ing day,” he expressed to Vogue. “Every day, it was like, ‘What would Virgil do? What decision would he make and how would he handle his team? What type of vibe would he have in the office?’ Because he was the ideal designer, he was the template. He was nice, personable, open and friendly with people on his team, helped other people and lifted other people up, gave them opportunities, left the door open behind him.”

Furthermore, according to Vogue, the “GHOST!” artist held the presentation at a Paris showroom and showcased fall and winter pieces for the year. Moreover, it included polos, puffer vests, long skirts, leather jackets, grungy knitwear and furry coats. Also, there’s accessories and footwear such as fake fur caps, oversized sneakers, and a boom-box-like shoulder bag.

“I want people to feel like they’re walking on stage when they’re wearing this brand,” the Ohio native stated, “I want them to feel the feeling I get when I perform at Coachella, I want them to feel like superstars.

“I am kind of just putting my hands in the paint and just making stuff, just making what I think is cool and trying to just follow that vision,” he continued. “‘Is this something I would wear, that my friends would wear?’”

Regardless, what did you think of Kid Cudi’s new fashion line, MOTR? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, check back in with HNHH for the latest crossovers in music and fashion.

Beyoncé & Blue Ivy’s $24M Dubai Performance Videos Are Circulating Online

by

The BeyHive was more than ecstatic when their favourite vocalist dropped off her RENAISSANCE album last year. In the months since that project’s arrival, it’s been in constant rotation for many as they prepare for the mother of three’s upcoming tour. She won’t be hitting the road quite yet. However, Beyoncé did take to the stage for the first time in years this past weekend for a stunning live performance in Dubai.

The Austin Powers actress was recently hired for an hour-long set in the United Arab Emirates. Her show at the Atlantis The Royal hotel evidently brought in upwards of $24 million. While that’s an undeniably major flex, it’s worth noting that those numbers have no official confirmation.

As TMZ reports, ahead of Saturday’s (January 21) show, several videos surfaced online revealing the zip-up bags patrons were expected to keep their phones in during the performance. This has consequently become common practice for many comedians who prefer to keep their material fresh for each audience.

The venue was sharing a live stream prior to the show as well. Some of the footage even previously captured the audio of Beyoncé’s rehearsals. However, it was promptly shut off when the Houston native made her grand entrance, in hopes of preserving the luxurious show’s privacy.

Even with all the security measures, attendees still managed to capture clips of the “Telephone” hitmaker singing. She gave a rousing cover of Etta James’ “At Last” before carrying out classics of her own like “XO” and “Brown Skin Girl.”

For the latter, Blue Ivy Carter surprisingly joined her mother on stage. The two are no strangers to putting on a show together, and husband/father Jay-Z was in attendance in a private box, showing his support with a bird’s-eye view of the magic unfolding below.

Aside from her beautiful voice, the internet has also been gushing over Queen B’s incredible yellow dress. As per usual, she looked worth every single penny she was paid for the concert.

Check out more videos from Beyoncé’s Dubai performance below. Afterward, tell us if you plan to attend her forthcoming RENAISSANCE tour in the comment section.

Ice Spice & Offset Appear In Beyoncé’s Adidas Campaign

by

Ice Spice and Offset will appear in Beyoncé’s promotional campaign for her Ivy Park and Adidas collab, Park Trail. Moreover, it follows today’s drop of a Top Ten 2000 collab between Adidas and Ivy Park. In promotional shoots for the RENAISSANCE artist’s latest collection, Spice and Offset dress to impress.

Furthermore, this Park Trail line includes gender-neutral performance apparel items. Sequined jackets, faux fur coats, canvas tracksuits, performance tights, hoodies, sweaters, sweatshirts… you name it. Also, they chose quite an interesting color pallet to vary these pieces up with. They include forest green, lime green, cream white, indigo orange, purple, and a camouflage print. Still, let’s not forget the kicks.

Moreover, the line represents “trail-blazing expression of performance wear inspired by the resilience of the outdoors, the spirit of the streets, and the possibilities of the future,” according to a company statement.

While fans wait on new videos or shows from the R&B queen, her newest Ivy Park line is dropping on February 9th in Adidas stores and online. In addition, select retailers will put it up for sale on February 10th. However, that’s not all that excited fans about this drop. In promotional material for the new collection, Ice Spice, Offset, his son Kody, and other notable names such as Devon Aoki made appearances.

Still, both artists have much more to celebrate than some promo shoots with one of music’s dominant forces. The rising Bronx star just dropped her debut EP, Like…? to much buzz. As one of the most talked-about rappers working today, she’s reached the highest heights quite rapidly.

Of course, Offset is no stranger to these echelons. On his end, he just dropped his Hit-Boy collaboration, the track “2 LIVE.” Still, the Internet recently buzzed around him recently for comments Cardi B made about their relationship. Even though it’s been a rocky road, the two seem to be happier than ever.

Still, what do you think of Offset and Ice Spice assisting Beyoncé with promo for her new collection? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, check back in with HNHH for the latest in pop culture moguls, whether in fashion, music, or both.

Cardi B Shares Community Service Selfie: “Obey The Law”

by

One thing about Cardi B? She’s always going to manage to keep us laughing. Even though she’s in some legal trouble after failing to complete her 15-day community service sentence, the mother of two still got an extension from the judge – and was looking fabulous while doing it.

Earlier this month, the “Bodak Yellow” rapper found herself back in court. After pleading guilty to misdemeanour assault charges last fall, she had to complete half a month’s worth of public aid. It remains unclear specifically why she failed to meet the requirement. However, it’s been said that mourning Takeoff’s untimely death may have had something to do with it.

Thankfully, Cardi now has until March 1st to finish her sentence. If she failed to follow through this time, jail could be in the cards. Needless to say, the 30-year-old wasn’t willing to take that risk.

On Friday (January 20) morning, the Bronx baddie shared a mirror selfie flaunting her luxurious outfit of the day. Her long black hair is worn down in loose waves, and a ribbed, beige sweater hugs her curves. Bardi’s bottom half is clad with patchwork jeans and a pair of Margiela Tabi boots.

“Second day of community service,” she wrote in the caption. “Obey the law.” By the goofy look on the Grammy winner’s face, you can tell that she’s doing her best to make light of the situation.

While her Twitter feed has obviously been active today, it’s been a few days since Cardi posted on her Instagram. Earlier this week, she dropped off a photo dump that finds her in hot pink glam with glamorous honey-blonde hair.

Jason Lee appears in some of the later photos. The Invasion of Privacy artist is the first guest to appear on his new REVOLT podcast. During their interview, the fashionista got candid about her own plastic surgery journey, as well as what celebrities she’s gotten recommendations from.

Additionally, Cardi B revealed how she and Offset found out about Takeoff’s passing. Read more about that here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Ice Spice Roasted

In the tweet down below, the artist simply wrote “u wouldn’t get it.” Since coming onto the scene, Ice Spice has been setting her own trends, and that is not going to stop anytime soon.

Rihanna’s Sultry Savage X Fenty Selfie Streak Continues

by

If there’s one thing you can always count on Rihanna to deliver, it’s a thirst trap. There’s arguably never a bad time of year to post a thirst trap on your Instagram feed, but of course, there’s something about Valentine’s Day that puts an undeniable hint of romance in the air.

As is tradition, the Bad Gal’s lingerie brand, Savage X Fenty, unleashed its themed collection well ahead of the holiday so shoppers can take full advantage. Amidst this year’s pieces are patterns like Lovestruck, Living in the Clouds, and Rebel.

While she has plenty of beautiful pieces and inclusive bodies modelling the products on her site, it wouldn’t be an SXF drop if Rihanna didn’t pose in a few looks herself.

All through the weekend, the 34-year-old delivered a series of snaps that see her expertly showing off her curves. In some, she pairs peep-toe heels with a black lace jumpsuit complete with a chest cutout. Others see her sporting the Hotline pattern while arching her back on top of a glass table.

“Heartbreaker szn,” Rihanna captioned her most recent photo dump. In the first image, she squats while giving the camera a sultry glare – her long black hair blowing in the apparent breeze. Afterward, the new mother teases her followers with a flirtatious look at her backside, as well as a closer look at the outfit’s details.

If Valentine’s Day isn’t really your thing, fear not. The Savage X Fenty site has something for everyone this season, especially football fans.

As you may recall, Rihanna is due to take the stage at the upcoming Super Bowl Halftime show next month. It’s entirely possible that a celebrity guest could be joining her, though most details remain under wraps at this time.

Ahead of her performance, she’s been promoting her brand’s new Game Day collection, which includes boxers, hoodies, beanies, tube tops, and more.

Lori Harvey & Damson Idris Are Couple Goals In New Birthday Party Pics

by

In 2022, news of Lori Harvey’s sudden breakup with Michael B. Jordan nearly broke the internet. The two made their red carpet debut in the early months of the year. However, before Hot Girl Summer began, they went their separate ways. Since then, she’s largely been focusing on herself – but with a new year, comes new love.

Technically, rumours of the model’s flirtation with Snowfall star Damson Idris began circulating online in December of last year. At the same time, it was said that the 26-year-old allegedly has every man she dates sign an NDA that comes with a $1 million fine for any slip-ups.

Of course, it wasn’t long after the headlines were circulating that Harvey and Idris went out together in person. Ahead of the holidays, they met up for a date night in West Hollywood. Afterward, he was quick to gas up her stunning portrait on the cover of Essence magazine.

Within the accompanying profile, the Memphis-born beauty chiefly talks about wanting to create an identity for herself. She’s previously been in the headlines mostly for her dating life. In the past, she’s been linked to names like Future, Trey Songz, and Justin Combs, among others.

Even with her aforementioned comments, Harvey seems eager to let the world know about her latest lover. In celebration of her birthday on January 13, the English-born entertainer posted some sweet photos of his rumoured boo on his Instagram Story.

The social media starlet reposted them – along with countless greetings from other close friends – to her own page. Surprisingly, the romantic gestures didn’t stop there.

All weekend long, photos have been popping up online from Harvey’s birthday extraordinaire, which went down in West Hollywood. Friends like Lizzo, Justine Skye, Tyler, the Creator, and Kendall Jenner stepped out for the occasion, many of them posing for photos together.

On Sunday (January 15), the entrepreneur was feeling ready to recall her party’s events. Throughout her photo dump, we see several pictures of her and her new man, dressed to the nines as they spend the night in great company.

Rihanna Preps For Valentine’s Day With Sexy New Savage X Fenty Lingerie Campaign

by

2022 was primarily focused on Rihanna’s first pregnancy. In 2023 though, the new mother is proving to the world that she’s back and better than ever in all areas of her life. January has seen her putting in plenty of work, specifically for her upcoming Super Bowl Halftime show, but also for a certain romantic holiday that’s quickly approaching.

The Bad Gal has always been a fashion lover. That clearly comes through in each one of her Savage X Fenty collections. This year, she threw on some of the latest designs herself to model in a sultry campaign shoot. “Phuck yo roses,” she wrote in the caption of the tantalizing teaser.

Rocking a black lace jumpsuit with a large chest cutout, Rihanna strikes various poses for the camera. She expertly shows off her famous figure from the front and back, leaving no angle unflaunted. At the same time, we see glass smashing and hear almost robotic music playing.

In another image that was posted to the @savagexfenty Instagram account, the 34-year-old poses atop a glass table. In this image, she wears a similar look, though instead of lace, this one looks to be a multi-coloured pattern.

“Hot from e’ry angle,” the caption reads. “Get into our new VDay collection – on the site now.” As promised, the brand’s online store boasts everything from men’s pyjamas to lipstick print cozy sets. Prices begin around $35 CAD and only go up from there.

Of course, the Valentine’s Day collection isn’t the only thing Rihanna’s been promoting to her followers. To celebrate her forthcoming performance at the Super Bowl, Savage X Fenty is also selling merchandise to commemorate.

As HipHopDX notes, the Game Day collection boasts 17 different pieces such as hoodies, sweatpants, jerseys, beanies, boxers, and even a bandana.

The Barbadian is set to take to the stage on February 12 at Glendale, Arizona’s State Farm Stadium. This marks her first major performance since the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards when she took home the prestigious Michael Jackson Video Vanguard.

Are you excited to see what Rihanna has in store for us next month? Sound off in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

by

Allen Iverson discussed his style with GQ Sports for the outlet’s inaugural Style Hall of Fame issue, recalling a time he went jewelry shopping with Diddy and The Notorious B.I.G.

When asked about his personal style, the legendary NBA star explained, “It was built over time. I know it had a lot to do with the dudes that I grew up with. All throughout my life—and it still goes on today—we compete with dressing. Still.”

Later in the interview, he recalled getting his first NBA paycheck.

“I remember my teammates [at Georgetown] were telling me, ‘When you get your league money, maybe you gone get some jewelry like Pac got,’” he told the outlet.

He continued: “Pac had the Rolex and all that. Puff was another muhfucka I admired. The swag, how cool he was, the way he is and how big he got. We was using the same jeweler, Manny the Jeweler. I went with him and Big. We in there, getting whatever. But I’m using checks. I just remember Big using goddamn cash. Big-ass knots, know what I mean? He’s standing, he got on jean shorts, and you can see the big-ass muhfuckin’ knots in his goddamn pants. Pac was getting his stuff from Manny’s too. I actually bought the same ring that Pac had bought at Manny’s. And I remember seeing Puff one time after that, and he was like, ‘Whatchu doin’ with all my chains on?’ I’m like, ‘Now I can get in there and get busy like you can.’”

He also mentioned looking up to the members of Wu-Tang Clan.

Iverson played in the league for 14 seasons from 1996-2010. He won the NBA Most Valuable Player award in 2001.

Check out Allen Iverson’s appearance in the GQ Sports Style Hall of Fame issue below. Other athletes showcased by the outlet include Deion Sanders and Derek Jeter.
