Kanye West & Bianca Censori Fend Off Allegations With Power Couple Photoshoot

October 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West and Bianca Censori still seem as strong as ever, even if they haven’t directly addressed rumors of their divorce to the general public. Despite that speculation, they continue to go out together and flaunt their relationship for the cameras, including a recent photoshoot of the couple. In it, Ye dons a black jacket and dark grey jeans, whereas his wife wore a simple black bra and a large, light-colored gown from the waist down. It’s oddly reminiscent of the VULTURES 1 album cover, except you can actually see their faces this time around. It’s unclear when these pictures were taken, but if you want a peep, check them out by clicking the “Via” link down below.

However, another headline swirling around Kanye West right now concerns the various lawsuits against him, both of which allege sexual assault. At press time, it seems like he hasn’t responded to these allegations, whether in court through a legal filing or publicly. Many out there expressed staunch condemnations of this, but others like Dame Dash represented more leniency. “No matter what, Kanye is my brother,” he said on the American Nu Network. “So I’m going to always hope that what’s said is not true, as a person that’s been accused of sexual assault and went through a whole trial and got the press of the accusation… You know, I would have questions.”

Nevertheless, it looks like Kanye West has no plans to slow down amid these narratives. He recently revealed the cover art for his next album Bully, which will apparently be much more of a solo effort than most Ye albums. Maybe the Chicago artist will speak on these rumors and allegations on wax. But we wouldn’t bet on it.

Meanwhile, other recent pictures of Kanye West caused fans to hope that he feels better these days, as he looks quite rejuvenated. Perhaps that’s just confirmation bias or a massive reach from just some snapshots, but we don’t blame fans for holding out hope. It’s been a rough few years, but at least it looks like Bianca Censori is still by his side.

Travis Scott Announced As ComplexCon’s Artistic Director

October 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Complex recently announced that Travis Scott will have a much larger role for their ComplexCon in Las Vegas on November 16 and 17 than we originally thought. They already announced him and his Cactus Jack collective as headliners for Sunday (November 17), preceded by his good friends Playboi Carti, Opium, and Metro Boomin on Saturday (November 16). However, it turns out that La Flame is now the Artistic Director for the event as a whole, per a press release that details the moves below. He will curate the music, art, and streetwear extravaganza with his Cactus Jack brand, which will also bring exclusive merch designs and, more likely than not, sneaker drops and other collabs.

Not only that, but Travis Scott will bring “CactusCon” to life for Complex‘s event even when folks visiting the festival are chilling in their hotel. The Resort World will transform into “Cactus Jack Hotel,” and ComplexCon will also seemingly immerse itself into his universe. What’s more is that the Houston superstar has more accolades and achievements on the way. BET will honor him with the “I Am Hip-Hop” award at the 2024 BET Hip-Hop Awards, which will air very soon this month.

“Travis Scott is a visionary artist who continues to push the boundaries of music, culture, and live performance,” BET‘s Executive Vice President of specials, music programming, and music strategy, Connie Orlando, shared in a statement. “With his unmatched creativity and relentless passion, he has redefined what it means to be a captivating, inspiring entertainer within the hip hop genre. We look forward to celebrating him at BET Hip-Hop Awards 2024.” With all this in mind, it seems like Travis will close out another great year with a festival following his and Complex‘s vision, which is a fitting celebration.

Meanwhile, Travis Scott is also expanding his already huge resumé thanks to a modeling gig at a VETEMENTS fashion show for Paris Fashion Week. We wonder whether or not we will see him on the runway again in the future. Either way, there’s a lot coming up for Cactus Jack fans to celebrate and enjoy.

Pharrell And ASAP Rocky Will Serve As Co-Chairs For The 2025 Met Gala

October 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Pharrell and ASAP Rocky are among several celebrities who will serve as co-chairs for the upcoming 2025 Met Gala. The Metropolitan Museum of Art announced the group as well as the event’s theme on Wednesday afternoon. Rocky and Pharrell will be joined by Lewis Hamilton, Colman Domingo, and Anna Wintour as co-chairs with LeBron James serving as an honorary chair. The title of the event will be “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”

“The Costume Institute’s spring 2025 exhibition will present a cultural and historical examination of the Black dandy, from the figure’s emergence in Enlightenment Europe during the 18th century to today’s incarnations in cities around the world,” the exhibition’s description reads. “… Historically, the term dandy was used to describe someone—often a man—who is extremely devoted to style and approaches it as a discipline. Dandyism was initially imposed on Black men in 18th-century Europe as the Atlantic slave trade and an emerging culture of consumerism created a trend of fashionably dressed, or dandified, servants.”

The announcement for Pharrell comes ahead of the release of his highly-anticipated new film, Piece by Piece, which hits theaters later this week. The animated biographical film will tell the story of Pharrell’s life and career through Legos. Gwen Stefani, Kendrick Lamar, Timbaland, Justin Timberlake, Busta Rhymes, Jay-Z, and Snoop Dogg all lent their voices to the project.

ASAP Rocky, on the other hand, is preparing for the release of his highly-anticipated fourth studio album, Don’t Be Dumb. He originally planned to drop back in August but delayed the project. Be on the lookout for further updates on Pharrell and Asap Rocky as well as the 2025 Met Gala on HotNewHipHop.

Megan Thee Stallion Flaunts Her Figure In New Instagram Thirst Trap

October 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Megan Thee Stallion might have a new mixtape coming soon, but that doesn’t mean she’s ignoring her Instagram feed in the meantime. Moreover, she recently treated fans to some new hot shots in an all-black ensemble comprised of a tight button-up, leggings, and new short hair. The Houston femcee had folks like SZA, Halsey, and more thirsting for her in the comments section. With how defined her figure looks in the photos, it’s not hard to see why. Also, Tina Snow’s always been a big sharer online, so these are just the results of her many workout videos and life updates.

But elsewhere, fans are dragging Megan Thee Stallion into seemingly unrelated scenarios, such as Nicki Minaj’s recent denial that she got Megan’s former best friend Kelsey Harris to model for her shoe line amid their beef. “The fact that @TheShadeRoom posted this LIE 5 days ago & im just now finding out,” Nicki Minaj wrote on Twitter on Sunday (October 6). “chiiiiii LOL!!!!!!! I love being booked & busy. ‘Models for my collection’? She posted a photo in my sneakers. Me, nor my company knew anything about it until she posted it.

Megan Thee Stallion’s Latest Thirst Trap

“So she did what many ppl did when they received my sneakers, they posted a photo in them,” Nicki Minaj continued about Megan Thee Stallion’s former friend. “Kelsey def went all the way out with this professional looking backdrop tho. But she is in no way professionally connected to my sneaker brand. No matter what yall pay the Shaderoom to post, plz remember that I did a sold out record breaking tour. And was then ASKED to do a 2nd leg. Too busy & too successful for the clownery. […] Btw, did Kelsey not tell them she wasn’t modeling for the line barbz? Did she just let them think that? I gotta get caught up yall.”

Meanwhile, an upcoming documentary series on Megan Thee Stallion should give fans an interesting insight into her many endeavors. Whether it will hit with fans obviously remains to be seen, but we’d bet on it being a compelling look. Let’s see what other Instagram antics Meg gets into, whether they’re sultry or not.

Nicki Minaj Claims She Never Hired Kelsey Harris Amid Megan Thee Stallion Beef

October 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion had a pretty nasty falling out earlier this year after a long history of subliminals and tension. Moreover, things became complicated – as rap beefs tend to evolve – thanks to the associations of each femcee and how they combated each other. For example, fans expressed shock and curiosity when Kelsey Harris, Meg’s former best friend, promoted Nicki’s shoe line on the Internet. Many took this as a direct dig at Thee Stallion, but the Trinidadian spitter recently took to Twitter to clear the air and elaborate on how she isn’t as petty as some fans assumed.

“The fact that @TheShadeRoom posted this LIE 5 days ago & im just now finding out,” Nicki Minaj tweeted on Sunday night (October 6). “chiiiiii LOL!!!!!!! I love being booked & busy. ‘Models for my collection’? She posted a photo in my sneakers. Me, nor my company knew anything about it until she posted it. So she did what many ppl did when they received my sneakers, they posted a photo in them. Kelsey def went all the way out with this professional looking backdrop tho…but she is in no way professionally connected to my sneaker brand.

Nicki Minaj Speaks On Kelsey Harris

“No matter what yall pay the Shaderoom to post, plz remember that I did a sold out record breaking tour. And was then ASKED to do a 2nd leg,” Nicki Minaj continued. “Too busy & too successful for the clownery. These calculated, planned stories & narratives everytime yall gotta promote is only make me feel even more like I’m that B!CH!!!!! no confidence in your talents & abilities as labels to sell albums or ANYTHING. So you waste money & energy on this. #GagCityMIAMI TONIGHT!!!! Btw, did Kelsey not tell them she wasn’t modeling for the line barbz? Did she just let them think that? I gotta get caught up yall. lol chiiiiiii WOO WEE!!!!!!!! BOOF ON. MAKEUP CHAIR.”

Meanwhile, another Nicki Minaj-related debunk emerged recently. Cardi B clapped back at folks who claimed she was stealing her memes. That seems like quite the ridiculous thing to argue over, but then again, there’s a lot of history making these small rifts loom large.

Jay-Z Flexes A $3 Million Richard Mille Watch At Beyonce’s Sir Davis Whiskey Event

October 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

At Beyoncé’s Sir Davis whiskey launch in Paris, Jay-Z couldn’t help but flex his cash status that much more than the other stars present. Baller Alert recently reported on the one-of-a-kind Richard Mille watch that he wore to the event, which is worth $3 million. It’s an RM 66 Flying Tourbillion in red-orange sapphire, a model dedicated to rock and roll thanks to its depiction of a gold human skeleton hand forming the “horns” gesture. It’s Hov’s third commissioned piece from Richard Mille following his two custom RM models in blue and green sapphire, respectively. Neck and wrist don’t lie…

As for those previous watches, Jay-Z rocked the Richard Mille 56-01 Tourbillon Green Sapphire and his Richard Mille 056, “The Blue Print.” He’s an avid timekeeper fanatic, a true luxury chronometry nerd, and whatever other fancy words you can come up with to describe an obsession with tiny wrist clocks. We cna’t say we blame the New York legend. But he has other financial matters to attend to. Dame Dash’s auction of his Reasonable Doubt shares continues to be a contentious battle within the Roc and with the city of New York.

However, according to one Jaguar Wright, Jay-Z should one day sell these watches to cover settlement payments and legal fees. She’s been very vocally advocating for the acknowledgement of his alleged crimes, making Diddy-associated claims against him and calling him out for his silence amid that scandal. While these are all just allegations at the end of the day, it doesn’t deter other folks from wanting some form of address from the Roc Nation boss as for Sean Combs’ various allegations and federal case.

Meanwhile, another issue that Jay-Z remains quite tight-lipped about is this whole Super Bowl halftime show controversy. Does he have the sole say in who gets the headlining spot or not? Should Lil Wayne have headlined next year’s event in New Orleans instead of Kendrick Lamar? The takes are endless. Maybe it’s only a matter of time before Jay pops out with a public statement of any kind. He should probably check his $3 million Flying Tourbillion to follow up on that…

Adin Ross Shows Loyalty To Drake By Selling His Watch That LeBron James Also Owns

October 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

One of the oddest and most speculative byproducts of the whole Kendrick Lamar versus Drake battle is everyone else that suddenly found themselves in the middle of it. We’re not talking about the other rap beef opponents such as Future and Rick Ross, though. Rather, we’re talking about the other celebrities that “picked a side” based on who they showed love to, where they went, and how these folks are interacting online. This is especially true for the Toronto superstar based on just how high-profile he is with his famous friends. For example, he unfollowed LeBron James after months of speculation that the NBA star is more Team Kendrick.

Still, even an IG unfollow – which is practically Drake’s way of making a press release and solidifying his real-life bonds – isn’t enough to confirm this. After all, LeBron James warmed up to his music just fine the other day. But Adin Ross isn’t taking any chances, cutting all associations with the former Cleveland Cavalier. However, he chose to start this process in a pretty odd way. The streamer is selling his Audemars Piguet watch (worth between $450K and $500K) because he owns the same one that LeBron does, and doesn’t want that link to stick around.

Adin Ross Picks Drake Over Lebron James

“I’ll just tell you guys the truth,” Adin Ross said on his livestream. “I’m selling this piece ’cause LeBron has this piece and Drake unfollowed Bron. There. That’s the reason why I’m doing it. I don’t care. Michael Jordan’s better.” Of course, some fans flamed him while others rode just as hard, if not harder, for OVO. One of the things that critics brought up, though, is that Bronny James apparently boosted Ross’ popularity, so this is an ironically disloyal show of loyalty in their eyes.

Meanwhile, Adin Ross recently rode a little too hard for Drake, as he had to apologize to Los Angeles for some disrespectful comments to Kendrick Lamar affiliates. “I’m not necessarily apologizing to people I was talking towards,” he expressed. “But I do want to say one thing: L.A. is to not be f***ed with. L.A. is a serious place, and I love L.A. Seriously, I love L.A. Now, I’m not folding. I still say ‘F**k you’ to the people that were coming at me. F**k you.”

Beyonce Shows Off Her Curves For Underwear-Clad Levi’s Jeans Campaign

September 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Beyonce is following up a whiskey brand launch with even more brand collaborations to spread COWBOY CARTER across pop culture. This time around, it’s a Levi’s partnership in the form of a commercial that recreates one of the iconic denim company’s most well-known advertisements. Apparently, this is the first of various promo videos they will work together on. In this one, she takes inspiration from a 1985 ad in which a male model takes his jeans off and stone-washes them with rocks at a laundromat. Queen Bey swaps the rocks out for diamonds in this one and bares her underwear as onlookers’ jaws hit the floor.

However, even without all these extracurriculars, a lot of fans expressed disappointment recently over how Beyoncé didn’t get her due flowers for COWBOY CARTER. For example, the People’s Choice Country Awards did not give her any awards despite her 17 nominations, and many felt that the people missed the mark with this one. Regardless of whether you think the album became overrated or not, its success and impact could’ve merited at least one accolade. Alas, that certainly hasn’t slowed the Texas native down.

Beyonce’s Levi’s Ad

Back to this Levi’s jeans ad, though, Beyoncé’s “LEVII’S JEANS” with Post Malone soundtracked it to no one’s surprise. “My song ‘LEVII’S JEANS’ celebrates what I believe is the ultimate Americana uniform – something we all wear with pride,” she expressed via a press release. “I am honored to work with Levi’s® to create quintessential American iconography. Denim on denim has often been seen through a male lens, so this reimagining campaign, which celebrates the iconic female perspective, is important to me. I look forward to exploring innovative ways for our visions to align in empowering women and honoring their strength.”

Meanwhile, Levi’s stated that this Beyonce partnership will hopefully. “connect with our fans in new ways and supporting the growth of our women’s business as the definitive denim lifestyle brand.” She still faces some controversy and backlash here and there as a massive star, but there’s no denying that anything with her name on it has a big chance to captivate and resonate.

Cardi B Continues To Dismiss Offset Scandal With Another Gorgeous Paris Fashion Week Look

September 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cardi B is dealing with a social media firestorm right now due to her online spat with her ex husband, Offset. They accused each other of some pretty disrespectful and hurtful behavior, mainly cheating allegations from one side to another. However, any fan of either artist knows that this is far from the first time that they’ve clashed over these issues. Still, amid it all, the Bronx femcee is not acting bothered in the public eye. She pulled up to the Vivienne Westwood show for Paris Fashion Week this weekend in a colorful graffiti dress and fishnets, and fans can’t believe she had a baby just mere weeks ago.

Elsewhere, the hip-hop media world is reacting to the Cardi B and Offset drama, including Melyssa Ford on The Joe Budden Podcast. “I don’t believe it,” she argued. “Do I believe that there’s a possibility that there might have been some text exchanges that might be a little too colorful, and he’s made a huge assumption based on the texts? It’s quite possible, yes. But do I believe that she actually had sex with another man while she was pregnant? No, I don’t believe that for a single, solitary second. And also, I do believe that there is the potential that she allowed him to see those f***ing texts to let him think something as payback for all the bulls**t.”

For those curious, the latest update in this saga is a Cardi B pop-off on producer ATL Jacob after he allegedly shaded her. “P***y a** b***h stop playing with me,” she tweeted at him. “You a whole man and stop shading me when I don’t even know you. I got a n***a for you to square up with tho. If you really got an issue. Send your best b***h.”

Meanwhile, Cardi B also engaged in other extracurricular ventures to distract herself (or dismiss) the Offset situation. For example, she partnered with the WWE for an inaugural two-night Summer Slam event for next year. Hopefully the two can hash things out privately and at least lay off each other on social media. It might be notable and important to report on and discuss, but that doesn’t make the rift any less ugly.

Travis Scott Struts On The Runway For VETEMENTS’ Paris Fashion Week Show

September 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Travis Scott can now add “Hadid-endorsed runway model” to his resumé after his appearance during VETEMENTS’ 2025 Spring/Summer show for Paris Fashion Week on Friday (September 27). Moreover, he donned sunglasses and a shiny all-black ensemble with boots, kneepads, and an overall leathery presentation. The “Mo City Flexologist” rapper actually started the whole thing, returning later hand-in-hand with Gigi Hadid and his fit’s designer Guram Gvasalia. “This [is] runway s**t,” he told The People Gallery‘s Maurice Kamara when asked about his clothing. La Flame also gave style advice (“Be yourself always”) and said his favorite track at the moment is NLE Choppa and 41’s “Or What.”

Furthermore, Travis Scott has plenty of other reasons to celebrate these days. The tenth anniversary re-release of his DAYS BEFORE RODEO mixtape finally reached the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart a couple of weeks after it dropped. For those unaware, this project was locked in a nail-biting but well-fought race with Sabrina Carpenter’s Short N’ Sweet for a chart-topping debut. Sabrina won, but eventually, both massive artists got their due flowers.

Elsewhere, Travis Scott’s recent moves have fueled excitement around one of his closest artistic collaborators… And the rumors actually manifested. He was one of at least a couple of people (plus thousands of fans) to spread speculation that Kanye West will return soon with a new solo album. Well, Ye announced BULLY during his second VULTURES listening experience with Ty Dolla $ign in China this year. VULTURES 3 is still coming according to Ty, but it looks like there are multiple different projects to work on and anticipate now. We’ll see if the “Piss On Your Grave” duo returns for another collab on it… If this isn’t another Yandhi situation, that is.

All in all, it’s been a pretty good year for Travis Scott, and one that might get even better. His 2024 numbers put him in the top three of the most streamed rappers on Spotify of all time. Who knows what the records will show in a couple of years? If the Houston native maintains his momentum and superstardom, then he’ll stay at the top. Maybe some more modeling gigs can help!
