Janelle Monae Becomes The Grinch In Stunning Costume

December 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Janelle Monáe is bringing a whole new meaning to the holiday spirit, as they’re quite literally wearing it on their face. Moreover, they shared a new video of them donning a full costume of The Grinch that looks like it could’ve appeared in a live-action film of it. It’s unclear whether the singer and actress will use this fit for something grander or if they just wanted to pop off and go a little bit harder on the “a very extra Christmas” front. Either way, the results certainly speak for themselves, and we can’t imagine what they might do as an on-screen Grinch. After all, the Kansas City native is intertwining the worlds of movies and music more than ever these days.

Whether this Grinch outfit is for a video, some promo material, or just for fun, we’re glad that they’re celebrating with style and joy. This was an excellent year for Janelle Monae: their album The Age Of Pleasure, while not as conceptually daunting as previous work, still ranks as one of 2023’s best, waviest, and most soothing auditory offerings. In addition, they also caused a lot of noise with their tour and proudly stamped their identity into the industry as always. Hopefully 2024 yields even more great things in whatever artistic lane will be tackled next.

What’s more is that Janelle Monae is also sharing this joy and excitement with plenty of other musical icons. For example, they recently tore it up at the club with Victoria Monét and Teyana Taylor, and the chemistry between these creatives is truly special. Not only are they all accomplished as directors and world-builders, but you’d be hard-pressed to find folks who do it as stylishly as them. Even when they just go out to have fun, these artists never fail to impress and captivate with their presence.

Meanwhile, the 38-year-old recently performed with Usher at a Las Vegas show, an unlikely but very welcome crossover. That shouldn’t have surprised us, though; they often collaborate with so much diverse talent. Fingers crossed for even more special team-ups in the new year.

Cardi B Disses Offset While Throwing It Back As He Debuts New Piercing: “F**k My Baby Dad”

December 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Cardi B and Offset have created a luxurious life that many others envy since first collaborating on “Lick,” but now, it seems that’s all coming to an end. We’ve previously seen the couple at odds due to the Atlanta native’s infidelity, but they were thankfully able to patch up issues that nearly led to a divorce. After losing Takeoff in late 2022, things have been particularly difficult for Set, seemingly leading to tension between him and his other half.

Because their drama began to unfold around the same time that Nicki Minaj began her Pink Friday 2 rollout, Barbz believe the “Clout” rappers are taking the opportunity to steal the spotlight from the Queen of Rap. However, weeks after the album’s drop, Bardi and her husband continue to spend time apart. Both are making major changes to their appearance, such as the new dermal piercing the father of five is sporting in the video below.

As for the former stripper, she’s changing things up by going with a much lighter hairstyle than usual. Cardi even added blue contacts for her latest outing, making her look more like a Barbie doll than ever before. While out with friends in the club, she was twerking up a storm, even yelling out “F**k my baby daddy” while throwing it back in front of the camera. Set has yet to respond to the comment, but to be fair, he had his fun and left Kulture and Wave’s mom in her feelings while celebrating his birthday recently.

Nicki Minaj & Cardi B’s Blonde Battle Continues, Latter Shops At Balenciaga On Mystery Admirers Dime

December 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Nearly every femcee standing centre stage in the rap game right now has collaborated with the fashion world in some capacity. However, few of them are making bold statements with their outfits the way Cardi B has since her come-up. Interestingly, her “MotorSport” collaborator Nicki Minaj seems to think the New Yorker is taking one too many pages from her book. For her latest transformation, Bardi swapped out her signature jet black hair for a long, platinum blonde wig, which she paired with a stunning white fur coat to film a clip for Instagram earlier this weekend.

Before long, the Barbz and even Minaj pointed out that the Queen of Rap previously stepped out in a similar style. “B**ches Jackin. I’m still Queenin,” she wrote in her caption on Saturday (December 23). In both photos, the mother of one’s hair sits in a shoulder-length 613 style, bringing out the golden tones in her complexion more than usual. Of course, Nicki isn’t the first lyricist to style herself like this either, but her fans seem to enjoy stressing Cardi out by drawing comparisons between the two women.

The “Bodak Yellow” lyricist addressed the situation in a rant yesterday, making it clear that the fur coat is an “archive” piece she’s had in her closet for ages. While she sounded upset at the time, it seems a trip to the Balenciaga store was all it took to adjust Cardi’s attitude.

“I’m not going to lie to you, when I got to the Balenciaga store, there was some items picked up,” Cardi B told her bestie from off camera. “Somebody knew I was going [shopping there],” she added, noting that besides the pre-selected gifts, they also left their card on file for her to purchase whatever she wanted.

Lil Uzi Vert Reiterates Musical Retirement, Announces Pivot To Fashion Design

December 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Lil Uzi Vert has reiterated their plan to retire from music after Luv Is Rage 3. Speaking with TMZ, Uzi said that they still love making music but have lost their love for the craft itself. However, Uzi did not that their retirement would not be official until they released Luv Is Rage 3 and filmed a video for “Everybody”, their collab with Nicki Minaj on Pink Friday 2.

Furthermore, Uzi revealed that they plan to pivot from music to fashion design, speaking excitedly about their grand plans for a women’s clothing line. While Uzi didn’t reveal too much, they did note that construction is underway for the clothing company’s office.

Lil Uzi Vert’s Team Eager To Stop Retirement

However, Uzi’s team is very keen for the rapper not to retire. Their original retirement announcement was met with fierce opposition from their own camp. “Uzi, please don’t retire! Love, your Generation Now family. Love, your Diop Agency family,” read a billboard in Philadelphia’s Fashion District. Despite this, Uzi has had their heart set on retirement for most of this year. “No, relax. It’s okay. After Luv Is Rage 3, I guess I will go on another tour for Luv Is Rage 3. But after that, I wanna try to live a normal life,” Uzi told a concert in Chicago in November.

Meanwhile, Uzi has been leaving music in style. At a November show, they embraced their inner Rod Wave, jumping off a balcony into the crowd below. Uzi had been standing on the ledge in front of the VIP section, getting the crowd hyped. A couple of times, they leaned back and let the VIPs keep them upright. Then, Uzi carefully hopped over the balcony and jumped about five or six feet into the section below, briefly disappearing before bouncing back up and presumably heading for the stage. Of course, Wave has gotten a fair amount of backlash for the stunt. Many fans have accused him of “glorifying suicide” through it. However, Wave’s continued performance of the balcony jump shows how he feels about that line of thinking.

Cardi B’s Blonde Hair Causes Controversy, She Denies “Watching B**ches” To Copy Them

December 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Even if she does follow Charlamagne Tha God’s advice to forego releasing her sophomore album, Cardi B will still find a way to stay in the spotlight. The mother of two became a popular stripper before she blew up on the hip-hop scene, and she’s now established herself as a prominent figure in the fashion world while also adding a few acting credits to her resume. As she navigates what seems to be another breakup with Offset, Cardi is making some changes to her appearance – namely switching out her signature, jet black hair for a platinum blonde wig that’s brought forth renewed confidence in the femcee.

Earlier this weekend, Bardi’s Instagram Story lit up with new videos showing off her bold appearance change. In one clip, she wraps herself in a plush, white fur coat, carrying a small black purse and smiling at her reflection in the mirror. Elsewhere, the bodacious bombshell drops it low in a multi-patterned ensemble, proudly carrying a luxurious Birkin bag while strutting toward the camera. It’s always nice to see Cardi feeling herself, but it wasn’t long before the Barbz tried to break her down by accusing her of copying her latest look from Nicki Minaj.

In her usual fashion, Kulture and Wave’s mom didn’t hold back when responding to discourse about her. “It’s an archive piece in my f**king closet, shut the f**k up,” she said of the coat causing a stir online. “The f**k? Y’all always watching me, always tryna find some s**t. I don’t give a f**k about these b**ches like y’all be giving a f**k about me. I don’t watch these b**ches, b**ches can’t dress to me.”

Latto Dances On Stripper Pole At Her 25th Birthday, Poses With Live Tiger In Sexy Photos

December 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In just a matter of months, Latto’s 777 album will turn two. By now, her listeners are growing hungry for new music from the Atlanta-based lyricist, though she did tie them over with “Put It On Da Floor” in the summer, along with the single’s viral Cardi B remix. More recently we heard her getting into the Christmas spirit on “The Grinch Freestyle,” and before that, she and Jung Kook broke records thanks to their work together on “Seven.” For now, Latto looks to be sitting comfortably in her features bag. Even though solo music efforts are rare this fall, she’s making sure to keep the world talking with sultry thirst traps.

On Friday (December 22), the “Lottery” hitmaker celebrated her 25th birthday – an occasion which she marked with yet another sexy photoshoot. To commemorate a quarter century of life, Latto (born Alyssa Stephens) had a live tiger brought on location to pose with her. “Year of the tiger ” she wrote in her Instagram caption, even including behind-the-scenes clips of what it was like to be so close to the majestic striped creature while modelling vintage Roberto Cavalli.

When getting lit and entertaining partygoers on Friday evening, Latto kept herself the centre of attention, hopping on the pole to show off her dance moves. In her fuzzy, animal print two-piece set, the birthday girl confidently strutted, lifted herself up, and landed on the ground in perfect timing to shake her booty for everyone watching on. It’s obvious the blonde beauty was feeling herself, and everyone cheering on only made her more gassed.

Darius Jackson Posts Baby Leodis After Seeking Keke Palmer Restraining Order

December 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Darius Jackson and Keke Palmer began the year as a couple that fans were excited to hear more from as they navigated their journey into parenthood together. For the Chicago native, 2023 has helped her grow into the best, most confident version of herself, though we now know drama taking place with her baby daddy behind the scenes was holding her back from reaching even further greatness. The public found out about Jackon’s jealous tendencies when Palmer attended Usher’s Las Vegas residency and shared a romantic, theatrical moment with the R&B crooner.

Since then, the drama has only intensified, with cousin Keke filing a restraining order against Darius a few weeks ago. A judge granted her request after seeing evidence of the physical trainer putting his hands on his partner on numerous occasions. Interestingly, this week, Jackson hit back at his ex by accusing her of abuse in his restraining order filing, specifically noting instances of her choking and hitting him.

A post shared by Darius Daulton (@dvulton)

While waiting for his day in court with the 30-year-old, Jackson is keeping his growing following on Instagram up-to-date with his life. On Friday (December 22), he shared a new photo dump, beginning with a golden hour selfie, and an update on his weight (219.4 pounds) ahead of eating good this Christmas. We also see the young father looking dapper in a suit, posing in the mirror, and proudly holding his little boy.

While Leodis’ father focuses on his mental health this holiday season, the young boy’s mother, Keke Palmer, has some concerns of her own she’s addressing on social media. As more Black actresses are speaking out about pay disparity in Hollywood, the Jump In! actress is making it known that, while her Virgo sun loves being acknowledged for the hard work she puts in, it’s only because she has to that she stays so booked and busy. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Lil Yachty Shows Off New Outfit, Twitter Users Unleash Their Jokes

December 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Lil Yachty has been a bit of a fashion icon in the hip-hop world over the past few years. Overall, he is someone who likes to experiment with his outfits. He is a massive sneakerhead and loves to show off his kicks. Moreover, when it comes to hoodies, pants, and the like, he is always mixing and matching. His look has become iconic to him, and all of these years later, he still tries to switch it up and try something new. Although this may not always work out for him, he is certainly not afraid to get a reaction.

For instance, on Wednesday, Yachty took to social media with a photo of himself in a button-up shirt-jacket, as well as a beret. The beret is certainly a different look for Yachty, and many were quick to point that out. Overall, the outfit is pretty stylish and the artist looks great. However, that did not stop Twitter from doing its thing. In fact, one could say that everyone tried becoming a bit of a comedian here. That is usually what Twitter does, but this was certainly an instance worthy of note.

Lil Yachty Reveals His Fit

— CONCRETE BOY BOAT^ (@lilyachty) December 20, 2023

Essentially, everyone was comparing him to a Call Of Duty character from a previous entry in the series. Furthermore, others compared him to African military leaders and even heads of state. For instance, one comparison that was made quite a bit is that of Thomas Sankara, who was the leader of Burkina Faso. There were plenty of other jokes made in this same vein, to the point where it dominated the Twitter timeline. That said, Yachty has a good sense of humor and he took it all in stride.

Megan Thee Stallion’s Bodysuit Highlights Her Curves To Perfection

December 19, 2023 by newhiphopnews

If there is a word to define Megan Thee Stallion’s 2023, it would be resiliency. The Texas femcee has been dealing with a lot of personal bouts over the past year or so, obviously. Her debacle with Canadian rapper Tory Lanez can be assumed as a traumatic moment. On top of that, her relationship with fellow rapper Pardison Fontaine was rocky, to say the least. Over the last couple of days, both have been discussing the issues of infidelity and poor communication publicly.

Pardison even made a song addressing her on “Thee Person” last month. But, before that, we found all of this out through Megan’s powerful single “Cobra.” It was her first solo single in over a year and was a total redirection for her sound. It was raw, emotional, and exciting all wrapped into one. It received tons of praise from the entire rap community.

Now, she is looking to build on all of this strength and confidence. Megan seems to be doing just that in her latest Instagram dump. In the series of photos, she is rocking a black, brown, gray, and white bodysuit. It reveals just enough without going over the top. It is certainly stunning as many were hyping her up in the comments. One says, “They really not messing with you in the face & body department ” Another goes, “Body tea, hair is luscious, face card never decline, and she super sweet ”

What are your initial thoughts on Megan Thee Stallion’s photo dump on Instagram? Do you think she is poised for an even more successful 2024? Is “Cobra” still in your rotation? Is she the most fashionable female rapper in the game, why or why not? If not, who dresses better? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

JT Falls In Heels At City Girls Show, Yung Miami Saves The Day

December 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Besides being the strongest lyricist of the two City Girls, JT is also the rap diva with a fashion education that she uses to keep herself looking fly. Her taste certainly isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but that hasn’t stopped the Florida native from moving confidently on and off stage. During a recent performance, the “No Bars” hitmaker wore sky-high heels that unfortunately made her fall to the floor while performing on stage. Thankfully, her partner in rhyme Yung Miami was beside her to hype her up and get their show back on track.

In the clip below, JT seems to lose her footing as “Take Yo Man” blares over the speakers. After the City Girl awkwardly stumbles backward and recovers, we see Caresha Brownlee crossing over to help make sure she’s okay before getting back to spitting into the microphone. “I love how Miami went to help her and hyped her back up. Real friend shiii! ,” one Instagram user observed in @theneighborhoodtalk’s comments.

JT Might Tumble Sometimes, But She Always Gets Back Up

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

“The way I would’ve went backstage, gon head Caresha just finish it ,” someone else quipped, praising JT for not letting a small fall embarrass her. As we move into 2024, it’s unclear exactly what the “Act Up” artists are planning to share with their fans, though the 31-year-old has hinted at her desire to release more solo music as she continues to grow as an artist.

At this point in their careers, Yung Miami and JT are no strangers to criticism from hip-hop heads. Still, they never let the bad attitudes of others get them down – instead, they use it to fuel their fires and become even better at their craft.
