Tyler, The Creator Taps Lil Yachty For le FLEUR* Season 2 Commercial: Watch

by

Tyler, The Creator isn’t just one of music’s most visionary minds right now; his talents extend far beyond his biggest passion. Moreover, he recently released a commercial promoting the second season of his le FLEUR* luxury brand, an offshoot of his Converse collaborations and his Golf Wang brand. In the clip, the Hawthorne, California native stars as one of many crash-stricken bus passengers, all of whom are wearing the stylish and stunning new pieces for this drop. If you watch the video below and are interested in copping something, items from the collection will be available in select brand stores on Saturday (December 9), whereas it will fully be available online the following Wednesday (December 13).

However, one of the most notable parts of this ad is who else rode with Tyler, The Creator in that bus. At one point, the promo clip shows his good rap friend, the one and only Lil Yachty, in his new clothes. It’s quite the lavish but unsurprising link-up, as both artists expressed a lot of admiration for each other over the past year or so. Hopefully this isn’t the last fashion crossover that we see from them.

Tyler, The Creator’s le FLEUR* Season 2 Ad With Lil Yachty: Watch

What’s more is that Lil Yachty isn’t the only rap star to shout out the former Odd Future frontman recently. For example, Offset recently revealed to GQ how he influenced his solo album. “It was a year ago, at the Roc Nation brunch,” he said of his interaction with Tyler, The Creator. “I was telling him my vision of being a standout artist and a solo artist and reinventing myself. I was glorifying him, telling him, ‘I respect how you stay in character [for each album].’ He was like, ‘You should do it, too. N***as ain’t going to f**k with it at first, but n***as never f**k with the good s**t first. They always sleep on it, and then you show them throughout the process.’ I really took that s**t to head.”

Meanwhile, when it comes to the rap game, the Let’s Start Here creative is currently drumming up some controversy for his comments on negativity within it. It’s one of a few blasted statements he recently made on the culture right now, and it’s inspired a lot of debate. One thing’s for sure, though: these two stars love hip-hop, and despite doing so much more than just that genre and music in general, they are never afraid to speak their mind on it and push for higher quality– both within themselves, within each other, and with every other artist. For more news and the latest updates on Lil Yachty and Tyler, The Creator, stay posted on HNHH.

ASAP Rocky Stars In Latest Bottega Veneta Campaign

by

ASAP Rocky is the star of Bottega Veneta’s Pre-Spring 2024 campaign, which he labeled “genius” in a post on social media, earlier this week. For the collaboration, Rocky uses photos from a recent run-in with TMZ, among other candid “everyday lifestyle” pictures to promote the brand’s clothing.

“Throughout history, there has always been a funny relationship between photographers and celebrities,” Rocky captioned the series of photos. “Even down to the rights and the usage of photos, and the tabloid hustle, there’s always seemed to be a disconnection between famous people and the photographers who follows & film them. While certain celebrities call paparazzi on themselves, other celebrities might get confrontational with photographers. While a very small few, such as myself, don’t mind, as long as they post the good angles, of course.”

From there, Rocky labeled the campaign “genius” and an attempt to blend celebrity with everyday living. “So, in good light of good angeled [sic] photos, myself and the creative minds @ #BOTTEGAVENETA thought it would be genius to bridge the gap and utilize my every day lifestyle type photos taken by candid photographers while I do my everyday thing,” he continued. “So this serves less as a campaign and more as a creative trifecta brought to you by Bottega Venetta’s Matthieu Blazy, myself A$AP Rocky, and the talented tabloid style photographers involved. Cheers & thank u.” Check out the full post on Instagram below.

Angela Simmons Stuns Onstage With Yo Gotti

by

During one of his recent performances in Charlotte, Yo Gotti invited his girlfriend Angela Simmons to join him onstage. The NYC native certainly made the most of her appearance, proudly waving to the crowd and blowing kisses as she made her entrance. She posed for a few moments before hugging the rapper and heading off stage.

The designer rocked a skin-tight black jumpsuit, which she complemented with the CMG chain gifted to her by her man at the beginning of this year. Fans, of course, went wild for her appearance, as the duo continues to be one of the sweetest couples in the world of hip hop. This isn’t the first time Yo Gotti invited his other half to join him onstage on his Gangsta Art tour, however. Earlier this month, she made another appearance while he performed his 2016 hit “Down In the DM,” stunning in an eye-catching red dress.

Angela Simmons Joins Yo Gotti At Recent Show

He shared a moment from her appearance on Instagram, showing his love for her in his caption. “Still [heart emoji],” he captioned the clip. His comments section is flooded with fans praising him for how well he appears to treat Simmons. After all, she’s inspired plenty of his songs, so it only seems appropriate for the audience to get a glimpse at who he’s been rapping about for all these years.

The pair first publicly confirmed their relationship in January, kicking off the new year as an item. Clearly, as they approach the one-year mark, things between them only continue to heat up. What do you think of Angela Simmons joining Yo Gotti onstage at his recent show? Are you a fan of her black jumpsuit? Should he bring her out at more of his performances? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Travis Scott Drops Audemars Piguet Merch For Those Who Can’t Afford His $200K Collab

by

Travis Scott is one of the biggest artists in all of rap right now. Overall, he is someone who has dropped a plethora of phenomenal albums. Of course, Rodeo, Astroworld, and even Utopia are all albums that have increased his cache. If you have followed his career, then you know that he has collaborated with a ton of brands over the years. For instance, Nike, Jordan Brand, McDonald’s, Fortnite, and even Dior are all established entities he has linked up with. Now, he has added another brand to his long list.

Last week, we reported on how Scott was teaming up with none other than Audemars Piguet. The rapper came up with a Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar with all sorts of Cactus Jack branding. However, seeing as though this is AP, you can imagine the watch costs a lot of money. In fact, it is $200K which is a pretty penny. Not everyone can afford that kind of piece, so it should come as no surprise that the rapper decided to also come out with some Audemars Piguet x Cactus Jack merch.

If you are wondering what the merch pieces are, well, you will be pleased to know there are more than a few options. There are t-shirts, sweaters, leather bomber jackets, and even hats. Overall, the prices are a wide range as a hat will run you $60. Meanwhile, if you want to go all out and get yourself the jacket, well, that will run you almost $2k. This is Audemars Piguet, you couldn’t expect everything to be inexpensive. In terms of the color schemes here, everything is mostly brown, which is to be expected from anything Scott at this point.

Offset Michael Jackson Tattoo Questions Annoy Late Singer’s Daughter Paris: “It’s Not Really My Business”

by

As the daughter of Michael Jackson, Paris has known since birth what it’s like to have all eyes on her. Thankfully, she’s now a pro at handling potentially sticky situations with grace, especially in the public eye. After a recent run-in with TMZ, the Swarm actress quickly used her social media platform to prevent her comments about another celebrity’s body art from being taken out of context. According to Jackson, the outlet asked her about Offset’s tattoo tribute to her late father during their latest encounter, and she wasn’t comfortable discussing another person’s body.

Rather than taking the opportunity to gossip, the 25-year-old told the reporter (who she clarified is always friendly during their interactions) that she’s not “really like in the business of commenting on what other people do with their bodies because it’s none of [her] f**king business.”

Paris Jackson Gets Ahead of the Blogs After Answering Offset Question

When explaining her reason for sharing the news, Jackson added, “I just figured this was going to pop up in the next day or two, so I wanted to steal TMZ‘s headline from them so that it’s not news anymore.” With any luck, other stars will begin to take the same approach and take their power back from media outlets misconstruing their words. Offset has yet to comment on the situation, and we’re curious to see if he will.

While TMZ is still talking about Offset’s tattoo tribute to MJ, the rest of the internet is concerned about the status of his relationship with Cardi B. The “Jealousy” collaborators have been throwing subliminal signs about a breakup, or at least trouble in paradise, on social media, and we’re burning to know if it is legitimate, or simply a ploy to distract the Barbz from streaming Pink Friday 2 when it lands later this month. Read more about the couple’s drama at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Chloe Bailey’s Hairdresser Stuns Social Media As “In Pieces” Artist Debuts Short Style: Photos

by

When it comes to her sense of style, Chloe Bailey seems to prefer outfits that make her feel grown and sexy. Some who have been following her from a young age take issue with this transition in her wardrobe, but real fans are here for every era we’ve seen from the Atlanta-born artist so far. We know that both Bailey sisters love their locs – Halle even incorporated hers into her role as The Little Mermaid earlier this year – but that doesn’t always afford them the ability to try out other styles. Thankfully, they’ve got a stylist on deck who’s a pro at temporarily hiding their famous inches so they can switch things up for a night or two.

For her latest public appearance, Chloe was asked to sing at the Kennedy Center in celebration of the iconic Dionne Warwick. Perfectly on theme as always, the “Pray It Away” hitmaker somehow hid her long locs under a short black wig that beautifully pays homage to timeless beauties of the past. It’s a far cry from how we usually see Bailey, but still, the internet can’t help but commend her hairdresser for being able to pull off such a feat.

Chloe Bailey Hides Her Locs to Sport a Bold New Style

We obviously adore her hair, but the Swarm starlet’s pink ball gown is worth mentioning too. The blush colour makes her tan skin glow, and the simple silver accessories only add more understated glamour. “Timeless ✨. What an honour it was to sing and celebrate Dionne Warwick at the Kennedy Center in front of the President and many of my inspirations,” Bailey wrote on Instagram while commerating the special moment. “Unforgettable night. Can’t wait for you all to see ✨.”

While Chloe Bailey continues to impress us with one show-stopping performance after another, her little sister, Halle, continues to deal with constant pregnancy speculation. By now, it’s obvious that the 23-year-old doesn’t want to talk about whether she’s with child or not, despite the internet being very ready for that conversation. Read more about that at the link below, and let us know if you think Chloe managed to pull off her short black hair or not in the comments.

Lil Kim & Cardi B Comparisons Fly After Balenciaga Show, Latter Accuses Haters Of Photoshop

by

Even though she has yet to follow up her debut Invasion of Privacy album with a sophomore effort all these years later, Cardi B is still one of the world’s favourite rap divas. The Barbz might try to dispute that. However, the fact is, the New Yorker has been booked and busy nearly constantly in recent years, in virtually every creative industry. She has a few collaborative singles with people like FendiDa Rappa, Megan Thee Stallion, and her husband, Offset, and the fashion community has been keeping Cardi looking her best on red carpets and music video sets.

Elsewhere, Balenciaga convinced the 31-year-old to make her runway debut this past weekend, and unfortunately, it’s not being entirely positively received. Critics online are comparing Cardi’s unique makeup look from yesterday’s big event to the face of Lil Kim, who’s long faced criticism from outsiders for her past attempts to radically alter her appearance with plastic surgery. “Cardi going out sad… The Lil Kim way 🙄🤢 ,” one Twitter user wrote while comparing images of the two lyricists.

“Baby please tell me it’s the makeup making her nose look crimped up like that,” another person chimed in. When she saw the hate for herself, Bardi was quick to clear the haters. “It’s the photoshop,” she clapped back. “You know you gagged them too hard when the haters gotta start making edits.”

While Cardi B was strutting down the Balenciaga runway, plenty of famous faces were cheering her on from the front row. Among them were Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz, as well as Sexyy Red and Kim Kardashian. The stars were surely happy to see each other. Still, they didn’t impress social media users calling them out for supporting the fashion brand after its previous cancellation. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Lil Wayne & 2 Chainz Sit Front Row At Balenciaga As Celebs Face Backlash For Supporting Embattled Brand

by

Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz have been everywhere together lately. From the rollout of their long-awaited ColleGrove 2 LP to this weekend’s Balenciaga runway, we’ve been seeing (and hearing) plenty of the pair, and we’re certainly not mad about it. On Saturday (December 2), an abundance of our favourite stars were in Los Angeles for the Fall 24 runway presentation, including Sexyy Red, Kim Kardashian, Teyana Taylor, Salma Hayek, and Tracee Ellis Ross. Holding things down for the gentleman in the vicinity were the “Bandz A Make Her Dance” collaborators, who had the opportunity to sit in the front row.

From their prestigious spot, Chainz and Weezy were able to cheer on Cardi B as she made her runway debut. While seeing new fashion is always exciting, many social media users were shocked to see Balenciaga getting so much public support after being cancelled for endangering children just months ago. The brand released a campaign photographing underage people holding BDSM-clad teddy bears, much to the public’s shock and disgust. In the time afterward, it seemed as though the foreign company was done for good, but obviously, the opposite is true. As per usual, people have plenty to say about this, and they’re not holding back.

“‘Protect our children,’ also catch me wearing this new Balenciaga drip,” one Instagram user wrote under @theshaderoom’s post. “These celebrities don’t stand on s**t, especially when it comes to luxury brands.” Another brought Diddy’s name into the chat, writing, “Black people will cancel Sean John but will support white labels that hate them.

Megan Thee Stallion Thirst Traps In The Gym, On The Water, And Everywhere Inbetween

by

Megan Thee Stallion didn’t invent the art of the thirst trap, but she’s proved time and time again that she’s an expert in the field. Whether she’s selecting a sultry outfit to wear on stage, or posing for the camera while soaking up the sun on a boat, the Houston native always knows exactly how to capture our attention. On Saturday (December 2), she proved that she’s not letting the chilly weather stop her from showing skin, flaunting her noticeably slimmer figure in a series of snapshots posted to her Instagram.

Thee Stallion didn’t provide much of a caption to accompany her collection of selfies, but we think her body-ody-ody speaks for itself. As you may recall, her ex Pardison Fontaine claimed on his “THEE PERSON” diss track that the “Big Ole Freak” hitmaker underwent liposuction during their time together, and instead of admitting to the cosmetic procedure, she allegedly began posting up in the gym to claim the surgeon’s work as her own. Instead of responding, the black-haired beauty continues to flex her toned, flat stomach, allowing the internet to speculate while she focuses on herself.

To begin, she reminded us that brown is definitely her colour in a flirty mirror snapshot before furthering that evidence with a matching two-piece set in the next image. After that, Thee Stallion spent some time on a boat with her besties, brought out her boots with the fur, and once again reminded us how fiery she looks while throwing it back on stage – in case anyone forgot.

Elsewhere in the news, the third day of HNHH‘s Advent Calendar series brings forth a new interview with journalist Meghann Cuniff, who reflected on her experience covering the Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez trial with us (among other things).

Pharrell Previews Swae Lee & Rauw Alejandro Collab At Louis Vuitton Fashion Show

by

As Louis Vuitton’s creative director, you can expect Pharrell to take good care of the aux at its fashion shows. Moreover, he recently hosted one on Friday night (December 1) to show off his new collection for the brand, and was joined by some special guests. Most notably, Swae Lee– the superstar who formed Rae Sremmurd with his brother– and Rauw Alejandro– the Puerto Rican superstar making waves for his sci-fi-inspired take on reggaetón– had a great time at the show, sitting in the runway’s front row. Not only that, but Skateboard P actually previewed a collaboration between the two.

Furthermore, Pharrell played the unreleased team-up as the models strutted their stuff. Swae Lee and Rauw Alejandro mime-performed their own verses, and then stood up together to dance, sing along, laugh, and show off each other’s fits. It’s unclear whether the “At The Party” producer actually made this beat, which is a cohesive fusion of reggaetón, R&B, and dancehall stylings. We can safely assume he did, not just because of the circumstance of the premiere, but because it’s a pretty awesome groove, too.

Rauw Alejandro & Swae Lee Dance To Their Collab At Pharrell’s LV Show: Watch

Of course, Pharrell has a long and legendary history of collaborating with amazing artists to make timeless music. However, it’s something that he’s pretty humble about when comparing himself to his other producer friends, and we had a wholesome example of that with Timbaland recently. While they attended Swizz Beatz’s birthday dinner together, they debated over who has the better team-up tracks with Jay-Z. Rather than argue for themselves, they argued for each other’s catalog, which is a camaraderie that’s rare to see in today’s competitive environment.

Meanwhile, there’s also a lot of speculation about what Mr. Williams will drop next when it comes to music. Recently, he suggested that N.E.R.D. could be coming back to release new material, which obviously got fans very excited. Hopefully we get some news about this soon, and we can get our hands on this full jam between these entertainers. On that note, stay logged into HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Pharrell, Swae Lee, and Rauw Alejandro.
