Issa Rae Serves Natural Body In Pink Ivy Park Bikini Amid “Barbie” Movie’s Massive Success

Issa Rae has come a long way from her Awkward Black Girl days. Her HBO series, Insecure, helped people fall in love with the multi-talent both on-screen and off. Now she’s continuing to flex her writing skills with her successful Rap Sh!t show. As we eagerly await the second season premiere of that next month, Issa’s fans have gotten their fix of her talent thanks to Barbie, which finally arrived in theatres on July 20. The 38-year-old appears alongside Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as the President of Barbieland. She previously admitted to taking notes on Vice President Kamala Harris’ behaviour for her role.

The highly anticipated movie’s press tour ended early due to the ongoing SAG strike. This allowed Issa to head back home and enjoy the summer sunshine. Like many of her castmates, she’s been wearing plenty of pink lately, with her most recent look coming from Beyonce’s Ivy Park collection. On Sunday (July 22), the Los Angeles native’s Instagram feed lit up with a new series of photos that show her sipping a drink by the pool in a brightly coloured, strappy bikini.

🏝 vacation brought to you by @weareivypark 🏝,” Rae wrote in her caption. In the comments, many are praising the entertainer for proudly flaunting her natural body – not to mention her performance in Barbie. It was revealed earlier today that the family-friendly flick is doing serious numbers.

According to a tweet from @PopCrave, Rae’s latest project has locked down the biggest domestic opening of 2023, biggest opening ever for a female director, and biggest opening for a movie based on a toy. In addition to that, it’s officially become the lead actors’ most successful opening in their careers to date.

Ice Spice Fan Appears To Faint During Her Rolling Loud Miami Set

Ice Spice recently took on Rolling Loud Miami, performing her hits to a crowd of eager fans. One fan, however, looked to get a little bit too excited. In a gag posted on Rolling Loud’s TikTok, a man frantically shouts in support of the rapper as she performs on stage. When she turns her back to the audience and begins to twerk, the man drops to the ground. The superfan appeared to pass out, and security flocked to him to fan him off. He’s then seen being carried away by personnel.

The 23-year-old performed her brand new track “Deli” for the first time over the weekend, dubbing herself “miss poopie” in some snaps from the fest. The rapper rocked a simple, cropped pink velour jacket and denim shorts, complete with some fishnet tights and a pair of boots.

Ice Spice At Rolling Loud Miami

On Friday (July 21), Ice Spice also dropped the deluxe edition of her Like..? EP. She delivered fans four new tracks. In two of them, she appears to take aim at her fellow female MC, Latto. On “Butterfly Ku,” Ice Spice raps, “Where she at? On the floor / She gettin’ money, but I’m gettin’ more.” Fans quickly noticed that she appears to be referencing Latto’s hit “Put It On Da Floor.” Lyrics to the deluxe EP’s opener “How High?” also seemingly dissed Latto. She raps, “Now she all on the floor when I kick in the door / How you mad I do less ’cause you gotta do more?” 

Ice Spice has been rising to the top for months now, recently appearing alongside Nicki Minaj on the Barbie movie soundtrack. The duo previously took over the charts with their “Princess Diana (Remix)” collab earlier this year. During a recent interview with Zane Lowe, Ice Spice detailed how emotional it was for her to meet her collaborator. She revealed that she even started crying when Nicki hugged her, calling the meeting a “full-circle moment.”

Kim Kardashian’s Tiny Black Bikini Thirst Traps Will Make You Want To Hit The Beach

Kim Kardashian’s initial rise to fame was a result of her sex tape with then-boyfriend Ray-J. In the decades since she’s been continuing to use her hourglass figure to keep all eyes on her. Now that we’re well into summer, her Instagram feed has been filling with neck-breaking thirst traps that find the socialite posing in ultra-tiny bikinis. The most recent arrived on Tuesday (July 18) afternoon, showing Kardashian lounging by the pool in a black top and snake print bottoms that leave little to the imagination.

As DailyMail notes, it almost appears as though the black-haired beauty’s ample chest is several sizes too small for the top – but then again, that could be her intent. Seeing as it’s not hard to find a video of her being intimate online, it’s understandable that Kardashian feels little shame about showing off her body all this time later. In fact, she even recently stole the show at former assistant Stephanie Shepherd’s wedding in one of the most revealing black dresses we’ve seen in some time.

A post shared by Kim Kardashian (@kimkardashian)

When unveiling her latest bikini photo shoot with the world, the 42-year-old had an important message to share in the caption. “Risk and you shall receive,” Kim encouraged her hundreds of millions of followers, though it’s unclear if the quote had any deeper personal meaning to the law student. Seeing as she’s been putting herself back out into the dating world, there’s some potential Kardashian could be sending out a subliminal to a potential suitor, encouraging them to shoot their shot with her.

Elsewhere in the news, Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS brand is making headlines – and not for their usual star-studded marketing techniques. Rather, a woman has come forward to share that wearing a bodysuit designed by the reality starlet saved her life when she was shot four times, as the garment was so tight on the victim that it prevented her from bleeding out. Read all about that at the link below, and check back later for more music/pop culture news updates.

Doja Cat Rocks A Bloody Nose In Surreal IG Photo Dump

Doja Cat’s career is illustrious enough to the point where she doesn’t have to depend on social media to get her name out there. As such, pretty much anything she does on Internet platforms seems to be for fun, yet ends up causing a lot of conversation. Moreover, the artist’s recent photo dump on Instagram sees her sporting a bloody nose, and fake or real, she does not shy away from it at all. While smiling for the camera and putting her face up, close, and personal with it, she didn’t bother to clean herself up- at least, for the first couple of pictures. Eventually, the Los Angeles native included some mirrored snaps and a lo-fi pic of her in a colorful pink crop-top and white headband.

Of course, Doja Cat often posts a lot of provocative, sultry, hilarious, or downright bizarre photographs on her Instagram and Twitter, in particular. For example, for 4th of July, she recently posted nearly nude pics with an American-flag bikini eating hot dogs and popsicles. Sure, it got people talking, but fans buzzed about the 27-year-old earlier this year for very different reasons. With the release of “Attention” in mid-June, it’s finally time for another Doja album cycle, which might be her best yet.

Doja Cat’s Bloody New Selfies

Still, it’s not like the singer, songwriter, and rapper is super keen on all the wild hype that surrounded her single’s drop. After all, some fans loved it so much that they tore down promotional posters of it on the streets for themselves- which she didn’t appreciate. “Stealing my advertisements off of the walls around the city is super f***ed up,” Doja Cat expressed on her Instagram Story. “We don’t put those up for free, so keep that in mind. You’re wack, and I don’t f**k with you if you’re doing that. Use your f***ing brain.”

Meanwhile, that energy will probably rise exponentially (and hopefully manifests in better ways) during her upcoming tour. It’ll run from October to December across North America, and she tapped Ice Spice and Doechii to accompany her. We’ll see how many people in that crowd can say that they’ve seen her with a bloody nose. Regardless, check out that tour info below and come back to HNHH for the latest on Doja Cat.

Travis Scott Shows Off $120K Louis Vuitton Trunk From Pharrell Auction

Travis Scott recently took to Instagram to show off some pricey Louis Vuitton to his followers. In an Instagram Story posted today (July 12), he showcases a rainbow LV trunk, which he reportedly purchased at Pharrell’s auction last year. The auction featured various pieces of clothing, jewelry, and more, bringing in over $5 million. A Travis Scott fan page was able to link the trunk posted by Travis to the one auctioned by Pharrell last October. The trunk sold for $121,250.

Pharrell’s auctioned LV trunk isn’t the only notable arm candy Travis has been spotted with recently. In the past few months, Travis has been spotted various times alongside security personnel holding a briefcase labeled UTOPIA. Some fans think that the highly-anticipated upcoming album will be released later this month. Earlier this week, he announced that he’d be performing at the the pyramids in Egypt on July 28. Some believe this will also be the day that he’ll finally drop the LP.

Travis Scott Flexes His Louis Vuitton

Travis Scott has continued to tease UTOPIA, as well as the eagerly-awaited LP’s features. Previously, it was speculated that The Weeknd would appear on the album, after he shared a photo on Instagram alongside the briefcase. Recently, this news appeared to be confirmed by the co-founder of XO Records. The album is also believed to feature Young Thug, Westside Gunn, Swae Lee, and more.

Pharrell has been showing off his own Louis Vuitton lately, being photographed with a bright yellow speedy bag reportedly worth $1 million. The “millionaire speedy” is part of Pharrell’s first collection as the creative director of menswear at LV. In June, he revealed that “Every part on the bag is [gold].” “The teeth on the zipper is gold, all the hardware, every rivet. This is gold. Obviously diamonds. This chain is real. It has a real strap but you know — so be it, so be it,” he explained.. He debuted the collection last month at a runway show which was attended by countless celebrity guests.

‘Fresh Pair’ Returns With A Special Episode Starring Bun B

Fresh Pair is back, baby! Sneaker artist extraordinaire Katty Customs and legendary hip-hop producer Just Blaze have teamed up once again — taking their sneaker customization operation to the city of Austin, Texas for a special live episode starring UGK alum, Bun B.

A renowned sneakerhead in his own right, Bun is no stranger to a fire pair of kicks, considering that and the fact that the Fresh Pair team was visiting Bun’s home state, Katty and Just Blaze had their work cut out for them and nailing the right design was of paramount importance. We won’t spoil the reveals for you here (it’s a lot more fun to watch) but we will say that Bun was beyond impressed with what Katty and Blaze cooked up, inspiring the legend to share never-before-heard stories from his come-up and lengthy career.

Throughout this 30-minute episode, Bun takes us behind the scenes of the recording of “Diamonds and Wood,’ as well as the production process of UGK’s classic, Ridin’ Dirty. Later, Just Blaze and Bun reminisce about their early run-ins with Rockafella Records and Jay-Z and address that iconic moment in the “Big Pimpin’” video when Pimp C rocked a mink coat in 100-degree weather.

With the many references and nods to Bun’s career that Katty and Bun crammed into this single pair of sneakers, the hip-hop legend was bursting with stories to tell. Catch the full episode above and try to guess Bun’s out of 10 rating before we hit the post-interview during the credits.

Latto Shows Plenty Of Leg While Exploring London In A Kilt

Latto is no stranger to getting caught up in drama with other rap divas. However, when it came to Ice Spice seemingly shading her last week, the 777 artist seemed unphased. If you missed it, the New York native appeared to agree with fans on Twitter accusing Latto of copying Isis Gaston’s signature style. The comments began flying after the former wore a Von Dutch mini skirt and crop top while performing for a huge crowd at Wireless Festival.

It’s hard to deny the similarities between the “Wheelie” hitmaker’s stage ensemble and some of Spice’s recent outfits. Still, Latto’s fanbase came through with receipts suggesting that it’s actually the redhead who’s taking a page out of her contemporary’s book. Regardless of the drama, 21 Sav’s rumoured girlfriend is doing what she can to enjoy her time in Europe for festival season, most recently sharing a photo dump on Instagram of the time she spent exploring London.

This time around Latto took inspiration from another celebrity – kilt-loving lyricist ASAP Rocky – wearing the traditional garment with a sultry twist while exploring England. She didn’t hesitate to go full tourist mode, posing with a vibrant red photo booth during her adventures. So complete her kilt OOTD, Latto added a black and red graphic tank top, shades, a purse with gothic spikes on the handle, and combat boots When she wasn’t snapping pictures, the 24-year-old found time to drop by Capital Xtra studios for yet another interview.

Latto has obviously always loved using social media to flaunt her countless designer fashions. However, that’s not the only thing she uses it for. The blonde beauty has also been teasing us while shaking her booty, most recently twerking along to Cardi B’s “Point Me 2.” Read all about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Coi Leray’s “Essence” Photo Shoot Shows How Much She’s Grown As An Artist

Since she first announced her sophomore album back in the spring, Coi Leray has been buzzing with excitement. Her debut, Trendsetter, hit DSPs a little more than a year before, and while it didn’t perform as well as expected commercially, it still turned many heads the Boston native’s way. She hasn’t had a hard time keeping them there since, from her energetic performances that put some of her contemporaries to shame to her often NSFW outfits at Fashion Weeks across the globe.

Unfortunately for Coi, her self-titled second album suffered a similar fate to its predecessor. Thankfully, the 26-year-old has kept a positive attitude after finding out she sold 10K album equivalent units during her first week out. Oldheads like Boosie Badazz showed the rising star plenty of love, even suggesting that she should’ve moved upwards of 100K. For her part, Leray continues to shine her light bright, most recently teaming up with Essence for a stunning photo shoot that shows the “Blick Blick” himaker at her best.

Coi Leray Glows in New Essence Photo Shoot

The first image Leray picked for her carousel puts the entirety of her toned midriff on display, along with some cheeky underboob. She confidently gazed off into the distance as the photographer snapped away, her beautiful face sporting a sultry, pink makeup look. Another outfit from the shoot had the Trendsetter channelling her inner diva, throwing her black hair into a curly, messy bun over rose-tinted shades and massive hoop earrings. She paired a dark-wash denim mini skirt with a bra top in the same fabric, as well as a cropped bomber jacket.

With the many thirst traps and stunning selfies Coi Leray has posted so far this Hot Girl Summer, it’s not surprising to find out she’s got many suitors sliding in her DMs. Among them is Power actor Gianni Paolo, who told TMZ he was left on read after sending a bold message to the rap diva recently. Read all about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Keke Palmer Speaks On Her Body In Steamy New Instagram Video

If you haven’t been online in the past week or so, Keke Palmer found herself in a lot of drama with her boyfriend Darius Jackson that social media got into a heavy (and ongoing) debate over. During Usher’s concert, he serenaded her, which prompted Jackson to criticize her revealing outfit for the show. Of course, with them unfollowing each other and a lot of discussion surrounding this spat, pretty much everything the actress and artist does is going to fall within that context. Still, it seems like she’s brushing it all off. Moreover, Palmer recently posted a video of herself strutting her stuff with audio of a song off her recent album, Big Boss.

“‘Don’t think idk what this body do,’” Keke Palmer captioned the post, a reference to the lyrics of the track that eerily (and maybe intentionally) match the current situation. “‘So good that you wanna hide me from the truth.’ Get into the new album #BigBoss.” Whatever your take is on Jackson’s issues, at least she’s not making things messier online. After all, that’s a very personal and tough conversation to have, especially considering that they recently welcomed a child into the world.

Keke Palmer’s Suggestive New Instagram Post

Regardless, the media flooded the Internet with takes on Keke Palmer’s debacle, including Charlamagne Tha God. In fact, he painted Usher as the true villain to blame in this whole whirlwind. “The man walks around the residency scouting on a straight search and destroy mission,” he said on The Breakfast Club. “Looking for women to find so he can pull them out of the crowd, serenade them and destroy their household. We ain’t seen him serenade a single lady yet. All Usher gotta do is say ‘Where the single ladies at?’ And you can go serenade them. That man purposely serenaded Keke Palmer. That man purposely serenaded Saweetie knowing she out here with YG now.”

Meanwhile, the Nope star recently spoke out about her cover for The Cut with some words potentially addressing the subject. “I know the internet can be a cruel place, but for people like me that needed a place to go to escape the confining world around them, it can be beautiful,” she wrote. “I still choose to see the freedom it gave me as a child, as an entertainer and as a millennial. When used wisely, it can be a true gift.” With that in mind, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Keke Palmer.

Rihanna Shows Off Growing Baby Bump In New Bra Pics

Rihanna’s pregnant with her second child, and that hasn’t stopped her from promoting her Sav x Fenty collection at all. Moreover, she still absolutely killed a recent photo shoot in just underwear for her latest offerings, and people went wild for it in the comments. Not only that, but she still goes pretty much anywhere and everywhere with her baby bump out, still providing some amazing fits on her way. Overall, even though there’s still a lot of anticipation for her next album, there’s also so much people obsess over regarding her that it surely holds them over. Regardless, time is ticking, and all of these outings just build that hype even more, and the love for her family is palpable.

Furthermore, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s first child RZA stole the world’s heart, even that of his legendary namesake. “It’s a great honor to know that there’s another generation that’s not even of my own household that feels the strength and the inspiration of that name,” the Wu-Tang icon told CNN. “RZA is only a name, it’s a title. So it’s an honor and I salute her and A$AP and their family. All the blessings in the world from me.”

Rihanna Steams It Up With Her Baby Bump

In other Rihanna news, she doesn’t even have to drop new music to keep breaking records and making huge numbers. For example, she recently became the first female artist to have ten songs with over a billion streams on Spotify. In the comments of Rihanna’s celebratory post of the news, none other than Nicki Minaj dropped a congratulatory freestyle in the comments. Sure, maybe she should’ve taken the opportunity to record it in the studio, but maybe that’s just a special surprise to come- or a unique audio file gifted to RiRi.

“Not Bad Gal billi, poppin s**t like a wheelie,” Minaj spit in comment form. “I mean poppin like a pilly, like a really, Man Down ‘cuz she making a killy. SILLY! Bout to be pushin out a new kid like Gillie, Caribbean girls run it and AWWLLL these b***hes know da dilly.
