Kendrick Lamar Roasted For Fake Jordans

On June 15, it was revealed that the Instagram account @jojoruski was in fact Kendrick Lamar’s burner account. Since coming off private earlier this week, the account has accrued 498,000 followers. With the content currently limited to a variety of candid selfies, it appears to be a more casual and intimate way for Lamar to keep fans up to date with his life. It’s a big leap for the mostly-private rapper. Elsewhere, Lamar recently released his remix of Beyoncé’s “America’s Got A Problem” to mixed reviews.

In a post on June 16, Lamar showed off a birthday present to himself. “how im coming for my bday 🤫,” the rapper wrote in the caption alongside various pictures and videos of him flexing his new sneakers, a pair of red and black Jordans The shoes in question are a vivid red and black pair. Clicking through the post reveals Lamar taking his new shoes for a walk through a rainy New York. This indicates that the show purchase took place earlier in the week as he was performing in Tennessee on the 16th. Lamar turned 36 on the 17th. However, people are starting to take notice of his shoes as the images circulate online.

At first glance, Lamar’s new shoes appear to be a pair of Air Jordans. However, a little research online and a closer look at the videos of the shoes show that they are in fact knockoffs. “They used to clown me in school for wearing these. They just wasn’t on the shit I was on,” music producer BYNX wrote in the comments of Lamar’s post. Another commenter joked that Lamar had purchased the “Deadpool 4s” while someone else referenced Shaq’s shoreline by saying that “My n-gga in the Santee Alley Shaq 12’s”. However, most devastating of all was likely the person who simply said “haha Kendrick wears size 8.”

Despite this, most of the comments were still getting used to the fact that the reclusive Kendrick was posting life updates on social media. “kendrick using emojis is like seeing your teacher outside of school,” says one commenter. “we love seeing you livin’ a regular life Mr. Lamar, before everybody thought you was in a cave writing poetry beside a campfire with tea,” adds another. “Wait so kendrick is a n*rmal human being that does n*rmal people stuff ⁉,” asked a third.

Following the first show in Amsterdam, social media users have been sharing Beyoncé’s outfits. PopBase shared an image of a futuristic-looking dress with unique metallic designs.

Drake Releases “Hotline Bling” Pool Merch

Drake‘s “Hotline Bling” turns eight this year. One of the biggest songs of 2015, the song is certified diamond. Furthermore, it peaked at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. “Hotline Bling” was kept off the top spot by Omi’s “Cheerleader”, which was released a week before “Hotline Bling” and spent the first three weeks of August holding down the top spot. Subsequently, the charts were dominated by The Weeknd’s “Can’t Feel My Face” and “The Hills”.

As well as being one of Drake’s biggest hits, the song has enjoyed plenty of staying power. This is due to its presence in a number of memes and parodies. However, not everyone was a fan of the song. The track got mixed reviews upon release, as well as being accused of promoting sexism and glorifying being controlling in relationships. Regardless, Drake is throwing back to the track in a new merch line.

“Hotline Bling” Pool Float And Beach Towel Released

A post shared by Drake Related (@drakerelated)

According to the Drake merch site DrakeRelated.com, the Toronto rapper is dropping some limited-edition “Hotline Bling” merch just in time for summer. “This can only mean one thing. Start wearing less, and floating more. Hotline Bling + @Funboy Pool Float and Beach Towel now available on DrakeRelated, while supplies last,” the site announced on Instagram. The collection comprises two items. First is a pink beach towel with the “1-800-Hotline-Bling” written on it. Second is a pink pool float shaped liked a cell phone. Both items cost $69.

It’s a bold choice for Drake to launch limited-edition merch nearly eight years after the song they relate to was released. These products will more than likely sell out in the next few days. However, the sentiment was repeated numerous times in the comments of the release announcement. Furthermore, $69 is a lot for a towel, especially one with such a simple design as the one released. However, as mentioned, fans tend to hold “Hotline Bling” in high regard so don’t expect these products to be available for too long. What do you think about the merch drop? Let us know in the comments. Follow HotNewHipHop for all the latest music and merch news.

Summer Walker & Lil Meech: R&B Singer Seems Unbothered By Chain Situation

Lil Meech is a talented actor, but that doesn’t mean Summer Walker is looking for him to bring any drama into her life. Unfortunately for the mother of three, going public with the Florida native has done just that. Whether it’s been Celina Powell sharing explicit videos of her and Meech to her OnlyFans, or more recently, another young woman posting a video wearing the BMF star’s infamous chain on her Instagram Story.

We broke down all the drama earlier this week when Walker shared screenshots of her DMs with the girl. She claims that she never actually crossed paths with Meech, but rather, ran into his security and asked if she could wear the expensive jewelry. “My apologies if you feel disrespected, I can take the videos down if you’d like,” Anisa Ali Abdu wrote back to the R&B diva before insisting that she’s “not that type of woman.” Afterward, the woman shared screenshots of her alleged messages with Lil Meech, revealing that he apparently offered to CashApp her money for making a post.

Despite all the messiness the world has seen online, it seems Walker is unbothered by the situation. Before kicking off her weekend, she’s been sharing some sweet snapshots with Meech on her Story, revealing that they spent their night turning up together. “Not me getting drunk and talkin’ ’bout Toys R’Us lmao. She’s a muva,” the “No Love” songstress wrote in a closed-eye selfie that shows off her beautiful jewelry.

In another selfie, she and her 23-year-old beau give the camera a serious stare. He keeps one hand on his face, subtly flaunting his luxury watch for all of his girlfriend’s followers to see.

Rihanna Covers Her Baby Bump In Fenty Beauty Diamond Bomb To Stay Shining Bright

In 2012, Rihanna taught us a thing or two about shining bright with her hit single, “Diamonds,” from her Unapologetic album. In the decade since then, the Barbadian singer has led by example, often wearing looks that keep all eyes on her radiance. Since announcing her first pregnancy with ASAP Rocky in early 2022, we’ve seen Rihanna glowing more than ever before – sometimes thanks to the assistance of her Fenty Beauty makeup products, and others simply due to her natural star power.

On Thursday (June 15), the @fentybeauty Instagram account reminded us of one of the 35-year-old’s best looks from her first pregnancy with RZA. At the time, Rih wore her short hair in a cute, half-up-half-down style. Her baby bump was fully on display under a silver, long-sleeve crop top with several intricate cutouts. Her skirt was also silver and covered in countless sparkles to keep her glittering under any light. Of course, the ANTI artist also added a collection of accessories to her wrist, ears, and finger before using her makeup brand’s Diamond Bomb powder to bring in more shine.

Rihanna Loves Her Some Fenty Beauty

In a video soundtracked to Blxnco Blxck’s “Frozen Pizza,” Rihanna smoothly applies the shimmery powder all over her bump. At the end, the soon-to-be mother of two reveals the finished look, which has added a beautiful glow to her brown belly. “We don’t call it #DIAMONDBOMB All-Over Diamond Veil for nothing 💎 Muva @badgalriri shines bright all on her own + applies #DIAMONDBOMB in ‘How Many Carats?!’ on her pregnant belly to match ✨,” the beloved brand captioned their post.

Seeing as RZA is already a year old and Rihanna is nearly ready to give birth again, fans in the comments are wondering why the adorable footage was kept “in the vault” for over a year. Regardless of their reasoning, it likely means there’s more unseen bump footage coming our way from the recording artist in the future. Which female celebrity do you think has given us the best maternity style in recent years? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Kim Kardashian Reveals Biggest Turn-On, Throws North West An All-Pink 10th Birthday Party

Exactly one week after he celebrated his 46th birthday, Kanye West’s eldest daughter, North West, turns 10. It’s hard to believe the young girl has been one of the internet’s favourite nepo babies for a decade now, but she only continues to grow more favoured in the public eye with age. Aside from commerating North’s big day, fans of the Kardashian family have also been tuned into the latest episode of their Hulu reality series.

Season three of The Kardashians has largely focused on Kourtney’s wedding to Travis Barker, which resulted in some serious beef between her and Kim. Elsewhere we’ve seen the mother of four navigating the single life after her breakup with Pete Davidson, even revealing her biggest turn-on to the cameras as she continues her search for the perfect man. “Teeth are, like, one of my biggest turn-ons,” Kim explained in a confessional. “The straighter, the hornier I’ll get. Just kidding. But not kidding.”

While she waits for romance to arrive at her doorstep, the 42-year-old has been happily parenting North and her three siblings, even throwing an all-pink birthday bash for the TikTok star and a group of friends.

“My sweet special baby girl. I can’t believe you’re 10 years old North,” the reality starlet wrote in an IG post dedicated to her daughter this afternoon. “My soul changed the day I met you and I love having you as my best friend. Thank you for making me a mommy. I love you so so so much and I will always be by your side forever.”

Rihanna Stays Booked & Busy As The Face Of Pharrell’s First Louis Vuitton Men’s Campaign

After the shock of Virgil Abloh’s sudden tragic passing in November 2021 wore off, fashion lovers couldn’t help but wonder who would replace him as creative director of Louis Vuitton’s menswear division. Some previously thought that his long-time contemporary, Kanye West, might get the job. However, his controversial antics at the time may have caused the brand to distance itself from him, and instead select Pharrell Williams. The producer’s new role was officially announced in February, and more recently we reported that he’ll be making his runway debut at the quickly approaching Paris Fashion Week.

Ahead of the show, Skateboard P is making big moves on Instagram. In the early hours of Thursday (June 15) morning, he lit up Instagram with a new photo from the City of Love, where he proudly poses in front of a new LV billboard featuring Rihanna. In the massive photograph, the “Umbrella” singer carried a collection of colourful baggage worn on her arms, cooly holding a coffee in her hand while showing off her baby bump under a leather jacket.

“LOUIS VUITTON MEN Spring-Summer 2024,” Pharrell wrote in the caption, hinting at what’s to come. Celebrity friends are already gushing over the creative collaboration in the comments. Among them are Lindsay Lohan, Lil Tjay, Tobe Nwigwe, and Busta Rhymes. Recruiting Rihanna as the campaign’s face is undoubtedly a strong strategic move, but regardless of her star power, the world is curious to see what Pharrell has in store for the historic brand.

He’s obviously no stranger to the world of fashion and has plenty of experience from working on Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream Footwear with Nigo, as well as on Human Race with Adidas. Are you looking forward to seeing Pharrell make his Louis Vuitton menswear debut at Paris Fashion Week? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Kanye West & Bianca Censori Go Shoeless, Engage In PDA In L.A.

Kanye West and Bianca Censori have certainly been turning heads as of late. Overall, Ye’s relationship with Censori kind of came out of the blue. However, the two are now married and appear to be extremely happy. Moreover, Censori has been hanging out with North West, and the two seem to have a great relationship. For many Kanye fans, it’s been nice to see him happy and experience some form of normalcy. Although for others, his previous comments are still a fresh wound that may never heal, and understandably so.

That said, Kanye West and Censori have spent a lot of time together out in Los Angeles. In fact, they are not afraid of being seen by the paparazzi. While Ye has had his fair share of issues with the Paps in the past, he seems more okay with them when Censori is around. He has been photographed on ice cream dates and dinner dates, and that continues to be the case. Recently, they were out and about in LA again, although this time, they showed off another new look.

According to photos obtained by Page Six, Kanye and Censori were both wearing no shoes. Instead, they had leggings that covered their feet. Clearly, Kanye is looking to take a break from wearing his signature Yeezys. Furthermore, the two could be seen making out and engaging in some PDA. Images of this were obtained by the Daily Mail. Needless to say, these two are still extremely happy with one another. While it has been a long road for Ye, it looks like Censori is providing him some stability.

Either way, we wonder what this shoeless look could mean for Kanye and his Yeezy brand. Without Adidas’ help, he will need to find some new ways to produce his shoes. Only time will tell whether or not his brand makes a comeback. Let us know your thoughts on the shoeless look, in the comments below. You can find the images of his style, in the via link beneath this paragraph.
