The 2024 Grammys were all about the music community pouring positivity into one another. But outside of the ceremony, the beef between Uproxx cover star Latto and Ice Spice still brews.

On February 3, fans reportedly spotted the “Put It On The Floor” rapper filming a secretive music video. According to sources, Latto took a trip to her foe Ice Spice’s old Bronx stomping grounds. While there, Latto recorded the official visual for her forthcoming single, “Sunday Service.” Today (February 5), Latto has shared the official artwork and fans believe it is a callout of several women rappers.

As Latto poses in front of a mural, there’s an interesting mixture of faces plastered behind her. Some of those folks include Ice Spice, GloRilla, Coi Leray, and more. Each of which has been involved in an online dustup with Latto. Given the diss-like lyrics heard in the teaser, users online believe the artwork is a subtle callout to some of these women.

But to be fair, Latto did include photos of her friends, the late Gangsta Boo, Megan Thee Stallion, and Saucy Santana. So, the public will have to wait until it is released to make heads or tails of the song.

Kanye West’s Sunday Service Serves Salmon & Steak On Autopsy-Style Tables With No Utensils

by

Kanye West is another year older as of last week, but that doesn’t mean he’s put his antics behind him. At his birthday party on Saturday (June 11), he served sushi on the bodies of naked models, causing something of a stir on social media. For his Sunday Service the following day, the “Power” rapper took a slightly more wholesome approach, instead offering patrons food to eat with their bare hands, placed on top of autopsy-style tables.

As Page Six notes, the scene looked comparable to American Horror Story, with choir members donning white robes and guests also sporting the colour of purity. There were no utensils in sight, forcing those brave enough to eat either salmon, steak, or chicken for their main course. Afterward, some indulged in treats like watermelon and ice cream for their dessert, also laid out on the eerie silver tables.

Kanye West Hosts Another Sunday Service

There didn’t seem to be any recognizable faces at yesterday’s worship session, however, a few celebrities did join Ye at his birthday party. Among them were Chloe Bailey, who looks to have sustained an injury recently, Ty Dolla $ign, and Freddie Gibbs. Aside from eating sushi and connecting with friends, the father of four was also seen rapping along to “Off The Grid.”

At the same time, North West was recording him with a camera nearly the size of her. It’s possible the footage could be for the DONDA track’s music video, or it could just be creative exploration with his eldest daughter. Regardless, we’re certainly curious to see what inventive ways the 46-year-old will serve up food next. Elsewhere in the news, Jay-Z has Kanye West to thank for helping him reach a record career milestone. The pair’s Watch the Throne collaboration, “Ni**as In Paris” just received a new certification from the RIAA, marking Hov’s first Diamond single. Read all about it at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Kanye West’s $2.2M L.A. Home Looks Abandoned In New Pictures

by

Kanye West’s Los Angeles ranch, originally worth $2.2 million, showed signs of significant wear in new pictures. Moreover, it seems the Chicago rapper left the property quite vacant and with not much upkeep following his divorce from Kim Kardashian. While the ranch also served as his Sunday Service and Donda Academy HQ, he boarded up the house in 2020. Their divorce finalized last November, and it seems the property’s been out of use in that time. Given that both parties are moving on in their lives, this ranch is a bit of a sad marker of what’s changed over the years.

Furthermore, Ye built partition walls around the property’s main and guest houses. Now, it seems someone took down some of those structures, leaving just a wire fence surrounded with trash. Some parts of the walls also fell naturally, and gaps in the fencing might explain the rubbish here and there. The white fabric covering the fence began to fray. Also, photographers spotted a 4×4 tank by the openings, plus a barbecue smoker. In addition, many props and school materials from Donda Academy scattered across the property like drums and trikes.

Reportedly, the “Yikes” artist lived in the L.A. ranch with his then-girlfriend as he converted it to a bachelor pad. Ye bought the luxury destination in 2018, spanning 1.25 acres. It includes two guest houses according to reports, and is eight miles away from his former home with Kim. Meanwhile, she kept their $60 million Calabasas mansion with their four children. Also, in their divorce settlement, Kanye gave his ex a $4.5 million home in Southern California, and she now owns the five-bedroom property.

Moreover, the Yeezy mogul said he bought that house to be closer to his family, but Kim’s expected to tear it down for renovations. In addition, she kept the rights to the $60 million home next door plus some property in Idaho. On his end, Kanye owns a $60 million Malibu destination, some ranches in Wyoming, and 300 acres in Calabasas. Also, he owns a Belgium home and the house that raised him in Chicago. As always, come back to HNHH for the latest on Kanye West and the aftermath of his divorce from Kim Kardashian.

Ye Is Apparently Planning To Meet With Putin In Russia And Perform A ‘Sunday Service’

Ye has a lot on his plate lately between a new Netflix documentary, a collection with designer brand Balenciaga, and a budding relationship with Julia Fox. But amid the hustle, the rapper is plotting an even bigger endeavor. Apparently, Ye aims to make Russia “a second home” after an upcoming meeting with the country’s leader Vladimir Putin.

According to a report from Billboard, the rapper’s confidant and strategic advisor Ameer Sudan is arranging a meeting between Ye and Putin sometime this summer. The rapper’s goal is to perform his first-ever shows in the country, including with some of his gospel events Sunday Service, which he will invite Putin to as a special guest. But he also plans to link up with Azerbaijani-Russian billionaire real estate developer Aras Agalarov and his son Emin Agalarov for a potential working relationship. According to Billboard, the real estate mogul is oftentimes referred to as the “Trump of Russia” due to how often he puts his name on the facade of his buildings.

While Sudan didn’t disclose the nature of the business deal, he did say that Ye will be “spending a lot of time out there,” noting that the endeavor could increase Ye’s net worth to more than $10 billion. Last year, Ye’s reported net worth was $6.6 billion, so the project he’s planning to pitch to Agalarov is likely a massive undertaking.

A calm Sunday turned sad as the entertainment world was informed of Virgil Abloh’s death. The famed designer, DJ, and overall creative mind was known for his work in the music and fashion industries. Some of his contributions came alongside Ye as he helped to design a number of album covers in the rapper’s career. They include Ye’s 2010 and album 2013 albums My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and Yeezus as well as Watch The Throne Ye’s 2011 joint album with Jay-Z. Ye and Abloh’s friendship carried on for years, so when news of the latter’s death arrived, Ye honored him the best way he could.

Today, Ye dedicated his Sunday Service to Virgil Abloh. A message towards the end of the livestream show read, “In loving memory of Virgil Abloh, the creative director of Donda.” Ye is one of many in the music world affected and shocked by Abloh’s passing as many took to social media to share their condolences. Abloh’s death was announced through a lengthy message shared on his Instagram page.

“For over two years, Virgil valiantly battled a rare, aggressive form of cancer, cardiac angiosarcoma,” the post read. “He chose to endure his battle privately since his diagnosis in 2019, undergoing numerous challenging treatments, all while helming several significant institutions that span fashion, art, and culture.”

Ye’s Sunday Service Choir Covers A Drake Hit In The Wake Of Their Recent Treaty

During the most recent edition of Ye’s Sunday Service, his Sunday Service Choir introduced an unusual new selection to its repertoire: Drake’s 2018 no. 1 hit, “God’s Plan.” While the choir has played numerous contemporary classics over the course of the past few years, this one was different in that Kanye and Drake had been feuding for nearly the entirety of the choir’s existence. Although the origins of the feud remain unclear to this day, the performance of the new song was made possible by the recent ceasefire the two stars called at the behest of J. Prince and Larry Hoover Jr.

In fact, Ye was apparently so amped about their reconciliation, the choir not only opened Sunday Service with “God’s Plan,” but also reprised it after several Donda songs, according to HipHopDX. The performance may well have constituted a preview of Drake and Ye’s upcoming concert to benefit the elder Larry Hoover’s efforts to have his life prison sentence commuted, which the pair officially announced yesterday as well.

The concert is set for December 9 at the Los Angeles Coliseum and will see the two rappers join each other on stage for the first time in nearly a decade. The architect behind both the concert and the truce was apparently Houston impresario (and rumored threatening figure) J. Prince, who first posted alongside Kanye imploring Drake to bury the hatchet before the two rappers were seen together with Prince in a photo suggesting they’d done just that.

Ye Dedicates His Latest Sunday Service Concert To The Victims Of The 2021 Astroworld Festival

Despite starting the weekend with controversy, thanks to his interview on Drink Champs, Ye is ending the weekend on a peaceful note. At this weekend’s Sunday Service concert, which was livestreamed on Triller, Revolt, and YouTube, the rapper announced that he was dedicating it to the victims of Travis Scott’s 2021 Astroworld Festival. The announcement was made moments before it kicked off at 4 pm EST and as viewers waited for the livestream to begin, a message read, “Sunday Service dedicated to the loved ones of Astroworld.”

The Sunday Service concert marks Ye’s second such event in as many weekends, having gone more than 18 months without holding one. Last week’s edition featured an appearance from Justin Bieber, Roddy Ricch, and Marilyn Manson, who faces multiple sexual and emotional abuse allegations. There, tracks from Ye’s tenth Donda, including “Come To Life,” “Hurricane,” and “Pure Souls,” were performed, while Bieber and Manson each led prayers during the service.

Ye recently delivered an unfiltered interview on N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN’s podcast Drink Champs. During the sit-down, which was released on Thursday night, Ye said the “worst thing I’ve ever done” was sign Big Sean and he doubled down on his support for Donald Trump. He also accused producer Just Blaze of stealing his production style, a claim that Jay-Z later pushed back on.

Roddy Ricch is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
