March 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Megan The Stallion has declared Jujutsu Kaisen to be her current favorite anime. “Jujutsu Kaisen is the hottest anime right now. It’s the best! Well, let me not talk a bunch of sh-t on my other ones because I love them as well, but Jujutsu Kaisen is my favorite right now. Period. Real hot girl sh-t,” Megan told Teen Vogue. Earlier in the week, she showed out at the Anime Awards in Tokyo with an outfit inspired by Jujutsu character Gojo.

Furthermore, Megan presented the awards while dressed in an outfit inspired by Bruno Bucciarati from Jojo Bizarre Adventure‘s fifth series, Golden Wind. Megan’s attention to detail in the outfit was unrivaled, truly showing her love of the medium. Additionally, Megan spilled on her love of anime. She named several characters from Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure as her anime backup dancers. One person she named was the aforementioned Bucciarati, because “he’s my boy, he’s got them moves already!” Meanwhile, she named YuYu Hakusho as her “comfort anime” and one she “always falls asleep to”. Additionally, Megan named “action” as her favorite genre, stating that “when sh-t goes down, I wanna see that city tore up!” Do you agree with Megan’s choices? Let us know in the comments.

Elsewhere, Megan flaunted her curves, and positive mentality, in a new ad for Nike. “Hotties, when you use Thee Hottie State of Mind, it doesn’t matter what they see for you because you see it for yourself. So, keep that same energy and attitude no matter what life throws your way. At the end of the day, do what feels best for YOU,” Megan wrote on Instagram to promote the collab.

Furthermore, Megan has been finding her niche with her power of positive thinking. A previous video about the Hotties State of Mind had some fans online calling her the Bottitheesiva, a play on a figure in Buddhist mythology. Fans in the comments were already saying that Megan was low-key motivating them. Are you feeling motivated by the Hotties State of Mind? Let us know in the comments below.

Ice Spice Responds To Claims Her Success Is Due To Colorism

June 14, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Ice Spice reflected on her rise to fame in a new interview with Teen Vogue, published earlier this week. In speaking with the outlet, she responded to the idea that her success is due, in part, to colorism in society.

“I have seen those opinions,” she said, before adding, “I feel like that’s not something personal to me. I feel like that’s been the conversation for generations and forever, since the beginning of time.” She continued: “I try not to feed into negativity because I also see that when people are trying to make that point, it’s not out of a good place. [They end up putting] somebody else down.”

Ice Spice previously appeared to address the colorism complaints by bringing out Flo Milli at Hot 97’s Summer Jam, earlier this month. Milli’s career was often brought up on social media in comparison to Ice Spice during conversations about colorism.

Ice Spice blew up back in August 2022, following the release of her breakthrough single, “Munch (Feelin’ U).” In the months since, she’s collaborated with Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj, while releasing several more hits. Elsewhere in her interview with Teen Vogue, she explained that remaining humble throughout the process makes her most proud.

“I’m most proud of staying grounded so far because I’ve already been through so many things that I know a lot of people would’ve lost their f*cking minds,” she explained. “The whole lifestyle change is super drastic, especially coming from where I come from, not coming from sht and not having a lot growing up, to now — it’s the complete opposite…. Even though it’s a positive change, it’s still a change.”

June 13, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Ice Spice recently discussed her meteoric rise to superstardom during an interview with Teen Vogue. In speaking with the outlet, the Bronx rapper admitted that she wasn’t entirely prepared to become famous seemingly overnight. Since releasing her viral song “Munch (Feelin’ U),” last August, Ice Spice has attended the 2023 Met Gala, and released collaborations with Nicki Minaj and Taylor Swift, among other feats.

Of her success, Ice Spice told Teen Vogue that she’s most proud of her ability to stay humble. “I’m most proud of staying grounded so far because I’ve already been through so many things that I know a lot of people would’ve lost their f*cking minds,” she explained. “The whole lifestyle change is super drastic, especially coming from where I come from, not coming from sht and not having a lot growing up, to now — it’s the complete opposite…. Even though it’s a positive change, it’s still a change.”

She continued: “I don’t think anybody is ever fully prepared for fame. There’s no book on how to do it. I feel like everybody could just learn as they go, like most people do in their careers. A lot of people be trying to compare me to people that are way older than me or people that have been in this sh*t way longer than me.” Check out Ice Spice’s cover for Teen Vogue below.

Jack Harlow Gives Black Women Credit For Being ‘Such A Massive Part’ Of His Career

June 8, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Despite the commercial success and growing popularity, Jack Harlow, like many rappers, has found himself become the butt of many jokes especially after releasing his sophomore album Come Home The Kids Miss You and admitting he did not know Brandy and Ray J were siblings. One surprising aspect of the backlash is the demographic of people who not only loudly support him, but defend him from it — Black women. The Louisville rapper is well aware of his avengers and vocalized his love for them in a recent interview in Teen Vogue.

“Black women are such a massive part of my career,” Harlow said. He continued, “They’ll never have to worry about not being credited by me. I mean, I look out at my shows and I see them. It’s one thing when you see the memes and you hear people talking about it, but it’s another when you travel the country and you see them all over the place. I love Black women. I’ve loved Black women my whole life.”

This isn’t Harlow’s first public display of adoration toward Black women, as his debut album, That’s What They All Say featured one on the cover. It remains to be seen whether the Clubhouse inhabitants will create a room to discuss this quote like they did when the cover art dropped in 2020. In any event, Harlow is proudly doubling down on his admiration.

Jack Harlow is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
