Lil Baby Announces “It’s Only Us” Summer Tour With GloRilla, The Kid LAROI & More

by

Lil Baby just announced his upcoming “It’s Only Us” summer tour, whose lineup should have fans going crazy. Moreover, he’s hitting the road alongside The Kid LAROI, Rylo Rodriguez, GloRilla, Gloss Up, and Hunxho, making for a stacked roster of performers. Also, the tour will run a considerable trek all throughout the nation, with only some states and cities like New York not getting a show. Still, maybe more shows will be added to this tour later, which presumably is in promotion of his recent album It’s Only Me.

Furthermore, this isn’t all that fans of the Atlanta MC have to look forward to when it comes to new moves from the “Freestyle” MC. Recently, Honestly, Nevermind producer Black Coffee hinted at a joint project between Lil Baby and Drake. When it comes to their previous chemistry, tracks like “Wants & Needs” point to a potentially dangerous combination in the studio that should see each rapper in top form. With that news exciting fans for the future, Baby fortunately affirmed that there was new music on the way in the caption of his tour announcement post. It shows the rapper calling his tour cohorts and asking them to join him in giving something special to his fans.

Said special treat is manifesting into a likely amazing tour with all these artists, as Lil Baby is quite the accomplished performer.

SZA Grossed Over $30 Million On “S.O.S” Tour: Report

by

SZA’s grip on the industry is unquestionable. Since the release of CTRL, she became a prominent and defining figure in the current state of R&B. However, the time between her debut studio album and December’s S.O.S left fans longing for new music while many of her detractors felt like she wouldn’t be able to replicate its success. Evidently, she blew past the expectations with S.O.S, which has broken records on the Billboard charts since its release and stayed atop the charts week after week.

In February, she embarked on her biggest tour to date. The S.O.S. tour found SZA and Omar Apollo heading across 17 cities, including two in Canada, as she sold out venue after venue. According to Billboard, she grossed $34.5M and sold 238,000 tickets throughout the venture, which began on Feb. 21st to March 22nd. Each night, SZA averaged about $1.9M and 12,812 tickets. It’s undoubtedly a long way from a few years ago when she performed in smaller, intimate venues, and certainly wasn’t raking in millions of dollars per night as she did this time around.

SZA Reaches New Heights

Two of the biggest markets for SZA were in New York and Los Angeles, where she performed back-to-back nights in each city. In NYC, she reportedly brought in $4.7 million and 27,000 tickets for both nights while at Inglewood’s Kia Forum, she grossed $3.9 million with 25,000 tickets sold. By comparison, SZA only did a fraction of those numbers during her 2017 run in NYC. She grossed $45K through 1800 when she performed at the Brooklyn Steel. Ultimately, SZA’s profile continues to grow and she has the numbers to back it.

It really isn’t surprising to see SZA’s touring success these days. The S.O.S tour drew major celebrities who were spotted in attendance. A fan caught a rare glimpse of Frank Ocean in the crowd during one of the shows while Lori Harvey and Damson Idris showed up hand-in-hand to catch the St. Louis singer perform her new album. Overall, we hope to see SZA return to the road sooner rather than later. Clearly, she’s still in high demand out here.

Yeat Has Fans Going Wild On His Most Recent Tour

by

Yeat may be fairly new to the game, at least in terms of notoriety, but you wouldn’t know it by seeing videos from his tour. Fans of the LA-based 22-year-old rapper are going wild at his shows. The antics range from violent to confusing, and with more than half of the tour left to go, we’re sure to get more crazy videos. The rapper’s demographic might not be what you expect, either. Even though he shot to viral fame through TikTok, it seems like even parents are pulling up to the pit.

Yeat recently released his third studio album, Afterlyfe, an hour-long album that’s been called “exhilarating in small doses“. The tour started a little over a week after the album’s release. Some may question the commercial viability and longevity of artists that gain popularity through social media, but if the videos from Yeat’s tour are any indication, he isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. The rapper’s numbers aren’t anything to scoff at, either. Afterlyfe debuted at number four on the Billboard Top 200 and number one on the Billboard Rap Albums charts.

Blame Yeat For Your Late Packages

We already got some pretty insane videos of the crowd at Yeat’s New York show. They were filmed from a balcony and showed a fully packed venue of fans jumping and singing along. The new videos, however, are straight from the middle of the pit, and the energy is even crazier than it looked from far away. One video shows people inexplicably circling around a broken wet floor sign and flipping it off. Another shows an older man crowd-surfing while onlookers ask whose father it is. There’s even a video of a FedEx employee in his work uniform getting pushed around in the pit. It seems like Yeat’s fans will do whatever they have to do to make it to the show, even if that means pulling up in a delivery truck.

No one held back in the comment section, either, taking shots at Yeat fans in the videos. “I know it stinks in there,” said one user. “Imagine how low you gotta be to attend this type of shows,” remarked another. Shady comments aside, it’s clear that the rapper has some seriously dedicated fans. Would you go to a Yeat show after seeing these videos? Let us know in the comments below.

50 Cent Trolls Druski For Stage Fall

by

50 Cent is known for sometimes being a clown online, and Druski is the latest to fall victim to his trolling- and a poorly placed set of steps. Moreover, the Queens MC took to Twitter to comment on a viral clip of the comedian falling and breaking his ankle during the Austin stop of his Coulda Shoulda Woulda comedy tour. For those who haven’t seen the clip yet, Dru said that he fell down and joked that he was “chasing some white chocolate,” i.e. a girl walking by. However, one misstep on a rickety set of steps sent him down to the ground, and at least it happened during a comedy show and not a more serious event.

After the clip spread on social media, Fif joked that the superstar personality needed some condolences. “Nobody told me Druski died,” the G-Unit boss and television mogul wrote on Twitter. “I send my condolences to his family and loved ones. Boy WTF happens here? Who put that last step there like that? LOL somebody gotta die.” Fortunately, Druski’s a great comic, and of course he won’t slip up on a chance to make fun of himself, too.

Druski Clowned By 50 Cent

“That p***y almost got me,” he joked after falling, as people around him rushed to get him up. “White b***hes ain’t s**t… B***h, I almost twisted my ankle… You see what I do for that white p***y? I just twisted my s**t. If it ain’t snowing, I ain’t going.” Then, he turned to his security to cook them comically. “B***h, what the f**k you doing? You ain’t catch me, n***a! N***a talking about, ‘Oh s**t, what the f**k?!’ N***a, I ain’t paying you $2 an hour for nothing!”

Meanwhile, some of the 28-year-old’s fellow famous friends chimed in with some funny messages online. “Oooommmmmgggggg…..yo life flashed before yo eyes man,” wrote Kevin Hart. Odell Beckham Jr. wrote, “Bruhhhh reallly almost fkeddd his shxt uppppp!” What’s more is that his tour in Dallas saw him in a wheelchair and cast, and fortunately he has some days to relax before he hits Memphis, Birmingham, and New Orleans this week. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest on 50 Cent and Druski.

Frank Ocean Spotted At SZA’s Tour

by

Three of R&B’s most acclaimed and beloved artists just had an insanely rare crossover moment. Frank Ocean was recently spotted at SZA’s tour stop in Inglewood, California, and a video surfaced of him watching Omar Apollo perform. Of course, such an appearance is incredibly uncommon, as the Blonde singer is known most for his unknown movements. In fact, many on social media started speculating that Frank and Omar are back together. As some may remember, they’ve been a rumored couple for a while now. Regardless, it’s exciting to see the “Ivy” star back in the public eye, especially ahead of some potentially big moves.

Moreover, people are incredibly excited for his upcoming headlining spot at Coachella, which some fans still can’t believe. Given that this isn’t the first teased appearance from the 35-year-old at the festival, many are skeptical. Also, there’s the added factor of no full-length projects since 2016. Only a couple of singles held die-hards over. Still, perhaps this is a sign that we’ll see more of him in the future, although it’s doubtful that he misses the attention.

Frank Ocean Pops Up At SZA Tour

There’s such a buzz around the Odd Future alum whenever his name pops up that people freaked out over an edited picture of him with long hair. Many immediately thought that he would come out of hiding debuting a new look. Instead, they realized they just sought confirmation bias when it was revealed to be fake. Even though he stays pretty offline, his impact and continuous influence on music goes beyond any public appearance. As one of the most simultaneously successful and low-key artists of our generation, even the world’s biggest superstars can’t hold a candle to his acclaim.

Despite all that praise, maybe hope for new music won’t be enough to keep fans from lashing out at him. After all, some of his extracurricular moves drew some controversy and pushback from hardcore fans and casuals alike. For example, his brand Homer released cock rings for $25,000. That got as clowned as it was criticized, but it means nothing in the face of a song like “Pyramids.” With that in mind, come back to HNHH for the latest on Frank Ocean, the little we get to see of him, and what his next move may be.

SZA Was Beyond Excited While Meeting Avril Lavigne

by

SZA has been enjoying an immense amount of success as of late. Overall, it is all very well deserved. Almost six years ago now, she changed the game with her album CTRL. Five years later, she finally returned with SOS which is arguably even better than CTRL. Although this seemed like an impossible task, SZA was able to get it done. Her growth as an artist has been on full display, and fans continue to soak in everything she does. Moreover, she is currently on tour, and each show has proven to be even better than the last.

Just a couple of nights ago, SZA had a show in Los Angeles. As everyone knows, L.A. is a hub for celebrities. Consequently, it should come as no surprise that some of the biggest celebrities were out and about at her show. Adele, Justin and Hailey Bieber, and Savannah James were just a small sample size of some of the names in attendance. SZA expressed her gratitude for this support on social media following the concert. Additionally, she even got to meet with the likes of Avril Lavigne.

SZA x Avril Lavigne

Lavigne was at the concert with her new beau Tyga. Subsequently, she got to go backstage where she met with SZA, who seemed ecstatic to be talking to pop-punk royalty. It is unknown what the two were talking about, but perhaps we could very well see these two collaborate in the future. After all, SZA did go in a pop-punk direction on one of her songs off of SOS. Fans were fond of that effort, so it wouldn’t be shocking to see SZA pursue that sound a bit more.

Regardless, this is yet another example of just how big SZA’s profile has grown in recent years. Overall, SOS has further cemented her as a global superstar, and you can’t help but love that for her. Whether or not it will take another five years for a new album, still remains to be seen. Let us know what you thought of SOS and the ensuing tour, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from the music world.

Beyoncé Tour Ticket Prices Reportedly Prompt U.S. Fans To Travel To Europe

by

Few artists can say that their demand is so huge in the States that they can make their fans travel overseas just to spend a few hundred dollars less to witness their presence. According to many fans online, people are buying tickets for Beyoncé’s shows in Europe due to staggeringly high ticket prices in the U.S. Moreover, the star singer’s European leg begins in Stockholm, Sweden on May 10, according to her official tour website. However, many of these shows already sold out on the platform, so maybe fans got cheaper resale tickets.

Of course, Beyoncé’s highly acclaimed 2022 album RENAISSANCE, plus her sheer dominance and legacy as an artist, drove millions to buy tickets. What it resulted in is a frenzy of delayed purchase times, crashing websites, insane demand, and insane prices. It’s not entirely uncommon for the biggest artists in the world to face these issues, whether thanks to poor planning or just the fact that they’re so huge that everyone and their grandpa want to go. For example, Taylor Swift faced similar issues, as did Drake whose tour tickets rivaled even the “CUFF IT” star’s.

Beyoncé Fans Face High Ticket Prices In The U.S., Travel To Europe For Shows

However, many on social media ultimately saw this as a great opportunity to go visit other countries. After outlets started to report on the phenomenon, many chimed in with their takes. “It’s still cheaper than the US!!” one user claimed. “We were able to make a cute lil vacation in Toronto!! I’m excited that this is pushing black and brown folks to travel abroad for new and different experiences!!” Another expressed, “If I wouldn’t have gotten my ticket here… oooo oui! I would’ve been on my way to Paris.”

It might be an unorthodox move, but it’s something to consider if you want to see a large artist on a world tour and can spend a lot of money, but not a lot of money. Meanwhile, the 41-year-old is enjoying a victory lap of sorts after becoming the most awarded Grammys artist ever. Now, she’s looking forward to her massive tour- and many fans are looking forward to their overseas vacations. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Beyoncé.
