50 Cent Admits Hanging Upside Down At Super Bowl Was A “Mistake”

50 Cent says that his decision to hang upside down during the Super Bowl Halftime Show was a “mistake.” 50 reflected on the performance while discussing his upcoming tour with USA Today on Wednesday. 50 is hitting the road in honor of the 20th anniversary of his iconic album, Get Rich or Die Tryin.

“It’s gonna be a whole new show,” 50 Cent shared of his upcoming concerts. “Sometimes out of habit, you go to certain records. People love other things on it, so I wanna make sure I touch those records before I don’t do those anymore.”

“I think that was a mistake for the Super Bowl,” he admitted of being upside down. “Everybody else walked in regular, the songs still went over and they got the trophy, too. They all won an Emmy. They got the same thing I got and I had to put myself upside down.” 50 performed alongside Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, and Mary J. Blige.

Elsewhere in the interview, 50 reflected on the impact of Get Rich or Die Tryin’. When the interviewer described him as having revolutionized the music scene, he disagreed. “It’s not really a revolution,” he clarified. “If you’re gonna make music that is going to be world music, it has to have melodies. English is not their first speaking language in a lot of places that I travel. What (those crowds) follow is the melody until they understand what you’re saying.”

50 further praised Drake, explaining that he’s continuing on the same path. “Drake is the new, stronger version like that because he can do a whole pop record, sing the whole song. I’ve never done that,” he said. “He’ll say that I’m one of those influences… That’s a big compliment because he’s established himself and done great work.”

Tinashe Announces Summer 2023 Tour

Tinashe is ready to hit the road again. Recently, the “Unconditional” singer has not been in the spotlight as frequently. Several weeks ago, she turned 30. In an Instagram post celebrating the big birthday, she displayed her glowing appearance. In honor of her new decade of life, the singer shared topless photos from the beach, captioned with a reference to the film “13 Going On 30.” The post garnered attention from her fans and celebrity friends, who shared messages of love in the comments.

Tinashe is a multi-talented artist, recognized for her skills as a singer, songwriter, and actress. Although she began her career as a child actor, she transitioned to music and has become well-known for her soulful vocals and versatile musical style.

Drake Helped Pi’erre Bourne Get His Passport

On the musical side of things, despite their close touring and personal relationship, Drake and Pi’erre Bourne haven’t collaborated much. Moreover, the first thing that fans might think of is the couple of the rapper-producer’s tracks that Drizzy was going to be on that never came to be. Also, there’s the Pi’erre-produced “Pain 1993” featuring Playboi Carti on the OVO mogul’s Dark Lane Demo Tapes project. However, they still look out for each other, and the Kansas-born artist joined the Canadian superstar on the “Boy Meets World” tour in Australia and New Zealand back in 2017. Not only that, but Drake actually helped him get his passport.

“With Drake, when we was on tour, that was cool,” Pi’erre Bourne remarked during an interview at Coachella this year. “‘Boy Meets World’ tour, that was awesome. We went to Australia and New Zealand. So he actually showed me the world early on, fresh off the couch, my friend’s couch. He got me my passport, like, Drake helped me get my passport again so, yeah.” Some friends don’t just pay for your flight; they can help you take one anywhere, too.

Pi’erre Bourne Recalls Touring With Drake

What’s more is that Pi’erre Bourne is far from the only rapper to have received help from the 6 God. French Montana recently shouted him out for helping him produce his documentary. “Shout out to Drake for helping me do it,” he remarked. “Shout out to Puff. Shout out to Max B for letting them cameras come inside that maximum security prison and helping me document it. Shout out to my mother. She never been on nothing. That was her first one and it just shows that me, her and my father came here not even speaking English and it shows that your temporary moment doesn’t have nothing to do with your long-term.”

Meanwhile, the “IG” MC and beatsmith has been on plenty of tours since “Boy Meets World.” In fact, he has a few upcoming dates in May playing in Houston, New York, Los Angeles, and Atlanta. If you’re interested in hearing his woozy stylings in person, check out dates and tickets here. Also, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Drake and Pi’erre Bourne.

Chlöe Shines Like The Sun With Extravagant Yellow Outfit For Last Tour Stop

The In Pieces tour was a rollercoaster for Chlöe, both in the media landscape and on the road. However, she seems to have enjoyed every second of it, and recapped the tour’s final stop at The Novo in Los Angeles on Instagram. “4 + 4 = 8 THAT MFN TOUR UP,” she captioned the pics, and most fans agree. In the gallery, she included multiple pictures showing off her body in a beautiful yellow outfit, and also showed off her dance moves with some videos. In addition, she even shared a picture presumably backstage with Laren Jauregui and Lil Nas X to top off the celebratory occasion.

Of course, even without this successful tour behind her, the Bailey sister would be having a crazy year so far. While In Pieces, her full-length solo debut, didn’t reach the numbers she anticipated, it was still very well-received by fans and newcomers alike. What’s more is that the pop culture world is currently obsessed with her extracurriculars. Her starring role in the film Praise This, for example, prompted relationship gossip concerning her co-star Quavo. Though Chlöe (kind of) denied these claims, other outings suggest at the very least a close friendship.

Chlöe Recaps Her Final In Pieces Tour Stop- And Her Last Show-Stopping Fit

Unfortunately, a lot of genuine conversation surrounding In Pieces seems drowned by gossip and backlash at first glance. One notable instance was on The Breakfast Club, where the radio hosts invited the 24-year-old on but couldn’t name songs from the album they were discussing in favor of the media headlines around her TV appearances and sales numbers. Even though things didn’t turn sour, it was at least cathartic to see the “Told Ya” singer defend herself in that way. Many times when it comes to online hate, artists don’t even take the opportunity to stand by their work with their words and not through social media.

Meanwhile, the Atlanta native recently tried to make a beat, hinting at another tool in her belt for the future. With that in mind, she’s likely going to keep up with her trajectory in the future and hopefully not fall prey to so many people’s external criticisms. Even if that doesn’t happen, we’re sure she’ll take it all in stride as she usually has. For more news and the latest updates on Chlöe, come back to HNHH.

Chlöe Shows Off Her Dance Moves For Last Show Of Tour

Chlöe’s tour in support of her new album In Pieces was equal parts impressive, eventful, and deeply enjoyable. Moreover, that’s due to her amazing combination of talents, whether it’s singing a tender ballad or showcasing her moves during a banger. As a promo for her final stop of the tour, which took place on Wednesday (May 3) at The Novo in Los Angeles, she posted a video of her with her dancers on her Instagram page. Donning just some grey sweats as opposed to her usual stunning outfits, the Bailey sister seems like she wanted to have a lot of fun for her wrap-up.

Even though Chlöe finished her tour, she still probably has a lot more to celebrate and show off throughout the year. For example, she recently starred in the Donald Glover and Janine Nabers-created limited series “Swarm” in a breakout screen role. Though that garnered her some controversy, the Atlanta native played it off with grace and style. Also, she recently starred in the film Praise This, which started rumors of a romance with co-star Quavo.

Chlöe Teases Last Tour Stop With Her Dance Moves

All those extracurriculars aside, it seems that what the 24-year-old is proudest of is her solo debut album and the expression of emotion that came with it. “Every single song on that project stems from my own experiences,” Chlöe told Complex during an interview. “Every song I have is personal. It has been so much fun collaborating with such incredible song makers.” On Instagram, she explained the cover art. “This cover represents so much for me, down to the color of my hair… when I had the red hair 1.5 years ago, it was one of the darkest times in my life… that’s why I never wore it again. In Pieces is for the ones like me, who wear their outer shell so well that you’d have no idea what they’re going through.”

As the In Pieces tour wraps up, we certainly have a lot from the “I Don’t Mind” singer to look back on. In fact, we might even see her in a completely new area of creativity for her given a recent snippet. She recently tried her hand at making a beat, which could develop into even stronger artistic expressions within music. With that in mind, stay logged into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Chlöe.
