Cardi B’s Next Album Receives Multiple Updates Including A Handful Of Possible Titles

by

Cardi B has endured a lot of misfortunes and obstacles throughout 2024. Currently, she is dealing with the messy divorce from on-again, off-again partner Offset. Additionally, on a more positive note, she announced her third pregnancy just a few days ago in emotional fashion on social media. “You’ve reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion! I love you so much and can not wait for you to witness what you helped me accomplish, what you pushed me to do!”. Thankfully, the small wins keep coming for Cardi B as there are several updates for her sophomore album.

According to some legal documents acquired by TMZ Hip Hop, the “Bartier Cardi” rapper is wrestling between a couple of titles. Defamation of Character and Intrusive Thoughts are the two options at the moment and in that same paperwork she’s looking to trademark both phrases. Additionally, “she wants the phrases for music videos and downloadable music files, plus potential other uses”. Furthermore, Cardi B is apparently three quarters of the way done and she’s really hoping to have it out before the end of the year.

With the album names we have at our disposal, this potentially foreshadows a very personal tape. We got some hints of learning more about who Cardi is on Invasion of Privacy. However, it mostly gunned for big hits which it wound up succeeding in doing. The New York native has an incredible opportunity on her hands as she has so much topical potential based on everything she has been going through. Cardi has us on the edge of seats and we cannot wait for what’s next.

What are your thoughts on Cardi B’s album title options? With this new update in mind, how soon do you think she will drop the project now? Is this LP going to top her 2018 debut? Could this be the most important body of work she releases ever, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Cardi B. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Kanye West Files 26 Trademarks For “YEWS”: Report

by

Kanye West reportedly filed to get several trademarks for the name “YEWS”- 28, to be exact- according to a report from TMZ. Moreover, the documents in question indicate that he wants to use the term for financial services, clothing, sneakers, and much more. Of course, this is a pretty concerning and likely insensitive and inflammatory reference to the Chicago artist’s antisemitic controversies as of late. Those continue to dog him, despite speculation of a new album that has fans sadly leaving all that in the past. Whether the rapper wants to intentionally use the term “Jews” for branding purposes or not, these trademark filings are still pretty unclear regardless.

Furthermore, the 46-year-old or his team apparently submitted this filing earlier in October, from what TMZ‘s obtained docs indicate. It’s reportedly linked to an LLC that goes by the name of Ox Paha, Inc., one that’s never been associated with his career in the past. Regardless, the request for trademark contains an address that links to Kanye West’s office on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, California. As of writing this article, though, the large breadth of these trademark intentions don’t indicate a specific or particular use of the term “YEWS”- instead, it goes through just about every possibility for it.

Kanye West Reportedly Wants To Use “YEWS” Term For His Products

According to these new reports, the new trademark would be for clothing, financial services, and real estate. In addition, it could also apply to accessories like footwear and headwear, as well as beauty products, restaurants, and many other extracurricular endeavors. Before you get too worried if you’re a Kanye West stan, though, don’t worry: it seems like he also covered his roots. For example, the “YEWS” trademark could also reportedly apply to music, audio, and general entertainment content.

Meanwhile, this might become relevant soon, as the Yeezy mogul is apparently hard at work on new music with Ty Dolla $ign and many more. Still, this isn’t just an eyebrow-raiser for the trademark term, but also because it feels like we’re in the middle of an album rollout. With no sign of accountability or any real regret when it comes to his actions, we might be in for another chaotic and harmful ride. With that in mind, stay posted on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Kanye West.

Rihanna Files Trademark For Swimwear

by

Rihanna has filed a trademark to be used in connection with sunglasses & swimwear. The chosen wordmark in the filing is “RIRI.” The motion also describes the swimwear line as being for a brand that includes coats, neckwear, belts, and shoes.

The move comes as the latest expansion for the singer who trademarked the brand name “Fenty Kids” back in January. At the time, that motion noted the sale of “infant wear, swimwear, hats, underwear, footwear, leggings, socks.” That choice came after Rihanna welcomed her own child into the world with A$AP Rocky. Speaking with Elle for an interview, earlier this month, she admitted that motherhood has inspired her work. “Becoming a mother has only added to the inspiration in my life. I’ve had to find the balance between an efficient routine that maximizes precious ‘me’ time and full glam, because I really enjoy that colorful creative process,” she told the outlet.

Rihanna previously hinted at expanding Savage X Fenty to include a kids line in November 2022. “We didn’t get there yet but it’s something that I might do. We’ll see,” she told Vogue. “I would have so much fun with that. Anything in miniature is just so cute.”

As for music, there have been rumors about Rihanna releasing a new album at some point this year and possibly touring in promotion of it. Her partner, A$AP Rocky, confirmed that Rihanna has been working on new music during an interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music 1 in January. “Yeah, I’m super excited,” he said of Rihanna’s Super Bowl Halftime performance. “This is as huge. This is incredible. I’m so glad that my lady’s back making music again and whatnot, and getting back out there.” Rihanna has kept quieter about her plans for another album.

Rihanna Reportedly Files “Fenty Kids” Clothing Line Trademark

by

Rihanna reportedly filed a trademark for a “Fenty Kids” clothing line, although that doesn’t mean she’s starting one anytime soon. However, the trademark does protect the name from use by other entities. Moreover, reports indicate that the star singer and upcoming Super Bowl halftime show performer filed on January 20th.

Furthermore, the motion describes the trademarked line as including “infant wear, swimwear, hats, underwear, footwear, leggings, socks,” and lots more. In fact, the patent even included baby bibs, booties, caps, and cloth diapers. While it seems hilariously exhaustive, you’d be surprised at how important it is to keep your patent affairs in order. Given Rihanna’s status, exposure, and variety of endeavors, she made a smart move.

Overall, the line’s products support a child from birth to toddler status, at least based on the described items. However, the trademark doesn’t mean that the “Diamonds” artist is guaranteed to launch a line in the future. In fact, it just means that other entities from infringing on the Fenty name.

Meanwhile, Rihanna filed for a trademark of “Fenty Hair” back in March of 2021. According to Highsnobiety, it protects “several hair products, from straightening devices to medicated treatments for dandruff.” Still, the mother of one is busier than ever, with a whole spectacle to organize for next week.

Moreover, Apple Music just launched their “Rihanna’s Road to Halftime” campaign. Among other elements, they’ll release an interview with Rihanna ahead of her Super Bowl performance. Also, the initiative gave fans the chance to listen to her incredible catalog in Spatial Audio. Additionally, new content includes programming for a series on past Super Bowl performances and one dedicated to the star herself.

“Rihanna is one of the most prolific artists of our time, and we, along with her many fans across the globe, cannot wait to see her take the stage at the first Apple Music Super Bowl Halftime Show,” Apple’s VP of Apple Music and Beats, Oliver Schusser, stated. “We are excited to celebrate Rihanna, and give her fans a new way to experience her music with Spatial Audio, as well as exclusive content from Apple Music.”

Still, what do you think of Rihanna filing a trademark for “Fenty Kids”? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, log back into HNHH for the latest on Rihanna and her many hats.
