Travis Scott Turns Dennis Rodman Into Willy Wonka For Air Jordan Ad

December 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Travis Scott’s ability to brand himself has been exemplary. The rapper has become a superstar on the strength of his music, but his Air Jordan deal has helped him connect with fans outside of hip hop. He continued to push the boundaries on Friday, December 20. Travis Scott dropped a commercial for his Cactus Jack x Air Jordan collaboration. The elaborate commercial stars Scott and, surprisingly, Dennis Rodman as an eccentric riff on Willy Wonka.

The commercial starts with a POV shot of a golden ticket winner. The winner is then transported to a surreal factory where Rodman appears to be in charge. “Welcome to the factory,” he exclaims, before a series of bizarre and disorienting shots occur. Rodman’s character hops on a roller coaster with the main character, and they ultimately arrive at a workshop. Travis Scott is revealed to be the man working at the workshop. He’s not enthused, though. The rollercoaster bumps Scott’s chair, causing the rapper to mess up what he was working on. “Dammit Dennis,” Travis Scott fumes. “Third time this week, bruh.” He then looks over and spots the golden ticket winner. He daps him up and welcomes him before getting back to work.

Travis Scott’s decision to enlist Dennis Rodman is a full circle moment. The rapper and NBA superstar actually had beef back in 2023, when the latter accused Scott of stealing his shoe design. “Travis Scott has copied my shoe,” he said via Instagram Live. “I was the first guy to do mine backward when I was playing with the Chicago Bulls.” Rodman blasted both Scott and Nike for not properly crediting him in their rollout. “Come on, Travis, give us some credit,” he added. “You copied my shoe. So this ain’t new. This ain’t new, brother. But either way, congratulations.”

Travis Scott and Dennis Rodman appear to have set their differences aside. The same cannot be said for Rodman and his daughter, Trinity. She blasted the NBA legend for being an absentee father during a new appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast. Trinity claimed that she doesn’t feel close to Dennis Rodman and the latter replied with a lengthy social media apology. “Sorry I wasn’t the dad you wanted me to be,” he wrote. “But either way I still tried and I still try and never will stop.”

Lil Baby Reveals Tracklist And Features For Upcoming “WHAM” Album

December 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Baby is getting a head start on 2025. The rapper has confirmed that he plans to drop two albums in the first two months of the year. The first album, WHAM, has been described by Lil Baby as more upbeat and aggressive in sound. It’s also slated to come out first, with Dominique dropping at some point during February. The rapper decided to give fans an early Christmas present on December 20, though, when he dropped the album cover for WHAM and the tracklist. Both suggest we have a great record coming in the near future.

The album cover for WHAM is surprisingly minimal. Lil Baby is barely recognizable laid against a black backdrop. His jewelry helps to distinguish his outline, as his chains and rings pop amidst the darkness. The album’s title is etched across Lil Baby’s face. It’s a striking visual, and one that feels more somber and concise that some of his previous releases. Then there’s the feature list. Lil Baby has worked with some of the biggest names in music, but he decided to keep the features largely hip hop based on the new album. WHAM only has six features. All of them are cause for excitement, though.

Lil Baby’s WHAM Is Loaded With Superstar Features

Travis Scott, 21 Savage and Future are set to appear on the album. Lil Baby has worked with all three of these artists in the past, and the results have been excellent. Scott, Savage, and Future all bring different vibes to the table, though, so we’re excited to see how Lil Baby’s sound meshes with theirs. GloRilla and Rod Wave are also going to drop by for guest verses on the upcoming album. Lil Baby hasn’t worked with GloRilla before, but her and Wave have broken out in a major way in 2024. There was also rumors of Baby and Glo being romantically linked, but both have denied said rumors. Hopefully we get chemistry on their song, “Redbone.”

The most exciting feature listed on WHAM, however, is Young Thug. The YSL boss is freed about a very lengthy criminal trial. Fans have been waiting to see Lil Baby and Thugger reunite for quite some time, so all eyes will be on their WHAM collaboration. The star-studded album is set for release on January 3.

Owen Wilson had an epic weekend. On December 14, the Loki actor stormed the stage of Rolling Loud Miami 2024 with headliner Travis Scott.

But when Wilson was not serving as the hype man during Scott’s performance of “Fe!n,” he enjoyed other musicians’ set from the crowd. One of those performances included Sexyy Red.

Well, the now-viral clip captured by a festivalgoer (viewable here), made its way back to Sexyy Red’s desk.

Yesterday (December 15), Sexyy Red took a moment to address leaving Wilson speechless. On X (formerly Twitter), Sexyy reposted the video with the caption: “Dats my baby Owen .”

That flirty response was enough to jump start Sexyy’s followers inner matchmaking skills. Others are now eagerly awaiting Wilson’s forthcoming film inspired by the festival. If Sexyy Red twerking was enough to knock him off of his feet, he has a lot of work to do to prepare for his upcoming role.

For true Sexyy Red fans, this isn’t even her most memorable Rolling Loud Miami moment. Back in 2023, Sexyy Red took was escorted onstage by shirtless men on leashes.

As Travis Scott transitioned into his beloved song “Fe!n” he was joined on stage by an unlikely duet partner Owen Wilson. In the now viral clip (viewable here), Travis Scott took Owen Wilson under his wing to deliver a high energy performance of the standout Utopia track.

Although Wilson didn’t quite have the lyrics to the song memorized he did introduce it with confidence. “I’m feigning for more,” Wilson yelled to the sold out crowd.

As for Scott and Wilson’s shocking collaboration, according to Deadline‘s latest report it could be field research for the actor’s upcoming film, Rolling Loud. The forthcoming film, which is inspired by the namesake music festival, will star Wilson and comedian Matt Rife.

The picture is described as: “An overprotective father (Wilson) who makes a bold parenting decision when he sneaks his 13-year-old son into the world’s largest hip-hop music festival, setting off a chaotic adventure with his reckless co-worker (Rife) and an eccentric festival volunteer as they navigate wild crowds, security, and their own family dynamics.”
