Kevin Gates Thanks Kevin Durant & Others For Getting Him In Shape For Tour

Kevin GatesOnly The Generals tour with BigXThaPlug is hitting a city near you starting October 16, and Gates is getting physically prepped for it. Moreover, during a recent conversation with TMZ, he thanked Kevin Durant, DeMar DeRozan, and Chris “Lethal Shooter” Matthews as his favorite players to play with apart from his time in The Crew League. Not only that, but the Louisiana native remarked that these NBA stars gave him some tips and tricks when it comes to getting in shape. In addition, he’s been adding to that bulk with a personal trainer. As such, it seems like the Baton Rouge MC wants his body to be at peak capacity for every single show.

“I workout, I do a lot of stability training, a lot of hip mobility,” Kevin Gates told the outlet. “Gotta do a lot of yoga, I do weights. I do squats. They got this person, my personal trainer be tryin’ to kill me. Be making me do these deep squats with kettlebells. This what it’s about right now.” Check out the tour dates for his Only The Generals tour below, which you can purchase tickets for here.

In addition, the 37-year-old also specifically thanked the Phoenix Suns star for helping him with his breath control. In fact, it looks like what KD had to say about the court is equally good advice for pretty much anything in life that needs overcoming. “[Kevin Durant] told me to breathe, and don’t worry about the last bucket, focus on the present bucket,” Kevin Gates shared. “And it correlates to life. Like, don’t focus on the past, focus on the present. Try to stay in the moment.”

Meanwhile, it seems like the “Rumors” lyricist is setting up this tour with a slew of new releases. Not only does he have two albums out this year, but he also keeps dropping lead-up singles and a prolific work pace. Seems like dedication is a highly transferrable skill, whether on the court or in your career. On that note, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Kevin Gates.

Cardi B Updates Fans On New Album & Tour, Says She Wants To Work With This MC

Cardi B’s promo appearances for her new Megan Thee Stallion collab single “Bongos” has been absolutely relentless so far. Her latest appearance, on Andy Cohen’s show Watch What Happens Live, also gave fans some insight into her next career moves. Moreover, the Bronx artist answered some of Cohen’s questions about the timeline of her new album, her sophomore effort, and its supporting tour. First things first: unfortunately, Bardi season won’t kick off in full force with an LP until next year. However, at least she confirmed that there will, in fact, be a big tour after her project comes out.

Other than that, she didn’t offer too many details, but she came through with the fun and vibrant content and persona that we know her for. For example, when asked by Andy Cohen what her Real Housewives tagline would be, the 30-year-old couldn’t help but reference a big controversy she faced earlier this year. “The only thing I throw harder than mics is shade,” Cardi B said to the camera with a laugh. What do you think, folks: is she getting an invite anytime soon?

Jokes aside, the “Up” hitmaker also answered a question about a long-rumored and awaited collaboration: Lil Kim. “I really do want one,” Cardi B remarked. “I’m going through the songs on my album right now… I want us to have such a great, undeniable song because I know people are going to judge it and be so harsh of it. So, I want to make sure it is the greatest song. But I would love, love, love to do a song with Lil Kim. I love her. And not because she’s Lil Kim, but because she’s such a nice person.”

Meanwhile, we’ll see if she pulls out any other big singles, announcements, or teases in the lead-up to CB2.

For someone of the First Lady of Young Money’s status and acclaim, a world tour seems like the only thing large enough to fit her magnitude. With “Last Time I Saw You,” Nicki Minaj feels all the more grateful for this success, and shared some kind words with fans. “I can’t thank you enough for your love and continued support,” the 40-year-old shared. “I have not been excited about the release of a song to this extent for maybe, I don’t know, I can’t even tell you, I don’t even remember when!”

She continued, “I hope that it’s therapeutic for you. I hope that even after, it makes you reflect. If you are reflecting on a time, or a person that you wish you could go back in time and have a do over etc… I hope that you are still able to smile at the end of the song by realizing that you now have a chance to treat the people that you love, that are still in your life the way that expresses to them what they mean to you. In the meantime, please enjoy the song as much as I have enjoyed creating it. Just know that Pink Friday 2 is going to be the best album that’s been released in years!!! LOVE YOU.” For more news and the latest updates on Nicki Minaj, check back in with HNHH.

SAIAH Drops Emotive New Single, “ihateyouandyouhatemetoo”

Phoenix-based artist SAIAH just dropped their first single of 2023, the moody but cathartic “ihateyouandyouhatemetoo.” Moreover, the track is an alt-rock and indie-tinged exploration of a recent relationship coming to an end. While its lyrics and subject matter sound defeated, the song’s sonic development points towards a brighter resolution.

Furthermore, the instrumental is a light, atmospheric, and soothing collection of acoustic guitar, cloudy synth patches, and soft pianos. Even if the track is bogged down in heartache, its emotive and nuanced lyrics reflect the track’s optimistic melancholy. Overall, it sounds like the kind of track that will energize you some days and make you stare longingly out a car window on others.

“‘ihateyouandyouhatemeto’ is about a love that is spiritual,” SAIAH expressed. “A love that isn’t waning. The truth behind the thin line between love and hate. Love will prevail.”

Moreover, they explore the moments after a breakup just reached its peak, and all different kinds of emotions are swirling through. For example, the booming chorus might give listeners a blast of raw anger, but their verses convey acceptance as well. Throughout its runtime, SAIAH successfully balances the nuance in moving on from someone else.

Also, new music isn’t all that SAIAH excited fans with this week. In addition, they announced a spring tour sharing dates with the band easy life. What’s more is that these live experiences tie deeply into their artistry. Furthermore, “ihateyouandyouhatemetoo” boasts production from Jack Kolbe, who’s also worked with Jelani Aryeh. However, SAIAH’s touring band member Estelle Allen also contributed guitar parts to this cut.

Still, what did you think of SAIAH’s latest track, “ihateyouandyouhatemetoo”? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments and check out the music video and some quotable lines from the song down below. Also, if you haven’t heard this new single, you can find it on your preferred streaming service. As always, come back to HNHH for the best new music releases every week.

Quotable Lyrics

There you were righteous, it’s been months you walked out,
Told me not to follow you down south, and fair
In December, the winter nights
Feel cold now and I feel so alone child
