Lil Yachty Concert Shut Down After Five Songs Over Safety Concerns

October 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Lil Yachty’s concert in Vancouver lasted just five songs before it was shut down over safety concerns. Yachty had invited as many people as possible to join the mosh pit, an invitation that the venue took issue with. A huge mass of people could be seen trying to enter that section of the venue. Security then tried to get them to leave the pit, with many fans refusing to do so. Citing safety concerns, the concert was then ended by the venue.

Yachty is yet to release a statement about the incident. The show was the first on a North American and European tour that runs for the rest of the year. The next show is scheduled for tonight in Portland. Furthermore, Yachty remains in North America until early November. Then, following a two-week break, he will continue the tour in Europe, beginning in Oslo.

However, it’s not all been bad news for Yachty as of late. Billie Eilish recently gave her stamp of approval on Yachty’s NSFW namedrop on his recent Drake feature. On “Another Late Night”, in which Drake also addressed allegations surrounding Millie Bobby Brown, Yachty shouted out the 21-year-old pop star. “I let her go, she fine as hell but baby wasn’t stylish / She had big t-ts like Billie Eilish, but she couldn’t sing (Drip),” Yachty rapped on his verse.

The lyrics then popped up in an Instagram post of Eilish’s alongside images of various activities such as biking and a shot of the singer’s new tattoo. While Eilish didn’t say anything specific, the inclusion of the lyrics appears to be a sign of approval. Of course, it’s not the first time Eilish has been name-dropped in a rap track. Armani White named a whole track after Eilish, with the line “Glock tucked, big t-shirt Billie Eilish” becoming a viral sound for thirst trap transitions on TikTok.

50 Cent Hands Out Shots In The Club After Performing In Vancouver

September 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

When it comes to keeping the party alive, few celebrities can match the charisma and energy of rapper 50 Cent. Over the weekend, the hip-hop mogul and entrepreneur did what he does best. He partied “In Da Club” and created unforgettable moments. But this time, it wasn’t just about his music. It was about the shared joy of good times and camaraderie. And this was all thanks to a generous round of shots that 50 Cent passed out himself at the club. Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, who’s currently on his The Final Lap tour, made a memorable stop at Rogers Arena in Vancouver on Friday night (Sept. 8). The electrifying performance featured special guests Busta Rhymes and Jeremih. For the eight Canadian dates of the tour, Toronto rapper Pressa was added as a special guest. Following the arena show, he continued the party spirit by gracing Gallery nightclub with his presence for an unforgettable afterparty.

Subsequently, videos circulated on social media as 50 Cent performed at the exclusive club and made his presence felt. The rapper decided to add a personal touch to his nightclub appearance. Instead of merely performing his hits and basking in the limelight, he took the stage. In a spontaneous act of generosity, he began passing out shots of top-shelf liquor to the crowd.

Undoubtedly, 50 Cent’s larger-than-life presence commanded the attention of everyone in attendance. As he handed out the shots, his infectious grin and magnetic charisma lit up the room. Fans and partygoers eagerly accepted the unexpected gifts, toasting to the night and relishing the unique experience. It wasn’t just about the alcohol; it was about the shared moment, the unity, and the thrill of celebrating life with a legendary artist. Of course, the rapper didn’t stop there. He mingled with fans, posed for selfies, and even joined in on a dance or two. It was a night that clubgoers will undoubtedly remember for a long time to come, not just for the music but for the unforgettable connection they shared with one of the most iconic figures in the hip-hop industry.

For fans who want their moment with Fif, there’s still opportunities to see him on tour. The Final Lap tour commemorates the 20th anniversary of 50 Cent’s iconic album, Get Rich or Die Tryin with classic tracks like “In Da Club” and “P.I.M.P.” Aligning with the 50th anniversary of hip-hop, The Final Lap tour signifies what may be 50 Cent’s ultimate extensive journey on the road. Over the past decade, his musical output has been relatively scarce, but his moves in the television industry have grown tenfold. 50 Cent’s decision to pass out shots of liquor in the club over the weekend wasn’t just about a good time; it was a testament to the enduring power of music to create moments of joy and unity.

Drake & Travis Scott Perform “MELTDOWN” For The First Time Ever In Vancouver: Watch

August 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Drake and Travis Scott brought the heat to Vancouver, BC on Tuesday night. After Drake postponed his Monday night concert in the Canadian city, the rapper made sure that he made up for it on Tuesday. Since 21 Savage hasn’t been able to make it, Drake has replaced him on selected dates with equally enthralling artists. In Montreal, for example, Drake brought out J. Cole for two nights in a row. Travis Scott appears to be the replacement for the remainder of the Canadian dates.

For the first time ever, Drake and Travis Scott performed their new collaboration, “MELTDOWN” off of Scott’s Utopia. “For the first time ever in Vancouver. Astro and the Boy. We in this b*tch! T Time!!!” Drake yelled before leaping into his verse. Fans sang the lyrics back bar-for-bar before Scott’s “is you f*ckin’ crazy” hook kicked in. It definitely lived up to the energy the two delivered on the album version of “MELTDOWN.” It’s an especially big moment since it seems that Drake’s waited for Travis Scott in order to perform the record live.

Drake & Travis Scott Shut Down Vancouver

With a bank of collaborations dating back to 2015, Drake and Travis Scott gave fans a spectacle on Tuesday night. Of course, it wouldn’t have been right if they didn’t perform their diamond-certified single “SICKO MODE,” either. Beyond that, Scott also dove into a handful of records from his new album including “FEIN” and “I KNOW.” From the videos that have emerged, Travis Scott definitely didn’t disappoint his fans who were in attendance at the Vancouver show.

Perhaps, we could expect the two artists to slide through with more music once For All The Dogs drops. Drake has yet to cement a release date for the project but it seems like it’ll likely arrive before the end of the year. Fans anticipated the album would drop last Friday, largely due to reports from Billboard and Amazon Music that confirmed an Aug. 25th release date. Ultimately, fans were left disappointed but he’s provided fans with updates on the way and suggested it would drop before he concludes his tour.

Drake’s Vancouver Concert Postponement Upsets Canadian Fans

August 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Though Drake originally hails from Canada, and he takes plenty of pride in being the 6ix God, his performances in his home country don’t always go as planned. Unfortunately for those in Vancouver hoping to attend his It’s All a Blur show on Monday (August 28), they were met with news of a last-minute postponement to Wednesday evening. Many were obviously upset by the news, especially after spending their afternoon getting ready and pre-gaming, but thankfully it’s not all bad news.

While 21 Savage has been joining Champagne Papi on stages across North America this summer, rumour has it that Travis Scott will be making an appearance. The father of two’s private jet reportedly landed on the west coast yesterday, meaning that if we don’t see him perform “MELTDOWN” or “SICKO MODE,” we’ll likely at least see him raging along to Drake’s set in the audience.

Drake Promises Vancouver a Memorable Performance

“Vancouver it’s T-TIME [tomorrow], don’t you worry,” the Certified Lover Boy artist promised his followers via Instagram. Of course, due to the last-minute rescheduling of the show, some of those who had tickets for Monday won’t be able to make it to Wednesday’s performance. This left them understandably upset, though some of them chose to channel their anger in a less-than-flattering fashion.

In the video below, those waiting outside the latest It’s All a Blur tour stop venue lash out at an employee delivering the sad news to them. “It’s out of our control,” the Rogers Arena staff member reminded the disgruntled group. As HipHopDX reports, the only reason disclosed for the rescheduled event is ongoing issues with the “newly installed scoreboard.”

Fans React to Show’s Postponement

Do you think the Vancouver fans were out of pocket for yelling at Rogers Arena staff over Drake’s concert postponement? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
