Travis Scott’s Milan Concert Causes Mini Earthquake

Aside from Lil Uzi Vert’s recently released Pink Tape, Travis Scott’s UTOPIA is one of the most highly anticipated albums of 2023. The father of two has been dropping hints about his upcoming work for months now. He may have even hinted at a potential release date on a recent billboard. Even without any new music out, Scott has also been back on the festival circuit this year. Most recently, he made a trip overseas to perform at various events across Europe.

While headlining Longitude Festival in Dublin, Ireland, the Houston native brought his new collaboration with LUV, “Aye” to the stage for the first time. That obviously made headlines along with other Pink Tape promotional antics. However, what’s really got the world talking is Scott’s show in Milan, Italy. According to news reports, it impacted not only attendees but also Mother Earth in a very serious way.

As shown in the video on the last slide of the post above, Travis’ fans were so eager to see him back in action that a literal earthquake took place. “This ni**a different 😂 Thanos $cott,” one Instagram user wrote under @ourgenerationmusic’s post. “Firefighters [received] hundred of calls from the [neighbourhood], window and floor [trembling]. At the end, we’re Italian Travis fans😂🔥,” someone else who was seemingly at the show shared in the comments.

Others were quick to compare the incident to the rapper’s deadly 2021 concert, which forced him to spend several months out of the spotlight as blame was thrown his way for the tragic crowd crush that unfolded. Speaking of Astroworld Festival, it was announced last month that Travis Scott could face criminal charges over the fatal catastrophic event. After some deliberation, however, a jury decided to clear the father of two of any wrongdoing. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Lil Wayne’s Essence Festival Dance Moves Will Leave You Smiling: Watch

Lil Wayne is a man of great confidence – he did say that he’s his own only worthy Verzuz competitor, after all. From the stage to the studio, the Young Money leader has never shied away from speaking his truth and letting his bold personality shine through. Sometimes that finds Weezy ending live performances early due to a lacklustre response from his audience, and other times it shows him making surprise appearances and having a blast on stage.

The latter happened this past weekend at New Orleans’ Essence Festival. Wayne wasn’t on the lineup alongside headliners like Lauryn Hill and Megan Thee Stallion, however, locals were still happy to see Tha Carter himself in an all-pink Rick Owens outfit. In one video that’s making rounds online, Wayne pulls out a Michael Jackson-esque dance routine for his audience, though it was definitely lacking the King of Pop’s sharpness.

Lil Wayne Surprises Fans in New Orleans

“Michael Jackson on moon rocks 😂,” one IG user joked in @2cool2bl0g’s IG comments. “Old Wayne would’ve been dissin’ new Wayne,” someone else suggested. Thankfully there are still those who expressed their joy at seeing the “How to Love” hitmaker in good spirits. The smile that spreads across his face at the end of his dance break proves that Wayne was feeling himself, regardless of what any critics might have to say about him.

During his time on the Essence Festival stage, the Southern star rapped “A Milli” and other hits from his discography. While those in person at the event caught it live, people tuning in at home failed to witness Weezy’s appearance as it wasn’t included in the Hulu live stream. Outside the realm of hip-hop, Lil Wayne has also been connecting with Skip Bayless more frequently as of late. At the end of June, we received an update on their Undisputed project, which you can read all about at the link below. For more music/pop culture news updates, check back in with HNHH later.

Megan Thee Stallion’s Essence Festival Twerk Session Proves She’s Been Putting In Work At The Gym

The ladies of hip-hop and R&B brought plenty of heat to the Essence Festival stage this past weekend. From Janelle Monae continuing her salacious flashing streak during her performance to Megan Thee Stallion captivating us with her usual twerking antics, we’ve truly seen it all. The latter artist was a headliner at the annual event on Sunday (June 2) evening, following Lauryn Hill’s astonishing (albeit late) set the night before.

She hasn’t given us new music since 2022’s Traumazine, but still, the Houston Hottie has been booked and busy with performances over the past few months. Her first show of the year was at the AT&T Block Party, followed more recently by LA’s Pride in the Park celebration. All of them saw Thee Stallion shaking her booty in full force, though her most recent left plenty of jaws on the floor as her cake continues to grow thanks to all the hard work she’s been putting in at the gym.

Megan Thee Stallion Headlines Essence Festival 2023

During her time on stage, the Revlon ambassador ran through some of her discography’s biggest hits, including “Big Ole Freak,” “Body,” and “Plan B.” Elsewhere she performed her verse from Cardi B’s “WAP,” as well as the “S*vage (Remix),” sans Beyonce.

At Pride, Thee Stallion’s costume was black and silver in colour, leaving her shining bright like a diamond. For Essence Fest, she stepped out in a golden ensemble that gives a bold view of her chest and behind. Gold seems to be a personal favourite of the rap diva’s lately, as she wore a bikini in the same colour while filming a thirst trap video for Instagram this past weekend.

Rihanna Beats The Barbados Heat By Making Snowcones With Her Baby Bump Out: Video

It feels like just yesterday when Rihanna shared the news of her second pregnancy with the world, but as we move into July, it’s obvious that the singer’s due date is rapidly approaching. After a quick trip to Paris in support of Pharrell (whose Louis Vuitton campaign Rih recently modelled for), they headed off to her home country, Barbados, for some rest and relaxation in the sun before becoming a family of four. It hasn’t been all play as Rocky was filming a music video last week. Nevertheless, his girlfriend is ensuring he gets his share of play too.

On Sunday (July 2), adorable videos of Rihanna showing off her snowcone-making skills began going viral. The 35-year-old has a natural glow to her, wearing an unbuttoned denim skirt and a black tank top to show off her ready-to-burst baby bump. According to Just Jared, “Snowcone Man” Andrew Maynard specially delivered the sweet treat to the National Hero, and the Bad Gal happily obliged to pose for a photo with him and Rocky.

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

It’s been said that Rihanna had a serious craving for snowcones, and was happy to treat herself in ginger and coconut flavours. As for the New Yorker, he mixed coconut and Hennessy, clearly enjoying his time in Barbados. It’s unclear how long the lovers plan to stay, but we’re certainly enjoying seeing them in their natural element.

As she nears closer to giving birth to her and ASAP Rocky’s second baby, Rihanna has nothing but “Love on the Brain.” She’s likely not planning on sharing new music with us anytime soon, but still, that didn’t stop the island gyal from bragging about a major streaming milestone on social media last week. Read what Rih had to say at the link below, and check back later for more music/pop culture news updates.

JT Says Lil Uzi Vert Is Her “Favorite Thing To Eat”

In a hilarious clip shared to social media, JT pointed at Lil Uzi Vert when asked what her “favorite thing to eat” was. The couple was riding in Uzi’s new drop-top Rolls-Royce Cullinan when the question was asked to JT at a stoplight. She broke out laughing as the car pulled away.

However, not everyone has found the clip that funny. JT most recently made headlines for reportedly assaulting Uzi while at the BET Awards last weekend. Per reports, the City Girl threw a phone at Uzi over them shouting out Ice Spice during their performance. Furthermore, JT was reportedly heard cursing out Uzi. “Fucking groupie… BITCH, fuck wrong with you, bitch… gimme my fucking phone, bitch.” “He said “eat” not “beat”,” remarked one person in the comments of the video, reshared by The Neighborhood Talk.

JT & Lil Uzi Vert Drama Explained

It appears that the phone-throwing incident was just the start of the drama between the couple this week. JT’s representative told TMZ that the blowup was over the rapper losing her seat during the event. Then images of JT and Uzi embracing at the release of The Pink Tape emerged, suggesting that the couple was doing alright.

Meanwhile, Trick Daddy came out with a very strongly-worded defense of JT. “Y’all know when I get live I got some shit to say,” Trick said. “Let me explain something to you n****s. If you not from Miami, if you not from the state of Florida, leave our Miami and Florida bitches alone if you don’t understand them. “All y’all bitches got something to say about JT. ‘Oh, she was ratchet, too ghetto.’ That’s what you get when you fuck with a Miami bitch. I actually thought she represented. That’s my homegirl man. That’s my homegirl, that’s how Miami bitches react, that’s how they behave, that’s how we was raised.”

Megan Thee Stallion Serves Trophy Wife In A Barely-There Gold Bikini: Video

Hot Girl Summer is well underway, and so many of our favourite artists have already made their presence felt with scantily clad social media posts. Megan Thee Stallion, of course, is an expert at this and is clearly feeling herself after spending months out of the spotlight and in the gym sculpting her body-ody-ody. The Houston native has yet to address the rumours of her split from Pardison Fontaine and new romance with Romelu Lukaku, but regardless of who she’s dating, Meg continues to confidently flaunt her famous figure on Instagram.

Earlier this week, the “Big Ole Freak” artist switched out her signature black hair for a blue wig, worn with a tiny metallic bikini for a photoshoot. Thee Stallion pulled that bold look off effortlessly, and on Saturday (July 1), she proved just how wide her range is by posting up in a blonde bob. The flirtatious hairstyle perfectly matches the Southern starlet’s gold bikini, and her bodacious body would surely make Megan the perfect trophy wife.

Megan Thee Stallion Does It Again

Soundtracked to Jagged Edge and Ashanti’s “Put A Little Umph In It,” the short and sweet video shows the 28-year-old channelling her inner Barbie girl. She wears plenty of elegant gold and pink accessories with her swimsuit, also keeping a lip gloss tucked in the side of her bottoms for easy reapplication. It’s unclear if Thee Stallion was shooting a promotional video, or simply capturing content to keep fans satisfied while she focuses on her mental health.

Megan Thee Stallion has always been one to set the Hot Girl Summer standard for her fans with her salacious social media content. She’s already shared that we likely won’t be hearing new music from her anytime soon, but she’s got plenty of thirst traps ready to keep all eyes on her. Check out one of the rap diva’s latest TikTok vlogs below, and tap back in later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Sexyy Red DMs Chief Keef & Lil Baby, Twerks, And Throws Racks In “Looking For The H*es (Ain’t My Fault)” Video

Sexyy Red is enjoying her moment in the spotlight lately, revelling not only in the enjoyment of working with Nicki Minaj on “Pound Town 2,” but also appearing at the BET Awards alongside so many of our favourite artists. At one point in the evening, the rising starlet gave a performance in the aisles, with a very pregnant Chrisean Rock happily twerking on her as hip-hop’s finest cheered them on. While she didn’t have a new release for us this New Music Friday, Red did have a music video for one of her Hood Hottest Princess album that’s sure to catch your attention.

In the NSFW video for “Looking For The H*es (Ain’t My Fault),” we see the salacious spitter DMing both Chief Keef and Lil Baby, making it clear that she’s on a mission to find a man. Elsewhere in the clip, we see Red twerking and throwing racks while on the counter with friends before letting loose and getting ratchet during a pool party and at the club. “I’m so f**kin’ sexy, you can’t even fake it / Got that ni**a nuttin’ and I think his a** was Haitian,” are just some of her wild lyrics.

Sexyy Red Shares New Visual from Hood Hottest Princess

As Uproxx notes, “Looking For The H*es” samples Silkk The Shocker’s 1998 single, “It Ain’t My Fault,” earning Red tons of love from hip-hop heads. Her debut mixtape has brought in far more success than Red anticipated, including collaborations with ATL Jacob, Juicy J, Sukihana, and Tay Keith. It’s only the beginning for the controversial starlet, but fingers crossed she has more fire coming our way as she continues to grow as a creative.

Cardi B Seen Filming “Point Me To The Sl**s (Remix)” Video With Fendi Da Rapper

Cardi B’s debut album, Invasion of Privacy, won’t be easy for her to top. The New York native took home a Grammy for her work on the LP. Additionally, she connected with an incredible roster of collaborators, including SZA, Kehlani, Migos, Bad Bunny, and J Balvin. It’s been over five years since that project landed. After much delay, Cardi has promised that her sophomore effort is due to arrive in 2023. However, an official release date hasn’t been shared quite yet.

The only release we’ve heard from her this year was on Latto’s “Put It On Da Floor Again” this month. It’s already become a strong contender for the song of the summer. Other rap divas like Yung Miami, GloRilla, and Omeretta are already either teasing or releasing remixes to the track. As fans continue to eat that up, it seems Cardi has been hard at work on another joint effort that’s sure to be stuck in our heads this summer.

Cardi B Jumps on Yet Another Remix

In a 42-second video circulating on Twitter, the “WAP” artist is on set of a music video. She appears with Fendi Da Rapper and a crew of others hyping them up. It seems Cardi has added a verse to Fendi’s “Point Me To The Sl**s,” which hit streamers back in December 2022 and has amassed nearly three million Spotify streams since. She looks confident while dancing in front of the camera, dropping it low like only she can in a tight blue outfit.

Just a few weeks ago, Cardi B didn’t hold back while ranting on IG Live about her plans for future collaborations. The mother of two shared at the time that she feels confident enough to pursue unexpected joint efforts instead of just jumping on things that are trending and sure to naturally gain traction. Read what Cardi had to say at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

The Game & Monica’s Steamy Bathtub Scene In “Letters” Music Video Gets Thumbs Down From Her Son

Like many other starlets stepping into their 40s, R&B singer Monica is proving that age is just a number – and you’re certainly never too old to turn up the heat. She may not be putting her personal love life on blast, but the black-haired beauty did get up close and personal with The Game for her latest music video, which she’s been previewing on Instagram for a few days now. In one teaser posted to her profile, Monica is seen getting cozy with the “Hate It Or Love It” hitmaker in the bathtub, bubbles keeping them (somewhat) modest in front of the camera.

As per Complex, 15-year-old Romelo Montez Hill obviously wasn’t feeling his mom’s post. “Yo what is this,” the teen wrote in the comments, markedly earning a laugh from many sympathetic fans who wouldn’t want to be in the same situation with their mom. Upon seeing the comment, Monica screenshotted it and shared it to her Story, writing “Somebody please tell Lil Daddy take a day off.”

When replying to him under her post, the 42-year-old assured Romelo, “SON… It’s like a movie!! Momma at work.” While Monica is fiending off the awkwardness from her son’s reaction to her video, The Game seems to be enjoying the attention coming his way.

“They said, ‘Make it make sense,’” he wrote in the caption, seemingly referring to the direction he was given on set. “I said, ‘No problem,’” the father of three added, including various receipts of him and Monica boo’d up in his post to back up his confident claims.

Cuban Link Exposes What It’s Really Like To Date 50 Cent

Cuban Link, born Jamira Haines, has shared a hilarious new clip with her Instagram followers. In the clip, she exposes the reality of dating 50 Cent, revealing that it’s not always all it’s cracked up to be. She showcases images of herself looking less than thrilled as the rapper appears to smush her in his sleep.

“Some nights I can’t breathe but I’m alive!,” she captioned the clip. Fans rushed to Cuban Link’s comments section to weigh in on the funny Instagram vs. Reality comparison. “It’s the choke hold for me,” writes one social media user, alongside a series of laughing emojis. “That mean you are his peace and I love it!!!,” another commenter adds.

The pair have been together since 2019, even sparking some engagement rumors earlier this year. In April, Cuban Link posted a sweet clip to Instagram where she’s seen hyping up her man at one of his shows. She’s shown recording him from the side of the stage, and fans were quick to note some major bling on her ring finger. A rep for 50 Cent later shut down the rumors, revealing that the happy couple has yet to take that step in their relationship.

In March of this year, 50 Cent told Mary J. Blige on The Wine Down that he just loves to make Cuban Link happy. “I’m in a friendship with a woman, and I’m finding gratification out of seeing her happy,” he explained. The rapper continued, describing his love for Cuban Link. “At that point, I think I’m in love with her,” he revealed, “‘Cause even if her friends or her people are there, and they’re doing their thing, I’m happy because I know she’s really happy at that point. You understand? It’s not necessarily coming from me, but that’s how I interpret love.
