Eminem may be one of the biggest musical superstars in the world, but even he’s too grounded to find the prospect of a world tour too appealing. At least, that was the case years ago according to a new story that 50 Cent shared with CBS Mornings‘ Michelle Miller. According to Fif, he once proposed to Em that they and Dr. Dre go on a massive joint world tour together, and it looks like this would’ve been at the height of their powers. However, as the G-Unit mogul explained, it seems like the Detroit legend had a very personal and wholesome reason to turn it down, even if 50 didn’t see it that way back then.
“‘We’ll be on super arena stages, just me and you,’” 50 Cent recalled telling Eminem. “‘Then if we bring [Dr. Dre] on some dates, so we do different things. We don’t need nothing else. It’ll be the biggest tour in the world.’ He said, ‘I just don’t want to go and come back and Hailie’s grown.’ I thought he was crazy because I was like, ‘He just don’t want to go.’
“Cause I was trying to convince him to go on the tour at that point,” 50 Cent went on. “And then… I was at Hailie’s wedding. She got married and I’m like, ‘This is what he’s talking about.’” In fact, here’s what 50 said about Eminem’s daughter’s wedding in a Haute Living interview. ““I wish I had a daughter, I do, I wish I had a daughter,” he admitted. “I wish I had that [father-daughter] relationship. For female children, their dad is the first man they fall in love with. Male children go to their mom; I’m a mama’s boy myself.
“It was unbelievable, the wildest thing for me, period,” 50 Cent continued his remarks. “I was like, ‘Yo, bro, this is cr*zy. We’re getting old. Your baby is grown. What the f**k is going on?’ I was having a moment myself over there. I told [Eminem], ‘You said it was OK to cry? Because I’m crying.’ I couldn’t believe it went that fast.”
Nicki Minaj says she’s recorded a song that will be a fan-favorite off of the upcoming deluxe version of Pink Friday 2. She took to X (formerly Twitter) to share the news on Monday afternoon. “Well, Barbz- Didn’t really want to have to speak on this but I just can’t stay quiet about it any longer,” she wrote. “Last night, I recorded what will probably be your favorite song on the deluxe. It will immediately go into your TOP 5 of the entire PF2 era. OH MY FREAKING GOODNESSWDRFFHJKGV.”
The post had fans stoked in the replies. “Imagine if u released it the night before tour starts up again, BARBZ CHRISTMAS EVE,” one user wrote, referencing the second leg of her Pink Friday 2 World Tour. Another fan added: “I hope this is true. I don’t think red ruby can be topped but we’ll see.”

The post comes after Minaj recently confirmed that the release of the deluxe album is nearing. “#TheAnxietySong will be on my deluxe album,” she captioned a video of her listening to the track “Anxiety,” over the weekend. “Coming real soon. PF2 #GagCityReloaded DELUXE ALBUM [pink bow emoji] we are now 10 DAYS away #GagCityPHILLY [pink bow emoji]. How many songs do you want added to the DELUXE ALBUM?”

Rihanna is nothing if not patient. The pop superstar has been teasing fans with new music for nearly a decade. Somehow, there’s still no concrete details. That being said, a new report by the UK outlet The Sun claims to have the inside scoop of Ri’s upcoming moves. If they are to be believed, fans will get the comeback they’ve been waiting for. The outlet posited that Rihanna is “on the cusp” of dropping her new album, and will promptly support it with a world tour in 2025.
The claims were made by Sun journalist Jason Hardwick. He promised fans that he had inside info from Rihanna’s camp, and the pop star is planning a full-on return to the spotlight. “Rihanna’s ninth album is finally on the cusp of being released,” he asserted. If Hardwick’s claims are true, then it makes the other news even more thrilling. “[Rihanna is] also in talks for a huge world tour throughout 2025, which has the potential to be one of the biggest comebacks of all time.” Furthermore, the outlet posits that Rihanna will keep the momentum from her tour going. She’s allegedly considering a headline set at Glastonbury.

Rihanna allegedly booked a headline set at the legendary festival in 2023. Her second pregnancy kept her from performing, however. “I understand she is once again at the top of Glastonbury’s list to headline next summer’s event,” Hardwick added. The only way to validate these claims, of course, is to find out if they come true. Rihanna has been intensely private when it comes to the rollout for her new album. She told Entertainment Tonight that it took a little bit of time to shake the cobwebs off in the studio. “Music, for me, is a new discovery,” she claimed. “I’ve been working on the album for so long that I put all that aside. Now I’m ready to get back in the studio.”
As thrilling as it was to know Rihanna was in the studio, fans were dealt a blow in June. The pop star told the outlet that she was starting the album from scratch. Evidently, she wanted to improve on what she’d already recorded. “I’m starting over, but I don’t want to neglect the songs I already have,” she noted. “I want to listen to everything with new ears. From my new perspective, and see what.. resonate with me.” Rihanna’s partner, ASAP Rocky, is slated to make his comeback in August, so hopefully she follows suit.
Ski Mask The Slump God is fully embracing a comeback. The explosive rapper just released his first new studio album in 6 years. The new album is called 11th Dimension and it follows his 2018 debut effort STOKELEY. It also follows his 2021 project Sin City The Mixtape which spawned hits like “The Matrix” and “Dr. Suess.”
The new album is very much a group project. Ski delivers posthumous guest appearances from both XXXTENTACION and Juice Wrld who he worked with frequently before their respective deaths. ATL Jacob, Future, Skillibeng, and Corbin also appear on the album. 11th Dimension was teased by two singles “Shibuya” and “Headrush” which both dropped earlier this year. Check out the full list of tour dates Ski announced below.

Nicki Minaj was not happy with DJ Boof after he shared a picture of himself signing a woman’s chest on his Instagram Story over the weekend. “I’m really famous [cry laughing emoji] They asked me to sign their boobs,” Boof captioned the post. Minaj took to X (formerly Twitter) to scold him for doing so and threaten to fire him if he acts out again. “I promise I’ll fire him if I EVAHHHHH see this again. Df [Da f**k],” she wrote.
When one fan responded that he’s “over here trynna ride the sign my titties wave like,” Minaj joked, “Like??!! It’s clear to SEE boof wanna be ME.” Fans shared plenty of laughs while coming to his defense in the replies. “Let him have his moment,” one user wrote with a number of laughing emojis. Another added: “he can sign mine next concert i go to no shade.”

The humorous posts come after Minaj dealt with some serious legal trouble in Amsterdam over the weekend as well. While she was trying to travel to Manchester for a show on Saturday night, authorities detained her and accused her of carrying drugs. She recorded the ordeal on Instagram Live while claiming it was an ambush afterward. “They’ve been trying to stop me from coming to every show,” she wrote on X afterward. “They took my bags before I could see them. Put it on the plane. Now saying they’re waiting on customs. This is what it looks like when ppl are paid big money to try to sabotage a tour after all else failed. Everything they’ve done is illegal.”
Check out Minaj’s response to the move from DJ Boof above. Be on the lookout for further updates on Nicki Minaj as well as her Pink Friday 2 World Tour on HotNewHipHop.
Childish Gambino is one of the many major artists looking to make 2024 a special year for the hip-hop world. He has been absolutely killing it in the film industry, but now he is back in full swing music wise. The “3005” multi-talent came by earlier today with his polished version of 3.15.20, Atavista, which is supposedly his second to last album as Gambino. One more, Bando Stone & the New World, is rumored to be dropping later this summer, according to a post on X from the Californian. Now, Childish Gambino is going to be embarking on a world tour, possibly for both of these projects.
According to Pitchfork, this will be his first trek since 2019, so that is just one more reason why this is a big deal. Gambino first hinted at a world tour in late April via Instagram. However, there was no other information outside of a promo poster for what is being called The New World Tour. Childish Gambino is certainly going to be a busy man, as there are 58 shows!
He will be traveling to cities such as Los Angeles, Perth, Milan, Dublin, and Atlanta just to name a few. Joining him will be WILLOW and Amaarae for select dates. Will Smith’s daughter will take on the first half of the shows, and Amaarae will handle the back end. According to Gambino’s post, general pre-sale will kick off this Friday, May 17. Additionally, artist pre-sale begins Wednesday, May 15 [and Amex card members], with UK starting on Tuesday, and AUS beginning on Thursday.
What are your thoughts on Childish Gambino going on a world tour for Atavista? Do you think that he missed any locations that he should he add, why or why not? How have you been enjoying the new album? Do you think it is an improvement over 3.15.20, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Childish Gambino. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.
Fans of Childish Gambino have gotten some major good news recently. Most of it has come through his GIGLA radio series of which there’s been two episodes so far. In the newest episode he debuts a new song with Kanye West, or at least one made to sound like it’s with Kanye. Gambino has been using AI for various parts of the radio broadcasts and it has fans second guessing everything. Those listening couldn’t help but wonder if the verse West contributed was actually him or generated by a computer.
Now Childish Gambino seems to have begun teasing an upcoming world tour. Fittingly it’s called “The New World Tour” and the post includes a website of the same name where fans can sign-up for information on the tour. Gambino is fresh off an appearance during Tyler, The Creator’s Coachella headlining set that reminded everyone just how exciting of a live performer he is. There’s no information on what cities the tour may stop in or when it will get underway yet. But that hasn’t stopped fans from getting excited to potentially see him live. Check out the announcement he shared below.
During the first episode of his new radio show, Childish Gambino revealed he has two forthcoming albums. The first is called Atavista and will serve as an updated version of his 2020 release 3.15.20. He’s also reportedly dropping an album called Bando Stone & the New World after that. The project will also serve as the soundtrack for a show of the same name that he’s also involved with.
As exciting as it was for fans to hear the announcement, there was also bad news. He confirmed that the new albums would be his last two releases under the Childish Gambino moniker. Despite that, nothing is stopping him from releasing music under his own name going forward. What do you think of Childish Gambino announcing that he’s going on a world tour soon? Do you plan on seeing him at one of his upcoming tour stops? Let us know in the comment section below.
Drake is easily one of the biggest artists in the history of music. Overall, his records speak for themselves. Although some like to pontificate on whether or not he is the best hip-hop artist of all time, there is no doubt that his influence is felt. During his come-up, there were certain artists he was linked to thanks to label affiliation and overall chemistry. One such artist was none other than Nicki Minaj. He and Nicki have maintained their friendship over the years, and they still support each other’s endeavors.
In fact, Drake came through for Nicki in a big way the other day. While trying to get into Montreal, she was having trouble with the border. As she explains, Drake made a few boss calls and was able to get her in. Although she started her Montreal show extremely late, she was able to get in her set, and move on to Toronto where she performed last night. As it turns out, Drake pulled up to last night’s show, and could be seen in one of the loges up top. He seemed to be having a good time, and it was cool to see him supporting a friend.
After all, the Scotiabank Arena is a place that he is most definitely accustomed to. The Toronto arena is home to the Toronto Raptors and the Toronto Maple Leafs. Moreover, Drake has performed countless shows there at this point. One day, he will probably have some sort of jersey in the rafters over there. Either way, despite all of his recent feuds, he seems to be enjoying life, and living on with business as usual.
Let us know what you think of this showing of support from Drake towards Nicki Minaj, in the comments section down below. Do you think that they have another collaboration in the tuck? Have you been to Nicki’s tour? If so, what city? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s VULTURES is turning into a full-on phenomenon. The pair first dropped VULTURES 1 last month after repeated speculation and various previously announced release dates. The entire tracklist of the record hit the Hot 100 in the week following its release and a handful of tracks have stuck around. “CARNIVAL” in particular has already been West’s biggest hit in years and has hovered in the Top 5 for a full month since the album’s release.
The album has been played for fans at various listening parties in both the US and Europe. But West is unsurprisingly interested in taking the record on tour. He’s due to perform later this week at Rolling Loud in Los Angeles and wants to spin VULTURES into a full-on world tour. The only issue is that he will have to do it without one of the biggest names in concert promotion around. Live Nation. The company has reportedly made it clear they don’t want anything to do with West following his repeated antisemitic comments over the past two years. But West is still attempting to perform a story without them. Check out the newest update below.
According to Billboard, West is bringing back an old friend to try and swing a world tour. John Monopoly has been involved in the rapper since early in his career. He served as West’s manager in the 2000s. He’s returning to the role in an effort to book the rapper a world tour.
Over the weekend, West announced VULTURES 2. The project was originally due out earlier this month and though it didn’t drop at the time it appears to still be on the way soon. What do you think of Kanye West trying to plan a world tour without the support of Live Nation? Do you think he’ll be able to book enough shows and sell tickets without their support? Let us know in the comment section below.
