Nicki Minaj Announces Dates For “Pink Friday 2” World Tour

Over the weekend, Nicki Minaj released her highly-anticipated new album Pink Friday 2. The project generated tons of attention for its samples, features, and alleged attempts at starting or continuing beef. The project is expected to amass some impressive sales numbers and could have the top spot on the Billboard 200 while some of its songs challenge various Christmas tracks for debuts on the Hot 100. But Nicki isn’t even close to done with the era, taking to social media earlier today to announce that she’s taking the album on tour.

Earlier this year, Nicki floated around the idea of a tour in support of her new album. But as she’s known to announce things and never follow through, many fans were left skeptical. But they aren’t anymore as she shared the official announcement of the Pink Friday 2 world tour. She shared 37 dates taking place from March until June of 2024 across North America and the UK. While that’s a pretty big undertaking she may have even more in store. The flyer also includes a teaser that more dates will be announced in the future. Check out the full announcement below.

Beyonce’s “Renaissance” Film On Pace To Top Box Office Charts

Beyonce’s new concert film, Renaissance: A Film By Beyonce, is currently on pace to top the weekly box office charts with between a $22 and $24 million opening in its domestic debut. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the figure marks the biggest opening for early December in two decades. Before being adjusted for inflation, the largest opening for the first weekend of December remains Tom Cruise’s The Last Samurai with $24.3 million.

After releasing in the United States on Friday, the film is beginning to roll out worldwide. It’s projected to bring in $40 million globally. Renaissance first premiered in Los Angeles, earlier this week, with a star-studded event that featured Taylor Swift, Michelle Williams, Blake Lively, will.i.am, and many more celebrities in attendance.

Beyonce initially announced that fans can expect the film to arrive after she wrapped up the tour back in October. A summary of the movie says it “accentuates the journey of Renaissance World Tour, from its inception to the opening in Stockholm, Sweden, to the finale in Kansas City, Missouri. It is about Beyoncé’s intention, hard work, involvement in every aspect of the production, her creative mind and purpose to create her legacy, and master her craft. Received with extraordinary acclaim, Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour created a sanctuary for freedom, and shared joy, for more than 2.7 million fans.”

Beyonce’s “Renaissance” Film Is Here

Renaissance: A Film By Beyonce isn’t the only major concert film of the year. Taylor Swift released Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour back in October, hauling in $250 million in the time since. That figure makes for the most successful concert film of all time. Be on the lookout for further updates on Beyonce on HotNewHipHop and check out Renaissance: A Film By Beyonce in theaters now.

Rihanna’s 2024 World Tour Deal Was Never Agreed Upon According To Source

Just a couple of days ago, music fans were going to be getting something so exciting. We are talking about a Rihanna world tour. The Mirror ran a report saying that the R&B superstar shook hands on a massive deal with Live Nation. According to them, the deal was $20 million plus and it was going to be in 2024-2025. Additionally, she is also sitting on two albums.

Apparently, though, we had the wool pulled over our eyes. According to a recent article from Billboard, a high source says it is totally “bogus.” The $39 million contract never went through, meaning no tour dates were ever in place either. “No tour has been confirmed for Rihanna,” says the source.

It Is A Sad Day To Be A Rihanna Fan

Of course, there are reasons as to why this could never happen. Rihanna recently gave birth to her and A$AP Rocky’s second child, Riot Rose. On top of that, we all know how involved she is with clothing, makeup, and every other avenue. It is extremely disheartening news as music and RiRi fans will have to continue to be patient. At least she put on a terrific show at the Super Bowl last year.

What are your initial thoughts on this source saying that Rihanna’s world tour is “bogus?” If this remains true, should Rihanna fans be upset? Do you think she will ever go on tour, or drop another album ever again? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

Beyonce Unveils Epic “Renaissance World Tour” Movie Trailer: Watch

There is some major breaking news coming from Beyonce and her team. The Houston, Texas singing icon is just a few months away from giving fans the Renaissance World Tour experience in movie theaters. We got word about a possible release date of December 1 on September 30, but now, that day is now official. Fader reports that pre-sales at chains including AMC, Regal, and Cinemark are open now. Originally, it was reported that only AMC would be playing the movie but the two other massive theater chains join in as well.

Beyonce titled the film Renaissance: A Film by Beyonce. What will be interesting to see is how it competes with the opposing empire, Taylor Swift. Her motion picture, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, will hit theaters very soon on October 13. Both artists are brands now, essentially, and each one has die-hard supporters. We have seen plenty of box office smashes when it comes to tour flicks and these should be as well.

Beyonce Is Preparing Fans For A Spectacle

That sounds exciting and we cannot wait to see it so soon.

Doja Cat’s Victoria’s Secret World Tour Performance Includes “Ouchies” Live Debut

Famous lingerie brand Victoria’s Secret was nearly cancelled due to fatphobic comments made by those at the head of the company several years ago. They’ve since gone through some major changes just in time to reintroduce their annual fashion show to the world before 2023 ends. The event itself actually took place on September 6, as PopSugar notes. Models like Naomi Campbell, Gigi Hadid, Hailey Bieber, and Julia Fox were all tapped to strut down the runway. VS also recruited an impressive roster of performers, such as Doechii and Doja Cat.

From what we saw of the latter walking the red carpet, she looked as confident as ever. However, she later revealed on Instagram that the dress she wore was incredibly uncomfortable, and even left her feeling “manhandled.” Thankfully, when it was time for Doja to take the stage and showcase some songs from her Scarlet LP, she changed into different looks that allowed her to move with ease.

Doja Cat Performs “Ouchies” for the First Time

“Ouchies” was one of the titles the blonde beauty picked to debut live at the World Tour. “I don’t need another hit ’cause it’s useless, really / I ain’t lookin’ good? You hallucinatin’,” the songs braggadocious bars go. “Crusty, musty, dusty b**ches / Don’t you ever, ever in your life / Come for me,” Doja declares at the end of the track, seemingly as a message to her haters.

Elsewhere, the “Say So” singer brought her previously released “Attention” single to life. For that, she switched up her outfit in favour of a bold, red look with smokey, black eyeshadow. “Talk your s**t about me, I can easily disprove it, it’s stupid / You follow me, but you don’t really care about the music,” Doja raps on that song.

Scarlet definitely brings a different vibe to the table from the fashionista. So far, the world seems to be receiving her 17-track album very well.

Let us know in the comments, and check out the full-length runway presentation on Amazon Prime Video the next time you’re in the mood to be seriously entertained.

A New Lil Nas X Documentary Will Follows The Star On His First World Tour

Lil Nas X has been somewhat quiet recently. His debut studio album MONTERO became a critical darling in 2021 and spawned three massive hits with “Industry Baby,” “Montero,” and “That’s What I Want.” In 2022 he teamed up with the game League Of Legends to release a new single in collaboration with the game’s world championships. “STAR WALKIN’” wasn’t an instant success but became a sleeper hit that stuck around on the charts until early 2023. Much of the reason for his quiet social media presence and lack of new music has been that Lil Nas has been touring extensively. Now, a new documentary will take fans behind the scenes of that tour.

Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero was announced by the rapper earlier today. The film is directed by Carlos Lopez Estrada and Zac Manuel and will make its debut soon. The documentary will make its debut at the Toronto International Film Festival which starts on September 7. A press release says that the film will follow “an artist on tour navigating identity, family, expectations and acceptance, all while reflecting on his place within the legacy of Black, queer performers.”

“Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero” Is Coming Soon

Lil Nas X has had an eventful year on tour. During a performance at Lollapalooza Stockholm, there was a bit of a viral moment. Lil Nas hilariously stopped the show when a fan threw something pretty nsfw onto the stage during his set. A month before that happened, tech issues slowed down his performance at Governors Ball. The rapper admitted that he didn’t want to perform following the ongoing issues, but he did anyway.

Lil Nas X currently owns the record for the longest-running number-one hit of all time on the Hot 100 for his song “Old Town Road.” Recently, Morgan Wallen’s mega-hit “Last Night” has rocketed all the way up to second on the all-time list. If it lasts a few more weeks at the top spot the song could potentially challenge Lil Nas’ record. What do you think of the newly announced documentary following Lil Nas X on tour? Let us know in the comment section below.

Doja Cat Is Headlining The Victoria’s Secret World Tour Show With New Music

Ahead of a new album drop and a tour later this year, Doja Cat is adding another big event to her 2023 resumé. Moreover, as reported by Harper’s Bazaar, the Los Angeles artist will headline The Victoria’s Secret World Tour show, premiering via Prime Video on September 26. Not only is this a big moment for her, but also for the brand; the half-fashion show and half-documentary spectacle is its first foray into TV production since its last on-air runway show in 2018. In addition, the World Tour will feature VS20, a crew of 20 artists from all over the globe that worked on ensembles for the revitalization. In fact, the 27-year-old herself contributed to design choices for her performance looks alongside the VS team and her creative director, Brett Alan Nelson.

Furthermore, one of these looks was previewed in Harper’s Bazaar‘s exclusive coverage of the announcement. One of them is a nude-hued ensemble with latex and a lot of creative and futuristic embellishments. Overall, this is a pretty exciting and impressive career step-up for Doja Cat in the realms of fashion and high-profile performance. Also, the “Woman” artist spoke to the publication about what this partnership means to her- and what fans can expect.

“Victoria’s Secret has always been such a fun, go-to brand for me since early on, and I love that I can still say that today,” Doja Cat stated. “Being a part of a global phenomenon like the Tour has been an incredible experience. Because the Tour is a celebration of the strength and unique talent of creatives, we really wanted to channel this message through this look. I felt so powerful and confident wearing these pieces, which is so important to me.

“My idea of what makes me beautiful, sexy, and confident has evolved so much over the years,” she continued. “But I’ve always known that what matters most is how I feel about myself. To me, sexy is being comfortable in my own skin and celebrating myself for who I am. Being a part of the Tour really helped connect me with that.” Also, Doja gave some hints about her next musical direction. “I don’t want to spoil too much, but like past projects, there’s lots of different energy to songs, plus new sounds that I’ve never explored before. So that is exciting to me, and I can’t wait to put it out.” With that in mind, keep checking in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Doja Cat.

The meet-up with Beyonce comes after Madonna was recently hospitalized with a bacterial infection. Her longtime manager Guy Oseary confirmed reports of her health troubles at the time. “On Saturday June 24, Madonna developed a serious bacterial infection which [led] to a several day stay in the ICU. Her health is improving, however she is still under medical care. A full recovery is expected,” Oseary wrote on his Instagram account. “At this time, we will need to pause all commitments, which includes the tour.” The following month, she broke her silence on the situation with a post on social media thanking her fans for their “positive energy, Prayers and words of healing and encouragement.”

The move comes despite her postponement of the initial North American leg that she had scheduled for the summer. Madonna be visiting cities across North America and Europe for a total of 84 shows. The legendary pop star announced the tour with a video featuring Lil Wayne, Eric Andre, and more, earlier this year.

Brent Faiyaz Announces New World Tour

Outside of popping out to the occasional fashion show, Brent Faiyaz has kept a pretty low profile. Since dropping his 2022 album Wasteland, we haven’t heard much from the toxic R&B star. Last summer Brent Faiyaz had the game eating out the palm of his hand. From songs with Drake and Tyler The Creator to acting appearances on shows like Rap Shit, this guy is everywhere. It’s no secret that Brent has hit pay dirt with his sound that makes one reminisce of 90s R&B and sounds from that golden era. However, many were wondering when we would see the singer on the road.

Earlier today, Brent Faiyaz announced on his Instagram that he would be heading back on the road with a world tour called F*ck The World It’s A WASTELAND Tour. During this tour, he will be doing songs from his 2019 EP F*ck The World (great tape) and his new album this summer. Brent’s kicking off the summer with a bang. Since the news has come out, many fans have been spazzin’ in the comments trying to figure out all the details. Haven’t seen this many people scramble for a tour since Drake and Beyoncé dropped their tour dates (this is special). While nobody knows what to expect from this tour, one guarantee is there will be good music to listen to for these shows.

Brent Faiyaz Is Hittin’ The Road

Furthermore, fans haven’t been able to experience a full tour from Faiyaz. Since dropping F*ck The World, it was extremely hard for artists to do shows, thus causing many album tours to fall to the wayside. Many artists such as Don Toliver have fallen victim to this. Where they dropped more than one project during the heat of the pandemic and couldn’t tour due to restrictions. Thankfully, our favorite artists are able to tour again with loads more music tucked away in the stash.

Brent Faiyaz is no exception to this. As the summer creeps around the corner, more tours are being announced leaving fans to feverishly pick what shows they’re going to attend. Are you stoked for Brent Faiyaz’s new tour? Are you going? Let us know who’s tour you’re checking for this summer in comments below!

Lil Uzi Vert Teases “The Pink Tape” World Tour

Lil Uzi Vert is apparently going on a world tour in support of their upcoming album The Pink Tape soon, or at least that’s what recently surfaced pictures on social media indicate. Moreover, this comes after they reportedly announced a North American tour back in October of last year, although such plans fell through. Still, the “Myron” hitmaker captivated audiences all over through festival slots, public event performances, and more within the last two years. With their infectious stage presence in mind, a world tour would surely bring Uzi a lot of acclaim and commercial success. However, only time will tell, as these teases haven’t come attached with dates yet.

Furthermore, the whole reason behind this new speculation regards pictures posted online of Lil Uzi Vert wearing tour merch. To elaborate, Twitter recently went ablaze over Uzi rocking a “Pink Tape World Tour” shirt design, hinting at what was to come. Hopefully, this refers to a significant expansion of their planned North American trek. Given the superstar’s visibility and popularity at the moment, it would surprise no one if they’re able to sell thousands of tickets overseas. What’s more is that The Pink Tape, according to DJ Drama, is coming very soon.

Is Lil Uzi Vert Going On A World Tour Soon?

“It’s on the way,” Drama told Justin Credible on his podcast. “The Pink Tape– him and Cannon have been super hard at work. They’re in the process of pretty much finalizing the final sequencing and tracklisting of the project but it’s pretty much done. You’ll be surprised. You’re gonna get some of [Just Wanna Rock] as well as some other pockets.” Moreover, said news is also exciting because this would be Lil Uzi vert’s first headlining tour since they and G-Eazy embarked on “The Endless Summer” tour back in 2018.

Meanwhile, producer Don Cannon recently highlighted the Philly icon’s prolific and hard-working mentality in the studio. “We working on the album and he got 680 songs [from the last] 18 months,” he expressed. “I call him the Kobe Bryant when he was saying he used to shoot jump shots after the game. That’s what he doing. He give you a hit and do five songs a day. Nobody believe me. I bring them to the studio to see.” Let us know what you’re most excited about concerning The Pink Tape‘s rollout in the comments. Also, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates surrounding Lil Uzi Vert.
