New Hip Hop News

Megan. Thee. Stallion. Over the years, the Houston Hottie has leveled up to become one of the strongest forces in the music industry, getting close with Beyoncé and Jay-Z and delivering some outstanding musical releases. With “Savage”, the superstar rapper reaped the benefits of her incredible rise by bringing home three Grammy Awards, including for Best New Artist. She’s been celebrating with her boyfriend, rapper Pardison Fontaine, but she continues to keep her fans updated with photo and video content on social media.

The tour de force isn’t only a threat when it comes to her music. Megan can shut down the internet in a matter of minutes when she posts a new picture, repeating the cycle with each new thirst trap. She’s developed a method that keeps on paying off, posting some of her hottest pictures, dropping jaws, and doing it all over again. She came through once again this week, sharing some eye-catching pics on Instagram.

In between posts of her stunning Grammy Awards gown, Stalli got into Young Tina Snow form by draping herself in a diamond-dripping ensemble, complete with a bedazzled cowboy hat and a crystal thong. The pictures are available to buy as posters on Megan’s shop. “Honestly just waiting for HotGirl summer to start,” wrote the rapper as her caption. 

In a second post, she showed off some of her favorite assets, highlighting her bust and behind without even showing her face. The post was meant to showcase her new nails, but we all know nobody was paying attention to her manicure. “Uon even gotta see yo face to know u fine,” wrote Yung Baby Tate in the comments. 

Check out some of Megan’s latest pictures and let us know which one is your favorite.

Deshaun Watson was accused of sexual assault earlier this week as a lawyer Tony Buzbee took to Instagram with a declaration that he would be representing a woman who claims that Watson assaulted her. The accusation seemingly came out of nowhere although shortly after, a second woman came forward. Now, according to TMZ, a third woman has filed a lawsuit against the Houston Texans star.

In the report, the woman claims that Watson hired her for a massage. From there, the two met at an office in Houston, where the woman alleged that Watson was asking to have his glutes massaged. That’s when the football player reportedly “got more aggressive” and allegedly forced her to perform oral sex. The woman says she blacked out as a result of the ordeal and eventually, Watson got up and left.

Following the first lawsuit, Watson took to Twitter, where he claimed that he has never engaged in such activity.

The common thread of all of these lawsuits is that each woman claims that Watson sought their services over social media, and proceeded to act inappropriately upon their meeting. As it stands, Watson has not been charged with any crimes, although Buzbee is adamant that there are more women who will come forward.

This is a developing story so stay tuned for updates as we will be sure to keep you informed.

Tiffany Haddish appears to be doing some damage control following her comments about Nicki Minaj, which were leaked from a private conversation on Clubhouse. In the leaked audio, Tiffany was praised as the “Nicki Minaj of comedy” by a co-moderator, which prompted the actor to fire off some interesting words about the Queen rapper. “And unlike Nicki, I treat everyone with respect and dignity,” she said.

People have been unpacking the comments all week and, though the Barbs are working overtime on defending their idol, other celebrities, including Loni Love, are seemingly co-signing the statement that Tiffany Haddish made. “She is correct. Nicki can be a little, you know, not punctual,” said Loni during a recent appearance on late-night, clarifying that the rapper was an hour late to their interview and demanded the crew stock her green room with fried chicken, which went uneaten. 

As some fans have noticed, Tiffany Haddish appears to be trying to explain her comments with a series of interesting “likes” on Twitter. The comedian “liked” a couple of tweets about the situation, which help to clarify her initial remarks. 

“Why the hell is there a @TiffanyHaddish & @NICKIMINAJ comparison to begin with?” said one of the tweets, which Tiffany co-signed. “Nicki is only disrespectful when she is disrespected. Everything she has said has come to light being right,” wrote the second comment that Haddish agreed with.

So far, the backlash hasn’t been as strong as originally anticipated. Perhaps the Barbs are a little peeved about Tiffany’s comments but this doesn’t seem to be anything that will damage her career in the long run. She might want to think about staying off Clubhouse though, because this isn’t the first time some of her comments have brought her negative press.

Despite the ongoing drama regarding his tumultuous relationship with Ella Bands, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie is embodying the energy from his Artist 2.0 standout cut with Roddy Ricch, Gunna, and London on da Track by running up his numbers. According to the Recording Industry Association of America, the New York artist has a new platinum certification to be proud of.

On March 16, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie’s second studio album Hoodie SZN was certified by the RIAA as a two-times platinum-selling album, making A Boogie’s sophomore record his first full-length project to achieve such a feat. Prior to Hoodie SZN‘s new accomplishment, A Boogie’s past projects had not surpassed the platinum threshold, with both his mixtape Artist and his debut album The Bigger Artist both sitting at platinum status years after their release.

To celebrate his new plaque, A Boogie took to Instagram to show love to his fans and once again tease his upcoming project, A-Boogie Vs. Artist.

“Hoodie Szn is 2x Platinum now,” the rapper says at the start of his caption before throwing two silver CD emojis in for good measure. “My fans are the best thanks guyzaaas I really owe ya this next one…A-BOOGIE VS ARTIST COMING RIGHT UP STAY READY.”

As fans patiently await the release of A-Boogie Vs. Artist, this post definitely serves as a promising update for the forthcoming project. Congratulations to A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie for the success of Hoodie SZN.

Winning a Grammy is one of the most sought-after accomplishments in the music industry. With the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards wrapping up this past Sunday, several Hip-Hop artists left the awards show with new Grammys to their names, despite the genre’s perceived lack of trust or respect for the Recording Academy. Megan Thee Stallion won the award for Best New Artist as well as most of the Rap category awards, Kanye West got his first win since 2013 thanks to Jesus Is King, and Beyoncé became the most decorated Grammy-winning singer of all time. Yet, Blue Ivy Carter was perhaps the most surprising Grammy winner of the night.

By winning a Grammy for “Brown Skin Girl,” Blue Ivy became the second-youngest Grammy winner in music history, and many people have deemed her early win to be a sign of the success that she is sure to achieve throughout the rest of her life. To prove that she is an icon in the making, Blue cemented herself amongst the ranks of Jay-Z and Drake by turning her Grammy award into a drinking cup. 

While her father and the Certified Love Boy artist notably took shots of liquor from their Grammys, Blue opted for a more classy, child-friendly aesthetic, complete with a blue and white striped straw. In a quick post-and-delete, Beyoncé shared flicks of Blue Ivy posing with her new trophy, and as The Shade Room points out, the shot of Blue sipping from her Grammy perfectly aligns from one of Jay-Z’s past Grammy acceptance speeches in which he said, “Daddy got a gold sippy cup for you.”

In an amazing turn of events, Blue Ivy was able to earn that gold sippy cup all on her own.
