Tyler The Creator Teases New Music (And A New Album?) In The Ominous ‘St. Chroma’ Video

October 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s been three years since Tyler The Creator‘s most recent album, Call Me If You Get Lost. But, he appears to be teasing a new project.

In the video for a new song “St. Chroma,” a man wearing a mask walks through desert followed by others directly behind him. There’s whispered rapping over a marching beat and a choir, and a container with the word “Chromakopia” on it. The footage ends with the container bursting into flames following an explosion. Could Chromakopia be the title of his next album? We’ll have to wait and see, although the timing is, let’s say, interesting with Tyler’s Camp Flog Gnaw (the best festival in America) coming up next month.

Tyler The Creator recently had Steve Lacy’s back when he was being harassed by fans for new music. “album this album that what happen to hello? the “Bad Habit” singer wrote on Instagram. Tyler commented, “i feel you. sh*t is annoying especially when i never said out my mouth an album was coming. i wanna be an actress lmfao.” He’ll have to settle for starring in an A24 movie alongside Timothée Chalamet and Gwyneth Paltrow.

You can watch the “St. Chroma” video above.

Ice Spice Shocks Fans With Dramatic New Hair Color

October 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yesterday, Ice Spice popped out for the Victoria’s Secret fashion show, and shocked fans with a dramatic new look. The “Bikini Bottom” rapper stunned in a sparkly sheer dress and a pair of pink platforms. She ditched her signature orange hairstyle for curly dark hair, which is closer to her natural color. She shared a series of photos from the evening on Instagram recently, sparking mixed reactions from fans.

While some fans are here for NYC rapper’s new look, others miss her old style and are demanding that she bring it back. Either way, it looks like Ice Spice was feeling herself. It’s unclear at the time of writing whether or not the dark hair was just for the night, or if she plans to stick with it for a while.

This isn’t the first time fans have seen Ice Spice with dark hair, as she also rocked a short dark hairdo for her Betty Boop Halloween costume last year. She might have sparked some controversy for flashing her hometown crowd onstage, but for the most part, supporters loved the creative costume. She complemented her jet-black hair with a tiny red dress and black heels.

Ice Spice’s hairstyle isn’t the only thing about her sparking debates these days either. She’s also been at the center of rampant rumors that she’s using Ozempic. She denied the accusations in August, but they’ve persisted. According to her, she lost weight only with diet and exercise. “It’s called eating healthy. It’s called being on tour. Like what the hell. Maybe if I was sitting at home all day it’d be easier to stay big,” she told fans on Twitter Spaces at the time. What do you think of Ice Spice popping out with dark hair?

Drake’s New Hairstyle Is Not Going Over Well On Social Media

October 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake is facing tons of backlash on social media for a mirror selfie showing off his new hairstyle on social media. It features two braided pigtails with light blue bows, reminiscent of an iconic look from Snoop Dogg in the 2000s, as pointed out by HipHopDX. He finished the outfit by matching a denim shirt with blue jeans and an oversized leather jacket.

“His obsession with wanting to be a teen girl is so weird,” one user wrote. Another replied: “Just when I thought my day couldn’t get any worse.” Other users referenced Kendrick Lamar’s feud with the Toronto rapper. One fan posted: “When I see him stand by Sexxy Red I believe he sees two bad bitches,” while another wrote: “Kendrick hurt this guy so bad he’s transitioning.”

Fans aren’t the only ones who have been theorizing that Drake is hurting. After he gave a speech about dealing with fake friends and betrayal during an appearance at a club in Toronto earlier this month, Charlamagne Tha God remarked on The Breakfast Club that Lamar has him in shambles. “I thought that Kendrick’s execution of this battle was flawless, the strategy, the songs, everything, but I didn’t think that it had that much of an impact on Drake. Drake hurts. Oh my God. He is hurt,” Charlamagne said. He also brought up Drake allegedly going on an unfollowing spree on social media, adding: “You can’t go on an unfollow spree then go on a stage and cry about not having no real friends or whatever that was about.”

Jay-Z’s NFL Partnership Will Continue Despite Super Bowl 2025 Backlash

October 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Despite all of the controversy currently surrounding Jay-Z and the Super Bowl, the Roc Nation owner will continue to produce the Halftime Show, according to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell. Bloomberg reports that Goodell discussed the partnership during the NFL annual owners meeting, which was hosted in Atlanta earlier this week.

Reportedly, he described his relationship with Jay-Z, Roc Nation, and its Chief Executive Officer Desiree Perez as “mutually positive.” He added that everyone involved is content. “I’m not sure either one of us really spend much time talking about contracts,” Goodell also explained. “Jay is happy. Desiree Perez is happy. I’m happy, so we’re all good.”

The terms of the new contract are unknown at the time of writing. Their previous five-year deal that was signed in 2019, however, was reportedly worth $25 million. It’s resulted in a dramatic increase in viewership, with historic performances from Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, and Mary J. Blige in 2022 and Rihanna the following year. Rihanna’s Super Bowl Halftime Show was one of the most-watched in history, with a staggering 118.7 million viewers.

Next year, Kendrick Lamar is scheduled to take the stage, which sparked serious backlash after it was announced last month. Many argue that the opportunity should have gone to Lil Wayne, as the show will take place in his hometown. Lil Wayne even issued a response to the apparent snub, revealing that it “hurt a lot.” What do you think of Jay-Z and the NFL extending their partnership despite the ongoing debate about the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show? Are you surprised or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

10 Rappers Who Made Their Mark In The Culinary Industry By Launching Restaurants

October 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Especially in the era of fast-food chains collaborating with musicians and celebrities owning franchises, rappers dipping their toes into the culinary industry is not unheard of. In fact, there are quite a few artists named after foods themselves — take Salt-N-Peppa, cupcakKe or Ice-T, for example. Everyone more or less has a relationship with cooking, whether through Sunday family dinners or struggle meals during hard times.

Reebok has officially signed top basketball prospect Nate Ament, projected to be a top 3 pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, to a multi-year partnership. Ament joins a growing roster of talent at Reebok, including Angel Reese and Lexie Brown, under Shaquille O’Neal, President of Basketball.

“I’m so excited to welcome Nate into the Reebok family,” said O’Neal, who has been with the brand since 1992. “He’s a great kid who comes from an amazing family and he’s got superstar potential on the court. We know he’s going to do big things and we’ll be right there with him.”

As part of the deal, Ament will represent Reebok in brand activations and help promote the company’s performance and lifestyle products. This includes the upcoming launch of the “Engine A” basketball shoe.

“Reebok has everything I need as a young basketball player to take my game to the next level,” Ament shared. “Shaq and A.I. – all my dreams have been lived out by these legends, so to have them as a resource is exciting. I’m just amped to see what we can do together with all the possibilities ahead.”

Ament, a 6’9” small forward from Manassas, Virginia, is ranked #4 in the ESPN 100 and was named the 2024 Elite MVP. Known for his versatility and all-around game, Ament is widely regarded as one of the best high school prospects in the country and is set to stand out in the 2026 NBA Draft.

Ice Spice Debuted A Switch To Her Signature Look With Some Racy Photos At The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

October 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

For the past couple of years, Ice Spice’s signature look has been so well-recognized that even random women with curly orange hair were catching cries of “Ice Spice” on the street from moving vehicles. However, it looks like the redheads of the world will soon be safe once again, as the Bronx rapper has apparently switched up her swag, as debuted at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show last night, and shared in a new set of “girls’ night out” photos she posted to Instagram. Ice’s hair is still curly like Betty Boop’s but now, it’s brunette, allowing her to be a bit more low-key — at least, from the neck down. Her outfit in the new flicks is pretty NSFW, so you can check it out here as long as it manages to avoid the Instagram censors.

A new look might do Ice Spice some good; since her breakout with “Munch,” she’s had her share of hits, but her buzz seemingly fizzled ahead of the release of her debut album Y2K earlier this year. Singles like “Oh Sh…” with Travis Scott, and “Popa” failed to reach the heights of “Barbie World,” and Y2K sold less in its first week than Ice’s previous EP, Like…?. She’s said she’s already ready to start working on a new album, though, and maybe her fresh look can help give her a fresh start for the next phase of her career.

Nicki Minaj Shares Shady Response To Historic BET Hip-Hop Awards Win

October 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Recently, Nicki Minaj made history by winning Album Of The Year at the 2024 BET Hip-Hop Awards for Pink Friday 2. She was the first female solo artist in history to do so, and she was up against the likes of Drake, Megan Thee Stallion, 21 Savage, and GloRilla. The awards show aired yesterday (October 15), and while one might expect an enthusiastic reaction out of Nicki, she was not impressed.

In response to a Twitter/X post about the win, she shared a meme that shows Chucky from the Child’s Play franchise biting on a woman’s arm. Nicki’s reaction doesn’t necessarily come as a shock, as she has a rocky history with the BET Hip-Hop Awards. The tension started back in 2019 when BET shared a shady Tweet.

The Tweet in question followed Cardi B’s 2019 Grammy win. “Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj is being dragged by her lacefront,” it read. In response, Nicki announced that neither she nor the rest of Young Money would be performing at the BET Experience music festival. “Young Money will no longer be apart of the BET Experience or award show,” she tweeted at the time. “Summer Tour dates dropping soon.” She went on to drag the BET Awards months later, claiming it would “rather be a messy reality show than a prestigious award show.”

Nicki’s unenthusiastic response to her BET Hip-Hop Awards win comes shortly after she teased a potential hiatus on Stationhead. “I am doing a hiatus,” she told her supporters earlier this month. “But I have the Vogue thing, which I’m very proud and honored to do, and a couple things and then I’ll be taking a little moment to reflect.” What do you think of Nicki Minaj winning Album Of The Year at the 2024 BET Hip-Hop Awards?

Rick Ross’s New Girlfriend Brushes Off Doubters With Heated Instagram Rant

October 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rick Ross’ new girlfriend, Justice Williams, went off on critics of their relationship on social media, earlier this week. She received negative comments on Instagram after showing off a diamond necklace Ross bought her, as well as other posts about their recent dates, as caught by AllHipHop. In response, she hopped on Instagram Live to label the haters “miserable” and tell them to mind their own business.

“Let me explain something to y’all,” she said while filming herself lounging by his pool. “There’s nothing wrong with being something of your own, but also coming into a different territory of a completely different bracket.” She added: “I would be crazy to judge a person based on who a person was to someone else. That’s not me. I’m not judging no one based on their past relations ‘cuz I know everybody is not replaceable,’ she continued, “It takes the right person. A person can change someone, okay. Let’s be very clear. If he wants to, he will, if he doesn’t, he won’t. ‘Cuz me … I’m protected. I can’t protect what’s going to happen, though. It’s what God says.”

From there, she suggested the relationship is here to stay. “Like y’all said, if I’m here for 30, 60, 90 days, then so be it,” Williams said. “But when I’m here past 30, 60, 90 days, I want everybody to go buy me some type of electronic. Y’all owe me.” She concluded by telling her haters to “mind your business, enjoy life.”

Justice Williams Responds To Critics
