Other notable performers include (but are far from limited to) Avril Lavigne, Brittany Howard, Burna Boy, Camila Cabello, Cyndi Lauper, Disclosure, Idles, James Blake, Janelle Monáe, Jessie Ware, Kenya Grace, Little Simz, and The National.
The annual music festival is scheduled for June 26 to 30, 2024, at Worthy Farm in Pilton, Somerset, England.

Meghan Trainor has been enjoying a second wave lately. After starting her career with major hits “All About That Bass” and “Lips Are Movin,” Trainor has become a dominant presence on TikTok with songs like “Made You Look” and “Mother,” both from her 2022 album Takin’ It Back. (She also generated some attention in 2023 for talking about sex with “big boy” husband Daryl Sabara.)
Now, she’s looking to ride the wave even further: Today (March 14), Trainor announced Timeless, her sixth album. The project is set for release on June 14, but today, she shared “Been Like This,” a new collaboration with T-Pain. As would be expected from Trainor, the song brings vintage doo-wop sounds to present day in a poppy and fun way.
Meanwhile, Trainor gave birth to her second child last summer, she announced at the time with adorable photos. Also last year, Trainor spoke about the time she and Charlie Puth made out while working on their 2015 duet “Marvin Gaye.” Puth later confirmed the story, saying, “I had just moved to LA and yeah, I’m not denying that happened. That definitely did happen once in 2015. I also don’t think I’d ever had vodka before, Grey Goose vodka.”
Listen to “Been Like This” above.

2023 was a big year for female rap, and so far, we’ve been seeing that trend consistently carry into 2024. Nicki Minaj is proving that she’s still all that on her Pink Friday 2 Tour following her back and forth with Megan Thee Stallion. Elsewhere, Ice Spice and Latto have gone viral with their latest solo drops, each seemingly aiming at the other. As the frost melts and makes way for new life this spring, Rapsody is set to amaze us with her upcoming album. The project is reportedly called Please Don’t Cry, and it has a scheduled release date of May 17.
On Thursday (March 14) morning, @OnThinIce shared the upcoming LP’s tracklist on Twitter/X. Rapsody will start us off with a Phylicia Rashad (who returns for more contributions twice at the end of the album) collaboration on “She’s Expecting You” before showing out on “Marlann.” Afterward, we have the previously unleashed single, “Asteroids” featuring Hit-Boy and more joint efforts with Bee-B, DIXSON, Erykah Badu, and Alex Isley. Some solo efforts are peppered in between those, proving that Rapsody has no problem riding the beat on her own. Other guest appearances on the 22-song tracklist will come from Bibi Bourelly, Keznamdi, Niko Brim, Baby Tate, and Amber Navran.
Rapsody’s Highly-Anticipated Return Set for May 17th

Arguably the biggest name in rap to appear on Please Don’t Cry is Lil Wayne, who’s feeling “Raw” beside Rapsody. “He’s one of my biggest inspirations and one of my most favourite. I love me some Weezy,” the 41-year-old declared on social media earlier this month.
Elsewhere in the realm of hip-hop, Hit-Boy and The Alchemist cooked up a surprise EP for us earlier this year in the form of Theodore & Andre. The short but sweet project proves that both producers aren’t holding back in 2024, along with many of their other contemporaries. Read all about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
Earlier this morning, the first wave of artists performing at the massive Glastonbury Festival in the UK was revealed. As part of the 2024 lineup so far, Dua Lipa, Coldplay, SZA, Shania Twain, LCD Soundsystem, Idles, Disclosure, The National, Janelle Monáe, PJ Harvey, Cyndi Lauper, and many more will be performing.
The festival will be held from June 26 through June 30 this year.
Here’s what to know about how to get tickets.
How To Buy Tickets For Glastonbury Festival 2024
As of right now, tickets for Glastonbury Festival are sold out — and have been for a while. When the tickets went up for sale back in November, music lovers snapped them up within minutes.
“Our thanks to everyone who bought one and we’re sorry to those of you who missed out, on a morning when demand greatly exceeded supply,” the festival informed shortly after, according to The Standard.
However, there is still some hope. Some ticket buyers might not be able to afford it and cancel their tickets when they are set to be charged next month. If this happens, any returned tickets will go back up for sale. Only those who registered before the sale starts will be able to purchase, as Glastonbury is trying to prevent scammers.
Additional information about getting tickets for Glastonbury 2024 can be found on the festival’s website.

Kanye West and his Yeezy brand have been having a renaissance as of late. Overall, he is selling his products for just $20, and fans have been scooping up as much merch as possible. However, it has been a long rebuild for Ye, who was dropped by Adidas in the Fall of 2022. After all, he was begging to be let go by the brand. He was unhappy with the way he was being treated, and he was hopeful that his contract would be terminated. Meanwhile, he kept spewing anti-semitic talking points which made him a liability to Adidas’ image.
Unfortunately for Adidas, letting Ye walk has come with a plethora of negative affects on their business. For instance, the brand has been posting sales losses every single quarter of 2023. In fact, the brand was forced to sell off close to $1 billion of leftover Yeezy products, just to get by. According to CNN, their latest numbers are pretty devastating. In 2023, the brand finished the year with a $63 million annual net loss. This is their first net loss in decades, and the Yeezy partnership’s demise is a huge catalyst.

Adidas is also blaming a large tax bill and poor North American sales for their issues. The brand has struggled in America compared to the rest of the world, and with U.S. inflation on the rise, things have continued to worsen. However, it is expected that things will stabilize for Adidas, moving forward. Only time will tell if they can truly recover.
Let us know what you think about all of this, in the comments section down below. Do you think Adidas would ever take Kanye West back as a means to save face? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.
Even though he just welcomed another child into the world with Maranda Johnson, some fans think Kodak Black is moving on fast. Moreover, he recently posted his old flame and fellow rapper Mellow Rackz on his Instagram Story. “& she Zoe She Outta Broward [sunglasses emoji] [fingers crossed emoji],” the Florida MC captioned one of the posts, whereas another reportedly reads “You can’t tell me nothing… because I prayed for this love.” For those unaware, the two had a thing going in 2021, but ended up falling out over time, and this seems like quite the oddly timed moment to get back into it.
Regardless, Kodak Black’s recent release from prison has him celebrating a lot these days, so maybe he’s just trying to reconnect with people in his past and do better by them. What’s more is that he’s also making sure to show appreciation for those who helped him along the way. For example, the Pistolz & Pearlz spitter shouted out his lawyer on Instagram with a picture together, thanking him for getting him out of his legal troubles. Hopefully those slow down significantly for them in the near future, because it’s been a long road up to this point.
On the other hand, Mellow Rackz kept her career up and made significant strides to impact the game after moving on from Kodak Black. Still, it wasn’t all pretty, as the world of rap beef can be a pretty unforgiving one. She recently got into it with Starr Gyal, who claimed that Rackz was stealing and called her “the worst prostitute in history.” As such, the Young Money signee is under some significant fire, but we’ll see whether that’s an important factor for this particular gossip.
Also, this follows similar rumors about Mellow Rackz maybe being with Fivio Foreign following some flirty IG posts from almost two years ago. That feels like an eternity ago in Internet time, but just goes to show that these rumors can pop out of nowhere. Maybe Yak will come through with a more explicitly affirmative statement on their bond in the near future. With that in mind, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Kodak Black.
Draya Michele has said that some days she feels like she is “struggling to breathe” amid the wave of hate she has received over her relationship with Jalen Green. Previously, Michele had shared words from a self-proclaimed medicine woman in response to the hate. “Get comfortable being misunderstood. Only a fraction of people will be able to truly grasp your essence. You are not on anyone else’s timeline of comprehension. Also, it’s none of your business how others choose to perceive you. Most High sees you clearly – let that be enough,” read a tweet.
However, Michele also had a more direct response to London Brown, who had called her “passed around goods” in a scathing response to the relationship. “I have never met this man a day in my life. Idk why he feels the need to speak about me in a situation where he uses the term “us”. Brother. KING. I don’t know you. Didn’t even know your name was London until today right now this second as I was asked about this. I’ve avoided the net all together and most b-tch a– tendencies I’ve endured for the past few days. I won’t be lied on tho. Stay blessed. #idontknowthisman #whoisus #itwouldaneverbeenvou,” Michele wrote.
However, not everyone has it out for Michele. Patrick Beverley has defended Michele and Green after Nick Young shared a salacious story about the reality star on Gilbert Arenas’ podcast. “Sidenote Yal foul. Not cool, not at all. @GilsArenaShow Yal old asl talking about another man Lady. Not cool gang. @PatBevPod,” Beverley wrote on X, formerly Twitter. However many people in Beverley’s comments tried to defend Young and Arenas, saying the two men were just trying to “warn” Green about Michele.
Meanwhile, Joe Budden recently called Michele a “predator” amid the rumors that the 39-year-old year might be expecting a child with the 21-year-old Green. “We’ve seen so many NBA stars lose their career, and everything, because of women like this,” Budden said. He also went after co-host MeLyssa Ford, who didn’t appear to have an issue with the relationship. “We don’t have twenty minutes to explain something to you that is right there in front of you,” Budden said dismissively. Despite this, several fans pointed out that Budden was also a predator after impregnating at a woman in her mid-20s when he was 39.
N3on has accused Jack Doherty of signing minors to OnlyFans contracts that greatly benefit him. “You get 17-year-old girls, the night before their birthday, to sign away 50% of their lifetime earnings to you,” N3on claimed. However, the controversial streamer did not provide evidence of Doherty doing this. Furthermore, questions remain as to why N3on chose not to speak out on this alleged practice before he was actively beefing with Doherty. Doherty is yet to respond to the allegation.
Of course, while similar allegations about N3on do not exist, he is not exactly squeaky clean. Hyperpop Daily, an underground music reporter, blasted N3on during an interview on No Jumper last year. At one point in the interview, Hyperpop called N3on a “b-tch”. He also claimed that the incident in which N3on was reportedly jumped was fake. Furthermore, Hyperpop claimed that N3on had a “racist aura”. He also noted that he marketed his content to a fanbase of “little racist white kids”.
However, N3on’s allegations are not the only trouble Doherty is facing. Doherty and his bodyguard Kane Kongg are being sued by a man that Kongg was filmed punching at David Dobrik’s Halloween party last year. Chase Gardella is pursuing legal action against the two men in the wake of the video of the alleged assault going viral. Gardella’s suit states that he did not consent to be assaulted. This is Doherty attempting to set up a fight between himself and Gardella. Doherty has previously posted videos of himself fighting the likes of The Island Boys.
“This was a disgusting, unprovoked assault on a young man by a professional boxer at the direction of his social media influencer employer. Chase was minding his own business, enjoying a fun Halloween Party with friends when he was brutally attacked by a man several times larger than him. This sort of behavior by Jack Doherty and his cronies needs to end. Chase suffered serious injuries that could de-rail his life and career,” Gardella’s attorney told TMZ.
Bianca Censori and Kanye West have been married for over a year at this point. Overall, these two turned a lot of heads when they first got together. A lot of people were skeptical of their marriage. However, they have proven that they are very much in love with one another. Wherever Kanye goes, Bianca can be seen with him. In fact, she was even with Kim Kardashian a few nights ago for yet another Vultures listening party. At this point, the two are inseparable, and it has been cute to see.
One thing that Kanye loves to do with Bianca is coordinate some photoshoots with her. According to TMZ, Kanye posted some photoshoot images to social media recently. Although they appear to be deleted, the photos made their way to TMZ. In these images, the model can be seen wearing tight-fitting clothes that show off her curves. For instance, she dons a pink top as well as some white lacy leggings. In fact, it appears to be the same outfit she wore to the recent Vultures listening party.

Bianca and Kanye continue to be a power couple, and that doesn’t seem to be changing anytime soon. Ye has two new albums on the horizon, and fans cannot wait to hear them. Hopefully, they arrive sooner rather than later.

Act II: Cowboy Carter, the title of the new album by Beyonce was recently revealed on the superstar’s website. The new era to follow Renaissance is almost fully upon us, as the project is expected to be released on March 29, 2024. Beyonce nearly broke the internet when she announced the album’s first two singles in her iconic Verizon ad. Since then, “Texas Hold ‘Em” has reached number one on the Hot 100 chart and became a viral hit on social media.
Fans are beyond ready for this country album, and the reception of the lead singles proves it. Beyonce has already given us a taste of what to expect from Cowboy Carter with “Texas Hold ‘Em” and “16 Carriages.” However, there are a few other things we hope to accompany the highly anticipated album. While we may not be able to enforce these terms on Queen Bey, we can certainly dream.
During a recent interview with Knox News, country icon Dolly Parton was asked if Beyonce had recorded any covers of her music before. “Well, I think she has,” Parton answered, to the delight of fans everywhere. “I think she’s recorded ‘Jolene’ and I think it’s probably gonna be on her country album, which I’m very excited about that,” she concluded. Admittedly, Ms. Parton only subtly revealed that Beyoncé’s cover could appear on the album. However, there’s a chance the track, if it exists, could feature Dolly Parton herself, which would be phenomenal. If there are guest appearances on Cowboy Carter, Beyonce, we want Dolly Parton to be one. Just imagine how iconic it would be!
Over the years, the Beyhive has witnessed Blue Ivy’s growth, and they are almost as proud of her as her actual parents. Once dubbed the most famous baby in the world, she is now a 12-year-old Grammy Award winner. Additionally, her appearance on Jay-Z’s “Glory” when she was just two days old earned her a Guinness World Record. Blue Ivy appeared on “Brown Skin Girl” with her mother in 2019. Also, the Beyhive saw a lot of her in 2023 throughout the Renaissance World Tour. However, we would love to see her make an appearance on another Beyonce track, preferably on Cowboy Carter. Evidently, she has been honing her craft behind the scenes. It would be lovely to hear how her voice has matured since “Brown Skin Girl.”
Beyonce has never been one to shy away from experimentation, and we expect nothing less from Cowboy Carter. Throughout her career, she has consistently pushed musical boundaries, and it’s always paid off. Cowboy Carter is an album that will be heavily influenced by country music. However, knowing Beyoncé, she will bring her twist to it, and that’s exactly what we want. While paying homage to the roots of the genre, we believe Queen Bey will also be able to push the envelope yet again on this album.
Music Videos (please?)
Throughout the Renaissance era, Beyoncé did not release any music videos. That was a huge contrast to her last album, Lemonade, which had a video for each song. For Renaissance, the closest fans got to visuals was the documentary film. However, for Cowboy Carter, we want music videos. Pretty please. As a matter of fact, we won’t be greedy and ask for a music video for each song. Just please, give us visuals this time, Bey.
Another World Tour
Undeniably, the Renaissance World Tour in 2023 remains one of the most iconic things to happen in recent music history. Some have even called the experience life-changing, and that’s no surprise at all. Beyoncé went all out with it like we know she would again if she organizes a tour for Cowboy Carter. If anybody can surpass the excellence and spectacle that was the RWT, it is certainly Beyoncé herself. While she would have her work cut out for her, Queen Bey has never been one to disappoint. We do hope she expands to more locations this time though. Hive members in many more countries around the world would love an opportunity to see her live as well.
