A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

The Grammy-nominated artist took a few moments to show her appreciation to her black female fanbase for believing in her. “I just wanted to thank black women, specifically. But, before anyone who had bought my albums or thought I was cute and I had anything on Billboard, black women came to my shows.” She continues, “They stood up for me from the jump, they connected with me and I’m so, so grateful to be black and amongst family.” Interestingly, some fans loved her speech while others thought it was a bit strange. One person goes, “If a white woman said this all hell would break loose 💀” Regardless of all the debate, it is great to see SZA continue to flourish and our continued support goes out to her!

What are your initial thoughts on SZA’s speech at the Femme It Forward Award Show? Do you think anything was wrong with what she said? Is she the best female artist in the world right now?

Rick Ross Visits Georgia State University To Speak With Law Students

Rick Ross recently stopped by Georgia State University to speak with law students who are taking a 13-week course on the rapper. The curriculum covers various legal contracts that helped shape Rick Ross’s career and provides students the opportunity to learn about drafting, interpreting, and negotiating deals associated with the music industry.

“As a lover of rap music, Hip-Hop culture, and in celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Hip-Hop, I could not think of a better time to study the career of a visionary like Rick Ross,” Professor Mo Ivory stated in a press release. Ivory further added: “When I began my research on Ross, I realized early on that my students would learn about a businessman who turned his love of music into an empire that includes massive real estate holdings, food and beverage franchises, investments in the car and bike industry, literary works and corporate equity ownership.”

R. Kelly Sues Prison Workers And Tasha K For Alleged Info Leaking Scheme

R. Kelly is heading back to court, though this time its civil court rather than criminal. That’s because according to TMZ he just filed a new lawsuit at what he alleges is a scheme used to leak his private information. Named in the suit is the U.S. Government, a handful of employees at a Chicago prison, and blogger Tasha K. The suit accuses the employees of taking documentation on what Kelly was doing through internal computers and communicating it to Tasha, who then published it on her blog.

R. Kelly has been making these claims since long before the lawsuit. But now he’s officially taken legal action at the entire scope of the scheme. Consequently, he’s calling out some of the videos Tasha posted for deliberately harming his reputation and causing him emotional distress. She’s already answered for the allegations before they were elevated to a legal level. Tasha denies any wrongdoing or being part of any scheme. Check out her addressing the allegations below.

R. Kelly Accuses Tasha K Of Scheming To Violate His Privacy

For Tasha K, being sued by a major artist is nothing new. Cardi B famously took the blogger to court for defamation and won. Since the verdict Tasha and her lawyers have been hunting for any way to avoid paying Cardi the full payout she’s owed. But the rapper’s lawyers have been quick to fight back and seem ready to drag out the legal drama for as long as it takes.

R. Kelly news has been pretty slow in recent months. The most recent legal development for the singer came back in August. Additionally he’s being ordered to pay $10.5 million to a group of victims after making threats to stop their screening of Surviving R. Kelly. What do you think of R. Kelly’s newest lawsuit accusing multiple parties conspiring to violate his privacy? Let us know in the comment section below.

Kanye West’s Shares A Look At His Serene Studio Layout In Saudi Arabia

One of the unsung heroes so to speak when it comes to making a great album is the environment you are in. The recording setup can make or break the vibe the artist is trying to go for on a track or project. A great deal of artists like to travel to multiple locations to record songs so that they can be in the right mindset when laying down their vocals and production. One of those artists who may take this more seriously than anyone, maybe in music history, is Kanye West.

It might be a key indicator of why his albums take so long to finally release. Ye’s rollouts are always chaotic. But, who are we to doubt the creative genius? The man has given us so many classic albums. He is one of those musicians who is willing to try anything to bring out the best in himself. Whether you love him or hate him, you cannot deny the dedication that Kanye puts into each and every project he releases.

Kanye West’s Studio Setup Looks So Peaceful

Right now, he is working on multiple tapes. We were going to get a listening party for he and Ty Dolla $ign’s collaboration tape in Italy. But, to not many’s surprise, it fell through. However, it does sound like things are trending towards good things after the singer said the joint tape was coming soon and that he was recording for it in Saudi Arabia. Both of Kanye’s projects, solo, and collab, are building up to something special, especially after some recent photos. The atmosphere that the Chicago legend has surrounded himself in looks so tranquil. Multiple tent-like huts are put up in a gorgeous desert in Saudi Arabia with rocky mountains all around the recording setup. This has the making of being some of Kanye’s most calming and thought-provoking work he has ever created.

What are your initial thoughts on Kanye West’s studio setup in Saudi Arabia? What kind of music are we going to be getting on this upcoming project? When do you think we will get his solo record, as well as his collaborative joint with Ty Dolla $ign? We would like to know what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest breaking news around Kanye West, as well as everything else going on around the music world.
