She’s currently sharing the No. 1 spot on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart with Doja Cat after the “Say So” singer added the rapper to her remix—a monumental moment for both artists. The pair managed to inch by Megan Thee Stallion‘s “Savage” remix featuring Beyoncé, but it doesn’t matter much to fans of all four women since the charting positions are history in the making. It’s the first time four black women have taken the top two spots on the Billboard Hot 100, and for Nicki and Doja, it’s the first time they’ve ever appeared in that position ever in their careers.

Barbz are always excited about Nicki Minaj making waves…or pretty much doing absolutely anything…but lately, they’ve been awaiting more news about the “Yikes” rapper’s forthcoming project. Nicki hasn’t spoken much about her next album, but we do know that she’s been working hard to deliver a project that will sweep a worldwide audience.

Over on Instagram on Monday (May 11) evening, DJ Clue got on Live to play a few tracks, and one was an unreleased song from A$AP Ferg and Nicki Minaj. The two collaborated on Ferg’s “Plain Jane (Remix)” back in 2017, but this unheard song was allegedly scrapped for an unknown reason. Unsurprisingly, fans of both artists went wild upon hearing the single. Check out a snippet of the song below.

Following a lengthy and successful musical career that elevated him into a genuine fan favorite, it’s fair to say that A$AP Ferg is doing quite well for himself. Today, Ferg teamed up with Architectural Digest as the latest host of the ongoing “Home Tour” series, a premise that delivers exactly what it promises. Taking a moment to film a brief tour of his New Jersey home, the Hood Pope breaks down some of his finest art pieces, tells a few stories, and more — all while giving us a first-hand look at the lavish life of luxury so often enjoyed by hip-hop’s elite.

Though he has only been situated at the house for about a year, Ferg has already made it decidedly his own. “It’s different from being an inner-city kid,” he admits. “It’s quiet, all the noise is cut off. When I’m traveling the world and meeting all these people, shaking hands, I’m on stage all the time, it’s always cool to come back to a house that’s real chill, tranquil. This is my safe haven right here.”

He also showcases a few of his favorite art pieces, a collection that includes several custom paintings, authentic African masks, a machete from Liberia, and much more. His dining room is equally impressive, with his table custom made by an artist he discovered on Instagram. The entire house is nothing short of stunning, and it’s no wonder Ferg is so eager to throw the fireplace on, lounge on his couch, and simply catch a vibe. Check out the entire tour below.

Kanye West‘s Yeezy brand has been leading the charge in terms of streetwear over the last few years. Kanye’s Yeezy sneakers are incredibly popular and continue to sell out on every drop. With this in mind, it shouldn’t be surprising that the artist and designer is always looking for some new silhouettes. Perhaps the most bizarre silhouette to be revealed is the Yeezy Foam Runner which is made of Algae and contains numerous holes throughout the upper. It’s a minimalist aesthetic that certainly won’t appeal to everybody but at $75 USD, you never know how many people may want to cop.

While the white colorway of the Foam Runner is supposed to release soon, an all-red version has been revealed thanks to none other than A$AP Ferg. As you can see from the images below, the sneaker is covered in red which gives it that “Red October” aesthetic. There is no release date for these although if you’re a Yeezy fan, these sneakers will definitely hold a special place in your heart.

Stay tuned for updates on these as we will be sure to bring them to you. Also, let us know in the comments below if you plan on copping.

Capping off an exciting start to the year, Lil Wayne conducted a closed-casket Funeral with the release of his first non-Carter album in five years. There were too many solid offerings on the body of work for us to choose just a handful of additions to this week's HNHH staff-curated TIDAL-exclusive playlist so, as a thank-you to the New Orleans legend, we've included a bunch of his new tracks.

Kicking off this week's edition of TIDAL Wave, we've got two early favorites from Funeral on tap with "Mahogany" and "I Do It" with Big Sean and Lil Baby. As we inch into the first extended break without any Tunechi efforts, we head into single releases from A$AP Ferg, Tory Lanez, A Boogie wit da Hoodie, and more. In this portion, we also show love to Australian newcomer The Kid LAROI for his collaborative track with Lil Tecca. Then, we have a couple of other Weezy songs before breaking into some R&B flavor, influenced by Trevor Daniel and Summer Walker, Justin Bieber, Lucky Daye, and others. An underground/old school vibe follows with cuts from Curren$y and DJ Fresh, Gang Starr, Boldy James, and more before reaching one of the final Wayne stretches. 

The TIDAL Wave playlist is curated each week by our editorial and sales staff, who each contribute their favorite five songs of the last trio (or so..) of weeks. If you're not a member of TIDAL yet, sign up for your 30-day free trial here. Let us know who had the best picks of the week in the comments.

Floor seats indeed. A$AP Ferg has been balling on the low, alternating between rubbing shoulders with Jay-Z and sitting courtside at Nets games. Clearly, the man frequently finds himself in high profile circles, a testament to his magnetic presence. During yesterday’s match between the Brooklyn Nets and the Los Angeles Lakers, Ferg found himself seated between former President Bill Clinton and TV icon Michael Strahan, a meeting commemorated by an epic picture.

“Surrounded by presidents and Giants ‘Floor seats for the Nets'” writes Ferg, sharing the pic on his IG page. Naturally, many emcees and collaborators came through to applauded Ferg’s latest flex. YBN Cordae declared it to be a “major bar,” while Conway slid through with a congratulatory “my boy.” Dreamville’s Bas even deemed the image to be “legendary,” a compliment echoed by many of Ferg’s own followers. 

Check it out for yourself below. Big respect to Ferg, one of the rap game’s most slept on key players, and special shout out to the little homie coming through with that clutch photobomb.

For those who have already caught the critically acclaimed Uncut Gems, you’re well aware that The Weeknd (playing himself) is plays a role in the film. Today, NME sat down with the directors behind the A24 flick, Josh and Benny Safdie, who revealed that Abel wasn’t always part of the plans. In fact, there were a few other contenders in the mix, namely A$AP Ferg, who would have played a character named Privilege in Weeknd’s stead.

“Before we became friends with Weeknd, he saw a movie we made called Heaven Knows What,” explains Josh Safdie. “Then we became friends after he saw Good Time. He really liked that film a lot, and we became friends — which was awesome. Before we met him, we did a table read with A$AP Ferg. It was a character named Privilege. Before it was Ferg it was going to be an unknown, a local aspiring rapper. Actually, we talked about Troy Ave for a little bit. When we ended up landing on the proper time period with Kevin Garnett, it was with The Weeknd, right when he was breaking through with the Trilogy.”

He also reveals that some of Weeknd’s upcoming music feels like a “cousin” to the film, though he stops short of saying it’s directly inspired. For more about the Safide’s creative process, be sure to check out the full interview NME. For those who have seen the film, could you imagine A$AP Ferg or Troy Ave fitting into the world?
