(AllHipHop News) Travis Scott jokingly promoted his girlfriend Kylie Jenner’s new makeup line on social media.

The 25-year-old rapper shared a preview of Kylie Cosmetics’ forthcoming eyeshadow trio products on Snapchat, debuting the 16 matte and glittery shades.

“New part-time job,” Travis jokingly captioned the clip that showed Kylie, 20, with the eyeshadow swatches on her arm.

However, he disguised the colors of the new line with a black and white filter.

Kylie shared a very similar post on Snapchat later called “Summer,” which was presumably filmed by Travis.

The reality star recently debuted next season’s makeup collection, featuring eye palettes, lipsticks, and lip glosses, that have been inspired by her newborn daughter Stormi Webster.

Called the Weather Collection, the collection boasts lightning bolts as an ode to the daughter she gave birth to.

“I worked on this pretty much my entire pregnancy. And right after we chose Stormi’s name, her name really inspired me,” Kylie explained to fans on social media.

The 20-year-old welcomed her first child on February 1.

Three days later, on Super Bowl Sunday, Kylie announced her baby’s arrival on Instagram and with a video, titled “To Our Daughter,” shared on YouTube.

Her post announcing her daughter’s arrival is the most liked in Instagram’s history.

The new parents have been dating since April 2017, and they recently made their first public appearance together since Stormi’s arrival, enjoying a lunch date with friends in Malibu last month.

The date also gave Kylie chance to debut her push present from beau Travis – a $1.4 million black Ferrari LaFerrari.

(AllHipHop News) Common took shots at President Donald Trump and the National Rifle Association (NRA) during a performance of Oscar-nominated song Stand Up for Something on Sunday night at the 90th Academy Awards.

The rapper, who alongside singer Andra Day appears on the original song from the movie Marshall, called out President Trump’s “hate” and the powerful gun lobby in a song from the 2017 biopic which urges people to take a stand.

Common, real name Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr., dressed entirely in black, prefaced the song with an incendiary spoken word performance before giving way to the vocals of the Rise Up songstress.

“These days we dance between love and hate,” he said. “A president that chose with hate, he don’t control our fate. Because God is great, when they go low we stay in the heights. I stand for peace, love and women’s rights.

“On Oscar night, this is the dream. We tell a land where dreamers live and freedom dwells, immigrants, get the benefits. We put up monuments for the feminists, tell the NRA they in God’s way, and to the people of Parkland we say Ase (a West African philosophy that means to make things happen and produce change)” – including a shoutout to the victim and survivors of the mass school shooting Parkland, Florida, where 17 people were shot and killed last month. The Selma star also offered up “sentiments of love” for the people from “Africa, Haiti to Puerto Rico.”

Common and Andra were also joined onstage by 10 men and women, including Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors; #MeToo movement founder Tarana Burke; eight-year-old Syrian refugee Bana Alabed; 87-year-old Delores Huerta, co-founder of the United Farm Workers of America; and Nicole Hockley, mother of Dylan Hockley, who was killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook elementary school shooting.

The NRA was quick to clap back with a response to the performance, sending a video to Common and the Academy about the NRA’s commitment to honoring US veterans, a jab at his vocal support of former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, the first NFL player to kneel during the National Anthem to protest police brutality against African-Americans.

(AllHipHop News) Some social media users were convinced Taraji P. Henson took a veiled shot at Ryan Seacrest on the Oscars red carpet last night. While speaking on the success of her friend and Oscar nominee Mary J. Blige, Henson told Seacrest, “You know, the universe has a way of taking care of the good people.”

The Internet quickly decoded the statement to really be a shady rebuke of Seacrest over the sexual misconduct allegations against the Live with Kelly and Ryan co-host. However, Henson claimed she was actually showing support for the E! correspondent.

“I did it to keep his chin up. It’s an awkward position to be in. He’s been cleared but anyone can say anything,” Henson expressed to People.

(AllHipHop News) Emcee-turned-podcaster Joe Budden has been vocal about being a supporter of Tory Lanez’s music. The two artists even teamed up for the single “Flex” in 2016.

Recently, Lanez dropped by The Breakfast Club to promote his new album Memories Don’t Die. While sitting with the Power 105.1 radio crew, Tory was asked about comments supposedly made on The Joe Budden Podcast.

“They were asking if it’s quiet for Tory Lanez,” stated Charlamagne Tha God, referring to Budden and co-hosts Mal and Rory.

“Quiet with me for what?” responded the Canadian performer. “Which rapper that’s out right now that y’all feel like I need to go head-to-head with on a cypher? What singer is out right now that I need to write better records than? Like, who is it? Point me in the direction and let’s just do it. And I’m gonna show why I out work that n-gga and why I’m better than that n-gga.”

Lanez added, “Is it quiet for what? Are y’all crazy? What artist you know can do I what I f-cking do? I’m tired of n-ggas undermining that. I f-cking sing to girls and make their p-ssy wet, and then I go stand on a whole f-cking crowd.”

On a 2017 episode of his show, Joe Budden also talked about Tory Lanez possibly dating his ex-girlfriend Kaylin Garcia. The New Jersey native said, “I would tell Tory Lanez to tell Kaylin to mind her f-cking business and stop commenting under these stupid memes.”

Over the past few months, we (me, Ernestine Johnson and Jay Morrison) have had some tough, yet productive discussions with Houston’s.

I am proud of the progress and look forward to continuing the dialogue and working together in the same communities that have helped make their business so successful.

(AllHipHop News) Jay-Z’s famous club, became the scene of a heist early Sunday morning after the big Deontay Wilder fight in the mogul’s Brooklyn hometown.

Boxer Jermall Charlo, 27, was robbed of at least $145,000 in cash and jewelry at the Manhattan 40/40 club, which is owned by Jay-Z. The boxer was robbed in the midst of some sort of physical situation that created a chaotic climate in the club.

The pugilist’s assistant gave a woman a bag with $40,000 in cash and $115,000 in jewelry to another woman. That second woman swiftly departed the venue with four of her buddies.

The whole getaway was caught on security cams.

The alleged culprit is a white woman with blonde hair, about 5’ 10” and 165 pounds.

Jermall Charlo was slated to fight in Brooklyn Saturday night, but did not because his opponent suffered an injury.

Jay-Z was not at the club at the time of the alleged robbery.
