About Us

Honk! was a print publication in the 1980s that showcased alternative and underground culture through interviews with creators, satirical articles, and comic strips.

In October 2019, Honk Magazine, formally known as Honk! Magazine was relaunched as an online platform under the ownership of a young entrepreneur, Samuel Odu, catering to a global audience with a collection of content in celebrity photos, entertainment, lifestyle, music, news, and fashion. Our primary objective is to become the Leading African-American Entertainment Media Brand, providing a powerful platform for music and sponsorships.

The publication aims to set the standard for credible, undiluted, and diverse content in the digital age by adopting the formats of renowned publications such as EARMILK, Thisis50, TheSource, Vibe Magazine, Spin Magazine, HotNewHipHop, and others. Our social responsibility is committed to upholding the highest standards of respect, diversity, and gender equality. We recognize its impact and aim to safeguard the health and dignity of our team, customers, interviewees, and the wider public. We celebrate the ever-changing entertainment industry and its goal of amplifying the voices, stories, and experiences that shape our world. Honk Magazine is about cultivating a culture of entertainment while maintaining high social responsibility.

Our Mission

At Honk Magazine, we believe entertainment reflects and influences how we live, work, and connect. Our primary objective is to become the leading African-American entertainment media brand, delivering credible, diverse, and undiluted content day in and day out.

We cover:

• Artist spotlights, premieres, and exclusive interviews spanning hip-hop, pop, R&B, electronic, and beyond

• Fashion trends, lifestyle stories, and cultural commentary

• Socially responsible, inclusive storytelling rooted in respect for diversity, gender-equality, and the dignity of all voices.

What Makes Us Different

• Legacy with reinvention: Building on a print magazine’s alternative roots, we’ve embraced the digital era and have served creators globally since our 2019 relaunch.

• Wide‐ranging yet focused: We aim to elevate voices, tell behind-the-scenes stories, and shape a culture rather than reflect it.
