Akbar V is not one to shy away from entertaining more raunchier discussions across her social media platforms. Last month, the Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta star raunchily shot her shot at Drake in a hilarious remake of Alicia Key’s “You Don’t Know My Name” music video following his viral workout photos. She then aimed her fire at Chris Brown with a similar scandalous undertone. In her more recent social media antics, the rapper recalled on some intimate time she spent with rapper Young Thug, alledging the two used to be an item.
In a series of some-now deleted tweets, the reality TV star launched into a discussion about her and her alleged former rapper fling. She penned in one tweet, “YoungThug said he hit every girl in the roc technically he didn’t hit me i only gave him the best h*ead he could ever get from a fat bitch.” She added, “…boy oh boy i think that’s y i got so mad them years ago that d*ck was so long and yummy…before the fame.” She finished with a YSL “slatt” paired with a snake emoji.
In a second tweet, she claimed the rapper, “use to be like ima give you a baby when you lose weight lol i lost weight where the f*ck my baby at.”
She’s since deleted most of the more R-rated tweets, but fans managed to capture screenshots of the suggestive ones. In a repost of the tweets on Instagram, she jokingly commented, “I’m hacked y’all that’s John on my Twitter.” She did leave two tweets up, neither of them touching on the spicy topics the others did.
Young Thug has never spoken out about the alleged relationship between the two.
This has been an interesting season for the New York Knicks who are experiencing their first campaign under the expertise of head coach Tom Thibodeau. Thibodeau has a solid reputation around the league and so far, he has made the most of his new opportunity as the Knicks have been the biggest surprise in the league. After last night’s win, the Knicks are 17-17 and are tied for fourth place in the Eastern Conference standings.
There have been plenty of rumors concerning this team and some of the moves they may potentially make. According to the New York Daily News, the Knicks are actually interested in Karl-Anthony Towns, who played under Thibodeau during the head coach’s stint in Minnesota. As per the report, Thibodeau is fully on board with the potential move.
This past week, Towns was adamant that he actually wants to stay in Minnesota and he is committed to building something in the city. Unfortunately, the T-Wolves remain one of the worst teams in the Western Conference and if things don’t improve soon, there is a real chance that Towns could have a change of heart. If that happens, New York might be the best place for him.
With the deadline approaching, there are certainly a lot of moves left to be made, so keep it locked to HNHH as we will be sure to bring you all of the latest news and updates.

Sabrina Peterson blew the top off on T.I. and Tiny’s alleged history of sexual abuse against women after she came forward about a violent encounter she had with the Atlanta-bred rapper. Since then, multiple women have come forward with their own allegations of abuse against both T.I. and his wife Tiny, alleging they headed a sex trafficking service in which they would force women to take illicit substances before engaging in sexual acts with them and others. According to a report from The New York Times, a lawyer representing 11 of the women involved in the case has asked authorities to launch a full criminal investigation on the charges.

In a letter sent to prosecutors by lawyer Tyrone A. Blackburn, allegations against the couple include accounts of “sexual abuse, forced ingestion of illegal narcotics, kidnapping, terroristic threats and false imprisonment” by the couple and members of their crew, per The New York Times.
“On several occasions, T.I. forced her to take multiple ecstasy pills” and “the duo forced her to engage in sexual acts with different women against her will,” Mr. Blackburn wrote about a woman, who chose to remain anonymous, who was interviewed by the newspaper about her experience. “She has personally witnessed women complaining of being kidnapped and held against their will for days at a time.”
Blackburn told the Times he sent letters seeking criminal investigations to different attorney offices across America like U.S. Attorneys for the Northern District of Georgia and the Central District of California, the Los Angeles County District Attorney, as well as the state attorneys general of California and Georgia. He notes he’s received notices of their delivery, but no formal investigation has been launched yet.
T.I. and Tiny’s lawyer have vehemently denied all the claims thus far, and their reality TV show T.I. And Tiny: Friends And Family Hustle remains on hold until further notice. We’ll keep you updated as the case develops.

Dak Prescott suffered a horrific injury during the early stages of the 2020 season as he completely dislocated his ankle, leading to a gruesome scene. As a result of this injury, Prescott missed the entire 2020 season and now, it remains to be seen whether or not he will have a new contract with the Dallas Cowboys. Regardless, it seems like he has made some massive progress on his injury, and fans are excited to finally see him back on the field.
According to Sports Illustrated, a source close to the Cowboys says that Prescott should be at or near 100 percent by the time April rolls around, which means he will be able to participate in any offseason activities.
While this is definitely good news for Cowboys fans, they aren’t out of the woods just yet. Prescott wants to be paid like a top 3 quarterback in the entire NFL, and Jerry Jones has been reluctant to make this happen. If this is the case, he could get hit with yet another franchise tag, which would completely erupt his relationship with the team’s management. Even former players like Troy Aikman have sounded the alarm for this very reason.
For now, however, Prescott is getting better and it’s great to see such quick progress. Keep it locked to HNHH as we will continue to bring you updates from the NFL world.

It’s been more than a month since the last Verzuz battle, one that took place between Keyshia Cole and Ashanti. While the platform made its return on Saturday night, the rules were a little bit different this time around. Rather than a matchup between two artists, legendary R&B singer D’Angelo took the stage for what became more of a livestream concert. It wasn’t an entirely solo affair, however, as the singer promised the appearance of some “friends” which turned out to be HER, Method Man, and Redman. While the show was definitely an enjoyable one, it wasn’t the plan from the start.
Apparently it was originally suppose to be D’Angelo vs Maxwell

Once D’Angelo’s Verzuz concluded, Swizz Beatz and Timbaland hopped on Instagram Live to recap the event and it was here that Swizz revealed the battle was supposed to be D’Angelo against Maxwell and take place on Valentine’s Day. Unfortunately, the plans fell through.
“That didn’t work out…the fact that D’Angelo was still ready to go…and motivated, we had to celebrate him…no matter who was on stage with him,” Swizz said. “We had to celebrate that king because, as you can see, those songs that he played tonight, man, that’s real music and this is celebrational stage…and we couldn’t play around with him. We had to let him get his garden because he showed up and showed out.”
You can watch Swizz’s comments above.
Tank’s longevity in the r&b and the acting world has been something to behold, and over the years, he has continued to release new music that fits that grown person’s r&b aesthetic. When you’re older, you have a lot more wisdom to share when it comes to relationships, and that is exactly what he delivered his fans with his latest track called “Can’t Let It Show.”
This track is packed with emotion as it is a piano ballad that features Tank delivering some reflective lyrics about love, heartbreak, and what it means to be a good partner. Tank looks at things from the perspective of the woman he has disappointed, and how her tears are eating him up inside. It’s definitely a somber note but it makes for a great song that forces you to grapple with your own experiences.
Quotable Lyrics:
How did I lose you? (How did I lose you?)
How did I blow that? How can we go back?
Why did I not choose you? Ooh-ooh
Instead of a good time, I wasted your good time
The high-profile police shooting of Breonna Taylor last March was one of the main instances of police brutality that helped ignite the series of nationwide Black Lives Matter protests that took place in the earlier part of quarantine. Shot and killed while sleeping in the bed of her Louisville apartment, widespread criticism of the ethics involved in the case continues to ring high. That being considered, a Georgia high school teacher is fighting to keep her job after she suggested that Breonna caused her own death by hanging around the wrong people.

Susan McCoy, a forensic science teacher at Pebblebook High School in Cobb County, GA, told her students in a Zoom lecture, “I’m sorry she was killed, but you know, when you hang out with people with guns and shooting, you’re likely to get caught in the crossfire.”
McCoy at one point said, “What’s her name — Breonna something,” and brought up false allegations against Breonna’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, adding she was, “hanging out with the guy who was wanted on charges … and he fired at them, and they fired back.”

As many people familiar with the case know, Walker was not the person who was wanted on charges when cops broke into he and Breonna’s home. Walker says cops never identified themselves and he fired a shot in self-defense before police returned the fire, striking and killing Breonna.
McCoy has since issued an apology for the statements, saying, “I want to apologize sincerely publicly for things I said today in my class that had to do with something that I was very ignorant about. I’m just heartbroken that I said something so rude and disrespectful.”
She continued, “I should never have talked about something that I didn’t understand and I truly, truly apologize and ask for forgiveness and hope that someday I can have that trust back with my students that I know that I lost.”
School officials have yet to disclose if McCoy will face any disciplinary atcions for making the inconsiderate remarks to the high schoolers.

Murda Beatz has made a strong case as to why he’s still one of the best in the game right now. He’s established himself as a hit-making behemoth behind some of the biggest records from Drake, French Montana, Migos, and plenty of others. However, he’s also continued to keep his ear to the streets for what’s new. This week, he teamed up with Baltimore rapper Shordie Shordie for the release of their long-awaited collaborative project, Memory Lane.
The project has 12-songs in total but it’s “Moral Of The Story” that remains one of the hardest tracks on the project. Murda Beatz cooks up a R&B-infused beat that perfectly meshes with Shordie Shordie’s rap-song flow as he seemingly interpolates “Thinkin Bout You” by Frank Ocean on the hook.
Peep the song below.
Quotable Lyrics
Steady calling her baby, but she ain’t no baby,
Act like it, I’m getting you diapers
Get to acting and bragging but you won’t go nowhere,
You just wanna be on my line
Told her hold up, I’m losing my line
Throughout the early stages of his career, Ben Simmons has been roasted for his lack of shooting ability. As a point guard, it is expected that you are able to make shots from all ranges. However, Simmons has broken that mold as he is a player who mostly gets his points in and around the paint. Whenever he attempts a three-point shot, it becomes a big event and whenever he makes one, well, you can just imagine what the fan reactions are.
On Saturday night, Simmons and the 76ers lost to the Cleveland Cavaliers in overtime, although during the extra frame, Simmons was able to knock back a lengthy three-point shot that immediately stopped the Cavs in their tracks. In fact, this was only the fourth made three-pointer of Simmons’ career.
Over the last few years, Simmons has made a real effort to improve his deep-range shooting and get it to a point where he can confidently take these shots. Critics have noted that the Sixers would be real contenders if Simmons developed a jump shot, and little by little, it seems like he is doing just that.
You can check out what fans had to say about the shot, below.
