DC Young Fly is best known as a recurring cast member of the popular improv comedy series Wild ‘N Out. As a fan-favorite cast member, the certified funny man is widely understood as an unproblematic goof in contemporary discussions. An attempt to harm the comedian would simply leave many questioning who could have any smoke with him. 

Thus, an alleged incident that occurred on Memorial Day Weekend that left a person completely unconscious while he was performing at an Oakland comedy club shocked many people familiar with the comedy genius. After the alleged altercation took place, he took some time to clarify what really went down from his point of view.

Edited for clarity, the proud Atlanta native penned in the caption of a photo set sharing footage of the incident, “Im from the WestSide of Atlanta im really from the streets I [been] stabbed I am traumatized but GOD turned my life around but I always stay on point just in case I have to protect myself!!!!!”

He continued, “Pleasanton/Oakland I love [y’all] forever and we always have a good time but I’m mad [y’all] l had to see [that] side of me but if u dont f*ck wit me please dont come to my shows if [your] intentions aint to kome and have a good time dont show up cause I pray that the energy is rite everywhere I go.”

“And I’m protected and covered by GOD plus i got hands #IWillMakeItHome,” he added humorously. He finished, “Sorry [y’all] had to see me knock a nigga out but guess [what] #IGotOnWithTheShow #GODSentMeOnaMission #IMustFinishMyTask.” 

The footage shows Young Fly pacing angrily around on the stage presumably directly after the altercation occurred. He appears still visibly annoyed at the incident. From the audience’s reactions, it seems he was able to subdue the assailant after landing just one punch. He then carried on with the show. 

Watch the footage for yourself and let us know what you think of his impression one hitta. 

Damian Lillard and his Portland Trail Blazers teammates came through with a big win on Saturday as they tied up their series against the Denver Nuggets at two games apiece. The Blazers and the Nuggets look fairly even so far and if Lillard can put together some of his signature performances, then the Blazers could be well on their way to an upset that would shake up the Western Conference playoff picture.

After last night’s game, Lillard was wearing a unique button-up shirt that seemed to have some interesting textures to it. Not everyone was a fan of the attire, which led to someone on Twitter commenting “why you wearing car carpet as a designer?” Lillard is known for being active on Twitter, which allowed him to see the disparaging remark. This led to a pretty hilarious clap back as Lillard said “Cuz it’s a Lamborghini carpet.”

NBA players have been showcasing some interesting outfits over the past few years and Lillard has certainly been one of the players who aren’t shy to showcase his varied taste. After all, fashion is an expression of your individualism and it is always cool to see guys taking risks with their wardrobes.

As for the Blazers’ next game, they will be taking on the Nuggets on Tuesday, in Denver for Game 5.

Kanye West’s efforts with the Adidas Yeezy brand have been greatly appreciated. While many of his designs remain controversial and polarizing, there is no denying the fact that he has helped set trends all while bringing about some change to the sneaker industry. One of his latest efforts is the Adidas Yeezy Boost 380 which is set to receive a ton of new colorways. Among those offerings is the “Alien Blue” makeup which is set to drop tomorrow.

Thanks to Adidas, we now have the official images for the shoe, which can be seen below. This model is completely made of Primeknit and on the upper, we have some beige knit all while olive is placed on the sides. From there, multiple shades of blue are found on the midsole which is what ultimately leads to the “Alien Blue” nomenclature. It’s yet another unique colorway for the Yeezy Boost 360 and we’re sure it will be worn a lot throughout the summer months.

Pairs will be made available as of tomorrow, May 31st, via the Confirmed App for $230 USD. Let us know what you think of this brand new model, in the comments below. Also, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from the sneaker world.

The death of DMX last month was a shock to the music industry that created a ripple effect of pain and heartbreak throughout the hip-hop world. That pain was expected to be alleviated with the arrival of his new posthumous album EXODUS, a project he was working on months before his untimely passing, but now it looks like not everyone was tuning in for the new music as expected.

EXODUS came with a lot to offer, featuring a hefty amount of features and production handled almost entirely by X’s former partner in the booth, Swizz Beatz. However, even with names like Jay-Z, Nas, Alicia Keys, Lil Wayne, Snoop Dogg, Usher and even U2 frontman Bono attached to the project, reliable music chart source Hits Daily Double reports that EXODUS is only projected to move around 28-32k copies in its first week with about 12-14k of those being pure sales.

To put that number into better perspective, the album is expected to bow out in fourth place amongst the top-selling albums this week. EXODUS follows behind the Anniversary Edition of Goodbye & Good Riddance by fellow late emcee Juice WRLD (28-32k; 1-2k), pop queen Taylor Swift’s December 2020 album evermore (110-130k; 100-120k) and current pop princess-on-the-rise Olivia Rodrigo, who’s on top for a second week with SOUR (150-170k; 15-20k).

An explanation for the low number can be for a handful of reasons. On one hand, the album’s release date (May 28) comes only 49 days after DMX was officially pronounced dead on April 9. For some fans that feels a bit too soon, but given the fact that he was working on this project before his death doesn’t make it entirely feel like it was rushed to coincide with his passing. Still, it does make you wonder if things might have turned out differently on the sales side if they waited at least until the official start to summer 2021 to give people more time to mourn.

Did you listen to DMX’s posthumously-released new album, EXODUS? Hear it now on all streaming platforms or anywhere you purchase music, and let us know your thoughts down below in the comments. 

Take a look at his new music video for “Hood Blues” featuring the guys of Griselda below as well: 

An unfortunate reality, the United States has been experiencing an uptick in large-scale violence ever since COVID-19 restrictions started being rolled back. We are sad to report that armed assailants opened fire on a crowd outside of a concert in Florida early Sunday (May 30), killing two individuals and leaving more than 20 people injured. 

According to reports from local officers and media, three people hopped out of a white SUV and fired assault-style weapons and handguns at concertgoers congregated at the El Mula Banquet Hall near Hialeah, a city in Miami-Dade county. CNN reports 20 to 25 victims who suffered from wounds were taken to local hospitals. CBS4 adds that at least one person was in critical condition, and police add that no one was in custody as of early Sunday. 

“I am at the scene of another targeted and cowardly act of gun violence, where over 20 victims were shot and 2 have sadly died,” Miami-Dade Director of Police Alfredo Ramirez penned on Twitter. “These are cold blooded murderers that shot indiscriminately into a crowd and we will seek justice.”

“We believe this is a targeted act of gun violence,” Ramirez said. “This is a despicable act of gun violence, a cowardly act.” He added, “This type of gun violence has to stop. Every weekend it is the same thing. This is targeted, this is definitely not random.”

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis added his own sentiments, confirming state authorities were working hard to catch the perpetrators of the senseless act. “Justice needs to be swift & severe!” he wrote on Twitter.

This is the second mass shooting in the Miami area over the Memorial Day weekend. Late Friday into Saturday, six people were wounded and one was killed in a drive-by shooting in the Wynwood area of Miami. Police do not yet have a description of the culprits.

We’ll keep you updated with developments. In the meantime, our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the victims.
