Month: December 2021

Rappers were already careful with how they moved and traveled, but Young Dolph’s murder has them taking an ever closer look at their surroundings. As artists express their condolences, Troy Ave recently visited The Breakfast Club and spoke about how the attempts made on his life caused him to shift how he operated in public. 

“When people tried to take my life or whatever, I don’t know man, that sh*t is the street sh*t,” he said. DJ Envy added that Troy Ave still goes out and about, but he questioned if circumstances such as his and Dolph’s have caused him to move differently. “I move more dangerously and I move more militant,” answered Troy.

“You not seeing me with a bunch of—I’m not gon’ be with ten, eight n*ggas,” he added. “I’mma have my security. He’s gon’ be licensed with a firearm, you know what I’m saying? I move more dangerous than anything and on top of that, I carry myself differently. I carry myself like, I try not to let me ego get involved anymore.”

Troy Ave said he feels as if he’s maturing because he refrains from reacting or moving irresponsibly. He also advised people to see the value in themselves, especially those in the “urban community” because often, unnecessary risks are taken. “If it’s water filled with sharks, you might could get in that water and not get bit, but it’s a likely chance that you might get bit. So why would you jump in that water?”

Some may get in, said Troy, if there was a “big bag of money” in the water, however, his take was if he’s in a yacht in the middle of the ocean, why would he risk it all for a bag of money surrounded by sharks. 

Check out his full answer below.

Last night’s Verzuz was filled with takeaways. Aside from the ruckus incited by Bizzy Bone, the show also featured several guest appearances to help fill the stage. Terrence Howard helped close out the show by performing “It’s Hard out Here for a Pimp,” the Hustle & Flow track that helped Three 6 Mafia earn an Academy Award.

Another surprise guest was Wiz Khalifa who performed alongside Juicy J on their single “Pop That Trunk,” but the collaboration wasn’t what stole the show. Fans noticed that over on Amber Rose’s social media, she showed she, too, was at Verzuz to help support the father of her eldest son.

The co-parents have a great relationship and often lend support to one another, but the scene caused the public to speculate about a possible reconciliation. Wiz is reportedly dating someone else, but the world witnessed Rose call out the other father of her child, Alexander “AE” Edwards, for cheating months ago. At the time, he reacted by calling into a podcast and seemingly suggested that he was ready for the relationship to end because of his wandering eye.

However, days ago he penned a note that he shared online, admitting to his mistakes and publicly apologizing to Rose for his behavior. She has yet to respond, at least publicly, and it seems that she was having the time of her life in L.A. with Wiz and friends. Check it out below.

It may be his birthday, but Lil Baby is celebrating by supporting his ex. Many rappers and their exes or the mothers of their children have contentious relationships, but regardless of their past, Lil Baby and Jayda Cheaves remain thick as thieves. The pair have often made headlines over their on-again, off-again relationship and they’ve been able to maintain a close friendship despite rumors.

Jayda has been a businesswoman since she was in her teens and her fans have admired how she has expanded her brand over the years. Now, the 24-year-old has partnered with Pretty Little Thing to launch her own line and Lil Baby made sure he showed face at her party.

Jayda recently shared that her collection is live and up for grabs, and many expect this to sell out. Hello Beautiful describes Jayda’s collection as having a 2000s aesthetic and it is a wave that has taken over the fashion world. Meanwhile, Baby has been facing a few rumors that he has moved on from Jayda and has been dating Saweetie, but he denied the claims and declared that he is a single man.

Another Verzuz is in the books now that Three 6 Mafia and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony‘s appearances have come and gone. Things were pretty tense leading into this Verzuz, and as we saw, the show kicked off with a bang after Bizzy Bone erupted on members of the Memphis collective. After a brief break, Verzuz officials were able to get things back on track, and soon, Bizzy even rejoined his groupmates and offered up an apology.

Fans were happy to see that everyone was able to reconcile and make amends, and while it was all going down live, Swizz Beatz was in the comment section on Instagram letting a few things off of his chest about what may have been transpiring behind the scenes.

“Ain’t did a show in 23 summers and want to charge us like they sold out stadium prices ! Talking about yesterdays price is not today price sh*t,” Swizz wrote. “Talking bout we not going on stage until my homie call from Rikers to do the prayer… New rule if you don’t start on time you don’t get paid on time !!! Verzuz is not free !! They charge us 5x they do non black shows [thinking emojis][shrug emojis][wide eye emojis] Culture.”

He also complained about certain behaviors. “Coming on stage after getting paid 10shows in 1 verzuz just to get on stage Drunk AF and Later,” Swizz added. He didn’t specify exactly who he was speaking about, and we may never know. However, Bizzy Bone took to his Instagram Story to deny that it was his crew because he claimed they weren’t drunk and say their own prayers.

The school shooting that occurred in Oxford, Michigan earlier this week took the lives of four teenagers. Several others were injured and the shooter, 15-year-old Ethan Crumbley, was taken into custody. Videos from the incident showed frightened students and teachers securing themselves in classrooms as Crumbley went from room to room, pretending to be a police officer so he would be granted access.

This story has taken a strange turn now that investigators claim that Crumbley’s parents, James and Jennifer Crumbley, gave their son the gun as a Christmas present and were contacted by Ethan during the shooting. They reportedly responded by texting, “Lol I’m not mad at you. You have to learn not to get caught.”⁠

Authorities shared during a press conference that the Crumbley parents would also be charged in connection to the Oxford High School shooting, but at the time of this publication, they have not been taken into custody. According to CNN, their attorney claimed they skipped town for their safety.

“On Thursday night we contacted the Oakland County prosecutor to discuss this matter and to advise her that James and Jennifer Crumbley would be turning themselves in to be arraigned,” the statement from attorneys Shannon Smith and Mariell Lehman said. “Instead of communicating with us, the prosecutor held a press conference to announce charges.”

The statement added: “They are not fleeing from law enforcement despite recent comments in media reports.”

Earlier today (December 3), the Crumbley’s reportedly withdrew $4,000 from their bank account about 15 miles away from Oxford. Police were tracking their phones, but the couple reportedly turned them off. Their arraignment was scheduled for this afternoon and now, a fugitive task force has been implemented to locate the two.

Prosecutors allege that the Crumbleys were told by the school administration that their son had exhibited disturbing behaviors, including being shown a drawing depicting a victim of a school shooting. The Crumbleys are facing charges of involuntary manslaughter, four counts for each person who died. If convicted, they face a minimum of 15 years per count while their son is looking at life in prison without parole.

With the Nike Dunk Low having such a big year, it’s only fair that the Nike Dunk High gets some love as well. After all, this is one of the most classic silhouettes in the Nike library, and it only makes sense that the Beaverton brand would give it some shine. To end off 2021, Nike is releasing a whole slew of new offerings, and among them is this “Moon Fossil” Dunk High, which can be found, below.

As the official images dictate, the base of the sneaker is covered in black leather, all while the overlays are brown. It is a very earthy offering, although it certainly works for the Fall and Winter months. It definitely isn’t flashy, but if you need something that will work with almost any outfit, then these will certainly make the cut.

After initial reports pegged this shoe for a December 7th release date, it has been revealed that the shoe has been pushed back to Tuesday, December 28th. Let us know in the comments section below whether or not these or a cop, and as always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from the sneaker world.

As Drake switches up his haircut and has YK Osiris belting out songs to settle debts, he also has been dealing with a strange legal case. One would think that if someone is caught trespassing on your property, you would be able to take them to court, but a woman named Mesha Collins is suing the rapper, instead.

Radar Online reports that they have obtained documents showing that Collins has sued the superstar for $4 billion, alleging that he used both her name and likeness via his music, social media, and product endorsements. She also accuses him of doxxing her address.

Back in June, police reportedly responded to a call about a burglary at Drake’s Los Angeles home. The entire ordeal was rather bizarre because police “found Mesha had drank some of Drake’s refreshments and locked herself in a room. She was released from jail after posting a $100k bond.” Drake was said to have not pressed charges because he felt as if she had “personal issues,” but then, she sued him for billions.

The rapper’s legal team wanted the entire lawsuit dismissed, reportedly stating that it was “frivolous” while saying Collins’s accusations were merely “delusional figments of her imagination.”

Drake denied defaming Mesha in any manner and claims he never even knew her name. The rapper even filed a declaration in the case stating, “In April 2017, somebody broke into my Los Angeles home when I was not there. At the time of that incident, I was not told any details about the trespasser, including her name.”

“I do not know Plaintiff. I have never met her and have never communicated with her. I did not even know of Plaintiff until this lawsuit was filed and served. Indeed, I was unaware of Plaintiff’s identity, name, or where she alleges she lives until the filing and service of this lawsuit,” he added.

Drake’s lawyer filed new documents sitting that they believe Collins has erected a fictitious lawsuit in order to meet the rapper. She doesn’t seem to have an attorney representing her so when Drake’s lawyer called her, she was surprised. It’s reported that Collins “expressed disbelief that counsel for Graham indeed represented Graham. She ended the call by abruptly hanging up after asking counsel for Graham not to contact her again. Attempts to meet and confer are futile.”

They are asking the court to toss the lawsuit altogether.

One of the best shoes ever made is the Air Jordan 1 High, and over the years, Jordan Brand has done a great job at bringing new offerings to all of the fans out there. With the Winter on the horizon, Jumpman knows how important it is to deal with the elements, and that is exactly why they have created the Air Jordan 1 Element, which can be found below. The shoe is made with Gore-Tex, and it is set to receive a new “Sail” colorway.

This model has a nice white base to it, all while the overlays are made with a light greyish purple. From there, we have a black Nike swoosh, all while the back heel has some normal grey aesthetics. The Gore-Tex materials are very pronounced here, and it’s clear the shoe is made for when the skies aren’t being all that cooperative.

For those who are thinking of copping a pair for themselves, they will be able to do so as of Thursday, December 16th for a price of $200 USD. Sounds off on these, in the comments below, and stay tuned to HNHH as we will always bring you the latest updates from the sneaker world.

Earlier this year, Tiger Woods got into a brutal car accident that broke numerous bones in his leg. The star had to get surgery following the crash and it was revealed that he would have to take a lot of time off in order to heal. It was a horrible time for the golfing legend, although he was certainly well supported as many golfers and friends reached out to give him all of the well wishes in the world.

This week, Tiger revealed that he almost had his leg amputated as the damage was that significant. In the end, however, Tiger was able to have his leg put back together, and now, he is going through the painstaking rehab process.

While speaking to Golf Digest, Tiger revealed some key information surrounding his recovery, and the things he did to pass the time. In the clip below, Tiger notes that he ended up doing a lot of upper body lifting, as it was one of the few things he could do. In fact, Tiger worked on his bench press and was able to hit a personal record of 255 pounds. For someone who is 185 pounds, his record certainly isn’t bad. 

In the video, Tiger definitely looks a bit more swole, which is good news moving forward as he tries to get himself back into playing shape.

Sound off on what your bench press records are, in the comments below.

This year has been all about the Nike Dunk Low, and sneakerheads couldn’t be happier. The shoe has gotten a ton of new colorways and as we approach 2021, it appears as though Nike is looking to release even more great sneakers. Nike is specifically looking to make the most of the time they have left this year, as new Dunk Low colorways continue to get teased. One such model is the “Championship Goldenrod” offering, which can be found below.

The shoe is certainly flashy as the overlays are made with yellow leather. The base of the shoe itself is just black, but the yellow serves as a loud contrast that gives off some “Iowa” Dunk vibes. The yellow and black aesthetic is one that fans have always enjoyed, and it’s good to see Nike bringing it back in full force.

If you are interested in copping a pair of these, you will be able to do so as of Thursday, December 16th for a price of $100 USD. Head to the comments section below to let us know what you think of these kicks. Also, stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest updates from the sneaker world.
