Adonis Graham Helps His Mom Sophie Brussaux With Her Makeup In Adorable Video: Watch

by

Adonis Graham continues to melt hearts. At just four years old, Drake’s only child has a personality that’s as big as his massive pile of golden curls, and both of his parents love to show him off on their Instagram pages.

While the world is more familiar with Champagne Papi’s name, his mom – artist Sophie Brussaux – is a star in her own right, and seeing as her bio reads “mom to the greatest little human in the known universe and beyond,” it’s clear that her adoration for Adonis runs deep.

On Saturday, April 30th is appears that the French creative and her son spent some bonding time together, tapping into their creative sides. In a series of clips added to Brussaux’s Story, we see the cherub boy adamantly painting her face with a makeup brush before turning pack to the mostly brown pallete to pick up more product.

“When you want to encourage your child’s artistic skills,” she wrote on the first slide. The pair can be heard chatting back and forth in French, sharing a laugh as Adonis nearly gets his mother’s eye. “Almost lost an eye in the process but hey, c’est la vie ma pov Lucette,” she concluded, letting followers know that the mess was worth it to her.

While Brussaux will likely pass her painting skills onto her son, it seems that Drake is passing on his love for basketball as he and the young boy are often spotted sitting courtside at NBA games together – check out photos of the duo here, and tap back in with HNHH later for more celebrity news updates.

Toya Wright Gives Reginae Carter Dating Advice; Shuts Down Fredo Bang

by

In December of last year, Reginae Carter confirmed that she was single on Twitter. This came after her split from rapper ex-boyfriend, YFN Lucci. The two began dating in 2018, and their relationship issues were always displayed on social media. They broke up, they made up, and the cycle continued.

That was until Lucci turned himself in for murder and gang charges. Since then, the daughter of Lil Wayne has been on the market. However, it appears that she might be open to dating soon.

While on Instagram live, Reginae got asked if she would ever consider dating anyone younger than her. She replied, “No. No. No,” as she clapped her hands at every word. “You little boys is annoying. Y’all play too much.” She went on to scoff at the thought and claimed that she was too mature to ever consider the idea. Being that she is 23 years of age, that would make guys younger than her “15 or 16” in terms of maturity, she mentioned.

Further into the live, her mother, Toya Wright, joined her and they continued talking about the topic of dating. Toya even offered to set her daughter up on a blind date with a man she met from church– but Reginae laughed and declined the offer.

As they were chatting, Fredo Bang, a rapper from Baton Rouge, hopped into the comments. After seeing his name, Reginae sighed, “Boy… a rapper. Another rapper.”

The 38-year-old took no time shutting down his attempt. “Rapper? No go away… If you’re on this live and you’re a rapper and you think that she’s about to be with you, you’ve got to come see me first. And it’s going to be negative.”

Toya insisted that she could see her daughter with an actor or a football player– as long as they treat her how Russell Wilson treats Ciara.

Pete Davidson Jokes About Kanye West at Stand-Up Show

by

Pete Davidson returned to the stage for his first show in three years during the first night of “Netflix Is A Joke: The Festival.”

During the sold-out show at the Hollywood Bowl on Thursday, the “SNL” star brought up his troubled relationship with Kanye West. According to “Entertainment Tonight,” Davidson opened his set by referencing the time Kim Kardashian’s ex allegedly spread a rumor that Davidson had AIDS.

Davidson joked that he believed he had the deadly virus because Ye is “a genius.” He also reportedly quipped that being humiliated is “weird when you can’t do anything about it.”

Davidson has been on the receiving end of West’s attacks after he started dating Kim amid the couple’s divorce. Ye threatened to “beat Pete Davidson’s ass” on his “Eazy” collaboration with The Game, and depicted his kidnapping and burial in the music video. He also took aim at Davidson several times on social media.

Later in his stand-up set, Davidson went on to joke about Jack Harlow collaborating with West on DONDA 2, but said he was not upset about it despite his friendship with Harlow. However, he said that if his King of Staten Island co-star Bill Burr went to Sunday Service, it would be a different story.

The comedian also recalled going to a basketball game with Chris Rock in December 2021. “Before life was over,” he joked, noting that both comics had unfortunate things happen to them afterward. For Rock, it was Will Smith’s infamous slap at the Oscars, while for Davidson, it was having his head cut off in the “Eazy” video.

Ye has since stopped using social media and refrained from attacking Davidson following reports that he is “going away to get help.”

“Kanye has been laying low and focusing on healing. He is trying to disconnect from all the drama that happened between him and Kim,” a source told “ET.” “He is focused on taking care of himself, getting healthier, and removing himself from all the craziness. He cares deeply about his family and kids. They are his number one priority and he’s working on himself.”

Saucy Santana Thwarts Charlamagne The God’s Attempt To Clown A Co-Worker’s Interest In The Rapper

Saucy Santana is enjoying some high moments in his career at the moment. He recently joined Latto on a stop in Atlanta during her Monster Energy Outbreak tour which came a few months after he released his most recent project Keep It Playa. That effort delivered 16 songs with contributions from City Girls, Kali, Beatt King, and Rubi Rose. More recently, Saucy announced that he signed a record deal with RCA which further proves that the trajectory of his career is on an upward climb. Saucy shared the news during a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club, and it’s here that an awkward moment also took place.

During the live broadcast of The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne Tha God invited one of his co-workers on the show to step into the room to meet Saucy. It’s here that Charlamagne revealed that the individual “really enjoys your twerk videos.” Saucy clearly did not expect things to pan out as they did. “You buggin’ the f*ck out,” Saucy said to Charlamagne who replied, “I’m not lying. I’m dead serious… He actually said to the room, ‘Y’all don’t be watching Saucy Santana twerk videos?”

Saucy asked the worker if they enjoyed and they replied, “It’s entertainment. I thought it was funny.” Despite the awkward energy in the room, Saucy was able to use the interaction to make a point about his career. “That’s what I love about me,” Saucy later said. “Now I’m at a place in my career where n****s ain’t scared to be like, ‘Yo, I f*ck with the music’ or ‘I f*ck with the vibe,’ or just anything. You could be a straight n**** but you f*ck [with it].”

He continued, “That’s one thing I take pride in. I feel like a hit is undeniable, music is undeniable, star quality [and] star power are undeniable. So regardless if you’re a man, woman, white, Puerto Rican, polka dot: if it’s enjoyable and you f*ck with it, then you f*ck with it.”

You can watch the moment between Saucy, Charlamagne, and The Breakfast Club worker in the video above.

Action Bronson’s “Cocodrillo Turbo” Receives Huge Love From Questlove

by

Action Bronson’s Cocodrillo Turbo LP arrived earlier this weekend, following 2020’s Only For Dolphins and featuring Conway the Machine, Hologram, Meyhem Lauren, Roc Marciano, and Yung Mehico. So far, positive reviews for the unique 10-track project have been pouring in online, including one from Questlove, who was surprised by how much he enjoyed AB’s work.

“Wow,” the 51-year-old wrote on Twitter yesterday (April 29th). “Was NOT expecting to be THIS mind blown over this new Bronson jawn. This [crocodile] jawn might be his most solid offering as an LP.”

As HipHopDX notes, another famous face to express their approval of Cocodrillo Turbo is Fake Shore Drive founder Andre Barber, who hopped on Twitter to share his excitement.

“New Action Bronson album on repeat, it’s so good,” Barber mused. “He really made a whole crocodile movie in audio form.”

When introducing his project to fans on Instagram, Bronson wrote, “IT’S FINALLY HERE. THE NEXT CHAPTER IN THE DR. BAKLAVA SAGA. FEATURING SOME HOMIES. ART DIRECTION BY ME. I HOPE YOU ENJOY.”

While Cocodrillo Turbo clearly received an A+ from Questlove, we have to wonder what the Philadelphia-born musician thought of Future’s I NEVER LIKED YOU. After seeing that Hendrix made it on the cover of GQ and was dubbed the “best rapper alive,” the Roots frontman didn’t hesitate to challenge the publication’s moniker for him.

Stream “Wasted” Featuring Juicy J In Celebration Of Travis Scott’s 31st Birthday

by

The last half of Travis Scott’s 30th trip around the sun was undeniably tough due to the fiasco that unfolded at his annual Astroworld Festival, leaving 10 patrons dead and thousands more traumatized. Luckily, he’s starting 31 out on a high note, celebrating his birthday days after announcing that he nabbed a headlining spot at Primavera Sound later this year. 

As he continues to move forward from the November 2021 tragedy, Scott has his sights set on the arrival of his long-awaited Utopia album. Late last year he dropped off “ESCAPE PLAN” and “MAFIA” to major success, and his most recent efforts have seen him connect with Southside and Future for “Hold That Heat.”

While we still have an undetermined amount of time to wait before hearing anything new from Scott, in honour of his birthday we’re throwing it back to a track from one of his earlier works, Rodeo. The title we’ve selected is “Wasted,” a collaboration with Juicy J that finds the two artists hyping up the South and themselves with braggadocious bars.

Happy 31st Birthday Travis Scott!

Quotable Lyrics:

I’ve been grinding, slaving over time since I was a fan
Looking in the mirror like “One day, Jacques, you gon’ be the man”
One skinny, tatted n*gga, blunt flicker
Young La Flame, hot spitter who can’t hold his liquor, yah

Tyga and MSCHF Can No Longer Sell Their ‘Wavy Baby’ Sneakers Thanks To A Judge’s Ruling

by

Earlier this month, Tyga and Brooklyn-based art collective MSCHF teamed up for their Wavy Baby sneakers, which to most consumers, looked awfully similar to a pair of Vans Old Skool sneakers. MSCHF even admitted to the similarities, saying that the Wavy Baby sneakers were a parody of Vans’ classic shoe. To the surprise of no one, Vans filed a lawsuit for trademark infringement against Tyga and MSCHF, and to the duo’s assumed disappointment, they will now have to put a halt on future sales of the Wavy Baby sneakers. It comes after a judge ruled in favor of Vans due to the shoes’ “striking visual similarities.”

According to Billboard, U.S. District Judge William F. Kuntz shared the ruling on Friday and he did not hold back in his statement about the matter. “Despite defendant’s assertions the Wavy Baby shoes belong in museums and galleries for exhibition, the production of 4,306 pairs of shoes places the Wavy Baby shoes on a mobile footing vastly different from one found at the Brooklyn Museum,” Judge Kuntz wrote. MSCHF previously said that their Wavy Baby sneakers were a parody that was meant to comment on “sneakerhead” culture, but Judge Kuntz said that he nor consumers would catch the joke.

“Whatever the actual artistic merits of the Wavy Baby shoes, the shoes do not meet the requirements for a successful parody,” he wrote. “While the manifesto accompanying the shoes may contain protected parodic expression, the Wavy Baby shoes and packaging in and of themselves fail to convey the satirical message.”

Despite this ruling, MSCHF claimed that nearly all orders of the Wavy Baby shoes had already been sold and shipped. As a result, Judge Kuntz also ordered MSCHF to place all profits from the shoe into escrow so that they could potentially be returned to consumers. He also ordered them to cancel or reverse any and all orders that they could.

In response to the ruling, MSCHF’s attorney Megan K. Bannigan said that the company would continue the fight and claimed that the decision entirely omitted key legal precedents. “The court’s decision fails to recognize MSCHF’s First Amendment rights to artistic expression, regardless of the particular medium or form of that expression,” Bannigan said. “MSCHF will continue to litigate this case, including through all available appeals, to secure its and all artists’ freedom to make their art.”

Kylie Jenner On Maternity Struggles: “Gained 60lbs Again… Trying To Be Healthy & Patient”

by

Kylie Jenner loves being a mother of two, but it doesn’t come without its struggles. While the socialite kept her first pregnancy with Stormi Webster pretty well hidden from the public eye, this time around she’s been much more candid with her 334 million Instagram followers about the issues she’s faced.

Back in March, the 24-year-old admitted to struggling with some postpartum depression. “This experience for me personally has been a little harder than with my daughter,” she said in a video at the time.

“It’s not easy mentally, physically, spiritually… It’s just, crazy! I didn’t want to just get back to life without saying that, because I think we can look on the internet and, you know, for other moms going through it right now, we can go on the internet and it might look a lot easier for other people, and like, but the pressure on us, but it hasn’t been easy for me either.”

Now, weeks later, Jenner is getting vulnerable again, this time opening up about how she’s been combatting the weight gain that came along with her youngest’s arrival. “Gained 60lbs again this pregnancy,” she wrote on her Story on Friday, April 29th.

“Down 40lbs, just trying to be healthy and patient. Walking/pilates is my favourite combo.”

As TMZ points out, Jenner previously said in 2018 that she gained 40 pounds while carrying Stormi, so her post has left some confused, but nonetheless, she’s on the right track to getting her mental and physical health to where she wants it to be.

In other news, we still haven’t been informed what Kylie and her beau Travis Scott named their baby – he was previously called Wolf Webster, but the couple ultimately changed their minds after spending more time with the young boy; read more about that here, and tap back in with HNHH later for more celebrity news updates.
