Jack Harlow Took Over The Drive-Thru Window Of An Atlanta KFC To Promote His Upcoming Combo Meal

There are some collaborations that you might have expected from Jack Harlow this year, one of them being work with Drake. That came to fruition with their “Churchill Downs” record which recently received the visual treatment. There are also some collaborations we did not expect to receive from Jack Harlow. Aside from songs with Pharrell and Justin Timberlake, the Louisville star recently linked up with KFC for a new partnership. Sure, both Jack and the food chain share roots in Kentucky, but it’s not exactly the first brand partnership that comes to mind with Jack.

Nonetheless, just days after Jack announced the impending arrival of his own combo meal at KFC, he brought his talents to one of the chain’s Atlanta locations on Saturday. It’s here that Jack worked the drive-thru window at the KFC in Smyrna, located in Atlanta’s Cobb County. The restaurant featured a huge mural of the rapper on the side of its building and an enormous chicken bucket featuring Harlow’s face.

Jack’s combo meal will debut at KFC restaurants nationwide for a limited time starting Monday, June 6. The Jack Harlow Meal includes KFC’s Spicy Chicken Sandwich, Secret Recipe Fries, Mac & Cheese, a side of ranch, and a lemonade and it will be served in special packaging.

Jack Harlow is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Beyoncé Returns To IG With Gorgeous Photos After NYC Lunch Date With JAY-Z

It’s been a quiet few months on Instagram without Beyoncé’s presence – the last time the mother of three posted was at the end of March when she showcased her curvaceous figure in the sparkly, sheer dress she wore to her and husband JAY-Z’s legendary Oscar’s party – but as we enter into June, she’s made a return.

On Saturday, June 4th, the “Flawless” songstress dropped off a captionless photo dump captured in front of an attention-grabbing red and white wall. Queen B wore a body-hugging purple, red, and black printed dress, accessorized with matching gloves, white bangle bracelets, hoop earrings, and a small handbag.

The series of pictures see Beyoncé striking various poses, some of which show off her round behind, and others, her signature hourglass figure.

As Hollywood Life reports, the occasion that saw the Houston native so dressed up was a lunch date with her man in New York City, for which Hov rocked a cool patterned outfit of his own.

The “N*ggas In Paris” artist wore grey casual pants with a black, purple, and white short-sleeved button-down. On his feet, he wore crisp white kicks and protecting his eyes were a cool pair of round sunglasses.

Beyoncé has been keeping a relatively low profile as of late, although she was spotted arriving in Italy around the same time that Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker tied the knot, causing some to speculate that she might be a guest – read more about that here, and tap back in with HNHH later for more pop culture news updates.

Erica Banks Struts Her Stuff In Tiny Orange Outfit

It’s no secret that Erica Banks is proud of her body. Earlier this year, she posted a series of nearly-nude thirst traps to Instagram. In April, she unabashedly confirmed she got her body done, adding, “Don’t ask what I spent because it’s 4x your rent.”

Now, Banks is showing off what she’s got once more, this time in a tiny bright orange outfit. The video follows her as she walks confidently through a hallway, and then cuts to her perched on the floor, showing off her curves.

Banks’ confidence isn’t limited to just her body. Banks started a fire storm when she came at Nicki Minaj in an interview, saying, “I love Nicki, but I just felt like, I been trying to reach out to her for a long time but I felt like she kinda ignores me and she entertains girls who really can’t rap.” She got a lot of heat for the comments, but didn’t back down, writing in a response, “Idc how many gimmicky rappers or rappers with sob stories try to attack my character, I’m still that girl that get y’all hot by literally speaking bc I’m her. Now shut up & rap.”

Banks also went on the offensive when fans compared her music video visuals to those of Megan Thee Stallion. “If y’all would just pull my d**k out y’all mouth for a second y’all would probably realize that yall be sounding crazy,” she wrote on Twitter. “Stop being messy, yall been trynna knock me down for 2 years & I’m still relevant.”

Rapper Trouble Is Reportedly Dead At 35

The Atlanta rap community, and the music world overall, are left to grieve at the loss of another one of its artists. On Sunday morning, reports arrived that rapper Trouble had passed away at the young age of 35. The reports allege that Trouble was shot and killed, but these reports have yet to be confirmed. One of the first people to share their condolences about Trouble’s death was fellow Atlanta rapper Young Scooter, who posted his reaction to the news on his Instagram Story. “DAM SKOOB,” Scooter wrote with a picture of Trouble. “REST UP MY BOY.”

Trouble had been making waves in the rap community since 2011, the year that he released his debut mixtape, December 17th. The project gained plenty of attention for the Atlanta native as it was placed at No. 23 on Complex’s The 25 Best Mixtapes of 2011 list. For the next six years, Trouble would continuously release mixtapes before inking a deal with Mike Will Made-It’s Ear Drummers Records and Interscope Records in 2017. During this time, Trouble also laced notable collaborations with the links of Young Thug (“Theif In The Night“), YFN Lucci (“Key To The Streets“), and more.

In 2018, he released his debut album Edgewood. Highlighted by “Bring It Back” with Drake, the project carried 16 songs with additional features from The Weeknd, Quavo, Fetty Wap, Boosie Badazz, and more. It was later extended with five songs highlighted by an appearance by Offset. Trouble’s most recent project arrived in 2020 with Thug Luv. That delivered 18 songs with help from 2 Chainz, Quavo, Jeezy, City Girls, and more.

YSL Artist Strick Pays Tribute To A Canadian Icon On New Single, “Nelly Furtado”

While Gunna and Young Thug remain behind bars without bond in their ongoing gang indictment case, their Young Stoner Life label mate Strick is holding it down for his friends with a new single paying tribute to a Canadian music icon, “Nelly Furtado.”

“My ex, she a freak, she a goner (Bah, bah) / I’m a shark, I might swim with piranha’s (Shh) / Cullinan parked in front of the Carti (Skrrt) / Got this freak with me, say she like parties (Let’s go),” the 36-year-old rhymes on the chorus.

Along with the just under two-minute-long single, Strick shared a new music video that sees him getting up close and personal with a curly-haired beauty in between takes of him getting his bars off for the camera. 

Apart from the North Carolina native’s own talent, he also recruited several talented dancers to show their moves for the camera, channelling their own inner Nelly Furtado.

Quotable Lyrics:

Wrist came with slatt, that’s the motto (Slime)
Snatch it like Nelly Furtado (Shh)
Prada, just stick me some goggles

Cardi B Wishes Wave A Happy 9 Months In Adorable Post

Cardi B and Offset welcomed their second child together into the world back in September. Both have been very public about their love for Wave Set Cephus, whose name reportedly was thought of by his dad. In a collective statement after his birth, the couple said, “We are so overjoyed to finally meet our son. He is already loved so much by family and friends and we can’t wait to introduce him to his other siblings.”

Time flies, and now Wave is 9 months old. It seems his mother can barely believe it. Cardi posted a series of heartwarming photos of Wave onto IG yesterday. “Happy 9 months Wave,” she wrote. “My baby growing too fast on me.”

In a couple of the photos, Wave rocks a chain that’s almost the size of his head. Cardi had shown off the piece, which is a shark surfing a cresting wave, in a tweet back in April. Apparently Wave’s got a lot more where that came from. Elliot Elliante reportedly gave the child tennis chains, diamond studs, and a Miami link chain which, along with the wave piece, all total about $200,000.

Meanwhile, it seems the love between Cardi and Offset is as strong as ever. The two went out in style for a romantic date night, and Offset claims that Cardi is his favorite meal. Just this past week the two went on a baecation, and Cardi returned to her stripper roots in front of her husband.

Check out the entirety of Cardi B’s 9 month celebration post below. Here’s to many more.

Trina Speaks On Her Surprise Proposal

In September of last year, Trina revealed to the world that she had gotten engaged. While starring on the hit reality television show, Love & Hip Hop: Miami, fans got an inside look at her relationship with rapper, Ray Almighty. It’s been a year since the news broke, and The Baddest B*tch is still processing the entire ordeal.

In a sit-down interview with The Shade Room, the Miami native spoke about how the news of the proposal went down. In all actuality, the 47-year-old had no intentions of airing out her announcement. Social media influencer and life coach, Stormy Wellington, was on Instagram live as Trina was talking in the background– and it slipped out.

She told the outlet, “I was working at the radio… and I was talking to my friend on the phone. I didn’t know that I was on live with them. I was talking to him and they were on live, and as soon as I got off the air, it was everywhere.”

Stemming away from how everyone found out, the “Look Back At Me” artist detailed how the event took place. She recalled shooting a music video and being on set until 3 a.m. the next morning. “Right when the video was over,” she started, “that’s kind of when it happened.” When he popped the question, Trina, born Katrina Laverne Taylor, was at a loss for words.

“I was like ‘what,'” she told the interviewer. “I didn’t really believe it was happening, I think I was just out of it from the video,” she added. Trina concluded by stating, “It was a real ‘wow’ moment, but it was nice.”

The hip-hop community mourned the loss including Mike WiLL Made-It, who signed Trouble to EarDrummers Entertainment in 2017. Gucci Mane and Young Scooter also shared tributes, along with Bow Wow.
