Charles Barkley Gets Brutally Honest About Load Management

by

Charles Barkley is easily one of the most opinionated people out there in the basketball world. Overall, he is seen as one of those oldheads who will never respect the young generation. However, is a legend of the game of basketball, which means he has earned the right to have these sorts of opinions. Even if you don’t like him, you kind of have to admit that he is very entertaining. He and Shaq are a riot on TNT and we hope to hear their banter for years to come.

One of the topics that Barkley has been faced with as of late is none other than “Load Management.” Load Management is something that a lot of NBA critics have hated over the years. This is the process in which players take nights off as a way to save themselves for the playoffs. Although it is a fact of life in today’s game, a lot of people despise it. As you can imagine, the older generation is part of that hate train. Ultimately, they just want the players to give it their all for 82 games per season.

Charles Barkley Speaks

Today, Barkley made an appearance on First Take where he got to speak on this issue. This was part of a one-on-one conversation with Stephen A. Smith, and overall, it was quite interesting. Barkley got brutally honest about his thoughts on the matter and did not pull any punches. Overall, Chuck believes it is a matter of respect that players should have for the game and the fans. “You can’t make $30, $40, $50 million and then sit out games,” Barkley said. “I think it’s disrespectful to the game, I think it’s disrespectful to the fans.”

Load Management is one of those things that are absolutely not going to go away. Although commissioner Adam Silver has had to speak on it, we can still expect it to be a thing, moving forward. Whether you like that or not, simply does not matter to the league, its trainers, and its players. Give us your take on all of this, down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.

Chris Brown’s Baby Mama Ammika Harris Shows Off Their 3-Year-Old Son’s Growth

by

Ammika Harris, with whom Chris Brown shares three-year-old son Aeko, recently posted his incredible growth on Instagram. Moreover, she posted a picture of him right alongside the controversial R&B singer. In fact, he seems to be taking after his father’s style with a reversed snapback, chains, baggy pants, and a stylish sweater. Furthermore, the social media influencer couldn’t help but gush at the little guy’s growth spurt and how he’s growing in relation to his dad. Unfortunately, though, her post comes just days after they got into an altercation with Tommie Lee.

Before getting into that, Harris put family above all in her post. “Fresh little guy,” she captioned the picture. “He 3 [years old] and half of his dads size lol.” While it’s a wholesome post out of context, she also posted a picture of him about a week ago, right before her fight with Tommie Lee made headlines. Moreover, it seems like someone closed the door on Lee after she saw Aeko backstage at a Chris Brown show and she tried to break it down. Later, she addressed the allegations and blamed Harris for the door slam, taking the time to perplexingly insult the 3-year-old as well. “I don’t care about your baby,” she said on IG live, addressing Ammika. “F**k your baby. And f**k his daddy, too.”

Ammika Snaps Son Next To Chris Brown In Cute Post

While what exactly happened during this exchange is unclear, Lee still apologized for her comments later. “I want to start off by addressing the elephant in the room,” the reality star began, “I love the children, I love the children. I just want to apologize to Chris Brown and his baby mother ‘cause it’s not my character. It started off as the, you know, friendly sport of it. It got real, it happened. We all human and I’m here to knock this ***** out at this point.”

However, her comments resulted in Instagram taking down her account for her attacks. On her business page, she said she wouldn’t go down without a fight. “Oh pls I wish I would let y’all run me off the internet,” she wrote on her other account’s Story. “Yea right the hater did what they do and my s**t took!I love when the whole world against me it actually makes me feel closer to God!!!” Regardless of your take, log back into HNHH for the latest on Chris Brown, Ammika, and the Tommie Lee drama.

Cuban Link’s Prank On 50 Cent Backfires

by

50 Cent and Cuban Link are still going strong. The couple went public in 2019 and haven’t shied away from showcasing their relationship on social media and red carpet affairs. Cuban Link is always on Fif’s side whenever he’s premiering a television show. However, she also includes him in her social media antics which often lead to hilarious candid reactions from Fif. For example, she trolled him for his weight loss in All Things Fall Apart. “This mother fucker done lost her mind,” he said in response. “I’m a throw her fucking phone out of the highway.”

Overall, the couple is still quite happy with one another. Link often times showcases the funny side of their relationship on TikTok while also highlighting their successes. She doesn’t hesitate to publicly congratulate her man on his wins, whether on television or otherwise. Still, she drags Fif into her online antics every so often. It’s kind of like giving him a small dose of his own medicine, considering that he’s usually trolling everyone else.

While 50 Cent remains hip-hop’s biggest troll, it appears as though Cuban Link might be his match. This weekend, she shared a video of herself and 50 Cent laid up when she began recording herself and telling Fif about a man that’s been in her DMs. “This boy be in my DMs saying I’m pretty,” she said while Fif sounded nothing short of confused. “He said I’m pretty,” she reiterated. Fif kept his response short, telling her, “Go ‘head, get knocked out.” Link simply laughs it off before turning the camera off. 

The latest post from Cuban Link further dispels rumors that there was trouble in their relationship. Last year, reports emerged online that the couple split. Fif and Cuban Link allegedly unfollowed each other on Instagram and deleted pictures of each other off of their respective pages. In most cases, it’s a sign that a relationship is completely done but that’s evidently not the case. The two are still happy and together. Check out Cuban Link’s post above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments. 

Nia Long Admits Her Son, Kez, Is Having A “Really Tough Time”

by

Nia Long says that she and Ime Udoka’s son, Kez, is having a “really tough time” with his dad’s affair scandal. The Celtics famously suspended Udoka for the entirety of the 2022–23 season for violations of team policies. He reportedly had an improper intimate relationship with a female staff member of the organization. The team has since replaced him with Joe Mazzulla as head coach. Nia Long addressed how the scandal impacted her family during an interview with The Cut.

“My only focus right now is my youngest son ’cause he’s having a really tough time,” the actress said. “I’m sure I have some things that I’m suppressing, but I have to do that to take care of him first. That’s the giving. It’s natural.” She added: “I’m sure I’ll have to circle back with myself several times to reconcile things, but the one thing I’m trying not to harbor is anger.”

Later in the interview, Long called out the Celtics organization for choosing to make their business public knowledge. “The Celtics made a choice to make my family business public, and I don’t understand why,” she said. “It could’ve all been handled internally. I do understand why, but I can’t talk about it. Maybe one day I will. You know, fear drives stupidity, and I’ll leave that right there. I’ve learned that I’m stronger than I ever thought I was.”

Despite the drama, Nia Long says that the support she’s received from fans has helped her get through it. “It saved my mental well-being because I felt uplifted by the community in a way that felt like my family was checking in and making sure I was OK,” she shared. “And that, I appreciated.”

Udoka apologized after the incident became public. “I am sorry for putting the team in this difficult situation, and I accept the team’s decision,” he said in a statement to ESPN. “Out of respect for everyone involved, I will have no further comment.” He’s yet to officially join another team.

Kid Cudi fans are in luck! The “Day ‘N’ Nite” rapper took to Twitter last night to inform the masses that his new album is on the way. 

Boasting 2.7 million followers on Twitter alone, Cudi wrote in a tweet: “Album this Fall. First singles this summer. The new chapter has begun. Ur not prepared man. We’ve reached a new level.”

While we’re still only in winter, the 39-year-old teasing his project dropping in fall will give his fans something to look forward to. The good news? His new singles will be dropping in the summertime.

One Twitter use replied to the tweet, quoting it saying “Fuckkkkk yessss!!!! Please have a tour in the works  for this upcoming album🙏🥹 

@KiDCuDi 🔥🔥🔥.”

Kid Cudi responded by confirming that a world tour is indeed, in the books. He states, “World tour next year. Count on it.”

Anyone who’s seen Kid Cudi live knows that he’s a big touring artist, and his live performances speak for themselves. However, will this be Cudi’s last album?

Cudi previously went on record stating that the follow-up to 2020’s Man on the Moon III: The Chosen, might be his last. A tweet dating back to November 2022 states, “Im doin 1 more album and then im done w my deal and not sure what ima do after that but yea, 1 more.  Wont be next year. Keep u posted.”

The deal he’s referring to is with Republic Records. Cudi also hinted at retiring during an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music last year in September.

“The Kid Cudi stuff, I think I want to put it on the back burner and chill out with that,” Cudi explains. “I think, I want to be done with it. I think, closing the chapter on Kid Cudi. I’ve said a lot and I have other desires, I have other things I want to do. And I do not see me never making music. I’ll always fuck around in the studio, or make something here and there. But, as far as getting in the studio and working on an album, and then going and touring it, I just don’t have it in me. I don’t have the desire.”

Cudi went on to say he had many other things he wants to invest his time in, one being his daughter.

He states, “I really want to spend more time with my daughter. We’ve been kicking it a lot lately and I’ve been having more time and it’s good. She’s growing up, our relationship is super tight. It’s what I always dreamed of.”

For now, let’s bask in the idea that Cudi will be releasing new music this summer!

SZA Turned Down James Corden’s ‘Carpool Karaoke’ Because She Was ‘Scared’

Thanks to the gargantuan success of SZA’s new album SOS, the New Jersey singer has been everywhere lately, including the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 for 10 weeks. Despite not believing that fans would enjoy the album as much as they clearly are, SZA has embraced the attention this time around — which could mean we’ll see her in new places she avoided before.

One of those new places we might be seeing SZA is on James Corden’s popular series, Carpool Karaoke. In a new interview with Alternative Press magazine, SZA explained why she turned the show down the first time around, as well as why she might take a different route if she’s asked again. She says she rejected the prior offer to appear on the show because she was “scared of being on camera, looking bad, sounding bad and being perceived.”

However, she’s since come to terms with all of the above, saying, “I really have to remind myself this is my moment in the sun, and I have to take every opportunity because this sh*t may never happen again.”

She isn’t wrong; Corden’s late-night show, The Late Late Show, will end after nearly 30 years when the host leaves this year. Meanwhile, the fifth season of Carpool Karaoke has returned to Apple+ with guests Chelsea Clinton, Duran Duran, Method Man, and Russell and Ciara Wilson.
