Bad Bunny On Raya Dating App Following Wild Weekend With Kendall Jenner, Sources Say

by

Recent news of a fling between Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner nearly broke the internet this month. According to gossip blog DeuxMoi, the pair were playing “tonsil hockey” at a Los Angeles club a few weekends ago. Seeing as she’s been single for several months now, rumours of a new love in her life aren’t exactly surprising. Still, her decision to date the foreign artist certainly left some feeling unhappy, and they weren’t afraid to show it.

“Bad Bunny won’t get cancelled for throwing a phone. He might get cancelled for dating Kendall lol,” one Twitter user wrote recently. Regardless of what critics are saying, Benito and his new beauty are said to have eaten at the same LA restaurant the day after. Afterward, they left through separate exits, preventing any photos from being captured. Since then, updates on the rumoured pair have been sparse. Nevertheless, we do know that another of Jenner’s past flames has officially cut ties.

As headlines about his ex’s wild weekend continued to fly, NBA player Devin Booker finally unfollowed her on Instagram. They were most recently together last fall. By November, they decided to officially call things off after years of on-again-off-again antics. In the midst of their snooping, internet sleuths couldn’t help but notice that Jenner’s close friend Hailey Bieber was also unfollowed by the athlete.

When the gossip first broke a few weeks back, the California native was still following @dbook on the platform. Since then, however, she’s followed in his footsteps and seems to be happily moving on. Unfortunately for Jenner, it looks like things with Bunny may not be as serious as some thought.

DeuxMoi Claims Bad Bunny is Back on the Market

It was never confirmed that the black-haired beauty and the 28-year-old were an item, simply that they had some fun together on the weekend. Still, seeing your potential partner on a dating app, even in the early days of seeing each other, is never a good sign. According to DeuxMoi, Bad Bunny has been testing the waters on Raya lately.

“Amidst the Kendall Jenner dating rumours, I was notified by a DeuxMoi reader that Bad Bunny has been actively matching with women on Raya as recent as this Friday. Wonder what Kris Jenner thinks about that?” a blast from Sunday (February 27) reads. Neither the reality star nor the Bullet Train actor has addressed the situation yet, but we’ll certainly keep you posted if they do.

Jamie Lee Curtis Says “Freaky Friday 2” Is Happening

by

Jamie Lee Curtis has confirmed that a sequel to Freaky Friday is definitely going to happen. The 64-year-old actress addressed the state of the franchise at the Producers Guild Awards, according to Variety. The original film released back in 2003 starring Lindsay Lohan opposite Curtis. The two play a mother and daughter who swap bodies after finding a mysterious and magical Chinese fortune cookie. It grossed over $160 million worldwide on a budget of only $26 million and received mostly positive reviews from critics.

“It’s going to happen,” she said. “Without saying there’s anything officially happening, I’m looking at you in this moment and saying, ‘Of course it’s going to happen.’ It’s going to happen.” Earlier this month, Curtis also shared a photo of herself with Lohan on Instagram with the caption, “It’s Friday. I’m just sayin! Freaky fingers crossed!”

Elsewhere on the red carpet for the Producers Guild Awards, Curtis ran into Andor star Diego Luna and his daughter, Fiona, who mentioned being a huge fan of the first film. Curtis whispered something about the film into Fiona’s ear in response. “I just told her she’s going to the premiere of ‘Freaky Friday 2’ and I told her a secret about it that nobody knows,” Curtis said. “She’s the only one in the world who knows what I just told her.”

Back in November, Curtis confirmed that preliminary talks about a second Freaky Friday film were ongoing. “There is no scheduled date, but we’re talking. People are talking. The right people are talking,” she said at the Los Angeles premiere of Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. “I’m 64 in a week and Lindsay is 36…[A sequel] lends itself so beautifully, We’re both committed to it, and it’s not ours to make. It’s Disney’s to make and I think they’re interested and we’re talking.” Check out the moment that Curtis ran into Diego Luna and Fiona below.

Russell Westbrook Inexplicably Benched In 4th Quarter

by

Russell Westbrook was traded to the Utah Jazz recently where he was eventually bought out. Subsequently, Russ went to the Los Angeles Clippers where he will get to engage in some playoff basketball. In his first game with the Clippers, the team engaged in a classic shootout with the Sacramento Kings. Although they lost by a score of 176-175, there is no doubt that Russ was great in the match. The Clippers appear to be a much better fit for Russ, and you can tell that he is already much happier.

Last night, the Clippers took on the Denver Nuggets, who are the top team in the Western Conference. Overall, Russ had another great game as he had a total of 17 points after three quarters. However, Russ was inexplicably left on the bench for the entire fourth quarter. Moreover, once the game went to overtime, he didn’t see any minutes there either. What makes this decision so interesting is the fact that Russ had done nothing wrong. He was great during the game, and the Clippers could have won with him in the lineup.

Russell Westbrook Benched

Consequently, Ty Lue was questioned about his decision following the game. For Lue, it was simply a matter of momentum. He felt as though the lineup that finished the game was gaining steam and he didn’t want to mess up the chemistry. Overall, his decision turned out to be a bad one as the Clippers lost yet another game. It also elicited a ton of comments from fans on social media. For the most part, fans are upset, and they want Russ to get a fair shake on his new team.

“Minutes limited Paul George played 36 minutes tonight. Russell Westbrook played 25 minutes…didn’t play in the 4th quarter or overtime. No injury news given. Tyronn Lue is a suspect and I hope you’re searching your name to see this,” One user wrote. Many other comments were very similar to this, as they could not believe Ty Lue’s decision-making. Let us know what you think about all of this, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from the sports world.

Maino Chokes Out YouTuber Over Failed Prank Attempt

by

Buzzing YouTuber Buba100x is apparently willing to do whatever it takes to become the next big figure on the platform. The YouTuber’s gained significant steam over the past few months, thanks to the success of his prank videos. What began with innocuous practical jokes, like ding dong ditch, and videos of blind dates, he eventually began getting acquainted with rappers in the local drill scene. From there, his views began to grow astronomically, though some of his pranks have undoubtedly led to some trouble.

Last month, Buba100x shared a controversial prank video alongside budding drill rapper Nas EBK. In the video, Buba and Nas head into a ShopRite where they disturb many customers. While the video shared on Buba’s page gained 430K+ views, it resulted in charges against Nas EBK. At one point, Buba and EBK get into an argument with an employee before EBK pulls what appears to be a knife out of his pocket. “Walk toward me again and I’ll violate you,” EBK said before allegedly kicking the employee and running out of the store. Though Buba didn’t face charges, police arrested Nas EBK for terroristic threats and assault. 

Buba100x Tries Maino & Fails

Despite the recent brush with the law, Buba100x continues to keep a consistent stream of content on deck. Most recently, he interviewed Maino for his YouTube channel but things got intense after Buba asked to wear the rapper’s chain. “See, now you just chatting. I gave you a time, now you just chatting,” Maino said, unimpressed with Buba’s request. However, things took a turn for the worse when Buba tried to up the ante.

“On a scale of 1-10, how badly do you think I can beat your ass?” Buba asked Maino, who was not willing to entertain the question. The Lobby Boyz rapper took Buba by the neck and pinned him to a table before warning him. “I just told you, it’s not just a stupid video. Don’t play with me,” Maino said. Though it could’ve been part of a prank, people in the background appeared to be shocked by Maino’s reaction. “Damn, he’s really choking him,” one person’s heard saying in the background. Check the prank above. 

Drake Sort Of Regrets Using His Ex-Girlfriends’ Real Names In Past Songs

by

Drake and Lil Yachty sat down for a 35-minute interview that served as the premiere episode of Yachty’s “A Moody Conversation” from his FUTUREMOOD brand. The conversation dropped on Friday, February 24. Within the first 10 minutes, Drake opened up about an eventual “graceful exit” from the rap game and which aspects of his music haven’t necessarily aged gracefully.

“I feel like I’m kind of introducing the concept in my mind of a graceful exit,” Drake told Yachty. “I feel like a lot of people that I’ve watched as the years have gone on, it’s a really addictive, competitive space, and oftentimes, you’re addicted to the competition itself. And so, sometimes it’ll baffle you. Like, why are these people still making attempts at trying to present in the space? And then you’ll realize, like, their needs and desires and their soul was probably fed for so long off of being a guy or the guy that they can’t let it go.”

He continued, “I guess what’s left for me is just to find a way to gracefully — like, I’m not ready now, but to gracefully continue making projects that are extremely interesting and hopefully cherished by people, and then to find the right time to say, ‘I can’t wait to see what the next generation does.’ I’ll still be around to work with people or do a show here or there, but I’m not going to force myself to compete.”

This reminded Yachty of Drake referencing his plan to retire by 35 years old on the 2016 Views track “Weston Road Flows. (Drake turned 36 last October.) The Toronto icon immediately cringed. “Nah, I hate hearing that sh*t. I heard it the other night when we were at the club,” he said before noting he thought 35 was “really old” back then.

Drake then elaborated on his two music-related regrets in hindsight:

“I think that and sometimes when I’ve said girls names in songs, maybe those are the two things that I look back on and I’m like, ‘Ah, maybe I could’ve done without sh*tting on people for age or disrupting somebody’s life.’ The lyrics are never with ill intent, but I had somebody say one time, ‘You know, it’s not necessarily what you’re saying about me; it’s the fact that you said it. Just in the sense of, ‘You don’t know what it does to me. You don’t know who my boyfriend is at the time. You don’t know what my family or doesn’t know, and if you express any form of [ill will] for me in a song and call me by name, then all of a sudden, I’m left to pick up the pieces of my own life that I’ve tried to build up for myself.’”

Drake added that he’s “tried my best” to stop naming his ex-girlfriends in songs, but his affinity for honest music makes it a “push and pull” balancing act. Yachty admitted that he used to think his friend was making girls’ names up, and Drake confirmed he doesn’t think he’s “ever made a girl’s name up, ever in life.”

Tom Cruise Shoots Down Iron Man Rumors: “Not Close”

by

Tom Cruise says that he wasn’t “close” to playing Iron Man amid rumors that he nearly landed the role over Robert Downey Jr. Cruise addressed the idea during a recent interview with Phase Zero, while also revealing whether he’d ever work with Marvel. Cruise previously admitted to being contacted to play Iron Man during an interview with IGN in 2005. Downey Jr. took on the iconic role in 2008 kicking off the Marvel Cinematic Universe as we know it today.

“Not close, not close,” he said. “I love Robert Downey Jr., and I can’t imagine anyone else doing that role. And I think it’s perfect for him.” As for whether he’d star in a superhero film, he added: “I look at a movie and think, you know, I don’t rule anything out. It’s ‘What’s the story? What’s the character?’ Does it interest me? Do I feel this is what an audience would like to see me in? What can I learn, and what can I contribute? That’s really how I look at things.”

Cruise most recently starred in Top Gun: Maverick alongside Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Glen Powell, Lewis Pullman, Ed Harris, and Val Kilmer. He reprises his role from the 1986 film Top Gun. The film has grossed a worldwide total of $1.489 billion at the box office. It’s up for Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Song, Best Sound, Best Film Editing, and Best Visual Effects at the 95th Academy Awards.

Cruise recently spoke about working on the movie with Val Kilmer during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. He revealed that the collaboration made him emotional on set. “I just want to say that was pretty emotional, I’ve known Val for decades. For him to come back and play that character…he’s such a powerful actor, that he instantly became that character again…you’re looking at Iceman,” Cruise said, before admitting, “I was crying, I got emotional.” Kilmer suffers from throat cancer which makes speaking extremely difficult for him.

Beyoncé’s Ivy Park Reportedly Underperformed By $200 Million In 2022

by

Beyoncé is easily one of the biggest artists in the entire world. Overall, she is one of the most beloved artists of this entire generation. The artist is seen as a fantastic performer who also puts out phenomenal albums. In the eyes of many, she simply cannot do wrong. Her latest body of work Renaissance was a massive success, and her supporters are already looking forward to the next project. Considering how Beyoncé is always changing her sound and reinventing herself, we’re sure we can expect something truly unique.

Additionally, the artist is always trying to expand her brand outside of music. One way she has done that is through her Ivy Park brand with Adidas. This is a brand that came out just a few years ago after numerous meetings with various other sportswear companies. In the end, she chose Adidas because it reportedly aligned the most with her goals and her beliefs. However, it seems as though Ivy Park hasn’t been the success that Adidas was hoping for. This news comes from Rex Woodbury, who is a business writer and investor.

Beyoncé x Ivy Park Struggles

In the tweets above, you can see that Woodbury details how Beyoncé’s athleisure brand lost Adidas about $200 million in 2022. This is because the brand thought that it would sell upwards of $250 million. Although, the brand actually only did about $40 million in sales. These are horrific numbers for the brand, which is set to lose $1.3 billion thanks to the likes of Kanye West. Overall, many are chalking up these numbers to the fact that Beyoncé isn’t someone who has ever sported athleisure. Simply put, this was never a good fit.

Regardless, it seems as though Adidas and Ivy Park still have plans for future releases. After all, the two are currently under contract, and it would be an admission of defeat for either side to call it quits. However, it is clear that the two will need to change their marketing strategies, moving forward. Let us know what you think about these numbers, down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the streetwear world.

A$AP Rocky’s Frog Clogs Make A Splash As He Departs Milan With Rihanna

by

Milan Fashion Week has wrapped for another year, and no shortage of incredible looks made their debut on the runway. Apart from the upcoming season’s freshest designs, the world has also been closely eyeing the looks we’ve seen various celebrities boldly execute. Among those really making waves this season is Uncut Gems actress, Julia Fox, who turned heads with her leather lingerie. Elsewhere, A$AP Rocky proudly stepped out for the Gucci F/W 2023/24 presentation over the weekend.

The rapper was recently revealed to be the face of the brand’s new “Guilty” fragrance campaign. As always, he put together his best outfit to sit in the front row. It consisted of an oversized suit and tie look and freshly braided hair. The 34-year-old has been known to sport unique styles in the past. Still, what he did for Gucci proves just how much loyalty he feels toward the Italian company.

Prior to stepping out for his fashion week engagement, Rocky made sure to have his hair styled by the best. On either side of his head, the soon-to-be father of two rocked the letter “G,” representing the Gucci logo. Additionally, he had a larger monogram braided into the back of his head, which he happily showed off to photographers in the vicinity.

Much to the world’s surprise, Rihanna didn’t join her fan for the event – likely because she was spending time with their 9-month-old son. Still, the Bad Gal was captured on camera with the “Distorted Records” artist several times. We saw her during their arrival in Italy, as well as during Friday’s (February 24) date night. Most recently, the pair was seen at the Milan airport on Sunday (February 26), with Rocky’s unique outfit once again catching our eye.

For her part, the 35-year-old wore an oversized leather jacket layered over a cozy hoodie. A large forest green bag carried everything she would need for a lengthy flight. Behind her, A$AP carried their son in a black car seat. For his part, the New Yorker also looked cozy in a mostly black ensemble, including his coveted custom NFL championship jacket.

What really has fans talking is the rapper’s shoes – a pair of $460 frog clogs designed by JW Anderson. As DailyMail notes, the footwear almost resembles something a child would wear. Thanks to Rocky’s impressive confidence and styling skills, he was able to pull them off. At this time, it remains unclear if he and Rihanna are headed back to the U.S., or if they’ll be stopping in Paris for the upcoming fashion week there.
