Rihanna’s Super Bowl Halftime Show Was Apparently Porn-Like, According To Some Of The 103 FFC Complaints It Received
Like the passage of time and Pusha T dropping a Cocaine Bear remix, FCC (Federal Communications Commission) complaints about major TV events are an inevitability. So, it turns out that some people out there didn’t particularly care for Rihanna’s Super Bowl Halftime Show earlier this month, so much so that they let the FCC know about it (as TMZ reports).
The publication notes that of the 103 FCC complaints made about the Super Bowl broadcast on February 12, “almost all of them” were about Rihanna’s performance. One viewer wrote in their complaint, “This year the halftime show was so indecent I had to turn off the TV because of the pornographic content.” Another compared it to Sam Smith and Kim Petras’ “Unholy” performance at the 2023 Grammys, writing, “I don’t care what someone worships but children shouldn’t be exposed to pornography and as an adult I don’t wish to see it. […] Where has decency gone? How about respect for others and self?”
Others made note of “overtly sexual dancing” in the performance, with one person saying Rihanna’s background dancers had moves that “were patently offensive and completely inappropriate for children.” Another person noted of Rihanna, “She spread her ass cheek at the crack. She rubbed her pants where her labia were three times.”
As TMZ notes, though, this is nothing to the infamous Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake wardrobe malfunction at the 2004 Super Bowl, which drew 540,000 complaints at the time.
EST Gee Reflects On Being “Undefeated” In New Track
Football player-turned-rapper EST Gee has released yet another single, titled “Undefeated.” The 28-year-old, who has already dropped several projects since the new year including “BLOW UP” and “IF I STOP NOW,” takes a more intimate approach to his newest track. The steady trap beat in “Undefeated” paves way for authentic reflection and features the rapper’s moody bars. Throughout the verses, EST spits about overcoming past and present challenges in his life.
EST, who is signed to Yo Gotti’s Collective Music Group, has been on the radar following the 2020 releases of his third and fourth mixtapes Ion Feel Nun and I Still Don’t Feel Nun. The rapper has since collaborated with the minds of other trap artists including Young Thug, Pooh Shiesty, and Lil Durk. Most recently, EST was featured on Lambo4oe’s single “Self Esteem” in which he showed his versatility as a hip-hop artist.
EST Gee Uncovers His Troubled Beginnings In “Undefeated”
In “Undefeated,” EST dishes out his triumphs, but also acknowledges that he has ways to go. The Kentucky native hasn’t been shy to reveal the rocky road that has brought him to success, which included an arrest for drug trafficking that eventually led him to start his rap career. At one point in the track, EST reveals his troubles with drugs but quickly sweeps it under the rug. “It was what it was, but I’m done ventin’, finish, the streets ain’t got no love,” he raps.
All in all, “Undefeated” follows suit of EST’s recent musical endeavors, showcasing his tenacity for growth within the industry. Although he typically classifies as a trap and hip-hop artist, this promising rapper is proving to pave the road for his own unique and authentic style. “Undefeated” is now streaming on all platforms, so be sure to let us know what you think about the track in the comments down below. As always, keep in touch with HNHH for the latest in hip-hop.
Quotable Lyrics:
Even Pluto said I’m great, he wanna help me change my fate
Took a monster out on tour just for the world to know my face
Fifty-six nights straight, I go in beast mode for that pape’
This a reservation for rank, it’s a marathon and a race
DDG Addresses Rubi Rose Beef On “Way Too Petty,” Claps Back At Halle Bailey Fans Hating
The drama continues. If you thought DDG was done addressing the accusations Rubi Rose threw his way earlier this month, you’re wrong. After vehemently denying cheating on his girlfriend, Halle Bailey, the Michigan native has been regularly reminding Twitter precisely what it is that makes him such a great boyfriend. He’s made it clear that he wants to continue his relationship with the R&B starlet, though fans are becoming less and less sure they’re the perfect match.
Previously, the “Elon Musk” artist spoke about the situation in a YouTube vlog, which many viewers saw as a satisfactory explanation. Many also noted that Bailey made a brief appearance in the video, seemingly proving that their union hasn’t been tarnished as many outside spectators assume. Like any creative though, he also had to turn his pain into art, doing so in the form of a new single called “Way Too Petty” that arrived on Friday (February 24).
DDG Thinks Rubi Rose is “Way Too Petty”
Throughout his new track, DDG explicitly calls out Rose for attempting to expose him with screenshots of their alleged DMs. “Hoes screenshotting, that shit lame / Keep her on the side, she could never be my main,” he cooly rhymes. “She just wanna make it, she be f*cked for the fame / Posting pictures naked, baby, you should be ashamed.” Later on in the single, he also addresses his ex’s recent tweet about his current girlfriend wearing her old shirt.
“Tell them n*ggas do they research. I could fall off and come right back like it’s rebirth. Don’t believe the internet, it’s not that bitches t-shirt,” he cautions listeners, telling his side of the story. While her post at the time made it sound as though the Kentucky native had a problem with Bailey, she made it clear at the time that there was no beef between the two women. DDG, on the other hand, she chiefly called a “weirdo” for all of Twitter to see.
Halle Bailey Fans Come to the Rescue, DDG Responds
As the YouTuber continues to air out his drama for all of the internet to see, many of The Little Mermaid actresses’ fans are encouraging her to walk away from the relationship. “Halle get back in that sea and find another fish baby,” one Instagram user joked. “Is he trying to ruin her career?” another asked in wake of DDG’s latest controversial single. He’s clearly gotten wind of the critics and in a since-deleted tweet, he explained to them exactly why Bailey’s still standing beside him.
“‘Why tf she still fw him?’ I got a mean d*ck,” he explicitly wrote, only bringing in further backlash. As one comment on @theneighborhoodtalk’s post points out, “[DDG] is comfortable with [Halle] now and showing them true colours. She needs to run ’cause the red flags are red flagging.” Do you think the “Way Too Petty” song and the rapper’s deleted tweet are strong enough cause for a breakup? Sound off in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news.
The Weeknd Taps Ariana Grande For “Die For You” Remix
The Weeknd will finally close out the Dawn FM chapter of his career tomorrow when HBO debuts his highly-anticipated televised LA concert, Live At The SoFi. Dawn FM is one of his most ambitious projects to date, fleshed out by a tight group of collaborators. Tyler, The Creator and Lil Wayne were the only two credited on the tracklist while Summer Walker jumped on the “Best Friends” remix. For the most part, The Weeknd largely worked alongside electronic producers like Calvin Harris and Swedish House Mafia.
Unfortunately, fans were hoping that they’d see Ariana Grande and The Weeknd connect, once again. The two built a strong rapport over the years with records like “Love Me Harder” off of Ariana Grande’s debut album, My Everything. Fans immediately praised the chemistry but the next time they worked together would be six years later on Positions standout, “Off The Table.” The two don’t collaborate as much as fans hoped. Whenever they do link up, it’s certainly magic.
The Weeknd Revisits “Starboy” Era With Ariana Grande On “Die For You (Remix)”
Though Ariana Grande is busy working on WIcked!, she put in some time to come through for a new remix for a friend. This week, The Weeknd revisits Starboy with the official remix of “Die For You” alongside Ariana Grande. Two years after they joined forces on “Save Your Tears (Remix),” they’ve reunited to revisit the classic record off of the 2016 album.
Prior to its release, Grande hinted at an upcoming collab with The Weeknd in an Instagram video. She previewed her verse as she filmed herself recording for the remix. “Wrote and recorded a verse for my friend after a 14-hour day on set,” wrote Grande. “This certain exception had to be made…” Shortly after, The Weeknd reposted the clip before formally announcing the single a day later Peep the latest collaboration from Ariana Grande and The Weeknd above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.
Quotable Lyrics
You know what I’m thinkin’, see it in your eyes
You hate that you want me, hate it when you cry
It ain’t workin’ ’cause you’re perfect (Mm)
And I know you deserve it
I can’t walk away
LaMelo Ball’s Reckless Driving Elicits Concern From Fans
LaMelo Ball is one of the best young players in the entire NBA right now. Ever since he came into the league, he has been exciting to watch. Overall, he is a player who could certainly make the Charlotte Hornets a top-tier team. However, the roster around him needs to get infinitely better. Moreover, Melo has to mature just a bit before he truly becomes a great player. It’s clear that the Hornets are a team that needs work, but that is just par for the course when you have a young core.
When you are a young player like LaMelo, you are definitely going to make a few mistakes along the way. This doesn’t just apply to the basketball court. When you are young and rich, sometimes, being reckless is second nature. Overall, you feel as though you are on top of the world and invincible. Consequently, you do things that you probably shouldn’t be doing. For LaMelo, his current vice seems to be driving as if the rules of the road do not apply to him.
LaMelo Running Lights
In the video up above, you can see numerous clips of LaMelo ripping out of the Hornets’ parking lot. Every single time he leaves the arena, he cuts off oncoming traffic before running the red light. Although he didn’t hit anyone in these clips, he certainly came close to doing so. Moreover, by running these lights and driving so fast, he is a danger to both drivers and pedestrians. In the Twitter reactions below, you can see that people were not happy with Melo, and are hoping for him to be better.
“If you ever want to know why driving is so dangerous in the US, all you have to do is watch a video of the craziest illegal driving you’ve ever seen, and there will always be at least 1 commenter defending it,” one person wrote. “Dumb ass. And uptown Charlotte is already dangerous as is with the stupid North Carolina drivers smh,” said another. Hopefully, LaMelo uses these comments as a wake-up call of sorts. Let us know what you think about all of this, down below.

James Harden & Dillon Brooks Get Heated: Watch
James Harden has been having an amazing resurgence this year. After regressing a bit last year due to injury, Harden has been back in the driver’s seat. Overall, the Philadelphia 76ers are settling into the top half of the Eastern Conference standings. Although they had a poor start, they are now considered to be the third-best team in the Conference. The Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics are above them, but once the playoffs come around, you never know what can happen.
One team that is going in the opposite direction in terms of momentum is the Memphis Grizzlies. Over their last few games, the Grizzlies have been awful. In fact, some have pointed at the Shannon Sharpe incident as a turning point for the team. Guys like Dillon Brooks have been called out for being pests on the court, and there is no doubt he is hated. On Thursday night, Dillon and Harden hit a collision course as the Grizzlies and Sixers duked it out in Philly.

Harden and Dillon Brooks get chippy

In the clip up above, you can see that things got chippy between these two players. The incident between the two occurred in just the first quarter, less than four minutes into the game. Furthermore, it seems like the two bumped chests and once the whistle blew, they exchanged words. Harden and Brooks were right in each other’s faces, and their teammates had to come to break it up. Both of these teams have been in their fair share of brawls over the years. However, this time around, they let cooler heads prevail.
Eventually, the Sixers went on to win the game thanks to Harden’s 31 points. As for Brooks, he had about 20 points less than Harden, which shows you who won the battle. Overall, the Grizzlies are a team on the decline, while the Sixers continue their ascent. With the playoffs just about a month and a half away, it will be interesting to see how things shape up. No matter what, it is clear we are in for a fantastic postseason. Stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from around the sports world.

LeBron James Reveals What He Thinks Of Bronny’s Game
LeBron James is one of the best players in the NBA right now, and as the season comes to a close, the Lakers will need him to be legendary. The Lakers are still 13th in the Western Conference and are just a game away from being in the play-in. Overall, it is going to be a tough fight, but with LeBron at the helm, it should be a lot easier. In fact, the entire roster is much better than it was two weeks ago. A prime example of this is how the Lakers beat the Warriors last night even though James only had 13 points.
Although James has a lot to worry about in terms of the Lakers, he has also been mentoring his son Bronny. As of right now, Bronny is trying to decide where he will go to college. Furthermore, he has been projected to be a top-10 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. This is tremendous pressure for a teenager, however, he seems to be handling it exceptionally well. James is certainly impressed with how his son is handling things, and he expressed as such last night after the win against the Warriors.
LeBron Praises Bronny
“Bronny plays the game the right way every single night, if he wanted to he could shoot 20 shots a game and average 30 but its not about that, Bryce side he had the growth spurt and now his game catching up with the growth,” James said. Overall, LeBron is very clearly proud of his sons. He certainly should be feeling that way considering everything that they have been able to accomplish. LeBron’s goal has always been to share the court with Bronny, and at this rate, he will be able to accomplish that.
The next few weeks should be interesting for the James family. Once Bronny makes his decision, then the whole basketball world will erupt. Meanwhile, the Lakers are trying to prove themselves. Needless to say, there are some great storylines to follow, moving forward. That said, stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest news and updates. Additionally, let us know what you think of Bronny’s game, in the comments below.
