Kanye West Obtains New Legal Team For $7 Million Lawsuit

by

Kanye West is no stranger to lawsuits. After being canceled by his previous legal team for his antisemitic comments, Ye has finally obtained new representation that will defend him in his current crisis. According to RadarOnline, attorney Gregory K. Nelson will be fighting for the 45-year-old’s current $7 million lawsuit. Phantom Labs, the production company that had put on several of Ye’s events, is suing the rapper for outstanding invoices.

From June 2021 to March 2022, Phantom Labs worked with the “Bound 2” singer on his Sunday Service events, the Free Larry Hover show with Drake, and the Donda 2 listening party. Most recently, the company was starting work for Ye’s Coachella performance this year before it was canceled. While the controversial artist initially paid the invoices on time, the charges quickly piled up. In total, Phantom Labs is seeking $6 million in unpaid dues, with an additional $1.1 million for their work for the Coachella set.

Ye, however, remains that the production company’s accusations are incorrect. The news outlet reports that he claims to not owe the company as they have “failed to perform the services.” To escape the charges, Ye believes the case should be closed, as Phantom Labs “performed so poorly that any further payment would be unreasonable and unfair.” With the large-scale projects created by the team remaining unpaid, Attorney Nelson and his team will be defending their client in court. “I, Gregory K. Nelson, of Weeks Nelson, hereby enter my appearance as counsel for Defendants YE, f/k/a Kanye Omari West, Very Good Touring, Inc., Yeezy Apparel LLC and Yeezy LLC in this matter,” the filing stated.

Nina D. Boyajian, who previously represented Ye, noted an additional reason for dropping him as a client. She claims that she has been “unable to meaningfully communicate with [West] in order to represent them in this matter.” This is not the only case in which the father-of-four has received backlash from his legal representation. Ye’s recent lawsuit with an Australian burger shop over the use of the name “College Dropout” faced a similar fate. After going M.I.A., Boyajian’s team seemingly had enough. While they couldn’t get in contact with him, the law firm took to newspapers to publically denounce the rapper. To keep up with all things hip-hop, be sure to check out HNHH.

Brandon Miller Drops 41 Points After Being Implicated In Murder Case

by

Brandon Miller is currently being accused of something serious right now. For those who don’t know who Miller is, he is the star player for the Alabama Crimson Tide basketball team. Overall, Alabama is ranked second in the nation, and Miller is their leading scorer. However, the team has been embroiled in controversy. This is because one of their other players, Darius Miles, was charged with capital murder. According to reports, he allegedly supplied a gun to Michael Lynn Davis, who shot and killed Jamea Harris. This all happened close to the Alabama campus.

Although Alabama has expelled Miles, they are still dealing with the fallout from the case. Earlier this week, we reported that a witness implicated Miller in the shooting. According to detective Branden Culpepper, Miller allegedly gave the gun to Miles, who then gave it to Davis. For now, however, Miller cannot be charged with anything and there is no telling if he will be. That said, Alabama is letting him play, and last night, he broke through with a massive game against South Carolina.

Brandon Miller Game-Winner

Miller grabbed a total of 41 points and also added 8 rebounds. Furthermore, he was able to get the game-winning basket in overtime. Overall, it was an amazing game for Miller, who was met with vitriol from fans in South Carolina. Of course, they were well aware of everything that Miller was being accused of. This led to numerous “lock him up” chants throughout the match. Clearly, none of this fazed Miller who continued to play his game. Now, it seems like Miller is considered to be one of the best players in college basketball, and it will be interesting to see how this all develops further.

The Miles murder case definitely complicates things for the Crimson Tide. There is all sorts of negative attention surrounding Miller and the team, although there is no telling if the legal ramifications will ever come. For now, the team will just have to operate as normal until more details come to light. This is a developing story, so stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

Quavo Addresses The Migos Future On His New Single “Greatness”

by

Last year, it felt as though the Migos were officially done. The unfortunate break-up between hip-hop’s biggest trio came as Quavo and Takeoff embarked on their journey as a duo as Unc and Phew. When they dropped “Hotel Lobby,” it seemed like a strong indication that Culture III was the final bow from Quavo, Takeoff, and Offset together. Over the months that followed, the tension between Quavo and Offset became evident and the future of the Migos was uncertain.

Following Takeoff’s death in November, Quavo and Offset stated that they would be taking a step back to focus on family. They didn’t confirm or deny whether they were on better terms but fans hoped that was the case. Unfortunately, during the Grammys, Quavo and Offset allegedly got into an altercation when the latter tried to join the former onstage during his tribute to Take. Since then, neither has addressed the rumored altercation.

Quavo: Don’t Ask ‘Bout The Group, He Gone, We Gone

It seems as though there won’t be any sort of Migos reunion in the near future between Quavo and Offset. As fans continued to inquire about the future of the two rappers in keeping the Migos alive, Quavo explained on his new song “Greatness” that there is no group without Takeoff. “Came in, swept the game like a storm with the motherfuckin’ flow, n***a, Take’ did that,” he raps. “So don’t ask about the group, he gone, we gone, young n***a, it can’t come back.”

Shortly after that couplet, fans believed that he took a shot at Offset when he rapped, “I can’t kick it with a fake/ And I won’t sleep with the snakes.” Though he didn’t mention names, Quavo previously suggested that there was some level of disloyalty between ‘Set and Quavo, which prevented them from rectifying their relationship. Despite the tension, he later acknowledges the impact that they had on the world. “Never forget that the Migos amazin’/ Look at the ice and the knots in my pants, you know that them young n***as made it,” Quavo raps on the song. In the outro, he shouts out the Migos as “the greatest group in the world.” Check out the video for “Greatness” above. 

Air Jordan 1 High OG “Celadon” Coming This Year: Details

by

One of the best sneakers ever created is the Air Jordan 1 High OG. Overall, this is just one of those silhouettes that you cannot go wrong with. Jumpman is always doing big things with this sneaker, and it is hard to deny its impact. Although some might be tired of the silhouette, there is no doubt that this shoe will continue to have an impact on culture. As soon as Michael Jordan wore this sneaker, it became famous. Almost 40 years later, very little has changed, which speaks to the sneaker’s longevity.

Having said all of this, it should be a given that the sneaker will be dropping in a ton of new colorways throughout 2023. Every single Jumpman silhouette seems to be doing big numbers. Of course, the Air Jordan 1 High OG is no different in that regard. Sneakerheads are always excited to see what will drop next, and for the most part, the new colorways have been extremely unique. Furthermore, there have been a ton of new teasers, including the one below. As you will see, this is a very unique color scheme that could be polarizing.

Air Jordan 1 High OG “Celadon”

This teaser comes to us from sneakerfiles.com. The shoe is simply called “Celadon” which is a motif we definitely have not seen a lot of over the years. Either way, the photoshop rendering is quite jarring as we get a colorway that is hard to put your finger on. Firstly, the entire upper is covered in shiny green leather material. Secondly, the cuff part of the shoe is bronze, while the Wings logo is orange. Lastly, we get what appears to be a sail midsole that has that aged look Jumpman is going for these days.

Right away, it is clear that this is a colorway that will not be for everyone. This is one of those shoes that is going to be polarizing, and we cannot wait to see the in-hand images. As for the release date, you will likely have to wait until the Holiday season for these. Let us know what you think, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from around the sneaker world.

Slim Jxmmi’s Ex Follows Up On Sukihana Drama

by

Slim Jxmmi’s ex Kee had some more words for him and his apparent new flame Sukihana after Kee accused the Rae Sremmurd member of abuse. Moreover, she brought up her history with Jxmmi after pictures of him and Sukihana together went viral. “Y’all keep sending me this,” Kee wrote on her IG Story. “They posted it for a reason. this is the most attention he’s gotten since SremmLife 2 and knocking my teeth back. He’s blocked for a reason. people do not change. had to learn to stop feeling bad and making excuses for how he treats me. I love myself, my son and my PH balance more.”

Furthermore, she clarified that she hopes things got better for the Mississippi MC. “I wish them the best though,” Kee expressed. this is the attention he needs for Sremm4 [red heart emoji] y’all go get that in April lol.” However, she made similar accusations last year where she was less conciliatory. “This is my truth,” she stated, along with mentioning Jxmmi’s drug abuse as well. “Aaquil Brown for years has been emotionally, physically, and mentally abusive to me.” While the “No Type” rapper hasn’t responded to Kee, authorities recently dropped a battery charge against him.

Slim Jxmmi’s Ex Responds To The Drama

Meanwhile, Kee returned to Instagram with some comments about Slim’s “type” in relation to rapper Sukihana. “Girl you don’t know what his type is he said he ain’t got one,” she wrote on her IG Story. “Stop thinking these [ninja emoji] don’t love a lil chocolate they do!” she added later. In a lengthier message, she went at fake love and the true nature of the relationship. “Lmao, he was just on my story trying to play family three weeks ago. now why wouldn’t my friends, family and followers send me that [laughing emoji, in reference to the new couple’s picture together]. don’t be delusional. and I don’t follow you my love [addressing Sukihana]. he told me months ago y’all are friends and you’re not his type. and it’s all fun. so I don’t know why I’m even taking this serious lord.”

However, her comments apparently caught some flack, and she clarified things with another IG Story post. “Lord y’all are so offended in my DMs mad about what I said about Aaquil [Jxmmi] telling me that girl is not his type. I was not coming at her IN NO WAY and either was he. lmfao I’m relaying what he said to me and I was responding to her. Y’all have to relax and stop making everything about color. I’m black too. he loves darkskin women and so do I. she’s thick. he weighs 100 pounds.. that’s it.” Check out more story posts below and return to HNHH for the latest on Slim Jxmmi and Sukihana’s drama.

Quavo Drops Solo Song “Greatness,” Fans React To Migos Acknowledgement

by

While Migos has seemingly dismantled after the death of Takeoff, Quavo is ready to dive into a new chapter. His latest work “Greatness” dropped today (February 23rd), and he hasn’t forgotten his roots in the trio. “Never forget that the Migos amazin’,” the 31-year-old raps. Despite shouting out his former group, Quavo makes it clear in his new track that his future is looking solo. He explains within his first verse, “so don’t ask about the group, he gone, we gone, young n*gga, it can’t come back (damn).”

Overall, Quavo’s newest release is an upbeat anthem that further establishes him as an ambitious independent artist. The release follows alleged beef between Quavo and Offset, who most recently were reported to get into a physical altercation at the 65th Grammy Awards. Together, the duo was to perform a tribute to Takeoff, the third Migos member who tragically was killed last November. However, Quavo, who is the late-rappers uncle, supposedly instigated the fight over the performance of “Without You.” The song was created as a personal tribute to his nephew and with the ongoing fights between the rappers, it’s likely that Quavo wanted the emotional moment to be his own.

Quavo Raps That Migos “Can’t Come Back”

While fans were disappointed in the death of Migos, “Greatness” has been applauded as a big next step for Quavo. Twitter users took to the platform to commemorate the group’s 14-year run. “Finna hear the best music he ever made after that sacrifice,” one user tweeted.

But, not all fans are happy with how events have unfolded. In fact, many are upset over the “selfish” route Quavo has taken to music. One user wrote, “of course Migos won’t ever be the same but Quavo is dragging it. He is still beefing with offset and it’s other shit to worry about.” Another commented his disappointed, tweeting “if you told me in 2013 that 10 years later takeoff would be dead and quavo and offset would hate each other i prolly woulda tried to beat yo ass.” You can check out more Twitter reactions down below. As always, keep watch on HNHH for the latest news on your favorite hip hop artists.

Air Jordan 2 “Mauve” To Drop In 2023: First Look

by

One of the most surprising developments in the sneaker world over the past two years has been the rise of the Air Jordan 2. As soon as this sneaker celebrated its 35th anniversary, it felt like Jordan Brand was giving it more attention. Overall, this is a shoe that had largely been forgotten. Although it is hard to understand why, it is clear that this is, indeed, a great silhouette. Unfortunately, the shoe was just sandwiched between two icons in the Jordan 1 and the Jordan 3.

Now, this sneaker is getting all sorts of amazing colorways. Of course, this is great news for sneakerheads. They now have way more options for this shoe than they have ever had in the past. Moreover, it seems like Jumpman has no plans to slow down. Throughout the last few weeks, we have received numerous teasers for both the Air Jordan 2 OG, and the Air Jordan 2 Low. These teasers have been quite unique, and as it turns out, we have yet another report. This time, from the likes of @zsneakerheadz and @sneakerfiles.

“Mauve” Air Jordan 2

In the Instagram post above, you can find a photoshop rendering of what this model is supposed to look like. Overall, it is a very interesting colorway that is going to be dubbed “Mauve.” Moreover, it should be noted that this is going to be a women’s exclusive. Firstly, the sneaker opens up with a black leather upper. Secondly, we get some purple outlines throughout the sides. Lastly, purple also appears on the back heel. This is then followed up with an aged midsole that looks very nice. It is a nice colorway that can definitely be worn during every single season.

Quavo Shines Bright On New Single “Greatness”

by

Quavo’s slowly returned to the fold since the unfortunate events that transpired in November 2022. Following the death of Takeoff, Quavo remained under the radar for the remainder of the year with the exception of his speech at his nephew’s funeral. However, his post-Infinity Links plans have begun to materialize when he released a tribute single to Takeoff, “WITHOUT YOU,” which he later performed at the Grammys as part of the In Memoriam segment.

Still, fans have wondered what the following plans were for Quavo, especially since the future of the remaining members of the Migos seemed uncertain. Prior to the release of Only Built For Infinity Links, Quavo confirmed that he was cooking up a solo album, though he hasn’t provided a concrete plan for its release. But, between the release of “WITHOUT YOU,” and his public outings, it seems like we could expect something for him soon.

Quavo Addresses Migos Future & Takeoff Death On “Greatness”

Quavo captured his sorrows on “WITHOUT YOU” but now showcases his resilience in his new single, “Greatness.” On Wednesday night, the Atlanta rapper hit the ‘Gram with a snippet of his latest single before unloading the song and visuals in its entirety. Quavo doesn’t disappoint on this one, sliding through with bars while his flows and ad-libs are reminiscent of early Migos cuts.

The record is an opportunity to get a few things off his chest. While Quavo pays his respect to Takeoff, he reflects on the importance of family and the struggles that he went through to be able to provide for his family. Elsewhere in the single, he addresses the future of the Migos following Takeoff’s passing and shows love to the Quality Control family. Check the single above.

Quotable Lyrics
You remember them MCM backpacks? We was runnin’ around with them racks 
No Wock’, no Wock’, I ain’t never took Wock’ to Poland, I was drinking that Act’ 
Came in, swept the game like a storm with the motherfuckin’ flow, n***a, Take’ did that 
So don’t ask about the group, he gone, we gone, young n***a, it can’t come back 

R. Kelly To Be Sentenced Today In Chicago Case

by

R. Kelly will be sentenced in Chicago federal court later today on federal charges of child pornography and enticing a minor. Moreover, this marks the 56-year-old’s second sentence in the past year following his 30-year sentenced in New York. In that case, the court convicted him in June 2022 for racketeering and sex trafficking charges. In addition, the court also denied the singer’s legal team’s request for a new trial last week. With a minimum of a ten-year prison term looming over this next sentencing, many wonder how they will choose to make Kelly serve time.

Furthermore, prosecutors asked for a 25-year sentence to take effect after he finishes serving his 30 years. “Robert Kelly is a serial sexual predator who, over the course of many years, specifically targeted young girls and went to great lengths to conceal his abuse of Jane and other minor victims,” they expressed in a filing. “To this day, and even following the jury verdict against him, Kelly refuses to accept responsibility for his crimes.” Meanwhile, his defense maintained that he’s already serving a “de facto life sentence” and should serve new time while he completes his 30-year sentence. Still, Kelly will likely be in prison for the majority of his remaining life.

R. Kelly’s Uncertain Future Ahead Of Sentence

“In the unlikely event that Kelly was to survive his 30-year sentence, there is no reason to believe he would reoffend as a geriatric in his mid-80s,” his legal team stated. “The overwhelming majority of Kelly’s criminal conduct was committed a quarter century ago.” While both sides made compelling arguments for the R&B star, the judge will ultimately decide how he serves time. Moreover, his federal trial in Chicago revolved around five women’s testimonies that he abused them in the late 1990s. However, other prosecutors such as those in Cook County, Illinois dropped state sex-crime charges following his New York sentencing.

“I understand how hard it was for these victims to come forward and tell their stories. I applaud their courage and have the utmost respect for everyone who came forward,” Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx remarked. “While this may not be the result they were expecting, due to the sentences that Mr. Kelly is facing, we do feel that justice has been served.” Regardless of these developments, stick around on HNHH to see what will become of R. Kelly’s fate.
