Ice Spice’s Looks Mocked By The 1975 Singer Matt Healy, Yungblud Defends Her

by

A podcast episode that arrived earlier this month is gaining traction online as people are calling out The 1975 singer Matt Healy. He recently appeared on The Adam Friedland Show podcast, and during the chat, Healy brought up Ice Spice. He claimed he DMed the Bronx rapper before he and the hosts began mocking Ice’s looks. “She’s like an Inuit Spice Girl,” someone said as they all laughed. “This cubby Chinese lady. ‘Yeah, I rap and [make] music.’ Do Inuits talk like that?” Then, the group began making fun of Inuit, Hawaiian, and Chinese accents.

Healy added, “Yeah, that’s what Ice Spice is like.” Then, the group described Spice as an “attractive woman who released one song.” One of the hosts asked Healy, “So, you slide in her DMs. What’d you ask her, ‘Are you a f*ckin’ Eskimo?’” The comments faced minimal backlash when the episode was first released, but Yungblud made his grievances known.

Not long after the podcast episode aired, Yungblud fired off a tweet. “Love listening to three privileged white dudes sit around and objectify a young black female artist who’s blowing up,” he wrote. “Welcome to your 30’s i guess.” Healy took issue with Yungblud’s response and, in turn, uploaded a video mocking the singer. This isn’t Healy’s first controversial run-in; weeks ago, he was accused of giving the Nazi salute during one of his performances. Fans questioned if he was anti-Semitic or doing it as satire.

Meanwhile, reactions to Healy’s remarks about Ice Spice have recently gained steam on social media. People have questioned why he didn’t face more criticism. Healy seems unapologetic over his remarks, which isn’t surprising considering his previous scandals that have permeated the Alternative scene. However, since his comments have gone viral, people have educated him on Ice Spice’s heritage.

Ice Spice Shared Her Background

In November, Ice was tweeting away with fans as several began questioning her ethnic background. To end the discussion, she wrote, “I’m Nigerian, but IDK which tribe. Maybe u right!” she said to someone who claimed she looked Igbo. “Dominican too, Chill sisters.” Check out Matt Healy and the podcast hosts speaking about Ice Spice above around the 19:45 mark.

Tristan Thompson Provides Sobering Update On Lonzo Ball’s Injury

by

If you are a Chicago Bulls fan, then you are certainly worried about the health of none other than Lonzo Ball. Ball is someone who was a huge contributor to the team last year. Overall, the Bulls were at the top of the Eastern Conference standings, and they were looking like true contenders. However, Lonzo eventually went down with a knee injury, and it became a massive issue for the Bulls. They immediately regressed, all while Ball began a rehab process that has turned into a complete disaster.

Months after his first surgery, it was revealed that Lonzo was still feeling pretty awful. According to reports, the point guard was not getting better at a rate that made sense. Consequently, the team opted to give Lonzo yet another surgery. However, this didn’t help either. Ball still can’t run or jump, and the team has shut him down for the remainder of the season. It’s a sobering development that is hard to fathom. Overall, Lonzo’s condition remains a mystery, and it seems like even the doctors themselves are confused.

Critical Lonzo Update

According to reporter Daniel Greenberg, Tristan Thompson had an update about Ball on ESPN. Essentially, Thompson spoke with Lonzo’s agent and got a very interesting response. In his report, Thompson revealed that Ball has gone all across the country to speak with doctors. Pretty well every single doctor has been stunned by his condition. They even say it is a “unique injury that they have never seen before.” This is very scary stuff for both Lonzo and the Bulls organization. At this point, there is no telling if and when he will come back. It’s unfortunate, and it’s hard not to feel empathy for Lonzo.

Typically, injuries are things that doctors have seen before. If a guy tears his ACL or tears his Achilles, it becomes clear what needs to be done. For Ball, however, there is no telling what the cure for him might be. Hopefully, he is able to figure it out soon. This is a developing story, so stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the NBA world.

While rap fans are no strangers to their favorite artists’ lyrics finding their way onto various newscasts — hello, Ari Melber — a new contender has appeared to quote a rap fave during the news.

Adam Krueger, the chief meteorologist at CW39 Houston, snuck an Eminem bar or two into one of his recent reports after being challenged to do so by fans on TikTok. “One last dry day, but guess who’s back, back again? Rain is back, tell a friend,” he said in one, referencing the Detroit rap star’s 2002 hit “Without Me.” He also threw in a line from “The Real Slim Shady,” saying, “You’re probably thinking, ‘Oh wait, no wait – you’re kidding. He didn’t just say what I think he did, did he?’”

Meanwhile, Eminem has popped up in all kinds of random places lately, although he’s still as reclusive as ever. David Guetta used AI to add an “Eminem” verse to a song, while Jonah Hill name-dropped the rapper among his top five in a deleted scene from You People.
