Cardi B is no stranger to luxury and even less of a stranger to showing off those luxury things online. Today it was a hot pink piano that feels straight out of the Barbie movie. The bright pink wasn’t the only notable part of the whole ensemble though. It also featured a stool that was a lighter more pastel pink for playing. But perhaps the best part of the shimmering all-bronze interior which is visible through the see-through outer frame. As you’d expect fans were impressed by the instrument and gushed over it in the comments. Many dug up their favorite Cardi B reaction gifs to post underneath the video.
The piano isn’t the only thing Cardi has been celebrating on Instagram recently. Her daughter Kulture recently graduated preschool and Cardi was her biggest fan. She posted some adorable pics of her daughter accompanied by the caption “My baby moving on up.” One of the pictures sports a certificate declaring Kulture as the best dancer in her class, which obviously runs in the family.
My piano is fckin SICKENING. Custom made for ME.

Musically Cardi has been quiet for much of the year. While she’s found various ways to tease fans with the possibility of her second album coming soon, so far nothing has materialized. She hasn’t been entirely silent though. A few weeks ago she hopped on a remix of Latto’s track “Put It On Da Floor” which is appropriately titled “Put It On Da Floor Again.” The song went on to have a top 20 debut on the Hot 100 the very next week.
Cardi B has also been embroiled in one of the strangest recent celebrity dramas. She found herself in a Twitter beef with stepson of one of the billionaires on the recent Oceangate submersible which tragically never resurfaced. Their back and forth on Twitter captivated fans if for no reason other than how strange it was. What do you think of Cardi B’s pink and bronze piano? Let us know in the comment section below.

There was a time it seemed that Atlanta rappers Gunna and Lil Baby were inseparable. From crafting their joint album, Drip Harder, in 2018, to appearing on each others’ performances, projects, and tours throughout the years since, they’ve been thought of as an unofficial tandem by hip-hop heads since their parallel breakouts in 2017. They were even rumored to be working with Future and Young Thug on a spiritual sequel to Drip Harder and Super Slimey, although nothing was ever solidified.
But things may have changed recently, thanks to the YSL racketeering case and Gunna’s Alford plea. In a new snippet that’s gone viral on Twitter, Lil Baby makes mention of “n****s taking pleas” and posits “slime ain’t happy” — with “slime” being a potential reference to Young Thug, who helped Baby get his start in the music business. Since Baby was never actually part of YSL, he can remain in contact with Thug, while Gunna cannot.
“N*gg*s taking pleas I know that slime ain’t happy.” – Lil Baby in a new snippet.

This has led to speculation online that Gunna really is persona non grata among his former rap friends as a result of his recently acquired “snitch” reputation. Of course, rapper’s have reeled off lines about “rats,” “snitches,” and “telling” in raps since time immemorial — even Thug’s new album has a few, and fans have been wondering about his relationship to his former protege ever since.
Only Lil Baby can say what his feelings on Gunna really are, but one thing’s clear: Hip-hop’s obsession with adhering to “street code” — whether it applies or not — isn’t helping anybody.

Rose Namajunas helped define the inclusion of women in the UFC. An appearance on Season 20 of The Ultimate Fighter saw Namajunas make the move from Invicta to the UFC. While she lost to Carla Esparza in the inaugural women’s strawweight title fight, she more than earned her spot in the promotion.
Between 2015 and 2022, the Milwaukee-born fighter remained one of the division’s stalwarts, taking the title for herself with a TKO of Joanna Jędrzejczyk at UFC 217. However, a pattern began to emerge. Numajunas would win the title, defend it, then lose it on the second defense.
After losing the title to Esparza at UFC 274 in May 2022, Namajunas decided it was time for a change. She declared her intention to move up to flyweight and is now set to make her division debut against Manon Fiorot this September.

First reported by MMA Junkie, Namajunas will face French fighter Manon Fiorot at UFC Fight Night Paris on September 2. Fiorot has reportedly wanted the Namajunas for some time but is only now getting the chance. However, despite her pedigree, it’s safe to say that Namajunas is throwing herself into the fire with this debut.
Fiorot is one of the UFC’s fastest-rising fighters. She joined the promotion from UAE Warriors in 2021, scoring a TKO over Victoria Leonardo at Chiesa vs. Magny. She is 5-0 under the UFC banner, most recently taking down Katlyn Chookagian via unanimous decision at UFC 280 in October 2022. However, she’s been sidelined ever since by knee surgery.
There is a lot on the line with this fight. For Namajunas, a win would validate her division move and show that she is a force to be reckoned with across two divisions. Meanwhile, victory for Fiorot takes her another step closer to a title challenge. While it would need to wait until the resolution of a potential Grasso-Schevchenko trilogy, Fiorot has done nothing but prove herself since joining the UFC.

Namajunas vs. Fiorot is not the only banger confirmed for UFC Paris. The card will be headlined by a showdown between Ciryl Gane and Sergey Spivak. It’s Gane’s second time headlining a Fight Night in Paris. The French fighter defeated Tai Tuivasa in 2022.
It’s a chance to bounce back for Gane, who has lost two of his last three fights. Most recently, he was dropped in the first round by Jon Jones. who claimed the heavyweight belt in his division debut. The 16-3 Spivak enters the fight on the back of three consecutive wins. The 28-year-old Moldovan fighter is still working his way toward being in title fight contention. He holds a 7-3 record since joining the UFC in 2019.
Three other fights have so far been announced for the card. Volkan Oezdemir (18-7) faces Azamat Murzakanov (13-0) in the men’s light heavyweight division. Meanwhile, there are two women’s bantamweight fights. Zarah Fairn Dos Santos (6-5) takes on Hailey Cowan (7-3). Additionally, Joselyne Edwards (13-4) fights Nora Cornolle (6-1).

Despite his continued house arrest, NBA YoungBoy continues to get chances to see his family. Not only did the court allow for him to have more visitors, but this is the second time in just three days that he’s had some quality family time. Moreover, the Baton Rouge rapper recently received a visit from his mother, and pictures of the meet-up surfaced online. Despite his limitations, YB continues to be as prolific as ever when it comes to music drops, and is finding time to spend with loved ones. In addition, this comes almost a month after his mother said that he is one of her “best kids.”
“No, he’s really one of my best children,” she said of YoungBoy. “Because he cares about other people. Ever since he been little, he do stuff for his sisters and brothers. When he first got his little money– his sister was 16, he was like 14– he bought her a car… bought her a little Chrysler… but it was about $3,000 or $4,000. He always took care of his sister and his little brother. He always do for his friends. If he go to the store, he gon’ bring them back something, like candy. He help the neighbors… Like all the older people. To this day, all the older people, they remember him.”

Meanwhile, the 23-year-old is as busy with his music as ever, dropping three projects so far in 2023 alone. While many fans thought that he would wrap things up with that, it seems like his streak this year isn’t over just yet. Furthermore, YoungBoy just dropped a new track and music video, “I Need To Know.” For fans of his style and more braggadocious content and delivery, this might be an instant add to the playlist. If not… well, you have like 70 other tracks to choose from this year.
Unfortunately, not everything has been peaches and cream when it comes to his family life. Recently, the Richest Opp rhymer responded to Nicolette Gotti and his baby mama Yaya Mayweather’s beef, saying that he hates the latter. Hopefully things don’t keep getting uglier with his extended family. Regardless, for more news and the latest updates on NBA YoungBoy, check back in with HNHH.

Moriah Mills recently shared a clip in which she appears to be getting a new face tattoo. The tattoo says “Zion,” a reference to New Orleans Pelicans player and alleged ex of Mills, Zion Williamson. Mills has kept up consistent chatter about Williamson lately, even going so far as to threaten him with sex tapes. Her Twitter account has recently been suspended amid the ordeal.
Mills accused Williamson of cheating on her shortly after he announced that he was having a child with another woman. She continued to unleash on the NBA player, accusing him of being a sex addict, a liar, a cheater, and much more. The situation even recently sparked a petition to “Stop Moriah Mills Because It’s Been DAYS.” The OnlyFans creator previously Tweeted claiming that Williamson “betrayed” her. She later described herself as “Heartbroken,” wondering “when the pain will end.” “[You’re] my everything,” she told Williamson. It doesn’t seem like she’ll be getting over Williamson anytime soon, judging by her new ink.

The clip of Mills getting tattooed has social media users going wild in the comments section. Many are claiming the former pornstar may be struggling with mental illness, while others think she’s simply looking for clout. Some commenters also think that the tattoo may be fake, and just an attempt by Mills to get some attention.
Earlier this week, Mills claimed that things between her and Williamson are “good” amid the ongoing drama. She wrote in the live chat of The Stephen A. Smith Show on YouTube, telling users not to “believe the narratives.” Despite her claims, the general consensus is that things are, in fact, not good. Many believe that she took things way too far when she threatened to release Williamson’s sex tapes. Just days ago, she also advised the Pelicans to “trade [Williamson] now,” claiming that he “doesn’t deserve to be in New Orleans.” She also recently told the player she’ll be taking him to court for “all the damages [he has] caused [her] life.”

Thankfully for Coi Leray, being the daughter of a celebrity taught her plenty about life in the spotlight. She and Benzino haven’t always seen eye to eye, but the Boston native’s resilient attitude definitely comes from him. It’s only been a few years since her career first took off. Already she’s given us two LPs, the second of which hit DSPs today (June 23). Leray has been undeniably excited to share her work with the world. However, that doesn’t mean she didn’t have time to clap back at trolls on Twitter earlier this week.
Upon seeing a post declaring her 2021 XXL Freshman cypher as “the worst ever,” the “Blick Blick” hitmaker made it clear that she’s unbothered by the comments. “And the only one who Top 10 Global in the world right now with three songs on the Hot 100,” Leray cooly wrote. “This didn’t determine my journey, I always knew I was destined for greatness. Now look at me, swimming in hits, baby,” she continued.

From there, the black-haired beauty reminded some users to worry less about what others have to say about them. As for her? “Clearly IDGAF ,” Coi finished her rant, earning a few thousand likes. As HipHopDX notes, she recently spoke with Ebro Darden on Apple Music about the polarizing cypher, admitting that freestyling isn’t her top strength. “I sit down, I started writing on pen and paper first of course, and then elevated to my phone and then on [my] laptop, just writing on the notes. But if I do freestyling, the most freestyle I’ll do is melody passes where I’m not even thinking,” she shared.
Elsewhere in the news, Coi Leray made a splash during fashion week earlier this month when she showed up to the Saint Laurent runway without a bra under her sheer black jumpsuit. She’s been known to turn heads with her outfits in the past, but this was arguably one of her raciest looks to date.

Recently, authorities sentenced Jacksonville, Florida rapper Spinabenz to six months in jail. However, now the other side of law enforcement faces some accusations after a Duval County jail guard apparently left him hospitalized after a beating during the first two weeks of his stint behind bars. Moreover, he had previously been cleared of gun possession charges back in October, but continues to struggle with other legal issues. In this case, the rapper took to Instagram to share his testimony, alleging that he sustained significant neck and back injuries. Not only that, but he apparently is now in a neck brace, and he aims to hold Sergeant Rivera of the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office accountable.
“I was beaten in Duval County PTDF yesterday unwarranted & unprovoked by JSO Sargent Riviera,” Spinabenz claimed. “Force was so excessive I had to be taken to the hospital. X-rays and MRI revealed I have both neck and back injuries. I am in a neck brace as a result of my injuries. They placed me in administrative confinement and turned off my access to tablets so no one can see me!!!”

In said post’s caption, his management elaborated on what they seek after this incident. “Like and repost!!!” the caption began. “I am going to hold @jaxsheriff accountable for what your Sargent did to my love one. You can not violate his civil nor constitutional rights! I am asking that all tornadoes to tap in with all of ur media outlets and make sure they are aware of JSO latest shenanigans. ‘Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.’ MLK Let’s go!!! Da Management.” in addition, Spinabenz’s lawyer David Bigney spoke to First Coast News concerning his client’s alleged experience.
“I know what I’ve been told,” Bigney remarked, clarifying that he also spoke with the MC’s family about the situation. “He has some neck and back injuries… he was accosted by one of the guards… the guard was asked to leave (work) early. What I’ve done is requested public records and surveillance videos. I’m looking to get to the bottom of this. Are there other complaints against this officer? Has he done this before? Is he safe at this facility?” Meanwhile, the JSO said that they are conducting an investigation, the latest in the artist’s legal troubles.
