Blueface Alleges That He’s Under House Arrest Because He Covered For Chrisean Rock

by

Blueface recently had some text messages that he allegedly sent Chrisean Rock leaked, and it makes his latest Instagram Story onslaught a bit harder to swallow. Moreover, he recently claimed that he’s only under house arrest because he took the fall for the “Baddies” star. For those unaware, authorities arrested him on accusations of robbery after an altercation occurred between him, Rock, and a female fan. Elsewhere on his social media page, the California rapper said that he actually has paperwork to back his claims up, posting an excerpt online. Considering his alleged feelings of regret over the relationship, his attacks on her seem conflicted at best and insincere at worst.

“I’m only on house arrest cuz I took all the charges for Rock,” Blueface posted. “Y you think their is no warrant for her arrest. Y would I let her stay in my house when I’m stuck in another state and I got my BM ready to drive me with the kids. Rock is out Jaidyn is in it’s that simple. The best female is gone start none personal. I said no I’ll take the deal an plead guilty cuz her name is all in the work.” Then, he posted a picture of alleged paperwork with the caption “I got real paperwork f**k what anybody talmbout.” “She just walking around socking people pregnant but I’m the bad guy.”

Blueface’s Recent Allegations About Chrisean Rock

To be fair, they both made mistakes during this incident. Still, it’s unfortunate to see this feud continue especially since things were allegedly quite conciliatory in the leaked texts. Another set of alleged leaked texts came from Blueface. “If you don’t know what to chose ima always tell you chose the money I love you have a goodnight,” Blueface allegedly wrote to Chrisean Rock. “You have enough money you have enough people to help you.”

Meanwhile, Chrisean herself is still reckoning with the state of her relationship, and a good visual metaphor is the multiple tattoos she has of her former flame. “Y’all keep asking about these tattoos,” she expressed on IG Live. “I mean, I’ve considered getting them removed, but I know I’m not doing it. I know me too well.” For the latest news and updates on Blueface and Chrisean Rock, log back into HNHH.

Logic Sells His Entire Music Catalog For Eight Figures

by

Influence Media Partners have bought the publishing rights to Logic’s entire musical catalog, according to a press release. The Grammy-nominated artist has eight studio albums and eight mixtapes under his belt from the last 15 years. The catalog totals 185 songs, and now Influence is in control of the publishing rights in exchange for an eight-figure payout. This is not new territory for Logic, as the rapper has previously announced potentially retiring from the music industry for various reasons. And while he hasn’t called it quits, this is a step he’s taking so his music continues to leave a legacy.

“It’s important to me that the positive messages of my music continue to reach new audiences,” Logic said when talking about the deal. “I’m excited to partner with Rene and the Influence Media Partners team to make a further impact through creativity.” A big proponent of positivity, Logic recently partnered with BetterHelp, the nonprofit organization, to help get Logic fans free therapy if they’re in need. He’s also about to go on tour for his eighth studio album, College Park, with Juicy J in tow as a special guest.

You might think you know how prolific Logic has been over the years. But in reading the list of songs he just sold, it really is eye-popping the number of certified bangers the rapper put out into the world. The catalog includes “1-800-273-8255,” his therapy-positive anthem with Alessia Cara and Khalid, which went multi-Platinum. There’s also “EVERYDAY” featuring Marshmello and “HOMICIDE” featuring Eminem. For the fans of his earlier stuff, the catalog has “Fade Away” and “Stainless” from 2015’s The Incredible True Story and “Gang Related” and “Alright” from 2014’s Under Pressure.

With a tour, a new collaboration with Better Help, and more verses swirling around in his head, Logic is far from done with putting out content. In the last few years, he’s released his first novel, a memoir about his childhood, and plenty of social media content for the fans to get hyped about. No matter which way he goes at this point, best believe we’ll be stoked for anything the rapper decides to create.

Nuggets, Mavericks, And Lakers All Pursuing Bruce Brown

by

Bruce Brown had a career year during the 2022-23 season. He appeared in 80 games and broke double-digits in points per game for the first time since being drafted in 2018. Furthermore, he was a key piece off the bench for the Nuggets during the playoffs, as they cruised to the NBA title. Brown had 11.5 points per game, 4.1 rebounds, and 3.4 assists during the regular season. The Nuggets represent the third team of Brown’s career. He was drafted by the Pistons, spent time in Brooklyn in the 2021-22 season before finding his way to Denver.

However, financial constraints in Denver meant that they were unable to pursue an extension with Brown before free agency, which begins on June 30. Meanwhile, Brown’s 2022-23 numbers have started to attract a number of big-name suitors once the signing period officially begins. As things stand, three teams are currently in the race for Brown.

Bruce Brown’s Free Agency Suitors Revealed

Brown’s first suitor is a return to the Denver Nuggets. On the one hand, it’s the place where Brown has found the most success in his career so far. However, the Nuggets would be about to offer him $7.8 million, which is about $5 million less than his perceived market value. Meanwhile, the Lakers are “increasingly confident” that they would be able to acquire Brown’s services. However, the Lakers would either need to cut players or lowball Brown to acquire his services.

That just leaves his newest suitor – Dallas. With Kyrie Irving’s future uncertain, the Mavericks have money to spend and a need for depth. Per Tim McMahon of ESPN, Brown is expected to meet with Dallas in the first days of free agency. While most Mavericks rumors are connecting them to bigs, Brown is definitely a cheaper option to better round out the roster. Where do you think Brown will land? Let us know in the comments.

REASON Floats On New Song “You Betta (Jesus Take The Wheel)”

by

TDE rapper REASON is back with a vengeance on his bouncy and charismatic new single, “You Betta (Jesus Take The Wheel).” Of course, this is far from the first notable release from the California MC this year, with Jay Rock hopping on the remix of his track “At It Again.” This time around, his newest musical offering takes things back to a more light-hearted and joyful tone with an optimistic hook and exciting background group vocals. Sure, it still talks about all the expected themes in a contemporary rap song, especially one that’s meant to hype listeners up for the summer season. Still, it’s the rapper’s lyrical cleverness, infectious delivery, and laidback flows that give the track its power.

Lyrically, the hook mentions a few things that REASON leaves up to faith, and therefore isn’t worried about: catching charges, having a Glock on his lap, and romantic pursuits. Even though the subject matter may seem darker, his melodic inflections and breezy cadence firmly root “You Betta” as a summertime banger. In addition, the verses themselves are decidedly more sensual, centered mostly around his lust for other women. However, there are still some throwaway lines about gossip, switching narratives, and his come-up in Los Angeles. As such, you don’t really know where the track goes next, but you fully lock into the sunny instrumental.

REASON’s “You Betta (Jesus Take The Wheel)” Music Video

Through a bass-heavy beat, and a fast tempo, the beat makes sure that you don’t lose the song’s playful energy. Overall, it’s an entertaining and occasionally anthemic cut that hopefully hints at this artist dropping something long-term soon. If you haven’t heard it, you can find it on your preferred streaming service and catch some standout bars below. As always, check back in with HNHH for the latest on REASON, and for more great hip-hop releases each week.

Quotable Lyrics
I just need a little energy, we try to take this s**t across the water
Eat your p***y on the balcony, my appetite go harder
I’m a dog, h*e, I beat the brakes off it
Know you stressed, all that pressure, let me take the weight off you

Indianapolis Cut Isaiah Rodgers Over Gambling Supension

by

Sources reported earlier this week that another round of NFL players were being handed suspensions for betting-related offenses. The biggest name on the list was believed to be the Colts’ starting right-side cornerback Isaiah Rodgers.

Rodgers was a sixth-round pick out of UMass in 2020, but quickly proved his skill and ability. He made the 2020 all-rookie team and quickly earned the starting role in Indy. However, earlier this month, Rodgers acknowledged the gambling accusations against him and admitted “full responsibility” for his actions on social media.

Furthermore, it was also reported that Rodgers had directly bet on Colts games. This led pundits to believe that his punishment would be especially severe. That assumption proved to be correct.

Rodgers Suspended Indefinitely, Cut By Colts

Rodgers, along with Colts defensive end Rashod Berry and free agent defensive tackle Demetrius Taylor, was suspended indefinitely by the NFL for violating the league’s gambling policy. Meanwhile, Titans offensive tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere was suspended for six games.

About an hour after the news broke, it was revealed that Rodgers and Berry had been waived by the team. 2022 undrafted free agent and all-rookie corner Dallis Flowers is now listed as RCB1. In a statement, Colts GM Chris Ballad explained the decision. “The integrity of the game is of the utmost importance. As an organization, we will continue to educate our players, coaches, and staff on the policies in place and the significant consequences that may occur with violations.”

Further details have since emerged about the nature of Rodgers’ betting. Per ESPN‘s David Purdum, Rodgers had been betting on Colts games. One particular bet of note was an over/under prop bet on rushing yards for a Colts running back.

Soccer Player Gets Eight-Month Ban For Gambling

The NFL is not the only league dealing with players gambling. The Football Association (FA), which oversees soccer in the United Kingdom, handed down an eight-month ban to Brentford striker Ivan Toney in May.

According to an FA investigation, Toney breached betting rules 262 times between February 2017 and January 2021. Furthermore, Toney admitted to 232 breaches. This included 13 bets across seven matches where Toney bet on his own team to lose. However, Toney did not play in any of the games in question.

Initially, the FA had wanted to hand down a 15-month ban to Toney. However, after Toney was diagnosed with a gambling addiction, the agreed-upon 11-month ban was reduced to eight. That means Toney, who led Brentford with 21 goals last season, will be out until mid-January. On June 12, the London club paid $27.7 million to acquire German striker Kevin Schade from SC Freiburg. Schade had joined Brentford on loan for the second half of the 2022-23 season.

Troy Ave Mocks Casanova’s 15-Year Prison Sentence

by

In a new Instagram post, Troy Ave makes light of Casanova’s recent 15-year prison sentence. The rapper will serve time for drug and gang-related charges. “I can’t wipe the motherf***ing smile off my face if I tried,” he says in the clip. He continues, also claiming “It’s Christmas in June!”

In the caption of the clip, the rapper also announced a giveaway of $188, the same number of months Casanova is to serve. “We giving a 188 dollar cash app for whoever can guess why AVE is in such a great mood,” he writes, “Best answer wins.” This wasn’t the first time Troy Ave celebrated someone’s prison sentence. Earlier this month, he also mocked Taxstone on Instagram with a similar giveaway. Taxstone was sentenced to 35 years for killing Troy Ave’s bodyguard, Ronald “Banga” McPhatter. McPhatter was shot, along with several others, at a T.I. concert back in 2016.

Troy Ave Says “It’s Christmas In June”

Troy Ave also previously accused Casanova of being a “snitch” in a lengthy Instagram post in 2021. “Caswell #Casanova Senior cooperated with the police and snitched on his ‘friend’ Classik about a murder investigation,” he alleged. He went on to say, “We outnumbered by these frauds. They talk tough but join gangs for protection, they Dick ride instead of standing on they own two.” He added, “They the users not the dealers! They talk about being rich off trappin but u can see they broke or have rented apartments & cars!”

Casanova’s 188-month sentence was reported yesterday. U.S. Attorney Damian Williams called him a “high-profile leader of a vicious street gang and a magnet for gang violence,” in a recent press release. The rapper’s lawyers also claim that his life is in danger in prison. He previously renounced his ties to the Untouchable Gorilla Stone Nation gang in a letter to a judge. Earlier this month, he was involved in a serious altercation with another inmate, reportedly linked him renouncing his affiliation.
