Cardi B just might be cashing in on her extravagant and extensive car collection. In a new social media video upload, the Bronx rapper showed off her garage and noted that a lot of the vehicles were just sitting around unused.

As HipHopDX noted, the collection includes a red Ferrari SUV that was a birthday gift from Offset and a black Maybach.

“F*cking cars, it just collects dust,” Cardi said. “I wonder if it even turns on… This gift Offset gave me, she’s pretty but I ain’t seen her in forever. I gotta bring my Maybach to New York.”

“Just collecting dust, we might as well just sell the f*cking cars,” she added. “We might as well just sell the f*cking cars. Oh my God, look at my f*cking Maybach.”

Throughout the clip, she also pans to a gray car, as actual dust and other dirt can be seen on the roofs of the various cars.

However, the luxury purchases are ones that both she and Offset have loved — as she also bought him a Lamborghini Aventador in 2020. The year prior, she gave up and got a refrigerator for his birthday.

“You got every car,” she said at the time. “You got every jewelry. You got everything. You got every shoe. You know what I’m saying. What else can I give somebody that got everything?”

As Lil Uzi Vert fans await news of the Philadelphia rapper’s new album The Pink Tape and Uzi makes surprise appearances at Paramore concerts, the genre agnostic, gender non-conforming artist recently appeared on the cover of 032c magazine with a feature that delved into what Uzi’s been up to since we last heard from them. In addition to working on The Pink Tape, they also got sober — an evolution that they credited to Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez, who sent them to seven months in rehab.

“I’m lucky to have people in my life who truly care about me and my well-being,” Uzi admitted. “Specifically, Desiree Perez, who helped me get into this program. I didn’t want to do it, but I had to — and I can say now that it was a great thing to do. I spent seven months in rehab. The first month and a half were hard, but after that, it was easy, because the people there became my family. They showed me so many different outlets and ways to cope with life. We did a lot of group talks, a lot of writing on whiteboards. I was so sure that it wasn’t going to work, but surprisingly it’s pretty effective.”

Perhaps stepping into sobriety is what’s helped make Uzi so productive lately. According to producer Lyle Leduff, they have recorded over 1,500 songs for the project and now have to narrow it down to a reasonable number for an actual release.

Kim Kardashian Stopped Being Kanye West’s ‘Clean-Up Crew’ And Thinks He Needs To ‘Hit Rock Bottom’

In a new episode of Hulu’s The Kardashians, Kim Kardashian is opening up more about the impact that Kanye West’s disturbing behavior has had on both her and their children.

“I’m stuck with this for the rest of my life, and I’m just so overwhelmed,” Kim said, noting that it “affects my kids.”

The conversation continues as Kim talks to her mother, Kris Jenner, in the emotional scene. “That’s the tragic part of the whole story,” Jenner responded.

“I still feel the need to not talk about it and protect it from my kids and I always will feel that way, but God, if people knew,” Kim continued. “I just would never do that to my kids. It just is really crazy.”

The reality star divorced West in 2021. Throughout last year, the rapper went on antisemitic social media rants and posted other troubling content. Despite the downward spiral, Kim told her mom how she’s trying to shield the four children from the headlines, particularly the oldest, North.

“She actually doesn’t know and that’s what’s so crazy,” Kim said. “When stuff is said, it’s a chain to my whole household. No TV, only Apple TV. I can’t risk an Access Hollywood […] or anything on the news coming up with their dad mentioned and they want to watch. I have to figure out a way to protect and so they still haven’t seen anything, but then I go into crisis mode.”

“Sometimes I feel like if he were to hit rock bottom, that’s his journey that he needs to figure out on his own,” she added. “I used to run around and call everyone behind his back, and be like, ‘It’s gonna be OK, it’s gonna be OK, don’t worry. Just give him another chance.’ I used to spend hours and hours and hours of my day to be the clean-up crew. I just don’t have that energy.”

Since their separation, Kim briefly dated Pete Davidson, and West got remarried.

SZA, Who Treats Her Butt ‘Like A Purse,’ Confirmed She Got A Brazilian Butt Lift And Explained Why She Did

There has long been speculation that SZA has gone under the knife for some plastic surgery, specifically a Brazilian butt lift, or BBL. She even seemed to confirm it on her album SOS, singing on the title track, “So classic, that ass so fat, it look natural, it’s not.” Later, at the start of “Conceited,” she says, “I just got my body done, ain’t got no guilt about it / I just heard your opinion, I could’ve did without it.”

Now, though, SZA has spoken more definitively, confirming she has had a BBL in a new interview with Elle.

She said, “I treat my butt like a purse. It’s just there to enhance whatever else. And that’s why I paid for it, because it works all by itself. […] I always wanted a really fat ass with less gym time. I didn’t succumb to industry pressure. I succumbed to my own eyes in the mirror and being like, ‘No, I need some more ass.’”

SZA also said of her general outlook, “I have a deep desire to shut everyone up, and that probably comes from high school and all that type of sh*t. My mom always told me that I’ve always been the kind of person where people either really f*ck with me or they just don’t like me at all.”

Frank Ocean Corrects Lyrics To Newly Leaked “These Days” Single

by

Eager fans managed to break into Frank Ocean’s vault and leak several unreleased songs. Most recently, an Instagram page called OCD VS THE WORLD shared an unreleased song from the Blonde era along with the lyrics to the record. Apparently, the song, titled “These Days,” was reportedly purchased for $6,200 from a leaker. However, it seems like some of the lyrics weren’t actually accurate. 

Frank slipped in the comment sections with a few corrections. “Told you I would put your figure near my lung heart was racing on a rush was it fun when it was fun jaw clenching on a tablet I was numb armored windows don’t roll down like factory ones I don’t drink but what I’m thinking give me buzz give me buzz,” he wrote. “You say fuck me then go fuck her but you blush got priorities in life that I disrupt so back to turning my 8 figures up back to turning lil figures up if I’m on it I’ll see 10 when I’m young .. young.”

Frank Ocean’s “These Days” Surfaces

Genius reports that the song was actually pressed on vinyl and sent out to 10 people as a replacement for “Little Demon.” However, his team opted out of sharing the song on vinyl and instead, delivered 2016’s Endless. Will the song ever see an official release? At this point, it seems unlikely but fortunately, there are promising signs that a new album is on the way. Despite Ocean’s shaky appearance at Coachella, he did reveal that he’s working on new music.

“t’s been so long. Everybody talks about how long it’s been. ‘It’s been so long, it’s been so long.’ But I have missed you,” he said. “I want to talk about why I’m here, because it’s not because of a new album. It’s because — not that there’s not a new album… but there’s not right now. Chill, chill, chill. No, it’s not right now.” He went on to honor his brother, Ryan Breaux, who passed away in a car crash in 2020. Check out Frank Ocean’s response to the leak above and let us know your thoughts in the comments.

Joe Budden Delivers Epic Rant Over DJ Envy Real Estate Scam Allegations

by

Joe Budden is not afraid to speak out on topics that are controversial. On his show The Joe Budden podcast, he can be heard roasting people and giving them a piece of his mind. Overall, this has made Joe a polarizing figure. However, you truly can’t help but respect how bold he is. He knows his audience, and he knows how to articulate his thoughts in a way that will get attention. Consequently, his podcast empire has grown to some exponential heights over the last decade or so.

Recently, Joe Budden gave his take on the DJ Envy real estate situation. Envy got wrapped up in some allegations against his business partner Flipping NJ, who goes by the name Cesar Pina. Many have accused Pina of mismanaging funds and just overall scamming people out of millions. Although Envy has denied being part of this, Budden wants to get to the bottom of this. In an epic rant down below, Joe made it clear that he thinks the Rick Ross and Gunplay beefs were simply a smoke screen for the Pina situation.

Joe Budden Pops Off

“All that Gunplay sh**? Distraction. All that car show sh**? Distraction,” Budden said. “Produce that little fat f**k! Get him out of here! Where he at? You n****s been all around Hudson County, Essex County, every New Jersey county — get that little f**k to the front row and say, ‘Aye, Cesar — pizza, pizza — let’s get to it.’” Budden then went on to roast Envy some more, noting that he should bring Cesar up to The Breakfast Club. “Come on, papa. Come on out. Envy, Charlamagne, I don’t need to hear none of that Gunplay sh**, what else y’all got going on up there,” he said. “Bring Cesar up there. I’ll tell you the guest we want to see. I’m tuning in! Enough of all that bringing the political parties, Dr. Umar — all that shit cool. Get Cesar up there, though. Can’t be too hard to find him.”

Overall, this is a situation that continues to develop. However, it remains to be seen whether or not Envy will continue to speak on it. For now, he has remained fairly quiet about it all, aside from a few comments here and there. Let us know what you think of Joe Budden’s remarks, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the music world.

Timothée Chalamet’s Friends Express “Concern” Over Kylie Jenner

by

Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner may not be confirmed to be dating, but the internet certainly thinks they are. Claims of covert visits and secret dates have run wild in recent months, with everyone convinced that the pair are an item. However, turns out that not everyone is a fan of the potential pairing.

RadarOnline published an inflammatory report in which several sources reportedly close to Chalamet expressed their concern about the damage that dating a Kardashian/Jenner could have on Chalamet’s career. “Every guy who dates or marries one of the Kar-Jenners winds up on the scrap heap, wondering what happened to their reputation and career,” the source said. “Every one of those guys left their relationship with a Kar-Jenner worse off than they arrived. Kanye’s a walking trainwreck. Caitlyn is a desperately seeking attention has-been. And Kris and Tristan are both out of the NBA and jeered every time they walk into an arena!”

Genuine Concern Or Kardashian Hate?

Anonymous sources must always be taken with a grain of salt. However, what we can do is analyze their incredibly incendiary claims. It’s almost impossible to ignore the anti-Kardashian vitriol in the source’s quotes, which almost borders on slanderous. Blaming Kim Kardashian for Kanye West’s whole deal is almost textbook defamation. Setting aside whether Kanye West has mental health issues, the only person that made Kanye West a man who spews white supremacist talking points at every turn is Kanye West. Calling Caitlyn Jenner a “desperately seeking attention has-been” both reeks of unspoken transphobia and is completely subjective. She’s currently enjoying a presumably cushy gig on Fox News, regardless of how you feel about the station as a whole.

Furthermore, Kris Humphries played 13 years in the NBA and retired in 2017. Humphries was a solid role player who definitely isn’t “jeered every time” he’s at an NBA game. Similarly, Tristan Thompson literally played playoff basketball this season. Additionally, Thompson has also spent over a decade playing in the NBA and once again, is not jeered. We must also address the exes that the source omitted. Travis Scott, the six-time Grammy-nominated recording artist, is the most notable ex left out by the source. Does he have some controversies in his past? Sure. Do they have anything to do with Kylie? No, not really. In short, this feels less like genuine concern for Chalamet and more like someone wanted to take a shot at the easy target of the biggest family in the world.

Kanye West Delivered An Instant Classic With “Ghost Town”

by

Kanye West is one of the most legendary artists out there, even if he has gone off the deep end with his political opinions. Overall, he has a ton of classic albums to his name. Moreover, he has some very good albums that others would rank lower in his discography. One of those albums would be Ye which dropped back in 2018. This was part of that iconic rollout that included a ton of amazing GOOD Music drops. Daytona was part of this, as was Kids See Ghosts. However, Ye was the most anticipated due to the fact that it was a solo album with Kanye at the helm.

This album is now turning five years old, which is hard to believe. It dropped on June 1st of 2018, and remains a massive success. Although there are only seven tracks on this project, it made an impact in a short amount of time. There are some solid tracks throughout and even some great features. However, the final two tracks featuring 070 Shake are the ones people really remember. One of these is “Violent Crime” which is the final song. The penultimate track is “Ghost Town,” an effort that also includes Kid Cudi and PARTYNEXTDOOR.

Kanye West Was In His Bag

Throughout this amazing song, we get soulful samples and some fantastic chord progressions. Moreover, 070 Shake truly stole the show and became a star on this track. The artist comes in on the back half of the song and delivers some truly fantastic vocals. Furthermore, the anthemic nature of the production is some of Kanye’s best. To this day, “Ghost Town” is the song that elicits some of the strongest nostalgia for the album. 

While Ye did have its shortcoming as a project, “Ghost Town” was not one of them. Let us know your favorite song on this album, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from the music world. We will always keep you informed.

Quotable Lyrics:

You might think they wrote you off
They gon’ have to rope me off
Some day the drama’ll be gone
And they’ll pray, it’s not enough
Sometimes I take all the shine
Talk like I drank all the wine

Lil Uzi Vert Explains Changing Their Pronouns

by

Lil Uzi Vert somewhat stunned fans a few months ago when they revealed that they would be going by they/them pronouns. For those who may not know, they/them are pronouns typically ascribed to those who are non-binary and thus don’t conform to the gender binary. Overall, Uzi is not the first artist to make this change, however, they are certainly the most prevalent in hip-hop. The genre is very male-dominated, and also fairly heteronormative. Consequently, many were quick to make fun of Uzi for his pronoun change. Although, their true fans remained supportive. 

According to XXL, Lil Uzi Vert recently graced the cover of 032c Magazine. During their appearance, they spoke about changing their pronouns and what it meant to them. Overall, it was not that hard of a decision for the hitmaker. Instead, it was something that they were thinking deeply about. Before making the change, they wanted to make sure they were doing the right thing. However, after some self-reflection, they made the change knowing it was what was best for them and their identity.

Lil Uzi Vert Stands By Their Decision

“No, I never hesitated,” Lil Uzi Vert said. “But I did take my time to learn as much as I could about this before I was able to proceed. Taking the time to figure out who you are is a big part of what it means to be alive. Once you figure out whether you’re here with it, there with it, or both, you’re not alone anymore. This community offers access to a certain kind of support that you might not have had [previously during] your entire life because you weren’t raised that way. I come from a household where it’s not okay to be ‘non’ anything.”

Recently, Lil Uzi Vert also spoke about going to rehab at the behest of Roc Nation. Overall, it was a great decision that now has them sober and feeling great. Hopefully, this means The Pink Tape is finally on the horizon. Be sure to stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from from around the music world. We will always be sure to keep you informed.
