Kim Kardashian Wears The Littlest Black Dress Ever To Stephanie Shepherd’s Wedding
As one of the most recognizable sex symbols of today, Kim Kardashian has no trouble turning heads. Whether she’s bare-faced and sporting SKIMS shapewear or dressed in diamonds and designer clothing, her natural star power immediately commands most of the attention in the room. Because of this, she’s not an ideal wedding guest for insecure friends. Luckily, her pal Stephanie Shepherd has plenty of confidence and didn’t seem bothered by Kardashian’s shocking outfit for her nuptials this past weekend.
On Saturday (June 24), Kim’s former assistant finally tied the knot. Famous friends like Swizz Beatz, Alicia Keys, Justin Bieber, Timbaland, and La La Anthony all happily watched on. Many in attendance were tastefully and elegantly dressed. The SKIMS founder, however, had more of her body on display than some internet users are comfortable with. As Page Six notes, she wore a dress from Alaïa that uses little material on the upper half. It only covered the lower half of her breasts, along with extra straps around the neck and waist for support.

Kim Kardashian Knows How to Push Boundaries
The LBD’s bottom half provided far more coverage – from the back, anyway. In the front, a uniquely-shaped cutout gives a glimpse at Kardashian’s thighs and the black bottoms she’s wearing beneath. No images from the event have surfaced on Instagram quite yet. Still, we wouldn’t be surprised if the 42-year-old captured a thirst trap or two for future use.
When she’s not breaking looks with her bold fashion choices (which you can find photos of here), Kim Kardashian can be found taking care of her four children. Now that she and Kanye West have gone their separate ways, the socialite is left with more responsibilities on her plate than ever before, but she still manages to maintain a positive attitude. Read how Kim handled an adorable diss from her youngest daughter, Chicago West, at the link below, and check back later for more music/pop culture news updates.

Steph Curry Reveals Feelings On Chris Paul Trade
Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors fell short of repeating as the champions of the NBA. The Warriors were knocked out of the 2023 Playoffs in the Western Conference Semifinals by the Lakers. The Warriors seemed to be missing just one more piece to get over the hump. Although it was practically the same team that won the Larry O’Brien just a year before. Nevertheless, the Warriors felt like it was time to shake things up a bit. When you have the chance to bring in a future Hall of Famer, you can’t pass it up.
Chris Paul was traded to the Washington Wizards in a blockbuster deal. The trade sent former Wizards star Bradley Beal to Phoenix. However, before that trade was even officially completed, Paul had another new home. The Warriors wasted little time in bringing Paul to the organization. However, that means trading away a young piece of the franchise. That young piece would end up being Jordan Poole. Poole already had an up-and-down year, including an altercation with Draymond Green. However, Curry will not forget his time with the team.

Steph Curry Trusts Warriors Plan
“You hate losing [Jordan Poole]… That’s the tough part of the business, seeing a young guy come into his own [and then get traded]… But we’re trying to win next year and Chris Paul can help.”

In his first comments about the trade, Curry mentioned how hard it is to see Poole go. “You hate losing [Jordan Poole]… That’s the tough part of the business, seeing a young guy come into his own [and then get traded]… But we’re trying to win next year, and Chris Paul can help.” The last part of that comment is the sole reason for the trade. Paul puts the Warriors in a better position to compete for a title. However, will he be open to coming off of the bench?
It may take some time for the Warriors to blend Paul into their chemistry. However, Curry and Paul both are proven winners. They each know the sacrifices that need to be made for the greater good. But does Paul give the Warriors a better chance at beating a team like the Denver Nuggets? Do you think this trade made the Warriors better? Let us know in the comment section.

N.O.R.E. Links Up With Chief Keef At BET Awards
Over the weekend the BET Awards happened, presenting many of rap music’s biggest stars the chance to interact. While some like JT and Lil Uzi Vert used that opportunity to start drama, others were all love. Outside the show, Capone-N-Noreaga rapper N.O.R.E. linked up with trap pioneer Chief Keef.

Another explains exactly how influential he’s been. “Chief definitely deserves his flowers ! 9/10 all the artists you see today were influenced by him in some way shape or form.”
N.O.R.E. And Chief Keef Cross Paths
When N.O.R.E. is in the news these days it often has to do with other rappers he’s run into. A few weeks ago he linked up backstage with Wu-Tang Clan after a show While chatting with the group he invited them to appear on his show Drink Champs. Just a few weeks before that at a different show, he ran into a different NY legend backstage, Nas. He had just recently interviewed Nas and afterward described the entire experience as “surreal.” The pair have been seen together after a handful of shows on Nas and Wu-Tang’s current tour.
Last month N.O.R.E. gave a very rare performance. He was present for the Lovers & Friends festival where he dazzled the crowd with his set. He also implied that it could be one of his last performances before retiring from live performance entirely. Backstage at that show, he linked up with even more rappers.

Tobias Harris Calls Out Sixers Fans Amid Trade Rumors
Tobias Harris has been garnering a lot of attention lately. However, it may not be for any reason that he would like it to be. Before Bradley Beal was traded to the Phoenix Suns, Harris was mentioned in a potential trade. At the time, the Suns were thinking about moving on from DeAndre Ayton. A plan that has since been put on the back burner. However, one of the landing spots for Ayton would have been in Philadelphia. As the rumor went, Harris would have been dealt to Pheonix.
However, now the Suns are claiming that they are sticking with Ayton. At least for one more season. For Harris, he still remains in Philadelphia. But it does seem like the trade talk is started to wear thin. In a recent interview, Harris was asked about his thoughts on being traded from Philadelphia. Let’s just say he didn’t sound too thrilled by the idea of starting new somewhere else. Check out the clip below.

Tobias Harris Frustrated With Trade Talk
“Casual Sixers fans, they’ll trade me for a Crumbl Cookie… You’re not getting a 6’9 forward back who can damn near shoot 40% from 3, guard other teams best player, post-up, drive, play 70+ games.” To be fair, Harris did say it was only the casual fans that would want him gone for a cookie. Depending on the cookie and the amount of cookies I would receive, it would be hard for me to not want to trade everybody. Nevertheless, it seems that Harris feels slighted by the trade rumors.
The 6’9 forward does have the numbers to back up a great season. Last year, Harris averaged 14 points and 5 rebounds for the Sixers. Both numbers are a little below his career average. However, this past season in Philadelphia may have been the most talent that Harris has played around. There are a lot of questions left to be answered in Philadelphia before the start of next season. A big one will be if Tobias Harris is still on the roster for opening night. For the latest news in sports, keep it right here with HNHH.

Kid Cudi Gives Promising Update On Travis Scott Collabs
Kid Cudi’s musical career has seen its share of ups and downs, and while the multi-talent previously announced his plans to retire, he’s coming through with another album for us soon. He announced the title of his upcoming project, INSANO, while experimenting with a new sound on his “Porsche Topless” single. Since then, Cudi has steadily shared more updates with fans, even dropping a major one while performing at Lyrical Lemonade’s Summer Smash event.
“We got some new joints on this new album, ‘INSANO’ coming out later on in a couple months,” the How To Make It An America actor told his audience. By “we,” he meant The Scotts, consisting of him and Travis Scott, who previously found success with their self-titled single in 2020. After that track blew up they had plans to release a joint album. However, it never came to be as Cudi ultimately declared that “the moment has passed” when answering questions about the LP in 2022.

Travis Scott is Working with His Idol Once Again
At Summer Smash the 39-year-old was sure to give the Houston native his flowers. “You know I feel like why I’m doing these shows right now, I gotta be out here repping for my guy and this s**t is for Trav,” Cudi declared. As HipHopDX reports, “Mr. Rager” has hinted that his next project could be his last under his stage moniker. In addition to that, he also believes that it has the potential to be the “album of the year,” if his predictions are accurate, that is.
Excitement is high for Kid Cudi’s INSANO project, no doubt about it, but what’s really got hip-hop head’s buzzing is Travis Scott’s UTOPIA. The project will follow his Grammy-nominated Astroworld album and marks his comeback from the deadly festival he hosted in Houston a few years back. Read our report on the potential release date that may have been teased on a new billboard, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Larsa Pippen Blames Relationship For OnlyFans Backlash
Larsa Pippen made a lot of headlines when it was announced that she was in a new relationship. However, the news of being in a relationship isn’t what sent shock waves around pop culture media. But rather, who Pippen was now seeing was the center point of every conversation for weeks. Pippen and her boyfriend, Marcus Jordan, have always been unashamed of their relationship. You might think the last name Jordan sounds oddly familiar. That’s because it is. Jordan is the son of, you guessed it, Michael Jordan.
Yes, the Micheal Jordan. The one who will forever be linked to Pippen’s ex-husband, Scottie. Whatever the case may be with the family drama, it seems that Pippen and Jordan are happy together. That’s Larsa and Marcus. Scottie and Michael don’t seem to be on speaking terms, with the way Scottie has talked about Michael’s game recently. Anyway, we’re not here to discuss those two. But rather a question that was brought up to Larsa and Marcus on their podcast.

Larsa & Marcus Tackle The Podcast World
Pippen and Jordan released a new podcast Separation Anxiety. On a recent episode, Jordan was asked about how he felt about Pippen’s OnlyFans account. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, OnlyFans is an account featuring adult content in which fans can purchase. While answering the question, Jordan said he would never stand in the way of Pippen earning an income. Although he reiterated that the Pippen having an account doesn’t bother him.
Pippen stated that she believes their relationship has hurt her account due to fans being unhappy that the pair are in a relationship. But whatever the case may be, we can all agree that the path to this relationship had to be a strange one. It’s not every day that you see a guy start a relationship with one of his father’s former teammate’s ex-wife. Something tells me this relationship has a Lifetime movie written all over it.

XXL Posts Finesse2Tymes Freshman Freestyle
As they do every year, XXL has selected a group of up-and-coming hip-hop stars that they think have a future in the genre. This year’s group features 12 new artists from across the rap music spectrum. Highlights from this year’s class include GloRilla, Lola Brooke, Fridayy, Central Cee, and Tia Corine. 11 of the artists were picked by XXL themselves. The list also has a special spot saved for fans to vote on. Milwaukee rapper and singer DC The Don was the winner of the fan-voted “10th Spot”. As part of the promotion the various freshman participate in a variety of activities. While the most popular of the bunch is always the group freshmen cyphers, a close second are their freestyles.
Yesterday, XXL posted the first freestyle of the bunch to their YouTube channel. The first of the freshman freestyles is handled by Memphis rapper Finesse2Tymes. He delivered a performance that lasted around a minute and a half. His intense performance leaned into his distinct deep voice and even brought a prop with him. He performed his freestyle alongside a stool that he used to make a beat to rap over. Reactions from fans seemed a bit mixed. Some thought it was cool that he rapped while making his own beat. Others thought he failed to even stay on the beat that he was making.

If Finesse2Tymes one day graduates from XXL freshman to rap superstar he would be far from the first. Superstars like Travis Scott, Kendrick Lamar, Future, Chance The Rapper, Megan Thee Stallion and Gunna have all been freshmen in the past. The best-known freshman class is the 2016 edition. That year’s list featured talents like Anderson .Paak, Dave East, and G Herbo. The most memorable part of that year was the legendary cypher it produced. Denzel Curry, 21 Savage, Lil Yachty, Kodak Black, and Lil Uzi Vert all teamed up for a cypher. The video went instantly viral and changed how all future cyphers were done. The continued success of everyone involved has made the performance even more legendary.
Finesse2Tymes himself is a freshman, but he’s not new. He’s been releasing music regularly since 2019. Last year he dropped his breakout project 90 Days which featured Tay Keith, Lil Baby, Moneybagg Yo, and Gucci Mane. What do you think of Finesse2Tymes XXL Freshman Freestyle?
