Lyrica Anderson Defends Erica Mena’s “Monkey” Comment, Van Lathan Calls Her “Vile”

by

Erica Mena has recently been under fire for using a racial slur against Spice on an episode of Love & Hip Hop Atlanta. The two of them got into it, and it’s safe to say that things were taken too far. When Spice made a comment about Mena’s family life, she fired back by calling her a “blue monkey.” This has resulted in a great deal of backlash for the personality, and has even led to her being removed from the next season of the show.

The reality star has been hit with a lot of criticism for her use of the slur. Van Lathan also spoke on the incident recently, claiming that it showcases an “anti-Black attitude.” He broke down his take, explaining that her “proximity to Blackness” doesn’t excuse her for having having racist tendencies. “Erica Mena called Spice a ‘monkey,’” Lathan also said. “That is an anti-Black slur, meant to dehumanize Black women, Black people. Until further notice, Erica Mena is a vile, racist woman.”

Lyrica Anderson Speaks On Erica Mena’s Use Of A Slur

Though Mena has been facing her fair share of criticism for using the slur, others have come to her defense. Recently, Lyrica Anderson took to social media to share her own thoughts on the situation. She seemed to claim that Mena didn’t really do anything wrong. Anderson’s take is that when people get heated in an argument, they’re not thinking about what is and isn’t appropriate to say. “It’s like rules to arguing now,” she says. “Are you really thinking about how to argue with somebody when you’re mad mad?”

Amid the controversy, some social media users have dug up old reports about a similar incident that allegedly took place in 2015. A club promoter had come forward, alleging that Mena called her and members of her staff “Black, broke, monkeys.” Keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Boosie Badazz Thinks Lena The Plug Will Cheat On Adam22 After Jason Luv Sex Tape

by

It’s not surprising to see Boosie Badazz making headlines with reckless abandon on our website. While the internet is currently criticizing the Louisana-born lyricist for inviting women over to his house for a tuna sandwich party, Vlad TV has shared an interview clip in which Boosie addressed a pop culture scandal that nearly broke the internet earlier this summer. During his chat with the outlet, the 40-year-old shared his thoughts on Lena The Plug’s sex tape with Jason Luv, and how that might impact her relationship with her husband, Adam22.

“At first I was like, ‘He kinda sick.’ But I thought about side b**ches I done had who liked to see me f**k other b**ches,” Boosie told Vlad. The conversation then shifted to how the No Jumper host has slept with hundreds of other women during his marriage to Lena, but her video with Jason is the first she’s done with another man. Of course, the Southern star pointed out that it’s possible the adult actress could be sleeping with others behind closed doors too.

Boosie Badazz Speaks on Lena The Plug’s XXX Collab with Jason Luv

“You don’t know who else she f**kin’ if she allowed to do it,” he noted. “She could sneak and geek. Once you open that door, bruh, that door is open. If she opened that door for one, she will sneak f**k seven or eight,” Boosie speculated of Lena’s sexual escapades. “Your wife is your kingdom. That’s how most people feel.”

Filming a sex tape with Jason Luv clearly brought plenty of attention Lena The Plug’s way, and initially, the X-rated actress had plenty of positive things to say about working with her co-star. However, as you may recall, he sat down for a solo interview in the weeks after, during which he gave out a bit too much information for Adam22 and his wife’s liking. Read more about that drama at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Drake Gifts Fan A Chanel Bag During Vegas Show

by

After a brief stop in Canada, the It’s All a Blur tour has returned to the United States. As the tour enters its final full month, Drake kicked things off in Sin City. While more highlights of the night are likely to emerge, especially if any bras made it onto the stage. However, the current concert clip doing the rounds shows an act of kindness from the Canadian rapper.

During the concert, Drake paused to gift a fan standing near the stage a gold-colored Chanel bag. It’s unclear what led up to this interaction, which was originally posted to TikTok by the user “laurennoelmiller”. It’s unclear if Miller is the woman receiving the bag in the video. Regardless, it’s a moment that that fan is not going to forget for a long time.

Of course, as with every tour stop, there have been plenty of Drake antics as of late. On the more positive end of the spectrum, Drizzy gave away concert tickets from a scavenger hunt on his official website. Fans were encouraged to explore various pages of the website to find parts of a code that led to a chance to win free tickets for the tour. Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj is seriously ready for For All The Dogs to come out. Minaj reportedly has a feature on the album. According to Drake, the album will be out soon, though he declined to give an actual release date.

However, not all of the viral moments have been as positive. While not directly related to the tour, a snippet from For All The Dogs was released online. In it, Drake can be heard saying “I should probably be in there with Thug and them” on the partially leaked track. The snippet got some pushback from fans, who disliked Drake’s fairly clean persona and career privilege being compared to the very real criminal charges being faced by Young Thug and company in the YSL trial.

Baby Tate’s “Jersey” Pays Homage To Jersey Club Music

by

Baby Tate continues to blow up and there are plenty of reasons for that. Even though she has been releasing music to streaming for nearly eight years now, it was around 2020 when her career began to really take off. The release of her song “I Am” with Flo Milli became a hit with listeners and it currently sits at over 88 million streams. “Hey, Mickey!” back in 2016 has also become immensely popular with over 133 million plays.

Then, in 2022 she made a short but fun appearance on the now platinum single “Surround Sound.” A lead single to JID’s third solo album, The Forever Story, also featuring 21 Savage, became a fan-favorite. It is the highest-streamed track on the critically-acclaimed LP thanks in part to Baby Tate. Now, her second single released under her name, “Jersey,” might be another viral hit.

Lil Reese Returns Stolen Bike, Says Viral Mugshot Is “Fake And Edited”

by

Lil Reese recently appeared on an episode of DJ Univercity’s podcast, and he came bearing gifts. In a clip from the show, the Chicago rapper wheels out a children’s bike for the host, revealing that the two of them have some history. Apparently, Lil Reese stole DJ Univercity’s bike when they were kids, and he took the opportunity to make things right. “I ain’t gonna lie I did some research, and I got your bike back,” he told him. “Go’n and get your bike, man.”

Unfortunately, it turns out that the bike he brought wasn’t actually DJ Univercity’s, so he just brought him someone else’s bike. Luckily, it’s the thought that counts. “Fool, I got a bike for you!” he said. “I got somebody’s bike! I got something for you, fool. You got somebody’s bike.” It looks like Lil Reese is at least making an effort to change his old ways. With that being said, however, fans had been concerned for the rapper lately as an alleged mugshot of him has been floating around.

Fortunately, the reports were false. Lil Reese eventually responded in an Instagram comment to the viral mugshot, claiming that it’s not real. Social media users had been poking fun at the rapper’s cheeks in the image, noting that they looked a bit chubbier than usual. He set the record straight, letting users know that the photo had been altered. “That fake edited a** mugshot yall crazy,” he wrote, adding a slew of laughing emojis.

In other Lil Reese news, the artist got into it with Adam22 earlier this month on an episode of the No Jumper podcast. He called into the show, putting the host on blast for reporting on him in the past “Why you steady having people bring up old s**t that’s not true?” he asked. Keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Lil Reese.

Rap Duo Coyote Team Up For The Collab Of A Lifetime With Shaquille O’Neal On “3 Lokos”

by

The rap combo of brothers Ladies Love Guapo and Ricky Blanco is fairly new to the Los Angeles rap scene. They started releasing music to streaming platforms about three years ago, and they have already recruited a legend to their newest single. “3 Lokos” features NBA and Los Angeles Lakers legend Shaquille O’Neal, who if you were not aware is big in the music scene. The Diesel is also a DJ and longtime rapper, releasing his first song back in 1993, “(I Know I Got) Skillz.” That song would appear on his first studio album, Shaq Diesel.

Shaq quickly followed up a year later with his second full-length, Shaq-Fu: Da Return. However, he would take a long break from rapping until a few years past his retirement in 2011. In fact, 2016 was the next time he would hop on a beat. “My Squads Lit” by Pairanoid and Kryoman was the first track he would appear on in over 22 years. Since then, the Big Aristotle has become a massive DJ, packing outdoor shows and sending fans into moshpits. All of this history brings us to this new track from Coyote, “3 Lokos.”

According to TMZ, Shaq has been a fan of theirs for quite a while. Over time they formed a relationship, and the three of them began to work together in the studio. “[Shaq] was like as long as it’s some hardcore stuff, I’m down. So we made a hardcore hip hop ’90s-type song and we’re like ‘Bro, let’s send it to Shaq,’ and he got on it, did his thing, he spit like 32 bars. He went off!” Ladies Love Guapo said. Shaq certainly goes crazy over the aggressive instrumental. Shockingly, he does not curse one time, making it even more impressive. Hopefully, we get more moments like this from the Shaqtus.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand new track, “3 Lokos,” by Coyote and Shaquille O’Neal? Did Shaq rap well on this cut? Is he the greatest former or current NBA player that can rap?

Alabama Barker Causes Confusion As She Posts Thirst Traps On TikTok Amid “Family Emergency”

by

Alabama Barker didn’t appear to get the message about a “family emergency” that caused Bink-182 to abruptly postpone their European tour. While her father Travis was reportedly flying back to the United States and asking for the prayers of fans, his daughter Alabama was posting thirst traps on TikTok. The 17-year-old posted a video lip-syncing a Coi Leray song while dancing in her pajamas around the same time that her father announced he was returning to the United States. Alabama has posted one other video since the news broke, which is an outtakes video of her thirst trap posting.

No details have emerged about the specific nature of the family emerged. All that is publicly available is that earlier this week, Blink-182 postponed shows in Glasgow, Dublin, and Belfast. Meanwhile, Barker himself was posting images from the prayer room at Glasgow Airport as well as what appeared to be a stained-glass window from a church.

While the nature of the family emergency is unknown, many fans are concerned that it could be related to the pregnancy of Kourtney Kardashian. Kardashian announced her pregnancy, their first child together after marrying last year, at a Blink show earlier this year. The announcement went viral, especially after Kardashian used a fun reference to the “All The Small Things” music video to announce it. Alabama and Kardashian were spotted together as recently as August 18, according to images available on Getty Images. However, as mentioned, it is unknown if the “family emergency” is about Kardashian or someone else.

The comments sections of Alabama’s last two TikToks are full of people sending her thoughts and prayers, as well as asking for updates and if Kourtney and the baby are okay. At this time, no further information is available and all we have to go on is the ominous announcement of a “family emergency” posted earlier in this week. This remains a developing story and we’ll have any updates as and when they emerge.

Jaidyn Alexis Reacts To Trolls Making Fun Of Her BBL On Blueface’s IG Story

by

The women in Blueface’s life are having a particularly difficult time escaping public ridicule lately. His mother, Karlissa Saffold, continues to face criticism for speaking a bit too comfortably about her sons’ bodies, while the rapper’s two baby mamas are going through social media battles of their own. For her part, Chrisean Rock has followers rolling their eyes whenever she brags about reconciling with Blueface. As for Jaidyn Alexis, it’s her $30K BBL that often makes her the centre of attention, but not often for good reasons.

Earlier this week, the California-born artist’s IG Story lit up with a new candid snapshot of Alexis. The mother of two looks cozy at home, her blue shorts notably riding almost all the way up her surgically enhanced booty. Alexis wore a dark crop top to cover her upper half, and her long, dark hair ran down her back in stringy braids. It seems as though Blueface was trying to flex his partner’s figure to the world, perhaps in an attempt to make Rock jealous. However, it obviously backfired as the comments on various blog posts were quickly filled by trolls.

“He hates women,” one user suggested. “He actually loves to humiliate them. This his mammy doing 😩.” Another person focused on the results of Alexis’ procedure, writing, “I would be mad asf if I [got] surgery and it [turned] out like this lol.”

Upon seeing what critics are saying, the “Stewie” rapper jumped on Twitter to ward off haters with a simple message. “Not my a** being reportable news 😂,” she laughed. Given her recent track record, it likely won’t be long until Alexis and Blue find a way to turn their haters into a profit.
