Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj’s beef has divided the internet for days now. Recently, it even reignited the longwinded feud between Blueface’s mother Karlissa Saffold, and Blac Chyna’s mother Tokyo Toni. Saffold has been a vocal supporter of Meg for some time now, even rooting for her son to shoot his shot at the Houston native. Tokyo’s allegiance lies with Nicki, on the other hand, and she hasn’t been afraid to show it.
Earlier this week, Tokyo took to Instagram Live, walking around in public where she was greeted by excited fans. After smiling and saying ‘hi,’ however, she asked the fans if they liked Meg. When they told her that they did, she shut them down, walking away and coldly telling them “f*ck y’all.”
This sparked a response from Saffold, who claims that Tokyo needs to back off of Meg. According to her, the “Hiss” performer is off limits, as her mother is no longer around to stick up for her. “I’ll say this one time and one time only Ms. Tokyo,” she begins in a new clip. “Don’t f*ck with Megan. Her mama not here to take up for her, don’t f*ck with her. She’s off-limits. Unless you want me to pull up and do you how I did you on that Zeus Network. That’s all I’ve got to say today.”
Tokyo has yet to respond to Saffold, but it’s safe to say that the warning won’t do much to deter her. What do you think of Karlissa Saffold telling Tokyo Toni to back off Megan Thee Stallion? Do you agree that she should be off limits because her mom’s not around to defend her anymore? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
The Jamie Foxx Show premiered on The WB on August 28, 1996. With its hilarious cast led by the phenomenal Jamie Foxx, the show delivered laughter, charisma, and unforgettable moments to audiences across the nation. Altogether, it has 100 episodes split across five seasons that ran from 1996 to 2001. Although it’s been over two decades since it ended, many fans dearly hold fond memories of watching its episodes. Also, new audiences continue to find and experience it. Recently, Christopher B. Duncan, who played Braxton P. Hartnabrig, posted on Instagram about his time on the series and mentioned that he almost got a spinoff. While that unfortunately never happened, he, as well as the other stars, have achieved much since the show ended. Here’s what the stars of The Jamie Foxx Show has been up to, and where they are now.
Co-creator and central character of the show, Jamie Foxx held it down through all five seasons. Foxx’s portrayal of Jamie King aptly showcased his comedic talents and laid the foundation for his successful career in Hollywood. Since the show wrapped in 2001, the actor has achieved some very impressive feats. In 2005, he swept up awards at the Oscars, Golden Globes, and BAFTA ceremonies, among others, for his outstanding performance in Ray. Additionally, Foxx won a Grammy for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group in 2010.
Today, Jamie Foxx is a very accomplished and recognized figure in the entertainment industry. Foxx has starred in many films since 2001, including Dreamgirls (2006), The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014), and They Cloned Tyrone (2023), among others. Now 56 years old, he is still going strong. The actor is set to appear in a handful of upcoming movies, like Back In Action which also stars Cameron Diaz.
For five seasons, Garcelle Beauvais portrayed the character Francesca Monroe on The Jamie Foxx Show. The romantic arc of her and Foxx’s character was one of the highlights of the entire show. Before starring in the show, Beauvais was a prominent young model and had appeared in a handful of other shows and movies. However, she mostly appeared in recurring or guest roles, and her part on The Jamie Foxx Show was one of her first major TV roles. She has built a very impressive catalog since then, racking up acting credits in several films and shows. These include The Mentalist (2014), Spider-Man: Homecoming(2017), and Coming 2 America (2021), among others.
Jamie King’s nemesis-turned-best friend, Braxton, was hilariously portrayed by the talented Christopher B. Duncan. An important character on The Jamie Foxx Show, he was present throughout the show’s five seasons. Since the show’s finale, Christopher B. Duncan has bagged roles in many other films and TV shows. These include My Name Is Khan (2010), The First Family (2012 – 2015), and First Kill (2022), among others. In addition, the 59-year-old is a father of three, and has been married to Susan Wood Duncan since 2007. Interestingly enough, Duncan revealed that he and Susan, his on-screen girlfriend on The Jamie Foxx Show, were considered to star in a spin-off series.
Another series regular, Ellia English portrayed the beloved Aunt Helen on The Jamie Foxx Show. After moving on from the show, English went on to star in a handful of TV shows and movies. While her filmography is not as extensive as others on this list, it is still impressive. Ellia English has acting credits on Curb Your Enthusiasm (2007 – 2009), Cornered! (2009), and Good Luck Charlie (2010 – 2014), among others. However, since the final season of Code Black aired in 2018, she has not appeared on screen.
Acting veteran Garrett Morris first appeared on-screen in 1960, and has a career that spans over six decades. His portrayal of Uncle Junior King on The Jamie Foxx Show was one of the best parts of the show. Like the aforementioned stars, Morris was also a series regular throughout the show’s five season. By the time the show finished in 2001, Morris was 64 years old. However, in subsequent years, he continued to act, starring in many shows and movies. Now 86 years old, he has appeared in recent movies and shows including Grand-Daddy Day Care (2019), Self Made (2020), and How I Met Your Father (2023), among others.

Andy Berman is the only member of the main cast who did not appear in all five seasons of the show. As a matter of fact, he was only a series regular for the first 12 episodes of the first season. In those episodes, Berman portrayed the character Dennis, the bellboy of King’s Tower. After leaving The Jamie Foxx Show, Berman went on to build his career as an actor, writer, and producer. He starred in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (2004), as well as Psych (2006 – 2014) which he also has writing and production credits on. Additionally, Berman is well known for his voice role as Dib Membrane in Invader Zim. He has starred in a handful of other shows and movies.
The estate of late actor Angus Cloud has been sued by multiple parties over a number of outstanding debts. Plaintiffs include Cloud’s manager Diomi Cordero, who is reportedly owed over $94,000, and Verizon, who is reportedly owed over $4,000. These suits list Cloud’s mother Lisa as the primary defendant as she is the sole executor of her son’s estate.
Cloud died last year as a result of an accidental overdose. Cloud passed away on July 31, less than a week after he buried his father in Ireland. “It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today. As an artist, a friend, a brother and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways. Last week he buried his father and intensely struggled with this loss. The only comfort we have is knowing Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his best friend. Angus was open about his battle with mental health, and we hope that his passing can be a reminder to others that they are not alone and should not fight this on their own in silence,” his family wrote in a statement at the time.
Meanwhile, soon after his death, Cloud’s local community came out to give the actor a moving tribute. Local Oakland artist Darin Balaban teamed up with a group of Cloud’s friends to create a touching tribute to the late actor. Working on the side of a car wash, Balaban created a nine-foot mural inspired by three photos of Cloud provided by his friends. Balaban, who also knew Angus, said that Cloud was “always smiling and calm”. One of Cloud’s best friends Kalani is also an artist and reportedly helped Balaban with the mural.
According to TMZ, the mural painting became something of a community wake. People provided beer and pizza as they swapped stories about Cloud. However, Balaban admitted that he was surprised at how quickly the mural, located at Park and E. 19th, became a gathering place for those looking to mourn.

Quavo and Chris Brown’s dislike for each other has spanned quite a few years now. It was brought back into the public light earlier this month. Videos emerged online of the pair sitting next to each other during a runway show at Paris Fashion Week a few weeks ago. Brown felt the need to respond to the videos clarifying that he still isn’t a fan of the former Migos rapper and that he didn’t get to choose his seat.
During a recent episode of Rory & Mal, the two hosts discuss the situation. They debate who the organizers should have moved which becomes a debate over who’s the bigger star. The hosts go back and forth over whether or not Quavo is a more relevant star in 2024 even though Brown may have at one point been bigger. In the replies to the debate, many fans take Brown’s side. “I would’ve LOST it in this room… Quavo bigger than who??? They’ve lost their complete minds. I didn’t think it could get more disrespectful than this conversation. Stop playing with CB,” one of the top replies reads. But fans weren’t the only ones to weigh in on the debate.
Quavo himself weighed in on the debate in a tweet. “The biggest QUAVO HUNCHO!! Aint goin back and forth” his response reads. Though you’d think the responses to his own post would be more in the Migos rapper’s favor, they aren’t. There are plenty of comments making memes and jokes about how he handled the situation. Though they come in a sea of fans requesting that he drop new music soon.
Last year, Quavo and Travis Scott teased a potential sequel to their Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho collaborative album. What do you think of Quavo’s response to fans debating him and Chris Brown’s popularity? Who do you think is more popular and relevant in 2024? Let us know in the comment section below.
It goes without saying that the Barbz’s response to Megan Thee Stallion’s song “Hiss” has been nothing short of disastrous. Since the track dropped, they’ve been embroiled in a heated battle with Meg’s fanbase online. Nicki eventually responded with a song of her own, “Bigfoot.” Unfortunately, however, it’s done little to quiet the uproar.
Recently, some diehard Barbz even leaked the location of Megan Thee Stallion’s mother’s grave. “You know what to do,” they told fellow supporters. For obvious reasons, it was assumed that they planned to desecrate the gravesite. The post received plenty of backlash on social media, with the Hotties and also most Barbz agreeing that things had gone too far.
During a recent episode of The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne Tha God weighed in on the debacle, and he agreed. He claimed that it’s a bad move to mess with the dead, despite how upset you may be with their living family members. He also adds that they could find themselves in some serious danger at the hands of their loved ones, insisting that they use some common sense.
“Older people would tell you, don’t play with the dead,” he explained. “Ain’t no good gonna come to anybody doing stuff like that. You have cursed yourself and don’t even know it, okay? You do not play with the dead in that way, you let the deceased rest in peace. It’s all fun and games until you can’t sleep at night because you’re getting visited by those spirits you playing with.” What do you think of Barbz threatening to mess with the gravesite of Megan Thee Stallion’s mother amid her feud with Nicki Minaj? Do you think they’ve taken things too far? What about Charlamagne Tha God’s take? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

The use of rap lyrics in criminal trials has become a controversial issue in recent years, as cases like the racketeering case against Young Thug in Georgia have highlighted the discrepancy between how rappers are treated compared to other artists. As bills like RAP Act are being introduced federally and in states like California and New York to protect artists’ freedom of expression, each new high-profile trial must navigate the increasingly choppy waters of the decision of whether art imitates life.
In the upcoming trial against the accused killer of Jam Master Jay, a judge has determined that “music artists should be free to create without fear that their lyrics could be unfairly used against them.” According to Billboard, Judge LaShann DeArcy Hall has ruled that lyrics cannot be used as evidence against Karl Jordan Jr., who allegedly shot the Run-DMC DJ in his head in 2002. Prosecutors wanted to introduce the lyrics, which refer to just that violent act, as evidence of his involvement in the crime.
“We aim for the head, no body shots, and we stick around just to see the body drop.”
Hall elaborated on Tuesday (January 30), “Courts should be wary of overly permissive rules allowing the use of rap lyrics and videos against criminal defendants at trial. Music artists should be free to create without fear that their lyrics could be unfairly used against them at a trial.” Regarding the lyrics that prosecutors wanted to use, the savvy judge cited lyrics by Nas and Ice Cube, noting that they, like Jordan’s raps, “merely contain generic references to violence that can be found in many rap songs.” “Jordan’s lyrics are simply too imprecise,” she declared.
Her full statements are insightful and measured, and really get to the heart of the problem with using lyrics in court. She even references Kendrick Lamar’s “The Art of Peer Pressure” to point out the difference between artists confessing details of crimes in music and rap music’s incentivized lyrical tough-guy posturing. “Themes of violence and criminality have become so prevalent within the genre that they have little, if any, probative value at trial,” the judge wrote. “It is critical that resolution of guilt and innocence emerge from evidence with a close relationship to a specific criminal act, and not be based on perceptions born from the commercial and artistic promotion of a criminal lifestyle.”
