Fans Believe Megan Thee Stallion Is Taunting Nicki Minaj With Her Roc Nation Affiliation Amidst Their Ongoing Beef

The countless references to anime in her music make it abundantly clear that Megan Thee Stallion is a manga nerd (an otaku, if you will). But yesterday (February 1), the “Cobra” rapper showed off her deep Rolodex of reality television moments. While on the set of a secret project, Megan quickly caught up with her biggest Hottie fans on the internet radio broadcast app, Stationhead.

During the stream, Megan revealed that she’s finding herself in a much healthier mental space since the tumultuous obstacles she faced last year. After revealing that she’s working on a documentary about her life, she went on to say that she’s gotten reprimanded for giving away too much content online. However, users online believe that Megan subtly taunted her foe, Nicki Minaj, in the closing moments by leaning into her Roc Nation affiliation.

“Don’t make me call Porsha,” Megan joked about her management team getting reinforcements to stop her from oversharing. The reference to Bravo’s Real Housewives Of Atlanta then turned into, “Don’t make me call Roc Nation.”

After the clip hit social media, users online took the line to be shade toward Minaj based on her recent jabs at the company. On January 29, during the height of their (“Hiss” versus “Big Foot“) sparring season, Minaj slammed Roc Nation on X (formerly Twitter) for promoting Megan’s diss record toward her.

“Spending so much money,” she wrote. “But she’s the lil broke independent artist. Desiree, you gotta let it go, baby. The world knows she’s ass & can’t rap. Stop f*cking trying to make fetch happen. #BigFOOT. I just put out a song with no promo, no video, and it’s already #2. ”

Is it shade? It very well could be, and given Megan’s clever use of double entendres (that recently almost led to a potential lawsuit), you certainly can’t put it past her.

T-Pain Is Ready To Square Up Against ‘Sesame Street’ Assailant Larry David And Defend Elmo’s Honor

Larry David Elmo Today
Today

Elmo, most people would contest, is among the more agreeable beings in entertainment history. For decades, the Sesame Street star has taught children about sharing, spelling, and other important things kids should know about as they grow up, all in a fun and upbeat demeanor. Basically, you don’t really hear about Elmo having enemies.

In a surprising (but also somewhat not surprising) turn of events, though, Elmo was recently attacked on live television by Larry David. Elmo and David were both appearing on Today yesterday (February 1), and during Elmo’s segment, David came out of nowhere, grabbed Elmo’s face, and started shaking it violently. Well, Elmo has found himself an ally in T-Pain.

First, here’s a video of the incident, as well as a fantastically executed artistic rendering for good measure.

T-Pain saw that and couldn’t believe what he was watching, tweeting, “I know I didn’t just see my mans @elmo assaulted on live TV.” He didn’t stop there, as he shared the tweet on his Instagram Story (as People notes) and added, “@Elmo say the word.” The apparent implication there is that should Elmo ask, T-Pain would eagerly square up and throw hands at the Curb Your Enthusiasm star.

David addressed the Elmo incident on Late Night With Seth Meyers, and he seemed far from remorseful. He explained that he was getting annoyed by Elmo talking about mental health and concluded, “And you know what? I would do it again!”

Stephen A. Smith Incensed By Viewer Who Slept With His Friend’s Girl

by

Stephen A. Smith went on a rabid rant on The Stephen A. Smith Show after a viewer asked if he should come clean to his friend about sleeping with his girl while they were together. “Why don’t you go into the mirror and smash your own damn forehead into the mirror. Actually not the mirror, a brick wall. How bout you find a way to lift up your own arm and slap the living sh-t out of yourself.” However, Smith wasn’t finished eviscerating the viewer. “You say that’s your friend and you’re doing his girl? Really? Should you tell him? If she wants you that damn much why isn’t she leaving him,” Smith said.

Of course, Smith has previously expressed some pretty fundamental views on relationships. In September 2023, Smith said he was happy to be single. “I’m 55 years old. I’ve never been married and I’m happy about it. Now, one could easily surmise that a past rife with some degree of promiscuity might, dare I say, contribute to my desire to be single. But that’s not the reason.” Furthermore, Smith used then-recent drama to further explain his case. “I am not upset about being single. Jeezy, how he filed for divorce from his wife, Jeannie Mai, after only two years, former friends are saying she’s after his money,” Smith ranted.

Stephen A. Smith Has No Time For Rest Rule Complaints

Meanwhile, Smith also went on an impassioned rant this week about NBA players complaining about the league’s “rest rule”. “If you’re unhappy with this rule, blame some of your contemporaries. What do you expect the National Basketball Association to do when there are some players sitting out games to avoid getting injured? They’re not injured, they are avoiding getting injured!” Smith ranted on First Take.

In particular, Smith was responded to comments from Tyrese Haliburton, who recently sounded off about the rule. “I think it’s a stupid rule, like plenty of the guys in the league, but this is what the owners want. So as players, we gotta do our job and play in 65 games if we’re able to. So, that’s what I gotta do, take care of my body to be able to play in those games, and I think you’re seeing other players in the league kind of face the same thing. As long as the owners are happy,” Haliburton told The Athletic. Haliburton could lose out on up to $40 million if he is deemed ineligible for the All-NBA Team nod is likely heading for.

Chrisean Rock Cuddles Up With Chrisean Jr. Amid Rampant Speculation Around Baby’s Health

by

Chrisean Rock has been in the news a whole lot as of late. Overall, it has mostly been due to her child with Blueface, Chrisean Jr. Furthermore, she also got a tattoo of Blueface’s mugshot on her cheek. Ultimately, this got her a whole lot of flack online. However, it was nothing compared to the scrutiny she faced earlier this week thanks to a screenshot of her baby that went viral. It led to people accusing her of giving her child Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Moreover, it led to people posting photos of her drinking during her pregnancy.

Needless to say, there has been a whole lot of drama surrounding the reality star. Now, however, she is looking to prove that she has those motherly instincts. In the image below, you can see Chrisean cuddling with her child on her Instagram story.

NBA YoungBoy Murders The Beat On “BNYX Da Reaper”

by

NBA YoungBoy is one of the most controversial rappers of the last 10 years or so. The Baton Rouge, Lousiana MC has maybe the most passionate and protective fan base out of any hip-hop artist going right now. But, if you venture just outside that circle of people, there are haters o’ plenty. The reason why he is so polarizing is due to his actions and comments online.

Recently, NBA YoungBoy was torched for his very questionable parenting skills. Additionally, he is almost always tangled up in some sort of beef. There is rarely a time when something is not amiss. NBA’s fans are separating the person from the artist it seems and that is okay.

Listen To “BNYX Da Reaper” By NBA YoungBoy & BNYX

Another reason why some might not like him that much either is due to the amount of music he pumps out each year. It does not help when the quality is not always there either. But, that is not stopping YoungBoy from slowing down one bit. He is back with a first-time collaboration with rap’s next-up producer, BNYX. If the beat on “BNYX Da Reaper” sounds familiar, that is because it is a rehash of “Who Wit Me.” That song landed on Quavo’s sophomore solo record Rocket Power.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “BNYX Da Reaper,” by NBA YoungBoy and BNYX? Is this the better version of “Who Wit Me” by Quavo, why or why not? Did YoungBoy do this beat justice? How many albums will he drop this year? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding NBA YoungBoy and BNYX. Finally, stay with us for the most informative song posts throughout the week.

Quotable Lyrics:

Came with a spitter, then hit real clear
Black stripes, on all my nails
Play with me, n****, you’ll die right there
Doin’ all that runnin’, n**** stand right here
Knife tucked, dummy get cut from ear-ear
Motherf****r comin’, n****, know that I been here

Nick Saban Golfs With 50 Cent And Travis Scott

by

Nick Saban is clearly enjoying retirement as he teamed up with 50 Cent and Travis Scott at a charity golf event last weekend. Saban hit the links in Palm Beach as part of the Mr. October Celebrity Golf Classic. Hosted by former MLB superstar Reggie Jackson (Mr. October), Saban’s pairing for the event was Fif and Scott. The event raised over $1M for Jackson’s foundation, which helps acquire STEM funding.

Saban is an avid golfer and has been throughout his tenured coaching career. He is neighbors with Tiger Woods after purchasing a property in Jupiter, Florida last year. Furthermore, he is also the partial owner of the Waterall Club, a private golf community in Clayton, Georgia.

Nick Saban Says Retirement Was Not Due to NIL

Meanwhile, Saban, who is less than a month removed from his shock retirement, has insisted that he did not retire due to NIL. “Don’t make it about that. It’s not about that. To me, if you choose to coach, you don’t need to be complaining about all that stuff. You need to adjust to it and adapt to it and do the best you can under the circumstances and not complain about it,” Saban told ESPN. While Saban had previously expressed doubts about NIL, namely that is could create a “pay to play” system, he also acknowledged that it was the future of college athletes.

First reported by ESPN, Saban announced his retirement on January 10. Saban hung up his headset after 17 seasons with the Crimson Tide. Saban led Alabama to six national titles and finished the 2023 season with a Rose Bowl loss to eventual champions Michigan. Saban’s coaching journey began all the way back in 1973 as a graduate assistant at Kent State. His first head coaching role was at Toledo in 1990. He would hold the same position at Michigan State, LSU, and the Miami Dolphins before coming to Alabama in 2007. He immediately turned around an ailing program, turning them into them into the powerhouse they are today.
