Ezekiel Elliot To Reunite With The Cowboys
After spending a year away from the organization that drafted him, Ezekiel Elliot is headed back to the Cowboys. Elliott and the Dallas Cowboys are getting back together, but Zeke will accept a wage decrease this time. Elliott is coming back on a $3 million, one-year contract that includes a $2 million guarantee. Elliot signed a contract for up to $70 million with the Cowboys a few years ago, but now he is back in a bargain deal.
After being selected by the Cowboys with the fourth overall pick in the 2016 draft, Elliott played for them for the first seven seasons of his career. Despite having many fantastic seasons with Dallas, it appeared as though the Cowboys had found the running back’s replacement. The Cowboys selected running back Tony Pollard in the 2019 draft. As a result, Elliott was free to negotiate a one-year contract with the New England Patriots after the 2022 season. Elliot had 235 touches last year with the Pats, so clearly, he still has some gas left in the tank.

Ezekiel Elliot Back in Dallas on Reduced Deal
Owner and general manager Jerry Jones following Day 1 of the 2024 NFL Draft mentioned Ezekial Elliot’s possible return. He said, “We are keenly interested in seeing what the future might look like with Zeke.” Reportedly, communication between Zeke and the Cowboys has been going on for weeks. The deal has materialized over the past few days. The Cowboys did not select a running back in the 2024 draft, so that move has started to make sense. They were planning to bring Zeke back all along.
Given that the Cowboys selected no running back with any of their eight draft choices, Elliott’s return to the starting lineup in Dallas seems very certain. Zeke is a two-time rushing leader in the NFL and brought the Cowboys to a better level of success. Along with Dak Prescott, the Cowboys have enjoyed some regular-season success. Ultimately never going far in the playoffs. It’s a move that makes sense for both parties. Zeke is back home, and the Cowboys get a much-needed position filled with a bargain deal.

Taylor Bennett Drops Bouncy Banger “2 Much” With King Louie & Lala2muchhh
Chancellor Bennett, aka Chance the Rapper, has been enjoying quite the resurgence over the past week or so. The once beloved singer and spitter from Chicago, Illinois is slowly rebuilding his image after his debut album, The Big Day, tarnished it. He did so by beginning the rollout for his forthcoming mixtape, Star Line, with a new single “Buried Alive” over the weekend. Some feel it is still too late for him, but that will not be stopping him one bit. Perhaps his determination has inspired his younger brother, Taylor Bennett, to drop a banger for the summer called “2 Much.”
Born three years apart, Taylor also operates in the hip-hop space but has not grown the same fan base over quite a lengthy career. But he should gain some fans after “2 Much” with King Louie and Lala2muchhh. This track is pure fun from beginning to end, with the instrumental being extremely loose and reminiscent of Jersey club. Taylor does not pop in until the latter half of the track, but he does not get lost in the shuffle.

Meek Mill Theorizes That The Solar Eclipse Is Responsible For The Hate He’s Receiving Online
Meek Mill says that the hate he’s been receiving online might be the result of the recent solar eclipse that took place on April 8. While he couldn’t explain how the two are related, he noted that the backlash he’s been dealing with on the internet began ticking upwards shortly afterward. “The eclipse opened up the portal to everybody that was hating on you to be exposed!” he wrote on Twitter, over the weekend. “Black hatred level went up a few notches in 2024!”
In response, fans brought up the allegations made in Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones Jr.’s lawsuit against Diddy. A claim in the filing about Diddy allegedly having sexual relations with a rapper from Philadelphia prompted the rumors. “Nah bruh they not hating they just sayin u was smashin diddy,” one user replied. Another wrote: “Meek going to extreme levels to cope with the whole Diddy situation lol.”

50 Cent Shares AI Deepfake Video To Troll Diddy And Jay-Z
50 Cent’s trolling campaign against Diddy is extending to a 5th full month with no signs of slowing up. 50 was one of the first to start posting about the rap mogul all the way back in November of last year when the first viral lawsuit filed against him by Cassie hit the news. Since then he’s seemingly posted nearly daily about the wild events surrounding Diddy. That includes those only tangentially related like people who were named in the increasingly unbelievably Lil Rod lawsuit or found themselves caught up in the federal raids on Diddy’s properties.
Now Jay-Z is even being roped into the trolling. 50 shared an Ai-generated deep fake video poking fun at the two legendary rap figures. This isn’t the first time he’s dipped into the well of artificial intelligence in an attempt to make fun of Diddy, though it’s hard to say what exactly it actually accomplishes. This time he used a clip from the film New Jack City that had been edited to look like it featured Diddy and Hov. “This thing is bigger than Nino Brown. LOL New Jack Diddy” the post’s caption reads. It seems to imply that Jay-Z somehow knows about the alleged sex trafficking Diddy has been accused of. The Bad Boys mogul has repeatedly denied the allegations against him. Check out the newest post 50 made below.

“Views” By Drake Turns 8: “Still Here” Will Always Be The Legend’s Mantra
One thing about Drake is that he is always going to remain standing no matter what. Over the last month or so, that rings true, especially after Kendrick Lamar decided to choose violence on “Like That.” A lot of people feel that he is currently on top right now against everyone who checked him after his “Push Ups” response. Some have even gone as far as to say that Lamar will not be able to top him. Even if you are not the biggest fan of his, you have to admit that he always finds a way to maintain his stature in hip-hop. In fact, Drake even feels the same way on “Still Here.”
“Based on what I got, it’s hard to think that He don’t hear me / Hitting like that 30 on my jersey, man, I’m gifted,” Drake raps on the now eight-year-old track. Yes, Views, the fourth studio album from The Boy, has now hit that mark today. It remains at the top in terms of first week sales numbers, raking in an absurd 852,000 copies. Additionally, it still sits firmly at 80th on the Billboard Hot 200 chart, five spots up from last week. If you do the math, it has now been somewhere on the list for 414 weeks.

Relisten To “Still Here” By Drake
Furthermore, it is one of eight Drake projects to still be on somewhere on the chart. He might really be remembered as the Iron Man of hip-hop for the reasons we mentioned, but also for how his albums seem to always stand the test of time. His ability to craft easily accessible rap and pop crossovers are not skills that everyone has. He truly is the Michael Jackson of the genre.
What are your thoughts on “Still Here” by Drake? Is this the best song from Views, why or why not? Where do you rank this album amongst the rest of his discography and why? What songs do you revisit the most? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Drake. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on around the music world.
Quotable Lyrics:
Girls all in my bed and they don’t trip off first impressions
Girls all in your bed and they just ask a hundred questions
I can’t f*** with you no more cause you be actin’ extra
Do your favorite rapper like my son, like my son though
Nothing mutual about my funds, ’bout my funds though
All you n****s fightin’ over crumbs, where the bread at?

Amanda Seales Responds To Gilbert Arenas Saying She Is “Too Smart” To Date
The fallout from Amanda Seales’ Club Shay Shay interview with Shannon Sharpe is still coming. Seales made waves last week for her interview, where several subjects were talked about with countless reactions from fans. Seales has checked host Shannon Sharpe for attempting to downplay her experiences with racism. Sharpe’s performance in the interview drew criticism from viewers who said Sharpe seemed unempathetic to Seales throughout. Seales also took to Instagram to address Sharpe, dismissing her claims of having Autism. The interview was filled with controversy and content for fans to chew on.
Shannon Sharpe, seemingly unaffected by the criticism, discussed the interview with Chad Ochicinco and Gilbert Arenas. The trio delved into the relationship issues that Seales had candidly shared in the interview. Arenas, a former basketball player turned podcaster, offered his analysis on Seales’ dating life. Seales, not one to shy away from a challenge, responded to Arenas’ comments, sparking another round of discussion in the ongoing controversy.

Amanda Seales Responds To Gilbert Arenas’ Comments
Gilbert Arenas said of Amanda Seales not being married, “As educated as she is, there’s a standard of a man that she’s looking for. If they’re not on the same education level as her, she’s gonna look down on [him].” he continued, “If they’re more educated than her, then they’re talking down to her. So these are the type of women that will typically be single because they can’t find the equal partner to who they are.” Arenas’s dating analysis was interesting, but ultimately, it was just his personal opinion and not a larger commentary on the psychology of dating and marriage.
Amanda Seales responded to the comments on social media, saying, “Why is Gilbert Arenas even talking about me? I’m too smart to find a good man? That’s not even a thing. That’s an unfortunate statement to make.” She concluded, “I don’t even know what that’s trying to say about men. And the truth is I’m not trying to find a good man. A good man will find me. I’m talking to somebody right now.” Seales is used to being criticized because of her strong will and personality. Overall, Seales’ interview on Club Shay Shay seems to have been a confidence booster to the comedian and actor as she responds to all the naysayers.
