Drake’s New Wax Figure Unveiled At Madame Tussauds New York

It’s no secret that Drake’s been making headlines a lot these days for various different reasons. The hitmaker was wrapped up in a heated lyrical battle with Kendrick Lamar in recent months, for one, which nearly everyone had an opinion on. This included Rick Ross, who was just beaten down by a few alleged Drake fans in Vancouver over the weekend. Drizzy has yet to officially address the debacle, though he did look relatively unbothered last night celebrating Canada Day alongside Kevin Durant.

Of course, his current virality makes him a perfect candidate for Madame Tussauds, recently prompting the NYC museum to unveil a brand-new Drake wax figure. Reportedly, they also just revamped the museum portion of the museum, which the unveiling was part of. He’s depicted wearing a khaki jacket and jeans, positioned alongside the likes of Beyonce, Harry Styles, and more.

Drake Wax Figure Sparks Debate

As expected, the new wax figure has prompted mixed reactions among social media users, who are weighing in under a post by Baller Alert. While some think the artist behind the portrayal nailed it, others think it could use some work. Many even argue that it more closely resembles other artists, like French Montana or Bad Bunny. “Aubrey Montana,” one fan jokes. “Close enough,” someone else says.

This is far from the first time one of Madame Tussauds’ figures sparked a debate among social media users, however. Earlier this month, they unveiled a wax figure of Rihanna, which left fans similarly split. Some insist that it’s a spitting image of the Fenty icon, while others think that something went terribly wrong. What do you think of Madame Tussauds New York unveiling a new Drake wax figure? How does it look? Did they nail it or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Roger Bonds Affirms That He Would Testify Against Diddy If The Court Summons Him

Diddy’s situation seemingly grows worse by the day, and new remarks from Roger Bonds indicate that he could contribute to his process of accountability if his accused crimes of sexual assault, abuse, and sex trafficking are all true. Moreover, Sean Combs’ former bodyguard spoke to DJ Vlad on VladTV about how he would testify against the Bad Boy mogul if the court subpoenas him. Vlad clarified that cooperation isn’t mandatory, but Bonds feels morally obliged to stand up against injustice and in defense of the women that his former employer has allegedly and, in the case of Cassie, definitely mistreated.

Furthermore, Roger Bonds expressed that he doesn’t care about folks calling him a “snitch” because his priorities now favor his family’s well-being and that of others instead of street codes. Vlad gave him his due respect for his efforts and principles, and he emphasized the crucial need to promote change against abhorrent and criminal behaviors and systems. In addition, Bonds had previously spoken about reaching out to one of Kim Porter’s friends about Diddy after her death. While he has his doubts, he believes that Combs truly loved her despite his alleged conflicts with her in their relationship.

Roger Bonds On Testifying Against Diddy

Meanwhile, this promise from Roger Bonds comes as Diddy tries to distract himself from everything that’s going on. Photographers recently spotted him white water rafting in Wyoming with some friends, and it became one of the few public sightings he faced since this whole scandal blew up. As such, we don’t really know that much about the situation or about what this movement looks like amid various accusations and lawsuits. But one thing’s for sure: each and every pop-out brings us one step closer to seeing how this will all end.

Elsewhere, the Combs family is trying to move on with their lives as well, with his twin daughters attending the BET Experience show. It’s definitely been a difficult process to undergo, especially under so much media scrutiny and theorizing. Maybe one day, there will be a legacy for them that goes beyond the works and alleged crimes of its patriarch. But not today.

Will Smith Was Loving Childish Gambino’s Joke About Him & Sam Smith

Will Smith appeared to enjoy Childish Gambino bringing him up during his speech at the BET Awards on Sunday night. In a new video circulating on social media, Smith can be seen watching along backstage as Gambino complains that he has more Grammys than the legendary entertainer, but fewer BET awards than Sam Smith. Gambino’s lone win came with Video of the Year for his hit song, “This is America,” in 2019.

“I’m really excited to be here, but I want to get some things on my chest first,” Gambino began. “This isn’t personal, but I just feel I should have more BET Awards. I’m serious. It’s the Black Entertainment Television Awards. How much more entertaining do I have to do?” He continued: “It’s just the math of the fact, because it doesn’t really make sense. I have more Grammys than Will Smith – which makes no sense – but I have the same amount of BET Awards as Sam Smith. Does that make sense to you guys? Me and Sam Smith are neck and neck, at the Black Entertainment Television…” Check out Smith’s response to the speech below.

Foolio’s Alleged Instagram Hacker Claims “The Game Just Begun”, Freaking Out Fans Again

Fans of Foolio continue to be disgusted, perplexed, and frightened, as his Instagram account remains active. Ever since the Florida rapper’s death was confirmed by his attorney on June 23, somehow someone has a hold of his social media account. The alleged hacker is still currently unknown and might be for a while as it is the internet after all. This suspicious activity was first noticed on June 28. The mystery person behind the keyboard left some “🗑” emojis under Yungeen Ace’s second distasteful diss track, “Game Over”. The comment has since been deleted, but it prompted the latter to respond. “You still f***ing with me dude 😂😂 I love you 4eva,” he wrote probably sarcastically. Then, just hours later, a short video was shared to Foolio’s IG, asking people to follow a separate account. That action has also been removed.

Two days would pass before the next creepy stunt. Via an IG Story, the alleged hacker shared a paystub of some sort showing that “Foolio” made $250,000 off a promo. Finally, just yesterday, an unnerving message was sent out along with a clip from a No Jumper interview. In it, the hosts were wanting to see him again and the MC promised they would see him again because he is a “demigod”. That led to the caption reading, “I’ll Never Die I’m a DemiGod 😈”. So, yes, it is safe to say that things are beyond weird right now for his fans, but also for his still grieving family and friends who have to suffer through this.

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

Unfortunately, it seems that until this person is caught, the unsettling actions are going to continue. In less than 24 hours, a disturbing clip from an older WWE wrestling match was reposted on his page, as well as video of him rapping in the car. The former is also on his Story and it was captioned, “My grandma does VOODOO”. However, the post to people’s feed had this message underneath, “He’s here, going to shock the world when the time is right. Game over?? The game just begun”. That was also axed from Foolio’s page, but that may be the most disturbing message yet. Fans share a similar sentiment with one person adding, “Boi this some spooky a** s*** ✌🏾”.

What are your thoughts on someone still running Foolio’s Instagram account? Who do you think is posting on it? Should Instagram personally deactivate his page going forward? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Foolio. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Jeremih Breaks His Silence On PARTYNEXTDOOR Drama

PARTYNEXTDOOR sent folks in the R&B world into befuddled panic when he dissed Jeremih, Chris Brown, and Bryson Tiller in some tweet-and-deletes. Moreover, he seemed to take issue with the trio featuring his ex-girlfriend in their music video for “Wait On It,” and it took many fans by surprise. It’s kind of unclear where the situation stands right now because the OVO affiliate walked back on this animosity, but its targets are still reacting and responding to this development. For example, during a recent conversation with DJ Carisma for Rolling Loud, Jeremih responded to PARTY’s attacks and seemed to take the whole thing pretty lightly.

“I ain’t got nothing bad to say about PARTY, you know what I’m saying?” Jeremih began his remarks. “We all have a bad night. Right now, like I said, ‘Wait On It,’ it is what it is, and she is who she is. Tell her I said ‘What up?’ at the end of the day. So… As I did. I couldn’t wait. Yeah, I think he beat us to making somebody cry, the mirror beat us. So he came back at us, to me, at least.

Jeremih Has “Nothing Bad To Say” About PARTYNEXTDOOR

“Yeah, he shook it up, for sure,” Jeremih continued. “He shook it up, man. But I’m not against fool, and it is what it is, it ain’t what it ain’t. You know, I popped out at his show last week, so I really was lost, you know what I’m saying? Out here, over the weekend, I was super lost. Yeah, that’s why I was like, ‘Huh?’ You know what I’m saying? Like I said, we all have a bad night. I’ll say that, you know. Too much birthday sex can go the wrong way, you know?”

Meanwhile, Chris Brown demanded a public apology from PARTYNEXTDOOR after his since-deleted remarks. Jeremih didn’t take this road necessarily, but it’s clear that everyone involved felt quite blindsided by these tweets. It’s a shame considering how well these artists would likely work together on a track. Alas, we’ll see if the future holds a full reconciliation or if this will cause a big shift in all their relationships.

Young Thug YSL RICO Trial Delayed Indefinitely Amid Judge Controversy

young thug 745x565

Several reports have confirmed that the Young Thug YSL Trial has been indefinitely delayed due to drama involving Judge Ural Glanville, who is now trying to excuse himself from the case.

Due to the secret meeting between the judge, a witness and prosecutors, the trial has stopped and it will be determined if Judge Glanville acted inappropriately.

Glanville agreed that the trial will not proceed until another judge decides whether he should recuse himself from the trial over alleged misconduct.

The Fulton County judge got into a publicized argument with Thug’s attorney Brian Steel over the meeting with witness Kenneth Copeland, which Steel said was unconstitutional.

See the courtroom footage of the court delay announcement HERE

Glanville has now agreed to make the transcripts from his meeting with the witness and prosecutors public.

Steel recently filed a motion to dismiss Glanville from the trial, alleging he had an “unlawful, improper ex parte meeting” with Copeland who had previously been granted immunity by the prosecution in exchange for his testimony.

Steel claims that he and Thug received no notice of the meeting and that it violated the rapper’s “constitutional and statutory rights, including the right to due process, a fair trial, a fair tribunal, ethical prosecutors and the right to be present at every critical stage of the proceedings under the Georgia Constitution.”
