Shaboozey’s Jolly ‘Drink Don’t Need No Mix’ Video With BigXthaPlug Captures The Debauchery Of A Whiskey-Filled Night

by

Shaboozey and BigXthaPlug take over a dive bar for some drunken shenanigans in their “Drink Don’t Need No Mix” video. The video captures the debauchery as Shaboozey shoots pool and double fists a glass and a bottle of Jack Daniel’s. Bar fights, body shots, and borderline flashing punctuate the hedonistic action. It all looks like a fun night out and one humongous headache the next morning for at least one patron — but not Shaboozey, who departs with a pair of companions and a big grin at the camera.

“Drink Don’t Need No Mix” appears on Shaboozey’s new album Where I’ve Been, Isn’t Where I’m Going, which came out in May, punctuating the genre-jumping Nigerian Virginian’s precipitous rise to stardom over the past year. After appearing twice on Beyoncé’s personal Great American Songbook, Cowboy Carter, he released the J-Kwon homage “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” jumping to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 (and launching J-Kwon back into the limelight, incidentally).

In September, Shaboozey heads out on tour in support of the new album after playing Outside Lands festival in August. It’s safe to say he’s got plenty to celebrate; let’s just hope he drinks responsibly.

You can watch Shaboozey’s “Drink Don’t Need No Mix” video with BigXthaPlug above.

Ryan Garcia’s Ex Wife Granted Restraining Order Following Alleged Death Threats

by

The relationship between controversial boxer, Ryan Garcia, and his ex-wife, Andrea Velarde, continues to become more and more complex. According to a new report from TMZ Sports, a restraining order has been successfully admitted to her. This news comes a week after Andrea went to court to request one after the troubled star sent some life-threatening text messages. In the legal documents, she recounts a chilling night out a restaurant on July 19 with one of her siblings, her brother, Chris. Andrea then claims that Garcia showed up, caused a scene, then threatened both of them. They would go on to leave the establishment and her ex-husband would go on to follow her back home.

Andrea even says that Garcia stayed in his car for about 10 minutes in her driveway. However, it continues to get more disturbing from there. The documents also state that just two days later on July 21, Garcia was sending Andrea death threats, saying that he was going to put a hit out on Chris, her dad, and even his own sister, Demi. Some of the messages sound like they were plucked directly from a serial killer in horror movie. “I want to murder your brother… I can’t wait”, Garcia says. “Ima kill your bro slowly… Kill Demi too… Let’s do it… It will be fun lol”. Andrea replied in presumed horror to the latter, “You said your’e gonna kill Demi that’s so sad”.

Ryan Garcia’s Ex Has A Big Decision To Make

In terms of what the restraining order details are, Ryan cannot get within 100 yards of Andrea, their 2 kids, her brother, or her parents. Furthermore, he will have to move out of their home permanently remove any explicit photos or videos he may have of Andrea. However, what is perhaps even more concerning is that she is seemingly considering dropping the TRO. TMZ Sports says “they’ve talked and are committed to peacefully fixing their issues”. However, if she decides to keep it intact, Garcia’s hearing will be sometime next month.

What are your thoughts on Ryan Garcia receiving a restraining order from his ex-wife? Do you think she should/will keep it, why or why not? How do you think these conversations are going between Garcia and his ex? 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 Ryan Garcia. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the sports world.

50 Cent Details Diddy’s “Weird Energy” That Began His Issues With The Industry Mogul

by

50 Cent recently discussed his long-standing issues with Diddy for a new cover story with The Hollywood Reporter. In doing so, he revealed the moment he was no longer comfortable being around him. When the outlet asked about the intense trolling of the Bad Boy mogul he’s been doing as well as why he avoids so-called Diddy parties, 50 recalled one strange encounter between the two.

“He asked to take me shopping,” 50 remarked. “I thought that was the weirdest sh*t in the world because that might be something that a man says to a woman. And I’m just like, ‘Naw, I’m not f*cking with this weird energy or weird sh*t,’ coming off the way he was just moving. From that, I wasn’t comfortable around him.”

From there, 50 discussed his past relationship with Diddy and clarified that it was more of a work dynamic than a friendship. “It was mostly work. I wouldn’t call it a friendship because there wouldn’t be disappointment between us if we didn’t speak to each other,” he said. “[Diddy’s ex] Jennifer Lopez actually told him he should work with me as songwriter in the beginning. [H]e’d call me to write. I remember Diddy would call, and my son’s mom would answer, and I didn’t want to get on the phone like, ‘No, no, no.’ And she was like, ‘What the f*ck? We need money.’ She’s looking at me, like, ‘What? Why don’t you want to talk to him?’”

He continued: “I didn’t ever party or hang out with him. Puff is a businessperson; when [people call him] a producer, I see people that were taken advantage of, who produced things that he took from them. He got the credit. He’s not a producer. He’s been able to take advantage of the business and the creatives in it. I don’t have any interest in doing that. I actually fall under the creative. So I just didn’t take to hanging out with that.” Be on the lookout for further updates on 50 Cent as well as Diddy on HotNewHipHop.

Offset’s Alleged Cheating Scandal Reignites Cardi B Pregnancy Rumors

by

Earlier this week, Offset was spotted alongside his ex Pretty Redz at a casino, prompting rumors that he cheated on Cardi B. The two rappers broke up for a brief period at the end of last year, but since appear to have rekindled their romance. Offset took to Instagram Live recently to shut down any and all speculation, though it did little to quell social media users’ suspicions.

“People really need to do the research,” Offset wrote. “I’m at a public place gambling at a casino with a married 8 month pregnant woman wtf I look like being outside publicly cheating SMD!!!” His comment about pregnancy was about his ex, who’s currently expecting. The remark prompted some confusion among fans, however, and led some to believe that he was referring to Cardi B.

Rumors that the “Bodak Yellow” performer has a little one on the way have been floating around for a while, and this certainly didn’t help. She denied pregnancy speculation earlier this month, making it clear that she does not have another child on the way. “Hey Bardi are you perganant,” one fan asked, to which she replied, “No I’m not perganant.” As for Pretty Redz, she’s currently expecting her late husband’s child, not Offset’s.

These aren’t the only rumors plaguing the high-profile pair, however. Earlier this week, Cardi had to shut down speculation that she was “fighting to make payments” on her Atlanta mansion. According to her, “You bum btches wish.” What do you think of fans continuing to speculate that Cardi B is expecting? What about Offset being spotted at a casino with his ex recently? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

StubHub Is Being Sued For Hiding Junk Fees By The Washington, DC Attorney General

Ticket reselling platform StubHub is being sued by the Attorney General of Washington, DC for allegedly using hidden fees and deceptive pricing to increase its profits. According to Variety, Brian L. Schwalb, the AG of DC, filed the lawsuit today, claiming StubHub has been using “drip pricing” to generate over $115 million since 2015 — and that’s just in DC.

According to Variety, drip pricing is “the practice of advertising low prices that become inevitably inflated by hidden fees at the purchase point.” These “fulfillment and service” fees are never really explained, and even worse, StubHub uses a site timer to increase pressure on customers so they never have time to review these fees. If you’ve used the site, you’re likely familiar; a 10-minute timer appears when you search for tickets, giving a sense of urgency. “Hurry up and buy before someone else claims these,” it seems to imply, rushing customers through a series of unnecessary filler pages, adding extra steps that seemingly justify all those additional fees once it’s time to enter your credit card information.

The timer also prevents customers from shopping around at other sites and comparing prices, leading to paying way more as a result of added fees and no other options. The DC AG’s office says StubHub actually tested all-in pricing and drip pricing, comparing the results, and learning customers were more likely to buy the higher priced tickets if the fees were hidden until the end of the purchase, rather than included in the upfront pricing.

The lawsuit states, “For years, StubHub has illegally deceived District consumers through its convoluted junk fee scheme. StubHub lures consumers in by advertising a deceptively low price, forces them through a burdensome purchase process, and then finally reveals a total on the checkout page that is vastly higher than the originally advertised ticket price. This is no accident—StubHub intentionally hides the true price to boost profits at its customers’ expense. The District is home to one of the nation’s largest and most vibrant live entertainment scenes, and StubHub’s predatory tactics disproportionately harm District residents. That is why today we’re suing to end StubHub’s exploitative pricing scheme.”

StubHub isn’t the only ticketing platform to receive official scrutiny this year; in May, the US Justice Department sued Live Nation and Ticketmaster for monopolistic business practices, just about a year after Ticketmaster updated its own policy to show full prices upfront. “Junk fees” have been a point of emphasis of the current Presidential administration, a trend that can be expected to continue if Vice President Kamala Harris is elected this November.

Ray J & Dr. Umar Have A Heated Exchange Over Sukihana

by

Earlier this year, Sukihana and Ray J sparked rampant dating rumors when they were spotted exchanging luxury gifts, enjoying shopping high-end sprees together, and more. They since appear to have shut the speculation down, as Suki unveiled her new boyfriend last month. It seems as though she and Ray J were simply spending a lot of time together to promote their endeavors with Tronix Network, and were never anything more than collaborators.

Over the weekend, however, Suki was spotted alongside Dr. Umar in Miami. The two of them have quite a history, though it doesn’t look like there’s anything extracurricular going on between them either. Regardless, social media users were quick to point out that the duo looked surprisingly good as a couple. The link-up even prompted a heated response from Ray J, who slid into Dr. Umar’s DMs with a threatening message almost immediately.

“SUKI is my girl— STAND DOWN FAM,” he wrote. As expected, Dr. Umar didn’t take too kindly to Ray J’s demands and didn’t hesitate to fire back. “Good brother,” he began. “I don’t take orders from men. You do you and I’m going to do me. With that being said we can leave it right there Bruh…..” Clearly, neither Ray J nor Dr. Umar is willing to back off of Sukihana. As for the Baddies star, she’s yet to address the debacle.

Instead, Suki’s been hard at work promoting her new single “Suki Suki,” which she dropped last week. What do you think of Ray J sliding into Dr. Umar’s DMs with a heated message after he linked up with Sukihana in Miami? Are you surprised or not? What about Dr. Umar’s response to Ray J? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Kanye West Fans Are Highly Pessimistic Following The “VULTURES 2” Release Date Reveal

by

When Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign first announced the official release dates for the VULTURES trilogy, the hype was immediate and feverish. When VULTURES 1 hit streaming on February 10, a day after its initial date, fans were hopeful that this tandem would follow through on the schedule. If you remember, installment number two was supposed to drop on March 8, with volume three expected for April 5. Fast forward to July 31 and we still are sitting at just one third of the projects available. However, we all should have seen this coming as Ye’s track record of pushing back albums is nothing new. Its why fans are skeptical once more after Kanye West revealed the third release date for VULTURES 2 moments ago.

Apparently, the hip-hop community can expect it to be out this Friday, August 2. According to multiple reports, yeezy.com was and still is almost completely blank and the only page available on the site read, “ALL ORDERS FULFILLED VULTURES 2 COMING AUGUST 2ND”. Currently, though, that date is now gone. Instead, a timer shows the date and the time down to the millisecond with the “ALL ORDERS FULFILLED” phrase still remaining.

Kanye Fans Aren’t Believing Him Until They See “VULTURES 2” Online

Some have felt that the hype has died out quite a bit in the subsequent months. But with this newest announcement, there will certainly be a lot of fans tuning in whether it’s on the website, on streaming or both. However, as we said, the skepticism is real, as the majority of the reactions have been of non-belief. “I’ll believe this when I’m 5 songs deep into the album😭😭😭”, one fan quips. “August 2nd 2031”, someone else jokes. If VULTURES 2 does come, it will be competing with JPEGMAFIA and Killer Mike as well.

What are your thoughts on the fan’s reactions to Kanye West’s announcement of the VULTURES 2 release date? Are you on their side given the rapper’s track record? If it does drop, do you expect to be the best album of the weekend, why or why not? Or, will it at least be a stronger than VULTURES 1. 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 Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.
