Kid Capri Calls Out Travis Scott Over This Odd Fan Interaction

by

Travis Scott has one of the most die-hard fanbases in all of hip-hop, and if we’re being honest, across the entire music industry right now. Not only has he cemented this legacy through his music, but also through the cult of personality generated by his fashion forays, brand partnerships, and celebrity lifestyle. But this bubble can shield superstars from their strongest supporters, resulting in often contentious and dismissive fan interactions. For example, the iconic DJ Kid Capri recently called the “Active” MC for pushing a fan away who wanted an autograph. In a Wednesday (August 7) video, a young fan in France asked him for a picture and he pushed the boy’s arm away from him and said, “Don’t touch me.”

“Ayo, Travis Scott, when did we start being disrespectful to kids, bruh?” Kid Capri relayed online. “Little kid asked you for an autograph, [you] pushed his hand away, looked at him like he was the devil and just walked away from him. At one time, you would’ve wanted somebody to ask you for an autograph or ask you for a picture or whatever it is he asked you for.

Travis Scott’s Debated-Over Fan Interaction

“Celebs get where they get and then they forget,” Kid Capri continued concerning Travis Scott. “Dawg, like, ten people died at one of your concerts. I would try to be as humble as possible. I’m not saying it’s your fault, but I would try to be as humble as possible when it comes to the fans, bruh. They lift you up. This ain’t the first time I seen you do some s**t that was funny style. It’s a little kid, bruh, and it pisses me off to see that ’cause I come from signing every autograph, taking every picture, doing video drops for people. We would’ve wished people asked us for that when we wasn’t on.

Kid Capri’s Response

“I’m not at your level, but I’m at Kid Capri level and I respect the fans,” he concluded his message for Travis Scott. “That right there was crazy. I’m not saying you got to sign everybody’s thing or do what everybody say, but when it comes to little kids, they look at you as a superhero, bruh. That s**t right there was super, super corny.”

Chris Brown Fans Defend Victoria Monet After Backlash For Attending His Show

by

Whenever a celebrity shouts out or supports Chris Brown publicly, some fan backlash is sure to follow. We saw this example recently with Kehlani’s selfie with him given his abusive history, as fans dragged her for implicitly ignoring this stain on his career. But it’s also clear that these confirmed incidents (albeit with some subsequent allegations) happened long ago, and that both Breezy and his fanbase want to move on past these blemishes. For example, his die-hards recently blasted the haters for attacking Victoria Monét, who recently attended one of his shows. Regardless of where you fall on that spectrum, it’s clear that the conflict occurs between fans and detractors, not between the Virginia native and his relationships with other artists.

As such, it’s important to understand that the stardom of Chris Brown is a pretty unmovable object, and fan backlash is not quite the unstoppable force that they want it to be, for better or worse. Perhaps it would be more useful for fans to simply not engage with him online rather than demand others to drag him, and for hardcore supporters to understand and validate why people can’t rock with him like they do. After all, there is a lot more controversy to deal with, such as recent lawsuits over alleged backstage brawls. Yet prevailing narratives from over a decade ago continue to muddy more present and actionable issues at this point.

Nevertheless, we doubt that this controversy over Chris Brown will ever truly end, and fans will simply have to be steadfast in their belief. Elsewhere, his collaborator Lo’s murder case might develop in a more speedy fashion soon, as authorities captured his alleged murderer after being on the most wanted list. “I commend the men and women of the Marshals Service and our partners for the capture of Deshawn Davis,” U.S. Marshals Service Director Ronald L. Davis stated. “It is our hope that this apprehension brings justice to his victims and safety to the community.”

Meanwhile, this celebrity-supported backlash isn’t the only hot controversy that Chris Brown is dealing with. Alleged footage surfaced of him dancing on Diddy’s 50-foot bed. Their presumed bond has many wondering whether there’s any overlap when it comes to the Bad Boy mogul’s extensive list of allegations. We’ll see what happens, but it certainly isn’t a pretty look.

Drake’s Father Dennis Graham Goes Viral For Flaming Hot Cheetos Outfit

by

Drake has been having an interesting year and that isn’t exactly a good thing. Regardless, he is marching forward and it seems like he still has the support of close friends. Overall, there is certainly one person still in his corner and that would be his father, Dennis Graham. Graham has caught flack from fans, and even Drake’s rivals like Pusha T and Kendrick Lamar. However, he continues to be himself, and can be seen out and about doing his own thing on occasion.

According to DJ Akademiks, Graham was recently seen at a convenience store where he took a photo with Reese Youngn who recognized him. However, what makes this photo particularly interesting is the outfit that Dennis Graham has on. As you will see, he is wearing some sort of sweatsuit that is completely decked out in Flaming Hot Cheetos branding. Sure, it is a bit weird, but at the end of the day, you have to make yourself stand out, some way and somehow.

One has to wonder where he may have gotten such a jumpsuit. Perhaps he found it on a website like Wish or Temu. Maybe he even found it at a thrift store. Who knows, it could even be custom-made? At the end of the day, you have to applaud Dennis for trying something different, especially with everyone else dressing relatively the same on a daily basis.

Let us know what you think about this outfit from Dennis Graham, in the comments section down below. Would you go out in public and wear something that looks like this? Or do you believe that this is one of the worst outfits imaginable? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Bhad Bhabie & LeVaughn Shock Fans With Her Latest Confusing Instagram Post

by

Bhad Bhabie and her allegedly abusive boyfriend, LeVaughn, have sent fans on a frenzy while trying to figure out exactly what’s going on in their relationship. For those unaware, this began when security footage emerged of LeVaughn physically assaulting the rapper, as well as more close-up details about these scars. However, fans have reason to believe that the two moved on from this and will continue to be a couple, as she posted a picture on her Instagram Story of him nibbling her ear. This comes soon after another Bhabie post that claims that her boo (or ex-boo?) is looking for a “BBL Latina.”

Furthermore, there are a lot of mixed signals and examples of proof that have many fans feeling concerned for Bhad Bhabie. It’s important to note that LeVaughn denied any and all claims of abuse despite the seemingly damning security footage. “She did that for a reason, I ain’t do that. If I did that she wouldn’t be with me,” he claimed on social media. This prompted a lot of outrage from fans, who now have even more questions about what prompted this apparent reunion.

Bhad Bhabie’s Latest Concerning LeVaughn Post

“I love that man more than I love myself and its honestly really sad,” Bhad Bhabie had said of LeVaughn’s alleged abuse. “…I know the easy way out is to leave and that’s better said than done. This doesn’t happen this extreme often, but LV definitely has a problem. He’s going to get the help he needs… Right now there’s no room for mistakes.

“And he knows that,” Bhad Bhabie continued. “Who ever says they are there for me will b supportive of me no matter what I choose to do. Y’all know I give a mf hell but there’s no excuse for that at all what so ever. My point in sharing this wasn’t to attack him, it was for him to see what he does is wrong and to take accountability and make a REAL CHANGE.” This isn’t the first time that the two have confused fans with their post-accusations PDA. We’ll see in due time whether either of them provide an explanation.

Shedeur Sanders And Brother Shilo Accused Of Sliding In Same Girl’s DMs

by

On July 31, Colorado Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders, launched his own podcast, called 2Legendary. For the second episode, his brothers, teammate Shilo Sanders and older brother Deion Sanders, Jr., joined him. The episode has nearly 160,000 views since its release on August 6. The siblings discussed their father Deion Sanders, NFL compensation, and their passions off the field. They also took a second to laugh off a rumor that they go after the same girls.

At one point during the chat, Shedeur Sanders jokingly said: “This how them girls be on them podcast, ‘I really don’t know who that is that DM’d me. I really don’t know him.” After laughing, Deion Sanders Jr. took the joke as an opportunity to bring up a rumor surrounding his younger brothers and said, “Aye, speaking of girls saying that, Sanders’ kids [do] DM.” He quickly added “I’m just playing,” as Shilo Sanders said, “We don’t DM girls.” Referencing where the rumor started, he laughed and then continued, “I seen that, it was on a podcast just like this one.” While the brothers didn’t name names, it’s highly speculated that they were speaking about Winter Blanco from Bad Girls Club. During a separate podcast interview, Winter Blanco claimed that “two of the Sanders brothers was in my DMs at one point.”

Shedeur And Shilo Sanders DM Same Girl?

Shedeur Sanders and Shilo Sanders clearly deny those claims, and it is unlikely that any more will stem from this brief back-and-forth. Some fans did take the opportunity to mention that famous athletes often end up in relationships with the same women, so it would not be impossible to believe that those two spoke to her. 

Regardless, the top priority for the Sanders family will be to have a better on-field season than the last. The Colorado Buffaloes finished their first season under head coach Deion Sanders at 4-8. It was a noticeable improvement over the single win they mustered the season prior, but they will look to finish with a winning record at the very least. Shedeur Sanders is a potential first-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, but any off-field distractions could impact his play.

Elliott Wilson Cosigns DJ Akademiks’ Theory As To Why Nicki Minaj And Others Are Hating On Him

by

Elliott Wilson is one of hip-hop’s most celebrated media voices, but thanks to recent situations with Charlamagne Tha God and Drake, it’s clear that he’s also among the most hated-on. Nicki Minaj recently seemed to fuel this fire by insinuating that he’s too old to chase Internet headlines, and DJ Akademiks questioned why some people are so quick to dismiss him. “Why everybody hate Elliott Wilson, man?” Ak began his remarks, a clip of which Wilson posted on Twitter while saluting the streamer for his breakdown. “This has to be studied. So, this [Nicki Minaj rant] was about Elliott Wilson. Elliott Wilson, ironically, is 53. Recently we’ve seen Charlamagne get at him, Drake got at him, and now Nicki Minaj basically, in a roundabout way, is getting at him. I’m wondering why everybody hates Elliott Wilson so bad. I’m wondering if it’s a few things.

“Is it because of his age or is it because of his actions?” DJ Akademiks continued. “You know, again, I think Elliott’s kind of doing what a lot of other people are doing in media. Yeah, I really don’t know why people hate Elliott Wilson. I think he’s doing what the majority of media personalities are doing. One thing I’ll say is that it’s clearly working. Artists hope to control the media or control the thoughts of the media. And when you get artists upset at you, as long as you’re not operating in bad faith, you’re probably doing something right or you’re operating and giving your thoughts against the grain. Now, I think Elliott’s a little bit different, and I think this is why he’s been getting dragged by a lot of people. Yeah, he did an interview with these people.

DJ Akademiks Wonders Why Some Artists Hate Elliott Wilson

“Maybe that makes sense,” DJ Akademiks added. “Didn’t they [Elliott and Nicki] do a CRWN together? Oh, they did. Now it’s making a little bit more sense. Like, Elliott’s got those [Nicki Minaj and Drake] interviews, and I think people feel like he’s regressed. I had to come up talking about the artists ’cause them n***as ain’t want to talk to me. However, I think with Elliott, they looked at him like someone they respected. Someone who was a great journalist that would talk to them, and they feel like he’s now… I hate to use the word ‘regressed,’ but they feel like now he’s in the lane of, like, gossiping. That’s the only way I could size it up. Because I can’t tell why they all mad at him, you get what I mean?

“But I think these people look at him like, ‘Yo, I gave you an interview. I did an interview with you back in the day, like, yo, what’s going on?’” DJ Akademiks concluded. “Now, I don’t know what Elliott Wilson necessarily has said about Nicki Minaj recently or what he’s posted about her. However, it’s interesting to see how he’ll kind of take this and run with it. S**t, I think he’s in his villain arc. I think Drake said something about him, he went crazy on Drake. And listen, yo, Elliott reminds me of me when Big Ak had to come out, you feel what I’m saying? When everybody was playing with me. I think that’s the mode that Elliott Wilson is actually on. I’m wondering if he’s gonna address it.”
