Big Boi Jumped In The Braves Broadcast Booth And Delivered An Incredible Strikeout Call
The Atlanta Braves gave out one of the all-time great bobbleheads on Tuesday night to fans that came to see them take on the Milwaukee Brewers, as they partnered with the mighty, mighty Outkast to create a bobblehead of Big Boi and Andre 3000 sitting in a Cadillac.

While Outkast night didnāt go the way they wanted to on the field, with the Braves losing 10-0, plenty of fans were still happy to collect a bobblehead of Two Dope Boyz (in a Cadillac). Unsurprisingly, the night did not feature a full Outkast reunion, as Andre 3000 rarely makes a public appearance (well, without his flute, anyway), but Big Boi was on site at Truist Park to represent for the Southās greatest rap duo and throw out the first pitch. He also joined the Braves broadcast booth in the third inning, with the Braves already down 6-0, but brought a bit of good mojo for the home team and delivered an electric call of a strikeout, telling the Brewers batter to āGo anā sit down somewhereā after chasing a high fastball.

I also really liked the āYAHā from Big Boi as the pitch got thrown. Itās always enjoyable when guests who pop in on sports broadcasts seem to genuinely be having fun (see: literally everything Snoop Dogg has been doing at the Olympics), and Big Boi brought a little extra flavor to the Braves booth.
Asake Teams Up With Travis Scott To Get āActiveā On His Latest āLungu Boyā Single
Asake experiences the best of American culture in his video for āActiveā featuring Travis Scott, going from riding horses to hanging out in a skate park. He also dances with a marching band, rages out on a car with a crowbar, and, of course, hits the strip club with Scott, seeing the best that the olā U.S. of A has to offer.
āActiveā is set to appear on the Nigerian starās newly announced album Lungu Boy, alongside collaborations with UK rap breakouts Central Cee and Stormzy, Brazilian singer-songwriter Ludmilla, and fellow Afropop vanguard Wizkid. Lungu Boy is Asakeās third album, arriving just a year after its predecessor Work Of Art.
Later this month, Asakeās set to go on his tour for Lungu Boy, hitting Washington, DC, Atlanta, Houston, Los Angeles, and New York, before hopping the pond for shows in Germany, the Netherlands, France, Ireland, and Australia.

Kanye West Tells Candace Owens That Beyonce Should Let Jay-Z Cheat In 2022 Interview
Kanye West is certainly no stranger to saying wild things, and his 2022 interview with Candace Owens was definitely not an exception. Owens finally unveiled the previously unreleased conversation earlier today, which was expectedly full of bizarre moments. As fans dissect it, a clip of one of Yeās more surprising comments is making its rounds online, and social media users canāt help but laugh. In the clip, Owens discusses Jay-Z when Ye interjects to give his own shocking take on the hitmaker. āI just think [Beyonce] needs to let him go get some p*ssy, seriously,ā he said.
As expected, the conservative commentator was baffled by Yeās claim, erupting into laughter as she asked him to elaborate. āGo to the DR or something,ā he added simply, though it did little to clear up Owensā confusion. X users are sounding off about the unhinged moment in Kurrcoās comments section, and agree that remarks like this could have something to do with Jay-Z and Yeās rocky relationship.

Candace Owens Is Baffled By Yeās Claim
āDefinition of no filter,ā one commenter notes. āYe is definitely cr*zy for saying that out of the blue like that,ā someone else writes. Others are insisting that this is some pretty bad advice, looking back on the whole āBecky with the good hairā debacle, Yeās own relationships, and more. Regardless, itās clear that Ye doesnāt have any issues speaking his mind, despite what critics have to say about it.
It looks like fans might be hearing even more from Ye soon too, as the Chicago-born artist also recently returned to Instagram. Itās unclear exactly why he decided to get back on the platform, though fans are already curious about what his first post will be. What do you think of Kanye West telling Candace Owens that Beyonce should let Jay-Z cheat in a resurfaced clip? What about her reaction to his claim? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Asake & Travis Scott Get āActiveā On Latest Single From The Afrobeats Starās Upcoming Album
Travis Scott is an artist known for crossing over into genres from foreign countries and thatās what heās doing here with Asake. The latter is a big name in the Nigerian Afrobeats space and their new single together, āActiveā, which is also their first, is going to be on Lungu Boy. That is Asakeās forthcoming fifth studio album and it will be available on streaming on August 9. It will feature a 15-song set, as well as other guest appearances from the likes of Central Cee, Stormzy, and LUDMILLA. The Cench collaboration, āWaveā, was released on June 20 and it serves as the lead single. That track has been blowing up, and it currently sits at over 21 million streams.
On āActiveā, Asake and Travis Scott are certainly doing just that over a lively and bouncy beat. Both offer up slick flows in their native languages. However, Scott does show love to Ikeja, the capital city of Lagos State, in his verse. āI just hopped off from the PJ, from the H to Ikeja (Uh)ā. However, after emitting tons of energy on the first half, the track slows down in the last quarter or so. It abruptly transitions into a spacey outro from MIKE DEAN and Asake caps that section off with some braggadocio. With already over a million views on YouTube, this track figures to be another hit for Asake, as well as a standout feature for La Flame in 2024.

Q Da Fool Returns With New Album āKing Georgeā
Maryland-based rapper Q Da Fool dropped a new album, called King George. The title references his real name, George J. Hundall III, but also represents how he feels about his abilities. The former Roc Nation signee left the label in 2021 after signing in 2018 and only releasing one album with them. Since leaving, Q Da Fool has released 2-3 albums per year, so the fact that King George is his first new release of 2024 at this point in the year is surprising. King George is 25 songs long and slightly over an hour in runtime. Additionally, the album features appearances from up-and-coming Michigan rapper Veeze, Bobson and Lil Mar.
Q Da Fool has had some legal issues in recent years. He served two years in prison, and after being released in early 2023, got arrested again for āinciting violence.ā The charge stemmed from the release of a song that some interpreted as a diss track towards DC rapper Ant Glizzy. Since then, heās been on probation, which he will be on for five years, as well as a seven-year suspended sentence. In a Rolling Stone profile ahead of the release of Art of Ambition, Q Da Fool was clear in his excitement about getting home and getting back to work. Since starting his career, Q Da Fool has built a strong fanbase early. Though heās been releasing music since 2015, he is only 27 years old. He still has the chance to be a star one day, but only time will tell. Until then, stream King George below.

Young Thug Falls Asleep During YSL RICO Trial: Watch
Young Thugās RICO trial continues, and after several months of legal proceedings, it looks like the YSL founder is worn out. In a new clip making its rounds online, heās even seen dozing off in the courtroom as his lawyer Brian Steel speaks to the judge. While fans find the clip amusing, they certainly canāt blame Young Thug for getting in some much-needed rest. After all, his first trial began in November of last year, and his retrial shows no signs of coming to a close any time soon.
Young Thug has also been behind bars since May of 2022, which surely hasnāt helped. ā106 days on trial Iād be tired too!ā one Instagram user writes in The Shade Roomās comments section. āHe said WRAP IT UP,ā someone else jokes.

Young Thug Looks Exhausted
Despite repeated requests for a speedy trial, itās been anything but so far. In fact, itās become the longest in Georgia history, which likely explains Young Thugās exhaustion. Just last month, a new judge was assigned to his case, following two othersā recusals. While the rapper and his lawyer were admittedly relieved to have someone new overseeing the trial, it seems to have caused even more delays. To make matters more frustrating, his latest bond request was denied late last month, meaning that heās no closer to freedom.
Fans continue to call for Young Thugās release and to raise concerns about how heās been treated throughout the trial. Recently, Donald Trump even appeared on Adin Rossā stream, where he accused District Attorney Fani Willis of treating him unfairly. āI would tell [Willis] sheās gotta treat these patriots that are being allā itās terrible. Theyāre going after them,ā he said. āHeās gotta be treated fairly.ā What do you think of Young Thug falling asleep in court? Can you blame him? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
