Woman Says That Kanye West “Telepathically” Told Her To Steal A Car
If you read this story, you may not hear of anything that’s wilder than this. According to The Neighborhood Talk, a woman is claiming that Kanye West spoke to her telepathically to steal a car. Her name is Ricki Smith, she’s 28, and she hails from Kentucky. This all went down yesterday morning in Evansville, August 30. Smith arrived near a store and when she did, she attempted to break into multiple vehicles in a parking lot across from a store. The man who owns the shop saw Smith’s suspicious behavior and went over to confront her.
She was able to get into a car on her second attempt and the man attempted to get her out, but to no avail. Then, another woman, who runs the same store as the man, got involved and yanked her out. The heroic woman who got Smith removed from the vehicle pressed charges because she was on her way to take her child to daycare, and they witnessed the debacle go down. Obviously, this is a wild story on its own, but the fact that Kanye West is somehow involved with this story really takes it over the top.

As we stated, the woman said that the rapper had told her to commit this crime telepathically. Outside of the rest of the story, this was even more of a reason for police to take Smith into custody. However, it’s worth noting that she was traveling to Evansville from Louisville when her car broke down due to it being in a crash. That means that Smith hitchhiked all the way to Evansville. It’s possible that Smith sustained some sort of injury that led her to claim these things about Kanye. She’s currently at Vanderburgh County Jail awaiting her charges, according to The Express Tribune.
What are your thoughts on this woman claiming that she speaks to Kanye West telepathically? Is this the wackiest thing you’ve ever heard someone say? Do you think it had to do with her getting into that accident beforehand? 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. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Chrisean Rock’s Prison Release Date Revealed
Chrisean Rock has dealt with her fair share of legal issues this year, but recently, her fans got a hopeful update. She was arrested in June of this year at one of Blueface’s court hearings. Reportedly, she had a warrant for alleged assault with a deadly weapon, and she was later sentenced to 30 days in a California jail. After that, she was extradited to Oklahoma, where she faces charges of “possession of marijuana with intent to distribute” and “possession of a controlled dangerous substance.”
Earlier this month, it was revealed that she could be facing up to eight years for her alleged crimes. As one would expect, her fans were heartbroken, particularly for the sake of her infant son. According to her Baddies co-star Natalie Nunn, however, she may be getting out far sooner than many expected.

Chrisean Rock Is Set To Be Released On September 9, According To Natalie Nunn
During a recent Instagram Live, Nunn claimed that Chrisean is set to be released on September 9. Obviously, this is great news for the controversial personality, as this is just a few days away. For now, this date is not confirmed, and fans will just have to wait and see what actually plays out in her case. Regardless, this is a far more positive update than they’ve heard previously.
As for the father of her child Blueface, he was handed a four-year prison sentence this month. He received credit for time served and must complete at least 33 percent of his sentence to be eligible for release. He predicts that he’ll be out in either March or April of 2025. What do you think of Chrisean Rock reportedly getting out of prison soon? What do you think she’ll do next? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Azealia Banks Randomly Eviscerates JT Over Her Music & Fashion
If you’re a big enough celebrity, then it’s almost guaranteed that Azealia Banks will either praise you or – as happens most often – drag you online. Moreover, she often goes on unprovoked rants about many superstars, which is completely fair and understandable when it’s just her unfiltered opinion. But the rapper can also puzzle her fans with her targets, and all this animosity for no reason hasn’t nurtured the healthiest online presence. Nevertheless, her latest target is JT, who faced a scathing rant from Banks on Twitter this week after she came across the Florida native’s remarks on Foxy Brown and her presence in fashion.
“[A TikTok about me] said, ‘We haven’t had a dark-skinned girl killing it in fashion since Foxy Brown,’” JT recalled during a recent interview with Essence. “It gave me the chills. It makes so much sense. It’s no shade to nobody else.” “JT… sis, you’re absolutely not killing it in fashion or music nor was foxy ever killing it in fashion,” Azealia Banks reacted. “Lil Kim is the alpha and the omega. And This boob job is the most unfashionable thing ever. Its f***ing horrible please undo it.

Azealia Banks’ Rant Against JT
“Plus quit with the dark skin s**t,” Azealia Banks went on concerning the former City Girl. “Like what the hell does that even mean anymore. Just because some gays are taking ur money to put you in neon green lipstick and blonde wigs doesn’t mean youre fashionable sis. the real fashion girls actually don’t see it for you, like at all. They think you look ‘heavy.’ Lol.” Perhaps we will never know if something else provoked this rant behind the scenes, but the most likely scenario is that she just woke up on the combative side of the bed and JT happened to be the target this time around.
Meanwhile, Azealia Banks doesn’t always just bash other celebrities. She also gives out her own stamp of approval, as she recently did by making her own remix of Tinashe’s “Nasty.” Sometimes this homage can come across as backhanded, but we can’t always assume that someone is hating. Hopefully we get more examples of admirable tributes instead of unprompted attacks.

50 Cent Reveals Why Feud With Rick Ross Will Never End
It’s no secret that 50 Cent and Rick Ross don’t get along, and according to Fif, their feud won’t be coming to an end anytime soon. He opened up about the longstanding beef during a recent appearance on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast with Gillie and Wallo, explaining why it seemingly never ends. He claims it’s because Ross won’t get the kind of attention he’s looking for without mentioning him, whereas he makes headlines regardless.
“Nothing else works for him,” he began. “Outside of mentioning me. When things get bad, he mentions me, it gets covered… I get covered across the board, they get covered on the hip-hop blogs. It is what it is.”

50 Cent Claims Rick Ross Won’t Get Covered Unless He Mentions Him
50 Cent continued, suggesting that Ross may not be as wealthy as he lets on. “What kind of rich n***a cut his own grass?” he wondered. “You tryna save money, n***a?” While he appears confident in his simple explanation, Ross has other ideas. He took to DJ Akademiks comments section on Instagram to throw some more shade. “Cuban Link,” he wrote alongside a broken heart emoji. For those who don’t recall, 50 Cent and Cuban Link dated for several years before breaking up a few months ago. In July, she was spotted with Travis Scott, prompting fans to wonder if things were heating up between them. Upon hearing the news, Ross wasted no time.
He took to his Instagram Story to clown 50 Cent, announcing that he’d be setting his Louis Vuitton shoes to the side for the time being in favor of Travis Scotts. What do you think of 50 Cent claiming that his feud with Rick Ross never ends because “nothing else works” for Rozay? Do you agree with him or not?

Ice Spice Fans Are Asking Her For More Variety Amid Lukewarm Reception To New Song Snippet
Ice Spice has a couple of big hits and a signature sound all her own, but it’s starting to tire out a lot of her core fanbase. Moreover, she recently shared a new song snippet with her die-hards on social media, and as you can see in the comments section of the Instagram post below, they aren’t super impressed. This is because it sounds very similar to these other tracks. Sure, every single Jersey/drill beat can’t always sound unique, but the Bronx femcee has a lot of potential to experiment with more flows and fittingly attack other styles of production.
In fact, Ice Spice fans prompted a lot of viral discussions around her as of late, one of these being her sudden weight loss. While some fans claim that she uses Ozempic, her recent post of her intense workout routine seems to discredit that or at least make it a less likely possibility. Either way, the 24-year-old faces more pressure than most in every aspect of her career. We can’t say that demands for her to switch up her sound aren’t invalid, but rarely before did young careers like these have so many backseat drivers clamoring to design its path forward.

Elsewhere, the supposed beef between Ice Spice and Latto continues to be a big part of their narratives on social media. “Um, is it true you got beef with Ice Spice?” 2 Chainz’s son hilariously asked the Atlanta femcee during their podcast episode. “Oh my God, here we go,” she answered. “Let me tell you something, Halo. I don’t got a problem with nobody ’cause beef is a different thing, you feel me? That’s a whole different type of conversation. I ain’t got no beef with nobody, I don’t got a problem with nobody for real. *laughs* I ain’t got no problem with nobody for real, for real, it ain’t like that.”
Meanwhile, other supposed feuds, such as falling out with Nicki Minaj, still define Ice Spice’s current proliferation online among fans. It’s a bit unfair and certainly unnecessary, but a reality nonetheless. We’ll see how she chooses to move forward and what her next moves will be after Y2K. Maybe this is the marker that will precede a new era with a new sound.

Blueface & Jaidyn Alexis Channel Chrisean Rock In New “Mommiana” Music Video
Since Blueface turned himself in for a probation violation back in January, fans haven’t heard much from the mother of his first two kids, Jaidyn Alexis. The rapper appears to have rekindled his romance with the mother of his third child Chrisean Rock, who’s also behind bars, instead. Earlier this month, he was handed a four-year prison sentence, but it doesn’t seem to have gotten in the way of Jaidyn’s musical career.
Today, she unveiled her new song “Mommiana” alongside an accompanying music video. The video was shared on YouTube via Blueface’s channel, and he shared a promotional snippet from it earlier today. Interestingly enough, he plays the role of a football player in the video and she plays a cheerleader. It’s unclear whether or not this was a direct nod to Chrisean’s endeavors in football, but fans certainly have their suspicions.

At the end of the video, Jaidyn calls for Blueface’s release. It was previously unclear where the two of them stood considering his reunion with Chrisean, but this appears to confirm that they’re on good terms. The song itself is reminiscent of Jaidyn’s other work like “Barbie,” featuring playful bars and backing vocals from Blueface. Fans are glad to see Jaidyn get back to her music, as it’s been several months since she’s dropped anything new.
In an Instagram Live after Blueface’s sentence was revealed, she clarified that while she’s not happy he’s away from their family for the time being, she still has to work to provide for them. “Sometimes y’all piss me off,” she explained. “How you so happy? B***h, I’m workin’. This is work. Talkin’ about I’m happy. You disgust me. Someone’s gotta do it … Sometimes I think y’all don’t realize that real life happens in real-time. And sometimes y’all d*mb as f**k. No shade at all.” What do you think of Jaidyn Alexis dropping a new track amid Blueface’s prison stay? What about her football-themed music video?
