NBA YoungBoy fans go incredibly hard for their GOAT, even if it means disrupting traffic or confusing some drivers on the road. Moreover, a video recently went viral of someone recording multiple stop signs in the rapper’s home city of Baton Rouge, Louisiana that had the “S” blacked out so it just read “TOP.” This is in reference to YB’s album of the same name, which continues to be one of his most popular and beloved projects within his community. We can’t say we blame his fans for being so passionate and overt with their praises, especially as he goes through some tough legal hurdles these days.
Elsewhere, though, YoungBoy reportedly welcomed his 12th child last year, although this is all pretty speculative at press time. “loud & wrong but carry on ..” his alleged baby mama tweeted. “def not looking for sympathy. that post was made last year when I was going through ppd & I wasn’t alone. I felt alone b/c of how sick I was during my pregnancy. throwing up everyday was just hard/draining tf. have a good day but stop coming for my character.” “and be f***ing fr leaking my own daughter ?” she said in a separate post. “FOR WHAT ? what would I f***ing gain from that ? if that was the case I would’ve just posted a picture of him holding her / or better yet when she was first born .. like I haven’t known this man for years that’s CRAZYY WORK !!”
Meanwhile, despite his house arrest situation in Utah, YoungBoy made a lot of money. “When you’ve made a hundred million dollars – and yes, it is reported that NBA YoungBoy made a hundred million dollars in 2023,” DJ Akademiks shared. “Now, I don’t know if y’all know this. But he made a hundred. Million. Dollars. I can tell you how it kind of breaks down. He sold part of his catalog, the small part he owned from Atlantic. He signed to… What was it, like, between a 40 or 60 million dollar deal with Capitol, and he did some other deal. Basically, it was a hundred million dollars. And trust me, yeah, it was a hundred. When a n***a make a hundred million dollars, house arrest… What y’all think house arrest looks like for a hundred million dollar n***a? Huh? Let me ask y’all. I won’t say nothing.”
Ak also speculated on why SWAT arrested YoungBoy in April when it could’ve just been regular police. “Remember I told you, he got a militia up there, right?” he theorized. “When they to go arrest him, they had to go with SWAT. All type of agencies because, again, not that this would happen, but technically, YB had enough firepower on that goddamn mountain to do a nice old standoff. Barricade or not, and probably would do decently in a shootout versus just regular police.”
A mutual friend of Kendrick Lamar and Playboi Carti’s has just given both fanbases exactly what the want, but precisely what they don’t need: hope. Moreover, after a fan proposed to Hitta that they should work together, he had the following to say: “Bet we can get this done when the time right most def.” For those unaware, he’s a longtime affiliate of both MCs, although this obviously isn’t 100% confirmation that his word is gospel. Still, it does contribute to wildly hyped new album rumors concerning these creatives, which have followed Carti for four years and Kendrick for two.
Of course, in Kendrick Lamar’s case, the hype for a new album looks very different thanks to his Drake battle and West Coast renaissance. For Playboi Carti, this might just be yet another attempt at a rollout, but it’s easily his most complete yet since Whole Lotta Red dropped in 2020. IG-only singles, massive collaborations, rare media appearances, and more keep fans foaming at the mouth with every new minuscule detail. All we can hope for concerning this Hitta update is that, if they ever do cross over, they execute it creatively, purposefully, and in an excitingly fresh way.
After all, both Kendrick Lamar and Playboi Carti are great artists with wildly different skill sets, albeit with some similarities here and there. Just think of K.Dot’s vocal dynamism on any number of cuts from TPAB, Mr. Morale, etc. The wild energy that Carti brings to the table on Die Lit and other projects (as well as his psychedelic croons and wails) aren’t that far off. Maybe these artists are losing their window to drop as fans grow more impatient, disillusioned, and disinterested. But a collab would certainly change that conversation, especially since the Atlanta rage icon was just removed from a recent Drake collab…
Meanwhile, Playboi Carti recently debuted new material with The Weeknd, and the Kendrick Lamar rumors still run rampant. We don’t know what a collab would really sound like or if it would even work in the first place. But both rappers have the creativity and artistic drive necessary to build bridges and make magic with like-minded individuals. If they can connect and land on any sort of common ground, the results could be a generational torch-passing from one vocal chameleon to another. Or just a straight-up banger; either is fine.
Latto’s social media team must be scrambling right now, because she’s currently subjected to a Twitter hack as of last night (Saturday, September 8). Moreover, these posts on the account include some shade towards SZA and Nicki Minaj and leaked personal information. From what we can gather from a lot of these tweets (most of which don’t have anything to do with the Atlanta femcee herself), it looks like this is someone trying to get back at their ex-partner, who’s a fan of her music. It’s all a pretty complicated situation and still a very unclear one, so we’ll see if the near future holds any updates.
Furthermore, Latto indicated via her Instagram Story that she was aware of the hack, and is probably trying her best to regain access. This adds to a pretty turbulent but nonetheless successful year for the Trapper of the Year. Between a new album, some combative bar trades with Ice Spice, and a whole lot of fan discussions, there was a lot to take in for 2024. She’s handled it all pretty well so far, as evidenced by a recent and hilarious interaction.
Latto appeared on 2 Chainz and his son Halo’s podcast, where the little one asked a pretty out-of-pocket question. “Um, is it true you got beef with Ice Spice?” “Oh my God, here we go,” the 25-year-old responded. “Halo, what in the world?!” his father asked comically. “Let me tell you something, Halo,” she elaborated. “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, even though Sugar Honey Iced Tea‘s commercial performance wasn’t the best, it’s still getting plenty of spins from fans. It’s momentum that Latto will likely maintain as the year closes out, whether she faces another hack or not. Let’s just hope that some password, IP, and VPN solutions are in the words for her and her team. And that whatever toxic relationship in the background of all this clears up.
The Air Jordan 4 has always been a favorite among fans, known for its bold look and comfortable fit. With this “Denim” edition, Jordan Brand is bringing a fresh twist to a timeless design. The mix of denim and gum rubber makes the sneaker perfect for both casual and streetwear styles. Although the release is over a year away, the anticipation is already building. Fans of the Air Jordan 4 are eager to add this unique colorway to their collections. With its stylish mix of materials and colors, the “Denim” Air Jordan 4 is sure to be a standout release when it finally hits the shelves.
The sneakers feature a clean gum rubber sole paired with a midsole in grey. Additionally, the uppers are crafted from premium denim featuring a classic shade of blue as well as a light grey. Further, it seems as though a gold detail is located on the laces.
Sneaker News reports that the Air Jordan 4 “Denim” will be released on September 30th, 2025. Also, the sneaker will have a retail price of $215 when it is released. Further, make sure to let us know what you think about these kicks in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the most recent updates and news from the sneaker community. We’ll keep you informed about the newest releases from top brands.
Last month, it was revealed that Cardi B filed for divorce from her husband Offset. Shortly after, she confirmed that she was expecting their third child together. The femcee shared photos from a stunning rooftop maternity shoot, penning a lengthy message to her baby-to-be. Yesterday, AllHipHop exclusively reported that she’s given birth, though this remains unconfirmed.
“She didn’t publicly announce [the pregnancy] until she was six or seven months,” a source reportedly told the outlet. According to them, it’s a girl, and her official birthday is September 7. Cardi B has yet to reveal whether or not there’s any truth to these rumors. During a recent livestream, however, she was seen at what some think is a hospital.
While some fans have been quick to shower Cardi with congratulatory messages, others aren’t convinced that the child has actually been born. “Congratulations on your blessing,” one commenter writes in Livebitez‘s comments section. “I don’t believe this one,” another claims. For now, the Bardigang will just have to wait until she or Offset announces something officially. Cardi’s rumored newborn is far from the only thing her fans have been waiting to hear more about, however.
The New York-born performer is also currently working on her eagerly awaited sophomore album. The project doesn’t have an official release date or title, though it’s expected to drop sometime this year. Earlier this week, Cardi even got fans speculating when she posted a cryptic photo featuring the number 11. Some think this was a hint it could drop in November, though this is also just a rumor at this point. What do you think of rumors floating around that Cardi B has given birth to her third child with Offset? What about her reaction to the rumors? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
At a recent show, Lil Yachty asked the crowd to spend a moment in silence to honor Juice WRLD’s memory. Most people in the crowd followed suit and paid their respects, although there were some rowdy folks that started to yell stuff out. Moreover, one of these exclamations even made him laugh before getting into his next song. “F**k KARRAHBOOO!” someone shouted, which made both the crowd and the Atlanta artist crack up. His reaction indicates that he’s still got some hard feelings for the former Concrete Boys affiliate… Or, alternatively, that he’s possibly laughing at this beef not being as deep as fans think behind the scenes.
But sadly, the very nasty and combative interactions between Lil Yachty and KARRAHBOOO suggest that the former option is the more likely one. For those unaware, the two started to clash about a month after news broke that she left the group. They accused each other of toxic behavior, with Yachty also claiming that he wrote the large majority of her material. As for KARRAH, she also hinted at there being some skeletons in his closet that relate to darker industry secrets. Of course, this is all mostly hearsay, so take it with a grain of salt.
They’ve kept throwing some shots back and forth at each other online, but things have mostly quieted down since a bit over a week ago. In fact, ironically enough, one of the last updates we got to this whole saga is that KARRAHBOOO sent shade Lil Yachty’s way during one of her recent concerts. She repeated the phrase “Who ain’t write it?” during one of her songs, addressing his ghostwriting allegations. Again, we doubt that these two will reconcile in the near future, although we can’t act too surprised if this was all for show.
Hopefully we’re wrong, and they realize that they can focus on their own endeavors without having to beef with each other. But with these other public interactions or statements in mind, an escalation isn’t out of the picture either. At least Lil Yachty and KARRAHBOOO don’t have much other beef beyond what’s happening with Concrete Boys. People thought Big Seansent some shots, but that was a false alarm.
Friday night saw Brooklyn’s Xanadu transformed into a hotspot for the future of hip-hop, as Billboard hosted its highly anticipated 2024 Hip-Hop LIVE concert. With a sold-out crowd in attendance, the event was a celebration of the next wave of talent that is rapidly climbing the industry’s charts and taking the world by storm.The evening featured a dynamic lineup of performances that showcased the best of what’s next in hip-hop. DJ Miss Milan kicked off the night, setting the tone for an energy-filled event. The spotlight then turned to the rising stars, including Texas sensation BigXthaPlug, Florida’s own Bossman Dlow, and the genre-blending headliner, Teezo Touchdown.
Hip-Hop LIVE Highlights:
BigXthaPlug: The Texas-born rapper, hailed as Amazon Music’s latest Breakthrough Artist, ignited the crowd with his opening performance. Fans chanted “The biggest, the largest!” as he took the stage, delivering a powerful set that included hits like “The Largest,” “Safehouse,” “Climate,” “Whip It,” “Levels,” and the Texas anthem “Texas,” a tribute to his roots.
Bossman Dlow: With the iconic Jaws theme song playing, Bossman Dlow hyped up the audience before diving into his viral track “Mr. Pot Scraper.” The rising Florida star kept the momentum going with performances of “Twerk Dat Ass (Twerk Song),” “Come Here,” “Piss Me Off,” “Talk My Shit,” and closed with “Finesse,” with the crowd echoing every word.
Teezo Touchdown: The headliner, known for his eclectic style, didn’t disappoint. Teezo Touchdown, dressed in a striking retro monochrome red outfit, captivated the audience as he took the stage with a microphone adorned with red roses. Reflecting on his recent “Rookie of the Year” award, which he received at Billboard’s R&B Hip-Hop Power Player Event the night before, Teezo remarked, “What a year it’s been…” He then delivered a high-energy set featuring his viral hits “Daylight,” “OK,” “You Thought,” “Impossible,” “Too Easy,” “MODERN JAM,” “Out of Respect,” and concluded the night with “Stranger,” leaving the crowd in awe.
Amazon Music’s Breakthrough Program: Championing New Talent
A major highlight of the night was Amazon Music’s dedication to nurturing emerging artists through its Breakthrough Program. BigXthaPlug’s standout performance was a testament to the program’s success, which provides artists with increased visibility, livestream performances, bespoke marketing activations, and more. By backing artists during the most crucial stages of their careers, Amazon Music’s Breakthrough Program is helping to shape the future of hip-hop.
Exclusive On-Site Experiences
Beyond the music, State Farm brought their Good Neighbor Marketplace to the event, featuring local, Black-owned small businesses and delivering exclusive experiences to fans on-site. Meanwhile, the event’s exclusive cognac sponsor, Rémy Martin, elevated the evening with signature cocktails made with 1738 Accord Royal, offering a curated bar experience that added a touch of luxury to the night.
The Hip-Hop LIVE concert followed Billboard’s annual R&B Hip-Hop Power Players Event, held on Thursday, September 5, at the Paradise Club at the Edition Hotel Times Square. The prestigious event gathered leaders from the R&B and hip-hop communities to celebrate the industry’s key power players, including Joey Bada$$ (Impact Award), Rachelle Jean-Louis (Executive of the Year), Teezo Touchdown (Rookie of the Year), Playboi Carti (R&B/Hip-Hop Artist of the Year), and Megan Thee Stallion (R&B/Hip-Hop Artist of the Year). The celebrations continue on Sunday, September 8, with Billboard’s R&B No. 1s Party, honoring the year’s biggest R&B chart-topping tracks.
The NFL season is finally upon us, and that means fans will spend their Sundays (and Thursday and Monday nights) locked in for the next four months. One of the great things about sports is that fandom is often the same no matter who you are, and you can find some of the biggest stars from the world of music, sports, and entertainment losing their mind right alongside normal folks.
Sure, they get some perks like sideline passes and luxury suites, but the rollercoaster of emotions is all the same. With that in mind, we wanted to go through all 32 teams to identify their biggest and most prominent celebrity fan.
Atlanta Falcons: Ludacris
With respect to Usher, 2 Chainz, Jeezy, T.I., and the many other Atlanta-based artists that are also Falcons fans, Ludacris gets the nod here by being not just a star in the world of music, but also of film thanks to his incredible work in the Fast & Furious franchise. Also, no one else other than Luda has ever rappelled from the rafters for a pregame performance at a Falcons game.
NO ONE, circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills, and no one is a more famous Bills supporter than the legendary Chris Berman. Boomer narrated the Bills hype video a year ago and while there are some other celebs and artists that are Bills fans, like Benny the Butcher, Berman gets the nod.
Carolina Panthers: Stephen Curry
One of the easiest picks on this list, Curry grew up in Charlotte and is by far the most well-known fan of the Panthers. He famously grew close to Cam Newton during his time as the franchise’s signal caller.
Chicago Bears: Barack Obama
Do we really need to explain this one? Obama is a well-documented Chicago sports fan, and even hosted the 1985 Chicago Bears at the White House during his time in the Oval Office.
Cincinnati Bengals: George Clooney
Despite being born on the other side of the Ohio River in Kentucky, Clooney grew up in and around Ohio, and even got a few tryouts with the Cincinnati Reds. He never tried out for the Bengals from what we can tell, but he loves them nonetheless.
Cleveland Browns: LeBron James
Some people may quibble with this, as James pretty openly loved the Cowboys earlier in his NBA career. But he’s since denounced Dallas and fully embraced his hometown team.
Dallas Cowboys: Jay-Z
Hov is from Brooklyn, but he’s not a fan of the Giants or the Jets. Instead, he’s the son of a big Cowboys fan, and as a result, he was raised to be a Cowboys fan.
Denver Broncos: Kate Hudson
While Hudson was born in California, she spent her childhood in Colorado, and as a result grew up a huge fan of the Broncos. As she’s explained, she was a big fan of Peyton Manning before he joined the team in 2012, and was awfully excited when he became the team’s signal caller.
Detroit Lions: Eminem
Like most Lions fans, Eminem has seen some stuff, and he’s been a fixture at their games for years, even before they built themselves up into a Super Bowl contender. Now, they’re one of the best teams in the NFL, and you can usually bet that he’s at Ford Field when they’re playing.
Green Bay Packers: Lil Wayne
Weezy’s rooting interests are famously all over the place. In the NFL, that means he supports the Green Bay Packers, to the point that he once did a spin on Wiz Khalifa’s “Black and Yellow” ahead of the Packers’ matchup with the Pittsbugh Steelers in the Super Bowl. You can probably guess this, but the title of that track: “Green and Yellow.”
Houston Texans: Paul Wall
Paul Wall loves all things Houston, which includes being the most prominent supporter of the most recent franchise to join the league — the Texans played their first game on Sept. 8, 2002, and less than 18 months later, The Iceman dropped his debut studio album, “Chick Magnet.”
Indianapolis Colts: Rob Lowe
No, this is not a Parks and Rec bit, and yes, he has a team and doesn’t just wear that NFL hat everywhere. Lowe loves the Colts, and famously sent some tweets back in 2012 about how he heard Peyton Manning was going to retire. This, of course, did not happen, but Manning got cut by the Colts not long after and freed up a path for him to join the Broncos.
Jacksonville Jaguars: Lil Duval
There are a handful of celebrities the internet will tell you have ties to the Jaguars (Bill Murray, somehow?) but no one is more vocal or visible about their Jags fandom than the comedian and artist who shares a name with the county they play in — where DUUUUVVVAAAALLLL is the rallying cry.
Kansas City Chiefs: Taylor Swift
Do we really have to explain this one? While folks like Rob Riggle and Paul Rudd are well-documented Chiefs fans, Swift has constantly been at their games since her relationship with Travis Kelce began. It’s gone pretty well for the Chiefs, which one the Super Bowl last year.
Las Vegas Raiders: Ice Cube
You can say other people on this list are more famous than Ice Cube, but you can’t say that anyone on here is more closely tied with a team than Cube is with the Raiders. He vocally and prominently supported the team during their time in Los Angeles in the 1980s and ’90s, and he’s been the most famous face of Raider Nation ever since.
There are a lot of celebrities that make their way to Rams games in L.A., but Lamar’s been around the team for some time and you’d be hard-pressed to find a bigger star in the world of music this year after his victory lap around Drake over the summer. Way back in 2016, Lamar and ScHoolboy Q went out to Rams training camp to run some routes and have some fun.
Miami Dolphins: DJ Khaled
The Miami-based artist and producer loves all of South Florida’s teams, and has some 1-of-1 Dolphins Jordan 11s to show his fandom.
I honestly don’t know which of them is the more famous one at this point, so I’ll just lump them together. Pats owner Robert Kraft has made friends with many celebrities, but no one has deeper ties to the Patriots than the Boston natives.
New Orleans Saints: Emeril Lagasse
With respect to Harry Connick Jr., in this house we stan the original celebrity chef, Emeril Lagasse. The New Orleans native makes a mean bowl of gumbo and loves his Saints.
New York Giants: Tracy Morgan
The Giants have a number of famous fans, as you’d expect for a team representing New York, but no one is a bigger fan of the G Men than comedian Tracy Morgan.
New York Jets: Adam Sandler
The Sandman loves his Jets, and to be honest, he’s a perfect avatar for Jets fandom. No one does over-the-top frustration on screen better than Sandler and that’s how every Jets fan feels every season.
Philadelphia Eagles: Bradley Cooper
There are a number of options here, from Philly rapper Meek Mill (although he loses some points for his friendship with Pats owner Robert Kraft) to Miles Teller, but Bradley Cooper gets the choice here. He’s become a rabid Eagles fan and said he’d rather see the Eagles win a Super Bowl than win an Oscar.
Pittsburgh Steelers: Snoop Dogg
It seems like Snoop has the incredible ability to support every team in every sport at all times. But he’s been a Steelers fan since the 1970s, dating back to when he’d watch them battle the Raiders on TV.
San Francisco 49ers: Kamala Harris
The Niners have a ton of prominent fans — E-40, Julia Roberts, Saweetie, Andy Samberg, etc. — but none of them are currently running for President of the United States. Kamala Harris, however, is, so she gets the nod here.
Seattle Seahawks: Will Ferrell
While he is a California native, Ferrell grew close to now-former Seahawks coach Pete Carroll during his time at USC. And if there are any questions about his bona fides as a Seattle fan, Ferrell answered them when he made clear that he is still upset they did not give the ball to Marshawn Lynch.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Hulk Hogan
The most famous fan of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is Hulk Hogan.
Tennessee Titans: Ed Sheeran
“How in the world did Ed Sheeran become a Tennessee Titans fan?” Well, good news! The answer to that is right here. The short version is he moved to Nashville when he came over to the States and adopted the Titans, but we can also pretend he was just a huge Steve McNair and Eddie George guy.
The Kobe 6 Protro is known for its performance-driven design, offering top-notch cushioning and support for players on the court. With this “All-Star 2.0” edition, Nike blends style with functionality, making it ideal for both collectors and athletes. The sail and black color combo adds a modern twist to the classic Kobe 6 silhouette. Releasing during the highly anticipated All-Star Weekend, the “All-Star 2.0” Kobe 6 Protro is expected to be a must-have. Fans of Kobe Bryant and sneaker enthusiasts alike will be eager to grab a pair of these iconic shoes when they hit the shelves next February.
The sneakers feature a grey rubber sole and a matching sail midsole. The uppers of the sneakers are comprised of sail material, featuring a star pattern found throughout the uppers. Also, the shoes have a black Nike Swoosh on the sides and the Kobe Bryant Mamba Mentality logo on the tongue.
Hypebeast reports that the Nike Kobe 6 Protro “All-Star 2.0” will be released on February 13th, 2025. Also, the retail price of the sneakers will be $190 when they are released. Further, make sure to let us know what you think about these kicks in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the most recent updates and news from the sneaker community.
