Reginald VelJohnson Shuts Down Rumor He Slept With Diddy: “Get A Life”

by

Earlier this year, comedian Luce Cannon alleged that he once walked in on Diddy having sex with none other than Family Matters star Reginald VelJohnson. Of course, the unfounded rumor spread like wildfire. It even prompted big reactions from the likes of 50 Cent, Charlamagne Tha God, Andrew Shulz, and more. According to VelJohnson, however, there’s absolutely zero truth to the story.

Recently, TMZ Hip Hop spotted him leaving Dancing with the Stars rehearsals in LA. They took the opportunity to ask him to weigh in on the rumor. He didn’t mince words, making it clear that he’s not a fan of the salacious headlines featuring his name. “That’s all bullsh*t,” he explained. “I don’t know that man, never met him before. I wish him well though.” As for what he had to say to those spreading the rumors, he told them all to “get a life.”

Reginald VelJohnson Confirms That Wild Diddy Rumors Are Total “Bullsh*t”

Of course, VelJohnson’s response comes shortly after Diddy was arrested in New York City following months of lawsuits and shocking allegations. He’s facing sex trafficking and racketeering charges, and recently, his attorney Marc Agnifilo confirmed that he plans to take the stand when the case goes to trial. “I don’t know that I could keep him off the stand,” Agnifilo says in the upcoming TMZ Studios documentary, The Downfall of Diddy: The Indictment. “I think he is very eager to tell his story and I think he will tell every part of his story, including what you see on the video. So I expect it’s going to be explained by the both of us.” 

Currently, the Bad Boy Records founder is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. What do you think of Reginald VelJohnson’s response to rumors that he slept with Diddy? Are you surprised that he seemed offended by them? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

In fact, she labeled it as a “very amazing phone call that I needed”. “I always felt like I was the underdog anyway. He wasn’t saying it out of malice or [to be] mean. That wasn’t about that. It was facts, really. But I was like, eh, OK, let me see. I’ma show you. It’s all good. And it went on to be fine”. Eve is certainly doing just swell, especially now that she has just sold her entire back catalog.

SZA Rocks A Wild Bug Prosthetic And Discusses Her ‘Toxic Relationship’ With Music On ‘Hot Ones’

by

The immediate headline from SZA’s Hot Ones episode that dropped today (September 26) is what’s going with (or “on,” more accurately) her face: She did the whole show in a facial prosthetic that makes her look like a bug.

SZA explained it at about 12 minutes into the episode, saying, “This one brings me so much peace of mind. It just… in the realm of, like, being a person is so daunting, and like being your own skin and […] just the freedom of… of yeah, for no other reason other than I’m just tired of being not a bug. It’s like, ‘What the f*ck?’ Wouldn’t you want to be a bug if you could be anything else?”

Meanwhile, starting at about six minutes into the video, SZA satisfied her curiosity about host Sean Evans. She asked about his relationship status and wondered why he’s not married, saying, “Do you feel like this is more exciting than any connection you have with the opposite sex?” With a smile, Evans explained how the show “meets me halfway all the time,” adding, “What I put into it, I get out of it.” He concluded by saying he has an “honest relationship” with Hot Ones.

SZA replied, “I f*ck with that. I wish I could say the same for music.” She continued, “It’s just not honest enough for me. I never know what’s happening. I be like, ‘I thought you liked this?’ And then they’re like, ‘No, stupid. We hate this! We want more of this,’ and it’s just so confusing. I’m just like, ‘What… does my boyfriend love me?’ It’s abusive, but it’s also very fulfilling and validating. I’m in a different type of relationship. You have a good thing.” She then agreed with Evans’ takeaway that SZA is in a “toxic relationship with music.”

SZA Gets Candid About Her Latest Breakup, Ex-Fiancé & More On “Hot Ones”

by

Recently, SZA appeared on First We Feast’s Hot Ones, where she opened up about her career, personal life, and more. She did all this while dressed up as a bug, telling host Sean Evans that she’s “just tired of being not a bug.” During the interview, the songstress was asked which songs were the most emotional for her to perform, which prompted her to make some revelations about her love life.

“‘Nobody Gets Me’ because my ex-fiancé hates me so much, and it’s so unfortunate,” she explained. “Every time I sing it, it’s like, ‘Damn, what the f*ck?’” SZA continued, adding that “Normal Girl,” “20 Something,” and “Drew Barrymore” are also emotional, comparing the latter to the feeling of seeing “the boy you like … f*ckin’ on some other girl” at a party.

SZA Talks Dating On Hot Ones

Elsewhere in the interview, SZA was asked to give viewers an update on what’s been going on in her life. “I’m going through a breakup, it’s hot as f*ck,” she revealed. The Grammy winner didn’t share much more than that about the current state of her dating life, though she did compare her career to a toxic relationship. According to her, the music industry has been tough to navigate, as it can be so unpredictable. She recalled being annoyed by the success of her track “Kill Bill,” as she found it “super easy” to write. “I never know what’s happening,” she described. “I be like, ‘I thought you liked this.’ Then they’re like, ‘No, st*pid, we hate this.’”

“It’s abusive, but it’s also very fulfilling and validating,” SZA added. “The toxic [relationships] are the most fun.” What do you think of SZA revealing that her former fiancé “hates” her on Hot Ones? What about her list of the most emotional songs to perform? Did it surprise you or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Macklemore Passionately Doubles Down On His “F*** America” Statement

by

Over this past weekend, Macklemore performed in his hometown of Seattle, Washington for a benefit concert. The Palestine Will Live Forever Festival collected proceeds that will eventually go to Pious Projects, HEAL Palestine, United Nations Relief and Works Agency, and the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund. If you have been keeping up with him lately, you know that he’s been extremely vocal about the Israel-Palestine conflict. After this he was scheduled to be the headliner at the first ever Neon City Festival, which is going to start in late November in Las Vegas. However, the event organizers have removed him from the roster, thanks to his bold statement at the first festival we mentioned. “F*** America”, he said to the Seattle faithful. It led to some applause at the site but was more controversial online.

Some sports franchises in Seattle have addressed it, with all of them stating how they are going to evaluate the situation. Since making that proclamation, Macklemore was silent. However, he’s recently broken his silence on it on Instagram, according to Billboard. He posted a lengthy and passionate series of paragraphs, essentially apologizing for not being too brash with his delivery. But in that same breath, he’s not too sorry for how he feels about how our country is handling the war in the Middle East. “My thoughts and feelings are not always expressed perfectly or politely. Sometimes I slip up and get caught in the moment. Saturday night was one of those times”, Macklemore starts off.

“Unfortunately, the historic event in my hometown that brought thousands of people together to raise awareness and money for the people of Palestine has become overshadowed by two words”. He goes on to voice how he’s been uncomfortable with the government’s stance, saying, “I have been in utter disbelief with how our government is showing up at this moment in history. I don’t think I’m alone. Some days I don’t know how to love something that is hurting others so much. I don’t think I’m alone”. Macklemore then ends off with, “I’ve slipped in front of the world before. I’m sure I’ll do it again. But they will not silence my voice, and they will not close my heart. I’ve lost endorsements, I’ve lost shows, I’ve lost business ties. I am still here, unwavering in my support for a Free Palestine. I care about humanity and this earth too much to turn back now”.

What are your thoughts on Macklemore defending his “f*** America” statement? Do you think he’s pushing it too much, why or why not? Will his message eventually lead to some sort of change? 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 Macklemore.
