Charlotte-based rapper DaBaby has pissed off a lot of people again— this time because of a video he posted where he shames a flight attendant for their hairstyle.

The video, which was allegedly posted by DaBaby on Instagram Stories, shows him and a group of people he was traveling with. The rapper shames a nearby flight attendant, calling her out for her messy hair. “We ain’t finna act like she ain’t just jump outta bed,” rudely wrote Baby as his caption. “We gone pay all that for the flight, you gone comb your hair,” he said out loud while she was walking by. “That’s the least you can do. Bottom line.”

The unnecessary harassment has caught DaBaby some flack online with many calling out the rapper and telling him that there was no productive use in shaming the flight attendant. “She’s there to do her job, not be your eye candy,” said one commenter. “This isn’t funny at all,” added another. “She is a working woman, you don’t know her and to comment on a woman’s appearance. You don’t know what she had going on this morning.”

The backlash seemingly didn’t bother DaBaby in the slightest. The rapper went on to perform for a packed concert venue in Orlando, Florida alongside Toosii, Stunna 4 Vegas, Rich Dunk, KayyKilo, Wisdom, and more. He was also recently presented with a whopping twenty-seven new plaques over the weekend, so this backlash likely isn’t bothering him too much.

When Kanye West unveiled the Yeezy Foam Runner just a couple of years ago, there weren’t very many people out there who thought it was a good idea. The shoe looks like a pair of crocs from outer space and depending on the shape of your foot, these could get pretty out of hand. However, fans eventually came around, and now, it is a shoe that constantly sells out as it only goes for $80 USD. New colorways have been introduced over the last few months and today, it was revealed that an all-red model will be hitting the market.

According to Yeezy Mafia, this new colorway is called “Vermillion” although we’re sure some people out there are going to try and call these the “Red Octobers.” It’s the Foam Runner shape everyone already knows except this time around, it is completely dressed from head to toe in some red materials. It’s a flashy offering and it’s also one that fans have been waiting for.

For now, the release has been set for October although official details should be coming soon. With this in mind, keep it locked to HNHH as we will be sure to bring you all of the latest updates.

Shaq was one of the best big men of his generation and as far as NBA players go, some people have Shaq in their Top 10. Needless to say, Shaq has seen and done it all, and he knows how to evaluate talent. Sometimes though, Shaq comes across as a bit of a hater and that is exactly what happened earlier in the season as he continuously took some shots at the likes of Rudy Gobert on the Utah Jazz.

Gobert had just signed a $200 million deal and it had Shaq lacing into Rudy for his lack of offensive production. However, during an episode of The Rex Chapman Show, Gobert admitted that he actually had no issues with Gobert. Instead, he’s actually a bit jealous of the player due to his massive salary.

“The reason why I bring up Rudy Gobert, people think I’m hating, it’s not,” Shaq said. “He’s a good big man, but I’m used to dealing with great big men. When I was coming up in high school, I already knew I couldn’t compete with the Patrick Ewings and the [David] Robinsons, they were great and they weren’t even making that much money. When I tell the story, people think, ‘Oh you’re just jealous!’ Yeah, I am jealous that he’s making $250 [million]. Yeah, I’ll say I’m jealous. However, for this game of ours, it can motivate a young kid today… All these guys that are watching, this is what motivates them.”

It’s surprising to hear Shaq be honest about this kind of jealousy although, in a way, you kind of have to admire it. Not to mention, Gobert and the Jazz are having an incredible season, which has forced Shaq to admit defeat.

Summer Walker does not trust the COVID-19 vaccine, warning her fans to stay away from people who have been vaccinated. She posted multiple direct messages that she has received from fans who claim they have had strange side effects from being near people who got the jab, including bleeding, bruising, spontaneous periods, and miscarriages.

“We’re all f*cked,” she wrote on her alternate Instagram page. “Stay the f*ck away from people who were vaccinated,” she co-signed, sharing a message from another skeptical anti-vaxxer who claimed people are getting these symptoms from simply being in close proximity to someone who got the shot, which scientifically makes no sense. You cannot get any symptoms from being close to somebody who had the vaccine.

“Damn all these f*cked up dm’s,” continued the prolific R&B singer. “Lol but I’m ‘dumb.’ Ppl kill with that ‘stop spreading harmful misinformation.’ Just cause a white man on cnn didn’t say it doesn’t mean it’s misinformation.” No, but world-renowned scientists are saying the vaccine is far less potentially harmful than catching COVID-19… are you trusting Summer Walker or thousands of scientists leading in their field across the world?

Last year, Summer Walker said the government was trying to “scare” people with information about the virus. She also theorized that the virus was created as a means to control the population.

There’s a reason why Funkmaster Flex deemed DaBaby to be the “hottest rapper in hip-hop,” period. Simply stated, the North Carolina artist puts numbers on the board. Case in point, a recent summary of the year’s top ten most-streamed rappers, DaBaby stood comfortably in sixth place, only a few-hundred-thousand under fifth-place Lil Durk. 

With such gargantuan numbers to his name, it’s no surprise to see his success reflected in RIAA certifications. Over the weekend, DaBaby saw an ample increase in his collection of gold and platinum plaques, receiving many directly from South Coast Music Group’s CEO Arnold Taylor during his recent performance at the DaBaby and Friends concert in Orlando, Florida.

“I love surprising my artist especially with monumental success, keep changing the culture Lil Bro and changing the game!!!” writes Taylor, sharing a video of the presentation on his Instagram page. DaBaby received plaques for his three latest solo albums Baby On Baby, KIRK and Blame It on Baby. In addition to the three projects, he also saw several singles hit platinum status, including “Baby Sitter,” “Goin Baby,” “Intro,” “Vibez” (2x platinum), “Toes” (2x platinum), “Bop” (3x platinum), “Suge” (4x platinum),” and “Rockstar” (5x platinum). 

In addition to the platinum haul, DaBaby was also presented with fourteen new gold plaques, with singles including “Find My Way,” “Walking Texas Ranger,” “Nasty,” and “Blind.” In total, DaBaby’s haul clocked in at an impressive twenty-seven new gold and platinum certifications, making him one of the game’s most commercially viable superstars by a wide margin. Check out the video of his best moment below, and show some love to DaBaby in the comments for this massive win. 

Chicago rapper Polo G has officially debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with his latest single “RAPSTAR.” He was projected to land at the top spot at the end of last week and Billboard has released the final tally, confirming that Polo G has his first-ever #1 record. 

This is a tremendous accomplishment for the 22-year-old artist, who did this without the help of a high-profile feature. Polo’s new song speaks about his newfound fame and wealth over a catchy ukelele-driven beat. It’s slated to appear on his upcoming album, presumably titled Hall Of Fame. The song beats out Lil Nas X’s “MONTERO (Call Me By Your Name),” which remains at #2 on the chart. It also had a better week than Silk Sonic’s “Leave The Door Open,” Justin Bieber’s “Peaches,” and the debuting “Kiss Me More” by Doja Cat and SZA.

Polo is proud of his latest accomplishment, saying this on Instagram: “It’s Crazy I really Manifested this sh*t. I got a long list of goals imma b scratchin off just this year alone…Only 52 ppl ever debuted @ #1 on the billboard hot 100 & I’m part of that group U can’t tell me I ain’t chosen I done really beat the odds fr From A Place where n***as like me b the 1st to die who woulda thought I’ll go #1….thank y’all Mann. I can’t stress that enough Ik I work hard asf & y’all work just as hard supporting me We gone keep goin up fr REAL #rapstar Album comin sooooonnnnnnn #Halloffame.”

Congratulations are in order for Polo G, who officially has his biggest song ever. Listen to “RAPSTAR” below and let us know if you think it’ll stay at #1 for a while.

In the song’s lyrics, the Chicago rapper refers to himself as “Tupac rebirthed,” which has prompted a discussion of sorts about his place in the game. With this debut on the Billboard Hot 100, it’s clear that Polo’s confidence isn’t for nothing.
