The Law of Attraction is practiced by millions worldwide and BRS Kash counts himself as one of the many who is practicing ways to attract success. The rapper is on the rise now that his “Throat Baby” viral hit has amassed over 50 million streams on YouTube alone, and recently, the Atlanta artist was featured on the cover of Rolling Out magazine. Inside, Kash spoke about using Law of Attraction a decade ago when he first set out with his Rap star dreams, and it so happens that what he wanted materialized.
“I practice the laws of attraction and meditation,” he says. “I’m really heavy into it. [But] what [people] don’t even know is 10 years ago — 2010 — I put my hand on the Bible [and] … I made a fake contract with Interscope, and I put it inside of a book. I still got the contract, and 10 years later to the date, I’m signed to Interscope.”
He explained that in 2015, he faced a tragic setback when his friend and manager was shot and killed. Kash shared that he was in a dark place and took time to grieve before re-entering the industry. “Even though it took me 10 years to get to right here today, I feel like those 10 years kind of prepared me for what’s going on right now,” he said. “I would change, of course, losing my best friend, but anything other than that, I wouldn’t change nothing in this process of where I’m at today.”

There has been a new debate going around the NBA as of late that centers around the career and legacy of Kobe Bryant. Recently, Kyrie Irving made the claim that the NBA should change its logo to Kobe’s silhouette. For years, the logo has been centered around Jerry West although the legendary basketball player has never much cared for his inclusion on the insignia.
Kyrie’s claims have led to a massive debate on Twitter with many fans wondering what kind of precedent this would set, especially if a player like Michael Jordan or Kareem Abdul-Jabbar were to die. Others are welcoming this potential change and even Vanessa Bryant has thrown her support behind it. Now, Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeanie Buss is also speaking out on the matter and as she said in the tweet below, she would love to see Kobe as the logo.
“I agree with Vanessa Bryant. Kobe set a standard and players agree too,” Buss said.
While the idea is picking up steam, it would still take a lot of deliberation before the NBA makes a real play. With Kyrie Irving behind the idea, there is a chance that the plan could snowball and if that happens, the NBA would have no choice but to capitulate.
Let us know in the comments below if you agree with Kyrie’s plan.
As if celebrities didn’t already have to worry about their protection and the safety of their teams enough, people are out here shooting dog walkers. Lady Gaga has been open about her love for animals, including her two pups Koji and Gustav. It came as a surprise earlier this week when news broke that Ryan Fischer, Lady Gaga’s dog walker, was assaulted and shot in the chest by perpetrators who stole the Grammy Award-winning singer’s pets. We previously reported that Gaga was in Rome at the time and upon learning about her stolen dogs, she offered a $500K reward for their return.
According to Page Six, Gaga is still overseas and has been communicating with Fischer and his family. The dog walker has reportedly been moved out of the ICU and is now in stable condition. Gaga’s father stated that Fischer should recover while the singer called Fischer a hero on Instagram as she made a public plea.
“My beloved dogs Koji and Gustav were taken in Hollywood two nights ago,” wrote Lady Gaga. “My heart is sick and I am praying my family will be whole again with an act of kindness. I will pay $500,000 for their safe return. Email [email protected] to contact us. Or, if you bought or found them unknowingly, the reward is the same. I continue to love you Ryan Fischer, you risked your life to fight for our family. You’re forever a hero.”

Almost every major network across the board is capitalizing on the reality television craze. From cooking to marriage to competition series to true crime to a celebrity’s homelife, billions of people worldwide tune in to watch strangers do just about anything. The voyeurism has proven to be lucrative for networks and production companies, as well as the stars that find their footing on these shows. Yet, after participating, many of those featured no longer want to be connected to reality TV, including Tamar Braxton who recently spoke out against WEtv’s Braxton Family Values.
She accused production of sharing intimate details of the sexual abuse as a child with her family members and lamented publicly that the network wouldn’t let him out of her contract. It’s reported that they’ve since parted ways, but Tamar isn’t the only celebrity to have issues with their portrayals, and the portrayal of Black people, on reality TV.
“When I first started speaking out about it no one believed me,” Tamar recently told Hollywood Unlocked. “Looking back at it, how could they? Because the depiction of me was ‘problematic,’ right? So, for me to come out and say that these things were actually, really going on, this was my experience, no one wanted to believe it. And I don’t think it’s really just that particular network. Can we actually sit here and name a positive Black reality television show? What’s the name of it?”
“It’s not really about the execs so much. It’s the fact that we as a people participate in it,” Tamar added. “We still sign up to do it because everybody wants as shot. Everybody wants to be famous. Everybody wants to have a platform where they can make money and I’m not knocking them, but we do have a responsibility to keep that narrative going and I just feel like we will sign up to be on TV at any cost. And then, as a people, we watch it.”
“We have to stop participating in it and that’s the bottom line.” Check out the clip of her interview below.

A Ma Maniére is one of the most well-known sneaker boutiques in all of the United States and with its central location placed in Atlanta, it has been able to secure some massive endorsements over the years. A Ma Maniére frequently does collaborations with the likes of Nike and Jordan Brand, and later this year, they will be dropping a brand new Air Jordan 3 that is certainly looking promising.
Official images for the shoe we released today, as you can see, A Ma Maniére has gone for a more neutral look. The upper is covered in white leather all while grey suede is placed on the toe box, laces, and back heel. Creamy beige is also found in the middle of the back heel tab where one can find Nike Air branding. Violet is then placed on the midsole, while finally, the tongue features an A Ma Maniére logo and a Jumpman insignia.
As it stands, this shoe does not have a release date so keep it locked to HNHH as we will be sure to bring you all of the latest updates pertaining to this sneaker. In the meantime, give us your thoughts on this collaboration, in the comments below.
Every American learns about the work of Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr in their school’s curriculum. But there are countless Civil Rights activists and revolutionaries left out of the picture. One such organizer is Fannie Lou Hamer, a Mississippi native who was instrumental in rallying support around the Voting Rights Act of 1964. Now, Hamer’s story is set to become a documentary — and Common has signed onto the project.
The biopic is titled God’s Long Summer, named after the book written by Charles Marsh. The film will follow Hamer’s story as an activist and an organizer, as well as touch on the violent setbacks she faced along the way. According to Billboard, the synopsis reads, “she fought against the Southern political establishment, systemic racism and misogyny by exercising her right to vote and fighting for the rights of others. Labeled as plain spoken and unfit to lead the movement, Hamer captivated the nation with her powerful voice, sheer will, and faith in her fight against leaders at the highest levels of state and federal government and within the Civil Rights Movement itself to help secure passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.”
About his decision to join the film project, Common said: “Fannie Lou Hamer is a revolutionary figure we should all know. Her story and impact is evidence that Black History IS American History. We have all benefited from her work and dedication. I feel blessed to be working with this incredible group of producers to bring this story to the screen.”
Charles McLaurin, a fellow Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee member and close friend of Hamer’s, serves as a story consultant for the film.
“It’s impossible to talk about voting rights in America and not include Mrs. Hamer,” McLaurin said. “Her story will serve as a reminder of our long history of struggle to secure voter rights for all citizens in this country, and, add her powerful voice to the current struggle to pass new voting rights legislation.”
Klay Thompson has been struggling with injuries over the past couple of seasons and as a result, he hasn’t been able to hit the court. Last year, Thompson missed the Warriors season with an ACL tear and in 2021, he is missing the season with an Achilles injury. This has been devastating to Klay and his teammates although he is as determined as ever to get back into the lineup and compete for a title.
Thompson’s father Mychal Thompson has been offering updates on his son and recently, he got to speak to reporters about where Thompson is in his rehab. As he explains, Thompson is limited in what he can do although he feels at home with his teammates.
“All that [Klay] can do right now is just pool therapy, walking, stuff like that,” Thompson said via NBC Sports. “He’s doing much better this year because he’s around the team. Being away from the team, you feel isolated, you don’t feel like you’re a part of it. Even though he’s not playing, just being on the bench and supporting the guys, he feels like he’s a part of it.”
While Thompson is still a long way from being healthy, Thompson’s determination should come as great news for Warriors fans who have been waiting on some good news. As Thompson continues to march through with rehab, we will continue to update you on his condition.
