Lil Nas X’s Upcoming ‘Satan Shoes’ Have Earned A Divided Reaction From Fans And Confusion From Critics

Lil Nas X has left the internet in a bit of a frenzy this past weekend thanks to his “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” video. The images of hell and the singer’s interaction with a devilish character in the visual have left fans with mixed reactions toward it. However, that’s only half of it as a collaboration has made some even more upset because of its satanic inspiration.

Lil Nas also announced an upcoming shoe collaboration with viral company MSCHF. The two have partnered for limited edition customized Nike Air Max 97s that have been dubbed as “Satan Shoes.” Set for a March 29 arrival, the shoes will contain a drop of human blood mixed with ink inside its sole and only 666 pairs will be available at the price of $1,018.

For what it’s worth, the shoe collab is just a flip of Air Max 97s that MSCHF released back in 2019. The “Jesus Shoes” were filled with 60cc of Holy Water from the Jordan River. In addition to that, as some have mistaken, the Satan Shoes are not the result of a partnership with Nike. A spokesperson for the brand denied the existence of a collab with the shoes saying, “Nike did not release nor design these shoes.”

What actually happens here is MSCHF purchases the shoes sold by Nike and adds their own designs and modifications to it before reselling them. MSCHF is also known for these unorthodox releases as a 2020 Business Insider profile credited them for “creating some of the most absurd, cynical, and viral projects and products that have spread across the internet.”

Keeping all of this in mind, some fans are upset with the theme of Lil Nas’ and MSCHF collab while others see no issue with it. As expected, they took to Twitter to share their thoughts.

Alabama Shakes’ Drummer Steven William Johnson Was Arrested On Child Abuse Charges

Despite being on a hiatus, Alabama Shakes found themselves in headlines recently and it wasn’t for the best reasons. The band’s drummer, Steven William Johnson was arrested on child abuse charges last week. The news was reported by Alabama’s WHNT. According to the publication, Johnson was indicted in Limestone County by a grand jury on charges of willful torture, willful abuse, and cruelly beating or otherwise willfully maltreating a child under the age of 18. This is also not the first time the drummer was arrested on abuse charges within the past few years.

Back in 2019, Johnson was arrested for a protection from abuse order violation, one that he pled guilty to in March 2020. According to AL.com, the order was issued after Johnson’s ex-wife accused him of threatening and harassing her. She also said he choked, injured, and stalked her. He currently remains locked up at Limestone County Jail on the more recent charges and his bond has been set at $21,500. Johnson’s arraignment is also scheduled for April 7.

Alabama Shakes’ last album came in 2015 with Sound And Color. The project granted the collective three Grammy awards for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance thanks to “Don’t Wanna Fight” as well as Best Alternative Music Album. The group went on a hiatus in 2018 so lead singer, Brittany Howard, could focus on her debut solo album, Jaime, which she released in 2019.

Lil Nas X Hilariously Trolls Fans With Nike Air Max 97 Apology

Lil Nas X has made waves with his “MONTERO” music video and people are extremely angered by his use of Satan and any sort of devilish imagery. The Twitter Christians have been in a shambolic state for the last couple of days now and it doesn’t seem like they will be looking to stop anytime soon. The Illuminati conspiracies are in full swing, and Lil Nas X is loving every single second of it.

His MSCHF x Nike Air Max 97 “Satan’s Shoe” collaboration has also been catching eyes as of late, especially with the fact that the midsole will have a drop of blood in it. There are only 666 pairs in circulation, and many are worried about the curses they will put on people. As a result of the backlash, Lil Nas X decided to troll fans with a bit of an apology.

As you can see, Lil Nas X starts out with a sincere tone although he eventually cuts to the scene in his music video where he seduces the devil. It was the modern-day equivalent to a rickroll and we’re sure all of his haters and fellow HNHH commenters will be upset to their core over this. 

At this stage, Lil Nas X really doesn’t care what people have to say, and we doubt he’ll be changing this mentality, anytime soon.

Charlamagne Thinks Rihanna Would Win In A ‘Verzuz’ With Beyoncé

Charlamagne tha God’s entire media personality almost relies on his knack for controversial opinions. Never needing validation from the masses to vocalize exactly what he thinks, his “call it how I see it” attitude has often landed him in hot water. Most recently, he and actor LaKeith Stanfield engaged in a public beef after Charlamagne made some shady comments about him. Taking a less raunchy stance this time, when asked about who he thinks would be the winner in a Verzuz battle between Rihanna and Beyoncé, the acclaimed radio personality crowned Rihanna the hypothetical victor.

“I don’t know if you’re ready to have this discussion bro, you’re the type of person who’s not ready for these discussions,” prefaced television personality Andrew Schulz.

“Beyoncé vs. Rihanna,” asks Schulz, to which Charlamagne confidently declares, “Rihanna.” This declaration earned approval from Schulz, while another guest on the show vehemently disagreed. 

“And I love Beyoncé,” assures Charlamagne. “It’ll be a great one though, that’s a dream Verzuz, that’s PayPerView. If Rihanna and Beyoncé did a Verzuz on PayPerView, I would pay fight prices. 

“Wait, for it though, wait for it, if they’re allowed to perform, Beyoncé blows her out the water,” said Schulz, to which Charlamagne agreed. “If it’s just songs, Rihanna,” he declares comparatively, further defending his stance by adding she just has better songs.  

The lone naysayer held that Beyoncé has the better catalog, but that was not enough to convince Schulz or Chalamagne that Bey would come out on top should they hit the Verzuz stage.

This conversation echoes dialogue on social media that has been going on about the hypothetical battle, with opinions almost evenly split. What’s your take? Rihanna or Bey? Let us know down in the comments. 

Kevin Durant Responds To Fans Who Claim He’s Ruining The NBA

Kevin Durant has always been one of the most criticized players in the entire NBA, and it hasn’t always been for the most justified reasons. After losing to the Golden State Warriors in the 2016 Western Conference Finals, he decided to join the Warriors in free agency, which led to a whole lot of hate. Eventually, KD won two championships with that Warriors team, and now, he is on the Brooklyn Nets which is arguably stronger.

Yesterday, the team signed LaMarcus Aldridge, and with Kyrie Irving, James Harden, and Blake Griffin on the team, it’s clear that this team should be going all the way to the NBA Finals. As a result, some fans have been taking to Twitter to roast KD, with some saying that he has ruined the NBA. In typical KD fashion, Durant made sure to respond to every single one of these fans.

“I’ll NEVER be able to do anything that I really want to do on earth, by myself,” KD told one fan. He then told other fans not to tell him what to do on Twitter, as some suggested that he should probably put his phone down. Needless to say, it was classic KD behavior and we loved every single second of it.

However, if the Nets don’t win it all this year, the KD slander is going to be something to behold.

Chloe Bailey Wishes Happy Birthday To Little Sister Halle, Reminds Folks They’re Not Twins

Chloe and Halle Bailey have quickly become everyone’s favorite sibling duo. Known by their stage name and recognized for their powerhouse musical abilities as Chloe x Halle, both halves of the group have gone on to cement their individual celebrity. Chloe Bailey has become social media’s sweetheart, blessing the audience periodically with stunning snaps and beautiful covers. Halle Bailey, who turned 21 years old yesterday (March 27), has been busy filming The Little Mermaid in London. Big sister Chloe took some time on her sister’s big day to send her warm wishes.

“My Halle,” Chloe began affectionately. She continued, “thank you for always putting up with my silly ways, always being a listening ear, and always having my back. i will always protect you. happy birthday you beautiful being.”

She paired the sweet message with snaps of the pair when they were just toddlers, including one where Chloe is feeding her younger sister a bottle. In the pictures depicting the sisters much younger, their age difference is much more visible, shocking many who still thought they were twins. 

“y’all ain’t twins???” wrote one person underneath the birthday dedication. The mass belief that the two were twins was enough to provoke 22-year-old Chloe to respond directly in a separate tweet.  

Laughing along with people, she jokingly wrote, “i’m laughing at how y’all are so shocked that we’re not twins,” with tons of laughing emojis. She added, “this happens every year lol.” 

Chloe will be turning 23 this summer, while younger sister Halle just become of drinking age over the weekend. Happy Birthday to Halle! 

Boosie Badazz Calls Mark Zuckerberg Racist After IG Page Is Deleted

Boosie Badazz had Instagram ablaze last night after footage of the rapper slapping a man across the face went viral. It turns out that it was only for a video shoot but just days prior, Boosie did put out a casting call for someone who was willing to get slapped in the face for $554. Boosie really did slap the hell out of the man but it was all love after the video shoot ended.

Unfortunately, the clip may have played a role in why Boosie’s IG page vanished. Apparently, the rapper didn’t end up deleting his Instagram account as many people believed was the case. It was Instagram that ultimately suspended his account, again. Now, Boosie is no stranger to being kicked off the ‘Gram. Last year, his IG Live got pretty X-Rated which prompted the social media site to ban his account. 

Boosie hasn’t seen any success in retrieving his old account, even after threatening to file a lawsuit against Mark Zuckerberg. Despite the many attempts to get in contact with the social media mogul, it seems that Mark Zuckerberg is out of reach for the Louisiana legend. This morning, Boosie took to Twitter where he put Zuckerberg on blast. “@zuck u just a racist,” he tweeted. Boosie certainly isn’t the first person to make this remark towards Zuckenberg, nor will he be the last but we can only hope that Boosie’s IG saga comes to an end in the near future.

Jumpman is set to have a massive 2021 and it has already provided some great shoes to start off the year. One capsule of sneakers that people have had their eyes on is the “To My First Coach” collection, which is set to provide some colorful offerings to the market. Well, recently, the Air Jordan 1 Mid was added to the list, and you can actually see the official images for the new model, below.

Perhaps the most obvious detail here is the gold Wings logo which says “To My First Coach.” As for the rest of the sneaker, we have white side panels and a white Nike swoosh on the outside, all while the tongue and the laces are white, as well. From there, the toe box is a shade of grey, with some pastel blue bordering it on the edge. Yellow overlays then come up the sides, all while the back heel and cuff are orange. This colorful mix leads to a unique aesthetic, that should leave fans excited for the eventual release.

No date has been set for these, although they will be a women’s exclusive, so only small feet will be able to get into them. As always, keep it locked to HNHH for all of the latest updates from the sneaker world.
