LeBron James is gearing up for the release of Space Jam: A New Legacy which drops next month. This new movie is going to be a lot of fun and fans are looking forward to seeing all of the cameos and how the story plays out. To help promote the film, LeBron has unveiled his brand new Nike LeBron 19 as well as various other shoes and apparel that are Looney Tunes themed. 

With the movie dropping in just a few weeks, it appears as though yet another “Space Jam” Nike LeBron model has surfaced online. This time, we are seeing the Nike LeBron 8 in what can only be described as a straightforward “Tune Squad” colorway. As you can see in the images below, the shoe has a black base with the Tune Squad logo on the tongue. Meanwhile, there is a glow in the dark outsole which helps bring the entire shoe together.

There is no word yet on whether or not these will be released, so keep it locked to HNHH as we will bring you all of the most up to date details. In the meantime, let us know what you think of these, in the comments below.

After 11 years of marriage, Carmelo and La La Anthony are pulling the plug on their relationship. We previously reported on the news that La La filed for divorce from her NBA star husband, citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason behind the split. This comes days after rumors circulated that Carmelo was involved with another woman, and now Hollywood Unlocked has got ahold of alleged messages between the basketball star and a woman who claims she just gave birth to his twins.

According to the outlet, they spoke with the woman (she wanted to keep her name private) who said she’d allegedly met Carmelo last year in New York. She claims they kept in contact and spoke “almost every day,” eventually meeting and engaging in a sexual relationship.

The woman was aware that Melo was a married man but she didn’t feel guilty about it because she allegedly knows “who’s f*cking La La too!” Then, the woman later learned she was pregnant and she and Carmelo planned for an abortion because neither one of them wanted to move forward with children. However, things didn’t work out, so she reportedly ended up giving birth to his twins in April prematurely.

One of the newborns allegedly had severe health problems but the woman wasn’t able to get into contact with Carmelo. She claims he later told her that he broke his phone after throwing it against a wall. She also shared text exchanges allegedly with Carmelo where he seems to acknowledge that the children are his.

She told Hollywood Unlocked that she’s struggling to get Carmelo’s attention and hopes that this story will make him keep in contact. La La and Carmelo are the parents of a son, 14-year-old Kiyan. The couple previously separated for almost two years before reconciling in 2019.

Check out the woman’s messages below.

Earlier today, Jordan Brand unveiled its Fall 2021 collection and fans are extremely excited about what’s on the horizon. The Air Jordan 1 High OG is heavily represented this Fall as four new colorways will be making their way to the market. One of these colorways is the “Electro Orange” model which has been teased quite a bit over these past few months.

In the official images below, you get a phenomenal look at the shoe as we are met with a silhouette covered in white leather on the toe box, side panels, and back heel. From there, black is placed on the toe box as well as some of the overlays, all while the swoosh gets some black as well. Finally, orange is found on the cuff of the shoe, as well as the outsole. When put together, these elements form an eye-popping shoe that add some color to your collection.

If you are hoping to get a pair of these, you will be able to do so very soon as these are slated to drop on Saturday, July 17th for $170 USD. Let us know what you think of this new Air Jordan 1, in the comments below. Also, stay tuned to HNHH for more updates from the sneaker world.

Following last night’s Verzuz battle between Eve and Trina on Instagram Live, series co-creator Swizz Beatz has already planted the seeds for an upcoming episode. In the live comment section, Beatz was seen commenting “Lil Kim vs Who??????????????????” in an attempt to build up hype for future iterations of the show.

Naturally, Swizzy’s comment was captured and immortalized as a screenshot, immediately sparking debate as to who could face off in a head-to-head against Kim.

According to the comments section of a recent Shade Room post, an overwhelming amount of fans would like to see Kim go up against New York rapper Foxy Brown. The two have a tenured history of tense competition between one another since they both rose to prominence in a similar era, and they’ve also exchanged diss tracks throughout their careers. Other fans clamored for rap queen Nicki Minaj to take on Lil’ Kim on the Verzuz stage.

The Verzuz series has been an exciting form of entertainment for fans of hip-hop over the past year, pitting producers and artists against one another as they run through their extensive discographies of iconic beats, verses, and songs. It all started in March 2020 when producers Swizz Beatz and Timbaland hopped on Instagram Live to square off their classic beats and let the fans decide who the victor was.

 These shows have allowed fans to reminisce while debating and arguing over social media who won the matchups, extending the music and cultural conversation beyond the show’s runtime. And clearly, it seems fans are ready for Lil’ Kim to bless the Verzuz stage.

After getting into online spats with King Von’s sister Kayla B and being called out by Foolio, Asian Doll is taking the high road. She’s carried the “Queen Von” banner since the Chicago rapper was murdered last November. Doll has received a tattoo of a portrait of Von and purchased a life-like iced-out chain, but as she was grieving his loss publicly, there were others who criticized her, accusing the rapper of overdoing it.

Yesterday (June 16), we reported on Foolio saying that if anything happens to him, “don’t be an Asian Doll.” She responded with a scathing tweet. “But when some do happen to you watch nobody give no f*ck [crying laughing emojis],” she wrote. “Get off n*gga d*ck tho fan ass n*gga.”

Asian Doll also addressed her recent controversies, including the public learning that a woman is allegedly pregnant with Von’s child. “As long as von in the situation ima always be respectful cause I’m not finna be out here looking slow gang,” she tweeted. “He can’t speak for himself & I ain’t finna speak for him. Be safe out here y’all.”

“I’m not arguing with nobody tho fasho my whole like will do the talking,” Doll added. Check out the posts below.
