Over the weekend, while down in Miami celebrating the release of his latest effort Hall of Fame, Polo G, along with his siblings and girlfriend and a few members of his crew, were arrested. While leaving the venue of his release party, Polo’s mother Stacia Mac took to social media to call out Miami PD for pulling him over, subsequently arresting him. 

The “For the Love of New York” artist was arrested and booked into Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center at 8 a.m. Saturday (June 12) on multiple charges including battery on a police officer, resisting arrest, and criminal mischief. His mother later confirmed she was able to bail out Polo and everyone else involved, while Polo himself spoke out early Sunday morning for the first time since the arrest.

“They playing foul in Miami & data sh*t been like that for a minute,” explained the rapper on Twitter. “1 of the officers told us they was on us since we got Off our jet…,” he added, highlighting the predatory nature of Miami PD. 

Before Polo took to Twitter himself, his mother spoke out, “I have tbaby. I’ve bonded out Polo and everyone. I’ve also, of course, notified my attorney. I’ll be relieved when I have everyone out of jail safely. Thank you guys for your support.”

Right now, there’s no word yet on whether the Chicago emcee will have to appear in court in connection with the charges. Of course, we’ll keep you updated on any subsequent developments.

On the brightside, Polo’s third studio album Hall of Fame is expected to debut at the summit of the Billboard Hot 100 chart ahead of Migos’ Culture III. If sales figure estimates hold true, it’ll be his first No.1 album. 

Fans of the Air Jordan 12 have been living the good life over the past couple of years as the shoe has finally been receiving the love it deserves. Jumpman has come through with a plethora of brand new colorways and they have all been unique in their own right. In 2021, the Air Jordan 12 is supposed to be in for another strong year and there are already some cool offerings being teased for the Fall season. Among them is the “Royalty” model which will immediately remind you of the infamous “Taxi” colorway.

In the images below courtesy of SneakerBarDetroit, you can see that the upper is mostly comprised of white leather, all while the sides have a black strip of leather that goes from the middle of the shoe to the toe box. It’s that classic Air Jordan 12 look, with some gold highlights added throughout in order to give the shoe that “Royalty” glow. Overall, this is a shoe that will excite some of the OG Jordan 12 fans out there, and it’s just four months away.

The rumored release date has been set for October 9th although there is a possibility it could be moved up for even delayed. With this in mind, keep it locked to HNHH for all of the latest updates from the sneaker world.

It’s been two years since the smash series Game of Thrones ended. However, fans of the show still have questions that have been largely left unanswered. Fortunately, Emilia Clarke was more than spill the tea during a recent appearance on TheSkimm.

On Friday, June 11th, Emilia Clarke made an appearance on theSkimm’s online video series “Texting With.” Clarke indulged in details surrounding her experiences with her castmates, as well as the infamous on screen appearance of a random Starbucks cup in an episode. For the record, that coffee cup did not belong to Clarke. The Mother of Dragons insists that she does not drink Starbucks and that the cup belonged to show co-creator, Dan Weiss.

“It’s not Starbucks — spoiler,” Clarke said of her drink of choice in the morning. “So I’m going to say it again for the record was not mine. It was not mine. Looking at you Dan Weiss.”

Clarke also went into detail over the different roles the cast played off-camera. According to the actress, many of the actors on set offered therapeutic advice to one another in between tapings. “I think everyone probably had their own individual ones for me, Jacob and Natalie had to deal with a lot of ‘Hey guys, I’ve got some really big questions about life and the universe and everything,” Clarke said. 

During the interview, Clarke also mentioned future projects she’s currently working on. Her comic book, Mother of Madness, is set to be released soon. “There is a young woman who hates what her body does because when she’s on her period, weird stuff happens,” Clarke said of the comic book’s plot. “She’s a single mother. Her child has autism. And she stumbles upon people in need of help and she starts to realize that the things that she felt terrible about that she’d got every month were actually pretty thoughtful in fighting the greater good.”

Last night was a massive one if you’re invested in the beef between YouTubers and TikTok stars. The Battle of the Platforms saw numerous boxing matches go down on Pay Per View, and the main attraction was a fight between Austin McBroom and Bryce Hall. In the end, it was McBroom who came out victorious as he delivered a third-round TKO.

There was quite a bit of entertainment between fights, including a performance from DJ Khaled. The infamous DJ played some tracks from his new album and he mostly provided ad-libs while running around the boxing ring. Unfortunately, this didn’t garner much of a response from the crowd, which led to some cringey and downright awkward moments that eventually went viral. In fact, Drake commented on the matter with some laughing emojis, saying “epic.”

Drake and Khaled have collaborated in the past and as we know, Drake has no problems making some jokes at his friend’s expense. As for Khaled, he has been known to take things very seriously at times, although we hope there are no hard feelings here. After all, you can’t help deny just how dead the crowd was during the entire ordeal.

Either way, the fans at the stadium got their money’s worth as there was plenty of decent boxing to go around, especially considering who the participants were.

The City Girls have been the unofficial queens of twerk music since their 2018 release “Act Up.” Stars and fans alike have integrated the girls’ signature “PERIODT” ad-lib into everyday conversation and captions across the web. The girl group’s most recent single “Twerkulator” was an instant hit, making the first solo Billboard debut for the pair. 

As far as the individuals within the group, JT has been a frequent blog topic due to her new relationship with Lil Uzi Vert, while Yung Miami remains a less-sourced name, but an anchor for the duo’s success.

JT first made headlines in 2019 for serving jail time for former credit card fraud charges, while Yung Miami kept spirits high during JT’s absence, serving as the face of the duo for a good two years. She often shared videos of JT with fans, while their following grew steadily.

Once JT was released from prison, the girls got to work quickly, dropping City On Lock in 2020. The album was a successful and impactful return for the two, featuring hits “Pussy Talk” and “Jobs.” Since that time, they’ve released limited music, allowing City On Lock to flourish while focusing more on growing online and IRL. 

Now, with the girls poised for their biggest year yet, and a fan base that is anxiously anticipating what new music will follow “Twerkulator,” we highlight JT and Yung Miami in their lavish element in the IG Gallery below.

It’s time for the twerkulator.

Donovan Mitchell is one of the best players in the NBA right now and he has been incredible in the NBA Playoffs. Last night, he scored 30 points for the Jazz although it wasn’t enough as they were blown out by the Los Angeles Clippers. During the game, Mitchell had an awkward landing on his right ankle, which led to him leaving the game with his foot wrapped up.

These scenes scared Jazz fans as they weren’t sure if it meant he would be out for an extended period of time. After the game, Mitchell spoke to reporters and assured everyone that he is going to be just fine. In fact, Mitchell is confident that he will be ready to go for Game 4, which is in just a few days from now.

“It’s when I land. I’ve been trying to manage it. I don’t know what else to say—I don’t want to say too much. I’m good. I’ll be ready for Game 4,” Mitchell explained via The Salt Lake Tribune.

With the Clippers taking Game 3, they have some momentum right now and it will be up to Mitchell and his teammates to stop said momentum in its tracks. Regardless, this series just became competitive, and it should prove to be a lot of fun.
