Ice-T and Coco Austin welcomed their daughter, Chanel Nicole, back in 2015. The now five-year-old is growing to look just like her dad, much to the amusement of fans. Both Ice and Coco frequently share fun family photos on their social media pages to update Ice Loves Coco fans on how their baby girl is doing, quite frequently.
Back in 2019, Coco shared a vulnerable image of Chanel breastfeeding to her Instagram, with the caption: “Nap time and night time are our time and I’m lucky she hasn’t grown out it yet because when that moment comes I will be so sad..its the best feeling and ALL mothers that nurse know.” The share quickly garnered a negative reaction from followers, who disagreed with breastfeeding Chanel at that age. Despite the backlash at the time, it’s clear Coco still feels the same she did when she originally wrote that caption, two years ago.
During a recent exclusive with US Weekly, the 42-year-old reported she still breastfeeds her kindergartener, citing that she is not going to take that option away until her child is ready. She told Us Weekly, “Chanel still likes my boobs, it’s a big bonding moment for a mother and your child.”
Most mothers stop breastfeeding around their child’s first birthday and begin to transition to a full food diet, leaving the milk behind. Coco claims Chanel loves meat, including “steak and hamburgers” but “likes a little snack every now and then.” Coco continued, “Why take that away from her? … If she doesn’t want it, all right, that’s where you stop it. But I’m not just going to say no.”
Chanel also runs the show when it comes to bedtime, sleeping in the bed with her, Ice and the family’s four dogs.
While this most recent revelation is bound to ruffle more feathers, Coco thanked the fellow moms who agree with her approach, “Thank you to all that understand my view. I see most of you are so eager to side with me and I too root for you in your journey as well. Us moms are connected.”

Steph Curry is easily the most important player in the history of the Golden State Warriors franchise. He is one of the best shooters of all time and when all is said and done, he will be a first-ballot Hall Of Fame player who has at least three NBA titles to his name. Unfortunately for Curry and the Warriors, the team has been dealing with some bad luck over the last couple of years thanks to injuries and the exodus of Kevin Durant.
Regardless, Curry has remained optimistic about his future in San Francisco and heading into this year, the team is confident that it can regroup and come back with a season that would potentially lead to a deep playoff run.
After this season, Steph Curry would become a free agent, and this prospect has left many Warriors fans worried. Of course, these worries were overblown as Curry is simply too beloved in Golden State to ever want to leave. In fact, today it was revealed by Marc Stein that Curry and the Warriors will sign off on a four-year, $215 million deal extension that will take Curry to the late stages of his career. Needless to say, it’s a safe bet that Curry will be a Warrior for life.
With free agency beginning later tonight, keep it locked to HNHH as we will be sure to bring you all of the latest news and updates from around the NBA.
2021 marks another landmark year for Missy Elliott. This year, the Supa Dupa Fly artist has celebrated both her 50th birthday and the 20th anniversary of her third studio album Miss E… So Addictive, and as a result, fans and artists alike have been going out of their way to give the Songwriters Hall Of Fame and Black Music and Entertainment Walk of Fame inductee her flowers.
Recently a fan account on Twitter participated in the ongoing #MissyMilestones tribute trend and shared a mashup video that featured Lil Wayne acknowledging the influence that Missy Elliott had on him during his early days as an artist. Weezy specifically mentions her animated adlibs, and the video goes on to show a barrage of videos featuring Missy’s most iconic sound effects.
The femcee caught wind of the tweet and decided to share some new insights into the backlash that she originally received for those same adlibs, revealing that people in the music industry used to bring her to tears by clowning her unique style.
“When i 1st came in the game people laughed at me doing sound effects in my music,” Missy Elliot explained. “I used to cry when they clowned me but then I kept doing wild sounds/crazy adlibs in my songs & people began to rock wit it…Years later those same sound effects are big in songs today.”
A Black Lady Sketch Show comedian Robin Thede was completely caught off guard that Missy Elliot had to endure such treatment from industry insiders. “Reading the [goat emoji] say ‘I used to cry when they clowned me’ is wild,” Thede exclaimed. “You’re such a genius!”
Missy Elliot then replied to Thede’s praise by saying, “I used to cry at the drop of a dime. I will say the Industry will TOUGHEN you up tho! I was DIFFERENT…which some may have deemed my sound & style as weird…But I remained TRUE to myself as a artist & Thankfully people gave my FUTURISTIC vibe a chance.”
Given the music industry’s track record of working with innovative artists, are you surprised that people used to make fun of Missy Elliot so much that she would be brought to tears?
Travis Scott has reached the stage in his career where he can essentially accomplish any creative vision that springs into his mind. His resources are seemingly limitless, his brand equity bigger than the majority of his contemporaries. Today, his reach has extended even further with yet another new deal, with his Cactus Jack Film company striking a production deal with A24.
Cinephiles are likely familiar with A24, which has established itself as one of the most exciting production studios in the game. Acclaimed films like Hereditary, Midsommar, The Farewell, Uncut Gems, Moonlight, The Killing Of A Sacred Deer, Ex Machina, and more have helped build a reputation of not only quality but a daring adherence to auteurship.
Now, Variety has confirmed Scott’s new deal with A24, which will kick off with a project centered around the upcoming Utopia album. A24 took a moment to get the hype train rolling on Twitter, sharing a glimpse at the Scott-penned screenplay emblazoned with the A24 logo. It’s unclear as to whether or not the partnership will extend to a long-form film, though Variety does note that Scott and Cactus Jack Films will “produce movies” with A24 as part of the deal.
For now, there appears to be a sense of cautious optimism regarding Scott’s A24 crossover, though some feel that the rap superstar doesn’t quite fit with the production company’s established aesthetic. For now, we’ll have to wait and see how this plays out — though it does appear to confirm one crucial piece of information: Utopia is coming, and it’s going to be firing on all cylinders.

Luka Doncic is one of the best players in the world right now and there is a very good chance that he can someday become the face of the NBA. Doncic has received co-signs from many of his peers and while the Mavericks have yet to have much playoff success, there is no denying the fact that Doncic has the ability to lead this team to a championship if he can get some help in the form of superstar players on the Mavs roster.
This week, Doncic will be eligible to sign a massive 4-year, $202 million contract extension with the Dallas Mavericks. For all intents and purposes, it is expected that Doncic will be signing this deal, although it’s likely he will wait to do so.
As Marc Stein reported on Twitter, Doncic is currently fighting for an Olympic medal with Slovenia at the Summer Games. Doncic’s team is 3-0 right now and with a quarterfinal matchup against Germany on the horizon, there is a good chance that Doncic leads this team to at least the semi-final.
Due to his status as an Olympian, Doncic will likely wait until he is back home from Tokyo before he negotiates any sort of new deals.
Either way, this is good news for the Mavericks as it means their ace will remain with the team long-term. Doncic is the type of player you would die to have, and there is no doubt the Mavs will give him the max.
Former President Barack Obama will celebrate his 60th birthday this year, by throwing a larger-than-life party on the his 30-acre waterfront Martha’s Vineyard property according to sources of The Hill.
The lavish outdoor soiree is expected to be star-studded with famous friends of Michelle and Barack, not to mention, a performance from Pearl Jam for the “200 staff and 475 attendees.”
Those on the lengthy guest list were reportedly asked to take a COVID-19 test as part of their invite. Axios reported there will be a “COVID coordinator” on-site to ensure safety protocols are being followed.
While Obama will not be breaking any current COVID-19 regulations, critics are questioning the integrity of holding such a large gathering amidst ever-increasing reports of the Delta variant spreading throughout the country.
Many who did not agree with the move took to Twitter to share comments suggesting Obama is a hypocrite for having such a gathering. The public criticism of the 44th President turned the subject into a trending topic across twitte.
Those in defense of Obama noted that right wingers who are calling him out now, didn’t have a problem when the governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, pushing for regulations to reopen the state while cases were still rampant.
Obama’s team has yet to publicly comment on the reaction to his birthday soiree.
Check out some of the debate below.

Carson Wentz has had some rotten luck over the course of his career when it comes to injuries. After having an incredibly MVP-winning campaign in 2017, Wentz went down with an injury that kept him out of the playoffs, and eventually, the Super Bowl. Since that time, Wentz has tried his best to get back to his MVP form although it simply hasn’t happened for him. Things got even worse last year as he lost his starting job to Jalen Hurts, which eventually led to a trade to Indianapolis.
Wentz seemed to be playing well in training camp, however, things got ugly as he went down with a foot injury that required numerous evaluations. Over the weekend, the Colts were optimistic that Wentz would be fine, although today, it was reported that Wentz will need surgery.
According to reporter Stephen Holder, Wentz has been dealing with a foot injury since high school and it eventually came back to bite him. Doctors told him he needed to get the surgery, and as a result, the quarterback will miss five to 12 weeks. The Colts are hoping he can be back sooner, although it will all depend on his ability to recover.
This is just horrendous news for Wentz, and we wish him the best in his recovery. Hopefully, he can still come back and start fresh with his new team.
