Justin Bieber has been receiving a lot of attention, both good and bad, since the release of his newest album Justice last week. Some criticized Bieber for using speeches from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on the album, but he attempted to set the record straight: “What I wanted to do with this was amplify [Dr.] Martin Luther King Jr’s voice to this generation,” he told Rolling Stone. 

While some may have thought that Bieber’s activism on his latest release was performative, it seems as though he is committed to making change after he visited the California State Prison of L.A. County alongside his pastor last week. He didn’t just perform, however, also appearing to be sitting, listening, and praying with prisoners in photos obtained by TMZ. Allegedly, Bieber visited prisoners who were working with the prison’s Urban Ministry Institute, which is a seminary program run by Prison Fellowship. 

Reportedly, Justin also visited the Paws for Life K9 Rescue program, which is a dog rehab program for those in a maximum-security men’s prison. The goal of the program is for the inmates to train dogs to become anything from a service animal to a military vet. According to an inside report, Justin has also promised to personally charter buses for families to visit their loved ones in remote prisons. Hopefully, he keeps up this exciting and valuable work. 

Check out some of the photos of Justin at the prison below. 

Will and Jada Pinkett Smith have remained wildly successful for the last few decades, in part because of their ability to stay ahead of the entertainment game. Their most recent venture includes signing 7-year-old YouTube Anastasia Radzinskaya to their film and television studio, Westbrook Studios. The multimedia conglomerate was only launched in 2019, but it seems that Will and Jada are currently scouting new talent.

Anastasia Radzinskaya, who goes by the name Like Nastya on YouTube, was born in Russia but currently resides with family in Florida. The tiny star has amassed more than 200 million subscribers across 14 different YouTube channels and reportedly has a net worth of $20 million. Kid YouTubers are one of the website’s biggest earners, as parents can often leave educational, humorous, or sensory content running for their children while they perform other tasks. Last year, Nastya earned $18.5 million through her YouTube revenue, making her the seventh highest-earning YouTuber of 2020. She also has nearly 4 million followers on TikTok. 

Reportedly, Westbrook Studios has teamed up with Nastya to create a series of new animated projects, which will be aimed at both preschool-aged kids and adults. The new deal is being organized by both the studio’s co-president and head of TV, Terence Carter, and senior vice president and head of scripted TV development, David Boorstein.

James Gunn certainly had his work cut out for him after being handed the director’s role for the new Suicide Squad film, for which he’s had pretty much full creative control. 2016’s adaptation saw David Ayer as the director and was a commercial box office hit, making nearly $750 million with a budget of $175 million. While the box office numbers skyrocketed, the film was widely viewed as a dud and was not well-enjoyed by critics and fans alike, receiving a measly 26% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The first trailer for the upcoming continuation of the franchise dropped on March 26th and was one that seemingly gave a lot of hope for James Gunn’s potential. “The fact that Sylvester Stallone is voicing king shark and he literally says “nom nom” sold this movie for me. Hands down,” said one commenter. “Considering what James Gunn was able to do with just the Guardians Of The Galaxy, imagine what he’ll be able to do with the Suicide Squad which is easily DC’s most fun superpowered team in the comics,” said another.

The film’s newest trailer was released on April 1st, but it was no April Fool’s joke for fans. The teaser delved more into the story that viewers already know and love, with Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) gathering dangerous criminals for a top secret mission, one that will take 10 years off of their prison sentence if they succeed. Other stars include Idris Elba as Bloodsport, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn, John Cena as Peacemaker, and Sylvester Stallone as King Shark. The film arrives in theaters on August 6th, so be sure to check out the newest trailer below if you want a sneak peek of what you’ll be seeing this summer. 

Thursday began the fourth day of the Derek Chauvin trial for the murder of George Floyd. The fourth day of the trial brought forward some new key witnesses and testimonies, perhaps one of the more important being that from retired Minneapolis police sergeant David Pleoger. On the day of George Floyd’s death, Derek Chauvin called Sgt. Pleoger after kneeling on Floyd’s neck for more than 9 minutes, asking him to come out to the scene.

“I was just going to call and have you come out to our scene here,” Chauvin said to Sgt. Pleoger in a phone call captured on body camera footage. “We just had to hold a guy down. He was going crazy. He wouldn’t … he wouldn’t go in the back of the squad –”

The recording of the call then ends when Cauvin turns off his body cam. When asked what Chauvin said during the rest of the phone call, Sgt. Pleoger recalled that George Floyd allegedly became combative when he refused to go into the back of a squad car, and then Chauvin said that there was a “struggle” which resulted in Floyd having a medical emergency. When Pleoger implored officers on the scene to speak to witnesses, Chauvin told him that they were “hostile.”

Chauvin did not tell Sgt. Pleoger that he had kneeled on George Floyd’s neck until later that night at the Hennepin County Medical Center. This is the second time that Chauvin’s perspective of the events has been seen during the trial after Wednesday’s body cam footage saw Chauvin saying that George Floyd looked like he was “probably on something.”

If you are a big fan of LeBron James, then you have probably worn his sneakers at one point in your life. These shoes are mostly iconic and there are some models that have stood the test of time. One of the best silhouettes to ever be released from LeBron is the Nike LeBron 7 which came out as he was going to the Miami Heat. There were some amazing colorways and over the past year, Nike has been celebrating the shoe’s 10th anniversary.

The latest colorway to be teased is called “Baseball Blue” although many understand it to be an homage to the Los Angeles Dodgers. In the official photos below, you can see how the shoe has a beautiful mix of blue and red, all while white serves as a backdrop. These colorways work naturally together and if you are a Dodgers fan, they may very well be a must-cop. Even if you aren’t, these are just an overall dope cop that will look great in your collection.

For those who do want a pair, the shoe will officially come out on Friday, April 9th for $200 USD. Let us know if you plan on buying a pair, in the comments below. As always, keep it locked to HNHH for more sneaker news and updates.

In the United States, unfortunately, instances of police brutality against the Black community are narratives we have become well acquainted with. As the high-profile trial of Derek Chauvin for his role in the death of George Floyd takes place, emotions across the country have been heightened once again. One Texas family is unfortunately without a relative and seven correctional officers have been fired in connection with the death of Marvin D. Scott III.

Collin County Sheriff Jim Skinner confirmed in a statement Thursday (April 1) that seven officers suspected to be involved in the in-custody death of the 26-year-old have been let go. “Although the Texas Rangers’ comprehensive criminal investigation into the death of Marvin D. Scott III continues, I have today terminated the employment of seven detention officers involved in his tragic death and have been notified of the resignation of an eighth officer who was under investigation,” said Skinner said in a statement. 

He continued, “Evidence I have seen confirms that these detention officers violated well-established Sheriff’s Office policies and procedures. Everyone in Collin County deserves safe and fair treatment, including those in custody at our jail. I will not tolerate less.”

Officers arrested Scott on March 14th on a charge of possession of fewer than two ounces of marijuana, which is a misdemeanor charge according to Collin County sheriff’s Capt. Nick Bristow. Allen Police Department officers who responded to the disturbance noticed the late Scott was, “acting in an erratic manner and were concerned for his safety due to the possible ingestion of drugs.” 

After his arrest, Scott was brought to a hospital where he stayed in an emergency room for three hours before being processed at the Dallas suburb’s Police Headquarters holding facility then transferred to Allen Police Headquarters holding facility. 

While in custody, Scott was reported to have once again been acting strangely, which prompted detention officers to restrain him to his bed before pepper-spraying him and attaching a spit mask to his face. He eventually became unresponsive and was later pronounced dead at the hospital. 

Our prayers go out to Marvin Scott III’s family, and may his soul Rest in Power.

This Sunday, Season 10 of AMC’s The Walking Dead will finally come to a close with an exciting season finale that explores the origin story of Jeffrey Dean Morgan’s polarizing character Negan. The episode will mark the last episode of The Walking Dead until the long-running television show returns for its eleventh and final season later this summer. In an interview with TV Insider, Jeffrey Dean Morgan hints at what fans can expect from the highly anticipated Negan standalone episode.

Throughout the exclusive interview, Jeffrey Dean Morgan hints at the flashbacks spread throughout the episode, and he also discusses what it was like to have his real-life wife play his Negan’s fictional wife, and the inspiration behind his iconic bat, Lucille.

“You will see the iteration of Lucille and how she comes to be — absolutely. And it’s a cool story. How the writers weave this all together is super cool,” he reveals, before touching on the dynamic of starring side by side with his wife Hilarie Burton. “It was one of the coolest things I’ve ever gotten to do in my career. She was so good. And thankfully, she works like I do. It doesn’t matter what we’re shooting, before and after they say “action” and “cut,” we’re idiots and can have a good time. I’m so proud of her I can’t even stand it.”

The Negan actor sums up the episode, saying, “If you’re a villain fan and want to know what makes them tick, this [episode] will do that for you.”

You can see Jeffrey Dean Morgan take on the infamous Walking Dead character‘s origin story when “Here’s Negan,” the Season 10 finale of The Walking Dead, airs this Sunday at 9pm EST on AMC.

Kevin Durant and Michael Rapaport were the subjects of Twitter scrutiny this past week after the latter leaked a DM conversation between the two. As you can tell, the two were going at each other pretty hard and Durant was using some extremely fiery language that might be considered offensive to some people. While most were upset with Rapaport leaking the information in the first place, others were disappointed that KD had to resort to such infantile name-calling.

Since the exchange was leaked, the NBA has been looking into the ordeal and according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, KD has officially been fined $50,000. This is a very small amount considering Durant’s salary although it is still significant enough to make him think a bit more before using that language. Although, Durant had apologized earlier in the week.

“I’m sorry that people seen that language I used,” Durant said. “That’s not really what I want people to see and hear from me, but hopefully I can move past it and get back out on the floor.”

These DMs have been a horrendous look for KD and Michael Rapaport and at this point, we imagine both men would rather just forget it. So far, no one has been a winner.

Nearly a full 25 years after his untimely death, Tupac Shakur, a.k.a. 2Pac, is still one of the most beloved Hip-Hop artists to ever grace a microphone. This past week, his estate celebrated the 20-year anniversary of his third posthumous album Until the End of Time, showing just how much fans still revered the multitalented artist several years after his tragic death. According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), Until the End of Time isn’t the only Tupac release that has been getting a lot of love lately. 

In its latest roundup of gold and platinum certifications, the RIAA has announced that a nice chunk of platinum plaques will be making their way to Tupac’s estate. According to the certification company, the former Death Row artist has posthumously earned a slew of platinum certifications for select singles released between 1993 and 1995.

As of Thursday, March 31, 2Pac’s 1993 singles “Keep Ya Head Up” and “I Get Around” have finally reached platinum status, with each song reaching this new milestone nearly 28 years after being certified gold. “Dear Mama,” the standout track from his 1995 album Me Against the World, also got an RIAA update yesterday, and it is now a certified triple-platinum single following its platinum certification on July 13, 1995.
