It’s never a dull moment on Twitter, especially when it involves the City Girls. Yung Miami and JT have continued their dominance in pop culture and hip-hop in the past year as they continue to ride the success of City On Lock. Many of rap’s leading ladies have offered them praise with the exception of one — Nicki Minaj.

Apparently, Nicki Minaj blocked Yung Miami quite some time ago which the City Girl rapper hopes to be reversed. “Can you unblock me on Instagram @NICKIMINAJ?” Miami wrote on Twitter before following it up with a shrug emoji.

“I’m not obsessed, desperate, none of that fr I just asked her to unblock me I ain’t do shit! Tf,” she added in another tweet.

As fans began debating in the replies, one person brought up the potential reason behind the block. Yung Miami’s allegiance to Cardi B at the height of the Cardi vs. Nicki beef may have ruffled a few feathers. Charlamagne asked Miami whether she’d ever work with Nicki, despite her relationship with Cardi. “I just want to stay away from that question, like, I don’t want to get into that but I am team Cardi. City Girls is Team Cardi,” she said in the interview.

However, the City Girls have also expressed their desire to work with Nicki in the past. A TikTok surfaced comparing her comments on the Breakfast Club to a City Girls Q&A where they said they’d love to work with Nicki Minaj. 

Others reminded Miami of her own thoughts regarding being blocked. “I hate when I see somebody and they be like unblock me I didn’t do nothing. It’s like no get your hating ass from by me bitch!!!!” she tweeted back in September 2020. She later retweeted that tweet but fans still went in on her.

Check some of the funniest responses below. 

Snoop Dogg’s daughter Cori Broadus is the youngest child of him and his wife Shante Broadus. Known by her stage name CHOC, the daughter of the rap legend has a name for herself in the music industry apart from her famous father. She’s amassed a couple hundred thousand followers on social media and has released a couple of loose tracks including “Daddy’s Girl” with Snoop. 

While she grew up surrounded by love and sunlight in California, Cori opened up about the mental health issues she has been battling with for quite some time now. She took to social media on Saturday (May 15) to open up about her struggle with mental health, revealing she attempted to take her own life recently but is in a much better place now.

“The last few weeks my mental has not been so great,” Cori explained in the address to followers. “At one point I tried to end my life but you & my family really give me a purpose to live & helped me realize life is much more than materialistic things & you gotta just keep pushing through the bullsh*t.”

“THANK YOU,” she finished. She received an outpouring of support at her display of vulnerability from numerous individuals in the comments, reaffirming her sentiments expressed in the post. 

Cori is one of three children Snoop Dogg shares with his wife Shante. She has two older brothers, Cordell and Cordae Broadus. Hopefully, the family has taken some time to heal together after Cori’s revelation. 

Michael Jordan’s sneaker line has mostly been known for its contributions to the world of basketball. There have been various incredible silhouettes to come out over the years and one of those models is none other than the Air Jordan 1. We have seen numerous iterations of the model, and now, an auto-racing-inspired model is dropping thanks to NASCAR’s first Jumpman athlete, Denny Hamlin.

The Air Jordan 1 Racer PE has been decked out in white, purple, and orange which fits with Hamlin’s Fed-Ex sponsored car. The shoe has special suede materials that are fire-resistant and keep the driver comfortable while in the cockpit of an extremely hot vehicle.

“Nine times out of ten, if you see me on the street, I’m wearing Air Jordan Is,” Hamlin said on the Jumpman website. “This Air Jordan 1 Racer PE is special for a lot of reasons. Jordan Brand actually built the heat shield into the heel of my shoe, so my feet never get too hot. This is also the first time my racing shoe has the Air Jordan wings logo on it, and of course, there’s the Jumpman logo.”

For now, there are no plans to release colorways of this new silhouette, although if you’re interested in auto-racing, these are an immediate grail.

Last night, the Basketball Hall of Fame honored the likes of Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan, and Kevin Garnett in what was an emotional ceremony. All of these men are now immortalized in basketball history and nothing will ever be able to take that away from them. Going into the Hall of Fame is pretty well every player’s goal and once you get there, it’s an accomplishment you can just sit back and bask in.

Today, the Basketball Hall of Fame decided to keep the party going as they announced who would be a part of the 2021 class. According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, Paul Pierce, Chris Webber, Chris Bosh, and Ben Wallace are the four players getting in. Meanwhile, Bill Russell will be going into the Hall for a second time, this time as a coach.

Paul Pierce was a virtual lock for the Hall of Fame, while players like Ben Wallace, Chris Bosh, and Chris Webber were all heavily debated. Regardless, all of these men are deserving of the honor and we’re sure they over the moon about this latest opportunity. 

It’s unknown when the ceremony will take place, so stay tuned to HNHH as we will be sure to bring you all of the latest updates.

J. Cole had a lot of his fans tuning into ESPN this morning as he made his highly anticipated debut with the Rwanda Patriots of the Basketball Africa League. Cole ended up signing with the team just a couple of weeks ago and throughout the season, he is expected to play three to six games.

In today’s game, Cole subbed into the match fairly early on and he immediately made an impact on defense. During his first shift, he was able to score his first career basket and it made for quite the moment. When all was said and done, Cole finished with three points, three rebounds, and two assists, in the span of 17 minutes. His team went on to win the game 83-60.

Considering this is his first game with the team, these stats are pretty respectable and you can’t help but respect Cole for suiting up on a professional level. He got to live out a dream today and even with everything he’s accomplished over the years, he is still finding ways to reinvent himself.

Moving forward, we can’t wait to see how he progresses with the team.

It seems like Ice Cube is refusing to back down in his legal battle with investment app Robinhood. Back in March, we reported that the renowned West Coast rapper filed a lawsuit against Robinhood, accusing the app of using his likeness without his permission. In the suit he claimed that Robinhood used his image in an ad that was included in an advertisement in the Robinhood Snacks newsletter without contacting him. 

He is seeking millions from the company for allegedly stealing his catchphrase, “Check Yo Self, Before You Wreck Yo Self,” in a promotional email sent by the company to their user-base. He filed the lawsuit on March 31st of this year, but Robinhood filed a motion to get the entire case thrown out by a judge, claiming he has no copyright claims over the image taken from Are We Done Yet?

They further argued that Ice Cube was simply seeking attention since the phrase has been co-opted numerous times outside of the app’s use. Cube’s attorney, however, Michael A. Taitelman has fired back at Robinhood’s attempt to dismiss the rapper’s complaint. 

“[Robinhood] now seeks to evade responsibility for their misconduct by filing a blunderbuss motion that misses the mark,” Taitelman said. [Robinhood’s use of [Ice Cube’s] image and likeness is pure commercialization, executed without the consent of [Ice Cube] and [Robinhood’s efforts to hide behind the Constitution are in vain.”

Cube further alleges his name is a registered trademark, and Robinhood’s use of his image and likeness resulted in false advertising, a right not protected under the constitution. On June 3rd, Judge Laurel Beeler will decide whether or not the lawsuit will proceed or not.

We’ll keep you updated with the case.
