Chloe and Halle Bailey have quickly become everyone’s favorite sibling duo. Known by their stage name and recognized for their powerhouse musical abilities as Chloe x Halle, both halves of the group have gone on to cement their individual celebrity. Chloe Bailey has become social media’s sweetheart, blessing the audience periodically with stunning snaps and beautiful covers. Halle Bailey, who turned 21 years old yesterday (March 27), has been busy filming The Little Mermaid in London. Big sister Chloe took some time on her sister’s big day to send her warm wishes.

“My Halle,” Chloe began affectionately. She continued, “thank you for always putting up with my silly ways, always being a listening ear, and always having my back. i will always protect you. happy birthday you beautiful being.”

She paired the sweet message with snaps of the pair when they were just toddlers, including one where Chloe is feeding her younger sister a bottle. In the pictures depicting the sisters much younger, their age difference is much more visible, shocking many who still thought they were twins. 

“y’all ain’t twins???” wrote one person underneath the birthday dedication. The mass belief that the two were twins was enough to provoke 22-year-old Chloe to respond directly in a separate tweet.  

Laughing along with people, she jokingly wrote, “i’m laughing at how y’all are so shocked that we’re not twins,” with tons of laughing emojis. She added, “this happens every year lol.” 

Chloe will be turning 23 this summer, while younger sister Halle just become of drinking age over the weekend. Happy Birthday to Halle! 

Boosie Badazz had Instagram ablaze last night after footage of the rapper slapping a man across the face went viral. It turns out that it was only for a video shoot but just days prior, Boosie did put out a casting call for someone who was willing to get slapped in the face for $554. Boosie really did slap the hell out of the man but it was all love after the video shoot ended.

Unfortunately, the clip may have played a role in why Boosie’s IG page vanished. Apparently, the rapper didn’t end up deleting his Instagram account as many people believed was the case. It was Instagram that ultimately suspended his account, again. Now, Boosie is no stranger to being kicked off the ‘Gram. Last year, his IG Live got pretty X-Rated which prompted the social media site to ban his account. 

Boosie hasn’t seen any success in retrieving his old account, even after threatening to file a lawsuit against Mark Zuckerberg. Despite the many attempts to get in contact with the social media mogul, it seems that Mark Zuckerberg is out of reach for the Louisiana legend. This morning, Boosie took to Twitter where he put Zuckerberg on blast. “@zuck u just a racist,” he tweeted. Boosie certainly isn’t the first person to make this remark towards Zuckenberg, nor will he be the last but we can only hope that Boosie’s IG saga comes to an end in the near future. 

Jumpman is set to have a massive 2021 and it has already provided some great shoes to start off the year. One capsule of sneakers that people have had their eyes on is the “To My First Coach” collection, which is set to provide some colorful offerings to the market. Well, recently, the Air Jordan 1 Mid was added to the list, and you can actually see the official images for the new model, below.

Perhaps the most obvious detail here is the gold Wings logo which says “To My First Coach.” As for the rest of the sneaker, we have white side panels and a white Nike swoosh on the outside, all while the tongue and the laces are white, as well. From there, the toe box is a shade of grey, with some pastel blue bordering it on the edge. Yellow overlays then come up the sides, all while the back heel and cuff are orange. This colorful mix leads to a unique aesthetic, that should leave fans excited for the eventual release.

No date has been set for these, although they will be a women’s exclusive, so only small feet will be able to get into them. As always, keep it locked to HNHH for all of the latest updates from the sneaker world.

This season has been massive for the New York Knicks who continue to win and put themselves in position for a playoff appearance. It’s hard to believe this is the case considering where the team was just a year ago, although their roster is filled with solid talent who truly believe in the program that is being brought forth by Tim Thibodeau. For instance, last night, the Knicks defeated the Milwaukee Bucks to bring their record to 24-22.

Unfortunately, the Knicks lost out on a player as Mitchell Robinson fractured his foot. Robinson came back from a fractured hand recently, which makes this new injury that much more devastating. After the game, Robinson took to Twitter to describe how he felt about it all.

“Been taking a beating all year long smfh,” he wrote. The injury also came as a bit of a surprise to the likes of Derrick Rose who is Robinson’s teammate. In fact, Rose learned of the injury while being interviewed on Live TV after the game, and he seemed to be quite shaken up by the news.

This is obviously a disappointing setback for Robinson, although he has the Knicks fans behind him, which will certainly make the recovery process a bit more bearable.

The premise of The Wendy Williams Show is essentially hearing uninformed and hot takes by the host. While entertaining for the most part, her latest opinion on Bobby Shmurda was received to a polarizing reaction. The talk show host said she believes Bobby Shmurda will end up in prison after his parole conditions were revealed. 

“He’s on parole until 2026 and this young man is only 26-years-old and he’s a rapper and there’s a certain quality of life, or not life, that you lead which led him to jail to begin with,” she said before referring to his conditions regarding substances. “See, here’s what I think, though. Don’t be offended Shmurda, but I think you’ll be in trouble before the middle of the summer comes. I do.”

Many began to rail against Wendy Williams for what many perceived to be wishing jail upon a young Black man who was only recently released. Her pessimism alone prompted her ex-husband Kevin Hunter to issue a disclaimer on behalf of himself and their son. “Hopefully in the future my son’s mother will do more research.. but in the meantime, the ‘VIEWS’ currently being expressed do not reflect that of my son or myself, we do not wish jail or incarceration on ANYONE,” he wrote with a 100 emoji.

Many agreed though the mutual consensus on his recent post was that no one asked or implemented him in Wendy’s comments. Check his post out below.  

Lil Nas X’s brand new song “MONTERO” has led to a lot of reactions on social media, and there are some people out there who are extremely offended by what he put out. Of course, the music video features Lil Nas X giving Satan a lap dance, which is the main scene that has many freaking out online. The overreactions have been pretty hilarious to witness, although some are taking it much further than others.

For instance, retired NBA player Nick Young took to Twitter saying that in his household, Lil Nas X will no longer be played. “My kids will never play Old Town road again. I’m still debating about wearing @Nike after this come nike a drop of blood for real.” This then led to a response from Lil Nas X, which was sarcastic in nature.

“They shouldn’t be playing old town road anyway, we streaming call me by your name now,” he said. Young did not give a retort to Lil Nas X on this one although it’s clear the young artist doesn’t care about what Swaggy P has to say.

The former NBA star had a big problem with the new Nike Air Max 97 that is coming out in Nas’ honor, although at this point, we don’t think the “Old Town Road” artist really cares. Those joints are going to sell out instantly, no matter who does or doesn’t co-sign them.
