Megan Thee Stallion Says She’s “Not A Freak Anymore” While Discussing Her Sexual History

by

During a recent Instagram Live, Megan Thee Stallion had a busy time. In one clip from the Live, she played fans a portion of a scrapped song. But the mixed reaction from fans might have proved her decision to scrap the song correct. While some fans enjoyed the banger of a track, others thought Megan was sticking to her guns a bit too much using the same flows. But that wasn’t even the part of the Live that had the most fans talking.

In another clip from the livestream, she discusses how many people talk about her sexual history. She asks if most of her fans even listen to her music because all she ever hears about are the men she’s with. But that may not be the case for long going forward. She claims that she’s “turning over a new leaf” and doesn’t plan on continuing her involvement with men in the industry. She also says she’s “not a freak anymore” which came as a big surprise to fans who have heard her be pretty open about her desires for years. Check out the full clip below.

Megan Thee Stallion’s IG Live Revelation

Megan Thee Stallion had a relatively quiet first half of the year but she’s been busy recently. Last month, she played a pretty major role in a new movie. The A24-produced musical comedy Dicks: The Musical cast Megan in a particularly girlbossy role. She also got the chance to contribute to the film’s soundtrack with songs like “Out Alpha The Alpha.”

Earlier this month, she returned with her first true solo single of the year. The song is called “Cobra” and saw Megan getting more vulnerable and self-reflective than ever before. Fans are hoping that the track will serve as the lead single of a forthcoming new album soon, though no official announcement has been made.

Iman Shumpert Releases Statement On Teyana Taylor Divorce

by

News of Iman Shumpert and Teyana Taylor’s divorce already shocked the world a couple of months ago, but the new court filing added even more fuel to that fire. Moreover, according to secret documents that leaked online, she labeled him as a “narcissist,” and it turns out that infidelity might have played a role in their split. In fact, there are even rumors that the former basketball star leaked Taylor’s secret filing himself and then acted surprise at the news. Regardless of the truth or lies behind all that, we now have an official statement from him regarding this legal process. The 33-year-old’s attorney Stephen C. Steele gave TMZ some remarks on his next moves and priorities.

“Mr. Shumpert hopes parties and counsel can work toward a fair resolution, keeping the best interests of the children of paramount concern,” Iman Shumpert stated via his lawyer. This is a far cry from his initial reaction on social media, which suggested that he felt blindsided by this revelation and was not expecting it. Overall, in these early stages of the divorce process, it’s going to be hard to tell what is true and what is just gossip. With that in mind, the musician’s initial acknowledgement of their breakup points toward this being a relatively amicable process.

Iman Shumpert’s Brief Statement From Lawyer: Read

“AHT AHT! Not too much on my bestie!” Teyana Taylor wrote on social media back in September. “In all fairness, Iman and I are separated and have been for a while. To be 1000% clear, ‘infidelity’ ain’t one of the reasons for our departure. We are still the best of friends, great business partners and are one hell of a team when it comes to co-parenting our 2 beautiful children. Most importantly we are FAMILY & in the 10yrs together, 7yrs married we ain’t ever played with or about THAT.

“We just keep y’all a**es out the group chat lol,” she continued. “Which is the reason we’ve been able to successfully & peacefully separate without all of the outside noise. The only reason I’m even sharing THIS part of the chat is because the narratives are getting a little out of hand & it’s unfair to all parties involved. I hope this provided some clarity for y’all. Okay AunTey taking y’all back out the chat bye!” For more news and the latest updates on Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert, stick around on HNHH.

A post shared by Plies (@plies)

While Plies is often talking about whatever the hottest drama in rap and social media is at the time, there’s one person he consistently returns to. All year he’s been obsessed with commenting on pretty much anything Britney Spears does. Though his obsession dates back quite a while it was kicked into another gear around the middle of 2023. It got to be so prevalent that when Britney announced her divorce from Sam Asghari, people online blamed Plies. For his part, he celebrated the divorce announcement.

If anything, the divorce news shifted his obsession with the pop star into overdrive. Back in September, he described her as “his Beyonce” when she shared a video of herself dancing to social media. His tone was similar a month later when he reacted to a nude photo she shared. What do you think of Plies’ Thanksgiving jokes comparing injecting his turkey with butter to a BBL procedure? Let us know in the comment section below.

Kim Kardashian’s eldest child with Kanye West, North, is known for her outspoken demeanor. The spunky 10-year-old never shies away from sharing her thoughts, making for an endless supply of entertainment for fans. For this reason, it’s no surprise that she has quite a few hot takes on different celebrities, recently weighing in on City Girls’ Yung Miami.

In a new clip from The Kardashians, North is seen sitting on a couch watching the 2023 Met Gala, giving her opinions on those walking the carpet. Yung Miami then popped onto the screen, rocking a sheer black gown with a dramatic neckpiece, complete with some strands of pearls draped across her torso. While North didn’t appear to be explicitly disappointed by the look itself, she did have some qualms about its similarities to her mother’s.

North West Reacts To Yung Miami’s Met Gala Look

“She’s pretty… It’s just, stop copying my mom with those pearls,” she declared before flashing a peace sign. Kim K showed out in an extravagant custom-made Schiaparelli gown at the event. It famously featured upwards of “50,000 freshwater pearls” as well as “16,000 crystals.” While she had no issues coming to the defense of her mother’s look, North made it clear that she wasn’t a huge fan of that, either.

Later in the episode, she gave her take on the look to Schiaparelli’s creative director himself, Daniel Roseberry. “I like the pearls. I just don’t like that it comes from the dollar store,” she shared, claiming that it made her mom look like a “Hawaiian girl with her dress all ripped.” According to her, there were also “way too (many) gaps in the pearls,” and “the diamonds ruined it.” What do you think of North West’s reaction to Yung Miami’s 2023 Met Gala look? Do you agree with her? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
