Tierra Whack Reveals Will Smith Is Her Uncle

Tierra Whack is getting to release her highly-anticipated debut album titled WORLD WIDE WHACK… and she’s celebrating all over the country in true Tierra Whack style.

On Sunday, March 3rd, the Philadelphia native celebrated the project by hosting a release party exhibition in Los Angeles, allowing fans to enter the surrealist world of Whack in real time. In collaboration with conceptual artist Alex Da Corte, the two Philly natives partnered to bring WORLD WIDE WHACK to life, creating a visual art project that showcases a day in the life of Whack’s fictional character.

The Source had the opportunity to chat with Tierra Whack about the moment she fell in love with Hip-Hop, as she struggled to name her favorite Lauryn Hill song. This served as the first event, with album listenings in New York and Philly to conclude.

What was the moment you fell in love with Hip-Hop?

When I heard The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. Top the bottom, my favorite album of all time. It will never change. 

Favorite song off the album?

No, I can’t choose! Don’t make me do that…I can’t. I can’t choose. I know each and every song top to bottom. [gasps]

Favorite song right now?

“Nothing Even Matters.” No, “To Zion.” No, “Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You.” No, “Everything is Everything.” I’ll do that one. I’ll label that one.

For Philly one time, how was it being with Meek Mill and Kevin Hart? 

Yo, Kevin is hilarious in real life. You gotta just hang with them, you gotta be around him. He is exactly how he is on screen, in person. And Meek is my brother, that’s forever family.

Best memory of being with Willow in Paris?

Me and Willow were just eating at a restaurant, cracking up and laughing at everything. We’re people watching and being crazy. She’s so cool. That’s my cousin, so family.

Blood cousin?

Yeah. Will [Smith] is my uncle.

Coach Caught Wind Of Cardi B’s ‘Like What’ Lyric Seemingly Dissing Their Bags And Came Through With A Response

Last week, Cardi B came through with a new music drop, unveiling “Like What (Freestyle).” On the track, some noticed that Cardi seems to go after the Coach brand, as she says in the chorus, “Like a Coach bag, baby, this ain’t what you want.” Two things there: The intent behind the lyric isn’t what it might seem, and Coach has offered a response to the song.

In a video shared over the weekend, Cardi explained that the lyric wasn’t a dig at Coach, but was instead a reference to Cam’ron and Vado’s 2011 song “Hey Muma,” which features the lyric, “Yo, girl, get a notepad (for what?) / You ain’t got no swag / And you so fine, it’s so sad / Still riding coach, need a Coach bag / Let me coach you, no Coach tags (what that mean?) / Get rid of that Coach bag.”

Coach saw that video and replied on X (formerly Twitter), “We love Cardi!! [heart emoji].” Cardi shared Coach’s post and added, “[weary face emoji] love [heart emoji].”

Meanwhile, Cardi recently hinted at more new music coming soon, saying in a video, “I’m not letting my anxiety, I’m not letting what haters say, I’m not letting what fans say… if I do a song, I’m gonna just f*cking drop it. Well, I got no choice because I’m dropping my album this year, so stay tuned for the announcement. But don’t play with me!”

Megan Thee Stallion’s 2024 Anime Awards Interview Revealed Her Comfort Show, Favorite Genre, And More

Megan Thee Stallion has been bridging the gap between hot girls and weebs since her 2018 breakout and anime streamer Crunchyroll took notice, embracing the Houston rapper’s support by making her a presenter at this year’s Anime Awards in Japan. While on the red carpet ahead of the show, Meg participated in a quick red-carpet interview for TikTok, showing of her otaku (Japanese for “fan”) cred by sharing her go-to comfort shows, defending her favorite anime genre, and name-checking which show’s characters she’d recruit as backup dancers.

Apparently, Thee Stallion is a big fan of the action genre, saying, “As soon as the anime come on, I wanna the city getting tore up. The city need to be destroyed on the first go. I need to understand why you’re mad, what is the character development story, what are we going through — take me on that ride with you.” For back up dancers, she says the fabolous fits of the JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure crew would make them shoo-ins for for the role, while her comfort shows include ’90s classics Inuyasha and YuYu Hakusho, which she says she’ll even fall asleep watching (how she can do that with all the yelling and explosions is beyond me).

Meg’s put her love for action anime on display a number of times throughout her career, doing elaborate photoshoots in cosplay and even performing as Sailor Moon in Japan a few years ago. She’s had a first-look deal in place with Netflix since 2021 — wouldn’t it be fun to see Meg get her own anime one day?

Megan Thee Stallion is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Mase Reacts To Gisele Bundchen Cheating Allegations By Offering A Warning To Men Everywhere

by

Mase is someone who does not mince words when he feels a particular way about a topic. In fact, recently, he has been able to speak freely on his show It Is What It Is. Overall, the show with Cam’ron has been a massive success. They talk about a plethora of sports topics, and they will even move the conversation to pop culture if they have to. Most recently, they spoke on the Tom Brady rumors regarding Gisele Bundchen. It was alleged that she was cheating on Brady with her personal trainer, and as you can imagine, Mase had a lot to say on this.

In fact, the artist issued a warning to men with girlfriends and wives. Essentially, he said to be weary if a woman ever hires a male personal trainer. “Whenever you break up with somebody it’s like a death, you go through the grieving process, you get angry, all of those things. That’s just what they say,” Mase said. “But to say that he’s finally realized she was cheating: did he not know before? Lemme tell you fellas something: if the girl got a trainer, number one, she coulda got a female trainer. The fact that she got a male trainer is already kinda like a red flag.”

Mase Weighs In

“And if he wear those kind of pants, pause, like them Dry-Fit Nike pants, that’s really tight, pause. And then he wanna wear the shirt with his company on it. He probably smashin’,” he continued. “Cause he’s constantly telling her, ‘Go down; get up; go deeper.’ So in her mind, she’s used to hearing ’em say all of this. It’s gonna be almost like he’s planning Brady’s demise by doing this. He settin’ her up.” Needless to say, Mase feels very strongly about this issue. At the end of the day, he is just looking out for his fellow men.

Nicki Minaj’s Viral Dance Choreographer Clears The Air After Being Called Out Online

by

Canadian internet personality Donté Colley has shared another update on the ongoing drama involving the dance choreography for Nicki Minaj’s “FTCU.” He claims he isn’t getting an opportunity to collaborate nor proper credit for his work on a dance for the track.

“I have an update,” he began in a new video. “So, let me get into it. I was reached out to by a member of her team and I wasn’t after payment for this. I was just looking for the opportunity to potentially collaborate and receive credit. Neither one of those options seemed possible and have been rejected. I want to thank you so much for your words of encouragement. Y’all saw something, knew it wasn’t right, and brought it to my attention and we should be uplifting and supporting each other and continuing to do so. So, I encourage other artists to seek credit for their work.”

Minaj previously addressed Colley’s request for credit in a tweet from last month. “I thought a lady Zara made it up?” she wrote at the time.”Thought she was an artist having fun w|it…? so glad barbz brought it2 my attention in time [making me proud as always]. I’ll have Casper reach out to this VERY TALENTED & seemingly VERY sweet guy ASAP to figure out the best way to make him feel seen, appreciated & paid.” From there, someone from Minaj’s team explained why they weren’t working with Colley on the tour. “Please STOP spreading false narratives,” they wrote on Twitter. “We offered to pay him as a choreographer even though it was less than 10 seconds of choreo that we altered. ALSO offered him tix to his hometown w/ a meet a greet. He declined all this & demanded a shoutout and to get dance on stage w/ her!”

LaMelo Ball Gifts Adonis A Signed Jersey, Fans Have Mixed Reactions

by

Drake’s ties to the NBA and the sports world in general is very strong. The players adore him, and he loves to attend the biggest games. He was there for the incredible and improbable 2019 championship run his hometown Raptors went on. Drizzy’s passion for basketball is so strong that he is getting his son Adonis into it. They have been courtside together and he is even getting involved in playing as much as possible. Over the past couple of years, Adonis has taken a liking to certain players in the NBA, and one of them is LaMelo Ball.

According to Bleacher Report, Drake’s son drew a picture of the Charlotte Hornets star point guard. LaMelo saw it and he wound up gifting him a pair of his signature PUMA basketball kicks. The reaction can be found below and it is straight up adorable seeing Adonis so excited. With that connection being forged since last year, the two finally got to meet each other in person this past weekend.

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

The Hornets had to travel to Toronto last night, so it was the perfect opportunity. Adonis and a friend of his got to meet LaMelo in the locker room and the injured franchise player had a special gift for him. It was a signed jersey with a message written on the back. It said, “Go be great gang!! 1 of 1 rare not from here.” Unfortunately, Ball did not have a special surprise for Adonis’ buddy and that left some fans feeling a little disappointed. On person writes, “Other kid ain’t get s*** that’s crazy.” Another adds, “That’s kinda messed up tho. That kid is not gonna understand but that’s gotta hurt. If you cannot give to both don’t give them both nothing. Don’t do that.”

What are your thoughts on LaMelo Ball giving Adonis a signed jersey? Do you think he should not have gifted him anything since the other kid did not get a gift? Or, do you think the fans are overreacting to this situation? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Adonis and LaMelo Ball. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on around the world of sports.

Mathew Knowles Blasts Haters For Criticizing Beyonce’s Hair Care Line

by

Beyonce’s new hair line Cécred is getting a lot of positive excitement from fans… yet not everyone’s on board. Moreover, a lot of folks pointed out that she wears extensions, and thus questioned what she really knows about natural hair. In addition to this, folks had other criticisms of the superstar’s initiative concerning her supposedly taking advantage of this business for her gain without really knowing much about it. However, this is all just speculative, and her father doubled down on this. TMZ caught up with Mathew Knowles in New York City recently and asked him about the hair care company.

“I know nothing about the hair care line,” Mathew Knowles said of Beyonce’s latest move in business and pop culture. “We [he and his then-wife Tina Knowles] had a salon. I don’t know what to tell you but, you know, we had a hair salon for 17 years, and it was the top hair salon in Houston. Uh, must have some credibility, right? Seventeen years, top hair salon. I’ll let you guys figure it out.” It’s clear that the Destiny’s Child manager wants for folks to just see this skill for themselves rather than make assumptions.

Beyonce’s Father Thinks Cécred Criticism Is Unfounded: Watch

However, speaking of Destiny’s Child -– and responding to backlash -– Mathew Knowles also spoke on another member’s recent controversy. TMZ also asked him about Kelly Rowland supposedly walking out of The Today Show because her dressing room was too small. “Oh, Kelly is a sweetheart,” he replied when confronted about whether or not he thinks she would do something like that. Kelly lived with us, I look at Kelly as my daughter. I don’t know what happened, but I can tell you one thing I do know. She’s not a diva, she’s a sweetheart, and that’s all I know! I don’t keep up with it like I used to.”

Meanwhile, other folks are walking back their criticisms of Queen Bey for other reasons. Joe Budden recently apologized for refusing to speak on her new country singles. We’ll see if there’s a similar turnaround on Cécred. On that note, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and more updates on Beyoncé and her father Mathew Knowles.
