Yung Miami Shares Interesting Message Amid Diddy Lawsuit Fallout

by

Since Cassie filed her bombshell lawsuit against Diddy in November, which contained countless damning allegations against him, the Bad Boy Records founder has been hit with several others. Most recently, producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones accused him of nonconsensual groping, showing him explicit content, and more. He additionally claims Diddy slept with two fellow artists, who fans speculate could be Meek Mill and Usher.

Throughout the drama of the mogul’s latest legal battle, fans have been curious about how Yung Miami is doing. She and Diddy are known to be something of a non-exclusive item. They’ve kept their distance in recent months, however, at least publicly. Some have since condemned the City Girl for opting to stay out of the conversation surrounding her man. Plenty of others are just concerned for her wellbeing. Considering some of the horrific things Diddy’s been accused of, supporters hope she’s not in danger.

Yung Miami Posts About Being Put On “A New Path”

Yung Miami has remained mostly silent about the controversy online, though one of her recent posts managed to get supporters speculating. She took to her Instagram Story earlier this week to share some words of wisdom, which some suspect could relate to the fallout from Diddy’s allegations. “Sometimes life doesn’t send you what you want,” the quote, originally penned by Lisa Buscomb, begins. “Sometimes life sends you chaos.”

The passage also notes how it can be painful when life “redirects you onto a new path, a different path, a better path.” Commenters theorize that Yung Miami could be going through it amid the allegations. They also speculate that she’s considering cutting ties with Diddy for good. What do you think of Yung Miami sharing words of wisdom on her Instagram Story? What do you think she means? How about Diddy’s latest lawsuit? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

SZA Visits Sesame Street, Shares Clip With Elmo & Old Tweet About Wanting To Join

by

SZA fulfilled one of her long-sought-after dreams as a musician and celebrity: having the honor of gracing the Sesame Street community. Moreover, she recently shared some clips and pictures on social media of her time at the kids’ television program. Not only that, but the TDE superstar also shared an old tweet of hers from 2017 on Instagram, in which she asks her followers how to get on the enduring classic show. As such, she now joins a long list of A-listers who’ve joined Elmo and the gang on the show, a crew that Lizzo also joined. She played a cookie flute on the series back in February of 2023.

In fact, this is kind of a notable addition to the Sesame Street canon because SZA and Lizzo are actually very good friends. Furthermore, it’s nice that they can bond over not just being two incredibly talented musicians and businesswomen, but also over their experience on the program. While anyone reading this probably isn’t in the demographic of Oscar the Grouch fans, it’s always nice to see these kinds of crossovers. After all, it at least gives folks hope that their kids can still be hip and learn a lot on this show.

SZA Shares Old Tweet After Joining Sesame Street

However, this is far from the only thing that SZA had to celebrate and promote this week. She, along with the likes of Vince Staples and James Blake, will headline Jack Harlow’s Gazebo Music Festival in Louisville, Kentucky’s Waterfront Park for Memorial Day Weekend (May 25-26). Given all of the St. Louis native’s great performances in the past couple of years, this should be fantastic business as usual. It’s actually a really solid lineup, so if you want to see her and a slew of versatile and talented artists, give it a look.

More Snaps From Solana’s Visit

Meanwhile, the “Saturn” songwriter probably has a lot more in store for fans this year. With the Lana deluxe of SOS still on the cards, we might just get another huge record to carry us through the year. Will we get that Bert and Ernie feature? Time will tell. For more news and the latest updates on SZA, keep checking in with HNHH.

The Weeknd Performs Unreleased “Take Me Back To LA” At Mike Dean Show

by

The Weeknd surprised fans by performing his unreleased song “Take Me Back To LA” during an appearance at Mike Dean’s concert in LA. The song dates back to 2020 and has been heard a handful of times during live performances but has never been officially released by The Weeknd. It is believed to be one of several tracks that The Weeknd has in his vault that he has chosen not to release over the years.

Online, fans were stoked to hear the song, begging for The Weeknd to officially release it. “Come back to 2024 Abel is please need that loft music type shit,” one fan wrote. “YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SONG FOR 4 YEARS BRO OMGGG 🔥🔥🔥🔥,” added another. How do you feel about “Take Me Back To LA”? Is it something you want to hear officially released? Let us know in the comments.

The Weeknd Revealed As Co-Writer For Upcoming Film Project

Elsewhere, The Weeknd has been revealed as a co-writer for an upcoming film from director Trey Edward Shults. Little is known about the project, but The Weeknd will also reportedly star alongside Jenna Ortega and Barry Keoghan. The untitled film is Shults’ first since 2019’s Waves. The film was an indie darling, scoring well with critics and audiences but failing to recoup its $6 million budget. Shults has two other feature films – 2015’s Krisha and 2017’s It Comes At Night.

However, Shults’ 2024 outing is shaping up to be his biggest yet. Ortega is one of the hottest stars in Hollywood following her massive 2023 with Wednesday and Scream VI. Meanwhile, Keoghan comes off the critically acclaimed Saltburn. As for The Weeknd, he will likely be hoping for a better-received screen outing after the critical disaster of HBO’s The Idol. A lot of criticism was leveled at the project from Euphoria‘s Sam Levinson. However, The Weeknd’s portrayal of primary antagonist Tedros was notably slammed by critics.

Happy 53rd Birthday To Wu Tang’s Method Man!

by
Method Man

On this date in 1971, the Shaolin Island emcee who was virtually named after the term “John Blaze”, was born in Long Island, New York.

Admired for his unique voice and witty lyrics, Method Man is known for his one of a kind sound. The Long Island-born/Staten Island bred rapper raised the bar for the ideal Shaolin emcee alongside Wu brothers Raekwon and Ghostface Killah. Trailblazing the 90s, Johnny Blaze has pioneered an impressive portion of verses that are considered as one of the greatest in hip-hop history. His unpredictably bouncy flow hit wax in 1993 on Wu-Tang’s debut Enter the Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers, which featured what would later become his anthem, “M.E.T.H.O.D. M.A.N.” His signature stance continued into creating essential tunes as featured in his 1994 solo debut, Tical, along with guest features on the solo debuts of fellow Wu members and the only featured emcee on Biggie’s Ready To Die LP.

The wavering style and persona of Method Man have allowed him to flourish in many different pursuits in both music and entertainment. His iconic r&b collaboration with Mary J. Blige  “I’ll Be There for You/You’re All I Need to Get By” is sanctioned as a cult classic and also snagged the class-act rapper a Grammy in 1996. Dubbing another innovative vibe, his musical duality with Redman became one of the most distinct and successful in the light of hip-hop duos, which triggered Method Man’s acting career. Bound to craft commendable works, starting from his role as Father Sha in Belly (1998), to How High, and now Power II: Book Of Ghost, the man with the iron lung has maintained a stellar track record of creating classics that are timeless. His deeds as an emcee, actor, showman, and overall creative make him one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time. A certified legend.

Happy born day to Meth!

Happy Heavenly Birthday To The “Grand Incredible” DJ Scott La Rock!

by
scott la rock

On this day in 1962, Scott Monroe Sterling known widely as DJ Scott La Rock of the famous Boogie Down Productions was born in the Bronx borough of New York City. Scott La Rock was the producer for rap icon KRS-One until his untimely death on August 27th, 1987.

La Rock was born in the Bronx, New York City, New York and was raised by his mother Carolyn Morant. As a child, he moved from Queens to the Morrisania neighborhood in the South Bronx then to the Morris Heights projects. La Rock attended Our Savior Lutheran High School where he was a great student and athlete. He originally intended to attend Castleton State University to play basketball but decided to switch his focus to music upon graduation. In college, he used to DJ at a local bar called Dugan’s Bar on Friday nights. From there his musical career blossomed.

La Rock graduated college in 1984 and returned to New York City. He worked a few jobs in the city while at night spinning records at the Broadway Repertoire Theatre. Through his work as a social worker, La Rock met his future partner in crime Kris Parker aka KRS-One at the Franklin’s Men’s Shelter. The two, along with Derrick Jones or DJ D-Nice, formed Boogie Down Productions.

In 1987 the group released their first LP, Criminal Minded, which has become a classic Hip Hop album. Criminal Minded has been ranked by The Source as one of the 100 Best Rap Albums. Rolling Stone ranked it as one of the 500 greatest albums. Complex Magazine ranks the track South Bronx from the album as #9 on their list of best diss-songs of Hip Hop.

La Rock life came to a stretching halt in 1987 due to senseless street violence. In an effort to support his friend and partner DJ D-Nice, La Rock was shot in the neck and died of his wound. As the story goes, La Rock, DJ D-Nice, Scotty “Manager Moe” Morris, DJ McBooo, and BDP bodyguard Darrell rolled up to the Highbridge Homes Projects in the South Bronx. They were there to handle a problem between D-Nice and a man who’s ex-girlfriend we was acquainted with at the time. After they handled their disagreement, bullet began to fly toward the white on red Jeep CJ-7 that they were riding in. La Rock was hit and later died at Lincoln Hospital within one hour of being shot.

KRS-One’s Stop the Violence Movement was a direct result of La Rock’s murder. Despite the loss of La Rock, KRS-One kept the Boogie Down Productions name alive and continued to release music and grow to be one of the most respected voices in Hip Hop. DJ Scott La Rock’s righteous legacy lives on forever through his music and the empire that he helped shape. Take some time today to listen to his classic album and pay some respect to his greatness.
