Azealia Banks Cuts Ties With Parlophone Record Label, Says They’re “Silly Fragile White Liars”

by

In the past, Azealia Banks has thrown shade at no shortage of fellow celebrities. In particular, she’s been publicly hating on figures like Kanye West, Eminem, and Beyoncé for the internet’s entertainment. Her latest rant, though, finds the “Luxury” artist dissing her own record label.

As Dazed reports, the New Yorker confirmed her deal with Parlophone in November 2022. At the time she took to her Instagram Story to share the good news, writing, “Bitches I just got signed to Warner/Parlophone UK! I’m coming home. I did it. I wasn’t going to let you down.”

The label later verified the news on its own Twitter account. However, it seems the relationship between them and Banks has taken a turn for the worst in the nearly three months since. Earlier this week, she ranted about her experiences in a series of Stories written over a black screen.

“This staff is full of really silly fragile white liars,” she began before dubbing the roster to be “full of corny losers.” Among her fellow signees are acts like Coldplay, David Guetta, and Sam Ryder of Eurovision Song Contest fame. “Like how many idiots does it take to screw in a fucking lightbulb?” the controversial star’s post went on.

It seems Banks is feeling frustration over delays in her music dropping. Her previously teased “New Bottega” single will be available on streaming this week, she says. “That shit was stressing me TF OUT,” the 31-year-old added of working Parlophone.

Of course, she didn’t stop there. “I don’t get dropped, I drop the label,” another Story reads, referencing lyrics from Jay-Z’s “On to the Next One.” Afterward, she wrote “LMAO PUSSIES” for good measure.

At this time, Parlophone hasn’t responded to Banks’ comments.

Banks is famously known for her Instagram antics, and late last year, some fans were concerned that the platform gave her the boot after she publicly dissed Nicki Minaj.

LeBron James Restrained After Heckler Makes Fun Of Hairline

by

After losing to the Los Angeles Clippers 133 to 115 on Wednesday (January 25), a heckler bashed Lakers star LeBron James for his hairline. In fact, LeBron looked quite frustrated in general after 48 points on his end and yet another lost game. Still, it’s no reason for fans to harass him at his games, as it’s the kind of hate that you don’t want to clap back to.

Overall, LeBron is quite used to the heckles and jokes, and he’s answered such jabs with one of the all-time greatest NBA careers. However, it’s a lot easier to mitigate hateful comments online, especially not in your home court. Moreover, an unidentified fan scolded the 38-year-old for his hair.

“Hey, Brown, you better get this s**t together,” they screamed, “with that receding a** hairline!” Upon that phrase, James noticed the fan and stopped in his tracks to address him. However, a referee held him back by beckoning him beyond the court. “Look, he’s mad, look at him! You sick,” he continued before laughing and turning the camera away. What’s more is that people called for him to stop during the clip.

As such, many on social media brought in jokes of their own or called out this toxic behavior. “Not this giggle at the end… sir sit down and eat them nuts,” one user wrote via Instagram. Another commented, “Can ppl come to your job and harass you? Especially after a tough day at work, yall would be ready to scuffle too!” Meanwhile, other people treated it as dirt on LeBron’s shoulder. “If the only problem he has is a hairline s**t life is good!!” one user wrote.

Moreover, the NBA superstar aims to break Kareem Abdul-Jabar’s scoring record for the regular season, and he’s dangerously close. Most recently, however, he commented on his son Bronny’s college aspirations and what team he might land on. Reportedly, he’s between Oregon, USC, and Ohio State.

“I think Bronny can go to any college he wants to,” LeBron expressed. “All I have to do is pick up the phone. If Bronny says he wants to go there, he’s good enough.”

Still, what do you think of a heckler bothering LeBron James over his hairline? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, come back to HNHH for more NBA highlights and antics.

Kylie Jenner Reacts To TikTok Poking Fun At Her & Travis Scott’s Son’s Name: Video

by

No matter what Kylie Jenner does, due to her A-list celebrity status, she frequently falls victim to online criticism. Whether for her on-again-off-again relationship with Travis Scott, exuberant wealth, or her fashion choices, the 25-year-old is no stranger to having social media rip into her.

The talk of the town lately has been the new name bestowed upon the socialite’s youngest child with the rapper. Shortly after his birth, the couple chose Wolf Webster thanks to a recommendation from big sister Khloé Kardashian.

“We didn’t really have a name. I just thought it was going to come to us when we saw him and it didn’t,” Jenner previously told the world on The Late Late Show with James Corden. “Twenty-four hours before we had to sign the birth certificate, or else they just register him without a name and he doesn’t get a social security number.”

The mother of two went on, “I  like the WW, so we just put Wolf Webster in that moment. Right after I signed the birth certificate, I was like, “What did I just do?” It’s a part of his story but his name has changed.”

For several months, fans were kept in the dark regarding the infant’s new title. Just a few days ago, however, Jenner broke the internet. At the time she unveiled her baby’s name – Aire – and adorable face all at once.

It’s undoubtedly one of the more unique options out there. The world has been having a field day poking fun at how it came to be. In one TikTok, a creator plays both Kylie and Travis as they decide on their son’s name.

Using the opening narration from Avatar: The Last Airbender, they list off the four elements in character as the makeup mogul. When she gets to “air,” the Utopia rapper jumps to his feet, signalling an interest.

The comedic clip has since earned over 2M likes and countless comments – including one from Jenner. Beneath the clip, she dropped off two crying laughing emojis. This lets the world know she’s laughing at their antics along with them.

Aside from the commentary surrounding her baby, Jenner has also been facing heat for a few of her Paris Fashion Week looks. First, she donned a giant lion’s head for the Schiaparelli couture show. After that, her Givenchy noose necklace had Twitter users throwing mega shade.

Read all about that here, and let us know what you think of Aire Webster’s name in the comments below.

Akademiks Gets Egged In The Face During Stream

by

There’s hardly ever a dull moment on Akademiks’ stream — even if he falls asleep. Though Ak typically only has guests call in during his stream, he wasn’t alone on a recent stream.

As Akademiks discussed the latest development in the FBG Duck murder case, a woman, who many believe is his girlfriend, began hurling things at him during the stream. At one point, Akademiks gets hit in the face with a Red Bull can. Then, the tension builds up and the woman takes a raw egg and smashes it in Ak’s face. Surprisingly, no one noticed immediately as it happened but Ak was left speechless.

Aside from the recent egging, Akademiks and Blueface have continued to throw shots at each other. Following Blueface and Chrisean Rock of public disputes, Akademiks and Blue began to criticize each other of their rap careers and money. Ultimately, it hit a boiling point, and Blueface proposed that they enter the ring to settle their differences.

“Fight the 10 Ni***as who piped ya girl out + the the girl who keep beating ur ass and IM100% down Nigga. MMA shit,” Akademiks wrote. “Imma buy ur foreclosure house and kick u and ur child and the mother of ur child out and the 10 niggas she done f*cked!!!!!”

Akademiks later doubled down, adding that he has $50K to determine whether Blue’s the father of Chrisean Rock’s child.

“I got $5 K per N***a who F*cked BLUEFACE girl who down to get on my twitch stream breaking it down how it happened,” Akademiks continued. “F*ck maury. BIG AK finna do a paternity test for that broke Ass N***ga BLUEFACE . Im pledging $50k for this effort. WHO GOT BLUEFACE girl pregnant.”

In response, Blue wrote, “Ak is offering 5k to 10 n****s to take the fade for him. I must be the big bad wolf or some cuz he was so gangsta for lil baby.”

Ally Lotti Accepts Plea Deal After Drug Arrest, Juice WRLD’s Ex Won’t Face Jail Time

by

Following the tragic death of Juice WRLD back in 2019, his past girlfriend, Ally Lotti, has had a lot to say about her late lover. From giving a heartfelt speech during his Rolling Loud tribute to keeping his memory alive on her Instagram page, her affection for the rapper has been evident over the years.

A piece of her heart will surely always belong to the Chicago native. However, she’s been dating Carter Jamison as of late. Unfortunately, the two got in some serious trouble earlier this month after shoplifting at an Arkansas Walmart.

A TMZ report reveals that the store’s security cameras allegedly saw the couple at a self-checkout station. At the time, they apparently failed to scan several of their items. Among them were wall mirrors, a bed frame, a bath towel, and a digital scale.

The arresting officer searched Lotti and Jamison, finding capsules of cocaine in the former’s pocket and purse, documents state. Luckily, they had high-profile attorney Bradford Cohen on their side, and he says the whole thing “seems like a misunderstanding.”

According to the lawyer, his clients thought they scanned and paid for all their items. Additionally, a Walmart employee allegedly gave their transaction the green light by checking their receipt. “[They] would never take something intentionally,” Cohen states.

Despite this, Lotti still plead guilty to misdemeanour possession of instruments of crime. She was given a one-year sentence, but later saw a suspension in favour of six months of probation. If the young woman manages to stay clean during that time, her case will be dismissed.

Her initial charges were felony possession of methamphetamine, cocaine, or heroin and misdemeanour theft of property. For Jamison’s part, he was also taken in for property theft. After pleading no contest, he’s facing the same sentence as his girlfriend. The two of them also have $1,160 in fines to pay.

Shortly after the Walmart arrest incident earlier this month, Lotti’s boyfriend gave her a fancy new Benz that was promptly shown off on social media. See that for yourself here, and check back later for more hip-hop crime news updates.

Young Thug Looks Tired In Court Video

by

As Young Thug’s trial continues to develop, the Atlanta rapper already looks tired and done with court in a new video. While there’s been no shortage of notable moments or important decisions, Thugger rested his head on a table as if it was all passing him by with the same boredom. Moreover, the last court antic he experienced was an impromptu drug deal that left him stunned, according to his lawyers.

“It is patently clear from the images that there was no communication, solicitation or request from Mr. Williams prior to that,” they stated. “It is absolutely bewildering as to why the state would blatantly misrepresent the reason for the cessation of courtroom activities in its motion when it knew that assertion was inaccurate.”

Still, authorities searched co-defendant Kahlieff Adams after he tried to hand Thug a Percocet during a hearing. Moreover, they found more drugs like marijuana and additional pills. Since this isn’t the only time YSL co-defendants have tried to smuggle contraband, this case has everyone on edge. Many pray for YSL’s triumph, but some question their actions more stringently.

Regardless, Thug’s judge excused several jurors from trial after many requested an exit. The reasons vary; some cited financial hardship, while another sought dismissal because of surgery just weeks prior. At this moment, it’s hard to say how these excusals will affect Thug’s case. Even if these might be jurors that would’ve helped the 31-year-old, the case is too difficult to call.

Also, these new developments struck readers with a different context this time around after we learned of Thug’s come-up recently. Furthermore, T.I. explained why he didn’t give any money to him or to 21 Savage as they blew up.

“I find it honorable to be able to tell new artists, when they come up to me—you know. 21 Savage, [Young] Thug, a lot of ’em come up to me, ‘Ay man, just give me a million, Tip. Just give me a million. I don’t care what you do. Just give me a million and let me handle it from there.’”

“If I give you a million,” he continued, “I gotta take back some that’s gon’ be way more and we ain’t gon’ be able to be friends no more. And I always tell them, don’t worry about the money up front ’cause it gon’ come. I remember telling that to Slime, I remember telling that to 21. And even Savage, anytime he see me now, ‘Hey, it came.’ That put a smile on my face because I just know how impactful every generation has the opportunity to be. even more than the last.”

However, what do you think of Young Thug looking tired in court in a new video? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest updates in the YSL trial.

6ix9ine Gives Out Alcohol At Miami Restaurant, Is Promptly Thrown Out

by

Once again, Tekashi 6ix9ine is up to no good. Most headlines surrounding the New York native as of late have been about him dissing Gunna or dropping his location on Instagram. This past weekend, however, he was causing trouble out on the town in Miami with a large entourage alongside him.

An exclusive report from Page Six reveals that the rapper and approximately 20 of his friends got the boot from El Tiesto Cafe earlier this week. The incident took place on Sunday (January 22) night as a result of the 26-year-old’s reckless behaviour.

Sources tell the outlet that 6ix9ine went behind the establishment’s bar without permission. Afterward, he picked up bottles of tequila to pour into patrons’ mouths without charging them.

At the same time, some of the “MAMA” artist’s friends began dancing on top of the Dominican-Japanese restaurant’s bars. The staff reportedly asked them not to do so, and didn’t hesitate to take forcible action to end their antics. Around 8:20 PM ET, Tekashi and co. had an escort take them out of the building.

Surprisingly, the exit may not have been on totally bad terms. Before leaving for the night, 6ix9ine allegedly hugged someone near the security stand. A source informed Page Six that “he’s friends with the owner,” and is a frequent visitor of El Tiesto.

The controversial figure left with most of his crew and a bodyguard. He spent a few minutes standing by his multicoloured Rolls Royce before eventually driving off to the next destination. In the vehicle with him was allegedly a female passenger in the front seat and a male in the rear.

After 6ix9ine dipped, a few of his friends stayed behind, sitting by the bar. About 20 minutes after the former gang member’s exit, a police officer arrived, but no arrests were made.

Elsewhere in the news, and in light of the YSL rapper’s release from jail, celebrity attorney Bradford Cohen broke down the differences between 6ix9ine and Gunna’s plea deals, and the “snitch” labels they’re both being hit with.

Lil Baby’s Son Jason Iced Out With 2 Incredible Pendants Totalling Over 7 Carats

by

They’re facing criticism from the general public right now, but for the most part, being a “nepo baby” comes with endless perks. From TV and movie roles offered out without any real skill to the most incredible wardrobes, often gifted free from major brands, the life of luxury certainly sounds like a good one. Most recently, Lil Baby’s 7-year-old son, Jason Armani Jones, proved that you don’t even need to have completed elementary school to reap the full benefits.

According to TMZ, the “Never Recover” hitmaker recently took a trip to Icebox Diamonds & Watches. The store is apparently “his home away from home.” Skylar Langfeldt tells the outlet that the rapper requested smaller diamond emblems. He wanted them modelled after a few of his own pre-existing pieces.

The first is a recreation of Baby’s 4PF chain, which has more than 70 carats. Jason’s is still a major flex for someone his age. It consists of just over 5 carats of VS diamonds with blue and green enamel accents, in comparison.

Additionally, the 28-year-old wanted to make his and his little one’s trips to State Farm Arena even more special. As you may know, the two frequently watch the Atlanta Hawks play from the courtside. Now, they have matching emblems to wear on their already-stylish nights out together.

Langfeldt revealed that the second pendant commissioned by Baby for Jason has an impressive two carats of diamonds. It also has 25 grams of gold. The Quality Control artist’s is much bigger in comparison, boasting 20 carats of diamonds and 150 grams of white gold.

Of course, the It’s Only Me lyricist doesn’t just spoil his child with luxury gifts. He’s also in the midst of building a dream playroom for his oldest.

In other news, Lil Baby is one of the artists recently announced as a part of the 2023 Governor’s Ball lineup. He’s not a headliner (Lizzo, Odesza, and Kendrick Lamar nabbed that honour), but the Atlanta spitter is one of the most highly anticipated sets on the list.

See the full roster of artists scheduled to perform this coming June in NYC here. Afterward, tell us your thoughts on Jason’s new jewelry in the comment section.

Akademiks Responds After Blueface Challenges Him To A Fight

by

Akademiks and Blueface might square up eventually following their back-and-forth.

Since the beginning of the month, the California rapper and the media personality have traded shots at each other. Ak’s criticized Blueface’s music career while Blue claimed he was wealthier. However, things continued to heat up after Blue took shots at Ak on No Jumper. Then, Ak revealed that Blueface’s $1.5M home is in pre-foreclosure.

Blue later explained that the pre-foreclosure Akademiks is talking about is his second home. He added that there have been many reports labeling the home a “nuisance” due to too many 911 calls.

After Akademiks brought up Blueface’s comments about Drake, the “Thotiana” rapper brought up Ak’s proposal to fight Lil Baby. “I’ll take da fade,” Blue tweeted alongside the clip.

“Bet not turn the fade down after you said all that for lil baby your next response better be yo best caught you Ina mouse trap now,” Blue added. The rapper previously showed out in a celebrity boxing match against Kane Trujillo. He’s evidently aiming for another round with Akademiks as his next opponent in line.

“Had all the energy for lil baby tho cuz said actually I’m not boxing you,” Blue continued. Blueface also shared a clip of Akademiks declining to fight the ATL rapper.

Though it took a minute, Akademiks eventually agreed to fight Blueface but under one condition. “Fight the 10 N***as who piped ya girl out + the the girl who keep beating ur ass and IM 100% DOWN,” Akademiks eventually tweeted in response.

Afterward, Akademiks said that he’s willing to take on Maury’s role and offer $50K for the paternity test.

“I got $5 K per N***a who F*cked BLUEFACE girl who down to get on my twitch stream breaking it down how it happened,” Ak said. He also said that he’d include the paternity test. “F*ck maury. BIG AK finna do a paternity test for that broke Ass N***ga BLUEFACE . Im pledging $50k for this effort. WHO GOT BLUEFACE girl pregnant.”

We’ll keep you posted on any further updates surrounding Blueface and Akademiks’ feud.

Ts Madison Defends Beyoncé’s Dubai Performance Amid Criticism From LGBTQIA+ Community

by

After Beyoncé’s recent show in Dubai, Ts Madison just defended her after the LGBTQIA+ community criticized her choice to perform. Moreover, the activist spoke to TMZ as a member of that group herself to talk about the controversy. Furthermore, Madison said that Bey loves all her fans, despite performing in a country (United Arab Emirates) with horrible anti-LGBTQIA+ laws.

“Who mad at Beyoncé? Who?” Madison jokingly asked the TMZ crew.

“Listen, we were talking about it this morning in our other meeting,” they told Madison. “There are a lot of fans who just feel like she- the word that was used was that ‘she sold out.’ That’s the phrase people are using. What is your take on this, and the LGBTQ community, do they have a right to be upset with her?”

“Beyoncé is a superstar,” the activist and media personality began. Moreover, she said that Beyoncé cashes checks and performs all over the world. “People go to Dubai for many different reasons, and a lot of LGBTQIA people go to Dubai for a lot of those reasons,” she said with air quotes. “You know, Beyoncé went there for some of those same reasons. She went there to make her money.”

Furthermore, she stated that “everybody that loves Beyoncé and everybody that knows Beyoncé knows that Beyoncé loves the community. And not just loves the community. She dedicated an entire album which is, like, the album of the year to her fans, to the people that she loved. So, I personally saw it as: she went and got her bag.”

“You’re right,” the TMZ crew retorted, “but that does sound like it’s kind of the definition of selling out.”

“I wouldn’t say she sold out because she loves her fans,” she responded. “But tell me, I wanna ask any one of those folks over there if there were given $24 million- I heard it was $35 million. That’s what I heard.”

Moreover, the interviewers added: “I wouldn’t be surprised if it was that.”

“Any one of those girls would put on their wig, hair, makeup, lashes,” Madison said. “And run right over there to the Atlantis Hotel and gather their 35 million dollars and come right on back home. It’s still the same love for her fans. I’m not mad at her getting her money. She didn’t wave anti-LGBTQ flags, you know? She put on a concert, she got her money, and these were her fans.”

Still, what do you think of Ts Madison’s defense of Beyoncé’s Dubai show amid backlash from the LGBTQIA+ community? However you may feel, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, come back to HNHH for more stories on grandiose moments in music performance.
