Wack 100 Checks DJ Akademiks Over Gunna Snitching Allegations

by

It’s been less than a week since Gunna’s release from jail after taking a plea deal.

As the story and YSL’s RICO case as a whole continue to develop, many big names are weighing in on social media.

Last Thursday (December 15), 6ix9ine took to his Instagram account to publicly accuse the “Drip Too Hard” rapper of snitching in order to get out of jail.

The “KEKE” rapper’s manager, Wack 100 is now speaking out as well, sharing the same sentiments as his artist.

In an Instagram post yesterday (December 19), Wack shared his thoughts on Gunna taking the plea deal. He directly calls out DJ Akademiks in the process.

“@akademiks Stop bro … His statements were clearly on the RECORD … And the whole “DEFENSE” was #YSL IS NOT I REPEAT IS NOT A GANG JUST A RECORD LABEL… YOU HIM OR THEM CANT REWRITE THE LAWS OF #SNITCHING. CO-OPERATION WITH THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY MAKES U A CO OPERANT WHICH EQUALS #Telling,” he wrote.

His post comes after Akademiks shared screenshots of a conversation with Gunna’s attorney, Steve Sadow.

In the screenshots, the media personality asks Sadow if he can “publicly address how Gunna’s viral ‘yes ma’am video affects Thug and YSL if at all?”

“Doesn’t effect anyone but my client. Out of court statements at a plea hearing cannot come into evidence against someone else,” the attorney replies. He then confirms his consent for Akademiks to share this conversation online.

Sadow has been extremely busy since his client’s release, insisting that there is no authenticity behind the rumors.

However, it seems as though Wack and 6ix9ine aren’t buying it.

“Gunna did not snitch to get out of jail. He has said nothing and is not cooperating. His plea statement cannot be used in court against any other defendant. So please stop spreading lies!!!” the attorney wrote in an Instagram post on December 15.

Additionally, Sadow says that the Georgie native plans to plead the 5th if he’s called to testify against his YSL crew.

On the other hand, Thugger’s attorney, Brian Steel, is speaking out about how these plea deals affect his client. He says that these deals being offered to other members of YSL indicate that the “Best Friend” rapper is evidently being targeted.

Based on the information that we have, what do you think about the situation? Can the snitching rumors finally be put to rest? As always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest updates.

Tory Lanez Not Charged With Witness Intimidation, Court Says Juror 39 Rode With Him In An Elevator

by

We’re hardly more than a week into Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez’s trial. Already, though, the world is struggling to keep up with all the details pouring out of the courtroom. Seeing as this trial isn’t on full display like Johnny Depp and Amber Heard’s was previously this year, we’ve had a much less intimate look at what’s been going on behind closed doors.

What we know so far is that the Houston native’s former BFF, Kelsey Harris, didn’t come through. Prior to her time on the stand the prosecution said she would confirm that she was a witness to Lanez shooting her friend. Her testimony was instead full of forgetful moments, which have some (including Keri Hilson) speculating that she may be a victim of bribery.

In fact, the “Big Ole Freak” rapper’s own attorney, Alex Spiro, made claims that the “Bussin Back” artist looks to have been compromised. As a result of her spotty memory, the prosecution was able to play Harris’ previous interview. In that, she plainly says that the Canadian fired the weapon at her friend.

The discrepancies in Kelsey’s recent testimony and her old story have been undeniably raising eyebrows. So much so, in fact, that Los Angeles Deputy District Attorney Kathy Ta motioned to include two new charges of witness tampering on top of Lanez’s existing charges, according to Rolling Stone.

Specifically, she cited allegations that the “Say It” singer offered Thee Stallion and Harris a “$1 million bride” to keep quiet. Additionally, she mentioned California Penal Code 136.1 – a rule that makes dissuading a witness a crime.

Ta told the court, “It’s based on testimony by both the victim and Ms. (Kelsey) Harris [about] statements the defendant made in the car, offering them a million dollar.”

Seeing as the 27-year-old brought up the hush money earlier in the proceedings, Judge David Herriford had some questions. The DA shared that she wasn’t sure what Kelsey’s testimony would be. However, when the recording artist’s former friend was in agreeance with the claims, a filing decision was made.

Lanez’s lawyer, George Mgdesyan was quick to object. Furthermore, he argued that prosecutors have known what Harris would say since as early as September.

Ultimately, Judge Herriford sided with the father of one’s defence, rejecting the additional charges. “I think it’s unfair at this juncture, so I would deny that motion,” he said. He also noted that Tory’s team would be in a “difficult position” putting together a proper response on such short notice.

That’s not the only drama that’s been unfolding in the courtroom so far this week. On Monday (December 19), it was revealed that a female jury member was seen riding in an elevator with Lanez and his legal representatives.

Those live-tweeting from the courtroom say that the woman is known as Juror No. 39. “A younger light-skinned Black woman with braided hair. [Her] style of dress that included pink cheetah print pants last week. [She] was asked to stay behind, then she went back into chambers to talk to Judge Herriford,” Law and Crime‘s Meghann Cuniff wrote.

At this time, it remains unknown if there’s cause to remove the juror. It was additionally noted that she somehow knows Lanez “through Instagram.” However, she insists she can be “fair” because she “generally isn’t on social media.”

Reports say that Juror No. 39 was spotted with Tory on both Friday and Monday. During the latter, reporter James Queally was also on board. “I did not see them talking or hear any discussion of the case,” he confirmed.

As for Thee Stallion’s side of things, yesterday the court heard her former stylist’s testimony. Read all about that here, and check back later for any more updates.

Trey Songz Turns Himself In After Previously Denying Bowling Alley Brawl With Woman & Man

by

Trey Songz seemingly thought he was in the clear following a New York City fight between him and two others earlier this fall. However, a new report from TMZ reveals that the R&B vocalist did end up turning himself in to authorities as a result of the allegations against him.

According to the outlet’s law enforcement sources, the singer was feeling heat at the end of November over the reported altercation. Specifically, he’s facing accusations of striking two people in the face at a bowling alley in October. One of the victims, a woman, was in the hospital afterward to get treatment for her injuries.

When the news first broke, it was said that Songz “punched her in the face repeatedly and dragged her by her hair.” Additionally, sources note that she was an employee at the establishment where the fight went down.

The second victim, a man, claims the Virginia native punched him in the eye. Following the brawl, he allegedly refused any medical treatment.

Immediately, reps for the 38-year-old denied the gossip. From the sounds of the latest reports, his attorney, Mitch Schuster, also believes his client is innocent.

“We have been proactively communicating with NY law enforcement, the DA, and all those involved,” he informed TMZ recently. “While we will respectfully and proactively work through all the appropriate channels we are confident that Trey will be fully cleared of any wrongdoing.”

Currently, Songz is not behind bars. He previously turned himself in at an NYPD station last month. After going through booking and getting a desk appearance ticket for assault, he later left.

A motive for the alleged bowling alley beatdown remains unknown. Additionally, we’re unsure when the “Na Na” hitmaker will have his day in court.

Check back in with HNHH later for any updates on the situation.

Megan Thee Stallion’s Former Stylist Testifies, LA County DA Looking For Missing Ex-Bodyguard: Report

by

As we head into week two of Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez’s trial, more interesting testimony is coming out on the stand. Previously we heard from the shooting victim herself, as well as her ex-best friend, Kelsey Harris. Now, other figures such as her former stylist, EJ King, have been sharing the details that they recall from that fateful night.

Though he wasn’t at the crime scene when the rap diva was injured by gunfire, the fashion expert did attend a party at Kylie Jenner’s house with his client and her friend. On the stand, King recalled encouraging the Houston native to leave the party earlier in the evening, also noting that she was drinking a considerable amount.

He spoke to the courthouse on Monday (December 19). At the time, the defence began with questions about how he, Megan, and Kelsey protect themselves when security isn’t around. “We’d have tasers, mace,” he shared. When asked specifically about other weapons or a handgun, he responded, “Not that I recall.”

Next, King heard a question regarding Thee Stallion or Harris with something resembling a firearm in their possession. “Possibly… but it’s not my business,” he asserted.

When speaking specifically about the get-together at Jenner’s residence, he made it known that he and his friends stayed later than the other guests. “I remember Corey [Gamble] insinuated to wrap up the party,” the creative director stated. This was allegedly before Tory Lanez’s arrival around 8 or 9 PM.

According to King’s testimony, he encouraged the “Hot Girl Summer” hitmaker to leave. “I don’t like feeling like the last Black [people] in somebody’s house,” he added. Seeing as he doesn’t drink, he “was already on alert” after witnessing Megan make a “slight comment” to the evening’s host.

While Harris is said to have told Jenner, “You’re fun, you’re a vibe,” the 27-year-old reportedly chimed in, “I’m really glad because I thought you were a lame.”

During cross-examination, DDA Alexander Bott described the “Bussin Back” artist as a relatively happy drunk. “Kelsey is just a little Tazmanian devil,” King described. “But she has a lot of bark, so she can cuss you out.” As for “bite,” he says he’s never seen Harris get aggressive.

Upon Lanez’s arrival, both Jenner and Thee Stallion were allegedly happy to see him. More drinking ensued, although the Traumazine creator’s “energy shifted from fun Megan to irritated Megan.” Additionally, her former stylist noted that she can become “aggressive” once faded past a certain point.

“I think you said Megan’s a different person when she’s drunk?” the defence asked. “Yes, when she’s past the faded point,” King responded. “Was she past the faded point that day?” they pressed. “Yes,” he concluded.

While that testimony was certainly interesting, the court is still waiting to hear from Thee Stallion’s former bodyguard, Justin Edison.

This past weekend, reports surfaced claiming that he’s missing. He was due to take the stand on Friday (December 16), however, internet sleuths thought they tracked him down at the FIFA World Cup instead.

Those reports have since been denied, and last we heard, the Los Angeles County District Attorney has sent a team out to search for him.

Yesterday morning, they made a visit to a LA home where they hoped to find him and get some availability for his testimony. Unfortunately, his location remains unknown at this time but he’s not technically a “missing” person.

Megan’s attorney, Alex Spiro, told TMZ Live that they last heard from Edison on Thursday (December 15) night. It was fully expected he would be in court the next day to provide testimony he thinks could’ve been “devastating.”

The lawyer is under the impression that witness intimidation is going on, noting that prosecutors have launched an investigation. On that same topic, the DA’s office simply said, “No comment.”

Check back in later for more updates on Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion’s trial.

Ashanti Is A “Beautiful Black Woman,” Kevin Hunter Says After “Weight Gain” Post

by

Ashanti’s figure has been the talk of the town this month, especially after she posted a bikini-clad thirst trap to keep the masses warm this winter. Most recently, it was Wendy Williams’ ex, Kevin Hunter, who had some things to say about the R&B vocalist and her bodacious body.

Over the weekend, the former television executive reposted a throwback photo of the Murder Inc. artist on his Story. In the obviously dated image, she wears a big smile on her face, huge gold hoops, a pink graphic tee, and skinny jeans. Seeing as she’s much younger in the photo, her shape looks noticeably different compared to now.

According to Hunter, this can only mean one thing – that she underwent plastic surgery. “Ion know… That’s alotta weight gain since 2007,” he wrote in his post. “No hate queen, but BODY DONE???”

Ashanti’s fans lashed out at the father of one with a quickness. “Job Kevin… Get a job,” one person wrote in @theshaderoom’s comments. “It’s been a lot of cheating since 2007 too, but what do I know,” someone else added, bringing light to the OG hater’s own flaws.

“As a man, why were you even worried about it?” yet another person pressed him. “If you expect someone from 2007 to look the same in 2022 I question your level of intelligence,” one last comment reads.

After getting wind of his critics’ thoughts, Hunter had more to say. “Look I think @ashanti is a BEAUTIFUL BLACK WOMAN!” he began.

“I have posted a NUMBER of positive posts that no one ever runs with. In this day and time, it’s not uncommon for people to have surgery… My question was for my page. I’m not a blogger nor am I trying to be or disrespect her in any way.”

Hunter says he “salutes” Ashanti and her “natural assets.” He added, “[I] was merely posing a question,” before going on to praise “all her accomplishments.”

“Errbody CALM DOWN,” the 50-year-old ended his rant.

Do you think Kevin Hunter is out of pocket for his question about Ashanti? Let us know below, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

OJ Simpson On Khloé Kardashian’s Paternity: “The Rumour Ain’t True”

by

It’s no secret that Khloé Kardashian doesn’t exactly resemble her siblings. While they stand closer to five feet in height, she’s a whopping 5’10” and has bright green eyes that stand out in contrast to the dark brown ones on the rest of her family members. In the past, her genetics have long been a joke within the family – so much so, in fact, that she once took a paternity test on an episode of their OG reality series.

While matriarch Kris Jenner has maintained that her ex, Rob Kardashian, is the Good American founder’s father, others have been long convinced that it’s actually OJ Simpson. As you may remember, Khloé’s father was one of the accused murderer’s lawyers before his tragic death due to lung cancer.

Though talk of the mother of two’s paternity has died down lately (people are much more concerned with the ongoing paternity scandals of her own baby daddy), the 75-year-old has the internet talking once again after appearing on the Full Send Podcast.

“I always thought Kris was a cute girl. She was really nice. But, you know… I was — I was dating supermodels!” he said of gossip regarding him and the marketing mogul previously hooking up.

Simpson went on to say, “The rumour ain’t true. Nowhere even close to being true.” When the host teased him, “Some people think you might be Khloé Kardashian’s real dad,” he quickly made it known, “No… No, I’m not.”

As Radar Online notes, this isn’t the first time the controversial athlete has spoken about the gossip. “You know, Rob Kardashian, he was like a brother to me. He was a great guy,” he wrote on Twitter in 2019.

“He met and married Kris and they really had a terrific time together, when they were together. Unfortunately, that ended. But never — and I want to stress, never, in any shape or form — have I ever had any interest in Kris, romantically or sexually, and I never got any indication that she had any interest in me. So all of these stories are bogus, bad, tasteless.”

Elsewhere in his appearance on Full Send, allegations regarding Simpson’s involvement in his ex-wife’s murder were brought up. Naturally, he swiftly avoided them and let it be known that the past trauma isn’t something he’s willing to discuss.

Snoop Dogg Suggests Himself As Elon Musk’s Twitter Replacement

by

Could Elon Musk’s short-lived reign as head of Twitter be coming to an end? If the results of his most recent poll on the app mean anything, then the answer is a resounding yes. Luckily, there are already a few brave souls brave enough to want to replace him should he depart.

As AllHipHop notes, the South African became the proud owner of the social media site at the end of October. Since then, we’ve seen nothing short of chaos ensue with mass layoffs and lawsuit threats. Lately, there’s even been the suspension of several journalists from the platform.

Speaking of the latter matter, Musk also used a Twitter poll to determine whether reporters who he claimed were guilty of doxxing him should be allowed back on the app immediately, or if they should have to wait a week. Later, the father of 10 spoke to some of the unbanned during a Spaces session. When his actions were compared to how the site previously handled the Hunter Biden article, he was quick to leave the chat.

On Sunday (December 18), the CEO asked his 122.2M followers if he should “step down as head” of his recent multi-billion dollar purchase. “I will abide by the results of this poll.

The final count shows that 42.5% want Musk to stay in his position. The majority 57.5%, though, would be happy to see him relinquish some control. This is likely largely due to the consistent and unusual changes he’s making on the popular platform.

First it was charging a monthly fee to obtain a verified badge (thus resulting in an abundance of impersonations). Now he’s preventing users from promoting their other social media profiles on Twitter. As a result, many are becoming increasingly disappointed in their recent user experience.

A report from TMZ reveals that on Sunday (December 18), Musk made an announcement via Support. “We recognize that many of our users are active on other social media platforms,” the statement reads.

“However, we will no longer allow free promotion of certain social media platforms on Twitter. Specifically, we will remove accounts created solely for the purpose of promoting other social platforms and content that contains links or usernames for the following platforms: Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon, Truth Social, Tribel, Nostr and Post.”

To clarify, Support noted that they’re banning the cross-posting of content between sites. What they want to avoid is “unadulterated plugging of one’s other accounts” that lead away from Twitter. It seems that Linktree URLs are also prohibited, which many content creators use to direct fans to their various pages.

Amid all the chaos, Snoop Dogg has come forward on the website with an interesting poll of his own. “Should I run Twitter?” the Death Row head asked his 20.8M followers yesterday.

A resounding 81% have voted yes so far, with another six hours left to get yours in at the time of publishing.

Do you think Snoop Dogg would be a good contender for Twitter head in the event that Elon Musk steps down? Let us know below, and check back later for any updates on the situation.

Diddy’s Twin Daughters Gifted Range Rovers On Their Sweet 16: Video

by

Being the child of one of the world’s biggest celebrities comes with no shortage of downfalls – a lack of privacy and pressure to follow in your parent’s footsteps among them. However, it also comes with plenty of perks, such as luxurious new vehicles at just 16 years old. Such is the case for Diddy’s daughters, anyway.

While celebrating their milestone birthday, Jessie and D’Lila Combs got the gift of a lifetime from their father. In videos making rounds online, the twins obviously freak out upon receiving matching Range Rovers.

The clip sees the 53-year-old walking alongside his girls as they approach their whips. In their coordinated outfits, the Combs sisters express obvious excitement before making their way into their front seats.

The “Sex In The Porsche” artist earned a hug from each of his daughters, who were left speechless by the amazing presents. Prior to the big reveal, they had been partying with a huge group of friends. “Happy Birthday” was sung to them while huge galaxy cakes were lit with sparklers and brought out to commemorate the special occasion.

According to Page Six, Coi Leray was the musical entertainment for the evening. Additionally, big brother Quincy Jones took to the stage to give a rousing performance.

Diddy has been taking his daddy duties more seriously than ever as of late. Following the death of Jessie and D’Lila’s mother, Kim Porter, he’s been forced to step up as a single parent to several of his seven children.

His most recent baby was born in October, though the world didn’t know about her until earlier this month. Combs made the announcement via Twitter, which ultimately stirred up plenty of drama for Yung Miami.

The City Girl has made it clear that she’s unbothered by the Bad Boy seeing other people. “That’s not my man,” she told internet trolls.

Diddy’s been busy with a few women as of late. There’s his baby mama, 28-year-old Dana Tran, as well as influencer Shawntya Joseph. Then we have podcaster Jade Ramey, who he took to Nobu for a dinner date last week.

Blueface Punches Chrisean Rock’s Dad Back In New “Crazy In Love” Episode

by

For some, Sunday is a holy day. For others, it’s the time that they catch up on the latest antics from Blueface and Chrisean Rock. Last night (December 18), the couple’s second episode of their Crazy In Love series aired on Zeus. Much like in the premiere earlier this month, plenty of confrontation ensued. Additionally, we see another physical blowout between the 22-year-old’s boyfriend and her father.

Ahead of the latest show’s start, clips began circulating on social media teasing just some of the drama viewers can expect. In one of them, we see the “Thotiana” rapper talking with one of his partner’s older brothers. During their conversation, Rock’s sibling admits that he previously hit his own baby mamas. However, he wants better for his own family and their relationships.

“I done hit them before, but I’m not embracing that,” he tells Blueface. When the recording artist prompts for more info on what led him to put his hands on the women in his life, he quickly explains that they hit him first.

Immediately, the California-born artist claps back “So you did the same shit as me!” From the sounds of things, he doesn’t think Rock’s brother has a right to confront him about domestic violence when his own name isn’t clear either.

The two younger men didn’t come to blows during their chat. Still though, Blueface did get his lick back against his girl’s father. If you tuned into the Crazy In Love premiere, you would have seen him take a punch from the patriarch of Chrisean’s family.

In a clip shared to @theneighborhoodtalk yesterday afternoon, two large men can be seen attempting to restrain the 25-year-old. Plenty of chaos and yelling ensues from others in the area, setting the scene for a typical episode.

After sneaking away from what appears to be his bodyguards, Blueface can be seen running up on someone (who we now know is Rock’s dad) and throwing a punch at them.

Read all about the drama seen on Crazy In Love last week here. Afterward, let us know if you’ve tuned into the Zeus original series in the comments.

Yung Miami Speaks After Diddy Is Seen Kissing Podcaster Jade Ramey

by

No matter how many times they remind the world that they’re not in an official relationship, Yung Miami and Diddy continue to face flack whenever the latter is seen out and about with another woman. Recently, things have been particularly brutal for the City Girl.

This is because her Bad Boy not only fathered his seventh child with someone else (28-year-old Dana Tran) but has also been spending time with two other budding internet beauties. Around the same time he shared the news of little Love Sean Combs’ birth on Twitter, paparazzi caught him strolling through New York City with a YouTuber named Shawntya Joseph.

Not long after that, it seems Diddy took a mystery woman on a dinner date to Nobu. Once again, paps took photos that make it undeniably clear she had his attention. Internet sleuths have since identified her as podcast host Jade Ramey, who herself has over 1.1 million Instagram followers.

As the new father continues to make rounds with his roster, the heckling targeted at Miami has only increased. Initially, it was mostly Akademiks throwing shade, but now, randoms in her comment section have joined the chat. “Can we give Diddy the same energy he’s giving you?” one person asked Caresha.

“But [you’re] a City Girl, right?” they went on. “I get it, y’all got love for each other, but he’s making us City Girls look crazy. Likeee ain’t noooo way a real City Girl is letting a grandpa get one up on us.”

Shortly after seeing the comments, Miami reminded the internet for the thousandth time, “that’s not my man and he’s free to do what he want!”

“I’m not in a relationship,” the podcast host additionally explained. “My focus is building my brand right now! I been through a lot these past three [years]. I’m just having fun!”

In fact, amid all the drama, the mother of two has been busy on the set of her Caresha Please show. On Twitter last week, she revealed that a new episode will be dropping before the end of the month.

Who do you hope Yung Miami interviews on her REVOLT series? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
