Donald Glover’s hit TV series Atlanta has won its second Peabody Award. The feat of winning a second of these awards is one few series have managed to accomplish. The award was given to the show on May 9, and other winners included Abbott Elementary, Better Call Saul, and We Need to Talk About Cosby. The comedy/drama also won two Primetime Emmys in 2017. The Emmys were awarded to Glover for outstanding lead actor in a comedy series and for outstanding directing in a comedy series. The fourth and final season of the series premiered in September of last year with the series finale airing in November 2022.
The Series, starring Glover, sees two young men navigating their way through the Atlanta rap scene. Also starring Brian Tyree Henry, LaKeith Stanfield, and Zazie Beetz, season three of the show received backlash from viewers and critics. Glover shared with GQ that his unique approach to the season was something he, “needed to see for [himself].” He adds, “We deserve quality. We deserve something that isn’t easy for everyone to digest all the time.” The actor and musician doubles down on the creative direction of the show, saying “people never give [him] the benefit of the doubt.” “This season is good,” Glover assures GQ, telling them that he “wasn’t ever worried about that.”
Glover Adds To His Accomplishments
Glover himself has also won several awards for his work as Childish Gambino. He won five Grammy Awards, four of which in 2019 and one in 2018. Awards included Best Music Video, Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and more. The artist’s work on Atlanta won him two Golden Globe Awards in 2017 for Best Actor and Best Television Series. He was also nominated for two additional Golden Globe Awards for Best Actor in a Television Series for Atlanta.
Atlanta has seen several celebrity appearances, including cameo roles by Katt Williams, Liam Neeson, and more. The show, highly praised for its music, features various genres of rap and R&B. The series showcases the work of artists like Jeremih, Kodak Black, Migos, and more.
A medical building in midtown Atlanta was the site of a shooting today. Sadly, it resulted in the death of at least one woman and injury of four others. No suspect was in custody at the time of the incident. Later, police identified Deion Patterson, 24, as the perpetrator in a tweet. The Atlanta police chief stated during a press conference that the five women were shot in a waiting room at Northside Hospital. The suspect reportedly became agitated while waiting for an appointment. After this, he pulled out a handgun and shot the five women.
A 39-year-old woman was pronounced dead at the scene, while the four injured were transported to a hospital for treatment. Three of the patients were in critical condition, and one was in stable condition. During a news conference, police indicated that a camera spotted Deion Patterson, the suspect, near a parking garage close to Truist Park and The Battery. The police chief stated that the suspect carjacked a vehicle to flee the crime scene.
Patterson Apprehended By Police
Earlier this evening, it was announced that the suspect was still on the run. However, it now appears that Patterson has been caught. In a tweet from the Cobb County Police Department, they announced that he had been found. “Deion Patterson has been apprehended,” the tweet said. “Details will be provided during a joint press conference with Atlanta PD.” Apparently, Patterson was at the medical facility with his mother for an appointment. Three of the victims are reportedly still in critical condition. Whether or not there was a connection between Patterson and the victims remains unclear. Sadly, it appears that mental illness played a role in his actions.
Patterson’s served in the U.S. Coast Guard for several years. They have stated that he began serving in July 2018 and was discharged in January 2023. According to his mother Minyone, who spoke to the Associated Press, Patterson had been struggling with “some mental instability” since Friday after taking medication prescribed to him by the Veterans Affairs medical system. She stated that her son had requested Ativan to treat his anxiety and depression, but was turned down due to its addictive nature. Stay tuned to HNHH for updates on this case and others.

During a news conference, police indicated that a camera spotted Deion Patterson, the suspect, near a parking garage close to Truist Park and The Battery. The police chief stated that the suspect carjacked a vehicle to flee the crime scene. Authorities believe they have recovered the car.
Suspect Is Still On The Run
Deion Patterson is still on the run, according to police. “Everyone consider him still armed and presenting a danger to whatever community he may find himself in at this time,” police said. The authorities have not recovered any firearm that may have been used during the shooting. Patterson was described as having very minimal contact with the Atlanta police before the shooting. He was also reportedly part of the US Coast Guard until earlier this year. The police have instructed that no one should approach Patterson.
While it is unclear what exactly caused Patterson to shoot the victims, it is the second US shooting making major headlines in less than a week. Just last Friday, five were killed in an “execution style” killing in Cleveland, Texas. Luckily, the suspect in that case was caught. Still, with each incident that occurs, it becomes more clear that something must change. Until then, citizens must simply remain vigilant. Stay tuned to HNHH for any updates on the case.
Atlanta crooner Jacquees is excited about what he has in store this weekend. The self-proclaimed “King of R&B” will be in Houston to perform at a community event. The Houston Botanic Garden hosts its second annual Celebrez en Rose wine and music festival this weekend. Attendees should wear pink and white. The festival highlights black businesses and products.
The “B.E.D.” singer loves performing and Texas and is even happier to support Black-owned businesses. He spoke with ABC 13 in Houston about the event.
“Being able to say, ‘Hey this is Black-owned’, and people loving it and people who aren’t Black want to support, you know, it feels good. For me to be on the forefront of Black people, to represent us, it feels really good.”
Jacquees is a business owner himself as he opened a wine and tapas bar earlier this year in Georgia. The 29-year-old is ready to give the fans a great show as he reminds people that he never lip-syncs. Along with Jacquees, MC Lyte and Big Freedia will hit the stage as well.
Lil Wayne unfortunately disappointed his Atlanta fans on Saturday (April 22) when he announced he had to cancel that tour stop due to unforeseen circumstances. Moreover, Weezy is currently on his “Welcome To Tha Carter” tour, which received much critical and fan acclaim up until this point. No doubt the trek will continue to please fans young and old, but it’s always a sting when this occurs to a live show. While many fans expressed understandable disappointment and anger, the rap legend’s message did give some hope to the city. In his statement, he hinted towards the solution he and his team are seeking.
“Due to unforeseen circumstances we have to reschedule the Atlanta show tomorrow,” Lil Wayne posted on social media. “I apologize to my fans, but I kan’t wait to turn up with y’all soon. Luv ATL.” Furthermore, this would’ve been the Young Money boss’s 14th tour stop out of a total of 28, and the trek is scheduled to end in Los Angeles, California on May 13. Hopefully more exciting live performances in the future don’t see the same fate, although the more important hope is that Tunechi is doing well and healthy throughout these dates.
Lil Wayne Cancels Atlanta Show
Cancelling live shows can be very scary for artists, but sometimes they have to happen due to scarier circumstances. For example, Desiigner recently canceled all his upcoming concert dates to focus on his mental health, which reportedly took a nosedive. The rapper exposed himself on a plane, and the reaction grew much more sympathetic following his emotional message. With these situations in mind, fans hope that Lil Wayne is above all having a good and fulfilling time during this tour, free of health issues or other circumstances that can seriously impede his trek.
Fortunately, those who missed the Atlanta show or the tour in general have a lot of the “Let The Beat Build” MC to enjoy these days. Not only did he kickstart the campaign for Tha Carter VI with “Kant Nobody” featuring DMX, but he also appeared on Swizz Beatz’s Hip Hop 50: Vol. 2 EP. Still, a lot of fans were disappointed, and you can see the extent of their reactions down below. For the latest greatness from Lil Wayne and the rest of his tour, stick around on HNHH.
Family ties can lead to incredible artistic chemistry, and there are fewer better examples of that than cousins Young Nudy and 21 Savage. Moreover, Nudy just invited 21 to join him during his Atlanta concert, his final homecoming tour stop for his 2023 dates. Unsurprisingly, the crowd went absolutely ballistic when 21 Savage graced the stage, and they performed the track “Peaches & Eggplants” to a wild group of fans. If you’re looking for more from the East Atlanta trap star, he recently released his latest food-themed album Gumbo, where he delivers high-quality cuts while tapping into his inner MF DOOM.
When it comes to the Her Loss‘s guest appearances as of late, they’ve been nothing short of energizing and impactful. The weekend before linking up with Young Nudy, 21 Savage appeared during Metro Boomin’s fantastic set at Coachella. Sure, they played some of 21’s contributions to his latest album HEROES & VILLAINS, but also went through their extensive and iconic collaborative history. Whether it was “X,” “Runnin’,” or “Bank Account,” the MC-producer duo ripped through the festival grounds like a hulking beast- or like The Hulk, considering Metro’s comic book-inspired presentation.
Young Nudy & 21 Savage Serve Atlanta Crowd “Peaches & Eggplants”
What’s more is that other artists recently took note of Young Nudy and 21 Savage’s chemistry, with one artist in particular remixing one of their team-ups’ instrumentals. None other than Lil Yachtytook a shot at the duo’s “EA” in a snippet he shared while on Kai Cenat’s stream. Over the menacing instrumental, Yachty floats with off-kilter flows and consistent switch-ups that make his relaxed delivery feel more potent. Hopefully the remix lands sooner rather than later, as it would mark one of the only times that the 2016 XXL Freshmen officially collaborate on a song.
Regardless of that, Young Nudy will likely continue to deliver on the colorful yet still grimy aesthetics that he’s graced fans with so far. Another standout project from him is EA Monster, which he dropped last August to a lot of fan acclaim. It seems like no matter the occasion or the context, a Nudy and 21 joint never misses.

Some drama between two “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” stars just took an even sharper turn with one of their daughters jumping into the ring. Moreover, Emani Richardson just hopped on Instagram Live to bash Bambi for posting alleged receipts that Emani’s mother, Erica Dixon, abused her. Furthermore, Emani said that Bambi can’t even take care of her other kids and criticized her for talking on behalf of her and thrashing her mother through the mud. Overall, it was quite the heated message, as she also dismissed those claims that Erica abused her in the past. Not only that, but this follows a scathing message that Bambi had for Erica Dixon.
“Y’all so mad cuz I’m really ‘that lady,’” Bambi wrote on her Instagram Story. “But you’ll never be anything other than ‘that n***a baby moma’ @msericadixon. Since you wanna play with me… the reason why I never liked your a** is because since your child was 8 years old she confided in me about you bullying her and two piecing her a**! I let people think otherwise and never spoke up because Scrapp was handling it with the court and she was underage.
Emani Trashes Bambi For Dragging Erica Dixon
“But b***h f**k you!” Bambi continued against Erica Dixon, speaking on her relationship with daughter Emani. “It’s up. And here is one incident report of many. Now pipe tf down & show some respect to that lady that consoled your baby after you busted her s**t all those times.” What’s more is that Bambi actually posted a full legal document alleging abuse on her Instagram Story as well, adding fuel to the fire. Moreover, that seems to have angered Emani the most.
“Public record,” Bambi captioned the picture of the legal document in question. “Please stop playing. I love this child and kept my mouth closed but y’all doing the most! You sent the cops to my house being petty as usual. And then your child wanted to talk to them and tell them this s**t on her own.” Given this is a nasty and complicated web of beef, a lot of people are advising young Emani to stay out of it. Regardless, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Emani, Erica Dixon, and Bambi.
