Drake is currently on one of the biggest tours of his entire career. The It’s All A Blur tour is taking him all the way through North America. Moreover, he gets to do it next to the likes of 21 Savage. While 21 can’t make it into Canada, Drizzy has been able to make it up to fans. For instance, on both nights in Montreal, the artist had a surprise appearance from J. Cole. The two had a ton of fun performing, and they even seemingly confirmed a future collab, which was exciting.
Last night, Drake began the first leg of his week in Brooklyn. The artist is performing in Brooklyn for four nights. He will take to the stage tonight before taking a break on Wednesday. Subsequently, he will be back at the Barclays Center on Thursday and Friday. Overall, this is an exciting prospect for fans, as there is basically no excuse to miss any of these shows. Unless of course, the tickets are too expensive, which is understandable.
As you can probably imagine, these concerts have been filled with celebrities. For instance, last night, Steph Curry, his wife Ayesha, and his mom Sonya were all at the show. In the middle of the concert, Drake walked over to them and gave them a huge shoutout. Of course, this led to a big ovation in the arena, even if Curry is a Golden State Warrior. Drizzy also gave a hearty shoutout to Ayesha, who seemed to enjoy the thought.
With another show going down tonight, you can expect even more big names to arrive. It should be very interesting to see who pops out next. This is especially true as next week, Drake will be in New York City for three shows. Overall, we’re sure these are going to be some of the biggest shows of the entire tour. Let us know if you will be going to see Drake this summer, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from the hip-hop world.
Jada Pinkett Smith’s successful Facebook Watch series, Red Table Talk came to an unexpected end earlier this year after the social media platform cancelled all of its programming. Reactions to the news were mixed, with some expressing sadness over no more interviews from The Matrix actress and their favourite celebrities while others, such as Nick Cannon, suggested that the Will Smith and Chris Rock beef at the 2022 Oscars may have had something to do with it. Regardless, it certainly won’t be the last we’ll see of Jada on our screens, though some past guests aren’t hesitating to shade her years after their own sit-down on the show.
Ayesha Curry, for one, had plenty to say during her recent interview with Insider. The basketball wife is the cover star of the publication’s latest digital issue, and she made it clear that she’s not as insecure or “crazy” as editing on the internet show made her sound. “Stephen is very nice by nature and he’s very talkative,” the fashionista said of her NBA star husband at the time. “Everything is always very friendly and sometimes to the point where I’m like, I’m a grown woman so I’ll just insert myself. I’ll be like, ‘Hello. How are you doing?’”
“The ladies will always be lurking, hoping for their moment and waiting. But for me, I honestly hate it,” Curry further added. Looking back on the moment now, the 34-year-old asserted, “It’s not what I said, and the context was weird. Yeah. I took that one personally.”
Elsewhere in her conversation with Insider, Ayesha discusses her decision to begin therapy following the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as stepping away from the spotlight. Rather than acting and making public appearances, she’s now been pouring into charity work and entrepreneurship. Her lifestyle company, Sweet July, aims to uplift fellow Black and women-owned small businesses.
Check out Ayesha Curry’s Insider cover story photo shoot below. Do you think her anger toward Jada Pinkett Smith’s Red Table Talk series is warranted? Let us know in the comments, and check back in later for more hip-hop/pop culture news.
Wardell Stephen Curry II, 4X NBA champion, arguably the greatest to step at the three-point line, is as devoted on the court as he is at home with his family. Curry’s on-court command is unlike any other player of our generation, and when the first-round pick of the Golden State Warriors handles the ball, there’s no stopping him. The 2X MVP champ and 9X All-Star recklessly controls the court, respectfully. Not only do fans, coaches, and his team support the 2X NBA scoring champion, but he also receives the respect and admiration of his opponents. An outstanding player on the court and an even better man off it, Curry loves the game that has long been in his life. However, he has fallen for a woman just as outstanding as he: Ayesha Curry.
Ayesha Curry, entrepreneur and mother of three, helps to complete the Curry package. The duo first met in 2003 at church when they were 14 and 15 years old, and just as any teenage tale goes, the foundation of their relationship was set. Ayesha first thought her now-husband wasn’t her type due to all the girls flocking around him. However, she did make attempts when church services were over to court the person who would later become the father to her children. Yea, that’s right, Ayesha made the first move on the Warriors point guard.
In his biography, The Rise of Steph Curry, his sister, Sydel, recalled Ayesha only saying a few words to Steph before walking away. Clearly and cleverly, Ayesha soon made her way into the record holder’s heart. Though it would take a few years for them to commit, the two would never forget who their high school crushes were.
Steph & Ayesha Reconnect At 2008 ESPYs

The pair reconnected at the ESPYs in 2008 when Ayesha was modeling and acting in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Steph was playing in the Final Four for his college basketball team, and the two reunited, sparking an ever larger flame than their teen days. Ayesha impressed Steph with her lack of interest in the seriousness of his basketball career. He quickly took to Ayesha, saying, “She really didn’t know what I did at the time, it was pretty refreshing.”
This time around, Steph would make the first move by contacting Ayesha on Facebook. Classy and simple. Their first date involved Ayesha picking him up in her old school ‘95 Astro van. The two spent their time drinking chai lattes and taking pictures with Marilyn Monroe impersonators on Hollywood Boulevard. Noting how “funny” and “silly” Steph was, Ayesha said, “He was the absolute opposite of what I thought he was going to be.” It wouldn’t be long for the two to be each other’s first-round picks, and like Steph’s time with the Warriors, there’s seemingly no chance of a breakup.
In remembering the first time the pair exchanged an “I love you,” Ayesha remarks, “I told him I loved him first, and he said, ‘I feel like I love you too, but I don’t want to say it unless I’m sure because I just want to be sure that when I say it, I really mean it.’ Months later, at a Christmas family gathering, Steph would finally tell Ayesha of his love for her. She recalled that while watching a movie with both their families, Steph “turned to my ear, and he said, ‘I love you.’” And just like that, the two would lead their romance into overtime and create a beautiful family together.
Proposing to Ayesha in 2010, Steph staged the proposal to make it seem like the couple was on their way to a family cookout. In speaking in his defining moment as a fiancée, Steph recalled, “So we pulled up to the house, and I stopped in the middle of the driveway, got down on my knee, and went into my spiel.” Moreover, Steph asked Ayesha to marry him in the exact spot they had their first kiss. However, Ayesha recalled the kiss as being odd because Steph went in for it mid-conversation. Yet, the proposal seemed to go much smoother.
The Couple Marry In The Same Church Where They Met
Ayesha describes herself as being in a “state of shock” when Steph dropped to one knee, but she answered her soon-to-be husband with a yes. The pair married in the summer of 2011 at the church where they met as teenagers. The couple welcomed their firstborn, Riley, 10, in 2012. Three years later, in 2015, they welcomed their second girl, Ryan, 7. And to make it a family of five, the pair welcomed their son, Canon, 4, in 2018.
In recounting their time together, the couple uses social media to share their love. Writing on Instagram on their 10th wedding anniversary, Steph said of Ayesha, “Sexy as can be inside and out and continuing to show me how amazing our God is by the creation that you are. Blessed me with the three of the dopest humans around. You are the key to everything that I do.” So much for not falling for an athlete, huh, Ayesha? Her heart had a clear path paved for Steph, and good thing she followed it because what’s a baller without his baddie?
Renewing their vows in 2021, Steph, again, surprised Ayesha. She said, “He even picked out my dress for me and had it waiting.” The couple’s children were present as Riley officiated, and the younger two walked Ayesha down the aisle in a backyard ceremony. Unstoppable on the court and a devoted romantic, there’s no telling what Steph’s next move is. What we do know is that it’s always backed with nothing but love and faith.
Currently taking time to support Steph, Ayesha also continues to hustle. Taking to the kitchen, Ayesha says she has always had a passion for food. She released her cookbook, The Seasoned Life: Food, Family, Faith, and the Joy of Eating Well, in 2016 and had a show on the Food Network,Ayesha’s Home Kitchen, that aired for two seasons.
The couple also launched their own gameshow in2022 on HBO called About Last Night. Being that the pair center their relationship around the little moments they spend alone, Ayesha said she wanted the show to be modeled after “date night.” The couple occasionally appeared on the series, as both keep busy with family and basketball. There’s no stopping the Currys regarding what they set their mind to. Whether it be romance, athletics, or making sure your family is well-fed, Steph and Ayesha are the epitomai of everlasting love, and proud of it!
Steph Curry and his wife Ayesha have been an NBA power couple over the last decade. Firstly, you have Steph who has won four NBA titles and has the three-point record. He is a legend of the game who will be in the Hall of Fame soon after retiring. Secondly, you have Ayesha who has built a very successful cooking and restaurant empire. Moreover, she has numerous philanthropic endeavors that she undertakes with the help of Steph. These two have been together since high school and this longevity is a testament to how strong their bond is.
Just a few days ago, Steph Curry celebrated his 35th birthday. This went down on March 14th, and as you can imagine, it was a wonderful day for the superstar. Additionally, he was honored by Ayesha who took to Instagram with a series of candid photos of the Warriors’ point guard. “Happy Birthday to my love!!!” she wrote at the time. “35 trips around the sun! Wow! I love everything about you but your soul is unmatched. I know this will be the best year yet! Happy birthday.” Subsequently, Steph decided to return the favor on Ayesha’s birthday which went down on Thursday.
In the Instagram post above, you can find numerous photos of Ayesha Curry. This was accompanied by a heartfelt caption in which Steph wishes his wife the “happiest of birthdays.” “My woman @ayeshacurry! Love of my life,” Steph Curry began. “Happiest of birthdays! I love every part of you, and I hope this year is filled with laughter, growth, peace, and happiness. You deserve it all. God did a good thing on this day and selfishly I’m the most thankful. 3/23.”
Needless to say, these two are still going strong. Ayesha is part of Steph’s support system, and he will most definitely need that support with the playoffs coming up. The Warriors are looking to go back-to-back despite a rocky regular season. However, if there is any team that can surprise us, it would have to be the Warriors. Stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.
Ayesha Curry is usually in the headlines for reasons related to her heart-melting beauty or her relationship with Steph. As of late, however, it’s been her changing figure that’s caught fans’ interest. Surprisingly, she hasn’t been shy about revealing her secrets. Earlier this year, the 33-year-old spoke candidly with PEOPLE about her years-long health journey. Her hard work has ultimately resulted in a 35-pound weight loss.
“One of my big resolutions for January is going to be to build a little bit of lean muscle,” she explained at the time. “I’ve lost 35 lbs. over the past year, which I’m really excited about, but now I want that definition and I want to feel strong in my skin.” Curry specifically noted that setting intentions and goals are things that helped keep her motivated, as well as manifestation.

As she shed weight, the mother of three’s followers took note of her changing appearance, which has only continued to look slimmer in recent weeks. On Thursday (March 16), Curry shared stunning photos of her in beautiful Abu Dhabi, where she wore an elegant dress on the Forbes 3050 International Women’s Day summit red carpet. While her skin’s glow and the smile she bares in the second image make it seem as though she’s happy and healthy, some couldn’t help but feign concern for the socialite in her comment section.
“The weight, I pray sister is well!” one person wrote. “Hopefully [it’s] not Hollywood peer pressure!” Another chimed in with, “Beautiful as always but looking too thin.” Thankfully, not every response that came in was criticizing Curry. “I despise this society where people are constantly making comments about someone’s weight,” one frustrated user began ranting.
They went on, “Even if you have good intentions they might not feel the same way. They might like to be smaller or bigger, etc. and I feel like every woman has a tarnished relationship with their weight and body because of this. Just say she [looks] good.” Keep scrolling to read more reactions to Ayesha Curry’s recent weight loss, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
Ayesha Curry and Steph Curry have been together for a very long time. She met him while Curry was living in Canada. At the time, Dell Curry was on the Raptors, and Steph was growing up. Overall, they had an immediate connection and have been together all of these years later. Although the NBA life can be difficult, Ayesha Curry has stuck with Steph through all of it. That is certainly impressive, and there is no doubt that some are envious of their relationship. At the end of the day, these two were made for each other.
Last night, Steph and his Golden State Warriors teammates defeated the Phoenix Suns. This was a win that they needed for morale purposes, and it worked out in their favor. Moreover, this win was especially satisfying as today marks Steph’s 35th birthday. It is a special birthday for the Warriors supertstar as it is the halfway point of his 30s. Additionally, it marks a time in which he has to make tough choices about his career.
Having said all of that, Ayesha Curry is making sure that Steph has the best day ever. She took to Instagram today where she posted a series of candid images of Steph. From formal events to vacation, Steph always seems to have a smile on his face. “Happy Birthday to my love!!!” she wrote. “35 trips around the sun! Wow! I love everything about you but your soul is unmatched. I know this will be the best year yet! Happy birthday.” After all of these championships, each subsequent year will be hard to top. However, Ayesha seems eager to prove this notion wrong.
No matter what, it seems like 2023 is destined to be great for Steph. Even if he doesn’t end up winning another title, he still has a beautiful family. Moreover, he has a lot going on away from the court that will continue to keep him occupied. Hopefully, he is able to take the day off and truly enjoy his birthday. Stay tuned to HNHH as we will always keep you informed on the latest news from around the sports world.

Curry began by explaining that she’s not big into New Year’s resolutions. Instead, she describes herself as a “monthly resolution type of girl.”
“I’ve kind of been going through a health journey for the past three years now,” she told PEOPLE. “I’m into manifesting and writing things down and setting my intentions and goals. I am obsessed with that and I find that it really works for me, being able to visibly see things.”

“One of my big resolutions for January is going to be to build a little bit of lean muscle,” Curry added. “I’ve lost 35 lbs. over the past year, which I’m really excited about, but now I want that definition and I want to feel strong in my skin.”
In welcoming 2023, Ayesha Curry partnered with MyFitnessPal for the app’s two-week Jumpstart Your Health Challenge. She’s providing users with tips and recipes to help others meet their personal health goals.
“When the new year comes around every year, everybody’s going all in, balls to the wall and wants to do the most, and you almost always end up failing,” Curry said. “And so with this Jumpstart Your Health Challenge, it just makes it easy. It’s not overwhelming, it’s approachable.”
Curry also emphasized the importance of not comparing yourself to others. In doing so, she referenced her husband being NBA star Stephen Curry and how it’s difficult for her not to compare herself to him.
