Sexyy Red Clears The Air After Backlash For Apparently Making Fun Of Her Friend

by

Sexyy Red is no stranger to social media backlash, and she once again proved that she doesn’t usually take much stock in it. Moreover, fans recently criticized her online for a recent Instagram Live stream that she held with her friends. The “U Kno What To Do (UKWTD)” femcee read some comments that mocked one of her friends for – in their eyes – looking like “Finesse” (perhaps rapper Finesse2tymes?) and like a transgender woman. Fans thought that her laughter at this was her making fun of her friends. However, Sexyy went into the comments section of The Neighborhood Talk‘s IG post covering this down below and said that they were all just joking around.

“MAN WE FROM STLOUIS WE GOT THICK SKIN!!” Sexyy Red commented under the Instagram post down below, where you can find more reactions to this debacle. “& we been flammin sh* we don’t care bout nuna dis the joke was funny mfs say I look like young thug all the time and we laugh we all still get [ninja emoji]’z so next …” “Dis her @ if yal wana check up on her since we not good friends to her [eyeroll emoji] @hernamecece__,” she added in another comment.

Sexyy Red’s Controversial IG Live With Friends: See Comments For Her Response

Whether or not you agree with fans’ backlash or you think Sexyy Red is in the clear, these situations can happen often. After all, celebrities open themselves up to criticism of all sorts when they reveal their interpersonal dynamics with their friends, especially when these colleagues are not fellow stars. But she has more social media antics to handle. The relationship drama between the St. Louis artist, her collaborator Chief Keef, and his alleged flame Kayla B continues to develop, albeit in mostly cheeky and odd ways that aren’t as contentious as they once were.

Also, we know that Sexyy Red is also prone to making fun of herself, even if that might not excuse her behavior towards her friends in your eyes. For example, she recently laughed off an awkward moment with a streamer when he dodged a kiss from her. We’ll see what other social media hijinks cause a fan divide next…

Diddy’s Son’s Publicist Catches Heat For “Wild” Response To Mogul’s Arrest

by

The latest developments in Diddy’s ongoing legal battle continue to garner reactions from social media users and peers. Recently, Hollywood publicist Linda Luna even weighed in on the debacle, earning herself a great deal of backlash. In a lengthy Facebook post, she insisted that she’s never personally seen Diddy do anything he’s been accused of.

“This Diddy controversy is truly so unfortunate,” she began. “I work with his son Christian as his publicist in the music area and I have worked with Justin too. I’ve been around Diddy many times. I’ve been to his parties and after-parties and I’ve never seen what they are claiming. But, I do feel like maybe he was trying to change over the past year, but it seems like it was too late and his past transgressions have come to light and now he has to face the consequences.”

Linda Luna Shares Lengthy Statement About Diddy Situation

Luna continued, sharing hopes that Diddy “will find redemption within that and if it’s God’s will, he’ll get another chance to make it right and redeem himself with those that have been affected by him.” Her statement has prompted outrage from countless social media users, who feel as though it missed the mark. “Enabling is wild,” one Instagram user wrote. “Grammar is important.”

“So u said you’ve never seen any of these things but you know he’s been trying to change. What was he changing?” someone else wonders. Several others point out that not releasing a statement at all might have been better in this case, particularly considering how her post has been received. What do you think of Christian Combs’ publicist’s response to Diddy’s current legal issues? Do you think she should have kept quiet in this case or not?

“Complex” Raises Eyebrows With List Of Top 20 Rappers In Their 20s

by

Today, Complex unveiled yet another list, which has managed to spark yet another debate. The list in question is their ranking of the 20 best rappers right now who are in their 20s. Of course, lists like this one are bound to get readers to weigh in with their own personal takes. This list in particular, however, has earned the outlet a great deal of backlash.

Topping the list is Playboi Carti, whose reception tends to be mixed. While some commenters think this choice makes sense considering his influence and fanbase, others think he’s ranked far too high. Next up is Doja Cat, whose position doesn’t appear to be too widely protested. No. 3 is one of the most controversial choices yet, however, as the outlet went with Central Cee.

Complex Calls Playboi Carti The Best Rapper In Their 20s

From there, it goes Megan Thee Stallion, Yeat, Latto, GloRilla, Lil Yachty, and so on. Needless to say, commenters are sounding off about the list in NFR Podcast‘s replies, making it clear that they’re not rocking with it. “#1 being carti makes sense considering he’s running the game rn while barely dropping rest of this list is insane to say the least lmao,” one X user writes. “Throw the whole damn list away,” another says. This is far from the first time Complex has received backlash for one of their lists, however.

Last month, the outlet unveiled its list of the best rappers from Atlanta, which had social media users up in arms. JID’s exclusion from the top 25, Latto’s ranking as the top female rapper from the city, and more sparked some heated debates among readers. What do you think of Complex‘s list of the top 20 rappers in their 20s? Do you agree with their lineup or not? What would you change about the list?

Erica Banks’ Intimate Rich Homie Quan Tribute Sparks Outrage

by

Yesterday, it was revealed that Rich Homie Quan passed away at the age of 34. The tragic news has prompted countless reactions from fans, loved ones, and peers. Erica Banks, for example, took to Instagram yesterday to pay tribute to the late rapper. She shared footage of him kissing her on the cheek at what looks like a bar. Banks even shared a screenshot of a text message in which he seemingly confessed to having feelings for her.

The problem that many social media users have pointed out is that Rich Homie Quan reportedly had a girlfriend, Amber Williams. Sadly, Williams was also the one who found the artist after he passed away. Many are now calling Banks out for seemingly exposing her relationship with him, claiming it’s in poor taste and disrespectful to Williams.

Erica Banks’ Tribute Post Raises Questions

“Erica Banks posting about RHQ when his actual GF was the one to find him is actually sick in the head. If you were f*cking him in silence, mourn him in silence too,” one social media user writes, per The Jasmine Brand. “Messy for no reason,” someone else says. Others point out that this kind of drama is the last thing Rich Homie Quan’s family needs right now. His father Corey Lamar recently broke his silence, revealing how devasting it’s been for him.

“Unbearable pain,” he wrote earlier today. “Lord please please please help me to understand this. To lose my son… my 1st born, my best friend. Lord let this be a dream…. Yall pray for me and my family. I feel like I’m crushed into a million pieces.” What do you think of Erica Banks getting called out for seemingly exposing her relationship with Rich Homie Quan following his passing? Do you agree that she should have kept this to herself? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Nicki Minaj’s Husband Kenneth Petty Gets Dragged For Using Slur During Livestream

by

Nicki Minaj’s marriage to Kenneth Petty continues to be controversial for various reasons. Regardless, the “FTCU” rapper never hesitates to include him in her chats with the Barbz on TikTok live. Yesterday, for example, the pair appeared on the platform to give viewers some tips on dealing with critics.

“Don’t you let anybody or anything steal your motherf*ckin’ joy,” Nicki declared. While that’s solid advice, it’s Petty’s follow-up that has social media users upset. “That’s right, especially little f****** or f*** boys,” he said. Most viewers didn’t appreciate his use of the derogatory term and are slamming him for it. Many are also calling Nicki out for failing to correct him, particularly since she has a large LGBTQ+ fanbase.

Nicki Minaj & Kenneth Petty Receive Backlash For Offensive Livestream Remark

As a result, some are saying that Nicki doesn’t really care about her Barbz at all, though this is unconfirmed. It’s possible that she didn’t hear what he said, or simply didn’t want to draw more attention to the offensive comment. Either way, this isn’t the first time one of her interactions with fans has gone wrong. Earlier this month, a former Barb filed a lawsuit against Nicki, accusing her of slander. He alleges that she embarrassed him on Instagram Live, accused him of being a paid saboteur, called him a stalker, and more. Reportedly, he’s seeking a whopping $5 million in damages for reputational harm, emotional distress, and financial loss.

Her attorney Judd Burstein issued a statement about the lawsuit on Monday, accusing the former fan of “harassing Nicki on social media for years on end to no avail.” Burstein also alleged that he’s trying to “shake her down financially with manifestly false allegations and legally frivolous claims.” What do you think of Nicki Minaj’s husband Kenneth Petty using a gay slur on TikTok live? What about him getting dragged for it online? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Ice Spice Fans Are Asking Her For More Variety Amid Lukewarm Reception To New Song Snippet

by

Ice Spice has a couple of big hits and a signature sound all her own, but it’s starting to tire out a lot of her core fanbase. Moreover, she recently shared a new song snippet with her die-hards on social media, and as you can see in the comments section of the Instagram post below, they aren’t super impressed. This is because it sounds very similar to these other tracks. Sure, every single Jersey/drill beat can’t always sound unique, but the Bronx femcee has a lot of potential to experiment with more flows and fittingly attack other styles of production.

In fact, Ice Spice fans prompted a lot of viral discussions around her as of late, one of these being her sudden weight loss. While some fans claim that she uses Ozempic, her recent post of her intense workout routine seems to discredit that or at least make it a less likely possibility. Either way, the 24-year-old faces more pressure than most in every aspect of her career. We can’t say that demands for her to switch up her sound aren’t invalid, but rarely before did young careers like these have so many backseat drivers clamoring to design its path forward.

Ice Spice’s New Song Snippet: Listen & See Reactions

Elsewhere, the supposed beef between Ice Spice and Latto continues to be a big part of their narratives on social media. “Um, is it true you got beef with Ice Spice?” 2 Chainz’s son hilariously asked the Atlanta femcee during their podcast episode. “Oh my God, here we go,” she answered. “Let me tell you something, Halo. I don’t got a problem with nobody ’cause beef is a different thing, you feel me? That’s a whole different type of conversation. I ain’t got no beef with nobody, I don’t got a problem with nobody for real. *laughs* I ain’t got no problem with nobody for real, for real, it ain’t like that.”

Meanwhile, other supposed feuds, such as falling out with Nicki Minaj, still define Ice Spice’s current proliferation online among fans. It’s a bit unfair and certainly unnecessary, but a reality nonetheless. We’ll see how she chooses to move forward and what her next moves will be after Y2K. Maybe this is the marker that will precede a new era with a new sound.

Cardi B Explains Her Controversial Joke About Atlantic Records Being A Prison

by

Cardi B ruffled a few feathers with her latest Instagram Story post for a couple of reasons. For those unaware, she posted a picture of her in the studio on Wednesday (August 28) that referred to it as the “Atlantic Records correctional facilities.” While a lot of people didn’t like how the Bronx femcee was seemingly unenthused about working on her long-awaited sophomore album, others took more direct issue with comparing this kind of career with a prison. Regardless of what side of these criticism she took the most issue with, she blasted the critics all the same in a new tweet on Thursday (August 29).

“The fact that I made a little joke about the studio because I been mixing and mastering about 40-50 songs and y’all turned that into I hate creating is crazy,” Cardi B shared with her followers. “This why artists don’t interact anymore cuz y’all will take one little joke and stretch it wider than y’all a**holes. God forbid I make a little sarcastic jokey jokey about motherhood y’all gonna claim I hate my kids and call cps…dweebs.” “HITS AND BEAUTIFUL A** KIDS,” she clapped back at a fan asking what she does create.

Cardi B Claps Back At Critics Of Her Atlantic Records Joke

In other news, amid Cardi B’s third pregnancy and Offset divorce, she revealed that she didn’t like the short time that she spent living in Atlanta. “I don’t live in Atlanta, I have a house in Atlanta,” she told social media. “I only go to Atlanta like three or four times a year. And probably I go for a week, maybe less. I tried to move to Atlanta in 2018 and I lived there for like six months. And I hated it. I don’t have not one friend in Atlanta, and I don’t have not even one family member in Atlanta. So I just don’t like Atlanta.”

More Responses

Meanwhile, it seems like Cardi B might have a new hip-hop suitor in the form of Pooh Shiesty, although Offset might have taken issue with that. Regardless, it’s going to be exciting to see what she has in store for the rest of the year. Some conflicting reports emerged over the past months as to whether or not this sophomore project will come out in 2024 or later. Hopefully, the Bardi Gang will have more reason to celebrate before we ring in the New Year.

GloRilla Defends Topless Dancing Video Amid Backlash: “I Bought Them”

by

Earlier this week, GloRilla took to social media to promote her new single with Rob49 and Skilla Baby, “Mama.” She shared a clip of herself dancing without a top on, covering her breasts with her hands and rapping along to the track. Unfortunately, some fans weren’t feeling the suggestive clip and began to speculate that her label was behind it.

According to Glo, however, this couldn’t be further from the truth. The femcee addressed the backlash on Instagram Live recently, urging critics to just mind their own business. “Let me tell you b*tches something,” she said. “Y’all had so much to say because I was dancing to my song holding my titties. Don’t worry about what me and my titties doing. B*tch, I bought them.”

GloRilla Shuts Down Critics’ Theories On Instagram Live

She went on, insisting that her label didn’t put her up to this and that the video was her decision. “The label ain’t making me do sh*t,” she explained. “A h*e gone be a h*e. Y’all just be swearing muthaf*ckas make muthaf*ckas do sh*t. Like everything I do I be wanting to do it. Y’all just got to learn to mind your business sometimes.” This isn’t the first time GloRilla has responded to fans’ feedback as of late, however. Earlier this month, she came under fire for previewing a track featuring the R-word.

Most listeners weren’t happy with the word being used, and it appears as though she heard them loud and clear. She later re-teased the track on Instagram, which no longer features offensive term. What do you think of GloRilla shutting down theories that her label is forcing her outside her comfort zone? What about her coming to her own defense amid backlash for a topless dancing video? Do you agree with her or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Fivio Foreign Angers Fans After Filming A Man Shooting Up Drugs

by

Fivio Foreign sparked outrage online for filming a man using drugs amid a crowd that jeered and cheered him on, posting the interaction on social media on Sunday (August 25). This was during a link-up with Philly rapper Skrilla, and many felt like this clip promoted drug use and trade. “Philly bloccs Show got canceled we went to the hood to checc Skrilla,” he captioned the clip. The group around the user chanted “dog food,” a term often used to refer to heroin. One big part of the backlash was how the New York MC’s promotion of drug use contrasts with his 2024 U.S. presidential pick‘s policy.

Moreover, Donald Trump and his running mate J.D. Vance are very anti-drug, with the latter promising to subject convicted drug dealers to the death penalty if their campaign is victorious. Vance, an Ohio senator, should know well that the opioid crisis became a public health crisis in the state. This pairs with a rise in overdose deaths due to substances such as fentanyl. If Fivio Foreign thinks that drug use is a casual phenomenon that he should film indiscriminately, then perhaps he should reconsider his Trump support.

Elsewhere, Fivio Foreign clapped back at Pop Smoke’s brother’s claims that he’s fake about their relationship. “That n***a is weirdo don’t believe s**t them cornballs that want attention say,” he expressed on social media. “Pop ain’t follow that goofball when he was alive. Tell [him to] stop goin pop smoke crazy after death for the clout boy hated his own brother and pop [ain’t] fucc w this lame head a** n***a.” “Everybody gotta voice now…” Fivio captioned a related IG post. “Play some pop smoke so I don’t have to hear these N***as voice no more.”

“Y’all talking about a follow,” Fivio Foreign continued concerning Pop Smoke’s brother’s claims that he is not following the late superstar on Instagram. “Look at this, I have ‘The smoke will never clear’ on my chest. Y’all talking about a follow? I don’t know how they unfollow, I know I went through a season of following zero people. I don’t even care.”

GloRilla Takes Swift Action Following R-Word Controversy

by

One of Memphis’ leading ladies, GloRilla, has been one having such a fantastic 2024. It’s been a mini resurgence of sorts, with some people out there feeling that her career was on the downswing. However, those theories are currently out the window as she has put out hit after hit it seems. “Yeah Glo!”, “TGIF”, and “Wanna Be” are just a few to list off. Unfortunately, the uber-confident MC put herself in a little bit of controversy this past weekend. GloRilla posted a snippet of an upcoming single on her social media and in the preview, she drops the R-word.

“Me and my b**** r******d,”, she openly states on what figures to be a song titled “Holon”. This led to heaps of backlash. “Why are we still using the R-word in 2024? I can’t get with this one”. “Ion like that R-word so it’s a no for me”. These are just a couple of disappointed reactions from fans online. Some were trying to defend her word usage. However, it is a very sensitive thing to say in any context. In fact, the Special Olympics says it’s even a form of hate speech.

So, with GloRilla seeing all of the hate and perhaps coming to a realization that she did make a mistake, she took quick action. According to AllHipHop, Big Glo took to Instagram to re-tease the future record with the new change, “Me and my b**** go naughty“. This has since pleased a lot of people and see this as a sign of maturity from the young artist. “Awwww she changed the lyrics just in case it did hurt someone’s feelings 👏🙌”, one user replies. “I love how you changed the R word out the song. I wasn’t offended but that’s real. Very mindful… very cutesy, very demurrrrrre”, another adds.

What are your thoughts on GloRilla removing the R-word from him recently teased track? Do you think this show’s that she’s mature? Or do you think she should’ve never used that word in the first place? Do you think this will go on to be another hit for her this year? Is the Memphis rapper having the best 2024 of any femcee? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding GloRilla.
