Yung Miami Gets Called Out For Supporting JT Following Feud, She Fires Back

by

Last month, the City Girls found themselves wrapped up in a social media feud, after Yung Miami accused JT of sneak dissing her “for weeks.” From there, JT suggested that her fellow femcee was “playing d*mb,” and expressed interest in hashing things out in person. “I know I come off cr*zy but never in my life did no wack sh*t to this girl,” she also added. “She literally enjoys seeing me being dragged when ppl show me love she goes cr*zy & call it a hate train! But like I said we can sit & talk about it!”

Yung Miami then accused JT of “playing victim,” and claimed that her last two solo singles, “Sideways” and “No Bars,” were written about her. “Oh wow you’re really losing it!” she fired back. Shortly after, the two of them were able to work things out, and publicly made up. Now, JT is gearing up to release yet another solo single, “Okay.” She’s been promoting the track heavily on social media, urging fans to pre-save it.

Yung Miami Shows Love To JT’s New Song “Okay”

Yung Miami decided to hop online to show the song some love, posting a few lyrics from the anthem on Twitter/X yesterday. “I’m prettier than a mf hoes be looking okay!!!!” she wrote. Unfortunately, her post left many followers confused and throwing shade in her comments section. “You knew you never wanted to switch sides p*ssy,” one critic wrote, prompting her to respond. “Shut up P*SSY n***a!!!! Go suck some d*ck & get tf out my mentions,” she said. Clearly, she didn’t appreciate the call-out, and doesn’t plan on letting strangers dictate whether or not she supports her friend.

What do you think of Yung Miami showing love to JT’s new song? What about her firing back mid critics rehashing their online from earlier this month? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Jill Scott Praises Chris Brown, Responds To Fans Pointing Out His Abusive History

by

Much of Chris Brown’s allegedly abusive history against women is just that: accusations. However, given that he pled guilty to assaulting Rihanna 15 years ago and the testimonies from his former partners and the media, he has always dealt with folks writing him off due to this past. Granted, the Virginia native has always been quite aggressive in responding to these narratives, and it’s overall a very complicated web. Moreover, a lot of this is popping back up in the trending topics because of a recent tweet from multi-hyphenate Jill Scott praising Breezy. She responded to many folks online on Sunday (April 21) who offered their criticisms, support, or other comments about the matter.

“@chrisbrown is amazing,” Jill Scott wrote of Chris Brown on the social media platform. “How does ANYBODY sing like THAT? Dance, look, Act and Rap… like THAT? Beyond gifted. It appears, exceptional people have to go through exceptional [fire emoji]. There’s nothing to debate.” “I think the women he’s abused would disagree,” one user posited. “I doubt it,” Scott replied. “My Mother’s ex husband was a mean, violent human AND he could lay foundation better than anyone in my city. What he did with cement was awe inspiring. We got away. He got a raise and praise for his ability. God dealt with the rest.”

Jill Scott’s Praise Of Chris Brown

“I love you Jill but he has so many domestic abuses cases it’s ridiculous we can’t look past that,” another fan replied. “I love you too,” Jill Scott responded. “I’m not here to fight anymore else’s battles. If/since women hear the stories, they should avoid that street. Running backwards in moving traffic makes zero sense. Therapy for every damn body.” “Yes he is, but that diss track [against Quavo] was too personal. He went too low,” one fan brought up, changing the topic real quick. “I agree,” she wrote in response.

Meanwhile, what do you think about this situation? Has the 11:11 artist already done everything he needed to atone for his actions or does he still perpetuate this abhorrent behavior?

Usher Fans Hate His “Absurd” Puffer Hat

by

It goes without saying that Usher is a fashion icon, but one of his latest looks has fans riled up, to say the least. Earlier this week, the R&B performer popped out for an appearance on Posted on the Corner in Atlanta, rocking an oversized puffer snapback. After images of Usher in the hat surfaced online, social media users were quick to react, making it clear that they’re not here for it.

Usher paired the controversial piece with a bright blue sweater and a denim jacket, though it’s tough to focus on anything but the hat. It’s speculated to be from MMY (Maison Mihara Yasuhiro), though this is unconfirmed. While the beige version of the hat is sold out across various sites, a black version is currently going for up to $300.

Sadly, most fans weighing in on Usher’s puffer hat agree that it’s a “no.” There are a few loyal fans who can appreciate the unconventional style, however, with some even asking about where they can get one of their own. Usher has yet to address the controversy, but he has posted several clips from his and the hat’s evening on his Instagram Story today.

“Usher really had on a puffer jacket SnapBack hat. That’s absurd,” one Twitter/X user says of the statement piece. Another simply writes, “Usher’s hat really pissed me off.” It’s to be seen whether or not he will address the hilarious outcry at any point, and if he’ll stand by his fashion choices.

Brian McKnight Fuels Backlash By Calling Biological Kids “Evil,” Praising Step-Daughter

by

It’s no secret that Brian McKnight and his children have a complicated relationship, and currently, the performer is facing a great deal of criticism for how differently he speaks about each of them. Earlier this week, he hopped online to respond to a commenter questioning how his biological daughter Briana must feel about being disowned by her father and watching him praise his step-daughter Julia online. Instead of acknowledging Briana, however, he simply referred to Julia as his “one and only daughter.”

“She feels great,” he said of Julia in a clip posted on Instagram. “See, Julia understands the scripture Exodus 20:12, where it says, and I quote, ‘Honor thy father and thy mother that thy days be long upon the land..’ See, she honors us, and in turn, we honor her because she knows how proud of her we are.”

Brian McKnight Refers To Julia As His “One And Only Daughter”

In a follow-up video, McKnight responded to a fan coming to his defense, claiming that he had to remove his biological children from his life to find happiness. “In order to live a life that you love, you have to get rid of the evil and the negativity, even if that evil and negativity is related,” he explained. “We want everyone to live a life that they love but in order to do that you have to get rid of that evil and negativity.”

For obvious reasons, social media users aren’t feeling McKnight’s response. “Dude out here justifying abandoning his kid. He should just not talk about it in public. Sad,” one commenter writes. “YOUR SON IS BATTLING CANCER FOR GOD’S SAKE!!!” another notes. What do you think of Brian McKnight praising his step-daughter Julia while refusing to acknowledge his biological children? Do you think he deserves all of the backlash he’s receiving online?

Jerrod Carmichael Addresses Controversial “Slave Play” Joke

by

Jerrod Carmichael’s new HBO series has mostly been a hit among fans since premiering last month. One joke about the comedian and his white boyfriend, however, recently sparked outrage among viewers. “My boyfriend, he makes me smarter, he makes me read. I have so many books. Realistically I’m not gonna read all those books. He knows that. But the fact that I bought them says I love you. They’re little monuments around my apartment just like ‘look at this book from Amazon that I’m never gonna read,’” he said on an episode of the show. “I sometimes joke to him that our relationship is like that of a slave and a master’s son  — who, like, teaches me how to read by candlelight.”

The controversial concept of race-based sexual slave play didn’t sit right with many, prompting Carmichael to receive a great deal of backlash. According to him, however, people are taking things completely out of context. He addressed the public’s reaction to the joke during his recent appearance on The Breakfast Club, clarifying that the joke wasn’t actually about sex at all.

Jerrod Carmichael Says His Joke Was Taken Out Of Context

“It made it seem like I was talking like I’m into some type of race, sexual slavery roleplay with my boyfriend, which is untrue. It’s so false,” he said of the backlash. “It has nothing to do with my boyfriend, it has nothing to do with the sex that we have. It has nothing to do with sex. It’s something people have been reporting on. It’s about my boyfriend reading so much, he makes me feel insecure about my level of reading.”

Lil Kim Debuts 24-Year-Old Boyfriend, Prompting “Predator” Accusations

by

Age gap relationships have been a hot topic of debate recently, and it looks like Lil Kim has joined the chat. Earlier this week, the rap diva chatted with fans on Instagram Live with her new, 24-year-old man, Tayy Brown. In a clip from the stream, the duo is seen getting up close and personal as they excitedly discuss the 49-year-old’s upcoming collaboration with Adidas.

While some fans are rooting for Lil Kim and her new boyfriend, others haven’t been so supportive. The Neighborhood Talk shared the news on Instagram today, prompting a major debate in their comments section. The “Crush On You” performer is now getting called out for her and her man’s significant age difference. Some users are even accusing her of being a “predator.”

Lil Kim & Tayy Brown Chat About Her Upcoming Adidas Collab

“I’m sorry, but this is not OK. This is predatorial,” one social media user writes. “What is going on with all these grown a** women dating these little boys that could be their sons,” another wonders, “I don’t understand it.” Countless other commenters are also comparing Lil Kim to Draya Michele. She’s been facing criticism as of late for her relationship with 22-year-old Jalen Green. Last month, the 39-year-old announced that the two of them are expecting their first child together, which only compounded the scrutiny.

Several commenters note that older women dating younger men seem to garner more reactions than older men dating younger women, and argue that everybody needs to get dragged equally. What do you think of Lil Kim and her 24-year-old boyfriend, Tayy Brown? Do you think the couple deserves all the backlash they’re receiving online, or are social media users overreacting? What about people accusing her of being a “predator”? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Jerrod Carmichael Race Play Joke Reactions Prove Social Media Isn’t Feeling Him Right Now

by

Many of today’s most popular comedians have relied on shock to sell tickets at one point or another. That’s exactly the era Jerrod Carmichael seems to be in this year. The filmmaker/entertainer debuted a new show on HBO earlier this spring, and the first episode quickly went viral thanks to an appearance from Tyler, The Creator. In that video, the rapper’s friend recalls admitting his feelings for the Flower Boy artist, sharing that a lack of reaction from Tyler left Carmichael in his feelings. Rather than comfort his friend, the former laughed in his face while reflecting on labelling him a “stupid b**ch” instead of addressing the emotion between them.

Now, the 37-year-old is trending online again after more controversy on his reality series. Earlier this week, Carmichael spoke about being in an interracial relationship. Apparently, he finds race play to be a fun way to connect with his partner. “I sometimes joke with him that our relationship is like that of a slave and the master’s son,” the North Carolina native told his uncomfortable audience.

Aoki Lee Simmons Addresses Romantic “Baecation” With 65-Year-Old Man

by

Earlier this week, Aoki Lee Simmons was spotted enjoying a romantic vacation with her rumored new boo. In photos making their rounds online, the 21-year-old is seen smooching 65-year-old restaurateur Vittorio Assaf on a beach in St. Barts. Fans figured the duo’s romance had been confirmed by their PDA, however, she’s seemingly denying it.

During a recent chat with followers on Instagram Live, Aoki received a question about the alleged baecation, and responded by insisting she was on the trip with her “friends.” While it certainly appears that she and Assaf are much more than that, it appears as though she’s looking to keep the fling on the low for now. She shared some photos from the trip in the same bikini she was spotted kissing Assaf in, though he’s nowhere to be found on her feed.

No amount of money. And he’s EXTRA wrong.” Some fans are coming to her defense, however, defending her right to date whoever she chooses. Aoki has yet to address the backlash related to the rumored relationship.

It goes without saying that it’s already been a major year for GloRilla, but according to the Memphis-born performer, she wasn’t so sure it would be. During a recent chat with fans on Instagram Live, she opened up about the impact negative feedback has had on her over the past few months.

Dr. Dre Faces Criticism For Abusive Past After Getting Star On Hollywood Walk Of Fame

by

Dr. Dre is facing backlash on social media for his alleged abusive past, following the unveiling of his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Despite the celebratory ceremony, some fans weren’t happy with paying tribute to a man responsible for such controversial actions.

“Dr Dre has been named as a violent abuser by multiple women. He has stated himself that he was violent but yeah, lets give this name a star and name a grammy award after him. The music industry is sick,” one user on Twitter wrote. When The Neighborhood Talk shared the post on Instagram, other fans had mixed responses. While some did agree, many came to the defense of Dre, and even brought up Chris Brown. “If y’all can forgive Dr Dre y’all can forgive Chris Brown,” one user wrote. Another wrote: “What’s does he’s violent past have to do with the greatest hits of all time he brought us Eminem, Kendrick Lamar and so many great artist.”

The ceremony was a star-studded event, with Eminem, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Jimmy Iovine, and more celebrities all in attendance. At the podium, Dre reflected on the support he’s received over the years. “I’m incredibly grateful for your support throughout the years. Most of us have grown up together. And at nearly 60 years old, you’re still rocking with me, and I really appreciate that,” he said. “Thank you so much. Which is really good, because I’m nowhere near done. You better believe there’s a lot more coming.” Dre added: “Pouring my whole soul and self into my passion for hip-hop led me on a pathway to an incredible career, and I’ve been fortunate enough to make a living doing exactly what I love to do.”
