Cardi B Thinks People Get Backlash For Liking Her, Speaks On Female Collabs

by

Cardi B’s on a wild press run right now for her new single with Megan Thee Stallion, “Bongos.” Moreover, during a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club, she spoke to the co-hosts about her haters and how people seem to get blasted online just for liking her. “Yeah, yeah,” the Bronx MC answered Charlamagne Tha God’s question on whether she reads hateful comments. “You gotta also know what people like, though. You know what? I be feeling like a lot of people hate to admit that they like me. A lot of people are afraid to say that they like me. When people say that they like me, they get attacked. Or if they take my side on anything. So I have to accept that.

“There’s even people that I’ve seen comment nasty s**t about me,” Cardi B continued. “Some of my friends have pressed them about them. ‘Why you be going so hard on my girl?’ ‘I don’t know, I really do like her, though.’ It’s like, ‘B***h!’ Like, matter of fact, I’ma give you an example, right? There’s a b***h, right, I don’t even f***ing know her, but one of my friends knows her. ‘Yo, why this girl got so much issues with you?’ She got so much s**t to say about me, but she always copying my birthday looks! I mean, she does the s***ty version, but it’s like… How you don’t like me? You like me. I feel like I’m already getting over that [mental] hurdle. As long as motherf***ers don’t lie on me, it’s okay.”

In another interview, the 30-year-old spoke on collaborating with other female artists in the game and their idiosyncrasy, shouting out many femcees in the process. “A lot of people be, like, thinking that I be collaborating with the girls and everything ’cause ‘Oh, you’re such a girl’s girl,’” Cardi B explained. “‘What makes you want to be a girl’s girl?’ It’s not that I’m a girl’s girl, I’m just a girl. I’m clearly going to gravitate more to girls’ music. So when I do a song with these girls, it’s because I really like y’all songs. If I like your music and I like your sound, let’s do something together. Why the f**k not?

“If I like your s**t, I wanna work with you if I could fit in your sound,” she continued. “All the girls right now, I feel like nobody sounds like each other right now. And that’s the good thing about it. I feel like there’s not somebody that sounds like Megan, Latto, GloRilla, Sexyy Red, Ice Spice. We have our own different style and, yeah, why not?” On that note, stay logged into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Cardi B.

Lil Reese Ripped Apart By Fans After Friend Pours Drink On A Homeless Man

by

Lil Reese is someone who has gone through a lot during his time as an artist. Overall, the Chicago rapper is someone whose career has been followed very closely. He has amassed a lot of fans during his time in the game. However, he has also amassed a ton of enemies. This has led to some altercations that could have been a lot worse than they ended up. Regardless, Reese is someone who typically remains active on social media, and sometimes, he messes up for all of his fans to see.

A perfect example of this took place very recently. In a video posted to Reese’s Instagram story, he could be seen walking on the street with a group of friends. Eventually, they approach a homeless man who is just minding his business. However, one of his friends goes up to the man and pours a drink all over him. “Get his ass, get his ass. Put that b#### on his head, put that b#### on his head. F### him!” one of Reese’s crew members says. From there, the homeless man says, “Don’t do that, man! That ain’t right, man!”

In the end, Lil Reese did not get the reaction he was probably hoping for from his audience. Instead, a lot of people were simply blown away by the fact that he would post this. “Why [did] you pour your drink on a homeless person for? You ain’t right,” one person said, according to AllHipHop. Many of the other comments on the situation were similar to this one. “You [are] too blessed to be doing what you did to the unfortunate, s###’s lame as hell,” they simply said.

Needless to say, the fans have sent Reese a message about acting this way in the future. Whether or not he listens, remains to be seen. Let us know what you thought of his actions, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from the music world.

“Love & Hip Hop” Confirms Erica Mena Won’t Appear On Next Season Of Atlanta Series

by

Erica Mena’s name has been in the headlines far more than usual lately, and not for very flattering reasons either. Besides getting carried away with drinking at Atlanta lounges, the socialite is also facing backlash for making racially insensitive comments about her Love & Hip Hop co-stars. Mena, who’s Puerto Rican and Dominican, called Spice a “monkey.” In addition, she told the Jamaican artist that she “should have died” during a recent hospitalization.

Social media users and podcasters are continuing to discuss the situation. Some are making it known that they think Mena’s removal from the show is warranted. It seems the L&HH producers have heard the concern loud and clear. They shared a statement this weekend confirming that the next season of the reality show’s Atlanta installment won’t include the 35-year-old. “The ‘Love & Hip Hop’ franchise has never shied away from hard conversations in our community,” their message began.

Erica Mena is Seriously Facing the Consequences of Her Actions

“Working hand-in-hand with our partners, viewers will see the impact of Erica Mena’s remarks play out over the final three episodes of the season,” they continued. “Effective immediately, she will not appear in the next season of ‘Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta.’” There are some who think it’s unjust to only call the New York native out now that the public has seen the footage, as well as others who are pointing out troubling behaviour that other cast members have engaged in previously that might also warrant their removal.

Troubling comments we’ve heard her make about Spice and others over the years aside, another incident that’s got Erica Mena in hot water recently is her simple battery arrest. The Tubi actress had a drunken night out with Bambi Benson, ZellSwag, and Saucy Santana recently. It resulted in three of them in handcuffs while the “Booty” rapper fled the lounge as a fight broke out. Read more about that at the link below. Let us know if you think L&HH is making the right call by removing Mena from next season in the comments.

Kai Cenat Sparks Debate After He Jokes About Taking 17-Year-Old Fan To Strip Club

by

As one of the biggest streamers right now, Kai Cenat is no stranger to controversy and sparking debate. Moreover, recently he ruffled some feathers online after comments that seemed to garner him some backlash, although many thought that this was an exaggerated or downright fabricated reaction. While live with a 17-year-old fan, Ray, Cenat spoke to a friend via phone call who joked that they should all go to a strip club when they’re in Los Angeles. Of course, given Ray’s age, this caused many to express their concern for the social media star egging this prospect on. Regardless, it’s all with a joking and light-hearted tone, so hopefully they know that it’s probably not the best idea for all their sake.

After all, Ray and Kai Cenat have much more to bond over other than escapades like that. The two co-starred in the streamer’s new action-comedy short film in the style of Rush Hour, the YouTube exclusive Global Pursuit. The two met in Japan, and as a superfan of his, Ray is very appreciative for all that Cenat has done for him. Still, he seemed quite excited and amused about this club prospect, whether in jest or with genuine intent.

Furthermore, this isn’t the biggest thing on Cenat’s plate right now when it comes to flack-catching happenings online. Recently, an in-person giveaway event in New York went sour fast when fans started getting rowdy and causing chaos in the streets. During a stream he held after this incident, Kai Cenat responded to it by attributing blame on the bad actors who took things too far. There are certainly things he should’ve done to mitigate these negative effects, but it’s a gray area that he must learn to navigate as someone with a lot of influence and power.

“I am beyond disappointed with anyone who became destructive that day,” he said on stream. “That s**t is not cool, I want people to know that. I don’t condone anything that went on that day. None of that was my intention. I had good intentions for this whole thing.” For more news and the latest updates on Kai Cenat, stick around on HNHH.

Mario Receives Backlash For Allegedly Writing Letter To Judge In Support Of Tory Lanez

by

Earlier this week, Tory Lanez was sentenced to 10 years in prison for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in 2020. The sentencing has gotten social media users talking. While many users have condemned Lanez, others have continued to come to his defense. Lanez’ collaborator Mario also took to social media previously, defending his decision to work with him. Allegedly, he even wrote a letter in support of Tory Lanez to the judge.

“As an independent artist doing his thing, it’s a lot of artists who don’t work as hard as he do,” Mario began on Instagram Live. “Regardless of whatever, the music is what it is,” he then says. “You still listen to music regardless of what’s going on in the world.” “The music is what you love people for,” he adds, “we’re going to keep the energy positive.”

Mario Defends Working With Tory Lanez

A photo of the letter allegedly written by Mario to the judge surfaced recently, where he appears to cite Lanez’ work ethic, family, and more. “When Tory first became a father,” the letter says, “I remember a conversation about everything he wanted to leave for his child someday.” “I have never seen Tory act out of character in a manner to hurt someone,” it also reads. “We’ve spoken on the phone many times and prayed with each other. All I can ask and pray for is that he and his son are treated fairly.”

Now, several social media users are calling Mario out, claiming that it was a bad move to come to Lanez’ defense. Some believe that showing support for the artist could even be detrimental to his own career. “He fumbled his comeback at the 1 yard line over Tory Lanez,” one Twitter user writes. Others have also started to bring up Mario’s own past, claiming that they’re not surprised he’s on Lanez’ side. “Mario is a great songwriter. Writing a letter to a judge? Not so much,” a Twitter user adds.

Maino Shares His Apathetic Thoughts On The 6ix9ine & Kodak Black Collab

by

As if this Friday wasn’t stacked enough with high-profile music releases, 6ix9ine decided to throw his hat into the ring with his new song “Shaka Laka.” Moreover, it features Kodak Black and Tekashi’s girlfriend Yailin la Mas Viral, and given the rapper’s history with snitching, a lot of people aren’t happy with Yak’s decision to work with him. Regardless, other hip-hop figures said that it doesn’t even matter so much at the end of the day, because rappers do things wrong all the time that one can’t stop by themselves. Furthermore, one of these believers is Maino, who recently spoke to Angela Yee on Way Up about the link-up.

“Nah, I’m just saying, I don’t think nobody cares,” Maino expressed. “I mean, I’m not surprised at what no rapper does. When you’re talking about morals and principles that’s supposed to be based around a street code… I mean, listen, we’ve seen rappers do whatever they wanted to do, do things that they shouldn’t do. It don’t even matter to me at this point. Nobody cares. People gon’ do what they gon’ do, like, regardless. I ain’t even got no opinion about it, it’s whatever.

“Absolutely not,” Maino answered to a question from Yee about whether he’d do that collab, and then she asked her cohost the same thing. “Well, I’m not a guy, and my street code is different,” ChellaH said. “A lot of ways that I think is different from a lot of guys. I don’t think, you know, the whole ‘no snitching’ thing for somebody who don’t care about you and stuff like that- I think totally different. I don’t know, for that check, I probably would.”

Meanwhile, Boosie Badazz was one of the hip-hop figures who denounced this collaboration. “That n***a Yak f***ed me up,” he said on Instagram Live. “I wonder how all them Zoes feel, dawg? I know them Zoes f***ed up right now, I know the state of Florida f***ed up right now. Thought that little n***a wasn’t like that, bro. N***a ain’t no street n***a, at all. F***ed me up.” For more news and the latest updates on Kodak Black, 6ix9ine, and Maino, come back to HNHH.

The track was controversial upon it’s release due to it’s striking depiction of female sexuality. The song’s suggestive accompanying music video also sparked some debate, having amassed a whopping 504 million views on YouTube. Earlier this year, Cardi also discussed the song’s backlash on The Jason Lee Show. She revealed that she didn’t even submit the song to the Grammys out of fear of the backlash she’d face if the song won.

“This is what I was mad about, ’cause this shoulda got a Grammy,” the host said, “I’m probably gonna get a call about this later because this is what I tell her on the phone. I tell you this on the phone.” “You know what,” Cardi responded, “This is something where it’s like, I need to stop letting the internet control my life. ‘Cause I didn’t want to submit ‘WAP’ because I was afraid that if I win or if I—you know what’s so crazy? The internet got me even afraid of winning. That is insane.”
