Drake To Celebrate Birthday By Giving Away Dave’s Hot Chicken

Drake is having a great time right now. His tour just ended and his album just came out, as well. Overall, For All The Dogs has been a massive commercial success. Critically, it has proven to be a bit polarizing. However, he is marching forward with some big streaming numbers. In fact, he is now tied with Michael Jackson for most number-one songs. This is a massive accomplishment, and fans continue to be amazed by what he has done. Now, however, he is on a hiatus.

The real Drake stans out there know that he is celebrating his birthday, very soon. On October 24th, Drizzy will be turning 37 years old. It is almost hard to fathom that the artist is in his middle age right now. In three years, he will be 40 years old, which puts him close to legacy act status. That said, it seems like the artist wants to do something cool for his birthday. According to HipHop-N-More, he will be giving away free food at Dave’s Hot Chicken.

50 Cent and Eminem’s close friendship is well-documented up until this point. Both have co-signed each other, featured on each other’s songs, and performed live in front of millions of people. The New York legend wanted to send his love and appreciation to his brother. He wanted to do this by posting to his Instagram and he dug into the vault for some of these photos. Others are a little more recent, with the last one featuring the two of them and Dr. Dre. It is a picture of them celebrating 50 getting his Hollywood Star for the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

A few of them look to be from live performances, most likely from 50’s Final Lap tour. Lastly, there are a few more from the early 2000s right around the time Cent was blowing up. It is a nice collage of images and it really shows how long this camaraderie has lasted up until this point.

Yung Miami & Southside’s Daughter Turns 4: “Happy Birthday To My Life-Sized Barbie”

For some reason, Libra season seems to have more celebrity birthdays than any of the other astrological signs. Of course, we’re not complaining, as they’re famously known for their beautiful aesthetics and flirtatious personalities. We’ve already seen people like Cardi B and Shenseea celebrate in style, and now, it’s time for one of our favourite rap divas to step into mommy mode for her little one’s fourth birthday. Yung Miami’s daughter, Summer Miami, is officially another year older, and the City Girl made sure to go all out with her co-parent Southside to make the little one feel special.

“Happy 4th Birthday to my life-sized Barbie,” the podcaster captioned her commemorative Instagram post. “I love you so much my little superstar 💗💗💗.” Just as much a beauty queen as her mother, Summer showed off her modelling skills in Caresha’s cute video, sporting clip-on Chanel earrings while posing in a doll box filled with adorable pink outfits and designer bags. On her Story, the “Act Bad” artist happily filmed her daughter lounging in the pool and smiling with her Minnie Mouse balloon.

When it was Southside’s turn to share his love for Summer, the producer penned a sweet message. “Happy birthday my beautiful daughter. I love [you] so much, I don’t care what’s going [on] you have the power to brighten my day. I love you Summer, [today] is your day,” the proud father declared.

Being able to spend Summer’s fourth birthday together was probably a huge stress relief for Yung Miami amid the backlash she’s facing from this year’s BET Hip Hop Awards. For the second consecutive time, her Caresha Please podcast took home a prize, upsetting many male media personalities in the industry.

George Floyd Mourned By Social Media On What Would’ve Been His 50th Birthday

Many voices on social media have been coming forward to reflect on the impact of George Floyd on what would’ve been his 50th birthday, Saturday. When The Shade Room shared an inspirational clip from Floyd about working out, fans mourned the man whose death at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer sparked worldwide protests in 2020.

“I literally started tearing up because when he said he loved the world. It’s the reality the lack of the love the world has sometimes… killed this man. He was a gift,” one user commented. Another wrote: “Happy heavenly birthday my Libra brother [heart emoji] we carried your name. Thank you for bringing us together like that. Libra is Gods right hand man.”

Supporters on social media aren’t the only ones who addressed Floyd’s birthday on Saturday. Speaking with PEOPLE, his sister, LaTonya, admitted that she’s going to “cry all day.” “He should’ve been here. He was just a soul full of joy. I remember me telling him, ‘Boy, you getting on up there,’ she told the outlet. “I remember him saying, ‘I’m still in my 40s. I’m still a kid.’ And he was like, ‘I can still kick it.’ I thought he would be alive to see it. I thought he’d live to be 100.”

Additionally, The White House released a statement from President Joe Biden reflecting on Floyd’s death. Biden described his death as a “tragedy and injustice” and noted that it sparked “one of the largest civil rights movements in our nation’s history.” He concluded: “George Floyd’s memory reminds us that there is more work to do to redeem the soul of America. Let us recommit to changing hearts and minds while enacting policies and laws that ensure our nation lives up to its founding idea: that we’re all created equal and deserve to be treated equally throughout our lives.”

Usher’s Birthday Has Us Blasting Throwback Jams Like “Nice & Slow” As R&B Icon Turns 45

Libra season seems to be a particularly busy time for celebrity birthdays. Stars like Cardi B, Doja Cat, Kim Kardashian, and Amber Rose are all turning another year older in the span of just a few days. Another name on the list of October-born creatives is Usher, who turns 45 today, the 14th. While he’s likely got big plans to turn up with his loved ones all weekend long, we’re commemorating the occasion by revisiting some of the R&B icon’s earliest hits.

Specifically, we’re spotlighting 1997’s “Nice & Slow,” which was produced by Jermaine Dupri and Manuel Seal. The song’s sensual lyrics find a young Usher crooning about getting intimate with the object of his affection. “Now here we are, driving round town / Contemplating where I’m gonna lay you down,” his voice shines on the second verse. As he sings, the Southern artist gets up close and personal with Kimora Lee Simmons. She played his love interest in the Hype Williams-directed visual.

The fashion mogul is just one of many women who was lucky enough to be serenaded by the “OMG” hitmaker during his Las Vegas Residency. Of course, he got some ladies in trouble with their boyfriends, but overall, Usher’s run in Sin City was successful. As that came to a close last month, it was confirmed that he’ll be entertaining the crowd during 2024’s biggest football game of the year.

Revisit Usher’s decades-old visual for “Nice & Slow” above, and be sure to add the song to your playlist on Spotify/Apple Music if you haven’t already. Are there any songs from the birthday boy’s discography that you hope make it on his Super Bowl setlist? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Nelly Celebrates Ashanti’s Birthday With Steamy Throwback Vids: Watch

Happy belated birthday to Ashanti, who turned 43 years old on Friday (October 13). There are many reasons to honor and praise the R&B superstar, but one massive fan in particular knows exactly how. Nelly and her are back together, and they have a lot of special moments, memories, and milestones to celebrate across their long history. Moreover, the rapper recently posted a tribute compilation on Instagram of them performing together, posing for pictures, signing along, and a whole lot more. Throughout the clips, you can tell that they really enjoy being around each other.

“One time for the birthday girl…” Nelly’s caption on the post began. “@ashanti Enjoy your day Ma you look awesome!!!! Happy Birthday Love ya!!!!” Ashanti and him go way, way back, and for those unaware, this is a rekindled romance rather than a new one altogether. It was preceded by a lot of teases, amicable interactions, and hints that the two were getting closer and closer. Clearly, it all paid off towards the end, and now they have a lot to reflect on and cherish. After all, it’s like their bond got a full-on reset button.

Nelly’s Birthday Post For Ashanti: Watch

“Yeah, we cool again,” Nelly confirmed in a recent interview, smiling and getting red in the face as he talked about Ashanti. “I think it surprised both of us, though. It wasn’t anything that was like, I don’t think, planned. We both was pretty much doing what we do. Sometimes being separate allows you to understand one another more. You can be like, ‘Yo, let me see exactly, maybe, what they see.’ We all can be defensive, sometimes, in our own relationships. And we know we wrong but we going to stand on it. But we all a victim to that. Before, I felt like both of us are doing what we’re doing career-wise. When you got so many people in the middle of it, it could be tough.”

Meanwhile this is what his boo had to say about this. “We’re in a great space, everything is positive, we’re having a lot of fun,” she told PEOPLE on the MTV VMAs red carpet back in September. In fact, she also suggested they might collab on new music soon, which is another exciting possibility. For more news and the latest updates on Nelly and Ashanti, stay logged into HNHH.

Offset’s Gifts To Cardi B Blasted By PETA

Cardi B and Offset recently had a pretty lavish and fun dual celebration on Thursday (October 12) that ruffled a few feathers in the animal rights world. Moreover, while the former celebrated her 31st birthday, which was the day before, whereas the latter held a joint release party for his brand new album, Set It Off. Of course, the two showed each other a lot of appreciation for these milestones, and for always supporting them on their individual and unitary journeys. However, what really set PETA off were the three crocodile Birkin bags that the former Migo gave the Bronx MC. Given how much she liked them, we doubt that this will result in the bags being put in the trash.

“Instead of using his wealth and influence for good, Offset chose to funnel hundreds of thousands of dollars into a gruesome, violent industry,” PETA Vice President Lisa Lange remarked. She released a statement directed to the couple on Friday (October 13). “[It] electroshocks crocodiles [and] shoves metal rods into their heads in an attempt to scramble their brains. [It] mutilates them while they’re still alive.

Cardi B Posts Birthday Snaps Along With Offset’s Gifts

“PETA reminds everyone that people who still spend their money on a closet full of dead animals’ body parts either are clueless or simply don’t care about the extreme cruelty they’re perpetuating,” she continued. “It’s just not worth it.” Surely Offset and Cardi B aren’t that ignorant; just a little careless, perhaps, but this certainly isn’t the worst example of this treatment. Regardless, it’s thanks to organizations like PETA that we’re even conscious of these cruelties. They launched research and internal investigation efforts in Asia to minimize reptile cruelty in the fashion world, praising brands like Chanel, Burberry, and Vivienne Westwood for changing their ways.

Considering that the rap couple also gave out food and drinks for free at the bash, which wasn’t all vegan, maybe PETA has a particular bone to pick with these two. These conversations are always important to bring up, because you never know how much one convinced person can change things. If Cardi and ‘Set decide not to buy anymore croc bags, maybe that’s a better life for another living individual. For more news and the latest updates on Cardi B and Offset, stay up to date on HNHH.

Cardi B’s Birthday Shenanigans Included Previewing New Music & Smoking Cigarettes

Cardi B’s vivacious personality has always allowed her to be the life of the party, but for her birthday this year, the New York native is giving back to fans instead of focusing on receiving gifts. On Thursday (October 12), her Instagram feed lit up with a red-hot new post that finds her previewing new music as the Bardi Gang anxiously awaits her sophomore album. “I’m back in the mood, I’m back on they a**es,” the Hustlers actress declares in the clip below. “I’m teaching them classes / These b**ches is food!”

In her post’s caption, Cardi wrote, “Throw it back like it’s Thursday / I got cake, I’m lit, It’s my birthday… Trophies.” As per usual, the fashionista looked flawless while performing for IG, her long black hair twisted into a stunning updo. Her hourglass figure looked seriously sexy in a red dress, which chiefly showed off ample cleavage as Cardi sat pretty amid her collection of flowers and balloons gifted from her husband, Offset.

Speaking of the former Migo, on Friday (October 13), his highly anticipated Set It Off album landed on DSPs, complete with a new “Freaky” collaboration featuring his wife.

“You b**ches, you motherf**kers judging me… You motherf**kers is out here drinking NyQuil mixed with f**king Benadryl. Y’all popping f**king… Y’all not even getting the right motherf**king Percs,” Cardi lashed out at her haters earlier this week. “You’re out here motherf**king popping pills, b**ch. Full of motherf**king Fentanyl b**ch. Let me talk about you b**ches! You b**ches out here walking around with f**king sleepy pu**y.”

Adin Ross Partied At Dave & Busters Rented Out By Drake On His Birthday

At just 23 years old, Adin Ross has built an impressive platform for himself thanks to his often controversial content. The Florida native has been known to land himself in hot water for his hot takes on pop culture news, most recently facing backlash for commenting “Free Tory” under a salacious video of Megan Thee Stallion. Today (October 11) marks the content creator’s birthday, though it’s unclear if he has any plans to mature the nature of what he’s sharing on social media. Based on the fact that he celebrated his big day with a trip to Dave & Buster’s our guess is that the next phase of Ross’ life will either include more of the same antics or some serious inner child healing.

While streaming with fans this week, Adin shared that his friend Drake was the one to rent out the Miami restaurant for him and his friends to enjoy themselves. “I send a text to somebody, I’m not gonna say who just yet,” he told viewers tuning in to his stream. “I’m like, ‘Yo, bro. Do you know how I can go about renting out Dave & Busters? It’s super last minute for my birthday.’”

Adin Ross Reveals His 23rd Birthday Plans

This man, Drake, puts me in a group chat with somebody and says, ‘Can you rent out Dave & Busters in Miami? I’m paying for it. Happy Birthday bro.’”While he remained composed, it’s clear that Ross was flattered by the kind gesture. “This s**t is cr*zy,” he declared after announcing that he’ll be streaming from the venue while partying with his inner circle.

Seeing as October 11th also happens to be Drake’s son’s birthday, it’s entirely possible that he rented out a Dave & Busters for Adin Ross to make up for missing out on the occasion. We’ve already seen Sophie Brussaux’s heartfelt tribute to her young son on Instagram, but we’re still waiting for what Drizzy has in store for Adonis. Make sure to check back in with HNHH later for more music/pop culture news updates.
