Luka Doncic Celebrates Birthday With Triple-Double

February 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Luka Doncic turned 25 in style, becoming the first NBA player in history to drop a 30-point triple-double on their birthday. Doncic added 16 assists and 11 rebounds in his monumental effort (and 11th triple-double of the season) as the Mavs beat the Raptors on the road. However, the milestone was largely dismissed by Doncic and his colleagues. “Just a normal game, triple-double. He was really good. I guess 25 means he’s still going to be really good as he gets older here,” Dallas coach Jason Kidd said. “I feel 40, so no,” Doncic said when asked if he felt like 25 was a milestone.

The effort comes after a heartbreaking loss for the Mavs. Max Strus stunned the NBA on Tuesday night as he hit a half-court buzzer-beater to lead the Cavaliers past the Mavericks. With 2.1 seconds remaining, Strus heaved a shot from 59 feet. However, he barely saw his shot go in as he was tackled by his teammates. Strus’ shot is the second-longest shot of the three-point era, sitting behind Devonte’ Graham’s 2021 61-footer. However, Strus himself has admitted that this isn’t even the longest shot of his career. “Yeah, at my Division II school, I made a three-quarter-court shot to win the game,” Strus said.

Luka Doncic Gets Fan Ejected, Feuds With ESPN Reporter For Coverage Of It

Earlier this season, Luka Doncic getting a fan ejected from a Mavs loss to the Suns became a much bigger story at the post-game presser. Doncic found himself in a back-and-forth with ESPN‘s Tim McMahon, who had covered the ejection as soon as it happened. “You’ll be the first one to always put something bad about me,” Doncic shot at the veteran journalist. Furthermore, Doncic called McMahon’s report “not true at all”. McMahon, who began his career as a Mavs beat reporter, attempted to defend his past coverage of Doncic.

Per McMahon, Doncic had asked security to removed a Suns fan after the fan yelled “Luka, you’re tired. Get your a– on the treadmill!” However, Doncic alleged that the comment was far from the worst thing the fan had said. He refused to repeat the fan’s other comments. However, Doncic noted that the fan had been insistently heckling him the entire game. Instead, the treadmill was the one that pushed him over the edge.

Who Is Lil Kim Dating? Tayy Brown Birthday Tribute Suggests Love Is In The Air

February 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

To this day, Lil Kim remains one of the most well-respected figures in the world of female rap. Of course, the men she was involved with throughout her career didn’t always treat her the way she deserved. She famously spent time with Biggie Smalls throughout the 90s and has been linked to names like Ray J, Scott Storch, Benzino, and Sean Combs. It’s clear that Kim has a preference for fellow creative types. However, it seems she’s making changes in her dating life these days, notably stepping out of her age group.

As Vibe reports, it seems the blonde beauty might be shacking up with her signee, Tayy Brown. Hip-hop heads began speculating after seeing their chemistry in the “Love For Ya” visual, but now that she’s wished her man a belated happy birthday with an extra sappy post, there’s even more reason to believe Kim is being romanced by a younger gentleman.

Lil Kim and Tayy Brown Collaborate on “Love For Ya”

“I know this post is a little late, but I was blessed enough to spend [your] whole birthday with [you] and we’re still celebrating ,” Kim wrote to her recent collaborator on Instagram this week. “Our bond is so perfectly matched in the most organic way. I know it was God that brought us [together]. If [people] only knew how big of a role [you] play in my life and in my career,” she continued to gush under a few videos of their cute moments together.

Lil Kim then praised Tayy Brown for encouraging her to deliver new music to her Beehive. “[You] are my motivation and that voice that is always cheering me on. [You’re] so intelligent and such a boss. If they only knew the things we figure out [together], how we can talk with our eyes and be on the same page,” her birthday tribute reads. Though her alleged lover “gets on [her] nerves sometimes,” she takes great pleasure in annoying him back. Do you think Kim has found a solid companion in TB?

J. Cole reunited with Wale while celebrating his longtime manager Ibrahim “Ib” Hamad’s 40th birthday. In a post on Hamad’s Instagram page with photos from the night, Cole and Wale posed together for a picture.

“Thank you to everyone for the birthday wishes and to anyone that came out to celebrate with me this weekend,” Hamad captioned the post. “I feel blessed to have an amazing family and so many friends that have been by my side for a very long time. The love was felt and I’m thankful for everyone that made my 40th a special memory I’ll never forget.” In a separate video from the event, Cole gives a toast to Hamad. “I will say, my n***a, we love you and appreciate you. Happy 40th. Big one,” he says, keeping things brief.

Cole and Wale have worked together many times over the years, as far back as 2009 when they collaborated on “Rather Be With You (Vagina Is for Lovers)” and “Beautiful Bliss.” They most recently worked on the track “Poke It Out” from Wale’s album Folarin 2 in 2021. In 2016, Cole also rapped about Wale on the track, “False Prophets.” He said: “I got a homie, he a rapper and he wanna win bad/ He want the fame, the acclaim, the respect that’s been had/ By all the legends, so every time I see him, he stressin’/ Talkin’ ’bout n****s don’t f*ck with him, this sh*t is depressin’/ And I know he so bitter he can’t see his own blessings.”

February 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

“Leo Beo!!” she began. “Happy Birthday son I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.” Palmer went on to describe her son as the “strongest person” she’s ever known, detailing how he managed to bring her peace even before his birth. “You make my life so worth living,” she wrote. “If I’m being honest I have always teeter tottered with life. I have just always been so annoyed by it and the ups and the downs and it has always seemed so painful for trivial reasons. Things could be so simple and they’re not and that always gave me a bitter feeling. But since you my son, I have no confusion on why I am here! On my purpose or my value or why I should stay. I wanna stay for you.”

Of course, fans are flooding Palmer’s comments section with birthday wishes, as well as praise for her dedication to Leodis.

Nicki Minaj & Rihanna’s Friendship Is Too “Fly”: Bad Gal Gets B-Day Greetings From Rapper

February 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

We’re officially in the final zodiac sign of the astrological year – Pisces. One of the first celebrities to celebrate their birthday under the most evolved water sign is none other than Rihanna, who turned 36 on Tuesday (February 20). By now, the Bad Gal has achieved practically everything on her bucket list, including a family with ASAP Rocky, successful skincare, makeup, and lingerie brands, and an impressive discography that continues to thrive despite her lengthy hiatus from the studio.

Millions of fans sent Rih well wishes on her big day, as did several fellow celebrities. Among them was Nicki Minaj, who’s previously collaborated with the Fenty Beauty founder on songs like “Fly” and “Raining Men.” On her Instagram Story, the Queen of Rap wrote “Happy birthday to this beautiful billionaire from Barbados. How I smile when I know ain’t a b**ch better & ain’t a b**ch badder.” On another slide, she added, “And now… for the baddest b**ch on planet Earth. Happy birthday to this phenomenal f**king woman. Caribbean girls run it b**ch!!!!! Know that, h*e!!!!”

On her Twitter/X profile, Papa Bear’s mom only had more love to give her longtime friend. “There’s only one holiday in #GagCity and that’s #QUEENRih birthday,” Minaj tweeted. “Dear Rih, Thank you. Love always, – an immigrant,” she added, referencing their shared bond of originally hailing from outside of America. It’s unclear if they have plans to collaborate again in the future, but the Barbz would surely like to see it.

Rihanna’s Navy was happy to help her celebrate her 36th birthday this week, and they’ve only grown more enthused since her beau, ASAP Rocky, confirmed that a new album is on the way. It’ll mark the mother of two’s first effort since 2016’s ANTI, and the music industry’s long been waiting to witness what this era will be like for her creatively.

50 Cent Wishes Dr. Dre A Happy Birthday & Teases “New Heat”

February 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent celebrated Dr. Dre’s 59th birthday on Instagram, on Sunday, and teased having “new heat” on the way with the legendary producer. “Happy Birthday to my boy Dre, we got some New Heat coming. @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi,” he captioned an old photo of the two of them.

While many fans expressed excitement at the idea of new music, plenty of users were pessimistic about the timeline for a release. “Hopefully it doesn’t take a decade to release something,” one follower commented. “He was working on Detox when that photo was taken. Still working on it,” another joked.

It’s not the first time 50 has confirmed he’s been in the studio with Dr. Dre. Back in 2023, he made a similar proclamation about new music from the two during an interview with Big Boy’s Neighborhood. “As soon as I said that, I got a text from [Eminem] that he had already spoke to Dre, and that Dre is in there and he got some cr*zy stuff for me to go hear,” he said at the time. “This is my process: I’ll go make something, what I can find, the best music that I can put my hands on. And when I feel real good about it, I bring it to put pressure on Dre to offer me something. ‘Cause he’ll have something… He’s always had something.” Check out 50’s latest post about new music below.

Megan Thee Stallion Recaps Birthday, Shows Off Massive Ring As Gift To Herself

February 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Megan Thee Stallion turned 29 on Thursday (February 15), and she got up to a whole lot to celebrate her birthday. Moreover, she just posted the first of two parts of her birthday recap on Instagram, in which she narrates over a series of clips and pictures of the occasion. For example, the Houston rapper got a lot of gifts, including a massive diamond ring that she bought for herself as a little treat. In addition, she hung out with some high school friends, drank some champagne with her team, and overall seemed to have an amazing time, which is great to see.

Furthermore, Megan Thee Stallion also has a lot of other reasons to celebrate these days beyond just another trip around the sun. Her most recent single “HISS” continues to ring off in playlists and clubs, even if it saw a steep drop-off in the charts after its first week. For something like this, which people mostly saw only through the lens of rap beef with Nicki Minaj, it’s a pretty understandable outcome. The important thing is that the now-29-year-old made her mark for her next album in a more decisive and fiery way that got fans ecstatic for this new era.

Not only that, but she is also venturing into other areas outside of hip-hop to establish her career, although this is nothing new. Megan Thee Stallion crashed her own website with her new Nike collaboration, one of many moves with brands over the years to cement her superstar status. These partnerships don’t make a star out of a nobody, and they are definitely the least important facet of one’s artistic growth and trajectory. But they are important nonetheless, and it’s at least great to see her build her skillset and resumé.

Meanwhile, as folks continue to dissect “HISS” and “Big Foot,” it’s clear that the Traumanize hitmaker wants to move onto other matters. There’s a lot of anticipation behind her next full-length, and a lot of pressure on her to impress and exceed expectations. Let’s see how the rest of 2024 pans out, although we have to admit that we’re pretty confident it’ll be something special. For more news and the latest updates on Megan Thee Stallion, come back to HNHH.

Megan Thee Stallion Wishes Herself Happy Birthday With Stunning New Pics

February 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week while many people were celebrating romance for somebody else on Valentine’s Day, Megan Thee Stallion was celebrating her birthday. The rap superstar turned 29 and decided it was time to celebrate herself. Much like Chloe Bailey, who shared a gorgeous photo dump to Instagram earlier this week, Megan celebrated both Valentine’s Day and her birthday with stunning photoshoot posted to Twitter.

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME” she captioned a collection of photos. In the pictures themselves she’s sporting a bright white bodysuit contrasted by an array of red flowers. In the comments fans rushed to wish Megan a happy birthday and share some of their own favorite pictures and videos of the rapper. The post has already racked up more than 70k likes in just a few hours since it was posted. Check out the gorgeous pictures below.

Megan Thee Stallion’s Birthday Photoshoot

The biggest story of 2024 so far for Megan Thee Stallion has obviously been her single “HISS.” The song was a pretty sharp diss track aimed at numerous people who have wronged her publicly. Despite not naming names, the one person everybody seemed to hone in on was Nicki Minaj. One of the most viral lyrics from “HISS” seems to take aim at Nicki’s husband for his criminal history. Nicki responded to the song with days of rambling on social media and eventually delivered a response track called “Big Foot.” The song was massively criticized online and dropped off the Hot 100 entirely after just one week, while “HISS” remains in the top 20 after a number one debut.

One story that has continued to follow Megan even more than a year after it was settled is her shooting incident with Tory Lanez. Tory was found guilty and sentenced to 10 years in prison as a result of the shooting. Despite that, many online still take his side. Some even claim that there’s additional evidence out there to exonerate him. What do you think of Megan Thee Stallion’s birthday and Valentine’s day photo dump? Let us know in the comment section below.

Is Jess Hilarious Pregnant? Comedian Shares Huge News Amid 32nd Birthday Celebrations

February 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

When 2024 began, Jess Hilarious left us confused as she failed to show up at The Breakfast Club studios to co-host the famous radio show. She had previously confirmed her new position on social media after a successful trial period but was MIA for the first few weeks of the year. Even Charlamagne Tha God wasn’t sure what the future held for him and DJ Envy, but ultimately, TBC confirmed the Baltimore native as their newest addition a few weeks ago, and she’s been keeping us on our toes ever since.

Today (February 13), Hilarious turns 32, which she happily celebrated on-air with her colleagues this morning. When her boyfriend, Chris, called in to send his partner some beautiful birthday greetings, he also let out a major announcement that shocked many tuning in. “Hey baby, it’s your man. I wanted to call and say Happy Birthday, I know this is a special day for you. I can’t wait to see you, I’m so proud of you. Llove that you’re standing divine all the time, and you just such an amazing woman,” he proudly gushed.

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

“I can’t wait to see you later, and then I’m so excited for our little bundle of joy as well, baby,” Chris added, seemingly confirming that Hilarious has a child on the way with her other half. As The Shade Room notes, the birthday girl didn’t seem sure about sharing the news with the world, but Envy and Tha God’s antics suggest that they’ve already known about Hilarious’ plans to expand her family.

As Jess Hilarious prepares to embark on this new chapter of life, another celebrity is moving closer to her due date. 20-year-old Bhad Bhabie hosted a Valentine’s shower for her unborn baby earlier this month, and fans can’t wait to see what the former troublemaker will be like as a parent.

Yung Miami Gives Pregnancy Tests & More Lewd Items For Birthday Trip Guests

February 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yung Miami turns 30 tomorrow (Sunday, February 11), and it looks like she’s going all out to celebrate. Moreover, a picture surfaced of “goodie bags” she prepared for her friends on her birthday trip, including pregnancy tests and some deodorant for “freshin up b***h.” This resulted in some split reactions on social media between folks who enjoyed this lewd but light-hearted fun and other who think the City Girl is pushing it. “So y’all heard of a 30 year old having a Dirty 30? The people yall be around can’t be that boring,” one user commented under coverage of this picture. Another added, “pushing 30 doing s**t like this smh.”

Of course, this isn’t the only reason that the Florida native has for celebrating these days. She recently released the “50/50 Freestyle,” on which she took aim at DJ Akademiks and barred up a little more than what we’re used to hearing from her. As such, Yung Miami seems to be building up for something big soon, or this was just a way for her to vent some feelings out in musical form. Either way, we’re here for it, because who’s downtrodden enough to deny a celebrity some fun?

In addition to all this, she’s also doing a lot to push her “Yams era” these days, which fans are theorizing could be a new album rollout or other interesting endeavors or partnerships. Not only that, but Yung Miami even took inspiration from Deion Sanders for her recent “Yams era” post doubling down on this phase. It was a bizarre place to pull from, but a nice crossover to see in this hyper-connected media age. Maybe this isn’t the end of the rapper’s references and extensions to other pop culture areas, as she and her duo partner JT get more and more prominent as solo creatives while still building their legacy as a team.

Meanwhile, the Caresha Please podcast is also adding to this extracurricular record, and looks like it’ll continue to be the case. We can’t wait to see what this “Yams era” holds, and we hope that Miami has a great time on her 30th birthday trip. After all, she made sure that everyone was safe and prepared for it. On that note, keep checking in with HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Yung Miami and the City Girls.
