Kim Kardashian Dishes On Pete Davidson Split, Says Kanye West Played A Big Role

by

It’s been nearly a year since Pete Davidson and Kim Kardashian pulled the plug on their surprising age-gap romance. Now, we’re finally watching all the drama unfold during the third season of the socialite’s Hulu reality series. While she doesn’t reveal exactly what led up to her and the comedian going their separate ways, Kim does make it known that her ex-husband, Kanye West, definitely had a hand in the split.

“Breakups are just not my thing,” the mother of four ranted to little sister Khloé Kardashian and longtime friend Scott Disick during a recent episode. “I’m just proud of myself. We had talks and talks. We had been talking about it. It was both of us just communicating really well about it. It’s obviously sad. Nine months is a long time. I don’t have random hook-ups and relationships,” Kim added, revealing that she and Davidson put no shortage of effort into making things between them work.

Of the tumultuous period the New Yorker spent being berated by Kanye West online, Kardashian says she felt “a lot of guilt.” She further acknowledged, “Pete went through a lot because of my relationship.” Though she recently said that she’s ready to get back on the market, the 42-year-old noted elsewhere on The Kardashians that she’s still waiting to find someone who can put up with the drama that comes along with her life.

“I go back and forth in my feelings sometimes, like, ‘Oh my God, who’s going to want to deal with the (drama)?’” the SKIMS founder pondered. “But my person will be like, ‘F*ck all that. It’s going to be hard, but we’re together, and we’re going to do this.’ So I’m just waiting for that person.” Do you think that Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson had a chance at lasting if Kanye West didn’t meddle in their relationship?

Daft Punk first announced they’d be breaking up with an eight-minute “Epilogue” video released back in 2021. While they didn’t immediately explain the decision, member Thomas Bangalter recently provided further details during an interview with BBC in April. “[In Daft Punk,] we tried to use these machines to express something extremely moving that a machine cannot feel, but a human can,” Bangalter told the outlet. “We were always on the side of humanity and not on the side of technology… As much as I love this character, the last thing I would want to be, in the world we live in, in 2023, is a robot.”

“Infinity Repeating” isn’t the only time that Daft Punk has collaborated with Julian Casablancas. He also appeared on the song, “Instant Crush,” which is featured on the original Random Access Memories tracklist. Other collaborations on the project include Giorgio Moroder, Panda Bear, Todd Edwards, DJ Falcon, Chilly Gonzales, Nile Rodgers, Paul Williams, Nathan East, and Pharrell Williams. The group previously reissued their pivotal debut album, Homework, last year.

Taylor Swift Gets Some Post-Break-Up Advice From Ne-Yo

by

Taylor Swift is now a single woman. This news came as a shock to many, as there were rumors swirling about a potential engagement or marriage to then-boyfriend Joe Alwyn. Sadly, the two could not make it work. Now, fellow celebrities are coming out of the woodwork to shoot their shots and give advice. The latest to do so is R&B singer Ne-Yo. TMZ caught up with the artist in LAX and spoke to him about the recent news of Taylor’s split.

In the video posted on TMZ’s website, the gossip blog’s reporter walked alongside Ne-Yo in the airport. “Is there a silver lining to that sort of stuff?” he asked. “It can be good for songwriting, you know what I mean?” Ne-Yo listened intently and offered his thoughts on the matter. “Oh, yeah, absolutely. Some of my best songs are about heartache and breakups and stuff like that.” The reporter continued, asking if the R&B singer thought Taylor could make use of this. Ne-Yo responded with positivity, looking at the bright side of the situation. “That’s the beauty of being a songwriter,” he explained. “You don’t have to suffer through it as much because you can take that energy and turn it into something positive.”

Taylor’s Sudden Split

The reason for Taylor Swift’s sudden split with Jow Alwyn is still not clear. As always, Taylor has remained tight-lipped about the subject. She has never been one to speak about her relationships much in public. She prefers to save it for her music. However, a source did give Entertainment Tonight a little bit of insight into the situation. They clarified that the breakup was not dramatic. Instead, the two simply decided it was time to end things. “The relationship had just run its course,” the source said. “It’s why [Alwyn] hasn’t been spotted at any shows.”

Taylor Swift generally doesn’t speak much about her relationships until after they are over. However, she and Alwyn were together for six years. So, in an uncharacteristic move, she spoke openly about how he had inspired her song “Lavender Haze.” About the track, Taylor said: “I happened on the phrase ‘lavender haze’ when I was watching Mad Men, and I looked it up because I thought it sounded cool, and it turns out that it’s a common phrase used in the ’50s where they would just describe being in love.” What do you think of the star’s recent split? Let us know in the comments!

Taylor Swift & Joe Alwyn Break Up After 6 Years Together

by

Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn have broken up, according to a new report from ET. The outlet says that the two called it quits several weeks ago at this point. The couple had been together for over six years.

ET also cites sources that say the split was amicable and “it was not dramatic.” They added that “the relationship had just run its course. It’s why [Alwyn] hasn’t been spotted at any shows.” As of last October, sources for the outlet reported that Swift and Alwyn were “doing great.”

Though the two mostly stayed quiet about their relationship, Swift recently discussed their dynamic in relation to her song, “Lavender Haze.” Speaking with ET, she confirmed she based the track on their romance. “I happened on the phrase ‘lavender haze’ when I was watching Mad Men, and I looked it up because I thought it sounded cool, and it turns out that it’s a common phrase used in the ’50s where they would just describe being in love,” she said at the time. “If you were in the lavender haze that meant you were in that all-encompassing love glow. I thought that was really beautiful.”

She further added: “I guess, theoretically, when you’re in the lavender haze you’ll do anything to stay there and not let people bring you down off of that cloud. I think a lot of people have to deal with this now, not just ‘public figures,’ because we live in the era of social media, and if the world finds out that you’re in love with somebody they’re going to weigh in on it. Like my relationship for six years, we’ve had to dodge weird rumors, tabloid stuff and we just ignore it. This song is sort of about the act of ignoring that stuff to protect the real stuff.” Swift is currently traveling the world on her The Eras tour. She will stop in Tampa, Florida, next week.

by

Mod Sun thanked his fans for saving his life on stage at a recent concert, citing their support amid his split from Avril Lavigne. At one recent show, the crowd chanted “Fuck Tyga.” Lavigne has gone out on multiple dates with Tyga in the time since her breakup with Mod Sun.

“Ya’ll fucking saved my goddamn life for the last six weeks,” Mod Sun said onstage in a video published by TMZ. “If any of y’all are going through some shit right now, whether it be heartbreak, depression, addiction, anxiety, maybe you just have a negative voice in your head right now, I want you to know the one thing I have learned in the last almost four years: Do not be afraid to ask for help. So, thank you for helping me. It’s time for a new chapter.”

News of Mod Sun and Lavigne’s breakup broke in February 2023. They had been engaged for nearly one year. Mod Sun spoke candidly about the split in a post on social media at the time, admitting it came as a surprise to him. “In 1 week my entire life completely changed…I just know there’s a plan for it all,” he wrote. “I’ll keep my head up + always listen to my heart, even when it feels broken [broken heart emoji]. Being surrounded by love every night on tour has been an absolute blessing. I have the best friends in the entire world, thanks for always having my back. See you on stage.”

The breakoff occurred right as Mod Sun took off for a tour to promote his most recent album, God Save the Teen. On the project, there’s a track titled “Avril’s Song” as well as a collaboration between the two on “Shelter.” “She blew me a kiss, And I didn’t wanna blow my brains out anymore,” he sings during the song. “And she is everything I’m not. Without her, I am lost.”

Chris Brown Gives Fan Steamy Lap Dance, Her BF Ends Their Relationship

by

Chris Brown has always been known as something of a ladies’ man, but his latest on-stage antics took things too far for one boyfriend in the crowd. During a recent performance in the UK, the R&B artist brought a female fan out to join him. He performed an ultra-steamy lap dance to 2007’s “Take You Down” that had the crowd going wild. Breezy’s dance moves were obviously wowing his audience. At the same time, the receiving patron’s partner caught their intimate moment on camera. He subsequently posted it on TikTok to vent to the world about what he’d just witnessed.

“POV: Buying my girlfriend front row tickets to see Chris Brown … I want my £500 [$615 USD] and my girlfriend back,” @dashthelith wrote in the caption of his since-deleted post. As The New York Post reports, the OP’s comment section quickly flooded with other users insisting that he end his relationship due to the disrespect. “Girls with celeb crushes are red flags,” one person wrote. “They would leave [you] in a heartbeat for that celeb crush.” Another chimed in with, “As a man, I was like, ‘That’s Chris Brown.’ But when she kissed him I would’ve dumped her too.”

Chris Brown’s Ultra Steamy Lap Dances Land Him in Trouble

Chris Brown recently sparked fury after he grabbed former reality show star Natalia Zoppa by the throat during a l@p dance in Manchester. The singer has a history of domestic vi0lence from 2009, when he as$aulted his then-girlfriend Rihanna. #catchupnews #chrisbrown #breakup #singer

In an also-deleted update video, @dashthelith confirmed that he allegedly ended things with his girlfriend following the salacious display. “Just to update everyone regarding the Chris Brown concert, I’m no longer with my girlfriend. She said she doesn’t think what she did was wrong,” he wrote in response to a question on his original video. Seeing as the TikToks were removed earlier this weekend, there’s been speculation floating around that the entire stunt was simply for clout. Regardless, this certainly isn’t the first time the Virginia native has been so up close and personal with fans.

While giving yet another lap dance, the 33-year-old was previously enraged by the woman recording him. Brown was so angry, in fact, that he threw his fan’s phone while pulling off one of his signature moves. “F*CK DAT PHONE,” Brown wrote on Instagram after the show. Thankfully for the embarrassed attendee, others made sure she and her cell were reunited at the end of the night. Read more about that here, and let us know if you would break up with your partner in this situation below.

Megan Fox & MGK Are Reportedly On A “Break,” Pause Wedding Plans

by

Things aren’t looking good for the future of Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly‘s romance. The pair’s relationship has reportedly been hanging by a thread in recent weeks, and according to a new report, they’ve officially decided to press pause on their wedding planning. It was back in January 2022 when the rapper popped the question to the actress with an elaborate proposal. The couple confirmed their relationship in 2020 after working together on MGK’s music video. They’ve fawned over one another at every chance, but things recently hit a snag.

“Megan and MGK are currently on a break but are still in contact. They are very hot and cold,” a source told Us Weekly. “They have stalled wedding planning to work on their issues. Their relationship is pretty volatile at the moment. They are currently off, but still texting each other.” Fox and MGK have often faced breakup rumors, but they were seemingly confirmed following a reported argument ahead of this year’s Super Bowl.

It’s unclear what was at the center of the row, but it was said to have been intense. Fox and MGK reportedly attended a Super Bowl party together, and the rap-rocker was scheduled to perform at another. However, their purported fight caused Fox to high-tail it home on the first flight back. “Megan and MGK had a big fight in Arizona,” another source revealed to the outlet. “She was supposed to go to his performance at the Sports Illustrated party, but they had a fight. She canceled plans and flew out Saturday evening.”

Super Bowl weekend was also when Megan Fox returned to Instagram with an enigmatic post that referenced a line from Beyoncé’s hit record, Lemonade. “You can taste the dishonesty / It’s all over your breath,” she wrote. Soon, gossip spread about the Mainstream Sellout singer cheating on the starlet. His bass player was even named, but Fox stepped in to deny the musician was involved. “There has been no third party interference in this relationship of any kind.”

Trying Therapy

There was also news about MGK and Fox attending couple’s therapy to resolve their issues. Since the rumors about a split have emerged, Kelly hasn’t spoken about his relationship. This unconventional romance—which included MGK giving Fox an engagement ring with thorns that will literally hurt her if she tries to take it off—has raised eyebrows. However, the pair seemed happily in love. We’re sure this will all be included on an album in the future.

Jim Jones Discusses Roc-A-Fella Breakup’s Impact On New York Hip-Hop

by

During a recent conversation on DJ Self’s Apt. 5H show, Jim Jones spoke candidly of the Roc-A-Fella breakup and how it impacted New York hip-hop. Moreover, he also shared some thoughts alongside Hitmaka, with whom he just made a collaborative album, Back In My Prime. As Jones reveals, the dissolution of the legendary label led to a void within East Coast rap, specifically in NYC, where its artists scrambled to find a new home. Furthermore, the collective had an iron grip on the region that also led it through its arguable commercial and artistic peaks.

However, as impactful as their rise to the top was, their breakup dealt a similarly deep and lasting blow to the scene. Of course, it’s by no means dead, dying, or even close to it, but one can’t help but think back on the glory days. “The confusion at the Roc-A-Fella breakup did a lot of damage for New York music,” Jones remarked. “Remember, Roc-A-Fella had so many different types of music. They had The Diplomats, they had State Property, they had Brooklyn s**t. They really had a strong hold on East Coast music, so when that s**t started to happen…“

Jim Jones Speaks On Roc-A-Fella Breakup

Not only that, but producer Hitmaka brought up that they also tapped into the reggaetón market through their Roc-La-Familia sub label. If you’re interested in what that would result in, check out N.O.R.E.’s 2006 fusion of both worlds, N.O.R.E. y la Familia…Ya Tú Sabe. Not only did they experiment and keep an eye on what was next up, but they established a superstar discography, roster, and business in just a couple of years. After Jay-Z teased retirement, moved onto Def Jam, and he and cofounders Dame Dash and Biggs Burke sold their stake in Roc-A-Fella, the group was no more, splintered into different parts. However, Jay kept most of the money in the pot as CEO and president of Def Jam, which left his cofounders blindsided.

“Yeah, all that, but we were friends,” Dame Dash expressed on The Art Of Dialogue in August of last year. “Like, how would you feel if your brother just betrayed you for money? Would it hurt? That’s the algorithm. It wasn’t surprising ’cause that’s what always happens. We were breaking the algorithm, we were doing it a different way and sticking together, but that’s what always happens. They make one sell out the other, their friend, divide and conquer, that’s a normal story. That was my n***a, like we never argued, nothing. That’s why I didn’t know it was coming. That was some real slick s**t. I was like, ‘That n***a’s cold.’” Regardless of your take, stick around on HNHH for the latest on Jim Jones and the Roc-A-Fella camp.

Chrisean Rock Is “Drained” By Blueface Drama As Couple Talks Physical Abuse

by

It feels as if we’ve been in a nonstop cycle of Blueface and Chrisean Rock relationship issues. We haven’t received much new music from the California rapper as of late, but updates about his personal life have been neverending. For years, Blue and Rock have been a concerning couple. The pair have been filmed physically beating on one another on multiple occasions. As if that didn’t already give the public pause, their constant, vicious, public social media arguments have thrust the couple into infamy. Such is the case this week, as Blueface and Chrisean seem to be on the outs once again. Yung Miami expressed her support for the young star amid the drama, but that didn’t stop the “Thotiana” hitmaker from continuing his tirade against his on-again-off-again girlfriend.

This latest wave’s catalyst was Blueface showing off a laundry room covered in dirty clothing. “Look at this sh*t, y’all. I done told this hoe to do the goddamn laundry for about a month now. I tell her, it’s not that hard, baby. Look, if you separate the clothes every day and just do a load a day, it’ll be less work.” He questioned what he was supposed to do with the mess—although he didn’t seem to want to wash anything himself. Elsewhere, he continued to criticize Chrisean, calling her names and repeatedly denying that he is the father of her unborn child. However, admitted there is an eight out of ten chance he is the dad.

Chrisean Rock Reacts To Blueface’s Insults

Rock has made it a habit of ignoring her boyfriend’s rants. Her responses also cause uneasiness, as she often doesn’t acknowledge his remarks and expresses her love. Yet, she changed things up today (March 15) after again finding her name at the center of controversy. Rock responded to the laundry claim, saying she’s “mentally and physically” drained. “Who wants to clean up after a n*gga that beats and cheats on them?” She added she would rather pay someone else to handle those chores because she doesn’t have the mental space to deal with them.

On Twitter, Blueface stated, “Any b*tch out they hands on me getting they ass beat everybody knows that already.” Rock replied, “Nah I just started popping off first cuz I can see it already coming because the first fight was c I wanted to walk away n go upstairs.” She said the argument had to do with Blueface telling her to submit. “N*gga I started thinking I had to be aggressive back so u won’t think u can just b*tch me.” Rock later called him a bully trying to gaslight her into acting out.

It’s unclear where this relationship is headed, but at this rate, it’s going nowhere fast. Rock is moving forward with her pregnancy regardless of Blue asking her to get an abortion. Zeus network has also again found its name in the controversy, as they gave Blueface and Chrisean their own reality series to show off their toxicity. Check out the couple above.

Blueface & Chrisean Rock Seemingly Address Breakup On Twitter

by

Blueface and Chrisean Rock seemingly referred to a breakup on Twitter, as recent messages indicate that they’ve split. Of course, this should still be taken with a grain of salt, as the pair is infamous for their antics and back and forth status. While they fought, partied, celebrated, shouted, cried, and lived together, it seems like that time might’ve come to an end. Furthermore, the California rapper was the first to address the apparent split on the social media platform. Later on, he even retweeted Chrisean’s tweet about the situation, and many thought his original tweet was quite harsh and slightly derogatory.

“She pregnant missing a tooth with 7 tattoos,” the “Bleed It” artist wrote. “Finna make a fool of herself with the next n***a. An I’m not pregnant at all finna live my life perfectly fine with the next b***h who gone take me even more serious now. It’s really tragic fr.” Then, he retweeted Chrisean’s shorter and more blunt take on the apparent separation. “Don’t feel bad for me ima shake dis off fr,” she wrote. “Plus I’m grown I did this to my self.” In replies and on social media, people said that they’ll probably get back together and, responding to Blueface, said that he instigated a lot of Chrisean’s behavior and changed her in the first place.

Chrisean Rock & Blueface Break Up

However, Chrisean had more to say on Twitter, responding directly to Blue. “I get it I’m not mad at him or bout whatever I’m grateful you loved me this far,” she expressed. “N I’ll never stop loving you. You so angry u can just fight with yo self get all dat off ya chest. I hear you loud n clear. I feel every bit of pain n anger. Your reaction is reasonable. Revengeful heart just don’t go anywhere so be safe with tht n two I hurt you so bad that you lose your self n convinced your self to hate me publicly. I take you serious. You just hate me rn . I don’t need the next N***a I got my self. Ion regret anything about my self so honestly trynna put me down is a low blow coming from a man that know he loves me.”

Overall, it seems like quite the intense situation and split between Blueface and Chrisean Rock. Sure, not everybody’s buying that they actually broke up for real this time, but hopefully the bad blood doesn’t last long. Still, check out some of the original tweets referenced down below (unless these two made up and deleted their rants). Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Chrisean Rock and Blueface.
