Usher Calls Being Single “The Hardest Thing” He’s “Ever Had To Do”

by

Usher’s back in full promo and music mode these days, dropping a new single with 21 S*vage and Summer Walker and enjoying his Las Vegas residency. Recently, to talk about upcoming plans, a new album, and all that’s going on in his life, he sat down for a cover interview with VIBE magazine. Moreover, the R&B superstar reflected on a lot across his storied career, including the warring sides of his personality and what his experiences have taught him. However, he also backtracked on famous lines from “Confessions Part II,” and did so to many fans’ amusement on social media. They thought that the most difficult challenge in Mr. Raymond’s life was telling the girl she loves that he’s having a baby with a woman he barely knows, as the song goes.

Jokes aside, Usher said”the hardest thing that [he’s] ever had to do” isn’t that, but rather just being single. “The idea of creating a life with someone is what I would like to do, maybe because I didn’t have or didn’t see that,” the 44-year-old remarked. And I get to remedy that idea by having an incredible partnership. I can then have the thing that I ultimately wanted to see.”

Usher Reveals His Toughest Challenge

Overall, it seems like this obstacle in the crooner’s way is due to the fact that he doesn’t like to be alone. Of course, there are very few people out there who don’t want some company at least some of the time, and it’s about as relatable as Usher can be as a massive entertainer. Still, it’s definitely something that he keeps close to his chest, because his live shows certainly haven’t lost any of their luster no matter his relationship status. In fact, he communicates that longing quite well for audiences, and always keeps things compelling.

Meanwhile, other press runs of his also centered around relationships- but not his own. While speaking to PEOPLE, the Southern heartthrob spoke on the Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson drama that came up after he serenaded the former at his show. He clearly didn’t mean anything by it, and hopes that people will mostly remember the good time that they had. For more news and the latest updates on Usher, keep checking in with HNHH.

Cam’ron Hilariously Antagonizes Mario Chalmers: Watch

by

Cam’ron is someone who has shown quite a bit of prowess in the sport of basketball. Overall, he has played the sport at a high level and is considered one of the best rapper-hoopers. That being said, it only makes sense that he would have his own show dedicated to debating sports topics. The show in question is called It Is What It Is and it features his good friend and fellow rapper, Ma$e. Although they don’t have the production value of First Take, they certainly beat them in entertainment and laugh-out-loud moments.

In a recent episode of It Is What It Is, Cam’ron challenged Mario Chalmers to a one-on-one game. This declaration was made after Chalmers disparaged LeBron James and his accomplishments. “I’ll tell you one thing, Mario, ain’t nobody scared to play against your ass,” Cam said. “I’ll play you tonight, n-gga. Suit up, n-gga. I’ll play you tonight.” Subsequently, Cam found himself backpedaling a bit as he told Chalmers he wanted him drug tested first. However, Chalmers never actually clapped back at Cam, as he is busy with other matters.

Cam’ron Never Misses A Beat

Now, Cam’ron is back, this time on Instagram where he is continuing his funny streak. In the video up above, you can see Cam in a suit, where he recently got to meet with the National Basketball Players Association. Although, no one knows what for. Regardless, while in his suit, he was shooting the basketball around. Additionally, Cam claimed that he could beat Mario Chalmers in a suit and that he was dressed like an NBA owner. Overall, it was quite funny and another demonstration of how Cam likes to play around.

At this point, however, it is very unlikely that we ever see a match between Chalmers and Cam’ron. After all, Chalmers would have everything to lose in that situation. It just would not make sense for him to do it, as losing would be the ultimate indictment of his skills. Let us know who you think would win, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the music world.

by

Big Sean & Jhené Aiko just shared some cute TikTok videos with their son, Noah. While he was born in November of 2022, we haven’t seen much from the family since then. Moreover, the two artists spent a lot of time recently focused on their child, and are still giving him a lot of love.

Furthermore, Sean posted one of the TikToks circling social media to his account. In the clip, they sing their song “I Know” to each other while Jhené carries Noah in her arms. Moreover, she patted the little one on the back as the Detroit rapper stared longingly at her. As far as this writer knows, this isn’t a part of a larger trend, just a celebrity couple admiring each other. Also, they’re calling back to when their chemistry first developed as the duo TWENTY88 on Sean’s album Dark Sky Paradise.

@bigsean

I know you been… 🖤 #fyp

Meanwhile, Aiko posted a TikTok to her account of the two doing a couples challenge together. Basically, the TikTok sound asks them a question such as “Who loves harder?”, “Who eats the most?”, and “Who said ‘I love you’ first?” Then, they had to tap (or playfully hit) whoever the prompt corresponded to with a pillow. If you’ve ever been bored with your partner on a late Wednesday night, you know the vibes.

@jheneaiko

he definitely said ily first 😇 #fyp

However, Big Sean also caused marriage rumors to swirl online after he teased new music while pointing at a ring on his fourth finger. “They rather see me buried alive and barely alive,” he rapped. “How many friends I got to have my casket carried outside / Probably not as many would stand and watch me married outside.” Moreover, this is big for Sean, who previously stated he’d be taking a break from music to focus on parenting.

“Well, I’m definitely taking some time for it to just be us,” he expressed. “You can’t really put a time limit on it.”

Still, what do you think of Big Sean and Jhené Aiko’s TikTok videos with their son Noah? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest pop culture gossip and wholesome relationship moments.

Tony Yayo Says 50 Cent Will “Never Do A ‘Verzuz’”

by

Tony Yayo says that he doesn’t think 50 Cent will ever participate in “Verzuz.” Speaking with VladTV, the G-Unit rapper recalled Busta Rhymes challenging 50 and Yayo to go against him on the show.

Yayo explained that the three of them were at a club together when the friendly banter started.

“I wasn’t — I don’t feel like it was a challenge,” Tony Yayo said in part. “You know Fif told him: ‘I could do this shit better than,'[inaudible mumbling lyrics], you know, I’m spitting Busta shit. N****s just fucking around, but I mean, I think 50’s on the level where he’ll never do a Vezuz bro.”

From there, he explained: “I just think, you know, that guy sold a lot of records. He gets a lot, a lot of money.”

Yayo also said that he’s not trying to disrespect Verzuz or any of the artists who appear on it either.

“I think for a lot of artists, yeah it’s a dope thing. But what was the last dope Verzuz?” Yayo added. “That was Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, who’s the last one?”

When Vlad retorted with the Dipset and The LOX, to which Yayo replied: “Yeah, I think Verzuz is more of a thing like when we was in the house for COVID.”

He continued: “It’s still dope you know, shout out to Swizz [Beatz] and Timbaland. What they did, and they make money and, you know, created a big company so salute to them, like they get money so I can’t knock them.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Yayo reflected on a studio session with Dr. Dre, 50 Cent & Eminem, earlier in his career, as well as his thoughts on Tory Lanez’s recent trial.

Jackboy Hits Kodak Black With $2 Million Boxing Challenge

by

Jackboy and Kodak Black have been engaged in a beef for a little over a year now. It all started due to some of Jackboy’s complaints while on Kodak’s label. He felt as though he was not being paid fairly, which ultimately led to quite a bit of discord between the two.

The artist has had some bars for Kodak, while Kodak has addressed Jackboy in numerous social media posts. Overall, it is an unfortunate feud as it seemed like the two had a good thing going for a while.

Jackboy Addresses Kodak

These days, however, Jackboy is looking for any way to get back at Yak. In fact, according to HipHopDX, the artist is now looking to fight Kodak in the ring. In the video posted by DJ Akademiks below, Jackboy suggested a boxing match. He even said he would put up $2 million of his own money just for the opportunity. Needless to say, he’s motivated to get this done.

“You said shit he bout money somebody make this man, that man aint gon do that,” Jackboy explained. “I would put up $2 million right now to fight Yak in the ring on some Jake Paul shit that man ain’t gon do that. What the fuck, you think Yak can fight me fam in front of people?

“That boy can go get trained by God, boy I’m gon beat this boy ass boy. That’s like a little brother like you know, say your little brother don’t matter how good he get or what he learn in life you just could whoop him. I’m a just whoop you boy.”

At this juncture, Kodak has yet to respond to the challenge. Although, it doesn’t really seem like something that is actually going to happen. However, it would definitely bring in a lot of money.

Let us know who you think would win the boxing match, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the music world.
