Charlamagne Tha God Admits To Disregarding Tyla’s Interview Requests: “I Have A Job To Do”

Earlier this month, Tyla sat down for an interview with The Breakfast Club, which ultimately earned Charlamagne Tha God some backlash. At one point in the conversation, he asked the songstress about her identity as a South African “coloured” person. He was shut down right away. Her publicist made it clear that she wouldn’t be answering any questions about that particular topic, prompting some viewers to accuse her of denying her Blackness. She later addressed this in a statement, clarifying that this was not at all her intention.

Peter Rosenberg was among the first to call Charlamagne out. He claimed that he made the interview “miserable” for both Tyla and her team. Moreover, he accused the personality of going through the list of questions she preferred not to be asked in the interview and asking each one anyway. He was obviously onto something, as Charlamagne has now confirmed that more or less, that’s exactly what he did.

Charlamagne Tha God Discusses Tyla’s Breakfast Club Interview

According to Charlamagne, Tyla’s team previously asked him not to bring up Kai Cenat, her absence from Chris Brown’s tour, a recent injury, comparisons to other artists, her dating life, or her racial identity. “I said to them, ‘No,’” he revealed. He also claimed that at that point, it was up to them to either prepare Tyla for those topics to be brought up or just cancel the interview altogether.

“I am not a d*ck sucker for record labels,” he later added. “I have a job to do, and my job is for the people.” What do you think of Charlamagne Tha God admitting he asked Tyla questions included on her “do not ask” list? Are you surprised? Is he in the wrong for this or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Kendrick Lamar’s “Pop Out” Cost Roddy Ricch His Paris Fashion Week Plans

Last week, Kendrick Lamar hosted his highly anticipated “Pop Out” event at the Forum in LA, surrounded by several of his celebrity peers. YG, Tyler, The Creator, Dr. Dre, and many more made appearances. Roddy Ricch even came out to perform his hit track “The Box.” As expected, he had the whole arena jumping.

According to Roddy Ricch, however, he almost wasn’t on the lineup at all. During a recent chat with Big Boy, he revealed that he originally had other plans. Luckily, he ultimately decided to prioritize “The Pop Out,” though he had to give up Paris Fashion Week in order to do so.

Roddy Ricch Gave Up Paris Fashion Week For LA Show

“Yeah, Paris Fashion Week canceled,” he explained. “We just had plans, and I had talked to Dot. I’m like, ‘Man, I spent a lot of money in Paris already.’” Roddy Ricch says that after thinking it over for a couple of days, he decided that he simply couldn’t miss the LA show. “It’s bigger than us,” he added. “It’s a blessing to just see everybody from the different communities just being together.” While he’s surely disappointed that he had to give up PFW to perform at the historic concert, he doesn’t appear to regret his decision in the slightest. The rapper was among the first artists confirmed to be performing at the event, and made his excitement known early on.

“ITS LIKE INCOME TAX DAY IN LA TODAY!” he captioned a photo of a concert flyer the day of the show. What do you think of Roddy Ricch choosing Kendrick Lamar’s “Pop Out” over his Paris Fashion Week plans? Did he make the right choice or not? Who was your favorite special guest at the show?

Chris Brown Looks Frustrated After Facing Another Set Malfunction On His “11:11” Tour

Chris Brown is currently making his way across North America on his “11:11” tour, and so far, fans are impressed. The hitmaker has left audiences in awe with explosive performances, wild dance moves, and elaborate stunts. Unfortunately, however, he recently ran into some technical difficulties onstage. Earlier this month, he was left stranded in mid-air after some wires got stuck, prompting him to chastise his crew. He was uninjured, though he certainly seemed fed up.

Now, it appears as though he ran into yet another mishap onstage at a recent performance. In a clip making its rounds online, he’s seen closing a song and expecting to be lowered into the stage. Things didn’t play out as he expected, and he got stuck. As a result, he was forced to walk off like normal. He didn’t look happy about it either, though it’s unclear whether or not his team heard about it this time.

Chris Brown Forced To Walk Off Stage After Mishap

Luckily, fans can agree that the small mishap didn’t outshine the rest of the show. He has many more opportunities to make things up too, as his tour is scheduled to run until late summer. Brown is expected to close his “11:11” tour, which also features Ayra Starr and Muni Long, with a performance in LA on August 7.

Aside from his impressive performances, Brown is also offering fans intimate meet-and-greets, allowing them to chat with him and take fun photos. Reportedly, he’s charging up to $1K per person for them, which is certainly no small chunk of change. According to one fan, however, the photo she got with Brown was so up close and personal that it cost her her boyfriend. What do you think of Chris Brown seemingly suffering yet another set malfunction on his “11:11” tour?

Justin Timberlake Comments On DWI Arrest For The First Time At Chicago Show

Earlier this week, Justin Timberlake was arrested for allegedly driving while intoxicated in The Hamptons. Reportedly, he was stopped after having dinner at a nearby hotel and refused to take a breathalyzer test. Officer Michael Arkinson said in his report that Timberlake was pulled over for not stopping at a stop sign, and swerving. “It was ascertained that the defendant was operating said vehicle in an intoxicated condition in that his eyes were bloodshot and glassy, a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage was emanating from his breath, he was unable to divide attention, he had slowed speech, he was unsteady afoot, and he performed poorly on all standardized field sobriety tests,” the officer also wrote.

Timberlake is scheduled to appear in court on July 26, but in the meantime, his “Forget Tomorrow” tour looks to be proceeding as planned. He kicked things off with a performance in Chicago last night. At one point in the show, he even seemingly addressed his latest legal issues onstage.

Timberlake denies the allegations, and according to a statement from his attorney Edward Burke Jr., plans to fight them in court. “[We] look forward to vigorously defending Mr. Timberlake against these allegations. He will have a lot to say at the appropriate time,” Burke Jr. stated. What do you think of Justin Timberlake’s recent arrest for alleged DWI? Are you surprised?

Kendrick Lamar & Dave Free Appear To Be On Good Terms At “The Pop Out”

Earlier this week, Kendrick Lamar hosted his eagerly anticipated “Pop Out” event in LA, joined by several of his celebrity friends. YG, Tyler, The Creator, Jay Rock, and many more made appearances. Dr. Dre even joined Kendrick onstage and kicked off “Not Like Us,” one of the defining tracks of the hitmaker’s viral feud with Drake.

On top of the various peers who performed, many were also spotted in the crowd, cheering Kendrick on throughout the historic show. Of course, Dave Free was also in attendance, proving that he’s still on solid terms with Kendrick. For those who don’t recall, Drake accused Free of fathering a child with Kendrick’s fiancee Whitney Alford on “Family Matters.”

Dave Free Joins Kendrick Lamar At LA Show

Clearly, those allegations don’t appear to be true, as both Free and Alford were seen at the show. In fact, Alford even brought along her two children with Kendrick. He was later seen making his exit alongside Free. This seemingly goes to show that Drizzy’s wild claims didn’t get in the way of their bond. The clip arrives shortly after fans noticed that Kendrick put Free at the very top of the credits after his “Pop Out,” which many thought was a direct jab at Drake.

Either way, Drake’s supporters are continuing to make jokes about the claims he made about Free and Alford. One of Drizzy’s biggest fans, DJ Akademiks, even Tweeted that neither of them showed up for the show as it was unfolding. He later deleted the post, though other users had already captured his false claims in a screenshot. What do you think of Kendrick Lamar getting spotted walking alongside Dave Free at “The Pop Out” in LA? Are you surprised or not?

J Cole & Tee Grizzley Link Up To Film Music Video In NYC

It goes without saying that it’s been a busy year for J Cole. After catching strays on Kendrick Lamar’s verse on Future and Metro Boomin’s “Like That,” he unleashed his fourth mixtape in April, Might Delete Later. The project arrived complete with a scathing response, “7 Minute Drill.” Shortly after unveiling it, however, J Cole backtracked and removed the song from all streaming services. He also issued a formal apology to Kendrick onstage at his Dreamville fest. This was a controversial move until the Compton MC went nuclear on Drake amid their lyrical battle.

Shortly after that debacle blew over, he joined forces with Cash Cobain for “Grippy.” His feature was far from well-received, however, and he was immediately ripped to shreds for what listeners called “cringe” bars. He managed to redeem himself with his fan-favorite appearance on “Free Fall” from Tems’ new album, and now, he’s gearing up to unveil yet another high-profile collab.

J Cole & Tee Grizzley Have New Music On The Way

Earlier this week, the North Carolina-born performer was spotted filming what appears to be a new music video alongside Tee Grizzley. In a clip from the exciting moment, the two artists are seen spitting in the streets of NYC. The video is expected to accompany a new track they have on the way, which does not yet have an official name. It doesn’t have a release date either. The fact that they’re already working on a video, however, indicates that it should arrive sooner rather than later.

XXXTentacion’s Son Gekyume Adorably Poses With Fans On Anniversary Of Father’s Death 

It’s been six years since XXXTentacion passed away from injuries related to a shooting, and in honor of the anniversary, his fans are looking back on his life and tremendous legacy. Ahead of his death, the artist was expecting a child with Cleopatra Bernard, Gekyume. Sadly, the two of them never got to meet, as XXXTentacion died seven months before his son’s arrival. The child’s loved ones, as well as fans, continue to remind him just how impactful his late father was regardless.

It appears as though the boy, albeit only five years old, is starting to get a sense of his dad’s stardom. In a new clip, for instance, he’s seen adorably posing alongside eager fans. He flashed a peace sign while rocking a t-shirt featuring XXXTentacion’s face, clearly happy to make supporters’ days.

Gekyume Flashes Peace Signs As He Poses With Fans

While Gekyume may still be a bit young to fully comprehend his father’s fame, it’s obvious that he’s well on his way, and embracing having become an icon in his own right. This isn’t the first time fans have seen him paying tribute to his dad either. Back in April, footage of the child proudly showing off a framed photo of XXXTentacion onstage performing surfaced online. Most were glad to see the young boy in good spirits, celebrating his dad despite not having the opportunity to get to know him.

Not everyone had the same reaction, however. YMT Boatwright, one of the men allegedly responsible for taking XXXTentacion’s life, reposted the clip alongside several laughing emojis. Clearly, he has no remorse for leaving Gekyume without a father, which may or may not change as he spends the rest of his life behind bars. What do you think of XXXTentacion’s 5-year-old son Gekyume posing for photos with fans? What about fans looking back on the late artist’s legacy in honor of the sixth anniversary of his untimely passing?

Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Gets Chris Brown Turnt At The Club: Watch

Chris Brown is certainly no stranger to showing off his impressive dance moves onstage, and evidently, the R&B icon also likes to flex them at the club. In a new clip, he’s seen getting down to Kendrick Lamar’s viral Drake diss track, “Not Like Us.” He didn’t hold back in the slightest, grooving to the now-infamous bars, which accuse Drizzy of being a “certified pedophile.”

Fans can’t blame Breezy for turning up. The track has gotten awfully comfortable at the top of the charts since its May release. He also has a history of bad blood with the Toronto superstar, as they were rumored to have gotten into a scuffle over Brown’s ex Rihanna back in 2012.

Chris Brown Gets Down To Kendrick Lamar’s Drake Diss

A few years later, Brown reignited their feud with a shady remark on Hot 97. He refused to discuss him because he didn’t want to give out any free publicity. “I can’t keep making these motherf**kers famous,” he said at the time. Drake seemingly fired back at a show in New Zealand by switching up the lyrics to his If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late cut, “Energy.” The original lyrics are “I got rap n****s that I gotta act like I like,” but Drake said “R&B n****s” instead.

Obviously, Brown dancing to “Not Like Us” at the club suggests that he’s sided with Kendrick amid his lyrical battle with Drake. Of course, it’s also possible that he’s simply a fan of the fiery track, as few aren’t at this point. What do you think of Chris Brown getting down to Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss track at the club? Can you blame him or not? What do you think his take is on Kendrick’s feud with Drake? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Megan Thee Stallion’s Dance Moves Leave Slim Thug In Awe At Houston Show: Watch

Megan Thee Stallion is currently making her way across North America on her “Hot Girl Summer” tour, and recently, she enlisted some special guests to join her onstage in Texas. The Houston-born performer brought out Slim Thug, Bun B, and Lil Keke at her hometown stop. For obvious reasons, fans went wild, and can’t wait to see who the hitmaker will bring out next.

During the show, Lil Keke performed “Southside,” Bun B performed “Int’l Players Anthem,” and Slim Thug performed “Still Trippin.” In a clip from the show, he also made it clear that Meg’s dance moves caught his eye, and had nothing but nice things to say. He even later took to social media to ask fans whether or not they think he has a shot at getting with the “Hiss” performer. “What y’all think I got a chance or naw?” he wrote.

Unfortunately, most commenters weren’t feeling his remarks and felt as though he should have kept things professional. “Chances are ……SLIM,” one Instagram user wrote in The Shade Room‘s comments section. “Just be a big brother and relax,” another urged. Regardless, Slim Thug says he had a great time and doesn’t appear fazed by the criticism. “Y’all can hate all y’all want now last night was lit,” he chimed in later.

New special guests aren’t all the Hotties have to look forward to, however, as Meg is also gearing up to drop her new album Megan sometime soon. She previewed a track from it last week, and so far, fans agree it sounds like a hit. What do you think of Slim Thug shooting his shot at Megan Thee Stallion? Do you think he has a chance or not?
