Tyrese Blasts DJ Envy For Lying About Disrespecting His Wife

by

Just when we thought that the dispute between DJ Envy and Tyrese ended, it seems like there’s more to uncover and call out. Moreover, the singer and actor alleged that the radio hosts claims that he disrespected his wife are completely untrue. He said as much during a very lengthy Instagram video, which he put out there because Envy embarrassed him on a public platform. Overall, the message contains a lot of additional allegations, assumptions, and attacks against the media personality’s side of the story. It’s a complicated web to weave, but he broke things down in a few areas.

First off, Tyrese pulled up text messages between all three individuals that they received over the last year or so. This disproves DJ Envy’s claim that they blocked the Fast & Furious alum up until about a month ago, according to the screen star. In terms of their dynamic, he also claimed that Envy and his wife weren’t there for him during hard times, whereas he had done a lot to help them in their relationship. While the Los Angeles native didn’t go into too many specifics, he did hilariously share that he sent Envy’s wife pictures of his new Rolls Royce car.

DJ Envy Is Lying, Tyrese Claims

In addition, Tyrese explained that the timeline of events that DJ Envy used regarding his psych med behavior doesn’t actually line up with any alleged disrespect that he showed his wife. The 44-year-old also defended his character, saying that he’d never do anything to disrespect a known colleague’s partner. In the most basic of terms, he said that Envy lied about the whole thing and is actually just covering up his own reluctance to stay close to him. With this, the R&B crooner will likely provoke some more back-and-forths.

Meanwhile, this Instagram video actually contrasts what Gibson had said in an earlier video, which was much more emotional. Apparently he decided to speak on the issue further after all. The resulting fallout might come soon, it might come late, but one thing’s for sure: during his Breakfast Club interview, he acted much more calmly than how he actually feels about these claims. On that note, stick around on HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Tyrese and DJ Envy.

Lil Xan Looks Back On His Controversial Tupac Comments, Clarifies Them

by

Lil Xan emerged during a time in hip-hop where disrespecting and undervaluing the old guard was the norm. Moreover, he called Tupac Shakur “boring” during a 2018 interview, which made old heads and younger fans alike immediately discredit him. Other examples of this included Lil Yachty calling Biggie Smalls “overrated,” but Xan’s comments rang especially blasphemous to many. However, the California MC’s grown a lot since then, and believes he finds himself in a much better space these days. While speaking to AllHipHop for an interview, he explained the circumstances behind it, but interestingly enough, maintained that he wouldn’t change it if he had the chance today.

“That interview should’ve never even been aired ‘cause I wasn’t in a good place during the interview,” Lil Xan stated. “I was angry at that time. And all that came down to was a result of me just trying to get the interview done quicker. I was like, ‘Next question. Next question.’ And then they just give me questions and I’m messing around.

Lil Xan’s Interview With AllHipHop Explains Tupac Comments

“I think Tupac is a legend,” Lil Xan continued. “I don’t have to explain myself to anybody, but I grew up on a lot of old school West Coast, a lot of old school East Coast. But after that, that was just a little mishap. It was the result of me not being as mature as I am today. Inexperienced with interviews a lot, too. If you would ask me if I could go back and rewrite that, I wouldn’t though. Because it started an interesting conversation in hip-hop. I did get a lot of backlash, of course, but as the years have gone by since that moment, it started what I think is a very good conversation in hip-hop.

“Why do these new cats in hip-hop that weren’t even born when someone like Tupac was around, why do they have to idolize them like the older people?” the 26-year-old posited. “They can appreciate the craft and the music. It’s good. It’s amazing. It’s better than good. But if you think about it like that, that’s some hating stuff right there.” For more news and the latest updates on Lil Xan, stay posted on HNHH.

Drake & Lil Yachty Troll Each Other’s Parenting Under Drizzy’s Adorable Adonis Post

by

Drake is always a proud father online, and recently posted some adorable content with his son Adonis on his Instagram. Moreover, the post includes a clip of Drizzy getting his mom a new watch, and asking his five-year-old why he said he doesn’t want it (it’s apparently too expensive). In addition, he also included a picture of him tending to Adonis’ braids, which actually caught the attention of one of his famous friends. Lil Yachty hit the comments with a funny message: “It’s no way your sitting here acting like your braiding his hair for the internet.” In his equally comical response, the Canadian superstar went perhaps a little harder that he had to on the Atlanta pioneer out of context.

“I was unbraiding it b***h,” Drake replied in the comments section of his adorable IG post. “Your son said you ain’t hit him in 6 months on his finsta he said he need some Jordans and a backpack for school.” For the sake of Yachty and his son (who we’re not sure if he even exists), we hope that the 6 God is mostly joking. Maybe he meant to refer to his daughter and not a son, but even then, she would be about two years old as of this comments exchange.

Drake’s Cute Adonis Post Gets Troll Comment From Lil Yachty

Regardless, it was still pretty funny to see these two best friends go back and forth over what should’ve been just a normally wholesome post. Of course, it’s far from the first time they’ve teased each other online, although they hadn’t involved their parenting skills for a long time. For example, Lil Yachty had a hilarious response to the following Drake-written caption on Instagram. “Least you can do is introduce me to the new you or the old clone or whatever she’s called,” he captioned. “But you expected me to know who she was all along. They used to banish ppl from towns for things smaller then what you’re on.”

“Y’all what do dis n***a be talkin bout?!” Lil Yachty responded. “Load of blabber!!!! am I right [!?].” We’ll see what other online antics these two and their kids get up to in the future. For more news and the latest updates on Lil Yachty and Drake, come back to HNHH.

Ne-Yo Keeps Trolling Critics Of His Trans Children Comments, Doesn’t Care

by

If you’ve caught up with pop culture gossip news in the past few days, you likely know that Ne-Yo’s sitting in a pool of hot water right now. Moreover, he recently made some comments criticizing transgender people, in particular parents who allow their children to transition at an early age. While the singer said that he “loves everyone,” his comments didn’t sit well with many people who understandably interpreted them as transphobic. However, he doubled down on them via an Instagram statement and video soon after, and now added another one to that affirmation. In it, the Arkansas-born artist walks around the house and lets an anti-hater audio clip play.

“Look at me,” the audio clip in Ne-Yo’s new video began. “What about me would make you think that I care about about your opinion of me? Your opinion of me is not the opinion that I have of myself. You ain’t make me, so you can’t break me. You didn’t build me, so you can’t kill me. Uh, you know what? God established me, so ain’t nothing you can do to me. I’ve been him!” “In case anybody was curious…” the R&B star wrote as the post’s caption.

Furthermore, his emphasized stance on these matters came after his publicist apparently posted an apology to his page, which he then backtracked immediately with another post. “Ok. This s**t is getting out of hand,” Ne-Yo expressed on IG. “FROM THE HORSE’S MOUTH. I WILL NOT BE BULLIED INTO APOLOGIZING FOR HAVING AN OPINION. AGREEING TO DISAGREE IS NOT A DECLARATION OF WAR.”

“My intention is never to offend anybody…but my opinion is MINE and I’m entitled to it,” he continued. “I don’t care what y’all do with yours. That’s YOURS. This is how I FEEL. If one of my 7 kids were to decide that [they] wanted to be something other than what they were born as, once they’re old enough and mature enough to make that decision…so be it. Not gonna love em’ any less. Daddy is still Daddy and he loves you regardless.” Let us know what you think of the 43-year-old’s views down below. Also, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Ne-Yo.

Swae Lee & iLoveMakonnen Go Back & Forth After Call-Out

by

iLoveMakonnen recently ruffled some feathers in the rap game by exposing artists in his DMs after collaborating with NBA YoungBoy. Moreover, he called out Swae Lee, Metro Boomin, and Post Malone for leaving him in the dust until this collab came around. In our original coverage of this post, we mentioned that the Rae Sremmurd member in particular left some comments under his indignant screenshots. However, shortly after, the “Tuesday” MC and singer responded to these with some additional thoughts and concessions. While it doesn’t seem like there’s any real beef here, the alleged ghosting just left hard feelings in its wake.

“Bro I was saying that to you goofy not for any reason besides spreading love,” Swae Lee told iLoveMakonnen. “I’m good in the game. I knew you when you was throwing up on shrooms bro relax tf. I saw you on the TL heard the new jam and privately told you it was hard don’t be that guy. That’s funny though bro fr.” Then, Makonnen responded: “yes it was a beautiful garment and u stay booked busy and werkin it’s no denying. U have nice day, post the link if u like the album rollout. U should’ve been on outside but u was ignoring a n***a.”

“We can chop it up anytime you see me though,” Swae Lee wrote in another comment. “I don’t do the public drama s**t stay up.” “Well chop it up.” iLoveMakonnen replied. “It’s love it’s just a conversation. Dont be mad that the only way I get support is if some drama going on. U know the music fire, and u know everybody been tryna deny it. It ain’t no beef. U stay up too.”

Meanwhile, this unfortunately isn’t the first time that something similar has happened to Makonnen. Recently, he explained how his relationship with Drake soured over time. Even though it’s normal for connections to diminish over time in any relationship, it also doesn’t warrant complete ignorance or indignation. Hopefully they can make things up with a collaboration, or more importantly, some quality time as individuals. For more news and the latest updates on iLoveMakonnen and Swae Lee, log back into HNHH.

Asian Doll Claps Back At Haters Commenting On Summer Walker’s Body

by

Asian Doll recently took to Twitter, going on a rant about haters posting negative comments about Summer Walker’s body. She claimed that disses about changes to the singer’s body are low-blows, noting that she’s “always been a baddie.” “Depression #1 side effect is weight loss,” she wrote on Twitter, “Seeing a woman not physically look like herself can be the reason.” Her post continued, Summer is bad always been a baddie so y’all hoes kicking her while she down is some low sh*t idc y’all b*tches fake & love seeing successful women down bad.”

She also added, “b*tches be swallowing pills to get thick but worried about summer walker body when they body pumped up with pills off Alibaba.com for weight gain.” Shortly after her posts, Asian Doll began to receive some criticism herself for previously selling weight-gain pills. Some social media users thought it was hypocritical for her to chime in, while she herself promoted supplements to assist weight gain. The rapper clapped back, however, claiming she simply sold them “to be funny.” “Hoes was trolling my weight,” she added, “I made 50K plus off that sh*t.”

Asian Doll Says Commenting On Walker’s Body Is “Some Low Sh*t”

Walker’s been making headlines lately for her recent breakup with Lil Meech. Her subsequent social media posts have revealed that the catalyst for their split was cheating, on Lil Meech’s part. The news didn’t come as too much of a surprise to those following their relationship. Though they were only an item for a few months, they were constantly involved in scandals, most of which involved Lil Meech’s infidelity.

Walker made it clear that she doesn’t want any part of the cheating, claiming she “tried [her] best to be Jayda Wayda but [she] couldn’t.” She appears to be doing well despite the breakup, however. The songstress graced a stage in Atlanta earlier this week, showing off her twerking skills. Lil Meech, on the other hand, recently posted a photo appearing to be licked by another woman.

Russell Simmons Responds To Family’s Comments About His Behavior

by

Russell Simmons recently got caught up in a lot of heat based on allegations that came forth from his family. Moreover, his daughter Aoki and his ex-wife Kimora detailed his abusive relationship with them, sharing a clip of him screaming at his 20-year-old daughter via FaceTime. Also, they shared text messages in which Simmons blames Kimora for his situation and for taking his money. During Aoki’s Instagram Live session expressing her fears and emotions surrounding the situation, the disgraced record exec actually took to the comments to apologize. Also, he recently shared a response to these developments seemingly addressed to Aoki and his other daughter Ming.

“God is testing you a little bit, it’s ok,” Russell Simmons wrote on Instagram. “Be strong, they are called growing pains as you know. We grow through adversity and struggle. You were forced to read my books and hear me preach your whole childhood reach back remember to remember ‘smile and breathe’ [red heart emoji]. ‘Smile and breathe.’ You are the watchers of this world so let go be at ease.

One particular message from Aoki throughout all this hinted at the Def Jam co-founder’s mental health struggles. “My father is not well,” she wrote on Instagram. “For years, he needs help and won’t accept that he refuses to acknowledge he is not himself. He has threatened and bullied my sister, my grandma, he has harassed my grandma in the middle of the night in poor health, send a man to my sisters apartment at 2am to scare her. He lashes out at ANYONE who does not say ‘oh Russell everything is fine.’ Well it’s not fine.

“If ‘I never get a fashion job again’ like he threatens, I’ll be a lawyer I guess and work in criminal justice,” Aoki continued. “Sure I love my job but if he takes it away from me I won’t die. You don’t threaten my sister and grandma and mother and say ‘who’s gonna believe you I’m Russell Simmons nobody thinks I’m cr*zy‘ well he is.” Furthermore, for the latest news and updates on this story, stick around on HNHH.

Janelle Monáe Called A “Hypocrite” Amid Topless Era

by

Janelle Monáe has gotten some heat on social media lately, after comments she made during a 2013 interview with Essence resurfaced. When asked about her style during the interview, Monáe claimed she was looking to be a positive role model for young girls, claiming that she believed covering up was the way to do so. “People don’t ask Jay-Z to take his shirt off when he rhymes,” she explained, “Redefine what it means to be sexy and what it means to be a woman.” “Showing my skin is not what makes me sexy,” she claimed, “I like skirts and dresses just like everyone else, but I had a message I needed to put out there. It was up to me to show people and young girls there was another way.”

Users have dug up the interview, calling Monáe out for stripping down more than a few times as of late. Her “self-renaissance” has included posing topless for Rolling Stone, telling them, “I’m much happier when my titties are out and I can run around free.” Monáe also recently revealed the album art for The Age Of Pleasure, which again, features the performer posing topless. She explained to Rolling Stone, that a personal evolution has allowed her to feel, “more nude, more present, and less anxious,” than ever. The artist also recently flashed her chest during a performance earlier this month, leading to a Twitter uproar.

Monáe Is “More Nude” Than Ever

Social media has been quick to scrutinize the performer amid her newfound confidence in revealing her body. “Sad to say, but money and fame do change some people,” one social media wrote in response to the resurfaced comments. Another added, “She literally ‘changed’ from trying to show girls a better way to being on some nut shit.” Someone else chimed in, saying, “It’s called she trying sell albums lol.”

Some users, on the other hand, came to Monáe’s defense, claiming, “It’s ok to evolve and change your mind.” One user showed their support, adding, “She showed y’all that for over a decade. Now she’s on a different time.” Another commenter raised the question, “People can’t gain confidence or evolve?”

Jermaine Dupri Claps Back At Hater Calling Him Old

by

Jermaine Dupri just wanted to post a video with him and Usher in peace, but it seems that Instagram trolls won’t let him get away that easy. Moreover, a hater took to the comments section of his video to remark on his old age in a pretty blunt fashion. As far as what the video showed, it was a simple video of Jermaine walking along with Usher and a crew of people, presumably after one of the latter’s Las Vegas residency shows. “Jd like 65,” the troll wrote in the comments section. “He should be sleeping.”

Furthermore, the North Carolina artist replied to that comment in a similarly simple but sincere way. “65!!!” the “Money Ain’t A Thang” star retorted indignantly. “You got me f***ed up!” Not only is Dupri still active in the music game, but he just released a hotly anticipated project. His collab tape with Curren$y, For Motivational Use Only, Vol. 1, released earlier in April, boasting features from the likes of T.I. and 2 Chainz. As such, it’s understandable that JD would be pretty taken aback by people bringing up his age when he’s still on his grind. For the record, Jermaine Dupri is 50.

Jermaine Dupri Isn’t Here For The Hate

Regardless, Jermaine has bigger fish to fry when it comes to beef- or, at least, he had. Last year, he got into a heated dispute with Bow Wow over who deserves more credit in his career’s evolution. Eventually, things got pretty sour, with them going back and forth on social media and dragging each other’s name through the mud. However, Bow Wow recently explained how Nelly helped mend their feud and put the past behind them. Ultimately, it came down to both men, of different generations and priorities, coming to understand each other more as they both entered a reflective, veteran status in the game.

Meanwhile, that’s not the only piece of gossip that circled in the hip-hop world about Dupri recently. Yung Joc compared him to Diddy last March, stating that the latter is more talented when it comes to knowing what’s “hot.” Wherever you fall on that debate, a potential Verzuz battle between the two, which JD said is in development, would make for quite the matchup. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Jermaine Dupri.

Marques Houston Clarifies Comments On Single Mothers

by

Marques Houston recently made some inflammatory comments about single mothers, calling them a “red flag.” Now, the singer and actor took to social media to respond to the backlash and apologize for his insensitive remarks. Not only that, but it also comes after Immature group mate Romeo responded on his behalf and gave an apology to fans, stating that he doesn’t agree with Houston’s views. However, that might have brushed Marques the wrong way, at least from what his Instagram Stories indicate. First, though, there’s his actual apology.

“I humbly apologize for the comments I have made, and to those I have offended,” Marques Houston began. “I have a deep respect for all women of any age, race, or background. My comments made in a recent interview was taken out of context. I work with many independent women every single day, and have ultimate respect for them and what they are able to accomplish in this world and my choice of words, or how they were taken, does not reflect how I view them. So again, I would like to apologize, and will use this experience to both better myself and the men I’m an example to.”

Marques Houston Addresses Backlash To Single Mothers Comments

Before that, Romeo came through with a letter of his own addressing the issue. “I would like to extend my sincerest apologies in regards to the insensitive statements made by my former group member Marques Houston,” he began. “Women today have enough battles to endure including the policing of their bodies, equal pay in the workplaces, and beauty standards. It is never ok to degrade one group of women in order to praise another. As artists, it has always been important to us that the content of our music and who we represent as men would never disrespect women (especially women of color) and his views do not reflect those of the group.”

Still, maybe the Sister Sister actor saw this as an affront against him, and might’ve called Romeo a “bottom feeder.” “To all my fans, supporters and real truth seekers I can see how the media would love to pin people against people for monetary gain,” he added. “But when your at peace, loving life and able to still make a positive impact in the entertainment world for over 2 decades, it’s so easy to move out the way and let the bottom feeders eat. #Protectyourpeace I LOVE YOU ALL!” Regardless of your take on these comments, stick around on HNHH for the latest on Romeo and Marques Houston.
