Kodak Black Has Fans Concerned After “Sad“ Rolling Loud Miami Performance

by

Recently, Kodak Black graced the stage at Rolling Loud Miami, performing several of his hits alongside a group of talented dancers. Unfortunately, however, his performance hasn’t exactly been well-received by social media users. As clips from the show make their rounds online, the Florida rapper can be seen wandering around onstage, smoking, and more. Reportedly, he showed up late and appeared more focused on random objects onstage than actually performing.

This has earned big reactions from fans in The Neighborhood Talk‘s comments section. Many are insisting that he needs help, and urging his team and others around him to make sure he gets it. “He needs help! His team is failing him!” one commenter writes. “No mic? Not one lyric? This is truly sad to watch. Why his team let him even go on stage like that. He needs ppl around who care about him. This is embarrassing,” someone else claims.

It’s speculated that all of this could be a result of alleged substance abuse. This is unconfirmed, but Kodak has been open in the past about his struggle to stay sober. Earlier this year, for example, he told his supporters that he had mostly stopped using. In November, he revealed that he was experiencing a setback when a fan said they were glad to see him on a better path. “B***h, I ain’t sober,” he said at the time. “I look sober? Never sober, b***h. For what? Look at all this money. Look at all this cash. Sober for what? I’m too young to die sober.”

That same month, social media users thought they saw him allegedly pop a Percocet during a livestream with Kai Cenat. He later dismissed fans’ concerns, making it clear he wasn’t interested in the feedback. “I’m just Yak, bro. Aint s*** changed, that’s how I came in this b****,” he said in part.

Ice Spice Fans Are Worried About Her Weight Loss After Her Latest Instagram Post

by

Earlier this year, Ice Spice turned heads by sharing her fitness journey online and showing off her weight loss for fans, a move that many applauded her for. However, despite this support, there are also plenty of folks on the Internet who expressed more concern with each new update, suggesting that things are going too far. That’s especially the case for her latest Instagram post, in which she shows off just how skinny her belly is. As you can see in the replies under the Twitter post down below, a lot of people cracked jokes about this and made note of how extreme they view this transformation as.

Regardless, we’re sure that Ice Spice will continue to develop her fitness journey as she sees fit, as she’s very proud of her progress and work so far. Maybe all the social media noise will eventually turn too loud to ignore, but there’s a whole lot of other criticisms and online narratives that probably take precedent before this. After all, she continues to face backlash and hate for her musical career moves and for her public image and branding.

Ice Spice’s Latest Instagram Post

But even in that sense, Ice Spice continues to draw eyes to her, as she recently proved with some viral thirst trap pics from her recent Dubai visit. At the end of the day, all that negative attention and engagement translates into the same numbers and buzz that she benefits from in more positive ways. As such, haters always have a hard time truly translating their disdain into effective, relevant, or worthwhile campaigns. It’ll take a lot more than some Internet hate to bring the Bronx femcee down, and without a statement from her on fans’ discussion, we can assume she doesn’t care about any weight loss assumptions.

Meanwhile, Ice Spice is also expanding her crossover appeal, joining the long list of rappers who collaborated with Fortnite. She, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and Juice WRLD were a part of the video game’s “Chapter 2: Remix” expansion update, with unique skins, zones, and weapons for players. Spice has earned the leisure to work on herself and for herself, and if you’re complaining about her transformation, there’s always her virtual version.

Bhad Bhabie Reveals She Wants More Kids After Cancer Treatment, But Fans Feel Something’s Off

by

Bhad Bhabie is ready to have more kids! Or is she? That’s the question that fans of hers are asking right now following concerning video making the rounds on social media. It appears that her significant other, Le Vaughn, shared the clip to his page and it’s got people terrified for the rapper’s well-being. We can see where viewers are coming from, as the internet star seems a little scared while answering his questions. “And we’re gonna have how many more [kids]?” “Two,” Bhabie squeaks out. “When?” Le Vaughn bluntly asks. She takes a gulp and replies, “After my treatment.” “What treatment?” he says. Her face and body language changes and she seems a little more settled down. However, this is when things get even more frightening.

“After my medicine,” Bhad Bhabie reveals. Following her last answer, she looks extremely on edge and uncertain of what is about to happen next. This whole video comes across as a really big job interview and it sounds like Le Vaughn was coaching on her how to respond for the video. To get the full effect of what we are describing, you can view the unsettling clip below.

Again, things sort of go back to normal after Le Vaughn appears to joke about having 10 kids in total. Still, fans, especially other women, are noticing some off-putting signs. “I mean I know she is sick but something else seems off…. Is it me or she looks a little scared?” one IG user wonders.

Others called back to the messy and still murky alleged physical abuse that Le Vaughn laid on Bhad Bhabie. If you remember, she was severely beat up and bruised following the altercation at their home. One fan fears more of that could be in her future, writing, “That’s the look of an abused and scared woman in my opinion. Prayers for her and her child 🙏” We too are hoping for the best, but it will be interesting to see how she responds to these reactions if she so chooses.

Kodak Black Leaves Fans Floored Following Worrisome Appearance On Kai Cenat’s Livestream

by

Kai Cenat is the midst of Mafiathon 2, which is a month-long streaming event that’s lasting for the entire month of November. He’s going to be live every minute of each day and it’s help him raise money while becoming the most subscribed Twitch streamer. So far, a few celebrities have popped out for this, including Lil Uzi Vert and Miranda Cosgrove. Kodak Black is the latest to show up for Kai Cenat, but things grew more and more concerning throughout the livestream. According to AllHipHop, multiple clips from last night have quickly gone viral of the Florida rapper appearing to be gone for most of his time on-screen.

There’s even a time during the livestream in which Kodak appears to take Percocet. While Kai monitors the chat, his guest looks to toss a white tab into the air and catch it in his mouth. The streamer stopped the music immediately and was left totally speechless. Additionally, there a few instances where Kodak was either twitching, sounding incoherent, or just sort of floating mentally. At one point, fans of Kai tuning in were typing mean things about Kodak and even asking for Uzi to come back instead.

The hitmaker noticed the comments and he was clearly hurt by it. He even asked to leave, and Kai did his best to show that some of his viewers were wanting him to stay. Overall, we feel terrible for the rapper, and we continue to wish him the best following this. Kodak has been vocal about feelings of loneliness and open about his drug addiction this year on multiple occasions.

Nelly Fans Express Concern For Him After Alleged Drowsiness During Concert

by

Nelly recently reunited with St. Lunatics for a performance at the American Music Awards 50th Anniversary Special, but another concert drew discussion for more worrisome reasons. Or at least, that’s what many fans assumed. Basically, fans of the St. Louis artist expressed concern online after clips surfaced from a recent show where folks made note of his drowsy eyes, assuming that he’s either high or has something else going on. However, just as many fans thought that nothing was really out of the ordinary here, so we can chalk this up to fan speculation and reading pretty deeply into a performance.

If you’re curious, check out the comments section of the Instagram post below to see this divisive debate. Elsewhere, though, other Nelly fans focused on this recent St. Lunatics performance, especially given his legal troubles with the group. For those unaware, a lawsuit against him emerged that alleged that he never credited them for their work on the 2000 album Country Grammar. This legal filing came from member Ali Jones, but the rest of the Lunatics (Murphy Lee, Kyjuan, and City Spud) reportedly want their names removed from the lawsuit.

As such, it looks like there’s still a chance for Nelly and St. Lunatics to reach an amicable agreement, and it looks like there’s not much bad blood to speak on in this case. Except for Ali Jones. He spoke to DJ Vlad last year about his issues, which may explain why he wasn’t present at their recent performance. “A tiger ain’t never gon’ change his stripes,” Jones expressed. “I watched it for 20 years and I’m the butt of the joke because it took me 20 years to realize it.

“I could put a never, ever behind it will I ever hit the stage or do anything with him,” Ali Jones continued. “He has no real raw good intentions for others. Not for us and we’ve all sat together and searched hard to try to find a time that didn’t benefit him. He got $50 million, I’m happy for him. That’s what he wants. He wants a billion.” We’ll see what Nelly says about this lawsuit and about folks questioning his concert behavior.

August Alsina Hints That The Music Industry Will Be Exposed For “Diabolical” Actions Behind The Scenes

by

August Alsina says that the music industry will eventually be exposed for fostering a “diabolical” level of misconduct behind the scenes. He shared his opinion on the industry during a rant on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday after fans complained about not getting new music from the singer. “I have the biggest bone to pick with him for not doing music anymore. How dare you!” one user wrote, prompting Alsina’s response.

“One day it’ll be revealed the diabolical level of doxxing, railroading, stonewalling, road blocking, gas lighting & betrayal that goes on behind the scenes within this industry,” he wrote. “Abuse of power, all in the name of up-keeping facades, promotion of lies and illusions; While simultaneously hiding of hands to make it look as though you’re fighting an invisible boogey-man. In this industry there is no HR to report this kind of behavior to. BUT GOD has never slept on my prayers or report. http://Give.It.Time! In the other news, I’ve been building business and exploring new territory, successfully:) check it out; http://encinawellness.com.”

In the replies to Alsina’s post, some users brought up the recent arrest of Diddy, who authorities are charging with racketeering and sex trafficking. The Bad Boy mogul has already pleaded not guilty to the crimes and has denied all of the allegations he’s faced over the last year. Additionally, other fans noted Nicki Minaj has made similar complaints about the industry.

August Alsina Explains His Absence From The Music Industry

Check out Alsina’s full post on X below. He released his last studio album, Myself, back in March 2023. It arrived after he had said he’d “likely” be retiring from music in 2021. Be on the lookout for further updates on August Alsina on HotNewHipHop.

Cardi B Reveals Why She Doesn’t Need Security Amid Fan Concerns

by

Recently, one fan spotted Cardi B out and about in New York City by herself. She appeared to be in good spirits, but the clip sparked a great deal of concern from her supporters. She took to X to address the clip of the unexpected sighting, making it clear that it wasn’t a big deal. “It was like 9am and I was hungry …..also nobody finna touch me,” she said.

That did little to ease fans’ concerns, however. They continued to flood her with demands not to go out alone. Again, she clarified that she was fine and that there was no need for fans to worry. “My house got 24/7 security,” she also explained. “I’m very spontaneous and I like my privacy… Sometimes I want to go to the deli or make a quick target run …I’m not waiting around till security come ….ALSO I ALWAYS ALWAYS GOT SOMETHING ON ME!”

Still, the Bardigang was unconvinced, despite her emphasizing the fact that she hates “being babied.” One X user even claimed that one of her posts was a “trauma response,” which she quickly denied. “Wtffff yall be talking about …yall need help,” she responded. “It was 9am and I went to get a bacon egg and cheese …STOP WIT THIS cry baby sh*t ..Y’all too p**** …let me get off this app cause yall irritating me and is not even funny.”

Clearly, Cardi’s got it covered and doesn’t appreciate being treated like she doesn’t. With that being said, it’s no surprise that fans are feeling more protective of their fave than usual, as she’s currently expecting her third child with her ex Offset. She’s been on the hunt for an apartment in NYC lately too, which could explain why she was in town. What do you think of Cardi B telling fans not to worry about her after she was spotted by herself in NYC earlier this week? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Ludacris Updates Fans After Drinking Glacier Water: “I Feel Like Superman”

by

Ludacris concerned fans recently by drinking unfiltered and possibly contaminated glacier water in Alaska, but he said in a new social media video that it’s the best and cleanest water he’s ever drank. “Yo, for everybody asking me how that glacier water really tasted,” he began his remarks. “And when I tell you, I’m a water snob. It was the best-tasting water I’ve ever had in my life. As I drank it, I felt like every cell in my human body was being hydrated and rejuvenated at the same damn time. Had the greatest show in Alaska after that. Just made it to Minneapolis, we got a show tomorrow. Listen, man, I’m here. I feel like Superman. Love to all the fans, glad y’all digging that. It’s different ways of life. I’m just trying to take y’all places, show y’all things, meet people. Come on, man. Love.”

Furthermore, it wasn’t Ludacris’ only ludicrous hot take as of late… At least, in the eyes of many hip-hop fans. “I think Wayne, he’s one of the greatest by the way, I think he’s admitted… He don’t freestyle a lot, so I would just say I would win that,” he said when asked during a Funky Friday with Cam Newton interview about hypothetical freestyle battle match-ups.

Ludacris Praises Glacier Water In New Update

“I’m talking about just straight off the dome is what I’m saying, ‘cause he does it,” Ludacris continued. “But I’m just saying that at one point he even admitted it’s not — he makes songs quick as hell, don’t get me wrong. It’s a sense and a form of freestyling, but it’s just, like, he’s extra with it too. But man, Wayne is one of my favorites. A verse, ah, I would have to say win [against Jay-Z]. I would win on that one. That’s a strong statement to say that ‘cause again, Hov is definitely one of my favorites as well.

“Verses, man, I’m just gon’ go in and metaphor and style, in terms of like flow, I’ma kill that s**t,” Ludacris posited. “It’s not to say that Hov is not gon’ kill that s**t. But I’m, like, when you say s**t like that and it puts me in a category like ‘Oh s**t, I’m going against Hov,’ I got to, like, every f**king word, every line, every style, every flow, every metaphor, I got to go. You got to go back and listen to there was a song with me, Nas and Hov on my album called ‘I Do It for Hip Hop’ [that was] so dope.”

North West Sparks Fan Concern After Hanging Out With Streamer Tylil

by

North West is fresh off yet another feature thanks to VULTURES 2, and wants to hang out with celebrities just as much as her father Ye does. However, this resulted in some controversy when she linked up with popular streamer Tylil for some social media content. Moreover, many fans thought that this was an inappropriate meeting, or were instead concerned with the 11-year-old not hanging out with people that are her age. Still, other social media users pointed out that, not only was La La Anthony there to accompany her, but that North’s security team is probably more than enough to prevent any dangers.

Also, this came as a result of many people not being familiar with Tylil and making unfair assumptions about his character based on this out-of-context situation, which is not what we’re suggesting here. Elsewhere, though, North West also had plenty of fun at Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s recent VULTURES listening party, where we’re sure she saw plenty of famous faces. Sadly, this came at a time in which fans were more preoccupied with Ye’s alleged nitrous addiction. Hopefully we get some more heartening updates soon in that regard.

Nevertheless, North West’s admiration of streamers is no shocker, as Kai Cenat attended her birthday party and responded to the resulting backlash. “Here’s the thing, first things first, bro,” he expressed to “everybody who made [the birthday party] weird.” “I am North’s favorite streamer bro, okay? So, yesterday, all she wanted to do was meet me, bro. That was it. Literally. So, anybody who’s making it weird, like, that’s the weirdest thing ever. We had a great time yesterday. She’s great, bro. She has a good group of friends around her, like, everything was great.”

Meanwhile, North West also popped out to witness Kendrick Lamar’s Juneteenth concert and, to no one’s surprise, had a blast. As such, it’s no surprise that she continues to link up with a lot of people and is always excited about doing so. Fans are reasonably skeptical of many of these interactions, but they would much rather be safe than sorry. Let’s just make sure the conversation centers around prevention and not on falsely characterizing folks that find themselves in this situation.

Chloe Bailey Claps Back At Fan Who Claims Her New Album Will Flop

by

Chloe Bailey has had a busy week and it’s only Monday. The singer was blasted by Jon B. for sampling one of his classic 90s songs. Then, she was widely criticized by fans she announced that her new album would be dropping on Friday, August 9. The concern, at least as far as most vocal fans were concerned, was that Bailey will not have enough time to promote the album. Trouble In Paradise still felt like it was in the early promo stages for many. Well, Chloe Bailey took notice of the concerns, and even responded to one fan who asserted that the album is going to be a flop.

The interaction is less negative than it sounds. While most flop predictions stem from a dislike of the artist, there was genuine concern on Chloe Bailey’s part. Fans want to see here succeed. The user in question wrote: “It’s finna flop bc she did this so randomly.” Again, not the most vitriolic thing one can find on Twitter. Chloe Bailey responded accordingly. She quote tweeted the concerned message and claimed that she was okay with possibly flopping. Instead of attacking her fan, she conceded that an unsuccessful album, commercially speaking, could happen. “Oh well,” she wrote. “Good music is good music and I hope you enjoy.”

Chloe Bailey Is More Concerned With Quality Than Sales

It’s a clap back in the technical sense, but it’s also a pretty mature one. Chloe Bailey has made it clear that she’s less concerned with topping sales charts than in making substantial music. She said as much during a recent interview with Nylon. She praised the likes of Beyonce and Whitney Houston for bucking trends and challenging their listeners. The singer wants to challenge preconceived notions of pop music like they did. ” I was really proud of Beyonce doing Cowboy Carter,” she told the outlet. “Because Black people originated country music. It’s just showing that possibilities are endless.”

Trouble In Paradise will be forward-thinking in many ways, but it will also feature a reunion. Chloe Bailey is set to collaborate with her sister, Halle, on the song “Want Me.” Bailey reflected on the writing process of the song during the Nylon profile. “I immediately wrote it down in my notes, and the song wrote itself in, like, five minutes,” she revealed. “It’s weird, because it’s almost like I wrote the song for two without knowing it.” Hopefully the album does better than some fans are anticipating.
