Latto Claps Back At LAX Glock Arrest Haters, Shows Out In Chanel At The Atlanta Hawks Game

by

It seems as though Latto can’t catch a break online recently, and this past weekend was no exception. She’s been her usual chipper self in the social media space. Still, Twitter followers were rubbed the wrong way after seeing her recall a previous arrest at LAX airport. The incident took place after she arrived with a loaded Glock stashed in her Birkin. “Got locked and let out in a few hours lmaooo,” the rap diva recalled.

“Booked a $75K jet to my show in Alabama and still made it on time! No cap in my rap TUH,” Latto wrote on Friday (March 17). At the time, many threw shade her way. They quickly pointed out that she shouldn’t have been surprised to face such consequences for bringing a weapon to an airport. “It’s her saying ‘TUH’ as if this proves she really a gangsta,” one user clowned the 777 hitmaker. “Whole time this Donna Karan is licensed to carry.”

Latto Claps Back at the Haters

On Saturday (March 18), the fashionista addressed the hate coming her way. “A mf answer a question for my fans and y’all think a bitch tryna flex going to jail. Lmao, what?” Latto asked yesterday afternoon. While some trolls continued to press her about the LAX incident, others stood supportively by the “Wheelie” rapper in her time of need. “You know you’ve made it when you can’t sneeze without offending someone,” one person quipped. “Literally they always in your business,” another pointed out.

While the internet drama certainly isn’t fun, the 24-year-old clearly had a great time attending the Atlanta Hawks NBA game at State Farm Arena to kick off her weekend. Looking as stunning as ever, she stepped out in a fun, single-strap Chanel dress, carrying a quilted light pink purse from the same brand. Her bronde hair was swept back into a ponytail, and the smile on her face made it evident that the haters aren’t stopping her shine. Keep scrolling for more photos and videos from Latto’s Friday night out, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Josh Duggar’s Prison Sentence For Child Porn Extended

by

Josh Duggar will be spending an extra two months in prison for his 12-year sentence for child pornography. The former 19 Kids And Counting star will be released in October 2032, according to the Bureau of Prisons. Duggar was previously sentenced to 151 months in May 2022. Duggar is currently serving that sentence at FCI Seagoville in Texas. He was placed in solitary confinement, last month, after being found with a contraband cell phone.

At the time of Duggar’s arrest, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Western District of Arkansas said in a press release, “According to court documents, Joshua James Duggar, 33, allegedly used the internet to download child sexual abuse material. Duggar allegedly possessed this material, some of which depicts the sexual abuse of children under the age of 12, in May 2019.”

As part of his sentencing, Duggar is not allowed to have any unsupervised contact with minors. Court documents obtained by Us in June 2022 state, “If there is a concern about the potential for inadvertent contact with a minor at a particular place, function, or event, then the Defendant shall get approval from the U.S. Probation Office before attending any such place, function or event.” Additionally, once Duggar is released, he cannot “possess, use, or have access to a computer or any other electronic device that has Internet or photograph storage capabilities without prior advance notice and approval of the U.S. Probation Office.”

Duggar’s wife, Anna, recently gave birth to the couple’s seventh baby. Altogether they share Mackynzie, 13, Michael, 11, Marcus, 9, Meredith, 7, Mason, 5, and Maryella, 3, and their youngest, Madyson. Duggar and his lawyers are currently seeking to reverse his conviction. They argued his case during a federal appeals court hearing on the matter in February. They claim investigators violated his rights by taking the phone he was using to call his lawyer. This is when they found the child pornography.

6ix9ine Associate & Chief Keef Shooter Kooda B Released From Prison

by

Kooda B was just released from prison, a rapper and former 6ix9ine associate who shot at Chief Keef some years ago. Moreover, it seems he served a portion of his 54-month sentence he received back in December of 2020. According to Complex, his sentence also included three years of supervised release and previously received temporary release on $300,000 earlier in the year due to concerns of COVID-19 given his asthma. Furthermore, he pleaded guilty in 2019 to assault with a deadly weapon in the name of racketeering for the 2018 shooting of Chief Keef outside of the W Hotel in Times Square.

Fortunately, Keef was not harmed in the incident. Afterwards, 6ix9ine allegedly ratted Kooda out as the shooter after he admitted to offering Kooda $20,000 for the hit and paying him half. Now, Worldstar obtained a video of him leaving a correctional facility and greeting loves ones. In addition, he also took to his Instagram to share the good news. Neither Sosa nor the “FEFE” rapper have responded to this development as of writing this article.

Kooda B Released From Prison

“I’m willing to take full responsibility for my actions,” the former prisoner wrote in a court-addressed letter. ”That was an extremely foolish choice I made. I allowed myself to look up to and listen to someone with more success and fame. That was not the right thing to do, I regret it and it won’t happen again. I thought he was a good friend. I was excited that he named a song after me.” If his 54-month sentence includes time served (like his former affiliate’s did), he still saw an early release, as that timeframe would indicate an August 2024 release.

Regardless, Judge Paul Engelmayer scolded the rapper for his actions. “So let me be blunt,” he told Kooda. “You need to grow up and get a more mature perspective on gang activity. If you continue to pursue a career involving rapping and public performances, I hope you will stop romanticizing gang violence. I hope you have learned from this experience that gang violence is not something to celebrate.” Moreover, he faced up to life in prison following his original February 2019 arrest, though the sentence clearly did not reach that mark. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest on Kooda B, Chief Keef, and 6ix9ine.

50 Cent Facing Mediation In Lawsuit From Former Drug Kingpin Over “Power” For $1 Billion

by

When art gets a little too close to reality for comfort, people often try to take back control of their story from the entertainment business. That’s what happened to 50 Cent, who faces a $1 billion lawsuit from a former drug kingpin alleging that 50’s show Power is based on his life. Moreover, this news broke back in 2021, which means they’ve had years to discuss it behind the scenes. However, given a mediation conference scheduled for May, it seems like the legal action could finally manifest into a case. Still, it seems like it’ll be a tough case to beat for Corey “Ghost” Holland Sr. given the timeframe.

Furthermore, 50’s legal team maintains that the one-year statute of limitations in New York law makes the suit invalid. The show wrapped up in February of 2020, whereas Holland’s lawsuit came in April of 2021. Also, they contend that the show is entirely fictional and no rational person could assume that it’s based on Holland’s life. Regardless, his lawsuit took aim at the Queens rapper, the STARZ network, and series creator Courtney Kemp.

50 Cent Anticipates Mediation Over $1 Billion Power Lawsuit

What’s more is that court documents indicate that Holland sent a copy of his Blasphemy CD to Kemp’s father in 2007. He claims that they used this tape for inspiration, especially a track about his experiences as a drug dealer. Not only that, but he believes the seven acts in his CD mirror the seven season of Power and the first two seasons of its spinoff, Power Book II: Ghost. In addition, he claimed that 50 Cent showed up at his home shortly after the suit was filed to confront and instigate a fight between them.

Meanwhile, Fif’s legal team never replied to Holland’s sanction requests over the visit, and the court ordered them to try to work things out. Moreover, the upcoming mediation in May could be the first time they meet, as 50’s alleged visit went awry. Given the massive price tag attached to the suit and the rapper’s magnanimous public profile, perhaps it would be in their best interests to reach an agreement instead of provoke a firestorm in court. Regardless, come back to HNHH for updates on this story and the latest on 50 Cent.

Donald Trump Arrest Coming Next Week, Former POTUS Claims While Encouraging Protests

by

Most of his efforts have been put towards his third presidential run recently. However, Donald Trump took some time on Saturday (March 18) morning to let Truth Social users know that he foresees an orange jumpsuit in his future. As the Manhattan District Attorney continues to investigate the politician, they’re reportedly nearing an indictment. This news has him expecting an arrest next week. In a message this morning, the former POTUS did his part to bash those coming after him before encouraging readers to “protest” should his vision come true.

“NOW ILLEGAL LEAKS FROM A CORRUPT & HIGHLY POLITICAL MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE, WHICH HAS ALLOWED NEW RECORDS TO BE SET IN VIOLENT CRIME & WHOSE LEADER IS FUNDED BY GEORGE SOROS, INDICATE THAT, WITH NO CRIME BEING ABLE TO BE PROVEN, & BASED ON AN OLD AND FULLY DEBUNKED (BY NUMEROUS OTHER PROSECUTORS!) FAIRYTALE, THE FAR & AWAY LEADING LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE & FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK,” Trump wrote in what may be the longest run-on sentence ever.

Donald Trump Prepares for Possible Arrest

“PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!” his message ended, encouraging his supporters to stand up and defend his honour. As CNN reports, John Miller revealed recently that city, state, and federal law enforcement agencies in New York City have been markedly holding regular meetings to prepare for Trump’s possible indictment. The investigation into The Apprentice alum has been going on for years. It specifically looks into whether he passed hush money along to adult film star Stormy Daniels.

It’s worth noting that, though the New York native has an extensive history of being in court for civil matters. This could be his first criminal charge. It may potentially heavily alter the public’s perception of him ahead of the 2024 election. The embattled star previously announced his candidacy last year. Trump’s post didn’t explicitly explain why he believes he’ll be arrested. Still, sources close to the matter say he believes an indictment “would help him politically.”

A spokesperson for the 76-year-old confirmed that he hasn’t received official notice from the Manhattan DA. His message today was simply “rightfully highlighting his innocence.” Do you think that Donald Trump will be taken into custody next week? Sound off in the comments, and check back later for any updates on the ongoing investigation.

Latto Recalls Bringing Loaded Glock 17 To LAX & Getting Locked Up

by

Latto is no stranger to getting flamed on social media, and while she certainly navigates the hate from internet trolls like a pro, it has to be exhausting being criticized so publicly and regularly. While she’s recently faced backlash for working with Dr. Luke on “Lottery,” seemingly twisting the truth about her willingness to work with other female artists for free, and wearing the same panties twice, the rap diva is now rightfully being slammed for bringing a loaded weapon to LAX with her. She shared the story on Twitter earlier this weekend, though many were quick to inform her it’s not exactly the flex she seems to think.

“Bitches PUSSC ain’t taking NUN!!!” the 24-year-old posted on Friday (March 17) afternoon. “I got [locked] up in da airport… GODDAMN forgot da gun,” a fan wrote in response, earning Latto’s attention. “True story!!!” she responded before further explaining the situation when another follower asked her to give “more insight” into her previous arrest ahead of a work trip. “Went to LAX [with] a loaded Glock 17 in my [Birkin],” her post began.

Latto’s LAX Nightmare

Apparently, Latto was locked up but let out after just a few hours. “Booked a $75K jet to my show in Alabama and still made it on time,” the Ohio-born rhymer flexed. “No cap in my rap TUH.” In another post, she confirmed that the LAX incident was different from another one in Atlanta when a female cop allegedly kept trying to make her “cough hard.” She told Twitter, “I was profiled for ‘looking like’ [some] bitch that robbed a n*gga… I’m not no robber man 😂. Jail is NOT for me btw 🥴.”

Unsurprisingly, haters almost instantly began ridiculing the 777 hitmaker for bragging about something so immature and potentially dangerous. “Why do you walk around w a Glock in your bag? Is that supposed to be cute?” someone asked Latto. “Why in the world would you need a loaded Glock, you are not hood and you have no opps,” another user pointed out. Keep scrolling to see Twitter’s latest thoughts on Latto’s antics, and check back later for more hip-hop news updates.

Julia Fox Addresses Brother’s Arrest, Says She’s “Embarrassed” & He Has “A Lot Of Trauma”

by

Julia Fox is no stranger to creating controversy in the online world. Surprisingly, the most recent backlash she’s facing has more to do with a relative than her. Earlier this month, the actresses’ brother, Christopher Fox, was arrested along with their father Thomas, during an NYPD raid. At the time, authorities reportedly uncovered ghost guns and evidence of narcotics manufacturing inside their shared apartment. According to Page Six, items found include fentanyl, chloroform, heroin, crack, cocaine, pressure cookers, and other drug paraphernalia.

The mother of one was reportedly out of town when the raid took place at her family member’s house. She was apparently unaware of Christopher’s alleged crimes. Still, she gave support to him by co-signing a $450K bond with Thomas (who was previously let go from jail) to get her brother out of Rikers Island on Monday. As the news made rounds online, some users began criticizing Fox for standing by her sibling. She markedly addressed this in a TikTok on Thursday (March 16).

“I know my brother. I’ve always known him to be like — I’m not kidding, you guys — the sweetest, most gentle, kind, soft-spoken. Loves animals, loves to plant flowers, has a green thumb, loves nature,” the Italian starlet explained to viewers yesterday. However, she did note that Christopher and her “have a lot of trauma.” Julia describes herself as “scrappy” and “a fighter” who was able to throw her aggression and “release that rage.” On the other hand, she says her brother had a tendency to “internalize” his own anger.

While it’s certainly been a scary experience, Fox is grateful she’ll be able to get Christopher “the help [she’s] been trying to get him for so long.” The Uncut Gems star added, “I wish I could say more but I don’t want to damage his case or anything like that but I will say that I’m just embarrassed.” Thankfully, she’s got other, more positive things to help occupy her mind through this troubling time, such as the highly anticipated return of her Forbidden Fruits podcast.

TLC’s T-Boz Says Her Daughter Was Almost Sex Trafficked

by

Be careful of your surroundings because T-Boz claims her daughter almost became a kidnapping victim. The TLC icon shared her story on Instagram, and it all began when her 22-year-old daughter Chase left a doctor’s appointment. T-Boz, real name Tionne Watkins, shares Chase with rapper Mack 10. According to Watkins, Chase noticed something “weird” on her windshield. She was aware of sex trafficking tactics, so she didn’t touch the item and instead jumped in her car and drove to a public, safe location.

“You’ll always hear about sex trafficking and stuff like that. So, my daughter was just leaving the doctor’s office, and when she came to the car, she had a weird thing on her windshield wiper,” explained T-Boz. “So, instead of touching it, ’cause when you do they’ll have some kind of drug substance on there that’ll make you drowsy and knock you out.” Quick thinking may have saved Chase’s life.

T-Boz Issues a Warning

She continued: “So this is the thing. She looked at her surroundings, she hurried up and got in the car, drove off. Went to a safe, crowded location, and took some object to knock it off. But now, the concern is now I hear they put trackers on your car. So if you have a father, brother, male around, police station, wherever, make sure y’all check for trackers so they won’t track you guys home or to the next location.”

Meanwhile, Chase shared her mother’s video on her Instagram Story and was surprised it went viral. She echoed T-Boz and cautioned the public to stay alert. The windshield trick is a common tactic with traffickers and people looking to track potential victims. They usually leave a note, a flower, or some strange item on a person’s car. When someone stops to view or read, it gives a kidnapper or trafficker enough time to snatch the person away. Additionally, people leave markings on vehicles that look like strange lettering. It’s the trafficker’s way of noting if the potential victim, usually a woman, has children or a man with her. These markings have also been found outside of people’s homes on mailboxes. Watch T-Boz’s video above.

Vladimir Putin Receives Arrest Warrant From The ICC

by

The International Criminal Court (ICC) just put out an arrest warrant for Russian president Vladimir Putin for war crimes committed against Ukraine in their ongoing invasion of the nation. Moreover, the ICC is specifically taking aim at alleged involvement in abducting children from Ukraine, in addition to other cruel behavior. Furthermore, the court stated that the 70-year-old “is allegedly responsible for the war crime of unlawful deportation of population (children) and that of unlawful transfer of population (children) from occupied areas of Ukraine to the Russian Federation.”

In addition, they issued a warrant for the arrest of the Commissioner for Children’s Rights in the Office of the President of the Russian Federation, Alekseyevna Lvova-Belova, on similar charges. However, since Russia does not recognize the jurisdiction of the ICC, said arrest will prove difficult to enforce. In fact, the response of Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova to the warrant makes their position quite clear. “The decisions of the International Criminal Court have no meaning for our country, including from a legal point of view,” she expressed via a statement. Also, a Russian politician reportedly tweeted a joke about the ICC’s warrant, comparing it to toilet paper.

ICC Issues Arrest Warrant For Vladimir Putin

Meanwhile, officials and citizens in Ukraine are reportedly overjoyed at the news. Moreover, a top advisor to Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, said that the country is ecstatic about the fact that the “wheels of Justice are turning.” Still, such spirit from the Ukranian people faced catastrophic besieging for the past year, or decades depending on how you look at the conflict. Despite its history, it’s undeniable that the past year impacted the two nations’ relationship more than ever. However, another important element that people (especially not from either country) brought up are the other public officials that deserve sentencing.

Of course, the primary examples that social media brought up in that regard are U.S. presidents. For example, Clinton, Bush, Obama, and others faced similar accusations of war crimes, although calling them accusations is an understatement. As such, this news caused not just direct discussion on the conflict, but also indirect discussion on the ICC’s jurisdiction and role. Regardless of your take, check back in with HNHH for the latest big news and updates on this story and conflict.
