Chrisean Rock Spends Time With GloRilla At Dance Studio

by

A recent clip shows Chrisean Rock spending time with her fellow rapper, GloRilla. The footage of the two artists dancing and having fun has been making it’s rounds on Twitter, and some fans claim that Rock appears to be doing better than ever. The video has arisen amid heated social media beef between Rock and the father of her unborn child, Blueface.

Last month, Rock shared a post on social media claiming that she’ll be taking on her child without Blueface. “It’s just Chrisean now, Chrisean and God,” she wrote on Twitter. She added, “We welcoming this baby soon, but the version [and] vision I have is out of this world, it’s happening as I’m typing. The negative shit been behind me.” Rock also said she’s “Going so far away that there’s no invite on my planet.”

Blueface also recently responded to a clip circulating that appears to show Chrisean agreeing to hang out with another man. He wrote, “It’s a difference when somebody lie about who they really are [and] somebody tell the truth about who they really are. One is right [and] one is wrong, I let you decide.” He also recently slammed Rock for claiming that she prayed for her current pregnancy. “Bih prayed for dis we don’t wanna hear da sob story anymore we over that already,” he wrote. Blueface added, “You got what you prayed for…You held up the prayer line just to boo hoo about it.”

Rock opened up about her pregnancy amid the drama last month. “Now he don’t see a future with me anymore we both done things to each other that we lost trust so I was left with [the] option aborting I was surprised I’m that far along that it’s no turning back from being a mommy I instantly fell in love when I saw the face n heard the heartbeat,” she explained. Rock went on to say, “I had to separate my heartbreak from the biggest thing that I prayed for n in da beginning. I’m not gonna move out of fear. I’m ok with moving on I’m ok with letting go anything that’s not for me.”

Fat Joe & Eli Manning Do The “Lean Back” Dance

by

Fat Joe was able to get former New York Giants Super Bowl winners Shaun O’Hara and Eli Manning to do his “lean back” dance in a new video posted on Instagram. “History’s made,” Joe exclaimed after the group finished the move inside a sneaker shop.

Joe released “Lean Back” in 2004. It was featured on the tracklist to Terror Squad’s second and final album, True Story. The song peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Speaking with HipHopDX at last year’s BET Hip Hop Awards, Joe explained that he conceived of the dance while he recorded it. “The same time that I recorded it,” he said. “At the time, Jamaican music was really, really killing ’em. And I said, ‘I need something to rockaway, lean back.’ So when I made it, I made the dance for it. The same time.” He added: “We knew off rip, that thing was outta here. Every now and then you make a song that’s like, ‘Oh no, this is gone. This is outta here.’ Yeah that was it.” Check out Joe performing the dance with Manning and O’Hara below.

Joe made waves on Instagram, earlier this week as well, after advising aspiring rappers to get a part-time job. “If your man said he raps and he don’t have a deal. There’s a problem with that,” he said in a video post. “It’s called plan A, get a job. Plan B, hope you make it. This has never changed. Some guys be like, ‘I gotta get a regular job?’ Bro, you gotta get a job! If you got kids and you got this girl that got an apartment and y’all sexin’ it up every day, you got to pay some bills.”

Beyonce Brings Blue Ivy To Dance On Stage During “My Power” Performance

by

Beyonce’s RENAISSANCE tour has been nothing short of show-stopping so far, months after its insane ticket prices and high demand drove (and keep driving) fans crazy. Still, the superstar keeps finding new ways to not just treat them to a special experience, but do so for her family, as well. Recently, she brought out her daughter Blue Ivy to dance with the rest of her team during a performance of her track “MY POWER.” Of course, Ivy kept up with grace during the show, which is unsurprising since this isn’t the first time she’s joined her mom on stage. Still, this is a level up, and it’s great to see her enjoying some quality family time in what should be a pretty busy and distracting time for the Queen.

Furthermore, Beyonce’s family is as much of an emotional and audience support as they are a literal part of the team. For example, Blue Ivy and her dad Jay-Z watched her opening show in Stockholm, Sweden along with the rest of the BeyHive. In order to keep a low profile and blend in within the pit, they wore simple black and white clothes as they watched the spectacle. After all, they can’t try to top the 41-year-old’s amazing fits on her special night.

What’s more is that this isn’t the only way in which Blue Ivy is following in her parents’ footsteps. Sure, she’s clearly gotten a lot of help along the way, but how many other celebrity kids can say that they have two RIAA-certified gold singles at that age? Her first was for her contributions for the closing track (aptly named “Blue”) on Beyonce’s 2013 self-titled album. Furthermore, the second is on The Lion King: The Gift for the song “BROWN SKIN GIRL.”

Meanwhile, she also got in touch with some heavy star power earlier this year- though, again, it can’t be too uncommon for her these days. During the 2023 Super Bowl, the 11-year-old snapped some pictures with Lil Uzi Vert. Given that Queen Bey performed their track “Just Wanna Rock” during her tour, the connection is unsurprising.

Lil Kim Honors Michael Jackson During Tour

by

Regardless of public controversy, the King of Pop’s legacy lives on, whether in people’s hearts or on massive stages. Moreover, Lil Kim made an impromptu appearance as a supporting act for Janet Jackson’s “Together Again” tour on Thursday (May 18) in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Specifically, the Brooklyn rap legend graced the stage as a replacement for Ludacris, another hip-hop icon, who was Janet’s supporting act save for that date. During her performance, she paid tribute to Michael Jackson with a dance and rendition of his classic track “Smooth Criminal.” Considering the gargantuan three-act set-up of the tour in massive venues, it must’ve been quite the show.

Of course, Lil Kim has gotten to that career point where she might receive similar tributes from other artists, or these artists speak on her profound influence on them. “My mom was a rapper, right?” Megan Thee Stallion expressed on the Hulu series RapCaviar Presents. “She was a female rapper, but I had never heard of women being rappers ever because my mom was listening to UGK, Three 6 Mafia. My daddy [listened to] Lil Wayne, like, we only listening to men in the house. But one day, my mom put on Lil Kim. Damn! She raps harder than a lot of these guys!”

In addition, the 48-year-old recently treated fans to a fun and era-blending show at Usher’s Lovers & Friends Festival. Along with her backup dancers, Lil Kim gave her own spin on Lil Uzi Vert’s smash hit track and dance, “Just Wanna Rock.” However you felt about that performance, you can at least say that it was heartening and enjoyable to see the star pay tribute to the newer generation. In a time during which hip-hop seemed more divided than ever, it’s nice to see the old and new guards move past the SoundCloud rap mentality and move further into supportive coexistence.

Meanwhile, she will always honor one of rap’s most enduring and influential figures: Biggie Smalls. “It’s always important to honor the king,” she expressed on his 50th birthday. “He’s the king. The king lives on. He’s just an amazing person, amazing artist … his legacy. It’s just great. Like, I mean, look at the catalog. Look at everything that he’s accomplished, even at such a young age.” For more news and the latest updates on Lil Kim, log back into HNHH.

Lil Kim Puts Her Twist On Lil Uzi Vert’s “Just Wanna Rock” Dance At Lovers & Friends

by

Of course, the biggest story surrounding the Lovers & Friends Festival surrounds its host Usher’s alleged scuffle with Chris Brown. However, that doesn’t mean that there weren’t excellent performances at the event all around, such as Lil Kim. Moreover, the hip-hop icon graced the stage on Saturday (May 6) with a rundown of some of the most iconic points in her catalog. Still, she made some time to shout out the newer generation and add her own twist to it. At one point during her set, she danced along to Lil Uzi Vert’s massive hit “Just Wanna Rock.”

However, not every fan was happy with the performance, or reacted to it with the same enthusiasm. While many applauded her for doing her thing and having fun while doing so, others came through with more criticism, pointing out her dance moves or her body. Unfortunately, it’s pushback that Lil Kim always dealt with throughout her career, and brushed off each time. Whether it’s her legal issues or her place in the culture, the 48-year-old still garners a lot of conversation and discussion on her legacy.

Lil Kim Just Wants To Rock At Festival Performance

In fact, more recent teases point to that legacy facing off against another in a big way, especially considering past beef. Furthermore, Swizz Beatz recently led fans to believe that a Verzuz battle between Lil Kim and Nicki Minaj would be coming soon. “I can’t say, I can’t say,” he responded to questions on The Breakfast Club about the potential matchup. “So there’s still a possibility?” DJ Envy inquired. “Yeah, I can’t say. I can’t say,” the producer replied. “But just know if you’re going to wait this long for Verzuz, if we gone have you wait this long, it’s definitely going to be worth it. If I’m being quiet, things are happening. It was important for us to take a break and organize what we have and actually understand what we have.”

Meanwhile, the “Crush On You” MC will share her story on Audible’s hip hop series coming this summer. With that in mind, perhaps she’s now in a place where she wants to celebrate and look back on her illustrious career. Be it through a Verzuz matchup or another dance homage to a contemporary hit, her name is here to stay. Regardless, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Lil Kim.

Cardi B Dances To Celebrate Cinco De Mayo, Jokes About Being Considered Mexican

by

Cardi B found that the best way to wish everyone a happy Cinco de Mayo would be to show off her impressive dancing skills. Moreover, she uploaded a clip to Twitter of her busting some moves to a live rendition of “La Chona” by Danny Felix, popping her belly out and hopping along. It’s not quite the fantastic fluidity that one expects from a track like that, but we’ll take what we can get. Regardless, the recent Met Gala show-stopper faced a lot of people online claiming that she is Mexican, or at least assuming her heritage. After having some fun with people’s confusion online, she tweeted out a joke about her presumed nationality.

“We’ll never beat the Mexican allegations omg,” one fan wrote on the social media platform. Then, Cardi B quote-tweeted a cheeky response. “I mean they claim I’m Mexican… I might as well embrace my new nationality lol.” However, the Bronx rapper then deleted her post for unknown reasons, though it’s possibly due to people bashing the statement for its potential insensitivity. After all, Cardi faced a lot of criticism in the past for identifying as a Black woman when many others would say otherwise. For the record, she is of Dominican and Trinidadian descent with African and Spanish roots.

Cardi B’s Dance Moves Wish Everyone A Happy Cinco De Mayo

No matter your view on her nationality, at the end of the day, it was just a fun video that she might have put her foot in her mouth over. Still, it must take a toll on her if other events like the Met Gala, for example, already give her anxiety. “Every single time that I got to the Met, it’s fun of course,” Cardi B said in a behind-the-scenes clip from the occasion. “After my first time going to the Met, I always get anxiety. And the anxieties just grow and grow and grow. Maybe because my looks are so spectacular that people just expect every year to be more amazing than the last. And it’s so hard because imagine competing with myself. That is sickening.”

Meanwhile, the 30-year-old remains as entertaining as an artist as she does an online personality. Recently, her and her husband Offset recreated the viral “spicy bowl” to fruitful results. Whether she’s participating in trends or setting them, everything she does seems to have a dash of fun-loving energy in it despite potential controversy. For more updates and the latest news on Cardi B, come back to HNHH.

The “I Like It” MC Responds

Safaree & Amara La Negra Bump & Grind For Instagram

by

Safaree and Amara La Negra just put on an intimate dance show for Instagram, bumping and grinding with each other. Moreover, the classic Marc Anthony hit “Pa’lla Voy” played in the background, and the Jamaican-American artist captioned the post with “Trying to teach me wth” and some laughing emojis. Of course, given Amara’s Dominican descent, she has those salsa moves on point. On that note, it actually wasn’t all that intimate, as they danced more traditionally before getting closer. With this, the “Love & Hip Hop” alumni gave yet another instance of PDA– and we’ll see how this one goes over with Safaree’s ex-wife Erica Mena.

Furthermore, she recently blasted him for his lousy gifts to their daughter on her birthday, while he gave new boo Amara’s twin babies matching Rolex watches for their small wrists. After Mena and Safaree finalized their divorce in September of last year, it seems like things are still pretty rocky between the two. After all, Erica alleged that the 41-year-old only got their daughter a birthday cake and some balloons for her third birthday. With that discrepancy in mind, it’s not hard to see why she would lash out.

Amara La Negra & Safaree Get Up Close & Personal Dancing

“Awe so cute,” Erica Mena began her takedown of Safaree and Amara La Negra under a post covering his Rolex gifts. “It’s just very interesting how my kids have NEVER received gifts like this by this waste man. My daughter just turned three. All she got was a birthday cake and a few balloons in his living room.” Apparently that isn’t even the worst of it. She said he didn’t celebrate their son’s first birthday “until two weeks after the fact,” and he only brought balloons. “Happy [everybody] enjoyed this circus-themed birthday party with a deadbeat clown as the special guest.”

“Before I go someone @ him,” Erica continued in another comment. “He blocked me since I won’t take his crying begging a** back ([hence] why [he’s] now desperately shooting in Miami). Let him know he has medical bills that’s only $8K for last year he owes along with… Never mind just tell him he got it. Pay it.” For the latest on Safaree and Amara La Negra, check back in with HNHH.

Method Man Dances Along With ASL Interpreter

by

Wu-Tang Clan just graced New Orleans, Louisiana with a stellar performance at the New Orleans Jazz And Heritage Festival. Moreover, all members (including Raekwon, RZA, GZA, U-God, and more) seemed to have a great time on stage as some of their best hits played. In particular, the crowd and the crew were really feeling their rendition of the classic “Can It All Be So Simple.” In fact, Method Man was very impressed with the American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter that helped them throughout the show. He had such a great time watching her do her thing that he danced along, imitating her hand motions and observing her with a big smile on his face.

Given his incredible catalog and wide range of experience in many industries, it’s always an event when Method Man is on stage. However, many fans were disappointed when he said he wouldn’t join the rest of the Wu for their “N.Y. State Of Mind” tour last year. While many thought that they wouldn’t get to hear his iconic verses live, fans in Newark, New Jersey got a special treat. Both Meth and Redman popped out to perform “Da Rockwilder,” “Wu-Tang Clan Ain’t Nuthing ta F**k Wit,” and “M.E.T.H.O.D. Man.”

Method Man Vibes Out With Sign Language Interpreter

On that note of extracurriculars, the 52-year-old got a lot of praise for his acting work on 50 Cent’s “Power Book II: Ghost.” That praise actually prepared him to deal with criticism as well, advice that he wanted to share with his peers. For example, Yung Miami recently got flamed for her performance on another G-Unit show, “BMF.” After she responded to some haters and the discussion went viral, Method Man chimed in with some blunt advice.

“F**k people,” he told a reported from TMZ who caught up with him and asked about the phenomenon. “People are mean. White noise, white noise. I love the City Girls, they’re dope.” Overall, it’s great to see the rapper lend a hand to the next generation. Clearly, he’s all about enjoying the moment and being proud of your work, and he shares that pride to and with others quite often, as this viral clip shows. For more updates and the latest news on Method Man, stick around on HNHH.

Lil Wayne Shows Off Dance Moves On Tour

by

Lil Wayne might be one of the best rappers of all time, but have you ever wondered what the game might look like if he became a b-boy instead? Well, he at least gave fans a glimpse of that alternate universe during one of his most recent “Welcome To Tha Carter” tour stops. Moreover, he danced on stage while one of his classic Drake collaborations, “The Motto,” played in the background, and fans were loving it. It might not be the craziest routine you’ve seen, but it’s certainly more than many of today’s biggest rap stars offer on stage as far as engagement. Whether in the studio, a small set, or a stadium, Weezy almost always delivers- well, if you’re not in Atlanta, that is.

Furthermore, many fans expressed disappointment and concern after Lil Wayne canceled that city’s tour stop less than 24 hours before his show. Of course, many took to social media to complain about the change, and rightfully so considering the Young Money boss’ status and hype around this trek. Still, it also got a lot of fans concerned for his health or other behind-the-scenes happenings that could’ve impeded the tour. Even with that scare in mind, he said he would reschedule and everything seems to be going swimmingly so far.

Lil Wayne Breaks It Down Live

Meanwhile, this almost feels like a new era for the 40-year-old, in a way that’s different to his past modern album cycles. Through touring, excellent features (although that’s never been a surprise), and impactful singles, Tunechi is more respected and beloved than ever. In fact, Lil Wayne just joined the upper echelon of MCs who surpassed 25 billion streams on Spotify. While some of his post-2000s work fell under scrutiny, the “BM J.R.” star is still an incredibly popular artist.

In addition, he’s also revisited some iconic moments throughout his career thanks to this run of live shows. For example, him and Cam’ron solidified the Young Money/Dipset alliance when they performed “Touch It Or Not” live for the first time ever. Weezy’s catalog is the gold mine that keeps on giving, and he continues to add bars to that repertoire. For more updates on Lil Wayne and the latest news on his movement, stay logged into HNHH.

Chance The Rapper’s Wife Appears To Speak Out

by

Chance The Rapper recently caused a lot of conversation when a video surfaced of him dancing with another woman at a Jamaican festival. Not only that, but people seemed most taken aback by the suggestive nature of their moves, as the woman grinded on him. Of course, every couple will handle those situations differently, but that didn’t stop people from giving their two cents. However, after that video went viral and prompted debate in the comments sections, the Chicago rapper’s wife seemingly responded. Kirsten Corley-Bennett posted a quote from Maya Angelou on Instagram and reposted an inspirational quote on her Instagram story.

“Wherever I go, grace will beat me to it, meet me in it, turn it around, and make it a miracle,” the IG Story read. Before that came a screenshot post of the Angelou quote, and she wrote “I hope one day, we all choose to grow up” as the caption. “Oh my God, I’ve lived a very simple life!” the paragraph begins. “You can say, Oh yes, at thirteen this happened to me and at fourteen… But those are facts. But the facts can obscure the truth, what it really felt like. Every human being has paid the earth to grow up.”

Chance The Rapper’s Wife Seems To Address His Dance

Moreover, she highlighted this next part of the text, which is what is really making people connect it to the video. “Most people don’t grow up. It’s too damn difficult. What happens is most people get older. That’s the truth of it. They honor their credit cards, they find parking spaces, they marry, the have the nerve to have children, but they don’t grow up. Not really. They get older. But to grow up costs the earth, the earth. It manes you take responsibility for the time you take up, for the space you occupy. It’s serious business. And you find out what it costs us to love and to lose, to dare and to fail. And maybe even more, to succeed.

“What it costs, in truth,” the messages concluded. “Not superficial costs- anybody can have that- I mean in truth.” Given that this quote could be interpreted many different ways, perhaps this isn’t the bombshell response that many expected. Still, from what we can gather, maybe people looking for that have some growing up to do, as well. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Chance The Rapper.
