Kevin Gates Talks Splitting Finances, Calls Wealth “Of The Heart” His Priority

Rapper Kevin Gates recently took to Instagram to share his thoughts surrounding splitting finances in relationships. In the Instagram Live hosted by Gates, a viewer asked to hear his thoughts on her “going 50/50 with [her] man.” Gates responded by sharing his personal experience, saying that he has been with a woman who was able to provide him with something money can’t buy.

The rapper begins, “I have been in a relationship where the woman provided me intangible wealth.” He elaborated, saying there “was no amount of money that could pay for” what she gave him. “[The woman] did everything to make [his life] peaceful and it motivated [him] and allowed [him] to focus and make more money,” Gates explained. About the relationship, he says “50/50 wasn’t half of the rent, but she provided a place of peace to me in order to reach my highest potential.” He cites, “different types of wealth,” saying he doesn’t “look at wealth as something that’s of the pocket.” The rapper claims he looks at it instead as “of the heart and of the mind.”

In April, Gates also shared in an interview that he prefers hunting for his own meat over buying it at the grocery store. He added that his love for hunting is also good for his mental health. “It takes pure focus. It’s almost like meditation,” the rapper shared. He added, “You got to be in sync with it.” Gates then went on to explain his appreciation and respect for the animals he hunts. “I know I’m not going to get instant results,” he shares. “I know I got to put work in… to cultivate it and develop it.”

Blueface Shuts Down Rubi Rose’s Dating Philosophy: “The Bible Says Men Should Never Chase Women”

Rubi Rose is arguably one of the most lusted-after female figures in the music industry right now, but that doesn’t mean she’s any luckier in love than the average Jill. The Kentucky native has previously been linked to plenty of fellow rappers, including Travis Scott, Playboi Carti, 21 Savage, Soulja Boy, Lil Yachty, Lil Tjay, and the late Takeoff. She also famously spent time with DDG, and even recently exposed the “Elon Musk” artist for DMing her while allegedly arguing with his current girlfriend, Halle Bailey.

More recently, rumour has it that Rubi is getting to know French Montana. The duo went out for dinner at Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills back in March, but haven’t officially confirmed anything or made headlines since then. More recently, the 25-year-old used her Twitter platform to share some thoughts about modern dating, seemingly hinting that she hasn’t been getting the treatment she desires from men. “I feel like the man is supposed to pursue the woman,” Rubi vented in a post from this past weekend.

Rubi Rose Shares Her Thoughts on Modern Dating

“[I don’t] text/call guys first, ever,” she went on to add, before clarifying, “Unless it’s my man and we locked in. Am I childish or that’s how it’s supposed to be?” In response to this, plenty of followers wrote back with their take on Rubi’s inquiry. “It’s childish,” one user confirmed. “You have to project what you want to receive. It’s not about gender roles or power trips, no one is going to pursue anyone who comes off like they’re not into it or don’t need anybody.” Rather than getting defensive, the “Pretty MF” artist replied, “I like this take.”

Elsewhere, Blueface also joined in on the conversation, though his message was far less positive. “That’s because she never seen a Bible, Lord bless her heart,” the Californian wrote in response to a repost of Rubi’s message. On his own profile, he later added, “The Bible says men should never chase women” before launching into a lengthy rant both praising his first baby mama, Jaidyn Alexis, and subliminally bashing his soon-to-be second, Chrisean Rock.

Elon Musk Is Considering A Twitter Dating App

Elon Musk shared his response to a tweet suggesting a dating feature be added to his newly-acquired social media platform, Twitter. When content creator Steven Mark Ryan of the Youtube channel Solving The Money Problem shared a Tweet suggesting the new feature, Musk quickly replied. The tech mogul called the idea “interesting,” adding that the feature could potentially lead to “jobs too.” Ryan’s tweet called for Musk to consider the feature’s potential, claiming it “Might actually save humanity from extinction.” The YouTuber’s tweet also called the idea “Very low hanging fruit,” adding, “Twinder would be HUGE.”

Ryan offered to “make an entire video on how this opt-in app would work and why it would be 10x better than conventional dating apps.” He also called Twitter “the EVERYTHING app.” The content creator’s tweet came as a reply to Musk’s tweet expressing concern for “population collapse.” Musk’s expression of concern for a population crisis comes after he already made public claims that he believes “a collapsing birth rate is the biggest danger civilization faces by far.”

Musk Adding Features To Twitter

Since acquiring Twitter in 2022, he made changes to the platform’s verification process. Now, users can pay to become verified on Twitter, which many users feel is counterintuitive. The change in the site’s verification feature has also led to various public figures having blue checkmarks removed from their profiles. Moreover, several public figures have spoken out about Musk’s decision to change the feature. Artists like Doja Cat, Lil Nas X and more have expressed annoyance for their verification being taken away unjustifiably.

Musk continually faces a great amount of backlash for the changes he made to the platform thus far. The billionaire has also shared his plans to add new features to the platform, including voice and video calling features. Additionally, Musk has revealed that Twitter is working towards adding payment features to Twitter. Let us know what you think of this potential idea, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the tech world. We will always keep you informed.

Ne-Yo Says He’s Down To Date Fans

Ne-Yo is no stranger to the struggles of finding that special someone. While his glaringly public divorce from ex-wife Crystal Renay is final, the R&B singer has found solace in the single life. TMZ recently caught up with Ne-Yo at LAX and asked him about his current love life. Ne-Yo told the gossip blog that he’s in a happy place these days. Additionally, the singer says it’s all about the single life right now and flying free as a bird.

Ne-Yo continued to give some more dating advice as he was walking through the LA airport. Accordingly, Ne-Yo expressed that being single has been an enjoyable experience so far. Not only that, the R&B star noted he has quite a few dating options. That does happen to come with the territory. He said he’s “moving around,” and not exclusive to one person currently. It appears Ne-Yo has done some healing since his messy divorce has finalized.

Ne-Yo Prefers Normal People

Later in the interview, the singer mentioned that his DMs have been flooded since his dating status has been revealed. Ne-Yo said they’re all potential girlfriends, and admitted that he wasn’t opposed to dating a fan. When asked if would he date a fan the “Miss Independent” singer said, “Yeah, man, that part don’t matter to me, fame don’t matter.” It’s good to see the man is down to Earth when it comes to choosing a potential partner. Looks like there’s hope for Ne-Yo fans everywhere. Lastly the gossip blog asked if the singer cared about dating someone of similar status.

Ne-Yo told the publication, “I don’t even trip off things like that.” Not only that he also shared that most celebrities are “weirdos” (who would’ve guessed?). “We’re weirdos, so I like normal people,” the singer said. “I normally just go for regular people,” Ne-Yo told the paparazzi. Since being out of his marriage, along with his current relations with his baby mama/girlfriend Sade, some normalcy doesn’t sound so bad for the R&B star. Now that the cat is out of the bag, are you rushing to Ne-Yo’s DMs? What do you think of celebrities that like to date fans? Let the HNHH crew know in the comments section below!
