Fat Joe Weighs In On Men Rocking Painted Nails

by

In the past couple of years or so, fans have noticed a trend of their favorite male celebrities embracing their feminine sides, rocking things like dresses, purses, and of course, nail polish. Drake, NBA YoungBoy, Lil Baby, and many more have hopped on the trend. Unfortunately, this has resulted in some pushback from critics.

While many see no issue with men expressing themselves however they choose, others have been quick to call them out, arguing that it says something about their sexuality. According to Fat Joe, however, it’s nothing but a trend, and shouldn’t necessarily be treated as though it’s any deeper than that. He shared his thoughts during a chat with fans on Instagram Live earlier this week.

Fat Joe Says It’s Just Another Trend

“You’ve got guys who I don’t think are gay but they’re painting their nails or they’re walking with Birkin bags, you know?” he began. “Unfortunately, it’s sad. You know you have originators, and then you have a lot of running with the swag or running with the style. So if Dipset was wearing the flyest clothes… Everybody was rocking the bandana, 2Pac was rocking the bandana… So it feels like it’s been a new trend, a new swag, a new style. Paint your nails, use a bag, wear a dress.“

“The toughest one, my man’s on RICO,” he continued. “Young Thug was wearing the skirts and this and this and that. He’s the toughest, so it’s safe to say it’s a fad. It’s a trend, and guys are like […] ‘I’m gonna go viral?’” What do you think of Fat Joe’s take on men wearing nail polish? Do you agree with him or not? Are you a fan of the trend of male rappers rocking painted nails, dresses, and more? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Ice Spice’s Android Sparks Fierce Debate, Backlash From iPhone Users

by

It’s no secret that Ice Spice is killing it these days, impressing her fans with her Coachella performances this month and gearing up to drop her new album, Y2K. While the Bronx-born baddie isn’t dropping new music or showing off her moves onstage, she frequently gives fans a glimpse at her life on social media. Recently, however, a simple mirror selfie was received poorly by some of her followers due to the fact that she took it using an Android.

“Ice spice having an android is so turnoff,” one Twitter/X user wrote yesterday, sparking a major debate. Now, other users are weighing in on the femcee’s device of choice. While some agree that she should get an iPhone, others are coming to her defense.

Ice Spice’s Android Is A “Turn Off,” Some Fans Argue

Most agree that no longer liking Ice Spice only because she uses an Android is just silly. Interestingly enough, it appears as though she actually has an iPhone too. In several of her Instagram posts, she’s seen holding it, so she may alternate between devices. Either way, a lot of commenters aren’t happy, and luckily it’s mostly due to the backlash she’s receiving.

“Ice Spice is viral all because she has an ANDROID?!?!?! You mfs really need to reevaluate life lmao that’s ins*ne,” one Twitter/X user writes. “Why do people actually care what kind of phones people have??” another wonders. She’s yet to address the backlash surrounding her Android phone selfie.

Ice Spice Fans Defend Her Amid Android Outrage

Lil Uzi Vert’s Bold Coachella Performance Has Social Media Users Split

by

Lil Uzi Vert is certainly no stranger to turning heads, and their latest appearance at Coachella was no exception. Yesterday, the hitmaker graced the stage at the California music fest, delivering hit after hit in a showstopping red fit. They rocked a bright red crop top with dramatic shoulder accents, which they paired with a pair of matching pants, red sneakers, and a Kelly Birkin bag. Unfortunately, however, not everyone was a fan. Countless social media users are weighing in on the bold look, and performance as a whole, and many aren’t feeling it.

Of course, much of this is due to the fact that Uzi’s look and onstage antics were a serious departure from what fans have come to expect from most rappers. It’s clear that Uzi’s feeling themself as of late, and is growing increasingly comfortable expressing themself to the fullest extent.

While many commenters are mostly concerned with Uzi’s outfit, others are outraged by some of their suggestive dance moves. At one point in the set, they dropped down to the floor and began humping the air. They’re facing similar criticism to that they received for last weekend’s set when they vogued onstage.

Luckily, several of Uzi’s fans are coming to their defense, and think the show was incredible. “What is Lil Uzi Vert doing at Coachella man we want 2016 Uzi back,” one critical Twitter/X user says of their performance. A supporter writes, “[THEY] SUCH A BADDIE.”

Jayda Cheaves’ No Makeup Selfie Sparks Debate, She Fires Back

by

It’s no secret that the beauty standard only continues to increase, and recently, social media users have sparked another debate with their outrageous reactions to a photo of Jayda Cheaves. In the photo, the Savannah-born baddie is seen posing with a fan outside of a nail salon, looking laid back and all-natural. She wore little to no makeup and a casual fit with her hair slicked back.

While the personality obviously looks different than she would with a full beat, the photo has prompted outrage among some commenters, who think her look was less than impressive. “Def unfollowed jayda cus waydaf*cking minute,” one critical Twitter/X user writes. “I’m sorry but Jayda look ugly on this lmao,” another claims.

Jayda Cheaves Addresses Backlash From Natural Photo

Luckily, plenty of Cheaves’ fans are out in full force defending her, noting that the personality looks great with and without makeup on, and those who think otherwise should just keep their opinions to themselves. “If yall think jayda look a mess yall dont wana see me on a bad day,” one Twitter/X user jokes. “The Jayda hate is weird she looked regular like yaw dragging,” another says. Amid all of the chatter, Jayda decided to hop online to come to her own defense earlier today, revealing that she has no plans of letting hate stand in her way.

“I am not letting no acne or hyperpigmentation stop me from taking pics and being outside FULLY natural. Idc! Idc! Never did never will .. yall gon take me however I am. Because all yall being funny KNOW what it give. Love yall,” she wrote in The Shade Room‘s comments section. What do you think of Jayda Cheaves’ natural look?

Nelly Performs For Near-Empty Stadium, But Some Fans Claim It Wasn’t An Actual Concert

by

If you take a look at the Instagram clip below, you’ll see Nelly performing for a small crowd in the general admission area, but for a virtually empty stadium. While a lot of folks are running with the narrative that Ashanti’s boo just failed to sell barely any tickets to his show, some folks in the comments of the post below pointed out that this might be a soundcheck. “I hate when people try to embarrass people. That clearly looks like a sound check to me,” one fan wrote, whereas The Game, of all people, had another way of looking at this.

“Nothing to see here,” the rapper wrote in the comments section of the IG post below. “He got paid probably 60-100K to perform even if it was only one person there. Sometimes promoters drop the ball on promoting shows so it’s not on bruh. Enjoy ya Sunday.” Whether or not you think this is an actual performance or a prelude to it, folks are certainly far too quick to criticize celebrities when they don’t meet the grand standards that they, and fans, set for themselves. Either that or they have fun with pregnancy rumors, and Nelly is no stranger to either.

Furthermore, we wonder if this would’ve been a big issue back in the St. Louis MC’s heyday, a hip-hop era which he believes was the hardest to come up in. “Country Grammar was 5 million and I didn’t even get nominated as a Best New Artist because my album came out in 2000,” Nelly told The Shop. “So I wasn’t even on the ballot in 2001. The great, talented, well-deserving Alicia Keys won, and she should’ve won in 2001.

“You gotta understand, my era of music was the toughest era in hip-hop ever!” he continued. “When I put out songs, I had to go against DMX, Jay-Z, Eminem, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, and Ludacris. All of us are fighting for one spot. So from ’99 to 2008, 2010, it was the hardest era ever.” For more news and the latest updates on Nelly, stick around on HNHH.

Charlamagne Tha God Thinks Future Deserves A Spot In The Big Three

by

It’s no secret that Future has made his mark on the world of hip-hop, and according to Charlamagne Tha God, he may have even earned himself a spot in the big three. During a recent episode of his Brilliant Idiots podcast with Andrew Schulz, he weighed in on the viral feud between Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and J. Cole, praising the rapper for the influence he’s had on music over the past decade or so. He noted that there are now several artists making music similar to his, indicating how much of an impact he’s made.

“They talking about a Big Three but really there’s a Fantastic Four. If you really wanna get a little spicy, Future could be in the Big Three,” he explained. “For better or worse, I can find a million Future clones all around the world. I don’t think there’s any rapper that’s influenced culture and music more than Future over the last decade. I think Future has influence. People wanna be Future, people wanna sound like Future.”

Charlamagne then went on to highlight a few of Future’s latest feats. Most recently, for example, the hitmaker topped the charts with his collaborative album alongside Metro Boomin We Don’t Trust You. His Kendrick-assisted track on the album, “Like That,” also quickly went viral for igniting beef between Kendrick, Drake, and J. Cole. He also revealed who he thinks belongs in the big three, notably leaving out J. Cole entirely. “I would have Drake, Future, Kendrick, personally,” he shared, also adding “Statistically, if you’re talking about numbers and all of that, Future’s over Cole.”

What do you think of Charlamagne Tha God’s take on Future? What about him claiming that he’s one of the most influential rappers of the past decade? Do you agree with him or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Stephen A. Smith Reveals Why He Is Taking Drake Over Kendrick Lamar Amid Their Beef

by

Everyone is talking about Drake, Kendrick Lamar, and J. Cole right now, including Stephen A. Smith. Perhaps sports media’s biggest personality, the First Take icon has been chiming in and getting involved in this big three conversation ever since “Like That” dropped. He did a segment for it on his self-titled talk show where he expressed his excitement for the competition, as long as it does not result in violence. Now, Stephen A. is back with some more commentary on it, explaining why he is taking Drake over Kendrick.

He gave his patented “soliloquy” on the topic during his guest appearance on the hit podcast Drink Champs, according to Hollywood Unlocked. Overall, it is a pretty solid argument from Stephen A., with the main point being that Drake is always able to keep chugging. “I’m going to go with Drake because even though everybody knows Kendrick Lamar and how gifted he is you got too many people periodically trying to come at Drake and he’s always standing,” he says. “Like mainstream, globally he’s one of those dudes.”

Smith continues, “It could be the look, it could be how he communicates. It could be his flavor it could be anything, but Drake damn near seems impenetrable… I don’t hear too many people coming at Kendrick Lamar but everybody is always trying to come at Drake and obviously I can relate to that.” Some fans disagreed, saying that Drake gets targeted a lot because he is any easy target. Consequently, Kendrick is more impenetrable because hardly anyone steps to him. We saw how that worked out for J. Cole as of late, even though it was commendable.

What are your thoughts on Stephen A. taking Drake over Kendrick Lamar in a Drink Champs debate? Do you see the vision with his reasoning for taking him, why or why not? If Drake responds to Kendrick, how do you think that will end up? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Anthony Mackie’s “Rude” Fan Encounter Sparks Social Media Debate

by

Earlier this week, one disappointed fan took to social media to reflect on her experience meeting Anthony Mackie, and her story has brought about a major debate. The fan claims that she spotted the actor at a gas station in New Orleans, and eventually decided to approach him to compliment him for his work. Unfortunately, however, the conversation didn’t go as she had planned. According to her, as she walked up to him and began to speak, he put his hand up and said “No,” urging her to go away.

“Let me just say, rudest human being alive,” she began. “The f*cking celebrities make it seem like we’re f*cking roaches and rats… B*tch, I’m pumping… I’m at the same gas station as you, b*tch! Baby, we on the same level playing field! I’m pumping the same gas you pumping right now! And you can’t even look at me!”

Disappointed Fan Calls Out Anthony Mackie For Gas Station Encounter

While some social media users can empathize with the fan over the undoubtedly awkward exchange, others argue that Mackie has a right to speak to whomever he wants. Countless users are coming to his defense, insisting that he was simply trying to protect his peace. “Y’all are so bothered by boundaries and I aspire to be just like Anthony Mackie when it comes to my private time and space,” one Twitter/X commenter says.

Apparently, Mackie also has a track record of being less than excited to be approached in public. Some suggest that fans should have learned their lesson by now. “Anthony Mackie ate that I’m sorry,” another user writes. “If saying ‘no’ is someone being the rudest person alive… I have no hope for this world.”

Sauce Walka Doesn’t Think Making $100,000 Is Impressive Anymore

by

In a digital age where social media often serves as a platform for celebrities to voice their opinions, Houston rapper Sauce Walka recently sparked a conversation about wealth and financial status. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), he made a bold statement: “$100,000 feels like $10,000 nowadays… that is no longer #BallerStatus so keep working.” Moreover, this declaration quickly gained attention and ignited a debate among fans and followers. Some agreed with Sauce Walka’s sentiment, acknowledging the impact of inflation on the perceived value of money. Others, however, challenged his perspective, arguing that $100,000 is still a significant sum of money by any measure.

Moreover, one fan attempted to counter Sauce Walka’s assertion, stating, “You n-ggas gotta stop trying to spin this narrative. 100k is 100k.” To which Sauce Walka responded, doubling down on his stance: “Inflation is inflation you obviously don’t understand the economy and finances.” Furthermore, his subsequent comment suggested that true wealth transcends the mere accumulation of money. “If you can hold all your money with one hand that’s not no money,” he explained. “Start a business pay some bills start some businesses and you will see.” He did say that he made over $10M on OnlyFans. This could be a reason why he has the perception that he does.

Sauce Walka Shares His Idea Of Wealth

Sauce Walka’s perspective reflects a broader conversation about the evolving nature of wealth and success in contemporary society. In an era where material possessions and monetary figures often serve as markers of status, to some, that amount of money is not a lot anymore. Beyond the surface level of financial abundance, Sauce Walka advocates for a more holistic approach to wealth accumulation. He emphasizes the importance of financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and investment as pathways to sustainable prosperity. Rather than simply chasing after a high salary or a large bank account balance, he encourages individuals to explore avenues for generating passive income, building assets, and fostering long-term financial stability.

Moreover, Sauce Walka’s commentary underscores the socioeconomic disparities that persist in our society. While $100,000 may seem like a substantial sum to some, it pales in comparison to the wealth amassed by the ultra-rich. His words serve as a reminder of the widening wealth gap and the challenges faced by many in achieving financial security and upward mobility. Ultimately, Sauce Walka’s message serves as a call to action for personal and collective empowerment. It challenges us to reassess our notions of success and reevaluate our approach to wealth-building. In a world where financial resources are unequally distributed, his words resonate as a rallying cry for economic empowerment and social justice.

by

Finesse2Tymes has become as well-known for the controversies in his personal life as his actual music. That was the case again recently when a Facebook post sparked massive fan debate online. He starts the post off revealing that he recently has child protective services called on him. They were reportedly called by the mother of one of his artists King, who is just 11 years old. King’s mother apparently claims that she hasn’t seen him since being released from jail, but Finesse accuses her of just wanting money to support her “habits.”

He goes on to justify his choice of keeping the boy. “This young man lives in a million doller home . with his own everything . don’t have to worry about dodging bullets , or being hungry running around Memphis with grown men shooting dice that’ll actually HURT HIM for a few dollars , why would u even RISK that for your kid?” a post FInesse2tymes made reads. But as soon as most fans read his post, red flags started to appear. Check out some of the comments fans had about the situation below.

In the comments of a post recapping the situation, fans debate. Some see the situation very differently than the way Finesse explains it. “So do you have legal custody of him or you just keeping this kid at your house?” one fan asks. “So because he lives in a million dollar home that means that she can’t see her son? sounds suspicious. Fr fr” another agrees.

Additionally, the majority of the comments on the post definitely seem to take the mother’s side. Many question why the rapper felt he had the right to just take the child, despite the circumstances. What do you think of Finesse2Tymes getting CPS called on him by the mother of one of his artists? Do you think he’s in the right for keeping the child out of a dangerous area, or that he has no right to keep him away from his mother? Let us know in the comment section below.
