Doja Cat’s Brother Denies Accusations, Claims Family Hasn’t Spoken To Him In Years

by

Doja Cat’s brother has apparently responded to the shocking news that his mother filed for a temporary restraining order against him for alleged abuse. Moreover, The Shade Room acquired video of someone seemingly running into him on the street and asking him about these accusations. Then, Raman Dalithando Dlamini posited that there is no restraining order against him, contrary to what many reports have indicated from legal documents. In addition, he outright denied ever abusing his mother or his sister, who did not escape mention in this alleged filing. Specifically, in these allegations, Raman is accused of punching her teeth out, causing cuts and bruises, and suffering property destruction and theft.

Furthermore, the “JEEZU” rapper’s mother (Deborah Elizabeth Sawyer) reportedly got a temporary restraining order from a judge after she accused Raman of physical and verbal abuse over the past year, as recently as earlier this month. But he retorted that there is no restraining order, and that he’s not in touch with either her or Doja Cat. When approached by paparazzi on Thursday (January 18), he initially denied being her brother before telling them, “No comment.” Eventually, he denied the existence of the filing and spoke on the alleged distance between him and his family.

Not only that, but Sawyer also included details of his alleged verbal abuse against the Coachella 2024 headliner, labeling it “very degrading and demeaning.” She said that it’s left her daughter feeling “unsafe and traumatized,” but a judge didn’t include any more details about Doja Cat and maintained that she would have to file herself to continue. Now, the family awaits a hearing on a permanent restraining order. The superstar artist hasn’t commented on this situation at press time.

Meanwhile, it’s unclear whether this case will develop further or if this temporary restraining order is where things turn around. Given the conflicting narratives at play here, it’s very hard to say whether the truth will come out eventually. We’ll see what the future holds for the “Woman” hitmaker. On that note, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Doja Cat.

Sada Baby’s DJ Akademiks Beef Has Nothing To Do With Him, The Rapper Explains

by

One of DJ Akademiks’ many rap beefs this year was with Sada Baby, which happened after he got into it with someone from the rapper’s entourage. However, it seems like things aren’t actually that personal or contentious, and those words are from Yada himself. Moreover, he recently spoke to Adam22 of No Jumper, who was under the impression that he and Ak had a run-in or inciting incident of sorts. Then, the Detroit MC went on to explain that this was completely based on one of his friends’ bombast, and that the media personality shouldn’t be mad at him for something he never did.

Furthermroe, this is quite notable because Sada Baby fortunately squashed a lot of his rap feuds over the past few years. As such, you know that when he is looking for the smoke or dismissing it, he’s speaking from a knowledgeable and more healed place. For example, the Skuba Sada artist mended his relationship with Doe Boy earlier this year, which was great for hip-hop to witness. Hopefully even more people take cues from this behavior and think about what petty situations are really worth engaging in.

Still, we can’t give the 31-year-old all the credit when it comes to this beef-squashing, because there are other important players here. One of them actually shows up in this No Jumper interview: he mentions that the person that Akademiks is beefing with was, at that moment, with Skilla Baby. For those unaware, Skilla was instrumental in Tee Grizzley and Sada Baby leaving the past behind them and coming together by solving their grievances with one another. The result is a more unified scene in Detroit that is more able to support each other and develop individually without pressures of artificial loyalty.

Meanwhile, we’re sure that the former Everyday Struggle host will continue to catch hands within hip-hop. After all, it’s something that took his platform to new heights, and is a favorite pastime when it comes to rap fans aware of him. But Sada doesn’t want people thinking that he wants anything to do with it. For more news and the latest updates on DJ Akademiks and Sada Baby, keep checking in with HNHH.

Uncle Luke Grooming Allegations Are Completely Untrue, He Claims

by

Uncle Luke is the latest accused groomer in the industry, allegations of which stem from actress Gloria Valez. “If you don’t think grooming is happening in this business, you’re sadly mistaken,” she wrote earlier this week on her Instagram Story. “It’s started 1994 with Luke and a few others in this business. I was in high school.” Moreover, apparently Valez appeared in one of the Miami rapper’s music videos and faced a harrowing experience, and this opened up debate about this issue as a whole and who is to blame. Still, he denied any and all claims of this, and explained why he strove to never fall into that “trap.”

“I just learned what the f**k grooming mean,” Uncle Luke’s response began during an Instagram Live session. “I don’t even know what the f***ing grooming mean. Grooming, the f**k is grooming? They had to explain that s**t to me. Y’all got the right one. I don’t have no problem going to court. I’m not Russell Simmons.” Furthermore, he posited, “I’m not them other people.”

“I don’t do that, I know my brand,” Uncle Luke continued. “My brand is Luke, ‘Hey, we want some p***y.’ ‘Face down, a** up, that’s what make n***as like me so horny.’ The problem is when you know your brand and you know what you’re singing about, you subject yourself to be in that kind of trap faster. So what you have to do is really not be about what those songs is talking about because you can get yourself jammed up.

“I video everything, I video everything,” he concluded. “Everybody sign releases. I do shows. Ain’t no underage people be doing no show with me. I fire girls. You get caught, um, I have chaperone for the girls, one head dancer, it’s always one head dancer. And she put everybody in check. This is not a traveling wh*rehouse. So if you gonna mess around with these other artists, you’re gonna get sent home, sweetheart. You get fired.” Meanwhile, for more news and the latest updates on Uncle Luke, stick around on HNHH.

Diddy Called Mopreme Shakur To Deny Murdering 2Pac, His Brother Claims

by

Mopreme Shakur’s recent interview with The Art Of Dialogue points to an interesting confession tied to his brother Tupac’s murder. Moreover, he spoke on rumors that Diddy had something to do with it, which he’s addressed and fed into before. In fact, it seems like during plenty of interviews with Keefe D (the case’s main murder suspect), he brought up the Bad Boy mogul’s name quite often. However, at least based on Mopreme’s experience, he’s been defending his innocence for years. Furthermore, the rapper told the outlet of how Sean Combs called him in the early 2000s to deny his involvement.

“The boy Puffy called me, though,” Mopreme Shakur’s words on Diddy began. “Puffy called me back in the day. ‘I just want you to know I ain’t have nothing to do with your brother. I know who you are but we never met, I just wanted to call you. Man to man, tell you that, you know, that I had nothing to do with your brother’s death.’ Now why was he calling me, reaching out to me? Because The LA Times had just dropped, in the early 2000s, an article in the newspaper implicating him as well. I told him I appreciate the call, but the truth is yet to come out, so we gon’ see.

Mopreme Shakur Recalls Diddy Defending Himself

“Well, I think him and ‘Cease was on the radio out here,” Mopreme Shakur continued. “Big Boy, shout out to Big Boy. He hit me up and was like, ‘Yo, man, you know Puffy didn’t want to talk to you about the whole situation with your brother.’ Especially back then, I wanted all the information I could get. I heard what he said, but this s**t been so chaotic, I ain’t know which way to go until you gather more information. Yeah man, you know, he could’ve been trying to cover his a**, or he could’ve been sincere. We gon’ see.

“You know, you got people like Kading,” he went on. “[He’s] out doing interviews. It be feeling like he got sympathy for Puffy because he was scared. Yeah, he was scared, yes, I agree. I do agree that he was probably terrified for his life. So if that is the case, it’s also quite feasible that he put up money to get ‘Pac killed. You know what I mean? That’s weird. We gon’ see, time will tell. On top of it, he had his own problems with Suge, before ‘Pac. I get it, you should be scared, n***a. Like I said, ‘Pac would’ve boxed him ‘Pac would’ve loved to beat his a** in the ring, raise some money, and give it to the hood. It ain’t have to be like this.” For more news on Tupac, Mopreme Shakur, and Diddy, come back to HNHH.

Hitmaka Addresses Tink’s Claims

by

Hitmaka recently came through on Instagram Live with a response to Tink’s allegations against him. While they’re vague and unclear, they seem to revolve around a dwindling collaborative relationship soured by money talk and a physical altercation that they had in the car or in the club. In his remarks, the producer said that he’s going to “stand on being real” and won’t put any alleged footage of the incident out. “I don’t even know what that girl talking about,” he stated before saying that it’s his birthday and that she might be in Cancun. Not only that, but Berg said that he hasn’t talked to the rapper in about ten months.

Furthermore, Hitmaka said that he won’t get into details, but that he will call his lawyer because someone violated him. It’s unclear if he’s specifically accusing Tink of this, although he suggests as much by saying he has video evidence of her putting her hands on him. Still, the Chicago beatsmith said that he’s not trying to “talk down” on her and still has “mad love.” However, it’s a bit of a mixed message, as he called it a “bad move that was made by her.”

Hitmaka’s Response To Tink

“She gonna have to pay,” Hitmaka expressed during his livestream, adding that he hasn’t done anything to Tink to warrant this. Also, he referred to another girl that’s involved in this situation, and claimed that this isn’t the first time that something like this has happened. Of course, it’s important to note that Tink made similar comments about this being a recurring problem, and that people warned her about working with him. As such, it’s still a very gray and rumor-driven feud going on right now, and we’ll see if it resolves.

Meanwhile, it’s sad to see animosity like this prop up with two artists from the same city. In fact, they were so close at one point that they even had to address relationship rumors. We’ll see if this conflict sees a resolution or if it’s a full fallout. With that in mind, keep checking in with HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Tink and Hitmaka.

Joe Biden Administration Denies Laughing At Fentanyl Victims’ Mother, Twitter Reacts

by

As a man who’s spent more time in the White House than most others, Joe Biden is no stranger to the countless feuds that make place in the world of politics. Over two years into his presidency, the Pennsylvania native has been reflecting on what he’s accomplished so far, as well as what he’s got planned for the future (including another potential run). Unfortunately for him, he’s facing some seriously unflattering press at the moment thanks to Marjorie Taylor Greene.

As The Independent reports, Biden was earlier falsely blamed for the opioid overdoses of brothers Kyler and Caleb Kiessling, sons of pro-life activist Rebecca Kiessling. Earlier this week, Greene claimed that the sitting president is responsible for the young men’s passing, though it was actually during the Trump administration when they lost their lives. “I’ve read she was very specific recently saying that a mom, a poor mother who lost two kids to fentanyl, that I killed her sons,” the politician said during an event in Baltimore on Wednesday (March 1).

“[Biden’s] Words are Being Mischaracterized,” White House Says

“Well, the interesting thing: that fentanyl they took came during the last administration,” he also told the crowd, letting out a chuckle. It was the laugh that seems to have upset Kiessling and many others, who feel as though President Biden is making light of the mother’s immense loss. Criticism has obviously been constantly pouring in across social media all week long. In response, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre addressed the media, explaining POTUS’ view of the situation.

She began, “When it comes to this president, I believe the American people knows who he is. They have watched him go through grief. He expressed sympathy for her last night. And his heart goes out to any person, any person who has to go through that type of trauma, that type of hurt.” According to Jean-Pierre, Biden’s words are being “mischaracterized by someone who is regularly discredited for things that she says that are really conspiracy theories.”

Twitter Reacts to the Situation

The press secretary didn’t explicitly say that Joe Biden feels any remorse or guilt for laughing, though many on Twitter are vocally demanding that Kiessling receive one from him ASAP. “What’s funny about Americans dying from fentanyl, Joe? The families who have lost loved ones from fentanyl aren’t laughing,” Greene asked him after he corrected her accusations earlier this week. Keep scrolling for more social media reactions, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

GloRilla Denies Pregnancy Rumors

by

Memphis star GloRilla turned some heads in the media after pregnancy rumors started to swirl online, and to say she denies them is one thing. Moreover, she dispelled rumors in a pretty strong way that had fans and users either laughing or confused. Most recently, she dropped a new track with Gloss Up titled “BestFrenn” where she puts her bestie above her boo.

Furthermore, the 23-year-old rapper took to the Meta comments, of all places, to say that she’s not carrying a baby. Her exact words, however, had fans quaking.

“Now why am I trending ?????” she asked on Facebook. “Don’t forget I blocks tf outta people [laughing emojis] don’t get blocked for 4 laughs.” It seems she was taking aim at people making jokes about her trending status in the comments. After all, she has a lot to be trending for. Just a couple of days ago, she tributed the late Gangsta Boo at her funeral with some inspiring words about her legacy.

Also, she just dropped “On Wat U On” with fellow Memphis magnate Moneybagg Yo, a track that they’re both feeling very stoked on. Regardless of all her success that people might’ve referenced on the Metaverse, eventually Glo caught up. Eventually, she responded in the comments.

“And y’all slow af I was jp in dat picture,” she wrote, referencing a picture of her that floated around with pregnancy rumors. “Nobody knew when I actually was pregnant until it was gone [laughing and peace sign emoji].”

After she dropped that bomb, a lot of people responded with hilarity, even if some were incredulous. “Every week she out does the last ‘WTF she say’ comment,” wrote one user. However, most of them were just goofing off. “Nah cause she really be in the Meta comments,” someone wrote, with another Instagram commenter adding “She is just funny by accident.”

What do you think of GloRilla denying pregnancy rumors in a pretty funny way? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, come back to HNHH for more gossip and funny interactions in the rap game.

by

Over the years, there have been plenty of women with claims of being intimate with Drake. The internet is a wild space for sharing tales involving encounters with celebrities. At every turn, you can find an everyday person who alleges they had some eventful time with one of our favorite stars. This week, a TikToker went viral with her story about Drake, but the rapper has emerged to shut it down.

A woman claimed that Drizzy “flew [her] out” after seeing that she tagged him in a sexy photo on Instagram. “So, he had texted me in vanish mode,” she said. According to the woman, Drake asked for her phone number and dropped the “heart eyes emoji.”

She said she got on the phone with the Her Loss hitmaker, and he made it clear that he wanted to see her.

“So, he had booked my flight for November 16. Mind y’all, we textin’, talkin’, all of that, November 13,” she alleged. “He had sent a private [jet] out to get me. But before I got inside his house, they made me sign an NDA. So, I can’t really say too much, but I looked at my NDA rules, so I know what I can and can’t say.”

The story takes all sorts of twists and turns from this point forward. The storyteller said Drake rubbed her stomach and asked if she wanted children. After detailing an alleged sexual experience, the woman’s video went viral, and she became the talk of social media.

Typically, we’ve found that Drake often ignores the mania in these cases. However, he decided to step forward with a flat-out denial.

The rapper wrote, “Never met. Never spoke. Never flew.” He added, “I hope people start doing more with the one life we are given sh*t is sad out here.”

Meanwhile, social media users noticed the woman’s original video has been taken down. It doesn’t look like she’s reacted to gaining Drake’s attention just yet. The woman doesn’t seem to like that Akademiks shaded her on Instagram. Check that out below.

Rae Sremmurd Reflects On The ‘Denial’ Aspect Of Love In Their New Video

by

Love isn’t easy. Sometimes one partner is too sure while the other lacks the certainty and confidence to commit to the risk of giving their heart over to someone else. Rae Sremmurd, in their first release ahead of their upcoming album Sremm4life, takes this topic head-on with their new video “Denial.”

The visual is set with Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi performing the record on a beach in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. In some scenes, there are beautiful women either at their side or posing in front of a window as the sun illuminates their skin. The two get their own time to get some fun poses in as well. A certain staircase should look very familiar, as it is the same one Snoop Dogg and Pharrell sat on in the classic “Beautiful” video.

While Swae Lee has been relatively active since Rae Sremmurd’s last release, 2018’s Sr3mm, Slxm Jimmi and the duo as a whole have taken a significant hiatus. There were previous rumors that they were going to split up, but the announcement that Sremmlife4 silenced all of those. Rae Sremmurd hit the ground running upon their debut with LPs Sremmlife and Sremmlife 2, so there is much anticipation for what is to come in this next chapter.

Check out the video for “Denial” above.
