Nicki Minaj brought out Big Sean in his hometown of Detroit over the weekend while she performed on her Pink Friday 2 World Tour. While on stage together, the two performed their 2011 hit collaboration, “Dance (A$$) Remix,” among other tracks.
Afterward, Sean thanked Nicki for the opportunity in a video on social media. “That show was crazy,” he began. “I appreciate her bringing me out, doing our slaps. She gave me a whole set for real which was fun for the whole city. It’s been a minute. I’ma be back performing too for the NFL Draft. If you in Detroit, f*ck with me… Shout out to the Barbz. Shout out to everybody who was at gag city tonight, Little Caesars Arena. It was fun, dog. I’ll see y’all soon.”

Despite the fun night, it’s been a bit of a rocky road for Minaj on the Pink Friday 2 World Tour in recent days. While trying to get into Canada for a show in Montreal, she ran into difficulties getting through the border. She ended up being three hours late for the concert and thanked Drake for helping her make it at all. “Drizzy he made a couple calls for me,” she wrote on her Instagram Story. She brought out Drake during her performance in Toronto.

A Detroit teacher who refers to herself as Ms. Brown and goes by the rap name, Drippin Honey, has been fired for her music career. Drippin Honey explained in a viral TikTok that a parent of one of her students wasn’t happy about her song “Drippin 101.”
“Recently, I was forced to leave my position due to me being a Rapper,” Drippin Honey wrote. “A single parent’s disapproval led to my dismissal.

Police in Detroit have praised former third-overall NFL pick Braylon Edwards for intervening in an attempted murder at a YCMA. Edwards was in the locker room last Friday when he heard an elderly man arguing with several younger men about their music. After the altercation turned physical, Edwards stepped in. “And then I see the guy for what I was thinking was reaching for a phone underneath the victim grabs the back of the victim’s head by the hair. And he was about to slam it down on the counter,” Edwards told local media.
Speaking after officers arrived at the scene, Framingham Hills police chief Jeff King said that Edwards “absolutely” saved the man’s life. A 20-year-old man has been charged with attempted murder as a result of the incident. When asked why he intervened, Edwards said “That’s just what you do.” Edwards played eight years in the NFL and is a beloved alum of Michigan.

Elsewhere, the Ravens’ Mark Andrew was also credited with saving a life recently. During a flight from Baltimore to Phoenix, an unidentified woman suffered a medical emergency and became unresponsive. As onboard medical personnel feared the worst, unable to find a consistent pulse, Andrews offered the use of his diabetes testing kit. With the use of the kit, flight staff were able to stabilize the woman’s heart until the flight could land. The was first made public by Baltimore resident Andrew Springs, who was also on the flight.
However, Andrews has waived off any hero labels for himself. “In addition to the fast-acting flight attendants, the real heroes are the nurse and doctor who also happened to be on the flight. Thankfully they were able to provide the woman the quick assistance she needed,” Andrews said via a statement released by the Ravens.
Skilla Baby is part of an event this Saturday (February 24) at The Icon in Detroit that is an incredible initiative from a visible entertainment figure. Moreover, he partnered with the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence to host a gun buy back event for folks to receive hundreds of dollars for ridding themselves of their firearms. Not only that, but the “Plate” rapper also worked with local city officials to put this together. The event will also host a job fair for folks with a felony history, record expungement services (with applications here), and driver’s license restoration reviews.
“This Saturday I partnered with Judge Yancey And council President Sheffield to do a Gun Buy Back / Job Fair/ Record Expungement…” Skilla Baby captioned an Instagram post announcing the event. “THIS WILL NOT BE THE LAST ONE EITHER WE WILL TRY TO GET AS MANY GUNS OFF THE STREETS AND CLEAN AS MANY RECORDS AS POSSIBLE EVERY YEAR IF ITS UP TO ME…. DETROIT VS EVERYBODY. BIG THANK YOU TO JUDGE YANCEY AND COUNCIL PRESIDENT FOR SUPPORTING ME AND HELPING MAKE THIS COME TOGETHER. meet us @ THE ICON this Saturday @marysheffield @repyancey.”
“We know the power of joining forces with a city, with influencers, with these icons,” Hannah Jones of the Brady Center told the Detroit Free Press of Skilla Baby’s efforts. “That’s how we got together. But it started with his vision, and he knew, and his folks knew, that we focused on safe storage.” “I know with my influence, I can urge people to clean their records, get jobs and get guns off the street,” the “Morant” lyricist added. “In the future, I want to do gun safety classes, fun stuff like that.”
While being a rapper brings a lot of fun perks, like walking Devin Haney out for a fight, it also brings responsibilities. It’s great to see folks recognizing their influence, their leadership potential, and using that to help those in less fortunate situations. Initiatives like this save lives, and hopefully this inspires more movements in other cities and hip-hop scenes. On that note, keep checking in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Skilla Baby.
The popular food critic, Mr. ChimeTime, has labeled Eminem’s Mom’s Spaghetti “the WORST restaurant in Detroit.” Reviewing the restaurant for his nearly 600,000 thousand YouTube subscribers, ChimeTime listed several grievances with the menu options.
“This is by far the worst spaghetti that I have ever had in my entire life of eating spaghetti,” he said in the video. “When I tasted this, it kinda reminds me of middle school cafeteria meat. But I’ma keep it 100 with you, middle school cafeteria meat is better than this bullsh*t. When you get the spaghetti, they just throw it in a bag. And not to mention, the container is open. So, spaghetti is flopping all over the goddamn cup. Number two: it’s cold as f*ck. The sauce is by far the blandest upper-mid sauce that I’ve ever had in any spaghetti. They say it’s powdered Parmesan on this. Why in the hell are we using this low-grade, tasteless, cheap sh*t? Can we get some real Parmesan cheese, please? Now, on the flip side of that, if your goal is to overcharge for low-quality…spaghetti, congratulations… because you did just that.”

Eminem opened the doors to Mom’s Spaghetti back in September 2021. In doing so, he served patrons of the restaurant, which gets its name from the rapper’s 2002 single “Lose Yourself.” In addition to serving traditional spaghetti with meatball options, the Detroit location also offers a “s’ghetti sandwich.” On the aforementioned hit song, Em raps, “His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy/ There’s vomit on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti.”

Eminem may have just dropped a new song “Doomsday Pt. 2” with Lyrical Lemonade dissing Benzino and Coi Leray, but he recently hinted that he’s not done. Moreover, ahead of the Detroit Lions’ playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers, which will determine who will go to the Super Bowl this year, he gave a call to Shade 45‘s DJ Whoo Kid to talk about the occasion. Of course, the radio host couldn’t help but ask Marshall Mathers (or Slim Shady… we don’t know who was speaking) about what else he has in store for the year. To that, he said that he’s “working on a little something,” which once again reignited Stans everywhere’s excitement for a new album.
However, this is all speculative at press time, and artists say stuff like this all the time to keep fans engaged. In addition, Eminem is so legendary in the game that he doesn’t have to drop a project ever again… in fact, haters are begging him to do just that. But one thing he definitely doesn’t play with is his beloved Lions, who might make the Super Bowl for the first time in franchise history. The Detroit native expressed wishes to go to Nevada if they make it, spoke on Shade 45‘s 20-year anniversary in 2024, and threatened Lions coach Ben Johnson with a diss track if he leaves.
Eminem Speaks To DJ Whoo Kid On Shade 45 With New Music Tease: Listen
Still, that wasn’t the funniest thing that Marshall Mathers -– no, this was definitely Slim Shady -– did to show his love for his football team. A recent picture went viral from the playoff game between the Lions and the 49ers for a very special reason. In it, you can see Eminem flipping off a gaggle of San Francisco fans looking in his direction: two hands up, thumbs out, and middle fingers high in the sky. We can’t wait to see how long it takes for an underground NFL-loving rapper from the D to use this as cover art.
Jokes aside, it would be great to see what the 51-year-old would do with a new album this year. He praised the talents of J. Cole on “Doomsday Pt. 2,” so perhaps a collaboration is in the cards. Not only that, but whether the Lions win or not might impact his mood; at press time, they’re up 24-7 on the 49ers with seven seconds left in the second quarter. We’ll see what happens. Regardless, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Eminem.

In 2015, her remix of Tinashe’s song “2 On” and the subsequent release of her single “Run Me My Money” went viral. This was just the beginning. Kash Doll’s debut EP, The Vault, and her mixtape, Brat Mail further solidified her position in the industry.

Eminem previously made an offer to coach Dan Campbell to suit up for the team if they need him on Sunday. “Yo, Dan, I’m reporting. I’m going to report. Third quarter,” he joked in a video on Instagram, earlier in the week. “I’m reporting, offensive line, eligible receiver. I’ll be the quarterback, the entire line, (the) offensive line. And the receiver, I will throw it to myself and score a touchdown. In the third quarter. Just give me a uniform. Or at least just a helmet.” Check out a clip of his appearance at the game below.
With the win, the Lions advance to the NFC Championship game where they’ll take on the 49ers in San Francisco for an opportunity to play in the Super Bowl. On the other side of the country, the Baltimore Ravens and Kansas City Chiefs will face off to be their opponent.
