Loaded Lux Isn’t Dead, T-Rex Confirms After Death Rumors Go Viral

by

Despite a false rumor that spread like wildfire on Twitter after a Monday night report (March 18), Loaded Lux did not pass away like fans thought. For those unaware, fake news emerged on Monday evening that someone had murdered him, which led many fans to take to social media to express their shock, grief, and condolences. Fortunately, though, those close to the “Ain’t Gon’ Hold Ya” battle rapper were quick to dispel these rumors come Tuesday morning (March 19), although it was by the time he had become a Top Ten trending topic on Twitter. Chayna Ashley, for example, spoke to fellow Dot Mob member T-Rex, who is also his close friend.

“Lux is good! Just confirmed with Rex,” she revealed on Twitter on Monday night. T-Rex also took to Instagram to confirm this, sharing a “note” with his friends that “Bro is Good we just spoke” and that “Load still loading.” Another Loaded Lux affiliate, Un Kasa, also confirmed that his Harlem partner was alive. However, Kasa shed light on some dark context behind this rumor, as it was actually a family member of Lux who had been killed. As such, the DJ Premier collaborator is probably in a process of grief right now, and it must be odd, difficult, and heavy to reckon with rumors of your own passing on top of that.

Elsewhere, though, Loaded Lux made headlines recently for a more curious, unexpected, but nonetheless compelling interaction. For those unaware, he appeared on Chad “Ochocino” Johnson and Shannon Sharpe’s show Nightcap to call out the former’s criticisms of Ultimate Rap League stars (URL) and to confront him about his own pen skills. Ochocino actually went on URL afterwards and faced off against DNA and Charlie Clips, and people seemed to appreciate this crossover and appreciation. Maybe he will need to be a more frequent guest on URL, and vice versa for Lux on Nightcap.

Meanwhile, the “K.I.L.L.A.S.” MC will probably comment on Ocho’s performance again, and might open the door for more pop culture recognitions of battle rap. Our prayers and condolences go out to him, his loves one, and those of his fallen family member. Hopefully brighter days are ahead. For more news and updates on Loaded Lux, come back to HNHH.

'Drink Champs' Episode Featuring Kanye West Pulled From YouTube as N.O.R.E. Offers Apologies

Kanye West heard rumors of a return to “Old Ye” online and had a lot to say about it.

Earlier in the week, Erick Sermon stated he heard a “Y3” album from West, and it sounded like his old work.

Seeing the news, Ye hit the @YeFanactics Instagram page and called it “fake news.” You can read all of Kanye West’s messages below.

Cam’ron & Mase Weigh In On Fake Taylor Swift & Kanye West Super Bowl Story

by

Cam’ron and Mase are easily the best duo in sports media right now. Although some might say that title belongs to Shannon Sharpe and Stephen A. Smith, you cannot deny the power of It Is What It Is. These two continue to deliver incredible episodes and entertaining segments. Whenever they comment on something, you know it is going to be comedy. Overall, fans are quite fond of the show, and their following has only grown over time. If you love the rap duo, this is a great time for you.

That said, they had plenty to talk about following the Super Bowl. There was one report making the rounds yesterday which alleged how Taylor Swift had Kanye West kicked out of the big game. This news came from Brandon Marshall and it was met with skepticism. In fact, as we have already explained, the story was proven false by a source associated with Kanye West. Regardless, Cam and Mase speculated on what took place and even took sides. As Cam and Mase explained, they can easily see why Taylor would want Ye to be removed.

Cam’ron Gives His Take

“[He] tried to diss that young lady years ago, and she ain’t forget about it. She don’t want to be seen with you, let alone on the Super Bowl screen,” Cam’ron said. “That man got up there embarrassed Taylor Swift at them awards, tried to go Beyoncé crazy.” Later on, Cam’ron took Swift’s side, saying “If she makes a call and says ‘I’m leaving if he don’t get out of here,’ he got to go.” In the end, it is all a moot point as none of this ever happened.

That said, the Super Bowl itself was fantastic. We got an overtime game that made a lot of people happy. While 49ers fans are probably still reeling from the loss, Chiefs fans are over the moon. Let us know what you thought of the game, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports and music worlds.

Chrisean Rock Calls Cap On Home Relisting: “Me & The Owner Locked In”

by

People often seem to forget that you can’t believe everything you read on the internet. We live in a world where fake news is spread just as easily as cold hard facts, making it hard to navigate the truth of situations outside of your own social sphere. As a result, celebrities often have to clear up misconceptions about their lives, including Baddies cast member Chrisean Rock. The reality starlet had fans feeling proud after she bragged about owning a house for her and Junior a few weeks ago, but earlier this week, receipts seemed to suggest that the Baltimore native’s property had been put back on the market.

As the gossip began making rounds, many began giving Rock unsolicited financial advice, urging her to hire a professional so that she can properly manage her money for her family. “See what God did? Instead of snatching another tooth outta [your] mouth, he snatched [your] rented home,” one hater tweeted at the “Lit” artist upon reading the tea. “[You] wasn’t humble and was VERY evil and spiteful. Karma don’t miss. [You] joked [about your] fans not having money or a house,” their rant went on.

Chrisean Rock Shuts Down Rumours About Her Financial Situation

Rather than addressing all the negativity in the original post, Rock chose to only clear up rumours about her bank account. “Fake news, with my type of credit I paid a year advance,” she proudly shared on Saturday afternoon. “I kicked out $165,000, then that goes towards my renting to buy contract,” the multi-talent further explained. “Me and the owner locked in.”

Should Chrisean Rock ever find herself in a dire financial situation, at least we know that Crip Mac would be happy to take care of her and her son. Earlier this weekend, the content creator shared a video professing his interest in taking the new mother to bed while dissing her baby daddy. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Lil Reese Responds To Reports That He Got Shot

by

Every once in a while in the rap game, some blog page or social media user will light a fire under everyone with a baseless claim that takes an inch and runs a mile with it. Most recently, this happened to Lil Reese, as rumors swirled around the Internet that someone shot him. This led to media outlets like DJ Akademiks reporting that assailants shot him six times, and obviously his team started reaching out. One associate of his, fellow rapper Kayla B, took to Instagram to share screenshots of direct messages with the Chicago MC. In them, he confirmed that this speculation is entirely fake, and that he’s doing well right now.

Furthermore, Lil Reese also asked for screenshots of what blog pages started to spread this news around. It seems like he wants to get to the bottom of this and understand why these rumors manifested in the first place. Regardless, one can’t necessarily blame fans for assuming the worst in this situation considering past events. After all, the drill artist recently spoke to Adam22 of No Jumper about a previous 2021 shooting that almost took his life.

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

Unfortunately, these brushes with death have been all too common in his everyday goings-on, whether due to his relationships in the game or his proximity to hardened street life in Chicago. With this in mind, the dismissal of this fake news is heartening, as we’ve sadly seen more examples of bad news than good news. His upbringing exposed him to street life early on, and it’s been a tough thing to tackle and balance ever since. Still, at least the 30-year-old has his career as a saving grace that can keep him distant, at least some times.

Meanwhile, it’s fortunate that this news became much more positive, and that rumors resulted false. What do you think about this sort of thing happening to artists often, who find out speculation about them once people go into a social media frenzy? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Lil Reese.

03 Greedo Rumors That He Was Murdered Proven False By His Manager

by

03 Greedo fans scrambled online after rumors surfaced from unknown sources that he had been shot in Watts, Los Angeles, expressing their heartbreak, shock, and hopes that it wasn’t true. Fortunately, it seems like these speculations were disproved by none other than the rapper’s manager, who allegedly responded to someone asking them whether these rumors were true via text. In addition, multiple online outlets reported that this was fake news, although people are still reaction frantically to it. Moreover, Greedo hasn’t posted anything addressing this on his social media as of writing this article. We still need solid confirmation, but it seems like people clarified this hysteria quickly.

Furthermore, this hit fans especially hard because the West Coast MC dropped a new song this week called “Rich On Grape Street.” As such, many spent their time on social media expressing how much they liked it, and he even had a recent show. In fact, 03 Greedo will play tonight (Saturday, August 26) in Colorado, so perhaps that will be what truly confirms this as fake news. Regardless, fans are still concerned online and just want him to send a sign online.

03 Greedo’s Manager Allegedly Disproves Rumors Of His Death

Meanwhile, this news would’ve stacked up in grim and tragic fashion against recent comments the 36-year-old made. While on No Jumper with Adam22, 03 Greedo spoke on dealing with loss while he still found himself behind bars. “Must have felt like f***ing torture,” Adam remarked, and Greedo elaborated. “I’m already going through the personal side of people dying,” he expressed. “Like aunties, family friends, or just losing like real close homies in the hood It was so much s**t.” Given that he served around five years in jail, these reflections hint at an often unspoken turmoil that happens when life passes you by and you can’t do anything from prison to change it.

Hopefully the Watts artist speaks out soon and puts his fans at ease, because there’s no solid confirmation either way. As a prominent, influential, and powerful rapper in his own right, many want to see him succeed after his incarcerated stint. Now, we must endure the wait and hope for the best. With that in mind, stay logged into HNHH for the latest news and updates on 03 Greedo.

Nicki Minaj Calls Out Blog Pages For Spreading Fake News

by

Unfortunately, Nicki Minaj has long been a victim of media attacks and misinformation online, regardless of her stellar music career. A recent and egregious example of this was a crazed Cardi B fan starting a fake petition from Minaj’s neighbors to kick her out of her community. However, the Queen is still having a wild year of highlights despite these developments. For example, she just appeared on Metro Boomin’s reimagined tracklist for Young Thug’s BUSINESS IS BUSINESS. Moreover, she wasted no time in calling out various blog pages and news sources on Twitter for not getting the facts straight.

First, reports online suggested that the 40-year-old rap star bought a “Big Sleeze” chain for her husband Kenneth Petty. Although it seems harmless, Nicki Minaj was still not happy with the page spreading false information out there. “This is a blatant lie,” she tweeted. “Would you like to be added to the list of blogs making up random stories, not FAQ checking & getting sued too, boo?” However, another instance of this seems to come down more to the focus of the report rather than the report itself.

Nicki Minaj Blasts Blogs Reporting Fake News

Furthermore, the “Barbie World” MC also addressed a recent lawsuit that reportedly came her way. According to TMZ (now her target), a producer sued Nicki Minaj and Mike Will Made It for allegedly stealing one of their beats for Minaj’s 2014 album The Pinkprint. “Do I make beats?” she asked TMZ on Twitter. “You first on the list dummy.” Given the vagueness of the reports, it’s unclear whether Minaj is saying she wasn’t sued at all or is mad at outlets for attributing blame to her in the first place. Either way, it’s still frustrating to deal with on top of swatting incidents and other allegations of stealing song ideas and beats.

The Queen Isn’t Playing Around

Meanwhile, that hate is balanced out with an avalanche of love for Nicki, whether online or within the industry. Recently, the Trinidadian MC responded to Lil Wayne calling her the best female rapper of all time. “I’ll give u a dollar if you can find a lie,” she tweeted. “When the greatest rapper of all time believed & still believes in you. I sure did lean on your confidence & u sure were ALWAYS there. Til this day- when I send you smthng you send a verse bakk. @liltunechi we love you so much. We thank you so much. Long live the BAR! Bar for Bar. No pun intended.” For more news and the latest updates on Nicki Minaj, log back into HNHH.

Woman Says G Herbo Is Her Child’s Father, Denies It After Going Viral

by

Those social media jokey-jokes make for a temporary laugh, but after a woman mentioned G Herbo, she found herself on the receiving end of backlash. Entertainers often face off against fake news. Daily, some of our favorite stars’ names are mixed up in controversies they aren’t even aware of. Strangers take to the internet or call outlets to share their stories, and the tales take over for a moment.

Earlier today (February 28), Herbo’s name circulated after a woman named Iysis Kior claimed he was the father of her child. “Herbert Randall Wright III !! The fact that he refuses to acknowledge my baby publicly really bothers me. He blocked me on everything, and this is exactly why this post being made,” wrote Kior alongside images of the rapper and a young child.

Woman Admits To Lying About G Herbo

Kior emphasized her point. “ANIT NO MORE KEEPING SECRETS [peace sign emoji],” she added. She even mentioned Herbo’s children with Ariana Fletcher and Taina Williams. “He named my baby after Essex &’ Yosohn… E’SOHN RAMIR WRIGHT.” The post didn’t take long to circulate, and soon, strangers weighed in. Some said that the child even looked like Herbo, but once the news reached the blogs, Kior changed her tune.

“Y’all just over did it !!!!” she said after going viral. “It was a whole ass joke [crying laughing emoji][deep breath emoji] y’all took it waaaay too far; Bye [peace sign emoji].” The explanation wasn’t enough for Herbo’s fans, who called her out for inciting drama. This might have been a passing quip for Kior, but it sparked a greater conversation about lawsuits.

Swimming In Controversies

While a random woman reporting a secret child may seem like nothing, G Herbo has been riddled with controversies. He has faced allegations of infidelities, and the public has often created chaos as they speculate about his personal life. Some have suggested that artists should sue people who lie and admit to it. No word on how Herbo feels about this.
