DJ Clark Kent Is Alive Despite False Death Reports

by

Recently, it was falsely reported that DJ Clark Kent passed away due to an unspecified illness. Despite these reports, the veteran DJ is fortunately very much alive and well, according to Angie Martinez, Questlove, and more. “The article that The Source Mag & others have posted about the passing of Dj Clark Kent is false,” Martinez wrote on X earlier today. “Clark is home with his family. Please refrain from sharing any other false information. It is hurtful, deeply irresponsible and untrue.”

The Source, which falsely reported on the artist’s death, issued an explanation for the error in response to Martinez’s post. “The Source was contacted by a family member who brought that information to us as it was reported on other outlets,” the outlet explained. “We are pleased to hear of the well-being of DJ Clark Kent and apologize to the family for reporting the false information.”

Questlove also responded to the false reports with an Instagram post, making it clear that the producer had not passed away. “DJ Clark Kent is STILL with us. I know a lot of you are rushing to be ‘FIRST!’” he wrote. “But until word or statement comes from his wife or family, can y’all please quit with the misinformation? It’s stressful as it is.” Pete Rock even joined in to encourage social media users to stop sharing fake information, as it could be harmful to the living DJ’s loved ones.

“Stop traumatizing his family posting that he passed!!” he said. The artist himself has yet to address the bizarre debacle. What do you think of false reports that DJ Clark Kent passed away from an unknown illness being disproven earlier today? What about his friends and loved ones firing back amid the false reports?

Rihanna’s 2024 World Tour Deal Was Never Agreed Upon According To Source

by

Just a couple of days ago, music fans were going to be getting something so exciting. We are talking about a Rihanna world tour. The Mirror ran a report saying that the R&B superstar shook hands on a massive deal with Live Nation. According to them, the deal was $20 million plus and it was going to be in 2024-2025. Additionally, she is also sitting on two albums.

Apparently, though, we had the wool pulled over our eyes. According to a recent article from Billboard, a high source says it is totally “bogus.” The $39 million contract never went through, meaning no tour dates were ever in place either. “No tour has been confirmed for Rihanna,” says the source.

Of course, there are reasons as to why this could never happen. Rihanna recently gave birth to her and A$AP Rocky’s second child, Riot Rose. On top of that, we all know how involved she is with clothing, makeup, and every other avenue. It is extremely disheartening news as music and RiRi fans will have to continue to be patient. At least she put on a terrific show at the Super Bowl last year.

What are your initial thoughts on this source saying that Rihanna’s world tour is “bogus?” If this remains true, should Rihanna fans be upset? Do you think she will ever go on tour, or drop another album ever again? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest breaking news around Rihanna, as well as everything else going on around the music world.

Tory Lanez’ Dad Addresses Prison Release Rumors

by

Recently, Tory Lanez has been trending on Twitter/X, as fans have falsely speculated that he was released from prison. Earlier this week, the performer resubmitted his bail request, after it was denied back in September. According to reporter Meghann Cuniff, the motion was “nearly identical” to the first one he submitted. Unfortunately for hopeful fans, he was not released. According to legal paperwork provided by Cuniff, his motion is still pending.

Amid the speculation, Lanez’ father took to social media to thank fans for their support. During a recent Instagram Live, he explained how his son’s voice “will not be silenced,” urging followers to pray for a good outcome. Cuniff claims that the rumors have led to her being “bombarded” with questions surrounding his release, which she finds laughable.

“I gotta say this was an absolutely hilarious 45 minutes of being bombarded with questions about Lanez getting bail, posting that it’s BS, then listening to a Twitter Spaces in which the people saying he got bail realized in real time it was BS. Epic,” she wrote. “‘It shouldn’t be that easy to make a fake email. … These things should be verifiable.’ Yes, if only there was this thing called the public court docket that we could check to see if something has actually happened in a case,” Cuniff added.

Yesterday, Cuniff additionally reported that Lanez’ legal team was hoping it would only take “a day or two” for a hearing to be scheduled in the appellate court. She says that despite their beliefs, the process will take far longer than that. Cuniff also noted that “the appellate court does not hold hearings.” What do you think of false rumors that Tory Lanez was released? What do you think of his father’s response?

Nicki Minaj Puts Alleged Swatter On Blast

by

Nicki Minaj recently took to social media, calling out the woman who allegedly had her swatted at the end of last month. It wasn’t the first time the rap diva fell victim to a swatting call, and it’s clear that she was fed up. According to reports, authorities were able to speak with Nicki upon their arrival and clear things up fairly quickly, however, swatting is notorious for being dangerous, annoying, and a waste of resources.

With that being said, Nicki didn’t just let the incident roll off of her back. She revealed today that the alleged perpetrator is now facing legal consequences for her actions, going on to call her a “dumbo.” Fans were quick to call on Nicki to reveal the individual’s name, which she refused at first. She claimed that it would be leaked soon enough, however, she unveiled it herself soon after. “Stephanie Bell,” Nicki followed up in another Tweet. “A warrant is in the system. Great detective work. So grateful.”

The performer continued, “The DA filed one count for the swatting call and one for the false report to DCFS. To God be the glory.” As expected, fans are glad that the alleged swatter will soon be brought to justice. Elsewhere on Twitter, the artist has been hyping up fans eagerly-awaiting her new album, Pink Friday 2. Nicki has also been making headlines as of late for her wildly successful collaboration with Ice Spice for the Barbie movie, “Barbie World.” Recently, it was revealed that the song managed to snag the No. 1 spot on Billboard‘s Rhythmic Airplay chart.

The track saw a 31% increase in weekly radio plays earlier this month, marking the largest leap to No. 1 on that chart since the ’90s. Amid her countless successes, Nicki never fails to share the love. Recently, she even surprised Blac Chyna’s mother, Tokyo Toni, with a hefty donation during her livestream. Stay tuned to HNHH for more updates on Nicki Minaj.

Shy Glizzy Is Alive Despite Rumors

by

Earlier this week, some reports surfaced suggesting that Shy Glizzy was dead. For obvious reasons, the news was shocking and managed to sadden those who believed it. Fortunately, however, it appears as though he’s still very much alive, according to his DJ. The DJ, DJ Flow, took to Twitter to set the record straight, even providing fans with proof that Shy’s still kicking. “SHY GLIZZY IS ALIVE F*CK IS WRONG WITH YALL,” he wrote.

He then went on to share a screenshot of a text conversation between him and the DC rapper, in which he asks his friend to confirm. “Just confirm with me you good bro,” he tells Shy Glizzy. Glizzy then responds with a photo, letting the DJ know that he’s okay. “For the weirdos who need confirmation,” DJ Flow captioned the image.

DJ Flow Proves That Shy Glizzy Isn’t Dead

It appears as though the rumors all began when a local news outlet reported that he was the victim of a fatal shooting. They later followed up with a correction, confirming that the individual shot wasn’t Shy Glizzy. They also went on to reveal that the person who was shot hadn’t died either. “@Jefe is alive and the person shot tonight is conscious and breathing and isn’t him!!!” the outlet wrote. It’s safe to say that fans are relieved to hear that Shy Glizzy is still alive. With that being said, this isn’t the only shocking controversy he’s been a part of lately.

Earlier this year, it was reported that the rapper allegedly threatened to kill his ex-girlfriend, Amaya Colon. In her request for a restraining order, the model accused her ex of having “anger issues.” She went on to detail an alleged incident which saw Shy Glizzy follow her in her vehicle and bang on her windows with a firearm. He denies ever threatening Colon. In July, it was revealed that the artist won’t be facing charges in the case, as the court was unable to find sufficient evidence. Colon appears to still have a temporary restraining order against her ex.

Daily Loud Issues Apology For False Reports On Jamie Foxx’s Health

by

Jamie Foxx’s health scare and hospitalization has been one of the most worrisome and talked-about stories in pop culture this year. With so much uncertainty and fear surrounding his status, it can be tough to know which news to trust and what is just hearsay. Moreover, fans and audiences everywhere fell subject to the worst example of this so far. Reports from many sources indicated that his family was “preparing for the worst,” despite other sources providing promising updates on his recovery. As a result, Daily Loud recently took to Twitter to apologize for scaring fans with one of many misleading reports on his status.

“We would like to apologize for the misinformation regarding Jamie Foxx’s condition we unfortunately though the source we had was real but it was not,” their account tweeted. “We are sorry to Jamie and his family for our actions here and continue to wish him nothing but good health. Sorry for letting our followers down as well. We will do better in the future and will make sure every source is properly fact checked from here on.”

Jamie Foxx Is Recuperating & Well; Daily Loud‘s Apology For Misleading Coverage

Furthermore, it should be noted that Daily Loud is not solely to blame for these misleading reports. In fact, outlets like our own and many others reported on the foreboding news, despite acknowledging how it strangely conflicted with other updates. As fans take a breath and relax following this clarification, celebrities and fans from all over continue to send their well-wishes to Jamie Foxx and his family. Of course, many on social media blasted these outlets for their work, and rightfully so. Hopefully this is a sign to depend more on sources legitimately close to the star actor, especially given how his daughter had to clear the air.

“Update from the family: Sad to see how the media runs wild,” Corinne Foxx wrote on her Instagram Story. “My Dad has been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating. In fact, he was playing pickleball yesterday! Thanks for everyone’s prayers and support! We have an exciting work announcement coming next week too!” For the latest (hopefully true) updates and news on Jamie Foxx, come back to HNHH.

Nicki Minaj Wants Default Judgement Against Blogger She Sued For False Reports

by

Nicki Minaj is asking the court for a default judgement after a blogger she sued for false reports ignored her filing. Moreover, Marley Green, better known as Nosey Heaux, accused Nicki of being a cokehead and made some disparaging comments about her son. While everything set itself in place for the court proceedings, the only missing thing is Green’s response. Furthermore, since she’s failed to address the lawsuit, the New York-raised MC wants the case resolved without her input. Overall, this could mean that the superstar rapper might get close to her requested damages of $75,000.

According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, Minaj’s lawyer Judd Burstein made such requests on Thursday (February 23). Additionally, he asked the Clerk of the Court to issue a certificate of default in the case. “Defendants have not answered or otherwise moved with respect to the complaint and the time for them to do so has expired,” they stated. When Nicki sued Green in September of 2022, attorney Bobby Samini agreed to represent and accept service for Green the following October. However, even though Burstein sent Green and her team a summons and complaint via email that month, they had to extend the December deadline for response to January 16 of this year.

Still, it was all crickets on Green’s end. “The Defendants herein have outrageously defamed [Nicki Minaj] by posting a video on their Twitter page in which Defendant Marley Green, who goes by the name of ‘Nosey Heaux,’ falsely and maliciously stated that [Nicki Minaj] is a ‘cokehead’ who is ‘shoving all this cocaine up her nose,’” Nicki’s lawyer wrote in the original lawsuit. “Further evidencing a fundamental lack of decency, Green has also posted vile comments about [Nicki Minaj’s] one year-old son. While these comments are not actionable, they nonetheless demonstrate why punitive damages should be awarded in this case.”

Also, Burstein maintained that his client never used cocaine. In addition, he insisted that Green acted with “actual malice” because she “knew that there was a high probability that it was false.” Meanwhile, at least the “Anaconda” artist has more bright things to look forward to this year. Recently, she announced an upcoming single which should have Barbs all over feeling absolutely ecstatic. Regardless, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from Nicki Minaj.
