Keke Palmer’s Son, Leodis, Makes First Red Carpet Appearance With Mom & Dad
It was just a few months ago that Keke Palmer bravely welcomed her first child, Leodis Andrelton Jackson, into the world. Already, however, the young boy is making is red carpet debut alongside his famous mother and her boyfriend, Darius Jackson. The couple stepped out for the closing night screening of her upcoming Big Boss visual album during the 2023 Atlanta Film Festival, both Leo and his father rocking all-black outfits for their first major public appearance together.
While the boys kept it casual with their looks, Palmer was as extra as ever in a cheetah-print jumpsuit that perfectly hugs her “new body.” As you may recall, the Jump In! starlet previously boasted on Instagram about how the months following pregnancy have seen major changes in her body. Specifically, she’s happy to see natural enhancements in her chest, hips, and booty area, which Palmer admits she lacked confidence in in the past.
Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson Step Out with Little Leo
While motherhood is obviously the main thing on her agenda at this time, fans are happy to see the Chicago native continuing her streak of keeping busy. Earlier this month, she gave the world a taste of her often-forgotten about music talents. It came in the form of a new single, “Waiting,” which will appear on May’s Big Boss. The project was written and directed by Palmer herself, and will be exclusively available on KeyTV, YouTube, and Facebook on Saturday, the 13th.
Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson have also taken their little one to a Halos baseball game recently. Following that, she was honoured with a Vanguard Award from the Los Angeles LGBT Centre for her contributions to the queer community. It’s been a huge year for the Disney Channel alum already, and we can’t wait to see what she has planned for the future.

Lil Baby Takes His Family To Hawks & Celtics Game
It’s far from uncommon to see Lil Baby posted up courtside during an NBA basketball game, but this time he brought the whole family. Moreover, Baby captured a video of him with his loved ones, presumably including his kids and other members. Of course, the Atlanta MC isn’t one to always be flaunting his family around on the ‘Gram, and likes to keep things private from what his social media presence indicates. However, given that the Atlanta Hawks were facing elimination from the playoffs against the Boston Celtics, perhaps this was a special occasion. Unfortunately, their home team lost to the Celtics, but that’s easier to digest when you’re so close to the action.
Furthermore, the “Hats Off” rapper popped out with former girlfriend Jayda Cheaves at multiple Hawks games this season. Many debated whether Jayda should still be around him, but at least their relationship is amicable and friendly in the first place. They also link up often at social gatherings, so it’s clear that things are smooth between them, which helps the family. Unfortunately for the 28-year-old, things just got a lot more complicated.
Lil Baby Takes His Family To Final Hawks Playoff Game In 2023
First off, Instagram model Daliesha Keyes allegedly faked a paternity test and claimed that Lil Baby fathered her child. When she first revealed the DNA test, fans thought that the MC was now a father of three. Since then, reports suggested that Keyes’ claims were false to begin with, and Baby didn’t even have to say anything about it. Also, that news broke just days after his baby mama Ayesha Howard explained why she would never get back with him.
Meanwhile, fans caused an uproar after pictures of the It’s Only Me star and Khloé Kardashian dining together surfaced. Not only did it take a lot of people by surprise, but it also fired up relationship conspiracy theorists. After all, many out there believe in such a thing as the Kardashian Curse. After those photos spread on social media, many think that his career might flop. However, if he has “Sum 2 Prove,” it’s that he can keep dropping great gems- which he did as recently as this week. Regardless, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Lil Baby.
Nicki Minaj Shares Adorable New Photos Of Her Son
Nicki Minaj can do it all. She’s a mother, an iconic rapper, an actress, and a businesswoman. Earlier this year, the Queen officially announced that she was starting her own record label. There wasn’t much news about it afterward, except for rumors here and there that she had signed Ice Spice. A few weeks ago, Nicki and Ice Spice released a collaboration called “Princess Diana.” It was originally a single from Ice Spice’s 2022 EP, but Nicki had been rumored to jump on it for a while. When it was released, fans noticed that “Heavy On It” was listed among the labels that distributed the collab. In addition, Nicki says the alleged label name at the beginning of the song. While she has yet to officially confirm the name, she did give a cheeky reply to one fan on Twitter who pointed it out.
Nicki Minaj also recently claimed in a tweet that she would be seated beside Prince Harry at King Charles’ coronation ceremony. The Queen has a reputation for trolling, and it now appears to have just been a promotional tactic for her new verse on the “Princess Diana” remix. The song was released two weeks ago, and it has been all over the place ever since. In fact, earlier this week, it landed at number four on the Billboard Hot 100. This was another big win for the Queen, who broke Drake’s previous Billboard record with the track. It was also a win for Ice Spice, who now has two singles in the top 10. Now, Nicki is taking some much-deserved family time.
Nicki’s “Papa Bear” Is Growing Up Fast
Nicki Minaj may be the Queen of Rap, but today she reminded fans that she’s also a mom. Originally, she announced that she was retiring from music in order to focus on family. While that didn’t turn out to be exactly true, she certainly has built a beautiful family over the last few years. In July 2020, Nicki shared a photo of her baby bump on her Instagram, confirming news that fans had already suspected: she was pregnant. Later that year, she gave birth to a baby boy, whom she affectionately refers to as “Papa Bear.” The rapper doesn’t always post family-related photos, but earlier today she shared a look into her life as a mother.
In the adorable photos that Nicki posted, her son can be seen dressed in stylish outfits. “Papa Bear” is all smiles as his mother takes photos of him while he eats and plays. The Barbz took to the comment section of the post to share their love, most of them simply posting heart emojis. Nicki recently revealed that her new follow-up album to 2018’s Queen will be coming this year. So, she is likely enjoying some downtime before things get crazy again. What do you think of the photos of “Papa Bear”? Let us know in the comments!

Chris Brown Posts Up With His Three Kids
Chris Brown just warmed fans’ hearts with a picture of him and his three children: daughter Royalty, 8, son Aeko Catori, 3, and daughter Lovely Symphani, 1. Moreover, the children laid in Brown’s arms as he put on a goofy smile for the snap, and people gushed over their cuteness. Of course, this pic came amid the R&B star’s continued presence in the headlines for many more reasons. For example, many fans took note of his lewd and provocative choreography at Rolling Loud Thailand, which got fans either feeling sweaty or slightly uncomfortable.
However, a lot of discussion around Brown these days centered around his controversial collaborations, as well. One of these was “Freaky Friday” with Lil Dicky, who remarked on the race-swapping concept of the track and reckoning with Brown’s history of abuse. As a big fan of the “Yeah 3x” singer, Dave said that he felt touched by Brown giving him props, and said that song opened many doors for him. Also, he said that he “knows his heart is good” at the end of the day, referring to people criticizing him for working with a past abuser.

In addition, Chlöe addressed her fans’ backlash to her collab with Chris Brown for similar reasons. She remarked in a podcast interview that she “always just [wants to] let the music speak for itself. And to be honest, no matter what I do, people always find things to say about it, so I’m used to it. I just choose to ignore it. People have every right to their opinions, freedom of speech, and it’s up to me to choose what I give my attention and energy to. Everything I’m doing is ordained by God, and I’m walking in my purpose, and anybody who has a problem with that can kiss my booty.”
Meanwhile, the 33-year-old just let fans know that another collaboration is on the way, this time with Ciara. “ME AND @ciara got some [fire] coming,” he shared to Instagram. Time will tell whether reception to it differs from those recent examples. No matter what side of that debate you fall on, at least it seems like his children are by his side. Regardless, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Chris Brown.
Da Brat And Her Wife Share Touching Moment’s Showing Their Baby Kick
Da Brat and her wife Jesseca Dupart are anxiously awaiting the birth of their baby boy. Since announcing that Brat was carrying their baby boy, the couple has taken their fans along their journey. Staying true to the transparency they’ve built with fans, the couple shared a new video of their journey on Wednesday.
Dupart shared an adorable video of Brat as she feels the baby move inside her. Brat appears surprised and excited with each little kick. “I felt it again!” she exclaims at one point. Dupart is behind the camera capturing every kick. Dupart, who is popularly known by her moniker, BB Judy, penned a sweet message to her wife. “It’s the SWEETEST little things to watch. My wife is so deserving of all this excitement, love and blessings,” she captioned the video.
Da Brat Is Expecting Her First Child
At the end of the caption, Dupart revealed that the couple’s reality show, “Brat Loves Judy” will return on April 27th. The WeTV series debuted in 2021. It follows the women as they navigate their careers and marriage. Dupart is a successful beauty industry mogul. She founded Kaleidoscope Hair Products in 2013. Since then, the brand has become a million dollar business. Walmart now carries the products in store and online. After years as a So So Def rapper, Brat now enjoys a lucrative media career. She is one of the co-hosts of the Rickey Smiley Morning Show. The “Give It 2 You” star is also a part-time actress, having recently appeared in the Set It Off stage play. The 48-year-old admitted to PEOPLE that she never believed she’d get pregnant but decided to try after marrying. They have not revealed the name of their baby, likely waiting for their show to premiere.
Brat and Judy first met in 2017, though they didn’t go public until 2020. Their whirlwind romance was documented on their reality show. However, it caused some friction between Brat and her sister LisaRaye McCoy. The Player’s Club actress has claimed her sister excluded her from her life after getting with Dupart. Nevertheless, when the couple tied the knot in 2022, McCoy was present.
Rihanna’s Son Looks Cooler Than Her & A$AP Rocky In New Easter Photos
Easter has come and gone for another year, but Rihanna is keeping the holiday spirit alive and well with some last-minute photos of her son. On Tuesday (April 11), the “Desperado” singer used her Instagram feed to show off the young boy, who’s still awaiting the arrival of his sibling. “Eastuh!!” Baby Fenty’s mom wrote in the caption, beginning her first photo dump with a hilarious photo of the young boy chewing on a plastic egg while mean-mugging, a sparkly stuffed bunny thrown down by his feat.
As expected, the young one is already as much of a “Fashion Killa” as his parents, sporting little more than a flashy multi-colour chain around his neck in the sweet images. The next snapshot sees Rihanna’s firstborn wearing a pair of giant white bunny ears, which is followed by one of him peering up at the camera, an adorable blank expression on his face. To round out the post, the 35-year-old showed off the young one’s side profile, proving that he’s already resembling both her and A$AP Rocky very clearly.
Baby Fenty Breaks the Internet
Like most new mothers, the Bad Gal couldn’t stop there. She shared another IG post minutes later, this one crediting the photographer responsible for making Baby Fenty look so fly. “Look at heeeeee!!!!” Rihanna gassed up her offspring. “Shot by de birFday gal herself @mdollas11!” In these images, the months-old baby is surrounded by Easter baskets, chocolate, and what appears to be live bunnies in a patch of green grass. Though he obviously can’t read it himself, the infant holds a book titled, “How to Catch the Easter Bunny,” perfectly setting the mood for the holiday season.
While scrolling through the short and sweet photo dump, viewers will see Rih’s little one eventually lose interest in his storybook in favour of the fluffy creatures surrounding him. “Wait that’s actually real bunnies next to him? How cuuuuuute
,” a fan wrote in the comments. See the Fenty family photos for yourself above and below, and if you’re looking for more wholesome content, be sure to check of Diddy’s latest upload of baby Love here.

Kevin Gates Reveals Why He Loves Hunting
Kevin Gates doesn’t like to buy his meat at the grocery store. He prefers to hunt for it himself. In a new interview with AllHipHop.com, Gates opened up about his love of hunting deer. However, he makes it clear that he doesn’t just do it for sport. For him, it is also about mental health. According to the rapper, hunting can be likened to a spiritual experience. “It takes pure focus. It’s almost like meditation,” he says in the interview. “You got to be in sync with it.” In addition to his own meditative reasoning, Gates uses his hunting skills to provide for his family.
Once Gates makes a kill, he makes sure to show thanks to God for providing food. Then, he takes great care to dress the animal to ensure the meat remains untainted. The rapper says this gives him a greater understanding of and connection to the meat that he consumes. The rapper recently opened up about how taking a life is sacred, so it makes sense that he would go to great lengths to respect the animals he hunts and show his thankfulness. As rewarding as the experience may be, Gates acknowledges that it will never yield immediate results. “I know I’m not going to get instant results,” he says. “I know I got to put work in… to cultivate it and develop it.”
Gates Receives Key To His Hometown
His newfound love of hunting is not the only development in Kevin Gates’ life recently. He has also received the key to his hometown, Baton Rouge. The rapper was surprised on stage with the honor. Afterward, he took to social media to post his gratitude for the recognition. “Feeling grateful and honored to have received the key to the city of Baton Rouge!” Gates said on his Instagram after the event. “It’s a privilege and I look forward to continuing to contribute to its growth and prosperity.”
The Shade Room posted a video of the event, and commenters seemed displeased. Some wondered why Gates received the key when others deserved it. “Love Gates but as a Baton Rougian… Boosie does way more for his city…” one user said. Another chimed in to agree, commenting, “That belongs to Boosie.” While many of the commenters expressed distaste, other users were downright lost. “What these keys be unlocking?” one user said. “I always wanted to know.” What do you think of Kevin Gates’ new hunting hobby? Also, do you think he deserved the key to the city? Sound off in the comments to let us know!
