Halle Bailey Almost Throws Hands After Mishearing Fan’s Compliment: Watch

by

Halle Bailey is known for being as sweet as can be, but that doesn’t mean the Little Mermaid star is willing to tolerate any disrespect. Recently, she stepped out for the 2024 ESSENCE Black Women In Hollywood Awards Ceremony, which she attended with her older sister, Chloe. The duo was making their grand entrance to the event hand-in-hand, and of course, was swarmed by adoring fans.

One of the fans was very vocal with their praise, shouting, “Halle! Chloe! Yes, bad b*tches, f*ck it up!” Chloe didn’t appear to pay any mind to the fan’s compliment. Halle, on the other hand, seemed to mishear them. Social media users suspect that she thought the fan called her and her sister “fat b*tches,” though she’s yet to confirm or deny this. Either way, she looked outraged.

Halle Bailey Looks Outraged

In the clip, Halle quickly turns around upon hearing the fan’s remark, seeming upset by it. Commenters joke that the songstress was even ready to throw hands. Luckily, it doesn’t seem as though the situation escalated any further. “It’s the calm ones you gotta worry about. Halle looked like she was on go!,” one user writes in The Neighborhood Talk‘s comments section. “Sis you was about to be Unda-Da-seaaa.. that ATL came out fast‼,” another quips.

Supporters can’t blame Halle for being on edge these days, particularly considering all the backlash she’s received since announcing the birth of her son Halo. While accepting her award at the ceremony, Bailey got emotional while reflecting on her choice to keep her pregnancy a secret. “There was no way in hell I was going to share the biggest joy of my world with anyone,” she explained. “Halo was my gift. He is the greatest blessing, and I had no obligation to expose him, me, or my family to that.” What do you think of Halle Bailey mishearing a fan’s compliment at a recent event?

Quavo Poses Alongside Superfan With His Face Tattooed On Their Back

by

It’s no secret that some fans can take their dedication pretty far. Recently, however, Quavo ran into a man who took his commitment to the extreme. Last week, the hitmaker was roaming around Italy when he met the superfan, who promptly took off his shirt to unveil a huge tattoo of his face. The massive piece is situated on the man’s back, right beside another tribute tattoo of Post Malone.

It’s unclear exactly when the lucky fan got to snap a photo with Quavo, but it’s likely to have been at Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign’s Vultures listening event. It took place last week at Milan’s Mediolanum Forum. The detailed portrait shows Quavo looking off to the side, flashing a big smile in a pair of sunglasses.

Quavo Meets Lucky Fan In Italy

While the fan’s ink is pretty impressive, he’s far from the first person to honor someone they care about with a tribute tattoo. After the passing of Quavo’s former Migos groupmate Takeoff, for example, the third member of the group Offset got a tattoo in his honor. The massive piece takes up the performer’s full back, and appears to show Takeoff in space. While it’s unclear whether or not Quavo is sporting any tattoos in honor of the late artist, he did share a post shortly after, reminding fans that rocket power “is in you” and “not on you.”

Quavo does have several other tattoos, however, and even used to tattoo others when he was younger. In an October interview, he revealed that he used a “kind of stolen” tattoo gun to give Takeoff his first and only tattoo, which was also the first he gave to anybody. What do you think of Quavo meeting a fan in Italy with a massive tattoo of his face on their back? Are you impressed by the fan’s ink?

It goes without saying that Travis Scott has kept himself busy in recent months. He’s currently gearing up to perform at the Grammys, appear in a new Harmony Korine film Aggro Dr1ft, and more. After unveiling his eagerly-anticipated fourth studio album UTOPIA in July, the hitmaker also announced his supporting Circus Maximus tour, which has seen him make various sold-out stops in cities around the U.S. and Canada.

Despite his undoubtedly hectic schedule, the Houston native still makes time to show love to his fans. He frequently thanks them for their support on social media, and even recently gave one of them a shoutout while he was onstage.

Young Concertgoer Beams As Travis Scott Points Her Out

As if she wasn’t already having the time of her life, Travis pointed her out in the crowd, much to her excitement. “Now I just want y’all to know something, man,” he began. “At seven years old she told her parents, ‘Ain’t no way y’all are not bringing me to the Trav show.’” He then raised his hands in the air with a big smile before rolling right into “FE!N.” Clearly, the sweet moment made the young fan’s night, and social media users can’t blame her.

Of course, there are also plenty of users complaining that a parent brought their child to a concert. Fortunately, she appeared to be surrounded by family, and looks to have had a blast. What do you think of Travis Scott giving a young fan a shoutout during one of his recent performances? Do you think it made the fan’s night? Was she too young to attend the concert?

Kanye West Samples Sha’Carri Richardson On “Vultures,” Curves Fan’s Hug In New Clip

by

Kanye West fans were left disappointed last week when they expected his joint album with Ty Dolla Sign to drop, which obviously didn’t happen. Instead, social media users woke up to headlines surrounding the controversial statements made by the Chicago MC during his Vegas Vultures listening party. He managed to reinforce his antisemitic streak, stir up drama with Nicki Minaj’s Barbz, and more.

Ye’s since confirmed that Vultures will now be released on December 31. The listening party debacle and delays have managed to cloud the musical elements of the release. Regardless, fans are still curious as to what Ye has up his sleeve for this latest project. In a new snippet, he samples Sha’Carri Richardson, a celebrated track and field star from Dallas who helped Ye tease Donda back in 2021.

Kanye West Samples Sha’Carri Richardson

In the snippet, Richardson is heard saying “I’m ready mentally, physically, and emotionally. And I’m here to stay, and I’m back not better.” The clip comes from Richardson’s interview at the 2023 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, where she secured her first national title. Her words are certainly inspiring and make for a solid sample, getting fans even more excited for Vultures.

There is at least one fan who may not be as excited for Vultures as they once were, however. In a new clip, Ye’s seen surrounded by some supporters, shaking their hands and greeting them. When one woman reached out to hug Ye, he stopped her in her tracks, moving on to hug a different woman nearby. While Ye has the right to hug or not hug whoever he wants, the fan looked pretty defeated when he turned her down, and some commenters think it was a shady move.

Rihanna and ASAP Rocky recently surprised fans in Vegas at his Puma x F1 pop-up, shaking their hands and posing for photos. One of their fans got quite the experience at the event when the rapper decided to pluck him out of the crowd and personally gift him a shirt from the collection. In a new clip, ASAP Rocky is seen greeting the young boy, who adorably can’t believe his eyes.

The boy’s jaw is already dropped when Rocky hands him the shirt, but his surprise only got better. Rihanna then entered the room, bringing him in for a hug. Her presence left him stunned, eliciting some laughs from the celebrity couple.

Young Fan Blown Away By Meeting ASAP Rocky & Rihanna

The moment was certainly one for the books, and the boy is sure to cherish it for quite some time. Social media users can’t blame him for being swept away by the experience, and are celebrating the pair’s heartfelt gesture. They have their own little ones at home, so ASAP Rocky and Rihanna likely knew how special the mini meet and greet would be to the boy. There were even some rumors circulating recently that the duo was expecting their third child soon, however, those were purely based on false claims made by a random user on Twitter.

The rapper did make it clear during a recent interview that he holds his children close, revealing that he feels Riot and RZA were his and Rihanna’s best work yet. “I think we do a real great job at collaborating and making children. I think that’s our best creation so far. Nothing’s better than that, I don’t think,” he told Complex earlier this month.

Tamar Braxton Rips Microphone Away From Fan: “I Know You Lying”

by

During a recent show, Tamar Braxton got fed up after she passed her microphone over to a fan who appeared to be struggling with her lyrics. In a new clip, the fan is seen singing into the microphone while staring down at her phone. Tamar didn’t seem to appreciate the fan’s behavior, promptly grabbing the microphone right out of her hand. “I know you lying,” Tamar told the fan as she walked away, looking pretty defeated.

While Tamar thought the fan was looking down at her phone to read the lyrics, the fan denies this. She took to social media to defend herself, claiming that she was simply trying to record the exciting moment. Luckily, it doesn’t look like the fan has any hard feelings over the mic-grab. “Omgggg y’all I need y’all helpp!!!!” she wrote. “Can y’all tag Tamar and tell her I was recordinggg!!!! I knew the words of YOU KNOW ME YK I KNEW THEM WORDS. LOVE YOU TAY TAY.”

Fan Says She Was Only Trying To Record

Regardless of whether or not the fan knew the lyrics, the microphone incident has left social media users divided. Some think the fan should have enjoyed the moment instead of looking down at her phone, as it was possibly a once in a lifetime opportunity to be onstage alongside Tamar. Others argue that no matter what, Tamar shouldn’t have grabbed the microphone away like that, embarrassing her own fan. A lot of commenters are somewhere in the middle, believing that both parties were in the wrong in this case.

What do you think of Tamar Braxton ripping the microphone out of her fan’s hand? Do you think Tamar took things too far? Do you think the fan knew the lyrics and was really just trying to record? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Sexyy Red’s shows are known to be a sight to see. Typically, the “SkeeYee” rapper has the crowd effortlessly turnt as she performs her hits. Recently, however, one member of her audience wasn’t as full of energy as she would of liked, prompting the 25-year-old artist to check up on her.

In a new clip, Sexyy Red pauses her show to call out the concertgoer, who looked less than thrilled to be there. The St. Louis native had been performing her song “Shake Yo Dreads,” when she stopped in her tracks. “You got a problem?” she asked, pointing to the serious fan in question. “You okay?” The fan then laughed, assuring her that she was fine. “I thought you ain’t f*ck with a b*tch for real,” she responded.

Luckily, it seems like the fan was simply suffering from a case of RBF, and was enjoying the show despite how it appeared. While not all concertgoers are able to live up to the “Pound Town” performer’s expectations, she continues to deliver energetic performances without fail. She just recently announced that she’s pregnant with her second child, and even that hasn’t slowed her down.

Fat Joe Recounts A Horrific Story With A Man In A Santa Costume

by

Rappers who have been in the hip-hop space for decades will always have a plethora of thought-provoking and legendary stories to talk about for hours on end. One icon that can gather people around for a good anecdote is New Yorker through and through, Fat Joe. The 53-year-old from the South Bronx has done a great service to the East Coast providing classics such as “Lean Back,” “All The Way Up,” “What’s Luv?” and countless others. On top of his decorated music career, Fat Joe has countless memories from his past that are incredibly fascinating.

Just yesterday on September 3, the rapper retold a frightening encounter with a random man in public. Fat Joe went on his Instagram Live to take a trip in the time machine when he was approached and called out by a man in a Santa Claus suit. Joe appears to remember it like it was yesterday as he explains in detail what happened to him. Obviously, he is still here to share it, but this man really threatened him and could have done something terrible.

Fat Joe Lives To Tell The Tale

Joe gives us the scenario to start, “I came out of the jewelers and this guy sees me. The guy is wearing a Santa Claus outfit, but it’s the summer… He’s got money in his hand — a bunch of singles, dirty singles — he looked like he went to the strip club with oil. He continues, “He sees me and he goes, ‘You! You muthafucka!’ So I’m looking at him because nobody does that to me. But obviously, you know, the guy was mentally disturbed. Mental illness, schizophrenia?” The man also shouts at Joe, “‘Oooh, you rich muthaf****! I have nothing! No one loves me!’” Joe says in the Live, “The man got a knife or something. He was in a horrible state of mind. But… I was impressed that I exercised patience.” The rapper told the man “God bless you,” because he felt he could not do anything for the guy. Thankfully Joe is still here to talk about it, and if the man is suffering from some illness, we hope he is getting the treatment he needs.

What are your initial thoughts on this story from Fat Joe and the man in the Santa Claus suit? Is this one of the most odd stories you have ever heard? What do you think the man was dealing with mentally or emotionally? We want to hear what you have to say about all of this.

Drake Gives Fan $50K After They Reveal They Spent Their Furniture Money On His Show

by

Drake’s currently making his way around the U.S and Canada on his “It’s All A Blur” tour alongside 21 Savage. The tour has been making headlines for celebrity guests, updates on new music, and of course, fan antics. Recently, Drizzy took the stage at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, and rewarded one attendee who really gave their all to be there.

In a new clip from the show, Drake calls attention to an audience member holding a sign. The sign reads, “Drake, I spent my furniture money on your two shows.” After reading it aloud, he announces that he’ll be giving the fan a huge gift in return for their dedication. “You know what my man, your furniture money? I’m gonna give you 50 bands,” he told them. As expected, the crowd went wild. The Canada-born performer went on to give a motivational message to his fans, explaining why we should treat others with kindness.

Drake’s Inspirational Message

“Hey, listen,” he began. “This is what life is about. I’m trying to teach you something now. I want you to understand something tonight. You never know what the next person is going through. You never know what the person in front of you, to the left of you, to the right of you, behind you, is going through.”

This was far from the first time Drake was feeling generous while on tour. During his first “It’s All A Blur” tour stop in Vegas last week, he surprised another lucky fan with a luxury gift. While onstage he scanned the crowd holding a lime Chanel bag, and eventually handed it over to a woman in the front row. It’s clear that she appreciated his act of kindness. The tour is scheduled to continue into October, with performances in Houston, Miami, Atlanta, and more. Keep an eye on HNHH for more news and updates on Drake.
