by

The prices for items at MoneyBagg Yo’s new restaurant, Cach’e 42 Kitchen and Cocktails, are dividing fans on social media. The rapper opened the venue in his hometown of Memphis at the end of March. Controversially, the 40oz Tomahawk Steak runs patrons $135 and comes with no sides.

“MoneyBagg Yo restaurante so man high!! Do he not remember when he was starving in them apartments?? BFFR [two cry laughing emojis],” one person wrote, as noted by Neighborhood Talk. Another argued that if the steak is high enough quality, then it’s worth the price. “The price ain’t the issue,” they wrote. “It’s what quality of food imma get for that price cause ion trust moneybagg to cook me a $135 steak.” One more joked, “Moneybagg want $100 for a steak, I’ll pay that and he better come out and rap.”

Lil Baby Casually Strolls Through Target

by

You never know when you might run into your favorite celebrity at a supermarket or department store. Moreover, fans just ran into Lil Baby and Rylo Rodriguez stopping by Target, seemingly for some snacks with their crew. In the short clip that surfaced on social media, you can see some encouraged fans circling around the Atlanta MC and his entourage, while they seem to be mostly leaving him alone. Furthermore, celebrities- rappers especially- might find themselves in a position where they’re surrounded by a mob and can’t even move two feet without someone in their face.

Still, the 28-year-old is very appreciative of his fanbase, and wanted to give them something back this summer. In an exciting development, Lil Baby recently announced a summer tour with the aforementioned Rylo, GloRilla, The Kid LAROI, Gloss Up, and Hunxho. The “It’s Only Us” trek will last from late June to mid-late September, and will hit cities all across the United States. Given Baby’s elevated profile and star power, it wouldn’t be surprising to see additional dates come through. Regardless, tickets went live on Thursday (April 13), so snag yours quick if you want to hear “Freestyle” live- because you need to.

Lil Baby & Rylo Rodriguez Stroll Through Target

Other than that, there are plenty of other reasons to be excited for the 4PF leader’s next move that go beyond his regular career movement. For example, rumors recently surfaced of a collaborative album dropping soon between Lil Baby and none other than Drake. Said speculation came mostly from Black Coffee, a producer who worked on Drizzy’s Honestly, Nevermind who said that the duo is working together on a full-length project. That’s very promising news for fans of “Wants and Needs” and other of their collabs, which usually seem to bring out the best in each other.

Meanwhile, Lil Baby continues to reap the benefits of his successful career up to this point. Recently, the RIAA officially gifted him a platinum plaque for his 2022 album It’s Only Me, signifying the project selling over 1 million album equivalent units. While many point to an inconsistent track record, all of Baby’s career moves point to a continued spot among the upper echelon on contemporary hip-hop. For that and many more reasons, let a man shop in peace when you spot him at a Target. Also, for the latest updates and news on Lil Baby, log back into HNHH.

You got thousands of people claiming who they are and tickets and things like that,” he said. “This man needed everybody. He didn’t need everybody when he’s not here, he needed everybody when he was here. We have to learn to celebrate each other while we’re here … I don’t want y’all to show up to my shit when I’m gone, unless you was showing up while I was here.”

“50 years old? I’m convinced Pharrell is immortal,” one user posted, while another tweeted: “Pharrell is 50 years old Today and still looking like a 25 year old.” Another further wrote: “Pharrell is FIFTY?!?!

As for how Pharrell maintains his young look, he explained his skincare routine during a 2017 interview with Dazed. “I exfoliate like a madman,” he said at the time. “When you exfoliate and you drink a lot of water, that does good for you. To me, the key is just exfoliating, like a monster. There’s a lot of dead skin. All the time. Like a narcissistic madman.” In the years since, Pharrell has launched his own Humanrace skincare line.

In addition to celebrating his birthday this month, Pharrell will also be celebrating his legendary career at the 2023 Grammys on the Hill Awards.

Ralph Northam to make Juneteenth a paid state holiday. The Grammys on the Hill Awards will be held in Washington, D.C. on April 26.

Mod Sun thanked his fans for saving his life on stage at a recent concert, citing their support amid his split from Avril Lavigne. At one recent show, the crowd chanted “Fuck Tyga.” Lavigne has gone out on multiple dates with Tyga in the time since her breakup with Mod Sun.

“Ya’ll fucking saved my goddamn life for the last six weeks,” Mod Sun said onstage in a video published by TMZ. “If any of y’all are going through some shit right now, whether it be heartbreak, depression, addiction, anxiety, maybe you just have a negative voice in your head right now, I want you to know the one thing I have learned in the last almost four years: Do not be afraid to ask for help. So, thank you for helping me. It’s time for a new chapter.”

News of Mod Sun and Lavigne’s breakup broke in February 2023. They had been engaged for nearly one year. Mod Sun spoke candidly about the split in a post on social media at the time, admitting it came as a surprise to him. “In 1 week my entire life completely changed…I just know there’s a plan for it all,” he wrote. “I’ll keep my head up + always listen to my heart, even when it feels broken [broken heart emoji]. Being surrounded by love every night on tour has been an absolute blessing. I have the best friends in the entire world, thanks for always having my back. See you on stage.”

The breakoff occurred right as Mod Sun took off for a tour to promote his most recent album, God Save the Teen. On the project, there’s a track titled “Avril’s Song” as well as a collaboration between the two on “Shelter.” “She blew me a kiss, And I didn’t wanna blow my brains out anymore,” he sings during the song. “And she is everything I’m not. Without her, I am lost.”

Megan Thee Stallion Out-Twerked By Male Fan, Links Up With Shania Twain At The CMAs

by

She’s only just getting used to being back outside after a few months out of the spotlight, but already, Megan Thee Stallion is as booked and busy as ever. To kick off her weekend, the Hot Girl Coach gave her first performance of 2023 in her hometown on Friday (March 31), which saw her twerking skills put to shame by a fan. While many female lovers of the rap diva have been known to show what their knees can do, this time around, it was a man who broke the internet with his behind.

In a video that’s circulating online, Thee Stallion and a group of Hotties dance along to one of her twerk-worthy anthems. Many of those surrounding the “Big Ole Freak” hitmaker are women who had their booties bouncing along to the beat. At one point, she turned around to give the audience a view of her cheeks clapping, at which time she noticed a man on the stage who was making his presence felt with his dance moves. After noticing his talent, Meg quickly moved out of the way to hype the entertainer up while he continued to shake every ounce of junk in his trunk.

Megan Thee Stallion’s Twerking Put to Shame by Fan

Since @theneighborhoodtalk shared the clip on Sunday (March 2), countless users have been leaving hilarious comments. “He been practicing in the mirror for this very moment 😂!” one person joked. “He threw it in a circle better than most of us chile 😂😂,” and “Ok McLovin! 🗣🙌🙌🙌,” others later quipped. Even from just the brief footage, we can tell that Thee Stallion’s return to the stage was obviously exactly what she and her fanbase hoped it would be after a tumultuous end to 2022.

To end her weekend, the 28-year-old stepped out for another public appearance while celebrating country music. For tonight’s annual CMA Awards, she donned a ’70s disco-inspired look, consisting of a custom Defience blue dress that markedly comes complete with a sultry hip cutout and large white buckle. As has become tradition lately, her hair was worn in a bold afro, and perfectly matched by her giant hoop earrings. Keep scrolling to catch photos of Megan Thee Stallion and her Canadian friend, Shania Twain, at the event. Make sure to check back later for more pop culture news updates.

You ain’t gonna say it to my face, but you’ll talk about me when I’m gone. Your toes probably look like that, too, but you got nail polish on. When I seen all those tweets, you can’t imagine how I felt. I get pedicures but my feet still dry. So don’t laugh, send help. Stop talking about my feet, ‘cause that shit ain’t funny. Y’all keep making jokes about my feet, but bitch I got money.”

It continues: “When I log online I seen all types of disrespect, bunch of n****s talking shit. Not one nail tech. Talking crazy about Wiz Khalifa, like your shit so neat. Look down past your phone and take a picture of your own damn feet. Stop making jokes about my feet, because that shit ain’t funny. Y’all keep making jokes about my feet, but bitch I got money.”

The jokes come as Wiz made his acting debut in the new film, Spinning Gold. The film follows Casablanca Records founder Neil Bogart and features Wiz as George Clinton.
