Halo Hilariously Indicates That His Dad DDG Doesn’t Have The Best Hygiene

by

DDG and Halle Bailey love to show off their son Halo on social media, although sometimes, they might want to make sure that he can’t inadvertently make fun of them for the ‘Gram. Moreover, the former was recently recording his son as they both just chilled out on a bed, and Halo put on a hilarious “stank face” after smelling his dad’s armpit. In fact, he even let out an audible “Ugh.” It was pretty hilarious and follows some other viral moments featuring the near-one-year-old, even as the drama between his recently split parents continues to go up and down.

Fortunately, it seems like things are much better for DDG and Halle Bailey these days, and it’s great that they can stay connected and support each other through Halo. Also, that certainly is a plus when they face a lot of trolls and nasty online comments via social media, such as a lot of clowning when the former shaved his facial hair off. The important thing is to just recognize when to present a united front against the haters and when to instead advocate for yourself in the relationship.

Halo Seems To Think His Dad DDG Is Stinky

For example, Halle Bailey and DDG recently faced a situation that involved both of these aspects regarding their son Halo. When the latter took the little one to Kai Cenat’s stream without Halle’s permission, she expressed a lot of frustration. While she eventually apologized for this pop-off, the Michigan rapper defended her from the critics online, explaining that she’s fully within her right to advocate for herself. So not only did they have to come to an agreement on a private matter that became public, but they also had to make sure not to conflate their frustrations with fans’ hateful remarks.

Meanwhile, some folks think that DDG and Halle Bailey are rekindling their romance, but if Halo has anything to say about it, he’d probably recommend his pops a better deodorant before trying again. Jokes aside, we’re sure plenty more adorable content will come from them no matter what relationship status they pursue. Hopefully their child brings them closer together and not further apart.

Young Thug’s Father Blasts Fake Love From Other Rappers After Son’s Release From Prison

by

Jeffery Williams Sr., the father of Young Thug, has a lot to say about his son’s recent release from jail following two years of incarceration over the YSL RICO case. Readers may remember that he previoulsy blasted one of the probation conditions that Thugger received, namely his ban from the metro Atlanta area without proper permission. However, Williams Sr. also has issues with how the hip-hop world responded to the Atlanta rapper’s freedom. During a recent podcast appearance, he called out rappers who tried to link with Thug after his prison release but didn’t do what they could’ve done in his eyes while he was actually in prison.

“We got all these rappers and everybody trying to find Young Thug,” Jeffery Williams Sr. expressed. “They want to talk to Young Thug, they want to this, that, and the other. Where your a** been for 29 months? Why y’all a** ain’t been out there protesting for his constitutional rights being violated? Y’all are the ones considered to be the influencers. Ain’t influencing s**t. Where y’all been? Y’all been quiet for 29 months. But now everybody want to be seen. Everybody want to try to get a chance to talk to him, this, that, and the third. For what? Let’s make it make sense.”

Young Thug’s Father Speaks Out

In addition, Young Thug’s father posited that people are clout-chasing with their current support of him when they could’ve been much clearer in their efforts from the jump. He also brought up the other people involved in the YSL RICO case and how they needed support as well, specifically mentioning Atlanta artists. Jeffery Williams Sr. also suggested that his son would do this for these peers, but that they aren’t returning the favor.

Finally, Jeffery Williams Sr. specifically called out T.I. for allegedly not manifesting an event in support of Young Thug that Williams Sr. asked for. As such, he expressed surprise at how Tip and Thug linked up shortly after his release from prison. Overall, this was a plea to keep things real and genuine. But since the Slime Season 3 artist hasn’t spoken out about this, it’s hard to make a true judgement call.

Dame Dash Under Fire For His Hot Take About Parenting

by

Dame Dash is taking care of a lot of family matters these days. For example, he recently revealed why he waited longer than others would’ve to evacuate Florida with his family due to the passage of Hurricane Milton. Now, the Roc-A-Fella executive divided fans with his hot take about parenting. Basically, he doesn’t want his son to be more influenced by his mother’s “feminine” sensibilities, although his overall point isn’t as hot-button as this specific statement.

“How can I let him hang out with somebody but his dad?” Dame Dash said on Instagram Live with his son alongside him. “Don’t let another man be his influence. Or even let, you know, his mother be the one that is his strongest influence and have him doing feminine stuff. You know what I mean? We a man right here, right? Give me five. We know how to take – don’t leave me hanging, give me five. Alright, then. We know our job, you know what I mean? You know, I have to lead by example in front of him.” Check out reactions to Dame’s take in the comments section of the Instagram post below.

“It’s important because I’m the source of, like, inspiration, or at least, you know, his definition of what a man is and what he sees,” Dame Dash continued. “So I got to make sure he sees the right stuff, and that he gets the nice swag. I don’t tell him to wear a bucket. He makes me wear a bucket hat, right? And you like your Hot Wheels and all that, your cars? You like the country club life? He picked all that, not us. He swims he does all that. So I’m having a ball, I’m not going to hold you. And I want to lead by example. I want to show y’all.”

Elsewhere, Dame Dash is also dealing with issues with his former chosen family. If you haven’t heard by now, his auction of his Reasonable Doubt shares from Roc-A-Fella as a result of a court-ordered judgement collection is still in limbo. This is due to a legal dispute involving the state of New York and Jay-Z and his team, and there’s no telling where it will end up. Let us know what you think about this parenting take in the comments section down below.

Rich Homie Quan’s Son Emotively Raps Along To His Music Onstage At Funeral

by

Rich Homie Quan received a touching tribute in Atlanta at a heartfelt funeral service on Tuesday (September 17) from his family, loved ones, friends, colleagues, and fans. It was a sad affair, but a heartening one nonetheless as those mourning his loss could find some closure and celebrate his life. One particular example came when the rapper’s son rapped along to his father’s track “Milk Marie” with Rich Gang, which was a passionate display. Other MCs like Killer Mike were also in attendance, and offered some parting words for Quan at the large ceremony spearheaded by the late artist’s father Corey Lamar.

Furthermore, this wasn’t the only way in which the city of Atlanta paid tribute to their hometown star. The city also declared September 17 as Rich Homie Quan Memorial Day to commemorate his life and the funeral service held at World Changers Church International in South Fulton. This also comes amid the release of his posthumous track “Song Cry,” a more emotive and reflective cut than what many fans had heard from him in the past.

Rich Homie Quan’s Son’s Performance

Other than Rich Homie Quan’s son, many other of his loved ones paid tribute to him, including his partner Amber Williams. “This has to be the toughest thing I’ve ever endured,” she captioned an Instagram post with various photos. “Don’t even know how to gather my words. When I met you I had no idea how our life was gonna change for the good. You got locked up & that time apart brought us closer. Fast forward, on the rise of your career I knew what I signed up for. No one could tell me anything about you, I wasn’t going for it. Support is an understatement!

“You worked your a** off & I finally convinced you that we need to start vacationing in which we did,” she added concerning Rich Homie Quan. “Always made sure you be an active father to all your kids. I couldn’t treat you like an artist because you’re still human. My 1st love & my last. I can’t question God but I can call on him just like I could call on you. You had so much more to do but it’s on us to keep your name alive. I’m hurt, devastated, numb, angry, disappointed, just flat out numb. I do know one thing for certain is that I gave you your flowers while you were here with us & I did my part!”
Rest In Peace Rich Homie Quan.

Antonio Brown Welcomes Baby Boy With Model Cydney Moreau

by

Former NFL star wide receiver Antonio Brown is a father once again. On Tuesday, Brown shared a video of mother, model Cydney Moreau, and new son Ace. Ace is Brown’s seventh child and was born on July 21. His oldest child, Antonio Brown Jr., was born in 2007.

On July 21, the internet reacted to the news that Antonio Brown welcomed his seventh child. NFL news aggregator Dov Kleiman shared a photo of Brown and the newborn on X (formerly Twitter) and a congratulatory note. Brown already had a large family of six kids: four sons and two daughters. Three sons and one daughter are with Chelsie Kyriss (Apollo, Ali, and Autonomy Brown). He also has a son, the aforementioned Antonio Brown Jr., with ex-girlfriend Shameika Brailsford. Additionally, he has another daughter with a former partner, Wiltrice Jackson.

Antonio Brown Is Now A Father Of 7

So, now, the internet seems divided. Some offer congratulations, while others express concern for the “poor baby” entering this situation. Brown has been known for his erratic behavior, especially in recent years. He is also navigating financial issues. After making over $80 million in his playing days, Brown struggled to make child support payments for the daughter he had with Wiltrice Jackson last year.

For Antonio Brown, in the midst of welcoming a new child, lawsuits are piling up. Brown reportedly owes nearly $8 million to various creditors. The biggest chunk, $1.2 million, goes to a Florida truck driver who sued AB for assault and battery back in 2020. Brown skipped the court date, so the judge ruled in the driver’s favor. Brown filed for bankruptcy in May, claiming to have only $50,000 or less in assets. However, he may be playing more of a strategic game with his bankruptcy filing. One that involves him avoiding repayment to those he owes money to. He made several investments with Floyd Mayweather in Florida’s real estate. Additionally, he owns a gym in Florida called 84/7 Fitness. He’s building a small empire while also trying to get through financial struggle. Hopefully, Ace has people who can provide for him as newborns need to be provided for, whether it ends up being Brown himself or someone else.

Logic Emotionally Confronts His Father For Massive $850K Home Request

by

More money, more problems is a very resonant statement when you really analyze it. No matter where you are on the socioeconomic scale, different issues will come with it. With Logic being in the top percentile of earners, he has to deal with providing for others and making correct big business decisions. This is something that the Maryland MC has spoken about quite frequently. He has been a pretty open book about his rough upbringing in a crowded household. Logic’s father, Sir Robert Bryson Hall, has especially been a sensitive topic. Their relationship has been rocky, to say the least.

Logic has talked about his father asking him to fork over massive amounts of money in interviews with numerous publications. He even brought his dad onstage during a tour performance to officially sign him to Bobby Boy Records, to financially take care of him. Which is why this latest sit-down with his caretaker is not too surprising.

Logic Gets Real With His Father

The veteran lyricist got quite passionate with his dad about the time he once asked his son to give him $850,000 for a house. His dad is/was in a band and wanted a place where they could record music together. Logic told his father that he did not want to do it because he did not want to see him waste it. But all these issues Logic had extended beyond his dad. Because of how many siblings he has, he has been fed up with seeing them waste the funds he has handed out to them. Hence why his father never received crazy amounts. But, Logic still has a lot of love for his pops, making that clear throughout the clip above. It sounds like Logic never really got to have this sort of conversation with him before. Hopefully, things can smooth themselves out, and their relationship can be stronger than it has been.

What are your thoughts on Logic talking to his father about their problems on the internet face to face? Was this a smart thing to do, why or why not? Did you know Logic had issues with his family like this? Do you think this is something that will come up in his next album, Ultra 85? 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 hottest takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Logic.

Boosie Badazz Trolls His Son After Rough Night At The Club

by

Boosie Badazz and his son have a pretty lax and grounded relationship when it comes to substances and partying out on the town. For example, he recently chastised Tootie Raww for always smoking no matter the occasion, although he did so in a pretty light and teasing manner. Moreover, the Baton Rouge rapper just added another chapter to that story after his son went a little bit too hard at the club. He published a video on social media of him seemingly throwing up out of an open car door, and responding to his colleagues and his fathers’ mocking jabs. Even though the 41-year-old would’t want Tootie to go through this, he’s at least there for him when he needs him, albeit while taking advantage of the moment for some social media laughs.

Furthermore, a lot of people debated whether this is the right thing to do as a parent. Some folks online believe that no father should expose his son in this way, while others remarking that this is just another way of showing love and enjoying the moment despite someone feeling not so well. Regardless, Boosie Badazz is much happier to deal with his son not holding his liquor on a club night than getting involved in the streets. On that note, we’re sure most folks agree that they’d rather throw up in front of their dad rather than commit crimes under his eye.

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

Of course, apparently Tootie Raww’s made a lot of money from “trapping,” so there’s only so much a parent can do. Still, Boosie’s cheeky jokes and breezy response to this might throw you back to when another authority figure helped you while you felt sick. Hopefully you had a similar experience to this and not a harsher reality. We may read too deep into this, but it’s a reminder that no matter what a parent thinks of their child’s life, they should always be there, even in small ways.

Meanwhile, the Trill Entertainment affiliate recently reflected on almost signing with Suge Knight before his jail stint. It’s interesting to think about what could’ve been of his career, but we’re glad that things worked out the way they are. After all, perhaps Badazz wouldn’t have been there to help his son with this and so much more. For more news and the latest updates on Boosie, check back in with HNHH.

Zaytoven’s Son Zayskii Unleashes His First Project “I’m The One”

by

Last month, HNHH had the absolute pleasure in speaking with the iconic trap producer, Zaytoven. His featured interview was a part of our Advent Calendar. It was a 25-day event on the site in which we had one unique feature piece each day of December up until Christmas Day for those who celebrate. In the chat we discussed a whole bunch of topics surrounding the landscape of hip-hop to what he has going on in his career.

One of the interesting things that came up was that his son, who goes by Zayskii, was going to be coming out with his debut project. He also feels that he is uber talented and become a true superstar. “I have a son that I feel like is a real dope artist and can produce for me. I sit and watch him in my studio and he go down there and make beats and record songs all day and I listen like, ‘dang you got the gift without me even shadowing you all the time. You almost know more stuff than I know.’”

Well, the time has come for Zayskii to step forward and show what he has got to offer. He does so in the form of seven-song project, I’m The One. All of the tracks have production from Zaytoven and maybe even Zayskii as well. He raps on every track (obviously), and has some features from Rocco and tana. See what the 18-year-old has got with the links above.

What are your initial thougths on this brand-new album, I’m The One, by Zaytoven and Zayskii? Will his son become the next big time rapper within the following couple of years? Which songs are you gravitating toward the most after the first few listens? Does Zayskii’s sound remind you of anyone else’s, or is he unique? Who should he work with going forward? 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 hottest takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news around Zaytoven and Zayskii. Finally, stay with us for the most informative album posts throughout the week.

Boosie Badazz Wants His Son Tootie Raww To Smoke Less Weed

by

Boosie Badazz is spending a lot of time with his family this holiday season, gifting them a whole lot and having a great time together. However, these outings and parties are also showing him just how much his son Tootie Raww is smoking these days, which caused some concern. “He gon’ turn into a weed plant,” the Baton Rouge MC said on IG Live on Thursday (December 28). This was when he asked where Tootie was and someone replied that he was outside the house smoking in his car. Still, at least the Trill Entertainment affiliate admitted that he was probably the same when he was young, so he knows there’s plenty that could change.

“He a weed plant with shoes on,” Boosie continued. “Everything revolves around smoking. I was just like that, I can’t talk.” “The first thing you do in the morning, huh?” he asked Tootie when he found him outside in his car. The 41-year-old’s son laughed it off, saying that he didn’t even notice his dad, so it seems like it’s not really that serious of an issue. Still, it’s good that Badazz is keeping an eye out for his kid, even if he’s getting older. After all, it’s never too early or too late to quit.

Furthermore, Boosie is also looking out for Tootie when it comes to his feud with NBA YoungBoy and Kodak Black. “I wouldn’t know what to do if my son get a murder charge,” he said on IG Live. “I gotta stop him from crashing out. Then it worry me more all them lil n***as around him clutching. It’s easy for something to happen. Got me worried as a daddy. You got s**t around you, everybody clutching. That’s how that s**t happen.”

Meanwhile, Raww is happy to boast about his earnings from “trapping” online, so he’s still going through growing pains in the industry and media limelight. Hopefully it doesn’t result in any negative developments or behavioral patterns. But with the “Wipe Me Down” artist watching over him, maybe he will know exactly how he can reach his son through the things he faced, too. For more news and the latest updates on Boosie Badazz, keep checking in with HNHH.
