Drake & Lil Yachty Troll Each Other’s Parenting Under Drizzy’s Adorable Adonis Post

by

Drake is always a proud father online, and recently posted some adorable content with his son Adonis on his Instagram. Moreover, the post includes a clip of Drizzy getting his mom a new watch, and asking his five-year-old why he said he doesn’t want it (it’s apparently too expensive). In addition, he also included a picture of him tending to Adonis’ braids, which actually caught the attention of one of his famous friends. Lil Yachty hit the comments with a funny message: “It’s no way your sitting here acting like your braiding his hair for the internet.” In his equally comical response, the Canadian superstar went perhaps a little harder that he had to on the Atlanta pioneer out of context.

“I was unbraiding it b***h,” Drake replied in the comments section of his adorable IG post. “Your son said you ain’t hit him in 6 months on his finsta he said he need some Jordans and a backpack for school.” For the sake of Yachty and his son (who we’re not sure if he even exists), we hope that the 6 God is mostly joking. Maybe he meant to refer to his daughter and not a son, but even then, she would be about two years old as of this comments exchange.

Drake’s Cute Adonis Post Gets Troll Comment From Lil Yachty

Regardless, it was still pretty funny to see these two best friends go back and forth over what should’ve been just a normally wholesome post. Of course, it’s far from the first time they’ve teased each other online, although they hadn’t involved their parenting skills for a long time. For example, Lil Yachty had a hilarious response to the following Drake-written caption on Instagram. “Least you can do is introduce me to the new you or the old clone or whatever she’s called,” he captioned. “But you expected me to know who she was all along. They used to banish ppl from towns for things smaller then what you’re on.”

“Y’all what do dis n***a be talkin bout?!” Lil Yachty responded. “Load of blabber!!!! am I right [!?].” We’ll see what other online antics these two and their kids get up to in the future. For more news and the latest updates on Lil Yachty and Drake, come back to HNHH.

The pair are seen hugging, going on a trip, and in one video Choppa’s daughter playfully slaps him.

Dozens of the post’s top comments identify their favorite moments, mostly the adorable slap. “why she slap the sh*t outta you😭,”says one commenter. “the slap n the “googoo gaga” is cute aslll,” says another.

NLE Choppa’s social media presence has gotten quite a bit of attention recently. Yesterday, he mused on following in the footsteps of artists like Dr. Dre and selling his musical catalog. While Choppa seemed to think he could sell his catalog for $1 billion, many fans disputed that number. The skeptics seemed to be proven right when Nelly, whose discography includes four number-one singles, sold for just $50 million earlier today.

NLE Choppa With His Daughter

All day today NLE Choppa has been battling fans on social media. Last night he posted a video showing his support for rapper Sexyy Red. The pair collaborated on a remix of Choppa’s hit song “Slut Me Out.” Despite him not mincing words in his endorsement of the breakout star, fans still took issue. In fact, comments left by fans critiquing his parenting are part of what led him to make the Instagram post with his daughter today.

NLE Choppa released his new album Cottonwood 2 earlier this year. The album featured guest verses from 2rare, Lil Wayne, Lola Brooke, Fivio Foreign, Kevin Gates, G Herbo, Rick Ross, and more. The album spawned a pretty big hit in the track “DO IT AGAIN” with 2rare. The deluxe edition of the album also included his Sexyy Red collaboration “Slut Me Out.” What do you think of NLE Choppa’s new videos with his daughter? Let us know in the comment section below.

Ice T “So Much More Connected” To Youngest Daughter Than Other Children

by

Ice T revealed in a recent interview that he has been a better father to his youngest daughter. As opposed to how he has been to his other two children. When the actor and rapper appeared on That Moment with Daymond John, the two discussed his relationships with his three children. He explained how his life circumstances were much different when he had his other children. Subsequently leading him to become “so much more connected” to his youngest daughter, Chanel. He went on to call it “a beautiful thing.”

Ice T describes having his oldest daughter, Letesha, when he was in high school and reveals that he wasn’t around. “I was rippin’ and running,” he explains, “It was presents over presence.” He went on to share how he was just starting to become famous when he had his son Tracy. This caused him to be “distracted” during his childhood. Ice T revealed that by the time he had Chanel with his wife Coco Austin in 2015, he was much better equipped to be a father. He says he was comfortable, and in “a cruise pattern,” consequently allowing him to be a more hands-on father to the now 7-year-old girl. He describes how he was able to go to the hospital with his pregnant wife. Moreover, he shared that Chanel still sleeps in the same bed with them.

Ice T Gets Criticized For His Parenting

Ice T’s interview led to criticism from listeners. Overall, some believe that it’s unfair to his other children for them to have experienced a less-than-ideal father-figure growing up. These commenters think that although the 65-year-old is embracing fatherhood now, he shouldn’t discuss this publicly for his other two children to hear. On the flip-side, other commenters believe it’s natural for him to have made a progression in his parenting abilities. They say that although the star couldn’t be his best with his first two children, he’s in the right for recognizing his behavior and shaping up for his most recent daughter.

The actor shared in a talk with Variety in February how he chose to stop making solo records because “the music got goofy to [him].” He explained that he no longer felt comfortable with the hip-hop genre. Subsequently, this led him to slow down when it came to his musical career.

Meanwhile, Weezy’s legacy seems more celebrated than ever. For one, he’ll perform at this year’s Grammys along with many other MCs to celebrate hip-hop’s 50th anniversary. Also, the New Orleans MC recently announced dates for the upcoming Welcome To Tha Carter tour. While hip-hop evolves and shifts and finds new exponents, those of Tunechi’s caliber define the game for years and years. Overall, huge props to the one and only Lil Wayne, and check back into HNHH for the latest news on his incredible career.

Fredo Bang has opened up about fathering a child with married couple, Annie and Sevyn. Speaking with VladTV, Fredo explained their relationship as well as how they met in Miami and immediately hit it off.

Fredo began by admitting he wouldn’t address the logistics of how the baby was conceived.

“I’m a gentleman. I’m not the type to disclose if I’m penetrating or navigating or what happens in my bedroom, you feel me?” he said. “Now listen, if any woman I’ve been with feel like telling what happens in my bed, that’s up to them, but I feel like it’s corny if I was to say if I’m penetrating or not, you feel me?”

From there, he explained that despite Annie and Sevyn raising the child, he’ll still always be there if needed.

“He my child too, being that this is his brother … They gon’ be together for life,” the rapper explained. “At the end of the day, that’s my child. I’m always gon’ look over him.”

“I feel like they helping me break down my wall and, you know, even like insecurities and self-esteem,” Fredo continued. “A lot of people don’t know I got bad self-esteem problems. They helping me get into an element that I’ve never been in before and more confident in myself … So being that I could see they was already good mothers, when I found out that’s what it was I wasn’t mad about it, you feel me?”

“I didn’t think I could have kids, actually. I just thought I’d probably just have one because, you know, everybody else be having kids.” Fredo added.

He continued: “I just, like, ‘Shit, I can’t have any.’ I just be happy, and then when I be away from them, I’m just sad. So I’m still trying to find my balance. I was scared because I’m like, ‘Man, I don’t think I’m mentally prepared to be a father because I’ll be at home and I ain’t doing nothing.’ I just look at a picture and I get sad, you feel me?”

Annie and Sevyn previously discussed their relationship with Fredo during an interview with The Shade Room. They also share another son, Parker, who Sevyn carried in 2021. Fredo is not his father.
