Tinashe stated she was unhappy about working with R. Kelly, calling the moment embarrassing. In an interview, Tinashe stated working with Chris Brown was also a label decision that she was not happy about. The statement caught Chris Brown’s attention, who offered a response.
During a visit to the Zach Sang show, Tinashe revealed that she treats her single with R. Kelly like it never happened, claiming she never wanted to do it.
“I literally block out that R. Kelly song from my mind,” Tinashe said. “I forget that it even exists. That is so embarrassing. That is so unreal that I even have a song with R. Kelly. That’s so embarrassing.”
Tinashe revealed that the moment was while she was young and signed a label, before she expressed regret in working with Chris Brown too. “That was a song that we all wanted to be this big moment, this big single.”
Halle Berry isn’t feeling a picture of her being slimed during a Nickelodeon event is the cover art for Drake and SZA’s new single “Slime You Out.”
After the song’s release, Halle posted an image on Instagram that reads, “Sometimes you have to be the bigger guy…even if you’re a woman!”
A fan questioned the statement, to which she responded, “didn’t get my permission. That’s not cool I thought better of him!” In a separate comment, she wrote, “When people you admire disappoint you you have to be the bigger person and move on!”
Drake has not responded to Halle Berry’s criticism.
The Los Angeles Clippers have ended their pursuit of disgruntled Philadephia 76ers guard James Harden. According to ESPN’s Brian Windhorst, the Clippers called off the deal during negotiations.
“[The Clippers] tried to trade for James Harden, and that deal didn’t happen,” Windhorst said. “And from what I understand, it was the Clippers who said, ‘Okay, there’s no deal here. We’re gonna move on.’ And while I assume that they could certainly make a deal midseason, I assume that this is what they’re gonna go with.”
This now sets to bring a reluctact Harden into Sixers training camp, making for an unsettling group experience.
James Harden does not like the stories that were released about him over the past couple of days. Hitting Instagram, Harden released an Instagram story blasting the main report from ESPN.
Harden has openly expressed his desire to be traded from the Sixers, claiming the Los Angeles Clippers are his preferred landing spot.
In a new story on ESPN, Senior Writer Ramona Shelburne details a rocky season in the city of Brotherly Love, where some of his behavior put off then-coach Doc Rivers and Harden’s teammates.
In mid-December, Rivers lit into Harden for taking the final three shots in regulation of a double-overtime loss to the young and lottery-bound-again Rockets, sources said. It wasn’t that Rivers didn’t trust Harden to take the final three shots — he had allowed him to run the offense and call his own number on the final play of regulation by not calling a timeout following a defensive rebound. It’s that the Rockets had no answer for Embiid (39 points) all night and Harden wasn’t shooting well (4-for-19).
When questioned in the film session, Harden demurred, saying he just couldn’t get the ball to Embiid, sources said. These flare-ups between Harden and Rivers continued throughout the season.

After dropping back-to-back games to East contenders, Harden took an early flight to Miami, separate from the team, to enjoy nightlife. The move was stated to be a common practice for Harden but did not sit well with his teammates. A team meeting followed, leading to a win against the HEAT but a run that would include another second-round playoff ousting and Rivers being fired. The main reason Rivers is tossed is believed to be because Harden didn’t want to play for him in the future.
The NBA has fined James Harden $100,000 for August 14 and 17 comments against Daryl Morey and calling for a trade. The NBA’s note states Harden’s comments lead to believe he would not perform under his contract unless he plays for a team different than the Philadelphia 76ers.
The NBA revealed they investigated Harden, including an interview, before arriving at their final decision.
Last month, the Philadelphia 76ers called off all trade talks involving James Harden and stated they would expect Harden to be at training camp. Early Monday morning, NBA Insider Shams Charania shared a video from Harden’s China tour for Adidas in which he blasts 76ers president Daryl Morey. Morey and Harden have a relationship dating back to the Houston Rockets.
“Daryl Morey is a liar and I will never be a part of an organization that he’s a part of,” Harden told those gathered. “Let me say that again: Daryl Morey is a liar and I will never be a part of an organization that he’s a part of.”

On Saturday, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski ended trade talks for Harden, who has a preferred destination of the Los Angeles Clippers. Harden picked up his $35.6 million player option but the Sixers’ request for Harden was too high for most bidders.

Throughout the run of the YSL Rico trial, fans have wondered what role Gunna has played in Young Thug’s continued stay in jail. After Gunna was freed on an Alford Plea, rumors ran rampant that he snitched on Thugger. Young Thug’s father offers some context.
Gunna maintained his innocence against snitching allegations and continued to call for the release of Young Thug. Appearing in an interview with Infamous Sylvia, Young Thug’s father, Jeffrey Williams Sr., stated he loves Gunna.
“Let me try to help the attorney clarify that a little simpler,” Williams Sr. said. “Gunna hasn’t done anything whatsoever that can hurt us on this case, period.”

Kevin Liles hit Gunna‘s Barclays last weekend. In an Instagram post, Kevin Liles celebrated the performance while continuing to support the movement to free Young Thug.
“What a night with the fam at Barclays!” Liles wrote. “@Gunna’s Wun Night Only was everything we needed and more. #SayLessDoMore #FreeJeffery #ProtectBlackArt“
Gunna returned to the stage, his first headlining performance in two years. Taking over the Barclays Center, Gunna presented The Gift Show. The album carries part of the A Gift & A Curse album, which dropped in July and hit No. 3 on the Billboard 200.
During his time on the stage, Gunna had Free Jeffrey illuminated on the giant screens in the arena. You can see the visual below.
During a June 2022 hearing, Kevin Liles, CEO of 300 Entertainment, took the stand and testified that Thug, who is signed to his label, is “like a son,” and he was willing to put up his own wealth and business to secure his bond. Machine Gun Kelly also provided character testimony on Thug’s behalf.

This past summer, the battle rap world was in shambles when rumors swirled that Terror Squad rapper Remy Ma was cheating on her husband Papoose with battle rapper Eazy the Block Captain. Social media reported that an alleged altercation occurred where Pap jumped Eazy at Remy’s battle rap showcase Chrome 23. Now the rumors are circulating again after Eazy the Block Captain battled Geechi Gotti in an explosive battle where Geechi called out Remy Ma for betraying her marriage to Papoose.
6ix9ine, Kodak Black, and Yailin La Mas Viral came through with one of the most controversial collabs of the year with “Shaka Laka” back in July. Moreover, that backlash has nothing to do with the song itself and everything to do with the Kodak feature. Many expressed their distaste for the Florida artist working with Tekashi, who received an eternal “anti-snitch” stamp from most of the rap world. Another topic of conversation was Yak’s $1 million paycheck for it, which the rainbow-haired rapper denied came from him directly in a new interview. Apparently, their link-up was all to promote a vape brand that put up all the money for the release.
“Yeah, I didn’t pay him,” 6ix9ine told the interviewer when they asked about the million-dollar verse. “There’s a whole company called Fum, right? There’s whole videos, pictures, bank statements. Literally, there’s videos online of this company saying ‘Listen, this is a collab song for our vapes.’ They’re holding a check, taking a picture with it, it’s everywhere. ‘Yo, 6ix9ine paid a million dollars for Kodak.’ No, it was their song, they paid the million dollars.
“They had an idea,” 6ix9ine continued. “Like I said, music doesn’t excite me; creating does. They wanted it to be a success. I said ‘Listen, I can make it happen.’ That’s how they wanted it, you know what I mean? They wanted noise, they want the controversy, they wanted their vapes in the video. You put the money behind it, and you get what you ask for.” What’s more is that Wack 100, his manager, also boasted about the million dollars and promoted it on social media.
Meanwhile, people are still referencing the track and trash-talking both artists for it, albeit for different reasons. Maybe you don’t hear it on the aux very often, but no matter the case, they stirred up a lot of conversation and attention with it. Such is the formula for the “GUMMO” provocateur, and we’d be shocked if this is the last instance of it. With that in mind, come back to HNHH for more news and the latest updates on 6ix9ine and Kodak Black.
