Benzino Reveals He’s In A Relationship By Putting An End To Flirty DMs

Benzino’s close relationships have not been the smoothest. Him and Coi Leray are not on talking terms, the former recently revealed. “It’s unfortunate. But, you know, we don’t communicate too much. The whole thing is surreal to me… I’m a smart guy but I can’t figure this one out”, he told the We In Miami podcast. He seems to be trying to be understanding, though, saying, “Coi is a young lady, she independent. This young generation, they don’t want their parents interfering with their lives, man. I have to learn to adapt to that and respect that”. He’s hopeful that they can reconvene and repair their now tumultuous situation.

For now, though, Benzino seems to be looking to make himself happy right now. A recent clip reshared onto Baller Alert‘s IG account reveals that the co-owner of Source is in a relationship. In the video, he never explicitly says her name, outside of nicknames like “baby” and that he’s “got a girl whom I love”. This big announcement has come to light though because he’s been receiving a lot of DMs from other women, he claims.

Since he’s committed, Benzino is nicely not accepting/looking at any more flirtatious messages. “I’m sorry, miss poor girl, but I got a girl. I don’t be looking at girls’ DMs and all that. No disrespect, but I got a girl whom I love, and I just don’t be doing it like that”. He continues to be appreciative, but makes it clear that he’s focused on the task at hand. “I’m flattered by all the compliments, and I appreciate the love, but I love my baby. I love my baby. I ain’t trying to mess none of that up”. Of course, though, trolls are not buying the DM portion of the story. “Who the hell is messaging this man???”. “He thought the sex bots were real 😭”. These are just few distasteful comments, but we are happy to see that Benzino is in love and wanting to stay the course.

What are your thoughts on Benzino now ignoring flirty DMs after announcing he’s in a relationship? Do you think trolls are being too harsh here, why or why not? Who do you think this mystery woman is? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Benzino. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the worlds of music and pop culture.

Pooh Shiesty’s Cardi B Crush May Have Formed Years Ago

Last week, Pooh Shiesty made headlines for a flirty comment he left for Cardi B during an Instagram Live. “I’m 5 mins away baby open the door,” he wrote simply. The femcee recently filed for divorce from her husband Offset after seven years together and is currently expecting their third child. It’s unclear whether or not Cardi is interested, but she’s yet to respond to the advance.

This isn’t the first time Pooh Shiesty has expressed interest in linking up with her, however. During an interview with Spotify’s “Rap Caviar,” for example, he listed her as a dream collaborator along with Lil Wayne. He went on to appear on Cigar Talk, where he once again said he wanted to collaborate. Sadly, it doesn’t look like this will happen anytime soon, as the rapper is currently behind bars.

Hopefully, Cardi will consider it when he gets out in a few years. While Pooh Shiesty’s flirty comment doesn’t exactly come as a surprise considering his past appreciation for Cardi B, it did seemingly prompt a response from her ex. Offset took to X as the message made its rounds online with a simple series of laughing emojis. This appears to suggest that he’s unbothered, though that’s unconfirmed. As for Cardi, she has a lot on her plate these days considering her pregnancy and pending divorce. Right now, for instance, she’s in the process of hunting for an apartment in New York.

She told fans on Instagram Live that she never liked living in Atlanta, despite her and her ex owning a home there. Cardi’s also working on her eagerly anticipated sophomore album, which does not yet have an official release date. What do you think of Pooh Shiesty shooting his shot with Cardi B last week? Are you surprised or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Pooh Shiesty Shamelessly Flirts With Cardi B Amid Offset Divorce

Late last month, Cardi B filed for divorce from her partner Offset after roughly seven years together. The hitmaker has yet to reveal what prompted this decision, though it appears as though the breakup was amicable. Shortly after that news was revealed, Cardi took to Instagram to announce that she was expecting her third child.

Nowadays, it seems like Cardi is hard at work getting ready for her child’s arrival, preparing her older kids for school, and more. She’s also finishing up her eagerly anticipated sophomore album. It’s unclear whether or not she’s looking to date right now, though she certainly has some potential suitors waiting for the right opportunity. During her recent Instagram Live, for example, Pooh Shiesty seemingly tried to shoot his shot.

“I’m 5 mins away baby open the door,” he wrote publicly. Of course, Pooh Shiesty is currently behind bars, so someone might be relaying this message for him. With that being said, Cardi would have some waiting to do if she took him up on his offer. Regardless, the flirty message has sparked plenty of jokes in Say Cheese‘s X replies, as fans speculate whether or not Cardi is interested. It’s possible that she’d prefer to just focus on herself and her family for the time being, particularly as her album draws closer.

The project does not yet have an official release date, but earlier this month, she revealed that she already has some potential album covers to pick from. Fans took this as a hint that it’s coming sooner rather than later, which remains to be seen. What do you think of Pooh Shiesty seemingly trying to shoot his shot with Cardi B? Do you think they’d make a good couple or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Melyssa Ford & Lucky Daye Share A Steamy Onstage Moment, Fans Wonder About Joe Budden’s Reaction

Lucky Daye is quite the impressive live performer, and the singer drove fans wild at a recent show with not just his buttery tone but with his special guest, the legendary video vixen (now best known as a co-host on The Joe Budden Podcast), Melyssa Ford. Moreover, she sat on a stool onstage while Daye serenaded her and put her hand on his stomach, with some more touchy-feely interactions leading to quite the steamy display. “This was not on my bingo card but HOOTIE F***ING HOOOOOO!!!” she captioned her Instagram video of the flirty moment. “@iamluckydaye at #radiocitymusichall. Me & the boys had a slice tonite! @joebudden @emannymusic.”

Actually, it’s pretty funny that she tagged Joe Budden, since a lot of fans started to joke and theorize as to how he and the rest of thee podcast’s cohort would respond to this Melyssa Ford and Lucky Daye moment. Maybe they will give Daye his props, tease Ford for appearing, or comment more about fans’ reactions to the whole thing. Either way, it should make for a pretty entertaining and interesting moment on the pod, at the very least. Who knows, maybe the Algorithm artist even pulls up to talk about the concert.

Of course, we know that these jest-heavy and more cheeky moments on The Joe Budden Podcast can result in some controversy from time to time. In fact, he and his male co-hosts faced recent backlash for their relentless teasing of Melyssa Ford during a recent podcast episode. Even though some folks made excuses about her being “one of the guys,” others suggested that these are indicative of more potentially harmful attitudes. Still, it’s a small moment to use as a generalizing tool, so it’s a futile effort either way.

In other Melyssa Ford news, Toccara Jones recently recalled when she and Melyssa Ford found out that they were dating Drake at the same time. “She was just telling me about her situation with the guy that she was dating and she went on to tell me it was Drake,” Jones recounted. “Instead of me telling her right then and there, I wanted to go talk to him first. This wasn’t the first time that me and Melyssa was seeing or talking to the same guy.”

During a recent interview with Lenny Kravitz, for example, she made it clear that he had her feeling some type of way.

“And I’m at a place where I’ve said this for several years, ‘I’m ready. I’m ready. I’m ready,’” he also added. “I wasn’t ready. I thought I was ready, right? But I can say that I’ve never felt how I feel now.” “That’s how I feel, too,” Gayle responded, indicating that they’re both on the same page. “Here’s to us Lenny Kravitz!” What do you think of Gayle King shooting her shot at Lenny Kravitz during their recent interview?

Sexyy Red’s NSFW Thirst Traps Leave Chief Keef In Awe

It’s no secret that Sexyy Red is a certified baddie, and evidently, she’s not afraid to show it. Earlier this week, the “SkeeYee” performer took to Instagram to unveil a sultry series of thirst traps, posing in a sheer dress and a pair of rhinestone-studded pasties. Of course, the jaw-dropping shots had her fans impressed. They even earned a reaction from one of her favorite collaborators, Chief Keef.

He took to her comments section to weigh in on the eye-catching photos, simply writing, “lil hot a**.” While it’s up for debate whether or not this was a playful jab or a genuine compliment, fans can agree that chiming in at all means she caught his eye. This isn’t the first time he had kind words for the “Get It Sexyy” rapper, however.

Toosii Puts Shaq On Blast For Wild DM To His Baby Mama

In recent days, photos of Shaq vacationing alongside his 21-year-old alleged”girlfriend” in Spain have been making their rounds online. While these photos have since been confirmed to be five years old, they’ve captured the attention of countless social media users. Toosii, for example, decided to chime in earlier today.

Instead of commenting on the rumored age gap relationship directly, the performer decided to share his own experience with the NBA icon. Apparently, Shaq once slid into the DMs of his girlfriend Samaria J Davis, with whom he shares a child. According to Toosii, he didn’t play it cool either, making his intentions perfectly clear.

Toosii Exposes Shaq For Flirting With His Girlfriend

“One time this n***a dm Samaria and said ‘let me have that baby’ talking about my son,” Toosii replied to a report about Shaq’s rumored baecation. “Weird a** old head.” He went on to share a screenshot of the DM, and sure enough, it reads exactly as he put it. “Man idk if this how old n****s flirt or what,” he also added. Based on the screenshot, Shaq sent the message in November of 2022, only months after Samaria gave birth to her and Toosii’s son Ezrah. Shaq has yet to address the racy DM.

This isn’t the first time Shaq has gotten called out for seemingly shooting his shot, however. A few months back, he posted a photo of himself standing alongside Taylor Swift, Ice Spice, and more at the Super Bowl. “Ice Spice so dam fine,” he captioned the post, raising eyebrows. According to him, however, he “just wanted to show her some respect” and wasn’t actually flirting. What do you think of Shaq sliding into Toosii’s baby mama Samaria’s DMs? What about Toosii putting him on blast? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Adrien Broner Shoots His Shot With Coi Leray

Adrien Broner attempted to shoot his shot with Coi Leray during a live stream on Instagram, as caught by The Shade Room. In the comments section, he wrote: “I’m on your body!” as well as, “Be at my next fight in Miami May 31st at the Hard Rock on me,” with a heart emoji. Broner will be taking on Blair Cobbs at that event.

When The Shade Room shared the comments on Instagram, fans had plenty of laughs at Broner’s expense. One user wrote: “I’m on your body? Like Lotion sir? Like sunscreen? Who says that?” “Her dad benzoyl peroxide ain’t gonna be too happy bout this,” one user joked, referencing Benzino. Others came to Broner’s defense, such as one fan who wrote: “I see some people calling him corny for what he said.. at least he shot his shot.”

Broner’s attempt to get involved in Leray’s life comes after she recently explained to Forbes that she’s working on becoming a “better” version of herself, and credited the “amazing people” she surrounds herself with in helping her do so. She told the outlet: “I’m blessed to also have such amazing people in my life to keep me levelheaded. So I’ll call them and be like ‘yo’ and if I’m in a place where I say something or do something, they’ll check me. They’ll check me in a way where they’ll be ‘you should have approached it in this way, you could have handled it like this’ and you know what, you’re right.”

Young Thug Trial: DA Investigator Caught Flirting With Female Witness Via Text

The Young Thug is once again showing that there’s far more wrong going on within it that has nothing to do with the subject of the trial itself. Moreover, the court recently saw text message exchanges between an investigator from the Fulton County District Attorney’s office and a female witness. Specifically, Investigator Rasheed Hamilton flirted with this woman, whom authorities arrested in order to get her to testify last month after she refused to cooperate, and following complaints, Thugger’s lawyers were able to obtain these messages. She testified that Hamilton harassed her in the same conversation in which they discussed the possibility of becoming a witness against the YSL collective’s six remaining defendants.

Furthermore, this pattern highlights the poor treatment of this witness throughout this process, as her testimony saw her claim that she was forced to testify despite her mental health struggles. In addition, there was also a dispute over whether or not the witness expressed to tell the judge he “can kiss her a**,” which prosecutors stand by. However, Young Thug’s defense argued on Monday (April 8) that this wasn’t the case, and that she complained about this harassment and requested a call with the judge. Text message exchanges also emerged between the witness and Adriane Love, the Chief Deputy D.A. and the lead prosecutor in this case, which weren’t as bad as Hamilton’s advances but still suggested foul play, the defense believes.

Young Thug Trial Tackles Inappropriate Flirting From Investigator To Witness

Click tweet above to see Meghann Cuniff’s full thread on the matter

Young Thug’s lawyer Keith Adams believes that Love’s personal messages to the witness indicate an unabashed attempt to win a witness’ favor in a criminal prosecution. The opposing side found these messages to be irrelevant to the trial, and simply niceties. Still, it seems like Judge Ural Glanville will not find these messages to be of much relevance, as Love was permitted to stay as lead prosecutor despite the rapper’s attorney, Brian Steel, questioning her witness interactions. What should’ve been a one or two-day testimony became so much more due to issues between the defense and the prosecution.

Meanwhile, this also follows complaints against the judge’s alleged bias from the defensive side. While this trial seems no closer to a resolution, we fear that this is only the beginning. Hopefully one day, some bond or bail can fall on the cards. For more news and the latest updates on the Young Thug trial, come back to HNHH.

Shaq Claims He Wasn’t Flirting With Ice Spice In Viral IG Post From Super Bowl

It is crazy to think the Super Bowl was only one month ago. It was a thrilling game, being one of the few in the history of the NFL to go to overtime. However, outside of the action on the field, there were a lot of other funny subplots going on during that weekend. Shaq and Ice Spice were two celebrities not named Taylor Swift or Travis Kelce making big headlines that evening. The two respective superstars were seen photographed together in Taylor’s suite during halftime. Shaq wound up posting the picture of him, Spice, and Swift with a caption that went viral.

“Ice Spice so dam fine,” the former NBA legend wrote. Of course, fans ran with that, speculating that the Big Diesel was shooting his shot. However, according to TMZ Sports the opposite is true. In one of Shaq’s recent episodes of the Big Podcast With Shaq, he cleared up the rumors as to why he actually posted it, caption and all.

Shaq Was Just Being Nice To Ice Spice

“The reason why I put out the post with Ice Spice, not ’cause I was trying to flirt, but I didn’t really blow her off, but I just wanted to show her some respect too.” He continued, “That’s why I put the post up because I was in there and it was all about, ‘Oh, Shaq met Taylor’ and [Ice Spice] was in the picture.” Furthermore, he knows how he flirts with women, and this was not that. “I don’t flirt like that. “Just ’cause I say ‘hi’ don’t mean I’m tryna slide in the DMs.”

What are your thoughts on Shaq saying he was not flirting with Ice Spice in his picture with her during the Super Bowl? Do you think he was telling the truth, why or why not? How do you think the rapper took the post? Was this the funniest moment from Super Bowl weekend? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.
