Lil Baby Shares His Winnings After Gambling

by

Like a lot of rappers, Lil Baby clearly enjoys gambling. While it’s unclear what exactly he was playing, he recently shared his results to Instagram. Earlier this week he took to his story to show the results of a gambling session in the form of stacks of cash he left with. “Gambling until 3 pm is disturbing though,” he captioned the picture. Despite the big payday he clearly didn’t make as much as he wanted. “I wanted a m but this will do just as fine,” he said in another caption on top of the post.

Fans in the comments were pretty skeptical of how he came away with his big payday. “Yeah and he prolly hadda spend a M just to win that 100k,” one of the top comments reads. Others agree leaving comments like “bro prolly spent above 200k tryna win dat,” and “He basically won $100.” Other fans cracked jokes at his word choice in the captions. It isn’t the only time recently Baby has caught some strays on social media. Check out the entire post below.

Lil Baby Sparks Fan Interest With Gambling Post

Earlier this week a video started making the rounds of Lil Baby firing some practice shots at a firing range. Unfortunately for him, the video ultimately seemed to backfire and it resulted in a lot of hilarious reactions from fans. Many online criticized his firing stance and the fact that an instructor had to keep him from knocking himself over while firing a rifle.

Lil Baby is also just moving on from a beef with Blueface. After the pair seemed to take some subtle shots at each other on social media and in music videos, it could have escalated into all-out beef. But Baby himself put it to rest when he shared praise for Blueface online and claimed that he’s done having opps. What do you think of Lil Baby sharing his gambling winnings to Instagram? Let us know in the comment section below.

Jay-Z Hosting High-Rollers Blackjack Party With James Bond Theme

by

Jay-Z is no stranger to big names and big money, both of which are coming together at an upcoming event he’s hosting. In order to raise funds for his Reform Alliance, he’s having a high-stakes blackjack party with some extremely high-profile guests. According to Page Six, the event is limited to just 300 attendees and some of those expected to show up are Beyonce, Kim Kardashian, Tom Brady, and Travis Scott. Kevin Hart has also been tapped to serve as the host and MC of the event.

Those actually participating in the high rollers event will pay $100k to attend the function. While nonplayers get off a bit easier and will pay just $50k to get in. The event is currently set to take place later this month on September 30. Guests will gather at the Ocean Resort & Casino in Atlantic City for the highly exclusive function. Insiders also report that the party’s theme was inspired by an event Jay-Z attended earlier this year. Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin hosted a Fourth of July party with an all-white dress code and Jay delivered a killer look. While other big stars in both music and sports have been rumored attendees, none have been confirmed quite yet.

Hov and Team ROC will help fund the defense of Jermelle English Jr. a Wisconsin man. English was beaten by police and arrested while they were looking for someone else, then still charged anyway.

Jay-Z also returned to Instagram last month, albeit only for one post so far. He started a new account on the platform to share a trailer for a film he executive produced which is dropping next year.

Lil Baby Wipes Players In Dice Game: Video

by

Lil Baby is at the top in many things. Being crowned as a top-tier rapper in hip-hop, donating back to charity, and also being a casino master. Granted, he might not be facing some experts in the space, but a win is a win at the end of the day. Last year, the Atlanta superstar rapper cashed in when he visited a Las Vegas casino and left $1 million richer than when he arrived. He was able to help out his boys when he won, splitting the spoils with his boys.

Additionally, it was rumored that the amount he gave his friends was in the ballpark of at least $10,000 each. The MC spoke on Twitter about the victory and he thinks it is more than winning. “They know I won $ but what they don’t know is I ain’t out here balling, I’m investing.” Now, he is back at it again, this time with a dice game. There is a video that is making its way around social media, especially Twitter. The Atlanta-based rapper met some fans and challenged them to a dice game.

Lil Baby Destroys The Competition

The clip was posted on August 7, as the “Freestyle” rapper and frequent collaborator, Rylo Rodriguez, squared off with some locals. Baby, the go-getter he is, tried to convince his opponents to put up $10,000. As expected, no one was able to match him. Hilariously, Baby stated clearly, “It cost $10,000 to talk to me.” However, he allowed them to buy in for $5,000 and then he said, “Put your watch down.”

Baby cleaned up his competition with ease, and now we want to know, what are your thoughts on the video? How often do you think Lil Baby goes to the casino or plays games from the casino? Do you enjoy going to the casino? Be sure to tell us all of your thoughts in the comments section below. Additionally, keep HNHH as your main source for all the news surrounding the music industry.

Indianapolis Cut Isaiah Rodgers Over Gambling Supension

by

Sources reported earlier this week that another round of NFL players were being handed suspensions for betting-related offenses. The biggest name on the list was believed to be the Colts’ starting right-side cornerback Isaiah Rodgers.

Rodgers was a sixth-round pick out of UMass in 2020, but quickly proved his skill and ability. He made the 2020 all-rookie team and quickly earned the starting role in Indy. However, earlier this month, Rodgers acknowledged the gambling accusations against him and admitted “full responsibility” for his actions on social media.

Furthermore, it was also reported that Rodgers had directly bet on Colts games. This led pundits to believe that his punishment would be especially severe. That assumption proved to be correct.

Rodgers Suspended Indefinitely, Cut By Colts

Rodgers, along with Colts defensive end Rashod Berry and free agent defensive tackle Demetrius Taylor, was suspended indefinitely by the NFL for violating the league’s gambling policy. Meanwhile, Titans offensive tackle Nicholas Petit-Frere was suspended for six games.

About an hour after the news broke, it was revealed that Rodgers and Berry had been waived by the team. 2022 undrafted free agent and all-rookie corner Dallis Flowers is now listed as RCB1. In a statement, Colts GM Chris Ballad explained the decision. “The integrity of the game is of the utmost importance. As an organization, we will continue to educate our players, coaches, and staff on the policies in place and the significant consequences that may occur with violations.”

Further details have since emerged about the nature of Rodgers’ betting. Per ESPN‘s David Purdum, Rodgers had been betting on Colts games. One particular bet of note was an over/under prop bet on rushing yards for a Colts running back.

Soccer Player Gets Eight-Month Ban For Gambling

The NFL is not the only league dealing with players gambling. The Football Association (FA), which oversees soccer in the United Kingdom, handed down an eight-month ban to Brentford striker Ivan Toney in May.

According to an FA investigation, Toney breached betting rules 262 times between February 2017 and January 2021. Furthermore, Toney admitted to 232 breaches. This included 13 bets across seven matches where Toney bet on his own team to lose. However, Toney did not play in any of the games in question.

Initially, the FA had wanted to hand down a 15-month ban to Toney. However, after Toney was diagnosed with a gambling addiction, the agreed-upon 11-month ban was reduced to eight. That means Toney, who led Brentford with 21 goals last season, will be out until mid-January. On June 12, the London club paid $27.7 million to acquire German striker Kevin Schade from SC Freiburg. Schade had joined Brentford on loan for the second half of the 2022-23 season.

Another wave of gambling-related suspensions is expected to be handed down by the NFL head office this week. The biggest name linked to this latest batch of suspensions is Colts cornerback Isaiah Rodgers.

Rodgers was a sixth-round pick out of UMass in 2020, but quickly proved his skill and ability. Making the all-rookie team, he is currently listed as the starting right-side cornerback in Indianapolis.

However, earlier this month, Rodgers acknowledged the gambling accusations against him and admitted “full responsibility” for his actions on social media. However, the punishment for Rodgers could be particularly severe, as it is believed that he placed bets on Colts games.

NFL Ramping Up Gambling Crackdown

The word of new suspensions, first reported by ESPN, comes just months after a major crackdown on the league’s gambling policy. The first major wave of crackdowns came in late April, headlined by the suspension of Lions’ wide receiver Jameson Williams.

These latest suspensions are just one facet of the NFL’s campaign against sports betting on the part of its athletes. Elsewhere, the NFL announced that all 2023 rookies will have to attend mandatory anti-gambling education training. Meanwhile, NFL officials will be making in-person visits to every team to stress the league’s policy on gambling.

ESPN‘s report did specify when the suspensions would be officially announced. Furthermore, it is unknown which players other than Rodgers would be facing a suspension. However, it is believed that all players named will be facing a season-long suspension. By comparison, Williams received a six-game suspension.

Calvin Ridley Ready For NFL Return

One player who knows just how strict the NFL can be about gambling is Calvin Ridley. Ridley was suspended “indefinitely” in 2022 for betting on NFL games while away from the Atlanta Falcons. Subsequently, the Falcons traded him at the deadline to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Ridley was officially reinstated to the league in March 2023.

Ridley has been hard at work with the Jaguars as he prepares for his return to the NFL. Per the latest reports from the team, Ridley is “as advertised” and well on his way to returning to his pre-suspension dominance. While Ridley had a career year in 2020, he only played five games in 2021 before stepping away from the Falcosn for mental health reasons.

“I’ve been really impressed with Calvin,” Jags offensive coordinator Press Taylor told reporters. “I’ve watched every snap Calvin’s played in the NFL, just like a lot of our guys have, so we’re very confident in the player we’re getting. And then to be able to meet him in person, we’ve had a lot of people vouch for him going back to when we acquired him.”
