Lil Nas X Claps Back At Person On Social Media After They Criticized Him For Being With A White Person

by

In the world of social media, Lil Nas X faced some backlash after posting a TikTok video that didn’t sit right with one of his fans. The video showed Lil Nas X lip-syncing while a white hand gently touched his face. Lil Nas X, who identifies as gay, laughed it off. This led to some discussions about class and status. Moreover, the fan was suggesting that his success had played a role in his dating preferences. They said that the “Old Town Road” rapper’s newfound success had made him start dating a white man, which they referenced to as a “sun dodger.”

Moreover, Lil Nas X didn’t take the comment lightly and decided to respond with some humor and honesty. He basically said that it’s a bit much to judge his whole life based on a short TikTok video. “Baby girl it ain’t no way you got all this from a 7 second TikTok,” he said. This back-and-forth highlights how tricky fame can be, especially when people feel like they can say anything about someone’s personal life just from what they see online. His response shows that assumptions made from afar don’t always match up with reality.

Lil Nas X Claps Back At Fan

As Lil Nas X keeps navigating his way through the ups and downs of fame, his ability to handle criticism with humor and honesty proves that he’s not afraid to speak his mind. And while debates may keep popping up on social media, one thing’s for sure. He isn’t backing down anytime soon. Moreover, this isn’t the first time that the star has had to stand up for himself. The “Montero” artist has been accused of everything under the sun. He’s even been accused of being fake gay before. “I feel like he’s not really gay or not really that feminine it’s so forced,” the tweet read. “Oh no guys it’s the estrogen expert,”

Furthermore, Lil Nas X deals with the criticism well. The recent exchange sheds light on the complexities of fame and perception in the digital age. Moreover, fans and critics alike feel entitled to comment on the lives of public figures based on snippets of their online presence. The rapper’s clapback serves as a reminder that assumptions and judgments made from afar often miss the mark, and that behind every social media post lies a more nuanced reality.

Meek had told fans to stop questioning whether he’s straight in a post earlier in the weekend. “Stop asking me if I’m straight I’m just gonna play it raw how the world is … I’m blessed I’m okay but I ain’t hearing nothing good looking!” Meek wrote on Twitter, Friday night. In another post, he added: “Don’t tell me stop responding do something!” Check out his shoutout for Future below.

Keke Palmer’s Mom Explains “Usher Is Gay” Take From Darius Jackson Spat

by

What was once a simple story of jealousy, gender standards, and relationship dynamics has devolved into something much darker. For those unaware, Keke Palmer filed a restraining order against her former partner, Darius Jackson, and requested sole custody of their recently born child. Moreover, this followed a public spat in which he criticized her for wearing revealing clothing and happily getting serenaded by Usher during his Las Vegas residency. In a leaked alleged phone call, the actress’ mother supposedly went off on Jackson, accusing him of harassment and saying he has mental problems. During this, she apparently brought up the Usher incident with a wild take.

“Usher is gay!” Sharon Palmer allegedly expressed. “You and your stupid-a** family, y’all don’t even understand business. Usher’s gay, guys.” In a comment on The Neighborhood Talk‘s Instagram post covering this, Keke Palmer’s mother explained why she stated this. “The lie I told about Usher was to get Darius to stop abusing my daughter on account of his jealousy,” she clarified. “So I said he didn’t like women for her SAFETY. Everything else I meant with my chest and didn’t expect anyone to hear it because recording me is illegal. I guess he is okay with jail but I knew that when he put his hands on my daughter. He is still abusing her in all of this, trying to paint himself as a victim. Textbook behavior.”

Keke Palmer’s Mom Clarifies Comments About Usher

Regardless of that Usher situation, if the allegations against Jackson are true, there’s abundant cause for Sharon to defend Keke Palmer. In her filing against her former partner, she claimed a systemic pattern of physical and emotional abuse, which sometimes allegedly occurred in front of their son. With a temporary restraining order and sole custody of their son, the 30-year-old will now have to go to court to determine whether this will be a permanent arrangement. A hearing for said decision will take place in early December, if everything goes as scheduled.

Meanwhile, Darius Jackson denied these claims and levied accusations of his own against her mom. His side of the story claims that Palmer threatened to shoot him and other considerations. Hopefully this is where the abuse stops and, for the sake of their son, things can become safe again. On that note, keep checking in with HNHH for more news and updates on Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson.

Boosie Badazz Urges Dwight Howard To Give More Details On His Sexuality

by

In a recent VladTV interview, Boosie delved into the contentious legal battle surrounding former NBA star Dwight Howard. Boosie is not one to shy away from conversations about homosexuality in particular. In fact, he’s one of hip-hop’s biggest advocates against it. As HNHH previously reported, Boosie Badazz was facing backlash yet again, for comments he made just a couple weeks ago. That time for expressing his views on the LGBTQ community and emphasizing his determination to ensure that his sons do not identify with it. He has been vocal about his stance, going as far as disclosing that he turned down a $250,000 offer to perform at an LGBTQ community event.

However, it seems that now Boosie has more to say. Regarding his thoughts on Dwight Howard specifically. For context, a gay man had filed a lawsuit against Howard, alleging a non-consensual encounter that occurred during a visit to Howard’s residence. Reportedly, an unexpected trans woman also became involved. The conversation that unfolded between Vlad and Boosie raised intriguing questions about celebrity privacy and the shifting societal norms that now influence public figures’ personal lives. Dwight Howard, a renowned basketball player, has graced the headlines not just for his athleticism but also for his ongoing legal woes.

Boosie Gets Candid With Vlad

The lawsuit and recent allegations against Howard have ignited several convos on social media, with many curious about the dynamics of his personal life. Since then, Howard has told people to stay out of his business. Vlad and Boosie began by considering why Howard might be hesitant to openly discuss his sexuality and the possible parallels with openly gay artist Lil Nas X. The comparison between Howard and Lil Nas X is undeniably interesting. Both are prominent figures, but they stand on opposing sides of the spectrum regarding their sexual orientation. Lil Nas X’s decision to publicly embrace his identity as a gay artist has been widely celebrated, signifying a significant shift in societal norms and acceptance.

On the other hand, Howard’s situation, marked by a lawsuit and alleged non-consensual involvement, seems to underscore the difficulty some public figures face when navigating their personal lives in the public eye. The conversation between Vlad and Boosie delved into the implications of these evolving societal norms on celebrities and their personal lives. During the interview, Boosie said that Dwight should just outright come out and “confess.” “I would tell him, confess to the press,” Boosie said. “Stop playing. Real sh**, you like d**k, then you like d**k! Confess to the press. This ain’t 1990. You not gonna be banned from social s**t. He don’t wanna face the backlash.” Let us know your thoughts on HNHH.

Barack Obama Reportedly Spoke About Daily Gay Fantasies In 1982 Letter To Ex-Girlfriend

by

A letter that President Barack Obama wrote to his ex-girlfriend in 1982 has made some major revelations about the former commander-in-chief’s sexuality. “In regard to homosexuality, I must say that I believe this is an attempt to remove oneself from the present. A refusal perhaps to perpetuate the endless farce of earthly life. You see, I make love to men daily, but in the imagination,” Obama wrote. The letter was sent to Alex McNear, his girlfriend while studying at Occidental College. “My mind is androgynous to a great extent. And I hope to make it more so until I can think in terms of people, not women as opposed to men. But, in returning to the body, I see that I have been made a man, and physically in life, I choose to accept that contingency.”

Originally, McNear had redacted the more salacious parts of the letter, which is currently in the possession of Emory University. However, Obama biographer David Garrow had a friend transcribe the letter by hand and send him a copy. This had to be done as Emory does not allow photos of the letter. Furthermore, Garrow defended what the former President wrote. “I’m a historian, not a psychologist. But I think it’s ‘public record’ news that a (vast?) majority of human beings have sexual fantasies!” he said via email to The Post.

Obama’s “Gay Letter” Resurfaces

People are discussing the letter after it was mentioned in an interview by Garrow. He wrote the 1400-page biography, Rising Star: The Making Of Barack Obama, in 2017. “So when Alex showed me the letters from Barack, she redacted one paragraph in one of them and just said, ‘It’s about homosexuality,’” Garrow told Tablet. “So I emailed Harvey [Klehr], said, ‘Go to the Emory archives.’ He’s spent his whole life at Emory, but they won’t let him take pictures. So Harvey has to sit there with a pencil and copy out the graph where Barack writes to Alex about how he repeatedly fantasizes about making love to men.” Garrow further noted that Obama was something of a “sex machine” after moving to New York to attend Columbia.

Garrow also painted comparisons between Obama and his successor, Donald Trump. “I’ve sometimes said to people that I think Barack is actually just as insecure as Trump. But in ways that are not readily perceived by the vast majority of people,” he said. “I think that’s probably my most basic takeaway. [Obama] has no interest in building the Democratic Party as an institution. I think that’s obvious. “And I don’t think he had any truly deep, meaningful policy commitments other than the need to feel and to be perceived as victorious, as triumphant.”

Blueface Slammed For Showing Son Strippers & Asking Him If He’s Gay

by

Blueface’s parenting is something that he himself questioned a lot recently- well, whether or not he is one to Chrisean Rock’s baby, that is. Still, a lot of people took care of the other side of that: calling out his questionable parenting on occasion. Moreover, a lot of people recently came down on the California rapper for having strippers in his home and telling his six-year-old son Javaughn to come watch. Not only that, but when he found his son in the pantry looking for snacks, he asked him whether he’s gay or not since he wasn’t outside looking at the “cheeks.” After he asked again, Javaughn responded with a “No,” and Blue celebrated that as the kid’s mother Jaidyn Alexis was also there.

Overall, it was quite the bizarre and worrisome clip to watch. Of course, there were no shortage of critical comments and messages about his Instagram Story post. On one hand, many questioned why Blueface would be so pressed about his son’s sexuality at such an early age. On another, a lot of people think that exposing a child to that and pressuring him to do so is not just weird, but could be downright harmful.

Blueface Questions Son’s Sexuality Amid Strippers

Regardless, the 26-year-old thinks that his other baby mama Chrisean is just as worrisome of an example. “I got 2 kids an 1 bm for a reason I don’t just have kids with anybody,” Blueface tweeted in March about her. “I’m real particular about the women I have children with. I don’t play about my kids an their well being nurture an care. Rock don’t even take care of me like a women should an I’m a grown man imagine a new born. Physically fighting on the red carpet throwing the first punch after announcing a pregnancy is clearly not mentally fit to put their pride to the side for the better meant of their child.”

While obviously neither is perfect, this also isn’t a good look for his argument of being a better father. Despite all that, the MC’s place is far from empty without it considering his legal troubles as of late. Still, he recently celebrated the removal of his ankle monitor, so hopefully he translates that energy into some caring parenting. For more news and the latest updates on Blueface, stick around on HNHH.

Lil Nas X Criticized For Tweet About “Gays” In Africa

by

Lil Nas X recently faced a lot of criticism on social media after he tweeted: “where do the gays be in africa i wanna come there.” Moreover, this is not like his typical funny tweets, like ones responding to claims that he’s fake gay. Rather, this message has a particularly difficult context, as Uganda just passed brutal and discriminatory anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation. Furthermore, simply identifying as anything other than straight male or straight female could land citizens in prison for ten years. In fact, it’s one of the most sweeping and damaging anti-gay laws in the world, and many are criticizing the MONTERO artist for his comment.

However, this isn’t the first time in recent memory that Nas X caught himself in hot water. For example, he recently apologized for making a joke about gender transitions on Twitter, where he posted a picture of him in a more feminine look. While backlash was swift, his apology also angered many as he seemed to respond out of anger to critics. “Apologies to the trans community,” he wrote before telling someone unhappy with his apology to “eat [his] a**.” “I def handled that situation with anger instead of considering why it was not cool. much love to you guys. sorry.”

Lil Nas X’s Inflammatory Tweet About “Gays” In Africa

Still, regardless of that spat, this tweet points to a timelier and much more dangerous issue of LGBTQIA+ discrimination across a whole country. Not only could citizens face for ten years for their identity, but citizens face imprisonment for life or even a death sentence for non-heterosexual acts of intimacy and “aggravated homosexuality.” As someone who typically champions and defends the community, many expressed disappointment in Lil Nas X’s comment.

Meanwhile, it’s unclear if that tweet was in response to said legislation or if the “INDUSTRY BABY” is unaware of the tweet’s unfortunate timing. In any case, he has yet to respond to these criticism as of writing this article. Also, this heat comes just days after his Lollapalooza performance, where he played unreleased music and seemed to have a good time. Hopefully, he can clear up his intentions with this tweet and avoid putting his foot in his mouth in the future. If not, it will be hard for many fans to see him on stage. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Lil Nas X.

Lil Nas X Claps Back At Troll Saying He’s “Fake Gay”

by

Time and time again, Lil Nas X proves that he’s always got the chops to respond artfully to online haters. Now, he faced some criticism for his Lollapalooza Chile set, although it had nothing to do with the excellent performance itself. One particular tweet made social media rounds alleging that the MONTERO artist is faking his sexuality. “I feel like he’s not really gay or not really that feminine it’s so forced,” the tweet read. Of course, the brain behind “Old Town Road” and so many more hits had a cheeky response up his sleeve.

“Oh no guys it’s the estrogen expert,” he fired off on Saturday morning (March 18). Also, he responded to another comment that suggested a similar close-minded mentality. “One day we will realise that Lil Nas X is not gay,” another tweeter expressed. “He just finessed the LGBT community and got to the bag.” This time around, his response was much more elaborate. “Do I have to give head at 3:45 am behind a McDonalds in Chicago on a Friday night during the middle of pride month while streaming on twitch and IG live for y’all to realize I am really a fruitcake?” he clapped back.

Lil Nas X Responds To Trolls Claiming He’s “Fake Gay”

In fact, these responses to Nas X’s show initially made headlines for how another rapper worked herself into the fray. Moreover, Saweetie liked that first tweet that the “INDUSTRY BABY” singer and rapper responded to about him being “fake gay.” Unsurprisingly, responses to that mere like prompted the “My Type” rapper to clarify her like on Twitter. “He was lookin fine af,” she tweeted shortly after people started noticing her like. “That’s why I liked the video I didn’t see the shadiness …. *unlikes*.”

Meanwhile, most people actually took the set for what it was and praised the unreleased track that Nas X played in the clips that these tweets reference. Furthermore, it’s a Saucy Santana collab titled “Down Souf Hoes” that’s sure to fire up any dance floor when it drops. Honestly, people trying to get under his skin only makes his hilarious responses and personality that much more gratifying. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Lil Nas X.

The MONTERO Star Claps Back Again

Slim Thug Calls Designer Clothes “Gay”

by

Slim Thug recently said via Instagram that the secret to staying rich is avoiding “gay” designer clothes. Of course, this kind of narrative grows more dated and worrisome every year, although he said he didn’t intend the term to target the LGBTQIA+ community. Still, his point took aim at more expensive and flamboyant clothing, which Slim Thug believes makes people wear the same expensive thing. Moreover, the Houston rapper said that he decides to spend his money on expensive jewelry instead, so he still wears a hefty price tag. While it’s not the most controversial take in the world, one can’t help but think that he could’ve said it differently.

“Let me show you guys why I still got money and a lot of rappers went broke,” he began. Then, BIGslim showed off a $5.99 T-shirt he recently purchased. “The $5.99 shirt. Let me see how much the shorts is. The shorts, $12.99. Less than $20. I be in the club with this s**t on and you don’t know ’cause I got on a million dollars worth of jewelry.”

Designer Clothes Are “Gay,” Says Slim Thug

“But y’all be buying that designer,” he continued. “Y’all be looking gay ’cause all the designers are gay and I’m the only one standing out here. There be 10 of y’all standing around with the same Christian Dior shirt, 10 of y’all with the same Gucci shirt, and I be standing out with the plain T that cost me $5. Same as a happy meal or less. That’s how you stay rich longer. I just wanted to give y’all that game today.” Later, he took to the comments to clarify his use of the word.

“For the gay ppl who are wondering what I mean when I say look gay I mean when a hood dude wearing a Gucci rainbow shirt and a man purse no offense to y’all tho,” he wrote with a few rainbow emojis. Regardless of whether you think it’s in poor taste or not, at least he didn’t double down. For more updates and the latest news from Slim Thug and your favorite artists, stick around on HNHH.

Minor League Baseball Player Anderson Comás Come Out As Gay

by

In the last decade, most of the major American men’s professional leagues have seen athletes come out as gay. One of the first incidences of this was Jason Collins. Collins was the first openly gay player in the NBA. He first made this announcement in 2013 when he was a member of the Washington Wizards. A year later, Michael Sam became the first openly gay player drafted to the NFL. Drafted by the St. Louis Rams in 2014, Sam had a short-lived, but inspiring career. Seven years later, Oakland Raider Carl Nassib announced he too was gay. Since Sam never played an official game in the NFL, Nassib became the first openly gay active player.

Next, it was baseball’s turn. In 2015, David Denson became the first player affiliated with an MLB team to come out as openly gay. Denson played within the Milwaukee Brewers system from 2013-2017. However, Denson never played a game in the Major League. He spent his entire four-year career playing in the minor leagues. So, the MLB still has seen an openly gay player play in one of their major league games.

Anderson Comás Speaks

However, it is still great to see any athlete be comfortable in their own skin. That is why Sunday (Feb. 19) was another terrific day for the MLB. Sunday saw minor league pitcher Anderson Comás announce he is openly gay via Instagram. In his post, he asserted that homophobes were not welcome and that he is a lover with a great soul. “This may be my most personal thing I ever share and it’s that I’m proudly and happily part of the LGTBQ+ community,” he wrote. “I’m also a human with a great soul, I’m respectful, I’m a lover, I love my family and friends and that’s what really matters, I enjoy my work a lot, being a professional baseball player is the best thing that happened to me so I just wanna say something to those people that says that gay people can not be someone in this life, well look at me I’m Gay and I’m a professional athlete so that didn’t stopped me to make my dreams come true.”

Comás is currently a member of the Arizona White Sox, a minor-league affiliate of the Chicago White Sox. He has not played a game yet in the majors. But, the Dominican Republic native still has a lot of his career ahead of him. The White Sox’s assistant general manager of player development Chris Getz also released a statement celebrating the moment. “Anderson first shared his news with us last year. And I was very pleased that he was comfortable sharing with us in player development,” he said. “I also was happy at the reaction across the organization, which as you would expect was to support, help and congratulate a teammate. With his social media post today, we all are so proud of Anderson and that he is comfortable sharing such an important personal part of his life so openly.”
