DDG Returns Fire At Trolls Saying Halle Bailey Bought Her Own Christmas Gifts

by

DDG does a lot of things in his career: he raps, makes videos, acts, directs, and he also responds to Twitter trolls clowning his relationship with Halle Bailey. On that last note, he’s actually gotten quite good at replicating people’s energy who joke about their supposed wealth and popularity gap, his other romantic drama with exes, and much more. In fact, the Michigan native keeps finding new ways to even poke fun at himself and prove folks wrong at the same time. Maybe some would argue that this energy is better spent on actual career developments, which is a very valid point. But can we really blame anyone for wanting to have a little fun online, especially when people don’t hesitate to have fun about him?

Furthermore, DDG responded to fans joking that Halle Bailey bought her own Christmas gifts for herself. This was after he said that he spent $500K for this holiday in 2023, which included a diamond necklace from Tiffany and a Birkin bag. When fans started to make memes about the division, the former YouTuber leaned into them on Twitter. “i give up.. y’all figured it out,” he tweeted Wednesday (December 27). “im broke asf.. can anybody let me borrow a few thousand til next friday?”

DDG Matches Troll With Troll On Twitter After Christmas With Halle Bailey

Then, a fan asked DDG what he actually does for a living, which again, seems to become a longer list every year. “i sell weed,” he comically clapped back. “$20 a gram, $100 a 8th. i also work at foot locker at the beverly center in beverly hills. what else y’all wanna know.” Of course, the 26-year-old had to back this up with some standard flexing a couple of hours later to balance the trolling with the triumph. He posted a video of him in his car with a lot of stacks of cash, adding this challenge: “guess how much this is & i’ll send u $100.”

Meanwhile, PontiacMade’s boo seemed to have an amazing Christmas season with him. Pregnancy rumors are still afoot, but no confirmation as of yet. We’re sure that these will continue until we get solid word. With that in mind, stay logged into HNHH for the latest news and updates on DDG and Halle Bailey.

Bad Bunny Hosts Gift Giveaway For Kids In Puerto Rico & Surprise Show

by

¡Gracias, Benito! Bad Bunny just gave back to hundreds of families in his native archipelago of Puerto Rico by hosting his fourth-annual “Bonita Tradición” event with his Good Bunny Foundation, in which he gave away a lot of Christmas gifts for the kids on Saturday (December 23). It was a very wholesome affair at Puerto Rico’s Convention Center, and it wasn’t the end of the festivities. The superstar artist also gave a surprise performance at a festival at the Luis Lloréns Torres housing complex, and it was nothing short of a heartening and joyous celebration. Clearly, rumors of a Kendall Jenner breakup hasn’t stopped his happiness this holiday season.

In addition, Bad Bunny also gave an important message to the youth at the surprise show. It centered around Puerto Rico’s government not giving this community their due respect and support, but that they still persevere and work hard to accomplish their dreams and do great things for the archipelago. Furthermore, it’s amazing to see how the fame hasn’t made him any less grounded or dedicated when it comes to his roots. The 29-year-old had another chart-topping album this year, but there’s nothing quite like some pitorro and pernil to truly celebrate a Boricua Christmas.

In other news, despite the joyous season, he’s not letting others take advantage of his hard-earned work and image. Bad Bunny recently blasted a track that emerged using A.I. to replicate his vocals, lyric, and sonic style, which became quite the hot trend in 2023. He’s definitely not the first artist to speak out negatively against these practices, and hopefully he will be among the last ones before that trend phases out. But alas, 2024 is going to be quite unpredictable, so there’s no telling what the industry is going to do next.

Benito Performs & Speaks To The Youth

Meanwhile, Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio even got big U.S. rappers like Key Glock’s cosign this year. The Memphis MC remixed his track “MONACO,” and there are so many other connections between these worlds. If 2024 is kind to us, then we’ll get even more of these moments. For more news and the latest updates on Bad Bunny, stay posted on HNHH.

Shaq Gifts GAWNE A Custom Rolls-Royce After Collab, Rapper Thanks Him

by

Shaquille O’Neal is passionate about many things and many industries, but his love of music is among his most well-documented passions. Whether it’s EDM or hip-hop, he’s always down to engage with the game, and he recently gave a rare rap verse to Chicago rapper GAWNE for his track “CHAOS.” Released on Friday (December 8), it’s a song and music video that came about after the former Laker sent the rapper a DM, and they eventually linked up. However, what he probably didn’t expect was for Shaw to gift him a $1 million custom Rolls-Royce after they wrapped up their video shoot, but such are the surprises you get when you work with such a legend.

“Shaq, man, it’s the craz*est day of my life,” GAWNE says in a clip uploaded to his social media pages. It shows off the maroon-tinged whip in the background, and you can tell by the smile on the MC’s face that he may just be right in his assessment. “Shaq just gave me a f***ing Rolls. Goddamn, man. God bless you, Shaq.” “It’s yours, my boy. Now I gotta take an Uber,” he replied.

While speaking to Oak Park, GAWNE remarked on what meeting Shaq was like, and what he took away the most from their interactions. “I was blown away by Shaq’s passion for rap,” he shared. “And him making his return to rap with me is such an honor. He was so passionate and loves rap so much, in every single take he was rapping his heart out. It was such a magical experience. Also, I want to shout from the mountain tops how good of a guy Shaquille O’Neal is, as well. As cool as making a song with him was, what I admire the most about him is his character and him as an individual.”

Meanwhile, what do you think of this new song? Do you think that the NBA superstar should come through with more verses? However you may feel, drop your thoughts in the comments section down below. Also, for the latest news and updates on Shaquille O’Neal and GAWNE, keep checking in with HNHH.

Cardi B Gets Chick-Fil-A’s Apology For Messing Up Her Order: A Sauce & Merch Gift

by

Cardi B loves a good meal, which is evident from her disappointment in herself for sleeping through Thanksgiving. As such, we can’t really blame her for getting pressed over getting the wrong order, especially from one of her favorite chains: Chick-fil-A. Moreover, the fast food restaurant made some mistakes with the rapper’s food earlier this week, and it’s clear that they wanted to make it up to her. On Wednesday (December 6), she revealed that her third outing to the establishment ended with her walking away with an extra gift. As such, the chicken giant apologized to Bardi for betraying her trust in the brand, and she seems quite happy with their response.

“Tell me why I ordered Chick-fil-A again and I ordered the same thing I ordered the last time,” Cardi B told her fans in the recently published video. “I knew it was gonna be something special, because they sent me a big bag. I’m like, ‘Aight.’ So they sent me with my order– this.” Then, she displayed a set of the restaurants sauces and merch that they gave her. “They said, ‘Here, girl, hush. Hush, b***h.’ Period. And I’m gon’ take it. And I’m gon’ eat it. Thank you! Thank youuuuuu!”

Cardi B Shows Off Chick-Fil-A’s Gift: Watch

However, this definitely isn’t the biggest scandal to happen to the 31-year-old this week, and the biggest one might warrant a much larger apology. Fans recently went wild on social media when they noticed that Cardi B and Offset unfollowed each other on Instagram, prompting breakup rumors to spiral out of control. Regardless of the weight of this implication, it’s also a lot to assume from Internet activity from two superstars who just want to keep every eye on them. As such, we wouldn’t take this too seriously until we get some more concrete or suggestive statements from either party.

Meanwhile, some fans– namely Barbz– think that this could all be a ruse to take attention away from Nicki Minaj’s highly-anticipated new album Pink Friday 2, which drops this week on Friday (December 8). Somehow, that’s even more of a wild theory than the actual split allegations. Maybe the couple will disprove all of this with a chicken cooking session with the Bronx hitmaker’s new sauces. Jokes aside, for more news and the latest updates on Cardi B, stay logged into HNHH.

Offset’s Gifts To Cardi B Blasted By PETA

by

Cardi B and Offset recently had a pretty lavish and fun dual celebration on Thursday (October 12) that ruffled a few feathers in the animal rights world. Moreover, while the former celebrated her 31st birthday, which was the day before, whereas the latter held a joint release party for his brand new album, Set It Off. Of course, the two showed each other a lot of appreciation for these milestones, and for always supporting them on their individual and unitary journeys. However, what really set PETA off were the three crocodile Birkin bags that the former Migo gave the Bronx MC. Given how much she liked them, we doubt that this will result in the bags being put in the trash.

“Instead of using his wealth and influence for good, Offset chose to funnel hundreds of thousands of dollars into a gruesome, violent industry,” PETA Vice President Lisa Lange remarked. She released a statement directed to the couple on Friday (October 13). “[It] electroshocks crocodiles [and] shoves metal rods into their heads in an attempt to scramble their brains. [It] mutilates them while they’re still alive.

Cardi B Posts Birthday Snaps Along With Offset’s Gifts

“PETA reminds everyone that people who still spend their money on a closet full of dead animals’ body parts either are clueless or simply don’t care about the extreme cruelty they’re perpetuating,” she continued. “It’s just not worth it.” Surely Offset and Cardi B aren’t that ignorant; just a little careless, perhaps, but this certainly isn’t the worst example of this treatment. Regardless, it’s thanks to organizations like PETA that we’re even conscious of these cruelties. They launched research and internal investigation efforts in Asia to minimize reptile cruelty in the fashion world, praising brands like Chanel, Burberry, and Vivienne Westwood for changing their ways.

Considering that the rap couple also gave out food and drinks for free at the bash, which wasn’t all vegan, maybe PETA has a particular bone to pick with these two. These conversations are always important to bring up, because you never know how much one convinced person can change things. If Cardi and ‘Set decide not to buy anymore croc bags, maybe that’s a better life for another living individual. For more news and the latest updates on Cardi B and Offset, stay up to date on HNHH.

The post contained a bevy of images of the two of them enjoying their vacation in various ways.

One of the pictures included Fletcher’s gift to Moneybagg – an expensive pendant encrusted with diamonds and bearing the embossed message “IDAF Boyz” on in it. Moneybagg also posted images of bags of cash and an expensive-looking new watch as other gifts he received. Going by the pictures, it appears that the happy couple spent Moneybagg’s birthday on a boat with some friends. Moneybagg and Fletcher replicated the spaghetti-eating scene from Lady and the Tramp.

It’s very heart-warming that Moneybagg wanted to give Fletcher something despite it being his birthday.

Despite this, Fletcher also had to deal with some hate over it. “You don’t have to have a wedding to be married, slow bitch. I’m collecting them to shit on weak ass mad ass hoes like you Where yo ring? Where you n-gga? Where are you in life besides my comment section? Do me a breath a favor and hold your breath, forever,” Fletcher replied to one person who asked if she was “collecting” rings.
