Mario’s Dating Decisions Spark Controversy After He Shows Off New Girlfriend

When in love, it can be pretty difficult to refrain from sharing one’s feelings with the world, and it looks like Mario is no exception. Earlier this week, the R&B icon took to Instagram to show off his new love interest, whose identity has not been made public at the time of writing. She’s seen wearing a big smile in the passenger seat of his car, the clip proudly accompanied by a set of heart emojis.

Mario clearly isn’t afraid to flaunt his new boo. Some social media users have less than complimentary things to say about the gesture, however. Countless commenters are tearing into the performer for appearing to date outside of his race. The racial background of his new girlfriend remains unconfirmed.

“Of course, and he be out here, pretending like he love black women,” one critical commenter writes. “Lol I never seen Mario with a black woman. I don’t know why ya’ll are surprised [laughing emoji]. He seems like he only likes beckys,” another adds. While plenty of social media users have been critical of the artist’s decision, others have stood up for him, defending his right to date whoever he wants. “Why do everyone make it about color damn do we not care about personality anymore,” one fan wonders. “I love seeing love,” another notes. Mario has yet to address the responses to his dating choices.

This isn’t the first time Mario sparked controversy, as his “R&B Mount Rushmore” prompted quite a bit of debate earlier this year. He claimed that he deserves a spot, along with Beyonce, Michael Jackson, Usher, and Whitney Houston. What do you think of Mario showing off his new girlfriend on social media? Are you happy for him?

Gunna Takes Out His New Girlfriend, P Litty, For Her Birthday, Fans Leave Harsh Comments

Gunna has been tearing it up this year charts-wise. His album that delved a little bit into the YSL RICO debacle, a Gift & a Curse, has been a pretty big success. There were a few quality tracks to pick from his seventh solo project. “rodeo dr” and “back to the moon,” are just a couple to dish out. Easily, though, the biggest highlight from it has to be “fukumean.”

It quickly became one of the catchiest songs of the year and might have been the track of the summer as well. What makes the track so accessible is the solid trap beat with Gunna’s slippery flows. Additionally, you have to throw in some of the quotables like the earworm “eeeyah” adlibs and kid vocals shouting in the background. Finally, you cannot forget the line, “I’m in this b**** with P Litty / QP, QP-ski.” If you did not know the one who performs “eeeyah” is Gunna’s new girfriend.

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

When Gunna references “P Litty,” that is the name of his new significant other. According to Hot 107.9, she models on Instagram and her real name is Mèlia. They have been spotted in public before, but the couple went out recently to celebrate her birthday. Gunna and Mèlia appeared to have been at a dinner spot and looked to be having a nice evening. The comments under The Shade Room‘s post were really going after her, though. One said, “Omg she look like everybody else.” Another went, “Not him cuffin a blow up doll.. This is not P at all.” People are going to say whatever online, but we are happy to see the couple enjoying each other.

What are your initial thoughts on Gunna’s new relationship with P Litty and taking her out for her birthday? Do you think the fans were way out of line for their comments about her and the pairing? Is “fukumean” still in your rotation, plus where does it rank for you in terms of a song of the year list? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

Flavor Flav’s Career Controlled By His Manager & Girlfriend, Sources Allege

Flavor Flav’s iconic status in the rap game doesn’t mean he’s immune to manipulation, various sources reportedly alleged to AllHipHop. Moreover, these accusations came against his new manager, Rhiannon Rae Ellis, and his new girlfriend, Kelly Salvaggio. Apparently, the Public Enemy icon’s fans and sources supposedly close to him are expressing a lot of concern over these new influences in his life. Not only that, but fans rumored that this lines up with the last time that he spoke to his youngest son, which happened over a year and a half ago. The two were starting to form a strong connection when Ellis and Salvaggio intervened and, according to source reports, strayed him away from family.

Furthermore, a lot of this doubt around the potential I’m A Celebrity star‘s career stems from his manger’s credentials. Ellis claims to be a Harvard University graduate, but she only has small degrees and certifications from the institution’s often looked-down-upon Extension Studies program. In fact, these are claims and boasts that she makes on Flavor Flav’s own Instagram page. While this could technically violate Harvard’s code of conduct due to possible misrepresentation, it’s also a relatively small detail that is impossible to determine when it comes to its actual impact.

A post shared by Flavor Flav ⏰ (@flavorflavofficial)

On the other hand, his new girlfriend Kelly Salvaggio might be the reason why the hip-hop star is such a big Swiftie. Fans took a look at her IG page to find evidence that supported this, which contributed to the narrative that she controls him to a certain degree. “I was surprised when Flavor Flav asked me to make a custom clock, not for himself, but to gift this to someone else… TAYLOR SWIFT!!!!” she captioned a post about a custom clock in the MC’s style that she made. “My daughters and I had a fun TIME creating the perfect Eras Tour Clock. What a special moment for everyone!”

Meanwhile, another allegation of exploitation stems from a picture of Flav washing Salvaggio’s car. She thanked him for it on social media, and it’s unclear if it’s a joke or if she really meant to allude to grunt work. Also, she uploaded a lot of pictures with celebrities online that she met because of the 64-year-old. Of course, this is all purely speculative and theoretical, but the dots are there for folks to connect or dismiss for themselves. Let us know what you think about all this in the comments and stay logged into HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Flavor Flav.

Drake Gifts Fan $50K To “Flex” On Girlfriend Who Left Him: Watch

Drake’s It’s All A Blur tour with 21 S*vage isn’t saving all the money for its performers; even some fans are getting a lot of cash for going to the shows. Of course, that’s because of the generosity from these artists, who have often given fans Chanel bags, cash, plane tickets, and much more during their trek. Most recently, Drizzy gave a fan $50K at the Miami show (presumably on Saturday, September 29) after he said that his girlfriend left him, which is the most fitting reason to give a fan of his music some bands. Previously, a few lucky attendees at each show were able to share their backstories or experiences, which usually involved a reward or two, and this just adds to that tradition.

“Aye, I gotta read that sign, I like that sign,” Drake said to a fan in the crowd. “That’s a good sign to pick tonight. Usually I’ll, like, do something nice for a lady. I’d do something nice, I’ll give away a bag or some s**t like that.

“But my bro right here,” Drake continued. “He said ‘I spent all my savings buying tickets for me and my ex, but Honestly, Nevermind, it’s really Her Loss.’ So she ain’t come with you tonight? She ain’t come with you tonight to the Drake show?! What the f**k is wrong with her? And you in here just icy with the gold chain and the sunglasses on? Aye, you know what?”

Then, the crowd started chanting “F**k that b***h!” “Alright, that’s a little aggressive,” the Toronto native replied to the stadium. “But you know what? She’s gonna feel real f***ed up. ‘Cause I’ma give you 50 bands so you gon’ flex on her tonight. That’s how we doing it tonight, big dog! It’s your night tonight! And I won’t say it how y’all said it, but f**k that young lady. Miami, I love y’all so much, you showing so much love. You showing too much love tonight.” For more news and the latest updates on Drake, stick around on HNHH.

Drake Calls Out Fan’s Girlfriend At Show Who Cheated On Him

Despite criticism, jokes, and assumptions, Drake has shown that he cares about his fans quite often. For example, he recently greeted a group of hopeful concert attendees who lined up late in the AM to get wristbands to his show, and took pictures and had some laughs with them. Moreover, during the very show that those fans waited for, the 6 God displayed that solidarity with his supporters once more. While performing for his “It’s All A Blur” tour, he noticed a fan who was holding a sign up for most of the show. “My girlfriend cheated on me, she was supposed to be here tonight,” the fan’s sign read.

Then, Drake asked the fan what his ex’s name was, and when he couldn’t hear him say it, he asked him to write it somewhere to get it right. Eventually, the 36-year-old understood that the cheating ex’s name is Scarlett, and had a message. However, he actually didn’t go as hard as he could’ve on her; not that he should’ve, but that’s the energy some people want to give off. “On the count of three, we’re going to say ‘Sorry, Scarlett,’” Drizzy said, and the crowd followed. “Sorry Scarlett, you can’t be cheating on my dog like that,” he concluded.

Of course, it’s not like Drake was going to shout out, “Screw you, Scarlett!” or anything like that; after all, she could be a fan, too. Regardless, it made for quite the funny and oddly heartening moment considering the themes of heartbreak within his music. Still, let’s not pretend that the OVO superstar is immune to cheating himself, or rather, being the side man. Though it’s purely speculative, Kim Kardashian’s recent appearance at one of his shows reignited Kanye West’s allegations that she cheated on him with Drake.

Gossip aside, it’s at least cool to see the Toronto artist interact with fans in a more unique and genuine way than other performers. Who would pause the show for a minute just to get a stranger’s name? We’ll see what else his tour with 21 holds for guests and disgruntled ex-partners watching from home alike. On that note, stay up to date on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Drake.

Key Glock Tweets About His Girlfriend Amid Major Drama

Memphis rapper Key Glock always has a lot to say and that often comes through on his social media. In a recent series of tweets he seemed pretty heated addressing his girlfriend Karin Jinsui. “Sending this fake godly a*s b*tch back to da streets,” his first tweet read complete with a peace sign emoji. That post obviously got people’s attention and led to more follow-up tweets. “she might look good on IG but I SWEAR dat b*tch AINT NONE !!” his next tweet read. Following that post a fan challenged him, claiming that he can’t actually be calling Karin ugly. Glock responded “She look good but she still ain’t sh*t.”

Fans in the comments had a bit of a field day with Key Glock. “Karin done pissed him tf off😭😂,” reads one of the top responses. “Hating on your girl is crazy,” another one of the top comments observes. Other responses took things a lot more seriously. “This is the stupidest thing you can do as a man 🤦🏽‍♂️ come on the internet downplaying the woman you with because y’all going through some sh!t. You didn’t know she had all these flaws when everything was good?” While fans don’t have all the details on what exactly is going on, they seem to be siding with Karin overwhelmingly.

Key Glock Twitter Rant

Key Glock was involved in some much more fun drama earlier this year. He participated in the “Crew League” celebrity basketball games where he put a move on Doe Boy that caused him to sprain his ankle. Glock poked fun at Doe Boy further by exposing their texts including pictures of his swollen ankle online.

Earlier this year Key Glock released his 15-track new album Glockoma 2. The project totaled over 40 minutes and didn’t contain a single feature. He doubled down on that philosophy with the deluxe edition of the record. That came with 8 new songs none of which added any additional features to the mix. What do you think of Key Glock’s tweets about his girlfriend? Let us know in the comment section below.

Idris Elba Recalls Being Held At Gunpoint While Trying To Stand Up For Someone’s Girlfriend

Idris Elba says that he once was held at gunpoint by a man after trying to protect their wife during a domestic dispute. He recalled the incident during an interview with the SmartLess podcast published Tuesday.

“I nearly lost my fucking life after attempting to stop a man threatening his girlfriend outside a club,” Elba shared, as noted by the Daily Mail. “A guy [was] whaling on his missus, screaming in her face, ‘I’ll fucking kill you,’ and so on. I come round and I go, ‘Look how beautiful she is. Why would you talk to this beautiful princess like that?’”

“He pulled out a gun, stuck it right in my face, and goes, ‘You talking about my girl?’ He thought I was trying to hit on her,” the Luther actor explained. “I remember thinking, ‘Don’t play negotiations like that… Consequences, man.’” Elba didn’t go into further details about where the incident took place nor how the situation de-escalated from there.

Elsewhere in the conversation, Elba discussed how he ended up playing a DJ set at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding in May 2018. He says that he was performing at various clubs at the time when one night he ran into Harry. “I was DJ-ing in all these clubs where [Prince] Harry would show up and he was like, ‘Yo!’ and I’m like, ‘Yo!’. And then at one point he was like, ‘Listen man, I’m getting married’. I was like, ‘Yo! That’s amazing,’” Elba explained. “He goes, ‘I want you to DJ’… I was like, ‘I don’t do requests!’”

Fans of Elba’s will be able to catch him in the upcoming Paramount+ animated series Knuckles. It’s a spin-off from Sonic the Hedgehog 2, in which he voiced the title character from the new series. It is expected to premiere later this year.

Will.i.am Recalls 2Pac Once Stealing A Black Eyed Peas Member’s Girlfriend

Will.i.am says that 2Pac once stole the girlfriend of Black Eyed Peas member Apl.de.Ap. He recalled the story during an interview with DJ Whoo Kid for the Whoo’s House podcast. While he explained that he never met the legendary rapper, Will.i.am told the story of Apl.de.Ap’s girl leaving him at Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles after seeing 2Pac.

“I never met Biggie,” Will.i.am said, “I never had an interaction with 2Pac, but Apl.de.Ap in the Black Eyed Peas, he had this girlfriend. I don’t wanna name her name or put her on blast, and they were eating at freaking Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles.”

Will.i.am continued: “She was hot, bro. She was a beautiful Puerto Rican young girl, when we were kids. 2Pac did like this [beckoning gesture] and then she was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I’ll be right back.’ 30 minutes later, [Apl’s] chicken waffles got all cold, freaking syrup got all freaking stiff, butter got freaking liquidy. And he was like, ‘She ain’t coming back…’ That’s his classic 2Pac [story].” Check out the full conversation below.

It’s not the first time Will.i.am has made headlines for discussing 2Pac. Just last year, he admitted that he wasn’t a fan of the legendary rapper’s music during an interview with The Art of Dialogue. When asked to choose between The Notorious B.I.G. or 2Pac, he went with KRS-One.

Will.i.am Discusses 2Pac With DJ Whoo Kid

“I’m such a Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul head that I don’t like 2Pac and Biggie,” he said at the time. “That kind of music doesn’t speak to my spirit. I like Boogie Down Productions, KRS-One … if it’s like 2Pac or Biggie? It’s KRS-One. Why those two? If it’s 2Pac and Biggie, I don’t hold them up like that. I hold Eric B. and Rakim like that. 2Pac’s dope, don’t get me wrong. It’s not like I don’t think he’s dope.”

Dennis Rodman Gets A Face Tattoo Of His Girlfriend’s Face

Dennis Rodman is a fascinating individual. He defined the 1990s as the bad boy of the legendary Chicago Bulls team that dominated the NBA. However, more than just being the team rebel, he had a transgressive style that challenged gender norms. Furthermore, he was very much unequivocally himself. Love, him, hate him, demonize him, Rodman didn’t care because you were still talking about him.

After the collapse of the Bulls, Rodman bounced around the NBA, as well as international leagues. His career finally came to an end in 2006 after a brief stint with the Brighton Bears in Brighton, England. Since then, he’s been known for a variety of things. He became an unofficial emissary to North Korea during the Trump administration. His frequent trips to the famously isolationist country, as well as his friendship with Kim Jong-Un, even led to speculation that Rodman was a CIA asset. Beyond that, Rodman’s daughter Trinity is a star in her own right. She currently plays professional soccer in the NWSL and for the US Women’s National Team. However, Dennis is once again back in the news for doing something “weird”.

Rodman Unveils His New Tattoo

Dennis Rodman has got a new face tattoo. While that would be fairly normal in and of itself, the tattoo is attracting attention as it appears to be a very prominent tattoo of his girlfriend’s face. Rodman showed it off on social media with the caption “Start your own legacy when you’re God favored.” Meanwhile, his girlfriend can also be seen in the video, inspecting the tattoo approvingly. Of course, this is essentially just a normal day for Rodman, who as we’ve mentioned is nothing if not un-traditional.

However, there was one notable reply in the comments of the No Jumper post that reshared the video. Rapper Sexyy Red, most recently seen scoring a W over Tasha K, dropped her thoughts. “Dats me on his face yal 💋,” the St. Louis rapper wrote. What’s more, the tattoo does kind of look like Red, best known for her track “Pound Town”. While likely a coincidence, especially given that his girlfriend is right there in the video, it’s a little bit of extra fun in an already amusing story. What do you think about Rodman’s tattoo? Let us know in the comments. Follow all the latest celebrity news here at HotNewHipHop.

Soulja Boy Lucks Out In Civil Case With Ex-Girlfriend Over Awarded Damages

Back in April, a judge awarded Soulja Boy’s ex-girlfriend Kayla Myers $235,900 in punitive damages in their civil case. For those unaware, Myers sued the rapper for alleged assault and kidnapping at a 2019 party at his home in Malibu, and emerged victorious when the case went to jury. Moreover, Soulja’s team sought a new trial after this development, pointing to jury misconduct as a crucial reason to reevaluate the trial. Apparently, these wishes might see some fulfillment according to a recent report from MyNewsLA on the legal matter. Furthermore, Judge Mark Epstein of California expressed concern on Thursday (June 29) that jurors lacked important evidence and information in the case.

In particular, this evidence and information refers to Soulja Boy’s financial affairs, such as income, saving, expenses, and debt. In fact, Epstein stated that Myers did not present any evidence of these factors in her initial suit, and that the lack such information should’ve halted the case from proceeding. “The court is concerned that, absent at least some evidence on this point, the issue should never have gone to the jury,” a judicial clerk wrote according to the outlet’s report. The court scheduled a hearing for July 21 to discuss the issue.

Nevertheless, until that hearing comes to a conclusion, Myers still won her lawsuit and can stand by that verdict. The jury in this case granted punitive damages for “physical and mental pain and suffering,” with additional funds for healthcare expenses. “We’re pleased with the jury’s verdict,” prosecutor Max Engelhardt remarked at the time. “[Soulja Boy] assaulted and terrorized Kayla, and that was borne out by the evidence and testimony. The punitive damages were substantial, and hopefully, they will serve as a lesson to Mr. Way that his celebrity status is not a license to commit violence.”

Meanwhile, the 32-year-old is still up to his usual antics online, even amid these pressing legal matters. For example, he recently participated in a hilarious livestream with TikTok star Terri Joe where she made some bold claims about their… interactions. We have to wait a few weeks to see where this case lands, but we’re sure that he will keep being himself in the meantime. On that note, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and more updates on Soulja Boy.
