Kodak Black Hints At New Album, Admits To Crying Over Saweetie

by

While some artists like to spend the early weeks of the new year relaxing and plotting their moves for the warmer months, others are ready with new music in the form of an album or single for their fans as soon as the clock strikes midnight.

This year, in particular, NBA YoungBoy and French Montana are already on their grind. Apparently, Kodak Black is about to join them, as he has plans to drop an album in the coming weeks. As HipHopDX reports, the Florida native joined Yungeen Ace on Instagram Live to catch up in front of fans. During the session, the artists revealed some of their big plans for 2023.

“I’m just chilling,” Yak told viewers earlier this week. “Finna drop this album next month.” Additionally, he revealed that EST Gee is just one of the features fans will hear on the unnamed project.

It seems the “Super Gremlin” hitmaker wants to work with some R&B stars as well. Both he and Yungeen agreed that they need to find the next Mariah Carey to aid them with their musical goals.

February appears to be a lucky month for Kodak. In 2022, his Back For Everything album arrived that month. It subsequently debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, moving approximately 60K units in the first week.

While music is clearly on his mind, during the same IG Live, the Broward County native couldn’t help but dish on his love life. At one point, he even admitted to shedding a few years when a rap diva chose another artist over him.

“When Saweetie picked Quavo over me she made me cry bro,” he told Ace and their audience. Though he was heartbroken, the 25-year-old was eventually able to “salute” the couple (who have since gone their separate ways) for committing to a serious relationship.

In other news, Kodak Black is just one of the many artists who appeared on our annual best-dressed list. Check the full roster of stylish stars out here, and come back later for more hip-hop news updates.

Travis Scott Single Again, He & Kylie Jenner Will “Always Remain Friends”: Report

by

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott aren’t a pair who typically embrace PDA. In the early days of their relationship, we frequently caught glimpses of their life together on Instagram. Recent years have seen them embrace privacy more. However, they still step out for red-carpet events and celebrate some holidays in the public eye.

Unfortunately, in 2022, viral cheating rumours were stirring up trouble for them. A woman previously thought to be the rapper’s mistress put a telling behind-the-scenes photo on her IG Story . The father of two promptly denied any involvement, though Rojean Kar spilt plenty of tea about their relationship over the years on her own profile.

Even with all the drama, Jenner and Scott put on a united front. However, it seems they’re starting the new year on separate pages. Us Weekly reports that the pair didn’t spend this past holiday season together.

“Kylie and Travis are off again, they were supposed to spend the holidays together, but she went to Aspen to be with her family and friends up there,” the outlet’s source says. “This has happened so many times before, they’re known to be on again off again, but always remain friends and great co-parents.”

Some online sleuths were speculating about a potential separation after closely eyeing the makeup mogul’s TikTok page. In one video, her oldest child, Stormi, joins her for a sled ride. “We’re on a serious adventure right now,” Jenner tells the camera in the video from New Year’s Day.

The former couple’s most recent public appearance was in December in Miami. At the time, Scott performed alongside 50 Cent for an Art Basel party. The two got up close and personal for the cameras prior to his big performance.

After taking 2022 to recuperate from the previous year’s Astroworld Festival tragedy, the Houston native appears to be gearing up to focus on his career growth and new music in 2023.

London On Da Track’s BM Exposes Him: “Nobody Likes [Sissies] That Take Babies From Women”

by

If you thought we were leaving baby mama drama in 2022, you’re dead wrong. This weekend, it’s Eboni Ivori chiefly stepping into the spotlight as she drags her ex, London On Da Track.

The former lovers have been explicitly feuding frequently as of late. Specifically, they came to blows after she made claims that his rumoured new girl, Shenseea, allowed her son to act inappropriately towards the co-parent’s daughter.

“It’s a shame the way Black men do everything to tear Black women down,” she wrote on her Instagram Story earlier this week. “As a race and a culture, we need to do better.”

On the next slide, things only became juicier as Eboni shared screenshots of alleged texts from London. “What’s so crazy is just the other day calling me tryin’ to come over in the middle of the night. Tryna get me over there middle of the night, now it’s all this?” her rant went on.

“I’m disgusted that a man that I’ve known for 10 years, way back when he didn’t [have] McDonald’s money, would try to go big on me,” she indirectly said to her ex. “Act like he never knew me, and try to take our daughter.”

Next, Eboni brought another of London’s baby mamas into the conversation. “The same guy that was with Summer Walker for two years. Didn’t lay eyes on her or call her or send a penny is now trying to take her again
 Like how?”

From the sounds of things, Ivori is frustrated over the producer’s sudden interest in their child after years of absence. “I hate it for our baby, but you’re well on your way to ruining your reputation and career,” she said. Later she added, “Nobody likes [sissies] that take babies from women.”

For good measure, she ended with, “Run and report all that too, word for word. You probably the reason Thug locked up now, all you do is go to the police.”

Ciara Pregnancy Rumours Are Running Rampant On Social Media

by

We’re just one week into the new year, but already, pregnancy rumours are running rampant online – for one couple, at least. According to online speculation, Ciara may become a mother of four in 2023, though no official confirmation has come just yet.

The gossip actually began circulating in late 2020, though it’s only increased in recent days as social media users have been carefully eyeing her every post for any signs of a budding baby bump.

On Friday (January 6), the “Body Party” hitmaker posted a bootylicious video while wearing a cheetah print look. While she usually proudly flaunts her rock-hard figure for the camera, in this clip, the starlet was noticeably using her left arm to shield her stomach from full view.

Immediately, fans took to the comment section to call Ciara out. “Tryna hide that damn baby,” one person specifically wrote. Another pointed out, “He said he wanted one more baby,” referring to the singer’s husband, Russell Wilson.

Interestingly, the NFL player shared a tweet back in December that also sparked some pregnancy rumours. In the early half of the month, he wrote “JESUS I am Grateful!!!” This led one person to ask him, “@ciara pregnant?!”

The couple already shares two children – Sienna Princess and Win Harrison. Additionally, Ciara welcomed a son with rapper Future, who was named after her ex.

As social media users have pointed out, Wilson hasn’t held back on chiefly expressing his desire to expand his family. He and Ci are frequently referred to as “couple goals” and have been previously known to express their intimate (sometimes downright sensual) PDA on the internet for everyone to see.

Check out Twitter’s reaction to the speculation below, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Prince Harry Admits “Bigoted” Behaviour Before Meeting Meghan Markle

by

Some argue that the monarchy is an entirely dated concept. Still, though, Britain’s Royal Family has spent an abundance of time in the headlines as of late. Following the emotional death of Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle dropped some bombshells in their Netflix docuseries at the end of 2022.

From the Suits actress’ confession that she didn’t feel as though anyone treated her “like a Black woman” until she moved to the UK to her friendship with BeyoncĂ©, the six-episode project covers plenty of content. However, it didn’t get through everything the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had to say. Especially not the former, who’s been spilling plenty of juicy tea about his family in recent weeks.

Ahead of his Spare memoir, Prince Harry has been making rounds on the press circuit, discussing the upcoming book. Recently, he joined Anderson Cooper on 60 Minutes to discuss his work and upbringing. In the interview, the father of two reflects on the racism his wife faced from the British media.

Surprisingly, he had a personal realization to share with listeners at the same time. According to Haz, he, too, may have walked through life with racist feelings prior to meeting Markle.

“I had no idea the British press were so bigoted. Hell, I was probably bigoted before the relationship with Meghan,” he tells Cooper. Later, when asked how the American star has changed him, he sweetly said, “Put it this way. I didn’t see what I now see.”

While he’s clearly got all the praise for Markle, Harry’s older brother, Prince William hasn’t been getting as much love. According to Page Six, the younger royal takes a jab at the future King’s rapid hair loss in Spare. Apparently, he describes it as “alarming.”

Elsewhere in the book, the 38-year-old describes his sibling as his “archnemesis,” also breaking down a physical altercation they had during a confrontation about the former’s wife.

Read what Meghan Markle had to say about her friendship with BeyoncĂ© in her and Harry’s Netflix docuseries here. Afterward, tell us if you plan to read the Prince’s forthcoming memoir (due out January 10) in the comments.

Donald Trump Facing $10M Lawsuit For Capitol Cop’s 2021 Death

by

Some good news on the two-year anniversary of the January 6th US Capitol riots. Former President Donald Trump is now facing a substantial lawsuit as a result of his actions on that fateful day. Specifically, he’s being sued by the family of the late Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick.

As Complex notes, the victim passed away in January 2021. He suffered two strokes following the riots that came as a result of Trump’s failed second presidential run. In April of that year, the USCP released a statement regarding Sicknick’s death. At the time, they noted that they accepted the findings from D.C.’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. Ultimately, reports say that the officer died of natural causes.

“This does not change the fact Officer Sicknick died in the line of duty, courageously defending Congress and the Capitol,” their aforementioned commentary says. “The Department continues to mourn the loss of our beloved colleague. The attack on our officers, including Brian, was an attack on our democracy.”

Earlier this week, the late man’s longtime partner, Sandra Garza, said in the lawsuit that Sicknick’s death was “a direct and foreseeable consequence” of Trump’s own words. Additionally, Julian Elie Khater and George Pierre Tanios’s names are in reports for allegedly assaulting the now-deceased policeman. They apparently attacked him with spray at the time.

“As a direct and foreseeable consequence of Defendant Trump’s false and incendiary allegations of fraud and theft, and in direct response to Defendant Trump’s express calls for violence at the rally, a violent mob attacked the U.S. Capitol,” the complaint against The Apprentice star reads.

“Many participants in the attack have since revealed that they were acting on what they believed to be Defendant Trump’s direct orders in service of their country.”

The suit requests that the court grant relief against the former POTUS and other defendants. Documents ask that everyone “individually pay actual money damages of not less than $10,000,000 to the Plaintiff.”

A specific amount will be set at a later date if the lawsuit is enough to obtain a trial date. In lighter news, Sicknick’s parents accepted the Medal of Honour on his behalf earlier today (January 6).

Tristan Thompson’s Mom Dead, Athlete & KhloĂ© Kardashian Seen Jetting To Toronto

by

Once again, KhloĂ© Kardashian is showing how much compassion she carries in her heart. After learning of the death of her co-parent’s mother, the reality starlet joined Tristan Thompson on a private jet to his homeland of Toronto, Canada where he can properly mourn and make arrangements for Andrea Thompson’s funeral.

TMZ broke the story on Thursday (January 5), revealing that the athlete’s parent was in the hospital. She apparently suffered a heart attack while at home. Upon arrival at the medical centre, experts made attempts to resuscitate the woman but ultimately failed.

Thompson left Los Angeles as soon as possible, sources tell the outlet. In an update on Friday (January 6) afternoon, Kardashian’s appearance became public knowledge. It’s been said that she’s joining her ex to comfort him in his time of need.

The mother of two was reportedly close to Andrea, and the NBA player shared no shortage of photos of his family matriarch with his children over the years. He shares two with Khloé, as well as a son with his ex, and another from an affair he had with Maralee Nichols.

Despite not being a couple for some time now, Kardashian and Thompson still spend holidays together for co-parenting purposes. Their united front during this difficult time proved his dedicated she is to supporting him through thick and thin, whether romance is involved or not.

At this time, further details regarding Andrea’s sudden death remain unknown. The Canadian baller hasn’t yet spoken out, though his previous posts dedicated to the late woman speak volumes.

On Mother’s Day a few years ago, he wrote, “One day isn’t enough to praise and lift you high. Every day is your day. Thank you for all the sacrifices you made for me and my brothers. I love you and I’m so lucky to have been chosen as your son. Not all superheroes wear capes.”

Check back with HNHH later for any updates on the situation. RIP Andrea Thompson.

La La Anthony On Her Love Life: “I Don’t Feel Like Any Guys Want To Date Me”

by

A new year is a time for new beginnings and optimism. However, not everyone is able to maintain cheer in every aspect of their life. For example, La La Anthony is having a hard time finding her prince charming – or so she told TMZ this week.

The gossip blog caught up with the mother of one at LAX recently. At the time, they asked about comments she made last year on the Call Her Daddy podcast. If you didn’t tune in, the Power starlet dished about the men in her DMs, specifically noting that they’re often much younger than her.

“Literally, guys will DM me, or wanna take me out. I’ll Google them and I’ll be like, ‘You’re 22 years old?!’ Like, HOW?!” she told host Alex Cooper.

Since then, it seems Anthony hasn’t had any luck settling down with a suitor. When TMZ asked about her prior comments on the podcast, she said, “I retract my statement. It’s the top of the year and I don’t feel like any guys wanna date me,” she teased with a smile and laugh.

When the interviewer asked her about her dream man’s age, she playfully said, “Age ain’t nothin’ but a number!” while hopping in the backseat of her waiting vehicle. Pressing for more, the journalist prompted her to pick between a 22-year-old guy and a 40-year-old man.

“I prefer whoever is for me,” she wisely responded. “Whoever God says is for me, I’m good with it.” However, she noted afterward that “22 is a little too young.” When it comes to 34, though, “we can do that,” she says.

Before embarking on her journey back into the world of dating, La La was married to NBA player Carmelo Anthony. They were married for seven years, and share one son, 15-year-old Kiyan, who they continue to co-parent.

Bryan Kohberger Update: Alleged Killer Seen Throwing Trash In Neighbour’s Bins Before Arrest

by

Now that he’s back in Idaho and has attended his first hearing, more details regarding the arrest of 28-year-old Bryan Kohberger are coming out. Needless to say, they’re as chilling as many anticipated. However, authorities still aren’t able to paint a full picture for the public.

At the end of 2022, the criminology student was apprehended by the FBI in Pennsylvania. At this time, he’s the only known suspect in the murder of four young University of Idaho students.

In this handout provided by Monroe County Correctional Facility, 28-year-old Bryan Christopher Kohberger is seen in a booking photo after he was arrested on December 30, 2022 in Pennsylvania. Kohberger has been accused of fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students – Ethan Chapin, 20, Xana Kernodle, 20, Madison Mogen, 21, and Kaylee Goncalves, 21 – in an off-campus house on November 13, 2022 in Moscow, Idaho. (Photo by Monroe County Correctional Facility via Getty Images)

As we previously reported, Kohberger and his father drove home from Idaho to Washington for the holidays. During their trip, the duo was stopped twice by Indiana state police. At this time, it’s believed these were planned pullovers to obtain more information on the suspect without spooking him.

According to CNN, authorities also kept watch over their target when he arrived at his parent’s house. A law enforcement source tells the outlet that investigators witnessed as he “cleaned his car, inside and outside, not missing an inch.”

The team assigned to Kohberger was tasked with keeping an eye on him until a warrant was obtained. Additionally, they had to gather an item that could be used to collect a DNA sample.

Officers saw the suspect numerous times outside in Pennsylvania, often wearing surgical gloves. At one point, he headed outside around 4 AM and put trash bags in his neighbours’ bins. They then collected garbage from both the family home and Kohberger’s backup spot and sent it off to the Idaho State Lab.

Last Friday (December 30), a local SWAT team moved in on the family home. Both the door and windows were broken down in what’s known as a “dynamic entry” that’s typically only used with “high-risk” suspects.

After a long trip across the country via plane, Kohberger appeared in Idaho court yesterday (January 5). The previous night, he was booked into the Latah County jail on four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary.

He is facing the death penalty, which some of the victim’s parents have already said they support.

Drake & Former Miss Croatia Ivana Knoll Link Up At Leonardo DiCaprio’s Party

by

Drake has been doing this for a long time. Because of this, it never comes as a surprise when he links up with practically every famous face in the industry. Over the years, the rapper has befriended socialites, models, fellow artists, athletes, and various other creatives. Most recently, his ever-expanding social circle grew by one more as he posted up with a world-famous beauty named Ivana Knoll.

She previously held the title of Miss Croatia. Now, the 26-year-old is spending time with Drizzy. Specifically, they were at Leonardo DiCaprio’s Miami party earlier this week. They posed for an Instagram photo together, which she shared on her feed on Thursday (January 5) morning.

In the image, the Canadian has his arm wrapped around Knoll’s waist. They both widely grin for the camera as the model flips her hair. While not exactly matching, their dark fits were coordinated, and they looked undeniably happy to be in each other’s presence.

As Daily Star notes, the social media star made headlines at the end of 2022 after attending the FIFA World Cup in revealing outfits. The host country, Qatar, created a strict dress code for the event, but she chose to follow her own rules. As a result of her bold actions, her online presence has increased significantly. At this time, she has upwards of 3.6 million followers on Instagram.

Champagne Papi isn’t the only celebrity to appear on Knoll’s feed as of late. To kick off 2023, she shared a picture of her and “Gold Digger” hitmaker Jamie Foxx, also smiling for the camera.

“There’s no better way [than to] start [your] new year with good friends,” her caption reads.

According to reports, Foxx was also present at the Miami party where Drizzy and Knoll snapped their photo together.
