Brittany Renner Explains Her New Perspective On Meaningless Sex, Says It Makes Her Want To Puke

by

In the early stages of her career, part of Brittany Renner’s brand was speaking candidly about her sex life. Over the years, she’s been linked to names like Colin Kaepernick, Ben Simmons, Jamal Murray, and James Harden. She also shares a child with PJ Washington, who she began dating when he was 18 and the social media star was 26.

The 30-year-old is no stranger to controversy, though as she gets older, she seems to be unlearning some of her toxic traits. In recent months, rather than bragging about her conquests, the mother of one has been sharing her fresh perspective on intimacy. While it used to be a thoughtless act for her, Renner now finds it challenging to share her body with a man if they haven’t formed a bond between them.

Brittany’s Fresh Perspective on Intimacy

During a recent interview, the influencer recalled what her life was like before. “I gave men my body who didn’t deserve it, and you know, it was what it was. The thought of that now literally makes me want to puke,” she confessed. “I’m okay off of meaningless sex,” Renner added. “I mean, sex without some type of bond, or love, is just exercise at this point.”

She then joked that, because she already has a healthy relationship with her fitness routine, there’s no need for her to get an extra workout in. The comment section on @theneighborhoodtalk proves that many are loving the new leaf Renner has turned over. “I love how transparent and how honest she is,” one person praised the Mississippi native. “Love this growth and glow on her.”

Last December, the entertainer publicly shaded her old roster of hookups in another interview. At the time, Renner called her list of past sexual partners “repulsive,” and admitted that her lack of self-worth is what lead her to be intimate with them. “I did not understand my value that I was born with,” she told YouTuber JustPearlyThings.

“People look at sex differently, but sex is spiritual unification. At the end of the day, I don’t care how you spin it,” the Jackson State alum additionally noted. “And people that I shared my body with — when I think about my list — it’s repulsive. Because they didn’t deserve it. But that was an outcome of me discounting my worth.” Watch Renner’s full interview with Nyla Symone below, and check back later for more pop culture news.

DDG Addresses Rubi Rose Beef On “Way Too Petty,” Claps Back At Halle Bailey Fans Hating

by

The drama continues. If you thought DDG was done addressing the accusations Rubi Rose threw his way earlier this month, you’re wrong. After vehemently denying cheating on his girlfriend, Halle Bailey, the Michigan native has been regularly reminding Twitter precisely what it is that makes him such a great boyfriend. He’s made it clear that he wants to continue his relationship with the R&B starlet, though fans are becoming less and less sure they’re the perfect match.

Previously, the “Elon Musk” artist spoke about the situation in a YouTube vlog, which many viewers saw as a satisfactory explanation. Many also noted that Bailey made a brief appearance in the video, seemingly proving that their union hasn’t been tarnished as many outside spectators assume. Like any creative though, he also had to turn his pain into art, doing so in the form of a new single called “Way Too Petty” that arrived on Friday (February 24).

DDG Thinks Rubi Rose is “Way Too Petty”

Throughout his new track, DDG explicitly calls out Rose for attempting to expose him with screenshots of their alleged DMs. “Hoes screenshotting, that shit lame / Keep her on the side, she could never be my main,” he cooly rhymes. “She just wanna make it, she be f*cked for the fame / Posting pictures naked, baby, you should be ashamed.” Later on in the single, he also addresses his ex’s recent tweet about his current girlfriend wearing her old shirt.

“Tell them n*ggas do they research. I could fall off and come right back like it’s rebirth. Don’t believe the internet, it’s not that bitches t-shirt,” he cautions listeners, telling his side of the story. While her post at the time made it sound as though the Kentucky native had a problem with Bailey, she made it clear at the time that there was no beef between the two women. DDG, on the other hand, she chiefly called a “weirdo” for all of Twitter to see.

Halle Bailey Fans Come to the Rescue, DDG Responds

As the YouTuber continues to air out his drama for all of the internet to see, many of The Little Mermaid actresses’ fans are encouraging her to walk away from the relationship. “Halle get back in that sea and find another fish baby,” one Instagram user joked. “Is he trying to ruin her career?” another asked in wake of DDG’s latest controversial single. He’s clearly gotten wind of the critics and in a since-deleted tweet, he explained to them exactly why Bailey’s still standing beside him.

“‘Why tf she still fw him?’ I got a mean d*ck,” he explicitly wrote, only bringing in further backlash. As one comment on @theneighborhoodtalk’s post points out, “[DDG] is comfortable with [Halle] now and showing them true colours. She needs to run ’cause the red flags are red flagging.” Do you think the “Way Too Petty” song and the rapper’s deleted tweet are strong enough cause for a breakup? Sound off in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news.

DJ Akademiks Claims Gunna Wants Out Of YSL, Has An Album Ready

by

Hip Hop fans are still wondering what Gunna’s next move will be. After being released from jail in December, the rapper hasn’t made much movement in his career or social media. He was initially a part of the first string of arrests tied to the YSL RICO case. Gunna, Young Thug, and over two dozen of their purported associates were detained on charges related to several crimes. It was alleged that YSL was a criminal street organization, but Thugger and his supporters have insisted it is only a record label.

Meanwhile, Gunna was the first to accept a plea deal to taste freedom. He has flown under the radar, but DJ Akademiks claims to have inside information. “I think he’s cooked up an album. From what I heard, he has an album ready,” Akademiks said while on Livestream. “He has an album discussing a bunch of sh*t. He’s got an album, he’s got some sh*t to say. But there’s nobody down to stand with him.”

Akademiks Speculates About Gunna’s Future

“So, it becomes one of those situations where, yeah, how good could you make a case if everybody’s leaving you on an island. So, I think Gunna is kinda in limbo, waiting to see what happens with Thug. I think he’s praying that Thug gets a favorable outcome. Or he’s probably praying that, you know, despite what might happen to Thug, that Thug has some type of grace for him.”

The rant was all speculative, as Gunna hasn’t spoken out much. He and his lawyer have repeatedly denied snitching allegations, and Gunna emerged on Instagram to give a shoutout to Thug. However, Akademiks shared what he’s heard down the grapevine, while Hip Hop awaits more from Gunna himself. “I think, if you ask me, these are just my thoughts. I think if Thugger gets 20 years or 15 years, I think Gunna will try to proposition this offer to them: ‘Yo, how ’bout if y’all give me that co-sign that I need to get the snitch thing off of me, to get that jacket off of me, I’ll give a bigger percentage of my earnings to Thugger.’”

Akademiks Claims Gunna Wants Out Of YSL

Additionally, Akademiks claimed that he also heard that Gunna was making moves to leave YSL. Because the relationship is “fractured,” Akademiks said there is no way Gunna can go through something like this with the label and come out on the other side. Check out more from DJ Akademiks above.

Ashanti Reportedly Caught Wearing Nelly’s Chain, Fans Speculate On Another Romance

by

Ashanti and Nelly might be reigniting their romance after ten years separated, or at least that’s what fans say based on a chain. Moreover, social media speculated on the couple reuniting after fans noticed both of them wearing a similar chain. Furthermore, a fan page of the couple posted a picture of Ashanti wearing a thick, shiny, and silver Cuban link chain. In fact, it looks eerily similar to one that the “Hot In Here” rapper often wears. As such, many warned the singer and actress of straying back into the relationship after he apparently “betrayed” him based on her testimony.

Still, it’s not like the two completely stayed out of each other’s lives, and recent run-ins fueled reunion rumors before this was even a factor. For example, they were recently spotted clubbing after their Nashville concert in early February this year. Meanwhile, back in December of 2022, they performed together for a Christmas concert in Glendale, Arizona. In fact, many people noted their intimate stage chemistry as they performed, which got hopeful fans excited for their reconciliation.

Nelly & Ashanti Turn Heads With Matching Chains

Even with all that fresh excitement, some fans didn’t take too kindly to these rumors. “Girl he wasted your time before he will do it again…” one social media user expressed. “They do look good together though, but no.” Another pointed out that maybe some things are just left up to fate. “Chile soulmates are a thing,” they expressed. Despite shippers expressing their happiness, it didn’t filter out the notably cautionary messages that frequented social media discussions. “She’s in his chain,” another user expressed. “I liked them together but sometimes it’s best to leave people in your past.”

While they didn’t say much about why they broke up back in 2013, they dated since their music careers started. Fans were all the more curious when Ashanti expressed that Nelly “betrayed” her in a 2015 interview. Since then, they reconciled and spoke pretty vaguely about what happened, so clearly not much is set in stone. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest on Ashanti, Nelly, and their potential romantic rekindling.

Cher At War With Sons Who Disapprove Of Fiancé A.E. Edwards

by

Since November of last year, Cher has broadcasted her budding love with 37-year-old rapper Alexander “A.E.” Edwards. The unlikely couple initially was questioned to be a paparazzi stunt, however, a $250,000 engagement ring quickly proved that their romance is the real deal. A.E., who previously dated Amber Rose, allegedly proposed to Cher a month after they had started dating. Since then, the pair hasn’t been afraid to show PDA, as seen at Super Bowl parties this month.

Sources revealed that the 76-year-old singer had already received disapproval from her close friends, according to RadarOnline. “Cher’s in way over her head as far as the vast majority of her friends are concerned,” the source shared, “they want her to see this for what it is, a fun winter fling. They don’t want her to get carried away.” But now, Cher is receiving backlash from her own children for the 40-year gap between her and her new love. Her sons, Chaz, 53, and Elijah, 46, are both nearly a decade older than their soon-to-be stepdad. Sources say worry that A.E.’s love for their mother may be blinded by her bank account.

Cher Can’t Stand The Haters

An insider revealed that the lack of support from her sons allegedly upset Cher. “Cher doesn’t believe her sons should be counting her cash,” the insider revealed, “if that’s their primary focus, they can kiss the entire pile goodbye.” The “Believe” singer is so confident in her love that she’s “willing to cut them out completely,” according to sources. “She’s been hell-bent on marrying this guy and is speaking to her lawyers about adjusting her will to make A.E. her sole beneficiary,” a source added.

Even with the unsurprising feuds brewing between Cher, Chaz, and Elijah, the timeless icon supposedly still has plans for a spur-of-the-moment Vegas eloping. She’s in love with the music executive and spilled the tea about their “ridiculous” romance on The Kelly Clarkson Show in December. She tells Kelly, “in real life, we get along great. He’s fabulous. And I don’t give men qualities that they don’t deserve.” Don’t miss out HNHH‘s latest news on hip-hop and pop culture.

Rihanna & A$AP Rocky’s Wedding Will Take Place In Barbados, Sources Say

by

While couples like Chrisean Rock and Blueface and DDG and Halle Bailey have been through the wringer lately, things have never been better for long-time lovers Rihanna and A$AP Rocky. Neither of them has given us an album in some time. The New Yorker’s Testing landed in 2017 and his girl’s last project, ANTI, came the year before that. What they have given us, however, are plenty of iconic fashion moments, and a baby (with another on the way).

With so much excitement surrounding them, it only makes sense that major rumours are beginning to swirl. According to RadarOnline‘s sources, the Bad Gal hears wedding bells in her future, and her baby daddy is on board. It remains unclear how much truth there is to the gossip. Still, fans are already drooling over the thought of Rihanna in a white designer dress.

Rocky & Rihanna’s Bond Grows Stronger

After welcoming their first child together last May, many could tell that the love Rocky already had for RiRi has only continued to grow. When she announced their second pregnancy during the NFL Halftime show earlier this month, the “Houston Old Head” hitmaker was all smiles. If RO‘s insiders are correct, this won’t be the last time we see the Fenty Beauty founder sporting a baby bump.

“Throwing a wedding and having another baby are Rihanna’s main focus at the moment,” they recently told the outlet. “Luckily, A$AP’s on board, too. She has talked about wanting three or four children in total.” Seeing as she’s already got a little boy on her hands, the “Diamonds” songstress is hoping for a girl this time. As it turns out, she and Rocky have even already chosen a few names.

She’s Always Been His “Fashion Killa”

Of course, the A$AP Mob member and the expecting mother were friends long before their relationship turned romantic. They previously collaborated on his “Fashion Killa” music video years ago. In the time since, they’ve steadily proven that their wardrobes are nothing short of inspiring. Of course, it obviously makes sense then that Rihanna is reportedly planning an “over-the-top” ceremony for her wedding.

Sources say she wants to be surrounded by family and friends in her native country while tying the knot. “She wants it to be in Barbados, a super glam event. But she also wants to be able to run around barefoot,” they dished, also listing potential attendees as Jay-Z, Beyoncé and Adele. Additionally, island food will be served and plenty of live music will keep the vibes high. It remains unclear when (and if) we’ll see Rihanna walk down the aisle to A$AP Rocky anytime soon, but we’ll surely keep you posted with any updates.

Blueface Claims He’s Protecting Chrisean Rock From “The Industry”

by

If there ever was a toxic relationship in the entertainment industry, it’s the one between Blueface and Chrisean Rock. While some public figures opt to keep the emotional ups and downs of their lives out of the spotlight, these two launched a reality show late last year to put theirs on display. Crazy In Love‘s first season has come to an end, but the on-again-off-again pair have continued to captivate their audience with real-time antics.

On the Zeus original series, we saw plenty of physical violence ensue between the artists and their family members. Thankfully, their battles have been mostly verbal as of late – many of them taking place on social media for the world to watch. This past weekend, it was messages sent to Rock from My Turn rapper Lil Baby that lit Blueface’s fuse. After blowing up at his “Weekend” collaboration, the father of two claimed to be protecting his partner from the industry, comments that have left a bad taste in the mouths of many.

Blueface’s Toxic Tweets

“Y’all want me to let the industry take rock [and] do her like they do all the females?” Blue asked Twitter on Tuesday (February 21) morning. According to the 26-year-old, other artists will “run through” up-and-coming women until they’ve run out of clout. “Rap n*ggas play like they want to work [and] help until they get some p*ssy,” he further pointed out. “This is a profession, n*ggas know how to do business fr.”

He wasn’t done there. Just minutes later, Blueface’s page lit up with another post reading, “That will not happen while I’m around. Sorry about it, I put my money into this shit before everybody fake cared.” The “Thotiana” artist also reminded readers that they can’t tell him how to handle his money. “Pay me or pay me no mind,” his rant concluded, leaving few eyebrows unraised.

Lil Baby Feels Blueface’s Wrath Firsthand

As we mentioned earlier, Lil Baby is the one who triggered Blueface over the weekend, and he certainly didn’t hesitate to lay into the Atlanta native. During one of his many live streams, the latter alleged that the former must want to sleep with him if he’s talking to Rock, seeing as the “Lit” rapper has so many tattoos of his face.

“Any n*gga in your face is in my face. I’m right on your neck. N*gga f*cking you, he’s gonna be looking at me while he f*cking you? It makes no sense,” the reality star ranted at the time. Read what else he had to say to the “Do We Have A Problem?” hitmaker here. Make sure to check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Iggy Azalea & Emily Ratajkowski Talk OnlyFans, Rapper Says She Likes Her “Fake” Breasts

by

Last November, Emily Ratajkowski made a bold venture into the podcast world in wake of her tumultuous divorce. In her first episode, the mother of one discussed whether or not having sex on the first date is considered a faux pas. Since then, her content has only become more intriguing. Her first guest appearance came from Call Her Daddy creator Alex Cooper. She could obviously only be followed up by Julia Fox.

Since then we’ve also heard the model interview Ziwe, Mia Khalifa, TikTok star Drew Afualo, and Disney Channel alum Bella Thorne. For her most recent episode, Ratajkowski nabbed one of her most impressive conversations to date with Australian rapper Iggy Azalea. The artist has a ton going for her lately. Of course, audiences were dying to hear more about her OnlyFans account than anything else.

On Monday (February 20), the latest episode of High Low dropped, during which the “Fancy” hitmaker explained her decision to begin selling adult content. “I’ve made a lot of people so much money off my body. I got the smallest cut off my own f*cking body,” she dished to the podcast host. “And my own work, and my own ideas.” Azalea then said she refuses to apologize for finally taking back her power.

“It’s been commodified and I wasn’t even the main f*cking benefactor of it. So, f*ck this,” she revealed of her mindset before launching her OnlyFans. Because she’s naturally the type to post salacious photos online for free anyway, the foreign star wasn’t phased by getting a bit more explicit. “I like my breasts. F*ck, sorry. And they’re fake. And they look f*cking good and I like them,” she gushed. Immediately after, she made sure to remind listeners that she was confident before and after undergoing plastic surgery.

Iggy Speaks On Tossing Out Her Toxic Ex

Elsewhere in the interview, Azalea spoke candidly about her decision to leave Playboi Carti, who she shares her only son, Onyx, with. “Something happened one day with my son’s father and me. It was just one of those moments where you’re just like, ‘I didn’t wake up thinking this is what my day would be.’ But by the end of the day, I was on a plane to Los Angeles and I never went back,” the famous blonde shared.

She also made it clear that her relationship with the rapper was a “volatile” one, and it obviously “wasn’t working for them.” Growing up, Azalea says she watched her parents endure the same situation and left because she didn’t want to put her child in the same situation. Listen to the full High Low interview below, and check back later for more pop culture news.

Devin Booker Unfollows Kendall Jenner Amid Bad Bunny Romance Rumours

by

As we anxiously await more details on Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly’s near breakup, rumours continue to swirl surrounding another famous duo. This past weekend, the internet lit up with rumours regarding Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny. The unexpected pairing is said to have spent a significant amount of time together in Los Angeles over the past few days. However, we have yet to see any photo evidence of their newfound friendship.

While some are pleased by the potential of a new celebrity pairing, others didn’t hesitate to express their discontent. Many social media users are bashing the Latin rapper for dating outside of his race. Others are simply jealous that they weren’t chosen instead. Among those seemingly upset by the news is Jenner’s ex, Devin Booker, who has unfollowed the socialite on Instagram, Page Six reports.

Kendall and Benito Heat Up Los Angeles

It all began when gossip blog DeuxMoi dropped off a particularly interesting blind item. It revealed that Benito Ocasio was seen playing “tonsil hockey” with a famous beauty in the club. Hours later they revealed Jenner’s identity. It was also noted on their podcast that the recording artist left the venue shortly after she did. As countless reactions to the rumours poured in, the pair began trending on Twitter.

The next night, they only fuelled gossip of their budding romance further with a dinner date. Cameras didn’t snap photos of Bunny and the reality star together. Still, various reports state they ate at the same restaurant and left through separate exits afterward. Now that we know Booker has unfollowed Jenner, the possibility of her beginning a new relationship seems all the more likely.

In light of the endless headlines about his ex lately, the NBA star is seemingly doing his part to let go of their on-again-off-again union. Reddit users were the first to notice the juicy information this week. They also noted that Booker unfollowed his ex’s close friend Hailey Bieber too. “Kenny’s date with BB did exactly what she wanted it to do,” one person joked on the forum.

At this time, Jenner still follows Booker’s Instagram account. The pair were together for over two years, though their relationship was put on hold numerous times during that span. In November 2022, it was announced that they were calling it quits for good. Clearly, the 27-year-old is doing what she can to move on – here’s hoping the athlete is able to do the same. Check back later for any updates and more pop culture news.

Megan Fox & Machine Gun Kelly “Still Not In A Good Place” As Actress Does Damage Control: Report

by

Just when we thought Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly may have gotten over the dramatic bump facing their relationship, more reports reveal that trouble is still afoot. Late on Monday (February 20), a source dished to PEOPLE about where the couple stands. Some say that the picture isn’t as pretty as the Transformers actress is trying to paint on social media. As you may have seen, she’s been vehemently denying rumours of cheating, though some internet sleuths still have their suspicions.

“She’s now posted that there was no cheating, but [Fox] initially thought there was and now is backtracking a bit,” the outlet’s insider says. “She was definitely hinting at infidelity with her first post. She regrets making it all so public, but was really upset in the moment,” they additionally noted. The mother of three has since removed the post that caused all the drama. Before it was taken down, millions saw the lyrics she quoted from Beyoncé’s LEMONADE.

Megan Does Damage Control

Fox took a week-long social media hiatus in the midst of the chaos. Upon her return on Sunday (February 19), she did her part to dispel the circulating rumours of infidelity. “There has been no third party interference in this relationship of any kind,” she assured gossip blogs and internet trolls. “You need to let this story die and leave all of these innocent people alone now.”

As if that weren’t enough, she also made an appearance in Sophie Lloyd’s comment section. The blonde guitarist was thought by many to be the other woman in Fox’s relationship with MGK. Her management team has since shot those allegations down. The Jennifer’s Body actress made it known that she has no ill-will towards the musician while replying to her recent post, also praising her immense talent.

Can Couples Counselling Really Help?

With so many conflicting reports arising, it presently remains unclear to anyone but them what the status of Fox and Kelly’s engagement is. What we do know, however, is that they’ve been attending couple’s counselling together. The intimate details of their therapy sessions will likely always remain under wraps, though sources have said that both parties want to work through their issues rather than throw away the time they’ve spent together.

“Megan is still upset but is not giving up on their relationship,” an insider dished to PEOPLE shortly after Valentine’s Day. “He feels the same way. They are getting professional help because they want things to work out.” It was additionally pointed out that Fox was never been one to date someone for the hell of it. “She is with him because she believes it’s a long-term relationship.”

They also noted that, “There are trust issues and this causes conflicts right now. Megan is taking one day at a time.” In the aforementioned update on the lovers, it was said that “Their relationship is crazy and intense, yet it wouldn’t be shocking if they were back together completely by the end of the week.

While the drama is certainly entertaining, we hope the best for the couple going forward. Check back later for any updates on Fox and Kelly, as well as your other favourite artists.
