Hip Hop is concerned this evening after a report surfaced about Theophilus London. According to several surfacing reports, the famed rapper’s family has been searching for him.
A press release states that they haven’t had contact with London since sometime in July. With the holiday season quickly closing and still no contact, they decided to file a missing person report.

TMZ states that London’s loved ones filed the report yesterday (December 27). London was born in Trinidad and Tobago, so it’s said that several of his relatives made their way to Los Angeles to connect with the authorities face-to-face.
In a statement, the rapper’s father, Larry Moses London, made an emotional plea to his missing 35-year-old son.
“Theo, your Dad loves you, son,” said the patriarch. “We miss you. And all your friends and relatives are searching for you. Wherever you are send us some signal.” He added, “No matter what we will come get you son.”

The circumstances involving this disappearance remain unclear, including the last time he made contact with loved ones. The public is quickly sharing information about London in an effort to hopefully find him sooner than later.
The holidays are typically a time of cheer. Unfortunately, this year that wasn’t the case for those stuck at airports due to flight cancellations. In particular, those travelling with Southwest Airlines were hit the hardest.
As Complex reports, after upwards of 2,500 flights were cancelled on Tuesday (December 27), the U.S. Department of Transportation made the executive decision to step in. “USDOT is concerned by Southwest’s unacceptable rate of cancellations and delays. [Also the] reports of lack of prompt customer service,” they wrote on Twitter yesterday evening.
USDOT is concerned by Southwest’s unacceptable rate of cancellations and delays & reports of lack of prompt customer service. The Department will examine whether cancellations were controllable and if Southwest is complying with its customer service plan.
“The Department will examine whether cancellations were controllable and if Southwest is complying with its customer service plan,” they additionally went on to note.
On Monday, Southwest shut down nearly 3,000, or approximately 70%, of its scheduled flights. “We’re working with Safety at the forefront to urgently address wide-scale disruption by rebalancing the airline and repositioning Crews and our fleet ultimately to best serve all who plan to travel with us,” their subsequent statement read.
“We were fully staffed and prepared for the approaching holiday weekend when the severe weather swept across the continent, where Southwest is the largest carrier in 23 of the top 25 travel markets in the U.S. These operational conditions forced daily changes to our flight schedule at a volume and magnitude that still has the tools our teams use to recover the airline operating at capacity.”

Half of the cancellations on Boxing Day were Southwest flights. Following behind them was Delta, whose second-place spot saw them shutting down a total of 265 flights.
Thousands remain in airports, with little to no customer service or aid available for them. Apps like TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram are full of storytimes from those spending their Christmas in an airport.

If there’s one thing that we always love to see in the industry, it’s legends supporting legends. Recently, Foxy Brown actress Pam Grier has been doing a whole lot of that. Specifically, she’s showing love to two of the biggest names in the female rap game today.
The 73-year-old joined Rolling Stone for an interview. During, she revealed that she’s got some particularly exciting things in the works. Among them is yet another movie to add to her already impressive filmography, which boasts titles like Friday Foster, Coffy, and Quentin Tarantino’s Jackie Brown.
What sets this upcoming role apart, though, is that Grier herself is writing it, and she has plans to star alongside another famous face. “I’m writing something for me and Cardi B,” she told journalist Rob Sheffield, noting that she’s specifically a fan of the song “WAP.”
She didn’t dish any further on the movie in collaboration with Bardi, though she was quick to shift the conversation to Megan Thee Stallion while on the topic of their salacious single. “I love Megan Thee Stallion. I told her, ‘You and your artistry are beautiful,’” she recalled.
“‘People are gonna punk you because a stallion is a male horse. There’s some really foxy mares!” was the rest of the advice Grier had for the Houston native. “She’s really good. She went to college,” the older woman further praised her young friend.

Afterward, the North Carolina-born entertainer spoke candidly about how women in the industry are criticized. “You got to have your goals. You’re gonna have haters, you’re gonna have jealousy. Just do your art, do your passion from your heart,” she told Rolling Stone.
“[Megan] and Lizzo and Nicki Minaj and some of the others, they know — you gotta make your own style. You get to hire people later. But you come up with your own stuff, then you just draw people like a magnet. Collaborators make you greater and greater. I want them to find that.”

With a new year, for many, comes new resolutions and the chance to step into a better version of yourself. However, each new year also comes with 365 days of potential turmoil – depending on what the universe plans to throw at us. According to 16th-century astrologer, Nostradamus, the impending fresh start could have some serious upheaval.
As the NY Post reports, the accused heretic successfully predicted many past events. Among them are 9/11, the COVID-19 pandemic, the Great Fire of London, and Hitler’s rise to power. His foresight is undeniably pessimistic in nature, which is why he’s known as the “prophet of doom.”

His bleak outlook is said to be a result of the Old Testament and the trauma of losing both his wife and children to illness at a young age. In 1555 he published Les Prophéties, in which he describes future wars, civil unrest, assassinations, and the like.
For 2022, the late figure prophesized about the rise of AI, cryptocurrency’s conquering power, and a sudden rise in cannibalism due to ongoing inflation. In December we can confidently say that bitcoin was a flop, cost of living is higher than ever, and Evan Peters’ rendition of Jeffrey Dahmer became one of the most popular shows on Netflix this year.
Unfortunately, it sounds like Nostradamus’ worldview hasn’t changed much for 2023. According to him global warming will continue to cause more problems, such as an increase in fish deaths.
“Like the sun the head shall sear the shining sea: The Black Sea’s living fish shall all but boil,” he wrote centuries ago.
Elsewhere, he seems to speak of the fall of the monarchy when describing “Celestial fire on the royal edifice.” If taken literally this could mean an actual meteor or other blaze striking Buckingham Palace. However, it’s possibly a metaphor for the “bombshell” from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s new docuseries.
It’s no secret that the threat of World War III has been imminent for some time now, with the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. At this point, even Nostradamus wouldn’t be surprised to see more severe conflict break out around the globe.

“Seven months great war, people dead through evil,” is his book’s prediction. If you think that’s bad, just wait until you hear what he has to say next.
On top of all the other aforementioned chaos, Nos also believes 2023 will see the arrival of a highly unwanted guest. “The antichrist very soon annihilates the three. Twenty-seven years his war will last. The unbelievers are dead, captive, exiled. With blood, human bodies, water and red hail covering the earth.”
Do you think any of Nostradamus’ writings will come true next year? Let us know below. Also, if you’re curious about astrology, check out our analysis of Kanye West’s birth chart to learn more here.
Donald Trump has been putting a lot of energy towards his 2024 Presidential campaign in recent weeks. Seeing as the Jan. 6 Committee commissioned to analyze the deadly insurrection at the Capitol during his last stint in office has referred him for criminal charges, though, it’s entirely possible we may not see the politician hit the campaign trail next year.
Earlier this month, news came out declaring that the New York native is facing accusations of “providing aid and comfort” to the 2021 mob. Additionally, he could receive charges for “obstructing Congress’ Jan. 6 joint session, conspiracy to make false statements to the National Archives, and conspiracy to defraud the United States.”

At the time, panel chair Rep. Bennie Thompson said, “Faith in our system is the foundation of American democracy. If the faith is broken, so is our democracy. Donald Trump broke that faith. He lost the 2020 election and knew it, but he chose to try to stay in office through a multi-part scheme. This can never happen again.”
While he still has a surprising number of supporters, just as many others have been expressing disdain for Trump since the moment he began his political career. Specifically, comedian D.L. Hughley has been vocal about his thoughts on the Jan. 6 situation.
Recently, TMZ caught up with him at LAX, at which time they discussed what the future may hold for Trump. “Ultimately, we all saw what happened,” he tells the camera.
When asked about the former POTUS’ future election plans, Hughley says, “He should be disqualified from running again. Anybody who tries to overthrow, and have armed people rise up… Use white nationalists and skinheads to affect the results he wanted. They should automatically have been disbarred.”
Additionally, the actor thinks that failure to indict Trump on these allegations would “speak volumes of our legal system.” He went on, “Stop saying out loud that nobody is above the law because clearly, they are.”
“From espionage to, you know, tampering with elections. You name it. I think he should be charged with manslaughter for the cop that died, even though it wasn’t in the event,” Hughley told TMZ.
He then said that if Trump was a Black man, he would be a “co-conspirator” and put in jail long ago. “He is clearly guilty,” the 59-year-old insisted. “He’s taking this country down fast. I don’t know that it will ever recover.”

Diddy officially achieved billionaire status just a few months ago, but that hasn’t slowed down his work ethic at all. If anything, the 53-year-old is working as hard as he can to bring in more streams of revenue. He recently announced that a new album will be landing from him in the new year. As Daily Mail reports, he’s also presently filming something while on vacation with his family.
According to the outlet, Sean Combs has been spending Christmas in St. Barths. Joining him in the tropical paradise are several of his children. Among them are daughters Chance, Jessie, and D’Lila, as well as his sons, Christian and Quincy.
On Christmas Eve (December 25), the New Yorker and his offspring were out and about with a camera crew. Presently, we have no details regarding the project. Still, many are speculating we’ll be seeing a Combs family reality series in the near future.
During one night shoot on their trip, Diddy, Quincy, and Christian went out jewelry shopping, likely treating themselves to some luxurious pieces.
It’s been noted that the music mogul’s twin daughters appear to play an important role in the show. For many of their outings, they dressed in similarly styled outfits and have already flaunted various looks throughout their vacation.
In the past, Combs has worked on several reality projects. His VH1 series I Want To Work For Diddy ran for one season, and Making The Band was far more successful with 12 editions airing over the years.
Aside from his upcoming music and major money moves, fans would be undeniably pleased to learn more about the “I’ll Be Missing You” hitmaker’s new baby mama, Dana Tran on his reality show.
Of course, they’ll also want answers regarding his situationship with Yung Miami, which is never not making headlines.

She may be one of the world’s most renowned supermodels, but Naomi Campbell is not much different from us. For her annual Christmas festivities, the 52-year-old was joined by her loved ones. All of them wore matching flannel pyjamas to take group photos in front of a beautiful tree.
As PEOPLE reports, the starlet’s festivities had an extra special guest this year – her one-and-a-half-year-old daughter – who was born back in 2021. “Merry Christmas To All. Grateful & Blessed #unconditionallove,” she wrote in the caption.
We can clearly see that her outfit matches her mother’s. Still, Campbell made the executive decision to hide her face with a red heart emoji.
As many celebrities do, the London-born actress is opting to protect her child’s privacy from the spotlight. However, that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t allow her some time to shine here and there. She is the spawn of a legend, after all!
In February of this year, Campbell gave the world its first glimpse at her daughter. Of course, it was no ordinary look. Instead, it was on the cover of British Vogue. “She wasn’t adopted,” the model told the outlet at the time. “She’s my child.”

At this time, little else is known about the child. When announcing her birth last May, though, the Empire actress couldn’t help but gush about the exciting experience.
“So honoured to have this gentle soul in my life, there are no words to describe the lifelong bond that I now share with you, my angel. There is no greater love,” her previously uploaded Instagram message reads.

Naomi Campbell’s baby isn’t the only one who’s been making headlines this Christmas. Yesterday (December 25), Diddy’s little one, Love Sean Combs, finally made her Instagram debut.
In a photo shared on the Bad Boy’s social media, he holds the infant as five of his other children crowd around him in matching pyjamas. Check that out here, and come back later for more pop culture news updates.
It’s been some time since there were any significant updates on the brutal murders of four University of Idaho students. Currently, police continue to quietly search for clues while the rest of the world eagerly awaits answers. In the weeks since the tragedy, several true crime buffs have taken to platforms like TikTok to play detective and try their hand and solving the crime. While some have undeniably provided helpful information, others are now facing lawsuits due to their accusations.
As Complex reports, Rebecca Scofield filed a lawsuit last Wednesday (December 21) in Idaho District Court. The history department chair named TikTok user Ashley Guillard, who boasts a following of 100K+ on the app, in her documents. Specifically, the educator is unhappy that she’s facing accusations of orchestrating the local slayings solely from tarot card readings.
The lawsuit appears to be the latest example of “dangerous” speculation surrounding the Nov. 13 quadruple homicide in Moscow, Idaho.
Those following the investigation know that police aren’t sharing the names of suspects. Somehow, though, the social media user channelled a message pointing her toward the school employee.
“Professor Scofield has never met Guillard,” her lawsuit declares. “She does not know her. She does not know why Guillard picked her to repeatedly falsely accuse of ordering the tragic murders and being involved with one of the victims. Professor Scofield does know that she has been harmed by the false TikToks and false statements.”
The tarot reader has been posting defamatory videos for over a month, starting on November 24th. At the time, a video went out stating that the instructor “had been involved in a relationship with one of the murdered students, K.G. [Kaylee Goncalves].”
Scofield is expressing concern that Guillard’s “false statements may motivate someone to cause harm to her or her family members.” Additionally, she notes the “significant emotional distress and damage” she’s facing in the wake of these claims.
Though the police haven’t been speaking with the media lately, one of the victim’s fathers gave a recent optimistic update. Some have been speculating that the tragic murder investigation has gone cold, but according to Ben Mogen, authorities are working with biological and visual evidence.
“From the very beginning, I’ve known that people don’t get away with these things these days. There’s too many things that you can get caught up on, like DNA and videos everywhere. This isn’t something that people get away with, that goes unsolved,” he said.

Last night (December 25) saw the arrival of episode three of Zeus’ Crazy In Love. After watching, more people than ever before are questioning why Blueface and Chrisean Rock are together. Among them seems to be the 22-year-old herself.
In a snippet from the show’s most recent edition, the reality star sits in the backseat of a vehicle. During her drive, she’s expressing obvious frustration over her situation with the California-born rapper. “I need space from this, like, forced-ass relationship,” she says as the cameras roll.

“Like, I don’t know if it’s a business-ship or a relationship,” the entertainer adds. “Is he with me because there’s opportunity in it, or [does] he really just want to be with me?” Without missing a beat, her friend sitting beside her says, “You know the answer to that.”
After some back and forth, Rock reveals she got a text from Blueface in the midst of their beef. “I love you, baby, we are family,” she read it out loud for the cameras. “And we’re gonna make a family. I don’t want to live with nobody else, I like it here with you.”
Looking at her friend, Chrisean openly ponders, “How you like it here with me when you with ugly bitches?” Afterward, she goes on to insist that she has no plans of staying at the same level, where the “Thotiana” hitmaker seemingly wants to keep her. Rather, she’s ready to elevate.
Elsewhere on screen, the Maryland native was feeling particularly stressed after speaking to her lawyer. In a clip circulating online, she can be seen raising her hands in the air as she sobs.
As Rock walks through a parking lot crying, she’s met by loved ones who openly embrace her in her time of need.
Additionally, the show found the couple feuding about their relationship status after Chrisean leaked a video of her and Blueface having sex on social media. Read more about that drama here, and tap back in with HNHH later for more pop culture news updates.
The infamous Clermont twins first rose to fame on season 14 of Oxygen’s Bad Girls Club series. At the time, both Shannade and Shannon were known for their over-the-top attitudes, as well as the hypersexualization of their bodies. As Hello Beautiful notes, they frequently wore sheer blouses without bras or minimal clothing during filming.
After their stint on the show, the reality stars seemingly fell off the face of the Earth. However, they resurfaced sometime later, having undergone several cosmetic procedures to alter their appearances. By the time Kanye West cast them in his Yeezy Szn 6 campaign, their careers really began to take off.
— the culture | magazine (@galactamelanin) June 14, 2022
As their platforms continued to skyrocket, the newfound fame came with its share of trouble. Unfortunately, Shannade was arrested in 2018 after racking up thousands of dollars on a dead man’s credit card.
A report from The Blast says that the internet star took the information “of a man she had visited for a prostitution date and who was found dead in his apartment the next morning from a drug overdose.” His money went towards her rent, phone bills, and luxury clothing.
Ultimately, she spent one year in prison as a result. After serving her time, though, the Clermont twins look to be back and better than ever – if their latest thirst traps are any indication, that is.

Earlier this month, Shannon shared two sultry photos on her personal Twitter feed. One image sees the sisters holding their breasts as they show off their sculpted hourglass figures from the front.
In the second, they turn around to tease their bodacious behinds and long blonde hair. “Treacherous twins,” she wrote at the time.
More recently, Shannon posted a message about her sister being her “surgery bestie,” leaving some to speculate that they could be going under the knife once again.
