Cardi B Reacts To Instagram’s New GIF Feature, Says “The Twitter Ghettos” Is Where It Belongs

by

In order to keep up with their competitors, social media platforms are constantly launching new updates in hopes of satisfying current users and attracting new ones. In particular, Instagram has released several over the years that have helped elevate their platform. Among them are borrowing Snapchat’s concept of Stories to keeping up with TikTok via Reels. Most recently, they’re attempting to introduce GIFs in an exciting way.

Users have already been able to send the animated images back and forth in their DMs. Now, IG will allow them to respond to both Stories and feed posts with them. This feature is already popular on Twitter, where many use GIFs to their comedic advantage. According to Cardi B, Elon Musk’s app may be where the antics should stay.

On Friday (February 16) evening, the New Yorker wrote, “I know them GIFs ain’t hitting like they hit in the Twitter ghettos.” Her tweet has since earned nearly 7K likes, as well as hundreds of replies agreeing with her. “They need to be original and stick to comments only,” one fan account said.

In response to that, another page chimed in, “Instagram is NEVER original. They don’t know if they want to be TikTok or Twitter [at this point].” Elsewhere, someone else pointed out that IG hasn’t hit the same since they began prioritizing video content. “It’s so ghetto, Instagram needs to go back to pictures!” they demanded.

She’s obviously not be loving Instagram’s newest feature. Still, her followers on the app certainly ate up Cardi’s Super Bowl weekend outfits. During her time on stage, the mother of two put on a tantalizing display in a revealing metallic mini-dress. She also stepped out in Chanel and a pair of Loubitons on game day, though that look wasn’t exactly practical for the event.

On her Story last weekend, the rap diva posted a comedic clip of her and Offset awkwardly running through an Arizona parking lot. At the time, they were attempting to catch Rihanna’s Halftime Show, though Bardi’s footwear proved to be something of a problem.

Bre Tiesi Dismisses Claim That Nick Cannon Missed Valentine’s Day

by

Bre Tiesi just clapped back at social media users who claimed that Nick Cannon skipped Valentine’s Day with her. Moreover, the accusations came after Cannon sent a truckload of balloons and gifts to his baby mama for the holiday on Tuesday. “This is Nick Cannon’s baby mama,” one user wrote on Thursday (February 16). “A little concerned about the environment if he is going to be this extra every time he misses a holiday.” However, the real estate agent quickly clapped back at these claims, sticking by Cannon’s presence and dedication.

“Ain’t nobody miss s**t,” Tiesi wrote in response to trolls who assumed the media personality couldn’t possibly balance things. “We celebrated each other over two days. You want so bad to make him a bad dad and partner y’all pathetic. And you follow me? So WEIRD.” Earlier, she sent love to Nick and said she felt “grateful” for the many gifts he sent her. Moreover, the reality star showed off balloons, chocolates, roses, and many more gifts. What’s more is that she seemed happy to light up the home she shares with their son, eight-month-old Legendary.

Furthermore, Legendary is Cannon’s seventh child, and he’s had four more since then. While many might assume that his relationships strained as a result, Tiesi actually showed much love to Cannon over the holiday season. “Creating memories with my Cannon boys all season long!” she wrote around Christmastime on Instagram. “Legendary didn’t even bat an eye at Santa! He did love daddy burying him in the beans! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.” Also, she responded to a fan message that praised the Masked Singer host for showing up for his kids. “THIS! Nick always shows up. Always present, happy, consistent, loving parent and an even better person! We love u!”

Meanwhile, and kind of ironically, Cannon recently appeared in a spoof Valentine’s Day ad for Christian Mingle. Throughout the short clip, he makes a variety of jokes about his “seed,” the season of love, and inappropriately mixing lewd comments with Christianity. Overall, at least the 42-year-old can have fun with his much-publicized love life. Regardless, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news on Nick Cannon and his family.

Latto Shows Off Over The Top Valentine’s Day Surprise From Her Mystery Man

by

Latto just showed off a lavish Valentine’s Day gift from a mystery admirer, even though the Internet made their guesses. On Wednesday (February 15), the rapper posted an Instagram video showing off her romantically decorated room, which seems to be the big gift. Furthermore, she walked on a bed of rose petals amid candlelight, received a flurry of heart balloons, and a lavishly decorated dinner table with a hefty meal. Overall, it seems like quite the romantic and slightly over-the-top gesture, perfect for the day’s celebration. What’s more is that the whole experience capped off with fireworks.

Moreover, there’s not that many people in the world who could set something up to this level of extravagance. Well, you might get the edge if you’re an incredibly famous and commercially successful rapper. After all, Latto and 21 Savage, on multiple occasions, showed signs of being romantically linked. The latest piece of evidence on the Internet is the “Big Energy” rapper’s new tattoo. Furthermore, the 777 artist apparently tattooed “Sheyaa” (21’s birth name) behind her right ear. So even with no announcement post or red carpet debut, it’s one of the strongest indicators yet of a budding romance.

Still, the Ohio-based MC and singer didn’t let any details fly in this newest post. For her caption, she simply wrote “My man my man my mannnn” with a heart-surrounded smiling emoji. Also, she took the opportunity to plug her newest track “Lottery,” which comes out tomorrow (February 17). In fact, she teased this new single as the birth of “Pop Latto,” and the track does sound infectiously bubbly. Moreover, it might remind some readers of “About Damn Time” by Lizzo, so keep an eye out for it if that sparks your interest.

Meanwhile, she spoke with Atlanta’s Hot 107.9 about why she keeps her relationship under wraps. “This is gonna sound so cliche, but it’s the truth,” she began. “Everything about my life is to be picked apart by social media. I gotta hear everybody’s two cents and opinions on something that don’t got nothing to do with them.” In addition, she said that the fact her connection is real makes it all the more important to protect from outsiders. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest on Latto and, just maybe, 21 Savage.

Ice Spice & Lil Tjay Reportedly Just Friends Despite Valentine’s Day Gift

by

Ice Spice and Lil Tjay are reportedly just friends, despite him gifting Spice a pricey Richard Millie watch for Valentine’s. Before people could confirm their conclusions, though, TMZ Hip Hop reported that they aren’t embroiled in any romance. Moreover, sources close to the “Munch” MC told the publication that the two aren’t romantically engaged. Furthermore, Tjay just wanted to get her something special following their “Gangsta Boo” collaboration. In fact, it might just be a celebration following their charting placement on the Billboard Hot 100.

While many focused on the sentimental gift, others took note of the icy watch itself. NYC-based company Benny the Jeweler showed off Tjay’s $150K purchase, an RM-05 Rose Gold. It comes with a white band, and was available for pick-up on Valentine’s Day from pure coincidence. Of course, the fact that Tjay was the only feature on Spice’s Like..? EP raises eyebrows, as well. Still, maybe hopefuls should just let a man buy his industry friend a crazy expensive gift in peace. At least, for now, as any interaction between the two only gives the Internet more receipts and speculative material.

What’s more is that their track would’ve made for a killer music video if it weren’t for Lil Tjay’s unfortunate arrest. Moreover, authorities took him in for gun possession just moments before they scheduled to start filming for the MV. However, at least the “Bikini Bottom” sensation was able to shoot a visual for her track “In Ha Mood.” As two Bronx representatives in the hip-hop game, they linked previously for more charitable endeavors. For example, they hosted a turkey drive for Thanksgiving in their neighborhood community. But it seems the friendship is just that and nothing more.

Meanwhile, Ice Spice showed no signs of slowing down in 2023, given her EP release and multiple headlines in the media landscape. For one, people are going crazy over surfaced old pictures of her, as it’s not every day we get to see a star before their come-up. Also, she became the latest rap artist to deal with unruly crowds at a Brooklyn nightclub, which might be the case for future live shows. After all, she’s one of the most in-demand and talked-about artists of the moment, and there’s much more to come. Check back in with HNHH for the latest on Ice Spice and Lil Tjay.

Ex-Lakers Star Trevor Ariza’s Wife Asks For Restraining Order, Alleges Abuse

by

Five months after filing for divorce, Trevor Ariza’s wife is asking for the court’s help. Bree Anderson reportedly married the former Los Angeles Lakers star in 2018, but in September, she officially requested to end her marriage. TMZ stated Anderson listed the reason for the split as “irreconcilable differences,” but RadarOnline reports she wants a restraining order against her ex. The outlet stated they looked at court documents that revealed Anderson’s accusations of domestic abuse.

Anderson is said to have filed a petition requesting the courts order Ariza to not only stay away from her but to block him from contacting her, as well. The pair share two children, and in her initial divorce filing, Anderson said she wanted physical and legal custody of the kids. In her new paperwork, she claimed she “fears for her safety” and doesn’t want Ariza in or near her home.

Additionally, Anderson agreed to Ariza’s visitation with the children, but she asked for it to be supervised. She also noted that her ex “engaged in acts of extreme physical abuse towards me.” Anderson wrote, “He was verbally and emotionally abusive to me. Some of the abuse occurred in the presence of our children.”

Further, Anderson explained that she didn’t leave her husband in the past because she was finally dependent on Ariza. When she filed for divorce, Anderson hoped the alleged abuse would cease. However, she claimed it didn’t help her situation and said Ariza “threatens [her] on a regular basis.” The ex-Laker reportedly called her a “hoe” and “b*tch” with their kids nearby. Because he lives less than a mile from her residence, she is concerned for her safety.

Anderson also alleged that Ariza had gone into her home without permission. She also stated that Ariza won’t pay child support and has threatened to take their children from her. “He thinks he has the right to come and go from my residence as he pleases,” she said. Anderson accused her ex of throwing her onto a bed before choking her. In another incident, she claimed he repeatedly punched her. She referenced a text message where the baller allegedly admitted to being physically violent. Ariza has not answered his wife’s allegations publicly.

Ice Spice’s High School Volleyball Photo Surfaces Online

by

Now that Ice Spice has obviously made a name for herself, many are wondering about the New Yorkers’ humble beginnings. We recently learned that her dream before rapping fell into her life was to pursue a career in acting. Additionally, she’s revealed some of her biggest rap influences, and how she crafted her stage name.

The 23-year-old can obviously tell us all about her past. Still, we all know a picture is worth a thousand words. Thankfully, internet sleuths have been able to unearth photos from Spice’s time in high school, including her yearbook photo. When that began circulating social media some weeks ago, users were quick to point out the resemblance between the rising artist and Lauren London.

Of course, not everyone agreed. However, many couldn’t deny that seeing the “Bikini Bottom” hitmaker sporting straight black hair rather than her usual tight red curls made them look incredibly alike. On her “In Ha Mood” single, Spice even seemingly referenced the comparisons, rapping, “Pretty face like Lauren and a big ass butt.”

On Tuesday (February 14), yet another throwback photo of the Bronx native appeared online. This one proves that she previously spent some time dabbling in athletics. The slightly blurry image sees a much younger Isis Gaston sporting her usual curly hair. She offers the camera a closed-mouth smile while seemingly kneeling in her high school volleyball uniform.

During her time on the team, Spice proudly repped number four. According to a TikTok posted earlier this year, she went on to play for Purchase College Athletics Women’s Volleyball after graduating. Thanks to a scholarship, she was also allegedly able to study Biology while playing the sport she loves.

Megan Fox & Machine Gun Kelly Attend Couple’s Counselling, Leave Separately

by

For more than one celebrity couple, this Valentine’s Day has been far more heartbreaking than happy. Firstly we witnessed DDG and Halle Bailey’s relationship face turmoil after Rubi Rose exposed him on social media. That was undeniably painful to watch. Still, it certainly doesn’t top the breakup rumours currently swirling around Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly.

The engaged pair’s weekend looked to be off to a good start. The recording artist performed at a party on Friday (February 10) night. Afterward, he and his fiancée stepped out together for Drake’s party. By Saturday, things apparently took a turn for the worst as Fox wasn’t spotted at her partner’s second pre-Super Bowl performance.

On Sunday (February 12), more internet sleuths caught on to the apparent drama as the Transformers actress deleted all photos of MGK from her profile. Additionally, she unfollowed him, and instead followed his known enemy, Eminem, along with Harry Styles and Timothee Chalamet. To add insult to injury, Fox also quoted Beyoncé’s LEMONADE in a telling post about dishonesty. Shortly after, she completely deleted her Instagram profile.

It didn’t take long for rumours of cheating on Kelly’s part to begin floating around, though nothing has been confirmed at this time. On Monday, PEOPLE quoted sources as saying that 36-year-old removed her engagement ring due to a major fight between the couple during their time in Arizona. “They have had issues in the past, but things seem pretty serious this time,” they said.

On Tuesday (February 14), it was reported that paparazzi cameras caught Fox and the “Wild Boy” rapper together in Agoura Hills, California, the day before. Daily Mail says they arrived in separate cars at a building where several couple and marriage counsellors have offices. They spent approximately two and a half hours inside but ultimately left in different vehicles again afterward.

The blurry photos snapped show the controversial couple leaving their appointment in casual clothing. The Jennifer’s Body lead wore a purple top, baggy jeans, and sneakers, while MGK opted for an all-black ensemble. Do you think Megan Fox and Colson Baker will end their relationship for good? Sound off in the comments, and check back later for any updates on the situation.

Biden Administration Denies Aliens Were Behind Multiple UFOs Spotted In North America

by

Many North Americans were tuning into this past weekend’s Super Bowl. Elsewhere, others were feeling rising anxiety over the increasing number of UFOs appearing over the continent this month. It all began with the Chinese spy balloon, which was previously shot down under President Joe Biden’s orders. Since then, three more unidentified aerial items have been shot down across Canada and the U.S.

The most recent was first spotted on Saturday (February 11) over Michigan’s Great Lakes. Authorities were quick to remove it, announcing that airspace in the area was shut down on Sunday. The UFO was apparently a potential risk to human air travel, resulting in its removal.

As the news continues to spread, many have been speculating about the potential of alien involvement. In fact, even NORAD Commander and General, Glen Van Herck, has said that he’s “not ruling out the possibility of extraterrestrial activity.” However, on Monday (February 13), the White House made attempts to shut down this narrative in a press conference.

Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre made it clear that the Biden Administration does not believe otherworldly creatures are to blame for the sudden UFO surge. “There is no indication of aliens or extra-terrestrial activity with these recent takedowns. Again, there is no indication of aliens or terrestrial activity with these recent takedowns,” she explicitly stated.

The speaker acknowledged that the White House is aware of the circulating theories. Still, they remain sure that this isn’t an E.T.-related incident. However, as TMZ notes, Jean-Pierre – or National Security who spoke after her – were able to provide clear answers regarding the aerial objects.

During his time on the podium, NSK spokesman John Kirby explained that the U.S. still hasn’t been able to properly assess their latest finds. At this time, the process of collecting material from the discovery location and subsequently studying it is still unfolding. The details he could provide reveal that the latest UFOs “had no discernable communication systems, no propulsion systems and no real maneuvering capabilities.”

The mysterious creations also had no passengers when they went down. The government says they’re not balloon-type crafts, like the Chinese balloon was, though they can’t find an accurate way to describe them just yet. As lawmakers continue to demand answers, Biden has authorized an inter-agency team. This brings the State Department, Defense Department, and Office of National Intelligence together for further investigation on the matter.

Do you think the Biden Administration is being honest about the lack of alien involvement in the UFOs? Sound off in the comments, and check back later for any updates.

Amber Rose’s OnlyFans Lights Up With Valentine’s Day Backshots

by

Valentine’s Day is for lovers, but that doesn’t mean single girls can’t have fun too. Couples have been sharing plenty of mushy romantic content on their Instagram profiles today. Elsewhere, several of our favourite bachelorettes are taking the opportunity to thirst trap away. On Monday (February 13), Khloé Kardashian caught her ex’s eye while showing off her bikini body. This morning (February 14), Amber Rose put almost all of her goods on display.

In the caption of her salacious post, the famous blonde wrote, “Keep the flowers, send a hunnid thousand.” Afterward, she directed followers to the link in her bio, where they can find her OnlyFans account, before wishing the world a Happy Valentine’s Day. The accompanying image sees Rose nude on her knees on the floor. She’s clearly showing off her entire behind and crotch for the camera.

Unfortunately for thirsty users, a giant heart eyes emoji prevents them from seeing any NSFW content. If they want to see any more of the 39-year-old’s famous figure, they’ll have to pay the discounted $11.99/month fee to join.

Of course, plenty of fellow celebrities are markedly gassing Rose up for confidently showing off her curves. Julia Fox, Sidney Starr, and Hazel E are standout names from the comments so far. Unfortunately, some haters have been bashing the Philadelphia native for her antics. Specifically, they’re claiming that her two sons will “hate [her] in a few years.” These responses don’t seem to bother the entertainer, who recently opened up about her decision to explain her adult work to her 9-year-old so he doesn’t find out elsewhere on the internet.

Rose’s promiscuous nature and OnlyFans certainly keep her at the forefront of fans’ minds, but that’s not the only reason she’s made headlines lately. Earlier this month, the mother of two was one of many celebrities who walked the Grammys red carpet. While speaking with Hollywood Unlocked at the event, she spilled plenty of tea to the world.

Not only did Amber hint at the possibility of her appearing on Jason Lee’s new podcast, but she also revealed her current dream music collaborations. One of them is Memphis legend GloRilla, and the other is a female rap artist whose been rapidly on the rise. Read all the details here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Olivia Wilde Thinks A$AP Rocky Is Hotter Than Ever After Watching Him Hype Up Rihanna

by

The Super Bowl has been one of the biggest events of the year so far, and not solely because of the NFL Championship game. As you’ve surely heard, Rihanna was recruited to headline the Halftime show. During her set, she made a major announcement of her own. Thanks to the growing baby bump evident during her performance, the world now knows she’s expecting her second child with A$AP Rocky.

Immediate reactions from fans obviously included excitement. However, there were plenty of jealous users expressing their emotions on social media, as well as those shocked by the news of another pregnancy when their son was born just nine months ago.

All eyes were on Rihanna as she sang some of her discography’s biggest songs. Elsewhere, cameras simultaneously kept a close watch on Rocky to get his reaction. Not only did the “Fashion Killa” celebrate his partner with a custom NFL jacket, but he also proudly filmed her from the audience before erupting into applause as she wrapped her set. Videos of the precious moment have been subsequently circulating online, earning the New Yorker plenty of praise for supporting the Bad Gal.

Among those chiefly complimenting him is Don’t Worry Darling director Olivia Wilde, who’s currently facing serious backlash for her comments. “If I thought he was hot before, this really put me over the edge,” she wrote while reposting the video on her Story on Sunday (February 12). As the blonde starlet’s post began making rounds online, users quickly questioned why she felt the need to publicly talk about another woman’s man in such a manner.

“Saying this about someone’s man and then tagging them???” one person wrote alongside a reaction video of Rih. “She needs to back up a little bit,” another pointed out, while someone else suggested, “Use close friends like normal people???”

Wilde has since gotten wind of her hater’s thoughts and didn’t hesitate to post another Story addressing the situation. “For anyone who got it twisted [eye roll emoji],” she began. “It’s hot to respect your partner. Especially when your partner just did thaaaaaat.”
