Cardi B Shows Off Gym Outfit In New Video

by

Cardi B re-entered the minds of many fans last week. After earlier this year telling fans that her highly anticipated new album wasn’t coming out until 2024, she might still be dropping something before this year is out. “I feel like I gotta talk my s*** a little bit,” she said in a Twitter space earlier this month. While that isn’t a concrete confirmation of any kind, it’s clear that Cardi at least has something on her mind and could release a new song addressing it. Many fans think she’s particularly upset about having her work ethic questioned online after so much time without a new album.

Today, she’s back in the news after sharing a new video online of her gym fit. She shared a short clip to her Instagram story earlier today that seems to be a sponsored post. She shows off the leggings that she wears to the gym while pointing out where fans can get them in the attached link. In the comments of a repost of the video fans react to it. Some point out that it would only look good from the right angle, or that it’s impractical for working out, others simply give Cardi credit for how good she looks. Check out the video and fan reactions to it below.

Cardi B’s Gym Look

Despite seeming to tease new music, Cardi also said in an Instagram live a few days later that she was taking a hiatus from music. Or at least that’s what fans thought she said before she took to Twitter a few days later to clarify. She told everyone that she’s more focused on staying away from social media as much as possible, not taking a break from writing and recording music.

Over the weekend, GQ announced their honorees for “Men Of The Year.” While Cardi’s husband Offset wasn’t included, she made sure to still hype him up on Twitter after the event. What do you think of Cardi B sharing her gym outfit in what appears to be a sponsored post to social media? Let us know in the comment section below.

Does Erica Mena Have A BBL? Fans React To Reality Star’s Gym Video

by

Erica Mena treated her fans to a glance at her gym progress. In an Instagram post, Mena flexed and flaunted in yoga pants that looked painted on and a colorful sports bra. While Mena looked absolutely fire, fans weren’t really buying the thirst trap.

“No matter how cute or sexy anyone is, if their heart isn’t pure, looks won’t matter!!” one person wrote. “It’s not giving what she thinks,” added another. Furthermore, people roasted her for her enhanced proportions. “Stop glorifying this, BBL is one of the most dangerous operations, not worth the life of a mother, sister, daughter… queens, our beauty is God given 🙏🏼,” one person preached. “Idc who you are, if you got plastic surgery, do not posts pics in the gym,” added another.

Erica Mena Breaks Silence On L&HH Firing And Israel-Palestine

Meanwhile, Mena has been speaking out on a number of issues in a recent spate of interviews. Of particular note, Mena reflected on the hypocrisy on her firing from Love & Hip Hop. “When it happened, I knew I f-cked up that day. But then I was filming for months and months. I knew it was coming, but I wasn’t expecting it to be this bad. What’s not okay is [that] if this is as bad as the network says it is, why wasn’t I let go of a long time ago?” Mena told Carlos King in their recent interview.

Furthermore, in a separate interview, Mena spoke on the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict. She seemingly came down on the side of Palestine, making a fiery statement about the conflict. “I love y’all, I appreciate y’all. I just want to clarify that because I really don’t want anyone to feel any type of way towards me. I just really cannot be quiet knowing this is going on. This is literally a genocide in 2023. And us as Americans, we should do our part. We live in a free country, let’s be free to do what’s right for humanity, not religion, not land, not government, not politics, humanity,” Mena said in a recent Instagram Live.

Jaden Smith Calls Out Haters: “Damn Can a Man Have His Phases”

by

Jaden Smith is tired of the body slander! And rightfully so. He’s glowed up and is calling out the haters who are still tying him to his old ways. Specifically, he took to X to share a before-and-after photo of him self from his skinnier days. The “before” snapshot showcases a leaner version of himself from a few years ago. While the “after” photo portrays a current image where he’s seen confidently lifting weights at the gym, revealing a visibly bulkier physique. “Haters Will Post The One On The Left And Ignore The One On The Right,” Jaden typed. “Like [throw up emoji], Damn Can A Man Have His Phases [shrug emoji].”

The artist and actor has had a major transformation and evolution in recent years. And is no longer willing to be tied to his earlier self. It’s clear that Jaden Smith has been on a journey of self-discovery and self-improvement. And he’s determined to make his message clear. The message is body positivity and self-acceptance are essential. However, this isn’t a newfound journey for Jaden, as he’s been taking steps to improve his overall mental health as well. Specifically, he’s detailed his use of psychedelics to help him maintain relationships and contribute to his overall wellbeing.

Jaden’s Been In The Gym

Subsequently, in efforts to shed light on the way he thinks, Jaden Smith recently gave insight on his family’s journey into the world of psychedelics. He said it was his mother, Jada Pinkett Smith, that took the pioneering step. Speaking as a guest speaker at the Psychedelic Science conference in Denver, Smith shared his experiences with psychedelic substances. He revealed that it was his mother who initially introduced the family to these mind-altering compounds, a revelation reported by Essence. “It will actually help us to open up our minds to get out of the old ways of thinking that got us into lots of these arguments and open it up so that it just releases and makes room for you to work it out and massage it out until it’s completely gone,” Jaden explained.

Moreover, Jaden’s commitment to health and fitness has not only transformed his physique but also serves as an inspiration for his fans and followers. In a society that frequently idealizes certain body types, Jaden’s willingness to share his transformation challenges unrealistic standards. Even for men! And it promotes a more inclusive and positive body image narrative. As he continues to evolve as an artist and actor, Jaden Smith’s journey serves as a powerful reminder that power lies in the acceptance of oneself. By sharing his transformation, he’s reminding everyone that we all have a phase.

Rod Wave Warns Haters He’s Going To Start Hitting The Gym

by

Rod Wave haters beware. In a recent livestream, the rapper outlined his fitness. “All y’all calling out my name, making fun of me. I’m going to hit the gym, I’m gon get my motherfucking six-pack. We finna gonna tighten up. And I’m gonna get everybody back, man.” We hope that Wave’s fitness journey goes well and he gets the results that he wants from it.

Wave has gotten a lot of hate for his physique, with many people resorting to fat-shaming and other nasty comments to make fun of the artist. To illustrate that point, the comments of the clip shared by Akademiks were full of people making fun of Wave. “He finna get a 6 pack of cheeseburgers,” one person wrote. “Yeah cus he needa get rid of that jello pack,” added another.

Wave Gets Massive First-Week Projection

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

Haters can keep hating, but Wave is living it large right now. The first-week projections for his new album, Nostalgia, have sales of 130,000 to 140,000. That could see him take #1 on the Billboard 200, a spot currently occupied by Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts. In fact #1 and #2 are both new releases on the current chart, with V’s Layover coming in at #2. However, it’s not like there isn’t precedent for it. Wave’s last two albums, SoulFly and Beautiful Mind, both hit #1. Furthermore, all four of his previous albums are certified platinum. He might not be the first name that comes to mind in terms of “rap success” but he certainly has the data to back it up.

Additionally, what makes the projection even more impressive is that Nostalgia is not carried by a wealth of features. Wave is a pretty niche artist and there’s no harm in that. However, the 18-track project has just three features, with the biggest name collab being with 21 Savage. The other features are indie band Wet and rising star Sadie Jean. However, we will have to wait and see whether Wave is able to take that #1 spot from Rodrigo next week.

Ja Morant Posts Up In The Gym Ahead Of NBA Season

by

Ja Morant has been spotted working out in the gym as the start of the NBA season draws closer. Morant will miss the first 25 games of the 2023-24 season as he serves as suspension for his second offense of flashing a gun on Instagram Live. It’s the second piece of offseason footage we have of Morant. In late August, an Instagram user posted clips of Morant working out with David Roddy and GG Jackson.

Morant is expected to return on December 23, the first in a four-game Christmas road trip for the Grizzlies. However, the 2022/23 two-seed will have to find a way to stay competitive without their star player for the first almost-third of the season. With the Western Conference becoming increasingly stack during the offseason, it’s hard to say where the Grizzlies will be when Morant returns to the team.

However, Morant’s legal troubles might just be beginning. In July 2022, Morant reportedly got into an altercation with Joshua Holloway, who was 17 at the time. Holloway had been attending a pick-up game at Morant’s home in Tennessee. There, he claims he was assaulted by Morant and Morant’s friend Davonte Pack. An initial investigation was opened and quickly closed, with no charges filed. However, a Washington Post report, released alongside a civil suit filed by Holloway, revealed a lot of questionable details in the original investigation. Morant is now embroiled in that suit, which alleges assault, reckless endangerment, abuse or neglect, and infliction of emotional distress. However, Morant has filed a countersuit for slander, battery, and assault.

Per court filings from July, Morant’s team is arguing that Morant has immunity under Tennessee’s Stand Your Ground law. This allows an individual to act with force in self-defense if threatened on their own property. This stems from the claim that Morant only hit Holloway after Holloway struck Morant in the chin with a basketball. While Morant’s team has claimed that this was deliberate, Holloway’s team has argued that the then-teenager was simply performing a “ready check”. However, it is important to clarify that Morant’s team does not deny that Morant did indeed hit Holloway. Instead, it’s the circumstances and reasons for the assault that they dispute. The judge has set a hearing date of October 12 to hear the motion.

Gunna Keeps Hitting The Gym & Sculpting His Shape In New Picture

by

Gunna was away from the game for a while, but this year, he fully returned to hip-hop in ways big and small. Sure, his reintroduction fell under scrutiny and controversy due to his plea deal, but he’s certainly seen a lot of success regardless. For example, fans mostly responded positively to his new album, a Gift & a Curse, with “fukumean” becoming one of the year’s biggest rap hits. However, the YSL affiliate also revamped his public image in the purely physical sense, and started doing so far before dropping new music. With this new picture, we now have a lot of chapters in the saga of Wunna’s physical transformation.

Moreover, a new snap shows Gunna working out in athletic gear, and it’s almost too hard to recognize him. That would be true even if the picture was from another angle, since this one just captures his side profile. Still, that consideration didn’t stop fans from expressing their impressed, shocked, and downright incredulous reactions to the College Park MC’s bulk-up. While people sometimes cruelly clowned him for being a big boy compared to other rappers in his lane, that’s definitely not a valid joke to make anymore.

Gunna Shows Off More Workout Gains

What’s more is that it seems like the 30-year-old doesn’t even have to try very hard to show up in the news. There’s already been a lot of conversation around his physical transformation, but now there’s a lot of memes tying him to Donald Trump. After all, the disgraced president hired the same lawyer that got Gunna his plea deal to help him out in one of his four criminal indictments. Even though it doesn’t help the “snitching” allegations, it’s a pretty comical and curious connection from two people we can’t imagine in the same room together.

Meanwhile, it’s hard to tell what’s next for the Drip Season artist- at least, when it comes to his career. We know he’ll probably stay on his gym grind, but more releases, collaborations, and a higher profile in the game is still up in the air. It wouldn’t be surprising, but many fans wonder whether his history behind bars will ever catch up to him, especially as the YSL trial moves forward. With that in mind, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Gunna.

Blac Chyna’s Body Looks Seriously Shredded In New Gym Video

by

Even before BBLs reached their peak in popularity, Blac Chyna has long been one of the first names that comes to mind when cosmetically enhanced figures come up in conversation. While working as a stripper in her younger years, the mother of two got butt injections to fill out her slim thick figure. She’s also had several breast augmentations done, not to mention rounds of facial filler. While they definitely gave her an animated, entertaining look, as she moves into her mid-30s, Chyna has decided to embrace her natural beauty.

After dissolving, reducing, or removing the treatments previously put in her body, the former OnlyFans creator is dedicating herself to the gym. Multiple times throughout the week Chyna – born Angela White – shares videos of her high-intensity workouts, sometimes even bringing her daughter, Dream Kardashian, along to join in. On Saturday (August 19), her feed lit up with another post from the gym, this one showcasing her toned arms throwing some ropes to build their strength up even more.

Blac Chyna Looks Stronger Than Ever Before

In her caption, the beauty mogul hinted that she’s got a fitness line of her own coming in the near future. Chyna already sells luxury hair extensions on her profile, and this looks to be just the latest endeavour as she works toward building an empire of her own. “@heartspurefitness coming soon… You ready?” she asked followers, prompting them to send in dozens of excited replies in the comment section.

As she continues on her journey toward healing, Blac Chyna has been sharing plenty of diverse content with us on Instagram. It all began with her videos documenting her decision to remove her injections and implants earlier this year. More recently, she’s drumming up nostalgia for her teenage days with a throwback photo taken at 17 years old. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

JackBoy Flexes Home Gym While Claiming BandMan Kevo Has A BBL

by

JackBoy has perpetuated the rumors that BadMan Kevo has a BBL. Appearing in a live stream video, Jackboy flexed a collection of workout equipment in his home. “For y’all don’t have to be on none of these hard drugs. For y’all don’t have to go get no surgeries and be laying on your back. Laying on your back getting the BBL like BandMan. Imma show you everything you need. This all you need at the crib.” At this point, Jackboy shows off two 50 lb barbells. And look, I just got this. Get you a pull up bar. Dip bar. No sir. This is all you crib. So you don’t need, don’t go get no BBL.”

Despite the fact that there is literally no evidence that BandMan has gotten the risky surgery, the rumors still persist. But the real question is – why does it matter? For real, why does it matter if he went under the knife to get a fatter ass? If that’s what he wants, then good for him. We as a society have demonized cosmetic surgery. Sure, a BBL is a very risky proceed and we have very recently seen the tragic consequences of the procedure. However, wanting the surgery is not the problem. Wanting a bigger ass is not the problem. The problem, at least to society as a whole, is that a BBL is considered feminine. Having a big ass is considered feminine. And god forbid that a man not be flat as a board and covered in muscle.

JackBoy BandMan BBL Rumors

Because at the end of the day, that’s the real issue. JackBoy isn’t saying “don’t get a BBL because it’s dangerous”. JackBoy is saying “Don’t get a BBL because men shouldn’t get BBLs.” That’s why he’s wondering around his dingy garage showing off workout equipment. That’s what real men should do – work out and build muscle. You shouldn’t have a fat ass, you should have a muscular ass. But all of this ties into the innate and systemic homophobia that is prevalent in our society. Men should not look feminine. Men shouldn’t behave in feminine ways such as hugging other men.

It’s all bullshit. Be the person you want to be. If that includes defying gender norms, absolutely go ahead and defy those gender norms. Have the ass you want to have. Use the pronouns you want to use. Dress the way that you want to dress. Don’t let society shame you into conforming to a Western gender binary. Absolutely be who you want to be. Again, there is absolutely no evidence that BandMan has gotten a BBL. But if he has, then there is not a damn thing wrong with that. And if you think there is, you are the problem.

Dwight Howard Showcases Gym Workouts With His Kids

by

Dwight Howard is nothing if not a workhorse basketball player. The first overall pick in 2004, he went on to have a dominant career in the NBA. Eight-time all-star, five-time all-NBA first team, a championship in 2020. Furthermore, his defense was truly elite. He won back-to-back-to-back Defensive Player of the Year awards and made four all-defensive first teams. Add in an Olympic gold medal and a host of other accolades and you have a first-ballot Hall of Famer right there.

However, Howard isn’t technically retired. Starting in 2022, Howard has been playing in the Taiwanese League. At the end of his first season, he had captured an all-star nod and Most Valuable Import. He also earned first-team honors for both the league as a whole and all-defense. Additionally, he led the team in rebounding. Now it appears that Howard is sharing his mentality with his children.

Howard Preaches Hard Work In Gym Videos

“In the process of being GREAT it’s going to be laughs, frowns, smiles, tears, blood, and sweat but that’s what is needed for us to succeed as individuals and also collectively as a family 🙏🏾I’m just teaching my kids what it means to be resilient, to be determined and to have discipline. Every day is a battle and some battles are going to be harder to win than others, but we have to fight them until we WIN!And if we WIN the day every day we’ll never lose in the end ! We have to finish every mission we begin and follow through. That’s the most important part ! Never say you can’t! Remember Philippians 4:13 🤔… YOU CAN and you will! Just follow through. That’s how you be Great 🙏🏾,” Howard wrote on Instagram.

The caption accompanied a collection of videos of Howard putting his kids through fairly intense workouts. In one video, he leads his kids into their home gym with the caption “Me & my kids walking into the gym @ 7am every morning”. Another shows Howard encouraging his visibly upset son to push through the pain to complete a workout on a stationary bike. His kids are also seen boxing with full pads. In a calmer image, Howard is seen doing Tai Chi with his daughters. For the record, Philippians 4:13 reads “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”
