Lil Uzi Vert Addresses Leslie Haters

by

Lil Uzi Vert recently turned heads yet again when they debuted a new alter ego, Leslie, at Rolling Loud Thailand. Unfortunately, the androgynous moniker and personality didn’t get the best reception from fans and media online, or at least the hate was enough to warrant a response from Uzi. Moreover, they recently took to their Instagram Story to stand by the new identity and to defend their new look and style. Of course, the Philly icon is always one to subvert, change their flow, and make headlines for their art in all of its facets.

“Chow understand people always don’t like ways of Chow,” Lil Uzi Vert posted on their Instagram Stories on Wednesday night (April 19). Furthermore, that confirms that Leslie is a reference to Leslie Chow, a character in the film The Hangover portrayed by Ken Jeong. It’s an unsurprisingly eccentric point of inspiration that’s as tongue-in-cheek as it is challenging. “But Chow don’t give af Chow rich and never look back ….. Suck my monkey tail LESLIE OUT.” It was a succinct and quick response, which actually differs from the more thoughtful and elaborate reflections Uzi offered on topics like sobriety.

Lil Uzi Vert Defends Leslie

Regardless of their new namesake, many in the industry clowned Lil Uzi Vert for the announcement, whether lightly or insensitively. For example, Nicki Minaj suggested that they looked like her in the “Bedrock” music video, which is a light and generally harmless jab. However, people took more issue with people like Karlae responding in the comments on Uzi’s post with laughing emojis. Even though that seems harmless as well, it’s a fine line to walk when other bigoted people have an issue with this new identity. As such, many felt like this was an indication of people not taking Uzi seriously.

Meanwhile, JT recently blasted people criticizing her and Lil Uzi Vert’s style, defending her boo. Through replying to detractors on Twitter, she asked people to stop making so many assumptions and criticisms of their choices. After all, their movement and artistic choices are for nobody else but them. Still, both artists have a lot more on the horizon when it comes to their careers that makes these criticisms moot in the long term. With that in mind, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Lil Uzi Vert.

Summer Walker Claps Back At Instagram Trolls

by

Summer Walker is not going to stand for any slander about her children. The R&B singer, who just turned 27, took to Instagram to post about the happy occasion. In the caption, she opened up about achieving so much success at a young age. She also expressed gratitude for her career and her children. “I can’t believe all I’ve accomplished being so young,” Walker said. “3 beautiful healthy kids, rich in love, rich in wealth, rich in knowledge, rich in spirit, & most importantly rich in happiness.”

Summer Walker got her start in 2017 when she signed with Interscope Records. She released her first mixtape, Last Day of Summer, the following year. Then, in 2019, the singer got her first Top 20 hit with the song “Playing Games.” The song was a cut from her first studio album, Over It. The album itself broke the record for the biggest streaming debut week for a female R&B artist. It has since been certified platinum. Walker’s sophomore album, Still Over It, was released in 2021. It debuted at Number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. She also broke her own streaming record set by her debut album. This May, Walker plans to release her second EP, Clear 2: Soft Life.

Walker Says 3 Kids Is Only The Beginning

On Walker’s Instagram post, many were quick to show their shock at her age. Many seemed not to know that she already had three children. Furthermore, some said that she was far too young to have that many kids. “27 w 3 kids,” one said. “Sounds like you rich in misery to me.” Another user was quick to rush to Walker’s defense, however. “Just bc your mom was 3 kids deep and miserable don’t mean the next woman is…” they responded. “27 and RICH is what she said.”

Summer Walker herself seems to have seen the comments because she responded on her Instagram stories. Unlike the users in the comments, Walker stayed as classy as possible in her response. “I would literally be SO sad if I ain’t have 3 kids right now,” she said. “Once I sign some more checks Ima have more.” Looks like the singer remains unbothered by the trolls. Do you think 27 is too young to have 3 kids? Sound off in the comments below.

Coi Leray Reminds Us She’s “Skinny And Proud” As Haters Urge Her To Eat More

by

Oftentimes, women are criticized for being too heavy, but Coi Leray has the opposite problem. Rather than dealing with obsessive internet trolls counting her every calorie, the “Players” hitmaker regularly hears from those who think she should be eating more and gaining weight. Understandably, the rising artist gets tired of the discourse every now and then, causing her to expertly clap back on social media. Most recently, she turned to Twitter on Thursday (April 6) to get a few things off her chest.

“Skinny and proud,” she wrote yesterday afternoon. In a follow-up post, the 25-year-old added, “People be like you need to eat. Only thing I’m eating is this motherf*cking hit.” Much to her fan’s pleasure, Leray then went on to tease another new release on the way. “Actually… I’m ready to eat another one… Ready for more music?”

Coi Leray Responds to Trolls Criticizing Her Weight

The upcoming single will follow plenty of huge collaborations for the Trendsetter. She teamed up with David Guetta and Anne-Marie for “Baby Don’t Hurt Me,” as well as Tokischa for yet another remix of “Players.” Additionally, we heard her reimagine Sabrina Carpenter’s “Nonsense,” as well as work with Busta Rhymes and DJ Saige. Aside from drumming up excitement for what’s to come, Leray also made it known that she’s got a few other noteworthy personality traits aside from her size.

“Skinny with good p*ssy,” one salacious tweet on her timeline reads. “Skinny and talented,” the Massachusetts native bragged in another one. In the replies, plenty of followers have been supporting her amid her self-love journey. “As you should be!!!” one of them typed. “You inspire many girls like myself daily to love our natural bodies. Rather than jumping on a table you embrace yours, I think that’s why a lot of people love you and your confidence.” Another chimed in with, “You and Glo make me feel less insecure about my size three every day. Thank y’all.” Keep scrolling to read more posts from Coi Leray’s Twitter page and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Kodak Black Blasts Trump Haters

by

Donald Trump’s indictment and subsequent stint in police custody shook the news world recently, and Kodak Black is done with people “hating” on No. 45. Moreover, he took to his Instagram Live to vent about the reception to Trump’s arrest, namely people celebrating it. For those unaware, authorities arraigned and arrested the former president on Tuesday (April 4) on 34 felony counts for falsifying New York business records before the 2016 election. Also, his charges relate to a hush money fund set up to silence porn star Stormy Daniels for their involvements together. Even with all that in mind, Yak is sticking by Trump.

“I feel like these people are on some other s**t,” the Florida rapper ranted to his Instagram followers. “They are trying to get Trump out the way cause Trump a stand-up n***a. [Joe] Biden will let a n***a do anything. Trump is a real n***a. He’s a soldier. It ain’t how he snapped for a n***a. It ain’t even about that. Trump already had big baggage. Luggage. Y’all get off Trump, man.” Given Trump’s pardon of Kodak for falsifying records, the MC’s support is, at the very least, reciprocal and thankful. After all, it’s rare for people in Yak’s position to get any sort of empathy, justice, or even consideration from the powers that be, which is something he must deeply appreciate.

Kodak Black Defends Trump

Of course, that didn’t stop people from calling the 25-year-old out online over his support of the disgraced politician. Also, this assessment comes as the 76-year-old gave an inflammatory and conspiratorial first speech after indictment to supporters in Mar-a-Lago. “They can’t beat us at the ballot box, so they try to beat us through the law,” he stated. “The only crime that I’ve committed is to fearlessly defend our nation from those who seek to destroy it. The criminal is the district attorney because he illegally leaked massive amounts of grand jury information, for which he should be prosecuted — or at a minimum, he should resign.”

Regardless of his words, many hope that true justice will see the light of day in this historic and surreal case. While it’s worrisome to see this happen to a democratically elected president, at least the extent of his crimes are finally being held accountable. For people like Kodak Black, though, they have to reckon with being on the good side of the wrong side of history. For the latest on Kodak Black and more big updates on the Trump indictment, stick around on HNHH.

Lil Pump Says He’s Never Met A Hater In Person

by

Lil Pump says that the only negative interactions he’s had with haters have taken place in the comments sections of his posts. Speaking with Complex for a recent interview, the 22-year-old rapper says that it’s always “all love” in person.

“More people love me than hate me,” Pump began. “And I’ma say this right now: everybody who talks shit in my comments – every single body – I have never to this day seen one person walk up to me and say that shit to my face. Everything is on the internet. Nobody has ever walked up to my face and said nothing crazy. So this shit’s not even real. It’s fake to me.”

He continued: “I see thousands of comments, everybody talking shit. But you see me in person, the first thing everybody does, ‘Oh Pump, let me get a picture!’ Like, it’s all love. They don’t ever say crazy shit to my face. But it is what it is. I’m just making music to have fun. And if I piss you off, I piss you off. Oh well.”

The remarks come after the release of Pump’s latest album, Lil Pump 2. The project sees Pump collaborate with YoungBoy Never Broke Again, Rio Da Yung OG, Smokepurpp, Ty Dolla Sign, and G4 Boyz. It was preceded by five singles, including “All the Sudden”, “Splurgin”, “Mosh Pit”, “She Know”, and “Tesla.” One song to spark up reactions from haters online was “Pump Rock X Heavy Metal,” which features Pump venturing outside of hip-hop. “Lil Pump’s metal song is objectively ass. Is this a controversial opinion?” one user tweeted after the release. Another joked, “The lil pump heavy metal song sounds like a family guy cutaway clip where Peter talks about that one time lil pump made a heavy metal song about stereotypical metal.” Check out Pump’s comments with Complex below.

Doja Cat Reacts To Plastic Surgery Haters In Her Usual Fashion

by

By now, those who still follow Doja Cat on Twitter have become accustomed to the singer’s unusual online antics. She’s never shied away from sending out random, and sometimes unintelligible messages. More recently, she’s been sending out major announcements in her own special way. Already this month she’s had some pretty exciting news unveiled online, including a revelation of her breast augmentation, and the name of her upcoming fourth studio album.

When sharing the former with her fans, Doja tweeted, “Got my t*tties done and my cl*t bedazzled.” In another post, the Californian confirmed that she underwent another procedure at the same time. “Four days into recovery rn, feels ok. I got lipo so my thighs hurt a lot if I move too much. But I’m healing really fast,” she wrote, prompting more questions about the difference between BBLs and liposuction, among other topics, to come pouring in from followers.

Doja Cat’s Big Announcement

Aside from the curious inquiries, Doja is also facing some backlash for publicly speaking about her procedures, which could potentially influence others to follow in her footsteps. “Stop encouraging your young and impressionable fans to change their bodies,” one person wrote to the Planet Her hitmaker on Sunday (March 26). In response to this, she clapped back, “Eat my long quiet and warm farts.” Afterward, her timeline lit up with a “Haha c:,” though it remains unclear exactly what the recording artist was giggling at.

Elsewhere on her page, Doja Cat has been boasting about the new and improved appearance of her chest, tweeting, “Wish I could suck my own t*tties. That’s how good they look rn, God damn.” A curious follower wrote back, “How much longer do you have left to heal? Like, how long does that take?” To this, the 27-year-old confirmed she’ll likely be in recovery for a few more weeks, making it three months total since she initially went under the knife to make some changes to her appearance. Read some of her most recent social media interactions below, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Reginae Carter Claps Back At People Tearing Down Her Relationship

by

Reginae Carter recently aired out her frustrations with critics of her relationship and how openly loving the two are. While her and her partner Armon Warren always show affection, some people ridiculed how young and naïve they seem. As such, many pointed out how much they seemed to rush into their status and into their affection. For example, one user prodded Carter to think more realistically “He literally didn’t have a passport before he met you but was buying hallow jewelry, be fr reginae.”

Still, Lil Wayne’s daughter was having none of it. “It’s really super weird to me when people get mad at you for loving your significant other out loud…” she tweeted. “Like I’m sorry you’ve played the side for so many years you don’t know different … but me ? Imma post wtf I want . Never have to hide s**tttttt.” Even with critics still making their points, she had a lot of people supporting her in the comments. “They want you to keep that s**t a secret so bad,” a Twitter user wrote in response. “But they couldn’t wait to blast you when you were going through it…keep loving and being loved out loud.”

Meanwhile, the 24-year-old recently clapped back at haters who trolled her boyfriend Armon gifting her a promise ring. “Y’all old asses mad at my promise ring but been in 10 year relationships with a bunch of broken promises,” she exploded on Twitter. “Get you somebody to take care of your time not waste it aunties. But anyways .. back to my amazing morning … Happy Holidays!” While people thought it was a bit too much, Warren’s message was still pretty sweet.

“So this is my promise ring to you baby, okay?” he said in a video clip. “This is my loyalty, this is my love. This is everything, this is me investing my time, everything into you. I only want to be with you. This is my promise.” Regardless of what you think of their relationship, come back to HNHH for the latest on Reginae Carter.

Doja Cat Rocks A “Pretty Beat” For Instagram So Her Haters Will “Shut The F*ck Up”

by

Her name has been one of the biggest in the industry for the last few years. However, Doja Cat has actually been making music for nearly a decade. In 2014, her Purrr! EP came out after Kemosabe and RCA Records heard her “So High” track. Since then, she’s gone on to release projects like 2019’s Hot Pink and 2021’s Planet Her.

Along with her growth as an artist, we’ve also seen some serious style evolution for the lyricist. She’s also stayed true to herself and embraced her inner uniqueness. Over the past year specifically, we’ve really seen Doja come into her own.

While several of her outfits have been nothing short of eyebrow-raising, the 27-year-old’s bold makeup choices are what’s really got people talking. In fact, when she shaved her own brows and head, it nearly broke the internet in 2022.

Subsequently, Doja filled the blank space on her forehead with all kinds of whimsical designs. Among them were floral prints to ultra-thin, high-arched lines with an adorable heart drawn over her signature mole. Some fans have been loving the creativity the “Say So” songstress is showing. More closed-minded audiences, though, have been quick to criticize her antics.

In her usual fashion, DC let the haters know that their comments can’t get her down. On Thursday (February 2) night, she shared a smiling selfie that finds her sporting a glamorous smokey eye and a blonde balayage wig. “Felt like doing a pretty beat for you boring ass lemon water bitches out there,” she wrote in the caption.

“So you can shut the f*ck up now and leave me the f*ck alone. Ciao,” her caption concluded. Afterward, Doja limited comments on the upload to keep her page a positive space.

Aside from calling out the internet trolls who have made a routine of hating on her unique style, Doja Cat has also been speaking out about music lovers who often discredit her as a rap artist.

French Montana, Machine Gun Kelly & More Trend From “Rappers We Need To Leave In 2022” Viral Tweet

by

Even if some artists are better than others, some social media users are a bit too eager to point that out. French Montana, Machine Gun Kelly, and other rappers trended on social media this week for their inclusion in a viral tweet of “Rappers We Need To Leave In 2022.” As if Megan Fox wanting a girlfriend wasn’t enough, MGK received his fair share of both criticism and defense in the comments. Moreover, Stans and haters argued over whether these rappers deserved a placement.

Also included in the list are Yeat and Jack Harlow, which many people might say is a tad less contested. Still, the list came from tweeter @kiracantmizz and sparked a hefty conversation in the reply threads.

Meanwhile, some fans were incredulous at these placements, because all four artists had notable years. French released his Harry Fraud collab project Montega with a deluxe to boot. Also, his smash hit “Unforgettable” with Swae Lee reached Diamond status this year with 10 million copies sold.

Moreover, Jack Harlow dropped Come Home, The Kids Miss You, which received a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album. In addition, he had one of the biggest songs of the year in “First Class” and is rumored to be dating Dua Lipa.

However, MGK already has his mate in wife Megan Fox, and he released his mainstream sellout album back in March. Finally, Yeat had an incredible blowout year with his albums 2 Alivë and Lyfë. Also, he released “Rich Minion” for the Minions: The Rise of Gru film, which became a viral sensation, and had a wildly successful tour.

With all this in mind, many users wondered whether they were really all that bad. Nevertheless, it’s fair to say that these artists have unfortunately gotten more hate than others. Some of that hate has been for reasons beyond the music, but when it comes to their art, to each their own.

What do you think of French Montana, Yeat, Machine Gun Kelly, and Jack Harlow being left in 2022? Moreover, are you excited for new music from them in 2023? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments and check out some more reactions down below. Also, as always, check back in with HNHH for more debates around the genre’s biggest artists.

Keri Hilson Posts Bikini Video, Claps Back At Haters Suggesting She Needs A BBL

by

It’s hard to deny the imprint that “BBL culture” has left on society. Some might argue that the recent push towards cosmetic procedures is a way for women to embrace confidence and feel great in their skin. Others will say that seeing so many celebrities with artificially enhanced figures sets an unfair standard for average women who can’t afford the same maintenance.

Many in the industry have chosen to get breast implants or butt injections. However, there are still those who embrace their natural figure. Both GloRilla and Coi Leray have reminded slim women that they too can feel sexy. Now, “Pretty Girl Rock” singer Keri Hilson is doing her part to shut down those who think everyone’s body should be surgically enhanced.

Earlier this week, the 40-year-old posted a clip on social media. It finds her relaxing by the ocean in a bright pink bikini. Though she looked radiant and content while soaking up the sun, haters in her comment section didn’t hesitate to let their jealousy show.

“A BBL would do you some justice,” one person’s rude message to Hilson says. Of course, some would be devastated by a comment like this, but seeing as she’s so secure in her skin, the Georgia native was able to let the words roll right off her back. Not before she expertly clapped back, though!

Her response began, “I’m sure it would but hey.. like what you like.” She added that presently, she looks “the worst” she ever has in her life. However, “I love myself & adore my body at any weight,” the vocalist went on.

“Also, if you think your opinion would change any of that let me inform you: I’m so good if you never looked my way,” her sassy response concluded.

Unsurprisingly, Hilson’s fans were quick to rally behind her in support. “I love to see this. The naturally authentic you,” one person wrote. “You embracing everything about your body. I love it. And it’s refreshing to see.”

“She do not need a BBL!” someone else commented in her defence. “There are still women out here with their natural, God-given bodies!!!”

Do you think encouraging women to get plastic surgery is harmful? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
