Yeat Allegedly Used A Young Thug Lyric As His Yearbook Quote

by

Yeat is one of the hottest up-and-coming rappers on the scene right now. His last three albums, 2 Alive, Lyfe, and AftërLyfe, were all top-ten hits. The latter even peaked as high as #4 on the US mainstream charts. Meanwhile, a collab with Young Thug earlier this year hit #6 on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart and peaked at #8 in New Zealand.

What’s more, Yeat is doing all of this at just 23 years old. He has already found massive fame and success and is likely set for a long and successful career if the trend continues. However, fans have discovered an amusing Yeat anecdote from his high school years, which is now doing the rounds on social media. First posted back in May, it appears to show a pre-existing link between Yeat and the aforementioned Young Thug.

Yeat’s Yearbook Quote Was A Young Thug Mashup

According to images shared online, Yeat’s yearbook quote is lyrics attributed to “Thugga”. Except the quote is wrong? Or at the very least, it’s not one continuous lyric. According to the image, Yeat submitted “I got hundreds on top of hunnids. That blue cheese, NOT ranch.” But this appears to a mashup of two lyrics. The first part of the quote is from “Problem”. Meanwhile, the second half of the quote is from “Homie”. The two lyrics in full are “I got hundreds sittin’ on hundreds, that blue cheese, I’m not ranchin’” and “I got blue cheese on me, all hundreds/Blue cheese no ranch.”

However, that’s not the only thing people were reacting to in the image. While most people have a very standardized yearbook photo. Meanwhile, Yeat is draped in tartan and wearing ski goggles, which is certainly a look. However, the combination of the irregular photo and the weird lyric has led many people to declare that the image is faked. Furthermore, the image has been circulating since late May, around when Yeat and Young Thug collaborated on “My Wrist”. Do you think it’s real? Let us know in the comment.

Future Opens Atlanta STEM Learning Center

by

According to a January 2023 report, just 20% of high school graduates are prepared for “college-level coursework in STEM majors.” STEM refers to the education and careers defined in the industry of “science, technology, engineering, and mathematics”. However, that 20% is presumably much lower in areas without sufficient or inequitable educational funding.

Legendary rapper Future was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia. Previously, the Atlanta Metro area had been named one of the best areas for a STEM career. However, there is a great disparity between the corporate world and STEM education at the high school level. However, Future is now doing something to help fix the inequity at the high school level. According to a press release shared with Yahoo!, the rapper is founding the I Am A Dreamer STEM Lab at a school in Atlanta.

Future Founds STEM Lab

“It’s important that all students receive access to STEAM education regardless of their background,” the rapper said in a statement. “Our Freewishes Foundation, with the support of the 2K Foundations, has helped make this possible in our Atlanta community. We’re thankful for their commitment to support our initiative.” The Freewishes Foundation was founded about a decade ago and has been focused on helping communities in Georgia.

Furthermore, Tia Wilburn, Future’s sister and executive director of the foundation, gave additional comments. “We are creating a science technology, engineering, art, and mathematics lab as an extension of Freewishes’ educational initiative. We wanted to add art because both Future and I support creativity.” She continued, “Our objective in providing educational opportunities is to ensure inclusive and quality education for all students, regardless of income and background. There is a major gap in STEM education that impacts marginalized communities, and we want to close that gap so that no child is left behind.” Follow all the latest music and society news here at HotNewHipHop.

Chrisean Rock & Blueface Appear At A Local High School, Social Media Questions Why

by

Throughout their rise to fame, many celebrities agree to appear at events, host parties at nightclubs, or represent brands. It’s an undeniably quick and easy way to bring in some cash. While most collaborations aren’t questioned, a few eyebrows were raised earlier this week when Blueface and Chrisean Rock were recruited to speak at a local high school. In a video that’s making rounds online, the Crazy In Love stars are seen kicking it in a local gymnasium. The 23-year-old even surprisingly put her baby bump on display in a tiny bra top.

The clip shows students in the vicinity going wild with cheers. The “Thotiana” rapper stands at one end of the room while Rock waits on the other, preparing to sprint toward him. Before running across the gym, the expecting mother had to dress in a Hawaiian hula skirt. She also added a flower lei around her neck. The reality star was the first one to complete the challenge of making it across the floor. Upon arrival, she planted a kiss on Blueface’s mouth before wrapping her arms around him in an embrace.

Blueface and Chrisean Rock Connect with Local Kids

Clearly, the pair has patched things up since their physical altercation on Instagram Live earlier this month. At the time, Rock markedly threw a vase at the California-born recording artist, who was recording their feud out of fear for his own safety. Frequent blowouts like this between the pair are exactly what has social media questioning whose decision it was to bring Blueface and his second baby mama on campus and around impressionable teenagers. “Is their principal Ava from ‘Abbott Elementary’ or something??” someone quipped.

Another user added, “I’m confused why a school would invite them? They aren’t role models, or maybe I’m just confused.” Someone else, with experience in the education industry, chimed in, “As a former school administrator, HOW is this a good example to young impressionable kids? Their relationship is toxic AF and anchored in domestic abuse. C’mon people🤦🏽‍♂️.” Keep scrolling to read more social media reactions to the embattled couple‘s unexpected appearance, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Blueface Reacts To Fans Posting Photos Of Chrisean Rock Before They Met

by

Blueface is in the middle of long Twitter feud with DJ Akademiks, but that wasn’t the only reason people flooded his replies this week. Moreover, many fans found old pictures of his girlfriend Chrisean Rock when she was in high school, and thought that the California rapper changed her a lot. However, in response to these claims, Blue had to set the record straight on their relationship timeline. While it might be easy to assume the relationship is what changed her look, there’s a lot of time in between that fans aren’t considering, at least according to Blueface.

“Y’all be reaching fr with these chriseanrock before blueface high school pictures,” he tweeted. “I met her when she was 20 years old tf,” adding a crying-laughing emoji. Of course, it’s not like the couple hasn’t influenced or informed each other in their history. Both often show up in the news, whether separately or together, for their antics and brash personalities. While many pleaded for the constant barrage of craziness to stop online, a lot of people gobble it up. In fact, they might argue it’s why they’re perfect for each other.

Blueface Says He Didn’t Change His Girlfriend

Regardless, their relationship is in a bit of a rocky moment. The “Thotiana” star doubted the reality TV personality’s pregnancy, but then defended her for smoking weed while with child. Despite what the CDC says, Blueface said that smoking won’t do any big harm and that he’s just saying the truth. Still, he said that he’s not necessarily in Rock’s favor or against it. What’s more is that, according to the 26-year-old, his partner in the relationship isn’t even the most toxic part about it.

“I think my momma is the most toxic one in the relationship fr,” he tweeted with a crying-laughing emoji. Her own feud with Chrisean and her pregnancy also made headlines, and she continues to add drama and another perspective to their movement. It seems like he addressed people trying to pin the majority of blame for the toxicity on one person in the relationship. From what Blueface said, maybe they think it’s all one big jumble of clashing personalities and values. Regardless, check out the old pictures of Chrisean Rock down below to see how she’s changed. Also, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on her and Blueface.

LeBron James Footage From HS Football Days Resurfaces Online

by

LeBron James is easily one of the most talented athletes we have ever seen. Overall, he is still playing at an extremely high level at the age of 38. The NBA legend is in his 20th season, and just a few weeks ago, he toppled the league’s all-time scoring record. Subsequently, he has the ability to run up this record and make it impossible to beat. For Lakers fans, his talents have been incredible to watch. Moreover, he will probably play for at least another three years as he wants to share the court with his son, Bronny.

When LeBron hopped onto the scene, he was a teenager playing high school basketball. The legend was a student at St. Vincent-St. Mary’s, where he played both basketball and football. Although he was known for his basketball talents, LeBron was also known for being fantastic at football. He played the tight end position, and his size made him a threat on the field. In fact, there are some who believe he could have gone to the NFL. He even contemplated as much during the lockout year back in 2012.

LeBron James Tore Up The Field

Recently, some of LeBron’s football game film from high school made it onto Twitter. In the clip above, you can see the kinds of moves James was getting off. While wearing a green number nine jersey, James was using his frame to fend off defenders. Overall, it was easy for him to catch the ball and make plays after the catch. Furthermore, he showcased some blocking ability, which is typically required of tight ends. Needless to say, LeBron was a rockstar on the basketball court, and on the football field.

It is hard not to think about what could have been in regard to LeBron and the game of football. At the end of the day, it seems pretty obvious that he made the right choice. His NBA career has been legendary, to say the least. By the end of it all, he will be a top-two player, and it will be undisputed. Let us know what you think of this footage, down below.

Ja Morant Was Reportedly Investigated For Assault Back In September

by

Ja Morant has been in the news for a plethora of dubious reasons. Overall, these headlines about Morant have gotten people extremely worried about him. After being seen with a gun on Instagram Live, he was subsequently suspended indefinitely. Now, there is this sense that he will not play the rest of the season, which is disastrous for the Grizzlies. Moreover, the league is investigating his situation, and if they see any wrongdoing involving the weapon, he could end up with a massive 50-game suspension.

Now, TMZ is reporting that Morant was allegedly involved in another altercation back in September. According to the report, Ja Morant’s sister got into a verbal argument with a student at Houston High School in Tennessee. Apparently, they each hurled insults at each other, and Morant’s sister subsequently called him to help resolve the issue. Morant then showed up with his father and mother. Furthermore, witnesses claim that there were a lot of men with Ja, who were supposedly part of his crew.

Ja Morant Not Charged

They all allegedly went inside of the school’s gym, where the other girl was watching a volleyball game. Ja’s mom confronted the girl, and when police showed up, one of Morant’s friends allegedly intimidated people in the crowd. He allegedly knocked a phone out of someone’s hand and even threatened to pull a gun. However, police say no guns were involved in this spat. After all of this took place, the mother of the other girl tried to press charges. This subsequently led to an investigation in which Morant was being looked at for “intimidation.” In the end, he was never charged.

This story does not end there, however. The Grizzlies’ head of security was asked to come to the school. From there, he talked to the principal, who asked him to tell Morant that they cannot trespass on school grounds. Needless to say, this is an instance that the Grizzlies were fully aware of. This continues to be a developing story, so stay tuned to HNHH for updates.

matanzas high florida attack teacher 672x372 1

A video showcasing an attack on a Florida high school employee has led to the arrest of a 17 year-old student. The attack was initiated after the employee took the students’ Nintendo Switch device away, according to the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office.

The Matanzas High School student has been charged with felony aggravated battery with bodily harm, the sheriff’s office said in a press release. 

Following the Palm Coast incident on February 21st, the student was taken into custody and brought to the  Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility. He was later turned over to the  state Department of Juvenile Justice, for “becoming violent” while speaking to them after the incident.

according to the news release.

The arrest report describes the teens motives for attack stating that he would “beat her up” every time she took away his game. Joan Naydich has been identified as the employee that underwent the attack, confirmed by her husband Alexander Naydich. 

Details of the attack can be deciphered from a surveillance video of the student. The sheriff’s office has released a description of the student saying he stands 6 feet, 6 inches tall and weighs around 270 pounds. He runs toward Naydich and knocks her to the ground. The employee is seen lying motionless as the student punches and kicks her repeatedly before bystanders pull him off of her. Naydich was taken to an area hospital for treatment.

Sheriff  Rick Staly said in the release, “The actions of this student are absolutely horrendous and completely uncalled-for. We hope the victim will be able to recover, both mentally and physically, from this incident. Thankfully, students and staff members came to the victim’s aid before the [school resource deputies] could arrive. Our schools should be a safe place – for both employees and students.”

Flagler County Schools on Saturday reported that out of respect for their employee’s privacy, they are withholding commentary on her medical condition at this time.

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.

Nia Long Admits To Dating 30-Year-Old Man During High School In Resurfaced Interview: Watch

by

In the modern dating world, age-gap relationships have proven to be increasingly popular. While some, such as Cher and AE Edwards, are okay with having decades separating them from their partners, others like to keep it to a span of just a few years. Many of these unions often earn the couples criticism. Still, none are more dangerous than those taking place between an underage girl and a grown man. In a resurfaced clip, Nia Long admits to finding herself in a situation like this during high school.

Her most recent ex, Ime Udoka, is actually seven years her junior. However, before she was an adult herself, the New York native seems to have acquired a taste for older men. “I wasn’t a girl that ever went to prom,” she confessed in an interview that took place six years ago.

“Like, my boyfriend was 30 when I was in high school! I know, my mother was crazy. I mean that in a good way, like she was an artist,” Long told the laughing audience. “She was like, ‘Well if that’s who you love, baby!’ And he was so good to me and kind,” the mother of two added, pausing for a fit of laughter herself.

According to the 52-year-old, her much-older boyfriend approached her and made his interest known “the right way.” He firstly went to the Friday actresses’ mom, telling the woman that he was in love with Nia. “He said, ‘I love your daughter and I want to date your daughter,’ and he asked permission,” she recalled. Immediately, after sharing the memory, Long noticed a woman in the audience obviously expressing her emotions.

“Look at you, you’re like ‘That ain’t happening with my baby,’” she teased the patron while pointing at them. “But you know what he taught me?” the Brooklyn native asked the crowd. “‘Cuz he owned a hair salon. He taught me how to do my own hair and makeup,” she finished, leaving listeners in stitches over the wildness of the whole relationship.

Since her sudden split from Ime Udoka, Long’s love life has certainly spent its share of time in the public eye. For the most part, she seems to be having fun and snapping photos with various celebrity bachelors out there, though she’s also been keeping busy with work. Her latest project, Netflix’s You People, premiered on the streaming service recently, much to fan’s pleasure.

In the weeks since then, the starlet has been vocal about her acting career, and the casting decisions she feels left out of. Specifically, Nia named Zoë Saldaña in Avatar as a role she would have been interested in bringing to life. Read what else she had to say here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
