2024 Election: Vice Presidential Debate Preview – Gov. Tim Walz and Sen. JD Vance Face-Off

With 36 days until the most consequential presidential election in modern times, what’s probably the last big night is upon us. The Vice presidential debate between Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, and Ohio Senator JD Vance is around the corner.

The two politicians will go head-to-head in the only scheduled vice-presidential debate on October 1. This go down a month ahead of the highly anticipated November general election. This debate may serve as the final major moment of the campaign, especially as Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are not slated for another debate.

As you may know, vice-presidential debates typically draw less attention, this one is key as both Vance and Walz are expected to vigorously defend their running mates. Vance, representing the Republican ticket, has indicated that while he’ll critique Walz, his primary focus will be attacking Harris. Walz, on the Democratic side, will likely aim to reinforce Harris’ message of stability and middle-class solutions.

Here’s how Political analyst Peter Loge highlighted the significance of the debate: “People don’t tend to vote for or against vice-presidential candidates, but what the candidates can do is reinforce to voters what the party or the campaign stands for.” For Walz, it’s a chance to introduce himself to the broader electorate, while for Vance, it’s an opportunity to reinforce Trump’s stances on immigration, the economy, and American identity.

What’s interesting is both men come from the Midwest, but their politics differ sharply. Vance has been a staunch advocate for Trump’s conservative policies, while Walz has positioned himself as a positive partner to Harris, following her surge in national polls after a convincing debate performance. Forecaster Nate Silver now sees Harris as a slight favorite in the race.

Expect the debate to last 90-minutes and will be held at 9 p.m. ET on October 1 at the CBS Broadcast Center in New York City, airing on CBS and available via livestream on CBS News 24/7 and Paramount+.

Lil Pump Takes His Taylor Swift Trolling To The Next Level With His Latest Outfit Choice

by

Lil Pump shared a picture of himself wearing a white t-shirt with the phrase, “F*ck Talor [sic] Swift,” written on it for his latest Instagram post. In the caption, he wrote: “JUST A QUICK REMINDER FOR THE SWIFTIES.” It’s the latest of several posts Pump has directed at Swift since she endorsed Kamala Harris in the upcoming 2024 Presidential Election. Pump has been a vocal supporter of her Republican opponent, Donald Trump, for years at this point.

Swift made her endorsement of Harris in a post on Instagram, earlier this month, after the Vice President took on Trump in a presidential debate. She wrote: “I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.”

Pump hasn’t been the only one to criticize Swift on social media in response to the move. Trump also wrote on his Turth Social media platform: “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” Additionally, he discussed her endorsement during an appearance on Fox & Friends, comparing her to Patrick Mahomes’ wife, Britney. “Well, I actually like Mrs. [Patrick] Mahomes much better. If you want to know the truth. She’s a big Trump fan. I was not a Taylor Swift fan,” he said at the time. Swift, who is dating Mahomes’ teammate Travis Kelce, has become close friends with Britney over the last year.

Mario Revisits A Lost Love In New Single “Space”

by

It’s been an exciting few months for Mario fans, and fortunately for them, he continues to deliver. Late last week, for example, he unveiled his brand-new single “Space.” The funky track arrived alongside a fun music video, which manages to complement the upbeat track perfectly. The song sees Mario croon about revisiting a lost romance and planning to never let it slip away again.

The song was produced by James Fauntleroy, who Mario has been working on an upcoming project with for more than a year, according to a press release. “James and I have a similar philosophy when it comes to the love of timeless music,” Mario says of working with Fauntleroy. “The omnipresence of all of the things that lends itself to the writing process. Our stories, our lives, what we observe and absorb.” At the time of writing, there aren’t many details of the project available, but it’s safe to say that fans can’t wait regardless.

Mario’s new single arrives shortly after it was revealed that he’ll be joining Mary J. Blige and Ne-Yo on the “For My Fans” tour. The trek is scheduled to begin in January of next year with performances in Boston, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, New York City, Toronto, and more. What do you think of Mario’s new track? What about its accompanying music video? Will you be adding “Space” to your playlist or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Suge Knight Theorizes That Diddy Could Experience Violence In Prison

by

It’s no secret that Diddy is dealing with a lot right now. Earlier this month, the Bad Boy founder was arrested in New York City following months of shocking allegations and lawsuits. He’s been hit with several charges, and could reportedly receive a minimum of 15 years in prison if convicted. Currently, he’s in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, and his lawyer Marc Agnifilo recently told TMZ that he has a positive mindset.

According to Suge Knight, however, Diddy could be in for a rude awakening during his prison stay. Last week, Knight spoke with NewsNation about the mogul’s legal battle, making it clear that he’s not at all happy about his incarceration. Moreover, he speculated that he could experience violence behind bars if another inmate decided to hurt him for notoriety.

“I’m not going to cheer for a Black man going to prison or any human being going to prison,” he explained. “I mean, one of the things is this: I don’t care who you are. Prison and jail is a negative environment. Somebody can do something to him and get a name for themself, they gonna actually do it. Or if they can do whatever they feel they gotta do to prove themself.” Knight isn’t the only person with this outlook on things, however.

Recently, 1090 Jake sat down with VladTV and shared a similar theory. He speculated that someone could try to hurt the mogul to try and gain respect among other inmates, particularly considering the nature of his alleged crimes. “I don’t see him just getting out of this situation,” he added. “The feds… They decided to take on a very big person that has a lot of power, and with that, I feel like they know what they’re doing and they’re gonna try to do what they want to do with him.” What do you think of Suge Knight weighing in on Diddy’s current situation? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Cam’ron Claims He Rejected Key To NYC After Diddy Returned It Amid Scandal

by

On his It Is What It Is sports talk show with Mase, Cam’ron recently claimed that he turned down an offer from New York City Mayor Eric Adams to receive the key to the city. This was apparently before Adams received a federal indictment over corruption-related charges, for which he pleaded not guilty. However, it was also after the mayor gave the key to Diddy in September 2023. You probably recall that the Bad Boy mogul returned the key in May of this year after his various sexual assault allegations poured in (plus the Cassie assault video), leading up to his current federal indictment.

As for how Cam’ron revealed this, he remarked on the matter after Mase threw some shots at his ex higher-up Diddy, which led Cam to bring up Eric Adams’ situation. “You know what’s crazy?” he asked. “This is word to everything I love. Last month, they called me to see if I wanted the key to the city. I said, ‘I don’t want to be involved with nothing.’ I said, ‘That ain’t really up my alley right now, I’m cool with the key to New York City, man.’”

Then, Cam’ron claimed that Eric Adams’ office were the ones to call him. “I don’t want nothing that has to do with the keys to the city, the n***as giving them out, or the n***as that previously had them,” he shared. “I don’t got nothing to do with the key to the city, I don’t got nothing to do with that.” Elsewhere, Killa Cam is actually gearing up for a new show Talk With Flee. In a trailer for it, he spoke on his relationship with Jay-Z, the Dipset versus The LOX Verzuz, and a whole lot more.

Meanwhile, we all know that It Is What It Is can turn into a roast fest more than a reflection on current events. For example, Cam’ron recently called Shannon Sharpe out for seemingly prioritizing advice from white men concerning his recent IG Live sex scandal. Cam and Mase felt like he insinuated that other Black commentators who criticized Sharpe are beneath him, so we can expect their animosity to develop further.

YSL Mondo, Offset and Cardi B Drama Explained

by
IMG 7645

First, who is YSL Mondo? He’s a co-founder of well, YSL. Now let’s talk about his recent drama with Offset and Cardi B. Basically YSL Mondo recently alleged Offset confronted him over a direct message he sent to Cardi B. Oh, DM drama. Guess that says it all these days.

Get this, in a video, Mondo claims that Offset called him out, telling him to “stay off the internet” and keep his personal issues private.

Mondo insists that the message he sent to Cardi wasn’t disrespectful. He says he advised her not to let Offset “drag her through the mud” and implied that she might need a “real one” in her life. So, that’s not disrespectful to who? Probably depends on who you ask.

As you might expect, Offset didn’t appreciate the message and allegedly called Mondo to confront him. Mondo recalled Offset asking, “Why you playing?” and accused Offset of blocking him from communicating with Cardi, saying, “You’re mad ‘cause I was trying to holla at Cardi.”

Mondo also accused Offset of previously bad-mouthing him and involving Cardi in their issues. He claimed Offset was upset over past situations, including one involving one of Offset’s baby mamas, where Mondo says he unknowingly got involved.

Mondo’s message to Offset was straightforward: don’t be mad now that the situation has become public. Although he walked back some of his more controversial statements about Cardi, Mondo still defended his overall stance, suggesting that Offset shouldn’t be upset now that the drama is out in the open.

As of now, neither Offset nor Cardi B have responded publicly to Mondo’s claims.

Okay, glad we got that cleared up, back to regular scheduling programming.

Yet Again, Doja Cat Has Denied Being Secretly Married To Joseph Quinn, This Time At Global Citizen Festival 2024

Although Doja Cat will make for a rather dazzling bride, the “Paint The Town Red” rapper has yet again let the public know that moment hasn’t arrived.

Yesterday (September 28), Doja Cat used her breathtaking performance during Global Citizen Festival 2024 to deny that she secretly married Joseph Quinn (of Stranger Things fame).

While singing her song “Agora Hills,” Doja Cat flashed her bare ringing then said, “I’m not married.”

This marked the second time Doja Cat brushed off self-inflicted rumors that the two were ready to or had already walked down the aisle.

On September 21, Doja Cat initiated the rumor by flashing a ring during her set at iHeart Radio Festival 2024. However, shortly after fans began to congratulate the rumored couple. In a now deleted upload onto X (captured by Pop Crave, viewable here), Doja Cat wrote: “No, I’m not engaged. Its. David Yurman ring with no rocks in it.”

After supposedly getting together back in August (no, thanks to Joseph Quinn’s Stranger Things co-star Noah Schnapp), fans have rooting for the pair. Neither have confirmed that they are indeed a romantic item. However, that did not stop Doja Cat and Joseph Quinn from gallivanting around Europe hand in hand following the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Ciara & Busta Rhymes Ask “Wassup” On Our New “R&B Season” Playlist Update: Stream

by

The fall is still bringing us a lot of great new music releases, and our latest R&B Season update is here to round up the best of the best the genre’s related drops had to offer this week. As for our blockbuster pick, we can’t deny that Tommy Richman made his mark with his debut album COYOTE. We’d recommend you check the whole thing out, but “TENNESSEE” with Trevor Spitta and Zachary Moon is a particular highlight. Each artist compliments each other’s charisma with trade-off verses and refrains over a bouncy and nocturnal trap-inspired beat. It’s the right balance of building off past work while putting a foot forward.

Elsewhere on R&B Season, we also wanted to shout out Ciara and Busta Rhymes for their woozy and minimal new record, “Wassup.” The cut starts off with some whispered and rapid R&B flows and vocal melodies, building up the track’s sultry but nonetheless hard-hitting and atmospheric instrumental. Eventually, Busta comes through with his trademark speed, beating the drum pattern into the ground and electrifying the sparse synths and bass. At the end of the day, the song succeeds at its goal to entrance and excite listeners thanks to its balance of speed and vibes.

HNHH R&B Season Playlist: Stream

As far as new albums from the R&B world this week, we have to mention Leon Thomas’ latest full-length, MUTT. With guests like Masego, Wale, Ty Dolla $ign, Freddie Gibbs, Baby Rose, and Axl Folie, he was able to construct a versatile, lush, and engaging body of work. However, Thomas shines solo on the standout “SAFE PLACE,” which is a horn-bolstered and stark display of passion. The big highlight, though, is his performance, which goes through various fast flows that don’t compromise his charismatic bars and deliveries.

Finally, we’d be remiss not to send Mustafa’s new album Dunya your way. It’s a gorgeous, heartfelt, and tender collection of tracks like “I’ll Go Anywhere” that really entice you with their light but resonant instrumentation. Let us know what your favorite R&B Season pick was this week, as well as what else we missed, down in the comments section below. Check the playlist out above and, as always, stick around on HNHH to stay up to date on new music around the clock.
