6ix9ine Claps Back At Blueface For Calling Him Too Scared To Box

by

6ix9ine and Blueface have been feuding quite a bit as of late and it’s all because of a petty interaction on Instagram that took place due to Blueface getting his jeweler’s name tattooed on his head. As we all know by now, 6ix9ine knows how to get attention and he knows exactly how to get under people’s skin. This antagonistic persona has gotten him into a lot of trouble over the years, however, it has also helped him gain musical success.

With Blueface entering the boxing world, the rapper has proposed a fight against 6ix9ine, although as of now, nothing has been set up. In a recent interview with TMZ, Blueface claimed that 6ix9ine was too chicken for the fight and that it would probably never happen.

“He ain’t gonna take that, bro.” said. “He wouldn’t take that if his mom was on her deathbed and it was her last breath and she said, ‘Tekashi just fight Blueface and they’ll give me a new heart.’ He still wouldn’t do it.”

6ix9ine wasn’t too happy with these remarks and according to TMZ, he reached out to the news organization to tell them that he has spoken with Blueface’s team and that he hopes to get a fight done in the near future.

For now, it appears as though the lack of sponsors is what is holding the fight back. 6ix9ine is a high-profile person who has his fair share of enemies, and this could compromise any sort of sponsored event. With this in mind, it could be a long time before Blueface and the rainbow-haired rapper get into the ring with one another.

Kanye West’s Long-Rumored Giant Dong Made A Cameo On His Livestream And People Can’t Stop Talking About It

While Kanye West has had his fair share of headline-making antics over the years, the rapper now has the internet talking for a very different reason. Kanye has been holed up in Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz stadium for some time in order to complete his long-awaited LP Donda. To celebrate the album’s impending release, Kanye began a 24-hour livestream from his tiny room. He appeared in his underwear at one point, confirming to the world a rumor that has been circulating for years: The rapper is quite endowed.

Talk of Kanye’s massive member has been floating around for a few years now. The rumor actually goes all the way back to the MySpace days, according to Jezebel, when the rapper allegedly had no problem sending a NSFW photo to any woman who inquired. Of course, a few of the photos circulated the internet like wildfire, where they were gawked at for weeks before eventually being deleted.

Kim Kardashian wasn’t shy in speaking about Kanye’s sizeable schlong, either. The rapper’s now-ex addressed Kanye’s anatomy on an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, which went relatively under the radar at the time. A pregnant Kim had been undergoing an ultrasound to reveal the gender of her baby. The doctor mentioned they were trying to look to see if Kim’s child had a penis, to which she cheekily responded: “It would definitely take after the father, so you would see it.”

Little, errr, Big Kanye’s cameo may have been brief, but the internet definitely noticed — and definitely had a lot to say about it. People flocked to Twitter to discuss the dong, with some saying they were more impressed than others.

Keyshia Cole Mourns Her Late Mother: “I Wish I Could’ve Healed Your Pain”

by

Last month, tragic news broke that Frankie Lons, Keyshia Cole’s mother, passed away on her 61st birthday. As previously reported, Frankie was celebrating her birthday when she reportedly relapsed and subsequently suffered a fatal overdose. Keyshia Cole’s mother struggled with addiction throughout her life, and her long-documented battle was touched on in the 11:11 Reset artist’s BET reality show Keyshia Cole My New Life.

Keyshia Cole has recently broken her silence on her mother’s passing, and she candidly admitted that the experience has been extremely difficult. She also told her fans that she wished that she could “just feel bad” about Frankie’s passing, but she had several motherly duties that she needed to attend to. Now, it appears that Keyshia Cole was able to find a little bit of free time this weekend and truly mourn her late mother.

“I’ve dealt with a lot of “trauma” but this trams hurts the worst,” the Just Like You artist reflected in a tweet earlier this week. “Self healing is the toughest thing to do. And I hope everyone (including myself) learns how to self love, to get it.” 

Keyshia Cole then admits that she wishes that she would have been able to offer more help to Frankie in her long battle to sobriety, saying, “I wish I could’ve healed your pain.” Over a series of tweets, Keyshia Cole then touches on all of the things that she’s going to miss about her mother, and she also expresses her gratitude for all of the moments they shared together.

Check out the “Heaven Sent” artist’s heartfelt tweets below.

Rest in peace, Frankie Lons.

Nardo Wick Reveals His Essentials In New Episode Of “In My Bag”

by

Today marks the arrival of a new episode of In My Bag, an original series that finds artists showcasing some of their road essentials. Nardo Wick came through to hold it down for the occasion, and if you didn’t know his name, you soon will. The buzzing Jacksonville artist has been steadily gaining notoriety through a slew of hard-hitting singles — not to mention a placement on the Judas And The Black Messiah soundtrack. 

With his next project on the way, Nardo took a moment to break down the contents of his bag — a sleek Gucci duffle — painting a picture of an artist on the road. As one never knows when one might need an extra shirt, Wick keeps the four-pack of black Hanes tees on deck. “Everyday black tees,” he says, noting that he only wore a white one to match his shoes.

Understanding that hygiene is important, Nardo Wick makes sure to keep the dental floss picks close lest his grills suffer as a result. “I got these two months ago,” he explains, speaking about the grills, not the floss. “At first they felt real tight and hard to eat with. You not even supposed to use [floss picks] but they’re more convenient. Next up is money, a copious amount at that; should he ever find himself in a movie-esque situation that calls for slamming a bag of cash on a table, he can damn sure do so. 

“I don’t spend it everyday,” he says. “I keep a lot in case I want to bless somebody. If I see somebody I might–I done gave away like two-thousand dollars. If I feel it in my soul.” Dark though his music may be, he seems ready and willing to play the role of a guardian angel should he feel inspired. It also might help should he see a timepiece that catches his eye, like the diamond-encrusted Cartier watch he keeps on hand.

Check out the full episode of In My Bag now, and look for more music from Nardo Wick to land in the near future.

Dennis Schroder’s Free Agency Takes A Turn For The Worse

by

When the Los Angeles Lakers picked up Dennis Schroder last season, many fans saw this as the perfect opportunity to improve. Schroder was brought in as a replacement for Rajon Rondo, and the expectation was that Schroder would take the Lakers to the next level on offense. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen as Schroder largely struggled throughout the season, especially during the playoffs where the Lakers were eliminated by the Phoenix Suns.

Despite these problems, the Lakers offered Schroder an $84 million contract prior to free agency, and the star eventually turned it down. When free agency began, there was a feeling that Schroder would remain in L.A. although that changed once the Russell Westbrook trade happened.

Now, Schroder remains without a team and the situation is starting to look a bit dire. According to Marc Stein, Schroder has not been offered any other deals, and the interest surrounding him is almost non-existent at this point. There were times where he was visibly frustrated with the Lakers, however, this alone shouldn’t have been enough for Schroder to become a pariah of sorts. At this point, Schroder may very well have to settle for a massive pay cut if he wants to play in the NBA next year. 

Schroder’s situation is both fascinating and baffling at the same time. At this point, the Lakers may very well have to do a sign-and-trade, which is something that would benefit all of the sides involved.

Stay tuned to HNHH for updates from around the league as we will be sure to bring them to you.

Shannon Sharpe Ripped Apart For His Criticism Of Dr. Dre’s Daughter

by

Easily one of the most shocking stories of the week was LaTanya Young, Dr. Dre’s eldest daughter, revealing to the world that she’s homeless and living out of her car. The 38-year-old woman and single mother of four recently gave an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail, in which she revealed that she hasn’t received any financial assistance or contact from her father since January 2020. LaTanya thinks that Dr. Dre stopped her rent payments and allowance because she previously made comments about him in the press, and on the record, she also commends Nicole Young for securing such a hefty monthly spousal support payment from her estranged father.

Still, many Twitter users see this as a slight to Dr. Dre’s parenting, with many calling him out for essentially being a dead-beat billionaire. Shannon Sharpe, however, disagrees with that take, and he thinks that we should instead be more critical of LaTanya. Late Wednesday evening, the Undisputed co-host tweeted, “A 38yr old grown woman trying to shame her father into taking care of responsibilities she created.”

Naturally, Shannon Sharpe was quickly hit with backlash as well, with many Twitter users clowning him for siding with someone who has endless resources yet refuses to care for their child. One by one, fans clapped back at Sharpe, but throughout it all, he stood his ground. “What about her kid’s father?” the FS1 host asked one fan. He also argued that no one would know about the Young’s “family business” had LaTanya never have given the story to a tabloid like the Daily Mail.

Check out the back-and-forths below.

What do you think — is Shannon Sharpe onto something or is Dr. Dre flat-out wrong?

Drake’s NOCTA x Nike Hot Step Air Terra Gets A Fresh New Look

by

Drake is gearing up to release his new album Certified Lover Boy which has been highly anticipated for quite some time now. The album was supposed to come out in January although the artist’s ACL surgery ended up delaying things. There were some rumors that Drake could be dropping tonight, although, at this point, no one knows for sure as to what’s going to happen. As for Drake’s other ventures, he has a brand new line with Nike called NOCTA, and soon, it will be getting its very own sneaker collab.

This collaboration has been teased for quite a while now and it has been dubbed the “Nike Hot Step Air Terra” and thanks to The Drop Date on Instagram, we have some new images of the shoe. As you can see, this is meant to be a chunky dad shoe that contains nice leather details and some gold highlights. The vast majority of the shoe is covered in white, which is a theme we have seen quite a bit of when it comes to Drake’s various sneakers with the brand.

There have also been teasers concerning a CLB Nike Air Force 1 Low, although it remains to be seen whether or not those are actually going to be released. As for the Nike Hot Step Air Terra, this model is slated to drop in the Fall for $150 USD. There is no official release date at this time, so stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest details.

Fat Joe’s Passionate Verzuz Narration Sparks Twitter Trend

by

Fans are still buzzing about the Verzuz battle between The LOX and Dipset, which took place on Wednesday night at Madison Square Garden. As it happens, one such fan includes the legendary Fat Joe, who took some time to share a detailed and passionate recap of the monumental hip-hop event.

In a forty-seven-minute clip on his Instagram page, Joey Crack came through with a clutch play-by-play of The LOX and Dipset’s epic tete-a-tete. Not only is it a helpful breakdown for those that happened to miss the event, but it’s also loaded with hilarious moments, insightful storytelling, perceptive analysis, and hip-hop history. A perfect concoction really, and a testament to the wisdom and charisma Joey Crack brings to the table.

Unsurprisingly, many were quite taken with some of the more humorous moments — and rest assured there are plenty of quotable soundbites, which quickly drove Joey to become a trending topic on Twitter. Such moments include a Jadakiss impression that earns an “A” for effort, his near-willingness to pull a “Lil Mama” and flood the stage during “New York,” a desire to see our hip-hop legends maintain strong dental hygiene, an analysis of the moment Drake became “certified,” and much, much, more.

In all seriousness, it’s genuinely refreshing to see Fat Joe’s passion come through; it’s already clear that the man has dedicated his love to hip-hop, and his recent transition into an archivist slash storyteller has led to some cultural gems. Be sure to show Fat Joe some love in the comments, and check out some of his commentary highlights below. Who knows — perhaps we’ll see Joe launching a reaction channel in the near future, given how much love he’s been getting for this one.
