Although his daughter Yaya Mayweather has been catching flack for whining about Pooh Shiesty and Lil Durk’s popular song “Back In Blood,” Floyd “Money” Mayweather has been in a celebratory state for a while now. In addition to spending time with his newborn grandson Kentrell Gaulden Jr., the former boxer has been celebrating his 44th birthday for weeks. His birthday officially took place yesterday on February 24, and in honor of the occasion, he hit Miami hotspot Swan for an extravagant birthday party.

According to Page Six, Mayweather’s party was unfortunately cut short by local police. The city of Miami enforces a midnight curfew, and apparently, the party held for 50 Cent’s nemesis ran past it. As a result of the curfew violation, Swan was reportedly given a $500 fine for ignoring the emergency order. According to a representative for Swan, however, the inadherence to the city’s ordinance was not their fault; it was Mayweather’s. In a statement to Page Six, the representative claims that despite high-profile guests like Jadakiss and Busta Rhymes arriving on time, Mayweather came to the party hours late, leading to the venue breaking curfew.

“[Mayweather] showed up two hours late to his private birthday dinner, just before midnight. The police who were in the neighborhood for a vandalism complaint at a nearby garage reminded the venue that they were past curfew and the venue was shut down shortly after,” the representative explained.

Although Floyd’s 44th birthday bash was ended prematurely, Page Six reports that the champ was later spotted partying until 5 am at the Gold Rush Cabaret gentlemen’s club.

Sneakerheads are a diverse group when it comes to their sneaker preferences. While this is certainly the case, there is no denying that many of them hold the Air Jordan 1 in very high regard, and with good reason. It is the first signature shoe ever worn by the likes of Michael Jordan and over the past 36 years, it has received a plethora of incredible colorways that will forever stand the test of time. The brand is also trying to diversify and bring even more new models to the forefront, which is certainly going to happen in 2021.

According to the Instagram sneaker account @zsneakerheadz, yet another new colorway is coming to the Air Jordan 1 in the Fall. This colorway is going to be called “Total Orange” and it will even feature some multi-color elements. Unfortunately, the insider is unaware of what the shoe will potentially look like, hence the lack of a photoshop rendering below.

Based on the information provided below, this colorway is expected to come out on the 11th of September of 2021. There will certainly be more details making their way to the internet soon, so stay tuned for any updates as we will make sure to keep you all informed.

Young Thug is one of the rappers that’s running Atlanta. Along with Young Stoner Life Records, the superstar artist has had his city locked down for a few years. With Slime Language 2 on the way soon, people are excited to see what Thug and his homies came up with this time around. Unfortunately, after the rapper’s latest move on social media, those same fans are worried that something might happen to Thugger, who recently changed his avatar on Instagram to a photo of El Chapo’s wife’s latest mugshot.

The wife of well-known drug kingpin El Chapo, Emma Coronel Aispuro was arrested this week for a charge of participating in a conspiracy to distribute cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, and marijuana for importation to the U.S. Her mugshot was released to the public and, shortly after it popped up on the internet, Young Thug changed his picture on Instagram to it.

While Thug likely meant no disrespect from the swap, enough of his supporters are concerned about possible retribution that Thug’s name started trending on Twitter because of it. Some outlets have also pointed out that two of El Chapo’s sons run active cartels in Mexico, and that this might not have been a smart move. As it stands, Jeffery’s picture is still of El Chapo’s wife.

Do you think Thugger’s move was harmless or could he be facing retaliation?

In other news pertaining to the Slime General, he and his artists recently got matching “Slatt” tattoos on their fingers, seemingly celebrating the upcoming release of their compilation album. Read about that here.

Over these past few years, Jordan Brand has been making a huge push to bring back some beloved Jordan models from earlier in the millennium. These shoes have been rolling out slowly but surely, all while new teasers have made their way to the internet. Considering this year marks the 30th anniversary of the Air Jordan 6, then it would only make sense that some of the silhouette’s older models would be making a return to the market.

Thanks to the Instagram sneaker insider @zsneakerheadz, we now know that the Air Jordan 6 “Midnight Navy” will actually have its comeback. This sneaker came out all the way back in 2000, and this year, fans will get a second chance at copping. As you can see in the images below, the shoe mostly has a white leather upper, all while the tongue, back heel, and midsole are navy blue. It makes for a dope look, that will certainly bring some nostalgia to longtime fans.

The release date has yet to be announced although for now, fans can expect these to drop closer to the Holiday season. Either way, we will be sure to keep you updated so keep it locked to HNHH. As always, let us know what you think about this shoe, in the comments below.

Tory Lanez filed a motion in court for a gag order to be lifted in the case against him in Los Angeles County, but the rapper’s request was denied, meaning that he is still not allowed to publicly address his charges involving Megan Thee Stallion.

Last summer, Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion were involved in one of the biggest rap whodunnits of the last few years. Megan claimed that she was shot in her feet, refusing to break the street code and name her shooter. Eventually, after Tory began using the situation for his own profit, Megan called him out, which led to Tory’s latest studio album Daystar, which he used to paint a picture of himself as an innocent man. Months have gone by and, still, the world doesn’t know the full story of what happened between Tory and Megan. After Thursday’s court hearing, that much won’t change.

Megan Thee Stallion was granted a win in the courtroom today after Tory’s motion to have the gag order on him removed was shut down. Tory’s attorney Shawn Holley reportedly tried to argue that it was “unfair” for the artist to not be able to speak about the case since Megan was freely talking about the incident. However, Megan didn’t actually press charges– the charges were filed by the L.A. County’s DA office.

Despite his future being in the judge’s hands, Tory has been moving around as though nothing happened, evading cancel culture through regular music releases and collaborations with high-profile peers.

Do you think he’ll end up getting the win in this case?

After a day of the Spider-Man cast member confusing fans with three fake movie titles, it was officially announced that the third installment of the series, actually titled Spider-Man: No Way Home, will hit theatres on December 17th. 

Tom Holland (Spider-Man) and co-stars Zendaya (MJ) and Jacob Batalon (Ned), who are returning to the superhero series, each shared a humorous fake movie title on their respective social media accounts. Holland, the first to stir the pot, shared a post with the movie title Spider-Man: Phone Home, Batalon followed up with Spider-Man: Home-Wrecker, and Zendaya joined in on the fun via Twitter sharing the title Spider-Man: Homeslice. Shortly after, the official Spider-Man movie Twitter page announced the real thing, much to fans relief.

In April 2020, there were rumors floating around that the previous Spider-Man actors, Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, would be joining Holland for the third film to follow the concept of Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse (2018). However, in an interview with Esquire, Holland denied that the spider veterans would be joining him for the third movie. 

In other news, there have been several reports that other fan-favorite characters from past Spider-Man movies will be coming back, including Alfred Molina who played the iconic Doctor Octopus in Spider-Man 2 with Tobey Maguire. Jamie Foxx (Electro from the Andrew Garfield Spider-Man movies), and Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange have been rumored to be making appearances in the film as well. However, none of these have been explicitly confirmed.
