The scandal involving relationship coach Derrick Jaxn has been the talk of social media this week. Jaxn (pronounced “Jackson”) has been the topic of talk shows, media outlets, and a global audience after he and his wife shared that he’d carried on multiple affairs during their relationship. Much of the world had no idea who the “relationship guru” was before this controversy, but Peter Gunz and Rich Dollaz are all too familiar with Jaxn and his criticisms of Gunz’s cheating debacle on reality television.

For those of you who kept up with Love & Hip Hop New York, Peter Gunz solidified himself in reality television infamy years ago after telling Tara Wallace, the mother of his children and his longtime girlfriend, that he’d married his artist, singer Amina Buddafly. It all went down on VH1 and soon, there were seasons of Gunz going back and forth between the two women, and eventually they were both pregnant once again and welcoming more children into the blended family that includes six mothers and 10 kids.

Peter Gunz recalled the time Derrick Jaxn had a few not-so-nice things to say about him, and the rapper’s friend and co-star, Rich Dollaz, jumped in, as well. “I remember this n*gga @derrickjaxn had so much to say about me multiple videos talking sh*t… Ladies be careful whom you worship all that glitters ain’t gold… Don’t fall for the Jesus rebound either,” wrote Gunz.

Dollaz chimed in, “So hold up this the clown n*gga that was posting videos coming for u when the show was on ??” Peter confirmed it was Jaxn. An Instagram user told Gunz that “being a dog is a choice” and none of the controversies had to do with Jesus. He replied, “Tell him that he’s using Jesus I’m an atheist.”

Whether they’re Instagram models, video vixens, social media influencers, or just “baddies,” women have been attracting the attention of artists since the inception of music itself. Rappers, particularly, like to have the most beautiful woman on the block on their arm, and while there’s nothing wrong with that, The Game believes that his fellow musicians should look for something more. The Los Angeles emcee has often had models and actresses by his side, in real life and in his music videos, but he told the public that they should be more concerned with locking down Mrs. Right instead of Ms. Right Now.

“There are so many beautiful women in the world, especially these days,” penned the father of three on Twitter. “Even when you get you a ‘bad b!tch’ soon as you got her, you see another 1 you THINK is badder.. then you gotta have that one and repeat this process until you’ve lost em all one by one. Find yo wife & delete IG.”

For the most part, the advice was met with open arms, but some noted that it isn’t just about deleting social media apps and stated that people have to embrace loyalty and discipline. Check out the post and a few responses below, and let us know if you agree with The Game.

Stephen A. Smith is a legendary broadcaster and he is known for being a huge fan of the New York Knicks. Unfortunately, the Knicks haven’t given him much to cheer about over the last decade or so, but this year, there seems to be something fresh in the air. The Knicks are currently holding on to a playoff spot, and as it stands, the team looks like it is building a brand new culture that every fan should be excited and happy about.

The team is not without its problems, however, especially when it comes to owner James Dolan. Recently, Dolan had a fan escorted out of Madison Square Garden after wearing a “Ban Dolan” shirt to a game. Smith was angered by this and took to First Take today with some less than complimentary remarks for Dolan. In nicer terms, Smith claimed that Dolan is extremely immature.

“I’m so disgusted I don’t even know where to begin. … They have a grown man as an owner who’s a child,” Smith said. Smith has never had nice things to say about Dolan although this time around, Smith was particularly mad especially since the Knicks have been doing so well as of late. Smith made sure to make note of the strides the Knicks have made over the past few months, and he feels like all Dolan needs to do is just shut up.

These are sentiments that Knicks fans know all too well, and it only makes sense that it was Stephen A. who summed it all up so well.

There has been an increase in rappers who have had run-ins with the law. Most recently, NBA YoungBoy reportedly attempted to run from federal authorities, Casanova remains incarcerated on allegations that he’s a drug-trafficking gang member, Silento is accused of murdering his cousin, DaBaby was detained in Beverly Hills for carrying a loaded firearm—and that’s just this year. OMB Peezy also found himself in handcuffs after being arrested in connection with the shooting on the set of Roddy Ricch and 42 Dugg‘s music video. He recently spoke about his charges and is certain that he’ll beat the case.

“I’mma soldier. I’m alright. I know God got me,” said the rapper while on VladTV. “I know God ain’t gon’ bring me to it if ain’t gon’ bring me through it. I don’t really be stressin’ too much.” He added, “I ain’t gon’ lie and act like a n*gga just…like I don’t be gettin’ into my thoughts and sh*t. ‘Cause I sho’ be gettin’ in my thoughts like damn, they can watch a n*gga if they want to, but I don’t really let it beat me up too much though.”

Vlad mentioned that Lil Durk is still facing his charges and has channeled his energy into making the best music of his career. He suggested that Peezy do the same, but the rapper stated he doesn’t need charges to pen hits. “I make good music without this sh*t,” said Peezy. “It’s just, the world we in, it’s so f*cked up.  Like, certain sh*t make them pay attention to the sh*t you say, if that makes sense.”

“Now, they’re actually paying attention to what I’m sayin’ in my music. Because he’s received negative press about the charges, people are now interested in who he is because of the potential infamy attached, and it’s something that OMB Peezy isn’t a fan of. Check out his clip below.

When LeBron James suffered an ankle injury last Saturday, Lakers Nation held their collective breaths as they were hoping that LeBron’s injury wasn’t the worst. In the end, LeBron found himself with an ankle sprain which is never easy to recover from, especially if you are 36 years old. Regardless, LeBron is someone who takes good care of his body, and if fans had to guess, he would probably be back sooner rather than later.

According to Shams Charania of The Athletic, LeBron’s recovery timeline has been set between four to six weeks which is about the average when you think about ankle problems. This is not good news for the Lakers, however, as they will now have to spend over a month of basketball without their leader, which could lead to some issues in the standings.

Regardless, the Lakers are virtually a lock to make the playoffs this season which means the Lakers probably won’t feel it necessary to rush LeBron back onto the court. You never want to put your superstar into a vulnerable position, and at this point, the Lakers have enough of a cushion that they don’t need to panic.

As the weeks go by, more LeBron updates will be given so be sure to keep it locked to HNHH for all of the latest news and updates.

She seems to go viral after people take jabs at her online and DaniLeigh is struggling with the pressure. The Def Jam artist has been taking a few hits on social media in recent months for a variety of reasons. Last year, she engaged in a Twitter beef with the mother of DaBaby’s daughter, and later, she and the rapper came forward to announce that they were together. After sharing loved-up posts for a few months, the romance came to an end amid her “Yellow Bone” colorism accusations, and DaniLeigh found herself on the receiving end of trolling and criticism.

What has followed has been rumors about whether or not she’s pregnant and taunting about a recent live performance. Most recently, DaniLeigh caught the attention of Snowfall actor Amin Joseph when she tweeted that she couldn’t get into the show. He told her, “It’s a black thang, you wouldn’t understand.”

Like clockwork, social media once again made the exchange a viral moment for the rapper, and she seemed to respond to all the backlash on Instagram. “I look like an idiot,” she wrote in separate posts on her Story. In another slide, she added, “I feel l cry every other day.. I jus want my life to change already… [broken red heart emojis] I don’t wanna be here no more.. I got no real love around me.”

Immediately, people began to reach out with uplifting messages as they were concerned that she may harm herself. We sincerely hope that she’s linked with her loved ones who will surround her with positivity. Check out the posts below as well as reactions from fans.

There has been a ton of movement at the trade deadline today and now, the NBA has a new look to it. Many teams are going to be much different than we typically know them to be, and this will certainly inject some excitement into the season as we head closer to the end of the year. Other teams have been enacting buyouts, which means they are taking a loss on a player’s contract so that that player can become a free agent and sign wherever they like.

Andre Drummond was the first to be bought out today and the second was LaMarcus Aldridge. The Spurs and Aldridge have been working towards this next step and today, Aldridge decided to thank the Spurs faithful with some photos of his time in the city.

“Five years of unforgettable memories….Thank you, San Antonio!” he wrote on Twitter. While Aldridge didn’t spend an extremely long amount of time in the city, there is no doubt that he is a beloved player and is one of the last oldheads from the team’s most recent championship.

Now, he will get to go wherever he wants, and we’re sure there will be come contenders out there looking to acquire a veteran of his stature.
