Hip Hop News

G Herbo and his current beau Taina Williams were rumored to be expecting a child together at the tail end of last year. While entirely speculative at first, the Chicago rapper’s lawyer later confirmed in obtained court documents in December that the news was true. Soon thereafter, the daughter of Love & Hip Hop alum Emily Bustamante began to publically flaunt her growing baby bump. Days after Herbo accidentally revealed they were expecting a baby boy while on Instagram live, Taina confirmed the news in an open letter addressed to the unborn child. 

Sharing more dazzling maternity shots, the influencer penned an open letter to her unborn son. “To my Son,” addressed Taina. “I can’t promise you that dark clouds will never hover over our lives or that the future will bring us many rainbows. I can’t promise you that tomorrows will be perfect or that life will be easy..” 

She went on to write, “I can promise that I’ll willingly be your protector, your advisor, your counselor, your mom, your friend, your everything.” The announcement follows G Herbo accidentally revealing the baby’s gender while engaging with fans on Instagram live. 

Hopefully, G Herbo’s legal woes are at least somewhat resolved by the arrival of their bundle of joy. If you recall, the rapper was named in a $1.5 million federal fraud cause along with members of his crew for allegedly racking up the tab by using fake IDs and stolen credit card information to purchase luxury items. A judge in the case recently granted Herb permission to communicate with other members of his crew he was previously not allowed to contact because of the conditions of his bond release. 

The baby will become G Herbo’s second child and second son. He shares an older son with ex Ariana Fletcher named Yosohn, who was born in 2018. 

Congrats to the couple!

Jay-Z and his wife Beyoncé often choose to forgo doing many sit-down interviews, preferring to control exactly what they choose to reveal by preventing prying journalists from even having the option to ask uncomfortable questions. Cam’ron recently sat down with N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN on Revolt TV’s Drink Champs series and shared a bunch of stories involving the private rap legend including recalling an instance where Hov almost got into a physical altercation with DJ Kay Slay.

Sharing stories about his time at Roc-A-Fella Records during this specific portion of the interview, he mentioned his strained relationship with the label head and the physical fight that almost went down. “Basically, when I got to Roc-A-Fella, I tried to ingratiate myself with everybody,” he recalls. “Y’all got y’all own thing, I don’t wanna come in here and seem like I’m stepping on toes or whatever, so I’m cool with everybody. JAY is a competitor, so me coming there, this was Dame’s situation, this ain’t something that he did.”

He continued, “First thing that happened is I brought Kay Slay up there and I didn’t know he (JAY) was mad at Kay Slay ‘cause [he] must’ve played ‘Ether’ at the time and he was mad at Nas… So, Kay came up there, boom, JAY wasn’t there, but as I’m leaving, Jay is in the lobby of Baseline. So, I walk Kay to the elevator, and I guess Kay and JAY-Z said, ‘What’s up?’ or whatever.”

“So, I walk back in, he said, ‘Yo, you gotta be careful who you’re bringing around here, we might’ve just slapped the sh*t out of Kay Slay.’ And I’m like, ‘Wait, what’s going on?’ He’s like, ‘Yo, just saying, be careful who you bring up here.’ I’m like, ‘Aight, cool. This is y’all house, I ain’t got a problem with that,'” finished The Diplomats member. 

Considering the New York-bred rapper’s Brooklyn upbringing and lyrical content, he likely wasn’t bluffing. Check out the full interview with Cam’ron below and let us know your thoughts on Jay-Z stepping like this.

This week’s R&B season playlist has all the good vibes you need to get you through another long week, and some of our favorites come from Justin Bieber and Fousheé.

Bieber’s new album Justice has received a lot of attention since its release, some good and some bad. Some were angry at the pop star for using Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. samples, which he asserts was just to spread a positive message. Aside from the controversy, “Peaches,” which features Giveon and Daniel Caesar, made history after it became the #1 song alongside Justin’s #1 album, making Bieber the first male solo artist to do this. 

Fousheé came through this week with “gold fronts,” which features rap legend Lil Wayne. The mellowed-out track is a huge feature for Fousheé despite not even having an album out yet, as the R&B singer gained popularity for her song “Deep End,” which went viral on TikTok. 

Gallant also holds a spot on the playlist for his track “Comeback,” which comes off of his new project Neptune. Gallant has been a major figure in R&B for the last few years, but this new release really shows off the breadth of his abilities as an artist. Smooth vocals and a sensual beat shine through on “Comeback,” and the track is certainly not one to be missed. 

Check out this week’s update to the R&B Season playlist below and be sure to subscribe to HNHH on Spotify. 

LeBron James has worn a whole lot of sneakers throughout his career although most fans feel a large amount of nostalgia for the shoes that dropped all the way back when he was leaving Cleveland for Miami. In fact, one of his player exclusive models was a shoe made for those retro blue and orange Cavs jerseys that everyone has grown so fond of. This model was known as the Nike LeBron 8 “Hardwood Classic” and for the better part of a decade, fans have been hoping for this model to be released.

This shoe is exactly like the previous model as it has a mostly blue upper with a ton of orange highlights to make it truly flash. If you are a LeBron James fan, you certainly remember this model and this will be something you’ll want to add to your collection. It’s not every day a PE is made available for sneakerheads everywhere, and this will be your chance to cop one.

No release date has been announced for these so be sure to keep it locked to HNHH as we will bring you all of the latest updates. In the meantime, let us know what you think of the colorway, in the comments below.
