Snoop Dogg has lived a long, prolific life. At 49-years-old, he’s still got a lot of time left to enjoy all kinds of magical moments with his family, and he’s making sure to take advantage of every opportunity to see his children and grandchildren after the pandemic. 

Snoop has three children with his high school sweetheart Shante Broadus, as well as a fourth child from a different relationship. Back in 2015, the rap legend became a grandfather for the first time when his son Cordé welcomed a baby boy into the world. Every time the rapper gets to see his grandchildren, he makes sure to keep the camera rolling so he can look back on precious moments with the little ones. On Thursday morning, he shared some highlights from his recent hangouts with his babies’ babies.

“Grandpas youngest grandson,” wrote Snoop on his first picture before sharing a video with the little one, playing Bob Marley and getting him started on reggae music early. Grandpa Snoop went on to share another video of himself coloring with his granddaughter before also showing love to his oldest grandson, Zion Kalvin.

The Doggfather is proud to be a grandfather. Check out some of the photos and videos below of Snoop living his best life with his grandchildren.

When Swizz Beatz unveiled the tracklist to DMX’s upcoming album Exodus, which drops tonight at midnight, many were thrilled to see the project’s second track. “Bath Salts” features both JAY-Z and Nas, and astute fans noted that it was likely the same track once previewed during Swizzy’s epic beat battle with Just Blaze all those years ago. 

Though that track — which sparked stunned reactions upon its premiere — originally featured Jadakiss, it would appear that the Ruff Ryder lyricist did not make the final cut. Either way, it remains among the most anticipated Exodus cuts given its deep history, not to mention the pedigree of legendary emcees on board. Swizz Beatz took a moment to preview the upcoming banger, providing a closer look at some of the Jigga Man’s opening bars.

“Hov is still livin’, Coca Cola’s the sponsor,” raps JAY, over urgent alarm bells and militant drums. “I run up with your boo, uh, Hov is a monster / Yeah, they like me like that / Every girl I see wanna be wifey like that.” From the sound of it, Hov is back on his b.s for this one, giving “Bath Salts” a nostalgic feeling evocative of the golden era. Though die-hard fans have likely memorized Hov’s verse from the version released from beat battle, receiving an official version has been requested for years.

Check back at midnight tonight, when “Bath Salts” and the entirety of Exodus will be out to experience in full. Psyche yourself up with Swizzy’s snippet below, and long live DMX. 

Without debate, Coi Leray is one of the biggest stars in music to have broken out this year. The 24-year-old budding superstar is presently working on her debut studio album, discovering her lane, and becoming one of the most popular women in hip-hop today. She’s been unapologetic in her approach to social media, being herself and constantly peeling back layers of her personality for fans to fall in love with her all over again. 

As she continues to rise in the rap rankings, Coi Leray earned herself a couple of nominations at the 2021 BET Awards. Unfortunately, what should have been a celebratory moment for herself and her team was soured after Yung Bleu claimed he thought he was more deserving. Taking some time to clap back at Yung Bleu, Coi had this to say:

“I’m one of the 6 songs that went platinum this year. Don’t tell me I shouldn’t make shitttt.”

The ceremony will take place on June 27, 2021. 

Do you think she’ll win any of the two awards?

Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox have been dating for quite a while now. They confirmed their relationship last year after Fox split from 91210 actor Brian Austin Green in late 2019, and she later moved on with Kelly when they were on the set filming Midnight In The Switchgrass. Their romance has since become a frequent topic on social media, although their constant PDA doesn’t help.

Since they are so public about their relationship, the rapper turned pop-punker tweeted a sweet little detail on Tuesday night, marking that day as their first anniversary of Fox telling him those special 3 words: “I love you.” This intimate moment, which he shared readily with his followers, just shows how open he and Fox truly are about their love on the internet. The cute acknowledgment also gives us another clue to when they actually started dating, as it wasn’t confirmed to the general public until June 2020.

The loving anniversary comes straight after the Billboard Music Awards where MGK received 2 awards for Top Rock Artist and Top Rock Album. In his acceptance speech for Top Rock Artist, he mentioned that he put out his first mixtape 15 years ago and that the BBMAs was the first stage he’d ever been on to accept an award. The night also featured his tongue being dyed black, and of course, more cute photos of him and Fox.

The internet adores this couple and loves to see them thrive, so let’s hope they continue to do so.

Virgil Abloh’s work with Nike has been praised over the last four years and despite coming through with a plethora of dope releases, it doesn’t seem like Abloh is going to be stopping anytime soon. He recently teased 50 new Off-White x Nike Dunk Low models and now, he has another new Nike Air Force 1 Low on the way. In fact, the shoe used to be dubbed “University Gold” although now it seems like Nike is going with the name “Lemonade.”

The name of the shoe makes sense when you consider how it is covered in yellow leather, all while the Nike swoosh is silver. We also get the signature Off-White hangtag which is what most sneaker collectors are looking for. This shoe is part of Abloh’s new ICA Boston exhibition called “Figures of Speech” which is set to take place between July and September.

Despite the official photos, we still don’t know the release date for these so keep it locked to HNHH as we will be sure to bring you all of the latest news and information. While you wait for the shoe’s release, let us know what you think of the color scheme, in the comments below.

For the first time since January, Nicki Minaj finally updated her Instagram a few weeks ago in anticipation of the re-release Beam Me Up Scotty. While its record-breaking commercial success has proven that the music industry has been feening for new Nicki music, the Queen artist’s recent Instagram posts have been commanding headlines of their own.

Days after showing off her famous figure in an all-pink thirst trap, the Young Money artist returned with yet another steamy photo dump.

Starting her recent Instagram post with two new steamy flicks, the Pink Friday rapper flaunts her figure while wearing a skin-tight matching top and bottom set, eye-catching heels, and a slick pink wig. Following her pseudo thirst traps, Nicki takes things down a notch and shares a wholesome photo of her and her husband Kenneth Petty. Despite the initial backlash that she received for dating Petty, Nicki still proudly displays her husband and the father of her child on Instagram, and the last time that he was spotted on her feed was during the lead-up to Nicki’s big Beam Me Up Scotty reveal. 

See Nicki Minaj’s latest photo dump below, and check out some of the steamiest posts from her return to IG below.

She’s recently been teasing her new album more and more, so stay tuned for Nicki Minaj-related updates.
