$UICIDEBOY$ Come Through With “Avalon”

by

$uicideBoy$ are back in town with their new single “Avalon,” the latest offering from their upcoming album The New Normal. This one comes a little bit removed from the release of “New Profile Pic,” an expectedly eerie banger from Ruby and $crim that harkens back to their Southern horrorcore influences. That same vibe is revisited here, as $crim kicks things off with a ghostly opening verse.

“Psycho ward, to the mental, I’m a Don,” he raps. “And the ward’s got the fifty in my bond / Escaped the block off them Xannys, so I’m calm.” Contrasting his airy and melodic cadence is the direct approach of Ruby Da Cherry, who goes for the gusto in his opening bars. “Drive these bitches crazy, yeah they always tryna date me,” he raps. “Tryna save me, it’s all because I suck her titties like a baby.” Overall, it’s another solid drop from the duo, and based on what we’ve heard so far, The New Normal is shaping up to be quite promising indeed.

QUOTABLE LYRICS

Drive these bitches crazy, yeah they always tryna date me
Tryna save me, it’s all because I suck her titties like a baby

Lil Baby & Gunna “Drip Too Hard” Is About To Go Diamond

by

The landscape changed when Lil Baby and Gunna collaborated on their joint album Drip Harder. At the time of its release, the two Atlanta-based rappers were just starting to gain traction as the next big superstars in rap. Since then, they’ve each gone on to release #1-charting albums with My Turn and Wunna, respectively. People are still going back to Drip Harder though, which has been evidenced by the latest plaque being sent to both of their studios as “Drip Too Hard,” one of the lead singles from the album, has just been certified nine-times platinum.

The song received its latest certification on Thursday, selling nine million units since its release in 2018. It only took a few short months for the song to get two additional platinum certifications in the United States so, by the end of this year, it’s looking like Gunna and Lil Baby will have themselves a diamond-certified record. Congratulations are definitely in order for this massive accomplishment.

This month, Gunna also earned another platinum plaque for “Lemonade” with Internet Money, which has now gone platinum three times. Lil Baby earned an extra two certifications on Thursday alone, going double-platinum on “Grace” with 42 Dugg and going gold for “This Week.”

Travis Scott And Kylie Jenner Are Reportedly Back Together — And In An Open Relationship

TMZ reports that after a year off from their relationship, Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott have apparently gotten back together, with one big change in their relationship status. According to TMZ’s sources, the couple is dating again but not exclusively. This is apparently a result of Travis wanting to keep the core of their family — the two have been co-parenting their daughter Stormi since the breakup, but Travis wants to offer her a “strong family unit.”

The duo originally declared they were “taking a break” back in 2019 after a little over two years of dating, beginning in spring of 2017. Kylie addressed the breakup shortly after the news broke, saying that “Travis and I are on great terms and our main focus right now is Stormi! Our friendship and our daughter is priority.”

That seemed to be the case for the past year as the former couple was able to successfully co-parent despite the split, even hosting a holiday toy drive in Houston together. All the time they’ve spent together must have rekindled their old flame; TMZ noted that the couple has been spending a lot more time together of late without their daughter as the focus, such as a triple date with Kyle’s sister Kendall, Kendall’s NBA beau Devin Booker, and Justin and Hailey Bieber. Per TMZ, it looks like they’ll be spending a lot more time together in the future — just not exclusively.

Lil Nas X Says He’s Done Mentioning Nicki Minaj After Backlash From Barbz

When Lil Nas X first rose to stardom with “Old Town Road,” it was rumored that he was so into Nicki Minaj that he used to operate a fan account about her. That turned out to be true, although Nas wasn’t forthcoming with that information for a while because he feared being outed as gay. Now, Nas is both openly gay and openly a Minaj fan, both of which he addresses on his latest song, “Sun Goes Down.” However, the Barbz, as Minaj’s fans are called, want Nas to keep her name out of his mouth and it appears he’s going to do just that.

On the track, Lil Nas X reflects on his past, including his admiration for Nicki Minaj, rapping, “I’d be by the phone / Stanning Nicki mornin’ into dawn / Only place I felt like I belonged / Strangers make you feel so loved, you know?” After the song was released, it seems some Barbz thought Nas was using her name for attention. The backlash was apparently severe enough for Nas to vow to stop talking about Minaj.

Taking to Twitter, he wrote, “to the barbz who feel i’m using nicki’s name for attention, the song i released last night was recorded last year. and it’s about my life which 6 of those years were dedicated to nicki. it’s no fake love. but i understand how it looks so i will no longer mention her.”

After Nas admitted he previously denied being a Barb, Minaj responded, saying that while she was initially hurt by that, she understood, writing on Twitter, “It was a bit of a sting when you denied being a barb, but I understand. Congratulations on building up your confidence to speak your truth.”

Adidas Yeezy 500 “Taupe Light” Officially Unveiled: Photos

by

One of Kanye West’s best creations with Adidas has been the dad shoe trend. While it mostly started with the Adidas Yeezy Boost 700 ‘Wave Runner,” the fun continued with the Adidas Yeezy 500. The “Desert Rat” was the first colorway to come from the Yeezy 500 and over the last three years, we have seen numerous offerings make their way to the market. After about a year’s hiatus, the 500 is coming back in a very big way, and in the images below, one can find the new “Taupe Light.” model.

This colorway is extremely straightforward as the same sandy beige tone can be found all throughout the upper. From the suede to the mesh to the midsole, this shoe has a very neutral look to it and we’re sure it’s something that is going to keep sneakerheads engaged. While it’s not the most unique color scheme, it certainly lends itself well to some dope outfits.

As it stands, there is no release date for these, so keep it locked to HNHH as we continue to bring you the latest updates from the sneaker world. In the meantime, let us know what you think of these, in the comments section below.

Pooh Shiesty Fans Voice Displeasure With New Song “Switch It Up”

by

Memphis rapper Pooh Shiesty released four new songs last night as part of his “Spring Deluxe” edition of Shiesty Season. The reloaded effort includes tracks with Lil Baby, G Herbo, and more. Fans were arguably most excited to hear the officially released version of “Switch It Up,” a song that the 1017 representative had previewed a while back with Herb. It’s the first song on the tracklist for Pooh’s new deluxe edition, but fans have been voicing their displeasure after the beat was suddenly switched up.

Given the title of the song, maybe it should be a surprise that Pooh Shiesty and his producers changed the beat but fans are making sure he’s aware that they’re not pleased. “Pooh” is currently a trending topic on Twitter with fans discussing the new deluxe. Many of the comments near the top of the trend are about “Switch It Up” and how everyone wanted to hear it with the original beat.

“Ill be honest switch it up by pooh shiesty sounded better unreleased,” said one fan about the new release. “Can’t believe Pooh Shiesty fumbled switch it up like that this shit is horrendous,” said another fan.

While people are being overly dramatic about the change — the song still bangs, after all — this will likely serve as a lesson to Pooh Shiesty that he should be listening more intently to what his fans want. They’ve been excited about this song for months and now that’s it’s out, they’ve seemingly lost interest.

Did you hear the unreleased version of the song? What do you think of the beat change? Listen to the official release below.

LeBron James’ Wife Savannah Reportedly Wouldn’t Let Him Join The Knicks

by

Back in 2018, LeBron James had a very difficult decision to make. Everyone knew he was going to be leaving Cleveland for a second time and fans were curious as to where his journey would take him. The Philadelphia 76ers were one of the rumored teams all while the New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers were also contenders. In the end, LeBron chose the Lakeshow, however, it reportedly wasn’t his first choice.

While speaking to Brian Windhorst of ESPN, Lisa Robinson of Vanity Fair came out and said that LeBron had every intention of playing for the Knicks although it was his wife Savannah who voted against it. As Robinson explains, Savannah wanted their kids to go to school out West and that the location just made more sense.

“He was thinking about coming to New York but that his wife wanted to be in Los Angeles, wanted the kids to go to school in Los Angeles, and that just kiboshed the whole thing,” Robinson said.

Similar stories have been discussed in the past although considering this was said on an ESPN platform, more people are looking into the claims. If you’re a Knicks fan, this one has to sting a little bit although for Lakers supporters, this is some great news.

Deshaun Watson Lawsuits Were Reportedly In The Works Prior To Trade Request

by

Deshaun Watson is currently being sued by 22 women for sexual assault and all of them have a similar story. Essentially, Watson allegedly hired the women as massage therapists and when he eventually got to be in the same room as them, he acted in some very inappropriate ways. The lawsuits are still in the midst of being deliberated and according to attorney Tony Buzbee, the women have no intention of settling out of court.

In the meantime, there have been theories that the women purposely came forward in the midst of Watson’s trade request out of Houston. Some believe the Texans are behind this, although new information obtained by Sports Illustrated suggests otherwise.

In the SI report, it was revealed that Ashley Solis – the first woman to file a lawsuit against Watson – was sending text messages to another alleged victim back in December. In these text messages, Solis claims she had reached out to Buzbee’s law firm and that she had plans to file a lawsuit against Watson. This was well before Watson had requested to leave the Houston Texans.

This latest report gives us some new context when it comes to these accusations, and it’s clear that regardless of Watson’s request, these allegations would have been imminent. There is still a lot to be figured out in this case, so stay tuned to HNHH for the latest updates.
