Around this time last year, people flooded the beaches of Florida in celebration of spring break, despite a global pandemic. You might remember the one gentleman, Brady Sluder, who said, “If I get corona, I get corona... At the end of the day, I’m not going to lewt it stop me from partying.” He ended up apologizing afterward but that doesn’t negate the fact that he was already in Miami as the breakout continued.

Apparently, not many others have learned from last year’s debacle. Thousands of people flooded to Miami to celebrate spring break, specifically South Beach where very little social distancing or mask-wearing was happening. This forced Mayor Dan Gelber to declare a state of emergency and an 8 p.m. curfew that was enforced on Saturday night. Authorities are telling tourists to remain inside their hotel rooms during curfew hours.

“Too many are coming, really, without the intention of following the rules, and the result has been a level of chaos and disorder that is just something more than we can endure,” Gelber told CNN.

Police in Miami Beach made “at least a dozen” arrests after the curfew was put in place while it’s reported that police had to use pepper balls after a fight broke out at a restaurant on Ocean Drive. 

The 8 p.m. curfew is expected to stay in effect until Tuesday while roads to Miami Beach from the mainland will be closed at 9 p.m. for the days to come.

Kanye West has made a lot of money throughout his career and now, he is one of the richest men in the world, especially now that his net worth is upwards of $6 billion. Much of this wealth comes from the Yeezy brand and as one can imagine, he has no plans on slowing down the production of his various Yeezy sneakers. One of the silhouettes that will continue to get a ton of love is the Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 V2, which has been Kanye’s most popular shoe since all the way back in 2016.

The latest colorway of the 350 V2 to be teased is the “Light” colorway which can be found below. As you can see, the upper is mostly covered in white, all while the stripe on the sides is beige. This is one of those neutral colorways that the Yeezy Boost 350 V2 does so well, and sneakerheads will certainly appreciate it.

According to Yeezy Mafia, this shoe even has a UV-sensitive stripe, which means sometimes it will change colors. You can expect these to drop sometime in the summer although more information is certainly on the way. As always, keep it locked to HNHH for more updates, and let us know what you think, in the comments below.

It’s been years since we’ve heard from Kendrick Lamar. Sure, that sounds a tad bit dramatic but it has been a hefty minute since the Compton star emerged with new music. The launch of pGLang has fans wondering what his next move is while we’ve been hearing more and more about his forthcoming effort through the grapevine. Unfortunately, we haven’t heard anything concrete about his next album.

The follow-up to DAMN. was expected to drop in 2020, the coronavirus pandemic put those plans on hold until the world is restored. It’s unclear if the project will actually drop this year, especially with how volatile the circumstances are in opening up venues again. Needless to say, everyone is missing his presence in the game right now including Kid Cudi who made this very clear on Twitter last night. “I miss Kendrick,” wrote Cudi along with a screenshot of Kendrick’s lyrics from the hook to “Solo Dolo Part II.” 

The rapper dove deeper into memory lane as he continued to share lyrics and reminisce of a few highlights from his 2013 effort, Indicud. The rapper also shared screenshots of himself listening to “Mad Solar” and “Lord Of The Sad And Lonely.” 

In related news, Kid Cudi is expected to make his appearance on SNL later this month. He also revealed that A Kid Named Cudi is expected to be uploaded to streaming services in the future. 

It feels like it’s been years since Kodak Black has been back with us after his federal prison sentence was expedited by former POTUS Donald Trump, allowing the Pompano Beach native to come back home. He’s maintained a pretty healthy presence on social media since being released, constantly interacting with fans via his Instagram live streams even in so far as joking with them about the clone conspiracy surrounding him. Aside from a few loosies, including a collab with YNW Melly, the rapper has yet to get the ball rolling on his next musical era. It might be arriving soon, however, as the rapper just shared a snippet of a brand new track.

Titled “Drive the Boat,” the rapper shared a preview of the gritty new track via Instagram. He spits on the track:

Roll out the Benz like a bodybuilder/ I shoot a n*gga in the head I face time a n*gga/ I told her man don’t call my phone when I be vibin with her/Drop her a bracelet off the drone cus I’m a fly lil n*gga/Everything I say turn into a quote boy go ask Meg thee Stallion/I ask her let me drive the boat they thought I was Lil Yachty. 

While the rapper initially came for Megan thee Stallion for allegedly taking his phrase “drive the boat” without showing him any love, he quickly sidetracked from his initial statements about her. 

“Make a whole career off of taking one Lil piece of my sh*t & I B Coming For My Money,” he wrote in a since-deleted tweet about Megan allegedly stealing his “drive the boat” phrase. “Baby ain’t have to go out her way to give my credit but the opportunity came to her.”

He then took a step back from his comments, sending love over to the Houston Hottie instead. “Congratulations Tho Lol I Just Be Bullsh*tting You Good Black Queen I Salute That Shit #KeepItUp,” he wrote under one of her posts. 

It’s likely the line meant no harm, but it does seem like he’s taking a stance as the undisputed originator of “drive the boat.”

When you’re an A-lister or just someone who happens to lean on the wealthier side, birthdays and major holidays surely hit differently. Members of Hollywood favor gifting their loved ones fancy items like luxurious cars, brand new homes, or even brand new Elinatte diamonds. Reviving an MTV-curated pop culture tradition, Kevin Hart recently gifted his daughter a brand new Mercedes SUV for her sweet 16.

Kevin’s 16-year-old daughter Heaven, shared with his first wife Torrei, came home to a surprise party organized by her parents. Appearing to look genuinely shocked in the footage from the event, the party was just the first surprise in store for the teenager. 

The big reveal arrived later when an unsuspecting Heaven was led into the driveway where the luxury SUV sat in the driveway, decorated with an enormous red ribbon. The lowkey, COVID-19 friendly bash sweet sixteen had a theme inspired by the superhero manga series My Hero Academia. Check out footage from the event below. 

In other Kevin Hart news, the comedian recently suffered a major financial loss after it was revealed that his personal shopper stole a whopping $1.2 million from him. The personal shopper in question, Dylan Syer, is facing charges of grand larceny for stealing from Hart.

Kyrie Irving has been having an exceptional season with the Brooklyn Nets and by all accounts, it seems like his team will be going to the NBA Finals, barring any injuries. Throughout the season, Kyrie has been wearing the Nike Kyrie 7 and some pretty dope colorways have been released as a result. With 2021 almost a quarter of the way done, more Kyrie 7 colorways continue to be teased, including this “Weatherman” offering found below.

After a photo of the colorway made it to Twitter, the shoe now has official images courtesy of Nike. As you can see, the sneaker is mostly covered in green with some yellow sonar motifs throughout. The back heel is where we can find the heat map section, which is what truly brings out those classic “Weatherman” vibes. It’s a shoe that sneakerheads have been waiting for, and overall, it looks like an instant cop.

At this stage, there is no release date available for this sneaker, so keep it locked to HNHH as we will be sure to bring you all of the latest updates. Also, let us know what you think of this brand new model, in the comments section below.
