Sexyy Red Claims She’s Under Surveillance In Mexico, Earns First Solo Apple Chart No. 1

by

Sexyy Red has accused Mexican law enforcement of surveilling her ever since she entered the country. Red has claimed she was pulled over multiple times and there have been drones spotted over her hotel. Mexican law enforcement is yet to comment on the claims. It is unclear why Red would be under surveillance. However, the rapper is clearly agitated by the alleged attention.

Meanwhile, Red also secured her first solo No. 1 on the Apple Music charts with her new single “Get It Sexyy”. It is the second time she has hit No. 1 on the chart, with the first being as a feature on Drake’s “Rich Baby Daddy”. “Get It Sexyy” is yet to debut on the Billboard Hot 100. However, its strong performance on the Apple chart should be a positive indication as to where it could land with Billboard. Red is expected to drop an album later this year amid a big summer of music releases.

Sexyy Red Wants To Cameo On Abbott Elementary

Elsewhere, Red recently revealed her desire to make a TV cameo, tweeting out “How I get on Abbott Elementary?” The show, created by and starring Quinta Brunson, centers around a fictional underfunded Philadelphia elementary school. However, the show’s third season included an unexpected time jump after Brunson’s character left Abbott to accept an administrative role with the school district. It wouldn’t be the show’s first musical cameo. Season 3 also included a multi-episode arc centered on Vince Staples.

Furthermore, Red’s desire to land TV spots is in line with a career plan she shared with Billboard last year. “I’m going to just be getting richer, bigger, more trendier. I’m going to be everywhere. And I’m going to be in it for the long haul, [but] not even on purpose, though. Even if I try to stop rapping, they’re going to take some sh-t, turn it into something. Put me on the blogs, make it something it doesn’t even have to be, so Imma be here for a minute,” Red declared.

Megan Thee Stallion’s NSFW “Hot Girl Summer” Tour Announcement Gets Restricted By Instagram

by

It’s been an undoubtedly exciting few months for Megan Thee Stallion, and fortunately for fans, the fun is just getting started. Amid the fallout of her infamous feud with Nicki Minaj, which was sparked by the release of Meg’s track “Hiss,” she appeared on Good Morning America where she announced her tour. Last week, she finally unveiled a list of cities she plans to hit, including Chicago, Atlanta, Tampa, LA, Vegas, and more.

While actual dates aren’t yet set in stone, Meg says the tour is scheduled to begin in “mid-May” of this year. She shared the exciting news with a magazine-themed Instagram post, in which she’s pictured swimming in a silver bikini. Unfortunately, while fans were obviously thrilled with the announcement, Instagram wasn’t.

“HOTTIESSS GET READY TO COME HAVE SOME FUN WITH ME AT THEE HOT GIRL SUMMER TOUR,” Meg captioned the image. Shortly after her post, Instagram restricted its visibility due to nudity concerns. She received a warning from the platform, which cited a potential violation of Instagram’s Recommendation Guidelines. Meg later shared the warning with her fans, writing, “Nooo its just a lil cheek lol.” Hopefully, the restrictions won’t prevent too many people from learning of the “Cobra” performer’s tour.

Embarking on her tour isn’t the only thing Megan Thee Stallion has to look forward to these days, however. During her aforementioned Good Morning America appearance, she also announced that she has a new album on the way. While an official release date has yet to be revealed, the Houston-born rapper teased new music she has on the way last week with another cryptic, snake-themed visual. “Loading…,” she captioned the post, “You ready HOTTIES?” What do you think of Instagram restricting Megan Thee Stallion’s tour announcement? Are you looking forward to seeing the “Cobra” performer live? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Aaron Rodgers Unlikely To Be Named Vice President Nominee: Report

by

Aaron Rodgers appears to be no longer in the running to be the vice presidential candidate of Robert F Kennedy Jr’s independent long-shot campaign. Per Puck, the current front-runner is Nicole Shanahan, a wealthy philanthropist and ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin. “Nicole was the big RFK donor behind the Super Bowl ad. $4 million. But she didn’t just pay for it. She thought of the whole idea. Shanahan has money to finance the campaign. I don’t know her net worth. But she used to be married to one of the richest people in the world! That matters to RFK’s team,” wrote Teddy Scheilfer.

It’s unclear what caused Rodgers to fall out of favor despite being a reported frontrunner. It could be that the Jets were reportedly unhappy that Rodgers was considering the offer. Or it might have something to do with Rodgers having to explicitly state that the Sandy Hook massacre was a “tragedy” this week. However, no candidate will be fully ruled out until Kennedy Jr makes his VP announcement in Oakland later this month.

Travis Kelce Responds To Aaron Rodgers “Mr. Pfizer” Comment

Elsewhere, Travis Kelce didn’t appear too fazed by Aaron Rodgers calling him “Mr. Pfizer” on the Pat McAfee show last year. However, in his response, he did remind Rodgers who signed the anti-vax QB’s paychecks. “I thought it was pretty good. I mean, with the stache, I look like a guy named Mr. Pfizer. Who knew I’d get into the vax wars with Aaron Rodgers, man, Mr. Pfizer vs. the Johnson and Johnson family,” Kelce said. The last comment was a reference to the Jets, Rodgers’ team, being owned by the heir to multinational conglomerate, Johnson & Johnson. Of the many products J&J produces, pharmaceuticals and a one-shot COVID vaccine are some of them.

Rodgers dubbed Kelce “Mr Pfizer” due to Kelce appearing in a series of ads encouraging people to get the new COVID vaccine. “Mr. Pfizer, we kinda shut him down a little bit. He didn’t have a crazy impact game. Obviously, he had some yards and stuff,” Rodgers told McAfee. Kelce had a team-leading 60 yards on six catches against the Jets. The Chiefs scored an ugly 23-20 road win.

Cardi B Goes Hard In Sultry New Snaps From “Enough (Miami)” Music Video

by

Cardi B is keeping feet on necks on the charts and on social media, as she just shared some steamy new photos from behind the scenes of her “Enough (Miami)” music video shoot. Moreover, they’re specifically relating to the black and jewelry-adorned fit that she donned for specific shots in the vid, and they’re both of her on-set and in her dressing room. Plenty of superstars such as SZA and Flo Milli chimed in the comments section to give the Bronx MC her flowers for her beauty. With all this online hype, plus a rapidly moving album rollout, it seems like she’s going to stay on top for the foreseeable future.

However, throughout the 31-year-old’s recent press run, she’s also talked about what’s keeping her from having the same love for music she used to have. “I have a couple of problems with music,” Cardi B remarked on 360 with Speedy. “I feel like I don’t like nothing. That’s one of my things. Because I record a song, I love it, two days later, I’m over it. To be honest with you, I don’t really like anything that’s out right now. I listen to music that came out 8, 10, 20, 30 years ago.

“Maybe I’m just so into breaking things down now,” Cardi B continued. “You know, where you overanalyze everything, your music and other people’s music, that I don’t know what I like anymore. Also, it’s just not as fun anymore. Like, when you go to the booth, or when you record, you’re just having fun, you creating. Now, it just be feeling like it’s a pressure. When I did… I call it ‘C**ty,’ because we named it ‘C**ty’ originally. I was having fun, I had fun recording it, I had fun doing the video. When it came out, Jesus Christ, I was like, ‘Damn! Hold up, I just came back, y’alls going too rough on me!’ I gotta get that off my mind because that’s what f**ks s**t up.”

Meanwhile, on Million Dollaz Worth Of Game, she expressed desires to work with Rihanna, but admitted fear at the prospect. Do you think that’s something that will happen eventually? Drop your theories and predictions down in the comments section below. Also, keep checking in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Cardi B.
