Saweetie & YG Are Boo’d Up On Night Out Amid Chris Brown & Quavo Drama
Despite Chris Brown and Quavo dragging her name through the mud in their response diss tracks to each other, Saweetie and her partner YG are seemingly partying through it all. Moreover, they recently went on a club outing for one of Power 106‘s anniversary parties on Thursday night (April 25). While it’s obviously impossible to assume their attitudes, mental spaces, and moods with just one clip, it seems like they were at least relaxed and just happy to be there. Whether or not they’re actually worrying about this situation or whether it’s caused a bump on their journey, they’re certainly not letting the cameras find out.
Furthermore, for those unaware, Saweetie actually responded to Quavo mentioning that he can turn any model into her by posting a screenshot of an alleged DM that the former Migo sent her back in January, which she still hadn’t opened. He hasn’t responded to this move publicly at press time, and we wonder whether or not he thought that his bars would come across as more defensive than mocking. Regardless, she hasn’t really said much about Chris Brown and about how he claimed to have slept with her while she was with Quavo in the first place, opening up this whole can of worms. This is all mostly speculative, but you can start to see where the tea really gets interesting in this whole debacle.

Of course, there’s a good chance that the Icy Girl will respond to some of this on her upcoming single, which she has teased quite heavily and much to fan excitement. After all, she recently suggested that she might rewrite some bars for it while this whole beef between Quavo and Chris Brown was heating up with diss tracks and responses. No matter how Saweetie chooses to handle this moving forward, YG’s seemingly got her back. But we know that things can change quickly, especially behind closed doors that we can’t peep behind just yet.
For example, this couple were recently the subject of breakup rumors themselves, so we can only wish them the best moving forward. Still, what do you think about this whole situation? However you may feel, let us know your thoughts down in the comments section below. Also, check back in with HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Saweetie, YG, Chris Brown, and Quavo.

Then, in late 2023, Southside and Lil Yachty dropped “Gimme Da Lite.” On “President,” the veteran incorporates some stunning synths, horn sections, and rumbling bass.

YG Drops A Speaker “KNOCKA” With New Single
YG was one of the hottest names out of California when he came up in the early 2010s. He was celebrated — deservedly so — for projects like My Krazy Life and Still Brazy. Each provided tons of bangers and some terrific G-funk nods. However, his last few records such as STAY DANGEROUS, I GOT ISSUES, and etc. have not been nearly talked about as much. But YG is proving that he still has plenty left in the tank with “KNOCKA.”
This is his first solo release since 2022’s “Miss My Dawgs” with Lil Wayne. Over the last year or so, his singles have been collaborations with Tyga mainly. Tracks like “Brand New,” “PLATINUM,” and “PARTy T1M3” were all for their 2023 team effort Hit Me When U Leave The Klub: The Playlist. But “KNOCKA,” according to Genius, is looking to be a promotional teaser for Just Re’d Up 3.

Big Sean Teases New Album During 2024 NFL Draft Show
Big Sean joined Eminem and Smokey Robinson as celebrity musicians who, in one way or another, formed part of the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit, Michigan on Thursday night (April 25). Moreover, in his case, he gave fans and patrons a 30-minute set spanning over some of his biggest-ever hits, dedicating a couple to football players and teams while making his love for the Detroit Lions very clear. However, most excitingly for hip-hop fans, the Detroit MC teased that he’s working hard on his next album, which would be the follow-up to 2020’s Detroit 2. Considering how much hardcore fans and non-believers liked not just that album, but also his recent material, then we have a potential smash hit in the cards coming very soon.
Furthermore, this includes the rapper’s most recent single, “Precision,” and something that this performance proved as well. It was great to see him revisit his catalog with some revamped skill and all that he’s learned throughout his extensive and wide-ranging career. Big Sean also remarked on how this was his first hometown show in almost two years. “The fact I went to school right around the corner from here…” he recalled. “I used to record right around the corner at my homie’s studio, and this was all I ever wanted to do, man. So I just gotta say thank you for anybody who’s ever heard a song of mine, sang it at a bar, purchased a song.”

Elsewhere, the 36-year-old spoke on how he almost got a truly legendary hometown crossover to happen, but it just didn’t pan out. “It reminded me of an old Eminem [beat,” Big Sean said in an Essence cover story about a J Dilla instrumental he had while working on Detroit 2. “And when I sent it to Em, he was like, ‘Man, I like the Dilla beat, for sure. I get it.’” Apparently, Marshall Mathers chose to join the posse cut “Friday Night Cypher” instead.
Meanwhile, if you want to see more of the Sean Don’s talents, you should definitely check out his recent Tiny Desk Concert. Are you excited for whatever he’s got in store for us next?

Kai Cenat Rips Kanye West For Calling Him An “Industry Plant”
Kai Cenat is one of the biggest streamers on Twitch right now. Overall, he has built an exceptional brand through streaming. He has millions of followers on the platform, and he was one of the most subscribed to creators. Although he has had his fair share of controversies, there is no doubt that the fans still rock with him. Now, however, it seems as though Kai is at odds with none other than Kanye West. When Ye gets mad at someone, he will typically hold the grudge, and that has held true for his issues with Cenat.
It all started when Kai bought some Yeezy pants from Ye’s website. Once he got the clothes, he quickly realized that they didn’t fit very well. This led to a hilarious moment on stream that Ye did not find particularly funny. He eventually got into Kai’s DMs and accused him of being paid off by Adidas. Subsequently, during an interview with Justin Laboy, Ye claimed that Cenat was an “industry plant.” During his most recent stream, Cenat decided to address this comment, and he did not hold back.

As you can see in the video above, Cenat notes that he has been streaming and making content since 2018. Furthermore, he makes it clear that this feud should have never happened, in the first place. Had Ye just sent him some pants that fit, there would be no problems. Either way, it feels like a feud that was very easily avoidable. Hopefully, cooler heads can prevail here, and the two get on some good terms.
Let us know what you think of this response from Kai Cenat, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that Kanye West will eventually come around and look to patch things up with Kai? What do you make of this feud? Is it manufactured? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the entertainment world.

SOURCE SPORTS: Lakers Season on Life Support After 11th Straight Loss to Nuggets
In a stunning display of resilience, the Denver Nuggets secured a Game 3 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, extending their win streak over the Lakers to an impressive 11 games. Despite facing a double-digit deficit for the third consecutive game, the Nuggets emerged triumphant with a final score of 112-105.
Aaron Gordon led the charge for the Nuggets, delivering a Playoff career-high performance with 29 points and 15 rebounds. He was supported by a formidable quartet of Nuggets players, including Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, and Michael Porter Jr., each contributing over 20 points to the team’s victory.
Gordon and Jokic made history as the first teammates to achieve at least 20 points and 15 rebounds each in the same Playoff game since 2011. With their dominant performance, the Nuggets now have the opportunity to sweep the Lakers for the second consecutive Playoffs, a feat not achieved since LeBron James’ Cavaliers swept the Raptors in 2017 and 2018.
Despite Anthony Davis’ consistent scoring efforts for the Lakers, posting his third-straight 30/10 game in the series, and LeBron James’ commendable performance with 26 points and 9 assists, the Lakers struggled from beyond the arc, shooting just 5-for-27 from deep.
“You come out with the mindset, ‘Let’s get one, force a Game 5, and then we go from there,’” James said. “As long as you still have life, then you obviously have belief. I just think you play ’til the wheels fall off.”
As the Lakers face an uphill battle, trailing 0-3 in the series, they aim to defy the odds and become the first team in NBA history to overcome such a deficit to win a series. The pivotal Game 4 is scheduled for Saturday, marking a crucial moment in their quest for redemption.

SOURCE SPORTS: Embiid Drops 50 on Knicks in Game 3
After the Philadelphia 76ers’ Game 2 loss to the opposing team, Joel Embiid rallied with a remarkable performance. He scored a Playoff career-high 50 points despite battling Bell’s Palsy. His outstanding contribution led the Sixers to a crucial 125-114 win, narrowing the series deficit to 2-1.
In a display of sheer dominance, Embiid’s 50-point performance placed him in rare company. He became only the 33rd player in NBA history to achieve such a feat in a Playoff game. Notably, he joins the elite ranks of Sixers legends Allen Iverson and Billy Cunningham as the third player in franchise history to accomplish this milestone.
What sets Embiid’s performance apart is his exceptional efficiency, making him the first player in Playoff history to score 50 or more points on fewer than 20 shot attempts. His superlative stat line of 13-of-19 from the field, 5-of-7 from beyond the arc, and 19-of-21 from the free-throw line in just 41 minutes exemplifies his unparalleled skill on the court.
Embiid’s stellar performance was complemented by standout contributions from his teammates, including Tyrese Maxey, who recorded 25 points and seven assists, and Kelly Oubre Jr., who added 15 points and seven rebounds.
Game 4 is on Sunday.
