A Photo Of Halle Bailey And DDG’s Son Halo Is Now A Viral Meme And The Proud Parents Think It’s Hilarious
Halle Bailey and DDG are both stars, and now so is their son Halo, as a photo of him has become the subject of a terrific meme lately.
The photo in question is a screenshot of a video DDG shared in August, of Wave on what looks like a mall train ride for children. In the viral screenshot, Wave is making a facial expression that’s a mix of concern and fear.
The image has made the rounds online and people have been having fun with it. That includes DDG: On August 30, he tweeted, “who made my son into a meme [laughing emojis].”
He also shared a tweet using the image that reads, “me looking at my bank account after a spending spree.” He added in another tweet, “my son more lit than me, i love it [teary eyed emoji].”
Sexyy Red got in on the fun, too, sharing a clip from the video and captioning it, “Me look at da 7 [black woman emoji] in a Nissan Altima Fly Pass Me Blasting Sexyy Red (I’m Doing 120).” Bailey shared that post and added a simple crying emoji.
Bailey, meanwhile, just made good on her promise of new music in August by releasing “Because I Love You.”
Lil Durk Hints At New Music Coming Soon While Throwing Subliminals
Lil Durk has a couple of things to get off his chest, according to some reposts from DJ Akademiks. Let’s start off with the more recent series of statements first. The Chicago rapper and singer seems to be taking some subliminal shots at either people he knows or contemporaries and did so via an Instagram story. The Voice writes, “When brothers speak bad bout brothers I cut em off 
I don’t even bother to ask questions we know who real and who fake some people won’t change”.
Then, a little bit later, Lil Durk uploaded a collage to the IG feed. This time, the veteran is getting a little more direct with his words. The caption says, “Back in 2012 they counted me out I had to turn up a notch!!!!! This album for the core ”. In regard to his first thought dump, this is nothing new from the drill artist. All you have to do is peruse through his IG page to see that he does something similar every other week.

So, we aren’t going to look to deep into that. Instead, what we are going to focus our attention on is the “album for the core” part. Durk has not been dropping a ton this year, but two of his singles seem to be for the upcoming Love Songs 4 the Streets 3. This would be his ninth studio album, and the third in this more melodic series of projects for him. “Smurk Carter”, “Old Days”, and “Went Hollywood For A Year” look to be prime candidates for LS4TS3. However, the release date and all of the other important details are currently unknown.
What are your thoughts on Lil Durk’s cryptic message and him teasing new music? Do you think the Chicago MC receives too much hate online, why or why not? Have you been enjoying his features and singles this year? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Lil Durk. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Mase Proves His Rapping Skills Haven’t Faded With Impressive New Freestyle
Mase and Cam’ron made their return to their It Is What It Is sports talk show recently, but don’t think that this new endeavor took away their rapping skills. Moreover, the former came through with an impressive new freestyle, and you can see how people loved it in the replies of the post below. It goes to show that these two New York lyricists still have that spark in them after all these years, even if many see them as missing their peak powers these days. We wonder if they will engage with more musical material in the near future, as it’s always a treat when they can cross things over and show off multiple skills at once.
Furthermore, they already received a lot of acclaim for their dynamism on It Is What It Is and for their vast sports knowledge. But Mase isn’t the only one who can turn things into a lyrical onslaught, as Cam’ron has also barred up on some previous episodes, too. Either way, we’re sure that they will have a lot of great content to share and a lot more talent to show off. Maybe they could even have a battle one day centered around a sports debate topic…

Wishful thinking aside, we’re sure that Cam’ron and Mase will tell many more stories on It Is What It Is. One recent recollection concerned the latter’s claims that Big L once set him up for a robbery. “Me and L start talking and the conversation goes super left, you know,” he recalled. “Next thing I know, I’m in The Tunnel [a nightclub] and the n***a Fat Joe comes up to me. A couple months later, we get into it about something. I think it was over a chick or something. I get around the corner on 140th and I walk up 140th on seventh to 141st and a Spanish n***a just run outta nowhere like, ‘Give it up. I’ma kill both of y’all n***as.’”
Meanwhile, apart from his and Mase’s tales on their show, Cam’ron also shares stories via Instagram. “Now they lock two of my n***as up, I start talking s**t,” he said of a tour situation in which police raided the Dipset bus. “‘I don’t care what the bail is, I’m bailing n***as out.’ The bail was $4.8 million. Oh my God, I was sick. But I bailed n***as out, though, and everybody was good. Peace.”

50 Cent Taunts Dame Dash While Listing His Grievances With The Roc-A-Fella Co-Founder
50 Cent says that Dame Dash is out of money and trolled him for his alleged reaction to him signing with Eminem and Dr. Dre back in the day while speaking on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast. He told Gillie Da Kid and Wallo that Dame scoffed at his $1 million offer from Interscope/Aftermath/Shady in 2002 and now is plagued by financial woes.
“The only person that pointed out that a million dollars was no money was Damon Dash, and he has no money now,” 50 said. “‘That ain’t no money. After you get a watch, a chain, you look out for the homies and you do this, that and the third… it’s nothing.’ And I was like, ‘N***a, I’m from 134th Street. A million dollars is a lot of money.’ I’m thinking I hit the lotto! How you gonna say it’s no money? I just never forgot that because of how it felt.”

Adam22 Calls Out Kendrick Lamar Amid YG’s Abysmal Album Sales
Kendrick Lamar has gotten quite a bit of flack online for not sharing anything on social media about the new album from YG, which is currently suffering from disappointing sales. Of course, this is because he was one of many artists to join K.Dot at “The Pop Out” this June. Also, there are a lot of different ways to look at this argument. Kendrick’s defenders will bring up their past collaborations, the concert itself, and their long history as more than enough support, and will also bring up that he doesn’t even use social media like that for anyone or anything. But others like Adam22 think that he could do more, and don’t understand why we let him be so mysterious even if we don’t know how he could’ve supported his West Coast colleague behind the scenes.
“What did Kendrick do for everybody?” Adam22 asked about Kendrick Lamar amid Wack 100’s complaints that Adam and others are “nitpicking” and don’t really know what’s going on between each other. “Why didn’t he post YG’s album?” Adam went on. “That’s what a lot of people want to know. *laughs* I’m just saying. After the whole L.A. got behind him so hard, does he not owe, you know, a little bit of a look here and there? Maybe do a song with somebody for their project?

Adam22 Questions Kendrick Lamar’s Intentions & Gratitude
“I mean, it doesn’t seem like the biggest ask,” Adam22 continued. “Why does everybody just allow Kendrick to just exist in this mysterious, quiet little box away from everybody? And then it’s like he’s not expected to hop on anybody’s project, to do any normal rapper s**t? I do think it’s a decent question. It would’ve been nice if Kendrick shouted out YG’s project, right? That would’ve been him behaving like a normal person, he’s so mysterious. I bet if he was still cool with Drake, Drake would’ve posted his album. They all showed up out of the goodness of their heart. It’s just kind of weird when you’re doing stuff for somebody who doesn’t want to return the favor, right?
“If Akademiks put out a documentary, and I was all up in the documentary, promoting the documentary, helped him out with the documentary. And then six months later, I put out a documentary… Crickets. Ak doesn’t shout it out, doesn’t post about it,” Adam22 concluded. “It’s pretty easy to post about something. I did a lot for you when you were in the exact same position. And you couldn’t return the favor? That makes me feel like this is kind of a one-sided friendship. Why do we not ask of Kendrick the same things that we would expect of, like, anyone else? I’m just wondering why they didn’t get something in return. It would’ve been nice. Yeah, I just think it’s weird.”

DJ Akademiks Clowned For Trolling Kendrick Lamar As “Not Like Us” Streams Slow Down
DJ Akademiks is getting clowned in the comments section of his latest Instagram post for going after Kendrick Lamar as his streams die down on Spotify. He shared an image of the most streamed rappers from June that shows Drake above him. In the caption, he wrote: “The biggest moment of Kendrick’s career is now fading away. Looks like he needs to diss Drake again to save his career.”
The top comments mostly see fans complaining about Akademiks’ passionate bias. “It’s funny how this whole entire time Kendrick never said NOTHING [laughing emoji] the n***a did his thing then skated, nor did anybody from his team say anything [laughing emoji] but drake fans just won’t let it go, this is called proof of a loss,” one user wrote. Another added: “He did what he wanted them songs was a moment, he’s gone now till he’s back. What they was supposed to be #1 for the rest of the year
come on.. we kno how it gonna go. But it’s running down yall chins B dammit.” One more follower wrote: “Remember 1 month ago AK was salty and saying that Kendrick fans need to ‘Let It Go’ …. now look, AK is STILL using this battle for views and engagement … without this Topic AK page will drop down in views and engagement.”

While many hip-hop fans declared Kendrick Lamar the winner of the beef with Drake following the success of his diss track, “Not Like Us,” the Toronto rapper did recently promise to win “Game 2.” He made the proclamation on his Instagram Story but eventually deleted the post. Regardless, Akademiks took the narrative and ran with it during a recent livestream. “But Game 2, we will win,” he argued. “Game 2, we will win. That’s a fact. If you think Drake finna abandon and forsake all them fans, you got to realize, this for the fans right here. You think he gon’ let some p***y a** nas have something over him, his legacy, and his fans? No! Aye, chat, f**k that. This the new thing: Drake in five. Drake in five, people, Drake in five. Remember I told you that.”

Angel Reese Addresses The Narrative That She Only Rebounds Her Own Misses
Angel Reese came into the WNBA as an established college basketball superstar. Overall, she was thrust into a rivalry with none other than Caitlin Clark. Clark struggled during her first few outings in the league, while Angel thrived thanks to her rebounding. Early in the season, it was believed that Reese was the frontrunner for Rookie of the Year. However, in recent weeks, CC has completely taken over, while Reese has continued to be a rebounding machine.
Unfortunately, Reese has been wrapped up in a destructive narrative about her game. Objectively speaking, her shooting percentages at the rim are atrocious for someone of her size. More often than not, she gets more rebounds than she does points. This has subsequently led to some people claiming that all of her rebounds are from her own misses. While this is not literally the case, it is still a narrative that has people questioning whether or not Reese has a strong enough offensive bag.

Angel Reese Dives Into The Debate
After a recent loss, Reese was asked about the narrative surrounding her rebounds. This led to an interesting answer in which she stood up for herself and her abilities. “A lot of people think it’s because I get my own rebounds, but statistically, it’s not,” Reese stated. “A lot of people think it’s because I’m the tallest on the court, when I’m not the tallest on the court.” Reese is clearly not here for any of the slander, and you have to appreciate that. We cannot wait to see her continue to grow as a player.
Let us know what you think of Angel Reese and her rookie season, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that people are being too disrespectful to the Chicago Sky star? Do you believe she deserves rookie of the year over Clark? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world. We will always keep you informed on the biggest stories involving the biggest athletes.
