Cardi B Explains Her Controversial Joke About Atlantic Records Being A Prison

by

Cardi B ruffled a few feathers with her latest Instagram Story post for a couple of reasons. For those unaware, she posted a picture of her in the studio on Wednesday (August 28) that referred to it as the “Atlantic Records correctional facilities.” While a lot of people didn’t like how the Bronx femcee was seemingly unenthused about working on her long-awaited sophomore album, others took more direct issue with comparing this kind of career with a prison. Regardless of what side of these criticism she took the most issue with, she blasted the critics all the same in a new tweet on Thursday (August 29).

“The fact that I made a little joke about the studio because I been mixing and mastering about 40-50 songs and y’all turned that into I hate creating is crazy,” Cardi B shared with her followers. “This why artists don’t interact anymore cuz y’all will take one little joke and stretch it wider than y’all a**holes. God forbid I make a little sarcastic jokey jokey about motherhood y’all gonna claim I hate my kids and call cps…dweebs.” “HITS AND BEAUTIFUL A** KIDS,” she clapped back at a fan asking what she does create.

Cardi B Claps Back At Critics Of Her Atlantic Records Joke

In other news, amid Cardi B’s third pregnancy and Offset divorce, she revealed that she didn’t like the short time that she spent living in Atlanta. “I don’t live in Atlanta, I have a house in Atlanta,” she told social media. “I only go to Atlanta like three or four times a year. And probably I go for a week, maybe less. I tried to move to Atlanta in 2018 and I lived there for like six months. And I hated it. I don’t have not one friend in Atlanta, and I don’t have not even one family member in Atlanta. So I just don’t like Atlanta.”

Meanwhile, it seems like Cardi B might have a new hip-hop suitor in the form of Pooh Shiesty, although Offset might have taken issue with that. Regardless, it’s going to be exciting to see what she has in store for the rest of the year. Some conflicting reports emerged over the past months as to whether or not this sophomore project will come out in 2024 or later. Hopefully, the Bardi Gang will have more reason to celebrate before we ring in the New Year.

GloRilla Defends Topless Dancing Video Amid Backlash: “I Bought Them”

by

Earlier this week, GloRilla took to social media to promote her new single with Rob49 and Skilla Baby, “Mama.” She shared a clip of herself dancing without a top on, covering her breasts with her hands and rapping along to the track. Unfortunately, some fans weren’t feeling the suggestive clip and began to speculate that her label was behind it.

According to Glo, however, this couldn’t be further from the truth. The femcee addressed the backlash on Instagram Live recently, urging critics to just mind their own business. “Let me tell you b*tches something,” she said. “Y’all had so much to say because I was dancing to my song holding my titties. Don’t worry about what me and my titties doing. B*tch, I bought them.”

GloRilla Shuts Down Critics’ Theories On Instagram Live

She went on, insisting that her label didn’t put her up to this and that the video was her decision. “The label ain’t making me do sh*t,” she explained. “A h*e gone be a h*e. Y’all just be swearing muthaf*ckas make muthaf*ckas do sh*t. Like everything I do I be wanting to do it. Y’all just got to learn to mind your business sometimes.” This isn’t the first time GloRilla has responded to fans’ feedback as of late, however. Earlier this month, she came under fire for previewing a track featuring the R-word.

Most listeners weren’t happy with the word being used, and it appears as though she heard them loud and clear. She later re-teased the track on Instagram, which no longer features offensive term. What do you think of GloRilla shutting down theories that her label is forcing her outside her comfort zone? What about her coming to her own defense amid backlash for a topless dancing video? Do you agree with her or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

6ix9ine Gets Hit With An International Warrant For His Arrest

by

The Dominican Republic has reportedly issued an international warrant for 6ix9ine’s arrest, according to local outlet Diario Libre‘s Thursday report (August 29). Per the publication, the Court of Appeals in the Judicial District of La Vega posted this warrant and declared that he was “in rebellion” outside the D.R. since June of 2024. Therefore, they request that law enforcement authorities apprehend the rapper in any country they find him in if he doesn’t surrender first. For those unaware, this warrant stems from his October 2023 arrest for allegedly assaulting two producers, whose lawyers recently filed a motion to request his arrest.

Furthermore, this alleged assault occurred during a recording session with 6ix9ine’s then-girlfriend, Yailin La Mas Viral, and he saw freedom following a $500,000 bond. This past January, though, he was arrested again in the Dominican Republic over domestic violence claims and was released on bond a week later. Authorities ordered the New York City native to cough up a $510 deposit, engage in government counseling, and reunite with them every two months until they close their investigation into his alleged abuse of Yailin.

Sadly for 6ix9ine, this news adds to a pretty long string of public losses over the last few months. For example, Lil Tjay recently gave his ex a chain, which was probably not very fun for him to see. Regardless, the 28-year-old continues to trudge through his legal issues and his personal, social media antic-heavy struggles. We don’t know how this whole saga will end, although this new international arrest warrant certainly makes things more complicated and dire. Maybe he will eschew all of his other storylines and focus first and foremost on this challenge.

Meanwhile, speaking of other storylines, this all comes as 6ix9ine is flaunting a new hairstyle and making his return to new music. He just dropped a single, “Wassup,” to mark the start of this new era, one whose longevity is very much up in the air at this point. We’ll see if anything comes of this international arrest warrant. After all, we can’t imagine how something like this wouldn’t make someone change their movement significantly.

The Game Gets Served By Private Investigator In Sexual Battery Case

by

Back in 2015, a former contestant from The Game’s VH1 reality show She’s Got Game, Priscilla Rainey, sued him. She accused the rapper of sexual battery, alleging that he groped her under her clothing without consent during an off-camera date. A jury later awarded her about $7 million, a judgment he insisted he would never pay.

“Don’t be fooled by these accusations or the dollar amount in the headlines,” he wrote at the time. “Cause I put that on my favorite aunties poodle this broad ain’t gettin sh*t! Every girl on that show will tell u I never touched this chick or ever desired to be anywhere near her.” Now, however, AllHipHop reports that he’s been tracked down by a private investigator who served him with multiple legal documents.

A proof of service filing obtained by the outlet shows that The Game was served earlier this month. The documents included a notice of a right to a homestead exemption hearing, an order regarding the proposed sale of a dwelling, and more. The news arrives shortly after it was revealed that Rainey plans to seize the rapper’s Calabasas home as part of her asset collection approved by the court. It also comes after she subpoenaed his children’s school district for proof of residence and attendance records in July, seized his publishing and label, and more.

The Game is currently scheduled to appear in court on October 7 to argue against the possible home seizure. What do you think of The Game getting served by a private investigator earlier this month? Are you surprised or not? What about his ongoing legal battle with Priscilla Rainey? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Fat Trel Reportedly Arrested In DC As Footage Surfaces Online

by

Fat Trel has reportedly been arrested in his home city of Washington, D.C., and we now have some new footage to look at concerning the alleged incident. Moreover, a clip shared by ABC reporter Beatrice Peterson shows him sitting on a wall with his arms extended out beside him during what appears to be a sobriety test for police. Per Peterson, law enforcement pulled the Definition Of Big Dude collaborator over on Wednesday (August 28) due to a traffic stop for running a red light. He “was reportedly under the influence, he had an open container and had been driving on a revoked license,” Peterson claims.

Furthermore, it still seems like Fat Trel is continuing his album rollout for this week, so it seems like this won’t change those plans. The last headline we heard from him was about Master P allegedly owing him and many other artists money. “I feel like we are destroying each other by not thinking,” P said on The Breakfast Club last year. “We just talking. Me, I’m a humble man. I’m a God-fearing man.

“I come from the streets, I tried to change my life,” Master P continued concerning Fat Trel and others’ accusations. “I want to show people how to grow up, change and do what I’ve done, I feel like we don’t value relationships no more. All we value is views, TikToks, likes, followers. But what about when you burning those bridges and you have to come back on that bridge? Everything that go up come down. Anybody give you an opportunity, you should be able to value that and be thankful.” “This other thing happened six years ago,” he said of allegedly not paying Jess Hilarious for film production work. “I’m saying, why are we arguing and fussing about that? Other cultures are not doing that…That’s the past. We can’t change the past but we can change the future. But we can be thankful of somebody gave me an opportunity.

“I’ve only given people opportunities,” Master P responded to Fat Trel. “Ive never forced an artist to make music or go into the studio. It’s sad that it’s always us against us. But I’m going to keep educating the ones that want to learn and grow. And to everyone I’ve crossed paths with, I wish them success.”
