by

Recently, Justin Bieber took to Instagram to announce the birth of his and his wife Hailey’s first child. The pair first announced the pregnancy in May with an adorable photoshoot, and are celebrating their little one’s arrival in a similar way. The singer shared a sweet photo of Hailey holding the baby’s tiny foot, which she later shared on her Instagram Story earlier today. “WELCOME HOME,” he wrote simply. “JACK BLUES BIEBER [bear emoji].”

As expected, countless fans and peers are leaving supportive messages in his comments section. “Baby fever up 1000,” Ice Spice said of the adorable photo. “OMG BEAUTIFUL!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!” Tems wrote. “Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaa congrats brother,” Ty Dolla Sign added. Kylie Jenner, Chance The Rapper, Coi Leray, Kevin Hart, and more also joined in.

For now, it remains unclear exactly when the child was born, though Hailey told W magazine that she was already six months along when she finally announced the pregnancy. According to her, the bump didn’t become obvious until her second trimester, making it fairly easy to hide. “I didn’t have a belly, really, until I was six months pregnant, which was when I announced it. I was able to wear big jackets and stuff,” she explained. When she finally revealed the exciting news, she told the outlet she was relieved. “I didn’t enjoy the stress of not being able to enjoy my pregnancy outwardly,” she described, “I felt like I was hiding this big secret, and it didn’t feel good. I wanted the freedom to go out and live my life.”

PlayThatBoiZay’s New Album “VIP” Is Pure Delirium

by

PlayThatBoiZay, outside of some spot features and loose singles, has been quite inactive. However, there is a gut-wrenching/valid reason as to why that’s been the case. According to Clash Music, the Florida product nearly lost his life in 2021 due to a car accident in 2021. It was so serious that he was “unable to walk and in a state of amnesia for months”. It wouldn’t be until about June 2022 that PlayThatBoiZay would be able to return to his “normal” life. He was an opener for fellow Loma Vista Recordings label mate Denzel Curry when he was touring Melt My Eyez See Your Future. Also during that slow reintegration period, PlayThatBoiZay would go back to work on the album that now sits in front of us this weekend, VIP.

Knowing that, it’s clear that he’s been through a lot just to get to this point, physically and mentally. It’s why Zay wrote on IG recently, “I been through so much and I’ve never let my problems define me. I always put myself first. That’s what ‘VIP’ is about. It’s the acknowledgement that your existence is important and putting yourself first without anyone’s approval”. That valid “selfishness” is very prevalent all over the trim 14-track, 32-minute offering both in the performance and instrumental department. The mix of industrial, trap metal, rage, and touch of horrorcore are something that he’s been doing for years now.

There are going to be some who say that he’s ripping off JPEGMAFIA and Denzel Curry to some extent. We would argue he’s utilizing his mentors’ advice to make something that is still his own. It sort of plays Mischievous South but somehow even dirtier and more aggressive. Like Zay said, “I’ve never let my problems define me”. While he was dealing with a lot, he used all of this time to push through, which allowed him to create his best work yet.

2 Chainz’s Son Halo Asks Latto About Ice Spice Beef To Hilarious Results

by

2 Chainz’s young son Halo recently “rizzed up” Latto and got her number, but that doesn’t mean she’s safe from his tough questions. Moreover, she was recently a guest on the father and son duo’s Me & Halo podcast, and the eight-year-old didn’t hold back in the interviewer’s seat. “Um, is it true you got beef with Ice Spice?” “Oh my God, here we go,” the Atlanta femcee remarked. “Halo, what in the world?!” his father asked incredulously, albeit with a smile on his face. Whether they scripted this for engagement or not, she gave a pretty diplomatic answer concerning this light rap feud.

“Let me tell you something, Halo,” Latto answered. “I don’t got a problem with nobody ’cause beef is a different thing, you feel me? That’s a whole different type of conversation. I ain’t got no beef with nobody, I don’t got a problem with nobody for real. *laughs* I ain’t got no problem with nobody for real, for real, it ain’t like that.” 2 Chainz joked about Halo being “messy” on a show about love and asked where he even got that information from. Check out the full episode and the full interaction about the alleged Ice Spice beef by clicking the “Via” link down below.

Well, it’s likely that Halo might have spotted Latto’s own words on Ice Spice. “If I was to do [a battle], it would have to be with somebody I feel like I’ma go tit for tat with,” she expressed in a recent Billboard interview when asked about the feud. “I really don’t mean it as shade. Would she even want to do that? I feel like she’s doing her in her lane. It’s two different types of vibes. I don’t even think she gives me like, ‘Oh, she wants to engage in an actual rap beef.’ Everybody gon’ take their lil jabs in the music, and it’s not even that serious to me. I feel like you should do that. Continue to! But as far as actual whole diss records to each other, I don’t think she would even want to do that. Would it even make sense?”

Meanwhile, here’s what Ice Spice had to say about Latto during an interview of her own. “I feel like if we ever spoke and I asked her ‘What’s the issue?’” she told Rolling Stone. “It’d be like a blank stare. It’d really be no issue whatsoever. Especially from me. I can understand a friendly competition. But I just feel like at this point it’s a joke that she’s just dragged out. And it’s just not even funny. Like, bro, ‘Think U the S**t’ is from January. You’re going to post a piece of s**t cake to announce something that’s good news for you? But it is kind of a compliment because you’re taking something that’s supposed to be a fun moment for you and you’re making it about me … again.”

Momma Dee Addresses Erica Dixon & Lil Scrappy Pregnancy Rumors

by

Fans have been spreading rumors of a potential reunion between Lil Scrappy and his ex Erica Dixon for months now. This was only compounded when Dixon announced that she was pregnant in a trailer for Love & Hip Hop Atlanta last month. Of course, this prompted speculation that the child was Scrappy’s. According to Dixon, however, she was simply joking with Momma Dee and isn’t pregnant at all. She clarified this shortly after the trailer was released, but it appears that not everyone got the memo.

During a recent Instagram Live, Momma Dee decided to clear things up once and for all. In a clip, she explains that Dixon was joking, but the trailer was simply cut to make it look like she was serious. She added that just seconds later, Dixon made it clear that it was all a prank.

Erica Dixon isn’t the only one of Scrappy’s exes sparking reunion rumors these days, however. Last month, he was spotted at a club alongside Bambi, which left social media users suspicious. It seems that they’re nothing more than co-parents at this point, though they’ve put conflicts of the past behind them. A few weeks ago, Bambi even showed her appreciation for Scrappy by sending him a bouquet and a heartfelt message.

“In my life that I’ve lived sacrificing for my family and my kids you never really hear or get gifts for being a good person, husband or father,” he captioned a clip of the flowers. “But yesterday I received these flowers on my front porch out of nowhere, and I seen a familiar name on it.” What do you think of Momma Dee shutting down rumors that Erica Dixon could be expecting a child with Lil Scrappy? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Jay-Z Snags New Platinum Certifications For Some Of His Best Songs

by

Jay-Z’s plaques are as shiny as his luxury watches, and he’s got a couple more of those under his belt as of Friday (August 23). Moreover, the Recording Industry Association of America gave him some new platinum certifications for some of his biggest hits. However, only one of these Hov cuts was certified platinum for the first time in this instance, that being “I Just Wanna Love U (Give It 2 Me).” The other plaques here are additional multi-platinum certifications for some of his biggest hits ever that were already platinum, spanning from his early days all the way to his early-to-mid-2010s output.

Here’s the breakdown: “Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)” went double platinum and “Holy Grail” featuring Justin Timberlake went six times platinum. “99 Problems” and “No Church In The Wild” with Kanye West and featuring Frank Ocean and The-Dream are now triple platinum, whereas “Run This Town” with Ye and Rihanna is now six times platinum as well. It’s certainly due cause for Jay-Z to celebrate these days even as his legal issues with Dame Dash’s Reasonable Doubt shares continue to develop, albeit in his favor.

“I don’t expect anyone, just some average person, to come buy it,” Dame Dash said of his shares in this classic Jay-Z album. “Or a third of it, my third. I don’t wanna get sued again. I know, for some reason, nobody wants me to sell it. But I’m ready to just move on, do my thing. I had a lawsuit, I had a judgement, and I’m like, ‘Yo, that’s 800 grand. Go get it from over there. They not paying me neither!’ So, they went and did the work for me [to pay] that debt and I’ll be able to sell it. It all worked out for me. I’m sure there’s a little twist they put on things. I don’t know why – I do know why, but I don’t know why. I don’t know why about one thing, but I do know why about the other.

“They had some bum-a** board meeting and all of a sudden he gets first right of refusal,” Dame Dash said of Jay-Z. “I don’t really care. It don’t slow nothing down for me. Now I don’t know how deep homie’s pockets is. I’m curious if he’s gonna match that. I put an offer on the table, lemme see if he’ll match it. But it was from other people.”
