Tory Lanez Grabs His First Feature For The Latest Prison Tapes Installment Of “580 Benz” & “Rodeo Drive”

by

Tory Lanez is doing a couple of firsts this time around for his weekly “Prison Tapes Playlist”. Usually, the Brampton, Ontario native is giving us Lost Tapes or tracks recorded behind bars. For week number eight, we are getting one of the latter, that being “580 Benz”, and a “Twitch Tapes”, which is “Rodeo Drive”. According to Genius, “Rodeo Drive” was recorded on a live stream on the popular platform back on May 8, 2022. These “Twich Tapes” aren’t anything new necessarily, however, this is the first of its kind to see an official release. Also shaking things up a bit is the first cut we mentioned, “580 Benz”. Tory Lanez and his production team were able to coordinate a feature for this record.

That guest is HollywoodSos another Canadian rapper who appears to have some affiliation with Lanez’s independent label, One Umbrella Records. “First person I’m ever gonna feature on a prison tape is my older brother @itshollywoodsos☂☂☔☔”. He could just be talking about a friend, but if this is a family member, that’s a cool moment for Tory. However, after that part of the caption on his IG Story, Lanez posed a question to his fans. “Who else should I feature on these prison tapes?”. People were quick to give some suggestions on social media and a lot of them are previous collaborators. One user replies, “We need Chris Brown, Bryson Tiller, Trippie Redd, Yoko Gold, a boogie features🔥🔥”. What do you think? Be sure to leave your thoughts below and check out “580 Benz” and “Rodeo Drive” with the links.

Jennifer Lopez Hilariously Picks Between Diddy & Ben Affleck In Resurfaced Clip

by

The divorce between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck was written on the wall for many, but it still came as a shock to the believers. Moreover, so much ink spilled on social media over their dynamic, whether it was their public outings or the salacious details in some of her newer releases. Another talked-about part of J. Lo’s romantic life these days is her association with Diddy, which took disturbing new context after his various criminal lawsuits and accusations. But it turns out that she already compared the two during a resurfaced Big Boy interview, as she had a hilarious copout when asked to pick between them.

Furthermore, Big Boy asked Jennifer Lopez whether or not she’d save Diddy or Affleck from open water if she only had one space on her raft. “I’d let both of those motherf***ers drown!” she exclaimed amid raucous laughter from everyone in the room. Still, this doesn’t answer a lot of questions that fans have of the divorce or of her bond with the bad Boy mogul. For example, Suge Knight posited that her involvement in the Sean Combs tapes might have caused her split from the actor, which is a purely speculative theory.

Jennifer Lopez “Picks Between” Ben Affleck & Diddy

However, Jennifer Lopez also has some other alleged opps in the music industry, namely Mariah Carey. “Mariah is really excited to be getting back to Vegas and looking forward to proving she’s still at the top of the game when it comes to putting on a show and bringing in ticket sales,” an allegedly close source reportedly told In Touch. “She’s extra excited to show that she’s still got it after J. Lo had to go and cancel her concert tour. [She monitored this] very closely and took a lot of pleasure in seeing her fall on her face. She believes it’s karma biting her in the butt because she’s not as talented as she thinks and way too arrogant.”

Meanwhile, another alleged insider claimed that Ben Affleck wanted to divorce Jennifer Lopez because her fast lifestyle would bring him back to alcoholism. But apparently, she was the one who filed for the split most recently. As such, there is still a lot of murky water. We’ll see if any statements in the near future shed light on these relationships.

DaniLeigh’s DUI Hit-And-Run Arrest Footage Surfaces: “I’m A Singer!”

by

In May of last year, DaniLeigh was arrested near Miami Beach for a hit-and-run. Reportedly, she hit a 17-year-old victim who was riding a moped, leaving him with various injuries. She was charged with a DUI causing serious injury, as well as three additional charges. She pleaded no contest to two of the charges in February and was sentenced to five years probation. Her other two charges, leaving the scene of a crime and another DUI charge, will be dismissed if she completes her probation.

Now, bodycam footage of her arrest has surfaced online, revealing exactly what took place only moments after the hit-and-run. In it, she argues with an officer while being taken away in handcuffs. “I’m a singer, you can’t arrest me,” she explained. “Okay?” the officer responded, sounding unimpressed.

DaniLeigh Argues With Officer During Arrest

Obviously, this wasn’t very persuasive to the police, and she was taken to jail anyway. At another point in the footage, DaniLeigh is seen sitting on the curb as an officer reprimands her for laughing despite the seriousness of the situation. Interestingly enough, Quavo even popped up briefly at this point, though it’s unclear exactly why he was there. “Yeah that’s Quavo, the Migos,” she told one of the cops. “Those are my boys.”

Reportedly, DaniLeigh took a Breathalyzer, which proved that her blood alcohol content was almost twice the legal limit. Her alleged victim reportedly suffered a lacerated kidney and a fractured spine. Shortly after the incident, he filed a civil lawsuit against her. It’s still pending in Miami-Dade Civil Court at the time of writing. What do you think of footage of DaniLeigh’s 2023 DUI hit-and-run surfacing online? What about her trying to convince officers not to arrest her simply because she’s a singer? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

50 Cent Addresses “Cheap Deal “Backlash To His Shreveport Studio

by

50 Cent is one of the most prolific, accomplished, and versatile hip-hop moguls we have today. Sure, much of that infamy these days attributes itself to his scathing takedowns of another rap mogul, Diddy, but don’t let that distract you from his film and television empire. Moreover, Fif recently caught flack from fans who accused him of opening a G-Unit production studio in Shreveport, Louisiana only for it being a “cheap deal.” While speaking to KMJJ’s Anthony “Big Ant” Simmons, he laughed off this idea and explained not only why he made the decision, but why the logic behind this argument is a deeply flawed one. No matter what side you stand on, it seems like G-Unit is staying in Louisiana. Nevertheless, they did consider Houston, as well.

“[Houston] embraced me. When I got out there, they showed me a lot of love,” 50 Cent shared. “But Shreveport had the infrastructure already here. Even the tax incentive. I’m spending $20 million this year anyway in the same building that they saying was the cheap building. So find somebody else to spend the $20 million…They don’t have anyone who has enough production going on for them to just offset that.”

50 Cent Refutes Claims That He Picked Shreveport For A Production Studio Due To Being Cheap

Also, Simmons praised 50 Cent’s commitment to filming 80 percent of all his productions in Shreveport as part of this deal. As they both noted, this would “eject a lot more money” into the city on top of the hype concerning pretty much any 50 project. However, this isn’t all that was criticized when it comes to G-Unit’s Louisiana presence. The Queens superstar actually went back and forth with Hurricane Chris over critiques of his Humor & Harmony Weekend Festival in the city.

Meanwhile, 50 Cent does have some defenders out there when it comes to these criticisms, including Fredo Bang. These are just the consequences of having such a wide media reach. But we’ll see if any future moves inspire a similar gut reaction or if people appreciate these moves more. After all, we have to see what this Shreveport studio produces in order to fully speak on it, and we’re excited to see what’s coming next.

BREAKING: RFK Jr. Ends Bizarre Independent Campaign; Endorses Trump

by

Whelp, in an expected move Robert F. Kennedy Jr. just announced that he is suspending his 2024 presidential campaign. That means it’s a wrap. He’s running out of money so his weird independent run for POTUS is over. 

But get this, RFK, Jr. is now endorsing Republican nominee Donald Trump. Good for him. They are probably made for each other tbh.

Anyway, Kennedy, was polling at 4% in a recent Ipsos survey. The Federal Election Commission filings revealed that his campaign owed nearly $3.5 million while having just $3.9 million on hand. In other words his campaign was pretty much broke.

Ge this, in a virtual address on Friday, Kennedy explained his decision. He would remove his name from the ballot in about 10 key battleground states, saying, “where my presence would be a spoiler.” RFK he has already begun this process in states like Arizona and Pennsylvania.

Earlier in the week, speculation grew about Kennedy’s potential exit from the race grew after his running mate, Nicole Shanahan, mentioned that they were considering two options: staying in the race or “walking away right now and joining forces with Donald Trump.” 

Trump is on deck to hold a rally in Glendale, Arizona, shortly after Kennedy’s announcement, with his campaign hinting at a “special guest” appearance, leading to speculation that Kennedy might join him on stage. 

Trump actually praised Kennedy earlier this week as “a brilliant” and “very smart guy,” a hard shift from his earlier criticism in April, when he called Kennedy “far more liberal than anyone running as a Democrat.” 

So that means Kennedy kissed the ring, and Trump needs every vote he can get so now RFK Jr. is a good guy. Can’t make this stuff up. 

Well, there you have it. Trump has RFK Jr.’s support. Sounds like some highly entertaining rallies are on the horizon.

Netflix just dropped the first look and announced the premiere date for its upcoming thriller series, “The Madness”, starring Academy Award nominee Colman Domingo. 

Here’s what we know so far.

The eight-episode series, set to debut on November 28, 2024, promises a gripping and intense narrative centered around media pundit Muncie Daniels, played by Domingo.

In “The Madness”, Daniels stumbles upon a murder deep in the Poconos woods, launching him into a desperate fight for survival. As he struggles to uncover the truth and clear his name, Daniels must also reconnect with his estranged family and reevaluate the beliefs and ideals he once held dear.

“Everything about this conspiracy thriller excited me,” Domingo shared in an interview with Tudum. “It was a unique protagonist, one that I had never seen or experienced. Someone who has very centrist beliefs, and now they’re being thrust into the world to really hard-core believe in something and to reexamine the people that they believed were possible enemies. You realize you have more in common with them than you thought you had in the beginning.”

Behind the camera, the series is created by Stephen Belber and co-showrun by Belber and VJ Boyd. Clément Virgo directs and serves as an executive producer alongside Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping, and Kaitlin Dahill. The cast also includes Marsha Stephanie Blake, Gabrielle Graham, John Ortiz, Tamsin Topolski, and TJ Mixon.

Here’s the trailer:

Pras Backtracks on ‘Bar Mitzfa’ Track Claims Not a Jab at Lauryn Hill

by

Let’s clear some things up between Pras and Lauryn Hill. We know it’s not the Drake, K Dot beef you were all hoping for but we have to set the record straight. 

Pras just made sure we’re all on the same sheet of music. He claims he harbors no ill will towards his Fugees bandmate, Lauryn Hill, despite the recent cancellation of their U.S. reunion tour. However, he admits to feeling frustrated on behalf of their fans.

ICYMI, earlier this month, Lauryn Hill called off the highly anticipated Fugees’ U.S. tour dates, citing low ticket sales.

Get this, Hill attributed the disappointing sales to media outlets she claims exaggerated last year’s concert cancellations, creating what she described as a “climate” where fans were hesitant to buy tickets for the 2024 tour, which was scheduled to kick off this Friday.

Following the unfortunate cancellation, Pras released a new track titled “Bar Mitzfa,” where he seemed to vent his frustrations, rapping, “Don’t blame me, blame her, she made the mess/ Not another fucking penny, is what I told ‘Clef/ Trotting the globe with the bros, playing dominoes.”

Again, Pras set the record straight himself, saying, “I love Lauryn. She’s like a little sister; there’s no way we could ever have any beef.” He emphasized that his frustration is not with Hill personally, but rather stems from empathy for their fans. “Everyone’s frustration has been building up. This is not something that just happened overnight,” he explained. “My frustration was for the fans. They are paying their hard-earned money to see you.”

So the tension between Hill and Pras seems to be more about the genuine disappointment of their loyal fanbase rather than any personal conflict between the two artists.

Whelp, glad we cleared that up.

Kerry Washington, Tony Goldwyn ‘Scandal’ Stars Appear Together at DNC

The DNC had everybody pull up. Felt like Kendrick’s concert. Joking. 

Anyway, ”Olitz” fans were thrilled to see Kerry Washington and her “Scandal” co-star Tony Goldwyn reunite on stage at the 2024 Democratic National Convention in Chicago on Thursday night.

You may know, Kerry Washington, who famously portrayed crisis manager Olivia Pope in the Shonda Rhimes political drama, took the stage to rally support for Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris and encourage people to vote. Addressing the crowd, Washington said, “As I stand here, I know that there are folks on social media already saying ‘Go back to your TV show. Shut up and act.’ But I am not here tonight as an actor. I am here as a mother, as a daughter, as a proud union member.” Her words were met with enthusiastic applause.

She continued, “I am here as the granddaughter of immigrants, as a Black woman descended from enslaved people. I am here tonight because I am an American and because I am a voter and because we, the people, are stronger when all our voices are heard.”

After her speech, Tony Goldwyn, who played President Fitzgerald Grant III on “Scandal”, joined Washington on stage to take a selfie video with her and the excited crowd. Washington asked the crowd, “Are you ready for Kamala Harris to win?” to which they responded with a resounding “Yes.”

Of course, the reunion sparked nostalgia among fans, with one writing, “Let me go re-watch “Scandal” cause it’s giving NOSTALGIA,” and another saying, “Olitz on #TGIT? The country needs it! I would be even more grateful if the rest of the gladiators made an appearance…and Papa Pope.”

We hear the fans and we’re here for it.

Since “Scandal” ended, Washington and Goldwyn have remained close, often exchanging friendly jabs on social media and in interviews. Their on-screen relationship, known for its intensity and complexity, continues to resonate with fans.

Sounds like a great time at the DNC.

Cash Cobain Drops His Biggest Project Yet With “PLAY CASH COBAIN”

by

Cash Cobain has certainly built a reputable brand off of his sexy drill soundscape. You can pretty much say that he’s essentially the sole creator of this wave in hip-hop, as there are a few copycats out there trying to replicate what he does. However, it’s not nearly going to have the same impact. The Bronx/Jamaica, Queens native’s name has become so massive that no one will probably trump him. However, in our honest opinion, that, along with some okay sample flipping, is about all we can give to PLAY CASH COBAIN.

Unfortunately, the consistent aspect holding back drill as a whole is that it’s difficult to keep each instrumental from sounding the same. This subgenre is known for its specific drum and hi-hat pattern, and it can feel as if its copied and pasted to each song. Pair that with Cobain’s constant and sometimes over-reliant usage of samples, the 19-song tracklist became kind of bore pretty quickly. Additionally, when he raps, he uses the same sort of sleepy and warbly delivery on nearly every occasion. While we appreciate Cash Cobain’s knowledge and respect of past work’s, the repetitive nature is too much to overcome in the end.

Joe Budden Drags Playboi Carti In Response To “Complex” List

by

Earlier this month, Complex unveiled its list of the best rappers from Atlanta, which has since sparked a major debate. As expected, many readers disagreed with who made the list and where they were placed. Playboi Carti’s ranking in particular prompted a great deal of backlash, as he came in at No. 12, ahead of artists like Jermaine Dupri, Killer Mike, Gunna, and more.

B. Dot weighed in on his placement on Way Up With Angela Yee shortly after the list was published. He didn’t hold back in the slightest, slamming the rapper and arguing that he was placed far too high. “I can’t get jiggy with that,” he said at the time. “Have you ever heard Playboi Carti’s music? He raps in like Batman sound effects. He sucks. He’s terrible.”

Joe Budden Admits That He Thinks Playboi Carti Is “Horrible”

Of course, this sparked even more debate among social media users. While many think Playboi Carti can’t hold a candle to those placed below him, others insist that his influence is undeniable, and can understand why he came in at No. 12. During a recent episode of his podcast, Joe Budden decided to join the conversation, revealing that he agrees with B. Dot.

“B.Dot, I’m with you, Playboi Carti is horrible to me,” he admitted. His co-hosts agreed with him, even claiming that Playboi Carti shouldn’t have made the list at all. “Playboi Carti is on this list because it’s a Complex list, that’s it,” Budden added, suggesting that the outlet’s readership simply overlaps with the rapper’s fanbase. What do you think of Joe Budden’s reaction to Playboi Carti’s No. 12 spot on Complex‘s list of the best rappers from Atlanta? What about him calling the rapper “horrible”? Do you agree with him, or did he go too far? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
