GloRilla Denies Faking Pregnancy As Fans Doubt Baby Bump Reveal

by

It’s been a busy few weeks for GloRilla. Earlier this month, the Memphis rapper unleashed her highly anticipated debut album Glorious, which arrived jam-packed with exciting features. She teamed up with Megan Thee Stallion, Latto, Sexyy Red, and more. She even got yet another shoutout from Rihanna recently, who admitted that she’d choose Glo to record a Savage X Fenty theme song if she decided it needed one. Yesterday, she then proceeded to hop on Instagram to share some photos of herself sporting a massive baby bump.

Needless to say, her followers were shocked. Some were taken aback simply because she appeared to have a perfectly flat tummy with abs and all just a couple of weeks ago. Others pointed out the fact that she just revealed that she doesn’t want to carry any children during a conversation with Charlamagne Tha God on Out of Context.

GloRilla Questions Why She’d Be Dressing Up For Halloween This Early

“I do want to have kids, but not my own kids,” she explained. “I want to do a surrogate… want somebody else to have my baby. To have my DNA, but I don’t want to have it.” Obviously, this whole situation has raised a lot of questions, and most social media users are convinced that Glo is just trolling. She insists that she isn’t, however, and even took to Twitter/X today to defend herself.

Apparently, some fans have suspected that Glo’s pregnant belly was part of a Halloween costume, as the holiday is a only few days away. She says that doesn’t make sense, however, since it’s still early. “Why would I be wearing a Halloween outfit dis early? Be fr,” she asked. What do you think of GloRilla sharing photos of herself with a baby bump yesterday? What about her denying rumors that it’s fake? Do you think she’s trolling or not?

Lil Tay Namedrops Halsey While Erupting On Haters For Saying Her Heart Issue Was A Hoax

by

Lil Tay has been in the public eye ever since she was a little kid. Overall, her time on the internet has been nothing short of controversial, as many were/are of the opinion that she was/is just a clout chaser of sorts. However, she’s only fed off the criticism and is now looking to forge a path in the music industry as well. Unfortunately, she the teenager has not had the easiest start, as she was going through someone faking her and her brother’s death around this time last year. Then, just a few weeks ago, she was diagnosed with a heart tumor, which required ICU attention. She seems to be bouncing back well, as she just released her second single, “Growing Up.”

However, even though it was an emotional record for her to write –it was partially inspired by her recent health scare– people online are tearing into everything surrounding it. They feel that the track and heart problem are all attempts at bringing more attention to Tay. The multi-media personality decided to address it in a heated rant on her social media. She mentioned how other artists like Halsey, for example, can do the same thing and be praised for it.

Lil Tay Goes Off

“So Halsey can get cancer (actually lupus and a T-cell disorder) and drop a single the exact same day she announces her cancer and its bold”, she began. “But I’ve been gone for a f***ing year ’cause I’ve been dealing with a lot of s***… And suddenly I’m pulling a PR stunt? Even though I’m dropping my song weeks later? Doesn’t make any f***ing sense. You haters are literally being insensitive and slow on purpose.” But despite how angry she is, Lil Tay isn’t going to let it get to her and she’s going to promote her new song a lot.

What are your thoughts on Lil Tay putting haters on blast for claiming her health scare was a PR stunt? Do you think she makes a sound argument against their comments?

by

Social media can be a place for connection and opportunity, but unfortunately, it’s also a way for nasty rumors to spread like wildfire. Recently, for example, one blog falsely reported that YFN Lucci passed away. This is not true, TMZ Hip Hop confirmed today. Apparently, the outlet spoke with his attorney Drew Findling, who was able to verify that Lucci is alive and well.

The outlet also points a finger at the fans who shared the false report without any evidence it was real. Needless to say, this is usually a bad idea, particularly when it comes to something as serious as someone’s life.

While YFN Lucci is very much alive, he’s behind bars at the time of writing. The rapper has been vying for early release for months now, most recently getting a co-sign from Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis in July. “The state does not object to the defendant, Rayshawn Bennett being released,” she wrote at the time. Her letter arrived months after Lucci was handed a 20-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to violating the Street Gang and Terrorism Prevention Act. Despite the hefty sentence, he could be home as soon as January of next year.

This summer, footage of the 2020 shooting he’s accused of being involved in surfaced online. In the footage, obtained by WSB-TV, a man can be seen getting shot by someone in a moving vehicle and pushed into the street by other passengers. Lucci is accused of being the driver, though this is unconfirmed. What do you think of YFN Lucci that he’s alive and well amid rumors that he passed away?

Drake Tomb Hoax Gets Fans Pressed Over His Fake Requests

by

Drake’s the type of person to make a lavish tomb for himself at 37 years old… said the comedian coming up with skit ideas. Moreover, Graeme Barrett recently uploaded a humorous hoax that spoofed the construction of a tomb for the 6ix God in his home city of Toronto on Wednesday (January 10). “It’s got everything Drake requested for the afterlife,” Barrett said as the “site supervisor” during the fake broadcast news report. “So there’s rooms filled with Patron, there’s room for 21 Savage, and there’s also a fully functioning OVO store.” Furthermore, the most streamed rapper of 2023 is living better than most of us even in the afterlife.

Of course, this was all just a big joke, but some fans still made fun of these requests and of this construction as if it was really happening. This was made clear when Barrett joked that “an old lady cursed all the items, so if someone does steal something, for the rest of their life, they will be followed home by the owl man.” Also, he said that the only sealed item in this tomb is a pirated copy of Stranger Things. It seems like the comedian did his research and still thinks there’s some mileage in the Drake and Millie Bobby Brown rumors.

Fake “Drake Tomb” News Report: Watch

Meanwhile, this is what some fans had to say about this whole parody. “The strangers things dvd joke is elite,” one user commented under the video above, referencing A$AP Rocky’s possible opponent’s alleged proximity to Bobby Brown. “Drake’s the type of guy who says ‘hehe you’ve got company’ before appearing as an ectoplasm for those trying to pillage his tomb,” another wrote. “The elites actually worship an owl God, s**ts wild,” one conspiratorial follower expressed, whereas another chimed in with: “Hot line bling played on repeat when your trapped inside.”

As for what the OVO mogul has in store in 2024, he’s kept things pretty tight-lipped so far. Now that Jack Harlow tied for one of his Billboard records, we’ll see if any releases this year cause an advantage. However, that seems unlikely, as he will probably enjoy the year and 2023’s success. For more news and the latest updates on Drake, come back to HNHH.

Ice Spice Chain Wasn’t Stolen, Hoax Was A TikTok Joke

by

Social media users will do anything to get quick clicks, even if that means pretending to commit a crime for the sake of views. Fans recently expressed concern after a TikTok of a man claiming to have stolen Ice Spice’s chain went viral on Wednesday (March 29), but it seems like that video is reportedly just a hoax and a way to stir up fake engagement. Moreover, the video consists of two men, one of which holds up a chain of the word “Queen” and claims it’s the “Munch” hitmaker’s.

While many slammed the alleged perpetrators in the comments, a lot of people also said that it was clearly a joke. Apparently, some took it a little more seriously than others. Still, as one of the biggest artists right now, it’s understandable that so many came to her defense swiftly. At the end of the day, it seemed like two guys making a targeted video in jest, as much as people blasted them for stealing a woman’s jewelry. After all, they laugh while imitating her “Boy’s a liar Pt. 2” flow at the end, so hopefully they mean this more in jest than to get a reaction from her.

Stolen Ice Spice Chain On TikTok Is Fake

Speaking of which, the iHeart Radio Awards presenter hasn’t reacted or posted about the fake chain snatching as of writing this article. However, it’s fair to say she was pretty unfazed by it in the first place. According to TMZ, a source close to Ice Spice claimed that she never owned the allegedly stolen “Queen” chain in the first place. That’s more of a Nicki Minaj term, and the 23-year-old’s signature chain she wore during her rise actually reads “Isis,” her birth name.

Meanwhile, Ice Spice also dominates TikTok to begin with. No matter how hard people might try to take advantage of her name, nothing will be as big as her own creations and influence on the platform. Whether it’s her music playing everywhere or clips of her hanging out with North West and Kim Kardashian, she’s there for a good time, not a fake one. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest viral TikTok moments surrounding Ice Spice and for more updates on the superstar.

Jussie Smollett Appeals 150-Day Jail Sentence

by

On March 2022, actor-musician Jussie Smollett was sentenced to 150 days in jail for staging a hate crime against himself in 2019. The case itself began in January that year when Smollett reported to Chicago police he’d been attacked by two men. He alleged they shouted racist and homophobic slurs, poured bleach on him, and put a noose around his neck. As the investigation progressed, however, inconsistencies in Smollett’s story began to emerge. This led police to conclude he had staged the hate attack with the two men.

Now one year following his admission of guilt, Smollett’s legal team has officially filed to appeal his sentence. Smollett’s legal team argues the sentence is too harsh, and that he should have been given probation instead. They also contend there were errors made during the trial, including the exclusion of certain evidence. In addition, they mention admission of testimony from the two brothers who allegedly helped him. The appeal is expected to be a lengthy process, and it is unclear how long it will take for a decision to be made. In the meantime, he will remain free on bail. Jussie served six days out of the sentence last year before he was released.

Jussie Smollett’s Appeals Stems From His 2019 Hate Crime Hoax

CHICAGO, ILLINOIS – MARCH 10: Actor Jussie Smollett listens as his grandmother Molly testifies at his sentencing hearing on March 10, 2022 in Chicago, Illinois. Jussie Smollett was found guilty late last year of lying to police about a hate crime after he reported to police that two masked men physically attacked him, yelling racist and anti-gay remarks near his Chicago home in 2019. He was sentenced to 150 days in jail, 30 months probation, ordered to pay $120,000 restitution to the city of Chicago and fined $25,000. (Photo by Brian Cassella-Pool/Getty Images)

The former Empire star was formally convicted of the hoax hate crime in December 2021. Jussie was initially charged with 16 felony counts relating to “false report of offense,” but the charges were later dropped. Later, a special prosecutor was appointed to investigate the handling of the case. They indicating Smollett again on six counts, and the jury found him guilty of five disorderly conduct charges. They dimissed the one count of making a false report to police. In the end, Jussie was sentenced to 150 days in jail and ordered to pay $30,000 in restitution to the City of Chicago.

The Smollett case has sparked a great deal of controversy, with some arguing he was unfairly targeted by the justice system. Others believe that he committed a serious crime and should be punished accordingly. Regardless of the appeal outcome, the case is likely to continue to be a debatable topic for some time. As of recent, a docuseries has been announced regarding the hoax, which will take a “deep dive into a scam.”
