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.”
