Skinnyfromthe9 Claims He’s Homeless, Fans Believe Rapper Is Faking It

by

Skinnyfromthe9 is an artist who has been involved in a few altercations over the years. Furthermore, he has found himself at the forefront of feuds that have been dangerous. Overall, there have been times where he hasn’t exactly centered the music. Instead, it has been the antics around the music that have propelled him. Unfortunately, this has led to some people falling out of favor with him. There hasn’t been much momentum for him as of late, and it seems like a recent situation has had him fall on hard times.

In a post from No Jumper, it was revealed that Skinnyfromthe9 is currently homeless. He was seen at a shelter looking for food, and he was seeing some of the discourse about it play out on social media. However, he clapped back at the haters, stating that he is, indeed homeless. He took various videos of himself in which he can be seen walking the streets. Moreover, he claims to be cold and that it was actually his birthday. Overall, it seems like an extremely distressing situation to be in.

Skinnyfromthe9 Updates His Situation

Unfortunately for Skinnyfromthe9, fans in the No Jumper comments section were not feeling particularly empathetic. They claimed that he was faking it for attention. Additionally, some felt like he had on expensive chains and clothes that could be sold off for a better situation. “This is so fake and y’all believe these ppl,” one person wrote. “Bro dropped that chain then hit a smooth 180 around that tree…u ain’t slick,” said another. Clearly, some people are a bit wary of believing Skinny and his story.

If he is, indeed, homeless, then we wish him nothing but the best. If this is a ploy for attention, then it is a disgusting one.

Kanye West Abandons Yeezy HQ, Building Full Of Graffiti As Homeless Camp Outside: Report

by

Based on what Kim Kardashian had to say about her ex-husband’s living situation on a recent episode of her reality series, we’re guessing that Kanye West has only become more humble with age. The multi-talent will likely always carry himself with confidence thanks to the way his late mother, Donda, raised him, but after he and Kardashian went their separate ways, Ye has been spending plenty of time in hotels, or at the cozy apartment he rents. The socialite claims her kids prefer to spend their time in the rapper’s smaller space than at the massive family compound, leaving her notably confused.

It seems his family home isn’t the only space the Chicago-bred creative has left behind in this chapter of his life. According to The Sun, his Los Angeles Yeezy Headquarters now has graffiti on the outside walls. Meanwhile, local homeless people are now sleeping in their tents on the sidewalk nearby, though it’s unclear if they’re the ones responsible for the street art surfacing.

Kanye West’s Attention Remains Focused on Music as Yeezy HQ Sits Unused

Sources close to Ye tell the outlet that Yeezy HQ was mostly for “secret fashion events, the odd Sunday Service performance, and private movie nights.” It was always recognized as a “multi-purpose venue” rather than a store and was part of West’s attempt to relaunch his fashion brand with assistance from American Apparel founder Dov Charney. The 46-year-old continues to pay rent on the building, and some employees still make use of the space. For the most part, though, “unfinished wooden structures and debris” are all that lies inside.

Kanye West is the kind of creative who pours every ounce of energy he has into the task at hand. Because of this, it’s understandable that the father of four is putting his fashion endeavours on hold to focus on his highly anticipated album with Ty Dolla Sign. It seemed as though the project might’ve been cancelled after some mixed subliminal messages were detected on social media, however, the R&B star has since confirmed the joint LP is “coming real soon.” Read everything we know about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Lil Reese Donates To The Homeless Amid Water-Pouring Scandal

by

Recently, Lil Reese got himself into some trouble with fans for a clip he posted on his Instagram Story. In the clip, he films as a friend pours his drink onto a homeless man’s head. “Get his a*s, get his a*s,” one man is heard shouting. “Put that b*tch on his head, put that b*tch on his head. F*ck him!”

Social media users were outraged by the senseless act of cruelty, and Lil Reese has since owned up to his mistake. “I would like to apologize to my fans and everybody watching for recording and laughing while they were pouring water on the homeless man in the video,” he wrote today. “I do not condone or support that type of behavior in [any way].” He then went on to reveal plans to donate to the homeless to make up for the incident. “I will be giving away money to the homeless community as well as giving away food, clothes, and water,” he explained, “twice a month going forward.”

Lil Reese Hands Out Money In Chicago

Many social media users weren’t buying the apology, claiming that he instead owed one to the homeless man from the video. Others questioned whether or not he’d actually be donating to the homeless, calling for him to show proof. Now, Lil Reese has come through with the highly-requested proof that he’s helping his community. In a new clip, the Chicago-born performer is seen passing out money to those in need in his home city.

Unfortunately, It appears as though Lil Reese still can’t escape criticism. Various commenters suggest that he only chose to donate because of the backlash, and wouldn’t have otherwise. With that being said, he was still able to provide help to several people that appeared to appreciate it, which is what’s most important at this point. Keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Lil Reese.

Lil Reese Issues Apology After Friend Pours Water On Homeless Man

by

Earlier this week, Lil Reese shared a clip on his Instagram Story that managed to get social media users talking. In the clip, one his friends is seen pouring a drink on a homeless man’s head. Others in the group are also heard egging him on, including Lil Reese. “Get his a*s, get his a*s,” one of his crew members shouts. “Put that b*tch on his head, put that b*tch on his head. F*ck him!” From there, the unsuspecting man sits up on the sidewalk, telling them “Don’t do that, man! That ain’t right, man!”

Lil Reese was immediately hit with a great deal of backlash after posting the seemingly cruel act. Many thought it was messed up to pour the drink on the man, let alone post it for the world to see. Amid the backlash, he has now issued an apology, in which he claims that he doesn’t condone the behavior showcased in the video.

Lil Reese Says He Doesn’t Condone The Cruel Behavior

“I would like to apologize to my fans and everybody watching for recording and laughing while they were pouring water on the homeless man in the video,” his apology begins. “I do not condone or support that type of behavior in [any way].” Lil Reese goes on to say that he’ll be donating to charitable causes in order to make things right following the incident. “I will be giving away money to the homeless community as well as giving away food, clothes, and water twice a month going forward,” he claims.

Unfortunately, not a lot of social media users are buying his apology. Some think he should also apologize to the homeless man, claiming that he’s who he really owes it to. Others also want him to show proof that he’s donating to the homeless. Keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Lil Reese.

Tiffany Haddish Recalls Stealing Food From Weddings: “I Was Homeless & Hungry”

by

Tiffany Haddish says that she used to steal food from weddings back when she was “homeless and hungry.” The comedian recalled the tough period in her life during a recent interview with PEOPLE.

“I’ve crashed weddings before, given a speech and didn’t know anybody there,” Haddish admitted to the outlet. “That’s when I was homeless and hungry.” She elaborated: “I would have two or three drinks and then I would grab the microphone and be like, ‘I just want to say that you are the most beautiful couple.’ Everybody would be looking at me like, ‘Who is this black girl at our wedding?’”

From there, Haddish explained that her humble beginnings help keep her grounded as she’s grown into a celebrity. “I try my best not to hold onto too many emotions because I feel like when you hold onto all those emotions, they make you cr*zy and then you get delusional,” she said. “Sleep is the key. And don’t be afraid to go out in nature. Take your shoes off and walk in some grass.”

Haddish found her breakthrough into mainstream success with the release of the 2017 comedy film Girls Trip. In the movie, she stars alongside Regina Hall, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Queen Latifah. Her comments with PEOPLE aren’t the first time Haddish has reflected on her tough moments. In an Instagram post from 2019, she shared a picture of herself during a rough stretch.

“I look at this picture and want to cry tears of joy for this girl,” she captioned the photo of herself. “I remember that night. She was homeless, hungry, scared, and hurt. I promised her if she kept faith in God and herself, we will get to a place where we will be housed, overfed, less hurt and fear free.”

Homeless Person Seen Watching Lil Durk And J. Cole Collab In Their Tent

by

TikTok user @adv.with.eli shared a video earlier this week of himself walking down the street and stumbling upon a homeless person viewing the new Lil Durk and J. Cole video. The person was watching the “All My Life” music video on a projector screen in their tent. The TikTok has now gone viral, having almost half-a-million views on the app. Text in the video reads, “Bruh homeless people have projectors here, what the…” The user captioned the TikTok, “I have so many questions… #losangeles #homeless #hollywood.” Lil Durk also shared the video on Instagram. There were mixed reactions in the comments section. One user wrote “A vibe!!!” Another commented, “I don’t even have a projector.” “Its how were all going to live pretty soon with this collapsing economy,” a different user said.

Lil Durk released the song on May 12, along with the accompanying music video. The song was shared ahead of the release of his upcoming album, Almost Healed. The LP will be released on May 26. 21 Savage chimed in on the song recently, sharing his thoughts on J. Cole’s verse. “Cole just went so crazy on that verse wtf,” the rapper wrote on Twitter.

Durk also announced his “Sorry For The Drought” tour earlier this week. The tour will feature guests Kodak Black, NLE Choppa, and DD Osama. Beginning in July, the tour will feature dates across North America, kicking off in Tampa, FL. The tour closes in Phoenix, AZ in September.

Earlier this week, Durk shared his thoughts on lyrical rap in an interview with Spotify’s RapCaviar. Although he claimed that Cole’s verse on “All My Life” “went crazy,” he went on to admit that he’s not the biggest fan of lyrical rappers. He received some backlash for this on social media, with one commenter saying, “I like Dirk’s music but cmon bro. I don’t understand why my generation doesn’t the core of what hip hop is and what is used to stand for.” Durk went on to say that Cole “smoked [his] ass” in the song, giving a “shout out to J. Cole.”
