Lil Scrappy and Keyshia Cole are going at it online after the former questioned the latter’s relationship with Hunxho. After she heard that he was calling into question the authenticity of their bond and accusing their labels of pushing them together, she blasted him on Twitter. “And what hurts the most is SCRAPPY SAYING THAT S**T!” Cole expressed. “Naw nicca u get paid to (Fake a relationship) like U SAID. Like what are they even talking about. Tryna get clicks. Hopefully this helps.” Turns out that L&HH: Atlanta star didn’t respond with the same energy, instead trolling her by playing her song “Love” on Instagram Live.
“Lord have mercy, can we get a Grammy for this one?” Lil Scrappy remarked to the camera, given that Keyshia Cole actually lost the award for this song back in the day. However, there is a pretty ironic element to all of this discussion that a lot of folks have seemingly missed. Both Scrappy and Hunxho starred in Sexyy Red’s music video with Summer Walker for “I Might,” as the latter acted as Sexyy’s new boo and the former as her ex. As such, maybe they are closer than folks think and there’s actually some truth to this, but for the most part, it seems like folks are just going about the wrong way to react to an unexpected but still legit relationship.
Elsewhere, Scrappy is also dealing with Erica Dixon dating rumors, something that even their daughter Emani chimed into with a new TikTok post. In it, she asks her mom to dance or “go back to her baby daddy,” and then added the following caption to the video in question. “She not dancing hard enough yall… i think she going back,” Emani wrote, much to fans’ gossip-fueled amusement. It seems like Keyshia Cole would still have plenty of ammunition to fire back at him with if they chose to really air out each other’s flings.
Meanwhile, the hit song “Love” is still getting plenty of it today, including a recent cover of it from Puma Curry, Erykah Badu’s daughter. It’s an ironic song to soundtrack all this back and forth, though. We’ll see whether there is any more to talk about here in the near future. After all, Keyshia Cole and Scrappy don’t back down easy, and we all know that there’s a lot of beef in the air right now.
In the world of entertainment, rumors often swirl around celebrity relationships. Today, Keyshia Cole recently confirmed her dating status with Hunxho, and fans everywhere took notice. The confirmation came via a tweet from Cole herself, where she boldly declared, “Mine @hunxho,” leaving no room for questions. The dating rumors initially started when the pair were spotted leaving a club together in Atlanta. While there wasn’t extensive interaction between them captured in the video footage, fans noted a significant moment when they locked eyes. Moreover, this was a subtle yet telling glimpse into their connection.
As the night progressed, photos circulated the internet. Further solidifying their relationship status. Images of Cole and Hunxho leaving the club hand-in-hand was all over social media. Fans were quick to share their reactions, with many expressing surprise at the unexpected match and highlighting the notable age gap between the two artists. Now, with Keyshia Cole’s confirmation of the rumors, fans have more to say. “Idk I don’t like this for her it’s given auntie & nephew,” one fan said. With both artists working in the music industry, the two seem to share common interests.
For Cole, a seasoned R&B singer known for hits like “Love” and “Heaven Sent,” this relationship marks a new chapter in her personal life. Meanwhile, Hunxho, a rising star in the hip-hop scene, brings his own unique energy and style to the dynamic duo. While specific details surrounding the nature and duration of their relationship remain private, one thing is certain. Cole and Hunxho’s newfound romance has captured the attention of fans and media alike.
As news of their confirmed relationship continues to make waves, fans can’t help but wonder what the future holds for Keyshia Cole and Hunxho. Will they collaborate on music together? Will they share more glimpses into their personal lives on social media? Only time will tell. In the meantime, stay tuned to HNHH for more coverage.
The gossip train made a stop at the relationship rumor mill over the weekend with some new passengers in tow: Keyshia Cole and Hunxho. Moreover, the two were spotted going out at a nightclub together, and fans immediately started to draw connections and speculate. Of course, these narratives are unconfirmed at press time and this is the only “evidence” available to support them. In fact, it’s slightly dampened by the fact that this isn’t the rapper’s first time popping up in dating rumors. His appearance in a Sexyy Red video resulted in similar comments online, and that train seems no closer to reaching the station.
As for Keyshia Cole, she’s dealing with some drama between her and O.T. Genasis that, while resolved, resulted in some fallout. For those unaware, they previously feuded in 2019 and he claimed that he sold crack to her mother, who died in 2021 due to an accidental overdose. After O.T. once again apologized for the feud over a sample, directly to an onstage Cole as a guest, her sisters felt that the family deserved a deeper apology. However, she accepted it with open arms, and clarified that she also doesn’t have the right to tell her loved ones how to feel about it.
While Keyshia Cole got an apology at her show, Hunxho recently got a brand-new opportunity for a concert instead. To replace Chris Brown and Muni Long, Dreamville Fest announced that he and 50 Cent would fill in their sets, and at press time, the festival is still ongoing. It seems like everyone’s had a great time there with some amazing performances, and folks wonder whether this rumored new couple went to the club over this weekend. After all, maybe this is just an old clip that’s just now resurfacing.
Meanwhile, what do you think about these relationship rumors? Is the “Pretty Girls Don’t Cry” MC finding love, has Keyshia found a new partner, or will this pan out just like the Sexyy Red situation? Drop your thoughts on all this down in the comments section below. Also, stay up to date on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Keyshia Cole and Hunxho.
Last May, Hunxho visited Uproxx Sessionsto perform “True To My Religion.” Then the Atlanta-bred rapper was tapped to open on Lil Baby’s abbreviated It’s Only Us Tour. Now it’s time for Hunxho to embark on his first-ever headlining tour, The One Night Only Tour, as announced on Wednesday, March 6.
A press release revealed that the tour “capitalizes on the momentum” from Hunxho’s stand-alone, sold-out “One Night Only” concert at The Eastern in Atlanta last month, which Uproxx attended.
The press release also confirmed that a “special Spotify pre-sale goes live on Wednesday, March 6, at 12 p.m. EST, followed by promoter and venue presales on Thursday, March 7, at 12 p.m. EST. General on-sale commences on Friday, March 8, at 12 p.m. EST.” Find all ticketing information here.
Hunxho last released For Her last October, and the project became his first career Billboard 200 entry. In December, he dropped For Her (Deluxe), and most recently, Hunxho recruited fellow Atlantan Summer Walker for a remix of “Your Friends.”

With Lil Baby’s It’s Only Us Tour entering its final month, some fans are still wondering who the four opening acts are. As the original subheadliner, The Kid Laroi, dropped out before the tour began, and Lil Baby himself doesn’t take the stage until about 9:30 pm, it’s understandable that concertgoers might want to know more about the artists taking the stage before him. Here are the opening artists on Lil Baby’s It’s Only Us Tour.
Hunxho is another Atlanta trap artist who operates in the same vein as rap crooners like Future and Rich Homie Quan. He’s a prolific creator, releasing three projects in 2023 alone, and has begun gaining more prominence thanks to his featured appearance on Quavo’s new album, Rocket Power.
Gloss Up is a Memphis rapper who happens to be GloRilla’s best friend and Lil Baby’s labelmate on Quality Control. She’s shown up on tracks with the likes of Lakeyah and Sexyy Red, and has a growing following based on her relatable ratchet raps.
Rylo Rodriguez is an artist on Lil Baby’s 4 Pockets Full imprint, who gained a certain amount of online infamy with the goofy cover for his mixtape, GOAT In Human Form. The hilarity was amplified with the revelation that he didn’t even realize GOAT is an acronym for “Greatest Of All Time” until this year.
Finally, there’s GloRilla, whose hit song “FNF” made her one of hip-hop’s hottest it-girls last year. She signed with CMG and is currently working on her debut album, looking to build on her successful breakout with some more Dirty South favorite Memphis trap swings like “Lick Or Sum” with Moneybagg Yo.
June isn’t over yet, but already it’s been one of the busiest months in terms of hip-hop and crime. We’ve had our eye on the YSL/YFN RICO trials for months now. In addition, YNW Melly’s double murder proceedings have seen plenty of ups and downs. Elsewhere, Boosie Badazz, Quando Rondo, and Jacquees were put behind bars (only the second artist remains there – the other two have since bonded out). As if all of that weren’t enough chaos to take in, reports claim that Hunxho was arrested in Atlanta on Saturday (June 24) night.
Footage obtained by @newsmadeit on Instagram shows officers at Lyfe ATL nightclub, where a shooting took place during the producer’s celebration. In the clip, a group of police run swarm toward the scene of the crime. We also see people and various cars waiting outside to see what would happen next. A truck that was in the area at the time seems to have taken some bullets, and at least one person was hit though their condition remains unknown at this time
Moments later, it’s been said that Hunxho was arrested for alleged gun possession. Another video taken last night shows the “48 Laws of Power” artist being held down on the ground by an officer. “Why they lock him up?” a female voice asks from being the camera. “They said Hunxho had a gun in his hand,” another woman explained.
The news is particularly unfortunate considering it comes little more than a year after the 24-year-old beat RICO charges. “Been fighting this RICO for FOUR YEARS,” he wrote on his Instagram Story in May 2022. “Dis s**t don’t even feel real right now .”

Atlanta rapper Hunxho stops by UPROXX Sessions this week to deliver a heartfelt performance of his penitent song “True To My Religion.” The track, which appears on Hunxho’s March album 22, finds him lamenting his inability to stick to his principles due to his precarious circumstances. Reminiscing on his rough upbringing, Hunxho worries that he’ll be unable to remain true to his religion if he wants to make it out.
22 was released on a super-tight turnaround from Hunxho’s previous project, Humble As Ever, which he dropped just two months before, in January. Humble As Ever came out only six months after Xhosen, Hunxho’s 2022 mixtape named after his son. In an interview with Uproxx for that mixtape, Hunxho explained how he keeps up such a relentless pace.
“If I could, I would drop another tape this week,” he said. “I be putting some of the most recent sh*t on the tape, but while I’m putting the tape together, I’m still making the music. So, I might start something new and put something else on there… It’s important for me to keep making music.”

Two years ago, Atlanta rapper Hunxho (pronounced “huncho”) didn’t even have one full-length project to his name. Then, on the last day of July, he dropped his official debut project, Street Poet, following up with its sequel, Street Poet 2, just one year later. Since then, his pace has only increased. Instead of waiting another year to drop a new mixtape, he offered Street Poetry in March of this year. Then, perhaps unable to let another nine months go by, he followed up again with his latest mixtape Xhosen in the middle of June — this time, with the backing of 300 Entertainment, home of such street-certified stars as Megan Thee Stallion, Tee Grizzley, and Young Thug.
Named for his son, Xhosen is a polished project in the vein of fellow red clay-rooted rappers Future, Lil Baby, and Migos. Led by the driving, motivational single “Fight,” the nine-track project sees Hunxho boasting that he’s “Made It This Far” while predicting “Where I’m Going.” Meanwhile, on songs like “Heartless,” he details his early struggles and the sense of dogged persistence they’ve left him — the same hustler mentality that compels him to do whatever it takes to make good on the promises of “It’s Gone Be Alright.”
In a Zoom interview, Hunxho explains his relentless work ethic and hands-on approach to his prolific creative process, and acknowledges the adjustments he’s made over the past year as he learns the rap business and sees his newfound notoriety pay off.
Street Poetry came out in March, and Xhosen is out just three months later. Why did you want to do such a fast turnaround?
Because I love dropping music. I just want to drop, drop, drop. I feel like I got to put the music out and whatever they catch on to, they just going to catch on to. It ain’t on me, the way to choose what songs are going to be a hit. I’m here to make the music and be myself and drop the music and let the people choose what they want to choose. If I could, I would drop another tape this week. I can, but I’ll probably give it some time.
That actually kind of reminds me of Gucci Mane. Do you remember when he was dropping back to back to back? Or Lil Wayne when was dropping back to back to back. It’s a winning strategy, it can work for you.
Yo, for sure. I ain’t going to lie, I got so much music, I can not make music for three years and have enough music to drop, for real.
With such a short gap between the releases, how do you try to push yourself or evolve your sound between the albums?
I just stay locked in. Then I be putting some of the most recent sh*t on the tape, but while I’m putting the tape together, I’m still making the music. So, I might start something new and put something else on there.
So for you, it’s more important to continue making music, because every day you’re going to have something new. Right?
Yeah. It’s important for me to keep making music. But I just recently was trying to take a break from making music to work on everything else — like my performance and whatever else that got to do with music, instead of making it.
I love hearing that. I think that a lot of artists get so focused on doing the thing that they don’t think about how we’re going to present it to people. What kind of things have you done to get performance ready?
I really ain’t even started yet but I’m about to start. I’m going to get somebody who do stuff like that, who works with people on their performance. I got big shows coming up and I really ain’t did no big shows. I’ve mainly been doing club shows, so it’s different from a club and a big stage.
I know you can get a little burnt out or maybe run out of things to say when you produce so much music. How do you stay inspired?
I ain’t going to lie, I’m self-motivated. My motivation really come out of myself, sh*t I’ve been through, and where I came from. And I know where I want to be. I don’t never get comfortable. I’m a forever be hungry. I never want to make myself feel comfortable. I really want to be bigger and better.
So, let’s talk about Xhosen. I heard that it was inspired by your son?
Yeah, most definite.
Is this named after him?
Yeah, Xhosen. It’s just like that on his birth certificate.
That’s pretty tight. The substitute teachers are going to freak out though.
They’re going to mix his name all up.
What would you say is the main idea of Xhosen, the album? What do you want people to take away from it when they hear it?
I mean it’s not really no main idea. It’s just… I’m telling them my pain, my stories, my struggles. And then I want them to put it in and they can tell me what they get out of it.
If someone were to only listen to one song from Xhosen, which one would it be and why?
Probably “Heartless,” the first one on there. The energy is hard and it’s different. But I stay listening to old music. I like bringing the old to the new.
One of the things that struck me when I was doing the research for this, the video for “Fight” is heavily influenced by the Black Panthers. What’s your experience with that movement and what makes it relevant to what you’re doing musically on that song and today?
I mean, it wasn’t really that. It was really just me trying to push the concept of “Fight” by showing different fights.
Yeah. So like the fight for civil rights or the fight for liberation?
Yeah, yeah.
You know, I think that still holds up. What was the process of filming that video like?
I had come up with the idea and I had sat down with Marco Speed and explained it to him. And I just tell him, “I need you to bring it to life.” A video shoot came up and he told me to be there. It started at like eight o’clock. I was out there all day and I didn’t leave until five in the morning because we were shooting a lot.
Had you ever done a video on that level of production before?
Not where I was already set up. I never did a video like that. [Usually] I set it up myself. I did everything.
What’s the difference between having it done for you versus doing it for yourself?
I don’t really know. I be wanting to be editor. If I could’ve stayed editor too, I would have did it.
So you’re more of a hands-on type of artist?
Yeah, most definitely.
That’s good to hear. That probably explains why you came up in such a relatively short amount of time. What is the biggest difference between your life five years ago and your life now?
Five years ago? I ain’t going to lie. I wasn’t even really mainly focused on music five years ago. I was living in the street just focused on making me some money. I wasn’t really even rapping or doing… When I found out I could rap, I would put it out in a rap.
For someone who just started rapping professionally, you’re a lot more polished than I see with a lot of newer artists. How did you get so good so fast?
I just be dedicated. I really put my all into it. I be locked in. Any chance I was going to be in the studio, I would be in the studio. Whatever I got to do, shooting videos and everything. Every day try to do something that’s got something to do with me perfecting my craft.
Yeah. So, in your perfect world, if everything pans out 100% correctly, how would you like to have changed in the next five years? So if we talk again in 2027, and you’ve been rapping for 10 years, what do you want to see different?
I don’t know where I’m going to be. I just want everybody to be straight. That’s all I know. I just want everybody to be good.

Still hot off the release of his Street Poetry project, which dropped this past March, Atlanta rapper Hunxho has dropped a new video for “Fight.” In the video, directed by Hunxho embodies the power-fighting spirit of the Black Panthers, knocking out his opps as he fights them in a warehouse.
Over the past year, Hunxho (not to be confused with fellow ATL rapper Quavo, who also has adopted the Huncho nickname) has proven to be a promising act, garnering a huge amount of streams following his viral single, “Let’s Get It,” featuring fellow ATL rapper 21 Savage. Although Street Poetry was just released this past March, he is already gearing up to drop a new EP called Xhosen later this month.
In a recent interview with AllHipHop, Hunxho says that all though he’s achieved a considerable fan base, he plans to continue working as if he hasn’t blown up.
“Man, if I can sleep in the studio I will,” Hunxho said. “As long as I’m doing something that’s got to do with music, I feel good. I like moving a lot, I like doing a lot. I want to every day, wake up and do something that has to do with music. I like working. I don’t ever want to feel like I made it. I don’t care if I made it yet, I’ll always want to keep working.”
