Justin Timberlake Postponed A Show Due To Injury And Fans Are Fuming

by

Justin Timberlake has seen brighter days. The critical reception to his last album, Everything I Thought It Was, was tepid. The sales? Well, less than he probably thought it would be. Timberlake’s current tour has been defined, however, by the DUI arrest that occurred in July. The fallout from the arrest, and the quote that the singer made about the arrest ruining the tour, added fuel to the fire when it came to him being roasted online. Unfortunately, the bad breaks have continued. Justin Timberlake canceled a show the day it was scheduled, and fans cannot believe it.

Justin Timberlake broke the news on Instagram. The message is vague as to what occurred behind the scenes, but it made it very clear that the singer was “disappointed” with the postponement. “I have an injury that is preventing me from performing,” Timberlake wrote. “I’m so disappointed to not see you all.” He made it clear that he was “working” to reschedule the show, which was going to be in Newark, New Jersey. The pop superstar promised to make it up to the fans. They did not seem to go for it.

Justin Timberlake Promised To Reschedule The Show

The details of Justin Timberlake’s injury have been kept under wraps. TMZ does report, however, that a doctor was present at the venue to examine the singer, and it’s believed that the injury was sustained to his ankle. This is not the first time that Timberlake has had to contend with knee and leg injuries. He was sidelined during the making of the film In Time back in 2011. The singer and sometimes actor was filming a scene in which he had to perform a stunt, and wound up hurting his calf. “Justin Timberlake sustained a muscle injury to his calf on the set,” Fox said in a statement. JT also broke his thumb when he was still in N*SYNC.

Fans have flooded with social media to complain about the timing of Justin Timberlake’s announcement. Many feel the singer should have made the announcement much earlier, since the show was set to begin mere hours before. Many lamented the fact that they were already dressed to go out. Or worse, already in line and waiting to get a good spot at the New Jersey venue. “30 minutes before doors?,” one furious fan noted. Another threw a lyric from one of JT’s biggest songs back in his face: “Cry me a river.” Check out some of the frustrated reactions below.

Angel Reese Makes Shocking Season-Ending Injury Announcement

by

Angel Reese’s season is officially over after suffering a wrist injury during the Chicago Sky’s win over the Los Angeles Sparks on Friday night. She made the shocking announcement on social media on Saturday night with a lengthy statement.

“What a year. I never would have imagined the last bucket of my rookie season would be a 3 but maybe that was God saying give them a taste of what they will be seeing more of in Year 2 lol,” Reese began. “Through it all, I have showed that I belong in this league even when no one else believed. All I have ever wanted was to come into the W and make an impact. I can confidently say I have done that and will strive to keep doing so. I’m filled with emotions right now that I have a season ending injury, but also filled with so much gratitude for what is next. Although this is God’s timing and not mine, I am finally able to give myself a physical and mental break. ‘God gives his hardest battles to his strongest soldiers.’”

Kid Cudi Can Officially Walk Again

by

Kid Cudi found himself in a whole lot of pain back in April when he injured his leg during a performance at Coachella. Overall, the footage of the accident was quite harrowing as the artist jumped off stage and twisted up his ankle. This subsequently led to a stay at the hospital where Cudi even had to get surgery. It was not a fun time for the artist, and he was pretty forthcoming about what he was going through. Not to mention, he even had to delay a tour.

However, throughout all of this hardship, Cudi has shown tremendous perseverance and determination. He has been rehabbing his leg for months, and after a few weeks of hardship, it seems like things are finally looking up for the artist. Below, you can see a video of the artist walking normally. While he still has some rehab to go through, it appears as though Cudi is feeling less pain and appears much happier than before.

by

Normani says she’s “frustrated and disappointed” about missing the BET Awards but had to cancel after injuring herself at rehearsals for her highly-anticipated performance at the ceremony on Sunday. She discussed her decision not to take the stage in a statement on her Instagram Story.

“I am more frustrated and disappointed than anyone believe me,” she began. “I wanted to get on here and give you guys an update letting you know that while in rehearsals for BET I had a really bad accident and injured myself. I am normally good for powering through under any circumstance but unfortunately due to my doctor’s orders, I am just not able to make this performance happen. I desperately wanted to give you my best on that stage but performing would delay my healing. I have been going through my process and doing my best to make sense of my feelings regarding this.

Tank Dell Wounded In Nightclub Mass Shooting

by

Tank Dell suffered a “minor wound” during a shooting in Sanford, Florida at Cabana Live early Sunday morning. The Houston Texans confirmed later in the day that the star wide receiver was shot by a teenage gunman who opened fire after an altercation. The shooter wounded 10 people during the incident. Dell made it out okay and has since left the hospital and is traveling back to Houston.

“[Dell] has been released from the hospital and he is in good spirits,” the Texans said in a statement on social media. “We are in contact with him and his family and will provide more updates when appropriate but ask that you please respect his privacy at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved in the incident.” No one in the shooting sustained life-threatening injuries.

ESPN reports that witnesses say someone pulled out a handgun and began firing toward a crowd of people after a fistfight broke out. A nearby security guard lunged at the shooter and disarmed him. Police have reportedly arrested a 16-year-old suspect whom they’ve taken to a juvenile detention center. They’re charging him with attempted homicide, firing a weapon in a public place, using a firearm during a felony, and illegal possession of a firearm by a minor.

Houston Texans Confirm Tank Dell Shooting

Dell is coming off of a stellar rookie campaign in which he recorded 709 yards and seven touchdowns before suffering a broken leg during a game against the Denver Broncos in early December. The Texans expect him to make a full recovery for next season. Be on the lookout for further updates on Tank Dell on HotNewHipHop.

Kid Cudi Breaks His Foot After Jumping Off Coachella Stage: Watch

by

Kid Cudi is an artist who is known for having some energetic concerts. After all, he is Mr. Rager, the man who influences artists like Travis Scott. However, there is no doubt that Cudi is getting a bit older, which means he isn’t as spry as he used to be. Unfortunately, this can sometimes result in some bad accidents. For instance, Cudi was at Coachella this past weekend, where he decided to try and jump off of the stage. As you can see in the video down below, this did not work out for the artist, as he injured himself in brutal fashion.

Once the artist hit the ground, he knew something was wrong and off. Cudi was writhing in pain, and the medical staff had to come and take him away. Of course, this cut his set short, and it led to lots of confusion among fans. These are the kinds of freak accidents that you hate to see, and fans were very concerned about his condition. Early this morning, Cudi came out and gave fans an update on what happened, and what his current condition is.

Chris Brown Must Pay Dancer $15K For Eye Injuries From Fake Blood On Music Video Set

by

Chris Brown is known to go big with his music videos, but evidently, that doesn’t come without a cost. Back in 2019, backup dancer Danielle Griffin filed a lawsuit against the R&B icon, claiming to have sustained injuries on the set of his “High End” video. Instead of addressing the lawsuit, he ignored it, and he’s now been ordered to pay up.

In her lawsuit, Griffin claims that while shooting the video in 2017, someone from the wardrobe department approached her with fake blood. She was hesitant to allow the substance to be poured over her without wearing eye protection. The dancer was quickly assured, however, that it wouldn’t do her any harm. Unfortunately, that didn’t end up being the case.

Dancer Claims Fake Blood Left Her In Need Of Medical Treatment

Griffin says that shortly after the shoot, she began to experience issues, and had to seek medical treatment. Around the time of her original filing, photos of Griffin’s eyes swollen and leaking pus began to circulate online. As a result of the incident, she was forced to stay inside to recover for months, costing her job opportunities and even forcing her to drop out of her master’s degree program. She also claims she wasn’t given any assistance amid her recovery. Now, Brown must pay her a nearly $15K default judgment for her medical expenses and other damages.

What do you think of Chris Brown being ordered to pay a backup dancer $15K for fake blood on the set of his music video? What about her sustaining eye injuries from the substance? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Playboi Carti Gets Nicked By Machete During Music Video Shoot For “KETAMINE”: Watch

by

It seems that DJ Akademiks was onto something the other day when he told Playboi Carti fans to “stay tuned.” While people did not want to believe it, the social media pundit wound up being right in a way. We did not get Music, but we did receive another new single. If you have not heard, Playboi Carti delivered “KETAMINE,” presumably the sixth taster from the long-awaited aforementioned record. Like a couple of the tracks already, this one was released on the opium_00pium Instagram account. The visuals are quite unique as well as the sonics, and during the video shoot for “KETAMINE,” Playboi Carti suffered an injury.

You can actually see it play out in the full music video. Or, if you want to skip to it, check out the shortened clip below provided by Kurrco, found by HipHopDX. In the rundown and dilapidated room is a random mattress. Carti jumps off of it and and leaps toward the half-naked guitarist that is performing alongside him.

However, hanging from the ceiling by an exposed lightbulb is a sharp machete. Carti wound up jumping right into it and you can see that he appears to be shaken up. It is unclear whether or not he meant to do that, but hopefully it is not too serious of an injury. If you have not already, you can check out “KETAMINE” and see for yourself if it is deserving of the hype it is getting.

What are your thoughts on Playboi Carti getting hurt during the filming for the “KETAMINE” music video? Are you enjoying the song so far? Where would you rank the single compared to the previous ones and why? When do you see him releasing the album? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Trae Young To Miss At Least 4 Weeks Following Finger Surgery

by

Trae Young will miss at least the next four weeks while recovering from a torn ligament in his left pinkie finger. The Hawks announced that the All-Star point guard will undergo surgery at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York on Tuesday. After the four weeks, he will be re-evaluated. He suffered the injury during Friday’s loss to Toronto.

“You feel awful for Trae more than anything,” Hawks coach Quin Snyder said as noted by ESPN. “It is going to be a challenge for him not to be out there.” The absence comes as several key players for the Hawks have gotten hurt. “You have to adapt,” Snyder added. “That happened when we lost Jalen [Johnson]. We have to have minutes from Kobe [Bufkin] and Patty [Mills] and we obviously know what (Dejounte Murray) can do. I don’t want to wallow in anything.”

Trae Young Participates In The All-Star Game

INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA – FEBRUARY 18: Trae Young #11 of the Atlanta Hawks and Eastern Conference All-Stars shoots the ball against the Western Conference All-Stars in the second quarter during the 2024 NBA All-Star Game at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on February 18, 2024, in Indianapolis, Indiana. (Photo by Stacy Revere/Getty Images)

Atlanta is currently competing for a spot in the play-in games in the Eastern Conference as the regular season enters its second half. Young begins his recovery period while leading the team with 26.4 points and 10.8 assists per game. Snyder says the lineup will be “fluid” in his absence. “This will be fluid. If Boji starts, we lose his punch off the bench,” the coach said. “Do you want him stabilizing the second unit? There’s a lot of things that go into it. We will approach it that way.”

Anthony Anderson Hospitalized After On-Set Action Injury

by

Anthony Anderson has a bone to pick with a chair now following his recent hospitalization for an on-set injury while filming the action movie G20. Moreover, he got many scans and X-rays for the accident that occurred during a particularly hectic fight scene on the Cape Town, South Africa set. “I spent the night in the emergency room,” the entertainment figure and stand-up comic captioned an Instagram post of him on a gurney on Thursday (February 1). “Movie set fight gone wrong. Me against two goons and a chair! Guess who didn’t win! Who needs a stuntman? Me that’s who! I’m not as young as I used to be!”

Fortunately, it seems like Anthony Anderson recovered quickly, as he returned to the social media platform to swear revenge on his new enemy: a chair. “This is the chair that whooped my a** last night!” the storyteller wrote alongside a picture of the furniture. “Something about it is menacing! It sucker punched me in the kidneys and back with no mercy! When I got on set today it was grinning at me! Little does he know I got something for that a**! He gone learn today!”

Anthony Anderson’s Most Recent Instagram Post Addressing Injury

“CT scan and X-rays showed nothing fractured or broken in my back just a deep contusion,” Anthony Anderson had assured in his previous gurney-bound IG post. “That chair will never be the same though! Bloodied and bowed but never broken!” As such, it’s at least heartening to hear that things went smoothly for him, as we’re sure that those injuries on an action set can be difficult to deal with. We’re sure that, slowly but surely, the Black-ish star will go back to relaying hilarious stories about co-stars and fellow celebrities like Tracee Ellis Ross as if nothing happened.

Meanwhile, that perseverance to entertain and stay happy amid all that is a true testament. It also reminded us that he has some great things on the way which we should all be excited for. We wonder if previous takes on Ye as president would still hold up today in a post-recovery stand-up set. To find out, log back into HNHH for more news on Anthony Anderson.
