Kanye West Reveals Possible “Bully” Album Cover

Kanye West just kickstarted his new solo album rollout for Bully, and we still have no idea whether or not it will actually manifest. After all, we’ve been here before, and there have been plenty of scrapped Ye albums over the years that either never saw the light of day or became other LPs. However, it’s far too early to characterize Bully as such, especially when considering that the Chicago artist’s social media profile is more active than it was in recent years. He recently posted a possible cover art for the album on Instagram.

We know what you’re thinking: it’s not a square photo, how could it be artwork? Well, not only are Kanye West’s cover art ideas quite sporadic and ever-changing, but this wormhole-esque visual for his China concert is looking like a pretty solid iconographic marker for this new era. It’s like the gothic lettering or suspended stage for TLOP and its tour, or the Donda house. So we’ll see if its eventual cover art features this wormhole illusion. The China concerts also held a lot of other great moments, such as Ye singing “Only One” to the track’s inspiration, his daughter North.

Kanye West Promotes Bully

Of course, we’ll have to see whether this Bully era reckons with, addresses, or rectifies any of the recent controversies that have impacted Kanye West’s life. As unlikely as it seems, some fans still hope that he can set things right, at least partially given his previous choices. But other fans are just worried about the music, and they wonder whether this new album will bleed into VULTURES 3 or vice versa. Even though this Ty Dolla $ign collab series has been shoddy and unpredictable when it comes to releases, Ty says that it’s still happening.

Meanwhile, there are even more music rumors floating around, even though these last ones are years old at this point. Consequence recently brought up the previous rumor that Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar have about 40 unreleased collabs together, all produced by Madlib. That will probably never see the light of day, although we can’t rule anything Ye-related out.

Rihanna Jokingly Compares Being A Boy Mom To An Olympic Sport While Sharing Adorable RZA Clip

Rihanna jokingly compared being the mother of a boy to an Olympic sport in an adorable post featuring her son, RZA, on social media, on Friday. In the video, the 2-year-old acrobatically makes his way out of his playpen. Rihanna played the theme song for Mission Impossible in the background of the video. “Being a boy mom is an Olympic sport,” she wrote in the caption.

The comments section was flooded with laughing emojis from fans. “The way he walked by like nothing happened,” one user wrote. Another posted: “Rza meant he was getting that cup! Determined! Love it!”

Speaking with Interview magazine, earlier this year, Rihanna confirmed that she’d be open to having more kids with ASAP Rocky. “I don’t know what god wants, but I would go for more than two. I would try for my girl. But of course, if it’s another boy, it’s another boy,” she told the outlet. Regardless, Rihanna has also spoken about how much she enjoys being a boy mom. “It makes me feel really cool to be a boy mom,” she told E! News’ Francesca Amiker at a Fenty Beauty event in April. “Like I get to be as casual and busted as I want to, but it also forces me to embrace the epic things about being a woman, and a female and all my femininity. I embrace it so much more now, like I wear pink. I go between wearing jerseys and like, ‘I’m wearing a dress today! I’m the only one in this house who can do that right now.’”

Chrisean Rock Proves Commitment To Her “New Life” With Inspirational Message

Following an undoubtedly tough couple of months, Chrisean Rock appears more committed than ever to staying on a healthy path. Recently, the mother of one returned home from a short stint in prison and immediately reunited with her son Chrisean Jesus. She had been arrested over the summer while attending one of her son’s father Blueface’s court hearings. In an Instagram Live shortly after her release, she told supporters she was focused on her faith and being a good mom.

Now, Chrisean has taken to Instagram to share a lengthy and inspirational message with her followers. “Embracing a new life and walking in purity is a beautiful journey, one that reflects the transformative power of God’s love and grace,” she captioned a series of uplifting photos.

Chrisean Rock Is On A Spiritual Journey

“As you continue to shine brightly in your purity, remember that it’s a reflection of God’s work within you, drawing you closer to Him and to the life He has envisioned for you,” she continued. “Keep your heart and eyes fixed on Jesus, the source of your purity and strength, and let His light shine through you to illuminate the path for others. GODS PLAN AMEN.” This is far from the first fans have heard about Chrisean’s commitment to her new life, however.

The Baddies star also recently sat down with Pastor Jamal Bryant for an interview, during which she revealed how her first night in jail went. She explained that she was “at peace,” because she knew that eventually, she’d have to take care of her responsibilities. “I just asked God for that place to be a spiritual hospital because I felt like I was dragging the Holy Spirit everywhere I went,” she added. “Doing the most, and the Holy Spirit was grieving and I didn’t have the strength to pull away from things, people, places and things.” What do you think of Chrisean Rock sharing an inspirational message with her Instagram followers?

Playboi Carti Laughs At Adin Ross After Streamer Gets Mocked By Hitta J3

Playboi Carti is really keeping fans on their toes. The rapper spent years in silence. He rarely posted on social media, and never, ever released music. All that has changed in the last month. Playboi Carti has dropped two (!) singles, including a collab with The Weeknd. He’s regularly promoting his album on IG and Twitter. And he’s even taking time out of his day to make fun of Kick streamer Adin Ross. Ross has been making headlines as of late for beefing with L.A. artists, and Carti decided to get in on the fun.

The Adin Ross vs. L.A. saga started on September 26. The streamer called out a Kendrick Lamar affiliate for claiming he wasn’t welcome on the West Coast due to his friendship with Drake. Ross proceeded to deny these claims, and threatened to sue the alleged affiliate. Ross also posted a video in which he said he would have security physically assault him. The tension boiled over the following day. Hitta J3, an L.A. rapper who claims to be a Kendrick Lamar affiliate, mocked Adin Ross via Instagram Stories. He brought up the incident in which Playboi Carti went on Ross’ stream, then left after six minutes and proceeded to dip with $2 million of the streamer’s money.

Playboi Carti Had An Infamous Appearance On A Ross Stream

“No wonder Carti didn’t take your podcast serious,” Hitta J3 wrote. “You n**gas be kids with some fame & let it get to yall head Adin.” It was a pretty devastating diss. Playboi Carti’s involvement only made it hit harder. The rapper decided to repost Hitta’s post on his own IG timeline and included a laughing emoji. It clearly struck him as funny that Ross is still getting made fun for an incident that happened in February. It is pretty obvious that Playboi Carti doesn’t have a lot of respect for Ross as a tastemaker.

The rapper has mostly stayed out of the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar battle, and while he didn’t tip his hand either way, this dig against Ross is the closest we’ve seen to him picking a side. Playboi Carti wasn’t the only artist who dissed Adin Ross on Friday. Smac TDE went online and claimed that he was annoyed by Ross’ tough talk. He claimed to have been a fan of the streamer in the past, but vowed to mace and attack Adin Ross’ security if he ever saw him in L.A.

Jack Harlow Savagely Roasts Druski On IG After Rubi Rose Scandal

Jack Harlow and Druski are a great duo. They’ve teamed up for interviews, podcast appearances and pretty much everything else over the years. Their friendship is built on a mutual appreciation of roasting each other. Harlow has been quiet in recent months, but he decided to come out of hiding to absolutely dunk on his buddy via Instagram. Druski decided to do a little flexing on social media, and the rapper felt the need to come over the top rope with a hilarious, albeit savage comment.

Druski posted a couple photos of himself with the caption “Never needed no PR.” The comedian added a laughing emoji at the end of his boastful message, so it was obvious that he was in on the silliness of the whole thing. Jack Harlow really kicked it up a notch, though. He proceeded to pack three different jokes into one comment. “Or a stylist,” he wrote. “Or a trainer, or a nutritionist.” The rapper added the hashtags #INDEPENDENT and #SELFMADE, furthering the notion that Druski is not bragging about much. It’s a hilarious response, and one that was made in good fun, given the dynamic these two seemingly have.

Jack Harlow And Druski Have Been Friends For Years

Druski recently made headlines for less than stellar reasons. Rubi Rose, the model who seemingly dated Druski for a short time, claimed she was only with him for clout. “And for the record I never slept with that man,” she tweeted. “N**ga paid for PR. Not the p**sy.” Rose followed up her tweet clarifying that she had no hard feelings toward Druski. “He is funny and nice tho,” she claimed. “I only give it up if I’m in love, ion care how much money a n**ga got.” Regardless of the reasoning, the revelation did not look great on the part of Druski.

Regardless, Jack Harlow and Druski seem close as ever. The two celebs talked about their friendship during a profile with Complex Magazine. Harlow claimed that they share a similar perspective, which is something that allowed them to click right away. “We’re both in tune. [We] both are present,” he noted. “I We see the world the same way…. He notices things about me that are in a blind spot of myself.” Druski returned the compliment, claiming him and Jack Harlow are similarly ambitious. “We’re in two different lanes, but we’re doing the same transition,” he concluded.

Karrahbooo Claims That “Soulless People” Are Trying To Ruin Her Career

Karrahbooo can’t seem to catch a break. She made waves initially for her music, and her involvement with Concrete Boys. Since parting ways with the group, though, Karrahbooo’s brand has become social media controversy. She can’t seem to go more than a week or two without beefing with her former label boss, Lil Yachty. The rapper took to Instagram on September 27, though, and made ominous comments about the state of her career. She claimed that people high up on the food chain are silencing her.

The post appeared on Karrahbooo’s Instagram Story. DJ Akademiks managed to grab a screenshot of the rapper’s statement, and it doesn’t look/sound good. Karrahbooo flat out states that “soulless people” are in control of her career. “It never goes good,” she claimed. “These people will do anything to they can to hurt u and make you look crazy in the media.” The rapper doesn’t mention anybody by name, but she goes on to level more accusations at them. Karrahbooo believes the powers that be encourage fans to turn their backs on the artists they once loved when the artist becomes difficult.

Karrahbooo Suggests She’s A ‘Victim’ Of The Industry

“When these victims try and tell the truth they just end up receiving so much backlash,” she claimed. “No one believes them.” The most ominous aspect of the post, however, came towards the end. The rapper alluded to the fact that most “victims” don’t get to tell their story until years later, when their career is already ruined. She doesn’t directly correlate her situation with this scenario, but it’s not a stretch to make the connection yourself.

“Nobody ever says anything until ten years later, Karrahbooo alleged. “One person decides to speak up and then everyone else come [sic] forward then all of a sudden everyone cares and feels bad.” She does not want to become one of these people, however. As she notes in her closing statement, ten years and an outpouring of sympathy does not make up for a derailed career. “It’s too late then,” she asserted. It’s difficult to parse what Karrahbooo is a “victim” of, given that she has been vague about her experiences with Lil Yachty and Concrete Boys. Hopefully more information comes to light. And soon.

Cardi B Pops Off On ATL Jacob After Producer Allegedly Shades Her

An easy way to avoid social media warfare is to avoid Cardi B. The rapper is vicious, and she seemingly has the time to pull the card of anybody she thinks is throwing shade. Offset suffered the wrath of his baby mama on September 25. Two days later, it was ATL Jacob’s turn. The Atlanta producer posted a few choice lyrics from the Future song “Perkys Callin” on Twitter. Cardi B determined that he meant to throw shade at her, so she proceeded to call the producer out with some vicious comments.

Let’s start with the Future lyrics. “Perkys Callin” is on the rapper’s 2016 mixtape Purple Reign. It’s an absolute heater, for what it’s worth, with Southside on the beat. The lyrics that ATL Jacob decided to spotlight make reference to women who get exposed for acting messy in public. “These h*es always getting exposed,” Future raps. “Ain’t got home trainin.” ATL Jacob posted the lyrics in response to a tweet referencing the Cardi B and Offset situation. The tweet in question asked whether there was a double standard in place for cheating on one’s spouse. Cardi didn’t appreciate what she saw.

Cardi B Claims That She Never Cheated On Offset

The rapper decided to quote tweet ATL Jacob and put him on blast. She hurled every name she could think of at the producer, and threatened to have him beaten up. “P**sy a*s b*tch stop playing with me,” Cardi posted. “You a whole man and stop shading me when I don’t even know you.” The rapper then decided to up the ante and assure ATL Jacob that things could get violent if he kept subtweeting. “I got a n**ga for you to square up with tho,” she added. “If you really got an issue. Send your best b*tch.”

In a somewhat surprising move, Cardi decided to quote tweet her own quote tweet. For those keeping track at home, that’s four quote tweets stacked on top of each other. It’s a Russian nesting doll of petty at this point. We digress. Cardi B claimed that she was faithful to Offset for the entire seven years they were together. She pointed out that she was never linked to another man when she was married to the Migos rapper. She also asserted that she’s a “clean slate b*tch.” ATL Jacob’s tweet really got under her skin. At least she set the record straight.

Kanye West Reminisces On His Childhood In China With Throwback Picture

Kanye West is looking forward to his second VULTURES listening party in China with Ty Dolla $ign this Saturday (September 28), once again reminiscing on his childhood. Before their first go-around on September 15, Ye had posted a throwback picture of him as a kid sitting on the steps of Huang Shan (also known as the Yellow Mountain) with the caption “BACK.” For those unaware, he moved to Nanjing when he was ten years old to accompany his mother, who taught college courses as a Fulbright Scholar. On Friday (September 27), the Chicago artist posted yet another throwback pic of him on Instagram with the caption “BACK AGAIN.”

This time, the post features a young Kanye West with white Nikes standing near what seems to be an elevator. As such, considering how massive the first show in Haikou was – with over 40,000 fans in attendance – it seems like he’s ready for another spectacle. What’s more is that the VULTURES duo even premiered some new material that has fans thinking that Yeezy is back in album mode. These include the new track “Preacher Man” and a surprising remix of Vanessa Carlton’s “A Thousand Miles.”

Kanye West’s Latest Throwback Post

However, other new music rumors from years ago resurfaced thanks to a new Consequence interview with Bootleg Kev. The rapper claimed that Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar have a whole album’s worth of scrapped songs together produced by Madlib, a mystery that originally captivated us so long ago. “I just think it just needed to be structured,” Con told Kev. “It was there, it’s there, it’s crazy.” Given Ye’s many controversies and recent musical moves, this will probably never see the light of day. But fans can still dream…

Elsewhere, we still don’t know if Kanye West’s supposed next project will be VULTURES 3 (as Ty Dolla $ign promised) or something else entirely. Another collaborative effort, a solo album, a short EP… Who knows? What we do know is that he has a lot to handle and answer for in the public eye, a moment of possible retribution that probably missed its window. But we can never count Ye out of another culturally dominant moment, no matter if its context is for better or worse.

GloRilla Goes Off On Rod Wave For Dropping On The Same Day As Her

So far, it’s been an incredibly successful year for GloRilla. The Memphis rapper has topped the charts with various singles, taken part in several exciting collabs, toured with Megan Thee Stallion, and more. Now, she’s gearing up to drop her debut studio album, Glorious. She announced the project earlier this month, right before dropping its lead single, “HOLLON.”

Glorious is slated for release on October 11, and obviously, here supporters can’t wait. Unfortunately, however, it looks like she’ll have to share her big day with someone else. Yesterday, Rod Wave took to Instagram to announce that his upcoming sixth studio album Last Lap will also drop on the 11th of next month.

GloRilla Says She’s “Finna Tweak Out” Over Album Release Date

Glo caught wind of the announcement fairly quickly and rushed to his comments section to react. She made it clear that she doesn’t appreciate having to share the spotlight. “WHY DF WOULD YOU DROP ON MY DAY IM FINNA TWEAK OUT,” she wrote. This appears to be a joke, at least partially, but she’s got fans’ attention regardless. Several of them are replying to her comment and sharing their own take on the now-shared release date. While some can’t blame GloRilla for being annoyed, others argue that she has nothing to worry about since they have different fanbases.

“They got a different set of fans this shouldn’t matter,” one Instagram user claims. “Neither one of them are taking away from each others numbers anyway,” another writes. Hopefully, this will prove not to be an issue, and fans will be able to enjoy both at their own pace. What do you think of GloRilla calling out Rod Wave after he announced he’s dropping on the same day as her? Do you think she has anything to worry about here or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Cardi B Leaks NSFW Text Messages With Offset Amidst IG Meltdown

The back-and-forth keeps getting worse. Cardi B and Offset spent the entirety of Wednesday evening tearing each other down on social media. The rappers/former spouses laid into each other about their respective infidelities. Offset accused Cardi B of cheating on him while she was pregnant with his kid, while the latter accused him of being a hypocrite due to his own cheating. Cardi B went on multiple IG Live rants throughout the night. Then, she resorted to posting text messages on her timeline.

There’s some context needed for the text messages to really click. Cardi B dismissed Offset’s casual attitude towards her by claiming he texts her nonstop. She got specific with this claim. So specific, in fact, she detailed an instance in which she was tried to block Offset on Instagram. “Coming from the same one that had to DM me all weekend,” she wrote. “Crashing out because he was blocked.” This caused Offset to fire back. The Migos rapper claimed that he doesn’t want anything to do with her. He also stated that he already “won” the argument because Cardi B is his “bm,” or baby mama.

Cardi B Posted Sexually Explicit Screenshots

Cardi B didn’t like that, apparently. She decided to up the ante and post text messages between her and Offset. The dates aren’t given, but the exchange does appear to support Cardi’s side of the story. Offset asks the rapper whether she still wants him. “Not really,” Cardi says in response. Offset then states that he will leave her alone before wishing her a good night. A period of time passes, and Offset seemingly takes a more blunt approach. In a NSFW exchange, the Migos rapper appears to ask Cardi B if he can “j*ck off” while she’s on the phone.

Cardi posted the screenshot while mockingly quoting Offset’s earlier insult. “Everybody can see I don’t want you,” she wrote. “Face a*s boy please.” It’s difficult to imagine this Instagram confrontation lasting much longer. Cardi and Offset have shown that they’re willing to embarrass the other person in front of fans. That said, this is a new level of sharing or rather, over-sharing. Hopefully the co-parents decide to set their differences aside. At this point in the feud, neither Cardi nor Offset appear the victor.
