50 Cent Reacts To Vivica A. Fox’s “First Lady Of BMF” Movie: “What The F*ck Is This Man!”

by

It’s not unusual for 50 Cent to have a bone to pick with other figures in the entertainment industry, and it appears his latest target is his former girlfriend, Vivica A. Fox. The rapper has become well-known for bringing shows like BMF and Power to audiences at home, but he’s not so pleased to see his ex following in his footsteps with her forthcoming The First Lady of BMF: The Tonesa Welch Story movie on BET+. As HipHopDX notes, the news actually came out via Deadline earlier this month, the New Yorker is just late in sharing his thoughts on the project.

“This should say 263, not BMF, @southwest263,” the “I Get Money” hitmaker wrote on Instagram yesterday (March 30). “🤷🏽‍♂️ What the f*ck is this man! ☕🐸 Vivica ugh, so [you’re] not gonna ever leave me alone hun 👀?” he then asked, throwing obvious shade at the media personality. Of course, Fox wasn’t the only one to face 50’s wrath. Judge Mathis, who will be executive producing her film, was also a noteworthy part of the rapper’s caption.

Vivica A. Fox’s “BMF” Movie Gets Strong Reaction from 50 Cent

“And what the f*ck is Judge Mathis doing in this mix 😳? I’m done, I’m done with all you n*ggas LOL,” his post ended. Fans of Fif aren’t exactly finding his message surprising, seeing as he and Fox have publicly feuded on multiple occasions over the years. Just a few years ago, she called the multi-talent out for making “contentious comments about Black women” during a Young Money Radio interview. “He just has such f*ckboy tendencies, you know what I mean?” the 58-year-old said of her ex around that time. Despite what 50 Cent has to say, Fox seems eager to move forward with The First Lady of BMF movie.

From what we know, the project will “chart Welch’s rise from teen mom to drug dealer to earning her prestigious title from federal prosecutors,” as per Deadline. “Dreams and desires, craftiness and creativity, hustle and hard work, Welch tells a harrowing story about riches, remorse, personal responsibility, and redemption set amidst the lavishness and extreme violence of Detroit’s crack era and America’s ‘war on drugs,” a synopsis also notes. Let us know if you’ll be tuning into the movie on BET+ later this year in the comments, and check back tomorrow for more pop culture news updates.

Nicki Minaj Shows Off Another New Look

by

Nicki Minaj is one of the greatest artists of her generation. If you were to ask Tyga, he would tell you that she is the best female rapper of all time. Additionally, it is safe to say that Minaj sees herself that way as well. Overall, she has every right to feel that way. From her tremendous talent to her pop appeal, Nicki has done it all in the industry. At this stage in her career, she is still dropping some fantastic new songs, and the fans love her. Even now, they are begging for new music to drop sooner rather than later.

Moreover, on top of her music, Nicki Minaj is also seen as a pioneer when it comes to her looks. She has always called herself a Barbie, which is a name that extends to her fanbase. Overall, her aesthetic is a huge reason for her success. Even all these years later, she doesn’t mind making alterations to the formula. She has been coming through with some unique new looks as of late, and recently, she took to Instagram to showcase another one.

Nicki Minaj Continues To Shine

As you can see up above, Nicki provided numerous angles of herself wearing some bubble gum pink pants and a graphic top. However, the most striking part of the image is her long hair. Nicki Minaj stuns as the top of her hair starts out pink and then goes into a gradient formation that turns burgundy. This mixture of colors is reminiscent of Angelina Jolie’s character in Shark Tale. It is a truly gorgeous look that is receiving praise from her fans. Every single comment is a positive one, which is actually quite impressive for social media.

While Nicki Minaj continues to show off these new looks, fans continue to look forward to a potential new album. If there was ever a time for the legendary artist to drop something, it would be now. She has a lot of people paying attention right now, which means there is something to capitalize on. Not to mention, we would all love some new music for the summer.

Wale Is Not Answering Your FaceTime Calls

by

Don’t try to FaceTime Wale. Don’t even try to call him on the phone. The rapper has revealed that he refuses to answer calls due to his introverted nature. Wale, who is now 38 years old, says that he feels overwhelmed by the calls. It may seem like an insignificant comment, but it says a lot about how the cultural climate has shifted in terms of mental health and boundaries. For many, Wale likely included, there was a time when not answering a phone call or a text immediately was considered extremely rude. It didn’t matter if you were busy or overwhelmed. That’s just the way it was. Now, with mental health having become such a popular topic of conversation, it seems that many find it easier to express themselves freely. Wale is just one of many artists that have begun openly speaking about their mental health and setting boundaries publicly.

Since the advent of the age of constant communication and instant gratification, it seems pretty clear that mental health has taken a sharp decline for many, many people. Having to always be “on” affects everyone, celebrity or not. This is largely in part due to things like social media and cell phones, which have allowed us to be watched and communicated with at all times. In the past, you may have been able to take some time to think about what you wanted to say before you said it. Now, if you don’t reply to a message or speak out on an issue quickly enough, you’re maligned for it. FaceTime is yet another avenue of communication that expects you to be ready to speak face-to-face at all times. Luckily, the conversation is changing, and more and more people are speaking out on the effects of these technological advancements on mental health.

The Mental Health Movement

Wale's Instagram Story

On his Instagram stories, Wale made it clear that he has no intention of taking FaceTime calls anymore. It was a refreshingly candid post that represents what a large majority of people have been feeling in regard to these types of communication. In the story, which he signed off as “overwhelmed introvert”, Wale said, “Don’t ever FaceTime me. Please and thank u. My phone is broke and even if it’s new it’s broke… FaceTime don’t work. Thank you.”

Wale is not the only celebrity that’s making headlines for speaking out on his mental health and boundaries this week. Andre Drummond, player for the Chicago Bulls, has also announced that he is taking a break from all social media and changing his number due to mental health issues. Recently, many others have done the same. The Game, Selena Gomez, Killer Mike, and SZA are just a few of the big names that have spoken publicly about mental health. With any luck, the movement will be taken more seriously as more people in the public eye continue to talk about it. What are your thoughts on the movement to prioritize mental health? Sound off in the comments below.

50 Cent Gasses Drake’s New Music, Says Canadian Has “Hard Shit” Coming Soon

by

New music from Drake has been coming more frequently than ever before, and from the sounds of things, he’s not quite done with his rollout just yet. As he and 21 Savage prepare to head out on their It’s All A Blur tour in a few month’s time, the father of one has been teasing a new track on Instagram – one which 50 Cent is seemingly already co-signing. In the unreleased snippet, fans hear Champagne Papi sing about the qualities he’s looking for in a woman after so many years spent in the spotlight.

“I need someone to be patient with me / Someone to get money, would not take it from me,” his voice croons on the BYNX-produced beat. “They don’t even need to be as famous as me / I don’t think I meet ’em at the places I be / But deep down I think about you all day, mami.” While the untitled song has yet to hit DSPs, fans all across the internet are already begging Drake to share the fire single in time for summer.

50 Cent Co-Signs Drake’s Upcoming Releases

According to 50 Cent, that may not be the only heat we hear from his Canadian friend in the coming months. As HipHopDX notes, the New Yorker jumped in the comment section of a @gunitbrands post that sees Drizzy wearing a G-Unit shirt to give the Scorpion artist his flowers. “I f*ck wit Drake,” Fif confirmed. “He getting ready to come with some hard shit. You know the vibes n*gga,” he later added.

As you may recall, the Toronto native faced significant backlash earlier this week after cancelling his headlining performance at Lolapalooza. Hours before the announcement was made, photos of Drake partying with 50 Cent at a club in Miami surfaced online, causing many to speculate that a wild night out on the town resulted in the younger lyricist’s decision to cancel. Despite the gossip, his team maintains that it was missing production staff who resulted in the concert’s cancellation. Read more about that here, and let us know if you’re excited about more music from the 36-year-old in the comments.

Did Drake Just Debut Some New Bars?

by

Drake is one of the best artists in the entire world. At this point, it is impossible to deny it. Overall, he has changed the game in a whole lot of ways. Additionally, he has some of the best-selling albums in the history of hip-hop. His mix of soft r&b ballads and harder-hitting rap songs has captivated a whole plethora of audiences. The artist has something for everyone, which is not an easy feat to accomplish. With each album, he breaks new ground and there is no doubt that fans are excited about what he is going to come out with in the future.

Soon, Drake and 21 Savage will be embarking on the “It’s All A Blur” tour. This is a tour that already has lots of controversy surrounding it due to the ticket prices. However, the two artists are on track to sell out every single venue and it is easy to see why. Their album Her Loss was a huge hit, and fans just want to see them perform together. Additionally, Drake’s last North American tour was all the way back in 2018. Needless to say, the Canadian megastar has been due for this kind of offering.

Drake Gets Poetic

On top of all of this, Drake has also been flirting with the idea of retirement. This is something that has certainly scared fans as they do not want to see Drake go. He is a staple of the music world and his loss would be immediately felt. That said, he seems to be reflecting on his success these days. In the Instagram post above, he offered what appears to be some unreleased bars. “One day I will tell the masses the story of how I manifested this whole thing while working on myself and a million other things,” he writes. “Till the records were all broken and the rules were fully bent/The 100’s smell like maple syrup so my closet has a scent/And the Rolexes are to remind myself I’ve done this time and time again,” he adds.

It remains to be seen if Drake will ever release the song that these bars are supposedly featured on. Based on the reactions from all of the fans, it is clear that this song is going to be a huge hit. The reactions were all positive, which means Drake should seriously consider dropping this. Let us know what you thought of the bars, in the comments down below.

Moneybagg Yo Says New Album Is Imminent

by

Moneybagg Yo has promised that his new album is coming very soon. Like many artists, the rapper has taken a break between albums. However, this means that his fans have been clamoring for an update on new material. During an Instagram live video, Moneybagg Yo said that his album is coming soon and that it’s “real close”. Despite these claims, no release date has yet been revealed for his forthcoming album. So far, we know that the album will be titled Hard To Love and will have 22 tracks.

Moneybagg Yo’s previous album, his fourth, was released in 2021. Titled A Gangsta’s Pain, the album garnered fairly favorable reviews. It also peaked at number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has since been certified platinum. Given the state of the industry, being certified platinum is actually a pretty big deal these days. In fact, Moneybagg Yo has plenty of platinum certifications, and has even gone as far as referring to himself as a “certified hitmaker.” So, it’s safe to say that his label will take its time to make sure the release of his forthcoming album is done right.

Album Announcement Met With Negative Reactions

Now, just because someone goes platinum doesn’t mean they are without their fair share of haters. In fact, it likely means they’ll be hated on even more. Take one look at the comment section on the announcement and you will see some absolutely brutal reactions. The top comment reads “i don’t think anybody cares lmao.” Scroll only slightly further down, and you’ll see more of the same type of comments. “Literally no one ever has said ‘man I can’t wait for a Moneybagg yo album’,” one comment says. “Just drop it bro we know ain’t gonna be that good regardless,” remarked another.

That’s not to suggest that Moneybagg Yo doesn’t have supporters. Look at the comments further, and you’ll discover fans that are already calling Hard To Love the “album of the year.” That’s some pretty high praise considering it’s only March, and there are 8 months’ worth of releases left this year for him to contend with. Still, not just anyone can get certified platinum as many times as he has in this day and age, which means Moneybagg Yo must be doing something right.

Ally Lotti Shocks Fans With Unrecognizable New Look

by

There has been a lot of drama surrounding Juice WRLD’s ex-girlfriend, Ally Lotti as of late. Just a few months ago, Lotti was arrested for drug possession and theft. Although she was able to post bond, she did have to go into a plea deal. Overall, it was bad news, especially when you consider her erratic behavior on social media. Fans have expressed their concerns for Lotti, however, they have mostly gone ignored. Needless to say, no one knows what she is dealing with right now.

Of course, Lotti was with Juice WRLD at the time of his passing back in 2019. One can imagine what kind of toll this took on her and her mental health. Subsequently, after his passing, Lotti made sure to honor Juice in any way she could. However, there were certainly sections of his fanbase who thought she was chasing clout. It was an unfair assessment that could certainly have done more damage to the grieving process. Additionally, there is now a sense that things have taken an especially difficult toll on Ally Lotti as her most recent selfie reveals an unrecognizable new look.

Ally Lotti Shows Off New Look

In the photo below, reposted by DJ Akademiks, you can see that Lotti has dyed her hair purple and brown. Overall, her hair used to be blonde, and much longer. Moreover, her facial features seem much different than before. Fans could barely even recognize her, which led to various comments underneath Akademiks’ post. Unfortunately, some people decided to treat Lotti with cruelty as opposed to charitability. There is no telling where her mental health is at, however, she still opted to share her new look with everyone. Needless to say, she has nothing to hide.

Hopefully, Ally Lotti is getting the help and support she needs during this difficult stretch. The internet can be a very cruel place, and if anyone understands that, it would have to be her. This is especially true when you are the former partner of an incredibly beloved artist. Be sure to keep it locked to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Yeat Has Fans Going Wild On His Most Recent Tour

by

Yeat may be fairly new to the game, at least in terms of notoriety, but you wouldn’t know it by seeing videos from his tour. Fans of the LA-based 22-year-old rapper are going wild at his shows. The antics range from violent to confusing, and with more than half of the tour left to go, we’re sure to get more crazy videos. The rapper’s demographic might not be what you expect, either. Even though he shot to viral fame through TikTok, it seems like even parents are pulling up to the pit.

Yeat recently released his third studio album, Afterlyfe, an hour-long album that’s been called “exhilarating in small doses“. The tour started a little over a week after the album’s release. Some may question the commercial viability and longevity of artists that gain popularity through social media, but if the videos from Yeat’s tour are any indication, he isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. The rapper’s numbers aren’t anything to scoff at, either. Afterlyfe debuted at number four on the Billboard Top 200 and number one on the Billboard Rap Albums charts.

Blame Yeat For Your Late Packages

We already got some pretty insane videos of the crowd at Yeat’s New York show. They were filmed from a balcony and showed a fully packed venue of fans jumping and singing along. The new videos, however, are straight from the middle of the pit, and the energy is even crazier than it looked from far away. One video shows people inexplicably circling around a broken wet floor sign and flipping it off. Another shows an older man crowd-surfing while onlookers ask whose father it is. There’s even a video of a FedEx employee in his work uniform getting pushed around in the pit. It seems like Yeat’s fans will do whatever they have to do to make it to the show, even if that means pulling up in a delivery truck.

No one held back in the comment section, either, taking shots at Yeat fans in the videos. “I know it stinks in there,” said one user. “Imagine how low you gotta be to attend this type of shows,” remarked another. Shady comments aside, it’s clear that the rapper has some seriously dedicated fans. Would you go to a Yeat show after seeing these videos? Let us know in the comments below.

Rick Ross Shares Video Of His Kickboxing Training: “I Ain’t Gon’ Spare You”

by

Much like his buddy DJ Khaled, Rick Ross also keeps his fans updated on his day-to-day activities. Whether he’s preaching motivational gems from the Bel-Air towers or trying to track down farm animals, the Miami rapper’s Instagram Story stands as an endless source of entertainment. However, nothing beats when Rick Ross hits the gym to show off his fitness regimen, specifically when he enters the boxing ring.

This week, the MMG boss took fans on a tour of his kickboxing training. Though he already proved he could throw hands if needed, he made it clear that he will use his feet, too, if needed. “You see, when I go wild, ‘cause I don’t want to train just to be training in the streets,” he said. “Ain’t no – all that tap sh*t,” Rozay added in reference to the pads his trainer was wearing. “I go buck wild. So if you don’t know me, when I nut up on you, it’s what I’ma say, which is gonna be horrendous. Then I’m going to jump with the punch,” he continued, pretending to hit the camera person.

Rick Ross Hits The Gym

Ross put his money where his mouth is and began to showcase his kickboxing skills with his trainer. He revealed his footwork and quick moves before continuing to pop his sh*t for the camera. “So when I start training at this intensity level, I take my shoes off, so I don’t kick my homie like that,” Rick Ross continued. “Another n***a, I ain’t gon’ spare you, I’ma kick you. I’ma kick you and punch you in the head. So come on, n***a.”

Besides his recent display of kickboxing, Rick Ross found himself in hot water over the weekend after his buffaloes escaped his property. The rapper’s neighbors expressed concern that his animals are wandering into their yard where children play. Apparently, they tried to confront him, only to get into a heated verbal dispute with a member of his team. We’ll keep you posted on any more updates surrounding that. For now, rate Rick Ross’s kickboxing skills in the comment section below. 

42 Dugg’s Prison Statement: “I Guess ‘Cause I’m Turnt I Gotta Go Through The Worst!!!”

by

Just a few days ago, fans of 42 Dugg were sad to find out that he’s facing up to five more years in prison. The rapper previously plead guilty to his charges of failure to surrender earlier this month. On Tuesday (March 28), he gave a brief update on his situation via his Instagram Story. “A lot of these n*ggas got get out jail free cards,” he ranted with white text written over a black screen. “I guess ’cause I’m turnt I gotta go through the worst!!!!!”

To conclude his message, Dugg wrote, “Death Before Dishonour, #FREEDEMBOYZ.” It remains unclear exactly who he was referring to getting “get out of jail free cards,” though he’s obviously carrying some resentment over the ongoing situation. On top of his additional time served, the 28-year-old could have to pay a hefty $250K fine, though that won’t be known for sure until a later date.

42 Dugg Facing More Prison Time

As XXL reports, Dugg was arrested in March 2020 as a part of a federal gun probe. Later that same year, he was convicted of felony possession of a firearm, and sentenced to six months at a federal West Virginia prison camp. The Detroit native’s sentence was scheduled to begin on April 12, 2022, but he ultimately failed to show up. That May, he was taken into custody by federal agents at an airport in his hometown.

At first, 42 Dugg plead not guilty, claiming sovereign citizenship which would exempt him from complying with federal law. While he surely felt confident in his defence, the court did not, resulting in the “Maybach” hitmaker’s recent plea. Five years being added to his sentence would obviously be the worst-case scenario, but it’s worth noting that the court is recommending six months for his failure to surrender. The next time we’ll see the recording artist in court is on May 10 for his sentencing hearing. Keep scrolling to read his latest statement for yourself, and check back later for more hip-hop news updates.
