Charleston White Blasts People Celebrating 6ix9ine’s Beatdown

by

Charleston White is one of many in the pop culture world who reacted to 6ix9ine’s beatdown in an LA Fitness bathroom. However, he took a decidedly more uninvolved approach, blasting those who celebrated the attack on him. Of course, opinions on whether he deserved it or not are split among media discussion platforms and some of the culture’s most prolific commentators. However, in the Wild West of social media, it’s fair to say that many have treated the incident more lightly than other crime stories. As such, the former gang leader turned Internet personality had some words for those making light of the assault.

“Listen, I wanna tell all the black people that’s celebrating Tekashi 6ix9ine’s a**-whooping, stop celebrating,” he began. “Wait ’til Juneteenth. Wait ’til n***a day, n***a. Celebrate then. ‘Cause them Puerto Ricans got his a**. This is a battle between Puerto Ricans and Mexicans. N***as can’t claim that. So tell Lil Boosie, he didn’t get that a** whooping for the motherf***in’ streets. The streets still haven’t dealt nothin’ to Daniel. They didn’t beat him up, they just slapped him around. N***as who get beat up don’t walk out the door, asking questions.”

Moreover, he went on to say that Tekashi didn’t even get roughed up that much in the grander scheme of things. In fact, he even suggested that police call off their investigation. However, the real twist is that, rather than being more sympathetic, White seemed to suggest that it wasn’t the true retribution that he deserves. As such, his words indicate that he believes the “GUMMO” rapper still has a debt to pay.

Meanwhile, the rapper recently decided not to bring back his security and continue trying to live his life like a civilian. While it may be a slightly noble and understandable goal if he wants to live a normal life, it teeters between hopeful and naive. Given his reputation among the rap world and pop culture and large as a snitch, this will prove difficult. However, after this incident, it’s clear that he’s not out of surprises just yet. Regardless, come back to HNHH for more updates on this story.

Young Guru Claims Lil Wayne Would “Wash” 50 Cent In A “Verzuz”

by

Hip-hop culture’s been debating about who would win in a Verzuz battle between 50 Cent and Lil Wayne, and Young Guru is the latest legend to chime in. Moreover, this all started with multiple media personalities giving their thoughts on the subject, including Ebro, DJ Envy, and their respective radio crews. However, considering that he’s Jay-Z’s longtime engineer, his harsh assessment might just ring harder than any previous take. Furthermore, he took to his Instagram Story to try to set the record straight and speak authoritatively on the subject. Whether he’s right or not, perhaps we’ll never know, but it seems like a 50-50 split as to who would claim victory (or 50-Weezy, I guess).

“For the record y’all are crazy. Wayne would wash 50. Period,” the acclaimed audio technician wrote. Also, he said that To elaborate, here are some takes from other figures who recently debated the issue. First up is Ebro, who said that “what Jadakiss did to Dipset…Is what 50 will do to Wayne.” Eddie Francis disagreed on Rap Life Review, saying that a “wash” is impossible. To be fair, it is a tight race (consider this writer in Tunechi’s corner, with all due respect). Still, Lowkey argued on the program that he needs a carefully curated setlist to stand a chance against the G-Unit mogul.

Young Guru: Lil Wayne Would “Wash” 50 Cent

“Wayne don’t have a Get Rich or Die Tryin,‘” Low claimed, and blasphemously so for many (is Tha Carter III nothing to you?). “We’re not talking about what we like… We’re talking about in a crowd. [50 Cent] is a mainstream monster; Wayne is a cultural mainstream monster. But when we talk about these hits? When we talk about these bodies of work? When we talk about these smashes? I ain’t saying 50’s gonna wash Wayne, but if Wayne is not sequenced right and is not positioned correctly, that could be a very long f***ing night for Dwayne Carter.”

Meanwhile, DJ Envy agreed on The Breakfast Club, although he said it’s closer than many think. Regardless of all that, it’s still highly unlikely that we’ll ever get to answer this question. After all, 50’s dismissed the idea of doing a Verzuz, especially since it was more of a pandemic thing that hasn’t fully come back. On his end, the Young Money icon said that Roc-A-Fella would be the “best competition” against his label in a battle. As such, fans can only keep their fingers crossed and hope that the two incredible MCs look at all the buzz and say, “You know what, why not?” Come back to HNHH to see if that ever happens, and for the latest on 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, and Young Guru.

Lil Durk Says India Royale Has Him “In A Headlock,” Defends Her From Twitter Trolls

by

Lil Durk and India Royale’s curious relationship continues to unfold on social media, as the rapper said she has him “in a headlock.” Moreover, he responded to trolls on Twitter criticizing Royale for her fame and status, debating whether she’s “famous” or just “known.” Furthermore, a lot of people went at her for only reaching the limelight as a rapper’s baby mama. However, that’s a title and rise to fame that the 28-year-old seemed to embrace and not let get to her head. As such, she brushed off the critics and clapped back at a few people on Twitter, which Durk backed up.

“I’m one of the ones who don’t care about y’all saying I got famous from being a rapper baby mama,” she tweeted. “I did, and what about it? It’s Miss Rapper Baby Mama to you.” Then, she kept responding to people either defending her or continually bashing her after her remarks. Still, one of her most vocal supporters was none other than Durkio himself, who took to the comments section of The Shade Room Teens covering these interactions to put some respect on her name… albeit by reaffirming how much he wants her back. “Y’all talking all that s**t lol she got this rapper in a headlock,” he wrote.

India Royale Has Lil Durk “In A Headlock,” He Shares

Interestingly, it’s not like the Chicago MC’s attempts to reconcile have resulted in nothing but scorn from his ex. After all, she defended Durk against YoungBoy recently, and even his baby mama and other rappers got roped into the conversation. Despite all that, their relationship status is still separated at the moment, although they’re on good enough terms to have a good time with their four-year-old daughter Willow together. Recently, The Voice even posted a lengthy and loving birthday message for his former flame, one that he wants to spark again.

“So I ain’t perfect but I’m for you and I love you,” he partly shared on his IG Story. “And I’m all ears when ever we get back in a relationship. You saved my life with you and willow and big sky outside all my kids you was there ripthang. This real s**t don’t attack her she definitely the best in the world trust me. I ain’t do her wrong I just keep her from the world. I love you having fun and we ain’t fighting I said not fight and I started one but I miss you that’s all. We ain’t no jokes we really that we can get the bag bag together without doing the most or copy cat what they did.” Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest on India Royale and Lil Durk.

Selena Gomez Claims Hailey Bieber Reached Out About Death Threats

by

The alleged drama between Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez reached a peak this week upon Selena telling followers that Hailey reached out to her, saying that she received death threats as a result of their alleged social media spat. Moreover, for those not caught up, many believed that the pop star’s girlfriend threw shade at his ex via Instagram, and a lot of that speculation possibly is what caused the “Only Murders In The Building” star to take a social media break. However, things took a nasty turn when people started speculating more and more.

In fact, now Gomez is telling her fans (and all the Hailey haters) to stop sending death threats and more hatred her way. Of course, she never advocated for such in the first place. “Hailey Bieber reached out to me and let me know that she has been receiving death threats and such hateful negativity,” she wrote on her Instagram Story on Friday morning (March 24). “This isn’t what I stand for. No one should have to experience hate or bullying. I’ve always advocated for kindness and really want this all to stop.”

Hailey Bieber Told Selena Gomez That She’s Receiving Death Threats

What’s more is that this is the first time she directly addressed this recent firestorm, although she seemingly spoke on it indirectly earlier this month. “Please, please be kinder and consider others’ mental health,” she wrote in a TikTok comment. Also, she expressed a heavy heart, presumably over people trashing Bieber for “stealing” her ex and allegedly throwing shade. Overall, the situation got out of hand fast, and is a prime example of the dangers of fandom and specifically reading too much into media posts. While this kind of story has followed both women for a while, its most recent focus dragging Kylie Jenner, eyebrow posts, and other factors into it doesn’t make it any less gross to propagate with such ire.

“It’s not my character to mess with someone’s relationship,” Bieber said on the Call Her Daddy podcast last September. Moreover, she referred to attacks that she took Justin away from Selena. “I would just never do that. I’m not interested in doing that and I never was.” Furthermore, she expressed that her and Selena have a lot of mutual respect for one another. Hopefully this situation doesn’t fake a feud to provoke a real one, and they can move on with their lives. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest on Hailey Bieber and Selena Gomez.

Megan Thee Stallion Shows Off Her Gym Progress With A Series Of Mirror Selfies

by

Megan Thee Stallion had previously been shielding herself from the public eye amid the Tory Lanez verdict. As we already know, Lanez was found guilty of shooting Megan in the foot. However, Meg has refrained from commenting on the case and it is easy to see why. Thankfully, the rapper is back on social media and seems to be having a great time. Firstly, we saw her at the Vanity Fair Oscars party, which then led to her first Instagram post in months. Subsequently, she has been teasing new music while also dropping some seductive shots on the gram.

Overall, Megan Thee Stallion is an artist that fans are always looking to hear from. She has been through a lot as of late, and one can imagine her recent experiences would make for some interesting bars. Although, it seems like Meg is on more than just a music journey. She is also on a fitness journey of sorts. We know this because the artist took to Instagram last night with a photo dump from the gym.

Megan Thee Stallion Is Living Her Best Life

In the Instagram post up above, Megan Thee Stallion can be seen posing in front of various mirrors. Moreover, in each shot, she is wearing some form of gym attire. She seems to be happy with herself in terms of her progress, and it’s clear that she is already motivating some of her fans. For instance, if you go into the comments section of the post, you will see multiple people stating that this has prompted them to get back on their grind. Needless to say, you never know what kinds of social media posts are going to make an impact.

No matter what, it’s just good to see Megan Thee Stallion back on social media. Fans missed her during her absence, and this return certainly means that new music is coming soon. Hopefully, Meg begins to clue us in as to when that will drop, sooner rather than later. Let us know what you want from Meg’s next album, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Keke Palmer Takes A Stroll With Newborn, Says Motherhood Is “My Greatest Gig”

by

Parenthood looks great on Keke Palmer. The veteran actress-singer is commanding the most important role she’ll ever tackle: motherhood. Palmer shared the news of her pregnancy with the world in December while hosting Saturday Night Live. It’s reported she decided to make her big reveal on the show after realizing the physicality needed to perform couldn’t be done while keeping her secret. She closed out February with the news of her son’s arrival and even shared his name: Leodis Jackson. Fans had fun teasing her about that one, but Palmer took it all in stride.

Since then, she’s been updating her followers about the ups and downs of her first months as a mom. This week, Palmer shared a photo of her “mommy’ing” with her newborn, nicknamed “Mookie Mook,” as they went for a stroll. “I have juggled quite a few careers but this is my greatest gig of all,” the actress wrote in the caption of her photos. “Learning how to balance it all and looking forward to discovering this new person I am becoming. I will never be the same again, but if you thought I was a bad mama jamma before, you can’t imagine the greater purpose my son has given my life!”

Keke Palmer Is Glowing

She added, “Also, loving the new world I get to indulge in now as a mom. I have so many things bagged in my Amazon cart, haven’t quite pulled the place the order button, but it feels good just adding it to the cart. You know, fake shopping hahaha. Mom ‘stuff’ is a big business, who knew.😝😅❤🙏🏾🔥😘🤦🏾‍♀️.” Meanwhile, Palmer’s growing family has drawn attention to her boyfriend, Darius Jackson. Little is known about the entertainment and sports professional, but it’s reported he and Palmer began dating in May 2021. They were said to have met at a Memorial Day party hosted by Sean “Diddy” Combs.”

Additionally, Darius is related to Sarunas Jackson, the actor who starred in Insecure from 2017 to 2021. It should also be noted that Sarunas famously called out Trey Songz, alleging the singer is a predator. Previously, Palmer accused Songz of sexual intimidation, even saying she hid from him in a closet. Meanwhile, unlike other stars, Palmer and her man keep the details of their relationship close to the vest. Their fans may not have a close eye on their romance, but the couple does pop up on social media in photos where they can’t help but show their affection. No word on if they’re looking to expand their brood, but for now, Palmer is delighting in her little one. Check out her post above.

Iggy Azalea Teases Fans With Studio Pictures

by

Iggy Azalea just shared some new pictures of her in the studio, hinting towards new music dropping soon. Moreover, she looks calm and happy in front of the mic, cooking up on her tablet amid synthesizers, a bouquet of flowers, and other recording equipment. Of course, those who frequent Iggy’s IG are likely more familiar with her sultry snaps, sometimes promoting her OnlyFans account. While that’s brought her a lot of success, she’s also expressed a desire to keep her career going in conjunction with her other ventures. As such, perhaps we’ll see a new era for the Sydney artist.

Not only that, but she already has an idea of what she’d like to do next- and who with. Furthermore, she expressed a strong desire to work with Britney Spears again. The two previously collaborated on the 2015 cut “Pretty Girls.” Also, she detailed how she witnessed the hardships Britney faced due to her fortunately concluded conservatorship under her father. Like many others online, Azalea was a vocal and impassioned advocate for the #FreeBritney movement.

Iggy Azalea In The Studio

“My collaboration with her is always one of my favorite collaborations,” the “Fancy” MC remarked to Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live. “I feel like… I’ve spoken about this before, but I just feel like there was so much we wanted to do with it. And we never got to do what we wanted to do.” In addition, she said that the two still keep in touch over Instagram. “She was so limited, obviously. Now she has the ability to do it her way 100 percent. I love Britney, and she’s so much more creative than what people give her credit for.”

“What she did with Elton was so amazing,” she said about the pop star’s Elton John collab, “Hold Me Closer.” Moreover, she released that as her first work following the end of her conservatorship. “I would love to be a part of more of anything that she had to do. Especially when they’re 100 percent her own ideas.” In other potential collab news, Andy asked her to choose between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B, which is not easy considering both their impact and their beef. Check out what she had to say here and return to HNHH for the latest on Iggy Azalea.

Ashanti Keeps Stunning In Beautiful Blue Bikini Pictures

by

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, right? Ashanti just kept stunning fans on Instagram, this time with poolside pictures of her in a beautiful and sparkly blue bikini and robe. Moreover, this comes after her gorgeous thirst traps from Saturday (March 18) that had people wishing they could go on vacation as often as her. However, a lot of that wishful thinking unfortunately turned into more critical envy, with people bringing up that she isn’t in a relationship and is just traveling around aimlessly. Of course, she didn’t have to respond to those claims; not only because she doesn’t need to, but because many fans were defending her in her stead. Who’s anyone to say that she can’t enjoy her life how she wants?

Clearly, her beautiful Abu Dhabi vacation and enjoying life is top priority, and no such comments deterred her from posting more steamy pics. In fact, she’s probably decompressing after multiple tour dates and shows last year, with even more on the way. Furthermore, she’ll join DJ Cassidy, Lil Kim, Ma$e, Fabolous, and more on the “Pass The Mic” tour, with her specific performance occurring on May 12th in New Jersey. It seems like this is one of many one-night-only events that the DJ will put on throughout the year.

Ashanti Looks Beautiful In Blue Bikini Snaps

In other Ashanti news, the “Rock Wit U” singer recently modeled for Marc Jacobs’ latest campaign in sleek all-black fits. While she’s 20 years into her career, more or less, she continues to impress and charm with her talents, beauty, and her lively personality. Not only that, but in 2022, she received an insane physical marker of her incredible success: a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

“It’s surreal,” she told Billboard of the honor and ceremony, which hosted friends like Ja Rule. Moreover, she recently congratulated the rapper on his birthday (fun fact: he’s a leap year baby). “I’m shocked, stunned and over the top grateful. This is a staple in my career and the fact that it will be here forever is a big deal. I’m not a super emotional person, so the fact that I cried a little bit today is a little weird for me.” Check out her pictures above and come back to HNHH for the latest on Ashanti.

SZA Expresses Gratitude For Steamy SKIMS Campaign Appearance

by

SZA’s recent appearance in a SKIMS campaign stunned many, and she recently took to Instagram to talk about it. Moreover, the “Kill Bill” star modeled in underwear, lingerie, and a full bodysuit for the Kim Kardashian-co-founded inclusive clothing brand. In the caption to her Instagram post commemorating the occasion, she expressed thanks for the opportunity and gave a brief but effective cosign of the product. “Feelin fine and comfy in my @SKIMS,” the TDE signee and record-breaking singer wrote in her caption. “Grateful to be included in their new campaign wearing Fits Everybody,” and she added a winky face emoji and a white heart.

Furthermore, following the massive success of her highly anticipated album SOS, the 33-year-old’s been very busy. For example, there’s her incredibly lucrative and well-received tour, which recently made some stops across the Pacific Northwest. In addition, she also often makes sure to show some love when she’s watching other people model their brand deals. That’s exactly what she did when she thirsted over Cardi B’s pictures in her McDonald’s merch line, writing “Ur so bad it’s INSANE.”

SZA’s SKIMS Campaign

Also, apparently the “Gone Girl” songwriter might just switch things up stylistically for her next musical move. Of course, she could drop ten more Ctrl‘s and five more SOS‘s and the world would likely be a better place for it. Still, Top Dawg Entertainment president Punch’s assessment that she has enough rap records for an EP is quite exciting. Especially after such a long time absent from the game, hearing her switch up her style is a freeing emotion that she hopefully shares.

“SZA is a force,” the California executive continued. “To go seven consecutive weeks at No. 1 is legendary. She’s a true generational artist, a cultural reset, if you will. For her album S.O.S to blend so many different genres together in a cohesive frame shows her genius and versatility. Then you have the voice, the words, the pain, the growth, the relapsing, the delivery, the stories, etc… a true masterpiece.” Check out SZA’s SKIMS campaign above and stick around on HNHH for the latest news on the incredible artist.

Nicki Minaj Poses For Family Photos With Papa Bear & Other Relatives: “3 Generations Of Petty”

by

As of late, Nicki Minaj’s Instagram feed has been consistently lighting up with exciting news regarding her music, not to mention plenty of thirst traps. From teasing her upcoming “Red Ruby Da Sleeze” music video (which finds her flaunting her figure in a sexy black bathing suit) to hinting at the possibility of signing Ice Spice, the Barbz have certainly never been happier to see their Queen making such inspiring moves. On Tuesday (March 21), the mother of one took a break from her usual content to give a glimpse into her family life, which looks incredibly glamorous, to say the least.

The 40-year-old’s photo dump began with an image of her and Kenneth Petty, who she married in 2019. Minaj looked like the ultimate boss in her long, sleek, black leather coat, worn over what looks like a short, sparkly dress. To complete the outfit, she wore larger-than-life round sunglasses and knee-high chrome boots. Petty donned a Canadian tuxedo, pairing a matching denim jacket and jeans combo with a New York hat, a grey Louis Vuitton hoodie, and crisp white sneakers. The couple – who have known each other as friends long before their relationship turned romantic – share one child, known to the world as Papa Bear.

Nicki Minaj Captures Her “Moments 4 Life”

The little one makes an appearance in the second image, being held by his father while Minaj stands close by. She and Petty are sporting different outfits this time, opting for a slightly classier vibe while meeting up with the rap diva’s in-laws. “3 generations of Petty, plus mommy,” the caption of her heartwarming upload reads. “Moments 4 Life 🎀.” As followers scroll through her selection of images, they’ll eventually see 2-year-old Papa Bear happily sitting on his father’s lap, Kenneth’s own dad also hanging out beside them.

As Nicki Minaj’s latest Instagram post nears its end, we see a video of her cheersing a cocktail with her man before letting out a loud, infectious cackle as the camera records. Based on the countless smiles seen throughout, a good time was had by all earlier this week. Keep scrolling for more heartwarming videos of Papa Bear from his mom’s IG feed, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
