Latto Goes Full Pop In New Song Preview

by

Latto isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. The ATL rapper propelled to the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Big Energy.” It gained further steam when Mariah Carey hopped on the remix. However, it seems like she’s aiming for a #1 hit next.

The rapper took to Instagram this week where she shared a snippet of new music. Latto, along with two friends, throw dollar bills in the studio while the disco-pop single blared through the speakers. Throughout the video, Latto’s filming with a camcorder, which will likely land in the official music video for the song. “Pop Latto loading…,” she captioned the post.

A lot of her fans praised the direction she went in during the snippet. Others felt as if it was an unoriginal attempt at a radio record. Some people compared the single to Doja Cat’s “Say So” and Saweetie’s “Closer” ft. H.E.R.

Latto’s unveiled a few singles in recent times but none of them are particularly indicative of how her next project will sound. In early December, she linked up with GloRilla and the late Gangsta Boo for “FTCU,” a muddy Memphis banger that samples Three 6 Mafia. Then, she closed out the year with “Another Nasty Song.” Just last week, she released a new freestyle over SZA’s “Smoking On My Ex Pack.”

Besides revving up for a new single, Latto made headlines this week after selling a pair of her panties online. eBay later removed the listing because it violated their health and hygiene policies.

She hasn’t set a release date for her new single but it seems like it could arrive sometime this week. Check the snippet below.

by

Summer Walker has shared a picture of herself taking her twins out on a stroll on her Instagram Story. The post comes a month after the rapper gave birth to the two children.

Walker didn’t include a caption for the photo but responded to one of her haters in the next post. When one user called her out for enjoying “being a single mother a little too much,” Walker fired back.

She wrote: “Being mad someone happy as hell enjoying being a mom is a different level of miserable. These kids funny as hell, & Ima have some mo.”

Walker also brought out her first daughter, who she gave birth to in 2021 with then-boyfriend London on da Track. She blurred out the faces of all of her kids with white heart emojis.

Walker first announced that she gave birth to twins during an Instagram post back in December.

“I’m so proud of myself. I’m so proud of myself,” Walker wrote at the time, referring to her birthing experience. “Just sharing to inspire other women ’cause I know once you carry twins to almost 42 weeks with (one breech), people will try and steer you towards induction or c-section (which there’s nothing wrong with these. I just didn’t want it for myself.”

She continued: “You can do it; this was my second home birth. All natural. 7hrs, no tearing and I couldn’t of done it without my spirit guides, Godparents, birth team, my elders, and the best Dad doula ever Larry lol. He was so hands-on the whole time. I was really impressed.”

PnB Rock’s Girlfriend Shares Family Photo Mourning Late Rapper

by

PnB Rock’s girlfriend, Stephanie Sibounheuang, mourned the late rapper on her Instagram Story, earlier this week. She shared a family photo of the two of them with their daughter.

“We miss you every second,” she captioned the photo.

PnB Rock and Sibounheuang’s daughter is named Xuri.

The post comes after Sibounheuang recently called on fans to stream PnB Rock’s “Luv Me Again.” He released the song just ten days before his death. It was his first independently released track.

She also recently reflected on the burden she’s been facing without PnB Rock in her life during an Instagram Live post.

“It’s just been tough without no help, without, you know, my protector and my provider here,” she said. “He did not have life insurance. No, he did not have a will. No, we didn’t have nothing set up. We’re so young [that] we don’t plan on death. I don’t get no death benefits. I don’t get nothing.”

“It’s really like, I’m just letting God use me,” she continued. “I’m just trusting God’s plan. I’m just being obedient. Like, if that’s what God [wants], then have your way.”

PnB Rock was shot and killed on September 2, 2022, at Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles in Los Angeles. He and Sibounheuang were dining together at the time. She’s said that PnB Rock saved her by pushing her under a table at the time of the shooting.

Police have since made three arrests in connection to the attack. They are reportedly still looking for a fourth suspect.

Shemar Moore Rocks “Baby Girl” Beanie In Adorable New Photos With Daughter Frankie

by

Baby fever looks to be running rampant as of late. More and more celebrities continue to post adorable content with their newborns on social media. This past weekend we saw Jhené Aiko and Big Sean singing to their son, Noah, on TikTok, and Diddy couldn’t help but draw attention to his adorable little one, Love. On Sunday (January 29), Shemar Moore also joined the club, dropping off some sweet selfies with his newborn daughter.

If you ever tuned into Criminal Minds, you may have seen the California-born actor’s character, Derek Morgan, often referring to his on-screen coworker, Penelope Garcia, as “baby girl.” He previously left the show behind during its eleventh season. However, Moore is clearly doing his part to keep the FBI agent’s legacy alive in his real life.

In yesterday’s upload, the Hollywood heartthrob sits back on the couch with his infant laying on his chest. On his head is a black beanie with the words “baby girl” embroidered in bright green across the front. Sunglasses cover the new father’s eyes, and a cloth is thrown over one shoulder to prevent any potential mess from his child.

“Baby Girl Frankie n Daddy!!!” he wrote in the caption. The adorable infant sports a beanie on her head, much like her father. Rather than an identical match, though, hers is light pink in colour and lacks the same nickname stitching.

As PEOPLE notes, Moore and his girlfriend Jesiree Dizon welcomed their daughter just last week, on January 24th.

This is the entertainer’s first child. The Solver actress, for her part, has a 5-year-old daughter, Charli, from a past relationship with Stephen Bishop. Additionally, she shares a son, Kaiden, from another expired romance.

Daddy duty is certainly at the top of his priority list now, but Moore has still been making time for occasional public appearances. Earlier this month, he sat down with Jennifer Hudson on her talk show, during which the 52-year-old admitted he was once rejected by Alicia Keys.

Read everything Shemar had to say about that experience here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Jamie Foxx Jams With Daughter On IG

by

Jamie Foxx and his daughter Analise shared a jam session on Instagram, and fans and viewers are pretty impressed. Of course, doubting Jamie Foxx’s talents is a fruitless endeavor, but it’s always heartening to see some family bonding over great tunes. Moreover, with Jamie on drums and Analise on bass, they recorded a cover of the one and only “Rapper’s Delight” by The Sugarhill Gang.

“#daddydaughtertime music vibes with my daughter in London Town!” the actor captioned the post. “We bout to hit the road together!!! Daddy daughter tour!!! Ya Hurd!! #anelisefoxx.”

Furthermore, the post’s comments section is full of fire emojis and hearts. “What can’t you do?” one user commented, while many seem to agree the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Also, this entertaining and vibrant clip harkens back to what Jamie Foxx said about having fun again in today’s climate.

“It’s just a time for us to have fun,” he said. “Let’s get back to the fun. You asking me the questions and everything like that. You know what I tell all my peers man? ‘Remember when we had fun? Remember when we did a record? We were in the back– we were in the studio– had no money? Remember when we used to just do movies and we couldn’t wait to perform for the people? Let’s go back to that.’

“We always looking for the bad in people right now,” he added. “Look for the good every once in a while.”

Moreover, those last comments might take aim at longtime collaborator Kanye West and his recent deplorable statements. In fact, the Chicago rapper said that he would want Foxx to play him in a biopic about his life. While a recent documentary about Ye released, and aged not so gracefully, a fiction-oriented account would be curious, to say the least.

Still, what do you think of Jamie Foxx and his daughter Analise jamming together for the Gram? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest in pop culture families, generational talents, and blessed genes for music.

Megan Fox Debuts Blonde Bombshell Hairstyle, Social Media Reacts

by

She’s best known for her long, jet-black hair and bright blue eyes. However, one month into 2023, Megan Fox dramatically changed her appearance. On Friday (January 27), the 36-year-old had a revelation for her millions of followers. Via her Instagram Story, she revealed that she’s surprisingly joined the blonde bombshell club.

As Page Six notes, the selfie showing off her shoulder-length bob with a shadow root seems as though it was taken in a trailer on a film set. Aside from the astounding colour change, the mother of three is also trying out straight-across bangs – a far cry from her usual middle part.

At this time, Fox has been busy filming the upcoming Subservience film. In that, she’ll play the role of a domesticated robot. Starring alongside her is 365 Days actor, Michele Morrone. He will take on the role of a struggling father who purchases a SIM to aid him around the house.

Details about the project remain sparse for now. However, we do know that the Tennessee-born starlet’s character will go on a deadly rampage as she begins to gain awareness. Her new hairdo seemingly has something to do with the movie. Production on the project reportedly began earlier this month.

Thus far, the reaction to Fox’s new hair seems to be divided. “I was always curious to see Megan Fox go blonde,” one Twitter user wrote this past weekend. “I don’t know how to feel lmao. It’s cute, sure, but… she doesn’t look like Megan Fox, y’know?”

“Looking good blonde is the only thing I can do that Megan fox can’t,” another shady response reads. However, there are some describing the new look as “insanely sexy,” among other things.

Aside from dramatically switching up her look, Fox also often makes headlines thanks to her relationship with Machine Gun Kelly. The lovers are always candid about the eccentricities of their relationship, whether the rest of the world agrees with their ways or not.

Last month, the Transformers actress put out a call for a girlfriend on her Instagram page, earning a clever response from her rapper fiancé. Read all about that exchange here, and let us know what you think of Megan’s blonde bob in the comments.

Damar Hamlin’s Statement

“Now that my brothers have closed out a strong winning season,” he began. “As I continue to make so much progress recovering, I think it’s finally a good time to share a few things. I think it was important for me to wait and speak publicly at the right time, as it was just a lot to process within my own self. Mentally, physically, even spiritually, it’s just been a lot to process. But I can’t tell you how appreciative I am of all the love, all the support, and everything that’s just been coming in my way.

“What happened to me on Monday Night Football I feel is a direct example of God using me as a vessel to share my passion and my love directly from my heart with the entire world. I’m able to give it to kids and communities all across the world who need it the most, and that’s always been my dream. That’s always been what I stood for and what I’ll continue to stand for.”

Later, the Bills star went on to thank the medical teams at the Bills organization, the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, and Buffalo General Hospital. Also, he thanked his mom, dad, little brother, and friends and family for their unwavering presence. While Hamlin processed a lot in a short time, he thanked people from every corner of his recovery. Moreover, he thanked his teammates, NFL fans, and many others.
