50 Cent Celebrates Lil Meech’s Cleared Gun Charges

by

50 Cent just reacted to authorities BMF star Lil Meech’s cleared gun charges from an arrest at a December airport. What’s more is that the Queens rapper was much more to-the-point than usual in his Instagram jabs. Clearly it’s no laughing matter, as the 22-year-old actor faced a felony charge.

Furthermore, his attorneys called the whole ordeal an innocent mistake. According to TMZ, the Broward County State Attorney’s Office dropped its original felony charge against Meech of “introducing a firearm into the sterile area of the airport.” Moreover, said arrest occurred on December 13th of last year. After the whole ordeal, the actor got some bling to commemorate his breakout role.

Police arrested Lil Meech, real name Demetrius Flenory Jr., after airport security discovered a gun in his carry-on luggage. Although all signs pointed to trouble, Meech and his team clarified that the gun and bag belonged to his bodyguard. Reportedly, the bodyguard tried to make this clear, but officials paid him no mind.

Since then, Flenory Jr.’s attorney Bradford Cohen presented prosecutors with a purchase receipt, gun case, and license to carry that disproved his client’s ownership of the confiscated materials. Also, he explained that, given the similarities between Meech’s bag and his bodyguard’s, they mixed things up at the airport.

Moreover, authorities decided to retract from potentially charging the actor with a misdemeanor, based on evidence presented by the “defense.” Even with some hiccups along the way, it seems last month smoothed over well enough for Meech.

Still, 50 was much quicker than the court with his reaction, response, and post-clearance moves. “Ok that’s out the way, now let’s go!” he wrote. Then, his BMF star thanked him in the comments. “Your loyalty is unmatched. I love you and i thank u for everything,” he wrote. Both starts are looking forward to the show’s third season, which was renewed earlier this week.

However, what do you think about 50 Cent’s reaction to Lil Meech’s dropped gun charges? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest from 50 Cent and his TV universes.

Kylie Jenner Shares Pic Of Her & Travis Scott’s Son, Reveals Name

by

Kylie Jenner just shared a pic of her son with Travis Scott and revealed his name to her Instagram followers. Moreover, the baby’s reveal comes just weeks after the star couple reportedly broke up. Still, they’re one of the most beloved and discussed celebrity couples, and Kylie shared their son in a cute post.

Moreover, the makeup mogul shared a mirror selfie holding her son in her right arm. She captioned the post with the baby’s supposed name: “AIRE.”

As such, many in the comments reacted excitedly with well-wishes and admirations. For example, Jenner’s stepsister Khloé commented “The king!!! Young king!!!!!” Other celebrities chimed in with their own exclamations. Olivia Pierson wrote “There he is!!!!! Those eyes I can’t deal,” while Johnny Cyrus commented “HE IS SO CUTE… AIRE AND STORMI!!! icons.”

However, Aire’s reveal to the world involves some conflicting reports. Initially, Kylie and Travis named their second child “Wolf,” though they later said they changed their minds. Since then, fans have been increasingly curious about what they would name their kid.

Unfortunately, the name reveal coincided with the couple’s public breakup. Us Weekly reported on the story with some unnamed sources, and many in the media world followed suit.

“Kylie and Travis are off again, they were supposed to spend the holidays together, but she went to Aspen to be with her family and friends up there,” a source stated. “This has happened so many times before, they’re known to be on again off again, but always remain friends and great co-parents.”

Meanwhile, the “SICKO MODE” rapper recently went out on the town for the first time since his split from the reality TV star. Moreover, the Houston artist landed down in Los Angeles on Sunday, January 8th. What’s more is that much of the reported reasoning around the split could be related to them not spending Christmas together.

Still, what do you think of Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott’s son’s new name, Aire? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, come back to HNHH for the latest celebrity news and snaps.

Lil Wayne Snippet Teased On Juelz Santana’s Instagram

by

Juelz Santana just shared a snippet of a new Lil Wayne song on his Instagram. Moreover, he teased a new album on the way, expected to be a Gangsta Grillz tape titled We In Motion set for later this year. In this new snippet, Weezy starts his verse over some menacing bell hits and what sound like string swells. Whatever Santana’s cooking up, it seems the New Orleans veteran will deliver some heat.

“Ayo, the cocaine whiter, the rope chain brighter,” Wayne raps on his part. However, the clip abruptly ends before we can hear more. There’s a spoken word bit right before, or at least that’s what’s noticeable from the snippet. Also, Santana dons a face mask as he sits in front of the mixed song on a computer. Amid empty Pepsi cans and a half-smoked blunt, it looked like he was in the studio for a while.

Moreover, Santana teased fans with what he’s been cooking with another notable spitter, Joyner Lucas. As he gears up for an anticipated drop, some other developments in his life unfortunately came about. Reality star Kimbella announced her split from the rapper back in December of last year.

While they didn’t reveal much about the breakup, a video that Kimbella shared might contain some hidden answers.

“Arguing 24/7 because his feelings were all that mattered,” she captioned the video. “Begging him to change so we could make it work. Feeling numb because he made you feel like the problem. Watching him mess up again when he promised he’d change. Feeling alone after he lied the whole relationship. Knowing it’s time to give up even though you love him. Figuring out how you’re going to fix yourself after he dragged you down.”

Meanwhile, dropping new music isn’t all that Tunechi is likely worried about. The “A Milli” MC recently lost a $20 million legal battle with his former manager for unfulfilled payments. Still, as one of the most talked-about legends in hip-hop, a brighter news story is probably just around the corner.

Regardless, what do you think of the Lil Wayne snippet shared to Juelz Santana’s Instagram? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, come back to HNHH for more sneak peeks from your favorite rapper’s next release.

Noname Calls On Black Artists To Gatekeep Their Art

by

Noname recently made a powerful statement on Instagram, as she urged Black artists to gatekeep their art. Moreover, she shared some statements on Thursday (January 19) about how Black art is exploited by white audiences or white-owned mediums. While the Chicago native paused her music career, she continues to engage in important and impactful activism, action, and dialogue.

“One of the biggest mistakes i believe we’ve made in our struggle towards liberation in this country is allowing white america unfiltered access to our entire culture,” she wrote. “White america has created an institution of violent policing and medical neglect that is killing us EVERY F***ING DAY. and every day we get on their platforms (tik tok, twitter etc.) and we create trends, music, art and language that they turn into billions.

“Twitter admits in their guidelines that they disclose account information to law enforcement,” she continued. “They literally are the police. We do not own Black culture. We create it.”

Moreover, she connected the exploitation of hip-hop today to the evolution of blues and jazz music in U.S. history.

“Do yall never think, maybe white people don’t organize to end economic/racist exploitation that black people face simply because they love consuming the art we make out of survival,” the Room 25 rapper stated. However, her statement was more nuanced than skeptics likely assume.

“As black artists making black art, we have a responsibility to our community and to our culture,” she expressed. “I understand needing to survive under capitalism but there is power in collective action! what would it look like if we all said, unless festivals, streaming, social media puts 10% of their profits into a black community fund we use to house and feed people, we will no longer contribute our content.

“I’m about to play coachella because i need the bread,” she went on. “Trust, i’m not above anybody but if there was a collective boycott where ALL black artists refuse to share our work unless we see radical change in our conditions, i would immediately do that s**t.”

Furthermore, she engaged in a respectful back-and forth in the comments, even if they weren’t returning respect in kind. For example, for those quick to judge her Coachella appearance, she revealed some hardened circumstances.

“I stopped playing shows for yearsss! for the exact reason i’m talking about and nothing happened,” the 31-year-old responded to one user. “I’m not a big enough artist for them to care. Sorry but i’m not about to have my mom on the street unless EVERY artists willing to make that sacrifice. I almost [did] that shit and never again.”

Regardless, what do you think of Noname’s call to Black artists to gatekeep their work? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest from your favorite artists.

Summer Walker Has Questions After Yung Miami Admits She Likes Getting Peed On

by

Summer Walker has questions for Yung Miami after the City Girls rapper admitted that she enjoyed golden showers.

During the latest episode of Caresha Please, the City Girls rapper admitted that she enjoys getting peed on. The comment took Trina back, who further asked for clarity from Miami.

“Golden showers? Meaning when a guy pees on you?” Trina asked. “Pee on you everywhere? You like it?”

“I don’t know, it just do something for me,” Miami said.

Needless to say, Twitter and social media at large and a lot to say about the revelation. Shortly after the clip went viral, “Pee Diddy” began trending on Twitter.

However, Summer Walker needed some answers from Miami. She slid in the comment section of The Neighborhood Talk’s Instagram post where she asked for specifics, such as water intake and the color of the urine.

“I have genuine questions about this, no judgment. Like do you require a certain level of water intake before this or it doesn’t matter?” she wrote. “I’m saying is it that clear oderless pee or that stankin dark yellow hennessy infused perc 30 black n mild hotwing piss.”

Miami has yet to respond to Summer Walker’s question but perhaps, this is a conversation that should be had on Caresha Please.

Check out the latest episode of Yung Miami’s Caresha Please with Trina below.

Polo G Denies Unfollowing Gunna

by

The rap game continues to distance itself from Gunna, who faced allegations of snitching after copping an Alford plea. Law experts said Gunna didn’t snitch but the streets (and social media) claim otherwise. Lil Baby and Meek Mill unfollowed Gunna online and then, fans believed that Polo G did the same.

The Chicago rapper denied this to be true in a series of Instagram posts. Polo G said that he never unfollowed Gunna because he never followed the YSL rapper to begin with.

“I wasn’t never followin’ him to unfollow up,” Polo G wrote. “Y’all be on my dick.”

Afterward, he stated that he’s not following any trends or watching anyone else’s moves. Polo G explained that he minds his business, which is why he’s never involved with any drama.

“I don’t follow up behind nobody, I make my own decisions as a man and I do a good job at mindin my business,” he wrote. “U don’t see me in shit for a reason.”

Polo G added, “I don’t fuck with n***as good or bad simple and plain.”

Nearly a month after his release from prison, Gunna made his first post on Instagram where he revealed he was locked in the studio. At the same time, he called for Young Thug and Yak Gotti to be free.

“N***as acting like they switching to a side,” he wrote. “But it’s only one side . #YsltheLabel #FreeThug&Yak GUNNA BACC!!!!!”

Many labeled Gunna a hypocrite since prosecutors could use his plea to as evidence to convict Young Thug. Gunna’s attorney said that his client would plead the fifth if asked to testify against Young Thug and the rest of the co-defendants in the YSL case.

Instagram Set to Debut New ‘Quiet Mode’ Feature

Instagram Set to Debut New 'Quiet Mode' Feature

On Thursday, Instagram announced its latest feature, “quiet mode,” geared to help users focus and set boundaries with their followers.

The feature will send automatic replies to followers who try to message you letting them know you were not notified of their message. Additionally, the profile’s activity status will change to alert followers that quiet mode has been turned on. This update is one of several changes on Instagram today, including expanded parental control tools and other tools to manage recommendations. Its parental controls allow parents to filter out posts with specific words in their captions and hashtags. Instagram had already allowed users to filter out DMs with a self-made list of potentially harmful or offensive content. Still, the expanded filtering option will enable users to tailor their feeds more granularly than before.

While anyone can access this feature, the company said it would prompt teen users to enable it if they use the app late at night. Social media addiction is a behavioral disorder in which young adults become so addicted to social media and cannot reduce or cease their online media consumption despite clear negative consequences and severe drawbacks. According to CNN, US teens spend an average of more than seven hours per day on screen media for entertainment, and tweens spend nearly five hours, a new report finds, and that doesn’t include time spent using screens for school and homework.

Instagram is one of the world’s top social platforms, with at least 1.440 billion users worldwide as of July 2022. Quiet mode will initially be available in the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

The post Instagram Set to Debut New ‘Quiet Mode’ Feature appeared first on The Source.

Drake Pens Message On Instagram About Telling Truths

by

Drake recently shared a message on his Instagram story about how 2023’s the year for his truths. Moreover, he posted it in classic Drake fashion: the fancy Instagram font, a black screen, and an oddly cryptic message. While people might assume they’re about his fame, artistry, relationships, or advice, Drizzy has… a different idea, apparently.

“Gonna start using 2023 to tell you my truths,” the “Nice For What” MC began. “I have seen more staff and private bathrooms than anybody ever… whenever you are waiting in line to use the bathroom just know there’s an amazing clean private room that they refuse to show you.”

Now, your guess is as good as mine as to what that could mean. Moreover, is he literally talking about the fancy private bathroom, or is he practicing his bars for an upcoming single? Is the fancy private bathroom all the success they don’t want you to have?

Jokes aside, Drake’s cryptic message was laughed at but also respected, even envied by some. “Is dis rich people problems ? cuz if so i want em,” one user wrote. “[Too] rich for me to understand” another wrote, with a particularly skeptical fan writing “This is not about bathrooms.”

Still, the 6 God does have a lot of “truths” to talk about, whether it’s his success or his controversies. Most recently, he debuted his “Jumbotron S**t Poppin” video with $3.3 millions worth of Pharrell’s jewelry. While his commercial success in hip-hop and pop is practically undefeated, his cultural impact and status shouldn’t be questioned either.

However, his recent collab album with 21 Savage, Her Loss, got him as many accolades as it did criticism. Subliminal bars aimed at Megan Thee Stallion shook the rap world for some time, dividing many fans. Since then, much of that discussion had died down. Still there’s no denying that Drake has his fair share of things to address. Of course, he doesn’t need to, but I guess it’s up to him to decide what he’ll say this year.

What do you think of Drake’s odd Instagram message and his commitments to his “truths”? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, check back in with HNHH for the latest on the genre’s top dogs.

50 Cent Reacts To Flo Rida Winning Lawsuit, He Responds In Comments

by

50 Cent just shouted out Flo Rida for winning an $82 million lawsuit against Celsius Energy Drink after he claimed they owed him money and stock. From one hip-hop entrepreneur to the other, it seems a million dollars worth of game can take you up to 82 of those. Moreover, Flo even responded to 50’s IG post, which was a headline of the “Right Round” rapper’s victory.

“[Flo Rida] is a good dude Celsius was wrong and they are going to have to pay now,” Fif wrote. “I was only drinking it because Flo was involved. Money by monday!”

Furthermore, the Queens rapper is also celebrating his inclusion in Usher’s Lovers & Friends festival in May of this year. However, Flo’s unfortunately not scheduled to play. Still, he appreciated 50’s support in the comments section of his shout-out.

“Love you my brother,” the 43-year-old responded. “Always appreciated and a true inspiration to this situation in way you’ve accomplished in your ventures.”

Moreover, the “In Da Club” rapper is known for being one of hip-hop’s most prolific and successful businessmen. Readers may know his forays into television, which netted him both commercial success and cultural acclaim. Recently, he spoke on crossing his worlds over when Eminem and Snoop Dogg were on set for BMF.

However, back to Flo’s case, he just won a lot of money for Celsius’ breach of contract. Some attorneys from the case clarified what the victory means and exactly how this came about.

“He’s entitled to 500,000 shares of stock via the contract, and entitled to 250,000 shares of stock if certain things happen,” attorney John Uustal explained. “One of those yardsticks is that a certain number of units of products need to be sold, but unfortunately the contract doesn’t specify which type of unit—is it a box, is it a drink? And there’s no timeframe or deadline.”

What do you think of 50 Cent’s shoutout to Flo Rida’s victorious lawsuit and the Florida rapper‘s response? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, check back in with HNHH for the latest on the rap game’s most successful entrepreneurs.

Chrisean Rock Apologizes To Blueface While Detailing Mental Health Struggles

by

Chrisean Rock issued an apology to her family and Blueface after a public spat with Blue on Twitter.

On Wednesday, Chrisean Rock and Blueface hit each other with a series of insults following the backlash they faced from the latest episode of Crazy In Love. Chrisean Rock’s meeting with Blueface’s family nearly turned into a physical altercation between the rapper and his brother.

That’s when Chrisean accused Blueface of constantly dragging her down and neglecting her mental health.

Following their latest spat, Chrisean shared an alarming message candidly discussing her battle with depression. Firstly, she apologized to Blueface and her fans.

“I just need everyone to pray for me. I ran to social media for this cuz honestly I appreciate my fans n love to be very transparent. Hopefully, my darkness is someone’s light,” she wrote.

Chrisean further explained she’s suffered depression and attempted self-harm in the past, which she said caused her to distance herself from her family.

“I love God so much, I want [to] be in heaven so bad [and] I hate myself because maybe if I was better person, life wouldn’t Make me feel like dis,” she continued. “I neglect my mom my family sometimes cuz I keep telling myself I can be better. Once I’m better, I can love them but tbh it’s dark cloud over me it’s trynna consume me.”

She then acknowledged the effects that she began drinking more as a result of her depression and the significant media attention she’s received recently. Chrisean also admitted that drinking took a significant toll on her relationship with Blueface.

The rapper, who described himself as a “proud father,” applauded Chrisean for taking accountability for her actions.

“First step to fixing a problem is admitting you have one and reflecting on wrong decisions,” he wrote. “This is dope and best thing, no victim role here. This is accountability.”
