Ashanti Isn’t Here For Nelly’s Jokes About Her Pregnancy

Nelly and Ashanti are celebrating the latter’s pregnancy quite happily, but their engagement doesn’t mean that the future spouses can’t cross each other’s boundaries. Moreover, the two had a pretty funny Instagram Story exchange recently that had fans wondering whether things were as cheeky in person as they were online. To explain, the Country Grammar MC posted a picture of his boo sitting on his leg on Sunday (April 28) on his IG Story, captioning it: “Of course not beautiful I’m fine..!! Luv u2 @ashanti.” He seemed to insinuate that she was putting a strain on his leg, to which she had the following IG Story response in her repost: “Lmaoooooo!!!! Babe!!!! Ima knock u out!!!!!!”

From there, they started to joke about their history together, as well as engaging in a fair share of backtracking and explaining that anyone in a relationship can relate to. “What my love..??? I didn’t say anything..!! To me you still the same size you were in 2005..!!” Nelly responded to Ashanti’s clap-back. “Lmfaoooooooo!!!! Lemme go pull out these bikini shots from 05!!!” she replied.

Ashanti & Nelly’s Back & Forth

Elsewhere, the couple has spent a long time just living life and enjoying their company as pregnancy rumors ran rampant online. Finally, in an interview with Essence magazine that coincided with a partnered announcement of the upcoming birth and wedding, Ashanti expressed her excitement for this amazing chapter in her life. “This new year of my life is such a blessing full of love, hope and anticipation,” she remarked. “Motherhood is something that I have looked forward to, and sharing this with my family, fiancé, and loyal fans, who have been so supportive of my career, is an amazing experience.”

Meanwhile, the St. Louis rapper was recently the subject of some debate after a clip came out of him performing for a pretty empty stadium, save for some souls in the stands and in the pit. Folks couldn’t tell whether it was an actual concert or just a soundcheck for one, but it went viral regardless. No matter what it was, we’re sure that Nelly is happy to stick by Ashanti’s side and stay focused on their journey together over any sort of social media gossip. Let’s just see whether he holds his tongue the next time he thinks about speaking on his boo’s belly.

T.I. Teases Modern Trap Rappers In Stand-Up Comedy Set

T.I. wants to make it clear that he can be a funny guy too, and not just one of the pillars of trap music and Southern rap as a whole. Moreover, he recently appeared on BET’s revived series Comic View, and one particular clip from his stand-up set is gaining a lot of traction on social media. The Atlanta legend is well-known for his perspectives on contemporary hip-hop happenings, such as Killer Mike’s recent Grammys arrest. As such, it’s no surprise that he has some comical and light takes on trap music today, ones that a lot of folks seem to have resonated with.

“Listen, the first generation of trap music, people like me, Jeezy, Yo Gotti, you know what I’m saying?” T.I. remarked during his time onstage. “We were rapping about things we had done, got away with, and moved on. You hear me? You listen to [this] new age trap music? Oh, they are talking about s**t they finna do tomorrow, you feel what I’m saying?” The crowd erupted with laughter during these comments, and it was very interesting to see what elements of today’s hip-hop he finds funny.

T.I. Jokes About Today’s Trap Rappers: Watch

Not only that, but this adds to T.I.’s recent comments on the younger generation of rap artists on Shaquille O’Neal’s Big Podcast. “This generation reminds me of every other generation,” he expressed. “You got some people who are exceptionally dope, and some people who are just alright. You know what I mean? But it’s a lot more of it to choose from now. I feel that, actually, what they’ve done with music is equivalent to if they were to open up the doors of the arena and say, ‘Anybody think you can play basketball? Come on out the stands out here to the floor. Here you go, a jersey, man. Get in the game.’”

Elsewhere, the 43-year-old discussed the possibility of getting an ownership stake in a sports team one day. “So many of my contemporaries like Nelly, you know, he got a piece of Charlotte, and Usher’s got a piece of Cleveland,” he began. “You know, people be asking me, ‘Would I ever do it?’ And I don’t think I would, you know? Because I just can’t see me taking so much of my money, investing it in something, and I can’t do what the f**k I wanna do. I just can’t imagine that. I’m gonna put my money into something where I can dictate, and I can determine, the way it’s gonna go.” For more news and updates on T.I., keep checking in with HNHH.

YFN Lucci To Rekindle Love With Reginae Carter? Fans Joke She Should Go Back To Him After Arrest Update

In a busy day of hip-hop news, easily one of the biggest headlines was rapper YFN Lucci’s massive arrest update. After getting handed down charges for murder, gang, and racketeering charges in 2021, Lucci pleaded guilty to one count of violation of the Street Gang Terrorism and Prevention Act. All of the accumulated to 10 years in prison on top of an additional decade-long probation. However, Michael Seiden of WSB TV tweeted that only three and half months will be spent behind bars.

The rest of YFN Lucci’s sentence will be served by being on parole most likely. While that is some positive news for the indicted artist, it may be something for a former lover to keep an eye on. Lucci was formerly tied up with Lil Wayne’s daughter, Reginae Carter. It was a confusing relationship to follow when it was going on. Naturally, fans are already sending tweets in the direction of Reginae, joking around that she should rekindle things.

LeBron James Makes Bizarre French Montana Joke

LeBron James recently attended The 24 Hours of Le Mans, the iconic endurance race held in northwestern France. It was a historic race, coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the first-ever running of the race. Furthermore, it was won by AF Corse’s Ferrari 499P. It marked the first time a Ferrari had won Le Mans since 1965 in the manufacturer’s first race entry since 1973. The team completed 342 laps of the track, finishing about 90 seconds ahead of the second-place Toyota Gazoo Racing team.

There were plenty of famous faces at the race, which always draws big crowds and is considered the crown jewel of the FIA World Endurance Championship. Tom Brady was also in attendance before he went off to party with MrBeast. But it’s a bizarre joke made by the NBA superstar that has gotten people confused online.

A post shared by Our Generation Music (@ourgenerationmusic)

LeBron shared an image from his trip, originally posted by ESPN to his Instagram story, adding the caption “LeFrench Montana James!” The clip in question showed him speaking French. The problem is that the joke just isn’t very good. Firstly, French Montana is Moroccan by birth, not French. Without getting into it too much, there’s a lot of messiness between France and the countries it once colonized so low-key yikes there. Secondly, the joke is just really bad. LeFrench Montana James? That’s the best you could come up with for speaking French in France? Sure, LeBron is known for his corny humor at times. However, this attempt just feels weird.

Le Bron James is right there. As in “LeBrans”/”LeBrons” to give you a half-rhyme with “Le Mans”. “LeFrench Montana James” just feels like someone awkwardly trying to optimize their SEO. People weren’t impressed in the comments of the reshared post either. “He thought we were gonna laugh lmaooooo,” said one commenter. Bronny probably telling Bron to delete that corny ahh joke 😭,” added another. What did you think of LeBron’s joke? Let us know in the comments.

Lil Nas X Pokes Fun At People Complaining About Target’s Pride Month Products

When Target unveiled its new line of harmless Pride Month products, right-wing bigots everywhere threw a hissy fit to no one’s surprise, as if the company was forcing everyone to buy them at gunpoint. Even more unsurprising, somehow, was Lil Nas X’s humorous satire of the whole ordeal. Moreover, the superstar took to Twitter to let out a parody tweet imitating the backlash to people complaining about “the rainbow agenda” and “the woke mob” and what have you. Unfortunately, right-wing threats actually prompted the store to pull back on its campaign. Maybe they should take a page out of Montero’s book and see it for the ridiculous bawling that it is.

“Can’t believe target is supporting this nonsense” Lil Nas X tweeted. “I’m never shopping there again, my son is not “too cool for school” these shirts are ridiculous. He is going to school and he WILL learn.” Of course, this is far from the first time that the Georgia native made fun of overblown LGBTQIA+ backlash. Recently, he clapped back at Woah Vicky claiming that he’s faking his sexuality by referring to her as Ja Rule.

Lil Nas X Trolls People Mad At Target’s Pride Month Campaign

However, that’s not to imply that the “STAR WALKIN’” rapper and singer never faced some pushback of his own for seemingly insensitive comments. Last March, he tweeted: “where do the gays be in africa i wanna come there.” It’s unclear what intent he had in relaying such message, considering that Uganda had just passed destructive anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation that poses a serious threat to the community. Perhaps Lil Nas X wanted to invite people to express themselves regardless rather than blindly wondering where he could find them. No matter how you look at it, the message certainly didn’t land.

Meanwhile, that’s just one instance among many others where the 24-year-old championed freedom of sexuality. As such, it’s much easier for fans to take tweets like his Target parody with a healthier and more inclusive light, unless you’re one of the ones offended by it. Hopefully in the future he can make that distinction as clearly as he made it with this tweet rather than potentially underplay the issues communities face across the globe. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Lil Nas X.

Wiz Khalifa Responds To Jokes About His Feet With Poem

Wiz Khalifa has shared a poem addressing the recent jokes being made about his feet. The rapper had shared a photo from his studio boldly featuring his bare feet, prompting plenty of comments from fans. Khalifa shared the new poem, titled “Stop Making Jokes About My Feet,” on Saturday.

“’Sup y’all, it’s Wiz Khalifa here,” he opened the clip. “Been hearing a lot of talk on the internet. You know, I usually don’t address things, but I figured I would address it in this way because I like to express myself. And this is how I like to express myself. I wrote a little poem, it’s called, ‘Stop Making Jokes About My Feet.’”

As for the poem itself, it starts, “Stop making jokes about my feet, because that shit ain’t funny. Y’all keep making jokes about my feet, but bitch I got money. You ain’t gonna say it to my face, but you’ll talk about me when I’m gone. Your toes probably look like that, too, but you got nail polish on. When I seen all those tweets, you can’t imagine how I felt. I get pedicures but my feet still dry. So don’t laugh, send help. Stop talking about my feet, ‘cause that shit ain’t funny. Y’all keep making jokes about my feet, but bitch I got money.”

It continues: “When I log online I seen all types of disrespect, bunch of n****s talking shit. Not one nail tech. Talking crazy about Wiz Khalifa, like your shit so neat. Look down past your phone and take a picture of your own damn feet. Stop making jokes about my feet, because that shit ain’t funny. Y’all keep making jokes about my feet, but bitch I got money.”

The jokes come as Wiz made his acting debut in the new film, Spinning Gold. The film follows Casablanca Records founder Neil Bogart and features Wiz as George Clinton.

“Family Guy” Joke About Nipsey Hussle Resurfaces: Twitter Reacts

Before the era of cancel culture emerged, Family Guy stood as one of the few shows that pushed the boundaries as far as possible. Evidently, the showrunners aren’t afraid to touch on any subject matter. Unfortunately, the late Nipsey Hussle became a target in a 2021 episode, which resurfaced earlier today.

Just a few years following Nip’s death, Family Guy threw shade at the rapper in a 2021 episode. “Young Parent Trap” from season 19 aired in April 2021. During the episode, Chris discusses plans to attend a festival with his parents. He then provides Lois and Peter with more information regarding the concert, including hologram performances from two late West Coast legends.

“They’re gonna have holograms of 2Pac and also Nipsey Hussle, who I’d never heard of and then was told to care immensely about,” Chris says.

The comments led to a flurry of responses. Some people felt as though Family Guy tried to slander Nipsey Hussle. However, many looked at it as a jab toward those who only began showing love to Nip after his passing. Those who defended the joke suggested that Family Guy’s had worse jokes in the past compared to the slight towards Nipsey Hussle. 

One person agreed with the TV show’s assessment of Nipsey Hussle. 

“I didn’t know who the hell Nipsey Hussle was till he got shot and was all over my damn timeline,” one fan wrote. “So I definitely get the joke and I don’t see how it’s out of pocket. Have y’all seen Family Guy??”

Overall, it seems like people feel as thought the backlash isn’t warranted. Still, a lot of fans weren’t happy over the disrespect towards Nipsey’s legacy. 

Whitney Houston Estate “Disappointed” In Jerrod Carmichael’s Golden Globes Joke

The estate of Whitney Houston has responded to Jerrod Carmichael’s controversial joke referencing the late singer from the Golden Globes. In a statement provided to TMZ, they said that the joke was “in poor taste.”

As for what Carmichael said, he joked: “So, we are here, live, from the hotel that killed Whitney Houston, the Beverly Hilton.”

“The Whitney Houston Estate is disappointed in the joke, and felt it was in poor taste,” the responding statement reads.

Houston accidentally drowned in a bathtub at the Beverly Hilton hotel in 2012. At the time, the Los Angeles County Coroner’s Office cited drowning and the “effects of atherosclerotic heart disease and cocaine use” as the cause of her death.

The estate weren’t the only ones unhappy with Carmichael’s joke. Users on Twitter criticized the comedian as well.

One wrote: “I didn’t like that Whitney Houston joke at all. That was so tasteless and disrespectful to her.”

Another agreed: “Pls never hire this guy again. Horrible host.”

Houston wasn’t the only celebrity that Carmichael referenced while hosting the event. He also targeted Tom Cruise and the Church of Scientology with one of his jokes.

“Backstage, I found these three Golden Globe awards that Tom Cruise returned,” he remarked. “I think maybe we take these three things and exchange them for the safe return of Shelly Miscavige.”

Miscavige is a member of the Church of Scientology; however, she hasn’t made a public appearance since 2007. She’s married to Scientology leader David Miscavige.

Druski Admits He’s Afraid Of NBA YoungBoy

Druski admitted that he’s afraid of NBA YoungBoy during an interview with Middleman Media on Thursday. The comedian had interacted with the rapper back in October after one of his jokes didn’t go over well.

“[I was] nervous as hell. I ain’t gon lie to you,” Druski said, as noted by HipHopDX. “YoungBoy one of them ones. He put that fear in your heart for real. He don’t play that bullshit.”

“I ain’t even seen him in person yet. That gun big. Them bullets big,” he responded. “You ain’t ever heard that saying: ‘You can be in the gym all day, you still gon’ get hit with this .40’? Knock yo’ ass back!”

Druski had gotten in trouble with YoungBoy when he joked about his fiancée, Jazlyn Mychelle. Commenting on an Instagram post of her, he wrote, “Bitch look like me.”

YoungBoy’s label, Never Broke Again LLC, replied “@druski this why y’all n****s be dying.” The two then interacted on Instagram Live, later in the week.

“Ah look, you got me on here! Don’t get to playing! Don’t make the joke outta me bruh,” YoungBoy said.

Druski responded, “I wanted you to join Coulda Been Records!”

The back and forth came just a month after YoungBoy and Jazlyn Mychelle welcomed their second child together. The birth brought the rapper’s total number of children to 10.

Druski is currently preparing to embark on his “Coulda Woulda Shoulda Tour.” He’ll be taking his comedic talents to New York, Miami, Chicago, Atlanta, and more throughout the spring. He previously performed as an opener on J. Cole’s “The Off-Season Tour” in 2021.
