Footage from a Nevada court proceeding shows a man attcacking a female judge after she denies his lawyer’s request for probation.
30-year-old Deobra Delone Redden jumped over the judge’s podium to attack Judge Mary Kay Holthus on Wednesday(January 3) after Judge Holthus denied his probation request during his aggravated battery with substantial bodily harm sentencing hearing. Due to Redden’s criminal history, the judge said that he needed to ne put behind bars.
The Las Vegas District Zcourt issued a statement about the incident saying, “We commend the heroic acts of her staff, law enforcement, and all others who subdued the defendant. The court remains committed to a safe and secure courthouse and courtrooms. We are reviewing all our protocols and will do whatever is necessary to protect the judiciary, the public, and our employees.”
Post Malone’s live shows have developed a must-see reputation over the years. The rapper and singer’s versatile talent makes for a show with impressive variety throughout. He also has a roster of hits than can hold up to almost anyone and is no stranger about pulling them all out at shows. That’s why it’s no surprise that Posty got booked for a New Year’s event and a pretty special one at that.
The “Chemical” hitmaker took the stage at one of Las Vegas’ most notable new venues, The Fontainebleau. The stage is as brand new as they come, having celebrated its grand opening just a few weeks ago in mid-December. It’s also a relatively small space for an artist of Malone’s caliber, seating less than 4000 people. He played a 90-minute set that concluded with him ringing in the new year alongside pyrotechnics, confetti, and cheering fans. Check out some clips of the performance below.
Earlier this year, Post Malone found himself at the center of some nasty drama. He was accused of being physically and verbally abusive to an ex-girlfriend. When the accusations were made public her lawyers claimed that they had proof of the alleged incidents which ended up being text messages. That caused Malone to take legal action of his own against the lawyers who made the claim a few months later. Developments in the legal proceedings have come pretty slowly in the months since.
Earlier this year, Post Malone shared his new album AUSTIN. The album was preceded by two hit songs “Chemical” and “Mourning.” The tracks have raced up more than 300k and 100k streams respectively. The album received mixed reviews from critics upon its release in in July. Subsequently, a few deep cuts like “Something Real” and “Speedometer” have emerged as fan favorites. What do you think of the clips of Post Malone’s New Year’s performance? Who would you want to see perform in the intimate new venue? Let us know in the comment section below.
T-Pain is someone who is a legend in the music world. Although he was disrespected early on, he is indeed a pioneer. He is an incredible singer and his use of autotune only helped enhance his music. It was always an aesthetic choice to add texture, as opposed to a crutch. Unfortunately, some never got that memo and denigrated him. However, for those with a bit more sense, Pain is rightfully considered as one of those artists worthy of the utmost respect. Without him, some of your favorite records and artists would not exist.
2024 is going to be an exciting year for the artist, as well as his fans. Last night, he announced that he is getting his very own Las Vegas residency. Overall, it seems like more and more artists are getting these. They are a great way to showcase your legacy, and Pain seems very excited. “Full speed towards 2024,” he wrote. “I’m proud to officially announce that I’m kicking off my FIRST EVER Vegas residency at @zoukgrouplv and @ayudayclub Catch my very first show on Thu, Feb 8 at #ZoukNightclub – Tickets are live, join me for a ride you won’t forget.”
Furthermore, Pain got to speak with ABC 13 where he explained just how excited he is for the new chapter of his career. “2024 is going to be a great year,” T-Pain explained. “I’ve been fortunate to have an amazing career and I’ve always dreamed of having a residency of my own. I’ve got some special surprises up my sleeve so Vegas, let’s turn up!” This is an incredible opportunity for the artist, and we cannot wait to see some clips from the upcoming performances.

Back in October, Britney Spears put the cap on a turbulent era of her life and career when she shared her long-awaited memoir The Women In Me with fans. The book gave her die-hards a peek behind the curtain into her personal life while at the height of her fame. While some were hoping for more scathing details in regards to her conservatorship and the #FreeBritney movement, the memoir certainly isn’t lacking for drama.
In The Woman In Me, Britney makes some major revelations about her relationship with Justin Timberlake. Some are more light-hearted like the fact that he switched up his accent around different people to try and sound cool. But others were more serious, in particular those revolving around their relationship. Timberlake’s reported infidelity and breaking up with Spears via text didn’t sit well with fans. Neither did the fact that Timberlake got her pregnant which led to a secret abortion. Britney describes it as an excruciating process. In the wake of the memoir’s release, hate from Britney fans was so intense that Timberlake had to disable comments on his Instagram. But now for the first time, the singer has made any kind of acknowledgement of the memoir.
According to TMZ, Justin Timberlake made a subtle nod to the controversy during a recent performance in Las Vegas. He was gearing up to perform his massive hit song “Cry Me A River” which is famously about the alleged infidelity that brought down his relationship with Spears. He very briefly mentioned that the song came with “no disrespect” before starting his performance. While the crowd doesn’t seem to have any massive reaction to his specific comments, fans online did.
Unsurprisingly, Timberlake isn’t out of the woods yet with Britney fans. “The whole song and video is disrespect” one fan points out in the comments of a repost on twitter. What do you think of Justin Timberlake’s subtle acknowledgement of Britney’s memoir in a recent performance? Let us know in the comment section below.
Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign had a big night planned in Las Vegas. Overall, they were going to come through and showcase their new album, Vultures. Fans were expecting the project to drop as soon as midnight struck. Of course, that has not taken place. Instead, the album is nowhere to be found, and the rave stream was a bit of a disaster. Sure, we got to hear some new songs, but as you are about to see, fans did not get what they bargained for. Instead, they had to wait for a featured artist on the album to save the day.
Essentially, according to the Twitter account Kurrco, the rave was shut down by the authorities. It is unclear as to why this was the case, however, it happened, and fans were pretty upset about it. Luckily, Lil Durk was ready with a spot for all of the artists to congregate at. No one knows where this place was, although we do know that the stream of it was titled “Vultures City.” It was here that we got to hear a ton of new song previews from some extremely massive artists.
Among some of the features on the album are Playboi Carti, Quavo, Lil Wayne, Lil Durk, Rich The Kid, and even Future. Furthermore, we already know that Lil Baby, Freddie Gibbs, and North West will also appear on the album. These are some massive features, and we’re sure there are more coming our way. However, it still remains to be seen if the album will even come out today. Donda came out on a Sunday back in 2021, so you never really know. Hopefully, we get some clarity, very soon.
Let us know your thoughts on the listening party situation, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the music world. We will be sure to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming releases.
Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign are gearing up for the release of their new joint album, Vultures. As they approach the release, they’ve been previewing the project at some listening events, most recently giving fans a taste of what’s to come in Miami. They’re scheduled to preview the album in Las Vegas next, and it seems as though fans outside of Vegas will be able to stream it.
A flyer featuring some cryptic hints about the event has been making its way around Twitter recently, and fans have made their own inferences about what it could mean. One account shared their own interpretation of the flyer, suggesting that the event would take place yesterday (December 13). That clearly didn’t happen, however, calling some of their other interpretations into question.
Regardless, fans are now speculating that the event will take place tonight, and be streamed on Yeezy.com. For now, this is unconfirmed, as is mostly everything in the world of Ye. Vultures was expected to drop this Friday (December 15), but that could also be up in the air. A few days ago, a pre-save link for the album appeared on Apple Music, but it has now disappeared, according to NFR Podcast. This latest development has led to rumors that the album will be delayed, which doesn’t appear to be out of the question considering the Chicago-born artist’s history. Regardless, fans are looking forward to seeing what he and Ty have in store for them.
Aside from the potential upcoming release, Ye also recently launched a new website. The site, Yews.News, features various articles pertaining to politics and current affairs. It even highlights a piece about Doritos launching a new Nacho-flavored spirit with Empirical. Are you hoping that Kanye West comes through with a listening event tonight? Are you looking forward to his new joint album with Ty Dolla Sign, Vultures? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Taking up residency has become more and more common among major music artists. It’s also getting more relevant as a handful of particular shows have made some major waves this year. Adele’s series of shows have featured some memorable fan interactions and plenty of high-profile celebrities in attendance But it’s been nothing compared to Usher, whose shows have attracted all kinds of celebs from the world of music, film, and sports.
One of the biggest celebrity dramas of the year happened during one of Usher’s shows. Video made the rounds online of Keke Palmer at the show interacting with Usher himself. Her boyfriend Darius Jackson took issue with the interaction on social media calling out Keke for her choice of attire.
