Queen Naija Regrets “Adding Fat To Her Butt,” Says She’s Scared Of A Reduction

by

Whether they admit it or not, when many people come into money, one of the first things they do is make cosmetic alterations to their appearance. From buccal fat removal to BBLs, the changes one can make are endless – though not all of them end up being worthwhile. In Queen Naija’s case, she went under the knife to fix a few insecurities and came out of the procedure with even more.

Recently, the R&B songstress was asked about her regrets. After a long pause, she admits, “I’m scared to say this” before hesitating again. Finally, she reveals that having fat added to her butt is one thing she wouldn’t do again.

“You wish you never did it?” a male voice in the video asks Naija. “Like not as much,” the 27-year-old explains. “I didn’t think it was gonna do that much, should’ve just gotten like the tummy tuck and some shots.”

In the comment section, several users were quick to point out the recurring narrative that BBLs are going out of style. Additionally, other mentioned that if it bothers her significantly, she can always get a removal down the road. However, according to the vocalist, the thought of another surgery is enough for her to live with her regrets.

“I hated my hip dips and c-section belly,” she wrote in the comments of @theneighborhoodtalk’s post. “Now I dislike how all my weight gain goes to my booty and hips. Either way, I disliked something.”

She went on, “Can’t be perfect y’all [shrug emoji]. I would get it reduced but the risk of getting put to sleep again is scary.”

Naija’s confession earned plenty of supportive responses, with many users telling her that regular workouts should help solve her problem.

Stephanie Sibounheuang talked about the circumstances of life after his death during an Instagram Live session.

“No, he did not have life insurance,” she said. “No, he did not have a will. We didn’t have nothing set up. We’re so young, we don’t plan on death.

“I don’t even get death benefits, I don’t get nothing, and I’m not gonna ask nobody for nothing,” Stephanie explained. Moreover, she also took a chance to talk about her personal process. “I have that personality and I’m working on that. I’m trying to, you know, empty myself of my ego and my pride because I’m not gonna ask nobody for nothing.”

Meanwhile, Sibounheuang broke her silence on her boyfriend’s murder just a couple of months ago. Moreover, she recounted how he pushed her under the table during the shooting to save her from danger. From what she said in the recent IG clip, she likely feels incredibly fortunate for the help considering her perspective.

“I don’t care. I could be on fire and I’m not even gonna ask you to spit on me,” she continued. “I’m trying to stop being like that, but God, he’s been making the way, he’s been making the way. I’m so grateful, I’m so grateful for y’all.”

Whether outside of the rap world or within it, PnB Rock is cherished and celebrated. A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie recently opened up to Billboard about how his friend’s passing affected him.

Gangsta Boo’s Partner Says He Discovered The News Of Her Death Through Instagram

by

It’s only been two weeks since 2023 kicked off with some terrible news. On New Year’s Day, Gangsta Boo passed away at the age of 43. The news was confirmed by an Instagram post from her Three 6 Mafia collaborator, DJ Paul. The official cause of death is still unclear. However, it’s believed to be from a drug overdose.

The hip-hop world remembers her for her monumental work as a pioneer for women in Southern hip-hop. At just 15 years old, she joined Three 6 Mafia and makes appearances on the group’s first five studio albums. She subsequently paved the way for more women in the scene.

In a recent interview with ABC24 News, her partner, Emmet Flores, talks about how he found about her passing. He says he was watching football on New Year’s Day when someone on Instagram actually hit him up to inform him of the news.

Additionally, he says they were just talking over the phone the night prior. “I was just talking to her the night before. She performed with 8Ball and MJG, and I told her I loved her. I told her be safe. She sent me a picture of us on New Year’s from 2017 and I sent a picture back,” he recalls.

Elsewhere in the interview, Flores reveals that one of the couple’s favorite things to do together was praying under the moon. “We would pray together under the moon.. a lot of stuff surrounding love and light and just pray for the well-being of one another. You know, figure, if you’re praying with love, then you know, what could be wrong?” he says.

The “Where Dem Dollas At” rapper was known to live a rather private life, but her and Flores had allegedly been together since 2014.

The Memphis native’s final release before her untimely death was her appearance on Latto‘s single, “FTCU.” Also featuring GloRilla, the track finds Gangsta Boo uniting with two of this generation’s most talented rappers.

Furthermore, it interpolates Three 6 Mafia’s classic 1995 hit, “Tear Da Club Up.” In October of last year, Boo also teamed up with R&B singer Hannah Monds for “Big Momma.”

Mindy Kaling’s “Velma” Series Criticized For Sexualizing Teenage Characters

by

For many, Scooby-Doo undoubtedly remains a nostalgic childhood favourite well into adulthood. Even the old school cartoons can conjure up a laugh or a smile when you need it, but of course, Hollywood couldn’t help but give the franchise the prequel treatment. Earlier this month, The Office actress Mindy Kaling premiered her Velma series. So far, though, the critics seem to be giving it two thumbs down.

The first two episodes of the adult animated series landed on Hulu and Crave earlier this week. While the mother of two is on double duty as the executive producer and voice of the titular character, she’s also joined by a star-studded lineup. Sam Richardson brings to life the first Black Shaggy, while Constance Wu plays Daphne Blake.

Additionally, we hear from familiar voices like Glenn Howerton, Debby Ryan, Shay Mitchell, Jane Lynch, and even NBA star Karl-Anthony Towns.

The series certainly sounds as though it has everything necessary to succeed, so where did they go wrong? According to Twitter users, the hyper-sexualization of high school characters is obviously a big red flag.

Various videos circulating online show clips from Velma. In one of them, a group of teenage girls are in the locker room, their figures obviously emphasized to attract attention. “These are supposed to be high school girls,” one frustrated user says from behind the camera in their Twitter post.

While Kaling’s series is on a different streamer, some are comparing it to the Netflix Original Big Mouth. Created by Nick Kroll, that project has earned a lot of backlash for similar reasons as it follows middle schoolers, specifically on their journey through puberty.

“STOP HATE WATCHING ‘VELMA’ OR WE’LL END UP WITH 8 MORE SEASONS LIKE ‘BIG MOUTH,” one social media user pleaded. Another wrote, “Everyone can tell [the show is] awful, but nobody can articulate why… It’s like it was intentionally designed to annoy everyone equally.”

Keep scrolling further for more Twitter reactions to Mindy Kaling’s Velma. Afterward, let us know in the comments if you plan to tune into the new series.

Tony Yayo Reflects On Studio Sessions With Ye, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent & Eminem

by

Tony Yayo recently sat down for a sprawling interview with DJ Vlad. During the pair’s lengthy chat, the 44-year-old dishes on a number of pop culture and hip-hop topics.

In one of the clips, he talks about being in the studio with a number of high-profile names. This evidently includes fellow G-Unit rapper 50 Cent, but also Dr. Dre, Ye and Eminem.

During part of the sit-down, Yayo talks about the famous back-and-forth between 50 Cent and Kanye in 2007. On March September 11 that year, both artists dropped their respective third studio albums. 50’s Curtis and Kanye’s Graduation subsequently went head-to-head on the charts in a battle for the game’s most popular rapper at the time. Of course, the Chicago native came out on top, selling nearly one million copies in its first week.

“I’ve been in the studio with Kanye a couple of times. I remember him coming to Dre’s studio, ’cause everybody used to come to Dre’s studio. See, that’s why I’m so appreciative, ’cause those experiences for me, I would never forget. Forget the cars.. to be in the studio with Dr. Dre and Eminem, that was my dream,” reveals Yayo.

Another rapper he’s spent time with in the studio is Eminem. “Then we in the studio in Detroit.. it’s cold as a b*tch, we out there with Eminem. This [is] f*ckin’ Eminem, this dude just sold 16 million records. We used to go to L.A. with Dre and then we’d go mess with Em,” reflects the New York native.

Ultimately, it certainly seems as though Yayo is reflecting back on these experiences with gratitude. “That’s why I’m so humble, because my dreams came true, man. I might not have as much cars, chains and b*tches as any other rappers [but] it’s not about that. It’s about the experience, man,” says the 44-year-old.

Elsewhere in the interview, the G-Unit rapper shares his thoughts on Tory Lanez going to jail. “I mean, it could be rough. People are not used to the conditions. You nobody, you just a number. They gon’ make you feel like you’re not R. Kelly or Bill Cosby, they tryna make you feel like you just a number, and that’s what you are, just like everybody else,” he says on his own personal experiences behind bars.

What do you think about Yayo reminiscing on these legendary studio sessions? Comment below. Finally, makes sure to stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest news and stories.

Logan Paul Apologizes For CryptoZoo Failure, Plans To Give Out Refunds

by

In 2021, Logan Paul officially launched his NFT-game, CryptoZoo. It’s “an autonomous ecosystem that allows ZooKeepers to buy, sell, and trade exotic animals and hybrids. CryptoZoo incorporates cryptocurrency and Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs) into a simple, fun game with familiar mechanics.” Of course, this is according to a since-deleted description on its official site.

Paul is responsible for selling images of animal NFTs within the game. He’s also responsible for subsequently telling players that they’d be able to hatch them and breed the animals. In doing so, they’d be able to win coins in a cryptocurrency called $ZOO.

However, later in 2021, YouTuber Coffeezilla put out a docu-series on his channel as an attempt to expose the game as non-functional. After making millions through the sales of NFTs within CryptoZoo, it seemed as though the podcaster had abandoned the project completely. This is because he seemed to have stopped mentioning it. As a result, many were left to believe it was a scam.

After facing public criticism for CryptoZoo ever since, the new WWE wrestler is finally addressing the situation. He does so in a video posted to his Twitter account on Friday (January 13). He begins by denouncing his attitude towards Coffeezilla’s accusations and denies scamming anyone through the game.

“That’s what I’d do if I was him; milk the sh*t out of this. He’s probably going to, he’s good, he’s very good. The more he says and the more he continues to spread this misinformation that this was any sort of con or scam, the more I have for the lawsuit that I am filing,” he initially said in response on an episode of his podcast, Impaulsive.

In his new update, however, he goes on to detail his plans to give back $1.3 million in rewards. This will go to players who ultimately feel disappointment in the game. “Step 1, Jeff and I are going to burn our ZooTokens, so we have no financial upside in the game and it will add value to holder tokens. Step 2, we want to offer a rewards program for players who are disappointed in the status of the game, so essentially, you’re gonna be able to burn your base egg or your base animal for the mint price, which was 0.1ETH or the equivalent in BNB,” says the 27-year-old.

“I am personally committing 1,000 ETH to this, which is about $1.3 million right now, for players who want to get out. Step 3, obviously finish and deliver the game, as outlined in the white paper by completing the egg bridge from ETH to BSC for base animals and base eggs, completing the marketplace and obviously, completing the release your animals into the wild, to accrue your yield function,” he continues afterwards.

Paul says there is currently an internal investigation going on. He plans to pursue legal action against “whomever needs to be held accountable.” It will certainly be interesting to hear the findings.

Moneybagg Yo Says He Doesn’t Have Management

by

Moneybagg Yo is quickly becoming one of the most popular rappers in the game. Thanks to his hard-hitting sound and several hit songs, he continues to put on for the South’s booming scene.

During a recent brief interview, however, he surprisingly reveals that he doesn’t even have a management team.

During the Rap Snacks Disrupt Event, hip-hop media personality Supa Cindy asked the 31-year-old how he chooses what to participate in on the business side of his career.

“At this moment, I really don’t have management, you know what I’m sayin’? I feel like my team, CMG, Ellis and Bread Gang, all of us align together and we make things happen. And we make it look good, look at where we’re at now, you know what I’m sayin’? So at this point in time, unfortunately I don’t, but you know, it is what it is,” reveals the “Time Today” rapper.

Regardless, the 31-year-old has certainly been seeing plenty of success lately. Yo Gotti signed Moneybagg to his label, Collective Music Group (CMG) in 2016. Just last year, the team dropped their first compilation mixtape, Gangsta Art. Moneybagg makes several appearances on the 27-track project. This includes two of the most popular songs, “Steppers” and his solo track, “See Wat I’m Sayin.”

Of course, the Memphis native is still fresh off the release of his newest single, “On Wat U On.” Featuring GloRilla, the track finds the two CMG signees going back and forth in the format of a couple arguing.

Additionally, it seems as though the “Wockesha” rapper is gearing up to drop another project. Last Sunday (January 8), he took to his social media accounts to begin teasing a new 22-track tape. His last album, A Gangsta’s Pain, arrived in 2021. “My Album Is A Heartless Edition Hope Y’all Ready,” he writes in his tweet.

Kim Kardashian “Hates” Kanye West’s New Wife Bianca Censori According To Insider

by

When your past and your present overlap, sometimes it’s not as easy to reconcile as you might want. According to insider reports, Kim Kardashian has a strong dislike towards Kanye West’s new wife, Bianca Censori. Moreover, she’s an architectural designer at Yeezy HQ who West married in a private ceremony.

“Kim hates her,” said an insider. Sources claimed that she’s “hated” her for a long time, yet the reason is unknown. Allegedly, people working at Yeezy HQ knew that the reality TV star didn’t like Censori. Furthermore, we don’t know how much of this is just a personal issue or if there were more serious fears at play. “She’s pretty. And Kim hates pretty girls,” added a source.

Of course, without any sign from Kim herself, this is all just speculative. However, given the Chicago rapper’s recent rhetoric and behavior, it’s not shocking to hear rumors of more conflict. Back to Censori, according to Page Six, she has a master’s degree in architecture and has worked at the company for several years. Still, it seems Kanye’s particularly fond of architecture, as he redesigned plenty of buildings with his team.

TMZ reported Friday that the Yeezy boss married Bianca in a private ceremony. Although they reportedly did not get a marriage certificate to legalize the union, they both wore wedding rings on an outing. Moreover, onlookers recently spotted the two on what seemed to be a date at the Waldorf Astoria in Beverly Hills.

While Ye’s harmful comments distanced him from the mainstream, don’t think that he’s fully slowed down. In December, he released the non-streaming track “Censori Overload” or “Someday We’ll All Be Free.” In it, he raps “And the Bible said, ‘I can’t have any more sex ’til marriage.”

Meanwhile, Daily Mail reported that the couple’s honeymoon was at the Amangiri resort in Utah’s Grand Circle of National Parks and Monuments last week. Moreover, this news comes two months after Ye and Kim finalized their divorce.

What do you think about Kim Kardashians alleged “hate” for Kanye West’s new wife, Bianca Censori? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, stay logged in to HNHH for the latest reported celebrity beef and updates in the Kim and Ye saga.

Donald Trump Ordered To Pay $1.6 Million In Tax Fraud Case

by

Donald Trump is evidently no stranger to controversies or legal battles. The 76-year-old is gearing up to make another run at Presidency in 2024. However, he’s found himself in yet another criminal case.

On Friday (January 13), a New York judge ordered two of his companies to pay up in a criminal tax fraud case. Although the payment is only $1.6 million, this is the maximum that state rules allow.

Furthermore, Ilya Marritz, who was covering the trial for NPR, says it’s really not a lot of money for these crimes.

“At trial, prosecutors showed that executives working for Trump engaged in a wide variety of maneuvers to evade local, state and federal taxes over more than a decade. And many of those tricks also benefited the Trump business. One executive got an apartment and cars and private school tuition, all undeclared, off the books. That meant Trump didn’t have to raise that executive’s wages for many years, and the Trump business also skirted payroll and Medicare taxes,” he says.

The former President and his legal team say they are preparing to appeal the case’s verdict.

Of course, Trump officially left office in 2021, following President Joe Biden‘s victory in the 2020 election. However, he initially fought against his loss, claiming he had in fact won. He subsequently filed lawsuits alleging that election fraud took place.

Regardless, the new conviction will likely not impact his hopeful run of becoming President again. “That’s equivalent to about $25 to Donald Trump. He probably spends more at McDonalds,” says political commentator, Scottie Hughes in response to the verdict.

What do you think about the ordered payment? Comment your thoughts down below. Finally, make sure you stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest updates and news.

50 Cent Weighs In On Gabrielle Union Cheating On Her First Husband: “This Is Hoe Sh*t”

by

50 Cent has certainly never been afraid to speak his mind and is no stranger to controversy.

The Queens native is expected to release new music some time this year. However, 50 also continues to make headlines for his antics and personality.

The “In Da Club” rapper recently sat down for an interview with radio personality Big Boy. During their conversation, he decides to share his thoughts on Gabrielle Union’s recent comments. She admits to cheating on her first husband and offers an explanation as to why.

“Do you think that she looks at a man, if he’s not bringing in more than her, that he should be under whatever?” he questions. “For just sayin’, I was the breadwinner, like, making more money, so now he should just go with whatever I say, until what? She goes find something she likes?” questions the “Candy Shop” rapper.

“This is really what we’re talking about, this is hoe sh*t, man. This is the mentality of someone who’s a hoe. Because [she’s] saying, ‘if you got the bigger bag, then I’ll listen. But if their bag ain’t right, I’m out.’ That’s hoe talk,” 50 continues afterwards.

Of course, the actress is responsible for stirring up some controversies due to some recent comments. While appearing on Dax Shepard‘s podcast, Armchair Expert, Union says her and her ex-husband, Chris Howard, used to cheat on each other. During the pair’s conversation, she reflects on her behavior.

“I just felt entitled to it as well. I was paying all the bills, I was working my ass off and I felt like, that’s what comes with the spoils of riches. And, like my dad before me, whoever has the most gets to do whatever the hell they want, is what I thought. It was just dysfunctional from day one,” Union explains in a clip from the chat.

Union and Howard split in 2005. The Bad Boys II actress is now married to former NBA star Dwayne Wade. They married in 2014 and their daughter, Kaavia James, was subsequently born in 2018.
