French Montana Blamed By Police For Miami Shooting

by

On Thursday night (January 5), reports indicate that there was a shooting on the set of a music video. It was seemingly for French Montana and Rob49‘s new collab, “Igloo.”

Although, the “No Stylist” rapper says the event was instead just a celebration for his latest album, Coke Boys 6. 10 people were shot, including Rob49 himself and Montana’s bodyguard, who is reportedly in critical condition.

However, police are now blaming the 38-year-old for what transpired. Miami Gardens Police Chief, Delma Noel-Pratt says event organizers didn’t obtain the necessary permits. This is reportedly a violation of city policy.

“If the necessary agencies were notified ahead of time and protocol followed, police officers would have been in place to safeguard the community and assist with deterring and responding, if needed, to any situation that may arise,” says Noel-Pratt.

Furthermore, footage obtained by TMZ allegedly shows the Morocco native and others taking to a nearby KFC restaurant for cover. They reportedly stayed inside for 30-40 minutes, until cops arrived at the scene.

On Friday (January 6), the “Unforgettable” rapper took to his Twitter account to make a statement. Notably, he doesn’t mention anything about filming a music video. “Last night, I was in Miami celebrating the release of my CB6 mixtape w/ friends at a local restaurant. We unfortunately were at the wrong place, at the wrong time when an incident took place that left people hurt. Our thoughts & prayers are w/ the victims & families at this time,” writes Montana.

Of course, the sixth instalment of the Coke Boys series did release yesterday (January 6). It boasts features from the likes of Kodak Black, Benny The Butcher, Stove God Cooks and more. DJ Drama takes care of the hosting duties, making it an official Gangsta Grillz mixtape. The Money Heist Edition also dropped, which contains nine extra songs.

TMZ also reports that all of the victims are expected to survive. Finally, make sure to stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest updates.

Prince Harry Admits “Bigoted” Behaviour Before Meeting Meghan Markle

by

Some argue that the monarchy is an entirely dated concept. Still, though, Britain’s Royal Family has spent an abundance of time in the headlines as of late. Following the emotional death of Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle dropped some bombshells in their Netflix docuseries at the end of 2022.

From the Suits actress’ confession that she didn’t feel as though anyone treated her “like a Black woman” until she moved to the UK to her friendship with Beyoncé, the six-episode project covers plenty of content. However, it didn’t get through everything the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had to say. Especially not the former, who’s been spilling plenty of juicy tea about his family in recent weeks.

Ahead of his Spare memoir, Prince Harry has been making rounds on the press circuit, discussing the upcoming book. Recently, he joined Anderson Cooper on 60 Minutes to discuss his work and upbringing. In the interview, the father of two reflects on the racism his wife faced from the British media.

Surprisingly, he had a personal realization to share with listeners at the same time. According to Haz, he, too, may have walked through life with racist feelings prior to meeting Markle.

“I had no idea the British press were so bigoted. Hell, I was probably bigoted before the relationship with Meghan,” he tells Cooper. Later, when asked how the American star has changed him, he sweetly said, “Put it this way. I didn’t see what I now see.”

While he’s clearly got all the praise for Markle, Harry’s older brother, Prince William hasn’t been getting as much love. According to Page Six, the younger royal takes a jab at the future King’s rapid hair loss in Spare. Apparently, he describes it as “alarming.”

Elsewhere in the book, the 38-year-old describes his sibling as his “archnemesis,” also breaking down a physical altercation they had during a confrontation about the former’s wife.

Read what Meghan Markle had to say about her friendship with Beyoncé in her and Harry’s Netflix docuseries here. Afterward, tell us if you plan to read the Prince’s forthcoming memoir (due out January 10) in the comments.

Donald Trump Facing $10M Lawsuit For Capitol Cop’s 2021 Death

by

Some good news on the two-year anniversary of the January 6th US Capitol riots. Former President Donald Trump is now facing a substantial lawsuit as a result of his actions on that fateful day. Specifically, he’s being sued by the family of the late Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick.

As Complex notes, the victim passed away in January 2021. He suffered two strokes following the riots that came as a result of Trump’s failed second presidential run. In April of that year, the USCP released a statement regarding Sicknick’s death. At the time, they noted that they accepted the findings from D.C.’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. Ultimately, reports say that the officer died of natural causes.

“This does not change the fact Officer Sicknick died in the line of duty, courageously defending Congress and the Capitol,” their aforementioned commentary says. “The Department continues to mourn the loss of our beloved colleague. The attack on our officers, including Brian, was an attack on our democracy.”

Earlier this week, the late man’s longtime partner, Sandra Garza, said in the lawsuit that Sicknick’s death was “a direct and foreseeable consequence” of Trump’s own words. Additionally, Julian Elie Khater and George Pierre Tanios’s names are in reports for allegedly assaulting the now-deceased policeman. They apparently attacked him with spray at the time.

“As a direct and foreseeable consequence of Defendant Trump’s false and incendiary allegations of fraud and theft, and in direct response to Defendant Trump’s express calls for violence at the rally, a violent mob attacked the U.S. Capitol,” the complaint against The Apprentice star reads.

“Many participants in the attack have since revealed that they were acting on what they believed to be Defendant Trump’s direct orders in service of their country.”

The suit requests that the court grant relief against the former POTUS and other defendants. Documents ask that everyone “individually pay actual money damages of not less than $10,000,000 to the Plaintiff.”

A specific amount will be set at a later date if the lawsuit is enough to obtain a trial date. In lighter news, Sicknick’s parents accepted the Medal of Honour on his behalf earlier today (January 6).

Tristan Thompson’s Mom Dead, Athlete & Khloé Kardashian Seen Jetting To Toronto

by

Once again, Khloé Kardashian is showing how much compassion she carries in her heart. After learning of the death of her co-parent’s mother, the reality starlet joined Tristan Thompson on a private jet to his homeland of Toronto, Canada where he can properly mourn and make arrangements for Andrea Thompson’s funeral.

TMZ broke the story on Thursday (January 5), revealing that the athlete’s parent was in the hospital. She apparently suffered a heart attack while at home. Upon arrival at the medical centre, experts made attempts to resuscitate the woman but ultimately failed.

Thompson left Los Angeles as soon as possible, sources tell the outlet. In an update on Friday (January 6) afternoon, Kardashian’s appearance became public knowledge. It’s been said that she’s joining her ex to comfort him in his time of need.

The mother of two was reportedly close to Andrea, and the NBA player shared no shortage of photos of his family matriarch with his children over the years. He shares two with Khloé, as well as a son with his ex, and another from an affair he had with Maralee Nichols.

Despite not being a couple for some time now, Kardashian and Thompson still spend holidays together for co-parenting purposes. Their united front during this difficult time proved his dedicated she is to supporting him through thick and thin, whether romance is involved or not.

At this time, further details regarding Andrea’s sudden death remain unknown. The Canadian baller hasn’t yet spoken out, though his previous posts dedicated to the late woman speak volumes.

On Mother’s Day a few years ago, he wrote, “One day isn’t enough to praise and lift you high. Every day is your day. Thank you for all the sacrifices you made for me and my brothers. I love you and I’m so lucky to have been chosen as your son. Not all superheroes wear capes.”

Check back with HNHH later for any updates on the situation. RIP Andrea Thompson.

La La Anthony On Her Love Life: “I Don’t Feel Like Any Guys Want To Date Me”

by

A new year is a time for new beginnings and optimism. However, not everyone is able to maintain cheer in every aspect of their life. For example, La La Anthony is having a hard time finding her prince charming – or so she told TMZ this week.

The gossip blog caught up with the mother of one at LAX recently. At the time, they asked about comments she made last year on the Call Her Daddy podcast. If you didn’t tune in, the Power starlet dished about the men in her DMs, specifically noting that they’re often much younger than her.

“Literally, guys will DM me, or wanna take me out. I’ll Google them and I’ll be like, ‘You’re 22 years old?!’ Like, HOW?!” she told host Alex Cooper.

Since then, it seems Anthony hasn’t had any luck settling down with a suitor. When TMZ asked about her prior comments on the podcast, she said, “I retract my statement. It’s the top of the year and I don’t feel like any guys wanna date me,” she teased with a smile and laugh.

When the interviewer asked her about her dream man’s age, she playfully said, “Age ain’t nothin’ but a number!” while hopping in the backseat of her waiting vehicle. Pressing for more, the journalist prompted her to pick between a 22-year-old guy and a 40-year-old man.

“I prefer whoever is for me,” she wisely responded. “Whoever God says is for me, I’m good with it.” However, she noted afterward that “22 is a little too young.” When it comes to 34, though, “we can do that,” she says.

Before embarking on her journey back into the world of dating, La La was married to NBA player Carmelo Anthony. They were married for seven years, and share one son, 15-year-old Kiyan, who they continue to co-parent.

Bryan Kohberger Update: Alleged Killer Seen Throwing Trash In Neighbour’s Bins Before Arrest

by

Now that he’s back in Idaho and has attended his first hearing, more details regarding the arrest of 28-year-old Bryan Kohberger are coming out. Needless to say, they’re as chilling as many anticipated. However, authorities still aren’t able to paint a full picture for the public.

At the end of 2022, the criminology student was apprehended by the FBI in Pennsylvania. At this time, he’s the only known suspect in the murder of four young University of Idaho students.

In this handout provided by Monroe County Correctional Facility, 28-year-old Bryan Christopher Kohberger is seen in a booking photo after he was arrested on December 30, 2022 in Pennsylvania. Kohberger has been accused of fatally stabbing four University of Idaho students – Ethan Chapin, 20, Xana Kernodle, 20, Madison Mogen, 21, and Kaylee Goncalves, 21 – in an off-campus house on November 13, 2022 in Moscow, Idaho. (Photo by Monroe County Correctional Facility via Getty Images)

As we previously reported, Kohberger and his father drove home from Idaho to Washington for the holidays. During their trip, the duo was stopped twice by Indiana state police. At this time, it’s believed these were planned pullovers to obtain more information on the suspect without spooking him.

According to CNN, authorities also kept watch over their target when he arrived at his parent’s house. A law enforcement source tells the outlet that investigators witnessed as he “cleaned his car, inside and outside, not missing an inch.”

The team assigned to Kohberger was tasked with keeping an eye on him until a warrant was obtained. Additionally, they had to gather an item that could be used to collect a DNA sample.

Officers saw the suspect numerous times outside in Pennsylvania, often wearing surgical gloves. At one point, he headed outside around 4 AM and put trash bags in his neighbours’ bins. They then collected garbage from both the family home and Kohberger’s backup spot and sent it off to the Idaho State Lab.

Last Friday (December 30), a local SWAT team moved in on the family home. Both the door and windows were broken down in what’s known as a “dynamic entry” that’s typically only used with “high-risk” suspects.

After a long trip across the country via plane, Kohberger appeared in Idaho court yesterday (January 5). The previous night, he was booked into the Latah County jail on four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary.

He is facing the death penalty, which some of the victim’s parents have already said they support.

Rob49 Shot On Video Set With French Montana, Latter’s Bodyguard Is “Fighting For His Life”

by

The year is already off to a tumultuous start, with French Montana and Rob49 becoming the latest rappers in the midst of a bloody battle. As NBC Miami reports, the two were at a video shoot in Florida on Thursday (January 5) when gunfire eventually erupted.

Local police responded to a ShotSpotter call prior to 8 PM last night. It brought them to The Licking Miami Gardens on Northwest 27th Street. Detective Diana Gourgue is providing the media with updates, sharing that the altercation initially began in one location, and moved to the restaurant later.

Ultimately, Miami-Dade Fire Rescue says that a total of 10 people were injured at the crime scene. Four of them were able to bring themselves to the hospital, while medical officials transported the other six.

At this time, the condition of their injuries remains unknown. Reports circulating online state that Rob49 himself was hit by bullets, but remains in stable condition. Montana’s bodyguard, however, is suffering a far worse fate. Allegedly, he’s been fighting for his life following the shooting.

The gunfire apparently rang out as a result of a robbery. Another artist, Ced Mogul, was on location at the video shoot behind a KFC. After someone’s things were stolen, filming moved to The Licking, where guns were a blaze.

As far as we know, no arrests have presently been made, though police continue to investigate the situation.

Many social media users have already been reacting to the news. Specifically, several are condemning those keeping some of the more gruesome footage circulating online.

“If you’re sharing videos of the aftermath from that French Montana video shoot WITH PEOPLE LYING ON THE GROUND BLEEDING OUT, reevaluate your fucking life cos that’s ugly, heartless behaviour,” one person wrote.

Find more information from the ongoing investigation below. Additionally, check out French Montana’s Gangsta Grillz Coke Boys 6 project here while we wait for further updates.

DaBaby Hangs With Ja Morant’s Dad Courtside

by

It certainly seems like it’s been a while since DaBaby has been in the headlines for good reasons. The rapper has been relatively quiet following his controversial comments at Rolling Loud in 2021.

Regardless, it appears as though the 31-year-old is still enjoying life. On Wednesday night (January 4), he was sitting courtside with Ja Morant’s dad, Tee.

In the entertaining footage, the unexpected duo are soaking in some live basketball action between Morant’s Memphis Grizzlies and the “ROCKSTAR” rapper’s team, the Charlotte Hornets.

“I got OG in here tonight. In cahoots with the refs. This my dawg right here, man. It’s up right here, you see what I’m sayin’? I got him in here tonight, I’m puttin’ pressure on these boys, man. I got Melo for 12,” boasts DaBaby.

“The refs out here acting like we playing in Memphis. Don’t put me out about it, but the refs acting like we playing in motherf*ckin’ Memphis,” he continues afterwards.

Unfortunately for DaBaby, the Grizzlies easily took down the Hornets with a final score of 131-107. Morant led the team to victory through his 23 points and eight assists, further improving their record to 24-13 on the season.

In other news surrounding the rapper, his most recent album, Baby On Baby 2, majorly undersold. According to reports, the project only sold 17,200 units in its first week. Comparatively, Baby On Baby, sold 124,000 units.

He subsequently took to his social media accounts to air out his frustration, claiming he’s being blackballed. Some artists, including Boosie Badazz also had his back. “Ain’t no way my n*gga @DaBabyDaBaby supposed to sell 16k after selling almost 150k his last first week!! he one of the BIGGEST n this sh*t!! I DONT KNOW WHATS GOING ON BUT SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY GOING ON!!” writes the “Wipe Me Down” rapper in a tweet.

Lil Gotit & Dolly White Asked About YSL RICO Trial By Paparazzi

by

Lil Gotit has been one of the “Free YSL” movement‘s most active supporters. Ever since Young Thug and other members of their crew were arrested in May last year, he’s been advocating for their release.

In September, the 23-year-old explicitly showed his support for his brothers through the single, “Free Y$L.”

Earlier this week, Gotit was spotted at an airport alongside Thug’s sister and fellow YSL artist, Dolly White. Of course, a paparazzi member from TMZ asks them about the forthcoming RICO trial.

“Everybody good. Everybody just gotta relax,” says the “She Know It” rapper. When the cameraman asks the artists about Gunna and other YSL members taking plea deals, Gotit is seemingly about to open up. However, the “Reckless” rapper intervenes. “More power to them! We can’t talk about that,” she says.

“Nah, Jeff [Thug] good,” Gotit says later on. “He good, I just talked to him this morning,” says the “Ski” rapper’s sister. She then goes on to call out the media for spreading false rumors about the situation. Namely Akademiks, for his reports that Thug didn’t sanction any of the plea deals.

When asked about Thugger’s hopeful release, the pair sound optimistic. “He gon’ get out,” says Gotit. “We ain’t worried about that,” says White afterwards.

In the latest development in the case, authorities are charging the Barter 6 rapper with eight counts. This comes after he was facing a possible 65 charges. The eight against him include conspiracy to violate the R.I.C.O. act and two counts of participation in criminal street gang activity.

However, the murder charges will not be going forward against the 31-year-old. Previous reports were indicating that Thug would be facing life in prison if convicted of murder. “So I just spoke to a lawyer familiar with the YSL case. If Young Thug gets convicted of murder, he will get life in prison. Under Georgia law, he will only be eligible for parole after 30 years. If he gets convicted for even 1 count in his RICO case, he’ll get 20 years,” writes DJ Vlad in a tweet on Sunday (January 1).

What are your thoughts on the YSL artists’ comments? Sound off in the comments below. Finally, make sure to stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest updates surrounding the trial.

Julia Fox Talks Dating Drake & Ye

by

Ever since famously starring in Uncut Gems in 2019, Julia Fox has steadily been in the headlines. Whether for her fashion choices, her meme-worthy statements or her short fling with Ye, the 32-year-old is a hot topic.

During her brief romance with the disgraced rapper, the pair were spotted out together several times.

The Uncut Gems actress recently sat down for an interview with Andy Cohen. During their conversation, the talk show host doesn’t hold back when asking her about her dating history. He reads her a question sent in from a fan, asking the mother of one what’s the best celebrity date she’s been on.

“I flew on a private jet, cuddled on the jet, landed, got some Chanel bags. It was just great,” she exclaims, before saying she can’t disclose who it was with. “I really, really can’t say, but it was obviously an A-lister,” says Fox. After Cohen says everyone wants to know if it’s Drake, she replies, “maybe,” cracking a smile. It certainly seems as though it was with the Certified Lover Boy.

Elsewhere in the interview, the 32-year-old also addresses some aspects of her relationship with the “Gold Digger” rapper. “We were literally together for like a minute. I don’t think he even knows my full name or anything,” she confesses to the Watch What Happens Live! host.

The couple began dating last year, shortly after the 45-year-old’s divorce from Kim Kardashian. However, they only lasted for about a month. The actress says she dumped the father of four due to his “unresolved issues.”

Of course, Drizzy and Ye have a rather complicated past with each other. After beefing for years, they put their differences aside to unite on stage in late 2021. Both artists performed at the concert, which was put on in order to bring attention to the “Free Larry Hoover” movement.

Fox’s alleged date with the Toronto superstar allegedly happened before her fling with Ye. Regardless, the exact timeline is unknown and the seemingly new update is certainly interesting.
