Megan Thee Stallion Reveals How Tory Lanez Trial Impacts Her BF Pardison Fontaine

by

If there’s anything we’ve learned from watching Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez’s long-awaited trial play out over the past few days, it’s that this whole situation has been anything but easy for the Houston native. From the injuries she sustained during the traumatic incident to having to recount all the details on the stand in front of the courtroom all these years later, the rapper has had to put on a seriously brave face in the midst of chaos.

Among the details shared by the 27-year-old during her Tuesday (December 13) testimony was an update on her current relationship. As you may recall, Thee Stallion has been dating fellow recording artist Pardison Fontaine for over two years now.

“I feel disgusted, I feel dirty, my own partner is embarrassed,” she admitted on the stand earlier this week. “I can’t even be happy, I don’t want to talk to friends or family.”

Those who have been closely keeping tabs on the ongoing trial know that elsewhere in her comments, Megan admitted to previously having been intimate with Lanez. Prior to the trial, she had denied being intimate with the “Say It” singer. Now, however, the truth is coming to light.

Additionally, names like Ben Simmons and DaBaby are linked to both Thee Stallion and her former best friend, Kelsey Harris. Ultimately, the former seemingly denied the allegations with a clip of Rick Ross on his Instagram Story.

The latter, however, substantiated such claims before with his own song, “BOOGEYMAN.”

Aside from putting a strain on her romantic relationship with Pardi, the “Hot Girl Summer” hitmaker has also found her mental health struggling in the years since the shooting. So much so, in fact, that she’s been experiencing suicidal thoughts.

“I don’t want to live,” she told the court. “I wish he had just shot and killed me if I had to go through this torture.”

Meghan Markle On Friendship With Beyoncé: “I Still Can’t Believe She Knows Who I Am!”

by

Every so often, Netflix unveils a new original series that takes the world by storm. While Tim Burton’s Wednesday is definitely one of those at the moment, another recent arrival is the Harry & Meghan docuseries. The first three episodes premiered earlier in December. Now, the latter half hit the streamer on Thursday (December 15), giving us further insight into the lives of the two former royals.

Additionally, in the second half of the hit documentary, Meghan Markle briefly discusses her friendship with Beyoncé. As PEOPLE notes, the two previously met in 2019 after both working on Disney’s The Lion King remake. Paparazzi caught photos of the two hugging at the premiere. At the time, Queen B reportedly whispered “my princess” to the mother of two.

Those who saw the pair’s first meeting noticed an immediate “familiarity” between them. So much so, in fact, that many refused to believe that weren’t already kindred spirits. At the same time, Prince Harry was chatting it up with Jay-Z, who had some advice for the couple.

“The best advice I can give you, [is to] always find some time for yourself,” Hov told Markle and her husband.

Elsewhere, Beyoncé previously showed tons of love to the Suits actress following her and Prince Harry’s interview with Oprah Winfrey. The conversation aired back in March of 2021. It found them discussing things like losing police protection, the strain they’ve felt on their relationships with royals, and their daughter, Lilibet, who was still in utero at the time.

After the emotional interview aired, Beyoncé posted a public tribute to her on Instagram. “Thank you Meghan for your courage and leadership,” the Houston native wrote. “We are all strengthened and inspired by you.”

As it turns out, the Lemonade hitmaker also sent Markle a private text with even more kind words. In the docuseries’ latest episodes, we see the couple working side by side at home when the California native announces that she’s gotten a text from her famous friend.

“I still can’t believe she knows who I am!” she went on to gush about her sweet message from the vocalist. “She said she wants me to feel safe and protected. She admires and respects my bravery and vulnerability and thinks I was selected to break generational curses that need to be healed.”

Prince Harry responded, “that’s well said.” No doubt!

Check out the trailer for the second installment of Netflix’s Harry & Meghan above. Afterward, let us know if you’ve tuned into the docuseries down in the comments.

Lizzo Channels Sexy Grinch In Latest Twerking Video: Watch

by

We already knew that she’s 100% that bitch. Now, Lizzo is letting us know that she’s also “100% THAT GRINCH.” In her latest twerking thirst trap, the Special hitmaker donned an all-green look as she channelled the moody (but beloved) holiday character.

In her usual fashion, she made her costume slightly NSFW by stepping into a bondage-style jumpsuit. The look was complete with fur and chains running down the bodice. Additionally, she rocked a green smokey eye and a lengthy wig in the same colour.

At first, we see Lizzo running her manicured hands down her full figure as she shakes her hips in unison with Shelby Swain’s “MRS. GRINCH.”

“I’m a bad bitch, Mrs. Grinch / I’m a real one, I don’t f*ck with me,” the track’s lyrics go. “All wrapped in designer, from n*ggas I don’t got time for / Mrs. Grinch, Mrs. Grinch.”

After showing us what it looks like from the front, Lizzo let her followers see her bodacious behind from the back. As expected, she twerked away, leaving fans (such as SZA) to thirst over her in the comment section.

While one doesn’t necessarily need an excuse to dress up like their favourite holiday character, the “About Damn Time” songstress has a good one. That same night, she was performing at iHeart Radio’s annual Jingle Ball.

Other stars to take the stage in Madison Square Garden include Jack Harlow’s rumoured new girlfriend, Dua Lipa, as well as the Backstreet Boys and Demi Lovato.

Lizzo’s Christmas look is undeniably epic, but it’s got nothing on the costumes she put together for Halloween in October.

Firstly she made headlines by stepping out as Chrisean Rock. Later, she and Cardi B had the same idea in donning hilariously unforgettable Marge Simpson outfits.

Unfortunately, the latter’s has gotten her into some legal trouble. Read more about that here, and check back with HNHH later for more pop culture news updates.

Boosie Reacts To Ye’s Rosa Parks Comments: “Tryin’ To Take Away All Black Glory”

by

Boosie Badazz has never been afraid to speak his mind. As someone who’s certainly no stranger to controversy, the rap veteran is back to sharing his candid thoughts.

This time, the Baton Rouge native is speaking out against Ye and his most recent comments, which were made about Rosa Parks. He’s obviously not happy about the remarks.

The “Wipe Me Down” rapper was previously active on Twitter yesterday (December 12). In his posts, Boosie chiefly calls for the Black community to come together in cancelling him the same way the Jewish community has.

“IT’S A SHAME THIS MAN IS REALLY TRYIN’ TO TAKE AWAY ALL BLACK GLORY,” he angrily tweeted.

“BLACKS SHOULD DO THIS MAN LIKE THE JEWS DID HIM!! NOW HES COMING FOR BLACK HISTORY,” the 40-year-old continued later in his rant.

In recent audio of Ye, the disgraced rapper can be heard detailing his conspiracy theories on how much the media controls. “Since 1948, all of these movements… I know [the] woke finna be mad at me, but all of these heroes man, there’s only one. That’s Jesus Christ,” he says.

“MLK, JFK, Malcom, Rosa Parks… We know Rosa Parks was a plant. We know all of these things, right? And they use these media outlets to outrage,” the father of four continued.

The artist formerly known as Kanye West subsequently went on to label the media as the “trauma economy.”

“Although people die every week,” the Chicago native believes they pick and choose which deaths to promote in an attempt to create trauma in Black communities.

These comments from Ye are only the most recent problematic statements he’s made. During a media tirade in which he announced his 2024 Presidential bid, the Yeezy founder caused serious harm stemming from his anti-semitic comments. At the time, he explicitly praised Hitler.

Evidently, he’s still spewing out hurtful statements despite the backlash and consequences.

Do you think Boosie has a point here? Comment down below and stay tuned to HNHH for the latest updates.

Lil Meech Arrested After “BMF” Actor Brought Glock-19 Through TSA

by

Demetrius Flenory Jr. – known for his leading role in 50 Cent’s crime series BMF – was arrested at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport today. The reason? His attempt to bring a firearm through security.

Many have made the mistake of leaving a filled-up water bottle in their carry-on. However, a Glock-19 is a slightly more serious offense.

The actor, known also by “Lil Meech,” had reportedly stowed the pistol in his carry-on luggage. When airport security located the weapon, deputies from Broward County Sheriff’s Office were notified and dispatched immediately. Police took the 22-year-old soon thereafter.

Upon further investigation, the Glock itself was empty with a clear chamber. Still, though, authorities did find a 15-round magazine elsewhere in the actor’s luggage.

While transporting firearms from one airport to another is certainly doable, the BMF star missed a couple of key steps.

Firstly, all firearms must be stored in checked luggage only. This was Flenory’s first mistake, as there are no exceptions that allow passengers to bring weapons in their carry-on.

On top of this, the traveler did not have a carry permit with him at the time of the flight. Considering the nature of the gun’s location, and Flenory’s decision to not announce the contents of the bag to TSA, the firearm would be considered concealed. In all 50 states, laws are in place prohibiting the public possession of a concealed firearm if the individual doesn’t have the proper state permit.

Meech’s lack of proper paperwork is likely what landed him felony charges after his arrest. Upcoming court dates for the accused have remained undisclosed. At this time, the actor’s camp has yet to issue a formal statement, though his friends have been clowning him.

Do you think Felnory is in any real trouble with the law? Or will the TV star get a slap on the wrist before flying out to his next set? Let us know in the comments and check back with HNHH for updates on this developing story.

6ix9ine Receives Luxury Apartment Ban After Security Gets Careless With Assault Weapons

by

For 6ix9ine, life never seems to be easy. The New Yorker is no stranger to trouble. From feuding with other rappers to going ghost on his own legal team without paying them, he always seems to be in the middle of some drama. Now, he’s in hot water once again – this time for allowing his guards to get careless with their assault weapons during his stay at a Miami condo.

As TMZ reports, the “GOOBA” artist is receiving a ban from a boujee apartment complex down south. While in Florida, he typically crashes with Nelk Boys member SteveWillDoIt at his SLS Lux Property residence. After seeing how his entourage acts, however, the building’s association promptly shut that down.

A letter obtained by the outlet states that 6ix9ine came for a visit at the end of October. With him was a collection of bodyguards, who were openly carrying assault weapons with them.

Furthermore, one of the security staffers is said to have “casually left his assault weapon on his bag.” Afterward, he “walked away from it briefly to talk with others.” Understandably so, this is cause for major concern.

The documents additionally note that the condo board is “aware of the bounty placed on 6ix9ine’s life in exchange for information regarding others and [his own] provocative antics” following his prison stint.

At the end of the day, the association feels as though having the 26-year-old in the vicinity creates a “dangerous situation for its residents, guests, employees, and staff members.”

TMZ has clarified that it’s unclear if unsafe things were occurring during 6ix9ine’s stays. However, they did obtain a video of someone with a gun waiting for the controversial celebrity outside.

In happier news, Tekashi caused a serious stir online earlier this month. Surprisingly, photos of him proposing in Dubai appeared online. Read more about that here, and check back later for more hip-hop news updates.

YNW Melly Is “In Fear Of [His] Life” According To Lengthy IG Posts

by

Even from behind bars, YNW Melly has been getting desperate messages out to his fans via Instagram. Earlier this month, he publicly pleaded with figures like Joe Biden, Kim Kardashian, and Meek Mill to help him. Now, the Broward County-born star is back with more allegations about the unfortunate treatment he’s enduring while awaiting trial.

“As of this moment today I am officially in fear of my life,” Melly wrote on Monday (December 12) afternoon. “A new Captain named Hubert and XO Jenkins have taken over the jail for two weeks now. They’ve handed out even harsher punishments for me [than] the previous ones in place.”

According to his account, the 23-year-old moved into a housing unit that holds 24 inmates at once. He’s been staying there alone, with no phone privilege, no television, and no access to a newspaper. “They are watching my every move on camera. Making sure I don’t use the phone to tell the world how I am being mistreated, discriminated, threatened physically, harassed,” he alleges.

Additionally, Melly says that on the one hour a day he is let out of his cell, all other inmates in adjoining dorms go to their respective rooms. “I am being subjected to cruel and unusual treatment at the hands of deputies and high-ranking staff of the Broward Sheriff’s Office,” he insists.

“I have been threatened by Deputies, Lieutenants and Sergeants. They say ‘they will hide me from the world’ and threaten to ‘beat my ass every day.’ If I tell my lawyers they will lie and say I hit them first,” the Florida native adds. Specifically, he credits the threats to Sergeant Anthony Kidd and Lieutenant Jean Baptiste.

The staff have apparently succeeded in their goal of hiding him. Now, Melly believes that their next step is “beating [him] half to death.” This is something he says happens “to other inmates almost daily at the main jail” in Broward County.

Shortly after, another message appeared on the “Murder On My Mind” artist’s profile. “I can’t call my family or lawyers to notify them I have been beaten or harassed,” he vents to his fans in this one. “They say my phone privileges are taken permanently because [of] all of the infractions over the last seven months. THAT IS A LIE!”

“They took my phone privileges indefinitely off of my 1st violation for using another inmate’s pin to talk on the phone when I am not allowed to use the phone,” he explains. Additionally, Melly notes that other inmates in the same circumstance would have gotten their privileges back after 30 days, “per the handbook.”

The recording artist is feeling frustration, particularly after seeing others planning escapes and robberies with jail phones and still having their privileges.

“I am housed and surrounded in the care of power-struck deputies and captains of high authority. They’ve even have told me to my face that ‘they don’t like me’ and ‘I pissed them off,’” Melly’s rant goes on. “I am not safe in the hands of these people,” he insists.

He concluded, “I am in fear of my life. My family is in fear of my life. I can not do another day here. Someone, please help me get moved to another county jail until my trial. PLEASE!”

In other recent news, YNW Melly’s mother was recently questioned over alleged witness tampering in her son’s case. Read more about that here, and check back with HNHH later for more news updates.

Diddy’s New Baby Mama’s Identity Revealed: Report

by

Diddy and Yung Miami have made it clear that they’re not in an exclusive relationship in the past. However, that didn’t stop the world from reacting in shock when Sean Combs revealed that he fathered a child with another woman recently.

Over the weekend, the “Gotta Move On” hitmaker took to Twitter to share an elusive announcement. “I’m so blessed to welcome my baby girl, Love Sean Combs to the world,” he wrote on Saturday. At the time, it remained unclear if the New Yorker was the child’s dad or grandpa, and who the mother is.

Unsurprisingly, internet sleuths have solved the mystery. Thanks to a birth certificate obtained by TMZ, we now know that 28-year-old Dana Tran is the infant’s mom.

The young woman works in the cyber security industry. From what’s been uncovered about her so far, she appears to be a Southern California native. According to the outlet she often goes by Dana Tee on social media. However, it seems as though her Instagram account was recently taken down.

It’s currently unknown how she and Diddy first met, or what the extent of that relationship is. The Bad Boy founder clearly isn’t hiding the new addition to his family, though.

In the latter half of his aforementioned tweet, he added, “Mama Combs, Quincy, Justin, Christian, Chance, D’Lila, Jessie and myself all love you so much! God is the Greatest!”

Already a father of six, Puff is no stranger to being a parent. Following the death of his ex, Kim Porter, though, the recording artist has been open about how raising teenage girls alone hasn’t been easy on him.

“I was like a part-time father,” he told Yung Miami during their Caresha Please interview earlier this year. “Losing Kim, it was like now I’m a full-time father and my life is really going crazy right now.”

He went on, “Going from just being on the road and stuff to like actually having to raise three girls. I’ve never been in that situation before, I guess God gave me some karma, hit me three times! I’ve got three girls turning 16.”

Shanquella Robinson Rally In Charlotte Calls For Justice In Ongoing Death Investigation

by

The tragic story of Shanquella Robinson’s death shocked the internet last month. Over the weekend, countless people from the late student’s hometown gathered at a rally to demand the justice they deserve.

As ABC News reports, Saturday (December 10) saw several Charlotte, North Carolina residents come together at Little Rock AME Zion Church. Friends of the family and local leaders both spoke on how the unexpected murder has shaken up their community.

“I’m going to be honest – this is tough,” Mayor pro tem, Braxton Winston, said in his statements. “How many words of comfort can you bring to a situation like this? There’s so much grief in our community.”

Afterward, the politician went on to assure Shanquella’s parents that they won’t be forgotten by those around them as they await further answers from the FBI and Mexican authorities.

Mecklenburg County’s at-large commissioner, Pat Cotham, additionally noted that Robinson’s story “[is] just starting.” They added, “She was just a young woman. I am so very sorry for the loss of your precious Shanquella.”

Aside from running her own businesses, the deceased spent much of her time focusing on her studies at Winston-Salem State University. A representative for the school says her “spirit lives on” there, even after her untimely murder.

Just a few weeks ago, the Robinson family came together to mourn their only child at a funeral service. Now, the community is uplifting them again in their time of need.

“There were thousands of people that didn’t make it into the services a couple of weeks ago, so this is the opportunity to come and show their support for the Robinson family again and to love on them and basically let them know that we stand with them,” Million Youth March of Charlotte founder, Mario Black, told press this past weekend.

“It’s justice for Shanquella Robinson until justice is served,” he chiefly declared.

Though the FBI and Mexican authorities revealed that an arrest warrant was issued in the case at the end of November, Salamondra Robinson has spoken with the media and says she remains without answers.

Mariah Carey & Daughter Monroe Sing A Christmas Duet: Watch

by

Mariah Carey isn’t able to declare herself the official “Queen of Christmas.“ However, she’ll forever be associated with the festive holiday in the hearts of many. To help spread the seasonal cheer in 2022, the songstress organized four December performances – two in Toronto and two in New York – the first of which took place earlier this weekend.

For her stay in the 6ix, the “Touch My Body” hitmaker is taking over the Scotiabank Arena stage. As she entertained the crowd from a specially decorated set on Friday (December 9), the mother of two surprised them with an appearance from her 11-year-old daughter, Monroe.

As Page Six notes, they covered the Christmas classic “Away in a Manger” together, marking their first-ever duet.

For the occasion, the mother-daughter duo wore similar sparkling white ball gowns. For her part, the 52-year-old stunned in a bejewelled bodice and full tulle skirt look. Her little girl stood alongside her in a tutu-style skirt with cap sleeves covering her upper half. Additionally, both of them channelled royalty in glistening tiaras.

“This is my baby girl, here. Eleven years ago, I got the greatest gift,” Carey told her Canadian audience. “You know what, I don’t have birthdays, but the birthing day was the greatest gift ever.”

The New York native will perform in the north once more tonight (December 11). Then, later this week, she’ll be headed to her home state to let her voice shine at Madison Square Garden.

Carey was obviously happy to have Monroe with her in Toronto. However, earlier this month reports revealed that she’s allegedly putting pressure on ex-husband Nick Cannon to spend more time with their twins.
