Chrisean Rock Does Laundry On IG Live After Blueface Blasts Her For Not Doing It

by

As volatile and unpredictable as their relationship is, this couple goes through the same household issues everyone else does sometimes. Chrisean Rock just hopped on Instagram Live to do some laundry after Blueface slammed her for not doing it on his social media. Moreover, the two are in quite the crazy spot right now, as they apparently broke up but are in an odd in-between phase right now. However, watching them fight over laundry is at least more civil and normal than their most insane antics and fights. As such, maybe this is a better indicator that they’re back to normal- at least, by their standards.

Furthermore, Chrisean not only has to deal with the California rapper’s scolding, but that of many followers online. For example, many started to aim mocking or incendiary messages at her on sites like Twitter because of her recent relationship issues with Blueface. Specifically, they told her to accept his offer of $100K in order to get an abortion. Of course, she wasn’t having it, and responded to trolls affirming that she’s got enough money of her own.

Blueface & Chrisean Rock Air Each Other Out Over Laundry

Also, Blueface allegedly is using other people in his life to take aim at Chrisean, as his baby mama claimed that he wrote tweets for Chrisean on her account. “B***hes wouldn’t even last the walk to the clinic in the shoes I had on last year so y’all bffr,” Jaidyn Alexis tweeted, though according to her, that was Blue. “Do it please. Should’ve just took the d**k and bubble gum when had the chance. Gimme da 100k daddy I’ll do the abortion myself. I’m not crazy I jus don’t give a f**k. S**t was sweet when I was pregnant tho right y’all internet ppl should be ashamed of y’all selves honestly.”

Meanwhile, the “Thotiana” rapper even roped his daughter into his shade-throwing at Rock. “Ok, step one! I’m teaching you this early, ok?” he told his daughter in a clip. “Don’t ever put your hands on no man. A man touch you, you call your daddy! Rule number two, don’t ever have no baby with no man who don’t want the damn baby. Rule number three, if a man cheating on you baby girl… Either deal with it and stay or leave that n***a! But pick one, ok? Don’t be in the middle like these delusional females.” Let us know your thoughts on this in the comments and return to HNHH for the latest updates from Chrisean Rock and Blueface.

Rihanna’s Best Live Performances

by

Since her audacious debut with Pon De Replay in 2005, Rihanna has been an unstoppable sonic force in hip-hop. In what feels like a matter of moments, she has gone from sparkling ingenue to tour-de-force performance artist whose talents have found equal spotlights in the worlds of music, film and fashion. Her performance at Super Bowl LVII was only an inevitable bullet point on an already epic resume. 

Still, like many of the greats – think Janet Jackson, Britney Spears and Mary J. Blige – it is Rihanna’s live performances where her genius is on full display. She might be performing for a sold-out stadium, but she has mastered the uncanny ability to individualize her productions, creating an intimacy between fans and herself that allows them to believe that they are in her orbit, if only until the song is over. Watching her live is to watch a virtuoso in the midst of an artistic renaissance happening one right after the other. In a matter of a few beats, she can go from coy and seductive to fierce and uncompromising. 

When reflecting on her own performances, jazz chanteuse Nina Simone once said, “I want to shake people up so bad, that when they leave a nightclub where I’ve performed, I just want them to be to pieces.” 

That ability to shake the earth and everyone on it is something that Rihanna can also claim to do. People are not just humming and dancing when they leave her arenas; they’re thinking, their brains rattling around even as their bodies are still moving to rhythms cast on the wind in their wake. 

In looking at Rihanna’s oeuvre of performances, certain shows stand out more than others, though in no particular order:  

Diamonds- 2014 Concert For Valor

Dressed in black sequins, with her hair as straight-as-a-ski-slope as it angles down her back, all Rihanna said was “Hello D.C.” before she launched into her song “Diamonds” at the 2014 Concert for Valor in the nation’s capital. She was only 26 at the time, and yet she held her own at a star-studded event where the roster of performers included Jennifer Hudson, David Grohl and Metallica. The entire show was broadcast on HBO. 

Diamonds- 2012 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

Cue to the same song, but a different tenor. At the 2012 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show – which capped in at 53 million views – Rihanna skipped all introductions as she sauntered on stage in a slinky black dress with a slit from ankle to hip. Black thigh highs offered a teasing glimpse of skin that fit the show’s theme of Dangerous Liaisons, a story that is all about the games men and women play when confusing love for power. Fog billowed around her as she crooned to the audience in an ultimate delivery of seduction and ‘look-but-don’t-touch’ vibes. The sunglasses with the white rims kept the number playful while the black opera gloves maintained an aura of class.

Love The Way You Lie/Not Afraid (Ft. Eminem)-2010 VMAs

After the release of her fifth studio album, Loud, which was released in 2010, the Barbadian songstress adopted a new look that included shockingly bright magenta hair and a roster of songs that were not afraid to seduce. In this S&M era, she joined forces with Eminem to perform “Love the Way You Lie / Not Afraid” at the 2010 VMAs. After Eminem performed with a sacrosanct prowess that was infused with gospel, Rihanna appeared, seemingly out of nowhere, like a waifish prom queen who has decided that she’s got more important things to talk about than who won king and queen that night. She had a song to sing and hearts to break, and she was going to deliver.

Bitch Better Have My Money-2015 iHeartRadio Music Awards

Even if she hadn’t been wearing the sour-apple-green faux fur, Rihanna would have commanded attention at the 2015 iHeartRadio Music Awards – a show that nabbed 86 million views – with her rendition of “Bitch Better Have My Money”. As if adopting the adage ‘go big or go home’, Rihanna entered the stage by slyly stepping from a helicopter and then launching into a song and dance sequence that nailed every beat with a techno precision.

Love On The Brain-2016 Global Citizen Festival

In 2016 at the Global Citizen Festival, Rihanna asked her audience, “Are you ready?” before beginning her jazz-fueled ballad “Love on the Brain.” Everything about the performance called to mind a blues club where everyone knows everyone and everyone is willing to share their heartache. Between the occasional pauses so that her fans could sing the lyrics, to her own soft and subtle sways, this was a Rihanna who can tell the rest of us all about heartache.

Pon De Replay- AOL Sessions

When an artist has had the kind of robust and dynamic career that Rihanna has had, it is tempting to overlook the earliest material. That would be a mistake. In hindsight, Rihanna’s AOL sessions with “Pon De Replay” was a sneak peek at who she would become, both as an individual artist and as a person who knew how to make her name a brand that could not be replicated or minimized. She sang and danced on a minimalistic sound stage where red dominated, commanding the camera as if she were already a seasoned veteran. The dance moves were natural and uninhibited, making it clear that she was a performer who was on the verge of something unprecedented.

T.I. & Boosie Badazz Continue Their Beef

by

The beef between T.I. and Boosie Badazz continued this weekend as the former sent the latter scathing shots both live and on the Gram. Moreover, their beef started after Boosie claimed T.I. snitched, and therefore pulled their idea for a joint album. Then, the Atlanta trap star clapped back at those claims, calling them false and bringing up the receipts. “Let a motherf***er know that the paperwork was present,” he said at a live setting to many fans. “I’ve been waiting on one special invited guest to show up, but he ain’t showed up yet. But he ain’t here to see my paperwork. So come on if you got something to say. I wanna see who wanna see, you hear me?”

“After you see what you need to see, it’s on you now,” T.I. continued. “Now go straighten that s**t up, ’cause n***a, you got too far in your jaw. You got too much dip on your chip.” Furthermore, the Baton Rouge rapper had this to say about the “Live Your Life” star’s story about his cousin. “If he did that, you’re a fuckin’ rat, too,” he expressed to DJ Vlad. “I don’t spare no-mothafuckin’-body… if you cooperate with law enforcement to get you out of trouble… that means you’re a rat.”

T.I. Unleashes On Boosie At Live Event

Despite T.I.’s boasting and him posting court documents to prove haters wrong, he’s kind of going a bit harder than you’d expect. For example, he commented on Boosie’s post as he enjoyed an Atlanta Hawks game. “Say boy u posed to be up here @trapcitycafe,” he commented, referencing the earlier clip of him at a live setting. “Checking dis paperwork and straightening yo face or else you flaw…. according to the convict law.”

Afterwards, Boosie replied to his comment with a simple “I text U,” adding a green checkmark. Whereas T.I. is seemingly blowing this up every chance he gets, Badazz seems a bit hesitant. However, we don’t know what’s happening behind the scenes, so maybe it’s not as one-sided as it appears. After all, with a few rappers siding with T.I., maybe Boosie realized he bit off more than he could chew. At the end of the day, it’s just a social media beef that probably won’t define either of their careers. Regardless, check out their Instagram exchange below and return to HNHH for the latest on T.I. and Boosie Badazz.
