Waka Flocka Flame Reacts To Canceled Meet & Greet Event Due To Donald Trump Support

by

Waka Flocka is a proud supporter of Donald Trump, who recently won the United States presidential election against Democratic candidate Kamala Harris. However, he feels like his support of the convicted president-elect resulted in some groups and organizations trampling over his freedom of speech. The reason why is because the organizers for a meet and greet with the rapper this week canceled the event due to his political views. In response, he issued a lengthy message on Twitter that criticized how he feels like the foundations of freedom of speech that built the U.S. are only applicable to the “system.” It’s not that simple, but we’ll let the comments section of the Instagram post down below illuminate that for you.

“Imagine living in a country… built on free speech. To ultimately find out free speech is only given to those who don’t go against the system…” Waka Flocka Flame spoke of how his meet and greet was no more due to his Donald Trump support. “A lot of ppl need to wake up. Y’all being used for a bigger agenda. Free speech is free speech. My decision for who I vote for is my decision. Y’all talking about freedoms? [They canceled] one of my meet and greet events in DC… today because of some people’s opinion. Because they harassed a liquor store until they canceled the s**t. Then they spin it like I did something wrong for having an opinion… that’s freedom?”

However, Waka Flocka Flame certainly applied a similar mentality to some of his own events. For example, he told Joe Biden supporters to leave his concert back in July of this year, and this shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the dynamics behind private bookings and partnerships.

Meanwhile, outside of the political realm, Waka Flocka Flame still had a pretty good time in 2024 thanks to some other developments. He joined Nicki Minaj as a special guest alongside 2 Chainz for her Atlanta tour stop of her Pink Friday 2 trek. The ATL native enjoyed his freedoms of speech this year to great extent, but others’ freedoms of speech also come into play.

Summer Walker & Chris Brown Recreate Some Of Breezy’s Viral Meet & Greet Pictures

by

Summer Walker and Chris Brown have been collaborators and creative colleagues for quite a long time, with one of their first team-ups being “Something Real” back in 2019. However, it seems like no matter how many or how little released material they have together, they are still down to have a great time during Breezy’s 11:11 tour. Moreover, they recently linked up backstage and took some fun and heartening pictures together, and everyone’s all smiles and goofy expressions as they had a ball back there. It’s always nice to see celebrities take the mask off if even for a brief moment.

Furthermore, it seems like Chris Brown and Summer Walker wanted to recreate some of the former’s viral meet and greet moments, or at least to emulate them in the best way possible. They spread themselves over the floor, put up funny faces, and the Virginia superstar put a dancer’s leg up in a seductive pose whose facial expressions make it clear that it’s parodying how messy some fans want to get with their poses. Still, it’s all in good fun, since there’s not really a specific meet and greet moment to link this to. If someone had literally recreated some viral poses, then we would be talking about a wholly different story here.

For those unaware, Chris Brown’s meet and greet pictures this year have ranged from couples breaking up to folks falsely representing fans. Fortunately, the most recent example of these antics is a much more positive and innocent one, with Brown feigning a proposal to a fan for a pic. It’s quite the comical image out of context, and definitely not the first time that he’s had to do something like that. Regardless, she’s a lucky woman, and we’re sure she will boast about it, fake or not, for years to come.

Meanwhile, Summer Walker went official with her new man Coop recently, and we wish them all the best on their journey. Considering her complicated love life up until this point, this moment sadly fell under much undue scrutiny. But we have to give people a chance and maybe not stress out over who they’re dating. We’ll see if Chris Brown and Summer share any more moments from their time together.

Chris Brown Proposes To A Fan During Meet & Greet

by

Chris Brown’s meet and greets during his 11:11 tour have been almost as unpredictable as his stage malfunctions, with some interesting snapshots emerging from particular sessions. Most recently, a female fan is going viral right now thanks to her picture with the superstar at one of these events, and it’s one of the more wholesome and innocent big headlines from the trek. Moreover, she had him feign a proposal to her, getting down on one knee as the woman puts on a face of surprise and joy. It’s a funny picture out of context, and one we’re sure she will brag about at family reunions and friendly gatherings for years to come.

Elsewhere, Chris Brown’s meet and greets have sometimes been more scrutinized in the media, such as a disabled fan debunking rumors that he paid for her package. “What I’m not okay with is strangers on the Internet using my face and exploiting my disability for likes and clicks while spreading misinformation,” she expressed on social media. “That, we not gonna do. Just like everyone else, I support Chris as a brand and as an individual so if you see me at a show or meet and greet, please know that I paid for my ticket. I paid to get there.”

Also, there was a trending situation over a girl whose boyfriend apparently broke up with her because of her purchase of a Chris Brown meet and greet and some pictures that were too close for comfort. Jealousy is a fickle friend, especially when fandoms and celebrity culture get involved. Hopefully, everyone who met Breezy since then became fully aware of how not to make their partners angry.

Jokes aside, Chris Brown will probably continue to impress at his live shows and captivate fans. Some die-hards take things too far, like demanding a strip tease as they fawn over his shirtless body. But the Virginia creative takes all those requests in stride, and has a lot of fun connecting with fans and responding to their wishes. Let’s see what other fans get the idea of a fake proposal for their meet and greets.

Chris Brown Makes Disabled Fan’s Day By Refunding Meet & Greet With Some Extra Cash

by

Meet and greet packages for Chris Brown’s tour can result in some scandalous couples controversies, but most of the time, they’re a more heartening affair. Moreover, that’s especially the case for a disabled fan who recently met up with him for one of these meet and greets, and apparently she has a very sweet story. Breezy did the whole meet and greet with pictures and a nice convo and refunded her entire $1,111 ticket with an extra $10K to boot. According to commenters under the Instagram post below, this is far from her first meet and greet with him, and they had a promise that she would stay in school which he seems to have repaid.

However, the sad reality is that not everything in Chris Brown’s world is as friendly as this. PARTYNEXTDOOR recently caused quite the stir online after he dissed him, Jeremih, and Bryson Tiller with a tweet-and-delete, seemingly over their inclusion of his ex girlfriend in their “Wait On It” music video. The 11:11 artist demanded a public apology from the OVO singer, and he then added that he has “nothing but love” for the trio, walking back his resentment. It’s a pretty odd situation and a vague one at that, but nothing that some conversations and clarifications can’t fix.

Fortunately, it seems like recent developments and sightings have healed at least some of the wounds in Chris Brown’s life, although this one has nothing to do with the music industry. He and his baby mama Diamond, the mother of his youngest child Lovely, seemingly said “I love you” to one another at the club. Of course, we all know that the Virginia superstar has a controversial and rocky relationship history. But partners don’t need to marry to be amicable, and that’s great to see.

In other news, it seems like everything else on Chris Brown’s tour is going well, barring some technical malfunctions here and there. That’s just par the course for big live events, but hopefully he doesn’t stress himself out too much over it. Regardless, the important thing is the bond that fans experience through these meet and greets. As this disabled supporter’s story tells, a little love and care goes a long way.

Fredo Bang Prompts Viral Debate After His Meet & Greet Photos With A Fan Couple Surface

by

Fredo Bang is on tour right now, and while there’s a lot to talk about when it comes to his performances, his extracurricular offerings are the main topic this time around. Moreover, he recently went viral for a meet and greet picture with a fan couple, the female parter of which asked both him and her male partner to kiss her on the cheek at the same time. “She living out her fantasy,” the “You Hate Me” rapper wrote on his Instagram Story alongside laughing emojis and a repost of his IG post with the picture. At least she let her boo take a picture with Fredo afterwards, so it seems like there were no cuck-related hard feelings as many social media users speculated.

Still, we know that Fredo Bang would much rather deal with fans who want to get weird with their meet and greet photos rather than disrespectful ones. Recently, he called out an unknown individual or a mystery group of people online who vandalized his friend’s gravesite. “I want one of you tuff a** n***as to claim this,” the Baton Rouge MC wrote along with some snapshots of the desecrated resting place. Even with all the animosity that could result from being a famous artist, this took things way farther than they should’ve gone.

Fredo Bang’s Viral Meet & Greet Pictures

Elsewhere, though, we know that Fredo Bang is by no means immune to some lewd or romantically juicy headlines every once in a while. As such, maybe this meet and greet picture should come as little surprise, but this was probably just an artist making their fans’ day no matter how bizarre the request may be at face value. But along this scandalous line, he recently addressed a rumor that he paid $35,000 for sex with Jada Kingdom. It didn’t really go anywhere, but it flooded both of their social media coverages for a quick second.

Also, we know that Fredo Bang is a big crusher (see his infatuation with Coi Leray as a prime example), so we’re not ruling out that he may have had his own jokes for this couple’s male partner. But as odd as fans may be in person, celebrities always carry that burden of playing nice and making their supporters happy. Maybe he was taken aback at first, or maybe nobody made a big deal out of this at all. Looking back, that’s probably the right and reasonable decision here; it’s just a photo, after all.

Janet Jackson Raises Fans’ Eyebrows By Posing With A Michael Jackson Impersonator

by

Janet Jackson continues to captivate audiences during her tour, but a particular meet and greet participant left many fans puzzled. Moreover, a picture went viral of her posing with someone impersonating her late brother Michael Jackson, which prompted some confused and pretty comical comments from social media users. “I’m sure she didn’t mind, but definitely was on her mind for the rest of the night [crying emoji] prolly still is,” one fan commented under the Instagram post below. Another added: “She better than me, I would have cursed him up down , in and out,” which was another popular sentiment in the comments section.

However, not everyone reacted to this negatively. “I think people forget that he was THEE Michael Jackson,” one user posited. “He’s paying homage. She’s definitely seen this numerous times… She’s obviously cool with it and seems flattered. Nothing negative to see here folks.” As such, maybe this Janet Jackson meet and greet isn’t anything to write home about, or at least was a very personal decision for her that some fans will understandably be in disagreement with. Regardless, you should definitely go to see her live if you get the chance, as viral clips of her working in Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” into her live set are just the tip of the iceberg.

Elsewhere, though, Janet Jackson and the rest of the family might have some financial worries to deal with. Recent reports emerged about the Internal Revenue Service freezing the Jackson estate’s funds due to a tax dispute. We don’t know exactly how much this is affecting the family or Janet specifically, but it seems like a very complex web. After all, the trust is worth an industrial boat-load of money.

Meanwhile, Janet Jackson seems to be living her life to the fullest right now and enjoying every step of the way. She also sparked some romance rumors with Q-Tip after a flirty Instagram birthday post, so she continues to be part of the rumor mill. Maybe nothing will come of this, or we’ll see some more viral meet and greet pics to distract us. Despite how differently each person would react to this situation, it’s not a decision or mentality for us to force on another.

Chris Brown Charges Fans $1K For Concert Meet-And-Greets

by

Chris Brown is one of the best-selling artists of all time. He’s moved over 217 million albums worldwide, and notched countless number ones since he broke out in 2005. He’s also an incredible dancer, which makes his live shows a must for fans. Ticket prices for a Breezy show are nothing head-turning, but it turns out that he more than makes up for it with meet-and-greets. The R&B superstar is believed to be charging fans over $1K to meet with him and take photos after shows.

This revelation came about on June 6. Chris Brown kicked off his 11:11 tour in Detroit, which meant VIP packages were made available to fans. A VIP package that includes a meet-and-greet option for an eye watering $1,111. XXL reported that Brown usually charges $1K flat, but the fee was rounded up to line up with the title of the new album, 11:11. The meet-and-greet comes with additional perks, in case you were wondering. Fans get to meet Breezy, pose for photos, and two signed personal items. They also get early entry to the show, a tour gift, and an 11:11 calendar. It may sound steep, but fans are snatching up these VIP packages left and right. Chris Brown obviously knows his audience.

Chris Brown Has Been Charging This Price For Years

This is not the first time the singer’s meet-and-greet prices have been a talking point. He was criticized when the $1K prices were revealed back in 2022 (yes, he’s been doing it since then). The criticism grew so loud that Chris Brown took to Instagram to address it. He defended the price tag on the grounds that fans aren’t forced to pay these prices. They go VIP because they want to. “PSA,” he wrote. “When artist (everyone) does concerts, they all have something called a VIP package… I have the coolest fans on the planet. I appreciate the f*ck outta them. These are memories that will last them forever.”

Brown also took other artists to task for charging similar prices while blowing off their fans. “Unlike most of these lame a*s artist that won’t make eye contact with the people who made it possible to even have a career,” he wrote. “I only exist because these fans saw something in me I never thought possible. So Ima go all out for my fans!” The singer’s point is validated by the fact that the meet-and-greets are sold out at all of his 11:11 shows. This means Brown will take home a staggering $800K just from meet-and-greets alone.

Offset Surprises Detroit Students With Personal Meet & Greet, Cash, And More

by

Offset is keeping up his streak of charitable efforts, recently rewarding a group of students in Detroit for winning a Black history essay contest. Local artist Mr.1204 invited him to the event last week, where he surprised the group with a meet and greet. On top of getting to meet the hitmaker, each of the students went home with $100 and an autographed poster courtesy of Offset.

Mr.1204 shared a clip of the sweet moment on his Instagram, sharing more details of the fun surprise in his caption. “NOT ONLY DID THEY GET A PERSONAL MEET & GREET BUT ALSO RECEIVED PERSONAL AUTOGRAPHED POSTERS AND $100 EACH!!” he wrote. “NO KID KNEW WHERE WE WERE GOIN OR WHO THEY WERE GOING TO MEET! I SIMPLY TOLD EM… ‘I WANT Y’ALL TO MEET SOMEBODY!!’ FOUR OF THE STUDENTS WON A FREE TRIP TO AFRICA BY ENTERING A BOOK ESSAY!”

This is far from the first time Offset’s used his icon status for good in recent months. Just after embarking on his eagerly anticipated Set It Off tour, he visited students at a high school in Baltimore, where he gave away $30K in groceries and gift cards. He also honored Caden Bowie during his visit, a student who got accepted into an impressive 40 colleges. Offset personally congratulated the senior for his accomplishments onstage.

During a recent stop in Philly, he also treated some local teens to a shopping spree alongside Gillie Da Kid and Wallo, praising the kids for their creativity, hard work, and talent.

Trey Songz Shocks Social Media With Sexual Meet & Greet Photos With Fans

by

The Love Hard tour with Keyshia Cole, Jaheim, K. Michelle, and Trey Songz is currently underway, and its Baltimore show is drumming up a lot of discussion right now. Moreover, one of the reasons why is because fans are getting a little bit too close to Songz during this trek, or perhaps the other way around. A series of pictures surfaced from his meet and greet interactions with various fans, and in many of them, you can see them replicating various sexual poses or posing in an otherwise lewd or suggestive manner. This is especially notable because of the singer’s various accusations of sexual abuse and misconduct, although some of those lawsuits have been dropped recently.

Regardless, not every single picture here was that extreme, and it’s not worth singling out when many other artists do similar poses with fans. But Trey Songz’s choice to rest his hands on a female fan’s back as she bends over for him, plus the context of his alleged crimes, was a step too far in many’s eyes. Sadly, this isn’t the only recent fan interaction that drew some criticism online, although this one is more because of its combative nature. Allegedly, he lashed out on a woman he threw $300 for flipping him off afterwards, calling her ungrateful via direct message.

Trey Songz’s Bizarre Meet & Greet Snaps With Fans

As such, we can see that there’s an unfortunate track record here when it comes to imperfect interactions with fans, civilians, and even other artists. Jacquees claimed that Trey Songz is guilty of everything that folks accuse him of. While he didn’t overtly respond back, there are a few other industry peers who have spoken out against him, all of which have left him unbothered. As much as the public narrative points to wrongdoing, it’s important to note that these are mostly still allegations at press time.

Meanwhile, what do you think about these meet and greet pictures? Is the context behind the Virginia native’s alleged crimes too much to see these as anything but uncomfortable? Whatever the case, drop your thoughts down in the comments section below. Also, come back to HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Trey Songz.

Key Glock Responds To Sleazy Backstage Note Accusations

by

Recently, one Key Glock fan claims to have made their way backstage at one of his shows. Unfortunately, however, they were allegedly met with quite a surprise. According to them, they spotted an alleged note on the performer’s door, letting visitors know that if they weren’t interested in “f*cking or sucking,” they should get lost.

For obvious reasons, the alleged note came as a shock to fans, as it gave off a pretty creepy vibe. Countless social media users commented on the situation, sharing their own takes on it. Many thought it was funny, others found it hard to believe, and some called it downright “predatory.” Luckily, the rapper has come through with a response to the debacle, providing confused supporters with an explanation. According to him, he wasn’t responsible for the note, if it was even real in the first place.

Key Glock Denies Writing The Note

“KeyGlock said this ain’t a meet and greet lmao,” one Twitter user captioned the photo of the note. He then responded to that Tweet, writing, “Key Glock ain’t said sh*t.” Based on his response, he’s not a fan of how the alleged backstage surprise has made him look. The rapper went on to retweet another user’s response to the note, reading “Baby that ain’t for Key lmaooo just FYI gotta do the team.”

Luckily, he doesn’t seem to be letting all the chatter get him down, sharing a subsequent Tweet in apparent response to the controversy. “I just be laughing sh*t off,” he wrote alongside a laughing emoji. “It’ll help you live longer.” While the origin of the note remains unclear, fans are at least glad to know that Key Glock didn’t write it. What do you think of Key Glock’s response to the note a fan allegedly spotted backstage at his show? Were you shocked by the alleged note?
