Zach Randolph & Marcus “Head” Howell Speak On Moneybagg Yo’s Rise

by

Moneybagg Yo is one of the hottest Memphis rappers right now, something Zach Randolph and Marcus “Head” Howell stand by with pride. Moreover, they spoke in a recent interview with Business Insider about Yo being their first artist, and how he led to great success. Of course, city leaders like Yo Gotti also proved instrumental in his career, but Gotti’s mentorship also impacted Randolph and Howell. From the moment they signed Moneybagg in 2016, the artist showed gratitude for their confidence in his vision, and worked hard to make them proud.

“Bagg work hard,” Head expressed. “Actually, he probably in the studio now. We have to drag the man out the studio. Bagg’s a guy, he like to work out, he like to take care of his kids, and he like to be in the studio all day. So, working hard, like Zach said, you know, like he be in the gym all day. That’s what Bagg do all day. Being in the studio. And you gotta stay in the studio if you wanna get successful. ‘Cause that make you good in your craft.”

Elsewhere in the interview, the two also spoke on the Memphis scene and how they define its musical hotbed. “It’s a special city, man,” former NBA star Randolph remarked. “It’s a city where you gotta work for everything. You know, ain’t nothing given to you, ain’t nothing soft about the city. You gotta hard work, and it’s a lot of real people and blue collar people. But the music, it’s the hotbed right now. You see that all the labels is coming into Memphis and trying to sign all the artists up outta there.”

While that hard work can be grueling, it also results in a deep connection to those working just as hard as you. For example, Z-Bo and Head reflected on how they’re able to collaborate with so many like Yo Gotti and Bagg’s own label when it comes to releasing his music. “‘Cause we all family,” Randolph stated. “We’ve been had relationships a long time, so it was easy. When we started the label, me and Marcus, it was easy to come to Yo Gotti, to talk to the guys around the city, ’cause we already had relationships with these guys for a long time.” Check out the full interview in the link below and return to HNHH for the latest on Moneybagg Yo.

Latto & 21 Savage Are Dating, Says Celebrity Hairstylist

by

All Latto wanted was to keep her romance private, but the internet won’t let her have any peace. The “Big Energy” hitmaker has been carrying on a secret love affair for what seems like years. When it was first revealed that Latto met a new man, the internet lit up with guesses. There were a few suggestions in the first round, but soon, the public seemed to settle on 21 Savage. The spotlight has been on these two for some time.

However, confirmations have been non-existent. Instead, Latto and 21 both repeatedly denied being involved with one another. Fans were quick to point out Latto’s tattoo that looks to be 21’s legal first name, but that wasn’t enough for the Rap stars to come forward. Once again, Latto and 21 are in the hot seat, but the 777 star is the only one battling it out with nosy fans.

She’s used to being trolled, but the Barbz have been ruthless after her spat with Nicki Minaj. Every move Latto makes has been scrutinized by her critics, and once again, she denies the romance with Savage. However, a celebrity stylist surfaced to lay rumors to rest. According to reports, Rhonnie Lee has worked for Moneybagg Yo, but after spilling alleged information about Latto and 21, she’s been labeled as untrustworthy with private information.

On Instagram, someone called it confusing that Latto and 21 have continued to curb the public. “They’re together have been for years now!” Lee replied. “Not something I heard something I KNOW! This his woman he loves her & Vice verse!” A screenshot of the brief exchange became a focal point, thrusting Latto and 21 back into gossip conversations.

Latto Brags About Boyfriend

Regardless of his anonymity, Latto has often bragged about her relationship. For Valentine’s Day, her mystery beau went all out with a lavish, red rose-filled special day. In an interview, the Queen of Da Souf rapper also stated that her man pays all of her bills and makes sure she’s taken care of. As Latto keeps her boyfriend a secret, Rhonnie Lee becomes the talk of the town. Check it out above.

Moneybagg Yo Denies Having Sex With Woman In Viral Picture

by

Moneybagg Yo denied that he was the one having sex in a viral picture on social media. Moreover, a picture of a man and a woman in the act started to spread around the Internet in various contexts. In fact, many made a big deal out of the fact that the man looks eerily similar to the Memphis rapper. After all, even the least bit of resemblance, once pointed out, will get people talking- and make a tweet go viral. However, the “On Wat U On” MC was having none of it and shut down rumors that it was him on Twitter. Furthermore, he pointed out that real fans should’ve noticed that the pictured male doesn’t have any tattoos on his body like Bagg does.

“Mane stop mentioning me in this picture of somebody getting f***ed,” he wrote indignantly via Twitter. “Y’all ppl WEIRD bra my whole body tatted s**t not me!” In a subsequent series of tweets, he made light of the situation with some cheekier and more humorous comments. “People be Slow internet dry y’all need some attention,” the 31-year-old continued. “U lame a** n***as be ready for me to f**k up,” he concluded with some crying-laughing emojis.

Moneybagg Yo Isn’t Having Sex In Viral Picture

While not everyone’s convinced in the comments, is that really the hill you want to die on? Regardless, the Bread Gang Entertainment boss has bigger things to worry about and more important people to consider. For example, he recently took the time to honor rising (and practically established) star GloRilla on her incredible career trajectory thus far. The fellow Memphis MC blew up last year off of her raw energy, and he gifted her a Bread Gang chain at assumedly one of her tour shows.

Meanwhile, Moneybagg usually takes to social media to flex his extensive jewelry collection, which he showed off recently as well. “Ain’t even half,” he wrote on the Story post’s caption, which featured various chains, watches, and pendants. As such, it’s no wonder he has some ice laying around to gift to up-and-comers as a sign of respect. However you feel about that picture, check back in with HNHH for the latest updates on Moneybagg Yo.

Memphis stand out Moneybagg Yo decided to add an honorary member to his Bread Gang collective and recognize fellow Memphis native GloRilla by giving her a Bread Gang chain during her sold out to make her an official honoree of the Memphis-based clique.

Moneybagg lost a member of the Bread Gang last year with the shooting death of Big Nuskie, who was killed in Memphis last summer. GloRilla and Moneybagg Yo were seen on stage, with M.Y. saluting the “Tomorrow” rapper before gifting her with the iced out chain and medallion. See above.

Moneybagg Yo Ices Out GloRilla With Bread Gang Chain

by

Moneybagg Yo just gifted a custom iced-out Bread Gang Entertainment chain to fellow Memphis rap star GloRilla. Moreover, the exchange seemingly occurred at one of Glo’s concerts recently, and fans cheered on for them. Bagg hyped the “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” star up and they embraced for a moment. Also, it looks like Yo Gotti, who runs GloRilla’s label CMG, was also on stage for the gift. Afterwards, she took to Instagram to show it off and thank the “Wockesha” rapper, although the chain is frankly a bit illegible. Regardless, it was a pretty notable on-stage moment and a show of solidarity between different Memphis camps.

While Glo’s signed to CMG and not Bread Gang Entertainment, which is Bagg’s label, all artists on stage are with CMG, which many people forget. Moneybagg signed with Gotti to much surprise and discussion considering they’re from historically rival parts of the city. However, since then, it seems the focus has been mostly on great music and bringing more of those parts of Memphis together. In addition, let’s not forget that Moneybagg loves to show off jewelry, as he recently flexed half his collection on the Gram.

Moneybagg Yo Shows Icy Bread Gang Love To GloRilla

Also, Moneybagg Yo and GloRilla collaborated on the track “On What U On” recently to much fan acclaim. Still, many artists are taking note of the wave Memphis is leading the scene with, even its older acts. Another rap figure who recently gave the rising star her flowers is none other than Grandmaster Flash of The Furious Five fame. While on the red carpet of the Grammys, he praised her hit song “F.N.F.” for its fun bars and energy.

Meanwhile, one of the biggest female rappers on the moment, Cardi B, showed up to Glo’s tour stop in the former’s home city of New York. They performed their track “Tomorrow 2” together to a screaming crowd in another moment of respect between two similar artists. This time, Memphis wasn’t the link, but rather as two female artists in an often male-dictated industry, although that’s starting to change. After all, Glo met her dream collaborator Beyoncé at the Grammys recently, so she knows well who run the world. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest on GloRilla and Moneybagg Yo.

Moneybagg Yo Flexes His Jewelry

by

Moneybagg Yo took to Instagram to flex his expansive and shimmering jewelry collection, and boasted that it “ain’t even half.” Moreover, he showed off a couple of watches, some chains, pendants, and what seem to be rings. Considering the Memphis rapper’s increasing and consistent success over the past few years, he built quite the impressive display. However, a lot of people in the comments didn’t take too kindly to his showing off. While some said that such behavior is what leads rappers to get robbed, others gave similar spiels on material wealth, lab-grown diamonds, and so on. Regardless, the “Wockesha” MC seems quite proud to post his collection on the Gram.

Even though you might assume the rapper’s cold and achievement-driven mentality, he’s got a softer side. In fact, he recently appeared in a funny video with girlfriend Ari Fletcher where they cook together. Furthermore, they grilled each other with questions about their relationship. “Did you really snatch my wig off when we was outside the club in Miami?” Fletcher asked the 31-year-old. “Do your kids like me? In your new song, you was like ‘F**k on my h*e, f**k on my b***h.’ Who were you talking about? Do your baby mamas like me?”

 “Do you remember the first time you said you loved me, and when I told you?” the rapper asked her back. “You ain’t let me hit until, like Thanksgiving. You made me wait.” Although this made for a cutesy moment, they flexed their material love for each other on Valentine’s Day this year. Moreover, the social media influencer gave Moneybagg Yo a Volkswagen, and he gave Ari a Bentley.

Meanwhile, Yo is continuing his expansive and multi-hyphenate career as a leading artist and talent scouter. For example, he recently assisted Baltimore MC Rican Da Menace on her recent single “DUMB,” and the duo brought a banger together. Also, he recently signed YTB Fat to his expanding and rising Bread Gang Entertainment label. In more ways than one, Yo is stamping himself as a big influence in not just Memphis, but the rap game as a whole. With all that in mind, come back to HNHH for the latest on Moneybagg Yo.

Ja Morant Reveals Who He Listens To Before Games

by

The press conferences held during NBA All-Star weekend led to LeBron James, Jayson Tatum, Ja Morant and more being asked some intriguing questions. First, LeBron James was asked about being able to play with his old Cavaliers teammate Kyrie Irving in the All-Star game. “It’s always good to see him. I’m very proud of him. Very proud of the man that he has become in his life right now,” Bron said gracefully. However, if you remember correctly, LeBron appeared to be hugely disappointed recently that his Lakers did not acquire Irving when he was on the trade block, instead letting the Dallas Mavericks snag him. Additionally, Jaylen Brown was in a more sour mood when speaking on how the All-Star game is no longer competitive. “It was just a glorified layup line,” Brown called the game.

In contrast, though, both Pau Gasol and Brown’s Boston teammate Jayson Tatum found ways to honor the late Kobe Bryant. After coaching up his Rising Stars team to a win on Friday (Feb. 17), Paul Gasol talked about his consideration for the Basketball Hall of Fame. He gave all the credit to Kobe. “My name, my number don’t go into those rafters without those championships,” he said. “And we don’t win those championships without Kobe Bryant.” Similarly, Tatum honored Bryant after winning the Kobe Bryant All-Star Game MVP. “Everybody knows how much [Kobe] meant to me,” he said. “My favorite player, my idol. So it’s an honor to take this home.” With all these heavy quotes, though, other players like Ja Morant mostly were only asked softball questions.

Ja Morant’s Tunes

When asked by a reporter what his three favorite artists to listen to before games are, Morant gave an exciting reply. “(NBA) Youngboy, (Lil) Baby, Moneybagg (Yo). And a little bit of that (Pooh) Shiesty brrrrr brrr brrrr.” Mimicking Pooh Shiesty’s famed ad-libs, it’s clear that Morant had to throw in that fourth option in his response. Morant was raised in South Carolina and now lives in Memphis, TN. So, it’s no surprise that every artist he named is from the South. Pooh Shiesty and Moneybagg Yo are both from Memphis, and Youngboy and Baby are from Louisiana and Georgia respectively. It’s easy to see where Ja’s heart lies.

Aside from light-hearted conversations with NBA reporters, Morant has had an otherwise bizarre and eventful start to 2023. January saw a bit of turbulence with him being hit with a lawsuit for fighting a minor in a pickup basketball game. Additionally, his father Tee Morant, and FOX Sports commentator Shannon Sharpe got into a scuffle at a Grizzles-Lakers basketball game. Then in February, Ja was implicated in a situation where his friends were accused of stalking and intimidating employees for the Indiana Pacers. However, this year has still seen him get a new Nike shoe deal and become an NBA All-Star for the second time. So, it seems that Ja is taking the good with the bad.

Rican Da Menace Recruits Moneybagg Yo For Turnt Up “DUMB” Single

by

Rican Da Menace is relatively new to the rap scene. Still, everything she’s dropped so far proves that she’s a force to be reckoned with. In 2022 she made her mark with “Ain’t Going Back,” and afterward, she showed out on “I Admit It” to close out the year. She’s already shared her first single of 2023, “Uh Ohhh,” and this New Music Friday (February 17), the rising star returned with more.

For her first collaborative effort, the Baltimore baddie linked up with Moneybagg Yo. The two carry their own weight through their respective verses on “DUMB,” a turnt up new tune featuring production from Hitmaka and Tay Keith. Since premiering earlier this weekend, Da Menace has earned upwards of 47K streams on Spotify alone.

“Ran up all these M’s before I’m twenty-five / If it ain’t an AP, ho’, that’s just a waste of time,” the 21-year-old boasts on the first verse. Later on, her guest feature comes through with impressive bars of his own. “Look how I mix the Prada sweater with Bottega slippers / Call me Mr. Put-It-On, certified dripper,” he cheekily raps.

Along with “DUMB” arrives a BenMarc-directed visual in which Rican puts her bank heist skills to the test. Moneybagg also makes an appearance, joining his collaborator to get his rhymes off for the camera while chiefly flexing his impressive jewelry collection. For her last music video, the female artist recruited Chrisean Rock to join her. Working with the Memphis native on this release is certainly a step up, proving that there are no limits to what Da Menace is able to achieve.

Stream Rican Da Menace’s “DUMB” single featuring Moneybagg Yo on Spotify or Apple Music below. Afterward, tell us your thoughts on the new arrival in the comments. Additionally, find more release recommendations on our weekly Fire Emoji update here.

Quotable Lyrics:

First name Classic (Bitch), middle name Nasty (Ooh)
Broke gang sus, but a bitch ain’t laughin’ (Haha)
I can’t f*ck with bitch n*ggas, broke n*ggas ashy (Yeah)
Pull up on me, bitch is you dumb? I’m just askin’ (Hello, the f*ck?)

Moneybagg Yo Gifts Ari Fletcher A Bentley For Valentine’s, She Returns The Favor

by

Moneybagg Yo and Ari Fletcher just got hefty Valentine’s Day gifts in the form of a Volkswagen and Bentley, respectively. Moreover, Fletcher posted both impressive cars on social media with a cute message for each. First, she wrote a grateful and boastful tweet showing off her new Bentley. “Pull up to the show room before dinner. Bentley Flying Spur. Thank you.” Then, she posted a picture of Moneybagg and his new Volkswagen on her Instagram story. “I bought him a car too, he love it,” capping the caption off with a laughing emoji. Presumably, she’s laughing at her rap and chef boo‘s funny pose as he laid on his new whip.

While the couple had their fair share of hiccups across its history, the two seem stronger than ever. Furthermore, they recently uploaded a wholesome and cheeky cooking video where they ask each other a variety of tough questions. “Did you really snatch my wig off when we was outside the club in Miami?” Ari asked her man. “Do your kids like me? In your new song, you was like ‘F**k on my h*e, f**k on my b***h.’ Who were you talking about? Do your baby mamas like me?” Moreover, Yo asked her, “Do you remember the first time you said you loved me, and when I told you? You ain’t let me hit until, like Thanksgiving. You made me wait.”

However, the cooking video didn’t come with the surprise factor that they might’ve wanted. The Airbnb owner who rented them the property posted private pictures of the two shooting the video. Furthermore, they used the celebrity couple’s stay to promote the listing and encourage more people to stay, which Ari was not happy with. “If I payed for a air bnb like a regular normal customer, why would you post pictures of me inside your air bnb telling people we was there,” she tweeted. “That’s so unprofessional and I was working on something private. I haven’t been at a air bnb in years and this why cause that s**t ghetto!!!”

“People saying I posted a picture in the house SO!!!” she continued. “I never posted what I was doing or who I was doing it with! That’s s**t they say and watched on the cameras. That’s weird AF!” Hopefully, their Valentine’s Day escapades and celebrations were only theirs to post and promote, and that they enjoyed the big day in private. Regardless, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest on Moneybagg Yo, Ari Fletcher, and your favorite celebrity couples.
