Moneybagg Yo & Ari Fletcher Grill Each Other With Questions During Cooking Video

Ari Fletcher and Moneybagg Yo recently asked each other some tough questions during a cooking video the two recorded together. While the couple went through their fair share of hiccups in their history, it was a fun and charming clip. In fact, it seems they’re more committed than ever, as these questions were pretty in-depth. Here are Ari’s inquiries: “Did you really snatch my wig off when we was outside the club in Miami? 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, the Memphis rapper had his own set of questions as they cooked what seemed to be some sort of chicken recipe. “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.” Much to be thankful for, indeed. Unfortunately, though, the clip omits each partner’s answers, but Fletcher said the full video will come out soon. After all, Ari has a channel where she posts cooking vids often. In fact, we already knew this video was coming thanks to her blasting an Airbnb owner for promoting it.

Furthermore, Fletcher and Moneybagg filmed the cooking video in an Airbnb, whose owner posted pictures of the couple as they filmed. In fact, it was all to promote the property. “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,” Ari wrote on Twitter. “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!!!”

In another tweet, she wrote, “People saying I posted a picture in the house SO!!! 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!” Whether the Airbnb owner’s gotten more sales or not, they definitely felt the wrath of Ari. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest on Moneybagg Yo and Ari Fletcher, and stay tuned for that cooking video.

Moneybagg Yo, GloRilla, And More React To Tyre Nichols’ Death

It’s been nearly two weeks since news broke about Tyre Nichols’ death. The 29-year-old died after succumbing to his injuries after being severely beaten by five Memphis police officers at a traffic stop. Nichols’ death, similar to George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and countless others has enraged the nation, causing many discussions about state violence and the institutional racism embedded in police organizations. Several celebrities, artists, and athletes including, Memphis rappers Moneybagg Yo and GloRilla, have spoken about Nichols’ unjust death. More are sure to follow.

Moneybagg took to social media to offer a message to Nichols’ family and the city of Memphis. “Praying for the family of Tyre Nichols,” the rapper wrote on Instagram. “Also praying for our city. #JusticeForTyre.”

GloRilla, another Memphis native, reposted Moneybagg’s post on her Instagram story before making a post of her own. The “F.N.F” rapper posted a message that read “Justice For Tyre Nichols” with a caption containing a broken heart emoji with several prayer hands.

Ari Lennox shared a post on her Instagram story that read, “Justice for Tyre. Praying for his family and friends and the Memphis community.”

NBA stars like LeBron James and Chris Paul also chimed in with some thoughts about the unfortunate situation. “WE ARE OUR OWN WORSE ENEMY!!!” James tweeted regarding the five officers who attacked Nichols, all of which were Black.

Paul offered a heartfelt message to Nichols’ family and the Memphis community, writing, “Change is needed at all levels, and we all need to do our part.”

“We can’t lose our humanity as a society,” he continued. “To the Nichols family and Memphis community, my heart is with you tonight.”

Since Nichols’ death, the five officers involved have been fired from the Memphis Police Department and are facing impending charges. Footage of the horrific incident was recently released, where Nichols can be seen fleeing from the police before they eventually caught up with him.

Moneybagg Yo Calls For Justice For Tyre Nichols

Moneybagg Yo took to Instagram to send his prayers to Tyre Nichols’ family and call for justice for his passing. Many protested the Memphis Police Department’s cruelty and will likely continue to do so. Moreover, the Memphis rapper shared a message to the Nichols family and to the city via Instagram.

“Praying for the family of Tyre Nichols,” the rapper’s post read. “Also praying for our city. #JusticeForTyre.” Also, he captioned it with the same hashtag and added some emojis, including open hands and praying hands.

Moreover, the police department fired five Memphis police officers from their post following a traffic stop. According to the department’s official statement, a “confrontation” occurred during the stop that caused Nichols to flee. Later, a second “confrontation” took place when authorities caught up to him.

“Our son ran because he was scared for his life,” his stepfather Rodney Wells told reporters. “And when you see the video you’ll see why he was scared for his life.

Furthermore, U.S. President Joe Biden issued a statement on Tyre Nichols’ death.

“Tyre’s family deserves a swift, full, and transparent investigation into his death,” the statement read. “As Americans grieve, the Department of Justice conducts its investigation, and state authorities continue their work, I join Tyre’s family in calling for peaceful protest. Outrage is understandable, but violence is never acceptable. Violence is destructive and against the law. It has no place in peaceful protests seeking justice.”

Also, attorney Ben Crump called footage from the January 7th stop “appalling” in a recent press conference.

“We join Tyre’s family in supporting the Department’s decision to terminate the five officers who brutalized him, ultimately causing his death,” he wrote with fellow attorney Antonio Romanucci. “This is the first step towards achieving justice for Tyre and his family. They must also be held accountable for robbing this man of his life and his son of a father.”

Still, what do you think of Moneybagg Yo’s message of prayers and justice to the family of Tyre Nichols? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, come back to HNHH for the latest updates and tributes regarding this heinous case.

Rest In Peace Tyre Nichols.

Moneybagg Yo Signs YTB Fat To Bread Gang Ent.: “He’s One Of Them Ones”

Moneybagg Yo’s expanding the Bread Gang Ent. roster with one of the most exciting new artists out of Memphis.

The “Quickie” rapper hit Instagram this afternoon to announce the signing of YTB Fat. Bagg revealed a video of Fat’s chaining day where he laid out wads of cash on the table before blessing his new artist with jewelry from Ice Box.

“I Need Y’all Welcome My Fox @ytbfatt To This BreadGang Loaf Boyz Shit !! He One Of Dem Ones Hardest I Done Heard In A Min Talkn Too Crazy!! @ytbfatt Let’s Run It Up WE THE LARGEST!!” Moneybagg Yo captioned the post.

Fat posted the same video, writing, “I’m Ready…I love U 5.”

YTB Fat has been bubbling out of Memphis, specifically in the past few months. Though he’s yet to release an official body of work, he’s slowly gained momentum as the one to look out for in Memphis. Records such as “Come & Get Me,” “In My City,” and “At The Store” with Bankroll Freddy became regional hits.

Though Moneybagg Yo continues to expand the Bread Gang Ent. clique, he’s working towards the release of his forthcoming album. Last week, the rapper teamed up with fellow CMG signee GloRilla for their new collab, “On Wat U On.” Prior to that, he released singles like “Quickie” and “Blow” in anticipation of his follow-up to 2021’s A Gangsta’s Pain.

Moneybagg Yo & GloRilla’s Collab Brings The Heat To Our “Fire Emoji” Playlist

Our first Fire Emoji update of the year began with a new joint from Ice Spice, “In Ha Mood.” This weekend, we’re continuing to show love to our rising female artists. Specifically, we have a shoutout to GloRilla’s new collaboration with Moneybagg Yo – “On Wat U On.”

Both Southern-hailing rappers had an impressive run in 2022. Their latest work proves that the trend will likely continue into the new year. More new music and other projects are on the way from them both.

Another joint track we love comes from 21 Lil Harold and 21 Savage with “Ain’t On None.” The former rapper dropped off his After The Curse album on Friday (January 13). It comes complete with other appearances from Young Nudy, G Herbo, and Nardo Wick.

He certainly had a dramatic week with Big Scarr’s family throwing shade at him on social media. However, that didn’t stop Gucci Mane from bringing the heat. His latest release comes in the form of the Fire Emoji worthy “King Snipe” with Kodak Black.

“I’m that n*gga that smack all the smackers so I am the biggest stepper, five-five,” the Florida native spits on the first verse. “I’m a hot boy, my bitch the coldest, yeah, opposite attract / You got one time to raise your voice in here, then I’ma get the strap.”

Following that comes Armani White and Denzel Curry’s work together on “GOATED.” as well as Swizz Beatz and Jadakiss“Hustle, Repeat” alongside the Godfather of Harlem.

Our final Fire Emoji selection for your weekend streaming comes from ALLBLACK and Curren$y, who dropped off “Pelicans” this Friday.

Further down, you’ll hear previous releases from names like French Montana, Popcaan, NBA YoungBoy, and more.

Stream our weekly Fire Emoji update exclusively on Spotify below. Additionally, make sure to check back on Sunday to find more new music on our R&B Season playlist.

Moneybagg Yo Says He Doesn’t Have Management

Moneybagg Yo is quickly becoming one of the most popular rappers in the game. Thanks to his hard-hitting sound and several hit songs, he continues to put on for the South’s booming scene.

During a recent brief interview, however, he surprisingly reveals that he doesn’t even have a management team.

During the Rap Snacks Disrupt Event, hip-hop media personality Supa Cindy asked the 31-year-old how he chooses what to participate in on the business side of his career.

“At this moment, I really don’t have management, you know what I’m sayin’? I feel like my team, CMG, Ellis and Bread Gang, all of us align together and we make things happen. And we make it look good, look at where we’re at now, you know what I’m sayin’? So at this point in time, unfortunately I don’t, but you know, it is what it is,” reveals the “Time Today” rapper.

Regardless, the 31-year-old has certainly been seeing plenty of success lately. Yo Gotti signed Moneybagg to his label, Collective Music Group (CMG) in 2016. Just last year, the team dropped their first compilation mixtape, Gangsta Art. Moneybagg makes several appearances on the 27-track project. This includes two of the most popular songs, “Steppers” and his solo track, “See Wat I’m Sayin.”

Of course, the Memphis native is still fresh off the release of his newest single, “On Wat U On.” Featuring GloRilla, the track finds the two CMG signees going back and forth in the format of a couple arguing.

Additionally, it seems as though the “Wockesha” rapper is gearing up to drop another project. Last Sunday (January 8), he took to his social media accounts to begin teasing a new 22-track tape. His last album, A Gangsta’s Pain, arrived in 2021. “My Album Is A Heartless Edition Hope Y’all Ready,” he writes in his tweet.

What are your thoughts on Moneybagg Yo not having a management team? Comment below. Finally, make sure you stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest updates and stories.

Memphis Royalty Moneybagg Yo And GloRilla Team Up For Duet “On Wat U On”

Screen Shot 2023 01 12 at 9.57.33 AM

Tennessee rappers Moneybagg Yo and GloRilla join forces for the ferocious new single “On Wat U On,” out today via CMG/N-Less/Interscope Records. The ready-made crowd-pleaser, which finds the collaborators trading bars, cleverly breaks down a lover’s quarrel. The no-holds-barred track is accompanied by a fiery video that captures a heated argument about trust and infidelity. Watch it HERE.

Over a classic, bass-heavy beat and propulsive piano arrangement, Bagg expresses exasperation about the work it takes to make romance go the distance. “Asking me ‘bout b****es in a city that she think I’m f***ing,” he spits, “Look dead in her eyes before I lie, I’d rather tell her nothing.” GloRilla isn’t about to take that disrespect and fires back: “Ain’t got s*** to say now huh, dumbass?”  As catchy as it is relatable, “On Wat U On” is a surefire hit. 

The visualizer takes a literal approach, showing a couple in the midst of a heated argument. Inspired by scenes from the cult classic movie “Baby Boy,” GloRilla finds a pack of contraceptives in the backseat when they pull up to a drive-thru window and calls out Bagg. The back-and-forth makes its way back to their apartment, and finally outside again, where Glo picks up a large rock and aims for his windshield to truly show her anger.
