Cam’ron Announces His Mother’s Death

by

Cam’ron says that his mother, Fredericka Giles, has passed away. The legendary New York rapper reflected on their relationship during an emotional tribute post on Instagram, Saturday. He began the statement by admitting that he’s struggling to find the strength to put his feeling into words.

“Right now, I don’t have the strength to put into words to express what my mom means to me, and I’d have to right (sic) a book and maybe I will,” he wrote. From there, he explained: “In 2007 my mom had a stroke leaving her partially paralyzed on her left side and a speech impediment, but if you followed her or was her friend on social media you would never know any of that. She was witty, funny, intelligent, sarcastic, and outspoken. People would say ‘Cam I know you’re writing ya moms’ captions’ and I wasn’t. I would see my moms’ captions and say ‘Where are you learning this?’ (Lingo) she’d tell me ‘be easy lil homie’ lol.”

Cam’ron’s Tribute

“I’m so sad to inform you guys of her passing. I wasn’t going to share this because I’m in a lot of pain and Didn’t think it was anyone’s business, But thinking about it, I really wanted to thank you all for making my moms’ days and nights for the last decade or so,” he explained. “Social media was her go-to for, entertainment, news, general gossip etc.”

Later in the post, Cam’ron reflected on being with her on his most recent birthday. He wrote: “She wasn’t doing well on my bday that just passed, and when I walked in her room (in the hospital) she was on IG saying, ‘Everyone wants to know what’s up with me ’cause I didn’t post for your bday.’ I said do you want me to help you make one? She was like ‘Nah,’ She wouldn’t want anybody else posting for her. She felt that like having a ghostwriter I guess. So, this message is really for y’all guys (her social media friends) thank you all for liking, loving, and appreciating my mom,” he concluded before calling her his “biggest supporter” and “best friend.” Cam’ron concluded by sharing that her funeral will be held in Harlem on February 23.

by

XXXTentacion’s mother, Cleopatra “Cleo” Bernard, shared a post for her late son on Instagram, Monday, in honor of his birthday. XXXTencation would’ve been 25 years old.

She continued: “Here’s to continuing to have you touch millions of hearts around the world LLJ!”

Numerous fans joined Cleo in wishing X a happy birthday in the comments of her post.

Also celebrating X’s birthday, a new track from the late rapper featuring Lil Uzi Vert titled “I’m Not Human” was released. Uzi previously addressed appearing on a posthumous song for X back in 2021 on Instagram Live. At the time, he was hesitant to do so.

“He called me one time when he was incarcerated a long time ago and I was going onstage—I was on tour with the Weeknd—he called me and he actually rapped a song for me that he never laid, and it was really good,” Uzi explained. “I would love to do a song with him but I’m really weird on stuff like that. Don’t get me wrong, it took me really long to do that before with another artist. … I understand that they’re not here living, and what if that’s not the vision that they really want? Especially if they really fucked with me, like, what if that’s all wrong?”

Summer Walker In The Studio On Mom Duty

by

Summer Walker posted some clips of her in the studio recently, although she’s clearly also in mom mode. The Atlanta native brought her breast pumps to the studio and shared a candid video of her eating and spinning around in her chair. Moreover, it’s far from the first time that Walker’s teased fans with studio time, new music, or something else on the horizon.

Furthermore, many in the comments of The Shade Room‘s post argued over the post, for some reason. Many just shouted the singer out for her openness or said that she looks great after birthing twins. However, some were defending her waist trainer and calling out others for unrightfully saying she got surgery. It was a weird section, for sure, but it just goes to show the star power. Even when it’s about a piece of food or clothing in an innocent video, Summer Walker’s bound to turn heads.

Moreover, she recently opened up about her process of motherhood and what it means to her.

“I really reached my goal of hella kids before 30,” the “No Love” star wrote on her IG story. Right after giving birth, she shared some more thoughts.

“I’m so proud of myself,” she said. “Just sharing to inspire other women, cause I know once you carry twins to almost 42 weeks, especially with one breech, people will try to steer you towards induction or C-section.

“You can do it,” the 26-year-old continued. “This was my second home birth all natural 7 hrs, no tearing & I couldn’t of done it without my spirit guides, Godparents, birth team, my elders, & the best dad doula ever Larry lol, he was so hands on the whole time I was really impressed it wasn’t easy but it gets done.”

Also, Walker’s teased new project might harken back to some of her R&B and soul roots. While she’s found a lot of success in these lanes, many feel like she doesn’t get her due credit. Apparently, she agrees, as she penned a predictive message on Instagram after being snubbed for Grammy nominations. “These award shows gone play me [regardless] ima go back to making the soul music I love.”

Still, what do you think of Summer Walker in mom mode in the studio? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, log back into HNHH for the latest in celebrity maternity and upcoming releases.
