Halle Bailey’s Son Halo Has Her Feeling More Inspired Than Ever

February 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

At the end of last year, Halle Bailey welcomed her first child with her boyfriend DDG, Halo. Since then, the Little Mermaid star has given fans throwback glimpses at her pregnancy journey, her transition to motherhood, and more. Based on their social media posts, the young couple is having a blast with the newest member of their family, surrounding themselves with loved ones and ignoring online negativity.

While baby Halo certainly arrived at a busy time in Bailey’s career, she hasn’t let being a parent slow her down. In fact, during a recent interview with The Associated Press at the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards, she shared that she feels more inspired than ever to create. “I have never felt more creatively inspired in my whole life,” she told the outlet. “This is such a beautiful time for me because I truly feel like I’m venturing into my womanhood. I feel like a woman now, after having a baby. So, it opens up this whole other portal to write about stuff.”

She went on to tease some upcoming solo music, which she described as “a fusion of all the genres that [she loves].” For obvious reasons, fans are looking forward to hearing what she has in store for them, including her upcoming album with her sister Chloe. While details of that remain unclear, it’ll surely answer ongoing demands for a Chloe x Halle revival.

“It feels really, really great,” she told Billboard of the joint album at the Grammys. “It’s just, like, so nostalgic, and reminds us of our days when we did covers on YouTube.” What do you think of Halle Bailey’s recent comments about her son, Halo? Are you looking forward to hearing her new music? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Naomi Osaka Praises Cordae For Helping Make Parenting Easy

December 14, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Naomi Osaka has heaped praise upon Cordae for his role in parenting their daughter, who was born earlier this year. “We built a really good foundation. I don’t know if it’s because he’s just an easygoing guy, but I think we just respect each other’s opinions. And if we disagree on something, we talk it out. At the end of the day, we both want what’s best for Shai,” Osaka told InStyle earlier this week.

Furthermore, Osaka spoke on some of the trials and tribulations of her pregnancy. She revealed that she had tested positive for Group B streptococcus. While it’s something that millions of women go through, it can still lead to things like sepsis and stillbirth. Additionally, the sudden childbirth death of Olympian Tori Bowie sparked a lot of anxiety within Osaka. “I was kind of starting to freak out a little bit. There were so many things I wasn’t aware of.” Osaka said.

Did Osaka And Cordae Break Up?

Osaka’s comments appear to indicate that she and Cordae did not break up in October as was previously rumored. A tweet from Osaka had fans speculating that she may have broken up with the rapper. “I just want someone that will watch the sunset with me,” Osaka wrote on social media while also removing any trace of her child’s father from her online presence. However, it wasn’t the first time that Osaka has hinted at a breakup. On September 27, she wrote “the art of loving yourself” while also liking a post about “walking away from those who don’t value you”. For Cordae’s part, he did not acknowledge Osaka’s birthday this week and appeared absent from her celebrations.

The couple has been together since July 2019, when Cordae officially confirmed rumors that had been circulating since April. The pair weathered Osaka’s decline from the highest echelon of pro tennis as she suffered injuries and chose to step back to focus on her mental health.

Ronda Rousey Focused On Motherhood, Not Wrestling

December 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Ronda Rousey has told TMZ that she has no immediate plans to return to wrestling, instead focusing on motherhood for the time being. There was speculation that after her contract with the WWE expired, she might move to the rival AEW promotion. However, that does not appear to be the case. “[I’m] just trying to be home with the family, and be a full-time mom,” Rousey said. The speculation arose after Rousey made an appearance on Ring of Honor, a promotion owned by AEW, in November.

Rousey has mostly stepped away from sports since giving birth to her daughter, La’akea. She’s been out of MMA since leaving the UFC in 2016. Furthermore, his time on the WWE, which began in 2018, has never been consistent. She has been used as a surprise gimmick here and there. The primary stint of her wrestling in 2023 has been with independent promotions such as Lucha VaVoom and Wrestling Revolver.

Conor McGregor Announces Birth Of Baby Boy

Meanwhile, one of Rousey’s former UFC cohort recently expanded their own family. Yesterday, Conor McGregor announced the birth of his fourth child earlier today. “My baby boy is born! Mammy and baby doing amazing, 8.1lbs of prime Irish double champion beef! ,” McGregor wrote on Instagram. Dee Devlin, McGregor’s long-time fiancee, gave birth this morning after McGregor announced she was in labor last night. The pregnancy was announced back in June, with the couple already sharing three kids – Conor Jr, Croia, and Rian. Later in the day, McGregor shared another update. “Another chunky healthy boy into the world. Dee, you are my hero ,” the MMA fighter wrote on social media.

McGregor and Devlin have been together since around 2008, which also marks the start of McGregor’s MMA career. The couple met at a nightclub in Dublin right before McGregor began to pursue his MMA dream. They got engaged in 2020 and plan to have a wedding in Ireland in the coming years. As for their other kids, McGregor has previously said that Conor Jr is already starting to perfect his MMA moves.

Chrisean Rock’s Wikipedia Page Temporarily Updated To Reflect Second Child She Hopes To Have

November 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Chrisean Rock left us shocked when she first announced her pregnancy in January of this year. The Baltimore-born entertainer has proven time and time again that she has plenty of growing up to do in terms of her mental and emotional maturity. This has led some to question how ready she would be by the time her baby was born. She’s obviously made her share of mistakes since Junior arrived in September. Nevertheless, Rock is growing and getting better with each passing day. This past weekend she celebrated her baby boy’s two months Earthside. As she continues to recover, the Baddies cast member hasn’t held her tongue about wanting more kids.

She and Blueface have been feuding practically non-stop since she told him she’s pregnant. Because of this, we were doubtful about a second child coming to Rock from Blue. However, she’s alleged that they’ve slept together multiple times this fall, even with the 26-year-old getting on one knee and proposing to his first baby mama, Jaidyn Alexis. The new mother has also been antagonizing her rapper ex with a new beau – Lil Mabu – who she also claims to be in bed with regularly.

Chrisean Rock is Serious About Expanding Her Family

No pregnancy have been taken (that we know of). Still, Rock’s Wikipedia page was temporarily updated to reflect the infant she hopes to bring into the world. As revealed in a screenshot on Twitter a few days ago, someone wrote, “one, and another expected to be on the way” under the Cr*zy In Love star’s profile where it asks about her children. It’s since been returned to its normal state. Nevertheless, we’re curious to see if Chrisean will follow in Rihanna’s footsteps by announcing another pregnancy so soon.

This past weekend, the drama between Chrisean Rock and her baby daddy was minimal. However, Blueface’s mom, Karlissa Saffold, spilled some telling tea while going Live a few days ago, suggesting that her youngest grandson’s mom has a chance at reconciling with the “Thotiana” rapper still. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Chrisean Rock Hires Nanny As Junior Turns Two Months Old: “He’s Growing, He’s Strong”

November 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Motherhood likely hasn’t been exactly what Chrisean Rock was expecting, but still, the 23-year-old is doing her best to learn from her mistakes and show up for Junior as often as possible. Today (November 3), the infant is celebrating two months of life, and his mom is clearly in her feelings while marking the milestone for him. Earlier this afternoon she sent out a commemorative tweet to allow others in on the occasion. It’s since gotten plenty of positive attention for the mother-son duo.

It’s been speculated that Rock’s intent in getting pregnant was to keep her baby daddy, Blueface, in her life. However, if true, those plans have backfired as the Baltimore native has been raising their son virtually on her own since giving birth in September. She and the little one have had their share of viral mishaps, but rather than letting overwhelm get the best of her, Chrisean shared on Instagram Live that she’s hired a maid to help keep up with housework and other chores.

Chrisean Rock Celebrates Her Son’s Growth

“I thank God for help because I cannot be the maid and the mommy at the same time. That s**t’s like, not my type of style,” Rock told her followers ahead of the weekend. According to her, having a full house to take care of is far too much responsibility with a newborn, and she would rather channel her energy toward Chrisean Jr. and his well-being.

Later on in her stream, the Baddies cast member showed how much her firstborn has grown in just two months. “He’s growing, he’s strong,” Rock said, updating us on Junior’s health after his hernia surgery.

Chrisean Rock Apologizes To Keke Palmer: “Mothers Should Uplift Each Other”

September 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Blueface isn’t the only person Chrisean Rock is constantly changing her mind on. The 23-year-old has now also issued an apology to Keke Palmer – another new mother – who sent an outpouring of support to her fellow star via social media to start off the week. Unfortunately, the message wasn’t particularly well received, seemingly due to the large amount of stress Rock is currently under. Her emotions have been running higher than normal due to her baby daddy, Blueface’s questionable decision to post a photo of their son’s genitals on Twitter. The “Thotiana” rapper now claims he was hacked, but few are buying the story.

When Rock first came across Palmer’s message of support, she expressed a desire for people to text or DM her instead of speaking out on her behalf. There’s hardly been a day when the Baltimore native hasn’t been publicly slammed since announcing her pregnancy. As a result, it’s understandable that she’s feeling so fed up now. After taking some time to reflect and re-read the lengthy think piece, however, Chrisean felt inclined to apologize to the 30-year-old for lashing out earlier in the day.

Chrisean Rock Walks Back Shade Thrown at Keke Palmer

“I’m glad Keke entered the chat,” the Baddies cast member tweeted on Monday (September 25) afternoon. “Other mothers should uplift each other instead [of] other s**t.” I’m sorry Keke, I read it wrong [and] got to popping my s**t ‘cuz this s**t so sensitive [right now],” Rock emotionally vented. “I’m just done with [people] speaking up against me through a sensitive situation [right now].”

Keke Palmer likely didn’t expect her comments on Blueface and Chrisean Rock’s messy situation to make headlines. Of course, the 30-year-old probably knew she’d be in the news when she had far less to say on the topic of her own relationship status. In her latest interview, Palmer was asked where she and Darius Jackson stand after this summer’s infamous Usher controversy. Read her coy answer at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Chrisean Rock Brushes Off Keke Palmer’s Emotional Reaction To Her Son’s Hernia News

September 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Chrisean Rock and her weeks-old son have been spotted outside nearly every day since the little one’s birth, and with every trip has come criticism for the 23-year-old’s unique parenting style. The most recent bout of drama unfolded after her co-parent, Blueface, revealed that their baby boy has a hernia during an interview with Adam22 and Wack 100. When that news went viral, the father of three made the disappointing decision to post a photo of his baby’s genitals online while putting Rock on blast for allegedly neglecting to deal with the issue.

Plenty of people have been chiming in on the disturbing situation, including another new mother, Keke Palmer. “This is so sad to me, especially as a new mom,” the Chicago native wrote on Instagram on Monday (September 25). “I didn’t wanna say nothing or involve myself [in] anything but my heart is breaking for all involved. This is exactly what maternal health care is about,” the former child star began her rant. She then reminded readers that it doesn’t matter how they feel about Rock – at the end of the day, she still deserves adequate help and care.

“Why doesn’t anyone care about her or any of THE OTHER MOTHERS THAT ARE STRUGGLING?” Palmer asked. “She is just ONE but the face of MANY! Was anyone there to help Chrisean’s mother and support her through maternal health care? How was she able to help her kids as a single mother?” she continued to rant. Though she obviously put a lot of thought and feeling into her message, it missed the mark with the Baltimore-born entertainer. “Keke Palmer we got each other’s number,” Rock tweeted this morning. “[You] chiming in like we don’t [have] each other’s number is whatever… Junior’s dad is just somebody that I have to really stay away from,” she acknowledged.

“I gave him the benefit of [the] doubt. But everyone that’s speaking on my behalf, hit my DM or ask me for my number.” Whether you love or hate her, it’s hard to deny that Chrisean Rock’s name has hardly been out of the news cycle since she announced her pregnancy in January. This past weekend, Adam22 and Tasha K got to discussing the Baddies cast member on the No Jumper podcast, at which time the latter content creator described Rock as a “trainwreck.” Read what else was said about the new mother at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Tamika Mallory On Chrisean Rock: “We Are Ready To Help”

September 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Recently, NYC-based activist Tamika Mallory took to social media to offer her support to Chrisean Rock. Chrisean just recently had her first child, a son named Chrisean Jr., with Blueface. Since he arrived, she’s been subject to a great deal of criticism online. Most recently, she was spotted at Walmart with the newborn, and the child appeared to be improperly secured in his carrier. This got a lot of attention, with many claiming that she was putting him at risk.

Blueface has also been quick to judge Chrisean, accusing her very early on of not making him her top priority. With that being said, adjusting to new motherhood is no easy feat. Mallory wants to make sure that the 23-year-old feels properly supported in her journey. She wrote a message to the reality star today, letting her know that she and other women have her back.

“My heart goes out to Chrisean,” Mallory began. “I was a young single mother and it is NO JOKE.” She then went on to describe how she herself struggled to navigate motherhood, and made mistakes that at times, impacted her child. “While we sit and watch sis struggling to find her way, I want to offer support,” she explained. “Please let her know there are a group of women ready to help her (we’ve already discussed ways we can support). When she said ‘instead of filming me, help me’ it hit me to my core. I know it’s not easy or convenient to intervene in the affairs of people you don’t know, but I do it all the time.”

“If anyone knows Chrisean,” Mallory also added, “tell her we are ready to help.” What do you think of Tamika Mallory offering support to Chrisean Rock? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Chrisean Rock.

Chrisean Rock Walmart Video: Reality Star Disses Blueface’s Mom & Explains Herself To Haters

September 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Unfortunately for Chrisean Rock and her fans, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to defend the new mother’s behaviour. Since giving birth for the first time earlier this month, she and her baby boy have been outside with reckless abandon. First, Rock faced backlash for taking him to a football game while still wearing her hospital bracelet. After that, she also brought Chrisean Jr. to the studio for his debut appearance in Blueface’s “Baby Momma Drama” visual, bringing more criticism her way.

What the Baddies cast member has felt the most heat for, however, is a video of her at the grocery store, keeping a far more secure hold on her dog than on her son. The clip quickly went viral, earning responses from her baby daddy and his mom, Karlissa Saffold. “Got my baby in the g****** grocery store with the g****** s*** folded over like he doing a backbend like he in the g****** gymnastics already,” she lashed out at Rock on Live earlier this week. Since then, the “Lit” rapper has responded to Saffold, even seemingly threatening physical violence against her co-parent’s mom.

“This is not your grandbaby. It’s my baby, for real,” she hit back at Saffold on her own stream. “You acting like you wanna get beat up again!” Rock yelled, referencing their past altercation. She then addressed Blueface’s tweet about her misusing her baby carrier, as well as the woman who recorded her without consent in the first place. “That video, I get it, it’s hurting and breaking everyone’s hearts… Imma just move slower, ok?” the new mom promised. “That was a complete mistake, but the b**ch that recorded, you’re weird!”

We thought that her pregnancy was a rollercoaster of emotions, but so far, the first few weeks of Chrisean Rock’s journey into motherhood have been chaotic in every way imaginable. She’s facing constant criticism from those online watching her every move, and the Walmart incident appears to be the straw that broke the camel’s back. Nevertheless, the 23-year-old previously promised that she’d “never disrespect” her baby boy, so here’s hoping with a bit more time and coaching she’ll remember to support his neck. Do you think Rock has what it takes to be a great parent? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more music/pop culture news updates.

Chrisean Rock Appears To Be In Labour In Latest Social Media Update

September 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Chrisean Rock’s followers are saying that her pregnancy has felt lengthy for them to witness. We can’t imagine how things are feeling for the 23-year-old. She’s been sharing regular updates along her journey and recently confirmed that the baby growing in her stomach is a boy – much to Blueface’s pleasure. Rock also noted on Twitter that her due date is quickly approaching late last month, and while she didn’t get too specific about when her little one is due, it seems she may meet him today (September 3) based on her recent social media post.

“I’m so mad because I was supposed to perform today,” Rock tells her friend as the camera records. “Hopefully it’s just Braxton Hicks,” she continued, making it clear that she’s been experiencing contractions. “I hope it is, but this s**t has been going off all f**king morning and they hurt so bad I can’t sit down,” the Baddies cast member admitted. In the comments, many women with experience in the birth-giving department declared that this is a sure sign Rock will have her son in her arms in no time.

In other clips, we see the young entertainer straddling the seat of the car on her way to the hospital to make herself more comfortable. “Oh yup! That’s the position Pooh he’s coming today,” one person wrote. Despite the pain she’s obviously feeling, Chrisean seems to be in great spirits and was even laughing with her friends between taking deep breaths.

When Chrisean Rock and Blueface’s son grows a bit older, it’ll be curious to see if they allow him to watch their Cr*zy In Love series on Zeus. In the latest episode, the Baltimore native throws it back on her baby daddy while showing off her growing bump in a tiny outfit. See a preview at the link below, and let us know what you think Rock and Blue should name their new arrival in the comments.
