Jayda Cheaves Spotted In Lil Baby’s New Music Video
Jayda Cheaves and Lil Baby are a good example of a relationship turned into an amicable friendship in the pop culture world. Whether it’s partying or going to Atlanta Hawks games together, the former couple seem to mostly be on good terms. Sure, people online have their own opinions on whether or not Jayda should keep supporting Baby following cheating allegations. Regardless, the two still appear together often, keeping their post-romantic relationship afloat for their son and to just live more peacefully. Furthermore, a recent cameo in the Atlanta rapper’s latest music video gives more credence to that idea.
Just this week, Lil Baby released and shared the video for his long-awaited track “Go Hard,” which fans had already heard. It was one of the many leaked songs from the 28-year-old’s catalog, and it stood as a particular fan favorite online. Despite what many might say online, his fans still ride for him heavily, and there’s hope that he’ll only improve from here. In the video, fans spotted Jayda Cheaves in the background, and people once again debated whether she should stick by his side.

Regardless of those discussions, she made it clear that she was leaving him via Twitter back in March of last year. As such, their relationship has a clear line that she doesn’t intend to cross. “I’m finally standing up,” Jayda Cheaves wrote on her Instagram Story at the time in reference to Lil Baby. “Everything comes to an end. Never force it. Be happy. I’m willing to [X] anybody out for my happiness and peace. I post my own [tea] so I can clown myself before I get clowned. Cuz shiddddd it’s cold out here. Ion know how this [s**t] gon go. Have a beautiful day everyone.”
Meanwhile, Lil Baby is apparently moving on as well, or at least that’s what much of social media believes based on some new pictures. Moreover, fans spotted him dining with Khloé Kardashian earlier this week, which sent fans into a frenzy. Beyond conspiracies surrounding the Kardashian Curse, they expressed surprise at the pairing and now eagerly await a follow-up. With that in mind, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Jayda Cheaves and Lil Baby.
Lola Brooke’s “Just Relax” Single & Music Video Are Seriously Nostalgic: Watch
Like so many of our favourite female rap divas, Lola Brooke’s 2023 is off to a seriously impressive start. She began by collaborating with Maiya The Don on the remix of Flo Milli’s “Conceited,” which came shortly before a solo effort called “So DISRESPECTFUL.” Following that we’ve heard several other remixes, including Hitkidd’s “Shabooya,” “Don’t Play With It” featuring Latto and Yung Miami, and finally, Ciara’s “Da Girls” alongside Lady London.
For her latest featureless release, Brooke shared “Just Relax” on New Music Friday (April 28), much to her fan’s pleasure. As REVOLT notes, the Reefa and Teddy Da Don-produced beat samples Black Sheep’s “The Choice Is Yours,” taking us back in time. To match those vibes, the New Yorker filmed a throwback-inspired video, directed by Shanghaii, which sees her letting loose at a house party with plenty of friends.

“Bitches wan’ be this, ’cause I was always that / N*ggas say they rich? Let’s keep it a stack,” she confidently raps on the chorus. Brooke’s clever bars later continue with “Fresh out the jeweller, gotta keep it on ice / I ain’t your type, me and your bitch not alike,” and “Just know I’m picky, n*ggas never in my tax bracket / Gettin’ busy with these hands, I let a bitch have it.”
Earlier this month, the 29-year-old made an appearance at Nav’s hometown show in Toronto, at which time he also brought out Travis Scott and Meek Mill. Since she first blew up with “Don’t Play With It,” her audience has only continued to expand and admire her more. Tap into Lola Brooke’s “Just Relax” visual on YouTube above, or add the new arrival to your playlist on Spotify/Apple Music. Are you a fan of the single?

Quotable Lyrics:
You know I’m back at it (Back at it), I’m lookin’ back at it (Back at it)
Goin’ crazy in Chanelly, that’s a bad habit
Just know I’m picky, n*ggas never in my tax bracket
Gettin’ busy with these hands, I let a bitch have it

NLE Choppa Disses Soulja Boy After Becoming First Rapper To Drop Music On OnlyFans
Soulja Boy is best known as one of the most braggadocious rappers out today. He’s previously claimed the title of the first hip-hop lyricist to go “viral” on YouTube, as well as the person to influence others to wear BAPE. What he isn’t the first person to do, however, is upload music on OnlyFans. NLE Choppa is taking that prize. He didn’t hesitate to rub it in the “Crank That” hitmaker’s face with a tweet on Sunday (April 23) night.
“Aye @souljaboy, you ain’t posted a music video on OnlyFans yet HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH 
,” the 20-year-old wrote. Some took this as Choppa paying a bit too much attention to Soulja’s NSFW account. Others, however, realized he was boasting about beating his competition to the punch. “NOWWWWW… why are you subscribed to his OF? 
,” someone challenged the “Do It Again” artist.
NLE Choppa Brags About His Latest OnlyFans Feat
Aye @souljaboy you ain’t posted a music video on onlyfans yet HAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH
— NLE Choppa (@Nlechoppa1) April 24, 2023
As HipHopDX notes, Choppa’s “Slut Me Out” music video landed on his OF account recently, featuring an appearance from Sukihana. The song’s accompanying visual earned plenty of criticism online. Specifically, the southern superstar faced backlash for dog-walking his female collaborator on camera. While it may be a bit too salacious for the general public’s enjoyment, those who subscribe to his NSFW account will surely enjoy the adult-centric content.
Previously, the Cottonwood 2 creator claimed he was the “First Artist To Walk A NBA Team Out and It Was The Home Team.” This was in 2022 when he worked with the Memphis Grizzlies ahead of their game. However, Soulja Boy was quick to shut that down, replying, “I been did that three years ago,” along with a YouTube link to his Los Angeles Clippers halftime show performance in 2019. While some social media users pointed out that the two events weren’t exactly the same thing, the Chicago native begged to differ. Ultimately, however, he gave credit where it was due to the younger rapper, ending the debate before it even began. Are you subscribed to NLE Choppa’s OnlyFans?

DDG Is Back With “I’m Geekin” Single & Music Video: Stream
DDG’s love life may have faced a few rough patches so far in 2023, but that hasn’t stopped the Michigan native from delivering new music to his fans. His first single of the year, “Way Too Petty,” was actually inspired by his Twitter beef with ex-girlfriend Rubi Rose, which went down while he was seemingly having problems with current partner Halle Bailey. Following that, the YouTuber also gave us “Reminiscing” and “This Summer,” setting the vibe for the energy he’ll be bringing over the coming months.
Today (April 21), DDG returns with “I’m Geekin,” a short and sweet single accompanied by a Ronnie Lewis-directed music video. In the footage, we see the 25-year-old living lavishly with his family as they catch a flight on a fancy private jet. As expected, his lyrics mostly reflect on the lifestyle he’s built for himself since rising to fame. “I’m on a whole ‘nother level, I’m geekin’ / You think you f*ckin’ with me? Boy, you tweakin’,” DDG cautions any potential ops on the chorus.

It remains unclear if “I’m Geekin” and the multi-talent’s other recent singles will appear on a project, or are simply solo efforts. His last LP, It’s Not Me It’s You, arrived last year with a slew of noteworthy appearances from the likes of Polo G, Gunna, Kevin Gates, and more. He later returned with a deluxe cut of the album, which boasted four new titles on the tracklist and more guest features coming from Coi Leray, Offset, and finally, Lakeyah.
The year before last, we heard the Pontiac-born entertainer’s Die 4 Respect EP in tandem with OG Parker, which earned the dup plenty of praise. Watch DDG’s “I’m Geekin” music video on YouTube above, or add the single to your playlist on Spotify/Apple Music. Afterward, tell us your thoughts in the comments below.

Quotable Lyrics:

A$AP Rocky Shooting Video In Paris
A$AP Rocky recently got fans recharged for his upcoming musical moves after people spotted him filming a video in Paris. Moreover, it’s most likely for a music video, but other promotional footage isn’t out of the question, either. Regardless, it certainly builds hype back up for his upcoming studio album, reportedly titled Don’t Be Dumb and that should drop at some point this year. Back to the video, though, some of the footage involves Rocky riding a bike and turning up with his crew, all of whom wore white cloths over their faces. All in all, it seems like quite the hyped and excited visual, which we’re sure will come with trippy edits and fantastic shots as usual from the A$AP leader.
In other A$AP Rocky news, Metro Boomin recently shared some words of appreciation for his collaborator. Furthermore, the star producer posted a picture of the two together on Twitter and spoke on their friendship’s history. “Flacko my real brother since Yams introduced us 13 years ago and been solid ever since,” Metro wrote. “I’m 4ever grateful for brosay.” Given that they also teased more collaborations in the future, this also recently got die-hards ecstatic for Rakim Mayers’ next move.

In addition, the “Excuse Me” MC recently appeared alongside one of his close friends, frequent collaborators, and fellow style icon. Tyler, The Creator tapped him for the song “WHARF TALK” off of his recent CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST: The Estate Sale expansion. Not only that, but it was one of the leftover tracks from that album that Tyler had to bring to light. Fortunately, fans didn’t miss out on another stellar track from the duo.
Meanwhile, A$AP Rocky released a few singles for his upcoming album, including the track “Same Problems?” That track saw the 34-year-old in a much more reflective, somber, and conciliatory mind state, reflecting on how his subject matter might impact wider societal issues more negatively. Whether it’s with bangers or with ballads, this is shaping up to be an exciting and definitive return to the studio album space for the New York icon. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on A$AP Rocky.
The Weeknd Teases “Double Fantasy” Video
The Weeknd is making sure that people are aware and excited about his upcoming single with Future, “Double Fantasy.” Moreover, he just took to Instagram to announce the song’s official music video dropping on Friday (April 21) along with the track itself. His tease involved a short clip of presumably the music video on his Instagram page, which gives fans a lot with a little. Furthermore, it features Lily Rose-Depp as the star of their upcoming TV show “The Idol” from HBO. With an accompanying album based on the show on the way from Abel as well, it’s shaping up to be quite the event.
In fact, the entire rollout for this show has been quite the rollercoaster, from beef with Rolling Stone to its provocative and controversially hedonistic subject matter. However, The Weeknd is excited to explore those themes in a compelling way, per his cover story with Interview Magazine. “What drew me to play him was just getting to pretend to be someone else,” the After Hours star said of his on-screen, cult-leader-like character. “It was a challenge, because The Weeknd, obviously, isn’t me. But I drew a lot from myself to create that character. Tedros is nothing like me… Vulnerability is key in the characters you play, no matter how evil they are. If you can find the vulnerability in them, somehow they become likable.”
The Weeknd’s Small Glimpse Into “Double Fantasy” MV
Furthermore, The Weeknd revealed this single to listeners’ ears during his appearance at Metro Boomin’s Coachella set last weekend. Also during his interview with Interview, he spoke on how his work has always carried that somewhat mysterious, controversial aura. “I’ve been judged since the beginning. My stuff’s always kind of been provocative,” Abel Tesfaye remarked. “As an artist, you have to know that you can’t please everybody. You have to accept that it comes with the job.”
In addition, he revealed some of his inspirations for “The Idol,” specifically its accompanying soundtrack and original material. “I’ve been inspired by The Wall and Purple Rain and when Bowie was doing it,” the 33-year-old stated. “But even films like Shaft, the music is literally telling the story of the film. But I want to take it to the next level. I want to challenge myself and I feel like, as a musician, I’m the best I’ve ever been.” Let us know if you’re excited for “The Idol” down below and return to HNHH for the latest on The Weeknd.
6ix9ine Reveals How He Filmed “WAPAE” Music Video
6ix9ine is making a strong and surprising return to music shortly after his viral gym beatdown. Moreover, he recently released a couple of music videos filmed in various locations, traveling down to Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Uganda. His video for his latest single “WAPAE” featured a lot of people in Ugandan communities in particular, and he recently shared some behind-the-scenes footage of such on Instagram. In the clips, he films a crowd of kids dancing, greets everyone, and intermittently chronicles his process. It might not be the most exciting thing in the world, but it’s always interesting to see the video edits and extra details behind a new song or visual clip.
“SMALL RECAP of how I Filmed & Edited the whole #wapae video all on a iPhone ALL in 1 day,” 6ix9ine captioned his post. “To all the artist in the world don’t let nothing stop you from doing what you love. It’s right there just do it. The only person who’s stopping you and is in your way it’s you. Thank you so much to the hyper kids in Uganda for showing me love and allowing me to come to there home. I love you Uganda.”

Despite some haters jumping down the song’s throat, 6ix9ine actually found a lot of success in a short amount of time. “Wow… I just want to say thank you,” the 26-year-old wrote in an appreciative post. “1,300,000 views & #4 already trending in the world in 3 hours. I decided to jump into the Latin market because 1. I am of Latin [descent] & 2. Not the main reason but I did sign a 3,000,000 dollar deal in 2020 for a Latin album that I never delivered. But I never expected to receive the support that you guys have given me. I want to say thank you & I love you.”
Meanwhile, 6ix9ine made big moves after reflecting on how his attack showed people’s true colors. “I think it was cowardly. I think it was opportunistic, but again I’m not mad because I know in the streets there are no rules. I’m at a loss for words because they saw an opportunity and they took it. I think life just keeps going. I can capitalize off of anything. I’m that talented, I don’t need to get beat up to sell a record.” Regardless of your take, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on 6ix9ine.
