Keke Palmer’s Mother Speaks Out, Calls Out Sarunas J. Jackson: “He’s The Biggest F-Boy In Hollywood”

by

The drama continues. In a shocking twist to the ongoing battle between Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson, Keke’s mother, Sharon Palmer, has broken her silence. She took to social media to shed light on a year-long saga of alleged abuse and family dynamics. In a posted video, Sharon Palmer made explosive claims, stating that she had informed Sarunas J. Jackson about Darius’s abusive behavior towards her daughter a year ago. According to Sharon, Darius learned these destructive patterns from his own brother, Sarunas.

Expressing her distress, Sharon Palmer asserted, “Look, I’ve never done anything like this. I’ve been in this business for 22 years, I’ve seen a lot of stuff, but I can’t help myself,” she started. “For Sarunas Jackson to post on his Twitter the ridiculous stuff he’s posting, when he knew his brother was abusive is beyond belief. He admitted to being abusive too, so now he’s posting on Twitter… We know he’s the biggest F-boy in Hollywood. He’s disrespectful to women, just like his brother. He taught his brother how to be abusive, so he doesn’t get to act like he’s some special Fod. No, you’re an F-boy, and you’re part of the problem.”

Sharon Palmer’s revelations bring a new dimension to an already complex and contentious situation. The allegations of abuse against Darius Jackson have been at the forefront of the legal battle initiated by Keke Palmer, who filed for full custody of their eight-month-old son and a restraining order against Darius. The involvement of family members, particularly Sarunas J. Jackson, adds layers to the unfolding drama. This all started when Sarunas posted a tweet that seemingly called Keke Palmer “vile.” The tweet has since been deleted.

“The most disgusting, vile, abusive, manipulative person I have EVER encountered in my entire life,” Sarunas J. Jackson wrote. “Abuses almost everyone. Y’all will see. Just send positive energy to the babies.. Any child in the middle of something like this does not deserve it at all. Wow. So damn sad.” The coming days will undoubtedly bring more revelations and reactions, shaping the narrative surrounding Keke Palmer, Darius Jackson, Sarunas J. Jackson, and the serious allegations at the heart of this ongoing saga. Stay tuned to HNHH for more.

Blueface Declares Jaidyn Alexis A “Star” After “Barbie” Performance In School Gym

by

Blueface is putting money behind the mother of his first son’s rap career, somehow proving that Chrisean Rock’s viral success wasn’t necessarily a fluke. The rapper’s fully invested into Jaidyn Alexis’s career as an artist. Her numbers have been steadily growing on YouTube but it’s the single, “Barbie” that has TikTok in a chokehold. Alexis’s latest record, which seemingly contained shots at Chrisean Rock, has now made an impression on the Billboard charts, rising on the ​​TikTok Billboard Top 50 and recently debuting the Emerging Artists charts.

Evidently, Alexis’ latest feat translates to real life. Although she hasn’t been warmly embraced on stage in the past, her recent appearance at a California made it clear that the chart success translates to real life. Blueface and Jaidyn popped out at Santa Fe College during 310babii’s set. However, the response for Jaidyn was quite impressive. The crowd began getting extremely hyped, singing “Barbie” with the Milf Music star word-for-word. “Jaidyn is a super star,” Blueface wrote alongside a video of Jaidyn performing “Barbie.”

Jaidyn Alexis Earns Celebrity Praise

Things only seem to be growing in Jaidyn’s rap career. Following her deal with Columbia Records, she found herself receiving much praise from some prominent figures. Blueface recently listed a number of celebrities who’ve shown their support for Jaidyn in recent months. Artists like Wiz Khalifa, Chloe Bailey, Saucy Santana, BIA, and Yung Miami have shown support, alongside viral figures like Jayda Cheaves, Ari Fletcher, and Natalie Nunn. Evidently, Blueface isn’t as bothered with the attention Jaidyn received as he allegedly did with Chrisean Rock.

Amid their ongoing feud, Blueface seemingly got under Chrisean Rock’s skin. Chrisean responded to Blue with a list of artists she claims he had issues with after they began supporting her. She listed Lil Baby and Rick Ross, who Blue called out publicly, along with Drake, among others. Regardless, it seems that Blueface has positioned Jaidyn Alexis for success. Check out the video of her performance above.

Lil Pump Gets Shoutout From Donald Trump At Florida Rally: Watch

by

Lil Pump is someone who has been a huge Trump guy over the past few years. Overall, it all started when Pump began advocating for the former President during his 2020 reelection campaign. Eventually, Trump even brought Pump up on stage and called him “Lil Pimp.” It was a pretty ridiculous situation, however, it made the rapper a mainstay among the MAGA crowd. Now, a whole new audience knows who he is, even if they don’t care at all for his music. It’s an interesting spot to be in, but alas.

Heading into the 2024 Presidential election, Pump is going hard for Trump again. He was recently at Ole Miss where he led a pro-Donald Trump rant. Furthermore, he was recently invited to Trump’s rally in Florida, which took place on Wednesday. In the footage below, courtesy of TMZ, you can see Trump giving Pump a shoutout. In fact, this time around, Trump was actually able to get his name right, which probably felt really good for the rapper.

Lil Pump At The Trump Rally

“He’s one of the few — rapper Lil Pump,” Trump said when speaking on his support amongst rappers. Most rappers you talk to will say they don’t mess with Trump all that much. However, others like Sexyy Red have shown a bit of support here and there. As for Pump’s standing within the campaign itself, he will probably make a few more appearances before the end of the campaign. At this stage, there isn’t even a guarantee that Trump will be the Republican nominee. Based on current polls, however, he does have a great chance of winning.

Only time will tell whether or not Pump has any affect on Trump’s chances. Let us know what you think of this latest move from Pump, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will always be sure to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists.

Jack Harlow Makes A Charming Reintroduction On His Energetic New Single, ‘Lovin’ On Me’

by

Jack Harlow has a sexy new bop on his hands. Tonight (November 10), the Louisville rapper, has shared “Lovin’ On Me,” which precedes a new album.

On “Lovin’ On Me,” Harlow delivers his signature cheeky bars, but also steps into his pop bag by showing off his vocal chops.

“I don’t like no whips and chains / Baby, you can’t tie me down / But you can whip your lovin’ on me, baby / Whip your lovin’ on me, baby,” he rap-sings on the song’s chorus.

Back in April, Harlow released his third studio album, Jackman. While the album received acclaim, Harlow was noticeably absent from the radio waves this past summer, despite having charts in a chokehold over the previous few years.

Harlow took to Twitter to explain his hiatus and revealed more new music is on the way.

“Thank u for allowing me to reset this year,” said Harlow. “I moved back to Kentucky and gave u an album I could not have made on the road. Surrounded by family & childhood friends this has been one of the happiest years of my life.”

You can see the video for “Lovin’ On Me” above.

The Kid Laroi Faces The Realities Of The Teenage Dream In His New Video For ‘Sorry’

by

The Kid Laroi is living the dream. Tonight (November 10), the Australian superstar released his long-awaited debut album, The First Time. And while he’s living that popstar life, he is realizing that the life of an artist isn’t always peachy.

On “Sorry,” the intro track from The First Time, Laroi grapples with the ups and downs of fame.

“I mean, the pressure’s immense / I’m 19, trying navigate money and stress / Weird industry friends and my family life is intense / And my girl is always upset ’cause I’m always f*ckin’ workin’ / Sh*t, I expect some respect / Can’t even go on the ‘net without someone goin’ for my neck,” he rap sings on one of the song’s verses.

While a life of artistry isn’t always easy, Laroi knows this is his true passion, and is willing to go through the bad to get to the good.

In the song’s accompanying video, Laroi is seen pedaling his bike down a road, walking through the city, contemplating the gravity of the choices he’s made. Elsewhere in the video, fans may notice similarities to Laroi’s “Let Her Go” video.

You can see the video for “Sorry” above.

When Does The Rolling Loud LA 2024 Lineup Come Out?

It has been a little under a month since Rolling Loud announced the dates for its 2024 return to Los Angeles, and fans are understandably antsy for more information. Rolling Loud’s social media manager, meanwhile, has been delighted to tease them with the possibility of updates like the one below. It doesn’t look like fans will have to wait too long to see the lineup, as Rolling Loud writes, “feels like a lucky month to announce a lineup.”

That means we can probably expect to learn who’s performing at next year’s LA show sometime this month. The 2023 edition of the festival, which took place in early March, was headlined by Future, Playboi Carti, and Travis Scott and featured a lineup including standout performances from Coi Leray, Ice Spice, Ken Carson, Larry June, Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Yachty, and more. It also established its new venue in Hollywood Park, Inglewood (just outside the SoFi Stadium) as a well-suited location for its upcoming 10th-anniversary celebrations (and fifth year in the City of Angels)

So it’s good to know that it’ll be returning there in 2024. Rolling Loud LA is scheduled for March 15-17, with tickets already on sale. You can more information on the Roling Loud website.

Paramore’s ‘Misery Business’ Gets Approval From Chlöe And Sexyy Red In The Return Of ‘React Like You Know’

by

React Like You Know is back!

It’s been a long time — we shouldn’t have left you. But to make it up, our Studio crew — Carolyn Droke, Cherise Johnson, and Steve Vasquez — rounded up a new group of Gen Z faves to run through the millennial video mill and their reactions make the wait more than worth it.

This week, we’ve got Paramore‘s “Misery Business” video, with Uproxx cover stars Chloe Bailey and Coi Leray, Na-Kel Smith, NLE Choppa, Reason, Sexyy Red, and more giving their takes on the fashion and sounds of the 2000s — as well as sharing their stories about living through the song’s lyrical scenario.

As Cherise explains, “It’s Paramore’s version of ‘she can’t love you like I love you’” (what Choppa calls one of “man’s best headaches”). The artists share their stories about being torn between options and getting into literal fights over boys.

Meanwhile, Reason is mystified by Paramore’s looks, asking “Did white people in high school look like this?” Sexyy Red approves of Hayley Williams’ hair, while Chloe has fond memories of her and her sister Halle’s “Paramore and Avril Lavigne phase” joking, “That’d be me, breaking down and crying.”

What Time Is The 2024 Grammy Nominations Announcement?

Make your predictions now, because the 2024 Grammy Awards nominations are being announced this week. Albums released from October 1, 2022, to September 15, 2023, are eligible, so fans of acts like Drake and Taylor Swift can’t help but hold their collective breath as they wait to see whether they’ll faves will secure nominations — and what awards they could be nominated for.

The announcements will be made on Friday, November 10. However, the Grammys website doesn’t have a specific time. Last year, the nominations began rolling out at around noon ET, so that’s probably a good time to look for them this year.

Earlier this year, the Recording Academy revealed a few changes to the Awards’ format, including adding new categories under the pop, jazz, and African music fields while reducing the number of nominees in the “Big Four” categories (Best New Artist, Album, Song, and Record of the Year). This was done to reduce the length of the ceremony itself as well as consolidating voting for difficult choices and dark horses.

While the Academy didn’t specifically cite the reaction to the snub of Beyoncé’s Renaissance for Album Of The Year, Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. did acknowledge it, pointing out his hope in expanding Academy membership to ensure that voting encompassed the breadth of music and not just a few elitist artists and categories.

Can You See Your Spotify Wrapped From Past Years?

As it gets closer to the end of the year, Spotify users wait to see just exactly what songs and artists will make the top of their annual Spotify Wrapped lists. For those who don’t know, to close out the holiday season, Spotify gives all users a list of their most-played statistics — designed in an entertaining format. Last year also saw some new features, including giving individual users their “Listening Personality Type.”

For new users or those who just might want to see what they enjoyed in years past, here’s what to know about if you can see old Spotify Wrapped editions.

While you won’t exactly be able to see the old Spotify Wrapped pop-up from past years unless you screenshotted it and saved it somewhere, users can see their “Top Songs” playlist for each year, going several years back — but only if you chose to save your Wrapped list as one at the time.

Since Spotify only started doing the annual Wrapped drops in 2016, users won’t be able to see anything before that in terms of data. However, six years (going on seven for 2023) of knowing your favorites is still a special treat, making it fun to look back on the songs you loved.

Right now, Spotify users should see their new ones by next month.
