Kehlani Recalls “Diabolical” Story About Being Cheated On & Fans Think It Was PartyNextDoor

by

Kehlani recently revealed the “craziest” thing they’ve ever caught someone doing in a relationship and based on the timeline they gave, fans think it was PartyNextDoor. They addressed the topic while speaking about their new song, “Better Not,” during an interview with Nessa on Hot 97. The song is included on their new album, Crash.

The interviewer begins by describing the track as “alarming.” In the lyrics, they rap: “I almost died the night when I caught you in somebody’s Benz (Ooh, ooh) / I better not catch you doing that sh*t again / And you’re not wrong, ’cause you’re not mine / I would choose this dance with you in every life / Though we’re just a little more than friends / I better not catch you doing that sh*t again.”

From there, she asks about the “craziest” thing Kehlani has witnessed. “This is actually psychotic. It’s actually diabolical. I found a stack of Polaroids of all the women that he cheated on me with. He was keeping them in Polaroid form in his travel bag,” Kehlani said. When asked to elaborate, they explained: “I was trying to clean. We were not in town. We weren’t in town and I was like putting things away.” They added that they were 19 or 20 years old at the time. “I was not the girl I am today that would be like, ‘Yo. Wow.’ I was definitely like, ‘Oh my God. Terrifying.’ And I threw them away. He never mentioned it to me and I never said anything. But there were crazier things that happened in that situation so it checks out.” Fans on social media quickly assumed Party was the unnamed person.

50 Cent’s Spirits Lawsuit Leads To Suicide Threat From Alleged Scammer

by

Michael Caruso, one of several people 50 Cent is suing in an alleged embezzlement scheme regarding Beam Suntory, reportedly threatened to commit suicide rather than deal with the legal fallout from the case. According to AllHipHop, the problems began when one of the other defendants, Julious Grant, allegedly tried to extort Caruso. “Money [Michael Caruso’s nickname]…you and your partner have been getting fat at my expense…This is how I want this to work you guys by months end will pay me 600k. I’ll consider this a walk away severance… If you chose not to do so I will… let Fif know the reason he was paying such high margarine [sic]…You and your partner do t [sic] want that kind of smoke from Fif,” Grant reportedly wrote to Caruso in a text message.

Another defendant, Mitchell Green, then decided to admit to wrongdoing and phoned up Caruso and others to reveal the plan. In turn, Caruso allegedly began crying and threatened to commit suicide if Green went through with it.

Saweetie Shuts Down “Nepo Baby” Accusations

by

Saweetie doesn’t want to hear any more accusations about being a “nepo baby” and went on a rant about the narrative on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday. She argued that her parents were absent a lot of her childhood and she still had to take ample risks throughout her career.

“I hate the ‘nepo baby’ narrative,” she wrote. “It spits in the face of the child who grew up barely spending time with her parents because they was too busy hustlin trying to make ends meet. Also, I think saweetie the college girl would have had her ‘wealthy family’ pay for tuition and boarding so that she could enjoy the social experience of college instead of working 4 jobs to support herself. Saying I’m privileged ignores the girl who risked her safety renting rooms off of Craigslist because she believed in herself enough to stay in an expensive city while everyone else was telling her to move home because that’s the safe and better ‘financial option.’ Can’t pay for studio time? No problem. I made car rap videos which is how I got discovered.”

Saweetie concluded: “I’m proud of all the hard work I’ve done/accomplished and will continue to share my story to inspire those who come after me.” Fans joined in agreement with her position in the replies. One user noted: “nepotism is only an issue when the person is mediocre and gets opportunities over people who deserve it more. I don’t think this applies to you tho. It’s clear you have worked hard.” Others argued the concept should be interpreted differently for people of color.

Saweetie Sounds Off On Nepotism

Check out Saweetie’s comments on the nepotism she’s experienced above. She isn’t the only celebrity dealing with the label of “nepo baby.” After the NBA Draft, last week, fans accused LeBron James’ son, Bronny, of benefiting from his parent’s success.

As one of the world’s most recognizable pop stars, Lady Gaga has built a grand stage for championing causes close to her.

The “Poker Face” singer has spoken out in support of transgender rights, same-sex marriage, and more. Mother Monster also has slammed thing such as online bullying.

According to reports, Lady Gaga recently used her voice to get Diddy dropped from his New York law firm due to his ongoing sexual violence allegations. But that’s only partly true. Continue below for clarity.

Did Lady Gaga Force Diddy’s Law Firm To Drop Him?

Diddy (real name Sean Combs) is facing a mountain of legal issues. The former Revolt TV mogul has been named in several lawsuits that allege sexual assault, abuse, battery, and more, included in that pile are fillings from Cassie and Lil Rod. So, was Combs dropped as a client by a law firm he retained? According to Page Six, the answer is yes.

A spokesperson from Grubman, Shire, Meiselas & Sacks, exclusively confirmed that the New York firm no longer represent Combs. However, they denied Lady Gaga was involved in the decision to cut ties with Combs.

“The decision to part ways with Mr. Combs was proactively made by the partners in the firm a number of months ago, as they felt it was the right thing to do,” said the rep. “The report that the decision was the result of client pressure just isn’t true.”

Where did the rumor come from? On June 27, News Nation Now claimed to have received inside information regarding the matter.

“Lady Gaga said she was leaving (the firm) if they didn’t drop Diddy,” a source told the platform. “And she’s too big to lose.”

But this off the record exchange has since been refuted by someone close to Lady Gaga. “That convo never happened,” the contact told Page Six.

Rick Ross Defends Bronny James From Nepotism Accusations

by

Rick Ross doesn’t think the criticism of LeBron James’ son, Bronny, is fair after fans suggested he’s only in the NBA because of nepotism. The veteran rapper voiced his opinion on the situation in a rant on social media, claiming that Bronny’s already a bigger star than most of the league.

“Y’all make me sick. Every two years y’all come up with a new word,” Ross began before listing several other terms including toxicity. “Now, it’s nepotism. Nepotism? 85% of all you motherf*ckers got a job by somebody you know and that ain’t even what I’m referring to. Bronny a bigger star than 95% of the motherf*ckers in the league man. This big business. Little Bronny will sell more Wingstop wings than anybody. 95% of the people that’s in the motherf*cking backup squad and all that sh*t. Y’all wanna say nepotism.”

Ross isn’t the first celebrity to defend Bronny after the Los Angeles Lakers selected him with the 55th pick in the NBA Draft, last week. Stephen A. Smith also said that he’s had enough of the criticism. “We live in a country where nepotism has taken place with white folks religiously forever,” Smith said on ESPN. “We’ve said little to nothing about it. In the NBA specifically, in a league where at least 70% of the players are Black, we’ve seen nepotism with white folks all over the place… and now this happens with LeBron James, a member of the Mount Rushmore of basketball, and all of a sudden you’ve got people running their mouths.”

Drake Comparisons Leave Latto Flattered: “The GOAT”

by

Last week, Latto finally dropped off her new track “Big Mama” following weeks of teasing. So far, the summer-ready single has listeners impressed. Some have even started to draw comparisons between the Atlanta-born performer and other artists, namely Drake. Fortunately, she appears to have taken this as a huge compliment. Yesterday, she took to social media to respond to one user who shared a snippet of her song, writing “Drake’s influence in the culture is UNMATCHED.”

“Drake the goat,” she replied simply, making it clear that she was nothing short of flattered. While most agree that they can hear at least a bit of Drake on the record, others are also comparing her to 21 Savage, Travis Scott, Future, and more. Regardless, she doesn’t appear to mind, and neither do her fans.

Latto Reacts To Fans Hearing Drake’s Influence On “Big Mama”

It looks like Latto might have more on the way too, as during her performance at Atlanta’s HOT 107.9 Birthday Bash earlier this month, she teased the title of her upcoming album. It’s speculated to be called Sugar Honey Iced Tea, though an official title and release date have yet to be revealed. Elsewhere during the performance, she brought out various special guests like 21 Savage, Anycia, Summer Walker, and more. Usher even joined her onstage, and she helped him sing one of his songs due to technical difficulties.

As for Drizzy, he’s yet to address the comparisons, though he was recently spotted bowling with friends using the “69 God” nickname given to him by Kendrick Lamar. What do you think of Latto’s response to fans claiming they can hear Drake’s influence on her new track, “Big Mama”? Do you agree with her or not? Are you looking forward to hearing what she has to offer on her upcoming album? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Diddy’s Twin Daughters Attend BET Experience

by

Diddy’s twin daughters, D’Lila and Jessie, both attended the BET Experience in matching outfits over the weekend. In a viral clip going around social media, the two can be seen standing front row rocking the same black and red cropped shirt, black hat, and necklace. When they catch the camera on them, they both throw up a peace sign with matching nails as well.

When The Neighborhood Talk shared the video on Instagram, fans celebrated the two but also questioned their father. “This is no shade just in general question……. At what age do twins stop matching & get into their own individuality?” one user asked. Another added: “Let’s keep it cute when it comes to these children what their father did has nothing to do with them.” One more fan commented: “They’re such cutie pies. I’ve always loved that about them. They aged appropriately, as normal teens should. They look their age.”

Fans were also obsessing over her performance looking for clues regarding her highly-anticipated sophomore album.

Offset Accused Of “Disrespecting” Cardi B On IG Amid Pregnancy Rumors

by

As of late, fans have started to speculate that Cardi B could be expecting, adding yet another layer of confusion to her already murky relationship status. Late last year, she announced that she and her longtime partner Offset had gone their separate ways. Since then, however, they appear to be back on good terms. It’s unclear at the time of writing whether or not they’re in a relationship again, though it seems like they’re at least keeping things cordial for their little ones.

The femcee stepped out last week for a BET Experience performance in an oversized sequined jersey dress, which left some suspecting that she was trying to hide a growing bump. Considering the fact that she and Offset just recently overcame some serious issues, this had fans concerned. Matters were only made worse today when the former Migos member took to Instagram to promote some new merch.

Offset’s Latest IG Post

The photos feature various scantily clad women rocking “rare” t-shirts and panties, an apparent nod to his recent Gunna collab. “She do what I say she gone fetch,” he captioned the post, quoting the song. Commenters are now accusing him of disrespecting Cardi, and they’re not holding back in the slightest. “If my husband posted this, I would be pissed! This is very disrespectful,” one user writes. “Who gone fetch?” another wonders. “You should’ve known better than to post this mess.”

Others are coming to his defense, arguing that he was just promoting his music and merch, which likely won’t impact his relationship with the “Enough” performer. What do you think of rumors that Cardi B could be expecting? What about Offset’s latest Instagram post? Do you think he deserves the backlash he’s receiving online, or are social media users simply overreacting? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Drake & Camila Cabello Bring The Summer To Our New “R&B Season” Playlist Update: Stream

by

Welcome to the second half of 2024, which our new R&B Season playlist is here to commemorate. For this last week of June, we rounded up the best new R&B-related releases to drop around Friday (June 28) for your listening convenience. Of course, we have some big collaborations to talk about first between Drake and Camila Cabello on her new album C,XOXO. “HOT UPTOWN” is their breezy and slightly dancehall-inspired duet that will probably be one of the songs of the summer, whereas Drizzy’s “Uugly” interlude is more of a lonely night after a hot day. In both examples, the melodies and the vocal control is pretty solid.

Elsewhere on our R&B Season playlist update, we also have a new single to enjoy and vibe out to from Tinashe titled “Getting No Sleep.” She’s had a phenomenal year so far, and to see this momentum continue to build and rise is an absolute delight. This new cut continues some of the interesting electronic fusions on BB/ANG3L, building on breathy and soothing vocals with rickety percussion and deep bass. It’s definitely one of the most calm and pleasant sonic atmospheres you’ll hear this week, as well as a solid indicator of what greatness is on the way with Quantum Baby.

HNHH R&B Season Playlist: Stream

In addition, we wanted to shout out the new Lucky Daye album Algorithm for its creative melds of R&B melodies, gritty instrumentation, and woozy soundscapes. In particular, the track “Think Different” is a big highlight thanks to rusty live drum tones, dynamic vocal switches, eerie synth lines, and buzzing bass. Eventually, it builds with more soaring synthesizers, accentuated vocal harmonies, and more exploratory sung licks and drum fills. It’s certainly a very intoxicating and sultry mood, and one that works really well across the whole LP.

We’d be remiss not to mention the new Zacari and BEAM collaboration “Faith + Sight,” which is one of the more minimal but dreamy songs this week. Finally, don’t miss Jeremih, Chris Brown, and Bryson Tiller’s latest jam “Wait On It” for some great chemistry between these R&B mainstays. Let us know what your favorite inclusion was on this week’s playlist update, as well as what else we missed, down in the comments section below. Also, come back to HNHH for more great music drops around the clock.

PARTYNEXTDOOR Blasts Jeremih, Chris Brown & Bryson Tiller Over Their New Music Video

by

Looks like the year of beef isn’t over yet, as PARTYNEXTDOOR just tweeted and deleted some scathing shots at Chris Brown, Jeremih, and Bryson Tiller over their new collab “Wait On It.” Moreover, apparently they featured PARTY’s ex-girlfriend Desma in the visual, and these new attacks are interesting considering that he reportedly brought Jeremih out at his concert on Thursday night (June 27) just before the song came out (for the record, the two had previously squashed beef). Overall, it seems like quite the nasty situation between four guys who could make great collaborations together. It’s also unknown how much Brown and Tiller are “at fault” here when it comes to this choice.

“I’m finna make these n***as cry…” one of PARTYNEXTDOOR’s since-deleted tweets read. “Bryson Chris; and Jeremih… enjoy, the nights, of your life. Doing videos, at 34, that b***h broke. I know 5 rnb singers who broke.” It looks like he also allegedly bragged about having $40 million in the bank, and the “Ratchet Happy Birthday” originator might have more to say. Still, considering that he deleted these tweets, maybe this will just stay in the history books, or Jeremih, Chris Brown, and Bryson Tiller will respond in kind.

PARTYNEXTDOOR’s Deleted Tweets Against His Ex, Jeremih, Chris Brown & Bryson Tiller

In fact, it’s not even clear why PARTYNEXTDOOR is mad: it’s just understandable to make the assumption if Desma was in the “Wait On It” music video. Elsewhere, though, PARTY spoke on some interesting routines for his vocal technique, and maybe they can calm him down amid this combativeness. For a raspier tone, he revealed that a shot of vodka will usually do the trick, whereas he uses almost-boiling water to sit in the back of his throat if he wants the purest tone possible. They’re certainly some odd choices, but it usually results in great singing, so all’s well that ends well?

Still, it begs the question… Will this situation end well? Will PARTYNEXTDOOR continue to go at these R&B rivals over some girl trouble? Or will he choose to respond to Kendrick Lamar’s nose-playing claims on “Not Like Us” months after its release and support his OVO partner Drake in the beef? Time will tell, but it seems like the Canadian crooner is ready for some smoke either way.
