Deiondra Sanders Shares Pregnancy Update Brushing Off Dreezy’s Claims About Jacquees

by

Deiondra Sanders’ pregnancy is at the center of a number of ongoing controversies. Earlier this year the spark of drama between her, Jacquees and Dreezy erupted. It began when Dreezy dropped a diss track claiming that Jacquees actually wanted her more than Sanders and made allegations of infidelity. Despite that, Jacquees and Sanders carried on prompting fans to crack jokes at her expense for taking him back. That was back in February and the trio spent weeks involved in back and forth spats with each other.

Just a few days after Deiondra Sanders revealed she was back with Jacquees, she also announced that she was pregnant. Though even then Dreezy tried to disrupt her announcement by revealing it before Sanders could. While the never 100% confirmed the fact that the baby belonged to Jacquees the pair continued to pose together in photos updating fans on how her pregnancy was going in the weeks following. The most recent update came last month, at least until Sanders shared a surprise update this week in the midst of a re-sparked beef with Dreezy. Check out her newest update below.

Deiondra Sanders Shares Pregnancy Update

“I can’t believe I really been going this long without lashes or makeup lol. I’m so pretty” the caption of Deiondra’s newest Instagram post reads. In the photos attached she’s hanging out with some friends at what might be a bridal shower, but there’s a notable omission. Jacquees isn’t present in any of the photos which led fans to suspect that something is up. It doesn’t help that earlier this week Dreezy once again doubled down on the allegations of infidelity against Jacquees. While there haven’t been any direct responses to her claims yet they were fresh on fans minds seeing the new Instagram post.

What do you think of Deiondra Sanders completely ignoring Dreezy’s newest claims and sharing an update on her pregnancy progress? Do you think Jacquees being absent from the newest post is a sign to fans that things aren’t alright between the pair? Let us know in the comment section below.

Chris King’s Alleged Murderer Is Now The Most Wanted Man In Nashville 

by

Last month, it was revealed that Chris King tragically passed away at the age of 32. The beloved performer’s death was confirmed by one of his longtime friends and collaborators, Trippie Redd. “I am so hurt rn I can’t even think I love you bro come back!!!!! @whoischrisking,” he wrote. “I can’t catch a break.” Reportedly, his untimely death was the result of an attempted robbery gone wrong.

According to AllHipHop, the rapper and some friends were confronted by three men, and shots were allegedly fired. The rapper succumbed to his injuries, while one of his friends was injured and survived. The man accused of fatally shooting Chris King, 19-year-old Adrien Cameron, has allegedly been on the run ever since. Cameron is also believed to have removed his ankle monitor after carrying out the alleged crime, as he was out on bond for a separate homicide case from 2021.

Now, based on a new Facebook post by the Nashville Metro Police from earlier this week, he’s the most wanted man in the city. Officials are urging the public to provide them with any and all information they may have on the suspect’s whereabouts. The post says he’s currently wanted for alleged “Criminal Homicide and Failure to Appear.” As fans continue to mourn the loss of Chris King, countless peers have shared heartfelt posts about his passing including Justin Bieber, Machine Gun Kelly, and more. Keke Palmer also penned an emotional message about their friendship, praising him for his sense of humor and kindness.

“Wow. I can’t believe I’m saying rest in peace. This is terrible. I really don’t know what to say. I just want to share that I loved you and I remember all the city walk, grove moments. That was my high school. When we were babies before everyone knew you was a real rockstar. We were kids! And you always knew how to make everyone laugh. Your kindness was present no matter what room you were in, everybody was and wanted to be your friend. We will miss you until we meet again, rest heavenly brother,” she wrote last month.

Stephen A. Smith Picks His Winner Of The Drake Vs. Kendrick Lamar Beef

by

The Drake and Kendrick Lamar feud has finally died down a bit. After Kendrick’s release of “Not Like Us,” it seemed many had sided with the Compton rapper over Drake. Last week, ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith spoke about the beef, saying it went entirely too far. He stated that it was inappropriate to make such insensitive and personal allegations as well as to bring up family members and subjects like pedophilia in a rap beef. Smith was adamant in his position of the beef being overkill and straying away from what he believes to be what rap feuds are for proving who is the better artist or lyricist. Overall, Stephen A. seemed taken aback by the viscousness of the beef. Now, he has finally decided to declare a winner.

It seems like the landmark choice for the winner of the Drake-Kendrick Lamar beef is Kendrick. Everyone has pretty much assumed Drake has thrown in the towel, even though the Toronto rapper had the last word. Although he released the latest diss track, it was drowned out by a much better and much more bumping song in “Not Like Us.” Stephen A. Smith has declared Kendrick the winner for that very reason. Drake seemed like he wanted it to end, and Kendrick wanted to win.

Stephen A. Smith Declares Kendrick Lamar Victorious Over Drake

It’s simple for Stephen A. Smith. He says the winner is Keendrik because “Drake wanted to squash more so than Kendrick.” he then says, “I personally believe both of them lost to some degree with how personal they appeared to be willing to get, and I don’t think anybody wins in that.” He continued, “If you the one who want to surrender, then usually you’re the one who’s losing. That’s just logic.” His take is pretty much the consensus. Drake wanted it to end more than Kendrick. Kendrick seemed fine, going back and forth for however long he needed to.

Stephen A. Smith previously expressed that he hoped the quarrel wouldn’t escalate into violence. He also gave J Cole credit for ending the dispute a few weeks ago. Stephen A. Smith seems to have found the entire experience unbelievable and finds it hard to comprehend how far it has come. Overall, Stephen A. claims that, in the end, the rivalry is made them both appear bad.

Are Cardi B & Offset Still Married?

If you’ve been a longtime fan of Cardi B, you’d be forgiven for being a little confused about her relationship status. After all, she and (ex?)husband Offset have gone back and forth quite a few times over the last six years. Most recently, it seemed their “off-again-on-again” love affair was back in the former stage, particularly after Cardi declared in December that she’s “been single for a minute.” However, the couple spent Christmas together and were seen pretty recently together at a Met Gala after-party. So, what exactly is the deal? Are Cardi B and Offset still married?

In a new interview with Rolling Stone, Cardi remained coy about the situation, but her comments did shed some light on it. “The part I love is that we really like each other, like a support system. We’re really both each other’s cheerleader. I don’t really like talking to people. I’m not as social. If I want something from somebody, he’ll be the one that will talk. Because I don’t like asking.”

However, she said of contemplating an official, final divorce, “It’s not even about love. We’re best friends. And it’s like, ‘OK. Well, there was a time that I didn’t have a best friend, or I didn’t have a support system.’ It’s not even about ‘How do you leave a partner?’ How do you stop talking to your best friend?”

So, that seems to be a “yes,” they are still married by all appearances, although like any couple, they’ve had their challenges. And if they’re ever not, they still seem to be bonded by a mutual appreciation and their two kids, who’ll keep them in proximity for a while.

Brendan Paul, Diddy’s Alleged Drug ‘Mule,’ Reportedly Avoids Jail Time By Accepting A Plea Deal

In late March, Diddy’s Los Angeles and Miami residences were raided by Homeland Security in connection with a federal sex trafficking investigation, which was the latest in a long string of troubling allegations and lawsuits involving Diddy.

Around the same time, Rolling Stone reported that 25-year-old Brendan Paul, described as Diddy’s drug “mule,” had been arrested in Miami and charged with cocaine and marijuana possession. Paul had been named in a bombshell lawsuit filed by Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones alleging Paul acquired and distributed drugs and guns in association with Diddy.

On Thursday, May 16, TMZ reported that Paul accepted a plea deal and will avoid any jail time.

“Brendan accepted the prosecutor’s offer to permit his entry into the diversion program which, after completion, the case against him will be dismissed in its entirety,” Brian Bieber, Paul’s attorney, told TMZ.

Additionally, an unnamed representative for the Miami-Dade State Attorney confirmed to TMZ that Paul “has enrolled in a drug diversion program, which should last about six months,” and Paul will not have to serve in jail or probation if he “completes the course without issue.”

This stretch of relentless headlines surrounding Diddy began last November when Cassie filed a lengthy lawsuit alleging physical and mental abuse and rape. Diddy immediately settled with Cassie but maintained his innocence.

Meek Mill Explains His Recent Defense Of King Combs

by

Meek Mill has been caught up in a tailspin of drama recently. The rapper was swept into the lawsuits surrounding Diddy when he was included in a controversial viral filing by producer Lil Rod back in February. Though he seemingly has no involvement in the more serious parts of Diddy’s recent drama like the federal raid on his properties, that hasn’t stopped people from associating him with anything that happens to the rap mogul. That’s how he arrived in the sights of one of the definitive trolls in rap music, 50 Cent.

50 had been attacking Diddy on a near daily basis for months by the time Meek became involved. While he took some shots at Meek when the lawsuit news first dropped things seemed to calm down for a few months. That was, at least, until earlier this month when 50 started going at Meek harder than ever before. 50 came after Meek for both his association with Diddy and the poor sales of his EP that dropped earlier this year. That created a web of beef as the two MCs went back and forth on social media. It eventually resulted in Meek coming to the defense of another person 50 takes issue with, King Combs. Check out what he has to say about that defense now.

Meek Mill On Sticking Up For King Combs

Meek took to Twitter to respond to a blog post on his defense of King Combs. “Ebro would say it in person or via anything that’s how we built respect without no violence or shouting bro it’s not aggressive … basically saying mind my while minding business.. 50 just post my son a week ago that day I felt like saying something” his response reads. Fan responses to it varied with some having trouble breaking down precisely what he was claiming.

What do you think of Meek Mill’s response to his own defense of King Combs in their joint beef with 50 Cent? Do you think Meek will eventually bounce back from the recent online hate against him? Let us know in the comment section below.

DJ Akademiks Blames Meek Mill For Drake’s Loss Against Kendrick Lamar

by

DJ Akademiks has been a key component to the Drake and Kendrick Lamar feud. Overall, Ak is someone who has been fed information by the OVO camp. He even got to premier the official version of “Push Ups” on his stream. Moreover, he was one of the first people to listen to “Family Matters” as soon as it was released. However, in the last week or so, he has had to admit defeat as Kendrick Lamar dominated the charts with “Not Like Us” and “Euphoria.” Not to mention, “Meet The Grahams” was scathing as well.

Recently, Akademiks was on the Full Send Podcast where he gave his take on the feud and what went wrong. Interestingly enough, he blames all of this on Meek Mill. Although there is a reason behind this madness. As he explains, Drake came into his feuds against Pusha T and Kendrick with a feeling of overconfidence. In Ak’s eyes, that confidence only exists because of how Meek fumbled his beef with Drake. At the time, Meek was a battle rapper while Drake was still that kid from Degrassi. Consequently, Drake was the underdog. Since Drizzy came through with the win, he became extremely confident, and that confidence has now come back to bite him.

DJ Akademiks Speaks

This is essentially the thesis that Akademiks lays out. Additionally, he goes on to say that had Meek Mill left the ghostwriter accusations for a diss record, he would have won the beef. Instead, he hastily took to Twitter and lost. Throughout the clip, Akademiks also makes sure to insult Meek’s intelligence a bunch of times. Given how much Ak hates Meek, this is not a surprise in the least bit.

Let us know what you think about this hot take from DJ Akademiks, in the comments section down below. Do you believe what he is saying here is valid? Or do you believe that he is letting his hatred for Meek Mill cloud his judgement? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Drake Could Sue Kendrick Lamar For Alleged Defamation Over “Pedophile” Accusation, Wack 100 & DJ Vlad Theorize

by

It goes without saying that one of the biggest bombs Kendrick Lamar dropped on Drake throughout their lyrical feud was the allegation that he and his OVO Sound colleagues are pedophiles on “Not Like Us.” As expected, the claim earned big reactions from social media users, who proceeded to dig up various questionable moments from Drake’s past. Almost immediately, a clip of the Canadian performer onstage with a 17-year-old girl resurfaced and began to make its rounds online.

In the clip, Drake thirsts over the teenager before asking her age. When she told him she was 17, he acted surprised, but still went on to hug and kiss her before she left. For obvious reasons, the clip has left many viewers disturbed. According to Wack 100, however, it doesn’t prove that Drake is a “pedophile.”

Wack 100 & DJ Vlad Say Kendrick Lamar’s Allegations “Could Definitely Hurt” Drake’s Career

During a recent interview with DJ Vlad, Wack 100 weighed in on Kendrick’s accusations, arguing that Drake “definitely” has grounds to take legal action. Vlad alleged that Kendrick’s “pedophile” claim is “defamation,” claiming that a lawsuit might not be off the table. “Because it could definitely hurt him,” Wack 100 said. Wack went on to explain why he decided to share the clip of Drake and the 17-year-old. He says that he only did so to show people what Kendrick was referring to. Wack also notes that while Drake’s behavior in the clip was “distasteful,” it doesn’t make him a criminal.

He alleges that the moment was filmed in Colorado, where the age of consent is 17. Wack adds that though the federal age of consent is 18, the statute of limitations has passed, meaning that Drake is legally in the clear. What do you think of DJ Vlad and Wack 100 claiming that Drake could file a lawsuit against Kendrick Lamar?

Cardi B Claims She’s The Reason Record Labels Are Signing Female Rappers

by

There’s been a flurry of new Cardi B news this week as fans are having their expectations of a new album dragged back and forth. That started when Cardi took to twitter to claim that her long-awaited second studio effort wouldn’t actually come out this year. It’s been 6 years since her debut Invasion Of Privacy dropped back in 2018. Fans were hoping that the release of two singles earlier this year, “Like What (Freestyle)” and “Enough (Miami),” would lead to the release of the highly-anticipated follow-up.

But after Cardi claimed on Twitter that she was taking the time to relax instead of releasing a new album those hopes seemed dashed. The first good news for fans came when she deleted the tweet where she makes the claim, seemingly hinting that it may not be true after all. Even better news came earlier today when Atlantic Records tweeted in response to the new Rolling Stone story. They claimed that there was very much still a new Cardi album dropping this year, seemingly contradicting her now-deleted tweet. News on the potential release of new music is currently as imprecise as it’s ever been, but that hasn’t stopped fans from unpacking the details of her new cover story. Check out one of the most attention-grabbing claims she makes below.

Cardi B Takes Credit For Influx Of Female Rappers

In one particular moment of the interview, Cardi makes a bold claim about her influencing labels to sign female rappers. “People from every single label have f*cking told me this sh*t in my face. THey started signing new female rappers after I got signed,” she claims. Elsewhere in the interview she also claimed that she’s skipping voting in the next American elections as she doesn’t like either candidate.

What do you think of Cardi B claiming that she inspired labels to sign more female artists in the wake of her successful debut album? Do you agree with her that she’s the reason for the influx of new female rappers? Let us know in the comment section below.
