Meek Mill Defends Joel Embiid, Threatens To Attend Knicks Game After N.Y. Fans Travel To Philly

by

Meek Mill spoke out on Joel Embiid and Philadelphia fans after the 76ers lost in Game 4 of their playoff series against the New York Knicks on Sunday. Embiid had admitted he was disappointed when away fans made more noise at the Wells Fargo Center than home fans during the loss. In turn, hometown rapper Meek Mill threatened to come to New York for Game 5 to show Knicks fans the same treatment.

“How people acting like they turning on Joel,” Meek wrote in his post. “Trust the process wins and losses. I’m coming to next knicks game we gotta rep like they did that whole arena was half knicks fans … let’s play our part no blame game get you to a chip!”

During Game 4, Knicks fans erupted in MVP chants whenever Jalen Brunson made a shot, especially towards the end of the game. During the fourth quarter, Embiid scored just 1 point on 0-for-5 shooting. “I love our fans,” he said after the game. “I think it’s unfortunate. I’m not calling them out, but it is disappointing. Obviously, you got a lot of Knicks fans. They’re down the road. But I’ve never seen it (like that), and I’ve been here for 10 years. It kind of pisses me off, especially because Philly is considered a sports town. I don’t think that should happen.” Sixers guard Tyrese Maxey also noticed how loud the Knicks fans were, but clarified, “our crowd did a great job.”

Meek Mill Speaks Out

Game 5 between the Knicks and 76ers will tip-off on Tuesday. Be on the lookout for further updates on Meek Mill and the NBA Playoffs on HotNewHipHop.

His wife, Hailey Bieber, reacted to the picture in the comments section by calling him a “pretty crier.” Justin didn’t add a caption to the post which featured several unrelated images so it’s unclear what made him so upset.

“Justin, we are here for you brother,” one supportive fan wrote in the comments section. Another wrote: “I love that you’re not afraid to show your vulnerability and emotions. It’s always great to remember that behind every single celebrities, there’s still a human being.

While it’s unclear what caused Justin to be so upset, the post comes after he paid tribute to his late friend Chris King on social media, earlier this month. Following the rapper’s tragic passing, Justin wrote on his Instagram Story: “Love you bro. This one hurts. Please keep his family in your prayers. See you in paradise brother.” King was gunned down in an apparent robbery attempt outside of a music studio in Nashville at the age of 32. Check out Justin’s latest post on Instagram below.

Chris Brown reflected on how he’s accumulated his wealth during a recent appearance on the R&B Money Podcast with Tank and J. Valentine. In doing so, he recalled investing in Burger King franchises at a young age, negotiating a 50-50 profit-sharing agreement with his former label, Jive Records, as well as locking down his masters from his 2011 album, F.A.M.E., through his current releases.

“So I’m more like, you know, I’m able to now now see real money or see something from what I’ve created ’cause I know I created it so now, you know, I can go and do this now. I can create some more,” Brown explained, as caught by XXL. “Wait till y’all see what I’m about to create. So now I get to own all of that you know and it’s like what you said, I’m like a testament to [investing in yourself].” He concluded: “Hey, I’m not saying put your head down, just be the best you.”

Bobbi Althoff & Saweetie Seemingly Tease An Interview Together

by

Thanks to a recent social media tease in which Saweetie and Bobbi Althoff put together some awkward dance moves in front of a pool to the former’s new anticipated single, a lot of folks think that they could have an interview on the way. Moreover, it would follow a lot of the usual hype-up for an Althoff sit-down, and the link-up seems a little too out of the blue to not involve something grander. Still, maybe they are just really getting along and wanted to show themselves having some fun online, and that wouldn’t be a bad thing at all. We’ll see if there are similar talking points or contentious moments that result of this hypothetical conversation like the ones that have came up in the past.

Furthermore, Bobbi Althoff’s interviews lean towards slight awkwardness in the public eye given her comedic style, and as of late, they inspired a lot more debate such as her viral “I’m not a musician” moment with Sukihana. Perhaps a convo with Saweetie will hold another miscommunication instance like this, although we’re sure that it would still be an entertaining one to witness even if it’s a completely normal and chilled-out sit-down. But for all our theorizing, there’s no official announcement. So we’ll see what pans out in the near future.

In fact, for Saweetie in particular, she has a lot that she could talk about and address. For one, there’s the aforementioned teased track that’s apparently titled “Nani” that should be coming out very soon. But on a more tantalizing and scandalous note, the Los Angeles MC also came up in the beef between her ex Quavo and Chris Brown, who claimed that he slept with her while they were still together. It seems like she’s had more to chastise the former Migo for than Breezy, but we’ll see if this stays the same or if she has some extra bars on her next song.

Meanwhile, do you think this interview is actually happening or is this just a random social media post? Do you think the Althoff or the Icy Girl are going to talk about the rumors and statements other people made on their behalf these days? Whatever your theories are, let us know how you think they’ll respond to it down in the comments section below.

Charles Barkley Apologized To Beyonce’s Mom For His Galveston Jokes (But Still Won’t Go There)

by

Saturday night’s edition of Inside the NBA featured an all-time Charles Barkley roast, as the Hall of Famer had Shaq keeled over laughing as he torched the New Orleans Pelicans and the city of Galveston, Texas.

Chuck called out the Pelicans for quitting in Game 3 against the Thunder, and said they didn’t deserve a flight to Cancun and should instead drive down to Galveston to see “that dirty ass water.”

It really is some of Barkley’s funniest work in some time, and naturally it went viral and went far beyond just basketball fans. Among those who saw it was Beyonce’s mom, Tina Knowles, who was born in Galveston and got the clip sent to her by Jay-Z, issuing a funny response to Chuck on Instagram.

Barkley, being a wise man, issued an apology to Ms. Tina and asked for forgiveness from the Beyhive.

However, there was only so far he’s willing to go with an apology, and a trip to Galveston is not in the cards. He almost killed Shaq by saying he’d rather take a vacation to “San Antonio with them big ol’ women” than go to Galveston.

There is nothing guaranteed to get Shaq to lose it than a surprise joke about the women of San Antonio, and Chuck couldn’t resist dragging them into this with Galveston. The state of Texas, in general, seems to not be Barkley’s favorite and I doubt he’ll be taking any trips there any time soon on his own personal accord.

Blueface’s Mom Karlissa Saffold Explains Sexyy Red Beef

by

Blueface’s mother Karlissa Saffold isn’t the biggest Sexyy Red fan in the world. Towards the end of last year, she called the St. Louis MC “Stanky Red” and said that she was “barely cute,” which clearly did not slow down her momentum at all. Things even escalated again recently, but as Saffold usually does, she took to her Instagram Live from the comfort of a jacuzzi to explain any issues that there could be between them. For one, she suggested that they don’t actually have any issues with one another, and that this is all just the result of Internet humor and easy misconceptions.

“I am not beefing with Sexyy Red,” Karlissa Saffold began her IG Live clip following their exposed DM exchange. “Didn’t she say I said sorry to her? That was in December. So I guess, you know, time’s getting a little hard. But that was in December. I apologized to her, so how am I beefing with her if I apologized to her? Shut the f**k up. I’m trying to help you out, and you over here talking about somebody else that already got more contracts than me and you.

Karlissa Saffold Says There’s No Beef With Sexyy Red

“Thank you Sexyy for posting my page,” Blueface’s mom continued about Sexyy Red. “They want you to post theirs too, so they over here trying to be haters like they did with Chrisean Rock, all mad as f**k and s**t. That’s why we ain’t gon’ help y’all ’cause y’all h*es f***ing mad. I ain’t gon’ never forget you instigating h*es either. You weirdos. Y’all want that baby to be so disrespectful to the mama instead of wanting her to help me. Now you f***ing mad. All these babies is mine, I’m the mama. Me and Mr. Saffold, he in one room, and I’m in another. We just trying to be cordial, but that ain’t gon’ take away from my hot old b***h summer. You shouldn’t have f***ed her before summer got here, so it is what it is.

“I’m about to be in GloRilla’s video, I’m about to be in Sexyy Red’s video, I’m about to be in Diamond’s video, Rollie’s video, and Kaliii’s video,” she went on. “You might as well call me an old bad b***h all summer long. I’m about to get me a real jacuzzi so y’all can stop hating on my fake jacuzzi. Yes, honey, so make sure y’all go and tell GloRilla and Megan, my daughter-in-law, and Sexyy Red that it’s about to be an old b***h summer. We don’t need Caresha and them. *laughs* We don’t need none of them pissy problems.” For more news and updates on Karlissa Saffold and Sexyy Red, come back to HNHH.

DMX and Mary J Blige are the subjects of a new mural in Yonkers, New York at Palisade Towers. The mural, titled “Together,” comes in at 78-foot wide by 18-foot-high. Mayor Mike Spano, Yonkers Housing Authority (YHA) CEO Wilson Kimball, Yonkers Arts Executive Director Ray Wilcox, and Artist Robin Alcantara were all on site to unveil it on Thursday.

“It is always a proud day when we can highlight the accomplishments of our city’s residents,” Mayor Spano said. “The talents and accomplishments of these local heroes is an inspiration to us all and a reminder that even those who come from humble beginnings can achieve great things.” Spano previously unveiled another DMX mural back in 2021.

Nelly Shows Love To Ashanti Amid Pregnancy

by

Nelly showed love to his fiance, Ashanti, on Instagram earlier this week amid her ongoing pregnancy. The couple, who rekindled their romance in 2023 after a decade apart, are expecting their first child together. “Of course not beautiful I’m fine..!! Luv U2,” Nelly captioned a photo of himself and Ashanti.

When The Shade Room shared the post on Instagram, fans took to the comments section to theorize exactly what he meant. “She definitely asked if she’s too heavy that’s why he said what he said,” one fan wrote.

A fan of Drake trolled Metro Boomin by shouting some of the lyrics to the Toronto rapper’s diss track,
“Push Ups,” at one of the producer’s recent concerts. In a clip circulating on social media, an attendee to the show shouts out, “Metro, shut your ho ass up and play some drums.” In response, Metro remarks, “I heard that,” prompting celebration from the fan.

Metro started feuding with Drake by releasing the track, “Like That,” on which Kendrick Lamar targets his former collaborator.

They include The Weeknd, ASAP Rocky, and more. Drake responded with “Push Ups,” earlier this month, and followed that up with the A.I.-assisted “Taylor Made Freestyle.” Kendrick Lamar has still yet to fire back in their ongoing feud.
