Finesse2tymes’ New Girl Gives Him “Alpha Male Treatment” After Erica Banks Couldn’t Deliver: Watch

by

If there’s one thing that Finesse2tymes has made abundantly clear he expects in relationships, it’s the king treatment. In late 2022, he and Erica Banks spent a brief period together, though we’ve since found out that they broke things off because she couldn’t keep up with his demands. While the Texas-born rap diva would rather wake up and check out her bank account, the 90 Days hitmaker prefers a woman to wake up and cater to his needs, such as making breakfast and having sex before even thinking about scrolling through social media.

“When you get up and get on your phone, I don’t like that. Don’t get straight on your phone when you around a man,” he ranted on The Breakfast Club earlier this year. In response to this, Banks said on social media, “This man crazy… There’s a difference between a good woman, and a ‘do girl.’ You get where I’m going? With Finesse, he wants a servant.” Clearly, a breakup was the right call for these two, as their personal values appear to be complete opposites, only leading to rising tension for the former couple.

Finesse2tymes is Living His Best Life

Banks has since been trading flirtatious and salacious tweets with fellow female rapper Sukihana on Twitter, and Finesse also looks to have found a new lover of his own. Earlier this weekend, the 30-year-old shared some videos on his Instagram Story, revealing the wifely duties the latest woman in his life has been carrying out. In one clip, @fng_shugga helps him get dressed in his clothes for the day. Another sees her massaging the Memphis native’s feet, the words, “Stack, pray, [and] stay out the way 💯,” written across the screen.

It remains unclear how long Finesse2tymes and his new lady have been seeing one another, though they certainly look comfortable. In @theshaderoom’s comment section, users didn’t hesitate to clown the rapper for his view of the opposite sex. “He ain’t cute enough for all that,” one comment reads. “So he wants another mom. Got it,” and “Erica said ‘N*gga PLEASE’ 😂😂,” others chimed in. Do you think the “How to Act” hitmaker’s standards are too high? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news.

Rubi Rose & French Montana Are Dating, Sources Say

by

Rubi Rose is easily one of the most lusted-after female rap stars right now, but it seems she may be off the market. Earlier this week, the Kentucky native stepped out with a certain Grammy Award-winning lyricist, weeks after publicly feuding with her ex-boyfriend, DDG. As you may recall, she exposed the Michigan native for DMing her on Twitter as he was reportedly fighting with his own girlfriend, Halle Bailey.

When Rose’s receipts were shown online, her former beau’s reaction was caught during a live stream. He was obviously upset by the situation, repeatedly calling the 25-year-old a “bitch” and venting about the disdain he has for her. The internet spat lasted for several days and even saw Rubi linking up with Chrisean Rock to stir the pot, creating drama for the latter and Blueface, her on-again-off-again partner.

Rubi’s Beef With Ex-BF DDG

Besides DDG, other famous figures linked to Rose include Cam Newton who she allegedly dated in 2017, as well as Lil Tjay, who she previously sued. Prior to his untimely death, the entertainer also spent time with Takeoff for a brief period in 2016. Other names who reportedly appear on her roster include Soulja Boy, Ian Conner, 21 Savage, Playboi Carti, and Travis Scott.

As for her new man, TMZ reports that the “I Like” hitmaker was on a dinner date with none other than French Montana last night (March 13). The pair dressed down in comfortable but stylish garb to eat at Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills, where they didn’t hide their comfortable PDA from paparazzi snapping photos in the area. The foreign rapper’s arm was around Rose’s shortly after they exited his luxury whip and confidently walked into the restaurant together.

Sources close to Rubi Rose have told the outlet that she’s for sure Montega’s “new girlfriend.” It remains unclear exactly when they began hanging out, though the model publicly declared herself single this time last month while beefing with DDG. Seeing as they’re so comfortable, it’s safe to assume the two artists are past the initial, sometimes awkward, early stages of dating, and are ready to share their romance in the public eye. What do you think of the new couple? Let us know in the comments, and find photos and videos from their night out together here.

Joey Bada$$ & Serayah Are Boo’d Up In New IG Pic

by

Joey Bada$$ and Serayah just possibly announced a relationship with a new picture Joey posted to Instagram. Moreover, this caught many fans in the comments by surprise, as she was dating actor and artist Jacob Latimore. While some simply lamented their breakup, others had some more interesting theories as to what the post could mean. Furthermore, Serayah starred in various popular TV series, including Empire, Wu-Tang: An American Saga, and most notably Black Mafia Family. As such, some people wondered whether this was the result of another media project of if they’re really serious about their fling.

“This better be a scene from BMF… that’s all I know,” one user commented on the New York MC’s post. However, maybe that theory isn’t all that unfounded, considering the multi-hyphenate career of the “Paper Trail$” artist. Moreover, Joey’s acting career has been another highlight of his trajectory throughout the 2010s. For example, he appeared in another 50 Cent-led television smash, Power Book III: Raising Kanan. What’s more is that he also appeared in the Wu-Tang-centered series as Inspectah Deck himself. With all this in mind, plus a few other projects, it wouldn’t be surprising if this was a hint at a stronger on-screen collaboration.

Joey Bada$$ & Serayah Tease Fans On Instagram

Still, the renowned 28-year-old lyricist isn’t exactly known to clout chase or engage in too many social media antics. As such, pulling a stunt like this for the sake of promotion or to get buzz seems a tad out of character. Of course, that’s only up to him to decide, but most of his loyal fanbase is hyper-focused on his musical output above all. He’s been doing just that these past two years after some time off, most recently exemplified by his appearance on Logic’s latest project, College Park.

Meanwhile, Serayah’s working on a music career of her own that’s already led her to impassioned acclaim. For example, last year she released the sultry R&B cut “P.O.V.” with production from OG Parker. Overall, the two versatile artists left their fans with quite the head-scratcher, so we’ll see how this plays out. Regardless, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Serayah and Joey Bada$$.

Bill Gates & Paula Hurd Quietly Dating For “Over A Year”: Report

by

The demise of his 27-year marriage to Melinda Gates couldn’t have been easy for Bill Gates. A year and a half after their separation was complete, however, the 67-year-old seems to be in a new romantic relationship. According to PEOPLE, the billionaire is dating a long-time friend of his named Paula Hurd, though she hasn’t yet met his three children.

Sources say the two “are inseparable.” She’s known as a “mystery woman,” though their inner circle says their romance is “no mystery.” They made headlines earlier this year while sitting next to each other at the Australian Open Men’s Singles. Tennis is a game they both love, and they’ve previously been chatty at other matches.

Before getting together with Gates, Hurd was with Oracle CEO Mark Hurd. In 2019, the 60-year-old tragically lost her husband, leaving her a widow. Before, she also worked in the tech industry, though she’s since moved on to become an event planner.

As for the philanthropist, this marks his first relationship since ending things with Melinda in August 2021. His 58-year-old ex was apparently seeing former reporter Jon Du Pre a few months ago. Ultimately, no confirmation came from the pair. At this time, the Gates matriarch seems determined on her path toward healing while continuing to parent her and Bill’s three children.

“I had some reasons I just couldn’t,” she said of her marriage’s dissolution in an interview with Fortune last year. “But the odd thing about COVID is that it gave me the privacy to do what I needed to do. It’s unbelievably painful, in innumerable ways, but I had the privacy to get through it.”

While Bill doesn’t seem to be hiding his new relationship from the world, there’s still much to be learned about Hurd. A report from PEOPLE reveals that she studied at the University of Texas and obtained a bachelor’s degree in business administration in 1984. Additionally, she has two daughters, Kathryn and Kelly, from her late husband.

Apart from their love of tennis and experience working in tech, Gates and his new girl are both avid philanthropists. Specifically, Paul has given large sums of money to Baylor University’s Give Light Campaign. Read more about that here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Lupita Nyong’o’s New Boyfriend Selema Masekela Makes His Debut On Her IG: Watch

by

Following a triumphant return to the screen in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever recently, Lupita Nyong’o is feeling on top of the world. So much so, in fact, that the actress is feeling ready to let down her guard and give fans a look at her latest romance.

In the past, the 39-year-old has markedly kept her love life private. Now, however, a spark is burning with Selema Masekela, a famous TV host and sports commentator. On Friday (December 23) she uploaded a video of them together, showing off only a few of their best outfits.

“We just click! @selema #thisismylove #nuff said,” the actress wrote in the caption. The footage is soundtracked by Iniko’s “The King’s Affirmation – Chill Mix” featuring Reuel Williams.

In unison with the music, we see Nyong’o and Masekela correspondingly snapping as they transition from look to look. Firstly, they appear in matching printed robes, but shortly after that they flaunt their figures in purple cheetah print swimwear.

Next, the 51-year-old embodies the sunshine as he steps into a vibrant yellow suit. For her part, the Marvel starlet dons a neutral floral dress with subtle yellow details. The couple looks ready to dance the night away at a wedding, or model together in a luxury campaign.

At this time, very few details are known about how Nyong’o met her match, though she seems undeniably happy and has a certain glow about her in the sweet debut video.

Previously, she was romantically linked to Black Panther costar Michael B. Jordan. As PEOPLE notes, they staged a makeout scene in a photo booth at a 2019 Golden Globes party. Afterward, though, they both denied dating rumours that came their way.

“It’s flattering at the end of the day,” Nyong’o told Entertainment Tonight several years ago. “I think it’s such a rare thing to find people you have good chemistry with and too for us to find each other as actors and get to work together, it makes the work richer that we truly enjoy each other’s company on and off screen.”

Dua Lipa & Jack Harlow Dating After Rapper Name-Dropped Her On Last Album

by

Most people typically try to secure their cuffing season arrangements long before December. However, this year we have several late entries sparking romance rumours ahead of the holidays. Most recently, Dua Lipa and Jack Harlow have been causing a stir by spending some time together.

According to a Page Six report, the two have been dating after meeting at the Variety Hitmaker’s Brunch. The event took place last month in Los Angeles. Sources say that the Future Nostalgia starlet has become “quite smitten” with her new beau. They’ve been in “constant communication” since their first run-in, which cameras were quick to photograph.

Harlow, of course, hasn’t kept quiet about his strong feelings of attraction for the English artist. Earlier this year, he even released, “Dua Lipa.“ The single appears on his sophomore effort, Come Home The Kids Miss You.

“Dua Lipa, I’m tryna do more with her than do a feature / I checked the web, they out here chewin’ me up, f*ck it,” he raps within the first few bars of the popular song.

Many would love to have the Kentucky native pen a track about them. Still, Harlow made sure to get his new girl’s blessing before unleashing his work on the world. “I didn’t want her to be blindsided by that or feel creeped out or anything,” he previously said when telling the story of her reaction in May.

“I suppose it’s OK,” is what Lipa initially told him over FaceTime. However, it seems the tribute has grown on her. At least enough for the performer to want to get to know the “First Class” hitmaker on a more intimate level.

A source told Page Six of Harlow, “he was very interested in [Dua], and was going to strongly pursue [the romance].” Additionally, insiders have spilled that he flew to New York City this past weekend to see her following an appearance at the Z100 Jingle Ball.

The next day, sleuths saw them arriving separately at a restaurant for a lunch date. Apparently, they were attempting to move inconspicuously as they came in through a private entrance and left at different times.

“He is going to do his best, as he has always been a fan of her,” someone close to Harlow has confirmed to the outlet.

Prior to these new romance rumours, Dua Lipa was last linked to Trevor Noah. Read all about that gossip here, and check back with HNHH later for more pop culture news updates.
