Young Chop Reportedly Released From Jail After Over Two Years

by

Things appear to be looking up for Young Chop, as reportedly, he’s been released from jail after over two years. Chopsquad DJ took to his Instagram Story earlier today to share the news, posting a photo of the Chicago producer smiling on a FaceTime call. “Young Chop feee,” he captioned the photo simply. According to XXL, he was arrested in April of 2022 for allegedly jumping bail.

His legal issues began in April of 2020, however, when he was arrested for alleged reckless conduct. This arrest took place after he allegedly went searching for 21 Savage in an Uber amid their internet beef. Allegedly, he brandished a gun at a car that pulled up next to the Uber, prompting someone in the car to shoot at the Uber. Young Chop was arrested just a few days later for allegedly violating his probation and accused of aggravated cruelty to animals for allegedly starving a dog to death.

Chopsquad DJ Announces Young Chop’s Release From Jail

For now, fans have yet to hear from Young Chop directly, though DJ Akademiks’ comments section is flooded with Instagram users asking him to go live and predicting what’s to come. “He finna have the biggest troll comeback of 2025,” one user speculates. “Get in that lab and turn sh*t up,” another demands. News of Young Chop’s release comes just a few months after footage of him allegedly getting into an altercation with another inmate behind bars surfaced online. The footage surfaced in June of this year, and the altercation allegedly occurred in April.

During the intense encounter, Young Chop sucker-punched the other inmate in the back of the head, prompting an all-out brawl. “Back the f**k up,” the man could be heard yelling in the shocking video. “He gotta go.” After telling them to stop, a correctional officer deployed his taser on the other inmate, ending the fight. Both of them were later taken away in handcuffs.

Ice Spice Provokes Even More Fan Concern Over Her Weight Loss Thanks To Revealing Selfie

by

Ice Spice already seems to have addressed the backlash to her weight loss, but fans won’t give up on this narrative just yet. Moreover, a recent top-down selfie of hers sparked even more concern over her slim figure, regardless of whether or not it’s what she’s shooting for. Fans seem particularly worried about the Bronx femcee’s visible bone structures and about just how drastic the physical transformation has been. Of course, this is just social media gossip and speculation, as she herself seems committed to her fitness journey and to this new look. So we can’t tell if the haters are really keeping the 24-year-old’s best health interests at heart or if they just prefer her previous build.

In either case, Ice Spice is just enjoying her life right now and is probably letting all this roll off her shoulder. After all, she has more grand things to attend to, such as a recent SKIMS store opening in New York City that she supported Kim Kardashian at. But despite all these high-profile celebrity developments, the online hate train is chugging along at a steady pace thanks to this weight loss debate. Hopefully one day we reach a point where we primarily talk about the music that artists dropped this year instead of focusing on their personal lives.

Ice Spice Sparks Fan Concern Over Weight Loss With Latest Selfie

Elsewhere, Ice Spice has just been dealing with other pitfalls of fame, such as recent legal action against her for allegedly stealing another artist’s song. Specifically, Brooklyn rapper D.Chamberz alleged that “In Ha Mood” is “strikingly similar” to his 2021 cut “In That Mood.” She ended up settling the lawsuit with Chamberz, so we don’t really have many details as to whether or not she or her team admitted to any alleged wrongdoing.

As for this weight loss debacle, some fans are alleging Ozempic use whereas others aren’t thinking about it so deeply. Usually celebrities face the opposite beauty standards, so it’s been bizarre to see Ice Spice garner these reactions. Nevertheless, we hope that this dramatic transformation is all by design, and if that’s what she wants, then we hope fans turn more supportive with time.

Mariah The Scientist & Young Thug Spend Quality Time Together Following His Prison Release

by

Late last month, Young Thug finally got out of prison after a long and chaotic trial. He accepted a plea deal and will spend the next 15 years on probation whilst abiding by a list of conditions. These conditions include not contacting any alleged gang members or YSL affiliates except for his brother and Gunna, using his platform to speak out against gang violence, and more. His fans and peers are glad to see him making the most of his newfound freedom after over two years behind bars, and reconnecting with his loved ones.

Immediately after his release, for example, he reunited with his girlfriend Mariah The Scientist. The songstress is currently on tour with Latto and KARRAHBOOO, but evidently, that hasn’t stopped her from spending time with her man. Recently, she took to her Instagram Story to share a photo of herself getting a foot massage from the rapper.

Supporters are happy that the high-profile pair finally gets to enjoy each other’s company again, particularly after such an uncertain legal battle. When it was announced that Young Thug would be coming home, Mariah got emotional onstage as she reflected on their journey. “I just want to thank God for the day,” she said. “I want to thank him for life, light, and love… for our family and our friends… for Jeff and our relationship… for covering us with the blood of Jesus, protecting us, keeping us safe. Every day. This has really been a long time coming, and it has been really hard. But I’m appreciative that you kept showing up for me and supporting me.”

“There was people who was telling me I would never see him again,” she also added. “There was people who was laughing at me and laughing at our situation and making fun of us. Man, this s**t so f***ing cr*zy, man.”

Drake Looks Unbothered In New Selfie Despite Kendrick Lamar Fans’ Relentless Clowning

by

It goes without saying that it’s been a rough year for Drake. The Toronto rapper went head-to-head with Kendrick Lamar in an explosive lyrical battle, and in general, the consensus is that he lost. This, of course, has resulted in a great deal of ridicule from internet trolls. Unfortunately, this was only compounded yesterday, when Kendrick Lamar shocked the world.

With zero warning, Kendrick dropped an entire album, GNX. In no time, it was trending all over social media, as listeners identified their favorite tracks and pointed out any interesting references. Unsurprisingly, countless fans have also been dragging Drake since the release, sharing memes and making jokes about the project adding to Kendrick’s impressive run. Drake has yet to respond to any of this clowning, but luckily, it looks like he may be tuning it all out. Early this morning, he took to his Instagram Story to share a new mirror selfie.

Drake Seems Unfazed

In the selfie, the 28-year-old looks relatively unbothered. He sports a leather jacket, which he paired with some eye-catching black shoes and his signature duck face. He even complemented his new short haircut, which he debuted on his Instagram Story last week, with a Nike headband. As expected, his selfie has earned mixed reactions from social media users. While some are praising him for seemingly remaining unfazed, others continue to clown him. Either way, Drizzy has his own career to worry about and has some big things coming up himself.

He’s currently working on a collaborative album with PartyNextDoor, for example, which doesn’t have an official release date. Fans expect to hear it sooner rather than later, however, as PartyNextDoor announced that it’d be getting finished once he was done with a tour that ended earlier this month. Drake is also scheduled to join xQc for a livestream tomorrow (November 24), where he’ll be giving away $500K.

50 Cent & Big Meech Team Up To Tease Upcoming Collab

by

It’s been roughly a month since Big Meech was released from prison, and he’s now serving the remainder of his sentence at a Florida halfway house. He since appears to have been making the most of his newfound freedom with manicures, dental work, and more. Recently, he even got the opportunity to hang out with 50 Cent. As an executive producer of a TV series about the Black Mafia Family, BMF, fans figured think link-up would happen eventually.

At the time of writing, it remains unclear exactly what was discussed during their meeting, but it seems as though they had plenty to talk about. It also looks like they’re working on something big together. “GreenLight Gang… Ultimate Hustler edition… Camera speed, rolling and action. BMF BIG MEECH,” 50 Cent captioned his post. Unsurprisingly, the photo is now making its rounds online as fans share their excitement for the upcoming collab.

50 Cent & Big Meech Have Something On The Way

Fif is far from the only person glad to see Big Meech out of prison, as countless other celebrities have shown him their support since his release. This includes Boosie Badazz, Rick Ross, Sexyy Red, and many more. LeBron James even got called out by critics for posting a positive message for him on X. “Welcome home Big Meech!!” his post read simply. Some users argued that it was wrong to glorify Big Meech considering his past, and accused him of sending the wrong message to his younger fans.

Big Meech’s son, Lil Meech, also shared an uplifting post about his release which has since been deleted. In it, he made it clear that he’d been waiting for his father’s release for quite some time. “This is all i ever wanted,” he wrote. “Thank you God.” His heartfelt message was accompanied by footage of Big Meech getting a manicure and chatting on the phone while wearing a diamond BMF chain.

Baka Not Nice Proves He’s Still Around By Posing For Photo With Drake

by

It’s been several months since Kendrick Lamar unleashed his hit Drake diss, “Not Like Us.” In it, he accuses the Toronto rapper and his associates of being predators. Famously, he even called one of them out by name, Baka Not Nice. “Baka got a weird case, why is he around? / Certified Lover Boy? Certified pedophiles,” he raps.

Baka is a former bodyguard and longtime friend of Drake’s. He was arrested for allegedly forcing a woman into prostitution in 2014, according to Complex. He pleaded guilty to assaulting the same woman in 2015. Procuring for prostitution and human trafficking charges against him were reportedly dropped because the woman decided not to testify. He was sentenced to six months behind bars. Amid Drake’s viral feud with Kendrick, Baka has stuck by the OVO Sound co-founder’s side. Last night, he even took to his Instagram Story to share a new photo alongside Drake.

Baka Shares New Photo On His Instagram Story

Of course, Instagram users in 2cool2bl0g‘s comments section are hard at work trolling the OVO signee. “Why is he around 🤔,” one of them asks. “Don’t he got a weird case?” another wonders. Despite all the clowning, it’s clear that Baka and Drake are on good terms. Baka’s post doesn’t necessarily come as a huge surprise, considering he’s been rooting for Drake for several months now, but it does serve as a reminder that he’s still very much in the picture.

In September, for example, he took to Instagram to share his thoughts on Kendrick’s surprise release “Watch The Party Die.” He didn’t hold back, making it apparent that he was not a fan. “Sh*t sounds like them shoes look,” he wrote, referencing the artwork. Shortly after “Not Like Us” dropped, he also seemingly came to his own defense on his Instagram Story. “I STAY WITH INTELLIGENT PPL I’M NOT A FOLLOWER YOU CAN’T LEAD ME TO NO SLAUGHTER MEN LIE WOMAN LIE BUT PAPERWORK CAN’T,” he wrote.

GloRilla Looks Almost Unrecognizable While Showing Off Her Natural Hair Growth

by

GloRilla stole a whole lot of rap fans’ hearts in 2024, if she hadn’t already stolen them from her breakout 2022. As such, fans are always interested to hear what she has to say about her everyday life, especially when it comes to relatable and culturally significant matters such as Black hair. Recently, the “Sticky” femcee took to Instagram to share a picture of her natural hair, along with some insightful comments that caused discussion and community among her fans. “I’m so tender headed I keep my braids up fa a whole 4 months before I get em redid [crying emoji],” she captioned the new photos. “at least my hair growing.”

However, GloRilla now has some other issues to deal with beyond her hair growth, and so do various other of her rap peers. Plies recently launched a lawsuit against her, Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi B, and Soulja Boy for alleged copyright infringement, claiming that they used his “Me & My Goons” instrumental without proper permission. The tracks in question include Glo, Meg, and Cardi’s “Wanna Be,” plus Soulja’s “Pretty Boy Swag.”

GloRilla’s Natural Hair

Elsewhere, other GloRilla connections to her fanbase didn’t land as universally as these pics of her natural hair, especially when it comes to the United States election. Following Donald Trump’s victorious campaign to be the nation’s president, she made (and then deleted) a joke about birth control reacting to this news. “I been got on birth control anyway,” the Memphis lyricist shared and then rescinded. She previously endorsed Kamala Harris for U.S. president, even performing at her Milwaukee rally recently. There are a lot of other divisive and strong reactions to this political development, but for some folks, it’s still too soon to make light of other issues or even speak on them casually.

But one division that GloRilla wants to combat is her previous and brief beef with former City Girl JT, something that she attributed solely to fanbase bickering during a recent interview. She maintained that they’re actually cool, and that the fans just went too far with their debates. There are plenty of other chances for unity, even through something as seemingly innocuous as hair.

In July of this year, the power forward spoke about the honor in an interview with Today, telling the outlet that he hopes they’ll be able to separate their father-son dynamic from their dynamic as teammates.

“I’m going to hold him accountable, and he should hold me accountable when I do things not right,” he explained at the time. “I can separate dad from teammate.

Dr. Dre Links Up With Mustard In Studio Amid Snoop Dogg Album Hype

by

Hip-hop in general has had an importantly resurgent year thus far in 2024. You can certainly point to a lot of MCs for that. However, producers, like usual, are contributing their fair share as well. One of them has been Mustard (DJ Mustard). After remaining quite silent for a little while, these first nine months have been opposite. You’ve heard his producer tag all throughout the summer thanks to his production on Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us”. Additionally, though, you can point to his latest solo album, Faith Of A Mustard Seed. He was able to grab tons of impressive guests, including Travis Scott, Young Thug, ScHoolboy Q, Quavo, Roddy Ricch, and more.

Hopefully, very soon, we can add Dr. Dre to this conversation. Over the last couple of months or so, we have been receiving some encouraging updates surrounding Missionary. It’s being billed as the sequel project to Doggystyle, which of course is Snoop Dogg’s iconic debut. Dr. Dre is handling all of its production and there’s some belief that November will be the month it arrives. It would make sense, as the 23rd of that month will mark the 31st anniversary of Doggystyle. But while that’s in the works, Dr. Dre is taking some time away to meet up with Mustard.

A post shared by Mustard (@mustard)

According to HipHopDX, the Perfect Ten creator shared the photo of them in the studio together with the caption, “Back in the lab with my pen and my pad.” This could mean a lot of things. One, Mustard could be receiving some knowledge from one of the West Coast pioneers. He could just be referencing some of Dre’s iconic lyrics. Or they could be cooking up some beats for Missionary. Hopefully, it’s the last one and will be running to the credits for Missionary when it drops to see if Mustard was granted a great opportunity.

What are your thoughts on Dr. Dre and Mustard flicking up in the studio together? Do you think this could mean anything for Snoop Dogg’s Missionary? Or do you see it being just them bouncing ideas off each other? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Mustard and Dr. Dre. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Bhad Bhabie & Le Vaughn Continue To Flaunt Relationship Amid Confusion

by

Last month, Bhad Bhabie took to social media to expose the father of her child Le Vaughn for alleged domestic violence. She shared a clip, which seems to show him assaulting her, as well as photos of injuries on her face. For obvious reasons, this left fans extremely concerned. At the time, she claimed that despite having sympathy for Le Vaughn, she would not be staying in a relationship with him. Just weeks later, she shared a photo of them kissing on Instagram, which appeared to confirm they were still an item.

This left fans concerned and confused, particularly as Bhad Bhabie just welcomed her first child with him earlier this year. Amid all of this, she hopped online to share a bizarre message about him. “@xgamelv looking for a bbl latina h*e must b rich and have a house and cars he can use,” she wrote. This, of course, only added to the confusion.

While this seemed to suggest that they were no longer on good terms, she went back to showing off their relationship not long after. Over the weekend, for example, she shared an Instagram post featuring a photo of them together with a simple heart emoji in the caption. For now, it looks like it remains to be seen whether or not Bhad Bhabie will clarify where exactly they stand.

Bhad Bhabie’s relationship status isn’t the only reason she’s making headlines, however. Last month, her Los Angeles home was also robbed, though she luckily was not home at the time.
