Megan Thee Stallion Supports Torrey Craig At Chicago Bulls Game Amid Rumored Relationship

by

Back in August, Megan Thee Stallion got fans talking when she hopped on TikTok to take part in a couple’s challenge. She was joined by none other than NBA star Torrey Craig, expectedly leading to rumors that the two of them were an item. Just a few days later, they were spotted out and about in New York City. For most fans, this was enough to confirm the rumored relationship, though neither Meg nor Craig have addressed it.

It’s been a while since supporters have heard anything about the femcee and the athlete, but over the weekend, it looks like they could have reunited. On Saturday (December 21), Megan was spotted at the United Center, sitting courtside for the Chicago Bulls game against the Boston Celtics. For obvious reasons, fans were glad to see her. The Bulls’ mascot, Benny the Bull, even gave her a special greeting.

Megan Thee Stallion Sits Courtside At Chicago Bulls Game Amid Torrey Craig Dating Rumors

Most fans are glad to see Meg living her best life. Unfortunately, however, her rumored relationship with Craig has also earned her a great deal of hate online. Supporters are coming to her defense in the Hollywood Unlocked comments section on Instagram, defending her right to be happy with whoever she chooses. “I love how she be smiling and people get so upset at her joy and happiness 😂😂,” one commenter writes. “Yes she deserves all the happiness,” another says. Meg’s latest appearance comes shortly after she teased the third act of her self-titled album, Megan.

It also comes days after she filed for a restraining order against Tory Lanez, who shot her in 2020. In her filing, she accuses him of “psychological warfare,” according to TMZ. She also alleges that his actions have made her depressed and made her grow estranged from loved ones. Meg even accuses him of paying blogger Milagro Gramz to spread misinformation about her online.

Drake All Smiles After Receiving Custom Cake With His Face On It In

by

It’s been an undoubtedly difficult year for Drake. The Toronto rapper recently decided to take legal action against UMG and Spotify over Kendrick Lamar’s hit diss track, “Not Like Us.” He accuses the companies of artificially boosting the song using bots and payola and alleges that UMG could have prevented its release. Of course, this sparked a major debate among social media users and peers, who are split when it comes to the bold move. Some think Drake has a chance at changing the music industry for good, while others just think it’s a bad look.

Fortunately, however, it looks like Drake is doing just fine amid all of this discussion. In a new set of photos, he appears to be in good spirits, posing alongside a custom cookie cake with his face on it that he received in Texas this week. He wore a big smile as he held the cake, which said “home for the holidays.” At the time of writing, it remains unclear exactly where and why Drake received the custom cake, but it’s safe to say that he appreciated it.

Drake might look carefree in these new photos, but according to Wack 100, he might have quite a bit to worry about. During a recent conversation with Adam22, the personality alleged that he has a flash drive that could end his career. “I see you got Top5 up there … Drake needs to get away from Top5,” he alleged. “This is how much respect I have for you, Drake. I’m telling you. Somebody, listen. Drake hit me. No troll. On Piru, you need to get away from that dude [Top5].”

“This has been in existence for 90 days, and I have made sure … and it hasn’t went anywhere, personally,” he also alleged. “I think you know what I’m talking about. That dude, with his mouth and the things he says. It does not support your career and how far you’ve come.”

NLE Choppa Shares Flirty New Photos Featuring Rick Ross’ Ex Cristina Mackey

by

Earlier this year, Cristina Mackey and Rick Ross decided to go their separate ways after several months of dating. The former pair never provided fans with a full explanation of what exactly prompted the split. He’s since gotten into a new relationship, however. Rozay hard-launched his romance with Justice J Williams in October, showering the social media personality with various lavish gifts. Mackey’s relationship status remains unclear, but that doesn’t mean social media users don’t have any theories.

Recently, for example, she took to Instagram Live to chat with fans from her dressing room when an unexpected guest popped up. It was none other than NLE Choppa, who she’s reportedly appearing in a new Christmas film with sometime soon. Immediately, rumors that the two of them might be more than just co-stars began to fly, though these are all unconfirmed at the time of writing. Yesterday, however, he took to Instagram with a post that only compounded fans’ suspicions.

NLE Choppa & Cristina Mackey Photos Lead To Speculation

In a series of photos, Mackey and Choppa are seen posing on what appears to be a red carpet together, behind the scenes of their upcoming film, and more. “Christmas Movie/R&B Project Before New Years,” he captioned the post alongside some festive emojis. Unsurprisingly, fans in The Shade Room‘s comments section have mixed reactions to the photos.

While many are convinced the two artists are together, others are sure there’s nothing romantic going on between them. “Just because pictures are taken together doesn’t necessarily mean they are a couple,” one commenter claims. “They could just be friends,” another insists. For now, it looks like fans will just have to wait and see whether things are really heating up between Mackey and Choppa, or if they’re simply spending more time together due to their upcoming film.

Ice Spice Supports Kim Kardashian At NYC SKIMS Store Opening

by

Yesterday (December 12), Kim Kardashian celebrated the opening of her Skims store in New York City with a star-studded bash. The reality star and business owner was surrounded by several of her celebrity peers, including Paris Hilton, Teyana Taylor, Ciara, and more. Ice Spice was even in attendance, stunning in an eye-catching leopard print fit.

The Bronx rapper took to Instagram earlier today to share some fun photos from the event. In them, she’s seen posing alongside Kardashian, who rode a scooter throughout the night due to her broken foot. Regardless, both she and the “Bikini Bottom” artist appeared to be in good spirits, laughing as they posed for selfies. “We 🤎 skims,” she affectionately captioned her post. Ice Spice’s mother was even featured in some of the photos, matching her daughter in a silky leopard print jacket.

Ice Spice Shares New Photos Alongside Kim Kardashian After Skims Store Opening In NYC

This is far from the first time fans have seen Ice Spice and Kim K link up, however. Last year, Ice starred in a Skims campaign alongside Pink Pantheress, Raye, and Nessa Barrett. Before that, Kardashian’s daughter North also showed love to her on TikTok by dressing up as her. This unfortunately resulted in a great deal of backlash, as social media users felt as though the video was inappropriate. Kardashian addressed the controversy during an interview with Time magazine a few months later, admitting that allowing her to post it was a mistake.

“The Ice Spice videos, she said, ‘Mommy, can I post this?’” she recalled. “I was out of town, so I had my… nanny was there [and] allowed it. And as soon as I saw the words and everything, I was like, ‘Oh, no no. We’re taking this down.’ She totally understood. So, I think that’s the trial and error sometimes.”

Summer Walker & Rico Recklezz Spark Dating Rumors With Flirty New Photos

by

It goes without saying that Summer Walker has dealt with her fair share of ups and downs on the relationship front in recent years. After a few months of publicly dating Lil Meech in 2023, the two of them decided to go their separate ways, which is rumored to be due to alleged cheating on his end. In April of this year, she went on to hard-launch her relationship with Coop Cashington on Instagram. Unfortunately, that didn’t go well either, as social media users quickly accused him of posting revenge porn, controlling behavior, and more.

Despite this, the two of them appeared to be going strong for at least a few months. Now, however, fans theorize that she could have her sights set on another man. Earlier this week, Rico Recklezz took to Instagram to share a sweet photo featuring the songstress alongside an interesting caption. “God sent me 2 fix her heart ❤️‍🩹✍🏽,” he wrote. The Chicago rapper went on to share a photo of Walker and him on FaceTime on his Story. He even posted a photo of himself holding a large bouquet, which looks strikingly similar to the one Walker posed with last month.

At the time, the bouquet was accompanied by a large sign asking “Will you be mine.” Of course, it’s unconfirmed whether or not this actually came from Recklezz, but supporters are convinced regardless. So far, they’re having mixed reactions to the relationship rumors in No Jumper‘s comments section on X. “Awww happy for her,” one fan writes. “This some cr*zy a** sh*t,” another claims.

For now, the public will just have to wait and see whether or not Walker or Recklezz will ever address these rumors directly. In the meantime, they can also look forward to hearing her upcoming album Finally Over It, which is expected to drop sometime in the near future.

Lil Scrappy Welcomes His Fifth Child With Shakira Hardy

by

Last month, Lil Scrappy took fans by surprise by sharing various clips from a baby shower. This revealed that he was expecting a child with hairstylist and former Pick A Side contestant, Shakira Hardy. Now, Hardy has taken to Instagram to announce that the child was born late last month. She shared a heartfelt message about her baby’s arrival and shared some adorable new photos of the two of them together.

“For the last 7days I’ve been completely distracted by this lil man 💙🥹 Saturday 11/23/24 @ 7:39am I gave birth to a baby boy 7lbs 2.5oz,” she captioned her post. “Labor was long but with the support of my child’s dad @reallilscrappy and my daughter, I was able to push him out in under 6mins 🥳🙏🏾💙 Officially a #boymom 🥳😝💙.” Fans are flooding Hardy with words of support following the delivery, and wishing her the best as she embarks on a new chapter of her life.

At the time of writing, Scrappy has yet to address the child’s birth. Shortly after news of Hardy’s pregnancy hit the internet, however, his ex-wife Bambi seemed to respond. She announced her children’s book at the time, fittingly titled A New Baby For Us. It’s about explaining a new sibling to kids, and how the family navigates the big change. “Thank you, guys, for all of the pre-orders,” she wrote. “I truly pray this story will help some of you explain new family changes in a gentle way to your children.”

This appeared to indicate that the two co-parents were on good terms, but Scrappy later made it clear that this was not the case. “I just do not like her,” he said on Instagram Live shortly after Bambi’s post. “Hate is a strong word, strong word. I just don’t even have the energy for that sh*t anymore.”

Kanye West & Bianca Censori Rock Matching White Outfits During Tokyo Shopping Trip

by

It’s been an undoubtedly chaotic year for Kanye West and his wife, Bianca Censori. The Chicago rapper has hunkered down in Tokyo to work on his upcoming album BULLY, which fans expect to hear sometime in 2025. He’s also been hit with various lawsuits in recent months, the most recent arriving just last week. Ye even sold his Malibu mansion a couple of months back, losing a staggering $36 million in the process.

As for Censori, she frequently makes headlines for her daring fashion statements, which she usually shows off while out and about with her husband. Their latest outing was no exception, but this time around, Ye matched her energy with a similarly striking outfit. In new photos obtained by TMZ, the high-profile pair is seen standing on an escalator at a mall in the Japanese capital, both rocking all-white attire.

Ye wore a white hoodie and a matching pair of sweatpants. Censori, on the other hand, stunned in what looked like a snug white bodysuit. They both appeared to be in good spirits, laughing as they made their way through the mall. We’re not permitted to post the images directly on HotNewHipHop.

Fans are glad to see that the two of them were all smiles, as the same can’t be said for another one of their recent outings. Earlier this month, they were spotted having dinner at a restaurant in Tokyo, but they were frowning and looked depressed. It remains unclear exactly why they were down in the dumps at the time. Fortunately, however, it seems as though things have turned around for the better.

Kanye West & Bianca Censori Look Down In The Dumps During Tokyo Date Night

by

It goes without saying that Kanye West has a lot on his plate at the moment. Currently, he’s hunkered down in Tokyo, where he’s working on his upcoming album Bully. Last month, hip-hop journalist Touré spoke to TMZ about his lifestyle these days, describing it as “upper-class homeless.” This isn’t the only project he has in the works, however. Last week, Playboi Carti also revealed that he’s producing his high-anticipated album, I AM MUSIC.

This likely means he hasn’t been able to spend as much time with his wife Bianca Censori as usual, but recently, they were spotted enjoying a date night together in the Japanese capital. In new photos obtained by TMZ, they’re seen sitting across from each other at a restaurant. They didn’t appear to be in good spirits, unfortunately, instead frowning and looking depressed. We’re not permitted to post the images directly on HotNewHipHop, but if you’d like to see them, you can do so by clicking the Via link below.

At the time of writing, it remains unclear exactly what dampened the high-profile pair’s date night. It’s possible that they’re simply exhausted from traveling back and forth from LA to Tokyo in recent months, or that they just weren’t feeling the atmosphere of the restaurant. With that being said, however, they could also be worried about a new lawsuit Ye is facing.

Former Yeezy employee Murphy Aficionado is suing him for alleged discrimination, creating a hostile work environment, wrongful termination, failure to pay wages, and labor code violations. In his lawsuit, Aficionado accuses Ye of engaging in inappropriate behavior with Censori during work meetings and more. He even alleges that the Chicago artist would go on daily “antisemitic tirades,” which often involved his ex-wife Kim Kardashian.

Bambi Has Fans In A Frenzy After Posting Flirty Photo With Unknown Man

by

It’s no secret that Bambi has dealt with her fair share of relationship issues in recent years. The reality star decided to part ways with her ex Lil Scrappy, with whom she shares three children, in 2023. Now, one of her latest posts has led supporters to believe that she could have her sights set on a new man. Earlier this week, she took to Instagram to repost a photo of herself getting up close and personal with someone, who used a series of red heart emojis in his caption.

Unsurprisingly, her post has earned big reactions from social media users in The Shade Room’s comment section. Many are comparing the man’s appearance to the late King Von’s. Others are congratulating Bambi on what they speculate to be a new relationship. “It’s cr*zy how we all think the same because I said ‘Von?!’ Immediately too,” one fan writes. “Having a photo shoot to show that you’re dating is cr*zy,” another jokes.

Bambi Poses With Rayface During Music Video Shoot

The photo was originally posted by the rapper Rayface, however, who goes by @rayfacesmm on Instagram. Subsequent posts on his Instagram Story appear to suggest that the photo was taken during a music video shoot, seemingly debunking theories that they’re a couple. Regardless, fans are looking forward to seeing what they’ve come up with. While there may not be any major developments in Bambi’s love life these days, the same can’t be said for her ex, Lil Scrappy.

Earlier this month, it was revealed that he’s expecting a baby boy with a hairstylist, Shakira Hardy. According to Bossip, Hardy was a contestant on Pick A Side and eventually connected with Scrappy off-camera. “Shoutout to my baby daddy for making sure he was there and hands-on Thank youuuuuu,” she wrote on social media after sharing clips and photos from their baby shower.

Bianca Censori Sports Tight White Mini-Dress For LA Shopping Spree

by

Bianca Censori never fails to capture fans’ attention with her daring and oftentimes scandalous fashion statements. This week is certainly no exception, as her recent shopping spree look turned plenty of heads. The Australian model and architect was spotted out and about in Los Angeles yesterday, hitting up a Williams Sonoma store to do some shopping. She did so in a white mini-dress and a pair of sheer lace tights. She tied everything together with some simple white heels.

Censori walked out with an entire cart full of new items. While it’s unclear exactly what she bought, it appears as though it was mostly home goods. This makes sense considering her husband Kanye West just bought a new home in Beverly Hills last month. The mansion cost him a whopping $35 million, which was still far less than he paid for his recently sold Malibu property.

In September, he sold the Malibu abode to Belwood Investments CEO Bo Belmont for $21 million. Ye took a major loss, as he paid $57 million for it only three years ago. Allegedly, he had plans to convert the mansion into a bomb shelter, which ultimately did not pan out. Shortly after the sale, Belmont criticized Ye for the changes he made to the property, claiming he “single-handedly destroyed this architectural masterpiece.”

As for Censori, this is far from the first time she’s made headlines for her fashion statements as of late. Earlier this month, for example, she was seen with Ye at McDonald’s in Tokyo, sporting stylish all-silver attire. She also channeled Marilyn Monroe for Halloween in October, putting her own creative spin on the icon’s signature look.
