Ice Spice Keeps Showing Off Weight Loss As Fans Debate Her Slim New Look

by

Ice Spice’s new album Y2K is right around the corner, so it’s no surprise that everyone’s talking about her every move a little more excitedly these days. Moreover, one recent topic of debate online concerns her alleged weight loss, with some fans congratulating her on it and other remarking that there’s not much to congratulate. Whether or not the Bronx femcee intended this conversation and this perceived weight loss, she certainly is showing off her body and beauty all the same on her social media. She returned to her pages with new snaps of her in the studio, with one particular image showing off a more toned midriff that has many fans thinking that she’s taken big steps to lose weight.

Of course, this prompted debates around whether or not Ice Spice looks better now, what this says about beauty standards and self-confidence, and the other questions of image and societal norms that these conversations tend to spark. Sadly, they turned quite nasty online against her, and Sexyy Red was one of many who swooped in to defend her against Internet trolls. “Yal act like people can’t b stressed or not eat as much and she still look good so next…” she commented under an IG post on the matter. Amid a lot of the media trying to put these female rappers against each other, it’s heartening to see then stick up for each other.

Ice Spice’s Newest Snaps

Regardless, we’re sure that Ice Spice has a lot more on her mind these days ahead of her album coming up next week. We now have an official tracklist for Y2K, which will feature Travis Scott, Central Cee, and Gunna, and while the short number of tracks and the amount of already released singles is pretty controversial, we’re sure that a deluxe will probably follow. It’s the release schedule and method that plenty of hip-hop artists have used successfully as of late. But what fans really care about is to see whether this marks a new sonic era, an improvement on existing formulas, or something else entirely.

Meanwhile, this whole rollout for Y2K wasn’t without its fair share of drama behind it, especially in the relationship rumor mill. Ice Spice’s close relationship with Central Cee these days prompted his ex-girlfriend to blast him for cheating, and that whole thing continues to fall out. We don’t know how much of it is just gossip and how much of it is legitimate. But much like these weight loss discussions, we’ve yet to see any conclusive statements on it from the “Princess Diana” star.

Frank Ocean Flaunts His Muscular Physique In New Selfie And Fans Can’t Contain Themselves

by

Whenever Frank Ocean does anything online, fans go wild for it, even if it’s as simple as a hairstyle change. Moreover, he just uploaded a new series of snaps on Instagram, one of which shows him rocking a wrestling outfit and a whole lot of firepower. Fans were very quick to comment on the Endless creative’s jacked physique, and how it seems like he’s been spending all his time at the gym when he should be working on the release of new material. But then again, it’s been seven-and-a-half years since his last full-length Blonde in 2016, so he had plenty of time to hit the weights at his own pace.

Jokes aside, the sheer quality of this scant but classic discography has kept fans fed for a long, long time. As such, many of them are happily patient to wait for new music whenever Frank Ocean is ready, whereas others make the pain of patience for him their whole musical personality. Either way, each group definitely contributed to him becoming the most streamed independent artist of all time in late 2023. Sure, the Long Beach native wasn’t always independent, but much of his most popular material came after going his own way. Check out some more of what he posted on his IG Story on Monday (March 4) down below.

What’s more is that another elusive legend in music recently spoke on how the “Higgs” crooner inspired him to pop out of the shadows more, which is quite ironic. “A year after Idlewild at home, I was blessed to start getting asked to be on remixes,” André 3000 expressed told Questlove last year. “And that was a blessing for me because it gave me a chance to rap. When I say a blessing, this is a town creating a new sound. DJ Unk actually came through another DJ friend of mine that know Unk, and Unk said, ‘Ask Andre if he’ll get on [the ‘Walk It Out’] beat.’ It was no big production; I don’t know if I got paid for the [remix]. I think the trade-off was, ‘Hey Unk, can you do a couple beats that we scratched in the background of my cartoon for Class of 3000?’”

“The beat was so jammin’ that you just wanted to get on it,” he continued. “So I say the blessing because any rapper just wanna be on a good beat and in the city. Or even later, like, new artists. Even if a Frank Ocean says, ‘Hey, get on my song’… Frank Ocean’s a new artist, I don’t know him. When I say a blessing, that introduced me to a whole other generation, too. I say blessing because we just came off Speakerboxxx/The Love Below and Idlewild. Which was a musical, more focused, melodic kind of thing, so I didn’t rap a lot in those offerings. So I say a blessing because it gave me an opportunity to do what I enjoy doing.” Let’s hope Frank finds the same opportunity soon.

Tiny Shares T.I. Valentine’s Day Post, Raunchy Video Makes It Slightly NSFW

by

Tiny Harris might be in a whole lot of family drama right now, but that didn’t stop her from dedicating a sweet Valentine’s Day post for her man T.I. on Instagram. In it, they both grab onto each other’s… valuables in the video montage, which is a bit lewd for a typically romantic day, but who are we to tell them how to express their love? Regardless, this follows a lot of developments in their family life that caught a lot of folks’ attention in the headlines, especially as it relates to her seemingly rocky relationship with their son King. Despite all this, it seems like they can still set all that aside to celebrate each other, and this time around, it’s Tiny’s turn to show Tip some love.

“Happy Valentine’s Day to the love of my life @tip,” Tiny wrote to T.I. on the social media platform, captioning the video edit. “Thank you for loving the way u do. U always make me feel like the most love & adored woman in the world & I love u so much for it. 23years strong. God just keeps on Blessing me & our union!!! #TipNTiny #RealLove couldn’t cut @eclass1982 out cause she was too lit.”

Tiny’s Valentine’s Day Post For T.I.

However, beyond their family life and relationship, T.I. might have to defend Tiny against some contemporary stars. For example, Ari Lennox recently called her out for criticizing her range in a 2022 interview during a recent Instagram Live session. “You can’t drag me and then, ‘Oh yeah!’” Lennox expressed. “I mean, just like Tiny. You can’t in one breath say, ‘Oh yeah, she’s amazing,’ but also say I don’t have range. These are back-handed compliments, so I will forever look at you like a shady pest. Yeah, that’s what she said. That really hurt my feelings.”

Meanwhile, the couple is also dealing with some heavy lawsuits and accusations of sexual assault. Those cases remain open and hotly contested, and there’s no telling how they will develop and play out in the near future. Hopefully they can resolve any internal conflict before handling these tough allegations. On that note, stay logged into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Tiny and T.I.

Drake Chills Out On IG Amid Nicki Minaj & Megan Thee Stallion Shots

by

Even though Drake got a shot sent his way on the new song “HISS,” courtesy of Megan Thee Stallion, he seems pretty unbothered online. “If it wasn’t for you I would never know how much I can handle…I can’t stand you but also thank you,” he captioned two pictures of him walking around and drinking with a baggy gray suit. Perhaps the 6ix God subtly responded to Meg here, although his subliminals are usually much more apparent. Regardless, his silence on the matter has been very interesting to see, especially considering that her main target right now is his fellow Young Money superstar, Nicki Minaj.

Of course, after Nicki dropped “Big Foot” earlier this week as her response track, this became a one-on-one showdown… for now. As such, there’s really no reason for Drake to come in with reinforcements just yet, and we can’t say for sure whether he’ll ever need to. After all, sometimes rap beef only hits upon a couple of points brought up in these attacks to one another, and it’s rare for an artist to want to address everything. But he had a very busy 2023 with hiatus plans and a desire to just have some fun, so we can’t really express shock if he decides to jump ship.

Drake’s New Instagram Post Amid Nicki & Meg Drama

All this aside, Drake has animosity of his own to handle. Yasiin Bey recently clarified his thoughts on him making pop music, not hip-hop. “Drake, if you’d like to speak to me directly, you can at any point,” he expressed in a social media video. “I reached out to [Dave] Chappelle, actually reached out to you. I DM’d you. You are a very talented MC, but for me, I require more of myself and others than just talent or charm or charisma -– particularly in times of urgent crisis.

“And what I would like to see in terms of creators or creative people in the world, as it relates to our culture, is for people to connect with us beyond the jukebox or the dance floor,” the artist formerly known as Mos Def concluded. “A fair-weather friend can hardly be called a friend at all. The people who party with you -– that’s cool. But will they show up for you when you’re at the triage?” For more news and the latest updates on Drake, check back in with HNHH.

Chloe Bailey Showered With Love From Fans After Recent Instagram Post

by

One of Pandora’s new ambassadors, Chloe Bailey, is getting the love she deserves on social media for a recent Instagram post, which she captioned “whole lotta woman.” Moreover, it follows and features a recent performance with BJ The Chicago Kid, showing off her raw vocal chops and stylish look. Not only did fellow superstars like the Georgia native’s sister Halle Bailey, Muni Long, and Flo Milli sing their praises, but everyday fans expressed a lot of support and admiration. “u ate that performance ofc,” one wrote, whereas another shared, “Absolutely stunning. Not alot… THE WHOLE DAMN THANG.” Folks must pray for Internet clout like this…

Sure, it also came with its critics, but compared to what the R&B artist has been through before, this is a wonderful improvement. Whether it was due to her alleged dating life, performances, music, or life choices, it seems like everybody had something negative to say about her just a few months ago. Fortunately, that died down eventually -– as most social media fads tend to do -– and it doesn’t feel like a hate campaign anymore. Chloe Bailey is excited to stay afloat and grow even more, and we know that she can handle the heat.

Furthermore, this is great motivation to see because Chloe X Halle are coming with new music very soon, reports indicate. While this news claims that the In Pieces hitmaker herself confirmed this, we couldn’t find anything online that suggests this, although both teased new music without confirming whether it’s solo or a team-up. Either way, fans of good soul and immaculate vibes are probably very excited for this. Even though Chloe Bailey dropped recently, it’s always a possibility that she strikes again while the iron is hot.

Meanwhile, she also recently reflected on how she helped make her sister Halle’s pregnancy the “best-kept secret ever.” Of course, it didn’t exactly end up being that, but it was certainly an effort. Hopefully that new music comes sooner rather than later, as we’re always down for some more fantastic R&B. On that note, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Chloe Bailey.

Coi Leray Goes Bare For Social Media Thirst Trap After Eminem Diss

by

Coi Leray’s never been a shy social media user, and she realized just how much people love her more sultry content. Of course, it also results in plenty of backlash and criticism, but the balance has definitely turned more accepting in recent months. Moreover, the Massachusetts rapper recently took to social media platforms such as Twitter to share a steamy and revealing new picture. It’s a mirror selfie that shows her with some sort of black blanket, but since the room has mirrors on different sides, you can see her from different angles. Most notably, you can see the “Players” hitmaker’s scantily-clad backside thanks to this, which got people pretty rowdy.

However, this is particularly notable thanks to recent context around her in the headlines. Furthermore, this thirst trap arrives just a few days after Eminem released a diss track against Coi Leray and her father Benzino, “Doomsday Pt. 2.” In it, he basically continues his decades-long attacks against The Source‘s former co-owner, and also implies that this means he’ll never do a feature with his daughter. Plenty of fans on both sides had a lot to say about this, but it’s nothing compared to the wild nature of previous disses.

Coi Leray’s New Thirst Trap

Still, Coi Leray responded to all of this via social media, and just like this new thirst trap, they suggest that she’s letting it slide. “Rap beef is so washed and tired,” she expressed. “Exhausting. Embarrassing. Just f***ing over all corny as f**k. [person dumping trash emoji]. I got no issues with no one. I’m so locked in on my grown and sexy vibes… if anybody don’t like me, that’s something they gotta take on with themselves [red heart emoji]. Man who the hell said I wanted a Eminem feature ?? Imagine Eminem on Wanna Come thru?”

Meanwhile, the 26-year-old is obviously no stranger to rap beef, which makes this point a tad moot. Regardless, clearly she wants to move on from the whole thing, at least in this instance. Perhaps this is finally what will end the Benzino and Eminem saga. Nevertheless, for more news and the latest updates on Coi Leray, stay logged into HNHH.

50 Cent Recalls People Calling Him Fat At The Super Bowl While Flexing Weight Loss

by

50 Cent did a lot in the last year to level up, and a lot of his recent weight loss posts reflect that journey. Moreover, he recently took to Instagram to flex this one more time, and chose to specifically orient this message towards his haters who clowned him in the past. “I done turned into Mr let’s make a deal on these h*es,” the G-Unit mogul expressed in his caption on the social media platform. “the fvck you gonna tell me now? Yall was calling me fat at the super bowl don’t think I forgot that s**t! @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi.”

Furthermore, this follows a recent social media post in which he spoke on certain theories around this transformation. “You want to talk about weight loss?” 50 Cent wrote on Instagram about losing 43 pounds. “I was in the gym, I was working the f**k out, man. They’re gonna says it’s Ozempic. I was running, I was running, I was doing what I had to do. You’ve seen me on tour, I run around. I was 253 pounds, I’ve came down, I’m 210 right now. Tell me how you feel about it, you tell me how you feel about it later.”

Not only that, but the Queens MC also spoke on how abstinence is keeping him focused in the gym. “I’m focused, man,” 50 Cent wrote in a recent IG post. “Practicing abstinence is helping me train harder. I feel great I think more people should try it. @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi.” “My new idea is so big, I don’t have time to be distracted,” he expressed while revealing his New Year’s resolution for 2024. “I’m practicing abstinence, I have been meditating and focusing on my goals. I hope this New Year helps you excel to the next level.”

Meanwhile, as the 48-year-old faces legal action for a microphone-throwing incident, perhaps this weight loss journey will fall down his list of priorities temporarily. But the body is the temple of the mind, right? Or something like that? So we can only expect him to stay on his grind… and stay quippy and sassy on the Internet, as usual. On that note, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on 50 Cent.

Kanye West Flexes New Metal Teeth Inspired By James Bond Character Jaws

by

It’s no secret that Kanye West enjoys trying out new looks on the regular. Recently, however, he really went the extra mile to emulate a fictional character with a set of metal teeth. The Chicago-born performer hopped on Instagram earlier today to share a photo of his shiny new smile, complete with two apparent fangs. The selfie arrived alongside a screenshot of a Google search for the character that inspired the look, Jaws. The assassin was played by Richard Kiel in the James Bond films The Spy Who Loved Me and Moonraker.

To complement the metal teeth, Ye rocked a string of pearls and what appeared to be a simple black t-shirt. Lately, when he hasn’t been showing off his bold looks alongside his wife Bianca Censori, the hitmaker has been working on his new album with Ty Dolla Sign, Vultures. Unfortunately, the project has seen various delays since it was first announced, most recently getting pushed back yet another month.

Kanye West Shows Off His Assasin-Inspired Smile

Vultures is now expected to drop on February 9, 2024, according to iTunes. He’s also filed a new trademark recently, pointing at even more exciting things in the near future. He filed one for the phrase “I MISS YOU WHEN I WAKE UP BEFORE YOU,” inspired by his recent heartfelt birthday posts for Censori. In the trademark documents, Ye listed various goods and services that would be provided under the trademark, which mostly had to do with interior design or logo design.

Interestingly enough, however, he also listed “Cloud seeding,” “Graphoanalysis,” “exploration services in the field of the oil, gas and mining industries,” and “biological cloning.” Clearly, Ye has big plans. What do you think of Kanye West showing off his new set of metal teeth? What about him taking inspiration from the character Jaws from the James Bond films? Is he pulling them off, or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Halle Bailey Shares Post-Pregnancy Body Picture

by

Halle Bailey just shared one of her first post-pregnancy updates with fans via Snapchat. Moreover, she shared a picture of her body after giving birth to her first son, Halo, whom she has with her partner DDG. “So this is me rn and I’ve [been] letting my body heal,” the R&B star wrote as her snap’s caption. “Haven’t started really working out yet but I’ll show you my goal [heart emoji].” Given that the couple tried their hardest to keep their bundle of joy a secret until he arrived, it’s understandable if she now feels a little bit more comfortable sharing the details of her personal growth and journey as a mother.

Sure, some people complained that the 23-year-old should only pick one or the other, but live and let live. Furthermore, this contrasts US Weekly‘s recent report, which cites an alleged source presumably close to the couple who claimed to know the reasoning behind Halle Bailey’s secrecy. “Halle told friends it was to protect their baby and relationship from scrutiny,” they posited. “But it was all very strange to those around them, especially when she has had such a huge year in movies.” Not only that, but the alleged source also hinted at her having “plans to take some time off to bond with Halo.”

Elsewhere, this is one of many remarks DDG shared about his newborn with Halle Bailey. “I’m a dad, y’all,” he expressed gleefully in a YouTube vlog. “I have a son– I have a baby boy. He’s a newborn. He was actually born last year [but] we were just waiting on the right time to basically break the news or whatever. It’s been a lot of speculation. It’s a blessing and I love him so much. I barely know him and he barely know me. We barely know each other. I just love him so much and it’s just a different type of feeling.”

Meanwhile, Halo’s even got his own Instagram now, so we’re sure we’ll see much more of him in the future. It’s a nice contrast from the pregnancy rumors and wild claims that preceded him, right? Either way, we’re happy that the couple is sharing and growing at their own pace. With that in mind, keep checking in with HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Halle Bailey.

Drake & Johnny Manziel Post Up For A Picture Ten Years After “Draft Day”

by

“SZN is alive and well always,” Drake captioned his most recent Instagram post, which features a special reunion in his lore. Moreover, he posted up with none other than Johnny Manziel, a former college and pro football player who shares a very close relationship with the Toronto superstar. Readers might remember his 2014 song “Draft Day,” which is dedicated to the then-rookie and shouts him out in the chorus: “Draft day, Johnny Manziel, five years later, how am I the man still?” Now, ten years after that song dropped, it seems like the two are still meeting up to kick it and celebrate their careers.

Furthermore, they also have a history of sticking up for one another, which Aubrey Graham first did with “Draft Day” with his staunch show of support. Another example, this time in the inverse, relates to one of the rapper’s multiple feuds with Kanye West, back when it wasn’t an on-and-off-again rivalry but rather a vague animosity. Johnny Manziel alleged that the Chicago rapper is afraid of Drake, and spoke on living close to their Calabasas homes. We wonder what he might have to say about the two’s bond these days…

Johnny Manziel & Drake Reunite

However, it’s also been heartening to see both of them go through a lot of hoops and obstacles on their own, but still coming out with their heads high to meet again. Of course, this is much easier for Drake, whose greatest losses probably still made him a whole lot of cash and nabbed him a whole lot of fans and acclaim. As for Johnny Manziel, it’s been a turbulent road through various football leagues and a lot of personal struggle, too. But through his own growth, statements, and media like a documentary on his wild NFL career, he’s been able to make peace with everything, tell his story, and feel fulfilled.

Meanwhile, Drizzy is still as much of a sports fan as ever, as he also linked up with DJ Khaled to play some basketball recently. Another celebrity athlete will probably show up on his feed sooner rather than later, and he’ll likely be betting on Stake for all your favorite sporting events. But it’s nice to see that Johnny Football is still in the picture. For more news and the latest updates on Drake and Johnny Manziel, stay logged into HNHH.
