Tyler, The Creator Surprises Fans By Freestyling Over Kendrick Lamar’s “Hey Now”

by

It’s been an exciting year for Tyler The Creator, and it looks like the hitmaker has decided to end it with a bang. Today (December 25), he delivered a fun surprise for his fans just in time for the holidays. In his new “THAT GUY” video, he freestyles over Kendrick Lamar’s track “hey now,” from his album GNX. He’s seen spitting braggadocious bars at various locations in his hometown of Hawthorne, CA, and even references his appearance at Kendrick’s “Pop Out” show in Los Angeles this June.

“Lil bunny hop out, you seen me at the pop out / Pandemonium screaming like they brought pac out / Stop it with the chit chat we airing out the kickback / Big stud energy the way I get my lick back / Hey now say now I’m all about my bands / Sh*t I’m on b*tch you wouldn’t understand,” he raps, per Complex. The self-directed video also features some Odd Future alumni, including Travis “Taco” Bennett, Lionel “L-Boy” Boyce, and Jasper Dolphin.

Tyler, The Creator Delivers A Fun Holiday Surprise

Tyler’s new freestyle arrives just weeks after he opened up about how his “Pop Out” performance came together during an interview with Billboard. According to him, he wasn’t even planning to go as he was hard at work on his own new material. At the last minute, however, he decided to do whatever it took to make it happen.

“I wasn’t even supposed to go — I was in Atlanta working on this album,” he began. “But I landed that morning and couldn’t miss this sh*t. And I don’t even get FOMO at all, n***a — I’ll go to sleep. But I’m cool with Kenny and Dave [Free] and Tim [Hinshaw] from Free Lunch. So I went home, showered and ran straight there.” He proceeded to perform his 2019 hit “Earfquake” at the event, much to the delight of fans. “I genuinely think I’m better at my R&B singing sh*t as a whole than my rap sh*t,” he told the outlet. “And those are usually my biggest records.”

50 Cent Gets Messy As He Reshares A Video Of Benzino Going Through An Alarming Manic Episode

by

At this point, 50 Cent may as well start his own gossip page. Right now, there is a concerning video going around on the internet thanks in large part to the G-Unit boss. It involves rapper and former co-owner of The Source, Benzino, appearing to go through a manic episode. There is not a ton of information on the clip right now, but here’s what we know. According to AllHipHop, Benzino’s girlfriend, Ashley Bell, allegedly recorded and posted the footage of him crying and begging on his knees. A little bit later into it, he grabs a knife and holds it to his throat.

Ms. Bell urges him to try and pull the utensil away from, shouting, “Stop please. Stop…” Benzino then pleads her to call the police. However, she doesn’t want things to escalate to that level and she says back, “Give me the knife! I’ll let ’em know you’re calm. I’ll call ’em back.” After that, the clip ends, and yeah, it’s pretty chilling stuff. Now, this is where 50 Cent comes into the picture. He was the one to reshare the video and it’s why it’s spreading like wildfire at the moment.

He also claims to have some inside information about Benzino’s situation. In his caption, he says, “Benzino caught on video, by his girlfriend Ashley Bell threatening to unalive himself with a knife because she called the cops for him allegedly beating her. 😳” Given that these two have been beefing for years, we are clearly taking this report by Fif with a huge grain of salt.

Fans are pretty mixed on the New York native doing this, with one person writing, “Why y’all blaming 50? This is public footage. Blame the GF for releasing it.” Another combats with, “Mental illness is no joke. Some of you are laughing about it but remember this can be someone you love. If not you.” Like we said, there’s still a lot to unpack, and we will hopefully learn more as time progresses.

Rick Ross & His Girlfriend Justice J Williams Look Happier Than Ever While On A Night Out

by

Rick Ross’ love life is a larger part of his pop culture persona than usual these days, as he’s been in a couple of high-profile relationships over the past few years. Despite all that hullabaloo and all the antics that occurred relating to this, it seems like he’s in a very good spot right now with his current partner, Justice J Williams. Recently, she shared a video on Instagram of their night out, during which the rapper spins her around and embraces her in a pretty warm and loving way. It’s a nice piece of wholesomeness for followers online, and definitely something to spruce up and heal a more negative feed.

Interestingly enough, Justice J Williams chose Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s new song “luther” as the background music for this Rick Ross video. We completely understand why: It’s a beautiful and tender song with a lot of noise behind it right now. But it’s ironic given Rozay’s support of K.Dot against his former ally Drake, and his participation in that beef was one of its biggest and most notable side missions.

Rick Ross & Justice J Williams Are Living Their Best Lives

Speaking of which, there’s a crossover in this regard for Rick Ross, who now has to deal with his Drake feud and his romantic woes in tandem with each other. His ex partner Tia Kemp is absolutely on the pro-Drizzy side – in fact, she’s straight up on the anti-Maybach Music Group side, since she also supports The Game in his beef against Ross. She recently expressed that she would let the 6ix God smash if he so desired, one of many statements that aim at Rozay and seek to anger him even more.

Meanwhile, Tia Kemp even became critical of Rick Ross’ relationship with Justice J Williams. “You tell that funky fat b***h, he’s trying to get my attention with this little Diddler baby,” she ranted about him and his age gap with Williams. “You see the big age f***ing gap? That b***h is a Diddler. He doing every f***ing thing to cover his a** right now. He trying to make the blogs and all that s**t right now with a motherf***ing lil girl. I’ll give that b***h something to go viral for.”

Ab-Soul Delivers Hard-Hitting “Soul Burger” Bars On “A COLORS SHOW”

by

It’s been a big year for Ab-Soul. Earlier this year, the Top Dawg Entertainment rapper unleashed his sixth studio album, Soul Burger. It’s since received a great deal of praise from fans and peers, and now, he’s delivered a passionate performance of one of its tracks on A COLORS SHOW. He performed “Squeeze 1st 2,” which boasts hard-hitting and introspective bars. Unsurprisingly, YouTube viewers are impressed, and giving the hitmaker his flowers in the comments section.

“Maaan I’m so happy to see this man Ab-Soul getting his flowers. Truly one of the best to ever touch a mic!” one fan writes. “Soul Burger really a masterpiece. This man’s discography is INCREDIBLE,” another says. The album is dedicated to his late friend and collaborator Armon “Doe Burger” Stringer, who passed away in 2021. Ab-Soul opened up about his vision for the project during an interview with Billboard earlier this month, revealing that he had a different goal this time around.

Ab-Soul Performs “Squeeze 1st 2”

“This is to get the crowd jumping and focus more on the feeling versus being so cerebral,” he told the outlet at the time. “I think Quincy Jones said, ‘You gotta leave a little space for God to step in.’ I been going in beating my head against the wall coming up with the dopest metaphor versus expressing myself.” His lyricism remains unmatched, earning him kudos from some of the best. Kendrick Lamar, for example, gave him a shoutout on his new album GNX.

He recognizes his former Black Hippy groupmate’s creative process on “the heart pt 6,” calling him one of his own inspirations. “Ab-Soul in the corner mumblin’ raps, fumblin’ packs of Blacks / Crumblin kush ’til he cracked a smile / His words legendary, wishin’ I could rhyme like him / Studied his style to define my pen,” he raps. Shortly after Soul Burger was released, Kendrick also broke his usual social media silence to praise the project on his burner Instagram account.

Blueface Debuts Shocking New Face Tattoos Amid Prison Stay

by

It’s been a while since fans have heard any big news about Blueface. This is mostly due to the fact that he’s currently behind bars. The “Thotiana” rapper turned himself in earlier this year for an alleged parole violation. Unfortunately, it looks like he’ll be in jail for at least another few months. That hasn’t stopped him from making major changes, however, namely to his appearance. In new footage that surfaced online today, he looks to have gotten some new face tattoos.

The last time supporters saw him, he didn’t appear to have nearly as much ink on his face as he does now. At the time of writing, it remains unclear whether or not the tattoos are temporary or the real deal. Either way, the footage has sparked concern among social media users, who are now comparing him to Chrisean Rock. For those who don’t recall, she debuted a huge tattoo of Blueface’s face on her cheek after he was arrested.

Blueface Seemingly Gets New Ink Behind Bars

While Blueface is wrapped up in his legal issues, Chrisean seems to have been caring for his youngest child Chrisean Jesus, who they welcomed in September of 2023. She’s dealt with her own fair share of issues with the law in recent months, but now, it looks like she’s committed to staying on a better path. For now, it’s unclear whether or not Blueface plans to do the same when he’s released.

It’s also uncertain exactly when he’ll be able to reunite with his family, but he seems hopeful that it won’t be too much longer. In October, his official Instagram account shared a post hinting at a potential release date. “I’ll Ce Out JULY Don’t Bink!!!!!” it read. This got fans’ hopes up, as it was previously reported that he could be in jail for up to four years.

Controversial TikToker “LifeandScars” Smokes Fentanyl During Livestream After Allegedly Faking His Death

by

In mid-October, some truly wild rumors were flying around social media about TikToker, “LifeandScars.” For those unaware of him, he makes a lot of relationship content, and his takes usually ruffle a lot of feathers. Overall, he’s built up quite a reputation and has been on multiple platforms for a few years now. As for the rumors, friends and some of his Discord moderators were claiming that the 37-year-old multi-media figure had passed away. They were saying that an accidental overdose was the cause of his death. One of his affiliates on Discord even came out and said, “Listen, I also can’t believe that this happened. All I know is that he passed away from an overdose. An update will be posted if I get one.”

Fans of “LifeandScars” were even sendinng their condolences and remembering his impact. However, about a week later, reports began to surface that this was all a hoax. Instead, the TikTok creator was arrested on a misdemeanor charge and was released on bond the day he “died.” Those same people close to LifeandScars that were confirming the previous news were the ones behind the joke. They admitted to not wanting to debunk the false reports “’cause that s*** was funny.” Despite this and some photos making the rounds, it was hard to believe if “LifeandScars” was actually alive.

“LifeAndScars” AKA “Game Is Game” Boldly Announces His Return

Well, we can finally put that to rest today, as he is back online. Akademiks TV posted a clip from the content creator’s recent YouTube video boldly announcing his return. He first takes a seat in his chair and puts on ear-to-ear smile. “LifeandScars” then takes a rip of fentanyl before speaking. “Well. Well, well, well, well, well,” he begins.

“Hello motherf***ers. How the f*** y’all doin’ tonight?” He then proposes a toast, but not to the most conventional of people. “To all the underage drinkers. To all the drunk drivers… all the pregnant b****es… recovering addicts… unregistered sex offenders, and last but not least to all the people who are alive.” He then adds, “Everybody always do a toast to the people who dead. N****, let’s toast to the people who alive. B**** n**** we here. To all the people who dead, I’m glad I ain’t y’all. Game is Game, nice to be back fellas.” He doesn’t address the rumors in the clip, but maybe he will?

Tyler, The Creator Unleashes New “Chromakopia” Teaser & Confuses Fans With Cryptic Hint

by

Tyler, the Creator is currently gearing up to drop his highly anticipated seventh studio album, Chromakopia. The project is slated for release on October 28, and recently, he delivered yet another preview of what’s to come. Today, Tyler unleashed a new self-directed video titled “Thought I Was Dead.”

Visually, it fits in with the rest of the promotional videos Tyler has dropped this month. As expected listeners are already loving the new track, and have flooded his YouTube comments section with praise. “IT’S SO GOOD WE’RE IN FOR A CLASSIC,” one writes. “CHROMAKOPIA WILL BE ALBUM OF THE YEAR,” another insists.

Tyler, The Creator Prepares To Drop Chromakopia

While the teaser has certainly managed to get fans excited, another one of Tyler’s latest moves has them feeling the opposite. He changed his Twitter/X bio to read “F*CKKKKKK FEATURES,” which some speculate could mean there won’t be any features on Chromakopia. This is unconfirmed, but some social media users are disappointed regardless, as they’ve been theorizing about who could appear on the album since the “St. Chroma” teaser came out earlier this month. Kendrick Lamar, Frank Ocean, 21 Savage, and Little Simz are among the collaborators fans expected.

For now, it appears as though fans will just have to wait until Monday at 6 AM EST to see what this all means. Tomorrow, however, some lucky supporters in the Los Angeles area will have an opportunity to hear the project in full early during his listening party at the Intuit Dome. What do you think of Tyler, the Creator’s new “Thought I Was Dead” video? What about him appearing to hint at the idea of there being no features on his new album? Do you think this could be the case or not? Are you looking forward to finally hearing Chromakopia when it drops on Monday at 6 AM EST?

Cardi B Responds To Internet’s Ruthless Postpartum Surgery Claims

by

Cardi B is probably one of the most scrutinized rappers in the industry. Regardless of how personal the topic is or not, the internet is going to comment on her. The heat has especially been turned up to an 11 ever since her and Offset announced their divorce in early August. It’s been messy once again, and it hasn’t helped that she just delivered baby number three in September. Now, her body (for some reason) has sparked contentious debate on social media, adding another layer of stress for the NY rapper.

Not too long ago, Cardi B shared a video in which she was looking extra curvy in a mirror. The caption over the clip reads, “I don’t understand how I’m losing weight everywhere but my face – _ -.” There’s also pictures of her bodying some stunning dresses, looking like she never gave birth to begin with. If you remember, just a few days ago, Cardi was seen recording her workout at the gym just days after giving birth. She’s obviously doing it for herself, but she’s also looking to prove previous haters wrong that were judging her following her first and second pregnancies. “I remember how y’all made me feel in May, and y’all hurt my feelings. Snap back is gonna be on a thousand.” Now, people are talking again, and she’s responding, according to Uproxx.

A post shared by Akademiks TV (@djakademikstv)

Above, you can see that a Twitter user is assuming that she got some cosmetic work done and that she “blew it” and it’s “pissing” this person off! It’s a pretty insensitive thing to claim, and as you can imagine, it set her off. So, she got to responding, and she explains why her body looks extremely snatched. “Y’all really need to relax.. This is how my body REALLY LOOKS LIKE… My body looks exaggerated in the other video cause I have a 5X faja (body-shaping garment) on… I want yall to think wit yall brain.. Yall was just praising my body couple days ago… do yall think I went and got surgery in 2 days?” Thankfully, a fan came to her defense making it known you can’t get surgery until six months have passed since giving birth. Cardi replied with a huge “THANK YOU” in return. Even though this should be enough to debunk the surgery rumors, we know all too well it’s going to continue.

What are your thoughts on Cardi B clapping back at the internet for their criticism of her postpartum figure? Do you think people are too critical of the New York rapper, why or why not? 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 Cardi B.

Benzino Reveals He’s In A Relationship By Putting An End To Flirty DMs

by

Benzino’s close relationships have not been the smoothest. Him and Coi Leray are not on talking terms, the former recently revealed. “It’s unfortunate. But, you know, we don’t communicate too much. The whole thing is surreal to me… I’m a smart guy but I can’t figure this one out”, he told the We In Miami podcast. He seems to be trying to be understanding, though, saying, “Coi is a young lady, she independent. This young generation, they don’t want their parents interfering with their lives, man. I have to learn to adapt to that and respect that”. He’s hopeful that they can reconvene and repair their now tumultuous situation.

For now, though, Benzino seems to be looking to make himself happy right now. A recent clip reshared onto Baller Alert‘s IG account reveals that the co-owner of Source is in a relationship. In the video, he never explicitly says her name, outside of nicknames like “baby” and that he’s “got a girl whom I love”. This big announcement has come to light though because he’s been receiving a lot of DMs from other women, he claims.

A post shared by Baller Alert (@balleralert)

Since he’s committed, Benzino is nicely not accepting/looking at any more flirtatious messages. “I’m sorry, miss poor girl, but I got a girl. I don’t be looking at girls’ DMs and all that. No disrespect, but I got a girl whom I love, and I just don’t be doing it like that”. He continues to be appreciative, but makes it clear that he’s focused on the task at hand. “I’m flattered by all the compliments, and I appreciate the love, but I love my baby. I love my baby. I ain’t trying to mess none of that up”. Of course, though, trolls are not buying the DM portion of the story. “Who the hell is messaging this man???”. “He thought the sex bots were real 😭”. These are just few distasteful comments, but we are happy to see that Benzino is in love and wanting to stay the course.

What are your thoughts on Benzino now ignoring flirty DMs after announcing he’s in a relationship? Do you think trolls are being too harsh here, why or why not? Who do you think this mystery woman is? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Mariah Carey Getting Ready To Perform Again After “Couple Of Rough Weeks”

by

According to TMZ, Mariah Carey is getting ready to tour once again. In a recent Instagram post, the R&B icon shared a short clip of her powerfully singing and prepping for said upcoming performances. She will be heading across the globe to China and then eventually Brazil (or vice versa) very soon. However, at the time of writing, nothing is officially set in stone just yet. But despite all that’s happened, she seems to be excited to get back onstage and perform in front of thousands. “Back at work. It’s been a couple of rough weeks, but I appreciate everyone’s love and support so much”, she said. “I can’t wait to see my fans in China & Brazil. Love you! ❤❤❤”.

Of course, those “couple of rough weeks” are a reference to the passing of her mother and sister. Both Patricia (87) and Alison (63) died on the same day during the weekend of August 23. Still, no one knows the causes of their deaths. There’s also the off chance that Mariah is talking about catching some flak from a friend of Alison’s in regard to not reaching out and that the singer knew about her sibling’s condition.

Carey never addressed the matter publicly, but there’s probably a chance she talked to David Baker behind closed doors. He accused her of being aware about her dwindling life expectancy for about a month. Alison was reportedly heartbroken about never getting a “phone call or, better still, a video call”. There continues to still be a lot of questions about all of this, so stay with us for anything else regarding this ongoing storyline.
