Ja Rule & Hitmaka Join Forces For Studio Session

by

Ja Rule and Hitmaka recently linked up for a studio session, which means there could be some new heat coming from them in the near future. Unfortunately, the clip doesn’t have any sound, so we don’t really know for sure what style or approach they vibed to in the booth. However, we do know that the producer is very versatile and amassed a lot of hits (it’s in the name, folks…), so we’re sure that there could be some great chemistry with the New York rapper. In fact, considering that Ja has another album on the way, hopefully this ends up being one of many beatsmith links that he partook in for its creation.

Furthermore, Hitmaka’s still keeping busy with his career, even if some potential beef with King Harris, T.I., and Tiny might get in the way of a possible collab. Regardless, we can only guess as to what this new work with Ja Rule could sound like, especially considering their storied artistry. Will they tackle flashy, old-school 2000s beats to evoke the previous era or will we see the MC ride more contemporary production? Either way, these career revitalizations are always a treat to see in hip-hop, even if the results can sometimes make this hype vanish. Fingers crossed for this one!

Of course, we know that Ja Rule is very confident in his skills and success, as he thinks no top 50 rappers list is complete without him. “I’m not a hater,” he said of Billboard and VIBE‘s top 50 MCs list, which left him off, during a recent appearance on The Tamron Hall Show. “Congrats to everyone on the list. [But] these lists, they’re meaningless because music is subjective. You like who you want to like, you know everybody has their favorite artist… But my thing was: this is a list comprised by Billboard. They do numbers and statistics, if I’m not mistaken. Okay so, that list is impossible to make without Ja Rule being on it -–statistically impossible.

“There are artists that don’t have number one records, don’t have number one albums,” the “Always On Time” spitter continued. “I’m not knocking anybody on the list because, like I said, music is subjective… And when it comes to some of the older artists, you kind of got to go by different metrics because they didn’t have the sales. So I get that, but I said what I said.” For more news and the latest updates on Hitmaka and Ja Rule, stay posted on HNHH.

Nick Cannon & Alyssa Scott Honor Late Son Zen With Sweet Family Video

by

Nick Cannon might have a lot of children to take care of, 12 to be exact, but it appears as though he’s sure to prioritize time with each of them. Most recently, he took to Instagram to share a heartwarming video alongside Alyssa Scott and their daughter Halo. Halo, who the duo welcomed in December of 2022, is Cannon’s youngest child.

In the video, Scott and Cannon are seen walking along a scenic shore with baby Halo, the sun setting in the distance. The parents look to be filled with joy, planting several kisses on each of her cheeks. Cannon took the opportunity to honor his late son with Scott, Zen, in his caption. Zen passed away in 2021 at only five months old due to a brain tumor.

“Zen’s Light and presence shining over little miss Halo and Mommy and Daddy!” his caption begins. “What a beautiful day to remind us all that there is a higher power and God’s Energy and frequency to keep us all going under his grace and mercy even in the midst of challenges. ❤🙏🏾 @itsalyssaemm.” Countless fans, and even the mother of another one of Cannon’s kids Bre Tiesi, flooded his comments section with support. This is far from the only time followers have seen Zen’s “light” live on, however.

Last month, Cannon visited a California children’s hospital for the holidays in Zen’s honor. He dressed up as Santa, much to the delight of young patients. “Zens’s Light shining bright for the holidays!! Thank you to the Children’s Hospital of Orange County and everyone who made the day so loving, warm and memorable.🙏🏾❤,” he wrote. What do you think about Nick Cannon and Alyssa Scott’s adorable new family video? What about them honoring their late son, Zen?

Halle Bailey Continues Post-Pregnancy IG Streak With Underwater Belly Shoot

by

Halle Bailey is really enjoying her newfound life as a mother after only just a couple of weeks or so. Moreover, she and her boo DDG welcomed their first son Halo into the world late into 2023, and announced his birth just last week at press time. Most recently, though, the singer and actress shared her post-pregnancy body in a new picture for her Snapchat followers. “So this is me rn and I’ve [been] letting my body heal,” she captioned the photo. “Haven’t started really working out yet but I’ll show you my goal [heart emoji].” Thanks to the 23-year-old’s most recent Instagram post, we can assume there will be a lot more content coming.

Furthermore, she just posted a video of an underwater photo shoot that Brandon Almengo did for her, and it looks absolutely stunning. Halle Bailey’s free-flowing dress and locks of hair swirl all around her as she poses for various angles while submerged, and fans also begged her to drop the song she used as the vid’s background. “missing my belly already [purple heart emoji] but i obviously had to do underwater pics,” the “Angel” star captioned the vid. Now that she doesn’t have to be secretive anymore, we’re sure that she and DDG will capitalize on the wholesome updates now and rewind back in time to give fans the scoop.

Halle Bailey’s Underwater Pregnancy Photo Shoot: Video

In addition to all this, the couple had each other to celebrate recently, not just the arrival of their bundle of joy. For example, DDG and Halle Bailey recently celebrated their second anniversary in late December, and we can imagine it was hard not to bring up their son while showing each other love for their bond. Regardless, the flood of rumors that had people feeling unsurprised at Halo’s birth didn’t stop them from moving on with their careers as usual. They could’ve easily just given fans the pleasure of saying “I told you so,” but they stuck through with their plan until the very end, or so we think.

Meanwhile, we wonder what other interesting things about this pregnancy went unnoticed or that fans actually figured out over the past nine months or so. Perhaps DDG can address it in a new song or vlog, as he expressed a lot of happiness over becoming a father. Congrats to the happy couple for this amazing moment, and we hope they keep it rolling with some adorable insights into their journey– if they so choose. On that note, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Halle Bailey.

6ix9ine Says He Would Die For His Woman, Yailin La Mas Viral, After Assault Incident

by

It looks like 6ix9ine separates work from his personal life, because when it comes to his partners and not his rap game peers or street acquaintances, he’s loyal to a fault. Moreover, a new clip emerged of him in the car with his boo, Yailin La Más Viral, as he gushed over her. Unless this is a new flame that looks pretty much identical to her, then this is the same woman that was arrested on felony charges just a couple of weeks ago for threatening him with a knife, assaulting him with a two-by-six, and verbally abusing him. Unless the New York provocateur moved on to a lookalike, it seems like this is water under the bridge for him.

“Yo amo a esta tipa con toda mi vida,” 6ix9ine began. “Te lo juro que yo doy mi vida por esta tipa. No importa que ella diga, pero yo la amo con toda mi vida. Es la tipa la más hermosa que yo he visto en mi vida. Te lo juro por mi madre que es una tipa que yo he deseado en mi vida entera. Te lo juro que es un sueño que yo esté con ella. Mira esta tipa, qué bonita es ella. No, pero ella no tiene que ser eso. Yo la amo con la vida entera mía.” Too long, didn’t translate? We’ve got you covered on the former gang affiliate‘s love for his girl.

“I love this girl with my whole life,” 6ix9ine said. “I swear that I would give my life for this woman. It doesn’t matter what she says, but I love her with my whole life. She’s the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen in my life. I swear on my mother that she’s a woman I’ve wanted for my whole life. I swear it’s a dream for me to be with her. Look at this girl, she’s so pretty. No, but she doesn’t need to be that. I love her with my whole life.”

Meanwhile, the rainbow-haired artist recently was accused of loving someone else with his whole life. DJ Akademiks recently blasted the rapper’s ex, Jade, for claiming that the two associates slept together for a while. He outright denied having relations with his musical and content partner, so we’ll see what other antics await for them in 2024. For more news and the latest updates on 6ix9ine, check back in with HNHH.

DJ Akademiks Accused Of Sexual Assault & Grooming Minors

by

DJ Akademiks is currently under a lot of fire on the Internet right now for some allegedly abhorrent behavior. Moreover, during a recent conversation seemingly on the Off The Record podcast, he spoke about a lot of things relating to his complicated relationship with women. Particularly, the media personality claimed that his girlfriend stole $500K from him, along with some other accusations of assault and conflicting reports about her getting arrested on felony charges. As of press time, those haven’t been officially confirmed. Another tale concerned a girl that he was “f***ing with” that allegedly had a threesome at his house with his friends while he was passed-out drunk.

“I’m shaming her now,” DJ Akademiks remarked. “I said to her, ‘Yo, I’ma keep it a bean with you. You came to my house and had two n***as f**k you raw.’ I ain’t seen no condom, no nothing. I said to her, ‘You should go get tested, bro.’ From that moment, she kept trying to pivot on the denial, like, ‘Yo, send me the video, I’m pretty sure I didn’t f**k him.’ Now I’m getting super tight, because bro, I’m not about to watch this video of you getting f***ed, it’s on my surveillance camera. I was f***ing with you.”

DJ Akademiks Faces Sexual Assault Allegations

Then, a video emerged on social media of a woman claiming to be who that DJ Akademiks referred to. “I look cr*zy right now, but I’m not gonna stand here and let this man continue to lie about me,” she began. “That’s not what happened, Akademiks. You know that’s not what happened. And for you to pretend like you didn’t do anything? That I just went to your house and I’m just some thot. Like we didn’t know each other for two years. You tried to save yourself after your friends assaulted me. Whether you got drunk or not, I know that when I woke up, you were on top of me, too. You r*ped me, too. A r*pe kit was done. You know what? I’m gonna come back with my own story. This what you wanted? You’re about to get it. I’ve been quiet for way too long.”

More Allegations From & Against Ak

In addition, allegations emerged online of the former Everyday Struggle host grooming underage girls. Some of these are alleged DMs, others are testimonies, but all of them are just accusations at this point. Others pointed to a clip of what sounds like a woman screaming during his livestream, althought the validity of this is unconfirmed. Regardless, we’ll see what these explosive claims develop into in 2024. Meanwhile, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on DJ Akademiks.

Janelle Monae Becomes The Grinch In Stunning Costume

by

Janelle Monáe is bringing a whole new meaning to the holiday spirit, as they’re quite literally wearing it on their face. Moreover, they shared a new video of them donning a full costume of The Grinch that looks like it could’ve appeared in a live-action film of it. It’s unclear whether the singer and actress will use this fit for something grander or if they just wanted to pop off and go a little bit harder on the “a very extra Christmas” front. Either way, the results certainly speak for themselves, and we can’t imagine what they might do as an on-screen Grinch. After all, the Kansas City native is intertwining the worlds of movies and music more than ever these days.

Whether this Grinch outfit is for a video, some promo material, or just for fun, we’re glad that they’re celebrating with style and joy. This was an excellent year for Janelle Monae: their album The Age Of Pleasure, while not as conceptually daunting as previous work, still ranks as one of 2023’s best, waviest, and most soothing auditory offerings. In addition, they also caused a lot of noise with their tour and proudly stamped their identity into the industry as always. Hopefully 2024 yields even more great things in whatever artistic lane will be tackled next.

What’s more is that Janelle Monae is also sharing this joy and excitement with plenty of other musical icons. For example, they recently tore it up at the club with Victoria Monét and Teyana Taylor, and the chemistry between these creatives is truly special. Not only are they all accomplished as directors and world-builders, but you’d be hard-pressed to find folks who do it as stylishly as them. Even when they just go out to have fun, these artists never fail to impress and captivate with their presence.

Meanwhile, the 38-year-old recently performed with Usher at a Las Vegas show, an unlikely but very welcome crossover. That shouldn’t have surprised us, though; they often collaborate with so much diverse talent. Fingers crossed for even more special team-ups in the new year. For more news and the latest updates on Janelle Monae, log back into HNHH.

Drake Enlists Morgan Wallen For Explosive “You Broke My Heart” Music Video

by

Today, Drake came through with a new music video for his Scary Hours 3 track, “You Broke My Heart.” He recruited country star Morgan Wallen to co-star in the beginning of the video, but unfortunately, things didn’t end up working out for them. They’re seen chatting about a lost lover over drinks, ultimately deciding that the split was for the best. When they reach the conclusion that they should go and see who else is out there, however, they meet a pretty dramatic fate.

Wallen is seen getting into the passenger seat of Drake’s car, both of them looking eager to hit the town. As they pull away, the camera pans to two women, who hit a button to detonate the car. The destructive duo takes over the video from there, nonchalantly rhyming along with the track as chaos erupts behind them.

This isn’t the only fun music video fans have gotten from Drake as of late, however. Following the release of For All The Dogs, the Canadian hitmaker joined J. Cole for an action-packed “First Person Shooter” music video, which saw Drake performing on top of the Scotiabank Arena. He also enlisted Lyrical Lemonade’s Cole Bennett to direct his dreamy “Another Late Night” video with Lil Yachty, which he dropped in October.

Of course, he also kicked things off with a music video for “8AM In Charlotte,” which features an appearance from his six-year-old son, Adonis. Overall, his latest offering is yet another memorable video, especially considering Morgan Wallen’s appearance. The two of them have gone head to head in the charts in recent months, and fans are loving their alliance. What do you think of Drake’s new “You Broke My Heart” music video?

NBA YoungBoy Dresses As Santa Claus To Take Kids Sledding

by

NBA YoungBoy is spreading the holiday cheer, and also recognizing that he has the leadership and admiration to do something nice for the kids. Moreover, the rapper dressed up as Santa Claus and took people sledding through the Utah mountains, complete with Huskies and multiple carriages. It was a pretty wholesome affair for the rapper, who’s usually in the news for more conflict-driven headlines with other rappers. Nevertheless, even he isn’t immune to Christmas cheer, and he even previewed a new song with some holiday melodies and references. Sure, YB still included some typical rap subject matter in there, so he can’t quite let go of his craft.

Furthermore, it’s heartening to see YoungBoy have some pure, unbothered fun with the youth. Rarely can he engage in his personal life without facing some form of scrutiny, whether for his views or for the context around his house arrest. The 24-year-old remained quite vocal about his frustrations and struggles with this circumstance, something that he probably won’t let go of. Hopefully that clears up for him in the near future, especially leniency amid the holiday season to spend time with his loved ones.

In other news, YoungBoy actually did his part last week to spread the joyful spirit in the name of beef-squashing. In regards to his feud with Joe Budden, he then went on to claim that he “loves” the rapper and media personality, and that their bickering was solely “entertainment.” Of course, it’s very possible that the I Rest My Case hitmaker is simply playing around and trying to be petty, but it’s the holidays; how could we be so pessimistic? Budden hasn’t said much since on the matter, so it’s still a bit of an open-ended resolution.

More YB Sledding Footage

Meanwhile, there’s still a lot of new music to come from the Never Broke Again boss, which is basically a law of physics at this point. After all, who’s expecting him to slow down his prolific output? We’ll see what other cheer these holidays bring in the rap world. On that note, stay up to date on HNHH for more news and the latest updates on NBA YoungBoy.

Quavo Dismisses Woman’s Dirty Talk During Hilarious Blind Dating Video

by

From his music, you know that Quavo likes to have fun in the bedroom, but just like anyone else, he’s not always in that mood. Moreover, he recently participated in a new video titled “20 WOMEN VS 1 RAPPER,” uploaded on YouTube by Noluvmar. In it, the former Migo meets 20 random women and has to pick between them in a speed dating-like scenario. It’s a pretty hilarious video– albeit a questionable concept– that other rappers like Boosie Badazz have also done in the past. This time, though, Quay had a particularly hilarious reaction to one woman from Kentucky, Riley, who was a bit too excited to get intimate with him.

In the clip below, you can see him ask this woman some questions about what she likes to do: hobbies, interests, you know the drill. They mention Six Flags, traveling, and then out of nowhere, the woman says that she likes “f***ing and sucking d**k” for fun. “Damn, why everything is that with you?” the soon-to-be flautist asked Riley. “Besides, you know, f***ing and sucking d**k, what else?” he asked, which caused him, Noluvmar, and Riley to chuckle and giggle.

“I don’t know if I can eat at a table with her,” Quavo told the host after she walked away when her time was up. They joked about not being able to take her to your mother’s house, and you can tell by her reaction and the laughs that everyone took it in stride. Of course, we know that the Georgia trap icon’s interests are much more varied and eclectic than what many might assume. For example, he recently practiced his karate skills in Japan, adding yet another skill to his growing portfolio.

Meanwhile, the 32-year-old is still having a lot of fun on the music side of things, so don’t think he’s getting distracted at all. After all, Travis Scott recently brought him out at his Miami concert to great success, hyping up the crowd and showing off some potent chemistry. So if you ever meet Huncho, just know that you don’t have to try too hard to get him excited. For more news and the latest updates on Quavo, check back in with HNHH.

Coi Leray Hops On Stripper Pole & Shows Off Her Moves: Watch

by

Coi Leray is apparently looking to expand her skillset when it comes to dance performance. Moreover, she recently posted a TikTok showing off her pole-dancing moves, as she slides down it while holding on with just one hand and opens her legs wide without fret. Even if you might not be a fan of the lewd display– or of pole dancing in general– you can’t deny the rapper’s showing off some significant upper body strength here. Just goes to show that sometimes, being expressive, playful, sexy, or fearless when it comes to dance is a much more solid workout than some haters assume.

Overall, the Boston native’s never been shy about her image or her sensuality, with many discussions sprouting around the way in which she presents herself. For example, a fan recently questioned whether she’s changed her face at all, for which she had a simple explanation. “lol because I’m gaining weight and it’s going to my face,” Coi Leray remarked on Twitter. She always keeps it pretty real when it comes to how she sees herself and promotes herself online, especially when it comes to her physical freedom and agency.

Coi Leray Displays Her Pole Dancing Skills: Watch

With this response in mind, though, it’s fair to say that the “Players” MC doesn’t appreciate assumptions about her body. However, it’s something that still serves as a focal point for many of her confrontations online, whether that’s with fans or with others in the industry. Still, when it comes to Coi Leray’s relationship with her father Benzino– her most contentious and public conflict– this aspect bears little relevance. Rather, they bicker over whether they’re exploiting one another in their careers, and how they often discredit each other in some way.

In fact, this dispute even dragged Busta Rhymes into the conversation for his recent provocative music video with her. It’s quite disheartening to see, as the family angle makes drama like this a little more uncomfortable to watch. Hopefully, they will continue to move past this and Coi will keep being unabashedly herself online. For more news and the latest updates on Coi Leray, stay posted on HNHH.
