Latto Collab Criticism Leads “777” Artist To Speak Out

In terms of style, Latto faces accusations of “stealing” outfit ideas from Ice Spice and other rap divas. When it comes to her collaborative choices, however, the Atlanta-based lyricist is known for picking unique names and helping put them on the map. For her first release of 2023, she tapped LU KALA to join her for the Dr. Luke-produced “Lottery,” and after that, we heard her on Mello Buckzz’s “Boom Pt. 2.” Arguably her biggest joint track of the year was “Put It On Da Floor Again” with Cardi B. Her most recent arrival, “The Grinch Freestyle” in tandem with Luh Tyler, is helping to set the holiday spirit.

Before we move into 2024, hip-hop heads have made a special request for Latto – one she’s not taking so kindly to. “@latto, girl, we love you, but you need to stop doing collabs with these unknown artists,” one Twitter fan account wrote to the blonde beauty earlier this week. “Enough is enough, as fans we want to see you win and this will get you nowhere. A Latto feature is losing its value. No more BabyDrills, Luh Tylers…” they added.

“Y’all be getting besides y’all self,” the “Wheelie” hitmaker wrote after she saw the OP. “Shawty from the South side and she hard [as f**k, I don’t care] about [all of that],” Latto went on, seemingly sticking up for Anycia, who she has a track with coming soon. “I was an ‘unknown artist’ before and mfs acted too big for me. Stream when we drop 🤓.”

As she moves into her 25th year of life, Latto is feeling more confident and secure in her skin than ever before. This was especially evident at her recent birthday party, where she boldly showed off her moves on the stripper pole. Check out videos from that at the link below, and tap back in with HNHH later for more music/pop culture news updates.

Travis Barker’s Kids Alabama & Landon Get $150K G-Wagons From Rockstar Dad For Christmas

We all wish we could give our loved ones the finest of everything come Christmastime, but unfortunately, only the top 1% seem able to give out luxurious gifts to others in their life with ease these days. People like Travis Barker, who have spent decades in the spotlight, are pros at doing it big at this point. Seeing as his teenage daughter, Alabama, celebrates her birthday on December 24th, the rocker has had no choice but to become an expert gift giver, making sure his princess feels every bit as special as she deserves.

As Page Six reports, the heavily tattooed artist went all out for Alabama’s 18th. On her Instagram Story she excitedly showed off her brand new Mercedes Benz G-Wagon from Travis, as well as the matching whip her older brother, Landon, got. Like many other American families, the Barkers were glad in festive pyjamas while running outside to check out their presents. The $150K vehicle was definitely the biggest treat the blonde beauty got, but it wasn’t the only noteworthy flex she posted online.

To carry all her must-haves from the family mansion to her SUV, Travis and his wife, Kourtney Kardashian, surprised the young socialite with a Hermes purse. “Your girl got her first Birkin,” Alabama bragged on her Story, showing off the ivory-coloured bag that comes with a minimum $24K price tag. Elsewhere, Kris Jenner gave her extended family member a $4K watch from Cartier, and her step-mom came through with a stunning diamond necklace.

Travis Barker has done plenty to prove he’s a great father this year, from supporting Kardashian through her fetal surgery before the Poosh founder gave birth to their son, Rocky. Of course, we haven’t forgotten about his musical skills either. Most recently, the Blink-182 star impressed us with his cover of Gunna’s “fukumean,” which you can revisit at the link below.

Halle Bailey & DDG Bake Cookies, Her Behaviour Furthers Newborn Theories: Video

Whether Halle Bailey and DDG have a newborn to care for or not, they’re certainly feeling the festive spirit this Christmas. Ahead of the annual holiday, the YouTuber was talking about how “amazing” life is on his Twitter, meanwhile, his girlfriend has been notably shielding her stomach from public view, but still stepping out and enjoying life. At this point, Bailey is well aware of the rumours surrounding her and her uterus since the summer, though she continues to avoid addressing them. Instead, The Little Mermaid actress is letting her body do the talking as she bakes holiday cookies with her man.

In the video below, Bailey struggles to get up from the table where she and DDG are cutting gingerbread into shapes. Her slow movements, grunt, and grip on the black surface are just a few clues social media sleuths are using to back up their theory she just game birth. Others include the size of the Atlanta native’s chest, and her hands, according to eagle-eyed viewers.

Beyonce taught her well, I f**k with it,” one person wrote in @theshaderoom’s comments. The mother of three somehow manages to be everywhere and nowhere all at once, especially keeping her family life as far away from the spotlight as possible. Seeing as the “Halo” hitmaker has long been a mentor to Halle and her sister, it wouldn’t be surprising for her to follow in Bey’s footsteps by setting boundaries with fans.

Social Media Shares Their Theories

“You can tell she just delivered,” another IG user chimed in. “You can tell she’s breastfeeding. I think she’s smart for keeping it secret. Everything ain’t for the internet, cause them we will be all over them like… When y’all getting married. If they keep things private, they can run their own race. I’m gone stay over here and mind my business.” Do you think Halle Bailey and DDG are quietly celebrating their first Christmas as a family of three?

50 Cent & Taraji P. Henson TV Project May Be Cooking As New Yorker Says He’s “Ready To Work”

As Diddy’s fall from grace continues to unfold, 50 Cent is solidifying his status as something of a superhero in the entertainment industry. Not only has the “Candy Shop” hitmaker promised he’ll donate proceeds from his documentary exposing Sean Combs’ troubling past to victims of sexual assault, but he’s now also stepping up to ensure Taraji P. Henson stays booked and busy after her emotional revelation about being a Black female actress in 2023.

Just a few weeks ago, the beloved starlet sat down with Gayle King and other entertainers, at which time Henson spoke candidly about suffering from exhaustion, even at this point in her career. “I’m tired of working so hard, being gracious at what I do [and] getting paid a fraction of the cost. I’m tired of hearing my sisters say the same thing over and over. You get tired. I hear people go, ‘You work a lot.’ I have to. The math ain’t mathing,” the Washington, D.C. native vented to the journalist. More recently, Taraji told the SAG-AFTRA Foundation about deciding to fire her whole team for failing to capitalize on the success of her Empire character.

“Where is my deal? Where’s my commercial? Cookie was at the top of the fashion game. Where is my endorsement? They had nothing set up,” the 53-year-old explained, also noting a spin-off series centred around her that never came to fruition. Thankfully, 50 Cent is making it clear that he wants to see Henson win, and get the money she deserves. “🤦‍♂️They dropped the ball, f**k em @tarajiphenson,” he wrote in an Instagram post on Tuesday (December 26). “I’m ready to work, let’s get it! GLG 🚦GreenLightGang 💣 G-Unit Film & TV.”

Taraji P. Henson’s brave decision to speak out about inequality in the industry seems to be sparking a movement in Hollywood. Keke Palmer followed suit while supporting The Color Purple actress, sharing that she takes on multiple side hustles because she has to, not always because she wants to. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more updates on 50 Cent and your other favourite rappers.
