Summer Walker Receives Shady Response From London On Da Track After Absent Father Accusations
Over the weekend, the mother of one of London On Da Track’s children Eboni Ivori took to her Instagram Story to put him on blast. She shared various photos of sad-looking children, which were not hers, alongside various captions accusing the producer of being an absent father. “My lil girl waiting on her dad since last Christmas,” one read. “Another pic of my lil girl waiting for her dad on her birthday last year,” said another.
Summer Walker, who also has a daughter with London, took to The Shade Room‘s comments section yesterday to chime in. “Same,” she said simply alongside an eye-roll emoji. This appears to suggest that the two women have had similar experiences with him.

London On Da Track Responds To Summer Walker
London caught wind of Walker’s remark and decided to throw a bit of his own in response. “Which baby daddy u talking bout,” he wrote with a crying emoji. LVRD Pharoh, the man the songstress shares her twin sons with, took the opportunity to defend himself. “I got mines with me right this second 
” he wrote. “Leave the REAL FATHERS out of the internet sh*t [prayer emoji].”
Of course, Walker is no stranger to calling out London On Da Track. In 2022, she ranted about him on her Instagram Story, which she later deleted. “I literally have the worst bd on the face of the planet lol I can’t wait till I can just get some peace,” she said. What do you think of the mother of one of London On Da Track’s children, Eboni Ivori, putting him on blast for his alleged absence from their daughter’s life? What about Summer Walker joining in to claim she’s had a similar experience? Are you surprised by his response?

Justin & Hailey Bieber Attend Super Bowl LVIII
For most of her pregnancy, Hailey attempted to keep the situation under wraps. Speaking with W Magazine in July, she explained that she luckily didn’t grow too much, which made the decision easy. “I was honestly able to keep it quiet because I stayed small for a long time,” she said, “I didn’t have a belly, really, until I was six months pregnant, which was when I announced it. I was able to wear big jackets and stuff.” Regardless, she eventually did want the world to know.
Justin & Hailey Welcome Their First Child
As for any future children, Justin previously told Ellen DeGeneres in 2020 that he’s willing to have as many kids as Hailey is. “I’d love to have myself a little tribe,” he said at the time. “I am going to have as many as Hailey is wishing to push out—it’s her body and whatever she wants to do—I think she wants to have a few.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Justin and Hailey Bieber on HotNewHipHop.

Cam Newton’s Controversial Marriage Comments Spark Viral Discussion
Cam Newton discussed his feelings on marriage during a conversation with Dr. Cheyenne Bryant on his Funky Friday podcast which has been going viral on social media. In doing so, he revealed that he has eight children with three different women, but isn’t opposed to having more. “A lot of people see my situation and think that I’m not high functioning,” he told Bryant. From there, he explained his “desire to get married” is lower than his “fear of divorce,” which is causing him to take his time.
In response, Bryant disagreed, accusing him of actually being “very selectively active.” She argued: “You’re not taking your time, you’re being very action based. You’re not taking your time. You have eight kids with three different women. You are creating, procreating, and multiplying. That is not taking your time, you’re being very selectively active. You are proactively choosing where you want to be active at and where you want to take your time. You want to take your time in having a wife because of your own fears but you will…and I say this with all respect and love…you will selfishly create broken families.”

Cam Newton Speaks During Nightcap Summer Sessions
“Every child cannot have papa in the house with them,” Bryant continued. “Some child, if not all, will end up with some kind of deficit without daddy being there. Those are selfish acts at the expense of your fear. At what point do you feel the fear and do it anyway? That is a low functioning behavior to say ‘I’m going to build these houses and put kids and these beautiful women in them but I’m not going to create a home for them’.”
Cam Newton Discusses His Thoughts On Marriage
When The Shade Room shared Newton’s comments on Instagram, users were highly critical of the former NFL quarterback. “Call me crazy but I’d rather get married than have 8 kids by 3 different people,” one fan remarked. Another wrote: “It’s no men in the comments. That means she clocked it, correctly!!!!” Check out the discussion below. Be on the lookout for further updates on Cam Newton on HotNewHipHop.

Jessie Reyez & Lil Wayne Enjoy The Ride On Our New “R&B Season” Playlist Update: Stream
Our latest R&B Season playlist update might be a bit scant this week, but fortunately, the new tracks from the genre’s orbit this week are top tier. First up is an unexpected but welcome collaboration from Jessie Reyez and Lil Wayne, the gentle and indie-inspired “RIDIN.” Of course, this guitar-led and percussively steady instrumental contrasts quite markedly with Tunechi’s more lewd and playful lyrical content. Nevertheless, the passion and lust definitely comes through here, especially thanks to the Toronto singer’s tender vocals that charismatically reach higher registers as the track evolves. If you’re looking for a summery jam to close out the season soon, play this with the windows down.
Also on our R&B Season update is the funky and confidently boastful new single from Chxrry22, “Poppin Out (Mistakes).” The XO signee sounds self-assured on this cut, excitedly anticipating a fun night out after a long time away from her city. Moreover, the drums here are reminiscent of some 2000s Timbo or Neptunes worship, matched with rubbery bass, gorgeous vocal harmonies, and some very light and atmospheric background synth pads. While there isn’t much of a melodic anchor in the instrumentation, the Toronto star definitely makes up for it through her own runs and refrains.

HNHH R&B Season Playlist: Stream
Elsewhere, we have another genre-fusing R&B record with Eric Bellinger and Jastin Martin’s new collab, “Chase.” This time around, it mixes some familiar ’90s soul vocal melodies with the infectious New York drill bounce that has dominated the East Coast as of late. As expected, there’s not a standout synth or melodic riff to the beat itself, but the two vocalists take center stage. Their light and airy voices mix together really well for a chemistry-filled team-up, and we’re sure that if you’re a fan of these styles, this will be right up your alley.
Let us know what your favorite R&B Season cut was this week, as well as what else we missed, down there in the comments section. Also – as always – make sure to check back in with HNHH for the latest wavy music releases around the clock, be they from the rhythm and blues world or from your favorite hip-hop stars. You can find the latter group’s highlights this week by checking out our Fire Emoji playlist with the “Read More” link below.

Lizzo Flaunts Physical Transformation & Announces “Gap Year” During Getaway With SZA
It’s been an undoubtedly hectic few months for Lizzo, but it looks like these days, she’s doing better than ever. Over the weekend, the “Good As Hell” performer has been keeping her social media followers updated on her trip to Bali, which she’s enjoying alongside her good friend SZA. In one clip, shared on Instagram earlier today, she stands in the rain while looking over a balcony, surrounded by greenery. “I’m taking a gap year & protecting my peace [prayer emoji],” she captioned the post.
Fans certainly can’t blame Lizzo for wanting to take some time to relax. It’s far from the only thing she’s done for herself as of late, however. Earlier this month, the hitmaker took to Instagram to share a clip of herself working out at the gym, both before and after nailing a consistent routine.

Lizzo Hones In On Healing
The before and after video quickly went viral, as fans praised Lizzo for her determination. While it’s unclear exactly what Lizzo means by a gap year in this case, supporters are glad to see a pattern of her prioritizing self-care. Back in May, she opened up about struggling with her mental health, revealing that she was on a better path. “I’m the happiest I’ve been in 10 months,” she explained at the time. “The strange thing about depression is you don’t know you’re in it until you’re out of it. I’m definitely not all the way as carefree as I used to be.. But the dark cloud that followed me every day is finally clearing up. My smile reaches my eyes again and that’s a win. I thought my album was finished.. but I gotta get some of these good vibes off in a banger real quick. Thanks for your patience.”
What do you think of Lizzo announcing that plans to take a “gap year” to focus on her own wellbeing? What about her continuing to show off the impressive results of her fitness journey? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Nicki Minaj Hints At “Pink Friday 2” Deluxe Release Date While Hyping Up A Fan-Favorite From It
The Barbz can’t wait for Nicki Minaj’s third (yes, third) deluxe version of Pink Friday 2 ahead of the second leg of her world tour, which will comprise of various U.S. shows. For what it’s worth, you won’t find us complaining about new music from her, especially amid her massively successful tour. However, fans are salivating at the mouth for this Gag City Reloaded edition but might finally have an answer as to when it will come out. Moreover, the Trinidadian MC posted an Instagram update on her page confirming the inclusion of a fan-favorite track she had previewed before on social media, as well as hinting at a possible timeline for this new expanded edition’s release.
“#TheAnxietySong will be on my deluxe album,” Nicki Minaj captioned the video of her vibing out to the track “Anxiety.” “Coming real soon. PF2 #GagCityReloaded DELUXE ALBUM [pink bow emoji] we are now 10 DAYS away #GagCityPHILLY [pink bow emoji]. How many songs do you want added to the DELUXE ALBUM?” The “ten days” in question refer to the tour’s second leg kicking off in Philadelphia on September 4, with support from BIA and Skillibeng. Tyga will also join in on the fun starting on the Washington DC stop in Madison Square Garden on September 9, per the trek’s website.

Nicki Minaj Issues Potentially Massive Pink Friday 2 Deluxe Update
Furthermore, Nicki Minaj had also announced that she will perform an updated setlist including Gag City Reloaded cuts with new wardrobe to boot. Still, she also has a lot of other big narratives to deal with, many of which remain quite murky. For example, there’s the 41-year-old’s alleged beef with Ice Spice, one that she seemed to speak on during a recent social media rant. It drew mixed reactions, but there’s nothing concrete enough to really make a final judgement call on.
Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj might also have to fight a former Barb in court after facing a slander awsuit from a fan she allegedly mistreated in various instances. Still, she reportedly has a countersuit ready to go. As such, we’ll see if any of these issues take center stage during this tour leg, or on Pink Friday 2‘s Gag City Reloaded. Be patient, Barbz… It’s almost here!

Drake & J Cole Stock Up On “Born Sinner” CDs In Old Clip From Drizzy’s “100 GIGS” Website
Fans aren’t really clear on whether or not J. Cole and Drake are still cool with each other after the Kendrick Lamar battle this year. However, a new batch of footage that the latter released on his “100 GIGS” website suggests that it’s all still love. Moreover, he included an old video that many fans might recognize, showing the “First Person Shooter” duo buying a lot of Cole’s Born Sinner CDs at a New York Best Buy back when it dropped in 2013. Along with some other commonly accessible footage, some fans cheekily wonder why the 6ix God is sharing this stuff from the vault when a quick YouTube search is just as effective. To make matters even more ironic, the video is literally on Cole’s page.
Nevertheless, that’s a nit-picky and irrelevant argument to make if you want to add that to your Drake hater resumé. Jokes aside, another example of this is his inclusion of a classic clip of Kanye West at OVO Fest 2013. In the video, Ye credits the Toronto superstar for inspiring him and Jay-Z to make Watch The Throne together after the “pressure” that he was putting on them and the rap game at the time.

Drake & J. Cole Go On A CD Shopping Spree
(@nojumper)Elsewhere, though, it seems like J. Cole might continue to be a “MIDDLE CHILD” when it comes to Drake, a situation he found himself in during March and April of this year. Many fans clowned the Dreamville MC’s decision to retract his Kendrick Lamar disss, thus placing him in between of two warring colleagues. But at the end of the day, it’s probably the most humanistic, honest, and respectable moment to emerge out of this entire saga. Regardless, the reason why he might be stuck between two worlds again is not only because of his feature on Future and Metro Boomin’s WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU, but because of a supposed collab with A$AP Rocky that will land on the Harlem creative’s next album.
Meanwhile, all these new Drake drops (and shots at his opps) sharply contrast his rival Kendrick Lamar’s silence these days. He might release something soon according to a couple of unverifiable sources, but you’ve been hearing that all year, if not all decade. At least that whole situation didn’t seem to impact Drizzy and J. Cole’s bond, if this re-uploaded Best Buy video is any indication. But some fans will not stop their speculations until their relationship is as clear as day.
