Halle Bailey Recalls Sweet Moment Chloe Learned She Was Pregnant: Watch

by

After months of relentless pregnancy rumors, Halle Bailey and her partner DDG welcomed their first child Halo in December of last year. Ever since the Little Mermaid star has provided fans with details about her pregnancy, which she kept a secret until the very end. During a recent Instagram Live, for example, she recalled the first person she told about the pregnancy. According to her, it was her sister Chloe.

Of course, the news came as a major surprise to the “Body Do” performer, who couldn’t believe it at first. “I think you was like, ‘No, no way,’” Halle told Chloe. “I think she didn’t believe me, she thought I was joking when I told her.” Eventually, Chloe realized that her sister was being serious, and was overjoyed immediately.

Lil Yachty & KARRAHBOOO Won’t Stop Trading Shots On Social Media

by

The Concrete Boys collective is going through a pretty nasty crash-out right now thanks to group members Lil Yachty and KARRAHBOOO. What started as the latter’s sudden exit from the group under seemingly neutral circumstances devolved into both rappers accusing each other of toxic behavior. While this impacts the group as a whole, it really seems to be a battle between these two players alone at press time. Hopefully it resolves and things don’t spiral out even further. But it seems like they won’t reconcile anytime soon, as they’re still going back and forth at each other after the Let’s Start Here. artist wrote the following on his Instagram Story recently: “don’t throw rocks and hide your hand.”

“i’ll never forget this feeling,” KARRAHBOOO responded to Lil Yachty via an IG Story rant. “This chapter of my life, i’ll never be the same, i’ll never forget who wasn’t there for me. I done chomped people out/spent my last/slapped folks 4 n***as, i ride every time naturally but that’s just how i am. Nobody owe me s**t tbh im just taking a mental note.

“i never threw rocks and u have my number u big grown b^itch leave me alone literally @lilyachty,” she concluded. “i never said nothing about s**t and i still ain’t said nothing bout what’s really going on. i don’t want no beef wit you industry people. just move on wit ur life stop tryna bring me down when i stay out the way. im done talking u got it yo character gone speak for itself.” Hopefully Lil Yachty and KARRAHBOOO settle this in private and move on with their careers without this headache.

DJ Akademiks Doubles Down On Rumor That NBA YoungBoy Made $100 Million Last Year

by

NBA YoungBoy is currently dealing with at least a couple of pretty tough legal situations, but folks think he’s actually doing very well. Moreover, you may have heard that authorities hit him with another gun charge amid his guilty plea for a similar case, adding onto his struggles. However, various media outlets and commentators alleged a pretty big flip-side to the Baton Rouge rapper’s woes: he apparently made a hundred million dollars while on house arrest in 2023. While these numbers don’t have a full and unquestionable confirmation, DJ Akademiks became the most recent figure to claim these rumors are true and even explained why.

“When you’ve made a hundred million dollars – and yes, it is reported that NBA YoungBoy made a hundred million dollars in 2023,” DJ Akademiks began. “Now, I don’t know if y’all know this. But he made a hundred. Million. Dollars. I can tell you how it kind of breaks down. He sold part of his catalog, the small part he owned from Atlantic. He signed to… What was it, like, between a 40 or 60 million dollar deal with Capitol, and he did some other deal. Basically, it was a hundred million dollars. And trust me, yeah, it was a hundred. When a n***a make a hundred million dollars, house arrest… What y’all think house arrest looks like for a hundred million dollar n***a? Huh? Let me ask y’all. I won’t say nothing.”

DJ Akademiks Reinforces Reports About NBA YoungBoy’s 2023 House Arrest Earnings

In other YoungBoy news, his baby mama Jania Meshell recently had fans on the edge of their seats while revealing her pregnancy test results. She already has two children: one with YB and one with her current fiancée Dejounte Murray. She didn’t want to add another kid to her family, and you can tell based on her reaction to the results. No spoilers!

Meanwhile, YB might face ten years in prison over the federal gun charge he pleaded guilty to. There’s no telling where his career will go from here, but odds are that it will continue to be prolific. After all, it’s not like YoungBoy let anything stop him from dropping material so far. With so much alleged revenue and paydays under his belt, though, he might be set to take things slow and steady if he so wishes.

Uncle Luke Demands A Check From Many Female Rappers & Says He Paved The Way For Them

by

Uncle Luke dishes out hot takes on the current rap landscape every once in a while, but don’t forget that he’s one of hip-hop’s pioneers. Moreover, his work with 2 Live Crew influenced multiple generations of the art form with its lewd and explicit content, even setting legal precedents for lyrical standards and freedom of speech within the genre. Furthermore, it’s no wonder that the Miami artist sees his influence in the current brand of salacious and sexually liberated femcees (only one part of the wide spectrum of female rap). In fact, he recently name-dropped a few of them while asking for a check from multiple of them for paving the way for their superstar success, while dissing the boys in the process. A check is probably going too far, but is the 63-year-old that wrong in his assessment?

“Male rap is on some bulls**t right now,” Uncle Luke kicked his remarks off. “I’m sorry. The females are winning. They’re doing everything that I did. I’m still waiting for these girls to send me a f***ing check. I need a check from Ice Spice who turn her a** around. Dropping it like it’s hot and doo-doo browning. I need a check from her, I need a check from Sexyy Red. Nah, that Red’s my friend. My man Stan. Shouts out to Stan, Stan the man. I don’t need a check from him. That’s my dog, that’s his record company.

Uncle Luke Wants His Payday For Pioneering Part Of The Femcee Landscape

“All the f***ing girls,” Uncle Luke continued. “Megan Thee Stallion, anybody that’s running around shaking their a**es, talking about p***y and d**k on the record, y’all need to send me a check. Send me a check. Just stop by with the check and say, ‘Thank you, Uncle Luke, for fighting, going to the Supreme Court, allowing us to be able to say what we saying on the records, and we’re whooping these men’s a**es right now ’cause we doing our thing.’ That’s going to go viral.” At least he admitted this would be a nice little engagement farm.

Elsewhere, Uncle Luke recently spoke on his failed attempts to squash Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur’s fatal feud. “I remember when Tupac and Biggie had the beef going on,” he shared on Instagram Live. “Now, mind you, I tried to get in the middle of it and squash it. I kind of cooled it off, but it was a little too late. Outside people got involved. Man, I remember going to St. Louis doing a show with Biggie. I went on before him and by the time he got to the stage, them people were screaming ‘Tupac!’ They was singing Tupac songs. That is the most discouraging thing when you in a battle, when you in the heat of a battle on tour, that people would go to the stadium and don’t even wanna hear your songs.”

Nipsey Hussle Wax Figure Impresses Atlanta Fans At Invest Fest

by

In March 2019, Nipsey Hussle’s life was tragically cut short, but his legacy lives on. The West Coast icon continues to get the recognition he deserves for his contributions to hip-hop and more, most recently at Invest Fest in Atlanta. In a clip making its rounds online, a Nipsey Hussle wax figure is unveiled at the event, and the crowd goes wild.

Earn Your Leisure CEO Rashad Bilal teamed up with Microsoft and The Marathon, the late rapper’s clothing company, for the $100K Nipsey Hussle Business Grant. The grant went to one lucky entrepreneur to grow their business. Bilal chatted with REVOLT about the partnership last month. He revealed that it all stemmed from his interview with Nipsey’s brother, Blacc Sam. “When we were putting together the Invest Fest lineup, I definitely wanted The Marathon to be a part of it in some capacity,” he explained. “The first idea was to have The Marathon as a pop-up shop. But Sam wanted to do something more impactful than just have merch there.”

“So, I just thought we should have a pitch competition,” Bilal continued. “I proposed it to The Marathon team, and they liked it. After that, we spoke with Microsoft, and they also agreed to provide some funding for it. So that was helpful.” The Nipsey Hussle wax figure was created by Mr. Officials, who’s done wax figures of Takeoff, Lil Wayne, and more.

He was also one of the four finalists to join the pitch competition for the Nipsey Hussle Business Grant this weekend. According to him, it took nine months to complete. While the grant went to Divine Luminance Juices in the end, he said he still “[feels] like a winner” in a recent Instagram Story. What do you think of a Nipsey Hussle wax figure being unveiled at Invest Fest earlier this weekend? How does it look? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Drake Gets His Fans Riled Up With Loads Of New Music Teases On Instagram

by

Drake fans are still digesting his latest three-pack, but fortunately for them, it seems like they will satisfy their hunger for new music even more. Thanks to his recent IG Story post via his “plottttwistttttt” burner account, the OVO die-hards think that he will release even more material on his accounts very soon, regardless of whether they land on streaming. Moreover, the post shows a load of Mac file folders under the “ICEMAN” umbrella, which some folks think will lead to a new album related to this moniker. The folders’ titles hint at Nothing Was The Same cuts, Popcaan tracks, “Trophies” versions, listening party content, and OVO fest footage or recordings. No matter how you interpret them, these vaults point to a wide array of content that the 6ix God could gift to fans.

As such, this is very exciting for his supporters, especially as they continue to break down and debate over “Supersoak,” “No Face,” and “Circadian Rhythm.” Of course, a big part of this discussion is what Drake had to say for his many 2024 beef opponents. There are a lot of references to his enemies throughout these cuts; some ring more specific, whereas most of them are quite broad. It seems like the Toronto superstar is broadly and “subliminally” standing tall against his opps… But The Boogeyman might be right around the corner for another round.

Drake Sends OVO Fans Into A Frenzy By Teasing Heaps Of Possible Content

Furthermore, one of Drake’s biggest media allies, DJ Akademiks, recently claimed that – according to his sources – Kendrick Lamar is “loading up” for something, and is coming with new material very soon. But Ak thinks that this won’t have anything to do with their explosive battle, a sharp contrast to The Boy’s recent lyrical content through these “plottttwistttttt” drops. Whether or not this is true is a question for Father Time, and not the one featuring Sampha. Regardless, both fanbases will likely continue to feast this year, whether it’s the continuous success of “Not Like Us” or Drizzy’s deep-pocketed hard drive.

Still, not every new Drake release has been successful, lauded… Or even approved, according to some theorists. His long-awaited Benny The Butcher collab, “Buffalo Freestyle,” landed on the Black Soprano Family boss’ new EP, but disappeared from streaming services shortly after. The YouTube video got shut down due to a UMG copyright strike, so there’s definitely something going on behind the scenes that we’re not clear about. Nevertheless, there will probably be more to replace this removal, if this IG Story is anything to go by. But this overload doesn’t come without its pitfalls, ones that Aubrey will have to strategically navigate to prove his opposition wrong.

Pooh Shiesty’s Cardi B Crush May Have Formed Years Ago

by

Last week, Pooh Shiesty made headlines for a flirty comment he left for Cardi B during an Instagram Live. “I’m 5 mins away baby open the door,” he wrote simply. The femcee recently filed for divorce from her husband Offset after seven years together and is currently expecting their third child. It’s unclear whether or not Cardi is interested, but she’s yet to respond to the advance.

This isn’t the first time Pooh Shiesty has expressed interest in linking up with her, however. During an interview with Spotify’s “Rap Caviar,” for example, he listed her as a dream collaborator along with Lil Wayne. He went on to appear on Cigar Talk, where he once again said he wanted to collaborate. Sadly, it doesn’t look like this will happen anytime soon, as the rapper is currently behind bars.

Pooh Shiesty Shoots His Shot

Hopefully, Cardi will consider it when he gets out in a few years. While Pooh Shiesty’s flirty comment doesn’t exactly come as a surprise considering his past appreciation for Cardi B, it did seemingly prompt a response from her ex. Offset took to X as the message made its rounds online with a simple series of laughing emojis. This appears to suggest that he’s unbothered, though that’s unconfirmed. As for Cardi, she has a lot on her plate these days considering her pregnancy and pending divorce. Right now, for instance, she’s in the process of hunting for an apartment in New York.

She told fans on Instagram Live that she never liked living in Atlanta, despite her and her ex owning a home there. Cardi’s also working on her eagerly anticipated sophomore album, which does not yet have an official release date. What do you think of Pooh Shiesty shooting his shot with Cardi B last week? Are you surprised or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Jermaine Dupri Gets Absolutely Cooked For His Take On Kamala Harris’ Lack Of Action

by

Jermaine Dupri recently issued a hot take via Twitter about Kamala Harris’ perceived inefficiency as a political figure in the White House, and the replies were quite scathing. “Real quick, I want to talk about the DNC,” he began. “I feel like the DNC has been going amazing. But I also feel like tonight, Kamala Harris has a pretty difficult job, right? And it’s interesting because the Republican correspondent that’s been doing the round-up after the DNC has ended [every night], he asked the question that I kind of asked Kamala when we had our second meeting. You know, the fact that she’s in office right now, she’s in the White House right now.

“And the guy, he said, ‘What makes y’all believe that she’s going to get this stuff done if she becomes President if she’s already in the [White] House?’” Jermaine Dupri pondered. “And it’s a tricky question because I asked Kamala basically the same thing, right? In so many words. I asked her, as the Vice President, why they don’t let her talk when Biden seems like he needed someone to speak up for him. I thought that’s what the role of the Vice President was: to help the President.” Check out the criticisms of this take, as well as his full statement, in the Instagram post below.

Jermaine Dupri Wonders Whether Kamala Harris Can Be An Effective President, And Twitter Roasted Him For It

“Basically, she kind of let me know that her hands was tied,” Jermaine Dupri continued. “That they didn’t really allow her to be a voice like that in that space. And tonight, I want to see if she even touches on this. Because if she doesn’t touch on it, that’s the question that I feel like the people that have mixed decisions about voting for her, this is one of the questions.

“This is the top question that they have,” Jermaine Dupri concluded. “Like I said, this is what the Republicans are saying. They never heard the part about her hands being tied. If she says something about her hands being tied, it makes it look like the White House or the Democratic Party didn’t really want her to exceed. So she can’t really say her hands was tied. But she does have to step into that space. This is something I do believe.”
