Doja Cat & Joseph Quinn Get Lovey-Dovey In London Amid Dating Rumors

by

Things seem to be coming full circle for Doja Cat and Joseph Quinn as these two continue to fuel dating rumors. About two years ago, the Scarlet MC had the hots for Stranger Things 4 cast member, Joseph Quinn. While unbeknownst to him, The London, England actor was capturing the hearts of fans instead as Eddie Munson in his one and only season on the show. However, co-star Noah Schnapp tossed Doja Cat the alley-oop by passing the message on to Quinn. Sadly, things never came to be for them, as the rapper and singer went on to match up with J. Cyrus. A lot of her supporters have not been in love with their relationship, as the Twitch streamer has been accused of emotional abuse of his team.

Now, that relationship seems to be in the rearview mirror because Doja and Joseph have been linked once again. A couple of days ago, multiple reports from across the pond came through that they were spotted throughout London together. They attended an Osees concert at Dingwalls in Camden and were getting very touchy-feely. Then, another outlet says they saw them at a local pub in London getting a drink.

These two have not confirmed anything just yet, but it’s hard to imagine that these two aren’t an official item now. Fans seem to be believing it now too and it’s safe to say they are excited for Doja.

50 Cent Can’t Believe His Eyes After Diddy Gets Sued By Alleged Cartel Member

by

50 Cent shared a story from NewsNation on Instagram on Monday that claimed a drug cartel member sued Diddy after he allegedly refused to traffic minors. According to the outlet, Alfredo P. Gonzalez, a self-proclaimed member of the Sinaloa drug cartel, attempted to sue Diddy and Bad Boy Entertainment for allegedly tarnishing his reputation with his New York-based drug business contacts. He sought $666,000 in damages but Chief U.S. District Judge Laura Taylor Swain abruptly dismissed the case.

“Ok, I have seen it all WTF is going on here,” 50 captioned a screenshot of the headline. In the comments section, fans joked about 50’s deep hatered for Diddy. “50 hate on almost every black man that has more money than him (mayweather, jay-z, diddy, rick Ross) jealous fella,” one top response reads. Another user reacted to the lawsuit with confusion. “Can they actually sue if it’s illegal? And ain’t that them snitching on themselves? I’m confused,” they said.

WASHINGTON, DC – JUNE 05: Recording artist Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson (R) and his lawyer Ben Crump head into the offices of Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) at the U.S. Capitol while advocating for Black entrepreneurship on June 05, 2024, in Washington, DC.

As for Swain’s ruling on Gonzalez’s case, the judge argued it lacked basic legal standing as the injuries stemmed from illegal activities and are thus not protected by law. Additionally, she found the claims not to be believable, lacking “an arguable basis either in law or in fact.” She even denied his request to amend the lawsuit, arguing it was already too far gone.

Blueface Explains Where He Stands With Chrisean Rock Amid Jail Stints

Blueface recently gave fans his first update from prison and broke his silence on a lot of important matters. For one, he let fans know when exactly he thinks he will finish his sentence, and it looks like it might be a lot sooner than some folks believed. “So I got sentenced to four years,” the California rapper during an exclusive phone interview with DJ Hed and Gina Views on the Effective Immediately program. “I got a year’s credit, so that goes down to three years, and I gotta do 33 percent of that … [so I’ll be home] probably like March, April [2025].”

Elsewhere, Blueface also revealed where he and Chrisean Rock stand. “I don’t know, that’s a tough one,” he remarked when asked whether they would produce a third season of their reality TV show, Crazy In Love. “Me and Rock, we vibing right now, but you know. When that fitness get involved, you know it might get a little weary.” As far as their relationship, Blue says that they “stay on a three-way,” are still speaking, and that Rock will be out of jail soon in her drug case (which still doesn’t have a verdict or sentence). However, he also explained that he hasn’t been able to keep up with their child Chrisean Jr. as a result of both of their legal situations.

In addition, Blueface detailed a typical day in jail for him. “I be jacking off, watching TV, eating Doritos and using the phone,” he said in lewd fashion. “That’s pretty much it […] They only got like 12 channels. I’ve been watching a lot of the news, the Sherri show and The Jennifer Hudson Show. I’m chilling, man. I’m in my environment. It’s like a little break from responsibility. I’m like 180 [pounds] right now; I’ve never been 180 before. I’m getting sized up, I’m about to bounce out looking like a dalmatian.”

Meanwhile, Blueface’s father updated fans on Chrisean Jr.’s status amid his father and Chrisean Rock’s troubles. “Free Blue Free Chrisean,” he expressed on social media. “Got a chance to speak with jr. the other day he miss his mom, dad, & grandpa. Y’all are going to very surprise with his progression that he has made when he pops back on the scene.”

August Alsina Responds To Akbar V’s Homophobic Rant

by

August Alsina has been trending on the internet lately thanks to his conversation with Nick Cannon and his panel on Counsel Culture. One of the interviewers asked the R&B artist about his “love for another man” and how “opening [his] heart” has helped him with that. While answering the question, the New Orleans, Louisiana native said that God essentially aided him in seeing the light, so to speak. “I always say that the greatest gift that God could have ever given me was exposure. To expose me to so many different kinds of people, places, things”. This ruffled the feathers of reality TV star Akbar V who is a very firm believer and follower of what the Bible says.

She went on several rants about August Alsina yesterday and she essentially called him out for lying that God would help him discover his homosexuality. “He gives us a choice… How did God do this and he says it’s a sin? So does that mean God is a liar?”, she angrily asked. Later, she would go on to question who this God is for August because “it’s only one true living God”. She did also clarify at one point that she’s not against him nor judging his love for another male. V is more so irked by how he came to this realization. “This is not to down August Alsina. I’m not against my brother; I’m basically saying God hasn’t told him that because God doesn’t like sin… and if we are sinning, God is not a God who promotes sin then tells us not to sin… I am praying for my brother and hope one day he finds the truth about the true living God”.

After all of this he is now clapping back and in a slick way may we add. According to a repost from The Shade Room, Alsina was promoting his new fragrance called “Evolutionary”. While talking about his product he says it has some unique powers. To be exact it’s a “repellent to negative energy”. He even says its “really become an aromatherapy to me somehow”. Additionally, his caption surely had Akbar V’s name written all over it as well. “M E S S A G E 🗒 !! .. there’s a lot more that could be said, but I don’t want to interrupt the Grace of God over life that speaks the loudest. Stay well! ❤️‍🩹”. All of this back-and-forth has had a lot of people debating and we are sure it’s going to continue at least for another day or two.

What are your thoughts on August Alsina’s supposed response to Akbar V calling him out? Whose side are you in this back-and-forth, and why? Who crossed the line more? Do you foresee this continuing for the rest of the week? 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 August Alsina and Akbar V.

Lil Yachty Sends Drake Fans Into A Frenzy By Unfollowing Him On IG

by

It seems like fans will spend “Another Late Night” theorizing and speculating as to who Drake is beefing with next. Moreover, some eagle-eyed fans on social media recently noticed that Lil Yachty seemed to unfollow him on Instagram. This shocked a lot of admirers thanks to the duo’s strong collaborative and personal relationship prior to this, as well as the fact that they engaged with each other online as much as in person. Furthermore, OVO and Concrete supporters immediately got into detective mode, speculating that the supposed upcoming release of Drizzy’s “Supersoak” has something to do with it.

If you didn’t already know, DJ Akademiks previewed a clip of the music video for this song, which originally featured Lil Yachty. In fact, it was Yachty who leaked the original collab version of the song to Kai Cenat for him to play it on his livestream. This was because they couldn’t clear the sample, as the sampled artist Mr. Hotspot’s religious views prompted him to demand a clean version of the team-up. With this new development in mind, many speculate that Mr. Hotspot is mad at Yachty for revealing all this on a podcast, and told the 6ix God that he could drop it if he removed his partner.

Lil Yachty Seemingly Unfollows Drake

Of course, that’s just an unfounded theory, and so will any others before one of them actually speaks out about it. Still, we’re not even inclined to believe that this indicates a rift between the two, as it could just as easily be a promo tactic. Nevertheless, it’s not like Drake and Lil Yachty’s relationship has all been peaches and cream. For example, the latter’s thoughts on the former’s beef with Kendrick Lamar resulted in considerable uproar from the Toronto superstar’s die-hards.

Regardless, we’ll see if Drake and Lil Yachty speak on this at any point. It’s not like every fan loved this collab, but fans worry about this partnership fading. After all, they picked a pretty contentious and controversial moment to stir even more rumors about who is or isn’t beefing. Are they bamboozling us just to troll or is there something deeper going on?

DJ Akademiks Argues Kendrick Lamar & J Cole Never Had A “Stimulus Package” Like Drake

by

DJ Akademiks may have already admitted that the so-called “Drake stimulus package” isn’t what it once was, but regardless, he recently argued no other artist had one to begin with. Addressing the topic on a new stream, Akademiks claimed neither Kendrick Lamar nor J Cole could ever guarantee an artist’s song would hit the charts.

“I’ll say that the Drake stimulus package is not the same at this moment, but here’s why I say it’s not the same,” he began. “Let’s be clear. Kendrick does not have a stimulus package. J Cole does not have a stimulus package. These other guys don’t have a stimulus package where they just hop on any song and it automatically charts. That was only allotted to Drake.” From there, he explained how criticism of Drake is similar to that of LeBron James. “When we talk about LeBron, we don’t use the same criticism for KD because we’re like, ‘KD’s not compared to Michael. LeBron, you are. So, we’re gonna use this unrealistic expectation for you because you’re compared to the greatest that’s ever lived.’”

It’s not the first time Akademiks’ has spoken on the stimulus package not being what it once was. During a stream in July, following the release of Drake’s collaboration with Camila Cabello, he remarked: “Drake’s wings, slightly, feel clipped. The Drake Stimulus Package right now, doesn’t exist. Drake going on Camila Cabello’s track didn’t do nothing.” Fans brought up this change in tone on social media in the wake of his more recent remarks. “But he is also the one that said and I quote the Drake stimulus package wasn’t working,” one user wrote.

“Lion King” Director Defends Blue Ivy From Nepo Baby Criticisms

by

Blue Ivy Carter is getting her due flowers for her growing portfolio, especially with one of her biggest projects yet on the way. Moreover, you probably already heard that Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s daughter will make her acting debut in Mufasa: The Lion King this December. While many folks out there might assume that this was the result of some nepo baby shenanigans, the movie’s director Barry Jenkins reiterated that it’s about much more than that. In an interview with Entertainment Tonight published on August 12, he elaborated on why they picked her for the role of Kiara (Nala and Simba’s daughter).

“She did a wonderful job bringing this character Kiara to life,” Barry Jenkins remarked concerning Blue Ivy. “I’m really proud of her, really proud of the work she did. As we were thinking of who could play this character, I thought, ‘Oh, this is it. She’s the right age, the right vibe. Let’s test it out.’ She was just tremendous. There are some things she does in this film that are really emotional. She’s a thespian. [And the casting] had nothing to do with mom and dad. She was the right young woman for the job.”

Furthermore, it’s easy to see why Blue Ivy has been so successful in her media endeavors so far, as her mother Beyoncé also gave her much advice on dealing with public scrutiny and focusing beyond the haters. “One of [Blue Ivy’s] friends came back and showed her some negative comments and it was a great life lesson,” Tina Knowles recalled. “Because her mom basically said, ‘Listen, if you let this get you down, then they won. So you should go and work harder. And, you know, just work harder and get your skills together and go out there and blast it.’

“So it actually worked in [Blue Ivy’s] favor because she was only supposed to do it one time,” Tina Knowles continued. “But now her mom was, that mama bear was on to it. It was like, she was like, ‘You go out there and kill it,’ and she did. She just grew so much from that experience.”
