DJ Akademiks says that Drake is working on a new music video, after dropping 100 gigabytes of content for fans earlier this month. That release featured behind-the-scenes videos and three new tracks. They included: “It’s Up,” featuring Young Thug and 21 Savage, “Blue Green Red,” and “Housekeeping Knows,” featuring Latto. Further details on the music video are unclear.

Lonzo Ball Finally Gives Chicago Bulls Fans Something To Cheer About
Lonzo Ball has been dealing with a debilitating knee injury for quite some time now. Overall, it is an injury that forced him to take an extended break from the game of basketball. We haven’t seen him on the court in over 900 days, which is truly sad when you stop and think about it. He has gone through multiple surgeries and even had to go and get a cartilage transplant done. It just goes to show that his injury was more than just a simple tweak.
Despite all of this, Ball has been working hard to get himself back in a position where he can be serviceable out on the basketball court. It’s been a long road, but it seems like he is finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. We know this because TMZ recently caught up with the Chicago Bulls star at the airport. The outlet asked him about his future and whether or not he will get to play this season. Luckily for Bulls fans, he gave an answer that is definitely going to inspire some hope.

He notes that he will be on the court soon, although he is not putting a date on it just yet. At this stage, fans would love to see him on the court by opening night, although that might be too ambitious right now. Either way, it does seem like we should be getting good news on Lonzo, very soon. If you are a Bulls fan, you have to feel at least a bit more excited about the season knowing Zo is returning. However, with DeMar DeRozan gone, there is no telling whether or not the team can be competitive.

Drake Trolls Chingy On Instagram Over His Old Lyrics
Drake and Chingy might be from pretty different hip-hop eras, but they also have a lot in common. They are both big fans of Sexyy Red, and they apparently feel the same way about playing basketball in front of girls. Moreover, the 6ix God randomly took to his Instagram Story on Sunday night (August 18) to troll the St. Louis native over his “One Call Away” lyrics from 2003. “The next day I’m with the fellas at the case playing ball / Here she come with her friends, they posted up on the wall / Now I’m showing off, trying to dunk, trying to dribble / Break fast threw the middle just to see her smile and giggle,” he rapped on the cut.
“Nah chingy I felt this,” Drake wrote to Chingy on his IG Story, paving the way for a back-handed compliment. “Like why do I play ball better when the tings aren’t watching? You really struck a chord with this one goated lyric. Also the fact you said tryna dribble like off that bar we know you were a** at ball. But your ting showed up and you started doing too much like this real af you are a guy for that bar.”

In other Drake Instagram news, a lot of folks are reading quite deeply into his Story posts and other activity as of late. Some recent snapshots, for example, made die-hards theorize as to what his next collaboration could be. Of course, the Toronto superstar knows exactly what he’s doing with these posts, and even if he’ll lay low for a while, he will still use social media to fuel excitement for his next move. It’s just the OVO way, although we doubt that he’s done for the year.
Meanwhile, a recent claim from DJ Akademiks made fans wonder what Drake will do concerning the press in the future. He apparently scrapped an idea for a press conference some time ago, and we all know of his contentious relationship with some media figures like Joe Budden and Elliott Wilson. Who knows whether we’ll see another OVO interview? All we know is that, with the ‘Gram, he can pretty much speak for himself whenever he wants.

Adidas Wins Class Action Lawsuit Involving Kanye West’s Antisemitic Comments & More
It appears that Adidas is coming out with a pretty major win in court. According to an exclusive piece from AllHipHop, the sneaker and apparel giant is avoiding potentially hefty lawsuit from company investors. This legal battle has been going on for over a year now and it stems Adidas not voicing the internal concerns about Kanye West to the public. The HRSA-ILA were the ones responsible for filing the suit and they felt that the German shoe company was specifically keeping Ye’s conduct under wraps from 2013-2018. Overall, Adidas won this lawsuit thanks to there not be enough solid evidence “showing misleading statements that could have swayed investor choices”.
“Certainly, that Ye allegedly engaged in such behavior while working with adidas is troubling. This Court does not condone what Ye allegedly did. But the question before this Court is not whether to admonish Ye or hold Adidas morally accountable for Ye’s conduct”, Judge Karin J. Immergut said. Later, she went on to question, “This Court is faced with a precise legal question: has [HRSA-ILA Funds] sufficiently pleaded facts showing that Adidas misled investors and thereby committed federal securities fraud? On the current record before this Court, the answer is no”.

Adidas Survives A Huge Lawsuit
The HRSA-ILA was a firm believer that Adidas knew about how ugly this partnership could have gone with Kanye West since 2013. If you remember, there were some truly odd and outlandish things that Ye did early on in his tenure with the three stripes. That included the Georgia MC having executives watch adult films at his Manhattan apartment and him drawing a sw***ka on a shoe during a meeting in Germany. Of course, things then spiraled further when he went on his various anti-Semitic rants in the 2020s.
What are your thoughts on Adidas winning its class action lawsuit involving Kanye West’s volatile behavior? Is this a surprising outcome to you, why or why not? 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 this ongoing headline surrounding Adidas and Kanye West.

50 Cent & Hurricane Chris Go Back & Forth Over Humor & Harmony Criticism
50 Cent has addressed the criticism Hurricane Chris directed his way regarding the lineup for his upcoming Humor & Harmony Festival in Louisiana. The “A Bay Bay” rapper argued 50 didn’t platform any local artists. 50 took to social media with a response on Sunday, which prompted more remarks from Chris
“Hurricane Flex boy ya sh*t is wack, the f*ck you think you @FredoBang [face with raised eye emoji] ya sh*t gets no play in my ride. LOL,” 50 wrote on X (formerly Twitter). In another post, he added: “oh no you not gonna play that 1 song you got, Bay Bay just went on stage wit Master P. LOL.” Chris eventually fired back in a video recorded in his car. “You big dummy, you just proved my point. You don’t know sh*t about the city,” he said, arguing his career is far bigger than just one hit song. He went on to call him a “culture vulture” who is using Louisiana for profit.

And y’all stupid, slow motherf*ckas so crazy that y’all gon’ let this n***a come down here and not show no love to Louisiana.”

Shedeur Sanders’ Latest NFL Mock Draft Ranking Has Football Fans Up In Arms
Shedeur Sanders is the son of Deion Sanders, and the starting quarterback for the Colorado Buffaloes. Overall, Shedeur was a sensation last season thanks to his play during the first four games of the year. However, as the season went on, it became apparent that the Buffaloes simply did not have the pieces to compete. Moreover, fans fell out of favor with Deion and his public comments about the other teams in the Pac-12. It was becoming too much, especially since the team’s results were not worthy of around-the-clock coverage.
Now, the Buffaloes are set to begin a new season and the expectations are elevated, especially with how much Deion has been hyping up his team. Additionally, it is a big season for Shedeur who is looking to show NFL scouts that he is a top-tier prospect for the league. In fact, in a new NFL Mock Draft, Shedeur Sanders was projected as the first overall pick, where he would be going to the New York Giants. In second is his teammate Travis Hunter, who plays offense and defense. This Mock Draft has him going to the New England Patriots.
Shedeur Sanders Number 1?
As you can see in the tweets down below, many NFL fans were completely up in arms over this ranking. Many felt as though it is simply undeserved and that Sanders hasn’t proven anything to deserve such a rating. After all, there are plenty of guys with better statistics and winning records who aren’t even close to being projected first overall. One has to wonder if Shedeur will be able to prove his haters wrong, or if they will ultimately be proven correct.
Football Fans React
Let us know what you think of this Mock Draft ranking, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that Shedeur Sanders is being ranked too highly here? Will he be a good QB in the NFL somewhere down the line? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the football world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite athletes and their exploits.
