Boosie Badazz Has Questions About Dwyane Wade’s Sexuality

by

Boosie Badazz and DJ Vlad’s VladTV platform are pretty much one and the same these days thanks to their many conversations together. Moreover, their most recent sit-down contained some interesting thoughts on Dwyane Wade’s controversial decision to start a nail care line. While this would just be any old business venture under normal circumstances, conventional machismo and the basketball star’s transgender daughter made people jump to conclusions and lash out in outright bigoted ways. That’s what Vlad pushed with this latest discussion, and what the Baton Rouge native had some curious thoughts on.

“I don’t even got to say nothing,” Boosie’s remarks on Dwyane Wade’s nail care line began. “The world is going to say it.” “I mean, look,” DJ Vlad posited. “You have a gay daughter. You can support your kids without having to go through all these extra steps, you know what I’m saying? Like, you can still love your kids and be supportive, you know what I mean? Without having to start a nail polish line and start wearing dresses along with them and wearing lipstick and… You know? Wear wigs and whatever else. Listen, your [daughter] is trans, let [her] be trans. That’s cool. But to have to start a nail polish line… Why? When you’re a superstar athlete in your day, you got all the money you need, still making money, I’m sure. Your wife is making money, like… What’s the point?”

“I think you know the answer,” Boosie responded. “I don’t know the answer!” Vlad replied. “Oh, you think that Dwyane is actually…?” “I don’t know,” the rapper expressed. “I mean… He part of the movement. I mean, I don’t like to say too much about those people because I don’t want that to be in my motherf***ing… When people think of me, they think of that.

“A lot of people do, but… I just, you know, he do what he do,” Boosie concluded. “He feel like that’s how he support his… It make me shake my head. Because, you know, I don’t like that, bro. When… I don’t know. He might be living through… I don’t know, I don’t know.”

Ice Spice And PartyNextDoor Link Up, Fans Speculate On Collaboration

by

Ice Spice performed at Terminal 5 in her hometown of New York City on August 7, the first of a two-night home stand at the venue during her Y2K! Tour. Producer Cash Cobain opened for her. However, he was not the only guest on the night. Fellow New Yorkers Sheff G & Sleepy Hallow, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, and Fivio Foreign also performed, turning the night into a celebration of the new New York. Additionally, R&B star PartyNextDoor made an appearance at the show. He sang a medley of his most popular songs, including “Break From Toronto.”

After the show, PartyNextDoor posted a picture of him and Ice Spice together backstage on Instagram. “Get it while it’s hot,” the caption reads. This led to fans speculating that the two of them have music on the way. The thought of the two of them collaborating led to an overwhelmingly negative reaction from PND fans. “Should’ve been Summer Walker instead,” reads the most liked comment on the post. “ABSOLUTELY NOT. She gon’ get party to start talking bout farts,” said a second user. “Coulda did a collab with ANYBODY else,” said a third Instagram user.

During a guest set at a PartyNextDoor show in Toronto earlier this month, Drake announced that the two of them were releasing a joint album towards the end of 2024. “When it gets a little chilly, PartyNextDoor and Drake album will be waiting right there for you,” he told the crowd to a raucous reception. Because of Drake’s prior announcement and the OVO signee performing at her concert, additional speculation arose about if Ice Spice is appearing on their album. Drake co-signed Ice earlier into her career, so it is possible.

For Ice Spice, the Y2K! Tour started in the beginning of July, before her album of the same name even released. You can read our review of the album here. Ice Spice’s shows in New York City are sold out, marking a very successful homecoming for the artist. We’ll see if anything more comes from the photo of the two or if it was nothing more than that.

Ne-Yo Receives The Key To The City Of Las Vegas During Residency Show

by

Ne-Yo was born in Camden, Arkansas, but after relocating, he soon became a proud representative of Las Vegas, Nevada, a place he continues to call home. Moreover, he’s been rocking Sin City as of late with his Human Love Rebellion residency, a concert series that set the stage for a very special honor in his career. Moreover, the city’s Mayor Carolyn Goodman surprised the “2 Million Secrets” singer at his Wednesday show (August 7) and honored him with the Key to the City. Not only that, but Goodman also declared that Vegas will celebrate Ne-Yo Day on August 7 from this year onward.

“Yours has extra jewels [compared] to the one we gave Usher two months ago. You’re homegrown, my dear man … Congratulations!” the mayor told Ne-Yo two songs into his set. Goodman also remarked on his prowess, talent, and success as a musician, as well as his philanthropic efforts that have supported Las Vegas. While the 44-year-old still catches salacious headlines these days, such as dating rumors between his ex-wife and Maino, his music and art continues to speak louder than these elements… for better or worse.

Ne-Yo Honored By Las Vegas Mayor: Watch

“Thank you,” Ne-Yo emotionally told the crowd chanting his name as he accepted the Key to the City in a leopard print get-up. “I don’t want to get emotional, I’m trying to be fly. I can’t cry in this suit. Thank you to our lovely mayor, thank you to the city of Las Vegas, thank you all for being here.” This follows more concerning and divisive stories surrounding this legacy and career. He recently faced accusations from a former partner alleging assault and child neglect, though this hasn’t resulted in any sort of conclusion or verdict at press time.

But we know that Ne-Yo is in a very different, polygamous state right now when it comes to his love life. While there are still plenty of unanswered questions, these controversies exist within an otherwise beloved and continually successful trek as an artist. We’ll see what happens next, but for now, we can celebrate his artistry and acknowledge the great things he’s done for the city of Las Vegas. There will be a time, place, and due process for all the rest.

Foolio Murder Suspect Allegedly Tried To Kill Him Previously

by

Late last month, police made four arrests in connection to Foolio’s murder. The rapper was shot at a Tampa Holiday Inn, where he was celebrating his 26th birthday, in June. Now, police are accusing one of the suspects of being involved in a previous attempt on Foolio’s life, dating back to October of 2023. At the time, Foolio was shot in the foot on his way to a gas station.

“It appears that the suspect or suspects were waiting for the victim and ambushed him,” the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office said at the time. Sean Gathright, one of the alleged gunmen, was found with a Glock 9MM pistol, a rifle, and nine spent rifle casings in his vehicle at the time of his arrest. Reportedly, the casings matched the ones from the October Foolio shooting, as well as a separate murder in May.

Sean Gathright Tied To October 2023 Foolio Shooting

Police accuse the five suspects of traveling to Jacksonville to carry out the attack. Gathright was charged with three counts of premeditated attempted murder in the first degree, two counts of murder in the first-degree premeditated with a firearm, and tampering with physical evidence. One of the other suspects, Isaiah Chance Jr., recently declared that he’ll be home soon. For obvious reasons, such as the high-quality surveillance footage released last month, social media users have their doubts. “I miss y’all and I miss the [world],” he wrote, “I’ll be home soon.” He’s facing two counts of first-degree murder premeditated with a firearm.

Police are still searching for their fifth and final suspect, Davion Murphy, who is at large. What do you think of Sean Gathright being accused of trying to kill Foolio back in October of 2023? Are you surprised or not? What about police making four arrests after the Jacksonville rapper’s murder?

Kamala Harris Reportedly Denies Kai Cenat’s Claims About Her Campaign

by

The U.S presidential election this year will be just as much about online clicks and cultural support as it is about voter ballots and the Electoral College. Moreover, both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris have to win over the States’ public favor come November, and they’re both apparently making strides in the worlds of pop culture, content creation, and streaming to do so. If you didn’t already know, Kai Cenat recently claimed that the Secret Service reached out to him to support Harris and collaborate with her campaign. While he said that he has no interest in involving himself with politics, a new report suggests that this is a bit of a misrepresentative story.

Furthermore, TMZ recently claimed to have spoken with an alleged source supposedly close to Kamala Harris’ campaign, who reportedly said that no one from her camp had reached out to Kai Cenat at the time of his claims. According to this supposed source, the Harris campaign hasn’t even considered linking up with the Twitch giant. Also, apparently Cenat was instead contacted by a third-party organization informally connected to the Democratic National Committee’s convention team. The convention takes place later this August in Chicago, but his involvement is not only unclear, but downright speculative at press time.

Kai Cenat’s Kamala Harris Rant

Not only that, but this TMZ report also claims that this third party’s conversations with Kai Cenat began before current president Joe Biden dropped out of the race in favor of Kamala Harris. Allegedly, no one from her campaign formed part of these supposed talks. But why are people so captivated by the notion of these two wildly different celebrities teaming up to do something together? Well, that’s because fellow popular streamer Adin Ross recently did a livestream with Harris’ opponent, Donald Trump.

As you can imagine, that stream lit up social media and resulted in some comical, bizarre, or otherwise controversial moments. But from what this report indicates, it seems like Kamala Harris isn’t looking to combat this with a one-to-one clap-back. Instead, maybe her campaign will look beyond Kai Cenat to other corners of pop culture, and Trump will most likely do the same. Still, we can’t help but wonder what Harris would get up to at the AMP house.

Foolio Murder Suspect Promises To “Be Home Soon” Despite Arrest

by

As fans and loved ones continue to mourn the tragic and untimely death of Foolio, investigators have made some progress, arresting four individuals accused of carrying out the murder. The Jacksonville rapper was shot at a Tampa Holiday Inn back in June, where he was celebrating his 26th birthday with friends.Sean Gathright, Isaiah Chance Jr., Alicia Andrews, and Rashad Murphy are currently in custody for their alleged involvement, and police are still searching for the fifth and final suspect.

Obviously, the people believed to have been involved in the shooting could be looking at some serious time behind bars. With that being said, however, one of them recently teased his return. Isaiah Chance Jr. took to his Instagram story today with an odd message to his followers.

Isaiah Chance Jr. Shares Strange Message On IG

“I miss y’all and I miss the [world],” he wrote. “I’ll be home soon.” It’s unclear whether or not there’s any truth to Chance Jr.’s claims, but Foolio’s fans think it’s unlikely. After all, he’s facing a first-degree murder charge, and authorities have high-quality surveillance footage of the shooting. This is far from the only bizarre social media activity fans have seen since Foolio’s passing, however. Immediately after his death was confirmed, his Instagram account began posting cryptic messages, leaving supporters confused.

The late rapper’s mother, Sandrikas Mays, has since taken over the account. “I’m running his account now,” she told SayCheeseTV earlier this month. “Before, somebody had his password or whatever and I’m just able to retrieve it from his phone. Before, I wasn’t running his account. But as of right now, you can see the different stuff on there now, me posting songs. Now, I am running the account.” What do you think of Foolio’s alleged killer claiming he’ll be home soon? Are you surprised?

Yung Miami Breaks Down Over Diddy Allegations On “Caresha Please”

by

It goes without saying that Diddy is in a world of legal trouble, as the Bad Boy Records founder is currently facing various lawsuits accusing him of sexual misconduct and more. He’s also at the center of a federal human trafficking investigation, which prompted raids of his mansions earlier this year. Amid all of this, fans have been particularly eager to hear Yung Miami weigh in. The City Girls performer was in a non-exclusive relationship with Diddy prior to his legal saga, though they haven’t been seen together since.

She’s stayed quiet about the debacle for months, but will finally address it in an upcoming episode of Caresha Please. Yung Miami teased the beloved podcast’s return on Instagram today, sharing a preview of what’s to come. In the clip, Saucy Santana asks her directly why she’s yet to talk about Diddy’s legal issues.

Yung Miami’s Podcast Caresha Please Returns

“I ain’t bring us this far to go backward,” she said tearfully.

While fans are certainly looking forward to hearing what she has to say, the return of Caresha Please isn’t the only exciting project she has on the way.

Yung Miami also took to social media late last month to tease a new solo track, which does not yet have a title or release date. What do you think of Yung Miami finally breaking her silence on Diddy’s legal issues in an upcoming episode of Caresha Please? Are you looking forward to hearing what she has to say when it premieres tonight? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

ScarLip’s Boyfriend Criticized For Saying She Only Looks Pretty “Sometimes”

by

Emerging Bronx rapper ScarLip is facing calls from her fans to break up with her boyfriend after a recent Instagram Live stream. The rapper, 23, asked her boyfriend if he thought she was pretty. “You’re beautiful,” he said, before adding “sometimes.”

ScarLip’s facial expression immediately changed as she asked, “What that mean?” He then answers, “It means sometimes, sometimes you pretty…” She asked if she looked pretty at the time. “No, not right now. Definitely not right now. Definitely not, you lookin’ a little…” He decided against finishing the thought, but not before Scar looked embarrassed by what her boyfriend said. After a long pause, Scar decided to end the livestream. “I’mma get out of here, ya’ll. I don’t feel like going live no more.” She asked again if he thought she looked pretty, and he doubled down on “sometimes.” At that point, she ended the stream.

Social Media Criticizes ScarLip’s Boyfriend For Insensitive Response

Fans admonished ScarLip’s boyfriend for making those comments, with the most-liked replies pointing to the fact that she was live and that she has pre-existing insecurities. Some called for the two to break up. She took to X to defend her relationship, saying that they were “growing strong.” When ScarLip was younger, people bullied her for having darker skin. She continues to experience colorism’s effects in her music career. “People telling me I’m not pretty, and that bothers me a little bit. ‘Cause I believe I’m beautiful,” said Scar earlier this year on a different Instagram live stream. “You want me to feel bad about me or something? To tell me those things. I’m Black. Yes, I sure am Black. Actually, very Black. But that doesn’t take away my beauty.”

Professionally, ScarLip has had a strong year. XXL chose her to be part of their 2024 Freshman Class. She’s released several tracks. A song of hers appeared on the soundtrack for Bad Boys: Ride or Die. The Swizz Beats protégé should be happy with how her career is developing. Hopefully, she has a similarly positive development in her personal relationship.
