Lil Yachty Claims He’s Leaving The Internet Amid Backlash For Drake & NYC Fashion Comments

by

It’s been a tough week for Lil Yachty, and it looks like the Georgia-born artist has had enough. Yesterday, for example, he got ripped apart for a few comments he made about New York City’s fashion sense on his podcast. “As far as style goes, I don’t think it’s sh*t going on when it comes to New York fashion,” he said. “Y’all like Purple Label, Amiri…and y’all wear a lot of y’all homeboy’s brands. Y’all wear all y’all’s homie’s sh*t. I know, we can tell.”

Yachty then appeared on the Flagrant podcast, where he discussed Drake’s viral lyrical battle with Kendrick Lamar, and admitted that he regrets weighing in. “I talked to him and that sh*t didn’t bother him. As it shouldn’t, he’s the f*cking guy. If I had $700 million you couldn’t talk to me either,” he added of Drizzy. “I think people just hate on Drake because he’s the guy… It’s also because he f*cked everyone’s b*tch.

Lil Yachty Has Had Enough

Of course, these remarks also earned him a great deal of backlash too. Now, he’s taken to Instagram Live to announce that he’s done with the internet for the time being. According to him, he still has obligations related to his podcast, but won’t be posting otherwise. “I’m gone off this internet sh*t… Contracted to do this podcast sh*t unfortunately but I ain’t posting no more sh*t,” he said. “I’m deleting the apps off my phone, swear to God.”

According to him, he might be done for the entire remainder of the year, though it’s to be seen whether or not he’ll stick to this. What do you think of Lil Yachty receiving backlash online for his comments about Drake and NYC fashion? Is it warranted, or are social media users just overreacting? What about him announcing that he’s leaving the internet? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Megan Thee Stallion Teases Cinematic Music Video For “MEGAN” Cut “Mamushi”

by

Megan Thee Stallion’s rollout for her new album MEGAN isn’t over yet, and with a wild tour behind her, she’s got more goods to focus on now. Moreover, she recently teased a new music video for the Yuki Chiba-assisted album cut “Mamushi,” which recently became the project’s latest single. The track has been one of the record’s biggest so far, so it’s no surprise that it’s getting a little extra love through a visual treatment. We don’t know when this new music video should be coming out or what it should include, but based on the black and white imagery, this bilingual song should be paying homage to Japanese film in one way or another.

Elsewhere, folks are ignoring Megan Thee Stallion’s killer year in the face of her Kamala Harris endorsement, including some callouts from Lil Pump. “Nicki Manaj > Megan stallion,” he shared online. “Who tf performs at a kamal Harris rally. She’s an embarrassment to the culture. This is an embarrassment to our country. Kamal Harris should’ve booked killer mike for the rally instead of Megan estallian. Kamala Harris needs Megan the stallion shaking a** to have people show up to her rally. Donald Trump needs himself to have people show up to his rally. One person is powered by the people, the other is powered by the establishment. Trump 2024 [U.S. flag emoji].”

Megan Thee Stallion Teases “Mamushi” MV

Regardless of petty politics and put-downs, Megan Thee Stallion is also facing a lot of scrutiny for reignited conspiracy theories about the Tory Lanez shooting, which her former best friend Kelsey Nicole had to address once again on Twitter. “It’s easy to get lost in the media, but let’s remember MY NAME was cleared by both parties involved. Stay tuned,” she shared online.

Meanwhile, this isn’t the first time that Megan Thee Stallion teased the “Mamushi” video, so you should catch up on that if you’re excited for the visuals. We wonder whether other MEGAN cuts will also get the MV treatment or if they will remain underrated fan picks from the discog. Either way, we’ll see what else 2024 holds for the Houston femcee after an already staggering seven months.

Lil Uzi Vert & Kai Cenat Team Up For New Marc Jacobs Campaign

by

In June of this year, Lil Uzi Vert made headlines for their participation in a Marc Jacobs campaign. The performer posed with the brand’s 40th-anniversary bag in collaboration with Stephen Sprouse. Unfortunately, this resulted in a great deal of clowning online. Uzi’s never been one to hide their true colors after a bit of criticism, however.

In fact, new photos circulating online show them posing for even more photos for the brand, joined by a special guest. Kai Cenat is featured in the photos, rocking a fuzzy black jacket, leather pants, and a pair of white shades. As for Uzi, they sported a sleeveless rhinestone-studded dress, a small black handbag, and dark sunglasses.

Lil Uzi Vert & Kai Cenat Strike A Pose For Marc Jacobs

As expected, the photo has elicited mixed reactions from social media users. Most are here for the unexpected collaboration, however, and can’t wait to see more. The news arrives a few weeks after Cenat teased a possible stream with Lil Uzi Vert, though it’s unclear when exactly that could happen. With that being said, they look to have been spending more time together due to the campaign, so it might be closer than ever. “Uzi on stream is going to be f***ing insane,” Cenat told fans in June.

Cenat isn’t the only person Uzi’s commitment to fashion has rubbed off on, however. During a recent interview, their partner JT also opened up about how they influenced her style. “I remember him putting me in a whole outfit and I was going the f*ck off on him like, ‘Boy, I look like Batman and all type of sh*t,’” she explained. “He’s like, ‘This is how you’re gonna be dressed every day.’ And, I’m like, ‘Boy, there’s a time and a place.’” What do you think of Lil Uzi Vert and Kai Cenat teaming up for a new Marc Jacobs campaign? How are they looking in this latest photo? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Cardi B’s Tia Kemp-Inspired Offset Diss Track Exposed As AI Fabrication

by

Cardi B just dropped some major bombshells online, as news broke that she’s expecting a third child and that she filed for divorce from Offset. However, all this new info has also understandably resulted in a whole lot of misinformation, including a supposed diss track from her against the former Migo titled “Tia Kemp.” This is in reference to Rick Ross’ ex, who has a pretty nasty relationship with him online right now that continues to become even more contentious. Still, the Bardi Gang quickly figured out that this viral track is just a cheap A.I. attempt to fabricate a track centered around the divorce.

Furthermore, a lot of fans expressed surprise at the news of the divorce, but those select few probably weren’t very up to date with Cardi B and Offset. It’s been no secret that the two faced some bumps in the road as of late, especially in the public eye when it comes to cheating allegations against the Georgia rapper. But that being said, we don’t really know if these accusations were what caused the reported split, as other reports suggest that they reached an amicable agreement. Still, the Bronx femcee supposedly wants full custody of their two children, and other details about the split are unknown.

Cardi B’s Pregnancy Announcement

Elsewhere, here’s what Cardi B had to say about her pregnancy. “With every ending comes a new beginning!” she wrote in an Instagram post showing off her baby bump and presumably addressing the Offset divorce as well. “I am so grateful to have shared this season with you, you have brought me more love, more life and most of all renewed my power! Reminded me that I can have it all! You’ve reminded me that I never have to choose between life, love, and my passion!”

“I love you so much and can not wait for you to witness what you helped me accomplish, what you pushed me to do!” Cardi B concluded. “It’s so much easier taking life’s twists, turns and test laying down, but you, your brother and your sister have shown me why it’s worth it to push through!”

Simone Biles Wins Historic Sixth Olympic Gold Medal In Women’s All-Around Final

by

Today, Simone Biles made history, winning her sixth Olympic gold medal in the gymnastics all-around final. She’s now the first American gymnast to do so. She narrowly defeated Rebeca Andrade of Brazil, who finished silver, and her teammate Suni Lee who finished bronze. The 27-year-old is now the oldest Olympics all-around champion since Maria Gorokhovskaya, who secured the title in 1952. Biles is also the third woman in history to win multiple gold medals in the all-around.

Following a mistake on uneven bars, she put on impressive balance beam and floor performances. While this put her above both Lee and Andrade, Biles admits that the mishap shook her confidence. According to her, she was “praying to every single God out there trying to refocus and recenter myself because that’s not the bars that I had been training.”

Simone Biles Celebrates Her Win

“I’m not the best bar swinger like Suni or Kaylia, but I can still swing some bars,” Biles also added. “I don’t want to compete with Rebeca no more. I’m tired. Like, she’s way too close. I’ve never had an athlete that close.” She celebrated the exciting win by debuting a silver goat necklace, symbolizing her undeniable GOAT status.

“My GOAT necklace is just kind of an ode, because the people love it and some people hate it,” she explained. “So, it’s like the best of both worlds. I was like, ‘OK, if it goes well, we’ll wear the GOAT necklace.’ I know people will go crazy over it but at the end of the day it is crazy that I am in the conversation of ‘Greatest of all athletes’ because I just still think, ‘I’m Simone Biles from Spring, Texas who loves to flip.’” What do you think of Simone Biles making history with her latest win?

50 Cent Announces New TV Network With Lionsgate

by

50 Cent has one of the most expansive and rapidly growing media empires in hip-hop, and it seems like it got a big boost today. Moreover, the G-Unit mogul announced the launch of a new television network in partnership with Lionsgate, which should be a very exciting endeavor for him. “Excited to officially announce my brand new Live TV FAST Channel created in partnership with Lionsgate, 50 CENT ACTION,” he captioned a recent Instagram post. “Get ready for non-stop action, exclusive content, and your favorite movies and shows all for FREE! Sign up now to stay in the loop and get the latest updates. You won’t wanna miss this! Tap the link in bio for more info. Let’s get it! #50Cent #50Action #FreeTV 50CentAction.com.”

However, this comes amid a difficult and sad time for 50 Cent, as his grandfather Curtis Jackson Sr. recently passed away at 91. “You do know none of this s**t really matters, [winking emoji] we can’t take it with us,” he wrote of the loss. “I lost my Grandfather last night, now he can go everywhere with me. My old man is tuff act to follow, he sacrificed for all of us. He made me smile every time I saw him. The Last time he went to the hospital he was dehydrated so the nurse couldn’t find a vein. I came in, I said pop you alright? He said no, she stick me again and I’m a start shooting. LOL I almost fell out! South Side we out side WTF!”

50 Cent To Launch New TV Network

Elsewhere, though, 50 Cent has also reflected on his storied career recently, remarking on how he regrets certain rap beefs going too far for too long. “Look, I think we wasted too much time arguing,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “Me and Fat Joe, me and Cam’ron. There’s other guys like Jada [Jadakiss], we cleared it up easier. But we wasted time because it was just the competitive nature. It wasn’t like we crossed paths and had real heat for each other. It went on more with Joe because he’s more like me, he’s closer in character to me. When we’re at odds, we are at odds, and we did that for a long time. And because of his loyalty to Irv [Gotti] and Ja [Rule], because he worked with them, I was seeing him not be happy from the things that were making me happy.

“It’s easy for me to say, ‘F**k you’ if what makes me happy makes you unhappy,” 50 Cent concluded. “Then, we’re not on the same page and it turns into some s**t, and I couldn’t pinpoint what exactly happened. When you look back at it, you go, ‘Wait, what happened?’” 50 Cent concluded. “Because we didn’t even have no altercation or no specific thing that created it. Now he’s like my friend. I don’t care that he has relationships with people that I don’t. Because he’s always had those relationships.” Hopefully he doesn’t regret this new TV network.

Young Thug Trial: Mariah The Scientist Puts Her Loyalty On Display In Court

by

Young Thug hasn’t had a ton of luck as of late, as he continues to battle RICO charges in a highly publicized trial. Earlier this week, a judge denied his request for release on bond. “I am not going to reconsider any bond issues that have already been ruled on absent legitimate changed circumstances,” she declared.

The judge in question was Paige Reese Whitaker, who was assigned to the case last month after two other judge’s recusals. While the rapper may not be seeing an end to his long-winded legal battle anytime soon, he’s got at least one thing going for him, his relationship with Mariah The Scientist. The Atlanta-born songstress was recently spotted supporting him in court, wearing a smile as she looked on from her seat.

Mariah The Scientist Supports Young Thug In Court

Mariah has never shown any signs of straying from the relationship amid Young Thug’s incarceration. She opened up about her dedication in an interview last year, making it clear that she’s here to stay. “I feel like, and this is in all honesty, there is nobody on planet Earth that can get between me and supporting my man,” she told Access Atlanta. “I’m sorry, it’s just not gonna happen.”

Mariah has since been hard at work cheering Young Thug on from the outside. She’s also dealt with her own legal issues in recent months, however. In May, she was arrested for her alleged role in a brawl at a local club. She was later charged with simple battery and pleaded not guilty in July. Her lawyer Brian Steel also demanded a jury trial, and Mariah has maintained her innocence. What do you think of Mariah The Scientist continuing to support Young Thug amid his ongoing RICO trial? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Ice Spice Causes More Weight Loss Debate Among Fans Over Her Shrinking Waist

by

Ice Spice is the talk of the town on the Internet these days for all the right and wrong reasons, although they all inform each other to some degree. For example, while some folks are debating what they thought about her new album Y2K, others think that the heavy rollout for the project is indicating a more personal change in her life. Moreover, a lot of fans think that the Bronx femcee is rapidly losing weight, and her latest Instagram post showing off her tiny waist is yet another indicator of that for some users out there.

While plenty of people think she’s just hitting the gym or don’t really care whether or not she’s losing weight, others are more concerned with what they see as a very fast process or are unhappy with how folks are speaking on the matter so casually. Furthermore, Ice Spice hasn’t really directly addressed this conversation outright at press time, so we don’t think that she minds it too much or else we would’ve heard something by now. But at the end of the day, this is just a lot of social media gossip that should hopefully be moot in the face of whatever personal goals and lifestyle choices she has for herself either way.

Ice Spice’s Latest Debate-Sparking Snap

What’s more is that this isn’t even the most contentious part of Ice Spice’s public-facing persona right now, as Y2K got its fair share of hate from rap fans. Nevertheless, her opening tour show in Washington, D.C. seemed to be quite the packed and energetic affair, so we’re sure that this will drown out a lot of the negativity behind this album cycle. Also, we can’t rule out a critical reevaluation down the line, even if we doubt that would arrive anytime soon. At least it’s more understandable and less invasive to critique art rather than a waistline.

Meanwhile, Ice Spice has a lot of other narratives to address, like her recent comments on her at-arm’s-length-relationship with Nicki Minaj. In the weeks and months following Y2K, we’re sure we will get plenty of more reflections on this era and what her headspace is looking like. But maybe this fan speculation over supposed weight loss won’t be a part of those conversations. Perhaps it’s best for fans to just mind their own business before speculating on someone else’s.

Bobbi Althoff Reveals She Attempted Suicide At Age 14

by

It’s no secret that Bobbi Althoff has come a long way since The Really Good Podcast blew up. The internet personality has sat down with some major celebrities for interviews, like Shaq, YG, Jimmy Kimmel, and many more. Of course, her viral conversation with Drake is what kicked things off, and she hasn’t slowed down since.

Most recently, she chatted with NLE Choppa, and things got a lot more serious than one might expect. The 21-year-old performer is known for his raunchy lyrics and wild antics, but evidently, he’s also able to get deep when the situation calls for it. At one point in their discussion, Althoff revealed that she once attempted suicide when she was only 14 years old, prompting him to talk about some of his own past issues.

Bobbi Althoff & NLE Choppa Discuss Mental Health On The Really Good Podcast

“I tried to kill myself when I was 14,” she shared. NLE Choppa then revealed that he too has struggled with his mental health in the past. “I didn’t really give a f*ck about life at 14,” he said. “I think both is valid… I’m so glad you didn’t do that because look at you now.” Luckily, it appears as though Althoff is in a much better place these days, despite whatever obstacles might be thrown her way.

Since her rise to fame, for example, she’s been subject to nasty and unsubstantiated rumors that she sleeps with her podcast guests. She promptly shut these down last month, however, also addressing ongoing speculation about her divorce and family life. What do you think of Bobbi Althoff opening up about her struggles with mental health during a recent conversation with NLE Choppa? What about him sharing his own past issues?
