Jay Electronica Passionately Backs JAY-Z Amid Onslaught Of Super Bowl Criticism

by

JAY-Z and Kendrick Lamar are not the most likable people right now. Over the last several days, people online have been passionately voicing their support for Lil Wayne since he went undrafted again so to speak for the Super Bowl Halftime Show. With the game once again being hosted by New Orleans, almost everyone is upset that an outsider to Louisiana got the nod instead. Overall, there has been a very small amount of support for the aforementioned artists since the announcement, but one of Hov’s close collaborators is looking to fight off the haters, perhaps on his own based on how fiery his defense was.

That man is Jay Electronica, and according to XXL there are a whole bunch of tweets. There’s a lot to break down, but the overall gist of his argument is that everyone is taking this way too seriously. Instead, they should be focusing their hate and opinions on more serious matters in America. This tweet from Jay Elec perhaps best sums up the plethora of messages.

It reads, “And how yall so quick to let yall gun bust at your brother over nothing. If yall would put 10 percent of this negative energy over a FOOTBALL game into unifying for one common cause, our ppl would be free overnight. Salaaam Alaikum”. There’s also this one: “And let’s be real. @50cent just opened an entire industry in shreveport and these pu**y a** nights slave c**ning over a football game. If you don’t get the f*** outta my face”. There’s plenty of others to get into, so if you want to read them all, check the second “[Via]” link below.

Kendrick Lamar Warned Drake Before Dropping Diss Tracks, Joe Budden Claims

by

It goes without saying that Drake and Kendrick Lamar’s lyrical battle was one of the most explosive hip-hop fans have seen in a while. Apparently, however, Kendrick could have given Drake a warning before things popped off. During a recent episode of his podcast, Joe Budden shared this theory,. According to him, he heard K.Dot gave Drizzy a call before any of their diss tracks were released.

“I also heard that Drake and Kendrick had a talk before any diss record was released,” he explained. “I don’t know if that’s true or not, but I heard they spoke.” As for how the conversation itself actually went, Budden says Kendrick told Drake to keep it light. Clearly, that’s not at all how the situation played out.

Joe Budden On Drake & Kendrick Lamar’s Beef

“It went like the Teddy Pendergrass part of the sh*t,” he said. “‘Hey, how do you want this to go?’” Ultimately, Kendrick Lamar dropped what many believe to be the song of the summer. On “Not Like Us,” he accuses Drake and his OVO crew of being “certified pedophiles” and much more. Now that Kendrick has been announced as the headliner for the 2025 Super Bowl, there have been some questions as to whether or not he’ll be performing it in its entirety.

Obviously, it’s what most fans probably want to hear Kendrick perform live at this point, considering how big it’s been in recent months. Some people like Charlamagne Tha God, however, suspect that Drake has already threatened to take legal action if this is allowed. For now, it remains to be seen how the performance goes. What do you think of Joe Budden claiming he heard that Kendrick Lamar and Drake talked before their battle? Are you surprised by this rumor or not? Do you believe it? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Caitlin Clark May Have Just Backed Kamala Harris After Taylor Swift Endorsement

by

Caitlin Clark showed support for Taylor Swift and Kamala Harris on Instagram on Wednesday by liking the singer’s post endorsing the Vice President, as caught by TMZ. Swift made the announcement after Harris took on Donald Trump in the presidential debate on Tuesday night. She cited her support for LGBTQ+ rights, being pro-choice, and much more.

In the post, Swift explained: “I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.” She also brought up the AI photo of her falsely endorsing Donald Trump and trolled JD Vance by signing off as a “Childless Cat Lady.”

Not all of the reactions to Swift’s post have been as positive as the Indiana Fever star’s. Elon Musk creepily wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “Fine, Taylor, you win … I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life.” Trump also reacted to the news on Fox & Friends by bringing up her friendship with Patrick Mahomes’ wife, Brittany. “Well, I actually like Mrs. Mahomes much better. If you want to know the truth. She’s a big Trump fan. I was not a Taylor Swift fan,” he said.

Chrisean Rock Officially Changes Her Son’s Name

by

Chrisean Rock is now a free woman. For most of the internet that isn’t a good thing. Anytime her, her family, or Blueface are brought up, its groans galore. Today, people online are doing more of the same, as the baby mama of the “Thotiana” rapper has announced some more news. Early this morning, she sent out a tweet revealing that she has officially altered the name of her son, Chrisean Jr. If you have been voluntarily keeping up with everything she’s been up to/gone through, you may remember that she was wanting to change it since last September.

At the time of birth, his name was Chrisean Malone Jr. However, she decided that it had to be something different. She was pushing for Jonathan Jamall Porter Jr. because, “He has two sons but he don’t got a junior yet I don’t like it. I don’t like it like that”, Rock said. Now, things are official, but her baby boy’s name is not Jonathan. Instead, she decided to keep Chrisean, but now his middle name is Jesus, and his last is Porter.

“Chrisean Jesus Porter is his name it isn’t Jr any more just letting y’all know thanks”, she sent to X. Overall, the internet doesn’t really see this as much of change. “We were calling him Jr. because his name is CHRISEANNNNNNN bird brain smh”, one Hollwood Unlocked IG commenter says. “Hes still technically a jr 😭 just SLOWWW”, another adds. It’s been said before, but everyone seems to be done with Chrisean in every way.

What are your thoughts on Chrisean Rock changing Chrisean Jr.’s name to Chrisean Jesus Porter? Do you think the reactions/criticisms from the internet are valid or unfair?

Joe Budden Hints At Knowing “The Hottest Tea” About JAY-Z Choosing Kendrick Lamar Over Lil Wayne

by

Joe Budden spoke at length during the latest episode of his podcast about the theory that JAY-Z intended to disrespect Drake by helping select Kendrick Lamar to perform at the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show. In doing so, Budden hinted at knowing “the hottest tea” about something that happened backstage with Lil Wayne.

Budden began by admitting that, if he were JAY-Z, he wouldn’t like Drake’s decision to put out a house album, which he did with Honestly, Nevermind, during the same year that Beyonce did with Renaissance. “You gotta understand, we’re dealing with the ‘power’ part of ‘money, power, respect.’ That’s the part that we have to focus on. People with power are going to exert it, now, when this much is at play,” Budden began. From there, he brought up having some “tea.” “I’m hearing that there was an event where something happened backstage,” he added, before saying it was “too hot” to go into further detail. “But something happened backstage at one of them shows.”

From there, Budden complained about the overall reaction to the NFL selecting Lamar. “I’m upset that we announced a Black hip-hop halftime performer and we just muddy the water with who we think should’ve been, or who y’all think should’ve been the Black performer,” he added, before targeting young hip-hop fans. “Y’all wasn’t even alive for the hundred years of Kid Rock, and Guns & Roses, and Bruce Springsteen.”

Diddy Receives Laundry List Of Disturbing Allegations From Danity Kane Singer Dawn Richard

by

The lawsuits against Diddy aren’t going to slow down anytime soon and Dawn Richard’s set of allegations is more proof of that. According to a haunting report from TMZ, they obtained legal documents from the singer and just the number of accounts alone is eye-popping. However, the actual contents of each accusation are even more so. Richard and Diddy’s relationship began in 2004 via the latter’s program on MTV, “Making The Band”. This is when she started to learn that the Bad Boys mogul was capable of some committing some serious to harm to herself and others.

For example, in 2005, Richard says she saw one of the rapper’s former girlfriends, Kim Porter, leaving a studio with her face bashed. Then, in 2006, Richard recalls when Diddy first met Cassie and was extremely predatory towards her. Later, in 2009, she claims that she witnessed him toss the singer against wall, pin her to it by choking her, and then drag up her the stairs all while intoxicated on drugs in his L.A. residence. Additionally, Richard remembers when Diddy hurdled hot scrambled eggs at Cassie and scolded her for not making them properly. “I’ve been asking you for my s***; I can’t stand you b****, you never do it right!”

Dawn Richard’s Accounts Paint Diddy As A Horror Villain

Eventually, the veteran singer and some of her friends warned Cassie and urged her to leave Diddy. This got back to him, and he threatened to take their lives and end their careers. “Y’all b****es don’t get in my relationship. Don’t tell my b**** what she need to be doing… Just make money and shut the f*** up… I end artists… I shelve careers… You could be missing… You b****es want to die today”. After that exchange it seems that’s when the entrepreneur began to target Richard, too. She recounts a time when she was forced to record for 48 hours straight with no sleep leading to some physical issues.

Furthermore, there was an even worse stretch from ’09-2011. Diddy began to touch Richard inappropriately while she was naked in her dressing room at his studio. Additionally, she says that she was locked in a car with tinted windows rolled up. She called her dad to help, and he had to travel from Baltimore to New York to do so. When he arrived and confronted Diddy, he said, “Think about your daughter… Think about your daughter’s career.” So far, no response from the rapper on any of this. What are your thoughts on these newest allegations from Dawn Richard against Diddy? 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 Diddy and Dawn Richard. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.
