Alabama Barker Gives Paparazzi The Finger In A Little Black Dress During NYC Outing

by

With a father like Travis Barker to look to for support and guidance, some expected Alabama Barker to follow in the Blink-182 rocker’s footsteps with an alternative music career of her own. Those people were half right, as the teen has shown a strong interest in the industry. Rather than picking up drumsticks, she’s been trying her hand at rapping. In fact, she’s even shared some rough tracks with fans on TikTok and other platforms over the past few months. Critics of Barker have accused her of blackfishing. Nevertheless, she’s already made it clear that she doesn’t have time for haters.

It’s unclear if, or when, the blonde beauty plans to share her songs with the world officially. Still, she continues to make waves with her bold style choices and attitude, which she proudly showed off this past weekend in New York City. Barker was photographed by the paparazzi in a little black dress and several silver accessories. She shielded her eyes from their camera glare with oversized shades.

Alabama Barker Steps Out in the Big Apple

According to The Sun, Travis’ daughter was leaving her hotel in the Big Apple when the pictures were taken. Seeing as Fashion Week festivities have been ongoing in the area, it’s likely that Barker was stepping out for one of those. Other young artists and socialites we’ve seen hitting the town over the past few days include Coi Leray, Doja Cat, and Ice Spice, just to name a few.

She’s only 17 years old, but that didn’t stop Alabama Barker from hitting up the club earlier this month. It’s surprising enough that she was partying underage, but at the same time, her step mom Kourtney Kardashian was also undergoing emergency fetal surgery to save the life of her baby boy. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more music/pop culture news updates.

Sam Asghari’s “Paparazzi Disguise” Picked By His IG Followers Amid Britney Spears Divorce

by

Britney Spears and Sam Asghari’s marriage coming to an end isn’t exactly a surprise to anyone who’s been keeping up with the pair since their courtship began. Apart from the difference in their age and financial status, other critics have also noted their apparent lack of chemistry and distinctly different personality types. While Asghari prefers to lay low and mostly keep his personal business out of the public eye, Spears has always been one for entertaining a crowd – especially with her controversial dancing videos.

Plies is perhaps the mother of two’s biggest fan at this time and has been regularly posting reaction videos to her moves both on and off the pole. When the pop star confirmed her divorce earlier this week, social media was quick to blame the rapper for pulling “White Diamond,” as he’s been calling her, away from Asghari. It’s unclear if Spears’ provocative dancing is a part of the reason why she and her husband are breaking up, but the situation has certainly brought out his inner comedian.

Sam Asghari Makes Light of His Separation from Britney Spears

A few days ago, Asghari posted on his IG Story with three different potential “disguises” to help him evade the paparazzi. Two of them show the model wearing glasses, while others switch up his hairstyle and colour. “Help me choose paparazzi disguise,” he asked his followers, looking for input on which combination would make him the least recognizable. It seems Asghari was only kidding, but still, being in the media so frequently during a divorce can’t be easy to navigate.

While Sam Asghari continues to crack jokes about what life will be like without Britney Spears, his ex has been doing some post-divorce announcement celebrating of her own. It seems the “Womanizer” hitmaker spent her weekend partying with a group of guys who were more than happy to make her feel like a queen. See what Brit had to say about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Cardi B Prefers French Paparazzi, Says They Ensure Celebs “Look Nice” In Photos

by

Cardi B recently went to France for Paris Fashion Week, where she was photographed countless times. A new clip shows Cardi walking to her car surrounded by paparazzi, taking the opportunity to compare French paparazzi to American paparazzi. She ranted about American photographers seeking unflattering images of celebs in order to pick them apart, claiming that the French don’t do that.

“You guys are the best,” she’s heard telling the photographers. “I really love the paparazzi out here because let me tell you about the f*ckin’ American paparazzi… When you guys put [up] pictures of celebrities, you guys make sure that they look nice. You guys make sure that they take good pictures. I don’t know why American paparazzi, they will really post a picture of you looking like this [Makes a face]. That’s f***ed up. Y’all want pictures of celebrities looking bad so people can make fun of them, shred them, put their confidence down… that’s mean. Y’all gonna get paid the same. The French paparazzi don’t do that.”

Cardi B Thinks American Paparazzi Post “F***ed Up” Photos

The “WAP” rapper attended the Balenciaga PFW show with Offset amid some recent public relationship drama. Offset took to social media to accuse the mother of two of his children of cheating on him, and she later clapped back. She insisted that she didn’t cheat on Offset, claiming that due to her celebrity status, it would be difficult for her to be unfaithful. “That motherf*cker spiraling and thinking sh*t,” she explained, “I’m just not anybody.”

She continued, “I can’t [be] f***in no regular degular shmegular because they gon tell the world. I can’t f**k nobody in the industry cause they gon tell too.” “So please boy,” she added, “stop acting stupid. Don’t play with me.” Despite the momentary beef, Cardi recently dropped off an Instagram photo dump featuring Offset. The couple posed with each other in coordinating, all-black Balenciaga outfits, showing the world that they’re still very much in love.

Future Throws Water At Photographer Refused To Stop: Watch

by

Future is one of the best artists in hip-hop right now. Overall, he is coming off of a year in which he was able to support his new album I Never Liked You. This project dropped back in 2022 and it was a huge hit. Although, it has been a while since we have heard from him in terms of a new song. As it turns out, Future tweeted earlier this morning about “Mixtape Pluto,” which absolutely has fans excited. Moreover, a Metro Boomin joint tape is rumored to be released later this year.

Needless to say, fans have a lot to look forward to as it pertains to Future. While it may be a while before we get these projects, they are least seemingly being worked on. For a lot of fans, this is just an overall huge win. Unfortunately for Future, he took a bit of an L last night. According to My Mixtapez, this happened while out for dinner. He was with his team when a photographer started filming him. A friend of Future’s told the paparazzo to back off, however, he continued to film.

Future Has Had Enough

Subsequently, Future himself got involved, telling the man to step back. In the end, the paparazzo refused to listen. The artist then got in the car which went and drove off. However, as the rapper passed the photographer, he shot a cup of water at him. Although it wasn’t that big of a deal, it is a situation that could have been avoided if the paparazzo had just stepped back for a second or two. If anything, this just goes to show that like many other celebrities, Future is fed up with the paparazzi and their various efforts to get photos.

In the past, some celebs have done much worse. For instance, Kanye West is being sued for throwing a photographer’s phone into the street. Luckily, Future will not be getting himself into that much trouble here. Let us know if you believe he was in the right here, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the music world.

Kanye West Yells At Paparazzi While Heading To Church

by

Kanye West was recorded yelling at paparazzi in Los Angeles on Sunday while heading to church. In a clip posted by TMZ, the rapper demands that the photographers stop following him and his family.

“Like, seriously bro, all of you motherfuckers, stop following me!” Kanye yelled to the paparazzi. The demand didn’t appear to work as more photos later surfaced of the family at the church. Ye’s son, Psalm, brought along his bike. As for their outfits, Kanye rocked a black T-shirt featuring the German word for police along with massive shoulder pads. Bianca Censori went with a strange black couture dress and matching high-heeled boots.

The public rant comes days after the airing of the second episode of season 3 of The Kardashians. During the episode, Kim Kardashian, Kanye’s ex and the mother of his children, admitted that she tries to protect her kids from Ye’s public image. “I still feel the need to not talk about it and protect it from my kids and I always will feel that way but God, if people knew,” she said. “I would just never do that to my kids.”

She added in a confessional: “I have to figure out a way to protect and so they still haven’t seen anything, but I go into crisis mode. I am the one being accused for and being blamed for so many things. And it really, really is hurtful and it sucks, but I can control how I react and I can control if I’m a mess. Then my kids will see that.”

Kanye Yells At Paparazzi

In addition to Psalm, West and Kardashian share three other children in North, Saint, and Chicago. The two officially settled their divorce back in November 2022. In the time since, West and Censori have been referring to each other as being married; however, they never filed for an actual marriage license.

Harry and Meghan In Danger? Many Express Doubt About Alleged Car Chase

by

Whoopi Goldberg didn’t seem convinced about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s description of a “near catastrophic” car chase they experienced. During an episode of The View, Goldberg joked about the incident. She remarked, “If it was possible to have car chases in New York, we’d all make it to the theater on time.” The host expressed doubt that the incident reached the level of severity portrayed by their spokesperson. Her co-host Joy Behar chimed in, pointing out that even ambulances aren’t able to get through traffic in New York.

TV host Megyn Kelly also weighed in on the incident during her SiriusXM show. She suggested that Harry and Meghan were exaggerating the situation to garner attention. Bethenny Frankel expressed skepticism as well, referring to the couple as “babies who want attention.” However, she acknowledged that the situation sounded scary. “Perhaps this was the worst car chase since Princess Diana, but people have a hard time believing it,” Frenkel said. “It’s a story that keeps being pushed.” She then encouraged the couple to take precautions to avoid such circumstances in the future.

Harry and Meghan’s Spokesperson Paints A Very Dramatic Picture

Harry and Meghan’s spokesperson released a lengthy statement about the alleged incident. “This relentless pursuit, lasting over two hours, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road, pedestrians, and two NYPD officers,” the spokesperson said. “While being a public figure comes with a level of interest from the public, it should never come at the cost of anyone’s safety. Dissemination of these images, given the ways in which they were obtained, encourages a highly intrusive practice that is dangerous to all involved.”

Harry and Meghan have demanded that the agency that employs the paparazzi members involved hand over the footage. However, they have refused. “In America, as I’m sure you know, property belongs to the owner of it. Third parties cannot just demand it be given to them, as perhaps Kings can do,” said the agency’s lawyer. “You should sit down with your client and advise them that his English rules of royal prerogative to demand that the citizenry hand over their property to the Crown were rejected by this country long ago. We stand by our founding fathers.” It is certainly a dramatic statement, but it is also no doubt effective. What do you think of the situation? Is the couple exaggerating? Sound off in the comments!

Prince Harry And Meghan Markle “Demand” Footage Of Nearly-Fatal Car Chase

by

After a nearly-fatal incident earlier this week, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s legal team have demanded the footage captured by paparazzi during the “chase.” Their legal team sent a letter to the photo agency involved, Backgrid, reading, “We hereby demand that Backgrid immediately provide us with copies of all photos, videos, and/or films taken last night by the freelance photographers after the couple left their event and over the next several hours.” Backgrid claims they “had no intention of causing any distress or harm, as their only tool was their cameras.”

Backgrid refuses to hand over the footage. Their lawyer said, “In America, as I’m sure you know, property belongs to the owner of it.” They also say, Third parties cannot just demand it be given to them, as perhaps Kings can do.” Also adding, “you should sit down with your client and advise them that his English rules of royal prerogative to demand that the citizenry hand over their property to the Crown were rejected by this country long ago. We stand by our founding fathers.”

The pair were on their way back from a ceremony where Markle accepted an award when the incident occurred. Harry and Markle were followed “relentlessly” by paparazzi, with their SUV reportedly going up to 80 mph to escape them. A spokesperson for the couple shared about the incident. They said, “This relentless pursuit, lasting over 2 hours, resulted in multiple near collisions involving other drivers on the road.” Including, “pedestrians and 2 NYPD officers.”

The couple also dealt with another incident this week, when an alleged stalker was detained on their property. Their security team called police at 2 a.m., when Kevin Garcia Valdovinos was spotted near the entrance to their home. The security team then detained Valdovinos until police arrived, and he was later also arrested for misdemeanor stalking. He was released that morning on $2,500 bail. Valdovinos’ charge also led to speculation that this wasn’t the first time he had done something like this. The couple was unharmed, and it is unconfirmed whether or not they were home at the time of the incident.

Post Malone Shows Off Slimmer Figure In New Photos

by

In preparation for his performances at the O2 Arena, Post Malone went on a shopping spree at Tom Ford in London on Tuesday. While there, paparazzi snapped some photos of the rapper looking noticeably thinner. He was dressed in camouflage cargo pants, an ivory bomber jacket, and a brown T-shirt. Post appeared to be in a good mood as he cheerfully smiled for the cameras and gave the thumbs up before getting into a taxi. In May 2022, the 27-year-old rapper became a father for the first time. Since then, he says he has changed his lifestyle and feels better than ever.

Post recently took to his Instagram to clarify that his weight loss was not due to drug use. He stated that he has been asked about his weight loss and high energy during performances and wanted to set the record straight. The rapper attributes his weight loss to “dad life,” which has motivated him to quit drinking soda. He has also improved his diet so that he can be healthy for his baby girl. While he eventually also plans to quit smoking and drinking, he is taking his time and being patient with himself. Post also mentioned that he has been working on new music in the studio and that he is the happiest he has been in a long time.

Post’s New Album Is Well On The Way

Post Malone recently released his new single, “Chemical.” Twelve Carat Toothache, his fourth studio album, was released less than a year ago, and it was another hit for the rapper. The album debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 2. There were numerous guest appearances from Post’s contemporaries. It included performances from the likes of The Weeknd on “One Right Now” and Doja Cat on “I Like You (A Happier Song).” The songs reached their apex at positions 6 and 2, respectively. If the success of his last record is anything to go off of, it’s likely that his upcoming one will be another hit for the artist.

In the newly-dropped “Chemical,” Post talks about how he can’t leave a relationship even though he wants to. He speaks about the love as an addiction. It’s fitting, given that the rapper has been very open about his struggles with substance abuse. The track itself is an upbeat but melancholy acoustic pop song. It sounds like the kind of song you’d blast late at night on the way home from a party. That said, it’s a perfect time to release the song. Summer is coming up, and this is definitely going to be one of the songs of the season. At the very least, it’s good to see Post looking happy and healthy and singing about love. What do you think of his new slimmed-down look? Let us know in the comments!

Khalid Criticizes A.I. Generated Songs

by

Khalid is among many artists and creatives with mixed feelings about A.I.-generated songs. There has been a slew of tracks surfacing on the internet of big-name artists covering other artists’ songs. You’ve probably heard Ye or Drake over an IceSpice song once or twice on your TL. Khalid shared some of his concerns regarding the viral A.I. generated tracks.

In a recent interview with TMZ paparazzi, Khalid was asked about the recent waves of A.I. generated Drake tracks and more. Additionally, he was later asked if he would be okay with someone doing the same thing to his voice. “I have mixed feelings about it,” he told the paps. “I feel like A.I. is definitely going to be a helpful tool and it’s one of those things you can’t escape.” “Hopefully, you know, I still get to have my job for a really long time.” It’s fair to say we all hope to keep our jobs now that A.I. has crash landed on the scene. However, the American Teen songwriter was definitive in his criticism when asked about someone using his voice.

Khalid Sounds Off On A.I. Generated Music

Furthermore, Khalid was asked if he would work with any dead artists with the use of A.I., it was a hard pass for the Texas native. As detailed in the interview, Khalid mentions authenticity being taken away as these A.I.-generated tracks begin to take shape. Evidently, the authenticity in the art is lost when the actual humans whose voices are being emulated, are not involved in the creative process.

Khalid is one artist that prides himself on the authenticity and quality of his work. We wouldn’t have songs like “Location” or “Reasons” without authenticity. The human element is what makes music, music. While the A.I. voice emulators are cool and a great tool, it doesn’t beat the real thing, and Khalid agrees. What are your thoughts on A.I.-generated music? Will this be the new wave for music now? Let HNHH know what’s up in the comments section below!

Kanye West Spotted Out & About With Bianca Censori

by

After the couple appeared in skin-tight latex suits masking their faces at the Fear Of God runway show on Wednesday (April 19), some new pictures emerged of Kanye West and Bianca Censori ahead of the weekend. Moreover, Ye shaved his head and kept a bushy beard, which he displayed driving around town with Censori. A different look could mean anything for Kanye, but his controversies and desire for privacy doesn’t indicate he’ll be firmly back in the public eye anytime soon. Regardless, any peek at the Chicago artist will turn heads.

However, those peeks are now harder to come by than ever considering he deactivated his Instagram account. While many want him to make some sort of statement so he can return to business as usual, it’s probably best for him to lay low. Not only do people antagonized and legitimately affected by his comments deserve space away from him on the media, but it also might give him the time and energy to heal and reflect on his actions on his own. Even though the media will still cover and give updates on him, the 45-year-old probably benefits from not having presence of his own.

Kanye West Driving Around With Bianca Censori

In a twisted turn of events, past and future long-term coverage of Kanye West did and will do a lot of that for him, albeit without his input. When it comes to past explorations of his character, the documentary jeen-yuhs from Coodie and Chike is facing a lawsuit from a woman who disapproved of their use of footage of her. According to her suit, she was in an “altered state and not capable of providing consent” when filmed. Amid claims of emotional distress and damage to her reputation, she expresses disappointment in the carelessness of the footage.

Meanwhile, the upcoming We Need To Talk About Kanye documentary from BBC will reportedly focus on his blasted behavior more closely. Also, its producer stated that the film develops “revelations” about Ye’s recent actions and his long history in the public eye. Perhaps this will be a meaningful exploration of his arc and character- or just a puff/hit piece based on what we already know. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Kanye West.
