Kanye West, J. Cole, Young Thug, And More Seen In Photos Submitted In YNW Melly’s Trial

Several notable rappers were included in the hundreds of photos submitted by prosecutor Kristine Bradley as evidence in YNW’s Melly trial. As Bryson “Boom” Paul reports, the full list includes Kanye West, Trina, Kodak Black, Lil Uzi Vert, Fredo Bang, J. Cole, Young Thug, Tee Grizzly, and PNB Rock. Melly is accused of murdering his two friends, alongside Cortlen “Bortlen” Henry, back in 2018.

Earlier this week, the trial’s ninth day saw attorneys name-drop various other artists. Melly’s defense lawyer, David A. Howard, brought up lyrics to songs from Drake and Kevin Gates. French Montana was also previously mentioned by Danny Polo, an undercover detective and gang expert.

Various Rappers Appear In Photos Submitted As Evidence In YNW Melly Trial

Today in court, one of the alleged victim’s mother, Leondra Phillips, also got the opportunity to testify. She was asked to identify her son, born Christopher Thomas Jr., in surveillance footage. Juvy, along with the other alleged victim, YNW SakChaser, were seen in the footage getting into a car with Melly and Bortlen. They were then seen leaving a recording studio on the night of the alleged murders. Melly’s defense claims that after they got into the vehicle, a drive-by shooting took place. Melly claims the drive-by is what took the lives of SakChaser and Juvy.

Sgt. Christopher Williams also took the stand today, supporting claims that Melly could have staged the drive-by he says resulted in his friends’ deaths. “The shooting happened from somebody inside the car,” Williams claimed. He also went on to detail a forensic analysis. He claims that the angles and proximity of the victims’ injuries point to Melly being behind the shooting. Yesterday, however, it was reported that none of Melly’s DNA was found in the vehicle on the night of the shooting. Investigators were able to find his DNA on the handle of the car door recently, but no gun residue was found on his hands on the night the alleged murders took place.

Doja Cat Shows Off Her New Spider Tattoo

Doja Cat recently hopped on Instagram to share some photos of her new back tattoo. The tattoo is of a spider hanging upside down, and it sits right beneath her tattoo of a bat skeleton. She poses topless to flex her new ink.

Last week, Doja Cat announced her upcoming “Scarlet” tour alongside Ice Spice and Doeechii. She shared the new with her fans with a simple Instagram post, reading “see you on the scarlet tour.” The tour will make 24 stops across the U.S., featuring notable dates in Brooklyn, Miami, Los Angeles, and more. The “Scarlet” tour kicks off on Halloween this year in San Francisco, CA, and will wrap up at Chicago’s United Center in December. Doja Cat also went live on Instagram a few days ago to tease another track she has coming out soon. She played a snippet of the song, titled “Balut,” for fans.

Doja Cat’s Tattoos

Doja also dropped her new track, “Attention,” earlier this month alongside a spooky accompanying music video. The release of the single has gotten fans hoping that she’ll be releasing a full project sometime in the near future. Her next album is expected to drop sometime this year, though no official release date or title has been confirmed. Previously, she told fans the LP would be called Hellmouth, then First of All. She later went back on both titles, claiming she’s finally settled on the name of her next album. All fans know of the title now is that “It’s not First of All.

Earlier this month, Doja Cat got slammed on Twitter by Azealia Banks. Banks went on a rant on her Instagram Story, telling followers “I really be wanting to like Doja’s music but it’s all just sooo try hard.” She further trashed Doja, saying, “She’s giving me those weird fka twigs biracial girl identity crisis vibes.” Banks continued, “Her approach to trying to conceptualize an authentic rap record is giving angel haze NYC WANNABE levels of boring rippity rap/ cheesy soho whiteboy hypebeast circa ’06.” Regardless of Banks’ hot take, Doja’s fans continue to gear up for whatever she has in store next.

Gunna In Miami As New Young Thug Album Drops

Just as his currently still locked-up label mate Young Thug dropped his new album from behind bars, Gunna was out on the town in Miami. Photos and videos of the rapper in Miami hit the internet this morning. As is often the case under Gunna posts, fans had plenty to say about the rapper. As usual, plenty of people brought up the rapper’s alleged snitching earlier this year. Fans were also quick to call out his outfit, a black sleeveless shirt with white buttons and some baggy brown pants.

Sentiments toward Gunna might have been even more hostile than usual following the release of Young Thug’s new album Business Is Business. Though fans are still dissecting the project they’ve already identified lyrics that could be shots at Thugger’s YSL partner. The song “Jonesboro” features the lyrics “N*ggas told and he was my homie, I can’t miss him, Ain’t nobody feel him.” While some saw the lyrics as an obvious shot at Gunna, others weren’t convinced. Some claim that the song was recorded before the pair were even ever arrested in the first place.

Gunna Out In Miami

Gunna has been defending himself from numerous fronts since taking a plea deal in the YSL RICO case a few months ago. On a recent podcast appearance, Lil Durk didn’t mince words with his thoughts toward the rapper. “That man told,” the “All My Life” rapper said. He may or may not have just taken a hit from a former collaborator. In a leaked snippet of a new music video, Lil Baby appears to take aim at his fellow Drip Harder rapper for snitching. Given the pair’s extensive history of collaborating that shot in particular may have hurt.

In the wake of those statements, Gunna appears to have unfollowed both Lil Baby and Lil Durk on Instagram. Gunna released a new album of his own last week. The project saw him giving some of his own thoughts on the snitching situation. What do you think of Gunna’s new photos in Miami while Young Thug may have dissed him? Let us know in the comment section below.

Sukihana Turns Heads In New Instagram Photos Following YK Osiris’ Apology

Sukihana has taken to social media recently to share some new photos with fans. It’s clear that the artist is feeling herself as she poses in a bright green mini dress and sky-high pink heels. Sukihana recently received an apology from YK Osiris, who forcibly kissed her at a Crew League basketball game earlier this month. The artist later revealed that it had a majorly negative impact on her, telling fans that she needed to “go away for a while” following the incident.

I am hurt and I am scared to stand up for myself,” Sukihana revealed on Twitter. She later explained, “I drink to hide that I’m very sensitive. I feel things more then the average person. I stopped drinking yesterday but today I’ve been crying all day.” The artist continued, “I asked God to strengthen me and use me to help others and to order my steps in his word. I just want to go away for awhile.

YK Osiris Apologized For Forcibly Kissing Sukihana

When YK Osiris received backlash after a clip of the incident began circulating online, he wrote an apology to Sukihana. “I want to publicly offer my sincerest apology to Sukihana. In an attempt to be playful, I misread the moment and violated Sukihana’s boundaries,” he said on Instagram. Sukihana publicly forgave YK Osiris after the apology, saying “God always forgives me and I can always forgive others.” She elaborated, writing, “My accepting his apology is not my excusing or lessening the severity of his actions. This is Destiny choosing to give grace to Osiris.” The artist continued, claiming she hopes the situation will act as a learning experience for YK Osiris. She said, “I am human, a woman, a mother, and a daughter before I am an entertainer. No matter what my lyrics express, I still have boundaries and a right to have them.”

YK Osiris later issued another apology, writing, “I apologize to my family and supporters I keep letting y’all down. I want to be a better person and focus on my purpose and that’s music, I love y’all so much fr,” he wrote. He added, “Don’t wry I got a gift for y’all, since I been bull shitting these past years. I lost everything, my mind, my family, my love for music, I just need help fr.

Eminem Fans Speculate Whether He Skipped Daughter’s Wedding

Eminem fans are heavily debating online as to whether their favorite MC decided to not attend his daughter Alaina Scott’s wedding to Matt Moeller. Moreover, this speculation is based on the fact that many pictures of the wedding published online don’t feature Marshall Mathers. Furthermore, after seeing Scott’s social media posts and failing to spot the rapper, fans wonder whether the father of the bride was there in the first place. It’s a pretty ridiculous rumor mill, as it’s far beyond spectator purview to determine whether he was there based on a few pictures. Maybe he didn’t want them posted online, had an emergency, or a thousand other reasons that are only for the family to know.

What’s more is that this isn’t the only big wedding in the Mathers family. Slim Shady’s biological daughter Hailie recently had her engagement party after longtime boyfriend (and now fiancée) Evan McClintock proposed earlier in the year. On the other hand, Alaina Scott and Matt Moeller dated for over seven years before Moeller proposed in 2021. As incredibly personal and private affairs, maybe we should be asking Eminem for more albums rather than confirmation that he attended his daughter’s wedding for the sake of fan knowledge.

Eminem Fans Wonder Whether He Went To Daughter’s Wedding

For those unaware, the Detroit legend adopted Alaina Scott, who he calls Lainey, from Kim’s sister Dawn. She struggled with drug addiction, and Eminem would eventually go on to adopt Kim’s child Stevie, who she had from another relationship. Hailie actually served as Alaina’s maid of honor during the ceremony, which took place on Friday (June 9) in Detroit. “June 9, 2023 simply one of the best days of my life,” Alaina wrote on Instagram. “In this lifetime and in the next, my soul will always find yours.”

Meanwhile, The Marshall Mathers LP and The Eminem Show recently turned 23 and 21 years old, respectively. As two landmark albums not just in the 50-year-old’s discography, but in hip-hop as a whole, they continue to see massive spins and acclaim today. Hopefully he joined his daughter to celebrate as well. For more updates and the latest news on Eminem, come back to HNHH.

These Photos From Sunset Music Festival Will Leave You Ready For Festival Season

Sunset Music Festival electrified the southern United States over Memorial Day Weekend, setting off the summer festival season. The 2023 edition starred a whole lot of vibrantly colored attendees thanks to a slew of electronic heavyweights AC Slater, Audien, Adventure Club, Bear Grillz, Chris Lake, Hannah Wants, Honeyluv, and more, all the while casting a sensory overload of top-notch visual and audio production. Because what’s a party without some serious sound production to knock ya around on the dancefloor?

While SMF has annually been a staple summer kickoff event in Florida, this year wowed the masses with its new 360-degree stage shade structure, allowing fans to get down to the sweltering beats of house music and not the sun itself. Of course, a nightly firework showcase to round off both nights after days of dancing to all the likes of electronic music was truly the icing on the cake. Sorry if you weren’t there, we understand if you have FOMO.

While this year’s festival circuit has a long list of impressive musical lineups and attendee offerings, we still can’t get SMF out of our heads. It reminds us that festivals truly are one of the building blocks that fosters connection across society (just when everything seems to be crumbling down around us). Don’t mind us if we keep these photos in our heads rent-free for the next couple of months as the beat of summer is only just beginning.
