Ashanti & Her Bikini Bod Enjoy A “Floating Breakfast” In Abu Dhabi

March 14, 2023 by newhiphopnews

For many women, aging is undoubtedly made out to be a terrifying thing. This causes some to attempt to hold onto their youth in vain through the use of various cosmetic procedures and beauty regimens. Thankfully, a new generation of 40-something celebrities has been markedly proving that getting older doesn’t have to be scary. In fact, it can actually be sexy. Starlets (and mothers) like Kim Kardashian and Nicki Minaj consistently put their curvaceous bodies on display online. On Monday (March 13), Ashanti joined them with some saucy snaps of her own.

The R&B darling’s Instagram photo dump starts off relatively innocent. She stands chest-deep in a beautiful pool, an extravagant tray of colourful food sitting in front of her. “Floating breakfast in Abu Dhabi,” Ashanti wrote in the caption, tagging her location specifically as Saadiyat Island. It appears that she indulged in tropical fruits, a smoothie, and plenty of other yummy treats while hiding from the sun in an oversized hat.

In the next photo, the 42-year-old shows off her entire orange bikini (and her toned but curvy body). She wore her swimsuit under a floor-length coverup in the same colour. Her long black hair was worn down and left to hang around her waist. The same sunhat from before shaded her face from the UV rays shining down. The third and final image is taken from the edge of the pool, where much of the breakfast remains in the wicker tray, waiting to be eaten. Off in the distance, Ashanti relaxes on a chair, fruity drink in hand.

While she’s enjoying Abu Dhabi alone in her post, the New Yorker obviously had company who captured the perfect snapshots for her. Many fans are praising her lavish lifestyle in the comments, writing things like, “Ashanti is overall lifestyle goals! Taking notes,” and “Little miss STAYS ON VACATION.” Elsewhere, someone joked about the food left to sit in the sun, writing, “Can I get them leftovers? Respectfully.”

Who is the “Always On Time” Singer Dating?

She keeps her love life relatively private. Still, if we had to guess who Ashanti would bring on a baecation, it would be Nelly. Just last month, she was reportedly caught wearing the “Just A Dream” hitmaker’s chain. This caused some to speculate about a possible reunion between the former lovers. Nothing has been confirmed at this time, but make sure to check back later for more updates on your favourite celebrities.

Khloé Kardashian Celebrates Tristan Thompson On His Birthday, Reveals Their Son’s Face In New Photos

March 14, 2023 by newhiphopnews

As much as Khloé Kardashian has been denying the existence of a romantic relationship in her life, all signs are pointing toward a reunion between her and Tristan Thompson. The athlete has been regularly caught double-tapping his co-parent’s Instagram selfies as of late, and they both attended Malika and Khadijah Haqq’s birthday party just last week. On Monday (March 13), the Canadian celebrated his 32nd trip around the Sun, which earned him a heartfelt tribute post from his ex.

The last year has been rocky for the former couple, with Kardashian finding out about yet another of Thompson’s infidelities while awaiting the birth of their second baby together via surrogate. While he previously shared a smooch with Kylie Jenner’s ex-BFF, Jordyn Woods, this time around he hooked up with Maralee Nichols, who wound up pregnant and opted to keep the baby. She welcomed a little boy, Theo, late last year, and so far, the Canadian seems to be mostly out of the picture.

Are Khloé and Tristan Back Together?

In wake of that (somewhat) shocking news, reports came forward stating that the mother of two had no interest in a romantic reconciliation with Thompson. However, he’s since bought a house located incredibly close to Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner, shortly before the death of his own mom, Andrea Thompson, in early 2023. Immediately upon hearing the news, the co-parents came together to fly to Toronto where they mourned their unexpected loss.

The tragedy seems to have brought them closer together and given the basketball star a new outlook on life. In a heartfelt tribute to his fallen angel, Thompson apologized for any embarrassment he may have caused while also promising to become better and grow. According to Kardashian’s annual birthday tribute to her children’s father, he seems to be following through with his commitment. “Happy birthday @realtristan13. You are truly the best father, brother & uncle,” she wrote in her caption.

Throughout the accompanying photo dump, we see several photos of Thompson with three of his four children, the one he shares with Nichols notably missing. “Your love, attention, silly dances, hugs, carpool rides, bedtime rituals, the way [you] show up for them. All of the above means more than you’ll ever know to your family of littles,” she praised the man of the hour.

Afterward, the Good American founder seemingly addressed the elephant in the room – her endless ability to forgive her former lover, no matter how badly he hurt her. “My birthday wish for [you] is that [you] continue to crave change, healing, and transformation. Be strong, be kind, be patient, be free. Continue to make your soul and your mommy proud. Happy birthday, baby daddy,” she ended her heartfelt message. Do you think Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson will get back together this year? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Rihanna’s Son Looks Adorable In New Photos: “He Found Out His Sibling Is Going To The Oscars”

March 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Rihanna’s Super Bowl Halftime Show last month was everything fans expected. Many thought the 35-year-old would announce her long-awaited follow-up to 2016’s ANTI after her return to the stage. Instead, she shocked the world by revealing that she’s with child once again, less than a year after the birth of her and A$AP Rocky’s baby boy.

In the time since the NFL Championship, fans of the Bad Gal have been eagerly waiting for updates on her pregnancy, her son, and her music career. She’s been showing off her budding bump here and there in stylish outfits, and on Sunday (March 5), she gave an update on her little one who’s already Earthside, as well as her next big performance. As you may have heard, Rihanna will be performing her “Lift Me Up” song from the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack at the upcoming Oscars, and her baby boy was less than pleased to find out he’s not invited.

“My son when he found out his sibling is going to the Oscars and not him,” she wrote in her Instagram caption. In the first selection from her carousel, we see the little one pouting and shedding tears in his playpen while looking up at the camera. “Swipe for a tb of my fat man,” the Barbadian singer added, encouraging followers to look at more content of her family life. In the video, we see the baby, looking much younger, babbling as he watches Rihanna on the screen.

In the final photo, his chunky arm will certainly melt your heart as mother and son watch what appears to be the “Lift Me Up” music video together. Though we still haven’t found out his name, fans of the Fenty Beauty founder are more than happy to gush over the adorable photos she shares. As her second pregnancy continues, many are hoping we’ll see similar maternity serves to the bold ones Rihanna stepped out in last time she was with child.

Much like the last time she was expecting, RiRi has kept many details regarding her second child under wraps. Since she’s already welcomed a son, it’s been said (even by her father, Ronald Fenty), that she’s hoping for a girl this time around. Let us know if you’re excited about the “Desperado” singer’s Oscars performance in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Kanye West Has Another Heated Paparazzi Encounter, Defends His Rights & Wife

February 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West just engaged in another confrontational encounter with paparazzi. Moreover, a new video shared by DJ Akademiks from The Hollywood Fix shows an argument between the rapper and an onlooker. Furthermore, the video starts with someone in the distance yelling out at Ye. “Can you hear?” the paparazzi asks the Chicago artist. “You’re famous, bro. That’s what I’m taking it for, it’s nothing else.” However, West responded by defending his rights to privacy. “But I still got rights as a man,” he replied. “I still got rights as a man.”

“You ain’t taking no more photos,” the Yeezy mogul continued. “And tell everybody else they ain’t taking no more photos of my wife. You want me to follow you and your wife? Let me take pictures of your wife? I’mma start taking pictures of your wife.” As Kanye retorts, you can hear the photographer say that he’s leaving, and doesn’t want to take any more pictures. In fact, it seems this incident occurred outside of a West Hollywood police station. Previously, many outlets reported that West sought to resolve his issues with paparazzi with police. While many assumed that he turned over a new leaf in terms of his behavior towards them, it seems he’s still getting in altercations.

However, this recent argument could’ve turned much more serious, as we saw a few weeks ago. Moreover, the 45-year-old faces a battery investigation for an incident with paparazzi and the general public. When they spotted Kanye leaving his daughter North’s basketball game, he lashed out at photographers and onlookers. In fact, things got into such a discussion that he reached into a woman’s car as she filmed him. Then, he grabbed her phone and threw it away in the middle of the street. From what video of the incident shows, multiple citizens witnessed the altercation.

Meanwhile, his recent outbursts at paparazzi reflect a frustration with media coverage of his many escapades. For one, many people hyper-focused on his new wife, Bianca Censori, and followed the couple around. Of course, these pursuits for updates on the “Yikes” artist follow his public reckoning for antisemitic and bigoted rhetoric. As such, only Ye’s response and handling of these situations can shift what the public wants to see. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Kanye West.

XXXTENTACION’s Accused Killers Took Photos With Cash Robbed From Late Rapper: Report

February 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

As we wait for more updates regarding Young Thug’s YSL RICO trial, another celebrity case has taken over the spotlight. Nearly five years after the tragic death of XXXTENTACION, the rapper’s murder suspects ate facing their day in court. Thus far, the details the jury has heard – including a video of the gruesome moment he was shot – are harrowing. At this time, more information only continues to come.

In this handout provided by the Miami Dade County Corrections, Rapper XXXTentacion, also known as Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy poses for his mugshot after being charged with seven new felonies stemming from a 2016 domestic violence case on December 15, 2017 in Miami, Florida. The new charges are for witness tampering and harassment. (Photo by Miami Dade County Corrections via Getty Images)

In a 2018 report, TMZ revealed that three of the four suspects knew each other beforehand. They also weren’t shy about flexing their money on social media. Weeks before X’s death, Dedrick Williams posted a video that sees him, Robert Allen, and Trayvon Newsome sifting through bills. Interestingly, Michael Boatwright wasn’t a part of these posts. However, he seemingly took a moment to pose with the money taken from the 20-year-old during the South Florida robbery.

Law&Crime Executive Producer Cathy Russon has been tweeting from the courtroom in the midst of this week’s trial. On Thursday (February 9), she had several updates to provide. Among them was Newsome yelling at Allen (who’s now acting as the state’s witness) while walking to the holding area. “There he is working with the police!” the former exclaimed. “You’re working with the white man now!”

Elsewhere in her coverage, the Twitter reporter revealed the aforementioned image of Boatright allegedly posing with money that was taken from XXXTENTACION just hours before. “Defendant turned state’s witness testifies this is X’s cash and photo taken after the homicide,” she explained in the caption. Another photo in the same thread sees Newsome smiling big while holding a stack of $100 bills in his hand.

“Pictures taken a couple days after #XXXTentacion murder. Shows defendant #MichaelBoatwright and #RobertAllen flashing a lot of cash,” Russon points out in another post. She also notes that the latter seen in the final photo has testified that the money belonged to the “Jocelyn Flores” artist. At the end of the thread, the journalist shares a picture of the gun Williams had on him during the assassination. This was also confirmed as per Allen.

Earlier this week, jurors also heard the Broward County native’s uncle recount the day of his death. As you may recall, X had his family member in the vehicle with him at the time of the tragic incident. Surprisingly, he even managed to make it out of his nephew’s luxury vehicle alive.
