Busta Rhymes’ Suspicious Weight Gain Goes Viral & Fans Are Conflicted

by

The internet is a confusing place, and it always will be. It is hard to tell what is real and what is fake anymore. That is the exact sentiment us and a lot of fans are sharing right now pertaining to a viral photo of Busta Rhymes suggesting some serious weight gain. A X user (formerly Twitter) by the name of dirtywhiteups shared an alleged accurate side-by-side comparison of the legendary rapper just 20 days apart. To the left you can see a slimmer Busta in a white polo. Then, on the right, it shows the Brooklyn spitter donning a baby blue turtleneck sweater with a noticeable gut. In the caption, dirtywhiteups writes, “These two photos of Busta Rhymes are 20 days apart. Ozempic: 0 Oxtail: 1”.

Right now, fans are pretty much split in half as to whether or not this image is real. Some are in utter shock, while others feel the image on the right is from a few years ago or so. A few were also joking around saying that it is “probably gas”. If you head over to Busta Rhymes’ Instagram, he has some posts from just over a week ago. In them, he does not look nearly the same as this alleged recent photo.

Furthermore, just over a month ago, Busta shared some flicks from the sideline of the New York Knicks home playoff game against the Indiana Pacers. In those he looked incredibly slim, and fans were quick to praise him for it. According to the Atlanta Black Star, Busta has not commented on his ever-changing weight gain/loss. However, like the tweet suggests, this could be a symptom of Ozempic withdrawal, which causes people to overeat and put on a substantial amount of weight if they are attempting to stop taking it. But Busta has not admitted to using Ozempic either, so we will not know unless he decides to clear things up.

What are your thoughts on Busta Rhymes’ apparent weight gain? Do you think this is real or fake and why? Should Busta respond to this viral photo going around, why or why not? 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 Busta Rhymes. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Halle Bailey Reveals Photoshopped Pregnancy Pictures Hiding Her Belly

by

Halle Bailey tried her best to hide her pregnancy with DDG for privacy, although fans still cracked the code eventually. Nonetheless, it’s still curious and impressive to see what lengths she and her team went to in order to shroud her image in secrecy. Moreover, the R&B star recently took to social media (specifically Snapchat) to recall a photoshoot in which they Photoshopped her belly out to lead folks astray. Unfortunately, her remarks don’t reveal who did this process for her, and a lot of fans believe that they deserve props for their successful efforts, even if other public appearances are what led fans to this theory.

“lmaooo do y’all remember seeing this pics on my insta?” Halle Bailey captioned a video of the photoshoot. “we photoshopped out my belly [laughing emojis].” Of course, she’s sharing a lot about her post-pregnancy body right now, so it’s only natural she would want to look back on her journey up to this point. After all, the Georgia native dealt with a lot of comments on her figure during the heights of her pregnancy speculation, and the truth behind it didn’t make people’s assumptions any easier to deal with. Some were harsher than others, but they let her know early on that there was a lot of interest in her love life.

Furthermore, a lot of people seem offended by Halle Bailey’s decision to keep her personal life private. For example, many folks outwardly declined to give her requested advice on breast pumping because they find it hypocritical considering that she didn’t make her journey public. Many fans came to the 23-year-old’s defense concerning this, justifying her right to share whatever she wants to share. It’s a bit of an odd debate to have of a celebrity, but we can understand both sides of the aisle given their detachment from her personal life.

Meanwhile, with new music on the way from Chlöe X Halle, we’re looking forward to this new phase of their career. They developed their individual paths a lot last year in many different areas, and to see them reunite will be a treat. Hopefully this is something that the duo doesn’t keep secret for much longer. For more news and the latest updates on Halle Bailey, stick around on HNHH.

Rubi Rose Admits To Photoshopping Photos, Claims “Almost All” Girls Do The Same

by

As technology becomes increasingly advanced, it’s easier than ever for internet users to alter their images with platforms like FaceApp or Photoshop. While it’s not unreasonable to remove distracting objects from the background or brighten a smile here and there, the lengths that some go to to enhance their looks is extreme. Some celebrities have been caught up in embarrassing editing blunders over the years, but others have an extreme talent for subtly switching up seemingly minute details on their body or face. Among the latter category is Rubi Rose, who recently confirmed that she does make changes to her selfies every now and then.

“I photoshop my pictures,” the Kentucky native admitted on Big Facts Pod. “I tell people that too, so maybe that might throw them off sometimes,” Rose further explained. According to her, “almost all girls” make edits to the content they post online in some capacity. Unsurprisingly, a lot of women are disputing her message in @thejasminebrand’s comment section.

Rubi Rose Reveals Some of Her IG Uploads Are Altered

“Chile the average girl doesn’t know how to Photoshop lol,” one person wrote. “Don’t put us in it.” Elsewhere, others argued that using the popular filters available on platforms like TikTok and IG are no different than professionally editing your appearance on the Adobe platform. “She’s right, using a filter is a type of Photoshop,” another user chimed in. “It’s okay, magazines have been doing it for decades,” they pointed out.

Though she admits to enhancing her photos when she feels they need it, Rubi Rose has never been one to concern herself with the larger risks and commitments that come with plastic surgery. Instead, she constantly reminds us that her slim thick body is “natural asf” in her never-ending thirst traps. See some of her spiciest summer thirst traps at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Gunna Photoshopped Onto Donald Trump Mugshot

by

Two notorious legal cases are developing in Fulton County, Georgia, with wildly different parameters, implications, and public narratives. One is the YSL RICO case, involving Young Thug and- for a couple of months prior to a plea deal- Gunna and many other collective members. The other is one of four criminal cases against former president Donald Trump, this RICO one referring to election interference in the state. The Internet and social media recently shattered when 45’s mugshot released online, and people made countless jokes and memes about it already. Moreover, one of these links these two cases in an unconventional way.

DJ Akademiks recently posted a picture of Gunna superimposed onto Donald Trump’s mugshot, and asked “Who made this?” Many fans thought he was baiting or trying to make something random and small a hit, with responses like “that was you AK” and “I didn’t laugh button.” Regardless, it’s still a kind of funny image considering the controversial context behind the rapper’s incarceration and release. It’s a purely context-based meme, and one that unwittingly equates a murky and contested RICO case with one of the most scandalous and damning crime stories of the past few years- or, at least, since news of Trump’s other indictments broke.

Gunna In Trump Mugshot Format

What’s more is that there’s actually more connections to make between these cases, believe it or not. Just goes to show that there are some news stories with absolutely no predictable “Trump crossover” bingo card available. Gunna and the disgraced political figure actually share the same lawyer, at least regarding these specific Fulton County cases. Rather, Trump hired the same lawyer that got the College Park MC off the hook.

Meanwhile, the same person, District Attorney Fani Willis, brought both of these RICO cases forward and wants to see them completed with justice. That’s a tough term to use in relation to YSL, as slow jury selection, lack of bond, and multiple antics and controversies have muddled the case for better or worse. In Trump’s case, it’s accountability that many people wanted to see following the 2020 election, but will surely have its ups and downs, too. Overall, sometimes there is more to memes than meets the eye- even if Akademiks might’ve just ghostwrote it to not deal with negative feedback. Still, come back to HNHH for more big news on Trump and the latest updates on Gunna.

Julia Fox & Grimes Discuss Dangers Of Photoshop For Celebrities

by

Some celebrities, such as the Kardashian-Jenner sisters, are constantly being called out for Photoshop fails on Instagram. Others, like Julia Fox, are now using their platforms to discuss the dangers of altering images – especially when celebrities do it without offering any form of transparency. For the latest episode of her Forbidden Fruits podcast, the mother of one sat down with co-host Niki Takesh and Canadian artist Grimes to discuss the future of artificial intelligence, as well as some of the problems that can come with such advanced technology.

“A lot of celebrities Photoshop their images, so girls have unrealistic expectations, like, ‘Why can’t I look like that?’” the Uncut Gems actress pointed out. While normal people may envy their favourite stars, Fox cautioned listeners, “Boo, they don’t even look like that!” Grimes then chimed in with, “Yeah I feel like the idea that the average person is a 10 right now is very impressive if you’re a kid… It’s very concerning, it’s the most irresponsible thing tech is doing right now.” From Fox’s perspective, the new features constantly coming out are “demonic.”

Of course, the Italian-born starlet has previously been candid about undergoing plastic surgery herself. Seeing as she’s been transparent about having liposuction and Botox, fans have commended Fox for her realness. The problem seems to lie with those who aren’t straightforward about the work they’ve had done, or the alternations they make to their Instagram uploads, leaving followers to desperately desire to be or lust after something that isn’t even real. Following today’s episode, the “Player of Games” songstress will be back for another appearance later this month, likely to spill more tech tea.

Others who have already been interviewed by Julia Fox and Nikki Takesh include Emily Ratajkowski, Amber Rose, and Billy McFarland, who was the first official guest on the podcast’s second season back in March. Tap into part one of Grimes’ Forbidden Fruits interview exclusively on Spotify below. Afterward, tell us if you also have fears surrounding the future of AI in the comments.

Latto Denies Coachella Crowd Photoshop Allegations

by

Latto gave what’s been labelled as undoubtedly one of the most exciting performances at Coachella weekend one on Sunday (April 16). Still, that hasn’t stopped haters from trying to find any possible flaws. On Monday, the reality star celebrated her major W with a photo dump shared on Twitter. It consists of selfies, snapshots of her outfit, and finally, an enormous crowd watching on as she stood in front of them. Not long after her post went up, Latto was hit with zoomed in screenshots of the bottom right image. Upon inspection, some are accusing her of photoshopping it to make the audience at her show look bigger.

“That crowd tho! Wow. Goals 🙏,” one person wrote along with receipts that show them same face in the crowd twice. This hate train isn’t as massive as others Latto has conquered as of late. However, it’s likely exhausting for her to take on such constant criticism nonetheless. Thankfully, the 24-year-old is an undeniably resiliant spirit, and often addresses the gossip circulating about her online with a tough attitude. After seeing the negative response to her “LATTOCHELLA” post, she took thinks over to Instagram to speak her mind with a Story.

Latto Shares Photos from Coachella

“Never photoshopped a crowd lmao, I expanded it so it would fit in my Instagram swipe without getting cut off,” the Atlanta-based artist wrote earlier this afternoon. “It was clearly f*cked up so I didn’t end up using it and just posted the wrong version by accident on Twitter babes 🥰. Next,” Latto’s message ended. Since she’s spoken out, it seems as though many are taking the “Lottery” hitmaker’s side in the spat, calling the behaviour of those accusing her of editing “weird.”

“This is just weird in general… Everyone knows how packed Coachella is,” one IG user wrote in @theneighborhoodtalk’s comments. “I saw videos from a fan in the crowd from her set. Idk how she can do it, y’all be hating on these female rappers like crazy! They can’t make a mistake, gotta be perfect etc. I’d be tired if I was her.” Read more about what went down during Latto’s performance here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Nicki Minaj Responds To Cardi B Fans’ Photoshop Job

by

Nicki Minaj might be ramping up for a new era in her career but still, some feuds from the past continue to haunt her, namely Cardi B. Since the “Bodak Yellow” star emerged with a breakout hit, she and Nicki Minaj have struggled to co-exist in peace. It’s not as common to see multiple women dominate hip-hop at the same time as it is with their male counterparts. While Nicki does have a legendary status, she hasn’t necessarily done a great job of embracing the generation that came after her.

After Nicki shared the “Red Ruby Da Sleeze” music video trailer, Nicki found herself facing off against Bardi Gang. Cardi’s devoted fanbase couldn’t help but troll the “Super Freaky Girl” due to an apparent photoshop fail. Fans noticed the image curved. Eventually, the call-out landed on Nicki’s page, where she unleashed on the Bronx MC. “Photoshop them bars,” she wrote in reference to Cardi’s writers. “Photoshop them sales,” she added after Queen Radio Vol. 1 extended its record as the longest-running female rap project released in 2022 on the Billboard 200.

Nicki Minaj Targets Cardi B Or Megan Thee Stallion?

The Queen is back in action and she’s making it known that her five year hiatus is officially done. It’s been half a decade since Queen dropped but with her forthcoming project, she insists that she’s coming for it all. “2023 not the year to play wit ONIKA TANYA MARAJ PETTY RED RUBY DA MF SLEEZE CHUN-Li NICKI MINAJ NICKI DA NINJA NICK DA HARAJUKU BARBIE. 40. Yup. 40’s wit 30 clips. FN’s wit da switch” she tweeted.

While Russ applauded Nicki’s consistency, others felt as though Nicki’s tweets may have targeted one of her adversaries besides Cardi B. Over the past few months, Nicki’s relationship with Megan Thee Stallion crumbled but it was a flurry of bars on “Red Ruby Da Sleeze” that were suspected of targeting Meg. On the song, Nicki seemingly makes references to the Tory Lanez trial, as well as the most obvious bar where she raps that she hasn’t “f*cked with horses since Christopher Reeves.”  Check out Nicki’s tweets below.
