Gabrielle Union Finally Responds To Plastic Surgery Speculation

Gabrielle Union recently held a meet and greet promoting her Larry Sims partnership with JCPenny, the SlimStyled experience. Specifically, she spoke to PEOPLE about her preferred hairstyles in order to look a little more youthful, which led to some remarks about fan gossip. Moreover, Dwyane Wade’s longtime partner spoke on folks’ rumors that she got plastic surgery. “A high pony for a lady of a certain age is like a facelift,” she remarked. “As much as what happens or doesn’t happen with my face is speculated, if you can’t be missing for six months to get a facelift — which I’ve never been missing for six months, get it right — the high pony is going to snatch you here.

“A pony here is going to snatch you here,” Gabrielle Union added, gesturing towards the middle of her head. “And a low [pony], here [points to back of neck].” So it looks like she did not have any work done at all, and even if she had, that doesn’t make her any less stunning or worthy of loving herself. Union’s been having a pretty great 2024 all things considered, even stopping by Megan Thee Stallion and GloRilla’s tour earlier this year to have an awesome time.

However, this was also a relatively spicy year for Gabrielle Union in the headlines, given what many fans assumed about her relationship with her peers. If you didn’t hear, fans saw that she liked a tweet that seemed to shade Vivica A. Fox in response to her comments about Taraji P. Henson. In particular, Henson complained about unfair play in Hollywood concerning issues of gender and race.

That whole situation never really cleared up, so we can probably assume that everyone involved resolved their issues privately or it was never an issue to begin with. Regardless, none of that probably bothered Gabrielle Union in the first place. Not even these plastic surgery rumors can inspire that much ire, as she has plenty of experience in clapping back at trolls who criticize her looks. So we’ll see whether other Internet speculation gets an answer or if it’s all just noise.

MIA Accuses Jay-Z Of Telling Her To Get Plastic Surgery

Recently, MIA hopped online to open up about her experience working with Jay-Z. According to her, once she signed a deal with Roc Nation, he allegedly advised her to get plastic surgery. Ultimately, she decided not to, as she felt secure with herself. “Even when I met Jay-Z and I signed to Roc Nation, the first thing he told me to do is get plastic surgery,” she began.

MIA continued, shutting down claims that she was insecure, arguing that she would have changed her appearance if she had been. “I’m not insecure because I would have got plastic surgery,” she said. “So their argument of ‘Maya’s insecure, that’s why she needs to massage her ego,’ fails. It fails because you turn around and ask… What women do you know who hasn’t had plastic surgery around you? All of them have. I’m the only one who didn’t.”

MIA Explains Decision Not To Get Plastic Surgery

“If I was insecure, I would have done that a hundred times over,” she added. “I’m totally fine with the fact that I am [50], because guess what? I f*cking took off when I was 30. It took 10 more f*cking years than any other f*cker because I was the first and I was the new. I was making something interesting happen that wasn’t f*cking happening before.” Fans are praising MIA for sticking to what she felt comfortable with, and not conforming despite the pressure allegedly placed on her by people in power. At the time of writing, Jay-Z has not addressed these accusations.

MIA isn’t the only artist to look back on their early experiences with Jay-Z recently, however. In a new episode of J Cole’s Inevitable series, he accused the mogul of telling Drake to give him a hit in front of both of them and others. “We’re all like ‘what?’” Cole recalled. “I even remember Future’s face being like, that’s embarrassing.”

Erica Banks Details “Excruciating” Recovery From Second BBL

Erica Banks has been making plenty of headlines in recent months, due in part to her cosmetic procedures. The rapper underwent her second BBL late last year, which sparked a major debate among social media users. She began receiving hate from those claiming she took her enhancements too far, though she appears to be unfazed by the criticism.

While Banks isn’t paying haters any mind, she did decide to open up about some of the downsides of the procedure during a recent interview. She told B High ATL that the recovery came with a lot of pain, which took several months to go away. Banks recalled preparing for surgery by watching videos of others getting it done, which scared her.

Erica Banks Reflects On Recovering From Her Second BBL

Ultimately, however, she still decided to go through with the surgery because she felt the reward would outweigh the risk. “The healing process and going through it, like, the first day until you’re healed is hell,” she explained. “Probably the worst pain I’ve ever experienced in my whole life… The first day, I passed out.” Banks went on, recalling the months after her surgery. “The pain is just excruciating, you know, cuz the inside of your body is like brutalized,” she said. “It took a while. I probably didn’t stop hurting all the way until like April, and I got my surgery in December. I just stopped hurting in April.”

Banks continued, noting that while her backside does feel heavy at times, she’s not yet struggling with any back pain.

It’s no secret that it’s been an incredibly busy couple of years for Sexyy Red. Aside from continuing to take over the charts with her catchy singles and high-profile collabs, the “Pound Town” performer also expanded her family. A few months back, she welcomed her second child. Of course, she used the concept of the birth for her “Rich Baby Daddy” video with Drake and SZA, which has unsurprisingly racked up millions of views.

She was also recently rumored to appear in viral footage of a nasty airport brawl and get arrested for it, though she insists it wasn’t her. Sexyy even prompted speculation that she’s in a relationship with Chief Keef with some suggestive selfies, forcing her to shut down fans’ theories with yet another suggestive post. Amid all of this, the femcee decided to take some time for herself earlier this week, and fans can’t blame her. She did so by treating herself to a boob job, which she showed off in a new photo shared on Twitter/X today.

Yung Miami Is Not Convinced Drake Got A BBL: “That’s A Lot Of A**”

Amid Drake’s infamous “20 v. 1” feud, Rick Ross accused him of undergoing plastic surgery, giving him the nickname “BBL Drizzy.” As the battle progressed, Metro Boomin invited artists from around the world to jump in over his beat of the same name, offering a huge cash prize to whoever’s finished product he liked the most. Drake himself even recently decided to hop on the viral beat alongside Sexyy Red, on a track from her new EP “U My Everything.” He flipped the phrase in his favor, claiming that while he doesn’t have a BBL, lucky ladies looking to tweak their appearances go to him for funding.

Of course, most don’t believe that Drake actually underwent the procedure, and instead use the humorous nickname just to mock the Toronto-born performer and suggest he’s fake. Either way, Yung Miami gave her analysis of the rumors during a recent interview with Complex. According to her, there’s no way he got a BBL, as it would be strikingly obvious if he did.

Yung Miami Prefers Men With No A**

“Do you know what a BBL is?” she asked interviewer Yedoye Travis. “That’s a lot of a**. A BBL is a big a**.” The City Girl went on to share her take on men in general getting the procedure, revealing that she’s personally not a fan. “I don’t want no man with no a**,” she explained. “No, it can’t be like an a** a**.”

While Yung Miami herself prefers her men with little to no junk in the trunk, she encourages people to do whatever they choose with their own appearances, reminding them that “we’ve all gotta die one day.” What do you think of Yung Miami shutting down rumors that Drake has a BBL? Do you agree with her or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Does Megan Thee Stallion Have A Nose Job? Rap Diva Denies Rhinoplasty Rumours

As an Aquarius, Megan Thee Stallion is all about truth. Of course, the Houston native isn’t the good guy in everyone’s story, but she’s always moved in ways that feel most empowering for her and dealt with the consequences accordingly. Her relationship with Pardison Fontaine was a favourite to romanticize on social media, though the nasty aftermath of their lowkey break-up proves plenty was unfolding behind the scenes that Thee Hotties were unaware of. In a diss track dropped amid the beef, Fontaine accused his ex of undergoing lipo. She failed to address these allegations, but earlier this week, the black-haired beauty went live to shut down other rumours about her.

During a seemingly tipsy dinner with friends, Thee Stallion denied having rhinoplasty surgery to alter her nose. “I never read the comments,” she tells those dining with her in the video below. “You know I’m gorgeous,” Tina Snow hyped herself up, rocking huge hoop earrings and a low-cut black top. “She’s gorgeous,” her company for the evening echoed off-camera. “They be like, ‘Oh my God, she got her nose done.’ No, f**k y’all. Y’all h**s wish I got my nose done,” Meg told the camera while playing with her chopsticks.

“That’s right, you work too much. When would you even have downtime,” a male voice points out. “Y’all h**s need to comprehend how much recovery surgery take,” Thee Stallion ranted. She’s obviously been busy planning her upcoming tour with GloRilla, hitting the studio to record her album, and keeping up with all the drama unfolding between her contemporaries.

From an astrological perspective, we can explain the recent rise in hip-hop beef with the transition of various planets from watery, emotional Pisces into fiery, short-tempered Aries. People are all the more likely to say harsh things they regret in this pressure cooker of energy, such as J Cole dissing Kendrick Lamar and what’s been transpiring between the City Girls.

Does Monica Have A BBL? “The Boy Is Mine” Singer Addresses Speculation

In the music industry today, BBLs are virtually as common as recording contracts. Most of our favourite rap divas have undergone plastic surgery procedures to physically enhance themselves, be it breast augmentations, butt injections, or tummy tucks. Of course, each individual is free to do what they want with their body, but dishonesty about what’s natural and what’s fake has left a bad taste in some fan’s mouths. Presently, BBLs are so popular that the internet seems to have a hard time discerning who’s gone under the knife, and who’s been in the gym. Genre-bending artist Monica is the latest to be flooded with accusations of getting her body done, which she openly addressed on social media.

As AllHipHop reports, “The Boy Is Mine” hitmaker graced the stage at Tycoon Music Festival in Atlanta last week (February 13). After her performance, social media sleuths shared videos online pointing to Monica’s curvaceous behind in her green, velvet costume. “If Monica got a BBL I don’t like it, [because] her a** sittin’ higher than Jesus,” one Twitter/X user wrote. “It’s giving d relly where the money reside booty.” When the 43-year-old got wind of the comments she had no problem addressing them during an Instagram Live session yesterday (February 19).

“Y’all got jokes,” she told viewers. “Let me tell you something. My health is far too bad to be playing like that. For me a BBL would mean bought by Linda,” Monica added, referencing her stylist’s ability to make her figure look effortlessly snatched. “Mama don’t play! I won’t even get lash extensions; I still wear strips I can rip off. I done kept it real with y’all so long y’all forgot.”

Before she was allowed to join Nicki Minaj on her upcoming tour, Monica candidly expressed online that she felt forgotten by the music industry. We’re curious to see how helping to promote Pink Friday 2 might revitalize her career, especially now that the internet has so much to say about her body.

Azealia Banks Claims Nicki Minaj’s Butt Proves She’s Broke

Amid Nicki Minaj and the Barbz’s heated feud with Megan Thee Stallion and her Hotties, countless fans have been calling on Azealia Banks to chime in. The NYC native is known to air her unfiltered opinions on social media, and was sure to have a hot take on the beef. She also has a rocky history with both Nicki and Meg, making it a mystery who she’d be siding with amid the fallout of “Hiss.”

Fortunately for those thirsty for some hot tea, Banks came through with an expectedly harsh read on social media yesterday, making it clear that she’s on Meg’s team. She had quite a bit to say about the “Everybody” MC’s personal life, career, and even her body.

Azealia Banks Roasts Nicki Minaj

In a new clip, she claims that there’s no doubt that Nicki’s financially “f*cked up,” arguing that her booty is a major giveaway. “You can tell just by whatever keeps happening with Nicki’s butt that she’s f*cked up right now. Because there’s something very f*cking wrong with the butt, and I don’t know what it is. But, I do know that the surgery to get that sh*t out of there is a pretty penny,” Banks says. She continues, claiming that Nicki’s procedure would be especially tough. “That’s a very tedious thing, and it’s also a very risky procedure that she can’t afford to have right now,” she claims.

Unfortunately, Banks was far from finished with Nicki. She went on to call her out for defending her brother, dub her husband Kenneth Petty a “rapist,” and state that she’d feel “st*pid” if she were her right now.

Erica Banks’ BBL Enhancement Is Giving New Body: Video

Like most rising rappers in their mid-20s, life for Erica Banks isn’t always easy. Of course, there are perks like going to lavish parties with huge stars and countless business opportunities to grow your bank account. However, those don’t outweigh the cons that come with being a public figure, which the “Buss It” artist is all too familiar with. Among some of her biggest beefs have been with ex-boyfriend Finesse2tymes and 1501 Certified Entertainment CEO Carl Crawford, both of which exploded on social media earlier in 2023.

Now that the “How to Act” hitmaker is busy with his pregnant fiancee, FNG Shugga, Banks is enjoying playing the field. She and L&HH co-star Khaotic have an interesting arrangement between them, but the 25-year-old is still comfortable flaunting her surgically enhanced figure for any potential suitors to admire. Earlier in December, the reality starlet tweeted about going under the knife again. “BBL round two ain’t no h*e 🥴,” she wrote at the time. “But hey, the body is even more 🫖.”

Earlier this week, we got to see Banks’ new body in action as she stepped out for a local event. In the video above, someone behind the Southern starlet recorded her walking, proving that her behind is substantially more stacked than before. In her light grey leggings and matching top, Erica’s hourglass shape looked even more snatched, though some are suggesting she now resembles an IMVU character.

Even before Erica Banks decided to get a second round of butt enhancements, she was already a pro at throwing it back for her fans to drool over. In the fall, she captured plenty of sexy moments on camera from her trip to Tulum, including some twerking along to one of Sexyy Red’s biggest hits. Revisit those antics at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Finesse2tymes’ Plastic Surgery Has Him Feeling Like “Finesse2Fine”

We’ve seen Finesse2tymes making plenty of big changes in his life as of late, and while there’s a lot he’s open about with his social media followers, some things, the “How to Act” hitmaker chooses to keep private. His recent experience undergoing plastic surgery seems to be one of those, however, one of the rapper’s former lovers outed him in a heated social media post, claiming that he either underwent a BBL or liposuction. “My 🌈 a** ex going through a mental breakdown because he’s on ‘downtime’ from getting his BBL or lipo or whatever you wanna call it,” she wrote on her Instagram Story earlier this week.

“He need to worry bout his girlfriend (baby mama) takin 💊’s,” Finesse’s ex alleged in her post. “I been gone from round y’all for months! Why still worry bout me? Worry about healing from the BBL you just got.” Many men would be angry to have allegations running rampant like this. Instead, the Southern recording artist only confirmed the rumours and made it clear that he’s expecting to be looking his best once he’s finished recovery.

“Lipo and BBL 2 [different] things 😂,” the 31-year-old clarified on Facebook on Tuesday (November 14). “When I pop out they gone call me Finesse2Fine,” he added, clearly already seeing the results from his surgery. Though he didn’t clarify exactly which procedure he underwent, we’re eager to hear whatever Finesse has to share about his decision and the preparation process.

Now that Finesse2tymes has cleared two of his three girlfriends out of his life, he’s able to fully focus on FNG Shugga, who’s expecting one of his children. She’s already showing serious dedication to her boo by getting a portrait of his face in ink. We’re curious to see which of them their baby will resemble the most.
