Now I’m competing. Now I’m entering the race. 15 years, I’ve been doing this shit a long time.” He continued: “I remember the excitement about my first album coming out and here we are. Y’all are still excited about my shit coming out. It’s a beautiful thing.”

Jon Zherka Asks Adam22 How Much Money He & Lena The Plug Made Off Viral Tape

by

One of the most unexpectedly viral pop culture stories this year is the now-infamous Lena The Plug and Jason Luv tape. For those unaware, sorry to burden you with this, but the two adult actors lit the Internet on fire because it was Lena’s first time making a film with someone other than her husband, Adam22. Moreover, it’s been a controversial subject, not just because of infighting between the three (or rather, Luv against the couple), but also because of people debating whether Adam should’ve let this happen. Another popular and controversial influencer, Jon Zherka, asked the No Jumper host on his podcast about this.

Specifically, their conversation centered at one point around how much money the couple made off the tape. Adam22 did not reveal this, but he did ask Zherka: “What it if was a billion?” Then, he reacted in disbelief, saying that he wouldn’t let his wife do that, even for a billion dollars. In fact, Zherka even brought up the fact that they have a child together in his remarks. Furthermore, he said that Adam doesn’t look fazed by it, and that Lena will probably end up getting more of a psychological weight on her as a result.

Adam22 Won’t Say How Much Money He & Lena The Plug Made

In addition to this discussion, they also referred to the tape through other, slightly more comical subtopics. For example, Jon Zherka even offered to fight Jason Luv in Adam22’s stead amid their beef as a result of this tape. However, when they got to analyzing the actor’s size and strength, Zherka came to a hilarious realization. Right after he had set himself up as Adam’s champion, he said that he probably wouldn’t be able to fight him.

Meanwhile, this is something that pretty much every No Jumper guest is going to want to ask Adam about. Maybe they won’t address it at all, but it’s hard to ignore that it’s a massive elephant in the room these days. At some point, it’ll die down and everyone involved will continue their careers with no fuss. Until then, though, everyone’s still invested in the drama and wants to throw their thoughts into this debate. With that in mind, stay posted on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Adam22 and Lena The Plug.

DaBaby Speaks On Not Feeling Entitled Due To His Come-Up

by

DaBaby has been through a lot of career ups and downs, whether that was early on in his career or during his peak. Regardless, he recently explained how that come-up doesn’t make him feel entitled to anything these days. Moreover, the Charlotte MC recently sat down for a conversation with Gillie Da Kid and Wallo267 on the Million Dollaz Worth Of Game podcast. In it, Baby spoke on his early shows, the grind that he would dedicate himself to constantly, and their effect on him as an artist. Furthermore, it speaks to the impact of those first hundred performances and the lasting context that it provided him with.

“I done paid my dues, bro,” DaBaby began his remarks to Gillie and Wallo. “I done performed at hole in the wall s**ts and all that. I got my documentary coming, too. But, yeah, it’ll have s**t in there where you see me performing for three people. That’s why even, you know, when s**t go left or I go through a little slump and s**t, motherf***ers think I’m one of these n***as who, like, entitled to instant gratification.

DaBaby Reflects On His Early Days

“Just entitled to a bunch of goddamn smiles and kisses and… N***a, f**k no,” DaBaby continued. “I do this s**t, like, I do this s**t. I done performed probably about a hundred times for less than goddamn a hundred people. You see what I’m saying? Probably more than a hundred times, facts. I ain’t have no voice. After every show, I ain’t have no voice the next day. I’m running around [raspy voice] ‘talking like this’ and s**t. N***as thinking I’m sick. I’m like, ‘Nah, n***a, I just done left it all on the floor last night.’ You know what I mean? I been jumping off that b***h, jumping off the stage.”

Meanwhile, he also gave the podcast moguls their flowers for all their hard work and dedication to the game. Overall, it was quite an enlightening interview with one of the more controversial but also hard-working rappers in recent years. Despite his past actions, it’s clear that he will continue to try to best himself; hopefully, that keeps translating into personal growth, as well. For more news and the latest updates on DaBaby, check back in with HNHH.

Rick Ross On “Drink Champs”: Biggest Boss Talks Past Beef, Upcoming Car Show, And More

by

N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN have had an incredible string of guests on their Drink Champs podcast over the past few weeks. Wiz Khalifa, Jadakiss, and Robin Thicke have all dropped by the studio to enjoy some drinks and answer burning questions, though none of them come close to topping today’s star – Rick Ross. This isn’t the Mississippi-born artist’s first appearance on the REVOLT series, but they have certainly stepped their game up since his last visit three years ago. Since then, Rozay has also stepped his game up, which he made sure to talk about in his latest interview.

Spanning over two-and-a-half hours, the Richer Than I Ever Been artist touched on a variety of hot topics during his second Drink Champs stint. Among them were his business ventures with companies like Wingstop (where he recently encouraged Don Lemon to apply), as well as his past beef, childhood inspiration, and upcoming car show. Speaking of the latter, Ross made it clear that he’s not looking at DJ Envy’s quickly approaching event of a similar nature as competition. Rather, he supports The Breakfast Club‘s endeavour to raise money for the family left behind by the late Young Dolph.

Rick Ross Returns to Drink Champs

“Envy was never on my level to battle,” the 47-year-old playfully teased when comparing their two events. “I wouldn’t do that to Envy. I like Envy and I f**k with Envy, but in the car game he not ready for that, but I support that shit,” Ross clarified. The New Yorker’s car show is scheduled to take place the weekend before the Biggest Boss’, which will also include a performance from him and Lil Wayne.

The father of four is obviously excited about his big day, but some of his neighbours have made it abundantly clear they’re not on the same page. A few weeks back, a group put forth a motion in hopes of shutting the multihyphenate down. As iHeart notes, the Fulton County Board of Commissioners heard the concerned citizens out but has not made moves to cancel the car show at this time. Check out Rick Ross’ full Drink Champs appearance above, and let us know who you want Noreaga and DJ EFN to interview next in the comments.

Jim Jones Says Dr. Dre “Punked” Him During Dipset Studio Session

by

Jim Jones recently incited some potential bad blood between Dipset and Dr. Dre after saying he’ll charge the star producer $2 million if he ever releases the songs they recorded together. Moreover, these revelations came from an interview with The Amazing AllHipHop podcast. While the Harlem MC recalled a “great night” in the studio with Dre, he went on to express some harbored feelings of frustration. “That was a great night in Hip Hop, a great night for the Diplomats,” the “We Fly High” hitmaker expressed. “I had a little studio on 28th street, and Dr. Dre was trying to recreate his new sound for his new album at the time, and we had that sound. Came to my studio, me and Cam did like four records in there. Juelz came and did a record at the end.

“We did about four or five records with Dr. Dre,” Jim Jones continued. “I don’t know what he ever did with the records. Yeah, he did them directly to his hard drive so we had a copy of it to listen to and s**t like that. Truthfully, he better not put it out ’cause I’m charging $2 million for my verse.

Jim Jones Felt Punked By Dr. Dre

“It was the first time I ever had somebody really make me do my verse over like 20 times. The first time I got a piece of that, it had made me think about 2Pac and Snoop. All the others that had to get the beats from Dre. Dre was punking n***as like, ‘Man, go back in there and spit that s**t over, bro. You bugging the f**k out.’ Every time he told me, ‘Nah nah, do that over, man.’

“Like bro, you’re cursing at me,” the Diplomat stated. “You don’t even know you’re cursing at me. You’re punking the s**t outta me right now. ’Cause n***as is looking at me like, ‘You’re telling Capo to do his s**t over? This is crazy.’ N***a, you f***ing it up for me.” Regardless of those studio woes, we’ll see if this manifests into a reconciliation and a release. For the latest on this story, stick around on HNHH for the latest on Dr. Dre and Jim Jones.

Amber Rose & Julia Fox Discuss Dating Kanye West In New “Forbidden Fruits” Episode: Watch

by

The list of women who have been involved with Kanye West throughout his career certainly isn’t short. In the early days of his rise to fame, the father of four was previously on and off with designer Alexis Phifer and spent a brief period with Harlem Heights star Brooke Crittendon. Not long after those ended is when his first high-profile relationship, with Amber Rose, caught the public’s attention. They were also making up and breaking up from 2008 to 2010, though some of their most iconic fashion moments remain imprinted in the brains of pop culture fanatics everywhere.

Following that romance came the birth of Kimye as Kim Kardashian dissolved her 72-day marriage to Kris Humphries in 2012. In December of that same year, the socialite announced her pregnancy with their first child, which the “All of the Lights” rapper followed up with a proposal. They went on to welcome three more children, though their marriage was unable to stand the test of time and ultimately ended in 2022. West went on to spend time with models like Irina Shayk and Candice Swanepoel, though it was his short-lived union with Julia Fox that really had the masses talking.

What’s it Really Like to Date Kanye West?

As the second season of her Forbidden Fruits podcast kicks off, the Uncut Gems actress welcomed Rose onto the show to discuss what it was like to date the 45-year-old. At one point, the OnlyFans creator recalled West offering to come to a close family member’s funeral with her, which she adamantly refused. “I called Kanye like, ‘F*ck, I need a ticket home right now. My aunt just died, she’s like my favourite person on Earth,” she shared. “He was like, ‘I’ll come to Philly with you. I’ll come to the funeral, whatever you need.’ And I was like, ‘You can’t come to the funeral. The whole [thing] is gonna be about you.”

“Not you pulling up to your auntie’s funeral with Kanye West,” co-host Niki Takesh joked. “You know he’d find the AUX cord, and he’d start playing his new song, Julia Fox chimed in with a laugh. Elsewhere in this week’s episode, the Forbidden Fruits personalities and Rose discuss how she “ascended to fame on her own terms” while correcting some of the misconceptions around her come-up.

Macklemore’s Daughter, Sloane, Attends AA Meetings With Him: “I Don’t Want To Hide That”

by

Like so many others in the public eye, Macklemore has become accustomed to having little privacy. Thankfully, this seems to be something he’s learned to embrace, especially with his family. The Kent-born artist has always been candid about his past substance abuse struggles, but in an interview earlier this month, he revealed that his older daughter, 7-year-old Sloane Haggerty, attends Alcoholics Anonymous meetings alongside him.

“Sloane’s been to meetings with me. She asks me questions like, “Daddy, how’s your sober meetings going?” We talk about it,” he shared on the Audacy Check-In podcast last Friday (March 3). “And I don’t want to hide that because it’s not something that I need to feel guilt or shame or secrecy around. The whole intention is to put it out into the open… I’m not a finished product. This is what I’m working on. These are my struggles,” Macklemore proudly explained.

Sobriety Slip-Up

While he’s obviously in a much better place now, the “Thrift Shop” hitmaker previously admitted that the COVID-19 pandemic is what led to his unfortunate relapse. “I am a recovering addict and alcoholic and have been for the last 14 years,” he told audiences at The Tonight Show during a recent appearance. “A big part of my recovery community is going to physical 12-step meetings,” he noted, going on to mention that a lack of access to these services was seriously detrimental to him.

“I was alone, and the disease of addiction was like, ‘Yo, this is crazy. The world has stopped; you can get high,’” Macklemore added. His relapse was thankfully short-lived but has left him with trust issues to work through “within [himself] and within [his] close circle of friends.” Above all, the most important lesson learned by the 39-year-old is that “whatever [he] puts in front of my recovery will be the first thing that [he] loses.”

Macklemore’s BEN Album

After working through his issues with addiction, the father of three poured his energy into creating art. Countless studio sessions and collaborations with friends both new and old led to the creation of his long-awaited follow-up to 2017’s GEMINI. Revisit Macklemore’s new BEN album here, and tap back in with HNHH later for more pop culture news updates.

Boosie Badazz Reveals He Charges $40K For Podcast Interviews, Prefers Them Over Club Hostings

by

Boosie Badazz just revealed that he charges $40K for his now iconic and quite frequent podcast interviews. Moreover, he also said that he prefers to make his money that way, rather than by participating in club hostings. While he admitted that venue walkthroughs and similar appearances might net him more money, he’d rather be cautious. After all, being in a cramped and amped public space like that is a headache even if you’re not a celebrity. As the Louisiana rapper explained, he’s very particular about where, when, and with who he decides to offer himself up to media, business, or entertainment.

“I can make 30, 40 thousand to sit on a couch to talk,” Boosie explained. “That’s way safer than that club with all them guns in that b***h, gotta leave the club. [I’m] in front of somebody who ain’t gon’ hurt me. I think y’all should be happy I’m doing podcasts. I’mma live [way longer] doing podcasts. Way less danger doing podcasts. Would you rather do a show for 60 or podcast for 45? I made that decision the other day. I took the 45 over the 60. The 60 I had to pay for flights, hotels, going to a dangerous a** city. S**t about being careful, man. I can sit for 45 minutes on a couch and just talk s**t. 40 something thousand dollars, I mean, that’s a blessing bro.”

Boosie Talks Charging $40K For Podcast Talks Over Hostings

Of course, the 40-year-old stirred the pot with his interviews on multiple occasions, whether on standard podcasts or less defined media. For example, he called out T.I. in a recent interview with VladTV for allegedly snitching on his dead cousin. “If he did that, you’re a f***in’ rat, too,” he said. “I don’t spare no-motherf***in’-body… if you cooperate with law enforcement to get you out of trouble… that means you’re a rat.” Also, he canceled their joint album.

Since then, the two engaged in some heated back-and-forths, although it’s mostly been T.I. taking the shots. Recently, he called Boosie out for skipping an invitation to a live show where he had paperwork to prove his story’s truth. It’s been a strange beef, for sure, but an oddly difficult one to pick a side on. Regardless of your take, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest on Boosie Badazz.

Chrisean Rock’s Baby Will Be Named After Blueface, She Says On “Hotboxin’ With Mike Tyson”

by

We haven’t received many updates on Chrisean Rock’s pregnancy since she broke the big news earlier this year. It came as she and Blueface were amid severe turmoil, and even found the 26-year-old vehemently denying paternity of the unborn child. In the weeks since we’ve seen the Crazy In Love stars spending plenty of time together, from hitting up the gym for workouts to causing drama on Instagram Live.

Without new weekly episodes of their Zeus series to entertain the masses, fans of the couple have been happy to see them in the press doing plenty of interviews. Of course, some have come with their share of drama, but for their latest sitdown, the chaotic couple was noticeably more well-behaved than usual. In an interview that premiered earlier this week, Rock told Mike Tyson that she plans to name her first child after her “Lit” collaborator.

It’s Baby Blueface!

“Is it a girl, or boy? Or you can’t tell yet?” the professional fighter asked the expecting mother during the latest episode of his Hotboxin’ podcast. Rock confirmed that she’s currently unaware of the baby’s gender, but plans to name a boy after the “Thotiana” rapper. In the case she’s having a girl, the little one will take on a variation of her name.

It remains unclear exactly how far along the Baddies cast member is, though this isn’t her first time being pregnant with Blueface’s baby. In another interview, Chrisean says she’s had at least three past abortions because she didn’t quite feel ready for motherhood. She’s also taken comments from those encouraging her to reconsider her desire to be a mother very personally, lashing out at anyone condemning her for keeping the pregnancy.

Mike Tyson Asks the Real Questions

Elsewhere on Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson, the athlete spoke candidly with the couple about their public history of physical violence with one another. At one point, the host suggested that Blueface enjoys being “beat on” by his girl, to which he said, “It’s like a weird situation to be in. It’s like you wanna fight but it’s like… I don’t know.” Afterward, Tyson revealed that he and his wife would often get into spats as a result of drinking alcohol.

“Me and my wife used to fight, but we stopped fighting,” the multi-talent told his guests. “Once we stopped drinking, we stopped fighting,” he added before the California-born rapper asked him what cause their altercations. “Jealousy,” Tyson explained, calling himself an “idiot” for being insecure over other men looking at his wife. Check it all out in the video above, and come back later for more hip-hop news updates.

Brittany Renner Explains Her New Perspective On Meaningless Sex, Says It Makes Her Want To Puke

by

In the early stages of her career, part of Brittany Renner’s brand was speaking candidly about her sex life. Over the years, she’s been linked to names like Colin Kaepernick, Ben Simmons, Jamal Murray, and James Harden. She also shares a child with PJ Washington, who she began dating when he was 18 and the social media star was 26.

The 30-year-old is no stranger to controversy, though as she gets older, she seems to be unlearning some of her toxic traits. In recent months, rather than bragging about her conquests, the mother of one has been sharing her fresh perspective on intimacy. While it used to be a thoughtless act for her, Renner now finds it challenging to share her body with a man if they haven’t formed a bond between them.

Brittany’s Fresh Perspective on Intimacy

During a recent interview, the influencer recalled what her life was like before. “I gave men my body who didn’t deserve it, and you know, it was what it was. The thought of that now literally makes me want to puke,” she confessed. “I’m okay off of meaningless sex,” Renner added. “I mean, sex without some type of bond, or love, is just exercise at this point.”

She then joked that, because she already has a healthy relationship with her fitness routine, there’s no need for her to get an extra workout in. The comment section on @theneighborhoodtalk proves that many are loving the new leaf Renner has turned over. “I love how transparent and how honest she is,” one person praised the Mississippi native. “Love this growth and glow on her.”

Last December, the entertainer publicly shaded her old roster of hookups in another interview. At the time, Renner called her list of past sexual partners “repulsive,” and admitted that her lack of self-worth is what lead her to be intimate with them. “I did not understand my value that I was born with,” she told YouTuber JustPearlyThings.

“People look at sex differently, but sex is spiritual unification. At the end of the day, I don’t care how you spin it,” the Jackson State alum additionally noted. “And people that I shared my body with — when I think about my list — it’s repulsive. Because they didn’t deserve it. But that was an outcome of me discounting my worth.” Watch Renner’s full interview with Nyla Symone below, and check back later for more pop culture news.
