Akademiks Unleashes On Luka Sabbat After Actor Defends Yung Miami

by

His opinions are known to rub people the wrong way, but DJ Akademiks doesn’t mind having an enemy or two. The blogger and Off The Record podcast host often goes toe-to-toe—albeit online—with his entertainment peers for how he delivers takes on pop culture and Hip Hop. Most recently, the news of Sean “Diddy” Combs welcoming a daughter months ago with a California woman went viral. This, of course, received a wave of attention, and Akademiks chimed in to point the spotlight at Yung Miami.

He reportedly suggested that the City Girls star was Diddy’s side chick or, at the very least, came secondary. After engaging in a heated back and forth with Yung Miami, actor and model Luka Sabbat had a question that he took to Twitter.

The Grown-ish actor wrote: “Why does dj akademiks only pick smoke with females… I ain’t never see him keep that energy with another man.”

It is an observation that Ak has often faced, but he decided to unleash during a Livestream. He called Sabbat a “bum ass n*gga” and invited the actor to “come over here.” Akademiks even said he would “book [him] a ticket” to his “headquarters” so they could settle things in some sort of fight.

Meanwhile, it was just yesterday (December 12) when Yung Miami gave Akademiks a piece of her mind. After learning of his remarks, she didn’t hold back in her response.

“It’s cool for a MAN to constantly harass me online that I don’t know! he did the same sh*t when my car got shot up he laughed when I almost lost my life find somebody else to play with! I can react how tf I want to!”

Akademiks’s reaction wasn’t lost on Sabbat, who laughed at him on Twitter. Check out his response below.

Lil Fizz’s Butt Causes Him To Go Viral After Nude Video Leaks

by

They say all publicity is good publicity, right? Hopefully this is true for Lil Fizz, who is now trending online for an unexpected reason.

The former B2K member is all over the internet after the world was witness to a nude video of him leaking. The footage is explicitly making its rounds all over social media.

The X-rated video allegedly comes from his OnlyFans account. After being accessed by the wrong people, it’s now undeniably one of the hottest topics on Twitter.

“Do NOT check why Lil Fizz is trending smh,” one user subsequently wrote after investigating the salacious trend for themselves.

“Lil Fizz took ‘Bump, Bump, Bump’ to heart I see,” another user tweeted along with some emojis crying with laughter. This reference comes from the title of B2K’s 2002 hit with Diddy.

“Baby, turn around and let me see that sexy body go / Bump, bump, bump,” the group sings on the hook.

“In 2022 I done seen (against my will) Lil Fizz wee wee and bootyhole…” another Twitter user chimed in.

Surprisingly, this isn’t the first time the youngest member of the R&B group has been the victim of an intimate leak. A nude video of his genitalia allegedly made its way online in February.

In other news this year, the former Love & Hip-Hop: Hollywood star has continued his long-time beef with fellow singer Omarion.

The former bandmates have a long history of sending shots at each other. In September, Fizz sat down for an interview with Drink Champs. This is when he began chiming in on why he thinks the “Post to Be” singer left the group back in the day.

The 37-year-old alleges that the reason for the MMG singer going solo was because he hooked up with a girl he liked.

Additionally, this wasn’t the first time the two singers were involved with the same woman during their time working together. In the early 2000s, Fizz began dating Apryl Jones, who’s the mother of Omarion’s child.

As a result, the off-and-on beef was consequently ignited. It’s evidently still going on to this day.

Although this isn’t Fizz’s first scandal, he certainly has some questions to answer. Nonetheless, check out some more reactions to the leak on social media below.

Will Smith To Talk “Emancipation” & Oscars On “Red Table Talk”

by

It has arguably been one of the most challenging years for Will Smith. The Fresh Prince icon had an almost unblemished record in the entertainment industry—a feat that isn’t easy to accomplish. He is an acclaimed actor with a reputation for being family-friendly, but his Academy Award moment shifted perspectives. Smith infamously slapped Chris Rock earlier this year on the Oscars stage, and he has been speaking freely about the incident in recent weeks.

As Smith promotes his latest film Emancipation, he has been addressing the controversy after months of silence. Now, he joins his family once again on Red Table Talk to detail his transformation for Emancipation and the moment that changed his career forever.

A press release for Wednesday’s (December 14) episode calls the Red Table Talk conversation “deeply intimate and revealing.” This will be the first time several of the Smith family will come together for this personal discussion. The actor reportedly admits that, for the first time in his expansive career, he almost “went too far” and nearly “lost himself.”

“Will shares the biggest revelations of his life, a horrific moment he experienced while filming and a co-star who refused to speak to him,” the press release added.

In a promotional photo of the episode, it’s easy to note that Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, was omitted. He posed will all of his children: Trey, Willow, and Jaden.

The Academy Awards moment between Smith and Rock sparked after the comedian joked about Jada’s bald head. While she didn’t say anything in the broadcast clip, the actress was vilified by the public and several of her peers. The move to not have her participate in the Red Table Talk conversation could be for Smith to detail his feelings without Jada once again unnecessarily taking the blame.

Will Smith’s appearance on Red Table Talk will premiere tomorrow, Dec. 14, on Facebook Watch.

Emily Blunt Clarifies Tom Cruise Story: “I Absolutely Adore Tom”

by

Emily Blunt has clarified her recent comments on working with Tom Cruise for the film, Edge of Tomorrow. She had recently recalled a time when her co-star told her to “stop being such a pussy” on set.

“It’s ludicrous that it’s being spun as something that offended me,” Emily said in a statement to E! News on Dec. 12. “It didn’t. I shared the story as lightheartedly as it was meant by Tom.”

Blunt added that the story is “literally and absurdly out of context.”

She further continued: “I absolutely adore Tom, he’s a dear friend and he was a total gem to me. It was said as a joke to make me laugh, which it did in a big way. And it’s still something we laugh about to this day.”

Blunt first recalled the incident during an appearance on the SmartLess podcast with hosts Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes, and Will Arnett. She explained that she had begun crying due to the pressure of filming in the “enormous” costumes.

“I was like, ‘Tom, I’m not sure how I’m going to get through this shoot,’ and just started to cry,” Emily continued. “I was like, ‘I’m feeling a bit panicky about the whole shoot,’ and he stared at me for a long time, not knowing what to do, and he goes, ‘Come on, stop being such a pussy, OK?’”

She also said that the comments made her laugh at the time.

Edge of Tomorrow premiered back in 2014. In addition to Crusie and Blunt, the film starred Bill Paxton and Brendan Gleeson.

NBA YoungBoy’s Baby Mama Vents On IG: “Nobody Love Me FR”

by

2022 has been a busy year for NBA YoungBoy in more ways than one. The 23-year-old has dropped seven more full-length projects and countless YouTube videos in the past twelve months.

On top of this, his time has also been spent being a father to his growing list of children. The newest addition to his family came in September when he officially welcomed his tenth into the world.

This marked his second kid with his new fiancée, YouTuber Jazlyn Mychelle.

The “Make No Sense” rapper’s father duties run deep. His other eight children are with seven different women. Not all of them are happy with their situations.

One, in particular, is social media star, Jania Meshell. She and YB are co-parents to their son, Kacey. However, there has been some drama involving the pair.

The influencer recently took to her Instagram Stories to air out her feelings. “Nobody love me fr and yesterday showed me that when I’m not around I get talked about like a dog,” she wrote.

“The things I heard come out of somebody mouth tonight was so disrespectful,” she went on. “I don’t ever wanna deal with anyone ever again ’cause I just feel like everybody feel that way about me.”

It sounds like the 22-year-old has had enough of the drama surrounding YoungBoy. She subsequently concluded her message by announcing that she would be taking a break from social media to pull herself together.

Things with her baby daddy clearly didn’t work out. However, the influencer is currently dating Atlanta Hawks star, Dejounte Murray.

The Baton Rouge native was recently stirring up some beef with the new couple after hearing that his son was kicked out of the car by the point guard.

“I’m a real shooter b***h, yo bf a hoe! I was cool with him until he put my son out the car and made him walk,” he wrote in an IG Story.

Meshell later cleared the air on her own Instagram account. She asked Kacey while on Live if the NBA star has ever put them out. “He didn’t,” replied the six-year-old.

Furthermore, YoungBoy took shots at his baby mamas in late October. This came as a response to some tweets that a number of them had written about his alleged lack of a relationship with his kids.

Meshell was one such parent. “Growing up without one, I just love it for kids that actually have it,” she wrote on Twitter about “real fathers.”

It seems as though The Last Slimeto rapper is having an undeniably hard time balancing his responsibilities and keeping everyone happy.

Diddy’s New Baby News Follows Alleged Fling With Influencer Shawntya Joseph

by

Diddy has been a busy man as of late. The multihyphenate often spoils City Girl Yung Miami. However, recent reports reveal that he’s got enough love in him for more than just one woman.

Over the weekend, the internet was shaken by a tweet from Sean Combs, revealing that there’s a new “baby girl” in his family. Initially, it was unclear if the 53-year-old was a father for the seventh time, or if one of his own children had made him a grandpa.

Now though, we know that the New York native’s tweet was celebrating the arrival of his own child. As Page Six notes, Love Sean Combs was born back in October. 28-year-old cyber security specialist Dana Tran is the mother, according to a birth certificate.

Currently, Diddy hasn’t spoken on the situation any further than his initial tweet. Internet sleuths are noticing that his latest baby mama’s social media accounts no longer exist. With an infant to take care of, it’s not surprising that Tran is trying to avoid invasive attention.

The new parents may be keeping quiet, but Yung Miami has certainly been speaking her mind. On Monday (December 12), she and DJ Akademiks went at it on social media. At the time, she adamantly insisted that she’s not anyone’s “side bitch.”

In the past, the “Twerkulator” rapper and Diddy have made it known that their relationship is an open one. Still, though, the internet tends to clown Caresha for how hard she rides for a man. Especially one that’s not fully committing to her.

As Daily Mail reports, the Florida native has more than just Tran to worry about. Less than 24 hours before making the big announcement about little Love, Combs was seen strolling around NYC with an influencer named Shawntya Joseph.

The two were seen on Friday (December 9), wearing all-black outfits as they explored the city together. At this time, it remains unclear what the nature of their relationship is.

Mariah Carey Reaches No. 1 On Billboard Hot 100 Chart – Again

by

Christmas is now less than two weeks away. One of the most telling tales that this time of year is officially here is when you start to hear Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” all over the radio.

Last year, the smash hit appeared at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart dated December 25. This marked the third straight holiday season it has accomplished this feat.

The festive track is back in its familiar territory this week. Dethroning Taylor Swift’s recent hit, “Anti-Hero” in the process, the top four songs now all reflect the time of year. Wham!’s “Last Christmas” also appears at No. 9, making half of the top 10 holiday songs.

Subsequently, the staple Christmas tune extends Carey’s record as the artist with the most weeks spent atop the chart. Presently, she’s celebrating her 88th.

The next closest artist, Rihanna follows behind in second place with 60 weeks spent at the top.

The Queen of Christmas has also entered the top 10 on the Billboard 200 albums chart yet again. Her aptly-titled 1994 album, Merry Christmas, currently sits at the 10th spot. It’s only a matter of time before it jumps up the list.

Just last month, the “Fantasy” singer revealed that she does in fact own the masters to her old music. The recordings to 86 singles and 15 studio albums dating back to 1990 are officially hers.

In other news surrounding the 52-year-old icon, there is reportedly an adaptation of her 2020 memoir, The Meaning of Mariah Carey in the works.

Directed by her longtime friend Lee Daniels, it’s set to come in the form of a mini-series. The most wonderful time of the year continues to be dominated by Miss Mariah.

Does “All I Want for Christmas Is You” enter your holiday rotation at this time of year? If not, what song puts you in the Christmas spirit? Comment down below.

Lil Wayne’s “A Milli” Used In Police TikTok Announcing $1.1M Drug Bust

by

It appears that a Florida Police Department might be big fans of Lil Wayne. Over the weekend, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office shared a TikTok announcing a $1.1M drug bust with Weezy’s 2008 hit, “A Milli” soundtracking the video.

The TikTok video shows Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno along with two other officers standing behind a table of cash. Then, they announce that they successful conducted a major drug bust.

“Christmas is canceled for these two drug dealers and the streets are cleared of drugs, guns and a milli,” Sheriff Marceno says. Just as he finishes talking, Lil Wayne’s”A Milli” begins to play. The video reveals that the police department executed two warrants. During that time, they seized two kilos of cocaine, along with $1.1M in cash, which they count throughout the clip.

Lil Wayne’s “A Milli” stands as one of his biggest hits to date. Released ahead of Tha Carter III, the single earned Wayne the Grammy for Best Rap Solo performance.

Lil Wayne has yet to respond to the clip and it seems unlikely that he will in the near future. However, fans should expect to hear some new music in the near future. DJ Drama and Weezy recently linked up, sparking speculation that another installment in the Dedication series was coming. However, Drama also indicated that he’s working on a new album so there’s a good chance the two have a song coming out soon.

Most recently, Lil Wayne joined forces with YG for the latter’s new single, “Miss My Dawgs.” The two artists paid tribute to Slim400 on the single. Ahead of the song’s release, YG blessed Lil Wayne with a new 4Hunnid chain to celebrate their latest collab.

In addition to his musical output in recent weeks, the National Museum Of African American Music honored Lil Wayne with an exhibit dedicated to his catalog and impact.

Dua Lipa & Jack Harlow Dating After Rapper Name-Dropped Her On Last Album

by

Most people typically try to secure their cuffing season arrangements long before December. However, this year we have several late entries sparking romance rumours ahead of the holidays. Most recently, Dua Lipa and Jack Harlow have been causing a stir by spending some time together.

According to a Page Six report, the two have been dating after meeting at the Variety Hitmaker’s Brunch. The event took place last month in Los Angeles. Sources say that the Future Nostalgia starlet has become “quite smitten” with her new beau. They’ve been in “constant communication” since their first run-in, which cameras were quick to photograph.

Harlow, of course, hasn’t kept quiet about his strong feelings of attraction for the English artist. Earlier this year, he even released, “Dua Lipa.“ The single appears on his sophomore effort, Come Home The Kids Miss You.

“Dua Lipa, I’m tryna do more with her than do a feature / I checked the web, they out here chewin’ me up, f*ck it,” he raps within the first few bars of the popular song.

Many would love to have the Kentucky native pen a track about them. Still, Harlow made sure to get his new girl’s blessing before unleashing his work on the world. “I didn’t want her to be blindsided by that or feel creeped out or anything,” he previously said when telling the story of her reaction in May.

“I suppose it’s OK,” is what Lipa initially told him over FaceTime. However, it seems the tribute has grown on her. At least enough for the performer to want to get to know the “First Class” hitmaker on a more intimate level.

A source told Page Six of Harlow, “he was very interested in [Dua], and was going to strongly pursue [the romance].” Additionally, insiders have spilled that he flew to New York City this past weekend to see her following an appearance at the Z100 Jingle Ball.

The next day, sleuths saw them arriving separately at a restaurant for a lunch date. Apparently, they were attempting to move inconspicuously as they came in through a private entrance and left at different times.

“He is going to do his best, as he has always been a fan of her,” someone close to Harlow has confirmed to the outlet.

Prior to these new romance rumours, Dua Lipa was last linked to Trevor Noah. Read all about that gossip here, and check back with HNHH later for more pop culture news updates.

DaBaby Facing Lawsuit For Allegedly Stealing “Rockstar” Beat From Producer

by

DaBaby’s downfall continues. The rapper – who was among the most popular in the world in 2020 – has been in the news for controversial reasons since last year.

According to a report from TMZ, the “BOP” rapper is now being sued for stealing the beat to one of his most popular songs, “ROCKSTAR” featuring Roddy Ricch.

The producer filing the lawsuit, JuJu Beatz claims that he sent a “musical composition” to DaBaby’s team a few years back. Part of it was later sampled by the 30-year-old illegally and without his permission.

Additionally, the creative claims the rapper and his camp accessed the digital file over 40 times from late 2019 to early 2020.

Beatz is suing for damages, as the rapper is seemingly refusing to cooperate outside of court.

“ROCKSTAR” currently has over one billion streams on Spotify since its release. The up-and-coming hitmaker says he hasn’t earned any money for his allegedly stolen beat.

As we mentioned earlier, controversy has been running rampant in the “Babysitter” artist’s life for some time now. In the summer of 2021, the Cleveland native received backlash for some out-of-pocket comments he made while on stage at Rolling Loud.

In a hate-filled rant seemingly towards the LGBTQ+ community, he singled out AIDS victims. “If you didn’t show up today with HIV, AIDS, or any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases, that’ll make you die in two to three weeks, then put your cellphone lighter up,” he said to the crowd.

Gay men were the target of his next remark. “Fellas, if you ain’t sucking d*ck in the parking lot, put your cellphone lighter up,” DaBaby continued.

Consequently, a number of festivals including Lollapalooza went forward with removing the KIRK rapper from their lineups.

Meeting with several organizations and a since-deleted public apology led to an LGBTQ+ foundation, Relationship Unleased, forgiving the rapper.

CEO Gwendolyn D. Clemons said they felt as though the GRAMMY-nominated rapper had learned why his comments were harmful.

After escaping that scandal (not without consequences, however), he’s now caught up in the “ROCKSTAR” lawsuit.

As the latest saga in DaBaby’s troubled career begins to unfold, do you think he’ll ever be as popular as he once was? Sound off in the comments below.
