Jhené Aiko’s father, Dr. Karamo Chilombo, welcomed his ninth baby at the age of 78 last week. He confirmed his child’s birth in an Instagram post celebrating the news on Saturday.

“He is here,” Chilombo captioned a series of photos. “JahSeh- Miyagi 12/16/22.”

Chilombo first confirmed that he and his partner were expecting a baby boy back in July. Aiko commented “congratulations” on the post at the time.

He also teased the newborn’s imminent arrival in an Instagram post on December 16.

“Here at the hospital waiting for my son to arrive,” Chilombo wrote. “His beautiful mother is on a PITOCIN Drip to speed things along.”

“Can’t wait to see you and hold you SUN/SON,” he continued. “A SUPREME LOVE TO ALL!”

The news comes after Aiko gave birth to her second child in November. It is her first baby with Big Sean. The two have been dating on and off since 2016. They confirmed they were expecting back in July.

“After 24 hours of labor, a total lunar eclipse, and while it was pouring rain… he came,” the Grammy nominee wrote, last month. “My baby Yoda, my Sani.”

Big Sean added: “Happy, Healthy and everything we could ever ask for and more. Any and everything for you Son.”

Sean previously revealed that Aiko experienced a miscarriage during his 2020 song, “Deep Reverence.” The track is included on his album, Detroit 2, and features Nipsey Hussle. It was up for Best Rap Performance at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards.

Diddy & Dana Tran Take Photos With Baby Love Sean Combs

by

Big families are obviously in style this year. Though he’s already a father of six, Diddy was proud to announce earlier this month that he welcomed a new child. The majority of his kids were born to the late Kim Porter. However, the latest arrival belongs to 28-year-old Dana Tran.

As it turns out, the cyber security specialist previously gave birth in October. Love Sean Combs’ existence was kept quiet for several weeks. Since her father broke the internet with his revelation, she’s been the talk of the town.

Now that the dust has somewhat settled, it appears both the infants parents have been eager to capture photos with her. Over the weekend, an image of Tran holding her swaddled baby on the beach made its way onto @theneighborhood talk.

Though we can’t see little Love’s face, an abundance of thick, dark hair sits on top of her head. Most of the baby’s body is covered, but her adorable tiny arm is visible, holding onto her mom’s chest for comfort.

It remains unclear if Tran has been on vacation with friends and her child, or if she simply resides in a warmer, more beachy area. In fact, little is still known about the new mother, including the nature of her relationship with Diddy.

Speaking of the Bad Boy, he was eager to share some snapshots of his namesake himself. On Christmas Day, the father of seven uploaded an Instagram post that finds most of his family wearing matching festive pyjamas.

In the centre of it all is Love, wearing a unique holiday onesie of her own. Once again, the proud papa keeps her face hidden, though a bow sits on top of her thick, dark locks.

“Merry Christmas from my family to yours! LOVE,” Combs wrote in the caption.

While his holiday certainly did have some wholesome moments, Diddy still kept the internet laughing with his usual antics. Check out what he had to say about Yung Miami’s recent interview with G Herbo here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Akon Says He Supports Nick Cannon Having So Many Kids

by

Akon says that he fully supports Nick Cannon having almost a dozen children with different women. The “Locked Up” singer discussed the situation during a recent appearance on The Zeze Millz Show.

“I agree with him one-thousand percent,” Akon said. “That’s how life is supposed to be. Why not? He’s rich … He’s responsible. He takes care of every one of those children … And the baby mothers with it. And they hurt for nothing and they live comfortably!”

From there, Millz and Akon discussed the role of a father in their child’s life.

“So every single time, you’re at every single recital?” Millz asked the musician.

“No, that’s a white man’s thing. Who gives a f**k about a recital?” Akon responded. “No, seriously. Listen, my job is to raise my kids, to be responsible, to be understanding, to protect their mother, to give a hand with their father, and to assist with family planning, and to be responsible adults … Now guess what? While I’m taking care of my responsibility to make sure the family has a roof over their head and food, if I have the time to do that and show love, yes, I will do that. But my responsibility is to make sure they grow up responsible and strong.”

Speaking about spending time with his kids on Christmas, Nick Cannon recently admitted that he’ll be traveling “all over” to see his children for the holidays.

Nick Cannon isn’t the only celebrity that Akon has defended as of late. He also supported Kanye West, earlier this month.

Nick Cannon Says He’s “Traveling All Over” To See His Kids On Christmas

by

Nick Cannon says that he’s traveling “all over” to visit all 11 of his children for the holidays. Cannon addressed the difficulty he has spending time with all of his kids while speaking with TMZ. The outlet caught up to him while he was serving holiday meals as a volunteer at the Los Angeles Mission on Friday.

“Me and Santa Claus do it together,” he told a reporter. “I have the same vibe as Santa Claus, I’m traveling all over.”

At the L.A. Mission, Brittany Bell and two of her three children with Cannon were in attendance.

Cannon recently addressed the difficulties of spending time with so many kids, according to Today.

“Being a father of multiple kids, it’s always the biggest guilt on me is that I don’t get to spend enough time with all my children,” he said during a podcast interview. “One ’cause I’m constantly working and two because I’m just spread thin.”

With 11 kids already to take care of, Cannon has another on the way with Alyssa Scott. He recently discussed his children in an interview with Billboard News.

“My kids are definitely the creative force in all that I do,” the proud dad said. “They’re the funniest, most innovative, best questions…every project I’m working on now is through their eyes. That’s my number one priority obviously. I wake up being a father thinking about my kids and everything else comes after that.

“I don’t know, man, I have no idea,” he admitted when asked if he’ll have more kids, before adding, “I think I’m good right now.”

Keke Palmer’s Baby Bump Is On Full Display This Christmas, Darius Jackson Approves

by

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! While our favourite celebrities are usually too busy to share the intimate details of their lives, the holidays are when many soften up and offer a glimpse into their lavishly decorated homes. The Kardashian family put on an undeniably exuberant display, but other stars like Keke Palmer are keeping things more casual this year.

While hosting Saturday Night Live earlier this month, the Disney Channel alum made a huge announcement. During her opening monologue, she was surprisingly honest with the crowd. “There’s some rumours going around, people have been in my comments saying, ‘Keke’s having a baby, Keke’s pregnant,’ and I wanna set the record straight — I am,” she said.

Immediately, Palmer’s fans reacted in excitement. However, many of them were unaware that she was even in a relationship and wanted to know who her baby’s daddy is.

Presently, the actress is dating Darius Jackson. They’ve been together since the summer of 2021, and though their public comments about each other are few and far between, they’re notably always positive. “I’m glad we were able to help each other throughout our lowest of times,” her man previously wrote on Instagram.

“This is the happiest I’ve ever felt with someone,” Palmer said of the soon-to-be parent’s relationship earlier this year.

On Christmas Eve (December 24), Jackson put a Boomerang on his Instagram Story. In the clip, he kisses the 29-year-old’s pregnant belly. “Mom n Dad,” he wrote above the footage.

For her part, Palmer posted a hilarious IG Reel of her reciting Leora Byrd’s spirited pregnancy monologue. Her baby bump is on full display for followers as she recites along in perfect unison.

“No this sound was meant for you to do it,” Ryan Destiny joked in the comments. “I knew when you ducked down to get into character this was gone be good,” someone else joked.

James Harden Reportedly Eyeing Return To The Houston Rockets

by

James Harden is certainly no stranger when it comes to being entangled in NBA rumors. Since joining the league as a rookie in 2009, he’s played for four different teams.

A shocking report on Monday (December 25) reveals that he could be wanting to play for one of his old squads again.

According to ESPN Senior NBA Insider, Adrian Wojnarowski, the current 76ers shooting guard might be eyeing a return to the Houston Rockets. However, this would only be if he enters free agency this summer.

His current two-year contract with the Sixers contains a player option for the 2023-24 season. If he chooses to take it, he will subsequently become a free agent.

The interesting part is that his present stint with Philadelphia began just shy of two years ago, shortly after he requested a trade out of Houston. The Rockets traded him to the Brooklyn Nets in a four-player deal in January, 2021. It reunited him with his former OKC teammate, Kevin Durant. Only a month later though, the world was witness to the Sixers and Nets swapping superstars Harden and Ben Simmons in a blockbuster trade.

Regardless of the new development, the 33-year-old was certainly gelling with his current team on Sunday (December 25). He put up 29 points and 13 assists in Philadelphia’s 119-112 win over the New York Knicks. The game served as the league’s first of five Christmas Day match-ups.

Furthermore, the All-Star guard seems to not be paying the reports too much attention. “I’m here. We are playing very well and I don’t know where the report came from, but I’m very excited to be here. We are playing well, and we’re continuing to get getter,” he told reporters following the win.

It will certainly be interesting to see how all of this unfolds during the off-season. For now, Philadelphia is enjoying an eight-game winning streak.

Could you see Harden back in a Rockets jersey? If so, who do you think they’d have to give up in a trade to get him? Sound off in the comments down below. Finally, make sure to check out our newest holiday-themed playlist here.

Boosie Badazz Wants To Direct A YSL RICO Case Movie

by

YSL’s ongoing RICO case took the world by storm this year, with Gunna free but Young Thug still behind bars. Moreover, there have been so many twists and turns that it gets difficult to keep up with what happened and what’s speculated. Still, some within the rap game want to take that chance. Boosie Badazz expressed interest in directing a movie about Young Thug, YSL, and their legal battle.

Still, it’s unclear whether this hypothetical movie would be fiction, although it can be assumed to refer more to a documentary. While Boosie is often the subject of much media controversy, he’s found success on big and small screens through his team at Boosie BadAzz Productions. He wrote, directed, and produced Where’s MJ, which hit this Christmas. To elaborate, it’s a Black take on Home Alone starring Desi Banks, Grove Hero, his son Tootie Raww, Boosie himself, and many others. Moreover, special guests Flavor Flav and the late Atlanta rapper Trouble also make appearances.

While attending the film’s premiere at Clark Atlanta University, the rapper elaborated on his next move. After Where’s MJ, he told AllHipHop that he wanted to document what’s happening between YSL and the City of Atlanta.

“I’ll document it. I’ll shoot the film,” he said. “Free all them boys. I don’t want nobody in there.”

Also, the 40-year-old advocated for YFN Lucci’s release, who is also in jail due to RICO charges including murder. In fact, Lucci alleged that some of Thugger’s YSL crew tried to kill him while jailed in Fulton County.

Before the evening closed out, the Baton Rouge artist thanked everyone for their support and attendance. However, with the holiday season in mind, he gave a $15,000 check to Clark Atlanta University to thank them for their support of his film endeavors.

What do you think of Boosie Badazz’s plans to document the YSL story and put it on the big screen? Have you seen Where’s MJ yet and what did you think? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest in hip-hop-movie crossovers and more rap on the big screen.

North West & Sia Sing Together At Kardashian Family Christmas Party

by

Leave it to the Kardashian-Jenner family to outshine the rest of the world with their extravagant Christmas celebration. This year, the reality stars spared no expense as they dressed in designer gowns and recruited huge singers to personally perform for them. As it turns out, one of their own even took to the stage to sing this year.

Clearly following in the footsteps of her performer father is North West, who sang with Sia over the weekend. As PEOPLE reports, the duo sang the Australian’s beloved “Snowman” song while standing in a life-size gift box.

Kim Kardashian and her sister Khloé shared footage of the sweet moment on social media. “We love you @siamusic,” the younger wrote.

For her performance, North looked as stylish as ever. Known for wearing bold attire, the 9-year-old had all eyes on her in a shimmering black look. Her duet partner, on the other hand, looked rather angelic in a long tulle gown and matching headpiece.

While the personal concert was certainly special, it wasn’t the only highlight of the evening. Elsewhere, another mother-daughter duo made headlines with their glamorous outfits for the evening.

Kylie Jenner and Stormi Webster attended the annual family festivities in matching Mugler looks. While the mother of two shows far more skin – something she’s been defending herself for as of late – than her 4-year-old, the similarities between their gowns are undeniable.

On Christmas Eve, the 25-year-old showed off their dresses via Instagram, holding the little girl’s hand in the mirror.

Additionally, Jenner shared an adorable TikTok with her and Travis Scott’s daughter. Her page later lit up with even more content from the evening with her siblings, including a get ready with me and some hilarious acting from the makeup mogul and her best gal pal.

Trevon Diggs & Joie Chavis Smooch On The Sidelines

by

Love is in the air this holiday season, even on the football field. Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs shared a kiss with his boo Joie Chavis yesterday, on Christmas Eve. Moreover, the Cowboys played the Philadelphia Eagles and won 40 to 34. As Diggs ran off the field, he pulled his mask mask down and smooched Chavis, cheering from the sidelines, before moving on.

It’s wholesome to see the two share a cute moment, especially since Joie Chavis went through a lot recently. Someone broke into her Los Angeles home last November and traumatized her and her family. Given the surge in crime as of late, such stories are far too common. Fortunately, the family wasn’t harmed, but it’s a tough time to be sure.

On another note, the couple teased their romance back in October, and they’ve manifested. Previously, people started rumors that she was dating Diddy after they kissed on a yacht in Italy. Unlike Diggs, this wasn’t the case, and Chavis explained it via Instagram.

“I was working on an unreleased project for him and that’s why I was in Italy! In the midst of me being there we kissed, that’s it. Didn’t go further than that! I had my own damn room and he has always been respectful to me as a friend. The kiss shouldn’t have happened, but it did, and there’s nothing I can do about it.”

Meanwhile, the influencer spoke about sticking to celibacy “until the right one comes along.” She dated famous men like Bow Wow and Future, with whom she shares children, and rumors spread of her, Diddy, and many others. However, she wrote to followers on Instagram that she wants something more.

“I’ve been through so much pain, and as terrified as I am, I wanna be in love again,” she wrote. “I haven’t given up on that even though it seems nearly impossible to have someone in this generation. Single and dating is cool, but I’m really gonna stick to celibacy until the right one comes along.”

What do you think of Joie Chavis and Trevon Diggs’s fling? Let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest in celebrity relationships and cute couple moments.

Cory Hardrict & Tia Mowry Spend Christmas With The Kids Following Divorce

by

Even in the midst of an unexpected divorce, Cory Hardrict and Tia Mowry are keeping their composure in the public eye. While the holidays can be a tough time for several separated families, both stars are doing their part to make it easier by spending Christmas together with their two children.

Earlier this month, gossip began circulating saying that the former couple was planning to be under one roof on December 25th. However, last week Radar Online shared a report revealing that the Karen actor “appears to be ready for war” with his latest legal filings. These headlines caused some speculation about whether or not we’d see them put aside their alleged differences for the seasonal festivities.

On Sunday (December 25) afternoon, Mowry shut down any doubters with a simple but effective message on Instagram. “Family will ALWAYS be family,” she wrote. “Merry Christmas from our family to yours.”

Throughout the photos, we see the Sister Sister starlet and her ex sitting side by side. Their daughter, Cairo, is sprawled across their laps, getting a kiss from each of them. Meanwhile, their son, Cree, lays back into his father’s lap.

Additionally, Mowry included some heartwarming father-daughter photos of Cory and his little one hugging in front of the fireplace. Clearly, they’re not letting divorce stand in the way of a cheerful Christmas together.

In Hardrict’s aforementioned petition, he reportedly questions the validity of their prenuptial agreement. Other blogs note that the 43-year-old is refuting his ex-wife’s claims of “irreconcilable differences” being the reason for their demise.

He is agreeing with Mowry’s request for joint legal and physical custody. Elsewhere, he requested that the court terminate her rights to seek spousal support. Surprisingly, he left both boxes unchecked regarding his own spousal support.
