Chrisean Rock Says She’s Getting Married This Year

by

The ups and downs of Chrisean Rock and Blueface‘s romance has been an ongoing debate for years. In 2022, the pair’s notoriety increased after several videos of their physical altercations surfaced online. Their domestic violence instances were brushed off as toxic behavior as they move forward with their relationship. Fans are receiving an inside look at the couple now that their Zeus reality series has surfaced, and according to Rock, wedding bells are in her future.

“My wedding will be in October,” she tweeted, along with several smiling heart emojis. It was a declaration that many immediately reacted to. Most saw it as an opportunity to troll the Crazy in Love star.

Meanwhile, Blueface hasn’t said a peep about his girlfriend’s prediction. Their tumultuous relationship has played out for a global audience, and not everyone believes it has been healthy. Despite the pushback, Rock continues to be invited to platforms to discuss her romance. In a recent chat with the Know For Sure podcast, Rock admitted to undergoing three abortions with Blueface.

“If I have a baby, I’m keeping it this time. I killed, like, three of them,” she said. “You know you always have that bad feeling, like, this not right.”

She added she “wouldn’t mind” having a child with the rapper “right now.” However, she also stated she would need to have a ring beforehand.

Adele Reveals Struggles With Sciatica Condition During Las Vegas Show

by

Her Las Vegas residency is a huge hit, and Adele has shined from one performance to the next. The string of performances initially suffered a delay due to unforeseen circumstances, and it was something that a tearful Adele addressed in a social media post. With that all behind her, the singer may have recently hinted why she had previously pushed back her residency. She spoke about a health condition that causes extreme pain.

The Daily Star shared a blurry snippet of one of Adele’s recent shows where she discussed struggling with a condition that affects her sciatica. She slowly moved from one side of the stage to the other. “I have to waddle these days as I have really bad sciatica,” she told the crowd.

Sciatica pain can last days to weeks as the nerve which runs from the lower back downward may be compressed. People have felt numbing or sharp pains that could be felt in one’s back, legs, or feet.

In 2021, Adele revealed that she hurt her back after sneezing. The event caused her to suffer a slipped disc.

“I’ve been in pain with my back for, like, half of my life, really,” she said at the time. “It flares up, normally due to stress or from a stupid bit of posture.”

Bobby Shmurda Reacts To Being Mentioned In Uncle Murda’s “Rap Up 2022”

by

2022 came to a close rather quickly. We’re already four days into 2023 and are patiently awaiting some highly-anticipated music releases this year.

However, 2022 didn’t end without a bombshell from Uncle Murda. Sticking to tradition, the New York rapper dropped off his annual “Rap Up” song on New Year’s Eve.

Sprawling across the track’s 15-minute runtime, the 42-year-old doesn’t hold back when addressing the various events that transpired over the course of the past 12 months in both hip-hop and pop culture.

One of the many artists he mentions is Bobby Shmurda. Namely, he addresses the beef between the “Hot N*gga” rapper and NBA YoungBoy earlier last year.

“NBA Youngboy had Rich The Kid shook / Over a little picture with Lil Durk that he took / Hope he know Bobby Shmurda and Rich The Kid different / Bobby will really boom you, n*gga, watch who you mention,” he raps within the first verse.

The Past Beef

It all began in November when Rowdy Rebel decided to speak out against the tragic murder of King Von. Specifically, he shares his thoughts on Lul Tum, the alleged killer and affiliate of both Quando Rondo and YoungBoy. “When King Von died, that Lul Tim n*gga, he didn’t have to get out of the car and start squeezing right away. You already got yours drawn,” says the “Computers” rapper.

“His mind off the rip went to kill. How you went to kill? How much hate you have already to kill this man?” he questions afterwards.

The Baton Rouge native subsequently replied in an Instagram Story. “I see why n*ggas irrelevant today “Be trying to make all the sense thinking what they saying real but sounding stupid asf[.]” Just mind yo businesses And stop the violence,” he says, before signing off as “Quando[‘s] big brother.”

The “Hot N*gga” rapper later shared his own two cents, seemingly dissing YoungBoy and Rondo in the process.

“Stop telling me about your brother’s shooters and your brother’s this – what the f*ck do you do? Huh? When are you finally gonna do something?” he questions.

Shmurda’s Reaction

Regardless of the past beef, Shmurda has since shared his thoughts on being mentioned in Murda’s year-end song. Evidently, he finds it humorous and simultaneously insists he’s a changed man. In an Instagram Live video, he reacts to hearing Murda dropping his name in the track for the first time. “Murda, I’m a changed man. I’m a changed man. I’m different, man. I’m tryna change, Murda. I ain’t tryna boom nobody no more,’ he pleads during the video.

What’s your favorite namedrop or mention in Uncle Murda’s wild “Rap Up 2022” track? Comment down below. Finally, make sure to stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest updates in music and pop culture.

Shannon Sharpe Confronts Skip Bayless Over Damar Hamlin Tweet

by

After receiving a wave of backlash over his tweet about Damar Hamlin, Skip Bayless refuses to remove the message. NFL fans watched as Buffalo Bills star Damar Hamlin suffered a medical emergency on the field. As real-time updates have been offered regarding his health status, Bayless emerged with a tweet that rubbed many the wrong way.

“No doubt the NFL is considering postponing the rest of this game – but how?” Bayless questioned. “This late in the season, a game of this magnitude is crucial to the regular-season outcome … which suddenly seems so irrelevant.”

The game would be stopped, but not quickly enough for some. Bayless was accused of focusing on the game rather than Hamlin. He took to Undisputed solo to address the controversy, and many believed Shannon Sharpe’s absence was because of their tension.

This morning (January 4), the two men joined together on their platform, and viewers could immediately sense something was off. During the exchange, Bayless made it clear that he wouldn’t be deleting his controversial tweet.

“Skip tweeted something, and although I disagreed with the tweet, hopefully, Skip will take it down,’ Sharpe said. Bayless interrupted to add, “Timeout… I stand by what I tweeted.”

Additionally, Sharpe spoke directly about Hamlin’s injury. The NFL star’s family has been updating the public about his status. It’s reported Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest and wasn’t breathing on his own after being hit during Monday night’s game.

“There’s been a lot of speculation on why I wasn’t on air yesterday, and I won’t get into speculation, conjecture, innuendo, but I will say this,” said Sharpe. “Watching that game on Monday night, what happened to Damar Hamlin struck me a little different.”

“As the brotherhood of the NFL, when injuries happen—and we know injuries are part of the game,” he continued. “I’ve seen guys suffer for ACLs and Achilles tear, but I’ve never had to see anybody have to be revived and fight for their life on the field.”

We will keep you updated as more about Damar Hamlin is shared. Check out Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless’s exchange above.

Cardi B Blasts High Grocery Store Prices

by

Inflation has been one of the most pressing issues in the United States over the last year. According to CNBC, the prices of everything from eggs and poultry to milk and cereal have surged dramatically. In addition to grocery store prices, everyday costs such as airfare and public transportation have recently increased as well. As a result, inflation has impacted countless people in one way or another — even celebrities like Cardi B.

Since last summer, the “Hot Shit” rapper has been vocal about the economic conditions in the U.S. Although she has repeatedly been called out for her comments, Cardi has refused to stay silent about the matter. Now, in a recent tweet, Cardi B has addressed inflation once again.

Cardi B vents about inflation and “ridiculous” grocery store prices

On Tuesday, January 3, the multi-platinum recording artist hit Twitter to voice her frustration with surging grocery store prices.

“Naaaaaa grocery shopping prices are ridiculous right now,” she stated. “You might as well eat outside !!”

Then, Cardi followed up that tweet by sharing a clip of Remy Ma’s viral “aggravated” moment from Love & Hip Hop New York. For context, Cardi tweeted, “Bitch why lettuce cost 6 dollars where I live at ?”

Check out both of Cardi’s inflation tweets below.

Dave & Buster’s Co-Founder Dead At 72

by

Dave & Buster’s co-founder, James “Buster” Corley, has died at the age of 72. According to TMZ, police discovered him with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound at his home in Dallas, Texas.

A representative for Dave & Buster’s told the outlet that he was “an innovative and creative force” with a “pioneering spirit.”

They continued: “Buster’s passion for hospitality, his demand for excellence, and the deep care he had for his team members were unparalleled. Our hearts go out to his family at this difficult time and while we will miss his wise counsel and his easy laugh, the legacy he and Dave built endures.”

Police are still investigating the incident and have yet to confirm an official cause of death.

“The preliminary investigation determined when officers arrived they found a man with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound,” a police representative said. They transported him to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead.

“Buster Corley had a stroke four months ago that caused severe damage to the communication and personality part of his brain,” Corley’s daughter Kate told WFAA. “The family asks for privacy during this time.”

Corley and his partner, David Corriveau, opened the first Dave & Buster’s in Dallas back in 1982. They decided on which of their names would come first by way of a coin toss. The two served as co-CEOs from 1982 to 1989 before later selling the business to the retail conglomerate, Edison Brothers. They remained as board members. As of today, Dave & Buster’s has 151 locations in the U.S. and two in Canada.

David Corriveau passed away in 2015 at age 63.

“I mean this is the only independent podcast in the top ten,” Hoffa said during an episode with Troy Ave. “Jim you was wylin’. It’s okay, I got a little petty, you know I love ya, but yeah you just gotta give it up for the people who choose to take control of their own destiny and run their own business.”

Jones also defended his inclusion of Kai Cenat, admitting that he may not technically be a podcaster.

“Some might argue @kaicenat is not a pod caster but he interviews people so there for he has a component of pod casting goin in durin his show so yeah and he super Poppin to th young generation,” he said, defending his selection.

Logan Paul Responds To CryptoZoo “Scam” Accusations

by

Logan Paul has responded to YouTuber Coffeezilla’s three-part video series that covers his CryptoZoo NFT project. Paul labeled the videos a “hit piece” and has threatened to take legal action.

In his videos, Coffeezilla breaks down a substantial amount of fraudulent activities and mismanagement of the project.

“You still published a defamatory hit piece, fully knowing that I was innocent, just so you could enrich yourself in your ’10 million dollar studio.’ Sharp! But deeply unethical. Dangerously misleading and illegal,” Paul says in a seven-minute-long response video published on Tuesday.

He continued: “I suggest you use the money you got from pumping your Patreon to hire a good lawyer. You’re going to need it.”

Paul further denied the allegations by admitting that he “unknowingly” hired several criminals and conmen to develop CryptoZoo.

“You have used my name for views and money,” Logan said. “He is a lopsided journalist with an agenda.”

As for his videos on the matter, Coffeezilla explained that Paul’s team didn’t spend millions on building the game. Instead, they copied a code from FlokiShibX while claiming it to be original.

“People were buying marketing and promises,” he said.

Paul previously described CryptoZoo as a “really fun game that earns you money.”

Since the release of the video, both Paul and Coffeezilla have traded shots on social media. On Tuesday night, Coffeezilla refuted Paul’s claim that he only reached out to him for comment by December 24, 2022. Instead, the YouTuber shared DMs from over a year ago questioning CryptoZoo.

by

Nearly two months after giving birth to her and Big Sean’s son Noah, Jhene Aiko is offering her internet fans a small glimpse of the adorable newborn. Posting to her Instagram Story and 16 million followers, the “Sativa” singer” cradles him in her arms with the caption “two months.”

Aiko welcomed Noah with the Detroit rapper in November 2022. She wrote on Instagram at the time, “After 24 hours of labor, a total lunar eclipse, and while it was pouring rain… he came 🥹 my baby Yoda, my Sani 💙.”

Noah is the first child for Big Sean and the second for Aiko, who also shares a teenage daughter with singer O’Ryan.

The new parents, who previously formed the hip-hop duo Twenty88 several years ago, have been working on their next project together. Sitting down with Billboard last year, the California native revealed, “With the first Twenty88, we were playing characters — and that was really fun because we both like to act, and love watching movies. Expect more theatrics on the next one.”

“I’m working on a few other projects too that I’m really excited to share,” she continued. “I don’t want people to be disappointed if it doesn’t happen when I want, but it will be when the time is right, because I like to be intuitive with my releases.”

On maintaining privacy in the public eye, Aiko also told the outlet, “Both of us have learned to be more private in our relationship, and treat it like the special thing it is. It’s the same with my relationship with my daughter. I’m not going to post everything, because we’re being more present with each other. It doesn’t have to be shared to be real.”

Big Sean also recently announced his return to the music scene, saying last month that new music will come in 2023.

Songs like “Kill Bill,” “Smoking on my Ex Pack,” and “Ghost in the Machine” were a few clear standouts on SOS. Last week, SZA’s label Top Dawg Entertainment dropped a music video teaser for “Kill Bill,” showing the St. Louis native on a motorcycle and swinging a sword in the Quentin Tarantino-themed visual.

SZA also announced her upcoming tour late last year. Stopping in Philadelphia, New York City, Chicago, Dallas, and Inglewood, the North American tour also includes Toronto and Vancouver.

On ideas that she has to offer fans on the tour, which kicks off in February, the “Supermodel” singer told Rolling Stone, “I just wanna give them the craziest experience they could ever have and play whatever they want. Whether it’s unreleased songs that they thought they heard on the internet, or their favorite album cuts or f**king deep cuts from 2012, I don’t care. I just wanna give them what they deserve and make it beautiful.”

“That’s my biggest goal, and I’m really excited and there’s nothing I enjoy more than being on stage and performing,” SZA continued. “It’s way different than this whole like, putting out shit on streaming and then watching people yell about it on Twitter. It’s way more human and it really makes it all worthwhile.”

According to Chart Data on Twitter, SOS is also currently number one on the US iTunes chart.
