Luka Doncic & Giannis Antetokounmpo To Face Off In International Game For First Time

by

Luka Doncic and Giannis Antetokounmpo continue to be two of the most elite players in the NBA. So far this season, the Greek Power Forward is averaging 32 points and nearly 12 rebounds per game. Comparatively, Doncic is averaging 34 points, to go along with his nearly nine rebounds and assists per game.

On Sunday (January 1), the Greek Basketball Federation announced that the two will face off in a friendly game. The game is set to be in Athens, Greece on August 4. The match will be between the two stars’ home countries – Greece vs. Slovenia.

The 2023 FIBA World Cup is taking place from August 25-September 10. The game between their countries will serve as a preparation game for the event. The tournament is expecting both players to play for their home countries, making this the first time the two will play each other in an international game.

Doncic is fresh off of his historic night last week, dropping an insane stat line. On Tuesday (December 27), he dropped 60 points, 21 rebounds and 10 assists in the Mavericks’ 126-121 win over the New York Knicks. The 23-year-old is the first player in NBA history to end a game with this stat line.

Both players did play in the 2022 FIBA EuroBasket last year. However, Germany is responsible for eliminating Greece, while Poland eliminated Slovenia. Both took place in the quarterfinals. Although it’s just a friendly match, it will certainly be entertaining to watch these two All-Stars square off in new territory.

Are you looking forward to Doncic and Antetokounmpo playing each other in international play? Comment down below. Finally, make sure to stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest updates.

North And Chicago West Twin In New TikTok, Kim K Explains Her Kid’s Social Media Rules

by

As the eldest of the Kardashian-West children, North has spent more time in the spotlight than any of her siblings. Her earliest years were documented on Keeping Up With the Kardashians. Now, the world has been watching the young girl grow up via her joint TikTok account with her mom.

In the past, the 9-year-old’s social media use has been a source of contention between her parents. The reality starlet encourages her daughter to have fun and express herself in creative and silly online videos. At the same time, Ye has been more focused on protecting his children’s privacy and innocence.

During a recent appearance on The goop Podcast, Kim and Gwyneth Paltrow had a candid conversation about navigating the online space as a parent. “[TikTok] can only be on my own phone,” the mother of four told the actress of her rules with her kids.

“It’s not something where she can scroll and look at things,” Kardashian went on. “We don’t do comments. She loves to do it and it makes her so happy. She’s so innocent in so many ways,” she additionally noted.

While the blocked comment section leaves some TikTok users disappointed, North’s content has been undeniably impactful over the past few months – especially when one is in need of a quick laugh or a feel-good moment.

In one of her recent videos, the internet sensation turned her little sister, Chicago West, into her mini-me.

Following suit of those who have been participating in the “turning my mom into me” challenge on the app, North put her own spin on it by styling her sibling as her.

Initially, we see the 4-year-old sporting a Batgirl costume and checkered Vans. When she returns, however, she looks just like big sis, rocking a black graphic tee, printed shorts, and rectangular sunglasses.

Check out the wholesome video for yourself below, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Summer Walker Welcomes Twins: “I’m So Proud Of Myself”

by

Summer Walker is welcoming the new year with two less babies in her womb, and two more in her arms Earthside. Recently, the Still Over It songstress gave birth to her second and third children, and though she and her ex Larry are no longer together, he was right by her side through the entire rollercoaster.

“I’m so proud of myself,” she wrote on Instagram over the weekend. “Just sharing to inspire other women, cause I know once you carry twins to almost 42 weeks, especially with one breech, people will try to steer you towards induction or C-section.”

Walker noted that there’s nothing wrong with either of these choices, they were just not what she personally wanted.

During her first experience, the Atlanta native opted for a home birth. Her celebrity status even allowed her to connect with Erykah Badu, who aided in the delivery of baby Bubbles. The renowned singer returned to help Walker once again for her second go and even brought her daughter along for extra support this time.

In fact, it was actually Badu who previously unofficially revealed that Walker was expecting twins. Since her initial post, fans have been eagerly awaiting confirmation that her family has expanded by two more.

On her Instagram, Walker opened up about the exhausting process and the support system that carried her through it. “You can do it, this was my second home birth. All natural, seven hours, no tearing. I couldn’t [have] done it without my spirit guides, Godparents, birth team, [and] my elders.”

Additionally, she gave a shoutout to Larry for being “the best dad doula ever.” According to the new mother, “he was so hands-on the whole time,” leaving her feeling particularly impressed.

“It wasn’t easy but it gets done,” Walker added. “Lol both births I almost blacked out at the end but eating your placenta will definitely keep you above water. I have thin blood so I always end up going to the hospital to bring myself back into good strength for them. As long as my kids stay at home untouched, I’m good.”

Alleged XXXTENTACION Murderer Says Drake Needs To Testify In Trial

by

It’s been nearly five years since XXXTENTACION was murdered in Florida at just 20 years old. However, his legacy lives on because of his expressive music that continues to touch his fanbase. However, the Florida native did have a rather controversial past with violent accusations.

The suspect in his murder, Dedrick Williams, has pleaded not guilty. Now, he’s calling on some big names to testify due to their alleged involvement.

Just a couple of weeks ago, Williams’ attorney listed a bunch of high-profile people as potential witnesses in the case. Joe Budden, 6ix9ine, Quavo, Takeoff (R.I.P.) and Drake are on this list.

New reports from AllHipHop indicate that the alleged murderer really wants Drake to testify at the trial. “The testimony of the said Aubrey Drake Graham is material to the case, and it is necessary to take the deposition of the said Aubrey Drake Graham to prevent the failure of justice,” says the document.

Drizzy and the “SAD!” rapper had a documented beef that began in 2017. Upon the Toronto star releasing his More Life project that year, the Florida native took exception to one of its tracks, “KMT.” X publicly claimed that Drake was stealing his flow and cadence on the song. The track that he’s allegedly ripping off is X’s mega-hit, “Look At Me!”

Williams and his attorney allegedly believe that Drizzy’s talking about the murder in one of his most recent songs, “On BS,” is him talking about the murder. “Damn, maybe I should do a twenty, maybe I should break that twenty, do a ten / Maybe I should break that ten, do a five, then if it gets live, do a five again / If he held his tongue on that live, he’d be alive again,” he raps in the second verse.

Additionally, Williams and his legal team also want DJ Akademiks to testify in the trial. His attorney claims that the media personality consistently makes comments about the case while streaming.

“Mr. Allen, who goes by the stage name ‘DJ Akademiks’ posted his podcast on December 21, where he openly discusses the case, acknowledges being served and states, ‘I am not showing up to court to talk to y’all n****s’. It is clear that nothing short of a court order will ensure Mr. Allen’s participation in a deposition,” the document reads elsewhere.

What are your thoughts on the situation? Do you think Drake should have to testify in the trial? Comment your thoughts down below. Finally, make sure to stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest updates.

Romeo & Master P Link Up To Settle Differences

by

After a messy back-and-forth, fans everywhere hoped that one of rap’s most important families would reconcile. Furthermore, Romeo and Master P delivered and put aside their differences as son and father in the holiday season. They previously called each other out on social media for their handling of daughter and sister Tytyana Miller. In the few weeks since that exchange, they seem to have made amends.

Furthermore, both artists made Instagram posts to acknowledge the reconciliation. Moreover, Romeo wrote about the struggles of family, what kept him going, and the love he has for his father.

“In order to be used, you have to be willing to be misunderstood and humiliated sometimes,” he wrote. “No one ever thought little David could defeat the giant, and we all know the mistreatment of Jesus.

“My point, I’m willing to fall on my sword for mines!” he continued. “It was never about parent vs child, or this false narrative or that, it was about doing whatever had to be done for the growth of my family. Today, December 31st, me and my father @masterp had very hard conversations; ironically outside in the rain, but in order for any generation to grow, that communication has to be had and reciprocated on both sides. The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Moreover, he concluded “No matter the journey ahead, our family can truly begin to heal and I believe many others will use our story as an example to learn from. What a way to close the year! Vivre (live) l’amour (love) et pardonner (forgive).”

Meanwhile, Master P’s post showed him taking self-accountability as a father and looking forward to healing with his family.

“Happy New Years 2023 is all about ‘Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead..” he wrote. “Pressing toward the Goal’ Philippians 3:13 As a parent, I’m growing, taking self-accountability and educating my family and the next generation. Love takes growth and forgiveness. Seek God first, and everything else will fall into place. @romeomiller and to all of my kids We All We Got!”

Still, what do you think of Romeo and Master P coming together after their differences? Let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest squashed beef, reconciliations, and healing in the community.

Drake’s July Swedish Detainment Caught On Camera, Rapper Finally Posts Video: Watch

by

The summer of 2022 was a big one for Drake, what with the arrival of his surprise Honestly, Nevermind album. That was an undeniably huge success for him. However, the warmer months also saw the Canadian rapper landing in some hot water with Swedish police.

Specifically, in July, he was detained by authorities regarding marijuana-related charges after partying in Stockholm. As HipHopDX notes, weed is still illegal in Sweden. At the time, Drizzy’s team vehemently denied any claims that he was in police custody.

Just a few days later, the father of one shared a document from the Swedish National Police Board. “Information for Those Suspected of a Crime and Subsequently Detained,” the document reads. It additionally outlined his rights, such as, “know what it is you are suspected of and why you are being denied,” and “receive the aid of a defence attorney who under certain conditions can only be paid by the state.”

During detainment, Drake also had the right to “receive food and rest as needed” as well as “receive the assistance of an interpreter during interrogations as needed.”

While the incident was in the headlines throughout the summer, it’s since been largely forgotten. This is largely due to the arrival of two new albums from the industry behemoth.

Surprisingly, Drake came through at the end of 2022 with some telling footage from the night of his detainment. In a photo dump on his Instagram feed, the father of one shows a clip of him heading towards a Swedish police car while wearing a bright orange sweatsuit.

In his caption, the wordsmith wrote, “The funds are useful / The lyrics are truthful / The suspects are usual / The opps are delusional.” He continues, “The finish line is beautiful / And the disrespect is mutual. See you in ’23.”

Of course, the post has people talking about Drake all across the internet. It’s certainly not the only reason why he’s making waves though. Another video, this one of the artist’s private jet, has been circulating after landing incredibly close to a group of people celebrating on the beach in St. Maarten.

Snoop Dogg Says Dionne Warwick “Out-Gangstered” Him 

by

Snoop Dogg is as gangster as it gets. But the West Coast legend claims another musical legend may be more gangster than he is. In a new clip from her upcoming CNN documentary, Dionne Warwick: Don’t Make Me Over, the soul legend revealed that she reprimanded Snoop and crew about their scandalous lyrics in the 90s. 

“I think what it was was that they needed to hear me,” she recalled. “I said, ‘You guys are all going to grow up and have families. You’re going to have children. Going to have little girls. And one day, that little girl is going to look at you and say, “Daddy, did you really say that? Is that really you?” What are you going to say?’ I think it got through to them.”

Snoop says he and his Death Row members were “shook” by Warwick’s words. “We were kind of, like, scared and shook up,” he told CNN. “We’re powerful right now, but she’s been powerful forever: thirtysome years in the game, in the big home with a lot of money and success.” 

Despite the initial shock, 51-year old rapper took heed to Ms. Dionne’s words. “She was checking me at a time when I thought we couldn’t be checked. We were the most gangsta as you could be, but that day at Dionne Warwick’s house, I believe we got out-gangstered that day,” Snoop shared.

Moving forward, the “Drop It Like It’s Hot” star made a point to be more positive in his music. 

“I made it a point to put out records of joy — me uplifting everybody and nobody dying and everybody living,” he said. “Dionne, I hope I became the jewel that you saw when I was the little, dirty rock that was in your house. I hope I’m making you proud.”

LaKeith Stanfield’s Baby Mama’s Blasted Him In Old Tweets

by

Sometimes, good news comes with some bad news as well. LaKeith Stanfield recently proposed to his girlfriend, but 24-year-old artist Tylor Hurd said that he is her daughter’s father. Moreover, she said that he’s been absent from her daughter Apollo’s life. Afterwards, old tweets of hers resurfaced that give credence to her confession.

However, it all started with an Instagram post she made sharing a TikTok of her maternity. In the clip, the Atlanta actor made various appearances, whether it was dancing with the child or holding her up. “Decided to leave being someone’s secret family in 2022,” she captioned the post. “Meet Apollo Stanfield.”

After many criticized her for sharing this bomb right when Stanfield proposed, she explained her situation. “Just to clear a few things up, I’m not jealous that he’s engaged to a woman he’s known for five months. I tried to meet the girl and everything and she ignored me when I tried.

“What I’m upset about,” she continued, “is that he’s made more time to spend with this woman than he’s spent with Apollo her whole life, and has been actively ignoring me when I’m trying to figure things out for our child. And those clips of him and her together are all I have in general cause he barely sees her.”

Furthermore, Hurd’s old tweets contain similar grievances and frustrations. Specifically, people are pointing to a December 23rd tweet from before this was all revealed.

“Dating a man with kids and being okay with him choosing holidays with you over his kids and y’all only been dating for 4 months says a lot about you not just him,” she tweeted. “Y’all both trifling.”

While this came about a week before the revelations, the big news didn’t come with a lack of details. Subsequently, Hurd (also known as 730t) tweeted some more about the relationship.

“I really feel a weight lifted off my shoulders,” she wrote. “Finding out the man you had a baby with is the worst person you ever met is heartbreaking fr.”

“He’s not a good dad lol i can count on my hand how many times he’s been with my girl,” she continued. “I got a job and he agreed to get the nanny never got the nanny. I always did my part and always tried to give him grace.”

For what it’s worth, Stanfield responded in since-deleted comments to the ordeal. “Thanks for respecting my not wanting to blast my child out to the internet. Very considerate of you,” he wrote.

Hurd responded as well. “Value your privacy, is that why you lied to people saying she wasn’t your baby or that I was just a random? You value your privacy but your gf post everything y’all do lol okay.”

Finally, the Sorry To Bother You actor responded with, “I never once in life said she wasn’t my baby. I hope this does whatever it was supposed to do for you… My adult relationship privacy and children are two different things. I’m sure you realize that.”

Yung Miami & Diddy Share Romantic New Year’s Eve Photo Dump

by

Yung Miami and Diddy – no one leaves the world more confused with their romantic antics than these two. We’ve seen the duo attend lavish parties and travel to the tropics together. Still, they maintain their respective single status.

For her part, the City Girl recently admitted having her baby daddy, Southside, on her roster of sneaky links. Diddy, however, fully had a child with another woman earlier this year. The world was utterly shocked by the news when it came out a few weeks back.

Miami has since clarified that she knew about the little one – Love Sean Combs – before the rest of the world. She revealed this during her interview with G Herbo on her Caresha Please podcast. The confession later got a noteworthy reaction from her beau.

On TikTok, the father of seven posted a video montage of him as Black Ass Santa, celebrating the holidays in various festive ways. Among them was turning into the Revolt TV series. At the time, he was quick to accuse the 27-year-old of flirting with his girl.

Of course, Twitter just as quickly poked fun at Diddy for not allowing Caresha to chat with other men when he got another woman pregnant.

Despite the drama the internet is trying to create, Miami is making it clear that she and Combs are unphased. On Saturday (December 31), she dropped off a series of photos that find her and the 53-year-old cruising on an ATV through the night.

“Idc if we on the run baby long as I’m next to you,” her caption reads. In the following snapshots, the “Twerkulator” artist poses on the deck of a luxury boat. Hugging her famous curves in a strapless silver dress, paired with chunky heels and minimal elegant jewellery.

It remains unclear if the snapshots are recent, or if Yung Miami and Diddy will be welcoming 2023 together. Check back later for updates on how all your favourite stars spend the big night.
