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.

by

Jeffree Star caused a storm on Twitter yesterday (December 30th) when he claimed the Illuminati tried to ruin his life. Moreover, he said that he evaded the supposed world order for the last two years and that any challengers to their system are persecuted.

“What a crazy f***ing year…” he wrote in his first tweet. “I escaped the illuminati in 2021 and they still haven’t killed me. Every day I wake up grateful.”

Later, a user replied with “The elites are real. Kanye is in hiding because they are trying to get him for exposing a lot of s**t. Blood sacrifices are real. Stay safe Jeffree.” However, the Kanye connection is curious, as people started rumors of a romance between the two.

Still, Jeffree replied with “You have no idea what you are talking about… “It’s 10 times worse than you can ever imagine. Just be thankful you are on the other side.

Later, the 37-year-old wrote “In 2020 I was going to expose everything… In a matter of days, the Hollywood elite tried to ruin my entire career, villainize me and flooded the news with lies to discredit me. If you guys only knew the truth about what they are doing to Britney & Kanye.”

“Anyone who challenges the system gets eliminated,” he tweeted after. “I still have a soul. Can’t say that about a lot of these demons I used to surround myself with.” However, since that initial bomb, he let out some more thankful and positive messages.

Meanwhile, Star is no stranger to explosive revelations. He said that sex with other rappers and NBA players has been “great,” though he didn’t disclose any specific names. Still, it was enough to get people speculating.

Still, what do you think of Jeffree Star exposing the Illuminati? Regardless, let us know in the comments down below.

Ab-Soul Calls His Latest Album, “HERBERT” Top 5 Of The Year

by

As 2022 quickly comes to a close, fans and artists alike are continuing to share their favorite music of the year.

Ab-Soul’s latest offering, HERBERT, has only been out for a couple of weeks. Regardless, the L.A. native thinks it’s a top-five album of the year.

He took to his Twitter account on Friday (December 30) to share his thoughts on his own fifth studio album. “ALSO. My album IS top 5 of da year. F*cc all dat humble sh*t. Dead homies,” he writes in his remark. Evidently, being humble isn’t in the “Illuminate” rapper’s New Year’s resolutions. However, the argument is definitely a fair one, as the album has garnered a positive reception.

The project serves as the TDE rapper’s first album in six years, following 2016’s Do What Thou Wilt. Throughout HERBERT‘s 18-song tracklist, the 35-year-old explicitly addresses the state of his mental health and his battles with depression.

As part of the rollout for the album, Ab-Soul sat down with Charlamagne Tha God for an intimate interview. During the pair’s talk, which lasted for over an hour, Soulo opens up about a suicide attempt.

“I pretty much finished the album before I did what I did. I jumped off a freeway overpass, man. It was about 50 feet. I think a car broke my fall. [I] walked from my mom’s house to the bridge and jumped off on the freeway overpass. Imagine, like, you’re walking and you blink and then you’re further. You blink and then you’re further, you blink and then I’m on a fence,” he details.

“My jaw is f*cked up. I got a lotta work to do still. I’m about 85% on my foot. My foot is completely reconstructed, all the way to my pelvis, my femur, everything, was affected except my knee. If my knee would’ve been affected, I might not be walking,” he says after stating that he wasn’t in control while it was happening.

HERBERT boasts features from the likes of Joey Bada$$, Jhené Aiko, Russ, Big Sean and others. Furthermore, it evidently showcases Soul getting deeply introspective.

Considering it was released so late into the year, it will certainly be interesting to see how many year-end lists it makes its way onto.

What are your thoughts on HERBERT? Is it cracking your year-end list? Comment down below. Finally, make sure to stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest updates in music and pop culture.

Bryan Kohberger, Alleged Idaho Killer, Described As “Quiet But Intense” By Fellow Students

by

In wake of Bryan Kohberg’s identity finally coming to light, more information about the alleged University of Idaho killer is circulating. Following Friday’s (December 30) arrest, the former Ph.D. student’s classmates have been speaking out about their experiences with him.

As TMZ reports, the 28-year-old reportedly had a more “animated” attitude in class after carrying out the heinous murders. He was studying criminology in a graduate program at Washington State University. Previously, he earned a degree in criminal justice from DeSales University in Pennsylvania.

Speaking with the New York Times, fellow student B.K. Norton told the outlet that he “quickly noticed some red flags” in the time after the killings that weren’t as obvious earlier in the semester. “[Bryan] seemed more upbeat and willing to carry a conversation,” they recalled.

In their email, they additionally stated that Kohberger’s interests were leaning heavily toward forensic psychology. His demeanour is “quiet, but intense,” and apparently makes those around him uncomfortable. It’s also been said that he made remarks about being obviously anti-LGBTQ.

“He sort of creeped people out because he stared and didn’t talk much, but when he did it was very intelligent and he needed everyone to know he was smart,” Norton’s character statement claims.

At this time, many details regarding the deaths of Xana, Ethan, Kaylee, and Madison remain unknown. The Moscow Police Department hosted a press conference yesterday, at which time they answered questions in as much detail as possible.

Presently, Kohberger remains in Pennsylvania where he was arrested. The plan is to extradite him back to Idaho, where further proceedings can piece together the gruesome story.

Authorities have asked the public to continue to submit tips, even with the suspect charged and in custody. They’re looking for any piece of information that can bring justice to the victim’s families.

Read what the Moscow PD had to say on Friday here. RIP.

Michael Jackson’s Three Kids Enjoy Snow Day

by

Amid the holiday season, families everywhere are looking for good times to spend together, even the most famous ones. Michael Jackson’s three children Paris, Prince, and Bigi went for a snow day together in Tahoe.

WESTWOOD, CA – NOVEMBER 27: In this handout photo provided by Mohamed Hadid, singer Michael Jackson (3rd R) poses with real estate developer Mohamed Hadid (3rd L), Hadid’s children and Jackson’s children Michael Joseph Jr. (L), Paris Michael Katherine (C) and Prince Michael II (2nd R) on November 27, 2008 at the Jackson Holmby Hills residence in Westwood, California. Michael Jackson spent his final days in the house that Hadid had originally built and that Jackson leased for $100,000 a month from the current owner. Hadid, who calls himself a close friend of Michael Jackson, spent some of Jackson’s last days with him and is now speaking out about Jackson’s health and state of mind during the last few weeks before his death. (Photo by Mohamed Hadid via Getty Images)

While people’s interest is natural, it also speaks to MJ’s lasting impact and influence as a pop culture icon. Moreover, his 1982 album Thriller returned to the Billboard Top 10 a couple of weeks ago.

Paris, 24, wore a brown puffer coat with a matching vest. She also donned another color combo: burgundy pants with gloves. Meanwhile, the 25-year-old Prince wore a black jacket and trousers with a helmet-clad ski mask. Bigi, who is 20, also wore a black jacket and combined it with black trousers.

All in all, they had some fun times on December 26th. Moreover, Paris posted some clips to her Instagram story of some struggles on the snow. She fell off of her snowboard in the clip, captioning it with “Can’t stop… like properly.”

Even with all the fun and staying busy with projects, like Paris’s music career, they still remember their dad. On Halloween this year, Prince spoke to E! News about honoring the King of Pop’s legacy every day, as an artist and father.

“I have photos of him and the uncles inside my house,” he expressed, “I have artistic paintings of him around my house. I like to lead my life with love, which is what he taught me and I try to help at least one person a day and I feel like that is a way of continuing his legacy.”

Meanwhile, these children also have his music to cherish and celebrate his life through. Prince stated that he feels his father coming through in his music in a way that feels more intimate than you’d expect.

“I was given so many awesome nuggets of information when I had him with me as a father and he was also very personable in the way he wrote his music,” he said. “If you listen to it, there’s a lot of him in that. It’s awesome to put it on and feel connected to him again in that way.”

Did you have a snow day of your own this holiday season, famous family or not? Let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, stay tuned to HNHH for more wholesome celebrity outings.

by

Lil Wayne’s videographer for Young Money Skate, Phil Lopez, gifted the rapper a “pro model” board in celebration of him officially becoming a professional skateboarder. Wayne shared a picture of himself receiving the gift on Instagram, earlier this month.

“THANK YOU, GANG!” Wayne captioned the photo.

Pro skaters Torey Pudwill, Keelan Dadd, and Yosef Ratleff were all in attendance when Lopez gifted Wayne the board. It features a childhood photo of the rapper as well as some of his favorite lyrics.

“This was a Christmas gift, but I decided to turn it into a surprise because it would be more meaningful that way,” Lopez said in a video. “As Wayne’s videographer, I wanted to do something special for him that he’d remember. I approached Torey, owner of Thank You Skate Co., with the board design, and he was able to help execute the production process.”

Continuing in the spirit of giving, Wayne and Young Money president Mack Maine spent the holidays inviting 150 kids to celebrate “A Weezy Christmas” at Dave & Busters. There, they partnered with Wilson Sporting Goods to give all the attendees new sports equipment.

“I know you love sports like I love sports, so I hit up my people at Wilson Sports Goods to give you the gift of game,” Weezy said in a video message shared to the kids.

He added: “I specifically picked everything out for you myself. I hope you love everything and I hope you have an amazing holiday. This was an honor to do.”
