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.

Lori Harvey & Damson Idris Romance Rumours Run Rampant Online

by

The dating life of Lori Harvey is no stranger to the front pages of various blogs. Following her split from her long-term beau Michael B. Jordan earlier this year, the model has been enjoying the single-girl lifestyle. However, recent reports have linked her to another Hollywood heartthrob, and the gossip has the internet boldly speaking their minds.

According to Media Take Out, the 25-year-old has been surprisingly romantically tied to Snowfall actor Damson Idris as of late. Other past suitors said to have been spending time with her include Jack Harlow as well as Creed 3 actor Jonathan Majors.

While this is all just gossip and speculation (for now), the outlet didn’t stop there. In another spilling of juicy tea, they revealed that Harvey reportedly makes the men she dates sign an “air-tight” NDA with some serious financial consequences if broken.

“Lori makes [all the men] sign an NDA to make sure that whatever they talk about is personal and confidential,” a friend of the Memphis beauty’s unquestionably dished. The document specifically prohibits signees from sharing any photos or messages exchanged between them.

Additionally, it bans “saving any screen captures of their discussions or communications, including any video conferences.” Meanwhile, the cost of breaking the rules? Obviously a small penalty of a million dollars.

The same friend later says that the Los Angeles law firm previously responsible for Drake’s infamous NDAs wrote Harvey’s for her.

As expected, the gossip has Twitter users going accordingly feral. “If Lori Harvey is dating Damson I’m going to scream and throw up. Get away from him,” one particularly dramatic user wrote. Another added, “My goodness, she really don’t miss.”

“I could care less about Lori having NDAs. Is she really messing with Damson???? I need answers quickly,” someone else conversely joked.

Check out more equally entertaining reactions to the rumoured new romance below. Afterward, let us know what your thoughts are in the comments.

Tory Lanez & Megan Thee Stallion Trial Officially Underway

by

It’s been over two years since Tory Lanez allegedly shot Megan Thee Stallion in the foot. The trial is finally getting underway in Los Angeles.

Opening remarks serve as the first order of business and will begin today (December 12). The Canadian faces three felony counts.

If convicted of all charges, including assault and having a concealed weapon in a vehicle, he could spend upwards of 22 years in prison.

However, the Brampton-born rapper continues to maintain his innocence. He has pleaded not guilty to the felonies against him. It currently remains unclear if he will testify. His alleged victim, though, is due to take the stand later this week, according to a spokesman for the LA County DA’s office.

In August 2020, the “Savage” rapper officially came forward during an Instagram Live to accuse the 30-year-old of shooting her in the foot. The incident allegedly took place in July outside of a party hosted by Kylie Jenner in the Hollywood Hills.

The “Say It” singer broke his own silence the following month. He subsequently released DAYSTAR, a 17-track album in which he addresses his side of the story on multiple songs.

Namely, on “Money Over Fallouts,” the lyricist questions how Thee Stallion could’ve gotten shot in the foot without getting hit in any bones or tendons. Lanez’s first charge stemming from the incident came in October 2020.

On the other hand, the Traumazine rapper continues to defend her allegations.

She has never been afraid to clap back at people online who question her reality and trauma. The Texas native criticizes the difference in attitude towards violence against Black women compared to the dismissal of her truth.

In her April interview with CBS Mornings host Gayle King, the 27-year-old detailed her side of the story on television for the first time.

Stemming from a separate alleged assault with fellow artist August Alsina, the world was witness to Lanez subsequently being placed on house arrest in October. He has since been released.

Just last week, Lanez’s lawyer revealed that Kylie Jenner and Cory Gamble are among the possible witnesses of the alleged assault. Both were present at the 2020 party that the incident followed.

“I want him to go to jail,” Meg said of Tory when speaking to Rolling Stone earlier this year. The trial is expected to last at least two weeks.

Make sure to stay tuned to HNHH for the latest updates in the trial. What do you think the outcome will be? Comment down below.

Elon Musk To Increase Cost Of Twitter Blue For iPhone Users

by

Elon Musk and Twitter will be relaunching the Twitter Blue service on Monday. The company has announced that iPhone users will have to pay a higher fee to access the subscription.

“We’re relaunching @TwitterBlue on Monday,” the official Twitter account posted. “Subscribe on web for $8/month or on iOS for $11/month to get access to subscriber-only features, including the blue checkmark.”

The Twitter Blue service will allow subscribers access to a blue checkmark, the ability to edit tweets, and upload high-quality videos.

The decision to increase the price for iOS users comes following Musk’s feud with Apple. The increase is likely to cover a fee put forth on Twitter by Apple’s App Store. Musk called out the company on Twitter, last month, directly tagging Tim Cook in his posts.

In the time since, Musk and Cook have met up and come to a mutual understanding.

“Good conversation,” Musk said of meeting the Apple CEO. “Among other things, we resolved the misunderstanding about Twitter potentially being removed from the App Store. Tim was clear that Apple never considered doing so.”

Musk’s takeover of Twitter hasn’t come without its share of controversy. Massive layoffs, unbanning polarizing accounts, and more all culminated in the Telsa CEO being booed on stage with Dave Chappelle on Sunday night in San Francisco.

YNW Melly Is “In Fear Of [His] Life” According To Lengthy IG Posts

by

Even from behind bars, YNW Melly has been getting desperate messages out to his fans via Instagram. Earlier this month, he publicly pleaded with figures like Joe Biden, Kim Kardashian, and Meek Mill to help him. Now, the Broward County-born star is back with more allegations about the unfortunate treatment he’s enduring while awaiting trial.

“As of this moment today I am officially in fear of my life,” Melly wrote on Monday (December 12) afternoon. “A new Captain named Hubert and XO Jenkins have taken over the jail for two weeks now. They’ve handed out even harsher punishments for me [than] the previous ones in place.”

According to his account, the 23-year-old moved into a housing unit that holds 24 inmates at once. He’s been staying there alone, with no phone privilege, no television, and no access to a newspaper. “They are watching my every move on camera. Making sure I don’t use the phone to tell the world how I am being mistreated, discriminated, threatened physically, harassed,” he alleges.

Additionally, Melly says that on the one hour a day he is let out of his cell, all other inmates in adjoining dorms go to their respective rooms. “I am being subjected to cruel and unusual treatment at the hands of deputies and high-ranking staff of the Broward Sheriff’s Office,” he insists.

“I have been threatened by Deputies, Lieutenants and Sergeants. They say ‘they will hide me from the world’ and threaten to ‘beat my ass every day.’ If I tell my lawyers they will lie and say I hit them first,” the Florida native adds. Specifically, he credits the threats to Sergeant Anthony Kidd and Lieutenant Jean Baptiste.

The staff have apparently succeeded in their goal of hiding him. Now, Melly believes that their next step is “beating [him] half to death.” This is something he says happens “to other inmates almost daily at the main jail” in Broward County.

Shortly after, another message appeared on the “Murder On My Mind” artist’s profile. “I can’t call my family or lawyers to notify them I have been beaten or harassed,” he vents to his fans in this one. “They say my phone privileges are taken permanently because [of] all of the infractions over the last seven months. THAT IS A LIE!”

“They took my phone privileges indefinitely off of my 1st violation for using another inmate’s pin to talk on the phone when I am not allowed to use the phone,” he explains. Additionally, Melly notes that other inmates in the same circumstance would have gotten their privileges back after 30 days, “per the handbook.”

The recording artist is feeling frustration, particularly after seeing others planning escapes and robberies with jail phones and still having their privileges.

“I am housed and surrounded in the care of power-struck deputies and captains of high authority. They’ve even have told me to my face that ‘they don’t like me’ and ‘I pissed them off,’” Melly’s rant goes on. “I am not safe in the hands of these people,” he insists.

He concluded, “I am in fear of my life. My family is in fear of my life. I can not do another day here. Someone, please help me get moved to another county jail until my trial. PLEASE!”

In other recent news, YNW Melly’s mother was recently questioned over alleged witness tampering in her son’s case. Read more about that here, and check back with HNHH later for more news updates.
