Nicki Minaj Victim Of Swatting Over False Child Abuse & House Fire Claims

by

Just last week, Nicki Minaj made a very exciting announcement to fans via Twitter – her next LP is nearly ready. It’s finally set to drop on October 20. The untitled project will be her first since 2018’s Queen. It’s already been teased with singles like “Super Freaky Girl” and “Red Ruby Da Sleeze.” It’s obvious that Minaj is doing what she can to keep her energy focused ahead of the big drop, but according to TMZ, some haters are seemingly doing what they can to throw her off.

On Monday (June 5), the Trinidadian received a visit from the police after child services received an anonymous call. Allegations claimed that Minaj is abusing her nearly three-year-old son, Papa Bear, along with her husband Kenneth Petty. Authorities took a trip to the “Barbie Dreams” hitmaker’s home around 6 PM. At this time they reportedly spoke with the couple and saw that their little boy is fine. Sources believe the call came in as an act of swatting (placing a prank call with the hope of drumming up police presence at someone’s home), which has become a serious problem across the nation.

It would seem Minaj has left someone with a bad taste in their mouth, as that same day another call came in late at night, reporting that her home was on fire. This was later discovered to be completely false, same with recent similar incidents involving Adin Ross and Madison Beer. Insiders say that the fashionista doesn’t intend to let this stunt go unnoticed. Rather, she’s hired lawyers to expose the people behind the drama and hold them accountable.

Elsewhere in the news, Nicki Minaj was recently hit with a lawsuit for allegedly damaging borrowed jewelry. Her attorney has since dismissed the drama as a ploy for publicity, but time will tell how things play out for the Queen of Rap.

Jimmy Butler Moons Bam Adebayo During Press Conference

by

The Miami Heat tied up the NBA Finals on Sunday night with a 111-108 victory over the Denver Nuggets. Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo were both key contributors in the victory, both scoring 21 points. Their stat lines were mirror images, with Butler adding 9 rebounds and 4 assists. Meanwhile, Adebayo contributed 4 rebounds and 9 assists. Furthermore, Adebayo was the last scorer of the game, sinking two free throws to put the up five with 45 seconds to go.

The NBA Finals continue in Miami on June 7, with both sides looking to take that all-important lead. However, Miami’s clutch win isn’t the only thing people are talking about in regard to Game 2. Turns out there’s a little bit of behind-the-scenes footage from the post-game press conference that’s going viral. Furthermore, the video shows a fun side to Butler and Adebayo’s off-court friendship. The pair have been teammates since 2019 when Butler joined the Heat. Adebayo was drafted by Miami in 2017. Additionally, they have both won Olympic medals with Team USA, just not together. Butler won his in 2016 and Adebayo took home gold in 2020.

Butler Moons Adebayo

The video, which appears to come from Butler’s Instagram and has since been widely shared, shows Butler backstage at the Game 2 press conference. Bam Adebayo can be seen on stage, addressing the media. Butler turns around and drops his pants before beginning to try and attract Adebayo’s attention. Someone can be heard trying to call Butler off but the Miami star persists. Adebayo finally notices, presumably getting a full view of Butler’s ass before returning to the press conference and asking a reporter to repeat their question.

It’s a fun and wholesome moment. but not wholly unexpected. Butler is a well-known prankster. Last month, it was reported that Butler had developed a love of country music from one notable prank. Attempting to prank his college teammates with Tim McGraw’s “Don’t Take The Girl”, Butler ended up falling in love with the genre. Elsewhere, Butler’s infamous dreadlocks from preseason camp were also revealed to be a masterful troll from the NBA superstar. What do you think about Butler’s prank? Let us know in the comments.

Omar Epps & Marlon Wayans Reminisce Over 2Pac’s Out Of Pocket “Juice” Prank

by

On The Daily Show, Omar Epps and guest host Marlon Wayans talked about 2Pac and recalled a prank that the rapper had performed during the filming of Juice. It had made Epps super mad at the time, but he now laughs back at it. They spent most of the segment talking about their history together as friends, and a little bit about Epps’ new book. Epps and Wayans were friends since childhood. At first, they did not like each other. However, after they fought each other and learned that they had the same fighting style, they became best friends.

Juice was Tupac’s second movie. The first was Dan Akyroid’s 1991 Nothing But Trouble. However, he was only a background character in that movie, so it does not really count. People had high hopes for Tupac’s acting career, with some even saying that he was a better actor than he was an actor. He would continue on to appear in five more movies and two tv episodes, before his passing in 1996, something that J. Prince believes could have been prevented.

2Pac’s Jokester Ways

Wayans explains that Tupac had a penchant for pranking the cast members. One time, Epps had fallen asleep with his mouth open, so Tupac pulled out his testicles and put them near his mouth. Epps admits he was very mad about it at the time, but he now finds it funny. He even admits that it would have gone viral if the internet was as massive back then as it is today. He also tells Wayans that he would be upset too if he woke up to find somebody’s testicles near his mouth.

2Pac was a big jokester. It does not matter when or where he was. He was always willing to play jokes on people. DJ Quik had this to say about him during a recent interview. “Outside of the studio, he was a jokester – bagging on n-ggas, joking, fun. We toured a little bit. He got in my ass one time too. We were about to get into a fight because he thought I was stealing his stage show — like when he would rap and jump up on the speakers.”

Maino Says Video Of Him Choking YouTuber Was Staged

by

Maino says that the viral video of him putting his hands on a YouTuber was actually staged. In the clip, Maino grows frustrated with the prankster for asking to borrow his chain during an interview. Appearing on Way Up With Angela Yee, Monday morning, Maino explained that he was in on the joke.

“It was all part of the prank. It was fake,” Maino explained to Lee. “I wanted to make it look real.” When complimented for being a “good actor,” he replied, “Yes. I’m great at it.” Not everyone believed Maino’s explanation. One commenter wrote in response, “He prolly gave homie a couple dollars to keep it moving!!!” Another noted, “Y’all forgot Maino choked a reporter years ago.”

Maino’s Explanation

As for the viral clip, the YouTuber, who goes by Buba100x, approaches Maino in a crowded room. “Can I borrow your chain?” Buba100x asks. “I can’t borrow your chain? Let me borrow it. Let me put on your chain so I can see how it feel. I wanna see how it feel to have on the chain.” Maino, who appears irritated, responds: “See, now you just chatting. I gave you a time, now you just chatting.” Buba100x then asks, “On a scale of 1-10, how badly do you think I can beat your ass?” to which the rapper grabs his neck. While holding on to the YouTuber, Maino warns him: “I just told you, it’s not just a stupid video. Don’t play with me.”

As for music, Maino dropped his latest album, a collaborative effort with Jim Jones titled The Lobby Boyz, back in May 2022. The project featured appearances from Fabolous, Styles P, Benny The Butcher, Fivio Foreign, Yung Bleu, Dave East, Young M.A, and more.

Buba100x’s interview with Maino isn’t the only negative interaction he’s had with a rapper as of late. He also filmed a prank video with Bronx drill rapper Nas EBK. In the video, they both went to a ShopRite and pulled various pranks on customers. At one point, Nas got into a physical altercation with one of the store’s employees. Afterward, he was charged with terroristic threats and assault.

Maino Chokes Out YouTuber Over Failed Prank Attempt

by

Buzzing YouTuber Buba100x is apparently willing to do whatever it takes to become the next big figure on the platform. The YouTuber’s gained significant steam over the past few months, thanks to the success of his prank videos. What began with innocuous practical jokes, like ding dong ditch, and videos of blind dates, he eventually began getting acquainted with rappers in the local drill scene. From there, his views began to grow astronomically, though some of his pranks have undoubtedly led to some trouble.

Last month, Buba100x shared a controversial prank video alongside budding drill rapper Nas EBK. In the video, Buba and Nas head into a ShopRite where they disturb many customers. While the video shared on Buba’s page gained 430K+ views, it resulted in charges against Nas EBK. At one point, Buba and EBK get into an argument with an employee before EBK pulls what appears to be a knife out of his pocket. “Walk toward me again and I’ll violate you,” EBK said before allegedly kicking the employee and running out of the store. Though Buba didn’t face charges, police arrested Nas EBK for terroristic threats and assault. 

Buba100x Tries Maino & Fails

Despite the recent brush with the law, Buba100x continues to keep a consistent stream of content on deck. Most recently, he interviewed Maino for his YouTube channel but things got intense after Buba asked to wear the rapper’s chain. “See, now you just chatting. I gave you a time, now you just chatting,” Maino said, unimpressed with Buba’s request. However, things took a turn for the worse when Buba tried to up the ante.

“On a scale of 1-10, how badly do you think I can beat your ass?” Buba asked Maino, who was not willing to entertain the question. The Lobby Boyz rapper took Buba by the neck and pinned him to a table before warning him. “I just told you, it’s not just a stupid video. Don’t play with me,” Maino said. Though it could’ve been part of a prank, people in the background appeared to be shocked by Maino’s reaction. “Damn, he’s really choking him,” one person’s heard saying in the background. Check the prank above. 

Drill Rapper & YouTuber Nas EBK Arrested & Charged With Terroristic Threats: Report

by

Drill rapper Nas EBK has turned into one of the most buzzing rappers out of New York right now. The budding Bronx star has dished out several singles over the past months that have caught everyone’s attention and turned him into one of the most talked about new artists out of New York’s drill scene. However, part of the discussion surrounding his name isn’t necessarily from music. He also made a solid career as a YouTuber, which has undoubtedly played a significant role in his recent success as an artist.

Nas EBK’s had a few viral moments, thanks to the viral pranks he pulls for his YouTube channel. Though pranks videos are nothing new to the YouTube community, it’s certainly grown in tandem with TikTok. Some of them prove to be hilarious while others seem harmful. Unfortunately, the videos that fall in the latter category can also lead to actual repercussions involving law enforcement, which is the case for Nas EBK.

Police Arrest Nas EBK For Terroristic Threats

Per Northjersey.com, police arrested Nas EBK, real name Nasir Valenzuela, this week after a prank at a ShopRite went left. U.S. Marshals picked up Valenzuela on Tuesday in Penns Grove and charged him with terroristic threats and assault following a prank video that was shot in Rochelle Park. The video was posted on Buba100x’s YouTube page where they walk around ShopRite, asking shoppers strange questions and screaming at them.

Nas EBK eventually got physical with some of the people involved in these pranks. At one point, he took a hat off of an employee’s head, which escalated to violence. Nas EBK and Buba began to argue with the employee before the latter brandished a knife, according to police. “Walk toward me again and I’ll violate you,” the rapper said in the video before kicking the man. EBK, Buba, and the filmmaker fled the scene afterward before authorities arrived to the scene. Police charged EBK with possession of a weapon for unlawful purposes, simple assault, terroristic threats, and disorderly conduct. He’s currently being held in Bergen County Jail. We’ll keep you posted on any further updates.

Tiger Woods Apologizes For Tampon Prank

by

Tiger Woods recently apologized for a tampon prank on Justin Thomas on Thursday (February 16) during the Genesis Invitational. Moreover, the golf billionaire slipped Thomas a tampon into his hand when the latter failed to outdrive him. While Woods said that it was all in good fun, he expressed that he didn’t realize how others might take offense. He explained to reporters that “it was supposed to be all fun and games and obviously it hasn’t turned out that way. If I offended anybody, it was not the case, it was just friends having fun.”

Furthermore, many took issue with the 47-year-old’s prank, calling it juvenile and potentially disrespectful. After all, many could interpret this as Woods establishing his manhood over Thomas or insinuating some gendered bias. However, both laughed at the prank, and many online believe Tiger has no reason to apologize. “Luv yew @TigerWoods,” one user wrote on Twitter. “Everyone offended stinks. There’s no way real people were offended. Only fake Twitter offended.” On the other hand, others expressed confusion over why this specific instance shook people. Of course, people draw their own personal lines, but even socially progressive folks raised their eyebrows a bit.

Still, plenty of people voiced reasonable criticism of the prank and brought up Tiger’s relationship history. “Sports commentators laughing, and the fact that Tiger Woods had the tampon in his pocket, ready for the right moment to disrespect women, again,” one tweeter expressed. “Yeah, I guess Tiger might want to get a refresher on all that therapy he had after his first wife discovered what his other hobby was.” Another wrote, “Tiger Woods handing a tampon as a form of trash talk between friends on or off tv was offensive and he should have apologized. If you’re wondering ‘WhO wAs OfFeNdEd’ it’s me. We can talk about it too.”

Overall, it’s another case of both opinions clashing strongly, quickly, and antagonistically on social media. For what it’s worth, Woods actually seemed quite choked up during his apology. Whether you took offense to his act or not, there’s nothing useful to do about it. Instead, just go about your day and keep that Twitter rant in the drafts. Regardless, stay tuned to HNHH for more viral debates and the latest on Tiger Woods.

Billie Eilish’s L.A. Home Visited By Police After False Alarm

by

Police officers arrived at Billie Eilish’s home in Los Angeles on Wednesday after a prankster alleged to authorities that the singer was in trouble. According to TMZ, several Glendale P.D. squad cars ascended on the home to check on Eilish’s wellbeing. There, they spoke with members of Billie’s team and determined everything to be alright.

Despite Wednesday’s incident being a false alarm, Eilish is better safe than sorry considering a recent scare at her home. Eilish got a 5-year restraining order against Christopher Anderson after he allegedly broke into the family home, last month. Anderson professed his love for the 21-year-old singer. Her mom, dad, and brother, Finneas are also protected by the restraining order. Police were most recently called to the house on January 5 after someone was trying to scale the fence to get into the property.

Eilish’s Family Home

Eilish also recently discussed the online hate she receives while speaking with Lana Del Rey for Interview magazine. In the piece, she reflected on her reaction to a TikTok post accusing her of being a “horrible person.” “I have this inevitable feeling of, ‘Oh, everyone hates me,’ ” Eilish confessed. “With the world of TikTok and social media, there is a level where it’s kind of true, because there are these videos. I’m lying in bed last night, and I go on TikTok because I’m falling asleep, and I just want to be mindless for a second, watch some funny videos,” she said. “I keep scrolling and I’m thinking, ‘Billie, put your phone away. You’re getting tired.’ Then I swipe to the next one and it’s a video with millions of likes and it’s something about how I’m a horrible person. And all these comments are like, ‘I’m so glad that you guys are seeing through her.’ And I’m like, ‘Damn.’ “

A similar police-related issue recently plagued Britney Spears. Fans called cops to the singer’s house after she deleted her Instagram page. Spears ended up being totally fine and the police left without worry. Spears later explained deleting the page. She wrote on Twitter: “There were too many people saying I looked like an idiot dancing and that I looked crazy.”

Quando Rondo Calls Out YouTuber Who Pranks Him With Fake Diamond Test

by

Quando Rondo was angry with a YouTuber who tried to prank him with a fake diamond tester during a video shared on social media. In the clip, YouTuber DatBoyQ tried to convince the Georgia rapper that his jewelry was not authentic.

As the results continue to come back negative, Rondo gets flustered.

“Man, lil’ bruh, quit playing with me, man,” he said initially after the results arrived.

Afterward, Quando took the YouTuber and his crew to his jeweler, Crescent Jewelers for a real opinion. There, his jewelry is confirmed to be real.

“Where your diamond tester at? They trolling me with they little fake diamond tester. I don’t know what they got going on,” Quando Rondo told the jeweler. “I ain’t gon’ lie, I don’t even know y’all boys. Y’all got that fake-ass diamond tester and shit. Lil’ bruh, y’all playing, n****s gets murked like that. And get laughed at, ‘Ah ha, he dead.’”

The incident comes a month after Rondo shared a collaborative mixtape with NBA YoungBoy, 3860. The project features a sole guest appearance from Lul Timm. It marked YoungBoy’s seventh project of a busy 2022 although it was only Rondo’s first. Speaking about the tape on Never Broke Again Radio, YoungBoy admitted that Rondo is a better rapper than him.

“It’s crazy, I don’t know,” YoungBoy said. “The world be hating so bad, and I be keeping it so gangsta. Man, Quando rap way better than me, and them bitches be hating on my five. I don’t like that twisted ass shit.”

Check out the YouTube prank video featuring Rondo below.
