Ashanti Isn’t Here For Nelly’s Jokes About Her Pregnancy

April 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Nelly and Ashanti are celebrating the latter’s pregnancy quite happily, but their engagement doesn’t mean that the future spouses can’t cross each other’s boundaries. Moreover, the two had a pretty funny Instagram Story exchange recently that had fans wondering whether things were as cheeky in person as they were online. To explain, the Country Grammar MC posted a picture of his boo sitting on his leg on Sunday (April 28) on his IG Story, captioning it: “Of course not beautiful I’m fine..!! Luv u2 @ashanti.” He seemed to insinuate that she was putting a strain on his leg, to which she had the following IG Story response in her repost: “Lmaoooooo!!!! Babe!!!! Ima knock u out!!!!!!”

From there, they started to joke about their history together, as well as engaging in a fair share of backtracking and explaining that anyone in a relationship can relate to. “What my love..??? I didn’t say anything..!! To me you still the same size you were in 2005..!!” Nelly responded to Ashanti’s clap-back. “Lmfaoooooooo!!!! Lemme go pull out these bikini shots from 05!!!” she replied.

Elsewhere, the couple has spent a long time just living life and enjoying their company as pregnancy rumors ran rampant online. Finally, in an interview with Essence magazine that coincided with a partnered announcement of the upcoming birth and wedding, Ashanti expressed her excitement for this amazing chapter in her life. “This new year of my life is such a blessing full of love, hope and anticipation,” she remarked. “Motherhood is something that I have looked forward to, and sharing this with my family, fiancé, and loyal fans, who have been so supportive of my career, is an amazing experience.”

Meanwhile, the St. Louis rapper was recently the subject of some debate after a clip came out of him performing for a pretty empty stadium, save for some souls in the stands and in the pit. Folks couldn’t tell whether it was an actual concert or just a soundcheck for one, but it went viral regardless. No matter what it was, we’re sure that Nelly is happy to stick by Ashanti’s side and stay focused on their journey together over any sort of social media gossip. Let’s just see whether he holds his tongue the next time he thinks about speaking on his boo’s belly.

Draya Michele Responds To Hate Amid Jalen Green Relationship & Pregnancy: “Mean Is Mean”

April 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Draya Michele has been subject to a tremendous amount of criticism in recent months. This is largely due to her controversial relationship with Jalen Green, who’s almost 20 years younger than her. The 39-year-old announced that the two of them are expecting a child together last month, which only added fuel to the fire.

Despite all of the backlash, Michele has been keeping her fans in the loop about her pregnancy, opening up about her struggles, asking for tips from fellow moms, and documenting her growing bump. Recently, however, she took the opportunity to address all the hate she’s been receiving online.

Draya Michele Says She’s “Just Trying To Survive”

A post shared by HOLLYWOOD UNLOCKED (@hollywoodunlocked)

In a series of Instagram Stories shared yesterday, the personality emphasized the pros and cons of using social media and claimed that those using it to spread hate need to stop. “Socia media is used as therapy for those who enjoy sharing their real life stories,” she wrote. “It also seems to be a source of something for the people who comment negativity… Perhaps a release of some sort. But idk. Mean is mean. And as a human race… we gotta do better. People are very mean in the comments… Besides feeling bad to myself… I would never type out my opinions to people. Especially not those just trying to (like i said) survive and make the best of it.”

Clearly, the expecting mother is fed up with all of the relentless scrutiny. Unfortunately, however, it doesn’t look like it’ll come to an end any time soon. What do you think of Draya Michele receiving backlash for her pregnancy and relationship with Jalen Green? Do you agree with what she said about hate on social media? Do online critics need to back off? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

April 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A viral clip of Rihanna seemingly taking a sip of champagne during a recent Fenty Beauty event in Los Angeles is going viral on social media as supposed evidence that she’s pregnant with another child.

“She’s so pregnant again and she won’t stop until she has a daughter,” one fan wrote in response to the clip on Twitter. Another joked: “The fake sipping? When I catch Asap Rocky.” One more replied: “This lets me know Asap Rocky just wasting time and resources with his antics lately LOL.”

Rihanna recently admitted that she’s willing to have more children with Rocky during a conversation with Mel Ottenberg for Interview magazine. “As many as God wants me to have,” she revealed when asked if she’s willing to have more children. “I don’t know what God wants, but I would go for more than two. I would try for my girl. But of course, if it’s another boy, it’s another boy.” She also explained of their relationship: “I let god lead and just let go. Because in previous relationships, I tried and tried and tried my best, and you still feel like it’s not enough. So when someone sees you completely, and believes in you, and thinks you’re worthy of being the mother of their kids, it’s a great feeling. I felt the same about him. I knew he would be a great dad.”

Halle Bailey Shares Her “Severe, Severe” Experience With Postpartum Depression

April 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Halle Bailey recently gave birth to her first child with DDG, Halo. Overall, the baby boy seems happy and healthy, with both parents enjoying their newfound responsibility. However, in a new interview with People, Bailey spoke about some of the struggles she has faced since giving birth. In fact, she has had to deal with postpartum depression, which is one of the toughest battles someone can face. Although it has been a hard battle, Bailey is pushing through, and she has been extremely brave in detailing her story.

“I have severe, severe postpartum, and I don’t know if any new moms can relate, but it’s to the point where it’s really bad, and it’s hard for me to be separated from my baby for more than 30 minutes at a time before I start to kind of freak out,” Bailey explained. “Halo is a miracle. He is perfect. He is beautiful. When I look at him, I cry because of how special he is. The only thing that’s been hard for me is feeling normal in my own body. I feel like a completely different person. When I look in the mirror, I just feel like I’m in a whole new body. Like, I don’t know who I am.”

Halle Bailey Speaks

Bailey admits that some time ago, she kind of dismissed the idea of postpartum depression. Now, however, she knows better, as it has become a daily battle for her. “Before I had a child and I would hear people talk about postpartum, it would kind of just go in one ear and out the other. I didn’t realize how serious of a thing it actually was,” she noted. “Now going through it, it almost feels like you’re swimming in this ocean that’s like the biggest waves you’ve ever felt and you’re trying not to drown. And you’re trying to come up for air.”

In an interview with PEOPLE published Wednesday (April 10), the football and baseball legend shared some surprising thoughts.

First off, he admitted that there’s “not one thing” that excites him about becoming a first-time grandfather soon, and that he’s still letting the news sink in. “I haven’t digested that whole thing yet,” Eli Manning’s co-signee told the publication concerning his daughter’s pregnancy with Jacquees. “I’m proud of my baby that she’s at least waited until her thirties to give me this gift of life.” Also, Deion Sanders revealed that his top priority is to make sure that “she’s straight emotionally and psychologically as well.”
