Latto Gets Candid About Her “Real Relationship,” Explains Why She Keeps It Private

by

When you reach celebrity status, little of your life remains private. In today’s digital age, famous faces can hear critiques of them on every social media platform loud and clear, which is why many of them choose to keep certain things to themselves. Specifically, romantic relationships seem to be an area of issue for many stars. Among them is Latto, who addressed how she handles this during a recent interview.

While chatting with Atlanta’s Hot 107.9, the “For the Night” collaborator broke down her decision to keep her love life out of the spotlight. “I’m smooth with it,” she said of being able to not dish about her beau to the media.

“This is gonna sound so cliche, but it’s the truth. Everything about my life is to be picked apart by social media,” Latto went on. “I gotta hear everybody’s two cents and opinions on something that don’t got nothing to do with them.”

She then assured listeners that her relationship is “real,” and “not like PR stunts.” Because of this, she’s even more serious about “[protecting] it.”

As AllHipHop notes, the rumour mill previously suggested that Latto and 21 Savage are dating. However, the Saint Laurent Don markedly denied having a celebrity girlfriend during a Clubhouse session last month. Of course, this doesn’t necessarily mean anything as he could simply be protecting their privacy too.

In the past, the artists have worked together on tracks like “Pull Up” and “Wheelie.” Additionally, the Ohio-born fashionista has publicly given her rumoured man his flowers on more than one occasion.

“[21 Savage] is one of the male Atlanta artists running it, and then I’m the female running it, hands down,” she braggadociously declared last March. “I think it’s just that Atlanta chemistry. I’ve opened up for 21 way back in the day. I was probably 15, 16, or something like that.”

Fans have always been curious about Latto’s relationship status. Lately, though, a particular few internet trolls have been digging through her thirst traps, and subsequently called the rap diva out for sporting the same pair of panties in two separate photos.

Beyoncé Was Recovering From Foot Surgery Before Private Dubai Show: Report

by

We’re all jealous of attendees of the Queen’s private show at Dubai on Saturday (January 21). However, some more news and reports from the spectacle indicate that there were more risks to this show than one might expect. Moreover, one of the patrons reported that Beyoncé was recovering from foot surgery before her performance.

Of course, anyone being paid $24 million for a private concert would rush to it with two broken arms if they could. Still, if reports are accurate, this is yet another insane display of commitment and skill from the superstar artist. Attendees at Beyoncé’s concert at The Royal Atlantis in Dubai likely had a magical experience.

Despite the show’s strict no-phone policy, footage still leaked online. Moreover, many took to social media to share their takes and thoughts on the invite-only concert. It included celebrities, other artists, journalists, and critics like one cultural critic and author Gerrick Kennedy.

“BEYLANTIS was quite the unexpected show,” he tweeted. “That voice is just gets better and better. Mama was doing her good singing. Mind-blowing to see her and Blue Ivy perform together. Even more in awe to hear she did this after foot surgery. It’s unclear what injury led Bey to the operating table, but it’s good to know she’s doing better.”

However, the “BREAK MY SOUL” singer had other things to promote and celebrate this week. Her new campaign for Ivy Park x Adidas, Park Trail, debuted with help from the likes of Ice Spice and Offset. Moreover, she just released another Adidas collab in the form of her Top Ten 2000 sneaker colorways.

Meanwhile, other large performances caused comparisons to Beyoncé’s great live shows. Stephen A. Smith recently caught some flack for saying that Rihanna “ain’t Beyoncé,” referencing the “Diamonds” singer’s upcoming Super Bowl halftime show. Even when she’s not on stage, the RENAISSANCE mogul can’t help but dominate conversations around concert spectacles.

Still, what do you think of Beyoncé recovering from foot surgery right before her private Dubai concert? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, check back in with HNHH for more mind-blowing moments from your favorite performers.

Drake Pens Message On Instagram About Telling Truths

by

Drake recently shared a message on his Instagram story about how 2023’s the year for his truths. Moreover, he posted it in classic Drake fashion: the fancy Instagram font, a black screen, and an oddly cryptic message. While people might assume they’re about his fame, artistry, relationships, or advice, Drizzy has… a different idea, apparently.

“Gonna start using 2023 to tell you my truths,” the “Nice For What” MC began. “I have seen more staff and private bathrooms than anybody ever… whenever you are waiting in line to use the bathroom just know there’s an amazing clean private room that they refuse to show you.”

Now, your guess is as good as mine as to what that could mean. Moreover, is he literally talking about the fancy private bathroom, or is he practicing his bars for an upcoming single? Is the fancy private bathroom all the success they don’t want you to have?

Jokes aside, Drake’s cryptic message was laughed at but also respected, even envied by some. “Is dis rich people problems ? cuz if so i want em,” one user wrote. “[Too] rich for me to understand” another wrote, with a particularly skeptical fan writing “This is not about bathrooms.”

Still, the 6 God does have a lot of “truths” to talk about, whether it’s his success or his controversies. Most recently, he debuted his “Jumbotron S**t Poppin” video with $3.3 millions worth of Pharrell’s jewelry. While his commercial success in hip-hop and pop is practically undefeated, his cultural impact and status shouldn’t be questioned either.

However, his recent collab album with 21 Savage, Her Loss, got him as many accolades as it did criticism. Subliminal bars aimed at Megan Thee Stallion shook the rap world for some time, dividing many fans. Since then, much of that discussion had died down. Still there’s no denying that Drake has his fair share of things to address. Of course, he doesn’t need to, but I guess it’s up to him to decide what he’ll say this year.

What do you think of Drake’s odd Instagram message and his commitments to his “truths”? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, check back in with HNHH for the latest on the genre’s top dogs.

Bad Bunny Goes Private On IG Following Phone-Throwing Controversy

by

Bad Bunny is undeniably one of the biggest artists on the planet. He effortlessly topped Apple Music’s year-end charts last year, alongside Justin Bieber and The Kid LAROI.

His surprise-released album, 2022’s Un Verano Sin Ti, effectively catapulted him to new heights in his success and popularity around the world. Furthermore, the city of Los Angeles even honored him with his own day in October.

However, the 28-year-old has recently been wrapped up in some controversy. It all began when a video started surfacing on social media of the “Me Porto Bonito” artist walking around in the Dominican Republic. The footage shows him seemingly having a good time with some fans and taking pictures with them. However, he grabs one girl’s phone from her hand and aggressively throws it away.

Of course, he has since responded to his controversial action. “The person who comes up to me to say hello, to tell me something, or just to meet me, will always receive my attention and respect. Those who come to put a phone in my face, I will consider it for what it is, a lack of respect and I will treat it like one,” writes the superstar in his translated tweet.

On Monday (January 9), the Puerto Rico native took to his Twitter account to share a mysterious message. His bio now reads, “me van a extrañar,” which directly translates to “they will miss me” in English. Although the Twitter account is still public, he has changed his Instagram account to be on private mode.

It certainly seems as though some fans agree with his actions, while others are arguing it was unnecessary. Regardless of your thoughts, it’s certainly causing lots of conversations online.

What are your thoughts on the situation? Comment your thoughts down below. Finally, make sure to say tuned to HNHH for all of the latest updates.
