Kanye West And Ice Cube Appear To Make Up Following Antisemitism Scandal

by

Recent photos of Ice Cube and Kanye West appear to show that they’ve reconciled following a 2022 antisemitism controversy. The two artists were photographed outside of Ice Cube’s Los Angeles area home, smiling and hugging. Last year, Ye was slammed for making various antisemitic comments online and in interviews. One social media post saw him declare “death con 3” on jewish people. “I’m a bit sleepy tonight but when I wake up I’m going death con 3 On JEWISH PEOPLE,” he tweeted. He later defended the Tweet, claiming that because he’s black, he’s unable to be antisemitic.

Ye wrote, “The funny thing is I actually can’t be Anti Semitic because black people are actually Jew also You guys have toyed with me and tried to black ball anyone whoever opposes your agenda.” Ye later appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored, where he claimed to be “envious” of Jewish people. “I’m envious of how they don’t abort their children,” he began. The rapper continued, “I’m envious of how they don’t shoot each other in the streets and then rap about it.” He went on to say, “I want that for the darker Jews, I want that for Black people. We need that.” Ye’s various comments about jewish people, unsurprisingly, caused him to get slammed by various media outlets and online commenters.

Following the controversy, Ye claimed that his behavior was inspired by Ice Cube. “Cube’s really set me up for this,” he said on Drink Champs, “[Ice Cube] really influenced me to get on this anti-Semite vibe. I’m here to finish the job.” Ice Cube later denied that he had any influence on the artist’s beliefs.

“I didn’t put the batteries in his back. Please leave my name out of all the anti-semitic talk. I’m not antisemitic and never have been,” Ice Cube wrote on Twitter. He later appeared on Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson, where he addressed Kanye West. “Talk your s**t if you want to, but don’t blame me for s**t. If I ain’t up there speaking for myself, don’t blame me,” he told Ye.

Spears Says “Time Heals All Wounds”

The reported reconciliation comes amid various claims about the singer’s mental health, including reports of a troubled marriage with Sam Asghari. According to TMZ, “reliable insiders” claim that Britney was engaging in frequent yelling matches and even physical altercations with Asghari. Upon the release of the trailer for the outlet’s documentary on Spears, rumors that she had a “fascination with knives” also began to circulate. The sources told TMZ that Britney has a “constant fear of being institutionalized,” feeling that the knives are a “means for protection.”

Her husband took to social media to respond to the media surrounding their marriage. He said, “All of a sudden — after 15 years when she’s free after all those gaslighting.” Adding, “All those things that went down — now you’re going to put her under a microscope and tell her story?”

Megan Fox & Machine Gun Kelly Are “More Connected Than Ever” After “Healing” Trip To Hawaii

by

After almost two months of turmoil, Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly have reportedly worked through their nearly-engagement-ending issues during a baecation in Hawaii. It was reported at the end of March that reconciliation for the embattled couple was looking “pretty unlikely.“ Of course, that’s obviously since changed as we’ve entered into April. Earlier this week, TMZ captured photos of the lovers dining in Hawaii. Since then DailyMail has nabbed more intimate images of them returning to their former glory.

Captured on Thursday (April 6), the pictures in question see Fox and her musician beau holding hands while they stroll along the Big Island’s beautiful beaches. During their vacation, the pair is said to have stayed at The Four Seasons Hualalai. “They’re officially back on after going through a rocky patch in their relationship,” a source told the media this weekend. “The last few months have been tough for them both. They went away together to do some healing and it’s been working. They feel more connected than ever.”

Megan Fox and MGK’s “Healing” Holiday

“Megan is extremely spiritual and believes that Colson is her soulmate,” they also noted. “She was never going to give up on them. She felt as though they needed to spend some quality time together.” It appears Fox’s plan worked, if what the insiders are spilling is true. Prior to their baecation, it was revealed that the Jennifer’s Body actress had even removed her engagement ring.

As you may recall, Kelly noted around the time of his proposal that the jewelry has thorns on the inside that make it painful to slip off. This proves that his fiancée was willing to endure a lot by no longer wearing it. Earlier this week, it was noted that there still appeared to be some distance between Megan Fox and her man. However, that seems to have since improved based on the latest paparazzi snaps of the pair, which you can check out here.

Megan Fox & Machine Gun Kelly’s Trust Issues May Lead To The Demise Of Their Relationship

by

It’s been well over a month since rumours of a split between Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox took over the news cycle, and still, we don’t have a clear answer as to whether the engaged couple will be carrying on with their wedding plans. Earlier this week, insiders gave PEOPLE the latest update on all the drama, noting that the actress’ trust issues with her fiancé seem to be a great cause of concern. As you may recall, initial speculation had fans assuming that the rapper-turned-rocker cheated on his partner with his guitarist, Sophie Lloyd.

Both the musician and Fox denied those allegations, though MGK himself has yet to speak out on the situation. He and the black-haired beauty have been attending regular therapy sessions, but insiders say that, at this point, chances of reconciliation are looking pretty slim. “This is really boiling down to not working,” one source told the publication. “There have been points where they haven’t been speaking — it’s been that bad,” they added.

Megan Fox’s Trust Issues Run Rampant

Another person close to the situation made it clear that Kelly and the Jennifer’s Body starlet continue to “work on their issues” rather than calling it quits. “Only time will tell if they get back together properly, but it looks pretty unlikely right now,” they explained. It’s well known that the embattled couple has “always had kind of a tumultuous relationship.” As a whole, it’s constantly been “very up and down” for both of them.

When word of Megan Fox’s potential singledom first arose, we were reminded that “She was never one to casually date, so she put her whole heart into their relationship.” Despite all the effort, however, “She isn’t happy now, though. She took her engagement ring off a while ago, and it’s not back on.” Do you think the mother of three and MGK will reunite to walk down the aisle? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Khloé Kardashian Asks “Who Has Time For A Man?” Amid Tristan Thompson Reconciliation Rumours

by

In the past, Khloé Kardashian has expressed a lack of interest in romantically reconciling with her baby daddy, Tristan Thompson. The NBA player has previously committed a number of adulterous acts while dating the California native. Still, she’s been by his side following the death of his mother, Andrea Thompson, early last month.

Due to her undeniably caring nature, some fans have speculated that the Canadian’s recent loss will push him and the mother of two back together. They spent some time in Ontario to arrange a funeral with other Kardashian-Jenner clan members and Drake. Since then, it’s been reported that Thompson purchased a house just two miles from his ex.

As Page Six notes, the reunion rumours only circulated faster thanks to an interesting post on the Good American founder’s Story last week. “A woman that found peace instead of revenge can never be bothered,” the quote in question says. While the gossip continues to spread, Kardashian has made it known that she’s not interested in dating on Twitter.

“Who has time for a man lol? I have a 6-month-old baby and [my daughter] True and I are sickly codependent on one another. Ha! I secretly love it,” she wrote during a Q&A with followers early on Monday (February 6). “No but for real… No man right now… He’s in my prayers too ha!”

A source close to the former couple insists that they’re not romantically involved again. The last time they were working on their relationship was when Thompson met Maralee Nichols. He subsequently welcomed his fourth child with her following their hookup gone wrong. For her part, Khloé was briefly linked to a private equity investor last summer. Later on, she also made headlines with 365 Days actor Michele Morrone.

Before she met Thompson, Kardashian was previously in an equally as tumultuous relationship with Lamar Odom. Since their divorce was finalized several years ago, the former NBA player has been candid about his wrongdoings in their marriage. Specifically, he admits that he’s embarrassed about past acts of infidelity.

During a recent interview, the 43-year-old recalled a time when his then-wife walked in on him with another woman in a hotel room. According to Odom’s account, the reality starlet went on to “beat [the] bitch ass,” though no charges were pressed as a result of the altercation. Read all about that drama here, and check back later for more pop culture news.

Shannon Sharpe & Ja Morant’s Dad Reconcile After Fight

by

Shannon Sharpe and Tee Morant, father of Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant, reconciled their differences after a fight. Moreover, they weren’t the only ones involved in a heated argument after the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Grizzlies 122-121 last Friday (January 20). Other recognizable faces in the incident were Steven Adams and Ja Morant himself.

LOS ANGELES, CA – JANUARY 20: Shannon Sharpe and Tee Morant, father of Ja Morant #12 of the Memphis Grizzlies, are separated by security and referees after a verbal altercation between Sharp and Morant during the halftime against the Los Angeles Lakers at Crypto.com Arena on January 20, 2023 in Los Angeles, California.

However, the cause of this altercation is still unclear. In clips swirling around social media, it’s hard to make out what everyone is shouting at each other. Even a tense moment can’t drown out the music blasting from the stadium speakers.

Still, another video published shortly after showed Sharpe and Tee Morant embracing. While it’s not certain that the clip was recorded after the fight ended, that seems to be the narrative online. What’s more is that people reacting to the fight initially were putting everything on Shannon. Moreover, his physique is about as strong as his words. Recently, he made some sobering observations about Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. People are all for his unfiltered perspectives.

“Shannon stronger than anybody in that building they better leave him alone….Ray Lewis will tell you that!!” one user wrote. Another shared, “I got my money on Shannon. Anybody with a lisp like that at his age will smoke yo boots.” Some commenters even cheekily tied it into his show with Skip Bayless. “‘I’m sorry but you would’ve had no shot against Steven Adams’ – Skip on Monday,” one user commented.

Meanwhile, LeBron James reacted to the whole ordeal hilariously, at least in part. While he made no comments on the situation itself, his description of Unk was quite expressive.

“If ‘I Wish A Muthaf#ck* Would’ was a person! MOOD,” James wrote. “Unk VIBES!”

Moreover, their relationship is as strong as ever. Sharpe brought out the “GOAT James” mask on Undisputed when talking about LeBron’s 48-point-performance against the Houston Rockets just a few days ago.

Still, what do you think of Shannon Sharpe and Tee Morant making up after a rowdy fight? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, come back to HNHH for the latest NBA news.
