Hip-hop is chock-full of tumultuous relationships that are beyond our comprehension. Of course, the one that everyone knows about and is pulling their hair out over is Chrisean Rock and Blueface. They might be one of the most toxic combinations the genre has ever seen, especially in recent memory. On-again off-again partnerships are not anything out of the ordinary. But for some reason, this one is worse than most. Another pairing rivaling them quite closely is 6ix9ine and Yailin La Mas Viral.
These two have had their unique issues for quite some time. 6ix9ine had to deal with some shots being thrown his way after Yailin’s previous partner, Anuel AA put out a 10-minute diss track. He went after a lot of his Spanish-speaking contemporaries and one of them was 6ix9ine. In addition, the rainbow-hair MC also took some low blows claiming she was jealous and was dealing with mental health issues after their recent split.
However, recent video footage has people comparing 6ix9ine to Chrisean for constantly finding new ways to worm his way back into the picture. DJ Akademiks reuploaded a short clip of the “GUMMO” hitmaker gifting Yailin a stunning McLaren sports car. Fans were quick to judge him, calling Tekashi, “He the male CHRISEAN ROCK.” Others also went after his partner saying things like, “Them those BBL socks ” There is no word that they are officially back together, but it seems that is the case.
What are your thoughts on 6ix9ine buying a new car for his girlfriend Yailin La Mas Viral? Is their relationship as messy as Chrisean Rock and Blueface’s, why or why not? Do you think they are now back together? Did he make a mistake buying her such an expensive gift? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

Young Thug is currently behind bars for the YSL RICO case, a circumstance that’s shrouded the phrase “cuffing season” in a dark cloud for him. But his flame Mariah The Scientist is dedicated and loving, even if their physical distance leaves a void impossible to fill. Still, many folks online have a lot of questions about their relationship. How and when did they get together, what’s their current status, and who on Earth decided to leak a video of their prison phone call?! As it turns out, this couple endured rough patches of past, long-lasting romances, a massive wrench into their time together, but currently stand with heads held high -– and holding on tight to each other’s hands.
Mariah The Scientist and Young Thug presumably began dating sometime around November 2021, when Young Stoner Life posted pictures on Instagram of them cozying up. Moreover, this came after December 2020 developments concerning Thugger’s ex-fiancée Jerrika Karlae, on and off since 2015, who then accused him of abuse. However, in an HNHH interview in August 2021, she stated that they were in a great place, so either Mariah popped up very soon after this or she spoke from more of a friendship standpoint. Regardless, Karlae seemed to respond indifferently to this new romance rumor with the R&B singer, indicating that it didn’t really bother her. Then, in late 2021 and early 2022 respectively, Thugger and The Scientist went on a date at an Atlanta Falcons game and appeared as a bride and groom in her music video for “Walked In,” further fueling the fire.
August 2022: Young Thug’s Arrest, Mariah The Scientist Makes It Official
Furthermore, things became more official in August 2022 after Young Thug’s arrest in May, and after he set up a loving balloon and gift set-up for Mariah The Scientist from behind bars, which she shared on social media. Again, Karlae didn’t bat an eye, and her comments on his prison stint indicate that she’s as supportive and caring as ever. Mariah popped out for Thugger’s birthday to return the favor, clapped back at people trying to cause beef between the three, and she and Thug thirsted for each other via some social media comments.
Aug.-Nov. 2023: “Baby Daddy” Rumors & New Releases

Things got even more set in stone when Mariah The Scientist declared the Atlanta trap sensation her “baby daddy” during a festival set in August of last year. We now know that “daddy” might just be a nickname, and not a pregnancy confirmation or anything like that. That aside, she continued to advocate for his freedom and double down on her support and their relationship, shedding light on what he’s going through while locked up. Young Thug appeared in the 26-year-old’s music video for “From A Woman,” and he released the companion single “From A Man.” The former appeared on her album To Be Eaten Alive in October 2023.
Meanwhile, coinciding with this release, Mariah The Scientist opened up more about their relationship and his incarceration. “It’s almost like jail solidified our relationship,” she expressed on Way Up With Angela Yee. “I’m willing to wait it out because I feel like he’s the one. If I didn’t really see that in him, I probably wouldn’t.” Apparently, they see themselves as a married couple soon after he is free, which is a wholesome goal to maintain amid strife.
In addition, Mariah also attended Young Thug’s trial on various days, and the two reportedly talk every day plus a weekly visit. One of these visits is the conversation that someone leaked online, which prompted a lot of backlash from regular social media users and superstars like Drake.
Folks also thought that Pooh Shiesty shaded them with a recent Instagram development in 2024, although he dismissed this interpretation. With all this in mind, all we can hope for is that they continue to support each other through this, whether it’s their careers, their personal lives, or their relationship. But what do you think about Young Thug and Mariah The Scientist’s connection now that you know the full story so far? Drop your thoughts in the comments below and stay posted on HNHH for more timeline breakdowns and to stay up to date on all things hip-hop.
Boosie Badazz usually has some hot takes about love, namely some heat-catching views on who can form a special bond with who. However, it seems like his boo, 27-year-old Rajel Nelson, is tired of people making the same assumptions regarding her relationship with the 41-year-old. Moreover, she recently took to Instagram Live to comment on people hating on their union, and clearing up their origin. Apparently, they’ve known each other for a very long time, which explains how they could come together so closely. Regardless, this is a debate for the rumor mill, and is a topic that always elicits a lot of conversation.
“I been on him since I was 18,” Nelson said of Boosie Badazz. “I started talking to him when I was 21, and I’ve been dating him since I was 24. This is the person who I’ve been with all my 20s. Let’s talk about how many relationships you wh*res have been in all y’all life. Y’all come on here messing with me about me messing with somebody that’s older than me, but who cares? Exactly: ‘Girl, age don’t matter.’ There you have it. Nobody’s perfect. Y’all keep talking about what he did, ‘He did this, this, that.’ Which man do y’all know is perfect? Please tell me! Y’all h*es get cheated on every f***ing day, ain’t got nothing out the deal, let’s talk about it.
“Your dad was cheating on your mommas, but your momma still stuck with your dad,” she continued. “Let’s talk about it, h*es, y’all always try to make it seem like y’all life is perfect. A lot of y’all grandparents and grandmothers… y’all don’t want me to say it, but y’all don’t want me to hurt y’all feelings, was f***ing around with people older than them. So just stop it.” “Well, you know, back in the day, the British days, they used to be 13,” her friend chimed in during the IG Live. “Their moms had kids to make them rich, so they can take care of their parents. That was big! Like, Titanic days, the English culture, they got married at 13 and 14 to old men so they could be safe. So they could be, you know, secure. That’s life.”
“But the thing about it is I was 18, it wasn’t like I was ten,” Nelson answered. “Well, once we hit 1980, they just started doing it without getting nothing out of the deal,” her friend elaborated. “You see what I’m saying? The culture changed.” “Y’all keep trying to talk about me dating somebody older than me,” Badazz’s boo concluded. “But y’all keep failing to realize we didn’t become boyfriend and girlfriend ’til I was 24! I didn’t start talking to him, having conversations with him, ’til I was 21.” For more news and the latest updates on Boosie Badazz, log back into HNHH.

Adam22 and Lena The Plug have been married since May of this year and were engaged in 2021. Even before that, the couple had a baby girl, Parker Ann Grandmaison. However, as almost everyone knows, they do not have the most conventional relationship. Both are heavily involved in the adult industry, but that is not the extent of it. Adam22 has been allowing his wife to shoot multiple scenes with a variety of p**nstars.
Nearly the whole world had their eyes and ears on them after she shot a scene with Jason Luv. Because of this and a whole host of other reasons, Adam22 and Lena have faced heaping amounts of criticism for how they display their love. Surely, having a child only amplified everyone’s opinions of them. One of those people who has been vocal about their thoughts on them is Joe Budden. Recently, the rapper and podcaster spoke about their taboo relationship after the p**n video of them having sex with adult star Lil D went viral.
“I don’t even think that’s so crazy because I don’t even think that’s his wife… I think they got a very different arrangement.” Adam and Lena heard these comments and TMZ caught up with them. AllHipHop pulled a few quotes from the chat on the street, as both of them went after Budden. Adam said, “He has been living through a whole lifetime of failed relationships, one after another.

Selena Gomez didn’t let her most recent dating rumors stay just rumors for long. After a high-profile celebrity gossip account reported that she and singer-songwriter Benny Blanco had secretly been dating since earlier this year, the rumors took off online. A post collecting some of the hints and speculation floating around made its way to Instagram. Eventually Selena herself caught wind of them. She left a comment on the post that simply read “Facts,” which unsurprisingly sent fan speculation into absolute overdrive.
Many Selena Gomez fans weren’t exactly happy with the prospect of her dating Blanco and they weren’t shy about expressing it. But that led to Selena herself responding to numerous comments. In the process, she not only confirmed the legitimacy of the rumors but also stood up for her newly revealed man. She described Benny as “my absolute everything,” and “the best thing that’s ever happened to me,” while also claiming that he is “better than anyone I’ve ever been with.” Check out the post where she left the comments below.
Earlier this year Selena Gomez returned with her new song “Single Soon.” The track caught on quickly spending months on the Hot 100. The song has racked up 118 million streams on Spotify as fans unpacked the lyrical details about moving on from a relationship. Many thought that the song was directly referencing Selena’s high-profile relationship with The Weeknd, that turned out to be untrue. She quickly took to Instagram to shut down the rumors personally. Fans have also been bustling with speculation over a new album from Gomez. Reports from earlier this year compared her upcoming project to Rihanna’s classicGood Girl Gone Bad.
Selena found herself at the center of an admittedly hilarious controversy at this years VMAs. She was on camera when Chris Brown’s name was being read off as a nominee for one of the night’s awards. She made a disgruntled looking face as a result. That immediately went viral and prompted responses from Brown and some of his various defenders online. What do you think of Selena Gomez confirming her relationship with Benny Blanco? Let us know in the comment section below.
In the wake of a tumultuous chapter with ex-boyfriend Darius Jackson, actress and singer Keke Palmer took to her podcast, Baby, This is Keke Palmer, to share candid insights into the misconceptions she harbored about relationships. The revelation follows Palmer’s recent accusations of domestic violence against Jackson, a saga that has now taken an unexpected turn. On Tuesday’s podcast episode, Palmer admitted to having a somewhat positive view of relationships. Shaped by the loving and respectful dynamics within her parents’ marriage. She described her father, Larry, as a figure who embraced her mother’s opinions and decisions with a nonchalant, “Go on ahead, Sharon.” However, she says the harsh reality of misogyny hit her quickly as she begin dating for herself.
“So misogyny came at me hard and quick, with the quickness,” Palmer said. “I grew up in a house where my mom would say, ‘This is what it needs to be.’ And (my father) Larry would be like, ‘OK, Sharon. Go on ahead, Sharon.’ So, for me, when I entered outside of my household and I saw that everybody doesn’t really respect their wives or even women in the way that my dad respects my mom, it (was) a pretty rude awakening.”
Moreover, last month, Palmer took legal action against her partner Darius Jackson by filing a restraining order and seeking sole custody of their child. While the court granted both temporarily, a recent development has surprised many. The actress has decided to call off the restraining order just before the scheduled hearing on December 5th. Furthermore, both parties have opted to handle the matter privately. They agreed to attend mediation together, as outlined in newly released documents.
This decision comes despite serious abuse allegations Palmer made against Jackson. Concerns are now surfacing among fans who fear that resolving such a sensitive matter behind closed doors might not be in the best interest of justice.The drama surrounding Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson continues to captivate public attention, reminding us all that even those who seem to have it all together can face unexpected and challenging realities when it comes to matters of the heart.
When it comes to long-lasting celebrity marriages, David and Victoria Beckham belong in the hall of fame as a testament to enduring love. The couple’s relationship has always been a fan favorite for the two and a half decades they’ve been together. Still, they continue to remind us why they are so iconic.
The power duo of the British soccer legend David Beckham and his wife, Spice Girl-turned-fashion maven Victoria “Posh” Beckham, now have four kids. However, they will always be the adorable “Posh and Becks” to their many fans. What sets the Beckhams’ union apart is that it has transcended time and pop culture into a global fascination. So whether you’re glued to Netflix’s latest documentary, Beckham, or simply captivated by this uber-celebrity pairing, here is a breakdown of their relationship so far.
1997: Love At First Sight
David did not ask Posh out the first time he saw her, but he did the second time. Where? At the Manchester United lounge game in 1997, where he’d seen her the first time at a previous game. Opening up on The Tonight Show in 2020, the retired soccer player shared that he asked for her number. “She actually wrote her number down on the train ticket, which I still have.” To Victoria Beckham, however, it was an unforgettable moment. In a letter she wrote to her younger self for Vogue UK in 2016, she shared that she was smitten upon first seeing him. “Love at first sight does exist,” she wrote.

Once they began dating, the British public couldn’t get enough of the couple. They ranked high on user polls, becoming one of the most adored pairs in the country. Notably, both David and Victoria Beckham were already at the forefront of their respective careers. In January 1998, at a press conference held outside a Cheshire, England hotel, the couple made their engagement official. Victoria made sure to flash her $85,000 engagement ring to the cameras. This ring was merely the first among the 15 rings David had given his wife since they’d been together.

Nonetheless, the couple would welcome their firstborn, Brooklyn, on March 4, 1999. Victoria shared how she and her husband came by the name in her autobiography Learning to Fly. “I had always liked the name Brooke, and then we suddenly thought about Brooklyn,” she wrote. “It was later that I realized how appropriate it was because it was in New York that I found out I was pregnant.”

Four months after the birth of their son, Victoria and David exchanged vows. The wedding took place at Luttrellstown Castle near Dublin, Ireland, in July 1999. Victoria wore a Vera Wang gown and a gold tiara from Irish designer Slim Barrett. Additionally, the dashing groom wore a white tuxedo. Together, they sat on cushioned thrones for the ceremony.
Soon after the ceremony, the couple switched into matching purple outfits for the reception. The Beckhams also had a star-studded guest list, and the wedding quickly became the talk of the town. Notable guests were Elton John, George Michael, the Spice Girls, and David’s teammates at Manchester United.

In 2004, two years after the birth of their second son, Romeo, the public was hit with infertility rumors. Rebecca Loos, David’s former personal assistant, claimed that she had a four-month affair with the football star. Subsequently, two more women, Celina Laurie and Sarah Marbeck, shared that they also had affairs with David between 2001 and 2002.

2023: The David Beckham Docuseries
In October 2020, Variety broke the news of David and Victoria’s Netflix deal for a limited series documentary.

The four-episode series explores David’s soccer journey, his bond with Victoria, their family dynamic, and how they deal with fame. The documentary was lauded for its heart and authenticity.
