Benny the Butcher addressed rumors about Griselda breaking up during an appearance on The Breakfast Club, Friday. In doing so, he reflected on the rifts in their relationships over the years, but reaffirmed that they’re “family.”
“We got so successful that where the support was coming from, people backed up, because we was about to take over all this sh*t,” he explained, adding that they had to settle down and regroup. From there, he praised Conway The Machine in particular. “Conway, he’s always been the top spitter to me,” Benny said. “He still is. You’d be hard-pressed to name five n****s who can get in the ring with him.”

Benny also discussed the release of his latest album, Everybody Can’t Go. “[Everybody Can’t Go] is my first major-label album. You know what I’m saying? People forget about that because of the run we had,” he said. “I’ve never dropped a major album in my whole life. […] We’ve been running it for so long. And, you know, you’re sick of seeing that. […] When they don’t see us together, they be like, ‘Oh man, they must be beefing.’ Man, we’re family, you know what I’m saying?” Check out Benny The Butcher’s full appearance on The Breakfast Club, below.

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.
1998: Britain’s Favorite Couple Becomes Engaged

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.
1999: Brooklyn Is Born

In the Netflix documentary Beckham, Victoria revealed that she told David she was pregnant just before he played in the 16th round of the World Cup in June 1998. The U.K. eventually lost the game. 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.”
1999: David & Victoria Beckham: A Royal Wedding
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.
2004: Cheating Rumors
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. Reflecting in the Beckham documentary, he admitted that he didn’t know how he and his wife got through it. Victoria echoed the sentiment, describing it as “the hardest period” in their marriage.
2005-2011: David & Victoria Expand The Beckham Clan
Becks signed to Real Madrid and moved to Spain with his family. Two years later, his third child, Cruz Beckham, was born in Madrid in February 2005. Subsequently, they moved to Los Angeles. In 2008, one year after moving to L.A., David appeared on Ellen and shared that he and Victoria were open to having more kids. Come January 2011, they announced a fourth pregnancy, which was followed six months later by the birth of their only daughter, Harper Seven. Two years later, in 2013, David moved the family to London and retired from soccer after a brief stint with Paris Saint Germain.
2023: The David Beckham Docuseries
In October 2020, Variety broke the news of David and Victoria’s Netflix deal for a limited series documentary. Three years later, and a month after Victoria and David’s anniversary, the Beckham clan gathered for Netflix’s Beckham premiere in London. 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.
Even though her relationship with Blueface didn’t work out as planned, Chrisean Rock isn’t letting new motherhood stop her from finding her next lover. For a minute, she looked to be romancing Lil Mabu, her “MR. TAKE YA B*TCH” collaborator, even flaunting a tattoo on her stomach dedicated to the teen earlier this fall. It’s unclear what the status of their relationship is at this time, though we’ve been seeing Rock spending time with Sexually Active artist K Suave, which she isn’t hiding from social media – perhaps in hopes of getting a rise out of Junior’s dad.
If that’s been the 23-year-old’s plan all along, then it’s certainly working. Both he and his mother Karlissa Saffold are seemingly sharing their thoughts on Rock’s love life this weekend, and the latter even seems to approve of the Baddies cast member moving on from Blue. “Well he got them big hands,” Saffold said of Suave in an Instagram comment. “Take it slow Rock,” she urged her son’s ex. “Go watch my interview to avoid mistakes you will regret later,” Karlissa added, referencing her recent sit-down with Jason Lee.
Interestingly, after his second baby mama shared videos riding around in a car with lights decorating the roof, Blue wrote, “If you want stars ona roof gotta get that Rolls Royce. Don’t be cheap,” before sharing a video with his MILF Music artist in their tricked out vehicle. “I could tweet, ‘The sky is blue,’ and y’all gone be like, ‘Oh, he only saying that to throw shade,’” Blueface wrote online after being accused of obsessing over his ex.
“Like, no b**ch. The sky is literally blue.” In another post, the 26-year-old added, “What does this guy have to do with my car? I’m confused as hell lol, you just adding random people to the chat … Is this yo dude or some?” Check back in with HNHH later to find out what Chrisean Rock has to say to her co-parent and his first baby mama.
Jada Pinkett Smith recently appeared on The Breakfast Club, where she discussed her new memoir, Worthy. The book details her rocky relationship with her husband Will Smith, revealing that the two have them have actually been separated for seven years. Famously, she was linked to August Alsina at one point in their previously-unknown separation, which was dubbed an “entanglement.”
Considering all that Pinkett Smith shared, some were surprised that she failed to mention Alsina’s name in the book. Charlamagne Tha God asked her about this decision, which she claims was for his sake. According to her, the 31-year-old has been through quite a bit, and she didn’t want to create even more stress in his life. “I felt like he’s been through enough,” she explained. “You know what I mean? And I just wanted to be respectful in that manner.”
Charlamagne later went on to ask her whether or not she feels the need to “heal” that particular situation. “I’m definitely hoping at some point, for sure,” she then replied. Alsina and Pinkett Smith met back in 2015 through her son Jaden. What began as a friendship eventually evolved into a romantic relationship. In 2020, he sat down with Angela Yee to speak on their romance, reflecting on the years he spent with Pinkett Smith.
“I totally gave myself to that relationship for years of my life, and I truly and really, really deeply love and have a ton of love for her,” he explained. “I devoted myself to it, I gave my full self to it — so much so to the point that I can die right now and be okay with knowing that I truly gave myself to somebody.” What do you think of Jada Pinkett Smith’s decision to to include August Alsina’s name in her new memoir, Worthy? How do you feel about her explanation? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
Will Smith just can’t catch a break, it seems, as there’s even more gossip, drama, and dirt being thrown on his name. Moreover, for those unaware, his former assistant Brother Bilaal claimed that he saw him having intercourse with Duane Martin. That accusation inspired a lot of backlash online, mostly against the scandalous claim and attempt to clout-chase off of the actor’s name. Many celebrities understand that this hearsay can be very damaging and tough to deal with. For example, Cardi B recently took to social media to speak on this issue.
“I feel like I got fooled a couple of weeks ago,” she began. Many interpreted this as a diss towards rival Tasha K, as her interview with Brother Bilaal is what contained this claim about Will Smith and shortly follows the blogger seemingly making amends with Cardi B. “Some people just never, never, never change. I don’t like what people be doing to Will Smith. I be feeling like Will Smith is very unproblematic, and I feel like he got a nice heart. And that’s the thing: I found out that Will Smith is a Libra.
“I always said this,” Cardi B continued. “Like, Libras… we be getting tried, and then when we outburst, we outburst so f***ing heavy that we become the ones in the wrong. Because when we throw that outburst after we get so much, we go so cr*zy that people be like, ‘Oh my God, what the f**k? Oh, this b***h is really cr*zy. Oh, this n***a is f***ing cr*zy, for real.’ And I feel like y’all doing that to Will Smith. I don’t like that some people never f***ing change. I’m so tired of people picking on that man. Deada**.
“Your job as a journalist, you should be able to detect whether somebody is bulls***ting or not,” she concluded. “‘Cause anybody can say something about anybody. Look at what to me in 2018 when a b***h that I didn’t even know her f***ing name was saying that she know me, that she went to my house. Anybody can say a f***ing fake a** story about you, and [people will] fake a** believe it. So, it should be your job to detect whether something is a lie or not. Or, like, to have any type of proof, any type of evidence, and it’s so f***ed up that somebody could put something so f***ing salacious out and not think about it.” For more news and the latest updates on Cardi B and Will Smith, stick around on HNHH.
