Ashanti Gives Goddess Vibes In Bermuda Carnival Costume, Gets Cozy With Nelly While Performing

There’s never been a better reason to consider spinning the block thanks to the reunion of couples like Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez or Ashanti and Nelly. While the former pair has had some undeniably tense moments in the public eye as of late, the latter seems to be more in love than ever – and definitely not afraid to show it off to the world. Earlier this month we saw them step out in matching outfits for the annual Quality Control Music Black Ball, at which time Nelly hopped behind the DJ booth to take care of his girl’s sound as she sang on stage.

Twitter ate that date night up, and since then, Ashanti and her beau have only given us more reason to root for them. Over the weekend, another video of them performing together began making rounds online, and this time, the “Hot In Herre” hitmaker looks undeniably giddy as the 42-year-old grinds up against him. “He hasn’t stopped cheesing since 😭 love that for them,” one Instagram user wrote in @theneighborhoodtalk’s comments after watching the heartwarming clip.

Ashanti and Nelly are Stuck Like Glue

We’re always happy to see Ashanti and Nelly boo’d up, but fans also happen to love seeing the New York native’s vacation posts. Her most recent destination was Bermuda, where she travelled for the first time to attend the country’s annual Carnival celebrations. “Thank you @Bermuda for an amazing first visit!!!! It won’t be my last! I had a blast jumping with @carnivalinbermuda 😜💃🏽🇧🇲🇧🇲🇧🇲🌴🌴🌴❤,” the songbird wrote in the caption of her commemorative Instagram post.

As expected, Ashanti went all out with her costume, adorning herself in a colourful set of feathers worn with a teal-coloured harness that left much of her curvaceous body on display. It remains unclear if Nelly was on this trip, but if not, he was certainly just as happy as fans to see the snapshots.

Rihanna & ASAP Rocky Fly To Barbados For A Baecation After Turning Heads In Paris

Not only has Rihanna been travelling all over the world since announcing her second pregnancy in February, but she’s been doing it in style with ASAP Rocky by her side. We’ve seen the lovers visit Japan, where the soon-to-be father of two wore a graphic tee covered in miniature memes of himself, and more recently, they were in Paris to support Pharrell. Aside from Beyonce and Jay-Z, Rihanna and ASAP were arguably one of the best-dressed couples at the Louis Vuitton runway show, where they coordinated in all-blue outfits.

As Daily Mail reports, after finishing up their to-do list in France, Rocky and his “wife” (as he called Rihanna during his live performance in Europe this past week) caught a flight to Barbados. It seems to have become a tradition for the pair, as they visited the Fenty Beauty founder’s home country when she was nine months pregnant with RZA. She appears to be just as far along this time around. Of course, no information about the little one’s gender or due date is public knowledge yet.

Rihanna Returns to Her Homeland Ahead of Baby No. 2

Rihanna was all smiles in a skin-tight green mini-dress shortly after arriving back in Barbados. She kept her accessories simple and was shining bright like a diamond beside ASAP in his grey, black. and white outfit. It remains unclear how long they plan to stay on the beautiful island, but we’re sure to see some beautiful snapshots of the 35-year-old surface as she taps back into her roots.

As she embarks upon the final weeks of her second pregnancy, Rihanna’s life is changing in several major ways. Not only will she and ASAP Rocky be introducing RZA to their adorable sibling, but the Bad Gal will also have much more time to spend with her family as she officially announced her decision to step down as the CEO of her lingerie company after several years. Read Rih’s statement at the link below, and find paparazzi photos from her Barbados baecation here.

Tyrese Details Divorce Process

For those unaware, screen star and R&B artist Tyrese is undergoing thorough quite the arduous divorce process with his ex-wife Samantha Lee. Not only that, but the actor vocalized his thoughts and process throughout this process quite strongly, whether on social media or in press conversations. Most recently, he called his relationship with his ex-wife “just a transaction” as their court battle rages on. On that side of things, the Fast & Furious star expressed a will to challenge the judge’s decision to have him pay $650,000 in child support and legal fees to Samantha and her team. During an interview with The Shade Room at the BET Awards on Sunday (June 25), he answered a question about an update concerning his legal stance and where the courtroom’s at right now.

“Well, everything is being appealed,” Tyrese remarked. “Like, everything. You know, I don’t want to get into the legal rabbit hole. But I can just tell y’all to keep it simple. If you argue about the validity of a pre-nuptial agreement, then it’s considered a contested- that’s legal language. If we not arguing about the prenup or the validity of the prenup, it’s non-contested. Nothing to talk about. But if it’s contested, then we’re trying to creatively argue about the validity of this paperwork that we did.

Tyrese’s Update On His Divorce In Court

“So yeah, all of those legal fees, everything that’s been going on from the beginning,” Tyrese went on. “We have paperwork that says, ‘If this marriage were to ever fall apart, we have a pre-nuptial.’ Prior to the nuptials, that’s been established. So they cracked it. They cracked the prenup. Yeah, so everything is about to get reversed, flipped. All of my legal fees from the day that she filed, it’s all going to drop on her head. It’s coming.”

Meanwhile, this process proved to be a much more divisive affair among fans than you might expect. In fact, other celebrities like Snoop Dogg have chimed in as well, with the MC publicly supporting the 44-year-old amid his mental health struggles. Only time will tell if this legal procedure gets messier or calmer as their settlement develops. On that note, for more news and the latest updates on Tyrese, come back to HNHH.

Shaquille O’Neal is one of the most famous figures in the NBA world, whether for his time on or off the court. However, as magnanimous as his public image is, he’s always shown himself to be a humbled and principled human being above all.

During a conversation with Monica on Mo Talk Radio, Shaq spoke on how he teaches his sons to avoid such mistakes when it comes to their personal lives. Overall, it was quite the emotive and sweet sentiment, despite the difficulty and animosity that can arise when a partnership comes to a close.

“I had two perfect women and I messed it up,” Shaq expressed. “My first one was my baby mother, Arnetta [Yardbourgh], and then I met Shaunie [Nelson]. Shaunie was also a perfect woman and I messed it up. Yeah, you know, we were young and always just doing d*mb stuff. But, you know, the good thing about our relationship is that they forgave me and we have a good relationship now. But when you ask me about the perfect woman, I had two perfect women and I messed it up. Just by, you know, being d*mb.

Latto Discusses Her Relationship With Mystery Boyfriend

Latto has explained why she prefers to keep the identity of her partner private. Speaking with Cosmopolitan while appearing on the cover of the magazine, Latto said that she likes to keep special things in her life close.

Further speaking about their relationship, Latto said that she’s not the “jealous type,” and that both of them truth each other. “You know what, I’m cr*zy, but I’m not that cr*zy,” she joked. “I let him have his time and he lets me have mine. We trust each other. When he’s at home, like now, he’s probably gambling with his friends. I let him do him. We’ve built that trust, and I think people will probably be caught off guard or shocked at who I am in a relationship versus my public persona.” She elaborated: “Because people think I’m so tough because I’m super confident and dominant. In this relationship at least, I’m way more comfortable with taking the passenger seat and letting him lead because he lets me be myself—and I can still be my alpha self. But I respect him as a man to play the man role. And I’m really in my soft girl era.”

Latto also made a remark about enjoying cooking for her man. “He loves when I make food,” she said. “They be trying to crack on me online and he be dead laughing like, ‘What food ain’t good?’ That man cleans the bone.” Elsewhere in the interview, Latto praised Rihanna, Cardi B, and Yung Miami, for recently welcoming children. She remarked that their doing so inspires her.

Remy Ma Shoots Down Claims Papoose Knocked Out Eazy The Block Captain

Remy Ma has come to Papoose’s defense after rumors began circulating that the rapper knocked out Eazy The Block Captain at a recent Chrome 23 battle rap event called, “#TheGrudgeCard.” A caller on The Star Report had claimed they saw Eazy getting “too cozy” with Remy during the event and that Papoose attacked him as a result. Remy took to Twitter to shoot down the story.

“I’d like to apologize to everyone that was disappointed tonight because we couldn’t get 3 full rounds from all the opponents… I tried…and can y’all pleasee STOP with the Eazy & Pap LIES,” she tweeted. “There’s NO place like Chrome! Right back at it; see y’all in August #Chrome23.”

As for how the rumors began, the caller for The Star Report claimed on Sunday: “I see Papoose, and it was kind of like an aggressive motion. And Papoose swings. The next thing I know, Eazy was on the floor, and it was a lot of commotion. And people were running out of the room. Remy came in, and her security came behind her. And then they closed the door and they were arguing.”

The caller continued: “So this whole ‘it didn’t happen’ is bullshit. He did go night-night. Papoose put Eazy The Block Captain to sleep last night. What it was about, I don’t know, but he was playing Remy very close last night. A little too close for comfort.”

Remy Ma Responds On Twitter

Despite the rumors, Remy Ma and Papoose have been going strong for a number of years now. Just last month, the couple celebrated 15 years of marriage. They first met after being introduced by a mutual friend at an industry event in New York City back in 2004. They married four years later while Remy was incarcerated for assault, illegal weapon possession, and attempted coercion.

Cardi B Addresses New Tasha K Rumors About Offset

It appears that Tasha K can be down but never out. Despite filing for bankruptcy in the midst of having to pay out $4 million to Cardi, Tasha is still making content about the New York rapper. In her latest viral video, Tasha claims to have proof that Offset cheated on Cardi B. Furthermore, she went as far as to claim that the alleged infidelity happened on Kulture’s bed.

Cardi, who earlier this week slammed Tasha K for invoking the death of Takeoff while bashing Cardi’s feud with the stepson of one of the Titan submersible victims, took to Twitter to address the rumors.

“I’m that type of bitch that a n-gga’s gonna cuff,” Cardi said during a Twitter spaces session. I don’t go outside like. So when I do be outside, their voices start trembling. They be like “H-h-h-h-hi Cardi”. They be nervous because they know I’m a bad bitch.” Cardi went on to essentially declare that if she did leave Offset, she would land on her feet because that’s just the sort of person that she is.

Offset Leaks Cardi’s DM Slides

Not wanting to be left out of the drama, Offset also took to social media. In the case of the former Migos rapper, he was leaking DM slides that Cardi has received. He prefaced the leak with a threat against Tasha, saying he was going to “run into” her.

While he didn’t reveal who had shot their shot at Cardi, it was clear that whoever it was felt that Offset was the problem. Their message was long, rambling, and likely a common sight for a lot of women who have had to deal with “saviors” in their DMs.

“Happy B day !!! Enjoy your day … don’t let none throw you off!!! Somebody sent me an invitation ion no if it’s real or not!! An i be hearing shit but from me to you I’m 1000 on every aspect from the biggest shit down to me even dm you !! I’ll never do no cornball shit or even do none to your make people mad etc !! I hate when a mf ima fucc n-gga cause I really come from a genuine place,” the message read.

Cardi B Superfan Started Nicki Minaj Eviction Petition

Elsewhere on social media, Cardi’s fans are running wild. One fan by the name of Beverly Bardan has seemingly confessed to being behind a recent petition to get Nicki Minaj evicted from her home in Hidden Hills, California.

It was recently reported that a petition to evict Minaj was circulating in the city nestled in the Santa Monica Mountains. The petition centered on the sex offender status of Nicki’s husband Kenneth Petty. It claimed that allowing the couple to stay would drive down property values and pose a risk to local women and children.

However, it was revealed that the local housing association had no knowledge of the petition. Furthermore, someone discovered proof on a Cardi stan account on Twitter. The account admitted to flyer bombing the neighborhood and also starting the petition. Cardi has not commented directly on these allegations.

Beyonce may be one of the biggest acts touring across Europe at the moment, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t still take time to enjoy the historic continent on her days off. Most recently the 41-year-old has been making plenty of appearances in France with her husband, Jay-Z. One of their first stops in the city was Pharrell’s Louis Vuitton menswear runway debut. During that, Bey was seen filming her longtime friend like a proud mom during his big moment. Of course, the Carters were some of the best-dressed at the venue, along with celebrity friends like Rihanna, ASAP Rocky, and Zendaya.

Their lifestyles certainly have them used to luxury. Nevertheless, a sneakily captured photo of Beyonce and Jay-Z at lunch in France earlier this week proves that they know how to enjoy the simple things in life too. “Not Bey playing Uno with [Hov] today, they’re just like us I’m crying 😭😭😭,” one Twitter user wrote while sharing the image of the “Irreplaceable” singer holding a small collection of colourful cards in her hand.
