Erica Mena Lashes Out At Safaree For Gifting Rolexes To Amara La Negra’s Twin Babies: “Deadbeat Clown”

It’s been nearly two years since Erica Mena filed for divorce from Safaree while pregnant with their second child but still, the reality star finds herself troubled by the actions of her ex. Their most recent spat markedly took place after Amara La Negra threw a birthday party for her infant twin daughters, at which she and the 41-year-old were caught on camera kissing. Aside from the PDA, Safaree also spoiled his apparent new boo’s little ones with an incredibly luxurious gift – matching Rolex watches for their tiny wrists.

While the sentiment is undeniably sweet, Mena was quick to hop in @theshaderoom’s comment section and make it known that the Love & Hip-Hop star does far less for his own offspring. “Awe so cute,” she began. “It’s just very interesting how my kids have NEVER received gifts like this by this waste man. My daughter just turned three. All she got was a birthday cake and a few balloons in his living room.” For their son’s first birthday, it was apparently even worse, as Safaree didn’t do anything to celebrate “until two weeks after the fact,” and even then it only came in the form of balloons at home. “Happy [everybody] enjoyed this circus-themed birthday party with a deadbeat clown as the special guest 🙌🏾,” her comment ended.

Of course, it wasn’t long before she had more to say. In another reply, Mena later added, “Before I go someone @ him – he blocked me since I won’t take his crying begging ass back (hints why [he’s] now desperately shooting in Miami) 😂. Let him know he has medical bills that’s only $8K for last year he owes along with… Never mind just tell him he got it. Pay it.” And on her own Instagram Story, the 35-year-old proceeded to add fuel to the fire by sharing receipts in the form of voice notes and personal text messages.

“I miss you baby. I’m not gonna lie this is torture,” an alleged message from the embattled entertainer to his ex reads. Scroll on to see Safaree and Amara La Negra sharing a smooch at her twins’ birthday party, as well as Erica Mena’s reaction to all the drama. Afterward, tell us if you think the New Yorker went too far with his luxurious gifts for the young girls in the comments.

50 Cent & Cuban Link Spark Engagement Rumours After She’s Spotted Wearing Massive Ring

50 Cent has been in plenty of high-profile relationships over the years, though none of them have led the father of two on a path down the aisle. Since 2019, he’s been dating model Jamira Haines – better known as Cuban Link – who he often proudly shows off on his arm at events. On Saturday (April 15), it was the black-haired beauty’s turn to support her man, which she did with an Instagram video that sees her hyping the “Candy Shop” hitmaker up from offstage while he performs in front of a massive crowd.

Of course, it wasn’t long before internet sleuths located the larger-than-life diamond located on Cuban’s ring finger, which certainly wasn’t there in other recent uploads. Before the IG upload comes to an end, we also see a clip of Fif and his girl walking down a hallway together, her giddily looking back at the camera with a grin on her face. Besides her smile, many have also been complimenting the 27-year-old’s figure, which she proudly put on display in a black bodysuit worn under a see-through beige dress.

Before long, Haines’ comment section flooded with messages like “Sticking that finger out like a kickstand!! 🤣 Yess!! ❤,” and “The [first] woman to ‘really’ cuff Fif 💞.” A friend of the socialite’s also left a telling response, hinting that she’s been spilling plenty of tea on her private Story. “If they were in your Close Friends they would really know what’s going on 🙃😉 – LOVE YALL 😘,” @rysfitnesss teased, prompting plenty of interested fans to ask her for more details.

Whether they’re playing to tie the knot or not, it’s hard to dispute the chemistry between 50 Cent and Cuban Link. “I love how he chose you. I just know you’re a woman he never came across in his life. 50 invested in a new class lol,” an IG user praised the famous pair’s long-standing relationship. Read more social media reactions to Jamira’s flashy ring below, and check back later for more hip-hop and pop culture news updates.

Tiffany Haddish Trolls Common Over Alleged Jennifer Hudson Relationship

Tiffany Haddish threw shade at her ex, Common, over his alleged relationship with Jennifer Hudson on social media, earlier this week. The comedian was responding to questions from fans on TikTok when she brought up the legendary rapper.

“I’m still waiting to see if Common gave you the earrings I gave him for you when he came to Charlotte,” one fan wrote to Haddish. “Girl, he never gave me no damn earrings,” she responded, before joking, “He probably gave those to Jennifer.”

Haddish and Common began dating at some point in 2020 before calling it quits in November 2021. “I miss him from time to time,” Haddish admitted on Fox Soul’s Hollywood Unlocked with Jason Lee Uncensored afterward. “But that’s with, I think, any relationship, an intimate relationship that you might have, you miss them. But I’m fine with it. It’s cool. I wish him nothing but joy and happiness. He will always be cool.”

As for what Haddish is looking for from her next relationship, she recently detailed her ideal man during an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers. “Good credit score because I need to know you’re responsible,” Haddish said on the show. “You need to have good hygiene. That’s really important to me. I can’t stand bad breath or funky armpits. I’ve been attracted to a lot of hip-hop kind of guys, and I don’t mind men wearing jewelry, but if you own a bunch of diamonds but you don’t own no land, that’s a problem for me. Land then diamonds. Because where do the diamonds come from? The land. So own the land, then get the diamonds. Like, I got diamonds, yes I do, because I got land.”

Common and Jennifer Hudson have been rumored to be dating for months. They previously worked together on the film, Breathe, in 2022. They’ve been spotted going out with one another on numerous occasions in the time since.

Kendall Jenner Attends Bad Bunny’s Coachella Set

Kendall Jenner was in attendance for Bad Bunny’s performance on Friday night at Coachella. She watched on alongside her sister, Kylie, and other friends as the singer performed some of his biggest hits. Jenner has been romantically linked to Bad Bunny since February. The two were recently spotted sharing a kiss after a sushi date in Los Angeles and going horseback riding together.

During his time on stage, Bad Bunny appeared to address the rumors circulating about his personal life. “People don’t know the reality of what I feel in my heart,” he said, once translated to English. “You’re not going to know me from a video on TikTok, an interview, or what people are saying about me. If you want to get to know me, I’ll invite you over to my house for a beer.”

Prior to being linked to Bad Bunny, Jenner was in a long-term relationship with Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker. The two initially called it quits in June 2022 after spending two years, but they reconciled for a brief period later that year. According to Us Weekly, Booker still holds out hope that Jenner and Bad Bunny aren’t serious with one another. “Devin doesn’t believe for one minute that Kendall and Bad Bunny’s relationship is that serious,” a source told the outlet. “He doesn’t think he’s her type and finds it difficult to believe there’s any longevity there between them.”

Amid the rumors of dating Jenner, Bad Bunny seemed to diss Devin Booker in his verse for Eladio Carrión‘s “Coco Chanel.” “Yo no soy malo, nah, bebé, eso e’ un gimmick / Pero el sol de PR calienta má’ que el de Phoenix / Ella lo sabe,” he sings on the track. When translated into English, the lyrics roughly mean, “I’m not bad, baby that’s a gimmick / But the sun in Puerto Rico is hotter than in Phoenix / She knows it.” Check out Bad Bunny’s comments from Coachella below.

Lola Brooke Addresses Dating In The Music Industry

Lola Brooke recently expressed her feelings about dating within the music industry, hinting that she’d be okay with romance with another entertainer. The rapper discussed her opinion on the topic during an interview with Latto on her show, 777 Radio, on Apple Music 1.

“If the vibe is right and my feelings are secure, yeah,” Brooke answered when asked about it. When questioned if she’d still prefer a “nine to five” partner, she replied, “I don’t mind doing that but when I really think about reality, it’ll be like, ‘Will he start fighting with my accomplishments? Will he be insecure?’”

Elsewhere in the interview, Brooke reflected on her hometown of Brooklyn. “Brooklyn is the best because no matter where you go in the world, if you’re from the Bronx or Queens or whatever, you’re going to say, ‘I’m from New York.’ But a Brooklyn person is going to say, ‘I’m from Brooklyn,’” Lola Brooke explained to Latto. “We’re not going to say we’re from New York, we’re going to say we’re from Brooklyn. That’s just how it is. I don’t know. Shout out to the greats: Jay-Z and Biggie.”

Brooke recently starred as the face of the 50th anniversary of the Original Timberland Boot campaign. She also opened for fellow New Yorker, A Boogie wit da Hoodie, on his Me Vs Myself international tour. Brooke blew up in on the hip-hop scene over the last two years following the release of her single, “Don’t Play with It.” A year after its original 2021 release, the song reached new heights in popularity due to its explosion on Twitter and TikTok. The song eventually made its way onto the US Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at 69. Just last month, Brooke teamed up with Latto and Yung Miami for a remix of the track. The music video has reached over 4 million views on YouTube in the time since.

Monaleo & Stunna 4 Vegas Confirm Pregnancy With Stunning Maternity Photos

The number of babies being born to parents working in the music industry lately continues to boom. Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are obviously awaiting their second, and today (April 15), 21-year-old Monaleo confirmed that she and Stunna 4 Vegas are currently expecting their first. Earlier this afternoon, the young recording artist uploaded a series of beautiful maternity photos which see her baby bump clearly on display amid the flowing pink fabric of her dress. “God is a woman,” she wrote in her caption, perfectly matching the divine feminine essence radiating from her photos.

In just a few hours, Monaleo is already seeing support from countless friends and fans. Among them is Doechii, who commented “She’s a mommyyyy 😍😍😍” under her friend’s post. The Texas native’s partner also left a kind reply, writing, “God is a beautiful black woman ❤🌍.” Apart from showing his support for her pregnancy with those words, Stunna also dropped off a thoughtful post to his own IG feed. “I tightened up for you, I turned all this shit around for you,” the 27-year-old wrote in what sounds like a message to his unborn baby.

Monaleo’s Maternity Photos

“I love you so much and [I] ain’t got to touch you yet,” DaBaby’s artist went on. “You won’t have to worry about nothing in the world! I won’t steer you in the wrong direction, I won’t miss a beat. I won’t let you make the same mistakes I made.” He also noted that he plans to have the sort of bond with his child that he always craved from his own dad. “I can’t wait to catch you and hold you. I appreciate you and your mama for changing my life right on time. Moral of the story is it’s all about you kid. Nothing matters anymore. You the top priority ❤❤❤❤.”

Stunna 4 Vegas’ emotional words didn’t stop there. He also addressed Monaleo, specifically thanking her for “letting [him] in like no other.” The expecting father ended off with “I’m rocking to yo beat 4L & after 🌍.” See the couple’s ultrasound photo for yourself below, and check back later for more hip-hop news updates.

Lil Durk Performs At Howard University, Asks Crowd If He & India Royale Should Get Back Together

Lil Durk recently donated $350,000 to Howard University in the form of scholarships and grants, and also participated in their 2023 Springfest to give fans and community members a great time. Not only did he directly give the institution $250,000 for grants funds, but he gave $50,000 each to two Chicago students to attend Howard on a scholarship. During his performance, he seemed to really engage the crowd with his energy, his slew of hit tracks, and the intimate setting. However, the Chicago MC also had to ask his crowd for relationship advice.

“If y’all want me to get back with India, say hell yeah!” he proclaimed, and the crowd screamed in turn. Moreover, Durk and India have quite the history and seem to be on relatively good terms even despite Smurk’s persistence. After a suggestive IG Live where they seemed to laugh together and where Durk held a mystery woman’s hand, many think that they’re back together. However, given their unclear back-and-forths prior to this development, fans can’t really be too sure. After all, this is the man who said “that p***y’s mine forever.”

Lil Durk Longs For India Royale At Howard University

Still, Lil Durk clearly still cares a lot for India Royale, as evidenced by his birthday message for her earlier this year. “Let me just look crazy cause GM y’all,” he wrote on Instagram. “She not dumb or justot her money on her own even after I went broke she help me… Watch my page all day ima give the street and relationship some tips later from the voice. Not the people who post drama only it’s f***ed up on my end not hers. I f***ed up she played a small part she really a good girls who live life. Ima good guy good husband cause I just over talked never listen to her pain. Back when she was back pregnant willow in the belly aka fat ma.

“So I ain’t perfect but I’m for you and I love you,” he continued. “And I’m all ears when ever we get back in a relationship. You saved my life with you and willow and big sky outside all my kids you was there ripthang. This real s**t don’t attack her she definitely the best in the world trust me. I love you having fun and we ain’t fighting I said not fight and I started one but I miss you that’s all. Happy bday @indiaroyale,” he concluded. “Not belated everyday your day… read it everybody. Real love not a paid situation I just love her to death. She fed up but ima save us.” Regardless of your take, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Lil Durk and India Royale.

Finesse2tymes’ New Girl Gives Him “Alpha Male Treatment” After Erica Banks Couldn’t Deliver: Watch

If there’s one thing that Finesse2tymes has made abundantly clear he expects in relationships, it’s the king treatment. In late 2022, he and Erica Banks spent a brief period together, though we’ve since found out that they broke things off because she couldn’t keep up with his demands. While the Texas-born rap diva would rather wake up and check out her bank account, the 90 Days hitmaker prefers a woman to wake up and cater to his needs, such as making breakfast and having sex before even thinking about scrolling through social media.

“When you get up and get on your phone, I don’t like that. Don’t get straight on your phone when you around a man,” he ranted on The Breakfast Club earlier this year. In response to this, Banks said on social media, “This man crazy… There’s a difference between a good woman, and a ‘do girl.’ You get where I’m going? With Finesse, he wants a servant.” Clearly, a breakup was the right call for these two, as their personal values appear to be complete opposites, only leading to rising tension for the former couple.

Finesse2tymes is Living His Best Life

Banks has since been trading flirtatious and salacious tweets with fellow female rapper Sukihana on Twitter, and Finesse also looks to have found a new lover of his own. Earlier this weekend, the 30-year-old shared some videos on his Instagram Story, revealing the wifely duties the latest woman in his life has been carrying out. In one clip, @fng_shugga helps him get dressed in his clothes for the day. Another sees her massaging the Memphis native’s feet, the words, “Stack, pray, [and] stay out the way 💯,” written across the screen.

It remains unclear how long Finesse2tymes and his new lady have been seeing one another, though they certainly look comfortable. In @theshaderoom’s comment section, users didn’t hesitate to clown the rapper for his view of the opposite sex. “He ain’t cute enough for all that,” one comment reads. “So he wants another mom. Got it,” and “Erica said ‘N*gga PLEASE’ 😂😂,” others chimed in. Do you think the “How to Act” hitmaker’s standards are too high? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news.

LaNisha Cole Showers Baby Onyx In Love After Nick Cannon Forgets Her Name In Howard Stern Interview

As hard as Nick Cannon tries to maintain peace among his 12 children and six baby mamas, he obviously can’t always succeed. Earlier this week, the media personality took a huge L during an interview with Howard Stern. At the time, he was facing the challenge of listing the names of all his offspring. While he nearly nailed it, he forgot to include LaNisha Cole’s seven-month-old daughter, Onyx Ice Cole, in his list, earning Cannon significant backlash online, as well as a telling message posted on Instagram from his sixth baby mama. As per Page Six, the Story appeared on the model’s account on Thursday (April 13), giving some insight into her feelings on the situation.

“My whole world…” she previously wrote over an adorable photo of her growing baby in an animal-themed outfit. “The most beautiful little girl. I will do everything I can every single day to make sure she knows how special she is and how much I love and adore her,” Cole publicly pledged. In another slide, this one a much more serious black screen with white text, the 41-year-old reminded others in the online space that living life in the public eye is far from easy.

LaNisha Loves Her Baby Girl

“It’s not normal to have your life play out in front of an audience,” the mother of one began, “but this is the age we live in. That being said… No person’s path is linear. There’s going to be blind curves, peaks, valleys, and sometimes we make wrong turns or run into dead ends.” If this happens to you, Cole suggests that you “simply correct course and get back on your forward-moving path.” While things may look picture-perfect from the outside looking in, LaNisha made it known that she “[prays] every day for strength guidance and peace.”

Her heartfelt message came to an end with, “To all the moms out there, take care of your heart with the same love and patience you have for your babies. It’s not always easy but we were built for this ❤❤❤.” Revisit Nick Cannon’s awkward interview moment with Howard Stern below, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Bhad Bhabie & Her BF LeVaughn Tattoo Each Other’s Names

At just 20 years old, Bhad Bhabie is living a life that most can only dream of. While she got her start from an appearance on Dr. Phil during which the TV personality attempted to correct her bad attitude, the young entertainer has since come a long way. Not only has she collaborated with the likes of Lil Yachty, Kodak Black, and Lil Baby musically, but she’s also made some serious cash thanks to her OnlyFans profile, where she sells salacious content to thirsty fans. Outside of that, Bhabie’s love life has also been thriving – so much so, in fact, that she and her boyfriend recently tattooed each other’s names.

As TMZ reports, photos are surfacing online of the “Gucci Flip Flops” artist’s latest ink. It’s a chest piece in bright red ink, which spells out her man’s name, “LeVaughn,” above her breast. Aside from that, Danielle Bregoli also sat through another decently sized session, this one adding “1111” in the same colour on her shoulder, located right beside her famous butterfly neck tattoo. It seems the numerical ink is also a tribute to Bhabie’s beau, who took a photo of her new additions for his Instagram Story, writing, “Scorpio 11:11 [if you know you know].”

Bhad Bhabie Expands Her Tattoo Collection

Of course, LeVaughn also got some ink in honour of BB. For his part, he allowed an artist to write “Danielle Marie,” the rap diva’s first and middle name, across his neck in elegant cursive script. As expected, online trolls are slamming the Florida native over giving her man such a serious commitment, but she’s since made it clear that she’s not bothered by their opinions. “I love that man whether y’all like it or not, y’all gonna talk regardless,” Bhabie told the internet.

Elsewhere in the news, the internet star celebrated her 20th birthday just last month, at which time a controversial video of her twerking on her mom began making rounds across social media. See that for yourself here, and keep scrolling to check out Bhad Bhabie’s tattoo collection. Afterward, tell us which of her pieces is your favourite in the comments below.
