Lil Yachty & Mariah The Scientist Beef Over Dating Rumours

Like many others in the music industry, Mariah the Scientist didn’t always plan on becoming a singer. She came onto the scene with a bang in 2019, sharing her MASTER project including popular titles like “Beetlejuice,” “Reminders,” and “Note to Self.” In the years since, she’s given us 2021’s RY RY WORLD featuring Young Thug and Lil Baby, as well as last year’s Buckles Laboratories Presents: The Intermission four-pack EP.

Before she became known as Young Thug’s current love interest, and an R&B starlet in her own right, Mariah was a student at St. John’s University in New York. She was previously accepted at the school on a biology scholarship, hence her stage name, but ultimately dropped out to pursue a career in music. Before she was involved with the YSL head, the “Church” songstress was rumoured to be with Lil Yachty, who some think is the real reason she walked away from her post-secondary education.

Mariah’s Life Before Music

As XXL reports, earlier this weekend a tweet that brought attention back to the rumoured pair’s years-old drama appeared online. “How do you go to school to be an anesthesiologist and [end] up flunking out [because] of Lil Yachty?” the account holder asked, earning thousands of likes. In a series of since-deleted posts of his own, the “Broccoli” hitmaker spoke out on the situation. “Lol why do y’all keep trying me over this woman?” he asked. “I been [quiet] for so long but [please] stop making up this weird ass false narrative.”

He went on to call out the Scientist for staying silent as well, writing, “and the fact Mariah just let all these lies go on is weird to me. Y’all really be on d*ck about shit y’all [know] nothing about… Go touch grass.” Of course, the drama didn’t stop there. When another internet troll suggested that Yachty got a friend of the 25-year-old’s pregnant, he shut down that gossip too. “This is also just not true. Lmao, they were never friends… EVER, never met. Rarely had a full conversation. They just followed each other… [YOU] N*GGAS [ARE] WEIRD!!!!!!!!!!!”

Lil Yachty Clears His Name, The Scientist Responds

Further clearing his name in another tweet, the “Poland” artist added, “and me and Mariah wasn’t dating at the time… Again!!!!!! Only time I’ma say this. Leave me out of it,” his rant concluded. When Yachty finished speaking his truth, it was the Scientist’s turn to enter the chat. “I know a n*gga ain’t having [something to] say ’bout [something] I don’t ever speak on,” she wrote on the same app. “Miles [you] got to be dizzy, I will air [you] out on this bitch,” her since-removed response read. See it all for yourself above, and check back later for more hip-hop news updates.

Pete Davidson & Chase Sui Pack On The PDA After Ice Spice Dating Rumors

Even though they previously denied dating rumors, Pete Davidson and Chase Sui Wonders laid on heavy PDA during their Hawaii vacation. Moreover, photographers spotted the couple on Wednesday (March 1) at Waimea Canyon on the island of Kauai. Furthermore, the two reportedly spent a winter break there, which they’ve kept enjoying. Also, they brought the celebrity allure down as they walked among fellow visitors and patrons and asked people to take pictures of them with their phones. All in all, the two’s closeness eviscerated earlier rumors concerning Davidson’s love life and new partners.

For example, Twitter recently came up with a theory that the comedian was dating Ice Spice. Of course, these rumors are part of the Internet wanting the “Bikini Bottom” star to date anyone she’s close to. Interestingly enough, the page that prompted the rumors say they explicitly post fake news for fun, not to be taken seriously. Still, people saw the headline and reacted hilariously with speculation and disbelief. Even with social media starting a fire every time he dates someone new, at least the two seem happy to be away from it all.

Pete Davidson & Chase Sui Show PDA On Hawaii Vacation

Of course, the comedy star’s dating history is well-documented, extensive, and notorious at this point. After much publicized relationships with the likes of Kim Kardashian and Emily Ratajkowski, he’s become a gossip headline mainstay. However, it hasn’t impacted his career or comedy chops, at least according to some people. In fact, Chase and Pete met on the set of the 2021 film Bodies Bodies Bodies. Moreover, they also worked together on Davidson’s series “Bupkis,” loosely based on his life.

Meanwhile, Pete’s dating history’s ups and downs caused him to make multiple back-and-forths on his body art. For example, he recently removed tattoos dedicated to Kim Kardashian. Fans noticed the removals upon seeing pictures of him and Sui on their Hawaii vacation, which is quite ironic. Hopefully the comedian can simply enjoy a relationship one day without media breathing down his neck. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest updates, news, and rumored or confirmed relationship statuses of Pete Davidson.

Michael B. Jordan’s Best Movie Performances

Actor Michael B. Jordan, 36, previously linked to model and entrepreneur Lori Harvey, 26, may be newly single, but that doesn’t stop him from getting to work. Best known for his performances in movies like Without Remorse, Creed, Black Panther, and Fruitvale Station, Jordan shows a versatile acting range with his ability to transform from boxing champ mentored by Rocky Balboa to human torch in Marvel’s, Fantastic Four to the oppressed family man in the true story about a thoughtful and hardworking man facing tragedy amid an an unlawful arrest. Though an act, thoughtful and hardworking seem to describe Jordan to a tee. 

Michael B. Jordan’s Relationship With Socialite Lori Harvey

Once Michael B. Jordan and Harvey split from longtime and very public relationship in 2022. Jordan exemplified himself as a true gentleman by saying nothing but good things about socialite ex, Harvey. He’s remaining positive about his future relationships stating on SNL, “Now, most people after a breakup are like, ‘I’m gonna get in better shape.’ But, I was already in Creed shape! So, I had to be like, ‘Alright, I guess I’ll learn a new language.’ Anyway, estoy en Raya.” Meaning he’s joined the elite dating app, Raya in hopes of finding love. Harvey, previously linked to rapper Future, 39 in 2019, is now dating actor Damson Irdis, 31. 

Though Jordan remains single, he is still hard at work. Not only does Jordan dedicate his time to changing his physique for his demanding roles like Creed I, II, and III, he was also named one of TIME’s 2020 100 Most Influential People in the World for his charity and volunteer work. He donated customized sneakers to the largest African American women and girl’s nonprofit in the US, GirlTrek.

With his personal life and charitable work to the side, Jordan focuses mostly on his new role as both director and producer to his upcoming movies, Creed III and I Am Legend 2. Not only that, but Jordan will be taking on roles in both movies. It’s no wonder New York Times ranked Jordan as the 15th greatest actor in the 21st century. He shows true skill while personifying his demandingly gripping roles which take leadership, strength, emotional depth, and physical endurance, all while taking the lead behind the camera as well.

Jordan Prepares for His Standout Movie Roles

For his role in Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse, Jordan talks about how the character-work while developing his role for lethal US Navy Seal, John Kelly who was seeking revenge from Russian hitmen in the killing of his pregnant wife and unit members, was something that resonated with him on a personal level. He says it wasn’t only the necessary endurance for the role that made him train harder, but the story itself. Jordan also states that getting through the second half of the set was difficult, as the training was strenuous. But, he made it work.

For his role in the Creed trilogy, Jordan had to train harder than ever before, Mentored in the movie by none other than Sylvester Stallone as Rocky Balboa, for his role as boxing champion Adonis, Jordan had to dedicate all day to training, yet again. Jordan’s character in Creed faces both wins and losses as he battles in both the ring and his life. Being the son of the late heavyweight champion, Apollo Creed, Adonis has to prove himself as a boxer to not be taken lightly. As the franchise has three separate films, Jordan has had to not only stay in training mode for multiple years, but stay mentally focused as well.

He’s Apart Of The Marvel Movie Franchise

Jordan’s next standout role was his act as antagonist in the Black Panther. Here, Jordan played an American black mercenary operative who challenged T’Challa, played by the late Chadwick Boseman. His character battled for the revenge of his father who was murdered by T’Challa’s father, the black panther. T’Challa accepts Jordan’s character, Erik Killmonger, aka N’Jadaka, request to avenge his late father. The two go on to battle in another film where Jordan had to again rigorously train his physical body forthe role.

Michael B. Jordan’s role in the true story of a young black man, Oscar Grant, murdered by a police officer on duty at a train station in Oakland, CA., was yet another standout role where he embodied a strong man who upon being cornered to his demise, held his dignity to the very end. Winning multiple awards at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival for its clutching dramatics of an innocent man, Fruitvale Station was a role where Jordan had to develop a deep character portrayal of a father, loyal friend, and grocery store worker.

In the film, Grant, upon a ride on the train one morning, was caught up in a bust. He was taken aside by police, and in an effort to first suffocate Grant, an Officer stands off and pulls his trigger. The officer proceeds to cuff Grant after shooting him on his backside, ending in Grant’s unlawful death.

Michael B. Jordan’s Favorite Roles

Though Jordan played many iconic roles, he says that playing Vince in Friday Night Lights was fun to take on. He had never played organized football and enjoyed the first role where he had to physically prepare himself. Jordan also says his role as Adonis in Creed was a good learning experience. He had to train 2-3X a day 6x a week for over a year with a strict diet.

Jordan’s Next Moves…

To no surprise, Jordan’s acting roles have led him to more than just accolades and awards. He’s trained his body so hard that People Magazine named him as 2020’s Sexiest Man Alive. With Creed III released, Jordan can be found preparing for interviews regarding his exemplary acting and directorship of the movie. As for Jordan’s next role after Creed III, he will be starring alongside Will Smith in I Am Legend 2. Also producing the film, we should expect a very focused Jordan as the next year unfolds.

Reggie Bush’s Wife Lilit Shares Dripping Wet Dance Video: “Happy Birthday Daddy”

Birthdays are certainly reason enough to celebrate. For those who happen to be in love, however, going all out with romantic (and sometimes sexy) presents for your partner is never a bad idea. This was advice clearly given to Lilit Avagayn before her husband, Reggie Bush, turned 38 earlier this week. In honour of her man, the dance choreographed an intimate routine to Chris Brown’s “Under The Influence,” sure to leave him tantalized.

“Happy Birthday Daddy,” she wrote in the caption of her commemorative Instagram post. “I dedicate this dance to you, my love. Sometimes mommy dances,” the brunette beauty added. The post was later edited to address the hate comments that have been pouring in. Due to the intimate nature of her routine, and the water pouring down making it all the more inappropriate, many viewers were left uncomfortable by Avagayn’s antics.

Alexa, Play “Birthday Sex”

“There are some things you just gotta keep between you and your husband,” one person wrote. “Why do we have to see you dedicating your body to him?” Clapping back at comments like this, Bush’s wife wrote, “I’m a dancer! I wanted to do a dance and post it on MY social media and dedicate the dance to my husband. How can anyone be mad at that? Just enjoy the performance.”

Thankfully, not all the replies to Avagayn’s birthday tribute were negative. “That is awesome that you know how to keep the spark going in your marriage and that you still find ways to let him know he is the one,” one person praised the 35-year-old. “I am surprised at some responses when this looks like the choreography from many dance videos we see on social media. Also when singers do this in their videos it is art.”

Reggie and Lilit’s Life Together

As TMZ notes, Reggie Bush and Lilit Avagayn tied the knot nearly a decade ago, in 2014. They share three young children together, Agyemang, Briseis, and Uriah, all pictured with their parents above. Do you think the birthday dance video was too much for Instagram? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news.

Kim Kardashian Ready To Date, Wants Man Who “Isn’t Famous In Hollywood”: Report

Kim Kardashian has been a part of numerous failed relationships throughout her life, but she’s not giving up on love. According to a Friday (March 3) report from PEOPLE, the socialite is feeling “ready” to start dating again after ending things with Pete Davidson in mid-2022. It sounds like her next beau could be very different from the men from her past.

When she was only 19 years old, the mother of four eloped with music producer Damon Thomas. Their divorce was finalized three years later, in 2003, at which time Kardashian was spending time with Ray J. During their relationship, the singer and model famously made a sex tape together, which was leaked in February 2007. As many have pointed out, this was the true catalyst for her inevitable rise to fame.

Kim’s Romantic Past

As Us Weekly notes, Kardashian also spent time with two Nicks – Lachey and Cannon – before meeting long-term beau Reggie Bush. They were together on and off from 2007 to 2010. After that, the reality star stepped out with a handful of other stars before connecting with Kris Humphries. She and the athlete were engaged less than a year after meeting. While they went through with their wedding, it ended after just 72 days and wasn’t settled until April 2013.

Kanye West is the man who came into the SKIMS founder’s life next, and though their marriage also ultimately ended, they share four beautiful children together. Their split was publicly played out via the rapper’s Instagram feed, but he’s been far quieter on Instagram as of late. When Kimye went their separate ways, she found a spark with Davidson, but that burnt out after nine months.

Looking to the Future

After taking time off from romance to heal and focus on her family, Kardashian has formed a better idea of what she’s looking for in a man. “Kim hasn’t been dating, but is ready again,” insiders told PEOPLE earlier this week. “She took a breather after Pete, but she is interested now. She would love to date someone who isn’t famous in Hollywood. Someone in finance would be perfect.”

Sources shared that the makeup mogul “has a lot of things going on that make her happy,” and being able to share that with a partner would bring her joy. Who would you like to see Kim Kardashian date next? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Kanye West’s Dating History

Kanye West, 45, is easily one of music’s biggest icons, as his creative genius is both emotionally moving and intellectually developed. Not only do his rhythmic lyrics of poetic rap make him a standout in the music industry, but his many accolades prove he’s one of the greatest, as not many artists articulate their musical ability the way West does. His 4X platinum debut album, The College Dropout, also named to Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. It showcased West’s musical outlook through his emotive lyrics and layered beats influenced by genres alike. His albums to follow like Graduation, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, and Watch The Throne would soon preview West as the influential artist that he is to this day.

With 22 Grammy awards, West is one of the most decorated artists of our generation. When his first three studio albums were nominated for Album of the Year at the Grammys, Rolling Stone was quick to name West as one of the 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time alongside artists like Jay-Z, Michael Jackson, and Elton John. 

Though the Chicago-based rapper has dedicated most of his life to generating, creating, and producing music, West made the time to become a father of four with entrepreneur and model Kim Kardashian, 42. Focused on his life outside of music like fatherhood and his infamous Sunday Services of praise and prayer, West has taken a step back from the “ultralight beam”. He is now focused on his new relationship with architect and Yeezy designer Bianca Censori, 27.

Currently not only linked but married to Censori, West tied the knot just months after his public divorce from Kardashian. Though West and Censori had a private wedding ceremony, the two have yet to file a marriage certificate. Therefore, their marriage is not completely legal. With a master’s in building design from Melbourne University in Australia, it’s no wonder West is attracted to Censori, as she displays a calm demeanor and knowledgeable intellect, just opposite of West’s extroverted eccentricity. Though the two share their creativity, there’s yet to be much information on the newlyweds other than West’s tribute to his wife in his new song,Censori Overload“, where he raps, “Waking up to I can’t do this anymore texts, and the Bible said I can’t have any more sex till marriage.”

Kim Kardashian Says She And Kanye West Have No Communication

Before Censori, West was “bound to” Kardashian in a seven-year marriage beginning in 2014 with their destination wedding in Italy. The divorcées share children, North, 9, Saint, 7, Chicago, 5, and Psalm, 3. Though West reportedly bought the mansion across the street from Kardashian’s Calabasas home, Kardashian bought it back from him and states that the two have zero communication in their co-parenting settlement where Kardashian is receiving $200,000 a month from West. Throughout their marriage, Kardashian showed West support in his controversial campaign to run for President, among many other public antics from West. The two seemingly fell for each other long before their relationship started but made a clear break from one another after their divorce was finalized in 2022.

Julia Fox Says Kanye West Would Constantly Text Her

Before West wed his second wife Censori in 2023, he was in a public relationship with model Julia Fox, 32. Fox says that West was very persistent in courting her, saying he would constantly text her. Though she was apprehensive to date another “boring” celebrity, Fox was soon to give in to her feelings for West. Fox claims she was only trying to distract West so he wouldn’t bother Kardashian, but their public relationship seemingly manifested into more than just texting, as Fox states that she and West had many deep conversations about hopes and dreams. Fox ended their relationship after two months due to West regaining his Twitter access and taking to social media again. “I’m not gonna stick around for this s**t,” says Fox in an online rant about the breakup. The two remain on good terms.

Instagram model Chaney Jones, 24, has also been linked to West. The two dated for 5 months after West and Fox broke off their relationship. Facing backlash for dating Jones because she is a close look-alike to Kardashian, Jones and West got pretty close. So close that Jones got the rapper’s name tattooed on her left wrist where it displays “ye.” From courtside basketball games to shopping trips and vacations, the two spent so much time together. They became official over social media where they both gushed about one another on photos posted of them together. The two officially broke it off after West was seen with another woman at the movies. Neither Jones nor West has commented much on the split.  

Long before his most recent public relationships, West can be linked to multiple women in Hollywood including entrepreneur Amber Rose, 39, model Irina Shayk, 37, stylist Alexis Phifer, 46, and Pussycat Doll singer Melody Thornton, 38. However, West’s most high-profile relationship was with Rose between 2008 and 2010 before they split to be with other people. West went as far as rapping about the model in multiple songs on his album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Rose commented on his lyrics saying, “Don’t get me wrong, I’ll hear songs and I’m like, ‘Oh, he said that about me? No one knows what he’s talking about but me and him. People can’t decipher. They’ll be like, that’s a cool song, and I’m like, that happened to us when we were together.

West Signs New Deal With Adidas

Recently, West has been spotted both alone and with his wife Censori. He had a few run-ins with the paparazzi. But it was while he was on his way to support his children. So he wasn’t as sporadic as he tends to be when triggered by the media. Though controversies continue to arise for West, he has solidified a deal with Adidas after he was terminated in 2022 for antisemitic comments. His new deal will allow for the sales of $500 million in Yeezy products to continue. 

As of late, the impassioned rapper is only releasing music on his personal platform, Stem Player for $200 stating, “Today artists get just 12 [percent] of the money the industry makes. It’s time to free music from this oppressive system. It’s time to take control and build our own.” West’s last release was Donda 2 in 2022. Though you’ll only be able to listen on Stem Player, West stays adamant on his decision to polarize his platform. 

Brittany Renner Reflects On Deion Sanders Inviting Her To JSU: “Doesn’t Feel Good”

Her sexual exploits have been debated among social media users, and Brittany Renner hasn’t been intimidated by the criticism. She faced controversy over her relationship with PJ Washington while he was in college. The basketball star was reportedly 18 when he met the 24-year-old Renner; four years later, the pair welcomed a son. However, it was around the time of the pregnancy that things took a turn, and these days, Washington is engaged to someone else.

Renner has taken hits over the age gap but argued that men don’t receive the same pushback when they date younger. In December 2021, back when he was still coaching at Jackson State University, Deion Sanders raised eyebrows by inviting Renner to speak to his players. At the time, the football coach said the knowledge Renner possessed could help his players understand what was going on in the real world.

Degrading Or Empowering?

Renner was happy to oblige and visited the university for an intimate conversation. However, more recently, she spoke with The Shade Room about the moment, and she may be regretful. It was noted that Sanders’s invitation seemed to more like a warning for his players to watch out for women like Renner. She was asked if that was empowering or degrading for her.

“When I originally agreed to do it, I thought it was empowering,” Renner answered. “[Hindesight], looking now from where I’m sitting? It doesn’t really feel that good.” Elsewhere, Renner also addressed the narrative that she and Washington hate one another behind the scenes. “I don’t know why people even still think the way that they do about that situation.”

Nothing But Love From Brittany Renner

“I love my child’s father to death. I don’t want to be with him” she further stated. “And our son was planned. I thought that was my guy, I guess foolish of me for thinking someone who’s only six years younger than me. Let’s not even get into the age gap… I just genuinely thought that was my person who understood and saw me for me cause he never judged me. That’s how it appeared — that’s obviously not true.”

Latto Explains Why She Keeps Her Private Life Secret

Not everyone wants to keep their life under wraps these days, but Latto is tight-lipped. It doesn’t seem like the hitmaker can catch a break, at least not on social media. Latto is inundated with harsh critiques, trolls, and mean-spirited naysayers who flood her mentions. This may be why she’s opted to keep her love life private, and during her chat with Extra TV, she explained balancing her public persona and home life.

Recently, there was yet another surge of questions about who Latto was dating. The rapper has curbed questions about her beau for years, only sharing that she’s happily in love. Latto won’t even hint at who it may be, but internet sleuths are doing their best to find out. People are convinced that she’s with 21 Savage, and Moneybagg Yo’s reported hairstylist even seemingly confirmed the information earlier this week.

Latto Is Grateful For Her Life

Latto looked stunning at the Billboard Women in Music Awards, where she was given the Powerhouse honor. While on the red carpet, she chatted with Lindsay about her private life. “I really be waking up like, ‘Is this really my life?’ I’m like, ‘Everybody’s healthy around me — I could buy them whatever they want,’” said the hitmaker. “It’s like, where I’m from, I already made it, baby. We already made it.”

The 777 star also dropped off some advice for women looking to reach similar success. “I would say stay focused,” said Latto. “Look to your peers because nobody understand us like each other. We all share a lot of the same experiences and ups and downs, you know what I’m saying? So I feel like look to each other for unity and just stay focused because, you know, these men being in our DMs or whatever, like, they be trying to you know throw us off our game, but, you know what I’m saying, I ain’t slipping on my pigeon.”

It’s Give & Take

She added, “You got to because everything else is, like ,so exposed to the world. If it’s real, cherish it, keep it close to you.” Check out more from Latto and Rachel Lindsay above.

Keke Palmer Praises Single Parents After Welcoming Her Son: “I’m Gettin’ COOKED!”

Celebrities – they’re just like us. In the days after giving birth for the first time, Keke Palmer is keeping it incredibly real with her followers. In a video posted to her feed on Friday (March 3), the True Jackson VP actress admitted that parenthood has been anything but easy so far. Thankfully, she has her boyfriend, Darius Jackson, by her side. Still, she took a moment to acknowledge the hard work of people who are raising children on their own.

“I just came on here to say, if you are a single parent, pull out your cape. Matter fact, clip your angel wings. Because I don’t know how it is you did it,” Palmer told the camera as her weekend was beginning. “And I really don’t want this to sound pander-y or something like this, because I know there are a million and one reasons why somebody wants to be a single parent or becomes a single parent. Maybe they lost somebody, maybe they don’t want to deal with somebody, maybe it’s a choice.”

Keke Gives an Update on Motherhood

The Illinois-born entertainer then admitted that she’s realizing that it truly does “take a village” to rear a little one. “Sometimes that’s a privilege,” Palmer acknowledged. “And I just want anybody out there that’s a single parent that’s been doing this – friends of mine, people that I don’t know, family members of mine – it brings tears to my eyes. I am just truly, profoundly impressed.”

In the caption of her vulnerable video, the new mother added, “I ain’t gon’ lie, I’m gettin’ COOKED!” Seeing as she’s been so honest about her family life on social media so far, we’re expecting plenty more updates from the Hustlers actress and little Leodis Andrellton Jackson. While many agree that the infant is absolutely adorable, his name hasn’t gotten such a positive reaction from social media.

Defending Little Leodis from Internet Trolls

After she shared the exciting news of her son’s arrival online, well-wishes began flying towards the growing family. Of course, there were snide comments about the moniker chosen by the young parents. “That name sound like it led a civil rights march,” one Twitter user wrote at the end of February. In response, Keke Palmer wrote back, “It’s giving I marched with Martin, purrrr.” See what else trolls had to say about the baby’s unique name here, and check back later for more pop culture news.

Mike Tyson Questions Blueface & Chrisean About Abusive Romance

Blueface and Chrisean Rock are in the thick of a lengthy press run, and their latest stop was Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson. In recent months, the explosive couple has put all of their highs and lows on full display, leaving some spectators concerned. Rock’s hot-headed nature was first revealed when she initially partnered with Blueface years ago as a cast member of his reality show. Things took a turn when business mixed with pleasure; now, they can’t get away from one another.

They may be capitalizing on their notoriety, but Blue and Chrisean’s relationship has also been heavily criticized. Videos of their arguments float throughout social media, including the pair punching one another in the street. They’ve laughed through answers when questioned in interviews about the violence. It was even included in their Zeus network reality series, Crazy in Love.

Tyson Asks If Fighting Is How They Show Love

The couple’s demeanor was only slightly different when in the presence of Mike Tyson. “What sets you guys off to fight? That’s the controversy. What sets you guys off to fight? And why are you guys willing to fight anybody?” asked the sports icon. “Is it love that makes you feel this?” Chrisean acted as if she didn’t fully understand the question. “Each other? Or anybody?” she said.

“Me? I don’t know. I’m more of like a—I don’t know,” answered Blueface. “I don’t fight unless I have to. For real.” Rock said otherwise. According to her, Blueface “plays nice and then he switch.” Tyson also questioned if Blueface “[likes] when she beats on you.”

Blueface Thinks It’s Weird That Fighting Is Normalized In Their Romance

Blueface said, “Nah, it’s kinda weird, honestly. It’s a weird situation to be in. You wanna fight but it’s like…I don’t know. It’s never worth it.” Rock added, “If it was a sport, it’d be cool.” Tyson empathized with the couple, stating that he and his wife stopped fighting after they quit drinking alcohol. Tyson’s past is riddled with allegations of abuse, most notably from his marriage to Robin Givens in the 1990s. Check out more from Blueface and Chrisean’s conversation with Mike Tyson above.
