6ix9ine Proposes To New Girlfriend In Dubai: Report

by

6ix9ine is taking cuffing season seriously this year, according to a new report from HipHopDX. Photos of the rapper in Dubai with a new woman have been making rounds online. Specifically, they’re causing speculation that the pair went through with an engagement.

Earlier this week, DJ Akademiks shared a photo on Instagram. In it, we see the “GOOBA” hitmaker on one knee in front of an elaborate floral display. “Will you marry me?” bright lights in the centre read. His partner holds his hand in a tight white dress as he proposes.

At this time, it remains unclear if the romantic moment was him legitimately popping the question, or just a set-up for a music video or other project.

Though the woman’s face remains mostly hidden in the image, she looks to be different than 6ix9ine’s most recent girlfriend, Jade. Born Rachel Wattley, the rapper’s ex found herself under arrest back in August on domestic violence charges. At the time, she allegedly punched him during a night out at a Miami club.

Footage that went viral online shows a group of women (including his then-partner of four years) arguing with the New Yorker. As they were standing in the street, one of them tries to swing at Tekashi. Immediately afterward, he heads to a car to wait for law enforcement to arrive.

According to the police report, officers saw the couple leave the club in a verbal argument. 6ix9ine also reportedly told them that Wattley assaulted him, and they observed the marks left on his face from the incident.

Witnesses helped them piece together the full story. Jade is said to have hit the 26-year-old, later attempting to grab his chain. Even with the physical altercation, though, the recording artist wasn’t interested in pressing charges.

Since then, they seem to have gone their separate ways. Most recently, 6ix9ine has been romantically linked to the ex-girlfriend of the late Pop Smoke, Alyssa Danielle.

Back in October, he publicly addressed the rumours surrounding them, as did she. Read what 6ix9ine had to say about all the drama here, and check back in with HNHH later for more pop culture news updates.

Pretty Vee Seemingly Confirms She’s Dating Rick Ross

by

It seems as though there’s a new celebrity couple in Hollywood. Pretty Vee has confirmed her relationship with Rick Ross.

During her recent appearance on Revolt TV’s Black Girl Stuff talk show, the actress addressed the recent rumours. One of the show’s hosts, Akilah Ffriend, didn’t hesitate to bring up the social media star’s alleged tie-up with Rozay.

When asked about her attraction to the 46-year-old, she certainly didn’t hold back. “I think it’s the boss in him. I like guys who lead. So when you a leader, you can step to me,” she proclaimed.

Furthermore, she went on to explain that their relationship goes much deeper than the surface. “Ross is the type of person who you look at and you just admire … you’re inspired by,” the social media star elaborated.

Over the past couple of years, rumours were circulating about the alleged couple’s fling. The Rap Sh*t actress officially became a global ambassador for Luc Belaire in 2020. 

The “Hustlin’” rapper has been a major promoter of the French sparkling wine brand for nearly a decade. 

Additionally, the gossip was later re-energized in September 2021 when the couple had a viral moment together. This came after they shared promo for their collaborative Boss Talk conversation series.

Regardless, the pair was actively hesitant in confirming anything until now.

Earlier this year, the Maybach Music boss teased his 12th studio album. Last year’s Richer Than I Ever Been is his latest full-length release. 

As a typical year goes for Rozay, the busy rapper has appeared on a number of different releases with guest verses. Namely, he’s present on DJ Khaled’s monstrous “God Did” single along with the likes of JAY-Z and Lil Wayne.

Subsequently, a remix of fellow Florida native Trapland Pat’s “Big Business” has helped to solidify one of the city’s latest regional hits. 

What are your thoughts on the new couple? Be sure to stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news in pop culture.

Ye & Kim Kardashian: Kanye Encourages Ex-Wife To Marry Tom Brady

by

Ye and Kim Kardashian might’ve just finalized their divorce but the internationally renowned artist believes his ex-wife should use her platform to “keep families together.”

Kanye provided plenty of mind-boggling moments during his recent press. Ye’s made his presence felt across right-wing platforms alongside notable alt-right figure, Nick Fuentes.

Last week, he appeared on Alex Jones’ InfoWars where he addressed everything from his presidential run, his love for Hitler, and of course, his divorce from Kim Kardashian. At one point, Ye told Kim to “come home to Christ” after shading Hulu and Disney.

“Hulu does not love you, Kim. Disney does not love you, Kim. Come home, Kim. Come home to Christ,” he said. “Go to God. Go to Jesus,” he continued before slamming Kim stating that she might not get married once again.

“Or, marry somebody great. Go marry Tom Brady, whatever you want to do but get married and use your platform as an influence to keep families together. Don’t let the devil use you,” he said.

Interestingly enough, Ye and Tom Brady have formed somewhat of an acquaintanceship with one another. During his tirade against Pete Davidson, Brady co-signed Ye’s post about venture capitalist Andreeson Horowitz. Prior to that, Ye and his son, Saint, met with Tom Brady, who played catch with the 7-year-old.

Kanye’s comments came just after Ye and Kim Kardashian finalized their divorce. Kim and Ye called it quits following a string of online outbursts. However, the process took time since the initial filing.

Ye will have to cough up $200K monthly for child support for their four children. At the same time, the two will have “equal access” to their children. However, Kim Kardashian and Ye will need a mediator if there are any issues regarding the set-up.

Despite all of the controversy surrounding Kanye’s name, it seems like Kim Kardashian isn’t allowing that to interfere with the time he spends with their kids. Ye and North spent some quality time on a daddy-daughter shopping trip, hours after finalizing the divorce. Then, he picked up his son Saint from school shortly after. Clearly, his presidential campaign and other shenanigans aren’t getting in the way of his ability to parent his four kids.

Mariah Carey Wants Nick Cannon To Spend More Time With Their Two Kids

by

It looks like Nick Cannon hasn’t been around enough for his firstborn children and Mariah Carey is calling him out for it. The former power couple were together for only three years when they welcomed their fraternal twins to the world.

The pair married in the Bahamas in 2018 after only a six-week-long romance, spending the next six years together. They separated in 2014 and settled their divorce two years later in 2016.

Mariah Carey Talks Co-Parenting

In an interview with Amazon’s Style Code Live in 2017, the singer addressed the importance of co-parenting. “You put the kids first, but then when you understand that you have unconditional love for these human beings and you want the best existence for them, then you put whatever differences you may have had aside,” she said.

Five years later, she believes Cannon could be spending more time with their children. According to a report from RadarOnline, Carey is putting pressure on Cannon to “carve out” more time for their 11-year-old twins.

The actor and comedian has a lot on his plate. For instance, he has to also carve out time for his eight other children too. On top of this, the 42-year-old is expecting the birth of his eleventh child shortly. The kid will be his second with his current partner, model Alyssa Scott. 

Their first son Zen, tragically died from a brain tumor at just five months old in December, 2021. A source close to the actor believes that he’s managing father duties to the best of his abilities. “Nick thinks it’s crazy wonderful having all these kids,” says the source.

Cannon is managing to keep a positive attitude throughout the drama. In a recent Christmas skit, he joked that he has “a whole hell of a lot of gifts to buy” this holiday season.

Comment down below how hard you think it would be to balance being a father to 11 different children.

by

Nia Long and Ime Udoka have broken up after spending 13 years together following Udoka’s alleged affair. The former Boston Celtics head coach reportedly had a relationship with a female staffer within the organization. The team suspended him for the incident.

“The situation is unfortunate and painful,” a source told People on Tuesday. “But Nia is focusing on her children and rebuilding her life.”

They added that the couple is “no longer together but remain fully committed to co-parenting their son [Kez].”

Regarding their son, Kez, who is 11 years old, Long recently told The Hollywood Reporter, “I think the most heartbreaking thing about all of this was seeing my son’s face when the Boston Celtics organization decided to make a very private situation public.”

The Celtics first announced Udoka’s suspension just weeks before the start of the 2022-23 NBA season. In a statement, they cited a violation of “team policies.”

ESPN reported afterward that Udoka had a “role in an intimate relationship with a female member of the franchise’s staff.”

“I want to apologize to our players, fans, the entire Celtics organization, and my family for letting them down,” Udoka said in an apology. “I am sorry for putting the team in this difficult situation, and I accept the team’s decision.”

Long added in her own statement: “The outpouring of love and support from family, friends and the community during this difficult time means so much to me. I ask that my privacy be respected as I process the recent events. Above all, I am a mother and will continue to focus on my children.”

Chloe Bailey Says Her Upcoming “For The Night” Single Is About Gunna

by

Chloe x Halle always knew they had strong potential as a duo, but over the last year, we’ve seen the Atlanta-based sisters explore themselves as individuals more than ever before. While the younger of the two spent time working with Disney on The Little Mermaid live-action remake, the eldest sister has been busy sharing new singles in between her sultry Instagram snapshots.

Chlöe’s first release as a solo artist was “Have Mercy,” which she followed earlier this year with “Treat Me,” the Shemix of Capella Grey’s “GYALIS,” and most recently, the super sexy “Surprise.”

As she prepares for the arrival of her next single, “For The Night,” the 24-year-old created a Twitter Spaces session so she could dish to her fans about what they should expect.

“Imma tell y’all a little secret about ‘For The Night,’” she began. “*deep breath* I might regret saying this, but hey, maybe it’ll help f*cking streams. I don’t even think he knows this! I wrote ‘For The Night’ about Gunna,” Bailey admitted.

“Yep, I said it bitches. I said it. So, you know. Yep. I wrote that song after The Breakfast Club interview I believe,” the R&B vocalist recalled.

As she continued to defend her decision, Bailey stated, “I’m a songwriter. I write my own shit, I get inspired by the smallest things, so, kiss my ass *laughs*. Talkin’ bout why don’t I say free this, or free that? Kiss my ass, I support in real life. Thank you!”

“But I’m single,” she clarified just as quickly. “I’m single, guys. Sorry to bust bubbles, but when I wrote that song months ago, I wrote it about him.”

Bailey then urged her fans to make sure they stream her upcoming single so they can find out about all the tea.

“Y’all talk about I need to spill the tea? I spilled the motherf*cking tea! So y’all can’t say I don’t spill tea no f*cking more.”

Freddie Gibbs Baby Mama Blasts Rapper After Call Out In “$$$”

by

Freddie Gibbs has finally released his new album, $oul $old $eperately. The project has been eagerly anticipated by fans, and hasn’t disappointed. The tracklist boasts features from the likes of Rick Ross, Scarface, Moneybagg Yo, Pusha T, Offset, Anderson .Paak, Raekwon, and more. As for Gibbs, his lyrical abilities appear to be as sharp as ever.

Lyrics on one song off the album, however, have poked a hornet’s nest. On “Grandma’s Stove,” Gibbs discusses his relationship with his baby mama, Raven Tatum. “Rap deadbeat daddy, that’s how thеy try to paint me,” Freddie laments on the track. “And that’s a shame ’cause those that know me know I love my babies / Raven was a rat, she scratched the Benzy and I dropped the charges / That ho know she’d never had my heart, so she attacked my pockets.”

Raven took no time to respond to the callout on Twitter. In since-deleted tweets, Tatum ripped into Gibbs and gave her side of the story. “I don’t like addressing BD drama,” she wrote. “But since Fred decided to call me by name on his album, let’s dispel some rumors.”

She proceeded to list her corrections and verifications. “1. I sure did key his car. And I’ll do it again,” she threatened. “He refused to watch our son and I got fired from UCLA because I had no babysitter. F**k my job? F**k your car.”

“Tbh the car was light work,” she elaborated. “He was in Europe with one of his many flunky girlfriends when I got fired. I wanted to beat the f**k out of him but he wasn’t in America so I picked the most expensive thing in the house and f**ked it up. If I lose a 6 figure job u lose a 6 figure car.”

“2. we weren’t in love,” Raven continued. “I never wanted to be in a relationship with him. He was engaged I was separated. I got pregnant. Erica offered to pay me to abort and I told her to f**k off and go to hell. She found out and put him out of her house. Tell the whole story Fred.”

Raven went on to allege that Gibbs is in fact a deadbeat, and that he barely sees his son. “Truly tired of being the scapegoat for everything that goes wrong in this n***a’s life,” she concluded.

Jada Pinkett Smith Describes Tupac Kiss As “Disgusting” In Resurfaced Interview

by

While hip-hop lovers have often speculated that Tupac and Jada Pinkett Smith may have been each other’s “the one that got away” prior to the rapper’s untimely death, a resurfaced interview from 2015 finds the Girls Trip actress explaining to Howard Stern just how wrong those theories are.

Many have wondered how the mother of two avoided the temptation right in front of her in the form of one of her closest friends, and the host didn’t hesitate to press her by asking, “How were you not attracted to Tupac?”

“I met Tupac at the Baltimore School of the Arts. We went to High School together,” Pinkett Smith recalled, also noting that, while the West Coast artist was undeniably charismatic, he was also poor, and allegedly only owned two pairs of pants and two sweaters when she met him.

As Stern inquired about if ‘Pac was as “gangsta as we all thought he was,” the 51-year-old confirmed the gossip. “He was a revolutionary without a revolution. That kind of energy just transferred into a whole other thing,” she explained.

When the host asked if Pinkett Smith thought the “All Eyez On Me” hitmaker was in love with her due to the beautiful poetry he penned in her honour, she said, “It is so funny. Now being older, I have more of an understanding of what that was between us.”

“When you have two young people who have very strong feelings but there is no physical chemistry… between us at all. And it wasn’t even just for me. It was him too.”

The Red Table Talk host shared that there was once a time when she asked Tupac to kiss her, just to see what would happen. “When I tell you it had to be the most disgusting thing, kiss for us both,” she admitted.

While Stern suggests the lack of sexual chemistry was due to the “platonic” nature of their relationship, Pinkett Smith offered a more philosophical explanation.

“The only way I can put it is the ‘Higher Power’ just did not want that,” the Baltimore native suggested. “I feel as though if Pac and I had any kind of sexual chemistry we might have killed each other because we were both so passionate and we loved deeply.”

In the same interview, Pinkett Smith said she didn’t feel guilty about not being on good terms with 2Pac at the time of his death, as she knew that he knew that she loved him.
