Nia Long & Ime Udoka Split After Alleged Affair: Report

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.

DaniLeigh & DaBaby’s Daughter Velour’s Cutest Moments: IG Gallery

by

27-year-old DaniLeigh’s relationship with DaBaby may not have worked out exactly as planned, but it did produce the pair’s adorable 1-year-old daughter, Velour.

In the time since the young girl’s arrival, the “BOOGEYMAN” rapper and his ex have gotten in plenty of public blowouts, one of which even resulted in a bowling alley brawl between Baby and DaniLeigh’s brother, Brandon Bill$. At this time, they appear to have a civil co-parenting arrangement, although Dani didn’t hold back on venting about her feelings about their tumultuous split when sharing her My Side EP in July.

While the 30-year-old is already a father of several other children, Velour is the Miami-born singer’s firstborn, and the pride she clearly has for her little girl shines through all the way down her Instagram feed.

We’ve scoped out DaniLeigh’s social media to find her sweetest mother-daughter moments with her little one – keep scrolling to see the heartwarming photos for yourself.

The “Cravin’” hitmaker’s fans were first introduced to her baby girl at the end of 2021. Currently, the earliest photo of Velour on her mom’s feed was shared in December and sees Dani gushing over the infant’s eyes, smirk, and face. Other uploads from the same month see the baby at her smallest, before she would go on to grow into Leigh’s mini-me.

DaniLeigh took a hiatus from posting for almost the entire first half of 2022, but when May came around, she returned to celebrate her first Mother’s Day in a very public (and adorable) way. The month saw plenty of fun in the sun for the two as well when the entertainer showed off her child’s luxurious Burberry bathing suit and snapped some selfies during golden hour.

Things got busy for the 27-year-old in June as she prepared for the release of her juicy EP, but she still found time in her busy schedule to arrange time for Velour to join her at work in Los Angeles.

She may only be one, but BabyLeigh was still able to assist her mom with her latest project, appearing in both the “Dead To Me” music video and a teaser trailer for the My Side project.

July brought plenty of celebration for DaniLeigh, but once August rolled around, it was Velour’s turn to take over the spotlight. The growing girl celebrated her first birthday on the 12th by cruising around in her own little car to match her mama’s, and when it was time for her party, she spent the day dancing and making memories with her friends and family.

As the summer came to an end, DaniLeigh headed out on the road to our her new music until mid-October. While she’s certainly having fun chasing her dreams, based on a recent IG upload, it’s clear that she’s missing her daughter now more than ever.

Fans Think Kehlani & 070 Shake Have Broken Up

by

As we enter into Fall, better known as cuffing season, some have suggested that Kehlani is now single. The songbird has been blissfully in love with girlfriend 070 Shake, and they haven’t been shy about showing their affections. Fans speculated that the two entertainers were seeing each other long before they verified their romance. Since that time, they have put their love on display, but it has recently been suggested that the couple is no more.

It’s clear that Kehlani’s dedicated fanbase keeps up with their every move, and recently, the singer raised their hand when a DJ asked if there were any newly single people in the club.

Kehlani was standing next to the DJ when they initially seemed apprehensive about putting their hand in the air. When they did so, several fans in the crowd screamed at the news.

A Twitter user shared a clip of the moment and told their followers that “we can stop playing detective” about the singer’s relationship status. Kehlani nor 070 Shake have not stated publicly that they are no longer together, but this video is enough confirmation for some.

Check out the brief clip below.

Nick Cannon is a father, once again.

On Friday (September 30), the 41-year-old announced via Instagram that he and Brittany Bell have welcomed their third child together – a boy named Rise Messiah Cannon – making the entertainer now officially a father of 10.

Though some have expressed disappointment in Nick’s decision to have so many children with an assortment of baby mamas, he continues to maintain that his current approach is what feels right to him.

When sharing the exciting news of his youngest’s arrival, Cannon wrote, “Another Blessing!!! As my journey on this planet becomes more and more remarkable and unfathomable, all I can do is thank God and continue to ask the Most High to order my steps. He has given me stewardship and dominion over a family dynamic that to some is unimaginable.”

The California native continued, “But more importantly he has blessed me with loving individuals to guide me with care through this purposeful life. I am so indebted and grateful for the matriarch energy in my time of need,” before thanking Bell for being “the rock and foundation of [his] Fatherhood journey.”

Cannon praised the mother of three for educating him “about parenting, psychology, spirituality, love, and just life in general.” He mentioned that his co-parent “didn’t want a baby shower and needed NOTHING! All she desired was PRAYER from her authentic Loved Ones!”

Although Bell was a champion throughout it all, her baby daddy revealed that her labour was far from easy, consisting of “48 hours of excruciating pain and life-risking danger” before their 10-pound bundle of joy arrived.

The pair are already parents to 5-year-old son Golden Sagon and nearly 2-year-old daughter, Powerful Queen.

by

It’s been a busy year in the baby-making department for several of our favourite recording artists, including Rihanna and A$AP Rocky, NBA YoungBoy and Jazlyn Mychelle, as well as Big Sean and Jhené Aiko.

The R&B songstress is already a mother of one from her past relationship with Omarion’s brother, O’Ryan, but for the better part of the last year, she’s been carrying around her first child with the “Mercy” rapper, who hasn’t been able to stop gushing about how eager he is for fatherhood.

As her due date nears closer and closer, Aiko has shared a “September bump dump” with her 15.1 million Instagram followers, revealing to the world just a few of the amazing outfits she and her bump have been sporting over the past few weeks.

The “Sativa” hitmaker kicked things off with a mirror selfie wearing baggy blue jeans and a white tank top, keeping things casual before she changed into a tight white dress with some glamorous makeup on the second slide.

Afterward, Big Sean made an appearance, holding his girlfriend’s budding belly in his hands while she made duck lips for the camera – the same expression later appeared in more of the uploads.

Aside from the mirror selfies and romantic couple snapshots, Aiko also posed alongside her oldest, 13-year-old Namiko Love Browner, showing how similar the two look thanks to the California native’s clearly strong genes.

Despite being almost ready to pop, Jhené has been booked and busy in recent weeks, performing a “magical” show for audiences at the Greek Theatre while 31 weeks pregnant.

In other news, Aiko’s Trip album was recently certified platinum, five years after its initial release – read more about that here, and tap back in with HNHH later for more pop culture news updates.

NBA YoungBoy Welcomes His 10th Child

by

NBA YoungBoy is celebrating fatherhood once again. Last month, the Louisiana rapper revealed that he and his fiancée Jazlyn Mychelle were expecting a bundle of joy, making it his tenth child— ninth biologically. On Wednesday (September 28), YoungBoy shared a photo of himself holding and feed his newborn baby, with the caption, “‘We got left today for a little but it’s cool’ Top #newborn.”

 The 22-year-old rapper and Jazlyn already share a daughter, Alice, who was born in 2021. The birth of the newborn comes just months after YoungBoy announced that the pair were engaged by posting a photo of Jazlyn holding her burgeoning baby bump while rocking a large diamond ring. Earlier this month, the new mom posted a video on Youtube of her growing family, revealing the news that she and the “No Smoke” rapper were expecting a baby boy. 

“Look at this little outfit, so cute,” she gushed in the video. “Can you believe I’m having a boy? I never thought I would have a boy.” Elsewhere in the video, Jazlyn and YoungBoy attempt to put a stroller together for their then unborn baby, as their one-year old daughter Alice watched on. The rapper announced the news of Jazlyn’s pregnancy on September 5 — while she was 37 weeks along — by having her and her growing bump appear in the music video for his latest single “Purge Me.”

NBA YoungBoy fans are excited for the young star to expand his brood. “Jazlyn keeps him calm,” one fan wrote. “Honestly he not as rowdy since they been together, hope it works out,” another added. The pair began dating in 2020 after YoungBoy split with Yaya Mayweather, whom he also shares a son with. In April 2022, Yaya plead guilty to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after reportedly stabbing another one of YoungBoy’s children’s mothers.
