SZA Compares Drake To Regina George As “SOS” First-Week Sales Projections Surface

by

In the midst of SZA’s sophomore album, SOS, finally making its long-awaited debut, the TDE vocalist has been doing her share of press to promote her work. Among other recent interviews, she sat down with Audacity to chat about not only her music but also her love life.

As you may recall, the Ctrl hitmaker was previously name-dropped by Drake during his guest appearance on 21 Savage’s “Mr. Right Now.” The Canadian raps, “Said she wanna f*ck to some SZA, wait / ’Cuz I used to date SZA back in ’08,” on the Savage Mode II track.

During her chat with the outlet, SZA confirmed the long-standing rumours about her and Drizzy. Interestingly, she also compared the father of one to a Mean Girls character. “I feel like Drake has a Regina George quality to him,” she said.

“It’s just kind of like, ‘Have you or anyone you know been personally victimized?’ He’s like a cool kid, you know. When you’re the popular kid in school, it’s entertaining. It’s entertaining, but you sometimes are taking losses in the midst of that entertainment.”

Speaking on the lyrics about her, she specifically noted, “The honesty, I respect that. But I definitely laughed real hard… I cackled.”

Even with their past history, SZA maintains that she and Drake have “always been cool.” She told Audacity, “It’s never been weird. It’s never come completely out of the blue.”

Thankfully, the Scorpion artist had the good sense to warn her before dropping the song. She also says that any mention her ex makes of her has been positive, and no negativity comes from him.

“I’m grateful for that and I think highly of him, and I think it’s really weird that as all these years went past, I am an artist now and I wasn’t then and he’s King Drake,” she said.

Elsewhere in the news, the first-week sales projections for SOS have arrived. As HDD reports, the new album is due to sell 275 – 300K copies in its first week out.

In comparison, her first album, Ctrl, did approximately 60K upon its arrival. If the numbers are accurate, SZA’s project will be among the top 10 biggest debuts of 2022.

Larsa Pippen Dishes On Marcus Jordan & OnlyFans Feet Pics In New Interview

by

Now that she’s back on the Real Housewives of Miami, Larsa Pippen has no issue putting her public life out there for the world to see. The first episode of the show’s fifth season made its debut earlier this week on Peacock, and the mother of four was already wrapped up in the drama as the premiere came to an end.

As Page Six notes, she made allegations that fellow castmate Lisa Hochstein rents out her Star Island mansion to assist with her mortgage payment. At the time, the former basketball wife was clapping back at comments her co-star made about a property of her own.

Speaking to The Post about the situation, Pippen vented, “I would never in a million years judge a woman who’s earning her own living and working hard. I feel like it’s not fair.”

“When I was married to Scottie, my job was taking care of his life and the kids. In this chapter of my life, I’m working so hard to be an entrepreneur with all my brands,” she went on. “I want to prove to everyone that, hey, I’m not just a housewife. I wasn’t just in a marriage with a basketball player. There’s way more to me.”

While the reality TV drama is certainly interesting, many have been pressing for intimate details about Pippen’s love life. Recently, she’s been spending plenty of time with Michael Jordan’s son, Marcus.

Cameras have previously caught them kissing and cozying up on the beach. However, the 48-year-old continues to deny the existence of a serious relationship between them.

“We are friends,” she told The Post. “We’ve been friends for the last couple of years. I’m in a place right now where I’m finally open to dating. Every time I’m seen out with someone, [people] make it out to be more than it actually is, and it’s normally nothing. So, yeah, I’m just dating right now and focusing on my businesses, my family, and having fun.”

Additionally, she added, “People want to label your relationship when they don’t know what it is. But I don’t really care what other people think.”

Another topic that’s been making headlines surrounding the social media starlet is her OnlyFans account. Previously, Pippen revealed that her father asked her to stop posting on the often-salacious website. Now though, she seems to be walking those comments back.

“My dad doesn’t even know what OnlyFans is,” she clarified. “He just heard about it from someone, and he didn’t like it. It deters me from going on the app as much as I normally would have. But I love OnlyFans. It’s an amazing platform. I think it’s great that you can have a real relationship with your fans and your followers.”

Specifically, the socialite has noticed her followers love a certain type of content. “My foot pics are killing it,” she confessed. “I post a lot of photos of my feet on OnlyFans and people seem to love my feet.”

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.

NEW YORK, NEW YORK - MAY 06: Kim Kardashian West and Ye (f.k.a <a href=Kanye West) attend The 2019 Met Gala Celebrating Camp: Notes on Fashion at Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 06, 2019 in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue)” class=”wp-image-608497″ srcset=”https://editor.urbanlinx.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/GettyImages-1147427509.jpg 3409w, https://editor.urbanlinx.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/GettyImages-1147427509.jpg?resize=211,300 211w, https://editor.urbanlinx.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/GettyImages-1147427509.jpg?resize=768,1090 768w, https://editor.urbanlinx.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/GettyImages-1147427509.jpg?resize=722,1024 722w, https://editor.urbanlinx.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/GettyImages-1147427509.jpg?resize=1082,1536 1082w, https://editor.urbanlinx.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/GettyImages-1147427509.jpg?resize=1443,2048 1443w, https://editor.urbanlinx.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/12/GettyImages-1147427509.jpg?resize=1057,1500 1057w” sizes=”(max-width: 3409px) 100vw, 3409px” />

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.

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.”
