Chance the Rapper and Kirsten Corley tied the knot on March 9, 2019. Though they make a beautiful couple, their union has been called into question on more than one occasion. In late 2022, the couple was in the headlines as social media sleuths uncovered an NSFW video involving a transgender person in the “Cocoa Butter Kisses” hitmaker’s likes. Corley clapped back at trolls in wake of that drama, and around the same time the recording artist confirmed that he had to put in serious work to keep his marriage strong during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite all the praise the Rapper has given his other half in his music through the years, his actions in real-time have sometimes suggested he still likes to be free and have fun. While at Carnival in 2023, a video of the 30-year-old being twerked on by a bodacious woman while his wife was nowhere to be seen went viral. This caused tensions to rise between them, and people began speculating that trouble was afoot in paradise. It seems they might’ve been right, as Corley confirmed her split from Chance on Wednesday (April 3) via Instagram.

“After a period of separation, the two of us have arrived at a decision to part ways,” the mother of two wrote. “We came to this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together. God has blessed us with two beautiful daughters who we will continue to raise together. We kindly ask for privacy and respect as we navigate this transition. Thank you,” Corley’s statement concluded.
It seems Chance the Rapper’s life is all about change lately, and the themes are even coming through in his music. In a snippet shared online last month, the 30-year-old speaks about Americans starting a revolution rather than voting in the upcoming election. Read all about that at the link below, and let us know if you’re surprised about Kirsten Corley’s divorce announcement in the comments.
Kehlani stands out in the music industry not only for their undeniable talent but also for their candid approach to life and love. With their soulful voice and introspective lyrics, she has secured the love of fans worldwide. Yet, it is not just Kehlani’s music that keeps people talking. It’s also their intriguing dating history that has been the subject of much attention and fascination. From public romances to private affairs, Kehlani’s romances have been notably popular.
Previously, Kehlani has been in relationships with individuals of various genders, identifying as queer and pansexual. However, in a now-deleted TikTok video she posted in 2021, she openly acknowledged the realization that she identifies as a lesbian. “I’m just gonna fucking say it because everyone keeps bringing it up to me,” she started. “They’re like, ‘Kehlani, what’s new?’ I’m like, ‘I finally know I’m a lesbian.’ Well, it’s fucking true. I am gay, gay, gay, gay, gay.” So from PartyNextDoor to Kiara Russell, let’s take a closer look at all of Kehlani’s romances.
PartyNextDoor (2013-2016)

Kehlani’s romances have often played out in the public eye. Among their early relationships was the one with fellow singer-songwriter, PartyNextDoor. The two were first linked in 2013 but chose to keep things under wraps. The couple’s relationship was short-lived however, as they reportedly broke up in 2015 before the R&B singer began dating Kyrie Irving.
In March 2016, PartyNextDoor infamously posted an Instagram photo that seemingly showed him and Kehlani interlocking hands. He captioned it: “After all her shenanigans, still got the r&b singer back in my bed.” While it was unknown when the photos were taken, the post ignited rumors that Kehlani was cheating on Irving, and she soon became embroiled in rumors of infidelity. Fortunately, she emerged stronger and more resilient.

Following their relationship with PartyNextDoor, Kehlani found love with NBA star Kyrie Irving. In February 2016, Kehlani revealed to ILY Magazine that they had been friends for some time before their relationship turned romantic. “I think this is the first time that I’ve ever been able to really be myself at all times,” she said. “In the sense of being incredibly goofy with someone and being based on a best friendship.” This relationship was short-lived as well. Irving also emphasized just a month later that he was not dating Kehlani at the time of PartyNextDoor’s post.

Despite the setbacks she faced in past romances, Kehlani remained open to the possibility of finding love again. This time, she found companionship with the talented painter and tattoo artist, Shaina Negrón. The relationship, though mostly private, occasionally emerged into the public eye, notably through Instagram Live and joint appearances at award shows. It is even rumored that Negrón served as the muse behind Kehlani’s “Honey.” While the details about their breakup are vague, Kehlani revealed during a 2018 interview on Nicki Minaj’s podcast, Queen Radio, that they are still friends. “We’ve been just friends since then,” she said. “That relationship actually wasn’t very long, but me and her are super cool now.”

Alongside Kehlani’s pregnancy announcement came news about the romance she shares with guitarist Javaughn Young-White, whom she collaborates with often. During a Queen Radio appearance, when questioned about the father of their child, she provided some context on why Young-White was the perfect partner. “When I found out that I can get a break from touring because I’ve been primarily a touring artist, that’s when I planned for it for this time,” she said.
“It was planned so we had a short time frame of having to actually have sex every day. And we were excited that it didn’t start feeling like a chore,” she continued. “I started dating women before I ever dated men. Then, I was lucky to find a partner who was a bisexual male. And he really understands my queerness and my fluidity, and I really understand his. It’s very awesome to be understood.” Despite their breakup, she revealed to British Vogue in 2020 that she and Young-White maintain a close friendship and continue to co-parent.

Kehlani and YG’s brief relationship was one of the more memorable romances in both artists’ dating history. Their memorable hand-in-hand entrance at a September 2019 New York Fashion Week show significantly made headlines. However, their whirlwind romance was marked by several breakups. Their final split occurred on Valentine’s Day in 2020, coinciding with the release of their joint track, “Konclusions.” In response, she released “Valentine’s Day (Shameful),” which delved into the pain of discovering infidelity after checking YG’s phone. During a May 2020 appearance on The Breakfast Club, she described the song as literal, capturing the breakup “word for word.”

One of Kehlani’s hidden romances was with none other than Victoria Monét. There had been speculation about the two women dating for years, but not until 2023 did Monét confirm that they were an item in 2020. During her appearance on Emily Ratajkowski’s podcast High Low, Victoria Monet recounted an anecdote concerning her boyfriend, John Gaines’ lack of jealousy. She stated: “While pregnant, I did a ‘Touch Me’ remix with Kehlani, and the song is about her. We went in the studio, [and] there was no jealousy.” Monét also said that although things between Kehlani and her had ended, they were still friends.
070 Shake (2021-2022)

Rumors about Kehlani’s relationship with 070 Shake began when they were seen getting cozy with each other. The relationship was subsequently confirmed in May 2021. The pair had been friends for six years and took the leap to becoming partners. However, the couple eventually broke up in 2022. Breakup rumors began when fans noticed that they had unfollowed each other on social media and had deleted all their shared photos. To add fuel to the fire and confirm the breakup, the singer posted on Instagram, “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.”
Speculation suggests that Kehlani and Kiara Russell’s relationship began shortly after the singer’s breakup with 070 Shake. In late 2022, Kehlani introduced their new partner, basketball star Kiara Russell, to the public through a now-deleted TikTok video, showcasing intimate kisses. Confirmation followed as Russell shared a collection of photos on Instagram titled “love n happiness dump,” which featured a moment of her and Kehlani eating together. They’ve been a couple since then.
Ye and Bianca Censori have certainly been making waves over the past few months. Overall, the couple is now married, and they have been spending all of their time together. In fact, Censori has caused quite a stir thanks to her bizarre yet revealing outfits. There are many out there who have expressed just how uncomfortable they are with the outfits. However, Censori continues to wear them, and Ye continues to hang out with his wife, whom he very clearly loves a lot. Regardless of what people may think, Ye continues to do as he pleases.
Over the weekend, he and Censori got to celebrate Easter with one another. According to TMZ, they even got to spend some time with some of Ye’s kids. The children in question were Saint, Chicago, and Psalm. They were in Westwood together and ultimately decided to go to a movie theater. However, some people are questioning what happened after the movie day. In a video that we cannot share on HotNewHipHop due to copyright reasons, Ye and Censori can be seen leaving the theater and getting into an SUV. Prior to that, his three kids exited the theater and got into a different car.

Some were curious as to why this was the case, especially since his kids were a bit confused. However, they were with a chaperone, and it is pretty clear that Ye signed off on this. It remains to be seen whether or not Ye and his kids subsequently went to the same place together. Whatever the case may be, it seems like the kids are taking a liking to Censori, who continues to be a part of their lives.

Jerrod Carmichael revealed that Tyler, The Creator called him a “stupid b*tch” after the comedian admitted he had feeling for him. During the premiere of The Jerrod Carmichael Reality Show, he discussed having a crush on his “best friend” before the two sat down for a candid conversation about the situation.
“I fell in love with my best friend. 1 out of 10, don’t recommend,” Carmichael admitted during a stand-up portion of the show. “I knew I had to tell him. Things started getting kind of weird between us. I had these feelings… So I texted him. I remember saying, ‘I know you didn’t ask for this, but somewhere down the line I developed feelings for you and I don’t know what to do with that.’ Then I immediately turned my phone off and went into therapy.” From there, he recalled: “He sent me a voice note. I was so nervous. It was like six seconds… He said, ‘Hahahaha, you stupid bitch.’ And I don’t really know what that means.”

Afterward, Carmichael invited Tyler to be his date for the Emmys, but he shot him down. Eventually, Carmichael brought Tyler in for a candid interview to hash things out. “It’s because I told you I had feelings for you, and we didn’t talk about it, ever,” Carmichael said. “That was, like, weird. I don’t know if it was just too awkward to talk about or just too… I don’t know. I feel like you left me hanging out there a little bit.” Tyler responded: “I did,” while laughing. “Yeah. I did. And I think I just, like, brushed it off. Getting news like that and then avoiding it is a way to avoid change.” He added that he views Carmichael as a “brother.”

Over the weekend, Chloe Bailey joined Offset onstage in LA for a special performance of their Set It Off collab, “Princess Cut.” While most can agree that the duo kept things professional, others thought Bailey’s steamy dance moves caught the former Migos member’s eye. This raised some questions about how Offset’s ex Cardi B felt about the show. It also led many to wonder where Bailey stands with Gunna, who also performed.
Bailey and Gunna have been associated for years. They’ve continuously shot down dating rumors, despite being spotted holding hands in public, thirsting over each other publicly, and more. After he and Offset performed “Prada Dem” during the LA show, it looks like he linked up with Bailey, based on her latest Instagram post.
Her post includes various photos and clips from the evening, including her infamous moment with Offset and a sweet shot of her and Gunna. Of course, the photo has led some fans to believe the duo is more than friends, and they’re sounding off in her comments section. “Waittttt you and gunna,” one user writes. “You and Gunna look so goooood together,” another says. Neither Bailey nor Gunna have commented on the chatter publicly. In the past, the songstress has described him as a “dear friend” of hers.
She also admitted that her 2022 single “For The Night” was written about the YSL rapper. According to her, she penned it shortly after Gunna’s appearance on The Breakfast Club. During his interview, he admitted that he wasn’t looking to be tied down. What do you think of rumors that Chloe Bailey and Gunna are an item? Does the new photo of them mean anything, or are social media users just reaching? Do you think they’d make a good pair or not?

Bianca Censori is certainly not a stranger to turning heads with her scandalous fashion statements, and a recent lunch date with her husband Ye was no exception. Over the weekend, the couple was spotted at what’s become one of their go-to restaurants, the Cheesecake Factory at The Grove in L.A. While Ye opted to rock a comfy pair of sweats and a hoodie, the Australian model took things up a notch with a sheer white unitard, leaving little to the imagination.
She completed the eye-catching look with a simple pair of white heels, an understated makeup look, and a sleek updo. This isn’t the first time Censori left patrons at the Cheesecake Factory in awe, however. Earlier this month, she and her man hit up the hotspot again before it even opened. They waited outside patiently until the staff allowed them in. Luckily, Ye was able to pull a few strings, and they got in about ten minutes before opening time.
Bianca Censori & Ye Hit Up Cheesecake Factory Again

As expected, Ye went for his signature baggy black fit. Censori, on the other hand, stunned in a nude see-through bodysuit and a pair of tiny matching shorts. She again complimented the minimal look with a chic updo and heels. It remains unclear exactly what it is about the Cheesecake Factory that has the high-profile pair so invested, but it’s safe to say there are more lunch dates in their future.

For the first time in her life, Halle Bailey is celebrating her birthday as a mother, and she’s making it look totally effortless. On Thursday (March 28), the Atlanta-born entertainer posted a photo dump on Instagram revealing how she spent her big day with her beau, DDG, and their baby boy, Halo. It’s unclear exactly where Bailey and her family are soaking up so much sunshine, but the smiles on their faces prove their making unforgettable memories there.
“This is 24 ,” the birthday girl wrote in her caption, selecting a mud-covered picture of her and her infant to begin. Though we can see his full head of hair, Halo’s face remains a mystery as his parents protect his privacy. For someone who only gave birth a few months ago, Bailey’s body looks banging in her purple bikini, and she appears more confident than ever before. “My Halle and Halo ,” the “Angel” singer’s big sister, Chloe, wrote in the comments.
On the third slide, we get a glimpse of DDG’s back, which has “Halo’s Daddy” written on it in mud. Speaking of the Michigan native, he made sure to keep Bailey looking fresh with a luxurious new gift – a Rolex watch – on her big day.
Oddly enough, it was only a year ago when social media sleuths were speculating about a breakup between Halle Bailey and DDG. Not long before The Little Mermaid premiere, gossip about him and Rubi Rose rekindling their old flame lit up the internet, but obviously there wasn’t much truth to that. Do you think Halo’s parents are in an end game relationship? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
Earlier this week, Offset brought out various special guests at his performance in Los Angeles. Gunna joined the hitmaker onstage for “Prada Dem,” for one, which fans mostly seemed to enjoy. He also brought out Chloe Bailey for a performance of their Set It Off collaboration, “Princess Cut.” Unfortunately, this is where the controversy begins.
In a clip from the show making its rounds online, Chloe is seen approaching Offset, who’s sitting on a nearby staircase. She then grabs a hold of his shoulder before showing off some seductive dance moves, eventually sitting down and leaning back onto him. Offset kept his hands to himself throughout the clip, but either way, it has fans up in arms.
Some users think the duo got a bit too close for comfort, and are sounding off in The Neighborhood Talk‘s comments section. “Cardi somewhere cursing in Spanish,” one user writes. “Somebody tag me when cardi go live in case i fall asleep,” someone else jokes. Others are coming to their defense, noting that Chloe was simply doing her job. “Chloe was respectful. She’s at work and respected boundaries,” a fan writes. “It’s called professionalism,” another argues.
Of course, most of the criticism is coming from those rooting for Offset’s relationship with Cardi B, which ended months ago. Several note, however, that Cardi hasn’t been holding back during her own shows. “Cardi B was literally humping on Megan Thee Stallion during their performance, because they are entertaining, it’s no different than acting,” one fan insists. What do you think of Offset bringing Chloe Bailey out during his recent performance in LA? Do you think they got too close for comfort, or are social media users reaching? Do you think Cardi B will react? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
Earlier this week, Moneybagg Yo unveiled a nearly NSFW music video for his new track “Bussin” with Rob49. Ari Fletcher, Moneybagg Yo’s girlfriend, stars in the racy video, showing off her twerking skills in a string bikini. So far, listeners are enjoying the track and its accompanying visual, but Fletcher took to Twitter/X today to share her own thoughts.
“I’m so f*cking single!” she wrote, later responding to a fan with, “F*ck that song and that video.” Of course, this left followers confused, as she and Moneybagg appeared to be doing more than okay in the video. Countless commenters told her that they didn’t believe the announcement, which appeared to be written in anger or annoyance. Moneybagg Yo even responded to the Tweet with several laughing emojis, telling her “never.”
He later took to his Instagram Story to show her some love, posting a sweet photo of the two of them together. “I Got Da Utmost respect for u,” he began. “We be in our own world not da one they live in ! We just be enjoying & having fun wit da sh*t Teamwork make dream work ! So for Anybody got some to say or against it Stfu & keep running us up !!” While it remains unclear what prompted Ari to announce that she’s “single,” it looks like Moneybagg Yo is still completely invested.
After all, it was only a few months ago that she claimed the two of them had already been married since 2021, despite her hesitation surrounding the union. What do you think of Ari Fletcher announcing that she’s now single on Twitter/X? Do you think she really meant it or just wrote the Tweet out of anger? What about Moneybagg Yo’s response?

Rumors that Ashanti and Nelly are expecting their first child together have been running rampant for months. The duo first teased the news with a subtle gesture towards the songstress’s stomach, and now, speculation is in full swing. While neither of the two artists have confirmed the alleged pregnancy, Ashanti’s mother seemingly hinted that it’s a sure thing during an interview earlier this month. The “Happy” singer has also traded her iconic figure-hugging fits for oversized t-shirts as of late, only furthering fans’ suspicions.
While supporters continue to search for signs of pregnancy, the pair has remained unbothered, seemingly opting to keep that part of their personal lives private. They do continue to show one another off online, however, reminding their followers that they’re a match made in heaven. Earlier this month, for example, Ashanti dropped off an adorable carousel of photos and clips from her and Nelly’s Valentine’s Day and Super Bowl adventures on Instagram.
Now, she’s shared yet another sweet series of clips, this time of a fun karaoke night they seemingly hosted recently. In the clips, Ashanti and Nelly are seen hilariously singing and dancing with friends, appearing to have a blast. Nelly even attempted a pretty tough high note, and Ashanti couldn’t help but clown him for it. “Please hear his note in the 2nd slide,” she captioned the post. “I. AM. CRYINNNNNNGGGGGGG.”
While it remains unclear whether or not fans will get answers on Ashanti’s rumored pregnancy any time soon, one thing remains apparent, the pair is here to stay. What do you think of Ashanti and Nelly’s recent karaoke night? What about Ashanti clowning Nelly for his attempt at a high note? Do you believe rumors that the lovebirds are expecting?
