Childish Gambino Ducks Friend Zone Rumors, But Fans Aren’t Letting Him Off The Hook

Childish Gambino is reveling in more success as of late for his Prime Video television series Mr. & Mrs. Smith. If that title sounds familiar, it is because it is. Gambino and female co-star Maya Erskine rebooted the classic comedy/action film of the same name that starred previous real-life fling, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Critics, especially on Rotten Tomatoes are enjoying Childish Gambino’s (Donald Glover’s) take on the early 2000s production. Whenever a new show or movie is out, media companies are always going to ask the main actors to do interviews and Q&A’s.

The leads sat down to ask each other some questions hosted by Buzzfeed, according to HipHopDX. One juicy inquiry that came up during Childish Gambino and Erskine’s chat was, “What is a rumor that you hate that is out that you wanna disprove right now?” The multi-talent answered vaguely, “There was a rumor I got friend-zoned by someone once. But I didn’t get friend-zoned by them. I got other zoned.” Gambino refused to reveal who the mystery woman was.

Fans Think Jhene Aiko Broke Gambino’s Heart

But, if there is one thing you can count on, it is that fans will find a way to dig up a celebrity’s past. The Twitter user above hilariously worked in some old photos of Gambino and R&B star Jhene Aiko. Of course, the songstress is back with Big Sean now. But, in the early 2010s, the Childish and Jhene spoke about each other quite a bit. The rapper and actor was in awe of Aiko saying things like, “I think she’s special. She doesn’t need anyone… She’s off in her own world.” On the other hand, she was more blunt. “We’re good friends. That’s all I’m going to say… We’re still getting to know each other.” But, both are doing good without each other in life and music.

What are your thoughts on Childish Gambino avoiding who he was possibly friend-zoned by? Do you think the fans are right with their Jhene Aiko prediction? Should they have seen things through back in the day? What is your favorite collaborative track of theirs? Are you going to check out his new show Mr. & Mrs. Smith? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below.

Slim Jxmmi Accuses Baby Mother Of Domestic Violence, Leads To Arrest

Slim Jxmmi recently ran into some relationship trouble this past January that hopefully has gotten better since, although that’s unconfirmed. Moreover, TMZ reports that law enforcement responded to a call at his Doral, Florida home on January 22 for a domestic disturbance, according to a police report of the incident. There, the Rae Sremmurd rapper told officials that the mother of his child, Kiara Danielson punched him in the face during a fiery disagreement. Apparently, it started as a spat over social media activity that had him beckoning her to leave the house. When Danielson refused, the Mississippi MC tossed her belongings out of the home, and that’s when she allegedly attacked him three times.

However, her side of the story, according to the police report, is that she tried to film Slim Jxmmi during this fight. When he reached for it, Kiara Danielson allegedly grazed his eye, and she accused him of grabbing her during the tussle. While the “Kilo” artist had a scratch on his face, his baby mama had no visible injuries. As such, police concluded that she instigated the altercation, and arrested her for domestic violence.

Apparently, this all went down just a day after they had another big fight at Kiara Danielson’s Miami apartment. For this, TMZ obtained footage of Slim Jxmmi packing his bags at her place and taking all his stuff, so something likely remained tense leading into the following day. Not only that, but this follows an incident from almost two years ago in which Danielson accused him of domestic violence, as well. Things seemingly patched up between them at least a little bit in the aftermath, and it’s sad to see patterns revert like this.

Meanwhile, there’s also the Sremm 4 Life‘s star’s ex Kee to consider, who also accused him of abuse. Over the past few years, these instances tell a pretty dark story when all put into context. But it seems like things might pick up for him after this altercation, something that everyone involved should learn from and grow past. On that note, stick around on HNHH for more news on Slim Jxmmi and Rae Sremmurd.

Chrisean Rock Dubbed A “Clown” For Calling Blueface A Changed Man

Chrisean Rock and Blueface are the couple that just will not go away. Although they have seemingly broken up and gotten back together hundreds of times, they still continue their toxic stream. Overall, they seemed pretty well done just a few months ago. Chrisean gave birth to their child and refused to let Blue into the kid’s life. However, she has renewed her love for him and even got a tattoo of his mugshot on her face. Moreover, she has been visiting him in jail, where he will likely remain until July.

Her devotion to Blueface has led to a whole lot of criticism online. Although in typical Chrisean Rock fashion, she does not seem to care. Overall, she has decided to ride with her man, and haters be damned. In fact, last night, she hopped on Instagram Live where she offered up an explanation for her love of the rapper. As she explains below, Blue is a changed man who isn’t just prison-talking her. She seems to believe things will be different this time around, and you can’t help but admire the optimism.

Chrisean Rock Still Loves Blueface

In the comments section of the Live Bitez post above, fans were not so convinced that Blueface is any different than he used to be. In fact, some went so far as to call Chrisean a clown for her naivety. “She need to watch love after lockup they all lie and tell multiple women the same thing and they all say the same thing she saying,” one person wrote. “Because he’s bored sis..What else would he be doing,” said another. Needless to say, no one is convinced that Blueface is any different than he was a month ago.

At this point, the Chrisean and Blueface saga will never end. Only time will tell whether or not any of this actually lasts. Let us know what you think of the couple, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed.

Ciara & Russell Wilson Share Adorable Clip Of How They Prep Newborn For Date Night

Ciara’s now able to go outside more following the birth of her third child with Russell Wilson, Amora, back in December of last year. However, that doesn’t mean that it’s any easier to take care of the newborn, or that the couple doesn’t have to think of their kids in every waking moment. Fortunately, though, they’ve found fun ways to show love to their family and take care of them before going on their duo adventures. Moreover, the R&B singer recently posted a video on Instagram of the two dancing to the rhythm of how the football player rocked Amora to sleep, which was just so wholesome to see.

Furthermore, this adds to the adorable content that the couple has been keeping admirers up to speed with on social media. Even though it’s a parasocial relationship at the end of the day, this is exactly what a lot of people want to brighten their days. Russell Wilson and Ciara are one of the most admired couples on the Internet, and they are individually bright stars in their own right. If nothing else, it’s at least something that music fans and sports fans can bond over that doesn’t involve an argument about Taylor Swift on NFL broadcasts.

However, it hasn’t all been peaches and cream in The Evolution hitmaker’s life in particular as of late, although most folks aware of this are on her side. Stunna Girl recently blasted her after her song “Stand Up,” which uses an unauthorized sample of Ciara’s “Goodies,” was taken down from YouTube. Of course, a lot of fans understand that, if someone doesn’t clear a sample, it’s in their right to take according action. Still, it opened up an interesting conversation around alleged double standards in sampling and the proper way to handle situations like these.

Meanwhile, we’re sure that the 38-year-old will keep stunning with her post-pregnancy glow, and that she’ll find a good balance between parenthood and free time. After all, as a superstar, that balance is key to staying grounded and responsible in both aspects. Whatever happens, and whatever they decide to share, we’re here for it. With that in mind, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Ciara and Russell Wilson.

Halle Bailey Glows In Pre-Grammy Gala Gown, DDG Sings Along To “Angel”

It’s been a busy few months for Halle Bailey and her partner DDG, with the couple just announcing the arrival of their first child last month. The exciting news followed months of pregnancy rumors, and baby Halo has been welcomed with mostly open arms. While some fans still feel slighted by the Little Mermaid star’s secret pregnancy, they can generally agree that keeping the little one under wraps was best for her and her growing child.

Aside from introducing a new addition to her family, Bailey appeared in various major films in 2023, and kicked off her solo music career. She unveiled her eagerly anticipated debut single “Angel” in August, and it quickly became a fan favorite. It even put her in the running for Best R&B Song at the Grammys. Other nominees include SZA, Coco Jones, Victoria Monet, and Robert Glasper.

Quavo & Lana Del Rey Sighting Sparks Relationship Rumors

Quavo and Lana Del Rey were spotted out in Los Angeles this week, sparking rumors of a potential relationship. The pair were spotted walking together and were later seen laughing in the back of a chauffeured vehicle. Could this be the next big musical power couple? It’s unclear how the couple met but safe to say, people are confused by the pairing.

“This wasn’t on my 2024 bingo card!” one X user wrote. “This is so random…watch them get married and have five kids,” added another. The link-up also led people to contemplate how it might affect their onward musical projects. “She gonna make a song about BBC and summer time sadness,” theorized one user. However, others were surprised it had taken her this long to date a Black man. “Honestly I always wondered why never [she] dated a black guy she always seem to be one of those white girls that do,” said someone else. However, rumors did once persist about Del Rey and A$AP Rocky after he starred in her “National Anthem” video.

Quavo Surprises Fans With Fashion Week Concert

Del Rey is from New York City, where Quavo surprised fans during fashion week last year. The former Migos rapper drew a massive crowd in the center of New York City as the former Migos rapper pulled up for an impromptu concert. The Atlanta rapper is in the Big Apple for New York Fashion Week but decided to make some headlines away from the runways. In a clip uploaded to social media, Quavo could be heard performing “Hotel Lobby” to the assembled crowd. Furthermore, the concert appears to come courtesy of SideTalk NYC, the viral “one-minute street interview” show.

Fans were overjoyed by the surprise concert. Additionally, many were surprised (and excited) to see that True Religion, Quavo’s fashion line, may be making a return. “If you stopped wearing Tru because rappers did you corny 😂😂😂,” one person said. “Damn… true religion back??? I just roasted a Walmart worker for ….. nvm… Go crazy,” added another. However, some people pointed out the double standard that Quavo could do this and be fine but Kai Cenat was arrested for “the same thing”. On this note – the Quavo concert was probably planned, while the Cenat giveaway was not. Meanwhile, people were not fully rioting at Quavo’s concert.

Nelly Hilariously Thirsts Over Ashanti’s Thighs Amid Pregnancy Rumors

It goes without saying that Nelly and Ashanti continue to be “couple goals,” particularly after confirming their reunion in September of last year. Since then, the pair has freely flaunted their love for the world to see, and fans can’t blame them. They’ve surprised one another with extravagant gifts, over-the-top parties, and more, but followers suspect they could have something even more exciting in their future.

Late last year, Us reported that the couple was expecting their first child together, claiming that a source close to them shared the news. Neither of the two performers has confirmed this, but supporters are thrilled nonetheless. As of late, Ashanti’s been stunning in oversized outfits, leading fans to speculate that she’s hiding a growing bump.

Ashanti’s “Thighs Be Thigh’in”

This weekend, for example, she and Nelly performed in Miami for the 10th anniversary of E11EVEN, blessing fans with hits like “Body On Me” and more. Ashanti rocked a bright pink, loosely fitting Balenciaga t-shirt, which she paired with some high-heeled boots and sunglasses. Of course, despite the fit being less curve-hugging than usual, she managed to turn heads. One person in particular was a huge fan of the sporty look, Nelly. In a new clip, the pair are seen in a car on the evening of their Miami show, and the Houston native simply can’t keep his hands to himself. “Do you see these motherf*ckers?” he asks, gesturing to Ashanti’s thighs. “Them thighs be thigh’in.”

While fans continue to wait for more details of Ashanti’s rumored pregnancy, there’s certainly been no shortage of sweet moments between her and her man to keep them entertained.

Jason Kelce Defends NFL Media’s Coverage Of Taylor Swift: “She’s A World Star”

Jason Kelce says he has no issue with the NFL media’s coverage of Taylor Swift. He discussed his brother Travis’ relationship with Swift with Caleb Noe, a reporter for Cincinnati ABC affiliate WCPO 9, in a recent interview.

“The attention is there because the audience wants to see it,” Jason said. “I mean, if people didn’t want to see it, they wouldn’t be showing it. I know that. She’s a world star. She’s the quintessential artist right now in the world, singer-songwriter, immensely talented, unbelievable role model for young women across the globe. So I think that the NFL would probably be foolish not to, you know, show her and be a role model for all the young girls out there.”

Kanye West & Bianca Censori Show Off Their Phone Backgrounds

Kanye West and Bianca Censori have shown off their respective phone backgrounds in a post on West’s Instagram story. West’s is a picture of Censori in a black leather bikini. Meanwhile, Censori’s background is a picture of Jason Vorhees, or at least someone dressed as Jason Vorhees. What do you think of their phone backgrounds? Let us know in the comments.

It’s a fairly wholesome departure from the typical content that West has posted on his account. Fans have continued to express their concern and confusion over West and his continued posting of Bianca Censori. One recent post showed Censori in a skimpy, back-laced outfit and a gimp mask in the kitchen. West captioned the image “cream of wheat”. He went on to post several other images of Censori in the same outfit around a sparsely furnished apartment. Many of the photos have invoked the previously raised concerns that Censori is a “radicalized Kim Kardashian.

Kanye West Files Bianca Censori-Inspired Trademark

@kanyewest on Instagram

Meanwhile, West is once again expanding his business ventures. Last week, he filed a trademark for the phrase “I MISS YOU WHEN I WAKE UP BEFORE YOU”. The phrase was seemingly inspired by a post on Instagram that West made last week. It served as the caption for a photo of Censori smiling as she relaxed on a couch. It’s unclear what West intends to do with the trademark at this time.

It comes a week after West wished his wife a happy birthday. “Happy birthday to the most beautiful super bad iconic muse. Inspirational talented artist masters degree in architecture 140 IQ loving by my side everyday when half the world turned their backs on me. And the most amazing step mom to our children I love you so much thank you for sharing your life with me,” West wrote alongside a close-up photo of Censori’s face. However, most responses to the post were fans mocking West about the often-delayed Vultures album, which is now expected on January 19.

Ashanti & Nelly Fuel Pregnancy Rumors With Miami Performance

At the end of last year, Us reported that Nelly and Ashanti were expecting their first child together, claiming that a source close to the pair shared the exciting news. Neither of them have confirmed these reports, though Ashanti did put her hand over her stomach during a performance in December, seemingly indicating a growing bump. Nelly did the same before the couple broke out into laughter, leaving fans to speculate.

Since then, Ashanti has been stepping out in some stunning, yet uncharacteristically oversized fits. Recently, for example, she performed with Ja Rule in a loosely fitting t-shirt. Now, she’s been spotted once again at an event wearing a look that would conveniently obscure any signs that a little one is on the way.

Nelly & Ashanti Get Wild In Miami

The event in question was hosted in Miami yesterday (February 2), in honor of the 10th anniversary of E11EVEN. The lovebirds graced the stage, performing hits like “Body On Me,” and more. Ashanti rocked a bright pink oversized Balenciaga t-shirt, which she complimented with a pair of similarly vivid boots and some shades. At one point in the evening, Fat Joe even joined Ashanti for a performance of “What’s Luv?” He takes credit for the artists’ reunion, telling fans on Instagram Live last month that it wouldn’t have happened if it weren’t for him.

“I immediately tell them I need 10 percent of this kid because if it wasn’t for Verzuz, that I brought Nelly out [during] me against Ja Rule, that’s when they saw each other and energy connected again,” he explained. “That’s when he said I gotta have her. He was over there contemplating; he really wanted to go over there.” What do you think of rumors that Nelly and Ashanti are expecting their first child together? Do you think her loosely fitting top proves anything, or are fans overthinking it? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
