Kylie Jenner & Timothée Chalamet Relationship Confirmed, Sources Call It “Casual, New, And Exciting”

by

When they first got together in 2017, Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott quickly became one of the internet’s favourite couples. Their various photos together were already on countless fan vision boards before they welcomed Stormi Webster, and now, they also share a son, Aire. Their relationship has seen plenty of ups and downs over the years. This January, they announced once again that they were calling things off in favour of a co-parenting situation.

Scott has mostly been focused on his music in the time since. He even performed at this past weekend’s Rolling Loud Thailand, much to hip-hop heads’ pleasure. During his headlining set on the festival’s final night, the Houston native brought out Offset to play an unreleased collaboration. As for Jenner, she’s been making money moves thanks to her various brands, as well as living the glamorous life of a socialite. She began her year sitting front row at various presentations during Paris Fashion Week and has since been spotted at events like the Vanity Fair Oscars After Party and Coachella.

DeuxMoi reported recently that the mother of two was expected to potentially debut her new man at Coachella. For the past few weeks, Jenner’s name has been linked to Beautiful Boy actor Timothée Chalamet. She’s allegedly been spending time with him for the past few months. The rumours sounded too bizarre for many to believe at first. However, photo evidence of their taco truck linkup has since been making rounds online. Apart from the telling images, Entertainment Tonight also shared on Monday (April 17) that their source can confirm Kylie Jenner and the 27-year-old are dating, but “keeping things casual at this point.”

The insider went on to note, “It’s not serious, but [she’s] enjoying hanging out with Timothée and seeing where it goes.” They also mentioned that the reality star is specifically enjoying how different things with Chalamet feel compared to her past relationships. “It’s new and exciting for Kylie and she’s having a lot of fun.” As for why they didn’t go public, the model apparently “just wanted to chill and have fun with her friends.” For any wondering how the new lovers linked up, it reportedly had something to do with older sister Kendall Jenner, who’s friends with the Dune star. Do you think KJ upgraded from Travis Scott? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news.

Biggie Smalls Nearly Ran Over Concert Promoter With A Bus: Report

by

Even though Biggie Smalls died 26 years ago, stories of his character and exploits are still the stuff of legend. Moreover, fans now have new testimonies about an alleged incident during which The Notorious B.I.G. apparently almost ran a concert promoter over with his tour bus. However, it’s unclear and unconfirmed whether it was actually Big in the vehicle when it sped off, but all signs point to yes. Furthermore, the news comes from former Rap-A-Lot artist and 5th Ward Juvenilez member Mr. Slimm. He revealed to the Murder Master Music Show some of the antics at a Baton Rouge show involving Biggie, Big Mike, Too $hort, and other performers.

“Biggie was outside, this is the funniest thing I tell people about Big and them,” Slimm began. “Big and them used to burn off on promoters a lot. This is what happened in Baton Rouge one time. Big and them was getting ready to go on stage. I think Short had just finished his set or whatever.

Biggie Smalls Almost Hit And Ran

“As we waiting for them to come through the dressing room all of a sudden the promoter run in screaming hysterically, ‘They just tried to run me over!’” he continued. “He said he went and gave them the rest of the money — you know, you get your back end when you show up at the show. And he said when he gave them that and stepped off the bus he heard the brakes release so he goes to stand in front of the bus and they hit that gas. He had to jump out of the way.”

“That happened, I can’t remember how many shows, but it was more than one,” Slimm concluded. “They was just burning off bro to the next city. They were doing it, it’s alotta artists that was doing it back in the day,” he claimed. “It had me wondering if Big was on the bus. But I did see Lil Kim, I seen Junior M.A.F.I.A. so Big had to be on the bus.” Maybe it was all a big misunderstanding, but it adds to the Brooklyn legend’s mystique and larger-than-life perception. Regardless, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Biggie Smalls and his legacy.

Lil Kim Settles Tax Debt

by

Lil Kim reportedly (and finally) settled her longtime disagreements with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) over tax debt. According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline, Kimberly Denise Jones agreed to a $1.4 million settlement with the federal tax agency. However, its exact details remain unspecified, as is the date on which she discharged the tax debt in question. Furthermore, some of this discharge dated back all the way to 2003, and this settlement means that the federal government can no longer seize her assets to satisfy the debt. The largest debt she owed was reportedly in 2008, where she had to cough up around $400,000.

While it’s been a long history of arguments and payments for Lil Kim, that didn’t stop her from performing and continuing to inspire others. In fact, as of late, many female rappers shouted her out as an influence, which is unsurprising considering her long reign as one of rap’s queens. For example, Ice Spice recently named “The Jump Off” MC as one of her biggest inspirations along with Nicki Minaj. When it comes to her artistry, that speaks louder than any settlement agreement.

Another female superstar to praise the 48-year-old for paving the way was Megan Thee Stallion. “My mom was a rapper, right?,” the Stallion expressed on RapCaviar Presents. “She was a female rapper, but I had never heard of women being rappers ever because my mom was listening to UGK, Three 6 Mafia. My daddy [listened to] Lil Wayne, like, we only listening to men in the house. But one day, my mom put on Lil Kim. Damn! She raps harder than a lot of these guys!”

Not only that, but Lil Kim often shows these artists the same amount of love, as she did recently to Cardi B. “Cardi is like the love of my life,” Kim expressed in an interview. “You don’t even know. Like, she makes me laugh… we talk a lot. People have no idea. But she’s my little sister but she’s really my big little sister. Believe it or not, she directs me on a lot of things like ‘No, this is what I want you to do’…and I’ll be like ‘Ok that makes sense’. We just laugh a lot too.” For more updates and news on Lil Kim and her impact, stick around on HNHH.

Adam Sandler & The Safdie Brothers Tap Megan Thee Stallion For Upcoming Movie: Report

by

As the fourth anniversary of the Safdie Brothers’ Uncut Gems approaches, film fanatics are raving over an exciting tidbit of gossip from within the industry. After tapping The Weeknd to play himself in their Adam Sandler-led thriller, the creatives may be working with yet another recording artist in their upcoming project – Megan Thee Stallion. According to Deadline, the Houston-born rap diva may be joining the cast, alongside the Grown Ups star, who many are eager to see work with the Safdies once again.

Many of the project’s details remain under wraps at this time, though we do know it’s been produced for Netflix and will take place “in the world of sports memorabilia.” Safdie siblings Josh and Benny wrote the screenplay, which has incredibly high expectations following the sweeping (albeit snubbed) sensation that was Uncut Gems. While Thee Stallion is best known for her tantalizing twerking and braggadocious bars, this rumoured upcoming role certainly won’t be her first venture into acting.

Megan Thee Stallion’s Acting Resume Continues to Grow

In the world of television, she’s previously appeared in Disney+’s She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, as well as the STARZ stripper drama, P-Valley. In addition to that, we’ve also seen Thee Stallion alongside industry veterans like Christina Hendricks and Matthew Lillard in NBC’s Good Girls. As far as films go, the world is anxiously awaiting the “Hot Girl Summer” hitmaker’s theatrical debut in A24’s upcoming musical comedy, F*cking Identical Twins. Other famous faces in the cast include Nathan Lane, Bowen Yang, and Megan Mullaly.

In other news, now that she’s officially back outside following a hiatus after Tory Lanez’s trial, Megan Thee Stallion is preparing for her first performance of the year on Friday (March 31). The concert will mark her first time taking to the stage in Houston in several years, and 1501’s Carl Crawford sent out a surprisingly warm welcome letter ahead of her concert. Read what the label head had to say here, and let us know if you’re excited about the Safdie brother’s upcoming movie in the comments.

Young Thug’s Sister Angela Grier Passes Away: Report

by

According to some Instagram posts from members of Young Thug’s family, his older sister Angela Grier tragically passed away recently. Moreover, initial reports based themselves on Thug’s sister Dolly White’s Instagram page, where she reposted a picture of Grier previously shared by Lil Keed’s mother. Furthermore, White captioned her picture with multiple heart-broken emojis and a crying face, and also shared some tender clips to her Instagram story. For example, she included a video of people lifting balloons into the air in honor of her. As of writing this article, details concerning her untimely loss are scarce and mostly unknown.

While Grier hasn’t been as frequent in the headlines as some of the YSL rapper’s other family members, she was one of many who continued to support and look out for him throughout his career and especially now during his legal woes. Such news is even harder to stomach considering the “Best Friend” MC is currently behind bars. According to many reports online, Grier had just visited Thugger in jail. While his family said that he’s keeping his head up amid the process, this must be a tough and difficult time for them all.

RIP Young Thug’s Sister Angela Grier

Still, her memory will live on through her loved ones as they continue to display unity and a determination to look positively towards the future. Recently, Dolly White gave fans an update on Young Thug’s outlook, sharing a picture of him flexing his prison gains via a video call. Even though these updates aren’t as consequential as ones from court, they uplift fans and give them another side to view the case from. There’s not just an accused gang leader on trial with other codefendants, but also a friend, loved one, brother, father, and positive soul. Many videos emerged of Thug looking defeated in court, but just as many spread of his positive attitude through it all in the trial room.

Meanwhile, his true culpability and accountability for accused crimes remains to be seen. However, the family maintains that he will return home soon, and have consistently advocated for justice in this case. Hopefully, Thugger can see his family soon and they can all heal following this tragic loss. For more updates on Young Thug and his trial, stick around on HNHH.
Rest In Peace Angela Grier.

Chris Rock & Jada Pinkett Smith: Insiders Say Comedian Has Been “Obsessed” With Actress For Nearly 30 Years

by

The one-year anniversary of “Slapgate” is quickly approaching, and Chris Rock is finally speaking out about the incident. In his new Netflix comedy special, the South Carolina native doesn’t hold back while recalling last year’s Oscar Awards, where he was promptly slapped across the face by Will Smith after making a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s bald head. The Gemini Man actor faced severe consequences as a result of his violent outburst, though he seems to be making his way back into the public’s good graces as of late.

Rock, however, is receiving mixed reviews for some of the comments made during his new stand-up show. His rant about Meghan Markle calling the Royal Family “racist” has earned the 57-year-old backlash for “punching down on Black women,” not to mention the things he had to say about Pinkett Smith and her husband. “Years ago, his wife said I should quit the Oscars. I shouldn’t host ’cause her man didn’t get nominated for Concussion. And then he gives me a f*cking concussion,” he joked at one point.

Chris Rock’s Comedy Special Addresses “The Slap”

Elsewhere in the lengthy Netflix project, Rock claims that Pinkett Smith is actually to blame for starting their beef. “I did some jokes about her. Who gives a f*ck? That’s how it is: She starts it, I finish it,” he told the crowd in Baltimore. “That’s what the f*ck happened. Nobody’s pickin’ on this bitch. She started this shit. Nobody was pickin’ on her.” While the father of two had the opportunity to tell his side of the story, insiders have dished to PEOPLE about what the Red Table Talk host is thinking.

“She never asked Chris to not host the Oscars ever. She publicly said in a Facebook post at the time Chris would be a great Oscars host and is perfect for the job,” they explained to the outlet. Additionally, sources expressed shock at how many times Rock described Pinkett Smith using the word “bitch.” Rather than playing into the drama online, however, the mother of two is “focused on her book that will come out this year.”

Comedian is “Obsessed” with Jada Pinkett Smith, Sources Say

Apparently, Chris Rock’s targeting of Pinkett Smith is nothing new. “[He] is obsessed with her and that’s been going on for almost 30 years,” insiders claim. “Look where he chose to film his Netflix special. Her hometown. Obsessed. Jada has had no part in this other than being heckled.” They also add that “Back in 2016, she helped start a movement with the Academy Awards by questioning why there are so few Black members, and Chris took it to this?” Read what Twitter has been saying about the new comedy special here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Kim Kardashian Ready To Date, Wants Man Who “Isn’t Famous In Hollywood”: Report

by

Kim Kardashian has been a part of numerous failed relationships throughout her life, but she’s not giving up on love. According to a Friday (March 3) report from PEOPLE, the socialite is feeling “ready” to start dating again after ending things with Pete Davidson in mid-2022. It sounds like her next beau could be very different from the men from her past.

When she was only 19 years old, the mother of four eloped with music producer Damon Thomas. Their divorce was finalized three years later, in 2003, at which time Kardashian was spending time with Ray J. During their relationship, the singer and model famously made a sex tape together, which was leaked in February 2007. As many have pointed out, this was the true catalyst for her inevitable rise to fame.

Kim’s Romantic Past

As Us Weekly notes, Kardashian also spent time with two Nicks – Lachey and Cannon – before meeting long-term beau Reggie Bush. They were together on and off from 2007 to 2010. After that, the reality star stepped out with a handful of other stars before connecting with Kris Humphries. She and the athlete were engaged less than a year after meeting. While they went through with their wedding, it ended after just 72 days and wasn’t settled until April 2013.

Kanye West is the man who came into the SKIMS founder’s life next, and though their marriage also ultimately ended, they share four beautiful children together. Their split was publicly played out via the rapper’s Instagram feed, but he’s been far quieter on Instagram as of late. When Kimye went their separate ways, she found a spark with Davidson, but that burnt out after nine months.

Looking to the Future

After taking time off from romance to heal and focus on her family, Kardashian has formed a better idea of what she’s looking for in a man. “Kim hasn’t been dating, but is ready again,” insiders told PEOPLE earlier this week. “She took a breather after Pete, but she is interested now. She would love to date someone who isn’t famous in Hollywood. Someone in finance would be perfect.”

Sources shared that the makeup mogul “has a lot of things going on that make her happy,” and being able to share that with a partner would bring her joy. Who would you like to see Kim Kardashian date next? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Post Malone Reportedly Blows Off Deposition In $350K Case With Ex-Girlfriend

by

Post Malone is reportedly dismissing a deposition for a $350K court case involving his split from ex-girlfriend Ashlen Diaz. Both individuals face a lawsuit from Martorell Law, who Diaz hired to arrange palimony from Post (support for non-married split couples) after their 2018 breakup. Moreover, Martorell accused both of reaching a private agreement and cutting the firm from previously promised settlement percentages. Now, the law firm alleged that Malone did not respond to the deposition served in his home of Utah.

According to a Radar Online report on Friday (March 3), Martorell filed a motion for a default judgement against Post of $787,027.60 for failing to answer the court order. Also, they claim that his legal team “refused to accommodate the request and instead threatened to bring malicious prosecution charges … six times despite Martorell noting repeatedly that he heard the threat and respectfully requesting he not repeat it.” Then, his lawyers addressed the situation by maintaining that he did not receive the notice upon delivery and only recently became aware of it.

“Because of the nature of my work as a touring musician, I spend most of my time on the road traveling for work or performing on tour,” Post stated in his team’s filing. “Indeed, in 2022, I only spent an estimated combined total of 2 months in the State of Utah. I had no idea I had been sued, and I had no idea I was a party to this action. I did not learn about the existence of this lawsuit until on or around December 19, 2022, upon which my attorneys were swiftly notified.”

Meanwhile, this adds to the “rockstar” singer’s legal problems, such as a suit involving Bored Ape Yacht Club NFTs. Among several other famous codefendants, he faced accusations of misleading promotion and dishonestly valuing digital products. Moreover, the suit is specifically against Yuga Labs Inc., the company behind the virtual pieces. Regardless of his legal woes, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest on Post Malone.

T.I. Says He Has No Beef With Boosie

by

T.I. recently stated that he has no beef with Boosie Badazz, despite what recent weeks indicated. For those of you unaware, the two engaged in a social media spat after Boosie called off their joint album, saying that T.I. snitched on his late cousin. Now, TMZ caught up with him outside The Cheesecake Factory, where he laughed off the feud when first asked about it. Moreover, he told the publication that “someone misspoke,” referring to Boosie, and that he knows he’s wrong. Furthermore, the Atlanta icon said that they’ll work out those issues between themselves and not in the public eye.

“The way it should’ve been in the first place,” Tip said of the two making amends outside of the media spotlight. In addition, he expressed that these situations are bigger than any handful of tracks, and said that’s why getting the music out there isn’t the main focus for him right now. Also, as a bit of an extra question, the interviewer asked T.I. what advice he has for young rappers trying to make it. “They gon’ have to go through it to get through it,” he remarked, saying his advice is nothing compared to an individual’s experiences.

T.I. Has No Beef With Boosie, Apparently

Meanwhile, the “Live Your Life” MC actually instigated plenty of furtherance of this Boosie feud online, so his words here are a bit odd. For example, he posted paperwork allegedly proving Boosie’s claims and information were false. In fact, he even invited him to a live event so the Baton Rouge rapper could see them for himself. However, he didn’t make it to the venue, which T.I. was not happy with.

“Let a motherf***er know that the paperwork was present,” he stated to many fans. “I’ve been waiting on one special invited guest to show up, but he ain’t showed up yet. But he ain’t here to see my paperwork. So come on if you got something to say. I wanna see who wanna see, you hear me? After you see what you need to see, it’s on you now.” Regardless of your take, come back to HNHH for the latest on T.I. and Boosie Badazz.

Kylie Jenner Loses 1M Instagram Followers Due To Selena Gomez Drama: Report

by

In our modern digital age, Instagram followers are as good as dollars. For those lucky enough to be born with beauty, making money on social media has become a viable career option, making it an incredibly competitive market. For some time, the most followed woman on the platform has been Kylie Jenner, who’s spent nearly her entire life in the spotlight. Recently, however, she was surpassed by Disney channel alum Selena Gomez, seemingly leading to some drama between the two.

After the Rare Beauty founder surpassed the reality star, internet sleuths kept an eagle eye out for a reaction from Jenner. After Gomez posted about accidentally over laminating her eyebrows online, some detectives thought they found it in the form of the mother of two showing off her own brows on her Story. The gossip began circulating rapidly online. As a result, accusations from fans became so intense that both women shut down the accusations.

Did Kylie Shade Selena?

On TikTok, Jenner responded to a creator reporting on the alleged feud. “This is reaching,” she wrote earlier this month. “No shade towards Selena ever and I didn’t see her eyebrow posts! [You] guys are making something out of nothing. This is silly.” Gomez got wind of her alleged enemies’ comments and also chimed in. “Agreed @kyliejenner. It’s all unnecessary. I’m a fan of Kylie!”

Despite their best efforts to destroy the drama, internet trolls are continuing to seek out signs of trouble. A few days ago, many of them noted that the “Lose You To Love Me” songstress has been absent from some apps since February 22. In wake of all the hateful energy brooding around her and Jenner, Gomez told fans she had plans to take a few days off from social media to recoup.

As DailyMail notes, it was hitting the 381M follower mark on IG that pushed the actress past her fellow makeup mogul. Jenner previously had 380M but has since dropped to 379M in the days following her “shady” post. Gomez, on the other hand, has continued to steadily grow and now has 389M followers cheering her on.
