King Harris Insists He’s A “Legend,” Fires Back At Critics Dissing His Persona

by

T.I. and Tiny’s 19-year-old son King Harris has been making headlines as of late, largely due to a recent altercation he got into with both of them. The family attended an Atlanta Falcons game last week where the incident took place. The up-and-coming rapper was on Instagram Live, streaming a verbal spat with his parents to thousands of his followers.

Unfortunately, the situation took a turn for the worse, and things ultimately got physical. During the argument, T.I. called King out for claiming to have had a rough upbringing, arguing that his son hasn’t faced as many obstacles as he leads fans to believe. Tiny later chimed in, insisting that the teenager only preferred to stay with his grandmother over his parents because she allowed him to “suck a pacifier there, ’til he was 12 years old.”

King Harris Responds To Haters

He clapped back, claiming that he actually spent time “outside in the neighborhood” as opposed to with family members. The disagreement only escalated from there, with King continuing to remind his mom and dad that he “stands on business.” T.I. begged to differ, telling him that he was instead “embarrassing” himself and their family. King’s no stranger to being accused of putting up a front for social media, but this latest debacle with his celebrity parents has only added fuel to the fire. Recently, however, King took to Instagram Live to shut down critics claiming that his persona is fake.

He argued that it wouldn’t make sense for him to pretend to have less than he does, as what he has is a “blessing.” King also called himself the “youngest legend” there is. “Sh*t is good over here,” he explained, “why would I want to pretend to be anything less?” What do you think of the criticism King Harris has been receiving as of late? Do you think it’s justified? What about the 19-year-old claiming he’s the “youngest legend” around? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

by

There have been plenty of truly massive tours this year across all genres of music. Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Travis Scott, and more have been rocking stages all across the globe. Drake is also among those names, but now he is going back for seconds after dropping For All The Dogs. While this would still be a great thing for music fans to have Drizzy go back on tour solo, J. Cole joining him just makes it all the more special.

It was announced just a handful of days ago as the It’s All A Blur Tour — Big As The What? Tour. Drake is going to make up some dates from his first tour according to HipHopDX. Both J. Cole and Drizzy are hitting the road in Denver on January 18. Then, it will end in Birmingham, Alabama in late March. While fans are stoked some are scratching their heads as to why the tour is focused on heading to small cities. Well, Cole’s manager, Ibrahim “IB” Hamad, addressed those questions.

The Weeknd Keeps Responding To “The Idol” Hate On Twitter

by

If you haven’t heard it by now, The Weeknd’s HBO series “The Idol” proved to be a popular but divisive affair. While some fans just can’t stomach the subject matter and its depiction, others took shots at the acting and script quality in particular. The one who’s gotten the brunt of that criticism is Abel Tesfaye himself, particularly on social media sites like Twitter. However, he clearly wants to have a little fun as he lashes back at hate towards the show, whose fourth episode premieres this Sunday (June 25). Moreover, he kept responding to some online discussion of the show, and mockingly replied to one user in particular on Friday (June 23).

“Who has the thread or article on why the idol is bad pls i need it,” the user posted on Twitter. What’s more is that The Weeknd had to dig pretty deep to find this tweet in the first place, which only made people laugh at the idea of him searching “Idol bad” online even more. Nevertheless, the Canadian superstar took issue with people wanting to search popular opinions before coming to their own conclusions. “‘Someone hurry please tell me why I hate something everyone is telling me to hate… hurry before I come up with my own opinion,’” he responded.

The Weeknd Claps Back At Fan Looking For “The Idol” Hate

In addition, he also retweeted some support of the show, highlighting as much negativity and positivity with his Internet presence. “The Idol ep. 3 reminds me of echoes of silence,” one fan wrote. “i feel like if you took that song and turned it into an episode that would be it. they do such an incredible job at the depiction of someone who’s been through trauma and wants a ‘thrill.’ 10/10 it’s incredible.” Another wrote, “Fr I saw on TikTok a girl that was like I am gonna watch the idol every week and keep y’all updated, girl just say you like it keep it moving.”

Meanwhile, another retweeted fan took note of how much attention the show is getting in the first place, indicating that people are more interested than they’d like to admit. “All these “i watched the idol so you don’t have to: review” videos like hmm sounds like u just wanted to watch the idol,” they expressed. Regardless, let us know what you think of “The Idol” so far and Abel’s responses down below. Also, stay up to date on HNHH for the latest news surrounding The Weeknd and his many endeavors.

Pusha T Seemingly Responds To Jim Jones

by

Jim Jones recently lit the rap world on fire by suggesting that Pusha T is not an all-time MC. “What has he done that puts him in the greatest rappers of all time?” he asked on the RapCaviar Podcast. “Besides talk about cocaine that he probably didn’t get himself. He could rap his ass off but what has he done? Nobody has dressed like him, Nobody want to be like Pusha T. I don’t remember nothing. I don’t know too many n***as in this game that was leaning towards being like Pusha T.”

Now, it seems like the “Nosetalgia” MC might have responded in a post thanking Jerry Lorenzo for including him in his Fear Of God show. Furthermore, people came to that conclusion thanks to the boastful caption included- plus the inevitable context of the Dipset MC’s words in everyone’s minds. “Places they’ll never be, stages they’ll never see…” the Virginia Beach native wrote on his post. Of course, this could mean anything, and knowing that Push is one to directly address detractors, it’s probably not a pointed comment like many believe. Still, fans can only dream.

Pusha T May Have Clapped Back At Jim Jones

In addition, Jim Jones recently doubled down on his take on The Breakfast Club, asking the radio staff some questions to prove his point. “Could you name five Pusha T records?” he asked. “Could you name five Pusha T records? No, could you rap to five Pusha T records? Could you rap five [Jay-Z] verses if they came on? Could you rap five Drake verses if they came on? You lying because you work at radio. I’m just gonna say that because n***as gonna say Jim went way wildin.

“Shoutout to Pusha T, I love your soul,” Jim Jones continued. “You my dawg, you not in my top 50. You might be in Charlamagne’s top 50 and things like that, but you haven’t done that much for me in my life. I never wanted to be like Pusha, I never had a Pusha moment in my life. Where I’m from, n***as wanted to be like you if you was really that dude as a rapper.” Regardless of whether Push really responded or not, return to HNHH for more on Jim Jones and Pusha T.

Lil Nas X Claps Back At Troll Saying He’s “Fake Gay”

by

Time and time again, Lil Nas X proves that he’s always got the chops to respond artfully to online haters. Now, he faced some criticism for his Lollapalooza Chile set, although it had nothing to do with the excellent performance itself. One particular tweet made social media rounds alleging that the MONTERO artist is faking his sexuality. “I feel like he’s not really gay or not really that feminine it’s so forced,” the tweet read. Of course, the brain behind “Old Town Road” and so many more hits had a cheeky response up his sleeve.

“Oh no guys it’s the estrogen expert,” he fired off on Saturday morning (March 18). Also, he responded to another comment that suggested a similar close-minded mentality. “One day we will realise that Lil Nas X is not gay,” another tweeter expressed. “He just finessed the LGBT community and got to the bag.” This time around, his response was much more elaborate. “Do I have to give head at 3:45 am behind a McDonalds in Chicago on a Friday night during the middle of pride month while streaming on twitch and IG live for y’all to realize I am really a fruitcake?” he clapped back.

Lil Nas X Responds To Trolls Claiming He’s “Fake Gay”

In fact, these responses to Nas X’s show initially made headlines for how another rapper worked herself into the fray. Moreover, Saweetie liked that first tweet that the “INDUSTRY BABY” singer and rapper responded to about him being “fake gay.” Unsurprisingly, responses to that mere like prompted the “My Type” rapper to clarify her like on Twitter. “He was lookin fine af,” she tweeted shortly after people started noticing her like. “That’s why I liked the video I didn’t see the shadiness …. *unlikes*.”

Meanwhile, most people actually took the set for what it was and praised the unreleased track that Nas X played in the clips that these tweets reference. Furthermore, it’s a Saucy Santana collab titled “Down Souf Hoes” that’s sure to fire up any dance floor when it drops. Honestly, people trying to get under his skin only makes his hilarious responses and personality that much more gratifying. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Lil Nas X.

The MONTERO Star Claps Back Again

Ice Spice Responds To North West’s Portrait Of Her

by

Ice Spice just responded to North West’s portrait of her that she shared on TikTok. Moreover, TMZ caught up with the Bronx rapper on Monday (February 13) and asked her if she saw the skillful drawing. “I did, it was so cute!” Spice replied. “Thank you, North.” Also, the reporter took the chance to ask her if she thought that talent ran in the family. Still, the 23-year-old didn’t play into Kanye West conversations just yet. “She’s so talented,” Ice replied simply. When asked whether she’d come out with new music soon, she responded with another simple “Yes.” Of course, maybe these answers are all paparazzi fodder, but it’s unlikely that she would just trash on the drawing.

Furthermore, Kim Kardashian often praised and showcased North’s work before. For example, they share a lot of pieces on TikTok, such as charcoal drawings that apparently represent North’s “emo phase.” Also, she spoke in February of 2022 of how happy her daughter’s expressions make her. “I love seeing, like, the personality and the moods and everything that she goes through and just feel like it’s really been an amazing hobby of hers.”

Meanwhile, the “Bikini Bottom” MC had quite the busy weekend, from adoring fans to rowdy concertgoers. To start, a fan tried to gift her a bouquet of flowers outside of a nightclub gig she headed to. While she smiled and acknowledged their sweetness, she denied the flowers and kept walking to her gig. From what this latest TMZ clip of the drawing indicates, it seems Ice is a master of dodging unwanted situations with chilly stoicism. Sure, she does so gracefully and with respect, but that takes a lot of media training. If anything, she only deserves props for being able to handle so many eyes on her with public poise.

However, things got tougher once she entered the venue itself. While she performed, a massive crowd started to amass near the stage. In fact, it became so overwhelming that the rapper had to push fans off her as they tried to get too close. Even with the DJ and scant security doing their best to crowd-control, it’s yet another resilient display from the superstar. Let us know what you think of her response in the comments and return to HNHH for the latest on Ice Spice.
