Nicki Minaj Shares Advice She’d Give Her Younger Self

by

Nicki Minaj is on a roll right now, which should come as no surprise considering her dominance in the hip-hop game. Moreover, her recent remix of Ice Spice’s “Princess Diana” was a smash hit with both audiences and hardcore fans alike. In addition to her success, she often takes time on social media to talk with her die-hards and respond to questions or happening surrounding her online. One recent example was her reply to a fan who asked whether she ever wishes for a normal life. Also, she revealed the advice that she would give her younger self.

“Do you ever wish for a normal life?” the fan asked the “Red Ruby Da Sleeze” star via Twitter. “If you could go back and tell your younger self anything what would it be?” Nicki Minaj’s answer was short, sweet, and surely inspirational for many out there, or at least motivating enough to keep their heads up. “I have everything I ever prayed for,” the rap star responded. “If I could tell my younger self something I’d say: ‘hang in there, one day you’ll have the best fans on earth.‘”

Nicki Minaj Would Tell Her Younger Self To “Hang In There”

Through her hard work and a strong connection to her fanbase, those words ring true. Not many other Standoms out there come close to the passion, sheer number, and prolific nature of the Barbz. Beyond that, the 40-year-old is also venturing into new areas of collaboration with artists outside of the rap game. For example, her recent appearance on Kim Petras’ “Alone” left the German artist befuddled. “It doesn’t feel real still,” Petras told Zane Lowe. “Her singing, ‘It’s Barbie and it’s Kim Petras,’ I cried. I was on the floor and then she calls me Kim Petty in it, which all my friends are like, ‘How do we not come up with that [in] our entire lives?’

“So she just changed my life in so many ways with that verse, and that verse rips,” she continued. “I love her and I’m so inspired by her always, it’s crazy to me. I don’t know how she does it, but she’s just the greatest ever. I’m so happy that she likes the song. We shot the music video together and [Minaj] was like, ‘Ugh, when I heard the song, I just loved it.’ And that just made me so happy. I feel like I’ve learned so much. I feel like I love her more. When the camera’s on, it’s crazy. She just goes into full superstar.” For more updates and news on Nicki Minaj, check back in with HNHH.

Marques Houston Clarifies Comments On Single Mothers

by

Marques Houston recently made some inflammatory comments about single mothers, calling them a “red flag.” Now, the singer and actor took to social media to respond to the backlash and apologize for his insensitive remarks. Not only that, but it also comes after Immature group mate Romeo responded on his behalf and gave an apology to fans, stating that he doesn’t agree with Houston’s views. However, that might have brushed Marques the wrong way, at least from what his Instagram Stories indicate. First, though, there’s his actual apology.

“I humbly apologize for the comments I have made, and to those I have offended,” Marques Houston began. “I have a deep respect for all women of any age, race, or background. My comments made in a recent interview was taken out of context. I work with many independent women every single day, and have ultimate respect for them and what they are able to accomplish in this world and my choice of words, or how they were taken, does not reflect how I view them. So again, I would like to apologize, and will use this experience to both better myself and the men I’m an example to.”

Marques Houston Addresses Backlash To Single Mothers Comments

Before that, Romeo came through with a letter of his own addressing the issue. “I would like to extend my sincerest apologies in regards to the insensitive statements made by my former group member Marques Houston,” he began. “Women today have enough battles to endure including the policing of their bodies, equal pay in the workplaces, and beauty standards. It is never ok to degrade one group of women in order to praise another. As artists, it has always been important to us that the content of our music and who we represent as men would never disrespect women (especially women of color) and his views do not reflect those of the group.”

Still, maybe the Sister Sister actor saw this as an affront against him, and might’ve called Romeo a “bottom feeder.” “To all my fans, supporters and real truth seekers I can see how the media would love to pin people against people for monetary gain,” he added. “But when your at peace, loving life and able to still make a positive impact in the entertainment world for over 2 decades, it’s so easy to move out the way and let the bottom feeders eat. #Protectyourpeace I LOVE YOU ALL!” Regardless of your take on these comments, stick around on HNHH for the latest on Romeo and Marques Houston.

Moneybagg Yo Seemingly Responds To Pricey Steak At Restaurant

by

A lot of people debated whether $135 dollars is an adequate price for a 40 oz. Tomahawk steak at Moneybagg Yo’s newly opened restaurant, Cache 42. However, it seems like the Memphis MC chimed in on the debate via an Instagram post. “Pay What You Weigh Love,” he wrote as the caption of a picture of himself. While it’s just an unassuming picture and caption, the context surrounding the worth of payment certainly makes it hard to not make the connection. On one hand, many people lamented the steep price for a cut of meat with no sides. On the other, some argued that such a hunk of beef could feed four people with ease.

Regardless, this controversy will likely just add more notoriety and attention to Cache 42, which opened in early April. Of course, the fact that a Tomahawk is on the menu at all should suggest that it’ll hit your pockets a bit deeper than other places. Still, this is a young business with not even two weeks of experience as of writing this article. As such, only time will tell how it continues to build, adapt, and bring its culinary treats to patrons of ranging financial situations.

Moneybagg Yo Apparently Responds To Overpriced Steak Debate At Cache 42

Unfortunately for the “Wokescha” rapper, this isn’t the only controversy that hit Cache 42. Shortly after opening, Moneybagg Yo got into a social media spat with his alleged baby mama Poison Ivy concerning a fake Facebook page of the restaurant. Moreover, Ivy shared a post that talked down on Yo’s relationship with Ari Fletcher, simultaneously dissing and praising her and Ivy. Then, the 31-year-old called cap on Facebook and asked fans to report the page.

“If Y’all Love Me Report This Fake Capp A** S**t!!” he wrote. “It’s Some Weird Ppl In this World Just Be Wanting To Go Viral For Wateva S**t Sad Bra REPORT THIS PAGE CACHE 42 DONT HAVE A REAL FB PAGE YET!” Of course, Moneybagg and Ari’s relationship apparently grew rocky recently, but it seems like this was a step too far. Regardless, let us know what you think of the $135 steak debate and the Bread Gang artist’s response down below. Also, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Moneybagg Yo.

Cardi B Responds To Someone Calling Her A Predator

by

When Cardi B responded to the Dalai Lama asking a child to suck his tongue, she probably didn’t expect a fair share of backlash her way. Yet, as she took to her social media to blast the religious leader for his actions, many clapped back and said she was guilty of similarly reprehensible behavior. “This world is full of predators,” Cardi wrote on Twitter. “They prey on the innocent. The ones who are most unknowing, our children. Predators could be our neighbors, our school teachers, even people wit money, power & our churches. Constantly talk with your kids about boundaries and what they shouldn’t allow people to do to them.”

However, those strong words weren’t enough for fans who remembered her allegedly drugging men to rob them, bringing about accusations of assault as well. “I’m sorry I just don’t want predator PSA’s from a former/current predator!” one user tweeted. “No matter how you flip twist or turn it!” After seeing the response to her Instagram post, Cardi B fired back at the commenter. “Did I r*pe them? Touch them? Kiss them? Put my hand on their privates? Is taking money from somebody different than touching they bodies without consent? Cause there’s a difference.”

Cardi B Refutes Claims That She’s A Predator

“So I’m seeing on social media that a Live I did 3 years ago has popped back up,” she explained about the controversy back in 2019. “A Live where I talked about things I had to do in my past right or wrong that I felt I needed to do to make a living. I never claim to be perfect or come from a perfect world with a perfect past. I always speak my truth, I always own my s**t. I’m a part of a hip hop culture where you can talk about where you come from talk about the wrong things you had to do to get where you are. I made the choices that I did at the time because I had very limited options. I was blessed to have been able to rise from that, but so many women have not.

“Whether or not they were poor choices at the time, I did what I had to do to survive.” Cardi B added the following later that year: “I let people go with this narrative of me for a long time. Not once did I say I put s**t inside n***as drinks. I NEVER did that. These n***as use to get drunk, smoke maa weed party an hard and passed out. Never did I force n***as to come with me nowhere. Never did I f**k nobody. These Men used to disgust me sooo for the fact people keep calling me a r*pist when I didn’t even kiss these men it’s so crazy to me.” Regardless of your take, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Cardi B.

Webbie Responds To People Clowning His Latest Outfit

by

Sometimes, when people start flaming you for your image, that can feel like a personal slight. That’s exactly how Webbie felt when people clowned him for his outlandish outfit, shown off in what appears to be a photoshoot. Moreover, he wore a crop top, a big fur coat, and a large top hat à la Pharrell circa 2013-2014. After people started to make jokes about his fashion choices, the rapper took to Instagram to clap back at his haters. Overall, the message seemed to revolve around people talking all that Internet smack and not being able to back it up in real life.

“Man, shout out to all the people in the world,” Webbie began his message on a similarly positive note. “The East Coast, the West Coast, the North, South, look here. I just want to know why y’all don’t repost and double post s**t when I tell the kids to stay in school, and ‘you can be whatever you want to be.’ You know, the positive things about life, you know what I’m talking about? Because that’s what I represent, Savage Life, ’cause I done been through it all, you heard me? Shoutout to all my dogs, all my homegirls, you know what I’m saying? But anyway, man, quit playing. Quit playing on the Internet, man, before s**t get crazy, for real. Savage Life, the dumb way. Be ready for the movement, man, that s**t gon’ be big, the dumb way, for real.”

Webbie Speaks Out Against Trolls Clowning His Outfit

While many thought he dug a little too deep into the subject, at least he’s clearly passionate about his choices. Also, his words on him going through a lot certainly ring true, although his struggles have changed with age. For example, respondents carried him out of a nightclub after he suffered a medical emergency on stage. Fortunately, everything worked out for Webbie, and he’s continued to develop his career.

In addition, many were happy to see him resolve his issues with Boosie Badazz after the two had a brief spat. As they continue making music together, it’s safe to say that he’s trying to enjoy the later years of his career and make up his past feuds where he can. Let’s just hope that his next fashion statement doesn’t incite as much jesting. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Webbie.

Yung Miami Responds To Diss Track

by

Many might believe that Yung Miami can’t catch a break these days, but she’s clearly letting all that dirt roll off her shoulder. Moreover, she recently responded to a diss track aimed at her from Chicago rapper Big Mulla. From what reports indicate, it seems their beef began when the City Girl made fun of Mulla’s looks in an Instagram comment. “Why your eyes so far apart?” she wrote at the Windy City native under an IG post. While rumors of beef between her and Mariah the Scientist proved incorrect, it seems another feud came in to take its place. However, the Miami rapper took to the comments of The Neighborhood Talk‘s post covering the diss with a simple clapback.

“Booooooooo,” she wrote, adding a couple of tomato emojis. As such, she quickly and quite comically dismissed the shots taken at her music, her relationship with Diddy, and a few other things Mulla pointed out. This likely won’t manifest into an actual response track, but at least she gave it the time of day. Unfortunately, the 29-year-old is dealing with a lot of flack at the moment.

Yung Miami Dismisses Diss Track Aimed At Her

First, there’s the whole reason that fans speculated Mariah dissed Yung Miami, and that’s her recent performance on BMF. Of course, to appear on the hit TV show in the first place should be a big moment of celebration for the “Act Up” MC. Instead, many criticized her acting chops and proceeded to clown her all over social media. While she fought back and forth with a few users and responded with apathy and sometimes anger, she expressed indifference to the hate at the end of the day.

With that precedent in mind, it’s no surprise that she would so bluntly respond to a diss track about her. What’s more is that she’s also one to stick up for people when they’re getting this level of undue animosity thrown their way. Recently, she defended Chrisean Rock amid Blueface’s social media attacks at her. “You’re beautiful and FULL OF LIFE!” she messaged Rock on Twitter. Regardless of the naysayers, stick around on HNHH for the latest on Yung Miami.

Chlöe Responds To Backlash Over “Swarm” Sex Scene

by

Chlöe just responded to backlash over a sex scene in the TV show “Swarm,” where she acted with Damson Idris. Moreover, she spoke to Big Boy about the issue, who expressed confusion as to why people made a fuss over the moment in the first place. As the radio host rightfully points out, she barely appears in the scene, as the primary focus is on Damson. Furthermore, the Neighborhood icon brought up that the Bailey sister’s costar didn’t receive as much criticism for the scene as her, calling out gender standards. While she didn’t disagree, she said that she learned to focus on what made the project so compelling and dismiss undue criticism at face value.

“So I’m an actress, you know?” the artist began. “And I feel like it’s about art. When I first received the script, it was just insane and gorgeous. I think people are actually forgetting the plot of that scene. It’s not about seeing me in the mirror of that scene. But I think because it’s me doing it, that’s what kind of makes it blow out of proportion. But I’m barely seen for two seconds in that” Then, Big Boy asked whether Idris also received flack for the scene. “I don’t think so,” Chlöe replied, “’cause he’s a man.”

Chlöe Responds To Critics Of Her Sex Scene In “Swarm”

In fact, that’s a similar sentient to “Grown-is” costar Trevor Jackson’s defense of Chlöe and the scene in question. “I haven’t seen it yet, but it’s art,” he told TMZ when asked about the controversial scene. “And I support Chlöe in any and everything that she does. He added, “She’s an amazing person, and she’s an artist. She can do whatever she wants, whatever she feels led to do. It’s her life, and she’ll always have my support every time.”

Meanwhile, the “Body Do” singer said that she was very nervous about recording the intimate performance. “I was very scared because I haven’t had that many partners,” she revealed to Deadline. “I’m not like that, that sexual and open. Damson made it very comfortable, you know, there were limited people on set. We were making a joke out of it. I have to give a lot of kudos to him as a man for making me as a woman feel comfortable literally being raw and naked.” Regardless of your take, log back into HNHH for the latest on Chlöe.

Kanye West’s Jonah Hill & “21 Jump Street” Post Gets Response From Directors

by

Kanye West’s return to Instagram, thanking Jonah Hill in the film 21 Jump Street for making him “like Jewish people again” got a response from the film’s directors. Moreover, it was a pretty weird and still incredibly tone deaf post that caused many to clown or further criticize him. Still, as many fans pointed out, he could’ve said much worse. “Watching Jonah Hill in 21 Jump street made me like Jewish people again,” the Chicago rapper wrote. “No one should take anger against one or two individuals and transform that into hatred towards millions of innocent people. No Christian can be labeled antisemite knowing Jesus is Jew. Thank you Jonah Hill I love you.”

Furthermore, both Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (who directed the film) had cheeky, brief, and comical responses to Ye’s proclamation. “Um… thanks for watching?” Miller tweeted with a screenshot of the post in question. On his end, Lord retweeted and replied to a tweet asking if there’s anything the directing duo can’t do. “Laughter is the best medicine,” Phil commented in response. However, Hill hasn’t spoken on that message yet, presumably because he doesn’t have social media.

“21 Jump Street” Directors Respond To Kanye West

Of course, it was only a matter of time before Kanye made some form of a comeback on social media, if only in the literal sense. He’s been laying relatively low for the past few months, with his most discussed behavior being his paparazzi interactions while out with wife Bianca Censori. While he’s not making the explosive and combative statements that sent public goodwill through a downward spiral, this seemed backhanded to many out there. More than that, it doesn’t indicate any understanding of wrongdoing, although it’s the typical Gram antic from the Yeezy mogul at this point.

Meanwhile, Amber Rose and Julia Fox both shared their experiences dating the 45-year old on the latter’s Forbidden Fruits podcast. Moreover, they discussed his tendency to make everything about him, whether it’s playing his music all the time or being the most well-known person in the room. Regardless, it’s clear that some of that attitude translates into him believing his Jonah Hill shout-out was warranted. Check out Miller’s response below and, for the latest news and updates on Kanye West, stick around on HNHH.

Adin Ross Gets “Swatted” Multiple Times, LAPD Responds

by

Popular YouTuber and streamer Adin Ross got “swatted” multiple times recently, so much so that the LAPD responded. For those of you who don’t know, “swatting” refers to the practice of calling the police about a shooting or high-risk event that would prompt a SWAT team or law enforcement to arrive at a property. What makes these calls “swatting” is that they are completely false and only done to prank a content creator or celebrity. For example, Lil Wayne woke up one night to find police in his Miami mansion due to a false call.

In fact, this situation became so frequent for Ross that officials told TMZ they’d change responses to calls regarding him. Before sending patrol cars and helicopters, police will contact his security team first. Hopefully a revised confirmation method will result in the content creator being more at peace. However, following a Twitch streaming ban and multiple public controversies, that peace seems harder to find than ever. One instance of his reproached behavior is his continued support of Andrew Tate, whose misogynist views garnered much criticism online.

Adin Ross Gets Swatted Too Often For The LAPD’s Taste

Regardless, swatting is serious business and can even result in severe injury, punishment, or loss of life. Tragically, an innocent man passed away after he faced a swatting incident in his home. Reportedly, he fought with another player over a Call of Duty match and his opponent made the call to send police to his home. What’s more is that it’s affected multiple celebrities to varying degrees, whether it’s unearthed information or simply disturbing their well-being and sense of security. Still, at least in Adin Ross’s case, he still has quite the huge following despite these bumps in the road and controversies.

Meanwhile, the 22-year-old’s antics and proximity to the rap world even resulted in a few conflicts and disses. For example, YoungBoy dissed the streamer after he allegedly liked Adin’s girlfriend’s Instagram picture and the YouTuber clapped back. “Tell that YouTuber or streamer, whatever he is,” YB rapped in a song snippet. “Stop playin’ with me, b***h / You ain’t man like that, know them gunnas layin’ with me, b***h / I ain’t got no Instagram, no social media, I wasn’t talkin’ to yo b***h / Ugly a**, y’all disgustin’, you n***as make me sick.” Regardless of that exchange, come back to HNHH for the latest on Adin Ross.

Andrew Tate Refutes Alleged Cancer Diagnosis In Outlandish Tweet

by

Andrew Tate remains behind bars along with his brother on suspicion of money laundering, human trafficking, and other allegations. However, new reports emerged on Friday that Tate is battling cancer in prison. The controversial personality reportedly saw a doctor in Dubai weeks before his arrest in December. His doctors in both Dubai and Romania expressed concern over a lesion on his lung and tried to book an appointment to have it removed before it spread.

As Tate’s alleged medical records circulated, his apparent manager shared a statement that confirmed the diagnosis. “Ok a lot of people are asking me if Tate lung cancer story is true. Yes it’s true, I was the one driving with him to and from the hospitals in Dubai. I don’t have any more specifics to share,” the Instagram post read as fans and detractors reacted to the news. Ultimately, the reports claim that Tate needs medical attention immediately to prevent “series negative implications” on his health.

Andrew Tate Denies Cancer Rumors

Somehow, Andrew Tate has been getting his message across the internet, despite his incarceration. Though his team claimed that he’s remained isolated since his arrest, his Twitter account remains active. Most recently, Tate addressed rumors surrounding the alleged diagnosis. “I do not have cancer. My lungs contain precisely 0 smoking damage. In fact, I have an 8L lung capacity and the vital signs of an Olympic athlete. There is nothing but a scar on my lung from an old battle. True warriors are scarred both inside and out,” the tweet reads.

However, it didn’t end there. He, once again, reiterated how influential he is and stated that his existence on planet Earth can only make society a better place. “As one of the most influential men on the face of the planet, it is important for the food of humanity that I live as long as possible,” he continued in a subsequent tweet. “At my current strength levels, I estimate to survive for at least 5000 more years. With this in mind, I take my medical care extremely seriously.” Check out his tweets above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.
