Law Roach Explains His Retirement From Celebrity Styling

by

Law Roach says that he’s certain about retiring from celebrity styling and that he hasn’t been happy “in a really long time.” The iconic fashion stylist explained his reasoning during an interview with The Cut. Over the years, Roach has worked with many celebrities on looks including Zendaya, Celine Dion, Tom Holland, and Ariana Grande.

“I am definitely, 100,000 percent retiring,” he told the outlet. “Nobody can say what’s forever and what will happen, but at this moment, and in my mind, I’m definitely retiring from celebrity styling. I’m not retiring from fashion, because I love it so much. But styling, in the way that I’ve been of service to other people, I’m retiring from that.”

As for why he’s stepping away, he continued: “I think the real reason is that it’s been building for a while because, you know, I looked up one day and honestly realized that I’m not happy. I haven’t been happy, honestly, in a really long time. And the culmination of everything that’s been happening in my career these last few days kind of just pushed me over the edge. And it’s just like, You know what? I’ve done everything. I’m very grateful that I’ve been able to move and climb in this industry the way I have.”

While he says he’s grateful for the success he’s achieved, Roach admits it’s come at the cost of great personal sacrifices. He continued: “But I can’t say that I didn’t do that without suffering. And I think as Black people in this country, it’s embedded in us to suffer, right? We feel like to be successful, we have to suffer. You suffer through things to get to the other side, you know? You suffer through Earth to get to heaven, you know what I mean?”

“I made that post because I felt like I couldn’t breathe and me releasing that and letting the world know that I’m done with this was the first time that whole week that I really felt like I took a breath, a deep breath,” he added. “I don’t wanna suffer no more, I don’t wanna be unhappy, I don’t wanna be at the beck and call of people and their teams.” He further said: “I wanna take some time and figure out, you know, how to live.”

Zendaya’s Stylist Law Roach Announces Retirement: “My Cup Is Empty…False Narratives Finally Got Me!”

by

Bad news for everyone who’s been loving Zendaya’s red carpet looks as of late – her long-time stylist, Law Roach, is officially retiring. The fashion expert shared the surprising news via Instagram on Tuesday (March 14), seemingly blaming the politics of the industry for his decision to walk away at the age of 44. Aside from the Euphoria actress, he’s also styled huge names like Celiné Dion, Megan Thee Stallion, and Kerry Washington, just to name a few.

In his announcement, Roach wrote, “My cup is empty… Thank you to everyone [who has] supported me and my career over the years. Every person that trusted me with their image, I’m so grateful for you all.” He continued with, “If this business was about the clothes I would do it for the rest of my life, but unfortunately, it’s not!” According to the Chicago-born creative, what truly matters the most in fashion is “the politics, the lies, and the false narratives.”

Law Roach is Retiring

“[They] finally got me! You win… I’m out,” Roach concluded his rant, which has earned several concerned responses from both friends and fans. “You will always have a home @britishvogue,” the popular magazine’s editor-in-chief, Edward Enninful encouraged his friend. “Mental health is first,” reality star NeNe Leakes chimed in while sending love to the beloved stylist. Even the runway queen herself, Naomi Campbell, dropped by to share some words. “Law, I won’t let you!!! We don’t quit, strived [too] hard,” she reminded her fellow fashion lover.

As Page Six notes, Roach didn’t explicitly explain what caused his sudden departure from the industry, but many internet sleuths have their own ideas. At the recent Louis Vuitton fashion show, Zendaya stepped out in yet another perfectly curated look by her long-time collaborator. She sat front row at the event, and while Law often gets to sit beside her, this time around there was no room, forcing him to hang back one row, slightly out of the spotlight. It remains unclear at this time if the speculation is on point, though we’ll surely get an update soon. In the meantime, keep scrolling to see some of Z and Law Roach’s best red-carpet moments together.

Joe Budden Seemingly Responds To Kxng Crooked Over Logic Criticism

by

On March 8, Joe Budden revealed on his podcast that he hates Logic’s music. On March 10, Kxng Crooked asked why. Budden has finally answered the question. He revealed why he does not like the man behind the music. During the Joe Budden podcast on March 8, they talked about Logic’s cover of Ice Cube’s ” It Was a Good Day”. Budden had some choice words to say about Logic, saying that he should just retire and stop making songs. “Logic, I beg of you, I’m pleading with you: please join me in retirement. Never step near a recording device again… You are the worst, yo! You are really, really bad!”

Two days later, Budden’s former groupmate, Kxng Crooked, responded to the episode on social media, asking Budden why he hates Logic’s music so much. He thinks that there are plenty of people that are in bigger need of being bullied into retirement. “Why does dude hate Logic’s music so much? Serious question. It’s some rappers I wish would retire waaaaaayyy before Logic.”

Joe Budden Responds

Budden’s response to Kxng Crooked reveals that he hates Logic not because of his music, but rather because he is a kiss-ass. He also implies that Kxng Crooked is just as much of a kiss-ass as Logic for trying to fight Logic’s battle for him, instead of letting the man fight them himself. He implies this by refusing to give names and saying that people should fight their own fights. Something that Kxng Crooked is not letting Logic do. When asked to list names instead of being vague on who is on he is talking about, Budden claims that it is not worth the hassle, implying that there are many people he is talking about simultaneously and not just Logic.

Kxng Crooked had walked into a longer beef than he probably realized. The two had been going at it for literally years. It is so bad that Budden was part of the reason why Logic retired in 2020. In 2022, he was on a podcast and responded to Budden’s hatred of him. He thinks that he is a hurt person who likes to make other people feel as bad as he does.

Kid Cudi Hypes Up New Project, Says It’s The “Album Of The Year”

by

After hinting at retirement, Kid Cudi has been teasing his final album since last year. While the 39-year-old has held an acclaimed rap career since the release of “Day ‘n’ Nite” in 2007, he is bidding farewell to his experimental contributions to hip-hop with this upcoming project. Releasing later this year, Cudi has confirmed that the first track of this “powerful” album will drop on June 1st. On an Instagram live this Thursday (March 9), the Ohio native teased his ninth solo album further, noting how “y’all are going to fuck with this shit in such a major way and I’m so fucking excited.”

Although Cudi’s current work in the studio is fueled by his contractual obligations to Republic Records, he still has put his heart and soul into this final project. “I’ve never made a project this powerful before in my life. Sitting, listening to these mixes, I just know that this shit is going to move you,” he said on IG. Cudi enthusiastically added, “I just wanted to get on here and just let y’all know that I’m not gonna let y’all down. This is gonna be the album of the year right now, I’m not playing. This is not a fucking joke. Tell everybody you fucking know, ok?”

Cudi Describes His Final Studio Effort As “Powerful”

The mastermind behind “Mr. Rager” also took to Twitter on Thursday to drop some more hints about his upcoming work. “Im directing the video for my first single. Shits gonna get wild,” he tweeted. Cudi also hinted at a variety of other projects unfolding for him this year, with more time behind the camera coming up in the near future. “I also booked a really cool tv gig that im thoroughly excited about. Very big deal to me. The blessings are overflowin. News about that soon,” Cudi announced. In a different tweet, he added, “some movies comin this year as well. Think about 3.”

Though Cudi will be stepping away from the studio, he’ll be leaving behind a legacy that transcends music, film, and fashion. In an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, the father-of-one disclosed how his retirement was to open up more time to spend with his daughter. As the release date for Cudi’s final album approaches, be sure to keep up with HNHH for the latest news on hip-hop.

Joe Budden Urges Logic To Join Him In Permanent Rap Retirement

by

Joe Budden joins O’Shea Jackson and a legion of critics who are not happy with Logic’s cover of Ice Cube’s “Today Was A Good Day.” This week, Logic covered the iconic song during a live set for his YouTube page, though his melodic approach to the record was among the many issues that people took of the song. Now, Joe Budden hopes that the Maryland MC might consider this a sign to drop the microphone forever. “Logic, I beg of you, I’m pleading with you: please join me in retirement,” Budden said. “Be allergic to microphones! Promise your fans nothing! Don’t go to the studio ever again! You are the worst, yo! You are really, really bad!”

“And then when we think he can’t get any worse, you have the bright idea of doing an Ice Cube flip,” Budden continued. At this point, the former Slaughterhouse rapper explained that he took issue with Logic’s use of the N-word in the song. “Logic is just not himself. I just think that Logic should be himself. He panders to the Black community every other second,” he said. Well, that’s the problem with panders, is that they always gotta find something new to pander to.”

The Root Of Joe Budden’s Issue With Logic

Joe Budden had plenty to say about Logic’s cover of Ice Cube’s single. However, his issues with the Young Sinatra rapper go back to 2017 when Logic dropped, “1-800-273-8255.” “I thought that was disgusting, but I could have been wrong,” he explained. “But ever since then, all of that Martin Luther King, ‘We Have a Dream,’ freedom fighter speech shit he be trying to do, I don’t buy it. Now, I can be wrong in that.”

Budden concluded the segment by explaining that Logic’s attempt to connect with different fanbases so blatantly has turned him off from his music. The podcast host explained that it felt too contrived and perhaps, was more about providing Logic with an identity through his persona. “I don’t know where to begin with why I don’t buy it. I think that if you have to do so much pandering to make someone believe it, then I think you’re trying to make yourself believe it,” he said. Check out the latest episode of the Joe Budden Podcast above.  

Tom Brady Flexes His Massive Yacht

by

Tom Brady is officially a retired man. Although there are now rumors that he may go and play for the Miami Dolphins, there is no doubt that he is having a great time on his own. After 23 years in the NFL, it is about time that Brady just lives the good life. He is 45 years old, and now, he is even an eligible bachelor. Consequently, Brady should be begging for some time to himself. After all, what else does he have left to accomplish? He has won a total of seven Super Bowl titles, and there is nothing for him to prove to anyone.

Overall, Brady could go off and do anything he pleases. He recently told Fox Sports that he would only start for them in 2024. This means Brady has a year and a half left before he has any professional commitments. According to TMZ, Brady is taking advantage of this. The legendary NFL superstar was seen cruising the waters of Florida this week. In fact, he was doing so on his massive yacht, worth $6 million.

Tom Brady Living Life

According to the outlet, this yacht is called the Wajer 77. The name makes sense when you consider how it is a total of 77 feet long. Moreover, this entire yacht has room for nine guests if they were to sleep on the sees. Overall, it is quite the ship that Brady will definitely be enjoying over the coming years. Additionally, he has given it a very interesting name. The boat is called “Tw12ve Angels” which is a very obvious reference to the number he wore his entire career.

Whether or not Brady will go on any long-term sailing excursions, remains to be seen. However, Florida is definitely a great place for Brady to begin his boating journey. The Florida Keys are gorgeous, and with Spring and Summer on the horizon, he will have plenty of opportunities to get on the water. Let us know what you think of Brady’s yacht, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.

Belly Says His Next 3 Albums Will Be His Last

by

Belly says that he intends to retire after the release of his next three albums. The Canadian rapper explained his decision in a post on Twitter, last week. In it, he admits that the “industry has taken its toll” on him. Belly has released three studio albums during his career, but he’s found the most mainstream success through his songwriting. He’s co-written hits for The Weeknd, Beyoncé, and more. Among the songs he’s credited with is the 2019 single “Blinding Lights“, which eventually became the Billboard #1 Greatest Hot 100 Hit of All Time in 2021. Belly was named the Songwriter of the Year at the 2016 SOCAN Awards for his “significant and outstanding contributions to popular music over the past year.”

“I love yall with all my heart, sincerely, but this industry has taken it’s [sic] toll on me,” Belly wrote on Twitter on February 17. “MR2 will be the first of my last three albums ever. Mini tour for MR2 then a farewell tour after my next 2.” Belly didn’t provide any more information about the upcoming three albums nor did he reveal any tour information regarding when fans will be able to catch him for the last time.

Belly’s Announcement

“You have been an inspiration for all of us back home in Ottawa,” one account replied. “Hope we get to see you perform one last time. Can’t wait for the albums.” Another added: “Thank you for your incredible contributions to our very species. The common being may be oblivious to how far reaching your talents and creations have been but needless to say the best of you will echo in eternity. You are appreciated, Legend.” “We will be always grateful for the amazing music you gave us Belly!” one more fan wrote back.

Belly came onto the music scene in 2005 with the release of his debut mixtape, Death Before Dishonor: Vol. 1. He eventually signed with The Weeknd’s XO label back in 2015. In total, he’s released three studio albums, 11 mixtapes, and 24 singles. He’s also received writing credits on countless songs from The Weeknd including “Often,” “The Hills,” “Shameless,” “Earned It,” “Party Monster,” “False Alarm,” “Save Your Tears,” and more.

Tom Brady’s Immediate Retirement Plan Revealed

by

Everyone already knows by now that Tom Brady just retired from the game of football. On Wednesday morning, Brady took to his social media platforms with a message for his fans. Overall, it was a bittersweet one as Brady explained why it was time to hang up the cleats. “I know the process was a pretty big deal last time, so when I woke up this morning, I figured I’d just press record and let you guys know first,” Brady said. “I won’t be longwinded. You only get one super emotional retirement essay, and I used mine up last year, so really thank you guys so much to every single one of you for supporting me.”

Subsequently, fans have begun questioning what Brady will do next. After all, he has played in the NFL for 23 years. That is a very long time and he is probably used to everything that comes with being in the league. Unfortunately for Brady, he will have to unlearn some of his habits from the past. Although, it is important to note that Brady has a massive $37.5 million per year deal with Fox Sports waiting for him. One would assume it is a matter of time before he jumps in.

Tom Brady Moves On…

Gisele Bündchen Reacts To Tom Brady’s Announcement
