Rihanna’s Home Swarmed By Police As Intruder Tries To Propose To Her

by

Rihanna is one of the most popular artists in the entire world. Overall, she has been making a massive comeback from a purely musical perspective. For instance, she was the halftime performer at the Super Bowl. Moreover, she performed her song for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever at the Oscars. Needless to say, everything is going well for the artist these days. She is also pregnant with her second child with A$AP Rocky. On all fronts, Rihanna seems to be doing great, which is amazing to see.

Unfortunately, some people are attempting to disturb her peace. According to TMZ, a man from South Carolina flew out to Los Angeles in an attempt to meet the singer. As the story goes, the man went up to Rihanna’s house and tried to get in. However, security was right there to greet him. When asked about his intentions, he claimed that he wanted to propose to the singer. Clearly, that was never going to be successful, but he tried it regardless.

The security subsequently called police officers who rushed over to the home. From there, they took the man away but eventually released him. Ultimately, the man had not broken any laws, which led to his aforementioned release. While some may find this response by police to be underwhelming, it is fairly in line with what we have seen from these types of cases, in the past. As for Rihanna and her role in all of this, it has yet to be reported whether or not she was home at the time of the intrusion.

Unfortunately, the legendary artist has been subjected to these kinds of invasions before. Back in 2018, Rihanna was away from her home when a man named Eduardo Leon was found inside of the house. He was promptly arrested after telling police that he wanted to have sex with the singer. Thankfully, security was there to make sure this most recent incident didn’t go further than it did.

6ix9ine Makes Surprising Decision In Regards To His Security

by

If you have been following the news lately, then you certainly know about what happened to 6ix9ine earlier this week. As we reported, the rapper was at an LA Fitness in Florida when he was approached by a group of men. Subsequently, these men decided to attack him, seemingly unprovoked. Overall, it was a fairly vicious beatdown that was completely caught on camera. Following the brawl, 6ix9ine suffered bruises all over his face. Moreover, his face was all swollen and there were numerous gashes.

In the aftermath of the attack, the artist was placed in a storage room in the gym. That is when the employees decided to call the police, as well as paramedics. Once 6ix9ine was taken to the hospital, he was fixed up and promptly released. At this point, the police are still trying to find the men who executed the attack. Even 6ix9ine’s lawyer Lance Lazzaro wants in, claiming that he will be contacting the feds to make sure 6ix9ine remains protected. Needless to say, it is quite the situation.

6ix9ine Won’t Be Living In Fear

According to TMZ, however, the rapper has no plans to up his security. Based on sources close to the artist, it has become clear that 6ix9ine just wants to live his life like a civilian. It is a fairly bold choice when you consider how the rapper put numerous men in jail for a very long time. Fans have theorized that Tekashi would be a target. Regardless, the artist has completely ditched his security and has made it clear that this incident will not be prompting him to rehire them. While this may come as a surprise, it is fairly in line with 6ix9ine’s way of thinking over the years.

In terms of music, it remains to be seen what 6ix9ine’s plans are. While he has dropped sporadically over the years, he is nowhere near as consistent as he was back in 2018. That said, perhaps now is the time for him to drop a song. His name is finally in the news again, which has always been his ultimate goal. Stay tuned to HNHH for more news from the hip-hop world.

Ice Spice’s Rolling Loud Set Was Nearly Crashed By A Wild Fan: Watch

by

One of the year’s first big music festivals, Rolling Loud California, has run its course for another season, providing hip-hop lovers with plenty of unforgettable performances this past weekend. Friday’s (March 3) headliner, Playboi Carti, teased fans with a preview of music he has yet to release, though his set unfortunately ended early after someone in the crowd was injured. The next night, Travis Scott was in a similar situation as his performance was cut off at 11 PM, after just 30 minutes of his singing.

Thankfully, special guest Lil Wayne was taking over another Rolling Loud stage at the same time, and he brought some old friends along with him. 2 Chainz, who was also on this year’s lineup, joined the Louisana native to rap some of their past collaborations, and Gudda Gudda also came through to assist with “Bed Rock.” Of course, the YMCMB track wouldn’t be complete without Nicki Minaj, who stepped out to entertain audiences with a few throwbacks and new releases of her own.

On Sunday (March 5), the festival had an impressive closing roster of artists, including Central Cee, Shenseea, Moneybagg Yo, Lil Uzi Vert, and Future. Tory Lanez was also on the day’s lineup but was obviously unable to fulfill his commitment as he’s in jail. Thankfully, Rolling Loud was able to recruit Ice Spice to perform instead, and boy did patrons show out for her before she took the stage.

Unsurprisingly, there were some overzealous audience members in attendance. During the Bronx-born lyricist’s set, one, in particular, caused a spectacle as he attempted to charge the stage. In a clip from TMZ, the fellow redhead pleads on his knees, waving his arms in the air. “Spice, Spice!!!” he excitedly yells before running and being immediately blocked by numerous security guards.

The rest of the 23-year-old’s show went on without a hitch, and many social media users are discussing how she had one of the most packed audiences at the festival, despite many dubbing her a “one-hit wonder” in the weeks after “Munch (Feelin’ U)” blew up online. If there’s one thing that yesterday’s performance made certain, it’s that the rising rap diva isn’t going anywhere, and she’s only getting better.

Drake’s Ex-Bodyguard Opens Up About Working With Him

by

Drake’s ex-bodyguard Mike Van Wyck recently opened up about his working relationship with him and what he was like. Moreover, Mike recently appeared on Money Buys Happiness and spoke on working with the 6 God for six years. Overall, he expressed that the biggest lesson he learned was an admiration for the Canadian star’s insane work ethic.

“I thought I had work ethic and I do,” Van Wyck expressed. “I guess if you ask people about me, I do work hard, I don’t really take days off and kinda of just grind all the time. But, to see a guy at that level — watch them go out night after night — especially on tours and perform, it’s robotic. In a very positive way. Not in a negative way.

“It’s engrained,” he said of Drake’s diligence. “This showmanship. This person, the person becomes on stage and how they perform from show to show — you could probably run the shows overlapping each other and it would look the same. There is that much consistency to it and you’d figure like someone that’s doing that kind of work would have a night off.

“I’m watching this person do this every night and to see the looks on these faces and to understand that level of work ethic and that level of consistency is pretty wild to see, in person” he concluded.

Meanwhile, he also shared a bit of backstory on how he first met the 36-year-old. “I had a connection to the group through 40. So, 40 and me went to the same camp when we were younger. We didn’t hang out at camp because we had different crews, but we knew who each other were. When I was just living my life and I would see stuff about Drake coming up. They would always mention this 40 guy and I was like that’s f***ing Noah.”

Also, Van Wyck expressed that Drizzy’s “always been a very supportive person in my life — supported me no matter what. He’s a really good dude.”

Still, what did you think of Drake’s ex-bodyguard’s reflections on their time together? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments and check out the full interview down below. Also, as always, come back to HNHH for more curious stories and moments of gratitude in the hip-hop game.

6ix9ine Receives Luxury Apartment Ban After Security Gets Careless With Assault Weapons

by

For 6ix9ine, life never seems to be easy. The New Yorker is no stranger to trouble. From feuding with other rappers to going ghost on his own legal team without paying them, he always seems to be in the middle of some drama. Now, he’s in hot water once again – this time for allowing his guards to get careless with their assault weapons during his stay at a Miami condo.

As TMZ reports, the “GOOBA” artist is receiving a ban from a boujee apartment complex down south. While in Florida, he typically crashes with Nelk Boys member SteveWillDoIt at his SLS Lux Property residence. After seeing how his entourage acts, however, the building’s association promptly shut that down.

A letter obtained by the outlet states that 6ix9ine came for a visit at the end of October. With him was a collection of bodyguards, who were openly carrying assault weapons with them.

Furthermore, one of the security staffers is said to have “casually left his assault weapon on his bag.” Afterward, he “walked away from it briefly to talk with others.” Understandably so, this is cause for major concern.

The documents additionally note that the condo board is “aware of the bounty placed on 6ix9ine’s life in exchange for information regarding others and [his own] provocative antics” following his prison stint.

At the end of the day, the association feels as though having the 26-year-old in the vicinity creates a “dangerous situation for its residents, guests, employees, and staff members.”

TMZ has clarified that it’s unclear if unsafe things were occurring during 6ix9ine’s stays. However, they did obtain a video of someone with a gun waiting for the controversial celebrity outside.

In happier news, Tekashi caused a serious stir online earlier this month. Surprisingly, photos of him proposing in Dubai appeared online. Read more about that here, and check back later for more hip-hop news updates.

Jack Harlow Fan Rushes Rapper On Stage

by

Between singing, dancing, and partying, concerts are poised for wild nights. However, they can also be a place for bad decisions that some people can’t stop themselves from making. Rushing a stage almost always ends at least somewhat badly for the fans involved, and often, it’s downright embarrassing.

Playboi Carti listeners remember the time when a fan tried his luck going fisticuffs with the “Magnolia” rapper before being tackled off stage by Carti’s finest security linebackers. Luckily, when a woman rushed Jack Harlow’s stage recently, things didn’t end as violently.

Harlow initially looked jump-scared, but he didn’t seem overly frazzled. Security was slow to respond as Harlow attempted to keep the fan at arm’s length. After receiving the surprise visit, security gently pulled her away.

Fans found this moment of the concert especially amusing, in large part due to the bars the rapper was spitting at the time. Jack was performing “Industry Baby” and was in the midst of singing the lyrics: “And these girls know that I’m nasty, I sent her back to her boyfriend with my handprint on her a** cheek.”

Jack Harlow has developed a reputation for being one of the smoothest artists in hip-hop, so it’s no surprise he handles random encounters like these so well. He rarely has unpleasant interactions with fans and is even known to bring lucky fans from the audience up on stage with him during his concerts.

All things considered, the woman probably made a smart choice to rush Mr. Harlow over any other artist. Check out the clip below.
