Diddy Wants To Sell DeLeón Tequila “Door To Door” Amid Diageo Lawsuit

by

Despite Diddy being a certified business mogul, not all of his endeavors end up panning out perfectly, but he still picks himself back up. For those unaware, the Bad Boy boss recently had a falling out with the UK spirits brand Diageo, accusing them of being “racist” when managing his liquors (Cîroc vodka and DeLeón tequila). Moreover, Sean Combs recently appeared in an ad for the latter, stating that the bottle isn’t going anywhere. Not only that, but he referenced his life experiences and said that he will sell it “door-to-door” if he has to. Furthermore, the promotional video appeared on his Instagram page and features him in Harlem giving bottles to local businesses.

“I grew up as a paper boy,” Diddy says in the clip. “That means I would go door to door. So that’s the only way I know how to hustle. I’m going to make DeLeón Tequila number one. Because I’m going to get up every morning at six in the morning and I’m gonna go door to door. And, I’m not going to let nothing or nobody stop me. And neither should you. Let’s go.

Diddy Promotes DeLeón Tequila Amid Liquor Brand’s Rivalry

“I come from New York and I stand behind my product,” Puff Daddy continued. “I was a paper boy. I would go door to door with my hustle. That’s what I’m out here doing. I’m selling a product I believe in. Thank ya’ll for the support. I love ya’ll.” In the video’s caption, he alluded to his current struggles. “Let nothing or nobody stop you,” Diddy wrote. Regardless of his efforts, his lawsuit against Diageo will still be quite the contentious and difficult affair, from what it seems. The company owns over 200 liquor brands, with many of these being celebrity brands.

Meanwhile, the 53-year-old alleged in his suit that Diageo’s North America division “starved Combs’ Cîroc vodka and DeLeón tequila brands of resources.” “Cloaking itself in the language of diversity and equality is good for Diageo’s business, but it is a lie,” the complaint reads. The brand denied his claims, alleged that he didn’t contribute enough monetarily to the partnership, and that he violated his contracts. With that in mind, stay posted on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Diddy.

Chief Keef Fan Dumpster Dives To Sell His Used Double Cups On eBay

by

When it comes to hip-hop fanbases, few groups are as die-hard as Chief Keef’s. The Chicago rap pioneer’s influence is still omnipresent, and fans are always waiting for his next musical moves. However, others are more opportunistic and see dollar signs where the MC himself just sees some dirty cups. Moreover, a fan gathered a few of his used double styrofoam cups and put them up for sale on eBay. They must really “Love Sosa,” as many have joked, but the price is no laughing matter. The bid started at $425, and rose all the way to over $10K.

What’s more is that even a video was captured of the snatch, with the seller literally dumpster diving for TikTok (fortunately, there wasn’t a lot of trash in there). Interestingly, this is actually their second attempt at selling the cups on the platform, as eBay took the original listing down, which reached $15K bids. Presumably, the website did not appreciate the drug-related items appearing on their storefront. Still, the new listing states that they’re not related to substances at all. For those who saw the video of Chief Keef pulling up to a dumpster in his Scooby-Doo-themed Lamborghini, they can identify the cap.

Chief Keef Fan Goes The Extra Mile For His Double Cups

Regardless, this is just one of many examples of Sosa fans going hard for him in wild and bizarre contexts. For example, a recent video of a man getting arrested had a pretty funny Easter egg in there for Chief Keef fanatics. As policemen handcuffed him, he boasted about the fact that he had just gotten out of jail on bond, and will happily do it again. “‘But I’m bonding right out, I ain’t broke,’” he rapped during the incident, which are lyrics from his classic hit “Earned It.” “‘N***as ain’t getting no money, it ain’t a joke.’” On the other hand, even stars like Gervonta Davis give the “Racks Stuffed Inna Couch” MC his flowers.

Meanwhile, other more famous fans of the 27-year-old sometimes reach him, and other times fail to do so. Adin Ross recently tried to get him to play Minecraft with him to no avail. He’s more elusive than you’d think, hence why fans would dumpster dive for his belongings. For the latest news and updates on Chief Keef, come back to HNHH.

Fan Selling Playboi Carti’s Chewed Gum From Rolling Loud For $40K

by

Hopefully this is one of those April Fool’s pranks that the perpetrator deletes the very next day. A fan is selling chewed gum that allegedly belonged to Playboi Carti at Rolling Loud for $40,353.67, a hilariously specific amount for a hilariously unbelievable product. To be fair, Carti shows are typically as wild as they can get, and so the image of the Whole Lotta Red star spitting gum on a fan isn’t totally incredulous. Still, many took the opportunity to clown the hustler- and clown the rapper’s fanbase as a whole. What’s more is that people also blasted the $14 shipping cost, as if it makes a significant dent in a $40K investment.

Furthermore, Playboi Carti’s recent set at Rolling Loud Miami included teases of new music coming soon. Not only that, but Lil Uzi Vert also teased that they might drop something together soon, which got a lot of fans incredibly hopeful. After all, their frequent collaborations and teased joint album captured the minds of many, yet never came at the apex of its speculation. Since then, both went on to do great things in their respective careers, and after drifting apart, they seem to have reconnected.

Playboi Carti’s Alleged Chewed Gum Up For Sale

However, the “Stop Breathing” MC is also facing a significant public reckoning at the moment, despite his lack of social media presence. For example, the hip-hop world expressed shock and conflicted feelings upon the news of his December arrest for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend. After his ex Iggy Azalea further dug at his questionable behavior, fans were confused as to his future and what his side of the story is. Without a statement or acknowledgement (whose necessity is also debated), fans can only reckon with what police reports indicate and hold his music in that context.

Despite that controversy, hype and excitement for the next stage in Playboi Carti’s career is still strong. Moreover, he reportedly rented out all sessions in a Manhattan studio, which led fans to believe he’s fully in album mode. Given so many teases about it, only time will tell, but fans seem more ready than ever. If they weren’t, maybe that Rolling Loud attendee wouldn’t hold on to that old chewed piece of gum. Regardless, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Playboi Carti.

Lil Pump Gifts Fan Shoes Off His Feet, Kid Tries To Sell Them For $1,000

by

As generous as artists may want to be with their fans, kind hearts can’t stop the hustlers. Lil Pump recently took his shoes off his feet and gave them to a fan, who immediately tried to sell them for a grand. While we don’t know whether he was joking, we also don’t know how much Pump cared about the Air Forces he gifted them. After all, he does have a lot of shoes, but one rapper’s trash is another kid’s potential hustle.

Moreover, the “Esketit” rapper touched down at the 2023 Sneaker Con on January 7 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. In a video posted to his Instagram, Lil Pump showed the lucky fan’s excited reaction. When Pump offered him the Air Force 1s, the fan asked how much he had to pay, but the 22-year-old said it was all good. Also, the fan wanted to give Pump his Jordans, but he decided to just walk around with socks on instead. What’s more is that the rapper also signed the sneakers for him.

“I’m not even trying to sell it or make it a joke,” the fan said, “I’m gonna put these in my room.” However, in another TikTok video, the kid offers them for a thousand dollars, whether jokingly or not.

“You know, I’m in the line,” he started. “I’m like ‘Yo, Lil Pump, let me get your shoes, let me buy them off you.’ You know what he said? He said ‘I got you,’ gave me them for free, signed them. ‘February 1st,’ you already know.” Moreover, he was pointing at Pump’s signature, which had a scrawl next to his name.

“So if you want this, one grand, one grand,” he said before the video ends. However, right before it cuts out, a confused person in the background says “February?”

While it is confusing, it made for a pretty funny cut. Overall, maybe the kid isn’t serious, but Pump is nice to his fans regardless. Also, it’s not like he walked around the venue barefoot for much longer, as he bought some new kicks.
