50 Cent Addresses Diddy & Cassie Settlement, Says He Wanted To Take Fif Shopping

by

50 Cent and Diddy’s strained relationship is one of New York’s pillars when it comes to the dynamics of their hip-hop landscape. Of course, since the former is such a troll, it feels like anything that the latter does eventually falls under his scrutiny. This case was much more serious, as it related to Cassie’s accusations of sexual and physical abuse against the Bad Boy mogul. While they reached a settlement very quickly, the G-Unit MC doesn’t think that this is the end of Sean Combs’ public retribution. Moreover, he took to Instagram to share his thoughts on this development and suggest what could follow it.

“LOL,” 50 Cent bluntly began his post’s caption, which was a screenshot of a news story covering Diddy’s settlement. “He paid that money real quick, should have done that before the sharks saw the blood in the water. And here they come in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 every woman he ever put his hand on.” This assessment is actually true in some ways, as this bombshell case caused many to dig up other confessions from Puff Daddy’s previous partners and a more critical look at his current circle.

50 Cent Reacts To Settlement In Sean Combs’ Case

In fact, one of these resurfaced comments about Diddy came straight from 50 Cent himself, although it’s more of a bizarre story. During an old interview, presumably a Drink Champs appearance, he told the alleged story of how Diddy once told him that he wanted to take him shopping. It’s unclear if the Queens rapper just thought that this was bizarre or if he took it as an invitation for him to be groomed or to be shown more than a good time. Still, it’s such a chaotic clip that it’s clear they didn’t think much of it in the moment, but Fif’s humor didn’t get in the way of him warning folks that Combs isn’t who he seems to be.

Fif’s Old Claim About Diddy Suggesting A Shopping Trip

Meanwhile, there’s also been a lot of conversation around the Love Album: Off The Grid artist’s alleged role in the death of Tupac. To no one’s surprise, 50 is pushing a lot of this narrative, too. We’ll see if his prediction that this will result in a wave of backlash and accountability turns out to be true. On that note, stay logged into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Diddy, Cassie, and 50 Cent.

Lil Uzi Vert Goes Shopping At Balenciaga After Hours

by

Lil Uzi Vert is an artist whom fans are always trying to hear from. Overall, they have had a humongous year. A lot of this has to do with the release of The Pink Tape. Although this album led to a lot of polarization, there are a lot of fans out there who are still very much rocking with Uzi. At the end of the day, it is one of those albums that showcases just how unique they are. Even if you don’t like the tape, you cannot help but marvel at some of the creative risks that were taken.

As it stands, Lil Uzi Vert is working on Barter 16. This album has been described as a Young Thug tribute of sorts. Unfortunately, there has been a lot of confusion around the project. One day, Uzi claims it will drop in two weeks. The next day, it is revealed that the album still isn’t finished and that leakers have ruined the release. It has been a frustrating rollout for fans, and it seems like the frustration is only going to continue, moving forward.

Recently, Lil Uzi Vert took to the Balenciaga store, where they did some after-hours shopping. Overall, this is far away from the studio. Consequently, some fans may feel like they are not taking the album seriously. However, sometimes, it is good to get in some retail therapy during a stressful time. After all, they let Uzi shop in the store after it had already closed. It is rare that people get that kind of access, so they were likely looking to take full advantage.

As for the album, no one actually knows what they have in store for us. People are expecting the album to sound a lot like Young Thug, which is definitely promising. Let us know your expectations for this new project, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the music world.

by

Rihanna and ASAP Rocky went out together on a shopping trip in Los Angeles on Friday. For the evening, Rihanna rocked a white short bodycon dress accented by a pair of white sunglasses and silver hoop earrings. She also brought along a snake-skin patterned handbag. Rocky, on the other hand, went with a black leather jacket and dark sunglasses. The public appearance comes as Rihanna is pregnant with the couple’s second child.

Rihanna and Rocky welcomed their first child back in 2022. They avoided publically revealing their son’s name for a year before it was eventually reported to be RZA. They later confirmed the reports to be true and that their son is named after the Wu-Tang Clan legend.

RZA, the rapper, described Rocky and Rihanna going with his name as a “great honor” during a recent interview with CNN. “[It’s] a great honor to know that there’s another generation that’s not even of my own household that feels the strength and the inspiration of that name,” he told the outlet. “RZA isn’t only a name, it’s a title. So it’s an honor and I salute her and ASAP and their family. All the blessings in the world from me.”

As the couple awaits the arrival of baby number two, Rocky recently called Rihanna his “wife” during a live performance at Spotify Beach at Cannes Lions in June. Us Weekly reported afterward that the two have discussed the idea of tying the knot. “They’ve talked about getting married down the line,” a source told the outlet at the time. “[They] both think of each other as the one they’re going to spend the rest of their life with.” Check out pictures from Rihanna and ASAP Rocky’s recent shopping trip here.

Jonathan Majors And Meagan Good Spotted Rug Shopping

by

Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good have reportedly been dating since mid-May. A source revealed to TMZ that the pair had been spotted at LA’s Alamo Drafthouse during the weekend of May 6. On May 21, it was reported that the two had been seen holding hands while boarding a flight in New York City. Furthermore, on May 24, the rumored couple was seen eating at a Red Lobster with Good’s family. Most recently, the pair were spotted shopping for pottery in Fez, Morocco in early June.

However, the alleged relationship has received a cold reception from fans. Many people are viewing it as a PR move to mitigate Majors’ current legal issues. The 33-year-old actor is currently facing charges in New York for the alleged assault of his then-girlfriend in late March. While Majors has denied the allegations and his lawyer has claimed it’s a racially-motivated “witch hunt”, the legal proceedings are currently moving forwards. Majors is expected back in court on June 13.

Majors And Good Spotted On Another Shopping Trip

According to Page Six, Majors and Good have been spotted on another home decor shopping trip. The pair were seen at Modern Rugs, a designer company in Los Angeles. The company’s products wildly vary in price. However, some items in their “designer collection” can cost $13,500. It’s unclear whether Majors and Good made a purchase during their trip. Both actors were dressed casually and appeared in good spirits. Representatives for both individuals declined to comment when approached by Page Six.

However, it does raise some interesting questions. It’s two shopping trips in two weeks. Majors has met Good’s family. Does this mean the couple is settling down, or at the very least, moving in together? Neither individual has officially confirmed the relationship but it seems that every week, the gossip outlets have proof of another date. Furthermore, as mentioned, the last two dates they have been spotted on have been buying decorative items for the home. Obviously, this is just purely speculative but who knows? Despite this, expect more updates as the couple continues be seen and Majors heads back to court this week.

Five Best Air Jordan Sneakers For Under Retail

by

If you are a fan of Air Jordan, then the last few years have been simply amazing. It feels like the brand has increased its efforts to bring out new colorways and retros. Consequently, there are always plenty of great releases to talk about. However, it is also true that these models come with a considerable amount of hype. As a result, a lot of these shoes end up on the resale market and are impossible to cop at retail. Although, some great silhouettes slip through the cracks and can be found under their MSRP. This list is dedicated to the Air Jordan offerings that fit that description.

Air Jordan 5 “Aqua”

One of the best releases of the past year has certainly been the Air Jordan 5 “Aqua.” Overall, this is a shoe that is very easy to like. Firstly, it has that nice black suede base that creates a solid foundation. Secondly, we get some light blue and yellow aesthetics all the way throughout. These elements come together to form a shoe that pays homage to the Air Jordan 8. For the summer, these are going to go hard on the court.

AJ 12 “Black Taxi”

When it comes to the Jordan 12 “Black Taxi,” you cannot go wrong. As a whole, this is a shoe that contains very basic elements. However, when you put these elements together you get a shoe that is truly special. From the black leather all over the upper to the gold highlights, this is a shoe that has some flash to it. If you are a fan of black and gold Jordans, these are going to be an absolute must-cop.

Air Jordan 1 “Heirloom”

One of the more lowkey releases from 2022 was the Air Jordan 1 “Heirloom.” This is a shoe that has some unique neutral colors to it. Despite this, it still flashes in its own unique way. Firstly, we get the black canvas base which goes from the toe box to the side panels. From there, the shoe has tan leather all the way around it. Overall, it is a cool color scheme that is grossly underrated.

Air Jordan 7 “Afrobeats”

This Air Jordan 7 “Afrobeats” offering was one of the biggest surprises of 2022. Unfortunately, it fell victim to a lack of hype surrounding the Jordan 7. No matter, however, as this amazing shoe is currently going for under retail. If there is any shoe you should check out, it is this one. From the tan leather upper to the purple and gold highlights, this is a model that is truly unique. In a time where some designs have grown stagnant, Jordan Brand continues to innovate.

Jordan 5 “Mars For Her”

Last but not least, we have the Air Jordan 5 “Mars For Her.” As the name suggests, this model is a women’s exclusive. This is a shoe that immediately pops out thanks to the bright red suede all over the upper. Moreover, this shoe has some orange and red that create a flame effect on the black midsole. Lastly, the sneaker has that iconic silver 3M tongue that the Jordan 5 is synonymous with.

Allen Iverson discussed his style with GQ Sports for the outlet’s inaugural Style Hall of Fame issue, recalling a time he went jewelry shopping with Diddy and The Notorious B.I.G.

When asked about his personal style, the legendary NBA star explained, “It was built over time. I know it had a lot to do with the dudes that I grew up with. All throughout my life—and it still goes on today—we compete with dressing. Still.”

Later in the interview, he recalled getting his first NBA paycheck.

“I remember my teammates [at Georgetown] were telling me, ‘When you get your league money, maybe you gone get some jewelry like Pac got,’” he told the outlet.

He continued: “Pac had the Rolex and all that. Puff was another muhfucka I admired. The swag, how cool he was, the way he is and how big he got. We was using the same jeweler, Manny the Jeweler. I went with him and Big. We in there, getting whatever. But I’m using checks. I just remember Big using goddamn cash. Big-ass knots, know what I mean? He’s standing, he got on jean shorts, and you can see the big-ass muhfuckin’ knots in his goddamn pants. Pac was getting his stuff from Manny’s too. I actually bought the same ring that Pac had bought at Manny’s. And I remember seeing Puff one time after that, and he was like, ‘Whatchu doin’ with all my chains on?’ I’m like, ‘Now I can get in there and get busy like you can.’”

He also mentioned looking up to the members of Wu-Tang Clan.

Iverson played in the league for 14 seasons from 1996-2010. He won the NBA Most Valuable Player award in 2001.

Mall Of America Shooting Causes Lockdown, Results In One Death

by

A gunman opened fire at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota last afternoon (December 23rd). Authorities quickly locked the shopping center down and maintained it closed for the night after they lifted the lockdown. The perpetrator of tragic shooting took the life of an unidentified 19-year-old. Police reported no further casualites. Also, the identity of the perpetrator is unknown as well.

Bloomington Police responded at around 8:17 p.m. to reported shots fired. Some social media clips display people hiding in stores, with rumors suggesting that the shooter was near Nordstroms. Reportedly, two groups of men had an altercation and fired bullets, several of which fatally struck a young male. Mall of America security and the Bloomington Police Department released a joint statement on the incident:

“Just before 8 p.m. this evening, Bloomington Police Department responded to a shooting contained in a tenant space.” They locked the shopping center down and, once lifted, kept the mall closed for the evening.

This is the second shooting and lockdown of this year at the shopping center following August’s incident outside a Nike store. Moreover, back in October, the mall installed new metal detectors after a New Year’s Eve incident left two people injured from gunshot wounds.

Meanwhile, TMZ reported that several members of the New York Giants were present at the time of the shooting. Furthermore, they will play the Minnesota Vikings later tonight (December 24th). All members are safe, according to Giants PR representative Pat Hanlon.

“Everyone is back in the hotel and accounted for now,” he told AP.

However, the number and identity of said players is unknown. Longtime Giants radio announcer Bob Papa was also present at the shooting, and shared updates with followers via Twitter. Authorities and media figures have revealed no further information at the moment. Still, it’s likely that more reactions and explanations will come forth in the near future as community members cope.

“Scary here @mallofamerica,” he tweeted. “Shooting in mall. On lockdown at #TwinCitiesGrill. Two gunmen at least one victim.” After, he added “Safely out of mall and back at hotel. Prayers to victim.”

Although most shoppers were able to escape unharmed, such a tragedy is a painful development during the holiday season. It’s just a few days before many celebrations of joy and togetherness. Still, this is a developing story, and one that has unfortunately become far too common in the news cycle. Stay tuned to HNHH for the latest updates, and stay safe with your loved ones this holiday season.
