Lil Uzi Vert’s Bold Coachella Performance Has Social Media Users Split

by

Lil Uzi Vert is certainly no stranger to turning heads, and their latest appearance at Coachella was no exception. Yesterday, the hitmaker graced the stage at the California music fest, delivering hit after hit in a showstopping red fit. They rocked a bright red crop top with dramatic shoulder accents, which they paired with a pair of matching pants, red sneakers, and a Kelly Birkin bag. Unfortunately, however, not everyone was a fan. Countless social media users are weighing in on the bold look, and performance as a whole, and many aren’t feeling it.

Of course, much of this is due to the fact that Uzi’s look and onstage antics were a serious departure from what fans have come to expect from most rappers. It’s clear that Uzi’s feeling themself as of late, and is growing increasingly comfortable expressing themself to the fullest extent.

Lil Uzi Vert At Coachella

While many commenters are mostly concerned with Uzi’s outfit, others are outraged by some of their suggestive dance moves. At one point in the set, they dropped down to the floor and began humping the air. They’re facing similar criticism to that they received for last weekend’s set when they vogued onstage.

Luckily, several of Uzi’s fans are coming to their defense, and think the show was incredible. “What is Lil Uzi Vert doing at Coachella man we want 2016 Uzi back,” one critical Twitter/X user says of their performance. A supporter writes, “[THEY] SUCH A BADDIE.”

Usher Fans Hate His “Absurd” Puffer Hat

by

It goes without saying that Usher is a fashion icon, but one of his latest looks has fans riled up, to say the least. Earlier this week, the R&B performer popped out for an appearance on Posted on the Corner in Atlanta, rocking an oversized puffer snapback. After images of Usher in the hat surfaced online, social media users were quick to react, making it clear that they’re not here for it.

Usher paired the controversial piece with a bright blue sweater and a denim jacket, though it’s tough to focus on anything but the hat. It’s speculated to be from MMY (Maison Mihara Yasuhiro), though this is unconfirmed. While the beige version of the hat is sold out across various sites, a black version is currently going for up to $300.

Usher Pops Out In Interesting Hat

Sadly, most fans weighing in on Usher’s puffer hat agree that it’s a “no.” There are a few loyal fans who can appreciate the unconventional style, however, with some even asking about where they can get one of their own. Usher has yet to address the controversy, but he has posted several clips from his and the hat’s evening on his Instagram Story today.

“Usher really had on a puffer jacket SnapBack hat. That’s absurd,” one Twitter/X user says of the statement piece. Another simply writes, “Usher’s hat really pissed me off.” It’s to be seen whether or not he will address the hilarious outcry at any point, and if he’ll stand by his fashion choices.

Kim Kardashian Bikini Photos Have Us Pondering Why She’s Diving In Shallow Water

by

If we’re being honest, there’s nothing revolutionary about a new bikini photo from Kim Kardashian – the socialite did become famous from her sex tape with Ray J, after all. Still, she’s consistently posted her toned swimsuit body over the years and continues to look picture-perfect even into her 40s thanks to her tireless hours spent in the gym. On Wednesday (April 17), Kardashian’s Instagram followers got to swipe through a new photo dump captured on her Turks and Caicos vacation. The post is raising eyebrows, but likely not for reasons you might expect.

Rather than flaunting her bodacious bod on land in a tiny two-piece, the black-haired beauty was enjoying herself in the water, wearing black thong-cut bottoms and a white tank, tied to show her slim waist. In the second photo, Kardashian stands in water that’s only up to her knees but poses as if she’s diving into the shallow pool in front of her. Other images show the reality starlet fully submerged into the blue waves and ringing out her hair. Of course, trolls in the comments can only focus on one thing.

“Why is she diving in knee-deep water?” one person asked, earning thousands of likes. “Diving into less than 2 feet of water? Mother 😍,” another quipped. Elsewhere, others cracked jokes about the episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians, when Kim lost her diamond earring in the ocean and had a meltdown until it was luckily recovered by her little sister, Kylie Jenner.

Perhaps Kim Kardashian’s latest photo dump was a hint that she’s ready to “dive” back into the dating world. After a brief rumoured fling with NFL star Odell Beckham Jr., the mother of four is reportedly single again. Since divorcing Kanye West she also spent seven months romancing Pete Davidson but has yet to find a serious partner worth pursuing in the long-term.

Were Lil Baby & Dreezy At Coachella Together? Internet Investigators Think So

by

The first round of Coachella 2024 is complete. Headliners Lana Del Rey, Tyler, The Creator, and Doja Cat went above and beyond to entertain audiences. There’s still more to be enjoyed this coming weekend. Before that, social media sleuths are unpacking all the new content making its way onto Instagram. Specifically, some of them think that Lil Baby and Dreezy might be spending time together after they appeared to be at the same house while attending the festival.

On Monday (April 15), the My Turn artist shared a new photo dump from Coachella, captioned, “Told My Mama Ain’t No Mo Getting Put Out 🙌🏽.” Just hours later, Dreezy posted a video with a similar background to her IG Story, immediately raising eyebrows. “He was helping her with the groceries,” one user joked, referencing Lil Meech’s excuse when he was seemingly caught cheating on Summer Walker. “He like them dark skin and petite, it makes me sad but I respect it 😂,” another said, speculating what Baby’s type might be.

Interestingly, it was only a few days ago that the Atlanta-based star was outside with his co-parent, Jayda Cheaves. Those two have a notably rocky relationship history, with the influencer previously suggesting that giving Baby another chance to win her over left her feeling metaphorically “shot” from all the emotional turmoil she had to endure.

When it came time for them to address the gossip, both entertainers had something to say. “Same house, different days. Y’all be reaching [too] hard,” Lil Baby wrote beneath @theshaderoom’s post comparing his Coachella weekend one activities with Dreezy’s. Before that, she wrote, “🧢🧢🧢 Y’all are reaching!

Summer Walker’s New Man Accused Of Harassment, Revenge Porn, And More

by

Earlier this week, Summer Walker celebrated her birthday by making her relationship Instagram official, debuting her new man Coop Cashington with a sweet photo. Unfortunately, however, the performer’s fans had little time to be happy for her, as within hours, various women came forward. He’s now being accused of displaying controlling behavior, posting revenge porn, and harassment.

“This is the man that exposed me in 2015!!! Most of the s*** that’s out there of me is without my consent, I sent it to him and he posted it when I said I didn’t wana talk to him no more,” Twitter/X user @AnaSofaKingCoo wrote. “Omg this n**** is cr*zy & evil! Miss B Nasty had an issue with his a** too smh.” Miss B Nasty later responded, claiming that despite having never met Cashington in person, he told multiple women they were together.

“He was telling me he loved me and when I declined said he would pull up to my city and make me love him,” she explained. “He tells new models that we’ve dated and I’ve never met him… He’s locked models out of accounts. And runs accounts like he’s the model.” Back in 2021, another woman took to the platform to accuse Cashington of verbally assaulting her after she collaborated with someone else, even though they didn’t have an exclusive agreement. “He wants to keep every model to himself and tries to control all their social media and even tries to control their personal lives,” Miss B Nasty responded at the time. “I wish more people would speak up about his harassment and ‘stalker-ish’ p*mp ways.”

Needless to say, the women’s allegations against Cashington have Summer Walker’s fans concerned. Neither of them has responded to the accusations at the time of writing. What do you think of Summer Walker’s new man? What about various women coming forward to accuse him of harassment, controlling behavior, revenge porn, and more?

OJ Simpson Death Reactions Take Over Twitter/X

by

We were shocked to hear about the death of football legend OJ Simpson, as were millions of others across the globe. The 76-year-old was quietly battling cancer before he ultimately succumbed to the illness, and we even saw him making occasional appearances on Cam’ron and Mase’s It Is What It Is podcast. Simpson’s family says that he passed on Wednesday, “surrounded by his children and grandchildren” while also asking for privacy and grace from the world.

Unfortunately, due to Simpson’s shameless antics after being acquitted of Nicole Brown Simpson’s murder, people are having a hard time letting him rest easy. So far, social media posts about the athlete’s death are mostly joking about him being “dragged” to hell by his alleged victims, or crossing paths with other troubling figures who already might be spending time with Satan.

Plenty of iconic moments from Saturday Night Live are circulating online amid news of Simpson’s death, as well as a scene from Shrek 2 poking fun at the former NFLer’s infamous car chase. As expected, many people are taking the opportunity to laugh at the tragedy, but there are still those giving Simpson his flowers for all that he contributed to football.

“Did OJ Simpson kill two people? Yes Is he the only man to ever run for 2,000 yards in a 14-game season? Also yes, and that’s what really matters,” one Twitter/X user joked. “RIP OJ Simpson. I’m glad he no longer has to live in fear,” another quipped alongside a TMZ screenshot explaining that the acquitted murderer was fearful of spending time in Los Angeles in case he ran into the killer.

Latto’s Top 3 Female Rappers List Has Hip-Hop Heads Asking Questions

by

Latto’s love for rap dates back to when the world still knew her as Alyssa Stephens, and her skills as a lyricist and performer have only grown since then. Now that she’s a dominant force thanks to her 777 LP, and has collaborations with Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey, and Lil Wayne, it’s nice to see that the blonde beauty has done her homework. In a recent interview, Latto spoke about her top three femcees, though her answer has left more than a few people confused.

“Who are your top three females of all time in hip-hop?” the journalist conducting asked her guest from off camera. “Dead or alive?” Latto clarified, suggesting some of her biggest inspirations might no longer be with us. “[Lil’] Kim, gotta say Kim,” the “Wheelie” artist began. “Wait, my favourite? Or like, the best?” Stephens paused again before sharing her final two picks. “Imma say [Lisa] “Left Eye” [Lopes], rest in peace. Anddd, shawty,” Latto added at the end, leading many to assume she meant Nicki Minaj.

Latto’s Top Female MCs Include Left Eye and Lil’ Kim

Based on their past drama, it’s easy to understand why the reality starlet would be reluctant to mention the Queen of Rap by name. Still, with the success of her ongoing Pink Friday 2 Tour, it’s hard not to give Minaj props for all she’s accomplishing. Elsewhere, some are questioning what qualifies Left Eye as “the best,” but seeing as Latto performed with TLC in place of the late MC at the iHeartRadio Awards recently, we get why the tribute felt important to her.

Outside of rap, Latto has been boo’d up with a mystery beau (rumoured to be 21 Savage) for some time now but refuses to share her relationship with the public. No matter what the status of her relationship is, there are still plenty of other people who want a shot at the “Big Energy” hitmaker, including Shaboozey. Read what he had to say about Latto at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Jerrod Carmichael Race Play Joke Reactions Prove Social Media Isn’t Feeling Him Right Now

by

Many of today’s most popular comedians have relied on shock to sell tickets at one point or another. That’s exactly the era Jerrod Carmichael seems to be in this year. The filmmaker/entertainer debuted a new show on HBO earlier this spring, and the first episode quickly went viral thanks to an appearance from Tyler, The Creator. In that video, the rapper’s friend recalls admitting his feelings for the Flower Boy artist, sharing that a lack of reaction from Tyler left Carmichael in his feelings. Rather than comfort his friend, the former laughed in his face while reflecting on labelling him a “stupid b**ch” instead of addressing the emotion between them.

Now, the 37-year-old is trending online again after more controversy on his reality series. Earlier this week, Carmichael spoke about being in an interracial relationship. Apparently, he finds race play to be a fun way to connect with his partner. “I sometimes joke with him that our relationship is like that of a slave and the master’s son,” the North Carolina native told his uncomfortable audience.

Not only were those watching in person unsure what to think of Carmichael’s words, but the online community is also ripping him to shreds. “I don’t like Jerrod Carmichael simply because I can’t stand a Black person that acts like they don’t know how to read the room,” an upset viewer expressed. “We too skilled at that as a people to be playing into that kind of bulls**t. NEXT CALLER!”

“Jerrod Carmichael is a self-hating narcissist. He hated how Tyler didn’t validate his feelings and joked about it, [then] goes and [does] the same thing to his boyfriend???” one user on Twitter/X observed. “HBO can’t give us season 2 of ‘Watchmen’ and ‘Lovecraft Country’ because some White folks were uncomfortable,” another person pointed out. “Instead they give us JERROD CARMICHAEL admitting he likes playing a slave and sucking on White toes.” Read more social media reactions to the “joke” below, and check back in with HNHH later for more music/pop culture news updates.

Latto Performs With TLC, Social Media Shares Mixed Reactions

by

Beyonce was the starlet many were most excited to see at the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards as she took home the Innovator Prize from fellow icon Stevie Wonder. Still, the show had countless other pop culture crossovers, including a performance from TLC who surprised some viewers with the femcee they recruited to stand in for the late Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes. In the past, Lil Mama has been a top contender for the part after playing the fallen member in the 2013 biopic, Crazy Sexy Cool, about their come-up. However, this year, it was Latto who joined Chilli and T-Boz for renditions of the girl group’s biggest hits, “Waterfalls” and “No Scrubs.”

Big winners at the awards ceremony on Monday (April 1) include Taylor Swift (Best Artist), Morgan Wallen (Country Artist), SZA (R&B Artist, Album, and Song), Joshua Halling (Tour Photographer), Selena Gomez and Rema (Best Collaboration), and Latto took home Best Music Video for her work with Jungkook on “Seven.” As for performances, Justin Timberlake, Tate McRae, Green Day, and the evening’s host, Ludacris, were all on the roster. As per usual, viewers are sharing all of their thoughts on social media, and we’re seeing a lot of mixed reactions to the 777 hitmaker’s appearance.

Beyonce Unleashes “Cowboy Carter” Featuring Dolly Parton, Miley Cyrus, Post Malone & More: Fans React

by

Last night, Beyonce finally dropped her eagerly anticipated follow-up to Renaissance, Cowboy Carter. The project sees her fully embrace her country era, teaming up with some of the genre’s finest. Needless to say, fans are impressed, and sounding off on social media.

One highlight on the album is Beyonce and Miley Cyrus’ collaboration, “II Most Wanted.” Since its release, the track has already reached No. 1 on the U.S. iTunes songs chart. Post Malone also makes a notable appearance on “Levii’s Jeans,” which has quickly become a fan favorite. Icons like Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, and Linda Martell are also featured in interludes, an homage to some of the pioneers of country music.

Beyonce Delivers On Act II

Another major standout track is Beyonce’s cover of Parton’s 1973 hit, “Jolene.” She altered the structure of the song and changed up the lyrics, making this version totally her own. “Hey miss Honey B, it’s Dolly P. You know that hussy with the good hair you sing about?” Dolly says in an interlude before the song, referencing the explosive 2016 Lemonade track, “Sorry.”

Bey’s rendition also expands upon Parton’s “flaming locks of auburn hair” line, adding, “Just a hair of a different color but it hurts just the same.” She even takes things to the next level by issuing Jolene a “warning” instead of “begging” her to back off her man like in Parton’s original. Social media users are loving the project so far, and can’t wait to see her perform it live. Fans are especially eager to see a live Beyonce and Miley Cyrus duet, and a Tina Turner-inspired “Ya Ya” number.
