Cardi B & Offset Divorce Reports Leave Social Media Users Split

by

Earlier this week, Offset was spotted alongside his ex Pretty Redz at a casino, prompting cheating rumors to run rampant. He quickly took to social media to address the debacle, suggesting that he was faithful to his wife of seven years, Cardi B. “Shorty ain’t my shorty,” he said simply, though his statement did little to quell fans’ suspicions.

Now, Page Six reports that Cardi B has filed for divorce from the former Migos member. A source who spoke with the outlet claims that these latest cheating rumors are unrelated to her decision. “They’ve grown apart. That’s what drove her to this decision more than anything else,” they explained. “This is something she wants to do.” Reportedly, she is seeking primary custody of their two children, Kulture and Wave.

Cardi B Files For Divorce From Offset, According To Reports

The news also arrived shortly after photos of Cardi B sporting what appears to be a baby bump surfaced online. The rapper has been at the center of pregnancy rumors for months now, though this might be the most convincing hint yet. Despite ongoing speculation, Cardi has yet to address the photos, making theories that she’s expecting unconfirmed for the time being.

Amid all of these major developments, social media users have been sounding off on X, weighing in on the current situation of the high-profile (former) pair. While many are happy for Cardi B for doing what she thinks is best, others can’t help but feel sorry for everyone involved, particularly considering rumors that she may have a baby on the way. Some also point out that this is the second time she’s reportedly filed for divorce, so things have the potential to change.

King Combs Gets Ripped To Shreds For Upcoming LL Cool J Remake

by

Despite Diddy’s ongoing legal issues, his son King Combs has been hard at work on new music. Unfortunately, however, not all of it has been well received. Earlier this week, the 26-year-old took to Instagram to preview a song he has on the way with Cash Cobain, which samples LL Cool J’s 2002 hit “Luv U Better.” The 90s-inspired teaser shows a party scene featuring Combs’ girlfriend Raven Tracy, and several others taking shots. He took a more explicit approach to the reimagined track, switching the lyrics “I’m gone love you better” to “I’m gone f*ck you better.”

Combs also used some bars from Fabolous’ 2009 “Throw It In The Bag (Remix)” featuring Drake, though he made some small changes to his verse. “If my lady like to eat Imma buy her restaurants/ And she such a boss b*tch she can hire who she want/ She can help me blow this za — she the fire to my blunt,” he raps, for example. He used the term “za” in the remake while Fabolous used “green” in the original.

Social media users were quick to call Combs out, accusing him of being unoriginal and insisting that the iconic track should have been left alone. “All he does is sample songs horribly,” one Instagram user writes in The Shade Room‘s comments section. “If I was already rich I wouldn’t even try to rap and embarrass myself like this lol smh,” another adds. “We already lived through this era, create your own,” someone else says.

Beyonce’s New Wax Figure Leaves Fans Confused: “That’s Becky”

by

It goes without saying that replicating Beyonce with wax would be a pretty tough feat. Recently, however, the Grévin Museum in Paris has earned a great deal of backlash for what fans think is a wildly off-base depiction of the icon. They unveiled the new wax figure earlier today. Social media users were quick to call them out, accusing them of whitewashing the multi-hyphenate.

“Baby that’s Addison Rae,” one Instagram user writes in The Neighborhood Talk‘s comments section. “That’s Becky not Beyonce,” someone else jokes. Others are questioning why the figure’s skin tone was made lighter than the actual Bey’s, and have been reminded of similar instances involving other celebrities. Last year, for example, the same museum unveiled a wax figure of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, which some thought more closely resembled Mr. Clean.

Grévin Museum Unveils New Beyonce Wax Figure

The Rock himself responded to the uproar, revealing that he and his team planned to reach out to the museum to ask them to change some “important details,” including his skin color. The museum ended up fixing the wax figure, and acknowledging that it was “indeed whiter than it should have been.” According to them, the mistake was made due to the reference photo they chose to use, and how “tricky” lighting can be sometimes. It’s unclear whether or not Beyonce plans to do something similar. She’s yet to address the debacle at the time of writing.

Back in 2017, Madame Tussauds also displayed a Beyonce wax figure that led to a tremendous amount of criticism. Again, fans demanded a “re-do,” insisting that both her features and skin tone were not being accurately portrayed. The museum later announced that the figure’s styling and lighting would be “adjusted.” What do you think of the Grévin Museum’s new Beyonce wax figure? What about social media users’ reactions to it?

Drake’s New Wax Figure Unveiled At Madame Tussauds New York

by

It’s no secret that Drake’s been making headlines a lot these days for various different reasons. The hitmaker was wrapped up in a heated lyrical battle with Kendrick Lamar in recent months, for one, which nearly everyone had an opinion on. This included Rick Ross, who was just beaten down by a few alleged Drake fans in Vancouver over the weekend. Drizzy has yet to officially address the debacle, though he did look relatively unbothered last night celebrating Canada Day alongside Kevin Durant.

Of course, his current virality makes him a perfect candidate for Madame Tussauds, recently prompting the NYC museum to unveil a brand-new Drake wax figure. Reportedly, they also just revamped the museum portion of the museum, which the unveiling was part of. He’s depicted wearing a khaki jacket and jeans, positioned alongside the likes of Beyonce, Harry Styles, and more.

Drake Wax Figure Sparks Debate

As expected, the new wax figure has prompted mixed reactions among social media users, who are weighing in under a post by Baller Alert. While some think the artist behind the portrayal nailed it, others think it could use some work. Many even argue that it more closely resembles other artists, like French Montana or Bad Bunny. “Aubrey Montana,” one fan jokes. “Close enough,” someone else says.

This is far from the first time one of Madame Tussauds’ figures sparked a debate among social media users, however. Earlier this month, they unveiled a wax figure of Rihanna, which left fans similarly split. Some insist that it’s a spitting image of the Fenty icon, while others think that something went terribly wrong. What do you think of Madame Tussauds New York unveiling a new Drake wax figure? How does it look? Did they nail it or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Drake Gets Ripped To Shreds For Posing With Hookah Hose In His Mouth

by

It goes without saying that it’s been an incredibly rough couple of months for Drake. The Toronto hitmaker was involved in one of the most viral rap feuds of the year, after all, and went up against Kendrick Lamar and several others. Most agree that Kendrick came out on top, and shortly after the fallout of the lyrical battle settled, he reignited things with a show in LA. Kendrick performed his Drake diss tracks for the first time live, surrounded by countless fans and peers. He’s even gearing up to drop a music video for one of the most explosive tracks of the entire beef, “Not Like Us,” which he filmed in Compton over the weekend.

Amid all of this, Drizzy has kept a fairly low profile. He appears to be laying low intentionally, aside from a few sightings here and there, and fans can’t blame him. The hitmaker has been fairly active on social media, however, which has given Kendrick supporters plenty of ammo.

Drake Drops Off New Photo On His Instagram Story

Earlier today, for example, he took to his Instagram Story to share a photo of himself with what appears to be a bright blue hookah hose in his mouth. It’s unclear exactly why he decided to post this, though most think it was far from a good move. He’s now being clowned for the photo in XXL‘s comments section, and X users aren’t holding back in the slightest. “Bro I can’t keep defending this,” one writes. “What’s with this pose bro??” someone else wonders.

Of course, plenty of others are also claiming that he’s “never beatin the allegations,” particularly if he keeps posting things like this. What do you think of Drake’s new Instagram post? Do you think he deserves the roast he’s getting online, or are social media users simply overreacting? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Boosie Badazz’s Controversial New Track “Letter To The LGBT” Prompts Mixed Reactions

by

Last week, Boosie Badazz took to social media to tease his new track, which he dubbed “Letter To The Gays” at the time. The song is part of his new album Russia, which he unveiled in full yesterday (June 25). As expected, the short snippet he shared resulted in some mixed reactions from listeners. He’s no stranger to having hot takes on the LGBTQIA+ community, and the lyrics certainly reflect that. They include references to gender affirmation surgery, transgender women in competitive sports, and more.

The full version of the track is officially out, though he’s tweaked its title slightly. It’s now called “Letter To The LGBT.” It’s unclear exactly why he changed the title, though it’s possible he was trying to be a bit more inclusive. Either way, it has social media users split.

While some think that Boosie is speaking facts, many think the song is pretty offensive, and are begging him to just stop bringing up the LGBTQIA+ community altogether. Others argue that he seems to be taking a step in the right direction, though his execution might need some work if he really wants to make peace with those who have different opinions than him.

For example, he mentions not having any “hate” for the LGBTQIA+ community and says that he hopes they don’t have any hate for him. He also says that he’s not trying to offend anyone, though he almost certainly did. This seems to be an attempt at reconciling with the people he may have offended in the past, though whether or not it was effective is up for debate.

Chance The Rapper’s New Single “Stars Out” Leaves Fans With High Expectations For Upcoming Album

by

Chance The Rapper fans have been looking forward to a new project from the hitmaker for years now, and it finally looks like one is on the horizon. Earlier today, he unveiled his brand new single, “Stars Out.” The track arrived alongside a minimalistic accompanying music video, and so far, fans are impressed. It’s expected to appear on his upcoming album, Star Line Gallery, which he officially announced in April of this year.

Listeners sharing their reactions to the new single on social media, revealing that it’s given them high hopes for the rest of the album. “Stars Out” follows Chance’s single “Buried Alive,” which he also unleashed back in April. That similarly had fans looking forward to hearing what else he has to offer on his next LP, and anticipating a major comeback for the Chicago artist.

Star Line Gallery does not yet have an official release date, though he originally announced that it would drop in Spring of this year. It’s too late for that now, however, fans still expect it to arrive sometime in 2024. Hopefully, it’ll be released sooner rather than later.

Regardless it’s team Drake for life.” Clearly, Drizzy’s followers are under the impression that the upcoming show will be perceived as yet another L for the Toronto hitmaker.

Metro Boomin Gets Clowned Into Oblivion For Celebrating Private Twitter Likes

by

Recently, Twitter/X announced that moving forward, all likes on the platform will be kept private. This means that now, the only users who will be able to see if someone likes a post will be its author and the user who liked it. The platform says the change was made in order to “better protect your privacy,” and to boost engagement as users can now freely like the content they want to see more of without fear of other users knowing what they’re up to. The change has prompted mixed reactions so far, with most agreeing that it will make the user experience worse. Others, like Metro Boomin, couldn’t be happier.

The producer shared his take on the update with his followers on the platform earlier today. “Likes finally private,” he wrote alongside a series of fire emojis. Clearly, he can’t wait to take full advantage of his newfound privacy. As a result, however, fans are now hounding him with questions and jokes about what he could be trying to hide.

Now, users are in the clear to post what they want so long as it’s “properly labeled and not prominently displayed.” Plenty of fans also think this could have something to do with Metro Boomin’s enthusiasm. This is unconfirmed, though some have already dubbed him “Freaky Boomin.”
