Lil Nas X Is Living Up To Entering His Christian Era On Upcoming Single “J CHRIST”

by

Lil Nas X had one of the more dominant runs in music in the past several years from 2019-2021. His viral tracks such as “MONTERO” and “INDUSTRY BABY” had him constantly topping the charts. However, the past year and a half has been quiet for the Georgia native. In 2022, Nas X put out two singles. Those were “Late To Da Party (F*CK BET)” with NBA YoungBoy and “STAR WALKIN’.” The latter was a collaboration with the League of Legends video game.

Part of the reason for his lack of production is because Nas X feels he was “blackballed” from releasing in 2023. According to Billboard, it is because of “promoting God to the masses.” The latter of the comments were made late last week. Around the same time, Lil Nas said he was going to “expose the industry” and that he needed to “watch his back.”

In addition to all of those statements, the multi-talent made one last year. He claimed he was going to enter his “Christian era.” Well, he is living up to that promise it seems. According to Pitchfork the platinum recording artist revealed the cover art and release date for “J CHRIST.” “MY NEW SINGLE IS DEDICATED TO THE MAN WHO HAD THE GREATEST COMEBACK OF ALL TIME!” It will be out on Friday, January 12. Also according to Billboard, this track is rumored to be put out independently, and not through Columbia Records. Nas X is doing this because “[my label] gave me the choice of going independent to release my gospel music or staying with them.”

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new single announcement by Lil Nas X? Will “J CHRIST” be his best song in the last couple of years? How do you feel about the rumors that this will have gospel inspiration? Does this mean that he is getting ready to drop an album this year?

21 Savage Reveals Rumored Biopic, Will Star Childish Gambino And “Stranger Things” Caleb McLaughlin

by

21 Savage has become one of the more elusive rappers recently. Sure, he has done plenty of features over the past few years. Additionally, he hit the road for a short time in the UK for a tour. However, in terms of his solo career, the London-born rapper has been stingy when it comes to dropping new music. It has been a little over five years since his last lone offering, i am > i was.

Furthermore, 21 has only dropped two solo singles in the past two years. His most recent was a collaboration with the Call of Duty video game franchise called “Call Me Revenge.” But, there is some excitement surrounding the trap rap hitmaker. Supposedly, he will be moving into the movie industry. Moments ago, 21 Savage announced on his social media accounts an image of himself, Childish Gambino, and Caleb McLaughlin. The latter is one of the main actors from the ever-popular “Stranger Things” Netflix series.

Not much is known about this project, but it appears to be a biopic of 21’s life. He captioned the post with “👀👀👀” The title of the film is American Dream: The 21 Savage Story. There is a chance we could learn about his time growing up in the UK and how he got over to the states. Another early but perhaps obvious predicition is that Caleb will play a young 21 and Gambino (aka Donald Glover) will potray a present day Savage.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new announcement from 21 Savage about his rumored biopic? Do you think he made the right choices by selecting Childish Gambino and Caleb McLaughlin? Are you excited about this new project If yes or no, what are your early predictions for it? How should this movie be released? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

Ari Lennox Reflects On Rod Wave Tour Treatment: “This Is Not My Crowd”

by

Ari Lennox recently reflected on her experience opening on the Rod Wave Nostalgia Tour, admitting that she could never find her groove. While discussing the tour on social media, over the weekend, she explained that it was not the right crowd for her. Most notably, an angry fan threw a bottle at Lennox during a concert in Los Angeles in November.

“I was never comfortable,” she began, “I just remember every show, just racing to get off stage, racing to get through my set. I started trying to communicate with the audience and then I realized they were getting angry at me affirming them. You’re getting angry that I’m affirming you? This is not my crowd. And it’ll never be. And that’s alright. It was tough and it was heavy on my soul, especially the day when the bottle happened because that side of the stage, like, I felt the energy … It was just all darkness — that was literally the energy that was coming from the left side.”

Lennox continued: “I was on that stage and would people would have sh*t on their screens saying ‘next,’ and I can’t deal with sh*t like that. I’ll curse you out … What is this aggression? You’re that pissed? It was a lot for two and a half months, like, getting my wardrobe stolen. It was just a very hard two and a half f*cking months. Very lonely too. But I thought it would be a good idea.” Check out her full comments on the tour below, as noted by Complex.

Latto Poses With A Kangaroo In Australia

by

Latto is showing off her adventurous side. She recently stirred up social media with a playful and unexpected post, showcasing her lighter side in a unique encounter with a kangaroo. The rapper shared a picture where she posed alongside the exotic animal. However, she added a humorous twist to a caption that sparked conversations among her followers. In the photo, Latto exudes confidence as she strikes a pose next to the kangaroo, capturing a candid and lighthearted moment. However, what caught the attention of her followers was the caption reposted to her story, where Latto humorously remarked that her moms’ side, or “Caucasian” side had seemingly “jumped out.”

Furthermore, the rapper’s acknowledgment of her “Caucasian” side adds an interesting layer to the post, showcasing her ability to navigate cultural nuances with a sense of humor. The implication is the running joke, that only a Caucasian person would have taken a picture next to a kangaroo. However, Latto’s candid commentary not only connects with her followers but also humanizes her celebrity persona, allowing fans to see her in a funny light. Moreover, social media platforms often serve as a stage for artists to share glimpses of their personality beyond their musical endeavors.

Latto’s playful interaction with the kangaroo transcends typical celebrity posts, offering followers a blend of humor and authenticity that resonates in the age of digital media.

In an era where social media plays a pivotal role in shaping an artist’s public image, Latto’s post shows the art of balancing personal authenticity with entertainment. By sharing a light-hearted moment with her followers, the rapper not only invites them into her world but also cultivates a connection based on relatability and shared laughter.

Boosie Badazz Has A Theory On His Lack Of Award Nominations

by

Boosie Badazz is no stranger to airing his unfiltered opinions online, but according to the Louisiana native, it doesn’t come without a cost. Last week, the hitmaker took to social media to share his theory on why he doesn’t get nominated for as many awards as he deserves. He claims that while his musical abilities are undeniable, his outspokenness may be a bit too much for those in charge.

He shared a couple of clips from his “Rocket Man” and “Black & Beautiful” music videos on Thursday alongside his theory. “ROCKETMAN N BLACK AND BEAUTIFUL,” he wrote. “DO YALL THINK MY MUSIC DONT GET NOMINATED FOR AWARDS BECAUSE I KEEP IT REAL AND SPEAK MY MIND ON THINGS THAT I DONT AGREE WITH??? BECAUSE NOBODY MAKES MUSIC LIKE BOOSIE[.] DO WE NOT CHERISH BLACK WOMEN ANYMORE? LISTEN TO THE LYRICS ON ROCKETMAN.”

Boosie Badazz Thinks It’s Because He Speaks His Mind

Boosie’s social media antics and frequent chats with DJ Vlad have gotten him in some hot water in the past. This is particularly true when it comes to his kids. At the beginning of December, for example, his take on his daughter’s new relationship earned the personality quite a bit of backlash. “You can cheat on her, but don’t beat on her,” Boosie said of the 21-year-old. “Just don’t hit her n***a. Love her, I don’t give a f*ck what you do. Just don’t hit her.”

While some found his comments concerning, he was quick to clap back, urging critics to reflect on their own parents’ behavior before questioning his. “WHAT RAPPER [YOU] KNOW GOT MULTIPLE BABY MOMMAS N THEY KIDS ALL GREW UP LOVING EACH OTHER, TRAVELING WITH EACH OTHER. [WHO ELSE] HAS ALWAYS BEEN N THEY LIVES AS A DADDY N PROVIDED FOR THEM ALL,” he added. What do you think of Boosie Badazz’s theory on why he doesn’t get nominated for awards? Do you agree with him?

Blueface Speed Dating Live Stream Doesn’t Go To Plan: Watch

by

The women Blueface surrounds himself with do nothing but stress him out, and as he approaches the new year, it looks like the father of three is on the hunt for new potential lovers. Just a few weeks after Chrisean Rock and Jaidyn Alexis surprisingly came together to destroy his home, Blue made it clear he’s back on the prowl by shooting his shot with employees at a drive-thru. Ahead of the weekend, the 26-year-old’s antics only continued as he went on Instagram Live in hopes of finding an ideal lover during a speed dating stream that certainly didn’t go to plan.

In the video below, Blue’s first “contestant” talks to him after working a 12-hour shift for FedEx. At first, she’s too shy to turn her camera on, admitting to feeling her heart pounding while speaking to the celebrity. “It’s me, baby. Your dreams have [come] true. This is not a drill, this is the real thing. The “Thotiana” rapper tells her as they laugh together. Around the 4:15 mark of the video below, a young woman tells Blue she’s at school while showing off lockers in a hallway. Ever the instigator, he insisted that she was in a strip club locker room.

Blueface Gets to Know Fans on a More Personal Level

As the second contestant shut down the MILF Music founder’s allegations, she began promoting her lash business. Blue clearly wasn’t having any of that, and quickly moved on to finding another IG user on the hunt for love (or at least entertainment). It doesn’t seem like he’s had much luck this time around, but we won’t be surprised to see him back for another round in the near future.

While Blueface continues to antagonize his baby mamas with his online behaviour, Chrisean Rock clearly isn’t bothered as she’s getting plenty of attention too. Earlier this week, the 23-year-old went Live with multiple women hoping to hook up with her, despite her obvious disinterest. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Lizzo “Heartbroken” After Beloved Dog Pooka Passes Away

by

Fans have seen countless celebrities taking part in holiday festivities this week but unfortunately, Lizzo’s in the process of mourning. The songstress took to social media earlier this week to reveal that she’s lost her pet dog, Pooka. It’s unconfirmed what led to her beloved pup’s passing. She’s made it clear, however, that the loss has been difficult to swallow.

She took to Instagram yesterday to share a variety of photos of herself and loved ones posing with Pooka. “I’m not ok im so heartbroken rip Pooka,” she captioned the carousel. Countless fans have come through with words of support as she reckons with the animal’s passing, noting how difficult losing a pet can be. “We will always love you, Pooka Diamanté Jefferson,” Lizzo captioned another sweet shot of her and the dog. “4•10•2005 – 12•24•2023.”

Lizzo Says Goodbye To Pooka

While the loss of her pet has certainly put a damper on the “Juice” performer’s holiday, it’s not the only unfortunate circumstance plaguing her as of late. Earlier this year, she was hit with a lawsuit from various former backup dancers who accused her of sexual harassment and other workplace misconduct. She’s since moved to have the documents sealed, though the judge has yet to rule on the motion. Her team argues that “documents, correspondence and testimony that contain sensitive, confidential information and/or proprietary business information, including employee compensation, contract negotiation, and third-party sensitive contact information” should not be available to the public.

After addressing the allegations and denying any wrongdoing, Lizzo shared last month that she’s in the process of self-improvement. “I’m working.. on music, myself, relationships with people and food, my anxiety, my body, my business, and my trust issues with the world. But they are deep now, deeper than they’ve ever been,” she revealed. Fans can only hope that their support, combined with the love of family and friends, will help Lizzo move forward after the loss. Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

One user wrote: “Y’all fail to realize everything ain’t about money. Sometimes it’s the only airline with flights available at a particular time needed to get somewhere. Especially with so many flights backed up or canceled because of the holidays.” Another added: “Why do ppl care about how celebrities fly? Sometimes spirit is the last option cause maybe other airlines are booked or have flights with available seats going to a certain city. Y’all are so weird with yall obsession about celebrities and how they choose to fly.” Check out NoJumper’s video of Lil Baby below.
