Nick Cannon Roasted For Picking Bruno Mars Over Beyoncé

Fans are roasting Nick Cannon on social media for arguing that Bruno Mars has more hit records than Beyoncé. He explained his reasoning during a recent episode of his podcast, The Daily Cannon, adding that he’d also take Mars over Taylor Swift.

“Have you ever seen Bruno perform live?” he asked his co-hosts. “Fire! ‘Cause he got his whole crew on stage with him and they be doing the little dances. It feels very Morris Day and the Time-ish. See, no offence, but I would rather go to a Bruno Mars show than a Beyoncé or a Taylor Swift [show],” Cannon added while asking who has the most hits. From there, they cited “Crazy in Love,” “Drunk in Love,” “Single Ladies,” and many more songs from Beyoncé. “I’m a Beyoncé fan,” Cannon clarified. “I still believe Bruno Mars actually has more hit records.”

Nick Cannon Chooses Bruno Mars Over Beyoncé

Fans were quick to begin roasting Cannon for the take on social media. “Nick cannon just said Bruno mars got more hits than Beyoncé like let’s be fucking serious right now,” one fan tweeted. Another wrote: “Alright we the people would like to release Nick Cannon from the culture. First all these kids and now you saying Bruno Mars has more hits than BEYONCÉ!! MAN WHAT?!”

Not all of the responses were so negative. On Cannon’s Instagram clip, fans understood both sides of the argument. “Bruno’s dance talent is incredible and shows do remind you of Morris Day and the Time. Beyoncé does have bangers. Both at the top of the game,” one user commented on the clip. Another agreed, “Bruno Mars has an AMAZING show!!!! AMAZING!!!! Live vocals, live dancing, live instruments and FUN!!!! Great, great entertainer and I’m not exaggerating. I was thoroughly surprised and pleased at his show!”

Fans Respond To Nick Cannon

Cannon’s comments come as Beyoncé embarks on the Renaissance World Tour. Fans in the United States will have an opportunity to see her between July and September as she travels the country.

Dua Lipa Debuts New Boyfriend, Her Ex Anwar Hadid Shares Troubling Social Media Posts

Dua Lipa was briefly linked to Jack Harlow after he named a song after her on his sophomore album last year. Fans were initially surprised by the news, though many seemed to be rooting for the young pair. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out between them, and the English songstress has since moved on with Romain Gavras.

Their relationship hasn’t been a secret as it first made headlines back in March. However, the couple has kept a relatively low profile in the time since. They finally making their red carpet debut over the weekend at Cannes Film Festivan in France. Both looked extremely elegant in their black-tie outfits. Dua’s wispy bangs shielded her face from the camera above her cut-out clad little black dress. While some are happy to see the Future Nostalgia songstress on the arm of a handsome man, her ex, Anwar Hadid, seemed far less enthused on his Instagram Stories.

“Trying not to find and kill him :),” the model wrote in one of his uploads, which finds him looking down at the camera with a straight face. “I can’t [breathe],” he added in another selfie, followed by an image of the ground with “I hate the way you say my name,” typed out across it. Before long, viewers assumed Hadid was talking about Dua, likely due to his history of sharing cryptic posts about former lovers.

Regardless of what internet sleuths are speculating, Hadid shut down the gossip with another Story. “Crazy how the internet will just make whole articles about shit they don’t know anything about!!” he ventred. “Y’all are bored as f*ck!!!! SORRY.”

Halle Bailey On Dating DDG: “I Have To Step Away From [Social Media] & Live In The Real World”

Just like her character in The Little Mermaid, Halle Bailey prefers to live in the real world. In a recent interview ahead of the film’s premiere next week, the Atlanta-born artist spoke candidly about her relationship with DDG, and how constantly being bombarded with the opinions of strangers on social media can be troubling to her. Rather than doom-scroll through all the drama, Bailey prefers to log off and spend time focusing on the things in front of her.

“The biggest thing I’ve learned in dating when it comes to dating in the public eye, is that everybody’s gonna have an opinion about you, whether it’s good or bad” she reflected. “I’ve had this since I was younger. I think because I’ve grown up, kind of in the public eye, people think they have this sort of… I don’t know, that they can say what they feel about my life. Like they do with everyone in the public eye,” the 23-year-old further explained. “But I’ve realized, for me, I just go with my heart.”

Halle Bailey Discusses DDG Relationship

The “Do It” hitmaker’s approach to life is to follow her heart, and “cherish what makes [her] happy.” One way that she’s able to do that and keep her mindset in a positive space is by taking breaks from being online. “It’s hard when you’re in the public eye because social media is also a part of your work, it’s a big part of what I do! I have to set healthy boundaries for myself, ‘cuz just like anyone, if you see all these people saying whatever they want about you, your life, what you choose to decide… That could take a toll on anyone, so I just have to choose to step aside and not look at any of that.”

“Just live in the real world,” the Disney starlet added. “That’s what makes me happy.” Do you ship Halle Bailey and DDG as a couple? Let us know in the comments, and tap back in with HNHH later for more music/pop culture news updates.

T.I. Shows Off Roller Skating Skills, Channeling “ATL” Character

T.I. appears to be living a pretty peaceful life these days. Recently, the rapper settled his long-standing beef with Boosie Badazz. According to both parties involved, the feud has come to an end. Recently, Boosie spoke about the situation in an interview with VladTV. He revealed that he had apologized to T.I. He also shed light on his thoughts and emotions throughout the process. Boosie expressed the feeling that both of them were able to resolve their differences like “bosses.” While the tension between them gradually subsided over time, it is reassuring to have solid confirmation of their reconciliation.

Boosie began his remarks by stating, “It just went like two bosses handling it, man.” He emphasized that they have children who love each other, and initially, they didn’t see eye to eye. As such, they engaged in a back-and-forth exchange where both of them expressed their perspectives. However, Boosie acknowledged that he understood T.I.’s viewpoint, and T.I. understood his. Boosie took the initiative to offer an apology to T.I. to help mend their relationship.

T.I. Is No Stranger To The Rink

T.I. hit his fans with a wave of nostalgia this week. The rapper-turned-actor decided to relive his role from the 2006 movie ATL by putting on a pair of skates and hitting the rink. In the cult classic film, set in an Atlanta-based skating rink and revolving around the lives of its regulars, T.I. portrays the character Rashad. His group in the movie is renowned for their skating skills, and it appears that some of those abilities have stayed with him. A video clip, which is featured above, began circulating on social media on Wednesday, showing T.I. effortlessly gliding around the rink. The comments section quickly filled with references and nods to the 2006 movie, evoking a sense of nostalgia among viewers.

In a recent interview, it was revealed that Nick Cannon was also up for T.I.’s part in ATL. “I don’t know if he elaborated on this when he was talking to Shannon Sharpe, I was supposed to do ATL,” Cannon said. The father of twelve has had several big roles, but many did not know of his involvement with the 2006 film. However, Cannon was presented with the choice of two roller skating movies that year. One was ATL, of course, and the other was Roll Bounce. The latter has gone on to become a mid-aughts classic in the eyes of many. Cannon, however, did it for the money. “The bag was a little bigger over at Roll Bounce with less days work; so I chose that one,” he said. Would you have preferred seeing Nick over T.I. in ATL? Let is know in the comments!

Janet Jackson Shares Steamy Performance With Dancer, Social Media Reacts

57-year-old performer Janet Jackson recently proved that age is just a number at the Allentown, Pennsylvania stop on her tour. She shared a sensual performance with her backup dancer, Mariusz Maniek Kotarski, holding nothing back as she felt up the shirtless man in front of her audience. Jackson is currently on her “Together Again” tour. Her current tour features dates across the U.S. and Canada.

Jackson also featured Busta Rhymes at another show earlier this month. They performed their 1998 song “What’s It Gonna Be?” Busta Rhymes later gave Jackson a bouquet of flowers after their performance. “We’re going to give you your flowers…. your botanical garden while you can smell them,” he told the singer. He also reflected on how the song came about, saying “In 1998, 25 years ago, I’m on the Belt Parkway going from Long Island to Manhattan.” Busta Rhymes continued, “I’m listening to Janet Jackson do an interview with Angie Martinez when she was on Hot 97.” He then claimed that when Jackson said she wanted to work with him he almost crashed. “Our video is the most expensive Hip Hop video made in the history of Hip Hop culture,” he finished. He later brought a cake out for Jackson, to celebrate her upcoming birthday.

Earlier this year, Jackson’s nephew, TJ Jackson, criticized his aunt’s performances. “I never liked when she did this in concerts either,” he said, defending his critical stance on Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s song “WAP.” “I don’t like when females are overly sexualized in art,” he said, adding, “It degrades and [objectifies] women in a way that’s not healthy.” He went on, saying, “It’s unfair, but men aren’t as objectified as women. Nevertheless, to me, it diminishes it and leads to other stereotypes.” He then claimed “[It] can lead to perceptions, and even worse, role models that don’t help our advancement.”

Jackson was also recently forced to change the date of her Atlanta performance. The incident occurred after the venue double-booked her performance and the Atlanta Hawks playoff game against the Boston Celtics. Celtics player Jayson Tatum later apologized to “legend” for the mishap.

Future Hilariously Tells DJ Khaled To Go Home

Future is someone who is always jet-setting across the globe. Overall, there is a very good reason for this. He is a massive artist who is constantly touring. Moreover, he has a lot of wealth, so why not treat himself to some vacations every now and then? Needless to say, the artist is not at his home very often. If his friends want to pay him a surprise visit, they are essentially playing the lottery. Most of the time, there is an overwhelming chance that he will not be there to answer the door.

Unfortunately, this is something that DJ Khaled had to learn the hard way yesterday. As many of you already know, Khaled loves to ride jet skis. To be fair, Miami is the perfect place for this hobby. There is lots of water, and it is always warm and sunny outside. Consequently, DJ Khaled was out and about on a jet ski yesterday, and on his social media, he revealed he was on his way to see Future. Overall, it was meant to be a surprise visit. Although, Khaled’s end game here remains unknown.

Future Wasn’t Home

Future saw this social media story and immediately reposted it to his own Instagram story. However, the artist let it be known that Khaled was on his way to an empty home. “I’m not home, turn around,” Future said simply. Although it was a very basic reply, it was a hilarious one. For him to let Khaled down like that so publically made for great entertainment. That said, it remains to be seen if Khaled actually got that message while on the water. He likely ended up at Future’s house, only to be extremely disappointed.

If there is a lesson to be learned from this, it is that you should always contact your friends before going to see them. Otherwise, you may just end up wasting some very valuable time. Hopefully, Khaled and Future are able to link up fairly soon. Let us know what you think of all this, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Gunna Keeps Stunning Fans With Weight Loss In Newly Surfaced Picture

Yet another recent picture of Gunna surfaced online, and people are still blown away by his weight loss journey. Perhaps that’s reading too deeply into it, as we don’t know if he’s exactly proud of it or if it came as a result of more negative circumstances. Regardless, fans are excited about these new sightings, mostly because they want him to drop new music already. Considering his stint in prison and subsequent controversial plea deal, it wouldn’t be surprising if he waits even more. However, given recent hints straight from the College Park MC himself, maybe that won’t be the case.

Moreover, the Drip Season artist recently replied to a fan’s post on Instagram that asked what many fans are also wondering. “Gunna where tf are you?” the picture’s text read. “I’m OTW [blue “P” emoji],” he replied in the comments section. As such, maybe that was the unofficial start of a soon-to-come rollout for a new single, project, or something else entirely. What’s more is that other reports indicate that he’ll be switching things up quite drastically.

New Picture Of Gunna Surfaces Online

For example, DJ Akademiks claimed that Gunna wants out of his deal with YSL and has a whole new album ready to drop. According to the media personality, the 29-year-old wants to drop already but doesn’t have anyone in his corner to help him do so. As a result, he’s apparently looking to bring his efforts elsewhere and might be patiently waiting on how Young Thug and YSL’s RICO case develops. Whatever the case, it’s certainly a sticky situation for him, as others in the industry have already cut their ties with him in one way or another.

Still, that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have a rabid fanbase that is ready to hear him whenever he does release new music. While his relationship with YSL is unclear, it seems like a lot of his hardcore fans want to hear him regardless. After all, the legal battle he escaped, however wrongfully, is something that fans don’t want to hear pop up in their playlists. If they do, it’s purely to gaggle at the spectacle. Hopefully that’s not the route he goes down (if any), and doesn’t make money at the expense of his former crew. With that in mind, stay posted on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Gunna.

Many fans hated on the gifts when the post was reshared by 2Cool2Blog on Instagram. “Will that energy be the same if the money dry up?” one user asked in response to the videos. Another defended the posts: “Y’all be hating like shit and be wanting the same shit lls …..fuck out of here and mind your business!”

Offset also celebrated Cardi in his own post. “Happy Mother’s Day my beautiful wife such a great mother you went against everything for our babies and still was able to balance it all out!

The Weeknd Updates Social Media To Display His Real Name

Given recent statements and interviews, we all knew that The Weeknd will soon be no more, and instead Abel Makkonen Tesfaye will continue his career. However, we’re sure that many out there didn’t expect it to manifest so soon, albeit in a small way. Moreover, the Canadian superstar recently changed his social media handles to display his real name instead of his stage name. With that, he seems to hav begun the process of shedding his persona’s skin in favor of his birth name, which makes sense considering his future endeavors. After all, his series “The Idol” will premiere on HBO soon.

“I’m going through a cathartic path right now,” the 33-year-old remarked. “It’s getting to a place and a time where I’m getting ready to close the Weeknd chapter. I’ll still make music, maybe as Abel, maybe as The Weeknd. But I still want to kill The Weeknd. And I will. Eventually. I’m definitely trying to shed that skin and be reborn.” In addition to his media ventures, he also reportedly became part of a bidding war for the Ottawa Senators hockey team.

The Weeknd Becomes Abel Tesfaye On Social Media

Regardless, this is kind of sad news for longtime fans of The Weeknd, but only because of the nostalgic factor. While his career will continue to flourish, fans will never forget just how impactful, influential, and groundbreaking those first few projects were. Still, Abel is arguably at his artistic peak right now, with critical acclaim catching up to his gargantuan commercial success and popularity. For example, he recently provided executive production on Mike Dean’s latest album, a role that one would expect them to swap. But to box the “Double Fantasy” star in like that would be a travesty.

Meanwhile, we still have that third album in the After Hours and Dawn FM trilogy to look forward to. Given those albums’ themes, sonic fusions of all his past styles, and their astonishing presence in pop culture when they dropped, its final installment would be a fitting send-off. It’ll be bittersweet, but all great things must come to an end, even The Weeknd. The truly important thing here is that there’s only more greatness on the way after that. For more news and the latest updates on Abel Tesfaye, check back in with HNHH.

“Power Book II: Ghost” Final Episodes Leak Online, Social Media Reacts

Leaks are a plague on pop culture, whether for the early spoilers or for ruining the surprise element and intended rollout for fans in any medium. Moreover, the final two episodes of “Power Book II: Ghost” leaked online, and social media had a field day reacting. Of course, they had both the series events (which won’t be spoiled here) and the leak itself to react to. In fact, a lot of the show’s stars and collaborators reacted online with surprise, frustration, or the lightest attitude they could muster. Unsurprisingly, series head 50 Cent had the most notable reaction online.

“Give it up for the only network that leaks its biggest shows,” Fif wrote about Starz. “Great work guys!” Fortunately, it seems like these won’t literally be the last episodes of “Power Book II: Ghost.” Reports in January indicated that the network renewed the show for a fourth season, so there’s plenty more “Power” to watch unfold. Still, that probably won’t arrive in a while, so it’s still unfortunate that fans who’d rather wait for official releases have to dodge spoilers online.

“Power Book II: Ghost” Final Season 3 Episodes Leak: Its Stars React

In addition, it should be noted that this isn’t the first leak that “Power Book II: Ghost” has had to deal with. Even without these new leaks in mind, there is still plenty of drama to go over within the show’s universe and production. A recent one was cast members claiming that T.I. was replaced by Method Man on the show due to his beef with 50 Cent. During an interview with Tony the Closer, the Atlanta trap pioneer cleared the air surrounding his alleged involvement and subsequent removal from the show.

Social Media Reacts To The Leaks

“50 and I we were executive producers on a different show outside of the ‘Power’ universe. But nah, me and 50 cool,” he said. “I think I’m the only one who is not offended by his brash approach and he’s not offended by mine. So, you now, we play rough but ain’t no issue. It’s a mutual respect, though.” These rumored beefs are nothing compared to how the G-Unit mogul feels about Starz and these leaks. Keep scrolling to see more reactions on social media.
