Cardi B Denies Getting Paid For Kamala Harris Rally Speech After Teleprompter Mishap

by

Yesterday, Cardi B spoke at Kamala Harris’ rally in Milwaukee, and her speech quickly went viral. She ignited the crowd as she expressed why she’s supporting the Democratic presidential nominee, touching on key issues like women’s healthcare. The femcee also tore into Donald Trump, dubbing him a “hustler” trying to sell the American people “bigotry, misogyny, division, chaos and confusion.”

Her speech went on for roughly ten minutes, but unfortunately, not everyone was feeling it. While many social media users have been praising Cardi, others are digging up some of the less flattering moments of her past. Some are also dragging her for reading her speech off of a phone due to technical difficulties involving the teleprompter.

Cardi B Reminds Critics She’s Been Discussing Politics For Years

One social media user even accused her of accepting “a huge, undisclosed amount” to speak at the rally, which she denies. She hopped on X last night to shut them down, and to remind them that she’s been using her platform to discuss politics for years. “I did not get paid a dollar for this,” her response began. “I actually been talking about these topics for the past couple years FOR FREE on ALL my platforms!! Before I was a celebrity I was a product of poverty for 24 years so you not gonna tell me what I want to see in MY community.”

During her speech, Cardi revealed that she wasn’t even planning on voting until Harris replaced Joe Biden on the Democratic ticket. “[Harris] changed my mind completely,” she explained. “I did not have faith for any candidate until she joined the race and said the things that I wanted to hear — things I want to see next in this country. I believe in every word that comes out of her mouth; she’s passionate, she’s compassionate, she shows empathy, and most of all, she is not delusional.” What do you think of Cardi B shutting down one X user who accused her of accepting a large amount of money to speak at Kamala Harris’ rally in Milwaukee yesterday?

Kanye West Teases Transforming $35M Beverly Hills Property Into A City

by

Yesterday, it was reported that Kanye West dropped a whopping $35 million on a luxurious mansion in Beverly Hills. According to a recent post, however, it might not stay that way for long. As news of the major purchase spread online, Ye took to his Instagram Story to show it off. In one image, he scribbled over the home and added the word DROAM, a self-sustaining city he announced plans for last December.

At the time, Ye said the city would span an impressive 100,000 acres, while his Beverly Hills property only covers around seven. Regardless, DROAM would certainly be a sight to see if he actually managed to pull it off. Size wouldn’t be the only difference from Ye’s initial DROAM layout, however. At first, it was going to be built somewhere in the Middle East.

Ye Hints At DROAM On His Instagram Story

Of course, like many things involving Ye, nothing is set in stone. It’s possible that he was just brainstorming, and still intends on carrying out his initial plans for DROAM. With that being said, he just took a major financial hit, so it may have to wait a bit longer. Last month, he sold his Malibu mansion for $21 million. Just three years ago, he purchased it for $57.3 million, meaning he lost a staggering $36 million. He gutted that property too with alleged intentions of turning it into a bomb shelter, but ultimately, that never came to fruition.

Belwood Investments CEO Bo Belmont, who purchased the Malibu property from Ye, even slammed the changes the Chicago artist made to the home. “That was a really d*mb move. Really no purpose… He single-handedly destroyed [it]… My goal is to make it as though Kanye was never there,” Belmont told The Los Angeles Times in September. What do you think of Kanye West hinting at gutting his extravagant Beverly Hills mansion to turn it into DROAM? Do you think he should or not?

Burna Boy Appears To Call For Lil Durk’s Release With Series Of Controversial Statements

by

At the end of work week last week, Lil Durk and five alleged OTF (Only The Family) members were arrested. Overall, the charges include for murder-for-hire involving a death, use of a machine gun in a violent crime, and conspiracy to conduct murder-for-hire. It’s all in connection to the attempted murder of Georgia rapper Quando Rondo. It occurred in 2022 but instead of taking his life, it wound up tragically taking Rondo’s cousin, Saviay’a Robinson. On top of this, we have come to learn that someone within OTF had allegedly been wearing a wire for a couple of years and feeding authorities information about Lil Durk.

OTF Jam is the alleged man in question right now, but there’s still so much more to uncover and unpack. Since this bombshell, especially Jam’s wire, fans of Durk’s have been pushing heavily for his release. As of late Monday night, Nigerian rapper and singer Burna Boy seems to be joining the protestors thanks to a collection of statements from IG Stories. “The streets ain’t what it used to be,” he began. “The old rules no longer apply. The way I see it, everybody is a civilian now… No more sliding, just sue your opps to court and take they money. 😂” According to Within Nigeria, this seems to be in relation to a conflict with contemporary, Speed Darlington. Burna reportedly filed a petition against him for cyberstalking.

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

However, in a separate IG Story following the one above, Burna Boy would champion the release of Lil Durk. “Free SMURK.” All of these comments stirred up some debate amongst the internet, with it being caused by some discrediting the validity of Burna’s words. In general, those nonbelievers don’t think he’s “street” enough to be talking about gangs. “This tweet was posed to come from Boosie not no damn Burnaboy 😂😂😂” This led to a barrage of responses from others putting these types of people on blast for being naive about how dangerous other countries like Nigeria are. Bolstering their arguments further is the fact that Burna was arrested by Lagos officials for attempted murder back in 2010, according to Naija Gists.

What are your thoughts on Burna Boy appearing to champion the release of Lil Durk? Where do you stand on the whole arrest and the allegations? Do you think some of these internet users are being naive by discrediting what the Nigerian artist has to say? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

DeJ Loaf Appears To Support Lil Durk After His Arrest For Alleged Murder-For-Hire

by

Last week, Lil Durk was arrested in Florida for alleged murder-for-hire. The Chicago rapper could reportedly face life imprisonment or the death penalty if he’s found guilty, so obviously, the stakes are high. The arrest has prompted big reactions from countless social media users and peers. Some fans even speculate that one of DeJ Loaf’s latest Tweets was about the debacle.

“Free Mine,” she wrote simply on Friday (October 25), shortly after news of the arrest hit the internet. This prompted her followers to theorize that she was referring to Durk, though this is still not confirmed. She later deleted the post, leaving her supporters with even more questions. In response, she made it clear that she meant what she said.

DeJ Loaf’s Tweet After Lil Durk Arrest Sparks Speculation

“We seen that post girl!!!!!!” one user wrote, to which DeJ Loaf replied “As you should’ve! I said what I said.” In a follow-up post, she proceeded to check social media users weighing in on things they really know nothing about. “Folks don’t be knowing half of the business they be minding,” she said. For those who don’t recall, Durk and DeJ Loaf were rumored to be dating several years ago. In 2016, however, Durk shut these rumors down during a Hot97 interview, clarifying that they were just “homies.” Either way, DeJ Loaf’s post has raised some questions.

“Her gf looking at her like ‘who dis fa👀’” one Instagram user writes in The Shade Room‘s comments section. “Having a girlfriend and supporting your ex man on social media is so 2024 🤣🤣🤣” another jokes. What do you think of social media users speculating that DeJ Loaf shared a message in response to Lil Durk’s arrest? Do you think he’s who she was referring to or not?

Nicki Minaj Addresses Nose Job Rumors

by

Nicki Minaj is certainly no stranger to rumors, and recently, she hopped online to shut one in particular down. On Instagram earlier this week, she addressed speculation that she got a nose job, making it clear that her nose is all-natural. She also took the opportunity to call out those who have had surgery on their own noses to make them look more like hers.

“Hey guys I hope no one went and altered their nose,” she said. “Honey chile, I have had a what I called a pointy nose, with or without contour, with or without filter, since I was born, okay. My mother told me two things about it, she said I have a hump on my nose. She said it was a witch nose and she said it was from my Indian side.”

“But I’m still happy I left my nose alone,” she continued. “So I hope none of y’all went changing y’all nose hoping or thinking that I changed mine.” At Vogue‘s Forces of Fashion last week, the femcee also opened up about embracing her appearance. She also revealed how she’s learned that confidence usually comes with age.

“When you turn 30, 40, 50, milestone ages, especially for women—your confidence just grows and grows,” she explained at the event. “You just start understanding yourself better. And when you understand yourself better, you forgive yourself. You’re able to love yourself, and you’re able to love the imperfections that you never loved before.” What do you think of Nicki Minaj shutting down rumors that she got a nose job?

Ab-Soul Addresses J Cole Beef Rumors

by

Lately, there have been rumors floating around that J Cole included Ab-Soul on his Might Delete Later track “Pi” as a jab at Kendrick Lamar, and that they’re at odds because of it. According to Ab-Soul, however, this isn’t actually the case. During a recent interview with DJ Hed and Gina Views, he set the record straight, revealing that he actually recorded his verse as a favor for Daylyt. Moreover, he said he didn’t even know Cole would be on the song at first.

“First of all, shout out my man, Cole,” Ab-Soul said. “Cole is really the homie. Everybody be saying we use the word ‘friend’ and ‘homie’ loosely… but Cole’s a good dude. He’s been concerned about my eyes, my diet.”

“Me and Lyt did the joint ‘PI’ I did it for Daylyt — It’s Daylyt’s record,” Ab-Soul continued. “It’s called ‘PI’ literally because when me and Daylyt’s song ended, it ended on 3:14. The time, the length of the song.” He went on, recalling the moment he learned Cole was going to be on the song. “I wake up one morning, and Daylyt is like ‘bro, check this out,’ and he sends me the song,” he said. “Cole’s on there going cr*zy!” Ultimately, he was excited to hear him contribute to the track but was a bit taken aback considering Cole’s plan to jump on a Herbert song fell through.

“I’m low key hot,” he recalled with a laugh. “Cole was supposed to be on ‘F*ck Out My Face,’ for real. I’m on his [Daylyt] head like, ‘bro, you gotta let me know if you’re gonna send this sh*t off. He ate us up, bro!’” What do you think of Ab-Soul addressing rumors that he and J Cole were at odds? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Nicki Minaj Fans Suspect She Shaded Erica Mena In Cryptic Rant Amid Safaree Drama

by

Lately, things have gotten heated between Safaree and his ex-wife Erica Mena. Earlier this week, Mena exposed Safaree for trying to lower his monthly child support payments despite allegedly only seeing his kids 16 times this year. He went on to share security footage which appears to show Mena allegedly assaulting him physically in front of their children. “I have to put myself first,” Safaree explained upon unveiling the security footage. “Because I’m either gonna end up in jail or worse because Im dealing with someone who’s anger management is nonexistent.”

In response, Mena went on a lengthy Instagram rant, in which she accused Safaree of having allegedly “violated her body” shortly before the footage was captured. “I wanted answers on why he would put my health in jeopardy but he’s not admitting that part,” she wrote in part. Now, it looks as if another one of Safaree’s exes might be throwing shade.

Nicki Minaj Urges Viewers To “Be Careful What You Ask For”

In a clip, Nicki Minaj delivers a cryptic message, urging viewers to “be careful what you ask for.” Some social media users are speculating that this was directed at Mena.

Diddy Investigation: Former NYPD Detective Alleges That Mogul Could Expose Celebrity Friends

by

It goes without saying that Diddy is in the midst of a serious legal battle. The Bad Boy founder was arrested in New York City last month and has since remained behind bars at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. He’s been hit with charges for alleged racketeering and sex trafficking. This development has prompted a great deal of speculation about what the outcome of his case will be. During a recent interview with NewsNation‘s “The Scoop,” for example, former NYPD detective Derrick Parker shared his theory on what could happen.

Parker, also known as the Hip Hop Cop, investigated the NYC hip-hop scene in the 1990s and early 2000s. “I don’t see (Combs) getting out. I think with so much of the outcry of the victims in this case, he may either make a deal where he becomes King for a Day, where he tells everything he knows about someone else that might be bigger than what he’s doing for a deal,” he stated.

Derrick Parker Discusses Diddy’s Case

“I think anybody will rat if they’re getting put into a certain position where you’re looking at R. Kelly time,” he added. “R. Kelly’s doing 20 to 30 years on two separate cases in jail. That was two cases, right? (Combs) has got 100. And the problem he also has is the outcry of all these witnesses, it’s hard for a jury, I think, to listen to all these people come forward.” As for who Diddy could allegedly expose, he suspects that Jay-Z could allegedly be on the list. “Jay-Z and Diddy were pretty close,” he alleged.

“A lot of people went to these parties. It’s not just Jay Z. There are other more important people that are at these Freak Off parties that are very, everybody’s very scared right now,” he also alleged. What do you think of former NYPD detective Derrick Parker theorizing that Diddy could allegedly expose some of his celebrity friends?

DDG Shares Cryptic Message About “Drama” After Halle Bailey Breakup

by

Earlier this week, DDG took to social media to announce that he and Halle Bailey have gone their separate ways. He described the breakup as amicable, and even claimed they’re still “best friends.” Regardless, the news has prompted big reactions from social media users, who continue to speculate about what could have caused the split.

Yesterday, for example, fans made countless jokes about Usher possibly having something to do with the young couple’s demise. This is due to a clip of the R&B icon trying to feed the Little Mermaid actress a cherry, which made its rounds online last week. Obviously, this was all in jest, but the same can’t be said for all of the theories.

While Bailey has yet to break her silence on the breakup, DDG made some interesting remarks during a recent livestream. “Let me reiterate this, this has been planned before anything y’all see, drama-related or anything,” he said. Most Hollywood Unlocked commenters believe he was referring to his idea to take women to a nail salon on stream. Others speculate that he was talking about his breakup or any of the drama that might follow.

These aren’t the only rumors surrounding the couple these days, however. Recently, a fake message from DDG has been making its rounds online, which he quickly confirmed he didn’t write. “I’m a grown man I can make my own decisions. We chose to split because of personal reasons, nah it’s not a skit. I’m not hurt,” the fake post reads. “As long as my son good I’m good.” It was rumored to have been posted on his close friends story, but according to him, he doesn’t even use close friends.
