Taylor Swift Receives A Fair Warning From Benny The Butcher Ahead Of Bills-Chiefs Game

by

The 2023-2024 NFL Playoffs are going to see another installment in the Buffalo Bills versus Kansas City Chiefs saga. Each team took care of business against the Pittsburgh Steelers and Miami Dolphins, respectively, during Super Wild Card Weekend. Now, the squads are set to face off in the AFC Divisional Round next Sunday, January 21 at 6:30 p.m. on CBS and streaming on Paramount+. One of the reasons this game is so huge is because, for the first time, Patrick Mahomes will have to travel to Buffalo. One member of the Bills Mafia, Benny The Butcher, is letting Taylor Swift know that things are going to be different this time around.

With Benny being from the area, he is a huge supporter of the #2 seeded Bills. Of course, everyone knows that Taylor Swift is repping KC. With that in mind, the Butcher sent a little heads-up for Travis Kelce’s girl for when she arrives in Orchard Park. According to HipHopDX, the prolific gritty rapper posted a picture on his Instagram with the caption, “Tell Taylor Swift tap in when she get to Buffalo #BillsMafia.”

It seems that everyone cannot stop talking about the superstar couple this NFL season. While ratings, jersey sales, and more have gone up, fans have shown their disgust for the amount of Swelce coverage. There is a good chance that a great number of people are rooting for the Bills in this one. It is all there for Josh Allen and his team to finally get over the Mahomes hump. They have a home-field advantage and debatably the better roster. It will be the marquee game this coming weekend forsake, regardless of Taylor Swift.

What are your thoughts on Benny The Butcher’s message for Taylor Swift ahead of the matchup between the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs? Who do you have winning this game and why? Who will have the better performance, Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes? Will the winner of this game go to the Super Bowl? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

James Dolan Accused Of Sex Trafficking Masseuse And Leading Her To Harvey Weinstein

by

James Dolan, the owner of the New York Knicks and Rangers, is facing some very disturbing allegations in a new lawsuit. According to TMZ, Dolan is being accused of sexually coercing and trafficking a masseuse while on tour back in 2013. Kellye Croft was a masseuse for the Eagles back in 2013, and after having some issues on tour, she was assigned to Dolan’s band. At the time, he was the opener on tour, so the pairing made sense. However, things eventually allegedly got to an uncomfortable place.

Subsequently, she says Dolan pressured her into sex acts. Moreover, she was flown out to California at his request, which she believes was purely so that he could sleep with her. Additionally, during this time, she met Harvey Weinstein who propositioned her. Despite declining his advances, she says Weinstein allegedly tried to rape her. However, he was stopped when Dolan called Croft’s phone in the midst of the incident. This led to Weinstein allegedly saying “Well, you know Jim and I are best friends. He’s going to be very disappointed that you led me on, this won’t look good for you.”

It was also said that Dolan downplayed what happened at the time, saying Weinstein was troubled. Croft then alleges in 2017, Dolan sent around a song in which the lyrics seemed to indicate Weinstein’s various issues. With this new lawsuit in mind, Dolan’s representation has responded with full force. “There is absolutely no merit to any of the allegations against Mr. Dolan. Kellye Croft and James Dolan had a friendship. The references to Harvey Weinstein are simply meant to inflame and appear to be plagiarized from prior cases against Mr. Weinstein,” the attorney said.

Needless to say, these are massive allegations that could have huge implications for MSG and its teams. Stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates on this developing story. We will always be sure to keep you informed.

Travis Scott’s Bass At A Montreal Concert Was Heavy Enough To Damage A Stanley Cup (The NHL Kind, Not The Viral Kind)

On January 9, Travis Scott performed at Bell Centre in Montreal, Canada, and it appears to have been a mostly ordinary show. One thing stood out, though, albeit something not directly related to Scott or his music.

A couple days after the show, CTV News reporter Kelly Greig shared a photo of the Stanley Cup (the NHL one, not this one) case at the venue, where the Montreal Canadiens play their home games. One of the team’s trophies was missing from the case, and Greig explained, “Eagle-eyed viewers tonight might notice a missing Stanley Cup in the trophy case at the Bell Centre. Apparently the Travis Scott concert on Tuesday has such strong bass three of them fell and one was damaged. Security told me that’s a first.”

Scott, meanwhile, has recently led some to speculate that he’s planning on dropping a new album in 2024. A fan account recently tweeted, “Travis records before every show, and has consistently been previewing new songs at clubs. Wonder if he’s got something on the way.” Another X (formerly Twitter) responded, “Imagine an album where each song is the city it was made in on the tour.” Scott himself responded, “R u in my brain or what ????”

by

Caleb Williams is a special football player. Overall, he has done a lot of good with the USC Trojans. Although he didn’t take them to a National Title, he certainly gave us a ton of highlight reel plays. Furthermore, he won a Heisman trophy which certainly makes him a legend in college ball. There has been a lot of hype around him as it pertains to the NFL Draft. Moreover, there has been debate over whether or not he would even declare.

For instance, a report came out over the weekend indicating how Williams would only declare for the draft if the Chicago Bears traded their pick. Simply put, he has no interest in playing for them. However, it turns out that this report did not have much merit behind it. Today, Williams took to Instagram with a heartfelt message in which he explained his intentions for the offseason. As you can see, he has decided to declare for the draft, despite the Bears waiting to announce a decision.

Stephen A Smith Expertly Trolls The Cowboys, Rips Dak Prescott & Mike McCarthy

by

Stephen A Smith is known for having some massive hot takes when it comes to the wide world of sports. Furthermore, he is known for showing no mercy to athletes and teams alike. One such team that he has always gone hard on is the Dallas Cowboys. Overall, the Cowboys are a team that always finds themselves falling short. Every year, Cowboys fans say they are going to be the Super Bowl champs. However, they always find a way to blow it, even when they have a phenomenal season.

Heading into this year’s playoffs, the Cowboys were seen as a team with a legitimate shot to go all the way. After all, they finished 12-5 and were given the Green Bay Packers in the Wild Card round. This should have been an easy win. Instead, they got pummeled by a score of 48-24. It was one of the worst playoff losses in the history of the Cowboys, and this morning, they are the laughingstock of the league. As you can imagine, Stephen A. made sure to take advantage.

Eminem was in attendance during the Detroit Lions’ first playoff win in 32 years on Sunday night. The team advanced through the wild card round of the playoffs with a 24-23 win over the Los Angeles Rams. The quarterbacks for both teams were traded for one another back in 2021.

Eminem asked the Lions’ former quarterback to let his old team get the win in a video posted to NBC’s Sunday Night Football social pages on Saturday. “Stafford, what’d I say? You owe me this favor, bro,” Eminem said. “I was there for you when you won it. I was there for you, I was right there, I rapped for you Stafford. Bro, I rapped for you!

Draymond Green To Return To Warriors’ Lineup On Monday: Report

by

Draymond Green will reportedly be returning to the Golden State Warriors’ lineup on Monday night as the team takes on the Memphis Grizzlies on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. The NBA suspended Green indefinitely, back in December after he hit Phoenix Suns center Jusuf Nurkic. He was cleared to return after 13 games but has missed an additional three while getting back into playing shape. He’s been weightlifting, practicing, and scrimmaging over the last week.

During his time away from the team, Green admitted that he considered retiring until NBA Commissioner Adam Silver convinced him overwise. “I told him, ‘Adam this is too much for me. … This is too much. It’s all becoming too much for me — and I’m going to retire,’” he recalled on his podcast. “And Adam said, ‘You’re making a very rash decision and I won’t let you do that.’”

Warriors Head Coach Steve Ker said that Green recognizes the importance of this moment in his career during an appearance on 95.7 The Game’s Willard and Dibs. “I think Draymond knows his career is on the line. It really is,” Kerr said, as caught by NBC Sports. “Based on what’s happened over the last year, based on the recent suspension, based on everything that’s gone on — I think he recognizes that it is different this time. This wasn’t a suspension for getting too many technicals. This wasn’t a suspension for one Flagrant foul. This was different. This really put him on notice. He’s put himself on notice. That’s what makes this different. And that’s why his response has to be what it’s got to be.”

In Green’s absence, the Warriors have posted an 8-8 record. For the season, they sit at 19-21, leaving them in 12th place in the Western Conference. Green is averaging 9.7 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 5.8 assists. Be on the lookout for further updates on Draymond Green on HotNewHipHop.

Chargers To Interview Jim Harbaugh

by

The Los Angeles Chargers are the first team to schedule an interview with Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh for their head coaching vacancy. The Chargers are one of six teams with coaching vacancies after firing third-year head coach Brandon Staley on December 15. Harbaugh ended his playing career with the Chargers, making 17 starts over the 1999 and 2000 seasons. If hired, Harbaugh would be the first Chargers head coach to come from the college landscape since Mike Riley came over from Oregon State in 1999.

Harbaugh has served as Michigan’s head coach since 2015 and led the Wolverines to a National Championship earlier this month. While most of Harbaugh’s coaching experience is mostly at the college level, he did serve as the 49ers head coach for four seasons. He led the Niners to a Super Bowl appearance and NFC title games in three of his four seasons. However, Harbaugh was ousted in 2014 after an 8-8, following which the Niners cleaned house. As a result, Harbaugh returned to his alma mater in Ann Arbor.

Jim Harbaugh Considering NFL Return

Despite repeatedly asserting his commitment to Michigan, recent moves by Harbaugh suggest that he is at least considering an NFL return. He hired Don Yee, Tom Brady’s long-time agent who also represents Broncos head coach Sean Payton. Harbaugh interviewed with the Vikings two years ago and had preliminary discussions with both the Broncos and Panthers last season. Despite this, he remained with the Wolverines both times. 2023, despite the national championship, was a frustrating year for Michigan. Harbaugh was suspended for six games for recruiting violations and later sign-stealing allegations.

However, Harbaugh is not the only person the Chargers are considering. They have interviewed six candidates over the last week. Two are internal candidates – interim head coach Giff Smith and OC Kellen Moore. The others are external – Raiders DC Patrick Graham, Ravens OC Todd Monken, Ravens DC Mike Macdonald, and Niners DC Steve Wilks. The next coach of the Chargers will inherit a franchise quarterback in
