DaBaby Goes Scorched Earth On YouTuber Who Accused Rapper Of Stealing $20K

by

DaBaby is currently in a battle with a YouTuber named Lah Mike. Overall, this is all because of a 20 vs 1 video that the rapper made with him. As the story goes, Mike paid DaBaby $20K for the video. However, he claims that DaBaby ended up running off with the cash. “DaBaby ran of [sic] with 20K I paid him for a video… Please don’t scam me bro. This is my livelihood,” the YouTuber said on Instagram. “I don’t even have a full video. I’ll fix whatever you need, bro. Please come finish the video… Please don’t fuck me over.”

The rapper was not happy with that assertion, claiming that he only walked off of the set because of a situation that went down. The YouTuber went on to say that his own grandmother who has cancer fronted him the money because she wanted to see the video before passing. In a response, DaBaby went off on Mike, claiming that using his grandmother for sympathy is ridiculous.

Ye Trolls Sheck Wes After “Mo Bamba” Rapper Claims He Robbed His Musical Style

by

Nearly six years ago, Sheck Wes had parties going wild with his mega hit “Mo Bamba.” It appeared on his debut album MUDBOY and it has been a defining song in the Cactus Jack/G.O.O.D. Music signee’s discography. However, the Harlem, New York native has had a hard time replicating that same intensity and hype around his music since then. His inaugural LP is still the only one he has to his name and the last single he dropped was in 2022 with “PAIN!” Regardless of the time in between the release of “Mo Bamba” and now, Sheck Wes is not going to let anyone discredit it, not even Ye.

According to HipHopDX, Sheck felt some type of way about one of his bosses’ comments that went viral yesterday. Those statements were Ye’s reactions as to who he feels is the best rapper ever. In typical fashion, he championed himself the G.O.A.T. saying that he washed Drake “AT THE FREE HOOVER CONCERT” and “WASHED KENDRICK ON NO MORE PARTIES IN LA.” This was seemingly a response to the recent diss from K-Dot sent Drake’s way on “Like That.”

Ye Is Feeling Himself On Social Media

Sheck Wes responded to Ye’s self-confident rant by calling him a thief of the “Mo Bamba” sound to nab a number one hit with “CARNIVAL.” “You stole my whole cadence, flow, beat, tempo to get #1 u delusional and u ain’t check in w the buzzins!! U n****s really bugged out!” Wes seemingly deleted the comment, but his G.O.O.D. boss caught it just in the nick of time. Ye decided to troll him by reposting the clap back on his IG story, as well as “Mo Bamba.”

What are your thoughts on Ye’s response to Sheck Wes? Do you think the VULTURES rapper stole Sheck’s style on “Mo Bamba” for “CARNVAL,” why or why not? Is Ye the best rapper alive right now? What song of the two do you prefer? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Kanye West’s Allegedly Stolen YZY GAP Merch Sold At LA Pop-Up, Dov Charney Puts Them On Blast

by

It’s no secret that Kanye West is making a ton of cash off of Yeezy, and allegedly, an LA pop-up recently tried to get in on some of his success. Today, a clip of Dov Charney accusing said pop-up of stealing Ye’s YZY GAP clothes and selling them for profit started to make its rounds online. In the clip, the American Apparel founder is frantic, shouting about the allegedly stolen goods until police intervene.

“This merchandise has been stolen!” he yells, “From Ye, formerly known as Kanye West!” Eventually, a law enforcement officer ushered him away from the storefront, and they exchanged a few words that can’t be made out in the clip. “On what grounds?” Charney then asks loudly, “This was stolen! Ongoing investigation?” He appeared to rally some support from onlookers.

American Apparel Founder Goes Off Over Kanye West’s Allegedly Stolen Goods

The YZY Gap pop-up was promoted by Urban Necessities and SRGN Studios on social media earlier this week. They also boasted that every item would be on sale for $20 and be available on a first-come, first-serve basis. Originally, the pop-up promised that over 60,000 items would be available for purchase. Shortly after it opened, however, it was shut down by the Los Angeles Police Department. Authorities confirmed that they had received a call about possible theft in a recent conversation with Complex, also stating that there is an ongoing investigation into the pop-up.

Ye seemingly supported the theft allegations by reposting the above clip of Charney on his Instagram Story today. It remains unclear how organizers of the pop-up were able to get their hands on the merch. What do you think of an LA pop-up being accused of selling stolen YZY GAP merch? What about Dov Charney calling out the pop-up publicly for the alleged theft? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Beyonce Accused Of Ripping Off Package Design For Her Hair Care Brand

by

Last month, Beyonce announced her new hair care venture Cecred. Fans were initially disappointed by the announcement as they were hoping for some new music. Little did they know at the time that Beyonce was about to turn around and make a huge announcement a few weeks later. Most of the attention directed at the singer now has to do with her upcoming new album RENAISSANCE Act II. The album’s lead single “TEXAS HOLD EM” currently sits at number one on the Hot 100.

But fans haven’t forgotten entirely about Cecred, though that may be for the wrong reasons. That’s because someone pointed out how much the packaging of the brand reminds them of another brand, New Zealand’s TWYG. “The first image is the newly launched CÉCRED the haircare brand from Beyoncé. The second image is a New Zealand-based skincare brand TWYG, which I shared on a work WhatsApp group back in November. There is a stark similarity, let’s be honest both are aesthetically pleasing, impactful but horrifically over packaged,” the post reads. While it doesn’t make a direct accusation of copying, the pictures provided caused fans to jump to that conclusion. Check out the original post below.

Beyonce’s Hair Care Line Called Out

One of the designers being TWYG took notice of the post and responded. “As the designer behind TWYG skincare’s brand and packaging, launched in June 2023, I couldn’t help but feel a pang of deep disappointment upon discovering Beyoncé’s recent hair care packaging,” she commented. “Over the span of 18 months, my team poured countless hours into TWYG, with a significant portion of that time dedicated to crafting the custom-formed lids,” she further explained.

Beyonce’s new album is due out on March 29th. Fans are curious just how thoroughly she will explore the sounds of country music present on the album’s first two singles. What do you think of Beyonce’s new hair care line being accused of stealing from a smaller brand? Do you think the similarities are a bit too suspicious? Let us know in the comment section below.

Kylie Jenner Once Again Accused Of Design Theft, Called Morally Corrupt

by

Despite being one of the biggest celebrities on Earth, or perhaps because of it, Kylie Jenner has had her fair share of controversies. This time it’s spawning from her fashion line Khy, which has been controversial in the past. Jenner has been accused of stealing designs before, but this may be the biggest instance yet. Jessica Johansen, who has a fashion line of the same name, took to social media following a recent Khy release. In multiple posts, she essentially accuses Jenner of ripping off her entire collection.

“I’ve had Johansen for like 10 years now…we launched a collection so similar to the one she just launched but we launched ours three or four years ago and its been our signature range ever since…we’ve dressed Kylie before so I just thought it was old stuff. But I’ve been getting so many DM’s I started looking into it…I was shocked,” Johnson said in one of her posts. She included several side-by-side comparisons of her own pieces with why Khy recently released. Many of the fans in the comments agree with her that the similarities are striking. Check out one of the videos she shared below.

A post shared by the Jasmine BRAND (@thejasminebrand)

Earlier this month, news broke that Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott were lowering the price for their mansion after it hadn’t sold yet. They dropped the price down from nearly $22 million to just under $18 million with a new realtor in an attempt to move their Beverly Hills mansion.

Earlier this year Kylie Jenner went viral for a photo where some fans found her looking unrecognizable. Critics in her comments blamed the supposed change on long term use of facial fillers, though there’s no real evidence that that’s what’s going on, or even that she looks all that different in the first place. What do you think of Kylie Jenner being called out for allegedly stealing fashion designs once again? Do you think her designs are too similar to Jessica Johansen’s? Let us know in the comment section below.

Wendy Williams’ Ex-Husband Claims Her Sister Stole Almost $15 Million From Her

by

Wendy Williams is unfortunately the subject of a lot of media scrutiny and debate right now thanks to the controversial Where Is Wendy Williams? documentary. Moreover, amid aphasia and dementia struggles, shifting responsibilities for legal guardians, and a lot of family accusations, it’s a tough map to navigate. But her ex-husband Kevin Hunter Sr. thinks that the Lifetime docuseries missed out on some key narratives and bad-faith actions when it comes to the iconic TV host. Specifically, he alleged that Williams’ sister Wanda took advantage of her under false pretenses that she would get her show back.

“Ok so everyone heard “f**k Kevin” through docu-series,” Wendy Williams’ former partner wrote on his Instagram Story this weekend. “Np the SHOW took precedent over EVERYTHING including family. What I guess they let out was that while she was in Florida getting recovery 3 yrs ago there were the secret calls her SISTER would set up with DEMBAR MERCURY (MORT & IRA). With false pretense that she would be getting show back. That was a lie and broke s**t more than anything.

Wendy Williams’ Husband Accuses Her Sister Of Stealing Up To $15 Million

“They only were trying to get her there to satisfy an insurance claim so they could obviously replace losses and the money that they were STEALING (5-15mil),” Kevin Hunter Sr. continued. “They wanted CONTROL her SISTER was trying to get ultimate control herself and was medical proxy @the time. But her naiveté allowed her only to be PLAYED and once she got back to NY they kicked her sister out and she spiraled WORSE. I was involved @ the time… blood on ALOTTA HANDS.” Of course, with Wendy Williams not addressing many of these claims at the moment, this makes it very hard to discern what is really going on.

However, she did take some time to thank fans for their support. “I want to say I have immense gratitude for the love and kind words I have received after sharing my diagnosis of Aphasia and Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD),” the 59-year-old stated. “Let me say, wow!  Your response has been overwhelming. The messages shared with me have touched me, reminding me of the power of unity and the need for compassion. I hope that others with FTD may benefit from my story. I want to also thank the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration for their kind words of support and their extraordinary efforts to raise awareness of FTD.” For more news and the latest updates on Wendy Williams, stick around on HNHH.

Logic Put On Blast For Allegedly Stealing Paintings

by

Logic is currently in the process of rolling out his eagerly anticipated album Ultra 85, which is expected to arrive in March of this year. At the beginning of this month, he dropped a new track called “Fear” alongside an accompanying music video starring Portland-based drag queen and makeup artist Tajh “Flawless Shade” Jordan. While the song and video’s message earned Logic quite a bit of praise from fans, the feedback he’s received lately hasn’t been all positive.

Earlier this week, he dropped a new episode of Logically Speaking featuring his father. In the episode, Logic explains why he’s decided not to give his loved ones large sums of money anymore, as it pains him to see it go to waste. During the conversation, he described himself as a “millionaire,” and later shared a clip of it on Twitter/X.

Painter Accuses Logic Of Not Paying Him

Painter Maha Sattva saw the clip and replied to it on X, accusing Logic of stealing various pieces from him. “OKAY B*TCH YOURE A MILLIONAIRE BUT YOU STOLE 7 paintings from me. Pay me for them. I’m not asking for a handout, you f*cking owe me for them,” he wrote. Sattva later shared alleged screenshots of their conversations about the paintings, in which Logic offered to shout him out for sending them to him. In another screenshot, the rapper asks about pricing, though specifics aren’t discussed.

“Logic saw some of my paintings that he liked, and so he asked me to send them to him; in exchange for him shouting me out to his millions of followers,” Sattva explains in a subsequent Tweet. “This was his idea, not mine. He also had asked how much they would cost, but that never amounted to anything. He got the paintings and repeatedly thanked me for them and said he would shout me out ‘soon’ […] It’s been 7 years, he’s never held up his end of the bargain.” What do you think of Logic being accused of stealing several paintings from an artist?

Cardi B Gets Response From Woman She Called Out For Stealing Her Outfits

by

The artists with the most fans and buzz usually have a lot of vocal haters, and that’s certainly the case for Cardi B. Considering how open, unfiltered, and brutally shady her public statements can be, it’s no surprise that she ruffles her dissidents’ feathers with ease. Moreover, during the Bronx MC’s latest press run for her new single with Megan Thee Stallion, “Bongos,” she stopped by The Breakfast Club and addressed this very topic. “She got so much s**t to say about me, but she always copying my birthday looks!” she said of a friend’s colleague who apparently always steals her fits and talks smack about her. Now, it seems like this mystery girl heard about these comments, rolled up her sleeves, and responded on her Instagram Story, doubling down like a true hater would.

“Very Much BEEN That Girl!” she wrote after she saw Cardi B throw some shots her way. I always had nice clothing since high school and I never been the type to RUSH & wear my clothes. I have sooooo many high end pieces in my closet that I haven’t even got to wear YET that I’ve had for weeks, months, & YEARS. So the woman with a million faces can kiss my A$$.”

Cardi B’s Unnamed & Alleged Outfit Copycat Responds

As one social media user noted, Cardi B didn’t name anyone, but someone’s shoe fit the description, and it seems this individual (who we can’t confirm is the one Bardi referred to) thought as much. Not only that, but she didn’t stop there and dissed the 31-year-old’s career and persona further. “You suppose to be this RICH WIFE ENTERTAINER BUT WORRIED ABOUT MY OPINIONS!” she continued. “Tf lmaooooo. Go write a RAP yourself ALONE in a room. Or worry about rehearsals for tomorrow bozo the clown.

“Just a regular girl from around the way that can afford the same things as these CELEBRITIES & they BIG MAD & Gagging,” she added before calling the rapper out for appropriating and stealing Black culture. The question now is, is the “JEALOUSY” artist really that pressed about this that she’ll keep this going? Only time will tell. Come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Cardi B.

Police Mistake Lil Uzi Vert For A Puppy Thief

by

Earlier this week, a puppy was stolen from Brookside Pups in Pennsylvania, and authorities took to social media to notify the public. The Wilkes-Barre Township Police Department shared a photo of the missing pup, alongside a photo of the suspect. The suspect pictured, however, was none other than Lil Uzi Vert, which managed to confuse a lot of fans. They quickly realized what they had done wrong, later removing the post after only around 30 minutes.

Apparently, the mix-up happened as a result of the pet store sending police the social media account of the actual suspect. The man in question had Uzi set as his profile photo. The police department later corrected their mistake, sharing a photo of the actual suspect, who also has face tattoos. Police also claim it’s the pet store’s fault for sending them the wrong photo.

It looks like Roc Nation was pretty upset by the whole thing, based on a statement they shared with TMZ about the mix-up. “The Wilkes-Barre Township Police Department should be embarrassed and ashamed for disparaging [Uzi’s] character. This grave error could’ve had significant repercussions on Uzi’s career and epitomizes how Black men can be wrongfully charged and arrested by police departments across the country.” They continued, “Uzi loves all animals and this serious mistake has deterred the apprehension of the kidnapper. Our collective hope is that the puppy is safely and promptly rescued.” The stolen puppy’s whereabouts, unfortunately, remain unknown.

As for Uzi, the rapper just recently turned in their latest mixtape, Barter 16. They’ve been teasing it since dropping Pink Tape over the summer, and fans can’t wait to hear it. It’s a tribute to Young Thug’s 2015 Barter 6 mixtape. Uzi’s been spotted dressed as the rapper, and even posed nude for the new LP’s cover art, to stay true to the original. There’s also been several leaks online lately, which could continue to push back the official release date. Keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Lil Uzi Vert.

Pharrell & Louis Vuitton Accused By Fashion Designer Of Stealing Her Idea

by

Pharrell is having a ball as Louis Vuitton’s head designer, though it hasn’t come without some scrutiny as of late. Moreover, an independent fashion designer Kellie Ford recently claimed that the Neptunes creative and LV stole her idea for a bag as part of their new collection. In a series of TikToks, she details how she went viral in 2021 for turning a shopping bag from the brand into a stylish purse. In addition, Ford drew connections between the look of that item and the new accessory in question, also inspired by the shopping bag. Regardless of where you fall on the debate, it’s hard to deny that it’s quite the murky affair.

First of all, as many pointed out in comments of coverage of the allegations, the designer was using Louis Vuitton’s image in the first place. However, it’s unclear whether Ford actually sought to make a profit off of the bag by selling it, so copyright claims might not actually hold any ground. Dapper Dan was one of many who praised her, and he started out doing a similar practice with Gucci and eventually went on to work for them. Between differences in material, questions over creative credit, and the clear viral nature of the video, there’s a lot to discuss here when it comes to whether to not Pharrell bit the idea.

Kellie Ford Accuses Pharrell & Louis Vuitton Of Biting

In any case, it’s also not entirely implausible to think that these two talented creatives had a similar idea separately. After all, what easier way is there to inspire yourself to make a bag than by looking at another bag, albeit a shopping one? As such (and given that Ford said she wasn’t necessarily mad about it), it will be interesting to see if this actually develops into something larger. Hopefully the designer follows a similar trajectory as others and eventually gets hit up to work at the fashion brand, because her creativity certainly merits it.

Meanwhile, the star producer is turning heads everywhere he goes during Paris Fashion Week. After a star-studded show, his first forays in Louis Vuitton are proving to be quite successful. Still, a lot of people hope that the 50-year-old will at least show some love to Kellie Ford. For more updates and the latest news on Pharrell, stick around on HNHH.
