YNW Melly Appears In Court As Double-Murder Trial Kicks Off: Where To Stream

by

After years of waiting behind bars, it’s officially time for YNW Melly’s double-murder trial. Things are finally kicking off today (June 12) in Broward County, Florida. As Miami New Times reports, the rapper is facing charges of killing two of his affiliates back in October 2018. YNW Sakchaser (born Anthony Williams) and YNW Juvy (Christopher Thomas Jr.) were reportedly shot at by Melly inside a gray Jeep Compass. Afterward, they were driven to the emergency room by his accomplice, Cortlen Henry.

The accused killer and his assistant assert that Sakchaser and Juvy were killed in a drive-by shooting. However, prosecutors in the case state that the forensic evidence shows the story was fabricated. Melly (real name Jamell Demons) turned himself in in February 2019. Police subsequently arrested him on capital murder charges. Nevertheless, the 23-year-old has vehemently denied the allegations against him in the years since. Attorneys have long attempted to free the “Murder On My Mind” artist as he sat behind bars awaiting trial to no avail.

Watch YNW Melly’s Trial Unfold Live from Broward County

From what we’ve seen from the courtroom so far today, the Florida native seems to be in good spirits, especially considering the recent update regarding the death penalty potentially looming over his head. While he temporarily had that sentence taken off the table ahead of trial, things took a dramatic turn earlier this month when it was confirmed Demons will be the first person tried under a new law making it easier than ever for a jury to make the fatal decision. Rather than securing a unanimous vote, they instead simply need to rule 8-4 in favour of ending Melly’s life.

Things are only just getting started in Broward County this morning, but there are sure to be plenty of noteworthy updates coming our way later this week.

Adin Ross Wants Lil Durk And NBA YoungBoy To “Talk Out Their Differences”

by

Streamer Adin Ross recently shared during a stream that he’d like to get Lil Durk and NBA YoungBoy together to squash their ongoing beef. He said, “I really want to do this because I think it’ll show we can put shit aside.” Later telling commenters, “don’t laugh it’s real.” Ross revealed, “I want to bring together Lil Durk and youngboy,” explaining that he wants “to have them come together and talk out their differences like men.” He quickly clarified his previous statement, adding, “I’m not saying you guys aren’t men by the way.” “You guys are both men, trust me,” he explained.

Ross continued, saying, “I was gonna say we could do it in person and shit, it would kind of just be too dangerous.” Adding, “If you guys came in Discord on the stream and you guys talked it out (…) it might be fun, who knows.” He told the rappers, “So let me know if you guys would like to do that shit, you know.” No Jumper later reposted the clip, revealing viewers’ feelings on the offer. Many feel as though the feud is too intense to be solved through a simple conversation.

Ross Thinks The Rappers Should Talk It Out

One viewer writes, “Their beef is too deep, they’re never gonna go back together, even though they made one song together, called My Side back in 2017.” They added, “even though their beef should’ve not occurred which is very odd because they never had issues prior to King Von passing away.” Another commenter simply wrote, “Ain’t ever seen somebody so stupid in my life.” The rappers’ feud surrounds the passing of Lil Durk’s mentee, King Von. He was shot during a incident involving YoungBoy’s partner Quando Rondo, leading to his 2020 death. The rappers have both released diss tracks, on top of various social media digs at eachother over the years.

DJ Akademiks recently stated during a stream that the beef between the two rappers “is squashed.” He said, “Durk and them don’t have beef no more.” Adding that he, “might have forgot to tell the public that.” It is unconfirmed whether the rappers have actually solved their issues with one another, or if this is simply speculation.

Lil Yachty & Kai Cenat Discuss DDG’s Diss Track

by

Lil Yachty was recently on Kai Cenat’s stream, where the two talked about a lot of different topics, some funnier than others. For example, the Let’s Start Here artist complained about Drake’s “annoying” toilets that apparently play a Tupac song whenever you open one. However, Lil Boat also took the chance to stroll down memory lane for a second, and remembered when DDG dissed him on the track “Big Boat.” Moreover, he also explained that he said he didn’t know who the YouTube rap star was (which prompted the diss) because he already knew of a group at his high school that went by the same name.

The record-breaking and award-winning streamer remarked that DDG is the type of person who will really capitalize on a successful endeavor. Not only that, but the “Minnesota” MC agreed, stating that he really respects and likes him as a businessman and hustler. Kai Cenat also asked Yachty how he felt when he saw it, and he said he felt “so confused.” Still, they made sure to give credit where credit was due when it came to DDG shaping his brand and feeding his fans.

DDG’s “Big Boat” Diss Track

Despite that initial beef, Lil Yachty and DDG would actually go on to release music together. For one, there’s the latter’s track “Rule #1” produced by OG Parker, which landed on Parker and DDG’s collaborative tape, Die 4 Respect. Even though he faced a lot of criticism and came up in quite a clout-chasing-heavy scene, the 25-year-old is still a relevant figure in the Internet world. Whether it’s for his collabs with other rappers or his continued (albeit sporadic) success on YouTube, he’s always got something cooking.

Back to the stream, though, Lil Yachty and Kai Cenat seemed to have a really good time, even as they talked about toilets. “Every bathroom in [Drake’s] house has heated seats,” Yachty revealed. “And every bathroom in his house, when you walk up to the toilet, it opens and starts playing 2Pac’s ‘Hit ‘Em Up.’ I swear to God! Every time it’s like, ‘Yeah, you fat muthaf*cka!’ It’s so annoying when you gotta take a s**t ’cause it keeps looping.” Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest on Lil Yachty, DDG, and Kai Cenat and check out the clip below.

Adin Ross Gets “Swatted” Multiple Times, LAPD Responds

by

Popular YouTuber and streamer Adin Ross got “swatted” multiple times recently, so much so that the LAPD responded. For those of you who don’t know, “swatting” refers to the practice of calling the police about a shooting or high-risk event that would prompt a SWAT team or law enforcement to arrive at a property. What makes these calls “swatting” is that they are completely false and only done to prank a content creator or celebrity. For example, Lil Wayne woke up one night to find police in his Miami mansion due to a false call.

In fact, this situation became so frequent for Ross that officials told TMZ they’d change responses to calls regarding him. Before sending patrol cars and helicopters, police will contact his security team first. Hopefully a revised confirmation method will result in the content creator being more at peace. However, following a Twitch streaming ban and multiple public controversies, that peace seems harder to find than ever. One instance of his reproached behavior is his continued support of Andrew Tate, whose misogynist views garnered much criticism online.

Adin Ross Gets Swatted Too Often For The LAPD’s Taste

Regardless, swatting is serious business and can even result in severe injury, punishment, or loss of life. Tragically, an innocent man passed away after he faced a swatting incident in his home. Reportedly, he fought with another player over a Call of Duty match and his opponent made the call to send police to his home. What’s more is that it’s affected multiple celebrities to varying degrees, whether it’s unearthed information or simply disturbing their well-being and sense of security. Still, at least in Adin Ross’s case, he still has quite the huge following despite these bumps in the road and controversies.

Meanwhile, the 22-year-old’s antics and proximity to the rap world even resulted in a few conflicts and disses. For example, YoungBoy dissed the streamer after he allegedly liked Adin’s girlfriend’s Instagram picture and the YouTuber clapped back. “Tell that YouTuber or streamer, whatever he is,” YB rapped in a song snippet. “Stop playin’ with me, b***h / You ain’t man like that, know them gunnas layin’ with me, b***h / I ain’t got no Instagram, no social media, I wasn’t talkin’ to yo b***h / Ugly a**, y’all disgustin’, you n***as make me sick.” Regardless of that exchange, come back to HNHH for the latest on Adin Ross.

Kodak Black Makes “GTA V” Player Strip At Gunpoint On Stream

by

Rappers are just like the rest of us sometimes. After a hard day’s work, an award ceremony, or performance, sometimes they just want to get online and destress with some video games. Kodak Black recently did so in hilarious fashion while streaming GTA V with friends. Moreover, he tried the role-play mod on PC for the first time, which lets players assume specific roles like policemen and delivery workers, but still involved the typical Grand Theft Auto shenanigans. In fact, Kodak held a player at gunpoint and told him to strip, which made for a hilarious interaction.

“I don’t want them jeans, fam,” the “ZEZE” rapper demanded in the viral clip. “Okay, that boy butt naked. Take them boxers off, take them boxers off, homie. Let me see how big that d**k is, fam. Let me see if you’re a man, homie.” For what it’s worth, pretty sure that’s not a feature in the game yet, but it prompted some funny reactions from the game chat. Many shouted “pause” in response to the Florida rapper’s comments. Still, Yak laughed along with his colleagues, and for any gamers out there, it does take you back to those early days of random encounters through game chat. You’re probably just not used to a famous rapper holding you up in-game.

Kodak Black Wilds Out On GTA V

In fact, the crossovers between GTA and rap are quite interesting and come from many different levels of experience. For example, the game often includes tracks from prolific hip-hop gamers like Danny Brown in its soundtrack. However, when Dr. Dre appeared on GTA Online: The Contract with new music with Eminem, Anderson .Paak, Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, the late Nipsey Hussle, Ty Dolla $ign, and Rick Ross, he wasn’t even a fan. “[Dre] had no idea what [Grand Theft Auto] was about because he’s not a gamer at all,” producer DJ Pooh expressed around its release. “He never played them. He was blown away [by] how deep you can get into the whole thing. He’s like, ‘Oh s**t!’”

Meanwhile, Eminem almost starred in a GTA movie back in 2001 after the release of Grand Theft Auto III. “[The agent] said: ‘Kirk, we’ve got Eminem to star, and it’s a Tony Scott film. $5 million on the nose. Are you interested?’” Kirk Ewing remarked, a friend of series creators Sam and Dan Houser. “And I phoned up Sam and I said: ‘Listen to this. They want Eminem in the Grand Theft Auto movie and Tony Scott to direct.’ And he said: ‘Not interested’ … They realized that the media franchise that they had was bigger than any movie that was going on at the time.” Regardless, the series is still one of the most iconic franchises and certainly video games of the past thirty years. Still, come back to HNHH for the latest funny gaming moments from hip-hop stars like Kodak Black.

The Weeknd Celebrates As “Blinding Lights” Becomes Spotify’s Most Streamed Song

by

The Weeknd’s hit song, “Blinding Lights,” has reportedly become the most-streamed song on Spotify of all time. The Toronto singer celebrated the news on Twitter on New Year’s Eve.

“FOR NEW YEARS ???,” The Weeknd wrote, before following up, “happy new years to blinding lights. the most streamed song of all time tonight.”

The Weeknd first shared “Blinding Lights” back on November 29, 2019, as the second single from his fourth studio album, After Hours. The track debuted at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 but went on to spend four weeks at the top spot. It eventually became the first song to hold a spot in the top 10 on the chart for an entire year.

According to Spotify’s Daily Global chart, the song has passed Ed Sheeran’s “Shape of You” by 918K filtered streams. Sheeran discussed the possibility of “Blinding Lights” passing his song on The Breakfast Club, earlier this year.

“‘Blinding Lights’ is about to take over ‘Shape of You’ as the most-streamed song of all time. And I don’t think that that debuted at #1. I think it debuted at like 11 or 12. And then it grew, and now it’s the biggest song of all time,” Sheeran said at the time.

In addition to “Blinding Lights,” The Weeknd also ended 2022 as Spotify’s most-streamed artist of the year. He dropped his latest album, Dawn FM, back in January. It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 with 148,000 album-equivalent units. It was supported by the singles, “Take My Breath”, “Sacrifice”, “Out of Time” and “Less than Zero.”
