Meghann Cuniff Drops Merch Inspired By Tory Lanez’s Insult To Her

It’s odd to say that a reporter had a “breakout year” much like a rapper would, but Meghann Cuniff defies all odds. Moreover, the reporter gained a lot of notoriety over the past two years thanks to her hard-working diligence and dedication while covering the Megan Thee Stallion and Tory Lanez shooting case. In fact, she provoked the latter’s ire so much that he called her a “googly-eyed b***h,” a title that she’s happy to embrace as part of her brand. Another common title of the journalist’s is “Meghann Thee Reporter,” and we just got good news about how we can rep this moment in our everyday lives.

Furthermore, Meghann Cuniff just launched a new merch series with three logos referencing these names and her job. Bryson “Boom” Paul designed the logos, a fellow journalist who has also worked tirelessly to fairly, accurately, and clearly report on some of hip-hop’s biggest crime stories. The new pieces– comprised of either mugs, hoodies, shirts, and stickers with one of these logos– are available on the Southern California-based media figure’s website. Both reporters thanked each other for their help and for their work on social media, which is a heartening thing to see between two 9-to-5ers (and probably a whole lot more) in the media.

Meghann Cuniff Launches Merch Line

“Thank you to @meghanncuniff for reaching out and trusting me to create her logos as she ascends to a new level of notoriety in the media landscape,” Paul expressed on Twitter. “Congrats on the breakout 2023 and may the success continue in 2024. #meghanntheereporter.” “Thank you so much, Bryson!” Meghan Cuniff replied. “I am very excited to unveil everything for you all! I’ll start accepting pre-orders later this week for some MTR and GEB swag.”

Meanwhile, as for the Tory and Megan case, not much has happened as of late in the strictly legal sense of it all. Sure, some more gossip emerged surrounding her former bodyguard, but that’s mostly for the online narratives and rumor mills. Hopefully the words of “Boom” ring true and Cuniff continues to find great success in 2024. For more on Meghann Cuniff, Tory Lanez, and Megan Thee Stallion, come back to HNHH.

Young Thug Teases New Clothing Brand As YSL Rico Trial Resumes

Young Thug is currently in jail as he stands trial in the YSL Rico case. This is a case that has a lot of implications for the future of hip-hop. Overall, some lyrics are being used as evidence, which brings into question the whole idea of freedom of expression. Furthermore, Thug is a highly influential artist, and if he were to be convicted, there is a chance that he could be locked up for decades. Needless to say, there is a whole lot at stake here. However, the trial has been confusing due to a myriad of factors.

Prior to Christmas, a co-defendant was stabbed in jail which subsequently led to a delay in the proceedings. On Tuesday, the trial officially resumed and Thugger was all smiles in the courtroom. This has been a lengthy process, so we can imagine just how happy he is to get this show on the road. In fact, Thugger has more than just the law on his kind these days. Recently, he took to Instagram where he promoted a brand-new clothing line called Act Normal. You can see the IG story, below.

“If you support me then…you know the rest,” he wrote. Furthermore, there was a link to the brand’s website which is still very much a work in progress. As HipHopDX reports, Isaiah GQ is a part of the brand. Meanwhile, it is unclear what Thug’s association is. He has his own brand called Spider, although this could be a separate endeavor. Either way, the first collection for Act Normal should be coming out soon. Hopefully, we get some more details on this, very soon.

Let us know what you think of the new brand, in the comments section below. What are some of the pieces that you would like to see? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will always keep you informed on your favorite artists and all of their upcoming releases.

Outside of fashion, Jada will likely be working on her next book after releasing Worthy in 2023. Speaking on Sway In The Morning in October, she hinted at having more books lined up. “I know it seems like it’s a lot of life because it is a lot of life in the book, but it’s very streamlined. There’s like layers and layers and layers and layers. There’s no way I could have put it all in one book,” she said. “So there’s definitely other books to come. I mean, even Will and I are thinking about writing a book. We were talking about this last night, writing a book called Don’t Try This at Home, where he and I kind of sit down and talk about our specific journey together.”

Playboi Carti Shows Off Iced-Out Custom Opium Watch

Playboi Carti is setting himself up to have maybe his most successful year yet. When the end of the year rolls around, we might be referring to him as the hip-hop MVP. That will be for a multitude of reasons. The Georgia rapper could be ready to drop his eagerly-awaited album Music. We have already gotten four great singles from the project already. “2024,” “H00DBYAIR,” “Different Day,” and “BACKR00MS” have all been driving the fans into a frenzy.

That is especially true for the latter of them. The song has well over four million views on YouTube and continues to be the top trending video. Apart from Playboi’s solo success, he has the Opium music label as well. Ken Carson and Destroy Lonely are setting themselves up for success too.

Megan Thee Stallion Previews Upcoming Nike Collection During NYE Performance

Megan Thee Stallion is someone who has continuously showcased her talent to fans. Overall, she has gained a significant amount of popularity over these past five years. Although she has been through so much, she has continued to show people that she is resilient. That resiliency will be taking her well into 2024 as she looks to drop a new album as an independent artist. Moreover, she has some pretty cool collaborations on the horizon. For instance, she is going to be working with Nike.

If you watched her New Year’s Rockin’ Eve performance, you would have noticed that she had somewhat of a WWE outfit on. However, upon closer inspection, the purple get-up was branded with the Nike swoosh. Soon after this look popped up, Sole Retriever reported on the extent of the collection and what fans can expect. Essentially, there will be a plethora of pieces including a jacket, bras, a onesie, a crop top, a bodysuit, and even shorts. Needless to say, Nike and Megan are going all out.

Saweetie’s St. Barts Vacation Photos Prove She’s Ending The Year On A High Note

We’re still waiting on Saweetie’s debut album, but that doesn’t mean the Icy Girl is leaving us totally in the dark. As she continues to craft what she hopes comes across as a cohesive body of work, we can confirm that she’s currently living her best life in St. Barths. While many stars are spending the final days of 2023 in Aspen, Saweetie decided to beat the cold weather and show off her bodacious body in glamorous outfits. In one of her latest photo dumps, the California native’s curves were sparkling in a sequin-clad dress that kept all eyes on her.

“St. barth me plzzz 🙂🛥🥂🌊✨,” she wrote in the caption on Saturday (December 30). Interestingly, many Instagram users in the comments are comparing Saweetie to another recording artist with a surgically enhanced physique. “Why do [you] look like SZA in these pics?” one person asked. “I thought it was SZA for a split second,” another agreed.

Of course, that’s not all the content the “Best Friend” hitmaker has been sharing from her trip so far. Yesterday her feed lit up with a carousel that kicks off showing Saweetie in a sexy yellow dress, with flirty cutouts beneath her breast and on her thigh.

It looks like the fashionista was enjoying some booze while posing for photos, and Flo Milli is already praising her in the comments. Elsewhere, Benny Drama, Tay Money, and Jena Frumes are all singing Saweetie’s praises ahead of 2024. Even if she postpones her project for another year, we’re curious to see what designers she’ll don next.

Lil Yachty Tells Fashion Haters To Check Themselves

Lil Yachty fired back at fans trolling his fashion sense on Twitter, Friday. In doing so, he told users on social media to check themselves before judging his outfits. Yachty had shared several pictures of one of his more colorful looks, earlier in the day.

In response to the fit pic, one user replied: “Bro wearing nursing student scrubs.” Another joked: “Respectfully this sh*t look like what the whovilles from whoville wear.” Yachty eventually shot back: “i be seein some of yall outfits as yall try to judge mine and i be appalled.”

His fashion choices aren’t the only thing that Yachty’s done to warrant backlash on social media as of late. Last month, he argued that hip-hop is in a “terrible place” during an interview at Rolling Stone‘s “Musicians on Musicians” event in Brooklyn, New York. “Hip-hop is in a terrible place,” Yachty said, as noted by Complex. “The state of hip-hop right now is a lot of imitation. It’s a lot of quick, low-quality music being put out.” He continued: “It’s a lot less risk-taking, it’s a lot less originality. People are too safe now. Everyone is so safe. I rather take the risk than take the L.” Many fans on social media and media pundits alike took issue with the remarks. Yachty did, however, admit many artists are pushing the boundaries today and named JID as an example.

Rihanna’s Aspen Vacation Highlights Include “Real Housewives” Run-In & Gift From Kyle Richards

Rihanna is easily one of the biggest celebrities in the world, but that doesn’t mean she never gets starstruck when crossing paths with others in the limelight. It’s no secret that the mother of two is a fan of Bravo’s Real Housewives franchises, and during her ongoing vacation in Aspen with ASAP Rocky and their sons, she was fortunate enough to cross paths with Kyle Richards. The Halloween actress is a regular on the Beverly Hills edition of the show, and she happened to be shopping at the same private room in Kemo Sabe with Rih and the Mayers boys on Thursday (December 28).

According to TMZ, the reality starlet was with her daughters and estranged husband, Mauricio Umansky, during her unexpected run-in with the Bad Gal. When Richards overheard an employee mention that Rihanna was in the building, she took a chance and asked for an introduction, to which the latter reportedly said, “F**k yes!” Their families spent some time mingling together, and after, Kyle came through with a late Christmas gift for her new friends.

Rihanna Gets a Late Christmas Gift from Kyle Richards

The RHOBH cast member was kind enough to spend nearly $900 on a turquoise beaver hat, which is sure to bring a fun pop of colour to some of Rih’s future fits. According to an insider, the “Umbrella” singer only made a visit to the store because she previously saw Richards shop there on TV. Besides her gift, the Barbadian beauty also left with new boots, belts, and hats to spice up her wardrobe.

Rihanna’s been continuing on her trend of being a worldwide “Fashion Killa” in Aspen, but we would expect nothing less of her. When cameras first caught her and ASAP Rocky on their holiday trip, we were pleased to see the happy couple rocking matching shoes to coordinate ther outfits. Find photos of that adorable moment at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Halle Bailey Calls DDG “Daddy” While Celebrating Second Anniversary With Lavish Dinner & Gifts

When we think of recording artists who are also notorious internet trolls, figures like 50 Cent and Lil Nas X quickly come to mind. However, Halle Bailey is proving she can keep up with the men this year as gossip about her alleged pregnancy has been running rampant since the summer. After several clues came up throughout the holiday season, a growing number of fans are certain that the 23-year-old quietly welcomed her first child with DDG. From a crying baby in the background of their holiday vlog to Bailey suddenly showing off her stomach in real time again, the evidence in support of the young couple starting a family continues to grow.

Of course, the “Do It” hitmaker and her man owe us nothing, but still, some feel entitled to personal details about Bailey’s life. As she refuses to address the situation, the fashionista is instead teasing her Snapchat followers by flaunting the stunning jewelry DDG got her for their second anniversary. “Daddy iced me out,” Halle told the camera as her man gave us a full look at how he spoils his other half.

Halle Bailey Looks Happily in Love with DDG

Later on in the evening, the Atlanta native showed off a delectable selection of desserts for her and DDG to dine on. Despite them all looking delicious, Bailey made it known that, to her, the “Elon Musk” artist is the only sweet treat that matters. As she playfully squeezes his cheek in the clip above, he takes her hand in his and sweetly holds it, showing how affectionate their bond truly is after so much time together. Bailey’s fans have been critical of her beau in the past, but she seems happier than ever by his side.

Halle Bailey’s stylist was working overtime in 2023, not only making The Little Mermaid actress look incredible at all her feature film debt’s premiere events but also potentially shielding her baby bump from the public eye. She and DDG are both on our annual best dressed artists of the year list, and you can check out everyone else who caught our eye with their style at the link below.

ASAP Rocky & Rihanna’s Matching Shoes On Aspen Trip With Sons Show How In Sync They Are

A lot has changed for Rihanna and ASAP Rocky this year, but at the end of it all, they remain among our favourite style icons. For the Bad Gal, 2023 began with a bang as she prepared for (and bodied) her Super Bowl Halftime performance. During that, she confirmed that baby number two was on the way before spending the spring and summer serving up more maternity inspiration for fans.

Now, Rih and Rocky continue to settle into parenthood, though they’ve admitted they’re still hoping to add a little girl into the mix in the future. It’s unclear if the fashionista hopes to get pregnant again so soon after having Riot, like she did with RZA, or if she’ll be taking time to focus on releasing the music she’s been promising fans for some time now, and heading out on a subsequent tour.

Rihanna and ASAP Rocky Enjoy the Final Moments of 2023

While we wait to find out what her 2024 plans are, paparazzi have spotted the Fenty Beauty founder out in Aspen with her family. Earlier this week, cameras caught all three Mayers boys and their matriarch, with Rocky stealing the show in his disco ball-inspired pants. The Testing rapper paired the bold piece with a brown and white fur coat over a grey hoodie, notably carrying both of their little boys, who were also dapperly dressed. Rih looked far more casual than ASAP in her mom jeans and shacket. Still, she and the New Yorker did cutely coordinate by rocking the same shoes.

In terms of their aesthetics, Rihanna and ASAP Rocky are always on point. However, the Barbadian is reportedly dealing with her share of anxiety over the possibility of her man serving time in prison over his gun trial with ASAP Relli. Read more about that at the link below, and since we can’t post them directly on HNHH you can find paparazzi snaps of Riot and RZA’s parents out in Aspen by clicking the Via.
