Megan Thee Stallion Pays Homage To Beyonce & Britney Spears At The MTV VMAs

As host of the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, there was a lot on Megan Thee Stallion’s mind last night (Wednesday, September 11). But one thing she certainly didn’t forget about was to pay tribute to iconic VMAs history, current big moments in pop culture, and two superstars who represent these pillars to a tee. The Houston femcee recreated Beyonce’s stunning one-piece outfit in red, white, and blue that she used to introduce Team USA for the 2024 Olympic Games. Then, she replicated Britney Spears’ classic outfit for her 2001 VMAs performance of “I’m A Slave 4 U,” complete with a snake that scared the living daylights out of her. “I tried to hold it down for Britney,” Meg shared.

Of course, we know how much Megan Thee Stallion loves her Houston, Texas sister Beyoncé. “Yall i have been ugly crying with my lace lifting all weekend lol,” she expressed on Instagram, where she posted a video of her performing with Queen Bey at their home city’s RENAISSANCE tour stop. “I will never stop screaming about this moment! I have loved @beyonce MY WHOLE LIFE. This means EVERYTHING TO ME!!! I love you [queen bee emoji] thank you thank you thank you for everything.”

Megan Thee Stallion’s Tributes To Beyonce & Britney Spears

Elsewhere, Megan Thee Stallion hasn’t said much publicly about Britney Spears to our knowledge, but this homage certainly makes that admiration and inspiration clear. Overall, it seemed like she had a great time as host and performer. However, now fans are wondering whether the “NDA” MC is sharing these moments with a special someone, as folks recently spotted her out with Torrey Craig in New York City. New relationship rumors are hot off the presses…

Meanwhile, Megan Thee Stallion might have even more stuff planned for 2024, as she just released a single with RM titled “Neva Play.” We wonder whether or not 2025 will be as busy of a year for her, although there’s certainly a lot to compete with when you look at the past nine months or so. A full album rollout and momentary Nicki Minaj beef sound absolutely exhausting. But when you don’t have a lot of motivation, inspiration, or energy, you can always count on the OGs to give you that spark again.

Australian Influencer Draws Bianca Censori Comparisons After Wearing Indecent Dress To Friend’s Wedding

Ever since pairing up with Kanye West, Bianca Censori has been popping up in a lot more headlines. Most of that has to do with her outfit choices. Almost every day it feels like she ups the ante in what is considered actual clothing. Some of that may be influenced by her partner, but still, they can get flat out obscene regardless. Lately, she’s been toning it down, but people are still going to associate her with risqué get-ups no matter how long she continues to be more conservative. In fact, the internet is still coupling her with that stigma, although this time it’s being applied to someone else.

According to TMZ, a fellow Aussie whose name is Tahlia Skaines, is drawing Bianca Censori comparisons for her inappropriate attire. Wearing barely anything in public is obviously taboo, but what’s arguably even more so is that Tahlia did so at a friend’s wedding. In the collage the 29-year-old influencer is showing lots of cleavage and stomach, and in a white dress no less. “A beautiful day celebrating love 🕊”, Tahlia captioned the post to IG.

Overall, this choice has to led a lot of debate online and in her comments section. Some adore the look with one user saying, “Here she is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 main character always”. However, there’s an angry mob with pitchforks and torches ripping into Tahlia for drawing attention away from the bride and groom. “Seriously? Even if there isn’t a dress code did you forget that this day isn’t about you? You wore a nearly identical dress to the bride… have just a shred of decency and decorum ffs.” At this time, it’s unknown if Tahlia was given the green light to wear something like this. So, right now, most are going to assume the worst as long as she remains silent about it.

What are your thoughts on Australian model Tahlia Skaines wearing a Bianca Censori-esque dress to a friend’s wedding? Is this comparison a reach or accurate? Do you think she was allowed to wear that or was she wanting to draw attention to herself in your eyes? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Bianca Censori and this developing storyline. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the pop culture world.

Rihanna Steals The Show At New York Fashion Week To Praise Fenty Beauty’s Creative Director

Rihanna ruffled some feathers online when she seemed to ignore Naomi Campbell at New York Fashion Week recently, but it wasn’t all doom and gloom. Moreover, she went to Daily Front Row’s NYFW Fashion Media Awards to present the Magazine of the Year award to her good friend and Fenty Beauty’s creative director, Jahleel Weaver (as well as his partner Katie Grand, who works with him on Perfect Mag). RiRi donned a $20,000 pink coat over a sheer dress and, with a glass in her hand, gave a speech in Weaver’s honor. “I got called for this less than 36 hours ago,” she remarked. “I wrote this speech in the car because it’s my friend, and I have to show up for my friend.”

Elsewhere, Rihanna is making a lot of other big moves in the worlds of fashion, style, and related endeavors. For example, she recently starred in her first Dior perfume ad, expanding her wealth of product partnerships and potential business opportunities. The Barbadian superstar may not have R9 ready for fans yet, but it’s clear that she built an empire that’s almost larger than her current musical legacy. That’s a tough conversation, though, and it’s obvious that she not only treasures her art very deeply, but that it’s the origin of all her success and creativity.

But more than all that, Rihanna is happiest to be part of a beautiful family with A$AP Rocky and their children. “It’s crazy how we find balance with our chaotic schedules,” the Harlem rapper recently expressed concerning their companionship. “[The relationship] is going great. I don’t think there’s a more perfect person because when the schedules are hectic, she’s very understanding of that. And when the schedule’s freed up, that’s when you get to spend [the] most time together. It’s all understanding and compatibility.”

In other Rihanna news, rumors are already starting about the new album and world tour arriving in 2025. Sadly, this is just what happened last year with the Super Bowl halftime show, and the year before that, and the year before that… But we’ll be patient. After all, with so much under her belt, we imagine that she only wants and needs to drop music when she really feels like it’s special.

NLE Choppa Gets Roasted For Bold NYFW Looks

Criticism is certainly nothing new for NLE Choppa, and unfortunately, it’s not limited to just his music and online antics. Over the weekend, the “Slut Me Out 2” rapper has been showing off his bold looks for New York Fashion Week. One of them features a long black skirt and a sheer top, two belts, and a pair of sunglasses. The other features sheer pants and a sheer top, which Choppa paired with various pieces of eye-catching jewelry.

Sadly, critics in 2Cool2Bl0g’s comments section were quick to weigh in on his fits, and most of them were less than impressed. “N***a went lingerie,” one writes. “Alright I’ve seen enough,” someone else says. While many of the comments are negative, others came to his defense, noting how he has a right to wear whatever he wants.

NLE Choppa Shows Off His New York Fashion Week Fits

At the time of writing, NLE Choppa has yet to directly respond to the backlash. Earlier today, however, he took to his Instagram Story to share an inspirational message from his mother, Angela Potts. “People are so afraid to step out of their comfort zone, to come out of that shell, to get out of that box, dare to be different because of what someone else is going to say about them,” she explained. “Keep missing your blessings worrying about an opinion that doesn’t matter anyway.”

Clearly, this is some solid advice for the 21-year-old artist, as his fashion week fits aren’t the only thing earning him backlash these days. Earlier this month, he hopped online to announce that he was “coming out.” Shortly after, he followed up with a Tweet confirming that he was talking about a new project. What do you think of NLE Choppa showing off his looks for New York Fashion Week? Which one is your favorite? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

50 Cent performed in front of a ton of celebrities for the launch of Poppi’s new Cherry Cola flavor in honor of New York Fashion Week on Friday night in his hometown.

For the event, 50 performed several of his most popular songs from throughout his career. He rocked a white and red Versace t-shirt with a matching red New York Yankee hat.

Taking to Instagram afterward, he shared two posts in honor of the event. In one, he uploaded a screenshot of a Variety article covering the party with the caption: “I ain’t gonna hold you I had mad fun last night NYC Fashion week!” In another, he shared a video recap from the night. Fans showed plenty of love to 50 in the comments section. “This your year man. Thank you for putting on for the City and showing us NY niggas how to do it,” one user wrote.

Yung Miami Draws Mixed Reactions To Her Bizarre New York Fashion Week Look

Yung Miami was turning heads and raising eyebrows during New York Fashion Week thanks to a pretty unique and even perhaps controversial outfit choice. Moreover, she donned a sheer see-through dress adorned with many black “A’s” to adorn her skin, as well as added black floral pieces around her legs, arms, and chest. The big detail is a larger black flower on Caresha’s face that covers most of her mouth, eyes, and nose, but leaves one circle completely open for her to peer with her right eye through. It’s a pretty eclectic and stylish combo, and one that pairs well for someone who might not want to be fully in the public eye due to the scandal involving Diddy.

Regardless, that’s just an unconfirmed and purely speculative interpretation of what Yung Miami’s dress could mean or symbolize. “When you in witness protection but still got to go to events to pay the rent,” one user joked about the Diddy situation. But beyond that, folks were pretty split when it comes to how to feel about this outfit. You can check out the comments section of the Instagram post below to see what people had to say about it.

Yung Miami Turns Heads At NYFW With Odd Dress

Elsewhere, Yung Miami is making some really big moves in other areas apart from fashion, one of which is her interpersonal online relationships. She has clashed with a few different folks on social media, with DJ Akademiks being one of her biggest thorns. But it seems like they might bury the hatchet soon, as they apparently agreed to do an interview together for the former City Girl’s podcast Caresha Please. We don’t know what this convo would even look like, nor whether or not it would be amicably successful, but it would definitely be an interesting one.

However, this doesn’t mean that Yung Miami is cool with Ak’s former Everyday Struggle cohost, Joe Budden. He recently eviscerated her on his podcast due to how she made fun of him getting his gold “Pump It Up” plaque over 20 years after it released. It was a pretty ugly clap-back, but it was a pretty petty provocation. All is fair in love and war… And fashion, in this case.

Ex-Yeezy Designer Claims Kanye West Has “Lost His Mind” And Works With “Toxic Losers”

Kanye West is still rolling VULTURES out with Ty Dolla $ign, but he’s also dealing with a media firestorm that has raged on for years now. For example, one of the many consequences of his antisemitic rants was the end of his Yeezy parternship with Adidas in 2022, one that famous sneaker designer Steven Smith helped broker all the way back in 2016. But it seems like that ship has also sailed. Moreover, new reports emerged that Ye fired Smith in early August of this year, and Smith spoke to Fast Company about this development. They described him as “a sensitive defender of Ye and, in particular, the treatment of his mental health.”

He’s lost his mind,” Steven Smith said of Kanye West, which definitely indicates that he’s no longer as sympathetic as the publication suggested. “The whole of Yeezy is circling the drain and this is just part of it. He has surrounded himself with toxic, C-grade losers. […] I’m in a very happy place with it all. I will certainly be a priceless asset to whoever I work with next. It’s all his loss and the result of his foolishness.”

Furthermore, Kanye West has apparently also blocked Steven Smith on Instagram, but Smith didn’t really elaborate on why Ye fired him, or if this is actually how things went down. After all, Fast Company claims that Smith “reached a breaking point” when the Chicago artist tried and failed to launch a porn company. But it’s difficult to identify exactly what caused the breakdown of their relationship, mostly because the heaps of controversy over the past few years leave a lot of options on the table.

Meanwhile, other Kanye West antics these days involve the arrest of a woman who claims he telepathically ordered her to steal a car. Whether it’s the zaniest of zany headlines or legitimately disturbing sexual harassment accusations, there’s a lot to unpack. Sadly, things haven’t really gotten any easier to deal with as of late. We just have to wait and see what happens next in the saga of Ye, and hope that there are brighter days to come.

Jennifer Lopez Returns With A Thirst Trap As Ben Affleck Divorce Develops

Jennifer Lopez hit social media with a new selfie this week, showing off her body and trying to return to normalcy amid her contentious Ben Affleck divorce. She officially filed for the split earlier this month, following a few months of rampant speculation and a lot of conflicting reports. Moreover, it seems like things are finally dying down between the couple for good, although we wouldn’t rule out another reconciliation down the line. Either way, it seems like this new Internet return signals that normalcy is coming back little by little, even if it’s a lot of weight and gossipy intent to attribute to a simple thirst trap.

Regardless, folks are looking back at their bond with a more critical eye these days, especially concerning another scandal involving one of Jennifer Lopez’s other romantic partners. For example, some social media users brought up a clip of Big Boy asking her to choose between saving Ben Affleck or Diddy if she only had space for one of them on a life raft. “I’d let both of those motherf***ers drown!” the Bronx native exclaimed during their conversation. While it’s a pretty funny moment thanks to their reactions, this divorce and Sean Combs’ various misconduct lawsuits paint it under a darker context.

Jennifer Lopez’s New Thirst Trap

Nevertheless, there are still a lot of other rumors swirling around Jennifer Lopez’s divorce from Ben Affleck and her career struggles as of late. One particular narrative that caught many fans’ attention online was that Mariah Carey is allegedly happy to see her downfall. However, this report comes from an unverified source, so it’s more likely than not that it’s just a salacious rumor. Either way, it does have people reflecting on J. Lo’s legacy with more scrutiny, but also with more empathy.

As far as other alleged divorce details, another supposed insider report claimed that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez broke up because he fears that her fast lifestyle will lead to his reversion to alcoholism. These are incredibly personal and heavy allegations, so take them with a grain of salt. Perhaps we will never truly know the reason as to why they called it quits. But then again, that’s certainly not for us to know.

Bianca Censori Isn’t Worried About Her Cleavage During KFC Stop With Kanye West

As somewhat cringe-inducing lyrics on songs like “Lord I Need You” off 2021’s Donda prove, Kanye West likes some Kentucky Fried Chicken every once in a while. Sadly, his other chicken references (about breasts and thighs…) on other projects, namely VULTURES 2, are even more uncomfortable. Do we even need to talk about “Closed On Sunday”? Nevertheless, speaking of finger-licking good breasts and thighs, Ye recently hit up a KFC with his wife Bianca Censori, who clearly understood that this would be a funny double entendre. She wore a skimpy top for the occasion (as usual), showing off a lot of cleavage. Fans learned of this stop thanks to some CCTV footage you can find by clicking the “Via” link down below if you’re curious.

Furthermore, believe it or not, this isn’t the most bizarre or random public interaction that Kanye West and Bianca Censori have experienced in recent days. Well, considering all their antics, maybe that’s not saying much. Regardless, they recently ran into a group of supporters at what seemed like a Beverly Hills pro-Trump event, and they were very happy to see them pull up on the side of the street. Ye and Trump still seem quite chummy, so this is no surprise.

As for other Kanye West news… As you can imagine, it’s a bit of a doozy. Far-right pundit Nick Fuentes recently claimed that he wanted to change his name to a swastika, which is a pretty self-explanatory red flag. But considering previous antisemitic rants, name changes, and other reclamations of identity, we guess we can’t express too much shock at this claim. After all, it’s just an unfounded claim from a distant colleague, so there might not be any truth to this.

Meanwhile, another unconfirmed story around this couple is that Kanye West is allegedly obsessed with getting Bianca Censori pregnant. “[Kanye’s] been trying to have it done the natural way, but the word is he’s been a little unsuccessful,” an alleged source reportedly told In Touch. “So apparently now he’s planning the insemination or IVF route. One of the main reasons he picked and groomed Bianca is because [he thinks] that her DNA will be a perfect blend with his to make the most genetically blessed offspring. He’s always obsessed [over] achieving the perfect human specimen. So he’s very excited to have Bianca consulting with doctors to figure out the best option.”

Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty CEO Quits After Just One Year

Rihanna’s Savage X Fenty brand has grown a lot over the years, netting her a whole lot of profit. But it seems like the company might go through some big changes soon, as a new change in leadership will mark a new era. Moreover, their CEO Hillary Super reportedly left Savage X Fenty and accepted an $18 million offer to work at Victoria’s Secret remotely. According to The Star, she will start her new job on September 9, although it’s not explicitly confirmed if this is about the specific $18 million offer or other terms. Regardless, this news arrives just over a year after Super started at Savage X Fenty in June of 2023 with an unknown salary. Victoria’s Secret broke the news on August 14.

However, we’re sure that Rihanna will find a suitable replacement for the role at Savage X Fenty. She might not be stressing out about it too much right now, especially considering that she just enjoyed a vacation in her native Barbados. RiRi went to the Crop Over Festival, spent wholesome time with A$AP Rocky and their kids, and even hung out with friends. Once she gets back to home base and feels rested, she can think about who her next company head will be.

Furthermore, Rihanna also has a lot to think about concerning her long-awaited ninth studio album. While we know that it’s on the way along with rumblings of a 2025 world tour, it’s all speculative at the moment. As such, we recommend you just keep your eyes peeled for any significant and official updates on the matter. Until then, many reports about the project remain rooted in rumor.

Meanwhile, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky’s Barbados vacation celebrated their son Riot Rose’s first birthday. Their outings and family time contrast a lot with their moves as artists and entrepreneurs, but in a more positive way than most. As such, fans seem quite content with enjoying their content and supporting them in their journey. But they also really want their next great works of art, so any extracurricular elements will fall to the wayside once they arrive.
