Ari Lennox Dons A Helmet At Her Show After Bottle-Throwing Incident

by

Ari Lennox recently learned the hard way that it’s not the best time to be a live performer right now. Moreover, we’ve seen a pretty common trend of concertgoers throwing things at artists for various reasons, of which most of them are quite disruptive or disrespectful. For example, as she opened up for Rod Wave on his tour recently, someone in the crowd threw a water bottle at her, which caused her to pop off on whoever did it quite aggressively– and understandably. However, it seems like the Dreamville singer found a temporary and fashionable security solution to this risk. During her opening set on this tour on Thursday night (November 30) in Oakland, she wore a helmet to protect herself from any serious flinging.

Furthermore, this happened as footage emerged of security confronting the girl who threw the bottle at Ari Lennox. In fact, they hilariously gave the bottle back to her, so perhaps even the strictest of guards keeps things professional where most of us would’ve thrown the bottle away. Regardless, she joked whether she should keep the helmet on, and it seems like her set went swimmingly after that. Not bad for someone who is typically known for bubbly and positive music to go from full-on fronting to playful aloofness.

Regardless, the “Get Close” singer recently acknowledged that these opening concerts have actually been quite difficult for her for a myriad of reasons. For example, she told Angela Yee during an interview that she notices how the crowd is there for Rod Wave’s more melancholy material, whereas she’s there to have a good time. “It’s hard,” Ari Lennox expressed. “It is because I’m opening up for young people and… You know what I realized? I think my music is a little too happy. And I mean no shade, right? But it’s too like, ‘Pressure,’ and his is, like, different. So, I think the people are just like, ‘What the hell is this happy s**t on here?’”

Meanwhile, the Washington, D.C. native is still as great of a performer as ever, and it’s great to see her overcome this with a smile on her face. As difficult as performing is for many artists, it’s also a trial by fire that they can choose to fuel or control. Let’s just hope that she doesn’t have to wear that helmet out of necessity, and perhaps uses it as a style statement. On that note, stay posted on HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Ari Lennox.

Ari Lennox Bottle Thrower Found At Concert, Security Confronts Them: Watch

by

One of the most painful trends to see in live shows these days is when concertgoers revert to the old vaudeville days. By that, we mean that fans are increasingly likely to throw things at artists, whether it’s something for them to sign or something to stir up some chaos. Falling into the latter camp is a girl who threw a bottle at Ari Lennox during her performance as part of Rod Wave’s tour. She popped off on her, and it was one of the more aggressive but still totally understandable responses to incidents like these we’ve seen as of late.

Moreover, now we have new footage to look at that shows security confronting the culprit who dared anger the “Get Close” singer. In the clip below, you can see how the girl presumably tries to explain what happened or fight back against the conclusion that guards had to escort her out. One hilarious detail towards the end of this short video is that the guard holds out her bottle for her to grab. At least we know that security personnel keeps things comically professional: you’ll get what you throw at Ari Lennox back to you, because it’s yours, but they’re still going to ask you to leave.

Ari Lennox’s Bottle-Throwing Concertgoer Gets Confronted By Security: Watch

Furthermore, the Dreamville star is one of many victims of antics like these, for which every artist will have a unique and personal response. Regardless of how she reacted, it’s disheartening to see this disrespect, especially when she typically gets so much praise for her live performances. Ari Lennox deserves the utmost respect onstage, as does every other performer, and some fans find that a hard reality to consider. After all, when these artists are sold to us as gargantuan figures, we sometimes forget that they are still grounded in real emotions and frustrations.

Meanwhile, the Washington, D.C. native actually spoke about her complicated relationship with seeking validation within her art and career. It’s a struggle that many entertainers face, but nevertheless one that’s unique to each person that can inform their reactions to jests like these. Hopefully this is one of those trends that doesn’t follow us into the new year. For more news and the latest updates on Ari Lennox, log back into HNHH.

50 Cent Won’t Face Charges For Mic-Throwing Incident During Concert: Report

by

In case you already forgot about 50 Cent’s microphone-throwing incident during an August concert earlier this year, the court is here to remind you that you have plenty of time to reacquaint yourself before the case officially closes. However, they informed us of this by officially stating that they will not criminally charge him for this incident. Moreover, legal authorities will keep the filing open until August 30, 2024, exactly one year after the incident. This means that the New York rapper must behave during this time, as he could still be reevaluated for criminal charges if anything else occurs between him and the poor soul that he struck in the head by flinging his mic into the stands.

For those unaware, 50 Cent became frustrated with technical difficulties during a show in Los Angeles. When he lobbed it into the crowd with force, it hit Power 106 radio host Bryhana Monegain, leaving her with lacerations on her face and head that needed medical attention. She filed a police report shortly after, which went to L.A. County’s District Attorney as a felony, and then landed in the Los Angeles City Attorney’s office. This last entity is the one that let TMZ know that Fif is not getting criminal charges right now and will not receive them, as long as he stays out of trouble with Bryhana and in general for the next ten months or so.

“Let’s be very clear,” 50 Cent’s lawyer Scott Leemon expressed in a statement concerning this incident. “As I told LAPD this afternoon, my client Curtis would never intentionally strike anyone with a microphone. Anyone saying something different doesn’t have all the facts and is misinformed.” This situation caused many to criticize the G-Unit MC for his actions despite his legal dismissal of any wrongdoing, including longtime rival The Game.

Meanwhile, others like DJ Envy actually came to his defense here, so in the public eye, it’s still pretty divisive. Still, at least in the legal sense, it looks like this is where the case will rest, and where it will hopefully stay for the next ten months. As such, it’ll be more of a debate and wild moment to look back on than another drama-fueled and contentious narrative. For more news and the latest updates on 50 Cent, log back into HNHH.

Chrisean Rock Reveals She Threw Phone At Coi Leray Over Being Fake

by

Chrisean Rock’s celebrity fights are usually reserved for the Baddies reality TV show, but she can’t avoid them in real life, either. Moreover, she recently confessed that she had a spat with Coi Leray over a failed collab and proximity to her then-boo, Blueface, that resulted in Rock throwing her phone in Coi’s face. From what the Zeus Network darling expressed on The Jason Lee Show in a new bombshell interview, it seems like the Massachusetts MC was being “fake” in her eyes, trying to pretend like there were no tensions between them. Sounds like she just didn’t want to take it that far, but alas, Rock had business to stand on.

“I thought she wanted to do a collab on some music, but really she was just trying to out me out the plan and bag my n***a and some other s**t,” Chrisean Rock expressed. “I’m like, ‘You can have [him], I just want the verse.’…We fell out because she wanted what she wanted. She had a hidden agenda when she hung out with me.” You can find this discussion around the 2:01:30 timestamp in the full interview below.

Then, the Baltimore native claimed that she met the “Players” artist on a tour bus with GloRilla earlier this year while she was still pregnant. “[Coi Leray] in everybody face,” Chrisean Rock added. “She know we not cool. You can ask anybody that was right there. N***a, I took out my phone, I’ll buy a new one, I threw that b***h at her face. She just wanna sit in my face and smile. I ain’t know what it was. But I didn’t give a f**k what it was.”

Meanwhile, this conversation also ended up revealing a lot about the mother of one’s current situation. She explained a lot of the headlines, antics, developments, and huge scandals that have defined her post-childbirth media space. At least things are slightly better now, but it remains a pretty contentious and difficult spectacle to navigate. On that note, come back to HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Chrisean Rock.

GloRilla’s Former Bodyguard Fired For Not Beating Up Person Who Threw Water

by

GloRilla’s former bodyguard said that she fired him for not going back to beat up the person who threw water at her at an Oakland venue. Moreover, he maintained that he did his job in the moment: protecting Glo and making sure that she got out of there safely. However, the Memphis MC apparently told him to go back to the venue and make a vengeful attack on the culprit. “I did my job, it’s complete,” he said during a video rant. To be fair, he said that he would’ve been much harsher to the crowd if they actually posed a threat or attacked them outright.

However, he stood by the fact that the person who threw the water was throwing it from the sides in the crowd. As such, he didn’t have much reason to get confrontational, as they weren’t directly in the rapper’s face. In fact, the former bodyguard said that he wouldn’t risk losing his license or catching an assault charge for petty and unwarranted retaliation. It’s not like Glo was scared or directly in danger, and the bodyguard defended the fact that he did what he had to do and nothing more.

GloRilla’s Former Bodyguard Speaks On Why He Was Fired

Moreover, the incident stemmed from miscommunication between the “F.N.F.” star’s camp, the venue promoters, and the crowd. According to the promoters, they paid GloRilla to perform, not host or do a walk-through, and her team agreed. As such, the venue promoted the event as a performance, not just any old appearance. However, both Yo Gotti and GloRilla clapped back and said that they didn’t come to such an agreement. Not only that, but they claimed that the promoters did not pay them enough for an actual performance.

“$30K to perform,” the CMG wrote alongside laughing emojis on Instagram. “[You] must [have] booked Lil Glo, NOT Big Glo #CMG.” Furthermore, Glo took to Twitter to voice her frustration. “Ain’t no ho spit on s**t!!!!!! Ask dat ho how ha face feel doe. No way you think I’m performing when you paid for a hosting, crazy tail self.” If the bodyguard’s story is correct, one thing’s for sure: going back to beat a disappointed fan up would’ve been an even bigger mess to clean up. Regardless, stick around on HNHH for the latest news on GloRilla.

GloRilla Throws Wig At Fans Who Tried To Snatch It Off

by

GloRilla’s concert highlights continue, as she recently threw her wig at a crowd of fans who were trying to snatch it off. Moreover, the Memphis MC performed at one of her last tour stops in Philadelphia and took a moment to crowd surf. As she made her way through the rowdy patrons, many hands tried to grab her wig. In various social media clips, you can see the “F.N.F. (Let’s Go)” hitmaker look back incredulously at fans. However, she took matters into her own hands when she took the wig off and threw it in the crowd.

In fact, she even referenced the occasion in a cheeky tweet published shortly after her show. “Dey tried to take my wig while I was crowd surfing so I snatched it off & threw it in da crowd,” she wrote. After posting some laughing emojis, she added, “Philly was lit.” Furthermore, this is part of a recent saga of Glo’s noteworthy performance moments, ranging from the outstanding to the unfortunate. For example, Cardi B recently came out at the 23-year-old’s concert at her home city of New York. Of course, they performed their recent hit “Tomorrow 2” together to an overjoyed audience.

GloRilla Takes Wig Off After Fans Try To Snatch It

Another instance of GloRilla’s live stardom occurred when Moneybagg Yo gifted her an iced-out Bread Gang Entertainment chain on stage. However, not all of her exploits resulted in triumphant moments. When patrons discovered that Glo was hosting and not performing at an Oakland nightclub, they threw water on her as she walked by. Afterwards, both her and label boss Yo Gotti responded to the incident, and also to promoters blaming them for not fulfilling their performance agreement.

“$30K to perform,” Gotti posted on Instagram with crying-laughing emojis. “[You] must [have] booked Lil Glo, NOT Big Glo #CMG.” On her end, Glo tweeted “Ain’t no ho spit on s**t!!!!!! Ask dat ho how ha face feel doe. No way you think I’m performing when you paid for a hosting, crazy tail self.” Since then, stories around her tour have been much more positive. Regardless, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest on GloRilla.
