Victoria Monet’s Alleged Half-Sister Demands Answers From Biological Father

Earlier this month, Victoria Monet took to social media to share a heartfelt Father’s Day post, unveiling a photo of herself alongside her dad. She revealed that it was the first time she got to spend the holiday with him, and suggested that the sweet moment was “healing.” The post prompted another young woman to come forward, however, alleging that the man in the photo is her biological father too. This would mean that unbeknownst to her, she and Monet are allegedly half-sisters.

In a new TikTok, she explains that she was raised by her stepfather, and only met her and Monet’s alleged biological father once. She questioned why he felt comfortable publicly spending time with Monet whilst knowing that he had another child out there, who he didn’t bother to get to know.

Victoria Monet’s Alleged Half-Sister Speaks

“The only question I have for him is what did I ever do to you for you not to be in my life?” she says in the TikTok. “Like, what did I do?” The Neighborhood Talk‘s comments section is currently flooded with users siding with the young woman, and empathizing with her situation. Many are also speculating that the man may have only reached out to Monet for clout, and reminding her that his behavior is not a reflection of her worth.

“She focused on the daddy NOT her sister. She ain’t wrong,” one Instagram user writes. “Baby it’s a HIM problem,” another says. At the time of writing, Monet has yet to publicly address the situation. What do you think of Victoria Monet’s alleged half-sister coming forward after seeing the performer’s Father’s Day post? What about her questioning why her father didn’t want to be a part of her life, despite seemingly rekindling his bond with Monet?

Tommy Richman Is Already Preparing His Debut Album, “Coyote”

Tommy Richman has announced his debut album, Coyote, and the project is dropping soon. Sharing pictures from a photoshoot with Billboard on Instagram, Monday, he wrote: “ANNOUNCING MY DEBUT ALBUM. ITS CALLED COYOTE. BACK OF BILLBOARD MAGAZINE. Thx @billboard. SHOT BY JOSH BELVEDERE.” The move comes just two months after the release of his breakout single, “Million Dollar Baby.”

When the NFR Podcast reposted the news on X (formerly Twitter), fans were surprised by the announcement. “This dude moving quick,” one fan replied. “Usually mfs that come out the gate with a hit will stretch the hit for like a year with remixes and sh*t before they do anything else. Like dawg yall remember jack harlow had what’s poppin summer of ‘19? That sh*t was everywhere for over a year before he dropped an album.” Even Russ responded with praise for Richman: “He’s moving with a sense of urgency and capitalizing on momentum unlike a lot of artists who catch 1 song and parade around for a year and then miss their moment. Kudos to him and his team. You can tell the artists who are prepared to blow up vs the ones who aren’t. Move like you know it’s gonna happen.”

Kanye West Fan Catches Him Sleeping On Plane With Bianca Censori: Watch

It’s no secret that Kanye West is a busy guy, and fans can’t blame him for getting some rest whenever and wherever he can. Either way, one supporter was still shocked to see the Chicago MC sleeping on a recent flight to Japan. He couldn’t help but capture the unexpected moment in a TikTok. The video shows Ye seated alongside his wife Bianca Censori in economy, fast asleep in a cozy white robe. The robe had his name embroidered across the chest, indicating that he wasn’t trying to keep their trip on the low.

While Ye was catching up on his beauty sleep, Censori appeared to be wide awake and on her phone. She did rock a similarly comfy outfit, however. The Australian model stunned in a sheer white cloak, similar to the one she was recently seen wearing on their excursion in Italy.

While some social media users were surprised to see Ye on his way to Japan, others were more taken aback by the fact that he and Censori were in economy seats. Rumors that money could be tight for the performer are flying as a result. This is unconfirmed, however, and it’s certainly possible that he’s simply trying to save where he can. After all, it’s not the first time fans have seen him kicking it with the commoners. The couple also frequents chain restaurants like the Cheesecake Factory, Denny’s, and more.

They’ve also got a big trip ahead of them, as it’s reported they plan to celebrate Ye’s 47th birthday in Italy, where the pair never fails to go big. What do you think of a fan spotting Kanye West and Bianca Censori on a flight to Japan? What about him catching up on his beauty sleep in economy? Can you blame him?

WATCH: Trailer for 50 Cent Executive Produced True Crime Doc ‘TikTok Star Murders’ From Peacock

Trailer for 50 Cent Executive Produced True Crime Doc ‘TikTok Star Murders’ From Peacock

Streamer Peacock just released the new trailer for the true crime documentary “TikTok Star Murders,” which 50 Cent executive produced. 

The documentary will unpack the relationship between TikTok personality Ali Abulaban and his wife Ana, which, on the surface, seemed great but ultimately took a deadly turn for the worse. 

Here’s the official synopsis:

Ali and Ana Abulaban have it all — great jobs, a beautiful young daughter and the promise of stardom. A TikTok creator who gained popularity under the username JinnKid in late 2019, Ali is known for his viral Skyrim and Scarface comedic impressions, often featuring his beautiful wife, Ana. To his fans, Ali is talented, funny, charismatic and has a picture-perfect relationship with the modelesque Ana. They seemingly have it all, but not everything online is as it seems. Under the surface is a relationship falling apart, full of domestic violence, and Ali is filming it — disturbing never-before-seen footage of private fights from his cell phone. Narcissism, addiction and crippling jealousy all play a role in Ali’s desire for control and fame, while Ana seeks independence and a happy life for her and her daughter. The relationship disintegrates, and in October of 2021, the abuse takes a deadly turn that leaves two people dead, and another facing a lifetime behind bars.

The seemingly compelling documentary will employ private, never-before-aired cellphone footage and audio to trace how the couple’s relationship led to murder. The doc includes first-time interviews with the couple’s close friends and family, commentary from reporter Kelsey Christensen, who interviewed Ali upon his arrest, and insights from a clinical forensic psychologist.

Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson is executive producing alongside Zak Weisfeld, Libby Richman, Elizabeth Fisher, and George Plamondon, who will serve as the showrunner.

“TikTok Star Murders” is set to premiere on June 25.

TikToker Lilly Gaddis Fired From Her Job After Using The N-Word And Refusing To Apologize

Just a few days ago, a TikToker by the name of Lilly Gaddis went viral for saying the N-word. Overall, her usage of the word was so casual that many were stunned. So much so that they had to play the video back to see if they heard correctly. Throughout the video, Gaddis was trying to talk about the concept of gold diggers and how her friends don’t fit the description. “Everyone I know that is married right now is married to broke-ass n*****,” she proclaimed.

Subsequently, the video went viral on social media, with many stunned by Gaddis’ remarks. However, Gaddis did not care. Instead, she took to social media with a video in which she said “The backlash made me do a deep dive and soul search, and after all that, I still couldn’t find a care.” Needless to say, it seems like she is angling to become some sort of right-wing personality. That may be her only option going forward as according to TMZ, she was fired from her job as a marketing and sales manager.

Lilly Gaddis’ First Video

Rophe of the Carolinas put out a statement in regards to Gaddis’ behavior. However, Gaddis does not seem to care. In fact, she blamed social media for getting herself fired. Furthermore, she claimed that this was an assault on her first amendment rights. At this point, she is going full grifter, and doesn’t seem to have a care in the world as it pertains to whom she might offend. Once again, social media has made the wrong person famous.

Refusal To Apologize

Let us know what you think of this situation, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that Gaddis is simply looking to become a conservative grifter with this? What do you make of the reactions to her video on social media, and how it got so big in the first place?

Childish Gambino Hilariously Shuts Down TikTok Critic With New Song Preview

It’s no secret that being a huge artist comes with quite a few perks, but it also means that your work is subject to intense scrutiny. This can likely get annoying to those simply trying to express themselves through their art, prompting them to fire back. Childish Gambino did just that earlier this week, getting creative with his response and giving fans a preview of some upcoming music in the process.

He shared a TikTok that begins with a fellow user criticizing him, saying “Here are the reasons I don’t f*ck with Donald Glover.” From there, the video cuts to Childish Gambino looking jaded with an unreleased song playing in the background. “He’s finding out that nobody gives a f*ck,” he sings on the track.

Childish Gambino Expertly Fires Back At Hater

Fans first got a taste of the upcoming song last week in another TikTok, which sees Childish Gambino sitting in a car, staring blankly as it plays. It’s tentatively titled “Lithonia (Nobody Gives a F*ck),” and listeners expect it to appear on his upcoming album, Bando Stone in The New World. The project, first announced in April of this year, will follow his latest release, Atavista. Reportedly, it will be the last album he drops under his rap moniker, and will also serve as the soundtrack for an upcoming film.

This isn’t the first time Childish Gambino supporters have gotten a preview of his new music, however. During a DJ set at the Gucci Cruise 2025 fashion show in London last month, KAYTRANADA debuted their upcoming collaborative track. It’s unclear if listeners can also expect to hear that on Bando Stone in The New World, or if it’ll be featured on a KAYTRANADA project. What do you think of Childish Gambino’s response to a fellow TikTok user criticizing his work? How does his unreleased song sound so far? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Will TikTok Really Be Banned In The U.S.?

The immensely popular video-sharing app TikTok has been under intense scrutiny in the United States due to concerns over data privacy and national security. In April 2024, President Biden signed into law legislation that requires ByteDance, TikTok’s parent company in China, to divest from the app or face a nationwide ban. As the fate of TikTok hangs in the balance, many wonder if the app will truly be illegal in the U.S. 

The TikTok Bill & Its Implications

The Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, included in a $95 billion foreign aid package, gives ByteDance 270 days to sell TikTok. It includes a possible 90-day extension if needed. If ByteDance fails to comply, TikTok could be banned nationwide. The bill has gained bipartisan support. Lawmakers have expressed concerns over the potential for the Chinese government to access sensitive user data through the app. This legislation marks an important step in the U.S. government’s efforts to address the concerns of foreign-owned tech companies, particularly those with ties to China.

TikTok has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government, arguing that the law is unconstitutional and violates the First Amendment. The company’s CEO, Shou Zi Chew, has said that TikTok users will continue to have access to the platform as the bill is challenged in court. The outcome of this legal battle remains uncertain, and the case could potentially end up before the Supreme Court. It is likely that the legal process will be lengthy and complex. There will be a need for courts to strike a balance between national security concerns and the protection of free speech and due process.

Data Privacy Concerns & Comparisons

Intelligence officials have not provided direct evidence of data transfer between TikTok and the Chinese government. However, they have stressed the potential risks. TikTok’s data collection practices, while extensive, are not entirely unique among social media platforms. The data collected by TikTok “pales in comparison” to the information already available for purchase through U.S.-based data brokers, per Nebraska Examiner. This raises questions about the singling out of TikTok and whether the focus should be on strengthening overall data privacy laws rather than targeting a specific app.

If ByteDance is forced to sell TikTok, potential buyers could include large tech companies like Microsoft, Oracle, and Walmart. They would also include wealthy individuals and investment groups. However, the sale of TikTok to prevent a ban faces several obstacles. This includes the transfer of its algorithm, which is a key component of the app’s success. China would likely have to approve the transfer of the algorithm, a move that experts believe is unlikely, according to CNBC. Additionally, TikTok’s estimated $100 billion value could limit the pool of potential buyers to the world’s wealthiest individuals and companies.

Enforcement Challenges

Enforcing a nationwide ban on TikTok could prove challenging for the U.S. government. App stores like Google Play and Apple’s App Store could be compelled to remove the app. But this would not remove TikTok from phones that already have it installed, per TechTarget. Additionally, users could potentially circumvent a TikTok ban by using VPNs or alternative app stores. This would require some technical knowledge. There are also questions about TikTok’s effectiveness in protecting national security and privacy.

The future of TikTok in the United States remains uncertain. The company continues to navigate legal challenges and faces pressure from lawmakers and lobbying groups. While data privacy concerns are valid, some argue that the focus should be on addressing the laws rather than singling out TikTok. As a result of this confrontation, TikTok and its users will be adversely affected. It will also change how the U.S. government approaches data privacy issues in the future. Regardless of the decision, the TikTok ban raises critical questions about balancing national security, free speech, and social media’s evolving landscape.

Megan Thee Stallion Fan Blasts Atlanta Mayor For Last-Minute Cancellation: Watch

Over the weekend, Megan Thee Stallion was scheduled to bring her “Hot Girl Summer” tour to Atlanta’s State Farm Arena. Unfortunately, however, the hitmaker was forced to cancel due to a major water main break in the city. She shared the upsetting news with the Hotties on Twitter/X Friday night, leaving them heartbroken. To make matters worse, the announcement arrived only hours after Meg had teased a “special announcement” she planned to make later that night. Yesterday’s sold-out show was canceled too, and the performances have since been rescheduled for tonight (June 2) and tomorrow.

Some fans had already shown up to the venue before hearing the news, making them even more upset that they weren’t able to see the femcee’s show. She took to Instagram Live to chat with them about the unfortunate development last night, making it clear that the situation was out of her control. “Call the mayor!” she urged. “All day they’ve been telling us we can perform.”

The Hotties Stand On Business

Of course, that’s just what fans did, as evidenced by a hilarious TikTok posted by user @shariiah yesterday. In the video, a disappointed Hottie is seen sitting in the car on the phone with the city’s mayor, airing her frustration over the canceled performance. She didn’t hold back in the slightest, telling officials, “count y’all days.” The phone call has now racked up over half a million views. Countless commenters are praising her for standing on business.

Fellow fans have also flooded her comments section with similar complaints, and are questioning why they weren’t notified about the cancellation sooner. What do you think of Megan Thee Stallion’s Atlanta performance getting canceled for a second time after fans had already arrived at the venue? What about disappointed Hotties calling the mayor of Atlanta over it? Can you blame them? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Kendrick Lamar’s Drake Diss Is Man’s Hilarious Response To Getting Ghosted

It goes without saying that Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s lyrical feud left the hip-hop community in shambles, and has since produced countless hilarious memes. Of course, one of the most memorable moments of the entire battle was when Drake dropped “Family Matters,” and within the hour, Kendrick fired back with “Meet The Grahams.” Their beef appears to have mostly fizzled out for the time being, though social media users continue to debate about it online.

Now, a new post is going viral on Twitter/X, in which a man uses Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss track as a means to respond to a date gone ghost. The original poster, @jcruraps on TikTok, got creative with his own scathing bars. The lady on the receiving end of the diss, Sarah, simply replied “WTF????” at first, though she upped the ante when fans demanded a formal response.

Kendrick Lamar Vs. Drake Becomes “Cinema” In Viral TikTok

Fittingly, she decided to use Drake’s “Push Ups” beat to fire back, delivering a few of her own witty jabs and insisting that he was actually the one in the wrong. Listeners are now weighing in on the fierce battle in the comments section, and the consensus is that Sarah cooked. “They are meant for each other,” one X user jokes. “LOL dude just realized he dissed his soul mate,” another writes.

It’s unclear whether or not they ever went on another date, though fans think they know how it’d play out if things went south again. What do you think of a man using Kendrick Lamar’s “Meet The Grahams” to respond to a date who ghosted him? What about her firing back with a diss of her own? Do you think they were meant to be together? Is this how people should respond to dating drama moving forward?

21 Savage May Have Subtly Shown Support For Drake During A Recent Show

Many in the rap world have been turning their back on Drake in the past few months. While his “Poetic Justice” collaborator Kendrick Lamar has taken up many of the headlines he’s just one of several rappers who reportedly took shots at Drake. Former collaborators like Future, The Weeknd, and Metro Boomin were also roped into the beef for actions they took that were either supposedly or definitely aimed at Drake. One thing that’s surprised many onlookers is how few rappers came out in support of Drizzy.

That’s not to say nobody is on his side. Some controversial rappers like Jay Electronica, Azealia Banks, and Tom Macdonald have voiced their support for the “Rich Baby Daddy” rapper. One person who has been suspiciously silent is 21 Savage. He and Drake released a collaborative project back in 2022 called Her Loss that spawned a few big hits. The biggest of them is “Rich Flex” which Savage recently unpacked during a show in Kendrick Lamar’s hometown LA. Video from the performance shows he had the local crowd singing along to Drake’s verse on the track. If he’s taking sides he’s certainly doing it in a subtle way, but one that plenty of fans picked up on. Check out a clip from the show below.

21 Savage’s silence on the Drake beef was brought up last month as well. That came when Metro Boomin, who has been consistently tweeting out Drake hate, made a vague social media post. He commented on a potential third song in he and Savage’s Savage Mode series. The original Savage Mode dropped back in 2016 and it got a widely acclaimed follow up a few years later in 2020. The four years since then have fans calling for another addition to the series.

What do you think of 21 Savage playing his Drake collab “Rich Flex” while in Kendrick Lamar’s home town? Do you think the move was any kind of deliberate move to show whose side he’s on? Let us know in the comment section below.
