Chicago West Takes Inspiration From Big Sister North: Watch

February 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

There’s no shortage of nepo babies being generated by Hollywood’s couples, but among the most famous of them all will always be the offspring of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. The ex-lovers share four – North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm – most of whom have already spent enough time in the public eye for us to get a feel for their personality. The eldest of the family has a love for fashion, music, sports, and drawing, just to name a few of the hobbies she’s already shared with us. Meanwhile, Saint’s athletic abilities in basketball and soccer suggest that he could have a future playing professionally.

Next up is six-year-old Chicago, who recently celebrated her birthday with a Bratz-themed affair, proving her love for all things girly. The youngest girl of the Kimye clan makes occasional appearances on TikTok with North, and earlier this week, she proved that the two creatives have even more in common than we thought. In the video below, Chicago’s eccentric green makeup and bold personality have commenters comparing her to her mom, while the 10-year-old is traditionally said to more closely resemble Ye.

Chicago West is Just as Creative as North

Seeing as it was just a few weeks ago that the firstborn West’s “ALIEN SUPERSTAR” purple facepaint went viral, she may be responsible for Chicago’s innovative makeover. We’ve already seen Kim collaborate with her siblings Kylie, Khloe, Kourtney, and Kendall on various beauty endeavors, and as North and her little sis get older, we’re curious to see whether they’ll have any joint projects to share with the world.

New York City Sues TikTok, Instagram, and More Apps for Role in Nationwide Youth Mental Health Crisis

February 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

New York City is taking TikTok, YouTube and more social media applications to court. The city, led by Mayor Eric Adams, cites the aforementioned, along with Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, and more, as a contribution to a “nationwide youth mental health crisis.”

The lawsuit is filed in the California Superior Court, stating the social applications are purposefully designed to be addictive to children and teenagers. The suit follows the Health Commissioner’s Advisory that DOHMH Commissioner Dr. Vasan issued last month, citing continued use of social media as a public hazard. The advisory callsf or parents, healthcare providers and more to take action.

“Over the past decade, we have seen just how addictive and overwhelming the online world can be, exposing our children to a non-stop stream of harmful content and fueling our national youth mental health crisis,” said Mayor Adams in a press statement.. “Our city is built on innovation and technology, but many social media platforms end up endangering our children’s mental health, promoting addiction, and encouraging unsafe behavior.

“Today, we’re taking bold action on behalf of millions of New Yorkers to hold these companies accountable for their role in this crisis, and we’re building on our work to address this public health hazard. This lawsuit and action plan are part of a larger reckoning that will shape the lives of our young people, our city, and our society for years to come.”

NYC H+H Chief of Behavioral Health and Co-Deputy Chief Medical Officer Omar Fattal, MD, MPH added, “We must maximize our efforts to support the mental health needs of children and adolescents by providing families with tools and resources that foster healthy development. This includes robustly addressing the negative impact of social media on the mental health of children and adolescents. We join the mayor and DOHMH in encouraging all young people and their families to consider their use of social media and how it may be negatively affecting them.”

Mayor Adams’ administration has been actively addressing the youth mental health crisis. In a significant move last year, the city introduced TeenSpace, a free tele-mental health service catering to New York City teenagers aged 13 to 17. This service enables youths to connect with licensed therapists via phone, video, or text. Since its launch, TeenSpace has provided support to over 2,000 teenagers across the five boroughs within just three months of operation.

Mo’nique Is Taking Her Son Shalon’s TikTok “In Stride,” She Claims At Event

February 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Mo’Nique is still causing a social media and entertainment firestorm thanks to all her claims, responses, and grievances with her peers. Moreover, some like D.L. Hughley have already given up on trying to make amends with her, whereas others have yet to respond to her explosive comments as of late. However, one relationship that has been particularly difficult to witness amid all this is that with the stand-up comedian and actress’ eldest son Shalon. During a recent live event, which seemed to be part of the Katt Williams tour, she addressed these issues with the family once again.

“I’ll only apologize if I’ve done something wrong,” Mo’Nique began her remarks on her son Shalon’s critique of her parenting and alleged absence on TikTok. “But I ain’t no b***h that’s gon’ back up from a motherf***ing problem. I’ma walk straight to that motherf***er, and I’ma deal with that s**t. So today, I’m coming to the airport in New Jersey. It’s the realest n***as I’ve ever met from New Jersey. I’m coming to that motherf****ing airport, and I had just seen this motherf***ing TikTok. Of my goddamn son.

“Had I known… I’ma let y’all take that one,” Mo’Nique continued. “And when you see your child that you f***ed for… I f***ed for that n***a. Not another b***h, it was me. You see your motherf***ing child go on the goddamn Internet and tell people all the f**k that you’re not, you’re supposed to take that s**t in stride. And I’m taking that s**t in stride. I’m walking to the motherf***ing north airport, and this elderly woman comes up to me.

“She says, ‘Mo’Nique?’ I said, ‘Ma’am?’” she concludes. “‘Cause I’m a respectful b***h. Baby, I’ma respect this b***h, she old! She said, ‘Let me talk to you for a minute.’ So I had prepared myself for this old woman to tell me how f***ed up I was. I prepared myself to be respectful, but to check a b***h if I had to. I prepared myself!” For more news and the latest updates on Mo’Nique, log back into HNHH.

NBA Youngboy’s Son Nails Viral Curse Word Challenge

February 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

There’s a new trend making the rounds online that children and parents are participating in. The trend revolves around parents leaving their children alone on camera with the promise that they can say one curse word while they’re gone. Hilarious videos from the trend have been racking up millions of views online and now NBA Youngboy’s son is the most recent to join in. His mother filmed a video leaving him in the bathroom with permission to swear once and the results were hilarious.

The first funny thing that happens is he takes advantage of the opportunity and then some. He rattles off multiple curses in quick succession before his mother comes rushing back in. She concludes the hilarious video by quipping that he “did too much.” Fans in the comments couldn’t help but relate it to his dad. NBA Youngboy is no stranger to swearing himself and that got brought up in the comments. “Yeah thats NBA youngboys son” one of the top comments reads. “One word” another post jokes about his reluctance to stick to just one. Check out the hilarious video and even funnier replies to it below.

NBA Youngboy’s Son Cracking Up Fans

Recently, NBA Youngboy took to social media to share a picture alongside his children. The photo reminded many of comments he made during a bizarre interview last month. In the interview he claimed to not be big on fatherhood as a concept. The widely criticized comments seem to have gotten to him as he’s trying to fight back against his image of being a less than present father.

Youngboy has been on an extremely prolific streak of releasing new music for years now. That doesn’t seem like it will stop any time soon as he’s already dripped three new singles in 2024 so far. The most recent is called “F*ck N*ggaz” and dropped just last week. What do you think of NBA Youngboy’s son trying his hand at a viral curse word challenge? Let us know in the comment section below.

Yella Beezy Refuses To Box Man On The Street In New Video

February 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A bizarre new video making the rounds online has fans talking about Yella Beezy again. Some kind of internet provocateur seems to have walked up to him in public in an attempt to provoke an interaction but was disappointed by the results. “Bro refused to put his [fire emoji] up. This who yall idolize?” he captioned the video of the actual interaction. Then he posted another video sharing some expanded thoughts on the situation. What he probably didn’t anticipate was that fans would spend much more time roasting him than Beezy.

In the comments of a repost of the video fans make a variety of observations about the clip. Some defend Yella Beezy from a practical standpoint citing his safety concerns. “You’re a random man asking to box? I’m not putting my weapon down rather fight for your life not me” one of the top comments on the post reads. Others took a more lighthearted approach to the situation but still took shots at the man recording the video. “As a yt man why u tryna fight a black man on black history month ?” another top comment reads. Check out the video of the original confrontation, the explanation afterwards, and all of the fan reactions to the entire event below.

This isn’t the first time Yella Beezy has had a public interaction with a fan that got discussed online. A few years ago he was willing to meet a fan on their terms, though it was only really about yelling back and forth. The shouting match made the rounds online and far fewer fans came down in Beezy’s favor that time.

What do you think of the new video of somebody trying to fight Yella Beezy in public? Do you think Beezy made the right choices with the way he handled the situation? Let us know what you think of the entire series of events in the comment section below.

Method Man Joins Viral TikTok Lookalike For Hilarious Skit

February 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Method Man is a pretty self-explanatory name: if you need something done, he knows exactly the right way to do it. While that manifested a lot when it comes to his skills as an MC, there is now another challenger who claims to have more methods, secret recipes, and unknown tips than the Wu-Tang Clan legend. Moreover, this is viral TikTok star Jordan The Stallion, a 26-year-old known for his mirror selfie videos where he gives audiences this advice on secret restaurant hacks, lost customs, and so much more. Turns out that a lot of people compared him to Mef look-wise, and they actually linked up to publish a hilarious skit.

Furthermore, it involves them trying to debunk the claim that they’re related, but they dressed the exact same for the occasion. In addition, Method Man pulls out his own secret recipe book, and teaches him how to make Little Caesar’s Cr*zy Bread. It’s overall a really funny and notable crossover, especially since folks probably didn’t expect the New York MC to be so tapped into what the kids are up to. But considering that he wants to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe one day, this curiosity for the contemporary isn’t surprising at all.

Method Man Becomes A TikTok Star In Hilarious Skit With Jordan The Stallion: Watch

Not only that, but this isn’t the only Zoomer crossover that Method Man had recently, although the other one is much less conventional. Fans online actually debated between who was the hotter hip-hop legend: him or LL Cool J, and it was hilarious to see twenty-somethings talk this way about lyricists they probably didn’t grow up with. It’s probably not the way in which old heads imagined that the new generation would celebrate and champion classic hip-hop culture. But we’re sure that they’ll take that dub.

However, this also falls under slightly darker context thanks to accusations of abuse against the 52-year-old. Those are still unconfirmed at press time, so take them with a grain of salt. Nevertheless, folks still want to see more fun clips like these, so we’ll see if that develops in a way that will hinder that. With that in mind, keep checking in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Method Man.

North West’s Basketball Skills Have Fans Revisiting Kanye’s Chris Paul Claims

February 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A recent TikTok by North West showing off some impressive dribbling ability has been met with a wave of hilarious reactions from fans. While many people were impressed by West’s ball handling, more than a few commenters couldn’t help but crack some jokes. “CP3 a good trainer yea,” one fan wrote. The short comment refers to claims that Kanye West made in 2022 that Kim Kardashian had cheated on him with Chris Paul. No proof that the rumor was true ever emerged, but it is one that has stuck with fans.

Another avenue of comments surrounded North’s apparent readiness to join the NBA. Many fans commented that she had better off-hand control than the Celtics’ Jaylen Brown. Meanwhile, several others said that North could start for the Pistons already. However, of course, there were a few haters on hand to dismiss North’s ability. The full video of North’s impressive skills can be found below. What do you think of her game? Let us know in the comments.

North West: Future Hooper?

A love of basketball has quickly become apparent for the eldest daughter of Kim and Kanye. Kim and North attended several Lakers games during their playoff run in 2023. This included speculation that Kim was dating a Laker thanks to her curve-hugging “I Love Nerds” top. The pair were once again in attendance as the Lakers eliminated the Warriors from the playoffs. Furthermore, Kim and her daughter have been spotted supporting Tristan Thompson, the former boyfriend of Kim’s sister Khloé. Thompson had been a playoff roster addition for the Lakers.

While North has already gained a substantial following on social media, it’s clear that basketball is something she clearly enjoys. Maybe the Kar-Jen clan is about to add another athlete to join the likes of Thompson and Olympic medalist Caitlyn Jenner. However, at just 10 years old, it would be almost a decade until North even considered playing college ball, let alone thinking about going pro.
