Cardi B is known for going on IG Live and speaking her mind about a myriad of topics. Although sometimes she can be controversial, she has enough fans that the opinions throughout her comments section will be varied. Overall, she has no problem starting a dialogue, even if it might mean getting some hate for a while. Regardless, there are times when Cardi is motivated to speak up because of the media she is consuming. For instance, the artist was recently watching the new show Baby Reindeer, and it sparked an idea in her mind.
As she explains in the video below, the show depicts a man who was raped by another guy. Following this event, the man starts to come to terms with the fact that he is gay. Subsequently, this got Cardi B thinking about sexual orientation and how it all works. In her eyes, sexual orientation is not a one size fits all type of concept. Instead, some people are born gay, while others might realize they are gay following a traumatic event. While most believe some humans are simply born gay, Cardi B believes it can really be case by case.
This sparked a conversation online, with fans engaging in dialogue on all ends of the spectrum. Some agree with Cardi, while others vehemently disagree but for entirely different reasons. Regardless, there is no doubt that Cardi knows how to spark a dialogue, regardless of how controversial it might be.
Let us know what you think of these comments made by Cardi B, down below. Do you agree with her theory on this? Or do you believe in something different? This is a controversial topic for some, so please be respectful. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Rappers trying their hands at film and television is nothing new. Sometimes this comes in the way of acting roles and other times it’s more of a behind-the-scenes presence. That’s where Nas comes in as he’s just begun the development process for a new TV show. The series is reportedly going to tell the story of the first-ever black grandmaster in chess Maurice Ashley. Deadline reports it’s due for an eight-episode first season. But he isn’t working on the show alone and one of the collaborators he recruited has experience in the space between rap and television.
Nas is teaming up with Mark Canton, who has served as a producer on 50 Cent’s show Power and some of its spin-offs. In discussions about the collaboration the rapper seemed pretty excited at the potential. “I’m grateful to be part of bringing Maurice Ashley’s incredible life to the screen. His story is one of greatness and his perseverance will continue to inspire the next generation of thinkers,” he said. Ashley himself also spoke out about the project. He expressed his thanks for those fighting to make sure his story is told and the importance he feels it conveys.
Last month, Nas was announced as one of the headliners of this year’s Roots Picnic. He’s one of numerous talented veterans taking the stage during the festival. Fellow headliners include Lil Wayne and Andre 3000. Despite the stacked lineup, much of the discussion of the festival after the lineup dropped was about someone else. Some fans took issue with Sexyy Red’s inclusion in the festival despite her massive breakout 2023.
Last year Nas released two new albums Magic 2 and Magic 3. The projects concluded his series of collaborations with producer Hit-Boy. What do you think of Nas working with one of the producers on “Power” to make a show about the first black grandmaster in chess? Do you think you’ll watch the show when it comes out? Let us know in the comment section below.
One of the best rappers of the 2000s is developing a TV show based on his career beginnings, and it’s looking good so far. Moreover, Ludacris officially teased a series based on his origins as a radio DJ in the business, back when he went by Chris Lova Lova. His social media announcement followed a new article from The Hollywood Reporter about the project’s early stages published Monday (January 22). “Inspired By My Real Life Journey Coming Up In The Competitive Music Scene In Atlanta as Radio Personality Chris Lova Lova,” the Word Of Mouf rapper wrote on Instagram. “Stay tuned.”
Furthermore, reports indicate that the TV show -– which is untitled as of writing this article -– will be a half-hour-per-episode dramedy for Paramount’s BET Plus streaming service. Not only that, but Insecure co-creator and The Bernie Mac Show creator Larry Wilmore also joined as executive producer alongside Ludacris. BET Plus shared that the series is about “the misadventures of a sharply drawn ensemble who are willing to do anything and everything to bolster ratings at their hip-hop radio station.” Noah Gardenswartz, one of the writers behind the acclaimed Amazon Prime Video show The Marvelous Ms. Maisel, reportedly hopped on this show’s production to write the script.
Of course, this is not the Atlanta MC’s only recent entertainment venture that excited his fans with more opportunities to show off his artistry. For example, he will judge Netflix’s Rhythm + Flow‘s second season alongside DJ Khaled and Latto. In addition, Eminem will reportedly appear as a special guest judge, whose input should be as interesting and creatively motivated as Ludacris. Last season, the show welcomed Chance The Rapper, Cardi B, and T.I. as its judges.
Meanwhile, you may be more familar with Luda these days thanks to his feud with Katt Williams. That certainly kicked off 2024 with a bizarre and unexpected beef, one that we’re not sure how it will develop over time. We’ll have to wait and see, but at least we have these new ventures to look forward to. For more news and the latest updates on Ludacris, keep checking in with HNHH.

I know it’s going to be a huge moment. They stripped me down: no lashes, barely any makeup, I had this wig on! They were like, “No lashes, take ‘em off!” And you know, I’m a lash girl, so I’m just like, “All right, cool. Let’s get into this acting bag, what’s up?!,” the singer told Billboard.
While she refused to name the show, she did give a hint with some of her lyrics. “I’m going to give you one of my lyrics: “Cocaina tiptoes/ Ride it like the whip stole/ Benjis in my bra when my titties need a lift though.” The answer’s in there!,” she teased the outlet.

However, Saweetie is not the only songstress getting into acting. Megan Thee Stallion is taking her talents to Netflix’s popular animated comedy, Big Mouth. Megan was announced in a 48-second short dedicated to both her character and the Season 7 date reveal. She will play a caked-up hormone monster ready to cause trouble for the already embattled eighth-graders. While the show has proven divisive, Megan joins what is one of the most stacked casts on TV right now. Big Mouth already features Nick Kroll, John Mulaney, Jessi Klein, Jason Mantzoukas, and Ayo Edebiri.
However, Big Mouth is far from Megan’s only project in the works. She has a leading role in Dicks: The Musical, A24’s upcoming musical comedy. Furthermore, she is also reportedly in negotiations for a role in an upcoming project from the Safdie Brothers and Adam Sandler. While the nature of the project is unclear, the Safdies last directed Sandler in Uncut Gems.
Besides 50 Cent’s widely successful music career, he also is a great actor as well. The 48-year-old rap mogul has been a part of quite a few productions during his time in the TV and movie business. Recently, he played the role of Easy Day in the fourth installment of the Expendablesfilm franchise. However, his most notable efforts have been on the silver screen. 50’s STARZ series Power received some solid praise from casuals and critics on Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb. That chapter closed but a few more have opened and DaBaby wants in on it.
After the final season of Powerin 2020, the New York icon created some spin-offs since then. It gets a little confusing with the titles and the seasons, but he is continuing to develop more stories from it. There have been three new additions to the franchise. Power Book II: Ghost, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, and Power Book IV: Force have all been released in a short period of time. A new season of the third book will be premiering on December 1. Fellow NY rapper Joey Bada$$ has already played a character in the show, so why not DaBaby?
In the IG post from theneighborhoodtalk, they reshare a clip from 50’s account hyping up fans for the new season of Book III. His acting is very cold-blooded and menacing and DaBaby saw the video. He proceeded to comment under it saying, “I gotta play a role on the screen wit you before it’s all over bruh.” He has never acted before, but, he has directed plenty of music videos in his career and it could be a cool moment. Fans are seemingly in agreement, with one saying, “Yes ! Da baby looks like he can play a tough role well ! He already theatrical & creative asf.”

Kevin Hart has been hosting his stellar sports comedy talk show, Cold as Balls for just about six years now. It has been a hit with many as it seamlessly blends the two industries for an entertaining but also interesting look at the world of sports. Hart has sat down extensively with many different athletes and sports media figures. Skip Bayless, DK Metcalf, Allen Iverson, and so many other legends in the space. In his most recent episode, be brought on Boston Celtics superstar small forward, Jayson Tatum, to cool off in the ice bath with him.
If you have some basic knowledge of Kevin Hart, you know that he is from the historic city of Philadelphia. He is a die-hard Philly sports fan and he has repped his 76ers and Eagles a lot on other sports talk shows. The comedian has had plenty to celebrate and be proud of as both franchises are constantly reaching their respective postseasons. The Eagles even won the Super Bowl back in 2018 and appeared in the big game just last season, where they fell short to the Kansas City Chiefs. One of the big rivals to Philly sports teams is Boston, which is where Jayson happens to play.
Because of this, the basketball star thought it would be funny to tease the host by having him try on a Celtics jersey. However, it was not just any jersey, it was Tatum’s son Deuce’s custom paraphernalia. He is just five years old, but due to Kevin’s short stature, Tatum thought it would fit him. The comedian made a hilarious comment before trying it on, “Is this like a 2T?” The NBA player could not help but laugh and what made it funnier was him raising Kevin’s hand as parents do when they are dressing their young kids. He also teased the actor by saying, “I know how much you love the Celtics.” The show never disappoints as it always brings the laughs, but also a cool look at different sports figure’s careers.
What are your initial thoughts on Jayson Tatum gifting Kevin Hart his son’s custom Celtics jersey? Do you think Kevin will always be clowned for being small and short? Do you watch Kevin Hart’s Cold as Balls? We want to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

Girlfriends, the beloved sitcom TV show, premiered 23 years ago, in 2000. The show primarily revolved around the lives of four African American women living in Los Angeles. It blends humor and drama but never shied away from tackling serious topics like racism, infidelity, racial identity, and gender discrimination.

Girlfriends was particularly notable for portraying African American women in leading roles.

The Weeknd’s HBO series with “Euphoria” head Sam Levinson this year, “The Idol,” was certainly an event. It was far from a beloved, perfect, and praised one, but it was still one of the most dominant and divisive cultural conversations of 2023 so far. Amid criticisms of the show’s quality itself, its themes and graphic depictions of them, and reports on the series’ behind the scenes wrongdoing and chaos, there was a lot to unpack and pick apart with the story of Jocelyn and Tedros. Rumors already spread that HBO wouldn’t renew it for another run, bolstered by its conclusion that came an episode early. Now, we officially know that “The Idol” is over.
“‘The Idol’ was one of HBO’s most provocative original programs, and we’re pleased by the strong audience response,” a network representative reportedly stated to The Hollywood Reporter. “After much thought and consideration, HBO, as well as the creators and producers have decided not to move forward with a second season. We’re grateful to the creators, cast, and crew for their incredible work.” While this news isn’t exactly surprising, it’s also quite sad to see this potential go to waste, regardless of whether you liked it or not.
Statement from an HBO spokesperson on the cancellation of ‘THE IDOL’:
“’THE IDOL’ was one of HBO’s most provocative original programs, and we’re pleased by the strong audience response. After much thought and consideration, HBO, as well as the creators and producers have decided… pic.twitter.com/Dr7tmruSlp
Furthermore, The Weeknd’s spoken out a lot about this negative reception to the show and defended their original vision for it, however misguided or poorly executed. “My goal was for people to feel that way when they watch it, you know, and that they’ll reassess (fame),” he told Variety in an interview. “It’s almost educational that this is what comes with being incredibly famous. You’re surrounded by people who you’re not sure what their true intentions are, even if it seems like they’re good. You just never know. I’ve been very fortunate to have people around me that I’ve known almost my entire life, which is important and is a gift.”
“I’m loving it,” the Canadian star told GQ of the divisive fan reception. “It’s definitely shaken up the culture for sure. We knew we were making something dark and controversial but true to what we want to say.” Let us know what you thought of “The Idol” and how you feel about its cancellation down in the comments below.
