50 Cent just reacted to authorities BMF star Lil Meech’s cleared gun charges from an arrest at a December airport. What’s more is that the Queens rapper was much more to-the-point than usual in his Instagram jabs. Clearly it’s no laughing matter, as the 22-year-old actor faced a felony charge.

Furthermore, his attorneys called the whole ordeal an innocent mistake. According to TMZ, the Broward County State Attorney’s Office dropped its original felony charge against Meech of “introducing a firearm into the sterile area of the airport.” Moreover, said arrest occurred on December 13th of last year. After the whole ordeal, the actor got some bling to commemorate his breakout role.
Police arrested Lil Meech, real name Demetrius Flenory Jr., after airport security discovered a gun in his carry-on luggage. Although all signs pointed to trouble, Meech and his team clarified that the gun and bag belonged to his bodyguard. Reportedly, the bodyguard tried to make this clear, but officials paid him no mind.
Since then, Flenory Jr.’s attorney Bradford Cohen presented prosecutors with a purchase receipt, gun case, and license to carry that disproved his client’s ownership of the confiscated materials. Also, he explained that, given the similarities between Meech’s bag and his bodyguard’s, they mixed things up at the airport.
Moreover, authorities decided to retract from potentially charging the actor with a misdemeanor, based on evidence presented by the “defense.” Even with some hiccups along the way, it seems last month smoothed over well enough for Meech.
Still, 50 was much quicker than the court with his reaction, response, and post-clearance moves. “Ok that’s out the way, now let’s go!” he wrote. Then, his BMF star thanked him in the comments. “Your loyalty is unmatched. I love you and i thank u for everything,” he wrote. Both starts are looking forward to the show’s third season, which was renewed earlier this week.
However, what do you think about 50 Cent’s reaction to Lil Meech’s dropped gun charges? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest from 50 Cent and his TV universes.
Kylie Jenner has finally revealed the name of her and Travis Scott‘s son. Today (January 21) the reality star and makeup mogul took to Instagram to share an adorable set of photos of her and her son. The photo was captioned “AIRE” with a white heart emoji. While it was rather cryptic, Kylie’s mom, Kris Jenner commented on the post saying, “I love you Aire Webster,” confirming the baby’s name.
Aire was born last February, and Kylie and Scott had previously shared that their son’s name was Wolf Jacques Webster. However, shortly after revealing the name, Kylie took to her Instagram story to reveal that their son’s name was no longer Wolf.
“We just really didn’t feel like it was him.” Jenner said. “Just wanted to share because I keep seeing Wolf everywhere.”
Earlier this month, Kylie and Scott reportedly broke up, however, they are still said to be co-parenting Aire and their first-born daughter, Stormi.
“Kylie and Travis are off again, they were supposed to spend the holidays together, but she went to Aspen to be with her family and friends up there,” said the source close to the Kardashians. “This has happened so many times before, they’re known to be on again off again, but always remain friends and great coparents.”
One of the entertainment world’s most volatile power couples reconsidered what they share in their relationship. Moreover, in a new clip from their reality show Crazy In Love, Blueface suggests him and Chrisean Rock should go to therapy. Furthermore, the snippets follow a crazy week for the two, as they’ve seemingly split after a wild interview went sour.

After security dragged Chrisean Rock out of an interview with her, Blueface, and No Jumper, fans were shook. The incident shocked social media and seemingly threw a wrench in their relationship together. In fact, news since developed into some really odd territory. Furthermore, in an almost preventative mood, the California rapper said that Chrisean’s upcoming baby is not his.
“To answer y’all questions, yes me [and] Rock are officially done,” he tweeted. “It’s strictly business, I tried it [and] clearly it wasn’t giving. Before she announces… She’s pregnant with somebody else’s child, not mine.”
To answer y’all questions yes me an rock are officially done it’s strictly business I tried it an clearly it wasn’t giving before she announces…she’s pregnant with somebody else’s child not mine
Moreover, this Sunday’s episode of Crazy In Love will feature an oddly timely discussion, according to teasers. In new clips, Blueface asks his girlfriend whether she thinks they should go to therapy.
“What do you think about therapy?” the rapper asked. “Do you think that’ll fix me or help you understand me or me understand you… hmm?”
“People like you don’t need therapy,” Rock replied. “You know what you want.”
“What about people like you?” he said, asking her if she knows what she wants. Also, she made it clear that she wants him.
“But n***a, you’re so, like, that n***a,” Chrisean continued. “You don’t need none of that. You just need to like, get with the program or, like, let’s do it. What we doing? That’s it. We don’t need no motherf***ing therapy. I love you.”
Meanwhile, other clips from the upcoming episode gave some other insights. For example, in a sit-down interview, Blueface claims that his mother probably wants to be his girlfriend. Also, Chrisean Rock slams back a bottle of liquor and the two discuss therapy again.
Still, what do you think of Blueface’s therapy proposal for him and Chrisean Rock? However you may feel, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, check back in with HNHH for the latest on one of pop culture’s most viral relationships.
Lil Dicky recently expressed that he feels “misrepresented” by his old music and wants to come back to hip-hop. Of course, he’s been incredibly busy with his hit FX TV show, Dave. Moreover, he preceded small-screen ambitions with a cheeky and playful music career, one that he plans to revitalize. In a recent interview with Consequence, the multi-medium artist spoke about his thought process.

“I do feel bad for my music fans — I would be so annoyed at me,” he began. “But it’s not because of laziness. I don’t think I could work any harder than I work. As soon as I finish working on the show, and it’s the off-season, I’m in the studio every single day trying to get this thing done … There probably is a belief that ‘he’s never gonna put out an album. He’s just an actor.’ But it’s just not true. I don’t care when or how long it takes. I am going to put that second album out.”
Moreover, Lil Dicky’s humorous career has drawn comparisons to everyone from Eminem to Kanye West, as odd as those may sound. After first breaking out with viral tracks and his Professional Rapper album, he’s looking for a change of pace. Also, he shared how his previous work didn’t showcase his true talent, and how he evolved since then.
“I feel totally misrepresented by my music online because it’s all so old, and I’m just so much better than that as an artist,” he said. “When I first started out, I was making my songs in my San Francisco apartment for like two years before I even showed anybody anything because I just wanted to build the right body of work. And I think I’m just trying to build the right body and roll it out the right way, and I just get better and better … I’ve advanced as an artist. I just need the time.”
Season 3 starts April 5th…third time’s the charm – most rapping, most funny, most cinematic, most romantic, most definitely the most exciting season ever!!!!!!
What do you think of Lil Dicky feeling misrepresented by his art and teasing a return to his rap career? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, check back in with HNHH for more news from hip-hop media crossovers- and comebacks.
Stephen A. Smith is no stranger to people getting mad at him. Having said that, Smith learned this week that Dallas Cowboys fans tweeting their displeasure at him for saying the team will choke in the postseason has nothing on Rihanna fans getting mad at him for what he, assuredly, thought was a throwaway line on Sherri.
“I don’t wanna say I’m not excited,” Smith said. “She’s fantastic. That’s not where I’m going with this. Ladies and gentlemen, she’s a lot of things. She’s spectacular, actually. And congratulations on new-momma-hood. There’s one thing she’s not. She ain’t Beyoncé.”
Smith issued an apology over the whole thing, but it led to him getting repeatedly dragged, both on Twitter and, on Thursday night, by Leslie Jones as she guest hosted The Daily Show. Fast forward to Friday morning and Smith addressed the whole thing on First Take by having a bit of a meltdown.

“It’s ridiculous,” Smith said. “This is the controversy here. All the stuff going on in the world, I’m being accused of Black-on-Black crime, because I happen to like one artist more than another. I mean, you got to be kidding me! I mean, handcuff me now! Put it behind my damn back! Y’all gotta be kidding me … Leslie Jones, I love you! Damn, I couldn’t wait to watch you on Comedy Central and she calling me out! Why?”
Smith went on to say that “I apologize to Rihanna, because this nonsense was not my intent. It was not necessary, it was all done in fun, me debating with Sherri Shepherd for fun, just having laughs. That’s all. Rihanna’s phenomenal, she’s fantastic.”
On Monday, Stephen A. Smith probably thought the lowest point in his career was having to publicly clarify that he has never had his ass eaten after insinuating as much while appearing on Jake Paul’s sports show (though most people would have stopped short of “appearing on Jake Paul’s sports show”). But that was before the fiery ESPN host messed with the Rihanna Navy — with Leslie Jones as their leader.
Jones guest-hosted Thursday’s episode of The Daily Show, where she called out Smith for his rather unenthusiastic response to the news that Rihanna will play this year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show. While appearing as a guest on Sherri, host Sherri Shepherd asked Smith whether he was excited that Riri would be performing at this year’s Super Bowl. His response was… disappointing.
“I don’t want to say I’m not excited. She’s fantastic,” Smith explained… then unfortunately added: “There’s one thing she’s not: She ain’t Beyoncé.”
Jones was NOT having it:
DUDE! NO! Why would you do this to yourself? You know what, Stephen A. Smith? You need to act like your hairline and back the f*** off!
Now, the good news is that he did apologize. The bad news is his apology.
Smith posted a video, which seemed to be shot in the back of an empty party bus, where he addressed Rihanna directly to let her know that she’s a “superstar” and “sensational.” Then came his sign-off: “Good luck, sweetie. Looking forward to see you perform.”
That’s when Jones lost it again: “Oh how DARE you call Rihanna ‘sweetie’! You calling her ‘sweetie’ like you know her. She don’t know you. But you know who she does know? Beyoncé!”
Lil Meech recently spoke about his new BMF chain, which cost him $500K. Moreover, he spoke to GQ on their “On The Rocks” series to break down the new bling. Meech is best known for portraying his father, Big Meech, on 50 Cent’s Black Mafia Family series on Starz.

“You’re the first actor to be on ‘On The Rocks,’” the interviewers told Lil Meech, real name Demetrius Flenory Jr. “That’s crazy, bro,” he replied, “s**t, I’m glad to be here. I appreciate y’all having me, s**t. Feeling good, good to be on GQ.
“I’ve really been into jewelry since I was a baby, growing up,” the 22-year-old said. “My old ‘BMF’ pieces I don’t have no more,” he clarified as he showed off the new one that hung from his neck.
“Elliott charged me $200,000 just for this Cuban,” the actor stated, showing off the first part of the piece. “This Cuban is like 1,100 grams. It’s chunky, real big. I really can’t have this on for longer than three or four hours, my neck start hurting.
“The locket say ‘Elliante’ on it,” he added, referring to the chain’s designer. “You know what I’m saying? His name, his signature, it got the three big boogers on each side. So, ain’t no regular Cuban, you know? You might find a regular Cuban for 50 or for 100, maybe, but this 200 just for a kilo.”
“What’s the pendant cost then?” the interviewer asks. “Three, just for the pendant,” Meech clarified.
“This some s**t like, you gotta give my daddy,” the rapper expressed. “Like when he come home, I’ll keep this forever, you know? You can’t even go no bigger than this, you know? You don’t see no silver or gold, you see straight water.”
Meanwhile, Lil Meech recently detailed what his father, Big Meech, doesn’t appreciate about BMF. Moreover, Lil Meech portrays him in the series. Also, the young star posted bond for his recent arrest, and had to face clowning from 50 Cent and other stars from Power.

Stephen A. Gets A Talking TO
Hilariously, not everyone is a fan of Smith’s book tour, which he launched as a way to promote the autobiography. One such detractor is his very own co-worker, Chris Russo. On yesterday’s First Take, Russo laced into Smith, telling him that he needs to stop cutting work for media appearances.
“Get your rear end in that chair,” Russo yelled. “I want you here every day at nine o’clock in the morning, not getting here at five after 10, not leaving here after the Cowboys win and you leave at 10:30 to do what? THE VIEW!
“How dare you miss openings of shows to do radio or TV interviews. YOU LEFT AT 10:30! Today we needed to have a talk at ten to 10 and you’re running back from Howard Stern! You’re not even in the office yet! Enough already! You’ve made a fortune! We get it, the book’s not bad, we can move on. Can we move on from this stupid book? I’ve had enough of Straight Shooter!”

Throughout this entire sequence, Molly Qerim and Marcus Spears could not control their laughter. Moreover, even Stephen A. was cracking a smile through the whole thing. Overall, it was classic Chris Russo.

Two generations of women in the Florida Rap scene collide as Yung Miami and Trina come together. Following G Herbo’s appearance on Caresha Please, Rap icon Trina sits down with her friend and City Girls star for an explosive interview.
On Instagram, Miami teased Trina’s upcoming appearance on her Revolt series with a caption that increased the hype. “Y’all know Miami girls run this sh*t, right? @trinarockstarr was DEFINITELY ready for the smoke!.”
In the trailer, Trina praises Yung Miami’s talents, saying it doesn’t matter what any other artist is doing because she has her own style.
As we know by now, nothing is off-limits when Yung Miami is in charge of firing off questions. At one point, she questioned Trina about rumors she dated Missy Elliott. That was met with crickets.
Later, Trina is grilled about her choices of rappers. We’ll have to wait and see who she chooses between Lil Wayne and French Montana.
