Chrisean Rock & Her Sisters Get In Screaming Match After Blueface And Their Dad Fight: Watch

by

Reality TV is known for being chaotic, but Zeus‘ new Crazy In Love series takes drama to a whole new level. Starring Chrisean Rock and her man, Blueface, the program made its debut earlier this month. We’re only two episodes in, but so far we’ve already seen several family feuds. Surprisingly, more than one of them became physical.

During the premiere, the notoriously toxic couple met up with Rock’s father. She’s previously been open about her issues with him. While speaking with the rapper, the older man says, “Don’t do that ever again. Don’t touch my daughter like that ever again.”

In response, Blueface seemingly brings up past fights between him and his partner during which she laid hands on him. Moments later, Chrisean’s dad swings, and hits his target directly in the face. Immediately after, a more serious brawl ensues.

The same feud continued into this week’s episode, which aired on Sunday (December 18). This time around, the “Thotiana” artist got his lick back, throwing hands at the Malone family patriarch. He wasn’t the only one fighting though, as the 22-year-old got into it with her own sisters at the same time.

In footage shared on @theneighborhoodtalk, Rock and two other women unintelligible scream at one another. While their words are unclear, the anger and aggression in their body language are obvious.

Near the end of the clip, the reality star paces with tears in her eyes, pounding her fist into her other hand. “Yo, back the f*ck up,” she says as her sister screams. “Back the f*ck up!”

Thankfully, not every altercation Blueface and Chrisean have with her family turns physical. Their show’s second episode also included a meet-up with one of her brothers, who simply wanted to talk to the pair about their history of domestic violence.

Though he admitted to previously engaging in it himself, Rock’s sibling wants better for her and the rest of his family.

“Grown-Ish” Star Ryan Destiny Talks “How Many,” Pursuing Music, & Not Always Having It All Together

by

She’s the multihyphenate “it” girl that has captivated viewers on shows like Star and Grown-ish, but Ryan Destiny’s career started in music. A global audience has already been introduced to the several talents Ryan has to offer, and often, it can be easy to box her in as an actress with a big voice. Yet, Ryan has been pursuing music since her pre-teen days, even being a part of a girl group and signing a record deal. Acting catapulted her into stardom, but R&B-Pop aspirations have lingered.

Recently, Ryan shared her new single “How Many,” and the accompanying visual was a stunning nod to R&B mavens of yesteryear. We’ve seen her star in music videos for artists like Doja Cat, Justin Bieber, and two for Big Sean. This time, she’s taking center stage as she delivers a track about a cheating partner who has taken her for granted.

In our insightful 12 Days of Christmas interview with Ryan, she opens up about perfecting the balance in juggling multiple pursuits, especially as her acting career continues to elevate.

“Just being transparent, I feel like it’s something that still has to kind of go day by day with it,” Ryan exclusively told us. “And I’m very interested to see how my next year goes because it’s probably going to be the hardest to juggle, just out of the past few years, because of the pandemic, and everything that went on, I feel like it really slowed a lot of things down.”
“But now, since things are starting to pick back up, it’s just going to be really interesting to see how it all really can be done, because of the projects that I have coming out, with acting, and then more things being produced, and then music as well. And just kind of how those two live together.”

Read more from our interview with Ryan as she opens up about maintaining her privacy, only being in competition with herself, and being okay with not having it all together.

Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Hudson might want to look out, there’s a new musician-hosted talk show heading to our screens. Grammy-award-winning vocalist Mary J. Blige is heading to daytime television. According to Deadline, the “Amazing” singer’s production company, Blue Butterfly, has inked a wide-ranging deal with the cable channel BET.

The entirety of the deal has not yet been revealed, but the first project in this new production will include Blige hosting a talk show titled The Wine Down. The show executive-produced with Blige and her partners Ashaunna Ayars and Nicole Jackson, as well as Lisa Erspalmer, and John and Jordan Davis (of Davis Entertainment) is described as a “raw, provocative, insightful, and real conversations” over wine with some of the biggest names in entertainment, sports, social media, and politics. Hosting should come naturally to the entertainer, having previously interviewed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

When asked about the venture, the multi-hyphenated entertainer said in the statement shared with Deadline, “BET has been one of my biggest supporters throughout my career. Being able to now create together, [and] for them to be so supportive of my vision for the type of content I will create, is something I am grateful and excited for. We already have multiple projects in the works, and there is much more to come.”

Those sentiments were echoed by the network’s EVP of Specials, Music Programming & Music Strategy, Connie Orlando. The executive shared her thoughts on the partnership stating, “As we strive to provide our audience with the best in biopics and documentaries, we are poised to remain at the forefront in offering high-quality, authentic on-screen portrayals of the lives of the culture’s most significant Black talent; and we are proud to supercharge the portfolio of content through our collaboration with Mary J. Blige’s production company, Blue Butterfly.”

Orlando went on to add, “Throughout her legendary career, Mary has blazed trails to become a global superstar. With Blue Butterfly, Mary develops awe-inspiring stories of the Black experience while uniquely using music to set the foundation. Mary has been a vital part of the BET family, and we are eager to see our partnership flourish through this partnership.”

As an added bonus, Blige’s company has also landed a first-look scripted TV deal with Lionsgate Television. Blige’s lengthy film and television work has seemingly prepared her for this next venture in her career.

The air date of the talk show has not been made public.

Stephen A. Smith Reacts To Epic World Cup Final

by

Just like the rest of us, Stephen A. was watching the World Cup Final yesterday. If you paid any attention to the game, you would know it was probably the best final ever played. Regardless of the sport, this was an incredible display of superstar talent that had us on the edge of our seats.

Overall, if you didn’t like the final, it’s because you were rooting for France. For neutral observers, this was simply a treat. People will be raving about this final for years to come, and with good reason. Stephen A. Smith will be one of those people, as he was stunned by what he was watching.

Stephen A. Reacts

On today’s episode of First Take, Smith got to speak on the World Cup Final, and just how amazing it was to witness. Typically, Smith isn’t much of a soccer fan. His interests skew towards sports like basketball, football, and occasionally baseball and boxing. However, he couldn’t help but praise the most recent display of soccer excellence.

In the clip below, Smith breaks down how this World Cup was special because it had two superstars going at it. Lionel Messi scored two goals to lead his team to a victory, while Kylian Mbappe scored a hat trick, despite the loss. Stephen A. felt like it was this superstar vs. superstar showdown that made the game so compelling.

Overall, it is very hard to argue with this assessment. When the best players give their best effort, more people are going to watch. No to mention, Mbappe and Messi are teammates at Paris Saint-Germain which made the game that much more fun.

Let us know what you thought of the World Cup Final, in the comments down below. Also, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the sports world.

Blueface Punches Chrisean Rock’s Dad Back In New “Crazy In Love” Episode

by

For some, Sunday is a holy day. For others, it’s the time that they catch up on the latest antics from Blueface and Chrisean Rock. Last night (December 18), the couple’s second episode of their Crazy In Love series aired on Zeus. Much like in the premiere earlier this month, plenty of confrontation ensued. Additionally, we see another physical blowout between the 22-year-old’s boyfriend and her father.

Ahead of the latest show’s start, clips began circulating on social media teasing just some of the drama viewers can expect. In one of them, we see the “Thotiana” rapper talking with one of his partner’s older brothers. During their conversation, Rock’s sibling admits that he previously hit his own baby mamas. However, he wants better for his own family and their relationships.

“I done hit them before, but I’m not embracing that,” he tells Blueface. When the recording artist prompts for more info on what led him to put his hands on the women in his life, he quickly explains that they hit him first.

Immediately, the California-born artist claps back “So you did the same shit as me!” From the sounds of things, he doesn’t think Rock’s brother has a right to confront him about domestic violence when his own name isn’t clear either.

The two younger men didn’t come to blows during their chat. Still though, Blueface did get his lick back against his girl’s father. If you tuned into the Crazy In Love premiere, you would have seen him take a punch from the patriarch of Chrisean’s family.

In a clip shared to @theneighborhoodtalk yesterday afternoon, two large men can be seen attempting to restrain the 25-year-old. Plenty of chaos and yelling ensues from others in the area, setting the scene for a typical episode.

After sneaking away from what appears to be his bodyguards, Blueface can be seen running up on someone (who we now know is Rock’s dad) and throwing a punch at them.

Chrisean Rock’s Brother Confronts Blueface About Their Physical Violence: Watch

by

Even if you’re not a reality TV fanatic, it’s hard to deny the appeal of Chrisean Rock and Blueface’s new show. Their relationship certainly won’t be winning any “couple goals” awards anytime soon. However, they do know how to entertain a crowd with their dramatic antics.

Last Sunday (December 11) was when we saw the premiere of Zeus’ Crazy In Love series. The first episode had no shortage of chaos, including a physical blowout between the “Thotiana” rapper and his girlfriend’s dad, as well as some bickering between the lovers themselves. Elsewhere in the same show, Rock steals a van and drives away as her man proudly watches on.

Those who didn’t watch the series debut likely came across some of the clips circulating on social media with the most ridiculous moments. As fans prepare for another episode tonight (December 17), more snippets of what we can expect have been making rounds online.

On Saturday (December 16), @theneighborhoodtalk posted one that finds Blueface in the middle of a confrontation with Rock’s brother. Specifically, the recording artist is being pressed about his very public history of domestic violence with his girlfriend.

During their conversation, the reality starlet’s sibling admitted to having hit his own baby mothers before. However, he wants to see better for his family. “I done hit them before, but I’m not embracing that,” he explains to Blue.

When the 25-year-old asks Rock’s brother why he previously put his hands on the women in his life, he quickly said, “She hit me!” Defending himself just as promptly, the “Bleed It” artist claps back, “So you did the same shit as me!”

In the past, we’ve seen how violent things can get between Chrisean and her lover. Both of them have been accused of physically harming one another. Recently, she seemingly flexed a photo of Blueface sporting two black eyes that got her some serious backlash online.

Earlier this summer, Rock’s brother publicly spoke out regarding his concern for the couple’s relationship. “Chrisean I Love You So Much and over here hurting bout you,” he wrote after hearing about the Crazy In Love star’s fight that left his sister with a missing patch of hair and a broken bathroom door.

“Our father raised us to protect our sisters at all cost. [You] da youngest one. I know you love Blue, I jus wanna ask him do he love you? I can’t play bout [you] no more Chrisean. I’ll see y’all soon,” his message went on.

Read everything he had to say below. Afterward, let us know if you’ll be tuning into tonight’s episode in the comments.

Lizzo Delivered A Powerful Cover Of Stevie Wonder’s ‘Someday At Christmas’ On ‘Saturday Night Live’

by

In her second performance of the night, Lizzo took to the Saturday Night Live stage to deliver a cover of Stevie Wonder‘s “Someday At Christmas.”

Wrapped up in a festive, puffy, silver and gold dress, Lizzo expressed hope for a brighter future and a happy holiday season for all. Joined by a group of equally powerful background singers, the group sang in joyous harmony.

“Someday at Christmas there’ll be no wars / When we have learned what Christmas is for / When we have found what life’s really worth / There’ll be peace on earth,” Lizzo sang.

Lizzo released the studio version of her “Someday At Christmas” cover last month, as part of a series for Amazon Music. Though Wonder’s original version of the song was released over 50 years ago, Lizzo felt the song’s message still rings true today.

“I chose to cover ‘Someday at Christmas’ not just because it’s a classic, but because it’s a reminder to us that almost 60 years later, we are still fighting for peace, compassion, and equality,” said Lizzo in a statement. “A friendly reminder to spread love and kindness this holiday season.”

In the last Saturday Night Live episode of the year, Lizzo returned to the stage. In festive spirits, she performed her buzzy track, “Break Up Twice” from her critically-acclaimed sophomore album, Special.

During her performance, Lizzo is woken up by an alarm clock, then arises from a bed after hitting pressing the alarm off. Donned in white nightwear, Lizzo lets her man know that she’s willing to give their relationship another try, but she’s not giving him any more chances after this.

“Boy, you know you better / ooh, you know you better / Boy, you know you bettеr watch out / ‘Cause boy, you know me bettеr / you know me so much better / You know that I don’t break up twice,” she sings on the song’s chorus, which interpolates Lauryn Hill’s “Doo Wop (That Thing)”

As the song progresses, Lizzo is joined by a backing chorus, who sweetly supplement Lizzo’s soulful vocals. She also twerks by her mattress, in true Lizzo fashion.

This is Lizzo’s second time performing on SNL this year, her first being in April upon the release of her comeback single, “About Damn Time.”
