Moneybagg Yo Drops Video With Celebrity Look-Alike & Sparks Reactions With Sexyy Red Starting The Trend

December 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Moneybagg Yo caused mixed reactions after releasing a video next to his celebrity look-alike. Promoting the “twin,” the Memphis rap star was all smiles with the caption, “Got Twin With Me @DukeDennis.” The video would spark reactions, with fans claiming the rapper’s real look-alike is Girlfriends’ actor Reggie Hayes, who played William Dent. “No Moneybagg you look like the dude off Girlfriends,” commented an Instagram user in The Shade Room comment section. Other users equally desired them in the comments. A user compared them to siblings, commenting, “It’s kind of like when you see two brothers, it’s clear they related but one of them finer than the other.”

It appears that Sexyy Red started the trend in August by sharing a photo of a woman who resembled the rap star in striking ways. A social media user commented on the look-alike’s photo, “You look like Sexyy Red if she went to college and majored in physical science.” Another fan commented, “Twins but Red grew up with the daddy side.” Fans would go on to debate who looks better between the two.

Look-alikes are common in rap. Many rap stars have revealed that used them on occasions throughout the genre’s 50 years. Akon revealed that he used his brother Bu to be the superstar when he had multiple shows in a single day. MF Doom and his Doom Bots ran amuck during the peak of the underground legend’s career. Others acts would use look-alikes to humiliate during live shows to diss their rivals. In the 90s, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, and Tupac used look-alikes of Eazy-E, Biggie Smalls, and Diddy to diss them on their iconic diss songs “Hit’em Up” and “Dre Day.”

Moneybagg Yo spent the last quarter of 2024 on tour with Rod Wave and Toosii. He released the deluxe version of his latest album, Speak Now, over the summer. This year, he collaborated with new artists BlakeANA, Nino Breeze, and Rob49. Moneybagg Yo collaborated with fellow CMG labelmate Big Boogie in October on “Stuff Her.” The song appears on the new album Ether.

Chris Brown & His Father Look Adorable In Rare Photo And Fans Can’t Get Enough

July 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s been a busy few months for Chris Brown, but evidently, that hasn’t stopped the hitmaker from spending some much-needed quality time with his family. Earlier this week, Breezy’s mother Joyce Hawkins took to Instagram to share an adorable shot of him alongside his biological father, Clinton Brown. The duo looked happy as can be, both rocking coordinating rocking blue looks while Chris leaned his head on his father’s shoulder. “THIS MAKES ME SMILE!! LOVE TO SEE YALL TOGETHER!!” Hawkins captioned her post.

Of course, social media users have plenty to say about the sweet photo and are sounding off in The Shade Room‘s comments section. “That’s his inner child smiling that hard!” one Instagram user says. “He just turned to a little boy with that smile with his dad,” someone else writes alongside a series of heart emojis. “I love it.”

Countless others are here for how happy he looks to spend time with his dad, and noting how much they look alike. Reportedly, the R&B icon’s mother and father divorced when he was seven years old after having two children, him and his older sister Tootie. He previously worked as a correctional officer, and later at the Virginia gas station where Brown was discovered by a local production team at the age of 13. Breezy has clearly come a long way since then, all without forgetting those who have been by his side all along.

These days, for example, he’s making his way across North America on his “11:11” tour with Muni Long and Maeta. He kicked things off last month with a sold-out show in Detroit and has already made plenty of headlines for explosive performances, viral meet and greets, and more. What do you think of Chris Brown’s mother sharing a sweet photo of him and his father? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Kanye West Battery Assault: Ye Allegedly Hit The Wrong Twin After Sexual Assault Accusation

April 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

New allegations and claims are emerging surrounding the reported investigation that the Los Angeles Police Department is conducting on Kanye West for his role in an alleged battery assault. For those unaware, he allegedly punched a man who he accused of sexually assaulting his wife Bianca Censori at the Chateau Marmont hotel in L.A earlier this week. However, TMZ recently reported that, according to supposed eyewitnesses that reportedly spoke to the publication, this situation was actually different to what initially emerged from coverage. Specifically, the man that the Chicago artist allegedly punched has a twin brother (they’re reportedly Mark and Jonnie Houston), with whom he runs a couple of restaurants and celebrity hotspots in the area, and he is accused of punching the wrong one.

Moreover, this is how this new TMZ report’s story goes. According to their supposed eyewitnesses, one of the twins bumped into Bianca Censori accidentally in the busy hotel lobby, but that they quickly moved apart and kept going about their business. The man allegedly went out to a table to sit with colleagues, and these reports accuse Kanye West of going to them to confront whoever supposedly assaulted his wife. This is when he allegedly punched the man in the face, but according to these unconfirmed reports, he apparently punched the wrong man, striking his twin brother who was also at the table instead.

Furthermore, these reports do not specify via proof or claims whether it was Mark or Jonnie Houston that stands accused of sexually assaulting Bianca Censori. It’s also unclear which one allegedly bumped into her according to this recent TMZ report, or who was the one that Kanye West supposedly punched. The brothers reportedly own Black Rabbit Rose, Break Room 86, No Vacancy, and other venues and restaurants in addition to being Chateau frequenters. According to these alleged sources and other reports, Ye left after this incident, and that’s when police reportedly arrived to try to talk to him about it.

Meanwhile, the couple’s team continues to allege that this was sexual assault against Bianca on behalf of one of these brothers. This case will reportedly be sent to the City Attorney for review according to TMZ, and there is allegedly no evidence to support either side of the narrative at press time. We’ll see if the two react or say anything about these allegations in the public eye, and where the reported investigation will go. For more news and the latest updates on Kanye West and Bianca Censori, stick around on HNHH.

Diddy Spotted Supporting Twin Daughters At School Event Amid Lawsuit

March 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A recently surfaced picture of Diddy with his son King Combs and twin daughters D’Lila Star and Jessie James has folks thinking whether he’s really popping out in the wild amid a wave of sexual assault lawsuits. Moreover, this seems to be at a school sporting event from the looks of it. While social media still circulated this photo around, it’s unclear if this is actually a recent snap or if it’s a resurfaced image from some time ago. Either way, it has folks questioning how to balance conversation around the Bad Boy mogul’s alleged crimes and his family and personal life.

Furthermore, a lot of folks also understandably wonder how Diddy’s family is processing and handling all of this drama. At press time, the most recent development in these cases is that a judge ruled that the plaintiff in his gang SA case, in which Harve Pierre is also a defendant, must give up their anonymity. This is bound to cause some more controversy and discussion, as privacy is an important factor in both legal and personal matters. Regardless, it seems like the search for proper evidence and justice will have to eschew this condition.

In addition, a songwriter for Cassie, Diddy’s former partner and since-backtracked accuser, shared plans to not just sue him, but his record labels for how these accusations ruin her work. “I am suing for tortuous interference, for all of the work that I have done that has been f***ed because of all of this,” Tiffany Red shared on social media. “F***ed! F***ed. My work was f****ed, it was derailed. “I spent years working with Cassie. Years! The music is incredible, it’s all f***ed now. It’s got all this nastiness all over it. I can’t tell you what I felt like when I found out this is what was going on.”

Meanwhile, an unfortunate point of discussion is how people focused on Meek Mill’s alleged intimate ties to Puff rather than the actual crimes. Everyone’s got something to say about it, and it even provoked the Philly rapper’s beef with DJ Akademiks to reignite. Whether or not the New York business magnate is actually outside or not, there’s a lot of material to parse through. On that note, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Diddy.

Sexyy Red Is Young Thug’s “Twin,” She Says In Post Advocating For His Freedom

November 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

One of the funniest and most viral rap comparisons in recent memory centered around two artists in very different phases of their careers. On one hand, we have Sexyy Red: one of a couple of femcees who dominated the game in 2023 and made a significant splash in what feels like record time. On the other, we have Young Thug: a pioneer of trap who is currently behind bars on RICO charges along with various other members of YSL. People already said that they look alike, but it took a little longer for these artists to acknowledge that Internet meme and, most importantly, feel proud of it.

“Free my mf twin,” Sexyy Red quote-tweeted a new picture of Young Thug in court that emerged recently. While some folks think that Thugger gained weight in prison due to this snap, Red is clearly more focused on continuing to highlight his struggles in the prison system. If not that, then at least she has sympathy for him based on their physical similarities. Of course, something else that fans pointed out is that the St. Louis MC’s loyalty to the Atlanta icon is welcome but a tad odd, since she wasn’t popping off back when he was last free.

Regardless, we’re sure that Young Thug appreciates Sexyy Red’s support to some degree. In fact, now that it looks like the RICO trial will finally commence this month following a finalized jury selection process, support for Thug and YSL is more important than ever. It’s unclear as of press time whether the court found its final jurors, though, although they had a mission to reach a conclusion this week. Still, the trial’s expected start date remains at November 27, and if this pans out, it will be a massive development.

Furthermore, we’re sure that the rap community will be front and center to witness the RICO case with a lot of empathy and attention. Accountability and responsibility are priorities, but in such a contentious, deeply antagonistic, and notoriously complex and messy trial like this, many fans lost hope that these values will be achieved either way. We’ll just have to wait and see. With that in mind check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Young Thug and Sexyy Red.

Tee Grizzley’s Twin Gets Four Years In Prison

April 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Baby Grizzley, twin brother of Tee Grizzley, just got sentenced to four years and nine months in federal jail on convicted charges of illegal gun possession. Moreover, the case stems from a December 8, 2020 nighttime traffic stop for driving without his headlights on, according to the Justice Department. Not only that, but Royal Oaky police pulled the rapper over, real name Marcellus Wallace, along codefendant Nolan Dasgupta-Francis and another individual. Furthermore, police allegedly approached the vehicle from the driver’s side and saw two red solo cups in two cup holders near the driver’s seat.

Then, Wallace and Dasgupta-Francis said they were the ones drinking, but not driving. Allegedly, the latter pulled out a partially drunk bottle of Johnnie Walker Black. After police asked all three to exit the vehicle due to “open intoxicants,” they searched the car. During the inspection, they found “two fully loaded semiautomatic pistols on the floorboard where Wallace had been seated,” and found two more near where Dasgupta-Francis sat. According to court records, Grizzley tried to bribe the driver to take the blame while the two sat in the back of a police car following the arrest.

Tee Grizzley’s Twin Gets Nearly Five Years Behind Bars

Tee Grizzley’s brother Baby Grizzley was sentenced to 4 years and 9 months in federal custody for illegal gun possession.

What’s more is that he had just received $300,000 cash in advance for signing a record deal, and reportedly offered the driver $20,000 to take the hit. However, said efforts proved unsuccessful. Dasgupta-Francis faced a 45-month federal prison sentence, and both he and Grizzley also face parole violation charges. Officials arrested Wallace less than two months after he finished serving time for robbery in a state prison.

“This case demonstrates ATF’s core mission to stop violent criminals from illegally possessing firearms,” Assistant Special Agent in Charge Craig Kailimai stated. “We will continue to work side by side with our local law enforcement and U.S. Attorney partners to make our communities safer.” Shortly after Baby Grizzley’s arrest, his brother Tee Grizzley took to Instagram to express his heartbreak and support. “Free Bro this S**t just crushed me but ima hold this s**t down like I been doing my boy I got us @babyygrizzleytd,” he wrote. Check out that post below and come back to HNHH for the latest on Baby Grizzley’s case and Tee Grizzley.

Ashton Kutcher Considered Suicide To Help His Twin Brother

December 6, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Ashton Kutcher is speaking out about a dark time in his life. The 44-year old star got candid about some of the difficulties he and his family faced after his twin brother’s cerebral palsy diagnosis. Kutcher revealed that he once considered jumping off a bridge to get his brother Michael, a new heart.

“I’m thinking to myself, ‘If anyone’s a match, I’m a match,’” Ashton recalled on the series premiere of Paramount+’s The Checkup with Dr. David Agus. “So now, you start running that cycle through your head. You’re like, ‘This balcony looks far enough to take things.’”

Doctors diagnosed Michael with an enlarged heart when he was 13-year-old. They gave the teen just 48 hours to live without a heart transplant. Fortunately for the family, Michael was matched with a new heart within 24 hours.

“You just realize that the fighting that we do as siblings, and the arguing with the parents and 13-year-old behavior just isn’t what it’s about,” Michael shared. “I’ll never forget seeing him and my sister. You don’t see a lot of 13-year-olds tell their siblings that they love them. But to me, it was the most important thing that I could do.”

Ashton noted that he’d always protect his brother in this life — just as he did when they were kids. “He’s my brother. If I’m playing, he’s playing,” the That ’70s Show actor explained. “We shared clothes. We would beat each other up and wrestle. We’d jump off of the porch railing and pile drive each other. We fought like crazy.”
