Young Thug’s Alleged Courtroom Drug Deal Video Has Twitter Questioning Everything

by

Young Thug has spent the majority of the last year behind bars. Ahead of the YSL RICO trial’s official start earlier this month, several of his co-defendants (including Gunna) copped plea deals for themselves. This leaves the label’s head to face the music from the judge chiefly on his own. Unfortunately, a recent courtroom incident has left some speculating on whether the So Much Fun hitmaker will walk away as a free man.

On Thursday (January 19), footage accordingly began circulating online showing co-defendant Kahlieff Adams hand-delivering a Percocet pill to Thugger. As Complex reports, a deputy subsequently took note of the transfer. He promptly confronted the rapper, who evidently didn’t hesitate to hand over the pill.

Afterward, Adams underwent a search for other drugs. Authorities uncovered more Percocet pills, as well as marijuana and tobacco. The latter two were earlier “wrapped in plastic and food seasonings to conceal the odour.”

It’s also been said that the same co-defendant ingested additional contraband in an effort to conceal it. Officers brought him to Grady Hospital, and prosecutors filed a motion asking the court to “make a finding of fact that Court was delayed on January 18, 2023, because of the actions of Defendant Williams and Defendant Adams.”

Young Thug’s lawyer, Keith Adams, has since shared a statement on his client’s behalf. “The reality is Mr. Williams had nothing to do with what went on in the courtroom yesterday,” the attorney later told the media. “One of the co-defendants, on his way to the restroom, attempted to pass something to Mr. Williams, who immediately turned it over to the deputy. Did not know what it was, turned it over to the deputy right away.”

Of course, the footage of the courtroom drama has the internet asking all kinds of questions. While some are convinced that the Atlanta-based artist is a part of a set-up, others believe he may actually be enjoying his time in jail.

“This man Young Thug got caught being passed a perc IN COURT,” one person specifically wrote. “At some time we must revisit the whole ‘Free You’ rhetoric and change it to ‘Wish You The Best, Hope You Learn.’”

Others chimed in with funny reaction videos displaying how they believe interactions between the rapper and his lawyers may have gone earlier this week.

Kendall Jenner Slammed For Making Assistant Hold Umbrella In Rainstorm

by

You know what they say – when it rains, it pours. Luckily for Kendall Jenner, she can afford an assistant to trail behind her, holding an umbrella over her head so she can stay dry and maintain use of both hands.

Unsurprisingly, the reality star is getting hate for her latest antics online. As The Sun reports, photos of a miserable-looking male dressed in all-black have been circulating online as he follows the model through the California downpour to her destination.

Snapped on Saturday (January 14), the photos see Jenner dressed down in black leggings and a blue hoodie. White crew socks and a pair of tan ankle-heigh Ugg boots keep her feet warm. Even with the rain pouring, she was able to wear her hood down and keep her long black hair dry. Her staff member, on the other hand, wasn’t so lucky.

As The Sun reports, social media users have been quick to share their thoughts on the paparazzi photos. “I don’t care how rich I am but I would feel so bad letting someone hold my umbrella for me while they are getting soaked,” one user wrote on a Kardashian forum.

“Agreed! Plus it would be a bit awkward? You would stay [drier] just holding it yourself…” another pointed out. Later, someone else chimed in with, “Yes! I was just thinking how I couldn’t allow someone to hold an umbrella for me because I’m too lazy to hold it myself.”

While she’s facing hate for Saturday’s outing, Jenner certainly made a splash while attending Lori Harvey’s 26th birthday party earlier this weekend.

For her part, the 818 founder donned a sultry sheer black dress with no bra for the function at Lavo in West Hollywood. Other famous faces in attendance include Tyler, The Creator and Justine Skye.

Additionally, Damson Idris and the b-day girl made their official debut as a couple at the party. Read more about that here, and check back with HNHH later for more pop culture news updates.

Mindy Kaling’s “Velma” Series Criticized For Sexualizing Teenage Characters

by

For many, Scooby-Doo undoubtedly remains a nostalgic childhood favourite well into adulthood. Even the old school cartoons can conjure up a laugh or a smile when you need it, but of course, Hollywood couldn’t help but give the franchise the prequel treatment. Earlier this month, The Office actress Mindy Kaling premiered her Velma series. So far, though, the critics seem to be giving it two thumbs down.

The first two episodes of the adult animated series landed on Hulu and Crave earlier this week. While the mother of two is on double duty as the executive producer and voice of the titular character, she’s also joined by a star-studded lineup. Sam Richardson brings to life the first Black Shaggy, while Constance Wu plays Daphne Blake.

Additionally, we hear from familiar voices like Glenn Howerton, Debby Ryan, Shay Mitchell, Jane Lynch, and even NBA star Karl-Anthony Towns.

The series certainly sounds as though it has everything necessary to succeed, so where did they go wrong? According to Twitter users, the hyper-sexualization of high school characters is obviously a big red flag.

Various videos circulating online show clips from Velma. In one of them, a group of teenage girls are in the locker room, their figures obviously emphasized to attract attention. “These are supposed to be high school girls,” one frustrated user says from behind the camera in their Twitter post.

While Kaling’s series is on a different streamer, some are comparing it to the Netflix Original Big Mouth. Created by Nick Kroll, that project has earned a lot of backlash for similar reasons as it follows middle schoolers, specifically on their journey through puberty.

“STOP HATE WATCHING ‘VELMA’ OR WE’LL END UP WITH 8 MORE SEASONS LIKE ‘BIG MOUTH,” one social media user pleaded. Another wrote, “Everyone can tell [the show is] awful, but nobody can articulate why… It’s like it was intentionally designed to annoy everyone equally.”

Cardi B Sets Twitter & IG Ablaze With New Pic Of Her In The Studio

by

Even though it’s been a while since her last album, Cardi B is still reigning as one of the most hyped and beloved rappers working today. Her business partner Brooklyn Johnny, who was instrumental in getting her on Atlantic Records, posted a pic of Cardi B in the studio on Instagram. Furthermore, the comments section and other parts of social media lit up with excitement. Even if we’re all excited for her McDonald’s Super Bowl commercial with Offset, some new music would be huge.

“Y’ALL READY?!” wrote Johnny on his Instagram post. In it, Cardi is sat down with a mic close by, whether fresh off a verse take or about to jump in. In the comments, many responded with fire emojis, exclaimed excitement, but also some skepticism. “Don’t tease us with this type of promo if it’s not an album,” one user wrote.

While the “Hot S**t” rapper’s career has been monumental, it’s been unfortunate to see her success often come with some baggage. Recently, fans dragged her on social media after she complained about rising grocery store prices, which some thought was out of touch. However, the typical social media echo chamber can’t dampen excitement for the music.

Furthermore, fans have been waiting on new Cardi for a long, long time. “I mean yes it’s been 5 years,” one fan wrote, with another adding “Stop playing with us Johnny.” In addition, whenever new material gets teased, you always have the hesitant fans who have been played before. “If it’s another bluff we’ll go to the streets to protest!” another commenter posted.

Additionally, some new potential promo material and interviews could also be pointing to a new release from her soon. N.O.R.E. recently invited her to appear on Drink Champs after they had a “great conversation.” In that meet-up, maybe we’ll learn more about her process, the build-up to this next step, and how it’s felt to be away for so long.

Still, are you excited for new music coming (hopefully) soon from Cardi B? Even if you haven’t listened to her in a while, let us know in the comments down below. Also, check out some more Twitter reactions to her teased return down below. As always, come back to HNHH for rumored drops, new music teases, and the latest movements in the rap game.

Andrew Tate Sparks Concern With “Matrix” Tweet Following Hospital Visit From Jail

by

Since Andrew Tate and Greta Thunberg found themselves in the midst of a Twitter feud late last year, the controversial figure’s name has been constantly circulating in the media. As you may recall, his video response to the young activist allowed for authorities to confirm his location and subsequently place him under arrest.

Initially, it was thought that the reality star would remain in custody for a few hours. Now, though, it seems it could be weeks before he sees potential freedom. Both Andrew and his brother Tristan were apprehended and charged with human trafficking, along with a few other men.

As Newsweek notes, the Tate brothers are facing accusations of coercing six women into producing pornography. Their alleged victims were faced with “acts of physical violence and mental coercion.” We presently know that one of the accused is additionally facing sexual assault charges, though it remains unclear who.

While the world awaits answers, an interesting tweet appeared on the podcaster’s account yesterday (January 8). “The Matrix has attacked me,” he wrote. “But they misunderstand, you cannot kill an idea. Hard to Kill.”

Beneath his words, Tate included an article to a Romanian website, SpyNews, with an update on his health. The story explains that one of the siblings has already been to the hospital since their December 29 arrest.

“Yesterday he was taken out of the Central Prison of the Capital Police and taken to a hospital because when he was incarcerated, according to the procedures. He was given a medical examination and the prison doctor asked him if he was suffering from certain ailments,” local journalist Carmina Pricopie reported.

She went on to say, “The attorney for the Tate brothers notified the central detention center and stated that he had certain medical problems. Based on this notification, yesterday he was taken to a specialist consultation in a hospital in the capital.”

Since his field trip outside of the detention centre, the 36-year-old is said to have returned to his holding cell.

The latest reports on the situation come from the Independent. They say that Tate’s attorney is claiming there’s “no evidence for trafficking or sexual assault charges” against the brothers. Additionally, he alleges that the criminal investigation file has “not been made available to [them].”

“Inside Job” Season 2 Cancelled By Netflix, Twitter Reacts

by

If there’s any platform that has an undeniably impressive selection of original content, it’s Netflix. Over the years, the streaming service has created various fan-favourite shows and movies, though not all of them get the attention and respect they deserve. Of course, nothing lasts forever, but users certainly didn’t think we’d be seeing the end of Inside Job so early.

If you’re not familiar, the animated adult series is a conspiracy comedy that’s been markedly described as “a sendup of the ’90s sci-fi drama, ‘The X Files.’” Voice actors attached to the project include Lizzy Caplan and Christian Slater, as well as Clark Duke. It initially debuted in October of 2021, with the following eight episodes landing last November.

As per Deadline, the show chiefly takes place in the offices of Cognito Inc. The organization further exists within a shadow government, and our main characters are anti-social tech nerd Reagan Ridley and her pal Brett Hand. Together, they work to eventually uncover the infinite secrets of the world “hidden in the shadows.”

A second season of Inside Job was previously green-lit in the summer after much success. However, it appears the streamer has since changed its tune on the project, and will no longer be moving forward with new episodes.

The sad news was correspondingly confirmed by creator and showrunner Shion Takeuchi on Sunday night via Twitter. “I’m so heartbroken to confirm that Netflix has decided to cancel season two of ‘Inside Job,’” she told fans in her post.

“Over the years, these characters have become real people to me. I’m devastated not to be able to watch them grow up,” she later added.

Almost immediately, social media users consequently let their distaste for the decision well known. Across hundreds of tweets, they’ve specifically threatened to “never forgive” Netflix. Some are even joking about visiting the platform’s HQ to “talk,” with weapons in tow.

Check out Twitter’s reaction to the upsetting cancellation below. Afterward, tell us if you were looking forward to Inside Job season two in the comments.

Kanye West Attends Church Amid “Missing” Rumours: Report

by

Last year, Kanye West was almost constantly in the headlines. Whether for feuding with his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, or proclaiming his adoration for Hitler and his Nazis, there was no shortage of drama attached to the father of four’s name throughout 2022.

As December came to a close, however, reports surfaced claiming that the rapper is missing. According to his former business manager, Thomas St. John, Ye has been unreachable for several weeks now.

Some initially speculated that the 45-year-old could just be laying low after a chaotic year. Others immediately expressed their concerns. After so many tumultuous headlines surrounding West for months, the sudden silence feels undeniably jarring to fans.

Now one week into 2023, the father of four’s name began making rounds on Twitter. Specifically, people questioned where he could possibly be. “So are Britney Spears and Kanye West for real missing??” one user asked, addressing another ongoing dark pop culture theory regarding the “Gimme More” singer.

According to, to another tweet, Ye may be safe and sound in his happy place – church. “Eagle-eyed fans of [the Yeezy founder] spotted [him] at church after some time of missing rumours,” a post from Saturday (January 7) says.

In the accompanying photo, a man closely resembling West is seen wearing an army green jacket and a baseball cap with jeans. He stands with at least two other men, with reports stating they were conversation at the chapel.

At this time, it remains unclear if the apparent image of the Atlanta-born creative is recent. Following St. John’s prior claims, many accused him of spreading “fake news.”

Last month he revealed in court that Ye went missing as his former manager was attempting to sue him for breach of contract. The former reportedly agreed to pay the latter a $300K monthly retainer, though an “aggressive” meeting between the two ended those payments.

“[St. John] needed a guarantee that [West] wouldn’t abruptly abandon the commercial relationship, in addition to the financial costs and hazards associated with committing to [Kanye West] as client,” a lawsuit obtained by AllHipHop says. “But Mr. St. John offered to settle for a contract lasting at least 18 months.”

Ciara Pregnancy Rumours Are Running Rampant On Social Media

by

We’re just one week into the new year, but already, pregnancy rumours are running rampant online – for one couple, at least. According to online speculation, Ciara may become a mother of four in 2023, though no official confirmation has come just yet.

The gossip actually began circulating in late 2020, though it’s only increased in recent days as social media users have been carefully eyeing her every post for any signs of a budding baby bump.

On Friday (January 6), the “Body Party” hitmaker posted a bootylicious video while wearing a cheetah print look. While she usually proudly flaunts her rock-hard figure for the camera, in this clip, the starlet was noticeably using her left arm to shield her stomach from full view.

Immediately, fans took to the comment section to call Ciara out. “Tryna hide that damn baby,” one person specifically wrote. Another pointed out, “He said he wanted one more baby,” referring to the singer’s husband, Russell Wilson.

Interestingly, the NFL player shared a tweet back in December that also sparked some pregnancy rumours. In the early half of the month, he wrote “JESUS I am Grateful!!!” This led one person to ask him, “@ciara pregnant?!”

The couple already shares two children – Sienna Princess and Win Harrison. Additionally, Ciara welcomed a son with rapper Future, who was named after her ex.

As social media users have pointed out, Wilson hasn’t held back on chiefly expressing his desire to expand his family. He and Ci are frequently referred to as “couple goals” and have been previously known to express their intimate (sometimes downright sensual) PDA on the internet for everyone to see.

Check out Twitter’s reaction to the speculation below, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Celine Dione Fans Protest Rolling Stone HQ For “200 Greatest Singers” List Snub

by

Popular music magazine Rolling Stone released their list of the “200 Greatest Singers of All Time” on New Year’s Day. And it quickly sent social media into a frenzy.

With fans debating whether the outlet got it right, many Celine Dione supporters were offended that the Canadian singer was nowhere to be found on the list.

According to TMZ, her fans took their frustration to Rolling Stone’s headquarters on Friday and protested the snub with picket signs in hand.

Singing outside the building and shouting “Rolling Stone is stoned,” Dione’s fans were eventually met with Steven Pearl, who works at the magazine as an editor. He went on to hear them out and also explained the creative process behind the list. 

Featuring singers Tina Turner, Minnie Riperton, Aaliyah, Whitney Houston, Luther Vandross, and more, the list received its fair share of backlash since dropping online earlier this week. 

Dragging the magazine for not including the “My Heart Will Go On” singer, one user later wrote in defense of Dione on Twitter, “What do you mean Celine [Dione] is not on the rolling stone list???”

“Rolling Stone omitting the Céline Dion from its list of the greatest singers of all time is a crime against humanity,” another fan tweeted.

Further questioning the list, a user also penned on Twitter, “Rihanna should not even be on that Rolling Stones list of Greatest Singers. But for her to also be ahead of Michael Jackson, Usher, Anita Baker, and Patti Labelle… then Celine Dion is not even on the list? I would like criminal charges brought against the entire company.”

Another added, “Oh so the rolling stone’s released an all time greatest singers list? Anyway here’s Celine [Dione] absolutely knocking out a key change while singing all by myself.”

Cardi B’s Inflation Tweets Cause Twitter Rift, Rapper Claps Back

by

Earlier this week, Cardi B made headlines by addressing the steadily rising prices in grocery stores throughout the United States. On Tuesday, January 3, she tweeted, “Naaaaaa grocery shopping prices are ridiculous right now…You might as well eat outside !!” She also tweeted, “Bitch why lettuce cost 6 dollars where I live at ?”

While the comments seemed innocent enough, the “Bodak Yellow” rapper caused an uproar on Twitter. Some fans expressed their respect for Cardi’s money management skills. On the other hand, more irate fans dragged her for speaking about an issue that disproportionately affects lower-class people. See some of the Twitter reactions below.,

Cardi B responds to the social media backlash over her inflation tweets

After getting blasted by fans on social media, Cardi swiftly responded to the criticism. To demonstrate that her original tweets came from a sincere place, she shared a video on Twitter. In the video, she began by clarifying that millionaires have the right to watch how much they are spending.

“Let me tell y’all something,” Cardi said in the video. “When I be complaining about food prices, and y’all mother fuckers be like, ‘Aint’t you rich? Why you complaining about lettuce? Why you complaining about this?’ That just goes to show me when you become successful, when you have money, you’re fucking gonna go broke soon. Because y’all not budgeting.”

Then, Cardi explains that she regularly gets a summary breakdown of her finances. Upon seeing more money being spent in grocery stores than usual, she checked out a supermarket for herself. Although Cardi’s a millionaire who can afford higher prices, she explained why she chose to publicly comment on the issue.

“Of course I’mma say something!” Cardi said later on in the video. “The fuck? ‘Cause if I think that shit is crazy, I can only imagine what middle class or people in the hood are mother fucking thinking. So yes, I’m going to say something. The fuck! And I have a big platform, so I do want anybody that’s responsible of these fucking prices to put that shit the fuck down.”

After tweeting out that video, Cardi B also sent a follow-up tweet to clarify her optimism for bringing about change. One fan told the rapper her influence won’t magically fix inflation, and Cardi ultimately agreed with her. The Grammy award-winning artist simply responded, “Not necessarily cause of me but if we bring enough awareness to inflation you never know.”
