Kim Kardashian and Kanye West split in 2022 after eight years of marriage. In the months of the break up, Kanye has gone full “mask off”, making a variety of anti-Semitic comments and destroying his business relationship with Adidas.
Episode 2 of The Kardashians Season 3 is now live on Hulu. Following on from the season premiere, a major piece of the episode is Kim’s handling of post-Kanye life. In this, Kim makes some eye-opening remarks. In particular, the episode highlights the effort that Kim has gone to shield her four children from their father’s behavior.

“I don’t want to be part of this narrative and it’s like when is this ever gonna end? Like it never will and I’m stuck with this for the rest of my life,” Kim tells her mother in Season 3 Episode 2. “I still feel the need to not talk about it and protect it from my kids and I always will feel that way, but God, if people knew,” she continues. “I just would never do that to my kids. It just is really crazy.” Kris, in full matriarch mode, nods sagely and replies “that’s the tragic part of the whole story.” Furthermore, Kim reveals just how far she’s going to stop her kids seeing the media coverage of their father. “She actually doesn’t know and that’s what’s so crazy,” Kim said, referring to her daughter North.
“When stuff is said, it’s a chain to my whole household. No TV, only Apple TV. I can’t risk an Access Hollywood or anything on the news coming up with their dad mentioned and they want to watch. I have to figure out a way to protect and so they still haven’t seen anything, but then I go into crisis mode.” She continued. “Sometimes I feel like if he were to hit rock bottom, that’s his journey that he needs to figure out on his own. I used to run around and call everyone behind his back, and be like, ‘It’s gonna be OK, it’s gonna be OK, don’t worry. Just give him another chance.’ I used to spend hours and hours and hours of my day to be the clean-up crew. I just don’t have that energy.”
In a recent interview, Scar Lip revealed how impactful other artists were in her career. She sat down with VladTV earlier this week, where she detailed her early career and credited her supporters. Scar Lip has gotten love from Cardi B, Boosie Badazz, Shaquille O’Neal, and more in recent months. The “This is New York” rapper also went on to discuss the process of channeling her adversity into her music, and learning how to “express [herself].”
“When Boosie reposted me, it felt like I had a shot,” she began. “That’s when motion started coming in. His push, [and] his co-sign, got me a lot of press…that shit helped my career a lot.” Scar Lip went on to explain how the support she received from Cardi B made her feel as though she had “made it out the hood.” Cardi shared a video of the young artist on her Instagram story earlier this month. “I couldn’t believe that..that post changed my life,” she told DJ Vlad, “I love her so much.” She continued, telling him, “She started from the bottom and raised her way to the top, [and] anybody that feels a way about that…you’re just weird. Everybody starts from the bottom. How could you not be inspired?”
Upon Cardi’s shoutout, she took to social media to share her excitement with fans. “Cardi B just posted me,” she tearfully explained. “She inspired me. She from The Bronx, bro. I’m from The Bronx. She showed us young girls we could make it and we could be something, bro. I can’t f***ing believe this shit. We did it.”
Scar Lip also shared that when NBA star Shaquille O’Neal sent her a supportive DM, she didn’t even think it was real. “It was like four in the morning, [and] something told me [to] check my phone. I look and see [that] Shaquille O’Neal text me. I said, ‘Is this a dream? Is this real?’ [and] I started jumping up and going crazy,” she explained. She says that it wasn’t until he sent her a “whole video” of himself that she believed it. O’Neal told the rapper, “yo keep spitting that hard shit,“ adding, “It’s time for you to take over New York.”
Kelly Rowland started her successful music career at a young age and created many hit records. Whether it was a part of Destiny’s Child, a solo track, or a guest feature, Kelly Rowland has played a role in creating some of the biggest hit R&B and pop songs. Her last full-length solo album, Talk a Good Game came out almost ten years ago, and since then, she has ventured outside of music into television and film.
Rowland’s most recent music release was a six-song EP titled K in 2021. She has been featured on hit songs such as Nelly’s “Dilemma,” David Guetta’s “When Love Takes Over,” and Future’s “Neva End (Remix).” During Destiny Child’s run in the late 1990s and early 2000s, they released several hit singles, leading to them becoming one of the most prominent groups. Here, we’re counting down Kelly Rowland’s seven biggest solo songs, with the No. 1 spot being her biggest hit. Take a look at the list below.
7. “Can’t Nobody” (2002)
“Can’t Nobody” comes from Kelly Rowland’s 2002 solo debut album, Simply Deep. The album featured Solange, Joe Budden, and Nelly’s “Dilemma,” easily her biggest feature. The album came out before Destiny’s Child would eventually come back in 2004 from a hiatus for their final album, Destiny Fulfilled. The upbeat tempo and pop groove of “Can’t Nobody” sound like a product of the era when Destiny’s Child was at their commercial peak. The song is incredibly catchy and highlights Kelly Rowland’s hit-making ability and the important role she had in the success of Destiny’s Child. “Can’t Nobody” was certified gold in Australia and peaked at No. 5 in the UK.
6. “Kisses Down Low” (2013)
“Kisses Down Low” is Kelly Rowland’s biggest hit from her most recent full-length album, 2013’s Talk a Good Game. The song was the album’s lead single and followed the commercial success of her previous album, which contained her first solo No. 1 hit. Produced by Mike Will Made-It, “Kisses Down Low” is a pop song with bouncy 808s and sparkling synthesizers. The song was certified Gold in December 2013.
5. “Stole” (2002)
“Stole” is Rowland’s 2002 debut solo single and is easily one of her biggest hits. The song contains the same level of catchiness of a Destiny’s Child song but separates itself as a downbeat ballad, incorporating elements of pop and rock. Each verse tells a story of different young people who experience hardships like bullying, depression, violence, and teen pregnancy.
“Stole” performed well on American charts but was even more successful internationally. The song peaked within the Top 5 on charts in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, and the UK. “Stole” is certified Platinum in Australia, gold in New Zealand, and Silver in Britain.
4. “Commander” feat. David Guetta (2010)
Kelly Rowland and David Guetta first collaborated in 2009 for “When Love Takes Over,” a dance anthem that reached No. 1 chart positions and achieved Platinum certification in multiple international markets. The following year, the two reunited once again for “Commander,” this time as a single for Kelly Rowland’s album, Here I Am.
“Commander” conquered clubs and charts worldwide, much like “When Love Takes Over.” As the title suggests, Kelly Rowland commands the song with her powerful vocals and fully displays her confidence. Though not as commercially successful as Rowland and Guetta’s previous collaboration, “Commander” went Gold in both the UK and New Zealand.
3. “Like This” feat. Eve (2007)
Kelly Rowland’s second studio album, 2007’s Ms. Kelly, contains some of her biggest hits. “Like This” is a party-ready song with a minimal yet bumping instrumental. It is a vintage yet modern production that leaves plenty of room for Rowland to shine vocally. In addition to Kelly’s melodies in the verses, the song has plenty of attitude in its infectiously repetitive hook. The piece is also practically made for Eve to shine with her confident flow. “Like This” has proven its longevity, achieving Gold status in America in 2020 and Silver status in the UK in 2022.
2. “Work” (2007)
Also from the Ms. Kelly album, 2007’s “Work” ranks high as one of Kelly Rowland’s biggest hits. The track features a pulsing rhythm similar to Destiny’s Child’s “Bootylicious,” made for the dance floor. “Work” came at a time when pop music was incorporating elements of Punjabi bhangra, which is reflected in the song’s instrumentation. It also paved the way for Rowland’s success in the dance world. Though it was not released as a single in North America, “Work” charted quite high internationally and is now Platinum in Australia and Italy and Gold in the UK.
1. “Motivation” feat. Lil Wayne (2011)
“Motivation” is undoubtedly Kelly Rowland’s biggest hit and best song. The tune is a modern R&B classic produced by Jim Jonsin and Rico Love. The song is a steamy display of Rowland’s ability to perfectly combine the sexiness of R&B and the appeal of a pop hit. Vocally, she glides across the down-beat instrumental. Lil Wayne joins Kelly and delivers a short yet clever verse with humorous punchlines. “Motivation” remains Kelly Rowland’s biggest hit song, being certified 2x Platinum status by 2013. The song was her first solo No. 1 hit as the lead artist on Billboard.
Karlissa Saffold, the mother of LA-based rapper BlueFace has shared a message with her followers about Chrisean Rock. Rock is currently pregnant with BlueFace’s child, amid a tumultuous relationship that has led fans to wonder whether they’re split up for good. Saffold took to social media to share her thoughts on Rock amid the drama.
“For those of y’all who keep having an opinion about how I feel about Rock,” she begins, “I wanted the best for her and always will.” Saffold continues, “I been there since the beginning and I’ll be here until the end.”The Neighborhood Talk shared the post alongside a clip of Rock opening a manila envelope, seemingly containing paperwork pertaining to “a big bag” and the rappers’ unborn child. Viewers rushed to the comments section to air their opinions on the volatile situation. “They only show up for her when it’s a bag involved and she just wants love so she accepts it every time,” one Instagram user writes, “It’s sad.” Another jokes, “NOOOO CHRISEAN THOSE ARE ADOPTION PAPERS”
Saffold Says She’ll “Always” Be There For Chrisean

Earlier this week, BlueFace responded to Rock claiming she prayed to become pregnant in an interview. He slammed the 23-year-old, writing, “Bih prayed for dis we don’t wanna hear da sob story anymore we over that already.” He added, “You got what you prayed for…You held up the prayer line just to boo hoo about it.”
In her interview with Cool Kicks L.A., Rock revealed, “At first, I was getting pregnant then I’d have an abortion. Then it got to a point where he was like, ‘I want a family, I want a baby, have my baby.’ So we start f***ing like crazy. I start going on my knees like, ‘Lord, can I get a baby? I’m not gonna kill this one.’ So then I got pregnant, but in the midst of me getting pregnant, we’re beefing and shit, I don’t know, we’re going through stuff. I’m like, ‘I already made up my mind, you made up your mind, I’m not going back on it.’”
Kanye West has been dealing with plenty of lawsuits as of late. Overall, much of this has to do with his business dealing with Yeezy and Gap. Although Ye believes he is the right on many of these occasions, there are others who feel as though he took advantage financially. Moreover, with the way he left some of his business partners, it should come as no surprise that these kinds of lawsuits would take place. Needless to say, it is a very busy time for Kanye West right now, and not for the best of reasons. It is sad for him, but ultimately, a true assessment of his predicament.
According to TMZ, Kanye West is now being sued by a woman by the name of Nichol Lechmanik. For those of you who may not know the story, Lechmani is a paparazzo that had a confrontation with Ye back in January. Ultimately, it all started as Paps followed Kanye and Bianca Censori following a basketball game. Kanye was upset with this and decided to confront some of the photographers. Lechmanik subsequently had her phone taken out of her hands and thrown into oncoming traffic. Much of the confrontation was caught on camera.

Now, Lechmanik is looking for damages as she alleges to be traumatized from the incident. Furthermore, she said that the incident also affected her livelihood in a significant way. Although there was a criminal investigation into Ye previously, no charges came about. That said, Lechmanik is looking for money as she sues for battery and negligence. Additionally, it seems like she wants the judge to make sure Kanye never treats the paparazzi like this again. However, that ask seems to be a bit of a stretch.
Either way, this is not a good look for Kanye West right now. He is already dealing with quite a few issues, and this is yet another on his list. Only time will tell whether or not the judge rules in his favor on this. Let us know what you think, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from the music world. We will always keep you informed.
Season 3 of The Kardashians debuted on May 25 on Hulu. The premiere episode set up a lof the season’s main storylines – a newly-single Kim attempting to navigate post-Kanye life. Elsewhere, Kendall and Kylie are bonding, while Khloe deals with a melanoma scare. However, the season has been poorly received by fans already. The detractors lament that the show just doesn’t have the bite of the family’s original offerings.
Furthermore, this is literally referenced in Season 3 Episode 2, which premiered on June 1. At one point, Kim discusses a scathing Variety review about the second season. But we’re not here to discuss the diminishing returns of the popular culture juggernaut’s desire to remain relevant. Instead, we’re here to speculate about Kim’s new man. Episode 2 ends with a preview for Episode 3, which appears to be heavily focused on a new lover for Kim Kardashian.
“The Kardashians” Preview Hints At Kim’s New Lover

“My friends wanted me to meet someone,” Kim tells Scott Disick over dinner during the preview. “Let’s call this guy Fred,” Disick responds, “Does he meet the standards?.” The preview then cuts to Kim texting during her solo confessional. Meanwhile, the audio “Oh, he meets the standards” plays over the footage. Unfortunately, that’s all the information we get about Kim’s potential new man. Therefore, we will have to wait until June 8 to see what else the show reveals about this mystery man.
However, Episode 2 focuses on Kim’s post-Kanye life. This could be setting up an Episode 3 contrast between Kayne and her new mystery man. “I don’t want to be part of this narrative and it’s like when is this ever gonna end? Like it never will and I’m stuck with this for the rest of my life,” Kim tells her mother. Later, Kim says “She [North West] actually doesn’t know, and that’s what makes it so crazy. When stuff is said, it’s a chain to my whole household – “No TV, only Apple TV!.” I can’t risk Access Hollywood coming up next or anything on the news coming up with their dad mentioned and they want to watch. They still haven’t seen anything but I go into crisis mode.” However, as mentioned, fans will have to wait another week to see if “Fred” is anything more than a preview tease.
Rihanna is easily one of the biggest stars on the entire planet. Overall, she has classic albums, her own clothing line, and of course, a makeup empire. Although she hasn’t released an album in about seven years, she still dominates the culture. This is just a testament to all that she has accomplished. Moreover, she is currently in the midst of enjoying motherhood and has a second child on the way. She and A$AP Rocky seem to be incredibly happy, and we all love to see it. Needless to say, the artist couldn’t be doing any better.
Every now and then, Rihanna likes to take to social media and show off some of her looks. This can either be in the form of something she is wearing on the runway or simply the latest collection from Savage X Fenty. Overall, her Savage X Fenty line continues to sell extremely well, and her latest line promises to be great. The Savage X Fenty Xssential Louge collection has a lot of casual items within it. You can shop this collection here. That said, Riri is now showing off a new t-shirt from that collection, which will certainly turn heads.
In the images up above, Rihanna can be seen modeling the oversized shirt. Overall, it is black with the words “Use A Condom” written in bold letters across the front. Of course, Riri is wearing that ironically when you consider how she is pregnant. Either way, Rihanna is well aware of the irony here, as she wrote “this shirt is old…” Regardless, we’re sure a lot of people will be rushing to go out and cop this.
With all of these collections and projects, fans are still hopeful for an album. Whether or not that actually happens, still remains up in the air. Let us know what you think of this new t-shirt, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the music world.

Eager fans managed to break into Frank Ocean’s vault and leak several unreleased songs. Most recently, an Instagram page called OCD VS THE WORLDshared an unreleased song from the Blonde era along with the lyrics to the record. Apparently, the song, titled “These Days,” was reportedly purchased for $6,200 from a leaker. However, it seems like some of the lyrics weren’t actually accurate.
Frank slipped in the comment sections with a few corrections. “Told you I would put your figure near my lung heart was racing on a rush was it fun when it was fun jaw clenching on a tablet I was numb armored windows don’t roll down like factory ones I don’t drink but what I’m thinking give me buzz give me buzz,” he wrote. “You say fuck me then go fuck her but you blush got priorities in life that I disrupt so back to turning my 8 figures up back to turning lil figures up if I’m on it I’ll see 10 when I’m young .. young.”
Genius reports that the song was actually pressed on vinyl and sent out to 10 people as a replacement for “Little Demon.” However, his team opted out of sharing the song on vinyl and instead, delivered 2016’s Endless. Will the song ever see an official release? At this point, it seems unlikely but fortunately, there are promising signs that a new album is on the way. Despite Ocean’s shaky appearance at Coachella, he did reveal that he’s working on new music.
“t’s been so long. Everybody talks about how long it’s been. ‘It’s been so long, it’s been so long.’ But I have missed you,” he said. “I want to talk about why I’m here, because it’s not because of a new album. It’s because — not that there’s not a new album… but there’s not right now. Chill, chill, chill. No, it’s not right now.” He went on to honor his brother, Ryan Breaux, who passed away in a car crash in 2020. Check out Frank Ocean’s response to the leak above and let us know your thoughts in the comments.
Joe Budden is not afraid to speak out on topics that are controversial. On his show The Joe Budden podcast, he can be heard roasting people and giving them a piece of his mind. Overall, this has made Joe a polarizing figure. However, you truly can’t help but respect how bold he is. He knows his audience, and he knows how to articulate his thoughts in a way that will get attention. Consequently, his podcast empire has grown to some exponential heights over the last decade or so.
Recently, Joe Budden gave his take on the DJ Envy real estate situation. Envy got wrapped up in some allegations against his business partner Flipping NJ, who goes by the name Cesar Pina. Many have accused Pina of mismanaging funds and just overall scamming people out of millions. Although Envy has denied being part of this, Budden wants to get to the bottom of this. In an epic rant down below, Joe made it clear that he thinks the Rick Ross and Gunplay beefs were simply a smoke screen for the Pina situation.
“All that Gunplay sh**? Distraction. All that car show sh**? Distraction,” Budden said. “Produce that little fat f**k! Get him out of here! Where he at? You n****s been all around Hudson County, Essex County, every New Jersey county — get that little f**k to the front row and say, ‘Aye, Cesar — pizza, pizza — let’s get to it.’” Budden then went on to roast Envy some more, noting that he should bring Cesar up to The Breakfast Club. “Come on, papa. Come on out. Envy, Charlamagne, I don’t need to hear none of that Gunplay sh**, what else y’all got going on up there,” he said. “Bring Cesar up there. I’ll tell you the guest we want to see. I’m tuning in! Enough of all that bringing the political parties, Dr. Umar — all that shit cool. Get Cesar up there, though. Can’t be too hard to find him.”
Overall, this is a situation that continues to develop. However, it remains to be seen whether or not Envy will continue to speak on it. For now, he has remained fairly quiet about it all, aside from a few comments here and there. Let us know what you think of Joe Budden’s remarks, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the music world.
Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner may not be confirmed to be dating, but the internet certainly thinks they are. Claims of covert visits and secret dates have run wild in recent months, with everyone convinced that the pair are an item. However, turns out that not everyone is a fan of the potential pairing.
RadarOnline published an inflammatory report in which several sources reportedly close to Chalamet expressed their concern about the damage that dating a Kardashian/Jenner could have on Chalamet’s career. “Every guy who dates or marries one of the Kar-Jenners winds up on the scrap heap, wondering what happened to their reputation and career,” the source said. “Every one of those guys left their relationship with a Kar-Jenner worse off than they arrived. Kanye’s a walking trainwreck. Caitlyn is a desperately seeking attention has-been. And Kris and Tristan are both out of the NBA and jeered every time they walk into an arena!”
Genuine Concern Or Kardashian Hate?

Anonymous sources must always be taken with a grain of salt. However, what we can do is analyze their incredibly incendiary claims. It’s almost impossible to ignore the anti-Kardashian vitriol in the source’s quotes, which almost borders on slanderous. Blaming Kim Kardashian for Kanye West’s whole deal is almost textbook defamation. Setting aside whether Kanye West has mental health issues, the only person that made Kanye West a man who spews white supremacist talking points at every turn is Kanye West. Calling Caitlyn Jenner a “desperately seeking attention has-been” both reeks of unspoken transphobia and is completely subjective. She’s currently enjoying a presumably cushy gig on Fox News, regardless of how you feel about the station as a whole.
Furthermore, Kris Humphries played 13 years in the NBA and retired in 2017. Humphries was a solid role player who definitely isn’t “jeered every time” he’s at an NBA game. Similarly, Tristan Thompson literally played playoff basketball this season. Additionally, Thompson has also spent over a decade playing in the NBA and once again, is not jeered. We must also address the exes that the source omitted. Travis Scott, the six-time Grammy-nominated recording artist, is the most notable ex left out by the source. Does he have some controversies in his past? Sure. Do they have anything to do with Kylie? No, not really. In short, this feels less like genuine concern for Chalamet and more like someone wanted to take a shot at the easy target of the biggest family in the world.
