Ashanti’s Vacation Glow Is Unmatched, Singer Thirst Traps In A Golden Bikini

While Ice Spice and Megan Thee Stallion are best known for twerking, another of our favourite starlets, Ashanti, is continuously in the headlines for looking beautiful on vacation. The 43-year-old has always been a fan of travelling around the globe. Thanks to the hard work put into her music career, she’s able to explore some of our planet’s most beautiful locations. Most recently, Ashanti appears to be living the dream in Turks and Caicos, where her bikini body has been breaking plenty of necks.

Over the past few days, the black-haired beauty has been giving us glimpses into her break from reality. She and some close friends headed out on the water on their jetskis, and Ashanti’s infectious laugh was ringing out as she watched her companions take a tumble into the beautiful blue ocean beneath them. Elsewhere, she caught a rambunctious live performance and spent some time modelling a tiny golden bikini while relaxing on a boat.

In one video that made it onto her Story, Ashanti showed off her hourglass figure in a door that looked like a mirror, much to her benefit. Others showed off the stunning views surrounding her, which obviously dull in comparison to the “Always On Time” hitmaker. Her beau didn’t appear to be on the trip with her, but that doesn’t mean he’s not thirsting after her social media uploads just like the rest of us.

Ashanti has been making the most of every moment 2023 has thrown at her so far, but October in particular has been a huge month for the New Yorker. Days before heading out to the tropics on her latest vacation, she celebrated her birthday in the company of close friends and Nelly, who iced her out with an incredible chain. See that heartwarming moment unfold at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Britney Spears Ditches L.A. Amid Knife Controversy, Heads To Private Island

Britney Spears has had an undeniably rough couple of months. The pop star’s husband Sam Asghari filed for a divorce back in August. Most recently, she’s been under fire for appearing to exercise poor caution while handling knives. At the end of last month, Spears shared one of her iconic dancing videos on social media. This time, however, she was holding two dangerous blades. The video left fans concerned, despite her claims that the knives were simply props.

The video even prompted someone to call authorities, encouraging them to stop by the hitmaker’s home to make sure she was okay. This struck a nerve with the “Gimme More” singer, and she was sure to let followers know. “Is it a joke in the news again with welfare checks???” she wrote. “Come on America … we cooler than that, right ??? The officers came to my home and said they would not leave until they spoke to me as people do 4 minute performances with them. I am getting an apology. I’ve been bullied in my home for so long now…ITS ENOUGH,” Spears explained. Clearly, the mother of two just wants to be left alone.

Britney Spears Enjoys Her Vacation Despite Drama

Luckily for her, it looks like she’s found the perfect getaway, far from all the drama. Sources claim that she recently set off for The Brando, a resort in French Polynesia that’s previously been visited by the likes of Beyonce and Kim Kardashian. In a new clip, the songstress is seen showing off some of her signature dance moves on a private jet with friends.

Later in the clip, Spears appears to be enjoying herself on horseback, trotting along and taking in the beautiful scenery. It seems as though the icon will finally be getting some peace and quiet.

Erica Mena Says Bernice Burgos Is Her Skin Colour Goals, Responds To “Blackfacing” Backlash

After a rough few weeks of being one of the most-talked-about reality stars in America, Erica Mena felt that the time was right for a vacation. She and some of her closest friends are currently soaking up the sun together, and the former Love & Hip-Hop cast member has been surprisingly active on social media. Seeing as she’s still in hot water for referring to Spice as a “monkey” on Love & Hip-Hop, we assumed Mena might be fixing to take a break from the public eye. However, according to her latest livestream, she’s got plenty of exciting projects in the works, and some ambitious goals for her physical appearance.

While broadcasting to her Instagram followers, the New York native proudly showed off her curvy booty in a string-cut bathing suit. “I better leave here the same colour as Bernice,” she told her company off-camera while floating in the pool. “If I’m not Bernice’s colour, I’m not getting on that plane,” Mena said with a smile, referring to Drake’s former lover, Bernice Burgos.

Of course, it wasn’t long before Mena began to face criticism for aspiring to darken her complexion after insulting a Black woman. Thankfully, there were a few people who came to her defence. “She’s referring to Bernice because they are both of Hispanic/Latina culture. Practically saying how can she hate Black as a skin colour when her nationality produces the same skin colours,” one person inferred on @theneighborhoodtalk’s post.

“Who wouldn’t want to have Bernice’s beautiful colour?” Mena asked when sticking up for herself in @theshaderoom’s comments this afternoon. “Especially on vacation,” she continued. “The fact that I actually do get colour naturally in the sun ALL my life and it’s now being considered as me blackfacing is pathetic.”

Kim Kardashian Shares Bikini-Clad Vacation Photo Dump

Any time Kim Kardashian makes a social media post, it gets a lot of attention. That was the case when she shared a series of new vacation pics sporting jeans and a bikini top. In the pic, she’s accompanied by Natalie Halcro and Olivia Pierson in a gorgeous looking villa. Later on in the set of pictures the trio are posing on a ping pong table with Kim in particular sprawled out on top of it.

Kim Kardashian’s Nighttime Vacation Pics

Kim Kardashian recently shifted her focus into acting when she took on a role in American Horror Story: Delicate. Fans have been feverishly anticipating the release of the show and it’s right around the corner.

The highly-anticipated season premieres later this week when the first half of the season drops on Hulu.

Kim Kardashian has also been popping up at some of the biggest tour stops of the summer.

Swizz Beatz And DMX’s Sons Enjoy Vacation Together In Sweet New Photo

Swizz Beatz recently took to social media to share a sweet new photo from vacation. His son Genesis is seen posing alongside the late DMX’s son, Exodus. The seven and 8-year-old duo rock matching poses as they stand on the beach. “DMX & SWIZZ BEATZ on vaca,” the artist wrote alongside a series of emojis. As expected, social media users are chiming in on the adorable shot, and wondering, “When is the collab coming?”

“2 Legends In The Making,” another writes. Fans are glad to see the two artists’ sons seeming to develop a bond much like their fathers’. DMX passed away back in 2021 at the age of 50, survived by his 15 children. Exodus was his youngest, and was only 4-years-old when his father died. The two boys looks to be healthy and in good spirits, which comes as a relief to supporters. Exodus was revealed to have stage 3 chronic kidney disease back in 2022.

He came to me. And this was, like, super quick too. And he let me know he was good. I’m the person that be like, ‘He ain’t come to see you, what you talkin’ about?’ I seen him. I felt him.” Keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Swizz Beatz.

Stormzy & Maya Jama Reconciliation Rumours Run Rampant As Exes Seemingly Vacation Together

Spinning the block has become an increasingly popular option amongst the celebrity dating pool in recent years. Pairs like Ashanti and Nelly, or Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck have successfully reconciled after decades apart, making a case for the rest of us that maybe it’s not so horrible to text your ex after all. Another pair who’s believed to be spending time together again years after their breakup is British rapper Stormzy, and television personality Maya Jama. According to The Sun, the pair are having a belated celebration for her birthday in Greece at this time, and the 30-year-old is doing everything he can to give his ex the treatment she deserves.

“Stormzy is mad for Maya and has spent huge amounts of money taking her on a luxury holiday,” a source dished to the outlet. “He chartered a private jet to Greece then they flew into the resort by helicopter. It’s all very romantic. The Amanzoe is incredibly pricey and they’ve been waited on hand and foot.” Because Jama celebrated her 29th in August, Stormzy wanted to make it as memorable as possible for her. “She means the world to him and he wants her to be treated like a queen,” an insider explained.

Maya Jama Ends Her Birthday Month with a Dream Vacation

As per another report from The Sun, it was the Croydon-born lyricist’s mother who encouraged him to patch things up with Jama. “Stormzy is really close to his mum Abigail who has always been Maya’s biggest fan,” a source shared. As he embarks on his 30s, the lyricist is looking forward to settling down with “The One,” which is apparently what he recognizes the socialite as.

Prior to sparking Stormzy reconciliation rumours, Maya Jama spent some time in a whirlwind romance with NBA athlete Ben Simmons. He eventually proposed to her with a stunning ring worth a reported $1M, but months after they went their separate ways, he sent her a legal demand requesting the luxury jewelry back. Read more about that at the link below, and let us know if you’re rooting for the Love Island host and her rapper beau in the comments.

Chris Brown Jumps From A Waterfall In Jamaica

Chris Brown recently ventured to the Caribbean for a major performance at BZR weekend. The multi-day event takes place in Kingston, Jamaica and features performances from various artists, with Brown closing the weekend. The Virginia-born performer landed in the island’s capital earlier this week, and has since been sure to make the most of his trip.

He was spotted enjoying himself at a club earlier this weekend, vibing to some music while surrounded by friends. It looks like he’s also been pretty adventurous as of late, based on another clip. In the clip, Brown is seen preparing to jump off of a waterfall, clinging on to a couple of people who appear to be assisting him. He seemed to hesitate for a moment, but eventually committed to the jump. Some social media users are clowning him for looking a bit shaky amid the leap, but others can’t blame him for being careful.

Chris Brown Gets Adventurous

As expected, fans were overjoyed that the artist traveled to Jamaica to perform. Upon his arrival, reporters caught up with him and he shared a few thoughts. “Thank y’all for having me back, I appreciate y’all,” Brown said, “Jamaica, I’m here man. I’m excited.” Sean Kingston, who is also on the lineup, also spoke on the event. “I’m coming to co-headline with my brother Chris Breezy and we turning it up,” he explained. “It’s gonna be beautiful vibes so I’m looking forward to it. I’m coming home, it’s gonna be a movie, performing all the hits.”

Chris Brown’s Caribbean performance isn’t the only thing he has to be excited about lately. Earlier this month, the artist announced the potential release date of his new album, 11:11. Fittingly, the LP is expected to drop on November 11 of this year. The new project will also include 11 songs. “IM JUST focused on giving y’all the best to digest,” he told fans.

Jamie Foxx Living Large On Mexico Vacation

Jamie Foxx has headed south of the border, jetting off on vacation in the beautiful Mexican city of Tulum. Tulum is a pre-Mayan walled city with beautiful beaches, amazing history, and world-famous swimming holes. Foxx was spotted enjoying said swimming holes in photos published by various online outlets.

The vacation comes just five months after the actor was suddenly hospitalized in April while on the set of his upcoming Netflix film, Back In Action. It was the latest in a long series of issues that had hampered production. Furthermore, the coverage of Foxx’s hospitalization was a mess, with Foxx seemingly both on the verge of death and recovering well. After many conflicting reports about his status, his daughter revealed in mid-May that he had been out of the hospital for several weeks.

Foxx also spoke more personally about his recovery in a post featuring more snaps from his vacation. “You’re lookin at a man who is thankful… finally startin to feel like myself… it’s been an unexpected dark journey… but I can see the light… I’m thankful to everyone that reached out and sent well wishes and prayers… I have a lot of people to thank… u just don’t know how much it meant… I will be thanking all of you personally… and if you didn’t know… GOD IS GOOD… all day every day… #swipeleft #imbackandimbetter #nobaddays,” Foxx wrote alongside a handful of selfies posted to Instagram. Messages of support from the likes of Jeremy Renner and Octavia Spencer could be seen in the comments section.

It’s the latest positive update from the star, who was also recently seen playing pickleball with some star opponents. Foxx was seen getting into some doubles action. Also taking part in the workout were NFL agent Ryan Sherry, director Taylor Chien, and Olympic beach volleyball player Casey Patterson. It appeared to be quite a lively match, with Patterson posting a video of a particularly nasty shot from Foxx. A beautiful spinning drop-shot, Foxx’s effort was basically impossible to return. “That Jamie Foxx spin will get ya,” Patterson captioned the video.

Kodak Black Enjoys Italy Vacation While His Lawyer Goes To Court Hearing

Kodak Black is no stranger to legal trouble, and it seems like that experience has numbed him to the court setting. Moreover, his attorney Bradford Cohen recently attended a status hearing in on the Florida rapper’s drug case in Broward County according to a Local10.com report from Friday (August 11). While the court did not require Yak to attend physically, Cohen still let them know of his whereabouts during his time at the hearing. Apparently, Kodak was “enjoying himself” on a boat in Italy, specifically Capri. Considering how much this particular case has lasted, it’s understandable that he would want some space to breathe, as much as that process has been mostly his doing.

Furthermore, the hearing relates to a June arrest for failing to submit a drug test, which was part of his pretrial release terms. Authorities initially arrested Kodak Black back in July of 2022 for oxycodone trafficking, controlled substance possession, and expired driver’s license and tags. After this run-in, they released him on $75,000 bond, and officials issued a warrant for his arrest in February for failing to submit the drug test. Eventually they caught him in June for similar charges, and released him on $175,000 bond.

In addition, the judge in this case allowed for the 26-year-old to spend 30 days in a rehab facility to work on his struggles. Even though Kodak Black is assumedly having a great time overseas, this comes shortly after many fans voiced concern for his health and sent him well-wishes following a scary scenario. The Pistolz & Pearlz MC was reportedly stretchered into a hospital, based on a video on social media that seems to depict him entering the premises. It seems like things got better quickly, so hopefully Kodak is enjoying the best health possible during his trip.

Meanwhile, it’s unclear exactly how much longer he will have to reckon with these legal roadblocks. Whether it’s release term renegotiations or actually following up on these, there will likely be more updates in this case soon. After all, one would think that he would go to court as a final goodbye if it was wrapping up soon. On that note, stay up to date on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Kodak Black.

Kanye West & Wife Bianca Censori Leave Little To The Imagination Out In Tuscany

Kanye West and Bianca Censori have been together for about eight months now, and it feels like they’ve traveled the globe in that time. Whether it’s outings around the states, Europe, or Asia, the couple has gone all over, with paparazzi following them almost every step of the way. Of course, it doesn’t help their sense of privacy that they decide to wear some eye-catching fits on their travels. On Saturday (August 5), Ye and Bianca went around Tuscany, and the Chicago rapper wore a black jacket with no shirt and matching long pants. Moreover, his (ceremonious) wife donned a sheer cream leotard and a brown toque.

In fact, they weren’t alone this time, as they walked around with a friend in grey sweatpants and top. From what paparazzi were able to snag, it’s unclear what they were doing walking around the town, but there were smiles all around. Both are pretty tight-lipped about their relationship, as they don’t speak to the media or post anything on their socials. That might change now that Kanye West got his Twitter back and deleted all his posts, but if it does, how much longer will it be before he lands back in hot water?

Regardless, at least the two are just enjoying their time together and hopefully taking some time to calm down and reflect as well. They don’t let anything get in the way of that, even coarse pavement and grass. During another pap-snapped outing around Italy, Kanye West and Bianca Censori walked around barefoot, adding to the long list of their uniquely strange fashion choices. At this point, it’s more exciting to see what they wear rather than what they do or where they go.

Meanwhile, amid rumors of new music, we’ll see how much more Kanye and Bianca pop up around the world. Many fans hope that the Yeezy mogul will return to releases despite all his controversies and fallout with public favor. Still, he has his wife by his side, and all we can hope is that they’ve filled a void for each other and aren’t just going through the motions. On that note, stick around on HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Kanye West and Bianca Censori.
