Wiz Khalifa’s Feet Disgust Social Media

by

When Wiz Khalifa shared some pictures of him chilling out in the studio, he probably didn’t expect so many people to make fun of his feet. Moreover, the Pittsburgh rap icon posted some pictures to Twitter of him smoking, getting a massage, playing Xbox, and scrolling through his phone in the stu. On the social media platform, people went absolutely ballistic pointing out how odd his feet looked. Whether it was for their cleanliness or for the tattoos on his feet, people shared some pretty hilarious reactions. While he hasn’t yet responded to the online jokes, it’s likely that he’s laughing along.

“You been kicking pancake mix my boy??” one user wrote hilariously. Another wrote “are you ashing on your feet bruh? cause damn.” Overall, responses varied between disgust, joking about ash, and joking about the Bob Marley tattoo on Wiz’s left foot. “Even Bob Marley wondering why his toes look the way they do,” one user tweeted. However, some people also pointed out that it could be the result of a medical condition. Even with jokes flying left and right in seemingly good faith, there are people clearly too noble for Twitter.

Wiz Khalifa’s Twitter Pics In The Studio

Still, Wiz seems unfazed by the comments, although to get a reaction from him could be potentially hilarious. Currently, he seems to be in a very positive and motivated headspace, enjoying the process as much as the result. “I don’t feel any pressure to top what I’ve done,” he recently tweeted. “Only keep adding on and staying authentic to where I’m at in my life. In a world full of formula driven records im making what feels good and what i feel people would enjoy. I wish this much peace and happiness on every artist cause it’s not easy navigating through a long term career. I’m showin all my Taylors what it looks like when done right.”

Meanwhile, he’s looking forward to his upcoming High School Reunion tour with Snoop Dogg, which beings in July. Furthermore, they’ll continue across North America with shows in cities like Toronto, Dallas, Sacramento, and more. All in all, it seems like they’re going to celebrate long careers of successful and creative artistry. Let’s just hope they find a pedicure out there. Check out his roasted feet below and stick around on HNHH for the latest on Wiz Khalifa.

DaBaby Collab With Anthony Hamilton Gets Blasted On Twitter

by

DaBaby and Anthony Hamilton just put out a video for their almost year-old collaboration, “BLANK.” Moreover, the track appeared on Baby’s 2022 album, Baby On Baby 2, which received generally disappointing reviews and marked a commercial downturn. Still, his career lives on, and many fans particularly enjoyed this collaboration. However, upon the recent release of its music video, many took to Twitter to express disappointment in this track. Of course, people pointed out not just the public outrage associated with the Charlotte rapper, but also commented on his musical output.

“If we want to move forward as a people we really have to look in the mirror and figure out what role we as as individuals had in making that Anthony Hamilton and Dababy song happen,” one Twitter user wrote passionately. “I get why folks are mad at Anthony Hamilton for that DaBaby collab,” another expressed. “But outside of that… that song sounds terrible.” Meanwhile, other people noted the sheer surprise factor of such an unexpected collaboration and sound for both artists. “DaBaby featuring Anthony Hamilton was absolutely not on my 2023 bingo card,” one tweeter shared. Well, technically 2022, but the video seems to have really drawn people to that spot on the tracklist.

DaBaby & Anthony Hamilton’s Divisive “BLANK” Collab

As far as the music video itself, it depicts a lavish, dramatic, and fatal relationship and sees both artists dressing dapper. Despite the technical skill at play and the concept at its core, many just focused on the song itself. However, it’s not like the song is universally panned, showing that maybe the hate train can get too exaggerated. “That DaBaby Anthony Hamilton song is actually straight,” a fan remarked. “Glad to see bruh switching it up some.”

Meanwhile, DaBaby continues to see success and continue his career trajectory, albeit often outside of the U.S. For example, he recently revealed that his shows in Hong Kong were almost completely sold out. While this is part of a campaign to show the media he’s still got it, many took his boasting as another knock against him. Regardless, one side won’t turn the other over, and he’ll likely continue to see success no matter who he collaborates with or what he does… as long as his core fans stick by him. For more updates and news on DaBaby and Anthony Hamilton, check back in with HNHH. Also, check out more reactions to their collab track down below.

Rachel Zegler, A Swifty Who Got ‘Screwed By Ticketmaster, Too,’ Got Real About Why She Did The ‘Shazam!’ Sequel

2019 was clearly a different world for many reasons, but also for the fact that Shazam! felt like such a free-wheeling revelation that it landed on our list of favorite comic-book movies from the past decade. Fast forward to the DC Universe being in a very different place with James Gunn taking over (in more ways than one) as the production house’s new chief. And so, Shazam! Fury of the Gods sits in an odd place where it’s good enough as a placeholder, but it’s not blowing over critics by any stretch of the imagination.

That reality probably makes red carpets awkward, too, but Rachel Zegler (who plays one of Atlas’ daughters, Anthea) doesn’t seem phased. In fact, she was super blunt with The Hollywood Reporter about why she took this gig: “I…. needed a job. I’m being so serious.” She wasn’t done yet after the conclusion of this soundbite.

“The reality is we’re in the middle of a pandemic,” Zegler continued. “[A]nd I was not working and I couldn’t get a job for the life of me, because West Side Story hadn’t come out yet. It was really hard to book work for me.”

That sound bite appeared within around a 2:00 minute interview that saw Zegler also discuss what it’s like to be a Taylor Swift fan. As everyone knows, Swift’s Eras tour kicks off this weekend, and Zegler would like the world to know, “I got screwed by Ticketmaster, too. Celebrities, they’re just like us.”

In other words, Ziegler’s got no dice and no tickets after the conglomerate went down during the crush of Swift ticket sales. She’s certainly not alone in her criticism of Ticketmaster, which came under fire this week from The Cure’s fans due to added fees that subsequently “sickened” lead singer Robert Smith. That’s led to Ticketmaster refunding some fees, but that’s probably not enough to quell the debate.

Nor is it enough to score Zegler any Taylor Swift tickets. However, she did clarify to The Hollywood Reporter that she is a Shazam! fan, too. “I loved the first movie, and the fact that they even wanted me to come in for a callback and then a camera read and then everything in between, I’m so lucky that I got this job,” she revealed. “I made some of my best friends on this job. I just absolutely adore this movie, too, so I’m excited.”

Oscar Nominee Tems’ Absurdly Expansive, View-Blocking Dress Inspired Jokes And Fury In Equal Measure

Tems attended the Oscars with a nomination in the Best Original Song category for co-writing “Lift Me Up” from Black Panther. The song, performed by Rihanna during the broadcast, lost to “Naatu Naatu” (by Kala Bhairava, M. M. Keeravani, and Rahul Sipligunj) from RRR. Yet Tems — as with fellow nominee Lady Gaga (who performed “Hold My Hand” from Top Gun: Maverick) — also made headlines for what materialized on the red carpet.

Actually, Tems’ red carpet look overflowed into the semi-stratosphere of the Dolby Theatre. The “Essence” collaborator (who nabbed a spot on our the Most Anticipated R&B Albums Of 2023 list) attended the awards ceremony in a Lever Spring/Summer Couture dress. The gown burst out of all structural confines on the red carpet, and that includes the dramatic headpiece, which remained in place when she took her seat.

As a result, several people who were seated behind and surrounding Tems ended up not being able to see the show. The “stratus cloud” effect was real:

Yep, Tems ended up blocking views from people who either tweeted about this absurdity or were photographed as such.

Was this a “rude” move as noted on Twitter?

Or was this a case of purposefully “taking up space” to express confidence with being seen and heard as a Black woman?

Both statements can be true and valid, as a few Tweeters noted.

Still, the debate raged between people who found Tems’ strategy to be less than polite at a seated event (the headdress could have been adjustable, at least?)…

… and those who offered plentiful support for the aforementioned “taking up space” concept.

Angela Bassett Trends On Twitter As Users Anticipate Oscars Win

by

Angela Bassett became a Twitter trend as users anticipate her Oscars win for her role in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Moreover, many fans online really want her to win the Best Supporting Actress award, especially after she won the Golden Globe. In fact, it’s quite the stacked year with a lot of stellar performances and great films to watch. Furthermore, the other nominees in this category are Kerry Condon, Jamie Lee Curtis, Stephanie Tsu, and Hong Chau. Overall, Bassett was already nominated for an Oscar before, but this might just be the year.

In other awards show news, Bassett recently accepted the award for Entertainer of the Year at the NAACP Image Awards. During her acceptance speech, she referenced a highly criticized performance from Ariana DeBose during the BAFTA Awards where she rapped about the female nominees. “I guess Angela Bassett did the thing,” she joked referencing DeBose’s bit. Earlier that night, she said she actually DM’d DeBose to check in on her after people clowned her. Queen Ramonda is as gracious and kind off-screen as she is on.

“I DM’d her last night,” she told Variety on the red carpet. “I did. It was beautiful. I just wanted to make sure she was OK because, you know, it’s a lot of attention. And she is A-OK.” She continued her thoughts during an Extra red carpet interview at the SAG Awards. “I saw her that night, and I gave her a big hug,” the 64-year-old revealed. “She, my daughter, and I have pictures together. So, we were really thrilled. And then, when I saw [the performance] come out and really take flight, I DM’d her. I said, ‘I hope you’re not at all bothered by the attention we’re generating, my dear, because you’re fierce, and I adore you.’”

“We love how everyone is having fun with it now!” she added. “Just having fun.” Now, it seems like all those people that went crazy over DeBose’s display seem to be concentrating their viral energies into manifesting an Academy Award for the acclaimed actress. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates from the Oscars and Angela Bassett.

Jordin Sparks Gets Clowned By Social Media For National Anthem Performance

by

Twitter’s just never going to be a very nice place, is it? Jordin Sparks recently got clowned on social media for her performance of the national anthem at the Big 12 Championship game. Moreover, many people compared it to Fergie’s infamous national anthem performance during an NBA All-Star Game. However, many also said that Sparks’ rendition wasn’t that bad, as Fergie’s spread like legitimate wildfire online. Still, whether you have an opinion on that, it’s always a bit sad to see so much hate thrown on social media sites for performances like these.

Still, people are entitled to their take, and it probably says something significant if a lot of people did not like your performance. With all that said, it’s not like Sparks is constantly in the public limelight, so hopefully she’s not getting an absurd amount of haters down her throat. In fact, her most recent big story before this performance was that Chris Brown’s abuse of Rihanna caused their collab “No Air” to get snubbed at the Grammys. Given how Brown’s career’s progressed since then, maybe it was best for Sparks to get a little distance.

Jordin Sparks Clowned For National Anthem

“Honestly, I think that shouldn’t even be a conversation anymore,” she remarked, defending his history of violence. “It’s about his talent, and they just shouldn’t have canceled the performance. That’s how I feel about it. People deserve to be able to grow and learn. Be able to live their life without things hanging over them. Everybody deserves that.” While her comments obviously didn’t land with people in the most positive way, she does make a point about growth. It’s all about how people move forward from those things, or how they stick by old ways.

Regardless of all that, people still laughed off her rendition of the national anthem. While the singer keeps dropping music on a relatively low-key level, perhaps people remember this instance a little more. Hopefully, the 33-year-old’s fans remind the haters of some of her classics. Still, check out reactions above and stay logged into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Jordin Sparks.

Worms Seemingly Rain Down On China, Twitter Reacts

by

What may seem like the concept of a horror movie for some has transpired into real life. This week, residents of Liaoning, China were showered with rainfalls of worms, as reported by the Mirror. Seemingly coming from mid-air, these squiggly creatures made their way from the sky to the ground, covering the cars and streets en masse. Locals of the town attempted to go about their day with umbrellas, while authorities advised seeking shelter.

This strange ordeal remains a mystery, though several theories depict ways that the creepy crawlies could have found their way into Liaoning. For one, the Mother Nature Network suggests that the worms were swept up by large winds that eventually led them to be caught in a rainstorm. The journal notes that this phenomenon shows similarities to when insects are caught in whirlpools.

China Authorities Urge Residents To Take Shelter

Surprisingly, these raining worms have not been the only unexplainable cause to have stumped biologists. In 2015, Texas experienced its own downfall of slimy creatures on the road in Eisenhower State Park. Initially, Park Rangers assumed that this sighting was a careless dropping of pasta noodles until they noticed that the squiggles were in fact worms. Eight years later, the occurrence still remains a mystery.

Twitter users took to the platform to discuss this strange occurrence, with some debunking this rainstorm of worms altogether. One user wrote, “these are not worms or animals, but flower stalks dropped from trees,” suggesting that the worm-like sightings were actually just the bloom from poplar flowers. Others who refuse to believe the photos are suggesting that they may have been staged.

While the unsightly event in China stirred up questions and hypotheses from both scientists and social media users alike, some remain outright disturbed by the idea of worms raining from the sky. “If I was just minding my business on a casual day in China and it started raining worms ?? I’d just die,” one user tweeted. Another added, “I consider myself a strong woman. BUT, this would probably give me a heart attack.” To keep up with the latest news on hip-hop, pop culture, and the strangeness within the world, check out HNHH.

Chris Brown Calls Himself A “Rizz God”

by

One of the Internet’s new favorite words these days is “rizz,” although it’s probably already old to some people at this point. Regardless, it means “charisma” in the basic sense, and it’s a meme these days because… it’s a funny word, how could it not be? Regardless, Chris Brown recently posted a video on Instagram labeling himself a “Rizz God,” whatever that means. Of course, the singer’s recent investigations, resurfaced allegations, and online reckoning contradict any shred of charisma. However, as he continues to tour around the world and find fans at every turn, his statement is unfortunately undeniable.

Furthermore, the R&B star’s been in the middle of a lot of backlash and controversy these past few weeks. It all started, seemingly, when Chlöe announced a collab with him. After fans responded with Brown’s history of abuse and violence, he went on various rants and beefed with everyone from Kiely Williams to a gaggle of white celebrities that he posted online. In fact, things seem to balance out between an accusation or attack at him, and waves of defensive fans online. Despite the negativity and adoration, Brown seems to sit comfortably in the middle, letting it all phase by. This newest video, for example, is really just him having fun and nothing more.

Chris Brown Is Starting To Feel Like A “Rizz God”

For those of you unfamiliar, the video references some TikTok audios and challenges that “show you how to flirt.” Hence, the “Look At Me Now” star’s exaggerated facial expressions and overacting come off quite comical. However, nothing could’ve really predicted that Chris Brown would one day call himself a “Rizz God,” even though that’s exactly what he would do. While it’s often funny to see celebrities tap into viral trends or lingo, the polarizing conversation around him makes it tough to fully enjoy.

Still, he’ll continue his Europe tour dates throughout March, where fans can see the “rizz” for themselves. As an excellent overall performer, it should be a treat for his fans. However, it seems like more and more people are getting tired of his antics, so time will tell how his career legacy evolves. With that in mind, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Chris Brown.
