Are Bad Bunny And Kendall Jenner Dating?

Avert your eyes, Devin Booker. It’s been nearly one month since dating rumors were sparked between Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner. TMZ relayed the recent Grammy winner and Jenner were spotted last month leaving the Beverly Hills restaurant Wally’s separately, but the belief was that they had been there together on “a double date” with Justin and Hailey Bieber.

And then Wednesday, March 8, more tangible evidence spread faster than a Bad Bunny track across the internet: Bunny and Jenner appeared to have been caught mid-kiss in West Hollywood, California.

Per Page Six, Bad Bunny and Jenner had been at dinner with Kylie Jenner and family friend Travis Bennett (aka former Odd Future member Taco).

However, there has been no concrete confirmation from Bad Bunny nor Jenner that they are dating. Both parties’ representation hadn’t responded to the outlet’s request for comment.

Jenner was previously in a long-term relationship with Booker, an All-NBA and All-Star point guard for the Phoenix Suns.

People reported last November that the couple had ended their relationship the month prior. An unnamed source told the publication, “Both have incredibly busy schedules right now with their careers and they’ve decided to make that a priority.”

People added, “An insider also revealed that the decision to end their romantic relationship was mutual and just came down to timing, though Jenner and Booker do plan to stay in touch.”

Also in November, E! News cited an unnamed insider relaying that Jenner was “not really open to dating right now.”

Enter: Bad Bunny?

MrBeast Responds To Polarizing South Africa Charity Video On Twitter

by

MrBeast’s latest charity video, gifting 20,000 kids in South Africa their first pair of shoes, drew some controversy and even a response from the content creator on Twitter. Moreover, the YouTube sensation is known for his charity videos, of which recent high-profile example was helping 1,000 blind people see. As charitable and good-natured as these videos seem, many online believe that such acts are performative. However, such backlash paired with a seemingly equal number of defensive responses from fans. In fact, the social media star responded to this most recent South Africa video addressing his detractors.

“Just a reminder for those of you that don’t normally watch this channel,” he tweeted. “Beast Philanthropy is a charity we run and all the revenue from these videos goes towards running our food pantries and helping people around the world. Our charity owns this channel, I thought it’d be fun to use my fame to create a loop of helping. Film good deed, inspire millions of kids to do good, use revenue from good deed to do next good deed.”

MrBeast Gives 20,000 South African Kids Their First Pair Of Sneakers

Meanwhile, people on Twitter expressed a variety of emotions. Many pointed out that these charitable videos just add to more exposure, promotion, and revenue for an already rich content creator. On the other hand, many just took the gesture as heartfelt, effective, and overall positive. Overall, consensus online points in two directions: distrust of his business and content model or complacency with its positive impact. It’s something that celebrities, especially MrBeast, have to handle all the time with philanthropy and speaking on social issues. However, the conversation around this channel in particular is almost exhausting at this point.

After all, he won Favorite Male Creator at the 2023 Kids’ Choice Awards, which is a lot of his main demographic. Increased attention and conversation surrounding his charitable efforts is only going to further promote it, however negative it may be. With that in mind, at least MrBeast is doing something good for others, which takes precedence over any public image. Regardless of your take, check out reactions down below and return to HNHH for more big news on MrBeast.

Twitter Reacts To MrBeasts’s Charity Video

No, Nick Cannon’s ‘Who’s Having My Baby,’ A Game Show Searching For A New Baby Mama, Probably Isn’t Real

by

Yesterday (March 7), Nick Cannon and Kevin Hart announced Who’s Having My Baby? with a trailer. What is it? It looked like an upcoming game show on E! hosted by Hart, in which Cannon looks for a new woman to impregnate and add to the whopping 12 children he already has.

Now, Who’s Having My Baby? is a ridiculous concept for a game show, but in some ways, it seemed somewhat plausible. Cannon has been eager to joke about his prolific paternity and Hart previously got in on the fun by sending Cannon a condom vending machine. Furthermore, perhaps impregnation wasn’t the literal goal of the game show, and the promo was just a clickbait-y sort of introduction for a show with a less atypical premise. E! getting in on the video made everything seem more real, too:

Ultimately, though, it does appear that Who’s Having My Baby? is fake, at least in terms of it being a genuine game show. Variety reports that the idea is “actually a gag, orchestrated by comedian Kevin Hart, as a sketch for an upcoming, not-yet-announced project,” which could be announced as soon as today, per “insiders.”

Neither Cannon nor Hart have yet to drop the bit and reveal the show isn’t real, but it appears an announcement on that front is coming soon.

City Girls’ Awkward Rolling Loud Interviewer Responds To Backlash: “I STILL GOT PAID”

by

Rolling Loud California is over for another season, but the internet isn’t quite done talking about the hip-hop festival yet. Praise is continuing to pour in for 23-year-old Ice Spice, who brought in one of the biggest audiences of the weekend for her set, and plenty of other female artists showed their stuff too. Among them were Nicki Minaj, who made a surprise visit during Lil Wayne’s stage time, and the City Girls, who debuted a new song while they were performing.

“Piñata” is the title of the unreleased single. We have no official premiere date as of now. Still, Yung Miami previously said that new music from her and JT is coming sometime this spring and/or summer. As they put on a show, rapping old favourites from their discography, as well as more recent arrivals, the City Girls reminded audiences exactly why they love them. From their curve-hugging, coordinated outfits to the sheer excitement of securing the bag at Rolling Loud beside their best friend, the partners in rhyme looked as though nothing could ruin their mood last weekend.

City Girls Take Rolling Loud California 2023

Unfortunately, that energy didn’t last long. At one point during the festival, Caresha and Jatavia spoke with media personality Tamera Kissen, and needless to say, the interview was nothing short of unprofessional. In a clip that’s been circulating online, the host and Yung Miami go back and forth about previously linking up at an event while JT awkwardly watches on. By the time the City Girls start answering questions, things only become more embarrassing to take in.

“Did you know it’s the 50th day of hip-hop today?” Kissed asked. “No,” the REVOLT podcast host responded. “Me neither, they told me to talk about it,” the host said, obnoxiously laughing. Shortly after, she began pressing the City Girls for details on when they “last let a broke dude hit,” among other uncomfortable topics. As the video continues to circulate online, plenty of backlash is pouring in for the interviewer. At the same time, the “Twerkulator” artists are hearing praise for pushing through the weird moment.

Tamera Kissen Responds to Backlash

On her Twitter page, Kissen has had plenty to say about her chat with the City Girls. “The community really don’t f*ck with you if you ain’t full Black, let’s just be honest,” she vented online. In response, another user wrote, “No baby, it was just a really bad interview. Like… horrific. Nothing to do with race, learn and grow.” Not letting the haters get her down, the 28-year-old continued to rant about the situation in another series of tweets.

“Some FYI: When footage is raw and unedited like that and people throw things at you last min as an interviewer it’s because someone on the job doesn’t want you to do good. Nothing I haven’t dealt [with] before,” she began. “Shit really ain’t that serious. The girls that don’t like me all look the saaaaaaaaaame.” Kissen went on to compare the industry to being back in high school before reminding followers that “at the end of the day, [SHE] STILL GOT PAID.” Let us know what you thought of the City Girls’ awkward Rolling Loud interview below, and check back later for more pop culture news.

A Group Of Senior Citizens’ Perfect Rihanna Super Bowl Halftime Show Remake TikTok Caught Rihanna And Jay-Z’s Attention

2023 has already been huge for Rihanna thanks to her kicking the year off by performing the Super Bowl Halftime Show. Some folks thought the performance was obscene enough to file complaints with the FCC, with at least one viewer likening it to pornography. Residents at Arcadia Senior Living Bowling Green in Kentucky were apparently cool with it, though, so much so that they re-created the performance themselves (and earned the attention of Jay-Z in the process).

A TikTok video shared back in February starts with two rows of white-clad seniors lined up, parting to reveal the Rihanna of the video, wearing all red and enthusiastically mouthing along to Rihanna’s “Rude Boy.” The clip was a viral hit and has since been viewed over 30 million times.

Jay-Z was apparently tickled by the video, as he sent a bouquet of roses to the Arcadia Senior Living memers. Arcadia resident Sue Evans told Bowling Green’s WNKY, “There’s 100 of them. And they’re from Jay-Z. My granddaughter was worried and she told her mother, ‘I hope she knows who Jay-Z is!’”

Fellow Arcadia resident Dora Martin also said, “My grandchildren and I watched and there were flips and flops and I was standing there thinking, ‘Wow, I wish I could do that,’ and then I did do that.” She added, “I went to the doctor the other day and the nurses, as soon as I walked in there, knew who I was.”

Martin also said of Jay-Z’s gesture, “I thought that was wonderful, very nice of him!”

Rihanna sent flowers as well, according to a post on Arcadia’s Facebook page.

Jay-Z & Rihanna Gift Flowers To Viral Senior Citizens For TikTok Of Halftime Show

by

Jay-Z & Rihanna just sent residents of Arcadia Senior Living flowers after their TikTok rendition of her Super Bowl halftime show went viral. In fact, the video has over 30 million views, what do you mean you haven’t seen it on your page? Regardless, the video shows a group of senior citizens dressed in red and white, mimicking RiRi’s aesthetic for her show. Overall, media from everywhere picked up the news, from The Today Show to UK outlets. What’s more is that Hov, who helped organize the show, sent them a special gift for their wholesome video.

“There’s 100 of them,” Arcadia Senior Living resident Sue Evans remarked on NBC News 40. “And they’re from Jay-Z. My granddaughter was worried and she told her mother- ‘I hope she knows who Jay-Z is!’” On the other hand, many interviewed residents spoke on how the viral moment’s affected their day-to-day. “My grandchildren and I watched and there were flips and flops and I was standing there thinking wow I wish I could do that. And then i did do that,” said resident Dora Martin.

“I went to the doctor the other day. The nurses, as soon as I walked in there, knew who I was,” she continued. Also, she thanked Jay for his kind gesture. “I thought that was wonderful, very nice of him!” It seems one of hip-hop’s busiest figures is still tapped into how people connect to his craft. “We thought about pressing them in a book. But we haven’t got a big enough book,” resident Ora Rampenthal added. Meanwhile, Evans said that their TikTok account (with 113,000 followers and counting) goes deeper than just a viral moment.

“I hope they see that getting old and living in a facility is not all bad like we used to think it was,” she stated. While people reacted in a lot of different ways to Rihanna’s show, this is another level. Still, the world’s probably a bit more wholesome for it right now. Regardless, check out Arcadia’s rendition here and stay posted on HNHH for the latest on Jay-Z and Rihanna.

City Girls’ Awkward Rolling Loud Interview Makes Rounds Online: “JT’s Face Says It All”

by

If you didn’t catch the City Girls’ set at Rolling Loud California this past weekend, you definitely missed out. Both JT and Yung Miami were looking “real bad,” wearing coordinated blue and yellow feather-clad bodysuits that markedly left their busts on display. Besides looking good, the rap divas were sounding good too, performing some of their old fan favourites, as well as previewing new music that’s coming, hopefully, soon.

During their roughly 30 minutes on stage, the “Twerkulator” hitmakers previewed “Piñata,” a bass-heavy track that’s sure to sound great in the clubs this summer. It remains unclear exactly when the City Girls will be releasing the song, but fans are undeniably hungry for a follow-up to July 2022’s “Good Love” featuring Usher. While attending an event for Netflix’sYou People earlier this year, Yung Miami confirmed that the warmer seasons will likely see a return from her and JT this year.

New Music from City Girls OTW

The duo’s last project, City On Lock landed in 2020, boasting tracks like “P*ssy Talk” and “Jobs.” Caresha and Jatavia also lined up a strong roster of guest features, including Yo Gotti, Doja Cat, Lil Durk, and Lil Baby. Here’s hoping that their next release yields just as many must-hear collaborations for fans of the City Girls.

Elsewhere at Rolling Loud, an awkward interview that the rap divas gave has been circulating online, with many chastising the journalist for her lack of professionalism. In the clip, she and Miami realize they know one another from a previous engagement, though neither of them seems prepared to explain what it was. While they uncomfortably chat in front of the camera, the look on JT’s face makes it clear that the vibes are weird for her too.

Rolling Loud Ridiculousness

“Did you know it’s the 50th day of hip-hop today?” she asks the partners in rhyme following the odd banter. “No,” Miami responds. “Me neither,” the journalist says with an obnoxious laugh. “They told me to talk about it.” As she and Caresha laugh, JT’s face becomes even more laughable as she tries to contain her annoyance. After hearing the media personality’s next question, however, all bets were off.

“When was the last time you let a broke dude hit?” she confidently asked the City Girls. “Never,” the podcast host immediately says with a straight face. “Probably like, 2014,” the “Ex For A Reason” artist said, side-eyeing the interviewer while speaking. Check out all the ridiculousness in the video above, and let us know what you thought of Rolling Loud California 2023 in the comments.

North West’s TikTok Cosplay Video As Ice Spice Has People Debating (Something) And Resurfacing An Old Kanye Clip

North West has emerged as a major Ice Spice fan, as Kanye West and Kim Kardashian’s 9-year-old daughter made a pretty great drawing of the rapper and even linked up with Ice Spice herself and made some TikTok videos. Now, though, North’s newest batch of TikTok posts is stirring up some conversations.

In a series of posts shared today (March 6), North dons a curly orange wig and an Ice Spice-like outfit as she and friends dance and mouth along to Ice Spice TikTok sounds. Here’s one of those videos, which is set to Ice Spice and PinkPantheress’ “Boy’s A Liar Pt. 2”:

@kimandnorth

♬ Boy’s a liar Pt. 2 – PinkPantheress & Ice Spice

This clip and the others have spawned multiple varieties of discourse. Some Twitter users took exception to 9-year-old North listening to a song with sexual lyrics like, “Sayin’ he home, but I know where he at, like / Bet he blowin’ her back / Thinkin’ ’bout me ’cause he know that it’s fat.” In response to that, others pointed out that kids have been hearing suggestive popular tunes for decades now.

Some people resurfaced an older video of Kanye talking about TikTok (with some re-sharers inaccurately billing it as Kanye’s response specifically to North’s Ice Spice fascination). In the video, Kanye vents his frustrations about North’s TikTok activity and how he doesn’t want her to be “used” by the platform.

Some people stood in solidarity with Kanye, like one user who wrote, “Kanye was right and y’all just ignorant. no way you see a actual child dressing up like a Sexualized rapper who makes music about sexualized things cute and funny. It’s disgusting.”

North herself is hopefully avoiding the discourse altogether, as the ability to comment on her TikTok posts is turned off.

Finesse2Tymes Criticized For Gift To Friend Who Took Charges For Him

by

Finesse2Tymes recently picked up his friend who took charges for him from prison, giving him a gift that has people split on social media. Moreover, the Memphis rapper picked up his now free friend on his first day out with $5K and a lot of new sneakers. While he clearly expressed a lot of gratitude and happiness for coming home to his colleagues with gifts, many on social media didn’t agree. Furthermore, a lot of people were critical of the seemingly insufficient gesture. Considering Finesse’s own prison time, it’s no doubt that he knows what people would appreciate after coming out.

“11 years for 5k!!!” one user commented. “’Your honor I will tell you where all the bodies are,’” joking that it wasn’t worth not cooperating. “Well if that’s what happened he in fact did get finessed two times,” another added. Even though Finesse has been busy releasing new music since his release from jail, many thought he could’ve done more. “5k ain’t even enough to convince me NOT to call the cops on you…” another user expressed.

Finesse2Tymes Gives Gift To Friend Who Took His Charges

However, many aimed to clarify the situation on social media and defend Finesse’s good will, as it could just be something to show the media and not the whole effort he’ll put into setting his friend up comfortably for his loyalty. “At least he came home to 5k n somebody helping him some people come home with nothing but papers,” one user expressed. Another wrote, “The man clearly said in the Video he had to go straight to the halfway house. When u go there it’s only so much u can have and take there.” While the rapper faced his fair share of altercations recently, it’s clear he wants to give back to his entourage.

Like the previous comment, many pointed out that this probably won’t be the end of 2Tymes’ gratitude. “I would HOPE he knows he gone be straight and taken care of IRL the shoes and cash was just for MEDIA IMAGE,” another user expressed. Sure, some are skeptical, but the only one who can assess the value of the rapper’s thankful actions is the friend in question. Regardless, check out our interview with Finesse2Tymes here and return to HNHH for the latest from the Memphis rapper.

Kodak Black Threatens Rolling Loud Crowd With His Belt After Someone Throws Water: Watch

by

Now that March is here, it feels as though spring is right around the corner. Along with the warmer weather comes a favourite time of year for many music lovers – festival season. Kicking things off earlier than most in 2023 is Rolling Loud California, headlined by Playboi Carti, Travis Scott, and Future, as well as special guest Lil Wayne. As is customary for this specific festival, there’s been no shortage of hilarious viral moments and headlines resulting from performer’s and patron’s antics.

One story that’s been overshadowing the excitement surrounding Rolling Loud is Travis Scott’s alleged involvement with an assault in the days before his set. According to reports, the father of two plans to turn himself in to the NYPD after his performance tonight (March 4). The Astroworld rapper may be lucky enough to still take the stage, but another name on the lineup, Tory Lanez, wasn’t so lucky.

Despite still being billed on the festival’s official website, the Canadian remains behind bars for shooting Megan Thee Stallion. Big Scarr, who passed away due to an overdose a few months ago, also remains on the poster. Aside from the inaccurate lineup, Friday was a strong start for festivalgoers, who watched acts like 2Rare, Tay Money, and Blueface perform. The evening’s biggest names were Tyga, DaBaby, Saweetie, and Soulja Boy, though the latter didn’t get as much love as he likely anticipated.

In videos circulating online, the “Pretty Boy Swag” hitmaker gives the crowd his all, pouring pure energy into old favourites and new arrivals. Unfortunately for him, many watching didn’t match up, instead looking rather bored while seemingly waiting for another performer to come out. Social media has been having a field day reacting to Soulja’s misfortune, but that’s not the only Rolling Loud moment that has their attention.

Kodak Goes Full Dad Mode

who threw that water @ me?😭😭 #fyp #kodakblack #rollingloud #viral

♬ original sound – 🥷🏾

During his set last night, Florida native Kodak Black obviously didn’t take kindly to someone in the audience throwing a water bottle his way. Though he continues to rap and entertain after the plastic hits him, an assistant soon brings out the rapper’s belt to him, and he immediately threatens the crowd. “Now who threw that water at me?!” he asks, holding the potential weapon in the air.

After not getting a clear answer, Yak’s DJ turns the music off so he can more clearly address his potential assailants. “Who threw that water at me?” he asks again before the camera catches him smiling and laughing. Check it out in the video above, and let us know which Rolling Loud California set you’re most excited to see in the comments.
