Kylie Jenner & Travis Scott Face Backlash For Kids’ Astroworld Birthday Party

by

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott recently celebrated their children’s birthdays, but faced some backlash as well. Moreover, the birthday parties for Stormi, 5, and Aire, 1, featured an inflatable blow-up head much like the iconography for Astroworld. Of course, Travis’s reimagining of the closed Six Flags Houston theme park spanned an album, merch, and a festival as well. However, given the tragedy that occurred at the festival’s last incarnation, many believe these decorations are in poor taste. Ten people lost their lives at Astroworld, and it continues to loom over the ex-couple.

Still, Kylie’s birthday posts for her children touched and charmed many. After all, people just learned Aire’s name recently, so there’s fresh baby fever at play. For Aire, she penned his first birthday message from his mother. “AIRE, she wrote. “my son, my moon, my stars. best year of my life with you. you complete us my angel. mommy loves you. happy 1st birthday. may God always bless you.” Meanwhile, she shared an equally sweet message for her firstborn, Stormi Webster. “i gave you the gift of life and life gave me the gift of you,” the makeup mogul expressed. “the most special girl. this little face. i will miss it as it keeps changing. 5 years of loving you and forever more to go. i will always be there for you storm girl.”

However, these birthday celebrations came under fire from people who still remember what happened at Astroworld. Moreover, Kylie shared some pictures and videos of their joint party, and users quickly noticed the inflatable Astroworld head. Of course, it’s not the first time this sort of backlash came against the couple for their branding. Stormi’s previous birthday celebrations also featured the inflatable, although Kylie disposed it four months after the tragedy. Furthermore, according to Page Six, this party was unicorn-themed, but the iconography is still hard to swallow.

Regardless, what did you think of Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott facing backlash for Astroworld decorations at their children’s birthday party? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, log back into HNHH for the latest news, gossip and next moves from Travis and Kylie.

DDG Vlogs Blueface & Chrisean Rock’s Wedding

by

Blueface and Chrisean Rock are one of pop culture’s most talked-about relationships, and DDG’s vlog showed them celebrating it. Moreover, the two got married in Los Angeles on Friday (January 27) and filmed a music video of the ceremony. While DDG is as focused as ever on his music, his YouTube chops are still sharp, too.

Furthermore, the Michigan native shared various clips of the occasion from a lot of different perspectives. The Blueface portion of the vlog starts around the 8:30 mark with a quick “hello” between him and DDG. Later, Chrisean Rock says hi and daps the vlogger up. As he keeps greeting the ceremony’s attendees, you can see the wardrobe and staging going into the music video production.

After some more behind-the-scenes conversations and snippets, the YouTube star gets dressed for the big occasion. Then, the crowd of friends mixes over with the production crew as they coincide shots with the ceremony. For a take of the big kiss between Rock and Blueface, the whole crowd cheered as their song “Dear Rock” played.

However, Blueface said that he still wouldn’t marry Chrisean Rock “for real.” When DDG asked him whether he would, he said “Hell nah.” Furthermore, he said that he doesn’t believe in marriage because it’s like a contract. Still, he means “marriage” in the legal sense, not in terms of being Chrisean’s rock.

Also, there’s a point where DDG talks to the “Thotiana” rapper about how he and Chrisean are the most popular couple right now. Moreover, they start talking about how every viral discussion is a chance to make some money moves. In fact, DDG said that if the couple made a joint YouTube channel, they could make $200K a month. “I’d do a porno for 200 a month,” Blueface joked.

Meanwhile, the couple previously talked about marriage mere days before they tied the knot for a video. From that conversation, their thoughts were almost like a prequel to this wedding music video.

““Do you see yourself getting married at some point,” Jason Lee asked Blueface, “and do you see yourself getting married with Chrisean?” Moreover, the rapper declined, which Chrisean disagreed with.

“Can you be quiet and just go along?” she expressed. “If I give him 3 billion dollars, he gon’ marry me.” Given what he said about the $200K, it makes that past remark even funnier.

Still, what did you think of DDG’s vlog of Blueface and Chrisean Rock’s wedding? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments and check the full vlog out down below. Also, as always, come back to HNHH for the latest pop culture gossip and crazy hip-hop weddings.

Travis Barker’s Daughter Alabama Goes Viral For New Video

by

Alabama Barker, daughter of pop-punk star Travis Barker, is going viral on social media for a new video shared to TikTok. While this might be the first time some hear of her, others remember when she was much younger. Still, her clip did cause some discussion online.

Moreover, a lot of the meat of the Twitter threads came down to the fact that she’s 17 years old. Though the video clip is just her dancing with her friends, a lot of people found it too suggestive. Regardless, one user tweeted “No one ever said Alabama Barker was ‘ugly.’” Furthermore, they added, “We said she’s only 17 and too young to dress & behave the way she does. Cause she is.”

Furthermore, some were struck by how people were misidentifying her race or debating about it on social media. Still, some people had the record straight. Overall, there were tweets like “You telling me alabama barker looks biracial and expect me to take you seriously.”

“I want black women to stop being a halfway house for yt teenage girls when they can’t figure themselves out yet,” another added. “Alabama Barker is a prime example. Her family whiter than ranch dressing. Stop it lol.”

However, this isn’t the only time that Alabama Barker’s been somewhat called out online (because this is just a video, after all). Moreover, Iggy Azalea said that she and other TikTokers were “weird” for participating in a viral trend of her experiences. Furthermore, audio of the rapper airing out her frustrations with her ex Playboi Carti made rounds on TikTok.

“This man didn’t even come to see his son be born, he went to Philly to play the Playstation with Lil Uzi,” she said. “He felt that was more important than seeing his son be born, and I had a scheduled C-section.”

Meanwhile, Alabama’s father Travis is most well-known these days for his drum renditions of popular tracks and his relationship with Kourtney Kardashian. While some people cringe at seeing fans write “Kravis” online, they said they actually like the nickname.

Still, what do you think of Travis Barker’s daughter Alabama going viral for her recent TikTok video? However you may feel, let us know in the comments and peep some more reactions below. Also, as always, check back in with HNHH for the latest viral moments and celebrity debates in pop culture.

Young Thug Looks Tired In Court Video

by

As Young Thug’s trial continues to develop, the Atlanta rapper already looks tired and done with court in a new video. While there’s been no shortage of notable moments or important decisions, Thugger rested his head on a table as if it was all passing him by with the same boredom. Moreover, the last court antic he experienced was an impromptu drug deal that left him stunned, according to his lawyers.

“It is patently clear from the images that there was no communication, solicitation or request from Mr. Williams prior to that,” they stated. “It is absolutely bewildering as to why the state would blatantly misrepresent the reason for the cessation of courtroom activities in its motion when it knew that assertion was inaccurate.”

Still, authorities searched co-defendant Kahlieff Adams after he tried to hand Thug a Percocet during a hearing. Moreover, they found more drugs like marijuana and additional pills. Since this isn’t the only time YSL co-defendants have tried to smuggle contraband, this case has everyone on edge. Many pray for YSL’s triumph, but some question their actions more stringently.

Regardless, Thug’s judge excused several jurors from trial after many requested an exit. The reasons vary; some cited financial hardship, while another sought dismissal because of surgery just weeks prior. At this moment, it’s hard to say how these excusals will affect Thug’s case. Even if these might be jurors that would’ve helped the 31-year-old, the case is too difficult to call.

Also, these new developments struck readers with a different context this time around after we learned of Thug’s come-up recently. Furthermore, T.I. explained why he didn’t give any money to him or to 21 Savage as they blew up.

“I find it honorable to be able to tell new artists, when they come up to me—you know. 21 Savage, [Young] Thug, a lot of ’em come up to me, ‘Ay man, just give me a million, Tip. Just give me a million. I don’t care what you do. Just give me a million and let me handle it from there.’”

“If I give you a million,” he continued, “I gotta take back some that’s gon’ be way more and we ain’t gon’ be able to be friends no more. And I always tell them, don’t worry about the money up front ’cause it gon’ come. I remember telling that to Slime, I remember telling that to 21. And even Savage, anytime he see me now, ‘Hey, it came.’ That put a smile on my face because I just know how impactful every generation has the opportunity to be. even more than the last.”

However, what do you think of Young Thug looking tired in court in a new video? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest updates in the YSL trial.

Kylie Jenner Clarified How To Pronounce Her And Travis Scott’s Son’s Name

Whether Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott have broken up again is anybody’s guess (and nobody’s business), but they do share two children: four-year-old Stormi and a nearly one-year-old son. Jenner initially announced his name was Wolf Webster shortly after his birth but later changed it. His new name had been kept private until Jenner posted to Instagram over the weekend.

Jenner’s Instagram carousel featured the first public photos of her son’s face along with the caption “AIRE [white heart emoji].”

The internet reaction was fast and vast, predictably. One fan account asked, “Do you think it’s pronounced air or airey?” Jenner commented, “AIR [heart emoji].”

Jenner’s post has been liked nearly 21.6 million likes (and counting) as of this morning, January 23. The comments section was just as crowded. Kris Jenner wrote, “I love you Aire Webster [heart emoji],” while Hailey Bieber seemingly couldn’t handle it: “[crying emojis] Aire angel.” Other commenters included Rosalía, SZA, Khloe Kardashian (“The king!!! Young king!!!!!”), and former Uproxx cover star Chloe Bailey.

Since then, Jenner has continued to break the internet with posts from Paris Haute Couture Week. This morning, Jenner attended Schiaparelli’s runway show with a faux lion’s head as her accessory. She sat beside Doja Cat, who showed up covered in 30,000 Swarovski crystals.

Kai Cenat’s Reaction To Lil Baby’s Verse On New Trippie Redd Album Goes Viral

by

Twitch streamer Kai Cenat went viral recently for his hilarious reaction to Lil Baby’s verse on Trippie Redd’s new album, MANSION MUSIK. While Cenat’s popularity and charisma is undoubtable, many took a particular liking to his reaction this time around. Furthermore, the streamer reacted to the track “FULLY LOADED” with Trippie Redd, Lil Baby, and Future.

Moreover, clips surfaced online on Saturday (January 21) that see YouTube’s “Streamer Of The Year” struggling with Baby’s verse. Also you can see that Kai focused on the lyrics on this track, and tried his best to react accordingly.

However, he found the verse to be… strange, at the very least. Before diving in, here are some of the lyrics in question. “I’m just tryna vibe here, go to night when that shroom hit / Why you tellin’ lies? You know that you a b***h / hmm, hmm, she want another piece / Ooh, ooh, she want another piece.”

“What the f**k, bro?” he expressed after pausing the track. “You know my expectations is here,” holding his hand above his head. “Did you just moan in the mic?” Moreover, Cenat wore a pretty confused expression all throughout. In fact, he even recoils comically at certain points. However, there is a point where he sits upright, waiting for some greatness, but it seems he didn’t feel the track. Of course, the It’s Only Me rapper is one of the top dogs right now, so there’s likely more greatness to come.

Still, the streamer and Baby linked up in the past, so his comments most likely didn’t come from a malicious place.

“Kai face look like he tryna translate the word Lil Baby Saying,” one viewer commented. Another tweeted “Bro Kai is funny Af I been saying that about Lil Baby Since ‘Hey.’” Even with their relationship in mind, reactions ran rampant. “That verse trash @lilbaby4PF. He know he could’ve done better. I rock wit him too!!” a Twitter user wrote.

Still, what did you think of Kai Cenat’s reaction to Lil Baby’s verse on Trippie Redd’s MANSION MUSIK? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments and check out more reactions down below. Also, as always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest viral pop culture moments.

Kylie Jenner Finally Revealed The Name Of Her And Travis Scott’s Son

by

Kylie Jenner has finally revealed the name of her and Travis Scott‘s son. Today (January 21) the reality star and makeup mogul took to Instagram to share an adorable set of photos of her and her son. The photo was captioned “AIRE” with a white heart emoji. While it was rather cryptic, Kylie’s mom, Kris Jenner commented on the post saying, “I love you Aire Webster,” confirming the baby’s name.

Aire was born last February, and Kylie and Scott had previously shared that their son’s name was Wolf Jacques Webster. However, shortly after revealing the name, Kylie took to her Instagram story to reveal that their son’s name was no longer Wolf.

“We just really didn’t feel like it was him.” Jenner said. “Just wanted to share because I keep seeing Wolf everywhere.”

Earlier this month, Kylie and Scott reportedly broke up, however, they are still said to be co-parenting Aire and their first-born daughter, Stormi.

“Kylie and Travis are off again, they were supposed to spend the holidays together, but she went to Aspen to be with her family and friends up there,” said the source close to the Kardashians. “This has happened so many times before, they’re known to be on again off again, but always remain friends and great coparents.”

Leslie Jones Went Off On Stephen A. Smith For Slandering Rihanna: ‘You Need To Act Like Your Hairline And Back The F**k Off’

by

On Monday, Stephen A. Smith probably thought the lowest point in his career was having to publicly clarify that he has never had his ass eaten after insinuating as much while appearing on Jake Paul’s sports show (though most people would have stopped short of “appearing on Jake Paul’s sports show”). But that was before the fiery ESPN host messed with the Rihanna Navy — with Leslie Jones as their leader.

Jones guest-hosted Thursday’s episode of The Daily Show, where she called out Smith for his rather unenthusiastic response to the news that Rihanna will play this year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show. While appearing as a guest on Sherri, host Sherri Shepherd asked Smith whether he was excited that Riri would be performing at this year’s Super Bowl. His response was… disappointing.

“I don’t want to say I’m not excited. She’s fantastic,” Smith explained… then unfortunately added: “There’s one thing she’s not: She ain’t Beyoncé.”

Jones was NOT having it:

DUDE! NO! Why would you do this to yourself? You know what, Stephen A. Smith? You need to act like your hairline and back the f*** off!

Now, the good news is that he did apologize. The bad news is his apology.

Smith posted a video, which seemed to be shot in the back of an empty party bus, where he addressed Rihanna directly to let her know that she’s a “superstar” and “sensational.” Then came his sign-off: “Good luck, sweetie. Looking forward to see you perform.”

That’s when Jones lost it again: “Oh how DARE you call Rihanna ‘sweetie’! You calling her ‘sweetie’ like you know her. She don’t know you. But you know who she does know? Beyoncé!”

Logan Paul Apologizes For CryptoZoo Failure, Plans To Give Out Refunds

by

In 2021, Logan Paul officially launched his NFT-game, CryptoZoo. It’s “an autonomous ecosystem that allows ZooKeepers to buy, sell, and trade exotic animals and hybrids. CryptoZoo incorporates cryptocurrency and Non Fungible Tokens (NFTs) into a simple, fun game with familiar mechanics.” Of course, this is according to a since-deleted description on its official site.

Paul is responsible for selling images of animal NFTs within the game. He’s also responsible for subsequently telling players that they’d be able to hatch them and breed the animals. In doing so, they’d be able to win coins in a cryptocurrency called $ZOO.

However, later in 2021, YouTuber Coffeezilla put out a docu-series on his channel as an attempt to expose the game as non-functional. After making millions through the sales of NFTs within CryptoZoo, it seemed as though the podcaster had abandoned the project completely. This is because he seemed to have stopped mentioning it. As a result, many were left to believe it was a scam.

After facing public criticism for CryptoZoo ever since, the new WWE wrestler is finally addressing the situation. He does so in a video posted to his Twitter account on Friday (January 13). He begins by denouncing his attitude towards Coffeezilla’s accusations and denies scamming anyone through the game.

“That’s what I’d do if I was him; milk the sh*t out of this. He’s probably going to, he’s good, he’s very good. The more he says and the more he continues to spread this misinformation that this was any sort of con or scam, the more I have for the lawsuit that I am filing,” he initially said in response on an episode of his podcast, Impaulsive.

In his new update, however, he goes on to detail his plans to give back $1.3 million in rewards. This will go to players who ultimately feel disappointment in the game. “Step 1, Jeff and I are going to burn our ZooTokens, so we have no financial upside in the game and it will add value to holder tokens. Step 2, we want to offer a rewards program for players who are disappointed in the status of the game, so essentially, you’re gonna be able to burn your base egg or your base animal for the mint price, which was 0.1ETH or the equivalent in BNB,” says the 27-year-old.

“I am personally committing 1,000 ETH to this, which is about $1.3 million right now, for players who want to get out. Step 3, obviously finish and deliver the game, as outlined in the white paper by completing the egg bridge from ETH to BSC for base animals and base eggs, completing the marketplace and obviously, completing the release your animals into the wild, to accrue your yield function,” he continues afterwards.

Paul says there is currently an internal investigation going on. He plans to pursue legal action against “whomever needs to be held accountable.” It will certainly be interesting to hear the findings.

TikTok Has Vaulted A 12-Year-Old Miguel Song Back Onto The ‘Billboard’ Charts

by
Miguel May 2022

Miguel owned Billboard‘s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart from 2011 to 2012. “Sure Thing” became his first-ever No. 1 on the chart in May 2011, and he hit No. 1 again as the featured artist on Wale’s “Lotus Flower Bomb” that December and with his own hit “Adorn” the following year. SZA’s “Kill Bill” currently reigns atop the chart, but Miguel has accomplished a surprising re-entry.

According to Billboard on Thursday, January 12, Miguel’s “Sure Thing” sits at No. 20 on this week’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart with 8.4 million official US streams netted in the week ending January 5, with credit given specifically to TikTok.

TikTok had the same charting impact for The Weeknd’s “Die For You” on this week’s Hot 100 chart, cracking the top 10 for the first time despite releasing six years ago. A similarly delayed revelation is happening with Lady Gaga’s “Bloody Mary,” landing at No. 68 this week.

Per Billboard, “Sure Thing” is also re-emerging on other charts — leaping from No. 143 to No. 69 on the Billboard Global 200 (21.2 million global streams) and debuting at No. 134 on the Billboard Global Excl. US chart.

It’s possible that Miguel will soon have new material eligible to populate the charts, as he teased a snippet of a new song in mid-November.
