If your several plays of Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You” have worn out your stereo, a Houston homeowner has come up with a creative way to crunk up the holidays. A man by the name of Frank To-ong, better known as H-Town Frankie is returning with his perfectly synced Christmas lights for the ninth year in a row.

While it’s not unusual for homeowners to sync their Christmas lights to traditional holiday carols, Frankie likes to sync his lights to blink and display to some big bangers.

In one TikTok clip, some of Frankie’s lights are seen blinking to Lil Jon & The Eastside Boyz’s “Get Low,” with the lyrics on display on the closed garage door.

Another clip sees the lights putting on a show to one of this year’s biggest hits, “Titi Me Pregunto” by Bad Bunny.

It appears that Frankie likes to get in the Christmas spirit beginning in November. In one clip, the lights are seen dancing to the viral trap remix of Shirley Caesar’s “Beans, Greens, Tomatoes,” song which recirculates every Thanksgiving season.

Thanksgiving week … Queue the Anthem! I fry turkeys. What’s your go to dish? #htown_frankie #christmas2022 #fyp

In an interview with Secret Houston, Frankie expressed pride in his hometown, as well as the lights’ global impact.

“When people know that the creator of this content is from Houston, that makes me proud,” said Frankie. “That is the coolest thing ever. This is my town. This is my city.”

Meghan Markle Was Absolutely Floored To Receive A Touching Beyoncé Text In A New Documentary Clip

Despite Beyoncé’s status as one of the most important women in the music industry, she’s known to be quite a down-to-earth, caring friend. After she collaborated with Madonna for a “Break My Soul” remix, the Renaissance performer sent the iconic singer a thoughtful thank-you note.

In the new documentary Harry & Meghan: Becoming Royal, a scene spotlights Beyoncé’s kindness. The clip has been circulating Twitter, and it depicts Meghan Markle discussing her communication with the “Love On Top” singer.

“Beyoncé just texted,” she says, prompting Prince Harry to gasp. Markle says Beyoncé is “just checking in,” which bewilders Harry. “I still can’t believe she knows who I am,” she says. She explains, “She said she wants me to feel safe and protected. She admires and respects my bravery and vulnerability and thinks I was selected to break generational curses that need to be healed.” After a pause of absorbing such an insightful message, Harry says, “That’s well-said.”

One reply to the video reads: “ACTUAL ROYALTY was literally shocked that Beyoncé texted, that is power.” Another read: “‘she knows who i am’ girl bye you’re a whole princess [crying emojis].” Other replies admire the eloquence with which Beyonce shared her feelings and thoughts with Markle.

Florida Police Use Lil Wayne’s ‘A Milli’ In A Cringeworthy TikTok Video For A $1.1 Million Drug Bust

Who knew that police officer could double as influencers? Apparently, they can. In a recent video shared to TikTok, a Florida Police department used Lil Wayne’s “A Milli” to soundtrack a recent drug seizure.

In the video, the Lee County Sheriff’s Office announced its narcotics detectives were able to seize nearly $1.1 million “in illegal drug money off the street” before dancing and singing along to the 2008 smash hit.

“Christmas is canceled for these two drug dealers, and the streets are cleared of drugs, guns, and a milli,” said Lee County Sheriff Carmine Marceno. The video then cuts to a cringy montage where authorities count all the dirty money they had collected from the raid.

The critically acclaimed track won a Grammy for Best Rap Solo Performance in 2009 and peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Wayne has become a commercial juggernaut throughout his almost three-decade career. This past September, along with celebrating his 4oth birthday, the New Orleans rapper earned 22 new RIAA certifications, including one for “A Milli,” “6 Foot 7 Foot,” “Love Me,” featuring Drake and Future, and more.

His protégé, Drake, has also earned some new RIAA certifications. Most recently, the Canadian rapper became the highest-selling singles artist in RIAA history, surpassing Eminem.

Lil Fizz’s Butt Causes Him To Go Viral After Nude Video Leaks

They say all publicity is good publicity, right? Hopefully this is true for Lil Fizz, who is now trending online for an unexpected reason.

The former B2K member is all over the internet after the world was witness to a nude video of him leaking. The footage is explicitly making its rounds all over social media.

The X-rated video allegedly comes from his OnlyFans account. After being accessed by the wrong people, it’s now undeniably one of the hottest topics on Twitter.

“Do NOT check why Lil Fizz is trending smh,” one user subsequently wrote after investigating the salacious trend for themselves.

“Lil Fizz took ‘Bump, Bump, Bump’ to heart I see,” another user tweeted along with some emojis crying with laughter. This reference comes from the title of B2K’s 2002 hit with Diddy.

“Baby, turn around and let me see that sexy body go / Bump, bump, bump,” the group sings on the hook.

“In 2022 I done seen (against my will) Lil Fizz wee wee and bootyhole…” another Twitter user chimed in.

Surprisingly, this isn’t the first time the youngest member of the R&B group has been the victim of an intimate leak. A nude video of his genitalia allegedly made its way online in February.

In other news this year, the former Love & Hip-Hop: Hollywood star has continued his long-time beef with fellow singer Omarion.

The former bandmates have a long history of sending shots at each other. In September, Fizz sat down for an interview with Drink Champs. This is when he began chiming in on why he thinks the “Post to Be” singer left the group back in the day.

The 37-year-old alleges that the reason for the MMG singer going solo was because he hooked up with a girl he liked.

Additionally, this wasn’t the first time the two singers were involved with the same woman during their time working together. In the early 2000s, Fizz began dating Apryl Jones, who’s the mother of Omarion’s child.

As a result, the off-and-on beef was consequently ignited. It’s evidently still going on to this day.

Although this isn’t Fizz’s first scandal, he certainly has some questions to answer. Nonetheless, check out some more reactions to the leak on social media below.

Beyoncé & Blue Ivy Look Like Twins In Throwback Snapshot

by

Beyoncé has made a tradition of wishing her fellow celebrities a happy birthday by sharing their childhood photos on social media. In the past, stars like Lizzo have been left amazed by celebratory greetings from the Lemonade hitmaker. Somehow, she surprisingly seems to mysteriously conjure up the snapshots out of thin air.

It’s not her birthday, but now Queen B is going viral for some throwback pictures of her own. Earlier this week a 1990s capture that finds the mother of three getting her hair braided began circulating. The main topic of conversation surrounding the image is how the vocalist’s oldest daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, undeniably resembles her.

“Nah that’s Blue Ivy with a ’90s filter,” one person joked.

Additionally, others quickly noticed that the hairdresser resembles another famous face who has close ties to Beyoncé – Chloe Bailey. Though there’s an obvious age difference between the two, it’s hard to argue with the undeniably similar features they share.

“Blue Ivy getting her hair braided by Chloe Bailey in Houston, Texas (2022),” one Twitter user wrote, mimicking the original caption. Another asked, “This isn’t Chloe Bailey doing Blue Ivy’s hair?”

The comments may be comparing her to her mother now, but in the past, the 10-year-old has made headlines for her resemblance to her father, Jay-Z, as well.

In January, the young fashionista made waves with the rap mogul at a Rams Game. At the time, Hov was in full dad mode as he took photos of his daughter and Rihanna.

The very next month, the pair hit up the Super Bowl together, with Jay-Z acting as cameraman once again. Read more about that here, and check back in with HNHH later for more pop culture news updates.

Yung Miami Says She Won’t Do A ‘Period Ahh, Period Uhh’ Remix: ‘I Hate That Trend’

Yung Miami won’t be joining Baby Tate, Bebe Rexha, Chlöe, or Lil Nas X in hopping on the latest TikTok trend. When asked on Twitter to jump on the “Period Ahh Period Uhh” wave, the City Girls star made her position clear: “No!!!!! I hate that trend & don’t think it’s funny either.”

TikTok user Britt Barbie started the madness in late August with a video recap of her recent “Five Below haul,” including a plastic bridge for her gecko, mechanical pencils, and a wooden stick massager. She punctuated her description of each miscellaneous item with an empathic “period ahh.” That blossomed into a longer “Period Ahh Period Uhh” clip, which Britt posted on September 10.

Yung Miami is generating plenty of viral moments by herself, anyway. She launched her Revolt talk show Caresha Please this summer. So far, she has already playfully flirted with Megan Thee Stallion, received dating advice from Gucci Mane, and put the full-court press on Saweetie. The show was recently nominated for Best Hip-Hop Platform at the 2022 BET Hip-Hop Awards scheduled for October 4.

Miami’s “Period Ahh” shutdown arguably isn’t her most interesting tweet from the last 48 hours. Amid a tweetstorm about Sunday’s (September 18) afternoon NFL slate, she responded to a since-deleted tweet, “B*tch I don’t even rap no more! Eat this P*ssy hoe I retired!” Then, she and JT were revealed as Pop Sugar’s newest cover stars yesterday (September 19). Total retirement is clearly not on the table, as the City Girls are currently opening on Jack Harlow’s North American tour in support of Come Home The Kids Miss You.

Lil Nas X Nods To The Viral ‘Period Ahh, Period Uhh’ TikTok Challenge With A Wild NSFW Comparison

About a month ago, TikTok user Britt Barbie shared a video detailing all the things she had gotten at a trip to Five Below, ending each description by saying, “period, ahh!” The clip proved to be extremely popular, so much so that Barbie capitalized and released a new song called “Period Ahh Period Uhh” a few days ago.

The song has actually taken off as a TikTok challenge, as Baby Tate, Chlöe, and Bebe Rexha have all since added their own unofficial verses to the track. Now, Lil Nas X has chimed in, too, not with his own verse, but with a Twitter joke, as he tends to do. This afternoon, he tweeted, “wow so y’all gone support the period ahh period uh girl but won’t support me suckin dick behind mcdonald’s on 12th street at 3:14am in a trench coat while glorilla plays in the background? oh ok.”

This comes shortly after Nas’ debut album Montero celebrated its one-year anniversary on September 17. He marked the occasion on Twitter by asking his fans, “BABY MONTERO turns 1 year old today! what’s y’all top 3?!!!” The joke here was that he made it so only people he mentioned in the tweet could reply to it (he mentioned nobody).
