Chris Brown Shares Telling Message After Selena Gomez VMAs Drama

by

Let’s be real, what’s an award show without at least a little bit of drama? After a busy NYFW, countless artists and socialites recently made their way to the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards. Nicki Minaj was notably on hosting duty for the evening. She also debuted a new song from her upcoming Pink Friday 2 album that still has the Barbz talking. Another moment pop culture fanatics are still discussing is Selena Gomez’s apparent reaction to hearing Chris Brown’s name called during the event.

The Wizards of Waverly Place actress looked unimpressed, to say the least, in a circulating video of her face when Breezy’s name was read off on the list of nominees for Best R&B Artist. As HipHopDX reports, Gomez initially tweeted, “Who cares, lol,” when the moment first went viral. Since then, she’s also declared on her Instagram Story that she’ll “never be a meme again.”

Chris Brown isn’t Phased by What Went Down at the 2023 VMAs

It’s taken a few days for Brown to chime in on the situation. However, his own IG Story lit up with a telling message ahead of the weekend. “I’M THE GOAT and you know it 😏❤,” the father of three wrote over a black screen. He’s not bothered by the situation, no matter how much trolls want to see a feud break out. Even if the singer’s post wasn’t about Gomez directly, at least we know that his confidence is sky-high stepping into R&B season.

Try as she might to stay out of trouble at the VMAs, Selena Gomez unfortunately still landed at the centre of controversy. Regardless of how people feel about her lack of a poker face, the Disney Channel alum is focusing her energy on making new music and growing her Rare Beauty brand.

GloRilla Makes Fun Of Her Memphis Accent After VMAs Clip Goes Viral

by

GloRilla is known for her sense of humor and doesn’t hesitate to embrace jokes, even if they’re directed at herself. During her appearance at the VMAs on September 12, where she presented Metro Boomin as a performer, social media users couldn’t help but take note of her distinct and thick Memphis accent as she read from the teleprompter. “What’s up New Jersey, how y’all feeling tonight?” GloRilla began. “Now I can’t walk in heels so y’all gotta bare with me now. This next performance comes from one of the biggest hip-hop producers in music today.” “A diamond certified superstar who’s not only nominated for four VMAs, but has also had multiple number one albums and 42 Billboard Hot 100 hits, featuring Future, Swae Lee, A Boogie With Da Hoodie, and NAV … give it up for Metro!” she continued.

While her introduction was high-energy and perfectly read, fans pointed out her pronunciation of “music,” and “Future.” The up-and-coming rapper has a distinctive Memphis accent that’s hard to ignore. It’s part of what makes her music so unique, and her voice and delivery so distinct. For instance, when she pronounces the word “music,” she elongates the first syllable into “myoo.” Additionally, she inserts an “r” sound in the middle, resulting in a pronunciation that sounds like “myursic.”

“Dey said dem R’s was kicking my ass,” GloRilla jokingly responded to the commentary after noticing the clip going viral. However, GloRilla is proud of her accent, and is even more proud of being from the city of Memphis. In numerous interviews, GloRilla has spoken about her love for the city. “Memphis is top tier when it comes to music,” the rapper said in an interview with Complex. “I’m so glad [that] the last couple years we’ve been getting the notoriety, because Memphis is known for music too.”

In the past year, GloRilla experienced a significant breakthrough in her career. Her track “F.N.F (Let’s Go)” went viral, propelling her to a new level of stardom. Being noticed by Yo Gotti and securing a label deal with CMG has helped escalate her further into success. In less than a year, GloRilla has seen numerous achievements. Her debut EP titled Anyways, Life’s Great debuted at No. 11 on the Billboard 200 album chart. She also secured a BET Award, a Grammy nomination, and a notable endorsement from Cardi B which resulted in collaborating on the song “Tomorrow 2.”

Yung Miami Claps Back At Haters

Kodak Black Spotted Cozying Up To Mystery Woman In New York City & At The VMAs

by

Kodak Black’s a busy man; not only does he have a star-making career to nurture, but he often makes headlines for being out and about. However, for the first time in seemingly a while, it seems like he’s found someone to accompany him on his travels and trajectory. Moreover, the Florida rapper was recently in New York City for the MTV VMAs, and people couldn’t help but notice that he was with someone else for most of it. Whether it was in the streets or at the awards show, Yak kept a mystery woman close, who appears to be his new partner.

Furthermore, it’s unclear as of writing this article whether Internet sleuths already cracked the code on who this woman is. Regardless, it seems like they had a great time together, as cameras caught them vibing out at the VMAs. In addition, Kodak Black and his girl posed for some pics in matching brown, beige, and pink fits while they went around the Big Apple. While the “Shaka Laka” MC isn’t always in couple gossip, it seems like this might be the start of a wholesome new chapter in his romantic life.

Kodak Black & His New Flame

Of course, that mere fact won’t shy many of his haters away, especially given his aforementioned 6ix9ine collab. For example, Math Hoffa recently called Kodak Black out for the team-up, labeling it a money-hungry move. “Integrity for sale,” Hoffa stated during an interview with VladTV. “You put this image out there, and your art is a representation of you. I kinda agree with Boosie on this. You sold your a** for a million dollars.

“Like, somebody could come to you with a price and probably have some fun with you in a dark room,” he continued. “You know what I mean? It’s f***ed up. But if you stand for something, you stand on it. I don’t give a f**k what type of money is offered. You stand on it.” Still, this is probably far back in Yak’s mind; he probably has more important people to worry about in his life now. On that note, keep checking in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Kodak Black.

Yung Miami Talks Reality Show And Podcast During VMA Interview

by

The VMAs took place last night and plenty of celebrities were in attendance. That meant that reporters were able to catch up with some of the biggest stars in music. That’s exactly what Billboard did with Yung Miami when they got the chance to ask her about a number of topics. “It means everything… to be a girl from the hood out here just enjoying the VMAs,” she begins the interview before being asked a series of more specific questions.

When the interviewer asks Yung Miami what she has next after a big 2023 so far, she answers right away. “I got a reality show coming out, the City Girls dropping an album, I got a new podcast.” Clearly, people looking for more Miami won’t have to look far as she’s got a lot on the way. When she’s asked if she ever imagined being in this position, it nearly brings her to tears. She talks about crying the morning of the show and expresses how thankful she is to be in this position. Check out the full interview below.

Yung Miami Has A LOT Coming Soon

Despite the reveals, the biggest storyline for Yung Miami following the VMAs was something else entirely. The very revealing outfit choice she made left her vulnerable to a good bit of pregnancy speculation. Those rumors increased exponentially when Miami herself retweeted one of the posts identifying her reported baby bump. While her reasons for retweeting the post are unclear most fans think she was merely feeding fan speculation as a joke.

City Girls have released 4 new songs this year. The first was “Act Bad” with Diddy and Fabolous. The track became somewhat of a summer anthem racking up over 4 million streams since its release. The most recent was the sexually charged banger “Face Down,” which dropped last month. What do you think of Yung Miami’s interview with Billboard at the VMAs? Let us know in the comment section below.

by

Diddy reflected on the origin of his “Diddy Bop” dance move while accepting the Global Icon Award at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards in Newark, New Jersey on Tuesday night. In doing so, he discussed his original dreams of making it to the NFL and how that failure resulted in the dance move.

“This is a dream come true for me,” he said on stage alongside Mary J. Blige, his son King Combs and three daughters. “I grew up watching MTV like, ‘Man, I wish one day I could be up there.’ I didn’t know I was gon’ be here, I started out as a paper boy at 12 and then I was gon’ be an NFL football player for the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t know this, but I planned on being a football player and my leg got broke the last year.”

“I got depressed and I would be in the clubs dancing in New York doing my ‘Diddy Bop,’ and then people would see me and they would cast me for videos,” he continued. “That’s how I fell in love with the music industry. I saw the executives and I wanted to chase that dream. So I wanna thank every executive, every producer, every songwriter. I gotta thank the Bad Boy family ’cause without them I would not be up here. I love y’all from the bottom of my heart.” Check out Diddy’s full acceptance speech below.

NLE Choppa’s “Full Circle Moment” With Nelly At The VMAs Draws Offset Comparisons

by

The VMAs were last night and music industry stars showed out from start to finish. They were so packed with big names that some even made appearances in the pre-show. One of those performances was a perfect pairing between NLE Choppa and Nelly. They teamed up to perform a medley of Nelly’s classic hit “It’s Getting Hot” and the NLE Choppa song that interpolates it “Hot In Herre.” The two performers blended together perfectly treating fans to a hyped-up performance. On the pink carpet, Choppa explained how the collab came about. “It just simply came about by reaching out to him and just asking. And this was one of the moments he was waiting for — to have with me and we did and we shared the stage and we graced it.”

One of the things that stood out to fans online was that NLE Choppa was performing choreography on stage. While choreo has been creeping into hip-hop in recent years it is almost exclusively reserved for female rappers. Fans watching Choppa unveil some pre-planned dance moves reminded of another rapper who recently dipped his toes into choreography, Offset. After a tweet of Choppa’s dancing made the rounds, one quote tweet in particular made the comparison. “Offset got the girls shook!” it said. Check out the entire interaction below.

Did Offset Inspire NLE Choppa To Learn Choreo?

NLE Choppa has lofty ambitions for himself as an artist. Last month when it was pointed out that hip-hop had gone a full year without a song reaching the number one spot on the charts, he reacted. He claimed that he would be the one to break the trend, but ultimately that didn’t happen. Subsequently, Doja Cat’s single “Paint The Town Red” jumped up to a new peak at the number one spot this week.

If Choppa was going to get a number one it could be his newest single “College Girls.” The track is a party anthem claiming that college girls have more fun. What do you think of NLE Choppa performing choreography at the VMAs? Let us know in the comment section below.
