The latest green flame “BLOCK RUNNER” from multi-platinum performer, businessman, and philanthropist YG’s The Flame footwear is now available. It has a white upper and a red stripe running through the heel. The sole is available only online at 4Hunnid.com and contains the 4HUNNID emblem located on each installment with red and white flame detail.
“Please do not look like a bum, walk like a bum, or talk like a bum while wearing these. If you’re somebody who hasn’t had pleasure in a long time, put these shoes on and step out. I promise you by the end of the night, pleasure will be served.”
– YG
The “BLOCK RUNNER” launched 4Hunnid’s The Flame line extension into footwear in March 2021 with an inverted colorway pattern. It was sold out online within the first seven minutes of going on sale. In a nod to YG’s hometown NBA teams, the brand most recently released sneakers inspired by the Lakers and Clippers. Being from LA, YG wanted to create a sneaker that reflected the West Coast aesthetic. The low-cut shoe has an upper made of 100 percent real leather and a flame-shaped emblem that is attached to the side panels of a bespoke sole. The same Compton culture, everyday values, and way of life that inform YG’s music also greatly affect the 4Hunnid brand.
The rumor mill is buzzing with speculation that rappers YG and Saweetie might be more than just friends. The two were recently spotted at the same restaurant in LA, sparking even more rumors of a possible romance between them. Rapper YG and Saweetie have been fueling dating rumors lately after they were spotted at the […]
There were plenty of noteworthy moments to come from Coachella weekend one, and even more are sure to follow in the coming days with the festival’s second and final round. While much of the focus was on the performers – namely headlining acts Bad Bunny, BLACKPINK, and Frank Ocean – the celebrities in attendance also caused a stir. Not only did Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet make headlines for failing to officially debut as a couple, but now, YG and Saweetie are also sparking dating rumours.
The two California natives have actually been connected for some time, though they’ve managed to keep their situation lowkey. Saweetie was at YG’s birthday party in March, which is when gossip first began to fly, though no official confirmation came with it. According to @thejasminebrand, they spent their time at Coachella cozying up together, though no photographic evidence has surfaced online quite yet. Seeing as the pair have previously collaborated with Tyga on “Money Mouf” and Mozzy on “In My Face,” it’s not surprising to see them link up romantically.

What is a bit shocking, however, are the rumours that YG gives his Icy Girl a “blank check” every month so she can spend to her heart’s desire. “He apparently has a black card with a ridiculously high credit limit,” AllHipHop alleges. “She’s not there for his money, supposedly,” the outlet added, which makes sense seeing as Saweetie’s got plenty of her own racks.
Prior to this new rumoured romance, Saweetie was briefly linked to both Lil Baby and Damson Idris, though nothing serious ever transpired. Her last long-term high-profile relationship was with Quavo, and many hip-hop heads were sad to see them part ways. As for YG, he and Kehlani spent some time together a few years back, and he also dated Keke Palmer from 2014 to 2015. Revisit one of the alleged couple’s collaborative tracks below, and check back later for more hip-hop news updates.
Revisit the Rumored Couple’s “Money Mouf” Collab with Tyga
YG celebrated his birthday on Wednesday night at Melrose Place with a star-studded party that was preceded by a private dinner. The night’s dress code was all-red upscale, which YG and celebrities alike turned into a chic occasion. Partygoers relished a night of terrific music provided by DJ Vision, beverages, and the opulent ambiance of one of LA’s most famous locations.
In attendance to celebrate the star were YG’s family and friends including some of the hottest names in the industry like Offset, Travis Scott, Saweetie, BIA, A$AP Ferg, Tyga, Justin Combs, Christian Combs, Nardo Wick, Mustard, Mario, Lenny S, Todd Gurly III, Kris D. Lofton, and Quincy Chad.
Celebrities from all over pop culture attended YG’s 33rd birthday bash in West Hollywood on Wednesday (March 8). While his actual birthday is on Thursday (March 9), that’s no reason not to celebrate a little bit more. Moreover, he invited distinguished guests such as Tyga, Mustard, Travis Scott, Ty Dolla $ign, Saweetie, Offset, and A$AP Ferg. Other famous names in attendance were Diddy’s sons Christian and Justin Combs, BIA, Nardo Wick, Power actor Kris D. Lofton, Snowfall‘s Quincy Chad, Lenny S., Pusharod, and former NFL player Todd Gurley II. Of course, some names here aren’t very surprising, given that the now 33-year-old recently teased a collab album with Tyga.
However, it was still quite the grand and classically YG-style event. For example, everything was red: people’s outfits, the lights, the decorations, you name it. Some exceptions came here and there, but it was mostly very much themed around the birthday boy. Also, he seemed to have an absolute blast, as Tyga filmed him dancing to Snoop Dogg and Tha Eastsidaz’s classic hit “I Luv It.” It’s a West Coast sound the 4Hunnid CEO continues to cultivate through tracks and features like “Charles Barkley.”
What’s more is that the Compton MC also wants to share some of those good times with fans. Furthermore, he offered fans the chance to have dinner with him for $1,000 before his concerts. In addition, he detailed a five-star three-course meal, gentleman’s club waitresses, open bar, and the chance to take a picture with the “BIG BANK” rapper. ““I said I would never come back to the observatory but here I am,” he captioned a concert flyer on Instagram. “BDAY VIBES LIVE CONCERT put that s**t on & come F**k with me. UPSCALE EVENT!”
Meanwhile, YG recently squashed his beef with Kamaiyah, who fought previously over label issues. However, they put things to rest during his tour stop in Oakland, which is the latter’s home city. “I swear to God, I don’t know what they know, I don’t know what they heard about — on the blogs they read, I don’t know nothing,” YG said. “But I love you. Come give me a hug.” Kamaiyah went in for the hug and replied, “I love you too. From the Bay to L.A., goddamn it!” As always, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on the Cali MC. Happy birthday and stay brazy, YG!
This year’s festival was everything a hip-hop fan can ask for with a banging celebrity line-up that surprised the audience even more than they could have anticipated. SOHH, here are the best surprises at Rolling Loud California 2023. Lil Wayne’s Young Money Reunion Weezy kicked off one of the first stops of his alleged last […]
Last night at Rolling Loud, Tyga performed his set — and brought along a special guest in the form of YG.
While performing their 2019 collaboration, “Go Loko,” YG did a truly iconic dance, revaling that he’s multi-talented when it comes to moves. The duo also teased that they have what seems to be a full collaborative record on the way, as it was teased on stage.
“You know what I’m saying?” Tyga says in the video. “We only came up with one song, but now we about to drop the new album coming soon.”
When “Go Loko” was first released, Tyga revealed that they had been inspired by Mexico’s impact on culture…which hasn’t fully aged well. “Growing up in L.A., it’s a really big culture here,” he told the Recording Academy. “Even YG could tell you, he grew up around all Mexicans, so we really wanted to do something to give back to the culture.”
In addition, Tyga appeared on YG’s album last year, as a feature on “Run.”
“Me and Tyga were in the studio just trying to plot like, ‘What should we do for the video?’ There’s only so much you can do with that type of song. We ain’t wanna do like a flashy rap video, driving around in the cars. I got plenty of them,” YG revealed to Billboard.
Check out the videos of Tyga and YG’s performance (and album teaser) above.

Will has his eyes set on a getting a division one college basketball project while Carlton looks to make an impact in the Black Student Union and take a step forward in his battle with anxiety. Hilary and Jazz made things official in the season two premiere, but they aren’t exactly on the same page — something they hope to fix this week.
