Fans on Twitter have found themselves flabbergasted by a news item that is currently spreading like wildfire revolving around influencer turned rapper Blac Chyna. Chyna is being accused of holding a woman hostage in a hotel room during a wild, “drug-fueled” party, and people aren’t sure what to think. While it isn’t the first time Blac Chyna has gone viral for unusual behavior, the situation is much different than her previous public outburst.

It doesn’t help that the story was initially reported by tabloid newspaper The Sun, which isn’t exactly known for its journalistic standards. According to The Sun, the woman and her friend were invited to Chyna’s hotel suite at the Sacramento Sheraton for drinks. The woman’s friend, who allegedly caught the incident on camera, said that Chyna became “agitated” and turned on them. “Suddenly out of nowhere Chyna just yelled at my friend to ‘shut the f*ck up’ or she’d beat both our asses,” he said.

However, he said that when the two tried to leave, “she shut the door behind me and kept my friend in the room.” After waiting in the hall for 20 minutes, members of Chyna’s entourage knocked on the door, at which point the woman can be seen fleeing the room and crying. The Sun reports that according to the Sacramento Police Department, “A dispute between two parties occurred, and the incident was resolved at the scene by the individuals involved. No injuries were reported.”

Fans on Twitter were less than credulous, posting their disbelief at the wild story. Check out their responses below.

Rick Ross Doesn’t Think Drake And Ye Took Their Feud As Seriously As Fans Did

For the last few years, the feud between Drake and Kanye West — sorry, I mean Ye — has been the subject of endless fascination and speculation among fans. Every shot from either side was relentlessly pondered and debated, and fans took great delight in parsing each artist’s output for secret subliminal disses while goading the confrontation at every turn.

However, through it all, there was one artist among their peers who never bought into the hype. Rick Ross previously noted that he “loved” the back and forth between the two, reminding fans that the antics didn’t really put either artist at risk. “Kanye posted Drake’s address on the Instagram, but who didn’t have Drake address already?” he said.

He reiterated a similar sentiment on Wednesday night during a live interview with Billboard at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles which Uproxx attended. “This wasn’t something that I really took seriously,” he said of the so-called beef between Drake and Ye. “These are two icons, forward-thinkers, highly intelligent brothers. I didn’t really see them taking it too seriously.”

However, like many, he enjoyed seeing the two call a ceasefire for a benefit concert set to take place this week at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. “The Free Larry Hoover campaign is a great reason to come together and get on the stage. That’s what I’m excited about and happy to see these brothers pulling it off, and let’s make sure we tune in.”

Elsewhere in the interview, he also addressed his own supposed friction with Meek Mill after fans spent the summer speculating about simmering tensions between the Philly rapper and his mentor. Those rumors intensified with a line on Ross’ new single, “Little Havana” from his upcoming album Richer Than I Ever Been dropping this week.

“N****s soul being sold and still own a leash,” Ross raps on the track. “Roger Goodell boy, he ain’t a corniche / I was really throwin’ money, I really saw Meech / And I let them rappin’ n****s get closer to Meek.” However, at the Grammy Museum, Ross said there was no ill will behind the lyrics. “I feel like we’re both hustlers,” he said. “That’s one thing about life, you either grow together or grow apart. As a boss, you make that decision, because whatever it is you want to do, Ricky Rozay wants to see you do it. There’s a lot of people that didn’t last or was still down with me the way Meek is — so I want to see the homie shine regardless.”

Richer Than I Ever Been is out 12/10 via Epic Records.

RuPaul fans are looking forward to the new year, as the 14th season of RuPaul’s Drag Race is set to premiere on January 7, 2022 on VH1. Today, the show unveiled its guest judges and there’s a lot of musical firepower on the roster.

Henson, Andra Day, Loni Love, Christine Chiu, Ava Max, Nicole Byer, Ts Madison, Alec Mapa, Dove Cameron, and Dulce Sloan. Some of them also appear in a new teaser video for the upcoming season.

Fans of both Lizzo and Drag Race know that the artist and the show have a strong preexisting relationship. She was a guest judge on the show in 2018 and told Rolling Stone of the experience, “To work with RuPaul is a dream. It was a bucket list [item]. I’m very fortunate to have been in the same room as RuPaul. You learn so much just by watching the way RuPaul operates. Apparently there are some petitions for me to be a permanent judge [laughs].” In 2019, she also recruited a bunch of drag queens from the show for a new “Juice” video.

Lizzo is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Stephen Curry Shares New Interview Clip Of Nipsey Hussle Explaining Why He Started Rapping

by

Back in July, 2018, less than a year before his tragic death in March, 2019, Victory Lap rapper Nipsey Hussle appeared on Stephen Curry’s 5 Minutes From Home YouTube show and spoke with the three-time NBA Finals champion about hip hop and fatherhood. 

Throughout the conversation, Hussle dropped gems (as he was one to do) and left fans wanting to hear more of his and Curry’s meaningful conversation. 

Fortunately, with the recent launch of Curry’s new 15 Minutes From Home podcast on Audible, that is now a real possibility. 

Today, more than three years after the 5 Minutes From Home episode hit the airwaves, Curry blessed his and Hussle’s collective fanbase with an extended version of the interview featuring conversation about Victory Lap, and the “Blue Laces 2” rapper’s explanation of why he picked up a mic in the first place. 

Explaining that he grew up with a good family, Hussle said his final album was the culmination of a career that navigated through the highest of highs, and the lowest of lows.

“I’m sure in your own way you can relate to looking at basketball, from not being a professional, just being a young kid with a dream and being somebody that got a passion for the game and then looking at we’re you’re standing now,” Hussle told Curry. “And for you to tell that story and to flashback to that young version of yourself and re-identify with those emotions — that’s how I look at the album… I wanted to be a rapper. I wanted to speak on a platform. And all the process to get here, that shit wasn’t no straight line. It was ups and downs and setbacks. I would assume as an athlete, you deal with injuries, politics in sports but when you get to where you’re going and take a moment to step back, that’s what I look at [Victory Lap] as. The reflection.”

Drake Allegedly Slept With Kylie Jenner Behind Travis Scott’s Back, Says Tristan Thompson’s Alleged BM

by

Tristan Thompson’s alleged infidelity has (once again…) opened up a can of worms for the Kardashian family. A woman named Maralee Nichols came forward a few days ago, claiming that she is the mother of one of Tristan’s kids. This came as a shock to pop culture fanatics, who believed, alongside Khloé Kardashian, that the basketball star would finally be faithful to her. It turns out that apparently, he was unable to keep it in his pants again and, this time, he may have spread a massive family secret that Kylie Jenner, Drake, and plenty of others likely didn’t want in the headlines.

Drake is presently trending on Twitter and, while many are talking about his upcoming performance with Ye tonight in Los Angeles, the majority of people contributing to the trend are reacting to something that Thompson’s alleged baby mother posted, claiming that he told her about Drake supposedly sleeping with Kylie Jenner behind Travis Scott’s back.

“You said that you planned to leave Khloe… it wasn’t working and hasn’t been for years and you were retiring from the NBA after this year and planned to leave Cali,” said Nichols about Thompson in a post. “And you told me you planned to leave Khloe at Doja Cat’s party in L.A. Flew me and my best friend out. All for why??”

Thompson allegedly responded to that post by asking her to leave Doja Cat and other names out of this dramatic unfolding, but she continued by dropping even more names.

“Sad that I have to threaten to expose the Kardashians for a response smh,” allegedly said Nichols in a follow-up post. “You know Drake slept with Kylie last year but you aren’t man enough to tell Travis (Scott). There it is. Good night folks. More tomorrow.”

Neither Drake nor Kylie has responded to the rumors. We will keep you posted if they do.

Playboi Carti’s “Whole Lotta Red” Surpasses 500,000 Sales, Earns RIAA Gold Certification

by

Playboi Carti is one of the most enigmatic artists in all of hip hop. 

From his affinity for Rick Owens clothing and tweets that read like Carti is speaking a language he made up himself to the one-of-one sound he’s perfected over the last half-decade, the Die Lit rapper is one-of-a-kind. Backed up by one of the most intense fanbases in music, Carti sometimes feels more like a cult leader than a musician, and based on how his concerts look (and his half-assertions that his fanbase is a cult), the 25-year-old is all about the rage.

Dropping his second studio album on Christmas Day, 2020, Whole Lotta Red was left off nearly all end-of-year lists last year, and it was unclear if releasing new music on such a major holiday would affect his selling power. Fortunately for Carti, the Future, Kanye West and Kid Cudi-assisted Whole Lotta Red debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 (his first #1 album), and moved 100,000 album equivalent units in its first week. 

Fast forward almost an entire year to today (December 9, 2021), and WLR has quintupled that number. 

According to chartdata on Twitter, Whole Lotta Red surpassed the 500,000 sales threshold, earning the record an RIAA Gold Certification. And while Carti came up short on his promise that his next album, Narcissist, would release on his birthday in September, it’s clear that The Vamps are still spinning Whole Lotta Red as their fearless leaders finishes the third and final leg of its supporting tour. 

What do you think of Whole Lotta Red going gold? Let us know & drop your favorite song from the album down in the comments. 

Saweetie Wants To Open A Celebrity Wellness Resort After Experiencing Burnout And ‘Mental Breakdowns’

These past two years have been hard for everyone. Even celebrities, while extremely privileged, have struggled to balance work and life while turning out constant content in quarantine (celebrities — they’re just like us!). Saweetie knows this all too well. The rapper has been hustling hard this past year between firing off hit singles and making TV appearances. Because she’s constantly on the clock, Saweetie has been feeling burnt out. That’s why she hopes to one day build a wellness resort geared towards celebrities to focus on their mental health.

Saweetie recently sat down with People to talk about how her overloaded schedule is affecting her mental health:

“I try to take things day to day. Sometimes I can’t look at my calendar on my weekly schedule because it’ll give me anxiety,” she said. “I feel like what I’m working for is starting to pay off, so I’m just really grateful to be acknowledged. […] It’s like I live, sleep, eat and breathe music and business. My team is really small, so I have to take on responsibilities that eventually somebody else will, but because my team is small, I have to help them out. It’s just trying to find balance right now. I have no balance. Everything is just work, work, work and I don’t have an outlet. I don’t have a therapist. I don’t hang out with any of my friends because I work so much, so it’s just trying to thug it out into until the New Year. I feel like I’m being run down to the ground right now and my body doesn’t feel good. I’ve had mental breakdowns and it’s just really stressful, but it’s nice to be acknowledged because it lets me know that my hard work isn’t going unnoticed.

After seeing other musicians — like Doja Cat, for example — talk about the difficulties of constantly working, Saweetie says she hopes to one day “create a resort for celebrities and their mental health.” “You see artists, especially women artists, venting online and it really makes my soul sad that no one is protecting our mental health,” she told People. “We’re working so much and mental health is important because if we’re not healthy, then we can’t work and if we can’t work, there’s no music.”

She also hopes to build schools and “help out people in communities that look like me.” But along with hoping she takes after Gwyneth Paltrow’s massive wellness empire or leans into philanthropy, Saweetie also has the goal of one day becoming a billionaire. “If I can get some investors before I become a billionaire, creating a wellness resort for celebrities and public figures, athletes, entertainers is like one of my primary goals,” she said.

Jayson Tatum Reveals He Could Have A Signature Shoe Soon

by

Jayson Tatum is one of the best young players in the entire NBA, and fans are excited whenever he steps on the court. While the Celtics have had some struggles over the last season and a half, there is no doubt that Tatum has the ability to become a bonafide superstar. In fact, when you reach the level of Tatum, you typically get awarded with your very own signature shoe.

Over the past few years, Tatum has gotten his own colorways for certain Jumpman silhouettes like the Air Jordan 34, 35, and 36, however, he has yet to get his own shoe. Well, as it turns out, that might change soon as Tatum recently told the Knuckleheads podcast that something is brewing.

Tatum couldn’t give any specifics on his signature shoe, although he did say that it would be on the way soon. Jordan Brand signatures are fairly rare, as one of the few players to have one right now is none other than Zion Williamson. However, it would be nice to see Tatum get one, as he has proven himself when it comes to his play out on the court.

Stay tuned to HNHH as we will be sure to bring you all of the latest details related to Tatum’s upcoming shoe. In the meantime, give us your hopes for this sneaker, in the comments below.
