They were once good friends but after Charlamagne Tha God dubbed her “Anaconda” megahit “trash,” Nicki Minaj wasn’t a happy camper. She would go on to say that The Breakfast Club host led a “hate train” against her, something that he would later deny. They engaged in an unfortunate back and forth in which Charlamange continued to say that he admired the singer. 

Their relationship does not seem to have been repaired because when asked during a recent interview what celebrity he’d like to mend fences with, he named the Queen of the Barbz.

“What celebrity would I like to make amends with…probably Nicki Minaj,” said Charlamagne. “Me and Nicki used to be super, we used to be really cool. Yeah, I was very vocal about not liking the ‘Anaconda’ record back in the day and, yeah, definitely, probably Nicki. I got a lotta respect for Nicki. What Nicki has done is unprecedented. She revitalized female Hip Hop over the past decade.”

“All of these new artists, every single one of ’em from [Cardi B] to [Megan Thee Stallion], it’s because of Nicki,” he added. “Nicki opened that lane again. Yeah, probably Nicki.” It’ unclear how Minaj feels about this, but these two have been trading words for years. Listen to the clip of Charlamange’s interview below.

The drama involving Blueface, his manager Wack 100, and aspiring rapper Chrisean Rock has played out this week like a social media soap opera. Chrisean is no longer one of Blueface’s artists, but the two have had a close relationship since she was featured as one of his boxing girls on his reality show hosted in his home. However, all of that came to a screeching halt once Chrisean allegedly broke windows at the residence Blueface set her up in and later had an incident that required police to get involved.

In clips shared online, Wack and Blueface are seen telling police that they wanted Chrisean removed from the premises. Both Blueface and Chrisean would surface with their sides of the story, but after Wack also chimed in, Chrisean promised to spill the tea on what was really happening behind the scenes.

“I told the girl day 1 she was a waste of time!” Wack wrote on his Instagram Story. “Hygiene bad attitude bad music bad #allbad #yagottago #getout [trashemojis] this ain’t how Baltimore get down.” Chrisean responded by calling out Wack, saying that Blueface only brought her on to help pay the debt that he has with his manager.

Chrisean claims that Blueface is locked into a bad contract and has no way out and added that he lied in his video about how things went down during their fight. She also insists she didn’t sign contracts with anyone and that’s why Wack 100 is truly upset. Once again, it’s a lot to piece together, so check it out below.

As investigators continue to search for the persons responsible for Young Dolph’s murder, the rapper was laid to rest. This week, loved ones of the 36-year-old late rapper gathered together for a private funeral, but according to reports, a larger, public memorial is in the works. We’ve been reporting on this ongoing case following Dolph being gunned down in his hometown of Memphis.

Police haven’t shared much regarding the development of their investigation as fans have taken to social media with theories, rumors, and speculative reports.

According to HipHopDX, Dolph’s friends, fans, and loved ones plan to join together to pay tribute to the rapper once again in just a few weeks. It will reportedly take place at the FedEx Forum in Memphis on December 16—a location that can host upwards of 19,000 guests. Pastor Earle Fisher spoke at the private funeral and expressed concern about the development of this case.

“With all of the pomp and circumstance that elected officials and civic leaders have put around this heinous murder, we could do something to bring the people who have been involved in this to accountability and justice a whole lot sooner,” Fisher said. “The reality is there is a body being buried just about every day in Shelby County, and often we have people who are in powerful positions that have created policies that make these bodies pile up.”

 Dolph’s longtime partner Mia also recently shared a touching, yet heartbreaking tribute to her beau. You can watch that below.

He has had his fair share of high-profile relationships and even was engaged to Erica Mena for a moment, but Bow Wow is loving his bachelor life. The rapper has developed a playboy reputation in the industry as he has often been spotted partying with the ladies a time or two, but since becoming a father, Bow Wow has decided to change things up.

Fans have watched as he’s famously dated Ciara, Erica Mena, Angela Simmons, Keyshia Cole, Blac Chyna, Kiyomi Leslie, and Joie Chavis, but when fans questioned him about whether or not he planned on settling down, Bow was clear he had no aspirations to tie the knot.

“I have nothing against folks who get married. Its just i know myself and that life is not the life for me. My life is perfect the way it is,” he tweeted. “No more kids fasho! And yes i love my life as is.” Elsewhere he explained why he’s opted to fly solo. “Just not my thing. I like my peace. I like my space. I like spending my money on me and my daughter. I havent had a headache in 3 years [rolling crying laughing emoji].” 

Bow also joked, “Love dont want me any more.” Still, his fans pestered him about holing things down in the boardroom as well with his love life. It seems they want to see him cuffed up. Read through a few of Bow Wow’s tweets below.

Today, Antonio Brown and his teammate Mike Edwards were suspended three games by the NFL and NFLPA after it was revealed that they had faked their vaccination cards, thus deceiving their team and the league. This was a huge deal for the NFL as a whole, and it’s no surprise that the NFLPA stepped in as well since this had to do with player safety at large. 

Despite the suspension, Brown’s lawyer Sean Burstyn came out and said that his client is, indeed, vaccinated and that he did nothing wrong. AB would not be looking to overturn the suspension, however, it was still quite the statement given the recent investigation.

Per Burstyn:

“Mr. Brown is vaccinated and continues to support the vaccine for any person for whom it is appropriate. The NFL made its determination and, instead of going through the drawn out process of challenging the outcome, Mr. Brown wrapped this up promptly and he will make this most of this time by treating an ankle injury. Mr. Brown will be motivated, well rested, and in the best shape of his life when he returns in week 16.”

Now, AB appears to be speaking out on the matter, or, at least he kind of is. Brown is known for being an enigma on social media, and in the aftermath of his suspension, he decided to take to Twitter by saying “AB Arabian” and that’s it. No one knows what he truly means here, but it’s AB, so you have to kind of expect the ambiguity.

Brown’s suspension is a developing story right now, so stay tuned to HNHH for all of the latest updates.

A little over 24 hours following the tragic murder of Jacqueline Avant during a home invasion, police have arrested a suspect. Yesterday (December 1), we reported on the shocking home invasion that resulted in the death of 81-year-old Jacqueline Avant. She was the wife to Clarence Avant, a legendary music executive whose career spans decades, generations, and borders. 

Hollywood has collectively mourned this callous incident as people like Oprah Winfrey and Tyler Perry have expressed their grief and devastation publicly. Now, investigators have shared that a suspect is in custody—and he was apprehended after literally shooting himself in the foot.

The suspect has been identified as 29-year-old parolee Aariel Maynor. He was captured on surveillance cameras in the neighborhood as his car was seen leaving the area. However, that wasn’t what directed police to him; it seems that Maynor was arrested after dispatch received a call about a robbery and shooting. He was located behind a second residence with a gunshot wound.

“At this time, we’re only looking at him as a suspect, but again, there’s a lot of evidence to go through, so we’re leaving open the possibility there could be other people involved,” Beverly Hills police Chief Mark Stainbrook said.

Local station CBS 2 News in Los Angeles reported:

Stainbrook described Maynor as a parolee with an extensive criminal history. According to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, he was most recently released to parole supervision on Sept. 1 after serving four years for second-degree robbery. He has previously served time for a separate robbery conviction and grand theft.

Maynor was also found to be in the possession of a firearm similar to the one used to kill Jacqueline Avant. Once Maynor has been treated and cleared by doctors, he will be taken to jail.

A couple of nights ago, the Los Angeles Lakers took on the Sacramento Kings and won. This was a special win for the Lakers as they were able to pull it off without LeBron James in the lineup. It was a bit of a shocking absence for the Lakers as it was reported that LeBron James had tested positive for COVID-19 and would have to spend 10 days in quarantine due to the NBA’s health and safety protocols.

Earlier today, it was reported by Shams Charania of The Athletic that the league would not be wavering on the rules and that LeBron will still have to serve his 10 days. It was, however, noted that LeBron had just registered a negative PCR test, which was a good sign moving forward.

Now, LeBron has been completely cleared to play as he has registered a second negative PCR test in 24 hours. The rule is that if you can get two negative tests within a day, then the 10-day rule is completely waived. Not to mention, it was also reported by Charania that LeBron’s positive test from a couple of days ago turned out to be inconclusive. As a result, LeBron will be back on the court much earlier than anticipated.

This is huge news for the Lakers and their fans, as the team’s superstar is now active again. It’s also huge for the league, as LeBron will now be able to play against the Clippers on Friday night.

We’re just hours away from yet another epic Verzuz but things are kicking off with a bit of a hiccup. There have been talks of Three 6 Mafia sharing the stage with Bone Thugs-N-Harmony for a year and a half, but there seems to have been some obstacles behind the scenes that kept this one from happening sooner. Whatever that may have been, the two legendary Hip Hop groups are ready to join together, but not before Bizzy Bone got a few things off of his chest.

Rappers of both collectives have been steadily sharing videos and posts online to help hype the event, but Bizzy’s Instagram caption shared this (December 2) morning got tongues wagging. “This entire time during the countdown to this Verzuz , these n*ggaz have been b*tching about posts. What they are saying in a nut shell is , they don’t want to be called devil worshippers.”

Bizzy went on to say that if the Memphis group did not want to be referred to as “devil worshippers” they should not have named themselves Three 6 Mafia.

“Well wtf is you and wtf is your name three sixes for? Whats that a acronym for? FOH. (Mello rebound) That is the mark of the beast is it not?” he questioned. “Ya’ll grew up in the church so you knew the ramifications behind naming ya self that to MAKE PEOPLE THINK YOU SOLD YOUR SOUL FOR RICHES AND FAME (thats a classic). Now you got your money and u wanna act like nobody can call you out on it? Ya’ll got me f’d up.”

He continued to denounce his Verzuz opponents, accusing them of dismissing the church while challenging them to prove they aren’t “some devil worshipping punk ass n*ggaz.” How? By officially stating that they don’t worship the devil on the Verzuz stage.

Now everybody lets see what they do. If they do not denounce satan tonight it is safe to say they know exactly what they are doing and who they are using and what they are using it for. ALSO …… One more ouija board reference like that covers the toll and imma crack that b*tch on top of one of u fuh n*ggaz heads. Its not Ouija in harmony hoes. So shut that sht up. Understand me? NOW LETS SEE IF THREE SIX DENOUNCES satan tonight LIVE!!!! Pressure.

He also called out Swizz Beatz, Timbaland, and Triller. “I TOLD THEM TO LEAVE ME TF ALONE AND LET ME GO ON ABOUT MY DEVICES. I told em. Now they souls on the line. I am not playing with these n*ggaz.” Check it out below.

Skip Bayless is a huge fan of the Dallas Cowboys, and even when the team is struggling, he tries to find a way to be positive. This is especially true when it comes to quarterback Dak Prescott, who has consistently been a solid QB for the team. While his success hasn’t always led to some clutch play out on the field, there are still plenty of Cowboys fans out there who will argue that Dak is a top 5 quarterback in the entire league.

As it turns out, however, Bayless is not one of those people. The Undisputed host is actually unimpressed with Dak’s recent play out on the field, and while listing his top 10 quarterbacks in the entire league, Bayless opted to leave Prescott off of the list.

As you can see in the clip below, Bayless decided to go with the usual superstars like Patrick Mahomes, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Lamar Jackson, Justin Herbert, Joe Burrow, Kirk Cousins, Josh Allen, Matthew Stafford, and even Kyler Murray. From there, Bayless noted that he would put Derek Carr at 11 over Dak since Carr defeated the Cowboys on Thanksgiving. Overall, Bayless put Prescott at number 12 on his list, which certainly isn’t the biggest showcase of praise you could give someone. 

With the Cowboys sitting at a record of 7-4, they are still leading their division, however, they have a lot of work to do if they want to do anything in the playoffs. The NFC is tough this year, and they could easily end up losing in the Wild Card round if they aren’t careful.
