Despite having a pretty messy year in the press, DaniLeigh has a lot to be thankful for this holiday season. For starters, she’s a first-time mother, giving birth to her beautiful daughter earlier this year. But even that moment was shadowed by drama. The father of her baby is rapper DaBaby, who, last week, kicked her out of his home for seemingly no good reason. In the process, Baby ruined Dani’s preference to keep their situation private, filming her on Instagram Live during an argument and revealing their daughter’s face for the first time.

As things look to finally be on an upwards trend for DaniLeigh, who has received a wave of support since her spat with Baby, the rapper shared what she’s thankful for this holiday season, posting the first clear photos of her child’s face.

“Thankful,” she wrote with a white heart emoji, posting a gallery of her baby. She looks like a happy child, smiling big in a couple of the shots before mellowing out her mood in the later pictures. 

This can’t have been an easy year for DaniLeigh as she watched her fans turn on her and make jokes about her “Yellow Bone” song, her relationship with DaBaby, and her pregnancy. But the grass is greener on the other side and she’s slowly making her way over, winning people back with cute pictures of her baby.

SoleFly and Jordan Brand have teamed up quite a bit in the past, so it only makes sense that the Florida boutique would link up with Jumpman for even more great sneakers. After all, Jumpman has a fantastic library of shoes, and you can never truly go wrong with silhouettes like the Air Jordan 1 Low. In fact, the Jordan 1 Low is now the subject of SoleFly’s latest Jordan Brand collab, and the official images for this new shoe can be found below.

As you will see, this is definitely a wild collab as there is a lot happening here. For instance, the toe box is red, while the middle part of the shoe, including the Nike swoosh and tongue, is black. We then have some animal print embossed at the front, which has a tan and black look to it. More animal print is then found on the back, however, it is simply all tan. SoleFly logos are then placed on the back heel, for good measure.

No release information has been given for this shoe, so stay tuned to HNHH as we will be sure to bring you all of the latest and most relevant updates. In the meantime, let us know what you think of this brand new shoe, in the comments section below.

Snoop Dogg recently made his bold prediction for which teams will square off in the February 13th Super Bowl at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, as the Long Beach native told TMZ he believes the Los Angeles Rams and Chargers will end up meeting in the big game. 

Snoop, along with other big-name celebrity performers, are currently scheduled to occupy this year’s Super Bowl halftime show at the new, billion dollar stadium in L.A. Famous Southern California artists like Dr. Dre and Kendrick Lamar will accompany Snoop on the big stage, and Snoop apparently thinks that come February, the NFL will be under an L.A takeover.

During a Thanksgiving food drive, Snoop told TMZ reporters that he thinks the Super Bowl will feature both the Los Angeles Chargers and Rams.

The Rams and Chargers both currently sit in second place across their respective divisions through the first 11 weeks of the NFL season. Between the two, the Rams have seven wins as opposed to the Chargers’ six, however, both L.A teams could be poised to make a run down the final stretch.

Snoop is of the mindset that star power will be the theme of this year’s Super Bowl, whether it pertains to the on-field football or the halftime hip-hop. The flashy L.A Rams have done their part in making that star-driven experience happen, as they’ve recently made two splash moves for a couple of superstar talents, bringing in Pro Bowlers Odell Beckham Jr. and Von Miller.

Though the L.A rivalry matchup may seem far-fetched today, Snoop Dogg knows that under his bold prediction, the real winners on February 13th would be So Cal fans and the entire city of Los Angeles, themselves.

Conor McGregor has been away from the UFC since the summer following his big loss to Dustin Poirier during their trilogy fight. McGregor broke his leg during the match and as a result, he has had to take some time off to recover. Regardless, McGregor is still motivated to make a comeback and according to his coach John Kavanagh, he could very well be sparring in just a few weeks from now as his leg has made a ton of progress. 

In a report from The Independent, Kavanagh made some very bold claims about McGregor as he said the UFC superstar is more jacked than he’s ever been and that when he comes back to the UFC, he could very well end up being a middleweight. McGregor typically fights at 155 pounds, however, this upgrade would put him between 175 and 185.

“He’s going to be back in the gym, he’s going to be back on the mats now in the next couple of weeks with me,” Kavanagh said. “He’s doing a lot of strength training at the moment. The guy is jacked. I think he’s coming back to the UFC as a middleweight! But he’ll be back on the mats with me now shortly and we’ll start off with combat sports training again.”

Moving up weight classes is no easy task, and if McGregor were to do so, there would be some hefty challenges ahead. Regardless, a McGregor that is stronger than ever before is certainly a prospect that UFC fans should be excited about.

LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers got back in the win column last night as they won a close game against the Indiana Pacers. LeBron had 39 points in the overtime win, and in the eyes of many fans, this was a great way for the Lakers star to return following his one-game suspension.

Of course, it wasn’t without some drama, however, as LeBron ended up getting two fans kicked out of the game. As you can see in the clip below, the fans were courtside and LeBron told the referee that they needed to be escorted out of the building. That’s exactly what happened as security stepped in and told the fans to get out as quickly as possible.

In the immediate aftermath of the situation, many took to Twitter to deliver their opinions on the matter, including Skip Bayless, who is an avid LeBron hater. In fact, Skip opted to go with a new insult towards LeBron, as he promptly called him “LeSnitch” which is pretty hilarious if you ask us.

Interestingly enough, Skip was actually a fan of what happened, as he believes LeBron found his stride after kicking the fans out. He was playing with a newfound swagger that Skip would like to see a lot more of, moving forward.

Regardless of the reason behind LeBron’s actions last night, there is no doubt that he was playing on another level that will be appreciated by Lakers fans. Perhaps it will inspire his teammates to reach those same heights.

Ahead of their annual Thanksgiving Day game, the Dallas Cowboys and its fans received tough news regarding star receiver CeeDee Lamb’s availability, prior to Thursday’s kick-off.

Dallas’ first round pick of last season, Lamb, was unable to pass the final steps of concussion protocol, after sustaining the head injury last week against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to NFL’s Ari Meirov. As a result, Dallas will be without their star wideout as they prepare to face the Las Vegas Raiders, at home. 

The 7-3 Cowboys will also be without their other top receiver, Amari Cooper, who remains out for the second straight week due to COVID-19 protocols, limiting what quarterback Dak Prescott and the Dallas offense will be able to do offensively. Lamb, especially, will surely be missed, as he currently leads the team with 740 yards receiving and six touchdowns on the season.

CeeDee Lamb’s second year breakout campaign will have to wait another week. Unfortunately for the Cowboys, it couldn’t have come at a worse time, coming into Thursday’s game on a short week after losing at Kansas City this past Sunday, resulting in their second loss in three weeks. 

Cowboys receiver Michael Gallup, who’s been limited to just three games this season, is expected to receive an up-tick in targets, along with third-year pro, Cedrick Wilson. Dallas heads into the Thanksgiving showdown against a struggling 5-5 Raiders team facing a must-win game, after losing three straight matchups following their week eight bye. The Cowboys currently sit first place atop a weak NFC East Division. 

Kanye West’s Yeezy basketball shoes have always gotten fans excited. While they aren’t exactly suitable for high-level basketball, there is no doubt that they look like basketball shoes for the more fashion-oriented individual. The Yeezy Basketball QNTM has been getting a ton of colorways over the past 18 months, and with the year almost over, the Yeezy brand is looking to get even more onto the market. In fact, a brand new offering was recently revealed, and it can be found below.

The shoe has been dubbed “Amber Tint” and it is easy to see why. The shoe has your regular QNTM black and grey look on the upper, although the rest of the shoe shines thanks to a golden tint that is placed around the upper in the form of curved stripes. It is yet another hit in the QNTM library, and if you have yet to cop a Yeezy basketball shoe, this could be your chance to finally get one. 

For now, no release information is available for these, so stay tuned to HNHH as we will be sure to bring you all of the latest details related to this upcoming shoe. In the meantime, let us know what you think of this colorway, in the comments section below.

Today is Thanksgiving in the U.S., so many of the Hip-Hop community’s favorite artists are celebrating in some form or fashion, from artists like Big Sean tuning into the Detroit Lions and Chicago Bears game to Ari Fletcher and MoneyBagg Yo celebrating their “sex-iversary.” 

50 Cent, on the other hand, is spending his Thanksgiving on Instagram, joking about how the traditional centerpiece of his Thanksgiving feast has been utterly destroyed.

Fif took to Instagram early Thanksgiving morning to commemorate the holiday and throw some jabs at his girlfriend Jamira “Cuban Link” Haines in the process. The rap mogul-turned-television executive shared a photo of a scorched, black turkey, and according to him, it’s all Cuban Link’s fault.

“i told her ass let the chef cook. she said ‘no i want to do it for us. just let me try,’ now i’m a have a damn Turkey and cheese sandwich and lay down. @_cuban_link,” 50 cent wrote in the post’s caption.

See 50 Cent’s funny Thanksgiving post below.

Cuban Link even hopped in Fif’s comments, and while the fitness trainer, entrepreneur, and aspiring lawyer didn’t confirm whether or not that charcoaled turkey was the result of her efforts in the kitchen, she did respond with “Lmaooo” and a flood of punch emojis.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating in the United States!

By now, everyone who watches the NBA is aware of the altercation that went down between LeBron James and Isaiah Stewart just a few days ago. Both players were suspended for their respective actions, and it was an event that sent shockwaves throughout the NBA. For some, it wasn’t such a big deal, however, to others, it was the biggest thing that could have ever happened. It was an excuse to push narratives, with guys like Skip Bayless doing the absolute most in retaliation.

While speaking to GQ about the altercation, Dwight Howard took a level-headed approach. Howard noted that had the same thing happened to him, he would have gone after the perpetrator as well. While he understands that Stewart was doing a lot given the circumstances, he also acknowledges that you can’t tell someone how to feel, especially when someone makes them bleed.

“Tempers can flare in the NBA,” Howard said while speaking to Tyler R. Tynes of GQ. “The young fella got hit in the mouth and started bleeding. In his defense, you gotta stand up for yourself. Now, was it the right time and place to do that? No. But you can’t tell somebody how to react in a moment like that. […] Now, he also did a lot. He was enraged and upset. I can’t say what he did was right, but I do understand it. Somebody hit me in my mouth and made me bleed? I’d be pissed off too. A little pride and ego probably kicked in too: you in front of 20,000 people, you bleeding from ya lip and ya eye, you don’t ever want to look like that. I get most of why his reaction was the way it was.”

This is one of those situations that will probably be forgotten in a week’s time, however, there is no denying that this ended up occupying a significant portion of the news cycle for a few days. In today’s age of lightning-fast news cycles, that feat is quite impressive.
