Chloe Bailey has been a star on the rise for some time now, and the 23-year-old is showing no signs of stopping. Recently, the “Have Mercy” singer sat down for an interview with The Breakfast Club in which she discussed her relationship with Beyoncé, among other things.

“We talk about any and everything. I’m just so grateful to have her stamp of approval. She always gives me words of encouragement, you have no idea how much that means to me,” Bailey told the interviewer.

For many Black women in music, Beyoncé is a huge inspiration. The Lemonade hitmaker rose to fame in the 90’s while fronting the girl group, Destiny’s Child, and went on to release her first solo album, Dangerously In Love in 2003. 

Luckily for the Atlanta-born star, she’s got Queen B in her corner.

“What she kinda says, it’s like, okay, that’s pretty dope, because she’s been there. To know that the advice that she’s giving me is exactly from the place I’m in is pretty cool and inspiring,” Bailey said during her chat with The Breakfast Club.

Throughout her career, the singer has been frequently compared to Beyoncé, with some people even trying to pit the two superstars against one another. When asked what Yoncé has to say about this, Bailey responded very maturely.

“She says she’s really proud of me. That’s not something that we specifically talk about, but I just love her and I’m happy that she sees this light inside of me, and my sister as well,” she said.

However, when the host asked her how she feels about being compared to Beyoncé, Bailey responded, “I’m grateful, that’s the biggest compliment!”

Call of Duty: Vanguard, is set to release in the next month, and the trailer for new Zombies mode has officially been released. The highly anticipated World War II themed game mode follows the Dark Aether storyline first seen in Black Ops Cold War, and based on the new trailer, this version looks ready to live up to the hype and expectations. 

A year after the Battle of Stalingrad, the new Vanguard Zombies mode picks up following the story of Nazi officer Oberführer Wolfram Von List, who upon interacting with a supernatural artifact linked with a Dark Aether entity named Kortifex, is overtaken by dark power from the underworld necessary to lead an army of the dead. Used as an instrument for revenge for the evil entity Kortifex, Von List is gifted the unworldly ability to raise his zombie army from the depths, directing his revenge at you, as well as three friends in the Vanguard Zombies mode.

In this newest release of the Call of Duty franchise, friends will be able to connect and play with various gaming systems through cross-play, so lack of a similar console or PC won’t stop fans attempting to defeat Oberführer Wolfram Von List and his vicious army of the dead. Also, experience earned in the Vanguard Zombies mode carries over towards your normal Battle Pass, along with progression through other multiplayer modes including Warzone, so upgrades and unlocks will be accessible regardless of what mode is played.

Call of Duty: Vanguard officially releases November 5th for Playstation 5, Playstation 4, PC, Xbox Series X/S, and Xbox One. Check out the much anticipated trailer, below:

One of the most eclectic characters in all of hip-hop, the incomparable Young Thug has officially released his sophomore studio album Punk. After months of teasers and hints about which direction the Atlanta-based rapper would be taking on the genre-fusing album, fans are comparing Punk to Thug’s beloved mixtape Beautiful Thugger Girls, which saw him rapping primarily over acoustic guitar beats. Much like on that project, the 30-year-old takes a smoother approach on his new album, opening up on songs like “Die Slow” and bringing some of his closest friends, including Future, Drake, Travis Scott, Gunna, J. Cole, and more, onto the tracklist.

From his fashion to his lyrics, Thugger has always been one of the most interesting and unconventional people in music. He broke down gendered barriers in fashion by wearing a dress on his mixtape Jeffery. And in a now-infamous tweet from years ago, the rapper bragged about the size of his marijuana joint on Twitter, saying that he’s “smoking penises.”

Young Thug is unlike anybody else in the rap game, and we’re going to prove that by gathering some of the quirkiest bars on Punk. Check out our list below, and let us know your personal favorite in the comments.

Ben Simmons wants out of Philadelphia but now, it seems like there is, indeed, some sort of reconciliation on the way. Simmons found himself in Philadelphia this past week, where he is now reporting to the team. It was believed that he would never return, but in the end, he decided to come back and at least try to work some things out. At this point, he still wants to be traded, but things are now a bit better than they were before.

Recently, Sixers reporter Kyle Neubeck wrote about the Simmons saga and how it has affected the team’s biggest star, Joel Embiid. In the piece, it was revealed that while Embiid has criticized Simmons, he still wants him on the team if that’s what gives the Sixers the best chance at winning a title.

Per Neubeck:

“In spite of the distance between the two over the summer and the shade cast in both directions through public interviews and leaked reports, Embiid ultimately just wants to win, and has expressed a desire to get Simmons in the fold and working toward contending. If Simmons proves stubborn or uninterested in doing so, the team believes Embiid is onboard with not settling for a trade just to be done with the problem altogether.”

There are numerous teams who are out there trying to get Simmons on their roster, but for now, the Sixers don’t seem content with any of the trade packages that have been offered. With this in mind, stay tuned to HNHH for more updates from the NBA world.
