Day two of Travis Scott’s Astroworld Festival was expected to kick off today, but after eight attendees were tragically killed on day one, the Houston rapper decided to shut down the event. Early this afternoon he shared a statement, expressing his disbelief over the mass casualty that occurred on Friday night.

“My prayers go out to the families and all those impacted by what happened at Astroworld Festival,” the “MAFIA” artist wrote on Twitter. “Houston PD has my total support as they continue to look into the tragic loss of life. I am committed to working together with the Houston community to heal and support the families in need.”

The upsetting incident has made headlines worldwide, and according to TMZ, some sources are sharing that a patron of the event may have been injecting others in the crowd with drugs. Someone closely linked to the festival allegedly told the site that authorities are currently trying to determine if attendees who went into cardiac arrest during the stampede were also injected.

Reports say that at least one of the victims was seen foaming at the mouth before going into cardiac arrest, which could be considered evidence that there was foul play involved. One of the eight people killed while attending Astroworld Festival was reportedly just 10 years old. RIP.

TMZ acknowledges that they have not yet confirmed this news, although their source is allegedly a key person involved in the festival, so the speculation could turn out to be the truth further down the road. Aside from the unfortunate loss of life, over 300 people also sustained injuries in the crowd.

Klay Thompson hasn’t played an NBA basketball game since the 2019 NBA Finals, and fans are waiting for his return. After all, he is one of the greatest shooters of all time, and he is someone that people want to see play. The Warriors are a weaker team without him, however, they won’t be deprived of him for much longer as he continues to get close to a comeback. 

Last night, Thompson was on the broadcast as the Warriors took on the New Orleans Pelicans, and during the festivities, he made sure to note that he is feeling really good amidst his recovery. Thompson also went on to explain what he misses most about playing right now.

“I really miss the winning,” Thompson explained. “I miss playing in front of the fans and then just playing basketball. I really love what I do, I always have since I was a kid. I think these last two years have given me a great sense of appreciation for the work it takes to be great. And my story is still being written, so I’m not satisfied with where my career is at. I still have many more chapters to write.”

The Warriors are 7-1 to start the season and we’re sure they would love to be tagging him along for the ride. For now, however, he is getting his health in order, which is what’s most important moving forward. Whether or not Thompson can return to his old ways upon return, remains to be seen.

The Air Jordan 1 Low continues to impress while gaining in popularity throughout its various colorway and collaboration releases. Its most recent should prove to be no different, as the women’s two-toned blue colorway is set to release soon. Here, we’ll take a first look at the sneaker’s details and specifics in the latest Jordan 1 Low upcoming drop. 

Although a women’s shoe, similarly to the Nike Dunk series’ colorways, this Low design can be matched and styled regardless of sex. The Jordan 1 Low two-toned blue colorway consists of primary royal and navy colors around its upper that make-up the majority of the shoe’s color concept. The royal blue color wraps around the front of the toe, then back across the heel, while the darker navy tone compliments its top and sides.

Additional details include a signature Nike Swoosh in grey, the only hint of grey found on the Jordan 1 Low. The same-colored navy is found on the outsole that rests underneath the sneaker’s standard white midsole. More of the navy color is featured on the Low’s tongue, laces, and Air Jordan logo on the heel. 

Expected to sell at the standard $110 retail price, Nike.com has yet to announce an official release date for the blue, two-toned Jordan 1 Low. However, be sure to check back in with HNHH for latest news and updates regarding the shoe’s eventual release. 

Take a first look at the women’s two-toned blue colorway, below:

Day 2 of Astroworld Festival was canceled as a result of the tragedy that took place on Friday night. The organizers of the festival said that they would be working diligently with authorities.

Scott has now issued a statement on his own Instagram page, offering his condolences to the families of those affected by the incident.

“I’m absolutely devastated by what took place last night. My prayers go out to the families and all of those impacted by what happened at Astroworld Festival.

Houston PD has my total support as they continue to look into the tragic loss of life.

I am committed to working together with the Houston community to heal and support the families in need. Thank you to Houston PD, Fire Department and NRG Park for their immediate response and support

Love You All.”

The return of Astroworld Festival included surprise appearances from artists like Drake, Lil Baby, and more. We’ll keep you posted with more information on the investigation.

Kyrie Irving is one of the best point guards in the entire NBA although as it stands, he can’t even play for his team. The Brooklyn Nets have been without him since the start of the season and it all has to do with vaccine mandates within the city of New York. Kyrie can’t do anything about it except getting vaccinated, although he has stated publically that he will not do that no matter the circumstances.

This past week, it was revealed that the Nets were hopeful for Kyrie’s return as a new mayor was elected in New York City. The belief was that Eric Adams might overturn the mandates, however, in an interview with Wolf Blitzer of CNN, it became clear that that wasn’t going to happen under his watch.

“New York City’s not going to change their rule,” Adams explained. “And again, it’s up to the NBA and Kyrie to come to a full understanding on how to keep him on the Nets and continue to look after all our athletes that are coming here.”

With the mandates guaranteed to continue, Kyrie’s hopes are dwindling down very fast. He remains instrumental to the team’s success, although for now, it is unlikely that we will see him back on the court this season, unless he changes his mind quickly on the vaccine.

As you’ve probably heard by now, Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson have been cozying up to one another since the former appeared on an episode of Saturday Night Live last months. The headlines began when a photo of the famous “friends” holding hands on a rollercoaster at Knott’s Scary Farm went viral, and have been running rampant ever since.

Earlier this week, KKW arrived in New York to attend the WSJ Magazine Innovator Awards, where she was honoured for her work on SKIMS, her beloved shape wear company. It didn’t take long for the mother of four to link up with Davidson, who treated her to a romantic dinner at a Staten Island restaurant where they reportedly looked very comfortable together.

On Wednesday night, the SNL co-stars hit the town once again, this time visiting a super exclusive New York club. It’s been said that Kim’s friends were doubting the longevity of the pairing, but after meeting her new beau, they’ve changed their tone and now think that he he fits right in with the group.

For most of 2021, the reality star has been working out a divorce from her husband, Kanye West. According to Us Weekly, he’s ”not happy” with his estranged wife’s behaviour as of late. The site reports that Ye is “trying to stay upbeat and move on with his life,” but he’s still “hurting.”

Sources have said that the “Jail” rapper is “very grateful” for Kardashian helping him with the DONDA rollout and he “wants to stay on good terms” with their children and long-term peace being his main priorities. It’s also worth noting that the rapper no longer follows his wife on Instagram at the time of publication.

If you were Kanye West, how would you be feeling right now? Let us know below.
