Just over two months ago, Yella Beezy was arrested after he claims officers mistook his novelty hand sanitizer for Lean. The rapper was detained on drugs and weapons charges and he later shared a video to social media where he detailed his experience, claiming that the authorities went above and beyond to take him into custody. As the Dallas artist tackles that case, it has been reported today (November 5) that Beezy has once again landed himself in police custody. 

The rapper’s third arrest this year reportedly occurred yesterday, but details regarding the circumstances surrounding his charges have yet to be shared publicly.

According to several outlets, including TMZ and NBC 5 News in Dallas-Fort Worth, Beezy, real name Markies Conway, was reportedly “being held on charges of endangering a child, unlawfully carrying a weapon, and an outstanding warrant for sexual assault.” The rapper is reportedly being investigated by the Plano Police Crimes Against Persons Unit and was given a $50K bond for the sexual assault charge.

Beezy was said to have been released today, but the rapper nor his team have issued formal statements regarding his arrest or the charges against him. It is unclear when the initial incident related to these charges occurred, but Plano Officer Andrae Smith stated that Yella Beezy’s arrest was initially only for the sexual assault charge.

“They went to effect the arrest and circumstances surrounding that arrest led to the UCW and the endangering of a child,” said Smith.

Yesterday, the NBA world was shocked as Baxter Holmes and ESPN finally released their investigative piece into the tenure of Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver. There were some pretty heavy allegations in this piece and a lot of them were centered around his casual racism. In the report, it was revealed that Sarver once used the N-word multiple times in a rant about Draymond Green. Green used the word on the court and Sarver was outraged that he himself wasn’t allowed to use the word.

This was the most egregious thing to come out of the piece, which is saying something when you consider how Sarver was trying to get his players to impregnate strippers just so that they would have to stay in Phoenix long-term. Needless to say, his character isn’t exactly all world.

In the aftermath of this report, Draymond Green took to Twitter saying “But I was fined?? Lol smh” which is a reference to the time where he said on TNT that he wants to see Devin Booker out of Arizona. He was then asked about the comments by reporters, and as you will see down below, he already knew about them. Green noted that word is quick to get around these days and that he heard about it fairly soon after it happened. 

As for the Suns, they are now being subjected to an investigation, which is certainly bad news for Sarver and his executive staff. In fact, Sarver could very well end up like Donald Sterling if the league finds damning evidence.

Fans expected Summer Walker to put all of her feelings about her breakup with London On Da Track into her music, but not everyone was ready for Still Over It. The former couple once touted their romance on social media for all to see and London even acted as executive producer of Summer’s debut studio album, Over It. The record topped the charts and the singer’s team is hoping that this latest effort will do the same.

As Summer remains a trending topic, there have been plenty of reactions to her lyrical content on her new album. She has made it clear that she has moved on from her relationship with London, but her fans are seemingly living out Summer’s experiences through her music. London suggested that he hasn’t even been aware of the record’s release.

“Lol [sideways crying laughing emojij] just woke up what happened … [thinking emojis][sideways crying laughing emojis],” he wrote to his Instagram Story. “Oh sh*t album out [crying laughing emoji] I’m just glad to be an inspiration keep streamin!!” He wasn’t the only famous person to react to the record, as Young Thug seems to have a bone to pick with Walker.

On her track “4th Baby Mama,” Summer croons about London, the father of her daughter: “Now what’s the point in keep on having kids? / If she just gone be raising them, that’s just pure laziness / Ion get it is you tryna keep up with Thug? Is you racing him? / Crazy how you really think that sh*t’s cute, be embracing it, oh.”

Thugger didn’t know what he had to do with the drama and playfully posted a photo of himself giving the middle finger. “Summer walker f*ck u lol,” Thug penned over the photo. Check out the posts and Summer Walker’s “4th Baby Mama” below.

It has been a very rough year for tennis star Naomi Osaka. It all started at the French Open when she decided that she wasn’t going to do media availability. She felt as though the media made her too anxious and she was simply protecting her mental health. After being fined for this, Osaka dropped out of the French Open and eventually dropped out of Wimbledon as well.

From there, she had a disappointing showing at the Olympics and after a third-round exit in the US Open, she decided that she would be taking a prolonged break from tennis. Things were beginning to spiral for her and it was clear that tennis simply wasn’t at the top of her mind. Needless to say, the break was very much necessary if she wanted to get back to her old habits of winning.

Recently, Osaka came back to practice and she decided to post about it on social media. As she notes in her post below, it was a bit hard to get back out there after some extended time off, although she appears to be excited about what’s next for her career. It also seems as though she got a ton of support from her fans throughout this rough patch.

“Kinda rusty but feels good to be back,” Osaka said. “I really want to say thank you everyone for all the kind messages, I really appreciate it.”

With Grand Slams starting back up in 2022, Osaka will have a golden opportunity to prove to the world that she’s still one of the best at what she does.

The internet has been lit with headlines pertaining to Kanye West’s wild Drink Champs interview. The rapper sat down for the first time since releasing Donda to chop it up with Noreaga and DJ EFN about all of his scandals, controversies, and career moments. There were several takeaways from the complete conversation, and we’ve been highlighting many of those moments here on HNHH.

A controversy that Ye has been embroiled in has been his relationship with Marilyn Manson after the shock-rocker appeared alongside West at his Donda listening event in Chicago. Later, Manson also joined Ye and Justin Bieber for an intimate prayer at Sunday Service, but the public vilified the rapper for giving an even greater platform to Manson.

In recent years, Manson has been hit with accusations from several women who have accused him of sexual assault, rape, sexual battery, and holding them against their will. There are lawsuits set against him and as litigation is ongoing, Manson has denied any wrongdoing. Kanye spoke about the backlash he has received for aligning himself with Manson, biting back at Cancel Culture.

“All the Me Too… like, when I sit next to Marilyn Manson and DaBaby right after both of them got canceled, for five songs, you know, it’s like they can’t cancel us all,” Ye explained. “They’ll hit you with the accusations of somebody who you was with 10 years ago. And also, there’s women who’ve been through really serious things, pulled in alleys against their will – that’s different than a hug, but it’s classified as the same thing.”

“It’s power and politics. You know, power-hungry maniacs and just control. This is 1984 mind control we’re in.” Check out Kanye’s Drink Champs interview in full below. Also, make sure to check out our article: Top 7 Shots Kanye West Fired During His “Drink Champs” Appearance.

Russell Westbrook has had his fair share of struggles since joining the Los Angeles Lakers this season. While he does have flashes of brilliance, he tends to give up a lot of turnovers and it has made the Lakers hard to watch. This was certainly true last night as the Lakers gave up a 19-point lead, allowing the Oklahoma City Thunder to come back and win the game. It was the Lakers’ second loss to the Thunder this season, and the Lakers remain the only team that OKC has actually beaten.

While Russ did notch 27 points, his performance in the dying minutes was lackluster, and many Lakers fans were upset with what they were seeing. Today, Russ’ play was scrutinized by all of the TV analysts, including Skip Bayless who made sure to let his feelings be known on the matter.

Skip has been a harsh critic of Russ so far this season, and he didn’t stop today as he stated that Russ is in the midst of ruining the purple and gold.

“As I predicted, this won’t work! There’s no Bron, it was Russ’ time to shine and he played out of control. A turnover machine with low basketball IQ,” Skip wrote. “Bottom line: Russell Westbrook is killing your Los Angeles Lakers.”

This is an opinion shared by many right now, although it doesn’t mean things won’t get better for the Lakers. They are a team full of superstars, and it won’t be long before they figure things out. If they can’t, however, than this experiment will go down as a failed one.

Throughout LeBron James’ time with the Miami Heat, he was able to drop some of his best silhouettes with Nike. Among the most beloved from that era were the Nike LeBron 7, Nike LeBron 8, and the Nike LeBron 9. Over the past year, we have seen a plethora of Nike LeBron 8 retros make it to the market, and today, we found out that the “Watch The Throne” LeBron 9 would also be released to the masses. Now, a wave of LeBron 9 colorways are being introduced, including the “South Coast” model which can be found down below.

As you can see, the base color for this shoe is black, although as the name would suggest, there are plenty of colorful tones to be found here as blues, greens, and pinks are found throughout. This shoe has some very real “South Beach” vibes to it and Miami Heat fans will certainly be interested in copping a pair.

There is no release date for this shoe right now, so keep it locked to HNHH as we will be sure to bring you all of the latest updates on these, as soon as they become available. As always, let us know what you think, in the comments section below.

If you don’t want any light spoilers for the latest Marvel movie, Eternals, you won’t want to read this article. The star-studded film finally hit theatres this Friday and its already got viewers divided on how to feel. One scene in particular seems to be sparking major debate online, in which Sersi (Gemma Chan) and Ikaris (Richard Madden) have sex.

If you’re a Marvel Cinematic Universe super fan, you likely already know that the franchise has avoided including too many intimate moments in its films, and up until now, love making scenes were totally left out. However, director Chloé Zhao felt that she couldn’t “tell a mature love story” without some sort of penultimate romantic moment.

“It’s lovely to see two people show physical affection for each other – a kiss, make love. [Gemma and Richard did] such a great job…It’s very tasteful. You can feel the genuine love they have for each other,” the Best Director winner told Variety.

Zhao may be sold on her decision, but all of Twitter isn’t – yet, anyway. “Eternals was great. All new characters in the movie was presented great and didn’t feel rushed. The sex scene was awkward and not necessary,” one viewer shared. “I can’t believe Eternals has a sex scene and Disney released it only five days into No Nut November,” someone else joked.

On the other hand, some people are in support of the controversial scene. “Eternals sex scene was pretty tame but it’s better than nothing. Blockbusters should be h*rny again,” one person wrote. 

At the time of publication, the film is sitting at a 49% Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes while also boasting an audience score of 86%, showing that’s there’s major disparity between critics and fans who have seen Eternals so far.

Do you have plans to check out Chloe Zhao’s latest endeavour, or are you skipping out on the “awkward” sex scene?

A$AP Rocky is always on the cutting edge of clothing and jewelry. 

From the time he exploded onto the scene in 2011 until right now, Rocky has been a major pillar at the intersection of hip-hop and fashion. Working directly with labels like Pyrex and Been Trill early in his career, while popularizing high-end designers like Raf Simons and Rick Owens, the Testing rapper’s influence is undeniable, even considering his Osiris D3-inspired Under Armour sneaker.

Recently, Rocky wore a quilt as a cape to the 2021 Met Gala, and gave the bandana off his head to a fan complaining of a bad hair day. And following a celebratory week honoring the re-release of his debut mixtape, Live.Love.A$AP on digital streaming platforms, Rocky showed an insane new grill.

Connecting with @grillzjewelz_is_right (who Drake follows on IG), Rocky was blessed with a diamond-encrusted grill, covered in legitimate flames made from more red, yellow and orange jewels. In the videos shared by grillzjewelz_is_right, there are so many diamonds and other precious stones implanted in the grill that it literally never stops shimmering. 

Rocky, who debuted the fronts in an Instagram post captioned, “4EVA GRATEFUL 4EVA GRATEFUL,” has been quick to express his gratitude within the last week. 

Before fans flooded New York City’s Canal St. for a pop-up shop celebrating ten years of Live.Love.A$AP, Rocky shared a heartfelt message about what the mixtape meant to him, and what it means to him now.

“10 YEARZ IN DI$!!! A CRAZY JOURNEY. FROM HOPPIN TRAINS WIT YAM$ ,DA UP$ & DOWN$, DA HUGZ, DA PUNCHE$, DA LAUGH$, DA TEAR$, DA HI’$ & LOW$.,” Rocky said. “FROM DA $TA$H HOU$E 2 DA LATE NIGHT$ AT DA $TUDIO$ WIT NO CHICKEN , DI$ PROJECT WA$ HOW DA WORLD FIR$T HEARD WHO ROCKY IZ WHO JODYE IZ WHO FLACKO IZ. 4EVA GRATEFUL 4 ALL DA FANZ & FAMILY WHO’VE GROWN WIT ME DI$ IZ 4 Y’ALL. LIVE LOVE A$AP 10 YEAR ANNIVER$ARY OUT 2MRW ON $TREAMIN PLATFORMZ FINALLY!!!. RIP EA$T $IDE $TEVE EEE!”

While there was initial disappointment that two fan-favorites, “Kissin’ Pink” and “Out Of This World,” would not included on the tape’s re-release, Rocky did include one new bonus track, “Sandman,” and after paying tribute to the late A$AP Yams throughout the record, it was only right for Flvcko Jodye post a pic of his new grill on IG like it’s 2013 again. 

Take a closer look at Rocky’s “Flame” grill below and let us know what you think in the comments.
