Deshaun Watson has been accused by three separate women of sexual assault. According to reports, all three of these women were masseuses who Watson hired for a massage. That’s when Watson allegedly got inappropriate with them. In fact, the third woman to file a lawsuit against Watson claims that he forced her to engage in oral sex with him. All of these lawsuits are being handled by a man named Tony Buzbee, and in a recent Instagram post, he claimed that there are nine women who have claims against Watson.

Now, the NFL has sent a letter saying they will officially investigate the claims. Lisa Friel is the NFL’s chief investigator and she will be handling this case. Friel has made it clear that she knows what is happening in regards to the Watson lawsuits and that she will be looking to interview the women, as well as Buzbee who has put himself at the center of the case.

These investigations have happened for the likes of Ezekiel Elliott and Antonio Brown, in the past. Both of those players were punished following an investigation although it remains to be seen what will happen with Watson, who is in the midst of a falling out with his own team.

This situation continues to develop so stay tuned as we will be sure to bring you all of the latest updates.

Virgil Abloh’s Off-White brand is one of the biggest entities in all of streetwear and he continues to make huge strides thanks to his role at Louis Vuitton. Over the last few years, Abloh has been primarily known for his work with Nike, including the impressive “Ten” collection which was released all the way back in 2017. Since that time, Virgil has continued to work with Nike and he has dropped some dope colorways of the Nike Dunk Low.

Now, it appears as though Virgil could be coming through with upwards of 50 new Dunk Low colorways. He recently denied the existence of a 20-piece collection, but now, Instagram sneaker insider @zsneakerheadz has reported the existence of a 50-piece collection. As you can see, the colorways are pretty well all the same, but with little variations depending on some factors mostly out of your control.

Via @zsneakerheadz:

“Off White x Nike Dunk Low will be releasing in 50 different colorways. The main differences will be the colors of the insoles, tongue, overlay laces, swoosh tab & number plate — but the upper will remain the same (Sail/Grey). Number “50 of 50” will be an all black colorway (pictured last slide). The colorway will vary depending on the number (and possibly size) you get.”

This seems like a pretty interesting collaboration and over the coming months, we will certainly find out more, so be sure to keep it locked to HNHH.

Earlier today, it was reported that Quavo and Saweetie recently unfollowed each other on Instagram, leading several people to believe that the young Hip-Hop couple has secretly broken up. Despite them being touted as “relationship goals” for quite a while now, many think that there may be trouble in paradise, especially considering the recent comments that Saweetie made about having a threesome during her guest appearance on Respectfully Justin with her ex-boyfriend Justin Combs and Instagram star Justin Laboy.

Regardless, much is still in the air regarding Quavo and Saweetie‘s official relationship status, yet that hasn’t stopped social media users from chiming in on their alleged romantic woes. From concerns about who will helm “Hot Girl Summer” this year to sincere condolences, Twitter users have been reacting to the news that one of Hip-Hop’s favorite couples is possibly calling it quits. 

More savage Twitter users, however, have taken this unexpected opportunity to shoot their shots at Saweetie, despite the fact that the breakup hasn’t even been confirmed yet. Regardless, in the wake of rumors saying that Quavo and Saweetie are no longer an item, many Twitter users have reacted with glee and relentless jokes.

Do you think that Quavo and Saweetie have really called it quits or are they probably just working through a rough patch?

Due to a recent rise in crime and violence against the Asian American community— itself seemingly a result of fear towards the COVID-19 pandemic and misguided beliefs about the disease– a senate Judiciary Committee hearing was recently called to address the uptick. During the hearing, Republican Representative of Texas’s 21st congressional district, Chip Roy recognized the tragic spa shooting that claimed the lives of six Asian women in Atlanta, saying the families “deserve justice,” in what started innocuously enough.

Roy started by affirming that “victims of race-based violence and their families deserve justice” before shifting gears, “I would also suggest that the victims of cartels moving illegal aliens deserve justice. The American citizens in south Texas, they are getting absolutely decimated by what’s happening at the southern border deserve justice. The victims of rioting and looting in the street… last summer deserve justice. We believe in justice,” he declared. 

He then seemingly attempted to provide a solution to the crime problem, by suggesting lynchings– or at least, reminiscing about them. “There an old sayings in Texas about ‘find all the rope in Texas and get a tall oak tree.’ You know, we take justice very seriously, and we ought to do that. Round u the bad guys. That’s what we believe,” the representative said.

Journalist Aaron Rupar shared the clip on his twitter, pointing out the fact that the Representative appeared to be glorifying lynchings, going viral in the process and stirring a debate on twitter.

California Democratic Representative Ted Lieu agreed with Rupar’s remarks, saying, “Chip Roy glorified lynching at a hearing on violence against Asians. The largest mass lynching in US history was against Chinese immigrants. I served on active duty in the US military to defend @chiproytx’s right to say stupid, racist stuff. I just wish he would stop saying it.”

Roy also used this time to criticize the Chinese government, “I think the Chinese Communist Party running the country of China, I think they are the bad guys,”  he admitted.

New York Democratic Representative Grace Meng shut down the statement.  “This hearing was to address the hurt and pain of our community and to find solutions. We will not let you take our voices from us.”

What do you may of Roy’s statements?
