Tyson Fury Vs Deontay Wilder Fight In Jeopardy Due To COVID-19

by

Tyson Fury and Deontay Wilder were scheduled to fight each other for a third time on July 24th, although now, the fight could be in jeopardy. As many of you already know, these two fought to a draw in their first battle against each other, although in the rematch, it was Fury who came away with an easy win. Fury was set to take on Anthony Joshua to unify the heavyweight division, however, an arbitrator ruled that Fury had to fight Wilder for a third time, and now here we are.

According to ESPN, it is being reported that there has been a COVID-19 outbreak within Fury’s team, which ultimately puts him at risk. Having said that, there is a chance that we could see the fight get delayed until September. For now, no official decision has been made.

Via ESPN:

“No official determination has yet been made on whether the fight, set to be held at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and broadcast on ESPN+ PPV, will proceed as planned.

The fight is a joint pay-per-view with FOX, and that network has the Manny Pacquiao-Errol Spence Jr. PPV on Aug. 21, so it’s likely Fury-Wilder 3 would be moved to September, sources told ESPN.”

This is a situation that continues to develop, so keep it locked to HNHH for all of the latest updates. In the meantime, let us know who you think will win this fight, in the comments below.

LeBron James Compares Bronny To Himself With Side-By-Side Dunk Clip

by

Bronny James has been receiving a ton of attention as of late and it easy to see why. The eldest son of LeBron James is currently a member of FaZe Clan and he is also a high-level high school basketball player with Sierra Canyon. While he was mostly injured during his Sophomore season, Bronny has been able to get healthy, and how, he is playing summer ball all while his father watches him and coaches him from the stands.

Recently, Bronny came through with a huge steal and a dunk that had fans on their feet. It was reminiscent of a similar play his father made while playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers, and LeBron took notice. On Instagram, James posted side-by-side clips of each dunk, with the caption “Like father, like son.”

Needless to say, LeBron is a proud father and he truly believes his son has the potential to be great. Heading into his third year at Sierra Canyon, Bronny has an opportunity to take his game to the next level, and if he is able to accomplish that, then we could very well see him on a high-level college team by the time he turns 18 years old. 

With a father like LeBron at his side, there is no denying that he is constantly being given the keys to success. It will now be up to him and execute on everything he has learned.

ScHoolboy Q & Vince Staples Shined Together On 2016’s “Ride Out”

by

Five years ago today, ScHoolboy Q followed up the commercial success of 2014’s Oxymoron with the dark and introspective 17-track album Blank Face LP. Led by singles such as “Groovy Tony” and the Kanye West-assisted “That Part,” the TDE artist‘s fourth studio album lauded with critical acclaim, and it even earned him Grammy nominations for “Best Rap Album” and “Best Rap Performance.”

On the five-year anniversary of ScHoolboy’s revered 2016 full-length, it’s worth highlighting one of the project’s brighter songs. “Ride Out” features fellow West Coast rapper Vince Staples, and their spirited collaboration was definitely one for the books.

As seen above in the throwback tweet from ScHoolboy Q, Vince and the TDE artist have been friends and collaborators for several years now, despite them not having released a considerable amount of songs together. They first united on wax for “Back Sellin’ Crack” with Mac Miller in 2013, and “Ride Out” is another great example of their musical chemistry.

In honor of the anniversary of Blank Face LP, revisit ScHoolboy Q and Vince Staples’ underrated collaboration on “Ride Out” below. Five years after its release, what tracks from ScHoolboy’s fourth studio album do you still keep in rotation?

Quotable Lyrics

Cripping on my minibike (Oh), either hoop or selling white
Brillo pad, the smoker’s pipe, my pistol cocked, you tryna fight?
Say he wanna be a cuz, put his brains to the right
Bruh, this ain’t the eighties, man, niggas shooting everything
Everything, you know the gang we represent
Specialize in pistol grips, shooting out my mama’s whip
Always gotta empty clip, Top Dawg in this bitch
Niggas putting dicks inside your baby mama’s mama’s lips

Wale, who built his career on his social media presence, has announced that he’s taking a break from posting and perusing as usual as the result of an unknown illness on Instagram. Posting the message to his Instagram Story, he informed fans that “I am out of commission. I been extremely sick since Saturday. I’ve missed many calls and texts. Thank you to everybody who called wit genuine concern. I ain’t sure how long I’ll be down but this sh*t ain’t slight.”

However, he softened the blow of this concerning message, promising: “Soon as I can come back strong, I’ll be back strong. As for now, management will run my socials. Much love, see y’all soon.”

The news comes at an inopportune time for the DC rapper, who recently announced the impending release of his album Folarin 2, his seventh studio album and first full-length to drop since 2019’s Wow… That’s Crazy. Most recently, he appeared with Earthgang on their new single “Options,” as well as on its remix with Coi Leray, and promoted his own music with “Good Vibes” and the Gunna-featuring “Flawed.” Hopefully, his confidence and fans’ patience will pay off and he’ll get well soon.

Megan Fox Has A Message For People Questioning Her Age Gap With Machine Gun Kelly: ‘Go F*ck Yourself’

Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox truly have a way with words when it comes to describing their relationship. Kelly infamously wears a drop of her blood around his neck and Fox once said being in love with him is like “being in love with a tsunami or a forest fire.” But despite their very public displays of affection, Fox still has to constantly field critics who slam her for the age gap between them. Fox chalks it up to the patriarchy, but still has a explicit message for those carrying judgement: “Go f*ck yourself.”

Fox recently sat down for an in-depth interview with InStyle Magazine where she spoke about her recent career resurgence and the moment she decided to stop living in fear of critics. The conversation inevitably turned to her romance with Kelly, who was recently seen packing on the PDA with Fox after painting his tongue black at the Billboard Awards.

Fox says she is sometimes criticized for dating a younger man, which she labels as “ridiculous.” Fox is only four years older than Kelly, a fact she says wouldn’t ever be mentioned if the roles were reversed:

“You want to talk about patriarchy? The fact that he’s four years younger than me, and people want to act like I’m dating a younger man. He’s 31, and I’m 35. Granted, he’s lived like he’s 19 his whole life, but he isn’t 19. No one would blink twice if George Clooney was dating someone four years younger. Four years? Go f*ck yourself. We would have been in high school together. That’s so ridiculous that women are treated that way.”

The actress also says she has paparazzi questioning where her kids are, a question that her ex-husband is never asked. “You don’t expect a dad to be with the kids all the time, but I’m supposed to not be seen and be at home with my kids,” she said. “They have another parent. I have to leave and sometimes I don’t want them photographed and they don’t come with me. This whole year I’ve been very surprised by how archaic some of the mindsets still are in some people.”

Of course, Kelly also made an appearance in the InStyle interview. When asked about what Fox is like, the musician fired off another head-scratching compliment. “She’s like the earth,” he said. “When it’s summer, it’s the hottest summer. When it’s winter, it’s the most amazing chill. In the fall and spring, it’s a beautiful transition.”

Tyler, The Creator Shows Off His $500K Chain In “LEMONADE” Video

by

Bunny Hop returns with yet another music video from his new album Call Me If You Get Lost. The #1-charting album from Tyler, The Creator and DJ Drama has had more than a couple of music videos to complement Tyler’s vision, including “CORSO” and “JUGGERNAUT.” The latest track to receive a fresh set of visuals is “LEMONADE,” which sees Tyler (directed by his alter ego Wolf Haley) directing a tuba player before hopping into a boat and sailing through… the grass.

The strange video falls directly in line with Tyler’s vision for this album, keeping the visuals consistent throughout. Wearing a pink outfit with his $500,000 bellhop chain, the rapper showed off his diamonds after his “Waterfalls” lyric, giving the world a good view of his latest piece. 

The new video clocks in at under two minutes, featuring only Tyler’s verse from the song. 42 Dugg, who is featured on the album version, does not appear in the clip.

Watch “LEMONHEAD” above and let us know what you think.

Quotable Lyrics

Dark notions when a n*gga think
Somehow I got my eyes open when a n*gga blink
I remember rats in my kitchen sink
Dishes dirty, use the palm of my hands to get a drink
Now I’m rocking gold cuban links, the rolls looking pink
I was warring with the devil, now my medals wrote in ink
I done did the realest, n*ggas just like me might be extinct
I ain’t even get a ring but I was married to the streets

Japan Officially Bans Fans From The Summer Olympics

by

Over the last year or so, COVID-19 has put the Tokyo Olympics in jeopardy. Of course, the Games were delayed in 2020, and are now being played in just a few weeks from today. However, there were some fears that the Games would have to be canceled altogether as the Coronavirus was a massive crisis in Japan. For a few months, it seemed as though things had died down in Japan and that the Olympics would be able to go on without a hitch.

Unfortunately, there has been a change of plans as cases have skyrocketed in Japan. The country has declared a state of emergency, and today, they made the official decision to ban fans from all Olympic events. This means for the first time in history, the athletes will have to perform in empty stadiums.

We are living in unprecedented times right now so it only makes sense that the organizers would take every precaution possible to ensure the safety of the athletes. Coming to the Olympics remains a huge risk, and it will be interesting to see how things play out with the new protocols in mind.

Stay tuned for more news coming from the Olympic Games as we will be sure to bring that to you.
