Australian rapper Iggy Azalea doesn’t always put her family on the camera but when she does, it’s always a priceless moment. Iggy hits up her Instagram page with some super adorable footage of her and ex-boyfriend Playboi Carti’s baby boy Onyx having some indoor fun. There’s no sign of Playboi but it’s not enough to […]
Fat Joe reportedly contacted Biz Markie’s wife, Tara Hall, every week since the late “Just a Friend” rapper was hospitalized, last year, to check-in. Hall confirmed Joe’s commitment to the legendary rapper while speaking with TMZ, following Markie’s passing.
Hall says that Joe also has repeatedly offered to cover any costs during his hospital stay, and now, any memorial or funeral costs. She has consistently declined but appreciates the offers all the same.
Doug E. Fresh, Big Daddy Kane, and Treach also would routinely check in to see how Markie and she were doing as well, according to Hall.
Markie passed away last week at the age of 57, his rep Jenni Izumi confirmed on Friday.
“We are grateful for the many calls and prayers of support that we have received during this difficult time,” Izumi said in a statement to Rolling Stone. “Biz created a legacy of artistry that will forever be celebrated by his industry peers and his beloved fans whose lives he was able to touch through music, spanning over 35 years. He leaves behind a wife, many family members and close friends who will miss his vibrant personality, constant jokes and frequent banter. We respectfully request privacy for his family as they mourn their loved one.”

Billie Eilish has quickly become one of the biggest stars on the planet and at the end of the month, she will be launching a brand new album that her fans have been clamoring for. She has dropped a plethora of singles to help promote this project, and when it comes to some of her other endeavors, we have received a steady stream of information. Of course, we are mainly talking about her upcoming collaboration with Jordan Brand which will see her work on the Air Jordan 1 KO and the Air Jordan 15.
As for the Jordan 1 KO, there have been various teasers of this shoe over the last couple of months, and now, we have some fresh new images from Instagram user Chris Colgan. In the posts below, you can see how this shoe maintains the highlighter yellow aesthetic that has been teased as of late. The shoe is definitely a bold statement although this is the type of thing one would come to expect from Eilish and her stylistic choices.
For now, the shoe is slated to drop on September 9th although this date is subject to change. Keep it locked to HNHH as we will continue to bring you the latest updates on these. Also, be sure to participate in the poll, down below.

The past month has been busy for Cardi B. Towards the end of June, she popped up at the BET Awards and revealed that she is pregnant again. Then, a few days ago, she hopped on Normani’s new single, “Wild Side.” Now she has brought those two events together in a new Twitter video.
Cardi begins the clip lip-syncing Normani’s hook while wearing a green mesh outfit. When it comes time for Cardi’s verse, everything changes. The scene shifts to Cardi sitting on a black box and wearing a leather bikini, which offers a good look at her baby bump.
Your turn @normani

After the original “Wild Side” video dropped, Cardi declared that had she not been pregnant, the visual would have looked a lot different. She tweeted, “If I wasn’t pregnant I would of done a lit ass pole video to wildside ….but I am so imma just have to do a video rolling on the floor like peppa pig.”
Also recently, Cardi showed off how she was able to hide her baby bump for so long by demonstrating with a video that made clever use of angles.
Check out the “Wild Side” clip above.
Cardi B is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
Aaliyah’s uncle, Barry Hankerson, who also managers her catalog, says it would have been “more honorable” if Normani asked permission to sample his niece, but that he is still supportive of the track, “Wild Side.”
Speaking with TMZ, Tuesday, he explained that Aaliyah “always encouraged young women pursuing their musical and entertainment careers, to achieve their dreams.”
“I believe that Aaliyah would be very supportive of a young Black woman that chose to emulate her music and style,” he added.
Though it has not been explicitly confirmed by Normani herself, many believe the song contains a sample of Aaliyah’s “One in a Million.” Normani did respond to a video of Timbaland, who produced “One in a Million,” singing along to the track, and didn’t deny the use of an Aaliyah sample.
Normani’s team, on the other hand, has told TMZ that it is not a direct sample of Aaliyah’s iconic track.
“I will not stand in the way of something that brings to light the incredible staying power of Aaliyah,” Hankerson added. “So in that light, wishing Normani well with the song and overall career. God bless. I think Aaliyah would be pleased.”

It would appear as if the long-awaited release of Kanye West’s tenth studio album DONDA is arriving as early as this week. Expectations point to Friday, though Ye has never been the most traditional in his approach. Yet perhaps we’re seeing some semblance of a normal rollout from the polarizing hip-hop titan, who has been lining up listening events in the days before the drop.
This Thursday, Ye is set to stage a listening event at Atlanta’s Mercedes Benz Stadium; interested parties can secure tickets right here. Yet fear not if you can’t make it, as it would appear that Kanye may very well be looking to tour this album long term.
According to a since-deleted post from longtime Kanye collaborator Consequence, the Donda Experience is slated to go down at Rolling Loud Miami this weekend, on Sunday, July 25th.
To be fair, Consequence has deleted all traces of the announcement, which is hardly concrete. Still, it’s clear that Kanye’s upcoming album is on the way, and early reports seem to point to a return to form of sorts. Those who actually heard the album have teased guest appearances from Lil Baby, Travis Scott, Westside Gunn, Playboi Carti, and more. A recent report claims that Kanye also rapped about “escaping from Calabasas,” a place he willingly lived for years.
At this point, it’s evident that DONDA is coming, and Yeezy will be bringing his new material to the stage. At least to an extent; it’s unclear as to whether or not the megastar has any intention of staging a lengthy tour at this stage. We’ll have to wait and see. In the meantime, check out a preserved copy of Consequences’ initial announcement below.
Safaree Samuels has been accused by his estranged wife Erica Mena of neglecting her and their newborn baby, leaving town to go party in Miami as their child stayed in the NICU for the first days of their life. Judging from Safaree’s reaction upon hearing that he was having another baby with his wife, which aired during last night’s episode of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, it shouldn’t be too surprising that the reality star has been paying little attention to his newborn.
On Monday’s episode of the show, Safaree learned that Erica Mena was twenty-three weeks pregnant with their child. Erica showed her husband an ultrasound on her phone before he looked up with a blank expression, asking her straight-up if she was pregnant. “We’re pregnant,” she corrected him before Safaree looked to be visibly distraught over the news. It took him a while to say anything meaningful before he opened up and complained that he didn’t want to have another baby.
Erica has been bouncing back from her pregnancy after giving birth, but she appears to be entering a new stage in her life, filing for divorce from Safaree (can you blame her after watching this video?) and becoming a single co-parent to their two children.
Hopefully, Safaree takes care of his babies. Watch the clip below.
Aaron Rodgers is one of the greatest quarterbacks of all-time and when all is said and done, there is no denying that he will be headed to the Hall of Fame. Unfortunately, the last couple of years have been disappointing for Rodgers as he has failed to reach the Super Bowl despite coming extremely close. With a lack of weapons at his disposal, Rodgers has grown tired of the Packers front office and this has been exacerbated even more by the fact that the Packers took quarterback Jordan Love with their first-round pick in 2020.
Rodgers has yet to attend Packers training camp and his holdout has been one of the biggest stories in the NFL. The quarterback hasn’t given a timeline on his return and for the most part, he has been extremely cryptic about everything that has been going on.
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Packers tried to fix the Rodgers situation by throwing some money at the problem. The NFL insider claims Rodgers was offered a two-year extension and that it was worth so much money that the QB would be paid more than Patrick Mahomes, who currently makes upwards of $50 million per year. Needless to say, the Packers want to keep Rodgers on the roster.
As Schefter noted, Rodgers ended up declining this money as his grievances go well beyond what he is being paid. For now, it seems like it is all a respect thing, and only time will tell what happens with the QB, moving forward.
Keep it locked to HNHH and let us know in the poll below whether or not you think Rodgers will start for the Packers this season.
Tory Lanez shouted out DaBaby during a recent freestyle on Hot 97 and also claimed that he was framed in the alleged shooting of Megan Thee Stallion. Megan has previously said that Lanez shot her in the feet after a party in the Hollywood Hills on July 12th, 2020.
“Shoutout to DaBaby, Roddy Ricch, and Lil Baby/What I’m about to say is gonna sound a little crazy/But it’s true so don’t play me/Y’all all would’ve got your awards if they didn’t frame me,” he raps in the clip.
Lanez’s shoutout of DaBaby comes as the “Suge” rapper has been beefing with Megan for his “SKAT” collaboration with Lanez. Megan and DaBaby traded blows on social media and eventually unfollowed each other. They had previously worked together on a number of hits including “Cash Sh*t,” “Nasty,” “Cry Baby,” and more.
This isn’t the first time that Lanez has claimed he’s been framed for the shooting in his bars. On his 2020 album, Daystar, Lanez made the same accusation of Megan: “Megan people trying to frame me for a shooting/But them boys ain’t clean enough,” he rapped on the track “Money Over Fallouts.”
Check out Lanez’s new freestyle below.
