One of the best Jumpman silhouettes of all time is the Air Jordan 4. While Tinker Hatfield knocked it out of the park the first time around with the Air Jordan 4, there is no denying that he made some unique improvements on the Air Jordan 4. Since the shoe came out in 1989, it has been a favorite amongst all of the fans out there and as a result, it has also been given a ton of great new colorways. In 2021, the Jordan 4 will be filled with dope new offerings and there will also be some women’s exclusives.

A great example of a women’s exclusive is this new “Shimmer” model which was recently unveiled by @zsneakerheadz on Instagram. As you can see below, the shoe has a beige, pink, and orange vibe to it which makes for some soft and feminine shading. The colors listed here are “Shimmer/Metallic Silver/Orange Quartz,” and overall, it’s definitely something different that hasn’t really been done on a shoe like the AJ4 before.

These are supposed to drop on September 3rd of this year although a lot can change by that time. If you are interested in grabbing a pair, keep it locked to HNHH as we will provide you will all of the most relevant release information.

Following the release of Cordae’s debut album The Lost Boy, many were quick to praise the young lyricist as one of the game’s most exciting new artists. Since then, Cordae has been hard at work perfecting his follow-up, taking a quick detour to tide fans over with the release of his Just Until EP. Interested parties can check out the four-song project, which features appearances from Young Thug and Q-Tip, right here.

Today, Cordae took a moment to share a key detail about his forthcoming studio album — the album title. “My next body of work is titled From a Birds Eye View,” writes Cordae, saying little else on the matter. When one fan noted that several of his recent singles featured cover art depicted from a bird’s eye view, Cordae validated the connection with a telling retweet.

Given that he only recently finished delivering an EP, it’s uncertain as to whether he’ll be looking to capitalize on the momentum with a quick follow-up, or bide his time and arrive when we least expect it. Either way, Cordae knows what he’s doing, and given how much respect he’s already garnered on the strength of one album, this next move could truly be a game-changer.

Insofar as guest appearances — we’ve already seen him working in the studio with Morray and J.I.D, so it’s entirely possible that they’ll pop up on From A Bird’s Eye View. Expect Cordae to shine further light on the project as the time of its release grows closer. Are you excited to see how he continues to evolve with another studio album? 

Bill and Melinda Gates officially announced that they were getting a divorce at the beginning of this week and people are already lining up to vy for their love. We recently reported on the Clermont Twins hoping to get lucky with Bill Gates, inviting him into a throuple. Now, it seems like Melinda Gates is also getting tons of attention with rappers hitting her up in the DMs.

After spending nearly three decades married to the same partner, Bill and Melinda likely won’t rush into a new relationship in the same week that they announce their divorce. However, you know what they say… the early bird gets the worm. Dallas rapper Yella Beezy used that adage to shoot his shot at Melinda.

“She need to have my baby,” he commented on a post from The Shade Room about Bill giving his soon-to-be ex-wife $2 billion in stocks on the same day they filed for divorce. Clearly, they’ve been thinking about divorce for a while, working on the allocation of their split funds.

Yella Beezy already has two children. Do you think Melinda Gates could potentially move on from her billionaire husband by having a kid with Yella Beezy? We definitely wouldn’t have expected that twist when the year started.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, rapper Action Bronson has made it a point to share his fitness goals with the world. The former chef has historically struggled with his weight, revealing that he was at his heaviest when he was about 400 pounds. The 37-year-old has lost 125 pounds already and it doesn’t look like his mission to get fit is stopping any time soon.

Keeping his fans updated with his workout regimen and his body transformation, the rapper recently shared a picture where his weight loss is arguably the most apparent. Sitting down on a chair, Bronson looked straight into the camera for the new picture, in which he looks pretty svelte. You can see that he’s been putting in a lot of effort, both in his diet and the gym. He looks muscular, strong, and healthy. Everyone in the comments is letting him know that he should be proud of himself for making such an important change in his life.

In December 2020, Action Bronson explained why he decided to shed the weight. “This journey started way long ago. I was born heavy. I was a heavy child. This transformation was long overdue,” he said. “There was a lot of shit like prediabetes, eczema, asthma, all kinds of f*cking dumb stuff that I had given myself. If I made something that was a big, round dish, I would eat the big, round dish. I wouldn’t just have one piece.”

Take a look at Action Bronson’s transformation below.

Deshaun Watson is currently in a massive legal battle as 22 women are in the midst of suing him for sexual assault. These women are all massage therapists who claim that Watson was inappropriate with them during an appointment. While Watson maintains he never assaulted the women, his lawyer Rusty Hardin has admitted that the football star had sexual relations with some of the therapists. The legal battle is still ongoing and his career is now up in the air.

Now, according to NFL Insider Jason La Canfora per 247Sports, there is a large chance that Watson will not get to play at all this season, pending his legal cases. La Canfora believes Watson will have to sit out to start the year and long-term, there is no guarantee he will actually be able to come back.

“I don’t think you’re going to see Deshaun Watson in an NFL building for a long time, certainly not until there’s more clarity about (it). This is a legal situation,” La Canfora explained. “This is a league situation. This is a civil situation. I don’t think Deshaun Watson has any short-term future playing football. Longterm, I think, will depend on these various findings and how some of the cases are adjudicated.”

Watson is being investigated by police and he’s also being investigated by the NFL. Depending on their findings, Watson could be in for a lengthy suspension, although there is no telling what will happen.

DJ Envy brought out the old photo albums for Instagram on Tuesday, to honor his mother in Law, Norma Grante. Norma and Envy met over 20 years ago when he and his now-wife Gia began dating in high school, according to the couple’s bit on OWN’s Behind Every Man.

Grante’s passing was sudden, shocking the couple who were on their way to the airport for a vacation. According to Envy, “just hours before we boarded, we got the worst call imaginable…”

The mother-son bond between the two is evident in the photos shared on Envy’s page. The first picture shows him escorting her on what appears to be her wedding day, followed by a home photo where the two both wear warm smiles. The final photo is of a young Gia and her mom smiling together.

In the caption, he recalls how Norma was one of the few people supportive of him in the early days of his DJ career stating, 

“This is extremely difficult to write… How do you tell your wife that everything is going to be alright, when her best friend is no longer here…? … I tell the story all the time about me choosing “Dj’ing” as my career”.. Everybody laughed and thought I was crazy, but not Gia’s mom…. Norma said, “Do what makes you happy & “f*ck everybody else. If there’s anything you need, just come to me”… Yesterday, Norma Grante passed away…. She was loving, ever supportive and such a major part of our lives and my career.. I Miss You And Will Always Love You…”

Gia, in mourning, has not yet made a post of her own, but friends and fans have flocked to her comments on old posts with support and condolences.

Another teaser for the highly anticipated fourth season of the hit Netflix show, Stranger Things, provides a cryptic glance into the new season. Eerie shots of children playing in hospital gowns sit perfectly against an echoey horror-esque soundtrack. Shots of an 8ball that says “Signs Point To Yes” and a disk-drop game that finds chips falling into slots numbered  4,7, and 8 are speculated to be possible clues pointing to the upcoming storyline.

The mysterious character ‘Papa’ is also re-introduced, as he’s seen walking into the playroom with a warm greeting from the children. The final dialogue in the one-minute clip is the line “Eleven are you listening?,” which then cuts abruptly to a shot of Eleven opening her eyes in shock. Garnered from the setting and details, it seems likely that the plot in the fourth season will take us back to Eleven’s origin story. Fans on social media are already in an excited frenzy, creating theories about what will happen in the next season.

Season three of Stranger Thingswas released on the Fourth of July in 2019, ending with a heartbreaking cliffhanger. Due to COVID-19, production of Season four was heavily stunted, pushing back production and release dates to two years later.

The first teaser was released this past Valentine’s Day. The newest teaser description lists ‘002/004’, hinting that two more teasers are set to come in the near future as the expected release date of 2022 approaches. 

Let us know what you think about the teaser in the comments, and any wild theories you might have.
