Lil Nas X has made waves with his “MONTERO” music video and people are extremely angered by his use of Satan and any sort of devilish imagery. The Twitter Christians have been in a shambolic state for the last couple of days now and it doesn’t seem like they will be looking to stop anytime soon. The Illuminati conspiracies are in full swing, and Lil Nas X is loving every single second of it.

His MSCHF x Nike Air Max 97 “Satan’s Shoe” collaboration has also been catching eyes as of late, especially with the fact that the midsole will have a drop of blood in it. There are only 666 pairs in circulation, and many are worried about the curses they will put on people. As a result of the backlash, Lil Nas X decided to troll fans with a bit of an apology.

As you can see, Lil Nas X starts out with a sincere tone although he eventually cuts to the scene in his music video where he seduces the devil. It was the modern-day equivalent to a rickroll and we’re sure all of his haters and fellow HNHH commenters will be upset to their core over this. 

At this stage, Lil Nas X really doesn’t care what people have to say, and we doubt he’ll be changing this mentality, anytime soon.

Charlamagne tha God’s entire media personality almost relies on his knack for controversial opinions. Never needing validation from the masses to vocalize exactly what he thinks, his “call it how I see it” attitude has often landed him in hot water. Most recently, he and actor LaKeith Stanfield engaged in a public beef after Charlamagne made some shady comments about him. Taking a less raunchy stance this time, when asked about who he thinks would be the winner in a Verzuz battle between Rihanna and Beyoncé, the acclaimed radio personality crowned Rihanna the hypothetical victor.

“I don’t know if you’re ready to have this discussion bro, you’re the type of person who’s not ready for these discussions,” prefaced television personality Andrew Schulz.

“Beyoncé vs. Rihanna,” asks Schulz, to which Charlamagne confidently declares, “Rihanna.” This declaration earned approval from Schulz, while another guest on the show vehemently disagreed. 

“And I love Beyoncé,” assures Charlamagne. “It’ll be a great one though, that’s a dream Verzuz, that’s PayPerView. If Rihanna and Beyoncé did a Verzuz on PayPerView, I would pay fight prices. 

“Wait, for it though, wait for it, if they’re allowed to perform, Beyoncé blows her out the water,” said Schulz, to which Charlamagne agreed. “If it’s just songs, Rihanna,” he declares comparatively, further defending his stance by adding she just has better songs.  

The lone naysayer held that Beyoncé has the better catalog, but that was not enough to convince Schulz or Chalamagne that Bey would come out on top should they hit the Verzuz stage.

This conversation echoes dialogue on social media that has been going on about the hypothetical battle, with opinions almost evenly split. What’s your take? Rihanna or Bey? Let us know down in the comments. 

Kevin Durant has always been one of the most criticized players in the entire NBA, and it hasn’t always been for the most justified reasons. After losing to the Golden State Warriors in the 2016 Western Conference Finals, he decided to join the Warriors in free agency, which led to a whole lot of hate. Eventually, KD won two championships with that Warriors team, and now, he is on the Brooklyn Nets which is arguably stronger.

Yesterday, the team signed LaMarcus Aldridge, and with Kyrie Irving, James Harden, and Blake Griffin on the team, it’s clear that this team should be going all the way to the NBA Finals. As a result, some fans have been taking to Twitter to roast KD, with some saying that he has ruined the NBA. In typical KD fashion, Durant made sure to respond to every single one of these fans.

“I’ll NEVER be able to do anything that I really want to do on earth, by myself,” KD told one fan. He then told other fans not to tell him what to do on Twitter, as some suggested that he should probably put his phone down. Needless to say, it was classic KD behavior and we loved every single second of it.

However, if the Nets don’t win it all this year, the KD slander is going to be something to behold.

Chloe and Halle Bailey have quickly become everyone’s favorite sibling duo. Known by their stage name and recognized for their powerhouse musical abilities as Chloe x Halle, both halves of the group have gone on to cement their individual celebrity. Chloe Bailey has become social media’s sweetheart, blessing the audience periodically with stunning snaps and beautiful covers. Halle Bailey, who turned 21 years old yesterday (March 27), has been busy filming The Little Mermaid in London. Big sister Chloe took some time on her sister’s big day to send her warm wishes.

“My Halle,” Chloe began affectionately. She continued, “thank you for always putting up with my silly ways, always being a listening ear, and always having my back. i will always protect you. happy birthday you beautiful being.”

She paired the sweet message with snaps of the pair when they were just toddlers, including one where Chloe is feeding her younger sister a bottle. In the pictures depicting the sisters much younger, their age difference is much more visible, shocking many who still thought they were twins. 

“y’all ain’t twins???” wrote one person underneath the birthday dedication. The mass belief that the two were twins was enough to provoke 22-year-old Chloe to respond directly in a separate tweet.  

Laughing along with people, she jokingly wrote, “i’m laughing at how y’all are so shocked that we’re not twins,” with tons of laughing emojis. She added, “this happens every year lol.” 

Chloe will be turning 23 this summer, while younger sister Halle just become of drinking age over the weekend. Happy Birthday to Halle! 

Boosie Badazz had Instagram ablaze last night after footage of the rapper slapping a man across the face went viral. It turns out that it was only for a video shoot but just days prior, Boosie did put out a casting call for someone who was willing to get slapped in the face for $554. Boosie really did slap the hell out of the man but it was all love after the video shoot ended.

Unfortunately, the clip may have played a role in why Boosie’s IG page vanished. Apparently, the rapper didn’t end up deleting his Instagram account as many people believed was the case. It was Instagram that ultimately suspended his account, again. Now, Boosie is no stranger to being kicked off the ‘Gram. Last year, his IG Live got pretty X-Rated which prompted the social media site to ban his account. 

Boosie hasn’t seen any success in retrieving his old account, even after threatening to file a lawsuit against Mark Zuckerberg. Despite the many attempts to get in contact with the social media mogul, it seems that Mark Zuckerberg is out of reach for the Louisiana legend. This morning, Boosie took to Twitter where he put Zuckerberg on blast. “@zuck u just a racist,” he tweeted. Boosie certainly isn’t the first person to make this remark towards Zuckenberg, nor will he be the last but we can only hope that Boosie’s IG saga comes to an end in the near future. 

Jumpman is set to have a massive 2021 and it has already provided some great shoes to start off the year. One capsule of sneakers that people have had their eyes on is the “To My First Coach” collection, which is set to provide some colorful offerings to the market. Well, recently, the Air Jordan 1 Mid was added to the list, and you can actually see the official images for the new model, below.

Perhaps the most obvious detail here is the gold Wings logo which says “To My First Coach.” As for the rest of the sneaker, we have white side panels and a white Nike swoosh on the outside, all while the tongue and the laces are white, as well. From there, the toe box is a shade of grey, with some pastel blue bordering it on the edge. Yellow overlays then come up the sides, all while the back heel and cuff are orange. This colorful mix leads to a unique aesthetic, that should leave fans excited for the eventual release.

No date has been set for these, although they will be a women’s exclusive, so only small feet will be able to get into them. As always, keep it locked to HNHH for all of the latest updates from the sneaker world.

This season has been massive for the New York Knicks who continue to win and put themselves in position for a playoff appearance. It’s hard to believe this is the case considering where the team was just a year ago, although their roster is filled with solid talent who truly believe in the program that is being brought forth by Tim Thibodeau. For instance, last night, the Knicks defeated the Milwaukee Bucks to bring their record to 24-22.

Unfortunately, the Knicks lost out on a player as Mitchell Robinson fractured his foot. Robinson came back from a fractured hand recently, which makes this new injury that much more devastating. After the game, Robinson took to Twitter to describe how he felt about it all.

“Been taking a beating all year long smfh,” he wrote. The injury also came as a bit of a surprise to the likes of Derrick Rose who is Robinson’s teammate. In fact, Rose learned of the injury while being interviewed on Live TV after the game, and he seemed to be quite shaken up by the news.

This is obviously a disappointing setback for Robinson, although he has the Knicks fans behind him, which will certainly make the recovery process a bit more bearable.
