One of the most tight-knit record labels in the music industry is the Atlanta-based YSL Records, spearheaded by Young Thug. The label boasts a lineup of artists, including Gunna, Lil Keed, Nechie, Lil Duke, Yak Gotti, Strick, and many others. Whenever one of YSL Records’ artists releases a new project or celebrates a birthday, Young Thug is always quick to show love, as evidenced by the expensive gift that he just gave to Lil Keed in honor of his 23rd birthday.

In pictures and videos that surfaced from Lil Keed’s birthday party, it was revealed that Young Thug gifted Lil Keed the brand new 2021 Ford Mustang Mach-E truck in a sleek, glossy grey color.  Ford’s groundbreaking new zero-emissions electric crossover isn’t even set to release until later this summer, and according to Ford’s website, the Mach-E truck’s prices will start at nearly $43,000.

As previously reported by HipHopDX, Lil Keed could barely keep his eyes off the gleaming vehicle as his party guests gathered around him to capture the special moment with photos and videos. In another post, Keed is seen giving fans an up-close look at his new whip, from its flash exterior to its luxury interior. In the video, he’s heard saying that the ‘Stang Truck is “only for a player,” so it’s safe to say that he’s feeling the birthday gift from his beloved mentor and fellow YSL artist.

Ever since Deshaun Watson requested a trade from the Houston Texans a few months ago, it became quite clear that the team needed to move forward and come up with a plan for the future. You can’t win in the NFL without an elite quarterback and while these players are hard to come by, the Texans are at least trying to get some depth at the QB position.

Recently, the team decided to sign Tyrod Taylor to a one-year contract, and at this point, it seems like he would be the most obvious choice to be the starting quarterback given his experience. Now, however, the Texans have made yet another move, except this time around they are going after the likes of Ryan Finley. According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the Bengals and Texans recently agreed to the deal.

This move comes in the midst of the numerous sexual assault allegations that are being brought up against Watson. Watson is being sued by seven women and it appears as though two more could be coming forward. This is a tricky situation for the Texans, who were already dealing with Watson’s desires to leave the team.

Over the course of the coming weeks, the Texans are expected to make more moves, so keep it locked to HNHH for all of the latest information.

It appears that President Joe Biden may be slipping up in the public’s eye. This week, multiple White House staffers were reportedly fired or demoted for being marijuana users. This time, however, the stumble was literal, as Biden was caught tripping several times while walking briskly up the steps of an Air Force One in a new video.

Biden, with his hand on the railing, tripped twice before taking a third and final, seemingly, hard tumble as he went up the steps of the aircraft, which was ready for takeoff at Joint Base Andrews. 

Once he was able to get back on his feet, the 78-year-old dusted his knee off and in his final attempt made it to the top of the steps, seemingly without a scratch, although it’s unclear from afar. After a subtle salute, Biden headed inside the craft and set off to Georgia.

While the tumble did appear serious, White House communications director Kate Bedingfield let everyone know Biden was perfectly fine on Twitter.  

“I know folks have seen that President Biden slipped on his way up the stairs to AF1, but I’m happy to report that he is just fine and did not even require any attention from the medical team who travels with him,” she tweeted. 

The flight the POTUS boarded is set to take him and Vice President Kamala Harris to Atlanta to meet with the Asian community, in light of the tragic mass shooting that took place at spas and massage parlors leaving eight people, including six Asian women, dead.

Lil Mama is doubling down on her recent transphobic comments, claiming that she’s starting a “heterosexual rights movement” to defend herself against “LBGTQ bullying”.

Heterosexual people have not historically been discriminated against or oppressed. Nor are they currently being attacked for living their truths. On the other hand, members of the LGBTQIA2+ community are regularly bullied, abused, assaulted, and even killed for how they identify. In recent years, abuse rates against transgender people have skyrocketed, especially among Black trans women. Lil Mama recently compared transgender children to cats and dogs, making an extremely transphobic remark that she continued to support throughout the week. On Thursday, the rapper decided to double down even further, announcing that she’s starting a “heterosexual rights movement” to protect herself against “LGBTQ bullying”.

“I’m about to start a heterosexual rights movement,” wrote the rapper on Instagram. “Anti-LGBTQ BULLYING. Y’all fight so hard to be respected and SOME of you, NOT ALL, get a kick out bullying people for having an option, how they dress, how their hair and or make up looks, how much money they have, etc. There are so many people afraid to give their honest opion because if they do, the LGBTQ+ will hear what they want to hear and take statements out of context.”

Lil Mama went on to argue that she doesn’t need to “prove [herself]” by reminding people that she has loved ones who identify within the LGBTQ+ community, despite the fact that she’s clearly been trying to prove a point all week unsuccessfully.

The rapper is earning all kinds of backlash for her latest comments, as well as her earlier statements. Perhaps she should consider simply issuing an apology to the people she offended and educating herself on LGBTQ+ people’s rights.

Pooh Shiesty previously waged war with his fellow Memphis native, rapper EBG EJizzle, claiming responsibility for his shooting and telling his followers that he became paralyzed from the attack. Quickly thereafter, EBG EJizzle took to social media to prove that he’s not actually paralyzed, moving his limbs fine. 

With the tragic death of Pooh Shiesty’s brother Tee Da P from brain cancer, the “Back In Blood” artist has been mourning with multiple posts on social media. Using the situation to rub salt in Pooh’s wounds, EBG EJizzle has officially released his new record, “Paralyzed”, which takes aim at Pooh and his brother, calling Tee Da P a snitch. 

Two weeks removed from his hospitalization, EBG EJizzle isn’t slowing down at all, keeping Pooh Shiesty in his head for his new diss track. The rapper states in the song that his shooter could have shot him in the head, but opted to aim at his arm. He also taunts Pooh and says, “that snitching sh*t run in your blood, your brother testified”. 

There isn’t much information available about Tee Da P allegedly testifying. 

Pooh Shiesty has not responded publicly to EBG EJizzle.

What do you think about this beef? Should Pooh Shiesty ignore it?
