Kanye West Blasts Kai Cenat In Instagram DMS Over His Free “VULTURES” Merch

by

After speaking on his relationship with Adin Ross, Ye is entering the circle of another, even more massive streamer: Kai Cenat. But unfortunately for both, it seems like things got off on the wrong foot in a way that might not resolve easily. Moreover, the Chicago artist and his team apparently sent the Bronx native a pack of free VULTURES merchandise, which he was very grateful for and appreciative of. However, he did point out that the sweatpants that they sent him were too large, albeit in quite the animated way. Then, it seems like, the “BURN” MC was not happy at all with this assessment.

“Don’t make no jokes about my clothes,” Ye wrote to Kai Cenat in an Instagram DM that he then shared on his IG Story. “When you ain’t saying nothing about what adidas is doing. When Vultures song came out you ain’t play my verse. You controlled. Don’t play with me.” “wtf I do ?” Kai responded, and the response he got was the clip of him complaining about the size of the pants. “The sweats didn’t fit would you like to hop on a call to explain? I reacted to your verse btw,” the 22-year-old responded. “I ain’t hopping no calls,” the Yeezy mogul clapped back. “You ain’t say nothing about adidas. But you making jokes about my s**t after these people tried to destroy and I’m pulling up out the dirt.”

Ye Disses Kai Cenat

“I hear you bro but ain’t no jokes was being said when I first opened up that package I showed love instantly,” Kai Cenat replied. “All I did was try on the sweats and it didn’t fit. No jokes made. I immediately asked for a new pair.” “So you ain’t do nothing wrong?” Ye asked him. “So I felt this way for no reason?” “YES,” Cenat responded bluntly. “F**k you n***a,” the VULTURES 2 artist remarked. “You was told to diss my s**t. You a pawn.” “Keep it family friendly no cursing,” the Twitch giant responded. “The pants Don’t Fit YE. You think someone told me something ? I’ll prove you wrong. AHHHH FUCK ADIDASS AHHHHH.”

Kai Speaks With Ye’s Manager John Monopoly

Then, Kai Cenat got a call from Ye’s manager, John Monopoly. They basically got to know each other a little bit, with Monopoly advocating for a peaceful resolution to this where they can understand each other and offering to be in New York ASAP to meet the streamer personally. While the young social media star was hesitant to meet so quickly, he did reciprocate the sentiment and remark that he will reflect the same energy that they give him. If you want to see his full reaction to all of this (and these messages in real time), check it out here. For more on Ye and Kai Cenat, stick around on HNHH.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Partners With Anti-Porn Group After Previous Support For Sex Workers

by

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is facing criticism after announcing a partnership with an anti-porn group. Earlier this week, Ocasio-Cortez announced her introduction of an anti-deepfake bill. However, the anti-porn lobby NCOSE was prominently featured in the statement. Per adult industry publication XBIZ, NCOSE is an organization that “seeks to criminalize all sex work and eradicate adult content, and that has an extensive, well-documented history of championing state censorship and opposing LGBTQ+ rights.”

Furthermore, many sex workers have noted that Ocasio-Cortez’s stance is contrary to her previous statements. In 2020, Ocasio-Cortez vocally supported sex workers. “Sex work is work. The federal gov has done almost nothing to help people in months. We must pass stimulus checks, UI, small biz relief, hospital funding, etc. Keep the focus of shame there, not on marginalizing people surviving a pandemic without help,” Ocasio-Cortez tweeted.

Pornhub Blocks Access In Texas Over Age Verification Law

Elsewhere, Aylo, the parent company of Pornhub, has blocked access to the popular pornography site to Texan users. The move comes in protest of a state age-verification law that was upheld in federal court. Texas becomes the seventh state to lose access to the litany of pornographic services owned by Aylo. Other sites blocked include YouPorn, Brazzers, Digital Playground, and RealityKings. Aylo has chosen to disable the website rather than comply with a highly restrictive and intrusive age verification law.

Furthermore, Texan users trying to access the site will instead find an open letter from Aylo rebuking the law, which was upheld in federal court last week. “Not only does this impinge on the rights of adults to access protected speech, it fails strict scrutiny by employing the least effective and yet also most restrictive means of accomplishing Texas’s stated purpose of allegedly protecting minors,” the letter reads in part. Furthermore, Alex Kekesi, VP of brand and community at Aylo, called the Texan law “ineffective, haphazard, and dangerous”.

South Carolina Star Becomes Steph Curry’s First NIL Signing

by

South Carolina freshman MiLaysia Fulwiley has become the first collegiate athlete to sign with Steph Curry’s NIL brand. Per the brand, Fulwiley will be an “ambassador” at the NCAA tournament later this month and will sport Curry-branded shoes for the rest of her collegiate career. Fulwiley was recently crowned MVP of the SEC tournament, the first freshman to capture the award.

Fulwiley is averaging 11.8/2.9/2.3 this season amid the Gamecocks’ second consecutive undefeated regular season. However, here solid contributions have been overshadowed by the outstanding seasons of USC’s Juju Watkins and Notre Dame’s Hannah Hildago. South Carolina will enter March Madness as the number one overall seed. However, in a rare move, they will be without star senior Kamilla Cardoso for their opening game. Cardoso is serving a one-game suspension for fighting in South Carolina’s title game against LSU.

Dr. Dre Reveals He Suffered Three Strokes Following 2021 Brain Aneurysm

by

Back in 2021, Dr. Dre woke up with “the worst pain” behind one of his ears, which he admits he initially brushed off. As his day went on, however, his son and a friend urged him to seek medical attention. Eventually, he went to the hospital, where he was told that his condition was “serious.” During a recent appearance on SiriusXM’s This Life of Mine with James Corden, the Grammy-winner reflected on the frightening experience of learning that he had suffered a brain aneurysm. He also revealed that during his hospitalization, he suffered three strokes.

“I got up and went about my day, and I thought I could lay down and take a nap,” he explained. “My son and a female friend were like ‘No, we need to take you to the hospital. Next thing you know, I’m blacking out, I’m in and out of consciousness and I end up in the ICU. I was there for two weeks. I’m hearing doctors come in, ‘You don’t know how lucky you are.’ I asked questions about what I could’ve done to prevent this.”

“Nobody could give me an answer,” Dr. Dre continued. “I had no idea that I had high blood pressure or anything like that because I’m on my health sh*t. I’m lifting weights, I’m running, I’m doing everything I can to keep myself healthy.” He added that he isn’t sure whether or not the experience made a “significant change” to his life. He does say, however, that a scare like that “definitely makes you appreciate being alive.”

“It’s cr*zy, so now knowing that I had no control over that. It’s just something that could happen out of the blue,” he described. “You wake up and you go, ‘Sh*t. OK, I’m here.’” What do you think of Dr. Dre revealing that he suffered three strokes following his 2021 brain aneurysm? Are you glad the hitmaker is doing better these days?

Speaker Knockerz & His Team Put Out Collection Of Unreleased Beats On “The Goat”

by

Hip-hop fans will be the first to tell you how much Speaker Knockerz meant to the community. He was cooking up so many bangers during the 2010s. It was a truly special thing to see unfold with songs like “Lonely,” “Money,” “Dap You Up,” “Erica Kane,” and more. Unfortunately, we tragically lost the Auto-tuned hitmaker back on March 6, 2014. His voice will always be remembered, and we continue to send our condolences to his family and friends. This weekend, Speaker Knockerz fans can celebrate his legacy once more by checking out The Goat.

This is the first posthumous release for him since 2016’s Flight Delayed. That record included rapping performances across the board. So, it might be a little unfortunate for some to know that The Goat is nothing but instrumentals. When fans reacted to this news a couple of days ago on X, they had all sorts of viewpoints.

Listen To The Goat By Speaker Knockerz

Some were disappointed in Speaker’s estate for taking advantage of his name all these years after the fact. Others were concerned about the controversial AI technology being used to replicate his standout voice. Furthermore, there were a few who were genuinely excited. Arguably, dropping nine unreleased beats by Speaker Knockerz may have been the smartest decision if his estate was dead set on releasing something. If you want to continue the debate, you can head down to the comments section and let us know your opinions.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new album, The Goat, by Speaker Knockerz? What instrumentals are you gravitating toward right now and why? Do you have a favorite one at the moment? Was this a missed opportunity to not include any posthumous rapping tracks, why or why not? How do you think his career would have played out? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Speaker Knockerz. Finally, stay with us for the most informative project posts throughout the week.

‘The Equalizer’ Mike Epps Guest Stars in Reunion With Queen Latifah

‘The Equalizer’ Mike Epps Guest Stars in Reunion With Queen Latifah

Mike Epps is teaming up with Queen Latifah to solve a case on the upcoming March 17 episode of The Equalizer. Here’s the rundown: Epps plays J.J., a man who Shadow and Act report is “recovering from his gambling addiction” in the episode entitled ‘All Bets Are Off.’ Even though he’s playing a degenerate gambler, his experiences are what Queen Latifah’s McCall character requires to solve a particular case. This comes as a reunion for both Epps and Latifah since they both starred together in Bessie for HBO. Here’s more insight on the episode from the official synopsis:

“After Dante’s old training partner is taken hostage while working undercover in an illegal casino, McCall hires J.J., a former gambling addict (guest star Mike Epps) to assist with the mission. Meanwhile, Dee joins a peer counseling group, and learns that some students have been bullying her on a social media page.”

So, if you’re a fan of The Equalizer, the procedural show was renewed for Seasons 3 and 4 in 2022. That pretty much means it’s a hit these days. At the time, CBS Entertainment’s senior executive vice president of programming, Thom Sherman, said, “The success of The Equalizer is due to the sum of its parts–an outstanding cast led by the superb Queen Latifah, plus the exceptional creative team that has continued to evolve their storytelling with a compelling mix of everyday justice, family dynamics and real-world issues that connect and resonate with audiences,” he said in the statement.

The album includes the hit single “Never Lose Me,” along with a remix featuring SZA and Cardi B. Collaborations with Monaleo, Anycia, and Gunna add depth to the album, as does the production work of Mike WiLL Made-It, Cardo Got Wings, and ATL Jacob, among others.

YG Brings Saweetie To Rolling Loud L.A., Couple Shuts Down Breakup Rumors

by

YG and Saweetie are apparently still going strong, as the former brought the latter out during his Rolling Loud performance in Los Angeles on Friday (March 15). Moreover, rumors and reports previously indicated that the two went their separate ways in early January, but their onstage PDA suggests that they either changed their minds or never broke up in the first place. “I love you girl,” the Cali rapper told his fellow Cali rapper as she made her way offstage following their steamy interlude. The two have been together since around May of 2023, and with their anniversary coming up, maybe their bond will feel stronger than ever.

However, we can’t say that this reunion is all that surprising, considering that fans were already starting to put two and two together. For example, Saweetie’s recent Instagram post from back in February had fans thinking that she hadn’t broken up with YG yet. Not only that, but news of their split was coming from other sources and reports that weren’t either of the MCs directly. As such, there were plenty of reasons to wait and see what they did, and we’re glad we waited to get this Rolling Loud guest slot.

Saweetie & YG At Rolling Loud L.A. 2024: Watch

Elsewhere, both artists are celebrating a lot these days and basking in their success and acclaim. For Saweetie, this recently manifested in a new single “Richtivities,” a stunning appearance at the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty, and an alleged incident with Cardi B at this event. This is just more hearsay and gossip, but one that’s also based on fan interpretation of the Bronx rapper’s recount. Perhaps we’ll never know if they really ran into each other here.

Meanwhile, the Still Brazy spitter was one of many guests on Ye and Ty Dolla $ign’s VULTURES 1. Their collab “DO IT” is among the more fun and bouncy cuts on the record, even if its second half is pretty much just “Back That Azz Up.” But can’t we all revisit what we love? Seems like this couple took a cue from those sessions. Fo more news and the latest updates on YG and Saweetie, come back to HNHH.
