Latto Reveals Her Ultimate Dream Collaboration

by

Latto has been killing it as of late. Overall, she has delivered some incredible tracks this year. Moreover, she is someone who has gotten to work with a plethora of phenomenal artists. At this point, she is getting to a place in her career where she can work with almost anyone. She recently orchestrated an all-women cypher for XXL and she even got to chat with Forbes. These are huge moves for the artist, who is doing more than just dropping hits and consistent projects.

In her interview with Forbes, Latto was asked who would be her dream collaboration. Of course, there are plenty of amazing artists that one could choose from in this scenario. However, the artist that Latto chose is someone who hasn’t released an album in quite some time. That person just so happens to be Rihanna. She is someone who inspired a generation of artists, and Latto just so happens to be one of them.

Latto Delivers Praise To Riri

“Business, RiRi. RiRi. I just feel like she touched our generation in a whole different way,” Latto said. “I feel like women like me who might have a little motion going on, she showed us that it’s possible for us to take it a whole different level. So definitely RiRi. Music and business. What’s up, RiRi? Call me girl. I did a song with Mariah Carey, I did a song with Christina Aguilera, I did a song with Lil Wayne. It’s so limitless, I feel like anything could happen.” This would be an incredible collab, and we would love to see it happen. Hopefully, Rihanna does hit Latto with that call.

Josh Giddey & Livv Cook Scandal: What We Know

by

Australian basketball sensation Josh Giddey, a rising star in the NBA, has found himself at the center of a swirling controversy. The recent scandal involving allegations of an inappropriate relationship with an underage woman named Livv Cook has sent shockwaves through the basketball community and beyond. Below, we’ve broken down what we know so far about the OKC player’s recent scandal. 

Who Is Josh Giddey?

A talented player for the Oklahoma City Thunder, Josh Giddey had been making a name for himself with impressive performances on the court. Hailing from Melbourne, Australia, the shooting guard already made history as the youngest player to record a triple-double in the NBA at just 19 years old. While he’s already established himself as a force to be reckoned with, his recent scandal could lead to some serious hurdles moving forward.

The Allegations & Response

The controversy erupted when videos and photos surfaced on social media showing Giddey in the company of a young woman. Claims emerged that the girl, Livv Cook, was only 15 years old, implying an inappropriate relationship. However, former NBA player Andrew Bogut revealed that there might have been a misrepresentation of Livv Cook’s age when she gained entry to a California club in Newport Beach. The leaked content sparked a storm on social media, with accusations and harsh criticisms directed towards Giddey. Per TMZ, The NBA launched an investigation into the matter, and the Newport Beach Police Department also initiated their own inquiry to determine if any laws were violated. 

The gravity of the situation became apparent as law enforcement officials probed whether Giddey engaged in an inappropriate relationship with a minor. The age of consent in California stands at 18, while in Oklahoma, where Giddey plays, it is 16. This legal discrepancy could significantly impact the investigation’s outcome and potential legal consequences for those involved. Giddey’s future in the NBA remains uncertain amidst these troubling allegations. While the girl’s parents reportedly expressed reluctance to press charges, the involvement of authorities could complicate matters further. Witness testimonies may become pivotal, potentially altering the trajectory of Giddey’s career.

Current Status & NBA Response

Shortly after the controversy went viral, Giddey faced questions from news reporters on the matter. In brief, he stated, “I understand the question obviously, but no, there’s no further comment right now.” Despite the ongoing scandal, Giddey has continued to play for the Oklahoma City Thunder, being cleared to participate in games. The NBA, while investigating the allegations, has refrained from commenting further on the issue.

Conclusion

As the investigation unfolds, the NBA world and fans await further developments in the case. The involvement of law enforcement and the sensitivity of the allegations cast a shadow of uncertainty over Josh Giddey’s promising career. While the player remains active on the court, the outcome of the investigation will likely determine the trajectory of his future in basketball.

In the midst of this turmoil, the situation remains fluid, and only time will reveal the full extent of the truth behind the allegations surrounding Josh Giddey and Livv Cook.

Jonathan Majors & Meagan Good Get Cozy In NYC Ahead Of Actor’s Trial

by

Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good were spotted eating out and cuddling up in New York City this week. The pair, who have been dating since the summer, were spotted at Jack’s Wife Freda for lunch before taking to the streets of the city, with Majors wrapping his arm around Good. While the couple have been spotted coast-to-coast and beyond since they got together, this might be their last date for a while.

November 29, the day after their date, marks the start of Majors’ jury trial for assault. Majors stands accused of physically assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, back in March. Proceedings have dragged on throughout the year, with Majors’ defense team deeming the accusations a witch hunt. However, several other women came forward with similar allegations of violence against Majors. Furthermore, a Rolling Stone investigation painted a picture of violence and manipulation that dated back as far as Majors’ time at Yale. The trial remains a developing story and we’ll have any updates as and when they emerge.

Majors Facing Significant Career Consequences

Furthermore, as Majors’ trial begins, several major consequences still hang over his head. Magazine Dreams, an upcoming drama starring Majors, will no longer be released on December 8. Speaking with CNN, Disney confirmed that the film did not currently have a release date. Searchlight Pictures, a subsidiary of Disney, acquired the distribution rights to the film after it opened to rave reviews at Sundance. Furthermore, Disney’s live-action Snow White film starring Rachel Zegler has been pushed back from March 2024 to March 2025.

Additionally, according to an extensive report from Variety, Marvel is reportedly considering what action to take over the ongoing Majors situation. At a retreat in September, studio execs discussed various backup plans if the actor is found guilty at his trial. Majors was meant to be the crux of the next era of the MCU. However, the actor’s assault charges have put that into jeopardy. While he has appeared in the most recent season of Loki, it’s likely the last time Majors will be seen in the MCU for some time. “Marvel is truly f-cked with the whole Kang angle. And they haven’t had an opportunity to rewrite until very recently [because of the WGA strike]. But I don’t see a path to how they move forward with him,” one high-ranking executive said.

FBG Duck Murder Case: FBI Tells Jurors That A YouTuber Was Paid $25K To Be An Informant

by

Some pieces are beginning to fall into place for the murder case of FBG Duck. Back in October jury duty was underway, as 150 people were whittled down to just 12. The tragic event that took place three years ago is finally starting to see some more progress toward a trial. Hopefully, the proper punishment for the six alleged gang members who have been charged with the murder will be handed down. They were reportedly members of a rival gang. Prosecutors and FBG’s mother claim that they publicly took credit for the murder afterward.

With that part in motion, we now have more information from HipHopDX. According to them, an FBI Agent has recently informed the jurors that a paid informant has been assisting with the case. The name of that person is Martell Wiley and he runs a YouTube channel called Trenches News. In addition, the Chicago Sun-Times says he will be testifying this week.

Martell Wiley Got A Lot Of Money To Help

FBI Special Agent Kevin Doyle said that Wiley got over 15 installments of nearly $25,000. Additionally, his work with authorities officially began in 2021. However, the YouTuber did contact the Chicago Police Department one day after FBG’s murder to offer his help. Doyle mentioned that “he would provide background information. He reviewed surveillance footage [and] reviewed social media postings.” Wiley is sure to be under fire for breaking the street codes of not snitching. But, he wants to help bring justice to Duck. Wiley said, “They subpoenaed me to court. I’ve gotta come here and tell them, man,” he said in a video on his channel. “It ain’t no more discrepancies. I’m here. Long live [FBG Duck, aka] Carlton.”

What are your initial thoughts on this latest development with the FBG Duck murder case? Do you think things are going to rapidly escalate in court after Martell Wiley broke the code? Will this extra information help bring justice to FBG Duck’s family? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest breaking news around FBG Duck.

Offset Says Tyler, the Creator Inspired Him to Go Solo

Offset delves into his upcoming solo album, Set It Off, and reveals an unexpected source of inspiration for his solo journey in a recent interview with GQ.

During the conversation, Offset revealed he was inspired by Tyler, the Creator, to go solo.

“It was a year ago, at the Roc Nation Brunch, and I was telling [Tyler] my vision of being a standout artist and a solo artist and reinventing myself,” Offset said. “I was glorifying him, telling him, ‘I respect how you stay in character [for each album].’ He was like, ‘You should do it, too.

“N-–as ain’t going to f—k with it at first, but n—as never f—k with the good s—t first. They always sleep on it, and then you show them throughout the process.’”

Offset released his latest album, SET IT OFF, this past October. This 21-track project is a deeply personal endeavor for Offset, serving as a form of healing for himself and a heartfelt message to his devoted fans and supporters.

SET IT OFF boasts a star-studded guest list, including Travis Scott, Don Toliver, Future, Cardi B, Mango Foo, Latto, Young Nudy, and Chlöe. The album promises diverse sounds and lyrical depth, reflecting Offset’s growth and experiences.

Offset dropped the official music video for “SAY MY GRACE” featuring Travis Scott to celebrate the album’s launch. The visually captivating video was filmed in Pattaya, Thailand, at The Sanctuary of Truth Museum, Nong Noch Botanical Gardens, and the Pattaya Floating Market earlier this year. Directed by Maya Table and executive produced by Offset and SheShe Pendleton, the video offers a cinematic and artistic visual experience.

Leading up to the album release, Offset treated fans to tracks like “JEALOUSY” featuring Cardi B and “FAN.” “JEALOUSY” quickly gained popularity on major hip-hop playlists across digital streaming platforms, amassing over 76 million combined global streams. The song’s accompanying video, inspired by the 2001 film Baby Boy, has garnered over 19 million views.
