Nothing crazy, but just like, you know, I want people to be healthy in life. I’ve been having the craziest problems for years with my stomach so I need to focus on my health, and I need to get right, and I’m going to do that. I have a lot of other things that I would love to focus on.”

Mo’Nique has continued to respond to her son Shalon’s claims of emotional neglect by posting text messages between the pair from 2020 and 2021. “HEY MY SWEET BABIES. HERE ARE THE RECEIPTS FROM A MOTHER WHO ALLEGEDLY DOES NOT LOVE HER SON. WE ARE SHARING THIS WITH YOU SHALON & THE COMMUNITY! SOME WILL COMPLETELY GET IT OTHERS WON’T. WE LOVE US 4REAL,” the comedian wrote on Instagram. However, the move hasn’t gone over well with some fans.
“Monique these texts are 3 years old most of which you’re missing his calls and never calling him back. Why is that?” one person asked. “As a mother of a young adult son- whom I often disagree with, I think it’s the ultimate violation to post intimate discussions between you and he. A group of people you do not know- do NOT need to know your son’s credit issues, the plans for their midwifery or what they ate for dinner. You do not have to do this and you do not owe anyone any more details than has already been given. Your son expressed that you have violated his boundaries as your child. He also expressed that you care more about fame than motherhood. Your posture and your response has dictated that he was correct in his assessment,” another fan wrote in a lengthy response.
The texts come after Mo’Nique preached patience in her initial response to her son. Mo’Nique said she intended to let things “play out” in response to a scathing TikTok made by her eldest son, Shalon. In a three-minute response shared on social media, Mo’Nique preached patience while also addressing some of the specific claims made by her son. Furthermore, her father reminded Shalon of the help that Mo’Nique had provided for him when they last saw him “three years ago”.
Shalon had spoken at length on TikTok a few days prior about his experiences of emotional neglect while growing up. He had also pointed to his mother handing off problems to her father instead of addressing them herself. As a result, many commenters have pointed to her response as being proof of what Shalon had been saying in his original video. The comedian is currently the topic de jour after an explosive appearance on Club Shay Shay last week.
Rising star Quando Rondo has recently found himself entangled in legal troubles once again. Over the years, the Savannah rapper has garnered significant attention for being involved in multiple legal issues. His series of legal challenges have also cast a shadow over his promising career. Quando Rondo was recently arrested for a DUI, but this pales in comparison to his other controversies. Most infamously, he was linked to the murder of King Von in 2020. This negative publicity has led some fans to question their support for Rondo. However, others have continued to rally behind him, believing in his innocence.
Born Tyquian Terrel Bowman, he first gained widespread popularity with his breakout single “I Remember,” featuring Lil Baby in 2018. Since then, he has built a dedicated fan base and collaborated with prominent artists in the industry. But as aforementioned, he’s been making headlines more for his troubles with the law. Here, we’ll delve into the several legal issues surrounding Quando Rondo.
On March 15, 2019, Complex reported an incident involving Quando Rondo and Youngboy NBA. A lawsuit had been filed against them by YoungBoy’s former tour manager and DJ, Carl Capers, alleging assault, battery, and emotional distress. According to the lawsuit, on December 21, 2018, during a concert in Florence, South Carolina, the two artists got into an argument with a fervent fan. Capers asserted that he, YoungBoy, Quando, and their entourage were taken backstage by venue management after the confrontation escalated.
Capers further claimed that, while backstage, he was assaulted by Rondo and YoungBoy. He contended that Rondo, without provocation, initiated the incident by attempting to force him back onstage to quell the fan disturbance for the safety of their team. While Capers refused, he alleged that both Quando Rondo and YoungBoy immediately assaulted him, causing him to sustain a cracked tooth, bloody face, and injuries to his reputation.
One of the most significant incidents involving Quando Rondo was the highly publicized altercation that took place in November 2020. The rapper was linked to a violent confrontation outside a nightclub in Atlanta. The rift eventually led to a shoot-out that resulted in the tragic death of King Von. The incident sparked a heated debate about the circumstances surrounding the altercation, and raised questions about self-defense, as Quando Rondo claimed that he and his entourage were acting in self-defense during the confrontation.
According to TMZ’s report on the matter, Quando had been taking a nap outside the nightclub. Soon after, he woke up to the sight of King Von and his entourage approaching him and his associates angrily. Video footage captured the moment Von threw punches at Quando Rondo before the subsequent gunfight ensued.
Following King Von’s death, Quando chose to remain silent regarding the incident until two weeks later when he revealed his track “End of Story.” Through the song, he spoke on the shooting, addressed his role in the event, and once more asserted that he acted in self-defense. Notably, he expressed solidarity with his friend Timothy Leeks, also known as Lul Timm, who faced charges related to the murder of King Von.
In June 2023, Quando Rondo faced trouble with the law when he was apprehended in Chatham County, Georgia. He was charged in connection to drug sales and gang activity. Prosecutors asserted that he was implicated in the sale of marijuana. Despite these charges, Rondo secured his release on a $100,000 bond a few days after representatives from Atlantic Records had appeared in court.
A few weeks after his release on bond, however, he was involved in a car crash and displayed symptoms of a possible overdose. In response, prosecutors filed a motion seeking to revoke Rondo’s bond. Nevertheless, the motion was rejected. He was, however, barred from driving, until the conclusion of his trial on the drug and gang charges. Several months following his release on bond, the rapper found himself in FBI custody facing federal drug charges, even though he was already on bond for state drug charges.
On February 6, 2024, Quando Rondo was arrested and taken into custody in Georgia. The charges were for driving under the influence and reckless driving. Moreover, this arrest is linked to the aforementioned 2023 car accident involving the rapper. Unsurprisingly, Quando Rondo has been released once again, this time on a $4,600 bond. Hopefully, this will mark the end of his encounters with the law.
From the very start of her career as a rap diva, Ice Spice’s life has changed significantly. She went from being an aspiring rhymer in her early 20s, living in the Bronx, to spending time with figures like Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj. While some stars on the rise prefer to collaborate with an abundance of beatmakers to build their perfect sound, Spice has consistently worked with RiotUSA, who’s been in her life long before she unleashed her 2022 breakout hit, “Feelin’ U (Munch).”
Besides making magic together in the studio on songs like “Princess Diana” and “Pretty Girl,” the former college classmates also enjoy kicking it when they’re not working too. This past weekend, Riot was at the Super Bowl with his favourite femcee, and some fans took note of how good he looked alongside Spice. Some have previously linked them together romantically after the “Deli” hitmaker hinted at being in a relationship last year, though others have their theories that DJ Enuff’s son could be a part of the LGBTQ+ community.
Earlier this week, one of Nicki Minaj’s Barbz shared a screenshot of the DM they sent to Riot, simply writing, “Yo.” The busy creative hasn’t yet replied, but the Twitter/X user remained persistent, tagging Spice in hopes of having her facilitate something. “[Put me on] @icespicee_,” they pleaded. “He don’t like boys,” she simply responded, shutting down speculation about her friend’s sexuality.
Elsewhere in the news, Ice Spice has the attention of more than one man in the entertainment industry following Super Bowl weekend. The redhead attended alongside Taylor Swift, who was front and center in the news while supporting her man, Travis Kelce. The New Yorker met NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal at the big game too, though he’s now facing backlash for his provocative comments about the 24-year-old. Read all about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news.
Cam’ron and Mase are easily the best duo in sports media right now. Although some might say that title belongs to Shannon Sharpe and Stephen A. Smith, you cannot deny the power of It Is What It Is. These two continue to deliver incredible episodes and entertaining segments. Whenever they comment on something, you know it is going to be comedy. Overall, fans are quite fond of the show, and their following has only grown over time. If you love the rap duo, this is a great time for you.
That said, they had plenty to talk about following the Super Bowl. There was one report making the rounds yesterday which alleged how Taylor Swift had Kanye West kicked out of the big game. This news came from Brandon Marshall and it was met with skepticism. In fact, as we have already explained, the story was proven false by a source associated with Kanye West. Regardless, Cam and Mase speculated on what took place and even took sides. As Cam and Mase explained, they can easily see why Taylor would want Ye to be removed.
“[He] tried to diss that young lady years ago, and she ain’t forget about it. She don’t want to be seen with you, let alone on the Super Bowl screen,” Cam’ron said. “That man got up there embarrassed Taylor Swift at them awards, tried to go Beyoncé crazy.” Later on, Cam’ron took Swift’s side, saying “If she makes a call and says ‘I’m leaving if he don’t get out of here,’ he got to go.” In the end, it is all a moot point as none of this ever happened.
That said, the Super Bowl itself was fantastic. We got an overtime game that made a lot of people happy. While 49ers fans are probably still reeling from the loss, Chiefs fans are over the moon. Let us know what you thought of the game, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports and music worlds.

Kanye West is back on the Donald Trump support train. Paparazzi caught up with the rapper and asked about his support. Ye made no secret about his endorsement. “Yeah, of course, it’s Trump all day. What you talking ’bout? You know what it is.”
The endorsement comes after a 2022 video from Ye detailing a visit to Mar-a-Lago that didn’t go well.
While YE was at Trump’s Florida home, he offered the idea of Trump being his running mate for President. Trump would be the vice president.
“I think the thing that Trump was most perturbed about [was] me asking him to be my vice president. I think that was, like, lower on the list of things that caught him off guard. It was the fact that I walked in with intelligence,” Ye said.
Ye said in the conversation that Trump insulted Kim Kardashian and told the former billionaire he would fail in the election. “And I was thinking like, ‘That’s the mother of my children.’ Since we and all the Christians in America that love Trump know that Trump is a conservative, we’re gonna demand that you hold all policies directly to the Bible.”
What was Ye’s response: “‘Woah Woah, hold on, hold on, Trump. You’re talking to Ye.’”
Nick Fuentes, a white supremacist, also attended the controversial dinner. More on that below.
