Fabolous Shades Mystery Opp On IG Before Dropping “Calling You Up” Freestyle

by

Fabolous is feeling fiery these days for multiple reasons, and an Instagram Story post from Friday (February 2) is the main reason why, fans think. Moreover, he addressed a mystery enemy with some short but scathing statements: “I saved your reputation by only telling my side of the story. Stay humble.” Of course, the New York MC could be talking about anyone here, and fans also have a new piece of “evidence” to unpack for more answers. He released a music video for the “Calling You Up Freestyle” on Saturday (February 3), another reimagining of a recent Drake beat. He flows really well on it, has some sharp and boastful bars, and even references Drizzy’s Her Loss partner 21 S*vage, echoing the Toronto superstar’s own line about the Slaughter Gang spitter on that instrumental.

Alas, there’s not much to gain here when it comes to this unknown feud, as there are little to no bars that seem particularly pointed. That’s not to say it’s not good, as the performance and charisma here is still solid. Furthermore, that’s a talent that Fabolous has always championed and represented, but something that he’s reminding younger generations of a lot these days. For example, another of his recent freestyles is the cut “Snooze,” and it lives up to his Freestyle Friday series’ high bar of quality control.

Fabolous’ Cryptic IG Shots

However, there is one freestyle that opened up some family wounds, namely the installment “Selfish” which seems to address his estranged relationship with his stepdaughter, Taina Williams. “Selfishness will make someone comment under your pic,” Fabolous raps on the song. “When he took care of you and your mama since you were six/ Who selfish?/ Maybe we all are.” Many felt that this was a direct shot at Williams, who blasted him as an absent father in a comment under his 2022 post congratulating his then-two-year-old daughter Journey.

“This post is hilarious,” Taina expressed along with crying-laughing emojis. “‘Might not know when you going thru it, but you’ll get it at the end’ Is Translation for = I haven’t taken care of my daughter in almost a year & don’t even ask about her well being because IDC. [And] Im bitter & I’m only a father to my two beautiful sons who I can manipulate. Stop playing with the internet.” For more news and the latest updates on Fabolous, stay posted on HNHH.

Tyrese Faces Backlash For Saying He Wishes He Was “Born Latino”

by

Tyrese Gibson has sparked outrage amongst his fans after saying he wished he was “born Latino”. Gibson argued that the “Latin community is grounded in family, loyal, enterupenuers, businessmen, and women literally represent the dream. The grind and hustle, doing whatever it takes to stick together despite the odds.” Furthermore, it feels as those Tyrese is once again lamented about the breakdown of his marriage last year.

As mentioned, fans were not having this. “It’s Black History Month. 😒Use your black lips and do us all a favor and shut up. Thanks,” one person wrote. “Sometimes I wish Black folks actually went to see the hardworking Black people and families all over the country. So many of us are not in LA or Hollywood or highlighted on social media,” added another.

Samantha Lee’s Joe Budden Interview Has Tyrese Demanding She Change Her Name & Claiming He’s Losing Out On Sex

As mentioned, Tyrese has been struggling to overcome the breakdown of his marriage last year. He explosively responded to the interview his ex-wife gave to Joe Budden in November. She wants to be famous, she wants the clout. She had a whole baby and faked a whole marriage to get the BAG. 3 law firms later. Just hear her out guys. Please. Zelie and I are over here decorating this tree and trying to take advantage of these cyber Monday sales to come. Swipe left and just know whoever this person is. She hates my guts and yet her drivers license still says Gibson. Can you please run me my last name back? Soraya can keep it that our angel. Your trash ass birth name is Samantha Schwalenberg,” Tyrese ranted as he reposted a clip from the interview.

Furthermore, Tyrese claimed that the interview has affected his relationship with his current partner. “The Joe Budden podcast is now causing havoc in my house. My girl is mad at me about the podcast and after five months, she pulled out the vibrator and used it last night,” Tyrese claimed in a separate post. However, this one was met with a fair amount of backlash. Even Tyrese’s fans weren’t happy that he would put his partner on blast like that for nothing but clout.

DJ Akademiks Addresses Adin Ross & 21 Savage Scam Allegations

by

Folks recently raised their eyebrows at 21 Savage and his team mistakenly scamming Adin Ross during his gambling stream by using marked cards. DJ Akademiks chimed in on the matter during a recent session. “I did talk to Adin today,” he began. “I’ma be honest with you, that n***a sound like his puppy died. I think there’s a different layer to it. Do I believe that 21 Savage went to go finesse him? No. Do I believe that maybe one of 21 Savage’s mans did finesse him or tried to with some cards? Yes. Do I believe that 21 Savage had zero idea until afterwards? Nah. I think he probably, like, his mans was, like, ‘Alright, this is a lick.’ You feel me? In reality, and I told [Adin] this, maybe I’m naive too, right? I don’t think that would’ve happened to Kai [or] me.

“I think it’s ’cause you’re Adin, I don’t think that anybody would jeopardize having a relationship with, say, Kai, doing that,” Ak continued about Adin Ross. “Adin did tell me that, and by the way, he told me as well that 21 was gonna send him money. Which he probably did, he probably did send him, like, a quarter million dollars. But also, I think he feels a little salty about it. If this wasn’t on stream and if his audience never really bucked up, like, ‘No, you got cheated,’ and somebody else had shown him, he felt he would’ve really lost a lot of money and nobody would’ve cared. That, he feels kind of played for. He told me that Drake called him, and he said, ‘Bro, what was that s**t on stream? What’s up with that?’ And he was just like, ‘No idea, I’m kind of confused.’

DJ Akademiks Speaks On Adin Ross & 21 Savage Situation

“I don’t know, it was kind of a bad look for everybody involved, you know what I mean?” he elaborated. “Now, granted, I don’t think this was for content. I do believe Adin Ross, because I know a n***a like Adin, he will definitely pay you. But also, if you lost, he would expect it to be paid. Truthfully, if [21 Savage] was on that type of time, he could’ve done that to me previously. He’s never been any type of shady with me, I’m being very, very honest. Sometimes, n***as be like, ‘Bro, I ain’t gonna lie, we was gonna finesse that white boy.’ So I’m not saying that’s not a possibility. But the person who I know him as, he don’t do that. But once they see you’re the bag, they’ll do content with you, but they’re not giving you the respect they give Kai.

“Kai didn’t want to be his homeboy,” Akademiks concluded. “‘Yo, Kai my n***a.’ They’re not trying to be your n***a. And I’m not talking about 21 or anybody, I’m just telling you what it is. I’m not trying to justify it, I’m trying to explain. 21 won money from Kai, right? I don’t think that was cheating, I think he just won it. And also, I’m trying to tell [Adin], like, just to be honest. Bro, it’s ’cause you’re white, my n***a. Like, I know you and Kai are on the same [streamer] level. But n***as don’t look at you like they’re trying to be your n***a, my n***a. You’re a white dude who they’re like, ‘I’ma go on your platform, get some clout, n***a. I wouldn’t finesse my own.’” For more on DJ Akademiks, 21 Savage, and Adin Ross, stay logged into HNHH.

Kanye West & Bianca Censori Show Off Their Phone Backgrounds

by

Kanye West and Bianca Censori have shown off their respective phone backgrounds in a post on West’s Instagram story. West’s is a picture of Censori in a black leather bikini. Meanwhile, Censori’s background is a picture of Jason Vorhees, or at least someone dressed as Jason Vorhees. What do you think of their phone backgrounds? Let us know in the comments.

It’s a fairly wholesome departure from the typical content that West has posted on his account. Fans have continued to express their concern and confusion over West and his continued posting of Bianca Censori. One recent post showed Censori in a skimpy, back-laced outfit and a gimp mask in the kitchen. West captioned the image “cream of wheat”. He went on to post several other images of Censori in the same outfit around a sparsely furnished apartment. Many of the photos have invoked the previously raised concerns that Censori is a “radicalized Kim Kardashian.

Kanye West Files Bianca Censori-Inspired Trademark

@kanyewest on Instagram

Meanwhile, West is once again expanding his business ventures. Last week, he filed a trademark for the phrase “I MISS YOU WHEN I WAKE UP BEFORE YOU”. The phrase was seemingly inspired by a post on Instagram that West made last week. It served as the caption for a photo of Censori smiling as she relaxed on a couch. It’s unclear what West intends to do with the trademark at this time.

It comes a week after West wished his wife a happy birthday. “Happy birthday to the most beautiful super bad iconic muse. Inspirational talented artist masters degree in architecture 140 IQ loving by my side everyday when half the world turned their backs on me. And the most amazing step mom to our children I love you so much thank you for sharing your life with me,” West wrote alongside a close-up photo of Censori’s face. However, most responses to the post were fans mocking West about the often-delayed Vultures album, which is now expected on January 19.
