Rihanna’s Outfit Sparks Debate After ASAP Rocky’s Paris Fashion Show

by

Earlier this week, ASAP Rocky and Rihanna stepped out for the AWGE Menswear Spring/Summer 2025 Paris Fashion Week runway show, and as expected, arrived in style. Rocky wore a gray and black jacket over a white shirt with jeans. Rihanna, on the other hand, stunned in a maroon jacket, a white dress, and a pair of bold heels. Not everyone is feeling her fit, however, as it’s now sparked a debate in The Shade Room‘s comments section.

“She dressed for the summer spring and fall,” one Instagram user writes. “Idc who this is, that outfit is terrible,” someone else argues. Fortunately, many fans are also coming to her defense, claiming that they don’t see anything wrong with RiRi’s latest look.

Jaden Looks Back On His Relationship With Kylie Jenner On “‘Roses’”

by

Jaden is quite the versatile artist, making it much easier to make tracks like “‘Roses’”, for example. On this meditative and atmospheric alternative single, the son of Will Smith is musing about love. “Roses / Left them at your door ’cause I was hoping (‘Cause I was hoping) / They would lead you home tonight ’cause I (Yeah, okay, I was in the, phew-phew) / Don’t sleep ‘less you’re by my side (Okay, I was in the senseless seas, yeah, I came)“. We have seen him take this route before on tracks before, but things take a turn on the backend.

“All our boundaries tested ’em / I act nice, but I’m bad as the rest of ’em / ‘Cept that one night that we found love at the festival / And I left feelin’ hopeless / And we wasn’t the closest when I wrote this, but you still deserve roses“. These are just a few bars on the third verse from “‘Roses’” in which Jaden calls back to his up and down relationship with a teenage Kylie Jenner. This pre-superstar connection was somewhat romantic, but according to Genius, it was never fully confirmed. Furthermore, the festival line is a reference to the music video for his 2014 song “Blue Ocean”, which Kylie was also in. On that song he talks about their Coachella hang out, “Man, I met a girl at Coachella / I like her but you know I couldn’t tell her / ‘Cause she has her own fella“.

Overall, this is an interesting part of the song, mostly because both are so far removed from this fling. It is also out of nowhere, because this is “‘Roses’” is Jaden’s first song is nearly three years. Additionally, 2021 was the last year we got a project from the 25-year-old. Who knows why he decided to look back on this moment in his life, so perhaps stick around with HNHH for any possible developments surrounding “‘Roses’”.

Quotable Lyrics:

I’m still stuck on them picket fences (No, no)
Blue skies and kids with questions
Our life went in different directions
Black rock suppressing inventions
Right after the *** injections
Tyga came in the picture and I was the cynical best friend

Jonathan Majors Delivers Emotional Speech At The Impact Awards After Domestic Violence Conviction

by

The Hollywood Unlocked Impact Awards took place on Friday night (June 21) in Beverly Hills, and one of its biggest moments was the culmination of a long, difficult, but necessary journey. Jonathan Majors received the “Perseverance Award” at the ceremony and gave a 15-minute-ish-long speech on what his mindset is like following his domestic assault and harassment conviction last year. Of course, this “perseverance” doesn’t excuse the actor’s actions, but it does point to him learning from his mistakes, getting another chance at his career, and moving onto better times in his life. Hopefully this accountability, personal healing process, and honesty gives him the fulfillment and peace he needs.

“I’m imperfect,” Jonathan Majors expressed tearfully at the event. “I have shortcomings, I acknowledge them. Perseverance means what? Perseverance means persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay. And the God I serve has put me in a position where I’ve had to embody that word more than I wished or wanted. We live in a world [that props up] men, Black men in particular… as either superheroes or supervillains. But I’ve come to realize, me, personally, I ain’t none of that… I’m just that guy whose faith has been tested. It has been strengthened by this testimony.”

Jonathan Majors’ Full Impact Awards Speech

Jonathan Majors did not receive a prison sentence for his domestic assault and harassment conviction, but the court ordered him to participate in domestic violence counseling for a year. It’s unclear what the rest of his legal trajectory will look like, as he also faced another lawsuit connected to the incident recently. This whole scandal became a hot topic of debate on social media, and not even its resolved sentence could quell that fire. Perhaps this just became the final domino to fall on that path.

Meanwhile, Jonathan Majors received his first role since this debacle recently, landing a role in Martin Villenueve’s new revenge thriller Merciless. Surely the film will inspire parallels between it and his case, even where there are none to find. Either way, we look forward to seeing what happens next, not just to set precedent for future situations like these but to see a full change of heart and behavior. After all, these complex paths can lead to better outcomes despite what folks suffered to achieve them that should’ve never happened in the first place.

Sexyy Red Trashes Vodka Brand Days After Unveiling Partnership

by

Sexyy Red is certainly no stranger to speaking her mind, and it looks like that applies to all areas of the hitmaker’s life, business or otherwise. Recently, for example, she teamed up with Au Vodka to film an ad for their new strawberry flavor. Unfortunately, the partnership went south, prompting her to trash the liquor company on her Instagram Story.

“F*ck @auvodka don’t buy that nasty a** sh*t… Iont drink anyway… Thanks for dem buckas doe suckas,” she wrote. “Dat sh*t nasty asf yal on god I had my friends taste it!” At the time of writing, it remains unclear exactly what went wrong to make Sexyy Red so upset. Regardless, she’s not holding back in the slightest.

Sexyy Red Claims She Was Disrespected By Au Vodka

The “Pound Town” performer even took to The Neighborhood Talk‘s comments section to double down, making it apparent that she has no intentions of working with the brand in the future. “They disrespected tf outta me I will never do business wit them again !” she declared. For now, the company still has content featuring Sexyy Red on its official social media accounts and has yet to comment on the falling out.

Sexyy Red’s posts have fans split. While some think she’s justified in defending herself, others think she should have just kept quiet and moved on. With that being said, it’s still uncertain what happened, which could drastically change the situation. Commenters are demanding more information about the incident, though it doesn’t seem like she plans to share any more details at this time. What do you think of Sexyy Red slamming a vodka brand immediately after unveiling their partnership? Do you think she’s in the right, or did she take things too far? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

James Fauntleroy & No ID (The 80s) Revive “The Pursuit” 13 Years Later

by

James Fauntleroy and legendary producer No ID are giving fans what they want this summer. They are combining their talents on an EP, but not in the way that you think. This is not a brand-new release by any means. In fact, this tape that is out now is about 13 years old. It is called The Pursuit, and it is a production of the duo’s group known as The 80s or The Cocaine 80s. If you have not heard of this collective before, let us give you a little history lesson for some background.

James and No ID are just two of the artists responsible for bringing this idea to fruition back in the early 2010s. Chicago rap genius Common, as well as Los Angeles-bred singer Jhené Aiko, joined along for the ride. This quartet is known for the smooth and stunning R&B cuts with an alternative flare. What you are seeing in front of you is the first of four EPs, as The Pursuit began the string of EPs from 2011 to 2013. The last of them was The Flower Of Life and since then, we have not received any new music from this talented act. Hopefully, with The 80s bringing The Pursuit to streaming this weekend, maybe they will revive the other subsequent EPs. You can check out the long-awaited fan-favorite tape with the links below and relive the magic that was created all those years ago.
