Drake, Kim K, Offset & More Attend Beyoncé’s Star-Studded 41st Birthday Party

Leave a comment

Tristan Thompson and Khloé Kardashian also stepped out for the big event.

Beyoncé celebrated her 41st birthday earlier this month, on September 4th, but because the big day fell on Labour Day long weekend, the mother of three opted to push her party to the next weekend, celebrating with a star-studded roster of celebrity friends at a Bel Air mansion on Saturday (September 10) to “f*ck up the night” with Queen B herself.

As TMZ notes, the paparazzi didn’t snag any photos of the birthday girl on her own big day, though they did snap a picture of her husband JAY-Z, who wore a slick red suit and a pair of sunglasses.

Other famous faces in attendance included Drake, Lizzo, Jaden Smith, Machine Gun Kelly and his fiancée Megan Fox, as well as The Idol starlet Lily-Rose Depp, Migos member Offset (who channelled Michael Jackson with his outfit of the night), and Vanessa Bryant.

Several members of the Kardashian-Jenner clan were also at the party. Kim was photographed more than once sporting a red and black striped catsuit with her long platinum blonde hair cascading down her shoulders and oversized sunglasses shielding her eyes.

Family matriarch Kris joined her daughter for the evening, as did little sister Khloé Kardashian and her ex Tristan Thompson, though it remains unclear if the two showed up together.

Bella Hadid took a break from her New York Fashion Week duties to attend, and happy couple Adele and Rich Paul were also spotted at the function.

Guests are said to have started arriving around 10:30 and stayed until about 3 in the morning. Check out more photos from Beyoncé’s 41st birthday party below.

Tiffany Haddish Bumps & Grinds With Usher Onstage At His Las Vegas Residency: Watch

Leave a comment

The comedian simply dropped by the show as a patron, but her famous friend didn’t hesitate to bring her out and turn up the heat.

Tiffany Haddish looks to be getting back into the dating game following her breakup from Common. Most recently, the comedian was hand-picked by Usher to join him onstage for a sultry performance during his Las Vegas residency, during which a bit of bumping and grinding took place between the two stars.

As TMZ notes, the 42-year-old attended the “OMG” hitmaker’s concert in Sin City on Friday (August 26), nabbing a great seat toward the front of the venue and simply expecting to enjoy her pal’s performance from the audience. Once Usher spotted her though, it was her time to shine alongside him.

Haddish looked like a kid in the candy store while the evening’s main act grinded up on her backside and she cheekily leaned into him. The 43-year-old Dallas native also sang to the Girls Trip actress before they played out a skit while sitting at a table together.

On her own Instagram feed, the Los Angeles-born entertainer shared a video of her turning up from down in the audience, a wide smile across her face as she sings along to Chris Brown’s “Party” featuring Usher and Gucci Mane.

Upon turning the camera around, Haddish shows off her view of the “Yeah!” artist dancing along with his entourage, all of them taking turns showing off their moves in a circle.

This isn’t the first time Usher’s name has been linked to The Last Black Unicorn author’s in the media, although the last time wasn’t so flattering.

Earlier this month, Haddish told Cosmopolitan that she “checked in” with the father of four before cracking a joke about the herpes allegations that have long plagued him – read more about that here, and tap back in with HNHH later for more pop culture news updates.

First Week Sales Projections For J.I.D’s “The Forever Story” & DJ Khaled’s “GOD DID” Are In

Leave a comment

Both artists nabbed a seriously impressive roster of features for their respective projects, but only one can take the No. 1 spot.

The numbers are in!

As has been a regular occurrence this summer, it was an impressive weekend for new hip-hop album releases from everyone from Sauce Walka and Dro Kenji to Roc Marciano and The Alchemist. Besides those exciting new arrivals, though, also came two projects that audiences are even more amped up for – DJ Khaled’s GOD DID, and Dreamville superstar J.I.D’s The Forever Story.

While the former worked with the likes of Drake, Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, JAY-Z, John Legend, Fridayy, Kanye West, Eminem, and Dr. Dre (and that’s just on the first three titles) on his new arrival, the latter collaborated with Kenny Mason, EARTHGANG, 21 Savage, Baby Tate, Lil Durk, Ari Lennox, and Yasiin Bey, among others.

Reactions are still pouring in across social media as fans take in their first listen of each, but HDD is ready to announce the first week sales projections for both Khaled and J.I.D.

The 18-song-long GOD DID is expected to move 105K – 115K album-equivalent units in its first week out, which could be high enough to beat out Bad Bunny’s ever-triumphant Un Verano Sin Ti, though we’ve been surprised with the Latin rap album coming out on top against other big contenders in the past few months.

The Forever Story, on the other hand, is expected to shift anywhere between 27K – 30K copies during its first week out; it remains unclear if that will be high enough to place the 31-year-old Atlanta rapper in the top 10.

In other news, J.I.D opened up about his highly anticipated album ahead of its arrival, calling it a “good piece of [his] origin story” – read more about that here, and tap back in with HNHH later for more hip-hop news updates.

Kevin Samuels’ Cause Of Death Determined To Be Hypertension: Report

Leave a comment

Kevin Samuels’ cause of death was reportedly due to hypertension.

Kevin Samuels’ death was “a result of hypertension,” and has been classified as one of natural causes, the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office has determined, according to TMZ. The polarizing YouTuber passed away at 57, back in May.

“Evidence of hypertension includes a heart whose chambers are thicker than normal,” the Medical Examiner’s report states, adding that Samuels was taking Atenolol, a drug used to treat hypertension.

News of Samuels’ death was first reported by TMZ shortly after his passing, causing his mother, Beverly Samuels-Burch, to learn about her son’s death from social media.

“That was a terrible thing for social media to put that out. I didn’t even know. I hadn’t even been notified,” she said, according to NBC News. “All I’m doing is requesting that people pray for us.”

Due to the controversial nature of his relationship advice, many took Samuels’ death as a chance to criticize the late YouTuber, something T.I. called people out for on social media.

“The shit is fucking a travesty of justice,” the rapper argued at the time. “I can’t stand it, I can’t stand it. I ain’t gon’ let y’all bully this dead man. We gon’ let this man rest in peace.”

“I Don’t Even Know Who That Is”

Leave a comment

As far as he’s concerned, there are more important, pressing issues going on in the world than spending time speaking about the actress.

The vicious back and forth between D.L. Hughley and Mo’Nique has subsided in recent days, but for a minute there, things got out of control. What seemed to have been an argument launched by the actress after she wasn’t added as a headliner for a comedy show unfolded into Mo’Nique targeting not only Hughley but his family. She spoke about his daughter being sexually assaulted and disparaged his marriage, causing the Oscar-winning actress to become a pariah in the press. 

Hughley and his family took to social media to respond, but these days, the comedy legend has opted to focus on the positives in his life and act as if Mo’Nique doesn’t even exist.

Hughley is operating with an “out of sight, out of mind” mentality.

“I don’t even know who you’re talking about,” said the comedian when a TMZ cameraperson attempted to rehash Mo’Nique’s apology. “Listen, I don’t even know who you’re talking about. That—you only get so many breaths in your life and I refuse to use one more on somebody like that.”

When the paparazzo was just about to follow up with another question, Hughley added, “I haven’t heard anything. I don’t listen to that.”

“I work, my family’s intact, I just came from doing—we just came from doing a benefit for the people that were affected by the tragedy in Buffalo,” said Hughley. “I get to go home and see my granddaughter. I have no words or breath left for somebody like that.” The cameraperson slid in another question and said, “Never work with her again?”

Hughley answered, “I don’t even know who it is.” Watch his interaction with TMZ below.

Pete Davidson Filmed Shopping & Holding Hands With Saint West In L.A. Sans Kim K

Leave a comment

Pete is in full (step) dad mode with 6-year-old Saint.

Pete Davidson doesn’t have any kids of his own, but according to TMZ, he’s becoming increasingly comfortable around the four young children of his girlfriend – North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm West. Most recently, the Saturday Night Live alum was filmed out on what looked to be a solo shopping trip with Kim Kardashian’s eldest son.

Cameras caught the 28-year-old out and about at The Grove shopping plaza in Los Angeles, where the 6-year-old walked hand in hand with his mother’s boyfriend. After perusing around for a bit, they landed outside the Cheesecake Factory to grab a bite to eat where cameras caught them holding hands again, a bodyguard also standing nearby.

Eyewitnesses told the publication that Saint’s hat in the aforementioned photos was purchased for him by Davidson, which the young boy seemed to be grateful for.

While the New York native and the socialite have been spending more time together following his exit from Saturday Night Live, it appears that she skipped out on this shopping trip. Saint’s father, Kanye West, wasn’t around either – likely a good thing due to the distaste he’s previously expressed for his wife’s new man on social media.

Davidson appears to have won over the hearts of Kardashian’s family quickly. Months into their relationship cameras caught him driving around in a golf cart with 8-year-old North West in his lap, and rumour has it that one of the smaller tattoos on his neck represents Kim and her children’s initials.

On top of that, Kris Jenner has also made it clear that she absolutely adores him – read more about that here, and let us know if you were surprised by the new footage of Pete and Saint spending time together below.

Kathy Griffin Slams Johnny Depp As A “Bloated Boozebag” After Amber Heard Trial

Leave a comment

Kathy Griffin had some harsh words for Johnny Depp, who she described as looking like “Donald Trump with a ponytail.”

Kathy Griffin pulled no punches when discussing Johnny Depp on Brian Karem’s Just Ask the Question podcast, this week labeling the actor a “big orange fat bloated boozebag.” The comments come in the wake of Depp’s recent defamation trial against Amber Heard, in which he was awarded $15 million.

On the podcast, Griffin admitted that she’s “friends with Amber Heard,” before revealing that she believe’s her side of the story “completely.” Griffin described the verdict as “really disturbing.”

After labeling Depp “gross,” she added: “These Johnny Depp stans that are talking about this trial and yet they refuse to show pictures of what he looks like now, which is a big orange fat bloated boozebag. He looks like Donald Trump with a ponytail. And so they keep sticking up for him and being like, ‘Amber is taking down Johnny! He’s so gorgeous and dreamy!’ I’m like, okay, he talks like Kanye when Kanye had his jaw wired. He has a fake accent like when Madonna turned British. So, you know, who are we kidding here?”

Depp sued Heard, his ex-wife, for $50 million after she wrote an op-ed published in the Washington Post claiming to be a survivor of domestic abuse. Heard responded by counter-suing Depp, claiming her side of the story to be true. While Depp was awarded $15 million in the trial, Heard was also awarded $2 million in compensatory damages.

Heard’s legal team has stated that she intends to appeal the decision.

Cardi B Returns To Her Stripper Roots On Cabo Baecation With Offset

Leave a comment

The couple packed on the PDA after Cardi showed out on the pole.

Cabo is heating up this Memorial Day long weekend thanks to Offset and Cardi B, who are currently on a baecation in the luxurious Mexican paradise. Their trip kicked off with a flirty photo dump from the mother of two, who flexed her “body in Miu Miu” with her “kitty on meow meow” in a colourful two-piece crochet set while riding on a private jet, and things have only gotten more eventful since then.

Upon arriving to their accommodations, the “Clout” collaborators were met with a beautiful view, although it wasn’t long before tragedy struck as a yacht began to sink right in front of them. Luckily, the boat was empty, but the “Money” rapper still provided devastated commentary as the “big boat” said “Buh-bye!”

On Sunday, May 29th, it looks like Cardi and her husband hit the town and found themselves in a strip club, where the Hustlers actress didn’t hesitate to hop on the pole and showcase the moves that helped her make money before her rise to fame in the music industry.

“We in Cabo… Where the hoes at?” she tweeted last night. “What’s the vibes for the night?!” Clearly, the vibes for the night were getting hot and heavy with Offset, as that’s exactly what they did, packing on the PDA when the 29-year-old had finished her performance to The Weeknd’s “Earned It.” 

In other news, just a few days before they headed out on vacation, the Migos member made headlines after declaring that Cardi B is his “favourite meal” for a TikTok – read more about that here, and tap back in with HNHH later for more hip-hop news updates.

Cardi B & Offset’s Son, Wave Set Cephus, Was Named By Migos Member Sources Say

Leave a comment

It’s also been revealed that the baby boy already has a jewelry collection worth hundreds of thousands.

Seeing as they both have incredibly unique monikers themselves, it’s really no surprise that Cardi B (born Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar) and Offset (real name Kiari Kendrell Cephus) opted to give their son a name like Wave Set Cephus. According to a new report from TMZ, it was the young boy’s father who came up with the clever title.

Sources say that, once the musically talented couple discovered they were having their first boy together — they already share 3-year-old Kulture Kiari Cephus — they immediately started throwing around name suggestions, with the Migos member’s idea coming out on top.

As for his middle name, Set, it’s been reported that Cardi and Offset were initially considering Marley as a play on the “WAP” hitmaker’s middle name but ultimately, Wave Marley Cephus just didn’t sound right to her.

When their bundle of joy arrived on September 4th, and his parents were able to get a good look at him, they went with Set — inspired by a nickname given to his dad by friends.

While the “Clout” collaborators enjoyed their first few months at home with baby Wave, they primarily kept him off social media and out of the spotlight, reportedly due to the negativity they’re hit with online at times, especially directed towards their children.

The Cardi B-mini me may be just a few months old, but he’s already got an incredible jewelry collection thanks to Elliot Elliante, who iced the young boy out with diamond studs, tennis chains, a custom wave charm, and a Miami link chain said to be worth nearly $200K.

Wave Set Cephus made his debut on the cover of Essence alongside his older biological sister, as well as his half siblings from Offset’s prior relationships — read more about that here, and let us know what your thoughts on the unique baby name are in the comments.
