According to TMZ, the prison warden has now issued a response to Tory. California Correctional Institution Warden Thomas Valdez denied any responsibility for Tory’s injuries and claimed that they did not violate his rights. 

Valdez admitted that Tory Lanez was stabbed by an inmate by the name of Santino Casio. Casio reportedly created a weapon inside the prison and was housed in the same unit as Tory. However, in the lawsuit, Tory said that they shouldn’t have been in the same unit because of Casio’s violent past.

Warden Responds To Tory Lanez

Ultimately, Tory said that the prison authorities weren’t readily available when they should have been in that moment, while alleging that the facility “deliberately” remained indifferent to violence occurring among inmates. However, Valdez claimed that he had no responsibility for it. The court filing alleges that Tory “consented to his prison housing classification and assignment and assumed any risk alleged… with that housing.”

Outside of this lawsuit, Tory Lanez has been hosting listening parties in his absence. His New York City event proved to be a massive success, leading to increased demand for the other concerts and bigger venues. This past weekend, he hosted the L.A. edition, which featured Blueface, Chrisean Rock, Tyga, and more. 

We will keep you posted on any further updates surrounding Tory Lanez and his $100 million federal lawsuit against the prison.

Smith has been on a political arc over the last few years. He is constantly a guest on Hannity over on Fox News. Furthermore, he consistently finds himself talking about politics on his own platforms. He’s even been on Real Time With Bill Maher a few times.

Given his position as a sports commentator, some have expressed disappointment with Smith’s desire to engage in conservative politics. On his show over the weekend, Smith addressed this disappointment, stating that he won’t back away from a conversation with anyone.

Stephen A. Smith Continues His Political Arc

“By not trying to talk to one another, by not trying to have a conversation, it’s foolish, it’s childish, and I’m not gonna do that,” Stephen A. Smith said.

He subsequently went on to brag that Trump has already invited him back to the White House. Furthermore, he claimed that Maher and Trump hashed things out during the dinner, and disagreed on several issues for hours.

Regardless of what Smith is saying, it is clear that he wants to get closer to these political figures. He has always been an ambitious person, especially when it comes to his standing as the host of First Take. Smith even floated running for President someday.

You can’t help but feel as though his desire to run for office isn’t also fueling his desire to rub elbows with the President of the United States. Either way, it’s jarring to see.

Meek Mill Continues 2026 Run

Although we haven’t received a new album from Meek, the rapper has continued to keep his foot on the gas this year. For one, he announced the first Dream Chasers Summit at Temple University in 15 years–a massive milestone for his entrepreneurial ventures. Moreover, he dropped off songs like “Wanna Be Free” with G Herbo over the weekend, “600 Racks,” and “Nightmares To Dreams,” the sequel to his massive intro from Dreams & Nightmares. 

Perhaps with the upcoming show, we might also get a new album announcement from Meek. It’s been five years since releasing Expensive Pain, which debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200. 

We’ll keep you posted on any further updates. Let us know if you’ll be attending Dream Chasers Nights: Meek Mill & Friends in the comments below.

While she took a few years in between albums, Am I The Drama? proved to be exactly what fans wanted. There were some big hits on there, and her catalogue only grew to new heights.

On Monday, she opted to take on her biggest challenge yet in the form of an NPR Tiny Desk performance. Hip-Hop has been a staple of NPR Tiny Desk, and Cardi B’s style is certainly fun to hear in this stripped-down form.

Cardi B For NPR

As you can imagine, Cardi B played her biggest hits during the performance. These are the songs the fans wanted to hear, and in this live environment, they worked quite well.

Cardi’s energy was infectious during the performance, as she was damn near giddy while doing these tracks. It makes sense. NPR Tiny Desk has become a bucket list performance for many artists. It’s also not the kind of performance you expect from Cardi, especially given the energy of her songs. However, she makes it work, and you have to admire it.

Let us know what you thought of Cardi B’s performance in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

According to The Numbers, the film brought in $13M on Friday, $10.8M on Saturday, and $7.2M on Sunday.

Frankly, it did perform worse than anticipated, but debuting at #1 this past weekend is a flex in its own right. 50 Cent made sure to make a mention of it this morning while throwing shade at the other movies that debuted this past weekend. “50 does $51,000,000 the first week… I beached Whalefall LOL,” he wrote.

50 Cent’s Street Fighter Does Big Numbers

Whalefall has already earned rave reviews, but its pull couldn’t beat out Street Fighter, or even the other two major competitors this weekend, You Can See Everything and The Other Mommy. 

“You know damn well I wasn’t gonna get beat by a damn whale movie LOL,” he wrote. “Fat boy gonna say bots [bought] the tickets,” he continued, taking a quick jab at Rick Ross in the process.

He added, “Not bad for a Kid from South Side.”

50 Cent stars as Balrog in the adaptation of Street Fighter. The movie also boasts a pretty impressive cast, including Noah Centineo, Andrew Koji, Callina Liang, Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, Andrew Schulz, Eric Andre, and more. Fif revealed that he was in the gym for three hours a day to prepare for the role of Balrog and to build the physique of the character. 

We will keep you posted on any further updates surrounding 50 Cent and the success of Street Fighter. Have you seen the movie? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

According to reports, Hurts played with this blood clot during the team’s London game against the Jacksonville Jaguars two Sundays ago. However, he was ruled out against the Carolina Panthers over the weekend.

It was believed that the blood clots were only in his leg. That said, the discovery of more in his lungs is truly horrifying. Now, he must go through rigorous testing and treatment in order to fix the issue. This includes blood thinners and numerous imaging tests to track progress.

Additionally, according to Adam Schefter, it has been revealed that Hurts is officially out for the season.

A Scary Injury For Jalen Hurts

If you are a football fan, you can’t help but be put off by this report. Mostly due to the fact that the Eagles let Hurts play with this injury, despite being told not to sleep as a precaution.

The Philadelphia Eagles will be scrutinized by reporters this week, and for very good reason. They put Hurts’ health at risk, and it could have gone very badly. A pulmonary embolism is life-threatening if not treated. They can also come out of nowhere, with minimal symptoms to alert you that there is something wrong.

Our thoughts go out to Jalen Hurts during this difficult time. Another reminder that some things are bigger than football.

Pooh’s attorneys explained how their client has suffered greatly because he’s in solitary confinement. In their filing, they detail how he’s had to deal with increased anxiety, poor sleeping habits, and that the current situation maintains a limitation on family visits. “Mr. Williams reports that the isolation is adversely affecting his mental health,” the attorneys wrote in their briefing. They also mentioned the inaccuracies in why the staff placed him under 23-hour isolation. Apparently, it’s for safety measures, yet they never disclosed what exactly the threat was to begin with.

Pooh Shiesty’s Arrest

The situation stems from the alleged robbery of Gucci Mane earlier this year. Prosecutors said they have video that allegedly shows Gucci Mane being demanded to drop Pooh Shiesty from his label at gunpoint. Pooh Shiesty, along with his dad and Big30, were among the nine men arrested for the alleged incident.

Big30 was later released from custody but over the weekend, he shared a message of solidarity with Pooh Shiesty. “As we fight this case together, we still got all the club venues and arenas going crazy I’m on house arrest you in a cell they going crazy like we present… Never give up on us we God favorite,” he wrote alongside a photo of the two of them.

Meanwhile, Gucci Mane just dropped off his new project, Against On Odds, over the weekend, which contains a handful of shots at his former 1017 signees, including Pooh Shiesty. Earlier this year, Gucci also released “Crash Dummy” in response to the incident where he also threw shade at Pooh.

This new deluxe is going to feature songs that have been in the vault for years. As a result, fans are looking forward to the project. That said, a release date has not been formally announced. Given Rocky’s history, fans should probably proceed with caution before getting too excited.

On Monday, Rocky actually surprised his fans by coming through with a music video for “Shroom Clouds.” This new video is just as surreal as the song, and it is directed by him, as well as Aisulton Seitov and Pietro Biz Biasia. North of Now and Partizan are the producers on this visual.

A$AP Rocky’s “Shroom Clouds” Video

This visual release is further proof that A$AP Rocky is in rollout mode. After teasing Disc 2 for the better part of the year, he has a new single and a new video out. That tells us that he has the creative juices flowing and is looking to connect with his fanbase.

Ultimately, we will have to wait and see as it pertains to the release date of this deluxe album. As we have stated before, the artist has been known to delay things. After all, Don’t Be Dumb was years in the making following the 2018 release of TESTING.

Let us know what you think of this music video, in the comments below.

Bryant got to do her runway walk as part of the Pink portion of the night. For those who are unaware, Pink is a sub-label of Victoria’s Secret. Therefore, her look didn’t include the wings like some of the other models had. Instead, Natalia Bryant sported a streetwear-inspired look that still contained the high fashion sensibilities of the brand.

This outfit included lots of bedazzled elements. Overall, that included Bryant’s jeans, which were covered in colorful gems. Her bra was black with Pink written in pink leopard-print font. From there, she also had a pink shrug to bring it all together.

The accessories were also something to behold. From the tiara to the purse to the stuffed dogs hanging off her belt loops.

The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show has been a staple of the fashion and lingerie world for years at this point. The inclusion of Bryant just goes to show that she is a star in the modeling world. Her work with other big brands further validates this to be the case.
