Lil Durk’s Bond Decision Remains In Limbo One Week After Hearing

Alexander Cole — Thu, 12 Nov 2026 13:29:27 +0000

Last week, Lil Durk had a bond hearing, in which his legal team argued why he deserves his freedom back prior to his VICAR trial in August 2027. Durk was found not guilty of the murder-for-hire plot to kill Lul Pab. Therefore, his legal team believes he deserves some kind of restitution after spending the last two years in jail.

Durk’s bail package was impressive. It included a $1 million payment, as well as royalties from music publishing. Meanwhile, there were also character letters from the likes of JAY-Z, J. Cole, and many others.

Just hours before this bond hearing, the prosecution stepped in with a filing of their own. It was here that they accused Durk of bringing contraband into the jail. They also spoke about the character letters and how they are of little substance.

According to reporter Michael Blackshire, it’s been exactly one week since the hearing, and Durk still doesn’t have an answer.

It’s 2:00 pm. It has officially been a full week since the bond hearing. Judge Fitzgerald has not given his decision on bond as of yet
— Michael Blackshire (@Blackshireflick) November 11, 2026

Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald had made it clear that he had a lot to consider. He was going to review both filings and come up with a decision. However, that decision hasn’t come yet, and fans are getting anxious for an answer.

When Will Lil Durk Find Out If He Got Bond?

Quite simply, there is no timeline for when Lil Durk will get an answer about his bond. It all depends on Judge Fitzgerald’s discretion. The Judge has other cases to consider, and there is no telling where Durk is on the priority list.

For now, the rapper, his legal team, and the fans are just going to have to hang tight until more information is known.

This remains a developing story, so stay tuned to HNHH for updates.

Dame Dash Goes Viral After Calling Monogamy “Gay”

Alexander Cole — Thu, 12 Nov 2026 01:00:00 +0000

Dame Dash is known for going viral with his comments. At this point, he will say anything to remain in the headlines, and his latest remarks are a perfect example of that.

In a recent interview with Sommer Hill, Dame Dash was asked about monogamy and how he views it. This subsequently led to a convoluted answer about past civilizations and how only having one wife is gay. He believes the Europeans were notoriously gay, yet believed in being monogamous.

“A one wife situation is gay. Europeans are notoriously gay. The Spartans were gay, the Greeks were gay, Alexander the Great was gay, Hitler was super-gay,” Dame Dash said.

Dame Dash Won’t Stop Making Headlines

Dame Dash was asked about his thoughts on monogamy and says that having only one wife is “gay.”

“A one wife situation is gay. Europeans are notoriously gay. The Spartans were gay, the Greeks were gay, Alexander the Great was gay, Hitler was super-gay.”

Dash continued, “If you…
— The Art Of Dialogue (@ArtOfDialogue_) November 11, 2026

In his view, monogamy is being pushed on other cultures, and he rejects that. He even went so far as to say that in some cultures, the men married women but had multiple boyfriends on the side.

“If you look at history, the tradition was to have one wife to have babies and have 7 boyfriends,” he concluded.

As you can imagine, these comments have started making the rounds on social media. What is interesting about that is that the comments were made about a month ago. However, The Art of Dialogue on X reposted the clip, and now, fans are weighing in.

There are a few people co-signing Dame Dash’s mentality. For the most part, fans are not having this whatsoever. The former music mogul is being clowned, and it’s not a position that is uncommon for him over the last few years.

Only time will tell what kind of shenanigans Dame Dash will find himself in next.

Drake and Sexyy Red have become good friends over the past few years and are also frequent collaborators. Some fans have criticized Drake for this friendship.

Steph Curry Puts Gilbert Arenas And Nick Young On Blast After Ayesha Curry Comments

Alexander Cole — Wed, 11 Nov 2026 21:35:44 +0000

Ayesha Curry is being hit with unfair criticism over her Roku move, Second Chance Holiday, and Steph Curry is clapping back. After comments made by Gilbert Arenas on his podcast with Nick Young, We Said What We Said, the Golden State Warriors legend decided to check them.

“Hey, just wanted to check in right quick. I’ve been hearing a lot of noise, and usually the noise doesn’t bother me, doesn’t bother Ayesha. But this one in particular, when you’re trying to step on the accomplishments of my wife and, obviously, leading podcast tapings and topics and giving opinions on somebody else’s wife. Nick, Gil, Emmanuel and anybody else who feels the need to want to have to jump in and give an opinion on something you don’t really know about, something that kinda speaks to a bigger conversation on how you view women in this world and what they’re allowed and what they’re not allowed to do. Even the ignorance behind how acting works.

“Obviously, I tried to laugh this one off, but something needs to be said. Anytime Ayesha Curry shows up in your headline, I kindly suggest you just give it the happy hands, the congratulations. And maybe, just maybe, the apology can be as loud as y’all leading y’all’s shows with this topic. Appreciate the free pub. Thank you for giving a nice shoutout to ‘Second Chance Holiday,’ which y’all can find on Roku, starring Ayesha Curry.”

Steph Curry calls out Nick Young, Gilbert Arenas, and others over their comments about his wife, Ayesha Curry, telling them to keep her name out of their mouths after Arenas called her the “only blemish” in the Curry family and criticized how she carries herself compared to other… pic.twitter.com/Q4wAFtddnk
— FearBuck (@FearedBuck) November 11, 2026

It was a strong statement, and one that Arenas and Young aren’t going to be able to ignore. Steph rarely speaks out in this way, but clearly, he was sick and tired of seeing people be weird about his wife.

What Did Gilbert Arenas Say About Ayesha Curry

During the most recent episode of We Said What We Said, Gilbert Arenas said that Ayesha Curry was the “only blemish” on Steph’s career. It was a wild statement that doesn’t make sense, considering all Curry did was act in a movie.

Arenas has since responded, saying that he is sorry if Curry is offended.

Gilbert Arenas responds to Steph Curry, saying Steph is perfect, but the only blemish on his family’s reputation is the things Ayesha Curry has said and done.

“I’m sorry if he’s offended.”

Chrisean Rock Finally Gets Blueface Face Tattoo Covered

Alexander Cole — Wed, 11 Nov 2026 21:30:00 +0000

Chrisean Rock and Blueface have had one of the most dysfunctional relationships on the internet. For a minute there, it seemed as though they were finally back on good terms. Blueface proposed, and they were even living together.

As it turns out, it was all just content. They made lots of money together on Kick, and once things reverted to the mean, both parties decided to be done with one another.

Recently, Blueface revealed that he was getting his Chrisean Rock tattoo covered up. In fact, he got it covered with a big image of the White House. As for Rock, she is now covering up her infamous Blueface face tattoo. She had previously gone through laser treatments, but has decided to just blast over it instead.

Chrisean Rock Says Goodbye To The Blueface Tattoo

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

Chrisean documented the process on social media. Interestingly, she could be heard laughing while the needle hit her cheek. Perhaps it was a way of coping with the pain. Or perhaps she was just eager to finally get rid of Blueface’s face. Either way, there is no denying that this is the end of an era.

Meanwhile, Blueface doesn’t seem to care about any of this. He has been doing his own thing and has already linked back up with his ex, Nevaeh. With six figures coming in every single week over on Kick, Blue has taken a Wild West approach to his streaming career.

He has effectively created his own reality show without the help of Zeus Network. It’s an impressive feat, although there is no denying that it has come at the expense of the women around him.

Yella Beezy Found Guilty Of Capital Murder In The Death Of MO3

Alexander Cole — Wed, 11 Nov 2026 20:47:14 +0000

Yella Beezy was just found guilty of Capital murder by remuneration. This ruling was in connection with MO3’s death in November of 2020. Previously, Kewon White, the shooter, was convicted of murder and sentenced to life without parole.

This most recent trial was in relation to Yella Beezy, real name Markies Conway’s, role in the murder-for-hire plot. Prosecutors alleged Conway had paid White $40,000 to commit the murder. It’s a killing that took place on November 11, 2020, exactly six years ago today. Moreover, it took place on Interstate 35 in Dallas during broad daylight.

Yella Beezy Found Guilty

Yella Beezy appeared stoic in the courtroom as the sentence was handed down. His legal team had begun their defense at the top of the week, but in the end, it was not enough to convince a jury.

There was some commotion in the courtroom as the verdict was read. Security guards were speaking to specific individuals and asking them to leave the court. It was an emotional moment for everyone involved, and it appears as though things have since leveled out.

Overall, it is expected that Yella Beezy and his legal team will appeal the decision. However, it’s rare that these kinds of cases and decisions get overturned. Regardless, we will continue to keep tabs on this developing story.

How Many Years Is Yella Beezy Facing In Prison?

Yella Beezy is facing life in prison following his guilty verdict. Capital murder by remuneration comes with two possible sentences in Texas. He could have either been given the death penalty or life without parole. Prosecutors chose not to pursue the death penalty. As a result, he will receive an automatic sentence of life in prison.

Chris Brown & Usher’s Teams Are Working Extra Hard To Get Them Back On Good Terms

Alexander Cole — Wed, 11 Nov 2026 20:30:00 +0000

Chris Brown and Usher are in the midst of beef rumors. It all started on November 5 in Atlanta, when it was reported that the two had a fight backstage before a show. Chris Brown wanted to wait for fans to get in their seats. Usher allegedly wanted to start right away. Eventually, the show was delayed by hours, and both artists rushed through their sets.

Earlier today, it was revealed that the duo was canceling their November 16 show at SoFi Stadium. Moreover, it was stated that the two were also canceling a show in Miami on December 6. This led to further rumblings of a feud.

Now, TMZ is reporting that Chris Brown and Usher’s teams are working on finding a solution to their issues behind the scenes. However, their busy schedules have made this difficult. Usher is on tour with his family, and there just hasn’t been a moment for both men to meet and hash things out.

During the most recent show in Atlanta, Chris Brown called Usher his “brother,” which is certainly good news. It shows that the two are still on relatively good terms, even despite everything that has been said over the past few days.

Where Are Usher & Chris Brown Performing Next?

Joe Budden Couldn’t Have Been Less Enthusiastic While Listening To Lil Baby’s New Album

Alexander Cole — Wed, 11 Nov 2026 19:45:00 +0000

Joe Budden has listened to a lot of music on his podcast over the years. Budden has strong opinions, and it is difficult for him to hide his facial expressions when he absolutely despises something. Unfortunately, for Lil Baby, he was the latest victim of this.

During a recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, the former rapper expressed interest in hearing some of the records from the album. One of those songs was “All My Partnas” with Young Thug, Rylo Rodriguez, and Future.

Ice felt as though this should have been one of the best joints on the entire project. However, the co-host concluded that the record missed the mark, and all of the artists phoned in their performances. Meanwhile, Budden was left completely speechless, with a blank expression on his face. It was obvious he wasn’t feeling the song, and wanted to move on to something else.

Joe Budden Listens To Fresh

The Joe Budden Podcast questions whether Lil Baby’s sound is FINISHED after reviewing his new album “FRESH,” with the crew arguing that his music sounds STUCK IN 2019.

Ice says he played the album at midnight and thought Lil Baby was BACK after hearing the intro, only for it… pic.twitter.com/dpCm25ANrZ
— CY Chels (@SeewhyChels) November 7, 2026

This subsequently led to a conversation about Atlanta trap, and whether or not the artists are putting their best feet forward. Ice believes the recent Young Thug trial has taken away the mojo. Artists don’t want to rap about the same topics as before, as they fear those lyrics can be used in court. It’s a legitimate concern, although we’re not sure all of the artists in Atlanta would agree with Ice’s assessment.

Lil Baby’s new album is on track to sell upwards of 60K units in its first week. These are modest numbers, albeit nothing close to what Lil Baby was selling in the early 2010s. It’s less of an indictment on him, and just where hip-hop finds itself right now as country continues to dominate culture.

Offset Unveils Star-Studded Features List For “GMFU”

Alexander Cole — Wed, 11 Nov 2026 19:00:00 +0000

Offset has been teasing the release of GMFU for a while now. It was supposed to come out last month, although it ultimately got delayed. Now, the album is set to be released on November 13, which is this Friday.

Before the original release date, Offset dropped a song with Don Toliver called “Every Night.” It appears as though this single may not make the final album. We say that because earlier today, Offset revealed the features for his new album, and Don Toliver was nowhere to be found.

Instead, Offset’s announcement included names like Quavo, Gunna, Loe Shimmy, OsamaSon, ApolloRed1, and Tommy Richman. These are interesting names, especially the inclusion of underground artists like OsamaSon and ApolloRed1. The songs with those specific artists are going to be an interesting listen.

Tommy Richman is also an interesting inclusion on this project. Richman is no longer the hitmaker he was just two years ago. Simply put, there is skepticism around whether or not he can still give you a chart-topping mainstream record. Apparently, Offset believes it’s still possible.

Of course, fans are going to be particularly excited about the upcoming collaboration with Quavo. Offset and Quavo have had their fair share of issues over the years, and fans are simply excited to see them link back up.

Next year, they are supposedly going to work on the Migos reunion album together, which is another reason to be excited right now.

There are still quite a few unknowns going into this Offset album, but by Friday, we will have a better sense of how the project will sound. Hopefully, a tracklist is released in the coming days.

Cardi B Unleashes On Jamaican Concert Promoter For Threatening To Sue Her

Alexander Cole — Wed, 11 Nov 2026 18:20:28 +0000

Cardi B has found herself at odds with BZR WKND Jamaica organizer Ryan Burke. If you remember, Cardi was supposed to perform at Kingston’s National Stadium on October 18. Unfortunately, 10 days before the show, the artist canceled and said, “Just know, it wasn’t me.”

During a CVM Television appearance on Monday, Burke stated that he was seeking legal action against Cardi B. He also alleged that Cardi was paid in full for her performance, totaling $2.5 million.

In a video on social media, Cardi was adamant that this was not true. For instance, she revealed she got $900,000 of her agreed-upon $1 million advance. By September 17, she was supposed to get money for production costs. That money allegedly never came. The rapper says she got $750,000, but only after she pulled out.

Cardi was furious in her response, and ultimately dared Burke to sue her. “Let me tell you something, baby. Please, I wish on the brightest star for you to sue me … so I could really get money out of you for real because the way you got me fucked up is insane,” Cardi said.

“It would be too late for cargo to send. All the flights are extremely expensive. The hotels are extremely expensive. You only gave me a week and a half because you were supposed to send the production money,” Cardi continued. “You were trying to make me pay the production of the whole entire show. And it’s like, why am I paying the production of a whole entire show if this is a festival? … You was trying to use the verbiage, like, ‘Oh no, this is not a festival. This is a Cardi B concert.’ No, this is not a Cardi B concert. This is a festival and I’m headlining. This is two different things.”

With Burke stating that she received all $2.5 million, Cardi B feels as though she is being lied on, and has made that crystal clear in her response. In fact, she is threatening to sue right back.

“It’s one thing for you to get online and lie about me, but baby, one [place] you cannot lie is that courtroom,” Cardi concluded. “Take me there because now you’re lying on me, which is defamation of character, and I’m going to sue you right the fuck back.”

This remains a developing story.
