Aron A. — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 17:21:05 +0000

Meek Mill recently declared that he could sell out Madison Square Garden and the Barclays Center if he had the chance. While we have yet to see that come true, we could imagine that he’ll have no difficulty selling out any arena or stadium in Philadelphia.

The rapper announced the Dream Chasers Nights: Meek Mill & Friends concert, a homecoming show that will take place on November 24th at Philadelphia’s Xfinity Mobile Arena. He hasn’t confirmed which friends will be joining him but we could imagine that he’ll have a few heavy hitters popping up on stage.

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.

Cardi B Delivers Scintillating NPR Tiny Desk Performance

Alexander Cole — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 16:00:46 +0000

Cardi B has proven to be one of the biggest artists in the world over the last decade. Following the release of “Bodak Yellow,” she became a superstar, and she followed it up with an impeccable debut, Invasion of Privacy.

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.

50 Cent’s “Street Fighter” Tops The Box Office On Opening Weekend

Aron A. — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 15:28:38 +0000

50 Cent isn’t surprised that his new movie, Street Fighter, has had a massive box office impact. Street Fighter topped the box office globally and domestically this past weekend, bringing in $51.1M, which broke down into $20.1M from 65 markets and $31M from the United States and Canada. It’s an impressive feat for Paramount, even if the reviews have been mixed.

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.

Jalen Hurts Out For The Year After Blood Clots Found In Lungs

Alexander Cole — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 14:54:03 +0000

Some rough news out of Philadelphia this morning as Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been diagnosed with multiple blood clots in his lungs. This diagnosis comes just a week after Hurts was diagnosed with a superficial blood clot in his calf.

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.

How committed is Jalen Hurts to football? After initially being diagnosed with a superficial blood clot in London, doctors told him not to sleep as a precaution, so he had been awake for roughly 36 hours when he started against the Jaguars, throwing for 220 yards and a TD. https://t.co/rAm0xGNHk0

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 Shiesty’s Legal Team Will Challenge 23-Hour Isolation

Aron A. — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 14:42:51 +0000

Pooh Shiesty remains behind bars as he awaits trial for allegedly holding Gucci Mane at gunpoint, but his attorneys argue that he’s facing major psychological risks as he’s placed in 23-hour isolation. According to Billboard, his legal team plans to challenge the decision to place him in solitary confinement.

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.

Alexander Cole — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 14:42:01 +0000

A$AP Rocky dropped a new song called “Shroom Clouds” on Friday alongside Jeremih and reggie. Overall, this is a surrealist track that is set to appear on the artist’s upcoming Don’t Be Dumb Disc 2 deluxe.

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.

Natalia Bryant Shines At Victoria’s Secret 2026 Fashion Show

Alexander Cole — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 14:16:46 +0000

Natalia Bryant, the 23-year-old daughter of NBA legend Kobe Bryant and Vanessa Bryant, made her debut at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Sunday. It was a major achievement for the model, who has done past work with the likes of Adidas and Versace.

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.

Natalia Bryant wasn’t the only famous person in attendance at the show. Models like Irina Shayk and Gigi Hadid were also present. Meanwhile, as we previously reported, Megan Thee Stallion brought the house down with her performance.

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.

room service – Song by xaviersobased

Alexander Cole — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 13:54:50 +0000

xaviersobased is one of those artists who continues to elevate his sound. With every new project and single, he tries to evolve. However, he does so by keeping the sonics that made him so popular in the first place. Just with some different flows and heavier textures. That is certainly the case on his latest single, “room service.” With production from cruwiththe2, we get some special drum rhythms that Xavier is able to cruise over. He’s in the pocket on this one, and it feels like he just can’t miss at this point.

Songwriter Reveals Which Ariana Grande Song Was Meant For Beyoncé & JAY-Z

Alexander Cole — Mon, 19 Oct 2026 13:22:22 +0000

JAY-Z and Beyoncé’s 2018 album Everything Is Love was a hit amongst fans. There were some dope songs on the tracklist, and some wonder if another Carters project is in the cards.

According to songwriter Ilya Salmanzadeh, there is a famous Ariana Grande song which almost appeared on Everything Is Love. During an interview with Ross Golan on And The Writer Is…, Salmanzadeh admits that “God Is A Woman” was originally written with Hov and Bey in mind. However, after a writing session with Grande, it became clear that this would be her song.

“It didn’t happen,” Ilya said matter-of-factly. In case you are unaware, “God Is A Woman” was a smash hit in 2018, and it appeared on Grande’s album Sweetener. Furthermore, it hit number 8 on the Billboard Hot 100. It’s also currently four times platinum.

JAY-Z & Beyonce Almost Had God Is A Woman”

“When we started again with Ari, we were thinking maybe it could be her singing the chorus, and we’d get a rap feature, but then when she heard the song, she was like, ‘No, we’re writing this for me.’ I was like, ‘Okay, fine.’ She just wrote all the verses and the pre-chorus and all those crazy harmonies that are in there. She did it all that day,” Salmanzadeh explained.

While the song turned out to be perfect for Grande, you cannot help but wonder what this song would have sounded like in JAY-Z and Beyoncé’s hands. It’s one of those “what if” scenarios fans love to speculate about.

That said, Grande did suit the track, and it will forever be hers.
