Prior to the game, Smith made it clear that if the Knicks were to lose, he was going to blame it on President Trump. After last night’s game, Trump was made aware of these comments. He then went for Smith’s intelligence, suggesting he is a low-IQ individual.

On First Take this morning, Smith gave his response and did not hold back. He urged Trump to debate him on one of his platforms, noting that the President has been ducking him for months.

Stephen A. Smith Claps Back

“You wanna talk about IQ, I could say I could put my IQ against yours, I got something even better I could ask you why you been running from me for the past year since I asked you to talk to me, I could ask you to debate me since you think you’re that dude. We could go a myriad of ways,” Smith said.

Smith knows how to sound like a mob boss in these moments, and that was especially true here. Stephen A. is someone who values his intelligence, and to have it called out by President Trump was the ultimate insult.

Ultimately, this Knicks basketball business gets serious. New Yorkers are starved for a championship, and they will snap at anything that potentially puts those championship hopes at risk.

BULLY was an okay right return to form. Unfortunately, the album was shrouded in concerns that it may have been made with a bit too much AI. While Ye claimed to have re-recorded his vocals, some still aren’t convinced that he left the AI off the project.

Regardless, Ye is set to drop some more music, and on Monday, he came through with a surprise single, “Gemini Season.” This new song just so happened to come with a new music video featuring his wife, Bianca Censori.

Kanye West & Bianca Censori In New Video

Whenever Ye has a partner in a music video, you know that it is about to get raunchy. That was absolutely the case in this music video, as we see Bianca Censori in a revealing corset, milking a cow. At one point in the video, Ye comes into the frame and feeds Censori some milk, which pours all the way down her body. The imagery is meant to be provocative, and at this point, nothing surprises us when it comes to West.

Censori recently celebrated Ye’s 49th birthday in style. Clearly, these two are having a good time with one another. This music video is just further proof that the couple is thriving and doesn’t seem to care about the noise around them.

Stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates pertaining to Ye’s upcomign Deluxe.

As many of you know, when Akademiks starts a beef, he tends to pile on in an overwhelming fashion. Well, that is exactly what he did yesterday as he directed his frustrations to a plethora of Atlanta artists. For instance, he referred to Gucci Mane, Young Thug, Lil Baby, and Gunna as rats.

DJ Akademiks Continues To Take Shots

In addition to posting memes, Akademiks had a rant about the Atlanta artists mentioned above. He feels as though the artists in Atlanta have been creating a culture of snitching, and that it’s ridiculous for Lil Baby to refer to him as the Feds.

“Lil baby. And the Atlanta rat rappers ain’t finna escape. Imma make sure of it. Detective Gucci. Lieutenant young thug and sergeant Lil baby. We on yall ass now,” Akademiks wrote. “Before I let a rat lover like lil baby ever call me the Feds I quit hip hop. U gon call ur fellow Atlanta rappers rats before u talk bout big Ak if it’s the last thing to do. U young thug gunna Gucci. Yall need a group name.”

DJ Akademiks and Lil Baby clearly do not like each other, and we do not foresee that changing anytime soon. When Akademiks goes live on stream, we’re sure he will continue this rant.

As for Lil Baby, he has already said what he wants to say.

Whenever JAŸ-Z is outside, it is good for hip-hop. In fact, he was outside on Monday night as the New York Knicks took on the San Antonio Spurs in Game 3 of the NBA Finals. The game was played at Madison Square Garden, and there was lots of commotion inside the arena. President Donald Trump was in attendance, and big-time celebrities were sitting courtside.

In the photos below, you can see that Hov was one of the many celebrities at the game. He was on the court prior to the game, and, unsurprisingly, this drew lots of fan attention.

JAŸ-Z Takes In the Knicks Game

Prior to the game, the legendary artist could be seen outside of the Roc Nation offices, greeting fans. It was a rare sight, wth Jay signing autographs on vinyl records. This is something you don’t see every day. That said, the Knicks making the NBA Finals has proven to be a huge moment for the city, and Hov is taking full advantage.

As it pertains to the NBA Finals, the Knicks went into last night’s game with a 2-0 series lead. In the end, the Spurs won the game thanks to a monster game from Victor Wembanyama. Now, the series is at 2-1, and for the first time, the Knicks are feeling the pressure.

The NBA Finals appear to be going the distance, but the Knicks still have an opportunity to go back to San Antonio up 3-1.

Just a couple of weekends ago, JAŸ-Z broke the internet with a Roots Picnic freestyle in which he took some shots at Drake, Tory Lanez, Kanye West, and even Nicki Minaj. Furthermore, there are now rumblings that a JAŸ-Z album is on the horizon.

Today, Hov kept the good times rolling by announcing two new Stadium shows this Fall as he continues to celebrate the release of Reasonable Doubt. The first show will go down in Paris at the Stade De France on September 10th. Subsequently, there will be a concert at SoFi Stadium on October 23rd.

JAŸ-Z To Perform This Fall

For those looking to cop tickets, they will be going on sale this Friday, June 12, at 10 AM EST. Overall, these tickets are going to be extremely difficult to come by. However, there is always a chance that a second show is added in each city. Originally, there were only going to be two concerts at Yankee Stadium, although that eventually changed when the demand became too high.

Ultimately, these shows are going to be exciting for all of the fans out there. It is all just further proof that JAŸ-Z is back outside and is ready to show people he is still here.

One can’t help but wonder if any of this means an album is on the horizon. It almost feels like an inevitability at this point.

This subsequently led to his break from streaming. He has not gone live in 2026, and there have been rumblings about what his next move will be. Over the past few months, he has documented his reading journey. Furthermore, he has been working on his fashion brand, Vivet. However, the fans have been hoping for a stream.

Well, Cenat made a massive announcement last night. Below, you will find an elaborate, Harry Potter-inspired promotional video for “Streamer University 2.” This will be his next big streaming project, as he renews one of his most successful ideas to date.

The first Streamer University featured some big names teaching classes full of wannabe streamers in need of guidance. Overall, it was a unique idea and one that led to big ratings for Kai. Now, we are getting a sequel, and streamers are being encouraged to enroll.

At this time, it is unclear when the first Streamer University 2 stream will take place. It can be presumed that applicants will have to be vetted before anything can take place.

Regardless, the prospect of Cenat’s return to streaming is an exciting one for fans everywhere. There was a sense that he may never stream again. However, that appears not to be the case. Whether or not Cenat goes back to full-time streaming after this, remains to be seen.

At the time, Tay-K was facing a home invasion and a murder charge. In the end, the artist was convicted on both and was hit with 135 years in prison. It has been said that his release will take place in 2099, when the artist is 99 years old.

However, there have been some erroneous online rumors suggesting that Tay-K will be freed before then. In fact, some blogs have run with the idea that Tay-K is going to be released imminently. On Monday, the artist received new mugshots. Subsequently, his Twitter account became active, posting a two-word message: “It’s True.”

Is Tay-K Coming Home?

The timing of this message suggests the X account is responding to the recent rumors surrounding his release. However, it is unclear whether or not Tay-K is even in control of that account. After all, anyone can get verified on X these days.

Meanwhile, rumors of his release are completely unsubstantiated. Authorities have not hinted at such a thing. Given his projected release in 73 years from now, it seems highly unlikely that he would be let free at this time. Instead, fans are simply putting too much stock in reports that appear to be materializing out of thin air.

X and other platforms have been a steady source of misinformation over the past decade. This Tay-K situation is no exception. However, if any of that changes, we will be sure to let you know.
