Blueface Cops $2.2 Million Home Amid Streaming Boom

Alexander Cole — Thu, 03 Sep 2026 18:40:37 +0000

If you have been paying attention to Blueface lately, then you would know that the man has been doing a ton of streaming on Kick. While we haven’t gotten a revenue reveal in some time, Blue stated just a few weeks ago that he was making $50K per week. Since that time, his channel has only gotten bigger.

In that time, Blueface has also welcomed his newborn son with Nevaeh. As it turns out, his growing family has inspired him to upgrade his living situation. According to TMZ, the artist recently purchased a home in Moorpark, California, for $2.25 million.

This new home has five bedrooms, five and a half bathrooms, and a four-car garage to house Blue’s Corvette. Upon closing on the house, Blueface was gifted a gold key with Jesus on it.

For Blueface, his foray into streaming has proven to be quite controversial, for a plethora of reasons. Just yesterday, he was swatted yet again while going on a date with KKVSH. Meanwhile, he has been swatted two times before that; one of those times even involved his newborn child.

Furthermore, there have been accusations that Blueface has been mistreating Nevaeh and Chrisean Rock during these streams. Blueface and Nevaeh have gotten into numerous arguments at times, which has left fans feeling uncomfortable.

Blueface is taking full advantage of Kick’s lackadaisical content moderation standards. Kick has been a breeding ground for controversial figures like N3on and Adin Ross as a result of how they handle their terms of service.

If Blueface were on a platform like Twitch, he would have been shut down 10 times over by now.

Celina Powell Hit With Permanent Ban From Hard Rock Stadium

Alexander Cole — Thu, 03 Sep 2026 17:30:43 +0000

Celina Powell is a controversial individual for a multitude of reasons. However, her controversial nature has come with some consequences. For instance, she is no longer welcome at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

According to Complex, Powell was attending a Miami Dolphins preseason game last Friday. At one point, stadium security asked her to take her feet off the wall. She then told the staff: “Shut the fuck up talking to me.” This subsequently led to Sheriff’s deputies moderating the situation.

Powell was accused of disorderly conduct, and from there, the Hard Rock Stadium hit her with a permanent ban. If she wants to go see the Dolphins, she will have to go do it when they are on the road.

Additionally, Powell has made it crystal clear that she has no plans to dispute the decision. Clearly, she doesn’t really care.

Celina Powell In Trouble

Celina Powell has been dealing with some legal issues as of late. For instance, she was arrested last month in Miami for driving with a suspended license. As Complex reports, she has numerous citations and bench warrants for things like traffic violations, window tint, and, of course, driving without a license.

If you have followed Powell over the years, you certainly understand that she marches to the beat of her own drum. She very infamously pretended to be pregnant by Offset, all while Cardi B was pregnant herself. Furthermore, she made a career out of exposing rappers for sleeping with her.

The antics haven’t slowed down over the last decade, and with this incident at Hard Rock Stadium, she is giving no indication that they ever will.

Young Thug’s YSL Records Partners With Mega Millions Music For Special Deal With Yume

Alexander Cole — Thu, 03 Sep 2026 17:00:00 +0000

Yume is an artist who made an impact at a young age, earning a producer credit on Young Thug and Chris Brown’s smash hit “Go Crazy.” She has platinum hits to her name, and she even has a Grammy nomination to match.

Now, Yume finds herself excelling as a solo artist. Her track “Love & Tequila” with Cash Cobain was released back on June 10, and already has over 300K views over on YouTube. It’s only a matter of time before she reaches superstar status, and that talent is being noticed.

In fact, it was announced that Young Thug’s YSL Records is partnering with Mega Millions Music for a special deal centered around Yume. TikTok’s SoundOn has joined in on this collab, as they are going to help on the distribution side. Meanwhile, the YSL Records deal is already in full effect as Yume will be joining the label’s “New Generation Tour” this September. The tour includes Thugger, NAV, Tezzus,
diamond*, 1300Saint, Iyrus, Biggs, and Unky.

Yume Shows Out On “Love & Tequila” With Cash Cobain

Yume was also just featured on two songs from YSL’s latest compilation album, Slime Language 3. Needless to say, Young Thug sees the full potential in her talent. Something he expressed as the deal was announced.

“YSL has always been about pushing culture forward and giving artists the freedom to become who they’re supposed to be,” Young Thug said in a statement. “YUME has that energy—you can hear it, you can see it, and it’s global. Partnering with Mega Millions is about putting the right team and the right resources around her without changing what makes her special. We’re building something bigger.”

It’s an exciting partnership, and with YSL backing, you will be hearing more of Yume, very soon.

Keefe D’s Attorneys Go After Police Failure After Guilty Verdict In Tupac Murder Case

Aron A. — Thu, 03 Sep 2026 16:37:57 +0000

Keefe D has been found guilty of the murder of Tupac Shakur–a conviction that came 30 years after the rapper was shot in the streets of Las Vegas. Despite a memoir and public statements on numerous podcasts and platforms, Keefe D maintained his innocence throughout the trial and intends to appeal the verdict.

According to All Hip Hop, his attorney argued that the handling of the investigation was ruined from the start since the police didn’t go after key leads outside of Davis. Michael Sanft said there were plenty of people who wanted to kill Tupac at the time. And while he gave credit to the jurors for doing their job, he believed that they didn’t push back against assumptions made by the prosecution.

“They were inquisitive, but my problem is that I don’t believe they stood up at the end,” Sanft told reporters. “I think what they did is they sort of just allowed this to happen this way without challenging the premises that everyone else had.”

Keefe D’s Attorney Speaks Out

One of the premises surrounded the ownership of the white Cadillac. “What I’ll tell you flat out is that there is evidence out there of ownership of Cadillacs that was never looked into by people that had some motive here to get rid of Tupac Shakur,” he said.

The white Cadillac, of course, was the vehicle that rolled up next to the black BMW that Tupac and Suge were driving in on September 7th, 1996, when it was shot up. What Sanft took issue with is that the prosecution didn’t have a murder weapon, evidence of the rental car or whose name it was rented under, or even that Keefe D was in Las Vegas at the time of the shooting. The jurors largely relied on Keefe D’s statements to reach their verdict. Sanft thinks that the defense had an uphill battle to fight because of the failures mentioned, along with the legal motions that were shut down before the trial even began. Keefe D is expected to be sentenced on October 13th.

Nike GT Future “Varsity Red” Official Look Revealed

Ben Atkinson — Thu, 03 Sep 2026 16:18:06 +0000

The Nike GT Future “Varsity Red” is set to release September 8th, 2026. It’s priced at $210 through Nike. Foot Locker, DSG, and other basketball retailers should carry it too.

The style code is FZ5590-603. This is a men’s sizing release and Nike hasn’t confirmed a specific launch time just yet.

A glossy metallic red covers most of the molded upper here. Black hits the tongue, collar, lining, outsole, and Swoosh branding. That contrast keeps the shoe from feeling like one solid block of color.

The GT Future itself first debuted during NBA All-Star Weekend last year. Wale wore an early pair off-court during that same event. Several Nike athletes also tested the model on-court that weekend.

This “Varsity Red” pulls direct inspiration from the 2001 Air Hyperflight. That shoe carried the same shiny, tank-like presence back in its era. It’s a callback to a very specific stretch of early 2000s basketball style.

Molded, hard-shell sneakers like this one have come back into the sneaker conversation lately. The GT Future leans fully into that Foamposite-like territory. Between the shape and the finish, this colorway feels built for that comparison.

Foot Locker is having their Labor Day Sale with an EXTRA 25% off sale styles with code EXTRA25.

The Hyperflight wasn’t just another performance shoe back when it dropped. It became a real off-court flex during the G-Unit era. Chrome-heavy sneakers like this matched the leather and other outfits of that time.

This “Varsity Red” leans into that same energy almost 20 years later. The reflective finish looks closer to poured metal than standard synthetic leather. It’s built to stand out just as much off the court as on it, and this pair certainly achieves that.

Nike’s Greater Than line has taken some risks with the GT Future’s design. Most colorways so far have stayed fairly simple and sport-driven. This one keeps that same restraint while still making a loud statement through color alone.

For collectors chasing that early 2000s aesthetic, this release checks a lot of boxes. It’s flashy, shiny, and unmistakably rooted in that specific hip-hop-adjacent sneaker era.

DJ Akademiks Baffled By Doodie Lo’s Lil Durk Trial Antics

Alexander Cole — Thu, 03 Sep 2026 15:51:16 +0000

DJ Akademiks has been covering the Lil Durk trial on stream every single day. This has led to discussions with people who know Durk, as well as screaming matches between FBG Duck’s mom and Wack 100.

Last night, Akademiks found himself particularly interested in Doodie Lo. Lo has been outside the courthouse every single day. At first, he was just there showing support. However, in recent days, he has begun streaming with N3on, while also recording music videos.

This has subsequently led to criticism from fans online who claim this does nothing to help Lil Durk. Akademiks has been one of the most critical people as it pertains to Doodie Lo, and it’s not hard to understand why.

In fact, last night, Ak had Doodie Lo on the phone with Adin Ross. That’s when Doodie Lo suggested the two link up in Miami to stream. Ak couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

Akademiks also offered his critique of Doodie Lo’s new track “What You Done 2 Me.” He said that the song is actually pretty good, although the timing could not be any worse for Durk. Ak even spoke about how the jurors are getting restless and that they want the trial to be over. Therefore, the last thing they want to see is a music video from outside the courthouse.

The trial is expected to reach closing arguments on Tuesday before jury deliberations. If convicted, Lil Durk will face life in prison.

This remains a developing story, so be sure to stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Serayah Denies That She Took Joey Bada$$ Back

Aron A. — Thu, 03 Sep 2026 15:45:42 +0000

Despite what you may have thought, Serayah and Joey Bada$$ aren’t actually back together. Following an interview with TMZ, where she confirmed that they were good, fans quickly speculated that she took him back. But that’s not the case. A rep for the Empire star said that the two only speak as it relates to co-parenting and that she already returned the engagement ring.

TMZ caught Serayah at West Hollywood hotspot Craig’s on Tuesday night when she was asked about the status between herself and Joey. During the brief interview, she said that they’re both “doing great” while asserting that both of them are “hoping for the best.” Although she didn’t say a whole lot during the encounter with the paps, it was enough to spark speculation that they were back together, especially since she didn’t confirm or deny whether she returned the engagement ring. Most interpreted it as the two working out their problems privately, though comments from her rep indicate that isn’t the case at all.

In a message shared to social media last week, Serayah announced that they parted ways after “repeated infidelity.”

“After much thought, I have made the difficult decision to end my engagement and relationship with the father of my child, Joey. I loved deeply, believed wholeheartedly in the life we were building, and wanted nothing more than to protect our family,” she said. “Unfortunately, I also had to face a painful truth: there had been repeated infidelity throughout our relationship, including during some of the most vulnerable and meaningful moments of my life.”

Ultimately, she said that the two of them were focused on raising their son, who they welcomed together in June 2025, followed by the announcement of their engagement. No word from Joey yet on the matter but we’ll keep you poted on any further updates.

Kanye West Refutes Buying Extravagant New Grills After Jeweler Uses His Name

Alexander Cole — Thu, 03 Sep 2026 15:03:29 +0000

Kanye West has been known to get some pretty extravagant grills from time to time. Many of you probably remember the grills he got back when he was allegedly addicted to nitrous and in the midst of a Nazi episode.

Those grills left a lasting impression on fans. That is why some were concerned when a jeweler by the name of Don Rose took to Instagram on Wednesday to reveal that they had made some new grills for Ye. The grills look beautiful and are exceptionally clean. Unfortunately, some fans thought this might be a bad sign of what was to come.

However, Kanye West was quick to respond to the jeweler. When a Ye fan page on X reposted Don Rose, Ye entered the comments saying, “I don’t know who this person is. I didn’t order these.”

Ye’s response currently has one million views on the X platform. Meanwhile, he also accrued 70K likes. It just goes to show that whenever West gets back on the platform, his fans are quick to support.

All of this comes as Ye recently unveiled three new tour dates in the American Southwest. In October, he will perform in Texas twice, and he has a November date planned for Phoenix, Arizona.

It’s been a relatively quiet time for Ye amid these shows. He has committed to apologizing for his past actions, and he has not been in a public controversy in months. Fans are hopeful that this lasts for an infinite amount of time.

As for the grills, Don Rose has yet to respond.
