Chet Hanks insists that his parents Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson’s are “not trippin'” over contracting coronavirus, after Tom announced that he and his wife had both tested positive for the potentially fatal disease while visiting Australia. The rapper formerly known as Chet Haze, who made headlines earlier this year after it he went viral for speaking in a patois dialect, took to Instagram on Wednesday following his parents confirmation that they had contracted COVID-19 AKA the novel coronavirus. Chet addressed the situation in a short video, ditching his usual patois for his regular speaking voice. “What’s up, everyone,” he began. “Yeah, it’s true. My parents got coronavirus. Crazy. They’re both down in Australia right now, ’cause my dad was shooting a movie down there.”

Despite the mass hysteria surrounding the viral outbreak, Chet ensures everyone that we shouldn’t be too worried about the beloved Hollywood treasures he calls Mom and Dad. “I just got off the phone with them,” he continues. “They both are fine, they’re not even that sick. They’re not worried about it, they’re not trippin’, but they’re going through the necessary health precautions, obviously.”

“I don’t think it’s anything to be too worried about,” he insists. “I appreciate everyone’s concern and the well wishes, but I think it’s all gonna be alright. But I appreciate it. Everybody stay safe out there. Much love.” On Tuesday night,  the devastating news broke that Tom and Rita were headed into quarantine after Tom, whose upcoming film Greyhound‘s release has been pushed from May 8th to June 12th due to the coronavirus epidemic, shared a message on Instagram, accompanied by a photo of a surgical glove in a trash can. “Hello, folks,” he wrote. “Rita and I are down here in Australia. We felt a bit tired, like we had colds, and some body aches. Rita had some chills that came and went. Slight fevers too. To play things right, as is needed in the world right now, we were tested for the Coronavirus, and were found to be positive.”

“Well, now. What to do next?” he continued. “The Medical Officials have protocols that must be followed. We Hanks’ will be tested, observed, and isolated for as long as public health and safety requires. Not much more to it than a one-day-at-a-time approach, no? We’ll keep the world posted and updated. Take care of yourselves! Hanx!”  We wish Tom and Rita a full and fast recovery. Stay safe everyone!

Snoop Dogg‘s Instagram page has become a haven for glorious throwback pictures, be it Thursday or otherwise — and many of them center around his formative days on Death Row records. And as one of 2Pac‘s closest friends and collaborators, the Doggfather has become one of the game’s most ble sources for stories and pictures of the late legendary rapper.

Yesterday, Snoop shared a clip from an old-school interview from the late nineties, during which he shared the biggest lesson he learned from Pac. Today, he’s coming through with a genuine blast from the past. Captioning his latest picture “Young Pac,” the image captures exactly that: a youthful Shakur, likely in his teenage years, standing with a boom-box in hand. The picture is all but soaked in nostalgia, having likely been take in the late eighties. 

As is so often the case with 2Pac Shakur memorabilia, there’s a strong bittersweet sentiment attached to it. When he was murdered in a drive-by shooting, Pac was only twenty-five. He had already amassed four studio albums to his name, a catalog that many count among hip-hop’s best — playing what if feels futile at this point, but it’s hard not to wonder what the extent of Pac’s influence might have been had he lived to evolve as both an artist and a man.

Either way, we’ll always have the music he left behind. Respect to Snoop Dogg for continuing to keep the legacy alive. Check out young Pac below, and hit the comments with your favorite Shakur moments. 

Fetty Wap is under fire from Lezhae Zeona, the mother of two of his children. By now, the public is aware that Fetty Wap reportedly has six baby mamas and possibly seven kids. The rapper and Lezhae welcomed their daughter in 2015 and then reconciled and gave birth to a son in 2018. In a recent interview with Supa Cindy for 99 Jamz radio station, Lezhae spoke about her relationship with her ex as if they were on good terms and he was willing to help her out with her rap career.

However, it seems as if things have taken a turn. On Wednesday (March 11), Lezhae took to social media to air out her grievances with her “clown” baby daddy. “Don’t have children with f*ckin failures,” she wrote on her Instagram Story. “Bitcchhh .. I almost told y’all something whew let me get off this damn app.” It’s unknown what exactly she was going to say, but she went on to pen a lengthy message about Fetty and his pitfalls, anyway.

“Ya wanna know something ? God genuinely makes no mistakes,” she continued. “Call me whatever you wanna call me for going back and having a second child with this clown but guess what? I needed my son ! I swear, I was never forced into strength the way I was while I was pregnant with him! Before my pregnancy with my son, I was maddddllyyyy in love with my BD. He would do any and everything to me, disrespect tf outta me in public and in private and I never got enough.”

Lezhae said no matter what, she always allowed Fetty Wap to come back into her life without question. “But when I got pregnant with my son, this n*gga violated the f*ck outta me and it was undeniable that I couldn’t f*ckin do it with him anymore ! It was undeniable that I had to let tf go and move forward ! I needed exactly that and that was Gods form of delivery and I accept completely.” 

She added that she didn’t think there would be a day where she could live without Fetty, but it was her son that made it possible. In another Instagram Story slide, Lezhae Zeona also stated that every woman has been played at one point in their lives so if someone wants to judge her, they need to look at their mothers, aunts, and sisters as well. Check out a few of her posts below.

We recognize that the coronavirus is serious, but in order to maintain a certain level of sanity, people are having fun making memes about the virus. Over the last few months, Future has been the star of the “Toxic Ex-Boyfriend” memes that went viral. They became popular around the holiday season as a way for people to poke fun at those pesky exes who use the cheerful time of the year as a way to weasel back into their former lover’s lives. Now, it’s the coronavirus that has people checking in, and Joe Budden has cast himself as the new star of the funny “Toxic Ex” meme.

Budden shared a photo of himself in his pool while checking his phone. In the caption he wrote, “Just checking to make sure you good, it’s getting crazy out there… the NBA suspended all its games, the same way i should have when i was with you.. be safe, i love you.” His followers got a kick out of the caption, and model “SuperStar6ix” laughed and called it “super toxic.”

He replied, “@superstar6ix ORRRRR accountable ??.” She hit him back with, “@joebudden this is literally emotionally provoking bait ? pretty much toxic ?.” Check out Joe Budden as the new coronavirus “Toxic Ex-Boyfriend” below. Apparently a few people have stolen the caption and actually texted it to their exes. 

The increasing panic over the coronavirus has been on a drastic incline for weeks. People have taken precautions against contracting or spreading the disease, but after Wednesday's (March 11) announcements, more are beginning to take the pandemic seriously. Tom Hanks revealed on Instagram that he and his wife Rita Wilson tested positive for coronavirus in Australia while they were down there working on a film. The NBA issued a statement that all games would be suspended after a Utah Jazz player tested positive, as well.

President Donald Trump even gave a short speech from the White House saying travel from Europe, aside from the United Kingdom, will be halted for 30 days beginning on Friday (March 13). The world is paying attention, but Charlamagne Tha God took to social media to criticize people who waited for the rich and famous to be affected before realizing the seriousness of the pandemic.

Charlamagne wrote on Twitter, "115,000 Coronavirus cases worldwide. 4,200 people killed and some Americans didn't think sh*t was real until Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, and the NBA were hit with it. Start using your own brain and stop waiting until celebrities are impacted to take things serious." He took a screenshot of his message and posted it on Instagram with the added caption, "Let’s also not forget about the celebrity running the country right now. Moral of the story is America’s obsession with celebrity is going to be this country’s downfall...."

The Breakfast Club host also took a moment to throw jabs at Trump. "I'm watching the celebrity in chief Donald Trump trying hard not to sneeze or cough during this 'Presidential Address To The Nation,'" he wrote. "I saw shortness of breath, sniffling, trying not to sneeze, cough, or fart. I think 45 needs to be quarantined." Check out Charlamagne Tha God give his take on celebrity culture and the coronavirus below.

Offset has a few talents but Cardi B is questioning his skills in the kitchen, atleast when it comes to his tuna salad recipe. Set hit the 'Gram where he revealed just how he whips up his tune salad -- country style. "That's tuna right there. You put that sugar on that thang. Ouuu. Throw that mayo in there. Whip it up. Whip that thang up. You gon' have that sweet tuna. That shit gon' be hittin'," he said as he declared this the "Best Tuna Ever."

Sweet tuna salad surely isn't unheard of but apparently, it's not as common anywhere else as it is in the South. Cardi B hit the 'Gram where she screen recorded Offset's IG Story with his tuna recipe and asked her followers whether there's anyone else who does this. "who eat they tuna like this ? Besides @offsetyrn?In sorry I eat mines with onion,mayo , vinegar and pepper ...This tho," she wrote on Instagram.

Her followers quickly chimed in on Offset's sugary tuna recipe. Aside from Internet celebrity Chris Crocker who said that his grandmother eats her tuna salad the same way, everyone unanimously agreed that this was a completely foreign approach to Tune salad. One commenter even joked that Offset is pregnant.

Peep a few of the hilarious responses below. 

Meek Mill‘s soon-to-be baby mama, Milan Harris, gave everyone a glimpse of her super pregnant self when she shared some shots of herself posing in a bright blue bikini while on vacation in Jamaica. It looks like the fashion designer, who founded the Milano di Rouge brand, could be due pretty soon, as her growing baby bump is getting bigger and bigger. She shared the gorgeous shots of herself rocking the turquoise suit along with a matching cover-up on Instagram, adding an inspiring caption about becoming your best self.

“Life long leaders are life long learners,” she wrote. “Still Learning how to be a better woman, learning how to love, learning how to run my business, learning to be a better leader, learning to be a better public speaker, learning how to do my makeup and other girly things, learning to have patience (might be impossible tho), learning how to be a better person, sister, daughter, friend & the best mother possible.” She also tagged Womanaire, a club that aims to “help women gain confidence through inspiration, motivation & conversation.”

Milan later shared another photo of herself on her Jamaican getaway, but this time in a long, floral dress. “Beautiful things happen when you distance yourself from negativity,” she wrote in the caption, before asking her followers an important question about when the big day comes. “Did any of my followers have a natural birth at a birthing center or at home?” she asked “I watched the documentary ‘The Business of Being Born’ and it got me reconsidering hospital.”

Milan announced her pregnancy back in December at one of her fashion shows, though she and Meek didn’t confirm that he was the father until much later. The two of them seem very happy in their relationship, and we can’t wait until their little bundle of joy arrives!

It looks like Trippie Redd was really missing his old friend, Juice WRLD, this week, as he posted a photo of the two of them on Instagram that had fans getting emotional in the comments. On Tuesday, Trippie shared the shot of him and his late buddy standing side-by-side. While the photo doesn’t show either of their faces, it’s immediately obvious who is featured in the shot just from the back of each of their heads. Trippie opted not to include a caption, letting the picture simply speak for itself.

Fans flooded the comments to pay their respects, many writing “RIP” and expressing how much they also miss Juice. It was no secret that Trippie, along with the hip-hop community as a whole, was deeply affected by Juice’s tragic passing. After the 21-year-old died from a drug-induced seizure back in December, Trippie declared that he was going to give up drugs for good. “We ain’t doin’ it no more,” he said on Instagram Live. “Period. If it ain’t weed, we ain’t doin’ it no more.” He went on to say that he would still rap about drugs, but that that was it. “I ain’t sippin’ no lean, I ain’t poppin’ no pills but Imma still talk about it in music,” he said. “Maybe.”

The same day that Juice passed, Trippie also posted an old screenshot of the two of them Facetiming each other. “I kinda hate life tbh I’m so sick and tired of this shit honestly…..” he wrote in the caption. While Juice WRLD may be gone forever, he lives on in his music. YNW Melly just announced that the remix of his song, “Suicidal,” will be dropping Friday, and will feature a posthumous verse from Juice.

Dabbing Granny has caught the attention of the 6ixGod. It was just an ordinary Wednesday morning when Drake requested to join the viral sensation Dabbing Granny on Instagram Live and what ensued was some wholesome content to get you through your hump day. "Yeah, it's really me," Drake said as he entered the chat. "It really is. Then I couldn't see but then as soon as you smiled, I was like, 'Oh my God. That is him'," she replied.  "Your smile lights up the room. Your mom must've told you that."

"Well, thank you. Yeah, my mom always told me to smile in pictures, and I was always self-conscious about it back the day," Drake added. "But now it's too many great things going on, I have to smile once in a while." After nonchalantly responding to his fame with a simple, "it is what it is," he revealed that he's currently in album mode.

"You know it's so funny, you're waking up and I'm going to sleep," he explained. "I just left the studio, I'm working on a new album." Dabbing Granny did what anybody would do and asked when this project would be released. "When it's done, we'll see. Hopefully soon, right?"

Dabbing Granny first came to fame a few years back and became a spokesperson of sorts for cannabis after uploading a video of her hitting a massive dab onto Facebook. Since then. she's grown her Instagram following to 1.3M and counting.

Summer Walker is currently limiting her social media feeds to include solely temporary posts, deleting all of her permanent uploads after catching major heat for sharing a coronavirus-related video that was deemed unfactual. The rising R&B star is constantly being scrutinized in the media, recently being picked apart for allegedly getting her nose touched up. At this point, you would actively need to stop checking entertainment news if you didn’t want to hear about Summer so, for her to believe that somebody as relevant as Shaquille O’Neal wouldn’t know who she is is pretty humourous.

Taking to her Instagram stories, Summer Walker revelled in the fact that Shaq not only knows who she is, but that he also reached out to her.

“Wow Shaq hit me lol,” wrote the singer. “Didn’t even know he knew I existed.”

The extent of their conversation was not detailed, but we can only imagine that music played a part in their talk. Summer also failed to divulge where they spoke. Was it over the phone? Through direct messages? Carrier pigeon? Inquiring minds want to know!

The Over It artist has alleged that she will not be releasing any new music after this year, claiming that her retirement is incoming. Do you think she’ll be able to snag that coveted Shaq feature before she goes away forever?
