Hailey Bieber shared an emotional message on Friday, in which she was very open about her struggles with cyberbullying and her sensitivity to receiving hate on the Internet. The model begins the post, which includes a beautiful scenery photo of the bright blue ocean, by expressing how much she loves to connect with others.

“I would say my most favorite part of existing is human connection. I absolutely love connecting with other people, I love finding common interests between me and others, hearing people’s story, I love laughing with others, and I love crying with others. I feel so very very deeply. My heart explodes with happiness when my friends and family are happy and my heart feels crushed when they are hurting and sad,” Hailey wrote. She then explains why she decided to make this post, elaborating with, “The reason I say all of this is: because I love to connect, I do my best to expose my heart which means I love freely and I empathize deeply, and because of that I also hurt very easily when I feel like people don’t see my heart and see me for who I am and the reason I’m even sharing this, is because Instagram, Twitter etc is SUCH a breeding ground for cruelty towards each other, and because people don’t take the time to connect with each other on an honest level before they resort to hatred, it starts to damage what could be really beautiful human interaction and connection.” It’s definitely a lot to take in, but her main point seems to be that she is disheartened by how easily people on the Internet can tear others down instead of lifting them up, even calling social media platforms like Instagram and Twitter “a breeding ground for cruelty towards each other.”

Hailey then reminds everyone that despite her position as a celebrity and wife of a pop star, words still hurt. “I could sit here all day and say the hate doesn’t bug me, that the words that are said don’t affect me. But NEWS FLASH: it hurts to be torn apart on the internet!!! It hurts to be compared to other human beings every single day, it hurts for people to jump to conclusions and make assumptions. It hurts to be called names, and to feel like you don’t measure up to a certain standard.. the list goes on and on. I share this only because it weighs often on my heart and because it’s important to be honest about how these things affect us mentally and emotionally. Hopefully it speaks to someone struggling with the same.” While she doesn’t refer to any specific comments, Hailey could be referring to possible responses to Justin Bieber’s new song, “Yummy,” which her hubby dropped over the weekend, the suggestive lyrics likely about her. Hailey has also been compared time and time again to Justin’s ex, Selena Gomez. She concludes her statement by wishing everyone a happy new year, and asking everyone to vow to connect more in 2020.

Yesterday marked the 28th birthday of beloved EDM producer DJ Carnage. The producer, who’s made a name for himself in both hip-hop and electronic spaces, shared a glimpse of his festivities on Instagram which included strippers and loud music. However, the timeline also was flooded with birthday tributes from Carnage’s celebrity friends.

Now, Drake and Carnage have a pretty hilarious friendship with one another. Although we haven’t heard much music from them yet, they’re constantly trolling each other in their respective Instagram comments. Carnage flamed Drake for “fake ab surgery,” which undoubtedly sparked a narrative on social media surrounding Drake’s health regiment, and compared the Canadian rapper’s style to DJ Khaled’s. For Carnage’s birthday, Drake gave him a bit of his own medicine.

“Happy birthday to my actual brother @carnage I am sorry I don’t claim you more but you know what mom tells us about how important my image is and what not…wishing you more life and more paid frat party hostings for 2020.”

Drake shared a photo of himself and Future The Prince on Instagram, which would seem conceited upon first glance, but it was only the set up for a bigger punchline. “swipe right to see who I’m talking about @carnage,” Drake concluded his statement. After swiping, you’ll find an incredibly blurry photo of Carnage seated in the background of the first photo. 

Peep the post below. 

French Montana played a pretty strong hand by exposing an edited photo of 50 Cent and Eminem kissing but when it comes down to the winner of most troll battles, Fif generally has people beat from the get-go. If it’s true that French Montana’s Bugatti is a decade-old and has a CD player on the inside, the Coke Boys rapper may be fighting a losing battle. Fiddy has already posted some receipts online that attempt to prove Montana is on a sixty-month loan of the vehicle. The star has been striking back but Fif just keeps on bringing up the CD issue, this time posting a stock photo of some disks and extending a message to his new rival.

“Somebody send this to wrench,” joked the executive producer of Power on a photo of re-usable CD-Rs that Montana can use to make car playlists. “Damn he gonna need the old apple to burn the new music though.”

The battle between French Montana and 50 Cent has been heating up for approximately one week. Today, Montana found himself wrapped up in some fresh allegations about fake streams for his single “Writing On The Wall.” Apparently, people have been noticing their Spotify accounts getting hacked into, playing the record without the user’s knowledge. French Montana and his label have yet to comment on those claims.

The hip-hop community is shocked after the death of Lexii Alijai, a rising rapper out of Minnesota. The star reportedly passed away on New Year’s Day, affecting her peers greatly and leading many to share their grieving processes online. Kehlani has been taking this hard, featuring the rapper on several of her songs and helping her breakout as an artist. She has been dedicating the last couple of days to honor the life of Lexii and today, she shared information on how to attend her Celebration of Life ceremony, posting all the details on social media.

Fans of Lexii Alijai are invited to celebrate the late 21-year-old’s life with her family and friends in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Taking place tonight and this weekend, there will be several chances to say goodbye to the rapper. A statement was shared by her management.

“Lexii was an extraordinary talent who left an incredible mark on the music industry in just a short period of time. She was a true lyricist and an exceptional storyteller with an authentic sound full of energy and curiosity. She had a deep love and devotion to music but more than anything, was a generous and kind soul, with an infectious spirit. Lexii was inspired by J. Cole and the time she spent with the many Dreamvile artists and was enthusiastic about the future and eager to see the world. Her debut album ‘Come Back Soon’ was set to release this year. 

The entire 1AM family is heartbroken and deeply saddened by her passing. Our deepest condolences to her friends, fans and everyone who was touched by her. Her family appreciates privacy during this difficult time.”

Rest in peace, Lexii. All of us at HNHH are sending love and light to her loved ones.

The way Bhad Bhabie is moving out here, you would have a hard time believing she’s still just sixteen-years-old. However, it isn’t too difficult to figure out her age since, you know, she’s kind of a high-profile celebrity. It’s common knowledge that Bhad Bhabie, AKA Danielle Bregoli, AKA the Cash Me Ousside girl, is underage. A quick search on Wikipedia would resolve any doubts you have about that. Still though, boxer Adrien Broner decided to get some clown paint on his face, messaging the 16-year-old and essentially shooting his shot. In an exclusive response to the drama The Shade Room, AB is claiming the whole thing was just an honest mistake.

“Nobody want to date a kid but I fault Instagram for not having people’s age on they profile,” reportedly said Broner in response to the message he sent Bhad Bhabie. “I thought she was grown the way she out here moving…”

While it’s commendable that Adrien Broner is owning up to his own confusion, the fact that he didn’t check for her age is pretty problematic. Bhad Bhabie has since deleted her post calling him out but the damage has already been done. At least he’s owning up to it. What do you make of this situation?

Megan Thee Stallion released her Tina Snow EP in 2018 that came equipped with an alter ego of the same name. Since the introductory, Megan has grown to become an established female rapper in the game and secured a few #1 titles and hot features. However, she hasn’t forgotten where she came from since dawning a Tina Snow look for her fans on Instagram.

One of the “Cash Shit” rapper’s latest posts to her feed sees her dressed up in a hot girl number with fish net tights, silver body suit and white fur along her shoulders. “Tina Snow ❄️,” she wrote. 

“Tina Snow is my alter ego and she’s the pimp and the mack,” Megan previously stated of her alter ego. “Tony Snow was one of Pimp C’s many aliases, and Pimp C is my favorite rapper. He just makes me feel so cool and so laid back. I get into my act when I listen to Pimp C so I turn myself into Tina Snow, his opposite. When people listen to me I want them to feel cool as hell. I want them to get in their act when they’re listening to Tina Snow.”
