Inside this edition Ciara dishes about her upcoming album, which she says is one of her best works ever. Here's an excerpt from the interview:

“I’m super excited and my vision for this project is to inject love into the world with dance,” she explains. This is not like any other album, as most of the work in studio was done while Ciara was eight months pregnant with her second child, daughter Sienna, the result of her marriage to NFL quarterback Russell Wilson. “There was something really special about that. Being a mother of two made me feel even more confident, inspired, and fearless,” she shares, when asked if motherhood reshaped her as an artist."

UPDATE: Jussie Smolett Victim of a Hate Crime


UPDATE: More details have emerged since we first broke this story. The updates have been included and highlighted below.

Actor and Empire star Jussie Smolett was a victim of a hate crime early this morning. The attack occurred around 2AM in Chicago, where Jussie resides while filming the hit FOX show. Preceding the attack, Jussie received hate mail, which can be seen below. Jussie had stopped at a Subway in the wee hours of the morning where he was confronted by two men upon exiting. One yelled, "Aren't you that f***ot 'Empire' n*****?" They proceeded to beat Jussie and poor bleach on him. He sustained a fractured rib as a result of the attack. 

Two men wearing ski masks placed a noose around Jussie neck following the attack. The actor is currently hospitalized and receiving treatment for his injuries. The investigation is still developing. 


We here at HG Reacts wish Jussie a full and speedy recovery and hope CPD finds and charges the men with a hate crime.

TI Posts Rules for the Super Bowl, and the Internet is NOT Having It


Rapper TI took to Instagram to school ATL Super Bowl attendees on the rules for visiting Atlanta and he was dragged by the internet. This post comes after TI stated that he will be boycotting this year's Super Bowl. He is quoted saying:
“I think there is a violation of constitutional rights being implemented to minority players who choose to have a peaceful, silent protest,”
Many feel that if he's not even going, why bother posting these 'rules'.

Read the rules here below as well as watch the video which he explains his decision for the boycott.




Here's what one ATLien had to say in response.
1. There is a 50/50 chance that the person taking your money in a random parking lot, actually works for the person that owns the parking lot. Therefore, you have to charge it to the game if your rental car is gone when you get back. Don't even trust the nice printed signs, folks know how to go over to the damn kinkos.
2. Don't walk up to random black folks trying to buy drugs. That is offensive and you probably need your a** kicked in for that sh**.
3. If beautiful black women ignore your goofy, overweight a** in your town, guess what? We don't want you here. Take that 3 inches home to your wife. Because you will get robbed.
4. Leave that MAGA sh** at home. You will get your a** beat here.
5. See #4, seriously the entire place will team up on you if get too trashed and say some racist sh**.
6. Take an uber because if you leave your car in downtown overnight.... well..... that's where the crackheads be after dark.
7. Dancers are amazing and talented. Respect them!!!!
8. Do not play stupid games with the homeless. Offer to buy them a fu**ing meal. Fu**, you just spent $5k to fly over here from a nowhere state.
9. The varsity is vile. No further comment.
10. The westside is growing, but people will be pissed at you if come to their new restaurants being loud and obnoxious. Calm yourselves.
11. When you walk in the strip club you are playing for a service. Do not go in there to be gross and not pay just so you can tell Bobby at work about all the huge black a**es you saw.... You will get cussed out. Be a fu**ing gentleman.

Tell us what you think in the comments below. Do you feel TI's boycott is genuine? Does he have any right to post these rules after he already said he's boycotting the NFL? Do these responses from a resident ATLien hold true?

Tisha Campbell Granted Restraining Order on Soon-to-Be Ex-Husband


Tisha Campbell has won a temporary restraining order against Duane Martin, her soon-to-be ex. The two are currently in the midst of a divorce. Tisha states the abuse began shortly after their wedding in 1996 and occurred as recently as December 2018. The documents were filed in January 2019.

Tisha is now speaking out.
"I can no longer live in fear of retaliation ... the need [to] press criminal charges for his acts overshadows the embarrassment of making his crimes against me public through this report."

We wish Tisha the best of luck and nothing but strength with this situation.

Keri Hilson Claims No One Pushed Her Out of the Industry


Singer and songwriter Keri Hilson took to twitter to let us know that she graciously left the music industry, at the height of her career she adds, on her own to handle some personal issues. The tweet is in response to someone, seemingly a fan wondering what a Keri Hilson song in 2019 would sound like and that the public pushed her out of the industry too soon.

While Ms. Hilson says she left the industry on her own, many would argue otherwise. In 2009, Keri released a remix to her single "Turning Me On" which she comes for Beyoncé stating:
I ain't tryin to start no mess
There's just somethin on my chest that I need to get off
Cause you turnin me off
Your vision cloudy if you think that you the best
You can dance she can sing but she need to move it to the left... (don't do it em)
She need to go have some babies
She needs to sit down, she fake
Them other chicks ain't even worth my time to talk about
Listen to the snippet here:

Also, in 2011, Juicy magazine asked Keri to hold a copy of their magazine with Beyoncé and Jay Z on the cover. Once she saw the couple on the mag, she declined. Watch the clip below.

Now everyone knows the Beyhive does NOT play when it comes to their fav. Looks like Keri's own actions got her cancelled by the people.

Let us know in the comments below what you think ended Keri's career.
