I don't have nothing to say about that. vs I don't have anything to say about that.

Both of these phrases are commonly used, but the second one, 'I don't have anything to say about that.', is the correct and more natural construction. The other phrase, 'I don't have nothing to say about that.', contains a double negative ('don't have nothing'), which is considered non-standard in English.

I don't have nothing to say about that.

This phrase is not correct in standard English usage due to the double negative 'don't have nothing.'

Avoid using double negatives in English. Instead, use a single negative with 'anything.'
