Watch Plies Says Women With Plastic Surgery Only Attracts Ugly Men

Maybe Plies is still hot over Kamala losing the election.

Nobody really knows what prompted the Florida rapper to come for the hottest female rappers in the game, but no one’s neck was left unchecked. According to court documents obtained by TMZ, Plies has filed copyright infringement lawsuits today (November 6) against Megan, Glo and Cardi for their unauthorized use of his 2008 “Me & My Goons” track. Big Draco also felt the wrath too, for his unauthorized use of the same track on his Soulja Boy anthem “Pretty Boy Swag”.

Megan and GloRilla’s collaboration on “Wanna Be” did numbers this year, sparking a summertime remix with Cardi B, but now Plies names all of the above in his lawsuit. Soulja’s use of the song dates back to 2010, but that didn’t make him exempt from the “Bust It Baby” rapper’s legal wrath.

Plies’lawsuit names Meg’s Hot Girl Productions, Soulja’s former imprint Collipark Productions as well as Universal Music Group, Collective Music Group and Interscope as defendants.

TheSource.com will update this story as more details develop.

At the time of writing, none of the individuals on the receiving end of the lawsuit have publicly addressed it. They aren’t the only people Plies has gone after as of late, however. He also called out the American people today in response to the 2024 Presidential Election results. He made it clear that he wasn’t at all pleased and expressed sympathy for those in need of support following Kamala Harris’ loss.

“If I could hug each and every one of y’all who needed a hug, and let you put your head on my shoulder and let you get off what you needed to get off, God knows I would,” he said in a video posted on Instagram. “I wish I had something big enough so that I could invite whoever wanted to come.. just to check on each other and make sure each other was good and everybody was holding up okay.” What do you think of Plies suing Megan Thee Stallion, GloRilla, Soulja Boy, and Cardi B?

Kamala Harris Concedes The Election To Donald Trump

Trump declared victory in the election around 2:30 AM, EST on Wednesday morning, after dominating across the board electorally. The wins for Republicans didn’t stop there either with the Associated Press reporting that Republicans have won control of the U.S. Senate as well. The House of Representatives, however, still appears to be up for grabs.

GloRilla Jokes About Kamala Harris’ Loss

GloRilla’s post comes as Kamala Harris conceded to Donald Trump in a speech from Howard University in Washington, D.C. “The outcome of this election was not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for, but hear me when I say the light of America’s promise will always burn bright as long as we never give up and as long as we keep fighting,” she told her crowd of supporters.

Tyler, The Creator Does Something He’s Never Done Before On The Charts Thanks To “Chromakopia”

November 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In just a matter of weeks, Tyler, The Creator was able to create immense hype for a new album. It was a pretty sudden and stunning move by the eclectic California multi-talent, but his fans were ready. However, for a new album from one of the biggest hip-hop acts of this generation, CHROMAKOPIA didn’t have a typical release date. T has been preaching that musicians need to go back to dropping new material at the top of the week to allow the listeners to really digest what they are hearing. It was a bold move that wound up working in his favor anyway, as his seventh studio LP would go on to top the Billboard Hot 200.

It moved an astounding 297,500 copies in its first week on the market with a whopping 142,000 coming from pure sales. It’s also his third consecutive time doing this, with 2019’s IGOR, and 2021’s CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST being those other titles. So yes, that isn’t too big of news. However, what is huge is the chart performance of CHROMAKOPIA in terms of its songs. According to Uproxx, Tyler has just done something he’s never accomplished before.

Tyler, The Creator Is Also Projected To Be Atop The Hot 200 Again

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Billboard Charts (@billboardcharts)

With the new Hot 100 chart now here, the veteran has landed two tracks within the top 10. “St. Chroma” with Daniel Caesar is the higher of the two, sliding in at seven. “Noid,” one of the lead-off cuts, sneaks in at the tenth spot. But the rest of the album did extremely well too. The remainder of the tracklist would find their way into the mix, with the next highest, “Sticky,” coming in at 14. The lowest of them, “I Hope Your Find Your Way Home,” respectably dropped into the 65th spot.

What are your thoughts on Tyler, The Creator nabbing his first top 10 placement within the Hot 100 chart this week? Do you think more will crack into the upper echelon? Will the two current songs move up at all? What songs are your favorite from CHROMAKOPIA? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Tyler, The Creator. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Prince’s Sister Tyka Nelson Passes Away At 64

November 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The family of Prince has lost another musical icon recently, as his only full sibling, Tyka Nelson has passed away. A sister, mother, songwriter, and singer, she was 64 years young with no further details available at this time. This report comes via The Minnesota Star Tribune and Billboard. Tyka’s son, President Nelson broke the news to the former.

According to the outlets, she was getting ready to perform one last time in her hometown of Minneapolis back in June. She was going to retire in grand fashion at the Dakota, a major jazz and blues club in the area. However, her health was deteriorating, and she was forced to cancel the send-off performance. Tyka Nelson had mentioned to The Minnesota Star Tribune that age was also becoming more of a factor as well.

Tyka Nelson Wanted To “Keep Prince’s Legacy Alive”

“I’m getting older. I really wasn’t a singer. I’m a writer. I just happen to be able to sing. I enjoy singing.” Despite what she might have said, she was a true talent. She put out four albums in between 1988 and 2011. Her peers also spoke extremely high of her, including Paul Peterson, a fellow local artist who performed with Tyka in some her last public performances in 2018. “She had a soulful and sweet voice. She was playful and cute, interested in doing things for herself and for keeping Prince’s legacy alive.” Tyka was also in the process of writing a memoir, but time will tell if that gets finished at all. Rest in peace Mrs. Nelson, the music world and the HNHH team will miss you dearly.

[WATCH] King Combs Announces He’s Taking Over Diddy’s Instagram Page

November 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Even with the possibility of spending the rest of his life behind bars, disgraced music fashion and liquor mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs still has his sons riding for him. In what looks like the most recent post on Diddy’s IG post since the entire Combs family wished Diddy a happy 55th birthday, his son Christian has now taken control of his dad’s social media page and letting the people know that even a federal indictment won’t keep the Bad Boy name silent.

Christian, Diddy’s third born who adopted the title “king”, took to Diddy’s Instagram page to let his almost 20 million followers know that he will know be manning the ship on Diddy’s most visible social media page. Check out King Combs’ announcement HERE

There was a lot of backlash from the public for King’s social media post, which is simply captioned, “Tune in!” There were some critics, however, that saluted Christian for standing by his father amid the heinous allegations.

Nevertheless, there were scores of commenters who weren’t feeling ANYTHING coming from Diddy’s page, even if it wasn’t coming from Diddy himself.

Future Brings Tally To Five With Music Video For “Brazzier”

November 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s hard to deny just how impactful and important Future is to the modern-day hip-hop scene. He’s without a doubt one of the most influential of his time, as one of the most prolific. The grind never stops for the Atlanta native who continues to churn out record after record. He’s dropped multiple projects for most of his career, and a lot of them still manage to top the charts. 2024 is no exception, as Pluto worked alongside his partner in crime Metro Boomin for WE DON’T TRUST YOU and WE STILL DON’T TRUST YOU. Both debuted at number one on the Hot 200 despite just being a few weeks apart. However, he managed to pull off a hat trick with MIXTAPE PLUTO. The September solo release sold 129,000 units and because of that, he became the first rapper to have three number ones in a six-month span.

Despite there being some reservations about it, Future’s hardcore fans loved it, and they certainly showed out for him. To repay them, he’s been dropping off some bonus content over the last couple of months. One of which was the highly desired “SOUTH OF FRANCE” remix with Travis Scott. The collab was thought to be a lock for the tracklist, but Future decided to go against features for the initial release. He’s also been dropping off some visuals for the tape, with the number now up to five. That fifth video from Future is for “BRAZZIER,” one of the “deeper” cuts. It’s nothing too special visually speaking as he’s seen flexing with his homeboys during the nighttime. Check it out below.
