Jacquees Bonds Out of Georgia Jail for Just $40 Following Arrest, Makes it to Arizona for Performance

R&B star Jacquees has had quite an eventful weekend….and the weekend isn’t even over yet. In less than 72 hours, the artist has gotten in some sort of physical altercation, been arrested, taken to jail, released from jail, and still made a cross-country flight for a performance.

The 29-year-old artist, born Rodriquez Jacquees Broadnax, was arrested in Gwinnett County, Georgia on Friday night. According to records, he was charged with a misdemeanor charge of simple battery plus a misdemeanor of willful obstruction of law enforcement officers. He was booked into the jail at 1:26 AM and posted bond just a few hours later at 8:46 AM. His bond amount was set at $3,700, which meant that he was able to put down just $40 to secure his release.

His mugshot, which began trending on Twitter on Saturday, shows the artist with a somewhat swollen and bruised face, likely indicating a fight of some sort took place. (There are no reports that he received medical care while he was detained.) Following his release, he posted several photos which show that the swelling appears to have significantly subsided.

He also quickly hopped on a plane to Phoenix, Arizona for his performance and after-party. The rest of his Instagram story from the rest of the weekend highlights clips of his shows as well as promoting his upcoming Sincerely For You international tour which will kick off in Amsterdam on July 15.

Hopefully he finds time to rest this week.

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker Host Drum Themed Gender Reveal

Less than a week after announcing that they were expecting a baby together, husband and wife Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian shared a short clip of their gender reveal on Instagram….and they’re having a boy!

In the clip, Kardashian is sitting on the Blink 182 drummer’s lap as they engage with the crowd a bit before Travis launches into a short drum solo. As he dramatically hits a cymbal, blue confetti rains down from the sky announcing the couple’s baby’s gender.

Barker’s children include Landon, 19, and Alabama, 17, whom he had with his ex-wife Shanna Moakler. The couple was married in 2022 in three ceremonies.

Joe Budden Refuses To Take A Side On Beef Between Jim Jones And Pusha T

by

Pusha T and Jim Jones are currently beefing. Pusha fired the first shots with some deep cuts about Jones in a song that debuted at Pharrell’s Louis Vuitton show in Paris. At first, Jones was content to dismiss the diss as “cute”. However, he responded a few days later, dropping a track of his own. In his, the Dipset member compared Pusha and No Malice to slaves.

Furthermore, he masterfully suggested that Pusha T didn’t know what a rap beef is. “The only beef you know n***a, is the Arby’s or the Big Mac,” Jones proclaimed. Now Joe Budden has given his thoughts on the feud. It’s to be expected, as Budden likes to keep his finger on the pulse of the rap scene.

Budden Opts To Stay Neutral

“Now let me be objective and do my job the right way,” he said. “I’m torn here like Latoya Luckett. Boy, am I torn. On one hand I know to leave Push it to you alone. Retired me active me if you were gonna if I were ever gonna—I would get at that n***a actually—but boy would I be respectful of my approach,” he continued. “I’d have to lead with the jab, set them up have had a lot of thought would go into it it wouldn’t be the body it wouldn’t be as reckless at because Pusha T is a methodical man outside of rapping he is a methodical thinking, planning man.”

Budden went on to explain that he knows that Jones respects Pusha T’s game. However, he also acknowledged that Jones needs to step carefully. This is because Pusha is a “pain and a headache” to rap against. Despite this, Budden is playing the Switzerland card and staying neutral. However, while he doesn’t have a dog in the fight, he did express his hopes that the beef stays about music and doesn’t become personal or overly disrespectful.

Deion Sanders Jokes With His Kids In Post-Surgery Video

by

Deion Sanders’ rebuild of the Colorado Buffaloes football team had to be put on hold for a few days so that the NFL legend could get surgery. Sanders has been dealing with circulation issues in his left foot for a number of years. After having two toes amputated in 2021, surgeons could worry that the persisting problem could cost him the whole foot.

However, it wasn’t his foot that prompted emergency surgery on June 22. Instead, as first reported by Pat McAfee, Sanders had been admitted to the hospital to remove a clot in his groin. The severity of the clot was not made public. However, it appeared bad enough that it required an unscheduled surgery to correct.

Sanders In Good Spirits Post-Surgery

However, to the relief of many, it appears that surgery went well. Deion Sanders Jr. posted a video to his father’s Instagram account showing Coach Prime face-timing with his family. The video was captioned “There’s something wrong with @shilosanders … family conversation @shedeursanders @deionsandersjr @shilosanders @deiondrasanders #CoachPrime (posted by @deionsandersjr)”. Sanders is expected to leave hospital in the coming days. Given his work ethic, we could be back on the turf at Folsom Field this week.

In the video, Sanders, lying in a hospital bed, is face timing his children. After confirming that he had two clots in his left leg removed, and another in his right leg yet to be removed, he began joking around his children. “I told ’em – Shilo ain’t no good, Shilo ain’t no good.” Shilo, who plays defensive back and recently transferred to play under his dad at Colorado, couldn’t help but joke around. “I told ’em you were getting a BBL,” Shilo quipped. While it seems that Coach Prime is in the clear for the moment, we wish him a speedy recovery regardless. Follow all the latest sports news here at HotNewHipHop.

Ginuwine Discusses His Strained Relationship With Aaliyah

by

During his recent interview with Drink Champs, Ginuwine discussed his difficult relationship with the late Aaliyah. He revealed that the “beef” between them revolved mostly around the singer’s family, claiming that he sadly never got the opportunity to set things straight with her before she died.

“We were all a family,” he told the host, “Missy [Elliot], Timbaland, her [Aaliyah], myself, Magoo, Playa, Tweet.” He explained that “all of [them] had a close-knit bond before tensions between them began to rise. “[Aaliyah] and I weren’t seeing eye-to-eye,” Ginuwine revealed. He then explained that the beef he had with Aaliyah was actually beef with her family. “I think it had to do a lot more with her loyalty to her uncle, Barry Hankerson,” the artist explained, admitting he had “a little bit” of beef with Hankerson. “He was the record head and the company was my manager,” he says, “I just decided to leave because whatever reason. Of course, her loyalty was to her family. So, that’s where that stemmed from.”

Missy Elliot Had A Dream That Aaliyah Forgave Ginuwine

“We ain’t have no beef or nothing like that,” he explained, “I ain’t beefing with no girl.“ He says, “it was one of those things where our time had separated.” Ginuwine went on to describe how he wanted to make up with Aaliyah, but never got the chance. “I always wanted to make sure that we were cool,” he explained. “I’m pretty sure she was just being told whatever it was … the narrative with me,” he revealed, citing Aaliyah’s loyalty to Hankerson. “I think at the end of the day she understood,” he says.

Later on in the interview, Ginuwine also shared that Missy Elliot had come to him before claiming to have had a dream that Aaliyah forgave him. He revealed that Elliot’s dream actually made him emotional, indicating how heavy the unresolved beef had been weighed on him. The host ended the discussion saying, “Rest in peace Aaliyah.”

Nick Cannon Pursuing Child Psychology Degree

by

Given that he’s welcomed 12 children into his life from six different mothers, Nick Cannon has a lot to learn about fatherhood. Moreover, he spoke on his progress on The Language Of Love podcast with Dr. Laura Berman on Sunday (June 18). In fact, he wants to take that learning process to the next level and actually hit the books. Furthermore, the multi-hyphenate entertainment figure revealed his pursuit of a master’s degree in child psychology. During their conversation, he mentioned some of the things that stick out in his mind the most in his early stages of advanced education.

“Oh, the presence of a father and how much will they need you,” Nick Cannon remarked. “The Freudian aspect of reverting back to your childhood trauma, or the lack thereof. Nature vs nurture. These are conversations I have several times every single day. I’m living, whether in therapy on my own or even just wanting to make sure that every single child has what they need, developmentally and emotionally. I’m studying the brain and at what point does sensory matter.”

Nick Cannon’s Full Interview On The Language Of Love

Regardless of his studies, the “Wild ‘N Out” host is also taking other steps to develop his relationship with his children- or rather, with each other. “As much as that may be a wish of mine, I’ve got to respect that’s not a wish of everyone’s,” Nick Cannon said of bringing all his kids together. “I think that we’ll get there. One of the things I’ve witnessed from some of my elders in the game, once the children get of age to make their own decisions, it’ll happen. Because they’re currently under their mothers’ jurisdiction, I’m trying to play by the moms’ rules. But once they can make their own decisions, I would hope and pray that we’ll have established a strong enough relationship that they’ll want to come hang out with me.

“I think he’s kind of already figured it out,” he said of his six-year-old son Golden. “He knows he has other siblings. Even within his own house, he’s not an only child,” Cannon continued. “He knows about his older siblings. He’s been around the younger ones. He’s been around them, just nobody talks about it. It’s not like, ‘This is your brother or your sister. And I think the school that he’s in, he’s on the internet. He knows his dad is known for having a lot of kids.” For more news and the latest updates on Nick Cannon, stay up to date on HNHH.

Britney Spears Pays Tribute To Michael Jackson With Dance Videos And Throwback Pics

by

Britney Spears’ Instagram has become a must-watch spectacle in recent months. The iconic pop star has been more active than ever, especially when it comes to original content. One particular highlight is Spears’ joyful dancing in the foyer of her Thousand Oaks mansion, something she posts videos of several times a week.

However, there has been a definite theme to her Instagram activity in recent days. June 25 marked the 14th anniversary of the death of Michael Jackson, who died on that day in 2009.

Many of Spears’ recent posts have specifically made reference or paid tribute to the King of Pop. The pair famously performed Jackson’s “The Way You Make Me Feel” together at Madison Square Garden in 2001.

In the lead-up to the anniversary of Jackson’s death, Spears posted two dance videos set to tracks by a member of the Jackson family. In a now-deleted post, Spears danced to “Scream” by Janet and Michael Jackson. However, in a second video still present on Spears’ account, she dances to Janet Jackson’s “Throb”.

In a separate post, Spears posted side-by-side images of her practicing and performing the 2001 MSG routine. “Rehearsals with Micheal versus performance 🙄🤓🤔,” she wrote in the caption. It’s clear that Spears still holds Jackson in the highest regard.

Furthermore, in typical Spears eccentricity, the “Throb” dance video and MSG throwback were separated by a bizarre post. Spears simply posted a Dutch Masters-esque still life that depicted a McDonald’s order. She captioned the post with three Union Jacks.

Offset Channels MJ At Paris Fashion Show

Britney isn’t the only person paying homage to Jackson. Rapper Offset recently channeled Jackson’s iconic fashion during an appearance at the Dior Men’s SS24 show.

The former Migos member sported a black military-style jacket with red details and gold buttons. Furthermore, he paired the jacket with a pair of blue jeans and a flashy gold belt buckle. Finally, Offset completed the look with a pair of black gloves and some shades.

It’s Offset’s second MJ tribute outfit in as many months. The Atlanta rapper wore a red satin jacket to the premiere of Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse last month. He also paired that look with black gloves and shades. Furthermore, Offset sported a white, MJ-esque jacket to the premiere of The Little Mermaid. However, it’s possible this look was a little more Prince Eric than the King of Pop.

Coi Leray Gets Fans To “Get Loud” In New Music Video

by

Coi Leray’s sophomore album COI is finally here, and it’s got no shortage of energetic bangers and rap-dance crossovers. Moreover, the latest visual for one of those jams is here, bringing on soccer star Trinity Rodman for “Get Loud.” As far as the track itself, it borrows from a Jersey club-style rhythm mixed with anthemic horns and excited group vocals. Not only that, but the Boston native heats up the track with some boastful and emphatic verses that fit the melody and drum pattern quite well. Considering the wealth of music videos and singles we got as part of the album’s rollout, to see her continue to capitalize on this success is no surprise.

Furthermore, this is also far from the 26-year-old’s first crossover into the sports realm with her promotional material. For example, she worked with the WNBA for a campaign featuring her hit lead single, “Players,” further emphasizing female solidarity and teamwork. That certainly shows up in the “Get Loud” music video, where Rodman (USWNT forward) and others get invitations to a get-together via flyers. Coi Leray poses with a fancy car, of course, but also parties in the locker room as her peers dance to the track.

Coi Leray’s “Get Loud” Music Video

On that note of unity, the “Bops” hitmaker recently spoke about that when addressing Latto’s mention of her in her latest hit single. “It’s not a sensitive conversation,” Coi Leray told Ebro. “I feel like it wasn’t more about the body, it was more of mentioning my name. I’m about positivity. For real. And I wasn’t sure where it was coming from. And not only that, I feel like the problem with our community today is we be so quick to try to change things but we don’t do nothing to actually change anything.

“So if we’re going to say we’re going to stop talking about bodies, then don’t mention anything about my body,” she went on. “Just period. Don’t compare me to nothing, don’t think about nothing. We’re not smoking on anything, it’s disrespect. And where I come from I just don’t like that.” Check out the music video for “Get Loud” above and stay posted on HNHH for the latest news on Coi Leray.
