50 Cent (Sort Of) Issued A Statement Regarding The Microphone Incident During His Los Angeles Concert

No matter how severe the situation media mogul 50 Cent (real name Curtis Jackson) finds himself in, he will let out his inner troll. Although Jackson could potentially face felony battery charges for unintentionally causing bodily harm to an attendee of his The Final Lap Tour, he found a way to joke about the gruesome incident in an Instagram post.

Instead of directly addressing the microphone-tossing incident during his Los Angeles tour stop on August 30, Jackson shifted the focus to the technical issues he faced, looping fellow rapper Lil Wayne into the fracas.

On Friday, Jackson uploaded a screengrab of Radar Online‘s report on Wayne’s audio hiccup during his opening performance at Beyonce’s Renaissance World Tour stop in Inglewood, California. He captioned it, “Damn, the only thing left is Taylor Swift show. I fired everyone involved in the audio department. If the mic don’t work, your ass don’t work here.”

Lil Wayne was slated to take the stage before Jackson at the now infamous show. While the joke was at his expense, rather than Jackson’s alleged microphone victim, Power 106‘s host Bryhana Monegain, but fans still believe that Jackson should issue a public apology to Monegain for the reported injuries she faced.

However, due to the legal parameters surrounding this incident, it’s probably best for Jackson to exercise his right to remain silent.

Pentagon Shares Three Videos Of “UFOs” To “Clear Up Misconceptions”

by

The Department of Defense recently three videos of “UFOs” acquired by the US Navy over the last 20 years. All three videos have been in the public domain since at least 2015. They were previously available through what the DoD has called “unauthorized releases.” Furthermore, the Department said that this was part of an effort to be more transparent.

“The Department of Defense has authorized the release of three unclassified Navy videos, one taken in November 2004 and the other two in January 2015, which have been circulating in the public domain after unauthorized releases in 2007 and 2017. The U.S. Navy previously acknowledged that these videos circulating in the public domain were indeed Navy videos. After a thorough review, the department has determined that the authorized release of these unclassified videos does not reveal any sensitive capabilities or systems, and does not impinge on any subsequent investigations of military air space incursions by unidentified aerial phenomena. DOD is releasing the videos in order to clear up any misconceptions by the public on whether or not the footage that has been circulating was real, or whether or not there is more to the videos. The aerial phenomena observed in the videos remain characterized as “unidentified,” the agency said.

The images were released on a dedicated website set up by the US government. It is the latest move in a push for more transparency about the subject. In July, Congress held a series of hearings on the issue. The hearings gained notoriety after a “former intelligence officer” claimed, under oath, that the US government was in “possession of UFOs and non-human biologics.” However, his testimony was slightly tainted by the admission that he himself had never seen any of the objects in question.

The Pentagon later denied that there was any sort of cover-up involving evidence of UFOs. “[Investigators haven’t discovered] any verifiable information to substantiate claims that any programs regarding the possession or reverse-engineering of extraterrestrial materials have existed in the past or exist currently,” the agency declared in a statement.

ICYTWAT Puts Out YouTube And SoundCloud Exclusive Track “AWGE SH!T”

by

Brandon Banner, also known as ICYTWAT, is back with a brand-new single. Unfortunately, for many, it is not available on the powerhouse streaming platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. His new song, “AWGE SH!T,” is out on his YouTube page and SoundCloud account. The track is extremely short that it could be considered a snippet too. The song is one minute and 15 seconds in length, but it hits hard right from the beginning.

The song starts with some plucky strings that manage to give off this chilling vibe. After about 10 seconds the beat hits you like a semi-truck with pulsing 808s and kick drums. It fires off like a machine gun and then ICY comes in to rap over the production. He provides his signature Playboi Carti-esque inflection and flow, which makes sense because these two have worked together before.

Listen To “AWGE SH!T” From ICYTWAT

Right around the time Carti was blowing up on SoundCloud with his material and his debut Playboi Carti, ICY was coming up with him. The recording artist and record producer from Chicago, Illinois, also pulled inspiration from listening to Bastard by Tyler, the Creator, according to Genius. Like “AWGE SH!T,” the beats he creates are ethereal and bass-heavy trap instrumentals. Besides Carti, he has produced for A$AP ANT, MadeinTYO, and more.

What are your initial thoughts on this new song, “AWGE SH!T,” by ICYTWAT? Is he a pioneer of the underground/Soundcloud rap scene? Which song is your favorite of his? We want to hear what you have to say about all of this. So, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

Jayda Cheaves Shakes Her Bikini Booty In Tulum After NSFW Post-And-Delete

by

Accidental Instagram Story posts happen to the best of us, though Jayda Cheaves revealed more than she was bargaining for with her followers this weekend. Seeing as Mercury is currently in retrograde it’s not entirely surprising to find so many malfunctions with technology taking place throughout the news, but at least the reality starlet was able to laugh off the content that accidentally ended up on her profile.

Amid her girl’s trip to Tulum, Mexico, Cheaves shared a screenshot on her Story of a text post reading, “I’m done healing, I need to f**k something tonighttttttttttt!!!!!” It wasn’t long before she took down the NSFW message, but still, sleuths managed to capture screenshots that wound up on blogs. “Sis omgggg, if you don’t hurry and hang with me,” another influencer wrote when reposting Jayda’s Story. “This is me when I’m tipsy!!!! But let me sober up, I’m an angel. But I’ll still f**k sum 🤣🤣🤣.”

Jayda Cheaves Says She’s “Wyling”

Once Cheaves saw that her lusty thoughts are a part of the public’s discourse, she quickly clarified, “I’m wyling. I didn’t mean for the streets to see this 😭😭😭😭😭.” What she did want them to see, it seems, is her BBL shaking away in the sunshine amid her vacation down south before summer ends.

Aside from what ended up on Jayda’s profile, another video of her twerking on an unknown man has landed on DJ Akademiks’ IG page. She and another woman look happy to be dancing together in front of the stranger, who can’t keep his hands off of Lil Baby’s co-parent.

by

Zendaya turned 27 last week, and her boyfriend Tom Holland took to social media to celebrate. He posted a goofy photo of the actress, showing her posing in some snorkeling gear. “My birthday girl,” he captioned the post. It’s clear that Zendaya stuns with or without a snorkel, however, social media users were not about to let the post slide. Many are noting that he could have found a far more flattering image of the star to post, and calling him out.

“Typical bf,” one Twitter user writes. “Out of all the gorgeous pics of her that exist, he chooses the goofiest one to post.” Another says, “Bro did her dirty.” Despite some commenters feeling as though he could have done better with the birthday post, others claim that it’s a sign of a solid relationship. “Every good boyfriend posts terrible pictures of you on important days,” one fan notes. “There’s science behind it.” Regardless, it’s clear that the post was all in good fun, and the duo appeared to have a great time on their snorkeling excursion.

In an interview at the end of last month, Zendaya touched on what it’s like to deal with fame amid her relationship with Tom Holland. “Parts of my life, I accept, are going to be public,” she shared. “I can’t not be a person and live my life and love the person I love. But also, I do have control over what I choose to share. It’s about protecting the peace and letting things be your own but also not being afraid to exist. You can’t hide. That’s not fun, either.

Travis Scott Embraces His Chocolate Chip Cookie Aesthetic In New IG Photos

by

Travis Scott recently hopped on social media to show off some of the items he owns in his signature brown color. In an Instagram post, the rapper flexes a couple chocolate-colored, matte vehicles. He’s pictured seated on the hood of his G-Wagon, rocking a coordinated look. Travis poses in some brown cargo pants, paired with a tan “Houston” t-shirt. In another photo, he spotlights a pair of brown and white Nike sneakers, captioning the carousel with a simple chocolate chip cookie emoji.

Honing his chocolate chip cookie aesthetic isn’t the only thing the rapper has to be excited about as of late.

Drake Flexes His Brown Cars

When tickets for the “Circus Maximus” tour went on sale, nearly every date sold out in around an hour. He eventually announced an additional 11 dates, giving more fans an opportunity to catch him live. The tour is now the fastest-selling arena tour of the year, and it’s gross earning are expected to be on par with Drake’s “It’s All A Blur” tour. The first leg of the tour is scheduled to close at the end of December with a performance in Toronto.

The tour, of course, follows the drop of his highly-anticipated fourth studio album, UTOPIA. The LP has been a major commercial success, having amassed over one billion streams so far on Spotify alone.

Joseline Hernandez Slams Fan For Demanding She Get The “Erica Mena Treatment”

by

Earlier this week, it was announced that Erica Mena’s time on Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta had come to an end. The news broke following the airing of an episode after Mena referred to fellow cast member Spice as a “monkey”. “Working hand-in-hand with our partners, viewers will see the impact of Erica Mena’s remarks play out over the final three episodes of the season. Effective immediately, she will not appear in the next season of Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta,” read a statement from the show’s producers.

However, since the news broke, a wave of backlash has emerged against other reality stars. Much of this energy have stemmed from Mena’s fanbase, who think she is being unfairly targeted. Furthermore, more than a few people believe that the producers “set up” Mena. “They waited until AFTER they recorded it, edited it, promoted it and aired it. Then fired her months after it happened. They tacky,” one person noted. One person who has received a lot of this backlash is Zeus Network star, Joseline Hernandez.

Joseline Hernandez Hits Back At Haters

One Mena defender on X, formerly Twitter, asked where was the anti-Mena energy for Hernandez, who is the main focus of the reality show, Joseline’s Cabaret. Alongside the question, they included a clip from the show in which Hernandez calls cast member Yummy P a “roach”. “Roach” is a term that has been leveraged in a derogatory manner against a number of ethnic minorities throughout history.

Hernandez’s response was short and simple. “Bitch suck my dick,” she wrote in a quote tweet. Regardless, there are some similarities between Hernandez and Mena. Back in early August, Hernandez got hit with some pretty big criminal charges. Appearing in court on August 3, Hernandez was charged with two counts of battery on a law enforcement officer. These charges stemmed from an altercation with Big Lex that occurred during the all-out brawl that derailed the Mayweather-Gotti III fight earlier this year. How do you feel about Hernandez’s response? Let us know in the comments.

Social Media Roasts LaVar Ball’s New Shoes

by

LaVar Ball has never been afraid to be bold. Everyone remembers when he burst onto the scene circa. 2017, claiming he could beat MJ in a 1-on-1 and that Lonzo Ball was better than Steph Curry. His brand only grew when his son LiAngelo, the only Ball child not in the NBA, was detained in China. LaVar turned his viral fame into the Big Baller Brand. Of course, despite getting some big-name endorsements, such as Quavo, the company has never been able to escape controversy. The business has long been hit with an ‘F’ rating from the Better Business Bureau due to poor shipping commitments and subpar customer service.

But we’re not here to talk about BBB. Instead, we’re here to talk about LaVar Ball’s new, terrible shoes. Ball showed off the new kicks on Instagram. Like Yeezys or Balenciagas, they appear to be a single piece of material that is almost molded around the wear’s foot. Ball’s are Black and feature a large vent-like design on the top. They are pretty ugly, and very submarine-esque in shape and design. “Triple Bs, you know how our flavors is,” Ball said while promoting the shoes. Well, if the flavor is bad, then sure.

Ball’s Latest Shoe Doesn’t Cut The Mustard

Safe to say, social media aren’t feeling the new product. “Man get them ugly ass bread toasters off my TL,” one person summarized. “These look like the A/C vent in your car 😭,” added another. “Those them Noah’s Ark 12s with that length,” joked a third. “They look like yeezys with gout,” noted another. The Yeeyz comparison proved to be a common theme in the comments section.

However, not everyone was down to hate. “Everybody got something bad to say when it’s a black man products‼ but buy this other bullshit that looks the exact same 🤷🏽‍♂️,” argued one defender. Despite this, the Ball’s supporters were few and far and between as people were eager to dunk on the objectively bad shoes. “Walking round with black beans on ya feet😂,” teased one verified user. How do you feel about the latest shoes from Big Baller Brand? Let us know in the comments. Follow all the latest sneaker news at HotNewHipHop.
