September 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Having fans is a bit of a mixed bag: People enjoying your work is great, but sometimes, they can say things that get under your skin. In a recent interview, Sexyy Red was asked about fan interactions that annoy her, and she responded, “I hate when they say I look like Young Thug ’cause no the f*ck we do not look alike.”

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

In the comments of a DJ Akademiks upload of the interview clip, a lot of the responses were disagreeing with Red. Comments include, “She literally do look like thugger tho,” “Man she ain’t fooling nobody I know thug when I see him,” and, “I never seen young thug n sexy redd in the same room before.”

Now, Red has given in. In a tweet from August 30, the rapper shared a side-by-side image of her and Thug, adding, “Yea that’s my twin I must admit [laughing emoji].”

Michael Jordan’s Copy Of “To Kill A Mockingbird” Goes Up For Auction

September 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In 1995, acclaimed author Harper Lee sent Chicago Bulls star Michael Jordan a signed copy of her book To Kill A Mockingbird. The book had just turned 35 and Lee sent out a select number of signed copies to celebrities she was connected to. One of those people was Jordan. “To Michael Jordan. Best wishes, Harper Lee,” the simple note reads on the first page. It’s unclear what connection Lee and Jordan shared but it was another for Jordan to get the special treatment.

The book remained in Jordan’s possession until 2006 when it was taken by his ex-wife Juanita Vanoy as part of their divorce settlement. Additionally, the book was later acquired by a private collector. Now the book will go up for sale via an auction overseen by Moments in Time. While the price is only revealed on request, TMZ has confirmed that the auction house is seeking $24,000 for the one-of-a-kind item.

Where Does Jordan’s To Kill A Mockingbird Stack Up In Memorabilia Auctions?

Despite its one-of-a-kind status, $24,000 is an absolute bargain for Michael Jordan memorabilia. The most expensive Michael Jordan auction was for a game-worn jersey from Game 1 of the ’98 Finals. That sold for $10.1 million in September 2022. The copy of To Kill A Mockingbird does hold some value though. In 2019, a basketball signed by Jordan during his rookie season was sold for $22,000. Meanwhile, a signed photo of Jordan dunking on Magic Johnson sold for $29,000 in 2014. Additionally, a set of game-used golf clubs sold for $26,000 in 2019.

But what about book auctions? Where does this one-of-a-kind item stack up? Well, if you thought sports collectors were bad… The record sale of a book at auction was set earlier this year. In May 2023, the Codex Sassoon, a near-complete Hebrew Bible dating back to the 9th or 10th century, sold for $38.1 million. It was purchased by the American ambassador to Romania, who gifted it to the ANU Museum of the Jewish People in Tel Aviv. Meanwhile, the most expensive sale of a printed document was set in 2021. That record belongs to a first printing of the US Constitution, which was sold for $43.2 million.

Kim Kardashian Hopes To “Talk Sense” Into Ye’s Wife Bianca Censori Before It’s “Too Late”: Report

September 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

There have been a number of conflicting reports surrounding Kim Kardashian’s reaction to Kanye West’s recent trip to Italy. Earlier this week, the multi-hyphenate was caught with his a*s hanging out while his wife, Bianca Censori, in Italy. Some reports claimed that Kim was devastated while others said that she didn’t care. Either way, Kanye’s actions still managed to get a reaction out of her. However, according to a new report, Kim seemingly wants to have a face-to-face conversation with Censori.

Per Closer Magazine, Kim Kardashian seems to see a lot of herself in Bianca Censori these days. According to a source, that’s especially the case when it comes to how Kanye treats her. “Kim is watching the situation with Kanye and Bianca open-mouthed and she can’t believe how reminiscent it is of how Kanye was with her,” one source said. It’s no secret that Ye’s used the women in his life as a muse. However, it’s much more harmful than it seems, the source said.

Kim Kardashian “Spooked” By Ye & Bianca Censori’s Relationship

The insider added that Ye’s trying to turn Censori into his version of an ideal woman. “She says she can see Bianca being (molded) into Kanye’s ideal of the perfect woman,” the source added. “She thinks it’s worrying that Kanye did not learn his lesson and that he feels it’s OK to treat people like this.” The source added that Kim is “spooked” since it seems that Ye is putting Censori through the same things he put his ex-wife through.

“Kanye is extremely passionate about fashion, but it can become an obsession, with the X-rated outfits and the OTT looks becoming really tough to deal with,” the source continued. This is in reference to some of Censori’s revealing fashion choices in recent times. “In Kim’s opinion, all the fame or exposure in the world isn’t worth being someone else’s puppet,” the source added. “She feels she owes it to Bianca to try to open her eyes and talk sense into her before it’s too late.” We’ll keep you posted with any more updates surrounding the situation.

Trace Cyrus Attacks OnlyFans Creators In Unhinged, Sexist Rant

September 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Trace Cyrus is very mad about OnlyFans. The older brother of Miley went on a lengthy rant about the content platform on social media. Cyrus is best known for his sex-centric 2008 one-hit wonder “Shake It”. “There are so many that do OnlyFans that have lost their chance of ever settling down with a good guy with morals. They will try and call those men insecure for having standards. They get a lot of attention from guys on OF so they think they have options. But any guy who is so desperate to see sexual content they are willing to pay for it is a desperate loser. A lot of successful guys will sleep with those girls but they don’t want to wife them,” Cyrus began.

“I see a lot of these girls speaking out on this now saying they can’t get a serious relationship. It’s because men see the value in those girls strictly for sex. They don’t look at those women and equate their value as a future wife, mother, or loyal partner. I know some amazing girls that are genuinely good people that do OF. I just think this independent mindset of not needing a man is extremely toxic and leads to a very lonely future. I hope more girls continue to speak up about this so other girls know the risk of getting into it. Having a good man and a family will bring you more happiness in old age than OF ever could,” Cyrus continued.

Trace Cyrus Stands Up For Women…By Telling Them They Are Nothing Without A Husband

— Trace Cyrus (@TraceCyrus) August 30, 2023

Let’s be very clear about this – Trace Cyrus is talking out his one-hit wonder ass. There are plenty of OnlyFans creators in happy and fulfilling marriages, just as there are plenty of people without OnlyFans who struggle to find a “serious relationship”. OnlyFans is not the decisive factor. But let’s really dive into Cyrus’ comments. Sure, it’s an incredibly generic right-wing take that equates modesty with morality. But it’s important to understand this sort of rhetoric, as it is becoming more and more common in right-wing circles.

“They don’t look at those women and equate their value as a future wife, mother, or loyal partner,” is a great example. As is “I just think this independent mindset of not needing a man is extremely toxic and leads to a very lonely future.” To put it simply – you are not standing up for women by telling them that they are defined by their hypothetical future male partner. You are simply reinforcing the actual toxic mentality – misogynistic gender norms that help trap women in unhappy and abusive marriages. There is definitely more to say on this topic. However, in short – Travis Cyrus can go “Shake It” over to some feminist literature. Oh, and god bless every OnlyFans creator promoting their content in the replies to his freezing take.

Beyonce Vs. IRS Continues As Singer Is Ordered To Pay $2.7M In Taxes & Penalties: Report

September 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Beyonce’s battle against the IRS continues after the tax agency ordered her to pay up nearly $3 million in back taxes and penalties. However, according to Radar Online, Beyonce’s putting up a fight until a federal court has the last say. The IRS reportedly stated that they made “no errors” when they first assessed Bey’s taxes, standing by the sum of $2.7 million they believe the singer owes them. Still, Beyonce plans to push back on the ruling. Until the federal court makes its decision, Bey won’t have to pay a cent.

The IRS broke down the figures in their summary which includes $967,020 from 2018 ($805,850 in taxes and another $161,170 in penalties). From 2019, the IRS demands that she cough up $1,731,296.40 (from taxes amounting to $1,442,747 and $288,549.40 in penalties). Moreover, Beyonce said that they pledged to add compounded taxes until she clears her debt entirely with the IRS. However, she said that she shouldn’t have to pay penalties due to the fact that she “acted reasonably and in good faith.”

Beyonce Calls Out The IRS

Still, Beyonce’s beef with the IRS stems from claims that they miscalculated her taxes entirely. Bey first filed a petition against the IRS in April. When she brought the matter to a U.S. Tax court, she explained that there were a number of inaccuracies in the IRS’s bill. She said that they didn’t allow her to claim a few million worth of deductions, including “depreciation of $3,326,103 reported” from her 2019 taxes. Meanwhile, the IRS said it denied “generally each and every allegations in the petition.”

Regardless of the outcome, Beyonce will still be fine financially. In the past few months, her Renaissance World Tour has proved to be a fruitful endeavor. Billboard estimated that it could even bring in upwards of $500M by the end of the year. We will continue to keep you posted on any more details surrounding Beyonce’s battle against the IRS.
