Krayzie Bone Thanked Jehovah And His Fans For Their Prayers On Instagram As He Recovers From His Health Scare
Krazyzie Bone of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony is awake and appears to be recovering after a scary incident that left him hospitalized and “fighting for his life.” The Cleveland rapper returned to Instagram to share an update with fans, who were rightly relieved to find that he had survived his life-threatening health scare. “Just fought for life literally for 9 days straight,” he wrote in the caption. “And I only won the battle this time because I know Jehovah God was with me every step of the way fighting for me. Never take life for granted enjoy it while have you have it! Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers trust me I needed every last one of them.”
The 50-year-old rapper — whose real name is Anthony Henderson — was hospitalized late last month after coughing up blood when doctors discovered a bleeding artery in his lung. After undergoing surgery to repair the artery, Henderson was placed into a medically induced coma to recover, only for doctors to find that the bleeder returned, necessitating a second surgery. After bandmate Bizzy Bone asked for prayers on Twitter, fans of the pioneering Cleveland group responded in force, including fellow Cleveland native LeBron James. Here’s hoping Krayzie Bone continues to recover and gets to enjoy the renewed interest in the group in the last few years.
Lil Yachty Is Facing Online Criticism Over His Tattoos, But He Had A Perfect, Humble Response
Lil Yachty always has the people talking. Whether it be about new music — like his new J. Cole collaboration “The Secret Recipe” — or if he’s the subject of a new meme, the internet is always abuzz for the Atlanta rapper. Lately, Yachty’s tattoos have been the subject of much conversation.
A picture of Yachty shirtless, with his tattoos in full view. Some of these tattoos include a compass, two replicas of figures designed by KAWS, and the word “Concrete” across his chest. Of course, some beholders couldn’t help but crack a joke.
“rappers spend so much money on jewelry but never on a good tattoo artist,” said one Twitter user.
Yachty caught wind of the Tweet, but it appears he’s in good spirits over the joke.
He quoted the tweet with a video of boxer Adrian Broner, saying, “Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah… I ain’t gonna lie, I’m getting cooked.”

Yachty is currently on the road for his Field Trip Tour. In an interview with The Recording Academy before the tour kicked off, Yachty expressed his gratitude for the way people have received his new music, especially with his psychedelic shift on his latest album, Let’s Start Here.
“It did what it was supposed to do, which was transcend people,” said Yachty of Let’s Start Here. “If you are on that side of the world and you’re into that type of stuff, it did its job, its course — the same course as [Pink Floyd’s] Dark Side Of The Moon, which is to take you on a journey, an experience.
While Yachty’s tattoos may have garnered a mixed response, most of us can agree upon the quality of his music.
YNW Melly Hit With A New Witness Tampering Charge
There’s finally another new development in the YNW Melly case. Last week, his co-defendant YNW Bortlen was scheduled to appear in court but his hearing was ultimately pushed back. Just a few days after that it was revealed that a witness tampering count was being added to his charges. Bortlen had been living free in Florida out on bail until he was arrested and his home was raided earlier this week. It’s unclear what specifically happened to cause Bortlen to be accused of witness tampering but he will likely remain in prison until his trial begins.
Now just a day later, YNW Melly is also being hit with a new witness tampering charge. Once again it isn’t clear exactly what happened to cause the charge to be made but it’s yet another hurdle Melly will have to cross when his trial begins next week. He’s expected to face his second trial for double murder starting October 9th. Melly has been in prison for 5 years at this point fighting for his freedom. His first trial ended in a declared mistrial earlier this year after the jury couldn’t come to a conclusive verdict. Check out the original reporting on the witness tampering charge below.

Fans in the comments seem to think that Melly’s chances of beating his case are in jeopardy now. “GGs my guy,” one of the top comments reads. “guess who’s going to jail tonight” another top comment reads referencing the notorious Kanye West song.
One person who still believes he can beat his case is YNW Melly himself. He recently wrote a letter to his father which ultimately made its way to Twitter. In the letter he expresses optimism that he will beat the case and come home soon. What do you think of YNW Melly being hit with an additional charge for witness tampering? Let us know in the comment section below.

Pat McAfee Enjoys Massive First Month On ESPN
Pat McAfee’s jump from FanDuel to ESPN is paying serious dividends. Per a press release from ESPN, The Pat McAfee Show received 242 million viewers across all platforms in its first month on the network. The weekday show, which airs in the noon broadcast slot, is simulcast across ESPN, ESPN+, and YouTube. Furthermore, the single-day peak of McAfee’s first month was a live broadcast from Boulder on September 15. That show alone brought in 1.9 million viewers.
“To be rather transparent, I’m not sure any of us had any certainty of how this particular report was gonna be when this all started a month ago. We had hopes that a massive new audience provided by ESPN would give our show a chance and ESPN had hopes of us helping with the transition into the new multi platform generation of daily sports entertainment. I’m proud of my guys for their work and very thankful for ESPN’s belief in us because I do believe these numbers are telling us all that we’re off to a rather good start. We appreciate everything and everybody. We’re pumped about the continued possibilities on ESPN’s phenomenal platform. Cheers,” McAfee said in a statement.

Pat McAfee Finds Aaron Rodgers’ “Mr. Pfizer” Comment Hilarious
One of McAfee’s most regular guests during his first month at ESPN has been sidelined Jets QB Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers gave a fairly shocking interview this week. In it, he reiterated his belief that he could be ready to return to the Jets this season. “There’s nothing normal about how I’m attacking this rehab. The common practice is about six weeks in a boot, and I was in a shoe in 13 days. This is just my mindset. I believe in the power of intention, I believe in prayer. I believe in your mental status and the power of will, I believe in making room for the miraculous to happen,” Rodgers said. Achilles tears, such as the one Rodgers suffers, typically take six to nine months to heal. However, Rodgers believes he can do it in four.
Meanwhile, Rodgers also spoke of meeting Travis Kelce at the recent Chiefs-Jets game. He dubbed Kelce “Mr. Pfizer” due to Kelce’s recent appearance in a series of commercials encouraging people to get the new COVID-19 vaccine. Rodgers is perhaps the face of the anti-vax movement in the NFL. Additionally, he was reprimanded by the league after faking his vaccination status. However, McAfee found Rodgers’ comment to be the funniest thing he had ever heard.

Rihanna & ASAP Rocky Arrive At Carbone
Rihanna previously discussed her fashion choices and how they relate to her pregnancy during an interview with Vogue back in March. “Dressing for pregnancy was such a piece of cake,” she told the outlet. “But dressing in postpartum, what the fuck do you do? The week that I came home from the hospital – that was nothing but sweats and hoodies. But the weeks after that, you don’t know what to put on. Everything is too small or too big. You kind of just gotta wait it out otherwise you end up buying so many clothes you’re not going to use. Well, unless you get pregnant again.”
Rihanna first confirmed that she and ASAP Rocky were in a relationship during an interview with GQ in 2021, noting that they began dating after the COVID-19 pandemic. They welcomed their first child a year later in May 2022. Rihanna revealed that she was pregnant with their second child during her performance at Super Bowl LVII for the halftime show. Be on the lookout for further updates on Rihanna and ASAP Rocky’s relationship on HotNewHipHop.

Sexyy Red Retweets Post About Papoose And Remy Ma Drama
Recently, rumors about Remy Ma allegedly cheating on Papoose have gone into overdrive. That spawned from a rap battle that Geechi participated in where he delivered some lyrics to Remy directly. Hip-hop fans at large have been processing the lyrics and sharing their takes online. Unsurprisingly, one of rap music’s breakout stars this year who has thoughts on just about everything also found a way to weigh in.
While Sexyy Red didn’t say anything directly about the drama, she retweeted a post that definitely takes a side. “Papoose better than me I would have dated the girl Remy shot,” the tweet hilariously joked. Red’s retweet brought the post to an even larger audience where even more fans expressed their takes. “What’s Remy supposed to do with that besides laugh?” one response reads. “Sheesh if this is true, I feel horrible for pap. Imagine cheating on a n*gga that stayed loyal while you were in prison,” another commenter suggests. Check out some of the responses to Red’s retweet below.

Sexyy Red Takes Papoose Side With Retweet
Sexyy Red has done a string of interviews recently where she’s given her thoughts on just about everything. One of the most shocking moments for fans was when she backed Donald Trump for next year’s presidential election. She said “We love Trump, we need him back in office,” during an interview with Theo Von. During that same interview, she also showed off a pricey Cartier watch that Drake gifted her. Both she and Theo couldn’t help but gush over the piece even as it had fans questioning Drake’s motivation.
In a different recent interview, Sexyy Red explained that despite meeting plenty of rappers, nobody has made a move on her yet. Many had interpreted Drake’s watch gift as a romantic gesture, especially after describing Red as his wife earlier this year. Clearly, Red disagrees and doesn’t count the gift as Drake trying anything on her. What do you think of Sexyy Red’s retweet about the Papoose and Remy Ma drama? Let us know in the comment section below.

Ryan Garcia Tells KSI To “Stop Speaking My Name” After Social Media Feud
Ryan Garcia tried to land a knockout blow on KSI following their recent Twitter feud. “KSI is so salty on me for no reason He can’t go the distance with me like he claimed. He’s a 7 head monster. Stop speaking my name. @KSI,” Garcia wrote on X following a back-and-forth between the two men. KSI had come after Garcia after it was announced that Garcia’s year-ending fight against Oscar Duarte would not be a pay-per-view event. After Garcia said he did not want to “rob his fans”, implying an easy win for himself, KSI suggested he had already robbed his fans following his loss to Gervonta Davis earlier this year.
The two men traded barbs back and forth before Garcia finally told the YouTuber to step up or shut up. “If you want to fight me, let me know or stop speaking my name,” Garcia wrote in a private message to KSI. The December 2 fight will also be Duarte’s first since May. The Mexican-born fighter is 26-1-1 in his decade-long career.

KSI Versus Garcia?
It remains to be seen if KSI will actually challenge Garcia. However, first the YouTuber must overcome Tommy Fury. The two are scheduled to fight on October 14 as the co-headliner to the Logan Paul-Dillon Danis fight. Of course, KSI-Fury has gotten much less attention compared the anctics of Paul and Danis.
However, KSI did go midly viral a few weeks ago after delivering an anime-level monologue to Fury. “When I beat you, with every year that you breathe, that day will be a constant reminder that you lost to a YouTuber. You can train all you want, it won’t matter. Soon you will face reality and it will hurt you. You will be a disgrace for the Fury name and your boxing career will be destroyed when I’m through with you. You don’t want this as much as I do, you don’t need this as much as I do. No pressure, mate. I’ll see you soon,” KSI told a bemused Fury last month.

Jamie Lynn Spears Leaves “Dancing With The Stars” In “Shocking” Elimination
Jamie Lynn Spears’s time on Dancing With The Stars is already at an end. The actress and sister of Britney was eliminated during the second week of Season 32. Spears and her partner Alan Bersten posted a respectable 16 for their Cha-Cha. However, they still found themselves in the bottom two alongside former NFL running back Adrian Peterson. They just didn’t have the public votes and Spears was sent home. Peterson’s samba had earned him a 15 from the judges. The judges were fairly shocked by Spears’ exit, having praised her performance and improvement from week one.
Latin Week had proven to be a mixed bag. While most couples improved, there was still a week-low of 12 points for Mauricio Umansky. Meanwhile, two couples set a new season-high with 24 points. Xochitl Gomez scored 24 for her samba while Jason Mraz scored the same with his rumba. Also breaking 20 points were Lele Pons, Charity Lawson, and Ariana Madix. Next week, the show will have its first Motown Week of the season.

Jamie Lynn Dumped Amid Fan Backlash
It’s safe to say that Spears was not the most popular contestant on this season of the show. In particular, she had received intense backlash from fans of her sister Britney during week one. Many people questioned why Britney hadn’t been invited, with others calling it “Dancing With The Stars’ Sister”. Furthermore, several others openly wished for Jamie Lynn to get injured or for her partner Alan to sabotage the pair.
However, TMZ has reported that Britney was told about Jamie Lynn’s casting prior to the show airing and “took it pretty well” according to one source. Spears has been facing her own dancing woes as of late. A string of knife videos sparked concern among fans and even led to the musician receiving a welfare check from local police. Outside of Britney, the Spears family had been pretty supportive of Jamie Lynn. Even Britney’s ex-husband Kevin Federline say he was rooting for her.
