JAY-Z Admits He Refused To Lend Cousin $4,800, Fans React

October 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

JAY-Z says that he once refused to lend a cousin $4,800 and vented about how the interaction made him uncomfortable. The legendary rapper, who is worth approximately $2.5 billion, explained his side of the situation while speaking with Kevin Hart on his talk show, Hart to Heart, in a clip that has resurfaced on social media.

JAY-Z went on to say that he was frustrated when his cousin remarked that he didn’t “believe in their dream.” The cousin also suggested it would return Jay a profit of $2 million. The comments have been dividing fans on social media, with many suggesting it was a selfish move by Hov.

One user on Twitter wrote: “Jay Z has 2.5 billion dollars, his cousin asked for 4800 and he said no. To put that into perspective, that’d be the equivalent of someone who made 50,000 a year being asked to give a dime.” Another defended him: “The problem is once you say yes that first time, they always think they can come back to you for more. And it also makes the people around them feel more comfortable asking as well. They become dependent and it’s a very slippery slope.” Check out JAY-Z’s explanation of the situation below.

JAY-Z On His Family Asking For Money

Elsewhere in the interview with Kevin Hart, Jay discussed his eventual plans for retirement, not accepting money for features, and more. Jay and Hart have been friends for years at this point. The comedian recently hosted at JAY-Z, Meek Mill, and Michael Rubin’s casino night event for the Reform Alliance. The star-studded evening welcomed Tom Brady, Kim Kardashian, and many more celebrities who helped raise $24 million for criminal justice reform.

Aaron Rodgers Calls Travis Kelce “Mr. Pfizer,” Pat McAfee Acts Like It’s The Funniest Thing He’s Ever Heard

October 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Aaron Rodgers has been incredibly critical of anyone who takes the COVID-19 vaccine. Overall, he doesn’t believe in the shots and the boosters, which is fine, he is entitled to his opinion. However, over the last few months, he has become increasingly hostile to those who have gotten vaccinated. Between his constant need for Ayahuasca and darkness retreat, Rodgers has become a curmudgeon in his old age.

Moreover, he had no problem taking modern medicine to fix his Achilles which snapped in half on live TV for millions of people to see. His peanut-brittle ankles had Jets fans in shambles, and now, he is forced to watch games in empty press boxes. Where is his family? Well, you can ask his former Bachelor contestant brother about that. Anyways, Rodgers was recently on The Pat McAfee Show, where he decided to take a shot at Travis Kelce, for the unholy crime of appearing in a Pfizer ad.

Aaron Rodgers The Hater

In the clip above, Rodgers calls Kelce “Mr. Pfizer” as McAfee and his co-host hide their giggles like a bunch of toddlers who are giving their mom “bunny ears” without her noticing. Overall, McAfee has proven to be easily entertained. This is especially true when Rodgers is on the show. However, as you can expect, Rodgers was not pressed about the fact that his boss is part of Johnson & Johnson. In fact, it is quite literally in his name. So while he calls Kelce “Mr. Pfizer,” Rodgers can also be seen at his local bank branch, cashing cheques from “Mr. Johnson.” The lack of self-awareness is staggering, yet unsurprising.

Travis Kelce has yet to respond to this, and he probably never will. After all, he has better things to do, such as play football on Sundays. Let us know what you think of all of this, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

Blueface Claps Back At Shooting Victim For Courtroom Selfie

October 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Yesterday, news hit the internet that Blueface was being sentenced to 24-60 months in jail for a shooting that happened outside a strip club last year. The news didn’t end up being quite as dramatic as it seemed though. The rapper and reality star was handed down a suspended sentence that likely won’t result in any jail time as long as he can stay away from guns and out of trouble while the sentence plays out. The result of the case has to be seen as a victory for the rapper who avoided harsher trouble despite his history with the law.

One of the more viral moments of the sentencing came as a result of the victim of the case. The man who was shot took a selfie in court with both Blueface and his entire legal team in the background. He shared the picture to Twitter and it quickly began making the rounds online. That included the rapper himself who caught the picture and posted his own response. “This man showed up to court told on me just to take a photo with me,” he said in a tweet responding to the situation. Check out the tweet he made and some of the responses to it below.

Before his recent sentencing, Blueface had been spending plenty of time with Jaidyn Alexis recently. Yesterday was her birthday and the pair dropped a new video to celebrate. “It’s a real b**ch C-Day today. First Lady of MILF MUSIC, the one y’all love to hate. TURN MY B**CH UP TODAY ON SY,” he said in a tweet celebrating her big day.

Elsewhere Blueface also made it clear what his financial goals are. He spoke recently on wanting “generational wealth” for himself, Alexis, and their two sons. What do you think of Blueface’s response to the man he shot taking a selfie with him in court? Let us know in the comment section below.

Julia Roberts Net Worth 2023: What Is The Actress Worth?

October 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Julia Fiona Roberts, born on October 28, 1967, was destined for stardom from her earliest days in Smyrna, Georgia. Born to parents who co-founded an actors and writers’ workshop, Roberts was nurtured in an atmosphere of creativity. Yet, her initial aspirations didn’t lie squarely in acting. Roberts first graced the screens with a guest appearance in Crime Story in the late ’80s, but it was her breakout role in Mystic Pizza that signaled the arrival of a future Hollywood legend. With each step she took, she meticulously carved her path, drawing the world’s attention and ensuring her name echoed through Hollywood’s hallways. Her talent, charm, and relentless drive have amassed not only accolades but a notable net worth of $250 million in 2023, as spotlighted by Wealthy Gorilla.

Career Highlights & Accolades

Few in Hollywood can boast a career trajectory quite like Roberts. Pretty Woman made her a household name and defined the rom-com genre. Yet, it was her deeper, more challenging roles in films like Erin Brockovich that showcased her expansive range. She received an Academy Award for this performance, further cementing her status as an acting powerhouse. Her collaboration with notable directors, from Steven Soderbergh to Mike Newell, has yielded commercially successful and critically acclaimed cinema.

Personal Life & Highlights

While her professional achievements are lauded globally, Roberts’s personal life has been as multifaceted as her on-screen characters. Married to cameraman Daniel Moder, the couple shares three children, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a private sanctuary away from the prying eyes of the paparazzi. Roberts, a practicing Hindu, often attributes her equilibrium in the chaotic world of showbiz to her spiritual beliefs and practices.

Business Ventures & Philanthropy

Beyond her cinematic pursuits, Roberts has ventured into production, realizing that stories must be told in front of and behind the camera. Her production company, Red Om Films, is a testament to her business acumen. But perhaps, more importantly, is her philanthropic spirit. An ardent supporter of UNICEF, Roberts believes in using her stature for the greater good. From advocating for children’s rights to raising awareness about environmental issues, she ensures her influence is felt far beyond the silver screen.

Here Are The Musical Guests For ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ This Week

October 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon is back on the air this week after the WGA received a fair agreement following a months-long writers strike. However, since the Screen Actors Guild is still on strike, actors can appear as guests but cannot promote their projects.

Because of this, the late-night shows are also bringing on some fun musical guests to entertain the audience. Here’s who’s been scheduled so far for this week.

John Mayer — Monday, October 2

John Mayer appeared as Jimmy Fallon’s musical guest for the show’s return on Monday. He followed Matthew McConaughey on the night’s lineup, and Fallon had some jokes about it. “And Matthew McConaughey will sing too,” he said. “I haven’t asked him yet, but… Matthew will you?”

Jelly Roll — Tuesday, October 3

Tonight, Jelly Roll is the musical guest. For those not familiar, he is a country musician and rapper on the rise. He took home three CMT Awards earlier this year and just dropped a new album, Whitsitt Chapel, in June.

Carly Pearce — Wednesday, October 4

The Tonight Show will keep the country vibes going on Wednesday with Carly Pearce as the performer. The Grammy Award winner is also a member of the Grand Old Opry as of 2021.

Maluma — Thursday, October 5

While there currently aren’t any actors scheduled to appear on the Thursday episode, according to TV Guide, Maluma will be there to bring the energy. His latest album is this summer’s Don Juan.

Killer Mike feat. Robert Glasper and Eryn Allen Kane — Friday, October 6

Finally, to close out the week, Killer Mike will be joined by special guests including the Grammy-winning jazz musician Robert Glasper and Eryn Allen Kane for a not-to-miss performance.

Metro Boomin Reveals Desire To Work With Jay-Z And Others

October 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Metro Boomin might have the most decorated career of any rap producer ever. 2016 is when the empire began to build its foundation. The first project that got things started for Young Metro was the brief and dark collaboration project with him and 21 Savage. Savage Mode set the tone for the rest of the rapper’s career for the type of lane he was going to operate in. Additionally, though, for Metro, it displayed that he can create an interesting listen with him behind the scenes from front to back. In 2017, he rattled off three projects. One with NAV, Offset and 21, and Big Sean at the end of that year.

2018 saw his sophomore album drop, NOT ALL HEROES WEAR CAPES. This project expanded and diversified his soundscapes further than they had ever been before. Metro and 21 put out their fiery sequel to Savage Mode, and then, late 2022 and early 2023 came around. HEROES & VILLAINS and his soundtrack for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse are his biggest projects yet. This truly solidified him as a legend and possibly the greatest trap producer of all time. All of these albums have led him to work with some incredible talents like Future, Young Thug, Travis Scott, and more. However, there is one that he needs to get in the studio with as soon as possible.

Metro Boomin Rattles Off A Few Names, But One Sticks Out The Most

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Young Metro 3 Times (@metroboomin)

He recently was the cover artist for the latest Billboard magazine issue and he sat down with them to discuss a whole bunch of things. One nugget that AllHipHop uncovered was Boomin’s urge to work with arguably the greatest MC ever. He also lists off some other names from other genres. “I still really want to do something with Justin Timberlake. “I need to work with Miguel.” But, the biggest name of them all was Hov. Metro said, “I still haven’t worked with Jay-Z.” While Jay does not usually rap over more contemporary sounds, it is hard to deny how incredible this could possibly sound.

What are your initial thoughts on Metro Boomin’s interview with Billboard saying he wants to work with Jay-Z and more? Do you think this will ever happen? Would it be the greatest rap track of all time? We want to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest breaking news around Metro Boomin, Jay-Z, and the rest of the music world.
