Chrisean Rock Reveals She Threw Phone At Coi Leray Over Being Fake

November 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Chrisean Rock’s celebrity fights are usually reserved for the Baddies reality TV show, but she can’t avoid them in real life, either. Moreover, she recently confessed that she had a spat with Coi Leray over a failed collab and proximity to her then-boo, Blueface, that resulted in Rock throwing her phone in Coi’s face. From what the Zeus Network darling expressed on The Jason Lee Show in a new bombshell interview, it seems like the Massachusetts MC was being “fake” in her eyes, trying to pretend like there were no tensions between them. Sounds like she just didn’t want to take it that far, but alas, Rock had business to stand on.

“I thought she wanted to do a collab on some music, but really she was just trying to out me out the plan and bag my n***a and some other s**t,” Chrisean Rock expressed. “I’m like, ‘You can have [him], I just want the verse.’…We fell out because she wanted what she wanted. She had a hidden agenda when she hung out with me.” You can find this discussion around the 2:01:30 timestamp in the full interview below.

Then, the Baltimore native claimed that she met the “Players” artist on a tour bus with GloRilla earlier this year while she was still pregnant. “[Coi Leray] in everybody face,” Chrisean Rock added. “She know we not cool. You can ask anybody that was right there. N***a, I took out my phone, I’ll buy a new one, I threw that b***h at her face. She just wanna sit in my face and smile. I ain’t know what it was. But I didn’t give a f**k what it was.”

Meanwhile, this conversation also ended up revealing a lot about the mother of one’s current situation. She explained a lot of the headlines, antics, developments, and huge scandals that have defined her post-childbirth media space. At least things are slightly better now, but it remains a pretty contentious and difficult spectacle to navigate. On that note, come back to HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Chrisean Rock.

Lady Leshurr Found Not Guilty For Attacking Ex, Is Relieved But Fears Her Career Is Over

November 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Just a couple of weeks ago, UK rapper Lady Leshurr was recently accused by her ex. The reason she was in court was because of Sidnee Hussein, and her then-partner, Chante Boyea. This happened around the same time last year, on October 22, 2022. According to HipHopDX, the altercation went down when Leshurr reportedly bit her ex’s girlfriend on the hand after she stopped in her car. Then when Leshurr’s ex came out of the house to break it up, the rapper reportedly attacked her as well.

There was a chance that the two accusers were lying. The prosecutor claimed the defendants did so with the police. In addition to that, their account did not really explain the injuries. Well, we now have confirmation that Leshurr is a free woman after a year-long battle. She addressed her situation in a recent Instagram post. Leshurr was extremely grateful for it to be over. However, even with that, she believes her career is over for good.

Lady Leshurr Is Thankful But Doubtful About Her Career

A post shared by Lady Leshurr (@imladyleshurr)

“For the past year I’ve been battling a court case from people that accused me of stalking, harassing, and biting them but I was the victim. I was attacked and bitten by a dog and made out to be the aggressor. For a whole year people have deserted me, dropped me from deals, and didn’t want to work with me anymore. For a whole year I have had no income. For a whole year I’ve had to be silent and let articles and the media slander and defame my character. Today has been judgment day. I’m shaking whilst I write this. My brand/career has been ruined regardless no matter the outcome, but at least I have a clean record and can FINALLY get on with my life.”

What are your initial thoughts on Lady Leshurr being not guilty of attacking her ex? Do you agree with her that her career is still over? Does her message rub you the right way? We would like 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.

Francis Ngannou Wants To Prioritize Tyson Fury Rematch

November 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Francis Ngannou has confirmed that he will not appeal the result of his fight against Tyson Fury and will instead push for a rematch as soon as possible. “The rematch is what I want next the most. As for right now I feel like there is a lot of options for me, but I want to choose wisely, and I would go for the rematch first,” Ngannou told TMZ. Ngannou defied the odds to earn a split decision loss to Fury in their fight last weekend. Even Fury gave the former MMA fighter props. “He’s given me probably one of my toughest fights in the last 10 years. He’s a good boxer, He’s a lot better than I thought he’d be and he gave me a good fight,” Fury said after the bout.

Despite Fury having just set a date next February for his historic unification bout against Oleksandr Uysk, Ngannou wants his rematch first. “My best scenario in boxing is to wait for Fury. If Usyk can step out and let me fight Fury, I’ll fight Fury, then I’ll let them do whatever they do. I’ll go back, maybe do some MMA fight and come back with some people in boxing,” Ngannou explained.

Ngannou Not Appealing Fight Result

Furthermore, Ngannou shot down any notion that he would be appealing the fight result. “Who am I gonna appeal to? [The British Boxing Commission]? I have no chance. I think that’s just another way of humiliation,” Ngannou argued. Instead, as mentioned, he wants to rectify the loss with a rematch win. However, Fury is yet to comment on Ngannou’s challenge.

One boxer who is filing an appeal, however, is Dillon Danis. Last month, the MMA fighter officially appealed the result of his boxing match against Logan Paul. It’s unclear exactly what Danis is appealing, given he clearly met the threshold for a disqualification given his attempted illegal grab on Paul in the dying seconds of the fight. Furthermore, given how thoroughly Paul was beating Danis at the time of the DQ, it’s likely that the fight would be ruled a unanimous decision win for Paul. Additionally, Paul responded to the announcement, calling it “embarrassing and desperate”.

New Podcast “ODB: A Son Unique” From USG Audio, Novel And Talkhouse Debuts November 7

November 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Most people remember Ol’ Dirty Bastard as the stage-crashing, secret weapon of Wu-Tang Clan. A raw showman whose death left the world of music, and those closest to him, shocked and confused. But Ol’ Dirty Bastard, aka Ason Unique, was far more complex. He was a man of many names, a God in hip hop, a father, husband, and someone who struggled with addiction and mental health.

Hosted by New York-based photographer and filmmaker Khalik Allah, ODB: A Son Unique takes listeners on a journey into the legendary rapper’s complicated world. The first three episodes drop Tuesday, November 7, with two new episodes releasing every Tuesday.

Subscribe to ODB: A Son Unique on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever podcasts are available, and listen to the trailer out today: HERE.

Remarked Allah: “To me, Ol’ Dirty Bastard is a legend and a prophet of Hip Hop. To lend my voice as a host to this podcast has been a true honor and a way of praising the life of one of the most unique geniuses in music. Our lives intersected in many ways, from having mutual friends to both having been enrolled in the curriculum of the Five Percent Nation. Working on this podcast has been a privilege and now I hope the world gains a new perspective on the short but profound life of Ason Unique, also known as the Ol’ Dirty Bastard; the Brooklyn emcee stormed the 1998 Grammy stage and said ‘Wu-Tang is for the children.’”

ODB: A Son Unique pays homage to a singular rap icon who left an indelible mark on Hip Hop. Host Khalik Allah, who started his career photographing the Wu-Tang Clan, tells the story of ODB from a young prankster growing up in Brooklyn to the formation of the most iconic group in New York hip-hop history: Wu-Tang Clan; and the chaotic production of his debut solo album. Allah tells the story of a man caught between the values of the Five Percent Nation – Black nationalist ideology – and a toxic mix of fame, mental health, and a racist criminal justice system which contributed to his untimely death at just 35 years old.

Through archival interviews with Popa Wu, who served as a mentor for both Ol’ Dirty Bastard and Allah, and new interviews with Buddha Monk, Raekwon, detective Derrick Parker, Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s brother Ramsey Jones, biographer Jaime Lowe, lawyer Peter Frankel, writer and cultural critic Hanif Abdurraqib and more, ODB: A Son Unique offers an unforgettable story about Black life in America through the lens of a kindred spirit.

Happy Heavenly 48th Birthday To Mobb Deep’s Prodigy

November 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The Mind Squad would like to send a supreme posthumous born day salute to Albert “Prodigy” Johnson, the lyrical half of the “Infamous” Mobb Deep. In 2017, the Hip-Hop community lost Prodigy in what is recognized as a freak hospital accident, with reports stating that P passed after choking on an egg while hospitalized for his sickle cell condition.

Prodigy will forever be remembered as one of NYC’s powerhouses of the rap game, repping the Rotten Apple in feuds within the five boroughs (Jay-Z, Tru Life) as well as cross country (Tupac, Crooked I). With his QB partner Havoc, the Hempstead, Long Island native inherited the crown as the king of NYC crime rhyme from his elder Queens comrade Kool G. Rap and upheld his position for more than two decades. P’s solo career was stellar in its own right, with his H.N.I.C. trilogy serving as one of the best solo efforts from an NYC artist that came from a group since Busta Rhymes.

Salute to Prodigy on his what would’ve been his 48th born day and his contributions through his art and music will maintain his relevance in Hip-Hop forever. R.I.P.!

Soulja Boy Reveals His Unbelievable Feature And Show Rates

November 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Soulja Boy is one of the most influential artists ever. Overall, he is someone who was able to change the music game. With “Crank Dat,” he found a way to manipulate Limewire so that other songs would actually play him instead. At a very young age, he burst into superstardom and has been able to ride that wave for years. However, that is not to say he hasn’t had other hits. In fact, he has delivered a plethora of great tracks and projects throughout the years.

At this stage in his career, some of you may be wondering what his finances look like. After all, it is easy for artists to let the well run dry after a while in the limelight. However, it doesn’t seem like that is happening to the rapper. In fact, he continues to rake in the cash. Based on some of his recent comments, he is able to do it thanks to the hefty fees that he charges for features and shows. In the clip below, Soulja Boy can be seen flexing cash while revealing that a feature costs $1 million and a show will cost $100K.

Soulja Boy Gives His Demands

“If you want a verse, it’s gon’ cost you a M,” Soulja Boy explained. “You want a show, it’s gon’ cost you $100k. You want an after party, it’s gon cost you 50 bands. We just turnt Texas up. This what it’s gon’ cost you. No cap. That’s just what it’s gon’ cost you.” At the end of the day, any artist can set any price for themselves. Besides, getting a Soulja Boy feature would have to be an honor given his history. They don’t happen often, although we wish the opposite was true.

Let us know what you think of the prices Soulja Boy has set for himself, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will always keep you informed.

Dwight Howard Steps Out For Halloween Amidst Allegations

November 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Dwight Howard remains publicly unconcerned about the sexual assault allegations against him. Howard appeared at a Halloween function this week, dressed as Sho’Nuff from The Last Dragon. “Why they mad cause God chose me ? 🫨,” Howard captioned the image on Instagram. However, the image, especially when reposted by outlets such as The Neighborhood Talk, was widely met with mockery. “I think they hate you because you allegedly sexually assaulted someone,” one person argued. Despite this, many of the comments on Howard’s original post were ones of support for the former NBA star.

Howard has been accused of sexually assaulting a man at his home. Howard has formally denied sexually assaulting model Stephen Harper. However, he did not deny inviting Harper to his home for a threesome, which allegedly involved a cross-dresser named Kitty. Furthermore, Harper alleges that he was forced to perform sexual acts on Howard and that Howard performed non-consensual acts on him after he objected to participating in the account. Howard has been sued by Harper but has not been formally charged with a crime.

However, despite his nonchalance, more and more people have come forward to corroborate the pattern of behavior that seemingly led to the alleged assault. “He goes to sex parties and preys on younger men, which is why he originally why he threatened, forced, and tried to intimidate me into signing a NDA,” influencer and author Masin Elije wrote on social media. Furthermore, Elije claimed that they had also been harassed by “Kitty” in 2018, the same cross-dresser that Howard used in an attempted threesome with model Stephen Harper.

Meanwhile, back in July, Howard’s ex Royce Reed spoke on her experiences with the former player. “This man is evil. Y’all fall for it every time. Ask him why he’s telling a 12yo he’s gay bcuz he hadn’t “touched anything” or watching porn with them? Better yet, why it took 4.5 years to fire the nanny that molested 2 of his kids. I got time today. He took this little boy from this grandmother that raised him and kept her in court for 2yrs only to give him to his parents while he was overseas. GTFOHWTBS. So while y’all constantly out here pointing fingers at me, understand there’s a reason why!” Reed also claimed that Howard had asked her to be the “matriarch” of his “polyamory quest”, something she refused to do.

Kanye West Has It All Figured Out: Kim Kardashian Details His Humble Lifestyle

November 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Apparently, Kanye West is living a humble life these days with his wife Bianca Censori, and his daughter, North, loves it. On the latest episode of The Kardashians, Kim discussed some of the struggles she faces as the primary caregiver for her children. Although she’s managed to keep her kids in a luxe mansion, North supposedly loves Ye’s modest way of living. Kim revealed that North actually prefers staying at her dad’s place, which doesn’t include the amenities of security or a chef, rather than her mom’s $60 million that boasts a personal cook and a manny.

“She’ll be like, ‘Dad is the best, he has it all figured out,’” Kim told Kourtney during the episode. “‘He doesn’t have a nanny, he doesn’t have a chef, he doesn’t have security’,” Kim recalled North telling her. “‘He lives in an apartment.’ And then she’ll start crying, ‘Why don’t you have an apartment? I can’t believe we don’t have an apartment.’” Additionally, North appreciates that Kanye and his wife cook their own food. Kourtney explained that she faces similar challenges with her three kids, Mason, 13, Penelope, 11, and Reign, 8, who she said would rather stay with their father, Scott Disick.

The latest episode of The Kardashians comes shortly after North West covered i-D Magazine where she opened up about her aspirations and showcased her personality outside of The Kardashians. During one point in the interview, she revealed that she has many career paths she’d like to pursue including becoming an athlete, a musical artist, and an entrepreneur who ultimately runs both Kanye’s Yeezy brand and Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS.

“[I want to be] a basketball player, a rapper, um… Well, when I was seven, I wanted to be a boxer. But now I don’t want to be a boxer. I’m going to do art on the side,” she told the publication. “When I’m, like, thirteen, I want to walk dogs, to make money to buy art supplies, because everything around here is so expensive. So a rapper, a basketball player, and I’m going to make artwork that I sell. Also, one day I want to own Yeezy and SKIMS, and I want to be a business owner.”
