Fabolous Recalls DJ Envy Calling Him With Real Estate Opportunity

by

Fabolous is an artist who has been extremely successful over the years. Although as someone with money, there are those who seek some of that green. Recently, it was revealed that DJ Envy had actually called Fab about potentially investing in real estate. However, as we know now, the real estate investments that Envy was touting weren’t too great. Instead, his business partner Cesar Pina has been arrested on wire fraud charges. Furthermore, some are accusing Envy of being the catalyst for a lot of Pina’s success.

That said, those who were approached by Envy, are now speaking out. For instance, Jeremy Hecht of HipHopDX recently spoke to Fab and asked him about the call with Envy. In the video below, you can see how that conversation went down. In Fab’s mind, he never thought it was a scam or some sort of fraud scheme. Instead, it was just someone presenting an opportunity. Regardless, Fabolous was never all that interested.

Fabolous Speaks

“He was tellin’ me about some real estate stuff,” Fabolous recalled. “I’m just a guy that gotta see things through a little bit more. I don’t just get hyped at … y’know, it be a lotta ‘get money’ — I don’t want to call it a scam or a scheme — but a lotta ‘get money’ ideas that come to you, so I just gotta see ’em through. So even with that phone call, I was like, ‘Aight,’ but I wasn’t like, ‘Sign me up, [who] do I give my money to?’ Y’know what I mean, and I didn’t really hear back from [him].”

As we know by now, Joe Budden was also approached. However, he immediately told Envy he would go to jail for this scheme. Let us know what you think of the DJ Envy situation, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Bob Knight, Basketball Coaching Legend, Dies At 83

by

Legendary college basketball coach Bob Knight has passed away at the age of 83. The news was broken on October 1 by Knight’s family. Knight had recently been hospitalized and had struggled with ill health for several years. “It is with heavy hearts that we share that Coach Bob Knight passed away at his home in Bloomington surrounded by his family. We are grateful for all the thoughts and prayers, and appreciate the continued respect for our privacy as Coach requested a private family gathering, which is being honored,” a statement from his family read.

After a national championship-winning playing career at Ohio State, Knight became the youngest DI head coach when he took over as the head coach of Army in 1965. Knight would coach the Black Knights to three NIT semifinals in 1966, 1969, and 1970. Furthermore, players under Knight at Army included future Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski and gold medal Olympian Mike Silliman. However, Knight is best known for his time at Indiana. Joining the Hoosiers in 1971, Knight would spend the rest of the 20th Century in Bloomington. Under Knight, Indiana won three national titles (1976, 1981, 1987). Furthermore, they achieved the last undefeated season in men’s college basketball (1976).

Basketball Remembers Bob Knight

While Knight was infamous for his short temper and violent outbursts, his passing was fondly remembered by the basketball world. “I am so blessed that he saw something in me as a basketball player. He influenced my life in ways I could never repay. As he did with all of his players, he always challenged me to get the most out of myself as a player and more importantly, as a person. His record as a basketball coach speaks for itself. He will be remembered as one of the greatest ever,” current Indiana head coach Mike Woodson said. Woodson played under Knight at Indiana between 1976 and 1980.

“Coach Knight … will forever be remembered as one of the top coaches in not only Texas Tech history but all of college basketball. He truly changed the game with not only his motion offense but his insistence that his teams be defined by their defense,” the athletics department of Texas Tech said in a statement. Knight coached the Red Raiders between 2001 and 2008 in what would be his last stint as a coach. He quit midway through the 2008/09 season and never returned to the sidelines.

Marvel is feeling a chink in its movie-making armor and may look to Iron Man’s armor to save them. According to Variety, Marvel Studios wants to revive the Iron Man and Black Widow characters to bring back the original six Avengers for a new movie.

In doing so, Marvel Studios must arrive at a new deal with Robert Downey Jr. and Scarlett Johansson while convincing Jeremy Renner, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Evans, and Chris Hemsworth. The decision comes after Marvel’s success is reeling behind disappointing reviews, fan reaction, and box office reports for movies including Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania.

The vast report from Variety also includes an insider believing Marvel is “fucked” over the Jonathan Majors situation; the Blade movie had over four rewrites, and the forthcoming The Marvels movie needed four weeks of reshoots.

Mariah Carey Sued Again Over “All I Want for Christmas is You”

Mariah Carey and her hit song, “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” is once again the target of a copyright infringement lawsuit.

TMZ notes the duo of Andy Stone and Troy Powers are highlighting the similarities between the two songs, which carry the same name. Stone and Powers state the song was recorded in 1989. You can hear both singles below.

Last year, musician Andy Stone, who performs as Vince Vance as a member of Vince Vance & The Valiants, filed a $20 million lawsuit against Carey. According to Stone, Carey has violated copyright infringement and misappropriation. Named alongside Carey is the co-writer Walter Afanasieff and Sony Music Entertainment.

The lawsuit states Carey’s single exploited the “style” and “popularity” of Stone’s single, which he states had massive success during the 1993 holiday season.

Stone’s single does not have the same medley or lyrics as Carey’s, which was released five years later, but he believes the titles confuse and she did not ask him for permission.

Stone attempted to settle with the defending parties in April 2021 but did not agree.
