Jess Hilarious & Winnie Harlow Feud Over Comedian’s Alleged Comments About Model’s Skin

December 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jess Hilarious has called Winnie Harlow “borderline weird” after Harlow posted a video to Instagram calling Jess a “b-tch” over Jess’ comments about Harlow’s skin. “I’ve never said anything about this bi+ch’s skin,” Jess added in her reposting on Harlow’s video. Despite Jess’ claims, people on social media are already starting to claim that Jess has previously called Harlow, who has vitiligo, “patchy matchy”. However, video proof of Jess saying anything about Harlow is yet to emerge online.

Furthermore, many people noted that Jess’ had a history of denying that she had made comments about people in the past. “I’ll bet money Jess actually did say something this what she does throw a whole lot of shade then act like a victim when the person say I see you, like this is a pattern atp,” one person noted. “Then she wanna blame it on being a comedian.. girl ain’t sh-t funny ,” added another. “idk jess always wanna play like she don’t remember what she said when she get called out ,” agreed a third. This remains a developing story and we’ll have any updates as and when they emerge.

Jess Hilarious Confirmed As Official Breakfast Club Host

The feud comes after Jess was revealed as the newest permanent co-host of The Breakfast Club. Hilarious became the show’s third permanent host a year after Angela Yee left the show to pursue other opportunities. “Ima put the f-ck on for my city. Specifically, West Baltimore,” Hilarious said during a press conference about the reveal before Christmas.

The news came at a major spike of interest for the show and Jess herself. The news that she was permanently joining the show came after her viral interview with Sexyy Red. It was an especially tense interview, with Red not making any secrets about her disdain for Jess. Despite Jess’ best attempts, she was never able to get Red to warm up to her.

DJ Akademiks Accused Of Sexual Assault & Grooming Minors

December 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

DJ Akademiks is currently under a lot of fire on the Internet right now for some allegedly abhorrent behavior. Moreover, during a recent conversation seemingly on the Off The Record podcast, he spoke about a lot of things relating to his complicated relationship with women. Particularly, the media personality claimed that his girlfriend stole $500K from him, along with some other accusations of assault and conflicting reports about her getting arrested on felony charges. As of press time, those haven’t been officially confirmed. Another tale concerned a girl that he was “f***ing with” that allegedly had a threesome at his house with his friends while he was passed-out drunk.

“I’m shaming her now,” DJ Akademiks remarked. “I said to her, ‘Yo, I’ma keep it a bean with you. You came to my house and had two n***as f**k you raw.’ I ain’t seen no condom, no nothing. I said to her, ‘You should go get tested, bro.’ From that moment, she kept trying to pivot on the denial, like, ‘Yo, send me the video, I’m pretty sure I didn’t f**k him.’ Now I’m getting super tight, because bro, I’m not about to watch this video of you getting f***ed, it’s on my surveillance camera. I was f***ing with you.”

DJ Akademiks Faces Sexual Assault Allegations

Then, a video emerged on social media of a woman claiming to be who that DJ Akademiks referred to. “I look cr*zy right now, but I’m not gonna stand here and let this man continue to lie about me,” she began. “That’s not what happened, Akademiks. You know that’s not what happened. And for you to pretend like you didn’t do anything? That I just went to your house and I’m just some thot. Like we didn’t know each other for two years. You tried to save yourself after your friends assaulted me. Whether you got drunk or not, I know that when I woke up, you were on top of me, too. You r*ped me, too. A r*pe kit was done. You know what? I’m gonna come back with my own story. This what you wanted? You’re about to get it. I’ve been quiet for way too long.”

More Allegations From & Against Ak

In addition, allegations emerged online of the former Everyday Struggle host grooming underage girls. Some of these are alleged DMs, others are testimonies, but all of them are just accusations at this point. Others pointed to a clip of what sounds like a woman screaming during his livestream, althought the validity of this is unconfirmed. Regardless, we’ll see what these explosive claims develop into in 2024. Meanwhile, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on DJ Akademiks.

Kevin Gates Says He’d Put Finesse2Tymes’ “Legs In The Air,” Fans Debate What He Means

December 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Comments made by Kevin Gates and Finesse2Tymes during a recent livestream have led to people speculating about the sexuality of the two men. The speculation primarily stems from Gates asking Finessee if he would “put his feet in the air”. Finesse responds by saying that “if I thought something wrong with you, I would put your f-cking feet in the air”. Many people have taken this as reference to a sexual act. However, it’s more likely a threat of violence. Based on common street slang, to “put your feet in the air” is to kill someone. Finesse is more likely saying that he would not struggle to end Gates if the situation demanded it.

“He literally means “kill me” knocked off yo feet. Put my feet in the air. Yall WANT men to be gay and that’s the weirdest shit to me,” one person lamented. “Y’all so strange he basically say If he ever cross him out his feet in the air as in unalive him and hold him accountable for his actions,” added another. “Clearly he said can u send me to god if i break any codes that’s why he said hold me accountable,” agreed a third.

Tokyo Toni Goes After Kevin Gates

However, online commenters aren’t the only people coming for Gates as of late. Tokyo Toni also went after Gates during a Thanksgiving livestream with her daughter. Blac Chyna and Toni had been on a calling together when Toni began ranting about transgender people and “letting people be who they want to be”. After giving an example from their only family, Toni abruptly changed topics to attack Gates. “There’s a lot of freaky people out there, like Kevin Gates. He got two wives and a he got a big butt.” A thoroughly confused Chyna left the call but Toni just kept going. “I just found he’s from Morocco. That is their religion.”

Of course, Toni is no stranger to just spouting off out-of-pocket about people. In September, Toni took to Instagram to diss Beyonce in a freestyle. “She got all this f-cking money. She got y’all looking f-cking dumb. Who the f-ck gon pay that money anyway. For a bad man’s b-tch who use a fan all day? Stop the fan, two things gon happen. The b-tch gon turn into a jackal. She gotta keep that f-cking demon down. She keep that hair flowing, pounds. It’s crazy as sh-t, round for round. Costumes on, what the f-ck she got on her f-cking page? Costumes…from early age? What the f-ck she got that wilda– voodoo sh-t,” Toni rapped.

Halle Bailey Twerks In “The Color Purple” Costume, Bonds With DDG During Sweet Snuggle Sesh

December 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Halle Bailey’s feature film debut in The Little Mermaid was one of the biggest moments for Black women in the industry in recent memory. The Atlanta native did an incredible job channelling Ariel for her first big role, and even navigated her way through racist criticism with tact and grace throughout filming and her premiere press run. Following that, Bailey continues to flex her acting chops in the recently released movie, The Color Purple, which also stars H.E.R. and Ciara, among others.

The historical project is only just now hitting theatres, and as her fans check it out, the “Angel” singer is giving them a look at what went down behind the scenes on set. In the video below, we see Bailey in costume as Nettie, confidently throwing it back for Snapchat in her slave dress. “Lmaooo [what the hell] was I doing ,” she wrote over top of the clip. “Nettie cuttin’ up between filming.”

Halle Bailey Had So Much Fun Filming The Color Purple

Elsewhere on her social media pages, we’ve been seeing plenty of Bailey with her beau, DDG, lately. There’s major speculation that the multi-talent secretly gave birth to their first baby during the holidays, though they continue to play coy and avoid confirming anything (for now). Instead, Halle is happily showing off a heartfelt snuggle session with the YouTuber, during which he unknowingly had her in a headlock while peacefully snoring away. “I’m the world’s best cuddler,” she captioned that one.

Actress and DDG Can’t Get Enough of Eachother

If Halle Bailey and DDG are new parents, we’re curious to hear what name they’ve bestowed upon their little one. Rumour has it that Halo could be the moniker of choice, but we won’t know for sure until the happy couple offers confirmation. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Diddy Celebrates His Son’s Birthday As Al B Sure Speaks Cryptically On Instagram

December 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Diddy posted from his son Justin’s birthday, adding the caption “U no what day it is” to his post on social media. Of course, the post received plenty of clowning and backlash thanks to Diddy’s ongoing legal woes. However, random commenters online weren’t the only people coming for Diddy.

“When you desperately thought that no one in the world was listening because they ran the most expensive PR campaign to silence you, set you up. Terrorize [you] and you predicted they’d attempt to block you your lungs from breathing! While you were in that forced deep sleep, God says “Be still son. They will finally hear you when I instruct their ears to listen, and they begin to bleed from the truth you’ve spoken all along. BC/AC. 2012-2023. Before Coma After Coma,” Al B Sure wrote on Instagram. This has widely been taken as a shot at Diddy given Al’s link to the late Kim Porter. What do you think Al is referring to? Let us know in the comments.

T.D. Jakes Dismisses Diddy Rumors

Meanwhile, another figure has recently distanced themself from Diddy. American pastor T.D. Jakes has vehemently dismissed rumors that he has any connection to Diddy. “I will not use this sacred day and this sacred pulpit to address a lie when I have the chance to preach the truth,” Jakes said at the start of his Christmas Eve sermon.

This comes after Jakes’ team vehemently denied the reports. Recent claims circulating on pockets of social media about Bishop T.D. Jakes are unequivocally false and baseless. What has always been true, in the words of the late Pastor Charles H. Spurgeon, ‘If you want the truth to go round the world you must hire an express train to pull it; but if you want a lie to go round the world it will fly; it is as light as a feather, and a breath will carry it,’” the executive of public relations for Jakes’ church network said earlier in the week.

Funny Marco Thinks Bobbi Althoff Joint Tour Could Still Happen

December 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

If there was an award for “Best Breakout Comedy Star of 2023,” both Funny Marco and Bobbi Althoff would easily be in the running. They’ve been hard at work for longer, but this year is when they really started to get a lot more attention, laughs, and opportunities. However, it seems like things between the two are not as buddy-buddy as they once were, or Marco is just trolling us a little with his demeanor. Moreover, he recently spoke to Complex‘s Speedy Morman for 360 With Speedy at ComplexCon 2023 and addressed a previous promise that they would go on tour together eventually.

As their conversation began to wrap up, Morman asked Funny Marco about Bobbi Althoff and how he appeared on her show. When he asked what their relationship is like and whether they’ll go on the tour that they promised, Marco started drinking from his water bottle and asked how much time they had left (3 minutes, by the way). Speedy had already mentioned that their initial dates disappeared, so something must’ve happened, and Marco said that “she didn’t feel good,” so they scrapped it. Once Althoff feels better, though, he’s down to hop back on the road and talk about “just a whole bunch of fun stuff.”

Funny Marco Bizarrely Answers Bobbi Althoff Question

Furthermore, during this same sit-down, Funny Marco also spoke on his first-ever Open Thoughts interview with DaBaby. “It was dangerous,” he chuckled. “When I asked DaBaby why he rapped the same, I was trying to ask for the people. That was something I shouldn’t have did, but I did it. But it was great. We ended up making a great episode, got a great relationship. But sometimes I’m like, don’t ask what the people want to know– just ask what you need to know. So that was something that I learned from that.”

Meanwhile, Althoff’s been pretty low-key as of late, perhaps due to backlash for recent interview snippets. Either way, if she’s not feeling well, we wish her a speedy recovery with hopes that she’ll be able to enjoy this tour. These comedians are known for their dry humor, so that bizarre chemistry should be something pretty comical to see. For more news and the latest updates on Bobbi Althoff and Funny Marco, come back to HNHH.

Azealia Banks Seemingly Invokes Ms. Jacky Oh!’s Death While Responding To IG Haters

December 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Azealia Banks appeared to invoke the death of Ms. Jacky Oh! while responding to haters in her Instagram comments. “And the b-tch laughing at me also died on Wild’N’Out, on my birthday in my city. Who’s next?” Banks responded to a hater trolling her for “crying on Wild’N’Out. For many people, this could only be a reference to the death of Ms. Jacky Oh! earlier this year. Jacky was a Wild’N’Out staple but passed away due to complications from BBL surgery. Furthermore, fans were not here for Banks’ comments.

“I feel like she couldn’t touch DC himself with the tricks so she got Jackie. Being on a show that’s all about joking but you can’t take a joke,” one person noted. “That comment was wild, however. “Do not come for a Gemini. Our mouth is something else. When will people realize that? But yeah, that was very low. And that’s someone’s mother,” another added, partially defending Banks. “It’s no way I just read what I read. Heartless smh,” lamented someone else.

Azealia Banks Calls Kanye A “Fat Smelly Loser”

However, this is just the latest moment in Banks’ resurgence in online beef. She recently expressed her support of Nicki Minaj after Minaj faced the public ire of Kanye West for not clearing her verse on “New Body”. “Okay. Now I’m really pissed the f-ck off. Regardless of how I feel about PF2, did fat smelly loser Kanye west really just try step all over Nicki’s release? Did I hear correctly when he tried to take credit for supporting her career?????” Banks wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

Additionally, she wasn’t the only person going after Kanye. After another explosive Kanye rant about Jews, actor Michael Rapaport came after the rapper. “You fat pile of sh-t. You fat, washed up pile of sh-t. What are you – CIA? FBI? You a fed, you fat f-ck? You fat bloated f-ck. Jewish people are going through enough. We don’t need your fat f-cking dusty a– saying anything. If your mother was still alive, she’d be embarrassed. You’re an embarrassment to Donda. You got a new record coming out? Brick. No one’s f-cking with your music. You look like sh-t and I bet you smell like sh-t too,” the actor said.

Nigel Lythgoe Denies Paula Abdul Sexual Assault Allegations

December 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance? executive producer Nigel Lythgoe has denied sexual assault allegations leveled against him by Paula Abdul. “To say that I am shocked and saddened by the allegations made against me by Paula Abdul is a wild understatement. For more than two decades, Paula and I have interacted as dear — and entirely platonic — friends and colleagues. Yesterday, however, out of the blue, I learned of these claims in the press and I want to be clear: not only are they false, they are deeply offensive to me and to everything I stand for,” Lythgoe said in a statement to TMZ.

Furthermore, Lythgoe also used his statement to undermine the credibility of Abdul. “While Paula’s history of erratic behavior is well known, I can’t pretend to understand exactly why she would file a lawsuit that she must know is untrue. But I can promise that I will fight this appalling smear with everything I have,” he noted. He did not elaborate on the nature of this “well-known erratic behavior”. However, it could refer to her alleged affair with American Idol contestant Corey Clark.

What Allegations Has Paula Abdul Made About Nigel Lythgoe?

First reported by TMZ, Abdul has filed a sexual assault lawsuit against Lythgoe under California’s Sexual Assault And Cover Up Accountability Act. Abdul’s suit claims that Lythgoe assaulted her multiple times during the early seasons of American Idol and So You Think You Can Dance? while she served as a judge. The suit recounts an initial assault in an elevator while they were overseeing regional audiences for American Idol. Abdul claims to have informed her reps immediately after the incident but chose to stay quiet publicly for fear of retaliation.

Furthermore, the suit recounts a second incident when Lythgoe assaulted Abdul at his home after inviting her over to discuss “work opportunities”. The assault reportedly occurred in 2015, soon after Abdul renewed her contract on So You Think You Can Dance? Additionally, Lythgoe reportedly called her to “celebrate” the statute of limitations expiring on his initial assault.

Missy Elliott Pays A Heartfelt Tribute to Queen Latifah at Kennedy Center Honors

December 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In a historic moment at the 46th annual Kennedy Center Honors, Missy Elliott paid a heartfelt tribute to Queen Latifah, who earlier this month became the first female rapper to be honored at the prestigious event in Washington, DC. The ceremony, aired by CBS on December 27, featured a tribute segment put together by MC Lyte, Monie Love, and D-Nice, highlighting Latifah’s groundbreaking contributions to the industry. Missy didn’t just paid tribute to the queen, she expressed the feelings of brown girls everywhere— including myself who were forever changed and molded by the boldness of Queen Latifah.

Taking the stage, Missy Elliott shared a personal anecdote from her high school days, recalling the impact of witnessing Queen Latifah on screen. She expressed admiration for Latifah’s unapologetic stance during a time when the prevailing narrative was that it’s a man’s world. Missy recounted hearing Latifah repeatedly chant, “Oh, ladies first,” and how it resonated with her, challenging the existing norms.

Reflecting on Latifah’s influence, Missy emphasized, “I said, ‘Who is this girl?’ And I looked at the bottom of the screen, and it said ‘Queen Latifah.’ Not Latifah, but Queen Latifah. That only said to me that she was saying, ‘You will respect me … I will be a leader, I will be a provider, I will be an inspiration to many, I will be the blueprint to success.’”

Missy Elliott’s tribute underscored the transformative impact of Queen Latifah’s pioneering role in hip-hop, breaking barriers and setting the stage for future generations of female artists. Latifah’s legacy was celebrated not just for her musical achievements but also for her role as a cultural icon and a trailblazer for women in the entertainment industry.

On Instagram, Missy Elliott expressed her gratitude and joy for witnessing Queen Latifah’s historic moment, calling her a “true BLUEPRINT for those behind you.” The Kennedy Center Honors recognized not only Latifah’s individual accomplishments but also the broader impact of women in hip-hop, marking a significant milestone in the genre’s history.
