Usher Teases Kai Cenat Collab

January 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Usher has teased a collab with Kai Cenat. The hint came as Usher called the widely popular streamer to personally invite him to next month’s Super Bowl. Furthermore, Usher also invited Cenat to come to an early listening party for his new album. Cenat was overjoyed about the opportunity and seemed to reciprocate the desire to work with the iconic singer.

Cenat has been making a name for himself throughout 2023 as his star has shone brighter and brighter. This included getting a Christmas present from Ice Spice. The present in question was one of Spice’s branded chia pets. While Cenat was very excited to receive a gift from Spice, he was slightly confused by the gift. After closely inspecting the gift, Cenat declared that it didn’t look too much like Spice at all. Regardless, he was very happy to have received something from the high-profile rapper.

Meanwhile, Usher also dropped the first trailer for his upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show. Titled “One performance, 30 years in the Making”, the minute-long trailer highlights Usher’s legacy, with a collection of fans and celebrities performing the singer’s 2004 classic, “Yeah”. Usher was announced as the Super Bowl headliner back in September 2023, with the NFL debuting a skit involving Kim Kardashian. This year’s Super Bowl is being held in Las Vegas, where Usher wrapped up a residency late last year.

Furthermore, he also announced that Super Bowl Sunday (February 11) will also mark the release of his new album. Coming Home will be Usher’s ninth studio and his first since Hard II Love in 2016. In the last seven years, Usher’s only extended project was 2018’s A, a collaborative album with Zaytoven. Furthermore, he will be hoping that Coming Home will be a return to form for his work. Hard II Love was his first album since his 1994 debut to neither peak at #1 nor receive an RIAA certification.

Stunna Girl Accuses Zeus CEO Of Sleeping With “Baddies” Cast Members, He Fires Back

January 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Recently, Stunna Girl took to social media to put the CEO of Zeus Network, Lemuel Plummer, on blast. She made various unexpected claims about the Detroit native, accusing him of underpaying cast members, treating them poorly, and even sleeping with them. For obvious reasons, the allegations came as a shock to fans, and have now prompted a response from Plummer. According to him, her claims are false, and she’s only making things up to get clout.

“People out here have nothing better to do than make up wild stories and lies,” he began in a recent Instagram Story. “Probably because Zeus isn’t signing their checks or funding their lives anymore. Folks need to find some business (preferably, outside of Zeus) or if they want to be on Baddies just say that.”

Lemuel Plummer Denies Stunna Girl’s Allegations

“If not,” he continued, “They should go focus on getting those monthly listeners up on Spotify. It’s looking kinda light compared to them so called ‘potnas.’ They think they’re out here clearing something but they need to focus on clearing those records that’s not coming out. Certain cast members have been off the show for damn near a year but because they don’t have any other business or lives, watch it be out me/ Zeus for the next 30 days lol.”

Clearly, Plummer didn’t take kindly to Stunna Girl’s accusations. After all, they are pretty damning, as she also posted screenshots of text messages alleging that he gave Ahna Mac chlamydia. Ahna Mac has since denied this, insisting that she’s never slept with Plummer or had chlamydia. According to her, Stunna Girl’s simply “thirsty for clout.” What do you think of Stunna Girl’s recent claims about the CEO of Zeus, Lemuel Plummer? What about his response to the allegations?

[WATCH] Dr. Umar Johnson Sparks Controversy With Views On Promiscuity, Rappers And Colorism

January 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In a recent appearance on the “Highly Initiated” podcast, social media influencer Dr. Umar Johnson stirred up more controversy with his statements linking emotional damage to sexual promiscuity in women. The podcast, which aired on January 14, featured Dr. Umar expressing his views on the impact of emotional trauma on relationships.

During the discussion, Dr. Umar shared, “If you are traumatized, if you are emotionally damaged; you are promiscuous.” He went on to say that emotionally traumatized individuals seek constant validation from others, leading to behaviors he associates with promiscuity.

His main argument is the belief that children need both parents for emotional and psychological development, emphasizing the significance of a father figure. Dr. Umar stated, “If a woman’s father loved her, she won’t have trouble loving a man,” suggesting that a father’s presence in a child’s life is crucial for healthy emotional development.

According to Dr. Umar, women who had their fathers actively involved in their lives “operate in the dating game completely different” compared to those who did not. He implies that the absence of a father figure may contribute to trust issues and a lack of confidence in navigating relationships for some women.

His remarks have sparked discussions around personal experiences, parenting, and the impact on romantic relationships.

Critics point out that attributing promiscuity solely to emotional trauma may perpetuate harmful stereotypes and stigmatize individuals who have experienced trauma. It raises concerns about the potential for victim-blaming and reinforces outdated beliefs about women’s behavior based on their upbringing. He also spoke on rappers showing color preferences including Jay-Z and ‘woke’ black conscious communities.

Dave Chappelle Raps Biggie’s “Big Poppa” At 1500 Or Nothin’ Day In Inglewood

January 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Dave Chappelle doing a surprise set in Los Angeles? We are not worthy!

On Monday, January 15th, 1500 or Nothin’ hosted their annual 1500 or Nothin’ Day, throwing a huge benefit concert at their 1500 Sound Academy in Inglewood, California. The mayor of Inglewood appointed Jan. 15th as the designated day to celebrate this extremely talented collective of producers, songwriters, and musicians.

To date, 1500 or Nothin’ has worked with all the elites in the music industry, including Beyonce, Jay Z, Justin Timberlake, Nipsey Hussle, The Isley Brothers, and many more. This highly-anticipated event was the brainchild of co-founder Larrance “Rance” Dopson, a way to give back to the community in a major way. Guests were welcomed with live music, food, and good company.

While the musical performances were the main attraction, no one expected Dave Chappelle to come on stage. He even sang Biggie’s “Big Poppa,” and sang multiple records. In true Dave Chappelle fashion, he also hilariously admitted to being drunk on stage.

Actress Angela Bassett was also in attendance; it was her first appearance after receiving an Oscar.

Other talented musicians include Terrace Martin on the saxophone, DJ Battlecat, Brittany Barber, James Fauntleroy, and more. The beauty lies in the fact that everyone who performed was off the strength of Rance’s relationships, pulling up for the love and, again, giving back to the community that birthed him.

All in all, this was a beautiful celebration of music and pure talent. Shout out to 1500 or Nothin’ for giving folks an evening for the books!

Does Coachella 2024 Have An Age Limit?

January 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

After the usual months of speculation, Coachella has officially released its lineup for 2024. Headlined by Doja Cat, Lana Del Rey, and Tyler The Creator (with a special appearance by No Doubt), the two-weekend festival will also feature breakout acts like Peso Pluma, Blur, J Balvin, Lil Uzi Vert, Ice Spice, Jhené Aiko, and many, many more. Set for the weekends of April 12-14 and 19-21, Coachella 2024 figures to be yet another landmark yer for the long-running festival.

As Coachella is one of the most popular festivals in the world, it attracts the interest of a wide range of fans — some of whom might wonder whether they are too young to attend. After all, the fest also has a reputation for being a place where folks can imbibe all sorts of substances (unofficially, of course), and many of the acts on the bill certainly have a certain degree of risque content. So…

Does Coachella 2024 Have An Age Limit?

Fortunately for all those teens and pre-teens who love them some Doja and Ice Spice, Coachella does not have an age limit. From my own personal experience, I’ve definitely seen a few middle schoolers boogeying down at the fest (at Nile Rodgers’ set, weirdly enough. Credit the parents, I guess). There have even been a few babies (with those adorable massive headphones to protect their little ears). So, as long as everybody is being responsible (seriously, kids, if you insist on doing drugs, which I know some of you are going to do no matter what anyone says, DRINK WATER — more than you think you need), all ages are welcome.
