Travis Scott Shared The First Trailer From His Eye-Popping, Harmony Korine-Directed Film, ‘Aggro Dr1ft’

January 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Travis Scott’s music is defined by its unconventional, oftentimes extremely warped aesthetic sensibilities. So, when Travis announced his new indie film Aggro Dr1ft, it made perfect sense that the film was directed by Harmony Korine, whose transgressive, experimental style is a fitting match. While the film was screened for critics at a few film festivals, it’ll soon come to a thea– ummm, strip club near you. Today, they offered the first look at the film for the public via a trailer showing off its eye-popping, borderline headache-inducing visuals.

The film, produced by Korine’s own EDGLRD studios (I wish I was making that up), follow’s the self-proclaimed “world’s greatest assassin” and is shot entirely in false-color infrared. The result is a bit like watching someone play a Call Of Duty game through one of those helmets from the Predator films. In other words, it’s perfect for a Travis Scott film directed by the guy who made Gummo and Spring Breakers. The film is their second collaboration after Circus Maximus, which accompanied the rollout for Travis’ new album Utopia.

If that sounds like your cup of tea, I’ve got good news and bad news, depending on a few factors. The film will basically only screen at Los Angeles strip club Crazy Girls on February 7 and 8, along with an accompanying DJ performance by Korine himself and sample wiz producer AraabMuzik.

Draya Michele Labeled A “Predator” Over Jalen Green Pregnancy Rumors

January 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Basketball Wives and Real Housewives alum Draya Michele is facing “predator” accusations after rumors that she was pregnant emerged online. Michele is reportedly dating young Rockets star Jalen Green. For many social media users, the age gap is unacceptable, especially given that Michele’s eldest child is around the same age as Green. However, at this time, both their relationship and Michele’s pregnancy are just rumors and speculation. Michele recently celebrating her 39th birthday.

Despite the hate Michele was getting, many other users lamented the invasive nature of celebrity rumor culture. “In 2024 let’s normalize not being invested in what’s going on in stranger’s uteruses,” one person wrote in response to The Jasmine Brand‘s report. “So what if she’s pregnant by her boyfriend. God is good! 39 and carrying a healthy baby is blessing,” added another. “Im sorry but yall cant make everybody infantile!! That man is 21 in a national sports league. You gotta be grown at some point. Now if it was somebody Bronny age then sure but this man fully grown. Please get a grip,” argued a third.

Jalen Green Humping Video Raised Amid Draya Michele Drama

However, part of the outrage beyond the age gap is Green’s apparent immaturity. In early 2023, a video went viral showing Green roughhousing with former teammate Josh Christopher. The short clip showed Christopher pinned below Green with his legs spread in the air. Green, situated between Christopher’s legs, vigorously trusted in a simulation of a sex act for a few seconds before rolling off Christopher. Both players are seen laughing as the video ends.

Meanwhile, Green took to Instagram in late May to troll Ja Morant. Green was on Live, driving and listening to NBA YoungBoy when fans started pointing out the similarities to then-recent Ja Morant gun-flashing scandal. “Everybody’s commenting, ‘Don’t pull no pistol out. They wildin’, my n-gga, man. I don’t got no gun,” Green was heard telling a passenger in the car.

Kevin Hart’s Tasha K Restraining Order Request Shot Down By Judge

January 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In December, Kevin Hart filed a lawsuit against Tasha K, accusing the gossip blogger of extortion. She previously sat down with his ex-assistant, Miesha Shakes, for a damning interview. In the interview, Shakes accused Hart of cheating on his wife, having a gambling problem, and more. According to him, Tasha K and her team allegedly later threatened to release the full interview if he didn’t pay her $250K.

Reportedly, the comedian refused. Hart went on to file for a temporary restraining order against Tasha K this month, accusing her of tarnishing his reputation with the interview. “Working in the entertainment industry, my livelihood depends in large part on my reputation and the public’s perception of me. That perception is of particular concern in light of the fact that I am involved in a number of family-oriented projects, such as the Jumanji franchise, Fatherhood, Captain Underpants, The Secret Life of Pets, and others,” the filing reads.

Judge Claims Hart’s Motion Was Too “Vague”

Now, however, his request has been denied. According to Rolling Stone, Judge Mitchell L. Beckloff argued that Hart’s request lacked important details necessary for him to grant the temporary restraining order. “Part of the problem I have is that there are no direct quotes of what occurred in the hour-and-a-half interview,” Beckloff said, calling Hart’s motion “just a really vague, over-broad request that doesn’t address actual malice.”

Hart’s lawyer Donte Mills proceeded to argue with the judge to no avail. “There’s no questioning them. There are things said by the speakers that are illegal. It’s defamatory, it’s extortion, and it absolutely shows malice on their part,” he explained. “Not once was there ever any claim stating that my client committed a crime until this video. I think that’s important. Adultery is one thing, but adultery is not illegal.” What do you think of Kevin Hart’s request for a restraining order against Tasha K getting denied? What about him accusing her of extortion? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Oscar-nominated actor Colman Domingo has been cast as the father of Michael Jackson. The biopic, Michael, will feature Jackson’s nephew Jaafar as the King of Pop. The will be directed by Antoine Fuqua, best known for Training Day and The Equalizer franchise. Domingo was recently nominated for an Academy Award this year for his work in 2023’s Rustin. However he widely considered an outside candidate for the award given the Academy’s history.

Meanwhile, fans are already confident that Domingo’s portrayal of the Jackson family patriarch will earn Domingo another Oscar nod in 2026. “Colman Domingo will be fresh off another Oscar nomination very soon,” wrote social media personality Ladidai. However, not everyone was thrilled. Some felt that Domingo was too “dark” and too “skinny” to play the role of Joe Jackson. What do you think? Is this a good cast or would you have preferred someone else in the role?

Later, he would go on to write the book for a Broadway production based on the life of Donna Summer. Domingo also directed three episodes of Fear The Walking Dead.

His mainstream film roles would come later, though many will likely first remember him as civil rights figure Ralph Abernathy in Selma. He also found acclaim in roles in If Beale Street Could Talk and Lucy In The Sky. However, his career would take a very different turn as he played X, a ruthless pimp in Zola, the film adaptation of a viral 2015 Twitter thread. He took on another terrifying role in The Color Purple, portraying “Mister”, the protagonist’s abusive husband. Also in 2023, he appeared as the lead in the civil rights biopic Rustin, for which he earned an Oscar nomination.
