Drake Seemingly Shades Rihanna During The Opening Night Of ‘It’s All A Blur Tour — Big As The What?’

February 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake’s growing tension with Rihanna has seeped into his live sets.

The status of the rumored ex-lovers (with matching tattoos) appears to be far from cordial. In 2023, fans began to speculate that Drake was sending shots at Rihanna on his song “Fear Of Heights” off his album, For All The Dogs. Now, users online believe he’s back to his shady ways.

During the opening night of the It’s All A Blur Tour — Big As The What? in Tampa, Florida, Drake refused to perform his parts of Rihanna’s hit 2016 song “Work.” Instead of completely removing the tour’s setlist, Drake allowed concertgoers to jam out as he enjoyed a brief break between records.

“I don’t sing this song anymore,” he said. “But you [all] can sing it though.”

Once an attendee posted the clip, users online rushed to respond to Drake’s remarks.

“I mean, they broke up, so it makes sense,” wrote one user.

“It’s a timeless hit, but Aubrih has been over, so I get it,” penned another.

“He’s so lame…why play the song in the first place,” asked another.

He’s so lame…why play the song in the first place??

Drake has undoubtedly come a long way from professing his wish to get married and start a family with Rihanna. Or even him begging for her to release a new album.

50 Cent Calls Out Eric Adams, Suggests Donald Trump Could Be “The Answer”

February 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent is sick of New York City Mayor Eric Adams and thinks electing Donald Trump in 2024 could be “the answer.” He made the remark while sharing a story from the New York Post covering the city’s $53 million program, run by Mobility Capital Finance, to help migrant families with short-term hotel stays and food purchases. The program will provide 500 families with credit cards that they can only use at bodegas, grocery stores, supermarkets, and convenience stores. The amount on the card varies by size, but the Post reports a family of four would get $35 per day for food.

“WTF mayor Adams call my phone, I don’t understand how this works somebody explain,” 50 wrote in response. “@arimelber can’t explain this I’m stuck maybe TRUMP is the answer.” Fans had mixed reactions to the post. One user wrote: “How u a millionaire hating on people getting crumbs,” while another suggested: “Trump been the answer.”

Ari Melber ended up commenting on the post while referencing Benny The Butcher: “We did do a lot of calls, so sure swap in the Mayor — it can be his turn! Maybe you’re becoming a single-issue voter – some people are – but I’d say there’s more on the line for 2024 than local immigration subsidies. That said, yes immigration policy has tradeoffs; and the US has long struggled with how to welcome many incredible people to enrich the nation – that’s kind of our thing! – while requiring a legal, orderly and fair system when there aren’t enough spots for all… or, ‘Everybody can’t go.’” Check out 50 Cent’s full post below.

A spokesperson for Adams, Kayla Mamelak, told the Post: “Not only will this provide families with the ability to purchase fresh food for their culturally relevant diets and the baby supplies of their choosing, but the pilot program is expected to save New York City more than $600,000 per month, or more than $7.2 million annually.” 50 Cent isn’t the only rapper to voice their support for Donald Trump as of late. Sexyy Red also says she wants the former President back in office. Be on the lookout for further updates on 50 Cent and Donald Trump on HotNewHipHop.

Is J. Cole’s New Album ‘The Fall Off’ Finished?

February 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

To borrow a phrase from today’s cool kids, J. Cole is back outside. In 2023 alone, the “No Role Modelz” rapper has connected with several of his rap friends, including Lil Durk, Bas, and Lil Yachty, to flood the market with fresh verses.

Along the way, he even secured his first No. 1 record, thanks to Drake’s “First Person Shooter.” But fans are desperate for Cole to step away from the collaborations for a moment to drop solo material. Fortunately, the wait could be over soon. With a few previously teased projects still in limbo, what does Cole plan to release first? According to a video circulating online, Cole’s putting all his efforts into wrapping up his highly-anticipated album, The Fall Off.

Is J. Cole’s New Album’ The Fall Off’ Finished?

According to J. Cole, the long-awaited project is nearly complete. In a video captured by one concertgoer during the opening night of the It’s All A Blur Tour — Big As The What? he shared a status report on the album.

“Right now, I’m at the tale end of working on this album,” he said. “This album that I’ve been working on for a long time. It’s called ‘The Fall Off,’ but I don’t know how many people know about it. I feel like I ain’t never said that sh*t out loud, but I’m right there. And as I approach the end, I just be thinking to myself and rethinking sh*t.”

But The Fall Off isn’t the only body of work Cole teased to supporters. Back in 2020, Cole took to Instagram to share a photo suggesting that before The Fall Off, he planned to release another album titled It’s A Boy. So, could Cole have plans to release a two-pack as a token of appreciation for supporters’ patience? Or is that another musical dream deferred, like the collaboration album with Kendrick Lamar? The world will know soon enough.

Chrisean Rock Celebrates 5-Month Anniversary Of Son’s Birth

February 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Chrisean Rock celebrated the five-month anniversary of her son’s birthday on her Instagram Story, Saturday. In doing so, she shared a selfie of herself holding onto her son with the caption: “Happy 5 months papa.” The post comes as the child’s father, Blueface, remains in jail for violating his probation relating to a 2021 assault case, last month. He’s expected to remain behind bars until July.

Exactly what led to Blueface violating his probation is unclear; however, his mother, Karlissa Saffold, has put the blame on Rock and Jaidyn Alexis. “Jaidyn got him one charge, Rock got him the one that violated the other,” she wrote on Instagram after he turned himself in.

Amid his jail stint, Blueface has been feuding with Soulja Boy. Both Rock and her son were dragged into the beef, last week, when Soulja called them out on IG Live. “Chrisean, Imma nut on your face b*tch. Snaggle-tooth h*e. Look like your p*ssy stank, h*e,” Soulja said. “Little ugly b***h. You little ugly snaggle tooth autistic b*tch. You little remidial h*e. Somebody tag Chrisean tell her let me nut on that tattoo of her ugly n***a. Little stinky booty b*tch. Your son look r*tarded. I ain’t gonna like that n***a look like he got down syndrome.

Ice Spice is booked and busy.

Next week, the “In Ha Mood” rapper will grace our television screen during the Super Bowl, thanks to her cameo in Starry’s new commercial. But this week is all about the 2024 Grammys. From industry dinners to performance showcases leading up to the official ceremony, Ice Spice has her plate full. Still, she found time to clear up a few rumors circulating online.

During a Twitter Space with supporters, Ice Spice confirmed that her latest single, “Think U The Sh*t (Fart),” supposedly of her forthcoming debut album, Y2K, is indeed a diss directed at her foe and Uproxx cover star Latto. “The thing for me is, why am I seeing that I’m in the back [on the television screen] of your weak ass snippet,” she said. “So, I was like, ‘Wait, is that me?’ So, I’m like, ‘Since we’re talking about me, let’s talk about me. And I dropped [‘Think U The Sh*t (Fart)’].”

The video in question was of Latto teasing an unreleased track. As she raps: “Every time y’all put me with them hoes, it’s gon’ be big drama / Twenty black Suburbans, we pull up like Sunday Service / I just want a one on one, don’t know why she so nervous,” Nicki Minaj & Ice Spice’s visual for “Barbie World” plays in the background.

The two rappers’ ongoing feud has fanbases online digging for subliminal digs at one another. The musicians haven’t held back from taking jabs at each on wax. Folks believe Latto’s recent verse on “Fine As Can Be” was her latest dig at Ice Spice.

Mariah Carey Called Out For Not Helping Stevie Wonder At Black Music Collective Event

February 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Mariah Carey is facing backlash on social media for not assisting Stevie Wonder at The Recording Academy Honors presented by The Black Music Collective (BMC) on Thursday night. Wonder paid tribute to Carey, who was receiving the Global Impact Award, but appeared to have trouble navigating the stage afterward as she addressed the crowd.

“Every time we meet and talk, it’s like having a brand new day,” Wonder said. “I thank you for your friendship, your heart and the consistent spirit of love that you show.” In response, Carey remarked: “I will never not get excited to be in the company of your greatness!” Despite the kind words, fans on social media weren’t entirely happy with the interaction. “Mariah was wrong as hell for that,” one user remarked when The Neighborhood Talk shared the clip. Another added: “He was thinking about her but she wasn’t thinking about him. I don’t like this.”

After the awkward incident, Carey reflected on her career in the music industry. “When I first started in the music business, I was often told to conform to certain expectations,” she explained. “I wasn’t encouraged to focus on my love for Black music. It took countless arguments, endless tantrums and mostly unwavering determination. But eventually, I was able to reveal my authentic self, as they say, and create music that came from my heart … I discovered a newfound sense of freedom and fulfillment. As I accept this award, I do so with gratitude for all of you here and every person who has supported me along this journey; the fans that have stood by me through thick and thin.”

NBA YoungBoy & Yaya Mayweather Seen Moments After Stabbing In Bodycam Footage

February 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In April 2020, NBA YoungBoy’s then-fiancée Yaya Mayweather stabbed a woman multiple times outside of his Louisiana home. Newly-surfaced bodycam footage uploaded by YouTube channel Raq Rarest shows YB speaking with police after the shocking incident, appearing taken aback by what he had just witnessed.

Reportedly, Mayweather’s victim Lapattra Lashai Jacobs had a child with the YB, and had instructed Mayweather to leave the house when she arrived. Mayweather refused, and the situation quickly turned violent. Allegedly, Mayweather stormed into the home and retrieved two knives, which she used to stab Jacobs two times. Jacobs was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital where she was treated for her injuries. She reportedly underwent surgery for lacerations on her arm, and has since made a full recovery.

NBA YoungBoy Speaks With Police Officers

Another clip posted to the same YouTube channel shows NBA YoungBoy sitting in handcuffs in the back of a police car after the incident. He repeatedly told officers that he didn’t want to discuss what he had just seen, and claimed that Mayweather didn’t do anything wrong. “The victim will tell you,” he explained. He later demanded that officers remove his handcuffs, and they refused.

Similar footage of Mayweather shows her getting emotional when learning that Jacobs had to be taken to a hospital, also insisting that NBA YoungBoy was innocent. Ultimately, Mayweather pleaded guilty to aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in April of 2022. She was sentenced to six years of probation. Prosecutors also recommended that she receive six years of deferred adjunction, as well as 40 hours of community service.

February 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Iggy Azalea has shared a series of new pictures on Instagram while enjoying her time away from creating new music. Most of the photos appear to stem from her performance during the 2024 Adult Video News Awards at Resorts World Las Vegas, last month. The post comes after Azalea announced she’s abandoning work on her upcoming album and shifting away from music.

In response to the post, fans continued to ask for her to release new music. “IGGY I NEED YOU MUSIC, PLEASE DON’T GO,” one user commented. “Iggy [fire emoji]… oh em gee! You can’t look like that and NOT release new bangers,” another wrote.

As for her announcement about moving away from music, Azalea explained that she’s more motivated by design and creative direction at the moment and has been for a long time. “In truth what I’ve known for a long time is that I feel more passionately about design and creative direction than I do about songwriting,” she said at the start of the new year. “That’s why I want to let you know that I’m not going to finish my album. It’s been paused for a few months while I was giving direction for a different project & in truth I just haven’t felt the urge to go back to it. I feel really happy & passionate in my day to day life when my [mind’s] focused on that and so I want to stick to what’s undeniably best for me.”

LeBron James Dodges Questions About Next Season

February 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

LeBron James had a very simple answer when asked if he had thought about what he was going to do with his player option year for next season – “No.” The veteran star gave the blunt answer following a Lakers shootaround ahead of their marquee clash against the Knicks. LeBron has a $51.4 million player option for the 2024/25 with a late-July opt-in deadline. Since that deadline comes a few days after the NBA Draft, many pundits believe LeBron will wait to see if and where his son Bronny is drafted.

However, the news comes a day after LeBron’s agent shut down speculation that LeBron could be dealt at the trade deadline. “LeBron won’t be traded, and we aren’t asking to be,” Paul said in response to growing speculation that LeBron might be leaving the Lakers midseason. Of course, LeBron hasn’t helped quiet the rumors. Following a loss to the Lakers earlier this week, LeBron posted an hourglass emoji to social media.

Stephen A. Smith Wants The Knicks To Trade For LeBron James

However, Paul’s comments about his biggest client haven’t stopped people from making their trade pitches regardless. Stephen A. Smith has caused a stir after using a segment on First Take to pitch a deadline trade between his Knicks and the Lakers to acquire LeBron James. Smith’s pitch is more based on the vibes of “LeBron at MSG” rather than how LeBron would actually make the Knicks a better team. Smith’s Knicks are currently in the East and are riding a six-game winstreak. However, they recently lost the team’s second scorer, Julius Randle, until at least after the All-Star Game.

Ahead of tonight’s game against the Knicks, LeBron was asked whether he had ever considered what it would be like to have MSG as a home court. “During my free agency period in 2010, it was one of the teams that I looked at. So I’ve had that thought in my career. However, he also made it clear that his focus is the Lakers for the time being. “I’m very proud of our efforts in Boston. Those guys stepped up and played exceptional basketball. Beautiful to see. Beautiful to watch. If we can play some good basketball, string a couple wins together, and not be so Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde on any given night, then we’ll be OK,” LeBron said.
