Antonio Brown Files For Bankruptcy

May 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Antonio Brown cannot stay out of trouble to save his life. The controversial ex-athlete was recently embroiled in a scandal in which he sent a NSFW message to Caitlin Clark, and now, he’s opening up about his recent financial troubles. In classic AB fashion, he announced he was filing for bankruptcy on social media, while at the same type hyping up his career and accomplishments. Needless to say, the bankruptcy overshadowed the flexing.

Brown made the announcement on the X (formerly Twitter) account of CTESPN Network. CTESPN is the sports organization Brown launched in April 2024. He put the bad news up top, but he maintained that he was still a “legend” in world of football. “NFL legend Antonio Brown has filed bankruptcy today,” he wrote in the tweet. If AB’s legendary status was not made clear, the account noted that he’s destined to go into the hall of fame in his first year of eligibility. Also, he’s cooking up new music? “Brown will be a first ballot hall of famer in 2027,” the account added. “He will be releasing new music this summer.”

Antonio Brown Also Teased New Music This Summer

It seemed as though the tweet could not have had a more biased spin, but CTESPN outdid itself once again. “He is also the founder of the most trusted source in all of sports,” the account wrote, without a shred of self-awareness. “The generational run continues.” Brown has attempted multiple careers since he stop playing football professionally. During a 2022 appearance on Assets Over Liabilities, he spoke on the importance of making his money work for him and investing properly.

“For me, while I’m not playing to be able to make the big checks, I want to make my millions work for me,” he told the hosts. “So, partner with a real estate company with over a billion dollars in equity, put some millions in there… just helps my residuals. So, now I don’t got to wake up and look for money — they’re providing me interest off equity every month.” Based on his recent announcement, though, it appears Antonio Brown’s money is working against him.

Eminem’s Daughter Gets Married with Famous Father Celebrating Alongside Her

May 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

While it seems like half of the rap world is beefing, Eminem (who is no stranger to rap beefs himself) sat this one out and instead opted for a more positive experience over the weekend as he joined daughter Hailie Jade as she got married to her longtime boyfriend Evan McClintock.

On Instagram, Hailie Jade shared a few wedding photos along with the caption:

“Waking up a wife this week. We couldn’t have asked for a better, more beautiful weekend celebration. So so many happy tears were shed, laughs & smiles were had, & so much love was felt. Evan and I are feeling so grateful for all of the family & friends that traveled to support us and be a part of this new chapter of our lives as husband & wife.“

The wedding, which took place over the weekend at at Greencrest Manor in Battle Creek, Michigan, was attended by the couple’s friends and family, including Em, his ex-wife Kim, and Alaina (Em’s adopted daughter). Halie, wore a mermaid-style white dress with a sweetheart neckline and a flowing tulle train while her father and husband wore traditional black tuxedos.

While the newlyweds were certainly the stars of the show, Eminem performed traditional father roles such as walking his daughter down the aisle and joining her for a father-daughter dance on a rose-infused dance floor. No word what song they danced to.

The couple left the ceremony in a vintage Cadillac convertible. The two met in college in 2016 and have been together ever since. McClintock did reportedly say that he asked Em for his daughter’s hand before popping the question.

GloRilla’s Gospel Performance On Megan Thee Stallion’s Tour Garners Mixed Reactions

May 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rap fans have been breaking down Megan Thee Stallion’s ongoing tour on a night by night basis. It started with a major debate over whether or not she was a “stadium caliber” artist. Her status was seemingly confirmed when she sold out more than a dozen stadiums before the tour even got underway. Megan haters have continued trying to criticize her tour online though, many inspired by her beef with Nicki Minaj earlier this year.

Now they’re taking aim at GloRilla, who is also present on the tour. During a recent show she transitioned into her performance of “Yeah Glo” by covering Tamela Mann’s “Take Me To The King.” The video made the rounds online today where those same haters attempted to bash the performance. But in the comments of an Instagram repost of the video, many come to her defense. “Yall gone learn about playing with God” one of the top comments jokes. “Maybe She feels blessed and seeing that her name is hallelujah I could see how she would want to show a lil praise before preforming her song thinking about where she has come from ! Maybe she’s just giving him the glory the way she thinks fit,” a comment in Glo’s defense reads. Check out the full video and variety of reactions to it below.

GloRilla’s Gospel Performance Divides Fans

During a recent performance on their tour, Meg and Glo upset the Barbz even more. That’s because they invited Natalie Nunn on stage to dance alongside them. Nunn was famously mentioned in a joke from one of the songs on Nicki Minaj’s newest album Pink Friday 2. Many fans jumped to the conclusion that Nunn’s inclusion was a veiled shot at Nicki from Megan.

What do you think of GloRilla performing a gospel song as part of her set on Megan Thee Stallion’s tour? Do you agree with the fans calling it a poor performance, or those coming to her defense for the unique choice? Let us know in the comment section below.

Doechii Performs Mash-Up Of Her Hit “Persuasive” And Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us”

May 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Though the beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake is likely over, the impact of their brief spat it likely to be felt for quite a while. One of the big reasons why is Kendrick’s final release in their back-and-forth, the DJ Mustard-produced “Not Like Us.” Instead of some of the more serious tracks that spawned from their beef, “Not Like Us” is a banger that fans latched onto immediately. The song soared to a number one debut on the Hot 100 with just 5 days tracking. This week it sits at the number two spot behind only Morgan Wallen and Post Malone’s new collaboration which debuted at number one.

Someone who seems to be a particular big fan “Not Like Us” is Kendrick’s former Top Dawg Entertainment label mate Doechii. During a recent performance she interpolated the song into one of her biggest hits. The success of her track “Persuasive” served as a massive leaping off point for her back in 2022. In particular, the track’s remix featuring SZA became a major fan favorite. Now she’s once again making additions to the track as she delivered lyrics from “Not Like Us” during her performance of it at a recent show. Check out the clip of her live mash-up below.

Earlier this year, a list of Top Dawg Entertainment artists expected to release a new album in 2024 made the rounds online. Included on the list was Doechii who has already begun teasing a potential new project. Most notably, she dropped the single “Alter Ego” which features JT of City Girls on it. The hard-hitting cut has racked up more than 8 million streams on Spotify since it first dropped last month.

What do you think of Doechii mashing up her song “Persuasive” with Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us?” Are you looking forward to the new album from the R&B songstress promised by TDE earlier this year? Let us know in the comment section below.

BET Awards 2024 Nominations: Best Male Hip Hop Artist

May 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s only a few weeks until the 2024 BET Awards take place. Nominations have been announced, and the Award for Best Male Hip Hop Artist will go to one out of eight nominees. The category is, of course, packed with several notable names, from Lil Wayne, to Future. However, there’s absolutely no telling who will snag the award this year.

Last year and the year before, Kendrick Lamar took home the award. This further extended his run as the rapper with the most wins in the category. This year, K-Dot is looking to continue his streak once again. However, the competition is tight, and it could go one of several ways. Here are all the eight nominees for Best Male Hip Hop Artist at the 2024 BET Awards.

21 Savage

Last year was very eventful for 21 Savage. He and Drake embarked on the It’s All a Blur Tour, which just recently came to an end. Furthermore, he released his third solo album, american dream, to positive reviews. The album was packed with impressive features, including Burna Boy, Doja Cat, Lil Durk, Travis Scott, Summer Walker, and more. Nonetheless, 21 was the star of the show. Immersing himself fully in his creative versatility, he released a worthwhile project.

Burna Boy

There’s a bit of confusion as to why Burna Boy emerged in this category at the 2024 BET Awards. The African Giant has been noted for his ability to adapt to musical genres, but he’s never been fully affiliated with Hip Hop. Nonetheless, his seventh album, I Told Them… made waves upon release and earned a favorable reception. The album did feature an impressive lineup of Hip Hop acts though, including Dave, RZA, J. Cole, and more.

Drake

It’s become common law that Drake scores a nod in this category. It comes as no surprise that he’s the most nominated act in this category. For context, Drake has been nominated yearly since he burst onto the scene in 2010. That gives him a whopping 15 nominations to his credit. While he’s yet to win since 2016, the 2024 BET Awards could prove a game-changer. Drake had a magnificent 2023, which included going on tour and releasing his eighth studio album, the chart-topping For All the Dogs.

Future

Future enjoyed a fairly chill 2023, making splashes here and there with a few singles. He embarked on the Future and Friends: One Big Party Tour with Don Tolliver, G Herbo, Mariah the Scientist, and more. He’s also coming off back-to-back nominations at the 2022 and 2023 BET Awards, respectively, and things might swing his way at the 2024 ceremony. Additionally, Future is also one of the most nominated in the category’s history, with eight nods to his name. However, he’s yet to win so far.

Gunna

Gunna returned to our ears in 2023 with the release of his fourth album, a Gift & a Curse. The project did not feature any artists, allowing Gunna to shine all on his own. It spawned the hit single “FukUMean,” which became one of the songs of the summer. This is his first BET nomination for Best Male Hip Hop Artist, making him one of only two first-time nominees in the category.

J. Cole

Surprisingly, J. Cole is yet to win in this category. In fact, he’s the most nominated act in the category without a win. Perhaps 2024 is his year to claim the trophy after a whopping 11 BET Awards nominations in this category. Cole has earned back-to-back nods since 2021. He joined Drake and 21 Savage on the It’s All a Blur Tour, performing at two shows. Subsequently, he joined the second American leg, titled It’s All a Blur Tour – Big as the What?

Kendrick Lamar

Undoubtedly, the man to watch is Kendrick Lamar. Fresh off several wins, the 2024 BET Awards could see K-Dot aiming for the triple. With nine nods in the category, he’s the fourth nominated rapper after Drake, J. Cole, and Jay-Z. However, with six wins, he proudly wears the crown. Maybe he will extend his record to seven this year.

Lil Wayne

A legacy act, Lil Wayne picked up his first and only win for Best Male Hip Hop Artist in 2009. He hasn’t been nominated since 2012, but after a greatest hits album, a mixtape, and a collaborative album with 2 Chainz, it’s no surprise that the icon has received his dues. Lil Wayne blessed his fans with lots of new music last year, and the anticipation for Tha Carter VI has only grown since.

Angel Reese Is Hip-Hop’s Favorite WNBA Rookie

May 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A month after being drafted with the seventh overall pick to the Chicago Sky, Angel Reese is living her best life. The WNBA rookie has become hip-hop’s favorite of the 2024 draft class, receiving support from Latto, who sat courtside for Reese’s debut game, Megan Thee Stallion, and GloRilla, joining the latter two on stage during the Chicago stop of their Hot Girl Summer Tour over this past weekend. This was, of course, after being featured in Latto’s “Put In Da Floor Again” video with Cardi B after her junior season at LSU.

The love for Reese among rappers was noted by fans on X (RIP, Twitter.com), who pointed out how she has generated much more buzz among that demographic than many of her peers in this much-hyped WNBA rookie class.

I love how Angel Reese is being embraced by the rap girlies Megan Thee Stallion, GloRilla, AND Latto! It warms my heart! She deserves all the love she’s receiving!

Meanwhile, on-court, Reese has lived up to the billing, averaging 11.5 points, 8.5 rebounds, an assist and a steal over her first two games in the league (both against the Dallas Wings, splitting wins between the two teams). Reese also attended the Met Gala in New York when her team played there in the preseason, proving she has the versatility to look just as good off the court as she has on it.

Alfonso Ribeiro Reveals “The Fresh Prince” Ended His Acting Career

May 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Alfonso Ribeiro, star of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, has claimed that his acting career ended because of his work on the program. Played by Ribeiro, Carlton Banks was the politically conservative and nerdy cousin of Will, played by Will Smith. Carlton became an iconic TV character during Ribeiro’s time on the show. The comedy launched Will Smith’s acting career, which saw him become one of the biggest stars in the world. Ribeiro says the role hampered his ability to branch out, eventually shutting him out of acting.

In a candid interview with Closer Weekly, Ribeiro shared how his life took a different turn after his stint on the sitcom. He described his portrayal of Carlton Banks as a ‘sacrifice’ for his acting career, a role that often served as comic relief to Will’s larger-than-life character. Despite winning over fans with his standout performances and memorable moments, Ribeiro admitted to having some regrets about the role.

Alfonso Ribeiro Has Regrets About Playing Carlton

A post shared by HOLLYWOOD UNLOCKED (@hollywoodunlocked)

“Playing Carlton on ‘Fresh Prince’ became a sacrifice,” he said in a new interview. “I used to always say doing Carlton was the greatest and worst thing that ever happened to me.” He went on to say that his acting career was almost lost as a result of his “sacrifice.” He said, “It was one of the greatest roles that I ever was fortunate enough to play, but it was also the role that stopped me from acting again because people couldn’t see me as anything else.” As host of Dancing with the Stars, Alfonso may no longer be performing, but he is still having fun in front of the camera.

The Fresh Prince was an iconic sitcom. Carlton Banks is one of the most recognisable characters of the 90’s. It is understandable that Alfonso feels like the character has become too big, and Hollywood couldn’t see him as anything other than Carlton. The Fresh Prince showcased his range on a number of occasions. Ribeiro was always super talented, whether comedically or when he was showing off his dancing background. Overall, Alfonso Ribeiro will be remembered for Carlton despite the role costing him other opportunities.

May 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last year, Tyla seemingly became an R&B superstar overnight. It arrived on the back of her song “Water” which dropped last year and slowly crept up the Hot 100. Eventually the song became a total smash hit peaking at number 3 on the chart. The song has racked up more than 600 million streams on Spotify alone and even got a remix with Travis Scott late last year. She followed that up with her self-titled debut album earlier this year, for which she recruited a couple of high profile features.

Two of those features also showed up in her newest video for the song “Jump.” Gunna and Skillibeng both feature on the track, which has rocketed up to her second most-streamed song on Spotify. They’re also present in the video which is shot in a variety of locations within Tyla’s native Johannesburg. It also features shots of Skillibeng from his own hometown of Kingston, Jamaica. The video was directed by NABIL and has already racked up more than 600k views in just its first few hours while hitting YouTube’s trending page. Check out the new visuals she shared for “Jump” below.

Tyla Drops New Music Video For “Jump”

Earlier this year, Tyla canceled a world tour she had previously announced for 2024. In a statement released alongside the announcement of the cancelation. she cited health issues that prevented her from following through on the tour. Since then, however, that explanation has stuck with fans and they bring it up regularly. The R&B star has been spotted partying all over the world in recent months and doesn’t look particularly encumbered in her new music video. That’s led to some fans speculating that there could be alternate reasons for the tour’s canceling.
