Vince Staples Announces “Black In America” Tour

June 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Vince Staples is fresh off the release of his new album Dark Times. The project lives up to both its name and its bleak album cover by taking on serious subject matter throughout. The record is surprisingly soulful given the kinds of topics it dabbles in. The record has been met with acclaim from both fans and critics alike in the wake of its release so its unsurprising that he’s already announced plans to take the project on tour.

Earlier today Vince announced the “Black In America” tour. Later this year starting in October and running into November Vince will play a number of tour dates across North America. He’s hitting up 11 different cities across his new show, many of which feature Baby Rose as the opener. Baby Rose is fresh off of her new Slow Burn EP, a collaboration with jazz outfit BADBADNOTGOOD. Pre-sale for tickets gets under way tomorrow with the full sale starting later this week on Friday. Check out the tour announcement he shared below.

[WATCH] Lil Durk Says It’s His “Number One Goal” To End Gun Violence In Chicago

June 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In a recent interview with Big Facts Podcast, Chicago rap star Lil Durk says he’s all in when it comes to ending gun violence in his hometown.

Big Facts co-host Big Bank asked him what he would do if he could “clean the streets of Chicago up” and Durk responded, “That’s the number one goal, to stop it,” he said. “But, the number one priority for us in the streets and politician-wise, is to stop the violence and slow it down as much as possible. It starts with everybody just coming together.”

The “All My Life” rapper admits that the task is easier said than done.,

“But, like I said, it’s hard because you probably got him other here thinking he that, but his young n****s don’t even respect him,” Durk said. “So, even if he be like, ‘Come on. Let’s come together.’ They’d look at him like, ‘Get the fuck on.’”

Earlier this year, Durk announced on social media that he would be organizing his Smurkchella concert, which would be aimed at combating gun violence.

“I’ma do a Smurkchella next year at the bears stadium in Chicago,” he wrote. “it’s gone be a stop the violence event and we gone split half the money with different non profits from big to small. I need help I need every artist who locked in with me to help save these kids.”

He then tagged his own non-profit organization and added, “@neighborhoodheroesfoundation will help put it together let’s go this my way of giving back without saying it to look cool.”

Lil Durk launched his Neighborhood Heroes non-profit organization in 2020 and has been steadily giving back to his community in the years that followed.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJi4hdQVBCA

Cam’ron Trolled Anthony Edwards In A Freestyle After Being Shaded In His Adidas Commercial

June 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cam’ron and Mase’s It Is What It Is podcast has taken its fair share of shots at various athletes over the years, particularly NBA players like Jordan Poole and now, Anthony Edwards. Cam’ron targeted the latter with a few lines in a freestyle over the beat from Black Rob’s hit single “Whoa!” to open the latest episode.

Decked out in a Dallas Mavericks jersey (heh), Cam goes in on the 22-year-old NBA star, rapping, “Go ‘head and grandstand, no style can cramp Cam’s / P**** on a handstand, but f*ck wrong with Ant Man? / Gave him his props, homie got love from me / New commercial, y’all ain’t got love for me? / He shot a jump shot and said, ‘f*ck buddy’ / The receipt reader lookin’ like your f*ck buddy.”

So, what’s got Cam’s knickers in a twist? It seems Ant’s Adidas ad rubbed him the wrong way with its use of one of Cam’s tweets to make a point about Ant proving his haters wrong. The ad includes a printer for Edwards’ “receipts,” which spits out tweets from various celebrities questioning whether the young Minnesota Timberwolves guard is ready to be “the face of the league.”

The tweets are read to Ant by a friend as he takes practice shots, and when he hears that Cam’ron says he’s “an All-Star, but not a superstar yet,” Ant indeed gives a dismissive response and chucks another jumper. The ad’s being celebrated for its simplicity and directness, but clearly, not everybody appreciates Ant’s unfiltered demeanor.

Anyone who’s spent any time around hoopers knows that many of them — especially the best — are crazy petty and take anything less than unadulterated adulation as the saltiest criticism, so his response isn’t exactly surprising. But for the past 25 years, Cam’ron has been an equally petty performer in his own industry, so his response shouldn’t surprise anyone either.

But before anyone goes taking this super serious and demanding guns drawn at dawn, try to remember: it’s all in good fun. Talking sh*t is part of these guys’ livelihoods, so they both know there’s no ill intent. And if/when they see each other at the next All-Star Game, it’ll probably be all love.

You can watch Cam’s freestyle (and his explanation for the clap back) at the top of the episode above.

Kelis Blasts Nas Over His Alleged Debt To Her, Isn’t Interested In Reconciliation

June 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kelis is apparently not very forgiving of Nas despite their romantic history, and maybe she shouldn’t be if he really does owe her money as she claims. Moreover, she responded to some Instagram comments involving the New York rapper, making it clear that she’s not interested in burying the hatchet. “NAS & Kelis y’all need to double back, give love another chance. Blessings,” one fan wrote. “Stop, it was 15 years ago. Do you want your ex from almost 2 decades ago?” the singer-songwriter and chef clapped back. Then, in another comment, she made the specific claim about Esco owing her money.

“Give Nas his bread back,” another user commented to Kelis. “Lol he owes me actually, get outa her [sic] only a loser is worried about somebody else’s money lol please,” she retorted in her reply. Of course, the Manhattan native has a lot of other things to worry about apart from the money that Nas allegedly owes her. For example, she also got into it with the Beyhive back in 2022 due to Beyoncé sampling her on the RENAISSANCE cut “ENERGY,” which opened up the can of worms around her publishing rights once more.

Kelis Claims Nas Owes Her Money & Dismisses The Idea Of A Reconciliation

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

As for the Nas situation, it’s unclear whether Kelis is referring to some music industry-related dealings or the couple’s previous custody battle over their son. That was a pretty nasty back-and-forth in court, albeit one that seems mostly resolved at this point since not much else has come out about it. Hopefully things are at least clear and amicable behind the scenes and in the family dynamic even if some bad blood remains. If nothing else, it seems like she has more to say about what went down here, but chose not to get into it.

Meanwhile, their relationship ended on a serious and damning note as Kelis accused Nas of abuse, which he denied. This all went down years ago, and there’s no telling whether these Instagram comments will reopen parts of that conversation. However, it doesn’t seem like something they couldn’t resolve privately, so here’s hoping that goes well. After all, the Kaleidoscope artist faced a lot of hardships and injustices already in the game.

Brandon McManus Cut By Commanders Over Shocking Sexual Assault Allegations

June 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Commanders have dismissed Brandon McManus, a former Super Bowl champion who inked a lucrative free-agent contract with Washington in March after claims that he sexually assaulted two flight attendants last year. The women filed the case in Duval County, Florida, last month, alleging the following against the 32-year-old kicker. Jane Doe I and Jane Doe II claimed that McManus, the Jacksonville Jaguars’ player at the time, acted inappropriately toward them. They were working on a private aircraft that the team had scheduled for September 28, 2023, in the United Kingdom.

According to Doe I in the lawsuit, McManus allegedly repeatedly grinded on her, grabbed her on many occasions, and even attempted to kiss her once. According to her, none of the acts were consenting. Doe II said that on the same aircraft, McManus had behaved similarly toward her. In the lawsuit, each requested undisclosed damages. Nevertheless, the Commanders ousted McManus on Sunday without providing an explanation. However, earlier this week, they issued a statement on the lawsuit in which they stated that they “take allegations of this nature very seriously.”

Brandon McManus Cut Over Recent Sexual Assault Allegations

From Sunday: The #Commanders cut K Brandon McManus, who is being accused by two women of sexually assaulting them during a charter flight to London while with the #Jaguars. https://t.co/9PnXOYETCF

— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) June 3, 2024

The accusations were deemed “absolutely fictitious and demonstrably false” by Brandon McManus’s lawyer, Brett R. Gallaway, following their public release. Sunday night, Gallaway released a revised statement stating that they “are disappointed with the team’s decision to release Brandon before he had the opportunity to defend against these fabricated claims.” “Aggressively defend and clear Brandon’s name and reputation through the legal process,” he continued.

The victims have requested a jury trial. Additionally, they are suing the NFL player and the Jaguars for more than $1 million in damages. The Jaguars were named by women in their complaint as well for failing to provide a safe working environment for employees and to oversee McManus. In a statement, the Jaguars stated that they were “into the matter.” In 2014, McManus made his NFL debut with the Denver Broncos. Before signing with the Jaguars in 2023, he played for nine seasons in the Mile High City. He signed a one-year, $3.6 million contract earlier this year to start in 2024 with the Commanders.

Eminem’s new single “Houdini” is a career-spanning affair. The song samples some of his earlier work and promised a return to his Slim Shady days.

The track features numerous references to former collaborators and people who appeared in Em’s songs over the years. The music video is a feature-packed affair with appearances from Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, and comedian Pete Davidson.

Another group that pops up in the music video are Em’s three children.

Sean Kingston Arrives In Broward County Jail After Extradition To Florida

June 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Sean Kingston’s legal trouble over alleged fraud continues to develop, as authorities recently extradited him to his home state of Florida after his California arrest. Moreover, a Broward County jail booked him on $1 million fraud and theft charges following a raid on his Florida home that also saw an arrest for his mother, Janice Turner. According to NBC 6 South Florida, the singer will face a judge on Monday (June 3). It’s unclear whether or not he has already formally denied these accusations for the court process, although we know that he already addressed the situation on social media upon the raid of his house.

Furthermore, Sean Kingston faces an uphill battle right now in the legal sense, but that doesn’t mean that his career is slowing down suddenly. In fact, amid all this controversy and allegations that a court of law still hasn’t ruled on, we even got some new music to boot. He and NBA YoungBoy recently released their collaboration “Why Oh Why” despite both of them facing some serious struggles in their careers and personal lives. Hopefully they are both at least able to handle it transparently and with justice despite the verdict, as many innocents and guilty perpetrators alike can’t even get this luxury.

Sean Kingston Extradited To Broward County Jail

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

As far as the specific allegations themselves, Sean Kingston and his mother Janice Turner received eight serious charges of fraud and theft. Prosecuting authorities accused them of running a fraudulent scheme to take advantage of several entities and individuals, including a car dealership and a jeweler. However, Kingston also received two additional charges involving alleged bad checks and defrauding a bank. The amount of allegedly stolen money and goods totals over a million dollars.

Meanwhile, Janice Turner already posted a $160,000 bail while Sean Kingston is still in custody due to the recency of his extradition. It’s unclear whether he will be able to post bail as well or if he will have to stay behind bars. Either way, this looks like a very complicated situation for them that could even rope in others, depending on how big this supposed scheme is. We’ll see what else develops in court and whether this will be a footnote or a whole chapter in 2024’s musical history.
