Lil Yachty Savagely Roasts Kai Cenat For Trying To Start A Basketball Career

September 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kai Cenat is huge. He’s become one of the most popular streamers on the planet. As a result, he can kind of do whatever he wants. And what he wants to right now is play basketball. Cenat decided to help launch the Little Basketball Association, also known as the Little Ballers Association this past weekend. As the title suggests, the league is meant to give court time to the next generation of basketball talent. Kai Cenat has drawn praise for his decision to launch the league, but his burgeoning passion to play ball has led to some well-intentioned ribbing from Lil Yachty.

Lil Yachty attended an LBA game and was actually interviewed during the stream. The rapper made it clear that he respected what Kai Cenat has done. He went as far as to say that Cenat was an innovator when it came to making online content. “Man, I think he is so innovative,” Yachty asserted. “As far as like content creating. You can say what you want, you can hate, but who would’ve thought of this?” Boat then praised the streamer for taking time out to try to make a positive impact on kids’ lives. The interview took a turn, though, when the interviewer told Lil Yachty that Cenat ended his streaming career to pursue a career in basketball. As far as Yachty was concerned, that was a bad move.

“That took a lot of courage,” the rapper said. “[But] he should come out of retirement… cuse this ain’t a promising career.” He was asked what advice to give to Cenat if he was his coach, and he proceeded to get even more blunt. “Give up the ball more,” Lil Yachty asserted. “Cuse his shots ain’t going in.” All this is going on in a split screen stream where Cenat can be seen struggling on the court. The timing was pure coincidence, but it’s undeniably funny to watch lined up.

Kai Cenat officially announced his streaming retirement on September 22. “I’m quitting streaming and becoming a professional basketball player,” he wrote with no additional context. “Goodbye.” The tweet was followed up three days later with a video link and a promise that he will be going professional in the upcoming draft. The general reaction has been confusion, with many fans wondering if the streamer is merely trolling, or doing a bit for the sake of garnering more attention. We will know for sure in due time.

SOURCE SPORTS: Mets And Braves Split Doubleheader In Atlanta, Both Teams Play In October

September 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Before the start of the doubleheader at Truist Park against the Atlanta Braves, the Mets knew one thing; all they needed to win was ONE game to clinch a playoff spot. Both teams knew that whoever won the first game would have an advantage since they will have already planted their flag in the playoffs. Well, the Amazin’ Mets did not have any intention of losing game 161 of their regular season, edging the Braves 8-7, scoring their eight runs in the last two innings of the game and securing their Wild Card berth. Atlanta clapped back in Game 2, shutting out the Mets 3-0 and securing their Wild Card berth as well.

The 89th win of the year by the skin of their teeth is right on time for a team that was 11 games under .500 before June. The Mets seemed to be losing their grip on a playoff berth when Mets MVP Francisco Lindor was benched for a back injury, but he was in the lineup at the right time in Game 1, blasting a two-run shot off Pierce Johnson in the ninth inning. Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies almost foiled the spoil for the Mets in the eighth, belting a two-bagger with the bases loaded off Maton.

The Braves had no plans of being swept at home to cap the regular season, jumping in the lead in the first inning. The Braves didn’t allow the Mets to score one run thanks to Grant Holmes who posted up 4Ks on the mound for Atlanta in four innings and RHP Daysbel Hernandez, who took the win.

Below is the updated bracket for MLB postseason

The Mets will be back in Milwaukee to play the Brewers while the Braves will fly to San Diego to take on the Padres this week.

Texas police’s search for “All My Life” rapper Lil Reese is over.

According to TMZ, on September 17, an arrest warrant for a domestic incident was issued for Lil Reese (real name Tavares Taylor). Today (September 30), the outlet revealed Lil Reese was formally arrested and charged for aggravated assault of a family or household member.

Earlier in the month, Lil Reese was accused of assaulting his ex-girlfriend inside of Houston, Texas nightclub, The Pinkhouse. However, at the time of the alleged attacked, authorities were unable to take Lil Reese into custody. Since then, he was supposedly on the run well until yesterday.

Sources told TMZ that Lil Reese that was detained while at The Address, another popular hot spot in Houston. The same insider said officers were “already at the club,” as to suggest they weren’t called there specifically for Lil Reese but rather “caught wind” of his “presence.”

Photographs captured by onlookers show Lil Reese handcuffed at outside of a police cruiser.

Although witnesses of the allege altercation confidently claim it was indeed Lil Reese who supposedly punched and strangled his ex-girlfriend he maintains his innocence.

In a statement provided to TMZ, Lil Reese’s attorney Carl Moore addressed the alleged incident. “Mr. Taylor vehemently denies these false accusations,” he said. “We look forward to his day in court.”

Based on the arrest record obtained by TMZ, Lil Reese was denied bond.

Tee Grizzley Reveals Features And Release Date For New Album “Post Traumatic”

September 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tee Grizzley has got momentum right now. The rapper generated lots of excitement with his new single, “Blow for Blow,” and he’s striking while the iron is hot. He took to social media on September 30 to reveal that his new album, Post Traumatic, is done. Not only that, but the highly-anticipated album will actually be dropping on Friday, October 4. Tee Grizzley went a step further with his announcement by revealing which artists are slated to appear on the album alongside him.

The one feature everybody knows is coming is J. Cole. The Dreamville founder stole the show on Tee Grizzley’s lead single, “Blow for Blow.” His verse is an absolute head spinner, and proves that Grizzley can get lyrical with the absolute best of them. J. Cole and Grizzley even dropped a music video, which you can check out here. The rest of the features on Post Traumatic, however, are just as exciting. Tee went out and snagged collaborations with a varied batch of artists, including G Herbo, YTB Fatt, and Future. There will also be guest appearances from stars like Hunxho, Tink, Fridayy, Baby Grizzley and Mariah the Scientist.

Tee Grizzley’s Album Is Dropping On October 4

That is a lot of talent for one album. Tee Grizzley talked about the collaborative process for his new album during a recent interview with Complex. He told the outlet that he initially linked up with J. Cole when the latter was touring with Drake. He wanted to make sure they found the perfect instrumental to link up, and “Blow for Blow” proved to be it. “Once we found it, bro, I just knew it was the one,” Grizzley recalled. “And I know that Cole is super talented.” Tee Grizzley also talked about the unique experience of working with Future in the studio.

Tee Grizzley told Complex that Future was full of musical ideas, and could seemingly riff for hours on end. This was a direct contrast to the working methodology of most artists that Grizzley had worked with prior. “What surprised me is he don’t run out,” the rapper explained. “A lot of people be like, ‘All right, it’s time to go.’ He could go. Nothing else really surprised me, I knew it was going to be a great experience. I look at Future as one of the greats.” We can’t wait to hear the album, and how Tee Grizzley sounds next to his impressive roster of features.

Kevin Hart Shuts Down Reporter Who Asks Him About Diddy Connection

September 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kevin Hart has had controversies throughout his career, but he remains as viable a brand as ever. He’s one of the most successful comedians in the world, and is known to rub shoulders with just about every other big name in Hollywood. When it came to one big name in particular, though, Kevin Hart decided not to separate himself. The comedian was approached by a Daily Mail reporter and asked whether he had any affiliation with Diddy. He immediately shut down this line of questioning.

Kevin Hart was out and about with his wife in West Hollywood. The reporter approached him on the street and asked him to weigh in on the Diddy situation. In particular, his involvement in Diddy’s infamous parties. Daily Mail asked Hart whether he recalled seeing baby oil bottles at any of the parties he went to. This, of course, being a reference to the fact that over 1,000 bottles of baby oil were found at Diddy’s home. There was also an implication that Hart hosted some of these parties, which is not something the comedian appreciated. “When I hosted for Diddy?,” he fired back. “You’re asking the wrong person the wrong question.”

Kevin Hart Said He Was The ‘Wrong Person’ To Give Answers

The interaction didn’t stop there, though. The reporter asked whether Kevin Hart feared for Diddy’s life behind bars, and whether he felt the mogul was safe. Once again, the comedian avoided taking the bait. “Wrong person,” he asserted. “Wrong question.” He then walked away with his wife and his bodyguard in tow. The Daily Mail interaction takes place after footage of Hart seemingly partying with Diddy surfaced online. According to Radar Online, one video sees Kevin Hart hold a microphone and address the camera while a woman in a bikini is in the bathtub next to him.

The woman’s hair catches on fire after getting caught on a candle next to the bathtub, and Hart attempts to make light of the situation with a few jokes. Another video, which made the social media rounds earlier in the year, saw Kevin Hart interview Diddy and Usher in a bedroom. Diddy makes some suspect remarks about Usher, who was ten years old when he was taken under the mogul’s wing. Hart displays discomfort over the remarks and tries to gloss over them before changing the subject.

Jacquees Shuts Down Rumor That He Got Beaten Up By Trey Songz

September 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jacquees and Trey Songz haven’t always had the best relationship. Despite working in the same genre, and catering to the same fan base, the two men have often had disagreements. Jacquees boldly called Trey Songz a “rapist” during a heated IG video February. The video came on the heels of an alleged fight between Jacquees and Songz at a night club. The former decided to expand on what happened during a recent appearance on the Off the Record podcast. He was less heated, but he maintained that he did not lose the fight in question.

Jacquees told DJ Akademiks that he actually has love for Trey Songz, and does not hold any grudges towards the R&B singer despite their past issues. “Trey Songz is my brother I love him to life,” he stated. “I don’t say I love you to death because that means you love them until they die.” The R&B singer added that he was frustrated by the physical confrontation they had, and simply vented his frustrations online without thinking. “We got into a fight, I went online bro because I was hurt,” he asserted. “That was our first fight and I was really hurt because I’ve been around Trey since I was 15-16 and I never expected us to fight physically.”

Jacquees Claims That He Won The Trey Songz Fight

DJ Akademiks decided to take the conversation into a slightly more sensationalized direction. He asked whether Trey Songz won the fight, or if Jacquees got the best of him. Jacquees was initially hesitant to provide details, noting that he did not want to fight to begin with. “Verbally is different than a physical fight,” he noted. Akademiks pushed for a direct answer, and Jacquees eventually gave it to him. “I won,” he said. “I won the fight.” To add insult to injury, Jacquees claimed that Trey Songz tried to pull his hair during their fight. “He pulled my hair,” the singer asserted. “[But] he didn’t beat the dreads out of sh*t.”

In an effort to downplay the fight, however, Jacquees claimed that the virality of the situation was his own doing. “That was a family fight,” he noted. “It should’ve never got public…. I put the family on blast. You never put the family on blast.” DJ Akademiks tried to push once more, and ask whether the decision to fight Songz stemmed from a Napoleon complex, but Jacquees refused to take the bait. He remained steadfast in the fact that he handled himself and apologized for what he felt he did wrong.

Hunxho Appears To Address Keyshia Cole Dating Rumors In New Song

September 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Hunxho and Kesyhia Cole don’t appear to have much in common on the surface. One is a rapper who has made a name for himself in the last few years. The other is an R&B singer who established herself as a star in the 2000s. And yet, Hunxho and Cole can’t seem to stay away from one another. In their private lives and in the headlines they’ve been making as of late. The artists sparked dating rumors back in April when they were pictured holding hands at a club in Atlanta. Now, it appears Hunxho has alluded to his relationship with Cole in song.

Hunxho released the song “Part of the Plan” on September 30. There’s no mention of Keyshia Cole by name, but the lyrics clearly alluded to a relationship with an older woman. “If she’s older than my age does that mean we can’t date,” he spits. “Is that the law? I’ve never seen so many people judge.” The significant gap in age between Hunxho and Cole is something that has been a consistent talking point since they were first romantically linked. The former is 26, while the latter is 42. Both have come under fire for this, and the constant speculation as to whether Hunxho is seeing other woman on the side has not helped relieve the scrutiny.

Hunxho Reflects On Dating A Woman Older Than Him

In May, fans began to question whether Hunxho was cheating on Keyshia Cole with Gloss Up. Photos from a music video shoot in which Hunxho and Gloss Up looked particularly flirty. Cole then took to social media to clarify that it was simply for the sake of the video, though. The fact that the singer spoke on the matter, despite it being a Hunxho situation, served as confirmation to many that they were an item. “The way the shade room is running with fake narrative,” she wrote on her IG Story. “Like these ain’t pics from a video shoot.”

More recently, Keyshia Cole was seen wearing Hunxho’s chain while out at a club. Hunxho is not the first celebrity that Cole has been romantically linked to, though, so she knows what it’s like to deal with drama on a mass level. She was previously linked to Cash Money boss Birdman, basketball player Daniel Gibson and former football player Antonio Brown. AB has tried to make waves by suggesting Hunxho has been unfaithful, and rapper Lil Scrappy suggested that Hunxho and Cole’s relationship is actually a publicity stunt. Hopefully these two catch a break at some point.
