Lil Wayne Performing At Super Bowl LIX Would Be A “Big Mistake,” Art Director Argues

September 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Art Director Shaun Harrison says it’d be the “biggest mistake ever” to have Lil Wayne headline the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show. Claiming to have “worked with” Wayne before on a Grammy performance in the past, he explained why he feels the hometown artist would be the wrong choice in a post on social media. The take comes after the NFL announced Kendrick Lamar will be headlining the event on Sunday.

“I’ve ‘worked with’ Lil Wayne before for Grammy performance and personal feelings that would be the biggest mistake ever putting him as the headliner for the biggest performance of the year The Super Bowl,” Harrison wrote. “He showed up to zero rehearsals we didn’t even think he would make the performance then last minute he was in the building and ran on stage for the performance and ran off back into oblivion lol. Never even got to meet him after week of rehearsals for a show. Kendrick Lamar is one of the greatest rap performers ever and unapologetically black in his message and it’s during black history month, it’s going to be a spectacle!” In a follow-up post on his Instagram Story, Harrison further argued: “Not to mention Dr. Dre is the only to be from the state the Super Bowl is in… so the argument is moot, that’s never been a prerequisite.”

Since the NFL announced that Lamar will be headlining the event, fans on social media have been calling for Wayne to at least make an appearance during the show. Even Master P came out and said he deserves to be recognized. “As Ambassador of Entertainment in the City of New Orleans I have to agree with the fans that Lil Wayne should be a part of this celebration as well,” he wrote online. “He’s one of the greatest Hip Hop artists alive, still relevant and he’s a New Orleans native. Let’s not miss this cultural moment in the South. Life is too short! We have to give our legends their flowers while they are here. #Godisgood Change starts with us.”

Diamond The Body Apologizes To Tesehki After Getting Her Tooth Knocked Out

September 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

For the Baddies fans out there, you know that things can get messy real quick. One recent fight in the reality TV show’s orbit got particularly bloody, as Tesehki allegedly knocked out Diamond The Body’s tooth at the franchise’s reunion. This followed a whole lot of social media clowning and fights which even escalated into a boxing challenge that is more ironic in hindsight than anything. The gloves really did come off, huh? Nevertheless, it seems like Diamond regrets what happened here, as she recently took to Instagram to bury the hatchet.

“Just because I didn’t mean any harm in anything I said online and because it was all jokes to me doesn’t mean it wasn’t received with harm,” Diamond’s apology to Chrisean Rock’s sister and others began. “I can’t determine how someone took in wat I said or how it made them feel … so for that I have to take accountability.. sorry to everyone that I’ve trolled on a tv show or online after a tv show !! I can always admit when I’m wrong !!

Diamond The Body’s Apology To Tesehki

“Sorry Nat sorry seki and anyone else I put in my ‘hitlist,’” Diamond continued. “I’m not built for this my hear too big hope we can all put it past us and move on [red heart emoji]. And to be clear I [do] not want to come back to Zeus. I appreciate the platform they put me on to reach the people that I have reached. I’m forever grateful to Zeus Network I did wat needed to be done. I got the clout I was looking for now yall stream my music.” Then, Tesehki seemed to reply to this message on Instagram with a somewhat surprising comment: “I accept your apology.”

Meanwhile, Natalie Nunn had posed with Diamond’s tooth after the Tesehki fight to mock her. “What happened to the pose for me post,” she mockingly captioned her video with the tooth. “Hahahaha diamond the body your amazing but your dentist sucks [three laughing-crying emojis] ur teeth was falling out left and right !! [three crying emojis] u just had a whole video up what happened ??? It’s down now ?? Please stay tuned baddie’s Caribbean.”

Reginae Carter Stirs The Pot Further Amid Lil Wayne-Kendrick Lamar Super Bowl Debate

September 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

There continues to be a lot of arm wrestling over who deserves this upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show performance more. With the 59th game being in New Orleans, Louisiana for now the eleventh time (third this century), fans of Weezy are furious and want answers as to why he was “robbed” once again. In fact, even other artists in hip-hop are hoping that Kendrick Lamar will do everyone a favor and bring out Lil Wayne. However, there are still quite a lot of big names backing the kid from Compton, especially the man who was responsible for selecting him.

“Kendrick Lamar is truly a once-in-a-generation artist and performer,” Jay-Z said. “His deep love for hip-hop and culture informs his artistic vision. He has an unparalleled ability to define and influence culture globally. Kendrick’s work transcends music, and his impact will be felt for years to come”. Overall, Hov makes a lot of great points, and with the year that he’s having and the potential for a new album coming soon, it was a pretty safe and reasonable pick. However, this is not going to stop the Wayne supporters from dubbing this as a massive injustice.

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

Perhaps the MCs biggest fan, –eldest child and only daughter– Reginae Carter, certainly feels that same way. In a vague and timely tweet, the model and entrepreneur simply stated that “They envy greatness !!!!”. However, not many people in The Neighborhood Talk comment section are feeling this response to her father not being selected. Instead, its gotten her tons of backlash from fans of Lamar. “The Kendrick hate is hilarious dawg. That man is an artist in every way possible now nobody likes him out of nowhere ”, one user writes back. “The Super Bowl has been in Louisiana 10 times…Why didn’t yall call for Lil Wayne in any of those other games? Because yall hating on Kendrick…& Newsflash they don’t pick the artist in connection with where the game is played…Dr Dre was a special case”.

There’s a good chance that this debate continues for a long time, so be sure to stick around for any updates. What are your thoughts on Reginae Carter’s tweet during the Lil Wayne-Kendrick Lamar Super Bowl debate? Do you think that JAY-Z and Roc Nation made the right choice, why or why not? Is the disdain for Kendrick right now valid or unjustified? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Diddy Returns To Harlem With His Friends Amid Mounting Legal Battle

September 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s movement amid his various lawsuits and accusations of misconduct is a very tough code to crack. Of course, he has to be very careful with where he goes and he probably isn’t in any rush to interact much with people who might harass or chastise him publicly. But Sean Combs’ very minimal public moves and sightings for almost a year now might change soon. After putting his infamously raided Los Angeles mansion up for sale, he returned to his birthplace of Harlem, New York. There, the Bad Boy mogul linked up with some friends, which we’re sure was a heartening affair.

Elsewhere, one of Diddy’s accuser’s lawyers recently responded to his team’s motion to dismiss the case. “At this time, the plaintiff seeks leave of the court to amend its complaint to withdraw the negligent infliction of emotional distress claim against corporate defendants and to add additional facts to remedy the issues in the pleading identified by the defendants in their respective motions to dismiss,” Tyrone Blackburn stated as a legal representative of April Lampros.

“[Diddy and Bad Boy Records’] counsels attach themselves to a single sentence of an opinion of an unrelated case to try and classify the plaintiff’s pleading as ‘salacious’ or meritless with the sole intent of forcing defendants to ‘settle,’” Blackburn continued. “For starters, plaintiff never requested a settlement from defendants [Diddy] and [Bad Boy Records]. The plaintiff intends to hold [Diddy] and [Bad Boy] accountable for their actions before a jury of their peers.

“Secondly, although this writer picks his clients, he does not pick their facts,” Blackburn concluded. “If [Diddy] had not engaged in salacious criminal behavior, this writer would not have had anything salacious to file. [Diddy’s] counsels should spend their time teaching him lessons he clearly missed growing up as a child: 1. No means no, and 2. men should never put their hands (or feet) on women.” We’ll see what other updates emerge in this legal saga. In the meantime, it looks like Puff Daddy can still enjoy life and connect with the outside world… Even if what’s allegedly going on beneath might lead to him losing it all.

Hurricane Chris Reignites 50 Cent Feud During Heated Debate With DJ Vlad

September 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Hurricane Chris says he’s a better rapper than 50 Cent and can put together a much better performance than him in Shreveport, Louisiana. He shared his hot take during an interview with DJ Vlad published over the weekend. It comes after he and 50 feuded over the Humor & Harmony Festival, earlier this year.

“You [50 Cent] cannot out rap me. You do not make better music than me right now,” he said. When Vlad referenced Get Rich or Die Tryin’ and labeled it a “classic,” Chris admitted it was a great project, but didn’t move from his stance. “Song making, he don’t make better songs than me,” he countered. “If 50 was to make a song right now and I make a song right now I’mma smash that s**t. I make music way better than 50 Cent. I know it’s a fact.”

From there, Chris brought up the idea of performing in Shreveport. “If we were to perform in Shreveport, I perform way longer than 50 and I would rock that s**t way harder than 50 or anybody who f**king came to Shreveport because I go back since I was 15 years old in high school,” he said. Chris recently feuded with 50 over his Humor & Harmony Festival, which took place in Shreveport. Chris was upset that 50 didn’t platform enough local artists despite using his hometown with no connection to it. In turn, he labeled him a “culture vulture.”

Hurricane Chris Speaks On 50 Cent

50 eventually fired back by suggesting the “A Bay Bay” rapper is a one-hit-wonder, sparking a back-and-forth on social media. Eventually, Chris admitted that the two were done beefing. Check out Chris’ latest comments on 50 Cent on YouTube below. Be on the lookout for further updates on Hurricane Chris and 50 Cent on HotNewHipHop.

Russell Simmons Demands Kimora Lee To Reveal Her Text Messages In Court

September 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Russell Simmons is not letting up in his lawsuit against his ex-wife Kimora Lee, putting a lot of pressure for her and her team. Moreover, he recently motioned a demand for her to reveal private text message information and appear in federal court for a deposition. For those unaware, the disgraced music mogul sued Lee for allegedly using shares that he had a stake in to bail her ex-husband Tim Leissner out. As such, he claims that texts between the former couple, as well as between her and her financial advisors, will prove his case. Overall, it’s a very contentious and combative situation.

On the other hand, Kimora Lee Simmons denies Russell’s claims, alleging that she already proved she owns these shares through document provisions. In addition, her attorney characterized his requests and demands as “excessive and irrelevant,” according to the report below. While many folks have picked sides in this debacle between them, it’s clear that this is much more complicated than we initially believed. We don’t know how this demand for text message conversations will turn out, but we can imagine that this is far from the end of this part of the court case.

Elsewhere, Russell Simmons recently warned people who continue to attack his friends for supporting him amid his many sexual assault accusations. “I have never spoken to a policeman about anything,” he shared on social media. “I have never spoken to a judge, civil or criminal, about anything. From what I can tell, Joe Biden, Bill Clinton, President Trump, all have more credible claims against them than I do. Knock it off. I love you, I just don’t want my friends attacked. I wish you all the best, but just leave my friends alone. Don’t attack them for visiting me.”

Meanwhile, Kimora Lee recently spoke on her daughter with Russell Simmons’ age gap relationship. “I don’t think she ‘had’ an anything,” she told TMZ. “I think that was just… She’s a young pretty girl, and you know, I think that we don’t think that the toads that we may kiss [are] gonna be like broadcasted… I personally feel a little bit like she was set up, which is why I try to teach the girls.”

JAY-Z Speaks on Kendrick Lamar Headlining Super Bowl: ‘A Once-in-a-Generation Artist’

September 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kendrick Lamar will take center stage at the Apple Music Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show at The Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on February 9, 2025. Roc Nation, Apple Music, and the NFL made the announcement today, sparking excitement for the globally anticipated performance.

Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter, founder of Roc Nation, praised Lamar’s influence: “Kendrick Lamar is truly a once-in-a-generation artist and performer. His deep love for hip-hop and culture informs his artistic vision… His impact will be felt for years to come.”

Seth Dudowsky, Head of Music at the NFL, echoed this sentiment, saying, “Few artists have impacted music and culture as profoundly as Kendrick Lamar… Kendrick has proven his unique ability to craft moments that resonate, redefine, and ultimately shake the very foundation of hip-hop.”

Apple Music’s Oliver Schusser emphasized the excitement: “Apple is thrilled to bring this show, starring the absolutely incomparable Kendrick Lamar, to fans worldwide with Apple Music’s industry-leading Spatial Audio quality.”

Lamar, a Grammy and Emmy-winning artist and co-founder of pgLang, continues to redefine hip-hop, earning accolades like a Pulitzer Prize for his 2017 album DAMN. and his chart-topping collaborations earlier this year.

Lamar’s Super Bowl performance will be creatively directed by pgLang and produced by DPS, with Roc Nation’s Jesse Collins as executive producer and Hamish Hamilton as director.

Apple Music’s ongoing partnership with the NFL and Roc Nation has already produced record-breaking halftime shows, and with Kendrick Lamar at the helm, this year’s performance is set to be another groundbreaking moment in Super Bowl history.
