YSL RICO Trial: Lil Woody Sends Young Thug Into Fit Of Laughter With Question About Rich Homie Quan

by

Lil Woody sent Young Thug into a fit of laughter during the latest hearing in the YSL RICO trial after responding to a question about Rich Homie Quan. In a viral clip of the moment, Woody responds facetiously to a question about Thug having Rich Homie Quan over. “Thug, did you have an issue with Rich Homie?’ Woody asks Thug, before turning back to the prosecutor. “I’m answering you. I just told you several times.” As the camera pans over the Thug, he’s breaking into laughter.

As the clip circulated on social media, fans joined Thug in the laughter. “Is this the only witness they got [laughing emojis]. I know they did not base their whole case on him,” one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Another joked: “He the starting point guard that just. Got a max deal for this case and he foldin the franchise.” One more wrote: “No one is taking this case serious anymore. Almost everyone in the room was holding back laughing.”

Opening statements are set to begin in the case against 31-year-old US rapper Young Thug and 28 others, who are facing a racketeering indictment accusing the defendants of a number of offenses that support an overarching conspiracy charge, including murder, assault, carjacking, drug dealing, and theft.

Tuesday marked Woody’s 16th day on the stand as one of the state’s star witnesses in the case. He previously made headlines by admitting to having lied about Young Thug back in 2015 to help himself out of legal trouble. “The police kept locking me up for whatever they could,” he said. “Every time I counted the door, the police was on me, and they keep bringing up Thug’s name. So what I did was to get ’em out off me, I said, ‘Thug did this. Thug did that. Thug,’ because I knew they were—I knew he didn’t do it.”

Lil Woody’s Antics Continue In YSL RICO Trial

It’s not the only viral moment from Woody’s testimony either. He’s also fired his lawyer on the stand, tried to bait Thug’s attorney, Brian Steel, into saying the n-word, and more. Be on the lookout for further updates on Lil Woody and the YSL RICO trial on HotNewHipHop.

Ice Spice’s Father Responds To Cleotrapa’s Claims That He’s Hispanic & Not Nigerian

by

All day and even going back to the wee hours of the night before, rappers Ice Spice and Cleotrapa have been airing out their dirty laundry on X. This all started because of the latter claiming to have received awful treatment while being on the roster for the Y2K! tour. Both have been making wild statements about each other and currently, Cleo has the last word. Just moments ago, she called out the “Phat Butt” MC for lying about her dad’s nationality, saying that he’s actually Hispanic. Fans have had differing opinions on this tweet, but the artist’s father is making sure that his words come across as clear as possible.

According to The Neighborhood Talk, Joseph Gaston wants to make it known right away that he doesn’t want any part of this. While doing so he sets the record straight and essentially tells Cleo to zip it. “@iamcleotrapa we met twice in the green room. We barely spoke, who said I’m Hispanic?”, he began. “Ken I’m gonna dead this right here. I’m a black man. Born and raised in the BX. Keep me out this bulls***”. What’s even wilder, some people were asking for proof and he said that he’s taken an ancestry test to confirm all of this in the past.

“More like 30% and a mix of other countries like Ghana, ivory coast, Senegal, Mali, Cameroon. Taino.” That was a response to someone who said he was even less Nigerian that. However, he doesn’t appear to be taking offense to any of this as he says he does have Latino family members. In one breath, Cleo was correct, but nowhere near 100%, kind of like some other things she claimed earlier today.

What are your thoughts on Ice Spice’s father’s response to Cleotrapa’s accusations that he’s actually Hispanic? Who do you think these two will bring into their feud next? Who is currently taking this way too far the most so far and why? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Ice Spice and Cleotrapa. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Lil Wayne Is Bringing Back His Lil Weezyana Fest With Rob49 And A Hot Boys Reunion

by

Fresh off collaborations with Cordae, DJ Premier, and Jessie Reyez, Lil Wayne has announced the dates and lineup for the return of his music festival, Lil Weezyana Fest, after taking 2023 off.

The Lil Weezyana Festival returns to Smoothie King Center arena on November 2, with performances from Rob49 and Lil Wayne’s former group, Hot Boys. The Hot Boys performance will be the first time the quartet of B.G, Juvenile, Lil Wayne, and Turk have performed as a group since 2003. A reunion of the group was billed for Essence Fest this year, but Wayne ended up performing his own, separate set, to fans’ confusion and chagrin.

The group was disbanded after Juvenile and B.G accused Cash Money Records CEO Birdman of not paying them. Three of the group’s members, B.G, Turk, and Wayne, then spent significant time serving prison sentences for various offenses — mostly surrounding firearms possession charges. Turk was released from prison in October 2012 after serving nine years for being a felon in possession of a firearm and other charges; B.G served 11 years on possession of a firearm and was released last year; Lil Wayne spent the least amount of time in prison for possession and has been the most active member of the group musically since 2011. Juvenile remains the only member who was never incarcerated.

In addition to the Hot Boys reunion, the flyer for Lil Weezyana Fest touts a DJ set from former Cash Money producer Mannie Fresh, as well as “surprise guests,” which have, in the past, included Drake — who could use a strong bounce back after his early 2024 struggles with Kendrick Lamar.

Blueface’s Dad Celebrates Chrisean Jr.’s 1st Birthday And The Internet Has A Field Day

by

Blueface and Chrisean Rock have been going through turbulent times in their lives. Both are currently behind bars in separate states for different crimes. The latter is in Oklahoma on a fugitive warrant and could face up to eight years in prison. For the former, he’s going to be locked up for four years thanks to him going against the terms of his probation. Because of their legal troubles, they are unfortunately missing out on a personal milestone. However, Blueface’s dad is stepping up, at least he thinks.

According to The Shade Room and posts from Johnathan Porter Sr.’s Instagram, he’s celebrating the rappers’ son. Chrisean Jr., turning one. The reason we say he feels that he’s helping is because others do not, including Karlissa Saffold and many others. She and almost the entire internet feels he’s only appearing to show love to Chrisean Jr. for clout. If you remember, there was video evidence of Johnathan Porter Sr. deflecting any sort of responsibility to help to take care of the baby boy. After tons of arguing between Saffold and Blueface’s dad, Chrisean’s close friend currently is caring for the child.

It’s why all of these posts, such as showing off all the gifts from family and friends on social media, feels inauthentic. However, Mr. Porter didn’t stop there. He also shared a montage of several loved ones sending birthday wishes to Chrisean Jr, as well as where he says he “got a chance to speak with jr.”. He also added that Blueface and Chrisean were going to “be very surprised with his progression that he has made”. People online were quick to troll Mr. Porter, saying things like, “That baby aint spoke to you bout nothing”. “HOW HE TOLD YOU THAT SIR 😂”. Overall, he made a great effort, but it seems like no one’s going to buy any sort of support he tries to show from now on.

Tyrese “Officially Retires” From Social Media After Hot Take About Masculinity

by

Tyrese says he’s quitting social media for good after going on a lengthy rant about masculinity and men’s mental health on Instagram. To do so, he shared a video of himself breaking into tears on the red carpet for the premiere of his new film, 1992, in which he stars alongside the late Ray Liotta.

“I’m officially retired from social media,” he began. “I’m gonna go dark, I’m gonna pray, I’m gonna turn my comments off because I don’t want to be reminded of this very nasty and unbearable narrative that REAL MEN don’t cry. And if and when a man has a child on the way with that beautiful woman or fiancé or wife, and she ultimately has a miscarriage [I thank God I’ve never experienced this ] the only person who is depressed sad or even suicidal over that loss is NOT JUST the woman.”

From there, he continued: “REAL MEN these days are constantly being emasculated and someone has said lately even have the nerve to put the word TOXIC in front of MASCULINITY.. yes, the epic failure of trying to make me feel bad about literally being A MAN, an APLHA MALE, protective or OUTspoken FATHER or HEAD of my HOUSEHOLD.” He also brought up a relationship with an ex and the role men play in parenting. He ended the post by revealing that the soundtrack is available on streaming now and told fans to check out his latest project, Beautiful Pain.

Tyrese Argues That “Real Men” Cry

In 1992, Tyrese plays a character by the name of Mercer, who looks to restore his relationship with his son. It takes place following the Rodney King verdict. Check out Tyrese’s full comments on the 1992 premiere below. Be on the lookout for further updates on Tyrese on HotNewHipHop.

Cleo addressed the situation in a comment on social media, responding to a fan who argued Spice lied about her father being Nigerian. “Her father is an Hispanic man.

Another countered: “Like this if you don’t have to prove your blackness 24/7.” One accused Cleo of “going out BAD!” They continued: “this why you need a NDA these women will tell all you business out once they don’t get their way ., EMBARRASSING.”

Cleo came out with her accusations about mistreatment on the tour on Monday, claiming she was denied food, not allowed to bring guests backstage, and forced to prepare in bathrooms, among other complaints. In response, Spice accused her of “crashing out” while her manager argued that the misunderstanding boiled down to Cleo’s team setting unrealistic expectations. “If another bigger artist hit my client & say come on tour w/ her or him w/one day to prepared. As the manager I would advise my client this is risky, I would then connect w/ the other artist’s mgmt & agent immediately to advance logistics to see if it makes sense. To avoid hiccups,” he wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
