Pras’ Fails To Earn Retrial In Political Conspiracy Case After AI Scandal

by

Pras Michel’s attempt to get a retrial due to his lawyer’s actions during his political conspiracy case was unsuccessful. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly decided that his defense attorney using generative AI for his closing arguments wasn’t enough to warrant a serious miscarriage of justice. The AI program notably attributed lyrics from Diddy’s song, “I’ll Be Missing You,” to Michel, among other errors. Despite this, Kollar-Kotelly didn’t feel the mistakes were enough to impact the jury’s ruling.

“Michel does not explain how this mistake—the mistaken attribution of a Puff Daddy song in the closing argument—resulted in prejudice. Specifically, Michel has not shown that there is a reasonable probability that the result of his trial would have differed had Kenner correctly attributed a lyric to him,” Kollar-Kotelly said, as caught by AllHipHop. “Notably, the content derived from the AI program did not relate to any evidence in the case, only general sympathetic statements and one lyrical quote.”

Pras Arrives At His Trial In Washington D.C.

WASHINGTON, DC – MARCH 31: Pras Michel, a member of the 1990’s hip-hop group the Fugees, arrives at U.S. District Court on March 31, 2023 in Washington, DC. Michel is on trial for his alleged participation in a campaign finance conspiracy. (Photo by Kevin Dietsch/Getty Images)

The jury in the trial found Michel guilty on a total of 10 counts. They include conspiracy and acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign government. The prosecution accused him of funneling money from Malaysian financer Jho Low into influencing various United States government actions. He allegedly pumped money into Barack Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign as well as influencing an extradition case on behalf of China during Donald Trump’s presidency.

The judge didn’t set a date for Pras’ sentencing, but he’s currently out of jail until that happens. He recently made headlines for dropping a Lauryn Hill diss track after the Fugees canceled several tour dates. Be on the lookout for further updates on Pras Michel on HotNewHipHop.

DDG & Halle Bailey React To Halo Becoming A Hilarious Meme

by

At the end of last year, Halle Bailey and DDG welcomed their first child, a son named Halo. The baby arrived amid rampant pregnancy rumors, which both of them continuously denied. Since Halo’s birth, they’ve been providing fans with countless fun updates on their journey as parents. Recently, for example, one of them shared an adorable clip of him on what appears to be a train ride at the mall for kids.

He looked incredibly unsure of the situation, which social media users quickly took and ran with. It’s now a meme going viral on TikTok, as users add their own captions to the clip for hilarious results. “Me lookin at the [ninja emoji] who decided to sit by me when it’s 100 empty seats,” one of them reads. “Me looking at my bank account after a spending spree,” another says.

DDG Wonders Who Is Behind Halo Meme

Of course, it didn’t take very long for Halo’s parents to catch on, and DDG didn’t waste any time before taking to Twitter/X to weigh in. “Who made my son into a meme,” he asked alongside a series of laughing emojis before posting one of them on his page. “My son more lit than me, i love it,” he added. As for Bailey, she simply shared one of them on X with a crying laughing emoji.

This isn’t the first time Halo’s made headlines as of late, however. Back in July, he got his first lineup at just six months old. Social media users were quick to call DDG out for allowing this, arguing that it could impact his hairline. He made it clear he was unfazed by the criticism, however, urging haters to “worry ’bout your own kids.” What do you think of Halle Bailey and DDG’s son Halo becoming a viral meme? What about his reaction? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Muni Long Shows Off Her Growth On New Album “Revenge”

by

Muni Long has come a long way since securing her first-ever Grammy for her 2022 hit, “Hrs and Hrs.” On Friday, the songstress unleashed her second album, Revenge. On the 14-track project, she delivers all of the honesty and emotion one would expect while putting both her growth as an artist and as a person on full display.

She chatted about the project with Billboard earlier this month and called it the “R&B album of the year,” setting the bar high and revealing what she thinks fans will love about it. “First of all, you have to be a bit deluded to do this [music],” she explained at the time. “But I have to believe that even before the album is finished. I had to know that’s what I wanted to do as I’m doing it because that energy and that frequency have to be infused into the music. That’s something a lot of music is missing on the energetic and confidence level — before anyone else validates you. You can tell that I didn’t just throw these tracks together. This project was well thought out and well-intentioned. People are going to appreciate that, and resonate with the music on a deeper level.”

What do you think of Muni Long’s new album, Revenge? Which of the tracks is your favorite? Does it live up to the hype? Share your thoughts in the comments section and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates. Check it out down below.

DC The Don Reaches “GOD LEVEL” On New Single: Stream

by

After his last project 2012, it seems like DC The Don is already gearing up for his next big move with a more aggressive and industrial direction. Sure, he’s always played with rage sounds and more bombastic trap and hip-hop, but his new single “GOD LEVEL” plays further into that. Buzzing kicks and bass hits, screeching synths, warbled vocal effects, and primally percussive flows mix together to create quite the dramatic and moshpit-ready banger.

Furthermore, this follows more introspective, reflective, and moody fare from DC The Don as of late, such as his recent midwxst collab single “FIRE.” Also, fans got a lot of highly anticipated and fan-favorite throwaways on the SACRED HEART 2 (+) mixtape. As such, many of his sounds and different approaches are mixing together this year and complementing each other, which makes this more harsh and experimental direction for his artistry all the more exciting and compelling. Hopefully there’s more where this came from, as there’s a lot of potential here to make this sound and style even more captivating.

Meanwhile, the “BACKSTAGE” rapper is still engaging with fans and keeping them alert with new updates, so we’ll see how much longer we have to wait for a new project. If you haven’t heard DC The Don’s “GOD LEVEL” yet, find it on your preferred streaming service or check it out on YouTube below. Down there, you can also find some notable lines from the cut and the comments section for you to leave your thoughts on the single. As always, check back in with HNHH for more of the best hip-hop drops around the clock.

Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG “Dark Pony/Pink Oxford” Not Happening

by

Travis Scott was set to make waves once again with another highly anticipated sneaker release: the Air Jordan 1 Low in a “Dark Pony/Pink Oxford” colorway.

His partnership with Nike has consistently pushed boundaries, making each release special. This colorway would have been a fresh addition to his already impressive lineup, offering more than just a shoe—it was poised to be a statement.

Halle Bailey Continues To Deliver On “Because I Love You”

by

It’s already been a huge year for Halle Bailey, and fans are glad to see that she only continues to deliver. The 24-year-old songstress is in her solo bag these days, and while she hopped on her sister Chloe’s Trouble In Paradise track “Want Me” earlier this month, her latest release is all her. On Friday, she unveiled “Because I Love You,” a lighthearted single about being with the one you love.

”’Because I Love You’ is a song for anyone who has been deeply in love,” Halle says of the track. “It’s an anthem that tells the story of all of the beautiful passion and euphoria you can feel with that person.” The song arrived alongside a playful and cinematic accompanying music video, which showcases some of the ups and downs that come with being head over heels for someone, as well as the various different sides it can bring out in a person. One version of Halle is seen dining headfirst onto a windshield to get closer to her man, gets jealous when she catches him staring at herself, and more.

Clearly, Halle had fun with the concept and let her creativity shine through, and fans can’t wait to hear what else she has up her sleeve. What do you think of Halle Bailey’s new single?
