Keyshia Cole Flaunts “Heartbreak Ring,” Creating More Hunxho Break-Up Rumors

November 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Keyshia Cole has unveiled a striking new ring in the shape of a broken heart, seemingly symbolizing her recent breakup with rapper Hunxho. The diamond-encrusted piece, which sparkled on her Instagram Story, was accompanied by the caption, “My new ring cause yeah,” paired with a teary-eyed emoji. She also added the words “nasty work,” a phrase hinting at the emotional weight of her split. Just weeks ago, Cole had declared her single status on Instagram, alluding to the end of their relationship. The R&B singer has alluded to their breakup with various heartbreak-related content throughout the month.

While their relationship rollercoasters have been public, neither has shared details about the reasons for their separation. However, speculation has emerged that their significant age difference—Cole is 43, while Hunxho is 25—may have contributed to the breakup. The couple first became romantically linked earlier this year, but their relationship was marked by controversy from the start. Not long after they went public, rapper Gloss Up alleged she had been romantically involved with Hunxho during the early days of his relationship with Cole.

Hunxho has not acknowledged the relationship or a possible breakup on social media. He released his sophomore album, Thank God, in October. The couple collaborated on the album cut “Don’t Let Me Down.” Before the album’s release, Hunxho and Cole appeared good as he gifted her a pink Maybach for the singer’s birthday. The album features Fridayy, Ty Dolla $ign, Polo G, Mariah The Scientist, Don Toliver, and Lil Durk.

Keyshia Cole’s relationship history includes a proposal to Jeezy and a three-year marriage with former NBA player Daniel Gibson. She has been linked to high-profile rappers such as Bow Wow, The Game, and Birdman. She released her latest album, 11:11 Reset, in 2017. Cole is best known for the classic love songs, “Love,” “Last Night,” and “I Should Have Cheated.”

Doja Cat Hints At New Music In Cryptic Video

November 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Fans have been patiently waiting for Doja Cat’s forthcoming fifth album. She hinted at new music on Friday (Nov. 22) in a series of new posts on X. In the first clip, captioned “Let’s talk about it,” she appears ready to speak but abruptly cuts off the video, leaving her followers clamoring for more. In the second post, she simply tweeted, “vie vie vie.” On Thanksgiving, she tweeted the word “vie” in the post: “tu es ma vie,” which translates in Spanish to, “You are my life.”

Speculation began in late October when Doja wiped her X, formerly Twitter, account clean, leaving only a cryptic post that read simply, “album.” In early November, she reignited the hype by posting what appeared to be a tracklist featuring 13 songs. The list, which she quickly deleted, included five-starred tracks that she labeled as her favorites: “Cards,” “Acts of Service,” “Make It Up,” “Did I Lie,” and “Crack.” She clarified that the songs weren’t in their final sequence, adding to the intrigue. The next album will follow her hugely successful fourth album, Scarlet, released in 2023.

These teasers mark the latest chapter in Doja Cat’s unconventional approach to album rollouts, blending mystery and minimalism to keep fans guessing. While she has yet to confirm a release date or reveal further details, the snippets, and tracklist hints suggest that her next project may showcase a mix of introspection and playful experimentation. In the past, Doja has discussed making a conscious album with 9th Wonder. Originally known as a rapper, she has often educated fans on her rap roots during live streams.

With her knack for reinvention and a fanbase eager for fresh material, the upcoming album could solidify her reputation as one of music’s most versatile and enigmatic artists. Until then, fans are left piecing together clues, eagerly awaiting what’s next from the genre-defying star. In 2024, Doja Cat has been busy headlining festivals and on a worldwide tour with her Scarlet album.

Tia Kemp, Rick Ross’s Baby Mama, Says She’d Let Drake Smash

November 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rick Ross’s baby mother, Tia Kemp, expressed interest in Drake laying the smackdown on her in a new interview with controversial podcaster Tasha K. “I’d let him knock the Mario coins out of me,” Kemp tells Tasha in response to a question about Drake. Kemp’s suggestions to the 6 God began in April following Drake dissing Rick Ross on “Push Ups.” Ross would respond to Drake with “Champagne Moments.” On the sidelines, Tia Kemp offered Drake support and more on social media.

Drake has not responded to Kemp’s comments yet. He hasn’t publicly acknowledged Ross’s baby mama throughout the beef. According to Ross, their beef stems from Drake refusing to clear a verse for mutual friend French Montana. Ross mentioned it on his diss track, saying, “I unfollowed you, n***a ’cause you sent / The motherf****n’ cease-and-desist to French Montana, n***a.”

Rozay and Kemp share three children. The former couple was together before Rick Ross became the “Biggest Bawse That You Seen Thus Far” with his breakout debut album Port of Miami. After Kemp, Ross’s relationship history included comedian Pretty Vee, rapper Foxy Brown, model Elise Neal, and video vixen Lila Mercer, who he got engaged to in 2015. Now, Ross is in a relationship with Cristina Mackey. Tia recently questioned his relationship with Mackey, claiming he was a “Diddler.”

Drake isn’t the first Rick Ross rival Kemp sided with during the feud. In 2009, she graced the cover of Smooth Magazine with 50 Cent, who began a feud with Ross that year. During the feud, 50 would take Kemp and Rozay’s son shopping and visit Floyd Mayweather. The rivals’ feud continues. In October, 50 Cent advised Drake on his battle with Kendrick Lamar, claiming Drizzy didn’t lose to Lamar. “I was telling him it’s not him. I’m listening on the outskirts, it’s not you,” 50 shared in an interview. “Don’t let yourself think that for a second. On some real sh*t, I said, ‘They said you lost, okay. Well, what did you lose?’ What exactly did he lose if he got 300-something million on his last tour? You didn’t lose a motherf**king thing, man.”

Kenneth Petty, Nicki Minaj’s Husband, Approved To Travel To The Tropics For Her Birthday

November 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Nicki Minaj‘s husband, Kenneth Petty, will celebrate her birthday in paradise after hitting the road with her on her record-breaking Pink Friday 2 tour. On probation, Petty has received rare court approval to travel internationally, allowing him to celebrate the icon’s upcoming birthday. Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald granted the request, permitting Petty to join Minaj for a luxurious getaway despite restrictions on his travel. Minaj, who just announced the next leg of her world tour, will celebrate her 42nd birthday in a couple of weeks.

The couple plans to spend December 3 to December 13 in the Turks and Caicos Islands, marking Minaj’s 42nd birthday with a family vacation. Petty’s legal history includes a 1995 conviction for attempted rape and a 2006 first-degree manslaughter charge, for which he served seven years in prison. In 2022, he faced sentencing for failing to register as a sex offender, receiving home confinement, probation, and financial penalties. These legal obligations require him to secure court approval for international travel.

Court records reveal that Petty’s legal team filed an ex parte motion for this trip, a move opposed by federal prosecutors but unchallenged by his probation officer. Ultimately, the court sided with Petty, allowing him to accompany Minaj on the vacation. The approval comes with strict conditions. Petty must submit a detailed itinerary to his probation officer, maintain communication, and report back promptly upon his return. Petty had to produce similar documents on Minaj’s world tour.

This latest ruling underscores the legal complexities surrounding Petty’s life, even as he participates in significant family milestones with Minaj. Despite public scrutiny and legal hurdles, the couple continues to make arrangements to navigate their personal and professional lives together. Nicki Minaj’s husband was present when Minaj was detained for her high-profile May possession charges in Amsterdam. Fans protested her release following arrest.

Akademiks Reacts To “Her Loss” Cover Model Suki Baby’s Love For Kendrick Lamar’s “GNX”

November 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Akademiks chimed in on Suki Baby, the cover model of Drake and 21 Savage’s Her Loss album, shocking social media with her praise for Kendrick Lamar’s new album, GNX, on Thanksgiving. During a recent chat with her followers, Suki expressed her admiration for GNX, describing it as more than just a response to Lamar’s detractors. “This album Kendrick put out—it’s for the world,” she shared. “We can go back a couple of songs, and he’s not even talking about bro. He’s in this space where he’s saying, ‘Nobody is playing with me.’ It’s not just directed at one person; it’s a statement.”

As usual, Akademiks shared his thoughts on Suki’s comments, saying, “Shorty might be a little dense in her thinking, but be very clear, this Kendrick album is the embodiment of the energy from the battle.” Big Ak would relate GNX to Drake’s album More Life, the project after Drizzy’s battle with Meek Mill. He added: “Drake’s album after Meek Mill … the obliteration of Meek Mill. That was the embodiment of, ‘hey, this is me on an aggressive type of timing, since y’all think y’all can play with me. Look what I did to the last dude.’ And that’s what Kendrick is on. I’m not saying he is speaking about Drake in every line. But the energy created by the battle is still on this album.”

GNX is set to debut at #1 with 324,000 units after taking over Apple Music and Spotify charts. The surprised album features an all-L.A. roster outside of SZA’s features on “luther” and “gloria.” The album’s lead track, “squabble up” is projected to debut at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week. Memes featuring Lamar screaming the producer Mustard’s name propelled “tv off” to social media’s top of the charts. Lamar’s Yell inspired brands to add it to their promotions.

As Kendrick’s album soars to record-breaking heights ahead of the Super Bowl, Drake prepares to go international in February. Drizzy and Live Nation revealed his upcoming Anita Max Win Tour on Thanksgiving. Before the announcement, Drake revealed the tour on livestream with xQc. The tour kicks off the same day as Lamar’s anticipated Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show performance.

Juice Wrld Fans Hate “The Party Never Ends,” The Last Posthumous LP

November 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

After fans criticized the cover of Juice WRLD’s last posthumous album, The Party Never Ends, last week, they continued to disparage the album upon its release on Friday. Passed away in 2019 at 21 years old, the third and final afterlife release has been dissected relentlessly online. While the late rapper’s devoted followers eagerly anticipated the release, the project has been met with criticism, with fans arguing it falls short of the high standards Juice WRLD set during his career. Fans blame the superstar’s team for the album’s concept and direction.

Fans expressed their distaste for the album on social media. One user tweeted, “The last ever juice WRLD album the fans will ever stay up for, meant to honor his legacy and how diverse his talent was. And they infest it with more dog posthumous features, mixing, and depressive tracks. The mainstream will never be able to see how good he really was.” Another tweeted, “How tf is this the album they’re gonna drop after waiting 3 extra years? It’s unbelievable that they picked these songs instead of all the bangers Juice WRLD made. It literally ruins his legacy because of all the hype that was built, just for them to drop the most mid-songs.”

JuiceWrld Fans Ain’t Feelin The Last Album, The Party Never Ends

The Party Never Ends follows the legend’s 2021 album Fighting Demons. With songs like “Already Dead,” “Burn,” and “Wandered To LA,” the album explored the Chicago native’s inner demons. As of December 2021, the album debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200, but at #1 on the Billboard Hip-Hop & R&B charts. Fighting Demons was Juice Wrld’s second #1 posthumous album of the three.

Born Jarad Higgins, Juice Wrld tragically passed in 2019 after suffering a seizure at Chicago’s Midway Airport. Emergency responders reported he was bleeding from the mouth upon arrival. The loss sent shockwaves throughout hip-hop. The one-of-a-kind recording artist left behind a legacy defined by vulnerability and raw emotion in his lyrics.

Boosie Badazz Reveals Why He Thinks R Kelly’s Fellow Inmates Are “Blessed”

November 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Boosie Badazz is certainly no stranger to saying wild things online, and this week was no exception. In a new clip making its rounds, the Louisiana rapper explains why he considers the inmates behind bars with R Kelly to be blessed. According to him, it all comes down to entertainment, as the inmates could simply offer the incarcerated artist food and other items in exchange for music.

“People don’t know how blessed they are to have R Kelly in the same part,” he began. “He could have all my soups, everything, just sing to me.” Boosie continued, arguing that hearing Kelly sing would brighten up his day if he were in prison. For obvious reasons, Boosie’s remarks have earned mixed reactions in The Neighborhood Talk‘s comments section. While some are able to separate art from the artist, others say Kelly’s disturbing alleged crimes are far too much for them to stomach.

“Ew,” one commenter writes. “This man be saying anything,” another claims. This is far from the first bizarre statement social media users have heard from Boosie Badazz in recent weeks, however. Earlier this month, he revealed that he’s expecting his ninth child with his fiancée, Rajel Nelson. The two of them hosted a gender reveal party, announcing to the world that they were having a girl. Shortly after, Boosie made it clear that he’s looking to have even more kids in the future.

In fact, he said he’s so eager to get the ball rolling that he’s unlikely to wait the recommended time after his baby’s birth to try for another. “Yeah, I wanted a boy,” he told his followers on Instagram Live last week. “I ain’t tripping I’ma to put another one in her right after that. Other people wait six weeks, I don’t wait six days. I ain’t waiting six days. I’m gone get that boy.”

Hugo D. Almonte, Khalid’s Ex, Apologizes For “Outing” The Singer

November 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Khalid‘s ex-boyfriend, Hugo D. Almonte, backtracked after outing the American Dream creator last week by apologizing and explaining the reason behind the revelation on Friday (Nov. 29). Hugo, a recording artist, and Onlyfans content creator, unveiled four posts in his Instagram stories, beginning with the following: “I’ve been reflecting deeply on everything that’s happened, and it’s time I speak up. I’ve seen the comments, the backlash, and the disappointment. I understand why people are upset, and I take full responsibility for my actions. I made a mistake-a serious one. Outed someone, and that was wrong. No matter the circumstances, it wasn’t my place to reveal something so personal. For that, I am truly sorry.”

The apology continued with the full story. Alamonte wrote: “But I need you to hear the full story because what led to that moment was years of emotional abuse, relationship, manipulation, and relentless lies that took a toll on my mental health in ways I never imagined.” Khalid’s name is not mentioned in the post, but Hugo details their relationship timeline.“Eventually, we started a relationship,” he wrote. “By then, I had my own apartment, my own job, and my own income. I never relied on them for financial support. When they invited me to move in and we went house hunting together, I kept my apartment. I didn’t want to give up my independence because I knew how situations like this could turn. I didn’t want to be controlled or manipulated.”

Last week, Hugo outed Khalid via Instagram with a caption that described the singer as “ugly.” Despite the backlash, Hugo wants to focus on healing from the relationship. He ended the apology letter with, “I know some people won’t forgive me, and I accept that. But I hope, in time, you can see that I’m not just the person who made that mistake. I’m someone who’s learning, growing, and trying to be better every day. Thank you to those who’ve supported me and those who’ve held me accountable. I hear you, and I’m taking the steps to change.”

When Khalid’s fans heard the news, they rallied around him. The unfolding drama has reignited broader conversations about boundaries, respect, and the consequences of social media callouts, especially in the context of personal and deeply private revelations. Hugo and Khalid now find themselves at the center of a cultural debate on accountability and the limits of public disclosure. Khalid released his latest album, Sincere, in August. The album was inspired by the singer’s life experiences over the last five years.
