Druski Put On Blast By Child Actor’s Mother For Calling Her Son “Fat”

November 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Druski never fails to make headlines for his wild internet antics, but recently, his behavior during Kai Cenat’s “Mafiathon 2” Thanksgiving special has created an uproar. At one point in the stream, the comedian and various others were seen sitting around a table. This included Kevin Hart, members of the Addams Family, and more. One child actor dressed up as Pugsley even joined them, but unfortunately, his evening took a turn for the worse.

Throughout the stream, Druski called the boy “fat” multiple times. Cenat then reprimanded Druski as the boy started crying. Ultimately, Druski apologized to the boy, letting him know that his remarks were all in jest. Despite this, the boy’s mother was furious, and promptly hopped online to call him out. In a clip, she explains how the situation made her incredibly upset, as she had no idea what was going on.

Druski Called Out For His Behavior During Kai Cenat’s Stream

“They wouldn’t let me get my son. Security blocked me. The person in charge of telling me what’s supposed to go on was telling me my son was crying because he didn’t get enough food, which is a lie. An older person, Druski, was physically and mentally insulting my son!” she said. “They let this happen to my son! It’s really damaged him. I don’t think anyone should let their kids around drunk men. They also broke the child permit laws. Very unprofessional. We love Kai Cenat, we’ve worked with him before, but Druski, you are not it!”

Cenat later addressed the debacle on stream, arguing that the boy’s remarks in his mother’s video seemed “forced a little bit.” He also claimed that they cut this portion of the stream after the fact simply to avoid more jokes being made at the child’s expense. “We cut it out solely for the fact we didn’t want anyone on YouTube to make a joke out of this. That’s how serious this is,” he stated.

J Cole Announces One-Night-Only Concert For “2014 Forest Hills Drive” Anniversary

November 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

While J Cole has had a pretty tough 2024 all things considered, at least he will close it out on a very high note. On December 9, his commercial and critical masterpiece 2014 Forest Hills Drive will turn ten years old, and new physicals with bonus tracks emerged to celebrate. But in addition to that, the Dreamville boss will host a one-night-only concert celebrating the album at Madison Square Garden on December 16. Presale tickets go live on Monday (December 2) with certain unclear access, and general tickets will drop on Wednesday (December 4 ) at 10AM EST via this link.

But J. Cole’s late 2024 celebrations don’t stop there. He also launched the Inevitable audio series with Ibrahim “Ib” Hamad – his manager and label cofounder – and Scott Lazer. It goes over the North Carolina native’s entire discography piece by piece, contains some previews and snippets of unreleased material, and narrates a lot of Cole’s reflections and lessons throughout the different points of his career. It’s been a very compelling experience so far, and we can only imagine what will pop up once we get into the big blockbuster LPs like 2014 Forest Hills Drive.

What’s more is that one of J. Cole fans’ favorite things about this new Inevitable program is how they expanded it as a multi-media venture. Not only do you get these stories about his legendary career, but his team also dropped his old mixtapes on streaming services. The latest one to finally hit DSPs was Friday Night Lights, which for many is the pinnacle of classic Jermaine. Even though many listeners instead focus on the Kendrick Lamar and Drake rap beef plus some disappointing singles, this late-year run shows that people still care about his craft.

Finally, this MSG announcement also comes off the heels of Dreamville Fest 2025’s reveal. Although we don’t know the lineup yet, we can expect J. Cole and many more amazing talents to captivate Raleigh for its fifth anniversary. Considering how notable this year’s event was, make sure you get your ticket. Or, if you’re lucky, you can snag a stub for this 2014 Forest Hills Drive anniversary show.

Lizzo Says Kai Cenat Was “Breathing Heavy” During Mafiathon 2: “That’s the ni**a that was breathing loud”

November 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Who was breathing heavy and why does anyone care? Let’s get to the bottom of this … Lizzo recently joined SZA on Kai Cenat’s Mafiathon 2 livestream, where the duo brought great energy, music, and laughs to fans. Lizzo even created a viral moment when she hilariously shouted Kendrick Lamar’s famous “Mustard!” tag from his GNX track, “tv off.” However, the lighthearted appearance turned into a topic of online chatter when some viewers claimed Lizzo was “breathing loudly” during the stream.

That’s what the chat has come down to. Heavy breathing fishing expeditions.

Anyways, a few days later, Lizzo addressed the accusations during an Instagram Live, where she didn’t hold back. “I know if the internet is good for one thing, it’s for talking cash money sh*t about fat girls,” she said, pointing out the constant fatphobia she faces. “What I will not allow is for y’all to lie on me,” she firmly added.

Get this, Lizzo explained that it wasn’t her who was breathing heavily during the livestream but Kai Cenat himself. “That’s the ni**a that was breathing loud,” she clarified, adding humor to the moment. “How am I the one breathing loud when the volume didn’t even change?” To further prove her point, Lizzo demonstrated how her shoulders didn’t move, showing the claims were completely unfounded.

Despite facing persistent criticism about her size—highlighted recently by a satirical South Park episode—Lizzo continues to handle the negativity with grace and humor. Meanwhile, fans have been showering her with love, especially as she’s been showing off her glowing appearance and dramatic weight loss over the past year.

What’s more, on the gram, Lizzo has been receiving an outpouring of admiration. One fan gushed, “Baby, that face card ain’t ever declining. EVER!!!!” Another praised her sharp new look, commenting, “The cheekbones are cheekboning.” Others celebrated her consistency and beauty at every size, with one fan writing, “Always been that girl.”

Many also noticed her physical transformation, with comments like, “Whew, girl!! You looking skinny!! Still beautiful both ways. Love it.” Another applauded her approach to wellness, saying, “Working out & eating right. That’s how you lose weight!!!!”

Earlier this year, Lizzo shared with The New York Times that her weight-loss journey is all about self-love and long-term health. “I’m taking the time every day to put some love into my body,” she said. “There is never a day when I regret taking a walk or doing some Pilates. I’ve been methodical, losing weight very slowly.”

Lizzo’s empowering message and joyful energy continue to inspire her fans, proving that she remains unapologetically herself, no matter the noise from critics.

That part. Let’s focus on healthy lifestyles, wellness and body positivity not who was breathing heavy. TF.

Diddy Sued For Allegedly Hanging Woman Off 17th Story Los Angeles Balcony in 2016

November 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy is facing new allegations of assault in a lawsuit filed by Bryana “Bana” Bongolan, who claims the music mogul dangled her off a 17th-floor balcony in a fit of rage eight years ago. The complaint, filed on November 26 in Los Angeles Superior Court, seeks damages “believed to be in excess of $10,000,000.00.”

The lawsuit details an alleged incident that occurred on September 26, 2016, at the Los Angeles apartment of Cassie Ventura, Diddy’s then-girlfriend. Bongolan, a self-described “quintessential starving artist” and former designer for Diddy’s clothing line, says she was staying overnight at Ventura’s apartment when Diddy arrived in an enraged state.

“On or about September 26, 2016, Sean ‘P. Diddy’ Combs s*xually battered Ms. Bryana ‘Bana’ Bongolan, dangled her off of a 17-story-high balcony, and then slammed her into the patio furniture on the balcony,” the lawsuit claims. According to the filing, Diddy’s actions violated Bongolan’s “fundamental dignity, bodily autonomy, and sense of safety.”

The lawsuit portrays this event as the culmination of ongoing intimidation and violence. “This event was the culmination of a series of threats, intimidation, and violence that colored many of Ms. Bongolan’s interactions with Mr. Combs from the day she met him,” the document alleges.

Bongolan’s attorney, James R. Nikraftar, emphasized the lasting impact of the incident. “The September 26 assault ultimately proved that Ms. Bongolan was correct to fear Mr. Combs and has resulted in deep and lasting harm,” the filing states. It also highlights Diddy’s alleged threats, including his claim that he was the “motherf*cking devil” and that he “could kill” Bongolan. These threats, the lawsuit says, were intended to “terrorize, intimidate, and instill fear.”

The complaint further describes the balcony incident as an act of extreme psychological and physical harm. “The only purpose of dangling someone over a balcony is to actually kill them or to intentionally terrorize them and rob them of any concept of dominion over their own bodily autonomy and safety,” the document states. “It should be no surprise that is exactly what happened to Ms. Bongolan.”

Back in May this story was alleged months before the recent lawsuit. Tiffany Red, a longtime friend of Cassie Ventura, claimed Diddy “hung a woman over a balcony. And in Cassie’s earth shattering lawsuit, she alleged that Diddy “picked up one of Ms. Ventura’s friends like a child” and dangled them over a 17th-floor balcony. Red even posted about the incident. She did not name the woman, at the time. But now we have more intel.

Bongolan’s claims bring renewed scrutiny to Diddy’s behavior and past relationships, demanding accountability for the alleged actions that have caused her lasting trauma.

Pras Is Skeptical About His Future With The Fugees Amid His Prison Sentence

November 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Pras has had a rough time as of late, as the court sentenced him to 22 years in prison for a federal corruption scheme that also involved various other celebrities. However, he’s also thinking a lot about how he will turn this around, appeal the sentence, and how this all relates to his rap crew, the Fugees. The Brooklyn native recently sat down with Variety to talk about his legal predicament and how he feels like his former group mates in the hip-hop space left him to the wayside amid all this drama, which he says is something he can’t focus on too much.

“I’m done with that,” Pras told the outlet. “They’re going to Europe [for a tour]. I can’t go, so… It’s what it is. You can’t give people that kind of energy. So you could be frustrated, you could be disappointed, but I really believe in my path and in my journey, and I believe what’s mine, no one’s going to be able to take it away from me. So it’s better that you have a small group of people who really believe in you and believe in what you’re doing than to have 100 people around you, and the minute something happens — boom. People just disappear.”

Furthermore, this comes after Lauryn Hill responded to Pras’ lawsuit against her, which claims fraud and breach of contract over some canceled shows. “This baseless lawsuit by Pras is full of false claims and unwarranted attacks,” she expressed on Instagram. “It notably omits that he was advanced overpayment for the last tour and has failed to repay substantial loans extended by myself as an act of goodwill.”

As for his legal troubles, Pras is keeping the coolest head he can. “I don’t know if subconsciously it was a bit exciting for me,” he reportedly told Variety. “I like spy movies. But I never wanted to be a spy. I don’t think that’s sexy. But a part of it felt like that. Technically, I’m a foreign agent. […] I’m going to fight, and I’m going to appeal. But there’s a possibility that I’m going in while I’m fighting… It’s just the reality.”

LL COOL J Claims He’s “The Most Important Rapper That Ever Existed”

November 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

GOAT conversations are among the most important components of the lifeblood of hip-hop, and they trace back to one of the culture’s most impactful and pioneering careers. LL COOL J recently hopped on Apple Music’s Le Code to argue why he’s the most important rapper in the genre’s history, although his thoughts on the actual GOAT conversation may surprise you.

“I’ma say this humbly, but I really mean this,” he began. “I think one day people are going to wake up and realize that LL COOL J is the most important rapper that ever existed. I truly believe one day people are going to say that. […] They’re gonna say when it comes to Fubu, ‘Yo, this guy introduced the whole idea of putting clothing lines. Even before that, he did Troop.’ When it comes to endorsements, ‘Oh, this is the guy who did Kangol and made the Kangol popular before people even did that.’ When they talk about television, they gon’ say, ‘Oh, this is the guy who did incredible stuff on TV and at the same time was still making incredible records.’ It wasn’t just doing TV and using rap as a launch pad. When it comes to business… I could go on and on and on and on.”

LL COOL J Knows His Worth

However, LL COOL J made the distinction between the most important rapper of all time, which he identifies himself as, and “the GOAT” or greatest of all time, which he finds to be more subjective. “Because there’s still a kid that the 2Pac album is the most important album to them,” he argued. “There’s still a kid that thinks Snoop made the records that changed their life. There’s still a kid that loves Biggie or loves Nas for their music and they should and have the right to do that. Do I call myself GOAT on the record? Of course, yes. I will say a lot of things on a record. But outside of being on the mic as an MC, there are too many rappers who have done too many important things for me to try to claim that I’m the one.”

Overall, it’s a more nuanced point of view from THE FORCE lyricist than a headline might suggest. While you can make the argument as to who changed hip-hop the most from their inception to the establishment of their legend status, LL COOL J certainly makes a strong case for himself.

Karlissa Saffold Clarifies Her Stance On Soulja Boy After Blueface Beef

November 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Karlissa Saffold is someone who never hesitates to speak her mind. The Aunt-Tea Podcast host frequently airs her opinions on everyone from her family members to her foes. Soulja Boy is certainly no exception, as evidenced by a new clip that recently surfaced online. In the clip, she’s seen getting interrupted by a Soulja Boy song while spending time with loved ones on Thanksgiving. She quickly made it clear that his music was not welcome in her home, and didn’t hold back.

“I told y’all don’t play no motherf*ckin’ Soulja Boy in this goddamn house, okay?” she begins in the clip. “It’s Blueface or no one, now turn this sh*t off. Yeah, we don’t listen to Soulja Boy on Thanksgiving, we listen to Soulja Boy on Halloween.” Obviously, Saffold is not a fan, and social media users are not surprised. After all, he’s had his fair share of beef with Saffold’s son in the past, which might explain her feelings towards the “Crank That” performer.

Karlissa Saffold Is Clearly Not A Fan Of Soulja Boy

A post shared by Watch Live Bitez (@livebitez)

Earlier this year, for example, he went off on Blueface and Chrisean Rock during a heated Instagram Live rant. He made several disgusting comments about their infant son Chrisean Jesus at the time too, which for obvious reasons, Saffold took issue with. She fired back with an Instagram Live rant of her own, warning Soulja Boy not to talk about other people’s children. According to her, it might just end up coming back to bite him in the end.

“Y’all should not be talking about nobody’s baby. That’ll come back on your grandbaby. That’s off limits, that’s short man syndrome because that baby is bigger than Soulja Boy already! That’s why he’s mad,” she explained. “He wouldn’t say his gang affiliation on the internet, but he talking about kids. That’s just giving a m*dget on drugs.”

Kendrick Lamar’s “good kid, m.A.A.d. city” Sold More Than Kanye West’s “VULTURES 1” In 2024

November 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kendrick Lamar and Kanye West are such legendary hip-hop artists that their back catalog still sells better than most rap albums that dropped this year. But it’s astounding that the former’s 2012 classic is still selling more than one of the latter’s most recent projects, and certainly one of 2024’s most talked-about and consumed releases. Moreover, good kid, m.A.A.d. city reportedly became the eighth best-selling hip-hop album in the United States by total units in 2024, zooming by Ye and Ty Dolla $ign’s VULTURES 1. Considering that GKMC is still relatively high on the Billboard 200 and even cracked its top 20 earlier this year, maybe we shouldn’t express so much shock.

Also, it’s not like VULTURES 1 was a particularly beloved or replayed album from Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign. Of course, the LP performed very well commercially and tracks like “CARNIVAL” and “BURN” were enduring standouts throughout the year, for better or worse. Maybe the collaborative effort’s legacy will change further down the road and establish a more solid foundation, but with the championship year that K.Dot’s enjoying right now, it seems like a futile effort.

Kendrick Lamar’s Vault Is Out-Selling Kanye West’s Premieres

Kendrick Lamar’s “good kid m.A.A.d city” is now the 8th best selling rap album in the US by total units in 2024, surpassing Kanye West’s & Ty Dolla $ign’s “VULTURES 1”. pic.twitter.com/fmW2JHa4YE

— Kendrick Lamar Updates (@KendrickChart) November 29, 2024

Kendrick Lamar dropped GNX this year to massive commercial success (or at least, the best-case scenario a surprise drop can give you) and to much fan acclaim. This was after an explosive beef with Drake, “killing the party,” and building anticipation for his Super Bowl halftime show next February, so it was one heck of a cherry on top. But we’re sure some of Kanye West’s charting classics, like Graduation or My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, could outshine that new record sales-wise in a regular calendar year with ease.

Meanwhile, Kanye West and Kendrick Lamar do have one thing in common: seemingly complicated relationships with J. Cole. In Kendrick’s case, though, we really have no idea what things look like between him and Cole these days. But the Dreamville boss has a hesitant admiration for Ye that he doesn’t really seem to reciprocate. If he had funneled that energy into a more cogent album than VULTURES 1, then maybe he would have sold more than GKMC this year.

Aubrey O’Day Gloats At Diddy After Court Denies Him Bail

November 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Aubrey O’Day is one of many celebrities who held no silence when it came to the Diddy scandal, which we’ve been in full swing of for over a year now. Moreover, his federal case for alleged sex trafficking continues to develop alongside the mountains of civil lawsuits against him. O’Day is one of the most vocal famous figures when it comes to the aversion to Sean Combs and his alleged behavior, so it’s no surprise that she revels in his downfall from time to time. For example, she recently took to Twitter to share her brief thoughts on a key legal development.

“take that take that,” she tweeted in reference to both Diddy’s iconic ad-lib and to the court denying him bail yet again. He and his legal team fought incessantly to present their case to the judge, arguing that the prosecution meddled with the trial and argued faulty narratives to keep him behind bars. But at the end of the day, the court maintained its position, although we wouldn’t exactly express shock at the idea of yet another bond attempt before trial begins next May. That’s the schedule at press time, but anything could happen.

Aubrey O’Day Reacts To Diddy Getting Bail Rejected

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

“With Diddy, I saw multiple real things, sides of him,” Aubrey O’Day recently claimed on a podcast, referring to his alleged physical grooming of her. “[…] Grooming is a process, they don’t just abuse you on day one. They make you feel like you get little bits of things that make you attracted and excited and then once they’ve got your attention, they let you know about yourself in different ways. It’s like the military. They break you down and build you back up into the soldier they need you to be for the country they need you to be fighting for.”

As for other updates on Diddy, an attorney for the State recently announced his resignation, which could delay the trial or impact the case in other significant ways. Without more details in the future and a more set timeline, though, it’s impossible to tell what this will really imply. All we know is that Puff will stay behind bars for the time being, and Aubrey O’Day feels vindicated.
