Joe Biden Tests Positive For COVID-19 Ahead Of Las Vegas Appearance

July 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Today, Joe Biden tested positive for COVID-19 ahead of a scheduled appearance in Las Vegas, the White House recently confirmed. Reportedly, the 81-year-old is currently experiencing “mild symptoms” such as “general malaise.” He canceled his public appearance as a result of the infection and is now headed home to Delaware to self-isolate. Press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says Biden will “carry out all of his duties fully during that time.”

His physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, claims he “presented this afternoon with upper respiratory symptoms, to include rhinorrhea (runny nose) and non-productive cough, with general malaise.” AP reports that he was prescribed Paxlovid, an antiviral drug, and has taken his first dose. Hopefully, Biden will be able to recover quickly. Luckily, he appears to be in good spirits despite being under the weather. He told reporters on Air Force One that he was feeling “good” earlier today, indicating that his illness hasn’t taken too much of a toll on him.

Of course, this latest development comes amid serious questions about his ability to hold the country down for another term, particularly following his performance last month during his first debate with Donald Trump. It also comes shortly after the assassination attempt on Trump that took place at a Pennsylvania rally over the weekend. Reportedly, Biden is vaccinated and received his recommended annual booster dose, which is proven to limit serious illness and death from COVID-19.

As the news makes its rounds online, Biden’s official X account seemingly made light of it with a witty set of Tweets. “I’m sick,” the first Tweet reads, “of Elon Musk and his rich buddies trying to buy this election.” This was followed by a link to donate to his campaign. What do you think of Joe Biden testing positive for COVID-19 ahead of his scheduled appearance in Las Vegas?

June 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent is predicting the end of the world after Donald Trump received over $200 million in donations following his guilty verdicts on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in New York, last week. 50 reacted to the news in a post on Instagram, on Sunday night, advising fans to enjoy the moment before it’s over for good.

“SMH don’t worry the world’s almost over,” he wrote in the caption. “Just enjoy the moment and be happy.” Fans had mixed responses to the take in the comments section. “All the money in the world won’t make a difference, he lost by over 7 million votes last time and he’ll lose by more this time,” one user argued. “America doesn’t want that embarrassment as president ever again.” Another countered: “It’s over if he loses, there’s gonna be a war.”

Trump’s son, Eric, announced that the campaign passed the $200 million mark during an appearance on Fox News, on Sunday. “We’re well over $70 million. This is $21 donations, $43 donations, right, small-dollar donations,” Eric claimed.“If you add the large dollar donations to it, you’re over $200 million.” Check out 50’s response to the news below.

Why Amber Rose Is Getting Hate For Supporting Trump 2024

May 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Amber Rose has recently come under hot water due to her recent endorsement of Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. This endorsement marks a significant departure from her previous criticisms of Trump. Furthermore, it has sparked a heated response from her followers and the public. Known for her strong advocacy for women’s rights and anti-racism, people have found it shocking that Amber would support a man who goes against everything she has been fighting for. She’s not backing down, however, and has continued to defend her choice to support Trump.

Amber Rose’s Endorsement

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Amber Rose (@amberrose)

On May 20, 2024, Amber Rose posted a photo on Instagram with former President Donald Trump and his wife Melania Trump, captioning it: “Trump 2024, along with three US flag emojis.” The photo immediately prompted backlash. Critics of the photo and Rose’s stand were quick to point out the apparent hypocrisy, especially given Trump’s history with women’s rights and issues related to racism. They also pointed out that Trump had a history of misogynistic statements and policies that have been harmful to the causes she claims to support.

Not to mention, Amber Rose herself has criticized Trump in the past. In a 2016 interview with The Cut, she labeled Trump an “idiot.” Moreover, she stated that she had hoped he would not be president. “He’s a f*cking idiot,” she said. “He’s so weird. I really hope he’s not president.” Similarly, some of Amber Rose’s tweets, where she was criticizing Trump, have resurfaced. In these tweets, she also likened Trump to trash and called him a sexual predator. This past condemnation makes her recent endorsement even more perplexing to many of her fans.

What Amber Rose Stands For

Amber Rose is quite known for her advocacy for certain causes. These include: feminism and women’s rights, as well as the LGBTQ+ community, and anti-racism. She has organized numerous “SlutWalk” marches, which have helped raise awareness on ending rape culture. She has also been a vocal advocate for racial equality. As a mixed-race and bisexual woman, Amber has stood for these causes throughout the years. So what’s changed all of a sudden?

Following Amber Rose’s post, fans and critics have highlighted that Trump stands against everything she has worked for. Some fans noted Trump’s involvement in appointing Supreme Court justices who contributed to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, a landmark decision that protected women’s reproductive rights. This decision has been seen as a significant setback for women’s rights in the U.S. Former President Donald Trump has also garnered significant support within predominantly white and conservative Christian communities. Additionally, he has a history of racially insensitive remarks and policies that are harmful to BIPOC Americans.

Backlash Following Amber Rose’s Sudden Support Of Trump

Notably, Trump has also been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women, and Amber Rose is well aware of this. After all, she has also labeled him a sexual predator. Therefore, her outright support for him is even more controversial. Many have expressed disappointment and disbelief, with some suggesting that her endorsement undermines her previous work, as well as her public stance on women’s issues.

Response To The Backlash

In response to the backlash, Amber Rose commented under a post from The Shade Room. She argued that people should do their research, and suggested that Trump offers a more reasonable stance on certain issues, compared to other political figures. She also defended her position by claiming she would always put women first. “Lmaooo yall think Biden cares about black ppl??? Sad. Do ur research. I did. I’ll ALWAYS put women first… Trump supports the most reasonable compromise on abortion. Stop being brainwashed cuz WE’RE ppl of color. Make your own decisions.”

Her response has only fanned the flames of criticism even more. In response to the claims that Trump is anti-LGBTQ, Amber Rose posted a 1998 video of Trump claiming to be “all for guys that like men.” However, this has continued to rake in more criticism. Amber Rose is being accused of grasping at straws, especially since Trump has been vocally against most, if not all of what she stands for.

Donald Trump Threatens To Deport Prince Harry If He’s Re-Elected

March 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

We’ll have to ask Trump’s supporters in hip-hop what they think of his latest threat to deport Prince Harry if he wins another election for President of the United States. Moreover, the indicted politician and business mogul recently sat down for an interview with GBN‘s Nigel Farage. During it, he warned that the Duke of Sussex would not get special treatment if he lies on his visa application, and it seems particularly centered around the former royal’s admissions of hard drug use. Futhermore, this is a factor that could significantly affect a visa renewal process or the application itself, as it could make applicants and solicitors ineligible. Of course, Donald Trump failed to offer a specific plan here, but he threatened Harry if his visa contains gaps or false information.

However, it’s more likely than not that Prince Harry’s past drug use, much to Trump’s dismay, will not pose that big of an issue concerning his visa. For those unaware, he currently lives in the U.S. on a visa and is still considering the idea to become a national citizen. Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle, is a natural-born U.S. citizen, and their children Archie and Lilibet are dual citizens. Since the election is months away, it seems like there’s not much cause for concern either way.

Trump’s Threat To Prince Harry: Watch

Well, there is cause for concern, but it’s because of the general campaign that Trump’s brought about, not its relationship to an ex-British royal. “Now if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole [country],” he threatened at a recent Ohio rally in reference to the Chinese automobile industry. “That’s gonna be the least of it. It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country. That will be the least of it. But they’re not going to sell those cars. They’re building massive factories. If this election isn’t won, I’m not sure that you’ll ever have another election in this country.”

Meanwhile, as more folks either align with or blast No. 45’s right-wing tendencies, it sets up a wholly chaotic election year that we’re already deep into. No matter how you slice it, it’s going to be an ugly fight. Let’s just hope the rants lessen with time. For more news on Donald Trump and Prince Harry, stay posted on HNHH.

Kodak Black Endorses Donald Trump

March 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kodak Black has vocally endorsed Donald Trump. However, the rapper went well beyond simply stating his voting preference. “We should have Donald Trump in office for 20 years,” Black declared. Of course, this is not the first time that Black has linked up with the former President. Trump gave Black a presidential pardon, though that action did little to curtail Black’s run-ins with the legal system.

“I’m mafioso, bruh. He a Gemini just like me. His birthday three days after my sh-t. And that boy, he be vibing out here too [in Florida]”. Black told Drink Champs last year. Furthermore, Black said he wouldn’t hesitate to give Trump $1 million if the former President asked for it. He’s not the only rapper to endorse Trump as of late. Earlier this week, Money Man also threw his hat behind the embattled former President.

Donald Trump Promises “Bloodbath” If He’s Not Elected, Campaign Tries To Backpedal

Elsewhere, Trump once again threatened the end of democracy in the United States if he does not win the general election in November. “Now if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole — that’s gonna be the least of it. It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country. That will be the least of it. But they’re not going to sell those cars. They’re building massive factories. If this election isn’t won, I’m not sure that you’ll ever have another election in this country,” Trump said in a speech in Ohio. Trump’s comments were riffing off previous ones he had made about the Chinese auto industry.

However, Trump’s campaign has attempted to mitigate his comments. “Biden’s policies will create an economic bloodbath for the auto industry and autoworkers,” campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt told NBC. However, it’s not the first time Trump has alluded to ending democracy in November. In previous speeches, he has warned of a violent rebellion if he does not win. Meanwhile, leaked documents have shown Trump’s plan to essentially install a military dictatorship if he is elected.

Aaron Rodgers Unlikely To Be Named Vice President Nominee: Report

March 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Aaron Rodgers appears to be no longer in the running to be the vice presidential candidate of Robert F Kennedy Jr’s independent long-shot campaign. Per Puck, the current front-runner is Nicole Shanahan, a wealthy philanthropist and ex-wife of Google co-founder Sergey Brin. “Nicole was the big RFK donor behind the Super Bowl ad. $4 million. But she didn’t just pay for it. She thought of the whole idea. Shanahan has money to finance the campaign. I don’t know her net worth. But she used to be married to one of the richest people in the world! That matters to RFK’s team,” wrote Teddy Scheilfer.

It’s unclear what caused Rodgers to fall out of favor despite being a reported frontrunner. It could be that the Jets were reportedly unhappy that Rodgers was considering the offer. Or it might have something to do with Rodgers having to explicitly state that the Sandy Hook massacre was a “tragedy” this week. However, no candidate will be fully ruled out until Kennedy Jr makes his VP announcement in Oakland later this month.

Travis Kelce Responds To Aaron Rodgers “Mr. Pfizer” Comment

NEW @PuckNews —

Forget Aaron Rodgers. What if the next Vice President of the United States is Nicole Shanahan?

Lots of buzz in @RobertFKennedy’s circle that Shanahan — a philanthropist and a native of Oakland, where the Kennedy VP announcement is soon to take place — that…

— Teddy Schleifer (@teddyschleifer) March 16, 2024

Elsewhere, Travis Kelce didn’t appear too fazed by Aaron Rodgers calling him “Mr. Pfizer” on the Pat McAfee show last year. However, in his response, he did remind Rodgers who signed the anti-vax QB’s paychecks. “I thought it was pretty good. I mean, with the stache, I look like a guy named Mr. Pfizer. Who knew I’d get into the vax wars with Aaron Rodgers, man, Mr. Pfizer vs. the Johnson and Johnson family,” Kelce said. The last comment was a reference to the Jets, Rodgers’ team, being owned by the heir to multinational conglomerate, Johnson & Johnson. Of the many products J&J produces, pharmaceuticals and a one-shot COVID vaccine are some of them.

Rodgers dubbed Kelce “Mr Pfizer” due to Kelce appearing in a series of ads encouraging people to get the new COVID vaccine. “Mr. Pfizer, we kinda shut him down a little bit. He didn’t have a crazy impact game. Obviously, he had some yards and stuff,” Rodgers told McAfee. Kelce had a team-leading 60 yards on six catches against the Jets. The Chiefs scored an ugly 23-20 road win.

Charlamagne Tha God Blasts Donald Trump Supporters As White Supremacists

March 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Charlamagne Tha God has not held back while sharing his thoughts about the voter base of Donald Trump. “They’ve accepted fascism and those are the people who I feel like they want their rights to be racist back. They want white supremacy to reign supreme over this nation,” Charlamagne told Stephen A. Smith. Charlamagne has been previously critical of Joe Biden. However, it remains to be seen if Charlamagne will back Biden to avoid a second Trump term.

Furthermore, Smith – a long-time Democrat – agreed that he would not be backing Trump in November. “I’m not voting for him, I can tell you that much right now. I’m not voting for him but it’s not because of his politics. It’s because of his behavior, the kind of person I think he is and I believe that he could potentially cause civil war in this country,” Smith noted. Smith has not yet publicly declared if he will back Biden in November.

Money Man Endorses Donald Trump

Elsewhere, Money Man has become the latest rapper to endorse Trump in the 2024 election. “I f-ck with Trump. I’m f-cking with Trump. I would go Trump. This my thing, I don’t think the Democrats done did sh-t for us. Man, I don’t see n-ggas getting rich out this b-tch man. Trump just, at least the other side they gone tell you how they feel. You know what I’m saying? Shoutout to Trump man,” Money Man said this week.

However, as mentioned, Money Man is not the only rapper backing Trump. Last year, Benny the Butcher announced that he was voting for Trump. Despite this, there are doubts that Benny can vote. Having been convicted of three felonies in the past, Benny could be ineligible to vote, depending on where he is registered. 24 states have laws governing if and how those convicted of felonies can vote. A further 23 states do not allow the currently incarcerated to vote. Only Maine and Vermont have no voting restrictions when it comes to criminal history.

Donald Trump Issues Unhinged Response To State Of The Union

Meanwhile, Trump didn’t wait for the “official” Republican response to President Biden’s State of the Union address, taking aim at the President on Truth Social. ”That may be the Angriest, Least Compassionate, and Worst State of the Union Speech ever made. It was an Embarrassment to our Country! He wants our Country to be flooded with Migrants,” Trump ranted. Biden had taken shots at Trump over the January 6 insurrection. However, he also announced plans to bring aid to Gaza and promised to restore Roe v. Wade.

Furthermore, Trump took aim at Mark Zuckerberg. ”If you get rid of TikTok, Facebook and Zuckerschmuck will double their business. I don’t want Facebook, who cheated in the last Election, doing better. They are a true Enemy of the People!” Trump claimed. The former President, who is currently the presumptive Republican nominee for November’s election, certainly made a choice by invoking electoral fraud. Trump is currently facing multiple legal cases surrounding his attempts to interfere with the 2020 election.

Aaron Rodgers Reportedly Angers New York Jets With Surprise Vice President News

March 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The New York Jets are reportedly unhappy with Aaron Rodgers after it was announced he was the frontrunner to be Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s running mate for President. “It’s absurd to think he could campaign and play simultaneously,” one team source told the Daily Mail. “Lots of the coaches and players want Aaron to commit to the team and worry about winning the Super Bowl over a chance to be in the White House,” added another.

Rodgers is expected to be QB1 for the Jets when the 2024 season kicks off later this year. The team has already granted Zach Wilson permission to seek a trade and recently signed Tyrod Taylor to back up Rodgers. Rodgers is reportedly being considered by Kennedy alongside former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura. Keendy is mounting a long-shot independent bid after withdrawing a long-shot bid against Joe Biden in the Democratic Primary. Kennedy Jr is a noted anti-vaxer and nephew of JFK. However, he has never held political office.

Aaron Rodgers Receives Jets Players’ “Most Inspirational” End-Of-Season Award

REPORT: The #Jets are ‘UPSET’ with Aaron Rodgers, per @MailOnline.

Elsewhere, Rodgers received the Jets’ “Most Inspirational Player” award last season. The award was voted on by the other players. “I’ve said it a million times: He loves his teammates, and his teammates love him. He’s so intentional with how he approaches everybody in the building. He’s very thoughtful in the way he does things, and he’s a tremendous human. Aaron is really well deserving of this award,” head coach Robert Salah said.

Not only is Rodgers seen as an “ideal” teammate, but his expedited return from a torn Achilles served as motivation for the rest of the team. While Rodgers would ultimately admit he was not ready to play again, his return to practice just two-and-a-half months after undergoing surgery to repair his torn Achilles was nothing short of miraculous. Despite this, Rodgers maintained that he would return to play for the team if they were still playoff contenders.

Vice President Aaron Rodgers? One 2024 Candidate Might Make It A Reality

March 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Robert F. Kennedy Jr has revealed that New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is on his shortlist of Vice President nominees. The controversial Democrat, and nephew of JFK, has launched an independent presidential bid after failing to mount a challenge against Joe Biden. Rodgers’ name is near the top of a list that also includes former Minnesota Governor, and WWE legend, Jesse Ventura. RFK Jr and Rodgers reportedly “speak frequently” and hold very similar anti-vaccine beliefs.

Of course, being nominated as a vice-presidential candidate could deal Rodgers’ return to the NFL. While Kennedy is a long-shot candidate, it would be expected that Rodgers would appear on the campaign trail. That might put him at odds with the Jets, who are expecting him to be QB1 come the fall. Rodgers has never spoken publicly about running for office. Jets owner Woody Johnson is a major donor for Donald Trump and previously served as Trump’s ambassador to the United Kingdom.

Aaron Rodgers Quietly Removed From The Pat McAfee Show

However, Rodgers has already cemented himself as something of a controversial character. Earlier this year, Rodgers was quietly removed from his weekly spot on The Pat McAfee Show. The news came after Rodgers pointedly refused to apologize to Jimmy Kimmel. Rodgers, who had implied that Kimmel did not want the list of people who had traveled to Jeffrey Epstein’s island to be made public, argued that he never actually made any specific assertions about Kimmel. Per The Athletic, the decision to remove Rodgers was made by McAfee and not mandated by ESPN.

After Rodgers’ initial comments, McAfee tried to clear the air between the long-time rivals. While discussing Rodgers’ claims about Jimmy Kimmel, McAfee said that Rodgers’ comments were “certainly probably just a sh-t talk joke” and that everyone involved should just move on. However, McAfee did note that he understood why Kimmel had reacted so heatedly. Kimmel took further aim at Rodgers this week, dedicating his January 8 monologue to roasting the sidelined quarterback.
