Foolio Offered Fans The Address To His Birthday Party Where He Was Tragically Murdered

June 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Foolio tragically passed away at age 26 in Tampa, Florida early Sunday (June 23) following a shooting at his continued birthday celebrations. Moreover, he had shared via his Instagram Stories that he was sending the address to people DM’ing him and asked folks to reach out if they wanted to pull up. Of course, this move is facing a lot of criticism, scrutiny, and saddened reevaluation in the wake of this tragedy. The Jacksonville rapper had promoted his pool party a lot online, and when police said that there were too many people inside his Airbnb, he moved to a Holiday Inn and let fans know as well, and that was where unknown perpetrators at press time “ambushed” him and shot him according to his lawyer Lewis Fusco.

“What we have learned, and this is early in the investigation, two cars were shot at,” Joneé Lewis relayed, who is a public information officer for the Tampa Police Department. “The victim in this morning’s shooting is believed to be Charles Jones [Foolio’s birth name]. Positive identification is pending confirmation from the Medical Examiner’s Office.” “At approximately 4:40 am, Tampa Police received a 911 call for a shooting at 11606 McKinley Drive,” the department told XXL, confirming the loss of Foolio. “A total of four people were injured in the shooting. One person was pronounced deceased, three other victims are being treated at the hospital.

“Their condition is listed as stable at this time,” Tampa PD’s statement on Foolio continued. “Police are investigating what led up to the shooting and working to identify those involved. This is an active investigation. Additional information will be released when available. Anyone with information related to this shooting incident is asked to contact Tampa PD. [Call] 813-231-6130 or share a tip via Tip411, which is accessible through the TampaPD app.” This comes after his attorney Fusco confirmed the news of his death to Jacksonville news outlet News4JAX.

“We will not be making any additional statements until further notice,” Foolio’s lawyer wrote on IG on Sunday morning. “Please respect his family during this difficult time. Rest in peace @julio_foolio.” “Y’all took my boyfriend from me. I hate y’all & I won’t be the only one crying [broken heart emoji],” a Sunday tweet from his supposed girlfriend Mani read. “God thank you for allowing me to see another Year & To celebrate another birthday,” the Jacksonville rapper had tweeted on Friday (June 21) for his birthday ahead of the weekend’s celebrations. “Appreciate all the birthday wishes so far.”
Rest In Peace Foolio.

Jada Pinkett Smith Says Will Smith Has Never Been With Another Man Amid Rumors

November 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jada Pinkett Smith is staunchly standing by her partner Will Smith amid rumors that he had a sexual relationship with his former male assistant and friend, Duane Martin. Moreover, this speculation emerged from a Tasha K interview with one of the actor’s best friends, Brother Bilaal, who claimed he walked into the two engaging in anal intercourse in a dressing room. Of course, this has been the subject of a lot of scandalous conversation online, although many people don’t believe that this alleged incident actually occurred. On her end, the actress immediately stuck up for him, and TMZ recently caught up with her in New York City on Wednesday (November 15) to get some more elaborate thoughts on the matter.

Furthermore, a reporter asked Jada Pinkett Smith if the Will Smith rumors were true, which she denied outright. Then, when they asked whether she’s ever seen him with another man, she said, “Never, never, never.” Not only that, but the Baltimore native also invited everyone watching to tune into her appearance on The Breakfast Club the following day. In that discussion, she also went into another big story concerning the couple: Jada’s memoir Worthy and the bombshell revelations she included about their marriage.

However, if you thought that this was the hardest that Jada Pinkett Smith was going to go concerning this, it looks like this won’t end quietly. She also threatened Tasha K and Brother Bilaal with legal action, as this could constitute some form of defamation. It’s not official and remains just a threat, but could pose some interesting ramifications for how we handle these cases today. Still, it’s clear that their marriage as a whole will be the main point of interest here, not whatever salacious and gossip-fueled claims appear about either of them.

Meanwhile, plenty of other celebrities like Cardi B came to the Fresh Prince’s defense amid these suppositions. If anyone knows what it’s like to have lies spread about you, it’s them. As such, we’ll see whether this stays within the rumor mill or ends up in court one day. For more news and the latest updates on Jada Pinkett and Will Smith, check back in with HNHH.

Steve Harvey Speaks On Cheating Rumors About His Wife, Marjorie Bridges

August 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Steve Harvey’s had a wild week on social media, but he isn’t letting any of the ruckus take too heavy of a toll. First, he had to address a tweet that his account put out about unfunny comedians, reportedly firing his social media manager as a result. Not only that, but this fell against the context of cheating rumors surrounding his wife of 16 years, Marjorie Bridges, with the allegations surrounding the entertainment icon’s security guard. Social media users went wild with this narrative, and unsurprisingly, it didn’t take long until Harvey addressed them. Moreover, he had some words for the gossip during his appearance at the recent Invest Fest.

“I don’t know what y’all doing, but find something else to do, ’cause we fine,” Steve Harvey remarked to the crowd. “Lord have mercy. I sure wish I could cuss, though. Sometimes you just wanna respond. But I ain’t got no time for rumors and gossip, man, God been good to me. I’m still shining, I appreciate y’all coming.” Furthermore, this isn’t the only rebuttal against this speculation that surfaced online in defense of Marjorie.

In addition, Nigerian Senator Ned Nwoko spoke on these rumors after allegedly reaching out personally to his friend. “When we read about our friend Steve Harvey and his lovely wife having issues, we had to contact Him,” Senator Nwoko wrote on social media. “He confirmed that he and his wife are very much okay and it’s all fake news and should be disregarded. The family is happy together and we wish them all the best.” As such, it seems like these rumors ended rights they started, and almost two months after they celebrated their anniversary.

Meanwhile, we’re sure that the gossip and rumor mill won’t stop just yet surrounding this story, but at least it’ll be seen as just that and not legitimate reports. It seems like the couple is as happy as ever, as frustrating as it must be to have to address speculation like this. Regardless, we’ll see what else the future holds in store for the two, and what else they’ll have to respond to. For more news and the latest updates on Steve Harvey, log back into HNHH.

6ix9ine Drops His Location & Akademiks Calls It A “Bad Idea”

January 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

6ix9ine is looking for trouble.

The rainbow-haired entity hit Instagram on Sunday night where he invited basically anyone to come to meet him in New York City. The rapper shared the exact location of where his plane was landing. However, he revealed that he was carrying $1M in cash and all by himself, in case anyone wanted to confront him.

“On my way to New York. I got a million dollars on me and on my mother I’m by myself here’s what the jet lady texted me I copy and pasted it Arriving:6:45PM
Airport: signature flight 1 Airport Rd, Morristown, NJ 07960,” he wrote. “Well I’m with the kid who recorded this video but he’s like 5’4 140 solid I swear.”

In the post, 6ix9ine shared a photo of himself with an abundance of cash and jewelry. He also showcased three luxury sports cars that were waiting for him upon his arrival.

Of course, this was another attempt by 6ix9ine to antagonize anyone who has expressed a single negative thought about him. He used these online tactics in the past before releasing new music in hopes to gain some sort of momentum. In recent times, these efforts haven’t produced the type of results he’s hoped.

Akademiks chimed in shortly after, warning his friend that it was a “bad idea” to share his location.

Tekashi’s made the rounds on various platforms to discuss Gunna’s plea deal. As hip-hop’s apparent resident expert in cooperating, he popped on Clubhouse and Akademiks’ streams where he discussed the ATL rapper’s Alford plea and how it would affect Young Thug’s case. He also slid under Gunna’s post to troll him but that was to be expected.

DJ Akademiks Says He Gave Lil Baby His Address To Fight

December 16, 2022 by newhiphopnews

DJ Akademiks has been quite the trending topic over the past few days.

As he continues to run his mouth on his Twitch streams, he’s not backing down when it comes to his recent beef with Lil Baby.

He hosted one of his notorious online sessions yesterday (December 15). During it, the media personality alleged that the “Yes Indeed” rapper won’t actually fight him.

In clips shared on social media, the streamer says he was serious about wanting to fight Lil Baby.

He went as far as to reveal that he even sent the 28-year-old an address to pull up to.

“Apparently he messaged me yesterday when I was on stream, right? He said, ‘Yo, send the addy.’ I guess people went viral with this whole thing when I said I’ll box him. I will box him!” he exclaimed.

After proceeding to send him an addy in the DMs, the “Drip Too Hard” hitmaker never showed up.

“I really think the majority of these rappers without their crews and no guns, really ain’t all sh*t, I’m sorry. And if a n***a beat my ass.. trust me, I’m funny enough, I’ll joke about it,” Ak continued.

Furthermore, the former Everyday Struggle host says that Baby lied about being in New York.

While showing the DMs to the camera, we can see that Akademiks wrote “I love u too. Lmk if u in NY.” This came as a response to the Atlanta native’s “Send me the addy!!”

The media personality insists he was then sent a fake address and that the rapper even deleted messages afterwards.

This beef seemingly all began earlier this year. Upon dropping his third studio album, It’s Only Me, in October, fans were quick to point out Lil Baby dissing Akademiks.

On “From Now On,” he raps “Akademiks know he ain’t as rich as me / Brodie ready to eat for a twenty piece / I ain’t got nothin’ to say to you mini-mes.”

Only a few songs farther down the tracklist, he adds more. “Akademiks, n***as think they can’t get touched / I don’t be on compuers much, CED turned me on to YouTube,” he raps on “Top Priority.”

Although he initially laughed it off, it now appears as though the streamer wants the smoke.

In another streamed tirade earlier this week, he threatened to choke Lil Baby to death.

At the end of the day, it seems like the “Yes Indeed” rapper isn’t really taking all of this too seriously.

Do you think these two will finally squash their beef? Comment down below and make sure to stay tuned to HNHH for the latest updates.
