Drake Questioned For His Proximity To Model While She Was Underage, Fans Debate Veracity

May 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The predator and sex trafficking claims against Drake, now ignited by Kendrick Lamar’s diss tracks, are all unverified and speculative at this point. With little response to this on Drizzy’s part and some social media sleuthing, though, many fans are concluding (again, speculatively) that this is all at least not a very good look. Moreover, one of the reasons why is the Toronto icon’s alleged relationship with model Bella Harris, whom he met when she was 16 and bought out an entire restaurant for dinner for when she was 18. The TikTok clip below details these allegations a bit more specifically, and as you might see in the post’s comments section, you will see that this isn’t the only accusation of this in his life and career.

However, in that comments section, you will also find many pointing out that Harris already reportedly denied that she and Drake ever dated. Other folks claimed that she had more pictures with him that she deleted, and some think that this is all too creepy and suggestive regardless of whether those heftier claims are true. No matter whose side you’re on, as DJ Akademiks and Joe Budden recently proved, everyone acknowledges that there’s an immense amount of pressure on the 6ix God. The same is true for Kendrick Lamar, whom Drizzy hit with domestic violence claims, but he seems to be keeping the pressure on his opponent before hopefully addressing that.

Drake’s Past Grooming (And Possibly Debunked) Claims Resurfacing Amid Kendrick Lamar Beef

Overall, this whole beef got really nasty when “Family Matters” and “meet the grahams” dropped… all for us to learn with “Not Like Us” that that it’s all part of the narrative. That’s not to diminish either artist: it’s to suggest that what we thought were nuclear bombs might have just been artillery fire, at least in Kendrick Lamar’s case. We still don’t know whether Drake has pushed or will push a red button. But once this rap beef goes away, all the allegations remain if there isn’t anything significant to debunk them.

Meanwhile, even Metro Boomin is getting in on the success of “Not Like Us” (albeit in a sidelined homophobic manner), dropping a new “diss beat” for folks to rap over. Drake and Kendrick Lamar have been playing dirty this week, but the culture and community at large hasn’t lost sight of the “rap beef’ element of this. Is that a valid angle to assume amid these claims? Again, rap beef is one thing, but they both have a lot to lose if either’s dirt on the other is even close to what they allege.

Jeezy Accuses Jeannie Mai Of Seeking Revenge Because He Didn’t Want Another Child

May 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In September of last year, Jeezy filed for divorce from his now-estranged wife Jeannie Mai after two years of marriage. Unfortunately, things have become “increasingly contentious” in the months since. Just last week, Mai accused the rapper of domestic violence and child neglect. In court documents obtained by The Shade Room, the TV personality alleged that she was pushed down a flight of stairs, struck in the face, and more. She also alleges that their one-year-old daughter Monaco was left alone with a gun, putting her at serious risk.

These allegations came out amid their ongoing custody battle over the child, and Jeezy has since denied them. “The allegations are not only false, but also deeply disturbing, especially coming from someone I loved,” he said in a statement. “It’s disheartening to witness the manipulation and deceit at play and at this time my main concern is being an active father to our daughter as I continue to fight for court-mandated joint custody.”

Jeezy Fires Back Amid Estranged Wife Jeannie Mai’s Allegations

Now, Jeezy is firing back, accusing Mai of seeking revenge because he didn’t want to have a second child with her. In court documents obtained by TMZ, he alleges that after he notified her of his plans to file for divorce, she went to IVF specialists in hopes of getting pregnant. He claims that he didn’t approve of this, but accuses her of going through with it regardless.

Jeezy also alleges that between the two of them, Mai was the volatile and violent one in their relationship. Mai has yet to respond to these allegations. What do you think of Jeezy claiming that his estranged wife Jeannie Mai was determined to have a second child? What about her accusing him of domestic violence and child neglect?

Hazel-E Accuses Ray J Of Setting Her Up For Masika Kalysha Fight

May 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Hazel-E and Masika Kalysha have had their fair share of disagreements in the past, but it looks like a recent and alleged one might’ve caught them by surprise even with their history. Well, we at least know that one of the parties feels that way, and she’s demanding answers. Moreover, Hazel recently went on Instagram Live to claim that Ray J set her up for a pool fight with Masika, which was then interrupted by a man who tried to calm her down and explain the situation. It’s unclear exactly who this is, although the entertainment figure suggested that this is one of Ray’s managers.

Furthermore, these are all still accusations at the end of the day, none of which saw confirmation or denial by other sources at press time. Whoever this mystery man is, though, he tried to explain to Hazel-E that he and Ray J did their part to seemingly try to rein in Masika Kalysha’s behavior. It all seems like a pretty complicated web for unknown reasons, but there’s actually some bizarre connections here that date circumstances like this back a couple of years, at least. Back around August of 2022, Masika sued Hazel and the Zeus Network over an alleged brawl for $6 million.

Meanwhile, even Ray J himself has some more tea to handle when it comes to the rift between Hazel-E and Masika Kalysha. For example, Masika asked Ray if he regrets having relations with Hazel “decades ago,” and he pretty much ducked the question. There’s clearly a lot of tension here that kept its fire and animosity for years at this point. Hopefully the next time that they meet, everyone is exactly on the same page as to what would go down.

Aside from the Hazel-E and Masika Kalysha situation, Ray J caused some more stir recently with headlines wholly of his own doing. He recently admitted that his face tattoos, which prompted a lot of concerned conversations, were fake. When it comes to that saga, it’s unclear how much of it is engagement baiting and how much of it was genuine. But maybe all these situations blur the line between those just a little too much.

John Legend Served In Connection To L.A. Reid Alleged Sexual Assault Lawsuit

May 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

John Legend has found himself roped into the lawsuit against music executive L.A. Reid for alleged sexual assault. For those unaware, former Arista Records employee Drew Dixon accused her former boss of two instances of the crime via a suit filed in November of 2023 under New York’s Adult Survivors Act right before the statute of limitations for this extension ended. In an exclusive AllHipHop report, the latest development in this case is that, according to court documents the publication reportedly obtained, Dixon served John Legend with a notice of deposition, as authorities apparently listed him as a witness in a discovery status report filed on Wednesday (May 1) in New York.

“On April 30, 2024, Plaintiff served notices of depositions for the following witnesses: Nichelle Devaille (deposition set for May 7, 2024); Karen Kwak (May 20, 2024); Roy Lott (June 20, 2024); and John Stephens p/k/a John Legend (June 24, 2024),” the third discovery report supposedly read in this civil case. At press time, the singer hasn’t publicly responded to these claims, the lawsuit, or the notice. It’s unclear whether he will actually have to participate in this trial or if it’s just for some questions. Either way, it’s definitely an escalation.

“Following the second sexual assault in Mr. Reid’s car, Ms. Dixon intensified her efforts to avoid Mr. Reid,” Drew Dixon’s attorneys shared in writing concerning the case against L.A. Reid’s alleged assault. “However, Mr. Reid persisted in trying to corner her alone by inviting her to meetings in his hotel room night after night. When Ms. Dixon resisted his efforts, Mr. Reid grew angry and increasingly hostile towards her, as well as to her artists, and her ideas. This was a drastic reversal from Mr. Reid’s enthusiasm about her creative taste and instincts over the years, and harm came from the fact that Mr. Reid would directly respond to Ms. Dixon’s rejection of his sexual advances by punishing the artists Ms. Dixon had already signed or by blocking the artists she attempted to sign. This included future superstars like Kanye West, John Legend and Toya.

Furthermore, Dixon accused L.A. Reid of sexual battery, infliction of emotional distress driven by intent, violence motivated by gender, and false imprisonment. Following a settlement conference in March, both parties have another scheduled for June 25. While Dixon’s legal team did not need more time to complete discovery, Reid’s did. “With regard to discovery as a whole, Defendant notes that this case presents unusual challenges given that it has been commenced more than two decades after the alleged wrongs,” his lawyers shared. “As a result, additional time has been and will be required to locate witnesses and documents, and Defendant anticipates that some witnesses and documents may ultimately be unavailable due to the passage of time.”

Ice Spice’s Alleged Ex-Friend Accuses Drake Of Being A “Raging Predator”

May 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last week, an artist who goes by Baby Storme hopped online to “expose” her alleged ex-bestie, Ice Spice. She accused the femcee of colorism, cheating, and more. The concerning and unconfirmed allegations didn’t stop there, however. Earlier today, she took aim at Drake, accusing him of being a “raging predator.” According to her, Drake allegedly tried to sleep with Ice Spice under the guise of wanting her to sign to OVO Sound.

“Something a lot of people don’t know about @Drake is: just like Epstein, Weinstein, and Schneider, Aubrey Graham is a raging predator. He was trying to f*ck Isis when she was 22 years old til now, but disguised it as wanting to sign her to Ovo. He even offered to propose. The only women he can get are young girls who don’t know any better & pornstars. (hence why the mother of his child is a pornstar.) He sold his soul, & his life is ruined. That is not a happy man. And it shows,” Baby Storme alleged.

Almost immediately, Baby Storme received pushback from commenters, who reminded her that Ice Spice is of age. In response, she clarified that she was accusing him of sexual coercion, alleging that he used his position of power to indirectly pressure the “Deli” performer into sleeping with him. “Yes, this is called Sexual Coercion,” she said. “When you’re in a position of power, so you can pressure women into having sex indirectly. Same thing Scheinder, Epstein, & Weinstein did. And there’s one thing all of these people have in common. But i’ll say no more.”

NBA YoungBoy Receives New Charges In Fraud & Gun Case

May 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

NBA YoungBoy just received some more charges added to his fraud and gun possession case, which currently has him reportedly in federal custody without bail. Moreover, according to KUTV, he received another felony charge of firearm possession as a restricted individual, as well as two more counts of obtaining prescription drugs through fraudulent means. For those unaware, authorities arrested the Baton Rouge rapper in Utah earlier in April, and he received 63 initial charges related to an alleged fraud scheme in which he supposedly faked doctors’ prescription in order to obtain drugs. Given his previous legal circumstances regarding house arrest in Utah and the severity of these claims and of the arrest, it’s no surprise that he hasn’t addressed any of this in any significant capacity.

Furthermore, YoungBoy will reportedly await the outcome of this, and of his previous gun possession charge in Louisiana, in his hometown of Baton Rouge. Police reportedly sent him back there after this recent arrest, which will surely impact his previous open case in some way or another. However, it’s unclear what the overlap could be between these circumstances, and whether it would be possible to pursue just one before getting into another. Either way, it seems like a very difficult uphill battle, and one that might determine the next few years of this career trajectory.

YoungBoy Reportedly Hit With More Charges Of Fraud & Gun Possession

KUTV reports that new charges were filed against Youngboy. He now faces another possession of a firearm by a restricted person felony charge and two counts of fraudulently obtaining a prescription.

Elsewhere, apparently this is what tipped off pharmacists and police about YoungBoy’s alleged crimes, including him and (supposedly) members of his crew impersonating doctors like one Gwendolyn Cox. “‘Gwendolyn’ sounded as though she was a much younger male from the Southern states,” a probable cause affidavit from Cache County read. “Gwendolyn made a statement. ‘Well, I axed her to and she said that she’ll have you call me.’ This statement was a response to a request that was made to have ‘Gwendolyn’ contact Dispatch and have them transfer her call back through. … (I have) lived in the Southern United States. The terminology in replacing the word ‘ask’ with ‘ax’ or other variations is consistent with a Southern dialect in states such as Texas, Louisiana, Georgia and other southern states.”

“Usually, you don’t get a doctor calling in a cough syrup themselves,” pharmacist Erik Stewart told KUTV of a call from a number that didn’t match with the registered doctor’s office. “That’ll be, like, a nurse or something. But then, just their medical terminology was off [on] the quantities,” he told KUTV. “The way they pronounced the things… everything was suspicious.” For more news and updates on the YoungBoy case, keep checking in with HNHH.

Russell Simmons Accused Of Forgery In Alleged Sexual Assault Case

May 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Russell Simmons has been accused of sexual assault by 20 women and received multiple lawsuits on the matter since 2017, one of which just took an interesting turn. Moreover, according to an exclusive AllHipHop report, a lawsuit from a Jane Doe claims that he forged her signature on a document settling their dispute over her accusations that he sexually assaulted her. Doe is reportedly a former Def Jam employee, and court documents allege that she felt appalled with the label’s co-founder’s response to her allegations, which she believes insufficiently address the weight of his alleged actions. He only gave a vague apology after November of 2023, when he learned of potential legal action through the Adult Survivors Act, court docs maintain.

Furthermore, during this legal process, a document from three decades ago emerged that supposedly settled their lawsuit in writing. However, due to factors like handwriting and the company letterhead, Jane Doe claimed that this document is fake and that Russell Simmons forged her signature on it. “The document is an Adobe pdf file titled ‘Agreement – Jane Doe v. Russell Simmons,’ although the words ‘[Doe] – Executed Document.pdf’ also appear in the body of the file at the top of each page,” court docs read. “The metadata for the file states ‘Created: March 24, 2024.’ The document is dated ‘January 9, 1997’ at the top of each page, but states ‘[Jane Doe] 1-6-97′ at the bottom of each page.”

As such, Jane Doe denies signing the document and alleged that it’s a falsehood. Also, she argued that even if this is a real document, it only covers her Def Jam exit and small financial considerations, not the actual accusation of sexual assault against Russell Simmons. With this in mind, plus his post-“settlement” behavior which allegedly includes various instances of confrontation, puts the document’s authenticity into question. While Doe’s legal team continues to argue against the document’s validity, it wouldn’t completely close the door if it’s legitimate paperwork.

Meanwhile, Jane Doe requests “general, punitive and economic damages for loss of employment, loss of business opportunities, [and] loss of wages” in this case. In addition, she wants Russell Simmons to compensate her “for injuries suffered as a result of the unlawful conduct alleged herein.” We’ll see what this means for the development of this and other cases as a whole. As for Simmons, he’s completely denied any and all accusations, standing behind his nine lie detector tests as proof of his innocence.

50 Cent Uses Eminem To Troll Diddy With Latest Jokes

May 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent shared an edited video of a scene from Rush Hour 2 that was captioned: “When Diddy tried to buy 50 Cent some clothes” on Instagram, on Tuesday night. In the video, Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker’s characters are replaced by 50 and Eminem while Jeremy Piven appears to be Diddy. Piven’s character attempts to touch Tucker near the waist in the video.

“This really how sh*t be going down! LOL,” 50 captioned the post. Fans basked in laughter in the comments section. “LMAO. Please don’t delete this one. Imma come back here when I want a laugh,” one user wrote. Others left countless laughing emojis.

The post is one of many seemingly endless jokes 50 has been making at Diddy’s expense as the Bad Boy mogul faces several lawsuits. The trolling reached a new level after Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones Jr.’s claims brought rumors about Diddy’s sexuality into play. 50 has even confirmed plans to work on a documentary about the allegations. The drama all began when Cassie filed a lawsuit against him, last year, accusing him of subjecting her to a “cycle of abuse, violence, and sex trafficking.” The two settled the case just a day after filing. In the months since, several more alleged victims have come forward with stories about Diddy of their own.

Suge Knight Admits Diddy Allegations Are Bad For Hip-Hop: “It Makes Us All Look Bad”

April 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Suge Knight says he was disappointed when he learned of the allegations against his long-time rival, Diddy. Speaking with Harvey Levin for TMZ’s new The Downfall of Diddy special on Tubi, the co-founder of Death Row Records explained why he wasn’t celebrating when he learned of the lawsuits Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones Jr., Cassie, and more filed against the Bad Boy mogul.

“My first reaction, it’s not the reaction I thought I would have when it came to Puffy,” Knight said, as noted by Complex. “I thought it’d be a reaction like he got what he got coming because everybody know what’s been going on. My reaction was actually different because I felt like, damn. The first thing that came to my mind was he has his sons, he has his daughters. My reaction was first about the kids. The thing is, I feel it’s a bad day for hip-hop, a bad day for the culture. Because it makes us all look bad.”

When Harvey Levin appeared surprised about Knight’s reaction, he explained he doesn’t enjoy watching his enemies’ downfall. “I’m not the type of guy to cheer for people’s downfall,” he added. “If somebody gets killed or something happens to them, I’m not gonna pop champagne bottles. If I have a problem with Puffy, that’s for him and I to sit down in a room and resolve it. So for the tragedy on both sides, to the victims to him, that’s definitely not nothing to cheer about.” Check out the trailer for TMZ’s The Downfall of Diddy below.

Diddy Gave Artists Publishing Rights In Exchange For Silence, Aubrey O’Day Alleges

April 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Aubrey O’Day has been a vocal critic of Diddy for years now, and in a recent interview, she made even more shocking allegations against the mogul. The interview was conducted for TMZ‘s new documentary, The Downfall of Diddy, which is set to premiere on Tubi today (April 28). During her conversation with the outlet, the Danity Kane performer discussed Diddy giving all of his artists rights to their old music. According to her, she speculated that something was suspicious back in September when it happened, and is glad she didn’t agree.

Allegedly, Diddy had artists sign NDAs as part of the deal, preventing them from speaking out about their experiences at Bad Boy Records. Moreover, O’Day claims that the amount she’d get in exchange for not sharing her story was wildly low, just a few cents over $300. Nowadays, considering all of the legal tro uble he’s dealing with, she’s surely more grateful than ever that she turned it down.

Aubrey O’Day Discusses Diddy In New TMZ Doc

Aubrey O’Day has been raising red flags when it comes to Puff for a long time now, and claims that she has a lot of alleged dirt on the mogul. After her ex Donald Trump Jr. discussed Diddy during his interview with DJ Akademiks, she was sure to remind her followers of that on Twitter/X. Trump Jr. alleged that an ex-partner of his told him Kim Porter was afraid of Diddy before her death.

“Just to be clear.. my long term EX @DonaldJTrumpJr went on @Akademiks to discuss my EX boss diddy & the conspiracies behind Kim Porter’s death,” she wrote. “I keep telling you all.. I am in the CENTER of REALLY knowing ALL the information, and ALWAYS have been. […] The EXpose hasn’t even STARTED.” What do you think of Aubrey O’Day accusing Diddy of offering artists publishing rights in exchange for silence? Are you looking forward to hearing what else she has to say in TMZ‘s doc, The Downfall of Diddy? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
