Producer On 50 Cent’s “BMF” Suspended For Allegedly Threatening Picketers

June 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

A co-producer on 50 Cent’s series BMF has been suspended by Lionsgate. The suspension follows allegations that the producer, Ian Woolf, threatened to hit striking writers with his SUV. According to reports, Woolf made the threat on June 8, allegedly using intimidation to “scare” picketers in Atlanta. Earlier this month, 50 Cent also shared that he himself doesn’t agree with the WGA strike. He claimed that he doesn’t “see it as a positive thing for the writers.”

One of the writers that was allegedly threatened by Woolf, Brian Egeston, spoke out about the incident on Twitter. “Dear Mr. Ian Woolf, Welcome to Atlanta,” Egeston begins the message, “What you did today on Hank Aaron Drive and blocks from the birthplace of Martin Luther King, Jr….was hateful.” He continued, “When you pointed your SUV at me as though it were a weapon and slammed the breaks within six feet of writers, I felt the hate and aggression of scenarios similar to Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd and others who have been harmed at the hands of hate-filled oppressors.”

50 Cent Previously Spoke Out Against The Strike

Egeston continued the message, “As I marched with the WGA in a peaceful protest, similar to the giants who have walked the very streets where you almost committed manslaughter, you chose to—in your own words— ‘Tried to scare you.’” The writer also explains, “Mr. Woolf, this scare and intimidation tactic reeks of German Shepards, water hoses, bricks and burning flesh. It reeks of the worst kind of hate … I would implore you, in hindsight, to consider the ramifications of killing an African-American man in the streets of the city too busy to hate, while being the producer of an African-American TV show, created by an African American man, run by an African-American Man.”

Egeston’s account of the incident has also been corroborated by two other writers, Gabriel Alejandro Garza and Tom Smuts. 50 Cent has not yet publicly commented on the allegations. Lionsgate has also shared a statement pertaining to the recent suspension. “We take acts of intimidation and threats of violence seriously and investigate them thoroughly,” it reads. “As we continue to investigate, we have sent home the individual involved.”

June 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Blueface and Chrisean Rock have been in the news consistently over the past few months. Overall, their relationship is on the rocks, and it is all happening while Rock is pregnant. Moreover, it seems like Blue has rekindled his relationship with his first BM, Jaidyn Alexis. They have been going on a slew of dates, and she even picked him up from jail the other day. As for why Blue was in jail? Well, he had been arrested on felony robbery charges. This all took place while he was in court for a hearing on his attempted murder charge.

Ultimately, this arrest and subsequent charge was a bit of a surprise. However, TMZ now has some reporting on what allegedly went down. As the report details, Blueface, Chrisean Rock, and some friends were at the Palms Hotel in Las Vegas. While out and about, a woman came up to them and told Chrisean how much of a fan she is. Although, she also made it a point to exclaim that she didn’t like Blue. From there, Chrisean allegedly punched her and Blueface allegedly swiped her phone and mocked her.

Blueface Allegations Get Worse

The woman also says she got her phone from Blueface, but things eventually turned a whole lot uglier as she was punched again before falling to the ground. Additionally, she alleges that Blue kicked her while she was down. Hotel surveillance footage seemingly showcases what went down here. Despite all of this, Chrisean Rock has not been arrested for the alleged incident. Meanwhile, Blueface has already been charged all while posting bail.

Overall, this is a situation that is still very much developing right now. Although, it is clear that the drama involving the rapper and his ex, won’t be dying down anytime soon.

Ja Morant’s Gun Was Allegedly Fake But Suspension Still Expected

June 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The fate of Memphis Grizzlies superstar Ja Morant remains unknown. On May 14, Morant was suspended by the Grizzlies after a video of him flashing a gun on Instagram Live went viral. Despite Morant apologizing for the incident, Commissioner Adam Silver expressed “shock” at the video. Furthermore, Silver announced that Morant’s punishment would be withheld until after the NBA Finals.

The incident has completely altered the trajectory of Morant’s career. He has been widely condemned for the incident. Furthermore, police in Tennessee performed a wellness check at Morant’s residence after a cryptic and worrying Instagram post. Elsewhere, Kendrick Perkins suggested that Morant could be better served with a move out of Memphis. Now, Morant’s team is throwing a Hail Mary.

Morant’s Team Claims The Gun Was Fake

Sources within Ja Morant’s camp are claiming that the gun Morant was seen with is in fact fake. These allegations were first reportedly by The Breakfast Club‘s Claudia Jordan. “The relative in the car in the back seat had a toy gun, not real, and was playing around with it and passed it [to Morant] and that got caught on the Live. The NBA has the video and allegedly, the gun looks extremely fake, obviously a toy gun. But according to my source, allegedly, Adam Silver is still going to go through with the suspension, [which is] looking like it’s going to be about 30 games.” However, the news has not been met with much sympathy online. The Breakfast Club panel questioned why the fake gun narrative was only being brought up now.

As previously mentioned, Morant apologized three days after the footage went viral. However, he never previously mentioned the gun being fake or a toy. Furthermore, it’s likely that the news is being leaked in order to try and sway public opinion in favor of Morant. The thinking likely is that public outcry with this new information could say the NBA. However, as many people have noted after the news broke, it doesn’t matter if the gun is fake or not. Morant goaded the NBA with his actions, forcing the league’s hand if they wanted to retain any sort of credibility. At the end of the day, fake or not, Morant is being punished on principle, not because of his specific actions.

Boosie Badazz Wouldn’t Work With Gunna For $1 Billion

June 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Boosie Badazz recently shared in an interview that he wouldn’t even consider collaborating with Gunna for $1 billion. He later reiterated his previous comments about the rapper in his talk with TMZ Hip Hop. This isn’t the first time Boosie’s shared his thoughts on Gunna. Various allegations that Gunna “snitched” on YSL founder Young Thug have been circulating amid the RICO case.

“I don’t want to talk about it,” Boosie said. He thought about it more, claiming, “If you gave me $1 billion…No, I ain’t even gon’ say it. I might incriminate myself. I ain’t even gon’ say what I would do if they gave me $1 billion. What I would do to a rat if they gave me a rat to do business with $1 billion. I don’t wanna incriminate myself, sorry.” He added, “They got a lot of Gunnas in this sewer,” referring to his previous labeling of the rapper as a “rat.” “We in New York City, I see about three Gunnas right now. One just went under the sewer. They all over here.”

Boosie Called Gunna A “Rat”

Boosie previously spoke out about his thoughts on Gunna taking a plea deal in the YSL RICO case. Earlier this week, he appeared on The Big Homies House podcast, where he explained that he doesn’t think there’s much hope left for Gunna’s career. “Gunna might be done unless he go to another country,” he said. “I don’t want no rat to excel. I hope he never sell a record again,” the rapper added.

Boosie isn’t the only one of Gunna’s peers that has spoken out on his plea deal. Lil Durk discussed the situation on DJ Akademiks’ Off the Record podcast in May. “That man told,” he claimed, “You should have went in there and kept your mouth closed.” Durk continued, “If you a rat, you a rat. If you rewind this clip a little bit, I looked into the camera and told you, if you a rat, I f***ing hate you. Because I love Thug.”

SSGKobe Reveals He Was Dropped By His Label Following Sexual Assault Allegations

May 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Back in December, Louisanna artist SSGKobe was accused of sexual assault. A fellow artist by the name of Ka$hkenni accused him of forcing her to have sex with him. Overall, these allegations also came with screenshots from alleged text message conversations. All of this was posted on her Instagram page, although the page was eventually taken down. At the time, SSGKobe tried to clear his name by responding to the situation.

“The picture being painted is not based on facts,” he explained at the time, according to HipHopDX. “I apologize that my desire to not have a long term relationship with someone was not properly communicated by me, resulting in a false resharing of events. I will leave this matter to be further addressed by my legal team.” However, it seems as though things have gotten worse for the young artist. While taking to his Instagram story, SSGKobe revealed that he was dropped by his label.

SSGKobe Speaks

“As far as music goes, I’m currently no longer signed to a label due to the accusations, which is another reason for the delay of drops which is going to change asap,” he explained. “I appreciate the support and love that I have been receiving and I can’t wait to give you guys a project I feel you will love. Have a great day.” Prior to this revelation, he revealed that his team told him not to address the allegations directly. Ultimately, that is why fans haven’t heard from SSGKobe in quite some time.

Overall, there is still a lot that needs to be determined here. It is clear that SSGKobe wants to move on and clear his name. However, the allegations against him remain. That said, it seems like new music is on the way. This is a developing story, so be sure to stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Starr Gyal Accuses Mellow Rackz Of Stealing, Calls Her “The Worst Prostitute In History”: Watch

May 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Mellow Rackz may appear to be living the dream after signing with Young Money a while back, but according to Starr Gyal, looks can be deceiving. The latter starlet took to her Instagram Story this weekend to call the “What I Want” hitmaker out, publicly labelling her “the worst prostitute in history.” Starr went on to savagely say, “You are a disappointment to our ancestors. How the f*ck you f*cking all these rappers and you ain’t even get a song?!”

“So you gotta resort to stealing because yo’ p*ssy can’t get you no… You see my p*ssy get me tings! I ain’t gotta steal and look like a motherf*cking clown! Do better!” the social media starlet continued to lash out at Mellow. Elsewhere on her Story, Starr admitted that others advised her against trusting the Florida native, but she instead relied on her “tendency to see the good in people.” She included receipts of DMs from others who have apparently been victimized by Rackz, as well as the mother of one’s personal message to her after seeing the posts for herself.

Starr Gyal Shares Her Thoughts on Mellow Rackz

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

“Lie to me. Got me for $119K on a car she crashed, $72K in back rent,” one person wrote in a DM to Starr. “Destroyed my house,” they added. “Was lying to me about having a $3M contract. Not including money for shopping for her shows. All lies. In total, she got me for $322K. You should see how she left my house.” Another person claims to have taken Mellow in when she was homeless, resulting in them also being taken advantage of. “If anyone DM you about her owing money, DM me. I need it for my lawyer. So far over 30 people DM me about her stealing,” they urged Starr.

While the Punani artist didn’t share the entire message she received from her new enemy, it obviously begins with an obscenity. “[Please] tell her she can’t afford to DM me!! Stop stealing,” Starr Gyal wrote when sharing a screenshot of the drama. Do you believe the allegations arising against Mellow Rackz? Let us know in the comments, and check back later this weekend for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Two Players Accuse The New York Jets Of Mishandling Injuries

May 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

2023 was all set to be the Year of the New York Jets. They swung a blockbuster trade to bring Aaron Rodgers to MetLife Stadium. That launched them right into playoff contention. Around Rodgers was a young, exciting core of players who could turn the long-ailing franchise into a perennial contender.

However, there has been trouble bubbling under the surface for some time. First, there was Denzel Mims, the intriguing 2020 rookie who became a terrible sophomore receiver and then beefed with the team with his lack of playing time. Then there’s the fact that O-Line cornerstone Quinnen Williams has removed the team name from his Twitter bio amid tense contract discussions. Now, much more serious claims have emerged.

Mekhi Becton and Ty Johnson Accuse Jets of Mishandling Injuries

Two players have both come out with bombshell claims that the New York Jets mishandled injuries sustained by the players. The first claim came from running back Ty Johnson. A sixth-round pick by the Lions in 2019, Johnson joined the Jets in 2020. However, Johnson was waived earlier in 2023 after sustaining a torn pectoral during non-team workouts. After telling the Jets’ medical staff, Johnson claims he was pressured into undergoing surgery. After eventually agreeing to the procedure, Johnson was cut just days later. As a result, Johnson believes that this has negatively affected his chances to sign with a new team.

One day later (May 22), offensive tackle Mekhi Becton came forward with similar claims. While Becton is still on the team, he has put the medical staff on blast. His claims dated back to a position change ahead of the 2022 season. “I got forced to play a position I don’t play, and then I was pretty much telling them I wasn’t feeling good the whole time throughout camp, and I was told I shouldn’t be complaining,” Becton said. “Go out there and do it. I was limping throughout the whole practice, and I just took a step and my knee buckled and I got hurt again and had to get reconstructive surgery.” The Jets have not responded to either allegation but especially given that Becton is still with the team, it’s still to be a very tense period in New York.

Shy Glizzy Allegedly Threatened To Kill His Ex-Girlfriend

May 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Model Amaya Colon, ex-girlfriend of D.C. rapper Shy Glizzy, has made some serious claims about his behavior in her request for a restraining order. Colon alleges that Glizzy has been making threats against her and her family ever since their breakup. She told the judge Glizzy threatened to kill her, sending her a text saying, “Ima f*** ya life up.” According to Colon, the two of them started dating at the end of last year. She cites Glizzy’s “anger issues” as the reason for their April split. In court documents, Colon alleges that Glizzy followed her while she was driving in Los Angeles. She claims that after stopping at a red light, Glizzy approached her and began to bang on her car with a gun. After driving away, she says Glizzy continued following her, trying to run her off the road, and causing a collision.

He was arrested only weeks after their breakup for allegedly threatening the model. The arrest took place on May 13, when Colon claims Glizzy pulled a gun and made threats towards her on a public street in West Hollywood. The rapper reportedly “took off” after the incident, and police were able to track him down later that day. He was arrested on a felony charge of making criminal threats, and released after four hours on a bond of $50,000. Glizzy denied the charges, and police did not find a gun on him during the arrest. A video of the rapper’s detainment appeared online shortly after the incident. The video shows police surrounding Glizzy and his manager at gunpoint.

Shy Glizzy’s Arrest

Shy Glizzy claimed that he’s innocent of all accusations made against him earlier this week on Instagram. He shared an Instagram Story where he says, “The accusations made against me are completely false.” He went on to claim, “I would never in my life pull a weapon or harm a female in any way so stop with the BS allegations!” The rapper then asked, “What is wrong with ppl?”

Earlier this year, OnlyFans creator Sky Bri appeared in an interview with No Jumper, where she accused Shy Glizzy of sexual misconduct. She claimed that during a music video shoot, Glizzy made her take an unknown pill. She also accused him of trying to force her to perform oral sex on him. His associate, Ant Glizzy, later responded to Bri’s claims in an Instagram Live. He said, “I told y’all he spikes [women’s drinks].” Adding, “He been doing this shit for 15 years on GQ. Like, any girl that ever drunk with the Glizzy Gang at a club or at a table, you was extra drunk. All you gotta do is ask him.”

Shy Glizzy Denies Threatening Girlfriend Following Recent Arrest

May 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Shy Glizzy has denied any wrongdoing after being arrested in West Hollywood, California, earlier this week. According to TMZ, the rapper was involved in a verbal altercation with his girlfriend, during which he pulled out a firearm and threatened the woman. Glizzy denied the accusations in a statement on his Instagram Story, Wednesday.

“The accusations made against me are completely false,” Glizzy wrote on his profile. “I would never in my life pull a weapon or harm a female in any way so stop with the BS allegations! What is wrong with ppl?”

The arrest comes after OnlyFans model Ski Bri accused Glizzy of acting “sketchy” during a shoot for one of his music videos. She claimed that, at one point, Glizzy pressured her to perform oral sex. “I was getting ready to leave and he comes in and he pulls me onto the bed and I look down and his dick is out,” Sky Bri recalled at the time. “And he’s like, ‘Suck it.’ And I said no and he’s like, ‘Lick it,’ and I said no and he said, ‘Then you’re fine with not getting paid?’ And I said yeah and I just got up and went downstairs and got the director.”

Glizzy denied those allegations during an appearance on Akademiks’ Off The Record podcast soon afterward. “I ain’t got no relationship with her. What type of relationship am I supposed to have with her?” Glizzy said of the accusation. “I’m an artist; is it my job to pay motherfuckas? I come on set just how everyone else come on the motherfuckin’ set. That ain’t my motherfuckin’ job.”

It’s not true. I don’t even know where a n***a like that… I’ve been in this shit too long. You ain’t never heard no shit like that about me. I’m a player.” Check out Glizzy’s new statement on his arrest above.
