Conor McGregor Reveals He’s Going To Fight Logan Paul And Fans Are Flabbergasted

December 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Conor McGregor is NOT going to take on an MMA fighter for his next match. Instead, he’s getting into the boxing ring and will face Logan Paul. The Irish featherweight and lightweight champion made the announcement on his Twitter (X) account early this morning, with Bleacher Report confirming it. He laid out his current plan of attack going forward, while also debunking some previous reports. “The rumors of a bout with topurio are false. I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India.” He continues, “I have agreed. I will then seek my return to the Octagon.”

For those who aren’t in the know, Ilia Topuria is who he was referring to. There had been numerous reports that the megastar was maybe going to go to head-to-head with the current UFC featherweight champion. However, Topuria didn’t seem too interested in taking on Conor, recently tweeting, “The rumors of bout with mchicken are false. I don’t fight nor am I interested in fighting with a rapist.” He made this jab following his sexual assault lawsuit stemming from a 2018 incident.

Fans Don’t Seem So Happy About Conor McGregor’s Next Move

The rumors of a bout with topurio are false. I am in preliminary agreements with the Ambani family to face Logan Paul in a boxing exhibition in India.
I have agreed.
I will then seek my return to the Octagon.

— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) December 17, 2024

It seems the fight will take place next year, but there is not a concrete date yet. Overall, fans are quite stunned and a little upset, to say the least. “Please be trolling” one X user wrote in response to the reveal. “Went from double champ to Logan Paul. Officially off the train lol,” another adds. The shock levels might also be a little high because Jake Paul was talking mad trash to McGregor online before this.

Following his controversial win against Mike Tyson last month, he challenged the 36-year-old. “Dear Conor, I know you told my team you would fight me at 170lbs. That’s never happening. But let’s run it in MMA. No weight class. Just like how it used to be done. But you won’t.” Well, for what it’s worth, at least he’s fighting your brother?

Orlando Brown & His Wife Reveal They Are Expecting A Third Child

December 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Major congratulations are in order for actor Orlando Brown and his wife Danielle Brown! According to The Shade Room, the couple is expecting their third child! They have been together for just about four full years now and already have two kids. Frankie, their son, was the first to arrive, followed by their daughter, Annie, earlier this year. Danielle is has additional children outside of their marriage, though, so she’s going to kill it with this one! She and Orlando made the announcement via a joint livestream with their fans on TikTok. It’s also on their YouTube channel if you want to check it out there as well.

It did take a second for them to share the bombshell news, as they were commenting on the food they were eating at a restaurant. But Orlando finally let the cat out of the bag. “For all y’all that didn’t know my wife is pregnant. Pregnant, pregnant, pregnant. Yeah we going holiday shopping.” Danielle made sure give everyone an inside scoop of exactly how far along she is. She says it’s been three months, or 11 weeks to be more technical.

Fans were excited for the news, with one commenting on how much she adores Danielle. “Awwww, she’s a strong woman. I tell u that much!” However, there were also some who were just completely floored. “Second child?! Wife?! Orlando lol” “He’s married?! AND dad already?!!! ”

Furthermore, there was quite a lot of chatter surrounding Orlando’s behavior in the video. For those who don’t know, the multi-talent has built up a reputation of being sort of an unhinged goof online. For example, he was acting out of control during a recent livestream with Deshae Frost and claiming that Nick Cannon “sucked [his] d*ck.” Some were even bringing up his past addictions as reasons for this. However, he is an actor and comedian at the end of the day, which many pointed out in his defense. “People, he’s an actor.. You really thought he was actually crazy?? lol ” one person sums up. Hopefully, Orlando and Danielle are blocking out the news and enjoying this exciting journey together!

Playboi Carti Claims He’ll Perform “I Am Music” At Rolling Loud, But Can He Be Trusted?

November 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Playboi Carti might be the most frustrating and recluse hip-hop/rap adjacent artist going today. There are others such as A$AP Rocky and Frank Ocean. But despite this fact, he remains to be one of the most listened to MCs year in and year out. In that same breath though, he can only keep walking that fine line before fans tap out. They will still revisit his catalog, no doubt. He possesses some of the biggest hits, especially over the five years. But given the social environment we are inhabiting right now, people want you to update your resume consistently and he just hasn’t done that.

With that said, Playboi Carti has a great chance to at least suppress the noise with I Am Music. It’s hard to gauge even just a rough estimate of when it will drop, but this update could be very telling. Just several hours ago, the Georgia native himself announced on his IG burner account, opium_00pium, that he will be performing the elusive project at Rolling Loud Miami, which is celebrating its tenth anniversary. The music festival begins December 13 and will run through the 15th. Future is the main attraction on day one, followed by Travis Scott, and then Carti.

Does This Playboi Carti Update Move You?

“MIAMI TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY… I AM MUSIC WILL B PLAYED… KANT WAIT TO SEE YAL MFS NAH FR,” he writes with visible excitement. Earlier we said it could tone done the angry mob, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. His comments section is filled with doubt, with one writing, “I AM MUSIC WILL BE PLAYED” jordan we know you dawg.”

Another goes, “He ain’t dropping or showing up to anything I fear.” Some are even open to the idea of the album being leaked early. “Can someone leak his album already? We’re tired of the games.” With patience running thin, the pressure is on Carti. There’s a really good chance that he plays just a few snippets and if he does, we aren’t sure that is going to be enough. Fans want the album, and the question now is, “How will he respond?”

Playboi Carti Finally Announces New Music This Friday… And Absolutely No One Is Fooled

November 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Playboi Carti graces fans with not one, but two festival performances this weekend, which is basically like getting a whole rollout from him. He closed out the second day of Tyler, The Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw carnival and festival on Sunday (November 17), and the day before, he performed at Complex Con in Las Vegas. As such, a lot of people found plenty of news to talk about from the Atlanta creative, whether the new music he teased during these shows, his special guests during the performances, or some alleged scuffles with fans in their aftermath. And it looks like he knows all this hype as well, because he felt comfortable enough to lie to our faces again.

Moreover, Playboi Carti announced that he will be dropping new music on Friday via his alternate Instagram account, posting a text message exchange with a mystery individual. Of course, everyone is highly skeptical of this, given just how much he teased his new album, release dates, next moves, and much more only to never follow up on these promises. So we won’t believe this until we see it. Not even Carti’s contribution to “Thought I Was Dead” fully manifested all the way…

Playboi Carti Excites Delusional Fans With New Music Announcement

Jokes aside, we obviously still can’t wait for whatever Playboi Carti does next, whether that’s a presumed new single this Friday, official drops of his previous IG-only 2024 material, or the long-awaited release of the new album. It’s been almost four full years since Whole Lotta Red, and fans are so desperate for what’s next. At least we also got some more positive news from the Opium camp these days, such as a seemingly squashed beef with LUCKI.

In any case, the “Timeless” collaborator is one of hip-hop’s leaders right now, so it’s kind of frustrating when he makes promises that he can’t keep. He might not be the one to blame for each instance of this, but he kept this up so long that fans started to lose their good faith. But Playboi Carti hasn’t broken his promise to drop this Friday, November 22… yet. So let’s see what happens!

J Cole Announces Candid New Audio Series, “Inevitable”

November 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

J Cole has announced a new “audio series” titled Inevitable that will take listeners on an “unfiltered voyage” through the iconic rapper’s career. In conversations with Ibrahim Hamad and Scott Lazer, he will reflect on both released and unreleased music while detailing his journey. Cole shared a trailer for the project on social media on Sunday night.

“I got so much clarity from it, and I understood more than ever the power of having a dream, the power of fueling that dream with strong vision, the magic that happens when we stay in alignment with God, and the darkness that can come in the times that we don’t,” Cole said of the experience in a follow-up post on X (formerly Twitter).

He also admitted he was originally hesitant to put the series out. “As the years of my career grew I found myself much more hesitant to share details of my life with the world. Even as I type this, I feel the last little bit of resistance. ‘You sure you want to do this?’ But if I was a younger version of myself, I know that I would get so much fuel from hearing this from somebody that went for theirs and ‘made it,’” he wrote. “For that reason, I think it’s worth sharing. So, if you rocked with me at any point so far on my journey, I hope this will give you even more perspective and fill in a lot of blanks. If you have your own dream in life that you hope to achieve, in any field, I hope that this will feed your spirit, giving you confidence to believe in that dream and the encouragement to push through the tough times. To go for it even when you may be afraid to.”

J Cole Announces “Inevitable”

Inevitable will be available for fans to check out on Monday at 6:00 PM, EST. The announcement comes as fans continue to wait for Cole’s highly-anticipated seventh studio album, The Fall Off. Check out J Cole’s full announcement for Inevitable below.

Kanye West Announces New Solo Album “Bully”

September 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

During his recent performance in China, Kanye West took the opportunity to announce that he has more new music on the way. According to the Chicago MC, he’s working on a solo album called Bully. It’s unclear exactly when fans can expect to hear it in full, though he did give them a taste of what’s to come. He played one new song from the album during the show, “BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.”

Of course, Ye’s latest announcement has social media users split. While some can’t wait to hear what else he’s been cooking up, others don’t have high expectations. Many are also curious about what this means for the next volume of Vultures with Ty Dolla Sign.

Kanye West Teases New Music At Latest China Show

Ye’s latest announcement doesn’t come entirely out of left field either, as earlier this month, leaked text messages with Digital Nas suggested that he was locked in. In the texts, the producer praised something Ye sent him and encouraged him to do whatever it took to get it onto streaming platforms. “F*cking insane bro,” Digital Nas said at the time. “I’m having chills rn listening.” In response, Kanye declared that he’s “going into [his] full Ye art studio mode.”

As for what else Ye has been up to outside of music, he recently closed a deal on his Malibu mansion. He sold the property, which he previously planned to transform into a bomb shelter, for $21 million. He first purchased the oceanfront mansion in 2021 for roughly $57.3 million. It’s been sold to Belwood Investments, a “real estate crowdfunding firm,” according to TMZ. What do you think of Kanye West announcing a new solo album, Bully, during his show in China? Are you looking forward to it? What do you think of his song “Beauty And The Beast”? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
