Aries Spears Calls Out DJ Vlad: “Stop Thinking You Know More Sh*t About Black Culture Than Black People”

October 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Aries Spears confronted DJ Vlad while speaking with him for a recent interview, telling the VladTV CEO to stay out of Black culture. The argument began while discussing the current state of hip-hop with Spears not being a fan and Vlad defending it. Vlad noted that hip-hop wasn’t a top genre in the 1990s, prompting a disagreement. Eventually, Vlad realized he was incorrect.

“Apologize to me n***a. Stop thinking you know more shit about Black culture than Black people!” Spears screamed at Vlad. “You know your facts like you would know your rhythm n***a. Fuck outta here.” From there, Vlad clarified that hip-hop became the top-selling genre by 1999. “Don’t you ever say another word to me,” Spears said while describing Vlad as a “troll.”

His spat with Spears isn’t the only issue that Vlad has had in recent days. Last week, he released a lengthy statement condemning Drake and DJ Khaled on Twitter. He was upset about the artists’ silence on the conflict in Israel and Palestine. While he defended the current generation of rappers with Spears, he took a different take during the previous statement.

On their silence, he theorized: “It’s because both are so thirsty to maintain their relevance that they wouldn’t dare risk insulting a segment of their fanbase. Heaven forbid that Drake might debut at #2 behind Taylor Swift because some of his Palestinian fans chose to not stream his album. And it would be the end of the world if Khaled sold a few less sneakers because some Jewish people decided not to buy his Jordans. That’s the difference between artists of today and timeless legends like 2Pac. You know damn well Pac would be the first one to speak out about something so close to home.”

Aries Spears And DJ Vlad Argue About Nepo Babies

August 13, 2023 by newhiphopnews

During a recent interview with VladTV, Aries Spears shared his thoughts on nepo babies. The term has been thrown around a lot lately, referring to the children of wealthy or celebrity parents. Nepo babies are pretty controversial, with a lot of them receiving hate for the privileges they have. Though some nepo babies really do work to carve their own paths, the advantages they have in doing so tend to put people off. Some famous examples include the Kardashian/Jenner sisters, Lily-Rose Depp, and Hailey Bieber. Bieber even made headlines earlier this year for leaning into the stereotype, wearing a t-shirt reading “nepo baby.”

DJ Vlad and Spears got into a bit of a debate on the whole concept, with DJ Vlad claiming that being a nepo baby doesn’t guarantee someone anything. Spears agrees on some level, however, he thinks they have far more advantages than most. “It doesn’t guarantee you a role,” DJ Vlad says. “No, it doesn’t guarantee you a role but it does allow you to skip the line,” Spears notes.

Aries Spears On Nepo Babies

When DJ Vlad says “possibly,” Spears argues his case. “No, it’s no ‘possibly’ about it,” he explains. “A lot of people can’t even get to the front door.” He says that for a lot of people, the massive sacrifices they make in order to pursue their dreams can be frightening. The comedian describes how after dedicating themselves to their craft they still have to worry about feeding their family, paying bills, and constantly having an alternative plan, as their success is never guaranteed.

Spears emphasizes the stark contrast between this and the path of a nepo baby, who will always have something to fall back on. “When you try to make a life for yourself and complete a dream that you’ve always had for yourself and pay the mortgage, and the rent, and the bills, and keep the lights on, and feed your kids and this is your heart, your soul? That matters to you.”

Tiffany Haddish Accused Of Defamation In Second Lawsuit Filed By Former Friend

August 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Tiffany Haddish has been a controversial figure in the past for many reasons. Now, she and fellow comedian Aries Spears are being sued by a former friend. According to All Hip Hop, the civil suit was filed by a woman named Tirzah Morris. It alleges that the pair defamed her after she filed a similar lawsuit last year. The 2022 lawsuit related to Haddish and Spears allegedly having Morris’ children, who were underage at the time, performing sexual acts as part of a comedy skit. Both Haddish and Spears have denied the allegations repeatedly.

Morris has reported that she and Tiffany Haddish were friends from 2011 until 2020 and that’s the timeline she uses as the lawsuits bassline. Among the claims the suit makes are that Haddish “groomed and solicited” the children to “perform in, film, record, publish and distribute sexually inappropriate.” The performances were reportedly given for comedic skits that Haddish and Spears produced though they’ve specifically denied that allegation as well. Haddish’s lawyer gave a response to the original 2022 lawsuit that stated “Plaintiff’s mother, Trizah Morris, has been trying to assert these bogus claims against Ms. Haddish for several years.”

Tiffany Haddish Faces New Defamation Suit

Tiffany Haddish’s ex-friend, Trizah Morris, is facing off against the actress legally again, after her adult children sued the star and comedien Aries Spears last year for child sex abuse. This time, Trizah is suing her and Aries over extortion claims and defamation.

Tiffany Haddish’s lawyer explains further. “Every attorney who has initially taken on her case — and there were several — ultimately dropped the matter once it became clear that the claims were meritless and Ms. Haddish would not be shaken down. Now, Ms. Morris has her adult daughter representing herself in this lawsuit. The two of them will together face the consequences of pursuing this frivolous action.”

In the newly filed lawsuit, Tirzah Morris accuses the pair of defaming her. She claims they did so by claiming she was trying to extort them. After last year’s suit was thrown out she accuses Spears of calling her a “lying b*tch.” In a response to the new lawsuit representatives for Haddish and Spears once again released a statement countering Morris’ claims. What do you think of the newest lawsuit filed against Tiffany Haddish? Let us know in the comment section below.

In an Instagram post on Monday, the actress said she “deeply regrets” agreeing to act in the comedy sketch six years ago alongside comedian Aries Spears. The Girls Trip actress added she wanted to shed more light on the matter but couldn’t due to the ongoing legal case.

“I know people have a bunch of questions. I get it. I’m right there with you,” Haddish says in her statement. “Unfortunately, because there is an ongoing legal case, there’s very little that I can say right now.”

Haddish continues, “But, clearly, while the sketch was intended to be comedic, it wasn’t funny at all — and I deeply regret having agreed to act in it. I really look forward to being able to share a lot more about this situation as soon as I can.”

This acknowledgement comes after a lawsuit was filed in Los Angeles Superior Court last week, alleging the two comedians groomed and coerced two siblings, aged 7 and 14 at the time, to take part in sexually explicit skits on two separate occasions. According to the lawsuit, the seven-year-old appeared in a sketch titled “Through A Pedophile’s Eyes,” as reported by The Daily Beast.

Attorneys for Haddish and Spears, have dismissed the explicit lawsuit as a shakedown. This story is still developing.
