Usher Has Tameka Foster’s Support, Ex-Wife Hits Up Super Bowl Halftime Show

February 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Usher’s Super Bowl halftime show was a treat to witness last night (February 11), and a lot of people showed out for it. Whether it was other celebrities or legions of fans, it seemed like everyone had something great to say about the spectacle. Not only that, but it seems like folks from his past also showed up to support him, including his ex-wife Tameka Foster. She posted a video of herself at the event on her social media, and an Instagram Story clip even seemingly shows her with another partner there. As such, it was a pretty wholesome and heartening thing to witness, as we’d much rather see supportive divorces than toxic relationships.

Furthermore, Usher and Tameka Foster were married from 2007 to 2009, and a lot of ink’s been spilled on their fling from both parties and even spectators. They had a lot of ups and downs, including cheating claims and other issues, but it seems like they’re in a better place right now. Also, enough time has passed to make their relationship easier to digest in hindsight, so a lot of that discussion wasn’t as toxic as it could’ve been at the split’s inception. Not even romantic baggage can contain one’s excitement from a show from such an amazing performer.

However, this wasn’t the only rift that Usher seemed to heal up with this Super Bowl halftime show. Chris Brown recently gave him his props for the extravaganza with a fire emoji on his Instagram Story. For those unaware, the two were involved in an alleged brawl during Breezy’s 34th birthday party lat year. While that situation never really cleared up in terms of what actually happened, seems like all that’s water under the bridge if it was actually true.

Meanwhile, as for Mr. Raymond and Tameka Foster, her previous infidelity claims seem to have settled. Hopefully the two can continue to find ways to come together and celebrate each other on their individual journeys. After all, it’s what fans want to see from their favs, and the standard they should hold them to. For more news and the latest updates on Usher, stay posted on HNHH.

Diddy Won’t Attend Grammys This Year: Report

January 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The various sexual assault allegations against Diddy sent shockwaves throughout the industry, both in his own career and that of so many others. Moreover, as one of music’s most prolific and wide-ranging moguls, it’s clear that this has affected a lot of pop culture these days. One question that folks had, for example, is whether Sean Combs will attend the 2024 Grammys, given his nomination for Best Progressive R&B Album for The Love Album: Off The Grid. It marks his first solo nomination since 2004, in which he won Best Rap Group/Duo Performance for “Shake Ya Tailfeather” featuring Nelly and Murphy Lee.

Now, according to The Hollywood Reporter, Diddy will not attend this year’s ceremony, taking place on February 4. This news allegedly comes directly from one of his representatives, who spoke to the outlet about this decision as he also faces shut-outs from reality TV programs and many more consequences. Furthermore, back in December, the Recording Academy stated to Radar Online that they are “taking this matter very seriously and are in the process of evaluating it with the time and care that it deserves.” If this news is true, then perhaps we will never know how the Grammys’ organizers would’ve truly handled this situation.

Regardless, we have a not-so-promising idea. For example, this is what the Recording Academy’s CEO, Harvey Mason Jr., expressed when The Hollywood Reporter asked him about other controversial figures like Louis C.K. and Dave Chappelle receiving Grammy nominations last year. “We don’t control who the voters vote for,” he stated. “If voters feel like a creator deserves a nomination, they’re going to vote for them.

“If there’s someone that’s been nominated that we don’t necessarily agree with, we’re not going to remove a nomination,” Mason Jr. continued. “We’re never going to be in the business of evaluat[ing] them on the scale of morality. Our job is to evaluate the art and the quality of the art. The thing that we can control is making sure that people that attend our events feel safe… and don’t feel threatened by anyone.” For more news and the latest updates on Diddy, stay logged into HNHH.

Diddy has revealed that he will attend Rick Ross’ upcoming car show. During a video Ross posted on Instagram, on Memorial Day, Diddy popped into the frame and asked if there is anywhere he can land his private jet.

“Hope you muthafuckas are ready for Saturday,” Ross said in the clip on his Instagram Story. “It’s gon’ be a special event.” At that point, Diddy pops in to ask, “This just in. Can I land my jet? I know it’s a car show but can I bring the Jet? I know Rick Ross has a runway. He’s has a jet runway at his house. At his house!”

The highly-anticipated car show will be held on Saturday, June 3. Last week, Ross revealed that there will be over $300,000 in prize giveaways at the event. Categories for prizes include “Best Car,” “Best Bike,” “Hustler Of The Year,” and many more. Ross explained in a post: “This heavyweight. This over $300,000 in giveaways. The bottom row, that’s for the heavyweights — best car, best bike. The top row — Hustler of the Year and Best Hot Rod. It’s going down at the Promise Land, it’s like a party, it’s like a barbecue. It’s not going down at one of them spots where everybody got on a mask, it’s like the Olympics. Rose gold — not silver, but white gold.”

Despite the show going on, Ross has run into quite a bit of trouble trying to put it together. The city council in Fayetteville tried to have the event shut down out of concerns about traffic, to which Ross threatened to run for mayor. Eventually, Ross was able to get approval with increased police patrols and officers on duty, as well as special traffic plans to minimize disruptions.
