Dr. Dre Faces Criticism For Abusive Past After Getting Star On Hollywood Walk Of Fame

March 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Dr. Dre is facing backlash on social media for his alleged abusive past, following the unveiling of his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Despite the celebratory ceremony, some fans weren’t happy with paying tribute to a man responsible for such controversial actions.

“Dr Dre has been named as a violent abuser by multiple women. He has stated himself that he was violent but yeah, lets give this name a star and name a grammy award after him. The music industry is sick,” one user on Twitter wrote. When The Neighborhood Talk shared the post on Instagram, other fans had mixed responses. While some did agree, many came to the defense of Dre, and even brought up Chris Brown. “If y’all can forgive Dr Dre y’all can forgive Chris Brown,” one user wrote. Another wrote: “What’s does he’s violent past have to do with the greatest hits of all time he brought us Eminem, Kendrick Lamar and so many great artist.”

The ceremony was a star-studded event, with Eminem, Snoop Dogg, 50 Cent, Jimmy Iovine, and more celebrities all in attendance. At the podium, Dre reflected on the support he’s received over the years. “I’m incredibly grateful for your support throughout the years. Most of us have grown up together. And at nearly 60 years old, you’re still rocking with me, and I really appreciate that,” he said. “Thank you so much. Which is really good, because I’m nowhere near done. You better believe there’s a lot more coming.” Dre added: “Pouring my whole soul and self into my passion for hip-hop led me on a pathway to an incredible career, and I’ve been fortunate enough to make a living doing exactly what I love to do.”

Lil Mama In Tears As She Recalls Crashing Jay-Z & Alicia Keys’ MTV VMAs Performance

March 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Back in 2009, Jay-Z and Alicia Keys graced the stage at the MTV Video Music Awards, but their performance was interrupted by an unexpected guest. Partway through their hit “Empire State Of Mind,” Lil Mama ran onstage, despite Beyonce’s attempts to hold her back. For a few moments, she danced along, and even hit a final pose with the duo. This earned the “Lip Gloss” MC quite a bit of backlash, as countless outlets put her on blast for the incident in the following days.

During a recent appearance on The Jay Hill Podcast, Lil Mama reflected on the infamous stage-crashing, revealing that it took a serious toll on her mental health. She recalled receiving a call from Tyrese, who asked about her impromptu appearance, the morning after the awards show. Unfortunately, this was only the beginning, as the moment soon became one of the hottest subjects of debate from the awards show.

“I had to deal with Ed Lover on the radio in the morning, Wendy Williams, Angie Martinez, who talked to JAY, and he was just like, ‘Yeah, you know. I didn’t like it.’ He was so angry and I was just trying my best to do everything I could do. After a while, I was like, ‘Forgive yourself, bro. Move forward,’” she explained. “Bro, I was hurt. I was depressed. I was like, ‘Yo, what’s going on?’ And then you got everybody telling you, ‘You’re doing bad.’ People pointing at you, like, ‘What did you do?’”

As for how the hitmaker moved on from the fallout, she says she chose to focus on how “blessed” she really is, relative to those facing even more life-changing struggles. What do you think of Lil Mama reflecting on the infamous moment she joined Jay-Z and Alicia Keys onstage at the MTV VMAs? What about her opening up about how she got through the fallout?

Tamar Braxton & Jeremy “JR” Robinson Show PDA On IG Live, Fans Aren’t Here For It

February 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that Tamar Braxton and Jeremy “JR” Robinson have been through quite a bit in recent months. JR called off their engagement in October in pursuit of becoming “a better person” before proposing for the second time in December. Luckily for them, however, they appear to be doing better than ever. During a recent Instagram Live, the duo engaged in plenty of PDA, making it clear that their second engagement has done wonders for their bond.

Braxton and JR seem to be very much in love, but unfortunately, not everybody is feeling their reunion. Countless commenters are tearing the pair to shreds under a snippet from the IG Live, and claiming that they’d rather see the two of them go their separate ways again. Many users are also bringing up Braxton’s beef with Tommie Lee, and the fact that JR attended a sporting event with her just a couple of months ago.

“Get you a new man,” one Instagram user writes. Another asks, “Was he not with [Tommie] just a few months ago?” While most commenters are concerned about the duo themselves, others are more worried about them showing PDA in front of Braxton’s son Logan, who she shares with her ex, Vincent Herbert. “Why is he rubbing all on her with her kid right there that’s annoying,” one critical commenter writes.

This is far from the first time the pair have received backlash for their reunion, however, and they don’t seem to be letting it get in the way of their romance. What do you think of Tamar Braxton and Jeremy “JR” Robinson showing PDA on Instagram Live? Do you agree with fans saying they shouldn’t be together, or are you rooting for them?

Diddy’s Son Removes Face Tattoo After Negative Feedback

February 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s stepson Quincy Brown may make some impulsive decisions from time to time, but at least he owns up to them when he’s “wrong.” Moreover, social media followers recently clowned him for a new face tattoo he got under his left eye that spells out “Perfect.” Apparently, the singer and actor is really about fan reception and democracy, because on Wednesday (February 21), he shared the process of going to get his ink removed via laser treatment. “I’ve read the comments,” he captioned his update on the platform. “Thank Q for y’all’s honesty. Thank Q @aestheticqueenco you the people’s champ!”

Furthermore, a lot of people also debated whether Quincy’s tattoo was real in the first place, or if this was all just for content on social media. But the fact that he apparently did this just because of negative feedback puts this into question, because it’s not like he made a mountain out of a molehill. Still, if Brown really did get the tattoo, then why would he care about what others have to say in the first place -– especially on the Internet? Regardless of all that, it’s not the wildest thing that Diddy’s extended family has been up to as of late, as King Combs had to fight off gang claims and backlash.

Quicy Removes His Face Tat: Watch

Sadly, everything emerging around the Combs family falls under a dark shroud these days thanks to the alleged sexual misconduct of Diddy. While his legal cases continue to develop and mount pressure, his extended family has not said much of the whole ordeal. Quincy himself remains quite tight-lipped on the matter, although this could change depending on whether Sean Combs re-enters the music industry soon. For the sake of the whole family, it seems like quite the sensitive topic to tackle through anything other than a joint effort.

Meanwhile, as the guilt and weight of these accusations continue to fall under public and legal scrutiny, Diddy’s stepson’s antics in the media will likely continue. After all, life goes on, and there’s so little we know about these cases to begin with. We’ll see what the rest of 2024 holds in this regard. For more news and the latest updates on Quincy, stick around on HNHH.

Snoop Dogg Smokes Around His Grandkids In The Studio, Fans Blast Him For It

February 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Snoop Dogg is a smoking icon in hip-hop, acting almost like a mentor in the game when it comes to the chronic. However, it’s a part of his brand as much as it is a part of his lifestyle, which can often cause problems when it comes to how this image translates to a younger generation. Moreover, Tha Doggfather recently faced some backlash for a video he posted on his Instagram page on Wednesday (February 21). In it, he’s in a recording studio with his granddaughters and smokes a blunt, which a lot of people in the comments section took issue with.

“Unk don’t give no f**ks he gon play but he damn sure gon smoke,” one commenter suggested jokingly, although others didn’t share this sentiment. “Like Serioisly … Is there a blunt in his hand in front of the grand babies? Come man, damn,” another chimed in. However, others pointed out that the blunt that Snoop Dogg held wasn’t lit in this clip, so it’s entirely possible that he took a break for some family time, even if he didn’t let it go. Maybe this will be another one of his comical smoking stories in the near future.

Sadly, this news and discussion comes amid a very difficult and tragic time for the Long Beach native. HIs brother on his mother’s side, Bing Worthington, passed away last week at age 44, and his loved ones recently honored his memory and celebrated his life at his funeral service. “Everlastin love Beverly’s boys,” Snoop Dogg captioned a picture of the service, in which he stood by the casket wearing all-red. “Dirty left bing and snoopy [fire emoji] [rose emoji] [dove emoji]. @badabing33 miss that laugh and the way u made us smile keep mama company till we get there [dove emoji] [peace sign emoji].”

Meanwhile, as the 52-year-old continues to process this loss, he is starting to see the fruits of other labors. For example, he and Dr. Dre recently launched a new alcoholic drink named after their iconic track, “Gin & Juice.” Hopefully these grandkids don’t get their hands on this, either.

Chrisean Rock Slammed For Colorist Critique Of Instagram Live Viewer

February 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Chrisean Rock is in hot water with her fanbase quite often, but this might be the tightest rope she’s walked on yet. Moreover, many fans aren’t happy with her reconciliation with Blueface considering their toxic tendencies as a couple in the past. While this is an understandable reunion, especially with his current incarceration in mind, folks hoped that the Baltimore native would move past this. Alas, she returned to her full support of the California rapper, and now finds opposition to her with every Instagram Live session she hosts. During her most recent one, the mother of one drew even more backlash for some seemingly racist comments against a viewer.

“That forehead and that synthetic weave you got in there,” Chrisean Rock told a viewer, presumably based off their profile picture. “Who’s eating me up? You’re broke as s**t and you’re ugly with a fat-a** nose. You don’t even -– and I know you don’t like your complexion, ’cause you look like one of them type of girls.” Her apparently colorist comments didn’t sit well with her audience, with one person commenting “Colorism on the 8th day of black history month is Nasty work” under the post below covering the Live. “Can we actually cancel her for good I’m tired of seeing her,” another added.

Of course, these are pretty extreme reactions from both sides, both of which certainly won’t help the former Baddies star. No one can deny that she’s been through a lot; not just her romantic past, but her constant antics and status as a single mother. While Chrisean Rock has a lot of family support behind her, a lot of people grew tired of these back-and-forths. But for now, it seems like this train isn’t slowing down anytime soon.

Meanwhile, this hot water is even extending into the political and religious realm. She decided to comment on the Israel-Palestine conflict by blasting both groups for not praising Jesus. If that’s not enough to get people to shut the Live sessions off, perhaps they’ll never stop seeing this on their timeline. For more news and the latest updates on Chrisean Rock, check back in with HNHH.

JT Called Out For Supporting Nicki Minaj Despite Megan Thee Stallion Bond

February 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Whenever two huge rappers start beef, it’s always tough for other artists and collaborators to work with one without dismissing the other. However, in the case of Nicki Minaj versus Megan Thee Stallion, this might put many more female rappers against each other based on their perceived allegiance, which is a sad reality. For example, the former recently played JT’s new song “Sideways” on Stationhead, and she thanked Nicki for her support. Under coverage of this co-sign on Instagram, many fans called out how the City Girl has worked a lot with Megan in the past, with the Houston MC even advocating for her freedom at one point. Now, though, the Florida rapper is more closely aligned with her former collaborator’s current rival.

Of course, this doesn’t really mean anything in the grand scheme of things. JT can easily work with both Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion and maintain a personal bond with them. No rap beef should limit artists from making the art they want to make with who they want to make it with. Still, many fans believe this is a public switch-up with some more damning context behind it. “All I’ll ever think of is when she called JT out on that live and made her rap that diss track she made,” one fan claimed in a comment on the post below. “girl y’all aren’t friends she just needs a lapdog to do as she says.”

Furthermore, this also pertains to previous instances of the City Girls dissing Nicki Minaj and other big femcees during their come-up. JT even addressed this with the Trinidadian hitmaker during an Instagram Live session, and some fans think that she just submitted to being in an inferior position. On one hand, it’s heartening to see past feuds wash away, but on the other, the timeline is inconsistent to follow, especially when compared to the 31-year-old’s relationship with Megan Thee Stallion. It’s all very unclear and hazy, but that didn’t stop the criticism from flowing in.

Meanwhile, with the Traumanize lyricist acting relatively unscathed on social media about this beef, it’s unlikely she has legitimate ill will toward her former collaborator. Well, Nicki’s also a former collaborator, so perhaps only time will tell. Nevertheless, hopefully more artists and fans can advocate for an easing of tensions given everyone involved’s talent. On that note, keep checking in with HNHH for the latest on Nicki Minaj, JT, and Megan Thee Stallion.

January 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Chrisean Rock and Blueface are a couple known for their toxicity. Overall, they have been on again and off again for months. Following the birth of their first child together, it seemed like Chrisean was done with Blue for good. However, ever since his arrest a few weeks ago, she has been back by his side. Now, she is head over heels for him again, and they seem to be going strong. It has been a confusing time for their fans, and many are wondering exactly what is going on. This is especially true given the reality star’s new ink.

As we have reported extensively, Chrisean has gotten herself a tattoo of Blueface’s mugshot on her face. Ultimately, this is a very bizarre tattoo and fans are concerned as to why she would do that to herself. After all, face tattoos are already fairly taboo. Many people have them now, however, when you get a face tattoo of someone’s face, there are going to be some questions. On social media last night, Chrisean decided to answer a few of those questions.

As she explains, her bond with Blueface has gotten a whole lot stronger ever since he went to jailx. Furthermore, she may have taken a shot at Jaidyn Alexis by claiming that Blue is only messing with one woman right now. That woman, of course, being Chrisean. Regardless of all of this, many are still appalled that she would get such a massive face tattoo. Some have tried to proclaim it as fake, although it remains to be seen if that is true. Either way, the tattoo was a choice…

With Chrisean Rock and Blueface continuing to make headlines, one can only wonder what they will end up doing next. Let us know your thoughts on the new tattoo, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Earlier today, the Little Mermaid star took to Twitter to respond to one critical fan, making it clear that she’s had enough of the backlash. “I don’t think people are mad she hid her pregnancy,” the user wrote. “People are more so annoyed that she went out of her way to lie and gaslight about it. Then, she shaded people and called them desperate. Now, she wants those same ‘desperate’ people to know every little detail.”

“I never lied or even said anything about it honey,” Bailey began her response. “Making a joke about my nose was the farthest i went . i’ll never understand why you are mad i protected my own peace, wouldn’t you do the same? and i’m gonna share my pics now if i want to because my son is here safely, if u don’t wanna see it just keep scrolling baby lol God bless you !” What do you think of Halle Bailey receiving criticism for hiding her pregnancy?

Chrisean Rock’s Serving Spoon Backlash Prompts Response From Chef In Clip

January 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

This week, Chrisean Rock’s found herself in hot water for a clip of her eating with a serving spoon at an event. While some social media users were taken aback by how eagerly she went in on the food, others were disgusted that she used the communal spoon, and even put it back into the dish meant for everybody. Amid the backlash, Chrisean Rock took to Instagram to clear things up, claiming that the whole thing was a skit.

“It’s a skit, me acting like the food is really good,” she explained. “Which it really was good, but you know, you see how fast that clip went around? Me eating in that tray like that? That was the point, to eat it like that.” Chrisean also said that she gave the man in charge of the food a tip, though commenters weren’t buying it.

Chef Claims Chrisean Eating From Communal Spoon Wasn’t A Skit

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

Now, the man featured in the clip has broken his silence. Despite her claims, he insists that Chrisean is lying about the incident being a skit. According to him, the event was a big deal for him, and he let it slide because the food in the tray was nearly gone. “The sh*t she did with the spoon, I ain’t really approve of it,” he says in a new clip. “But the rice was almost done, so I ain’t really care.” He also notes that this isn’t the first time he’s gotten an over-the-top reaction to his food. “Nothing new,” he calls it.

While some continue to criticize Chrisean for her behavior, others argue that she paid for the food, so it shouldn’t be an issue as long as unsuspecting guests weren’t also eating from the tray. What do you think of Chrisean Rock claiming that she ate with a communal serving spoon as part of a skit? What about the chef claiming that she’s lying?
