Orlando Brown Arrest: Actor Loses Movie Role In Wake Of DV Incident

by

What appears to have been a brief return to the entertainment industry for Orlando Brown has quickly crumbled before him. According to a new report from TMZ, the That’s So Raven alum has been fired from an upcoming film after being arrested for domestic violence earlier this week.

The incident took place on Thursday (December 22). At the time, Ohio police came to help resolve a fight between two men. Since the actor’s arrest, his victim, Matthew Sanders, has spoken out about the situation.

Brown was due to star in a film called Up The Score, which Sanders is directing and producing. He tells the outlet that he wanted the former Disney star to be a part of the project not only due to their friendship but also because the latter believes the former to be “extremely talented.”

The 35-year-old entertainer moved to his director’s home in Lima in November. The film project is currently in preproduction, and won’t begin shooting until the new year. Before this week’s fight, there were apparently no major issues between the two.

Sanders recounting states that Brown “came at him with a broken-off knife blade and a hammer.” Additionally, he notes that he believes his friend is struggling with mental illness. At times, he thinks the California native comes off as “out of touch with reality.” Ultimately, he’s most upset by not helping the child star with his comeback.

In Up The Score, he was due to appear in a secondary role. The film is a dramedy about a military man who, after meeting someone on social media, leaves his family only to fall victim to some serious catfishing.

Presently, Sanders has decided that Brown is no longer allowed to live with him. If he seeks mental health help, a decision to recast him in the movie might be made. However, seeing as filming begins in the near future, it’s highly unlikely we’ll see him appear.

Lupe Fiasco Says “F**k Kid Cudi For Life”

by

Even with the holiday season underway, some rap beef stayed raw this week. Lupe Fiasco answered a couple of questions on Twitter today, one of which related to his beef with Kid Cudi. In unfiltered fashion, Lupe Fiasco indicated that his beef with Kid Cudi is still as strong as ever. Cudder has yet to respond, although he had posted a prophetically anti-bad vibes message to social media just hours prior.

“We see some of the young guys saying “stop the violence” and squashing beef that had bloodshed,” a user asked Lupe. “You & Cudi possibly somewhere down the line next?” The Chicago rapper responded, “Never. F**k him 4 life.”

However, he didn’t stop there. When another fan pointed out that it seems many people don’t like the Cleveland native, Lupe elaborated. “Outside of his musical genius, fame and success. Cudi is a really sneaky punk b***h a** b***h…it’s not even that controversial or spicy of a take. His personal resume outside the spotlight is trash.”

Furthermore, the DRILL MUSIC IN ZION MC agreed with some comments doubting Cudi’s vibe. “I swear I’ve had this feeling about Cudi these last few years,” another tweeter wrote. “Outside of the music bruh gives off a weird ass vibe.”

“You can gone confirm that…on me,” Lupe said. “But if you rock with his music etc that’s cool…just know that Al Pacino ain’t really Scarface and your parents are Santa Claus.”

Finally, Lupe seemed to respond to people either disappointed with his words or defending Cudi. After all, he has a legion of fans and built up an incredible and influential career in the 2000s and 2010s. However, in Lupe’s eyes, it’s just the way he sees things.

“Dear Kids,” he wrote just an hour after his last Cudi tweet, “always call it like you see it. Respectfully, Lupe #AddValue.”

Still, for what it’s worth, the beef has been pretty one-sided. Cudi’s yet to respond, but his most recent social media post indicates that he likely won’t. Otherwise, it would mean Lupe brought him out of his peaceful mindset, which he elaborated in Instagram and Twitter posts.

What do you think of Lupe’s comments towards Cudi? Moreover, do you think this beef will ever be squashed? Let us know in the comments down below. As always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest in rap beef, reconciliations, and everything in between.

Chrisean Rock & Blueface Fight About Their Relationship Status On “Crazy In Love”

by

The third episode of Zeus’ Crazy In Love is quickly approaching. Those who have tuned into the show so far are curious as to what will happen next. In the premiere, Blueface was hit by his girlfriend, Chrisean Rock’s father. By next Sunday, though, he got his lick back – but not before he was additionally confronted by his partner’s older brother.

Aside from the physical fighting, we’ve also seen the usual bickering between the famous couple. Even before they were given a reality TV show, their fights were (and still are) frequently broadcast on Instagram Live. In this week’s edition of the series, it looks as though there’s only more squabbling to come.

According to a preview uploaded to @theneighborhoodtalk, Rock and the “Thotiana” rapper are having issues agreeing upon the status of their relationship.

As they sit in the nail salon, Blueface asks her, “What is the status of our relationship right now?” The entertainer quickly claps back, “Why are you asking me?” He responds, “Last time I checked, you was single.” The aggravated look left on her face after speaks volumes.

The camera then cuts to a glam session where Rock vents about her feelings. “I love him and I want to be together, but he got to figure out his life. I got n*ggas right now wanting to be my n*gga.”

As the scene shifts again, we see the Crazy In Love couple sharing a moment of affection in the house. The “Thotiana” rapper adjusts Chrisean’s hair while gazing at her lovingly. Immediately after we see her speaking with another man, saying, “I don’t know why he expects me to stay here,” seemingly speaking on the trajectory of her career.

Of course, the drama only gets more intense as Rock discovers that Blueface took a trip to Las Vegas without her. Immediately she expresses that he’s not there to gamble, but rather, to sleep with other women. This sparks a major rift between the two, with the “Rainy Days” artist sobbing in bed as she cusses her man out.

As if that weren’t already enough, the same episode will also see Rock deal with a stressful court case. In the new trailer, it sounds like she could face some serious legal trouble if things don’t go her way.

Tory Lanez Guilty Verdict Breaks The Internet As Celebs React

by

After news spread of Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion’s court case, people reacted with shock, satisfaction, and everything in between. Moreover, the court found Lanez guilty of assault, gross negligence, and carrying an unregistered firearm in a vehicle. Afterwards, Tory Lanez’s guilty verdict lit a fire on social media, prompting reactions on all corners of Twitter.

Meanwhile, one of the most notable celebrity responses came thanks to Iggy Azalea. After fans attacked her online, since Tory was meant to executive produce her new album, she set the record straight. Moreover, she responded to a user who pointed out the hypothetical nature of that criticism.

“Thank you,” the “Fancy” rapper wrote. “This is all I ask. Now isn’t the time to talk about a hypothetical album I’m yet to create or who will E.P it. Give me a min, y’all can fell however you want about whoever you want – that’s all good. But this isn’t the forum to discuss it. Happy holidays.”

However, others like Carl Crawford criticized Tory’s incarceration just a couple of days before Christmas. Additionally, he said that every Black man likely has the same reaction to Lanez getting a maximum of 22 years in jail.

“That’s cold-blooded…” the 1501 CEO said. “Two days before Christmas… 20 plus years… now, if a Black man don’t feel that, that’s cold.”

Many have also brought up the following tweet from the Canadian rapper in light of his verdict.

“I’m going to leave this here one more time… and watch how it ages… NO WEAPON FORMED AGAINST ME SHALL PROSPER… AND EVERY TONGUE THAT RISES AGAINST ME IN JUDGEMENT SHALL BE CONDEMNED u sit and watch now… And don’t ever question the GOD I serve again. This is my last tweet,” he said back on December 7th.

Furthermore, many other celebrities reacted including Melii, Baby Tate, Jonathan Wright, Anthony Fantano, Lil Ju, and more. Still, reactions have been relatively mixed, with some outraged at the verdict. However, it seems many are grateful for justice for Meg.

But what do you think of Tory Lanez’s guilty verdict? Let us know in the comments below and check out some more reactions to the verdict down there as well. Also, as always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest in the Tory/Meg saga.

Romeo Miller Wants Lie Detector Test To Prove Claims About Master P

by

Nobody wins when the family feuds, or so Jay-Z says, but Master P and Romeo Miller are at odds. The father-son duo engaged in a war of words on social media, and just when you thought it was over, the tension was reignited. Romeo returned to Instagram to share a few more thoughts about his rift with his father.

“I have nothing to fear or lie about,” he wrote. “I want everybody to support my dad and his interviews and then I’ll follow back up and sit down with the same people with a lie detector test.”

This all started after P penned a post about the death of Stephen “tWitch” Boss. The beloved DJ and social media star took his own life. Romeo had an issue with his father’s acknowledgment of Boss’s death and suggested the No Limit icon wasn’t attentive to his own children’s needs.

Master P said it all boiled down to money, but Romeo stated that wasn’t the case.

“Please stop with the sob story, this ain’t about money,” he continued. “You know no matter how much you take, I’ve never asked you to pay for any of my bills as an adult, I’m good good.”

This latest post from Romeo stems from a recent interview Master P did with Nino Brown. The former child star was disappointed with his father’s comments about their ongoing division.

“This interview showed your true colors,” he said. “Love ya but I can’t protect that. Take a page from Mike Tyson, your real truth will inspire even the next generation.”

6ix9ine Explains How He Thinks Gunna’s Plea Deal Hurt Young Thug’s Defense

by

6ix9ine and his manager, Wack 100, were some of the first people to publicly accuse Gunna of snitching by taking a plea deal.

This has been a widespread discussion on social media ever since the “Drip Too Hard” rapper’s release last Wednesday(December 14).

DJ Akademiks is continuing to report on the case through his social media platforms. Earlier this week, he even shared screenshots of a conversation that he had with Gunna’s attorney, Steve Sadow. “Doesn’t effect anyone but my client. Out of court statements at a plea hearing cannot come into evidence against someone else,” Sadow says in response to the snitching rumours.

Wack 100 subsequently checked the podcaster for the report. “@akademiks Stop bro … His statements were clearly on the RECORD … And the whole “DEFENSE” was #YSL IS NOT I REPEAT IS NOT A GANG JUST A RECORD LABEL… YOU HIM OR THEM CANT REWRITE THE LAWS OF #SNITCHING. CO-OPERATION WITH THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY MAKES U A CO OPERANT WHICH EQUALS #Telling,” he wrote in the caption of an Instagram post.

Just one day after Gunna’s release, the “FEFE” rapper took to his Instagram to immediately accuse the 29-year-old of snitching. “Go ahead and make your 1,000,0000 excuses. I stand on whatever I do or did. That’s why I’m still walking on this earth AND NOTHING EVER HAPPENS TO ME. I am him p*ssy. Real n****s getting shot and kicked in [their] face, can’t be me,” he wrote in the since-deleted post.

The disgraced rapper has since made an appearance on one of Akademiks’ streams to further break down his thoughts. “Put it like this: A month previous, [if] we take it a month back, the whole internet was saying YSL was not a gang. It’s not a gang. Young Thug’s lawyer went in court and said ‘this is a music label,’ right?’ he began.

He goes on to mention Kevin Liles testifying in court. As the CEO of 300 Entertainment, Liles has reportedly invested money into Young Thug and YSL and confirmed in court that it’s strictly a record label.

However, Tekashi implies this was all ruined when Gunna took his plea deal. As a result, he says this will hurt Thugger’s defence in his hopeful release.

The “FEFE” rapper says that the video of the Georgia native accepting the deal directly shows him snitching. He answers “yes ma’am” when asked if he has personal knowledge that members of YSL have committed crimes.

Regardless, it’s certainly interesting to hear 6ix9ine criticize someone for allegedly snitching. He reportedly did the same in order to see a release from jail in 2020.

What do you think about Tekashi’s comments? Sound off in the comments below afterwards. Stay tuned to HNHH for the latest updates.

Claudia Jordan Reacts After Joe Budden Tells Her To “Shut The F*ck Up”

by

Claudia Jordan’s made an enemy out of Joe Budden after the podcast host faced backlash for criticizing Megan Thee Stallion.

In the past two weeks, we’ve watched the Tory Lanez trial unfold with testimony from Megan Thee Stallion, Kelsey Nicole, and eyewitnesses. On one of the latest episodes of his podcast, Joe wound up dragging Meg for allegedly mistreating some of his industry friends. Ultimately, this landed on the radar of Cocktails With Queens co-hosts, Claudia Jordan and Vivica A. Fox, who had a lot to say about Joe.

“If you want to talk about somebody doing something bad to someone your friends with, maybe you’re not the one to say that,” she said before bringing up allegations of domestic abuse and Budden’s falling out with Rory and Mal.

Ultimately, this led to Budden trashing both Claudia and Fox on the latest episode of his podcast. Though his rant largely targeted Vivica A. Fox, he still had smoke for Jordan.

“Claudia Jordan, shut the fuck up. You got to shut the fuck up. It could get bad,” he said. “I will book that entire Fox old hoes show for $75.99. You bitches better leave me alone.”

Word got back to Claudia but she doesn’t seem too offended by Joe’s rant. Instead, she provided a solution.

“Wow, he” seems upset’s upset,” she wrote. “He should drink some milk.”

While Joe might have issues with the FOX Soul hosts, he did offer an apology to Megan Thee Stallion for his initial comments.

“I’m apologizing for the careless manner in which I joked about her mental health. That didn’t sit right with my soul and my spirit,” he said. “But that’s not funny because whether you believe her or don’t believe her, can you afford to be wrong? And the answer is no. I would not feel right if that girl went home and did something to herself ’cause then I would just be a part of the pile-on. And there is seemingly a Meg hate train going on across socials.”

Deb Antney Says OJ Da Juiceman Is A “Real Street Guy,” Gucci Mane Isn’t

Deb Antney is speaking out against one of her former clients. In a recent press run, the music manager responds to some past claims from OJ Da Juiceman.

Last year, the “Make the Trap Say Aye” rapper made some bold accusations against his former manager.

While appearing on the Big Facts podcast in March last year, he claimed to have signed a bad deal with Antney and her record label, Mizay Entertainment. He alleges to never seeing any money from his 2009 album, The Otha Side of the Trap.

Antney’s son is none other than Waka Flocka Flame, who later came to his mother’s defence. The two went back and forth via their Instagram stories. “Bruh, you lame as f*ck, talkin’ ’bout n****s stole from you. P*ssy ass n***a. You know who stole from you, you lame ass n***a. Stop puttin’ that sh*t on my mama,” the “No Hands” rapper clapped back in response.

In an interview with the Ugly Money Podcast earlier this week, the music manager denies these claims from OJ. When asked about it, she opens up about the situation. “Every interview I ever did, I tell people I neglected him. And I’ll sit here and say that right now, to this day, still, I neglected him because he didn’t give me no fever. Juice was good. He was quiet, no matter what he did,” she exclaimed.

Furthermore, she took some time to set the record straight about OJ and his frequent collaborator, Gucci Mane. “He was really the street one. It wasn’t Gucci, it was him. He was the street guy. That’s who the real street guy was, Juice. But he wanted to change his life. He really wanted to change his life,” she claims.

At the end of the clip, however, she sounds confused as to why the Atlanta rapper would’ve made these accusations. “All the stuff that we did together that you wanted to do, why would you lie on me and say that I did that to you? Why? You know I didn’t do that to you,” she says afterwards.

Antney has also managed Gucci Mane and Nicki Minaj in the past. She was also a cast member in seasons three-six of Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta.

Lil Wayne Sued By Former Personal Chef

by

Lil Wayne is nearly three decades into his decorated career as one of the undisputed greatest rappers of all time.

At this point, nothing surrounding the 40-year-old hitmaker should really come as a surprise.

In the most recent news about the “Lollipop” rapper, he’s now facing a lawsuit. It comes from Morghan Medlock, who formerly worked as his personal chef.

According to a report from TMZ, Medlock is accusing the New Orleans native of various different unlawful practices. The alleged injustices include wrongful termination and retaliation.

It all began when she was in Las Vegas for a trip with Weezy and his crew during Memorial Day weekend earlier this year. Upon getting a call notifying her that her 10-year-old son was in the hospital after sustaining a head injury, Medlock obviously needed to get back to her home in L.A.

However, she claims that the Young Money rapper is responsible for delaying the flight back because he was too busy smoking on the aircraft. She subsequently chose to catch a different flight home instead.

Although she notified Tunechi’s assistant and even tried getting back to work after dealing with the situation, she claims she was terminated.

She’s supposedly seeking a minimum payment of $500,000 from the “Lollipop” rapper for the wrongdoing.

Prior to the news of the legal situation, Wayne was recently seen in good spirits, as he usually is.

During his appearance on ESPN for Monday Night Football last night (December 19), he reacted to Eli Manning’s rapping skills.

After playing the hip-hop legend a humorous video of his remix of Fivio Foreign’s “1 On 3,” he was all smiles. “I didn’t know what was going on. I saw the Cuban around your neck. I’m glad I actually saw a video of what that was all about. But you killed it. You killed it. Yeah, you killed that,” he tells Manning.

Chika Comes For 50 Cent After He Disses Megan Thee Stallion

by

When something big is happening in the hip-hop world, you can almost bet that 50 Cent will have something to say about it on social media. Of course, the ongoing Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion trial is no exception.

Over the weekend, the Power producer correspondingly hopped on Twitter to share a post comparing the Houston rap diva to Jussie Smollett. The actor previously found himself on trial for a messy scheme he put together, making himself look like the victim of a racist attack.

“Damn I’m confused, all this shit going around,” Fif wrote alongside the image. “I don’t know what to think. LOL.”

The “Candy Shop” rapper is facing undeniably considerable backlash for his comments. Specifically, “HICKORY DICKORY” hitmaker Chika spoke out on her own profile, condemning him for using his platform so irresponsibly. “If you took even a second to read through the court proceedings, it wouldn’t be so confusing,” she first said.

“As a figure in hip-hop, you should be responsible with how you use your platform. Targeting a victim of a shooting ain’t it and never will be,” the recording artist continued. “I think you know that 9x over,” she added, referencing 50’s own history with gun violence.

In her next post, Chika went on, “There is literally no reason to believe that a story that hasn’t changed and came out involuntarily is untrue.”

She showed plenty of sympathy for Megan, writing, “I cannot imagine being @theestallion and having to see grown ass men cape for another not-so-grown ass man whose ego caused him to assault her with a deadly weapon.”

Additionally, Chika predicts that Lanez will receive a charge in the ongoing proceedings. “You n*ggas can unkindly f*ck off and talk about something that can be expressed at the 2.3 reading level you possess,” she later snapped at the New Yorker.

“It’s tired, it’s triggering, it’s f*ckin disgusting, and it needs to STOP. Y’all been at it for two years. Your Leprechaun King is getting convicted. Period.”

Furthermore, Chika believes that Black men should be “holding Megan up” during this time. “Instead you’ve chosen to stay silent and only speak when your baseless disbelief can be used to discredit her. Literally, F*CK you.”

Next, the 25-year-old explicitly hit 50 Cent with some harsh words regarding his past with Kanye West. “You dismissing senseless violence towards a woman while posting shit on Instagram every time you get into your p*ssy ass feelings about a grown man typing out something YOU dislike. N*gga, take a nap!” she told him. “You retired bc Kanye outsold and even HE ain’t worth a damn. Both bitches.”
