December 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s stepson, Quincy Brown, shared a heartwarming tribute for Kim Porter on TikTok, on Sunday. In doing so, he revealed that he recently discovered a letter his mother wrote to him years before her death. Porter would’ve turned 54 on Sunday. She passed away at the age of 47 on November 15, 2018, after suffering from lobar pneumonia.

Quincy began by wishing his late mother a “happy, heavenly birthday.” From there, he explained: “I’ve been going back to Columbus lately and making sure the house down there is loved on. We’re in L.A., far away from Columbus, Georgia. I’ve been visiting a lot, everytime I go back I always find something. … On the latest episode of Quincy’s findings, through the history of my amazing life, I came across an envelope.”

Brown then explained that he opened up the letter. “I opened it, and I was blown away. It was my birthday, apparently, so on my Mom’s birthday I want to share this with y’all,” he said. “My Mom gave me my first ever dollar bill. The classic $10 bill. I haven’t seen one of these in ten years, but to see this from her saying, ‘I love you, Mommy.’ … I was three years old, I was looking for the toys! You better off putting this in a toy. But I think it was meant for me to see this 30 years later… I don’t know, it’s crazy to me. Happy birthday Mom, love you.”

Quincy Brown Wishes Kim Porter A Happy Birthday

Fans in the comments section joined in on wishing Porter a happy birthday.

Jamie Foxx Hit In The Mouth With Glass During Wild Restaurant Fight

December 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Recently, Jamie Foxx visited the Beverly Hills restaurant Mr. Chow for his birthday. He was joined by his daughters Corinne and Anelise Foxx, as well as his ex Kristin Grannis. Unfortunately, however, it looks like the wholesome outing took a turn for the worse. Today, it was reported that Foxx was involved in a fight involving other diners and that he was possibly injured. This was unconfirmed at first, as Foxx did not stick around long enough to receive any kind of medical attention.

Now, a spokesperson for the personality has released a statement about the incident, confirming that Foxx was actually injured. “Jamie Foxx was at his birthday dinner when someone from another table threw a glass that hit him in the mouth,” they revealed. “He had to get stitches and is recovering. The police were called and the matter is now in law enforcement’s hands.”

At the time of writing, it remains unclear exactly what led up to the explosive altercation. With that being said, fans are glad to hear that Foxx is on the road to recovery. This is far from the first medical issue he’s dealt with lately, as he just opened up about suffering a stroke and brain bleed during his new Netflix special. According to him, it all started with a bad headache in April of 2023.

“Your life doesn’t flash before your face. It was kind of oddly peaceful. I saw the tunnel, I didn’t see the light. I was in that tunnel, though. It was hot in that tunnel. Sh*t, am I going to the wrong place in this motherf*cker?” he joked of being unconscious. “Because I looked at the end of the tunnel, and I thought I saw the devil like, ‘Come on.’”

Akbar V Shares Heartfelt Message For Nicki Minaj In Honor Of Her Birthday

December 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that Akbar V’s love for Nicki Minaj goes way back. For this reason, it doesn’t come as a major surprise that the femcee took to social media today to wish the “FTCU” rapper a happy birthday. She turns 42 today, and in honor of the occasion, Akbar wrote her a heartfelt message on X. In it, she refers to Nicki as her big sister, and thanks her for all she’s done.

“Happy birthday to my big sister @NICKIMINAJ i love you thank you for all you do for female rap thank you for the tips behind the scenes you have given me thank you for not being who they try to [portray] you to be,” she wrote. “Love you.”

This is far from the first time Akbar V has honored Nicki, however. Last summer, she even dropped a song seemingly dedicated to her, which sparked some controversy among fans. While some thought it was a nice gesture, others thought she took things too far. Regardless, she stood by the track and came to her own defense on X. “The fact that folks think she gotta like my post or comment is cr*zy. I’m a fan of hers. I want to follow in her steps in music, period. I love her, I’m inspired [and] [I] don’t care who says it’s [d**k] riding. I don’t care, I rap. I’m a rapper. I looked up to her and still do, every rap [b**ch] [does],” she wrote at the time.

“They just don’t like to admit [it] [because] [they’re] so obsessed with the ‘Nicki hate train,’” she continued. “Nicki never told me to do [nothing] just like when I was in the streets, my friends never told me to dislike people If they didn’t like them… Me, Akbar V is loyal and always will be.”

Darius Jackson Had To Call Keke Palmer To Remember Their Son’s Birthday

December 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Darius Jackson has to tread lightly on the Internet due to his divisive relationship with Keke Palmer and the scandals that they faced. With that in mind, we have no idea why he would choose to reveal via his Instagram Story that he almost forgot their son Leodis’ birthday. “Took Leodis to his doctor’s appointment back in September & barely knew his date of birth..” Jackson wrote. “His mom was on speed dial & the nanny also helped answer the other questions. But we got it done! Which is all that matters.” It was back in September, Darius; why do you do this to yourself?!

Jokes aside, people took this a lot more seriously than they probably should, thanks to the context of Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson’s relationship. “It got so out of control,” the former told PEOPLE of their extinguished bond. “The only way I knew how to bring order was through the court. […] Not just with my romantic relationships, but with family and friends, [my fame has] always become a burden. Too many voices get in. It can make everybody else not trust you. It’s hard to explain.”

However, it’s important to note that Darius Jackson and Keke Palmer are in a much better place now and are very happy for each other in the public eye. In fact, it seems like the two want to commit to a healthy and cooperative coparenting relationship when it comes to their baby boy Leodis, as they went out for a zoo trip earlier this year after their public falling-out. Of course, fans continue to debate whether these signs of goodwill owe themselves to a genuine desire to heal or to their wishes to clean up their act on social media.

But frankly, that’s an irrelevant conversation that’s none of our business. The important thing is that Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson seemingly moved past the more serious parts of their allegations against each other and feel comfortable with supporting each other through this new phase of their intertwined lives. Let’s just hope that they don’t lose their memory any more than they seemingly already have…

Kenneth Petty, Nicki Minaj’s Husband, Approved To Travel To The Tropics For Her Birthday

November 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Nicki Minaj‘s husband, Kenneth Petty, will celebrate her birthday in paradise after hitting the road with her on her record-breaking Pink Friday 2 tour. On probation, Petty has received rare court approval to travel internationally, allowing him to celebrate the icon’s upcoming birthday. Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald granted the request, permitting Petty to join Minaj for a luxurious getaway despite restrictions on his travel. Minaj, who just announced the next leg of her world tour, will celebrate her 42nd birthday in a couple of weeks.

The couple plans to spend December 3 to December 13 in the Turks and Caicos Islands, marking Minaj’s 42nd birthday with a family vacation. Petty’s legal history includes a 1995 conviction for attempted rape and a 2006 first-degree manslaughter charge, for which he served seven years in prison. In 2022, he faced sentencing for failing to register as a sex offender, receiving home confinement, probation, and financial penalties. These legal obligations require him to secure court approval for international travel.

Court records reveal that Petty’s legal team filed an ex parte motion for this trip, a move opposed by federal prosecutors but unchallenged by his probation officer. Ultimately, the court sided with Petty, allowing him to accompany Minaj on the vacation. The approval comes with strict conditions. Petty must submit a detailed itinerary to his probation officer, maintain communication, and report back promptly upon his return. Petty had to produce similar documents on Minaj’s world tour.

This latest ruling underscores the legal complexities surrounding Petty’s life, even as he participates in significant family milestones with Minaj. Despite public scrutiny and legal hurdles, the couple continues to make arrangements to navigate their personal and professional lives together. Nicki Minaj’s husband was present when Minaj was detained for her high-profile May possession charges in Amsterdam. Fans protested her release following arrest.

Bhad Bhabie Wishes Le Vaughn A Happy Birthday Amid Her Cancer Diagnosis

November 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Overall, it’s been a gauntlet of a year for Bhad Bhabie. The viral multi-industry talent was involved in a serious debacle with her current baby daddy, Le Vaughn. Footage surfaced from her in which showed the brutality of the alleged abuse. However, they have since smoothed things out and seem to be on good terms. But things don’t stop there for the 21-year-old. Early last month, her and previously estranged father, Ira Peskowitz, finally made peace and have been steadily building their relationship back up. Additionally, Bhabie has to deal with a burglary and several other waves of backlash thanks to Le Vaughn.

But if that wasn’t enough, she’s currently dealing with a cancer diagnosis as of just a few days ago. She annoyingly revealed this after the internet had been constantly questioning her over her shocking weight loss. Some people were not buying Bhabie’s claims about the cancer medication, which led to both her and her mother clapping back and rightfully so. “I’m sorry my cancer medicine made me lose weight,” the rapper said on an IG Story. “I’m slowly gaining it back. So stop running with the worst narratives.”

Bhad Bhabie Shows Love To Le Vaughn

Barbara Ann Bregoli confirmed the cancer treatment and went off on one doubter in particular. “How dare you – you little vile piece of s*** – say my daughter would lie about something like that. You’re a dad… How many children did you have through a surrogate? I’m not even sure. You need to focus on them and not mine,” she said in short. However, despite all of this backlash, noise, and stress, the young adult is showing up for those she cares about.

In a recent Instagram post from Bhabie, she took the time to help celebrate Le Vaughn’s birthday. She shared a couple of pictures of them kicking back with the caption, It’s my baby birthday!!! I love you so much” The comments were turned off for the post and understandably so. As we said before, the couple has heard and seen a lot of stuff. It’s good to see her still supporting others even though she’s the one needing the most care at the moment. Our best wishes continue to go out to her, her family, and friends during this time.

Clearly, Drake is feeling reflective, and social media users can’t blame him. It’s been an undoubtedly tough year for him, considering his explosive beef with Kendrick Lamar and others, and nowadays it’s not often he catches a break. Fortunately, it appears as though he hasn’t let that get him down. In another Instagram post for his birthday, Drake and his mother Sandra Graham were seen posing with stacks of money. He appeared to fire back at his haters in his caption, celebrating proving them wrong. “They pictured me dead,” he wrote at the time. “But that was just imagination [heart with arrow emoji] one more year pon dem.”

Drizzy was even spotted tearing it up onstage at one of his many birthday events, competing in an intense dance battle with Omarion. What do you think of Drake’s latest Instagram post? What about him getting reflective in honor of his 38th birthday? Can you blame him considering the year he’s had so far?
