Cam’ron & Hit-Boy Condemn Abusive Cop Who Attacked A Black Woman

by

A video of a Los Angeles policeman slamming an older Black woman to the ground is drawing a lot of ire on social media, and rightfully so. Moreover, a civilian captured the attack on film, as the woman recorded the cop arresting her son on accusations of stealing, which she believed to be illegal. The latest individuals to blast this incident online are none other than rap stars Cam’ron and Hit-Boy. Furthermore, they both took to Instagram to share their outraged thoughts on the matter, an outrage that many feel as well since this could’ve resulted in much more tragic circumstances.

“Now when n***as start wilding again don’t say anything,” Cam’ron, the legendary rapper and now sports commentary star, wrote on his Instagram Story on footage of the assault. “This some bulls**t I’m pissed!” Meanwhile, Hit-Boy, the skilled producer and rapper, expressed that if anyone treated his mother this way, he would go scorched earth on them. “Dirty mfs if this was my mom he would just have to murk me I’m going out buckin,” he added on his Instagram Story as well.

Hit-Boy & Cam’ron Are Outraged At Cop Attack

Other rap figures to speak out against this were Mysonne, rapper and civil rights activist, and Mike Jones. “This piece of Sh!# Need his A** whipped and then he needs to be put in Jail,” Mysonne stated. “The Cowards aren’t fit to Protect or Serve!! We need to know who he is and have him fired and Arrested!! Asap!! #endcowardculture.” “Why he had to put his hands on the woman, when she ain’t put her hands on him? It needs to be a law in place asap to change all that #KeepYoHandsToYoSelf #PoliceLaws Need to be changed & Asap!”

Meanwhile, as of writing this article, the L.A. Police Department has yet to speak out on this incident. In other news, Hit-Boy recently released SURF OR DROWN, Vol. 2 with his recently out-of-jail father Big Hit. Even though he found himself quite busy this year, there should always be time to call out these injustices. For more news on him and on Cam’ron, stay posted on HNHH.

Ashanti Is A “Beautiful Black Woman,” Kevin Hunter Says After “Weight Gain” Post

by

Ashanti’s figure has been the talk of the town this month, especially after she posted a bikini-clad thirst trap to keep the masses warm this winter. Most recently, it was Wendy Williams’ ex, Kevin Hunter, who had some things to say about the R&B vocalist and her bodacious body.

Over the weekend, the former television executive reposted a throwback photo of the Murder Inc. artist on his Story. In the obviously dated image, she wears a big smile on her face, huge gold hoops, a pink graphic tee, and skinny jeans. Seeing as she’s much younger in the photo, her shape looks noticeably different compared to now.

According to Hunter, this can only mean one thing – that she underwent plastic surgery. “Ion know… That’s alotta weight gain since 2007,” he wrote in his post. “No hate queen, but BODY DONE???”

Ashanti’s fans lashed out at the father of one with a quickness. “Job Kevin… Get a job,” one person wrote in @theshaderoom’s comments. “It’s been a lot of cheating since 2007 too, but what do I know,” someone else added, bringing light to the OG hater’s own flaws.

“As a man, why were you even worried about it?” yet another person pressed him. “If you expect someone from 2007 to look the same in 2022 I question your level of intelligence,” one last comment reads.

After getting wind of his critics’ thoughts, Hunter had more to say. “Look I think @ashanti is a BEAUTIFUL BLACK WOMAN!” he began.

“I have posted a NUMBER of positive posts that no one ever runs with. In this day and time, it’s not uncommon for people to have surgery… My question was for my page. I’m not a blogger nor am I trying to be or disrespect her in any way.”

Hunter says he “salutes” Ashanti and her “natural assets.” He added, “[I] was merely posing a question,” before going on to praise “all her accomplishments.”

“Errbody CALM DOWN,” the 50-year-old ended his rant.

Do you think Kevin Hunter is out of pocket for his question about Ashanti? Let us know below, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Meghan Markle Says She Wasn’t Treated “Like A Black Woman” Until UK Move

by

Marrying into royalty may sound like a dream come true. However, Netflix’s new Harry & Meghan docuseries proves that for one famous couple, it was anything but. On Thursday (December 8), the streaming service premiered the first three episodes of the long-awaited project. One of them finds Meghan Markle discussing how the treatment towards her shifted upon moving to the UK.

Throughout the show, the Suits alum discusses how she spent much of her life with others seeing her as a white woman. At one point, she even recalled times from her childhood when people would stop her darker-skinned mother, Doria Ragland. They would surprisingly ask her whose baby she was carrying around due to their difference in colour.

According to Markle, it wasn’t until her relationship with Prince Harry began making rounds in the media that her race became something of prominence. “At that time, I wasn’t thinking about how race played a part in any of this,” she said of the beginning of their romance. “I genuinely didn’t think about it.”

“It’s very different to be a minority but not be treated as a minority right off the bat,” the activist went on to explain. “I’d say now, people are very aware of my race because they made it such an issue when I went to the UK. But before that, most people didn’t treat me like a ‘Black woman.’ So that talk didn’t happen for me.”

Elsewhere in the episode, Ragland speaks of cautioning her daughter of the rampant racism headed her way. “I said to her very clearly, I said, ‘This is about race.’ And Meg said, ‘Mommy, I don’t want to hear that,’” she shared.

“I said, ‘You may not want to hear it, but this is what’s coming down the pike,’” Markle’s mother added.

Additionally, Prince Harry was expressing frustration at how his family refused to offer protection to the woman that he loves. “Some of the members of the family were like, ‘But my wife had to go through that so why should your girlfriend be treated any differently?” he vented.

“Why should you get special treatment? Why should she be protected?’ I said, ‘The difference here, is the race element,’” the father of two declared.
