SOURCE SPORTS: 3-Time Boxing Champ Israel Vazquez Dead At 46 After Battle With Cancer

December 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Mexico is mourning the loss of one of its most celebrated boxers, Israel Vázquez, a three-time world champion in the super bantamweight division. Vázquez, affectionately known as “Magnifico,” passed away at the age of 46 following a battle with cancer.

The news was confirmed by Mauricio Sulaiman, president of the World Boxing Council (WBC), who shared heartfelt words on social media. “Israel is finally resting in peace,” Sulaiman wrote on X, just a month after the public learned of Vázquez’s diagnosis. “May God give strength and support to his wife Laura, their children, family, and friends during these difficult times.”

Sulaiman praised Vázquez for his contributions to the sport and beyond, adding, “Thank you, Israel, for the many great memories you gave us inside the ring and, most importantly, for the incredible man you were outside of it. You are now eternal. Rest in peace.”

Legendary trainer Freddie Roach, who worked closely with Vázquez during his career, also paid tribute. “Israel, my friend, may you rest in peace now,” Roach said. “My condolences to the Vázquez family and to everyone who was privileged to call him a friend.”

In support of Vázquez and his family, the WBC launched a GoFundMe campaign following his diagnosis, raising $44,000 to assist with medical expenses.

A Legacy in the Ring

Vázquez leaves behind an impressive boxing legacy, with 44 career wins, 32 of them by knockout, and just five losses. His iconic rivalry with fellow Mexican fighter Rafael Márquez cemented his place in boxing history. The pair clashed in a legendary quadrilogy, with each fighter claiming two victories. Their electrifying battles earned Fight of the Year honors twice and are regarded as some of the greatest bouts in boxing history.

Vázquez retired after the conclusion of their fourth fight, leaving fans with cherished memories of his determination, skill, and heart inside the ring.

As tributes pour in from around the boxing world, Israel Vázquez will be remembered not only as a champion but also as a beloved figure whose courage extended beyond the ropes. His legacy will live on in the hearts of fans, family, and the sport he dedicated his life to.

Bhad Bhabie Pops Out With Her Boyfriend Le Vaughn For First Time Since Cancer Diagnosis

November 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bhad Bhabie shocked her followers a few weeks ago when she revealed she was taking cancer medication, which obviously prompted a lot of worries. But it seems like she is getting in better spirits and stepping out for her daily routine, strolling around with her boyfriend Le Vaughn in Calabasas on Friday (November 22) in the first photos that emerged since the news of her cancer diagnosis broke. If you want to check the pictures out, you can click on the “Via” link down below. It seems like they were having a great time, which is heartening to see after they’ve gone through a lot together, and allegedly at each other’s hands.

For those unaware, Bhad Bhabie had accused Le Vaughn of domestic violence earlier this year. “I wasn’t gonna speak on this but who said I was staying?” she previously stated, which is apparently not the case anymore. “What about that post made y’all think I’m staying? Bc I said I love him? Bc I said he’s gonna get help? I’m so confused and apparently so are yall.” “She did that for a reason, I ain’t do that. If I did that she wouldn’t be with me,” Le Vaughn responded to the allegations.

Elsewhere, fans are still talking about Bhad Bhabie’s cancer diagnosis, which some people did not respectfully react to. “How dare you – you little vile piece of s**t – say my daughter would lie about something like that?” her mother ranted against someone who thought the rapper is faking everything. “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. Go find another way to make some money instead of talking s**t about other people. Is this the only way you can make money, talking s**t about people? How dare you!”

Meanwhile, at least Bhad Bhabie and Le Vaughn are finding small and personal moments to celebrate amid all the drama, such as the latter’s recent birthday. Hopefully she continues to recover well and be successful on that journey, and that they continue to heal.

November 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bhad Bhabie recently shocked her followers via social media on Thursday (November 7) by revealing that she’s taking medication for cancer. “I’m sorry my cancer medicine made me [lose] weight,” she shared with her fans via an Instagram Story post. “I’m slowly gaining it back. So stop running with the worst narratives.” Many fans hope that the rapper is in remission, although this is just a speculative interpretation given the lack of detailed information we have on the matter. Per TMZ, some new pictures emerged of her boyfriend Le Vaughn out for a stroll in Los Angeles on Friday (November 8) with their child after this news broke. Their daughter was born in March of this year.

According to the outlet, Bhad Bhabie is currently under a doctor’s care, which is why she was not present in these new photos. You can check them out for yourself by clicking on the “Via” link further down below. In any case, we wish them the best during this difficult and surely stressful process.

“How dare you – you little vile piece of s**t – say my daughter would lie about something like that?” Bhad Bhabie’s mother Barbara Ann Bregoli responded on Instagram to Perez Hilton’s theory that the cancer diagnosis is a fake plea for attention. “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. Go find another way to make some money instead of talking s**t about other people. Is this the only way you can make money, talking s**t about people? How dare you! And I pray to God one of your children never gets cancer. I’ve had it twice. How dare you say my daughter’s faking this, you vile piece of no good s**t? God don’t like ugly. You need to remember that.”

Furthermore, this comes after a lot of past issues between Bhad Bhabie and Le Vaughn concerning their relationship. Hopefully he can support her appropriately during this process, and we wish her a speedy recovery.

Bhad Bhabie’s Mom Confirms Cancer Diagnosis In Scathing Rant

November 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bhad Bhabie is certainly no stranger to hate, and recently, she fired back at trolls criticizing her body with a bombshell revelation. According to her, she’s lost weight due to a medication she’s taking for cancer. “I’m sorry my cancer medicine made me [lose] weight,” the personality wrote. “I’m slowly gaining it back. So stop running [with] the worst narratives.”

Supporters have been flooding Bhad Bhabie with words of support, but unfortunately, not everyone believed her diagnosis. Perez Hilton, for example, recently shared a theory that she could be faking it for attention. This prompted her mother, Barbara Ann Bregoli, to come to her defense.

Bhad Bhabie Reveals Cancer Diagnosis After Fans Comment On Weight Loss

November 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bhad Bhabie shocked the music world on November 7. The rapper and social media presence has been the subject of intense scrutiny regarding her appearances. Fans pointed out that she had recently lost a lot of weight, and speculated as to why. Bhad Bhabie got tired of the speculating, and decided to set the record straight. The rapper revealed that she has been taking cancer medication. The bombshell news was dropped on her Instagram Story.

Bhad Bhabie criticized fans for “running with the worst narrative” with regards to her life. “I’m sorry my cancer medicine made me lose weight,” she wrote on her IG Story. “I’m slowly gaining it back. So stop running with the worst narratives.” The rapper did not elaborate on what type of cancer she is allegedly battling, or when she was diagnosed. Her comment regarding weight gain, however, led many fans to speculate (and hope) that she is in remission. Bhabie’s frustration with regards to body shaming makes sense. The rapper has had to contend with it for most of her career.

Bhad Bhabie Has Struggled With Weight Gain Historically

Bhad Bhabie talked about her body image, and her struggles with weight, during a 2022 Instagram post. She admitted that she has always had a difficult time putting on weight, and even compared pictures of her when she was younger to her in the present. “I’ve always been under weight no matter how much I ate I could never gain,” she told her followers. “I’ve been 80-85 pounds since I was 12. My goal weight was always 105 but I never thought I would be able to make it past 95.” Bhad Bhabie asserted that she had never been “happier” with the way her body looked.

Bhad Bhabie also admitted to fans that she had work done when she was a teenager. “Funny thing about it is I’ve had a*s shots since I was 17,” she said during the same Instagram post. “I’m just now starting to have a a*s so yes ima call my a*s natural bc it still wasn’t there till I started gaining weight.” Bhad Bhabie also became a mother at the top of the year. She told Paper Magazine that she was thrilled to have a kid, and forge a singular bond. We wish her the best in her recovery process.

Mustard’s Ex Chanel Thierry Exposes Him For Allegedly Faking Cancer Scare

October 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that DJ Mustard and his ex-wife Chanel Thierry’s divorce has gotten messy. Since filing in May of 2022, they’ve battled over assets, their three children, and more. Details of their divorce settlement surfaced online earlier this week, prompting a heated response from Thierry on Threads.

“Although I wasn’t going to say anything being silenced is something I literally fought NOT TO BE,” she wrote. “This ruling was made back in JULY (I went to Belize) to celebrate right after. Now the week I turn the car back to its owner ALL of my business is in the blogs. Of course I know these things are public info, i got that part but the fact I knew u would be so petty to let everyone know you ‘took the car’ and acted as if my back CS was payment for the car and it’s not. It’s just that, BACKED CS.”

Thierry didn’t stop there, however. She went on to accuse her ex of faking a cancer scare to prevent her from leaving him. “Playing the silent’ [role] while intentionally dragging me through hell for 2 years (u promised u would make divorce hell for me and you did) i have the text messages still,” she alleged. “You made sure your PR team dragged this play each way to make me look bad for 2 years! And You are still doing it. Please leave me alone and stop using me for publicity and record sales. Check the date, after he filed in May 2022 he ‘claimed’ to have cancer to make me stay in the house. I left in July. Of course no cancer.”

Brian McKnight Slammed For Celebrating His Stepson With Moving Tribute As Biological Son Battles Cancer

September 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Brian McKnight is facing backlash on social media for a pair of posts on his Instagram page from Friday. In one, he paid tribute to his stepson in honor of his birthday while in another, he discussed parenting for a new series he described as “Fatherhood Fridays.” In the episode, he didn’t mention his biological son, Niko, who is currently battling cancer.

“Trolling your biological children is childish especially at a time like this. You’re doing all that for an audience forgetting that GOD is the one truly watching,” one user commented on the birthday tribute. In response to the “Fatherhood Friday” video, one fan posted: “What about your other biological children. Are you not proud of them? Where are they in this?” Others did come to his defense. “Keep your head up B! Don’t listen to the haters!” one user wrote under the birthday tribute. “Your talent will always stand above the rest.” One more added: “He probably get more love from him then he do from his real son so that’s who he acknowledges. And I get it. Period. Celebrate those who celebrate you.”

McKnight previously denied the accusations of being a deadbeat father, instead suggesting that he and his current wife, Leilani, “jumped into action” when they learned of Niko’s battle with cancer. Speaking about the situation during an Instagram Q&A in April, the singer put the blame on his ex-wife, Julie. He argued she told him to stay away, to which she labeled him a “liar” in a statement to Page Six.

In the “Fatherhood Friday” video, McKnight also called out someone by the name of Rick. “I wanted to have a guest today, but as you can see, I’m here by myself so I guess he wasn’t man enough to have a conversation about fatherhood,” he said. He may have been referring to Rickey Smiley, who previously criticized his relationship with his kids. Check out the two posts below.

Eminem’s Mother Reportedly Diagnosed With Terminal Illness

September 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

According to a new report from In Touch Weekly, Eminem’s mother Debbie Mathers is terminally ill following a lung cancer diagnosis. This is still an early story in development with no official confirmation at press time, so take this news with a grain of salt. Nevertheless, according to an alleged source who reportedly spoke to the outlet, “[t]here are not many options [for Debbie]. She is currently staying between the cancer center and with family members. She has a very limited amount of time [left].” Furthermore, the 69-year-old’s superstar son Marshall has taken care of her financially for many years, per this report and alleged source. But they apparently haven’t contacted each other for a long time.

“People around her aren’t even sure if Eminem is even aware of what is happening to his mother,” the alleged source claimed. “He’s good to his mom. He makes sure he takes care of her, but they don’t really talk. It would be good for both of them [to communicate]. This could give them the chance to reconcile.” As you probably already know, the two have had a very complicated relationship over the years.

But this is sadly not Debbie Mathers’ first experience with cancer, as she was previously diagnosed with breast cancer. “I’m still under doctor’s care, which I probably will be for a while,” she told The Village Voice back in 2018. “Basically a lot of the stuff is hereditary, but that happens. Cancers and heart disease and all that, and all the genetic things … I worry about my boys, having high blood pressure and things.”

While the relationship between Eminem and his mother is a rocky one, they always come together at the end of the day. “Marshall, I want to say, I could not let this day go by without congratulating you on your induction into the [Rock and Roll] Hall of Fame,” she told him in 2022. “I love you very much. I knew you’d get there. It’s been a long ride. I’m very, very proud of you. And also I’m very proud of Hailie Jade, my big girl. I want to tell you Hailie, great job on your podcast and God bless you guys. I love you very much.” Our best wishes, hopes, and prayers go out to Debbie Mathers and her family during this difficult time.

Keefe D Reveals His Cancer Has Returned Amid 2Pac’s Murder Trial

June 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Duane “Keefe D” Davis, who is facing murder charges for the killing of 2Pac, says he’s suffering from cancer and the conditions in jail are exacerbating his health problems. Appearing in court for a hearing on Tuesday, he attempted to get out on bond with the help of Wack 100. In pleading his case, he argued that his cancer had returned.

“I got cancer,” he said candidly, “I been in jail eating processed food. I had colon cancer… they serve all this processed food, they don’t serve no fruit, it’s terrible. Fake potatoes, fake milk. Fake everything. It ain’t good for an ex-cancer patient. I got it again.”

Keefe further argued: “They took me to the hospital on May 5. He came into my cell and said, ‘Hurry up and get dressed, you need emergency surgery.’ They referred me to my cancer doctor so I went and seen him on May 8 and he said, ‘I’ll get you to do a colonoscopy in a week, CT scan in two weeks, CT scan in three weeks.’ They haven’t came here to do nothing. I’m in a life situation and I will do anything to save my life.”

While Keefe and Wack were able to come up with the $750,000, the judge denied his bond request over suspicions as to where the money came from. Additionally, the court wasn’t buying Wack’s reasoning for wanting Keefe out. Be on the lookout for further updates on Duane “Keefe D” Davis on HotNewHipHop.
