She wrote: “I was fortunate enough to experience this love in close proximity. I’ll miss his hugs and kisses and unconditional devotion and advice. Daddy, it is an honor to be your daughter. Your love lives forever.” Others to speak out included LL Cool J, Ice T, and many more.

Throughout his career, Jones worked with a number of stars in the music industry including Michael Jackson, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, and Ella Fitzgerald, among others, earning him a total of 28 Grammy Awards. With Jackson, he helped create the legendary albums, Off the Wall and Thriller. He also famously recorded “We Are the World” in 1985 with the help of numerous other stars. The song is the eighth-best-selling single of all time, having been created to help raise money to combat the 1983–1985 famine in Ethiopia.

Bhad Bhabie’s Boyfriend Le Vaughn Strolls Out With Their Kid After Her Cancer Reveal

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. This comes shortly after she reconciled with her father, and after her mother already confirmed the cancer diagnosis in a fiery social media message.

“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.

“How dare you – you little vile piece of sh*t – say my daughter would lie about something like that,” Bregoli told Hilton in a video on Instagram. “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 sh*t about other people. Is this the only way you can make money, talking sh*t about people? How dare you!” Bregoli didn’t stop there, however. She went on, revealing that she herself has battled cancer in the past.

“And I pray to God one of your children never gets cancer. I’ve had it twice,” she said. “How dare you say my daughter’s faking this, you vile piece of no good sh*t. God don’t like ugly. You need to remember that.” We wish Bhad Bhabie a full and speedy recovery. What do you think of Bhad Bhabie’s mother confirming her daughter has cancer?

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.

Pouya Reveals XXXTentacion Helped Him During His Girlfriend’s Cancer Diagnosis

April 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Pouya is an influential figure. His early mixtapes, coupled with YouTube channel Nick and Pouya Show, influenced a generation of Florida emcees. XXXTentacion was one of these emcees, as evidenced by an interview clip that was recently posted on social media. X praised Pouya and Denzel Curry as inspirations on his sound. Pouya had never seen the interview clip prior to its resurfacing, and was so overcome with emotion that he shared his experiences with the “Sad” hitmaker on Instagram.

The rapper told followers that he was humbled by XXXTentacion’s comments. “Wow someone just sent me this, I never seen this before,” he wrote. ” Damn man, this made me happy and sad at the same time.” The real revelation came, however, when the rapper started to reflect on a difficult period in his life. A period that was alleviated, somewhat, and aided by X’s presence. Pouya revealed that X was there for him when his girlfriend, Coco, was battling cancer, and offered unconditional support in the process. “I never really talk about this but when Coco was going through cancer X would FaceTime me all the time,” he recalled. “[He’d] give me advice on how to get through it, sucks that he’s gone. Idk this s**t put a fire in me.”

Pouya Claimed XXXTentacion Gave Him Advice

Pouya’s admiration for XXXTentacion has been well-documented. The rapper penned a tribute to X on his 2019 album The South Got Something To Say. The tribute was titled “When Will I See You?” and it features bars in which X’s death prompted him to consider his own mortality. “Murder, overdose, and suicide,” he raps. “Am I the next one to die? Will I fly with Peep or fry? X is written up in the sky.” These thoughts are still weighing heavy on Pouya’s shoulders, evidently, as the rapper recently announced his plans to retire from hip-hop.

Days before his post on XXXTentacion, Pouya issued an official retirement statement. He informed fans that he will stop releasing music after his upcoming album, Album 6. “After grey day and my album, I’m going to be stepping away from music,” he wrote. “It’s been f**king fun but I’m exhausted. Love you f**kers though.” There’s no set release date for Album 6, but fans eager to listen to more Pouya can currently stream his new EP All But 6, Vol. 2 with Fat Nick.

Richard Simmons Reveals Cancer Diagnosis

March 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Richard Simmons, the popular fitness influencer, has revealed that he has cancer. Simmons made the announcement on Facebook, stating that he had skin cancer. The 75-year-old said that it was caught early and he was already undergone procedures to have the cancerous areas removed. He is expected to recover, according to his announcement of the diagnosis.

However, it’s the second time this week Simmons has had to speak on his health. A number of fans took a post about embracing every day to mean that Simmons was dying. “Sorry many of you have gotten upset about my message today. I am not dying. It was a message about saying how we should embrace every day that we have,” Simmons clarified on social media. Despite this assurance, fans were then shocked to learn of his cancer diagnosis.

Olivia Munn Reveals Breast Cancer Diagnosis

However, Simmons is not the only celebrity to recently reveal a cancer diagnosis. Olivia Munn has recently revealed that she has been privately battling breast cancer since April 2023. Munn said in a statement posted to social media that she has had “four surgeries and more days in bed than I can count” since her diagnosis. Furthermore, Munn revealed that she had chosen to keep her battle private so she could “get through some of the hardest parts before sharing.”

Additionally, Munn’s statement was one of thanks. She shared gratitude to everyone from her family to her doctors. However, one paragraph was reserved for comedian John Mulaney. Mulaney and Munn share a young son, Malcolm. “I’m so thankful to John for the nights he spent researching what every operation and medication meant and what side effects and recovery I could expect. For being there before I went into each surgery and being there when I woke up. [He] always placed framed photos of our little boy Malcolm so it would be the first thing I saw when I opened my eyes,” Munn wrote lovingly.
