6ix9ine Officially Loses His Cars After Being Auctioned Off By The IRS

July 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

6ix9ine’s career continues to be in a tailspin after losing two cars at a recent IRS auction (no pun intended). According to XXL, the GSA (General Services Administration) closed of the bidding war for the Bushwick, Brooklyn native’s 2019 Lamborghini Urus and his 2017 Bentley Continental GT Speed. The final price for each high-performance luxury vehicle are as follows. For the Lambo SUV, the winning bidder is taking it home for $175,043. There were a total of 30 people making offers. Then, for the massive coupe, the final number hit $85,500 with 16 vying for it. Originally, both automobiles were listed at $20,000 on July 8. Overall, it is a little surprising that they did not sell for a little more.

However, these brands do poorly with depreciation. Furthermore, with each car having in a paint-splattered wrap on top of an over-the-top paint job, it does begin to make sense. If you remember, 6ix9ine had these vehicles seized by the IRS from his Lake Worth, Florida home this past April. He was not on the premises when the division of the U.S. Treasury department swooped in. Several videos of the cars being shown after the fact went quite viral as well.

6ix9ine Loses His Two Cars For Over $260,000 At Hands Of IRS

This all stems from a $9,825,000 lawsuit back in 2021 from Alexis Salaberrios, an exotic dancer at the Gold Rush Cabaret in Miami. She was struck by a bottle thrown by 6ix9ine after he was allegedly called a rat by someone at the club. It led to that outburst and Salaberrios receiving a nasty head injury. All of this continues to beg a lot of questions surrounding the future of 6ix9ine.

What are your thoughts on 6ix9ine losing his cars to an IRS auction? How do you feel about the prices for each one? Is the rapper’s image completely in the trash, or can he come back from all of this? What should be his next move? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

November 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Rick Ross has revealed that he needs to use a private jet hanger to store the huge amount of luxury cars in his possession. He detailed his collection during a series of recent posts on his Instagram Story. After promoting his new album with Meek Mill, Too Good To Be True, Ross took fans on a tour showing off his cars as well as his private jet.

“Number one album in the streets, me and Meek Mill’s Too Good To Be True. But salute and congratulations to all the artists that released their projects along with us. But we need everybody to stream, download, and post Too Good To Be True. And once again, salute to the real DJs, the real platforms, blogs, etc.” From there, he remarked that he’ll be giving shout-outs all week.

Ross and Meek’s Too Good To Be True only ended up selling just over 31,000 copies in its first week. Meek addressed the low figure during a rant on Twitter when the initial projections came in. He wrote at the time: “It’s says me and Ross on pace to sell 35k first week I would post if it said 350k… I’m too nice and rich to be rapping in a control music environment that’s why we dropping music on Fridays it’s doesn’t make sense …. Now we all own our music we getting the tech built to put people on our own musical subscriptions and we gone let direct to consumer see if rap if doing well.” Shortly afterward, Meek added in another post: “Staring at social media fantasizing about others lives and getting mentally sick! I seen it happen to so many people! It’s like a clout zombie effect.”

Rick Ross On Maintaining His Luxury Cars

Soulja Boy’s Ex Permitted To Seize Vehicles, Cash, And More For Lawsuit Damages

October 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Last month, Soulja Boy’s ex-girlfriend, Kayla Myers, motioned to seize some of the rapper’s assets to collect the damages awarded to her in her assault case. The rapper was ordered to pay Myers $472K, but he claimed he was unable to pay due to financial struggles. He motioned to dismiss the damages, but the judge denied it.

“Defendant must be earning money from somewhere sufficient to pay for the rent and whatever other monthly expenses he has,” the judge explained. “In other words, defendant is paying $300,000/year in rent alone. It stands to reason that he must have some other living expenses. And that money must come from somewhere.” Now, the judge has granted officers permission to seize Soulja Boy’s cars and cash on behalf of his ex. Officers will be allowed to take any cash in excess of $1K.

In his motion to dismiss the damages, Soulja Boy claimed that he owes the IRS $1 million in back taxes. He also cited steep rental payments for his LA mansion, which he says costs him $25K per month. The judge advised Soulja Boy to scale back his living situation in order to pay off his debt.

Myers sued the rapper back in 2020, accusing him of kidnapping and assaulting her at a Malibu house party the year prior. Her awarded damages are to cover her mental health expenses, as well as the physical and mental suffering the alleged assault caused her. “Mr. Way [Soulja Boy] assaulted and terrorized Kayla, and that was borne out by the evidence and testimony,” Myers’ attorney stated. “The punitive damages were substantial, and hopefully they will serve as a lesson to Mr. Way that his celebrity status is not a license to commit violence.” What do you think of the court granting officers permission to seize Soulja Boy’s property on behalf of his ex? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Soulja Boy.

Ludacris Reveals He Still Has His Car From The ’90s

August 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

During a recent interview as part of Men’s Health‘s series “The Rewind,” Ludacris revealed something he’s held on to since early on in his career. Apparently, the artist still owns the 1993 Acura Legend he purchased before he made it big. According to him, the vehicle serves as a reminder of what he’s gone through to get to where he is. He also says the car keeps his head in the right place, allowing him to remain down-to-earth.

Though he may have acquired a few more whips since back in the day, he still says that his old Acura is his top pick. When the interviewer showed him a photo of himself sitting on the hood of the car, he shared the story. “I still got my 1993 Acura Legend to this day. It has over 253,000 miles on it,” Ludacris explained. “It’s still my favorite car. You know why? Because it keeps me grounded. It’s my anchor.”

He went on, noting how it helps remind him of where he came from. “I had this car before I got a major record deal and started making millions of dollars. And I still have that car now because it reminds me of the hustle and the struggle of everything that I went through and it brings me back to where I first started.”

It’s no doubt that Ludacris has managed to make some pretty major contributions since his debut. The artist was just honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame earlier this summer. Various celebrity guests showed up to support him, like LL Cool J, Queen Latifah, Vin Diesel, Tyrese, and more. The performer’s oldest daughter, Karma, even surprised him by giving a moving speech at the ceremony. “I was fighting tears. Seriously, I was glad that I had my sunglasses on today,” he said after the touching moment. “That blew me away. Usually, it’s not easy for people to keep certain things from me, but that was 100 percent a surprise.”

Tinie Tempah To Host New Series About Classic Cars Called “Bangers”

July 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Tinie Tempah is set to host an upcoming TV show called Bangers. The Channel Four series will showcase various classic cars, exploring the history behind them. The rapper and motor-head will also be taking each one for a test drive. According to reports, the series is set to fill a hole for car-enthusiasts left by the cancellation of Top Gear. Top Gear was cancelled by BBC after the show’s presenter, Freddie Flintoff, got into a car crash that almost cost him his life.

In December of last year, Flintoff and a crew member of the show were driving in a open-top vehicle when they flipped over. A source shared more details of the crash with The Sun in February. “The injuries were more severe as the car didn’t have a roof,” the source explained, “It was a freak accident and somehow the car flipped over and the two men were dragged along.”

Bangers To Replace Top Gear

The source also went on to describe the unique challenges Top Gear was facing due to logistics involved with it’s production. According to reports, Flintoff was left physically and mentally injured by the high-speed car wreck. BBC said that they felt it would be “inappropriate” to continue to series.

A source claims that Bangers is “filling the Top Gear hole for petrolhead viewers and is headed for primetime.” They additionally told The Sun, “It will celebrate classic cars from the Seventies, Eighties and Nineties.” “It will unearth unique classics and real gems of the decades,” the source continued. They also say Tinie will “visit the cars’ owners and look at their history.” The source called Tinie “a great option” to host the show due to his major appreciation for cars.

Snoop Dogg’s Iconic Snoop DeVille Bought By Texas Cadillac Dealer

June 13, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Snoop Dogg’s classic lowrider, a 1996 Cadillac DeVille just emerged at a Texas Cadillac dealership over the weekend. According to TMZ, the car now belongs to the newly opened Cadillac of Arlington dealership as a permanent fixture. The car became pretty recognizable after its appearance in the 2003 music video for Snoop and 50 Cent’s “P.I.M.P Remix.” Sometime after that video was made, the car was sold in a private auction. Its whereabouts were unknown until just a few days ago when the Arlington dealership had its grand opening party re-introducing it to the public. The car’s previous owner told TMZ he recently made a deal to sell the classic Snoop DeVille to the dealership.

As usual, Snoop Dogg has been in the headlines a lot recently. His bid to become the first black owner of an NHL team has drawn quite a lot of attention recently. The Ottawa Senators are for sale and Snoop is part of a group looking to buy them. His ownership group is engaged in a bigging war with another group led by Ryan Reynolds and reportedly including The Weeknd. He seemed to hint at a purchase potentially being made soon when he showed off some custom Senators sweatpants on Instagram last week. There haven’t been any updates on the buying process since then, however.

Snoop Dogg’s Snoop DeVille Has A New Home

Those sweatpants weren’t the only custom drip Snoop Dogg has shown off recently. He also took to Instagram to flex a new custom Wu-Tang-inspired chain the other day. The video showed off the elaborate piece of jewelry over one of the group’s iconic songs. It isn’t the first time Snoop has paid tribute to the New York legends either.

What fans really want to know more about is Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre’s upcoming album Missionary. The pair recently teased the forthcoming project once again with a photo of them in the studio shared on Instagram. Tell us what you think about the Snoop DeVille ending up in a Texas dealership in the comment section below.

Rick Ross Announces The Winners Of His Car Show

June 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Rick Ross has announced the winners of his car show. Each of them was rewarded with custom-made chains inspired by automobiles. The chains, designed to resemble Rolls-Royce cars, were showcased on Instagram earlier this week. In a post on Tuesday, Rick Ross celebrated the winners of the car show. He mentioned that he had spent approximately $300,000 on jewelry prizes for the event. One of the standout chains, known as “The Biggest” Rolls-Royce chain, was awarded to Instagram user @713AB, who was recognized as the “Hustler of the Year.” Ross congratulated @713AB and hailed them as Houston’s finest.

During the announcement, Rick Ross compared the car show to the Olympics and showcased the prize chains. He stated again that they were worth over $300,000 in total. He explained that the bottom row of chains represented the heavyweights, recognizing the best car and best bike. However, the top row honored the “Hustler of the Year” and “Best Hot Rod.” The car show organized by Rick Ross was attended by various influential figures in the industry. These included Diddy, Tyler The Creator, 2 Chainz, and Gunplay. The event was well-received by the local car enthusiasts, even if there was some drama about the mess after the fact.

Rick Ross Doesn’t Mind If You Parachute In, Just Don’t Climb The Gate

A post shared by Biggest Boss Rick Ross (@richforever)

Yesterday, it was revealed that one superfan had parachuted into Rick Ross’ yard to see the show. In a surprising turn of events, Ross expressed admiration for the daring fan. He also voiced his hope that the individual wouldn’t face legal consequences. However, he jokingly mentioned his disappointment in not being informed beforehand about the timing of the jump. Ross humorously stated, “The only thing I didn’t like about it is he didn’t tell me what time to expect him jumping out of the goddamn plane and landing in my backyard.” He recounted rushing to the scene where the fan was being apprehended. However, he appeared pleased and requested not to press charges.

While Ross appreciated the fan’s audacious act, he did issue a warning that if someone were to jump the gate, he would handle the situation differently. However, if they were to parachute, he simply requested prior notice. Alongside the incident involving the parachuting fan, there were complaints about the aftermath of the show. Reports indicated that a nearby plaza was allegedly left in disarray by attendees who were unable to access the car show but decided to party there instead. Ross’s attorney denied any connection between the rapper and the littering, but local residents are urging him to take responsibility. What do you think of the winners of the car show? Let us know below!

May 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Cardi B recently took to social media, sharing a clip of herself touring her extensive car collection. She showed off a red Ferrari SUV gifted by her husband, Offset, as well as a black Maybach SUV, and more. In the clip, she says, “F***in cars, it just collects dust.” She goes on to describe her Ferrari, “I wonder if it even turns on…this gift Offset gave me, she’s pretty but I ain’t seen her in forever. I gotta bring my Maybach to New York.” The rapper continues, “Just collecting dust, we might as well just sell the f***ing cars. We might as well just sell the f***ing cars. Oh my God, look at my f***ing Maybach.”

Earlier today, it was announced by Latto that the remix of her song “Put It On Da Floor” alongside Cardi B will be released this Friday. She shared a clip on Instagram, saying she’s about to “‘Put It On Da Floor’ again.” In the video, Cardi is seen sat down with a plastic bag over her head. Latto later removes the bag, saying, “Rip her out the plastic, she’s been acting brand new.”

Cardi B also shared a post last week, honoring Takeoff amid news that his alleged murderer, Patrick Xavier Clark, was formally charged. She wrote, “What an angel god bless[ed] this Earth with.” Her post continued, “Protect your brothers and your family. I know you see the tears I know you see them looking at the sky askin why….. What a beautiful soul to take.”

Last week, YouTuber Tasha K. filed for bankruptcy following Cardi B’s defamation lawsuit against her. Cardi sued Tasha K. after she alleged online that Cardi worked as an escort prior to her successful rap career, and that the artist had contracted an STI. She shot down the claims and took Tasha K. to court, resulting in the ongoing saga. Cardi is supposed to receive nearly $4 million in light of winning the legal battle.

Floyd Mayweather Jr. Shows Off Fleet Of Cars

May 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Floyd Mayweather Jr. is an iconic boxer. Also known as “Money”, “Pretty Boy”, and “TBE”, Mayweather Jr. defined an era of pugilism. He went 50-0 in a career that spanned two decades. The last time Mayweather professionally stepped into the ring was in 2017, when he downed Conor McGregor. Since then, he has participated in a number of exhibition fights. He is next scheduled to fight in June 2023. His opponent will be John Gotti III, an MMA fighter and grandson of famed New York mobster John A. Gotti.

However, outside the ring, Mayweather Jr. is synonymous with luxury and expensive tastes. Befitting his “Money” nickname, Mayweather Jr. is not afraid to spend. He owns a NASCAR team. However, he has also faced legal issues and public scrutiny over his involvement in cryptocurrency. But perhaps the best-known aspect of Maywather’s wealth is his love of expensive cars.

A post shared by Floyd Mayweather (@floydmayweather)

Mayweather Jr. showed off some of his collection in a recent Instagram post. “The Money Team got homes all over the planet. At this particular property it’s 17 cars in a 30-car garage. The two other garages hold 5 cars each. I like to call it May Theft Auto,” read the caption. Mayweather’s collection is impressive in terms of the luxury cars on display. However, there is one noticeable feature that puts a dampener on the video.

Every single car that Mayweather Jr. shows off in the video is in black. While this works for the likes of a Rolls, Bentley, or Jag, it’s more questionable for other vehicles on display. For example, Mayweather Jr. shows off a black Ferrari, which feels completely out of place given the car’s place in popular culture as an iconic red vehicle. Furthermore, this is not the first time Mayweather Jr. has shown off his collection. The boxer previously went viral for his car collection, which he says numbers over 100, with videos in 2019 and 2021. What do you think of Mayweather’s collection? Let us know in the comments.
