Jadakiss Blasts Casino For Alleged Racial Profiling After They Kick Him Out

December 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jadakiss is one of the most enduring and consistently great rappers in the culture, and a staple of lyricism and work ethic. Still, not everyone is caught up to this reality, and a casino staff recently got his staunch ire for treating him with alleged disdain. Moreover, the New York MC called out The Nomad in Las Vegas after they kicked him out as he gambled for unknown reasons. While he was spending and losing) a lot of money, the venue workers still asked him to leave, which was a bizarre interaction. The LOX legend remarked on his absurd wealth when commenting on his desire to never return, and even alluded to racism being the driving force behind this act.

“That was nasty,” the person behind the camera said in the video below. “Don’t worry about it, we at 5 million, don’t worry. We good, go.” “Don’t ever gamble at The Nomad ever again!” Jadakiss stated in the clip. “Last Usher show is tomorrow, I don’t know what happened. I’ve been gambling in here since Wednesday, I’m a tax-paying citizen. I’ve been losing my shirt, socks, everything! They coming to me at the end of the night talking about, ‘I need your…’ I didn’t lose that much, and I didn’t win nothing! Is this racial profiling? I’m out of here, I’m never coming back. And I’m a millionaire.“

Jadakiss Left Furious After Casino Kicks Him Out: Watch

Even though Jada has an incredible career, he also has plenty of moments like these that are more frustrating– just like anyone else has them. In fact, he recently recalled his worst show ever to Dave East, which was more embarrassing than angering in comparison to this moment. “It was probably our first European tour, late ’90s in London and I ran out of underwear,” the 48-year-old recalled. “One of my homies from my block here lived in London too. So I’m like, ‘Yo Nerf, I need some boxers for the show. He’s like, ‘Don’t worry I got you.’ We looking and there’s nothing, though. I had a pair of Speedos. I had the worst s**ts ever. It was my worst show ever in life. I felt horrible.”

Meanwhile, at least he’s enjoying a lot of shows today. The D-Block affiliate recently gave 50 Cent his flowers and praised his The Final Lap Tour. Let’s just hope that he doesn’t forget this incident the next time they invite him to gamble after a concert. For more news and the latest updates on Jadakiss, come back to HNHH.

Chief Keef & Adin Ross Win Big At The Casino In Just Five Minutes: Watch

October 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Chief Keef and Adin Ross have become some sort of dynamic duo as of late. Overall, it all started this weekend as Keef performed at Adin Ross’ birthday bash. In fact, this birthday bash went quite viral thanks to the fact that Ross rapped the N-word while up on stage with Keef. Although the rapper let him say it, a lot of people took issue with this. However, as it turns out, Ross doesn’t really care about any backlash. After all, Kick doesn’t really seem to do anything about these things.

Aside from the aforementioned performance, it seems as though Adin and Chief Keef got to hang out with one another. In the video below, you can see that they ended up hitting the Casino and played a game of cards. Adin is known for gambling on his streams, so the trip to the Casino should have come as no surprise. However, it wasn’t Ross who won big this time around. Instead, it was actually Keef.

As you can see, the two sat down to play a game of cards. In just five minutes, Keef came up to about $30K in winnings. It was some quick and easy work that led him to cashing out right away. After all, the rapper didn’t want to press his luck. You never know when you might lose it all, and cashing out is something that a lot of gamblers could learn to do. No matter what, it was an impressive showing from the rapper.

With Chief Keef running it up at the Casino, perhaps more visits are in order. Of course, the odds of winning like this again are pretty slim. However, some are more excited about taking risks than others. Let us know if you’ve ever won big at the Casino, in the comments section below.

Beyonce Was Nowhere To Be Found At Jay-Z’s Fundraising Casino Event, Here Is Why

October 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Over the weekend, Jay-Z put together a star-studded party for a big cause. The event was held at the Ocean Resort Casino in Atlantic City and it was to help fundraise for criminal justice reform. Along with Hov, Meek Mill, Michael Rubin, and the REFORM Alliance assisted in the planning. Every A-lister you could think of was in attendance. People from music, to sports, Hollywood, etc., were dressed in all black for the James Bond-like theme. Additionally, Beyonce was also busy this weekend.

Kevin Hart was the host and there were also some big-time performances. Travis Scott, Lil Baby, Quavo, and more rocked the stage. But, as we mentioned, there was one obvious superstar missing from the festivities. According to PageSix, Beyonce joined Jay on the way to the event but stayed back from actually participating.

Why Was Beyonce Not In Attendance?

For an incredible cause, you would certainly think that she would be by her husband’s side. However, there was a good reason for Queen Bey to miss out. In addition to supporting Jay-Z, she also wrapped up her Renaissance World Tour in Kansas City on Sunday evening, October 1. Presumably, the event lasted well into the late night, so it makes sense for Beyonce to get some much-needed rest.

What are your initial thoughts on Beyonce not being a part of Jay-Z’s casino party for fundraising criminal justice? Do you think some people are going to make a big deal about this? If you were Jay-Z would you be upset or understanding of Beyonce? We want to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all the latest breaking news around Beyonce, Jay-Z, and the rest of the music world.

Jay-Z & Roc Nation’s NYC Casino Bid Moves Forward In A Major Way

May 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

He’s certainly in an “Empire State of Mind.” As his wife, Beyoncé, makes undeniably major money moves with the launch of her RENAISSANCE World Tour on Wednesday (May 10) in Stockholm, Jay-Z and Roc Nation are taking care of business in New York. Previously, in 2022, it was announced that the 4:44 hitmaker and his label have joined forces with a group of investors looking to open a casino in Times Square. In the latest update on their bid, TMZ reports that Hov and co. are taking out full-page ads in various publications across the city this week, which will give locals the opportunity to read an open letter detailing their plans.

“It’s time, Times Square,” they began. “Dear New York, A gaming license is going to be awarded to [NYC]. A bill was passed in the state legislature confirming it. The question is: which applicant will get the license? Some conflicted parties have attempted to spread misinformation, so we wanted to speak to you, New York City, directly.” Jay-Z and Roc Nation went on to point out that the candidate selected must have a strong track record of “turning words into deeds” as well as putting the city and its people first, regardless of their race, religion, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or socio-economic status.

Jay-Z and Roc Nation’s Open Letter to New York

According to them, it will chiefly benefit “everyday New Yorkers” along with various businesses in the city. Reports claim that the mega-project would be built into the top eight floors of an existing Times Square skyscraper. The building is located in the middle of Broadway’s theatre district. It’s worth noting that producers and theatre owners have been markedly expressing disinterest in seeing the casino built. Roc Nation is attempting to counter this by including $115M for “diverse programs” aiding Broadway employees in their bid.

Jay-Z and his team hope to keep the “well-being of New Yorkers at the top of their agenda.” They’re facing off against several competitors for the coveted spot, including Steve Cohen of Wynn Resorts and the Mets. Each bid has proposed a different location for their casino. It’s been said that NY State will likely make a final decision before the end of 2023. Do you think Times Square is a good choice for the father of three’s latest business venture? Let us know in the comments, and tap back in later for more pop culture news updates.
