Tia Kemp To Chrisean Rock: “I Thought I Liked You When You Had That Big Face Baby, Lookin’ Like Charles Barkley”

January 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Parenthood has certainly brought with it massive changes into Chrisean Rock’s life, especially now that her co-parent, Blueface, is behind bars. Before he turned himself in to the authorities, the internet saw non-stop feuding between the Cr*zy In Love co-stars. Unsurprisingly, the California native’s other baby mama, Jaidyn Alexis, is also a part of the mess. With Blue expecting to spend a year in the slammer, his MILF Music signee is keeping herself busy with a woman. On the other hand, Rock has been going above and beyond to prove her loyalty to her “Lit” collaborator, even getting a massive face tattoo dedicated to him after previously removing another.

The Baltimore native lost upwards of 200K followers on Instagram after showing off her bold new ink. Other responses have been pouring in online, including one from Rick Ross’ ex, Tia Kemp, who wants to see Rock focusing more on motherhood and less on reconciling a toxic relationship. “I thought I liked you when you had that little big face baby, looking like Charles Barkley,” she began ranting on TikTok Live recently. “Chrisean, you had two years to run around and beat up everybody, baby.”

“Rocky, go turn to a pebble off ‘The Flinstones,’ take Mr. Purpleface with you, and get baby over to a daycare or something,” Kemp suggested. “So he can learn how to crawl. We tryna see milestones! What are you doing? We wanna see if he crawling, ‘cuz he should be holding a bottle by now,” she further asserted.

For the most part, Chrisean Rock has refused to respond to the internet’s questions about her infant son’s health. Some are certain Junior suffers from Cri Du Chat syndrome, a genetic condition that wouldn’t have been caused by any irresponsible behaviour during pregnancy. Elsewhere, others argue that the 23-year-old was reckless while carrying her first child, potentially resulting in FAS or Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.

Charles Barkley Reacts To Draymond Green Return

January 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Charles Barkley has praised Draymond Green, but warned the veteran star to keep himself out of trouble. “It’s great to have Draymond back, great to have him back. He’s a very good player, he’s good for the NBA. I hope he gets rid of the antics because he’s a very good player and a good dude, but like I said, he’s got to stop putting himself in bad situations,” Barkley told TMZ.

Green himself said he was done with “antics” as he prepared to return to the Warriors after his 12-game suspension. “I’ve cost my team enough. I’ve cost this organization enough,” Green said Tuesday. After three-and-a-half weeks of therapy, Green acknowledged that has been able to see where he went wrong. “It was very easy to open myself up [to therapy] from a personal standpoint because I needed to gather myself, to recenter myself and to recalibrate. It’s hard to see things when you’re just in it, it’s hard to see what’s necessary to see,” Green said.

Warriors Hoping That Draymond Green Has Changed

However, it’s not just Barkley who is hoping that Green keeps himself out of trouble. The Warriors are hoping that Green will keep his nose clean after being suspended twice in the first month-and-a-half of the season. “I’m just open-minded. He’s still obviously a huge part of this thing and a huge part of our leadership. He is going to reassume that mantle. But he needs the awareness that comes with what he’s just gone through and what he has put the team through, as well,” head coach Steve Kerr said. However, he also noted that Green was now operating under a “no buts” system of accountability.

Additionally, despite his return, Green revealed that retirement was a very possibility for him. “I told him, ‘Adam this is too much for me,’” Green said on his podcast, referring to Commissioner Adam Silver. However, he said that Silver talked him out of what the commissioner called a “rash decision”. Furthermore, Green praised Silver for his leadership. “[I’m] thankful for playing in a league with a commissioner like Adam who’s more about helping you than hurting you,” Green said.

Blueface Says Chrisean Jr Looks Like Charles Barkley, Says The Baby Isn’t His

December 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Blueface is back to antagonizing Chrisean Rock. A video recently emerged of the rapper saying that their child together, Chrisean Jr, looks like “Charles Barkley”. Blue reshared the video to his X page alongside a string of posts expressing his disdain for Rock and her constant presence in his life. However, Blue also appeared to imply that Chrisean Jr was not his son. “That baby looks nothing like me idk why she keep forcing this on me that’s not my child scientifically proven already ,” Blue wrote. Minutes later, he reshared the video of him making roasting the child.

Despite these claims, fans were unconvinced about Blue’s comments. “Well what was the point of you poppin up to her crib that day claiming your son was at home with no parents?! Now he not your son?” one person noted. Despite repeated claims that he was done with Rock, including later tweeting that he was going to get a restraining order against her, Blue just can’t seem to stop using her to stay in the public eye.

Chrisean Rock Claims Blueface Punched Her

However, the “Charles Barkley” moment was perhaps the only humorous part of the Chrisean Jr drop-off video. Rock later took to Instagram Live to claim that Blue had physically assaulted her. Specifically, she claimed that he had punched her while she was holding Chrisean Jr in his home. Blue has denied the allegations, claiming that Rock arrived at his home unannounced and uninvited and that she never came inside.

The allegations come a few days after Blue declared that fighting people makes him “horny”. The bizarre confession came after Soulja Boy unsurprisingly no-showed for the physical fight that Blue had challenged him to. However, both the ongoing feud between himself and Rock, along with her assault allegations, is a developing story and we’ll have any updates as and when they emerge.

Zion Williamson Issues Response To Shaq & Charles Barkley

December 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Zion Williamson has been going through it as of late. Overall, ever since he entered the league, there have been concerns about his health. Mostly, this has to do with his weight, which has allegedly gone up to as much as 330 pounds. Ultimately, this is not good, especially when you are supposed to be a franchise cornerstone. Furthermore, things got particularly ugly when the New Orleans Pelicans lost to the Los Angeles Lakers in the In-Season Tournament semi-finals. Since that time, everyone has been calling him fat, including Stephen A. Smith, Shaq, and Charles Barkley.

On Monday night, Williamson had himself a bounce-back game of sorts. He dropped 36 points and was flying all over the court. Furthermore, his team ended up beating the Minnesota Timberwolves who are a team that has been playing spectacular basketball this year. After the game, Williamson was asked about some of the criticisms that have come his way as of late. Although Williamson could have been upset, he was very diplomatic about it, instead. His answer definitely showed some maturity.

Zion Williamson Reacts

“If it comes from a great place and a place where they just wanna see me do better, thank you,” Williamson said. “But if it comes from anywhere else, everyone entitled to their own opinion. Can’t control that.” At the end of the day, Williamson will have to dig deep if he wants to fix his weight. Getting yourself right is absolutely no easy task. However, with the right trainers and the right regimen, Zion could definitely make it happen. At this point, it is just a question of motivation.

Hopefully, Zion Williamson will be able to live up to the hype. He has shown flashes of brilliance, and when he is healthy, he is a beast out on the court. Let us know your thoughts on the basketball star, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Charles Barkley Roasts The Warriors While Interviewing Their Former GM

December 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Charles Barkley has no love for the Warriors. Furthermore, their slow start to the season has given the ex-Suns player plenty of reasons to go in hard on the perennial contenders. He did not pass up an opportunity to do this on a recent episode of Inside The NBA when he was joined by ex-Warriors GM and current ESPN analyst Bob Myers. “I wanna give you credit for jumping off the Titanic before it sunk,” Barkley told Myers. Myers took it all in stride, trying not to go in on his former team too much.

However, it’s no secret that the Warriors are struggling this season. The team is currently 10-11, half a game back from the Play-In Tournament spots. Losing Draymond Green for five games certainly didn’t help. However, head coach Steve Kerr also said that the optimal lineup is still alluding him. “The puzzle hasn’t fit this year. We’ve had a lot of guys playing well, but we may have to think about moving the starting lineup around from game to game depending on who we are facing. I’d still prefer to get something solid, but we haven’t established anything this year. We’re a quarter of a way through so there is a lot of thought that has to go into this,” Kerr said after a close win against Portland.

Charles Barkley Threatens Stephen A. Smith

Thursday was generally a wild one for Barkley as ESPN and TNT put on a joint programming block to celebrate the semifinals of the In-Season Tournament. This meant that Stephen A. Smith joined Inside the NBA and the ITN crew showed him no mercy. Less than a minute into the show, Barkley was already coming for Smith. He warned Smith that it wasn’t First Take and he wouldn’t stand for “all that yelling you do”. Furthermore, Barkley said he’s give Smith an “a– whooping” if the ESPN personality tried anything. Of course, the whole thing was in good fun and Smith appeared to be having a blast. Later Shaq crashed ESPN‘s coverage, pretending to spill a drink on Smith.

As mentioned, the unique crossover event was down in service of ESPN and TNT each holding broadcasting rights for one of the In-Season Tournament semifinals. Pacers-Bucks was broadcast on ESPN while TNT showed Pelicans-Pacers. Saturday’s tournament final will be broadcast on ABC and ESPN2.

Charles Barkley Immediately Threatens Stephen A. Smith During In-Season Tournament Crossover Show

December 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Charles Barkley had exactly zero chill as Stephen A. Smith joined Inside The NBA. Less than a minute into the crossover episode, put on to celebrate the In-Season Tournament in Vegas, Barkley was already coming for Smith. He warned Smith that it wasn’t First Take and he wouldn’t stand for “all that yelling you do”. Furthermore, Barkley said he’s give Smith an “a– whooping” if the ESPN personality tried anything. Of course, the whole thing was in good fun and Smith appeared to be having a blast. Later Shaq crashed ESPN‘s coverage, pretending to spill a drink on Smith.

As mentioned, the unique crossover event was down in service of ESPN and TNT each holding broadcasting rights for one of the In-Season Tournament semifinals. Pacers-Bucks will be broadcast on ESPN while TNT gets Pelicans-Pacers. Saturday’s tournament final will be broadcast on ABC and ESPN2.

Stephen A. Smith Goes On Bizarre Rant About Women

However, a TNT crossover isn’t the only Stephen A. Smith vehicle to recently go off the rails. When asked the question “BBL versus natural” on The Stephen A. Smith Show, Smith went off a nearly five-minute rant. After establishing that he likes women with “curves” and said he needs a woman who has “more A and T than me”, Smith went completely off the rails.

The crux of his rant was that men want a “strong 7” in terms of their partner’s appearance. “10s” are “too much maintenance”, Smith argued. “9s” are also out for Smith because “she got enough people telling her she’s a 10”. The rant continued to get more and more bizarre, with Smith arguing that “too much independence” in a woman is a bad thing because it can reach a level where you (the man) start to feel dependent on your partner. After a certain point, like with many of Smith’s rants, it feels like he ran out of things to say. As a result, his point ends up being something along the lines of “get yourself a woman who is just a little insecure about her own appearance because that’s the best way to keep her around.”

Charles Barkley Presses Adam Silver About Domestic Violence In The NBA On National TV

October 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Charles Barkley used Adam Silver’s appearance on Inside The NBA to confront the league executive about the sharp rise in domestic violence incidents involving NBA players. Silver appeared completely caught off guard by the question. Eventually, he stammered his way through an answer that essentially boiled to “We tell the players that violence is bad”. However, while Silver said that the “consequences are enormous” for the players, the opposite rings true in practice.

The league only suspended repeat offender Miles Bridges for 10 games. Furthermore, they argued that he served 20 games of the original 30-game suspension by being a free agent last season. Meanwhile, Bridges was arrested in recent weeks for violating his protective order against his original victim. Meanwhile, the NBA has said nothing other than the league being “aware of the situation” when it comes to the Kevin Porter Jr. situation. Of course, Silver is never going to say anything revolutionary when it comes to domestic violence. However, it’s far from the answer that Barkley’s question warranted.

Adam Silver Confronted For His Greatest Weakness – Discipline

— Awful Announcing (@awfulannouncing) October 24, 2023

However, the response is typical of the Adam Silver era. Ever since he took over as NBA commissioner in 2014, the league has repeatedly failed to discipline its players. This past summer, the world watched as Silver appeared more comfortable cracking jokes about Ja Morant than actually punishing the Grizzlies star for flaunting his indifference to the NBA’s disciplinary process. Morant received 25 games for flashing a gun on Instagram Live. This was despite it being the second time it had happened and despite Morant begging for forgiveness from the league after the first time.

Silver, much like his NFL counterpoint Roger Goodell, is an owner’s executive. It’s all about the bottom line. Make the league money while ensuring the league doesn’t look too bad in the media. Suspend Morant for about a quarter of the season, but not too long so that the NBA can profit from people tuning in to watch Morant play. However, with domestic violence incidents noticeably on the rise, it remains to be seen what the league is actually going to do about it.

Skip Bayless Names Charles Barkley As “Dream Partner” For “UNDISPUTED”

July 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

June 13 marked the last time Shannon Sharpe would host UNDISPUTED. After seven years, the NFL Hall of Famer left the talk show he co-hosted with Skip Bayless. Reportedly, the relationship between Sharpe and Bayless had drastically deteriorated, prompting Sharpe to leave Fox for greener pastures. Sharpe’s final day was marked by the bizarre retweeting of an adult content creator and a moving behind-the-scenes video of his final broadcast.

Sharpe’s departure was yet another seismic shift in the sports media landscape. It came less than a month after Pat McAfee announced that he was leaving FanDuel to join ESPN. However, Sharpe’s departure didn’t mean that UNDISPUTED was ending. There have been some rumors – Antonio Brown joked that he would be replacing Shannon. Furthermore, there are reports that after being released by ESPN, Keyshawn Johnson might be headed to FS1. However, Bayless has now named his provided co-host. And it’s not a name many people were expecting.

Bayless Names Charles Barkley As Dream Co-Host

“Charles Barkley would be my dream partner for Undisputed.” — @RealSkipBayless pic.twitter.com/vVBTdLFHmd

— The Skip Bayless Show (@SkipBaylessShow) July 6, 2023

“Charles Barkley would be my dream debate partner on Undisputed,” Bayless said. “I would dive out of bed, every morning out here in Los Angeles, as 2 o’clock in the morning to get to work with Charles. Please, Charles. Please come and, please, work with me — me, this damn idiot. What a joy it would be to do battle every day with Charles Barkley, live, on television.” Now Charles Barkley hates Bayless. Straight-up hates him. In fact, Barkley has gone as far as to say that if he had a terminal illness, he would kill Bayless on live TV.

While very unlikely to happen, there is a Sickos element to this idea. UNDISPUTED would become Thunderdome-esque, no holds barred fight. Just pure titles-to-credits verbal violence. However, true Sicko content is an art form. UNDISPUTED featuring Barkley and Bayless would be fun for one episode. But no one wants to watch that level of vitriol every single weekday. Sharpe literally left the show because the ideological clash with Bayless was becoming too divisive. Sure, there is an element of fun to be had from the pairing. But no one legitimately would be willing to sit through this show with these two guys who hate each other as much as Barkley and Bayless do.

Charles Barkley To Leave $5 Million To Auburn University In His Will

July 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Charles Barkley has revealed plans to leave money in his will to Auburn University. The former pro basketball player and sports analyst says it’s his way of ensuring the Alabama university remains diverse. Auburn University is a Primarily White Institution (PWI), with enrollment of Black students falling just below 5% in 2022. Reports come after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled for Affirmative Action to be cut from college admission programs last week.

“In my will, I am leaving Auburn $5 million,” Barkley says, “I’m going to change it to be just for scholarships for Black students. That’s just my way of trying to make sure Auburn stays diverse.” Barkley attended Auburn University from 1981-1984, where he also played college basketball. He played for three seasons before being drafted by the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers as a junior.

Barkley Wants To Ensure Diversity At Auburn

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

“I love Auburn,” he says, “I’ve actually changed it to be used for kids from poor homes.” Barkley then refers to the ruling, revealing that ensuring the inclusion of Black students seems like “the right thing” for him to do. “After that ruling yesterday, my phone was blowing up,” he explained. “I was talking to my friends and said, ‘I need to make sure Black folks always have a place at Auburn. So, I’m gonna change my will and make it exclusive for Black students—all $5 million.” Barkley continued, “It’s just for me the right thing to do. I always want to make sure that Auburn’s diverse.”

The U.S. Supreme Court’s recent ruling is likely to have a major impact on the millions of students applying to colleges this fall. “The Court has effectively ended affirmative action in college admissions. And I strongly — strongly disagree with the Court’s decision,” President Joe Biden said following the ruling. “I believe our colleges are stronger when they are racially diverse. Our nation is stronger … because we are tapping into the full range of talent in this nation.”
