Shordie Shordie Delivers Beatdown To Fan Throwing Gang Signs: Watch

October 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

A fan recently learned the hard way that you don’t mess with Shordie Shordie. During a recent concert, Shordie stopped performing when he spotted a man in the front row throwing up gang signs and waving a red bandana. The visible unimpressed rapper stared down the fan before rocking him with a right hook. As the man fell to the ground, Shordie and a friend could be seen hitting him at least four more times before the man was escorted from the venue by security. After taking a few moments to compose himself, Shordie continued with his concert. However, he took a moment to yell “What I look like, don’t ever bang on me,” at the man.

The Baltimore native is part of the hip-hop trio Peso Da Mafia with his brother and cousin. His best known hits include “Money Man” and “Betchua”. In 2022, his More Than Music Pt. 2 album included features from Mozzy, Offset, and Rich Homie Quan. The situation regarding the altercation is a developing story.

In a similar vein, there has been a lot of talk of criminality in rap lately. Fulton County DA Fani Willis, who has received a national spotlight for her role in prosecuting Young Thug and Donald Trump, recently defended her choice to submit rap lyrics as evidence. “I think if you decide to admit your crimes over a beat, I’m going to use it. I’m going to continue to do that; people can continue to be angry about it. I have some legal advice: Don’t confess to crimes on rap lyrics if you do not want them used. Or at least get out of my county. I’m not targeting anyone, but you do not get to commit crimes in my county and then decide to brag on it. Which you do as a form of intimidation, and not be held responsible,” Williams told reporters at the start of September.

Two notable examples of Willis submitting rap lyrics as evidence came in August. Willis submitted the music of members of the Drug Rich gang, who were accused of targeting the houses of rich and notable residents of Atlanta. Meanwhile, Willis also submitted Young Thug lyrics as evidence in the ongoing YSL RICO trial.

Drake Accused Of Forgetting Lyrics At ATL Concert; Criticized For “10 Min. Monologues”

September 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It feels like we all collectively attended Drake’s It’s All A Blur tour at some point this summer, even if we didn’t. Each concert delivered several viral moments, whether the different celebrities walking him out each night, the bras thrown on stage, or gifting his fans Chanel bags and all-expenses-paid trips to Turks & Caicos. Drake came through with a memorable run this summer. Following the release of four projects in two years, he ensured fans got the experience they deserved.

His latest stop in Atlanta appeared to be one for the books. Of course, Drake never shies away from showing love to the A. However, he made sure that the A received its flowers. He walked out with Bow Wow, brought out Kai Cenat and Druski, and declared Atlanta “the most important place in rap music.” And while many did seem to enjoy the concert, apparently, not everyone did.

Drake Faces Backlash

Apparently, Drake faced groans when he tried to perform at encore in Atlanta. At least, according to a handful of folks on social media, so we advise that you take this with a grain of salt. One video that began circulating included Drake’s rendition of Ginuwine’s “So Anxious,” a song that he sampled on “Legend.” However, the TikToker who shared the video claimed that they were “waiting for Drake to sing at least one of his songs how he actually recorded them so I can sing along.”

As the clip began circulating on X (Twitter), other fans chimed in, as pointed out by TheNeighborhoodTalk. One fan claimed that they couldn’t “sit there for another motivational speech,” while another said that Drizzy similarly paused his show on numerous occasions to dive into “10 min monologues.” Despite Drake’s success, apparently, not everyone is willing to soak in the inspirational gems he’s provided across the It’s All A Blur tour. Check out the post above and let us know if you shared a similar experience at Drake’s concerts this summer.

Boosie Badazz Claims He Turned Down $250k To Perform At An LGBTQ Event

September 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Boosie Badazz says he once shot down an offer of $250,000 to perform at an event in support of the LGBTQ community. Recalling the offer during a recent interview with The Danza Project, Boosie explained that accepting would’ve gone against his beliefs.

“Companies don’t wanna mess with me for the things I speak about. It’s a lot of losses and it’s a lot of gains also. But I’m not being real for money,” Boosie said. “If that’s the case, I can sell my soul for anything. I’ve been offered a quarter-million to go to perform at LGBT community things, big money. I told them I have nothing against it at all, but that’s not what I push and that’s not what I believe in.”

In addition to losing out on the $250,000, Boosie’s homophobia has also resulted in numerous public feuds over the years. He once called Lil Nas X a slur while telling the then-22-year-old to kill himself. Boosie was upset with Nas’ 2021 performance at that year’s BET Awards, during which he kissed another man. He has also had beef with Gabrielle Union, calling out the actress for supporting her transgender daughter.

Boosie Badazz On Turning Down Offer To Support LGBTQ Community

Despite the numerous incidents and his latest remarks, Boosie has claimed not to be homophobic. Appearing on My Expert Opinion, back in June, he argued that much of the drama has been taken out of context. “People have to understand that it’s not the same stroke for the same folk,” he said. “My fuckin’ assistant manager is gay as fuck. Like, bruh. I don’t know where people get that from. He understands me, he know I don’t have any ill will towards those people. He deals with money, he deals with business. It ain’t never looked at like that. I trust gay people more than I trust regular people.”

Eminem’s Daughter, Hailie, On Seeing Him & 50 Cent Perform: “I Was So Freaking Happy”

September 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Eminem’s daughter, Hailie Jade Scott, says that she was in attendance at 50 Cent’s Final Lap Tour performance in Detroit when her father made a surprise appearance on stage. During the latest episode of her Just a Little Shady podcast, Hailie discussed how she felt during the show.

“We went to the 50 Cent concert, and I was so freaking happy,” Hailie said on the podcast. “I have not seen him perform since, like, I seriously think it was like the sixth grade. It’s been so long.” She added: “First of all, I was just happy because there’s so many bangers that I feel that everybody just forgets about. There’s like the club songs but then there’s so many that you’re like ‘Holy shit.’ Bop after bop after bop.”

From there, she praised the show’s “level of production” before adding, “And also dad came out and I don’t know why… that’s just how I have to say it, ‘dad came out.’” When Eminem arrived on stage, he joined 50 in performing their Get Rich or Die Tryin’ collaboration, “Patiently Waiting,” as well as their Relapse hit, “Crack a Bottle.” “Detroit, make some noise for one of the best friends that I’ve ever known, 50 Cent!” Eminem told the crowd. “And also, make some noise for Hip Hop’s 50th birthday, y’all … Detroit, I love y’all, man.”

After the show, 50 Cent returned the praise to Eminem. “That’s my guy he put me on!” 50 wrote on Instagram while sharing Eminem’s comments. “You know the vibes we don’t switch up over here.” Be on the lookout for further updates from the Final Lap Tour on HotNewHipHop.

Usher Knows Better Than To Sing To Dwyane Wade’s Wife At Concert

September 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Usher is having a bit of a renaissance in 2023. The R&B legend has proven that there’s still a lot of love for him and his music around this year. His collaboration with Summer Walker and 21 Savage “Good Good” has been rising up the Hot 100 for weeks. It’s a single that’s expected to appear on his upcoming new album which is dropping in early 2024. The album’s release date is in line with another major piece of recent news for the singer.

Over the weekend it was announced that he would be following up Rihanna last year by taking the stage at this year’s upcoming Superbowl. Usher described the opportunity to play the Halftime Show as the “honor of a lifetime” in a statement released alongside the announcement. Fans have been showing up to the rapper’s Las Vegas residency all year and occasionally it’s caused a bit of controversy. Most notably when Keke Palmer turned up to a show in a revealing fit that her boyfriend wasn’t a fan of. She doubled down by appearing in one of the singer’s music videos just a few months later, which had some noticeable parallels.

Now in a new video, Usher seems to have learned his lesson. A hilarious clip is making the rounds of the singer refusing to perform directly to Dwyane Wade’s wife for a pretty good reason. He doesn’t want the smoke because he’s pretty well aware that he couldn’t take Wade in a fight. He hilarious explains his decision into a nearby camera.

Fans in the comments agreed with his assessment. “He know who to play with and who not to play with,” one comment reads. “Marry the woman. And then BOOM usher won’t snatch them up,” another agrees. What do you think of Usher’s interaction with Dwyane Wade during one of his concerts? Let us know in the comment section below.

Quando Rondo Gives Impromptu Concert At Restaurant: Watch

September 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Quando Rondo appeared to post up and perform at a restaurant this week. The video, reshared by DJ Akademiks, shows Rondo standing on a table and performing for a crowd who seems pretty into the impromptu show. However, it’s unclear when or where this pop-up show took place. Regardless, the venue appears to be pretty full and there is a small group of people actively dancing and vibing directly in front of Rondo. It appears, despite his recent legal troubles, there are still plenty of people are down with Rondo’s music.

Rondo has remained fairly out of the spotlight after receiving a $100K bond back in June. While prosecutors attempted to have his bond revoked in July, Rondo remains a free man. However, he must submit to regular drug testing and must refrain from driving. Rondo faces a litany of charges, from RICO to driving under the influence. His trial date is still pending and remains a developing story.

As of Saturday, it appears that Moneybagg Yo’s show is the only canceled event. AEW Wrestling, Kirk Franklin, and Stevie Nicks, are all still set to perform at the venue. It’s unclear what led to the cancelation of Moneybagg Yo’s concert; however, Lil Baby recently stopped a performance at FedEx Forum short due to gunfire breaking out. “A person was shot last night at FedEx Forum during the Lil Baby concert. The incident is under investigation and we are fully cooperating with the Memphis Police Department,” a spokesperson for the venue said afterward, according to Fox 13. Lil Baby added on Twitter: “Unfortunately I Couldn’t Perform Last Night In Memphis, Ima Make Sure Everybody Gets A Refund Tho (heart hands emoji).”

Kendrick Lamar’s “HUMBLE.” Covered By Maneskin At Madison Square Garden

September 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kendrick Lamar’s “HUMBLE.” is one of the biggest rap hits of the past few years, especially coming from one of the most respected and acclaimed artists today. Its appeal is quite universal, with engaging and catchy refrains and melodies, plus some sharp bars. In fact, it’s stretching beyond genre and national boundaries, as Italian rock superstars Måneskin covered the track at their Madison Square Garden show in New York on Friday (September 22). “We cannot be the last rock band,” lead singer Damiano David remarked to the crowd before they went into their homage. “But maybe we can be the first rap band,” he added, albeit incorrectly.

Jokes aside, the cover is about as energetic and electrifying as you’d expect from a rock-centered rendition of “HUMBLE.” Driving guitars, hard-hitting drums, and anthemic vocals made Kendrick Lamar’s track translate quite well. At the very least, this is a much more respectful and appropriate nod to the rapper than another European incident involving a blackface-laden Polish karaoke competition. Hopefully more bands of various genres keep seeing the magic in the Compton MC’s music, and how it connects to any crowd.

Maneskin’s Kendrick Lamar Cover Has Them Feeling “HUMBLE.”

Of course, this shouldn’t come as much surprise to Måneskin fans, who know the group to be quite versatile. While speaking to Esquire for an interview, David explained how each member’s wide influences contribute to their aesthetics and songwriting. “Not to brag, but for us, it comes easy,” he stated. “We have four different and very strong backgrounds. Ethan and Thomas are very into rock and roll, punk, more classical, so they bring that energy. I’m very, very into mainstream music, mainstream hooks, mainstream melodies. So I bring that kind of idea, and they put steroids in what I do.”

Meanwhile, the Pulitzer Prize-winning lyricist impacts his peers in much more meaningful ways than just artistic inspiration. His Black Hippy and former TDE partner ScHoolboy Q recently gave K.Dot credit for “saving his life.” Surely, this will be far from the last cover of his music for generations to come. On that note, stay posted on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Kendrick Lamar.

Like many do at shows she was absolutely singing her heart out and many were quick to point out they weren’t the most poised vocals ever. “sound like a cat being skinned..,” the top comment on the post reads. “All I hear is:,” and “I know somebody in the crowd turned around like ‘shutup!’” others agree.
