Bhad Bhabie & LeVaughn Shock Fans With Her Latest Confusing Instagram Post

August 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bhad Bhabie and her allegedly abusive boyfriend, LeVaughn, have sent fans on a frenzy while trying to figure out exactly what’s going on in their relationship. For those unaware, this began when security footage emerged of LeVaughn physically assaulting the rapper, as well as more close-up details about these scars. However, fans have reason to believe that the two moved on from this and will continue to be a couple, as she posted a picture on her Instagram Story of him nibbling her ear. This comes soon after another Bhabie post that claims that her boo (or ex-boo?) is looking for a “BBL Latina.”

Furthermore, there are a lot of mixed signals and examples of proof that have many fans feeling concerned for Bhad Bhabie. It’s important to note that LeVaughn denied any and all claims of abuse despite the seemingly damning security footage. “She did that for a reason, I ain’t do that. If I did that she wouldn’t be with me,” he claimed on social media. This prompted a lot of outrage from fans, who now have even more questions about what prompted this apparent reunion.

“I love that man more than I love myself and its honestly really sad,” Bhad Bhabie had said of LeVaughn’s alleged abuse. “…I know the easy way out is to leave and that’s better said than done. This doesn’t happen this extreme often, but LV definitely has a problem. He’s going to get the help he needs… Right now there’s no room for mistakes.

“And he knows that,” Bhad Bhabie continued. “Who ever says they are there for me will b supportive of me no matter what I choose to do. Y’all know I give a mf hell but there’s no excuse for that at all what so ever. My point in sharing this wasn’t to attack him, it was for him to see what he does is wrong and to take accountability and make a REAL CHANGE.” This isn’t the first time that the two have confused fans with their post-accusations PDA. We’ll see in due time whether either of them provide an explanation.

Elliott Wilson Cosigns DJ Akademiks’ Theory As To Why Nicki Minaj And Others Are Hating On Him

August 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Elliott Wilson is one of hip-hop’s most celebrated media voices, but thanks to recent situations with Charlamagne Tha God and Drake, it’s clear that he’s also among the most hated-on. Nicki Minaj recently seemed to fuel this fire by insinuating that he’s too old to chase Internet headlines, and DJ Akademiks questioned why some people are so quick to dismiss him. “Why everybody hate Elliott Wilson, man?” Ak began his remarks, a clip of which Wilson posted on Twitter while saluting the streamer for his breakdown. “This has to be studied. So, this [Nicki Minaj rant] was about Elliott Wilson. Elliott Wilson, ironically, is 53. Recently we’ve seen Charlamagne get at him, Drake got at him, and now Nicki Minaj basically, in a roundabout way, is getting at him. I’m wondering why everybody hates Elliott Wilson so bad. I’m wondering if it’s a few things.

“Is it because of his age or is it because of his actions?” DJ Akademiks continued. “You know, again, I think Elliott’s kind of doing what a lot of other people are doing in media. Yeah, I really don’t know why people hate Elliott Wilson. I think he’s doing what the majority of media personalities are doing. One thing I’ll say is that it’s clearly working. Artists hope to control the media or control the thoughts of the media. And when you get artists upset at you, as long as you’re not operating in bad faith, you’re probably doing something right or you’re operating and giving your thoughts against the grain. Now, I think Elliott’s a little bit different, and I think this is why he’s been getting dragged by a lot of people. Yeah, he did an interview with these people.

DJ Akademiks Wonders Why Some Artists Hate Elliott Wilson

“Maybe that makes sense,” DJ Akademiks added. “Didn’t they [Elliott and Nicki] do a CRWN together? Oh, they did. Now it’s making a little bit more sense. Like, Elliott’s got those [Nicki Minaj and Drake] interviews, and I think people feel like he’s regressed. I had to come up talking about the artists ’cause them n***as ain’t want to talk to me. However, I think with Elliott, they looked at him like someone they respected. Someone who was a great journalist that would talk to them, and they feel like he’s now… I hate to use the word ‘regressed,’ but they feel like now he’s in the lane of, like, gossiping. That’s the only way I could size it up. Because I can’t tell why they all mad at him, you get what I mean?

“But I think these people look at him like, ‘Yo, I gave you an interview. I did an interview with you back in the day, like, yo, what’s going on?’” DJ Akademiks concluded. “Now, I don’t know what Elliott Wilson necessarily has said about Nicki Minaj recently or what he’s posted about her. However, it’s interesting to see how he’ll kind of take this and run with it. S**t, I think he’s in his villain arc. I think Drake said something about him, he went crazy on Drake. And listen, yo, Elliott reminds me of me when Big Ak had to come out, you feel what I’m saying? When everybody was playing with me. I think that’s the mode that Elliott Wilson is actually on. I’m wondering if he’s gonna address it.”

Lauryn Hill Thinks The Media Is To Blame For Tour Cancelation Drama

August 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lauryn Hill’s announcement that she and the Fugees canceled the North American leg of their 2024 Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill anniversary tour days before it was set to begin was not that surprising, to say the least. After all, this is one of many controversies and pulled shows that the legendary rap group has caused, faced, or at least dealt with over their historic career. While many fans expressed disappointment and outrage at this, there were also plenty of them who saw this coming from a mile away. The iconic femcee herself took to Instagram on Wednesday (August 7) to explain this cancelation and blame the media.

“With difficulty [we made] the decision to pull down our upcoming North American tour dates,” Lauryn Hill shared. “The shows in the UK and Europe ARE MOVING FORWARD as planned. Last year, I faced an injury that necessitated the rescheduling of some of my shows. Regrettably, some media outlet’s penchant for sensationalism and clickbait headlines have seemingly created a narrative that has affected ticket sales for the North American portion of the tour.

Lauryn Hill Explains Fugees Tour’s Cancelation In North America

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Ms. Lauryn Hill (@mslaurynhill)

“The trust and faith I have in my intentions and my commitment to my art seem to have been overshadowed by this unfortunate portrayal,” Lauryn Hill continued. “The audiences in the UK and Europe not only haven’t seen the Miseducation Anniversary performances yet, they also haven’t seen the Fugees perform together in over 25 years! Performing for my fans is a profound exchange of energy and emotion that excites me every time. Every show is a piece of my expression and testament to our connection and shared love for music. I can assure you that no one is more disappointed about not being able to perform than I am.

“Know that I am not only grateful for those who appreciate and support my art, but that I FIGHT and push through all kinds of resistance to put together experiences that mean something for all of us. I love being able to bring these performances to you! I appreciate your understanding. We look forward to the shows in the UK and Europe in October—and for our fans in North America, when these unforeseen circumstances resolve, we’ll be back in full force. With Love, Respect, and Honesty, MLH.”

Kehlani’s Friend Defends Them Following Baby Daddy’s Sex Cult Accusations

August 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kehlani is the subject of much controversy right now. Their baby daddy Javaughn Young-White accused them of being in a sex cult. Reportedly, he seeks full custody of their daughter according to court documents obtained by TMZ. Young-White thinks she’s at risk of abuse due to the supposed cult’s alleged leader facing various claims of sexual assault. While the origin of these accusations is unclear, fans and friends alike are defending the singer, including one Destin Conrad. The artist took to Twitter to support the Oakland native and theorize as to why people are dragging their name.

“i seen n***as really pull s**t out they a** when they cornered,” Destin Conrad wrote of the Kehlani accusations. “n that’s what scare me about yall. instead of working on yourself u jus desperately fishin for something or someone to make a villain. it’s tired, get help. yall get on here n make think pieces about my friend all day but please don’t ever come for the parenting. n don’t believe S**T you read on the internet. let’s [be] very f***ing real for a second. n***as love to villainize someone when s**t don’t go they way i see.”

Elsewhere, Kehlani’s baby daddy claimed that they lied about their sexuality and their fling. “I understand why she had to gas it up and act like I was a gay sperm donor. to protect herself from the fake lesbian allegations. but ima need yall to stop calling me gay 6 years later again,” he wrote on Twitter. “People implying I’m a gay sperm donor when I’m a whole father is lame as hell. and I’m not gonna sit here and go along with it lol.

“Also being outed as a ‘gay/queer man’ against my consent and getting homophobia thrown at me for years gets me tight. Bro don’t push that on me,” Kehlani’s baby daddy continued. “Mfs sat there and lied on my sexuality to protect whatever lesbian identity was working for them at the time. And I caught all the flack fr it and constantly got told to stfu before I ruin mfs career.”

YSL Woody Hilariously Smells All The Women Before 20 V 1 Appearance

August 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

YSL Woody is living quite the hectic and public life following his release in the YSL RICO trial, appearing on the popular YouTube series known as “20 V 1.” For those unaware, it’s a somewhat controversial speed dating concept in which one person (usually a man) meets 20 others (usually women) and undergoes a process of elimination and questions to field out potential partners. He appeared as a special guest and, in a viral clip spreading around social media right now, had the ladies go through a bizarre “tryout” process. Moreover, Woody walked up to each of the girls and smelled them to see if they were worth his time, with him immediately dismissing the first girl that he sniffed.

Of course, this is a pretty funny and absurd antic on impact, but some folks found it particularly strange and boundary-violating. “They letting this gremlin disrespect them for clout and money smh,” one concerned user expressed on Twitter. It’s not the only wild online antic that YSL Woody got into as of late, though, even if this recent example isn’t his fault. A fan who stalked his IG Stories recently confronted him in person, and it’s clear that he’s dealing with a lot of celebrity right now that is as volatile as it is prolific.

YSL Woody Smells His 20 V 1 Colleagues

But YSL Woody’s also been able to speak earnestly and compellingly on other topics through his various media appearances, such as his heartfelt reflections on why artists like NBA YoungBoy particularly resonate with him. “Trauma, man,” he told The Danza Project. “We have been through so much. That’s why I listen to YoungBoy. When I listen to him, I hear the words, but I feel it. I be like, man, he younger than me. That boy needs help, they keep locking him up. That’s the same thing that they were doing to me. So they feel like we’re a threat, so they gon’ lock us up. But when they lockin’ us up, they’re destroying us, they’re making us worser.

“Get him some help!” YSL Woody went on. “If y’all got him for some drugs, put him in a drug treatment program. Didn’t he just tell his probation officer he wasn’t going to stop smoking and drinking or whatever they told him? Why y’all gon’ put him in jail? Y’all hear him in his songs. So now, when we got these traumas and we’re dealing with it, and y’all releasing us back up out of here to the public, what y’all expect from us?

French Montana Brings Out Andrew Tate At Romanian Festival & Gets Obliterated For It

July 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A lot of hip-hop fans aren’t big fans of Andrew Tate for various reasons: take your pick from a beef with the Juice WRLD fanbase, his constant misogyny, his human trafficking allegations, and much more. But French Montana proudly invited him onstage at the Beach, Please! music festival in Romania, Tate’s home country where he awaits his trial for his criminal accusations. Apparently, the two have a podcast episode together coming out soon, and French shared this moment on social media. “First rapper to do a stream with top G and the first to bring Top G out on stage!” he captioned. “ROMANIA WE LOVE YOU. S/O Andrew Tate + Tristan Tate.”

“The artistic program does not include the name Andrew Tate, no time slot is dedicated to him,” the festival stated about the incident. “Beach, Please! scene, like all scenes in the world, is a platform for free artistic expression. The artistic moment in which Andrew Tate appeared was both a spontaneous one on the part of French Montana and a surprise for the festival. This aspect can also be seen from the fact that it was not properly equipped to perform in this sense.”

Of course, the comments section of the Instagram post above, amid Andrew Tate and French Montana’s fans’ fire emojis, have a lot of criticism against the Tate brothers. “That’s so embarrassing lol,” one fan posited, with another adding: “NOT WAVY FRENCH” and a thumbs-down emoji. “DISGUSTING SUCH A LOW MOVE bringing him on stage,” another concerned user relayed, while other fans expressed more disappointment than anger. “French, why would you bring the Tate brothers on stage? Why would you affiliate? They are seriously shady guys,” one fan shared.

Meanwhile, French Montana at least has some more performance opportunities to repent for this -– if he thinks it needs repentance. He, Fabolous, and Fivio Foreign will go on tour soon in August, and released the single “To The Moon” to hype fans up before they kick it off. We wonder whether other special guests will attend. At least this Beach, Please! festival moment might turn French away from rocking the boat too hard… or spur him to keep going to his and his fans’ detriment.

Drake Seemingly Harassed By Man Reciting Kendrick Lamar’s Lyrics, But Fans Don’t Buy It

July 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

While Drake hasn’t made many public appearances amid his Kendrick Lamar battle, we can only imagine the attacks that many people would throw his way if he faced a crowd. But a recent clip going viral online indicates that this may have already started. Moreover, in the video below, you can seemingly hear someone say that Drizzy “likes them young” and is probably talking to “a minor” in reference to those “Not Like Us” lyrics. However, according to various commenters, this is an old clip that someone has simply voiced over, so this didn’t actually happen to The Boy in this particular instance. It’s the sort of thing that probably convinces his defeatist argument that rap is a joke.

Furthermore, even Sexyy Red chimed into the comments section of the post below to call out how corny this harassment was, whether the clip is actually true or if the harassment is instead in the form of spreading a doctored video around to make the 6ix God look bad or like a victim. Still, it speaks to the idea that people want to see Drake confront these accusations more directly. Even Charlamagne Tha God thinks that rappers are still baiting him out for more bars and more disses. While that theory is pretty unsubstantiated and seems to misinterpret regular old discourse, it’s clear that “The Heart Part 6” wasn’t enough for some fans while that others think it should remain the last musical move in this saga.

As for the people who would say something like this to Drake in person and want to play games… They’ve got bigger issues within themselves to handle, if an OVO security guard doesn’t get to them first. Sadly, we’re sure that both him and Kendrick Lamar will face this sort of thing in the future from their rivals’ supporters. Maybe the superstars should take LL Cool J’s advice, which was specifically for the Toronto MC. “You’ll be fine, bro,” he told Aubrey via a recent interview with Charlamagne Tha God. “You just don’t take it personal… You can’t be overly sensitive. I get it. I been there, I know it. It can be upsetting… But you gotta control that.”

Meanwhile, at least there are more Drake stories popping up these days that don’t have anything to do with this beef or its accusations against both artists. For example, Toccara Jones recently reflected on how she and Melyssa Ford found out that they were both dating him at the same time. It’s certainly just gossip that is as relevant as the other salacious asides during the battle. But at least we don’t have to open up the entire can of worms this time around.

“Foolio” Continues To Scare Fans Beyond The Grave Through His Instagram Page’s Posts

July 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The tale of Foolio’s tragic death becomes a more bizarre one every day, especially thanks to the rapper’s still-active Instagram account. Over the past month or so, the page has sent out a lot of disturbing messages for fans alleging that the Florida native is still alive, and that there’s voodoo and dark magic at play with a “Demi God.” “Just know I’m still here,” the account posted to its Instagram Story on Friday (July 12). “Once the time is allowed I’ll shock the world. U can’t kill a Demi God. I’m still here [purple devil emoji]. Guess I might have to go IG LIVE SOON. STILL HERE STILL STANDING NEW MUSIC ON THE WAY. Whoever said I’m not here stop believing them. Will shock the world soon once I’m allowed too. It will all make sense.”

“RIP Son … Charles Jones II ‘Foolio’ The ‘Real’ Life Story Documentary Coming Soon,” the late MC’s mother wrote via Instagram. “The story that only I can tell because I know the Truths from the Fakes, I think Im the ‘ONLY’ mother that keep it Real while MOST others know dam well what was going on with their OWN sons , this been going on since 2014-2015.

Ryan Garcia Calls Eminem An “Overrated Gay Satanist” In Latest Twitter Rant

July 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It seems like Ryan Garcia wasn’t a big fan of The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce), because he just went on a wild Twitter rant against Eminem on Sunday (July 14). “Eminem is a satanist,” he posted on his account after cosigning Candace Owens’ takedown of the Detroit rapper for dissing her. “It’s not even debatable. I always thought he was overrated but hey that’s just my opinion. Wait Eminem is a homo? Eminem=Gay. For the record I don’t care if Eminem is Gay. Nor do I care if he was straight. Just keep that devil shit he’s doing in his music videos away from kids.”

Then, Ryan Garcia posted a picture of Eminem dressed as Britney Spears for the “Real Slim Shady” music video with the caption “Feminem.” “You can’t pay enough me to wear a dress and heels,” he added afterwards. “If I ever do, just remember I didn’t want to do it. I’d go down fighting before I start doing all that.” The boxer reacted to some outlandish Slim Shady lyrics and complained about his belief that people let Em slide for his stuff, but that they then trash Garcia whenever he has a controversial take.

But this is Ryan Garcia’s smallest fish to fry these days, as he’s recently issued multiple apologies for his concerning behavior. His most recent one was to his ex-wife Andrea Celina for allegedly trashing her home and verbally abusing her. “I came on here just to say I’m sorry,” Garcia remarked. “Andrea, you’re the mother of my children and somebody I’ll always have love and respect for. I retract all my statements about her. She never stole money from me, she never did wrong by me, she never cheated on me. We weren’t together, so right there, she’s not a cheater. She’s a great woman. In the next couple of months, you’re gonna see a change.”

Furthermore, Ryan Garcia’s previous Twitter rant included the n-word, mockery of George Floyd, and disparaging remarks against many other groups, on top of resulting in his expulsion from the World Boxing Council amid his current PED suspension. “Exercising my authority as president of the WBC, I am hereby expelling Ryan Garcia from any activity with our organization,” Mauricio Sulaiman stated. “We reject any form of discrimination. I fear for Ryan well being [sic]. He has declined multiple attempts for our help with mental health and substance abuse.”

The Hip-Hop World Reacts Divisively To Donald Trump Assassination Attempt

July 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The assassination attempt on former U.S. President Donald Trump’s life yesterday (Saturday, July 13) in Butler, Pennsylvania shocked the world. Many folks reacted wildly to it online, whether with their funniest memes or with their most sobering statements on the matter, including the world of hip-hop. There were a lot of rappers who commented on the Trump shooting via their social media accounts, and the reactions were just as varied as the level of support that rap has voiced for the convicted politician. Some of them issued more comical takes, whereas others expressed how disturbed they are by this incident, which left at least one other person dead in addition to the suspected shooter and two more injured.

Some of the numerous MCs that came out in support of Donald Trump recently (or, to be fair, a while ago) wished the former president well, such as Lil Pump and Sleepy Hallow. Others have yet to post about it publicly online, although we’re sure that they have their thoughts on the subject as well, as it was another “shot heard around the world” moment. Either way, they feel glad that the New York business tycoon made it out of this attempt alive. It was a close and terrifying situation.

Of course, there were other figures in the hip-hop community whose jokes were less sympathetic, but not every Trump critic is like that. Some folks like Kid Cudi made it clear that they don’t support him at all, but still expressed their best wishes that everything turn out okay for him. It’s important to recognize that just because this attempt might’ve been birthed by extremism, it doesn’t mean that future attempts will be prevented by extremism. As such, President Joe Biden and many others condemned this violence and wished Trump well despite their disagreements with him.

Meanwhile, we’re sure this will further spur the MAGA fervor and elicit a whole lot of chaotic discourse between supporters and detractors. Trump fortunately survived, and we’ll see how this impacts the path of the election and its discourse. Maybe this will be a contentious debate between both sides… maybe it’s a point of unity. But either way, we know to expect plenty of bars about the subject in the near future.
