Kesha Promises To Diss Diddy On Re-Recorded Version Of “TiK ToK”

August 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kesha has made her distaste of Diddy’s allegations and actions very clear over the past few months, especially since her biggest song shouts him out uncritically. But that was before Sean Combs’ supposed (and his confirmed) crimes fully came into light, and while celebrating the song in question’s anniversary (“TiK ToK” came out 15 years ago in 2009) on Wednesday (August 7), she revealed that she would make sure this scandal wouldn’t taint the legacy of her track any further. Moreover, the Los Angeles native had previously changed the lyrics to the record to “f**k P. Diddy” instead of “feeling like P. Diddy” alongside Reneé Rapp during their Coachella performance (as well as other events), and it’s a change that she will make official on a re-recorded “TiK ToK” version.

“TiK ToK was the first single that I put into this world that had my voice AND my name credited!!!!” Kesha’s message about her now-Diddy-dissing cut began. “I remember making it fun and happy because that’s how I felt and wanted others to feel. What I’m so proud of is that’s how this song STILL makes me feel, through it all, and those are emotions I want all of us to connect to. 15 (!!!!!!) years later, I see this song as a snapshot into the way I saw the world at the time.

“That girl was naive and wild and playful,” Kesha continued. “This song eternalizes a side of myself that I love very much, and now see I have to protect fiercely. The world has changed so much and so have I.⁣ I absolutely love the new lyric change. (Shout out to @reneerapp) Yes it is permanent. ⁣I will re-record it when I have legal rights to!

“Now, my first baby stands for so much,” Kesha concluded. “It stands for fiercely protecting fun and unadulterated joy, in myself and in others. The whole ride has been absolute insanity, but the JOY is still riding. ⁣I hope you all can find 3 1/2 minutes of play in this song and connect with your wild child-like joy [red heart emoji]. Thank you for making my life so magical animals, it’s one for the books! ⁣x.”

Chrisean Rock’s Mugshot Has Soulja Boy In Tears

August 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Chrisean Rock’s difficult legal situation these days is causing a whole lot of social media debating and discussing, which can range from seriously critical to mockingly comical. Moreover, Soulja Boy definitely seems to relate more to the latter of these options, as he reacted to her new mugshot with a series of crying-laughing emojis on Twitter. While it’s a very simple response and one that doesn’t really add anything relevant to the conversation, it is sadly emblematic of how some people are looking at this whole thing. They just chuckle, think about all of the Baltimore native’s past antics, and move on without missing a beat.

For those unaware, Chrisean Rock is reportedly facing up to eight years in prison on drug charges, but there are little details as to whether the court already convicted her. Also, there are other alleged assault incidents to take into account which some reports indicate could connect to her arrest in a courtroom. Chrisean was there to support her volatile boo Blueface’s own complicated prison stint, and she found herself in a legal pickle herself. Hopefully the near future holds some more clarifications as to what will happen with them and their family, as many are concerned for their child.

As for Chrisean Rock’s on-and-off again boo, Blueface received a four-year prison sentence for probation violations. “I want to get on here and thank everybody for all the love and all the support today,” his mother Karlissa Saffold shared on Instagram after the verdict. “All the prayers, I’ve seen all the prayers and I thank y’all so much. I don’t want y’all to think that god didn’t show up today because he did, and if you was in the courtroom, you heard Johnathan take accountability, you heard Johnathan sound like Johnathan.

“He’s in his right frame of mind,” Saffold went on. “We didn’t get the verdict we wanted today. But we got some closure. We got new beginnings, and we’re all hopeful for this to go by smooth and quickly.” With all these situations in mind, and considering Soulja Boy’s previous beef with Blueface and Chrisean Rock, this type of reaction to their arrests is unfortunately common.

Joe Budden Criticizes How Yung Miami Spoke On JT, The City Girls & Diddy On “Caresha Please”

August 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yung Miami’s new Caresha Please episode kicked off the podcast’s second season with a bang as Saucy Santana asked her about the Diddy controversy, the City Girls breakup, and why she stayed relatively silent on those issues. This is especially the case as it relates to Sean Combs, as the Florida rapper previously spoke briefly on her relationship with JT and the status of their duo. But on The Joe Budden Podcast, its titular host questioned the difference in how Miami speaks about her former rap partner versus how she speaks on her former romantic and business partner. Specifically, he seems to think that she threw her fellow lyricist under the bus with previous statements, and was not as quick to point out issues that she had with the Bad Boy mogul both in business and in their personal lives.

Check out the clip below, which sees Joe Budden mostly talk about the bizarre dynamic that the City Girls displayed before their split, Yung Miami’s comments on JT, and some brief words about how Miami boasted about increasing Diddy’s motion. While this might be an overly critical stance for some, it’s not an uncommon one online. For example, DJ Akademiks chose a different critical angle about this new Caresha Please episode that has more to do with his perception of her relationship with Puff Daddy. That take deals more with issues of image, self-respect, beauty, and toxic interpersonal dynamics, but just like Budden’s, people will have understandable reasons to push back on it.

“If she was trying to save face she could have did it a long time ago,” Saucy Santana shared online to defend Yung Miami amid this and other criticisms. “You can’t get mad at someone about their truth. Whatever happened to [someone else in the] past, we don’t neglect that, we don’t say that it didn’t happen, and we don’t condone it.”

Meanwhile, this is what Yung Miami herself had to say about backlash to this Caresha Please episode. “I knew the interview would be 50/50 but I feel good telling my truth!” she expressed on Twitter. “I’m about to go outside and have a ball I deserve it see yall later :).” “I can’t hear you b***hes!” Miami captioned a picture of her holding up two stacks of cash to her ears.

DJ Akademiks Downplays Yung Miami’s Diddy Comments On “Caresha Please”

August 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Season 2 premiere of Caresha Please, Yung Miami’s podcast with interviewing duties courtesy of Saucy Santana for this first episode, held some long-awaited and divisive comments on her relationship with Diddy. In case you somehow don’t know, the Bad Boy mogul faced various accusations and lawsuits alleging sexual assault, abuse, harassment, sex trafficking, and other crimes over the past few months. The Florida rapper spoke on why she was silent during this influx and on her experiences and eventual break-up concerning Sean Combs. But sadly, not everyone is sympathetic to her story. DJ Akademiks, for example, insinuated during his latest livestream that Miami let herself go too far in this situation and did not respect herself enough, suggesting that she was only interested in superficial optics and relationship fare and eventually faced the consequences for it.

“With all due respect, you are a pretty girl,” DJ Akademiks’ comments on the former City Girl began. “But there’s a lot of pretty girls. Beauty, especially seeing all these girls get lip fillers, they’re wearing fake hair. That ain’t their hair, right? They get some implants, they put their t***ies up to their neck.

“Like, it’s easy to create the idea of beauty that a man would be appealed by,” DJ Akademiks continued concerning Yung Miami. “So what makes you special? Is it because you have some fame? No, Diddy’s messed with way more famous women than you. He had J. Lo, for God’s sakes. What makes you special? I’m going to tell you. If you disagree with me, it’s because you don’t know no n***as in the industry. Because I talk to these n***as. Like, what is it about this girl?

“You know what they say?” DJ Akademiks concluded. “A chick like Yung Miami… She do everything. Put it like this: self-respect is the kryptonite of rich n***as. Women: self-respect is the kryptonite of rich n***as. They don’t want to be around you when you’re saying, ‘Ah, I’m not doing that.’ The women who are in the game, they know this, too. If you want to get in the game, first, you got to hit that plateau of how good you look. Once you’re above the bar on how good you look, how far you go with these men in the industry will revolve around how little you say ‘No.’”

YesJulz Accuses Milo Yiannopoulos Of Reaching Out To Kanye West’s Dentist Himself

August 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West’s alleged nitrous oxide addiction, as claimed by his former Yeezy chief of staff, Milo Yiannopoulos, shocked his fanbase this week. Moreover, Yiannopoulos filed an affidavit and complaint against celebrity dentist Thomas P. Connelly, accusing him of engaging in “the unlawful supply of enormous quantities of nitrous gas to a wealthy, famous patient for explicitly recreational use” after installing Ye’s titanium grill. In addition, the former chief of staff claimed that Connelly hired someone to physically attack him. But another affiliate of the Chicago artist’s, YesJulz, fired back against Yiannopoulos’ claims on Twitter after the legal paperwork mentioned her, accusing him of connecting Kanye to Connelly in the first place.

“Riddle me this hero,” YesJulz’s seemingly since-deleted accusation against Milo Yiannopoulos began concerning Kanye West’s alleged nitrous gas addiction. “Who suggested for him to get the grill in the first place? When [they told me] to book the appointment I expressed my concerns & pushed back twice asking if he [for] sure wanted to do it. I was told that the decision was made. He was sure it was what he wanted and to do not question it again.

YesJulz Claims Milo Yiannopoulos Shares Partial Blame For Kanye West’s Alleged Nitrous Addiction

“As your b***h a** & the rest of the world knows, I was let go shortly after bc you couldn’t stand to see genuine people with innovative ideas & real work ethic around,” YesJulz continued concerning Kanye West and Milo Yiannopoulos. “Firing staff isn’t as hard of a job as you make it out to be babes. It also doesn’t really help the company much if you are simultaneously overpaying yourself and, according to Ye & other team members, allegedly stealing while doing so. I wasn’t around to even know whether or not your claims about addiction were real – let alone be in a position where I could actually help IF that were the case.

“YOU made sure of that bc you knew the last time a plot like this was unfolding, I was there and actually did something about it,” she concluded about this Kanye West situation. “But YOU were there. & so was your partner in crime. I am going to say this for the last time, keep my name out of your disgusting, trifling, lying, theiving a** mouth & move on… Are you even a US resident? How are u still here without a job or an American spouse? So many questions. I know the answers. Your clock is ticking b***h.” YesJulz also demanded that Yiannopoulos remove her name from future legal moves, shared alleged messages of him using racial slurs, and accused him of harassment and trying to have her children seized from her.

Boosie Badazz Has Questions About Dwyane Wade’s Sexuality

August 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Boosie Badazz and DJ Vlad’s VladTV platform are pretty much one and the same these days thanks to their many conversations together. Moreover, their most recent sit-down contained some interesting thoughts on Dwyane Wade’s controversial decision to start a nail care line. While this would just be any old business venture under normal circumstances, conventional machismo and the basketball star’s transgender daughter made people jump to conclusions and lash out in outright bigoted ways. That’s what Vlad pushed with this latest discussion, and what the Baton Rouge native had some curious thoughts on.

“I don’t even got to say nothing,” Boosie’s remarks on Dwyane Wade’s nail care line began. “The world is going to say it.” “I mean, look,” DJ Vlad posited. “You have a gay daughter. You can support your kids without having to go through all these extra steps, you know what I’m saying? Like, you can still love your kids and be supportive, you know what I mean? Without having to start a nail polish line and start wearing dresses along with them and wearing lipstick and… You know? Wear wigs and whatever else. Listen, your [daughter] is trans, let [her] be trans. That’s cool. But to have to start a nail polish line… Why? When you’re a superstar athlete in your day, you got all the money you need, still making money, I’m sure. Your wife is making money, like… What’s the point?”

Boosie & Vlad Discuss Dwyane Wade’s Nail Care Brand

“I think you know the answer,” Boosie responded. “I don’t know the answer!” Vlad replied. “Oh, you think that Dwyane is actually…?” “I don’t know,” the rapper expressed. “I mean… He part of the movement. I mean, I don’t like to say too much about those people because I don’t want that to be in my motherf***ing… When people think of me, they think of that.

“A lot of people do, but… I just, you know, he do what he do,” Boosie concluded. “He feel like that’s how he support his… It make me shake my head. Because, you know, I don’t like that, bro. When… I don’t know. He might be living through… I don’t know, I don’t know.”

Kid Capri Calls Out Travis Scott Over This Odd Fan Interaction

August 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Travis Scott has one of the most die-hard fanbases in all of hip-hop, and if we’re being honest, across the entire music industry right now. Not only has he cemented this legacy through his music, but also through the cult of personality generated by his fashion forays, brand partnerships, and celebrity lifestyle. But this bubble can shield superstars from their strongest supporters, resulting in often contentious and dismissive fan interactions. For example, the iconic DJ Kid Capri recently called the “Active” MC for pushing a fan away who wanted an autograph. In a Wednesday (August 7) video, a young fan in France asked him for a picture and he pushed the boy’s arm away from him and said, “Don’t touch me.”

“Ayo, Travis Scott, when did we start being disrespectful to kids, bruh?” Kid Capri relayed online. “Little kid asked you for an autograph, [you] pushed his hand away, looked at him like he was the devil and just walked away from him. At one time, you would’ve wanted somebody to ask you for an autograph or ask you for a picture or whatever it is he asked you for.

“Celebs get where they get and then they forget,” Kid Capri continued concerning Travis Scott. “Dawg, like, ten people died at one of your concerts. I would try to be as humble as possible. I’m not saying it’s your fault, but I would try to be as humble as possible when it comes to the fans, bruh. They lift you up. This ain’t the first time I seen you do some s**t that was funny style. It’s a little kid, bruh, and it pisses me off to see that ’cause I come from signing every autograph, taking every picture, doing video drops for people. We would’ve wished people asked us for that when we wasn’t on.

“I’m not at your level, but I’m at Kid Capri level and I respect the fans,” he concluded his message for Travis Scott. “That right there was crazy. I’m not saying you got to sign everybody’s thing or do what everybody say, but when it comes to little kids, they look at you as a superhero, bruh. That s**t right there was super, super corny.”

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.

Bhad Bhabie’s Latest Concerning LeVaughn Post

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

“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.

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.”
