Amber Rose Tells Donald Trump’s Daughter-In-Law Why She’s Supporting Him For President

July 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Amber Rose isn’t shying away from her support of Donald Trump for president anytime soon, and is even getting cozy with the family. Moreover, she recently explained why she publicly endorsed the former U.S. President as he seeks to beat incumbent Joe Biden on The Right View, hosted by none other than Lara Trump. For those unaware, The Right View is a conservative podcast platform, and Lara is the wife of one of Trump’s kids, Eric. We’re sure that they spoke about some other topics, considerations, and angles, but one particular clip caught many fans’ attention for how Rose explained her support of Trump and how the vague explanation is very different to many folks’ view of him.

“Like, for me, Donald Trump is the epitome of an alpha male,” Amber Rose’ remarks on the convicted president began. “Right? He’s there to protect, provide, make sure the citizens of the U.S. are, you know, in a good economy. Protecting us. You know, I feel protected by Donald Trump. That’s why I wanted to come out and publicly endorse him because… I just feel safe.”

In fact, Amber Rose is taking things even a step further by even doubling down on this support through her creative endeavors as well as her personal platforms. For example, she recently appeared in rapper Forgiato Blow’s music video for “Trump Trump Baby,” and yes, that’s an homage to Vanilla Ice’s “Ice Ice Baby” because how could it not be? “Democrat Party going to take your freedom / Indicting our president because they can’t beat him,” Blow spits on the song. “The media is the enemy of the people / The Democrats and the fakes news always be cheating.”

“Is Donald Trump not for women’s rights issues?” Amber Rose told TMZ. “He’s trying to make America great again. That’s for women too right? So, there you go. I think people see the injustice in [the guilty verdicts] and they want to vote for him more than ever. I think we just did our research and we’re not brainwashed anymore by the left, I can say that about myself. All these years I’ve been brainwashed and I’m not anymore.”

Misa Hylton Reflects On Diddy Founding Bad Boy Records In Controversial Instagram Post

July 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Diddy scandal has made it pretty much impossible to look back at his prime Bad Boy Records days without a dark context hanging over it. Nevertheless, a lot of folks from back in the day have spoken about their experiences in both positive and negative ways, with fashion designer Misa Hylton’s latest post becoming the latest point of controversy. Moreover, she reflected on how Sean Combs kicked the record label off after Uptown Records and its founder Andre Harrell fired him. While not many people expressed admiration or sympathy this time around, it’s a key hip-hop story that will likely endure, hopefully with the recognition of Puff’s abuse of Cassie and his other crimes (if found guilty, as he stands by his innocence).

“1993,” Misa Hylton’s post about Diddy began. “I was pregnant. Puffy just got fired from Uptown records. Dre said there cannot be two Kings in a castle. He was right. It comes a time. Puffy was scared. He had a child on the way and we just moved into a Big beautiful new home. He had me call Dre and ask for his job back several times. Dre stood on business. The same way a father would when it’s time for his son to make that move. I told Puffy he could do it. He was a mastermind. He just had to do exactly what he had been doing successfully at Uptown Records. Just for himself now.

“I wasn’t scared,” Misa Hylton continued concerning Diddy. “I believed in him. Bad Boy started in our basement in Scarsdale, NY. Thanks to the legendary Bert Padell. One night we were at the palladium and Puff was about to give Flex THE RECORD. I can still picture that moment. We were at the bar patiently waiting for the record to [play]. The crowd response was going to tell us everything we needed to know. Flava in your Ear played. Everyone went CRAZZZYYYYYY. Puff looked at me and said you see this shit Mees!! I just smiled. It’s Bad Boyyyyyyy. My Life Story. My experience. Beside every Bad Boy was a Bad gyal!

“**Please do not come here with any negativity, instead try praying for all involved,” Misa Hylton concluded her Diddy story. “You cannot erase history and cultural impact. This is also OUR legacy. EVERY single person whose blood, sweat, tears, talent and business acumen went into this movement. WERE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED WERE YOU NOT INSPIRED??! btw- I had Justin at 19years old, I turned 20yrs old 7 days later. For a while the internet had my age wrong. I said hey leave it. Stop believing everything on the internet. Rest in Peace Craig Mack, Notorious BIG, Andre Harrell, Bert Padell.”

Angela Simmons Laughs At Her Own Ridiculous Oreo Promo After Cookie Brand’s Jokes

July 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Angela Simmons seems to be on the Internet’s bad side, as fans relentlessly trolled her for a promotion she did with Oreo. Moreover, to promote a fried Oreos collaboration between her Angela’s Cakes brand and the Slutty Vegan chain, she posted a video of herself in a bathtub full of Oreos on Tuesday (July 9) and faced a lot of ridicule online for it. But the cookie brand joined in on the fun, posting a picture of a bathtub full of Oreos on their Instagram Story and writing: “Imagine hating me and i’m just at home doing this. Boy we have a crush on Angela Simmons.” “We have a crush on you too,” Simmons wrote in her IG Story repost and reply to this meme, so it’s clear that she can laugh at herself, as well.

However, this isn’t all that Angela Simmons got cooked for on the Internet recently. The other incident involves her bedazzled gun purse at the 2024 BET Awards, which many thought wasn’t just corny, but also insensitive. Simmons apologized for taking that to the awards ceremony not once, but twice. However, even her boo Yo Gotti doubled down and supported her throughout this.

Oreo Is Standing Behind Angela Simmons

“She just practicing LOL,” Yo Gotti shared on his Instagram Story recently amid toy gun emojis and laughing emojis. “I deeply regret that this item, which symbolizes a gun, was inappropriate and insensitive,” Angela Simmons wrote of the controversy. “Especially given my personal and community experiences with gun violence. […] I have personally lost my partner, the father of my child, to gun violence. I have witnessed its devastating impact on my community in Southeast Queens.

“My work with Erica Ford and my own organization that creates programs to reduce gun violence and helps those directly impacted by the pandemic, have always been about making peace a lifestyle,” Angela Simmons continued. “I ask for your understanding and forgiveness, and I hope that you can accept my sincere apology. While this incident was a misstep, I will not allow it to define my moral compass or my commitment to promoting peace and ending gun violence.”

Ryan Garcia & Wiz Khalifa Link-Up Leads To Criticism Following Boxer’s Racist Comments

July 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Over the weekend, Ryan Garcia went to support his brother Sean in his match against Amado Vargas on the Nate Diaz versus Jorge Masvidal undercard in Anaheim, California. In fact, he even ran into Wiz Khalifa at the event, and he shared a clip of their interaction online. “Real vibes real time @wizkhalifa What’s the next move, Monaco?????,” the boxer captioned the clip, with the rapper reportedly replying: “We linking up in Europe.” However, a lot of fans weren’t happy with this link-up due to Garcia’s recent racist rant against Black people and many other groups, and accused him of trying to exploit Wiz and black fans’ goodwill.

For those unaware, this even led to his expulsion from the World Boxing Council. “Exercising my authority as president of the WBC, I am hereby expelling Ryan Garcia from any activity with our organization,” Mauricio Sulaiman shared on Thursday, July 4. “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.” As such, many fans wondered whether or not Wiz Khalifa was aware of what Garcia had said, and posited that he wouldn’t be so keen for a photo op if he did.

“I haven’t spoken to Ryan in a long time,” Ryan Garcia’s dad told Fight Hub TV during a recent interview. “He speaks to his mother more than me. But it’s okay, he’ll call me when he wants to. I would love for him to get some type of therapy when it comes to his drinking. I’m being real. He says he can control it. I hope he can. But if he doesn’t… Get that therapy so he can stop.”

Meanwhile, Ryan Garcia already apologized for his remarks, although they were very heavy and combative, so not everyone is taking a forgiving stance. It’s also not his first notable rap crossover of the year, as he caused another uproar when he claimed truth to debunked rumors that Drake was involved in XXXTENTACION’s death. This not only prompted outrage from X fans, but also from close collaborators of him and Drizzy like Ski Mask The Slump God, Vory, and more. We’ll see whether other rappers become aware of what Garcia said, and whether or not they choose to let bygones be bygones if they meet.

RAP Ferreira Addresses Allegations Against Him Over Alleged Domestic Violence & More

July 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

RAP Ferreira recently faced domestic violence, child abuse, and sexual assault allegations from his ex-girlfriend, Chloe “Mekah” Stingley. In a video posted to his Instagram account, the rapper addressed these claims and, long story short, denied any wrongdoing in his remarks. First, he clarified that his legal team gave him the all-clear to speak on “private matters made public,” and apologized for the time in between these accusations and his response. Ferreira addressed a “legal battle” for his daughter with Stingley, someone whom he said he’s known for eight years and that he’s helped through incidents with some “violent men.”

Furthermore, R.A.P. Ferreira also claimed he paid $20,000 for a lawyer so Stingley could get custody of her son from another allegedly abusive partner, who is now in a county holding facility for stalking, domestic abuse, battery, sexual assault, and more. He said she moved to Tennessee and that he never lived at that home, and said that Stingley cut contact with him after he had a child with another partner. In addition, the First Fist To Make Contact When We Dap MC said he was never in a monogamous relationship with Stingley, and that he sought legal help to connect with his daughter again while prioritizing her safety.

R.A.P. Ferreira also claimed that the DCS report Stingley referred to about his alleged abuse of her son is facetious after a police investigation. Then, he claimed that Stingley partied at the time when they planned to meet to exchange their daughter, and that her attorney notified his of her claims that Ferreira sexually abused one of her children. He also added that state officials reportedly removed their daughter from Stingley’s care and is now with him. After this anecdote, Ferreira denied sexually assaulting anyone and said he never physically assaulted a woman or child.

“[R.A.P. Ferreira] physically assaulted my 7 year old at his record store, Soulfolks Records, used a deadly weapon against him and also sexually assaulted me,” Stingley alleged. “We lived in Nashville for a few months and fled in November of 2023 because of fear of bodily harm and death… I desire for Miel [their daughter] to keep a relationship with her father but not to the detriment of the health, safety and well being of myself or my children.”

Azealia Banks Denies Allegation That She Was Evicted From Florida Home Over Unpaid Rent

July 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Azealia Banks is one of the most outspoken people to ever grace the Internet, but she’s not always on the offensive online. Moreover, if you’ve been on social media today, you might have seen some alleged court documents spreading online supposedly showing that she was allegedly evicted from her Florida home for about $8K in unpaid rent. Apparently, the rapper said she didn’t pay rent due to a rat infestation and sued the homeowners for $50K for harassment. She then denied this rumor outright on social media, which posited that she had 72 hours to vacate the premises, and explained her side of the story.

“Ummm, this is a lie,” Azealia Banks shared on her Instagram Story on Friday (July 5), captioning a screenshot of a report on this eviction rumor from Pop Tingz on Twitter. “Lmao these Miami landlords be despeeeeraaaate. I’ve already moved CXO HQ to 7995 SW 154th Terrace, Palmetto Bay, FL 33157. Lmao why do these tostones grease bathing white wannabes in Miami really think I’m gonna play with them? Pop Tingz better correct that s**t.

“You can search the public record… There is no eviction ordered by any court,” Azealia Banks continued.
“The landlord is a drunk with H.Pylori who has been menacing me the entire time I lived there. Sis had her husband come in the house under the guise of fixing some broken outlets TO TAKE PICTURE OF MY F***ING LINGERIE!!!!!! LIKE YEOOOOO. Sucks for them.

“Sis accidentally texted me while having a yard sale saying she selling Hess trucks for $200 girls LOL,” Azealia Banks concluded. “Watch how I work this. You guys are gonna gag. These people have been f***ing with me the last two years I literally have not been able to concentrate. Sis calling me like we besties.

Joe Budden Draws Backlash For His Domestic Violence Comments & His Past Accusations

July 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Joe Budden doesn’t just give out hot takes on hip-hop: he also speaks on wider societal issues, for better or worse. Moreover, he recently sat down with the BagFuel podcast to speak on his perspective on domestic violence and abusive relationships, particularly when it relates to a man suffering from them. However, many folks online pointed out that the rapper and media personality has his own history when it comes to allegations of perpetrating these crimes. Nevertheless, he spoke from his own perspective and viewpoint when it comes to his struggles with toxic partnerships, addressing the dangers of gender standards regardless of how folks will respond to his point of view.

“I was in a domestic violence relationship, but we men, so we don’t know that,” Joe Budden posited. “We don’t know that if somebody just gets up and starts [saying], ‘Hey, you got a text I didn’t like. I’m burning all your clothes.’ That’s domestic violence… I had an incident one time where me and a lady broke up, and I took the phone back that I bought and was actively paying the bill for. Charges. Charges brought up. I didn’t know that [was stealing] so that was a lesson like, ‘Oh, okay. If there’s a dispute, you can’t tough the phone, even if you bought or got it.’”

Regarding Joe Budden’s accusations, his ex-partner Esther Baxter claimed that he caused her to have a miscarriage by allegedly sitting on her stomach during an altercation. Also, his ex Tahiry Jose called him out for supposed hypocrisy when he condemned the video of Diddy assaulting Cassie. “FOH, who??? The irony. This is so triggering!!!” she expressed on social media. “I remember joey throwing me down a flight of stairs dragging me back into the house & me having to talk him into letting me go. FOR HOURS!!!!

“This whole s**t took me out,” Jose continued. “So hard to watch. So sorry for Cassie and every other woman who is currently going through it or has ever gone through it. It’s tough.” “Tahiry you are a lying, failed gold digger that has abused, targeted and manipulated many men,” Joe Budden responded. “Outside of me you lack an identity which is why you’ve tried desperately to attach yourself to me for over 15 years. The last time i saw you i purchased a mattress from you and you were happy you made the sale, you were fine then.”

Ryan Garcia Expelled From World Boxing Council After Racist Twitter Rant

July 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ryan Garcia shocked social media this week with a racist Twitter rant that mocked George Floyd’s death, the Israel-Palestine conflict, and included multiple disparaging remarks and slurs against African Americans, Muslims, and other discriminated groups. Moreover, the World Boxing Council, one of four major organizations that sanction professional boxing bouts, announced his expulsion from the group on Thursday (July 4). “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.”

“I was trolling I want all the killing to stop,” Ryan Garcia expressed on social media as an apology after his remarks. “I love everyone sorry if I offended you.” This is a pretty rough year so far for him, as the New York State Athletic Commission banned him from boxing for a year due to testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs for his recent fight with Devin Haney. We don’t know what else will come of this development, but we hope that there aren’t more antics in its wake. After all, it seems like the last thing the controversial boxer needs right now.

Meanwhile, Ryan Garcia also went viral recently for claiming that Drake was responsible for the murder of XXXTENTACION. Plenty of folks, including X’s good friend Ski Mask The Slump God, blasted these theories outright. In fact, the court had already debunked this during the Florida rapper’s murder trial. It was a pretty bizarre response to the PED suspension, but this new racist rant sadly overshadows it now.

Foolio Compared To A “Demi God” In Instagram Account’s Latest Bizarre Post After His Death

July 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Fans are still mourning the death of Foolio following a shooting at his birthday celebrations, but that’s been a very strange process so far. Moreover, that’s thanks to his Instagram account, which has still been active and posting stuff since his passing, leading many to believe wild conspiracy theories about him faking this tragedy. This latest post adds more speculative gas to that fire. “THE LIFE OF A DEMI GOD [purple devil emoji],” the account posted on its Story, showing someone (presumably the Florida rapper himself) flexing their jewelry. “You can NEVER KILL A DEMI GOD [purple devil emoji]. The power of VOODOO is real and the WORLD will be shocked VERY SOON mark these words. KNOW MOMMY.”

In addition, Foolio’s Instagram account also recently commented on a post featuring his alleged killer, and its language ties back to this most recent Story post. “Demi God [purple devil emoji],” the account commented. “I ain’t going nowhere, I’m a demigod. You can’t get me,” he had said during a No Jumper interview earlier this year, and he even captioned an IG repost of this clip with the caption: “I’ll Never Die I’m a DemiGod.”

Foolio’s IG Account’s Latest Mystery

A post shared by No Jumper (@nojumper)

“My grandma does VOODOO,” Foolio’s Instagram account captioned a video post featuring an old WWE wrestling match and a video of him rapping in a vehicle. “He’s here, going to shock the world when the time is right. Game over?? The game just begun,” it continued. It seems like many of these posts were promptly deleted, so either these are hacks that his team is following up on or there are some very bizarre choices and developments behind the scenes. Either way, it’s a very spooky social media presence that many fans see as disrespectful, disturbing, and distressing.

Of course, another part of Foolio’s online presence since his death has been the attacks that Yungeen Ace sent his way after the shooting. This resulted in a while lot of controversy as well, especially with some scathing diss tracks and videos. But this hacking or revival narrative definitely takes precedent now as the most odd thing to emerge out of all this. Hopefully all this slows down and we can let him rest in peace.

Angela Simmons Issues Second Apology For Gun Purse At BET Awards

July 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Angela Simmons has had a rough 48 hours. The reality star turned heads at the BET Awards when she brought a bedazzled gun purse onto the red carpet. She not only showed off the gun purse, but posed with it as though it was actually a gun. She aimed it at photographers, which didn’t go over well, to say the least. Simmons was criticized for her fashion choice, and tried to quiet the situation by issuing an apology video. Evidently, the reality felt that more needed to be said.

Angela Simmons posted a lengthy written apology to Instagram on July 1. She explained her reasoning for bringing out the gun purse, and acknowledged why it may not have been a great idea in retrospect. “I deeply regret that this item, which symbolizes a gun, was inappropriate and insensitive,” she wrote over a black background. “Especially given my personal and community experiences with gun violence.” She claimed that she merely intended for the purse to “amplify” her beauty, but now views the accessory as a “bad decision.”

Angela Simmons Detailed Her Own Experience With Gun Violence

Simmons didn’t stop there. She then detailed the ways in which gun violence has impacted her life. “I have personally lost my partner, the father of my child, to gun violence,” she added. “I have witnessed its devastating impact on my community in Southeast Queens.” From there, Angela Simmons listed the ways in which she has fought gun violence. “My work with Erica Ford,” she explained. “And my own organization that creates programs to reduce gun violence and helps those directly impacted by the pandemic, have always been about making peace a lifestyle.”

The reality star wrapped up her statement by restating her apology. “I ask for your understanding and forgiveness,” she wrote. “And I hope that you can accept my sincere apology.” She referred to the gun purse as a “misstep” and promised that she would not let it impact the positive work she’s done. “I will not allow it to define my moral compass,” she subsequently wrote. “Or my commitment to promoting peace and ending gun violence.”
