October 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Curren$y says that visiting Memphis isn’t the same since Young Dolph died in 2021. He explained how not being able to reach out to his “potna” has changed the experience for him on Twitter in a post from last week. “Landing in Memphis and not reaching out to my potna to get the fire is crazy man. Long live flipper [dolphin emoji],” he wrote.

Young Dolph was shot and killed while visiting Makeda’s Homemade Butter Cookies where he would often frequent while in town. An autopsy later revealed that he suffered 22 gunshot wounds in the attack. Dolph was just 36 years old at the time of his death.

In addition to not being excited about traveling to Memphis, Curren$y recently explained on Drink Champs that he doesn’t like performing abroad either. “I only went overseas on one run, bro,” he said at the time. “Yeah, one run and then we came back and we bought some cars and I was just like, ‘I’m straight.’ All the ketchup didn’t taste like ketchup. Everything was fucking crazy. It was tough to be happy with weed. It was bad, bro. In every coffee shop I went in in Amsterdam, it was all just not good weed.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Curren$y on HotNewHipHop.

Prince Dre Recalls King Von’s Death: “I Was There”

October 14, 2023 by newhiphopnews

During a recent interview with No Jumper, Prince Dre recalled the death of King Von. The Chicago-born rapper was involved in a shooutout in Atlanta in November of 2020, which resulted in his untimely passing. According to Prince Dre, he was around when the 26-year-old was shot, but wasn’t aware of how dire the situation was until later.

“I was around but I wasn’t right there though,” he explained when asked where he was when he heard the news. He also confirmed that he was in Atlanta the night of the shooutout. “I ain’t gon lie, I ain’t know folks got shot until all that sh*t was over with,” he continued. “Like later on.” When Adam 22 asked him where he was when the actual shooting took place, he claimed that he was there. “I was there,” he said. “I just wasn’t right right there.”

He elaborated, describing how he was “around” while not actually being at the exact location of the shooting. “It was a lot of people out there,” he recalled. “Basically, I heard it and I’m running into it, but I’m seeing everybody running. So I’m like, ‘damn, should I run to that sh*t?’ It was like some sh*t stopping me like, ‘hell no, you trippin’.’ So I’m just trying to see, pay attention to everything. Then when that sh*t was over with, everybody panicking and sh*t. They getting at ‘folks got hit.’ What?” he recalled thinking. “That’s how that sh*t was.”

Lul Tim, born Timothy Leeks, was arrested and charged with King Von’s murder in November of 2020. The Quando Rondo affiliate was then released on bail in 2021, and was preparing to go to trial. His charges were dropped in August of this year, however, after evidence surfaced appearing to show King Von assaulting Quando Rondo ahead of the shooting. Prosecutors now claim the act was carried out in self-defense. What do you think of Prince Dre’s recollection?

October 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The mother of YG’s two daughters, Catelyn Sparks, was involved in a deadly car accident in Los Angeles today. According to reports, an 89-year-old woman was pronounced dead at the scene. Fortunately, Sparks’ injuries weren’t as severe, and she was taken to a nearby hospital to be treated. Law enforcement sources told TMZ that the crash was purely accidental, and Sparks didn’t commit any crimes. Authorities also note that no drugs or alcohol was involved.

Sparks is reported to have been driving a 2023 Tesla while the other woman was driving a 1985 Cadillac. The crash was the result of a U-turn gone wrong, leading to Sparks hitting the woman’s driver-side door. She has yet to comment on the accident.

YG and Sparks welcomed their first daughter, Harmony, in May of 2015. After announcing that Sparks was expecting in March of 2019, they had their second daughter Vibe that July. Though it remains unclear where Sparks and YG stand at this point, the rapper’s been flexing his relationship with Saweetie since May of this year. Fans speculated that their romance took Sparks by surprise, as she shared a mysterious message on social media shortly after they were spotted together in Mexico. “Just because we got the same blood don’t make us family & just because we got kids don’t make us family, cuz with ‘family’ like mine? I rather not have any,” she wrote.

As for his music, YG recently dropped off a new collaborative album alongside Tyga, Hit Me When U Leave The Klub: The Playlist. Ahead of the full release, the duo dropped off their single “Brand New,” tapping Lil Wayne. He and Tyga also teamed up with Saweetie to celebrate her turning 30 back in August, unveiling the fun track “Birthday.” What do you think of the tragic news?

Mase Recalls Being Trapped By Bloods After The Notorious B.I.G.’s Death

October 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Mase says that a crew of about 70 Bloods pinned him down in a hotel in Los Angeles following the killing of The Notorious B.I.G. During the latest episode of his sports talk show with Cam’ron, It Is What It Is, Mase recalled the scary incident. He began by joking that it sounded like a Keefe D topic.

“I was in a hotel, I was actually in a hotel with a young lady,” he began, before elaborating, “I was trapped in the hotel. It was about, probably like, 70 or so Bloods in the hallway. I couldn’t even leave my room. After Big got killed, they were probably looking for more Bad Boy artists. And I couldn’t even leave the room ’til Gene Deal [Diddy’s former bodyguard] had to come get me.”

Afterward, Cam’ron remarked: “Damn, that’s fucked up. Sorry.” Mase then continued: “I was left in L.A. And from that day, I always said, ‘I’m outta here. I was left! I came there with people; I ain’t leave with those people. You know how it goes. Find your way home.” As for how he eventually got back, he explained: “To my recollection, I think we had to go to Vegas or something like that to get back to New York.” Check out the full episode of It Is What It Is below.

Mase Recalls The Night Biggie Died

The Notorious B.I.G. was killed in a drive-by shooting in Los Angeles back on March 9, 1997. The 24-year-old had been leaving a Soul Train Awards afterparty when the shooting went down. At a red light, a group inside a Chevy Impala pulled up alongside his GMC Suburban and opened fire. Over two decades later, the case remains unsolved.

Angus Cloud’s Mom Shares “Euphoria” Actor’s Final Words

September 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Angus Cloud’s mom, Lisa, revealed the Euphoria actor’s final words during an interview with PEOPLE published on Monday. The update comes after his death was ruled an accidental overdose from “a lethal combination of fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine, and more,” according to TMZ. Cloud was found dead in his family’s home in July.

“‘I love you, mama. You’re the best,’” Lisa recalled Cloud saying. “‘I’ll see you in the morning.’” Of the ruling on his death, she added: “It was predominantly the central nervous system depressants. It started to slow his heart and slow his breathing. He got tired from lack of oxygen. Everything just slowed down, and eventually his heart stopped and he went to sleep. But he didn’t kill himself.”

In the wake of his passing, tons of people Cloud has worked with over the years spoke out with tributes for the late actor. Euphoria star Zendaya remarked that Cloud was “like a little brother instantly; ironic because we played characters with the exact opposite dynamic. I’m lucky because I got to experience the most beautiful parts of him. I got to watch him create and I got to watch him discover the fact that he was an actor. A damn good one at that, and as many times as I would tell him or compliment his performance, I don’t think he ever truly believed it.”

In addition to his role as Fezco in Euphoria, Cloud also had small roles in North Hollywood (2021) and The Line (2023). Additionally, he appeared in music videos from Noah Cyrus, Juice Wrld, Becky G, and Karol G. Cloud was just 25 years old at the time of his death.

September 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

PnB Rock’s girlfriend, Steph Sibounheuang, says that she’s been battling the “deepest depression” while coming to terms with the one-year anniversary of the rapper’s passing. She reflected on the incident and how she’s dealt with losing her partner in a lengthy post on Instagram, Tuesday. She added several photos of the two of them together from over the years.

“I’ve been in the deepest depression for a lil min contemplating todays date, which makes a year since your transition,” she wrote. “I argued with God about openly reliving this day and i absolutely did not want to, so this is an act of obedience. This same day last year, you could look into my eyes and and tell my soul was not in my body. All I could hear were the gunshots over and over and they were so LOUD I couldn’t hear myself think. I was so terrified and heartbroken.”

So today, I will push thru and be joyful and celebrate you, just like you asked me to do. For I know this Earth is temporary and we will spend eternity together. You’re a legend and not only that…but a hero. I’m forever yours and forever loyal to you. I will live my life to the fullest because you gave your life for me.

Rihanna’s Cousin Tanella Alleyne Dead In Barbados Years After Brother’s Fatal Shooting

September 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Rihanna’s life has been filled to the brim with blessings lately. Unfortunately, the 35-year-old is currently feeling the pain of losing a family member. As per Loop Barbados News, the “Diamonds” singer’s cousin, Tanella Alleyne, died suddenly in her home country last month. It’s an especially tough loss for the Fenty clan, seeing as the 28-year-old’s brother, Tavon, was fatally shot just six years before, which still weighs heavily on their hearts. The outlet notes that Tanella’s funeral took place on Monday (August 28) at St. George Parish Church.

It’s unclear whether Rihanna was able to attend so soon after giving birth. We can confirm her beautiful ballad “Lift Me Up” was played at her cousin’s celebration of life. A member of the family, Miguel Fenty, sent a message out on Twitter afterward reflecting on recent events. “What a beautiful funeral service Tanella [had], like it’s still surreal to me,” he wrote. “Seeing her in that casket really hit me and I cried not too long ago.”

Rihanna’s Family Shocked by Tanella Alleyne’s Sudden Death

“Like she really is gone. Like, let this be a dream, but it’s not. I’m really gonna miss her and our conversations. She was an angel,” he continued, singing the late woman’s praises. Tanella’s cause of death is unclear at this time, however, her adoptive mother described her as a woman who “lived a life of gratitude with an outrageous amount of attitude, sprinkled heavily with confidence” during her euology.

Just weeks after welcoming her second son, it’s likely that Rihanna’s emotions are running higher than usual amid this tragic news about Tanella. Her partner, ASAP Rocky recently revealed that they’re planning on sharing the little one’s name with the world soon, though we won’t be upset if instead, they opt to take time to mourn their loss. Read more about baby Fenty No. 2 at the link below, and check back later for more music/pop culture news updates. RIP.
