Foolio’s Alleged IG Hacker Boasts About $250K Promo Earnings After His Death

June 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this month, Jacksonville rapper Foolio was tragically shot and killed while celebrating his 26th birthday at a Tampa Airbnb. The unexpected incident has resulted in an outpouring of love and support from his fans, peers, and family members. Not everyone has been respectful in the aftermath of his death, however. Last week, it appeared as though the late artist’s Instagram account had been hacked, as it became active once again.

At first, the account left a trash can emoji under a post by one of Foolio’s longtime rivals, Yungeen Ace. It was in response to the Yungeen Ace’s diss track “Game Over,” and garnered a sarcastic reaction from him. The account went on to share an odd promotional video, in which Foolio urged fans to follow a company’s account.

Foolio’s Instagram Account Is Still Active Despite His Death

For obvious reasons, this left fans confused, and questioning who could be behind the strange posts. This is still unconfirmed at the time of writing, though the alleged hacker continues to be active online. Recently, for example, they took to the late rapper’s Instagram Story to boast about how much they earned from the aforementioned ad. “First rapper to make $250K off a promo ad,” they wrote. Commenters are weighing in on the bizarre activity in DJ Akademiks’ comments section, and most agree that it’s far from tasteful.

“Page being more active in the afterlife is cr*zy,” one social media user says. “Everyone saying he faked his death, nah it’s just his people disrespecting tf outta his name and making money off a deadman,” someone else writes. What do you think of Foolio’s Instagram account seemingly getting hacked days after his passing? Are you surprised or not? What about the alleged hacker boasting about their promo earnings?

Yungeen Ace Ruthlessly Disses Foolio (Again) On New Song “Game Over”

June 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yungeen Ace and Foolio did not like each other. They were caught up in a deadly feud that lasted years. It may have potentially played a role in Foolio’s death. Tragedy has not stopped Ace, however. The rapper has continued to diss Foolio on record. Yungeen Ace dropped a song called “Do It” right after Foolio passed, on which he alludes to putting out a hit on someone’s life. Ace doesn’t mention names, but he knew how the verse would be perceived by the public. He decided to do it again. Worse, he decided to be more disrespectful.

Yungeen Ace dropped the song “Game Over” on June 28. The title already carries with it extremely grim connotations. The bars are even worse. “Dead on the floor, dead on arrival, Mr. 6. I’m steady screamin’ out, “F*ck the long, f*ck the 6,” Ace raps. “Four in the car and one of them dead, three got hit. I told them n**gas they don’t want no war with this sh*t.” This is where plausible deniability goes out the proverbial window. Foolio was one of four passengers in a car when he was killed. Foolio’s set is 6 Block. The number is littered throughout the entire song. Yungeen Ace isn’t even trying to be subliminal. “Game Over” literally starts with the rapper saying: “Y’all know I smoke dead people, man, you know what I’m sayin’? And I smoke 6, haha.”

Yungeen Ace References Details From Foolio’s Murder

The rapper went as far as to detail Foolio’s death. “5.56 increase the murder rate, ‘nother body on the way,” he spits. “Mask on, get up close, this another closed case. Don Julio shots to the face.” Foolio used the name “Julio Fulio,” and Yungeen Ace likens his death via shooting to taking shots of Don Julio tequila. Disrespectful doesn’t do the song justice. Ace’s decision to celebrate Foolio’s death so publicly could come back to haunt him, however. Especially given how blatant he’s been with his bars.

Criminal lawyer Brian Rivers analyzed Yungeen Ace’s “Do It” on social media. He claimed that the lyrics could land the rapper in serious legal trouble. “If they can link Yungeen Ace to any kind of case,” Rivers explained. “This is coming into evidence. If you dance this close to the sun, you’re gonna get f*cking burned.” Ace’s decision to not only drop a diss, but drop a second, more detailed diss, is certainly an example of dancing close to the sun. Time will tell if his career suffers as a result. His reputation, however, has already started to chip away.

Yungeen Ace Drops Foolio Diss Track, “Do It,” Just Hours After His Death

June 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yungeen Ace, who was engaged in a serious feud with Foolio for years, dropped a new song titled, “Do It,” just hours after news of the Florida rapper’s death became public. “Catch his ass and do his ass, you know he’s finished,” Ace raps at one point in the track. Foolio was shot and killed outside of a Holiday Inn while celebrating his 26th birthday in Tampa, Florida over the weekend.

The beef between Ace and Foolio has lasted several years. It stems from a rivalry between their respective crews, Ace’s ATK and Foolio’s KTA. There have been several shootings with victims on both sides of the violence. In 2021, Ace collaborated on, “Who I Smoke,” on which he mentions the names of several dead associates of Foolio. Foolio responded with “When I See You,” which samples a news team’s coverage of the killing of Ace’s brother.

Roger Bonds Recalls Asking One Of Kim Porter’s “Close Friends” About Diddy After Her Death

June 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Roger Bonds says he spoke with one of Kim Porter’s “close friends” after her tragic death of lobar pneumonia in 2018. He recalled doing so during an interview with VladTV that has been causing all kinds of headlines in recent days. The former security guard for the Bad Boy mogul has been making numerous claims about Diddy and his relationship with Cassie.

Bonds explained that he wasn’t involved with Diddy directly at the time, but was “still in the mix” while working with Ciroc. He claims he spoke with one of Porter’s “closet friends” after her passing: “I just needed to know and I asked them, ‘What do you think?’ And this was one of Kim’s closest friends and she said, ‘Bonds, I would hate to think that he had something to do with it,’ she said.’” From there, he recalled the friend detailing the days leading up to her passing and a time she wore an IV in her arm at a party.

Bonds also denied the rumors that Porter was writing a “tell-all” book about the allegations against Diddy. Instead, he says a friend told him it was just a children’s book. “She didn’t like the way that Puff controlled her and the way he controlled the money he would give her for the kids. So, she wanted to make sure– her exact words were, ‘This motherf*cker not gonna run my kids like this. I want them to have they own money like Russell and his kids have.’ So, she was trying to build a foundation for them to have their own following.” He concluded by saying that he thinks Diddy truly loved Kim and doesn’t think he would’ve played a part in her death. However, he says in the wake of the latest allegations he can’t definitively say either way.

Roger Bonds Speaks On Diddy & Kim Porter

The interview comes after CNN published footage of Diddy assaulting Cassie at a hotel in 2016. He eventually apologized for the incident a few days later. Be on the lookout for further updates on Roger Bonds and Diddy on HotNewHipHop.

The group relocated to a nearby Holiday Inn, where Foolio was ambushed.

White began by claiming he expected Foolio to get shot eventually, before joking about where he was when the shooting took place. “The Holiday Inn?” he asked emphatically. “What the f*ck? Ain’t no protection on a n***a at the Holiday Inn. They ain’t even got valet parking.” From there, he remarked that Foolio “works hard to die.” Check out his full comments on the situation below.

Foolio’s Attorney Confirms His Passing, Asks For Respect & Privacy On Family’s Behalf

June 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The news of Foolio’s tragic loss in Tampa, Florida following a shooting at his birthday party has been reportedly confirmed by his lawyer, Lewis Fusco. Moreover, he shared an Instagram Story on Sunday morning (June 23) asking fans to respect his family’s privacy during this time, and also confirmed the news with local Jacksonville news outlet News4JAX or WJXT4. “We will not be making any additional statements until further notice,” Fusco wrote on IG, reposting coverage of the murder. “Please respect his family during this difficult time. Rest in peace @julio_foolio.”

What happened in this situation coincided with Foolio’s 26th birthday pool party celebrations in Tampa at an Airbnb over the weekend. They moved to a Holiday Inn after police shut down the first shindig, and some reports suggested that he was making his location pretty clear online. The “ambush” shooting took the Confidential Thoughts rapper’s life and injured three others, and very little is known at press time about the perpetrators, what specifically happened, whether or not he was involved in any way, or other details about the shooting. “Y’all took my boyfriend from me. I hate y’all & I won’t be the only one crying [broken heart emoji],” his alleged girlfriend Mani shared on Twitter on Sunday.

“God thank you for allowing me to see another Year & To celebrate another birthday,” Foolio had tweeted on Friday (June 21), his actual birthday before the weekend’s celebrations. “Appreciate all the birthday wishes so far.” Sadly, his social media presence was quite a combative one that involved a lot of beef and tension with other rappers and celebrities. While the Jacksonville MC was always one to speak out, a lot of folks hoped he would be able to move past that and into a better phase of his life and career.

After all, Foolio had suffered various shootings before his tragic and untimely passing. Our prayers and best wishes are with his family and loved ones, and we hope that hip-hop can take this loss and build bridges out of it. We shouldn’t lose more artists and community members to avoidable conflicts, and we must be aware of how dangerously we allow some artists to live their lives unchecked. We’ll see what other details emerge from this story.

Foolio Reportedly Dies At 26 After Tampa Birthday Party Shooting

June 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The hip-hop community is in mourning once again, as according to reports, Jacksonville rapper Julio Foolio was shot and killed in Tampa this weekend. Based on various posts on his Instagram Story, he had been celebrating his 26th birthday with a pool party at a local Airbnb when police shut things down. After that, he and other attendees appeared to move to another location. Some reports suggest that this was a nearby Holiday Inn, where a shooting took place early this morning, killing one and leaving three others injured. Foolio’s involvement in this particular shooting is unconfirmed at the time of writing, however, and the exact circumstances leading up to his reported death remain unclear.

“Y’all took my boyfriend from me. I hate y’all & I won’t be the only one crying [broken heart emoji],” Foolio’s girlfriend Mani Tweeted earlier today. Other associates and loved ones are leaving heartfelt and emotional messages about his reported passing under his recent posts, many of which have to do with his aforementioned birthday celebration. “Rest in power,” one of them wrote today.

Foolio Reportedly Killed At Tampa Hotel

“God thank you for allowing me to see another Year & To celebrate another birthday,” the newly 26-year-old Tweeted on Friday (June 21). “Appreciate all the birthday wishes so far.” In another post, he expressed excitement as he arrived at the Airbnb where he planned to host his pool party. Sadly, this isn’t the first tragic and untimely loss hip-hop fans have seen as of late. Earlier this month, it was reported that 1017 artist Enchanting passed away shortly after being put on life support.

Again, the circumstances leading up to her death are unconfirmed. She was also only 26, and her passing resulted in countless heartfelt messages about her life and lasting legacy. Our sympathy goes out to Foolio’s loved ones as they mourn the tragic and unexpected loss. Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.
