The Incident

Caught on cameras, the child, dressed in a red t-shirt and shorts, allegedly took the gun from Pippens, who was dressed in orange, and then aimed and fired the weapon. In the video, Pippens attempts to retrain the child’s mother (in purple). But as the altercation continues into the streets, the child points the firearm and a single gunshot is heard. Then, Pippens falls to the ground.

Pippens’ Account

Joshua Pippens has spoken out from his hospital bed, asserting that he was not the aggressor in this situation. He claimed that the young boy acted under the influence of his mother. “As y’all can see, I was not the aggressor,” Pippens stated on social media. He explained that the child grabbed the gun from his hip, following his mother’s lead. Despite the incident, Pippens expressed his continued love for the child, lamenting that the boy was only acting based on his mother’s actions.

Custody Dispute

Pippens hinted that the confrontation might have stemmed from a custody dispute over a child the couple shares. He defended his position, stating, “That’s why I got custody of my kids and she don’t.” He suggested that if there were any legal repercussions, they would have already been addressed, emphasizing that his actions were motivated by a desire to protect his rights over his children.

Lil Durk Speaks?

Rapper Lil Durk, who is the father of seven children, has not directedly issued a comment on the matter. However, on July 8th, he did share a brief post on X that may have hinted that his album is on the way. “Save that money for them kids kids kids kids kids,” he wrote.

Rick Ross Draws Huge Crowd To Car Show, Debuts “Slippery Soap” Car Detailing Line

by

Rick Ross just hosted his third annual car show at his Georgia estate, drawing a crowd of over 12,000 people and including performers like Quavo, Boosie, Bun B, and many more. Overall, it seems like it was an incredibly successful affair, especially as the Biggest Boss took the opportunity to launch his new “Slippery Soap” car detailing line. Moreover, it includes ceramic spray wax, interior cleaning, quick cleaning, and many more services that were a big part of this automobile extravaganza. Of course, there’s a lot of social media coverage of this, so check out Rozay’s pages and hit up a quick Twitter search if you want to see more clips in addition to those further down below.

With great cooperation with Fayette County and South Fulton, culinary offerings, and a smooth handling of traffic and safety, Rick Ross’ third annual car show seems like it went pretty hard. However, he’s got a lot of other stuff to handle as well, namely some long-running and recent developments in his rap beefs. 50 Cent recently trolled the Mississippi native with some of his questionable lyrics amid the Diddy scandal, and Ross responded with some more scathing shots. That rivalry is one of rap’s long-standing artistic institutions at this point, with seemingly no end in sight.

Elsewhere, Rick Ross is pretty much doing his thing: living lavish, doing some social media trolling, raising fans’ eyebrows with his PDA with his new girlfriend… Wait, what was that last part? His relationship with partner Paige Imani got some social media flack recently for perhaps moving a little too fast after his split from Cristina Mackey a couple of months ago. Maybe fans are just exaggerating, but it is a pretty curious speed.

Rick Ross & More Perform At His Car Show

Meanwhile, we’ll see what else comes of Rick Ross’ car show as fans are starting to walk away from his beef with The Game. It seems like, if anything, that will just be another social media spat more than anything else. Even though the Los Angels MC tried to meet him on wax, it seems like Ross doesn’t want a direct confrontation. But who knows, maybe there’s still more gas in the tank.

Jonathan Majors Assault Investigation Moves Forward As Troubling New Details Emerge

by

Jonathan Majors’ career rose to newfound heights in 2023. Unfortunately for the Creed III star, it also reached new lows, which he’s still seeking to recover from. Shortly after the premiere of his two major film projects this year, the California native was arrested on assault charges. There’s been much confusion regarding what went down between him and then-girlfriend Grace Jabbari in the back of a New York taxi cab, but a newly released 115-page filing gives insight into the troubling domestic dispute.

As Uproxx reports, Majors’ arrest was on March 25. That same day, he and Jabbari were on their way from a party in Brooklyn to their home in Chelsea when a text on the 34-year-old’s phone caught his partner’s eye. It allegedly read, “Wish I was kissing you right now,” garnering an obviously upset reaction. When Jabbari grabbed her man’s phone, he responded by “grabbing the right side of Ms. Jabbari’s body and prying Ms. Jabbari’s right middle finger off the phone, causing bruising, swelling, and substantial pain.” Afterward, Jonathan was allegedly “grabbing Ms. Jabbari’s arm and right hand and proceeding to twist Ms. Jabbari’s forearm, causing substantial pain to her finger and arm.”

Finally, the filing says that the Ant-Man 3 star struck his partner’s right ear, causing not only substantial pain for her, but also a laceration. When the cab stopped, prosecutors allege that Majors “grabbed [Jabari], picked her up, and threw her back inside.” This only furthered the woman’s injuries, adding a fractured finger, bruising about her body, and a bump on her head to the list.

It’s no secret that Jonathan Majors found himself suddenly falling from fame after he was arrested on assault charges earlier this year. Many of his famous friends and co-stars have distanced themselves from the embattled star as he awaits his fate, but thankfully, his new lover Meagan Good has been sticking faithfully by his side. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Jacquees Bit A Woman Before Attempting To Flee In A Ferrari During Arrest: Report

by

Jacquees was arrested for simple battery and willful obstruction of law enforcement officers, last week, for allegedly biting a female employee at a bar near the Mall of Georgia and trying to flee in a Ferrari. Further details on the arrest have been reported by WSBTV.

The outlet reports that witnesses called the police to the Local Tap bar around 11:30 PM on Thursday. There, they complained that the singer was being “loud and boisterous.” The battery victim told police Jacquees choked her and bit her on the hand. It’s unclear if the two knew each other prior to the incident.

Police eventually tracked down Jacquees at a nearby parking lot. There, he resisted arrest and fled the scene. At the time of his arrest, the arresting officer wrote in his statement: “The defendant did not obey my command and instead kept driving the vehicle at a low rate of speed with heavy traffic still northbound on Ocean Drive. He was then asked again to pull over and to provide me with his driver’s license. The defendant once again refused to obey a lawful command from this officer.”

“Additional officers had to be requested in emergency mode due to the large crowd gathering and the defendant still not complying,” the statement continued. “It should be noted that the defendant’s actions disrupted the peace and quiet and public morals of bystanders on a busy spring break day on ocean drive in Miami Beach.”

After the booking, Jacquees’ mugshot went viral on social media. He eventually paid a $3,700 bond to get out of jail. Jacquees was nominated for best male R&B artist at the BET Awards in 2020. He’s collaborated with Lil Baby, Young Thug, Future, and more over the course of his career. Be on the lookout for further updates on Jacquees’ case on HotNewHipHop.

Kendrick Lamar & “South Park” Creators’ New Movie Gets More Details

by

Of all the ways in which the greatest rapper of our generation could’ve broken into the film industry, this couldn’t have been on many people’s Bingo card. Kendrick Lamar and “South Park” creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker are producing a live-action comedy movie together, which just got some new details about it. While there’s no release date yet, Deadline reported the news last January that they’ll make the film for Paramount Pictures alongside Lamar’s creative partner Dave Free. Now, Above The Line reports that Parker will direct the flick. Shooting was supposed to begin last spring but faced conflicts with Parker and Stone’s schedules.

However, hopes are high that they’ll begin shooting this year. Of course, many reacted negatively to this news, but only time will tell whether this is something truly great or a throwaway venture. Still, it’s Kendrick Lamar we’re talking about, and his most divisive projects have proven to cause a lot of meaningful conversation regardless. Perhaps “South Park” was one of the inspiration points for “Cartoons and Cereal,” and if he’s passionate about it, odds are that it’ll be an unencumbered vision.

Kendrick Lamar’s Movie With “South Park” Creators Slowly Unveils

On that note, maybe it isn’t so weird that Kung Fu Kenny tapped in with the Book of Mormon creators. After all, through ownership of a tech company, they provided the deep fake technology for Kendrick’s “The Heart Part 5.” As far as other collaborators involved, Emmy Award-winning writer Vernon Chatman will handle script duties. Moreover, it’s not the first time he’ll work with a rapper, as he collaborated with Killer Mike and Snoop Dogg in the past.

Meanwhile, what really caused doubt in this project is the film’s outlined plot. “The film will depict the past and present coming to a head when a young black man who is interning as a slave reenactor at a living history museum discovers that his white girlfriend’s ancestors once owned his,” the description reads. While it sounds potentially insensitive and crude, it undeniably relates to a lot of concepts the Compton rapper spoke on before, especially on Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers. As such, it’s exciting to see him venture into risky territory yet again, and hopefully it actually results in something compelling and meaningful, whether in comedic or dramatic terms. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest updates on this story and more news on Kendrick Lamar.
