Kodak Black Claims He’s “Never Sober” After Livestream Percocet Scandal

November 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In recent months, Kodak Black has seen plenty of ups and downs when it comes to his sobriety journey. In July, he announced that he was “mostly sober,” and could go multiple days without using substances. His supporters were glad to hear this, and supportive of his decision to change his life for the better. Unfortunately, however, that doesn’t appear to have lasted for long.

Just a few weeks ago, social media users suspected that they saw him allegedly pop a Percocet during a livestream with Kai Cenat. He eventually responded to these theories, defending his right to live his life however he chooses. “I’m just Yak, bro. Aint s*** changed, that’s how I came in this b****… I wake up like this. If anything, give me drugs. Give me drugs, and I’ll chill. When I’m not high, when I ain’t higher than a b****, I’m vibing. When I’m high, I’m in my coma bruh, I ain’t talking to nobody ‘cuz I’m getting high,” he explained.

Now, he’s responded to a fan describing him as sober during another stream, making it clear that this is not the case. “‘I love when Kodak is sober.’ B***h, I ain’t sober. I look sober? Never sober, b***h. For what? Look at all this money. Look at all this cash. Sober for what? I’m too young to die sober,” he said. Fans are disappointed with this latest admission, particularly after hearing Wallo give him heartfelt advice and words of encouragement last week.

In an emotional pep talk, Wallo reminded Kodak that his kids need him and that he has too much talent to go to waste. “You special,” he said. “Don’t ever doubt yourself. You got them babies counting on you. Now, it’s gon’ be times when you gon’ doubt yourself. You gon’ be in pain. But them babies counting on you. You got to be here.”

Suge Knight Theorizes Diddy Is Suffering From Drug Withdrawals Behind Bars

September 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Suge Knight believes that Diddy is going through drug withdrawals in jail while awaiting trial at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. He shared his theory during an interview with Chris Cuomo on his NewsNation show, earlier this week. Over the last year, several lawsuits against the Bad Boy mogul have accused him of using cocaine, although he’s denied the allegations.

“Nobody’s stepping up [to defend him] for the fact that you know what’s going on,” Suge began, before saying that regardless, he doesn’t expect him to flip. “I don’t think nobody is counting him out. I don’t think he’s going to crawl in a corner and die. He’s probably going through a lot of sh*t right now because he probably going through a lot of withdrawals from the drugs. But the industry got him on drugs.”

Diddy’s former lawyer, Mark Geragos, whose daughter is now on his legal team, told NewsNation afterward that the claims are baseless. “There’s no indication in the indictment that any of that is true,” Geragos told the outlet. “I don’t think Suge has any insight into anything that has happened within the last 10 years, other than the usual conspiracy scuttlebutt.”

Suge Knight Speaks On Diddy

Authorities arrested Diddy on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, last week, while sharing a 14-page federal indictment against him. He’s since pleaded not guilty and continues to maintain his innocence. He was unable to get approved for bail and will be residing behind bars until his next court appearance.

Fivio Foreign Angers Fans After Filming A Man Shooting Up Drugs

August 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Fivio Foreign sparked outrage online for filming a man using drugs amid a crowd that jeered and cheered him on, posting the interaction on social media on Sunday (August 25). This was during a link-up with Philly rapper Skrilla, and many felt like this clip promoted drug use and trade. “Philly bloccs Show got canceled we went to the hood to checc Skrilla,” he captioned the clip. The group around the user chanted “dog food,” a term often used to refer to heroin. One big part of the backlash was how the New York MC’s promotion of drug use contrasts with his 2024 U.S. presidential pick‘s policy.

Moreover, Donald Trump and his running mate J.D. Vance are very anti-drug, with the latter promising to subject convicted drug dealers to the death penalty if their campaign is victorious. Vance, an Ohio senator, should know well that the opioid crisis became a public health crisis in the state. This pairs with a rise in overdose deaths due to substances such as fentanyl. If Fivio Foreign thinks that drug use is a casual phenomenon that he should film indiscriminately, then perhaps he should reconsider his Trump support.

Elsewhere, Fivio Foreign clapped back at Pop Smoke’s brother’s claims that he’s fake about their relationship. “That n***a is weirdo don’t believe s**t them cornballs that want attention say,” he expressed on social media. “Pop ain’t follow that goofball when he was alive. Tell [him to] stop goin pop smoke crazy after death for the clout boy hated his own brother and pop [ain’t] fucc w this lame head a** n***a.” “Everybody gotta voice now…” Fivio captioned a related IG post. “Play some pop smoke so I don’t have to hear these N***as voice no more.”

“Y’all talking about a follow,” Fivio Foreign continued concerning Pop Smoke’s brother’s claims that he is not following the late superstar on Instagram. “Look at this, I have ‘The smoke will never clear’ on my chest. Y’all talking about a follow? I don’t know how they unfollow, I know I went through a season of following zero people. I don’t even care.”

April 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Aoki Lee Simmons has responded to the rumors that she’s been using drugs, countering the idea by suggesting she’s just hyper and a nerd. Filming herself with a friend on Instagram Live, she addressed the claims while showing off her Kindle Scribe.

To start, Simmons explained that her behavior on Instagram Live often appears confusing when taken out of the context in which it was filmed. “I’m not on drugs,” she said. “I don’t do coke. I just like sugar and I’m a nerd. Like, I don’t think any of you guys have any friends who are actual nerds. Like, you have any friends who have played Dungeons and Dragons like one time. I’m just a nerd. That’s all it is.” Simmons also brought up her IQ scores.

Kodak Black Reflects On Past Drug Use & Recovery: Watch

April 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kodak Black’s successful career in hip-hop has been unfortunately marred by a host of legal issues, addiction struggles, and negativity. While some of these include actions that he should be accountable for, he’s also been pretty open about how his substance abuse has affected his life. Following a recent jail stint and a lot of concerned fan expressions, the Florida rapper recently took to Instagram Live to illustrate his journey of recovery. Specifically, he pointed to kicking his Percocet habit as a pivotal factor in being happier than he’s ever been right now, and this is a heartening step in the right direction.

“I remember a point in my life when I was chewing a lot of Percs,” Kodak Black began. “Bro, I’m proud of myself. I’ve never been this happy in my life, bro. I don’t know where this came from, what the f**k going on. I ain’t even going to say I’m anti-Perc. Like, I never took a Perc since I been home. But bro, my dosage so low that I can’t believe it myself. Man, I’m telling y’all, bro.

“Before I just went to jail, bro, I was taking… I can talk about this because it’s my testimony,” Kodak Black continued. “Bro, I’m hollering at y’all, ain’t no shame in my s**t. I was taking, bro, at least 100 Percs. Bro, my average was 40 Percocets. I’m telling y’all this man. I ain’t know -– to the point where I look at this s**t and be like, what the f**k was wrong with me, bruh? I listen to my music and be like, bro, what the f**k, fam?” Afterwards, he greeted some eager fans and prompted them to come forward to kick it with him for a while.

Furthermore, this still hasn’t resulted in the Pistolz & Pearlz artist refraining from some other wild or notably bizarre moments on social media. One recent instance was his threat to “cremate” anyone who messes with streamer Adin Ross. But the most important part is that there seems to be an active effort to improve mentally and physically from the tolls that drugs like Percocet can take, a process that will hopefully yield lifelong fulfillment.

NBA YoungBoy Accused Of Using Drugs On House Arrest

March 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

NBA YoungBoy remains on house arrest as he awaits trial for gun charges, but according to feds, things aren’t going as planned. The Louisiana-born performer is now being accused of violating the terms of his house arrest by using drugs. Earlier this week, the prosecutors filed a request to schedule a hearing to address his “noncompliant behavior.” They allege that he violated a rule forbidding him to “use or unlawfully possess a narcotic drug or other controlled substance.”

“The undersigned has learned that the defendant has violated [this rule] and has informed his supervising officer that he has no intentions to discontinue using the substance that resulted in the violation,” Attorney Ronald C. Gathe, Jr. writes. It’s unclear what substances NBA YoungBoy is accused of using. Allegedly, however, he told supervising officers he has “no intentions” of quitting.

NBA YoungBoy Allegedly Violated House Arrest Terms

This is far from the first time fans have heard of NBA YoungBoy’s alleged drug use. Earlier this month, for example, the rapper sparked concern among supporters after he posted a jarring image of himself on Instagram. In the photo, YB is seen lying down on the floor, appearing intoxicated. He was surrounded by a spilled bottle of pills, as well as a double cup of ice.

“And that’s why I don’t pick up my phone when it ring,” he captioned the worrisome photo. YB also opened up about his substance use on Million Dollaz Worth Of Game late last year, revealing that he had just gotten home from a short stint in rehab. “The image that I got is that I do a lot of drugs,” he explained. “So I kind of get that thrown in my face, like, ‘Oh, this is taking over his mind’ or something like that.” What do you think of NBA YoungBoy being accused of violating the conditions of his house arrest by using drugs? What about him allegedly telling supervising officers that he doesn’t plan on stopping? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Benzino Did Cocaine In A Strip Club Bathroom, Funky Dineva Alleges

October 19, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Recently, Benzino shared that he’s uncomfortable with transgender people. As expected, the controversial comment resulted in some backlash for the 58-year-old, and Funky Dineva was sure to check him. On an episode of Fox Soul’s Tea-G-I-F, the personality opened up about some of his first-hand experiences with the Boston native.

According to Funky Dineva, “Benzino is cool with the gays.” So cool, in fact, that he allegedly did cocaine with him in the bathroom of the Blue Flame Lounge strip club in Atlanta. “I’m finna fix his a*s,” he began. “Now this [was] back in the day, so don’t judge me for my past, because I don’t stay there no more. But we both were down there in that naked bar, snorting that cocaine.”

Funky Dineva Recalls Allegedly Doing Drugs With Benzino

“I’ve hung out with Benzino several times,” he continued. “It was never an issue.” In addition to his drug use allegations, Funky Dineva also claimed that Benzino is being “shady” when it comes to his alleged relationship with Shauna Brooks. Brooks, a trans woman, came forward in 2022, alleging that he had pursued a sexual relationship with her. While Benzino responded by claiming he’s only attracted to cis women, phone calls leaked by Brooks seemed to suggest otherwise.

Benzino then went on a Twitter rant in April, demanding that everyone in the LGBTQ+ community stop hitting on him. “Attention to all in the LGBTQ, abcd!!!” he wrote. “I respect y’all’s movement and your decision to be who you want to be BUT STOP THE WEIRD SH*T WITH THE COMMENTS AND FLIRTING. I’M NOT F*CKING FLATTERED BECAUSE I’M NOT GAY!! RESPECT THAT SH*T AS I RESPECT WHO YOU ARE!!” What do you think of Funky Dineva alleging that he did cocaine in a strip club bathroom with Benzino?

Meek Mill & Rick Ross Open Up About Battles With Substance Abuse

October 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Meek Mill and Rick Ross both discussed their struggles with substance abuse and how they’ve helped each other over the years during a recent sit-down with Apple Music’s Ebro Darden. The interview comes ahead of the release of their upcoming collaborative album, Too Good to Be True.

While discussing their drug and alcohol consumption, Meek admitted that his “stomach was bent over for like a year and a half.” At the time, he ended up dropping down to just 170 pounds. “People wasn’t seeing it though,” he explained. “People would see it or might make a joke about it, and in real life my shit fucked up.” From there, Ross noted that the two “definitely had conversations” about what he had been going through, to which Meek confirmed: “For sure. On both ends.”

Meek then explained how he wouldn’t try to hide his struggles with substance abuse from his friends. “Like how Rozay said, when you walk in the studio, I’m going to have my lean on the table,” he added. “I’m a man of integrity. If I’m doing something I want to do it in front of my friends so my friends can stop me. So I can have somebody pull me to the side. I ain’t going to be doing a drug or doing nothing that I got to hide from my brothers or nothing like that cuz nobody might not be able to pull you to the side and help you.”

Elsewhere, Ross admitted that has to take medication twice a day to combat the damage lean has done to his body. “So me drinking lean at a time and now I’m taking medication two times a day because of this,” Ross said. “And then you walk into a session, you see your little bro. Hey little bro, man we got to take…we got to tighten up on this shit, you know what I’m saying? So it’s a lot of different ways we could have issues back and forth, but you know, we always got the money. You know what I’m saying? It ain’t never been no shit that we ain’t never choke up.”

DJ Drama Reflects On Watching Lil Uzi Vert Get Sober

May 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

DJ Drama says that watching Lil Uzi Vert get sober ahead of the release of The Pink Tape was an “eye-opening” experience. The producer discussed Uzi’s drug use during a new interview with XXL for the publication’s Spring 2023 issue.

“We did have some conversations about that. Me, [Don] Cannon, Lake, and Vert, about that personal journey,” he explained to the outlet. “Obviously, it’s not something outta respect for him I would want to share the insight on how he feels or what it was like for him, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s something that he touches on on the project.”

Drama added: “I’m super proud of him and I’m sure that for him, being able to approach the music from that aspect was eye-opening and something different, something that a mature Uzi, who’s at a different stage in his life and his career, is able to accomplish.”

Uzi first revealed their sobriety during an interview with TMZ back in March. “It was challenging at first. But then after probably after a month, I got used to it,” Uzi explained at the time. “I thought that my creative process wasn’t going to be the same because I wasn’t on drugs no more. It was the same. Even better. Because I could think more clear and I could actually, like, instead of my words slurring, which is kinda cool, everything made sense.” “I didn’t just make random music,” he continued. “How can I say? I didn’t play off the beat. I actually made [a] song with topics this time.”

There is still no official release date for The Pink Tape; however, Uzi has been teasing it since the end of 2020. It will be his first full-length project since Eternal Atake. He also dropped an EP, Red & White, last year.
