French Montana Sparks Dating Rumors With The Princess Of Dubai

October 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

If you only know French Montana casually for his rap career, you might be surprised by some of his curious celebrity connections. They aren’t always a positive surprise in many’s eyes, as he recently caught heat for hanging out with Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law. But the Moroccan-American MC’s most recent famous link-up has a lot of fans thinking that romance could be brewing… A royal one, to be exact. Fans noticed that he’s spent a lot of time recently with Her Highness Shaikha Mahra, the Princess of Dubai. That’s not spicy enough for you? Well, she recently announced her divorce from her husband on Instagram.

Of course, these are just rumors based on some social media pictures and videos floating around of completely friendly and non-romantic interactions, so don’t take them too seriously. But we’d imagine that French Montana might at least be appreciating that people seem a tad more accepting of his circle this time around. When he brought Andrew Tate out at a Romanian festival, fans absolutely cooked him online – if they weren’t deep in the manosphere, that is. So this is at least an upgrade.

With all this in mind, we’ll see if French Montana and Her Highness Shaikha Mahra ever talk about this publicly or if they just continue enjoying whatever bond they have. Elsewhere, he’s finding massive success worthy of royalty in other areas, such as his claim to New York’s most streamed song of all time in the “rap” genre. That’s “Unforgettable” with Swae Lee, a track so massive that this isn’t a very surprising accolade. But hardcore hip-hop fans still squirmed at the idea, as haters are going to hate. Maybe another song will eventually dethrone it, whether a newer hit or a classic.

Meanwhile, French Montana also caused a lot of discussion this year for something that he wasn’t even a part of. Rick Ross claimed that Drake sent French a cease and desist over a feature verse, something that even Gamma’s CEO seemed to confirm. He didn’t really participate in 2024’s great rap war, but it’s curious how this is still a relatively open question within it.

50 Cent Is Buying Gervonta Davis’ Claim That Floyd Mayweather Is Being Held Hostage In Dubai

April 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent says he believes Gervonta Davis’ recent claim that Floyd Mayweather is currently stuck in Dubai because he allegedly owes the wrong people money. He responded to the latest drama between Davis and Mayweather in a post on Instagram, on Saturday, by sharing a series of tweets the fighter recently posted. Davis wrote in part: “They got Floyd ass for real..tell him I’ll send him a wire.. LET MY F*CKING FAMILY GO” as well as, “Let me call 50, we gotta get this n***a home by Monday.”

“Oh nah this sh*t is real. [Davis] would not say no sh*t like that if it wasn’t official. Me and Champ [Mayweather] be beefing but he my brother. I got some money if he need it!” 50 captioned the post. In the comments section, fans were unsure whether 50 was genuine, considering his and Mayweather’s years of beefing.

The drama began when Mayweather shared a video of himself calling out other boxers for not taking the sport seriously enough and reflecting on the journey he took to get to where he is. “A lot of times what these fighters are looking at—they’re looking Floyd with the cars, they’re looking at Floyd being flashy,” Mayweather said. “Man listen, I made so many sacrifices. Y’all are looking at the end results…And [when I was] champion having hundreds of millions in the bank, I still was on my grind in that gym. Y’all are worried about your outfits, how your boots look, worried about the wrong things. A lot of you fighters are living check to check.” Afterward, Davis shared the video with the caption: “Ni**a says all this bullsh*t, but [he’s] in Dubai and can’t leave because he’s been taking ni**as’ money and not doing what they paid him to do. Ni**a a f**king hater.”

Then you come outside the club and swing on your little brother. You’s a b*tch.” The singer also claimed that Songz was made about a woman that Jacquees wasn’t even with at the time.

Fredo Rumored Sentencing In Dubai: What We Know

January 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Throughout his career, the British rap star Fredo has faced several legal issues. However, those incidents typically happened on his home turf, and Fredo has now found himself in trouble in Dubai. Back in 2023, the UK rapper was rumored to be arrested after he was caught in possession of cannabis.

The rapper debuted in 2016 with his now-popular single, “They Ain’t 100.” However, he didn’t get to experience the song blow-up in real time as he was sent to jail. Fortunately for him, he beat the charges and was subsequently released. In 2017, another run-in with the law occurred but he has managed to stay out of prison since. It seems that his successful streak of staying out of trouble has come to an end, unfortunately, as reports claim Fredo has now been sentenced to prison in Dubai. Here’s what we know so far.

What Is Fredo’s Offence?

In late 2023, Fredo was on vacation in Dubai but unfortunately, he soon had a run-in with the law, ending his presumably blissful trip. According to reports from The Sun, authorities found the rapper in possession of cannabis and subsequently arrested him. Dubai has very strict drug laws, so the authorities reportedly wasted no time putting Fredo in jail after the discovery. The Sun reported on October 30, 2023, that he had been in jail awaiting trial since September.

Fredo has been penalized by the authorities for drug use before. In April 2023, he received a three-year driving ban in the UK. He had been speeding while driving. It was eventually discovered that he had used over the legal cannabis limit.

The Sentence

As aforementioned, Fredo is believed to have been in a Dubai jail since September 2023. It’s been speculated since the rumors emerged that the rapper could be sentenced to a few years in prison. Radha Stirling, the CEO of Detained In Dubai, an advocacy organization, gave a brief statement to The Sun, saying, “The most likely outcome for possession of cannabis would be one to two years in prison, it could be up to three years.” Stirling later added that if he were prosecuted with intent to sell or trafficking, Fredo could face upwards of 5 years in prison.

The “I’m Back” rapper’s case was expected to reach court this week, per Clash Magazine. Although on Monday (Jan. 29th) several online reports claimed that he has been sentenced to five years in prison, this has yet to be confirmed. Fredo nor his team have made public statements regarding the case.

Fredo Sentenced To Five Years In Dubai Prison For Drug Possession, Reports Say

January 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

We have some recent breaking news coming from UK rapper Fredo. The London, England will be in prison for five years in Dubai for drug possession. Interestingly, this is not the 29-year-old’s first run-in with the Dubai authorities. About three months ago, Fredo was arrested on similar charges in the United Arab Emirates for cannabis possession. Now, he will be finding himself back in familiar territory with this latest news bomb. For some reason, Fredo cannot keep himself out of trouble.

A couple of months before the weed fiasco, the trap rapper from across the pond also was having legal issues in his hometown. According to NME, authorities in North London handed down a three-year driving ban after speeding. All of that went down in June. These issues are/have been in the midst of him dropping his fourth studio album, Unfinished Business.

This Is Not Fredo’s First Offense In Dubai

The project hit streaming services on August 11 with two features from Eric IV and Tiggs Da Author. Fredo rapped over a lot of dark and cold production and it features some of his biggest songs. Tracks like “My Story,” “Woo,” “Scoreboard,” and “Quarter Past 3,” were some major highlights amongst fans. Hopefully, he can get out of this rut he is in and stay out of trouble.

What are your thoughts on Fredo’s five-year prison sentence in Dubai for drug possession? Is this one of the more boneheaded things a rapper has done this year? Will his sentence remain or change at all, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

Quavo Invites Fan Wearing Young Thug Shirt On Stage In Dubai

December 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Quavo has made headlines as he invited a fan on stage during a concert in Dubai. While not an uncommon occurrence, the fan was notable because he was wearing a Young Thug t-shirt. Quavo appeared on Thug’s album released earlier this year and has repeatedly called for Thug’s release. Quavo celebrated the fan’s shirt before letting him go back into the crowd.

Quavo continues to be seen out and about following his very public split from Cardi B. While they did briefly reunite for Christmas, the pair are very much going separate ways. Things appear to have brewing for a while, but really exploded right before Christmas. “He likes to play games with me. He knows that I’m at my house because he knows I am not doing my most. I’ve been sparing you, b-tch a– n-gga. Your b-tch a– album is sh-t. F-cking doing me d-rty after so many years that I helped your motherf-cking a–. Not even a f-cking thank you,” Cardi said in a tearful livestream.

Quavo Steps Out At Unruly Fest

However, Quavo has been making a wave of big appearances as of late. He made a surprise appearance at Unruly Fest in Jamaica, stepping out with Popcaan for the latter’s set. The crowd was understandably overjoyed to see the former Migos rapper step out. However, not everyone was a fan of the appearance. “American artists always go to Jamaica and dress like it’s Independence Day , but big up unnu self ,” one person said on Instagram.

However, things got a little too unruly at Unruly Fest as the cops pulled the plug on the festival early, citing safety concerns. According to senior police officers, they had let the show run on a hour longer than the festival’s permit. However, Popcaan, who also organizes Unruly Fest, had some harsh words for the cops. In a statement about the abrupt shut down, Popcaan said that things like shut were the reason that St. Thomas “couldn’t do better”.

December 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Rick Ross isn’t a man who’s known to settle into long-term romances. Instead, the “Purple Lamborghini” rapper has had a roster of pretty young things coming in and out of his life throughout his career. Many of the girls who catch Rozay’s eye know that he’s not in it for the long haul, but they don’t mind, so long as they get to reap the benefits of being his short-term lover while they’re ripe for the taking.

His latest relationship is with rising artist Cristina Mackey, who’s been all over his Instagram lately. As they celebrate the holidays together, Ross went all out by flying his partner to Dubai with him and continuing to spoil her after landing in the Middle East. Mackey has also been documenting their adventures together, including exploring the sandy desert, eating and drinking the finest food and alcohol, and inventing a new secret handshake while showing off the city’s stunning views.

Gunna Shows Support For Young Thug During “Hot” Performance In Dubai

December 19, 2023 by newhiphopnews

While Young Thug awaits his RICO trial to resume in the new year, Gunna is exploring the world. It’s been over a year since the Drip Or Drown rapper was released after accepting an Alford Plea. We’ve heard very little from Thug’s corner about his thoughts about his protegé. Still, Gunna has continuously expressed his support for the Slime Season artist. Recently, he took to the stage in Dubai where he performed “fukumean” and several other anthems while declaring “Free Jeffrey.”

Although Gunna came through in support of his latest album, a gift & a curse, he delivered some of his biggest pre-arrest hits. During “Hot,” his collaboration with Young Thug, a massive sign that called for the Punk rapper’s popped up on the screen behind Gunna. It undoubtedly earned plenty of applause from the audience. However, some fans felt a type of way. There’s still the narrative that Gunna ratted on his co-defendant to regain his freedom.

Gunna’s recent performance in Dubai remains one of the few times he’s hit the stage since coming home. Following the release of his latest album, Gunna performed a pair of shows in Los Angeles and New York. Both performances proved that his grip on the culture hasn’t waned. Fans showed out for him, quickly revealing that none of the allegations against him have deterred people from listening to his music. Still, it remains to be seen whether he’ll be touching the stage in Atlanta soon. Perhaps, we’ll have to wait to see how the YSL trial pans out first.

Speaking of the YSL trial, Young Thug’s attorney recently opened a “motion to dismiss” appeal. Ultimately, Thug’s attorney, Brian Steele, followed through with his promise to try and get the case dismissed. The judge previously denied the possibility of dismissing the case. However, if the appeal proves to be successful, we might see Young Thug come home soon. Check out Gunna’s performance in Dubai above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments below.
