I am a firm believer in the concept of paying it forward and spreading kindness wherever I go.” – Dwight Howard

November 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Dwight Howard is someone who has been having some issues as of late. Overall, a lot of this stems from the fact that he was accused of sexual assault. He is currently in a lawsuit over these claims, and many are confused as to what really went down. However, Howard has maintained his innocence and claims he did nothing wrong. Moreover, he was recently rejected from the Golden State Warriors, which was a blow to his chances of an NBA comeback.

Having said all of that, Howard has been looking to engage with his audience on social media. His live streams on Instagram and on TikTok have been interesting, to say the least. Sometimes, he will go on weird tangents, and no one knows where he is trying to lead people. In his latest TikTok Live, that is exactly what he did.

Shyneka + Shawty Shawty hosted on the Mic, while taking photos and giving each person a Turkey in hand. Atlanta Slingshot Community + Torrey 100 came through in their most decorated low riders and lit up the parking lot. The Gorilla Game Bus kept people interactive with a few games to choose from while they waited and it was all smiles.

Dwight Howard Wanted To Be Polyamorous, Royce Reed Claims

November 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In the latest part of her extensive interview with Carlos King, Royce Reed repeated claims she made earlier this year that she rejected demands from Dwight Howard to become polyamorous. Reed revealed that Howard had come to her on numerous occasions to express a desire for him to see other women and for them to have experiences with other women. However, Reed says that she shut down the topic every time it was raised.

Of course, it’s not the first time that Reed has brought up Howard in the interview. In a previous part, Reed painted a scathing picture of indifference on the part of Howard towards her pregnancy. As Reed tells it, Howard tried to ditch her as soon as she told him she was pregnant. Howard allegedly tried to get her to sign an NDA while also demanding that she not put his name on the birth certificate or the baby registry.

Reed Repeats Claims Of Polyamory

Furthermore, as mentioned, this is not the first time that Reed has alleged that Howard wanted to pursue polyamory. “This man is evil. Y’all fall for it every time. Ask him why he’s telling a 12yo he’s gay bcuz he hadn’t “touched anything” or watching porn with them? Better yet, why it took 4.5 years to fire the nanny that molested 2 of his kids. I got time today. He took this little boy from this grandmother that raised him and kept her in court for 2yrs only to give him to his parents while he was overseas. GTFOHWTBS. So while y’all constantly out here pointing fingers at me, understand there’s a reason why!” Reed wrote on Instagram in July. She also claimed that Howard had asked her to be the “matriarch” of his “polyamory quest”, something she refused to do. Furthermore, she finished her posting with the claim “I have videos and texts. I keep everything.”

Reed’s new bombshell interview, which also took aim at Shaq , comes amid mounting legal issues for Howard. Howard has been accused of sexually assaulting a man at his home. Howard has formally denied sexually assaulting model Stephen Harper. However, he did not deny inviting Harper to his home for a threesome, which allegedly involved a cross-dresser named Kitty. Furthermore, Harper alleges that he was forced to perform sexual acts on Howard and that Howard performed non-consensual acts on him after he objected to participating in the account. Howard has been sued by Harper but has not been formally charged with a crime.

Royce Reed Reflects On Evelyn Lozada Fight, Relationship With Dwight Howard

November 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Royce Reed was coming for everyone during her recent interview with Carlos King. After calling out Shaq, she reflected on her infamous fight with Evelyn Lozada on Basketball Wives. Reed couldn’t care less about Lozada and was unclear why she was having to show a scene with the ex of Antonie Walker. When Lozada began to throw insults, Reed said she just casually parried them one after another until Lozada three the glass at her. “After that, the only thing that went through my head was ‘nose, neck, side of the head’,” Reed explained, referring to the commonly cited points of attack in a self-defense situation.

Elsewhere in the interview, Reed spoke on her relationship with her baby daddy, Dwight Howard. She painted a scathing picture of indifference on the part of Howard to her pregnancy. As Reed tells it, Howard tried to ditch her as soon as she told him she was pregnant. Howard allegedly tried to get her to sign an NDA while also demanding that she not put his name on the birth certificate or the baby registry.

Reed’s comments came after Howard posted videos of him working out with his children in his home gym. “Not someone PRETENDING to be a parent 1 day out 365 for the cameras. Don’t make Thursdays turn into Truth Thursday.” Additionally, The Shade Room reported that new court documents had revealed that while living Howard, her underaged son allegedly engaged in “inappropriate conduct with a minor.” However, despite happening under Howard’s supervision, the incident lead to a child neglect charge for Reed. Furthermore, Reed claimed that Howard had sued her and the other mothers of his children over child support.

50 Cent & Dwight Howard Feud After Rapper Takes Shots At NBA Star Amid Legal Issues

November 5, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The world of NBA basketball isn’t the only pop culture sphere that got shook up by Dwight Howard’s sexual assault accusations. For those unaware, a man named Stephen Harper claimed that he forced him into a threesome with another man with a cross-dressing, full-bearded male referred to as Kitty, and that he assaulted him. While the star athlete denied all accusations, saying that they only engaged in “consensual kissing,” people continue to take shots at this horrible alleged act. For example, 50 Cent recently reposted a picture of him, Denzel Washington, and Top Dawg Entertainment boss Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffifth courtside at a Lakers game. Since the picture featured Howard towering over them, this is what the rapper used to take aim at him.

“@dangerookipawaa [Top Dawg’s Instagram handle] gonna say you made eye contact with Dwight Howard,” 50 Cent’s post’s caption read. “Man me and Denzel thought that motherf***er was alright man. WTF.” Then, Howard actually responded to Fif’s jabs in the comments section of his post. “Glad I put a smile on your face,” he added with a laughing emoji. It’s unclear how much of this is legitimate beef and how much of it is just trolling or making light of the situation, but from the looks of it, neither side is too happy with the other.

Meanwhile, this is the statement from Dwight Howard’s team to AllHipHop concerning the allegations that 50 Cent referred to. “This is a civil case that was made public for profit,” it posits. “In this case, the accuser is solely suing Dwight Howard and has refrained from suing the other party in which he claims to be involved. It is important to know that these matters were never about sexual assault. This was merely about money and greed. Such individuals, have made continuous attempts to elicit payment from Dwight. This has resulted in intimidation of not only Dwight, his family and friends have also been targeted as well. The accuser took to social media, only after being ignored by Howard.

“Over the duration of several years the accuser has set out to hire attorneys. [They] either declined the case or dropped the case after payment from Dwight was denied,” it continues. “Dwight hopes that people spend as much time covering his innocence, his numerous ventures to improve the lives of people through his global initiatives, his efforts to improve the quality of life of all people, despite race, creed, culture, sex, sexual orientation, and others.” For more news on Dwight Howard and the latest updates on 50 Cent, stay up to date on HNHH.

Dwight Howard Steps Out For Halloween Amidst Allegations

November 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Dwight Howard remains publicly unconcerned about the sexual assault allegations against him. Howard appeared at a Halloween function this week, dressed as Sho’Nuff from The Last Dragon. “Why they mad cause God chose me ? 🫨,” Howard captioned the image on Instagram. However, the image, especially when reposted by outlets such as The Neighborhood Talk, was widely met with mockery. “I think they hate you because you allegedly sexually assaulted someone,” one person argued. Despite this, many of the comments on Howard’s original post were ones of support for the former NBA star.

Howard has been accused of sexually assaulting a man at his home. Howard has formally denied sexually assaulting model Stephen Harper. However, he did not deny inviting Harper to his home for a threesome, which allegedly involved a cross-dresser named Kitty. Furthermore, Harper alleges that he was forced to perform sexual acts on Howard and that Howard performed non-consensual acts on him after he objected to participating in the account. Howard has been sued by Harper but has not been formally charged with a crime.

However, despite his nonchalance, more and more people have come forward to corroborate the pattern of behavior that seemingly led to the alleged assault. “He goes to sex parties and preys on younger men, which is why he originally why he threatened, forced, and tried to intimidate me into signing a NDA,” influencer and author Masin Elije wrote on social media. Furthermore, Elije claimed that they had also been harassed by “Kitty” in 2018, the same cross-dresser that Howard used in an attempted threesome with model Stephen Harper.

Meanwhile, back in July, Howard’s ex Royce Reed spoke on her experiences with the former player. “This man is evil. Y’all fall for it every time. Ask him why he’s telling a 12yo he’s gay bcuz he hadn’t “touched anything” or watching porn with them? Better yet, why it took 4.5 years to fire the nanny that molested 2 of his kids.

Boosie Badazz Wants More Info on Dwight Howard’s Love Life: ‘Confess to the Press’

October 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Boosie Badazz Says 6ix9ine 'Manned It Out' During Gym Beating

Boosie Badazz wants Dwight Howard to provide all the details of his intimate life. Reuniting with DJ Vlad, Boosie stated Howard needs to come clean about everything.

“He probably would make more money than he is making,” Boosie said. “Especially for someone who was that physical at one time. I would tell him to confess to the press. Stop playing, real shit.”

You can hear all of Boosie’s reasoning below.

Dwight Howard’s lawyer is speaking out on behalf of his client, facin a lawsuit over sexual assault. According to the lawyer, Howard engaged in “a private consensual encounter,” which is now being “made public for profit.”

“The truth is Mr. Howard blocked Mr. Harper on social media and then was confronted with two options—pay to protect his reputation or have a fabricated story made public,” Howard’s attorney Justin Bailey said to ESPN.

Dwight Howard has revealed that he did meet up with a man he met on Instagram but did not sexually assault him. Radar Online obtained court docs, revealing the legendary big man first connected with his accuser, Stephen Harper, in May 2021.

Harper connected with Howard on Instagram, exchanging phone numbers and eventually explicitly images and text messages. The court docs revealed Howard admitted to “consensual kissing,” leading to a man dressed as a woman emerging under the name Kitty.

Kitty was brought in for a threesome, which Harper denied due to being uncomfortable. Howard would then touch Harper’s “penis through his underwear.” Harper says he asked for Howard to stop, but the All-Star center refused and would do what he wanted and Harper was “going to like it.”

The lawsuit reads Howard “grabbed Mr. Harper by the thighs, forcibly removed Mr. Harper’s underwear, held Mr. Harper down, and performed nonconsensual oral sex on Mr. Harper.” Howard stopped when Harper did not enjoy it. Harper states he was forced into performing oral sex and then driven home by Kitty.

Howard stated Kitty was present, but all activity was consensual.

Boosie Badazz Urges Dwight Howard To Give More Details On His Sexuality

October 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In a recent VladTV interview, Boosie delved into the contentious legal battle surrounding former NBA star Dwight Howard. Boosie is not one to shy away from conversations about homosexuality in particular. In fact, he’s one of hip-hop’s biggest advocates against it. As HNHH previously reported, Boosie Badazz was facing backlash yet again, for comments he made just a couple weeks ago. That time for expressing his views on the LGBTQ community and emphasizing his determination to ensure that his sons do not identify with it. He has been vocal about his stance, going as far as disclosing that he turned down a $250,000 offer to perform at an LGBTQ community event.

However, it seems that now Boosie has more to say. Regarding his thoughts on Dwight Howard specifically. For context, a gay man had filed a lawsuit against Howard, alleging a non-consensual encounter that occurred during a visit to Howard’s residence. Reportedly, an unexpected trans woman also became involved. The conversation that unfolded between Vlad and Boosie raised intriguing questions about celebrity privacy and the shifting societal norms that now influence public figures’ personal lives. Dwight Howard, a renowned basketball player, has graced the headlines not just for his athleticism but also for his ongoing legal woes.

Boosie Gets Candid With Vlad

The lawsuit and recent allegations against Howard have ignited several convos on social media, with many curious about the dynamics of his personal life. Since then, Howard has told people to stay out of his business. Vlad and Boosie began by considering why Howard might be hesitant to openly discuss his sexuality and the possible parallels with openly gay artist Lil Nas X. The comparison between Howard and Lil Nas X is undeniably interesting. Both are prominent figures, but they stand on opposing sides of the spectrum regarding their sexual orientation. Lil Nas X’s decision to publicly embrace his identity as a gay artist has been widely celebrated, signifying a significant shift in societal norms and acceptance.

On the other hand, Howard’s situation, marked by a lawsuit and alleged non-consensual involvement, seems to underscore the difficulty some public figures face when navigating their personal lives in the public eye. The conversation between Vlad and Boosie delved into the implications of these evolving societal norms on celebrities and their personal lives. During the interview, Boosie said that Dwight should just outright come out and “confess.” “I would tell him, confess to the press,” Boosie said. “Stop playing. Real sh**, you like d**k, then you like d**k! Confess to the press. This ain’t 1990. You not gonna be banned from social s**t. He don’t wanna face the backlash.” Let us know your thoughts on HNHH.
