November 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rihanna fired back at users on social media upset with her for making a joke about using her son’s US passport to vote on Tuesday. She had shared a picture of herself in a car on Instagram Stories with the caption: “POV: me trying to sneak into the polls with my son’s passport #votecauseicant.” When sharing it again on her main page, she added: “When protecting pussies and firing pussies can happen all in one vote #votecauseicant #TanSuitSeason.”

“Shut up Karen,” she wrote in response to one IG user telling her that “illegal voting is a crime.” To another user, she clapped back: “When yall stop burning ballot boxes come check me.” Replying to another hater, she wrote: “Where were you in Jan 6 sis? Stick to your discounted crotch. We out here fighting for its rights!” As one user attempted to downplay the importance of abortion access, she retorted: “You’re f*cked! And so is the America you dream of. Hope you don’t have to find out the hard way,”

Rihanna is far from the first celebrity to endorse Kamala Harris in recent days. Cardi B made headlines for speaking about her support of the Vice President during a rally in Milwaukee. That move came after she previously refused to endorse the Democratic candidate when Joe Biden was still in the race, a decision she explained at the rally. Other celebrities to endorse Harris include Beyoncé, Bruce Springsteen, Eminem, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and many more.

Cardi B Admits She’s “So Nervous” For Election Day Results

November 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cardi B says she’s “so nervous” for election day as Vice President Kamala Harris takes on former President Donald Trump. Taking to her X (formerly Twitter) page on Monday night, she wrote: “I don’t know why I’m so nervous for tomorrow… I feel like I’m running for president.” The post comes after she endorsed Harris during a recent rally in Milwaukee.

Cardi’s replies section is loaded with Donald Trump supporters baselessly alleging that she’ll be headed to jail if their candidate wins the election. Others praised her for supporting Harris and caring about the outcome so deeply. “It’s because you care. It’s a beautiful thing to care so much for your country you worry for it,” one fan wrote.

Cardi previously refused to endorse the Democratic candidate when Joe Biden was still in the race, but changed her tune in Wisconsin, last Friday. “I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole life,” Cardi said at Harris’ rally in the state. “I do not take lightly the call to show up, the call to speak up, the call to deliver a message that’s been on my heart a hot minute now.” She continued: “Just like Kamala Harris, I too have been the underdog, I’ve been underestimated, my success belittled and discredited. Let me tell you something: Women have to work ten times harder, perform ten times better, and still people question us, how we got to the top. I can’t stand a bully, but just like Kamala, I always stand up to one.”

Azealia Banks Goes Off On Cardi B’s “Eye-Gougingly Cringe” Kamala Harris Endorsement

November 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Azealia Banks went off on Cardi B for her “eye gougingly cringe” endorsement of Kamala Harris in Wisconsin, last week. Taking to X (formerly Twitter), over the weekend, Banks criticized the Invasion of Privacy rapper while also sending some stray shots at Nicki Minaj.

“Cardi HAS to stop doing that stupid latina shtick she does cause it’s forced and not real,” Banks wrote. “Sis is from 158th n Broadway. She’s a Washington heights Mami at the core. Dominican women intelligent as hell, the shtick is a WILD misrepresentation. She’s not even a true throrough bred Bronx rat like she acts like. She moved there at 14. One thing her and Nicki share is secret super intelligence masked by ridiculous chickenhead antics. They are both SUPER smart and well spoken but act r*tarded to seem relatable. They deserve each other’s friendship tbh. Just pull a ladies night 2025 alreadyyyy.”

From there, Banks took more shots at Nicki Minaj as well: “Because they both really act like these dirtbag women they f*cking aren’t. I’d bet $1,000 cardi b’s story about drugging and stealing from men was a lie. Just like nicki’s story about selling Crack was a f*cking lie lmaoo. Nicki went to F. H. LaGuardia. Us LaGuardia girls literally are compleeeeeeeeete f*cking NERDS. We’re way too uppity and dedicated to art to sell Crack lmaoooo. Like get f*cking real.”

Swing State Controversies Amid the End of the 2024 Election Campaigns

November 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

2024 Elections Where both candidates stand on the major issues

The 2024 U.S. presidential election has boiled down to several swing states again in the spotlight. Historically, states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Georgia, and Arizona have played a key role in determining election outcomes. This year, we live in a charged environment where every vote is under scrutiny.

One major point of discussion has been the restriction of mail-in voting policies. Following the 2020 election, many swing states revised their voting laws to restrict mail-in and early voting options. In Georgia and Arizona, legislators enacted stricter regulations, arguing that these new measures would minimize potential fraud. Since enactment, these laws have been challenged in court by advocacy groups who claim they disproportionately affect minority and low-income voters.

Another area of dispute revolves around the certification of election results. In several swing states, election officials have been pressured to delay result certification if the outcome is close. This is particularly significant in states where narrow margins of victory could trigger recounts or additional legal scrutiny. In Pennsylvania, for example, lawsuits have already been filed challenging the counting process, fueling the partisan debate.

Social media has also amplified these controversies, as misinformation and targeted campaigns have influenced voters’ perceptions of the election process. Various fact-checking organizations have ramped up efforts to counter false claims but with varying levels of success.

With voter confidence at stake, the integrity of the election in swing states will continue to be a focal point for both parties and the public as we count down the election’s final days.

Elon Musk Tries To Tie Kamala Harris To Diddy In Latest Jab On Twitter

November 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Elon Musk called out Kamala Harris on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday afternoon, accusing her of accepting endorsements from celebrities who have attended Diddy’s parties. The remark comes after authorities arrested the Bad Boy mogul on charges of alleged sex trafficking and racketeering, last month. In their indictment, prosecutors accused him of allegedly hosting “freak off” parties where he allegedly used violence and intimidation to make victims perform elaborate sex acts. He’s repeatedly denied all of the allegations.

In response to a report from the New York Post about early voting turnout, Musk wrote on his social media site: “No amount of Diddy party ‘celebrity’ endorsements can save Kamala.” The remark comes after he went back and forth with Cardi B, who had just recently endorsed Harris. The current Vice President also recently received support from Beyonce, Usher, Lizzo, and more artists.

Elon Musk has been supporting Donald Trump vehemently in recent months, even speaking at his campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. “As you can see I am not just MAGA — I am Dark MAGA,” he made headlines for saying at the event. Even before that, he faced tons of backlash for his response to Taylor Swift endorsing Kamala Harris, which she did while signing off on Instagram as a “childless cat lady,” a reference to J.D. Vance. Reacting to that post on X, Musk wrote: “Fine Taylor … you win … I will give you a child and guard your cats with my life.”

50 Cent Claims He Refused $3 Million To Perform At Donald Trump’s Controversial New York Rally

October 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent says he turned down a $3 million offer to perform at Donald Trump’s latest rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City. He explained his decision not to endorse the former president during an appearance on The Breakfast Club on Tuesday morning. The interview comes with just seven days until the 2024 election.

“I got a call, but they wanted me [for] Sunday,” 50 revealed, before eventually adding, “They offered $3 million.” Despite listening to the offer, 50 says the talks didn’t go very far. “I didn’t even go far… I didn’t talk to them about that kinda stuff. I’m afraid about politics. You understand? I do not like no part about them,” he said.

From there, he explained his decision-making while bringing up Kanye West as an example. “It’s because when you do get involved in it, no matter how you feel, some one passionately disagrees with you. That’s the formula for the confusion that sent Kanye to Japan,” he said. “He said something about both of those things — and now he can only go to Japan.” The controversial rapper has been hosting Vultures listening events overseas for months.

Check out 50’s full comments on why he didn’t perform at Sunday’s rally at Madison Square Garden below. Without 50 Cent, the event still went on with some celebrity appearances.

REFORM Alliance Highlights Justice Reform as Key Issue for Gen Z Voters

October 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Philadelphia 76ers Managing Partner Josh Harris Makes a Six-figure Donation to Reform Alliance To Support Probation and Parole Reform Work

With the 2024 election fast approaching, new poll data from REFORM is shedding light on the voting attitudes and behavior of Gen Z adults, revealing a strong demand for criminal justice reform. According to the data, criminal justice reform is a critical issue for young voters. Still, neither of the major presidential candidates has fully addressed it in a way that resonates with this group.

The poll, conducted by The Bullfinch Group, surveyed 1,000 Gen Z adults between 18 and 28. It found that 72% of respondents consider it important for their elected officials to support criminal justice reform, compared to only 15% who don’t—demonstrating a fivefold difference. The data also showed that 70% of Gen Z voters believe reforming the criminal justice and supervision systems should be a priority for candidates running for office.

Gen Z is the most racially and ethnically diverse voting bloc in U.S. history, with 40 million expected to vote in 2024, many for the first time. The poll highlights a significant opportunity for candidates to win over these voters by prioritizing reform policies. For instance, 64% of respondents said they would be more likely to support a candidate advocating for modernizing the criminal justice system, particularly around probation and parole reforms, such as the Safer Supervision Act.

In addition to the poll, REFORM is launching the Future Shapers Network, an expansion of its Gen Z council to boost youth activism and voter engagement in key battleground states. Public figures like Grammy-winning artist Lil Baby and NFL quarterback CJ Stroud are backing the initiative, lending their support to these critical efforts.

The data also indicates a significant portion of undecided voters, presenting an opportunity for candidates to sway this key demographic with targeted messaging and education on reform issues. As the election nears, the pressure is mounting on both major candidates to address this issue to gain the support of Gen Z voters.

Poll results and further details about the launch of the Future Shapers Network will be released later this week.

Police Arrest Man With Guns And A High Capacity Magazine Outside Donald Trump Rally In California

October 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Authorities in Coachella Valley, California seemingly thwarted another assassination attempt on Donald Trump after arresting a man allegedly found to be carrying multiple guns and a high-capacity magazine outside of his rally over the weekend. They charged him with possession of a loaded firearm and possession of a high-capacity magazine.

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco discussed the arrest at a press conference on Sunday. “The way it worked yesterday is only people that were allowed inside the perimeter, the outside perimeter, inside a vehicle was if you lived there or if you had documentation that said you were going to this rally,” Bianco said, as noted by CBS. He further explained that Miller “gave all indications that he belonged there,” but authorities noticed his car was in disarray. They searched his vehicle and found him to be “illegally in possession of a shotgun, a loaded handgun, and a high-capacity magazine.”

He further described Miller as a “lunatic” and an alleged member of Sovereign Citizens. “They are certainly considered a far-right group,” Bianco said of the organization. “I wouldn’t say it’s a militant group. It’s just a group that doesn’t believe in government and government control.” He added that he believes Miller intended to commit an assassination attempt on the former president.

As for whether he will face federal charges, the United States Attorney’s Office said in a statement caught by CBS: “The U.S. Secret Service assesses that the incident did not impact protective operations and former President Trump was not in any danger. While no federal arrest has been made at this time, the investigation is ongoing.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Donald Trump and the 2024 Presidential Election on HotNewHipHop.

DL Hughley Clowns Janet Jackson For Conspiratorial Take On Kamala Harris

September 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DL Hughley went after Janet Jackson on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday after the iconic singer made headlines for claiming that Vice President Kamala Harris isn’t Black. Trolling her for the conspiratorial take, Hughley jokingly accused Jackson of “breathing through the nose of a white woman.”

“JanetJacksons interview sounded like a #Trump rally! FYI!! It’s a little ironic to question whether someone is black while you’re breathing through the nose of a white woman! #TeamDl,” he wrote in one post. Following it up, he added: “KamalaHarris looks the way she does cuz she has mom from India and a dad from Jamaica! #JanetJackson looks the way she does cuz she has a plastic surgeon! #TeamDl,” as well as “All I know is #Kamala looks like she did when she was in Oakland! But Janet don’t look like she did when she was Penny! What the hell was in that iron??”

Jackson had been speaking with The Guardian for an interview published on Saturday when she spread the disinformation. “‘Well, you know what they supposedly said?’” Jackson told the news outlet. “‘She’s not Black. That’s what I heard. That she’s Indian.’” When The Guardian explained that Harris is both Black and Indian, Jackson countered: “Her father’s white. That’s what I was told. I mean, I haven’t watched the news in a few days. I was told that they discovered her father was white.”
