Eddie Murphy & Martin Lawrence Will Now Be In-Laws After Kids’ Engagement

December 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence are two legendary entertainers who have crossed paths quite often, but they will now be closer than ever. Moreover, Murphy’s son Eric just proposed to Lawrence’s daughter Jasmin, and following their engagement, the two comedy stars will now be in-laws. “We’re engaged!! God truly blessed us with a love that feels like destiny. We couldn’t be more excited for this next chapter,” Eric Murphy and Jasmin Lawrence captioned an Instagram post announcing their engagement. The two started dating back in 2021, and their parents have had a lot to say about their relationship and its development.

“That’s not how it goes,” Eddie Murphy joked in response to Martin Lawrence saying that Murphy should cover their kids’ wedding costs, which was certainly not his idea. “My daughter just got married, and I had to pay — really had to pay. You have to do the same, Martin. Don’t try to switch it up — don’t try to change no s**t, do no Hollywood switch. You’re paying for the wedding. If it goes down, Martin is paying. And the wedding better be wonderful.”

“They’re both beautiful; they look amazing together,” Eddie Murphy had also expressed concerning the relationship between his son and Martin Lawrence’s daughter. “If they ever get married and have a child, I am expecting the child to be funny.” Considering that Eric and Jasmin come from a pretty legendary comedic legacy, then we would also expect the same of their child. But let’s not box the little one in just yet or limit how Eric and Jasmin feel, for that matter. This is a very exciting time for everyone involved, and the future will hold so many more special moments.

Meanwhile, while Eddie Murphy might make a return to the Shrek series, Martin Lawrence recently revealed his GOAT rapper. “I would have to say Snoop Dogg for me,” he shared during his appearance alongside Will Smith on the “GOAT TALK” YouTube series from Complex. “Because Snoop’s always come through for me. He’s done my show and has always been excellent. And he’s a good friend of mine.” Congrats to Eric and Jasmin!

Jonathan Majors & Meagan Good Shock Fans With Engagement Announcement

November 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good got into a relationship in the midst of the former’s legal troubles. Overall, Majors was forced to stand trial in an assault case stemming from an alleged incident with his former girlfriend. Although Majors did not win the case entirely, he has been able to get through this hard part in his career thanks to Good’s support. She has been by his side through thick and thin, and he has always shown appreciation for what she has done.

However, over the past week or so, there have been all sorts of rumors about a breakup between the two. Some have proclaimed that Majors and Good had broken up and that it was all over. These rumors came following reports that Good was paying all of Majors’ bills and expenses. Subsequently, a representative for the couple came out and confirmed that they are both doing just fine, and that there is absolutely nothing to worry about here. The reps’ words were ultimately confirmed last night at the Ebony Power 100 Gala, where Jonathan Majors and Meagan Good announced that they are engaged.

This is obviously a massive step in their relationship, and one that many fans probably were not expecting. However, it does make sense that Majors would want to make this move, especially if Good is holding him down in all aspects of life. The two have been completely inseparable over this past year, and there is no doubt that their relationship is burning bright.

As for what’s next for Majors, no one really knows. Following his exit from Marvel and all of its properties, Majors has not been able to find additional work. Once you find yourself blackballed, it is difficult to get out of that status. Although perhaps in time, Hollywood will slowly let him back in. At this point, anything can happen. However, it does seem very clear that Majors is eager to try and continue his career, by any means necessary.

Vybz Kartel Proposes To Girlfriend After Getting Engaged In Prison

November 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Vybz Kartel was sentenced to life in prison in 2014. The dancehall legend was looking at spending the rest of his days behind bars, and yet, he got engaged. He proposed to Sidem Öztürk while still locked up. Now that his sentence has been overturned, however, and he is a free man, Vybz Kartel decided to do it the right way. The Jamaican deejay posted a heartfelt video to Instagram on November 4. He decided to surprise Öztürk with an official engagement ring and a proper, down on one knee proposal. She loved it.

Vybz Kartel can be seen flashing the engagement ring to the camera before walking into a hotel room and getting on one knee. Öztürk seemed genuinely shocked by the proposal, and the two share some very romantic on camera. Vybz Kartel decided to share some more information regarding the proposal courtesy of his IG caption. “You were there when I needed you most and I’ll never leave you baby,” the musical icon stated. “I cherish all the times you came to visit me and told me that it’s going to be ok. I cherish all the times we spoke on the phone and in real life in the box.”

Vybz Kartel also confirmed that he has now proposed to his fiancee in prison and in real life. “We laughed together we cried together and now we celebrate together,” the artist added. “You’re my best friend and my companion and I pray to God we stay together for as long as I Live. I love you.” Vybz Kartel and Sidem Öztürk linked up for the first time in 2015. The former claimed that Öztürk found him by “stalking” the IG account of his baby mama’s account. She was, evidently, committed to tracking down the so-called man of her dreams.

Öztürk provided additional context during an August interview with OnStage. She claimed that she was an enormous fan of Kartel’s music, and she just found herself drawn to him. “I found him very handsome so you can kind of call it an obsession,” she admitted. “I thought he was the most perfect man for me and walking the Earth, so I just really wanted to meet him and get to know him.” Well, Öztürk’s feeling proved to be correct. The two have been together for a shade under a decade, and are now happily engaged.

SZA Gets Candid About Her Latest Breakup, Ex-Fiancé & More On “Hot Ones”

September 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Recently, SZA appeared on First We Feast’s Hot Ones, where she opened up about her career, personal life, and more. She did all this while dressed up as a bug, telling host Sean Evans that she’s “just tired of being not a bug.” During the interview, the songstress was asked which songs were the most emotional for her to perform, which prompted her to make some revelations about her love life.

“‘Nobody Gets Me’ because my ex-fiancé hates me so much, and it’s so unfortunate,” she explained. “Every time I sing it, it’s like, ‘Damn, what the f*ck?’” SZA continued, adding that “Normal Girl,” “20 Something,” and “Drew Barrymore” are also emotional, comparing the latter to the feeling of seeing “the boy you like … f*ckin’ on some other girl” at a party.

SZA Talks Dating On Hot Ones

Elsewhere in the interview, SZA was asked to give viewers an update on what’s been going on in her life. “I’m going through a breakup, it’s hot as f*ck,” she revealed. The Grammy winner didn’t share much more than that about the current state of her dating life, though she did compare her career to a toxic relationship. According to her, the music industry has been tough to navigate, as it can be so unpredictable. She recalled being annoyed by the success of her track “Kill Bill,” as she found it “super easy” to write. “I never know what’s happening,” she described. “I be like, ‘I thought you liked this.’ Then they’re like, ‘No, st*pid, we hate this.’”

“It’s abusive, but it’s also very fulfilling and validating,” SZA added. “The toxic [relationships] are the most fun.” What do you think of SZA revealing that her former fiancé “hates” her on Hot Ones? What about her list of the most emotional songs to perform? Did it surprise you or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Ashanti Flexes The Ring Nelly Gave Her, Reveals How He Proposed

June 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ashanti recently detailed how Nelly proposed to her, revealing that she was “completely” shocked by the way he chose to do so. She discussed their engagement during an interview with Entertainment Tonight on Tuesday. The two artists reconciled in 2021, nearly a decade after they initially parted ways.

“Never in a million years did I think we would be here,” she said during the interview. “Ten years ago — maybe yes — but after our breakup, you know, I didn’t even think we’d ever have a conversation again. I guess when you go through a breakup, for me personally, I kind of just shut that person out… It’s kinda like, OK, that chapter is closed and you just move on, you know, and there’s nothing there.”

Countless fans are expressing confusion over the proposal, arguing that it wasn’t too long ago that she was chatting about her ex, Lil Scrappy. “Wasn’t she just kicking it with scrappy or something not too long ago,” one commenter asks in The Neighborhood Talk‘s comments section. “Wasn’t she just posting scrappy in December??” another also wonders. It was just last month that Diamond aired Scrappy out on Instagram, dropping alleged texts from him after he declared he was “single.”

In one of the messages, which appeared to be sent by Scrappy on Christmas, he allegedly tells her he loves her and has a gift for her. “I love you enjoy your life. Be happy and love on your son,” he seemingly wrote at the time. “This is why I left you 10 years and never looked back cuz of the sh*t you doing now,” she later fired back.
