Snoop Dogg Wants To Launch The “Hood Olympics”

September 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Snoop Dogg was a major part of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, and recently, he revealed that he wants to start working on some games of his own. During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, he explained that he’d be interested in starting what he calls the “Hood Olympics.” He says his goal would be to highlight athletes who didn’t make it to the Olympics for whatever reason, but still have an impressive amount of talent.

“One thing I wanna do is have the Hood Olympics,” he told the outlet. “There’s a lot of homies from the hood that could run a 10.2, that could high jump, throw the javelin, backflip, swim good, jump over gates and hurdle. You know what I’m saying?”

“I just wanna make it available for the athletes from the hood that didn’t make it, that probably have certain ramifications, but they still were athletic and they still were good,” he continued. “So, I want to bring that component in and, hopefully, we’ll be able to make it make sense.” While it remains unclear whether or not Snoop Dogg’s plan will actually play out, it’s safe to say that fans would tune in.

After all, Olympic viewership rose by 79% this year thanks to Snoop, proving that he draws a major crowd. He’s also rumored to have earned a whopping $500K daily for his presence at the Olympic games in Paris. What do you think of Snoop Dogg revealing that he’s interested in starting the “Hood Olympics”?

Amber Rose Addresses Her “Date” With Chris Rock

April 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Back in December, Amber Rose and Chris Rock were spotted grabbing a coffee together in New York City, sparking speculation that the two of them might be more than friends. According to her, however, their relationship is purely platonic, and rumors that they’re an item simply aren’t true. During a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, the model addressed the rumors and noted that the narratives fans can come up with motivate her to keep her friendships a secret.

“It was not a date,” she began. “I’m not a very open person with my friendships… I don’t post a lot on social media. I like to keep my friendships very private.” Amber Rose went on to reveal that she’s been friends with Rock “for like 13 years,” sharing that they knew each other “from a long time ago.”

Amber Rose & Chris Rock Are Just Friends, She Claims

“I was in New York, and I’m like, ‘Yo! Let’s go meet for coffee.’ We met for coffee, we talked some crap to each other, [and] he made me laugh ’cause he’s hilarious,” she also added. “Probably why I never posted like ‘Hey me and Chris Rock are getting coffee’ because I just didn’t want that narrative. I’m gonna value my friendship and just leave it at that. And then paparazzi caught us but we were not holding hands and we were obviously very separate and it just becomes very unfair sometimes.”

While she didn’t say specifically what the two of them discussed on their coffee run, Amber Rose claims that she often “[gives] him relationship advice,” and tips on “what women like.” What do you think of Amber Rose clearing up the rumors that she and Chris Rock are dating? Are you surprised that the two of them are just friends or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Nick Cannon’s Bro Lost Track Of Nick’s Kids, Uses Google

August 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Nick Cannon’s younger brother, Gabriel, claims he also struggles to remember all of Nick’s 12 children. Gabriel was recently crowned the second-season winner of ABC’s Claim To Fame competition series. During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, he opened up about his winning strategy and his brother’s ever-growing family. Despite his best efforts, Gabriel has trouble remembering all his nieces and nephews, he said.

Similarly, a few months back, during a Howard Stern interview, the Wild n’ Out creator struggled to name all his children:”…Did y’all see what happened with him? He messed up [naming] all his kids, so I’m not even gonna attempt. I’m just uncle,” he told the outlet. He also admitted that to help him keep track of them all, he either keeps a note or uses Google. “They’re all on the internet,” he says.

Gabriel Also Opened Up About Being In Nick Cannon’s Shadow

In regards to his strategy, he admitted that not looking like Nick helped. “My strategy going in pretending I was related to an athlete was mainly because of my stature,” Gabriel said. “Like I said in one of the earlier episodes, I was happy this time that I didn’t look like Nick. Trying to get in the club, it’s a little hard.” In the series, 12 celebrity relatives move in under one roof and try to conceal their identity and who they’re related to for a $100,000 prize.

Gabriel also opened up about how being in his brother’s shadow prepared him for his television debut. “I had a front row seat to the entertainment industry just watching Nick. I was a guy shooting behind the scenes for him, when he pulled up on set, I gotta get it with a camera, when he leaves, I gotta get him pulling off, and, you know, always had a backpack full of my own scripts and ideas. But it was always about big bro and helping build windows in his castle,” he said. He continued: “For the last few years I’ve been in the community working. Before that I was signed to Death Jam in a group called Rydaz n Rtist…”

NSYNC Might Be Teaming Up With Justin Timberlake For Their First Song In 20 Years

August 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Legendary pop group *NSYNC might just be back soon after all, thanks to a new Entertainment Tonight report. Moreover, Justin Timberlake, JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Chris Kirkpatrick and Lance Bass might reunite on wax for the first time in over twenty years for the soundtrack of the next Trolls movie, Trolls Band Together. Not only that, but the source who spoke to the publication of this alleged development also claimed they will have secret roles in the film itself, which releases on November 17 of this year. Given Timberlake’s strong involvement in the franchise as both a character and soundtrack contributor, maybe this is the perfect setting for everyone to get a big, fat check for nostalgia’s sake and have some fun.

Furthermore, this isn’t the singer’s only reunion this year. In addition to the boy band that launched him coming back (reportedly), Justin Timberlake went back in the studio with Timbaland and even called Nelly Furtado for the sessions. But while the Timbaland news saw confirmation and teasing for quite some time, the news on the NSYNC front had been quite reserved until now. For whatever reason, though, this blockbuster is looking like a solid chance.

Trolls Band Together Trailer Hints At NSYNC Reunion

After all, the trailer above even hints at this reunion in a corny but playfully funny way. “We’re out of sync,” singer Troye Sivan’s character tells Timberlake’s character in the teaser. “We’ve gone from boys to men, and now there’s only one direction for us to go: to the back streets.” Sure, maybe you find all those boy band and male group references to be a bit of an eye-roll, but this is Trolls we’re talking about. Wouldn’t it be hilarious if NSYNC’s return isn’t on this big stage, but rather performed by these cartoon characters for a kids movie?

Irony aside, die-hards fans of NSYNC are probably really excited with this news, given that the last song they ever put out was a single for their last album, was back in 2002. They’ve reunited either partly or fully on occasion, most notably when the group except Timberlake joined Ariana Grande at Coachella. So here’s hoping that these rumors are true, because even after twenty years, we still don’t want to say “Bye Bye Bye.” For the latest news on this potential NSYNC reunion and more on Justin Timberlake, check back in with HNHH.

Angela White, Formerly Blac Chyna, Talks Co-Parenting With Rob Kardashian

August 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Angela White, formerly known as Blac Chyna, hasn’t had the easiest dating life, but she’s taken it all in stride. Moreover, during a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight on Wednesday (August 16), the model and social media personality spoke on co-parenting with Rob Kardashian. The former couple had their fair share of ups and downs across their history, but now, things are pretty healed between them. Furthermore, White specifically centered the conversation around her children, Dream and King. Overall, she spoke positively on their bond these days, especially as the kids have other parental figures to look to.

“Time heals everything, people change and situations change,” Angela White told the outlet during their conversation. “As long as my kids are good and happy on both sides, that’s all I care about as a parent.” Speaking of that, the 35-year-old also explained how she doesn’t “worry” about her kids spending time with her exes, Rob and Tyga. “I’m like, ‘Nah, my kids are good,” she remarked. “They’re pretty smart. My kids are really smart, and they have common sense. They’re, like, the sweetest people… so they’re gonna be good, just them in general.”

What’s more is that Angela White even recalled her previous disagreements with Khloé Kardashian, who has spent a lot of time with Dream, in particular. For those unaware, she made comments about becoming a “third parent” to Dream, and that the little one needed a “maternal influence.” “They’re so close, you know? Rob and Khloe,” she pondered. “So of course, Dream’s gonna be like [that] with [Khloé’s daughter], True.” For what it’s worth, Khloé since said that she didn’t intend to throw shots at White with those remarks.

Meanwhile, with their lawsuit behind them, it looks like these co-parents and family members are more amicable than ever. It wasn’t easy to get to this point, but it’s always better to read about reconciliation rather than revenge. Hopefully everyone can continue to focus on their loved ones and come to more heartfelt and unitary conclusions in the future. On that note, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Angela White and Rob Kardashian.

[WATCH] Tupac Discussed Plans To “Move Away From Music” In Rare ET Interview Months Before Murder

April 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

A previously unseen interview with the late Tupac Shakur was released yesterday(April 23) where the pop culture icon talked into his plans to “move away from music.”

Entertainment Tonight shared the otherwise unseen footage as FX’s Dear Mama docuseries premiered this weekend, which explores the relationship the late rapper/actor had with his mother, Afeni Shakur.

Talking to ET about Gridlock’d, the first posthumous silver screen release after his untimely death, ‘Pac delved into putting more time into acting and his movie career, while putting music to the side in order to focus more on his desired craft.

“I just want to push the envelope and work, work, work,” he implored. “I want to move further away from the music and start wading myself into the acting more.”

Shakur also spoke about All Eyez On Me, his first album on Death Row Records after his unexpected release from a New York State Correctional Facility and the last album put out beofre he was killed, which he says was fueled by emotions.

“The album that’s out now is just my emotions, it’s emotional, but it’s not thought-provoking,” he said. “So I want to do some thought-provoking work with my music, and I can do that if I’m working in the films because I grow and learn more things and have more to talk about.”

Nick Cannon, Father Of 12, Says Any Future Babies Are In God’s Hands

February 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In the final months of 2022, it felt as though a new Nick Cannon baby was being born every week. The 42-year-old welcomed more children last year than some become parents to in a lifetime. Presently, it still remains unclear if he’s done. In the past, he’s sometimes gotten defensive when interviewers ask about the possibility of a vasectomy. In a recent interview, he explained that it’s not up to him if his family continues to expand.

He first became a father back in 2011, during his marriage to R&B legend Mariah Carey. They welcomed twins, Monroe and Moroccan, and currently still share custody, though rumour has it that the vocalist is legally battling with her ex over that. Seeing as he’s fathered 10 more kids in the years since she gave birth, Cannon obviously doesn’t have as much time to spend with his oldest two.

The Cannon Family Tree

The San Diego-born star didn’t expand his clan again until 2017 when Brittany Bell gave birth to a boy named Golden Sagon. Three years later the model gave her co-parent his fourth when Powerful Queen was born in December 2020. After this is when things start to get confusing, as more baby mothers enter the picture. Abby De La Rosa became pregnant next, bringing the second set of Cannon twins into the world in the summer of 2021.

Weeks later, Alyssa Scott’s baby boy, Zen, came into the world. Unfortunately, he made a departure at just five months old following a heartbreaking battle with cancer. By the next summer, it was reported that several more Cannon babies were on the way, including Bre Tiesi’s Legendary Love in June 2022 and LaNisha Cole’s Onyx Ice Cole in September. Additionally, Bell, De La Rose, and Scott all continued their respective families with Cannon from late September to mid-December.

Alexa, Play “God’s Plan”

As mentioned earlier, the multi-talent’s family is a sensitive subject for him, particularly when asked about his future plans for more children. Earlier this week Cannon sat down with Entertainment Tonight to discuss fatherhood, among other things. “God decides when we’re done, but I believe I definitely got my hands full,” he acknowledged in the interview.

Ever the jokester, the father of 12 then added, “And I’m so focused. I’m locked in. But when I’m 85, you never know. I might [have more].” Would you be opposed to watching Nick Cannon continue to grow his family, or do you think he should focus on fostering the offspring he already has?
