Parents Sue School After Their 10-Year-Old Son Gets Expelled For Emailing YNW Melly Lyrics

As the legal troubles of YNW Melly continue to develop in his retrial process, his lyrics continue to be a controversial discussion outside of the courtroom. You might remember the large debate over whether or not his lyrics should be used for evidence in court. But what about their use in classrooms? New reports emerged that the parents of a 10-year-old boy enrolled in Encino’s Curtis School are suing the institution for expelling him. Why was he expelled? Well, he apparently sent lyrics from Melly’s “Murder On My Mind” via email to a classmate, including a toy gun emoji.

The fifth grader at the $38,000-a-year Los Angeles private school was the victim of an “arbitrary and capricious” decision on behalf of the school, his parents allege. “The school provided no evidence of a policy being violated or of the classmate feeling threatened,” the lawsuit reportedly claims. In addition, reports did not indicate that the Curtis School took action against the other classmate over this situation with YNW Melly lyrics. It’s unclear exactly what specific damages or applicable compensation the parents seek in their legal pursuit.

Nevertheless, the boy’s parents maintained that he’s a straight-A student with no history of behavioral issues. In fact, they even claimed that he and the other classmate “hung out during recess immediately after the Sept. 25 email exchange and also attended the school fair together at the Santa Monica Pier the following day.” In response, the Curtis School issued a statement about this YNW Melly controversy. “While we were disappointed to learn about the litigation, our priority is to ensure a safe and secure campus for all of our students. We are unable to comment on individual students.”

Meanwhile, the YNW Melly case is even affecting other criminal proceedings. For example, a murder suspect used it as an excuse for why he searched the criteria for a murder conviction. Given the massive public interest in the Melly trial, it’s not an impossibility. But it’s clear that its popularity also has some unintended consequences in various areas. So we’ll see if it has other effects or impacts.

Tina Knowles Hilariously Realizes What Beyonce’s Song “Ego” Is Actually About

Tina Knowles has spent so much time with Beyonce’s catalog that one would probably expect her to know it as well as the back of her hand. But it turns out that there are still surprises in Queen Bey’s catalog that her mother is catching onto all these years later. Moreover, the recently divorced Knowles left an Instagram comment under a video of a podcast group listening to her daughter’s track “Ego,” which has lyrics such as “It’s too big, it’s too wide, it won’t fit.” As such, it seems like she never caught on to the song’s sexual innuendo, and expressed genuine shock and surprise at realizing the hidden meaning years after its release.

“Wow, !!!!!!!!” Tina Knowles’ message about Beyoncé’s cut “Ego” began. “I just realized that she wasn’t talking about that ego!!!!!!!! Ohhhhhh Myyyyyy!!!!!!! [three crying-laughing emojis]. I’m serious I really didn’t Know til now!!!!!! That’s crazy! Nooo! Really? Maybe not ! I don’t know! What y’all think?” At least Knowles has other Bey songs to latch onto, such as when the Kamala Harris campaign used “Freedom” after Tina endorsed her for president of the United States.

Tina Knowles Admits That She Just Found Out What Beyoncé’s “Ego” Is Really About

As far as other retrospective perspectives from Tina Knowles about Beyoncé’s life and career, she recently expanded on how her daughter handled bullying in her childhood. She told Vogue that the Houston superstar actually didn’t defend herself at first, but started doing so after she stuck up for another person whom childhood bullies attacked. Of course, this idea sounds bizarre today: why in the world would Sasha Fierce have bullies? But we all have to start somewhere, and these old tales remind us of where and what we came from on our path to where we are now.

Also, Tina Knowles divulged on what advice Beyoncé gave her daughter Blue Ivy when it comes to dealing with haters, not bullies. “One of her friends came back and showed her some negative comments and it was a great life lesson,” she told Vogue‘s The Run Through podcast. “Because her mom basically said, ‘Listen, if you let this get you down, then they won. So you should go and work harder. And, you know, just work harder and get your skills together and go out there and blast it.’ So it actually worked in Blue’s favor because she was only supposed to do it one time. But now her mom was, that mama bear was on to it. It was like, she was like, ‘You go out there and kill it,’ and she did. She just grew so much from that experience.”

Kesha Flips “Tik Tok” Lyric To “F*ck P Diddy” At Coachella

Kesha joined Reneé Rapp on stage at Coachella on Sunday to perform her 2010 hit song, “TiK ToK.” The chart-topping track famously features the lyric, “Wake up in the mornin’ feelin’ like P Diddy.” However, in light of the recent allegations against the Bad Boy mogul, Kesha used the opportunity to change it into a diss. She and Rapp both sang: “Wake up in the morning like, f*** P Diddy.” They threw up their middle fingers toward the sky as well.

It’s not the first time Kesha has changed the lyric, although it is the most vulgar. Back in November, following Cassie’s bombshell lawsuit against Diddy, she sang, “Wake up in the morning feeling just like me!” while performing on her Only Love Tour in Oakland. Cassie settled the lawsuit just a day later, but the drama has gotten exponentially worse for Diddy in the months since.

Kesha’s move comes after Homeland Security agents raided Diddy’s home in Los Angeles and Miami as part of a sex trafficking investigation. Diddy is also facing numerous other lawsuits which accuse him of various instances of misconduct and worse. He’s denied all of the claims against him and has yet to face any charges. His lawyer, Aaron Dyers, labeled the raids on his properties a “gross overuse of military-level force” in a statement at the time. “There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated,” he elaborated.

Kodak Black Reacts To Glorilla’s Explicit Lyrics About Her Throat On BossMan DLow’s “Finesse” Remix

Kodak Black had an elated reaction to hearing Glorilla’s verse on the remix to BossMan DLow’s song, “Fineese.” Listening to the song on social media, Kodak remarked: “B*tch say she could make her throat stretch! B*tch show me! How far?”

In her verse, Glorilla raps: “You hangin’ with the n****s that bucked you for your pistol, you a brewster / I can make my throat stretch (Ayy), I can make a mess (Woo) / Instead ran up a couple hundred thousand, went thirty days no sex / You know how lame it is to confront me about a n***a through a text? / You know how fast I’ll turn your favorite n***a into your favorite ex, ho?”

Kodak has expressed his affection for Glorilla on several occasions over the years. When his track, “Super Gremlin,” lost at the BET Hip Hop Awards, he complained on Twitter that Glorilla hadn’t won instead of Latto. “The Woman Empowerment Sh*t Kool,” Kodak wrote at the time. “Don’t Take Nun From Nobody But You Still Gotta Work For It! Don’t Jus Simply Give It To Somebody Kuz They A Woman !!!!! If That’s The Case Y’all Shoulda Gave Song Of The Year To Glorilla Not That Hating Ass Mutt. [‘Big Energy’] Ain’t Move Nobody! Forget About Me At This Point ! AT LEAST ‘F*ck N***a Free’ Was A Anthem ! Tf You Think SONG OF THE YEAR Mean?” He also once popped into the comments section of one of Glorilla’s live streams and remarked: “You prolly aint my girl today but that’s why I love tomorrow.”

MC Lyte Causes Controversy After Old Lyrics About Age Gaps Resurface

MC Lyte is one of hip-hop’s premier legends, and few femcees have reached her level of acclaim and influence since. However, as every other rapper under the sun, her lyrics– especially early ones– often fell under much scrutiny with differing or shifting societal standards of what can and can’t appear in a rap song. To explain, Ray Daniels of the Culture Report podcast recently brought up lines from the New York rapper’s 1991 cut “2 Young 4 What,” which she released when she was 21 years of age. In them, she makes some worrisome remarks on the age gap between her and a potential male partner.

“It may sound nasty and it may sound mean, but I’m into little boys that are about seventeen,” the 53-year-old rapped back in the day. “I don’t know why, but they put up a fight, and hot damn that excites the MC Lyte.” “I gotta ask: why are we not up in arms about the MC Lyte line?” Ray Daniels inquired about these lines. When asked what to do about them, the host said that folks should hold her to the same standards of– in his words– the likes of Bill Cosby and Russell Simmons. “I want the same thing everyone else got, I want the same anger, and the same vigor, and the same grooming, that they talked about… I want the same anger for this!” he expressed.

Ray Daniels Questions MC Lyte’s Old Lyrics: Listen

Of course, this prompted a lot of debate on social media surrounding double standards and how seriously folks should take lyrics like these. Some defended MC Lyte’s very young age when writing these lines, whereas others believe that folks don’t make these excuses for men. What many did agree on is that these lyrics aged quite poorly. Still, four bars don’t invalidate decades of hard work, and the Lyte as a Rock artist is still a leading figure for hip-hop these days.

Meanwhile, it will be interesting to see if she responds to this discussion or her lyrics in any way. A lot changed since 1991, including the wider acceptance of rap by society. With that evolution came more perspectives than ever, ones that we must continually learn from to understand why bars like these aged as such. For more news and the latest updates on MC Lyte, check back in with HNHH.

50 Cent Compares Diddy Situation To Rick Ross Lyrics, Which He Didn’t Appreciate

50 Cent has wasted no time clowning Diddy and calling him out amid his various sexual assault lawsuits. In fact, it became his favorite social media pastime in recent weeks, although he switches between jabs and sympathetic statements. Still, considering that Fif is apparently producing a documentary on Sean Combs alleged behavior, this obsession definitely leans towards the former option. Moreover, his latest addition to this saga is the revelation that this documentary will donate all proceeds to sexual assault victims. But the G-Unit mogul chose to make a very odd comparison regarding another enemy in the rap game.

Furthermore, 50 Cent reposted a TMZ article on his Diddy documentary and also included controversial lyrics from his longtime rap rival Rick Ross, plus a picture of him with the Bad Boy business titan. For those unaware, he caught heat some years ago for very troubling and insensitive bars on the track “U.O.E.N.O.” “Put molly all in her champagne, she ain’t even know it,” Ross spit on the 2013 cut. “I took her home and I enjoyed that, she ain’t even know it.” “WTF at some point you gotta just do the right thing,” 50 wrote as the post’s caption.

50 Cent Drags Rick Ross Into Diddy Drama

For what it’s worth, Rick Ross apologized for these lyrics, lost a Reebok partnership deal because of it, and seems to have moved past this part of his career. However, one thing that he definitely doesn’t hold back on are his responses amid rap beef. As such, the Maybach Music mogul took to 50 Cent’s comments section of this post to bring up his relationship with Cuban Link, although he seems to have mistaken her for another MC. “@50cent ! CUBAN DOLL FT. @omelly Single and video cum’n #DC,” he wrote.

Meanwhile, since the couple don’t always talk about their partnership publicly, we can’t even confirm if they’re still together. Regardless, this still further fueled the conflict between the Queens rapper and the Mississippi native. Who knows who else is going to get dragged into this drama? On that note, stick around on HNHH for more news and the latest updates on Rick Ross, Diddy, and 50 Cent.

Fat Joe Defends Lying In “95%” His Lyrics

Fat Joe has explained why he admitted to lying in “95%” of his lyrics, arguing that he had to speak out for those whose music is being used against them in court. Joe had been discussing his music and Young Thug’s ongoing trial during an interview with Gayle King on CNN.

“I’ve been rapping professionally for 30 years,” Fat Joe, last week. “I’ve lied in almost 95 percent of my songs. I’m being honest. I write like I feel that day. I’m just being creative. You couldn’t build a jail high enough for the lyrics I’ve said on songs, which are all untrue. What I am is a family man, the person who gives back to my community all the time, opens businesses in my community.”

Joe defended the comments while on Instagram Live, on Sunday. In doing so, he described himself as an “elder statesman of Hip-Hop.” “I had to say 95% of what I say is a lie so that they could understand that it’s unfair to try some kids for the rest of their life with sh*t they might have not done,” Joe explained. “None of this sh*t is true. It’s creativity. It’s imagination. Those who know, know. If I say I use my creativity, my imagination in my music, don’t mean I ain’t lived a real f*cking life in the streets.” Check out his latest comments on the matter below.

Fat Joe Addresses His Recent Comments

Joe’s livestream comes as Thug’s lyrics are being used against him in his YSL RICO case. Speaking with CNN, Joe argued that an artist of Thug’s popularity having his lyrics used in court sets a dangerous precedent for future musicians. He’s one of several rappers to express their concern over the matter in recent months. Be on the lookout for further updates on Fat Joe on HotNewHipHop.
