Earlier this month, it was reported that although Cannon aspires to start a family band, Mariah Carey won’t let the twins she shares with him take part. A source told Radar Online the news last week. “Nick was sure his kids could make millions as a band, but Mariah poured cold water on his dream,” the source told the outlet. They also went on to say, “She’s opposed to her children sharing the spotlight with Nick’s nine other kids from five different women.”

Cannon also recently tore into 50 Cent on his podcast, following comments made by Vivica A. Fox about possibly reuniting with her ex. “You can fantasize about Fif from 15 years ago. That’s a different Fif than this fat n***a that’s walking around now,” he joked on the podcast. Mason Moussette, Cannon’s co-host, revealed that she would take an opportunity to date 50 Cent regardless of his weight. “He is fat! He look like he got a pack of hot dogs in the back of his neck,” Cannon responded, “You lookin’ at them pictures from Get Rich or Die Tryin’, now it’s get thick or die fryin’!” 50 Cent later appeared to share an ominous response to the comments. “If your marketing campaign is say something about 50. [You’re] not going to make it,” he wrote, “have a nice day.”

YNW Melly Update: Family Of Victims “Disgusted” By Him Grinning During Trial

June 13, 2023 by newhiphopnews

YNW Melly’s murder trial for allegedly killing YNW Jury and YNW SakChaser has gotten no shortage of updates since its beginning on Monday (June 12). Moreover, one of the most illuminating pieces of eyewitness reports we’ve gotten concern the Florida rapper’s demeanor throughout. For example, firsthand testimonies in the courtroom claimed that Melly seemingly cried as hospital footage of his alleged victims played during proceedings. However, new reports show a different side to the story. According to court correspondent Bryson “Boom” Paul of the Law & Crime Network, the victims’ families recoiled at the 24-year-old’s attitude.

“Victims family is disgusted by [YNW Melly] displaying a devious grin and brushing his chin,” the journalist wrote. “Family is in disbelief at his new demeanor.” While there is understandably little photographic evidence to accompany many of these statements, there is a livestream available to watch the trial unfold. In addition, you will find no shortage of footage that made its way to sites like Twitter. All that is to say that this is a more publicly available process than many might believe, so each will come to their own conclusions.

YNW Melly Reportedly Grinning In Court To Victims’ Families’ Dismay

— Bryson “Boom” Paul (@brysonboompaul) June 13, 2023

Regardless, Paul is among many journalists who have provided consistent updates on every moment of the trial. One of the most recent developments has been YNW Melly appearing to pray before trial began on Tuesday (June 13). In addition, he is not the only popular rap figure present in the courtroom. Boosie Badazz showed up in support of Melly, and reporters updated fans on him as well. Fredo Bang’s name also came up from prosecutors, who claim that the alleged killer asked Bang to pick him up after the murder.

Meanwhile, the defense argued that another suspect already admitted to the double murder via Instagram. Also on Instagram, the Gifford, Florida native asked fans to pray for him and watch the trial’s livestream. Under new Florida state law enacted by Ron DeSantis, it might be easier for Melly to face the death penalty. As such, many are concerned for his life regardless of guilt, as he is the first on trial subject to these new changes. But to have the victims’ family witness these good spirits must not be easy. For the latest news and updates on YNW Melly and his trial, stick around on HNHH.

Logic Signs His Father To Bobby Boy Records

June 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

During a recent stop on his College Park tour, Logic shared a sweet moment with his dad onstage. He vowed to protect the 69-year-old by signing him to his label, Bobby Boy Records. Logic has been open about his relationship with his father, which has been problematic in the past. It seems as though now, the rapper is really committing to changing it for the better.

Onstage, Logic reflects on asking his dad “Why do you always ask me for money?” The rapper shares that his father’s response was “I don’t know.” He recalls his father saying, “I think it’s just the fact that I’m financially insecure because I want to leave a legacy for your little brother.” Logic says he told the 69-year-old “You know what dad, I’m gonna do an album with you. I’m going to teach you about Black ownership and what it means to run a business.”

“Dad I want to make sure that you’re safe,” Logic told his father onstage, “And we make this album, that you are protected, and you have the greatest lawyers in the f***ing business, and I want to sign my father at 69-years-old to Bobby Boy Records right now. And give him what he always wanted.” His father goes on to say, “I love this boy,” adding, “I knew he was going to be a star… when he came out of my balls, n***a!”

Last month, Logic reflected on his dad asking him for $1 million during his appearance on the Whiskey Ginger with Andrew Santino podcast. The rapper recalls his father telling him, “I want a million dollars for my band so we can buy a house and make music in it.” He claims to have turned down his dad’s request, telling him, “Please don’t ask me for money– can we just like throw Fu***ing catch or some Sh*t?”

Blueface’s Son Pushes His Face Away In New Clip

June 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In a clip recently shared on social media, Blueface’s son Javaughn is seen slapping his father’s face away while they shop for shoes. The rapper seems taken aback by the gesture before laughing it off and saying, “That’s a crip right there.” The young boy is one of Blueface’s two children shared with Jaidyn Alexis. He has an additional little one on the way with Chrisean Rock, who he’s been publicly beefing with lately. Viewers in the comments section are sharing all kinds of speculation as to why the boy is so fed up with his father.

There’s been a great deal of drama between Chrisean and Blueface throughout her pregnancy, with both artists taking shots at each other online. Most recently, Blueface posted screenshots of some questionable text messages exchanged between the two of them. Blueface also recently appeared in court facing a robbery charge. A woman alleged that Blueface stole her phone after her fan encounter with Chrisean turned sour. She further alleged that Blueface kicked her while she was on the ground after Chrisean punched her in the face. Blueface was also recently charged with attempted murder for a 2022 shooting incident.

Blueface has been spending more time with the mother of his first two children amid his drama with Chrisean. Recently, he took to social media to share that they were out on a date. As the pair threw back shots, he told the mother of two that she would be taking care of the child he has on the way with Chrisean. “I’m not gonna watch the child so you gon’ be stuck watching the child,” he told the mother of two. However, it appears that Chrisean has other plans for her unborn child.

“It’s just Chrisean now, Chrisean and God,” she told Twitter followers last month, “We welcoming this baby soon, but the version [and] vision I have is out of this world, it’s happening as I’m typing. The negative sh*t been behind me.” She also previously explained that there’s “no turning back from being a mommy.” She claims she “instantly fell in love,” upon hearing her child’s heartbeat.

Takeoff’s Mother Sues Bowling Alley Where He Was Killed

June 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Titania Davenport, the mother of late rapper Takeoff, is reportedly suing the Houston venue where her son was killed. She is seeking “compensatory, special, economic, consequential, general, punitive, and all other damages permissible under Texas law.” She filed the suit in a Harris County, TX court yesterday. The lawsuit follows the indictment of suspect Patrick Xavier Clark for the murder of Takeoff last month.

According to the lawsuit, “[The] Defendants provided no screening mechanisms, no after-hour controls or security measures, and no enforcement of rules or industry standards to deter crime against their invitees, to include [Takeoff].” It continues, “Social media posting in advance of the party made it clear that not only basic security measures needed to be followed, but advance planning and consideration should have been taken into account.” The suit alleges that “defendants were negligent in failing to do.”

“Defendants knew or should have known that a significant number of violent crimes were committed at the subject premises and in the surrounding area, but negligently failed to protect invitees like [Takeoff] from the risks of violent crime.” The suit alleges, “Defendants negligently failed to take necessary and unique precautions due to the specific event and the attendees.” “Defendants knew that based on the nature of the party, celebrities would more likely than not be in attendance and potentially be the targets of crime.” The suit claims they, “negligently represented proper security would be in place, when in fact none was.”

Late last month, Patrick Xavier Clark was formally indicted for the murder of the young rapper. According to the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, he was officially charged by authorities on May 25. Takeoff was killed in November of 2022, leaving family, friends, and fans to mourn the tragic loss. Clark previously claimed that the shooting was done in self-defense. He also tried to flee the country ahead of his arrest for the murder, in 2022.

It seems as though Exodus isn’t the only person following in his dad’s footsteps. Last month, Swizz Beatz opened up about another artist who he thinks embodies his late friend DMX. “But the thing that make me feel easy about it is he came to me,” the artist began. He described feeling as though the young rapper Scar Lip was sent to him by DMX. Swizz Beatz explained, “I seen him in my dream. He came to me. And this was, like, super quick too. And he let me know he was good. I’m the person that be like, ‘He ain’t come to see you, what you talkin’ about?’ I seen him. I felt him.”

“I honestly feel like DMX sent Scar Lip my way because she’s too much of his energy,” Swizz said. “Like I’ve never seen an artist that just naturally have what I know DMX have. And they two different artists, two different levels, yes. But I’m not talking about that. You know, like, that sister’s been through a lot, like Dog been through a lot. That sister, you know, is when you sit with her, she’s amazing and have a great heart the same way X had a great heart.”

Sydney Sweeney Recalls Her Dad & Grandfather’s Reaction To “Euphoria”

June 5, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Sydney Sweeney says that her dad and Grandfather walked out of the room when they first watched her performance in Euphoria. Sweeney recalled their reactions during an interview on Sunday Today With Willie Geist.

“My mom visited me on set at the time, so she knew the story and I talked to her a lot about it — my dad didn’t,” Sweeney explained. “Yeah, I didn’t prepare my dad. At all.”

From there, Sweeney continued while laughing: “I mean, how do you bring it up in conversation? And also, when I talk to my dad, it’s usually not about work. We talk, like, father-daughter conversations. He decided he was going to watch it, without telling me, with his parents.” She added: “My dad and my grandpa turned it off and walked out. But my grandma is a big supporter of mine. She’s a big fan of mine. Actually, I bring her, usually, all over the world to my different sets and I make her an extra.”

She also explained why she chose to take on the role. “‘I think I tend to drift toward characters who might read one way on a page, and I like to find layers to that character,” Sweeney explained. “Finding the layers and just, the emotional depth to who she is and why she is, how she acts or how she thinks, she’s a beautiful, broken character.”

Sweeney will be returning for a third season of Euphoria, although HBO has yet to set a premiere date. It’s believed that new episodes won’t be released until at least 2025. The show’s costume designer, Heidi Bivens, previously teased to Vogue that the story will take place “approximately five years in the future” after the characters are out of high school. While most cast members will be returning, Barbie Ferreira, who played Kat, recently announced her departure from the show.
