Trinity Rodman Rips Father Dennis Rodman’s Parenting In Scathing Interview: “He’s Not A Dad”

December 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Trinity Rodman, the soccer star daughter of legendary NBA big man Dennis Rodman, is not pulling any punches on her “dad.” According to Bossip, the NWSL athlete joined Alex Cooper on her Call Her Daddy podcast to tell her side of the story and how rough it was growing up. The Olympic gold medalist’s interview debuted today, and it contains a lot of shocking and heartbreaking quotes. One that’s really spreading like wildfire is how she really views Dennis Rodman. “He’s a person. He’s not a dad. Maybe by blood, but nothing else,” the 22-year-old said to Cooper.

This is really the first time that Trinity has felt ready to really open up about what their relationship is actually like. It certainly makes sense, as it’s hard to really process all of those emotions, especially at such a young age. But she’s ready and not holding back. During her summarized retelling of life with her father, Trinity revealed that she was actually living out of a car for a while.

“We [mother Michelle Moyer and brother DJ] tried to live with him, but he’s having parties 24/7. He’s bringing random b****es in. My mom didn’t want — she was strong enough to deal with it because even to this day, I still believe that my dad hasn’t loved anyone after my mom.” Speaking of Moyer’s marriage with Dennis, it only lasted one year. They divorced in 2004 and they were rarely in contact with Dennis after everything officially went through in 2012.

Perhaps the saddest moment of the sit-down was when Trinity talked about the time when he showed up to a 2021 playoff game of hers. She claims he really only went for his love of the media and all of the attention. They did embrace, but Trinity felt lonely still in that moment. “I lost hope in ever getting him back, I answer the phone now for my conscience to be like, ‘He needed to hear my voice’ before anything happens. That’s why I answer the phone, not for me.” If you want to listen/watch the full interview, visit the Spotify link above.

Bhad Bhabie Reconciles With Her Alienated Father

October 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bhad Bhabie’s fast rise to stardom and virality in the late 2010s led to a lot of backlash online. Her image was especially put into question after her wild interview with Dr. Phil and her mother Barbara Bregoli. It painfully highlighted how tense things were between them and gave witnesses a glimpse into what their lives at home must’ve been like. Similarly, her relationship with her father, Ira Peskowitz, was also far from great around 2016-2018. According to TMZ, it got to the point where her father was formally removed from her birth certificate and was also forced to give up his parental rights.

Then, in 2020, Bhad Bhabie (Danielle Bregoli) was strongly considering a restraining order against Ira. This was because he was spreading abuse allegations against his then wife Barbara. Bhabie laid the hammer down on him for this, labeling him an absent father while also alleging Ira was attempting to draw attention away from her burgeoning rap career. However, the father and daughter have been working hard to create a healthy relationship once again.

In fact, things seem to be the best have been in a long time and they have been for just over a year. TMZ has learned that Bhabie was the one to reach out via texts and phone calls. These series of communications led to her traveling to Florida to meet with him and thankfully, it was a successful reuniting. That then led to Bhabie inviting Ira and his new wife and her two sons (her half-brothers) to her house in Los Angeles in September. There, they celebrated the half birthday of Bhabie’s daughter, Kali. After years of turmoil and hatred, we are happy to see her and Ira rebuilding a strong father-daughter connection!

What are your thoughts on Bhad Bhabie and her father reconciling with each other? Did you know they had been steadily building up their relationship for this long? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Bhad Bhabie.

Ice Spice’s Father Responds To Cleotrapa’s Claims That He’s Hispanic & Not Nigerian

September 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

All day and even going back to the wee hours of the night before, rappers Ice Spice and Cleotrapa have been airing out their dirty laundry on X. This all started because of the latter claiming to have received awful treatment while being on the roster for the Y2K! tour. Both have been making wild statements about each other and currently, Cleo has the last word. Just moments ago, she called out the “Phat Butt” MC for lying about her dad’s nationality, saying that he’s actually Hispanic. Fans have had differing opinions on this tweet, but the artist’s father is making sure that his words come across as clear as possible.

According to The Neighborhood Talk, Joseph Gaston wants to make it known right away that he doesn’t want any part of this. While doing so he sets the record straight and essentially tells Cleo to zip it. “@iamcleotrapa we met twice in the green room. We barely spoke, who said I’m Hispanic?”, he began. “Ken I’m gonna dead this right here. I’m a black man. Born and raised in the BX. Keep me out this bulls***”. What’s even wilder, some people were asking for proof and he said that he’s taken an ancestry test to confirm all of this in the past.

Ice Spice & Cleotrapa’s Beef Continues To Bring In New Voices

“More like 30% and a mix of other countries like Ghana, ivory coast, Senegal, Mali, Cameroon. Taino.” That was a response to someone who said he was even less Nigerian that. However, he doesn’t appear to be taking offense to any of this as he says he does have Latino family members. In one breath, Cleo was correct, but nowhere near 100%, kind of like some other things she claimed earlier today.

What are your thoughts on Ice Spice’s father’s response to Cleotrapa’s accusations that he’s actually Hispanic? Who do you think these two will bring into their feud next? Who is currently taking this way too far the most so far and why? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Victoria Monet’s Father’s Day Post Leads To Woman Claiming To Be The Singer’s Half-Sister

June 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Victoria Monet experienced a monumental Father’s Day this month, as it became the first one she spent with her dad. “spending our first Father’s Day together ever,” the upcoming Megan collaborator wrote in a social media post, including a picture of the two together. “a real blessing! The little girl in me is so happyyyyyy, healing.” It’s a very heartening and wholesome development to witness, but it’s also one that has led to a lot of Internet speculation and possible, unexpected family reunions. Moreover, a woman claimed that this is her biological father as well, and that she is Monet’s half-sister.

“I’m glad you got a chance to meet him finally ,” the woman wrote of Victoria Monét and her father. “I’m 23 and haven’t seen him 20 years of my life…and he never bothered to reach out to me. Wow ANTHONY DETAMOORE or however u spell it !!! So Victoria Monet is my half sister ??” The “Alright” creative has yet to publicly respond to these claims at press time. Regardless, it’s not really any of our business to know what she thinks of this or how it makes her feel. After all, this seems like a very personal and complex process of learning about extended family… or it could be a clout-chase.

Victoria Monet’s Alleged Half-Sister Speaks Out

Obviously, this caused chaos in the replies of these tweets, with many validating the woman Zhanae’s narrative and others blasting her for it. But Victoria Monét’s alleged half-sister defended her right to tell her side of the story and to seek this reconnection. “My story deserves to be heard too,” she wrote of her alleged relationship to the 2024 BET Awards nominee. “how dare u spend time with ur other kids on Father’s Day like u are bettering your life and u have other kids out here . And I have reached out when I was younger he was not interested so u think imma reach out again ??? CRAZY”

Overall, this seems like a very tangled web with no strong indication of whether or not it will continue to play out in the public eye. Hopefully Victoria Monet doesn’t have to shift gears much as a result, as she already canceled some festival dates due to health issues. Still, it’s important to think sympathetically in these moments, especially concerning your loves ones. Whatever’s going on here, we’re sure it’s nothing that family can’t heal.

Love Sean Combs & Daddy Diddy Hit The Baby Gym In Sweet Playdate Video: Watch

March 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Just because many prominent figures in the entertainment industry have turned their back on Diddy doesn’t mean he’s ready to retreat and admit defeat. Now that his work schedule is decidedly less booked and busy the New York native has been pouring time and energy into his family and supporting friends who’ve stuck by his side through this troubling time. One of the biggest blessings Diddy still has to smile about every day is his youngest, baby Love Sean Combs.

The little girl’s arrival came as a surprise to the world at the peak of the Bad Boy mogul’s fling with Yung Miami. Love’s mom is Dana Tran, a cyber security specialist who continues to keep her personal life mostly out of the spotlight since introducing her daughter to the world. While she and Diddy don’t seem to be romantic partners, he is an incredibly active co-parent and loves to show the young girl’s growth and adventures on social media. Earlier this month, her personal account lit up with a heartwarming video from a playdate at the baby gym with her daddy.

The comment section is full of uplifting messages for the “Moments” artist, commending him on continuing to be a stand-up father in times of struggle.

As for his elder children, Diddy’s been spending time bonding with them too. While attending Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign’s VULTURES event at Rolling Loud, the “I’ll Be Missing You” artist posed for photos with his twins and their sister. The girls were looking fly to watch Nicki Minaj give her headlining performance, which even included “Starships.” Read all about that at the link below, and check back later for more music/pop culture news updates.

Nicki Minaj Speaks On Last Conversation With Her Late Father, Robert Maraj

January 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Nicki Minaj recently spoke to Ebro Darden on Apple Music about her new album Pink Friday 2, hip-hop’s current state, and a whole lot more. While she’s very much enjoying herself these days and enjoying the success of her project, this sit-down also called for some reflection. For example, the Trinidadian MC eventually expressed some thoughts and remarks about her late father Robert Maraj, who tragically passed away following a hit-and-run in 2021. Specifically, she recalled their last conversation, which was just hours before his death. It’s quite the emotive moment to witness, and one we hope will allow the 41-year-old to continue to heal and honor her dad.

“One day, I was rocking the baby in the rocking chair in his room,” Nicki Minaj shared. “I do not normally even have the phone on me when I’m rocking him. Because at that time, I was mad strict… But anyway, that day, as I’m rocking him, the phone rings. I look down, I see it’s my father, I normally would not have picked up, I promise you. I would’ve said, ‘OK,’ because I don’t like to be on the phone with the baby there. But something said, ‘Pick up the phone.’

“I picked up,” Nicki Minaj continued. “He was very happy. He was like, ‘Baby, I can come on Monday.’ Because he had been waiting to come to Cali to help me. And I kept saying, ‘Come on out.’ That was Friday. He said he wanted to come on Monday. And we were so happy. I was like, ‘Yes! We’re gonna get help.’

“And then we went to bed and sometime late while we were all asleep, the phone rang,” she concluded. “It was my mother telling me that my father was in an accident and that she didn’t know what was gonna happen and she would call me back. And then everything started spinning, like literally.” For more news and the latest updates on Nicki Minaj, stick around on HNHH.
Rest In Peace Robert Maraj.

Travis Barker’s Kids Alabama & Landon Get $150K G-Wagons From Rockstar Dad For Christmas

December 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

We all wish we could give our loved ones the finest of everything come Christmastime, but unfortunately, only the top 1% seem able to give out luxurious gifts to others in their life with ease these days. People like Travis Barker, who have spent decades in the spotlight, are pros at doing it big at this point. Seeing as his teenage daughter, Alabama, celebrates her birthday on December 24th, the rocker has had no choice but to become an expert gift giver, making sure his princess feels every bit as special as she deserves.

As Page Six reports, the heavily tattooed artist went all out for Alabama’s 18th. On her Instagram Story she excitedly showed off her brand new Mercedes Benz G-Wagon from Travis, as well as the matching whip her older brother, Landon, got. Like many other American families, the Barkers were glad in festive pyjamas while running outside to check out their presents. The $150K vehicle was definitely the biggest treat the blonde beauty got, but it wasn’t the only noteworthy flex she posted online.

Travis Barker Spoils His Daughter For Christmas and Her 18th

To carry all her must-haves from the family mansion to her SUV, Travis and his wife, Kourtney Kardashian, surprised the young socialite with a Hermes purse. “Your girl got her first Birkin,” Alabama bragged on her Story, showing off the ivory-coloured bag that comes with a minimum $24K price tag. Elsewhere, Kris Jenner gave her extended family member a $4K watch from Cartier, and her step-mom came through with a stunning diamond necklace.

Travis Barker has done plenty to prove he’s a great father this year, from supporting Kardashian through her fetal surgery before the Poosh founder gave birth to their son, Rocky. Of course, we haven’t forgotten about his musical skills either. Most recently, the Blink-182 star impressed us with his cover of Gunna’s “fukumean,” which you can revisit at the link below.

Ari Fletcher’s Father Breaks Silence On 28-Year Absence, Leaves Daughter With Unanswered Questions

November 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In a recent interview that sent shockwaves through social media, Ari Fletcher’s father stepped into the spotlight to address the burning question that has lingered for 28 years. Why wasn’t he there for his daughter and present in her life? The hot seat moment unfolded when host Kendra G confronted Ari Fletcher’s father with the question, “What was the excuse for not being there for your daughter for the last 28 years?” The answer, however, was as surprising as it was disappointing. With a candid demeanor, the father revealed, “Me and her mother didn’t work out. So I just moved on to the next woman.”

It was a revelation that left Ari Fletcher visibly taken aback. This prompted her to question the necessity of her father’s presence in her life. “I just don’t see where we go from here, why do I need you in my life?” she responded. Many people who watched the clip felt the same way. The shared sentiments echoed in the comments. “You moving on to the next woman don’t have [s**t] to do with you being a present father. Tf,” one person commented. “This is actually how a lot of men are. It’s very sad and pathetic,” another said.

The revelation opened a Pandora’s box of emotions. Moreover, it sparked a heated debate on social media about the responsibilities of parenthood and the impact of absent fathers. Many fans expressed their disappointment. Many pointed out that family relationships are not disposable. And they can’t just be easily forgotten about when the romantic relationships fizzle out. “It’s crazy how some parents can just abandon their child like that,” someone wrote. “His love for his child was conditional on if he was with her Mom or not… smh.”

Ari Fletcher’s father’s explanation, or lack thereof, has ignited a broader conversation about accountability and the complex dynamics of family ties. However, his explanation has left more questions than answers. Now people are wondering if this is the beginning of a relationship between father and daughter? Or if it marks the definitive end of a chapter that was never fully written.

Benzino & Coi Leray’s Financial Beef: He Says She Tried To Embarrass Him

November 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Benzino hopped back on Instagram Live to talk about his current struggles with his daughter, Coi Leray. Moreover, he previously expressed a lack of embarrassment at the fact that she recently revealed, concerning that he asked her for money. Now, the media personality explained that he didn’t feel embarrassed by this, although he probably won’t make that request to his kids again. As such, he asked the haters to back off, or at least to acknowledge that he doesn’t care about the backlash. Lastly, the former co-owner of The Source described himself as having “post-traumatic street syndrome,” indicating his relationship with cash.

In addition, this spat also went into why Benzino thinks Coi Leray is being dishonest about her upbringing. “She said she slept in cars, she ain’t never slept in no f***ing cars,” he ranted. “That I knew about, you know. I had my daughter five months out the year. I was with her mother until she was nine, then I had her five months out the year. She lived with me twice, in Atlanta she went to Campbell High School. I was a single dad, and I was taking care of my kids. All of my kids. And her two older brothers by two other men that wasn’t mine… looks like she’s almost brainwashed. She ain’t ever slept in no cars or sold drugs. I don’t know why she’s running with this narrative.”

“I wish that he would just respect that,” Coi Leray said of the distance in her relationship with her father. “Again, the interview was done in June. I haven’t said anything since but, respectfully, I wish that we could just keep everything offline moving forward. We don’t got to have a relationship but I’m still your kid, it is what it is. So, just respect the fact that what you’re doing is not cool.

“Instead of you congratulating me and be happy for me, you want to go online and try and use me to prove yourself to these people in this industry on why you didn’t get the respect or whatever is it that you deserve,” she continued. “I don’t want to be your clout kid. I rather us, again, just hit me offline.” For more news and the latest updates on Benzino and Coi Leray, check back in with HNHH.

Coi Leray Didn’t Sell Drugs Or Sleep In Cars, Benzino Insists Amid Father-Daughter Tension

November 13, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Coi Leray and Benzino don’t always take their drama to the internet, but when they do, we feel it. The pair seemed to be on good terms a few months back, though the “Blick Blick” artist’s comments about her father during a recent interview with Angie Martinez rubbed him the wrong way. “At first it was rocky, because I felt like he couldn’t handle my success,” Leray told the podcaster of how her and Benzino’s relationship changed during her rise to fame. “[It’s] okay because he’s human, that’s fine.”

Though she admittedly gave him some grace, the former media titan is having a hard time hearing some of what his child had to say. He’s already put her and Martinez on blast for spreading a “false narrative” about him, as well as Busta Rhymes for filming a music video with a half-naked Leray not too long ago. On Monday (November 13), Benzino had more to get off his chest on Live. “She said she slept in cars, she ain’t never slept in no f**king cars,” the 58-year-old’s rant began.

“That I knew about, you know. I had my daughter five months out the year,” he added. “I was with her mother until she was nine, then I had her five months out the year. She lived with me twice, in Atlanta she went to Campbell High School. I was a single dad, and I was taking care of my kids. All of my kids,” Benzino went off, the emotion in his voice growing. “And her two older brothers by two other men that wasn’t mine… [Coi] looks like she’s almost brainwashed. She ain’t ever slept in no cars or sold drugs. I don’t know why she’s running with this narrative.” Leray has yet to respond, but if she does choose to address her father, we know she won’t hold back on speaking her truth.

No matter what’s going on in her personal life with Benzino or her other relationships, Coi Leray continues to kill it musically. Her latest release was in tandem with Lola Brooke for the New York native’s debut album, Dennis Daughter, which you can check out at the link below.
