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 cute video is soundtracked by Bobby Caldwell’s “What You Won’t Do for Love” and shows Combs pushing his smiling daughter in a tiny swing and holding her hand as she confidently crosses over a balance beam. 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.

Stormi Webster Joins Travis Scott’s “MAFIA” Performance During LA Tour Stop

November 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

After the tragedy that unfolded at his 2021 Astroworld Festival, some thought Travis Scott’s career would never be able to recover. He had to take some time away from the spotlight to let the dust settle, but this past summer, the father of two returned with his UTOPIA album. It remains to be seen if the LP will achieve the same sort of legacy as its predecessors, but so far, the turnout on Scott’s Circus Maximus tour proves that his hiatus didn’t lose him all of his fans.

For his latest performance, the Houston native turned Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium into his personal playground. In front of tens of thousands of patrons, La Flame brought out Playboi Carti to help with their joint effort, “FE!N.” Elsewhere at the show, he surprised everyone by tapping his 5-year-old daughter to join him for “MAFIA.” Stormi Webster looked nervous as Scott sang to the crowd, but still, the crowd cheered her on before her famous father sent her off with a crew member.

Stormi Webster Made Her Circus Maximus Tour Debut Last Night

This marks the nepo baby’s first appearance on stage for this tour. Seeing as Travis will be travelling across the continent until the end of December, we wouldn’t count out another, more confident performance from the growing girl. Stormi’s parents previously decided to once again go their separate ways romantically. Thankfully, both parties still have their daughter’s best interest in mind and can use their own past mistakes to help guide her on the right path.

While Travis Scott is helping her conquer any fears of stage fright at an early age, Kylie Jenner opened up about her history with plastic surgery this summer and noted how she would feel if her eldest made similar decisions at such a young age. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Kanye West & North Hold Hands In Dubai, Ye Smiles While Talking With Fans: Watch

November 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

We’ve always known that North West is her dad’s biggest fan. After watching her pay tribute to him this past Halloween, it’s more evident than ever that the father-daughter Gemini duo still has a close bond. This is obviously difficult for them at times, as they’re often at a distance from each other due to his constant travels. Still, North sometimes has the opportunity to take in the world’s most beautiful places due to her status as a nepo baby. Most recently, the tween was on camera out in Dubai with her famous father, holding hands while strolling through a shopping mall.

TMZ shared the footage on Monday (November 6), giving a highly anticipated update on Ye as his album with Ty Dolla Sign remains in limbo. The musical pair was expected to perform live in Italy before hosting listening parties last month, but no longer seem to be moving forward with those plans. Instead, West is enjoying time with his eldest child, who told her mom Kim Kardashian on a recent episode of their reality show that she prefers Ye’s laid-back, apartment lifestyle to living in a giant luxury mansion.

Kanye West and His Firstborn North West Link Up in Dubai

Just a few days before that, a clip of the TikToker and her dad chatting with fans in Riyadh began circulating on Twitter. While North stands off to the side, West grins from ear to ear during his chat with locals. One of the men shows the multi-talent something in a book or portfolio, and whatever creativity was inside certainly struck a chord with West.

It’s worth noting that the Graduation hitmaker’s wife, Bianca Censori, hasn’t been out with him in some time – instead, she seems to be spending time with girlfriends amid concern that her other half has become too much of a controlling influence over her life. None of North’s siblings appear overseas either, though it’s likely not hard for them to connect over FaceTime in moments of loneliness.

Ye Can’t Help But Smile While Talking with Fans

If you met Kanye West in person, what would you say to the rapper to hopefully make him smile? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for any updates on the father of four’s ongoing project with Ty Dolla Sign.

Ari Fletcher Has Heartfelt Conversation With Her Father, Their First-Ever Meeting

November 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Ari Fletcher grew up without her biological father, and though she found plenty of success in her personal life, it’s a void that’s hard to heal. However, for a new episode of the reality TV series The Impact Atlanta, she agreed to sit down with him for the first time ever. Moreover, Moneybagg Yo’s flame had a heartfelt but difficult conversation with him, in which they touched on his reasons for absence and her emotions that resulted from it. As such, if these are sensitive topics for you, we suggest you proceed with caution. It’s nothing explicit, too dramatic, or directly harmful, but the emotions are potent.

“My life was really at my job most of the time,” Ari Fletcher’s father reflected at the start of their sit-down. “Like, I worked hella hours. Ten and twelve hour days until you became 18 years old.” With tears in her eyes, the influencer replied, “That don’t mean anything,” which her father disagreed with. Still, she wanted to make it clear that his actions ended up having a huge effect on her that she still holds close to her heart.

“You weren’t there for graduations, you weren’t there for dances, for prom,” Ari Fletcher continued. “I feel like it’s completely missing out on my life.” To explain this, her father said that he was “chasing happiness” for himself at this time, and got too “caught up” in that process. Afterwards, the Chicago native asked her father if he “feels okay now,” which he said is not the case. In addition, she remarked that she’s “off child support” and should “take a shot to that,” and it’s unclear exactly what she meant.

“That’s bulls**t,” the 28-year-old expressed in a post-conversation recording. “I feel like coming here and getting his side and hearing his truth just kind of like a letdown for me.” Her father said that, since he sees her doing well in her endeavors on social media, he sees that she’s “doing alright” despite the lack of communication. We’ll see if this is enough to heal these wounds. For more news and the latest updates on Ari Fletcher, keep checking in with HNHH.

The Game’s Daughter Dons Crop Top For Halloween, Critics Suggest Teen Looks “Too Grown For Her Age”

October 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Besides being a legendary rapper, The Game (born Jayceon Terrell Taylor), is also a father of three – two sons, and a daughter. It’s hard to deny that the West Coast artist is closest with his little girl, California Dream, as she frequently appears on his Instagram. The pair spend plenty of their free time together as a father-daughter duo, and Game is always full of compliments for the 13-year-old – particularly regarding how beautiful she is. For Halloween today (October 31), the “Hate It Or Love It” hitmaker was proud to show off the teen in her sporty costume of the evening, though not all of his followers approve.

“Happy Halloween or whatever… I don’t know what I did, but the good lord is really paying me back through my only daughter. I love this girl with all my heart,” the Compton native gushed. “She is my world…. And as tall, beautiful & as smart as she is…. I miss my little baby who had a lisp & couldn’t dance to save her life lmaooo.” According to Cali’s dad, this is the first year he allowed her to pick her own costume, which she happily collected from Fashion Nova “with her mom’s card.”

While The Game feels that his growing daughter “kept it cute” in her midriff-baring look, haters online beg to differ. “Yeah no. Too grown for her age,” one IG user wrote in @hollywoodunlocked’s comment section. “13?! Dressed like this?!” another asked in shock. “This is keeping it cute for a 16/17 year old, NOT 13.”

“I know millennials not in these comments like y’all didn’t sneak crop tops and short skirts out the house and change at your destination,” someone else pointed out in California’s defense. “How y’all be getting on social acting so holy like we wasn’t 13 before?”

Some Express Concern About Teen’s Crop Top Costume

“Better to allow it than for her to sneak and change later ,” one user seeing things from The Game’s perspective wrote. Do you think California Dream’s crop top costume makes her look too grown? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
