Lil Durk’s 10-Year-Old Son Releases Passionate Statement Of Support Amid His Father’s Arrest

October 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Durk’s arrest has left quite a number of people asking for him to be freed. While he is not convicted yet, they feel the charges are wrong and unjust. Some of it has to do with the simple fact that they don’t want to see their favorite artist behind bars. You can also attribute it to someone allegedly snitching on him to the authorities. That would be alleged OTF member Jam who was recently interrogated. It’s going to be a little while before we get more concrete details, but the people who love and support Durk are making their voices heard.

One of those people is Zayden Banks, the Chicago MC’s 10-year-old son and one of seven children. Well, it may not exactly be him making statements based on the wording. It sounds like it’s work right from Durk’s PR team, but nonetheless, here’s what Zayden had to say. It’s a passionate series of paragraphs as “he” advocates that he’s a great man and father, asks for continued support from the fans, and shouts out the mayor for his speech. “I want to take a moment to stand up for my dad, Durk Banks. He has always dedicated his life to uplifting others and giving back to our community through his organization, Neighborhood Heroes. Beyond that, he is a great father who has always supported and loved our family unconditionally,” Zayden begins.

“During this difficult time, I ask for your support for him and all the good he continues to do. I would also like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the mayor for standing with my dad. His speech was well said and truly reflects the community’s support those who strive to make a positive impact. Thank you, everyone!” As you can imagine, fans are calling BS and dragging Durk’s team for posting this on Zayden’s account. “Get off that baby account he ain’t type all that,” one writes on IG. “Y’all wrong for putting the kids involved in this. This was a bad PR move,” another adds.

What are your thoughts on Lil Durk’s 10-year-old son Zayden’s statement regarding his father’s arrest? Do you think the rapper’s PR team deserves some flak for this move, why or why not? Where do you stand on this incarceration and the allegations? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

LeBron James Reveals What Bronny Can’t Call Him On The Court

August 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The 2024-2025 NBA season is going to have several interesting storylines come and go as every new campaign does. However, one that will constantly be in rotation one way or another is the on-court chemistry between LeBron James and Bronny James. They are the newest father/son duo in the league and arguably the most substantial one in quite some time. The Los Angeles Lakers selected the USC guard with the 55th pick in the 2024 draft, so it will be interesting to see how much playing time he gets in the NBA. Bronny did sign a four-year, $7.9 million deal with a team option on the final year of his contract.

Part of those chemistry questions are less serious than others, like what Bronny will be calling LeBron on the court. But nonetheless, we have the answer to that question thanks to Bossip. According to them, the future Hall-of-Famer revealed this information in a preview of the upcoming episode of The Shop. Overall, LeBron wants to keep things as professional as possible, which means that Bronny will not be calling him dad. “[He] cannot call me dad in the workplace. Once we leave out the private facility and the gates close, I could be dad again [and], in the car, if we ride together, at home I could be dad”, the Lakers forward said.

LeBron James Wants Things To Be Professional Between Him & Bronny

“We cannot be running down the court, and he’d be like, ‘Dad, push the ball up! Dad, I’m open! Dad, come on!’”. So, what can Bronny call his dad while they are at work? In typical Bron fashion, he’s got some hilariously corny answers. “He got to call me like ‘2-3’ or ‘Bron’ or, you know, ‘GOAT’ if he want to. It’s up to him”. With a topic as big as this, you know fans are going to be all over it, and boy have they been. A lot of them came prepared jokes and here are a couple that we had to point out. “”LeDad im open””. ““Aye, Dad swing the rock” would be COMEDY ”.

What are your thoughts on LeBron James wanting to keep things professional between him and Bronny while at work? Is this a reasonable thing of him to request, why or why not? How do you think his son will do in his first NBA campaign? 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 LeBron James and Bronny James. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the sports world.

XXXTENTACION’s Killer Laughs At Rapper’s Son After Gekyume Pays Tribute To His Late Father

April 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

When XXXTENTACION was killed, not only did he leave behind millions of fans to mourn, but the young star also said an untimely goodbye to his son. Gekyume Onfroy is now five years old, and though we don’t see much of him in the public eye, updates do surface every now and then to show us how X’s son is learning and growing without his father physically by his side. Sadly, the latest one is going viral thanks to a tactless reaction from one of the “Jocelyn Flores” artist’s killers.

The initial footage of young Onfroy is heartwarming, showing him leading another man through his house to show off photos of XXXTENTACION. “That’s my dad!” he excitedly says while showing off a framed image of the Florida native performing. “Do you wanna see another picture of my dad?” X’s song happily asks, leading the way toward another happy memory. “Have you showed me these before?” a voice behind the camera asks, suggesting Onfroy has a lot of pride in his father, even though they didn’t get to spend much time together.

YMT Boatwright Appears to Laugh at XXXTENTACION’s Son’s Pain

When YMT Boatwright, one of the men responsible for taking X’s life, got hold of the video, he couldn’t resist reposting it on Instagram. Rather than feeling remorseful for his actions, it seems like the “” emojis he wrote alongside the video suggest he feels very proud to have left the young boy without a father.

XXXTENTACION’s 2018 death feels like it happened only yesterday. Even all this time later, new information regarding the tragedy continues to come out, such as this month’s autopsy report reveal. Not everyone was happy to see the details of their favourite rapper’s death be shared with the public, though some gained closure from a more clear understanding of what happened. Read all about that at the link below, and check back in with HNHH later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Diddy’s Son Removes Face Tattoo After Negative Feedback

February 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s stepson Quincy Brown may make some impulsive decisions from time to time, but at least he owns up to them when he’s “wrong.” Moreover, social media followers recently clowned him for a new face tattoo he got under his left eye that spells out “Perfect.” Apparently, the singer and actor is really about fan reception and democracy, because on Wednesday (February 21), he shared the process of going to get his ink removed via laser treatment. “I’ve read the comments,” he captioned his update on the platform. “Thank Q for y’all’s honesty. Thank Q @aestheticqueenco you the people’s champ!”

Furthermore, a lot of people also debated whether Quincy’s tattoo was real in the first place, or if this was all just for content on social media. But the fact that he apparently did this just because of negative feedback puts this into question, because it’s not like he made a mountain out of a molehill. Still, if Brown really did get the tattoo, then why would he care about what others have to say in the first place -– especially on the Internet? Regardless of all that, it’s not the wildest thing that Diddy’s extended family has been up to as of late, as King Combs had to fight off gang claims and backlash.

Quicy Removes His Face Tat: Watch

A post shared by Quincy (@quincy)

Sadly, everything emerging around the Combs family falls under a dark shroud these days thanks to the alleged sexual misconduct of Diddy. While his legal cases continue to develop and mount pressure, his extended family has not said much of the whole ordeal. Quincy himself remains quite tight-lipped on the matter, although this could change depending on whether Sean Combs re-enters the music industry soon. For the sake of the whole family, it seems like quite the sensitive topic to tackle through anything other than a joint effort.

Meanwhile, as the guilt and weight of these accusations continue to fall under public and legal scrutiny, Diddy’s stepson’s antics in the media will likely continue. After all, life goes on, and there’s so little we know about these cases to begin with. We’ll see what the rest of 2024 holds in this regard. For more news and the latest updates on Quincy, stick around on HNHH.

Killer Mike Reveals Son’s Kidney Transplant Went Smoothly: Report

February 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Killer Mike’s son, Mikael “Pony Boy” Render, has just undergone a successful kidney transplant after waiting three long years to find one. This update comes courtesy of TMZ and numerous other sources. This all went down hours after Mike’s successful outing at the 66th GRAMMY Awards. He would take three of the four rap categories for his first solo album in over a decade with MICHAEL. If Killer Mike’s son being rushed to the hospital for the procedure was not enough, he was also arrested on the premises of the award show.

He physically got into it with security at the Crypto.com Arena and he recently released a statement that things got a little out of hand. But, he thinks everything should be fine on that end. While that is a bit of an uncertainty, Killer Mike’s son’s health is for sure on the up and up. Mike told TMZ that “Pony” “did really well.” He says Pony will be in recovery for a few hours before he’s moved back to his hospital room, but they’re already seeing some positive signs — Mike says it “looks like the kidney is already working.”

Additionally, Mike revealed that his 21-year-old boy will be in recovery for a few hours. However, the doctors are seeing tremendous progress. The Atlanta rapper says that it “looks like the kidney is already working.” While Killer Mike did say he was “elated” when they found a match, we can only imagine the stress. We wish his son a speedy recovery going forward.

What are your thoughts on Killer Mike’s son and his kidney transplant going well? Is this a sign that things will clear up for the Grammy-winning rapper? Are you still shocked he was arrested at the award show? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Killer Mike.

Lil Wayne’s Kids Meet Queen Latifah While Sitting Courtside: Watch

January 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Wayne has been among the top-performing artists in rap for decades, and throughout that time he’s curated all kinds of friendships. As a Libra, it makes sense that his social circle is wide-spanning, and the “Lollipop” rapper rarely involves himself in beef. Instead, he likes to pour energy into expanding his massive discography, supporting the up-and-coming Young Money artists, and spending time with his children. Most recently, Weezy brought a few of his sons to sit courtside while the Lakers were playing. Earlier this month it was Kameron and Reginae Carter supporting the team from their coveted seats, but earlier this week he brought out 15-year-old Dwayne and 13-year-old Neal to join him.

Having a famous father comes with plenty of perks (such as frequent courtside seats), including meeting his array of friends. While sitting with Wayne, his teenage boys were lucky enough to cross paths with Queen Latifah, who confidently shook both of their hands. The Hairspray actress looked comfortable but classy in her black sweatsuit, slicked-back bun, and large hoop earrings. The Carter family was looking fresh too, clearly taking after Wayne’s bold style already.

As the video is circulating online, some are calling out Neal and Dwayne for not standing up to address Latifah. “My kids would have stood up for the Queen,” one user quipped under @HipHopDX’s post. “Them kids don’t even know how historic of a hand they were shaking, smh,” another chimed in, suggesting that Weezy’s kids are lacking in their hip-hop history knowledge.

Even if Lil Wayne’s sons are ignorant of Queen Latifah’s legacy, as social media seems to suspect, she’s still been getting plenty of flowers as of late. In 2023 she became the first-ever femcee to be honoured by the Kennedy Center, at which time Missy Elliott and Rapsody headlined her tribute show. Read more about that iconic moment at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Tory Lanez Gets Prison Visit From His Son

January 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tory Lanez is still fighting to reverse his legal case from behind bars, but at least unfruitful and unwarranted endeavors found balance with family. Moreover, TMZ reports that his six-year-old son Kai recently visited him in prison for two weekends straight after not being able to spend the holidays together at all. Their alleged source is Ceasar McDowell, a member of the rapper and singer’s legal team and CEO of Unite The People, who spoke to the publication. For those unaware, Lanez is currently at California Correctional Institution Tehachapi and is about four months into his 10-year sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in the foot.

Furthermore, an undisclosed family member took Kai to the facility, and Tory Lanez spoke to his son right upfront, not from behind a glass wall. They reportedly sat at a table for about 4-5 hours on Saturday and Sunday on both weekends and played board games, drew, and got some vending machine snacks. It wasn’t quite the extravagant meal that the Canadian artist got for Christmas, but surely a memorable and enjoyable bite nonetheless, especially with the world’s most important company. Apparently, McDowell relayed that Tory loved seeing his son after no holiday time, despite the fact that they communicate frequently regardless of physical interactions.

In fact, Tory Lanez showed Kai to the world quite often during his court case, as he took him to trial on various occasions throughout 2022. We all know how it turned out, and no matter which side you fall on with that debate, it’s still quite relevant and important to discuss and evaluate. For example, one of the trial’s most prolific journalists, Meghann Cuniff, recently released merch inspired by Tory’s insults towards her. As such, we’ve seen how, as the factual legal case wrapped up, the court of public opinion remains open long after.

Meanwhile, a recently surfaced picture of him in prison shows him in good spirits. We’ll see if there are any more direct or indirect updates on the 31-year-old’s general state and legal status. At least family is never too far away. For more news on Tory Lanez, come back to HNHH.

DDG Claims Ignorance Over “Halo” Bar In His Freestyle Referencing His Son

January 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DDG and Halle Bailey recently welcomed their first son into the world, Halo, and fans couldn’t be happier to hear the news. Moreover, this follows months of speculation, gossip, and rumors about whether she was pregnant or not, which they had fun clowning and responding to in vague and mostly dismissive ways. However, a recent freestyle of the rapper’s has fans pointing to a specific reference to his newborn child. “Silver spoon kid, I know Halo don’t want for nothing,” he raps on “Darryl Freestyle.” “He crying, his momma coming, she stronger than Wonder Woman.” Of course, fans had questions about this even before Halle announced their baby’s birth.

On Snapchat, DDG decided to answer some fan questions as he typically does across his social media platforms. One listener asked about this Halo bar, and he went on to claim ignorance when it comes to spitting about his “biggest blessing.” “What bar?” the Michigan native told the camera in response. “You talking about the freestyle that just dropped? I didn’t hear that. I did not hear that bar. Y’all gon’ tell me if I’m tripping.” As such, a lot of fans probably proceeded to point it out to him, or he’s just keeping his trolling up even more.

Furthermore, this is far from the first time that DDG and Halle Bailey decided to be a bit more secretive and jest-heavy when it comes to their family. They had to deal with a lot of presumptions and theories that flooded their accounts, and even if fans were right, it’s heartening that they took this pretty lightly instead of in combative fashion. For example, he recently posted a picture of himself with a baby doll and claimed to announce his “daughter.” Maybe in the next few weeks, the couple will continue to joke with supporters and create more buzz around this mystery.

Meanwhile, this is a wholesome and celebratory occasion that’s perfect to commemorate their second anniversary. We wish them and their pride and joy Halo the best health and happiness for 2024 and beyond. Hopefully they can now focus on their careers and their bond instead of dealing with the rumor mill. For more news and the latest updates on DDG and Halle Bailey, stick around on HNHH.

Chrisean Jr. Isn’t Blueface’s Son, MILF Music Founder Maintains

January 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The streets will tell you that Blueface is a father of three, but according to him, only two of those little ones are his. Javaughn and Journey, who the Californian shares with Jaidyn Alexis, are at the top of his priority list as he and the MILF Music signee navigate their apparent breakup and co-parenting situation. She sounds excited to be enjoying the single life, meanwhile, social media users are picking up on a bitter tone in Blue’s voice lately.

During a recent interview, the “Thotiana” artist was asked about his youngest child, Junior, who Chrisean Rock gave birth to last September. The infant’s life has been nothing short of chaotic in recent months, from Blueface posting an NSFW image of his medical condition online to trolls comparing the baby boy to Charles Barkley. “@theneighborhoodtalk, man, I see y’all always throwing shade. What’s up with that? What’s that about?,” he called out the gossip blog, known for chronicling the rollercoaster of his relationships in the video below.

Blueface Continues to Deny Chrisean Rock’s Son

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

“Naw, it’s serious. Scientifically proven,” Blue told the outlet during their chat at the Creators Inc. NYE event. He was, of course, continuing to deny his paternity of Rock’s baby. In the comments, some are wondering why Jonathan Porter continues to obsess over his Cr*zy In Love co-star if Chrisean’s namesake isn’t really his. “If it ain’t your son why won’t [you] leave the momma alone? [You] have no ties at this point,” one user points out.

As Blueface continues to deny the role he played in creating Junior’s life, his mother remains confident that the 26-year-old and Megan Thee Stallion are fixing to reunite. In 2023, Blue told Jason Lee that he and the femcee previously hooked up, at which time he “might’ve got some head.” Now. Karlissa Saffold is rooting her son on as he shoots his shot by following Meg on IG. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

How Many Kids Does Kodak Black Have? Rapper’s Next Baby Boy Arriving In 2024

December 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kodak Black was lucky enough to earn a pardon from President Donald Trump in 2018. However, that hasn’t been enough to stop the Back For Everything artist from landing in the slammer again. Yak’s most recent arrest came earlier this week, when police allege they caught him swallowing a bag of cocaine. According to the rapper, no bodycam footage shows evidence of that, and he maintains that he was using other substances at the time, but not those specifically stated in the police report.

On Instagram Live, Black addressed many of his fans’ questions about the situation, while also sharing some exciting news. “They said you need a wife, boy, I got one! Me and my fiancee are having a baby boy in two months,” the 26-year-old excitedly told viewers ahead of the holiday season. He’s already a father of three other children – one boy and two girls and seems eager to create generational wealth for all of them.

“That s**t [wild]. I’m like tryna get my quota too, b**ch. The f**k?” he added after, seemingly returning back to rumours of his drug use. Elsewhere during his first IG Live session since being arrested again, Kodak made it abundantly clear that he’s not here for being called a “junkie” by online critics. According to the Floridian, he was only on lean at the time of his arrest, asleep in front of his family home. No matter what police are saying, he totally denies having anything to do with cocaine.

“If that s**t was… I don’t think I’d even be able to speak to y’all right now. Wouldn’t even be on land right now,” the embattled star continued to rant, sounding kind of confused. “First off, a ni**a would’ve died, or been dead by now,” he said with a laugh.
