Kodak Black’s Youngest Child Set To Arrive Following Prison Release

February 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Before former U.S. President Donald Trump left the White House in 2020, one of the last official moves he made was pardoning Back For Everything rapper Kodak Black. Hip-hop heads were somewhat shocked by this decision. They’ve been even more surprised to see how recklessly the Florida native has moved at times since. He’s been arrested for things like drug possession and trespassing in recent years. The former unfortunately landed him behind bars before 2023 came to a close. At the time, Yak was accused of having cocaine on his person. Thanks to attorney Bradford Cohen’s tireless work, the judge agreed that it was Oxycodone – a medication that the rhymer has a prescription for.

After the charges were dropped Black still wasn’t immediately released. On Wednesday (February 21), cameras caught footage of the controversial entertainer on his way home. Yak eager to reconnect with his loved ones and get back to business as usual in the studio. Elsewhere, he’s also expecting his fourth child to arrive later this week. Baby mama Maranda Johnson, who the “Love & War” artist already shares a two-year-old daughter with, has been holding it down in his absence, and her Instagram is full of stunning maternity photos pleading with authorities to free her baby daddy.

As XXL notes, Cohen spoke about his famous client’s release in a statement on social media yesterday. “In [typical] Kodak fashion, he just pledged to donate to the college fund of a 2-year-old and a 5-month-old, whose father was a Minnesota officer killed recently in the line of duty,” the attorney praised Yak. “Expecting his 2nd son this Friday, he knows how important family is and hopes it helps relieve some burden.” Besides the unborn addition to his family with Johnson, Black already has two other children.

Kodak Black’s supporters are happy to see him embracing life as a free man again. Still, the rapper was less than pleased with the number of people watching him leave prison after successfully having his drug possession charges thrown out.

NBA YoungBoy Poses With His Kids Following Controversial Fatherhood Comments

February 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

NBA YoungBoy has shared of series of pictures of himself posing with his kids in matching outfits on Instagram. In the caption, he remarked: “Aye ask where the rest my kids at.” His post comes after making controversial comments on fatherhood on The Bootleg Kev Podcast, last month.

At the time, Kev praised him for appearing to be a good parent, but YoungBoy took issue with the compliment. “I’m not really big on it to be honest,” he admitted in response. “This is a crazy topic because I’m not the type to sugar coat nothing, but I’m four walls everyday.” Expectedly, he faced plenty of backlash online for the remark.

Charlamagne Tha God was one of the many voices to criticize YoungBoy for the admission. In turn, he labeled him his “Donkey of the Day” on The Breakfast Club. “He has 11 kids, but in his words, he’s ‘not really big’ on fatherhood,” he said. “NBA YoungBoy is treating fatherhood the way the NBA’s Nikola Jokić treats the NBA. You ever hear Jokić talk about basketball? The same level of don’t-give-a-eff that Jokić has about basketball, NBA YoungBoy seems to have about being a father to his 11 kids. I shouldn’t have to tell y’all that one of those things is not like the other, okay?” YoungBoy appears to be taking a step in the right direction with his latest Instagram post. Check it out below.

With one of YoungBoy son’s climbing on the rapper’s lap, Kev described him as a “great father” and asked how important fatherhood is to him. “I’m not really big on it to be honest,” he admitted in response. “This is a crazy topic because I’m not the type to sugar coat nothing, but I’m four walls everyday.”

Fans were not happy with the admission. Responding to a clip of the interview from NoJumper, one user remarked: “Dude has 0 talent. I blame all you idiots who have no ear for good music.” Another wrote: “Why would he be ashamed of this when literally nobody holds him accountable and there will always be women ready to give him another one???” Check out YoungBoy’s full comments on fatherhood below.

How Many Kids Does Boosie Badazz Have? 41-Year-Old Still Desires To Expand His Huge Family

November 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Because Boosie Badazz willingly shares so much of himself with the world on social media and in his music, it’s not surprising that family drama also becomes our problem more often than not. Not only does the 41-year-old have a large group of children to care for, but he also has strained relationships with some of their mothers, resulting in mounting tension. In a recent VladTV interview, Boosie called his daughter Tori’s mom “evil” after she decided to press harassment charges against him. Besides that tough situation, the “Wipe Me Down” hitmaker also has seven other young ones to worry about.

Even with such a big family, Boosie said in another chat with Vlad that he’s not ready to stop having kids yet. Instead of getting seriously involved with another woman, or spinning the block with an ex, the embattled star shared earlier in 2023 that he’s seeking out a surrogate to have his ninth baby. “Well, at one point, my lil baby, my boo, she ain’t wanna have a baby for me,” Badazz told the journalist.

“A lot of stuff was going down. I mean, she was at a point when she was taking off with her career, so she didn’t wanna be pregnant,” he continued. At this point, Vlad chimed in with a quip about Sexyy Red expecting another child as she reaches new heights of superstardom, leading both men to laugh. “I had to start looking for a surrogate, man, and I done had a few meetings with some of them, but, I don’t want to put a baby in just anyone,” Boosie added, on a more serious note.

So far through their working relationship, there’s little that we haven’t heard Boosie Badazz speak with DJ Vlad about. Earlier this fall, the Louisana native alleged that he makes $500K annually for his interviews with the journalist, causing the latter to launch a GoFundMe in hopes of securing help with Boosie’s fee for 2024. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

October 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week, Gucci Man released his new double album Breath Of Fresh Air. The album has a feature-packed tracklist including Lil Baby, Young Dolph, J. Cole, Key Glock, DaBaby, 21 Savage, Roddy RIcch, Nardo Wick, Kodak Black, and many more. The album cover sees Gucci standing alongside his family and that’s an appropriate image for the album. Thematically he talks a lot about embracing family and fatherhood throughout the project and he’s doubled down on those thoughts in interviews.

He sat down with Streetz Atlanta to talk about how his motivation has changed as he’s gotten older. “I was like, basically, I’ma roll this album out, and this gon’ be the discography of Gucci in 2023, with my little girl, and my boy. So now when I look back 10 years from now, I say okay, this where I was at,” Gucci Mane begins. “These the songs I made, this what was on my mind, and that’s where Breath of Fresh Air, like take your time. Enjoy your family. And just express that instead of like, talking about — not even the same stuff I talk about — but the same stuff I hear people talk about. Show people you can talk about other things, you know what I’m saying? It’s cool to have a family. It’s cool to have dinner at home.” Check out the full interview below.

Gucci Mane On What’s Cool About Family

Breath Of Fresh Air is Gucci Mane’s first new album since 2021 Ice Daddy. He celebrated the release of the album earlier this week with a special release show in Atlanta. Gucci has become so ingrained in the culture of Atlanta that the city even recently named an entire day after the rapper.

Earlier this week, in conjunction with the release of his new album, Gucci Mane Day was officially declared in Atlanta. October 17 is the rapper’s official day going forward in Atlanta. It’s the same day that was recently named after Usher in Las Vegas. What do you think of Gucci Mane’s thoughts on fatherhood and being a family man? Let us know in the comment section below.

Blueface Under Investigation By Child Protective Services, Police Called To Rapper’s Home Nine Times Since May

September 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Since Chrisean Rock gave birth to her namesake earlier this month, her baby daddy, Blueface, has been carefully watching her every move online. More specifically, he’s seeking out any opportunity to criticize the 23-year-old. The father of three obviously found plenty to complain about. Still, as many have been trying to point out, he’s not so innocent either. Blue has made bold claims about Chrisean Jr. being inappropriately touched by other family members while in his mother’s care. He even said that he plans to drug test the infant to secure custody for him and Jaidyn Alexis.

This tormenting clearly got Rock in her feelings. However, karma is on her side, as the “Thotiana” artist is under a Child Protective Services investigation, according to TMZ. On Sunday (September 10), the outlet reported that sheriff’s deputies have made trips to Blueface’s Los Angeles home a total of nine times since May. The most noteworthy call they received was actually regarding the viral video of him and Alexis filming something in their home with strippers, which they had their young sons also in the house for.

Blueface’s Past Antics Are Coming Back to Haunt Him

But this is okay ? Hmmm…. Her kids running around the house and she got half naked strippers in the living room …. She nor Blueface can even control their son because of their bad parenting . That child has seen too much. pic.twitter.com/NEMi2fRsuD

DCFS is reportedly at a standstill right now, as no one answered the door or phone upon their arrival. Other complaints linked to Blue’s residence include loud noise, music, and excessively barking dogs. As for the reality star’s San Fernando Valley party house, neighbours have previously been bothered by rowdy parties and fights. There’s no word of his children ever showing up there.

Their parenting skills are often called into question. Nevertheless, no one can doubt Jaidyn Alexis and Blueface’s drive to profit off of their haters. On Saturday (September 9) the controversial couple shared their new single, “Post Opp,” which already has the internet doing plenty of talking. Check out the NSFW music video at the link below, and tap back in later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Drake & Lil Yachty Troll Each Other’s Parenting Under Drizzy’s Adorable Adonis Post

August 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Drake is always a proud father online, and recently posted some adorable content with his son Adonis on his Instagram. Moreover, the post includes a clip of Drizzy getting his mom a new watch, and asking his five-year-old why he said he doesn’t want it (it’s apparently too expensive). In addition, he also included a picture of him tending to Adonis’ braids, which actually caught the attention of one of his famous friends. Lil Yachty hit the comments with a funny message: “It’s no way your sitting here acting like your braiding his hair for the internet.” In his equally comical response, the Canadian superstar went perhaps a little harder that he had to on the Atlanta pioneer out of context.

“I was unbraiding it b***h,” Drake replied in the comments section of his adorable IG post. “Your son said you ain’t hit him in 6 months on his finsta he said he need some Jordans and a backpack for school.” For the sake of Yachty and his son (who we’re not sure if he even exists), we hope that the 6 God is mostly joking. Maybe he meant to refer to his daughter and not a son, but even then, she would be about two years old as of this comments exchange.

Regardless, it was still pretty funny to see these two best friends go back and forth over what should’ve been just a normally wholesome post. Of course, it’s far from the first time they’ve teased each other online, although they hadn’t involved their parenting skills for a long time. For example, Lil Yachty had a hilarious response to the following Drake-written caption on Instagram. “Least you can do is introduce me to the new you or the old clone or whatever she’s called,” he captioned. “But you expected me to know who she was all along. They used to banish ppl from towns for things smaller then what you’re on.”

“Y’all what do dis n***a be talkin bout?!” Lil Yachty responded. “Load of blabber!!!! am I right [!?].” We’ll see what other online antics these two and their kids get up to in the future. For more news and the latest updates on Lil Yachty and Drake, come back to HNHH.

July 5, 2023 by newhiphopnews

NLE Choppa took to his Instagram today to tell his followers that he isn’t a deadbeat dad. He made a post that included numerous pictures and videos of him with his daughter. The pair are seen hugging, going on a trip, and in one video Choppa’s daughter playfully slaps him. The caption clarifies why he made the post. “Deadbeat, Bad Dad, Awful Parent, Narcissistic Photo Dump I AM, NOT .” His fans in the comments seemed to agree. Dozens of the post’s top comments identify their favorite moments, mostly the adorable slap. “why she slap the sh*t outta you,”says one commenter. “the slap n the “googoo gaga” is cute aslll,” says another.

NLE Choppa’s social media presence has gotten quite a bit of attention recently. Yesterday, he mused on following in the footsteps of artists like Dr. Dre and selling his musical catalog. While Choppa seemed to think he could sell his catalog for $1 billion, many fans disputed that number. The skeptics seemed to be proven right when Nelly, whose discography includes four number-one singles, sold for just $50 million earlier today.

All day today NLE Choppa has been battling fans on social media. Last night he posted a video showing his support for rapper Sexyy Red. The pair collaborated on a remix of Choppa’s hit song “Slut Me Out.” Despite him not mincing words in his endorsement of the breakout star, fans still took issue. In fact, comments left by fans critiquing his parenting are part of what led him to make the Instagram post with his daughter today.

NLE Choppa released his new album Cottonwood 2 earlier this year. The album featured guest verses from 2rare, Lil Wayne, Lola Brooke, Fivio Foreign, Kevin Gates, G Herbo, Rick Ross, and more.

Dave East & Papoose Discuss Fatherhood & Postpartum Depression

May 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Dave East and Papoose recently sat down for a conversation to discuss fatherhood, postpartum depression, and more for the second episode of Listen To Black Men. Speaking with CassiusLife and MadameNoire, the two New York artists explained how a relationship changes once kids get involved.

“Once kids come into play, it ain’t the same situation,” Dave East said. “It ain’t just you coming home and we fuck. It’s never the same. It’s a big girl and little girl, I can’t just come in the spot butt-naked, out the shower, ‘Wassup baby. What we doing?’”

Dave East With His Daughter, Kairi Chanel

“When a woman gives birth, it’s a big deal,” Papoose added. “I think that as a man, you gotta understand what your woman just went through and you really gotta be patient and roll out that red carpet and you really gotta play a whole different role. I mean she just had a baby. You can’t expect her to go to the fucking club.”

Dave East has two daughters with Millie Colon, born in 2016 and 2020. Papoose has two children with his ex-girlfriend, Yvetta Lashley, who were born in 1996 and 1999. Additionally, Papoose and Remy Ma welcomed their first child back in 2018. The couple celebrated their 15th wedding anniversary, last week. “Happy ‘FIFTEENTH YEAR’ year wedding anniversary to my beautiful, smart, wife!!” Papoose wrote at the time on Instagram. “Woww We’ve laughed together, cried together, lost together, won together. Through it all we stayed ‘TOGETHER.’ Togetherness/unity is powerful! She’s the best wife a man could ask for. Make sure y’all wish her well. God is the greatest!! #15 #blacklove.”

Dave East & Papoose Discuss Fatherhood

Elsewhere on the show, Papoose explained his views on marriage. “When you get married, you take wedding vows. He has to honor his queen. If she disagrees with something, he has to take her perspective into consideration going forward. He can’t just totally disregard her point of view,” he said. “Happy wife, happy life.”
