[WATCH] Keith Murray Says Biggie Would “Still Be Alive Today” If He Listened To His Warning To Leave L.A. The Day He Died

January 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Def Squad member Keith Murray has recently come out with stories about several 90s rappers including Foxy Brown, Kurupt, DMX and even himself. Now, Murray has gone out on a limb and said that if the Notorious B.I.G. would’ve listened to him when he warned him about leaving L.A., Murray believes that Biggie would still be alive today.

In his recent Art Of Dialogue interview, “The Most Beautifulest” rapper said that he was with Biggie on March 9, 1997 and said that the two held a convo just hours before the Vibe afterparty following the Soul Train Awards, which is the focal point of where the Notorious B.I.G., Puffy, Lil Cease and the rest of the entourage were leaving when B.I.G. was shot and killed.

“I said, ‘Big, you know they do not like you out here. Leave! Come back another time,’” Murray said. “Muthafuckas will walk up and shoot people, literally. Walk up and shoot with AKs and kill people. Muthafuckas was shooting each other left and right with no problem, you feel me?”

He continued, “I’m in the car with Biggie and he’s asking me this. I said ‘Leave, Big.’ If he woulda left, it woulda blew over. And I felt Biggie Smalls woulda been alive to this day.”

See the interview excerpt below.

January 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Several videos which have now went viral show Buffalo safety Damar Hamlin take a hard helmet to the chest during the Bills game vs. Cincinnati and soon after collapsed on the field, temporarily suspending the game.

Hamlin suddenly fell to the ground after tackling receiver Tee Higgins, which required the 24-year-old safety to receive CPR and send both teams back int the locker room until further notice just 5:58 into the first quarter. The play came on a second-and-3 play from the Cincinnati 39-yard line. Higgins caught a pass from Joe Burrow for 13 yards and appeared to have his hemet hit Hamlin in the chest.

If this game resumes on Monday night, it was billed as a heavyweight matchup between two AFC contenders with the No. 1 seed hanging in the balance. Cincinnati was able to go on a 75-yard touchdown drive on its opening possession, while Buffalo managed a field goal before the game ultimately was paused following the Hamlin injury.

[WATCH] Buffalo NY Woman Saves Stranger Dying In Blizzard

January 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Sha’Kyra Aughtry has been deemed a hero after saving a elderly stranger in the buffalo blizzard that reached 51 inches.

Aughtry and her boyfriend helped bring Joe White into their home saving his life after he got stuck walking home in the storm. He was crying for help when Aughtry heard him. He had “big ice balls” and gangrene on his hands. The mother of three panned the video camera to show White’s injuries. She explained she had to cut the handles of a shopping bag White was carrying that had become stuck to his hands. She also used wire cutters to cut a ring piercing through his skin. The man had a disability and his condition appeared to be deteriorating so went on Facebook live to ask for assistance. The good Samaritan showed herself feeding white and pleading for help.

“I currently have [an] older 64-year-old white man in my house. I found him yesterday. I heard him screaming for help on my street. I’m looking out the window, when I looked out the window, he was getting blown up and down the street. It was out of control,” Aughtry said in her 15-minute live video.

“He needs medical attention!” Aughtry pleaded. “I’ve had this man since 6:37 in the morning of the 24th.”

Aughtry used a blow dryer to melt ice off of Joe’s hands

Less than an hour after her first live post, Aughtry shared another live video, showing several men she referred to as good Samaritans helping her transport White to the Erie County Medical Center near her home.

“I got some guys just carrying him right now. I just want to show you all that I wasn’t exaggerating. They came in, they plowed out my house. They getting him in [to a waiting truck], I’m right here Joe” Aughtry shared as she rode to the hospital with Joes. White mustered to say ‘I love you’ to Aughtry to which she replied,’I love you too sweetie!’

Strangers have donated over $261K for Aughtry and White.
An online fundraiser for Sha’Kyra Aughtry has raised over $168,000 while another fundraiser for Joe White has raised over $94,000 in just three days.

Sha’Kyra Aughtry is an excellent example of pure unadulterated love.
Would you do the same?

Is Kanye West Missing? Concern Grows As Law firm Can’t Reach Megastar

January 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West is said to be missing after his lawyers can’t reach him to inform him that he’s dropped as a client. The law firm dropped the rapper after his antisemitic rants.

West went missing sometime last month. His former business manager, who is suing him for $4.5 million, said in court that he hasn’t spoken to Ye in weeks.

But most surprisingly, Ye allegedly missed spending the Christmas holidays with his four children– 9-year-old daughter North, son Saint, 7, daughter Chicago, 4, and 3-year-old son, Psalm.

Friends say he would never miss spending the holidays with his kids who he loves dearly. Greenberg Traurig LLP, which represented West until recently, told Insider magazine that the law firm can’t find West to tell him they’ve dropped him as a client.

Legally they must formally notify West that they no longer represent him. But they are unable to locate him. In a December 12 letter to a federal judge reviewed by Insider, an attorney for the firm told the judge they were unable to reach him.

The judge, Analisa Torres, said the law firm can’t officially cut ties with Kanye until they hand him her court order allowing them to withdraw as his attorneys of record. This is troubling news for Ye’s fans who are growing more worried as time passes with still no word from him.
Has anybody seen Kanye?

[WATCH] ‘Waffle House Wendy’ Fired A Year After Fight Video Goes Viral

January 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In case you missed it, social media has been entertained all week by the fight between customers and employees at Waffle House.

While the fight actually occurred in 2021, the video resurfaced online in late December 2022 resulting in one of the employees getting fired.

In the video, a customer is seen attacking employees while they defend themselves. One customer climbed on top of the counter while others threw items including even a chair. She was then in for a surprise when one employee caught a chair that was thrown at her.

After the video went viral many joked about the training at Waffle House. Even the legendary Wonder Woman herself, Lynda Carter, was impressed enough to share a video of herself making firewood out of a chair.

Although the employee who caught the chair was defending herself, Wendy was terminated when the video went viral – more than a year after the fight.

According to Wendy, she was quietly terminated and told to turn in her smock and name badge after the video went viral. She started out as a short order cook before being promoted to shift manager 8 months ago. Now she is on the unemployment line. Wendy was also “blacklisted” by Waffle House to prevent her from working at another Waffle House in America. Wendy, a.k.a. @witchdragon5, popped up on Twitter on Dec. 30 to inform her growing fan club that she was terminated for defending herself.

Do you think the punishment was fair?

Co-Defendant In XXXTentacion Murder Says Drake, DJ Akademiks Must Be Subpoenaed To Trial

January 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

XXXTentacion’s 2018 murder in South Florida will soon see justice with a January 9, 2023 trial date, however, the request by one of the co-defendants accused of the killing to subpoena Drake has intensified, with his lawyer filing a formal request to have Drake and DJ Akademiks testify in court claiming their alleged involvement.

Mauricio Padilla, the attorney for Dedrick Williams, one of the four men accused of fatally shooting XXXTentacion, submitted a request to Broward County Circuit Judge Michael Usan to have Drake and DJ Akademiks subpoenaed to court. The submitted document says, “The testimony of the said Aubrey Drake Graham is material to the case, and it is necessary to take the deposition of the said Aubrey Drake Graham to prevent the failure of justice.”

It was well known that Drake and XXXTencion had beef before his death, with X accusing Drizzy of stealing his style and now Williams’ attorney alleges that Drake spoke on X’s murder in the song “On BS”. Padilla added Akademiks to his subpoena list because he says that Ak speaks on the case regularly on his platform. “Mr. Allen, who goes by the stage name ‘DJ Akademiks,’ posted his podcast on December 21, where he openly discusses the case, acknowledges being served, and states, ‘I am not showing up to court to talk to y’all n****s.’ It is clear that nothing short of a court order will ensure Mr. Allen’s participation in a deposition,” read the request.

The trial begins a week from today. TheSource.com will update this story as details develop.
