June 4, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Last week comedian Mo’Nique went live on Instagram to explain why she lashed out at fellow comedian DL Hughley while onstage. After her show in Detroit went she blamed the outburst on a decades old beef.

Yesterday, Mo’Nique shared a clip of Hughley admitting he did not believe his own daughter when she told him she was molested. She went live again to address the backlash, insisting it’s a comedians job to leave it all on the stage.

(This is based upon DL’s own words that you just heard.) @realdlhughley When I said “how can DL’s wife suck the d**k of a coward”, this is what I meant. When my husband & I say we have to fight for the little girls coming up behind us & u see DL didn’t believe his own daughter over a friend, because he seemingly likes his friend more than he LOVED HIS OWN DAUGHTER & didn’t want to be bothered by the inconvenient truth. This highlights why the BLACK WOMEN isn’t believed when she publicly speaks about her trauma. What does the BLACK WOMEN & his (DL’s ) BLACK WIFE have coming. Watch who stands with this man & your looking at the same ones who will sit down, when you our sisters are being attacked. I find it funny that DL will call out
ICE CUBE, KANYE, RIZZA ISLAM, ANGELA STANTON, MYSELF ETC., but he won’t call out the name of the person that violated his daughter.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS FOR THE PEOPLE WHO SAID I JUST NEED TO LET THINGS GO!

P.S. Thank you AMEER S.

June 3, 2022 by newhiphopnews

The Hot Girl coach turns up like a Texas heat wave on a July day for her new official video for “Plan B.” Teaming up Mugler, the French fashion house and Megan Thee Stallion bridge the intersection of music and style in a simplistic, sensual and fashionable way.

The “Plan B” visual sees Thee Stallion in a confident and ultramodern setting. Directed by Mugler creative director Casey Cadwadaller and co-directed by John Miserendino. While Cadwallader also created the fierce custom looks that the “Savage” rapper wears throughout the video.

The Houston native enters on a liquid runway wearing a revealing cropped, fitted blazer with black and see-through cutout leggings that accentuate her natural statuesque build.

Next, we then see Meg in a signature Mugler bodysuit with plunging neckline and cheeky slits revealing her snatched waist. The all-black backdrop highlights her accompanying sheer thigh-high tights and pointed black stilettoes as she boldly spits bars over the nostalgic sample of Jodeci’s “Freek’n You (Remix)” featuring Raekwon and Ghostface Killah.

“All them ho*s wanna look like me. (look like me). Bi**h most likely only fu****g you just to spite me (ayy, ayy, just to spite me). But please don’t get it twisted, I ain’t tripping. I never put my faith in a ni**a, bi**h, I’ma die independent (ayy, ayy, woah, woah, woah).”

The body oddy oddy author serves silhouette realness in her third look. Donning an all nude, flesh-toned bodysuit and an adorning, sheer black head covering. Posed like a literal piece of art, Megan left no crumbs.

Towards the end, Megan Thee Stallion pokes it out while rapping in a water scene seemingly completely nude.

June 3, 2022 by newhiphopnews

According to Variety, CEO of 300 Entertainment, Kevin Liles even took the stand and testified that Thug who is signed to his label is “like a son” and he was willing to put up his own wealth and business to secure his bond. Machine Gun Kelly also provided character testimony on Thug’s behalf.

Prosecutors argued he is the head of Young Slime Life. Allegedly a street gang that has committed multiple murders, shootings and carjacking’s over the last decade.

The 56-count indictment includes charges of murder, robbery, witness intimidation, drug and gun possession, drug dealing and carjacking. Other notable YSL rappers were also named in the indictment, including Gunna, who was denied bond last month.

Despite the strong plea from Thug’s defense, the judge sided with the state denying bond, while also citing a possible flight risk. Adding that Thugger would pose a risk of committing additional felonies, as the “top dog” if he were released.

Suspected Tulsa Shooter’s Motive Was Allegedly Back Pain

June 2, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Police say the suspected Tulsa mass shooter complained to his surgeon, Dr. Preston Phillips hours before killing him on the Saint Francis Hospital campus. Tulsa Police Chief Wendell Franklin says the gunman, Michael Louis recently had back surgery and was upset with his doctor because he was still in pain.

Louis was armed with an AR-style rifle, which he used to kill two doctors, a patient, and a receptionist on Wednesday. He then took his own life. According to authorities police say he bought the assault-style rifle the same day as the shooting. A note found on Louis spelled out that his intent was to kill Dr. Phillips, and was furious because there was still pain after his back surgery.

Chief Franklin says it took officers longer than usual to find the suspected shooter because of how big the floor of the hospital was. He said the suspect began firing as soon as he entered the building. One of the victims died holding the back door of the hospital open so others could escape.

Oklahoma Senator James Lankford released a statement saying he’s heartbroken and praying for the families of the victims that were taken during yesterday’s attack. Governor Kevin Stitt called the shooting an act of senseless violence and hatred. Stitt also ordered all flags in Oklahoma to half-staff to honor the victims.

Kanye West is a man with endless ambitions. The hit producer, who morphed into a Grammy Award-winning artist, is already the dominating music and fashion industry, but Ye wants more. It’s reported that Kanye West filed 17 new trademarks all surrounding the Yeezus brand. Mr. West filed trademarks for amusement parks, NFTs, toys, campaign buttons, clothing, cosmetics, and household items.

The news of Kanye filing trademarks for most of these items comes to no surprise seeing that he’s steady taking on new business endeavors. What fans should be surprised about is the trade mark for NFTs. Kanye didn’t hold back when he expressed how he felt about the metaverse. Back in February, Mr. West wrote on Instagram, “Do not ask me to do a f*****g NFT. Ask me later,” Seemingly later is now because according to his new trademarks, Kanye has a future dealing with NFTs.

Along with the new trademarks surrounding the Yeezus brand, Kanye is building a strong roster for his DONDA sports agency. Already he’s partnered with Antonio Brown, signed NFL champion Aaron Donald, and Boston Celtics shooting guard Jaylen Brown just announced his arrival to the squad. “I’m team Ye,” said Brown.

Who knows what Kanye plans on doing with these new ideas, but we’re sure the world wants to know.
