Kelsey Nicole & Megan Thee Stallion Drama Continues As Nicki Minaj Reacts To Former’s “Big Foot” Remix

January 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The falling out between Kelsey Nicole and Megan Thee Stallion has been one of the most publicized moments of the Hot Girl Coach’s career so far, as it came hand-in-hand with the charges pressed against Tory Lanez for shooting her in the foot. That trial was nothing short of a gong show, but all this time later, it’s evident that Nicole still has bad blood toward her former bestie. After Nicki Minaj shared her controversial “Big Foot” diss track aimed at the Houston native, her op was quick to tap her producer to remix the song to bring more negative attention to Meg.

Upon hearing the snippet Nicole’s been teasing online, the Queen of Rap shared a tweet praising her and her collaborators. “Oh I am moving to THIS hunty!!!!! Lemme get this up as an alternate version ASAP chiiii. Might call it: Kelsey’s Revenge,” she wrote over a GIF of Wendy Williams.

“Stop hating! We working!” Nicole told social media earlier this week as criticism came flooding in. “Watch how this make mfs tap into the city for real! I was grinding in the city [before] I got on that road. Those that been watching me since 2017 know! When I was on the road, y’all’s s**t was getting turned down every time I tried to make s**t happen for y’all! I had to find nice ways to tell y’all it ain’t work out,” she ranted on her Instagram Story.

“I had to say certain things for the H-town legends to even be acknowledged for real! So yea, [shoutout] everyone that turned their back on me, f**k y’all… Respectfully. Can’t dim my mf light! This s**t is in my blood! And I don’t owe anyone a mf thang, I’m creating a way for me and mine!” she further insisted.

“Lol, he’s our producer . But definitely family, and when one eats, we all eat. We’re just working ,” Thee Stallion’s ex-bestie said of her viral “Big Foot (Remix).” Are you feeling Kelsey Nicole’s diss track, or simply ready for all this drama to wrap up by February?

Megan Thee Stallion’s “Hiss” Preview Has Karlissa Saffold & Thee Hotties Feeling Hype

January 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Megan Thee Stallion’s fanbase understood when she took most of 2023 to focus on her mental health. Now that we’re well into the new year, however, her listeners – known as Thee Hotties – are all too eager to hear what’s next for her musically. Her latest projects include channelling her inner Regina George alongside Renee Rapp for Mean Girls, and finally addressing her surprising split from Pardison Fontaine on “Cobra.” Following that, her ex threw no shortage of shade on “THEE PERSON,” not only claiming Megan underwent liposuction but also that she’s to blame for the demise of her failed interpersonal relationships.

Instead of reacting to that on social media immediately, the Houston native took the high road. She’s in the gym more frequently than ever before, putting in work so she can continue to amaze us with her twerking skills. Earlier this week, Thee Stallion revealed her next single, another snake-themed title called “Hiss” is dropping on Friday (January 26), and from the sounds of the latest preview, this Hot Girl won’t be holding back.

SZA & Mary J. Blige Comparisons On “The Breakfast Club” Provoke Fans To Speak

January 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The women of R&B don’t seem to have quite as much drama as those over in the world of hip-hop, but still, that doesn’t mean they don’t go through their issues. Most recently, it was comments made by Charlamagne Tha God and DJ Envy on The Breakfast Club that have music lovers talking about SZA and Mary J. Blige, and whether they’re as comparable as the radio hosts made them sound on a recent episode. “Do we appreciate SZA as an artist the way we should?” the former asked the latter. “Yes, absolutely,” Envy said without hesitation.

“Do we really?” the Brilliant Idiots host inquired again.”I mean, she gets all the radio play and all of that — I feel she can get more awards, which I’m sure she will. You know, the Grammys are next month, so she’ll get those accolades, but do we really appreciate the once-in-a-generation talent she is?” Charlamagne pondered. At this point, Envy reconsidered his initial response, agreeing that though SZA gets radio play, her artistry is overlooked. “[She’s] this generation’s Mary [J. Blige],” he boldly asserted.

Tha God commended SZA for “[doing] things the right way” and maintaining an “air of mystery around her” due to lack of press. While some can see why the two legends would come up in the same conversation (along with names like Beyonce and Rihanna), many others are growing tired of expecting one woman to live up to another’s totally unique legacy.

Reactions Flood In Defending Both Women

“They have nothing to do with one another. Like comparing apples to oranges, both good but completely different,” one user pointed out in @theshaderoom’s comments. “Just let people be themselvessssss. Pleaaaaseeeee,” another begged of anyone trying to pit two baddies against each other. Keep scrolling to read more reactions to TBC hosts’ comments about SZA and Mary J. Blige, and tell us your thoughts on the debate below.

Doja Cat’s Brother Has Allegations Of Abuse Surface In Legal Filing

January 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In a shocking turn of events, Doja Cat’s family struggles have come to light as her mother, Deborah Elizabeth Sawyer, filed for a temporary restraining order against Doja’s 30-year-old brother, Raman Dalithando Dlamini. The legal documents, recently obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, paint a distressing picture of alleged physical and verbal abuse within the family. According to the filed documents, Doja’s mother accuses Raman of physically and verbally abusing not only her but also his famous sister, Doja Cat. The claims include serious allegations such as Doja having her teeth knocked out by Raman, sustaining cuts and bruises, and experiencing property destruction and theft at the hands of her brother.

The legal filing goes on to detail instances of Raman’s alleged verbal abuse towards Doja Cat, describing it as “very degrading and demeaning.” Doja’s mother asserts that Raman’s behavior has left Doja feeling “unsafe and traumatized,” shedding light on the emotional toll of the alleged abuse. Disturbingly, the legal documents also include allegations of physical abuse directed at Doja Cat’s mother.

Moreover, according to the filing, Raman has purportedly physically abused and threatened Deborah Elizabeth Sawyer multiple times over the past year. With the most recent incident occurring earlier this month. In response to these serious accusations, the judge granted Doja’s mother a court-ordered protection from Raman pending a hearing for a permanent restraining order. However, the same protection was not extended to Doja Cat herself. Instead, the judge advised the artist to file her own request for a restraining order if she wishes to pursue legal protection.

The unfolding situation within Doja Cat’s family raises concerns about the well-being of the artist and her immediate family members. As the legal proceedings continue, the public awaits further developments. And hopes for a resolution that ensures the safety and security of everyone involved. The serious nature of the allegations emphasizes the importance of addressing issues of abuse within families. Shedding light on a sensitive yet critical aspect of personal and familial relationships.

Do Ice Spice & Latto Have Beef? New Yorker Appears In Background Of “777” Artist’s TikTok Amid Rumours

January 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

If you thought the women of rap were leaving their petty drama behind in 2023, you’re already being proven wrong thanks to the latest antics of Ice Spice and Latto. Amid the former’s record breaking year, the latter has faced accusations of jacking her style and dropping shady bars. Though they haven’t had any issues in person yet, all the subliminal shade has us wondering if 2024 will be when a confrontation between the New York and Atlanta based creatives ensues. For now, they’re sticking to business as usual, with Latto making an interesting choice when previewing new music on social media.

Eagle-eyed internet users quickly noticed a familiar face in the background of the 777 hitmaker’s new snippet. Though Spice wasn’t there in real life, a clip of her “Pretty Girl” music video was playing on the TV behind Latto while she rhymed for the camera. “I just want a one-on-one, don’t know why she so nervous,” the blonde beauty spits, with many viewers speculating she’s referring to her redhead contemporary.

Hip-Hop Heads Accuse Latto of Stalking Ice Spice

“O @Latto SHADES @icespice_ requesting a ONE ON ONE and then plays ICE SPICE in the background SO SHE CATCHES THE DIRECT WHACK. GENIUS!!!!! I LOVE FEMALE RAP,” one music lover wrote after catching the mess. As AllHipHop notes, it wasn’t long before Spice appeared to respond with some bars of her own. “Think you the s**t, b**ch, you not even the fart,” she declares on her upcoming release, which is sure to go viral on platforms like TikTok this winter.

They may not have enough in common to form a friendship, but Ice Spice and Latto both achieved some massive feats in 2023. Besides turning up the heat with singles like “Put It On Da Floor” and “Deli,” both femcees also earned prestigious recognition from Forbes on their annual 30 Under 30 list. Read who else was honoured at the link below. Make sure to check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Justina Valentine Recaps The Year’s Biggest Ups & Downs On Her “2023 Rap Up” Freestyle

December 31, 2023 by newhiphopnews

We’ve made it to the final day of 2023, and what better way to recap the rollercoaster ride of the past 12 months than a new freestyle from Justina Valentine. For the past few years, she’s been teaming up with The Shade Room to summarize past events as only she can. If you ask us, the latest edition may be the famous redhead’s best work yet, as she covers everything from Blueface and Chrisean Rock to Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan.

“What a tangled web some have spun / Larsa Pippen out here dating Michael Jordan’s son,” Valentine spits early on in the song. “I know he inside the box like Roddy / Somebody better check on Scottie,” she adds, mentioning the Real Housewives cast member’s athlete husband, who she reportedly slept with multiple times each night throughout their marriage.

Other hot topics the Wild ‘n Out cast member rhymes about in the video above include Yung Miami’s love for golden showers, Rihanna’s iconic Super Bowl Halftime performance (and subsequent pregnancy announcement), and Ja Morant’s troublesome stint with the NBA after flashing weapons on social media more than once. That was all in the first few months of the year, with events like the Montgomery brawl, Chris Brown and Usher’s alleged scuffle, and Keke Palmer’s baby daddy drama after wearing a sexy dress to the latter R&B’s Las Vegas residency all came after, and that doesn’t even touch on the second half of 2023.

Do you think Justina Valentine killed it on her “2023 Rap Up”? If yes, you can add the lengthy freestyle to your playlist on Spotify/Apple Music.

Latto Collab Criticism Leads “777” Artist To Speak Out

December 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In terms of style, Latto faces accusations of “stealing” outfit ideas from Ice Spice and other rap divas. When it comes to her collaborative choices, however, the Atlanta-based lyricist is known for picking unique names and helping put them on the map. For her first release of 2023, she tapped LU KALA to join her for the Dr. Luke-produced “Lottery,” and after that, we heard her on Mello Buckzz’s “Boom Pt. 2.” Arguably her biggest joint track of the year was “Put It On Da Floor Again” with Cardi B. Her most recent arrival, “The Grinch Freestyle” in tandem with Luh Tyler, is helping to set the holiday spirit.

Before we move into 2024, hip-hop heads have made a special request for Latto – one she’s not taking so kindly to. “@latto, girl, we love you, but you need to stop doing collabs with these unknown artists,” one Twitter fan account wrote to the blonde beauty earlier this week. “Enough is enough, as fans we want to see you win and this will get you nowhere. A Latto feature is losing its value. No more BabyDrills, Luh Tylers…” they added.

“Y’all be getting besides y’all self,” the “Wheelie” hitmaker wrote after she saw the OP. “Shawty from the South side and she hard [as f**k, I don’t care] about [all of that],” Latto went on, seemingly sticking up for Anycia, who she has a track with coming soon. “I was an ‘unknown artist’ before and mfs acted too big for me. Stream when we drop .”

As she moves into her 25th year of life, Latto is feeling more confident and secure in her skin than ever before. This was especially evident at her recent birthday party, where she boldly showed off her moves on the stripper pole.

December 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

For Megan Thee Stallion, 2023 was a year primarily about healing and growing into the best version of herself.

However, on the one-year anniversary of Tory Lanez’s sentencing for shooting her in the foot, we can tell that the Southern starlet is feeling on top of the world once again. On Saturday (December 23) evening, Megan went Live on Instagram to discuss some of what she has planned for 2024. From the sounds of things, she won’t be coming quietly.

“I’m about to give everybody exactly what they been looking for,” the “Big Ole Freak” hitmaker promised viewers. Her last LP, Traumazine, hit DSPs in 2022, and though she’s mostly been quiet over the past 12 months, we did hear from her this past New Music Friday on “P*ssy Don’t Lie” from Netflix’s Big Mouth soundtrack. “If you been calling for me, here I come,” Thee Stallion added, sending out a warning to both fans and haters.

Erica Banks Knows Her Worth On New Christmas Joint “All Dat He Got”

December 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

One of the year’s biggest holidays is officially upon us, and thankfully several artists are helping to get us in the festive spirit like only they can. While some superstars take the holiday season off from working and releasing new music, Erica Banks couldn’t celebrate with her loved ones before expanding on her 2020 EP, Banks B4 Christmas. When it first dropped, the “Buss It” hitmaker showed out on “Sleigh Ride,” “Holiday Jun,” and other catchy tracks. Now, she’s reminding us of her worth on “All Dat He Got.”

“He know I be textin’ his brother / When he look at my phone it be hot / But I know he gone trick when it’s Christmas,” the rap diva proudly declares. “He be giving me all dat he got,” Banks continues, making it known she refuses to settle for anything less than the best.

Erica Banks Drops Off the Deluxe Edition of Her 2020 Holiday EP

While spitting her festive, flirtatious bars, Banks sits by a bright red Christmas tree and grand piano. “I like Zelle notifications / And he like when I’m pulling up naked,” the L&HH cast member boldly declares mid-way through her new release. “He say he Nigerian, thought he was Haitian / So you know that the ni**a ain’t patient / You got it? / I’mma take it,” she continues, shamelessly hinting at having a materialistic approach to life and relationships.

In the past, the rap diva found herself at odds with romantic partners like Finesse2tymes due to her love of money, but rather than changing up on herself, the 25-year-old decided to drop her man instead. Check out Erica Banks’ sexy holiday outfit in her “All Dat He Got” visual above.

“The Color Purple” Soundtrack: Alicia Keys’ “Lifeline” Music Video Is Full Of Soul

December 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Alicia Keys’ vocal talent is one of a kind, which is exactly why her hits like “Girl On Fire” and “No One” have appeared in a handful of shows and movies throughout her career. More recently, the New Yorker found herself involved with Oprah Winfrey’s remake of The Color Purple, contributing a beautiful song called “Lifeline” to the historic film’s soundtrack. On Thursday (December 21), Keys unleashed the song’s accompanying music video, for which she reconnected with director Diane Martel, HipHopDX reports.

In the past, the duo collaborated on visuals for songs like “If I Ain’t Got You” and “Like You’ll Never See Me Again.” Their working relationship seems to only grow stronger with each joint effort, and the visual story they tell for “Lifeline” marks some of their best creative planning yet. “I can be your lifeline / Stay with you ‘til the sunrise / When you’re low / It don’t mean you’re alone,” the mother of two’s voice beautifully rings out.

Alicia Keys Shares Her Stunning Contribution to The Color Purple Film

“I’ll be by your side / Oh, I can be the reason / That you don’t feel your demons / When you’re low / It don’t mean you’re alone / I’ll be by your side,” Keys soothes listeners. Now that “Lifeline” is here, we’re even more eager to see The Color Purple when it hits theatres on Christmas Day. Ciara, H.E.R. and Halle Bailey all star in the project, though Oprah recently shared that the studio was hoping to see Beyonce or Rihanna cast in the film.

We’re just days away from The Color Purple officially arriving in theatres, and movie buffs are already eager to see how the classic story’s retelling will go over with audiences. Earlier this fall, Bailey described the atmosphere of being on set as comparable to a “cookout,” making her and her co-stars feel incredibly comfortable and at home together. Read everything the Atlanta native had to say at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
