Logan Paul Claims He’s Been Ghosted By Dillon Danis

August 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this month, it was announced that Logan Paul’s opponent for his October return to boxing would be former Bellator fighter Dillon Danis. Danis went 2-0 in the MMA promotion but has not fought with any professional promotion since 2019. He will now face Paul, who hasn’t boxed since 2021, in an event that Paul is co-headlining with KSI.

However, Danis may have already gone beyond the pale. The fighter, who bills himself a multiple jiu-jitsu world champion, has been on a social media tear since the fight was announced. His primary avenue of attack has been through Paul’s fiancée, Nina Agdal. For many people, Danis went too far by posting a deepfake nude image of Agdal on X, formerly Twitter. At the same time, Danis claimed that he was convinced that Paul would soon drop out of the fight.

Amid claims from Danis that he has caused Paul and Agdal to start fighting, Paul has hit back with claims that Danis has dropped out of the fight. In texts reposted by Dexerto, Paul and his management team are seen trying to secure an 8-round fight against Danis. However, the text appears to suggest that Danis and his team were avoiding responding to the inquiry. “So Dillon’s ghosted us on having an 8 round fight huh,” Logan can be seen writing.

It’s the latest dramatic twist in the bizarre fight. Earlier this week, Paul dropped a major bet with Conor McGregor. “If you’re so confident in your boy, I got a bet for you,” Paul said in a video posted to X on August 14. “I’d bet Dillon, but he’s a broke bitch. I got a million dollars that says I beat your boy on October 14. Come on, bro. I know you’re caked up. Let’s see how confident you are. Imagine all the coke you can buy, you fuckin’ drug addict. Two dummies, one night, October 14. I’m fuckin’ you both up.” Do you think the fight will go ahead? Let us know in the comments.

Skinnyfromthe9 And Capone Fight, Throw More Jabs On IG

August 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In a newly-surfaced clip, Skinnyfromthe9 is seen getting into a public brawl with comedian Capone. Apparently, the situation unraveled after Skinnyfromthe9 accused Capone of “snitching” on his brother. In the clip, the duo are seen going at it, while various onlookers try to break things up. The fight didn’t end there, however, as they both later took to social media to trade some additional blows.

Skinnyfromthe9 shared a different clip on Instagram, which appears to show Capone walking around holding an ice pack on his face following the altercation. “Who you touch?” he begins. “Why this n***a walking around with a ice pack and his phone took,” the performer continues. “Boy you a rat #FreeJosh f*ck ya dead man’s. stop getting hands and feet put on u and coming on ig to cap somebody get this goofy some more ice … this that mook n***a chink Capone BOY HAD TO CHANGE HIS OUTFIT CAUSE HE WAS LEAKIN!!!!” He then went on to share a clip of him holding what seems to be Capone’s phone, telling him to come get it back.

As expected, Capone had his own read on the situation. He shared a clip of the fight itself on his own page, claiming to be sick of people like Skinnyfromthe9. “Been puttin my hands on rats and rappers for a minute N***as know not to play w/ me,” he captioned it. “His security tried to hold me the whole time he KNEW not to even touch me. Had em curled up like a baby.”

He then proceeded to post a video discussing the incident, in which he warns Skinnyfromthe9 and others not to mess with him. Capone also says that if the artist wanted to fight, he should have just set up a boxing match for money. “I push peace but don’t play w/ me idc who you is!” he captioned the video. “And if he tough he’ll fight me for the bag cause he won’t do it in the streets for sure ! Turkey burgers ain’t winnin no more I AM!”

Elon Musk & Mark Zuckerberg Fight Remains In Limbo, “Zuck Declined,” Tesla CEO Says

August 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

There’s been plenty of talk about Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg coming head-to-head, but it seems very few action steps are actually being put into motion. Both tech gurus have received offers from renowned athletes to help them train, though they both have years of experience in various martial arts disciplines, to begin with. There are major physical differences between Musk and Zuckerberg that have raised concerns, such as their 7″ height difference (6’2″ and 5’7″, respectively), as well as their weight disparity (230 and 145).

Nevertheless, both have expressed determination to move forward with arranging an event (live streamed on X, of course), until the Meta head expressed frustration about his competitor’s lack of seriousness this past weekend. “I think we can all agree Elon isn’t serious and it’s time to move on,” Zuckerberg shared via Threads. “I offered a real date. Dana White offered to make this a legit competition for charity.”

Elon Musk Breaks Down the Mark Zuckerberg Situation

Fight Recap:

I joked on X about fighting Zuck

Zuck then said “SEND ME LOCATION”

Italy graciously offered a Colosseum

Zuck declined

I suggested his home as “safe space”

Tragically, he was ahem “traveling”

Is there anywhere he will fight?

https://t.co/gpcRLW49fv

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) August 15, 2023

According to the South African, however, that might not be the case. His version of the story (as told in a tweet on Tuesday afternoon) claims that Zuckerberg specifically declined to fight at the Colosseum. Still determined to bring their vision to fruition, Musk suggested a fight at the 39-year-old’s home Octogan as a “safe space.” “Tragically, he was ahem, ‘travelling,’” the engineer snarked while sharing a DailyMail article reporting on how the fight first became a discussion.

Elon Musk makes it sound like Mark Zuckerberg is the one being difficult, or perhaps avoiding the fight. It appears that if/when the Brazilian Jiu Jitsu fighter does name a location, then his multi-talented opponent is more than up to the challenge. Interestingly, the Meta CEO shared how seriously he’s been taking his training by discussing some of the changes he’s apparently made to his diet to help him grow closer in weight to Elon. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Mark Zuckerberg Says Elon Musk “Isn’t Serious” About Fighting: “It’s Time To Move On”

August 13, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Mark Zuckerberg called out Elon Musk amid their ongoing feud on social media, Saturday. In doing so, he remarked on the site, Threads, that the Tesla billionaire “isn’t serious” about their much-discussed cage fight match.

“I think we can all agree Elon isn’t serious and it’s time to move on. I offered a real date. Dana White offered to make this a legit competition for charity,” Zuckerberg wrote. “Elon won’t confirm a date, then says he needs surgery, and now asks to do a practice round in my backyard instead. If Elon ever gets serious about a real date and official event, he knows how to reach me. Otherwise, time to move on. I’m going to focus on competing with people who take the sport seriously.”

Musk and Zuckerberg initially agreed to the idea of a fight back in June; however, in the time since, the two have gotten little done in terms of organizing the match. Instead, they’ve mostly bickered over social media. At one point, Musk claimed he might need surgery and mentioned getting an MRI.

On Sunday, Musk shared a screenshot of a text message exchange between himself and Zuckerberg. “I don’t want to keep hyping something that will never happen, so you should either decide you’re going to do this and do it soon, or we should move on,” Zuckerberg wrote to Musk, who admitted that he hasn’t been “practicing much.”

Mark Zuckerberg Seems To Call Off Fight, Says Elon Musk “Isn’t Serious”

August 13, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Fans have been eagerly awaiting the “tech bro fight of the century” since Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg first teased it. With that being said, the two of them have been going back and forth regarding the details of the fight as of late. Last week, Musk took to Twitter/X to announce that the UFC would no longer be involved. Apparently, Zuckerberg never agreed to that. He further alluded to the fight taking place at the Colosseum, but it looks like now it could just not happen at all.

Today, Zuck hopped on Threads to let fans know that he’s not playing around anymore. According to him, Musk’s not been taking the fight seriously, and he’s over it. “I think we can all agree Elon isn’t serious and it’s time to move on,” he wrote. “I offered a real date. Dana White offered to make this a legit competition for charity.”

Zuckerberg Wants To Compete With Those Who “Take The Sport Seriously”

“Elon won’t confirm a date, then says he needs surgery, and now asks to do a practice round in my backyard instead. If Elon ever gets serious about a real date and official event, he knows how to reach me,” he adds. “Otherwise, time to move on. I’m going to focus on competing with people who take the sport seriously.”

Zuckerberg’s post doesn’t come as too much of a surprise, as the Meta founder’s been hinting that he’s sick of Elon’s antics for some time. With that being said, there’s still a chance that if he fully commits, they could still battle it out. For now though, it seems like Zuckerberg would rather spend his time with a more worthwhile competitor.

Conor McGregor Challenges KSI During Boxing Match

August 13, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The world of boxing, MMA, and combat sports as a whole invokes a lot of trash talking and bravado these days. Moreover, there’s perhaps no better contemporary example of that (in the mainstream) than Conor McGregor, who always seems to be stirring something up. Most recently, he called out KSI after the boxing match between Anthony Joshua and Robert Helenius, saying that “he couldn’t box eggs if he walked into an egg-boxing factory.” Specifically, it seems like the MMA star wants to do a bareknuckle fight with him, and since the YouTube star, rapper, and boxer was in the crowd, it could’ve happened right then and there. It didn’t, but the door’s open for the future now.

It’s unclear exactly why Conor McGregor all of a sudden took shots at KSI, but it’s nonetheless entertaining to see. After all, they’re two of the biggest names in that scene right now, albeit for pretty different reasons and with very different stories attached. Also, they’ve been pals and appeared on things together in the past, so maybe it’s just another step in their relationship. It may be odd, but it would still be a treat to watch.

Conor McGregor’s Call-Out

Furthermore, maybe this could be a part of the boxing event that KSI and Logan Paul are headlining this October. In fact, the Sidemen personality already responded to Conor McGregor’s challenge on Twitter (now X), and seemed to take it with pride, stride, and in good humor and fun. “Lmao just seen this,” he wrote on the social media platform. “Jake Paul must be crying that I’ve got Connor on my d**k already and I didn’t even have to fight an mma fighter.”

KSI’s Response

Meanwhile, surely more responses and statements in the future will expand on that animosity a little more. Maybe Notorious just wants to tackle all the big and promotable names to show his dominance and to garner a lot of cash while doing so. If it’s purely for the sport of it, then hopefully the two can have some good prep time and come together for a great display.

Chrisean Rock Explains Why She Had Her Sister Jumped: “I Just Beat You To It”

August 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Recently, a clip of a heated argument between Chrisean Rock and her sister Tesehki hit the internet. In the clip, Tesehki is seen loudly screaming at Chrisean. Surprisingly, the 23-year-old remains calm throughout the whole ordeal, even after Tesehki throws water on her. Her older sister, however, completely popped off. The altercation took place during the filming of an episode of Baddies, and started to make its rounds last night.

The intense clip got social media users talking. For those who don’t know, Chrisean is currently nearing the end of her pregnancy. She’s carrying the child of her on-again off-again partner Blueface, though they appear to have gone their separate ways for now. There’s been a great deal of drama between the two of them throughout the entirety of her pregnancy, and lately he’s focused his attention on Jaidyn Alexis. Chrisean also just recently claimed to be doing better than ever without him.

Chrisean Rock Says Tesehki Tried To “Backdoor” Her First

A post shared by No Jumper (@nojumper)

At this point, the drama is coming at Chrisean from all directions. Fans note that the stress can’t be healthy for her developing child, who’s reportedly due sometime in September. With that being said, the rapper and reality star took to social media, appearing as calm and collected as ever to discuss the recent feud with her sister. She explained why she had Tesehki jumped, claiming that it was simply a response to her behavior.

Chrisean says her sister was eyeballing her stuff, and giving her and her crew the feeling that she was going to try something. She explains that Tesehki was also “randomly saying sh*t to distract” and upset her. “N***a I’m a whole lick, what the f*ck,” she continues, “we peeped your whole energy far away.” “You tried to backdoor me, n***a,” Chrisean adds, “and I just beat you to it.” Apparently, Chrisean isn’t willing to take the fall for this one. With that being said, social media users appear to disapprove of both sides. Many feel as though it was wrong on Chrisean’s part to have her sister beat up, while others claim she deserved it for instigating something with her while she’s pregnant.

Liz Cambage Denies Using Racial Slurs As Fight Video Emerges

August 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Liz Cambage came roaring back into the US sports consciousness in a bombshell interview with Bleacher Report. Speaking with Taylor Rooks, Cambage alleged that her departure from the WNBA last year was a result of disrespect from the staff and her teammates on the LA Sparks. A number of sources have come out to dispute this. Jordin Canada, who played alongside Cambage on the Sparks, even tweeted at Bleacher Report to tell them to call her if they wanted the “real truth.”

However, the interview wasn’t the only Cambage story that was doing the rounds. At the same time as the interview, a video appeared on social media showing an altercation that occurred during an Olympic warm-up match between Australia and Nigeria. In the clip, Cambage can be seen taking a punch from a Nigerian player. Allegedly, Cambage had used racially derogatory language towards the Nigerian players, referring to them as “monkeys”. Cambage has repeatedly denied the allegations and even claimed that she was in talks to join the Nigerian national team. However, once again, people are calling cap.

Cambage Roasted For Denying Racial Slur Use

Footage has surfaced of the infamous Australia vs. Nigeria game where then- WNBA star Liz Cambage was seen elbowing and slapping opponents in the face. In the same incident, Cambage allegedly called opponents, ‘monkeys.’

— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) August 10, 2023

Cambage released a lengthy statement after the video was released to once again reiterate her denial of using racially offensive language. “The circulating video portrays a highly physical game with no officiating, resulting in me being attacked and sustaining a concussion. Contrary to false claims, I did not use racial slurs or refer to anyone as a monkey, which is evident from the footage. To the set the record straight, I never stated that I had officially joined the Nigerian national team. Instead, I expressed my interest in joining the team and representing Nigeria,” her statement read in part.

However, many people have spoken out against Cambage’s version of events. Players from both teams claim that Cambage referred to Nigerian players as “monkeys, including Australian captain Jenna O’Hea. Furthermore, Cambage was issued a formal reprimand by Basketball Australia. She withdrew from the Olympics citing mental health concerns and has not played for the Opals since. Additionally, Nigerian officials have denied that there is an ongoing progress to bring Cambage to the D’Tigress.

Plies Excitedly Reacts To Montgomery, Alabama Brawl

August 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

If you’ve been online at all today, you probably know that there was a viral and nasty brawl that went down in Montgomery, Alabama. Moreover, the clip spread like wildfire online around Sunday (August 6), and involves multiple people feuding over an alleged dispute where a boat was blocking another on the riverfront. Many commented on this in a light fashion, making jokes about it or criticizing the fight itself. However, considering that there was one black man getting beat up by a group of white men, there’s a much more heinous undertone than some people believe. Unfortunately, any nuanced conversation around it got muddled up by ignorance of its implications.

Furthermore, Plies became the latest rap-adjacent figure to react to the fight, and did so quite lightly. Of course, he’s known for his social media antics, so this shouldn’t come as much surprise. That being said, he remarked that he would’ve liked to have been there amid the beatdown. That will surely come off tone-deaf for many. In an Instagram clip, the Florida native giggled and yelled while throwing punches in the air.

Plies Wishes He Would’ve Been At Montgomery Fight

A post shared by Plies (@plies)

While Plies did excitedly say something in this clip, his caption basically sums them up. “B***h I Wish I Was In Alabama Tonight Bih!!!!” the 47-year-old wrote with laughing emojis. “They Gave It To Y’all Azz Tonight!!!! (As Long As They Ain’t Whip No Kids Or Women). But All Y’all Tripled Teamed My Boy On The Dock Y’all Azz Get It Bih!!!” Sure, his social media is quite volatile and sometimes for good reason, but this took the opposite direction.

Meanwhile, Montgomery police said they issued four active warrants related to this brawl. They also apprehended multiple individuals with pending charges, with possible additional action after investigators review footage. “Last night, the Montgomery Police Department acted swiftly to detain several reckless individuals for attacking a man who was doing his job,” the city’s mayor Steven Reed stated on Sunday afternoon. “Warrants are being signed and justice will be served. This was an unfortunate incident which never should have occurred. As our police department investigates these intolerable actions, we should not become desensitized to violence of any kind in our community. Those who choose violent actions will be held accountable by our criminal justice system.” For more news and the latest updates on Plies, keep checking in with HNHH.

Mark Zuckerberg Calls Out Elon Musk Over Potential Cage Fight

August 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk traded shots on social media over the weekend regarding the idea of fighting each other in a previously discussed cage match. Musk remarked in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the fight would be streamed on the aforementioned platform if it does occur. Zuckerberg, using his new site, Threads, trolled Musk over the comment.

“Shouldn’t we use a more reliable platform that can actually raise money for charity?” the Meta CEO fired back at Musk on Threads. Before Zuckerberg’s comment, Musk had also remarked that he’s been “lifting weights throughout the day preparing for the fight.” He added: “Don’t have time to work out, so I just bring them to work. Aiming to get to 50-pound free weights this week. I build muscle fast. Physical endurance is my weak spot, so I’m aiming to make this quick.”

Mark Zuckerberg & Elon Musk Prepare To Fight

“I’m ready today,” Zuckerberg further said on Threads. “I suggested Aug 26 when he first challenged, but he hasn’t confirmed. Not holding my breath. I love this sport and will continue competing with people who train no matter what happens here.” Discussing his chances in the bout, Musk said: “If the fight is short, I probably win. If long, he may win on endurance. I am much bigger and there is a reason MMA has weight divisions.”

Musk and Zuckerberg initially agreed to the idea of a fight back in June; however, little progress towards it coming to fruition has amounted since then. Zuckerberg even told Meta employees at the end of July that he doubted it would end up happening.
