Gayle King Responds To Megan Thee Stallion Lying About Her Relationship With Tory Lanez

November 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Words was a pretty anticipated documentary for a myriad of reasons. Of course, the main draw of it was to hear more about the Houston rapper’s feelings and thoughts about the Tory Lanez shooting debacle. In the Amazon Prime Video special, fans wound up learning that Megan and the Canadian singer and rapper actually had a bit of a romantic history before everything hit the fan. Overall, she isn’t necessarily for talking about it. It’s maybe an indicator as to why she revealed she lied to CBS Mornings co-host Gayle King when inquired about possible sexual encounters.

“Yes, b****, I lied to Gayle King, b****,” Megan openly admitted. “First of all, I ain’t know that b**** was even going to ask me about that s***, b****. I thought we was going to talk about the shooting. Why is you asking me about f***ing Tory? That’s not what this is about. Even if I was, I f***ed the n****, like, once. Maybe twice, on a drunk night. But she kept catching me out of my f***ing mind.” This clip went viral and eventually circled back to Gayle. She’s previously mentioned how she has no hard feelings toward Megan and didn’t take offense to her calling her a “b****.”

Overall, she really wanted to give the superstar femcee a platform to share her story, especially since so many have been siding with Lanez.

Gayle King Reacts To Megan Thee Stallion’s “B*tch” Comment In New Doc

November 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Megan Thee Stallion unleashed her new documentary, In Her Words, on Prime Video yesterday (October 31). Unsurprisingly, there are several standout moments, including the femcee’s confession about her 2022 interview with Gayle King. According to her, she wasn’t completely honest when she was asked whether or not she had a sexual relationship with Lanez.

“Yes, b***h, I lied to Gayle King, b***h,” she explained. “First of all, I ain’t know that b***h was even going to ask me about that s**t, b***h. I thought we was going to talk about the shooting. Why is you asking me about f***ing Tory? That’s not what this is about. Even if I was, I f***ed the n***a, like, once. Maybe twice, on a drunk night. But she kept catching me out of my f***ing mind.”

This prompted mixed reactions from social media users. While some argued that Meg’s fib says something about her overall trustworthiness, others note how she previously confessed to sleeping with Lanez during his trial. Many also point out that whether or not they slept together has no bearing on whether or not she was shot, and seemed like a somewhat irrelevant question. Today, King herself even weighed in on the debacle and reacted to Meg referring to her as a “b*tch” in particular.

“Hey, I’m just sitting here minding my own business. People are reaching out to me, saying, ‘Hey Gayle, Megan Thee Stallion just called you a b***h,’” she says in an Instagram video. “I know you’re expecting me to…maybe you’re thinking I have something negative to say. I do not. I have nothing but great, great love and respect for Megan Thee Stallion.” What do you think of Gayle King’s response to Megan Thee Stallion’s remarks about her in her new documentary?

Meg’s admission has unsurprisingly earned big reactions on social media, and even from Lanez’s lawyer, Ceasar McDowell. During a recent chat with TMZ, he shared his take on the debacle, suggesting that it could allegedly say something about Meg’s overall honesty. “The fact that Megan lied about her sexual relationship with Tory obviously makes her an unreliable witness,” he alleged in his statement. “If someone lies in front of millions of people, how can you trust what they say any other time?”

While some social media users feel the same way, many are coming to her defense, and noting how she admitted to sleeping with Lanez during her testimony at his trial.

Gayle King Embarrassingly Gives Way Too Much Information About Oprah’s Recent Hospitalization

June 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

According to journalist and Oprah Winfrey’s closest friend, Gayle King, who excessively revealed the gory details of the media mogul’s condition, Oprah was admitted to the hospital. King revealed the information in an explanation for Winfrey’s absence from the news show on Tuesday. She said that the former daytime TV queen required medical treatment since she had a terrible stomach ailment. “Yesterday she said, ‘I’m going to rally, I’m going to rally.’ She had some kind of stomach thing where — stomach flu where stuff was coming out of both ends. I won’t get too graphic,” King said.

“But needless to say, she ended up in the hospital. Dehydration, she had an IV, so it was a very serious thing,” King said. “She will be OK. She will be OK. I hope she’s not mad at me for sharing that detail, but I wanted to make it clear that it mattered to her and it bothered her that she couldn’t be here for you today.” In Winfrey’s place, King said that the most recent book club selection for Winfrey was “Familiaris,” a prequel written by David Wroblewski. Reading a statement from Winfrey, who praised the book as a “extraordinary journey that brilliantly interweaves history, philosophy, adventure, and mysticism to explore the meaning of love, friendship, and living your life’s true purpose,” she imitated her friend’s well-known dramatic announcement voice.

On the broadcast, King then conducted an interview with the best-selling author who had joined the book club a second time. In the meanwhile, Winfrey’s representative informed The Times on Tuesday that the 70-year-old is recovering. “Ms. Winfrey is recovering following a stomach virus and received an IV due to dehydration at the recommendation of her doctor,” the spokesperson said via email. “She is resting and feeling better every day.” The representative did not provide information on Winfrey’s length of stay in the hospital or the cause of her sickness.

After receiving treatment for the sickness, Winfrey has now returned home. Additionally, the Times confirmed this with a close friend of Winfrey who was not permitted to talk in public. The disease has “no relation to weight loss medications,” as Winfrey previously disclosed taking. Winfrey, who has always been outspoken in the media, revealed to People magazine in December that she has been maintaining a healthy weight by combining lifestyle modifications and an undisclosed weight-loss medication. Overall, there is no telling what the reason is she was hospitilized, but speculation will ensue.

Gayle King Shows Off Her Figure In SI Swimsuit Issue At 69-Years-Old

May 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Gayle King, who is 69 years old, is now a swimsuit model, and she will appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Gayle showcases her amazing figure as a senior. The CBS News anchor was chosen as one of four women to feature on the covers of a forthcoming SI magazine. The other three ladies, Chrissy Teigen, Hunter McGrady, and Kate Upton, are all seasoned models in the industry. Gayle has no swimsuit modeling experience, so she stands out somewhat. Additionally, the fact that Gayle is older than all those girls also makes her shot much more striking. To be honest, she looks amazing, stretched out across many bathing costumes.

Gayle appears in a variety of tasteful looks in the issue. Naturally, while she shows off all the different bikinis, she also flaunts her figure, and judging from the photos, many have come to the conclusion that she still has it. On Tuesday, May 14, during a live on-air edition of CBS Mornings, King was taken aback by the revelation of her cover position.

Gayle King Models For SI’s Swimsuit Issue

Hello, cover girl!@DrewBarrymore, @helloross, @TonyDokoupil and @NateBurleson react to @GayleKing’s @SI_Swimsuit cover: “It is a moment of true empowerment.” pic.twitter.com/AaPg8bQOC8

— CBS Mornings (@CBSMornings) May 14, 2024

The CBS Mornings co-host, who turns 70 later this year, says she thought she was “being punked” when she was presented with the offer to be featured. During a live on-air broadcast of CBS Mornings, when Hunter McGrady and Kate Upton, who both also have solo covers, handed King her copy. Gayle King was taken aback by the unveiling of her cover position. “Ahhh! I’m on the cover,” she exclaimed with excitement while holding the issue. “They told me I was just going to be on the inside! It’s not a dummy cover? This is going to be on the newsstands? Oh my God! Oh my God!”

SI and similar publications have worked hard in recent years to include a diverse range of people in their photo shoots, generating a lively discussion about representation and the always-shifting definition of beauty standards. This is undoubtedly Gayle in a different context from our usual perception of her. The full SI magazine, which goes on sale on May 17, has all of the images.

Gayle King Curves Tia Kemp After Rick Ross’ Ex Pitches Interview Idea

March 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Being in the public eye so prominently means that Rick Ross has no shortage of women vying for his attention. The Biggest Boss’ latest lover was up-and-coming artist Cristina Mackey, who’s been on his arm over the past few months at various events around the world. Like most of Ross’ relationships, this fling was relatively short-lived. This was much to the pleasure of his ex and co-parent, Tia Kemp, who’s been in the headlines for throwing shade at both Mackey and her baby daddy.

After their split, it didn’t take long for Kemp to start hurling insults. She called the “Coastin’” artist a “dusty crusty Tweety Bird” last week, prompting Mackey to clap back with some shade of her own. In the meantime, Kemp is focusing on building her brand and telling her story, even ambitiously aiming for an interview with Gayle King. As HipHopDX reports, the social media star ran into the journalist while running errands recently, and had no insecurities about approaching her.

Tia Kemp Remains Determined to Build Her Personal Brand

“Hi Gayle, I need to come on your show. You just don’t know who I am,” Kemp said. “What would we be talking about?” King responded before cutting the interaction short. Regardless of the rejection, Rozay’s ex still posted the footage on Instagram. “We go talk about everything, Get Me There,” she wrote in her caption.

Gayle King might not be willing to sit down with Tia Kemp just yet, but the 69-year-old has become accustomed to sharing details of her personal life with the world. Not so long ago she admitted to previously giving a man she was involved with child support money for his family. This ultimately gave her a bad case of the ick. Read all about that at the link below, and let us know if you think Tia would be an appropriate interview subject for Gayle in the comments.

Charles Barkley Promises To Punch Any Black Person Who Wears Donald Trump Mugshot Shirt

March 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Charles Barkley is someone who has not shied away from delivering his political opinions. Overall, he is someone who has voted for Democrats and Republicans over the years. For instance, he has recently been endorsing Nikki Haley for president. She is the main challenger to Donald Trump, although it doesn’t look like she has much of a shot to win. Instead, Trump is in the lead, and his supporters are going to make sure he gets a rematch against Joe Biden come November.

Having said that, Barkley got to speak about his distaste for Trump while on his CNN show with Gayle King. During the show, they spoke about how Trump believes black people like him due to his charges. In fact, Trump said that black people are currently wearing shirts with his mugshot on them. King brought this up to Barkley, and he was not pleased. In fact, he said that if he were to see a black person wearing such a shirt, he would get violent.

Charles Barkley Gives His Take

“If I see a Black person walking around with a Trump mug shot, I’m gonna punch him in the face.”

– Charles Barkley

“First of all, I’m just gonna say this: if I see a Black person walking around with a Trump mug shot, I’m gonna punch him in the face,” Barkley said. King was in a bit of disbelief in terms of Barkley’s declaration. She noted that he would probably never actually go through with doing that. However, Barkley stood his ground and said that it is how he feels. Clearly, he is a huge detractor of Trump’s and there is nothing anyone can say to change that. Whether or not we see Barkley punching anyone, remains to be seen.

The election is coming up fast, and there is no doubt that it will be divisive. The first Biden and Trump election came at a pivotal time in the United States. Only time will tell who will end up leading the country for the next four years. Let us know your thoughts on Barkley’s comments, down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.

Fat Joe Defends Lying In “95%” His Lyrics

December 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Fat Joe has explained why he admitted to lying in “95%” of his lyrics, arguing that he had to speak out for those whose music is being used against them in court. Joe had been discussing his music and Young Thug’s ongoing trial during an interview with Gayle King on CNN.

“I’ve been rapping professionally for 30 years,” Fat Joe, last week. “I’ve lied in almost 95 percent of my songs. I’m being honest. I write like I feel that day. I’m just being creative. You couldn’t build a jail high enough for the lyrics I’ve said on songs, which are all untrue. What I am is a family man, the person who gives back to my community all the time, opens businesses in my community.”

Joe defended the comments while on Instagram Live, on Sunday. In doing so, he described himself as an “elder statesman of Hip-Hop.” “I had to say 95% of what I say is a lie so that they could understand that it’s unfair to try some kids for the rest of their life with sh*t they might have not done,” Joe explained. “None of this sh*t is true. It’s creativity. It’s imagination. Those who know, know. If I say I use my creativity, my imagination in my music, don’t mean I ain’t lived a real f*cking life in the streets.” Check out his latest comments on the matter below.

Fat Joe Addresses His Recent Comments

Joe’s livestream comes as Thug’s lyrics are being used against him in his YSL RICO case. Speaking with CNN, Joe argued that an artist of Thug’s popularity having his lyrics used in court sets a dangerous precedent for future musicians. He’s one of several rappers to express their concern over the matter in recent months. Be on the lookout for further updates on Fat Joe on HotNewHipHop.

November 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Gayle King says that Oprah Winfrey doubted she’d be able to land her recent viral interview with JAY-Z. Speaking with Access Hollywood in Las Vegas, last week, King explained Winfrey doubted the interview would come to fruition as the Brooklyn rapper repeatedly postponed their meet-up.

“Even Oprah said, ‘You’re making a damn fool of yourself! Stop asking him. He doesn’t want to do it.’,” King recalled. “But I couldn’t let it go because he never said, ‘No, no, no.’ He just kept delaying, delaying, delaying. Oprah said, ‘He’s being polite because he doesn’t want to tell you, ‘No.’ I kept coming back. I don’t know why he said yes or why he changed his mind but I’m forever grateful.”

“I’m still floating from that interview honestly. I was really buzzing after because you don’t know and you know he doesn’t like to do interviews,” she continued. “I had an older woman who was not the JAY-Z demographic and she came up to me saying, ‘You know, I never listened to that kind of music. But after listening to his interview, I’m going to go to the library and I want to listen to his music.’ And I said, ‘You should get ’99 Problems’ mam, you’d enjoy that!’” Check out her full comments on the interview below.

Gayle King Recalls Oprah’s Response To JAY-Z Interview
