Idris Elba Recalls Being Held At Gunpoint While Trying To Stand Up For Someone’s Girlfriend

by

Idris Elba says that he once was held at gunpoint by a man after trying to protect their wife during a domestic dispute. He recalled the incident during an interview with the SmartLess podcast published Tuesday.

“I nearly lost my fucking life after attempting to stop a man threatening his girlfriend outside a club,” Elba shared, as noted by the Daily Mail. “A guy [was] whaling on his missus, screaming in her face, ‘I’ll fucking kill you,’ and so on. I come round and I go, ‘Look how beautiful she is. Why would you talk to this beautiful princess like that?’”

“He pulled out a gun, stuck it right in my face, and goes, ‘You talking about my girl?’ He thought I was trying to hit on her,” the Luther actor explained. “I remember thinking, ‘Don’t play negotiations like that… Consequences, man.’” Elba didn’t go into further details about where the incident took place nor how the situation de-escalated from there.

Elsewhere in the conversation, Elba discussed how he ended up playing a DJ set at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding in May 2018. He says that he was performing at various clubs at the time when one night he ran into Harry. “I was DJ-ing in all these clubs where [Prince] Harry would show up and he was like, ‘Yo!’ and I’m like, ‘Yo!’. And then at one point he was like, ‘Listen man, I’m getting married’. I was like, ‘Yo! That’s amazing,’” Elba explained. “He goes, ‘I want you to DJ’… I was like, ‘I don’t do requests!’”

Fans of Elba’s will be able to catch him in the upcoming Paramount+ animated series Knuckles. It’s a spin-off from Sonic the Hedgehog 2, in which he voiced the title character from the new series. It is expected to premiere later this year.

by

Will.i.am says that 2Pac once stole the girlfriend of Black Eyed Peas member Apl.de.Ap. He recalled the story during an interview with DJ Whoo Kid for the Whoo’s House podcast. While he explained that he never met the legendary rapper, Will.i.am told the story of Apl.de.Ap’s girl leaving him at Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles after seeing 2Pac.

“I never met Biggie,” Will.i.am said, “I never had an interaction with 2Pac, but Apl.de.Ap in the Black Eyed Peas, he had this girlfriend. I don’t wanna name her name or put her on blast, and they were eating at freaking Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles.”

Will.i.am continued: “She was hot, bro. She was a beautiful Puerto Rican young girl, when we were kids. 2Pac did like this [beckoning gesture] and then she was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I’ll be right back.’ 30 minutes later, [Apl’s] chicken waffles got all cold, freaking syrup got all freaking stiff, butter got freaking liquidy. And he was like, ‘She ain’t coming back…’ That’s his classic 2Pac [story].” Check out the full conversation below.

It’s not the first time Will.i.am has made headlines for discussing 2Pac. Just last year, he admitted that he wasn’t a fan of the legendary rapper’s music during an interview with The Art of Dialogue. When asked to choose between The Notorious B.I.G. or 2Pac, he went with KRS-One.

“I’m such a Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul head that I don’t like 2Pac and Biggie,” he said at the time. “That kind of music doesn’t speak to my spirit. I like Boogie Down Productions, KRS-One … if it’s like 2Pac or Biggie? It’s KRS-One. Why those two? If it’s 2Pac and Biggie, I don’t hold them up like that. I hold Eric B. and Rakim like that. 2Pac’s dope, don’t get me wrong. It’s not like I don’t think he’s dope.”

Dennis Rodman Gets A Face Tattoo Of His Girlfriend’s Face

by

Dennis Rodman is a fascinating individual. He defined the 1990s as the bad boy of the legendary Chicago Bulls team that dominated the NBA. However, more than just being the team rebel, he had a transgressive style that challenged gender norms. Furthermore, he was very much unequivocally himself. Love, him, hate him, demonize him, Rodman didn’t care because you were still talking about him.

After the collapse of the Bulls, Rodman bounced around the NBA, as well as international leagues. His career finally came to an end in 2006 after a brief stint with the Brighton Bears in Brighton, England. Since then, he’s been known for a variety of things. He became an unofficial emissary to North Korea during the Trump administration. His frequent trips to the famously isolationist country, as well as his friendship with Kim Jong-Un, even led to speculation that Rodman was a CIA asset. Beyond that, Rodman’s daughter Trinity is a star in her own right. She currently plays professional soccer in the NWSL and for the US Women’s National Team. However, Dennis is once again back in the news for doing something “weird”.

Rodman Unveils His New Tattoo

Dennis Rodman has got a new face tattoo. While that would be fairly normal in and of itself, the tattoo is attracting attention as it appears to be a very prominent tattoo of his girlfriend’s face. Rodman showed it off on social media with the caption “Start your own legacy when you’re God favored.” Meanwhile, his girlfriend can also be seen in the video, inspecting the tattoo approvingly. Of course, this is essentially just a normal day for Rodman, who as we’ve mentioned is nothing if not un-traditional.

However, there was one notable reply in the comments of the No Jumper post that reshared the video. Rapper Sexyy Red, most recently seen scoring a W over Tasha K, dropped her thoughts. “Dats me on his face yal 💋,” the St. Louis rapper wrote. What’s more, the tattoo does kind of look like Red, best known for her track “Pound Town”. While likely a coincidence, especially given that his girlfriend is right there in the video, it’s a little bit of extra fun in an already amusing story. What do you think about Rodman’s tattoo? Let us know in the comments. Follow all the latest celebrity news here at HotNewHipHop.

Soulja Boy Lucks Out In Civil Case With Ex-Girlfriend Over Awarded Damages

by

Back in April, a judge awarded Soulja Boy’s ex-girlfriend Kayla Myers $235,900 in punitive damages in their civil case. For those unaware, Myers sued the rapper for alleged assault and kidnapping at a 2019 party at his home in Malibu, and emerged victorious when the case went to jury. Moreover, Soulja’s team sought a new trial after this development, pointing to jury misconduct as a crucial reason to reevaluate the trial. Apparently, these wishes might see some fulfillment according to a recent report from MyNewsLA on the legal matter. Furthermore, Judge Mark Epstein of California expressed concern on Thursday (June 29) that jurors lacked important evidence and information in the case.

In particular, this evidence and information refers to Soulja Boy’s financial affairs, such as income, saving, expenses, and debt. In fact, Epstein stated that Myers did not present any evidence of these factors in her initial suit, and that the lack such information should’ve halted the case from proceeding. “The court is concerned that, absent at least some evidence on this point, the issue should never have gone to the jury,” a judicial clerk wrote according to the outlet’s report. The court scheduled a hearing for July 21 to discuss the issue.

Nevertheless, until that hearing comes to a conclusion, Myers still won her lawsuit and can stand by that verdict. The jury in this case granted punitive damages for “physical and mental pain and suffering,” with additional funds for healthcare expenses. “We’re pleased with the jury’s verdict,” prosecutor Max Engelhardt remarked at the time. “[Soulja Boy] assaulted and terrorized Kayla, and that was borne out by the evidence and testimony. The punitive damages were substantial, and hopefully, they will serve as a lesson to Mr. Way that his celebrity status is not a license to commit violence.”

Meanwhile, the 32-year-old is still up to his usual antics online, even amid these pressing legal matters. For example, he recently participated in a hilarious livestream with TikTok star Terri Joe where she made some bold claims about their… interactions. We have to wait a few weeks to see where this case lands, but we’re sure that he will keep being himself in the meantime. On that note, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and more updates on Soulja Boy.

6ix9ine’s Girlfriend Grooms His Face On Instagram Live

by

6ix9ine is undergoing a bit of a career second wind, this time making numbers in the Latine market rather than stateside hip-hop. As he’s found a lot of success and struck much conversation, much of that revolves around his new girlfriend, Yailin “La Más Viral” (The Most Viral). For those unaware and out of tune with reggaetón gossip, she is Puerto Rican star Anuel AA’s ex, and he actually collaborated with the New York rapper often. However, they since fell out, and now Yailin and Tekashi are enjoying newfound success in the Spanish-speaking scene. In addition to all of that, they often have some fun on Instagram Live, and this time that involved a clip of her shaving and cleaning his face.

Playfully, 6ix9ine covered his eyebrows as his boo got close to him with the mechanic razor, avoiding what would’ve been a viral moment. Overall, they tease each other a little bit as she makes sure that the 27-year-old looks as well-groomed as possible. Regardless of whether you enjoy the music, you can’t deny that the Leyenda Viva artist did not fall off as hard as many people thought a couple of years ago. Rather, it seems he’s bounced back in a new arena, and the numbers prove (for better or worse) that the switch was good for him.

Still, that’s not to say that he doesn’t still have bridges in the rap game, or that he isn’t trying to mend previously broken ones. Recently, he apologized to Cardi B over their past beef, explaining that it was because of his ex-girlfriend. Also, 6ix9ine and Yailin said that they rock with Cardi now and want to put that bad blood behind them. He had dissed the Invasion Of Privacy MC for the claims that she drugged men during her time as a stripper.

Meanwhile, only time will tell whether the “BORI” provocateur crosses over into hip-hop again. While it’s not out of the question, his moves are quite unpredictable as he focuses a lot on trends and what works for him in the moment. As such, nobody knows when to count him out, especially if he sees dollar signs ahead on his new path. With that in mind, stay logged into HNHH for the lates news and updates on 6ix9ine.

Shy Glizzy Denies Threatening Girlfriend Following Recent Arrest

by

Shy Glizzy has denied any wrongdoing after being arrested in West Hollywood, California, earlier this week. According to TMZ, the rapper was involved in a verbal altercation with his girlfriend, during which he pulled out a firearm and threatened the woman. Glizzy denied the accusations in a statement on his Instagram Story, Wednesday.

“The accusations made against me are completely false,” Glizzy wrote on his profile. “I would never in my life pull a weapon or harm a female in any way so stop with the BS allegations! What is wrong with ppl?”

The arrest comes after OnlyFans model Ski Bri accused Glizzy of acting “sketchy” during a shoot for one of his music videos. She claimed that, at one point, Glizzy pressured her to perform oral sex. “I was getting ready to leave and he comes in and he pulls me onto the bed and I look down and his dick is out,” Sky Bri recalled at the time. “And he’s like, ‘Suck it.’ And I said no and he’s like, ‘Lick it,’ and I said no and he said, ‘Then you’re fine with not getting paid?’ And I said yeah and I just got up and went downstairs and got the director.”

Glizzy denied those allegations during an appearance on Akademiks’ Off The Record podcast soon afterward. “I ain’t got no relationship with her. What type of relationship am I supposed to have with her?” Glizzy said of the accusation. “I’m an artist; is it my job to pay motherfuckas? I come on set just how everyone else come on the motherfuckin’ set. That ain’t my motherfuckin’ job.”

Shy Glizzy’s Statement

Glizzy further said: “I don’t know what went on with none of that. That ain’t nothing that pertain to me. I came, I did my job, everything was smooth. After that, everything always was smooth. It’s not true. I don’t even know where a n***a like that… I’ve been in this shit too long. You ain’t never heard no shit like that about me. I’m a player.” Check out Glizzy’s new statement on his arrest above.

NLE Choppa Insists He’s Single, Ex-GF Says Otherwise

by

NLE Choppa’s ex-girlfriend says he isn’t single, but the rapper says that isn’t true. On Thursday, the Memphis rapper made an appearance on The Morning Hustle, a radio show based in Atlanta, and talked about the ongoing issues with his ex-partner Marissa DeNae. He acknowledged her statement that she is pregnant with their child and that he had paid for her IVF treatments, but he maintained that he was still unmarried. NLE Choppa just released his new album, so this interview was part of a promotional press tour. However, given the public state of his former relationship, it makes sense that he can’t escape questions about it.

NLE Choppa hails from Memphis, Tennessee. In recent years, he has garnered significant attention in the music industry due to his breakout hit “Shotta Flow” in 2019. Since then, NLE Choppa has been diligently building his career, earning a dedicated fan base and a strong presence on social media. NLE Choppa has also made strategic collaborations with established artists, showcasing his versatility and potential for long-term success. Most recently, the rapper released his album Cottonwood 2, which features some of the biggest names in the industry.

NLE Choppa’s ex-girlfriend had a lot to say about the rapper in an Instagram story she posted earlier this week. In her posts, she shamed Choppa for “not being there.” However, as the rapper maintains that he is actually single, it appears that his ex may have been saying it for attention. “I Really been trying to hold it down and keep it together,” she wrote. “But I’m honestly just fed tf up. You constantly trying to holla at folks, take folks on dates and etc but you have failed to show up for your child!” She went on to talk about how the rapper paid for IVF but it’s there for appointments.

However, in his interview, Choppa made is expressly clear that he felt he had zero obligation to the woman. “I’m not in a relationship,” the rapper said. “Some people delusional. I am a free man. I am God’s creation. Don’t nobody own me. I ain’t got no cell block number.” Choppa also responded to his ex’s statement about paying for IVF, saying that it was really his way of apologizing for the couple’s previous miscarriage. “[Yeah, I paid for] IVF. I think she worded it wrong,” he said. “I went through IVF because we previously had a miscarriage and that was pretty much my way of another chance at it in a sense.” What do you think? Does NLE Choppa owe his ex-girlfriend more? Let us know in the comments.

Jonathan Majors Arrest: Alleged Assault Victim Is His Girlfriend, Law Enforcement Says

by

The recent arrest of Jonathan Majors shook the pop culture world, and law enforcement reportedly confirmed that his alleged victim is his girlfriend. Moreover, TMZ recently gave an update on this story where they claim that New York City police gave more details on the shocking incident. Furthermore, these reports suggest that the couple found themselves in a taxi when an argument started between the two. According to TMZ, the 33-year-old’s girlfriend saw that another woman texted his phone, and an altercation ensued. Not only that, but these reports allege that Majors got physical when his girlfriend tried to see these alleged text messages on his device.

Specifically, the report indicates that the Creed III star slapped his girlfriend when she tried to see the messages and then put his hands around her neck. In addition to these details, reports also surfaced that law enforcement responded to a call on Saturday morning (March 25) around the Chelsea area in Manhattan regarding this incident. Afterwards, they rushed Majors’ girlfriend to a nearby hospital after they noticed the visible injuries on her face and body.

Jonathan Majors Faced Arrest For Allegedly Assaulting Girlfriend

Also, they promptly brought the California native into custody and placed him in prison, as they thought there was enough evidence to prove probable cause. However, these fresh reports point to the Marvel actor already leaving jail and being free after his Saturday arrest. Not only that, but a representative for Majors denied any wrongdoing and expressed hope that they’ll clear up the situation.

“He’s done nothing wrong,” they remarked to TMZ. “We look forward to clearing his name and clearing this up.” Given the actor’s meteoric rise to fame and acclaim, many fans expressed outrage, disappointment, shock, and disbelief on social media. Along with that, many also pointed to an alleged history of similar behavior. Still, given that it’s just social media reactions and this is just breaking, people are taking this with a grain of salt. With that being said, people will make their own research, reach their own conclusions, and wait for more information. On that last point, stick around on HNHH for the latest on Jonathan Majors.
