Ice Spice Is Overjoyed With Herself For Doing Her First Pull-Up Amid Weight Transformation

October 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ice Spice and her weight loss transformation have caused quite the stir online, yet it’s sadly dominated by trolls launching Ozempic allegations and other odd comments about one’s personal fitness journey. Nevertheless, she’s putting in that work… Even if she appears to have a long way to go. The Bronx femcee recently took to social media with a video of her doing her first pull-up, one of many she’ll complete while she shares her workout sessions with fans. She may still be a beginner if she hadn’t done a pull-up before, but everyone’s routine is different, so keep the judgements to yourself.

In fact, there’s another conversation going around about Ice Spice’s physical transformation, although this one is fortunately much more civil. For those unaware, she recently popped out for the Victoria’s Secret fashion show, donning a new black hairstyle that caused some divide among fans. Some prefer the “Munch” hitmaker’s striking orange curls, whereas others are more of a fan of slicked and darker shades or even her bob cut. As ridiculous as this debate might sound to some, image and style have always been important elements of an artist’s identity, especially in her field and in today’s age.

Elsewhere, though, Ice Spice has to deal with other kinds of trolls: the ones who thirst for rap beef. You most likely know of the Cold-ish War between her and Latto, with both femcees not really wanting to fully get into it for their own personal reasons. But that doesn’t mean that subliminal shots and shady references can’t still fly around. For example, the Atlanta lyricist seemed to target Spice via her feature on GloRilla’s new album GLORIOUS, although that’s just a theory.

Regardless of whether this beef continues or not, Ice Spice has much more important fish to fry. She recently settled a copyright lawsuit over “In Ha Mood,” which came from a Brooklyn rapper named D.Chamberz who alleged that her song was “strikingly similar” to his 2021 track, “In That Mood.” It seems like the specific terms of the settlement aren’t public yet, but both sides’ legal teams confirmed this in federal court, according to Billboard. Now “Princess Diana” can return to her pull-up bar.

Vybz Kartel Reveals His Biggest Priority Following Release From Prison

August 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

After 13 years, Vybz Kartel and three co-defendants gained their release from Jamaican prison on July 31. Back in 2014, the court sentenced the dancehall legend to life in prison for the 2011 murder of Clive “Lizard” Williams. Williams was one of Kartel’s associates at the time. Kartel’s trial was the longest in the island’s history, lasting 65 days. Toward the end of the process, the jury suspected that a juror was offering bribes to the other jurors. That contributed to Vybz receiving a guilty verdict, though he always maintained his innocence.

This past March, a London appeals court threw out the defendants’ convictions. They stated that allowing the juror accused of bribery to continue serving led to a “miscarriage of justice.” The Jamaican Court of Appeal then decided a retrial wasn’t worth the effort and set the four men free. Besides the passage of time between trials, the court also cited Vybz’s poor health in their explanation. Vybz Kartel suffers from Graves’ disease and an undisclosed heart condition, likely in part from the poor conditions of the prison he served his term in. His doctor gave statements in court saying that his heart was in such bad shape that he could die in his sleep at any time. Now that he’s free, he wants to get healthier.

Vybz Kartel Looking To Get Healthy After Prison Release

“Just finished my morning workout […] I can’t overdo it yet […] You know what I say, fitness and family? That’s the greatest,” said Vybz Kartel in the video, clearly sweating from his workout. The 48-year-old is hopeful to get back to normal after his time in prison. In a recent interview with Fox 5 New York’s Lisa Evers, he mentioned that he also purchased a bike and a treadmill to “hit the ground running” in his fitness journey.

Kartel stayed active musically during his time in prison. Between 2011 and 2024, he released nearly two dozen mixtapes and albums. To celebrate his newfound freedom, he released First Week Out, a mixtape of loosies from the last few years of his career. Now that he’s back home, the artist is looking to turn his life around and get back to doing what he’s made his living doing best.

Tia Mowry Expertly Turns Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Into A Gym-Inspired Dance Routine

June 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tia Mowry is a beloved actress who continues to engage with fans on social media. Overall, she is not afraid to share a dance routine with her fans when that inspiration strikes. One song that has certainly been inspiring many to show off their moves, is “Not Like Us.” There are plenty of ways to dance to the track, although West Coast artists and dancers certainly have the routine locked down. As you will see, however, Mowry offered a unique twist on the trend.

In the video down below, Mowry could be seen working out when she ultimately used her surroundings to make the dance happen. For instance, Mowry danced along with dumbbells in her hands. Moreover, she did the same dance but on the treadmill. It was tongue-in-cheek and humorous, but at the same time, pretty damn good. “Not Like Us” has proven to be the song of the summer so far, and we’re sure plenty more videos like this are on the horizon.

She can’t go no wrong in my eyes!” said another. At this point, the momentum of this song cannot die down. Of course, we have the “Not Like Us” music video on the horizon. And we can just imagine what is going to come from all of that. Hopefully, it can live up to the hype.

21 Savage & G Herbo Make Fun Of Lil Bibby’s Gym Attire

May 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

21 Savage and G Herbo aren’t typically known to be Internet comedians, but they can always find the humor in some odd posts that they come across. Moreover, Lil Bibby recently posted a picture of him in the gym with a Cuban chain and a watch on, which the two MCs found to be a pretty comical and cumbersome fit. “N***a ain’t never taking off that cuban [crying-laughing emoji],” the Atlanta rapper commented under his Instagram post, whereas the Chicago spitter had this to say: “Bro f**k is you steady wearing big a** chains & pateks to the gym for? Go to the club or sum [crying-laughing emojis].” “gotta wear da s**t somewhere [red drop emoji],” Bibby responded to the “Neph Nem” artist.

However, this is honestly much better press than what Lil Bibby’s been used to these days, especially if you’re a Juice WRLD fan. For example, fans have repeatedly accused him of selling the late Chicago creative’s catalog, claims which he denied, and of overall mismanaging his legacy as an artist after his tragic passing. When calamities like this strike the hip-hop world, it’s always very difficult to know how to move forward. When they strike musicians as beloved, influential, and successful as Juice, the pressure mounts even higher.

Meanwhile, beyond teasing Lil Bibby for his gym fit, 21 Savage is somewhat keeping busy in other rap realm happenings, if only in a one-sided manner. Folks might have already forgotten about the recent beef between him and Soulja Boy, one that Soulja was the main instigator in. While the London-born lyricist simply stepped in to defend his frequent collaborator Metro Boomin, the “Crank Dat” hitmaker is still looking for smoke. Who knows if this spat actually evolves into a rivalry?

Elsewhere, Lil Bibby’s fellow Chicagoan G Herbo is trying to make sure his fans understand to draw a line between online clout and personal lives. He recently requested fans to refrain from asking him for a picture when he’s with his kids, which is a very natural and reasonable idea. Maybe Bibby should’ve set those ground rules when it comes to his own social media posts. If he’s at the gym, no ice comments allowed.

March 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this month, Megan Thee Stallion announced her upcoming “Hot Girl Summer” tour, which kicks off in May. Joining her on the 31-date run will be none other than GloRilla. They’re scheduled to hit major cities like NYC, Atlanta, Chicago, LA, and more. Needless to say, fans can’t wait to see the performers live. It looks like at least one of the femcees has some training to do before she sets off on tour, however.

Today, GloRilla took to Instagram to share a clip of herself hitting the gym. In the clip, she’s seen doing some squats with a pair of shades and even a few chains on. “Getting ready for da Hot girl summer tour like @theestallion what we doing ???????,” she captioned her post. In a follow-up comment, she clarified that she is truly hard at work getting in shape for tour, and wasn’t just playing along for the fun video. “I honestly do workout everyday y’all like no playing sh*t,” she wrote.

She even stopped by the White House recently for a Women’s History Month reception. She shared a series of fun photos and videos from the event on Instagram afterward, posing with Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and more.

What do you think of GloRilla revealing that she’s been hitting the gym daily in preparation for her upcoming tour with Megan Thee Stallion?

Jonathan Majors Hits The Gym Amid New Lawsuit

March 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jonathan Majors is sweating the new lawsuit filed against him by ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari. Jabbari has filed a civil suit seeking damages for alleged abuse and defamation. Earlier this year, Jabbari won a criminal trial against Majors, who is yet to be sentenced. However, Majors appeared unbothered as he spoke at an LA gym to TMZ. Elsewhere in the interview, Majors called current partner Meagan Goode “his heart”.

Furthermore, it’s not the first time that Majors has been spotted at the gym in recent weeks. In early March, Majors was spotted going hard at the gym amid rumors that he is in the running for a new film role. Per TMZ, Majors was in LA for an audition this week, where he has also been working with a team of specialist trainers. However, there is no word on what the project might be. Majors, who will be sentenced in April after being found guilty of misdemeanor assault and harassment, is reportedly splitting his time between LA and New York. In LA, it’s all work, with plenty of gym time. However, his NYC time is more laidback, typically spent with partner Meagan Good.

Jonathan Majors Faces New Allegations From Two Ex-Partners

However, Jabbari’s new lawsuit isn’t the only part of Majors’ past that is haunting him. Two women, Emma Duncan and Maura Hooper, recently went public with allegations of physical and emotional abuse against Majors. Both women had their allegations referred to in a Rolling Stone exposé about Majors last year. However, the pair have since publicly reiterated their claims in an interview with The New York Times. Duncan claims that Majors “threw her across the room” and “threatened to make sure she couldn’t have children” during a fight in 2016. Meanwhile, Hooper called Majors “deeply controlling” and told her she was “not allowed to speak with anyone about the relationship”. Majors denied the accusations. However, his attorney noted that the actor was “deeply embarrassed by some of his jealous behavior”. Both women had previously declined to speak directly to Rolling Stone, with one citing a fear of retribution.

The testimony of Duncan and Hooper follows semi-public claims from another woman, who spoke to The Cut under a pseudonym. “Anna” told the publication that she had pulled her story from the Rolling Stone article after receiving a threatening letter warning her not to go public with her allegations. According to “Anna”, the phone number included with the letter was linked to the law firm retained by Majors for his criminal trial last year. Majors’ attorney denied any involvement from her or her firm in the letter.

Jonathan Majors Undergoes Intense Gym Session For Rumored New Role

March 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jonathan Majors has been spotted going hard at the gym amid rumors that he is in the running for a new film role.

In LA, it’s all work, with plenty of gym time. However, his NYC time is more laidback, typically spent with partner Meagan Good.

It’s not the first time that Majors has to have been ripped for a role. He had an imposing physique in his brief appearances as Kang in the MCU. Furthermore, there was also Magazine Dreams, in which Majors played an increasingly obsessive bodybuilder. However, Magazine Dreams does not currently have a release date. Searchlight Pictures, a subsidiary of Disney, acquired the distribution rights to the film after it opened to rave reviews at Sundance 2023. It was meant to be released in December but was shelved in light of Majors’ legal issues.

50 Cent Reveals Why He’s All About Abstinence

January 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Having sex is great, but killing it in the gym is better, according to 50 Cent. The NYC-born mogul recently took to social media to reveal that he’s been living an abstinent lifestyle as of late, and he claims it has its perks. Fif says that refraining from sex actually helps him to do better when he works out, and it’s something that he’d highly recommend.

“I’m focused man,” he began his Instagram caption. “Practicing abstinence is helping me train harder. I feel great I think more people should try it. @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi.” Alongside his message, 50 Cent shared a series of photos of himself posing in a snazzy suit jacket from what appears to be his personal wine cellar.

To ring in 2024, 50 Cent previously announced that he’d decided to practice abstinence in order to make the new year his best one yet. “My new idea is so big, I don’t have time to be distracted,” he explained. “I’m practicing abstinence, I have been meditating and focusing on my goals. I hope this New Year helps you excel to the next level.” The 48-year-old does have a lot on his plate these days, between music, his TV shows, and of course, his relentless Diddy trolling campaign.

Regardless, he promises that things will only go up from here. “Baby said if I ain’t gonna do it, she ain’t gonna do it, now you know I like that,” he wrote last week. “This is the year I’m gonna win so BIG YA HEAD GONNA SPIN. I ain’t got time for bullsh!t. @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi.” What do you think of 50 Cent opening up about his abstinent lifestyle? Do you think it could have its perks?

One specific example she used is when he met Ginuwine. What do you think of Ginuwine’s impressive gym progress after just two weeks? Let us know in the comment section below.
