“How the hell y’all get a women’s history month?” Trick asked.

“You know how you got here, right?” Princess said. “Women bring life into this world. We have a portal in between our legs that life comes through.”

Princess also spoke on the second divorce filed by Ray J. “Ray filed for divorce for the second time being petty,” she said. She also pointed out that she was a submissive wife who decorated the house for her man every holiday.

Trick tried to rally for Ray J saying he still speaks highly of Princess. But she revealed that Ray J is a very controlling Capricorn.

“Ray and I are great friends. We are great business partners,” she stated.

Princess and Ray J wed in August of 2016. They welcomed their first child, Melody Love Norwood, in May of 2018. They also welcomed a son together in December 2019. Ray J filed for divorce in September 2020.

Letoya Luckett Reveals Destiny’s Child Took A Toll On Her Confidence

April 10, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Letoya Luckett opened up about how being a member of Destiny’s Child affected her confidence.

During a visit to the “Good Moms, Bad Choices” podcast, the original member said being in the group took a toll on her confidence. Before entering the group at age 11, she was singing lead in church and in her previous singing group. Once she became a member of Destiny’s Child, she had to compromise and while in midst of that she lost her confidence.

“With a lot of partnerships, we lose ourselves to become one or we feel it’s going to make us cohesive or make the situation work out better,” Luckett said.

While in the group, she said she had to be flexible and “play her role” not knowing how that would change how she felt about herself.

“I didn’t feel like I couldn’t sing lead when I came out of [Destiny’s Child] because for so long I felt like I had sacrificed myself for the greater good,” the 41-year-old added.

Looking back, she reflected about what she would tell her younger self.

“What I would’ve told my younger self is to not lose myself even being a team player in that situation,” she said. “That I still matter. I still have a voice.”

“Still remain confident in who God created you to be and the gift that He gave you,” she continued. “You don’t have to shrink yourself to be good at your role….I learned so much from that situation.”

The Preacher’s Kid star also spoke about her relationship with her former group members, saying that her departure didn’t ruin their lifelong friendship.

“It’s beautiful that after so many years the love is still there. Through everything we’ve been through people can assume that we hate each other and it didn’t work out and blah blah blah but we were friends first.”

April 9, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Former The Source Magazine owner Benzino allegedly ruined his daughter Coi Leray‘s day by text threatening her and her mother issuing threats. Coi’s debut album ‘Trendsetter’ was released and Benzino was upset with his daughter after she said Benzino went broke after he lost The Source in an interview with The Breakfast Club.Benzino was upset with his daughter’s comments about the ‘dinosaur’ generation and how she missed his money making era because she was older and aware once his funds were low. She heckled Charlamagne about his love for Pusha T and Benzino tweeted the legends deserve more respect from the younger generations.

Check out his tweets below.

To whom this may concern…LEGENDS don’t play the back….they set the standards. Thank you my brothers ⁦@cthagod⁩ & ⁦@djenvy⁩ for sticking up for me and not letting a false narrative of who I am and what I’ve accomplished happen. I put in too much work in the culture. pic.twitter.com/vMgBNw9dfJ

— Benzino (@IAMBENZINO) April 7, 2022

The problem with this social generation is they have no respect or regard for who came before then and how they laid the blueprint for them to be successful. I always revered those who came before me and I am grateful to the legends of Hip Hop.

— Benzino (@IAMBENZINO) April 7, 2022

…and I’m tired this “old talk” Hip hop is over 40 years young and the ones who appeal to older and younger will be the most successful. Anyone who thinks that because you’re in you’re 40’s and 50’s you should just go sit in a rocking chair and still don’t live out and…

— Benzino (@IAMBENZINO) April 7, 2022

..pursue their dreams and aspirations and idiots. All you young people who are in their 20s and successful at rapping, chances are you still will be rapping in your 50s PERIOD. When the younger generation starts listening more and respect the older before them..

— Benzino (@IAMBENZINO) April 7, 2022

…is when LIFE will be better and our entire CULTURE will be better….and let’s make one thing very clear, COMMENTERS AND LIKES ARE PROGRAMS AND SMOKING MIRRORS. The only thing that matters to me is what I can see and feel and BENZINO IS LOVED ALL OVER THE WORLD!

April 8, 2022 by newhiphopnews

MC Akilah Nehanda has taken social media by storm with her controversial unapologetic freestyles.
From vaccinations to R.Kelly and now the Will Smith episode she voices her ‘unpopular opinion’ on trending topics. Garnering over 1 million views on TikTok, empress Akilah thanked viewers on her Instagram page.

1 million For the second time. #APDTA Listen! I just bring different perspectives! Will Smith can apologize. Jada can even say it was unnecessary and she doesn’t need protection! That doesn’t change my thoughts on the matter whatsoeverrrr. I SAID WHAT I SAID! I wish Breonna Taylors Killers got as much disciplinary actions for murder as Will is getting for a SLAP. All of them need to be in rehabilitation centers like they made Will go to This country is sick. I hope y’all are watching what’s happening.

In a past interview with Vice magazine, the Houston beauty explained how and why she ventured into music.

I just started makin’ music, with the purpose of inspiration, and then, like you said, I just start realizing, “You know what? This can be bigger than what I’m makin’ it. I can make this bigger.” And I think — I try to think big, so I’m always like… the influence of Michael Jackson, that’s what we need, you know? [laughs] You know how big he was? This message deserves that type of impact on the world.

What do you think about her freestyles?

[WATCH] Twitter Roasts Chris Rock After Old Videos Resurface Of Him Shading Black Women

April 4, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Last week Chris Rock’s brother Tony Rock came to Chris’s defense after he was slapped by Will Smith at the Academy Awards for disrespecting Jada Pinkett-Smith.

After watching the world go through a phase of ‘protect the black woman’ it was interesting to see the response after a man well…protected his black woman.
The feelings and history behind black hair is way deeper than poor comedic jokes. From alopecia to being told our hair is ‘bad’— black women have endured years of embarrassment at the expense of a few laughs. From being called nappy-headed, bald-headed and worse, it’s expected that men with black moms, aunts and relatives understand the pain behind black hair. Acceptance, convenience, time-management and lack of hair knowledge have all contributed to black women’s hair journey. While it can be as personal to many as personal hygiene, it’s always baffling when men speak on issues that pertain to women.

Tony Rock tweeted that everyone should watch his brother’s movie ‘Good Hair’ to prove Chris has nothing against ‘women of color’. This quickly turned bad when he was reminded how badly Chris portrayed Black women in ‘Good Hair’ a movie he allegedly stole from another Black woman.
From explaining to White America how and why Michelle Obama wears weaves to turning his nose up at women who relax their hair Chris Rock’s disdain for black women’s hair choices were inevitable. His film Good Hair was supposed to teach others about our hair journey. Reminiscent of the kid that goes to school and tells all his family’s business. While celebrities supported the film and women in the film laughed nervously—most black women cringed through his movie. From questioning a child about her perm to trying to sell black hair no one wanted, it was just another slap in the face to the women we are supposed to protect. While Chris Rock’s own relationships have seemed to fail in spite of him choosing women with awesome hair choices, the question remains…is it a man’s business to discuss what a woman does with her hair?
Watch these clips below and Twitter’s response.

It was a horrible movie that further showed Chris Rock’s disdain for Black women.

NOT ONCE (in the entire movie) was anybody allowed to talk about how Black Men have pressured BW historically to look more “Eurocentric” & rewarded/dated/married those BW who imitated Euro hair. https://t.co/2EwVgGPnqH

— WRITER KOLA BOOF (@KolaBoof3) March 31, 2022

Women of color ? No it’s BLACK WOMEN. Get it correct! And all that documentry did was clown Black women, I’ve seen plenty of clips in the replies. https://t.co/Mur6BPaRMZ

— Black is a reality, not an identity (@coloredgirl143) March 31, 2022

We did. That’s WHY we know all he does is disrespect WOC.

Good hair was literally a black man explaining black Womens hair to white people while under the guise of “educating” he made cheap shots and indirect critic of how black women did their hair https://t.co/uaOWwdNI4Z

— Its Will ‘Slap a Hoe’ Smith (@BNashes88) March 31, 2022

You mean the movie he stole and in the movie he told an Indian woman to run the other way if she saw black women because they would steal her hair? Yeah sure we totally changed the narrative. https://t.co/f159yrul0n

— .hack//da sound hashira (@Etrouse) March 31, 2022

The movie Good Hair was made by your brother to shame Black women about our hair. Cut the bullshit. In the movie, he told an Indian girl to run in another direction if she saw a Black woman. Will should have hit him harder. https://t.co/qLWDyaKVKY
