Boosie Badazz Emotionally Begs For Daughter’s Forgiveness Over Hurtful Statements

October 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Overall, Boosie Badazz has not been an ally to the LGBTQ+ community, to say the least. While he claims to not have anything against them, his words do speak volumes. They certainly did with the daughter of Boosie Badazz, Poison Ivi. She was deeply hurt over her dad’s destructive comments that he spewed on a live edition of Yung Miami’s Caresha Please podcast. Essentially, he doesn’t want her openly lesbian daughter to “contaminate” his other six girls and wants all of them to “bring me grandchildren the right way”. This prompted an emotional and angered response from Poison Ivi, saying, “Emotionally, mentally, you suck… And I know you suck with that cause you’d rather go to the Internet and have a conversation with the Internet about your kids before you come to us”.

Now, according to AllHipHop, Boosie Badazz is looking for her to forgive him for what he said. He posted a collage of photos of the two of them together and coupled it with an emotional plea. “I SAID SOME THINGS N I DIDNT KNOW ITLL HURT U. YO DADDY TRULY SORRY N I HOPE U CAN FORGIVE ME”, he began. “LIVE N YO TRUTH N JUST KNOW THAT U ALWAYS MY BABY NO MATTER WHAT… ACCEPT MY PUBLIC APOLOGY. “DADDY COULDVE SAID IT N A BETTER WAY… U MY BABY N WILL ALWAYS BE DAT #daddybaby HOPE WE CAN TALK”.

He also reshared a clip of Poison Ivi participating in a #HelpMe challenge posted by Real Boston Richey. He hyped her up, saying, “U MIGHT AS WELL END DA COMPETITION MY BABY WON DIS. SHE JUST LIKE HER DADDY EVERYTHING GON GET HANDLED”. Poison has yet to respond and who knows how long it will take, and that’s if she decides to.

October 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s legal team has put out a statement on his behalf, denying the latest wave of allegations that he sexually abused 120 individuals, including 25 minors. Attorney Tony Buzbee announced that he’s representing the massive group in a press conference on Tuesday, revealing people who were as young as nine years old, 14 years old, and more at the time of the incidents.

In a statement to Rolling Stone, one of Diddy’s lawyers, Erica Wolff, said of the claims: “As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasized, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus. That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors. He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court if and when claims are filed and served, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation.”

At his press conference, Buzbee claimed the nine-year-old met with Diddy at the Bad Boy offices for an audition. “When we talk about the ages of the victims when the conduct occurred, it’s shocking,” Buzbee said. “Our youngest victim at the time of the occurrence was 9 years old. We have an individual who was 14 years old. We have one who was 15.” He also claimed that other high-profile celebrities involved in the scandal will be revealed at a later date.

Fabolous Responds To Lil Durk Saying Hip Hop “Ain’t What It Used To Be”: “It Can’t Be”

October 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In September, Lil Durk raised eyebrows after claiming Hip Hop isn’t what it “used to be.” The “3 Headed Goat” rapper’s remarks came as a surprise, especially considering that at one point, he and several artists from Chicago’s drill era were seen as outsiders in the genre.

Drake’s Reps Deny Sending Kendrick Lamar Cease and Desist For ‘Not Like Us’ During Upcoming Super Bowl LIX

October 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

This is why you can’t believe everything you read, hear and see on the World Wide Web. Drake’s representatives have reportedly denied allegations that he sent Kendrick Lamar a cease and desist order to stop him from performing the song “Not Like Us” at the 2024 Super Bowl halftime show.

As we said in earlier reporting to take Wack’s claims with a heavy grain of salt. These rumors surfaced after Wack 100 suggested that Drake was attempting to prevent Lamar’s performance. Wack had stated, “He’s trying to get the NFL to restrict Kendrick.”

Oh but wait, Wack later clarified his remarks, explaining that he was merely repeating information he had come across. “I read a fcking clip,” Wack said. “I wouldn’t know if Drake sent a cease and desist. Why? Because I don’t represent Kendrick in business or Drake in business, so I wouldn’t know if a cease and desist happened. All I did was read a fcking clip.”

What’s more, a rep for Drake reportedly responded to the claims, saying they are “not true.” The source added, “There was never any intention or plan to send a cease and desist to anyone.”

ICYMI, Kendrick Lamar, who is set to perform at the 2025 Super Bowl halftime show, shared the news with fans earlier, introducing himself in a video: “What the deal everybody, my name is Kendrick Lamar… I’ll be performing at Super Bowl 59. Will you be pulling up?”

He continued and rather sarcastically, “I hope so. You know it’s only one opportunity to win a championship, right? No round twos. I wouldn’t want you to miss it. Meet me in New Orleans [on] February 9, 2025. Wear your best dress too, even if you’re watching from home. Let’s go.”

Lamar also captioned the announcement with, “Super Bowl LIX. New Orleans. February 2025. #AppleMusicHalftime.”

Yea, well anyway, glad we got that cleared up.

Diddy Reportedly Facing Over 100 New Potential Lawsuits

October 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

When it rains it pours, at least when it comes to Sean “Diddy” Combs legal troubles. The disgraced mogul is facing potential lawsuits from over 100 individuals accusing him of sexual abuse and assault.

Here’s what we know. During a press conference on Tuesday, Texas attorney Tony Buzbee announced that he represents 120 accusers who are filing civil suits against the music mogul. The allegations include “violent sexual assault or rape, facilitated sex with a controlled substance, dissemination of video recordings, and sexual abuse of minors.”

This is what Buzbee declared, “We will expose the enablers who allowed this conduct behind closed doors. We will pursue this matter no matter who the evidence implicates.”

What’s more he added, “It’s a long list already, but because of the nature of this case, we are going to make damn sure we are right before we do that. These names will shock you.”

Naturally, in direct response, Combs’ legal team denied the allegations. Combs’ attorney, Erica Wolff, stated in an email to USA TODAY, “As Mr. Combs’ legal team has emphasized, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus. That said, Mr. Combs emphatically and categorically denies as false and defamatory any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors.” She added that Combs looks forward to proving his innocence in court, where “the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation.”

Get this, Buzbee initially announced his intent to pursue claims against Combs on Saturday in an Instagram post, revealing that “many were minors” at the time of the alleged incidents. He wrote, “This group of brave individuals includes both men and women; many were minors when the abuse occurred. Some of these brave individuals reported the incidents to the police, others did not.”

Like with all these accusations, Buzbee described the accusations as “gut-wrenching and heartbreaking,” stating, “The violations against this group of individuals are mindboggling and can only be described as debauchery and depravity, exacted by powerful people against minors and the weak.”

If you have any doubt in Buzbee’s legal capabilities, his firm has a history of handling high-profile cases, including a July lawsuit against R&B singer Chris Brown, as well as representing 22 women who sued Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson for sexual misconduct during massage sessions from early 2020 to March 2021.

YG Arrested For Misdemeanor DUI After Allegedly Parking His Car On A Curb

October 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Authorities have arrested YG for a misdemeanor DUI offense in Burbank, California, according to TMZ, which cited law enforcement sources. Police allegedly spotted him parked up on a curb and standing outside his vehicle on Tuesday morning. In a picture from the scene of the arrest, YG sits on the curb with his arms crossed while speaking with an officer.

YG’s lawyer, Joe Tacopina, told TMZ that he’s still gathering more information on the situation and is focused on his client’s health for the time being. Law enforcement sources also told the outlet it’s unclear if the rapper was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. He didn’t take a breathalyzer test on the scene, but did give up a blood sample.

The legal trouble comes after YG dropped his latest project, JUST RE’D UP 3, back in August. The project sees him collaborating with Babyface Ray, G Herbo, Larry June, Lil Yachty, Mozzy, Saweetie, Tee Grizzley, and Ty Dolla Sign over the course of 19 songs. He also made headlines for leading a peace walk through Compton with members of the rival gangs, Treetop Pirus and Fruit Town Pirus, that same month. “It’s a good day — it’s a good day in Bompton right now!” he said at the event. He also posed for pictures with The Game, who added: “For me, this sh*t bring tears to my eyes homie. To see this much red and sh*t. Westside Bompton, n***a, every hood. Everybody good. Ain’t no bullsh*t. Ain’t nobody feel no tension. This sh*t make a n***a happy. That’s what it do for me. I don’t know what it do for you.”

Zion Williamson Gets Fed Up With Reporter Asking Why Kendrick Lamar Wasn’t On His Playlist

October 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The 2024-2025 NBA season is approaching fast, and this year’s media day has already come and went. However, one team’s player is making some headlines for their press conference appearance. According to Billboard, New Orleans Pelicans star forward Zion Williamson answered various questions throughout his 13 minutes on the mic. However, one reporter toward the end really got on Zion’s nerves. At around the 12:30 mark, the man asks him a two-parter. One of them is basketball related in regard to his new teammate Dejounte Murray. The other one though, was completely unrelated to the Pelicans.

It was a pretty confrontational one, as the reporter inquired, “Why wasn’t Kendrick Lamar on your list for off-season workout playlists”? Previously, Zion Williamson stated that he had been bumping a lot of Nas, Larry June, Curren$y, and Biggie. This obviously pushed some sort of button for the reporter because he feels “like you have two good songs you could’ve been playing in the gym”. Zion wanted to know which songs he was referring to. That’s when the man replied, “‘Euphoria’ and ‘Not Like Us.’ Where was the greatness of the summer in your tracklist”?

Zion Williamson Was Done With The Press Conference After This

The former Duke Blue Devil let the obvious Lamar stan that he’s got a lot of respect for the MC. “I hear you”, he began. However, he just ultimately didn’t choose to have him playing during his training sessions. “But you know, you’re entitled to your opinion. I’m entitled to mine”. Not too long after saying that though, Zion grew frustrated and wound up ending his press conference perhaps sooner than expected after saying, “But saying that c’mon, it’s Kendrick Lamar. Like, I really gotta sit up here and talk about how good of an artist he is”? Overall, it’s a pretty uncomfortable interaction, so if you get secondhand embarrassment, don’t say we didn’t warn you.

What are your thoughts on Zion Williamson leaving his press conference after a back-and-forth debate about Kendrick Lamar? Who do you think was more valid in this situation and why? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding the NBA and Kendrick Lamar.
