Hip Hop News

Their last public-ish altercation was over a year ago, but Tommie Lee and Brittney Taylor reportedly still have animosity brewing. By all accounts, Tommie and Taylor were friends back in March 2020 until they were involved in a confrontation that reportedly took place at Tommie’s home. The Love & Hip Hop stars were joined by Bobby Lytes, rapper Trina’s cousin from the Miami franchise, and another unnamed friend. Tommie recorded everything that went down and the video showed a drunk Brittney getting into a physical altercation with the unidentified person.

Soon after, Brittney popped up on Instagram Live with Lee and Lytes, appearing visibly intoxicated as she attempted to explain away the fight. Over a year later, things came full circle this (June 6) evening when they all reunited at the afterparty for Eve and Trina’s Verzuz. 

The Shade Room shared videos that showed Tommie Lee with Lytes once again and they seemed to be enjoying their section at a club before Tommie can be seen yelling at someone in the distance. The outlet reported that Tommie and Brittney faced off once again, and in the clip, the woman Tommie was shouting at is seen being physically carried out by a man.

There are rumors that the woman isn’t Taylor but is a friend of Brittney’s who goes by the name “Haitian Princess.” Over on her Instagram Story, she shows behind-the-scenes clips of the Verzuz as she was side-stage with Taylor and Lytes. For those of you who may not remember, Brittney Taylor was the person who accused Remy Ma of attacking her. The charges were later dropped.

Back in 2016, in the thick of their on-again-off-again relationship, Kylie Jenner showed her dedication to Tyga by getting a small tattoo of a lowercase “t.” He got one for her as well, but the pair would eventually split for good and move on, and later, she reportedly altered the ink to read, “LA.” We’re not sure just how many women may have skin art in honor of the hitmaking rapper, but Tyga and his new lady friend recently shared the first look at their tattoos that show they’re locked in.

Tyga and girlfriend Camaryn Swanson have been the subject of rumors and it seems that they’ve doubled down on their love by taking a trip to the tattooist’s chair. 

Photos show that he got “Cam” tattooed on his wrist while she opted for “t raww” down her neck. Days ago, the couple was the subject of engagement rumors after Page Six reported that Swanson was seen wearing a diamond ring on her left ring finger as the couple left an L.A. party. Neither has confirmed or denied the rumors, but this latest escapade to get tattoos just further fuels the rumor mill.

It’s unclear when they began dating or how long they’ve known each other, but Tyga and Swanson went public back in March. The 22-year-old fashion designer has regularly posted her adventures with the 31-year-old rapper, so expect to see more of these two in the future. Check out a few posts below.

As an A-lister with a busy schedule, it doesn’t seem as if Jamie Foxx has time for much else outside of his television series and film deals. Yet, that’s exactly what the Oscar-winning entertainer has done as he’s written a new book, Act Like You Got Some Sense: And Other Things My Daughters Taught Me, and the title is reportedly inspired by wise words given to Foxx from his grandmother.

Entertainment Weekly shared an excerpt from the forthcoming release and they reported that inside, Foxx spins tales of his Texas upbringing into the development of his career. The multi-hyphenate performer is the father of two daughters, actress Corinne Foxx and pre-teen Anelise (reports also spell her name “Annalise”), and he details the lessons that come with fathering girls in today’s culture.

A portion of the excerpt reads:

My grandparents told me they wanted me to have every tool in my toolbox – the educational tool, the artistic tool, the discipline tool, the moral tool. My grandmother wanted me to be worldly enough that I would be able to connect with any person in any room I walked into. She also wanted me to have a strong moral compass, because she knew when I moved away from Terrell and got out in the world, there would be many temptations and times when I needed to be able to say “No.”

Estelle Talley was the most influential figure in turning little nappy-headed Eric Bishop into the man I eventually became.

He added:

When I am deep in the weeds, trying to figure out how to parent my daughters, it is the voice of my grandmother I hear in my head, encouraging me, and of course yelling at me when I’m messing up as a parent. Thanks to her, I knew that it wasn’t about always being your kids’ best friend but being a parent. Even when it means you gotta be tough with them. Sometimes you gotta be tough because you love them. Just like she always loved me.

Over on Instagram, Foxx shared the cover of his book and in the caption, he detailed the journey it took to get it finished. “A book about the relationships between two of the most important people in my life,” he said. “My beautiful daughters… @corinnefoxx and Anelise Foxx… while writing this book I discovered feelings and emotions that I didn’t even know existed… There would be times that I would break out laughing and also times that I would shed tears.”

Act Like You Got Some Sense: And Other Things My Daughters Taught Me arrives on bookshelves on October 19. Let us know if you’ll be purchasing this one.

Newlyweds Jeezy and Jeannie Mai are living it up as they enjoy the first few months of their marriage. The two tied the knot earlier this year in an intimate ceremony, and the happy couple has shared bits and pieces of their home life for fans. Days ago, Jeezy shared a photo of himself and his wife soaking up a bit of sun as they relaxed over an ocean view next to an infinity pool. Marriage is treating them well, and Jeannie expressed just how good she has it during a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight.

“Oh my god. Married life feels 1,000 percent different than when we were dating, in the greatest way,” said The Real co-host.

“I loved our dating life because we really spent such concentrated quality time getting to know each other and making sure that we were right for each other,” she said. “Now being married, it’s even more handled with such delicacy and such thoughtfulness, because we’re in our forties and we both grew up in households that weren’t healthy marriages. We have never seen what that looks like.”

Jeannie added that because of their backgrounds, feeling trusted and loved is of the utmost importance. “We want to feel cuddles. We want to feel the romance,” she added. “We want to feel dating, want to be hot and heavy with sex. Like, you want all those things. Human beings want those same things. Why can’t you communicate exactly what that should look like in order to customize the relationship you have and work towards it?”

Check out a few snaps of the couple below.

Immediately after the news was shared that King Von was murdered in Atlanta last November, Asian Doll has been honoring his legacy. The pair were once in a relationship and loved each other, so Asian Doll not only shared videos where the two exchanged affections, but she got an impressive, life-like image of his face tattooed with an iced-out chain to match.

Yet, the rapper has been criticized for posting about the late rising Chicago star as people told her that she was overdoing it with her emotions. Doll remained steadfast and has continued to boast about Von, even warring with his family members about their relationship. The Hip Hop community has witnessed much of this go down on social media, and Foolio decided it’s something that he doesn’t want.

“Real sh*t. If somethin’ ever happen to me, bro, don’t be an Asian Doll,” he said in a video. “If you know what we was on and we didn’t talk like that, don’t be extra. For real. Don’t be on that Asian [Doll].” Akademiks reposted the clip and it didn’t take long for people to weigh in. In another video, Foolio added, “Y’all gotta stop that fake ass sh*t.”

It was recently shared by Von’s sister that a woman is carrying the late rapper’s child and they celebrated her baby shower. Following the news, Asian Doll responded by giving her timeline of her relationship with Von, adding that they broke up in October, not long before he was killed. Check out Foolio’s videos below and let us know if you agree with him.

All he wanted to do was give a few positive thoughts on Twitter, but somehow the moment rehashed The Game’s legal battle with Priscilla Rainey. The rapper has been regularly sharing thoughts and musings on social media, including a tweet that went viral on Wednesday (June 16). “Let’s normalize being normal,” Game wrote. “You don’t need a Chanel bag or a BBL to be considered beautiful & feel like you’re more of a woman.”

“And my n*ggas, working a regular job & driving a cool lil whip is still cool af to me,” he added. “Stop letting this social media sh*t f*ck y’all heads up !!!” It all seemed simple enough, and The Neighborhood Talk reposted the message with a caption that reads, “The Game with a message [eyeball emoji] Has he paid that 7 million yet?” They were referring to Rainey’s case against the rapper.

The Game isn’t one to miss a beat, so he interjected. “Nope, n he ain’t…,” he commented on the post. Back in 2016, we reported that The Game was ordered to pay Rainey a $7 million judgment after she accused him of sexual assault. Rainey was one of several contestants on She’s Got Game, a VH1 dating reality show that aired back in 2015. Rainey accused the rapper of inappropriate contact, stating that he “forcefully reach[ed] his hand inside her dress to rub her bare vagina and buttocks.” 

Throughout the trial and beyond, Game has maintained his innocence. Check out his post below.

In a move that surprises practically no one, Logic has returned. It was back in the summer of 2020 when Logic announced that he was backing away from the spotlight, sharing that his last album No Pressure would be his final. He spoke at length about how he had come to that decision, but almost immediately, the rapper was on Livestream talking about making beats and soon, there were murmurs that he was working with mega-producer, Madlib.

What has developed is MadGic, a Madlib-Logic mashup, and over the last few months, we’ve received singles like “Mars Only Pt. 3,” “Mafia Music,” and “Raddest Dad.” On Wednesday (June 16), Logic reappeared with another announcement, this time taking a page from Michael Jordan’s playbook.

“The following statement was released today by Logic, through his attorney Paul Rothenberg Partner of Rothenberg, Mohr & Binder, LLP located in NYC, in response to questions about his future career plans: ‘I’m back,'” Logic shared in a tweet. He added “Friday” in the caption, letting everyone know to stay on their toes for something new this week.

In March 1995, Jordan shared his two-page fax that reads almost verbatim to what Logic shared., “The following statement was released today by Michael Jordan, through his personal attorney and business manager David B. Falk, Chairman of Falk Associates Enterprises, Inc. (‘FAME’) located in Washington, D.C., in response to questions about his future career plans: ‘I’m back.'”

Check out Logic’s tweet below and let us know if you’re excited to hear more music from him.

“Big Little Lies” actress Zoë Kravitz will step behind the camera and take a seat in the director’s chair for the first time in an upcoming film. 

While this is the first time Kravitz will hold the directing title, she has gained experience by contributing with production for Hulu’s High Fidelity alongside her starring role.

The film, titled Pussy Island, will follow the story of Frida, an L.A. waitress who strategically inserts herself in tech-billionaire Slater King’s circle and scores an invite to a party on a private island. The smart young woman can tell that something dark is brewing beyond the glitz and the glam of the elite, and seeks to find out exactly what that is.

When speaking of the eyebrow-raising title of the film, Kravitz told Deadline:

“The title means a lot of things… it alludes to this time and place we claim to not be in anymore, in terms of sexual politics. People are evolving and changing but there is still a bad taste in a lot of people’s mouths from past behavior. It’s a nod to that, but it’s also playful, and a really playful film in a lot of ways. I like that the title leads with that and has some heavy meaning beneath it.”

Kravitz originally wrote Pussy Island with the mindset she would cast herself as Frida. Instead, she has chosen to give the role to somebody else in order to fully step behind the scenes for her first directing position. It is unknown who is likely to secure the leading role alongside Magic Mike’s Channing Tatum as Slater King.

Tatum was shocked that he was chosen for the role stating:

“When Zoë called me about this, I was shocked. I didn’t know her… This came out of nowhere and the subject matter made me say, wait, why are you thinking about me for this? No one gives me a chance to play a role like this, everybody throws me down a different alley and expects me to do a certain thing. It was scary and liberating, just to be able to have a free conversation.” 

The film is set to begin production next year.
