Rich Paul & Adele Spotted Boo’d Up At Super Agent’s Birthday Party

December 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Rich Paul shared a photo of himself and Adele looking regal at his recent 43rd birthday party. Paul shared the picture alongside a collection of others from the bash. “Smile and enjoy life’s ride , the critics will always critique what’s unique . No need to invest in the camera’s flash it doesn’t last , just let the dice roll , the winners circle is colored in with losses and comebacks , the weight is carried on the back of the mentally strong and Gods chosen, there’s wise amongst the young and the old, I’ve gone up and down and around 43 times, and what I’ve learned most is NEVER FOLD!!!!” he added as a caption on Instagram.

However, speculation is still circulating about whether the Paul secretly tied the knot a few weeks ago. Adele was spotted seemingly wearing a wedding ring just days after appearing to confirm she and long-time partner Rich Paul had tied the knot. Adele’s new bling was spotted several times as she and Paul sat courtside at Lakers-Mavericks on Wednesday night. The weekend prior, Adele appeared to confirm that she and Paul had tied the knot after two years. The singer reportedly made the confession during an appearance at the comedy show of her long-time friend Alan Carr. “I was at Alan Carr’s comedy show in LA tonight and Adele was in the audience,” wrote one fan. “Alan asked the crowd if anyone got married recently and Adele shouted ‘I did,’” read an anonymous report on Deuxmoi.

Elsewhere at Rich Paul’s party, Cam’ron finally had the opportunity to link up with his long-time crush Nia Long. “He want the scoop, she want the tea. I can not talk, we keeping it street! @iamnialong aka Ni-Amore,” Cam’ron gushed on Instagram. Long kept her own caption a little more casual, simply saying “Nice meeting you @mr_camron. Happy Birthday @richpaul”. All this came after Long, who has kept away from the spotlight following the Ime Udoka drama, declared herself “outside” with a pre-party selfie.

Of course, Cam’ron has had a very public crush on Long for a good while. Earlier this month, Cam’ron revealed that after her split with Udoka, he had sent Long a lengthy DM. However, in revealing this, Cam’ron also noted that Long had left him on delivered and had not read the message.

Darius Jackson Seeks Restraining Order Against Keke Palmer Amid Abuse Allegations

December 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Last month, Keke Palmer filed for a restraining order against Darius Jackson, the father of her child. She accused the fitness trainer of physical and emotional abuse, additionally filing for temporary sole custody of their son, Leodis. Earlier this month, things took an unexpected turn when he filed a motion alleging that the new mother had abused him on various occasions. Now, he’s petitioning for his own domestic violence restraining order against Palmer, appearing in court today to file.

Jackson accuses Palmer of choking him, hitting him, and more. He further alleges that she’s been verbally abusive, bombarding him with emails after their disagreements. He even provided alleged text messages from Palmer to back up his claims, which appear to show her apologizing for the incidents.

“I’m sorry for hitting you,” one of the alleged messages from Palmer reads. “I’m sorry for being afraid to lose you and that turning into me acting out of fear and desperation. That was not the best me that you received and I’m sorry for that.” This latest development has come as a shock to fans and peers, prompting plenty of them to chime in. Jackson’s brother, Sarunas, even recently retweeted a post suggesting that Palmer owes him an apology. Tasha K also shared her take on the situation, claiming that Palmer “allowed the public to think that Darius was abusive all because HE DIDNT WANT HER anymore.”

“The public emasculated him, called him broke, and all sorts of horrible things over a bitter woman NOT understanding her worth & value so much so she couldn’t fathom how dare a so-called BROKE man could walk away from a BROKEN woman,” she added.

Carmelo Anthony “Throwback” Performance Blows Jadakiss Away

December 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

On a recent joint appearance on 7pm in Brooklyn, Carmelo Anthony found a way to wow his close friend Jadakiss. As Jadakiss gave Usher his flowers for his recently-ended Vegas residency, he also mentioned that he still fondly remembered his time working with Usher. A moment later, Anthony was dropping a perfect cover of Kiss’ verse from that collaboration, “Throwback”. “He killed it!” Jadakiss exclaimed once Anthony had powered through the verse. You can watch Melo’s impromptu performance below. Let us know in the comments what you thought of Melo’s performance.

Jadakiss and Melo have been friends for most of Anthony’s professional basketball career. After Melo retired in May, Kiss was sure to honor his close friend. As Jadakiss began his performance at an Air Jordan event in July, he played audio from the 2003 NBA Draft, specifically the announcement of Melo going third overall to the Nuggets. Melo was in the crowd and was evidentially touched by the unorthodox shoutout. Kiss has also referred to Anthony as his “little brother” on numerous occasions during their friendship. Furthermore, Kiss’ son previously called his dad the “Melo of the [music] industry”, drawing yet another parallel between the pair.

Drake Links Up With Camelo Anthony’s Son

However, Melo isn’t the only one with hip-hop connections. While walking through the crowd at Madison Square Garden during an It’s All A Blur tour stop, Drake spotted a familiar face. The Toronto rapper bounded over to embrace and greet Kiyan Anthony, Melo’s son. Furthermore, evidence from social media indicated that the pair had grabbed a picture together after the show.

Kiyan is a four-star recruit in the class of 2025. He is ranked #45 by 247 Sports and #52 by ESPN. He currently has a wealth of collegiate offers, including his father’s alma mater Syracuse. Additionally, Carmelo Anthony revealed in post-retirement interviews that he had intended to retire earlier, but that his son encouraged him to keep playing. Kiyan’s other offers are from Bryant, George Mason, Manhattan, and Memphis.

NBA YoungBoy’s House Arrest Terms Altered By Judge

December 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

NBA YoungBoy has recently received a modification to his house arrest sentence. The news comes as YoungBoy awaits trial on federal gun charges, where he faces allegations of being a “felon in possession of a firearm” during a 2020 incident in Baton Rouge.

‘Harm’s Way’

A judge has recently granted NBA YoungBoy’s house arrest modification request, altering the terms of his home confinement. While the ruling allows for increased access to mental health treatments, it denies his request for more studio time.

In a ruling on Monday, Dec. 18, Judge Shelly Dick made modifications to the Baton Rouge rapper’s house arrest terms, according to court documents. The judge allowed the “Bandit” rapper to receive additional mental health treatments but declined his request for extended studio time.

Judge Dick expressed concern that granting more studio time could potentially put people in “harm’s way,” including NBA YoungBoy himself.

‘Low Record Sales’

NBA YoungBoy has been confined to his Utah home for the past two years under a 24-hour lockdown, except for medical appointments, court appearances, and activities approved by his pretrial supervision officer, according to court filings.

The rapper’s assertion of suffering mentally due to his confinement led to his request for modifications. He argued that his current situation has negatively impacted his music career, claiming “low record sales” due to his house arrest.

NBA YoungBoy Battles Legal Pushback In Bid To Alleviate House Arrest

Federal prosecutors are opposing NBA YoungBoy’s plea to ease the restrictions of his house arrest, citing concerns about his mental health and declining music sales. The Louisiana rapper’s attorney filed a petition, seeking modifications to the conditions of his house arrest, but the prosecution is strongly contesting the motion.

Mental Health Matters

NBA YoungBoy is facing a legal battle involving his Utah house arrest. On Monday, Nov. 27, NBA YoungBoy’s attorney, William K. Morris, filed a petition to modify the conditions of his current house arrest and is facing heavy pushback from the prosecution.

The rapper’s legal team argued that his current confinement has taken a toll on his emotional well-being, leading to weight loss, sleep deprivation, and a sense of hopelessness regarding his future career prospects. Prosecutors are opposing this request, sparking a heated debate over the extent of the “Right Foot Creep” rapper’s mental health concerns and his ability to seek proper treatment.

Prosecutors Say No

Assistant U.S. Attorney William K. Morris expressed:

“The United States fails to see how the defendant’s current conditions of pretrial release prohibit him from seeking and obtaining mental health treatment. Being confined to his home and unable to complete his employment obligations has led to great anxiety, depression, loss of weight and sleep. NBA YoungBoy has been visibly stressed and has expressed concern and loss of hope that he will be able to return to his contracted employment obligation.”

As the Baton Rouge native’s legal team attempts to have a federal court alleviate the house arrest terms due to depression and mental health issues, prosecutors say they disagree.

The prosecution argues that NBA YoungBoy has access to adequate means of addressing his mental health struggles, refuting the need to relax his confinement. As the legal battle continues, how the court will rule remains uncertain, impacting the rapper’s mental well-being.

NBA Youngboy Is Gettin’ Free!

As NBA Youngboy continues to await trial on his federal gun charges, his legal team is working double time. They have now asked that the Louisiana rapper to be released on bond.

Youngboy’s Legal Teams Wants House Arrest

The last time his team requested bond for the rapper, it was denied. However, things are different this time around. His attorneys are now requesting that Youngboy be relocated to his Utah residence to serve his time on house arrest. In this request, he would have access to his in-home studio and would be monitored by a private security team.

Prosecutors were unsure, noting that he was in a fight in jail and may be harmful to himself or others.

The judge has now granted NBA Youngboy a bond and will allow him to stay on house arrest in his Utah home until his trial.

Youngboy Makes Album Announcement From Jail

Recently, Youngboy announced he’s dropping a compilation with artists from his label under Motown records.

NBA Youngboy has been dominating the music industry and has no plans on stopping soon. The rapper has been gearing up for yet another highly anticipated release following the success of his most recent album “Sincerely Kentrell”.

How Many Kids Does Playboi Carti Have?

December 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Playboi Carti returned with his third single in a matter of weeks on Tuesday. “H00DBYAIR,” shared guerilla-style via the Opium Instagram account, provided a glimpse into Carti’s next musical leap in his follow-up to Whole Lotta Red. However, it also shed insight into Playboi Carti’s personal life, namely his kids. While we all knew that he shared a child with Iggy Azalea, the rapper revealed that he also welcomed a daughter earlier this year. Below, we’re diving into what we know about Playboi Carti’s kids.

Onyx: Carti’s Son With Iggy Azalea

His first child, Onyx, is the son he shares with Australian rapper Iggy Azalea. Their relationship has been publicly tumultuous, with Azalea expressing dissatisfaction with Carti’s parenting involvement. She has taken to social media to voice her grievances, particularly highlighting instances where Carti allegedly prioritized his career and social engagements over their son. Azalea criticized Carti for his absence during significant family moments, like Christmas, and accused him of neglecting his paternal duties. Carti has assured fans that he remains active in his son’s life, acknowledging Onyx on his latest record. Additionally, Onyx appeared in his new documentary that surfaced online.

Yves: Carti’s Daughter

A post shared by @opium_00pium

Most recently, the rapper unveiled the news that he has a daughter. Although little is known about her, he did confirm that his newborn is named Yves in his latest song. “I was twenty-four when I had lil’ Onyx/ Then I had a daughter, I had a daughter too/ Twenty-seven when I had Yves/ Now I can finally sleep,” he raps on his single. Fans later believed that his daughter’s name was incorrectly spelled Eve. However, he took to Instagram to share a Music-style post that corrected the spelling.

This stands as the first occasion in which Playboi Carti has revealed that he has a daughter. However, as Complex points out, the rapper was arrested earlier this year regarding a domestic dispute with police describing the alleged victim as his “pregnant girlfriend.” It should be noted that his attorney denied that there was truth behind these claims. “Mr. Carter was falsely accused,” Steel said at the time. “Pursuant to my communications with the Fulton County District Attorney‘s Office, this case will be dismissed without any prosecution or litigation.”

December 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Whether it’s on an episode of The Kardashians, a public event, or the notorious TikTok she shared with her mother, any time North West pops up she’s likely to say something hilarious. She and Kim were recently live streaming on their TikTok when the most recent instance of having no filter delighted fans. When somebody in the comments suggests she could find a date for her uncle Scott Disick, North takes the time to think about it. While her answer delights fans, it instantly puts Kim in a somewhat awkward place.

North responds to the question saying Cardi B. Kim has to quickly remind North that Cardi is currently married. That’s technically true as she’s been married to Offset for years now. But the couple seem to be going through a tough patch. They unfollowed each other on Instagram and in a recent livestream Cardi described herself as “single.” After North brings up Cardi, Kim switches into a much more alert mode reminding her that she has to watch what she says before eventually deciding to end the livestream. Check out the hilarious clip below.

She shared a video of herself dancing to a song from the album in a Barbie-themed fit. Additionally the video hit the internet just a few hours after the album dropped.
