Fatman Scoop Tragically Passes Away After Collapsing Onstage Mid-Performance

August 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Hip-hop losses another fan-favorite name. According to an update from New York Post, New York City rapper and iconic hype man Fatman Scoop has passed away after suffering a medical emergency onstage. The “Be Faithful” MC was the headlining act at the Green & Gold Party in Hamden, Connecticut. Horror struck about an hour and change into his performance which was scheduled to begin around 7:15 p.m. last night. Scoop was walking around shirtless on the stage and eventually made his way behind the DJ’s booth. Seconds after doing so, the 53-year-old then suddenly fell behind the table and out of view of the spectators. Chest compressions were administered to Fatman Scoop, but sadly to no avail. According to TMZ Hip Hop the crowd quickly became silent and they said that authorities were sent out to help around 8:33 p.m.

After CPR didn’t do the trick, the rapper was carried out on a stretcher to a local hospital. There is currently no word on what caused his death or how long he lasted when he arrived. At this time, we ask that you please remain respectful to the loved ones of Fatman Scoop, and we are sending our condolences out as well. While he wasn’t a hitmaker or uber-popular name, he was undoubtedly a legend for his unique and fun personality.

Blueface & Jaidyn Alexis Channel Chrisean Rock In New “Mommiana” Music Video

August 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Since Blueface turned himself in for a probation violation back in January, fans haven’t heard much from the mother of his first two kids, Jaidyn Alexis. The rapper appears to have rekindled his romance with the mother of his third child Chrisean Rock, who’s also behind bars, instead. Earlier this month, he was handed a four-year prison sentence, but it doesn’t seem to have gotten in the way of Jaidyn’s musical career.

Today, she unveiled her new song “Mommiana” alongside an accompanying music video. The video was shared on YouTube via Blueface’s channel, and he shared a promotional snippet from it earlier today. Interestingly enough, he plays the role of a football player in the video and she plays a cheerleader. It’s unclear whether or not this was a direct nod to Chrisean’s endeavors in football, but fans certainly have their suspicions.

Jaidyn Alexis Delivers Another Lively Single

At the end of the video, Jaidyn calls for Blueface’s release. It was previously unclear where the two of them stood considering his reunion with Chrisean, but this appears to confirm that they’re on good terms. The song itself is reminiscent of Jaidyn’s other work like “Barbie,” featuring playful bars and backing vocals from Blueface. Fans are glad to see Jaidyn get back to her music, as it’s been several months since she’s dropped anything new.

In an Instagram Live after Blueface’s sentence was revealed, she clarified that while she’s not happy he’s away from their family for the time being, she still has to work to provide for them. “Sometimes y’all piss me off,” she explained. “How you so happy? B***h, I’m workin’. This is work. Talkin’ about I’m happy. You disgust me. Someone’s gotta do it … Sometimes I think y’all don’t realize that real life happens in real-time. And sometimes y’all d*mb as f**k. No shade at all.” What do you think of Jaidyn Alexis dropping a new track amid Blueface’s prison stay? What about her football-themed music video? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Young Thug’s Brother Erupts On YSL Mondo For Doing Interviews Amid RICO Case

August 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Unfortunately, Young Thug may be in court for a lot longer. It seems that every YSL defendant is doing something that could possibly derail any sort of positive progress. YSL Woody has been the main proponent of acting out of pocket in the court room, even making up fake names to “snitch on”. However, it seems that YSL Mondo could be another catalyst in extending Young Thug’s appearances before a judge. According to No Jumper, the record label co-founder is doing too many interviews in the eyes Young Thug’s brother, Unfoonk. Currently, there’s a clip going around of Mondo blasting Woody for being “the biggest rat” he knows on the Its Up There Podcast.

Apparently, those two have been beefing amid this RICO Case and Unfoonk thinks it’s a bad look for Mondo to continue to speak. Even the popular Young Thug fan account on X, THUGGERDAILY, is calling him out. Unfoonk explained why this only making things worse in his eyes on an IG story while putting Mondo on blast. “N**** really doing interviews talking about sum they don’t know smh”, Unfoonk begins.

“Its a reason why wasn’t around u n****, save all dat cap s***, clout chasing a** n**** smh. Its only a matter of time before I say f*** it, u one of the reason why they saying we a gang dumb a** n****”. Mondo then took the time to clap back on X, saying that everything he’s saying is “1 million percent true” and that Unfoonk “been hating” on him since the latter got out of prison. Mondo then left things off with a threat, saying “I suggest you be quiet before I say some that’s gone hurt your feelings! You should be the last person talking period!! Now I’m just gone leave it there!”.

Legendary DJ Fatman Scoop Collapses on Stage at Show; Taken to Area Hospital

August 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Scary moment when Fatman Scoop, whose real name is Isaac Freeman, collapsed on stage during a performance at Hamden Town Centre Park.

The incident was confirmed by Hamden mayor Lauren Garrett, who stated that Freeman was “transported by ambulance to the hospital.” Garrett added, “We will provide updates when they are available. Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.”

This is concerning and many of Scoop’s fans not to mention the industry are collectively holding their breathe.

There also seems to be footage circulating on social media capturing the distressing moment Freeman struggled to climb onto a platform before collapsing behind a DJ booth. The music was quickly stopped, and fellow performers on stage addressed the crowd.

The audience fell eerily silent.

What’s more is some screams could be heard as CPR was administered in an attempt to revive Freeman on the scene.

Authorities arrived at 8:33 p.m. and transported the rapper out of the venue on a stretcher.

His current condition remains unknown, though concerned concertgoers were overheard asking if he was okay after witnessing the collapse.

As expected, fans have started flooding social media with messages of concern and support for the hip-hop hype man, who gained prominence in the early 2000s with his 2003 re-release of “Be Faithful” alongside Crooklyn Clan.

In a 2014 interview, Freeman shared that his nickname, Fatman Scoop, was given to him by his Uncle Jack due to his love of ice cream as a child. Iconic.

If unfamiliar, throughout his career, Freeman has collaborated with numerous artists, including Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, Whitney Houston, and Missy Elliott, earning critical acclaim. His feature in Missy Elliott’s 2005 hit “Lose Control” won a Grammy for Best Short Form Music Video and earned a nomination for Best Rap Song. That same year, he appeared on Mariah Carey’s hit single “It’s Like That” alongside Jermaine Dupri, which earned her a Grammy nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

Just hours before his Connecticut concert, the music video for his latest song with Dyce Payso, “Let It Go,” was released. Prayers up for Mr. Freeman.

Drake Adds A New Song To His “100 GIGS” Three-Pack On Streaming

August 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake sent the internet into a frenzy (as he usually does) about a week ago by dropping off three new songs. Like he did with “Blue Green Red”, “It’s Up”, and “Housekeeping Knows”, he put on them on his recently created Instagram burner account plottttwistttttt. For this round Drizzy put out “Supersoak (SOD)”, minus Lil Yachty, “No Face”, featuring Playboi Carti, and “Circadian Rhythm”. Eventually, The Boy would go onto release the OG three-pack onto streaming services about four days after. This time, though, Drake waited about a week to place more 100 GIGS content on DSPs.

However, you may be disappointed to learn that only one of the new tracks got a wider release. According to RapTV, the hitmaker only sent through “Circadian Rhythm”. When you go onto any of his DSP accounts, there are now two 100 GIGS EPs. You have the original and then the aforementioned cut slots in place of “Blue Green Red” and is flanked by “It’s Up” and “Housekeeping Knows”.

Did Drake Make A Mistake Not Including The Other New 100 GIGS Tracks?

A post shared by RapTV (@rap)

It’s sort of an interesting move to not just release “No Face” and “Supersoak” along with “Circadian Rhythm”. However, it’s worth noting that Lil Yachty said that “Supersoak” would never get an official release due to sample clearance issues. As for “No Face”, there really isn’t a reason as to why it’s not on streaming. Hopefully, that comes to fruition, but it seems that most Drake stans are happy with arguably the most memorable track from this new crop of three out everywhere.

What are your thoughts on Drake putting “Circadian Rhythm” on the 100 GIGS three-pack? Do you think he should have put out “Supersoak (SOD)” and “No Face” onto streaming, why or why not? Is he winning you over with any of these new releases? Do you approve or disapprove of his strategy post beef? 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 Drake. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Diddy Gets Update In Federal Investigation Thanks To New Subpoena

August 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy continues to deny the current lawsuits and accusations against him, but federal authorities are still trying to get to the bottom of the case. Moreover, according to a new TMZ report based on reportedly obtained legal documents, the court issued a grand jury subpoena to a hotel in Florida. These are their latest efforts to determine whether there is enough evidence to form a criminal indictment against him. Apparently, federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York want the luxury Miami location to provide documents and evidence regarding the Bad Boy mogul’s stays there at any point after January 1, 2008.

Furthermore, Diddy and his ex Daphne Joy both appear in the subpoena, and it demands quite the extensive list of information. These include reservation records for them and other Bad Boy affiliates, guest preferences and requests, billing info, emails, mailing addresses, phone numbers, forms of payment, computer IP addresses and logins, ID and vehicle registration copies, and surveillance footage. Per the outlet, this subpoena emerged a couple of weeks ago amid Sean Combs’ denials, so there’s no telling how much evidence they’ve gained so far or what they’re still waiting on.

Diddy At The 65th Cannes Film Festival

However, even though this federal investigation continues to ramp up, it seems like it won’t completely stop Diddy in his tracks no matter what it finds. For example, he recently greeted some fans in South Beach during a rare public outing, showing that he’s still willing to go outside. Others in this situation choose to disappear from the public eye as much as possible. While the music executive is certainly keeping things more private than usual, we still have to see what happens with this case in order to properly assess his movement.

Meanwhile, Diddy isn’t the only Bad Boy alum in trouble these days. Harve Pierre also faces an anonymous sexual assault lawsuit from a woman who claimed that keeping her identity a secret is one of the few things protecting her in life right now. It’s a very complicated and contentious case, one whose outcome is impossible to predict at press time. We’ll see what other investigations and conclusions emerge.
