Buckshot Speaks Out After Recent Assault Landed Him In The Hospital

On Halloween, underground Brooklyn rapper Buckshot began to trend online following a harrowing video. According to AllHipHop, the Black Moon and Boot Camp Clik affiliate was viciously attacked in his hometown of Flatbush. The assault left him battered and bloodied, and he was admitted into the hospital for his injuries. He had received a ton of support online following the terrifying ordeal and thankfully, he’s getting back on his feet. Uproxx reports that he’s now out of the hospital thanks to an encouraging update from his label, Duck Down Music. “Buckshot was hospitalized, since released, and under the circumstances, he’s doing OK and recovering,” they began.

“We currently don’t have more detailed information to share but will do so as it becomes available.” In addition, Buckshot himself has spoken out, and he expresses his gratitude and explains what the steps are moving forward. He also says that this has something to do with “ongoing disputes over my property, where I am the rightful owner but have faced issues with unauthorized occupants who escalated the situation to violence.” “To all my friends, fans, and supporters—thank you for reaching out during this difficult time. Recently, I was the victim of a violent assault involving multiple individuals armed with weapons, including handguns,” Buckshot begins.

Violence like this has no place here, and I’m calling on everyone to come together to make New York safer and better for all of us. He then concludes with, “I am currently recovering from my injuries and am working closely with my legal team and law enforcement to ensure this matter is handled properly. We are committed to seeing justice served, and I ask for your patience and support as the legal process unfolds. Again, thank you for all the well wishes. Let’s put an end to violence and help rebuild a stronger, safer New York.”

Anthony Anderson Hospitalized After On-Set Action Injury

Anthony Anderson has a bone to pick with a chair now following his recent hospitalization for an on-set injury while filming the action movie G20. Moreover, he got many scans and X-rays for the accident that occurred during a particularly hectic fight scene on the Cape Town, South Africa set. “I spent the night in the emergency room,” the entertainment figure and stand-up comic captioned an Instagram post of him on a gurney on Thursday (February 1). “Movie set fight gone wrong. Me against two goons and a chair! Guess who didn’t win! Who needs a stuntman? Me that’s who! I’m not as young as I used to be!”

Fortunately, it seems like Anthony Anderson recovered quickly, as he returned to the social media platform to swear revenge on his new enemy: a chair. “This is the chair that whooped my a** last night!” the storyteller wrote alongside a picture of the furniture. “Something about it is menacing! It sucker punched me in the kidneys and back with no mercy! When I got on set today it was grinning at me! Little does he know I got something for that a**! He gone learn today!”

Anthony Anderson’s Most Recent Instagram Post Addressing Injury

“CT scan and X-rays showed nothing fractured or broken in my back just a deep contusion,” Anthony Anderson had assured in his previous gurney-bound IG post. “That chair will never be the same though! Bloodied and bowed but never broken!” As such, it’s at least heartening to hear that things went smoothly for him, as we’re sure that those injuries on an action set can be difficult to deal with. We’re sure that, slowly but surely, the Black-ish star will go back to relaying hilarious stories about co-stars and fellow celebrities like Tracee Ellis Ross as if nothing happened.

Meanwhile, that perseverance to entertain and stay happy amid all that is a true testament. It also reminded us that he has some great things on the way which we should all be excited for. We wonder if previous takes on Ye as president would still hold up today in a post-recovery stand-up set. To find out, log back into HNHH for more news on Anthony Anderson.

2 Chainz Cleared From Hospital After Miami Car Crash

2 Chainz is fortunately okay following a three-car accident in Miami over the weekend for Art Basel, allegedly close sources to him told TMZ. Moreover, they relayed that he left the hospital hours after he initially went in on Saturday morning (December 9), following a check-up from doctors. The rapper didn’t sustain any significant injuries, was just a little rattled, and is reportedly happy to be out of the medical facility and back home to rest before the holidays kick into full swing. On his Instagram account, he shared a picture of the car that struck his vehicle from behind, a video of him walking to a private jet, and a thankful and heartfelt message for his supporters and loved ones.

“This the car that hit us from behind,” 2 Chainz wrote on the social media platform. “Praise God for the blessings , Things could have been worse , but it wasn’t. Don’t wanna pity party, but i do appreciate every single person that checked up on me. Sometimes someone in my position don’t feel like the love real or maybe it’s mind thing. But I truly felt the love and don’t worry bout me , I’m good , shake back king.”

Furthermore, authorities found that he was not responsible for this three-vehicle crash. After all, police suspect that the driver that hit 2 Chainz’s car from behind was under the influence at the time. It looks like this will soon be a thing of the past for him, which is great because it would’ve been very tough to handle an accident like this during a time that you’d much rather spend with family. As such, we hope that the “Oprah & Gayle” MC is able to recover fully and swiftly on what he has left of this journey, and that the holidays bring him much joy. Meanwhile, the artist formerly known as Tity Boi recently shouted out a fellow hip-hop star for helping out with his Lil Wayne collab album.

I actually wrote these things for 50 Cent to say,” he shared on the Rap Radar podcast recently. “50 is somebody that has a voice I think people can recognize. I knew that when it was time to put out an album, I was going to do something to maybe f**k people up to think maybe he was. I had this whole thing in my head about trailers and chaos and mayhem like, ‘What the hell they got going on?’ So I hit him. He did it for me. I mean, it didn’t take long. He killed it on the first take as far as knowing how to breathe, the spaces. Just little stuff that us as creatives just wanted.” For more news and the latest updates on 2 Chainz, keep checking in with HNHH.

Derek Chauvin Heads Back To Prison Following Brutal Stabbing

Derek Chauvin is one of the most hated people on the entire planet. Overall, this is due to the fact that he killed George Floyd by suffocating him with his knee. Subsequently, Chauvin was convicted of murder and was sentenced to a lengthy prison stay. However, that prison stay has not been in easy for Chauvin. Just a couple of weeks ago, the man was stabbed by an inmate by the name of John Turscak. The perpetrator did so 22 times and said he did it because he wanted to show support to the Black Lives Matter movement.

This entire situation has been well-documented. However, Chauvin’s family is not happy with how things went down. Essentially, they found out about what happened through social media. The prison never told them what happened, although they eventually provided an update by saying he was in serious condition. Despite being stabbed nearly two dozen times, Chauvin survived. Now, he has to go back to his previous reality.

Derek Chauvin Continues Sentence

Bail for Chauvin, who is charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter, is set at $500,000. The death sparked riots and protests in cities throughout the country after Floyd, a black man, was killed in police custody in Minneapolis on May 25.

As Vlad TV reports, Chauvin is now back in an Arizona prison facility. However, we imagine there will be increased security for him now. Once an inmate goes through a situation like his, there is a hefty protocol that soon follows. Only time will tell whether or not another inmate tries this on Chauvin.

Let us know your thoughts on the situation, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from around the world. We will always be sure to keep you informed.

Ray J’s Mom Hospitalized After Bad Reaction To IV Therapy

Ray J’s mother, Sonja Norwood, is currently in recovery after suffering from a bad reaction to a home IV drip meant to deliver essential vitamins and nutrients directly to the bloodstream. According to TMZ, Norwood began feeling light-headed after the treatment and had to lie down due to sudden rapid breathing.
From there, Ray and other members of the family called an ambulance out of concern.

The IV therapy included a mixture of C and B vitamins, as well as calcium and magnesium. TMZ reports it’s meant to boost a patient’s immune system but can induce side effects including infection, rashes, blood clots, air embolism, and more. Ray J has yet to comment on the hospitalization. Norwood isn’t the first celebrity to be hospitalized from an IV drip. Back in 2018, Kendall Jenner found herself in the hospital after a similar reaction.

The health scare comes after Ray J spent last week feuding with Kodak Black. He had expressed concern for the rapper after his worrying appearance on Drink Champs, which Kodak didn’t take kindly to. In fact, the “No Flockin” rapper threatened Ray for bringing up the time the two had dinner with Donald Trump. Ray J responded to the comments on Instagram Live afterward. “No, he don’t want no real fade,” he said on October 30th.

He continued: “He talking about he gon’ beat me up. Bro, if you don’t cut it out… You a street n***a, right? You’re a rapper? Well, let’s take the fade since you said you gon’ beat me up. Since you went all the way left with it.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Ray J’s mother’s health on HotNewHipHop.

Kourtney Kardashian Birth Rumors: Kylie Jenner & Travis Barker Reportedly Go To Hospital

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker’s son Rocky was due this week, sources online say, and there’s reason to believe that he may have already been born. Moreover, the pop-punk drummer reportedly went to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles this week, from Monday (October 30) to Thursday (November 2). In addition, TMZ alleges that onlookers also spotted Kylie Jenner at the hospital, which is where most Kardashians have given birth in the past. Considering a previous unclear medical emergency, many fans are speculating that it might finally be time. However, there’s a lot of other things to consider here that might inform this activity.

Of course, this is all purely speculative at the moment, as it’s based on alleged reports, sources, and eyewitnesses. On that note, many sources claim that the due date of this week we mentioned before isn’t just rumors. Also, they suggested that they might induce labor, as Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker previously said they wanted Rocky to be born on Halloween. As such, the baby’s birth this week makes sense. But then again, this could also be due to medical check-ups or other circumstances or emergencies that aren’t as obvious or highly anticipated as this birth.

However, if you’re not interested in childbirth but love the Kardashians, there was also plenty of drama recently to unpack. When you have a reality TV show like The Kardashians airing right now, that’s kind of inevitable. For example, there’s a lot of media focus and public discussion on Kourtney and Kim’s rift, whether it’s right now with their current actions or in the timeframe presented in the program. Travis Barker himself denied speculation that he caused this beef, which is a narrative that many fans love to spew online.

Meanwhile, we guess that it’ll only be a matter of time before this all clears up, just like the previous medical emergency. If the socialite just welcomed Rocky into the world, then we offer our perhaps early congratulations. If not, then we hope the best for her on the rest of her pre-motherhood journey. For more news and the latest updates on Kourtney Kardashian, Travis Barker, and Kylie Jenner, stay up to date on HNHH.
