Quando Rondo Disses Police For Allegedly Trying To Steal His Jewelry

December 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Quando Rondo is no stranger to legal troubles. He’s had several encounters with the police over the course of his career. The incident that allegedly took place on December 17 was unique, however. The rapper hopped on Instagram Stories to claim that local police tried to shake him down. Quando Rondo said that police officers tried to damage the jewelry that was on his person. To make matters even more surprising, the rapper claimed that they were trying to steal his jewelry.

“Police hate so bad,” he wrote on his Instagram Story. “They broke my jewelry up and tryna steal my watch.” The photo that accompanied the IG Story was of a chain laying on Quando Rondo’s lap. The rapper did not provide additional context for the alleged encounter. It has not been a good holiday for Rondo in general. He will be serving a 33 month sentence in prison. He was found guilty of conspiracy to possess and distribute marijuana. The case dragged on for over a year, and Rondo was facing a five year sentence at one point. He ultimately struck a plea deal with the Department of Justice in August.

Quando Rondo has also been on the other side of legal matters as of late. The rapper was identified as the target in a murder-for-hire scheme that allegedly took place in 2022. Lil Durk has been accused of flying several men out to California to perform a hit on Rondo. The rapper survived the shooting, but his cousin, Lul Pab, did not. Lil Durk and the aforementioned men will stand trial in January 2025. Rondo did not address Durk directly. He did address the situation, however, via social media.

Quando Rondo took a mature approach to the incident, and lamented the fact that rappers struggle to escape violent ends. “We didn’t get into this industry just to stay trapped in this street life,,” the rapper wrote on Instagram. “We have families and communities counting on us. It’s time to leave all that behind. We’ve lost too much already.” Lil Durk, meanwhile, has plead not guilty to the murder-for-hire charges. The rapper’s lawyer claimed there was “no real evidence” to link him to the 2022 shooting.

Ben Stiller Helps SZA Unveil Release Date For “LANA (SOS Deluxe)”

December 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

SZA has been teasing the release of LANA (SOS Deluxe) since 2023. The singer has confirmed plans to give fans an extended version of her acclaimed second album, but has failed to give much in the way of info or song titles. SZA has made good on her promise to get it out before 2025. SZA unveiled a release date for LANA (SOS Deluxe) on Monday, and it was done in a very unexpected fashion. Instead of giving fans a SZA-centric album trailer, the singer decided to call in beloved actor/director Ben Stiller to help her out.

The trailer for LANA (SOS Deluxe) sees Ben Stiller driving and singing to an unreleased SZA song. A song that will presumably make the tracklist for the new album. The entertainer leans into his comedy side and gives an impassioned performance of the song, titled “Drive.” SZA uploaded the trailer to her social media accounts, along with a release date of December 20. This is the second trailer released in as many weeks. Shortly before Stiller got behind the wheel, SZA dropped a promo in which she walks through the woods and uses the restroom before exiting the frame.

SZA’s Deluxe Album Will Drop On December 20

Ben Stiller might seem like a random choice for a SZA collaborator. But those who follow the entertainer on Twitter he’s interacted with the singer before. The “Snooze” hitmaker tweeted that she needed a new season of Stiller’s TV show Severance sooner than later. “Was trying to be polite. But I really need a new season of Severance right the f*ck now,” she wrote in May. The entertainer responded, writing “got it,” and the shocked singer apologized.

Omg please accept my humble apology lmao whenever ur ready is fine,” she tweeted. “Just dying of thirst it’s the best show ever! Ur a madman. THANK U mr stiller king sir!.” Ben Stiller took the exchange well, though, and even joked about it during a Tonight Show appearance. He told host Jimmy Fallon that “whatever SZA wants, SZA gets.” Obviously, the admiration goes both ways. Given the production value of the album trailer clip, its possible Stiller will star in one of the album’s music videos. Fingers crossed for more SZA/Stiller content.

Offset Throws Shade At Cardi B’s Parenting After Rapper’s CPS Drama

December 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Offset and Cardi B have really made a run at being the messiest couple in hip hop. They’ve both achieved superstar status through music, but their personal drama has overshadowed their output in recent years. They regularly make headlines for dissing each other on social media. Offset will pop off about his iconic ex, and Cardi B will fire back with insults and NSFW screenshots from the father of her children. There’s nothing that can done or said that would shock fans at this point. Or so we thought. Offset appeared to criticize Cardi’s parenting skills on Monday, and fans were genuinely taken aback.

Offset did not mention his ex by name, but the messaging was not subtle. The Migos rapper posted text over a photo of himself partying on Instagram. In it, he accuses someone of spreading lies, and then tells fans to pray for the children of said person. “Lies told to make me look bad,” he asserted. “I couldn’t play how you do. Pray for them kids.” Offset’s comments were unexpected for multiple reasons. For one, the rapper has never been critical of Cardi’s parenting in a public space. If anything, it was one of the points that both rappers seemingly saw eye-to-eye.

Second, Cardi B has recently been plagued with calls from Child Protective Services. The rapper claims she has been hounded by the organization over anonymous tips about her parenting. The drama started in September, and has carried on through to the end of 2024. Cardi B assured fans that she did not think Offset was responsible for the “tips.” “That’s not wat happened that got nothing do wit him,” Cardi wrote on Instagram. “He a loser but he didn’t do that. It was a prank call he had to fly out.” Obviously, there has been a shift in terms of the way Offset perceives Cardi’s parenting skills.

Cardi B recently put CPS on blast for their continued harassment. She assured fans that she treats her kids like “kings” and “queens.” The rapper went as far as to threaten to release personal info about the CPS employee who had been repeatedly contacting her. Offset’s decision to seemingly shade Cardi B also comes on the heels of a viral video involving both parties. The rappers were filmed throwing money at each other during a club appearance. Fans took to the Instagram comment section to put both on blast for acting recklessly despite their duties as parents.

The Weeknd Shows Love To Kendrick Lamar’s “GNX”

December 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last month, Kendrick Lamar shocked the world by unveiling his new album GNX with zero warning. Unsurprisingly, the project has since been a major success. It sold an impressive 319K album-equivalent units in its first week, per HITS Daily Double, and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 album chart. He then topped the Billboard Canadian Albums chart as well, per the outlet. Various tracks from the album have also remained in the charts, such as “squabble up,” “luther,” “tv off,” and more.

Of course, several of Kendrick’s celebrity peers have also shown GNX love in recent weeks. Earlier today, The Weekend even took to his Instagram Story to show off the fact that he was listening to it by posting various screenshots. He’s far from the only one who has it on repeat these days, however. Busta Rhymes, Chris Brown, Snoop Dogg, and many more have also shown their support for the project. Suki Baby, the model from Drake and 21 Savage’s Her Loss album cover, even praised Kendrick for it late last month.

The Weeknd Listens To Kendrick Lamar’s Album

The Weeknd’s latest posts come shortly after a man on DJ Akademiks’ livestream made some wild allegations involving him and Drake. The man, social media influencer @julianxceo, alleged that Drake paid Top5 $3 million to shoot up The Weeknd’s house. It remains unclear exactly what shooting he was referring to, but earlier this year, a shooting did occur outside of The Weeknd’s co-manager Amir “Cash XO” Esmailian’s Los Angeles home. Julian’s claims appear to be totally unfounded, however.

As for Kendrick, he recently headlined Top Dog Entertainment’s 11th annual holiday concert and toy drive. It took place at Nickerson Gardens in Watts earlier this month and also featured performances from SZA, Isaiah Rashad, Doechii, ScHoolboy Q, and more. GloRilla even made a surprise appearance at the end of the event to perform “TGIF.”

Ice Spice Supports Kim Kardashian At NYC SKIMS Store Opening

December 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yesterday (December 12), Kim Kardashian celebrated the opening of her Skims store in New York City with a star-studded bash. The reality star and business owner was surrounded by several of her celebrity peers, including Paris Hilton, Teyana Taylor, Ciara, and more. Ice Spice was even in attendance, stunning in an eye-catching leopard print fit.

The Bronx rapper took to Instagram earlier today to share some fun photos from the event. In them, she’s seen posing alongside Kardashian, who rode a scooter throughout the night due to her broken foot. Regardless, both she and the “Bikini Bottom” artist appeared to be in good spirits, laughing as they posed for selfies. “We skims,” she affectionately captioned her post. Ice Spice’s mother was even featured in some of the photos, matching her daughter in a silky leopard print jacket.

This is far from the first time fans have seen Ice Spice and Kim K link up, however. Last year, Ice starred in a Skims campaign alongside Pink Pantheress, Raye, and Nessa Barrett. Before that, Kardashian’s daughter North also showed love to her on TikTok by dressing up as her. This unfortunately resulted in a great deal of backlash, as social media users felt as though the video was inappropriate. Kardashian addressed the controversy during an interview with Time magazine a few months later, admitting that allowing her to post it was a mistake.

“The Ice Spice videos, she said, ‘Mommy, can I post this?’” she recalled. “I was out of town, so I had my… nanny was there [and] allowed it. And as soon as I saw the words and everything, I was like, ‘Oh, no no. We’re taking this down.’ She totally understood. So, I think that’s the trial and error sometimes.”

Scrappy Warns Married Couples After Papoose And Remy Ma Cheating Scandal

December 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Wednesday night was rough for Papoose and Remy Ma. The latter blasted her longtime husband, and fellow rapper, Papoose, on Instagram. She accused Papoose of cheating on her with professional boxer Claressa Shields. She posted screenshots of a text conversation between the rapper and Shields and the internet had a meltdown. Remy had previously been accused of being unfaithful. Scrappy was one of these critics. The Love & Hip Hop Star has changed his tune, though.

Scrappy hopped on Instagram on Thursday to address Remy Ma’s bombshell. He ultimately saw it as a teachable moment. “It’s very unfortunate,” Scrappy admitted. “But we don’t know what folks be going through behind closed doors.” The rapper then dove into a discussion about marriage, and the difficulties that ensue. “That sh*t is hard,” he remarked. “You gotta have the right person.” He then warned other couples to not make the same mistakes as Papoose and Remy. As far as Scrappy is concerned, finding the right person means avoiding a lot of turmoil. “If you the right person it won’t be so hard,” he stressed.

Scrappy Detailed How “Hard” A Successful Marriage Is

Conversely, if you are with the wrong person, than Scrappy believes it’s a losing game. The rapper told his Instagram followers that it takes a very strong person to recover from being cheated on. He doesn’t make any bones about it. He also credits dishonesty and cheating for being the reason why some people do not want to get married again. “If you ain’t strong enough,” Scrappy posited. “You’ll probably never do it again.” It’s fascinating to contrast the rapper’s statement with his previous comments about Remy and Papoose.

Scrappy vented about the Papoose situation in January. He believed the New York rapper was not getting sympathy he deserved. “Ain’t nobody standing up for Papoose saying, ‘Aw man, we sorry that sh*t happened to you,” Scrappy posited. “‘Shawty did you dirty!’ We ain’t hearing none of that sh*t, my n**ga.” The rapper did admit, in retrospect, that he didn’t really “know what happened” when he spoke on the matter.

Jay-Z’s Former Mistress Posts Chilling Message Amidst Assault Allegations

December 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jay-Z is in the hot seat. The rapper has been accused of raping a teenage girl at a 2000 after party alongside disgraced mogul Diddy. Jay has denied these allegations. The rapper confirmed that he plans to fight the lawsuit filed against him. That has not stopped the public from giving their opinion on the matter. Some have already deemed Hov guilty. The rapper’s peers and business associates, on the other hand, have expressed doubt about his guilt. Hov’s former mistress, Carmen Bryan, took a more ominous approach on Wednesday.

Carmen Bryan, who had a decade long affair with Hov, took to Instagram. She did not mention the icon by name. But she did suggest that truth was not being properly served. “These days,” she wrote. “People don’t defend what is right, they defend who they like.” The implication, of course, being that people who are well-connected are sticking up for Jay-Z’s reputation. Bryan rubbed additional salt in the wound with her closing statement: “And that’s why we call you a groupie.” Once more, no names are mentioned. That said, it doesn’t take much to tie her comments to the Hov controversy.

Carmen Bryan Quoted A Controversial Jay-Z Lyric

The icing on this unnerving post a screenshot of lyrics. Carmen Bryan chose to isolate a section of the 2010 song “Monster.” The song features a verse from Jay-Z, in which he makes reference to raping and pillaging as a means of showing his monstrous tendencies. “Kill a block, I murder the avenues, I rape and pillage your village, women and children.” Hov spits. This was very intentional on the part of Bryan, who’s been open about her feelings about Jay-Z. She detailed her nine year affair with the rapper in her memoir It’s No Secret: From Nas to Jay-Z, From Seduction to Scandal, A Hip-Hop Helen of Troy Tells All.

Carmen Bryan claims that she was pregnant with Jay-Z’s child, but suffered a miscarriage. She detailed this harrowing experience during a 2017 interview with Vlad TV. “I believe I was three months, it was the first trimester,” she explained. “It wasn’t like ‘Oh we are going to have this baby.’” Bryan then told Jay-Z about the pregnancy after the miscarriage occurred.

DDG Previews New Song With Tory Lanez Verse Recorded In Prison

December 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DDG is famous for multiple reasons. He broke out as a YouTuber and social media personality. His profile went through the roof when he started dating singer Halle Bailey. Now, however, DDG is dedicated to his music career. The celebrity has abandoned his YouTube career to make a focused push at being a rapper following his split from Bailey. He recently dropped the single “Trickin.” It’s the teaser for his new single, however, that has fans intrigued. DDG seemingly linked up with Tory Lanez, despite the latter currently serving a decade behind bars. The song is rumored to drop December 13.

DDG has yet to release song, or its title. He did, however, preview a snippet of it on social media. The rapper can be seen bopping along in the studio while playing the song on his phone. He then holds up the phone to a microphone. Tory Lanez’s verse can be heard blaring through the phone speakers. Tory seemingly recorded his verse via telephone while locked up. It’s the first time fans have gotten to hear a Lanez verse since the rapper’s recording equipment was seized by prison guards in September. Lanez had rolled out an ongoing series called Prison Tapes, but the series was shut down unceremoniously.

DDG Previewed Tory Lanez’s Verse On An iPhone

“I was shut down because the higher ups figured out what I was really doing with The Prison Tapes,” the rapper claimed via Instagram. “And how many inmates were being helped in a life-changing way because of them.” DDG’s decision to link up with Tory Lanez has surprised many, given the former’s public image as a family man and a clean cut artist. That said, the rapper has never been afraid of delving into complex topics or addressing controversial aspects of his life. On “WHAT U BAD FOR,” DDG referenced his highly publicized split from Halle Bailey.

DDG flexed his newfound single status, but admitted that he will always have love for Bailey. “Thing about Halo mommy, you know that’s my baby forever,” he rapped. “Y’all know that I love that—.” The word “H*e” gets replaced with the word “go.” DDG has yet to confirm a title or release date for his new album. That said, fans have gotten to hear multiple singles. It’s safe to assume that the Tory Lanez collab will make the final tracklist.

Cardi B Threatens To Dox CPS Worker For Allegedly Harassing Her

December 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cardi B made her name as a rapper, but controversy has become her brand in the 2020s. These days, the “WAP” artist is better known for sparking feuds online or beefing with Offset, the father of her children. The controversy continued, full speed ahead, on Tuesday. Cardi B took to Instagram Live to air out her frustration with Child Protective Services. She claimed the organization has been harassing her and her children for the last several months. She even threatened to dox a worker’s personal info.

Cardi B did not simply air out her grievances to fans, though. The rapper decided to let them in on her frustrations, firsthand. She recorded herself calling Child Protective Services and complaining to the organization. Cardi slammed CPS for investigating her every time somebody online makes an unfounded allegation or an anonymous call. “Tomorrow somebody else could make an allegation,” she noted. “Are you guys gonna come tomorrow? Two months from now, are you guys gonna come?” She kept her cool, somewhat, during the call, but Cardi B let loose soon after.

Cardi B Assured Fans That Her Children Are Safe

“You keep harassing me,” she yelled into the camera. “When there’s actual kids out there that’s getting abused.” The rapper then asserted that none of her children have ever been subjected to physical or verbal abuse. “None of my kids had ever got touched,” she said. “None of that sh*t. My kids live like kings and f*cking queens.” Cardi B’s anger seemingly grew stronger as her rant progressed. She then implied that the reason she is being harassed by Child Protective Services is because of her fame. The rapper slammed the women she talked to on the phone, claiming she wanted to be the “talk of the office” due to her communication with a celebrity.

Cardi B has been contending with CPS drama since October. She has clearly reached the end of her rope, and stressed as much in her rant. She told followers that she would be more than willing to pay her lawyer to make this CPS issue disappear. “If I have to pay $30K today to my lawyer,” the rapper said. “So you could f*ck off, I will.” Cardi B closed out her message by threatening to release personal information about the CPS worker online if the alleged harassment doesn’t stop. She is definitely not playing around.

50 Cent Upsets Fans With Crass Joke After Jay-Z Supports Blue Ivy & Beyonce At “Mufasa” Premiere

December 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent is easily one of the biggest trolls in all of hip-hop, however, over the years, he has been known to take things way too far. Overall, this has been apparent in his feuds with people like Diddy, Ja Rule, and even Jay-Z. As it stands, Jay-Z is being accused of allegedly raping a 13-year-old girl while in the presence of Diddy. Although Jay has already denied the allegations, there are many who are stunned and disappointed with what is going on.

50 Cent, on the other hand, couldn’t care less about maintaining a sense of decorum. Instead, he would much rather go on social media and get as many jokes off as humanly possible. Last night, Jay-Z went out in public with his wife Beyonce, and his oldest daughter, Blue Ivy. It was the premiere for Mufasa: The Lion King, which is a movie that both Blue Ivy and Beyonce star in. Many were surprised that Jay would be in attendance, however, he seemed to be in good spirits. Meanwhile, this prompted 50 Cent to write “Jay said they said I raped a kid, everybody get dressed we going to see Mustafa. LOL.”

50 Cent Takes It There

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

While fans typically enjoy Fif’s brand of trolling, this particular joke did not go over well and it is very easy to see why. In the comments section of The Neighborhood Talk, there were some very strong responses to what 50 Cent had to say. “Dude don’t even like his son trying to speak about someone else’s family,” one person wrote. “Weird. He’s a father supporting his child. Something Curtis knows nothing about,” said another.

Needless to say, the fans are not on 50 Cent’s side with this recent joke. Given the fact that Beyonce and Blue Ivy are involved, it makes sense that fans would be upset. Moreover, the allegations that are being leveled against Jay are extremely serious. While some will always make jokes, others feel like making light of this is extremely inappropriate.
