Ralo Buys An Atlanta Block & Plans To Open City’s First Vine City Mosque After Prison Release

July 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ralo has been through a lot over the past few years, and now that he’s officially free from his halfway house, he can move onto greater things. Moreover, he recently announced that he bought a whole block in Atlanta consisting of various commercial properties, and also relayed plans to build the first Vine City Mosque in the history of the state of Georgia. In the Atlanta rapper’s Instagram post on the matter, he specifically highlighted the importance of not having to recur to his old lifestyles and troubles now that he’s found personal and financial freedom. Overall, it’s a very heartening story and a hard-earned one, and hopefully one that brings him a lot of fulfillment, joy, and opportunities in the future.

“The folks sent me to federal prison, took everything from me and left my family out hea with NOTHING,” Ralo’s Instagram caption began. “I ran this s**t back up legally. I won’t ever have to sell a piece of dope again in my life. I’ve become a restaurant, hair salon, barber shop and clothing store owner. Allah has blessed me to open up the first #VineCityMosque in the history of Atlanta.

“I won’t ever in my life have to rent another condo again now that I own dozens directly across the street from the Mercedes Benz stadium in Atlanta,” Ralo’s Instagram post continued. “Go watch Ralo Chapter 38 | Hood Hero #OutNow on YouTube to see how I’m putting all this s**t together. My goal is to link up with the people and do this in every state. If you wanna donate to the cause or help with the mostque go to FamericaNews.Com #KingAkh.”

Meanwhile, Ralo also recently stood by many values that he continues to champion from his past life, even under wildly different circumstances. “Man ain’t no way Shawty just got on that stand against his childhood friend,” he expressed concerning Trontavious Stephens’ recent testimony in the Young Thug and YSL RICO case. “I rather die ah thousand deaths before I do some s**t like that.” We’ll see what other principles, initiatives, and developments the 29-year-old enjoys in his freedom.

Foolio Compared To A “Demi God” In Instagram Account’s Latest Bizarre Post After His Death

July 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Fans are still mourning the death of Foolio following a shooting at his birthday celebrations, but that’s been a very strange process so far. Moreover, that’s thanks to his Instagram account, which has still been active and posting stuff since his passing, leading many to believe wild conspiracy theories about him faking this tragedy. This latest post adds more speculative gas to that fire. “THE LIFE OF A DEMI GOD [purple devil emoji],” the account posted on its Story, showing someone (presumably the Florida rapper himself) flexing their jewelry. “You can NEVER KILL A DEMI GOD [purple devil emoji]. The power of VOODOO is real and the WORLD will be shocked VERY SOON mark these words. KNOW MOMMY.”

In addition, Foolio’s Instagram account also recently commented on a post featuring his alleged killer, and its language ties back to this most recent Story post. “Demi God [purple devil emoji],” the account commented. “I ain’t going nowhere, I’m a demigod. You can’t get me,” he had said during a No Jumper interview earlier this year, and he even captioned an IG repost of this clip with the caption: “I’ll Never Die I’m a DemiGod.”

Foolio’s IG Account’s Latest Mystery

“My grandma does VOODOO,” Foolio’s Instagram account captioned a video post featuring an old WWE wrestling match and a video of him rapping in a vehicle. “He’s here, going to shock the world when the time is right. Game over?? The game just begun,” it continued. It seems like many of these posts were promptly deleted, so either these are hacks that his team is following up on or there are some very bizarre choices and developments behind the scenes. Either way, it’s a very spooky social media presence that many fans see as disrespectful, disturbing, and distressing.

Of course, another part of Foolio’s online presence since his death has been the attacks that Yungeen Ace sent his way after the shooting. This resulted in a while lot of controversy as well, especially with some scathing diss tracks and videos. But this hacking or revival narrative definitely takes precedent now as the most odd thing to emerge out of all this. Hopefully all this slows down and we can let him rest in peace.

Yung Joc Apologizes To Megan Thee Stallion After Publicly Doubting Her

July 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Megan Thee Stallion was put through the ringer during her legal battle against Tory Lanez. Many believed that she was making false accusations against the R&B singer. These same people went after her publicly, and predicted that Lanez would prevail. Obviously, that did not happen. Lanez was found guilty and sentenced to ten years in prison for shooting Megan in the foot. Megan Thee Stallion was vindicated, and several people have come forward to issue an apology. Yung Joc is the latest.

Yung Joc went on Streetz Morning Takeover to make his apology official. He told the hosts that he was wrong for doubting Megan Thee Stallion. “I apologize for not supporting you in your moment and believing in the whole situation with you and Tory Lanez,” he stated. “I still have questions, ’cause I’m human.” The rapper also made reference to the bet. In short, he promised to shave his head if Lanez went to prison. “I think that the moment when I made the bet,” he recalled. “Although we did it in a fun kinda way–maybe, just maybe, I was out of line for doing that.”

Yung Joc didn’t stop there. The “Buy U A Drank” rapper followed through on the bet, and shaved his head in light of the guilty verdict. “I lost the bet,” he told the Morning Takeover hosts. “And somewhere in there, we may have been a little buffoonish. ‘Cause I really made a bet that this man was gon’ get off, and he didn’t. And I lost my hair. I’m sorry, Meg.” Yung Joc revealed that he was inspired to make an apology after Shannon Sharpe did the same on his podcast, Club Shay Shay.

Like Yung Joc, Sharpe expressed doubt over Lanez’s guilt. He tried to correct his mistake, however, by having Megan Thee Stallion on his podcast on July 2. He cleared the air right in front of her. “I believe the joke wouldn’t been just as funny if I would’ve left you out of it,” Sharpe explained. “So for any unwanted attention, harm, shame, embarrassment that I caused you or your family. I wanna say as a man, as I sit here before you, I apologize.”

Ice Spice & Central Cee Further Fuel Dating Rumors With Shopping Spree

July 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ice Spice and Central Cee have further fueled rumors that they’re dating after going on a shopping spree in the United Kingdom on Wednesday. They had previously been spotted cruising in Cee’s blue Lamborghini Urus SUV. Hitting the town, Spice rocked an all-pink matching outfit while Cee wore a black hoodie on top of black pants.

When DJ Akademiks shared a clip of the two on Instagram, fans had mixed responses. One user critiqued the idea of shopping for a romantic partner. “Spending your money on a woman you barely know will forever be crazy to me,” they wrote. Another theorized it’s all just a PR move: “This is all PR! She needs this more than him. Remember her streaming numbers have dropped tremendously.”

Central Cee previously discussed Spice during an interview with Complex, last year, explaining that she reminds him of himself. “She reminds me of me a bit… she’s cool innit,” he said at the time. “Humble, down to earth, don’t really care too much about the shiny stuff; but knows how to play the game. You can hear that in the music, and see that in the moves that she makes, and I appreciate that because some people don’t really know what they’re doing, and they take it for granted or they don’t take the opportunity and run with it — but she’s really running with it right now.”

Drake Heaps Praise On “Late Night Serenader” PartyNextDoor In Birthday Tribute

July 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake labeled PartyNextDoor the “late night serenader” who makes “melodies that persuade her” in a birthday tribute on his Instagram Story on Wednesday. The OVO singer turned 31 years old on July 3rd. He was famously the first artist to sign with Drake’s iconic record label. “More life to the late night serenader 6 side sound creator owl gang crusader melodies that persuade her baby making music to put her in labour none greater @partynextdoor,” Drake captioned a photo of the singer. “Stay tuned real soon.”

When Our Generation Music reposted the message on Instagram, fans made plenty of references to Drake’s ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar. On Lamar’s track, “Not Like Us,” he disses several of Drake’s associates, at one point rapping: “Party at the party, playin’ with his nose now.”

Party made headlines, earlier this week, for feuding with Chris Brown, Bryson Tiller, and Jeremih. After they all teamed up for “Wait On It,” Party posted on X (formerly Twitter): “I’m finna make these n***as cry… Bryson Chris; and Jeremih… enjoy, the nights, of your life. Doing videos, at 34, that b***h broke. I know 5 rnb singers who broke.” His ex, Desma, made an appearance in the music video for the group’s collaboration. After Party deleted the post, Brown came out and claimed that the OVO Sound singer attempted to apologize to him. “N****s speak without thinking sometimes… then call around to my people trying to retract sh*t,” he wrote on X. “NAW N***A, go on your socials and apologize or keep that same energy when you see me.” Hours later, Party posted: “To be clear, I got nothing but love n respect for those guys…. sh*t happens.”

Rihanna DM’s GloRilla To Ask When Her New Album Is Dropping

July 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rihanna loves GloRilla. The latter dropped off her new single, “TGIF,” in June, and Rihanna posted a video of herself dancing to it on Instagram. Evidently, the pop superstar wants more than a song, though. She slid into GloRilla’s DMs on July 2 and attempted to find out when the rapper would be dropping her full album. The irony, of course, being that Rihanna has kept fans waiting for new music since 2016. If there is any artist who should know about waiting, it’s her (and maybe Frank Ocean).

Rihanna’s DM made the rounds on social media, with many fans being humored by the singer’s fandom. She knows exactly what it’s like to wait for new music, without having any idea when it’ll come out. “You got all summer sis,” Rihanna wrote to GloRilla. “I know dis wild hypocritical, but when the album drop?” It’s absolutely wild to compare the release dates for Rihanna’s and GloRilla’s last projects. Rih dropped Anti in 2016, like we previously stated. GloRilla, meanwhile, dropped a mixtape in April of this year! She put out Ehhthang Ehhthang on streaming, which included the hit single “Wanna Be.”

Rihanna Joked About Being A Hypocrite

Every piece of music GloRilla has put out, actually, has come after the release of Rihanna’s last album. That being said, the rapper has discussed her rapidly evolving style. She told iHeartRadio that she has aimed to maintain her musical roots with Ehhthang Ehhthang, despite getting more popular. “The songs are just so raw,” she noted. “I was going back to my roots. I rebranded on it because last year I was just trying to go so big when I was in album mode.”

The upcoming GloRilla album, however, is going to be a little different. Since she already fed her mixtape audience, she will try to go bigger and broader. “[I wanted to] give em some raw gangsta music before I put my album out,” she explained. “Because I feel like I waited too long to drop last year so I went a whole year without a project.” GloRilla’s latest single, the one Rihanna has been bumping, definitely suggest an attempt at a radio smash. Hopefully fans (and RiRi) get to hear the new album soon.

Foolio’s Hacked IG Comments On Leaked Photo Of His Alleged Killer

July 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Foolio saga continues. The rapper was shot and killed on June 23 in Tampa, Florida. Generally, the rap community will mourn whoever’s life was lost, but the drama surrounding Foolio has drowned out the mourning. The rapper’s enemy, Yungeen Ace, has dropped two diss tracks since the shooting occurred. Even more bizarre, Foolio’s Instagram has remained active. The account has posted videos, and even left stray comments on Yungeen Ace’s disses. The account went silent over the weekend, but returned with a vengeance on July 2.

It was on this day that a photo of the rapper’s alleged killer surfaced online. The photo is blurry, as uploaded by the account Riemoh, but Foolio commented nonetheless. “Demi God,” the account wrote, with a purple demon emoji. It may seem confusing out of context, but this is a phrase that Foolio used while he was alive. During a No Jumper interview conducted in 2024, the rapper told the host that he could never die. “I ain’t going nowhere,” he asserted. “I’m a demigod. You can’t get me.” Foolio then posted the interview on his Instagram with the caption: “I’ll Never Die I’m a DemiGod.”

Foolio’s IG Wrote “Demi God” Underneath The Blurry Photo

The “Demi God” post also confirms that someone or some group of people have maintained control of the rapper’s social media. There are some fans who have theorized that the police have taken control of the account in an effort to locate the rapper’s killer. Then there are those who think Foolio’s mother is commenting from his account, but that doesn’t explain the odd, cryptic nature of the comments/posts.

Foolio’s mother issued a public statement following the rapper’s death. It was straightforward and sincere. She also announced that would be making a documentary about Foolio’s life. “The story that only I can tell because I know the Truths from the Fakes,” she wrote. “I think [I’m] the ONLY mother that [keeps] it Real while MOST others know [damn] well what was going on. with their OWN sons.” Foolio’s mother has no problem speaking her mind, so it stands to reason that she would admit she was the one posting under her son’s name. Hopefully the real identity of the IG user is eventually revealed.

Rick Ross Seems Happy & Carefree Following Vancouver Fight With Drake Fans

July 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rick Ross has a couple of Instagram formulas, one of which is a happy and boisterous message to his followers from a sunny day at his Miami home, usually paired with a promo for one of his liquor brands. He did so recently with his Luc Belaire champagne, and wished some “morning glory” to his fans despite some recent occurrences possibly shifting his mood. However, it seems like Rozay is pretty unbothered by his recent Vancouver, Canada fight with Drake fans after he tried to play Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” at a festival. It prompted some funny reactions from some OVO supporters, but it seems like he’s taking it in stride.

Still, one thing that Rick Ross didn’t appreciate at all was how his ex Tia Kemp was flirting with Drake in his Instagram comments section. “They f***ing his fat a** up,” she had remarked on social media in reaction to the Vancouver brawl. “I’m glad they smacked the s**t out your big a**. It seems like not even beef with the biggest rapper on the planet can distract him from continuing to engage in this nasty back-and-forth with his former partner.

Meanwhile, some fans took a look at Rick Ross’ old lyrics after this scuffle went down, pointing out the irony in some of them. “Like his moves, but he never had a fight in school / Always ran,” he rapped against Drake on “Champagne Moments,” and now he can definitely say that he’s had a fight. While Aubrey obviously didn’t ask for this to happen, it seems like fans clowned the Maybach Music Group mogul for losing the upper hand against his rival’s supporters. But some accounts paint Ross as the instigator, so we don’t know who has the claim to self-defense here.

Elsewhere, Boosie Badazz used this example to double down on his thoughts on rap beef and why he doesn’t want to be in one. “THIS WORLD GO START LISTENING TO MY WORDS ONE DAY SMH #ispeakthetruth,” he wrote on Twitter after Rick Ross’ fight went down. We’ll see what other reactions and developments emerge from the rap world regarding this. Maybe this won’t be the end of the former “Lemon Pepper Freestyle” duo’s saddening rift.

Foolio’s Alleged Instagram Hacker Claims “The Game Just Begun”, Freaking Out Fans Again

July 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Fans of Foolio continue to be disgusted, perplexed, and frightened, as his Instagram account remains active. Ever since the Florida rapper’s death was confirmed by his attorney on June 23, somehow someone has a hold of his social media account. The alleged hacker is still currently unknown and might be for a while as it is the internet after all. This suspicious activity was first noticed on June 28. The mystery person behind the keyboard left some “” emojis under Yungeen Ace’s second distasteful diss track, “Game Over”. The comment has since been deleted, but it prompted the latter to respond. “You still f***ing with me dude I love you 4eva,” he wrote probably sarcastically. Then, just hours later, a short video was shared to Foolio’s IG, asking people to follow a separate account. That action has also been removed.

Two days would pass before the next creepy stunt. Via an IG Story, the alleged hacker shared a paystub of some sort showing that “Foolio” made $250,000 off a promo. Finally, just yesterday, an unnerving message was sent out along with a clip from a No Jumper interview. In it, the hosts were wanting to see him again and the MC promised they would see him again because he is a “demigod”. That led to the caption reading, “I’ll Never Die I’m a DemiGod ”. So, yes, it is safe to say that things are beyond weird right now for his fans, but also for his still grieving family and friends who have to suffer through this.

Foolio Fans Are Confused & Scared

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

Unfortunately, it seems that until this person is caught, the unsettling actions are going to continue. In less than 24 hours, a disturbing clip from an older WWE wrestling match was reposted on his page, as well as video of him rapping in the car. The former is also on his Story and it was captioned, “My grandma does VOODOO”. However, the post to people’s feed had this message underneath, “He’s here, going to shock the world when the time is right. Game over?? The game just begun”. That was also axed from Foolio’s page, but that may be the most disturbing message yet. Fans share a similar sentiment with one person adding, “Boi this some spooky a** s*** ”.

What are your thoughts on someone still running Foolio’s Instagram account? Who do you think is posting on it? Should Instagram personally deactivate his page going forward? 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 Foolio. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Angela Simmons Issues Second Apology For Gun Purse At BET Awards

July 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Angela Simmons has had a rough 48 hours. The reality star turned heads at the BET Awards when she brought a bedazzled gun purse onto the red carpet. She not only showed off the gun purse, but posed with it as though it was actually a gun. She aimed it at photographers, which didn’t go over well, to say the least. Simmons was criticized for her fashion choice, and tried to quiet the situation by issuing an apology video. Evidently, the reality felt that more needed to be said.

Angela Simmons posted a lengthy written apology to Instagram on July 1. She explained her reasoning for bringing out the gun purse, and acknowledged why it may not have been a great idea in retrospect. “I deeply regret that this item, which symbolizes a gun, was inappropriate and insensitive,” she wrote over a black background. “Especially given my personal and community experiences with gun violence.” She claimed that she merely intended for the purse to “amplify” her beauty, but now views the accessory as a “bad decision.”

Angela Simmons Detailed Her Own Experience With Gun Violence

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

Simmons didn’t stop there. She then detailed the ways in which gun violence has impacted her life. “I have personally lost my partner, the father of my child, to gun violence,” she added. “I have witnessed its devastating impact on my community in Southeast Queens.” From there, Angela Simmons listed the ways in which she has fought gun violence. “My work with Erica Ford,” she explained. “And my own organization that creates programs to reduce gun violence and helps those directly impacted by the pandemic, have always been about making peace a lifestyle.”

The reality star wrapped up her statement by restating her apology. “I ask for your understanding and forgiveness,” she wrote. “And I hope that you can accept my sincere apology.” She referred to the gun purse as a “misstep” and promised that she would not let it impact the positive work she’s done. “I will not allow it to define my moral compass,” she subsequently wrote. “Or my commitment to promoting peace and ending gun violence.”
