50 Cent Cuts Ties With Starz Over Network’s Diddy Interview Series

November 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent has done a lot for the Starz brand. He provided the network with one of its biggest shows to date, Power, and has provided them with various spinoffs as well. 50 knows how to concoct marketable television. Unfortunately for the network, the G-Unit mogul has decided to take his business elsewhere. He posted screenshot of a TV show announcement dating back to 2022, and proceeded to call out the network. The show in question involved Diddy. And as we all know, 50 Cent does not tolerate anything in relation to Diddy.

50’s screenshot features Diddy and Fat Joe. The Deadline article that accompanied the screenshot stated that the New York rappers were set to star in an interview show for Starz. The show didn’t have a title, but it did have star power. It also had the backing of LeBron James’ production company, SpringHill. It did not matter that the Starz deal was struck two years ago, though. 50 Cent was put off by the fact that the network hadn’t canceled the show on the heels of Diddy’s recent charges. “This is a sh*t head move for Starz,” 50 Cent wrote. “I have no idea why they wouldn’t clean this up but I’m not selling any new series to this network.”

50 Cent then proceeded to tag Cognac and Fat Joe. “This is why I said I’ll wait to do the show,” he added. It’s a power move (pardon the pun) to severe ties with a TV network on principle. That said, 50 Cent already has some small screen alternatives cooking up on the side. The rapper inked a deal with the production company Lionsgate in August to launch a channel called 50 Cent Action. It will feature a mix of Lionsgate content and access to the entire Power library.

50 Cent also launched G-Unit Studios this year. The studio will serve to expand the film and television output of 50’s existing production company. It’s worth noting that the rapper ended his deal with Starz in 2023, citing unhappiness with the way the network promoted his shows. “This is me packing my stuff,” he wrote. “My deal is up over here I’m out. If I told you how much dumb sh*t I deal with over here.” The tension between 50 and Starz was already high, but it looks as though the Diddy connection was the last straw.

Chrisean Rock And Tesehki’s Sister Shuts Down Rock’s Incest Allegations

November 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Chrisean Rock has thrown everybody off their game. The rapper and reality star is known for making bold claims, but the trailer for Baddies: Midwest set a new precedent. Rock came out and accused her sister Tesehki of molesting her when she was a child. Tesehki denied the allegations outright, and even threatened to sue Rock for slander. Chrisean Rock and Tesehki have another sister, however, and she has decided to weigh in on the situation. The long and short of it is that she doesn’t believe Rock.

Rock and Tesehki’s sister, Chasity, made it clear that she does not have a bias amongst her sisters. “You know I been rocking and rolling with every sibling,” she insisted. Chasity then claimed that Chrisean Rock was lying. “What makes you think I’m gonna roll with something that’s not accurate, that’s not true,” she asked viewers via her Instagram Story. Chasity claimed that Rock dropped her molestation accusations as a means of generating buzz for Baddies: Midwest. She also revealed that she has been offered money to say things about other people for the camera, and turned it down.

“I stand for something,” Chasity stated, shading her sister. “I’m not going against the grain, I’m going against the lies.” The thing that really bothered Chasity, more than the alleged lie, is that Chrisean Rock targeted their own sister in the process. “To make another sister look bad, so you look better,” she said. “That sh*t corny as f*ck.” Chasity repeatedly makes references to what’s going on behind closed doors, which she never fully elaborates on. It could be that the sibling is referring to the production of Baddies: Midwest, but there isn’t enough to go on to draw a strong conclusion.

Chasity is not the first person to denounce Chrisean Rock’s claims. Tesehki responded to the allegations shortly after the Baddies: Midwest trailer aired. She posted footage of a conversation between her, Rock and another women, in which Rock seemed to clarify that she was never molested as a kid. Tesehki then posted text accusing Chrisean Rock of “stealing” other people’s trauma. “This shhh hurt on a whole diff level,” Tesehki noted. “How you trying [to] take me an Chas trauma and say it’s yours.” Chrisean Rock’s story was also questioned by the grandmother of her child, Karlissa Saffold Harvey.

JT Congratulates Lil Uzi Vert For “Eternal Atake 2” Despite Negative Fan Reactions

November 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

JT and Lil Uzi Vert always support each other through thick and thin, so it’s nice when the latter circumstance comes up more often than the former. Moreover, she recently took to Instagram to congratulate them on their brand new album Eternal Atake 2, penning a message on how proud she is of her boo. “So proud of you always!” the former City Girl wrote. “My top 3 is light year, pears to mars & Mr.chow honorable mention chill bae! Really the whole thing but that’s being bias because you do no wrong in my eyes! Forever your #1 fan! Paint the world white my baby, congratulations on EA2.”

However, a lot of Lil Uzi Vert fans don’t share this same sentiment, at least when it comes to the top three songs debate and the quality of Eternal Atake 2 as a whole. Many of them expressed disappointment in this LP, throwing “washed” allegations left and right while speaking on how much more they prefer their older catalog. Of course, fan reception isn’t everything, especially when the Philly rapper has someone like JT there to share some love. Maybe this initially negative reception ages like milk or this project doesn’t stand out in the wider Uzi catalog in retrospect.

JT’s Message For Lil Uzi Vert

In addition, this follows some more backlash concerning Lil Uzi Vert, but for completely different reasons concerning JT. Some fans felt that she disrespected them when she didn’t post anything for National Boyfriend Day on October 3, as irrelevant as this aspect was for others online. Regardless of this omission, the couple’s pride for each other and in each other is usually no secret online. As such, maybe a specific post wasn’t necessary to show this, although it certainly couldn’t have hurt.

Meanwhile, as fans bicker and throw their hot takes around JT and Lil Uzi Vert’s music and relationship, they are just having a good time wherever they go. They’ve never been the type to get caught up in backlash, even though they’ve previously opened up about insecurities and celebrity pressures. Even if you weren’t a fan of Eternal Atake 2, you can be just as happy for the couple’s steady sailing.

Travis Scott, Sexyy Red And More Celebrate Young Thug’s Freedom

October 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s Halloween for most of the world, but it’s Young Thug’s day for hip hop fans. The rapper was set free on Thursday after a lengthy trial. He was given 15 years probation, and a host of conditions upon release, but he was released, and that’s what matters. The hip hip world showed their support for Young Thug all throughout his trial. Other rappers made it clear that they were desperate to see their peer released, so he could assume his legendary career. Now that it’s happened, the celebration has begun.

Sexyy Red, a rapper who was repeatedly cited Young Thug as her “twin,” took to Twitter to voice her happiness. “They let twin out,” she exclaimed. Jay Electronica took a wordier, Jay Electronica-esque approach in his tweet. He praised Allah and reminded Thugger to make the most of his second chance. “Praise be to Allah they let this man come home,” he wrote. “Be Great Slime.” DJ Mustard also got in on the celebration by noting that Halloween has been topped. “Thug free,” he tweeted out. “What a day!” NBA athlete James Harden voiced his support more subtly. He tweeted out a snake to represent the rapper’s “slime” aesthetic.

Travis Scott Called Young Thug His “Brudda”

THEY LET TWIN OUT!!!

The most notable show of love, however, came from Travis Scott. Thug and Travis Scott rose to fame around the same time. Thugger appeared on Scott’s breakout mixtape, Days Before Rodeo. He’s stellar on the track “Mamacita,” which gained renewed interest during his trial. The mixtape was uploaded to streaming, which exposed it to a brand new generation. “Mamacita” also featured an exemplary verse from Thug’s friend Rich Homie Quan, who died on September 5. Young Thug and the Astroworld superstar have a particularly strong bond.

Unsurprisingly, Travis Scott posted a photo alongside Thugger. He posted the photo on his Instagram Story with the caption: “My brudda otw home.” The man who narrated Travis Scott’s first album, Rodeo, also stepped in with words of support. T.I. posted his own photos of Thug on Twitter. “Welcome Home lil bruddah,” he wrote. “It’s been too long… Time to get back to it!!!” T.I. had previously gone on record to state that he would make sure Thug was taken care of when he got home. Thankfully, he’s home a lot sooner than anybody anticipated. Check out additional celeb posts below.

Tokyo Toni Believes Chrisean Rock’s Incest Allegations Against Tesehki

October 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Chrisean Rock sent shockwaves through the reality sphere when trailer for Baddies: Midwest dropped. The rapper accused her older sister, Tesehki, of molesting her when they were both children. Tesehki was predictably shocked, and the trailer saw her threaten to sue Rock. Several celebrities have weighed in on the incest allegations, including Rock’s own mother in law. On October 30, Tokyo Toni opted to get in the mix as well. Blac Chyna’s mother took to Instagram to voice her support for Rock and what she’d claimed.

Tokyo Toni took a surprisingly candid approach to Chrisean Rock’s allegations. “Well if she was touched she was touched,” the reality star stated. “Why are we acting shocked about that? I’m not shocked and I believe her. Every word.” Tokyo Toni took a beat before elaborating on her perspective. “Unfortunately, it happens,” she noted. Toni’s decision to believe Chrisean Rock’s allegations was a stark departure from the way that the rapper’s mother in law responded. Karlissa Savoy Harvey, Blueface’s mother, also took to Instagram to make her opinion on the matter known.

Instead of supporting the mother of her grandson, though, Harvey took Tesehki’s side. She noted that the elder sister has “well, beautiful mannered kids” and is more than willing to give Tesehki the benefit of the doubt in terms of the incest allegations. Interestingly, Tokyo Toni has been on the side of Harvey and Blueface in the past. When the two were in the midst of ongoing social media drama with Chrisean Rock, Toni got on Instagram to vent about the situation. Toni expressed sympathy for Harvey, in particular, and claimed that Harvey should have “beat the living sh*t” out of Rock.

“She shoulda whooped ya,” Tokyo Toni added. “She shoulda knocked your other f**king teeth out.” It’s an unexpected turn of events to see the reality star show support and even sympathy to Rock after these 2022 remarks. The allegiances between Tokyo Toni, Chrisean Rock, and Harvey have shifted radically in the last few years, however. One can only imagine the drama that’s going to result from Rock’s incest allegations. Baddies: Midwest is set to premiere November 3 on the Zeus Network.

Halle Bailey Dresses Like Halle Berry’s James Bond Character For Halloween

October 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yes, Halle Bailey’s name was inspired by Halle Berry. The former’s parents considered naming her “Hailey,” but decided to change it to “Halle” as a tribute to the Oscar-winning actress. Bailey has had an impressive career over her own in the last decade, as evidenced by her leading role in the Little Mermaid remake. Halle Bailey decided to pay tribute to her near-namesake, however, this Halloween. She dressed like Berry’s character from the James Bond film Die Another Day, and the internet was impressed.

Die Another Day may not be one of the most acclaimed 007 films. In fact, the tepid critical response to the film led producers to give the MI6 agent a gritty reboot with Daniel Craig a few years later. That said, Halle Berry’s presence, and her orange swim suit, remains one of the film’s best known images. Halle Bailey went all out with the recreation. She donned Berry’s short hair, orange bikini, and even the knife and holster that the character wears in the film. Bailey has a knack for recreating iconic film characters, as evidenced by her decision to dress like Janet Jackson from Poetic Justice in 2023.

Halle Bailey Referred To Halle Berry As Her ‘Queen’

Interestingly enough, Halle Bailey wasn’t the only musician who decided to cosplay as Berry. Coi Leray and Tyla decided to pay tribute to the iconic actress by dressing up as characters from different films. Leray dressed up like Berry’s Catwoman, and Tyla decided to take a left turn by dressing up like Berry’s character from The Flintstones Movie. All three celebs earned praise from their fans, but it was the Halle Berry co-sign that made the biggest impact. She wrote that Bailey, Leray and Tyla “crushed it” above a Pop Crave tweet rounding up the different costumes.

It was Halle Bailey, however, who received individualized praise for her costume. The singer posted pics of her in character, and Halle Berry was effusive in her praise. “Awe …my girl did that,” Berry wrote in the comment section. “What a huge compliment! Love you angel.” Halle Bailey was awe struck by the praise, and returned the love. “My queen approves,” she wrote on her Instagram Story. “My life is made.”

Ari Lennox Reveals She Wants Out Of “Manipulative” Dreamville Contract

October 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ari Lennox has been part of Dreamville Records since day one. She was the first female artist, and first singer, to appear on the label, and she’s been part of every Dreamville compilation to date. Lennox has displayed fantastic musical chemistry with the likes of J. Cole and JID over the years. Unfortunately, the unity of the Revenge of the Dreamers comps has not extended to the business side of things. Ari Lennox took to Instagram on Tuesday night to put the label on blast for mishandling her career.

Ari Lennox cited Dreamville and its parent label, Interscope, for failing to prioritize her career. She claimed that both sides have been “playing with her all month,” and she’s fed up with it. She also accused Dreamville of being clueless when it came to how to market her strengths as an artist. “I’m so tired of people treating me like they’re sorry for me and like l’m the face of mental health,” she opined. “I’m ok and l’ve never been happier. What I don’t like is being signed and lied to and manipulated.” Ari then claimed that “not one person at those labels ever knew how to market or protect me.”

Ari Lennox Blasted Dreamville’s Inability To Market Her

Ari Lennox may have decided to take the gloves off, but she still alluded to there being a lot more drama behind the scenes. “Y’all don’t know the half,” she added. “Constant let down and neglect. This industry stuff will never be for me.” The caption she provided with the Instagram message may have been the most scathing indictment of Dreamville and Interscope of all. “I want out of my contract,” she wrote. Lennox also tagged both labels.

The text post that Ari Lennox made was accompanied by a nearly twenty minute Instagram Live in which she voiced her discontent with Dreamville. “I feel like I’ve been played,” she repeatedly stated. Ari Lennox told fans that she was willing to put up with other shortcomings on the label’s part as long as she could get her music out. Once she began to be sidled by delays, however, she decided to go straight to fans and clarify why she has yet to bless them with another album. It’ll be fascinating to see how Dreamville responds to Ari Lennox’s very public airing out.

Ola Runt Responds To Playboi Carti’s 2020 Diss Song After Prison Release

October 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ola Runt and Playboi Carti do not get along. The two rappers have been going at one another for years. Playboi Carti went as far as to aim a diss track at Ola Runt on his 2020 album, Whole Lotta Red. The diss was titled “Stop Breathing,” but Runt was already behind bars by the time it dropped. Well, Runt was let out at the end of August, and he’s eager to pick the beef back up. He hopped on Instagram and made it very clear that he has a response track ready to go. He previewed the song in a car, and leveled some aggressive threats at Playboi Carti.

Ola Runt’s diss is reportedly titled “All Dead.” The title seems to be riffing on Playboi Carti’s most recent single, “All Red.” Runt calls out the enigmatic Playboi Carti for failing to get his music played in his native Atlanta. “Whole Lotta Red,” Ola Runt raps. “How you say that’s music but the A don’t play it.” The rapper then goes after Carti’s masculinity. “P**sy n**ga you wearin’ thongs, I bet you shave your legs,” he adds. Ola Runt took things a step further by tagging Playboi Carti on Instagram. He also targeted Carti’s crew, Homixide Gang.

Ola Runt Claims Carti’s Music Doesn’t Get ATL Play

It was only a matter of time before Ola Runt responded to “Stop Breathing.” Playboi Carti’s 2020 song was a scathing diss that went after Runt’s Henchmen crew. Bars like “I got n**gas in chain gang on my side” and “I had the n**gas shank Ola for a pie” made it clear Carti wasn’t playing around. The conflict between these two men stem from the death of Carti’s friend Bigg Sosa. It’s widely believed that Runt’s crew was responsible for Sosa’s death in 2023. “Ever since my brother died (Died, what? What? Yeah),” Carti added on the song. “I’ve been thinkin’ ’bout homicide.”

PARTYNEXTDOOR Teases New Music With Cryptic Instagram Post

October 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

PARTYNEXTDOOR has been cooking something up over the last few months. The R&B veteran already dropped an album in 2024, but he hasn’t slowed down. If anything, his radio silence in the last couple of months has fans anticipating something huge. It helps, of course, that PARTYNEXTDOOR has already confirmed a Drake collab album before the end of the year. Details have been sparse since the album was announced, but a recent Instagram post suggests new music is around the corner.

On October 28, PARTYNEXTDOOR posted a batch of photos to his profile. The caption made it clear that the era defined by his last album, PARTYNEXTDOOR 4, is no more. There’s something else brewing, and it’s almost here. “Next life loading,” he wrote. The word choice does seemingly allude to the “More Life” mantra that Drake has been using since the release of the playlist of the same name in 2017. A playlist that also featured a PARTYNEXTDOOR collab. PND has also confirmed that the collaboration album with Drake will boast 15 songs.

Drake confirmed that the joint album would be dropping in the fall, and we are firmly in the thick of the season. The rapper’s birthday month has come and gone, but even without word of new music, there have been hints at what’s to come. Footage of Drake partying on his birthday made its way online, and some of the footage include snippets of unreleased songs. The snippets weren’t long enough to discern if PARTYNEXTDOOR appeared on any of the songs, but the way people around them have talked it up, it sounds like it’s almost done.

OVO Noel recently went on The Fry Yiy Show on SiriusXM. The veteran engineer assured the host that Drake and PARTYNEXTDOOR have a “classic” in the works, and he’s excited for the world to hear it. “You guys know what’s coming for you,” he asserted. “Party and Drake have a classic. We trying to put the finishing touches on it, so.” Noel has been Drake’s engineer since the release of Thank Me Later in 2010, so it’s safe to assume he has the inside scoop.

Tesehki Breaks Silence After Chrisean Rock Accused Her Of Childhood Molestation

October 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Chrisean Rock’s career has been characterized by drama. The rapper and reality star has made far more headlines for her personal life than she ever has her music. This trend continued on the 28th of October. Chrisean Rock dropped a bombshell during the trailer for the Baddies: Midwest special. She alleged that she was molested by her older sister, Tesehki, when she was a child. The internet was rightfully shocked by this allegation, but none more than Tesehki. She took to social media to give her side of the story.

Tesehki’s shock was evident in the aforementioned Baddies: Midwest trailer. She threatened to sue Chrisean Rock for defamation, but she provided much more context via Instagram. The rapper posted footage of an old Instagram Live between her, Chrisean Rock, and a third woman. The footage sees the accuser, Rock, express sympathy for the other two for the sexual abuse they claim to have suffered at a young age. The most notable point, however, is that Rock claims she did not experience the same thing. “Y’all went through some sh*t,” she told Tesehki and the other woman. “I never personally went through something that took my childhood away.”

Tesehki Alleges Chrisean Rock Is Stealing Her Trauma

Tesehki is using Chrisean Rock’s own words against her. In case the footage did not make her defense clear, however, the rapper provided additional context in the form of text. She made it clear that she was deeply hurt by Rock’s accusation. “This shhh hurt on a whole diff level,” she wrote. “How you trying [to] take me an Chas trauma and say it’s yours…” Tesehki then took to the IG comment section to imply that Chrisean is making these allegations in an attempt to draw in viewers. A fan theorized that the Chrisean Rock admission was “made up” as a publicity stunt, and Tesehki promptly pinned the message.

To further complicate matters, Blueface’s mother, Karlissa Savoy Harvey, weighed in. She took to IG Live to give her two cents on Chrisean Rock’s allegations. Harvey is, after all, the grandmother to Rock’s kid. Harvey actually took Tesehki’s side in the she-said-she-said. She noted that the situation is extremely “unfortunate,” but stated that both sisters are “lucky” to be alive and successful. Harvey also praised Tesehki’s “well, beautiful mannered kids.”
