Pusha T Labels Pharrell & Chad Hugo’s Neptunes Dispute “Stupidity”

Pusha T has spoken out on the legal dispute between Neptunes members Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo. Taking to his Instagram Story on Monday, he claimed that Hugo’s lawyer is just looking for a paycheck and labeled the situation “stupidity.” Hugo’s lawyer previously complained about Pharrell “fraudulently” filing to trademark the Neptunes’ name.

“There’s not a dollar involved in this stupidity. Just a lawyer looking to drain Chad’s pockets. Unreal,” he wrote. When a fan brought up Ralph Tresvant buying the trademark to New Edition, Pusha responded: “Smh… nothing more, nothing less.”

Hugo’s attorney, Kenneth D. Freundlich, wrote in a legal filing: “Throughout their over thirty year history, [Hugo] and Williams agreed to, and in fact, have divided all assets. By ignoring and excluding [Hugo] from the any and all applications filed by applicant for the mark ‘The Neptunes,’ applicant has committed fraud in securing the trademarks and acted in bad faith.” Check out Pusha’s response to the drama below.

A representative for Pharrell also responded to the situation in a statement to Billboard on Monday. They argued he only filed a trademark for the name to protect them from third parties. “Pharrell is surprised by this,” they wrote. “We have reached out on multiple occasions to share in the ownership and administration of the trademark and will continue to make that offer. The goal here was to make sure a third party doesn’t get a hold of the trademark and to guarantee Chad and Pharrell share in ownership and administration.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Pusha T as well as Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo on HotNewHipHop.

50 Cent Doubles Down On Trolling Stevie J Over Gay Accusations

As things get increasingly turbulent for Diddy, one person is taking an extended victory lap. 50 Cent has spent months blasting the rap mogul on social media sharing any kind of negative stories he can find about Diddy. He’s been posting about Diddy nearly every day dating all the way back to the original Cassie lawsuit that broke last year. That has also extended to some of the other people who have been pulled into the rap veteran’s orbit in the wake of new allegations, like Stevie J.

Stevie J was hit with accusations that he was gay from one particular lawsuit filed against Diddy by producer Lil Rod. The allegations also aimed at Meek Mill, and neither took them particularly well. Stevie J hasn’t been shy about how the allegations make him feel. He even publicly refuted them and threatening to fight 50 for spreading them. But that didn’t stop 50. He just made a new post to Instagram today featuring the names of various videos and headlines of stories about Stevie. The suggestion is obviously that the rumors have more legitimacy to them than Stevie would like to admit. Check out the full post 50 made below.

50 Cent Still Coming After Stevie J

While 50 has seemingly spent most of his time on social media in recent months, he’s also still a performing artist. Earlier today he was revealed as a late addition to the lineup for J. Cole’s Dreamville Festival. The two-day festival takes place later this week and was originally due to feature a performance from Chris Brown. But after he backed out of the festival for unconfirmed reasons, 50 was booked as a replacement.

Earlier today, 50 got some potentially bad news on the legal front. A new motion was filed in an already existing lawsuit. It aims to stop him from promoting the new spinoff series of Power. What do you think of 50 Cent continuing to attack Stevie J over alleged gay rumors? Do you believe Stevie J’s threats to fight him will ever come to fruition? Let us know in the comment section below.

Machine Gun Kelly Takes Fans Behind The Scenes Of His Blackout Tattoo

Back in February, Machine Gun Kelly briefly broke the internet when he revealed hit new tattoo. Rather than any particularly evocative piece of ink, he instead revealed that he had gotten a massive blackout of almost his entire arms and torso, covering up many of the tats that were already there. He got the chance to show it off in person just a few days later. That came when Drake invited MGK out to join him on stage during a show in the rapper’s native Cleveland.

Now he’s taking fans behind the scenes of the exhaustive process that resulted in his blackout tat. In the video he shows how many sessions he had to go through to get all of the ink on himself. Included in that is clips of the scaring and bleeding that resulted. It also features MGK describing it as the worst pain he’s ever felt. He also reveals he used a hyperbolic oxygen chamber in an attempt to help the tattoo heal faster. In the comments though, fans still aren’t enjoying the blackout. “Your old tattoos were iconic” one of the top comments on the post reads. Check out the full clip he shared recapping his journey with the tattoo below.

Machine Gun Kelly Shows Off His Blackout Tattoo

Over the weekend, MGK unveiled his new collaborative project with Trippie Redd. They teamed up for a 10-track, 30-minute EP called genre: sadboy. Since both artists have their fair share of haters, critics were taking shots at the project before it was even released.

One person they probably didn’t expect to take aim at the project was one of the producers whose work was used on it. But Trippie ended up in a heated back and forth on Twitter with a producer who didn’t seem to want his beat associated with MGK. What do you think of the video MGK shared showing off what he went through for his blackout tattoo? Do you think getting the blackout tat was a good idea? Let us know in the comment section below.

50 Cent Trolls Diddy On Instagram Yet Again

50 Cent is continuing to troll Diddy on social media amid the ongoing investigation into sex trafficking allegations he’s facing. Sharing a picture of Denzel Washington, 50 joked about Diddy recording people at the parties he’s hosted over the years. “When them boys show up at puffy crib again, he gone be like, so let me tell you about them people on those tapes. LOL,” he wrote.

In the comments section, many joined in on deriding Diddy. “First of all do not bring even the likeness of Denzel Washington into this filth. That man is a beacon of light and shouldn’t be even referenced in this foolishness,” one fan remarked. Others defended Diddy by claiming 50 is obsessed with the situation. “Poor fif. It’s OK to say your feelings are hurt! This crazy obsession you have with Puff is getting out of hand,” one user wrote. Another commented: “If Puff did what they’re accusing him of then he’s gonna get whatever is due in court but to repeatedly troll at this point is getting corny, n***a ain’t even been charged with a crime yet, our people something else because no other race does shit like this to one of theirs.”

Homeland Security agents raided Diddy’s properties in Los Angeles and Miami, last week. Afterward, his attorney, Aaron Dyer, described the move as a “gross overuse of military-level force.” He also clarified in a statement: “Mr. Combs was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities. Despite media speculation, neither Mr. Combs nor any of his family members have been arrested nor has their ability to travel been restricted in any way.” Regardless, 50 Cent hasn’t shied away from using the incident to troll Diddy on social media in recent days. He previously compared him to Jeffrey Epstein.

There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated,” Dyer said in a statement. “Mr. Combs was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities. Despite media speculation, neither Mr. Combs nor any of his family members have been arrested nor has their ability to travel been restricted in any way.”

When you on the bottom, it’s a denial-ation. All of them muthaf***as all with their suits on, and their cups up. Ain’t nobody saying nothing. Boy this world, boy.”

Azealia Banks Criticizes Lizzo’s Decision To Quit Music: “Stop Inviting People To Make Jokes”

Azealia Banks criticized Lizzo’s decision to quit music in the comments section of her announcement on Instagram over the weekend. In doing so, Banks argued that Lizzo invited the very trolling that caused her to fall out of love with the music industry. The comment comes after she previously apologized for taking aim at Lizzo over the years.

“I took back my criticism of you because it definitely clicked in my mind that I definitely wasn’t getting my point about the ways in which insidious people in corporate culture where positioning you to push demeaning initiatives, but sis your handle is ‘lizzo be eating.’ …. You’ve definitely given the public license to laugh at and with you by twerking at the Burger King counter and bathing in a tub of skittles,” Banks wrote. “Self-deprecation was certainly the aesthetic you chose to introduce yourself with. So I don’t see why you’d play victim rather than just stop intentionally inviting people to make jokes about that. You’re a beautiful girl, with a handle on music theory, Grammy awards and tons of success, just change the narrative and go high brow philharmonic on these h**’s and collab with ryuchi sakamoto.”

“I’m getting tired of putting up with being dragged by everyone in my life and on the Internet,” Lizzo explained in the post. “All I want is to make music and make people happy and help the world be a little better than how I found it. But I’m starting to feel like the world doesn’t want me in it. I’m constantly up against lies being told about me for clout & views… being the butt of the joke every single time because of how I look… my character being picked apart by people who don’t know me and disrespecting my name. I didn’t sign up for this sh*t — I QUIT [peace out emoji].” Check out Banks’ full response to the decision below.
