Flo Milli Sparks Pregnancy Rumors With New Video And Fans Are Shaken

November 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Flo Milli has been crushing it in 2024. The rapper released her third critically acclaimed album, Fine Ho, Stay, and scored her first top 20 single on Billboard. She’s bigger than ever. The fact that she’s at such a crucial point in her career is what shocked so many fans on November 12. Flo Milli posted a video of her dancing to a snippet of a new song. She asked fans what she should name the song. Most of the fans were distracted, however, by the belief that the rapper had revealed her baby bump.

The comment section was absolutely flooded with supportive messages. Many were shocked to notice Flo Milli’s baby bump, given that the rapper had previously shown no signs of pregnancy. The thing that makes this whole ordeal more complicated, though, is Flo Milli’s response. The rapper noticed that most of the comments revolved around her perceived pregnancy. She decided to address this sudden rumor, and she suggested that she wasn’t actually pregnant. “Damn,” she wrote. “I can’t be bloated?.” It’s still unclear if the rapper is playing coy with fans or if there was genuine misunderstanding on their part.

The confusion over Milli’s pregnancy is bizarrely similar to a recent situation involving GloRilla. The latter posted a photo with a very pronounced baby bump, which absolutely melted the brains of fans, as she was in the midst of promoting her debut album. There was also the fact that GloRilla had previously said that she doesn’t want to get pregnant, as it would slow down her career. The pregnancy was cap, like some suspected, but the jury is still out with regard to Flo Milli.

One thing’s for sure, if she is pregnant, fans on Twitter are absolutely beside themselves. They flocked to the app to express their confusion/frustration. Some worried that pregnancy would put a halt to Flo Milli’s rising career. Others were simply baffled that an alleged pregnancy occurred in the midst of Milli’s most high profile year yet. “Flo Milli pregnant,” one user wrote. “Bad b*tches are being taken out one by one.” Another fan put added it to the other dubious events that have taken place in November. “Flo Milli dead wrong for dropping a pregnancy announcement like we needed more bad news this month,” they added. Check out additional Twitter reactions to this pregnancy rumor below!

Chance The Rapper Breaks Silence On Donald Trump’s Election Victory

November 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Chance the Rapper was an artist who was emblematic of the Obama administration. He made his name on charisma and kindness, on wholesomeness and hope. He was repeatedly praised by Obama for his contributions to both music and their shared hometown of Chicago. Chance the Rapper has not had an easy 2020s, however. The release of The Big Day in 2019 effectively killed his career momentum, and he has been quiet in the years since. Chano decided to get on Instagram on November 11, however, and give his two cents on the outcome of the recent U.S. election.

Chance the Rapper did not pen an impassioned plea for unity, or a message detailing his own outrage. Instead, he decided to post photos of legendary African leaders through history. These leaders include Malcolm X, Field Marshall Musa Mwariama and Harriet Tubman among countless others. Most of these leaders are depicted wielding a weapon of some sort, be it a sword or a firearm. It’s a surprising choice coming from a rapper who is both celebrated and reviled for his squeaky clean image. The caption adds to the sense of rebellion emanating from the post. “To the lost,” Chance the Rapper writes.

Chance The Rapper Has Criticized Trump For Years

Chance the Rapper’s post was met with confusion by many. Some criticized the rapper for promoting violence that contrasts with the messages in his music. “Fr you that violent?,” one user asked. Another called out Chano for speaking out against Trump, while at the same time being one of the wealthy who will presumably benefit from the politician’s second term. Chance the Rapper has made his dislike for Trump evident since day one, however. Trump thanked Chance for his kind words about Kanye West, who was a huge Trump supporter in 2018, but the rapper was not having it. He quote tweeted Trump’s post and wrote back: “Nah, that ain’t it yo.”

There was a third reaction to Chance the Rapper’s post. Many fans voiced their desire for new music instead of politically-charged IG posts. It’s been half a decade since Chano’s last release, and he has been teasing the release of Star Line since 2022. The feedback to buzz singles like “Together” and “3333” and has been positive, and enough time has passed that fans are curious to hear what new Chance music would even sounds like. Here’s hoping we get it soon.

Doja Cat Sparks Album Excitement By Releasing New Song Titles

November 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Doja Cat is back at it. The singer/rapper has been riding the wave of success brought about by her last album, Scarlet, but now she’s decided to bless fans with something new. At least, the idea of something new. Doja Cat took to social media on November 11 to post a series of unnumbered and unrelated song titles. It was initially confusing, given that none of the titles match up with previously released songs. It then donned on fans that Doja was providing a glimpse of what to expect on her upcoming album.

Pop Crave took a screenshot of the songs in question, which were originally posted on Doja Cat’s IG Story. There were 13 titles listed in total, which is more than enough to constitute an album. Some of Doja’s song titles include: “Crack”, “Break My Heart”, “Cards”, “Acts of Service”, “Turn the Lights” and “Make It Up.” The others listed are: “Take Me Dancing”, “Ain’t News”, “Anything”, “Appreciation”, “Wood Hally”, “Slow Burn” and “Did I Lie.” Doja Cat did not provide context for these songs. She did, however, provide a crucial clue two weeks prior to the release of these titles. She got on social media on October 24 and tweeted one word: “Album.” It’s pretty easy to put two and two together on this one.

Doja Cat’s rollout for this new album has already different from the rollout for Scarlet. The artist claimed that she was in an “angry place” while making Scarlet, and wanted the music to speak for itself. She did very little promo for the album as a result. She said as much during a rare Present Space interview. “It’s sort of my ‘Why I oughta!’ moment of squaring up with everyone and defending myself,” Doja explained. “Telling myself that I’m here for me, not just for everybody else’s enjoyment.”

Doja Cat fans were disappointed to learn that Scarlet was snubbed at the 2025 Grammy Awards. The album was not recognized in any of the major categories, despite Doja’s success with the organization in the past. That said, Doja Cat was the recipient of good news on November 9. She surpassed Cardi B and Nicki Minaj to become the most platinum certified female rapper in Billboard history. She has 13 releases that that have gone platinum, with the most recent being “Rules.”

Lil Uzi Vert Sparks Online Speculation After Dubbing Frank Ocean “CFO”

November 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Uzi Vert has fans on their back foot. The rollout for Eternal Atake 2 was more acclaimed that the album itself. Many felt that the sequel to his 2020 album was massive let down, especially given the hype that it had accrued. Some considered it Uzi Vert’s worst release to date. Now that the dust has settled, though, fans have begun to concoct theories about its release. Lil Uzi Vert compounded these theories on the 11 of November. They posted a photo of Frank Ocean on their Instagram Story.

Frank Ocean is about as elusive as an artist gets. Nobody knows what the singer-songwriter is doing, let alone when he plans to return with a new album. He hasn’t dropped since 2016, and he didn’t even make an appearance on his buddy Tyler, The Creator’s new release. Lil Uzi Vert posting a photo of Ocean is an odd enough move without context, but the context provided made things more intriguing for fans. Over a photo of Ocean read the next: “CFO.” Lil Uzi Vert didn’t expand on how/why Frank Ocean is a “CFO,” also known “Chief Financial Officer,” but fans have concocted a theory.

Lil Uzi Vert Seemingly Cites Ocean As An Influence

The going theory online is that Uzi Vert took a page out of Frank Ocean’s playbook. Fans suspect that the rapper dropped Eternal Atake 2 as a means of fulfilling a record deal. Not because they felt it was a defining piece of work. Ocean employed a similar tactic in 2016, when he released Endless to complete his Def Jam deal, then turned around and dropped Blonde a day later. Uzi Vert’s evocation of Ocean, via the term “CFO,” has led fans to suspect that they are acknowledging Ocean as an influence on their label dealings.

Lil Uzi Vert’s desire to release music more frequently supports this theory. They said as much during a recent interview with Rolling Stone. “Yeah. I’m on go. I’m not even lying,” they explained. “They thought I was lying a few minutes ago. Now the tape is coming, everybody’s like, ‘You weren’t lying.’ They swore I was lying. They were cursing me out.” Time will tell if Uzi Vert decides to sign with another record label and drop, like Frank Ocean did before them.

India Royale Spends Quality Time With Lil Durk’s Kids While Their Father Is In Jail

November 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

While Lil Durk is currently behind bars for his alleged murder-for-hire case, his longtime partner India Royale is trying to keep the family united, hopeful, supportive, and supported. She recently took to her Instagram Story to share a picture of all of Smurk’s children, who were there to support his son Angelo winning a trophy at a football game. “My Babies [heart-eyes emoji] Congratulations Angelo! You did!” India wrote on her social media post. Many fans in the comments section under the Instagram post below lamented the family’s tough situation, but they commended her for holding things down and staying strong amid the struggle.

What’s more is that India Royale showed her support for Lil Durk in ways that she didn’t even need to go through, such as attending a court hearing in his case. A lot of people don’t have this luxury or don’t have people in their corner to advocate for them and physically show their camaraderie. Even though we still don’t have a lot of info on the case’s development or current matters, this heartens folks who feel for what the family is going through. Hopefully this support and unity continues regardless of the outcome of justice.

India Royale Celebrates Lil Durk’s Kids

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

Before this whole arrest, Lil Durk and India Royale often dedicated a lot of time to being there for their children and celebrating them online. For example, the Chicago rapper and his kids matched outfits for a very wholesome Father’s Day celebration, for which India was also present. Amid a lot of conflicting narratives and optics, it’s important to distinguish the positive elements from the negatives. Sadly, both things can be true, but it’s needless to speculate without a full court and jury trial that goes over evidence.

As such, all we can do as fans is continue to wish Lil Durk and India Royale’s family well amid a whirlwind of challenges. For those wondering about the latest updates in the federal case, the indictment against him contained song lyrics, which is a controversial aspect of the criminal relationship with artistry in hip-hop these days. Hopefully the actual case eschews misconstruing art for evidence and focuses on the actual facts that will determine justice.

He began by revealing that friends have been hitting him up joking about how little sleep he must be getting. Harris explained that, in actuality, he never got any sleep before becoming a father because he was always out working and partying. “But now, I’m damn sure not getting no sleep,” he remarked.

Another added: “He seems like he’s enjoying himself and his baby. That’s great! Leave this man alone.”

Kamala Harris’ Family Cheers Her Up After Disappointing Election Result

November 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kamala Harris is spending time with her family after losing the 2024 presidential election to Donald Trump. Her niece, Meena, recently shared photos of her playing Connect Four with some loved ones. Meena wrote in the caption: “Back to where it all began only a few months ago. My eternal gratitude to everyone who showed up. We love her so much.”

Fans of her campaign showed plenty of support in the comments section. “It’s so bittersweet but I’m so glad she gets to have this kind of love and joy again,” one user wrote. Another added: “I know that’s right Kamala! You don’t deserve all that Dramala. Gone and rest your Mindala.” One more theorized that she’ll get the job done in 2028: “She will be back. She had 100 days to complete the impossible and almost did it. I believe she will regroup and execute to perfection in 2028. It took Joe Biden 3 attempts to finally win. I don’t even consider the 100-day sprint an honest attempt.”

Kamala Harris Concedes To Donald Trump

Republicans also secured control of the Senate for the first time in four years. (Photo by Andrew Harnik/Getty Images)

Harris conceded to Donald Trump in the 2024 election back on November 6th, after losing every swing state to the Republican candidate. “The outcome of this election is not what we wanted, not what we fought for, not what we voted for,” she told her supporters during a speech at Howard University. “But hear me when I say … the light of America’s promise will always burn bright as long as we never give up and as long as we keep fighting.”

Kendrick Lamar Shouts Out Ab-Soul’s New Album On Social Media

November 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kendrick Lamar returned to his burner Instagram account, @jojoruski, to shout out his Black Hippy partner Ab-Soul’s new album, Soul Burger. This took a lot of fans by surprise thanks to K.Dot’s not-so-active social media presence, and because of the conversation around his support of other artists. If you weren’t already aware, the whole Drake battle situation caused many to criticize how Kendrick seemingly doesn’t do much to promote the music and moves of his peers. There’s a whole debate around that which we don’t need to get into here, as you probably already know what’s up. Still, to make a long story short, it depends on how much stock you put into social media activity to begin with.

Nevertheless, Kendrick Lamar actually fought back against these narratives thanks to his shoutout of Doechii’s new album, Alligator Bites Never Heal. As such, this marks the second TDE-affiliated nod on his social media as of late, although that album appeared on his main page rather than his Finsta. That opened up a conversation as well, but its exhausting nature made both sides land on pretty much the same conclusion.

Kendrick Lamar Salutes Ab-Soul’s Soul Burger

Regardless of all that Kendrick Lamar discussion, you shouldn’t need him to tell you that you should listen to the new Ab-Soul album, Soul Burger. It’s a very solid and compelling effort from the veteran lyricist, pairing dizzying rhymes and melodic curiosities with stark, varied, and engaging production across various hip-hop styles. In fact, the aforementioned Doechii makes an appearance on the cut “I, Myself & Me,” which is a surefire highlight on the project. If you need a superstar to determine your listening habits, that’s on you. But if you want these artists to get the most attention they can, then it’s understandable to want more from the pgLang creative.

Of course, Kendrick Lamar barely has to do anything to get praise of his own. Two of his Drake diss tracks from this year, “Not Like Us” and the Future and Metro Boomin collab “Like That,” made for seven Grammy nominations for next year. But some folks hope the Compton legend would open his mouth more for his other colleagues, so this Ab-Soul shoutout is a welcome practice.

50 Cent Fuels Dame Dash Feud With Shady IG Post

November 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent and Dame Dash’s back and forth continues, with Fif throwing the latest jab on Instagram today. He shared a clip suggesting that everyone including Dame should “try to have a nice day,” and included some serious shade in his caption. “Tag Dame and tell him If he was respectful to people when he was up, this would never have happened. [laughing emoji] Try to have a nice day!” he wrote.

At the time of writing, it remains unclear exactly what prompted Fif’s post, as they’ve been going after one another online for a while. Recently, however, Dame sat down for an interview on America Nu Network, where he questioned 50 Cent’s behavior towards Cam’ron at SelectCon in New York City last month.

A post shared by 50 Cent (@50cent)

“50 Cent gave him a pound… I got mad a little bit about that because 50 patted him on his hips twice. He gave him a pat pat. So I’m like, ‘Yo, why you smacking Cam on his a** like that?’ Pause! Like what? In this environment, in a tight-a** suit?” he said. “What do you do when a strong-a** n***a with a tight suit smacks you on the a**? You got to say stop. No pat-pat. We not in the pat-pat club.”

Dame’s remarks arrived shortly after Fif clowned him for his financial issues and for his dental mishap that went viral earlier this year. He had a lot to say in response to Dame admitting he was glad the video got people talking. “So let me get this straight,” he began. “@Dame dash you was praying your teeth fell out, so people would talk about it. yeah you broke for real, this is a new low ! keep my name out your mouth, and your teeth in ok ? LOL.” What do you think of 50 Cent continuing to troll Dame Dash on Instagram? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates

Bhad Bhabie Reveals Cancer Diagnosis After Fans Comment On Weight Loss

November 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bhad Bhabie shocked the music world on November 7. The rapper and social media presence has been the subject of intense scrutiny regarding her appearances. Fans pointed out that she had recently lost a lot of weight, and speculated as to why. Bhad Bhabie got tired of the speculating, and decided to set the record straight. The rapper revealed that she has been taking cancer medication. The bombshell news was dropped on her Instagram Story.

Bhad Bhabie criticized fans for “running with the worst narrative” with regards to her life. “I’m sorry my cancer medicine made me lose weight,” she wrote on her IG Story. “I’m slowly gaining it back. So stop running with the worst narratives.” The rapper did not elaborate on what type of cancer she is allegedly battling, or when she was diagnosed. Her comment regarding weight gain, however, led many fans to speculate (and hope) that she is in remission. Bhabie’s frustration with regards to body shaming makes sense. The rapper has had to contend with it for most of her career.

Bhad Bhabie Has Struggled With Weight Gain Historically

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

Bhad Bhabie talked about her body image, and her struggles with weight, during a 2022 Instagram post. She admitted that she has always had a difficult time putting on weight, and even compared pictures of her when she was younger to her in the present. “I’ve always been under weight no matter how much I ate I could never gain,” she told her followers. “I’ve been 80-85 pounds since I was 12. My goal weight was always 105 but I never thought I would be able to make it past 95.” Bhad Bhabie asserted that she had never been “happier” with the way her body looked.

Bhad Bhabie also admitted to fans that she had work done when she was a teenager. “Funny thing about it is I’ve had a*s shots since I was 17,” she said during the same Instagram post. “I’m just now starting to have a a*s so yes ima call my a*s natural bc it still wasn’t there till I started gaining weight.” Bhad Bhabie also became a mother at the top of the year. She told Paper Magazine that she was thrilled to have a kid, and forge a singular bond. We wish her the best in her recovery process.
