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 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.

Tyler, The Creator Shows Love To Fans After CHROMAKOPIA Reception

November 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tyler, The Creator is on a roll. The rapper was already considered a major talent for his first four albums, but his last four have kicked things up a notch. The production, the ambition, the experimentation. It’s all been elevated, and the fans have taken notice. CHROMAKOPIA, Tyler’s latest, has been met with glowing reviews from both fans and critics. Some have labeled it his best album to date. Tyler, The Creator has been thrilled with these reactions, and decided to give flowers back to the fans via Instagram.

The rapper hopped on social media on November 7 to share his heartwarming message. He posted a photo of a CHROMAKOPIA vinyl with a wall of white text over it. The gist of the message was that he’s struggled to mature with his art while maturing as a person, and he appreciates the fans who have been understanding of this struggle. “I’m at a different point in my life than I was when most of you met me,” he noted. “So to share these thoughts or feelings that I may/may not have lightly touched on before felt like such a release.”

Tyler, The Creator Is At A “Different Point” In Her Life

Tyler, The Creator then claimed that the responded he’s gotten to CHROMAKOPIA is unlike anything he’s ever seen before. “To see so many of you resonate with it is such a great feeling I’ve never experienced,” he concluded. “Thank you.” This is not the first time Tyler, The Creator has spoken on the topic of getting older. The rapper expanded upon the concept of maturing through music during a recent live show. That said, he has also been quick to defend some of the controversial statements he made during his earlier career.

Tyler, The Creator blasted Taylor Swift fans who were reportedly digging up old lyrics and trying to get him canceled. “[I] got Swifties all mad at me with their racist a*s, bringing up old lyrics,” he told his live show audience. “B*tch, go listen to ‘Tron Cat,’ I don’t give a f*ck.” The rapper has plans to mature, and his CHROMAKOPIA lyrics reflect this change. He still maintains a soft spot for his more rambunctious side. The maturity ultimately comes in trying to strike the proper balance. Fans of Tyler, The Creator’s new album can see this balance attempted in real time.

Drake Claims It’s “That Time” To Drop PARTYNEXTDOOR Collab Album

November 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake really needs to drop a good album. It’s not that the rapper has been dropping trash, but he’s reached a point in his career where his personal antics have overtaken his professional output. The world is more fascinated with Drake’s feelings about Kendrick Lamar. Or what DeMar DeRozan has to say after the 6 God dogged him during an NBA game. Drake needs to place the focus back on the music, and an album with PARTYNEXTDOOR is as good a bet as any. It seems like we’re getting it soon, too.

PARTYNEXTDOOR has been on tour, but the R&B singer told fans he would prioritize the album as soon as he wrapped up his last performance. It seems like he’s lived up to his promise. The singer hopped on Instagram on November 7 to teases the joint release. “Finito party people,” he wrote on IG. “Everybody, thank you, reloading…” “Reloading” is a term that PARTYNEXTDOOR has used repeatedly over the last few months. The difference here, though, is that Drake chimed in. The OVO honcho commented on the singer’s post to further drum up hype. “$$$ THAT TIME,” he wrote.

Drake Previously Alluded To A Fall Release Date

Drake didn’t elaborate, but it doesn’t take much to put together what he means. The 6 God did, after all, promise that the joint album would be dropping during the fall. “I know all you girls are outside and when it gets a little chilly,” he told a concert crowd in August. “PARTYNEXTDOOR and Drake album will be right there for you.” PARTYNEXTDOOR has kept the hype alive in recent months by dropping hints about the album’s tracklist and its status. He promised the album was “getting finished” on November 5, and he’d previously teased that there would be 15 songs.

Drake’s musical output has been frequent, but it hasn’t really been consistent in 2024. The rapper has tried his hand at everything from Mexican corridos to dancehall covers of Plain White T’s songs. It’s not been the easiest year for the 6 God since “lost” the battle to Kendrick Lamar. If he’s able to lock in with PND, however, the narrative could shift. Drake and PARTY have always had musical chemistry, and fans are hopeful that the OVO veteran could bring the best out of his boss.

DDG Defends Ex Halle Bailey After Backlash To Her Critical Tweets

November 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

November 6 was not a particularly pleasant one for Halle Bailey. The singer discovered that her ex, DDG, brought their son onto a Kai Cenat live stream. Bailey took to Twitter to voice her disappointment in DDG, and fans proceeded to pile on her. Many felt the singer was overreacting, and that her ex should be able to do what he wants. Bailey responded by wiping her social media accounts. It all spun out of control in the span of a couple of hours. Now that the dust has settled, though, DDG has criticized fans who being critical of his ex.

“I don’t like when people hate on Halle,” DDG said via IG Live. He also admitted that he should’ve taken more stock of how the situation looked. Especially since Bailey was unaware of DDG’s plan to go on a Kai Cenat stream. “When situations like this happen,” the rapper noted. “I try to handle it with as much grace as possible. Leave Halle alone.” DDG also alluded to Bailey’s comments about postpartum, which she felt compelled to share before she deleted her Twitter account. The rapper told fans that it doesn’t matter if they think she’s right or wrong, they need to mind their business.

DDG Still Has ‘Unconditional Love’ For Halle Bailey

“She could be going through something mentally,” he noted. “After having a kid, that I can’t understand as a man. We need each other to create a childhood that’s safe and fun and memorable.” He also spoke on his relationship with Halle Bailey since their split in October. Despite having romantic differences, the rapper asserted that he will always have unconditional love and respect for her. He pointed to his son as the most important thing in his life, and acknowledged that he wouldn’t be here were it not for Bailey. “People go through this time of stuff all the time,” he remarked.

DDG’s comments earned praise from fans. The rapper has widely criticized in the wake of his split from Bailey. Some have derided his decision, while others, like Joe Budden, have outright mocked his career in comparison to Bailey’s. His handling of the live stream situation, however, has won the respect of several previous detractors. Halle Bailey hasn’t commented on DDG’s video, but she did return to social media to issue an apology to her ex.

Drake Shares Heartfelt Letter From Son Adonis On Instagram Story

November 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake is a proud dad. Yes, the details surrounding his parentage got off to an auspicious start thanks to Pusha T, but he has been celebrating his son ever since. Adonis Graham has appeared on Drake’s social media posts, as well as his songs. He’s appeared court side with him at NBA games, and even made a cameo in the music video for “8AM In Charlotte.” Adonis Graham is part of the Drake brand at this point, and both Grahams recently celebrated their birthdays. It was perhaps this shared bond that spurred the 6 God to share a heartwarming message from his son.

Drake to his Instagram Story on November 7 to share insight into his life. He posted a letter that his son Adonis had written him. The letter is brief, but the sentiment, especially given Adonis’ age, is very sweet. “Thank you for giving me such a good life,” Adonis wrote. “And a good family. I love you dad.” Drake has discussed his son in song multiple times over the years. “March 14,” the closer to his 2018 double album, Scorpion, was dedicated to Adonis and their relationship. The rapper has talked fatherhood more often in recent interviews, however.

Adonis Often Compliments Drake For Being A Good Dad

Drake went on Sundae Conversation with Barstool Sports’ Caleb Pressley in 2022. He discussed what it has been like juggling parenthood with his career as a superstar. “Fatherhood,” he stated. “I just mean, in an encouraging way, like, You can always bet on fatherhood. For all the people out there, you can always bet on fatherhood.” Drake also commented on the fact that Adonis has repeatedly complimented him for being a good father. “He definitely is like always vibing out with me,” he noted. “And telling me how great I am as a father, like a single father.” This is definitely supported by the letter the rapper shared.

To further convey the bond between Aubrey Drake Graham and Adonis Graham, the latter interrupted the Sundae Conversation and requested to go to the restroom. It’s nice to see Drizzy take a step back from a seemingly ongoing feud with DeMar DeRozan to focus on family. The rapper was caught mean-mugging the NBA superstar during a recent game, which has sparked widespread debate. Some championed the rapper, others felt he was being sensitive. Which, we mean, it’s Drake. Sensitivity is build into his musical persona.

King Combs Promises “Good Energy” After Taking Over Diddy’s Instagram

November 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Combs family has been put through the ringer in 2024. Sean “Diddy” Combs has become the most reviled figure in the music industry. Kim Porter, the late mother of Diddy’s children, has had a fictional memoir published about her life. The children have tried to put on a happy face during this difficult time. King Combs is trying to remedy things on his end through social media. Diddy’s eldest son announced that he will be taking over the mogul’s Instagram in an effort to spread “good energy.”

King Combs made this announcement in the form of a video. The rapper decided to assume control of his father’s social media in an effort to cater to his remaining fans. “It’s King Combs and right now I’m taking over my pop’s Instagram,” he announced. King Combs listed off some of the content he plans on releasing, with the explicit intention of repairing Diddy’s public perception. “We gonna be posting videos, spreading good energy and taking y’all down memory lane,” the rapper noted. “All the positive things he did. So, stay tuned and watch this. Let’s go! We love you pops.”

King Combs Will Take Diddy Fans Down “Memory Lane”

King Combs has been one of Diddy’s most vocal supporters. He attended each of the Bad Boy founder’s court hearings, and reportedly took the time to read the indictment. He also tried to defend Diddy’s name by nearly getting into an altercation with Ray J. Combs and his brothers confronted R&B singer Ray J at a Halloween party in Los Angeles. Nothing physical took place, however. Ray J’s manager and Chris Brown, of all people, broke things up. “That was an unfortunate incident,” the manager asserted. “It was a great party that got ruined by little kids. Trying to fight a big boy.”

King Combs’ desire to see Diddy’s reputation restored makes sense. There are, however, legal matters that the rapper is dealing with of his own. Combs was accused of sexual assault back in April 2024. The alleged victims claims that she was assaulted by the rapper while working at one of his family’s holiday events in 2022. The lawsuit, which did not reveal the accuser’s name, also alleged sexual harassment and infliction of emotional distress. The lawsuit also names Diddy as a defendant.

King Von’s Sister Posts Heartfelt Tribute On Fourth Anniversary Of His Death

November 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

King Von’s murder devastated the music world. The rapper was one of the brightest talents to come out of the Chicago drill scene in the late 2010s. King Von and Lil Durk represented an exciting wave of artists who unnervingly authentic in their lyrics. Unfortunately, Von’s authenticity caught up with him, leading to his death in 2020. His legacy is still being celebrated today, however, thanks to his friends, fans and most notably, his family. King Von’s sister, Babyface Sky, took to social media on the fourth anniversary of his death to pay her respects.

Babyface Sky, who also raps, posted a photo of her and King Von when they were children. The image alone would have communicated the sense of loss she’s felt, but she included an emotional caption as well. She admitted that every year since 2020 has been difficult for her. She also questioned how things would have been different had King Von lived to enjoy a full and happy life. “I’ll take having you here over the fame and money any day,” she wrote. “My love for my siblings is different and genuine.” Babyface Sky also said she’s still uncertain as to how to process her tragic loss.

“Idk how to feel, I don’t know how to react,” she admitted. “All I can do is think about the good times we had.” Babyface Sky then reflected on the passing of her grandmother, and how the absence of both her and King Von have made things tough. “I be thinking about you and granny so much it’s crazy,” she said. The rapper concluded her King Von tribute by asking him to continue to “rest “keep resting.” King Von’s other sister, Kayla B, also paid tribute to the rapper via social media. She retweeted video footage of her brother fooling around in a car.

Von may be gone, but his death is still impacting artists today. It’s suspected that Lil Durk’s desire to get revenge for the rapper’s death led to an attempted hit being put on Quando Rondo. The alleged hit led to the death of Rondo’s cousin. Five men were recently indicted in relation to the death, followed shortly by Lil Durk himself. The Chicago rapper is currently being held in Broward County Jail in Florida. He’s been charged with murder-for-hire, and is awaiting trial.

[WATCH] King Combs Announces He’s Taking Over Diddy’s Instagram Page

November 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Even with the possibility of spending the rest of his life behind bars, disgraced music fashion and liquor mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs still has his sons riding for him. In what looks like the most recent post on Diddy’s IG post since the entire Combs family wished Diddy a happy 55th birthday, his son Christian has now taken control of his dad’s social media page and letting the people know that even a federal indictment won’t keep the Bad Boy name silent.

Christian, Diddy’s third born who adopted the title “king”, took to Diddy’s Instagram page to let his almost 20 million followers know that he will know be manning the ship on Diddy’s most visible social media page. Check out King Combs’ announcement HERE

There was a lot of backlash from the public for King’s social media post, which is simply captioned, “Tune in!” There were some critics, however, that saluted Christian for standing by his father amid the heinous allegations.

Nevertheless, there were scores of commenters who weren’t feeling ANYTHING coming from Diddy’s page, even if it wasn’t coming from Diddy himself.

50 Cent Insists His Frequent Instagram Trolling Isn’t Personal: ‘It’s Me Just Having Fun’

November 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent is perhaps the biggest troll in hip-hop today, especially when it comes to Instagram. He frequently uses the platform to send jabs, but he insists that even though it may ruffle some feathers, it’s primarily all in good fun.

During a recent appearance on Hot 97, Ebro asked, “How much of what we see when you trolling people on Instagram is real dislike, and how much of it is just having fun because you like trolling?” 50 responded, “I’m preconditioned from behaviors that you guys have exercised in front of me. I’ve watched you. I’m doing by version of Ebro on my Instagram. That’s it, it just not politics, it’s a little more cultural. But look, none of that is really personal. It’s me just having fun.”

Meanwhile, 50 recently revealed he turned down a $3 million offer to perform at a rally for now-president-elect Donald Trump, saying, “I’m afraid about politics. You understand? I do not like no part about them… It’s because when you do get involved in it, no matter how you feel, some one passionately disagrees with you. That’s the formula for the confusion that sent Kanye to Japan. He said something about both of those things — and now he can only go to Japan.”

Lil Tjay Blasts Kai Cenat And “Racist” Adin Ross For Exploiting Rappers

November 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Tjay is fed up. The rapper decided to stir the pot by calling out streamers Kai Cenat and Adin Ross for exploiting hip hop culture. Lil Tjay not only insulted the streamers on his Instagram Story, but proceeded to give fans additional context after him and Ross had a DM exchange. The rapper also decided to stick up for Kodak Black, following Kodak’s controversial appearance on a Cenat stream. Many fans believed that Kodak should not have been featured by the streamer, given his intoxicated appearance.

Lil Tjay started off with a very direct shot. He posted a screenshot of Kodak Black and Kai Cenat from their aforementioned stream. He also included a brutal message. “I fake hate this kid,” he wrote. “Him and [Adin] the biggest d riders in life.” It was only a matter of time before the streamers responded, and Lil Tjay made sure of this by sliding into Adin Ross’ DMs with more insults. He called the streamer a “d*ck sucker,” which prompted a confused response. “Me and Kai always show nothing but love to you,” Ross posited. “Gotta stop taking them percs that sh*t f*cking with ya head.”

Lil Tjay Labeled Adin Ross A Hip Hop “Culture Vulture”

Lil Tjay did not appreciate Ross’ response. The rapper decided to hop on Instagram Live and speaks directly to fans regarding the situation. “I told Adin he a culture vulture, he told me I’m on percs,” the rapper claimed. “I don’t take percs, don’t take drugs.” Tjay proceeded to call Ross a “racist” for his drug-related comments. “F*ckin’ racist n**ga,” he added. “I look like I take percs because I’m black, right? I know.” Lil Tjay claims that he sent Ross a voice memo detailing all the issues he has with him, then claimed that Ross refused to listen to it.

Tjay then turned the focus towards Kodak Black. “Stop looking at Yak like he a weirdo,” he asserted. “No, sometimes that’s how rappers act. In our society, that’s how we act.” He then doubled down on the claim that Adin Ross is a racist and a “culture vulture.” The bulk of Lil Tjay’s issues seem to be with Ross, given that few of his comments seem directly aimed at Kai Cenat. He also alleged that Ross uses people to get to the top, then throws them away for the next popular rapper. Ross has yet to respond to these damning remarks.
