Lil Durk Allegedly Tried To Escape To Italy Before Arrest

October 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

News of federal authorities’ arrest of Lil Durk for alleged murder-for-hire shocked the hip-hop world today (Friday, October 25), as fans everywhere are reacting to this development and keeping their eyes out for more updates. One new alleged detail about this situation comes from an Associated Press (AP) report about FBI agent Sarah Corcoran’s affidavit and other additional federal court records. Moreover, they allege that the Chicago MC acted quickly after authorities arrested five alleged OTF members in the city. Allegedly, he booked two flights from South Florida to Switzerland and Dubai, and additionally booked a private flight to Italy to allegedly attempt to escape the country.

However, Lil Durk was arrested before he could reportedly board that last alleged flight, and it’s unclear what the motive behind the alleged Dubai and Switzerland flights are or were. U.S. Marshals apprehended him in Florida on federal conspiracy charges alleging that he paid for a hit on Quando Rondo as revenge for the murder of King Von. The shooting that allegedly ensued from this hit in 2022 resulted in the death of Rondo’s cousin Lul Pab. According to court documents, two more arrests in the OTF crew may occur following the arrests of The Voice and of the five alleged members and culprits of the murder.

Federal agent Sarah Corcoran reportedly claimed in her affidavit that the group practices “violence, including murder and assault, at the direction of [Lil Durk] and to maintain their status in OTF.” This is what prosecutors allege led to the hit on Quando Rondo and the death of Lul Pab. On August 18, 2022, five alleged OTF affiliates allegedly flew from Chicago to San Diego, eventually making their way to Los Angeles via car.

“Don’t book no flights under no names involved wit me,” Durk allegedly texted a colleague, which prosecutors claim is because the five individuals allegedly purchased plane tickets and rental cars with funs he provided. In other Lil Durk news, rumors swirled that an OTF affiliate provided information to federal authorities via a wire. Other updates will continue to emerge in the near future, so keep checking in with HNHH for the latest updates.

Bianca Censori and Kanye West have created quite a stir since they began dating, and subsequently married. Overall, that is mostly due to the wild and revealing outfits that Censori can typically be found wearing on any given day.

However, the couple remains together, even though Censori’s family has made their concerns apparent.

A few months back, it seemed as though Ye and Censori were pariahs in Italy due to the latter’s outfits. There were various complaints from citizens, and with the couple back in LA, there was speculation as to whether or not they would ever return. According to TMZ, Censori and West are back, this time in Florence. In images that we cannot share on HotNewHipHop, the couple could be seen at a restaurant, with Censori wearing a see-through cloak.

Even though Rihanna’s fans may feel like she’s led them on in the release of new music, she clearly still has a lot of love for her followers. That was on full display during a recent trip to Italy where some fans ran into her while she was in her car. From outside the car they ask the pop star for a picture but probably never imagined what would follow. She actually opens the door to her car and motions for the group of fans to come in. Altogether they pose for some photos in a once in a lifetime fan experience.

In the comments of a post sharing the photos and a video taken by one of the fans, observers react. Some claim the fact that she was in Italy had a lot to do with it. “She would never do this in the states” one of the top comments reads. Others highlighted just how down to earth Riri feels. “Rihanna is for the people that’s where no one will ever compare” and “This is why she is the best and why she is our fav!!!” two other comments read. Check out the video and pictures taken from the interaction below.

Earlier this month, ASAP Rocky confirmed that Rihanna is working on a new album. It’s the kind of rumor that fans have heard numerous times over the past few years. Her last album Anti dropped all the way back in 2016. May thought that her Super Bowl Halftime Show performance last year may have been the moment for her to share new music. Instead she took the opportunity to debut her new pregnancy.

She eventually gave birth to Riot, her second child with ASAP Rocky last year. He released a song named after the new baby around the time of his birth. What do you think of Rihanna letting fans into her car to take pictures together? Do you think it was safe for her to do? Let us know in the comment section below.

Rich The Kid Sings “Carnival” With Fans In Italy After “Vultures” Event

February 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rich The Kid sang along to his song, “Carnival,” with fans in Italy after a Vultures event. The moment was caught on video and is circulating on social media. The song is included on the tracklist to Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign’s new collaborative album, Vultures 1. It also features Playboi Carti.

Many fans reflected on the success of the track when Our Generation Music shared the clip on Instagram, on Saturday. “People really have the nerve to say he’s ‘milking the song’ as if it’s not the biggest song in the world rn,” one user wrote. Another noted: “Bro it’s crazy cuz they sound like the sample in the track.”

Despite the success of Vultures 1, its release has come with plenty of controversy. It’s been removed from streaming services on multiple occasions due to issues with the original distributor, FUGA, as well as disputes with both Donna Summer and Ozzy Osbourne over clearing samples. Rich addressed those issues in a tweet after the release of the project. “They removed us twice,” he wrote. “Still the biggest song in the world already #4 let’s go back #1 I appreciate everyone & all support.” The project once again disappeared from Apple Music on Saturday. Check out Rich The Kid’s performance in Italy below.

Bianca Censori Debuts Bold Hairstyle And Films Kanye West Adoringly At “Vultures” Listening Event In Italy

February 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bianca Censori and Kanye West have become a power couple of sorts as of late. Overall, the two have been married for about a year. Moreover, they have gone on numerous adventures together and constantly seem to be joined at the hip. For instance, they were recently together in Italy as Kanye and Ty Dolla $ign were hosting a Vultures listening event. This listening event was done with the purpose of showing off tracks from the second and third volumes. As you can imagine, it was yet another success.

That said, Censori certainly made waves at the event thanks to her haircut and outfit. In the video below, acquired by TMZ, you can see that she has ditched her previous hairdo for something a bit more unique. The model has bangs that are paired with a short bob. It is reminiscent of what Uma Thurman had in the movie Pulp Fiction. Meanwhile, she could be seen filming from the crowd, and she did so adoringly and with lots of pride.

At this point, there is no telling which songs we will be getting on the ensuing Vultures volumes. Ye has played a ton of songs at these events, but he tends to cut things or even add them at the very last minute. Having said that, some of these listening events have been an exercise in futility. Hopefully, with the Vultures 2 release date on the horizon, we get some sort of tracklist soon. The fans are very curious, and most don’t want to have to travel to Italy to get an idea on what is happening.

Let us know what you think of Bianca Censori and her new haircut, in the comments section down below. What were your favorite songs that were played at the most recent Vultures listening party? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

On October 1st, Ye hosted a private listening event for his new album inside a recording studio overseas in Italy. Via The Sun, it seems Kanye was being Kanye, stating he “yelled and appeared out-of-sorts” during the preview of his new project.

This is the first we hear of new music since his public anti-semitic comments, which drew much backlash from the Jewish community and beyond. While this would seemingly be an exciting moment to share what’s in the vault, sources say Kanye looked a bit crazy during the playback.

Ty Dolla $ign was in attendance for the festivities, with a possible feature on the new album. The two have previously collaborated multiple times, including on Ty$’s song “Ego Death,” released in 2020.

One thing that did not go unnoticed was the absence of Ye’s wife, Bianca Sensori. The two have been attached to the hip, it seems, being photographed left and right whenever they appear in public.

Regardless, day one Kanye fans can only hope that new music is on the horizon!

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign have completed a collaboration album and are now seeking a partner company to release it. According to Billboard, Ye is mulling over five offers and “will make a decision soon.”

Ye and Ty Dolla originally targeted Oct. 12 for the album but are now looking for another Q4 date. The report states that while the music is considered the best West has made since 2018, executives are concerned with his return timing amid the conflict between Israel and Hamas. Some labels have already passed on distributing the project, while one startup powerhouse, Too Lost, is believed to be a potential partner.

On Sunday, October 1st, Ye hosted a private listening event for his new album inside a recording studio overseas in Italy. Via The Sun, it seems Kanye was being Kanye, stating he “yelled and appeared out-of-sorts” during the preview of his new project.
