Brother Bilaal Doubles Down On Explosive Claims On Will Smith And Duane Martin, Says He Has Evidence

December 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In a follow up statement, Brother Bilaal is doubling down on his initial claims. Brother Bilaal, the former assistant and friend of Will Smith, has doubled down on his explosive claims involving mega-stars Will Smith and Duane Martin. In an exclusive interview with gossip blogger Tasha K, Brother Bilaal opened up about the alleged scandal that has taken the entertainment industry by storm. He asserted in November that Will Smith and Duane Martin had sex. “The reason Will and Jada responded, they know its true,” Brother Bilaal said on the platform with Tasha K. “They responded in less than 9 hours. He knows what I saw in that dressing room. Jada listen, in 2 weeks, if you don’t sue me in two weeks, if Tasha K will have me, I’m back here and I’m dropping evidence.”

Brother Bilaal proceeded to call Jada’s bluff and encouraged her to sue him. He claims that he has evidence and that if she doesn’t take action against him, he’s going to reveal it. “You said I extorted you, you said it was a money shakedown,” he said, referring to Jada’s comments on Breakfast Club. “Let’s get into a little more of it. Jada, you a bald head liar and a drug addict. You told the world you were gonna sue me.” Despite vehement denials from both Will Smith and Jada, claiming that Bilaal just wants money, he remains confident in his allegations. He says he’s driven by a commitment to revealing the truth, allegedly.

The controversial remarks were first made in November, as HotNewHipHop previously reported. “I opened the door to Duane’s dressing room, and that’s when I see Duane having a*al s*x with Will,” Brother Bilaal disclosed in the interview. “There was a couch, and Will was bent over the couch, and Duane was standing up killing him, murdering him. It was murder in there.” These graphic allegations have not only ignited a firestorm of controversy but have also thrust Brother Bilaal into the spotlight. However, social media has come to Will’s defense. “Rather it’s true or not we love Will. Thank you next,” one person commented.

While the sensational nature of the claims has led to skepticism in some quarters, the interview shed light on Brother Bilaal’s unwavering conviction. “Whew, that’s messed up. I wish people would leave Will & Jada alone,” another person wrote. “And???? Was anyone hurt ?? What’s his point sharing these Grown people business??? Is it gone take money out their pockets?? Will it take movie roles from Will?? It probably get him more roles in Hollyweird,” another said. As the controversy escalates, Brother Bilaal’s boldness has sparked criticism.

Rick Ross Calls Out Jada Pinkett Smith Over 2Pac Revelation: “Let Him Rest”

December 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In a recent BET Talks interview, Rick Ross didn’t hold back. He addressed Jada Pinkett Smith’s recent comments about 2Pac’s battle with Alopecia, a condition she also shares. Ricky Rozay himself humorously put Smith on blast, emphasizing the need to let the rap legend rest in peace. Ross, while expressing his frustration with a touch of humor, struggled with the pronunciation of “Alopecia.” He made light of the situation by continuing his remarks: “At the end of the day, come on man, come on Jada. Let 2Pac rest in peace. Appaleesha — what did she say he got?”

Upon a correction from the host, Ross continued with a light-hearted tone, “Tell me what this is? But we ain’t need to know that. Dawg a legend. He been dead 30 years. Apaleesha? Alopecia.” In addition to his humorous take on the situation, the MMG mogul offered his own suggestion for Smith’s revelations, saying, “She should’ve told us a Will [Smith] story. Talk about your husband, baby. You married him. Tell us how you fell walking down the carpet one time and we ain’t know you ain’t have on no panties or something.”

Rick Ross

Ross’s comments reflect a sentiment shared by many fans and fellow artists who believe that certain details about 2Pac’s personal life should be left in the past to honor his legacy. As the debate around the appropriate boundaries of discussing departed icons continues, Rick Ross adds his voice to those advocating for preserving the memory of the legendary rapper without unnecessary details. Moreover this isn’t the first time he’s said something about wanting Jada to remain quiet.

In an interview last month with Rolling Stone, the rapper didn’t hold back. He expressed sentiments about Jada’s book tour, and how he disapproved. “I don’t think I agree with Jada Pinkett,” he said. “To me, she’s psychologically lost and needs some counseling. Jesus! What are you going to tell us next? When you tell us you haven’t been together in six years, you haven’t had sex in this many years, you don’t have a prenuptial agreement — OK, what’s next?” Do you agree with Rick Ross on this subject? Let us know on HNHH!

Jada Pinkett Smith Says ‘Holy Slap’ at Oscars Saved Her Marriage to Will Smith

December 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jada Pinkett Smith Admits the Quarantine is Testing her Marriage

Jada Pinkett Smith states that Will Smith’s Oscar slap saved her marriage. In a conversation with Daily Mail, Pinkett Smith said Will’s actions made her realize she would “never leave him.”

“That moment of the shit hitting the fan is when you see where you really are,” Jada said. “After all those years trying to figure out if I would leave Will’s side, it took that slap for me to see I will never leave him. Who knows where our relationship would be if that hadn’t happened?”

She revealed that the slap now carries the nickname of the “holy slap” to her.

Speaking with Drew Barrymore on her daytime talk show, Pinkett Smith said, “We’re staying together forever.”

“I think that one of those next stages in relationships is when you really learn how to accept yourself fully, you really learn how to accept your partner fully as well,” Jada said, according to Decider. “That’s been a journey all in itself.”

Two months ago, Will Smith surprised Jada Pinkett Smith on her book tour stop in Baltimore. The event was at the Enoch Pratt Free Libary, where the Baltimore Sun delivered details of what was said.

“I just really wanted to come out and just be here and hold it down for you the way you have held it down for me,” Smith said. “We have had a very, very long and tumultuous [relationship]. We call it ‘brutiful.’ It was brutal and beautiful at the same time.”

Will Smith has an official quote regarding various reveals from Jada Pinkett Smith across the media last week. The New York Times quoted the A-list actor in another interview with his wife.

“When you’ve been with someone for more than half of your life, a sort of emotional blindness sets in, and you can all too easily lose your sensitivity to their hidden nuances and subtle beauties,” Smith said.

Smith added a letter to another appearance of an estranged wife, which will be on the On Purpose podcast hosted by Jay Shetty.

“I applaud and honor you. If I had read this book 30 years ago, I definitely would’ve hugged you more,” Smith wrote. “I’ll start now. Welcome to the Authors Club. I love you endlessly. Now go get some Merlot and take a rest.”

Jada Pinkett Smith Admits Will Smith’s Oscars Slap Saved Their Marriage

December 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jada Pinkett Smith says that Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars ceremony saved their marriage. Speaking with the Daily Mail for an interview published on Saturday, she admitted that she calls the incident the “holy slap” “because so many positive things came after it.”

“After all those years trying to figure out if I would leave Will’s side, it took that slap for me to see I will never leave him,” she told the outlet. “Who knows where our relationship would be if that hadn’t happened?”

It’s not the first time that Jada has reflected positively on the Oscars slap. Appearing on CBS Mornings, last month, she recalled: “I might not have walked in there as his wife, but I left that night as his wife. And as I sit here today, I am going to be by his side always.” The comments came after Jada previously revealed the bombshell that she and Will separated back in 2016. Explaining that decision to CBS, she further said: “I needed time for emotional maturity. First of all, I was in a deep healing process, and I think I needed to really dissolve some false ideas of what marriage is, false ideas of what I thought Will needed to be for me, versus what I needed to learn to be for myself in order to have a loving relationship.”

Jada’s interview with the Daily Mail comes after the release of her new memoir, Worthy. She’s been promoting the candid book in interviews for weeks. Be on the lookout for further updates on Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith’s marriage on HotNewHipHop.

November 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jada Pinkett Smith has responded to critics of her new memoir, Worthy.

I don’t wanna give them another dime for her emasculating and embarrassing him to everybody in the world.”

“Well, I think if she took time to read the book, you know? I think that, if you wanna just read headlines, I could see how that could be confusing,” Jada said in response. “But the book is right here.” She added that everyone has “a right to their opinions” and claimed “anybody who’s saying that hasn’t really done their homework.”

Rick Ross Shares Thoughts On Jada Pinkett Smith And Her Memior: “Come On Jada, Chill Out Baby”

November 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Rick Ross is making headlines with his candid opinions on actress Jada Pinkett Smith and her newly released memoir, Worthy. In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, the rapper didn’t hold back, expressing his strong sentiments about Jada’s book tour and the personal revelations it contained. Jada’s memoir delved into the intricate details of her life and her relationship with husband Will Smith. The book left no stone unturned, offering an intimate look at the ups and downs of their marriage. Rick Ross had previously voiced his disapproval, particularly concerning how Jada openly discussed her and Will’s private matters, causing him to reevaluate his own perspective on marriage.

In his recent interview with Rolling Stone, Rick Ross did not mince words when asked about Jada’s book tour. Rozay made his opinion clear when he said he doesn’t agree with Jada. He also said that she felt she was out of touch. “I don’t think I agree with Jada Pinkett,” he said. “To me, she’s psychologically lost and needs some counseling. Jesus! What are you going to tell us next? When you tell us you haven’t been together in six years, you haven’t had sex in this many years, you don’t have a prenuptial agreement — OK, what’s next?”

Furthermore, he continued by expressing that “I heard the book flopped because she already told us everything. No one cares. That’s what they don’t understand. Sometimes as celebrities, you can get out of touch. Will Smith isn’t the same Will Smith as he was 20 years ago. Jada Pinkett, chill out, baby!” Ross then proceeded to say that the public is not interested in further stories. “You were in the movie Set It Off, and that’s all we know you from. You got $15K for that role and that’s it. Calm down. You f**cked your son’s best friend. You said your son introduced you to psychedelics. What’s next?! And to be honest, we’re not interested! I don’t want to know if Tupac got alopecia! Jada, Rozay still got love for you, but go sit down.”

Rick Ross’ unfiltered comments reflect the divergent opinions surrounding Jada Pinkett Smith’s memoir and her candid revelations about her marriage. While some applaud her transparency, others, like Rick Ross, have reservations about it. Mostly due to the debate of the extent to which such personal matters should be shared with the public. Regardless of one’s perspective, it’s clear that Jada’s book has sparked discussions and raised questions about the boundaries between personal and public life in the realm of celebrity.
