Benzino Calls Out Dr. Dre For Crowning Eminem The Best Ever: “This Is An Insult”

by

Benzino has fired back at Dr. Dre’s recent proclamation of Eminem as the “Best MC ever,” labeling the praise an “insult” to other hip-hop legends. Dre had shared the take while speaking with James Corden on his This Life Of Mine podcast. He remarked: “I think he’s [Eminem] the best MC ever. Point blank, period. Of course, there are gonna be arguments with that because he’s a white guy…I don’t think anyone that’s rapping can touch Eminem on that microphone.”

After seeing the quote, Benzino, Eminem’s longtime rival, fired back on social media: “You know I think Dr Dre is one of the greatest producers of all time, and notice I didn’t say Hip Hop producers, but this is an insult to [Ice] Cube, [MC] REN, Snoop [Dogg], [The] Doc and every other rapper who wrote all those hits. I mean this is his opinion and I respect it but cmon Dre. [palm on face emoji].”

It’s far from the first time Benzino has complained about public praise for Eminem. While the two have been feuding for years, he recently broke down into tears while discussing his beef with the legendary Detroit rapper during an episode of Drink Champs. “My daughter came into the industry figuring ‘I gotta be cool with Eminem because everybody is against my dad’ … I don’t hate Eminem, I don’t know him to hate him,” he said at the time. “I don’t hate white people. I’m tired of this s**t, man. It’s just too much. I don’t want to be the bad guy.” Check out his latest comments below.

Benzino Slams Dr. Dre For His Eminem Take

Dre’s praise for Eminem comes as the Detroit rapper plans to attend Dre’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony, this week. Elsewhere in the interview with Corden, he recalled how the two met. Be on the lookout for further updates on Benzino and Eminem on HotNewHipHop.

Dr. Dre Reveals He Suffered 3 Strokes While Hospitalized For Brain Aneurysm

by

Dr. Dre says he suffered three strokes while in the hospital to treat his brain aneurysm back in 2021. He recounted the experience while appearing on SiriusXM’s This Life of Mine with James Corden, last week.

“It’s just something that you can’t control that just happens, and during those two weeks, I had three strokes,” Dre told Corden. “I got up, and I went on about my day, and I thought that I could just lay down and take a nap.” He added that one of his son’s friends suggested they go to the hospital. “So they took me to urgent care,” Dre said. “Next thing you know, I’m blacking out. I’m in and out of consciousness, and I ended up in the ICU. I was there for two weeks. I’m hearing the doctors coming in and saying, ‘You don’t know how lucky you are.’”

As for how he could’ve prevented the aneurysm, Dre says doctors couldn’t provide any help. “Nobody could give me an answer,” he said. “I had no idea that I had high blood pressure or anything like that. I’m lifting weights, I’m running, I’m doing everything I can to keep myself healthy. High blood pressure in Black men, that’s just what it is. They call it the silent killer. You just have no idea.” He finished that suggesting that the experience “definitely makes you appreciate being alive, that’s for sure … It’s crazy, so now knowing that I had no control over that. It’s just something that could happen out of the blue.”

In the time since the hospitalization, Dre has headlined the Super Bowl Halftime Show. He also recently teamed up with Snoop Dogg to release a line of cocktails called “Gin and Juice.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Dr. Dre on HotNewHipHop.

Dr. Dre Reveals He Suffered Three Strokes Following 2021 Brain Aneurysm

by

Back in 2021, Dr. Dre woke up with “the worst pain” behind one of his ears, which he admits he initially brushed off. As his day went on, however, his son and a friend urged him to seek medical attention. Eventually, he went to the hospital, where he was told that his condition was “serious.” During a recent appearance on SiriusXM’s This Life of Mine with James Corden, the Grammy-winner reflected on the frightening experience of learning that he had suffered a brain aneurysm. He also revealed that during his hospitalization, he suffered three strokes.

“I got up and went about my day, and I thought I could lay down and take a nap,” he explained. “My son and a female friend were like ‘No, we need to take you to the hospital. Next thing you know, I’m blacking out, I’m in and out of consciousness and I end up in the ICU. I was there for two weeks. I’m hearing doctors come in, ‘You don’t know how lucky you are.’ I asked questions about what I could’ve done to prevent this.”

“Nobody could give me an answer,” Dr. Dre continued. “I had no idea that I had high blood pressure or anything like that because I’m on my health sh*t. I’m lifting weights, I’m running, I’m doing everything I can to keep myself healthy.” He added that he isn’t sure whether or not the experience made a “significant change” to his life. He does say, however, that a scare like that “definitely makes you appreciate being alive.”

“It’s cr*zy, so now knowing that I had no control over that. It’s just something that could happen out of the blue,” he described. “You wake up and you go, ‘Sh*t. OK, I’m here.’” What do you think of Dr. Dre revealing that he suffered three strokes following his 2021 brain aneurysm? Are you glad the hitmaker is doing better these days?

Dr. Dre revealed that he suffered three strokes in 2021, following his brain aneurysm, during a recent interview appearance on James Corden’s SiriusXM show, This Life Of Mine.

“It definitely makes you appreciate being alive, that’s for sure,” Dr. Dre said, according to Rolling Stone. “It’s something you can’t control, it just happens. During those two weeks, I had three strokes.”

“I got up and went about my day, and I thought I could lay down and take a nap,” he added. “My son and a female friend were like ‘No, we need to take you to the hospital. Next thing you know, I’m blacking out, I’m in and out of consciousness and I end up in the ICU. I was there for two weeks. I’m hearing doctors come in, ‘You don’t know how lucky you are.’ I asked questions about what I could’ve done to prevent this. No one could give me an answer.”

The rapper and mogul has been vocal about his near-death experience since it happened. In 2022, he spoke about how he was admitted to Cedars Sinai Hospital and his family couldn’t visit him because of COVID precautions. The hospital also called them instead, in case he didn’t make it and they wanted to say goodbyes.

Thankfully, Dr. Dre is still here and seems to be in a better and healthier place now.

Harry Styles Fan Faints After Fist Bump: Watch

by

Harry Styles hasn’t been in the spotlight as much recently for his music. In fact, he’s been in the headlines more for things that have very little to do with him than things that do. During the first weekend of Coachella, Bad Bunny, or rather his team, seems to have started a war with Harry Styles fans. During the performance, the screen behind the singer was displaying various pictures and tweets, many of them from fans. Unfortunately for Bad Bunny, this included one tweet that threw shade at Harry. It read, “Good night, Benito could do ‘As It Was’, but Harry could never do ‘El Apagon’.” Of course, Harry fans took this and ran with is, as they often do, leading to a firestorm. Bad Bunny apologized, and nothing was ever heard about it from Harry’s camp.

Harry has also been in the headlines for his recent dating excursions. The pop star may be in a situationship with Emily Ratajkowski. The two were allegedly seen kissing in a video, though Harry’s face is not shown. In an interview on the podcast Going Mental With Eileen Kelly, Ratajkowski spoke about a new man in her life. She may not be naming names, but anyone who has been paying attention knows that she is referring to Harry. Interestingly, both Ratajkowski and Styles have been romantically linked with others recently. Still, the chemistry in the steamy clip is palpable. It seems like Harry has that effect on a lot of people – including his fans.

Harry Fans Can’t Hang

Harry Styles may be making Emily Ratajkowski swoon with their steamy makeup sessions, but he’s giving his fans similar reactions just by looking at them. The pop star recently appeared on the final episode of James Corden’s talk show, The Late Late Show. During the farewell episode, Harry Styles became the subject of headlines when a fan fainted, seemingly due to his simple gesture. As he made his entrance, the singer greeted the cheering fans. With one fan, he opted for a fist bump instead of a handshake. While Harry continued toward the stage, the fan collapsed. Fortunately, she quickly recovered and was back on her feet a few minutes later when Will Ferrell took the stage. Footage of the incident showed the singer’s introduction and the fan’s reaction.

The fan, named Cyndi, took to social media to talk about the event afterward. “THIS WAS ME AND I DID NOT FAINT,” she wrote. “I simply gracefully melted into my seat after the man locked eyes w me.” Regardless of whether or not she actually fainted, it was still quite an entertaining reaction. What do you think of Harry’s interaction with his fan? Let us know in the comments!

Adele Returns For Final “Carpool Karaoke”

by

James Corden is a television host that you either love or hate. Regardless, you cannot deny that he has been immensely successful. He has helmed The Late Late Show since 2015, turning into a cultural behemoth with segments such as “Carpool Karaoke” and “Spill Your Guts”. He was also one of the first late-night shows to find success posting content to YouTube, following in the vein of Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show. The Late Late Show YouTube channel has had over 10 billion views and has over 27 million subscribers.

However, in 2022, it was announced that Corden would be leaving The Late Late Show in 2023. Furthermore, the show would not be finding a new host and instead, end its current run. The final edition of the show is scheduled to air at 12:30am EDT on April 27. That meant that show’s final week was expected to be the one that started to wrap things up, so that the final show could be a blowout finale.

Adele And Corden Swap Stories And Shed Tears

Carpool Karaoke has been a staple of the show for many years. Corden, or sometimes a special guest, drives around alongside a musical guest and belts out some tunes. There have been many, many famous faces in the segment over the years. However, British singer Adele is perhaps the most memorable appearance. She was the first guest on the segment and her appearance has since racked up 216 million views on YouTube.

Fittingly, Adele reunited with Corden for the segment’s last appearance on April 24. In a 21-minute segment on the show, the two joke about and share stories as they “drive James to work.” They also reflect on James’ legacy and experience with The Late Late Show before breaking out into song, as the tradition. Tears are shed and laughs shared as Corden and Adele share in the last edition of the segment they helped kickstart. It’s unknown what Corden’s next move will be. However, The Late Late Show will be replaced with a reboot of the panel show @midnight. The @midnight reboot is being produced by Funny or Die and Stephen Colbert. Are you sad about James Corden leaving?

Adele’s ‘Carpool Karaoke’ Genuinely Surprised James Corden, Who Thought Another Artist Would Be The Final Guest

by

We are now officially in the final week of The Late Late Show With James Corden. The departing host is making the last days of the show eventful, like with the emotional final “Carpool Karaoke” segment featuring Adele. An installment with Diddy aired days before that, and Corden says he thought that would be the final drive before Adele surprised him.

Corden was a guest on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last night (April 24) and he explained:

“I didn’t know it was happening. I thought our last one was… the last one was with Diddy. We shot that and I had a blast, had a great time, it was brilliant. And I thought, ‘Oh, that’s our last one, he’s someone we always wanted to do, it was great.’ And then I’m in bed one day and I get woken up by Adele smashing these cymbals above me as I’m asleep, and she said, ‘It’s your last ‘Carpool’ and I’m going to drive you to work.’

So it was all very… it was amazing and I love her so much for doing it because she didn’t have to do that. And she’s been… you know, I think it’s evident if anybody’s seen it that we’ve… we moved here a week apart, basically, we moved to LA a week apart, and it’s been an incredible journey for both of our families and I’ll always… I can’t believe she did that for me.”

James Corden Reminisced About When ‘No One Would Do’ ‘Carpool Karaoke’ In The Early Days Of ‘The Late Late Show’

by

Music superstars like Bad Bunny, Harry Styles, and Nicki Minaj, to name a few, all have had memorable appearances on The Late Late Show’s hilarious segment “Carpool Karaoke.” However, during the latest episode featuring Adele, host James Corden admitted that there was a time when no one would do the show, so he and the team scrambled to book talent.

This wasn’t the case for Adele, as the two are dear friends. The “Hello” singer was an early supporter of the show in 2016. When asked by the singer what he was the most afraid of when he decided to take the job, Corden confessed, “The thing I was most worried about was, ‘How do we get guests on the show.’”

“[In the beginning] we couldn’t book anyone. Then [segments] like ‘Carpool’ — I mean, no one would do it. Everyone on planet Earth said no. But then suddenly, Mariah Carey said, ‘Yes.’ So we’re buzzing, and she goes, ‘We’ll do it on Saturday.’” When the day finally arrived, Corden revealed that the “Shake It Off” singer told him that she would, ‘Do the chat, but I ain’t singing,’” because she had a long night the day before.

“My [producer] tells me, ‘Dude, you just have to get her to sing,’” said Corden. Eventually, Corden charmed the highly decorated songwriter to belt out some of her timeless tunes.

As for which episodes meant the most to him, Corden answered, “Stevie Wonder changed the [segment] a lot because when he did it, other artists were like, ‘Well, if Stevie Wonder’s done it, then I’ll do it.’” That episode was special to the host for another reason. During the ride, Wonder telephoned Corden’s wife Julia, nicknamed Jules, to sing to her.

The television host was sure to add that his first episode with the “Rolling In The Deep” singer also significantly impacted the show. “Our [first episode] because it broke all those records, I think seeing how many people watched that made artists like Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, and people like that go, ‘Absolutely, I’ll do this.”
