Boosie Badazz Hosts A Gender Reveal With His Fiancée For His Ninth Child

November 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Boosie Badazz is expecting his ninth child, and he and his fiancée Rajel Nelson recently hosted a gender reveal at his birthday party this week to roll out the blue or pink carpet for their bundle of joy. This marks their first kid together, and they cheered with their loved ones as they learned that they will welcome a daughter into the world very soon. Congrats to the couple for this life milestone, and congrats to the Baton Rouge rapper for having one heck of a birthday. We’re sure that this won’t be the last we hear of this new chapter online.

Elsewhere, Rajel Nelson recently hit back at critics of her relationship with Boosie Badazz. “I get up and make my coins just like everybody else,” she said on Instagram Live. “Now if you living off your n***a, that’s your business. But don’t try to pin my life to yours. Now clock that tea. They just be so negative. These h*es wake up mad miserable with their own lives and they come and portray they s**t on my Live. I don’t understand why y’all get on my s**t and just judge me by whatever when I’m not a hateful, bitter person at all. I don’t know what the f**k be wrong with y’all, it’s delusional. But many blessings be with you. May God be with you, baby.”

Hopefully this new development gives both Boosie Badazz and Rajel Nelson plenty of space and comfort in order to deal with their more adverse and negative social media interactions. Or, in Boosie’s case, cleaning up his legal situation. He recently asked Donald Trump for a presidential pardon following his successful campaign for the election of the chief executive of the United States.

Meanwhile, Boosie Badazz is also trying to clean up his social media presence, asking T-Pain to help connect him with Mark Zuckerberg so he can fully put him back on Instagram. He’s been able to handle things with alternate accounts and the like, but there’s nothing like your main. In any case, we wish the couple the best on this parenthood journey.

Ferg Reveals That He Was Molested At A Young Age

November 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ferg recently released his new album DAROLD, and it surprised fans that solely expected his trademark aggressive trap and grandiose New York hip-hop. However, the project also held his most introspective and revealing moments to date, such as how the track “Pool” reveals that he was molested as a child at a swimming pool by an older man. “At ten I was drowned and touched when I was in the pool / All the breath left my body where I couldn’t move,” the Harlemn rapper shares on the cut. “Violated, hand on my private by a bigger dude / Seconds felt like forever, really wasn’t cool / When he seen me ’round the block, he’d smile and laugh / As if we had a little secret, and I hated that / Thinking ’bout what he did really made me mad / Even thought about murder, wanted to kill his a**.”

Later on in the verse, Ferg raps about how he told his cousin about this harrowing incident, but how he just made a joke about it one time. The “Demons” MC also opens up about how people called him and his friends “gay” because they were into design, and how both these factors contributed to a toxic sense of masculinity that he’s now trying to shed.

DAROLD‘s “Pool”

In addition, Ferg spoke about his experience during a recent interview on The Breakfast Club. “It was an incident that happened in a pool when I was a young kid and everybody’s around and everything like that,” he remarked to the radio hosts. “For me, it was weird and it was one second, but I was like, why?” The 36-year-old said that someone “way older than [him]” “touched” or “groped” him when he was around nine or ten years old, and that he originally spoke to his cousin because bottling it up made him feel “weird.”

Also, Ferg revealed that he told his mother about it years later after going to the Precious film’s premiere in 2009. Childhood abuse victims shared their experiences at the end of the screening. On The Breakfast Club, he also shared that “Pool” took him eight years to write, and stressed the importance of sharing one’s story. “Everywhere, I feel like this s**t is going on and people are not just going to talk about it,” the multi-hyphenate stated. “I’m like, ‘What am I talking about?’ I didn’t make that happen to me. That s**t ain’t mine to be trying to hold inside.”

Joe Biden Promises Donald Trump A “Smooth Transition” In White House Meeting

November 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Joe Biden met with Donald Trump at the White House on Wednesday, promising the incumbent president a “smooth transition” of power when he takes over the Oval Office in January. In a video from their meeting, the two appeared cordial while discussing the situation. “We’re looking forward to having, like we said, a smooth transition, do everything we can to make sure you’re accommodated, what you need,” Biden said. “Welcome, welcome back.”

Trump responded to his opponent from 2020: “Politics is tough, and it’s many cases not a very nice world, but it is a nice world today, and I appreciate very much a transition that’s so smooth it’ll be as smooth as it can get, and I very much appreciate that, Joe.” White House spokesperson Karine Jean-Pierre later confirmed to Reuters that the two spoke for roughly two hours. “It was a substantive meeting,” she told reporters. “They discussed important national security and domestic policy issues facing the nation and the world.”

As for the topic of the rest of their conversation, Trump told the New York Post they “talked very much about the Middle East,” adding that he “wanted to know his views on where we are. And he gave them to me, he was very gracious.” Biden originally beat Trump in the 2020 election, but afterward, Trump didn’t invite Biden for a meeting at the White House, as had been tradition. As for why Biden didn’t take the same path, Jean-Pierre explained: “He believes in the norms, he believes in our institution, he believes in the peaceful transfer of power.”

Joe Biden Promises Peaceful Transition Of Power

The meeting comes after Trump defeated Biden’s vice president, Kamala Harris, during the 2024 presidential election. Harris replaced him on the ticket after he dropped out of the race, earlier this year. Check out a portion of Joe Biden and Donald Trump’s meeting below.

Charli XCX Stars In A New Campaign As The Face Of Luxury Streetwear Brand Acne Studios

November 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Brat summer might be over, but Charli XCX is the gift that keeps on giving. Just this season, Charli dropped the star-studded Brat remix album,brat and it’s completely different but also still brat (see the Billie Eilish-assisted “Guess” remix, produced by indie sleaze icon The Dare), announced a link-up and starring role in director Pete Ohs Erupcja, joined the cast of Romain Gavras’ Sacrifice, snagged nine Grammy nominations (including Album of the Year), and is now starring in a new campaign from Stockholm, Sweden-based brand Acne Studios with a photoshoot shot by renowned New York photographer Talia Chetrit.

The world can’t seem to get enough. We’re psyched not just because we’re massive Charli fans, but we love collaborations that make sense and Acne Studios, with its high-fashion meets streetwear aesthetic, is oozing with brat vibes.

The new collection mostly focuses on shoulder bags and baggy-fit jeans but also dips into accessories like padlock chain necklaces, metal frame sunglasses, as other staples like skirts, heels, and iridescent mini dresses. Just about everything from the collection looks straight out of a Charli XCX video, with the exception of the scarfs, which are way more demure than anything associated with this era of Charli.

Check out the full collection here and check out some of the lookbook photos below.

Oprah Winfrey Shuts Down Rumor Kamala Harris Paid Her $1 Million For Endorsement

November 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Oprah Winfrey has shut down the rumors that Kamala Harris offered her $1 million to endorse her in the 2024 presidential election. Taking to Instagram, this week, the longtime supporter of the Democratic party explained her decision to support Harris and how it came about.

“Thank you so much for saying this,” she wrote in response to a fan taking her side. “I want to high five you and give you a hug. Usually I am reluctant to respond to rumors in general, but these days I realize that if you don’t stop a lie, it just gets bigger. I was not paid a dime. My time and energy was my way of supporting the campaign. For the live-streaming event in September, my production company Harpo was asked to bring in set design, lights, cameras, microphones, crew, producers, and every other item necessary (including the benches and chairs we sat on) to put on a live production. I did not take any personal fee. However the people who worked on that production needed to be paid. And were. End of story.”

The rumors about bribing Oprah come amid reports that the Harris campaign spent over $1 billion in its loss to Donald Trump. Two sources for Politico’s Christopher Cadelago recently claimed the campaign is at least $20 million in debt as well.

Oprah Winfrey Endorses Kamala Harris

Harris conceded the election to Trump after losing every swing state. It’s unclear if she intends to compete again in 2028, when she’ll likely have to campaign against Pete Buttigieg, Gavin Newsom, Josh Shapiro, JB Pritzker, and more in a primary. Check out Oprah Winfrey’s full response to the rumors about her Kamala Harris endorsement below.

GloRilla Responds After Being Accused Of Getting A BBL

November 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

GloRilla is never shy about sharing her physical transformations and body developments, such as showing off her natural hair on social media recently. But some statements and accusations fall under more scrutiny from fans, and it’s this case, it’s not for the reasons you might expect. Moreover, she recently posted a picture of her outfit on a night out on Twitter and captioned it with the following claim: “Everybody thought I had a bbl last night [three facepalm emojis].” However, some fans in the comments section under the Instagram post below posited that these BBL rumors were never that strong to begin with, whereas others think that the Memphis femcee absolutely got body modifications.

Regardless of what the truth is, it’s clear that these allegations are more relevant or pushed in the narratives by people who fit with a certain body standard and image, not someone as thin as GloRilla. This carries its own set of issues that warrant a conversation, but this writer is not the one who should be leading those. Nevertheless, it certainly wouldn’t be the most talked-about Glo topic this year when it comes to her physique. She recently fueled pregnancy rumors with some baby bump pictures, although many fans suspect that this is just not-so-subtle social media promotion or something like that.

In fact, this pregnancy allegation is something that GloRilla’s even talked about in her music, seemingly referring to an abortion on her debut studio album GLORIOUS. As such, there are a few mixed signals and possible interpretations here that fans took more seriously than even she might have expected. Alas, we still don’t have a super concrete answer for any of this (as obvious as the rumors’ misdirection may be), so we’ll see if the near future holds any more answers.

Meanwhile, GloRilla was one of many hip-hop artists who got a Grammy nomination this year, and she was very excited to hear about it. “S/O to God my team & y’all. not to be cocky but shiiidddd S/O to MEEEE!! 3x Grammy nominated artist thank yall so much,” she tweeted. We’ll see how the awards shape up soon enough!

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.

YBN Nahmir Relentlessly Clowned After Announcing Child With Infamous Groupie Celina Powell

November 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

YBN Nahmir recently had a pretty harrowing health scare earlier this year, so it’s nice to see him pop up for more positive and heartening reasons. However, even news of upcoming childbirth isn’t happy enough to stop people’s roasting. Moreover, he announced along with his current partner Celina Powell that they’re expecting a child, sharing some pictures on Instagram to celebrate. Fans’ reactions were pretty mocking, considering how the rapper doesn’t have the best public favor right now and Powell is infamous for being with a whole lot of rappers and famous people. Check out the comments of the IG post below to see what we mean.

“This worse than the cheese touch,” one fan ruthlessly wrote of YBN Nahmir and Celina Powell’s announcement. “Ngl this the biggest L of bros career,” another posited, and here’s a less flattering alternative: “Like kissing a public bathroom toilet.” Still, other fans know that he hasn’t had good news this year, and they recognize that the best thing for their mental health is to show your casual support for something that has nothing to do with your personal life. “Sometimes you gotta ‘as long as you happy’ a n***a,” one user commented under the IG post below.

Ironically enough, before this YBN Nahmir announcement, Celina Powell spoke on deleting her OnlyFans account when she eventually gets pregnant. Looks like the time is now. She made those comments on the Aunt Tea podcast with Karlissa Saffold, Tia Kemp, and Tokyo Toni, who roasted Powell when she spoke on having a child. “You’re not going to get pregnant,” Toni exclaimed. “No. Don’t bring no baby to this world, f***ed up like you are. Get some help! You’re f***ed up. I think you’re trashy, filthy, nasty, and dirty.”

All the ladies laughed about it, though, so maybe they didn’t take this as seriously as other fans did. Still, now that YBN Nahmir and Celina Powell are having a baby, it seems like they might have to revisit that conversation. That Aunt Tea podcast also held a lot of other NSFW revelations, and the timing certainly doesn’t help mitigate these roasts. In any case, congrats to the couple!

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.”

Donald Trump Vows To Terminate Gender-Affirming Care When He Takes Office

November 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Following a victorious campaign for a second term, convicted United States president-elect Donald Trump is starting to outline his plans for his first few days in office next January. One of his main missions is to terminate gender-affirming healthcare for transgender youth and the U.S. citizenry at large, which he explained via a new video. The 47th president of the nation promised to end all federal programs promoting concepts of sex and gender transition at any age, and also brought up his planned outlawing of surgeries, puberty blockers, and more procedures when it comes to underage individuals.

“Here’s my plan to stop the chemical, physical, and emotional mutilation of our youth,” Donald Trump recently expressed. “On day one, I will revoke Joe Biden’s cruel policies on so-called gender-affirming care. Ridiculous. A process that involves giving kids puberty blockers, mutating their physical appearance, and ultimately performing surgery on minor children. Can you believe this? I will sign a new executive order instructing every federal agency to cease all programs that promote the concept of sex and gender transition at any age.”

Donald Trump’s War Against Gender-Affirming Care

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

In addition, Donald Trump also plans to request that Congress block taxpayer dollars from being used to further these procedures, along with a law prohibiting the “sexual mutilation” of a child in all 50 states. Also, he announced his desire to terminate hospitals or healthcare providers from Medicaid and Medicare if they participate in gender-affirming care. The near-assassinated public official (which fortunately did not happen) added a plan to create a private right of action through which individuals can sue doctors who provided gender-affirming care to minors. He claimed the Department of Justice will investigate big pharma and hospital networks to determine if they covered up side effects of transition processes for profit.

Other elements of Donald Trump’s plans concerning gender-affirming care include investigations into alleged and potential hormone and puberty blocker trafficking, policing affirmations of transgender identity in state and school districts, the promotion of positive nuclear families and strictly unique gender roles, passing a bill in Congress declaring the only recognized genders by the United States government to be male and female (assigned at birth), and the notion that a child cannot assume a new gender or identity without their parents’ consent. Sadly, this plan falls into the exact misconceptions, polarizations, bigotries, generalizations, misunderstandings, and over-reaching violations of personal rights and freedoms that led this administration and ideology into a second term.
