Kodak Black’s Erratic Behaviour On Instagram Live Sparks Fan Concern

by

Kodak Black’s eccentric personality is the reason so many of his fans admire him. That being said, it’s also been a major cause of concern in the past. The Florida native has been known to get himself in trouble – both with the law, and his contemporaries. Yak appeared to be doing well in recent months, even performing at a teen leadership conference in his home state. However, trouble struck again earlier this month when an arrest warrant was issued for the “Love & War” hitmaker last week.

In the time since then, fans have been expressing concern for Kodak Black. Not only due to his run-ins with the law but also because he’s been exhibiting troubling behaviour on Instagram Live. As XXL reports, the 26-year-old was streaming on Sunday (June 25). He obviously seemed to be in a world of his own while someone else was recording him. In a clip that’s not going viral, Black sits on the floor shirtless. He looks far more dishevelled than we’re used to seeing him.

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

While being filmed, the southern star rambles nonsensically about a variety of topics. Not only is Kodak’s speech pattern concerning, but his unusual body language has some speculating that substance use is what put him in such a state. “These people be the breadwinner for their friends and family, make sure everybody straight, and they still won’t do everything to protect them in moments like this. Why tf y’all allowing this and then holding the phone to show the world??” one IG user pondered in @theneighborhoodtalk’s comment section.

Aside from concerning fans with his unusual behaviour on social media, Kodak Black has also found himself caught up in the aforementioned trouble with the authorities. This time around, a Florida arrest warrant has been issued for him after he failed to meet the terms of his probation by showing up for a pretrial meeting related to his drug charges. Read how the embattled star’s attorney feels about the impact of his client’s fame at the link below. Make sure to check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

YNW Melly Update: Undercover Detective Will Remove Ski Mask For Testimony, Judge Rules

by

It’s Monday once again, and while most of the world is back at their 9-5, YNW Melly is back in court for his double murder trial. Proceedings officially began earlier this month in Broward County, several years after the young rapper turned himself into the police. Things initially seemed to be going in Melly’s favour, however, evidence submitted last week shows alleged texts between the 23-year-old and his mother, Jamie King, in which he asked her to bring him a gun around the time of YNW Juvy and YNW SakChaser’s deaths.

Detective Danny Polo, who’s incredibly familiar with Melly’s case, took the stand ahead of the weekend as a witness for the prosecution. At the time, he donned a court-sanctioned ski mask to help conceal his identity out of concern for his family. However, according to Law & Crime, one of the jury members expressed an issue with this in a note to Judge John Murphy III. When court resumed this morning (June 26), correspondent Bryson “Boom” Paul shared on Twitter that Polo will be removing his mask for the remainder of his testimony.

YNW Melly’s Trial Resumes Today

Since Judge Murphy’s ruling, the defense has hardly made objections, though Melly’s attorney did speak out when what sounds like his voice was played in an audio recording of a phone call. According to Polo’s testimony, he believes that the Florida native was being recruited by two separate G-Shine Bloods gang members.

While listening to the call, the undercover detective shared that he’s “listened to hours of Melly’s music, watched music videos, and listened to jail phone calls,” making him one of the strongest witnesses we’ve seen take the stand so far.

Sexyy Red & Chrisean Rock Twerk Barefoot In The BET Awards Aisles: Watch

by

The 2023 BET Awards were some of the most unhinged in recent memory, from Lil Uzi Vert and JT’s public dispute (reportedly over Ice Spice) to Boosie Badazz actually making an appearance days after being freed from jail. Some of the night’s biggest winners include Busta Rhymes, who gave a lengthy speech while accepting his Lifetime Achievement Award, as well as Beyonce, Coco Jones, SZA, and Kendrick Lamar. Not all of our favourites were in the building last week, but many of those who were didn’t hold back on having a good night.

Among those who had all eyes on them were quickly rising rap diva Sexyy Red, and her friend Chrisean Rock. The latter has been outside living her best life as the summer begins, even as her due date nears. Days before the BET Awards cameras caught the 23-year-old performing at a club in a sparkly ensemble, her baby bump glowing under the light. She took a similar styling approach for Tyler Perry’s event, wearing a satin golden skirt with a high slit and a bright yellow chest piece for her night on the town.

Kash Doll Films Sexyy Red and Chrisean Rock’s BET Awards Antics

In a video that appeared on Kash Doll’s Instagram Story following the show, Rock can be seen turning up with Red (wearing a two-piece outfit the same colour as her name) in the aisles of the venue. Both women have ditched their shoes, and the latter confidently perform bars from one of her biggest hits as the audience sings back to her. Before long, the expecting mother bends over to begin twerking on Sexyy, causing the audience to erupt in cheers

Aside from having a blast at the BET Awards with Chrisean Rock, Sexyy Red has also been busy promoting her Hood Hottest Princess album. The project features the viral “Pound Town 2” featuring Nicki Minaj and plenty of other must-listen tracks. During her press tour, the up-and-coming rhymer dropped by Angela Yee’s Lip Service podcast to discuss her come-up – including a low point in her romantic past that resulted in an STI.

Ashanti Gives Goddess Vibes In Bermuda Carnival Costume, Gets Cozy With Nelly While Performing

by

There’s never been a better reason to consider spinning the block thanks to the reunion of couples like Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez or Ashanti and Nelly. While the former pair has had some undeniably tense moments in the public eye as of late, the latter seems to be more in love than ever – and definitely not afraid to show it off to the world. Earlier this month we saw them step out in matching outfits for the annual Quality Control Music Black Ball, at which time Nelly hopped behind the DJ booth to take care of his girl’s sound as she sang on stage.

Twitter ate that date night up, and since then, Ashanti and her beau have only given us more reason to root for them. Over the weekend, another video of them performing together began making rounds online, and this time, the “Hot In Herre” hitmaker looks undeniably giddy as the 42-year-old grinds up against him. “He hasn’t stopped cheesing since 😭 love that for them,” one Instagram user wrote in @theneighborhoodtalk’s comments after watching the heartwarming clip.

Ashanti and Nelly are Stuck Like Glue

We’re always happy to see Ashanti and Nelly boo’d up, but fans also happen to love seeing the New York native’s vacation posts. Her most recent destination was Bermuda, where she travelled for the first time to attend the country’s annual Carnival celebrations. “Thank you @Bermuda for an amazing first visit!!!! It won’t be my last! I had a blast jumping with @carnivalinbermuda 😜💃🏽🇧🇲🇧🇲🇧🇲🌴🌴🌴❤,” the songbird wrote in the caption of her commemorative Instagram post.

As expected, Ashanti went all out with her costume, adorning herself in a colourful set of feathers worn with a teal-coloured harness that left much of her curvaceous body on display. It remains unclear if Nelly was on this trip, but if not, he was certainly just as happy as fans to see the snapshots.

Rubi Rose Reminds Us She’s The Real View With Cabo Vacation Thirst Traps

by

25-year-old Rubi Rose is a highly sought-after young woman, but she still struggles to find the perfect romantic partner. Throughout her career, we’ve occasionally heard the model vent about her thoughts on relationships. Several of them point to her needing to heal more before she’s ready for more serious love. Back in the spring, Rose admitted that her type is typically guys who don’t have feelings for her. She revealed that she’s often turned off by men who thirst after her, and she’d rather be ignored by someone who has her attention.

“When they start liking me, I don’t like them. It’s really sad, it’s weird,” the Kentucky native reflected. “Unless I really really like them, but I like when guys don’t act interested. You know what I’m saying?” While she may not be particularly interested in the thousands of munches leaving comments under her thirst traps, that hasn’t stopped Rubi from sharing them from her vacation in beautiful Cabo, Mexico.

“Coulda been anywhere… Why [you] not here with me?” the OnlyFans creator asked in the caption of a photo dump shared on Saturday (June 24). Throughout the carousel, Rose poses poolside in a tiny green bikini, showing off her slim thick figure from various angles. Saweetie, Latto, and Chrisean Rock have already dropped by the comments, leaving messages like “Miss Roseeeeeee 🤤,” and “Yes.” Earlier in 2023, the scantily clad starlet was romantically linked to French Montana, but since then, she seems to be embracing her status as a single woman and enjoying all the attention (and money) coming her way.

Her salacious social media posts are obviously what she’s best known for, however, Rubi Rose is capable of kind deeds in other forms too. Earlier this month, she celebrated Father’s Day by surprising her dad with a seriously impressive present.

Rihanna & ASAP Rocky Fly To Barbados For A Baecation After Turning Heads In Paris

by

Not only has Rihanna been travelling all over the world since announcing her second pregnancy in February, but she’s been doing it in style with ASAP Rocky by her side. We’ve seen the lovers visit Japan, where the soon-to-be father of two wore a graphic tee covered in miniature memes of himself, and more recently, they were in Paris to support Pharrell. Aside from Beyonce and Jay-Z, Rihanna and ASAP were arguably one of the best-dressed couples at the Louis Vuitton runway show, where they coordinated in all-blue outfits.

As Daily Mail reports, after finishing up their to-do list in France, Rocky and his “wife” (as he called Rihanna during his live performance in Europe this past week) caught a flight to Barbados. It seems to have become a tradition for the pair, as they visited the Fenty Beauty founder’s home country when she was nine months pregnant with RZA. She appears to be just as far along this time around. Of course, no information about the little one’s gender or due date is public knowledge yet.

Rihanna Returns to Her Homeland Ahead of Baby No. 2

Rihanna was all smiles in a skin-tight green mini-dress shortly after arriving back in Barbados. She kept her accessories simple and was shining bright like a diamond beside ASAP in his grey, black. and white outfit. It remains unclear how long they plan to stay on the beautiful island, but we’re sure to see some beautiful snapshots of the 35-year-old surface as she taps back into her roots.

As she embarks upon the final weeks of her second pregnancy, Rihanna’s life is changing in several major ways. Not only will she and ASAP Rocky be introducing RZA to their adorable sibling, but the Bad Gal will also have much more time to spend with her family as she officially announced her decision to step down as the CEO of her lingerie company after several years. Read Rih’s statement at the link below, and find paparazzi photos from her Barbados baecation here.

Chrisean Rock’s Baby Bump Steals The Spotlight During Turnt Up Club Performance: Watch

by

Earlier this weekend, Blueface proved which of his baby mamas currently has his loyalty. He’s been chiefly showing support for the first, Jaidyn Alexis, who he’s signed to his new Milf Music label. Along with an announcement of the major move (which encouraged other women who are mothers to come forward if they’re also interested in working with Blueface), he’s been promoting her “Stewie” single, which has received mostly negative reactions so far online. While all this has been going on, the 26-year-old’s second baby mama, Chrisean Rock, seems to be completely unbothered.

In the past, seeing her Cr*zy In Love co-star show love to Alexis would spend the 23-year-old into a spiral. Now, however, she’s more focused on securing the bag ahead of her first child’s arrival. First, she performed a twerk-filled dance routine during GloRilla’s festival set at the start of June. Now, she stepped out for a club appearance this weekend. From the looks of things, it had the whole venue dancing and singing along to one of her songs.

While surrounded by friends, co-stars, and other Zeus affiliates, Rock stands on a table, happily grooving along to the music blaring over the speakers. To her right, Bobby Lytes – who previously encouraged the Baltimore native to reconsider motherhood – was seen dancing along while holding a blunt. Chrisean had her baby bump on display during her appearance. It was peaking out from a sizeable cutout in the middle of her sparkly dress. She wore oversized sunglasses to shield her eyes, and let her long, black hair flow freely down her back.

Apart from being criticized for hitting the club so close to her due date, Chrisean Rock was also caught rolling a blunt on Instagram Live earlier this month. The laughable moment happened as she was streaming with GloRilla, and though the Memphis native tried to save her friend from being caught on camera, internet sleuths caught it too quickly.

Deion Sanders Jokes With His Kids In Post-Surgery Video

by

Deion Sanders’ rebuild of the Colorado Buffaloes football team had to be put on hold for a few days so that the NFL legend could get surgery. Sanders has been dealing with circulation issues in his left foot for a number of years. After having two toes amputated in 2021, surgeons could worry that the persisting problem could cost him the whole foot.

However, it wasn’t his foot that prompted emergency surgery on June 22. Instead, as first reported by Pat McAfee, Sanders had been admitted to the hospital to remove a clot in his groin. The severity of the clot was not made public. However, it appeared bad enough that it required an unscheduled surgery to correct.

However, to the relief of many, it appears that surgery went well. Deion Sanders Jr. posted a video to his father’s Instagram account showing Coach Prime face-timing with his family. The video was captioned “There’s something wrong with @shilosanders … family conversation @shedeursanders @deionsandersjr @shilosanders @deiondrasanders #CoachPrime (posted by @deionsandersjr)”. Sanders is expected to leave hospital in the coming days. Given his work ethic, we could be back on the turf at Folsom Field this week.

In the video, Sanders, lying in a hospital bed, is face timing his children. After confirming that he had two clots in his left leg removed, and another in his right leg yet to be removed, he began joking around his children. “I told ’em – Shilo ain’t no good, Shilo ain’t no good.” Shilo, who plays defensive back and recently transferred to play under his dad at Colorado, couldn’t help but joke around. “I told ’em you were getting a BBL,” Shilo quipped. While it seems that Coach Prime is in the clear for the moment, we wish him a speedy recovery regardless. Follow all the latest sports news here at HotNewHipHop.

Nick Cannon Pursuing Child Psychology Degree

by

Given that he’s welcomed 12 children into his life from six different mothers, Nick Cannon has a lot to learn about fatherhood. Moreover, he spoke on his progress on The Language Of Love podcast with Dr. Laura Berman on Sunday (June 18). In fact, he wants to take that learning process to the next level and actually hit the books. Furthermore, the multi-hyphenate entertainment figure revealed his pursuit of a master’s degree in child psychology. During their conversation, he mentioned some of the things that stick out in his mind the most in his early stages of advanced education.

“Oh, the presence of a father and how much will they need you,” Nick Cannon remarked. “The Freudian aspect of reverting back to your childhood trauma, or the lack thereof. Nature vs nurture. These are conversations I have several times every single day. I’m living, whether in therapy on my own or even just wanting to make sure that every single child has what they need, developmentally and emotionally. I’m studying the brain and at what point does sensory matter.”

Nick Cannon’s Full Interview On The Language Of Love

Regardless of his studies, the “Wild ‘N Out” host is also taking other steps to develop his relationship with his children- or rather, with each other. “As much as that may be a wish of mine, I’ve got to respect that’s not a wish of everyone’s,” Nick Cannon said of bringing all his kids together. “I think that we’ll get there. One of the things I’ve witnessed from some of my elders in the game, once the children get of age to make their own decisions, it’ll happen. Because they’re currently under their mothers’ jurisdiction, I’m trying to play by the moms’ rules. But once they can make their own decisions, I would hope and pray that we’ll have established a strong enough relationship that they’ll want to come hang out with me.

“I think he’s kind of already figured it out,” he said of his six-year-old son Golden. “He knows he has other siblings. Even within his own house, he’s not an only child,” Cannon continued. “He knows about his older siblings. He’s been around the younger ones. He’s been around them, just nobody talks about it. It’s not like, ‘This is your brother or your sister. And I think the school that he’s in, he’s on the internet. He knows his dad is known for having a lot of kids.” For more news and the latest updates on Nick Cannon, stay up to date on HNHH.

Hunxho Reportedly Arrested After Shooting At His ATL Birthday Bash

by

June isn’t over yet, but already it’s been one of the busiest months in terms of hip-hop and crime. We’ve had our eye on the YSL/YFN RICO trials for months now. In addition, YNW Melly’s double murder proceedings have seen plenty of ups and downs. Elsewhere, Boosie Badazz, Quando Rondo, and Jacquees were put behind bars (only the second artist remains there – the other two have since bonded out). As if all of that weren’t enough chaos to take in, reports claim that Hunxho was arrested in Atlanta on Saturday (June 24) night.

Footage obtained by @newsmadeit on Instagram shows officers at Lyfe ATL nightclub, where a shooting took place during the producer’s celebration. In the clip, a group of police run swarm toward the scene of the crime. We also see people and various cars waiting outside to see what would happen next. A truck that was in the area at the time seems to have taken some bullets, and at least one person was hit though their condition remains unknown at this time

Moments later, it’s been said that Hunxho was arrested for alleged gun possession. Another video taken last night shows the “48 Laws of Power” artist being held down on the ground by an officer. “Why they lock him up?” a female voice asks from being the camera. “They said Hunxho had a gun in his hand,” another woman explained.

The news is particularly unfortunate considering it comes little more than a year after the 24-year-old beat RICO charges. “Been fighting this RICO for FOUR YEARS,” he wrote on his Instagram Story in May 2022. “Dis s**t don’t even feel real right now 🙌🏾.”
