Fetty Wap’s Baby Mama Reflects On Taking Daughter On Prison Visit To See Him

June 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Fetty Wap’s six-year prison sentence was a big shock to much of the hip-hop community, as he will remain in prison until at least 2028. For those unaware, the New Jersey MC received a five-year prison sentence on drug charges related to a smuggling operation in New York. While many fans lamented this development, no one in his life feels the brunt of this incarceration more than his immediate family. Moreover, his baby mama, actress and entrepreneur Masika Kalysha, spoke with The Neighborhood Talk about the arrest and their handling of it. Specifically, she reflected on the possibility of their young daughter accompanying her to visit him in prison, which she’s still hesitant about.

“You know, it is still taking a lot to get used to,” Masika Kalysha remarked concerning Fetty Wap. “It’s the new norm, which I’m not ready to accept that. You know, and it’s just… my daughter, she’s seven. So it really affects her. But we’re working with it, we’re working together, they communicate very often. We’re just trying to figure out the healthiest way to manage this until he comes home.”

Furthermore, the interviewer asked Kalysha whether she thought of taking their daughter to jail to see him in person in that environment. “Only a hundred times,” the actress replied. “You know, it’s a big difference from taking your daughter to sold-out arenas to see her dad than taking her to an institution like that. But, you know, at the end of the day, that’s still her dad. So we’re gonna make it work, and he’ll be home soon. And y’all make sure to keep streaming his music so I can get my check,” she concluded with a laugh after agreeing that as long as their daughter’s happy with the outcome, she’ll fulfill her wishes when it comes to Fetty Wap.

Meanwhile, even when looking to after he’s released, the 32-year-old faced intense post-prison conditions in court. For example, authorities barred him from seeking parole until he completes five years of his sentence. In addition, he must fully disclose all financial dealings, including new activity at institutions such as account creation, and submit a DNA test to his parole officer upon release. For more news and the latest updates on Fetty Wap, come back to HNHH.

Halle Bailey Stuns At Paris Fashion Week

June 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Halle Bailey is looking incredibly elegant at Paris Fashion Week. There may be many celebrities in attendance, but Halle is definitely a standout. The actress and singer was photographed attending the Ami Alexandre Mattiussi menswear show. The 23-year-old Little Mermaid star showcased a classy all-grey ensemble. The outfit consisted of an oversized blazer, a matching top, and high-waisted flared trousers. Additionally, Halle added a touch of height with black stiletto heels. Drop earrings featuring beautiful pearls acted as the finishing touches to Halle’s look.

Halle’s makeup was just as stunning as her outfit. It featured a glamorous palette of different products. Her face was adorned with sparkling eyeshadow, thick eyeliner, and a bold plum lip gloss. Furthermore, the actress’s hair was on point as always. Her flawless dreadlocks, cascading down her shoulders and chest, completed the stunning look. You can see a pictures of the full look at the source link.

Halle Bailey has been receiving significant attention since her impressive debut as Ariel in the Little Mermaid reboot. The film has achieved the highest fan rating among live-action Disney movies on Rotten Tomatoes. It has a current approval rating of 95% based on over 5,000 ratings. This surpasses the previous record set by Guy Ritchie’s Aladdin, which had a 94% audience rating. Despite initial backlash over Halle’s casting, the movie performed exceptionally well at the box office. Furthermore, it debuted at number one with an estimated $118 million over the Memorial Day weekend in the United States. The casting of Halle likely has quite a bit to do with the film’s success.

The film received mixed reviews from critics. It has a current approval rating of 67%. However, it has garnered global praise for Halle’s performance as Ariel. The actress herself was moved by videos of children reacting joyfully to seeing a black woman portray a Disney princess. Halle expressed her gratitude for the emotional impact she has had on young viewers. She compared it to the effect that Anika Noni Rose’s portrayal of Tiana in The Princess and the Frog had on her own perspective. Additionally, Halle emphasized the importance of representation and the deservingness of black individuals to occupy such roles.

Megan Thee Stallion Hits The Gym, Serves Body, And Attends Pharrell’s Louis Vuitton Show In New TikTok Vlog

June 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Megan Thee Stallion seems to be feeling brand new in all the best ways following a tumultuous 2022. She’s publically addressed her legal battle with Tory Lanez, making it abundantly clear that it’s something she wants to put behind her. Elsewhere, she seems to have found new love with Belgian soccer player Romelu Lukaku. Interestingly, Thee Stallion never publically confirmed a split from Pardison Fontaine. Still, she and the athlete were photographed holding hands at one of his teammate’s weddings in May.

As badly as her listeners are craving a Hot Girl Summer anthem, Thee Stallion has been clear as of late that she has no plans to drop music until she’s in a stronger state mentally. Nevertheless, that hasn’t stopped her from performing old favourites from her discography. At this time, it remains unclear when she’ll be sharing her follow-up to Traumazine. On Friday (June 23), the Houston native posted a TikTok updating followers on what she’s been up to. “Y’all miss me? Don’t ask me ’bout no dang music [right now] lol,” Megan wrote in the caption.

As her vlog begins, we see her putting in work at the gym. In fact, she even revealed that she’s recently learned how to do a pull-up. Along the way, Megan hilariously pokes fun at people before heading to the spa to get a special treatment. Afterward, it was time to visit the Hermes store and pick up a new Birkin – as one casually does – before heading to Pharrell’s highly anticipated Louis Vuitton menswear debut. “So anyways, I went to the show and this ni**a look like a scammer,” she declared as the comedic clip came to a close.

In other news, it was recently revealed that Tory Lanez’s first attorney advised him against blaming Kelsey Harris for shooting Megan Thee Stallion. Of course, the Canadian was ultimately found guilty in late 2022 and remains behind bars awaiting sentencing. Read our latest update on that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

NBA YoungBoy’s Mom Pays Him A Visit In Utah

June 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Despite his continued house arrest, NBA YoungBoy continues to get chances to see his family. Not only did the court allow for him to have more visitors, but this is the second time in just three days that he’s had some quality family time. Moreover, the Baton Rouge rapper recently received a visit from his mother, and pictures of the meet-up surfaced online. Despite his limitations, YB continues to be as prolific as ever when it comes to music drops, and is finding time to spend with loved ones. In addition, this comes almost a month after his mother said that he is one of her “best kids.”

“No, he’s really one of my best children,” she said of YoungBoy. “Because he cares about other people. Ever since he been little, he do stuff for his sisters and brothers. When he first got his little money– his sister was 16, he was like 14– he bought her a car… bought her a little Chrysler… but it was about $3,000 or $4,000. He always took care of his sister and his little brother. He always do for his friends. If he go to the store, he gon’ bring them back something, like candy. He help the neighbors… Like all the older people. To this day, all the older people, they remember him.”

Meanwhile, the 23-year-old is as busy with his music as ever, dropping three projects so far in 2023 alone. While many fans thought that he would wrap things up with that, it seems like his streak this year isn’t over just yet. Furthermore, YoungBoy just dropped a new track and music video, “I Need To Know.” For fans of his style and more braggadocious content and delivery, this might be an instant add to the playlist. If not… well, you have like 70 other tracks to choose from this year.

Unfortunately, not everything has been peaches and cream when it comes to his family life. Recently, the Richest Opp rhymer responded to Nicolette Gotti and his baby mama Yaya Mayweather’s beef, saying that he hates the latter. Hopefully things don’t keep getting uglier with his extended family. Regardless, for more news and the latest updates on NBA YoungBoy, check back in with HNHH.

Beyonce Nip Slip Prevented By Dancer During “RENAISSANCE” World Tour

June 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

When an artist embarks on a tour, mistakes are sure to happen – even if that artist is Beyonce. So far the 41-year-old’s RENAISSANCE World Tour has been running relatively smoothly, though we have seen some eyebrow-raising moments as of late. In Amsterdam, Queen B looked noticeably angry when the production crew seemingly missed their cue to help her off her giant horse. At the time Twitter users joked about someone being fired after the incident, and from the look on the “Halo” singer’s face at the time, we wouldn’t be surprised if they were right.

Things seemed to be going better when Beyonce reached Germany, but as Page Six reports, she nearly suffered a serious wardrobe malfunction while performing in a hot pink dress. As she sang a fan favourite from her new album, “BREAK MY SOUL,” one of the Houston native’s longtime dancers noticed she was unconsciously preparing to flash her audience as the strap on her outfit began to slip. The performer has been identified as one of the Les Twins (consisting of Laurent and Larry Nicolas Bourgeois), and he chivalrously shielded Bey from the crowd as she made any necessary adjustments.

As the video continues to gain traction on TikTok, the dancer is receiving immense praise for how he handled the situation. “Not the twins protecting her twins,” one person quipped. “He secured his spot on the next tour,” and “Those twins been with her a long time. I know she loves them,” others wrote. While this is the most major wardrobe malfunction we’ve seen on the RENAISSANCE Tour so far, cameras also caught Bey nearly losing her headpiece during “AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM” recently.

Amid her many tour stops in Europe this month, Beyonce found time to visit Pharrell Williams in Paris as he was making his Louis Vuitton menswear debut. Others in attendance included Zendaya, Megan Thee Stallion, Rihanna, and ASAP Rocky.

Savage X Fenty: Rihanna Steps Down As CEO After 5 Years

June 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

While the Navy isn’t exactly happy with the lack of new music we’ve heard from Rihanna since 2016’s ANTI, they’ve been able to forgive her thanks to her hard work in other industries. She shared impressive designs from LVMH’s Fenty brand for several years, and though that was shut down, she’s also given us Fenty Beauty, Skin, and her tantalizing Savage X Fenty lingerie collection which was launched back in 2018. Over the years we’ve seen Rihanna model countless pieces for us. That’s likely to continue down the road, however, on Friday (June 23), we found out that she’ll be stepping down as CEO.

The news comes as the Barbadian creative nears closer to welcoming her and ASAP Rocky’s second child together. Their firstborn, RZA, turned one in the spring, and Rihanna has spoken candidly about how special the experience of motherhood has been for her. With two little ones soon to be running around, it only makes sense that she wants to free up her schedule so she can witness as much of their growth as possible. According to Vogue, the Bad Gal has found a very capable person to step into her shoes.

It’s the End of an Era for Rihanna

Hillary Super, the former CEO of Anthropologie Group, has been tasked with the job. Of course, Rihanna won’t be stepping out of the picture entirely. Instead, she’ll take on the role of executive chair. “It’s been beautiful to see our vision for Savage X Fenty impact the industry at such an incredible magnitude over the last five years. This is just the beginning for us, and we’re going to continue to expand in ways that always connect with the consumer,” she shared in a statement.

Elsewhere in the world of fashion, Rihanna kept her streak of noteworthy maternity looks going with an appearance at Pharrell’s Louis Vuitton debut earlier this week. She and ASAP Rocky perfectly coordinated in denim outfits, and as per usual, her baby bump was on full display.

YNW Melly Asked His Mom To Buy Him A Legal Gun, Prosecution Claims In Ongoing Trial

June 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

YNW Melly’s double murder trial has been playing out for the better part of June, and so far, we’ve seen plenty of interesting twists and turns in the case. The accused killer has been making plenty of headlines with his antics, from appearing to pray before jurors entered the courtroom to being criticized for smiling from ear to ear and letting his personality shine through during some of the proceedings. In the beginning, many lawyers chiming in on the case shared the opinion that Melly could potentially beat his charges due to the prosecution’s near-impossible job proving him guilty.

However, new evidence has seemingly turned things around, as alleged text messages between the Florida native and his mother, Jamie King, have been presented as evidence against him. In the video below, the prosecution presents screenshots of messages sent by Melly both ahead of and following the homicides, using his consistent speech pattern to prove their validity. “Listen I [don’t] care about any of this but you [and] I have not posted anything about Sak,” King wrote to her son about one his alleged victims prior to his death. “He jumping what his sister started, making posts about me.”

Prosecution Presents Troubling Evidence Against YNW Melly

More screenshots shown later in the video find Melly asking his mother to “Get [him] a Glock ASAP,” as well as sending her his location around the time the crimes took place in 2018. “Like go now,” YNW urged her. “Ok, what’s wrong? I got your .45,” she wrote back. “I just don’t want no illegal gun. Well dats not illegal,” the recording artist responded.

“But I rather have a Glock 40 or 19,” other alleged messages from Melly read. Shortly after the seven-minute mark, Melly’s defense attorneys attempt to object, however, the judge allowed the prosecution to continue. Now that these receipts have entered the chat, social media commentators are starting to think things might not go in his favour.

Criminal Lawyer Explains Melly’s Situation

Check out criminal lawyer Bruce Rivers’ full explanation of the latest updates from YNW Melly’s double murder trial below. Do you think this new evidence will solidify the 23-year-old’s fate? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Nicki Minaj’s Neighbors Petition To Kick Her Out Due To Husband’s Crimes

June 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Nicki Minaj may be getting a lot of hype for her “Barbie World” single with Ice Spice, but she has a new and more pressing issue to handle: her home. Moreover, those in the Hidden Hills community in Los Angeles (where Minaj and her husband Kenneth Petty bought a $19.5 million mansion last December) want them kicked out due to Petty’s sex offender status. For those unaware, he failed to register as one in California (and is serving one year of home detention as a result), although he is registered in New York. Furthermore, resident Beverly Bardan started a change.org petition titled “SAY NO TO SEX OFFENDERS IN HIDDEN HILLS.” Signed residents believe Petty has a high chance of reoffending and his presence will devalue the area’s homes.

“Kenneth Petty is a level 3 sex offender, convicted for the attempted rape of a 16 year old girl, and has a high likelihood to reoffend,” states the petition. “He was also found guilty for killing a man. He is currently under house arrest for failing to register as a sex offender in California as law demands it. The Petty couple moving in would lead to appraisal value of our homes to go DOWN due to safety concerns. It would lead to children and women being a target.”

Nicki Minaj & Kenneth Petty At The Marc Jacobs Fall 2020 Runway Show

“We, the residents of Hidden Hills, must put our resident’s safety first,” it continued. “Don’t wait to receive a letter from the government saying a predator has moved in near you. DO NOT allow this dangerous sex offender to live near you, SHOW that you are against sex offenders in our Hidden Hills neighborhood!”

Meanwhile, Petty- who fathered Papa Bear with the rap star- served over four years in prison for first-degree attempted assault at age 16. When authorities arrested him in 2020 for failing to register as a sex offender in California, they sentenced him to three years of probation and one of home detention, plus a $55,000 fine. However, prosecutors wanted prison time and supervised release, since he owns luxury homes that aren’t exactly horrible to stay in. Amid other legal issues, the couple is facing an uphill battle to forego these past crimes. For more news and the latest updates on Nicki Minaj and Kenneth Petty, check back in with HNHH.

Elon Musk Challenges Mark Zuckerberg To A Cage Match

June 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Elon Musk has been the head of Twitter for nearly eight months. As nearly the entire internet knows, it has not been the smoothest transition. However, Musk now faces competition from rival platforms. Bluesky, a platform involving former Twitter head Jack Dorsey, is gradually rolling out invitations. Additionally, Mark Zuckerberg is working on a competing service called Threads. Elon Musk responded to a post about Threads that criticized Zuckerberg’s past actions. In the response, he tweeted to express his willingness to engage in a fight with Zuckerberg. Surprisingly, Zuckerberg seemed to accept the challenge.

“I’m sure Earth can’t wait to be exclusively under Zuck’s thumb with no other options,” tweeted Musk. He also lashed out at Zuckerberg’s claim of creating a “sane” version of Twitter. Another Twitter user reminded Musk that Zuckerberg is skilled in Jiu-jitsu. However, Musk seemed undeterred. Instead, he responded that he would be up for a cage match if Zuckerberg was interested. Whether or not it was a joke remains to be seen. Still, it’s likely he wasn’t expecting the response he got.

Could We See An Actual Cage Match Between Musk and Zuckerberg?

I’m up for a cage match if he is lol

— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 21, 2023

These days, Elon Musk is perhaps best known for his trolling on Twitter. However, it seems that Mark Zuckerberg is more than open to the idea of a physical fight. Zuckerberg’s response on his Instagram stories indicated that he was serious about the challenge. On the Instagram Story, he simply posted a screenshot of Musk’s tweet with the words “Send Me Address.” Of course, the press immediately wanted to verify whether or not the Meta founder was serious. Surprisingly, a spokesperson from Meta confirmed that the story speaks for itself without providing any further explanation.

Elon Musk’s physical stature is larger than the thin-framed Zuckerberg. However, Zuckerberg’s proficiency in Jiu-jitsu should not be underestimated. If the two were to actually participate in a match, there is no doubt that Zuckerberg would win. The ball is now in Musk’s court. However, he may follow a pattern similar to what happened with his involvement in Twitter. He will initially express interest and then attempt to back out for months. In the end, he will eventually participate and face unfavorable outcomes. What do you think of Musk’s challenge? Who would win in a cage match? Let us know in the comments!

Meek Mill Extremely Confused About The Missing Titanic Submersible

June 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Meek Mill is leaning hard into conspiracy theories. Meek is known for his active presence on Twitter. The rapper has tweeted some questionable things throughout his Twitter tenure. He has been known to engage in beefs and share confounding AI-generated raps on the platform. Now, he has once again taken to the platform to express his thoughts. This time, it is regarding the missing Titanic submersible in the North Atlantic. The rapper tweeted about the situation to voice his skepticism about the actual reason the submersible is missing.

In a tweet on June 21, Meek questioned the actions of a wealthy individual onboard the craft. The rapper suggested that there must be contingency plans in place. “I can’t see a wealthy man doing this with no extreme back up plans…” Meek tweeted. He followed up his skepticism with a healthy dose of media criticism. He lambasted the media for circulating similar clips without providing substantial information. Furthermore, Meek emphasized that there are more pressing issues in the world that deserve attention.

Meek Isn’t The Only Skeptic

I can’t see a wealthy man doing this with no extreme back up plans….with your son, not saying it’s fake but the way y’all run the same clips in media not even working on the average minds anymore…all types of stuff going on in the world y’all headlining with no real info lol https://t.co/ekr2NbY3ej

— MeekMill (@MeekMill) June 21, 2023

Meek is not the only one who expressed skepticism about the incident. Details are scarce, but CNN’s ongoing live update provided some confirmed details about the incident. The OceanGate Expeditions vessel, named “Titan,” lost contact with its support ship while descending to the wreckage site of the Titanic on June 18. The submersible initially had 96 hours of life support. Thursday morning was considered a crucial time to locate the vessel and its occupants. That means those on board have very little time left to be found alive. The US Coast Guard redirected some of its equipment to investigate banging sounds detected during the aerial search, but no results were obtained.

In addition to Meek Mill, Cardi B also took to Twitter to speak on the situation. Hamish Harding, a British billionaire, was among the passengers on the submersible. News circulated that his stepson, Brian Szasz, attended a recent Blink-182 concert. This happened after the submersible went missing. Upon hearing this, Cardi B expressed confusion about Szasz’s attendance while his stepfather was missing. This led to a heated exchange of insults between Szasz and Cardi B. Szasz later deleted his tweets from the conversation. What do you think about Meek’s viewpoint? Is there something suspicious going on here? Let us know what you think in the comments below!
