Halle Bailey Deactivates X After Blasting DDG For Son’s Kai Cenat Stream Appearance

November 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last month, DDG announced that he and Halle Bailey had gone their separate ways just a few months after welcoming their first child together, Halo. In the breakup announcement, he described the split as amicable. He even claimed that he and the Little Mermaid actress were still “best friends.” They’ve both kept fairly quiet about each other since then. Last night, however, DDG’s appearance on Kai Cenat’s stream prompted Bailey to call him out on X.

During the stream, DDG brought out baby Halo, which Bailey claims she did not approve of. “Just so you know I am out of town and I don’t approve of my baby being on a stream tonight. I wasn’t told or notified,” she tweeted, “I am extremely upset to have my baby in front of millions of people. I am his mother and protector and saddened that I wasn’t notified especially when I am out of town.”

In another Tweet, Bailey referenced her battle with postpartum depression and noted how there are boundaries she’d hoped those around her would respect. Many fans agree that DDG should have gotten Bailey’s approval to bring their son on Cenat’s stream. Some, on the other hand, believe the situation was blown out of proportion. Now, amid all the chatter, Bailey has deactivated her X account. At the time of writing, it remains unclear whether she’s done with X for good, or simply wants a break.

What do you think of Halle Bailey calling out her ex-boyfriend DDG for bringing their child on Kai Cenat’s livestream without her approval? What about her proceeding to deactivate her X account? Who do you think is right in this situation? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

DDG Claims He’s Done With Dating Unless He Reunites With Halle Bailey

October 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DDG has had quite the week. The rapper/YouTuber announced that he’d broken up with Halle Bailey via Instagram. The internet had lots of opinions on the matter, and DDG has spent the last few days having to explain his stance. It’s not an ideal place to be. The rapper had to debunk a fake screenshot that had been making the rounds under his name. Then, on October 7, he shed light on his plans for the future. Namely, whether or not he wanted to get into another long term relationship anytime soon.

DDG told his fans, via live stream, that he wasn’t interesting dating. Like, in the long term. The rapper claimed that he had no interest in future relationships. “I am not dating anyone,” he asserted. “I don’t have a potential girlfriend, nor do I even think about that.” DDG clarified that he does not want to have a messy personal life moving forward, and winces at the notion of having multiple baby mamas. “I don’t plan on getting into another at all… I am not finna get a new girlfriend.” The one exception that he made was his famous ex, Halle Bailey.

DDG Is Open To Getting Back With Bailey

He conceded that he would consider getting back together with Bailey, since they already have a family together. He doubled down on his familial stance by telling his followers that he plans to go pick up his son as soon as the stream ends. While it makes sense that the rapper would not want to jump back in to a relationship so soon after one ended, his comments about Bailey did catch some fans off guard. Many were not expecting him to be open to the idea of getting back together with her. Especially given that he was the one who announced their split in the first place.

DDG definitely feels defensive when it comes to the way the public has perceived his split. Joe Budden had some harsh comments to make about the rapper on The Joe Budden Podcast, and the rapper fired back with some harsh comments of his own. He called Budden a deadbeat dad, made comments about his sexuality, and claimed that people only watched his previous show, Everyday Struggle, because it had DJ Akademiks.

Lil Pump Sued By Man Who Alleges The Rapper Assaulted Him On Stream

October 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Do you remember the last big Lil Pump song? Neither do we. The rapper has become a lightning rod for controversy. So much so, in fact, that it’s overshadowed the reason he became famous in the first place. The only time we seem to hear about the Harverd Graduate, it’s because he said something outrageous or made a bold political statement. This latest headline, however, is because Lil Pump was accused of doing something outrageous. A man named Edwin Valenzuela is suing the rapper for allegedly beating him up during a live stream.

Lil Pump is being sued by Valenzuela over a live stream that took place on August 12, 2024. The latter is an Uber driver, according to In Touch Weekly. He transported Pump and YouTuber Vitaly Zdorovetskiy to a location to shoot an episode of Catching Predators. The premise of the streaming show, as outlined in the suit, is to catch pedophiles and then subject them to pranks and abuse as a result. “Public pranks that push the boundaries of comfort and legality,” the suit added. Valenzuela claimed Lil Pump and Vitaly proceeded to corner him. They allegedly read fake messages in which the Plaintiff “talked” to minors.

Despite Valenzuela’s protests, he alleges Lil Pump and Vitaly started to beat him up. He alleges that Lil Pump punched him in the head and proceeded to kick him in the stomach once he fell to the ground. It gets worse. Valenzuela alleges that Pump and Vitaly urged him to eat a used condom by putting it on his ear. Furthermore, the suit claims that the rapper threatened to feed the Uber driver to gators. “Plaintiff was bombarded by verbal abuse, including racial slurs,” the suit claimed. “Defendants screaming in his face. All while being urged by an attorney to sign a release for a ‘gameshow.’”

Valenzuela is suing Lil Pump for civil conspiracy assault, false imprisonment, civil theft and battery. He is reportedly seeking unspecified damages. This is not the first time the Catching Predators stream has led to legal action. SportSkeeda reported that Vitaly was sued by a man who claims he was wrongfully called a predator during a June live stream. Conversely, the controversial YouTube star threatened to sue Offset when the rapper failed to show up to a Catching Predators shoot in August.

Drake Raps About Quitting Lean In Snippet For New Lil Durk Collab

September 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Adin Ross has become Funkmaster Flex for Gen Z. It may churn the stomach of some fans to read that, but it’s true. Ross (and fellow streamer Kai Cenat) have become the means through which rappers tease new music. Drake is the biggest rapper in the world, and he’s leaked several songs to both Ross and Kai Cenat in the last year. The latest instance of this happened on September 4. Adin Ross played a snippet of an unreleased Drake and Lil Durk song called “Discontinuing Wockhardt.” It sounds like a potential hit, but it has lyrics that may catch some fans off guard.

The snippet starts with Lil Durk rapping, but Drake steals the show in multiple ways. His melodic flow is so catchy when he gets on the track that Adin Ross even commented on it. More than the flow or melody though, “Discontinuing Wockhardt” will garner attention for Drake’s bars. The rapper opens his verse by claiming that he’s quitting lean. “Discontinuing Wockhardt,” he sings. “But still do I pop now.” Wockhardt is a Promethazine and codeine combination is used to relieve coughs. Well, it’s supposed to be, at least. It’s also used to make lean. Drake’s (former?) friend Lil Yachty used the brand as the basis for his song “Wock” in 2022.

Drake Recently Caught Heat For Drinking Around His Son

The timing of the snippet is worth considering. Drake recently caught flack from fans for a video in which he appeared to be drinking lean around his son, Adonis. The video is shot from Drake’s perspective, and sees him get in a car with what looks to be a cup of lean. Fans were horrified by the rapper’s seemingly oblivious attitude towards his son. He also caught heat for drinking such a potent combination around a child in the first place.

Drake hasn’t made lean part of his persona the way other rappers have. Future would be the most prominent example of someone basing their sound and overall vibe after the drink. He has, however, admitted to drinking it as far back as 2011. During an interview with The Guardian, Drake opened up about the drugs he consumed during his rise to fame. “Have I sipped codeine before? Yeah, of course,” he told the outlet. “Have I smoked weed? Yes. Do I drink wine? Yes. But do I do it excessively? No. I’m not a reckless guy. I do it all within moderation.” Sounds like lean have been taken out of rotation, though, if the new song is to be believed.

Kai Cenat & IShowSpeed Shower Together After Two-Day Minecraft Stream

August 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed are up to even more antics as they were seen taking a shower together on livestream. According to Metro, the two massively popular multimedia figures did so after playing Minecraft for two days straight. For those who are not familiar with the sandbox game there are multiple modes to play the game on. You have “Creative”, which allows the player to not die and build anything they want with unlimited materials. Then, there’s “Survival”. In that mode you have to collect everything yourself and you can die. There is a variant called “Hardcore” and when you die you lose all of your progress, and you’ll have to start from scratch.

As you know, Kai and Speed love to try anything so they attempted to beat Minecraft and its final mob boss, the Ender Dragon, on “Hardcore”. However, after getting to that point after their reported 14th attempt (25 hours of gameplay), Cenat died. A therapist was even brought in to try and calm these two balls of energy down, but to no avail. The livestream started on August 17, and they apparently aren’t stopping until they beat Minecraft.

In apparent attempt to try and find some method of relaxation and stress relief, Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed decided to shower together, two days into the marathon. However, during the recording, Speed was getting too close for Cenat’s liking. “Your [shower] is over there!”, Cenat said. “I’m just washing my body bro”, Speed replied. “In front of me?!”, Cenat questioned. “Stop being weird, we’re bros, this is what bros do. You ain’t never taken a shower with your homeboy?”, Speed asked. “No… that’s a**”. Some fans were weirded out as well. “Remember, kids see and follow everything .. be mindful of the examples you set.. everything isn’t funny or worth posting.” However, there were some who pointed out locker room layouts. “I mean men shower in locker rooms together”.

What are your thoughts on Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed showering together on stream? Is this one of the weirder things you have seen these two do? Do you agree with some of the comments about not needing to post everything? How much longer will it take for them to beat Minecraft? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed.

Quavo Threatened With Lawsuit After Allegedly Scamming Vitaly Out Of $50K

August 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Vitaly links up with everybody. The YouTuber has build an entire industry around live streams in which rappers help him catch (and then humiliate) would-be predators. He did it with YG and Lil Pump. Migos superstar Quavo was supposed to be the next rapper to appear on a Vitaly stream, but he pulled a no-show at the last minute. So last minute, in fact, that Vitaly claims he already paid him $50K upfront to participate. Needless to say, the YouTuber was not happy. He’s going as far as to claim he’s taking legal action against Quavo as a result.

Vitaly broke the news that Quavo wasn’t coming during a July 29th stream. He also made racial remarks about the rapper, which drew criticism from fans throughout the world. “So, Quavo is not coming,” Vitaly announced. “No, he’s not coming. He took our deposit, right? Yeah, of course, Black people thing.” The YouTuber was so frustrated by the no-show that he urged viewers to harass the Migos rapper on social media. “Every Quavo post that goes on TikTok, everywhere, you guys say, ‘Give Vitaly his money back,’” he requested. “That’s not cool. Just taking my money like this.” Vitaly decided to take matters into his own hands on August 2, however. He went on stream and announced plans to sue Quavo for bailing on his agreement.

Quavo Reportedly Bailed On A Planned Stream Appearance

Vitaly told viewers that he was getting in touch with the legal team of another controversial streamer, Adin Ross. “We are also getting Adin Ross’ lawyers to pursue legal actions towards Quavo and his team,” he noted. The YouTuber proceeded to disparage Quavo for his actions, claiming that he used to be a big fan of the rapper. “I’ve nothing against Quavo. I was the biggest fan,” he added. “I’m not a fan anymore. I know one person isn’t gonna make a difference, but it is gonna make a difference…”

Quavo seemingly had other events on his mind. The rapper made headlines on July 31 when he attended Kamala Harris’ campaign rally in Atlanta, Georgia. Not only did Quavo voice his support for Harris, but he gave a speech in support of gun control. This was another talking point that Vitaly made fun of during his live stream. “He endorsed Kamala Harris saying protect the gun violence,” the YouTuber noted. “All you do is rap about violence and drugs.” The specifics of Vitaly’s lawsuit have been made public.

Quavo Subjected To Racist Comment From Vitaly After Allegedly Making Off With $300K

July 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Quavo is one of the biggest artists in hip-hop and if you want to collaborate with him, it is going to come with a price. Overall, this is especially true if you are a streamer who wants to get a bit of clout by having a famous artist on your broadcast. Well, it seems as though Vitaly is learning this the hard way. Recently, Vitaly claimed that he paid Quavo $300K to show up for a pedophile hunting stream. Vitaly has done these streams with the likes of Ty Dolla Sign, YG, and even The Game, in the past.

However, in the clip below, Vitaly explains that he allegedly gave Quavo the money, but he never showed up. This is similar to the situation involving Playboi Carti and Adin Ross, who are still in a bit of a public feud, to this day. Below, you can see that Vitaly had a vitriolic response to all of this that can certainly be classified as racism. As Vitaly told Myron from Fresh & Fit, Quavo’s absence must have been a “black people thing.”

The comment was uncalled for and fans on No Jumper noted as such. “Black people thing? Now I’m glad he took the money,” one person said. “Bro had a chance of getting his bread back till he made that wild comment,” said another. This was a common sentiment throughout the comments section and it is easy to see why. It just goes to show that these streamers just want clout, and do not care about the people they want to work with.

Let us know how you felt about these comments from Vitaly, in the comments section down below. Do you care about what the streamer had to say? Do you believe that his streams are purely for clout, or do you think he actually cares about helping the kids?

In the original tweet, IGN wrote: “Kai Cenat, the popular Twitch streamer who once incited a riot in New York with a giveaway event, has officially finished Elden Ring after a more than 160 hour marathon that at one point included throwing his controller out the window..”

They eventually deleted the post and published the following statement: “We messed up that Kai Cenat story by couching it in something that has nothing to do with Elden Ring or his playthrough of it.

Because y’all gave me a chance to explore a new game that is not in our category that we don’t normally play and we had a great time…gaming is really huge and I really respect Elden Ring,” Cenat said afterward. “[T]o the Souls community, y’all are some gamers. Second of all, this game is a masterpiece. Does it deserve game of the year? Yes. I love God of War. I love it. This game is cinema…I literally enjoyed every boss battle…I don’t know what game compares to this now. This is absolute cinema.”

Adin Ross Mesmerized By 4batz’s Real Talking Voice

May 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Adin Ross is easily one of the biggest streamers in the entire world. Overall, he changed the streaming game with his variety broadcasts. He would oftentimes have rappers come into his bedroom and do freestyles. There were some iconic moments, and although artists stopped messing with him for a while, they are back to doing so. Throughout 2024, Adin has had numerous massive artists make their way to his stream. While there have been some drawbacks with artists like Playboi Carti, for the most part, Adin has been having a good time.

Recently, Ross got to have 4batz on his stream. Overall, this was huge considering the rise that 4batz has been having as of late. His From The Block performance was massive, and he has since gained attention from both Drake and Kanye West. He also has a distinct look which has certainly helped him to navigate the music world. Now, however, he is gearing up to drop off his very first EP, and fans are more than excited to hear it. His recent appearance on Ross’s stream turned out to be a great time to promote himself.

Adin Ross x 4batz

During Ross’ encounter with 4batz, he was extremely surprised by the singer’s real speaking voice. “Wait, that’s your voice, bro? That’s crazy! […] Wow!” Ross said. 4batz is known for his voice which acts as a stark contrast to his overall style. Many have been surprised by his singing chops, so it makes sense that his talking voice would also take people by surprise. Only time will tell whether or not he becomes a superstar or not.
