Chris Brown Has His Eyes on Shay Mitchell

Chris Brown is the subject of another lawsuit, this time stemming from an alleged attack in London. A man named Abe Diaw claims Breezy beat him with a bottle of Don Julio 1942 at TAPE nightclub in February.

The lawsuit states Chris Brown delivered “crushing blows” to the man that knocked him unconscious. After, Brown allegedly stomped the man out as he lay unconscious on the floor. Diaw states he was transported to the hospital and suffered cuts on his head and torn ligaments in his leg.

According to TMZ, the entire attack was captured on surveillance camera, and Brown is reportedly wanted in the United Kingdom. Diaw also claims he is a seven-year friend of Brown and went in for a hug, which led to the beat down.

Diaw is suing Chris Brown for damages, including emotional distress and trauma.

Madonna Shares New Details On Her Health Scare

October 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Madonna’s Celebration Tour is officially underway. The legendary pop singer began her new series of shows in London over the weekend. During the performance, she spoke to fans about the difficulties she underwent trying to pull the tour off. Most notably, she suffered a major health scare earlier this year that left her hospitalized while fans speculated on her well-being. Rumors swirled that she had been pushing herself to extremes in order to prepare for the start of the tour on time but it ultimately had to be delayed.

Now that the tour has officially begun she shared some new details with fans. “I didn’t think I was going to make it, neither did my doctors. That’s why I woke up with all of my children sitting around me,” she began during a discussion between songs. Her children being there seems to ultimately be what inspired her to pull through. “If you want to know my secret and how I pulled through and how I survived, I thought, ‘I’ve got to be there for my children. I have to survive for them.’” Check out the singer explaining her health scare below.

Madonna Gets Real On Her Hospitalization With Fans

“I didn’t think I was going to make it and neither did my doctors,” Madonna said of her recent health scare at the opening show of her #CelebrationTour in London. https://t.co/u3HiVQRcij

Earlier this year Madonna took the opportunity to see another one of 2023’s biggest tours. She stopped by Beyonce’s Renaissance tour back in March and like many other celebs, let the superstar dazzle her. Afterward, she caught up with Bey backstage to take a picture with her children and the singer.

In the wake of her health emergency, some concerning details emerged. One of the tidbits that stuck with fans the most is that she avoided seeing a doctor despite health concerns from those around her. Reportedly that was because she didn’t feel like she had time to while working on tour rehearsals. What do you think of the new details Madonna shared on her health scare earlier this year? Let us know in the comment section below.

21 Savage Will Perform In London For First Time Ever At Homecoming Show

October 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

21 Savage is going back home, and he’s choosing to do so in a monumental way for his life and career. Moreover, he and his team at Live Nation recently announced a homecoming concert in London on November 30 at the O2 Arena, with special guests Baby Drill and 21 Lil Harold. This would mark the 30-year-old’s first show ever in the United Kingdom, and among his first-ever international shows. For those unaware, he recently officially became a U.S. resident, can now travel freely, and gave fans his first-ever international performance during his It’s All A Blur tour with Drake’s final show in Toronto.

Furthermore, the Slaughter Gang MC’s homecoming spectacle has presale and general public sale windows. The first, for the presale, goes up on Wednesday (October 11) on Live Nation’s website, and the general tickets go out on Friday (October 13). Considering how hard 21 Savage fought to secure his freedom, this is an incredibly exciting but also fulfilling conclusion to that saga. While he made a life for himself in the United States, there’s no place like home after such a long time away from it… and being barred from the chance to return in the first place.

What’s more is that the Atlanta-based hitmaker teased a trip back to London recently. In fact, Drake suggested that they’re both heading out for it, so Drizzy will likely be a surprise guest there. Either that, or they’re plotting a full international tour, rumors that media attached to solely 21 Savage following recent reports. Whatever the case, it looks like British fans will get a real treat come November.

Meanwhile, he faced these issues because he traveled to the U.S. from the U.K. at a young age, and then authorities arrested him years later for an expired visa. Criminal charges that stem from the arrest in question also played a factor in his case’s difficult progress through court. His lawyer clarified last week that he cleared all roadblocks from ICE and affirmed his status. Now, he aims to enjoy the ride. For more news and the latest updates on 21 Savage, stay up to date on HNHH.

21 Savage Is Officially A U.S. Resident, Announces Return To London & Drake Responds

October 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

21 Savage is now officially a legal and permanent resident of the United States, but he wants to go back home soon. Moreover, this is a result of his immigration case with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office (ICE) finalizing, a years-long battle that prevented him from attending his It’s All A Blur tour stops with Drake in Canada this year. For those unaware, the Atlanta-based rapper was born in the U.K. and lived there until he moved to the States when he was seven years old. There, his family raised him, he formed relationships and a family of his own, and he found success as a rap artist. But ICE arrested the 30-year-old in 2019 over an expired visa, and alleged criminal charges from the Georgia detainment held the case back for years even after they released him on bond.

“I knew I wasn’t born here,” he told Good Morning America in 2021. “But I didn’t know like, what that meant as far as when I transitioned into an adult, how it was going to affect my life.” Now, 21 Savage’s legal team confirmed that this all resolved, and he can now travel freely as a legal U.S. citizen. “She’yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph followed all applicable Immigration laws since his initial detention by ICE,” his attorney Charles H. Kuck in a statement. “His immigration court proceedings have now been terminated and he is a lawful permanent resident of the United States with the freedom to travel internationally.” What’s more is that the “Calling For You” MC also announced that he will return to his London home very soon.

Not only that, but even Drake replied to all this with some excitement. “*we’re,” he wrote under 21 Savage’s announcement post, which appears to contain clips of his childhood across the pond. It’s heartening to see, especially since Drizzy broke this news to begin with. “Savage got a green card straight out of the consulate,” he rapped on “8AM In Charlotte.” “Where I go, you go, brother, we Yugoslavian.”

Meanwhile, it’s unclear why or in what capacity the Slaughter Gang hitmaker will return to the U.K. Regardless, this is ample cause for celebration after years of struggle. Best wishes out to 21 Savage for this big move, which will hopefully bring him peace and happiness.

Glamorous photo dumps aren’t the only thing Chloe Bailey does to amaze her fans. She’s also a pretty good singer and she reminded everyone of that earlier this month. She dazzled fans with a Tiny Desk Concert, taking her distinct vocals to the iconic small stage. Her and her band played a number of tracks from her debut album In Pieces which dropped earlier this year. Despite all the industry support for Chloe, the album didn’t do particularly well.

With just 10k in first week sales the album debuted at #119 on the Billboard 200. The sales represent a pretty big drop from the performance of her last album released alongside her sister Halle. The pair dropped the critically acclaimed Ungodly Hour in 2020 which debuted all the way up at number 16 on the Billboard 200. Halle has also dipped her toes into solo music, releasing her debut solo single earlier this year. What do you think of Chloe Bailey’s newest photo dump and the various celebrities who hype her up in the comments? Let us know in the comment section below.

Police Officer Charged With Murder Of London Rapper Itch

September 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

An unnamed police officer fatally shot rising London rapper Itch back on September 5 of last year, and might now face dire consequences for it. Moreover, following a probe by a law enforcement watchdog, authorities charged the cop (whose name is unknown for legal liability reasons) with murder, according to a Wednesday (September 20) report from The Sun. Itch, real name Chris Kaba, was 24 and expecting a child. He passed away following a high-speed police chase where he was struck by bullets and taken to a South West London hospital, where he eventually succumbed to his injuries. Itch’s drill group, 67, received a nomination for MOBO’s Best Newcomer during their 2016 awards show.

“Chris was so very loved by our family and all his friends,” Itch’s family remarked in a statement. “He had a bright future ahead of him, but his life was cut short. Our family and our wider community must see justice for Chris. We welcome this charging decision, which could not have come too soon. Now we await the trial of the firearms officer without delay and hope and pray that justice will be served.”

Itch Murder Case Sees A Charge

“They’ve taken my heart,” Itch’s mother Elaine Kaba expressed in addition. “My son is gone, I’m heartbroken.” “We’re devastated, we don’t know what to think, we can’t think straight right now,” the MC’s father Prosper stated. “He was always joking around, he enjoyed life, he had lots of friends. He was looking forward to being a father. His girlfriend is still in shock. He was looking forward to teaching his daughter how to talk and walking and all fatherly duties. He had wanted to be a father for a long time.” In addition, Director Amanda Rowe of the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) informed the press that the charged officer is due at the Westminster Magistrates’ court today (Thursday, September 21).

“Our thoughts remain with Mr Kaba’s family and everyone affected by this tragic incident,” Rowe said. “It’s important now that criminal proceedings are able to run their course. We would reiterate the importance of not reporting, commenting or sharing information online which could in any way prejudice those proceedings.” “We have fully supported the IOPC investigation as it has worked to establish the facts,” Met Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Helen Millichap added on. “Today’s announcement is a significant and serious development. We must now allow the court process to run its course so it would not be appropriate for me to say more at this stage. Our thoughts are with everyone affected by this case.”
Rest In Peace Chris Kaba.

Kanye West Shares Surprising New Music Snippet At Fashion Show In London

September 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West’s travels around Europe unlocked something in him, for better or worse considering his recent controversies. Regardless, fans went wild when they heard new reports that Yeezy is working on a new album, which seems to be manifesting. Moreover, he recently previewed new music at the Mowalola SS 2024 Fashion Show in London, and it sounds a tad different to what you might expect. Of course, this isn’t the first time that he worked with trap aesthetics- very far from it, in fact. Still, given suggestions that the 46-year-old is working with older sounds, it struck some fans as an interesting misdirection.

Whether that’s actually the case or we’re getting more of the same Donda 2 filler remains to be seen. Either way, fans split up into two different camps: those who want to hear what Ye does and those who are more interested in what Ye says. As revered as Kanye West’s production is, it’s no surprise that many fans will more closely scrutinize the lyrical content given his antisemitic rhetoric. With lines like “P***y like a Steph three, straight water / Baby, what’s the killer price? Kevin Costner,” it seems like we’ll only find out where he’s going when (or rather, if) the project drops.

New Kanye West Music On The Runway

Another aspect to consider is how relatively low-profile the Chicago MC has been as a result of all of this. Most of the media’s recent coverage around him concerns his relationship and often provocative fit-matching with Bianca Censori. Their travels around Italy netted them a lot of controversy for their actions and public displays. They recently stopped by Germany, too, so it seems that their European travels are taking them everywhere.

Meanwhile, if there really is a rollout cycle here, history suggests that we’re still very far from an album. Yandhi‘s promised and then canceled drop, plus the heap of examples before and after it, created a hole in many fans’ hearts. The difference here, though, is that there’s a lot more at stake, and even an MBTDF moment won’t erase his abhorrent actions. All we can do is sit tight, wait, and see what the hip-hop titan will do with his career and image moving forward. With that in mind, keep checking in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Kanye West.

Jaylen Brown Becomes First Active NBA Player To Appear In The Big3

August 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Boston Celtics star, and current richest man in the NBA, Jaylen Brown traded the NBA for the Big3, at least for a day. The superstar guard was confirmed to be playing in the All-Star Game of the league operated by Ice Cube. Furthermore, it makes Brown the first active NBA player to appear in the league in any format. Additionally, Cube has repeatedly blasted the NBA for the sake of support of his 3×3 summer league.

“Jaylen Brown is my hero. He’s making a humongous statement by being the first current NBA player to play in a BIG3 game. By suiting up for our All-Star game tomorrow, he’s doing everything in his power to help the league succeed. Salute. Forever grateful…,” Cube wrote on Twitter on August 25. The All-Star Game was part of the celebrations for the Big3 Championship, which was held in London on August 26. The Season 6 title was later won by Enemies, coached by Gilbert Arenas.

Jaylen Browns Speaks On Big3 Participation

“Having some fun for charity, giving back to the community, and supporting,” Brown told sideline MC Brian Scalabrine about why he took part. “It’s amazing being in this environment,” said Brown. “Shout out to London, shout out to the O2, excited to give back to charity, excited to be a part of this, and I appreciate you, Ice Cube.” Additionally, Brown put up 9/5/2 in Team Big’s loss to Team 3. Brown was playing to help local youth charity London Youth. Furthermore, after the game, Cube announced that the league would be matching Brown’s donation.

Cube reiterated his thanks to Brown while hanging out beside him during the interview. “I was blown away. I asked him if he was sure if he wanted to make this move, and he was like, ‘Yo, I want to do this for the game, for the players, and it’s a big move for the league’, so I’m excited — this guy is my hero right now. We’re blessed to be in a position where we can give back. Me being able to set the stage for the greatest athletes in the world — just call me the chef.”

Earl and The Alchemist previously shared the tracklist for the project, Tuesday, featuring a total of 11 songs with one feature blurred out. The songs include “My Brother, The Wind,” “Mac Deuce,” and several more. The two have collaborated numerous times over the years, including on “RIP Tracy” off The Alchemist’s Flying High EP, as well as “Old Friend” and “Lye” from Earl’s Sick! In 2022, The Alchemist admitted to having a collaboration with Earl in store, but didn’t go into details. “We have a pot that’s been bubbling. We have several things in motion. I’ll just say that. But stay tuned,” he told Complex at the time. The Alchemist has also previously hinted a secretly recording a project with Earl and uploading it to YouTube under a fake name.

Earl spoke about working with the iconic producer during an interview with Zane Lowe, last year. “He cares bro. He cares a lot. [You listen to his music] and it’s like, ‘Whoa, there’s a lot going on here.’ Him and Madlib, bro. It’s like, ‘Oh, this is not just a loop,’” he said.

Bobby Shmurda Parties With Fabolous & Giggs In London

August 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Bobby Shmurda’s on a bit of a European trek right now, having hit up Paris right before heading to the UK. Moreover, the Miami-born and Brooklyn raised rapper recently had a ball in London alongside fellow MCs Fabolous and Giggs. Overall, it seemed like quite the star-studded affair, with a lot of neon lights, fancy suits, and of course champagne. Still, a lot of this begs the question: what could Shmurda be traveling so much around Europe for? Most likely, it’s just to have some fun. However, he could also be looking for his hat, and if you don’t understand that quest… go do your homework.

Furthermore, there were a lot of different clips that emerged from the 29-year-old’s London outing, all equally luxurious. Most of them seem to come from a massive party in what feels like a club but looks like a massive building lobby, so that shows how hard they went. In another clip, Bobby Shmurda poses with a couple of friends, all dressed in fine suits and some with their own bottles of bubbly. Fab got slightly clowned for his big pants, but a fashion statement like that isn’t going to win anyone over. That being said, maybe cool it on the size increases for next time.

Of course, his party adventures are more fun to see than most other rappers’ due to his time in prison. As such, it’s always heartening to see that “Free Bobby Shmurda” became a reality after so many online clamors for it. Even though he’s slightly moved away from rap culture, he recently expressed that he just has a different vision of what the genre should be. From what his words indicate, it seems like all this fun that he’s sharing online could hopefully inspire others to make it big.

“These kids are following you guys, and you’re rapping about these f***ing lifestyles,” he said in a podcast interview. “It’s very dangerous to the communities [because] these little kids [really] think that [it’s] going on. You did not even live [any] [of] [it]. Rap is supposed to be telling motherf***ers to go from negative to positive, coming from poverty to go to riches. How to stay in that and how to change. That’s the s**t that I want to hear. I wanna hear about living life.” For more news and the latest updates on Bobby Shmurda, keep checking in with HNHH.
