50 Cent Fires Back After Luenell Calls Him Out For All-Male Comedy Fest Lineup

August 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this month, 50 Cent hosted his Humor & Harmony Weekend festival in Shreveport, but Luenell was not impressed with the lineup. She weighed in during a recent interview, expressing her disappointment that female comedians weren’t included. “I want to say that the game is still so misogynistic because I just heard about this Comedy Festival that my dear friend 50 is having right now… and there were several comedians on the plane, but not one female comic. Not one,” she explained.

She also noted how important fair representation is, as people of all genders were in attendance. “How can you expect women, who buy a lot of tickets, to sit and listen to man after man after man after man after man?” she wondered. “The assumption is that men are funnier than women… but that’s the assumption that’s been perpetrated.”

50 Cent Claims Luenell Was Too Busy For Humor & Harmony Weekend

Luenell’s comments sparked a response from Fif, who took to Instagram earlier today to clear things up. According to him, it was not intentional, and he would have liked to include women in the lineup. He claims he was even interested in booking her, but he figured that her schedule was simply too busy. “Proof you can’t make everybody happy,” he wrote. “I love luenell’s work that’s why I had them put her in Ghost. We saw her big a** was booked already,so we didn’t reach out. you think I didn’t want Monique, Sommore or Amy Schumer they on FIRE WTF @bransoncognac @lecheminduroi.”

What do you think of Luenell calling out 50 Cent for the “hurtful” lack of female comedians on the Humor & Harmony Weekend lineup? What about his response? Who do you think is in the right? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Ray J Receives Bizarre Offer From Luenell To Do OnlyFans Content Together

July 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Luenell’s recent interview with DJ Vlad on VladTV took a pretty lewd turn when they broached the subject of Ray J. Moreover, she offered to do OnlyFans content with him, remarking on his impact on the adult entertainment industry thanks to his tape with Kim Kardashian. The comedian spoke on all of the intrigue around him and his salacious past, hilariously blasting Paris Hilton’s own explicit video in favor his and Kim’s. Sadly, this isn’t the most wild or out of pocket remark on the singer and sexual relations that emerged as of late, as Shannon Sharpe recently caught flack for his comments on his experience with sexual abuse as a 14-year-old.

Speaking of Sharpe, Luenell actually tried to shoot her shot with him and secure a spot on the Club Shay Shay podcast, and we still don’t know if she’ll be successful in her attempts. “Hey @clubshayshay, I like private planes too,” she wrote on Instagram. “Lemme [know if you want] a lil mid-air kitty kat (meow). Oh well, we can talk about it when I come on the show one day. @clubshayshay @shannonsharpe84 #LueNatiks tag him & let him know I stand on BUSINESS.”

Luenell Wants To Do OF Content With Ray J

As for Ray J, he recently dealt with blocked access to the 2024 BET Awards and a fight with Lemuel Plummer, so he’s in a rough spot. “I’m really at a breakin point!” he wrote of these incidents. “To provide for my family and have generational wealth was always the plan. But money is evil and people are bad and I can’t take it anymore. These chain of reactions are stemming from being locked in a false reality / confused by this whole life! The s**t that happened tonight to me at the awards today was hurtful.

“I’m working backstage and then I go take a break in the back and BET wouldn’t let me back in for some reason,” Ray J concluded. “I don’t know who they didn’t want me to see. It was weird. Anyway I left and went back to silence my frustrations. Flashing back to my everyday thought of my life. The [given] truth is a LIE!”

Luenell Asks Al Reynolds If He Disclosed That He Was Gay To Star Jones When They First Got Married

June 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Al Reynolds, the ex-husband of Star Jones, is speaking the truth. After coming out as bisexual in 2017, Reynolds, who was married to the former co-host of The View from 2004 to 2008, recently said that all of his previous relationships were aware of his sexual orientation. On the most recent episode of Fox Soul’s Tea-G-I-F, comedian Luenell, co-host Reynolds, Claudia Jordan, and guest co-host hasd a discussion. They discussed whether or not transgender people should disclose their gender identification to a potential partner. In his comments, Reynolds, 55, stated that he doesn’t think it’s “easy” for someone to report it. He said, “There’s so many moving factors around this.”

After bringing up Reynolds’ prior marriage to Jones, 62, Luenell questioned him about his sexual orientation. “Did you come out and expose yourself to Star when you first got married?” Reynolds replied, “Oh my goodness, I have never been not truthful with anybody that I’ve dated.” He continued, “I’ve talked about this on this platform before. I have always been very honest with all of my partners about my sexuality … all of them. At the time that I dated them, I’ve been very open and honest about my sexuality.”

Luenell Asks Al Reynolds If Star Jones Knew He Was Gay When They Got Married

Luenell asked Reynolds a deeply personal question. In 2017, Reynolds came out to the public in an interview with Radar Online. He revealed that he was prepared to share his tale. Even if a lot of people had been “speculating” about his sexual orientation. “I have come to a point in my life where I am ready to discuss my truth,” he said in part. “I wasn’t ready to do this then — I wasn’t even ready to think about it, let alone process it,” he said at the time. He continued, “Today I accept myself as a bisexual man. I have learned that sexual orientation is not binary, at least for me. I am capable of loving both sexes, and I have done both,” he added.

Reynolds said in 2017, “My relationships, all of them, have been honest and based on my attraction to the other person. When I am in love I don’t equivocate, nor do I waver.” With the intention of assisting others, he stated he made the decision to come out at that point, declaring, “I will not live in fear or shame any longer.” Ricardo Lugo, an administrative law judge, and Jones got married after that. The couple renewed their vows last year after meeting online and being married in 2018. Overall, the question asked by Luenell has been answered strongly by Al Reynolds.

Luenell Blasts Diddy After Video Of Abuse Surfaces Online

May 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Recently, a video purportedly showing Sean “Diddy” Combs abusing his ex-girlfriend Cassie in a hotel corridor went viral. The video, which dates from March 5, 2016, was exclusively obtained by CNN in the midst of Diddy’s continuing accusations. Comedian and actress Luenell released a statement in reaction to the video leak. She claims that Black women are the most “disrespected” group in society. The comedian made a strong response to the video of abuse that made waves on social media this weekend.

On Instagram, Diddy has responded in a formal manner. He expresses regret for his behavior in a video and says he has subsequently sought professional assistance. He says, “It’s so hard to think back on the worst periods of your life, but sometimes you just have to.” “I was f*cked up — I hit rock bottom — but I make no excuses.” Luenell said, “If Diddy had smacked JLo like that, drag her down the hallway, he’d been in jail eight years ago.” The comedian went on to say much more. Luenell is fed up with Diddy’s abuse.

Luenell has expressed her thoughts on social media in the wake of the recently surfaced video. The video shows Diddy appearing to abuse his ex-girlfriend Cassie in a hotel corridor. The alleged event happened eight years ago. She stated that Sean Combs would have been incarcerated long ago if he had been shown on tape abusing Jennifer Lopez. The comedian went on to say, “Y’all will believe when we say that Black women are the most disrespected, underserved, under-believed women in society.”

According to Luenell, Diddy would likewise be in jail if he had done the same to a “snow bunny” or a “white woman with blonde hair and blue eyes.” However, since Cassie was a woman of color, he was able to continue living a free life. The comic clarified that women didn’t “report” assaults since their claims were never taken seriously. According to Luenell, Cassie became “involved” with Combs before to reaching adulthood. This fact exacerbated her situation and made it “so much easier to walk away” for Combs and “not catch a case.” Overall, Luenell concluded, “I feel so bad for Cassie. She’s married now, she got children, she’s living her life, but she’s like, ‘I’m gonna go stand up, if this sh*t is going to go down.” Luenell is fed up with Diddy and everything that has been alleged.

Luenell Wants “Club Shay Shay” Interview, Shoots Her Shot With Shannon Sharpe

January 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Luenell had a risque proposal for Shannon Sharpe as she declared her intention to appear on Club Shay Shay. “Hey @clubshayshay, I like private planes too. Lemme [know if you want] a lil mid-air kitty kat (meow). Oh well, we can talk about it when I come on the show one day,” the comedian posted on Instagram. “@clubshayshay @shannonsharpe84 #LueNatiks tag him & let him know I stand on BUSINESS,” she added as a rallying cry caption.

Luenell’s offer comes as the world continues to come to terms with the interview done by her School Dance co-star Katt Williams. Williams went absolutely scorched earth on the entertainment industry, especially taking aim at the likes of Ludacris and Kevin Hart. After the interview went live (and immediately viral), Sharpe took The Nightcap that he knew Williams was going to be the one that broke the internet.

Katt Williams Hits Ludacris With A Freestyle As Club Shay Shay Beef Continues

Meanwhile, Williams has continued to feud with Luda weeks after the interview dropped. Williams dropped a freestyle aimed at Luda while appearing on Suge Knight’s Collect Call podcast. “I’m coming for your number one spot, one of us a killer and the other one is not/ One of us the realest and the other one a fraud/ You heard the interview on ‘Club Shay Shay,’ I gave ’em all a payday/ I’m still going f-cking viral so who care what the haters say/ Ludacris, you must be out your rabid a– mind/ You made a rap song but, n-gga, you ain’t say I’m f-cking lying,” Williams rapped. Furthermore, Williams implied that Ludacris had engaged in a sexual relationship with Quincy Jones.

Previously, Ludacris had dropped a freestyle aimed at Williams after the comedian suggested that Luda had earned his role in the Fast & Furious franchise after participating in an Illuminati ritual. “So there was a crossroads where we were both invited to an Illuminati thing, and it had to be one or the other of us and decisions had to be made. So it was both of us, we were equal. One of us had to cut off all their hair and couldn’t do the sideburn thing no more, with the points. And the next person they said was going to get $200 million because they were going to pay him $10 million a movie to do 20 movies. And that’s how the conversation happened. One of those persons turned out to be Ludacris, and the other person turned out to be Katt Williams,” Williams claimed.

Luenell’s Diddy Disdain On Display As She Draws Devil Horns On Picture Of Him

December 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s former assistant apparently isn’t the only one calling him a “devil” amid various sexual misconduct and assault allegations and lawsuits. Moreover, Luenell recently uploaded a video of her in an undisclosed office space, one that features a framed picture of him at an awards show. She took a Sharpie and drew a mustache on the New York business titan– as well as devil horns– and walked off with a shrug. “Nuff said, boy bye. #Justice4KP,” the comedian wrote as her Instagram post’s caption. It’s a short, almost wordless, and no-frills video that makes her stance on this clear, and not many celebrities have spoken out against him in such a clear and convicted way.

Furthermore, for those wondering, we’d bet on the “KP” in that hashtag being Kim Porter, who was Diddy’s former partner. Tragically, she passed away in 2018 eleven years after their split, but she still had a big impact on his life that he continues to feel the void of to this day. However, the accusations against Sean Combs include claims that he also abused the model, but her absence means it’s a difficult situation to address. Regardless, Luenell clearly wants to do some right by Porter’s suffering, which she thinks is for him to take accountability for what he did wrong.

As previously mentioned, there are few celebrities who have been as outspoken or outright against Diddy as Luenell. But we know from her track record that she isn’t afraid to call out abhorrent behavior, even when it comes to the world of hip-hop. For example, the 64-year-old called out Dr. Dre back in 2021 for being a “notorious woman beater.” That was back when allegations about his attacks weren’t as etched into the history books.

Meanwhile, others like 50 Cent would rather clown Puff Daddy for this misbehavior– or even profit off of it. But there will always be those who take things a step further and burn those industry bridges with their head high. These are all allegations and claims at the end of the day, but it would be dishonest to say this didn’t impact public perception of him a great deal. For more news and the latest updates on Diddy and Luenell, come back to HNHH.

October 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this year, the Wu-Tang Clan legend spoke to Men’s Health about his daily routine and being considered a sex symbol in hip-hop. “I started my journey working out at 4AM in the morning,” Method Man expressed. “I would go to the gym. This had went on for like three months straight. But what I attribute it to is strong discipline and mental capacity to know what I want, and to fight for it every day.

“Put the words together: sex and symbol,” he continued, admitting he loves “every freaking minute” of girls falling head over heels for him, but pushing back on the idea. “What’s the symbol? I’m not doing anything. So what’s the symbol? I don’t want to be that guy. You get to a certain age where you just stop caring, and I think that’s the sexiest thing in the world right there.” For more news and the latest updates on Method Man and Luenell, stick around on HNHH.

Gabrielle Union Dubbed “Black Hollywood Mean Girl” By Claudia Jordan & Luenell In Jason Lee Interview

February 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

If there’s one media personality who’s bound to get our favourite celebrities spilling some tea, it’s Jason Lee. Over the years, the self-proclaimed “culture critic” has become close friends with some of the biggest names in the industry. Now that he’s got a new podcast of his own with REVOLT, he’s been tapping several of them to join him and dish about their personal lives.

The most recent episode arrived on DSPs earlier this week. It finds the host chatting with reality starlet Claudia Jordan and comedian Luenell. Throughout the two-hour-long episode, they touch on topics like locking lips with Donald Trump and the 49-year-old’s potential return to the Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Of course, some juicier topics came up in conversation too, such as the “mean girls” of Black Hollywood. “Gabrielle Union, if you’re watching this, I think you should come on the show and talk about it,” the former pageant queen addressed the Bring It On actress through the camera. Lee then points out that it’s unlikely we’ll see the Nebraska native sit in the hot seat and discuss past drama.

As the conversation continues, both Jordan and Luenell reveal that they’ve had past situations with Union that were never resolved. “It was so insignificant to her, that she would never even remember it,” the latter of the two guests shared. “But it was really f*cked up to me… Think like a man, why don’t you? That’s all Imma say.”

Lee then lists the names of a few prominent figures in Black Hollywood. “Terrence J? La La? Taraji?” all of them earning a “No” response from Luenell. “Hollywood’s not a friendly place sometimes,” Jordan interjects, leading to a debate about the members of the elite’s inner clique. According to the 63-year-old, her younger friend fits in with them because she’s conventionally attractive, whereas she’s left on the “outskirts” due to her unique appearance.

Throughout all of this, the Deal or No Deal model maintains that even with her looks, the inner circle doesn’t f*ck with her. However, she specifically showed love to La La and Taraji P. Henson, noting that there’s no shade between them. Rather, she feels animosity coming from Union, but didn’t want to specifically address the drama from decades ago.

Since The Jason Lee Podcast made its big debut last month, the host has been joined by guests like Cardi B, Blueface and Chrisean Rock. Additionally, he sat down with La La Anthony and Da’Vinchi. As expected, Lee asks plenty of juicy questions, and his co-stars don’t hesitate to spill major tea. For her part, the Invasion of Privacy rapper revealed where she was when finding out about Takeoff’s tragic passing.

During their episode, the Crazy In Love couple dished about Rock’s recent pregnancy announcement and previously leaked sex tape. Read what the BMF actors told Lee during their time on the show here. Finally, listen to Claudia Jordan and Luenell’s full chat below.
