Killer Mike Reveals Why He & His Wife Were Secretly Married For Years

April 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Killer Mike recently recalled admitting to his wife Shana’s family that the two were secretly married for years. While appearing on the Off Menu podcast with hosts Ed Gamble and James Acaster, Mike explained how the marriage came to be and why they chose to keep it private.

“Within the first two weeks (of dating) I asked her to marry me and she was like, ‘Get the f*ck out of here. You’re a rapper.’ So, after about four or five years, we got really high in Vegas, and really drunk, and I pled my love to her, and we got married in a f*cking drive-through marriage thing with our cab driver as our witness, and then we didn’t tell anybody we were married for nine years,” Mike told Ed and James. “We’ve been married seventeen years now. So, for nine years no one knew, and then we finally had to tell her family – because her family is from Hilton Head Island (in South Carolina) and they’re very traditional… a tight-knit Black family, similar to mine.”

Afterward, he explained he needed Shana’s family’s blessing to build a property and the truth had to come out. “We were talking about building on some land here, we’d like to put a house here, and they were like, ‘Nah, you’re just f*ckingon our niece. What are you gonna do to take it seriously?’” he further recalled. “I was like, ‘Well, we’re already married.’” Luckily for them, the family wasn’t too upset. “No one really likes going to weddings,” Mike joked before adding: “The food is usually sh*tty.” Check out Mike’s full comments below.

Ari Fletcher & Moneybagg Yo Are Happily “Married,” She Claims An Hour After Calling Herself Single

April 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Late last month, Moneybagg Yo’s longtime partner Ari Fletcher took to Twitter/X to announce that she was “single,” sparking a bit of confusion. Her announcement arrived just after the release of his track with Rob49, “Bussin,” and its nearly NSFW accompanying music video starring Ari. “F*ck that song and that video,” she wrote in a subsequent Tweet. It took fans by surprise, but the rapper’s reaction indicated that they were still very much an item.

“Never,” he responded alongside a series of laughing emojis, later sharing a heartfelt statement about the personality. “I Got Da Utmost respect for u,” he said. “We be in our own world not da one they live in ! We just be enjoying & having fun wit da sh*t Teamwork make dream work ! So for Anybody got some to say or against it Stfu & keep running us up !!”

It appears as though Ari wasn’t entirely sure, however. Yesterday, she hopped on Twitter/X once again, claiming to be single and asking fans for some advice. “I never been single for the summer but since I am now. What can I expect,” she wondered. Of course, commenters had some solid tips on embracing her new relationship status in the coming months, but it didn’t last long. Only about an hour later she reclaimed her relationship with Moneybagg Yo, even telling followers they’re happily married. “We married. Love you bae @moneybaggyo,” she declared.

It remains unclear what prompted all of Ari’s recent indecisiveness when it comes to her relationship, but either way, fans are glad that she’s settled on sticking with Moneybagg. What do you think of Ari Fletcher claiming that she’s single and then walking back her statement? Why do you think she keeps changing her mind?

Lil Scrappy Admits He’d “Definitely Marry” Erica Dixon Following Bambi Divorce

March 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Scrappy and Erica Dixon have been fueling reunion rumors for months now. It doesn’t look like the former is too opposed to the idea, either. During a recent Instagram Live, the performer chatted with fans about their relationship, comparing it to his last. It’s no secret that his divorce from Bambi got pretty messy, but viewers were still pretty surprised by what he said next.

“I would definitely get married to Erica,” he revealed. “I need something solid when I get married… like something real solid.” Scrappy continued, describing how he wants to be sure he knows the next person he marries as well as possible. “I want to know the person,” he explained, “be friends with them or something.”

As expected, commenters on the stream were quick to call Scrappy out, pressing him for more details of his and Dixon’s current arrangement. “I’m not saying Erica’s not solid, I’m just saying like, we’re just not together,” he responded. “That’s my friend.” While Scrappy and Dixon continue to deny rumors they’ve rekindled their romance, some of their latest social media posts have left fans suspicious, particularly a few fun vacation shots.

At the end of last month, the duo took a trip to Aruba together, sharing various clips and photos of the tropical getaway with their Instagram followers. Supporters noticed that their daughter didn’t appear to join them on the trip, and that Scrappy’s post was accompanied by some romantic music. Obviously, they couldn’t help but speculate, despite them insisting they’re nothing more than co-parents. What do you think of Lil Scrappy claiming that he’d “definitely” tie the knot with Erica Dixon? Are you surprised? Do you think the two of them should make things official again or not?

“Who TF Did I Marry”: Reesa Teesa’s Ex Considering Lawsuit Against Viral TikToker

February 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

February is typically considered one of the most romantic months of the year, but that doesn’t mean the news cycle has been devoid of relationship drama and celebrity breakups. For instance, Princess Love has filed for divorce from her man, Ray J, marking the couple’s fourth attempt at splitting up. Meanwhile, a TikToker named Teresa Johnson (known as Reesa Teesa online) broke the internet with her lengthy storytime about an allegedly tumultuous marriage to a man named Jerome McCoy. Throughout her 50+ videos exploring their less-than-a-year-long marriage, Johnson refers to him as “Legion” while accusing her ex-husband of telling tall tales about his career, family, and wealth during their time together.

In a conversation with TMZ, McCoy is sharing his side of things, claiming that Reesa Teesa once threatened to “expose” him as they were navigating trust issues. Because he failed to give into her demands, Legion says that his ex is only speaking out to spite him. He’s currently feeling backlash in his personal life as a result of the popular TikTok series that defames him, specifically in his career as a public relations employee at a hospital. According to the outlet, McCoy met with attorneys on Monday (February 26) to discuss his options for taking legal action against the content creator.

His company reportedly believes they’ve incurred damage from Reesa Teesa’s exposé, and Legion is supportive of any legal action they choose to take. His stance on pursuing private counsel remains unknown right now, but the embattled man makes it clear he’s not the monster his former partner is portraying him to be. We’re curious to see what will happen next for these two, whether it be a Tubi movie about the fiasco, or a court battle to settle their differences.

Elsewhere in the news, the music landscape on TikTok is changing dramatically thanks to the platform’s failure to reach an agreement with major music labels. Still, we can’t forget all the songs that unexpectedly went viral online thanks to creatives using them on TikTok.

Porsha Williams Moves To Divorce Simon Guobadia After 15 Months Of Marriage

February 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

PEOPLE just broke some shocking news based on reportedly obtained court documents that show Porsha Williams filed for divorce from her partner Simon Guobadia. Moreover, this came as a shock considering their constant praise of each other on social media and the fact that they tied the knot at two lavish ceremonies just 15 months ago. Not only that, but this news report also claims, through an alleged source close to the couple, that this split has nothing to do with allegations about his citizenship status. At press time, no details exist concerning the root of this rift, and a supposed insider claimed that this is an “ongoing matter.”

Furthermore, Porsha Williams and Simon Guobadia, 42 and 59 years of age respectively, celebrated their union twice. The first was a vow exchange at a traditional Nigerian native law and custom ceremony, and they held a Western gathering in Atlanta in November of 2022. If you recall some key moments from the past few years around this relationship, such as Wendy Williams’ mocking critique of Guobadia, then you know that this fling was a relatively scandalous one. Whether any of this social media gossip had anything to do with their actual fallout remains unknown.

In addition, folks may remember that this couple has a lot of baggage and potential conflict behind it. After all, Simon Guobadia is the ex-husband of one of Porsha Williams’ co-stars on Real Housewives of Atlanta, Falynn Guobadia. As such, there was a lot of discussion around their relationship dynamic, how this would affect the show, and how messy this could all turn out. Given what little we know of this split at the moment, these debates aged quite interestingly, as what were once assumptions are now theories.

Hopefully the nature of this decision isn’t based on criminal abuse or harmful actions, as Williams sadly has experience with a lot of romantic horrors. But what do you think about this sudden split and the context behind it? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section down below. Also, stay posted on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Porsha Williams.

Chilli Responds To Usher Over Rejected Marriage Proposal: Report

February 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Usher’s recent interview with PEOPLE, published Thursday (February 15), saw him reflect on the heartbreak of TLC signer Chilli turning down his hand for marriage after years of dating back in 2004. However, according to the outlet’s reportedly close source to her, she doesn’t really see it as that big of a deal. Moreover, the publication claimed via this alleged source that the 52-year-old vocalist “is unbothered by the recent hoopla involving her past relationship.” It’s unclear exactly what that means, and whether or not the Super Bowl halftime performer should feel good or bad about that statement, but it seems like it’s all just a thing of the past and doesn’t warrant any old wounds opening back up.

“I was her number one fan, and she was my superstar,” Usher told PEOPLE. “At the age of 8, I put her poster on my wall and said, ‘Man, that girl is so beautiful. One day, I’m going to meet her.’ I was a young man, and she had very specific rules that didn’t work for me. We were missing each other.

“I really did want to have a different type of relationship where she was there with me, and she couldn’t be,” Usher continued. “She didn’t believe that I was actually in love with her as much as I was. I wanted to marry her, I proposed. She said to me, ‘No.’ I went through a great deal of pain after that. Not trusting women or wanting to open up. I hurt her too, but the situation broke my heart.” However, it’s not the only past flame that came up in the Confessions star’s life recently. His ex Tameka Foster pulled up to his halftime show last Sunday in support of his spectacle.

Meanwhile, we know that the Dallas native is in a much happier romantic place in his life right now. He and longtime girlfriend Jennifer Goicoechea married earlier this month, and it’s great to see him celebrate that. We’ll see if there’s anything else left over from this recent look into his relationship history. With that in mind, stay posted on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Usher.

Usher Recalls Chilli Turning Down Marriage Proposal

February 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Usher has a lot to celebrate these days: a new album, a Super Bowl halftime show, a new wife, and so much more. He recently spoke to PEOPLE for a cover story to unpack much of this, and also to look back on his legendary career and notable life trajectory leading up to this point. Moreover, the Dallas native might be in a pretty great place right now, but it wasn’t always like this, especially back when he was young and in love. During this interview, he reflected on his three-year-long relationship with TLC’s Chilli, who broke his heart when she rejected his marriage proposal.

“I was a young man, and she had very specific rules that didn’t work for me,” Usher told the publication. “I wanted to marry her, I proposed and she said to me, ‘No,’ I went through a great deal of pain after that. Not trusting women or wanting to open up. I hurt her too, but the situation broke my heart.” Given that even his ex-wife Tameka Foster went to the Super Bowl to support her former flame, we can at least assume that he can still keep up amicable and healthy relationships with his exes despite their history.

Meanwhile, all this hype and excitement is also manifesting itself in more formal ways for the 45-year-old. For example, upon his return to Atlanta, he got the city’s Phoenix Award for his service to it, got a spot of the Black Entertainment and Music Walk of Fame, and Fulton County recognized February 14 as “Usher Day.” “Atlanta is a city of belief,” he remarked during the award ceremony. “Atlanta is a city that allowed me to be that Phoenix to rise. It is a city that has allowed me to have the tenacity to go out and share this culture that I found when I was here.”

Apparently, that’s not it for the multi-hyphenate artist. With a TV series based on his music reportedly on the way, we can only expect him to get bigger and bigger. What’s been your favorite part of this recent renaissance? Let us know in the comments and check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Usher.
