Mark Zuckerberg Claims He Is Eating 4000 Calories A Day In Preparation For Elon Musk Fight

August 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Somehow, the MMA fight between Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk is still in the works. Despite claims that Musk’s mother had nixed the fight, and major logistical issues like their weight disparity, the two men are still seemingly eager to fight one another. Both men have enlisted the help of UFC legends to train with. While Musk has joined forces with Georges St. Pierre, Zuckerberg has been sparring with Israel Adesanya.

Joining Bloomberg reporter Ashley Vance on a Twitter space back in June, Musk was immediately asked about the fight against Zuckerberg. Vance pointed out that Zuckerberg is actively learning Brazilian jiu-jitsu, kickboxing, Muay Thai, wrestling, and boxing. After this preamble, Vance noted that the fight could “go badly” for Musk. Musk would only enter with a height and weight advantage. “Yeah, that’s possible,” Musk conceded before saying that he’s still willing to try and that the fight “might still happen.” Musk has painted himself into a corner. He is unable to retract his challenge without looking like he’s running away from his tech rival.

Zuckerberg Reveals Calorie Intake, McDonald’s Order

Taking to Threads, Zuckerberg revealed his McDonald’s order as part of his training regime to take on Musk. “20 nuggets, a quarter pounder, large fries, Oreo McFlurry, apple pie, and maybe some side cheeseburgers for later?,” the Meta founder said. HotNewHipHop has confirmed via the McDonald’s menu that Zuck’s order (calculating for three cheeseburgers in place of “some side cheeseburgers”) comes to 3390 calories. However, not everyone was impressed by his massive order. “You’re in camp! No McDonalds ,” remarked current UFC fighter Mark David.

“Not cutting weight so I need ~4000 calories a day to offset all the activity. And it’s so delicious…,” Zuck argued. At the time of writing, Zuck is around 85lb lighter than Musk. That’s a four-weight-class difference, with Zuck in featherweight and Musk in light heavyweight. We still don’t have any word on when or where the fight will take place but it appears that Zuck is taking things very seriously in the meantime.

Pusha T Still Cashes In Royalties For The Arby’s Commercial Theme Song

June 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Pusha T’s skills as a rapper are well-documented over a 20-year career. You could talk about his solo albums, the Clipse discography with his brother Malice (now known as No Malice), his diss tracks, his features- but don’t forget his fast food contributions. Moreover, former G.O.O.D. Music executive Steven Victor explained during a recent interview how King Push still gets royalties for the song that sandwich chain Arby’s uses in all its commercials- a track with him and Yogi. Furthermore, as someone who’s worked a lot with the Virginia native, Victor labeled it as one of his best business moves.

“I think convincing Pusha to rap on Yogi’s beat, and it ended up being the theme song for Arby’s,” he stated with a smile when asked about what creative decisions he’s proudest of. “If you watch an Arby’s commercial, at the end of it, it goes, ‘Arby’s- we have the meats!’ That’s the song! They don’t even use Pusha’s part. But they have to pay him, because he owns 50 percent of the song. So, every time they want to sync the song, they have to come to us for approval.”

Steven Victor Explains Pusha T’s Arby’s Royalties

At the time of writing this article, the track “Burial” by Yogi and Pusha T soundtracks Arby’s commercials- and has done so for seven years. While it’s unclear exactly how much the 46-year-old has made as a result, we can imagine it’s quite a lot. What’s more is that he also worked with Arby’s to write and record a diss track against McDonald’s’ Filet-O-Fish. The “Spicy Fish Diss Track” sees the MC go way harder than he ever needed to for it to be good.

In fact, for those unaware, the “Diet Coke” artist has quite the history with McDonald’s, involving yet another jingle. He and his brother wrote the iconic “I’m Lovin’ It” tag in 2003 and got paid a one-time fee with no royalties. Considering that Justin Timberlake received $6 million to record it, they felt cheated out, and thus, Push waged war in the fast-food realm. Talk about a hunger for revenge.

June 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Boosie Badazz recently recalled one particularly unpleasant experience with McDonald’s during a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club. When asked about the bad trip, he explained that he was upset about being given just one sauce packet.

“You know what them fucking people be doing. They did it to you too. Fucking sauces bitches they give you one jelly,” he began. “I’m not doing it, bro. That pissed me off that day because I’ve been going to McDonald’s forever, bro. I get in my feelings with certain shit and it happened in the airport before that.”

Boosie continued: “I’m like, ‘Can I get a couple more jellies?’ She said, ‘You got one biscuit.’ I like my shit sloppy you know I like my shit hanging off when you squeeze that bitch. I feel like they’re not being paid extra to not give you jelly. If you was getting paid an extra fucking fee by me — man, throw two more fucking in the jelly thing this big. You can’t throw three [or] four more jellies? You love your job too fucking much you gon’ be working there a long time, bitch!”

Boosie initially shared his disappointing experience with the fast food chain on social media immediately after the fact. In a video posted last month, he explained that he was trying to get breakfast while on IG Live. “Fucking two-pack? I should go back. Stupid ass. Told her four jellies. She gave me two. I hate when they act like that with fucking jelly,” he said at the time. “That is not your fucking jelly. Fucking jelly. They got so much of that shit in there. Acting like that with the jelly. You ain’t gon’ get no raise for not giving a n***a no jelly.” Despite voicing his frustration, he didn’t go back to complain. Check out the clip of Boosie’s latest comments on the matter above.

Boosie Badazz Triggered At McDonald’s Drive-Through: “Damn You Stingy With The Jelly!”

May 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

A recent clip of Boosie Badazz in the McDonald’s drive-through has been receiving some attention from fans. The funny clip begins with Boosie asking the employee if he had gotten jelly with his order. The McDonald’s employee responds, telling Boosie, “Yeah, it’s in the bag.” He then suspiciously rifles through the bag, sees the jelly, and eyeballs the employee through the window. Pulling away, he says, “Damn you stingy with the jelly!” Adding, “I hate when they act like that with the f***in jelly.” Boosie appears to get gradually more upset, claiming employees are, “Not getting no f***ckin raise to get no f***in jelly.”

Boosie looks down into his bag again, shouting, “two packs… I should go back!” He then angrily pulls out his sandwich, claiming he “told her four jelly.” Then Boosie goes on to express how he doesn’t understand why the employees “act like that with fu***in jelly,” when it’s not even their “f***in jelly.” As he begins to eat, the rapper continues to express his discontentment, saying, “f***in jelly, they got so much of that sh*t in there.”

Boosie Badazz Doesn’t Play About Jelly

Boosie’s tangent was met with the amusement of viewers, who commented along while the rapper went off about his jelly. One user commented, “They better stop playing wit Boosie.” As the comments erupted with laughing emojis, another user wrote that he, “shoulda went back.”

Last week, Boosie also shared his thoughts surrounding Tory Lanez’ charges in the Megan Thee Stallion shooting case. He revealed that if he were Lanez, he would have taken a plea deal in exchange for less prison time. In his interview with VladTV, he said, “If he would have went in there and said he wanted to make a deal, [with] them lawyers he got, he could have been doing time in a facility with damn-near nobody around him.” He then shared his personal experience, saying, “I know a lot of people like that. They was offered 10 years and they didn’t take it. And they end up getting 30.” Boosie added, “I seen it all the time. When I was in [prison] they come in there like, ‘I ain’t doing no 15, mane.’ They end up getting big time. I would have tried to get five years.”

Ice Spice Seen Filming Mystery Project At McDonald’s In New York: Watch

May 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Her discography is still relatively small, having only released her debut EP, Like..? a few months ago. Regardless, Ice Spice is clearly one of the biggest names in female rap right now. For instance, she’s already collaborated with the likes of Lil Tjay and Nicki Minaj. Less than a year after she initially blew up, the 23-year-old has consistently beat the “one-hit wonder” allegation attached to her following the arrival of “Munch (Feelin’ U),” and it doesn’t look as though she plans to stop anytime soon.

Her latest musical release came in the form of the “Princess Diana (Remix)” with the Queen of Rap last month. Since then, we’ve also heard some throwaway titles, such as “Like,” surface online, as well as Spice’s promise of her first album dropping later in 2023. She’s mostly kept busy with public appearances at the Met Gala and in Italy as of late. However, fans also spotted the lyricist out and about in New York City recently. At the time, she appeared to be filming something for an upcoming mystery project.

Ice Spice Takes Over NYC

In one clip shared on TikTok, Spice stands in the middle of a lush, green park. Cameras – both at the hands of professionals and fans – are all around her. She appears calm while standing in the midst of chaos, carrying a small fuzzy purse and wearing pants that use a trompe l’oeil effect to accentuate her famously curvy figure. In another video that’s circulating, the Bronx Baddie makes an appearance at a McDonald’s in Fordham. There, she seemingly takes direction from a production team member while sipping on a small drink.

While some in the replies are expressing disappointment in the rap diva’s style choices, others are curious to find out the details of what she’s been so hard at work on in NYC. Are you excited to see what Isis Gaston has in store for the Spice Cabinet next? Let us know in the comments, and tap back in with HNHH later for more pop culture/hip-hop news updates.

Bronny James Jr. Performs Epic Dunk Over His Brother Bryce: Watch

March 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Bronny James Jr. is currently in the midst of making a big decision about his future. Overall, it appears as though he is down to three colleges. Those programs are USC, Oregon, and Ohio State. No matter where he goes, he will be the most high-profile player in all of college basketball. Consequently, the expectations are going to be high, and there will be all sorts of NBA chatter. After all, his dad has made it clear that he wants to play with him. That would be an incredible sight to see, and we will likely get to bare witness to it as early as Fall 2024.

Firstly, Bronny must compete in the McDonald’s All-American game today. It is a showcase of some of the best high school talents in the country. Although this won’t affect his recruitment, there is no denying he will want to have a good showing. He is playing the best in the country, and the fans want to see him hold his own. Yesterday, that is exactly what he did in the Powerade JamFest. This is a dunk contest that allows for the selected teenagers to showcase just how creative they can be.

Bronny Continues To Impress

Bronny certainly made an amazing impression with his efforts throughout the competition. His best dunk involved his younger brother Bryce, who was used as a prop of sorts. In the video up above, you can see Bronny jump over his brother for the slam. Overall, it was a spectacular display of athleticism. Moreover, Savannah James was in the crowd and she immediately gave her son a 10/10. Unfortunately, Bronny was unable to win the showcase as he missed his final attempts in the last round.

No matter what, Bronny was able to show the fans that he can do incredible things with the basketball. Perhaps we will even get to see him in the dunk contest one day. A G-League star won it this past year, so it’s not like Bronny would be out of place as a youngster in the league. Let us know what you thought of his dunks, in the comments down below.

Bronny James Jr. Is All Smiles While Posing With McDonald’s All-American Jersey

March 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Bronny James Jr. is by far the most prominent high school basketball player in the entire country right now. Although he may not be the highest-ranking recruit, he certainly has name recognition. Over the last four years, Bronny has been playing ball for Sierra Canyon High School in California. The young star has made tremendous strides as a player and now finds himself as a five-star recruit. However, he has yet to decide where he wants to play college ball, which has led to quite a bit of speculation.

Additionally, Bronny is already being projected as a top-10 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft. LeBron wants to play with his son, and it has ultimately raised his son’s stock. That said, the 18-year-old is just trying to focus on the things he can control. For instance, he was recently selected to play in the McDonald’s All-American Game. This is a huge honor for any high school player as he will now get to play alongside the best high school players in the entire country. For many, this could be an indication of how good Bronny really is.

Bronny James Jr. Poses With Family

This week, Bronny was able to pick up his threads for the big game. James will be wearing the number 23, which is appropriate given who his father is. Typically, he wears the number zero, however, he is switching things up for his match. In the photos above, you can see Bronny posing with his new jersey. One image showcases him next to Savannah while at a McDonald’s. Secondly, there is another photo where he is all smiles next to Savannah, LeBron, and his younger brother Bryce.

As it stands, there is a ton of fanfare surrounding Bronny and what he will do next. Despite this pressure, he has done a great job of navigating his current situation. He is receiving amazing guidance from LeBron, and we’re sure he will make the right choice as far as colleges go. Let us know where you want to see James play, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.

Cardi B Models McDonald’s-Inspired Merch

March 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Cardi B, the Grammy award-winning rapper, has once again caught the attention of her fans. Her new McDonald’s inspired merchandise is driving fans crazy. The rapper, who has a long-standing love for McDonald’s, took to Instagram to share her latest collection with her followers. In a series of posts, Cardi B can be seen posing in various McDonald’s themed outfits. Only Cardi B can make clothing based on fast food look high fashion. The rapper looks glamorous and completely in her element as she shows off the new line.

In her new collection, fans can make outfits through a series of shirts, hoodies, shorts, and beanies. There are also swimsuit and legging options. Almost every article of clothing has a reference to McDonald’s in some way. In Cardi’s Instagram post, she can even be seen wearing red and yellow heels. The yellow and red bear a similar color scheme to McDonald’s brand. The fact that Cardi has McDonald’s-inspired clothes that are not part of her collection shows how much of a fan she is.

A post shared by Cardi B (@iamcardib)

Cardi B is no stranger to working with McDonald’s. In fact, many celebrities will pair with the fast food chain to promote themselves. However, Cardi remains a devoted fan to the franchise, despite any backlash she may receive. Her partner Offset also shares her enthusiasm for McDonald’s. Currently, the pair is in a deal with the franchise and have their own McDonald’s meal available to buy. There has been some back and forth between the couple and the company, however. Many people believe that neither Cardi B nor Offset represents the family-friendly brand.

But Cardi’s new merchandise line shows she has no intention of slowing down. She has caught the attention of not just her fans, but her peers as well. Many people are taking to social media to tell Cardi B how good she looks. Although there has been some outrage regarding the Cardi and Offset meal, McDonald’s stands by its decision. This is most likely a good decision, as Cardi’s devotion is consistently driving traffic in their direction.
