August 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Hip-hop losses another fan-favorite name. According to an update from New York Post, New York City rapper and iconic hype man Fatman Scoop has passed away after suffering a medical emergency onstage. The “Be Faithful” MC was the headlining act at the Green & Gold Party in Hamden, Connecticut. Horror struck about an hour and change into his performance which was scheduled to begin around 7:15 p.m. last night. Scoop was walking around shirtless on the stage and eventually made his way behind the DJ’s booth. Seconds after doing so, the 53-year-old then suddenly fell behind the table and out of view of the spectators. Chest compressions were administered to Fatman Scoop, but sadly to no avail. According to TMZ Hip Hop the crowd quickly became silent and they said that authorities were sent out to help around 8:33 p.m.

After CPR didn’t do the trick, the rapper was carried out on a stretcher to a local hospital. There is currently no word on what caused his death or how long he lasted when he arrived. At this time, we ask that you please remain respectful to the loved ones of Fatman Scoop, and we are sending our condolences out as well. While he wasn’t a hitmaker or uber-popular name, he was undoubtedly a legend for his unique and fun personality.

“Baddies East”: Smiley Responds To Cast & Fans Over “Fake” Medical Emergency

January 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The cast of Baddies East recently went to Jamaica during the reality television show’s latest episode. Moreover, they obviously got into their fair share of fun, club outings, clashes, fights, and other antics that are the lifeblood of the program. However, one particular incident has many fans scratching their heads, whether it’s due to skepticism of to the veracity of it or shock at the idea that people would doubt such a thing. Furthermore, Smiley apparently had a medical emergency after taking three or four shots of alcohol that prompted a seizure and immediate transportation to the hospital for medical attention.

Still, there were a lot of people who doubted that this was real, and who suggested that Smiley faked this reaction. Not only that, but this didn’t only come from fans, but from fellow cast members on Baddies East such as Chrisean Rock’s sister Tesehki. Mariahlynn also said that this was likely an overreaction and that she was making a big fuss about it, and we know that the two don’t have the best of relationships. Overall, it seems like a lot of drama for something that, even if it was fake, should’ve been treated with all the respect and care in the world.

Speaking of which, Smiley took to social media to tearfully react to all these doubts and attacks in a new video. “Y’all don’t know how this s**t feel, bro,” she expressed in a clip that surfaced on TikTok. “Y’all don’t know how I’m feeling, y’all didn’t see how this s**t feel, bro. I don’t even know what was going on. I did not know what the f**k was going on in this f***ing s**t. It was, like, I was so nervous for this s**t to come on. And then I’m seeing all these comments, and I have to sit here and watch this s**t? Bruh, my grandma, everybody is watching this, bruh, this s**t…”

September 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kourtney Kardashian revealed on Instagram, Wednesday, that she is recovering from urgent fetal surgery. The news comes after Blink-182 announced that they’d be postponing tour shows in Europe due to a family matter. In her post, Kardashian thanked her doctors as well as Travis Barker for rushing to be by her side.

“I will be forever grateful to my incredible doctors for saving our baby’s life,” she began. “I am eternally grateful to my husband who rushed to my side from tour to be with me in the hospital and take care of me afterwards, my rock. And to my mom, thank you for holding my hand through this.”

Kourtney continued: “As someone who has had three really easy pregnancies in the past, I wasn’t prepared for the fear of rushing into urgent fetal surgery. I don’t think anyone who hasn’t been through a similar situation can begin to understand that feeling of fear. I have a whole new understanding and respect for the mamas who have had to fight for their babies while pregnant. Praise be to God. Walking out of the hospital with my baby boy in my tummy and safe was the truest blessing.” Fans shared plenty of supportive messages in the comments section. Check out the full post below.

John Boyega Says Jamie Foxx Is “All Good” Following Health Scare

July 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In April, Jamie Foxx was hospitalized following a medical emergency. Since then, updates on the status of his health have been few and far between. Moreover, the updates the public has received have been on the vague side, with various family members and friends of Foxx’s claiming he’s doing fine. Foxx has yet to make a public statement on his own health, and he hasn’t been seen since the reported health scare. Rumors even circulated that suggested Foxx was partially paralyzed, blind, and more. Those rumors were eventually squashed by family members, who claimed they were false. The actor was also reported to have suffered a stroke, which has not been confirmed.

According to one of Foxx’s co-stars of the film They Cloned Tyrone, the actor is doing okay. During a recent interview with ET Canada, John Boyega was asked about the status of Foxx’s health. When the outlet asked him whether or not he’s spoken to Foxx lately, he responded, “He’s all good. He’s all good.” He went on to say, “So we’re just going to wait for him to reappear when he wants to.” Another one of his They Cloned Tyrone co-stars, Teyonah Parris, added “Giving people space to heal how they need to.”

Last month, Nick Cannon filled in for Foxx on Beat Shazam following his hospitalization. When asked during an interview to give a health update on the actor, he said Foxx will address the public himself “when he’s ready.” He went on to describe how much Foxx values his professionalism and privacy.

“He’s handled this situation with the same manner,” Cannon explained, “you only can respect that.” According to reports, Foxx has been undergoing treatment at a physical rehabilitation center in Chicago. Family members say that the actor has been “recovering well.”

MF DOOM’s Wife Left With Medical Questions After Rapper’s Unexpected 2020 Death

July 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The three-year anniversary of British-American artist MF DOOM’s death is coming this fall. Thankfully, hip-hop refuses to let his legacy die. Stars like The Weeknd, continue to pay homage to Daniel Dumile in their own performances. Elsewhere, his widow, Jasmin, is doing what she can to seek answers for her husband’s untimely passing. According to Leeds Live, DOOM had been prescribed a new medication to treat his kidney disease and other health concerns. This ultimately led the rapper to struggle with weight gain and anxiety.

Jasmin says that after only two doses, the “Rhymes Like Dimes” artist developed breathing problems that brought him to the local A&E department. At the time, his tongue and throat began to swell. This seems to have tragically played a factor in DOOM’s death. Jasmin has concerns about the treatment her husband received at St. James Hospital, including his “buzzer” being out of reach. Due to this, Dumile was apparently unable to alert medical staff about his deteriorating condition. Instead, he had to phone Jasmin in distress as his swelling became worse.

RIP MF DOOM

When speaking to the Wakefield Coroner’s Court, DOOM’s widow mentioned that his room at the hospital looked as though it may have previously been used for storage. She was unable to see him throughout most of his illness due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but Jasmin still did what she could to help from home. “I was not able to see him until the 31st (of October) – that’s when the respirator was turned off that was helping him breathe,” she emotionally admitted.

Little more than a week before, Dumile had reportedly complained about an inability to breathe. He attempted to get off his bed but ultimately collapsed and suffered a respiratory arrest. In light of the prolific artist’s death, the hospital trust carried out a “serious incident investigation” to pinpoint what lessons could be learned. Since posthumous appearances from MF DOOM are understandably rare, we’ve compiled a list of other rappers with a similar vibe for you to enjoy.

Jamie Foxx’s Mansion Under Construction Amid His Recovery

June 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Back in April, Jamie Foxx suffered a still unknown health crisis while filming a movie. Since then updates on the actors condition have come sparingly. The only statement he’s made himself was a brief one back in May. Foxx posted to his Instagram story with a message to his fans that read “Appreciate all the love!!! Feeling blessed.” Representatives for Foxx also had to make a public statement confirming that his medical complication has nothing to do with his Covid vaccinations status.

Now the newest development in Jamie Foxx’s ongoing recovery has to do with construction that’s being done on his mansion. According to Page Six, his 17,000-square foot mansion has been undergoing renovations recently. Pictures they received from his house show a large dumpster filled with construction materials in the mansions back yard. It’s unclear what renovations are being done to the mansion at this time. It’s also unclear whether or not this is where Jamie Foxx has spent much of his recovery time.

Man of the updates on Foxx’s condition have come from his daughter Corinne. She denied a report that his health had taken a turn for the worse. Instead she said he was recuperating and even added that he had “been out of the hospital for weeks.”

Jamie Foxx’s co-star Porscha Coleman also commented on his wellbeing earlier this week. She said that the actor is “doing well” and that privacy had always been important to him. Fans may never know for sure what exactly happened to Foxx given all the conflicting reports. At the very least he has projects planned and still in production going forward. What do you think about the renovations being made to Jamie Fox’s house during his ongoing recovery? Let us know in the comment section below.

Dionne Warwick Cancels Shows Because Of “Medical Incident”

June 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Dionne Warwick has canceled several upcoming performances due to a “medical incident.” Concertgoers will be issued refunds for tickets for shows scheduled June 22-24. The 82-year-old R&B/soul legend is said to be recovering from a “minor medical incident” according to Entertainment Tonight. As such, her planned show at the Rivers Casino Des Plaines near Chicago will not proceed as scheduled. It was supposed to take place next weekend. Future dates in New York and Delaware in July have not yet been fully addressed. ET also said that the legendary artist is “on the mend.”

In recent years, Warwick has experienced a resurgence of interest. This is largely due to her humorous and charming presence on Twitter. Her witty commentary on various topics has endeared her to younger fans. Warwick has shown admiration for Taylor Swift. She has made playful jabs at The Weeknd and Chance The Rapper’s stage names. The legend has also expressed a hilarious lack of familiarity with Billie Eilish. This has led young fans to explore her timeless music. Her catalogue includes Grammy Hall of Fame hits like “Alfie,” “Don’t Make Me Over,” and “Walk On By.”

Dionne Warwick Is The Fun Twitter Auntie We All Need

Dionne Warwick may be a music legend, but she also has a hilariously fierce attitude online. Back when Wendy Williams was still on the air, the legend even called her out by name on Twitter. “A friend alerted me that Wendy Williams was spending a lot of not nice time speaking on me,” Warwick tweeted. “I tuned in to her show to catch the last few minutes of her speaking about me and as in the past, she seems not to be able to speak without maliciously made comments.” Warwick had some advice for Wendy, however: “There’s an old saying you can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar!”

Embracing her reputation as a classic jokester, Warwick has also playfully joked about becoming Twitter’s new CEO. She even followed up on a collaboration with Chance The Rapper. Her Twitter is really a goldmine of hilarity and sass. However, there is one topic she prefers not to address: the recent feud between fellow R&B pioneer Anita Baker and former tour opener Babyface. When asked by Lil Duval to intervene and resolve the conflict, Warwick responded with a dismissive tone. “Baby, that ain’t got nothing to do with me,” she said. Stay tuned to HNHH for the latest updates.

Jamie Foxx Still Hospitalized, Family Prepares For Worst: Report

May 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jamie Foxx has really been going through it. Last month, while filming a new Netflix film, the actor was hospitalized for a still-undisclosed “medical complication.” The production of the film, titled Back In Action, was already dealing with a number of serious issues. Though Foxx’s representatives and family members assured the public that he was in stable, recovering condition, fans remained concerned. Close friends of the actor also urged fans to pray for his recovery. However, Foxx recently posted on Instagram for the first time since his hospitalization. While this brought some relief, sources close to Foxx revealed that he was still in the same condition as before.

Earlier this week, it was reported to People Magazine that the actor’s condition had stabilized and that he is no longer in a life-threatening situation. Still, he remains in the hospital. The reports also said that doctors were conducting more tests to ensure that he was okay before discharging him. Apparently, once Foxx is discharged, he has been advised to keep his stress levels down. This indicated that he may need additional time to recover at home. Today, however, sources close to the actor are reporting that his family is allegedly preparing for the worst.

Has Foxx Taken A Turn For The Worse?

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

Jamie Foxx’s health has been the subject of much debate since he was hospitalized last month. There have been conflicting reports about the actor’s condition. Despite his team claiming that he is doing okay and improving, insiders have said that he wouldn’t be in the hospital for so long if that were true. At the time of the incident, Foxx’s 29-year-old daughter announced that he experienced a “medical complication,” but did not provide details. Jamie himself posted on Instagram that he was doing well and thanked his fans for their prayers, but some social media users are skeptical about whether he posted it himself.

According to a new report from Radar Online, Foxx’s family is now preparing for the worst possible outcome. It is unclear what could have changed that led to this update. The original medical issue still has not been revealed to the public. However, if the actor was told to keep stress levels down, it is likely that he experienced a stroke of some sort. What do you think of the new update on Jamie Foxx’s health? Let us know in the comments below! As always, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest updates.

Jamie Foxx’s Instagram Active For First Time Since Hospitalization

May 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Barring the recently-begun WGA strikes, the hospitalization of Jamie Foxx is the biggest saga in Hollywood right now. The veteran actor reportedly suffered a stroke on the set of the Netflix action-comedy Back In Action. He has been in an Atlanta hospital ever since. Foxx has three projects releasing this year – Strays, God Is A Bullet, and They Cloned Tyrone. Back In Action is one of five projects Foxx is involved in that do not have a release date.

While a number of famous figures, such as Martin Lawrence and Nick Cannon, have reportedly spoken with Foxx, the actor himself has not given a statement since he was hospitalized. Cannon has also taken over Foxx’s presenting duties for the gameshow “Beat Shazam”. However, fans have seemingly been given a sign from the actor himself.

Jamie Foxx Seemingly Posts To Instagram

A post shared by Jamie Foxx (@iamjamiefoxx)

For the first time since his hospitalization, Jamie Foxx’s social media accounts have been active. A post appeared on his official Instagram with the message “Appreciate all the love!!! Feeling blessed ” posted over a black background. At the time of writing, the post has been liked over 133,000 times. Comments from the likes of Ludacris, Brett Gray, and DJ Khaled have appeared beside the post. The last post before the May 3 update was a drone video of Foxx showing off his yacht.

However, fans should be cautious about taking this as a definitive sign that Foxx is on the mend. There is absolutely no proof whatsoever that the post is from Foxx. It could have easily been posted by one of his family members or associates. Concern on social media has begun to rise about the state that Foxx is in, which could have led to a post that would assuage concerns. Additionally, only a few hours before the post, friends were reportedly urging people to “pray for Jamie”. Despite this, if this post is from Foxx, then it is a great sign to see that he is in a position to post to social media. Hopefully, this means we will see more from him in the coming days and he strengthens himself and continues towards recovery.
