Julia Fox Stuns In A Corset With Princess Diana On It

October 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Julia Fox makes waves for her fashion time and time again. Earlier this month while promoting her book she shared a photo to Instagram. But most of the people watching were more interested in her white bow top than what she was actually talking about. Just a few days later she went panties out in a different fit while her memoir tour stopped in New York City. Now, she’s once again getting attention for an outfit choice.

This time she was once again promoting her new book, this time in London. She once again delivered a look that had fans talking more about her fashion than her words. That was mostly centered around a white corset she wore that had a picture of Princess Diana on it. She also tried to meet the moment of the city she was in with a Union Jack clutch purse. Though the outfit was certainly loud, many online praised just how on-the-nose she was willing to be.

Most of the news about Julia Fox recently has been related to Kanye West. She talks pretty extensively in her memoir about their relationship and revealed quite a few strange details. She ultimately reached the point where she explained that being with West felt like having another child on top of her actual baby.

She also described their sex life as basically nonexistent. Instead, she described her job as just being there to pay West as much attention as possible 24/7. Despite how short the short-lived nature of their relationship it’s been a matter of public fascination since it happened. What do you think of Julia Fox sporting some iconic British imagery during a stop in London? Let us know in the comment section below.

Jeezy Speaks On Depression Journey, Says He Went Years Without Knowing He Had It

October 19, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jeezy has long been vocal about his mental health struggles, especially in the lead-up to the release of his new memoir, Adversity For Sale. Moreover, he recently appeared on The Tamron Hall Show on Monday (October 16) to speak on the book and his battle with depression. In fact, The Snowman recalled how he didn’t even know he was suffering from the condition for almost a decade. Eventually, he came to reckon with his state of mind, and it’s resulted in a lot of reflection. Most importantly, though, the rapper seems more prepared and committed than ever to help others along his journey, and become an example of its negative effects but also of every individual’s strength to overcome it.

“I learned that vulnerability is power,” Jeezy remarked on the television program. “I thought something was wrong with me. Thinking I come from poverty, this is just how it is. I didn’t understand trauma and all these different things. So when I started to get the words for it, I started to understand and grab tools, [and] I started to become better.

Jeezy Opens Up About Not Knowing He Had Depression For Years

“I started my journey and that’s why I’m expressing it and putting it in the book,” Jeezy continued. “Because I didn’t know I was depressed for like eight years of my life straight. You wake up and you just want to go back to sleep forever, you know? And I was leaning into my vices. And that’s what street life does to you. You know what I’m saying? When you lose 200, 300, 400 people like gone forever, you just get numb. And I wasn’t able to get in touch with my emotions and I was wondering why. Thank God for my kids, but there was a time I was just cold. That’s when I was Young Jeezy.”

Meanwhile, the Atlanta MC recalled a scary brush with suicidal thoughts during an interview with PEOPLE in August of this year. “I remember standing there and saying to myself, ‘Man, if you go back home and you don’t figure this out,’” he expressed. “Because I don’t want to end up like my friends. My friends became junkies and they were getting killed and all these things. ‘No, bro. You gonna have to man up. You gonna have to go back home, you got to figure this out.’” For more news and the latest updates on Jeezy, keep checking in with HNHH.

Julia Fox Explains Why She Ended Things With Kanye West

October 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

While Julia Fox may not have the most talked about celebrity memoir released recently there are still plenty of juicy details emerging. In the book, she talks about her relationship with Kanye West. It gave fans yet another peek into the unsurprisingly chaotic world surrounding the controversial rapper. Unlike other memoirs recently though, very little focus is paid to the physical relationship Fox and West had. As it turns out, that’s because there wasn’t much of one. According to Fox, it was more about West desiring constant attention above all else.

“I had my son, and then he want to talk on the phone a lot, and I’d have to change diapers … I bought a pair of AirPods so I could keep it in while I was doing mom stuff. It was so overwhelming and so unsustainable,” she explained during an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show. “Ultimately, I cannot put anybody else first. My son has to be first. It just became too much. I didn’t sign up to have two babies. I couldn’t do it. It felt like two babies,” she elaborated. Check out the full clip from her appearance on the show below.

All kinds of wild details have emerged from Fox’s time with Kanye West via her new memoir. She described herself as West’s “Puppet” and believed she was only there to spite Kim Kardashian. She described the feeling of being weaponized and cited it as a major reason for why their romance eventually fell apart.

In another bizarre story between Fox and West, she described the rapper offering to pay for a boob job for her during a game of Uno. Fox has been promoting her new book through a variety of methods including a social media video that got more attention for her outfit than her message. What do you think of Julia Fox’s newest revelations about Kanye West? Let us know in the comment section below.

Jada Pinkett Smith Wants Will Smith & Her To Heal & Get Closer After Revelations

October 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Despite all the drama and discussion around her upcoming memoir Worthy, Jada Pinkett Smith seems like she’s already looking to the future. Moreover, she recently joined The Today Show on Monday morning (October 16) and spoke to Hoda Kotb about her relationship with Will Smith. What’s more is that the actor even posted a hilarious and cheeky response to all this on Instagram. His latest post is captioned “Notifications off :),” and shows him taking a nap on a boat amid a flurry of notifications. The message is clear: the 55-year-old is not letting any of this gossip and heated debate get to his head, and his wife even commented on it with some laughing emojis.

Jokes aside, we actually did get his first public response to all this thanks to an email sent to The New York Times. During their interview with Jada Pinkett Smith, they said that her memoir “kind of woke [Will Smith] up,” or rather, that said feeling is how he would describe it. “She had lived a life more on the edge than he’d realized. She is more resilient, clever and compassionate than he’d understood,” they paraphrased his thoughts on the matter, and later directly quoted him. “When you’ve been with someone for more than half of your life, a sort of emotional blindness sets in. You can all too easily lose your sensitivity to their hidden nuances and subtle beauties,” the Philly native expressed. As such, it seems like she has his full support, and that the couple is sticking together amid all this.

With this in mind, for this new Today interview, Jada Pinkett Smith spoke on what she wants her future with Will Smith to be like. “There’s no finding another great love, and I think that’s the point,” the Baltimore native shared “It’s like we are in a place now that we are in a deep, healing space. And we are really concentrating on healing the relationship between us. There’s no divorce on paper. We really have been working hard. That’s the whole thing. We are working very hard at bringing our relationship together. Back to a life partnership.

“Here’s the thing about husband-wife marriage for me, for my healing process,” she continued. “I came into that with very specific ideas that were blocks to me seeing Will as who he is. He can’t be this perfect, ideal guy husband. I have to be able to accept him for the human that he is, he accepts me for the human that I am. And we want to love each other there.” She thinks that this memoir experience has brought them even closer together, and only brought things publicly now because they needed time to figure out who they were and what they wanted to be. For more news and updates on Jada Pinkett and Will Smith, stay posted on HNHH.

Justin Timberlake Is Worried About Britney Spears’ Upcoming Memoir: Report

October 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Britney Spears’ upcoming memoir The Woman In Me, releasing October 24, shook up a lot of people. For example, many fans are antsy as to what she will reveal, what will be included, and how the public will perceive her after its commercial opening. Other folks like her father and ex-husband are reportedly unbothered by it, although that’s purely based on speculation and secondhand source reports. As if that wasn’t enough, we have another one of those to unpack, this time from Page Six. According to sources that spoke to the outlet, her ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake is “concerned” about what this book will include.

“He’s very curious what she’ll reveal from their relationship,” one source reportedly alleged to Page Six. “It’s eating at him.” While this sounds very dramatic, it’s because many expect The Woman In Me to not paint a flattering image of people in her life. After all, Britney Spears has been through a lot of hardship, personal battles, feuds with close family, friends, or partners in her life, and so on. In fact, a recent Us Weekly report claimed that the memoir goes “hard” at Justin Timberlake.

However, other alleged reports suggest otherwise. According to Page Six, a publishing insider maintained that The Woman In Me is “not a takedown” of any particular individual, or meant to take down anyone. “This is Britney finally getting a chance to tell her empowering story, and it’s nothing more than that,” they alleged to the publication. Given Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake’s relationship history, though, one could understand why the latter would be a bit on edge. They broke up in quite the high-profile way after three years of dating, which was back in 2002.

They made songs about each other, refused to go into detail about why they split, but also made sneaky comments about both of them being wrong. Overall, it remains a pretty messy affair to this day, as the “Everytime” superstar called the “Cry Me A River” entertainer out in 2022. Do you think there are more skeletons in the closet here? Let us know in the comments down below. Also, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake.

Britney Spears Joins J Balvin & Maluma For Dinner In New York City Ahead Of Memoir

October 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Britney Spears was recently photographed having dinner in New York City on Wednesday night (October 11) with some Colombian superstar friends. Moreover, she, J Balvin, and Maluma hit up Zero Bond for a sushi meal, and Page Six reported that the two reggaetón artists actually invited her over to their table after they saw her. Still, it’s a wild connection, as the pop star has never before been linked to them, who are good friends. However it came about, it’s at least heartening to see her spending time with some friendly faces and having fun. After all, the press run as of late hasn’t been too forgiving or anything less than chaotic when it comes to the Mississippi native.

Interestingly enough, though, it’s possible that she’s in The Big Apple to combat that very narrative. Britney Spears’ memoir, The Woman In Me, comes out on October 24, and she might be in the area to do a small press run or engage in promotional activities. Whether it’s for her sometimes worrisome dancing clips, her divorce from Sam Asghari, or more, the media scrutinized her quite heavily over the past few months, if not years. Hopefully with this memoir and some more public statements (if she so chooses), the 41-year-old can find at least a bit of closure.

Still, all of this doesn’t seem to have slowed down her desire to keep coming out with new music, as she dropped a single with will.i.am earlier in 2023. In fact, maybe Britney Spears has more of that to come, or at least, that’s what she’s gunning for with a recent dance video. To the tune of Beyoncé’s “Daddy Lessons,” she called out people remixing her own songs and using this one as an example of her taking revenge. Not only that, but the “Toxic” star even asked Queen Bey’s husband for a feature.

“So many people have done remixes to my songs without my knowledge,” she captioned the since-deleted clip. “So I guess it’s safe to say I will be redoing this song eventually!!! Just need to meet Jay-Z and add a rap to it… What’s up?” For more news and the latest updates on Britney Spears, stay posted on HNHH.

Jada Pinkett Smith Says She & Will Smith Have Been Separated Since 2016

October 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith were reportedly separated years before the infamous Oscars incident went down. Ahead of the release of her forthcoming memoir, Worthy, she sat down for a tell-all interview with PEOPLE where she dived into everything including her marriage to Will and the controversial award show moment. Apparently, the two are not “romantically together,” though they aren’t formally divorced on paper.

“We’re still figuring it out,” she told PEOPLE. “We’ve been doing some really heavy-duty work together. We just got deep love for each other and we are going to figure out what that looks like for us.” As far as the Oscars moment, she said that she thought it was a skit. Still, she said that she’s going to continue to stand by Will Smith no matter what. “I’m going to be by his side,” she said of him. “But also allow him to have to figure this out for himself.”

Will Smith & Jada Pinkett Separate

In a clip from her upcoming NBC Primetime special with Hoda Kotb, she revealed that she and Will live “completely separate lives” and have been since 2016. Hoda said that she was surprised by the revelation from the book where Jada goes into detail surrounding her relationship with Will. Jada confirmed that they aren’t together romantically, although Kotb clarified that “it was not a divorce on paper.” However, Jada emphasized that she considered it a “divorce.”

“By the time we got to 2016, we were just exhausted with trying. I think we were both kind of just still stuck in our fantasy of what we thought the other person should be,” she told Kotb on why she thinks their relationship was “fractured.” “I made a promise that there will never be a reason for us to get a divorce. We will work through … whatever,” Pinkett Smith continued. “I just haven’t been able to break that promise.” Check out the clip above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments below.

Julia Fox Explains Meeting Kanye West & How Their Whirlwind Romance Fell Apart

October 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

From the moment it began in 2022, pop culture fanatics have been dying to know more about Julia Fox and Kanye West’s unconventional relationship. At the time, there was speculation that the father of four was using the Uncut Gems actress to spite his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian. In her new Down the Drain memoir, Fox essentially confirms these theories, making it known that there were several moments during her romance with Ye that left her in an uncomfortable state.

The mother of one allegedly first got into contact with the Yeezy founder after a mutual friend received an inquiry about Fox from West. He apparently called her up dozens of times, only to dominate the conversation. The socialite quickly earned herself an invite to celebrate NYE in Miami with the Graduation rapper, and he didn’t hold back. At one point during their night out, Ye began peeing in the venue’s parking lot while his date shielded him from the public. Afterward, they shared a steamy makeout session that was followed by dinner at Carbone the next day.

During that outing, the “Off the Grid” artist bluntly asked Fox if they could date and take their union public. This is when she began to grow concerned about the validity of their fling. “I feel like he’s using me in some weird, twisted game. It makes me feel dirty,” the fashionista wrote in her book. The final few days of their time together took place in Paris for Fashion Week, where Julia and Kanye argued frequently, according to her recount of the events. When gifting her and friends Birkin bags, he allegedly made them recreate photos and videos of the moment several times, rubbing the starlet the wrong way.

Elsewhere in her Down the Drain memoir, Julia Fox revealed that Kanye West offered to pay for her breast augmentation during their relationship. Though she’s been no stranger to cosmetic procedures in the past, this was one opportunity that the Italian-born actress didn’t mind refusing. Read everything she had to say about that at the link below and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news.

Jada Pinkett Smith Reflects On Dealing With “Bouts Of Depression”

October 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jada Pinkett Smith reveals that she suffers from “bouts of depression” in her new book, Worthy. PEOPLE published an excerpt from the upcoming memoir, last week. In the section, Jada explains that despite her successful career and marriage, she finds herself dealing with moments where “helplessness” floods in.

In doing so, she recalls battling with a mental break around her 40th birthday. “I want to be grateful for this moment, for this opportunity, but a feeling of helplessness floods me…” she writes. “Don’t be afraid, I tell myself. You are in peaceful, beautiful Ojai. Why are you so scared? Because, I answer right back, what if THIS actually kills me?”

From there, she continues: “Three months earlier, in the wake of my fortieth birthday, my biggest worry was Well, what if it DOESN’T? For two decades, I had been putting on a good face, going with the flow, telling everyone I was okay. Yet underneath, bouts of depression and overwhelming hopelessness had smoldered until they turned into raging hellfire in my broken heart. Unwelcome feelings — of not deserving love — made it harder to understand the disconnect between the so-called perfect life I had achieved and the well of loss I carried with me. Therapy helped up to a point. It got me to forty! But to what end?”

Elsewhere, she describes “checking off boxes” to prove she lives a happy life and how those “boxes” haven’t supplied her with the joy she expected. “I followed the rules … the rules we’re told to follow. You work hard, make sacrifices for those you love,” she explained. Jada Pinkett Smith’s Worthy releases on October 17th. Be on the lookout for further updates on the book on HotNewHipHop.
