Julia Fox Sports Tiny White Bow Bra To Promote New Book

October 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Julia Fox is no stranger to unique outfits, but she’s normally slaying them. That’s also the case in a new Instagram post she made. The reel was intended to promote her book but it got people talking a lot more about her fit. In the video, she discusses her new memoir Down The Drain which just released today. In the video, she even has a copy of the book herself and directs fans to where they can get their own with “~ L I N K I N B I O ~” as the caption of the post. The book takes readers behind the scenes in Fox’s life and is expected to comment on dozens of high-profile topics and scandals she’s engaged with during her time in the spotlight.

Most of the comments on the post, however, focus on Fox’s stunning looks and unique white lace bow top. Celebs filter into the comments as well like when Amber Rose leaves a trio of heart-eye emojis. Other fans lofted praise onto her even further. “Wait u look so beautiful tho,” one writes, “i must be in heaven because this look isn’t off this earth sis,” another one agrees. Check out the full video and all the fan reactions below.

As details have emerged via Fox’s new memoir, it’s shed light on her high-profile relationship with Kanye West. In one particularly blunt moment, she claims that she was merely a “puppet” that West was using to spite his ex Kim Kardashian after their divorce.

In the memoir, she explains quite a bit more on how her short stint with West happened. She shared details on how they met, how the romance developed, and how it ultimately fizzled out. What do you think of the bra Julia Fox wears in a new video promoting her new memoir? Let us know in the comment section 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.

Kanye West & Julia Fox’s Relationship Included Boob Job Offers While Playing Uno, Her Memoir Alleges

October 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

After much anticipation, Julia Fox’s memoir, Down The Drain, has finally arrived. Longtime fans of the Uncut Gems starlet have been eager to read all about the tumultuous ups and downs of her life before fame. As for hip-hop heads, they’re mostly curious about the few months that Fox was in Kanye West’s orbit. The unconventional pair attended Fashion Week (and various other events) together in early 2022, though it wasn’t long before their differences, and the intensity surrounding Ye’s divorce from Kim Kardashian, drove them apart.

Prior to her book’s release, Fox shared with the press that the nature of her and the rapper’s relationship wasn’t sexual. However, as Page Six notes, she did reveal that West offered to pay for her plastic surgery while they spent the day playing card and word games. “We spen[t] the day playing Uno and a game that involves highlighting positive words in the dictionary,” an excerpt published by The Guardian this past weekend says. During that link-up, the “Through the Wire” hitmaker reportedly told Julia, “I’ll get you a boob job if you want.”

The Italian-born entertainer denied West’s offer and made it clear that she only had “good intentions” when entering into a whirlwind romance with him. “I went into it… feeling all this could be real, and it could be amazing, and he could open so many doors,” Fox told readers. “I learned very quickly that I was being weaponized, I just felt like his little puppet,” she previously shared.

While Julia Fox continues to replay her short-lived fling with Kanye West for the media, the father of four has obviously moved on with Bianca Censori. Just last week, confirmation of the pair’s marital status came out, though Ye has reportedly told his bride “never to speak again.” Read more about those rumours at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Julia Fox’s Body Is Shredded In New Promotional Video For “Down The Drain” Memoir: Watch

September 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Julia Fox has been marching to the beat of her own drum long before she found herself in the spotlight. She’s taken full advantage of setting herself apart from the competition since making her debut alongside Adam Sandler in Uncut Gems. There’s no one doing it quite like the Italian-born starlet is. This is precisely why both fans and critics are eager to read her Down the Drain memoir when it finally arrives at bookstores next month. Fox has been on a bit of a press tour in recent weeks promoting the project. She’s notably for editorials in Cybr Magazine and on the cover of King Kong‘s Americana issue.

Those photoshoots saw the 33-year-old dramatically switching up her look and flaunting her slim thick body. However, what’s really caught our attention is the latest post on her Instagram feed. On Friday (September 29) afternoon, Fox posted a promotional video for her soon-to-be-released book. It consists of behind-the-scenes clips captured during modelling gigs. She’s admitted to having work done on her body in the past. Still, it’s obvious that the entertainer has been spending time in the gym lately too. She clearly looks more shredded than ever before.

As noted in her caption, Fox will be hosting a box release event at Palladium Times Square on October 10th. The event begins at 6 PM and will wrap by 7:30, with tickets starting at $86. Besides listening to her talk, patrons will also have the chance to ask questions during a moderated session between the fashionista and her audience.

Julia Fox has made it known that she goes into uncomfortable depth about her life at many points throughout Down the Drain. One thing she won’t touch on, however, is her sexual relationship with Kanye West, which fans of both the rapper and actress have been undeniably curious about. Read what Fox had to say about the NSFW matter at the link below. Make sure to check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Julia Fox & Kanye West’s Sex Life Was Non-Existent During Their Short-Lived Relationship, She Shares

September 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Following his messy divorce from Kim Kardashian, Kanye West found himself spending time with plenty of interesting women. Julia Fox was among the first of the starlets who the father of four began dating when his single status was reinstated. Since then, we’ve also seen him with Chaney Jones, Candice Swanepoel, and now, Bianca Censori. He and the Uncut Gems actress only spent about two months together. In that time, they managed to push plenty of boundaries. The couple’s shared love for creating seems to be what brought them together, and according to Fox, there surprisingly wasn’t much of a sexual connection between them at all.

She’s currently preparing to release her Down the Drain memoir, which will notably include some confessions about her time with Ye. Fox spoke with the New York Times about what readers can expect when it drops next month, at which time she explained her decision to be so candid about some of her most intimate moments. “I felt like it was the truth. Why not write it?” the Italian-born entertainer reflected.

“I have this thing where, in my personal writing, I don’t go into as much detail as I could. I’m like: ‘This [wild] thing happened. OK, moving on…’ So I made it a point to put the reader in the room. I didn’t want to skip over things. So maybe some things are too detailed,” Fox continued. However, when asked about sleeping with Ye, she said we won’t be reading about what because it’s not how the pair spent their time together. “There, like, wasn’t any. It wasn’t really about that,” she told the outlet.

Kanye West and Julia Fox enjoyed their moment in the spotlight together, travelling from designer show to shopping centre to expand their luxurious wardrobes. Since they split, he’s been seen attending Fashion Week events with his new wife, Bianca Censori. The couple’s outfits have been deemed incredibly controversial in countries like Italy, where the 46-year-old is being accused of breaking “anti-terror laws” with some of his latest looks. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Juicy J Claims Mac Miller Brought “Every Kind Of Drug You Can Take” To The Studio Prior To His Death

September 5, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Juicy J says that Mac Miller once brought a “party pack” of tons of different drugs to the studio prior to his death. He reflected on the moment during a recent interview with Allison Kugel. Juicy says he regrets not taking the drugs away from him and being a better influence.

“We was in the recording studio and he had a party pack … it’s like every kind of drug you can take and it’s in a pack or a box or whatever,” Juicy J said. “He pulls out this box and pops a couple of things and he offers me some coke. If I could turn back the hands of time, I would have snatched that box. And I know he probably would have tried to fight me, but I would have snatched that box and I would’ve dumped it in the toilet and flushed it.”

From there, Juicy discussed his broader relationship with the late rapper. “I knew Mac Miller when he was like 17,” he told Kugel. “I threw his 18th birthday party at my studio … He was like a little brother to me. I hated to see him do that. He was around 25 or 26 before he passed, so he a grown-ass man. I seen what he was doing, I didn’t say anything. I just told him, ‘I’m cool, I’m straight. Let’s just finish the music.’ I swear, if I could turn back the hands of time, I would have snatched that box and thrown that box across the street.”

Juicy J continued: “And [I should’ve] said, ‘Look, get mad if you want, but I love you, bro. I want to see you alive. Let’s talk. Let me tell you some stories about my drug use. Let me tell you some stories about growing up and Three 6 Mafia and the whole Memphis scene and what I went through and how things can turn up if you do the wrong drug or you overdose or whatever.’ I wish I could, man.” Juicy further reflects on their last moments together in his new memoir, Chronicles of the Juice Man.

Michael Oher Referenced Conservatorship In 2011 Memoir

August 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

More details continue to emerge about the horrifying situation surrounding Michael Oher. Oher, who played in the NFL was 2009 to 2016, was made famous by his life story. His inspiring story served as the basis for the Oscar-winning film, The Blind Side. Oher, who is Black, was adopted by the white Tuohy family after they met him at an elite Memphis private school attended by their biological children.

However, Oher has claimed this week that he was never legally adopted by the Tuohy family. Instead, he claims he was tricked into entering into a conservatorship. That arrangement gave the Tuohys full financial control over his life and life story. Oher, 37, is seeking an end to the conservatorship as well as financial restitution. The Tuohy family has not denied the arrangement, but calls Oher’s lawsuit “insulting”. Furthermore, the family has alleged that Oher demanded $15 million from them before filing the lawsuit.

However, a major point of contention about Oher’s claims that he only discovered the truth in February of 2023 is a passage from his 2011 memoir. In I Beat The Odds: From Homelessness, to The Blind Side, and Beyond, Oher directly referenced the conservatorship. “Sean and Leigh Anne would be named as my ‘legal conservators. They explained to me that it means pretty much the exact same thing as ‘adoptive parents,’ but that the laws were just written in a way that took my age into account. Honestly, I didn’t care what it was called. I was just happy that no one could argue that we weren’t legally what we already knew was real: We were a family.”

This is being used as some sort of gotcha that Oher was fully aware of the situation he was in. However, let’s break this text down. “Sean and Leigh Anne would be named as my ‘legal conservators. They explained to me that it means pretty much the exact same thing as ‘adoptive parents,’ but that the laws were just written in a way that took my age into account.” Oher’s claim is that he was tricked into signing a conservatorship. This is 13-year-old proof of that. There are huge legal differences between adoption and legal conservatorship. Telling an 18-year-old with little legal knowledge that they are “pretty much the exact same thing” is indeed tricking them into signing a document that benefits you and not them. This is a developing story.

Jeezy Recalls Having “Suicidal Thoughts” For A “Brief Moment”

August 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jeezy says that he went through a “brief moment” he considered suicide while attending a Youth Challenge program in Fort Stewart, Georgia. He discussed the period from his life while speaking with PEOPLE. The interview comes amid of the release of his new memoir, Adversity For Sale.

“You’re basically in the Marines or the Army and people are telling you what to do. You gotta shine your boots,” the Atlanta rapper recalled. “I don’t know about anybody else [but] I’m just not good at being told what to do. And I’m coming from a place where I’m basically a boss. But maybe a few weeks in I’m like, ‘Hold up, I’m working out.’ It taught me structure. And it took me out of the environment that I was in for me to become even more focused than I was because I thought I was focused, but I really wasn’t. I didn’t have a plan. I just was going through the motions.”

From there, Jeezy continued: I remember standing there and saying to myself: ‘Man, if you go back home and you don’t figure this out. Because I don’t want to end up like my friends.’ My friends became junkies and they were getting killed and all these things. So it was all this stuff in my head. I just remember standing there and it was for a brief moment, I would say at least about 10 minutes, I actually contemplated jumping in the water. I had never had suicidal thoughts, but I [thought], ‘Well, shit, if I just jump in the water, I ain’t gotta deal with this, I ain’t gotta go back home, I gotta do none of these things.’”

Jeezy has been speaking with numerous outlets about the book in recent weeks, including Good Morning America as well as Rap Radar, among others. He says that his goal is to inspire his fans to fight through adversity and achieve their dreams. Adversity For Sale is available now.
