Yak Gotti’s Mother Delivers Powerful & Emotional Message After Her Son Had All Charges Dropped

December 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Several hours ago, Atlanta rapper and member of Young Thug’s YSL label, Yak Gotti received some incredible news. According to some court video from DJ Akademiks, he would be found not guilty on all charges. “You have been found not guilty on all charges,” the judge read to him and his attorney, Douglas Weinstein. Given how turbulent this entire RICO case has been, all he could do was thank God with a prayer. He was one of two remaining defendants to await a verdict after refusing to take a guilty plea deal. It was a risky decision to do so, but it seemed like he was very confident. In fact, Weinstein even told the media that Gotti “fully intends to take this to the jury and get our not guilty verdicts and go home.”

That is exactly what happened today, although it was a slog to the finish line. Just hours before his court appearance, Gotti was stabbed and suffered “minor injuries.” But that has to be one of the last things on his mind, and especially his mother’s. Independent court reporter Meghann Cunniff managed to speak with or attend a public address by the rapper’s caretaker, and it was an emotional moment.

Just like Yak Gotti, she is incredibly overwhelmed with happiness and relief. You can hear that tremble in her voice as she speaks to media with tremendous power. “I stood down- 10 toes down -every day,” she began. “Every day. Day in, day out. I stood by my son. It was his decision to not take the plea, and I said, ‘Whatever you wanna do, I wanna do.”

The longer she speaks the more emotional she gets and it’s just a real amazing moment. “I prayed… thanked God for all the supporters all over the world… I appreciate the love.” She continues, “My stood up 30 months, my son stood up and we was victorious… I’m thankful I never gave up on my son, never. He said, ‘Mama im not takin’ it, I’m standin’ up.’ And I stood right by him every day.” Her close friends/family are there during this incredible message and it’s so moving. Overall, all we can say is we are happy to see this end for everyone involved.

Eminem’s Mom, Debbie Nelson, Dead At 69

December 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Eminem’s mother, Debbie Nelson, has passed away at the age of 69 after battling with advanced lung cancer. According to TMZ, she died in St. Joseph, Missouri on Monday night. Her initial diagnosis was made public back in September. Eminem has yet to comment on her passing publically.

The two have had a tumultuous relationship throughout Eminem’s career, although she’s congratulated him on his success in recent years. After her son’s induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022, she celebrated him in a since-deleted video on social media. “Marshall, I want to say, I could not let this day go by without congratulating you on your induction into the Hall of Fame,” she said at the time. “I love you very much. I knew you’d get there. It’s been a long ride. I’m very, very proud of you.” Eminem’s father, Marshall Bruce Mathers Jr., died after suffering a heart attack in 2019 at 67 years old.

Debbie gave birth to Eminem when she was only 18 years old back in 1972. She had married Marshall Bruce Mathers as her high school sweetheart, two years prior. They got divorced sometime after Eminem’s birth.

Eminem referenced a difficult relationship with his mother on several songs, early in his career, including his hit single, “Cleanin’ Out My Closet.” In 1999, Debbie sued him for defamation. She also discussed their relationship at length in the 2008 memoir, My Son Marshall, My Son Eminem. As the years went on, Eminem eventually expressed regret over his harsh words for his mother and addressed his feelings about their relationship in the 2013 song, “Headlights.” He worked with Spike Lee on a music video for the track, which dropped on Mother’s Day.

Frank Ocean’s Mom Seemingly Hints At New Music While Celebrating His Birthday

October 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Frank Ocean’s mother, Katonya Breaux, seemingly hinted at the iconic singer being hard at work on new music in her tribute post for her son on Instagram on Monday. Celebrating his 37th birthday, she shared a pair of pictures of the two of them together with the caption: “It’s your birthday! And you are working hard as usual but I’m gonna drag you out for cake one way or another!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY GORGEOUS SONshine.”

Beyonce’s mother, Tina Knowles, joined in the comments section to add: “Happy Birthday to your beautiful genius son Frank,” along with heart emojis. While many did celebrate with supportive messages as well, others demanded more information about what project Ocean is working on. One user came to Breaux’s defense, writing: “Treat FRANK OCEANS MOTHER WITH SOME RESPECT AND SHUT UP AND LET HER ENJOY HER SON.” Another wrote: “Guys don’t come in to his mom page to say things like that, omg!! We can’t no put pressure on the art.”

The apparent hint about new music comes after rumors ran rampant on social media that Ocean would be making an appearance on Tyler, The Creator’s new album, Chromakopia. Unfortunately for fans of the frequent collaborators, the two did not team up this time around, although the project does feature collaborations with Teezo Touchdown, Childish Gambino, and more.

Bianca Censori’s Mother Responds To Allegation That Kanye West Wanted To Have Sex With Her

October 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West has been dealing with Lauren Pisciotta (former YEEZY employee from 2021-2022) for a few months now. It seems like every other week we hear some new allegation as over this weekend that was the case. The sexual harassment/assault accuser recently alleged that she received some lewd text messages from Kanye West that he wanted to have sex with Bianca Censori’s mother. The alleged thread started with, “I wanna f*** your mum. Before she leaves,” to Bianca.

He then allegedly screenshotted that and sent it to Lauren, asking, “Before she leaves… Should I [add] I meant I want you to watch me f*** your mom.” Allegedly, Bianca never had a reaction to any of these interactions. If you have been keeping up with this debacle, these are not the only messages, videos, and phone calls, that Lauren has allegedly received from Kanye. It also includes an allegation that she was drugged and sexually assaulted at a Diddy party.

But as far as this latest allegation goes, there’s an important update surrounding it. According to HOLLYWOOD UNLOCKED and Daily Mail, Alexandra Censori, the mother of Bianca, has broken her silence since this was made public. Both say that Daily Mail Australia were the ones who ran into the matriarch, and they asked about the allegation and sexual advances. The outlets say that she doesn’t want to be “drawn into the latest claims about her son-in-law.” She also asked for privacy at this time.

What are your thoughts on Bianca Censori’s mother’s response to the allegation that Kanye West wanted to hookup? Do you she may have had something without saying much at all? How do you see this entire debacle playing out? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Kanye West and Bianca Censori.

Kanye West Accused Of Wanting To Sleep With Bianca Censori’s Mom By Harassment Accuser

October 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West continues to deal with a sexual harassment lawsuit against him from his former assistant at Yeezy, Lauren Pisciotta. For those unaware, she made the allegation that he sent her inappropriate text messages throughout their working relationship from 2021 to 2022, during which she also served as Chief of Staff. In a new alleged legal filing reportedly obtained by Hollywood Unlocked, Pisciotta and her legal team claimed that Ye texted her about his desire to sleep with his wife Bianca Censori’s mother. It’s important to note that, at the time of this alleged incident (September 28, 2022), West and Censori hadn’t married yet.

In the Instagram post below, you can see some of Lauren Pisciotta’s specific claims about this, mostly communicated through alleged text message exchanges. Not only that, but she alleged that Kanye West actually texted Bianca Censori about this, although there was no note of her reaction to this. While this is a pretty scandalous and salacious allegation, it doesn’t have any bearing on this case. The focus is how Ye allegedly harassed Pisciotta through inappropriate text message and phone call interactions, as well as workplace incidents. This alleged boasting and expression certainly falls under that, but it’s for how he allegedly spoke on this with Pisciotta, not because of the alleged desire itself.

However, this news fell during a relatively ironic time, as Kanye West and Bianca Censori seemed to disprove divorce rumors recently thanks to a Tokyo shopping trip they went on. Nevertheless, it’s unclear whether or not they plan to respond to these allegations in court. Ye has already settled some of his open lawsuits quietly, such as one for battery. As for this one, though, it seems like it’s still in a relative limbo period.

Of course, all that could change very quickly. Regardless, we doubt that Kanye West is paying it much mind if Touré’s recent claims about his goings-on are true. According to the hip-hop journalist, the Chicago artist is hunkering down in Tokyo, living at a hotel and self-producing his next album. We will see whether his Japan stay also results in a legal response to these allegations.

Diddy’s Children And Mother Attend Court Hearing To Support Him

October 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy and his legal team got a lot of updates during his latest federal court hearing in New York on Thursday (October 10), whether it was a potential trial start date or other motions from them. The Bad Boy mogul wasn’t just accompanied by his attorneys, though, as all of his children (seemingly except for near-two-year-old Love) and his mother Janice reportedly attended the hearing in support of Sean Combs. TMZ obtained footage of them walking out of the courtroom hand in hand after their father’s (or son’s) hearing concluded. As such, it seems like the Combs family wants to present a united front.

However, other important updates during this court session didn’t make it clear whether or not Diddy succeeded in his third bail attempt, which would presumably reunite him with his family for at least some time. The judge stated that the court did not receive this third motion at the time of the hearing, so they were not able to rule on it. However, the next court date is reportedly in December, and it’s unclear whether the court will address this bail attempt before this date or exactly on it. Nevertheless, the court proposed a May 5, 2025 start date, and Combs’ lawyer Marc Agnifilo reportedly agreed.

Still, it’s unclear whether the court needs to confirm this start date for the Diddy trial or if their agreement already sets it in stone. Regardless, this federal case will develop as more civil allegations and accusations continue to emerge, such as recent claims from one of Cassie’s songwriters. Tiffany Red recently told ABC about an allegedly nasty phone call between the singer and Combs that she claims to have witnessed, as well as other alleged rifts.

Meanwhile, Diddy’s twin daughters D’Lila and Jessie, plus his mother Janice, reportedly paid him a jail visit recently. This means that, even if the third bail attempt doesn’t go through, it seems like the family will still have space to spend time together. Amid this federal case and slew of allegations, this must feel like some slight reprieve. We’ll see how else the Combs family reacts to all these allegations.

Sexyy Red’s Mother Goes Viral For Being A “Baddie”

October 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Sexyy Red never fails to make headlines for her raunchy lyrics, wild antics, and more. Now, however, she’s garnered fans’ attention for another reason. Recently, the “Pound Town” rapper took to social media to share some sweet clips featuring her mother, Andrea Jenkins. In one of the clips, Jenkins is seen backstage during her recent appearance on WWE Raw. She’s even rocking a t-shirt with her daughter’s face on it that says “Sexyy Girl SmackDown.”

Sexyy Red went on to share another clip of her mother, this time celebrating at a restaurant. While fans are certainly happy to see that the St. Louis femcee has a solid support system behind her, that’s far from the only thing they’ve noticed. They responded to the clips by flooding Sexyy Red’s mom with compliments.

“Oh she’s a baddie,” one supporter says of Jenkins on Twitter/X. “Damn how old is sexyy red mom?” someone else wonders. “Lol she look my age [laughing emoji].” Clearly, social media users can’t get enough of Andrea Jenkins. She’s not the only celebrity parent to catch fans’ eyes in the past few months, however. In April of this year, Latto hopped online to give her mother a shoutout. Almost immediately, she was also hit with a wave of thirsty comments.

As for what else Sexyy Red has been up to these days, she recently caught some heat over a livestream she did with a few friends. Some viewers accused one of her female friends of looking like Finesse2tymes, which she seemingly laughed at. This prompted some critics to accuse her of being a bad friend, but according to her, they all have “thick skin.” What do you think of Sexyy Red’s mother Andrea Jenkins going viral? What about fans flooding her with compliments? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Jussie Smollet’s Mother Nearly A Victim Of A Burglary

October 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jussie Smollet is still trying to clear up his legal issues regarding his controversial Chicago hoax case. However, he had to take a break from that to help his mother, Janet Smollet. According to a report from TMZ, she was almost a victim of a burglary while at her Los Angeles home on Monday evening. The outlet says that there were two criminals looking to break in through a back door. They did so by trying to smash it open and in the process, they caused about $300 worth of damages to a window.

However, even with all of that, the burglars were unsuccessful in getting into Janet’s home. With such a raucous being caused, she went to see what all the fuss was about. As soon as she got to the door, the assailants dashed, so thankfully, no harm was done to her. The police are currently searching for the suspects, and they are citing it as an attempted burglary.

Eminem’s Mother Reportedly Diagnosed With Terminal Illness

September 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

According to a new report from In Touch Weekly, Eminem’s mother Debbie Mathers is terminally ill following a lung cancer diagnosis. This is still an early story in development with no official confirmation at press time, so take this news with a grain of salt. Nevertheless, according to an alleged source who reportedly spoke to the outlet, “[t]here are not many options [for Debbie]. She is currently staying between the cancer center and with family members. She has a very limited amount of time [left].” Furthermore, the 69-year-old’s superstar son Marshall has taken care of her financially for many years, per this report and alleged source. But they apparently haven’t contacted each other for a long time.

“People around her aren’t even sure if Eminem is even aware of what is happening to his mother,” the alleged source claimed. “He’s good to his mom. He makes sure he takes care of her, but they don’t really talk. It would be good for both of them [to communicate]. This could give them the chance to reconcile.” As you probably already know, the two have had a very complicated relationship over the years.

But this is sadly not Debbie Mathers’ first experience with cancer, as she was previously diagnosed with breast cancer. “I’m still under doctor’s care, which I probably will be for a while,” she told The Village Voice back in 2018. “Basically a lot of the stuff is hereditary, but that happens. Cancers and heart disease and all that, and all the genetic things … I worry about my boys, having high blood pressure and things.”

While the relationship between Eminem and his mother is a rocky one, they always come together at the end of the day. “Marshall, I want to say, I could not let this day go by without congratulating you on your induction into the [Rock and Roll] Hall of Fame,” she told him in 2022. “I love you very much. I knew you’d get there. It’s been a long ride. I’m very, very proud of you. And also I’m very proud of Hailie Jade, my big girl. I want to tell you Hailie, great job on your podcast and God bless you guys. I love you very much.” Our best wishes, hopes, and prayers go out to Debbie Mathers and her family during this difficult time.

Sean Kingston Seeks Jury Trial In Fraud Case Alongside His Mother

August 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It looks like Sean Kingston and his mother Janice Turner want to take their fraud case all the way. Moreover, according to a new AllHipHop report, they pleaded not guilty during an arraignment with Broward Circuit Judge Ernest Kollra in Fort Lauderdale. Their legal team is dead-set on a jury trial, and the judge stood by their $900,000 bond. “Once the true facts come out we are confident of vindication,” their attorney Robert Rosenblatt told People magazine. Per a Miami grand jury indictment, the singer and his mother face accusations of scheming various individual sellers out of luxury items like jewelry and cars.

Furthermore, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of Florida outlined one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud and five counts of wire fraud for supposedly falsifying the necessary paperwork to buy these items. In the time period between October 2023 and their arrest in May of this year, Sean Kingston and his mother allegedly defrauded various businesses, which sold jewelry, beds, vehicles, televisions, etc., of over a million dollars through false claims of their payment. While authorities arrested Kingston in California after raiding his Florida home, they detained Turner in Florida that same day.

According to The Sun Sentinel, Sean Kingston and his mother Janice Turner will next appear in court on October 11. This trial will crucially determine if these accusations hold merit in the initial assessment of the court or if authorities will simply exonerate the duo as their attorneys claim. Throughout it all, the superstar has maintained their innocence. “It’s great to be home!” he shared online after his extradition to Florida. “A special thanks to God, my family, my friends and my legal team… Robert Rosenblatt, James Stark, Mark Geragos, Zeljka Bozanic, Pierre Pollas. And I cannot forget about my amazing fans, thank you for all your love and support! I love you guys!”

Of course, this situation proved to provoke much media interest. We’ll see what other details emerge about this trial in the near future. Perhaps Sean Kingston and his mother will emerge victorious, or they will face big consequences for their actions. Only time will tell, and until then, social media users everywhere will patiently wait for the results.
