Quavo Hones His Karate Skills In Japan: Watch

December 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Quavo’s been making the most of his time in Japan lately, shooting what appears to be an upcoming music video at a karate studio earlier this week. He shared a carousel from his visit on Instagram, boasting a black belt as he flexed his newfound skills. In one clip, the Georgia native is seen using his fist to break a wooden board with ease, proudly walking off after the feat.

“That was nice,” he was sure to note. Elsewhere in his post, Quavo included shots of himself eating sushi from a model’s scantily clad body, posing with a group of dancers from the video, and more. It’s unclear what track the new video will accompany, but obviously, he’s going all out.

While most commenters are impressed by Quavo’s karate skills, others are sounding off with jokes. “He paid for that black belt,” one fan theorizes. “Bro hit an adlib after the hit,” another mentions. Regardless, it’s clear that the performer’s having a blast on his trip. Amid his travels, the former Migos member never misses an opportunity to honor his fallen nephew Takeoff, and his trip to Japan has been no exception. Earlier this week, he spotted a local fan sporting a t-shirt featuring various images of the late artist’s face. “Yea boy, you got that motherf**ker on!” he shouted, overjoyed to see the fan showing love to Takeoff. “Ooo, that shirt hard! Where’d you get this?” he then asked.

Naturally, the fan removed the shirt in the middle of the street and gave it to him without hesitation. Quavo offered the generous man some cash in exchange for the shirt, but he seemed satisfied by the heartfelt encounter. Are you impressed with Quavo’s karate skills? Are you looking forward to his upcoming music video? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Kanye West & Ty Dolla Sign’s Album Tracklist Is Here & It Includes “New Body”

December 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign’s album has been a hot topic amongst hip-hop heads for weeks now, and finally, they’re sharing the tracklist with fans. On Friday (December 8), the latter’s Instagram profile lit up with a post naming 18 titles, though no features are on it. It’s possible that those come out later, or they may be a surprise for the LP’s debut.

We’ve already heard what the musical duo’s been brewing up on their “Vultures” single with Bump J and Lil Durk, and needless to say that created plenty of controversy. Ye continues to face backlash from the Jewish community, who feel his lyrics about sleeping with a woman of their religion are disrespectful and distasteful, among other things. Nevertheless, the father of four is progressing with his project rollout and is seemingly determined to make it one of the best yet.

The first title on Ty Dolla and West’s joint project is “Everybody,” followed by “Back To Me,” “Fuk Sumn,” and “Time Moving Slow.” After that comes “Beg Forgiveness,” “So Good,” “Paid,” “Timbo Freestyle,” and “Slide.” Much to the internet’s pleasure, the famous unreleased Nicki Minaj collab, “New Body” made the cut as well, along with tracks like “Promotion,” “Lifestyle,” “Drunk,” “Worship,” River,” “Gun To My Head,” and “Unlock.” The Queen of Rap didn’t tap her longtime friend to appear on her Pink Friday 2 album this weekend, though she did playfully reference it in one of her verses.

Kanye West has been keeping busy in Dubai, but despite his countless hours spent in the studio, he still has time to step out in style with his wife, Bianca Censori. The Australian beauty was turning heads at the mall in her fluffy Balenciaga heels earlier this week, and we’ll likely see more wild looks as we get closer to the arrival of his album with Ty Dolla. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

50 Cent Continues His Relentless Trolling Campaign Against Diddy

December 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In the wake of a series of allegations made against Diddy recently, 50 Cent has had a field day revitalizing their old beef. It started when a pretty scathing lawsuit was filed against Diddy by Cassie, alleging some pretty serious allegations of abuse. Though the suit was settled very quickly, that didn’t stop many in the hip-hop world from weighing in on it. Alternatively some like Joe Budden and Yung Miami found themselves in hot water for trying to ignore the allegations entirely.

But since then, a trio of new lawsuits have been filed against Diddy making equally serious claims of abuse dating all the way back to the early 90s. The legendary rap mogul has gone pretty quiet publicly while denying all of the allegations made against him through his lawyers. As increasingly serious allegations have emerged many of Diddy’s critics have gotten more serious in their responses. But 50 Cent is the exception, continuing to crack jokes at the rap moguls expense. Check out his most recent shots at Diddy below.

December 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In a recent interview with Graham Bensinger, Russell Simmons opened up about his relationship with his family. The 66-year-old has been making headlines in recent months for accusations of abusive behavior coming from his ex-wife Kimora Lee and their daughters. He revealed how the debacle has impacted his life, denying any allegations that he’s been a “deadbeat” dad.

“The only thing that affects me about this is my children being upset with me,” he explained. “I love them more than I love everything. And when my children have a narrative about me that’s not accurate, and when my children publicly say that I haven’t acted well — I’ve always been the one to hold space for them. They know they can curse me out, yell at me — they know that I love them unconditionally. I cannot unlove them.”

He continued, questioning his daughters’ suggestion that he’s mentally unwell. “Do I seem mentally ill to you?” he asked Bensinger. “Yesterday, you [Graham Bensinger] were with me when my daughter texted me. Tomorrow, I close on their new apartment — the 23-year-old, and the 21-year-old… To say that I’m a deadbeat when I paid $50,000 a month for 20 years — and I still pay. And I’m still signing a new lease for the two of them so they can live in Manhattan, so one can model and the other one can go back to school.”

He’s stuck to this sentiment throughout the headlines, continuing to insist that he won’t ever stop loving his daughters or their mother. “I love my daughters unconditionally and that will never change,” he Tweeted back in September. “I love you guys more than I love myself.” What do you think of Russell Simmons’ response to his daughters accusing him of being a deadbeat dad?

Boosie Badazz & 20 Women Have One-On-Ones, He Hilariously Picks His Favorites

December 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Boosie Badazz was the most recent guest on 20 Women Vs. One, a series in which YouTuber Ryanwitdasauce takes a celebrity and puts them in a room with twenty women. Moreover, throughout the hour-long session, the guest is meant to pick and choose which woman stays and which woman leaves after having one-on-one conversations with them. It’s a pretty weird concept that can definitely turn creepy, exploitative, or objectifying, but it at least makes for some funny moments when you have a rapper as eccentric, unfiltered, and expressive as the Baton Rouge MC. Needless to say, it makes for a fun but bizarre watch.

For example, one woman asked the Lil Baby fan how she should get revenge for a stolen purse. “If you can’t handle prison, you don’t need to get it in blood,” Boosie Badazz offered as words of advice. “Because, if you go to prison, you ain’t gon’ be able to handle it. They gon’ be taking your store. Sucking on your p***y. You gon’ have b***hes with braids like Queen Latifah on Set It Off. I’m letting you know. So, you don’t need to get it in blood.”

20 WOMEN VS BOOSIE BADAZZ: Watch

Furthermore, throughout the video, Badazz ended up saying goodbye to thirteen women in the first round. Eventually, he couldn’t really decide between the seven remaining contestants, so he picked five out of those to… give money to? Have dinner with? Maybe they won $150 for participating and an extra $50 because they won? It’s a bit unclear, but of course, that’s not the point of content like this. Either way, considering that Boosie has pretty high standards when it comes to women, we at least hope that he didn’t actually give anyone a hard time and just had some respectful fun for the camera.

Meanwhile, this “speed dating” scenario is interesting because of recent comments of his on his daughter’s dating life. When the 41-year-old said that he doesn’t mind if someone cheats on his daughter– as long as they don’t beat her– he had an interesting back-and-forth with fans. Hopefully that consideration stays hypothetical. For more news and the latest updates on Boosie Badazz, log back into HNHH.

What Was Nicki Minaj’s Debut Single?

December 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Nicki Minaj has shaped the sound and aesthetic of hip-hop time and time again. However, with the release of Pink Friday 2, the rapper provided fans with a glimpse into the future while embracing the sounds that took her to the top of the charts. Before becoming the cultural titan that she is, many witnessed the steps that she took in her come-up, from working alongside Gucci Mane to becoming the First Lady of Young Money. However, it was the single, “Massive Attack” that showcased how she could impact the charts. With assistance from Sean Garrett, this track highlighted her distinct style and became the cornerstone for her unparalleled trajectory.

Composition Of “Massive Attack”

“Massive Attack,” released in 2010, exhibited a fusion of infectious beats, bold lyrics, and Minaj’s unapologetic presence. The song’s pulsating rhythm, combined with Sean Garrett’s collaborative prowess, created an eclectic mix that captivated fans, both new and old. Minaj’s signature flow, in conjunction with Garrett’s production, marked a departure from conventional rap. It presented a bold and dynamic sonic experience that ultimately helped Nicki develop her signature sound.

Impact On The Charts

While “Massive Attack” didn’t replicate the chart-topping success of some later releases, it played a pivotal role in introducing Nicki Minaj as a solo entity. The song managed to garner significant attention, peaking at #14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and topping the Hot Rap Song chart. Ultimately, it laid the groundwork for her subsequent releases. Since its release, it’s earned a Platinum certification by the RIAA, selling over 1 million copies in the United States.

“Massive Attack” served as a critical stepping stone in Nicki Minaj’s career trajectory. The song’s release marked her transition from a featured artist and mixtape sensation to a solo force to be reckoned with. While not a chart-topping sensation, the track solidified Minaj’s individuality and laid the groundwork for her forthcoming musical endeavors.

Evolution From “Massive Attack” To Eminence

Minaj’s early single helped propel her into the mainstream consciousness. It set the tone for her boundary-pushing artistry and established her as a dynamic and unconventional figure within the male-dominated landscape of hip-hop. The track’s impact contributed significantly to the narrative of Minaj as an artist carving her path, unafraid to challenge norms and expectations.

In retrospect, “Massive Attack” stands as Nicki Minaj’s pivotal debut single, marking the commencement of her solo journey. Its bold composition, despite not dominating the charts, laid the groundwork for Minaj’s emergence as a transformative figure in music. This initial release, characterized by its daring style and collaborative efforts, acted as a precursor to her subsequent groundbreaking releases, solidifying her status as an icon within the rap and pop genres.

Harve Pierre, Codefendant, Calls Diddy Lawsuits “Disgusting” & “Desperate”

December 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Diddy isn’t the only one facing harrowing accusations in the multiple sexual assault lawsuits filed against him. Moreover, some of these alleged victims also accused other members of his entourage or the Bad Boy crew of similar crimes, including the label’s former president Harve Pierre. For those unaware, one lawsuit claims that he enticed a Detroit minor to board their private jet in 2003 to hang out with him and Sean Combs, and that they flew to New York City for a recording session. There, a Jane Doe alleges, various men sexually assaulted her in the bathroom of the recording studio.

Furthermore, the lawsuit also claims that Pierre did nothing to stop this situation despite its gruesome nature. Rather, Diddy’s associate allegedly smoked crack cocaine out of a Pepsi can while it happened, and thus, he appears in the latest lawsuit as a codefendant for gang sexual assault. Now, according to a statement reportedly obtained by TMZ Hip Hop, Harve Pierre has finally come out and addressed the claims against him and Puff Daddy. Unsurprisingly, it took on a similarly dismissive, staunch, and indignant stance as the label boss’ own public response.

“This is a tale of fiction,” Harve Pierre reportedly stated, according to the media outlet. “I have never participated in, witnessed, nor heard of anything like this, ever. These disgusting allegations are false and a desperate attempt for financial gain. I will vigorously protect my reputation and defend my name. Those who know me recognize that these claims are not true.” Meanwhile, Diddy’s response came from his social media pages. It followed at least a couple of weeks of silence apart from media statements from representatives or legal affiliates.

“ENOUGH IS ENOUGH,” he wrote on his online accounts, pasting white words on a black screen. “For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy. Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family, and for the truth.” Regardless, for more news and the latest updates on Harve Pierre and Diddy, check back in with HNHH.
