December 5, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week, Variety released their annual “Actors On Actors” feature. As usual it features a series of interviews between two different actors where they discuss their craft and the year they’ve had. The biggest interview this year was Margot Robbie and Cilian Murphy. They played the lead roles in two films that famously went head-to-head at the box office this summer Barbie and Oppenheimer.

But another interview that captured fans attention came between Halle Bailey and Rachel Zegler. Bailey took to her Instagram story to share the photo from their cover and show some love to Zegler. She followed it up with a message thanking the people who she sees as her real fans. “I just also wanna say I’m so very grateful for my real supporters who are respectful of women’s bodies and loving,” her statement begins. “being under a microscope is not easy but for the real ones who show unconditional love religiously I appreciate you I feel so blessed and grateful.” Check out her full post below.

Many suspect that what’s upsetting Halle Bailey are the pregnancy rumors swirling around her recently. In the comments of a repost of her Instagram story you can see the exact kind of remarks she’s taking issue with. “Her pretending to not be pregnant is what’s making the masses more curious,” one of the top comments on the post reads. Many other comments all the way down the post take a similar tone.

The pregnancy speculation began last month when Bailey’s boyfriend shared a video to his snapchat. Fans broke down the clip frame by frame and think they identified a frame where he accidentally shows Bailey on camera. They think she looks pregnant during the brief time she’s visible on screen. Bailey herself has been largely quiet about the rumors only addressing them in similarly indirect statements. What do you think of Halle Bailey’s message to her real supporters about showing her unconditional support? Let us know in the comment section below.

DaniLeigh’s Brother Seeks Justice And Wants To Serve DaBaby, But Can’t Find Him

December 5, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It seems like the drama between DaniLeigh’s brother, Brandon Bills, and rapper DaBaby is far from over. According to recent reports from RadarOnline.com, Bills is determined to get justice after a physical altercation with DaBaby last year. In recently obtained legal documents, Bills expressed his frustration at being unable to “locate and serve [DaBaby].” To overcome this obstacle, Bills took matters into his own hands by hiring a private investigator to track down the rapper. The report suggests that Bills has even proposed an unconventional method of serving legal documents – by placing an advertisement in the local paper if the investigator fails to locate DaBaby. As of now, a judge has yet to make a ruling on this unique request.

The roots of this legal battle trace back to a heated incident in February 2022 when Bills confronted DaBaby at a bowling alley. The altercation reportedly stemmed from DaBaby’s handling of his breakup with DaniLeigh. While DaBaby allegedly threw the first punch, his entourage intervened, leading to a physical altercation. Bills claims he was jumped and they pulled his hair, leading to an unfair fight.

Brandon Bills Is Ready To Serve DaBaby

A lawsuit was promptly filed by Brandon Bills on February 16 in a Los Angeles court, accusing DaBaby of being legally liable for the sudden and unwarranted assault. However, social media remembers everything and is now accusing him of contradicting himself. This is due to the fact that Bills initially announced that he wouldn’t press charges, emphasizing that he’s not a “snitch” and had no intention of putting anyone in jail. Despite his public stance, the lack of cooperation from Bills created hurdles in the lawsuit. Now, with Bills actively pursuing DaBaby, the legal battle seems to be back on track.

His willingness to serve DaBaby indicates a renewed determination to seek justice for the alleged assault. It remains to be seen how this legal saga unfolds, but one thing is for sure. The spotlight is firmly on DaniLeigh’s brother as he pursues retribution in this high-profile case. Some social users thought he should just take the L and move on. “Man take the L and move forward… We all know you got jumped it’s cool… He’s still your nieces dad so he going to be around lol,” said one person in the comments. Meanwhile, others came to his defense. “Y’all keep saying he started or he should’ve stayed out of it but that’s literally his sister,” another person wrote. “I see who had a man stand up for them and who don’t even know what that even feels like fr.”

Nelly Does A Ja Rule Impression While Joining Ashanti On Stage

December 5, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Much of the news revolving around Nelly and Ashanti recently hasn’t had much to do with anything they’ve done on stage. Social media lit up earlier this week when Ashanti posted a video of the singer rubbing her belly in a way that indicated to many fans that she might be pregnant. Rumors began to swirl immediately but they didn’t last all that long before being officially confirmed. A source broke the news the same day that the couple are expecting a child together.

Now video is making the rounds from a performance over the weekend that saw the two sharing the stage. During the performance, Ashanti unpacked her classic 2002 hit “Mesmerize.” But where the song would normally feature Ja Rule, Nelly stepped in. He even managed to impress some fans both in attendance and online afterward with the quality of his impression. Check out one of the clips of his performance below.

Nelly’s Ja Rule Impression

Another person that many fans are talking about in the wake of the pregnancy news is Irv Gotti. He notoriously claimed to have a romantic relationship with Ashanti during an episode of Drink Champs last year. So the revelation that she is actually dating Nelly and that they’re now expecting a child together caused plenty of fans to give Gotti some flak.

Tasha K also went viral earlier this year for her issues with the pairs relationship. She called out Nelly’s past actions and claimed that Ashanti should somehow be above dating him once again. Even when she had the opportunity to back down on her comments she instead chose to double down. “I don’t want to see a MF spin the block on you to do the same thing he did to you before,” the blogger said in her second rant on the subject. What do you think of Nelly’s Ja Rule impression? Did he do a convincing job filling in on the song? Let us know in the comment section below.

Diddy’s Sexual Assault Lawsuits Causing “Logistical Nightmare” For Grammys: Report

December 5, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s ongoing sexual assault lawsuits are reportedly causing a “logistical nightmare” for the Grammys as the Recording Academy prepares for its 66th Annual Awards ceremony. The UK publication, Mirror, cites several officials within the Academy to report that the organization is trying to remove Diddy from the guest list. Additionally, numerous celebrities are requesting that they sit nowhere near him.

“The formal invitations go out this month. There’s conflict at the academy as several voting members do not think it would be appropriate to invite Diddy,” the report suggests. “Some, including several high profile African-American members, fear that inviting him sends the wrong message to audiences and the charities it supports. Several publicists have asked that their artists aren’t seated by him. It’s a logistical nightmare.”

Diddy & Cassie At The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Cassie was the first woman to file a lawsuit against Diddy, last month, accusing him of sexual abuse. While the two reached a settlement within 24 hours, two more accusers came forward with allegations against Diddy soon afterward.

Diddy has denied all of the allegations against him. In a statement provided to HipHopDX, a spokesperson for the Bad Boy mogul said: “These are fabricated claims falsely alleging misconduct from over 30 years ago and filed at the last minute. This is nothing but a money grab. Because of Mr. Combs’ fame and success, he is an easy target for anonymous accusers who lie without conscience or consequence for financial benefit. The New York Legislature surely did not intend or expect the Adult Survivors Act to be exploited by scammers. The public should be skeptical and not rush to accept these bogus allegations.” Be on the lookout for further updates on the fallout from Diddy’s sexual assault lawsuits on HotNewHipHop.

Judge James E. d’Auguste also allowed the victim to maintain her anonymity.

“The Plaintiff is permitted as interim relief to maintain the above pseudonym caption pending a hearing on this order to show cause,” the judge ordered, as noted by AllHipHop. “And it is further ordered that sufficient cause appearing therefore, let service upon all Defendants of a copy of this order, together with the papers upon which this order is granted, and the summons and complaint, on or before the 8th of December 2023 be deemed good and sufficient service. An affidavit or other proof of service shall be presented to this court on the return date directed in the second paragraph of this order.”

In the initial filing, the plaintiff explained that they wanted to be “fully and fairly compensated” for their experience. That experience includes allegedly suffering physical, emotional, and psychological injuries. The filing continues: “Pierre used his position of authority as plaintiff’s boss to groom, exploit, and sexually assault her. Pierre engaged in a year-long pattern of grooming plaintiff, leading to sexual harassment of plaintiff, and sexual assault.”

Pierre’s lawsuit comes as Bad Boy founder Diddy has faced several sexual assault lawsuits in recent weeks.

While they settled shortly afterward, Diddy still faces two more lawsuits, the allegations of which he has denied. The fallout from the situation has led to Diddy stepping down as chairman of Revolt.

NBA Youngboy Responds To Gillie’s Request For Him To Headline A Festival With Lil Durk

December 5, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Earlier today, a clip started making the round online of Gillie on his podcast opening up on who he would want to headline his festival. His answer made a lot of sense as he explained his picks would be Lil Durk and NBA Youngboy. The pair had a long-lasting beef that they reportedly only finally squashed earlier this year. Gillie hoped that the two taking the stage in the same night would show fans that the rappers really are there to give them the best performances possible above all else.

Fans in the comments didn’t believe initially the Youngboy was up for it. “Bro YB on house arrest at grave digger’s mountain,” one of the top comments mentions. “Bro tryna lit the stage up in a different way,” another comment reads suggesting that it would be a violent affair if they were both performing. But Youngboy seemingly surprised plenty of fans by responding to the request. In the video he shared he says that he would love to play at Gillie’s festival. The only issue is that he just needs to be let off of house arrest first. But that wasn’t even the revelation that most fans honed in on. Check out Gillie’s initial request and Youngboy’s video response below.

NBA Youngboy Reveals He Regularly Talks To Lil Durk

NBA Youngboy has had an extremely prolific 2023 releasing four entire projects worth of new material. The most recent is Decided 2 a full hour of new music across 18 songs that his streaming platforms last month. What do you think of NBA Youngboy’s revelation that he and Lil Durk talk every 2-3 days about their music? Let us know in the comment section below.
