Nardo Wick Fan Attack Has Charlamagne Tha God Calling For The Rapper To Ditch His Crew

December 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Charlamagne Tha God has urged Nardo Wick to ditch his long-time crew in favor of professional security after his entourage brutally assaulted a fan. Charlamagne argued that the job of security is not to “beat people up” but instead make real-time decisions to best ensure the safety of their charge. That requires a level of training that Charlamagne argues Wick’s current crew simply doesn’t have. Furthermore, Charlamagne noted that sticking with his crew could legal to more legal headaches. The fan who was assaulted by two members of Wick’s team has already retained a lawyer.

The music world is still reeling from the horrifying video of two of Wick’s crew assaulting a fan. The video, captured by venue CCTV, shows that the man was merely trying to grab a selfie with the rapper and did not appear to pose any kind of threat. However, as the video shows, two of Wick’s crew took it upon themselves to violently assault the fan. The consequences of that attack are still unfolding.

Nardo Wick Speaks On Fan Attack

Wick was quick to issue a statement distancing himself from the actions of his entourage after it happened. “I don’t condone what happened to my fan George after my show in any type of way. I expressed to him and his momma how sorry and concerned I was that it happened to him multiple times before anything was even posted of on the internet. And I sent his mama my number instantly the night it happened. And I was even gone make a post to find out who he was before his mama text me.” Wick goes on to explain how things got out of hand so quickly. I can’t control another grown man actions, I aint know that was gone happen and I was mad when it happened.” Wick wrote on social media.

Furthermore, the two perpetrators of the attack – 34-year-old Zachary L. Benton and a 15-year-old male – turned themselves in on December 1. This came after police issued a warrant for the two men. Both men are expected to face felony assault charges. Furthermore, the unnamed 15-year-old will face an additional charge for being in possession of a gun while wearing a face mask. Additionally, TMZ learned that Wick has distanced himself from the two men. There are not part of his core crew, and instead have been described as “friends of friends”.

50 Cent Is My Brother, Son Of Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff Claims

December 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The son of convicted drug dealer Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff says he has a “gut feeling” that 50 Cent is his brother. “[50] act like him, he look like him, he walk like him, he talk like [him] — everything,” Kenneth Jr recently told the Let’s Get To That podcast. Furthermore, he suggested that he and Fif’s son, whom he is friends with, should take a DNA test. “That’s a question that the world wants to know [the answer to],” Kenneth Jr concluded.

The theory that Supreme is Fif’s father is a long-standing one. This is in spite of the fact that many people believe Supreme to be the one behind Fif’s 2000 shooting. Neither Supreme nor Fif have ever acknowledged the theory, for good reason. It appears that the beef between The Supreme Team and G-Unit is alive and well. Just last month, Fat Joe warned Fif’s fans about hanging out with Kenneth Jr and other members of the organization.

50 Cent Takes Aim At New Claims In Power Lawsuit

Meanwhile, Fif has been busy handling some of his outstanding legal issues. The G-Unit Mogul has requested the dismissal of assault charges claimed by Corey “Ghost” Holland. Fif has said that the former drug dealer “waited too long” to add the assault allegations to his already existing $1 billion lawsuit against the G-Unit mogul. “Plaintiff’s claim that he suffered from severe emotional distress is undermined by the allegations that Plaintiff owns a weapon and he and his family repeatedly tried to confront Jackson,” Fif’s legal team noted in court filings. “The allegation that Jackson ‘actually came to plaintiff home and neighborhood’ and ‘pull[ed] up to plaintiff home’ does not constitute a claim for assault,” Fif’s motion added.

Holland is suing Fif for $1 billion. The former drug dealer claimed that Fif is using his life story as inspiration for the Power series without permission. The additional assault claims have added an additional $300 mill to the suit. Holland has alleged that Fif has tried to intimidate him into retracting his lawsuit. “The alleged conduct—Jackson ‘came to plaintiff home and neighborhood’—took place over a year before this Action was commenced. Around late July or early August 2021, Plaintiff can’t remember exactly your honor, but defendant Jackson decided to come to plaintiff neighborhood, not once, but twice. This claim is thus untimely. The assault claim should therefore be dismissed for failure to state a claim. Because the First Amended Complaint is devoid of any allegations to support such a claim against Jackson,” Fif’s motion states.

G Herbo Demanded Funny Marco Take Down Their Viral Interview, YouTuber Claims

December 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Funny Marco has claimed that his interview with G Herbo going viral led to Herbo’s team demanding its removal. “Okay, Mr. Herbo. The sh-t go viral. Y’all seen it. Team then calls. ‘Take this shit down! Take this shit down!’” Marco claimed during a stand-up show this week. However, Marco said he refused the demand and kept the interview up. You can watch Marco’s full comments below.

Since the interview went live, Marco has claimed that the final product was much tamer than what actually happened on set. Marco alleges that he was called a “bi-tch” multiple times and that his guests broke his $30,000 watch. Herbo, who also reportedly threw a cup at Marco, has since claimed that there was no ill intent behind anything he did during the interview and that he was just being playful with Marco.

Southside, also present at the interview, also put Marco on blasting for trying to paint him as a villain. “If you a b-tch-a– n-gga just stay the f-ck from around me. I got enough b-tches. I don’t need more b-tches around me. Just leave me the f-ck alone. I don’t gotta be nobody’s friend. I’m rich, young, successful, I’m not a rapper. I’m a producer, I don’t have to do f-cking interviews,” Southside wrote on social media.

However, he was finished going off at the YouTuber. “For a n-gga to get on there saying he’s scared, you a h-e. You ain’t have to put it out h-e-a– n-gga. Now I really want to press you because you a b-tch. You a grown man. Herb wasn’t even doing nothing to that man. That’s how them folks play. It’s cool for a n-gga to get on there and say slick sh-t to a n-gga. I f-ck with Marco. Marco is still my n-gga. I don’t think he was uncomfortable. I think bro was all the way good. If he was uncomfortable it’s like alright, damn Marco, we didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable,” he continued.

Will Crip Mac & Maxo Kream Fight Soon? Mac Responds To Rapper’s Jab

December 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

During a recent interview with No Jumper, Crip Mac finally responded to a challenge from Maxo Kream to duke it out in a boxing match. Moreover, he said that he doesn’t believe in celebrity boxing matches as a whole, and that there’s not as much animosity as Maxo thinks there is. You can check it out near the beginning of the video below, and they go on to talk about a lot of different and wild topics. One of them is a “Crip Mount Rushmore,” for which Mac suggested that Blueface should be on there. So did Adam22, who the rapper recently blasted for not inviting him to party with Blue.

Furthermore, even though there have been many ups and downs, the personal brands of Adam22 and Crip Mac go together quite well in this clout-chasing, chronically online environment. In fact, Mac recently appeared on the reality show For The Love Of Lena, and his antics have really taken the program to a new level of hilarity. Lena The Plug is Adam’s wife, and their relationship as adult film stars inspires just as much discussion as clicks and revenue. We can only guess as to what antics these three will get up to in the near future.

Crip Mac Speaks On Maxo Kream’s Fight Challenge: Watch

However, let’s not forget about Maxo Kream, who also had a nice sit-down on No Jumper, which is how he got this Crip Mac discussion rolling. He’s had a relatively chill 2023, with a big hiccup being his enduring RICO charges that got him into some legal trouble earlier this year. It seems like the Houston native sidestepped any further issues regarding this, so hopefully it doesn’t come back to haunt him after already serving his time. We’ll see whether this fight with Mac ends up happening, although from the looks of it, it’s pretty unlikely.

Meanwhile, Adam and Mac had their issues in the past, so maybe the former has a bit of a bias in this matchup. Either way, we’re sure that it would be a nice piece of content to promote and play up for the cameras. Would you tune in to see which man comes out on top? Let us know in the comments and stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Maxo Kream and Crip Mac.

Diddy’s Ezili Dantor Tattoo Leads To Speculation That He’s Been “Cursed” For His Alleged Misdeeds

December 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Resurfaced photos of Diddy’s full-back tattoo of the Haitian spirit Ezili Dantor have led to wild speculation online. Many have theorized that Diddy’s recent legal troubles are a result of angering the Vodou spirit, which represents the divinity of love but has also been likened to an “angry mother” by some anthropologists. Due to Diddy’s alleged victims being women and children, some believe that Ezili Dantor is working against the Bad Boy Records founder as a form of retribution.

There are currently two active lawsuits against him, with Cassie already having settled with him. The third suit was filed on Thanksgiving, just hours before New York’s Adult Survivors Act expired. In the suit, the anonymous woman claims she went on a date with him in 1991 while attending Syracuse. However, she alleges that Diddy drugged her during dinner, before filming them while he raped her. Furthermore, she claims that she was later made aware that the video of the assault had been shown to and viewed by multiple people.

Columbus Short Claims Diddy Booty Called Him

Meanwhile, yet more allegations have been leveled at Diddy in recent days. Columbus Short has claimed that he once received a late-night booty call from Diddy. According to the actor and choreographer, Diddy called him at “2, 2:30 in the morning”. Intially, the call was to express sadness at Short not being at the BET Awards. However, he allegedly continued to take things further, telling Short that he was staying at a nearby Hilton Hotel. However, when Short who else was over there, Diddy informed him he was alone.

Rumors that the Bad Boy Records founder is closeted have long persisted throughout the music industry. “Diddy admitted to exposing Usher to older women, a hyper-sexual lifestyle, and trying to get him to lose his virginity when Usher was around 14/15,” one person wrote on social media back in July. “Lest I digress, I believe Usher’s relations with women and his life might have been different had it not been for Mr. Love,” another added in the same conversation.

Sexyy Red & Kim Kardashian Link Up For “Joint Slay” At Balenciaga Event

December 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Sexyy Red and Kim Kardashian linked up at for an unusual meeting of the cultures as both women attended a Balenciaga event in Los Angeles. Red, sporting a little pair of horns alongside her signature button-up crop attire, dubbed the meeting a “joint slay”. Furthermore, Red also referred to Kardashian as “my gurl”. The meeting was also captured by Interview Magazine. Kardashian recently interviewed NBA MVP candidate and SKIMS model Shai Gilgeous-Alexander for the outlet. The two women appeared extremely excited to see one another, and were seen happily chatting as they entered the event.

It’s been a massive year for both women. Kardashian took her personal brands to new heights, eventually earning a GQ Man of the Year nod. Furthermore, her TV outings, namely Season 4 of The Kardashians, kept her family’s name amongst the cultural zeitgeist. Meanwhile, 2023 was Red’s true musical breakout. Love her or hate her, she earned her place amongst the year’s most-talked-about artists. Furthermore, the number of bona fide stars featured on Hottest Hood Princess showed the world that Red is a person people want to work with.

Meanwhile, Red was twerking like the best of them as she celebrated the release of the deluxe version of Hottest Hood Princess. Red was turned all the way up at a release party, letting her booty shake like jello. Furthermore, Red’s impressive moves also showed that pregnancy isn’t slowing her down when comes to getting down.

The 30-minute addition to Red’s breakout album is stacked with talent. New arrivals to the album include Chief Keef, G Herbo, Sukihana, and Summer Walker. It’s an unapologetically NSFW addition to an already unapologetically NSFW album. However, at its heart, it’s clear that Red is in her element and having fun with the music she produces. The energy goes a long to help overcome the sometimes generic beats pulled straight out of the mid-2000s club scene.

Drake’s Houston Strip Club Visit Marks His First Day As A City Resident

December 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Drake had a massive 2023, but one of the big changes in his personal life overshadows much of his music success. Moreover, he recently bought a property in Houston, Texas, meaning that he can officially call H-Town his second home outside of Toronto, Canada. Apparently, this weekend marked the 6ix God’s first day as a resident; perhaps the official start of his ownership, or a move-in date? Regardless, we know one thing for sure: he was in the city looking for a good time. Furthermore, Drizzy hit up a strip club in the area to celebrate, and though we can’t see much, we’d imagine that he succeeded in finding one.

However, this isn’t the only exciting thing that Drake accomplished when it comes to his real estate or U.S. metropolis exploits. For example, he and his team will revive an old Hamburg theme park, Luna Luna, as an immersive art experience in Los Angeles. This will feature plenty of amazing artists, including giants like Jean-Michel Basquiat, Salvador Dalí, Keith Haring, and many more. It’s one of the more creative extracurriculars we’ve seen in hip-hop in recent memory, so we’re very excited to see what it’s like as it opens up to the public in December.

As the year dies down, with this art theme park closing it out, Drake has a lot of success and accolades to look back on this year. Spotify users streamed him over 11 billion times in 2023, which is a wild metric that very few other artists– regardless of genre– can also claim. In addition, the 37-year-old found just as much critical acclaim throughout the year thanks to standout tracks like “8AM In Charlotte” that developed his artistry. If you’re a rap fan and you like his music, there’s a big chance you like Scary Hours 3 to some degree.

Meanwhile, the “Wick Man” MC also got his respect from some of his fellow leaders in the hip-hop game. “To inspire my peers is everything,” Westside Gunn told us in our latest cover story. “It’s respect, you know what I’m sayin’? I like when someone’s confident enough to give somebody their flowers. Like I said, Tyler don’t have to do that ever again. He already did that. Drake don’t have to do it again, he did it. I’m gonna always respect both of them for doing that.” Read more about that in the link below and, for more news and the latest updates on Drake, come back to HNHH.

Emma Stone And The Cast Of ‘SNL’ Sang Of The Pure Naked Joys Of New York City In A Hilarious New Music Video

December 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Ahead of the premiere of her upcoming movie Poor Things, Emma Stone brought the laughs on Saturday Night Live. In her fifth time hosting the show, Stone displayed naked emotion &mdash: literally — in a new bop featuring the SNL cast.

The song, “Fully Naked In New York City,” opens with Bowen Yang finding himself down on his luck. He is seen sitting on his bed before walking around his apartment. Stone is then seen in her apartment, also finding herself lamenting the day-to-day, hustle and bustle of life. But the two quickly find that they have similar coping mechanisms.

In the next frame, the two are seen nude (digitally blurred, of course), riding on the back of a garbage truck.

In unison, Stone and Yang then reel over “Riding in the back of a garbage truck / being naked in the middle of New York City.”

Shortly after, Stone is seen sitting on a large beam, enjoying a sandwich mid-air. Several of the other SNL cast members join in on the nude fun, as Chloe Fineman, Andrew Dismukes, Chloe Troast, and more are seen dancing their way through construction sites, donning nothing but their birthday suits.

You can see the “Fully Naked In New York City” video above.

“I kind of thought, wasn’t it obvious?” she further said on the red carpet. “I didn’t realize people didn’t know, I just don’t really believe in it. I’m just like, why can’t we just exist? I’ve been doing this for a long time, and I just didn’t talk about it.”

I’m attracted to them as people. I’m attracted to them for real. I have deep connections with women in my life, the friends in my life, the family in my life. I’m physically attracted to them. But I’m also so intimidated by them and their beauty and their presence.” Check out her latest remarks on the matter below.
