November 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

This past weekend, T.I. found himself at the center of an unexpected family drama that quickly escalated on social media. Most recently, he chose to address it and move on from the situation nonchalantly. The rapper, known for his candidness, took to Instagram to address the situation involving his son, King Harris, shedding light on the family dynamics that unfolded during a public outing. “Fck what dis internet talkin bout… Da Harris Family Tied Like a Knot We all We Got…4LIFE,” T.I. declared in an Instagram post. The rapper made it clear that, regardless of the online chatter, the Harris family remains a tight-knit unit. “Ima RIDE to da heavens or da depths of HELL bout my Jr. & ain’t nothing gon change that,” he affirmed.

The controversy arose during the Atlanta Falcons’ home game with the New Orleans Saints, where T.I. brought his family to celebrate the 50th anniversary of hip-hop. However, the mood took a turn when King Harris went live on Instagram, sharing his perspective on growing up in the trap. T.I. and his wife, Tiny, quickly intervened, and set the record straight. According to them, he did not grow up in the trap and used a pacifier until the age of 12.

November 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Now that December is practically here, publications are rolling out their annual recap articles in various formats. For Forbes, it’s their annual “30 Under 30” issue that currently has the Internet talking for more reasons than one. It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Ice Spice made the outlet’s round-up after her one-of-a-kind rise to fame, but another rap diva she spent part of her 2023 beefing with can be found on the list as well. Elsewhere, 21-year-old Angel Reese gets her flowers for her role in leading LSU to its first-ever women’s basketball national championship, even with all that’s been going on with her in the media lately.

One of the older stars whom Forbes is honouring is Drew “Druski” Desbordes, a content creator and comedian who often links with friends in the hip-hop world like Jack Harlow and Drake. Earlier this year, the 29-year-old made major moves in launching his sports management agency, proving that for all the laughter he’s provided fans with over the years, he can be a strategic businessman too.

Tasha K Calls Out Joe Budden And Says He’s A “Puppet”

November 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In the fast-paced world of hip-hop gossip, Tasha K is known for fearlessly diving into controversial topics. And this time she’s calling out Joe Budden for his conspicuous silence on the Diddy scandal. “Everybody mad cause Joe ain’t speak, what y’all expect?” Tasha K declared in a recent video. She criticized the podcast host for citing legal reasons as his rationale for not addressing the accusations against Diddy. Tasha K, no stranger to pushing the envelope, raised a thought-provoking question about the consequences of speaking out against powerful figures. She drew a parallel to Wendy Williams’ post-reporting struggles. She questioned, “Have you seen any major sites reporting on the fact that he did or didn’t do it? Diddy is notorious for having people fired. He’s trained them not to speak out, whether it’s true or not true.”

However, the controversial commentator argued there’s a reason Joe Budden is hesitant. Furthermore, she thinks him not delving into the Diddy scandal is rooted in a personal connection. “This [Diddy situation] was personal for Joe. He’s been on the internet a long time and has seen clips of himself circulating about women making allegations of him abusing them,” Tasha K claimed. In her eyes, Budden’s transformation into a domesticated man with a girlfriend doesn’t clear him of potential skeletons in his closet. Moreover, Tasha K boldly asserted that Joe Budden is involved in this world. A world that tolerates and even celebrates individuals accused of mistreating women.

Tasha K Doesn’t Hold Back

“Joe loves woman beaters. That’s his world,” she says. “And just because he’s not in that world anymore, he’s an at-home man and has a girlfriend now. There’s a lot of sh-t that ain’t come out about him yet.” Moreover, while the controversy surrounding Diddy continues to make waves, Tasha K’s scrutiny of Joe Budden adds another layer to the ongoing conversation.

In the unpredictable realm of hip-hop drama, it remains to be seen whether Joe Budden will break his silence and address the allegations against Diddy. Moreover, audiences wonder if he’ll continue to navigate the fine line between loyalty and journalistic integrity. However, let us know your thoughts on HNHH! Should Joe Budden have reported on the Diddy situation? What do you think of his reasoning for why he didnt?

Since finding Revolt in 2013, alongside Andy Schuon, Combs served as a chairman for the network, however, was not actively involved in the network’s operations, according to a post from Revolt’s Instagram.

“Sean Combs has stepped down from his position as chairman of Revolt,” read the post. “While Mr. Combs has previously had no operational or day-to-day role in the business, this decision helps to ensure that Revolt remains steadfastly focused on our mission to create meaningful content for the culture and amplify the voices of all Black people throughout this country and the African diaspora.”

ASAP Rocky has been teasing a new album called Don’t Be Dumb for a long time. When it does eventually release, it’ll be his first new album since 2018’s Testing. But in the meantime, he appears to be working on other new music entirely. In a recent tweet, Westside Gunn revealed that he had been in the studio with Rocky and Damon Albarn, apparently working on something for Albarn’s Gorillaz project.

Earlier this year, ASAP Rocky and Rihanna had their second child together. It was just a few months ago that the child’s name was publicly revealed to be Riot. Many fans liked the name a lot, especially when it’s paired with the middle name Rose. But others thought it was corny for Rocky to release a new song with the same title right around when the baby’s name was revealed.
