Uproxx Music 20: RIMON Moves With Grace And Sings To Soothe The Worrying Mind

April 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

RIMON 'Uproxx Music 20" Questions — TBD/Merle Cooper

The first time Eritrean-born, Amsterdam-raised singer RIMON graced my ears was back in 2021 with the release of her second EP I Shine, U Shine. Its six songs present a blend of dancehall, neo-soul, and hip-hop that soothe the ears as much as it adds a pep to your step. “Out Of My Way” is a perfect example of that as RIMON issues a warning to a soon-to-be partner moments she begins an endless free-fall into love. Immediately after that record comes “Got My Back” with Denzel Curry where the two artists play the role of two partners filled with gratitude for the support they give one another.

Three years later, and RIMON has only gotten better. Her latest single “Flowers” is a towering epic that magnifies her pleas to loved ones as she begs them to accept the well-deserved praise and honor she bestows upon them. Prior to that record, RIMON professed her commitment to a lifelong love on the triumphant “I Choose U” with RINI before calling on Kelz2busy to ensure the memories of a past relationship would live on in her mind on the enchanting “Can’t Forget.” It’s these records and others that emphasize RIMON’s graceful approach and determination to soothe the worrying mind, even if it’s her own in some cases.

RIMON is currently hard at work on her debut album, and in the midst of that, the singer found a second to answer our Uproxx Music 20 questions that shed light on her inspirations, influences, and future aspirations.

What is your earliest memory of music?

It has to be me listening and watching the video of “Lady Marmalade” by Christina Aguilera, Missy Elliott, Mýa, Pink, and Lil’ Kim on this tiny television whilst I was living on a boat that temporarily hosted refugees. I was so intrigued by all those badass women.

Who inspired you to take music seriously?

A lot of people. I was considering it, but I thought it would be very difficult. Until SoundCloud and streaming became a thing and the entry to releasing music was way easier than before. I’d listen to people like Abra, SZA and Jorja Smith before they blew up and seeing women making a career for themselves without huge labels convinced me to also try.

Do you know how to play an instrument? If so, which one? If not, which instrument do you want to learn how to play?

I used to play the piano as a kid, I kinda forgot everything. Except for some basic chords, but I told myself to get back into it and bought a piano to practice. In the pandemic, I tried the guitar, but I don’t want to give up on my long nails [laughs].

What was your first job?

I used to deliver the local newspaper in my town when I was 12. That sh*t was so hard, and way too heavy to carry by myself, I don’t even know if that sh*t was legal.

What is your most prized possession?

I don’t often buy very expensive things, but I think a bag that I got gifted from Louboutin. It’s fully covered in Swarovski diamonds, I can’t even find the price online that’s how I know it’s expensive.

What is your biggest fear?

Subconsciously it would be losing my mom, but I don’t want to give into that fear.

Who is on your R&B Mt. Rushmore?

Nina Simone, Beyoncé, Lauryn Hill, and Erykah Badu.

You get 24 hours to yourself to do anything you want, with unlimited resources: What are you doing? And spare no details!

I’d book a big ass private jet that fits all of my friends and family and fly to a destination that is not too far, let’s say Milano, Italy. We’d take the morning to go shopping for everyone — clothes, glam, everything. Then we’d head to Lake Como, rent a boat and spend the day on the water, eating, swimming and drinking. From here we’d have dinner near the lake and then take the plane to London to spend the night partying over there and all stay in the same hotel and wake up with a hangover. Good memories and a brand-new wardrobe.

What are your three most used emojis?

What’s a feature you need to secure before you die?

Kendrick Lamar and The Weeknd.

If you could appear in a future season of a current TV show, which one would it be and why?

I hardly watch TV shows at the moment, but if I could pick a movie it would be Dune 3.

Which celebrity do you admire or respect for their personality and why?

Rihanna! See just seems so fun, a rebel at heart and looks like she’s always having a good time, but also remaining a bit private, you know? As well as her being the businesswoman that she is and always including her roots, it’s all qualities and things I relate to myself.

Share your opinion on something no one could ever change your mind about.

That astrology is real. It’s just too accurate, and lots of people think it’s bullshit, but I truly relate to so much of it, in regards to myself but also people around me.

What is the best song you’ve ever heard in your life and what do you love about it?

It’s between “Ultralight Beam” by Kanye West and “Yebba’s Heartbreak” by Yebba. “Ultralight Beam” is just a spiritual experience packaged in a song, it’s just too good and so powerful with the choir, Chance’s verse, and the drums. “Yebba’s Heartbreak” is one of those songs that had me crying so many times. Her vocals, the lyrics, the piano, everything about it is just so beautiful.

What’s your favorite city in the world to perform, and what’s a city you’re excited to perform in for the first time?

I think Paris! It’s the place I’ve performed the most I think so far, and I just love their crowds, you can tell they really appreciate music. I’ve never performed in New York, so that’s definitely on my list!

You are throwing a music festival. Give us the dream lineup of 5 artists that will perform with you and the location where it would be held.

Rosalía, Travis Scott, Tame Impala, Burna Boy and Erykah Badu. This is based on energy and the ‘live’ experience. I think it would be somewhere near water. Maybe in the Azores? That would be cool.

What would you be doing now if it weren’t for music?

Probably still in the creative industry. Either a creative director, photographer or director.

If you could see five years into the future or go five years into the past, which one would you pick and why?

Definitely the past! What’s fun about knowing what’s ahead of you? Also, I’m a sentimental and nostalgic person, so I’d just love to relive some of my best memories.

What’s one piece of advice you’d go back in time to give to your 18-year-old self?

Stand your ground more, stop being too nice to people, and have clearer boundaries from the jump.

It’s 2050. The world hasn’t ended, and people are still listening to your music. How would you like it to be remembered?

As something that impacted some part of their lives, even if it’s a small part. That it encouraged them, healed something in them, or helped them feel less alone in their feelings.

Who Runs Tupac Shakur’s Estate?

April 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Although it’s been over 25 years since the tragic passing of Tupac Shakur, his name remains alive, and through the power of Artificial Intelligence, his voice apparently continues to echo. If you’ve been hiding under a rock this week, Drake unleashed his second diss track directed toward Kendrick Lamar, “Taylor Made Freestyle.” The follow-up to “Push Ups,” released exclusively on his Instagram and X (formerly Twitter), found Drake treading the muddy waters of AI as he emulated West Coast legends Snoop Dogg and the late Tupac Shakur in an attempt to troll Kendrick Lamar.

“Taylor Made Freestyle” – much like the majority of Drake’s recent releases – divided the internet. Some believed it was a brilliant chess move while others felt as though it opened the floodgates for AI and set a terrible precedent for the future of the music industry. Snoop Dogg ultimately shrugged it off humorously on 4/20 yet the estate of Tupac Shakur wasn’t as forgiving. Attorney Howard King, mitigator for Tupac’s Estate, reportedly sent a cease-and-desist demanding Drake remove the song online before facing further legal matters. Ultimately, this raised the question: who runs Tupac Shakur’s estate in 2024?

Tom Whalley: The Executor Of Tupac’s Estate

Tom Whalley is currently the executor of Tupac Shakur’s estate with King as the litigator. Whalley took on the role of executor following the death of Tupac’s mother, Afeni Shakur, in 2016. Whalley, who previously served as the CEO of Warner Records, worked at Interscope Records and helped ‘Pac land a record deal with the label.

Who Is Tom Whalley?

Whalley’s experience in the music industry dates back nearly four decades. As mentioned, he served as the CEO of Warner Music Records and also helped co-found Interscope Records where he eventually signed Tupac. Moreover, he formed Loma Vista Records after his stint with Warner Bros. Loma Vista boasts talents such as Action Bronson, Meechy Darko, Killer Mike, Denzel Curry and more.

Whalley Faces Accusations Of Mishandling Tupac’s Estate

Though King suggests that Whalley is a close confidant of the Shakur family, a lawsuit filed by Tupac’s sister, Sekyiwa Shakur, suggests otherwise. Per Billboard, Shakur accused Whalley of ”blatant violations” as the executor of her brother’s estate in a lawsuit filed to a Los Angeles court in January 2022. She alleged that Whalley put himself in a key management role of Afeni’s estate after her passing. While Afeni was the beneficiary of Tupac’s estate, Whalley became the executor of her estate after her passing.

“He has effectively embezzled millions of dollars for his own benefit,” Sekyiwa wrote. “Whalley has unreasonably enriched himself at the expense of the beneficiaries and in bad faith by taking excessive compensation in a position from which he should properly be barred based on the inherent conflict of interest… Whalley has already received more than $5.5 million that he has paid himself in the last five years through Amaru [Entertainment].”

In response, Howard King stated Whalley was a “friend and confidant” of Tupac and his mother. “These legal claims are disappointing and detrimental to all beneficiaries of the trust,” King said. “We are confident the court will promptly conclude that Tom has always acted in the best interests of Amaru, the trust, and all beneficiaries.”

Tupac Estate Net Worth

Though certain sources, such as Celebrity Net Worth, indicate that Tupac passed away with $200K to his name, others, like The Richest, suggest that his estate’s net worth is somewhere around $40M. Though these figures are ballpark estimations, and not definitive, the release of his posthumous albums and his catalog as a whole, along with licensing, merch, and other ventures, has undoubtedly contributed to the impressive figure.

The Connection To Kendrick Lamar

Kendrick Lamar’s love for Tupac has been well-documented over the years, specifically on his 2015 opus, To Pimp A Butterfly. The album’s final song, “Mortal Man,” contains a posthumous conversation between Kendrick and Tupac, deriving from a 20-plus-year-old audio interview with the late rapper. Of course, this likely wouldn’t have been possible without the blessing of Tupac’s Estate which, at the time, was managed by Afeni Shakur alongside Whalley.

“I thought it was a brilliant idea, and they sent me portions of what he was thinking of doing creatively around it, and I supported it. I knew Kendrick was a fan and influenced by Tupac, and I always do what I think Tupac would do,” Whalley said at the time, per Billboard.

What Did Tupac’s Estate Tell Drake

A post shared by champagnepapi (@champagnepapi)

With that in mind, it doesn’t come as much of a shock that Tupac’s estate intervened once Drake dropped “Taylor Made Freestyle.” Following the online discourse surrounding the use of AI to replicate the West Coast legend’s voice – a clear attempt to troll Kendrick – King, on behalf of Tupac’s estate, demanded that Drake remove the AI track from his social accounts immediately.

“The Estate is deeply dismayed and disappointed by your unauthorized use of Tupac’s voice and personality,” Howard King wrote in a letter obtained by Billboard. “Not only is the record a flagrant violation of Tupac’s publicity and the estate’s legal rights, it is also a blatant abuse of the legacy of one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time. The Estate would never have given its approval for this use.”

He added, “The unauthorized, equally dismaying use of Tupac’s voice against Kendrick Lamar, a good friend to the Estate who has given nothing but respect to Tupac and his legacy publicly and privately, compounds the insult.”

Beyonce Surprise Stagecoach Set Seemingly Debunked By TikToker

April 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Over the weekend, some of the biggest country stars in the entire genre will hit the Indio Valley. Just after Coachella wrapped up, yet another Goldenvoice festival called Stagecoach will get underway. The headliners are Eric Church, Miranda Lambert, and Morgan Wallen, but they’re just the tip of the iceberg. Bailey Zimmerman, Jelly Roll, and even some crossover stars like Elle King, Post Malone, and The Beach Boys will take the stage. But fans were hoping that yet another superstar might be in the mix for a performance at the festival.

Earlier this year, Beyonce released her new album COWBOY CARTER. While the project includes numerous genre experiments it is primarily an exploration of country music. So when the festival promised a secret surprise guest that nobody online knew, many fans started speculating. That caused one TikTok account called @beysus.christ to begin investigating. She went full internet detective digging through various Instagram accounts before uncovering that of a woman called Katie Alexander. Through even more digging she uncovered an old Instagram post where Alexander all but confirmed she’s the secret DJ Backwoods Barbie. Check out the post recapping her full investigation below.

Beyonce May Not Be At Stagecoach After All

Beyonce fans are no joke. They delivered her the highest first week sales of any album so far in 2024 with COWBOY CARTER, though Taylor Swift is about to break it with The Tortured Poets Department. Her fans even streamed and bought the album enough for it to spend a second week on the top spot of the Billboard 200, preventing J. Cole’s mixtape Might Delete Later from debuting at number one. She also scored a number one hit earlier this year when she dropped the album’s lead single “TEXAS HOLD EM.”

What do you think of the lengths one Beyonce fan went to find out if queen Bey was making a surprise performance at Stagecoach over the weekend? Do you plan on attending the festival later this week? Let us know in the comment section below.

UMG Boss Lucian Grainge Wants Court To Dismiss Him From Lil Rod’s Diddy Lawsuit

April 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The lawsuit against Diddy from Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones, the producer accusing him of sexual assault and sex trafficking, doesn’t just include allegations against the Bad Boy mogul. Moreover, two big record companies appeared as defendants in this suit due to alleged liability reasons: Motown and Universal Music Group (UMG), plus a notable individual. This is the head of the latter organization, Sir Lucian Grainge, who reportedly requested the court via his legal team (which is also acting on behalf of these companies) for dismissal from the case altogether. Attorneys for all three parties, referred to as “the UMG Defendants,” reportedly filed a motion for this dismissal on Wednesday (April 24) and asked a New York judge to throw out all claims concerning them with prejudice, according to court documents reportedly obtained by journalist Meghann Cuniff.

“All of the claims against Grainge, Motown and UMG Recordings (the ‘UMG Defendants’) in the [second amended complaint] are lacking in any legally cognizable basis,” lawyers supposedly argued in court docs concerning the Diddy case. “Every claim [premises] on the untenable strict liability theory that when one enters into a commercial contract, the payor under that contract becomes liable for anything that the recipient of payment does with the payment.

“There is no law underpinning such theory and the baseless ‘general business partnership’ allegation in the [second amended complaint] provides no support,” the legal team reportedly continued in their argument in dismissal from the Diddy case. “The claims against the UMG Defendants are entirely bereft of legal merit and should be dismissed with prejudice.” Lil Rod’s lawsuit claims that Lucian Grainge helped Sean Combs engage in his crimes, which Grainge’s attorneys allegedly denied outright. “Plaintiff and his counsel (Blackburn) have blown up a $50,000 claim for underpayment for production services into criminal accusations against Sean Combs and his associates,” they reportedly expressed.

“Not content to pursue Combs alone, without any factual or legal basis, Plaintiff and his counsel (Blackburn) have also improperly accused Grainge, UMG Recordings and Motown (collectively, the UMG Defendants) of furthering, participating in, and helping to conceal the alleged conduct of Combs and his associates based on a knowingly false ‘general business partnership’ allegation coupled with the fabrication of a non-existent duty to supervise and control how Combs spent his own money,” they concluded. Regardless, for more news and the latest updates on the Diddy case, log back into HNHH.

Jeannie Mai Accused Jeezy Of Physical Abuse And Child Neglect In A New Court Filing

April 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In a new court filling, Jeannie Mai accused ex-husband Jeezy of both physical abuse and child neglect — claims he denies. According to Complex, which confirmed the documents, Mai had the former couple’s two-year-old daughter Monaco removed from their Atlanta home after she was found with a bag containing an AK-47 assault rifle. Mai also accused the Atlanta rap star of leaving the weapon in easy reach of the toddler, including on the couple’s bedroom floor.

As for the abuse allegations, Mai said Jeezy hit her on multiple occasions, including an incident in 2022 shortly after Monaco’s birth in which he punched her in the face. After consulting a therapist and a pastor, they decided to move on from the incident; a few months later, though, she says Jeezy choked her from behind and pushed her down a flight of stairs at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in San Francisco, prompting hotel security to step in.

In another incident, Jeezy allegedly crashed a golf cart while intoxicated, injuring both himself and Mai. The filing is quoted, “[Jeezy] has a history of threats, violence, and bodily harm. [Mai] mistakenly believed [Jeezy] when he convinced her prior to their marriage that he was a changed man, and his past was in his past, but as one can see from the examples of abuse [Mai] endured during the marriage that has not turned out to be the case.”

Jeezy denied the allegations in an Instagram post, writing, “The allegations are not only false, but also deeply disturbing, especially coming from someone I loved. This malicious attempt to tarnish my character and disrupt my family is ridiculous. It’s disheartening to witness the manipulation and deceit at play and at this time my main concern is being an active father to our daughter as I continue to fight for court mandated joint custody. Rest assured, the truth will prevail through the proper legal channels.”

Beyonce Surprises Adorable 2-Year-Old Superfan With Heartfelt Gifts

April 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that Beyonce has a fiercely loyal fanbase, and evidently, members of her hive are getting started young. Last week, Instagram user Beau Fabregas shared a clip of her and her 2-year-old son Tyler enjoying a pizza date when he adorably asked if they could visit Beyonce. “We don’t know her personally,” Fabregas explained to him. “She’s not mama’s friend.” Tyler was persistent, however, insisting that they do know her personally. “Beyonce is my friend,” he declared.

Fortunately for the young fan, Beyonce caught wind of the heartwarming video and decided to thank him for his support with some meaningful gifts. Fabregas shared another post earlier this week revealing that Bey’s publicist sent her a DM claiming that the hitmaker “would love to send something to him.” Of course, she agreed, sharing photos of Tyler posing next to a bouquet of bright blue flowers and a new stuffed animal.

Tyler & Beyonce Are Officially Friends

“For the record @beyonce and Tyler are now actually, officially friends!” Fabregas captioned her post. “Through the power of Queen B’s internet (millions of views and likes it’s cr*zy!) she saw the video and sent over some of her favorite blue flowers, a new animal best friend for Tyler and the sweetest message that our family will now always treasure. In her note (which she started out with ‘To my friend Tyler’) she said, ‘I see your halo, Tyler.’”

“Thank you so much for thinking of our little family @yvettenoelschure @beyonce. I mean with the amount of mentions and videos Beyonce gets everyday, it still blows our mind to know time was set aside to send this sweet gift over. My mama heart,” she continued. “BEYONCE SENT MY BABY FLOWERS!!!!” What do you think of Beyonce thanking her 2-year-old superfan with some heartfelt gifts?

Coi Leray Teases New Music With Flirty Bathtub Selfies

April 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It goes without saying that it’s been a busy few weeks for Coi Leray. Aside from her unforgettable Coachella sets, the “Players” performer has been hinting at some major career pivots as of late. Earlier this week, she took to Twitter/X to express that she feels as though fans are far too attached to a persona that’s just no longer “her.”

According to her, it holds her back from being able to freely evolve as an artist, and as an individual. She’s even hinted at a name change recently, suggesting that she’ll remove the “Leray” from her name to just go by Coi. It’s to be seen whether or not she’ll fully commit to that anytime soon.

Coi Leray Has New Music Arriving At Midnight

A post shared by Coi (@coileray)

For the time being, Coi is gearing up to unveil more new music at midnight (April 26). To get fans prepared, she took to Instagram today to drop off a series of flirty selfies in a bathtub. “No filter . New music @ midnight,” she captioned the carousel. It remains unclear exactly she plans to drop, but she did perform two unreleased songs at Coachella, “Coke Bottle Body” and “Not in the Store.”

Coi’s Instagram post comes after she opened up about her decision to leave Republic Records during a chat with fans on Instagram Live. “When I dropped Blue Moon, Republic, they wanted pop sh*t. They wanted some Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande sh*t,” she explained earlier this week. “Which I can do, but I still like to work at my own pace and on my own time, and I’m still developing and learning my own sound and sh*t.” What do you think of Coi Leray’s latest bathtub Instagram post? Are you looking forward to hearing what she drops tonight? What about the hitmaker embracing her new era?

50 Cent Thinks Joe Biden’s Tax Increase Proposals Are “Not It”

April 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent has never been that much of a fan of President Joe Biden, something that he makes very clear through his many social media posts on his proposals, actions, etc. Moreover, the most recent example of this phenomenon has to do with No. 46’s budget proposition for the 2025 fiscal year, pushing for an increase to 44.6% in capital gains taxes for individuals with over $1 million in taxable income and over $400,000 in investment earnings. It looks like this falls in Fif’s wildly successful tax bracket, as he took to Instagram on Thursday (April 25) to share a Wealth report on the matter. According to the publication, this would be the biggest capital gains tax rate in over 100 years in the U.S. with the goal of equalizing taxing for investment income and wage income.

“COME ON NOW JOE, THINK OF SOMETHING ELSE THIS IS NOT IT!” 50 Cent captioned his repost of this Wealth report. While hip-hop has never been the end-all, be-all for solid political opinions on either side of the aisle, there have been plenty of mixed rap reactions to many of Joe Biden’s actions and moves as the nation’s president. For one, GloRilla seemingly dodged endorsing him outright despite her White House visit. It’s a moment that went both ways by metaphorically extending her hand out for a greeting rather than going in for the full hug.

50 Cent Reacts To Joe Biden’s Proposed Tax Increases

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by 50 Cent (@50cent)

Meanwhile, there is one recent development outside of politics that 50 Cent definitely endorses: Gucci Mane’s diss track against Diddy, “TakeDat.” For those unaware, Fif has spent a bulk of his time on social media attacking the Bad Boy mogul amid the wave of allegations against him concerning multiple sex crimes. As such, it’s no surprise that a lyrical takedown of him, albeit a tongue-in-cheek and mostly extravagant one, would excite him. Is there a remix on the way?

Jokes aside, what do you think about this proposed tax increase? What about other recent moves in politics, such as the TikTok ban? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and more updates on 50 Cent and President Joe Biden.

Metro Boomin Shares Cryptic Update On “Savage Mode III” With 21 Savage

April 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Fans have been eagerly awaiting Metro Boomin and 21 Savage’s Savage Mode III since the original collaborative EP’s sequel came out in 2020. Fortunately, it looks like they may not have to wait too much longer. During a recent interview with XXL, the award-winning producer gave listeners a highly requested update on the project. According to him, fans “just got to stay tuned.”

Any update on the project is certainly exciting for the duo’s fanbase. His response, however, still leaves many questions to be answered. When asked why he’s keeping so quiet on the status of the project, his response was simple. “I don’t talk much so I don’t get fined,” he said. It remains unclear exactly who Metro is worried about getting a fine from.

Metro Boomin Says He Doesn’t Talk Much So He Won’t Get Fined

Of course, Metro Boomin’s latest update on Savage Mode III has also sparked some conversation around his relationship with 21 Savage. The update comes only weeks after his Her Loss collaborator Drake was dissed on Metro’s collaborative album We Don’t Trust You with Future, as well as its sequel We Still Don’t Trust You. It’s to be seen whether or not 21 would be willing to put out a project with Metro so soon after that whole debacle, particularly considering all of the drama that’s unfolded as a result. With that being said, J. Cole hopped on Metro and Future’s sequel after Drake and himself were dissed on the original, so it appears as though nothing is totally off the table.

What do you think of Metro Boomin claiming that fans should “stay tuned” for more news about his collaborative project with 21 Savage, Savage Mode III? Are you looking forward to hearing it? What about him claiming that he’s not saying too much to avoid getting fined? Who do you think he’s worried about getting a fine from? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Sukihana Arrested In Florida On Drug Charges: Details

April 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Sukihana was reportedly arrested in South Florida on Thursday afternoon (April 25) and charged with ecstasy and codeine possession with intent to distribute. This is a very early XXL report with not a lot of info at press time, so take this with a grain of salt as there’s probably going to be a clarifying update coming soon. Still, a lot of folks expressed surprise or interest in this online, and the only thing they have to discuss this with are just theories. It’s kind of similar to relationship rumors that are circling her and Ray J as of late, although these are obviously very different circumstances.

Moreover, the Delaware native is known to be in the headlines for pretty wild reasons these days, but most of them relate to her antics. For example, she recently got into it with Peter Thomas of RHOA over her lewd behavior, and their back-and-forth clap-backs were pretty nasty. Of course, Sukihana knows pretty well how to capitalize on moments like these, associate herself with the right people, and build her name off of her unapologetic persona. Right now, though, it seems like this might be an example of this approach backfiring, although there is probably much more to this story that will make these assumptions moot.

Elsewhere, though, she is also taking it upon herself to provide some heartening moments for the rap community, or at least, that’s what she did at Rolling Loud recently. Furthermore, Sukihana brought out OJ Da Juiceman during her set, giving him a slot shortly after his release from prison. It was a pretty big moment to witness for fans, and it’s a perfect example of how moments like these can make for profile-boosting and resonant moments for fans and the larger rap community as a whole. Hopefully folks return the favor for her if this news is true.

Meanwhile, we’ll see what the Bad Vs. Wild star has to say about this, and just how serious this arrest is. After all, it could be something that a quick bond or legal process clears up, or something much harsher and more grueling. Either way, we’re sure that whenever she gets a chance to speak out, it will be quite the doozy. On that note, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Sukihana.
