Kendrick Lamar’s “Pop Out” Cost Roddy Ricch His Paris Fashion Week Plans

June 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last week, Kendrick Lamar hosted his highly anticipated “Pop Out” event at the Forum in LA, surrounded by several of his celebrity peers. YG, Tyler, The Creator, Dr. Dre, and many more made appearances. Roddy Ricch even came out to perform his hit track “The Box.” As expected, he had the whole arena jumping.

According to Roddy Ricch, however, he almost wasn’t on the lineup at all. During a recent chat with Big Boy, he revealed that he originally had other plans. Luckily, he ultimately decided to prioritize “The Pop Out,” though he had to give up Paris Fashion Week in order to do so.

“Yeah, Paris Fashion Week canceled,” he explained. “We just had plans, and I had talked to Dot. I’m like, ‘Man, I spent a lot of money in Paris already.’” Roddy Ricch says that after thinking it over for a couple of days, he decided that he simply couldn’t miss the LA show. “It’s bigger than us,” he added. “It’s a blessing to just see everybody from the different communities just being together.” While he’s surely disappointed that he had to give up PFW to perform at the historic concert, he doesn’t appear to regret his decision in the slightest. The rapper was among the first artists confirmed to be performing at the event, and made his excitement known early on.

“ITS LIKE INCOME TAX DAY IN LA TODAY!” he captioned a photo of a concert flyer the day of the show. What do you think of Roddy Ricch choosing Kendrick Lamar’s “Pop Out” over his Paris Fashion Week plans? Did he make the right choice or not? Who was your favorite special guest at the show?

Foolio’s Attorney Confirms His Passing, Asks For Respect & Privacy On Family’s Behalf

June 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The news of Foolio’s tragic loss in Tampa, Florida following a shooting at his birthday party has been reportedly confirmed by his lawyer, Lewis Fusco. Moreover, he shared an Instagram Story on Sunday morning (June 23) asking fans to respect his family’s privacy during this time, and also confirmed the news with local Jacksonville news outlet News4JAX or WJXT4. “We will not be making any additional statements until further notice,” Fusco wrote on IG, reposting coverage of the murder. “Please respect his family during this difficult time. Rest in peace @julio_foolio.”

What happened in this situation coincided with Foolio’s 26th birthday pool party celebrations in Tampa at an Airbnb over the weekend. They moved to a Holiday Inn after police shut down the first shindig, and some reports suggested that he was making his location pretty clear online. The “ambush” shooting took the Confidential Thoughts rapper’s life and injured three others, and very little is known at press time about the perpetrators, what specifically happened, whether or not he was involved in any way, or other details about the shooting. “Y’all took my boyfriend from me. I hate y’all & I won’t be the only one crying [broken heart emoji],” his alleged girlfriend Mani shared on Twitter on Sunday.

“God thank you for allowing me to see another Year & To celebrate another birthday,” Foolio had tweeted on Friday (June 21), his actual birthday before the weekend’s celebrations. “Appreciate all the birthday wishes so far.” Sadly, his social media presence was quite a combative one that involved a lot of beef and tension with other rappers and celebrities. While the Jacksonville MC was always one to speak out, a lot of folks hoped he would be able to move past that and into a better phase of his life and career.

After all, Foolio had suffered various shootings before his tragic and untimely passing. Our prayers and best wishes are with his family and loved ones, and we hope that hip-hop can take this loss and build bridges out of it. We shouldn’t lose more artists and community members to avoidable conflicts, and we must be aware of how dangerously we allow some artists to live their lives unchecked. We’ll see what other details emerge from this story.

Diddy Drops $60M Sean John Lawsuit Amid Federal Sex Trafficking Investigation

June 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It goes without saying that Diddy has a lot on his plate at the moment, and recently, he decided to check one box off his list. According to an exclusive report by AllHipHop, the mogul has dropped his $60 million lawsuit against the fashion brand he founded, Sean John. Reportedly, he sold 90 percent of the brand to Global Brands Group (GBG) back in 2016. The relationship took a turn for the worse in 2021.

In February of that year, he filed various lawsuits against GBG. He accused them of using his likeness to promote their products without permission. The fashion house later filed for bankruptcy, and Diddy secured a winning bid to buy back the struggling Sean John brand for $7.5 million. The lawsuit’s dismissal will allow the Bad Boy Records founder to pursue legal action against GBG in the future if he chooses.

For now, however, it appears as though he has bigger fish to fry, as he’s facing several lawsuits accusing him of sexual assault, abuse, and more. He’s also currently at the center of a federal sex trafficking investigation. This is what prompted raids of two of his mansions earlier this year. Matters were only made worse for Diddy last month when disturbing footage of him and his ex-girlfriend Cassie surfaced online.

In the 2016 footage, he can be seen chasing Cassie at a hotel, kicking her, and more. He’s since apologized for his past behavior, though it did little to mitigate the damage done to his reputation. What do you think of Diddy dropping his $60M lawsuit against Sean John amid all his other legal woes? Are you surprised or not?

Latto Teases Album Title & Brings Out 21 Savage, Usher, & More Guests At Hot 107.9 Birthday Bash

June 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Latto recently made Atlanta’s HOT 107.9 radio station history by becoming the first female artist to headline their Birthday Bash festival in the city. Moreover, she treated fans to a pretty energetic, star-studded, and monumental show that teased the title of her upcoming new album as Sugar Honey Iced Tea. The ATL femcee brought out her rumored boo 21 Savage, Usher, Summer Walker, Anycia, and Rasheeda as special guests for the performance as well, making sure that folks had new things to look forward to every few songs. It all seemed like a lot of fun, and like she’s almost ready to take things to the next level with her soon-to-come LP.

Furthermore, this Birthday Bash performance also prompted some interesting theories and possible updates on the whole Ice Spice beef. For those unaware, Latto seemed to directly diss Spice by referencing her “Think U The S**t (Fart)” song in a tweet, following months of tension and back-and-forths. In addition, this HOT 107.9 performance’s tease of a potential new album title with Sugar Honey Iced Tea also adds to this theory and saga. After all, spell out the acronym behind that possible album title, and you’ve got a whole lot of shade over the Bronx femcee’s earlier 2024 single.

Meanwhile, Latto is also making headlines thanks to Azealia Banks’ viral thoughts on her. “She is really missing out on so much iconicness by not being ‘mulatto,’” Banks suggested on Twitter. “2nd off, for all that social backlash and for people to be dumb enough not to realize her name is still Mulatto but abbreviated should prove that they stupid internet anger addicts. Who are not as socially insightful as they think they are and made all that ruckus just to get hoodwinked. PLUS IS HER CALLING HERSELF MULATTO AT ALL EVEN SLIGHTLY AS DENIGRATING And DETRIMENTAL AS BLACK ARTISTS CALLING THEMSELVES AND THEIR PEERS N*****S ALL DAY?????????????????”

Regardless of what wild takes there are concerning Latto online, she continues to impress, apply pressure, and build a lot of support and anticipation for her next big move. Hopefully it comes sooner rather than later. It’s been a long journey up to this point and we haven’t gotten a full-length release in a while. So we’ll see what guests pop up, what the final title will be, and what she will lyrically and commercially stun with.

Vory Defends Drake After Ryan Garcia Accuses Him Of Killing XXXTentacion

June 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week, Ryan Garcia took to Twitter/X to perpetuate an ongoing conspiracy theory that Drake was responsible for the death of XXXTentacion. Of course, this is unconfirmed and only an allegation, but the rapper’s associates are upset about it nonetheless. Vory, for example, took to his Instagram Story recently to shut it down.

“Why do yall keep playing w @champagnepapi like he’s not the greatest of all times,” he began. “I’ve been silent for months but come on now bro do yall understand who tf this man is!!! Stop believing the goofy a** sh*t DRAKE IS DRAKE ACCEPT it! N****s got real life going on fr OVO took me in as a lil brotha since I was 19 I’m 26. Now I could never n will never. Same w Ye.”

Vory didn’t stop there, however. He went on to reiterate his loyalty to various other artists as well, claiming that he felt the need to clear things up. “Sorry to break yall hearts,” he wrote in part. “But Drake & the whole OVO is my family forever.” As for XXXTentacion’s associates, DJ Scheme recently chimed in on Garcia’s accusation on Twitter. He made it clear that while it isn’t true, he’s still not a fan of Drake due to the way he publicly reacted to X’s passing.

“My Only Issue Is That After My Brother Died All Drake Did Was Throw Shots To Look More Gangster. So To Wrap Things Up It’s Still F*ck Drake,” he said. What do you think of Vory sticking up for Drake after Ryan Garcia’s XXXTentacion accusation? Are you surprised or not? What about his claims about OVO being his family forever?

Foolio Reportedly Dies At 26 After Tampa Birthday Party Shooting

June 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The hip-hop community is in mourning once again, as according to reports, Jacksonville rapper Julio Foolio was shot and killed in Tampa this weekend. Based on various posts on his Instagram Story, he had been celebrating his 26th birthday with a pool party at a local Airbnb when police shut things down. After that, he and other attendees appeared to move to another location. Some reports suggest that this was a nearby Holiday Inn, where a shooting took place early this morning, killing one and leaving three others injured. Foolio’s involvement in this particular shooting is unconfirmed at the time of writing, however, and the exact circumstances leading up to his reported death remain unclear.

“Y’all took my boyfriend from me. I hate y’all & I won’t be the only one crying [broken heart emoji],” Foolio’s girlfriend Mani Tweeted earlier today. Other associates and loved ones are leaving heartfelt and emotional messages about his reported passing under his recent posts, many of which have to do with his aforementioned birthday celebration. “Rest in power,” one of them wrote today.

Foolio Reportedly Killed At Tampa Hotel

“God thank you for allowing me to see another Year & To celebrate another birthday,” the newly 26-year-old Tweeted on Friday (June 21). “Appreciate all the birthday wishes so far.” In another post, he expressed excitement as he arrived at the Airbnb where he planned to host his pool party. Sadly, this isn’t the first tragic and untimely loss hip-hop fans have seen as of late. Earlier this month, it was reported that 1017 artist Enchanting passed away shortly after being put on life support.

Again, the circumstances leading up to her death are unconfirmed. She was also only 26, and her passing resulted in countless heartfelt messages about her life and lasting legacy. Our sympathy goes out to Foolio’s loved ones as they mourn the tragic and unexpected loss. Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Kendrick Lamar & His Security Arrive At Compton City Hall For “Not Like Us” Music Video Shoot

June 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

More and more clips are emerging of Kendrick Lamar’s time in Compton to shoot the “Not Like Us” music video, and they’re making fans even more hyped up. He and his security detail arrived at Compton’s City Hall to film another part of the visual treatment, and it’s unclear whether or not the shoot will continue this weekend or if they already got everything. Either way, we can’t remember the last time there was this much hype around a music video, but we’re glad to see it. Probably should’ve dropped it earlier in the song’s hype cycle, but we’re not complaining about the tardiness.

Furthermore, this also lines up with Kendrick Lamar’s “The Pop Out,” the Juneteenth L.A. show that has some people feeling mind-blown and others acting underwhelmed. For one, DJ Akademiks recently shared his opinion that both Drake and J. Cole have put on better concerts and multi-artist events in their cities than K.Dot. Given how different each show’s lineup, context, and intent is, it’s not really a shocker to claim any of them as your favorite or as the most significant one. Still, it feels like most folks just can’t find a balance between praising this as one of the greatest recent hip-hop moments or as a complete embarrassment and failure; it’s not that deep.

In addition, Kendrick Lamar’s alleged entourage has also provided some interesting insights and occasional tea-spilling when it comes to some narratives around his moves. For example, an alleged close friend spoke out against The Game and his statement on why he didn’t attend “The Pop Out.” The friend suggested that the Los Angeles MC displayed some disrespect and “had to choose his words carefully.” It’s all a mystery and very vague, but it will fade in time.

Meanwhile, the increased security presence at this music video shoot also caused some backlash, for reasons unknown to anyone with common sense. Whether or not Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” music video is a hit or a dud, it will probably (and hopefully) mark the end of his battle with Drake. Maybe things flare up again with a second match in the future, or there’s more to tussle over. But it seems unlikely that the Toronto superstar will bother to concern himself with this, and we hope both opponents move on already.
