Megan Thee Stallion’s Pink Tour Look Leaves Nicki Minaj Fans Suspicious

May 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last week, Megan Thee Stallion finally embarked on her eagerly anticipated “Hot Girl Summer” tour alongside GloRilla. The Houston-born hottie kicked things off with an explosive performance in Minneapolis before moving on to stops in Chicago and Detroit. So far, fans have been impressed, though one rival fanbase has been especially critical of Meg since the tour began.

Of course, this fanbase is Nicki Minaj’s Barbz, who have had a serious bone to pick with the “Hiss” performer ever since their heated feud earlier this year. Things got pretty ugly, to say the least, and fans will now take any opportunity there is to trash their fave’s respective foe. Today was no exception, as Meg took to Instagram to show off one of her latest tour looks, and the Barbz pounced.

In her latest Instagram post, Meg stuns in a hot pink two-piece complete with a pair of fuzzy thigh-high boots. Hollywood Unlocked also shared a clip of the femcee’s fit. Amid the flood of compliments in their comments section are plenty of Barbz, accusing Meg of biting Nicki’s style by wearing her signature color. “Why does she have on pink?” one wonders, while another claims “This is getting scary!!!”

It’s unclear whether or not Meg intentionally rocked pink to shade Nicki, or if it was nothing but a simple coincidence. Either way, the Barbz are convinced that this was an attempt to get the “Barbie Dangerous” performer riled up. What do you think of Megan Thee Stallion’s hot pink “Hot Girl Summer” tour fit? What about Nicki Minaj fans suspecting that it was a jab? Do you think they’re on to something, or is it a reach?

Saweetie Tears Up Recalling Her Come-Up Before Making It In Hip-Hop: Watch

May 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Almost every person on the planet knows that making it in the music industry is slim to none. However, if you look a certain way, some people are automatically going to assume that were set up for success. It seems that stigma gets placed on women especially from trolls and haters online. Unfortunately, the saying “sex sells” is quite accurate, at least in the United States. It is probably safe to assume that Saweetie puts up with people coming after her throughout her now established career.

But those rumors should be shut down now, especially after Saweetie got real about her come-up. The hitmaker joined the Brown Bag Mornings show on Power 106 to discuss her rough situation. In the first clip below (second slide), Host Letty Peniche gave credence to Saweetie’s struggles, mentioning how she was living out of her car. The callback to those times got Saweetie pretty emotional.

Saweetie Has Certainly Come A Long Way

The “NANi” creator admitted that she was too prideful to tell her loved ones her couch-to-couch living scenario. Her friends were more than accommodating, offering her to live with them. However, she did not want to be a burden. Saweetie was able to make light during the interview saying that when it was time to party with them, she did not have to go home. Eventually, she built up enough money to rent a room and that is roughly the time she began to write “ICY GIRL.” On it she raps, “Looking in the mirror, I thank God for what I’m ’bout to be.” Saweetie told the interviewers that lyric made it in the song because she was uncomfortable lying about where she was in life. “I can’t even pop s***,” she said. Now, she can and we are so proud of her for coming so far!

What are your thoughts on Saweetie getting emotional about her come-up in the music industry? Is she one of the best female MC’s we have right now, why or why not? What songs are your favorites from her and why? Do you think we will get her big project sometime this summer? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Saweetie.

Kendrick Lamar’s Drake Diss Is Man’s Hilarious Response To Getting Ghosted

May 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It goes without saying that Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s lyrical feud left the hip-hop community in shambles, and has since produced countless hilarious memes. Of course, one of the most memorable moments of the entire battle was when Drake dropped “Family Matters,” and within the hour, Kendrick fired back with “Meet The Grahams.” Their beef appears to have mostly fizzled out for the time being, though social media users continue to debate about it online.

Now, a new post is going viral on Twitter/X, in which a man uses Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss track as a means to respond to a date gone ghost. The original poster, @jcruraps on TikTok, got creative with his own scathing bars. The lady on the receiving end of the diss, Sarah, simply replied “WTF????” at first, though she upped the ante when fans demanded a formal response.

Kendrick Lamar Vs. Drake Becomes “Cinema” In Viral TikTok

She ghosted him, so he sent her his “Meet The Grahams” diss, she then responds with her version of “Push Ups”.

This is cinema. pic.twitter.com/fIIyRG8wVc

— Wole (@Kingwole) May 17, 2024

Fittingly, she decided to use Drake’s “Push Ups” beat to fire back, delivering a few of her own witty jabs and insisting that he was actually the one in the wrong. Listeners are now weighing in on the fierce battle in the comments section, and the consensus is that Sarah cooked. “They are meant for each other,” one X user jokes. “LOL dude just realized he dissed his soul mate,” another writes.

It’s unclear whether or not they ever went on another date, though fans think they know how it’d play out if things went south again. What do you think of a man using Kendrick Lamar’s “Meet The Grahams” to respond to a date who ghosted him? What about her firing back with a diss of her own? Do you think they were meant to be together? Is this how people should respond to dating drama moving forward?

Drake KO’D By Kendrick & Now Oleksandr Usyk After Losing $500,000 Bet On Tyson Fury

May 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It is safe to say that Drake may want to put the month of May behind him and in a hurry. Of course, the main reason is because of his highly publicized beef with Kendrick Lamar. A lot of witnesses to one of the biggest feuds in hip-hop history feel that Drizzy caught the L right on the dome. But now, the losses are snowballing, as Drake is down $565,000 dollars after Tyson Fury lost his big-time boxing match with Oleksandr Usyk last night. It was reported yesterday that The Boy was putting his money where his mouth was via the betting giant Stake.

For those who do not follow the sport, the fight between these two decorated athletes was a big deal. According to Sports Illustrated, Usyk became boxing’s first undisputed heavyweight champion since Lennox Lewis did it in 2000. The Ukranian, who weighed in at 223 pounds, was 21-0 (14 KO) coming into the hyped-up slug fest. On the other side, Fury clocked in decisively heavier at 262 while also being undefeated at 34-1-0 (24 KO).

Drake Throws Up Another L With Tyson Fury Bet

According to Uproxx, Fury appeared to be in the lead in the early going. However, the things took a quick turn for the favorite in round nine. Most likely the deciding factor in the split decision victory for Usyk, he whaled on him with a mean and clean left hook. He still remains perfect all while taking the bragging rights and glory of claiming the WBC, WBO, WBA, IBF, and IBO titles. While it is a major L for Fury, we can only imagine how Drake is doing after dropping to 0-2 in May.

What are your thoughts on Drake losing his Tyson Fury bet? Was the latter’s fight with Oleksandr Usyk one of the better bouts in recent memory, why or why not? Is Drake at one of his lowest points of his career right now? If you bet on this fight, who do you put money on and how much? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Drake and boxing. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the worlds of music and sports.

Diddy Issues Formal Apology For Alleged Cassie Assault As Footage Goes Viral: Watch

May 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

On Friday, CNN exclusively obtained some graphic footage of Diddy and his ex-girlfriend Cassie at a hotel in 2016. In the disturbing footage, the Bad Boy Records founder appears to chase the singer through a hallway, pulling her to the ground and kicking her before attempting to drag her back to his room. The footage has since gone viral, with countless social media users and peers expressing outrage over the alleged assault.

Now, Diddy has issued a formal response on Instagram. In a clip, he apologizes for his actions, claiming to have since gotten professional help. “It’s so difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, but sometimes you got to do that,” he begins. “I was f*cked up — I hit rock bottom — but I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I was disgusted then when I did it. I’m disgusted now. I went and I sought out professional help, I got into going to therapy, going to rehab. I had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I’m so sorry. But I’m committed to be a better man each and every day. I’m not asking for forgiveness. I’m truly sorry.”

Cassie has yet to respond directly to the now-viral footage, though her lawyer Douglas H. Wigdor released a statement the day it was released. “The gut-wrenching video has only further confirmed the disturbing and predatory behavior of Mr. Combs,” he said via email. “Words cannot express the courage and fortitude that Ms. Ventura has shown in coming forward to bring this to light.”

50 Cent Thinks Diddy’s Alleged Secret Tapes Have Scared His Peers Into Silence

May 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

On Friday, CNN exclusively obtained some disturbing 2016 footage of Diddy allegedly assaulting his ex-girlfriend Cassie at a hotel. The footage appears to corroborate some of the accusations the singer made against Diddy in her 2023 lawsuit, which was settled almost immediately after she filed. Since it came out, the footage has been making its rounds online, with countless social media users and peers weighing in.

One of Diddy’s most vocal critics, 50 Cent, was quick to react. Shortly after the video was released, he took to Instagram, mocking the Bad Boy Records founder for maintaining his innocence amid the various lawsuits waged against him in recent months. While it may seem as though Diddy’s situation couldn’t get any worse right now, he was hit with even more allegations yesterday. Male producer Prince accuses the mogul of trying to “blackball” him from the industry because he refused his sexual advances. Of course, 50 Cent had a few things to say about that too.

In response to Prince’s upsetting allegations, 50 Cent shared them on Instagram. He also provided followers with a theory as to why more of Diddy’s celebrity peers aren’t speaking up. According to him, it may be because they’re just as guilty. “I don’t know, this is so bad ,” he wrote. “A lot of people aren’t saying anything because they are in them tapes.”

For those who don’t recall, Diddy was speculated to have had various tapes confiscated from his mansions when Homeland Security raided them in March. In his lawsuit, Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones alleged that they feature “other celebrities, music label executives, politicians and athletes.” What do you think of 50 Cent’s reaction to Prince’s new allegations against Diddy? Do you agree with him or not? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

JT Opts For All-Natural Look & Serves Major Body In Stunning Blue Bikini Pics

May 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

JT is having her moment in 2024. Actually, let’s correct that. She is having multiple moments this year. The City Girls MC took the criticism on the chin after her and Yung Miami dropped their album RAW. Sales were extremely low (just 10,000 first week), and it seemed apparent that what made the duo popular was running its course. However, JT has totally flipped that script and is coming through with arguably her best material to date. Sure, the familiar vibes are there, but mic presence and production are up across the board. Her feature game has also been on point, landing on Doechii’s house-inspired banger “Alter Ego.”

It is safe to say that she has given herself a lot of confidence. Her most single “OKAY” and its extended version saw her send a plentiful quantity of subliminal shots at her contemporaries such as Sukihana. With this blazing start, she is now poised to drop her debut project quite soon. JT announced that City Cinderella is on the way, all while flaunting her bodacious curves in some sultry neon bikini pics.

Speaking of the latter, JT felt that one swimsuit photoshoot was not enough. So, with her enjoying her time in Nassau, Bahamas, why not treat her fans to more stunning shots? Well, she did just that, rocking a skimpy, bright blue bikini while posing with no makeup at the gorgeous beaches. “Pretty privilege ! <3 ;)” she captioned the post. Fans and fellow artists were drooling in the comments section, as to be expected. Kali Uchis took notice of the all-natural look, “no makeup suits u sooo well !!!” Stunna Girl also commented twice, “Poster Girl I love you sisss ” Kehlani also hyped up JT, “giiiRLLLLUHHHH JESUS CHRIST.”

What are your thoughts on JT going for the natural look in her mini bikini photoshoot in the Bahamas? Is she breaking out in 2024? Or is she still not there just yet and if so, why? What has been your favorite release and feature from her so far this year? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Jake Gyllenhaal And The ‘SNL’ Cast Said Goodbye To Season 49 In Pure ’90s R&B Fashion

May 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

49 is big number. Tonight (May 18), Saturday Night Live closed out its 49th season with a bang. Though finishing 49 seasons is a huge milestone, tonight’s host Jake Gyllenhaal was seemingly hoping to be in the running to host the premiere of season 50, which will take place later this year.

But of course, Gyllenhaal was determined to make this finale special. Near the end of his opening monologue, Gyllenhaal broke out into song — a special rework of Boyz II Men‘s ’90s classic, “End Of The Road.”

During his cover, Gyllenhaal surprised the audience with his pipes, delivering strong vocals as he hilariously jokes that Pedro Pascal and Ryan Gosling were asked to host this episode before him (even though they have both previously hosted this past season).

While Gyllenhaal was captivating the audience with his singing, a few of the cast members elevated the performance.

Punkie Johnson, Ego Nwodim, Kenan Thompson, and Devon Walker joined in, giving the song additional harmonies, taking it to the next level.

Although a hosting slot for the season 50 premiere of SNL is highly coveted, the quality of this opening monologue is going to be hard to match.

You can watch Gyllenhaal’s full opening monologue above.

Kodak Black’s Attorney Labels Diddy’s Alleged Assault Video A “Leak,” Theorizes More Trouble Coming His Way

May 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kodak Black’s lawyer, Bradford Cohen, weighed in on the legal implications of the new video of Diddy allegedly assaulting Cassie at a hotel in Los Angeles from 2016. He theorized that CNN, which published the footage, didn’t “obtain” it and instead it was leaked. In turn, Cohen thinks there’s bigger legal trouble headed the Bad Boy mogul’s way.

“Anyone who thinks CNN ‘obtained’ the video is a sucker,” Cohen wrote on Instagram. “This was a leak, and to me, it telegraphs the fact he’s about to be charged in a bigger case. This way, if Cassie is the star witness, they can rely on the fact she was essentially under his control. By the way, that is why this case should have been settled way before the lawsuit was filed.” In a comment on the post, he added: “One other observation is there is a reason he hasn’t left the country or flew anywhere the past month. My belief is they would arrest in a criminal complaint if he flew anywhere.”

Cohen isn’t the only one with theories as to the reasoning behind the release of the video. 50 Cent made a similar remark while sharing the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office’s statement on the video on Instagram. The department revealed that, due to the statute of limitations on assault, Diddy won’t be facing any charges regarding the incident.

50 Cent Theorizes Why Diddy’s Alleged Assault Footage Was Published

May 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent shared a theory regarding the timing of CNN putting out the viral video of Diddy appearing to assault Cassie on Friday. The clip, which stems from 2016, shows the Bad Boy mogul seemingly grabbing his then-parter from behind, throwing her to the ground, and kicking her. Shortly after CNN published the video, the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office put out a statement explaining that the statute of limitations on assault has passed and in turn, Diddy won’t be facing any charges.

50 shared the statement on Instagram, on Saturday, adding in the caption: “This is why they put that tape out, they know they can’t charge him with what we saw, but they know we can’t unsee what we saw.”

As for the D.A.’s statement, the office admits that the video is both “disturbing” and “difficult to watch,” but that they can’t do anything. It adds: “If the conduct depicted occurred in 2016, unfortunately we would be unable to charge as the conduct would have occurred beyond the timeline where a crime of assault can be prosecuted. As of today, law enforcement has not presented a case related to the attack depicted in the video against Mr. Combs, but we encourage anyone who has been a victim or witness to a crime to report it to law enforcement or reach out to our office for support from our Bureau of Victims Services.”
