Bad Bunny Brings Out Arcangel During Surprise Concert

December 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Bad Bunny is no stranger to giving back and he often translates his success into charity for his native Puerto Rico. The musical mega-star held his Bonita Tradicion event for the 4th time earlier this week through his foundation Good Bunny. For the event, he gave out presents to Puerto Rican children and even hosted a meet and greet with some of them afterward. But on top of the presents he already handed out, he had yet another surprise gift for fans in attendance.

Bad Bunny took the opportunity to play a surprise performance for the crowd. He even had frequent collaborator Arcangel in attendance to perform alongside him. During the show, he stopped to say a few words about the strength of his community. “There are few who believe in neighborhood people, in village people. But great people have come out of the neighborhood where I come from… The government and the people don’t believe in places like these,” the singer said according to a translation on Twitter. Check out the video of his speech to the crowd below.

Bad Bunny Plays Surprise Puerto Rico Show

Earlier this month, Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner officially broke up. The two began dating earlier this year and popped up at places like a Drake concert in LA. In an interview earlier this year Bunny lambasted fans who felt entitled to know all the details of his life and the pair’s relationship. After breakup rumors swirled for weeks it was officially confirmed that the relationship was over.

Earlier this year, Bad Bunny released his new album nadie sabe lo que va a pasar manana. The massive 80-minute undertaking spawned numerous hits. The biggest of the bunch has been MONACO which both fans and fellow celebrities seem to have fallen in love with. Key Glock and Iggy Azealea are just two of the many rappers and celebrities who have given their co-sign to the song since it dropped in October. What do you think of Bad Bunny putting on a surprise concert during his holiday giveaway event? Let us know in the comment section below.

Travis Kelce “Hickey” Leads To Swiftie Debate

December 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Travis Kelce appeared to sport a mark on his neck during the Chiefs’ December 17 game against the Patriots that some fans claim to be a hickey. The strange mark, which was gone by the time the Chiefs faced Las Vegas on Christmas Day, was spotted earlier this week by fans combing through images of the game. However, it is unconfirmed to be a hickey and could have been a wide range of other things instead. Still, for Trayvis fans, it was a cause to rejoice. It served as proof that Kelce’s relationship with Taylor Swift is still going strong.

Meanwhile, Scott and Andrea Swift, Swift’s parents, were spotted mingling with Ed Kelce, Kelce’s dad, at the Chiefs’ game against Las Vegas over Christmas. The meeting was captured by a Chiefs fan who had their camera turned towards the Kelce family box at Arrowhead Stadium. However, Kelce’s mother Donna was not present as she was in Philadelphia to watch Jason Kelce. It is believed that the Swift and Kelce families originally met when the Chiefs and Eagles played against one another earlier in the season. A big sticking point at the time was that Swift’s father is reportedly a massive Eagles fan. “What are we doing, Scott? You’re gonna let this man’s devilish good looks and relationship with your daughter sway you from a lifetime of fandom, Scott? Ridiculous,” Jason teased on New Heights at the time.

Travis Kelce Speaks On Chiefs’ Offensive Woes

However, Kelce was in a sour mood during the latest episode of New Heights. “It’s not just one guy – it’s not just me playing like dog sh-t. It’s not just us not being able to get the run game going. And it’snot just us not being on the same page, passing-wise. Everybody’s in this f-cking thing together. Everybody at some point isn’t being accountable. Every single play is somebody not doing their job, and it’s me … it’s everybody on the team. And whether that’s prep, whether that’s having the confidence and understanding of what the defense is in their coverages, their gaps in the run game, how we’re picking up blitzes, how we’re running routes versus certain coverages. All the above. Everybody’s just got to f-cking do their job,” Kelce ranted on the podcast.

The Chiefs have now lost three of their last four and four of their last six games. Mahomes was sacked four times on Christmas Day while throwing for just 246 yards. Meanwhile, the ground game failed to generate less than 100 yards of total offense. This included a stretch late in the second quarter when the Raiders scored two defensive touchdowns in the space of seven seconds. The Chiefs close out the season against the Bengals and Chargers.

G. Dep Granted Clemency After 13 Years for Cold Case Killing

December 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Rapper G. Dep has been granted clemency by New York Governor Kathy Hochul after serving 13 years of a 15-year-to-life sentence for a cold case killing that occurred in 1993.

In 2010, Coleman walked into a police precinct and confessed to shooting John Henkel during a robbery in East Harlem, seeking to clear his conscience. With his sentence commuted, he will now be eligible to seek parole earlier than his original 2025 date. This story delves into the details of Coleman’s case and the impact of his confession.

G. Dep Original Admission

G. Dep’s admission of the nearly two-decade-old murder shocked both the music industry and the public. As a teenager at the time of the crime, Coleman’s confession opened up a long-dormant case and shed light on the consequences of his actions. Despite his confession, the “Child Of The Ghetto” faced a challenging legal battle and ended up serving 13 years before being granted clemency.

During his time in prison, Dep made efforts to turn his life around. He earned an associate’s degree and actively participated in violence prevention and sobriety counseling programs. These efforts demonstrate his commitment to self-improvement and rehabilitation during his incarceration.

As a former artist signed to Bad Boy Records, G. Dep had a notable impact on the music industry. His hits, such as “Special Delivery” and “Let’s Get It,” gained popularity in the early 2000s and helped shape the sound of hip-hop during that era. Additionally, Coleman played a role in popularizing the Harlem shake dance, showcasing his influence beyond the music itself.

G-Dep Temporarily Released From Prison Amid 15 Years To Life Sentence

According to a previous report, G. Dep was temporarily released from prison to attend his father’s funeral. This temporary release provided a brief taste of freedom for the rapper, who had been serving his sentence for 15 years to life.

Dr. Umar Accuses Cassie And Christian Keyes Of “Financial Exploitation”

December 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Last month, Cassie filed a lawsuit against Diddy, accusing the Bad Boy Records founder of rape, physical and emotional abuse, and more. The two of them settled shortly after she filed, but her allegations were followed by several more. Diddy has since been hit with four additional lawsuits from women accusing him of similar misconduct.

Amid the countless damning headlines surrounding Cassie’s account of her relationship with Diddy, she’s been met with a great deal of criticism. Various social media users and peers have accused the songstress of going after Diddy purely for financial gain. Most recently, Dr. Umar shared his thoughts about the situation on The Joe Budden Podcast, claiming that her timing seems suspicious. “To come back after you done already moved on to another family and say ‘you did all these things to me,’ it looks like financial exploitation,” he explained.

He went on to state that he suspects something similar could be going on with Christian Keyes. Earlier this month, Keyes came forward to share his story of being sexually harassed by a “powerful” man in Hollywood. He’s yet to disclose the alleged perpetrator’s name. He also shared plans to hand over evidence he has to authorities sometime in the future. Dr. Umar shared that in his opinion, the story isn’t adding up.

“It looks like you’re picking up where Cassie left off,” he said of Keyes. “And he did admit that Cassie gave him the courage to come forward and speak.” He went on, arguing that while the fear of retribution could influence women’s decisions to come forward, he thinks the same wouldn’t apply to men. According to him, “power dynamics” don’t come into play as much with men as they do with women. “No grown a** man is letting a grown a** man put his fingers in his a** for years,” he also added.

Blueface Takes Shots At His Mother Karlissa On Twitter

December 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Blueface is one to always say whatever he wants. That seems to apply extra to his social media pages where he constantly engaged in beef with numerous other celebs at any point in time. Earlier today, he shared a controversial tweet that once again found him in headlines and hot water. “All black women would choose to be single moms on government assistance over any man that’s been scientifically proven before Blueface don’t blame me,” Blue’s newest tweet reads.

But surprisingly, a fan felt confident enough to come into his comment section and take shots at Blue’s own mother. “Klarissa included since you wanna go there,” their response tweet read. Instead of defending his mother like you might expect Blue to do, he agrees with the fan’s take. “Karlissa ESPECIALLY,” he replied. Blue and Karlissa have a complicated relationship in the public eye as they’ve often commented on each other’s drama. Even as they’re both almost always engaged in beef with other people, there’s some underlying tension that has them bringing each other up at random moments. Check out the tweets that could start their newest drama below.

Blueface Disses His Mom Karlissa

Recently, most of Blueface’s drama has come from Jaidyn Alexis’ new house. Allegedly despite the fact that Blue and Jaidyn broke up, he still bought her a new house that they’ve been spending quite a bit of time in recently. The drama came when Chrisean Rock commented on the situation and instilled some doubt into things.

Chrisean claimed that the house wasn’t actually bought, but was being rented. She doubled down saying that it wasn’t even Blueface who was paying for it. But since she made that comment the evidence has started to swing in Blue’s favor as he’s been at the house a lot. He spent Christmas there where he live-tweeted getting stuck in the house’s elevator with his son. What do you think of Blueface taking shots at his mother on Twitter after sharing a controversial take? Let us know in the comment section below.

Aaron Gordon Out Indefinitely After Christmas Day Dog Attack

December 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

There is “no timetable” for Aaron Gordon to return to the Nuggets after he was attacked by a dog on Christmas Day. Per Shams Charania, Gordon suffered “serious dog bites to his face and shooting right hand on Monday — requiring 21 stitches”. Later, the team said that Gordon was “in good condition and will remain away from the team while he recovers”. Gordon is averaging 13.6 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 3.4 assists a game this season. He is in his fourth year with the team.

The Nuggets, with Gordon a key player, have started their title defense well and sit at 22-10 on the season. This includes a currently active five-game winning streak. However, they only hold the second seed in the West due to the white-hot Timberwolves. Minnesota holds a 22-7 record. Nikola Jokic has been the powerhouse of the Nuggets this season. The two-time MVP is averaging a double-double with 26.4 points and 12.3 rebounds. Furthermore, Jokic is also averaging 9.2 assists a game, nearly putting him on a triple-double.

Ja Morant Faces Criticism For Gun Celebration

Aaron Gordon suffered serious dog bites to his face and shooting right hand on Monday — requiring 21 stitches, sources say. It will take some time to heal, with no timetable yet. https://t.co/blxcSB01PM

Without Gordon, the Nuggets will be short-handed as they host the Grizzlies, who are yet to lose since Ja Morant’s return to the team. However, Morant has found himself in a new controversy this week. After dropping a dunk, Morant appeared to fire off two imaginary guns before running back down the court. Of course, this caused a lot of outrage given that Morant is just four games into a season cut short by a gun-related suspension. However, the Grizzlies appeared to be a fan of the move, sharing the clip to the team’s official X account.

The win over the Pelicans marked the Grizzlies’ fourth consecutive win, meaning the team is 4-0 since Morant returned to the team. Morant had a game-high 31 points along with 7 assists. However, Morant was also tied for a game-high 6 turnovers with the Pelicans’ Zion Williamson. Denver won a close game against a Morant-less Memphis in their second game of the season.

Summer Walker Is Cooking Up Some Vocals For Possible Remix Of SZA And Ty Dolla $ign’s “Hit Different”

December 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

There is no doubt that Summer Walker, SZA, and Ty Dolla $ign possess some of the best talent within the R&B lane. All three have some top-tier projects and hits under their respective belts. Unfortunately, not all three of them have worked on a song together. In fact, Ty and Summer appear on zero tracks as well. However, that could change in a matter of days, hopefully.

Back in 2020, SZA and Ty came through with their smash single “Hit Different.” It was a fairly unexpected release and it dropped around the time SZA was having issues with TDE. Both brought some great harmony and the beat by The Neptunes was equally fantastic. Now, it seems that Summer Walker could be throwing her talents into the ring soon.

Summer’s Vocals Always Hit

A post shared by the Jasmine BRAND (@thejasminebrand)

The Jasmine Brand reposted a video from Summer Walker on their Instagram page of her laying down some vocals. If you listen you can hear her singing “different” behind the familiar production. There is no word if the Georgia singer is going to be on a remix of the single, or if she will release a Summer Walker version with just her on it. Nonetheless, it sounds heavenly as always, as this could be another hit for the beginning of 2024.

What are your initial thoughts on Summer Walker sharing a video of her teasing a new version of SZA and Ty Dolla $ign’s “Hit Different?” Do you think this could be a better song than the original? Based on the snippet, should Summer release this soon? Out of all three singers, who has the best voice and why? Is “Hit Different” still in your rotation? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below.

Earlier this year, Offset released his first new album in 5 years, Set It Off. The song spawned a couple of hits like “WORTH IT” with Don Toliver. The biggest hit from the album was “SAY MY GRACE” which featured Travis Scott himself. The song netted some pretty impressive first week sales pushing more than 70k units which was good enough to net it a top 5 debut.

But the far bigger story following Offset in recent weeks has been his relationship with Cardi B. After fans notices that the two had unfollowed each other on Instagram, rumors began to swirl. They were crystalized when Cardi B went on Instagram live and described herself as “single.” The pair haven’t been spotted together since and the future of their relationship is very much still up in the air.

Jonathan Owens Trolled By Simone Biles Fans

December 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Fans of Simone Biles have continued to go after her husband, Jonathan Owens, following his controversial comments about their marriage last week. When Owens made a Christmas Day post on Instagram, the comments were flooded by his wife’s fans simply calling him “Mr. Biles”. Other comments on the post referred to Owens as “some guy” while some hoped that Biles had a pre-nup due to her success.

The backlash towards Owens stems from comments he made while appearing on The Pivot last week. Owens claimed he didn’t know who Biles was when they first met and that he believes that “men are always the catch in a relationship”. When the couple met on a dating app in March 2020, Owens was a practice squad player for the Texans who had never played an NFL game. Meanwhile, Biles was a five-time Olympic medalist.

Additionally, Biles was later seen posting a message of support to her husband in the comments. It appears that the Olympian was unfazed by what her husband had said about the early days of their relationship.

Owens is a safety for the Green Bay Packers in the NFL. After playing at Division II Missouri Western, he went undrafted in 2018. However, he would not play his first game until 2021, after spending time on the practice squad in Arizona and Houston. However, 2022 was his breakout year. Appearing in every game, he recorded 127 tackles, 84 of them solo tackles. He left the Texans ahead of the 2023 season, signing with the Packers instead. At the time of writing, he has 74 total tackles on the season. the Packers are 7-8 and are hoping to make a late-season push to make the playoffs.
