50 Cent Reveals Omari Hardwick’s “Power” Character Originally Had A Much Different Ending

50 Cent discussed his relationship with Power star Omari Hardwick and his controversial comments about working on the show during a recent interview with Gillie Da Kid. 50 began by explaining that Hardwick’s comments about feeling underpaid weren’t directed at him. He revealed that the actor hit him up in the DMs after the story broke, claiming that his quotes were misleading. He continued: “At the end of the day, Ghost was supposed to die when I died. I extended it… The problem with working with 50 Cent is, it’s 50 Cent’s show.”

When The Neighborhood Talk shared 50’s comments on Instagram, fans jumped in the comments section to share their opinions on the situation. “I hate how slow yall are. He not saying he didn’t wanna pay him clearly Starz didn’t & instead of killing him off when they initially wanted to, he extended until Season 5. Simple,” one user wrote. Another had a different take, writing: “But he was the FACEEEEEEEEEEEEEE of the show and network. That’s different than being some regular character. When you thought of the show you automatically pictured him!”

As for Hardwick’s criticism, he complained about the finale of Power while speaking at a panel during the TriBeca Film Festival. “I’m with y’all in this sense, I’m with you in the sense that the way the story was sold and told to me is not befitting of the way it ended, guys. So y’all have every right to be like, ‘It didn’t end right,’” he said. “And because we don’t honor our fans enough, and I know me, Matt, and Trey are different. We honor y’all, we honor our fans, man. We often forget that the fans are being sold and told a story that has a genesis, and that it has to end the way that it was sold.”

50 Cent Speaks On Omari Hardwick

50 previously addressed Hardwick’s complaints in a post on X (formerly Twitter). “This [ninja emoji] is a strange bird,” 50 said at the time. “The f*ck is he talking about? I never done nothing but look out for him. If he needed something I gave it to him. I understand now, that shit didn’t matter at all.” Check out his latest remarks below.

Akbar V Shares Alleged DMs With Lil Woody In Response To His “Dirty” Accusation

Akbar V has responded to Lil Woody’s comments about her during the ongoing YSL RICO trial by sharing a screenshot of alleged DMs between the two of them. When Young Thug’s attorney, Brian Steel, showed Woody a picture of Akbar while testifying, he described her as being “dirty as hell back in the day.” In the DMs, Woody admits that he was lying about her.

“Chile this y i want never argue with the internet cause if you know you know,” Akbar captioned the screenshot. In the messages, Woody seemingly wrote: “I love you ain’t mean no harm” and asked why she’s “feeding into” the false narrative.

As i recall when me and thug fell out u never was nowhere around me and the messed up part is you know this when i just heard the call so she said my name you didn’t tell her my name until she said it to you … you wanted to say anybody name…. why not the person who was beefing with thug …. you one sick individual ….”

Baby was arrested in Las Vegas on Monday for allegedly carrying a concealed weapon without a permit. Shortly afterward, his legal team released a statement explaining he does have a permit in Georgia and that they’d be looking into the matter. “Dominique Jones has a valid Georgia Carrying a Concealed Weapon (CCW) Permit,” Baby’s attorney, Drew Findling, told Billboard in a statement. “On his behalf we are actively investigating the facts and circumstances surrounding his arrest in Las Vegas.”

James Harden Speaks On Lil Baby

Baby has faced legal trouble in previous years as well. In 2014, he found himself behind bars after police arrested him for possession of marijuana with intent to sell. Speaking with Rolling Stone in 2017, he explained how he got into selling drugs. “Needed the money, more than anything,” he said at the time. “I knew all the drug dealers around my neighborhood. When I was like 10, 11, I was hanging out with a dude who was like 17. He was getting money to buy a car, having his own little spot. So he was a lot of my motivation, too.” Be on the lookout for further updates on James Harden and Lil Baby on HotNewHipHop.

Duke Dennis Responds To Drake Posting The “Worst Picture” Of Him

Duke Dennis labeled the photo Drake posted of him on Instagram as the “worst picture of all time” while discussing the post on social media. The Toronto rapper originally uploaded a photo of the AMP member with the caption: “I’m not aware of my picture or mirror face. It’s a curse from birth and I’m influenced by what I see.” At first, Dennis hopped into the comments section to have a back-and-forth with Drake.

“Fendi head wrap having someone else take the pic in the mirror is wild, you a wild boy Duke,” Drake wrote, to which Dennis replied” “You got a few pictures that give off the same vibe.” Drake then added: “I accept my contributions to the mirror face members… We are akin to one another.” Dennis also addressed the photo while livestreaming. He explained that his phone was blowing up afterward. “I hate that picture so much… I go look at it, he used the worst picture of all time,” he joked.

Elsewhere in his post, Drake shared a picture of Joe Budden that has also served as an inspiration. The post comes after the Toronto rapper recently made headlines on social media for teasing a “Game 2,” which fans interpreted as referring to his battle with Kendrick Lamar. Budden had reacted to that post during a recent episode of his podcast. “I don’t think this has sat well with him. I think he’s doing a decent job now in post-battle recovery,” he claimed. “If you’re going to do it, I don’t want to hear, ‘We’re going to win game two.’ I don’t want to hear you promote s**t to [DJ Akademiks]. I just want you [to go] in your cave with your team and do it.”

He eventually deleted the “Game 2” post. Check out Dennis and Drake’s interaction on Instagram below. Be on the lookout for further updates on Drake on HotNewHipHop.

Boosie Badazz Begs “Whoever Wins” For Presidential Pardon Amid Gun Case

Boosie Badazz is no stranger to legal trouble, but last month, the Louisiana-born rapper thought he’d finally seen the end of his longwinded battle over a federal gun charge. The case was dismissed, but just weeks later, he revealed that he had been indicted again. According to him, it was on the same charge, as well as a new one.

For obvious reasons, he wasn’t happy and proceeded to put federal prosecutor Michael Wheat on blast in a post on X. “WHY YOU DIDNT CHARGE ME WITH THAT THE FIRST TIME?” he wrote. “THIS MAN HAS A SERIOUS VENDETTA OF HATE AGAINST ME.” Now, he’s taken to X once again, this time to ask both Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump to help him out depending on who gets elected.

“MY CASE GOT DISMISSED FOR A RULING THAT WAS MADE N THE 9th CIRCUIT COURT,” he began. “2 WEEKS LATER THE RULING GETS VACATED. SMH SOON AS I CELEBRATE THE LAW IS VACATED GTFOH I GOT SOME POWERFUL PEOPLE WHO HATE ME WITH EVERY BONE N THEY BODY. I WAS SENT TO PRISON FOR 10 YEARS FOR 3rd MARIJUANA. FOR BEING A USER LOL NO REHAB ,NO PROBATION SENT STRAIGHT TO PRISON .AT THIS POINT I NEED A PARDEN FROM WHOEVER WINS,” he wrote, tagging both Vice President Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.

Clearly, Boosie is hopeful that one of them can help him amid his legal battle. It remains to be seen whether or not his wish will be granted. What do you think of Boosie Badazz asking whoever wins the presidential race for a pardon? Do you think he’ll get one or not? What about him getting indicted again on the same charge that had previously been dropped? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

ASAP Rocky’s “Tailor Swif” Had A Surprising Debut On The Global Spotify Chart

ASAP Rocky’s newest single, “Tailor Swif,” has landed at No. 105 on the Global Spotify Chart with 1.679 million streams. It marks Rocky’s 45th song to appear on the Global Chart since January 2017. Despite landing on the chart, fans on social media have been having mixed responses to the track.

When OurGenerationMusic shared the news of the single’s success on Instagram, one user wrote: “If you’re a real Rocky fan stop lying to yourself and attempting to say this is good. This and 4/5 of his last singles have been utterly dog sh*t.” Another with a top comment argued he just needs more output: “He has to release more of his sound immediately if he wants to stand a chance. Less visuals, more music.”

The release of “Tailor Swif” comes as Rocky continues to prepare for his highly-anticipated fourth studio album, Don’t Be Dumb. Speaking with Billboard for an interview earlier this month, he revealed that the effort will see him delving into deeper topics than his previous works. He noted that a song called, “Shroom Cloud,” tackles, “current affairs and world wars and, you know, the world dying and whatnot.” He added: “At times like this, only two types of people strive and survive. I’m not trying to sound like I’m glorifying wars, [but] I think artists and druggies, they make it through. I mean, what was the hippies doing? They was getting high at Woodstock and f–king and having a great time and having these hippie babies who subsequently had us.”

“Tailor Swif” is the sixth single Rocky has released ahead of Don’t Be Dumb. It’s preceded by “D.M.B.,” “Shittin’ Me,” “Same Problems?” “Riot (Rowdy Pipe’n),” and “Highjack.” Be on the lookout for further updates on ASAP Rocky on HotNewHipHop.

Nicki Minaj’s Husband Kenneth Petty Gets Dragged For Using Slur During Livestream

Nicki Minaj’s marriage to Kenneth Petty continues to be controversial for various reasons. Regardless, the “FTCU” rapper never hesitates to include him in her chats with the Barbz on TikTok live. Yesterday, for example, the pair appeared on the platform to give viewers some tips on dealing with critics.

“Don’t you let anybody or anything steal your motherf*ckin’ joy,” Nicki declared. While that’s solid advice, it’s Petty’s follow-up that has social media users upset. “That’s right, especially little f****** or f*** boys,” he said. Most viewers didn’t appreciate his use of the derogatory term and are slamming him for it. Many are also calling Nicki out for failing to correct him, particularly since she has a large LGBTQ+ fanbase.

Nicki Minaj & Kenneth Petty Receive Backlash For Offensive Livestream Remark

As a result, some are saying that Nicki doesn’t really care about her Barbz at all, though this is unconfirmed. It’s possible that she didn’t hear what he said, or simply didn’t want to draw more attention to the offensive comment. Either way, this isn’t the first time one of her interactions with fans has gone wrong. Earlier this month, a former Barb filed a lawsuit against Nicki, accusing her of slander. He alleges that she embarrassed him on Instagram Live, accused him of being a paid saboteur, called him a stalker, and more. Reportedly, he’s seeking a whopping $5 million in damages for reputational harm, emotional distress, and financial loss.

Her attorney Judd Burstein issued a statement about the lawsuit on Monday, accusing the former fan of “harassing Nicki on social media for years on end to no avail.” Burstein also alleged that he’s trying to “shake her down financially with manifestly false allegations and legally frivolous claims.” What do you think of Nicki Minaj’s husband Kenneth Petty using a gay slur on TikTok live? What about him getting dragged for it online? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Big Sean & Doechii Plant Their Flags On Our New “Fire Emoji” Playlist Update

August comes to a close, and we have a fresh set of the best of the best hip-hop to drop this week on our new Fire Emoji playlist update. Moreover, leading the way is the highly anticipated album from Big Sean, Better Me Than You. As far as highlights from it, we recommend the wavy “It Is What It Is” with Gunna and the Bryson Tiller and Kodak Black collab “This N That” for you to start with. Elsewhere, Doechii also made a big splash with her excellent new mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal, which contains standout cuts like the bouncy “SLIDE.”

Furthermore, another Fire Emoji standout this week is another long-awaited project: the latest from Destroy Lonely, LOVE LASTS FOREVER. On it, he’s able to show off his dynamic delivery on cuts like “CADILLAC” and develop his collaborative chemistry with artists like Lil Uzi Vert on the slow-burning “LOVE HURTS.” In addition, we also got a new single from A$AP Rocky leading up to his upcoming studio album return, Don’t Be Dumb. “Tailor Swif” is a pretty standard but effective display of new Rocky: minimal melodic elements, crispy and rattling percussion, and some catchy albeit simple flows.

HNHH Fire Emoji Playlist: Stream

Fire Emoji also showcases the new album from Strick, ALL TIME HIGH, and hopefully this sheds more light on this North Carolina artist’s versatility. On “CR@SH” with Travis Scott for example, they complement each other’s styles effortlessly while coming through with earworm vocal riffs and some atmospheric production. On a similarly drenched-out and woozy tip, we have the new single from BNYX and Yeat (plus Superheaven), “GO AGAIN.” They work as well together as they ever have, and some flanged electric guitar riffs add a lot of character and melancholy to this otherwise tough-as-nails and drowsy banger.

We’d be remiss not to mention Chance The Rapper’s latest killer single “3333” and its combination of pianos, trumpets, and subtle drums. Finally, Cordae and Anderson .Paak added to their collection of amazing J. Cole-produced collabs with “Summer Drop.” Let us know what your favorite Fire Emoji release was this week, as well as what else we missed, down in the comments section below. Check the playlist out above and, as always, come back to HNHH for more killer rap drops around the clock.

Cardi B Flaunts Baby Bump In The Studio While Perfecting New Album

It’s been a pretty hectic few weeks for Cardi B. Earlier this month, it was revealed that she filed for divorce from her longtime partner Offset after roughly seven years together. While this was already explosive news, the NYC rapper also announced that she’s pregnant with their third child together.

Of course, the circumstances would be stressful for anyone, and her celebrity status only adds more pressure to the situation. Luckily, Cardi appears to be taking it all in stride, and providing fans with fun updates along the way. On top of all these major developments in her personal life, the hitmaker also has her eagerly anticipated sophomore album in the works, and fans have been begging for it for years.

Cardi B’s New Album Is On The Way

Fortunately, Cardi B was recently spotted in the studio, presumably working on it. Evan LaRay shared a clip of the “Bongos” performer looking exhausted but in good spirits. Hopefully, this means that listeners will get to hear the project this year as previously promised, though the release window remains unclear for now. Back in May, Cardi announced that the album would no longer arrive in 2024, but was later corrected by her own record label. “Cardi B’s upcoming album is one of the most anticipated this year. We can’t wait put it out, even if we have to sneak into her studio and take it!” Atlantic Records’ official X account posted.

While the post seemed playful, Cardi did recently compare the studio to a “correctional facility,” which she received ample backlash for. She later addressed it, claiming that it was just an innocent joke. What do you think of Cardi B working on her upcoming album? Are you looking forward to hearing it?

Tokyo Toni Roasts Celina Powell To Her Face On “Aunt-Tea” Podcast

The latest episode of the Aunt-Tea Podcast with Tokyo Toni, Tia Kemp, and Karlissa Saffold kept the antics up as fans expected. Moreover, their latest guest was Celina Powell, and at one point during their conversation, she spoke about deleting OnlyFans when she gets pregnant. “You’re not going to get pregnant,” Toni roasted her with. “No. Don’t bring no baby to this world, f***ed up like you are. Get some help! You’re f***ed up. I think you’re trashy, filthy, nasty, and dirty.” However, all the ladies had a good laugh over it, so maybe this didn’t come off to them as combative as it might to some social media users.

However, the reason why Tokyo Toni made these comments about Celina Powell is because of her controversial dating history. The most recent example of this concerns Powell’s alleged current boyfriend Clay Gravesande of Love Is Blind, who claimed that they’re not dating and that she “used” him. “Celina actually is a cool a** person,” he told Rory and Mal. “I went to Belize with another female actually, and then I came back and I was going to actually shoot some content with Celina. It was really kind of innocent, bro. I was being used. She got me, she won.”

Tokyo Toni Thinks Celina Powell Is “Trashy”

“I didn’t know who CP was until everyone started sending me her youtube information [throwing up emoji],” Clay Gravesande’s mother said of Celina Powell. “It’s very interesting that some men will lose everything thinking that the apple is good but its a forbidden choice (do better). The deceiver uses old tricks to attack and destroy. Clayton Alexander, you know that Jesus will allow things to occur. He’s still trying to get your attention…. Please surrender to him.”

Meanwhile, this is far from the only moment that Tokyo Toni had smoke (light or otherwise) for a guest… Or even for her co-host. Regardless, in the former’s case, she left Antonio Brown speechless with a rant on how being bad at dancing suggests that someone is bad at intercourse. As such, we can only wonder what antics and wild statements will emerge on the next Aunt-Tea Podcast episode. If you want to see this one with Celina Powell, it launches on the Zeus Network at 8PM EST this Sunday (September 1).
