August 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Steve Harvey has finally fired back at Katt Williams for the bombshell criticism he leveled at him during an appearance on Club Shay-Shay with Shannon Sharpe, earlier this year. He addressed his fellow comedian while speaking at Invest Fest in Atlanta, over the weekend. In doing so, he offered to turn their rivalry physical.

“You’ll never have a hater that’s doing better than you. Always know that,” Harvey remarked to Stephen A Smith while discussing Williams. He then joked about his fighting skills before adding: “I’d knock your short ass out.” When The Neighborhood Talk posted the clip on Instagram, fans mainly took Williams’ side in the comments section.

“He definitely feels a way. The cursing and name calling shows it. Kat never called that man out his name but he did speak truth. Truth always gets a certain type of reaction, and this is one of them,” one user wrote. Another added: “Steve you are not winning this one man… The people love Katt and Katt did not tell a lie…”

As for Williams’ fiery criticism, he accused Harvey of stealing his jokes from other comedians. “The same Steve that went to go watch Mark Curry do his whole sitcom and then stole everything Mark Curry had,” Williams said. “Now Steve got a sitcom where he the principal, and he wear a suit. And then he gets this high-top fade, making all Black men think he got the best lineup in the business. And it’s a man unit. Then you ask him, ‘Why you not a movie star?’ ‘I didn’t want to be a movie star.’ This the same negro that hated on Bernie [Mac] with this same thing. You couldn’t be a movie star. There are 30,000 new scripts in Hollywood every year. Not one of them asked for a country bumpkin Black dude that can’t talk good…and look like Mr. Potato Head. There ain’t none. You have to have range.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Steve Harvey and Katt Williams on HotNewHipHop.

Akbar V Offers To Defend Nicki Minaj In Court Amid Former Barbz’s Slander Lawsuit

August 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Akbar V is one of Nicki Minaj’s strongest defenders, and she wants to make this clear in a court of law. Moreover, she recently tweeted some interesting claims concerning the Trinidadian MC’s $5 million lawsuit from a former super fan who accused her of slander and mistreatment. Apparently, Nicki has a countersuit ready to go, but that doesn’t mean that Akbar can’t contribute to her defense… Well, in the online space, at least. Moreover, she claimed to have evidence that paints this former Barb as a manipulator and as the person who instigated a lot of this complicated relationship, so we’ll see what comes of that.

“I will be going to court and telling the judge how he did this mess and how he act like he was Nicki team,” Akbar V said in defense of Nicki Minaj. “So @NICKIMINAJ give me the court date he text me several of times also i have the messages and calls. This is the same guy sent all these text messages to me then got on @ArmonWiggins space and act as if i was dogging Nicki out. Boy u are sick and had everyone thinking i was going against Nicki trying to sabotage my career and my loyalty Armon dropped u off his spaces cause of your lies.”

Elsewhere, another way in which Akbar V defended Nicki Minaj was after Latto did not call her the GOAT femcee, instead picking Lil Kim. “Lil Kim was the Goat …” Akbar’s message began. “her and foxy both had they run and did a lot for us female rappers so did eve, missy elliot , etc but what about when there was a stand still and no label wanted to sign female rappers ?

“Who came and open the door and had the longest run in history Nicki Minaj …” Akbar V posited, suggesting that the GOAT conversation is an ever-evolving one. “so let’s not say Kim is the Goat of all time because no dck grabbing it’s @NICKIMINAJ …..give that damn girl her flowers when it’s due yall don’t got to fk with each other but keep it a stack.”

Ice Cube’s Son Is Worried About Ludacris After His Viral Glacier Water Video

August 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ice Cube’s son, O’Shea Jackson Jr., is concerned about Ludacris after the rapper shared a video of himself drinking still water directly from a glacier in Alaska. In the viral clip, he fills up his flask with the ice-cold water and takes a brave sip. Responding to the move on X (formerly Twitter), Jackson Jr. wrote: “……how long ago did he shoot this and have we been monitoring him?” In a subsequent post, he added: “I see a lot of people name calling but still water is still water. Boil that sh*t and make it cold again. Shoutout to @big_business_ I saw this video on his post about the same thing.”

When Hollywood Unlocked posted the clip on Instagram, users expressed similar concerns for Ludacris’ wellbeing. “First off…. You should NEVER drink any water that is STILL,” one fan wrote. “Unless, of course, you’re in the wilderness and happen to have a water purification kit. Now, he said it was a 600,000 year old glacier… how much ancient bacteria, parasites, diseases etc is defrosting and blooming in that water? No thanks, hard pass.” Another added: “They found a different strain of chlamydia in solid ice last year & they thawed it yall! Didn’t yall grandmas tell you that everything that glitters ain’t gold?”

Ludacris originally shared the video on his Instagram account. “I couldn’t come here and just have a show,” he explains in the clip. “You know I got a bucket list — or as I like to call it the fuck it list. I’ve never tasted fresh glacial water ever in my life, and this is a first. Here we go!” He eventually acknowledged the concern on X while describing the water as the “best tasting” he’s ever tried.

Fivio Foreign Angers Fans After Filming A Man Shooting Up Drugs

August 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Fivio Foreign sparked outrage online for filming a man using drugs amid a crowd that jeered and cheered him on, posting the interaction on social media on Sunday (August 25). This was during a link-up with Philly rapper Skrilla, and many felt like this clip promoted drug use and trade. “Philly bloccs Show got canceled we went to the hood to checc Skrilla,” he captioned the clip. The group around the user chanted “dog food,” a term often used to refer to heroin. One big part of the backlash was how the New York MC’s promotion of drug use contrasts with his 2024 U.S. presidential pick‘s policy.

Moreover, Donald Trump and his running mate J.D. Vance are very anti-drug, with the latter promising to subject convicted drug dealers to the death penalty if their campaign is victorious. Vance, an Ohio senator, should know well that the opioid crisis became a public health crisis in the state. This pairs with a rise in overdose deaths due to substances such as fentanyl. If Fivio Foreign thinks that drug use is a casual phenomenon that he should film indiscriminately, then perhaps he should reconsider his Trump support.

Elsewhere, Fivio Foreign clapped back at Pop Smoke’s brother’s claims that he’s fake about their relationship. “That n***a is weirdo don’t believe s**t them cornballs that want attention say,” he expressed on social media. “Pop ain’t follow that goofball when he was alive. Tell [him to] stop goin pop smoke crazy after death for the clout boy hated his own brother and pop [ain’t] fucc w this lame head a** n***a.” “Everybody gotta voice now…” Fivio captioned a related IG post. “Play some pop smoke so I don’t have to hear these N***as voice no more.”

“Y’all talking about a follow,” Fivio Foreign continued concerning Pop Smoke’s brother’s claims that he is not following the late superstar on Instagram. “Look at this, I have ‘The smoke will never clear’ on my chest. Y’all talking about a follow? I don’t know how they unfollow, I know I went through a season of following zero people. I don’t even care.”

Tyga & Floyd Mayweather Accused Of Violating RICO Act In Massive Lawsuit

August 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tyga, Floyd Mayweather Jr., and The Money Team are facing accusations of RICO violations, fraud, breach of contract, unjust enrichment, and more, in a new lawsuit brought by jeweler Leonard Sulaymanov. According to documents caught by AllHipHop, Sulaymanov is accusing them of refusing to pay for luxury watches and other jewelry.

“Mayweather, TMT, and possibly others have systematically created, participated and engaged in what can be described as a quasi-criminal, money laundering scheme involving high-end, rare and exclusive luxury watches and jewelry,” Sulaymanov’s lawyers claimed. “The Defendants, acting in concert and with other financially incentivized third parties, will purchase/acquire luxury watches by soliciting watch brokers, like Plaintiffs herein, and offering them upfront cash with payment terms in exchange for the purchase of watches and jewelry, with no intention of paying off the total balances.”

Sulaymanov further cited a number of meetings in 2021 with Mayweather’s associate, Jona Rechnitz. He claims the legendary boxer agreed to make several purchases amounting to a bill of $4,151,157. Rechnitz allegedly made an initial downpayment of $90,000, followed by another $177,000 payment, before he introduced him to Tyga in Las Vegas. The rapper agreed to buy a Rolex for $79,000 but allegedly didn’t make any initial payments on it. As time went on with no further payments being made by either party, Sulaymanov decided to take legal action.

“Defendants … take possession of watches and jewelry, demanding formal paperwork, boxes and warranties, request repayment terms with upfront cash deposits, only to refuse to pay the full price for said items and in some instances, claim they never ‘purchased’ the item but rather it was ‘gifted’ to them because of their fame and status,” Sulaymanov’s lawyers noted. “Lawsuits around the country have been filed in recent years against said Defendants.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Tyga on HotNewHipHop.

Martin Shkreli Ordered To Hand Over All His Copies Of Wu-Tang Clan’s Rare Album

August 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Wu-Tang Clan’s one-of-one album Once Upon A Time In Shaolin went through some big changes this year. It was formerly in the hands of sole owner Martin Shkreli, but now belongs to the digital art company PleasrDAO. It will technically be released as partial NFT buys. Now, according to Billboard, the court has sided with Pleasr and ordered Shkreli to hand over any existing copies he has of the project. In 2021, authorities seized the LP to account for the former pharmacy executive’s $7.4 million judgement in a securities fraud case. But he kept livestreaming it and boasting about the extra copies that he made.

This move from the court is to preserve the rare Wu-Tang Clan album’s one-of-one status and to punish Martin Shkreli for violating the original purchase terms and forfeiture order. Authorities barred him from “possessing, using, disseminating, or selling any interest in the album.” Per court documents, this is the same for “its data and files or the contents of the Album, or in any way causing further damage to Plaintiff respecting the album.” Shkreli must “sequester and turn over all of his copies, in any form” by August 30. He has until September 30 to file an affidavit detailing the “information regarding alleged copies of ‘Once Upon a Time In Shaolin,’ people he might’ve given them to, and any money he might’ve made from distributing or playing the album.”

In other Wu-Tang Clan news, here’s what Method Man had to say about OUATIS. “I thought it was some circus spectacle,” he told Vanity Fair. “I never really spoke to RZA about it. It’s an uncomfortable subject to most of the guys, so we don’t really discuss it too much. The process of the thing being made was never told to us. We were never told what it was. We were recording and being paid to do a certain amount of records.”

“[Cilvaringz] put them altogether into a compilation of Wu-Tang songs and marketed it as a Wu-Tang album,” Method Man continued. “A single copy of a Wu-Tang album. We all had a problem with it because that’s not how it was described to us.”

BossMan Dlow Allegedly Got Up-And-Coming Rapper Pregnant During Threesome

August 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It seems that BossMan Dlow is going to be a father in the near future, according to AllHipHop. They spoke with rising talent VV$ Diamond who’s making these claims and she says it happened unconventionally. “We started talking after his show in Greensboro, and a couple of months later, we linked up in Charlotte”. I pulled up to his room, and we ended up having a threesome. That’s how it all started”. AllHipHop says that their relationship had been kept under wraps and began after a series of lucky encounters in North Carolina.

We say, “had been”, because now the public knows and its thanks to a blackmailer. While out partying with friends at the XO Lounge in Greensboro, her phone was snatched pretty early on into the evening. Diamond says that within 24 hours the thief was commanding $20,000 from her. Obviously, she didn’t pay up because tons of “sensitive information, including messages and private photos, was leaked to a blog”. This led to BossMan Dlow to get quite upset with VV$ because he thought she was the one who spread all that private information.

But Diamond is swearing up and down that she would never do such a thing. “It was weird for him to say that. I didn’t leak the messages, and I didn’t have to. I could have exposed him months ago, but I didn’t. Out of respect for how much I messed with him, I kept it quiet”. They were originally planning to go through with an abortion, as she is already taking care of a three-year-old and doesn’t want any other baby daddy issues among other things. However, due to her family’s beliefs, she is going to carry the child until its born. AllHipHop says that things are still tense between them but she’s willing to hash things out as long as he is. Diamond is also staying resilient throughout all of this and is ready to face it all head on.

What are your thoughts on BossMan Dlow allegedly getting a female rapper pregnant during a threesome? Is this one of wildest stories in hip-hop this year? Do you think Dlow will publicly acknowledge this situation? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding BossMan Dlow and this ongoing story. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.
