JAY-Z Flaunts Incredible $340,000 Watch For Fanatics Fest

August 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

JAY-Z rocked a unique Bugatti Tourbillon watch worth $340,000 to the reopening of his storied 40/40 Club for Fanatics Fest in New York City, last week. Celebrity jeweler Jacob Arabo, who designed the piece, revealed that the legendary rapper was the first to own it in a post on Instagram afterward. “My dear friend @jayz was the first to own the 5 time zone watch. 25 years later, he’s the first to own the bugatti tourbillon,” he wrote, as caught by HipHopDX.

In another post, he added: “The Bugatti Tourbillon is the result of months of tireless collaboration between our teams, with each side bringing its expertise to the table. Inspired by Bugatti’s latest hyper sports car, the Tourbillon, the watch mirrors the car’s iconic design elements and groundbreaking technology. The 52 x 44 mm case, crafted to resemble the car’s body, features the front grille, side radiator inlets, and large sapphire side windows.”

He continued: “Inside, the watch is powered by a V16 engine block automaton made from a single block of transparent sapphire, a nod to Bugatti’s groundbreaking engine architecture. The 30-second flying tourbillon and retrograde hours and minutes, designed to mimic the RPM counter, are feats of engineering that push the boundaries of horology.” It’s far from the most expensive watch JAY has been spotted wearing as of late. Earlier this year, he was caught with a Rolex watch valued at over $4 million. Additionally, he invested in the luxury watch marketplace, Wristcheck.

Kai Cenat & IShowSpeed Shower Together After Two-Day Minecraft Stream

August 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed are up to even more antics as they were seen taking a shower together on livestream. According to Metro, the two massively popular multimedia figures did so after playing Minecraft for two days straight. For those who are not familiar with the sandbox game there are multiple modes to play the game on. You have “Creative”, which allows the player to not die and build anything they want with unlimited materials. Then, there’s “Survival”. In that mode you have to collect everything yourself and you can die. There is a variant called “Hardcore” and when you die you lose all of your progress, and you’ll have to start from scratch.

As you know, Kai and Speed love to try anything so they attempted to beat Minecraft and its final mob boss, the Ender Dragon, on “Hardcore”. However, after getting to that point after their reported 14th attempt (25 hours of gameplay), Cenat died. A therapist was even brought in to try and calm these two balls of energy down, but to no avail. The livestream started on August 17, and they apparently aren’t stopping until they beat Minecraft.

In apparent attempt to try and find some method of relaxation and stress relief, Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed decided to shower together, two days into the marathon. However, during the recording, Speed was getting too close for Cenat’s liking. “Your [shower] is over there!”, Cenat said. “I’m just washing my body bro”, Speed replied. “In front of me?!”, Cenat questioned. “Stop being weird, we’re bros, this is what bros do. You ain’t never taken a shower with your homeboy?”, Speed asked. “No… that’s a**”. Some fans were weirded out as well. “Remember, kids see and follow everything .. be mindful of the examples you set.. everything isn’t funny or worth posting.” However, there were some who pointed out locker room layouts. “I mean men shower in locker rooms together”.

What are your thoughts on Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed showering together on stream? Is this one of the weirder things you have seen these two do? Do you agree with some of the comments about not needing to post everything? How much longer will it take for them to beat Minecraft? 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 Kai Cenat and IShowSpeed.

Yak Gotti’s Lawyers Have A Unique Idea To Speed Up “Arduous” Trial

August 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yak Gotti’s legal team has submitted a motion requesting that the judge in the YSL RICO case implement a time limit on the state’s case as the trial continues to drag on. In doing so, they argued that the prosecution has been unprepared and inefficient in the presentation of its evidence.

The motion begins: “As this Court has broad discretion to exercise reasonable control over the presentation of witnesses and evidence, the Court should use that discretion to prevent this trial from stretching indefinitely and beyond the reaches of time due to the State’s unpreparedness and inefficiency, and presentation of cumulative evidence causing undue delay, poor decision making by the jury, as well as harm to Kendrick and other Defendants. Simply put, the Court should put a reasonable time limit, or clock, on the remainder of the State’s case.” From there, it describes the trial as an “arduous, tedious journey.”

Yak Gotti Attends Young Stoner Life Meet & Greet

The motion comes as the state still has 100 witnesses left to call and the trial is already the longest-running in Georgia’s history. YSL (Young Slime Life) is accused of being a criminal street gang responsible for numerous crimes including murder. Earlier this month, former President Donald Trump expressed his interest in the case, agreeing with Adin Ross that district attorney Fani Willis is treating Young Thug unfairly. “I heard that actually,” Trump responded to Ross during their stream together. “So, I’ve heard about him and I’ve heard he’s being treated very unfairly by her [Willis] and I would tell her she’s gotta treat these patriots that are being all– it’s terrible. They’re going after them.” He concluded: “He’s gotta be treated fairly.”

Yak Gotti’s Lawyers File New Motion

Lawyers for Yak Gotti have filed a motion asking the Judge to put a time limit on the remainder of the states case due to their repeated lack of preparation, waste of time, and cumulative evidence.

Sexyy Red’s NSFW Beauty Brand Prompts Backlash Over Raunchy Product Names

August 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Sexyy Red has dealt with pearl-clutching backlash ever since she blew up, from boring takes about her twerking too much to some legitimate criticism of her lewd nature. Even though most of this conversation turned into an overreaction online, it’s sometimes easy to see why people are so disgusted by the antics. For example, she recently announced the launch of her new beauty brand, Northside Princess, and the product names are… Creative, to say the least. Here are some highlights: “Bootyhole Brown,” “Yellow Discharge,” “Gonorrhea,” and “Sex On My Period.” With these shade names, it’s funny to think about a middle-aged Macy’s worker restocking “Nut” on shelves.

Jokes aside, this backlash – however understandable – is also the type of reaction that is best expressed by one’s wallet. If you don’t buy it, you don’t really need to say anything else about it for your opinion to be clear to Sexyy Red and her team. She’s much busier elsewhere, wishing Chief Keef a happy birthday amid some alleged love triangle drama and continuing to pop out for electric performances. Still, whether or not Northside Princess is a hit, there is plenty more where these titles came from. They will probably grace a song title or two, if not some lyrical nods.

Meanwhile, in other Sexyy Red news, she recently opened up about postpartum depression following the gold certification of “Get It Sexyy.” “The night get it sexyy was made I was goin thru a lot. Just had my baby felt depressed and was goin thru postpartum,” she recalled on Instagram. “My team in Miami would leave me in the studio to write songs. I would just b in there crying thinkin about life.

“I finally said send me back to St. Louis so I can b around the ones I love and get back to me!” Sexyy Red continued. “Boom I’m in St. Louis. I invite all my sisters and friends to my studio session. We had blunts, bottles, food allet and I came out wit GET IT SEXYY GET IT SEXYY. It really was ah confidence booster for me. We was so turnt all my sadness was gone I love my family period.”

NBA YoungBoy Moves His Federal Gun Case To Another State For Sentencing

August 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

NBA YoungBoy just got some massive updates in his federal gun case, and it looks like he’s trying to control as much as he can about it. Moreover, reports emerged this week that he reportedly pleaded guilty to the federal indictment on August 14, and he successfully moved his case from Baton Rouge to Utah for sentencing. “I, defendant, have been informed that a Felony Indictment is pending against me in the above designated case,” the alleged court documents read. “I wish to plead guilty to the offense charged, to consent to the disposition of the case in the District of Utah in which I am present, and to waive trial in the above captioned District.”

Furthermore, YoungBoy previously attempted to postpone the case. “After Rahimi, it is still an open question whether Congress can simply prohibit all convicted felons, regardless of the nature of the felony, from possessing a firearm. Or whether such prohibitions can [apply] without individualized findings that a particular defendant presents a credible threat to the safety of others. And finally, it is an open question whether such prohibitions may be permanent,” his lawyer Drew Fielding posited.

NBA YoungBoy’s Case Is Moving To Utah

As you may already know, YoungBoy’s trial process turned out to be a pretty chaotic one, as fans Zoom-bombed the proceedings. Not only that, but they interrupted the judge multiple times by proclaiming “Free YB” and telling the judge to “shut up.” The rabid nature of the Never Broke Again fanbase became a popular Internet meme, one that remains very hard to ignore or dismiss thanks to recent situations like these. We can only wonder how they will react to this guilty plea, and to the case moving back to Utah for their fav to receive his sentence.

Meanwhile, other rap figures think that YoungBoy will be just fine. Tony Yayo thinks that he has too much money to worry about prison time, and that this shouldn’t concern him much. Regardless of your thoughts on that, the Baton Rouge spitter is certainly in a better position than most to handle life behind bars. Now, all that remains is to see what happens with the case.

North West Sparks Fan Concern After Hanging Out With Streamer Tylil

August 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

North West is fresh off yet another feature thanks to VULTURES 2, and wants to hang out with celebrities just as much as her father Ye does. However, this resulted in some controversy when she linked up with popular streamer Tylil for some social media content. Moreover, many fans thought that this was an inappropriate meeting, or were instead concerned with the 11-year-old not hanging out with people that are her age. Still, other social media users pointed out that, not only was La La Anthony there to accompany her, but that North’s security team is probably more than enough to prevent any dangers.

Also, this came as a result of many people not being familiar with Tylil and making unfair assumptions about his character based on this out-of-context situation, which is not what we’re suggesting here. Elsewhere, though, North West also had plenty of fun at Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s recent VULTURES listening party, where we’re sure she saw plenty of famous faces. Sadly, this came at a time in which fans were more preoccupied with Ye’s alleged nitrous addiction. Hopefully we get some more heartening updates soon in that regard.

Nevertheless, North West’s admiration of streamers is no shocker, as Kai Cenat attended her birthday party and responded to the resulting backlash. “Here’s the thing, first things first, bro,” he expressed to “everybody who made [the birthday party] weird.” “I am North’s favorite streamer bro, okay? So, yesterday, all she wanted to do was meet me, bro. That was it. Literally. So, anybody who’s making it weird, like, that’s the weirdest thing ever. We had a great time yesterday. She’s great, bro. She has a good group of friends around her, like, everything was great.”

Meanwhile, North West also popped out to witness Kendrick Lamar’s Juneteenth concert and, to no one’s surprise, had a blast. As such, it’s no surprise that she continues to link up with a lot of people and is always excited about doing so. Fans are reasonably skeptical of many of these interactions, but they would much rather be safe than sorry. Let’s just make sure the conversation centers around prevention and not on falsely characterizing folks that find themselves in this situation.

August 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The topic began with him sharing a selfie on Instagram with the caption: “Don’t label me nothing outside of A MAN A FATHER and A 1000% Muslim.” As fans questioned his intent with the statement, Durk took to his Instagram Story to elaborate.

“I don’t gabgbang I’m a Muslim,” he wrote. “Basically what I was saying on my post in so many words you can’t do both ima be the one who say it.

It’s not the first time Durk has spoken about his growth in recent years. Back in June, he discussed his past drug use and revealed he checked into rehab in a video shared by TMZ. “It was tough at first, but it ain’t that tough ’cause I really knew what I wanted. I knew what was holding me back,” Durk explained at the time. “I wanted better. I want to be a better man, a better father, a better leader. My main goal is peace, being with the family and staying out of bullsh*t. I just see myself staying on the right track and trying to change a lot of lives.”
