Keke Palmer & Darius Jackson Pop Out For The First Time Since Mutual Abuse Allegations

August 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson have had a very difficult relationship trajectory, but it seems like things are healing for them in at least one way. Moreover, a new picture surfaced online of the couple with their son Leodis, the first one of them that came out since their since-dropped mutual abuse allegations from November and December of last year. Their son’s Instagram page recently posted about a trip to the zoo that this photo might be from. “I had a fun day at the zoo! I’m grateful. Hope you guys had a good weekend,” the caption read, although neither Palmer nor Jackson have said anything about their outing on their social media pages.

Furthermore, this got a lot of fans speculating as to whether or not the two are just coparenting or if they’re actually back together. Fans seem quite skeptical in general, but everyone can agree that it’s healthier and better for Keke Palmer and Darius Jackson to at least be amicable for the sake of their son. What’s more is that both seem to have moved on from the whole contentious situation, whether in personal or in rumored romantic terms. For example, Palmer sparked dating rumors with Duke Riley.

Elsewhere, even Sarunas Jackson (Darius’ brother) got roped into this whole scandal, as he filed for a restraining order against Keke Palmer and her mother Sharon. “God bless him, but this clout chasing must stop,” Sharon responded to his claims of harassment. In addition, she also shared that she is “totally confused” as to why Sarunas is “trying to serve someone who never wants to see him again ever in life.”

Meanwhile, this follows some disparaging comments from both parties, including Darius Jackson’s February rant blasting his custody battle with Keke Palmer. “I feel for the dads that gave up when it came to custody,” he shared. “It’s mentally, emotionally & physically draining. You’ll lose yourself. My spirit is too strong to give up. But I totally understand. I have pondered it. Thank God I have an amazing circle. For those who don’t have kids & this is something that I will emphasize to my son. Wait til marriage & make sure God is the center of your relationship. There’s a rule book that’s been given to us thousands of years ago. Best to follow it. Cause everything else leads to chaos.”

Lil Woody’s Lawyer Hit With 6-Month Suspension Amid YSL Case

August 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Supreme Court of Georgia has issued a six-month suspension for Lil Woody’s attorney, Jonathan R. Melnick, for conduct unrelated to the YSL RICO trial. He allegedly failed to notify a client of an important court proceeding in a child support case. The decision was announced in an opinion published on August 13th.

“Having carefully reviewed the record and the parties’ contentions, we determine that a suspension is appropriate given that Melnick’s misconduct was willful rather than negligent and harmed his client and the fact that he has received three prior disciplinary sanctions for similar conduct. See ABA Standards 4.42 (a) and 8.2, Bar Rule 4-103,” the court wrote. “We further determine that the mitigating factors do not outweigh the aggravating factors. Thus, based on the particular facts of this case and this Court’s prior precedent in similar cases, we conclude that a six-month suspension is the appropriate sanction for Melnick’s violations of Rules 1.3 and 1.4.”

The opinion concludes: “Accordingly, it is hereby ordered that Jonathan R. Melnick is suspended from the practice of law in Georgia for six months. The suspension based on this opinion will take effect as of the date this opinion is issued and will expire by its own terms six months later.” Check out the full filing below.

Pras Disses Lauryn Hill On New Song Amid Tour Cancelation Drama

August 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Pras has reportedly dissed his longtime Fugees collaborator, Lauryn Hill, on an unreleased song obtained by AllHipHop titled, “Bar Mitzfa.” The move comes after Hill canceled the group’s Miseducation of Lauryn Hill Anniversary Tour. On the unreleased song, Pras raps: “Don’t blame me, blame her/She made the mess/Not another f*ckin’ penny, what I told ‘Clef.”

Hill’s move came just before the 18-date trek across the United States was set to kick off in Tampa, Florida. The legendary group was set to perform in Los Angeles, New York, Atlanta, Dallas, and several more cities.

The Fugees Perform In Los Angeles

In announcing the cancelation, Hill blamed the media for playing into a “narrative” about her attendance record at concerts. “The trust and faith I have in my intentions and my commitment to my art seem to have been overshadowed by this unfortunate portrayal,” Hill wrote. “The audiences in the UK and Europe not only haven’t seen the Miseducation Anniversary performances yet, they also haven’t seen the Fugees perform together in over 25 years! Performing for my fans is a profound exchange of energy and emotion that excites me every time. Every show is a piece of my expression and testament to our connection and shared love for music. I can assure you that no one is more disappointed about not being able to perform than I am.”

Pras initially reacted to news of the cancelation while speaking with TMZ Hip Hop. “I saved her reputation for 20 years by not telling my side of the story,” he told the outlet. “But oops … cat’s out the bag.” As of now, dates in the UK and Europe are still scheduled to continue. Be on the lookout for further updates on Pras and Lauryn Hill on HotNewHipHop.

Dr. Dre Shares Exciting Update Surrounding Upcoming Snoop Dogg Collab Album

August 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Well, it’s now August 13 and we still do not have Missionary, the collab album between West Coast icons Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre. There was a little hope that Tha Dogg Pound was actually on the money with their claims. Daz Dillinger and Kurupt told the Drink Champs panel this in early June and it had us excited that it was dropping really soon. “Dogg sacrificed ’cause he got an album dropping in July. This album with Dr. Dre dropping in July”, Kurupt stated. Daz doubled down, adding, “He got an album coming out next month with Dr. Dre”.

For whatever reason, their words never became reality, but we do have a new update from one of the LP’s creators this time. According to AllHipHop, Dre had a chat with Entertainment Tonight and during it, he really hyped it up. Despite putting out a timeless classic with Doggystyle about three decades ago, the famed producer and rapper feels this work maybe even of higher quality. “This one is gonna show a different level of maturity with his lyrics and with my music,” Dre claimed.

Dr. Dre & Snoop Are Getting Us Excited About Their Album

“I feel like this is some of the best music I’ve done in my career”. Perhaps helping aid the studio sessions was the fact that the 2001 creator felt that he’s been in higher spirits. “[It’s been] much more fun”. These are all exciting tidbits to learn about, but hopefully we get the release date soon. As of now, there’s some speculation from Genius that November might be the month we receive Missionary.

What are your thoughts on Dr. Dre hyping up him and Snoop Dogg’s upcoming album Missionary? Do you think this could eventually be recognized as a better album than Doggystyle? Is this going to be one of the best hip-hop records of the year? 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 Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Skai Jackson Arrested For Domestic Battery After Alleged Fight With Boyfriend

August 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Skai Jackson was reportedly arrested for alleged domestic battery after having a fight with her boyfriend at Universal Studios in Los Angeles. Authorities were called to the CityWalk area of the theme park after she and her boyfriend were spotted arguing, per TMZ. According to TMZ, she pushed him more than once. Her boyfriend’s identity is a mystery to the public. She has rarely featured him on her social media pages.

Security reportedly detained the couple until law enforcement arrived. When law enforcement arrived, they arrested Jackson for misdemeanor domestic battery. After deputies reviewed the footage and saw that she pushed him, they cited Jackson. Authorities released her hours later. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office will review the case and determine if charges are warranted. Jackson and her boyfriend denied that anything got physical between them. Additionally, she told authorities that they are engaged and currently expecting a baby.

Younger fans will best remember Skai Jackson for her time on Disney Channel. A former child model-turned-child actor, she played Zuri Ross on the hit show Jessie from 2011-2015. She reprised the role on the first three seasons of Bunk’d, a spin-off series. After that, she played Glory Grant in the Marvel Rising animated specials. In 2020, finished in fifth place on the 29th season of Dancing With The Stars. She most recently appeared in The Man In The White Van, a thriller scheduled for release in North America on October 11.

Skai Jackson and her representatives are yet to comment on the incident. Jackson is also not the first from Disney Channel to have a run-in with the law. Orlando Brown, Kelli Berglund, and Jackson’s Jessie co-star Debby Ryan are among the names to deal with legal issues in their post-Disney careers. Hopefully, this case has a swift resolution for all involved.

Afrika Bambaataa Reunites With Sexual Assault Accuser That Walked Back His Allegations

August 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Afrika Bambaataa has one of hip-hop’s most complicated, controversial, and crucial legacies in legendary and ugly ways alike. The hip-hop originator and pioneer also faced a slew of child sex trafficking and sexual assault accusations over the past eight years or so, which have really tainted his contributions to the culture in at least a small but nonetheless significant way. However, one of his accusers, Ronald “Bee-Stinger” Savage, linked up with him at an event for a Zulu Nation member, and Savage gave the following statement exclusively to AllHipHop: “Never underestimate the power of God when he intervenes in an affair he sets everything straight.”

“Bambaataa is not a pedophile and, in my eyes, he was doing something that was consensual with someone that he thought was of age,” Savage said of Afrika Bambaataa during a recent interview with Chuck “Jigsaw” Creekmur. “I wish, back in 2016, I remembered about the fake ID, I wasn’t thinking about that I had forgot about that I was in deep depression and still dealing with the trauma as an adult. I want to apologize for the little kid that didn’t know anybody and just wanted to be down with this thing called hip-hop so I pretended to be older.

Afrika Bambaataa’s Accuser Changes His Perspective

“This is something that took place 35 to over 40 years ago,” Savage continued concerning Afrikaa Bambaataa. “This man has never been convicted of anything. Let it go. I needed to set the record straight [and get] my closure. I just hope this brings healing to people around the world. If I can have forgiveness and healing, so can you.” Ronald Savage is a former hip-hop artist that also got involved in a lot of politics and activism in New York, particularly in regards to child molestation.

He accused Afrika Bambaataa of sexually abusing him back in 1980 when Savage was just 15 years old. This kicked off a wave of accusations against the rap legend. This will probably be quite a complex and controversial walk-back to see evolve in the public consciousness. Let’s see how people respond to this shifting legacy.
