JAY-Z Scores Revenge As Cop Takes Plea Deal In Champagne Theft Case

August 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

One of three New York Police Department (NYPD) detectives who stands accused of stealing thousands of dollars worth of champagne from JAY-Z has admitted to the wrongdoing and resigned from the force. The three men, Jonathan Gonzalez, Warren Golden, and Wojciech Czech, allegedly stole two unopened bottles worth $2,900 while patrolling for drugs at the Electric Zoo Music Festival on Randall’s Island. Gonzalez and Czech were charged with grand larceny and criminal possession of stolen property. Additionally, Golden and Gonzalez received charges of official misconduct for failing to prevent theft.

On account of admitting to the crime, Czech will only receive one count of misdemeanor petty larceny and serve 15 days of community service while resigning from the NYPD. “In addition to the alleged theft that occurred, none of these Officers stepped up and stopped this activity. Public confidence in the criminal justice system depends on members of law enforcement acting with the utmost integrity while on duty and following the same rules that apply to everyone else,” said District Attorney Bragg, as caught by AllHipHop.

Bragg first indicted the trio back in May 2023. At the time, Czech and his legal team were much more adamant about his innocence. “(My client) is shocked and saddened by these allegations,” Czech’s attorney, Attorney Oliver Storch, said at the time. “He has pleaded not guilty and asks the public to withhold judgment until the charges can be fully addressed in the appropriate forum. Detective Czech loves being in the business of protecting and saving lives.”

Prior to Czech’s admission, Gonzalez owned up to the crime and quit as well. Be on the lookout for further updates on JAY-Z on HotNewHipHop.

G Herbo Has A Bold Opinion About Rappers That Go On No Jumper

August 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

G Herbo is coming out of left field with some pretty brazen comments about rappers who go on No Jumper. Funny enough, the hip-hop/pop culture platform reposted the Chicago, Illinois native’s Instagram Story. “You offer these n****s enough money or clout they suck a d**k on no jumper”. The first we are asking ourselves is who could he possibly be referring to? Is it artists who need extra publicity? Or is he targeting simply anyone who decides to? Or is it someone in particular?

It seems it’s Herbo’s plan to be as vague as possible, because this is certainly creating a lot of chatter online. Underneath the reupload from No Jumper, a lot of people are seeing the truth in this bold claim. “I mean he not kapin yall sum clout chasing pickle ticklers”, one IG user echoes. ” Others are seeming to agree with the “PTSD” rapper due to their own disliking of the podcast and Adam22.

G Herbo’s Calling It How He Sees It When It Comes Guests No Jumper

A post shared by No Jumper (@nojumper)

“Welp I see NO LIES detected.. The WHOLE podcast FRUITY ASF ..”. However, Adam was quick to respond and in hilarious fashion. He reshared what appears to be an older photo of him and G Herbo linking up on his IG Story. He included a P. Diddy song aptly titled “I’ll Be Missing You”, suggesting that the drill artist did in fact do what he claims the rapper’s do when they go on the show. Herbo has been a frequent guest of the show in the past, making this comeback from Adam22 even sweeter. However, we still want to know, “who hurt G Herbo?”.

What are your thoughts on G Herbo calling out guests that go on No Jumper like this? Do you think he’s right, why or why not? What do you think of Adam22’s response? Are they the most controversial hip-hop news platform right now? 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 G Herbo and No Jumper. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

The Weeknd Announces New “Nightmare Trilogy” Haunted House At Universal Studios Hollywood

August 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Today, The Weeknd took to X to announce that he’s had something exciting in the works for a while now, which fans can enjoy come September. The project in question is a haunted house, dubbed the “Nightmare Trilogy,” which promises a one-of-a-kind horror experience for fans. Reportedly, it will take place on select dates between September 5 and November 3 at Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights.

The spooky attraction will feature music by The Weeknd and his frequent collaborator Mike Dean. For obvious reasons, supporters can’t wait. “The Weeknd returns,” a message written in blood reads in an ominous new video teaser, shared by Halloween Horror Nights. Check it out down below.

Halloween Horror Nights Unveils Spooky New Trailer For The Weeknd’s “Nightmare Trilogy”

The exciting announcement comes after The Weeknd launched his “After Hours Nightmare” haunted house at Halloween Horror Nights in 2022. The attraction was inspired by his 2020 album, After Hours. At the time, Halloween Horror Nights executive producer and creative director John Murdy told Billboard that he didn’t see The Weeknd’s vision at first. After digging into his discography and speaking with him, however, it all clicked. “I knew his songs, but I didn’t really understand how it all connected to horror until I sat down and started talking to Abel and then did a deep dive into his music,” Murdy explained. “His music videos and his cinematic inspirations … Was really I think the ‘a-ha’ moment for me.”

The bar is certainly set high this time around, and social media users are looking forward to seeing what else the hitmaker has up his sleeve. What do you think of The Weeknd announcing his new “Nightmare Trilogy” haunted house coming to Universal Studios Hollywood’s Halloween Horror Nights in September? What about the spooky new teaser?

Kanye West Wanted To Change His Name To “Christian Billionaire Ye”

August 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In a 2022 interview with conservative commentator Candace Owens that recently became publicly available, Kanye West makes a number of statements. It’s expected for Ye, whose public perception has arguably never been lower than it is right now. The interview, filmed shortly after Ye made antisemitic remarks that caused him to lose his highest-profile sponsorships, touches on a variety of topics. Ye addresses the comments and “White Lives Matter” marketing. He gives props to Drake and Jay-Z, two artists he previously fell out with. He calls the former the greatest of all time by sales and the latter the greatest of all time when discussing inspirations.

During the interview, he also claims that he considered changing his name to “Christian Billionaire Ye.” “My name is Ye. I take it like you’re calling Caitlyn [Jenner] ‘Bruce.’ My name is Ye. Also, refer to me as ‘Billionaire.’ Christian Billionaire Ye,” says Ye in the clip. “Matter of fact, I may legally change my name to ‘Christian Billionaire Ye’, so you’re forced to call me it.” On a ranking of the most questionable decisions Ye’s made, a name change like that would have been on the lower end.

Kanye West sitting down with Candace Owens is not surprising. Owens attended the fashion show where Ye debuted the “White Lives Matter” shirts, even wearing one herself. The two were friends at the time of the interview’s filming, though it is unclear if the two have had a change in their relationship. Ye is known for burning bridges, even with those who seem to align with his beliefs. Owens claimed that she sat on the interview for so long because she was waiting for “the right time.” One can assume that this was the right time, in her mind.

Kanye West recently released Vultures 2, the second of what is intended to be a trilogy of collaborative albums with Ty Dolla $ign. The album has received mainly negative reception, with even Ye’s biggest fans calling it a dud. You can read our review of the new release here. “Christian Billionaire Ye” probably would not have caught on, but it is a uniquely “Kanye” idea to believe otherwise.

Nelly Hit With Ecstacy Possession Arrest

August 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Nelly was arrested by the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Gaming Division at the Hollywood Casino around 5:00 AM on Wednesday over a failure to appear warrant from 2018 out of Maryland Heights. To make matters worse, he was in possession of four ecstasy pills, a controlled substance, and was without insurance at the time. Maryland Heights Police picked him up from the highway patrol and placed him under arrest. He’s since been released from jail.

Nelly has yet to speak out on the situation on social media. His mugshot is currently floating around the internet, in which he appears in a black hoodie with a white t-shirt and a necklace. His eyes are somewhat red.

When The Neighborhood Talk posted the mugshot on Instagram, fans had plenty of reactions. “This man has had heroin, cocaine and pills found on his tour bus throughout the years and a couple years ago he was so high when he performed people thought he was possessed and y’all surprised? Am I the only one that remembers all this,” one user commented. Nelly previously pleaded guilty to misdemeanor possession of marijuana and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia in 2015. Another social media user referenced the news that he and Ashanti are getting their own reality show. “Well DAM NELLY!!!! bad look after getting millions dollars for that NEW ‘family reality show’ with your new wifey….” they wrote.

PnB Rock Murder Suspect Found Guilty On All Counts

August 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Today, nearly three years after the fatal shooting of PnB Rock, his family has finally gotten justice. Freddie Trone and Tremont Jones’ trial came to an end, according to Rolling Stone‘s Nancy Dillon, and they were both hit with guilty verdicts. Trone was found guilty of murder, two counts of robbery, and one count of conspiracy. Jones was found guilty of robbery and conspiracy.

Trone is the father of the 17-year-old believed to have pulled the trigger back in 2022, who was deemed mentally unfit to stand trial last month. Prosecutors accuse Trone of instructing his son to enter the South Los Angeles Roscoe’s Chicken ‘N Waffles to rob the rapper after Jones tipped him off.

Trone, on the other hand, insisted that he only helped his son after the shooting had already been carried out. “I understand you’re trying to put together your story,” he told prosecutors earlier this week, “I never had nothing to do with it, I wasn’t there. I didn’t tell nobody to do nothing, I didn’t hand nobody no gun.” Clearly, the jury wasn’t buying his story. Dates for Trone and Jones’ sentencing have yet to be announced.

The news comes shortly after PnB Rock’s mother, Deanna Allen, called Trone out in an interview outside of the courtroom. “His lies are ridiculous. That is ridiculous. The surveillance should speak for itself,” she told Rolling Stone. “They’re trying to say they had nothing to do with it. It’s unacceptable. My son was a beautiful person.” What do you think of PnB Rock’s accused killer being found guilty in court today? Are you surprised or not? What about the late artist’s family getting justice for his death years later? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Kodak Black’s Questionable Advice For Youth Football Team Sparks Uproar

August 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It goes without saying that Kodak Black has seen a lot in his life. For this reason, it seems like he’d be an excellent candidate to pass on some of the lessons he’s learned to the youth. Aside from his career and dealing with legal issues, the rapper has also been open about battling addiction. Lately, he’s been taking steps toward sobriety, and fans are glad to see him on a better path. Recently, however, he was recruited to give a motivational speech to a youth football team in Florida. A few of his comments have raised eyebrows, as social media users don’t think he delivered his message in a kid-friendly way.

“Say no to drugs,” he told the group of children. “They too good, y’all gone like em and go cr*zy.” While the advice itself is solid enough, many are pointing out that he appeared to address the group while holding both alcohol and a blunt. Others argue that telling young and impressionable individuals that drugs are “good” on any level is irresponsible.

Kodak Black Tells Kids To Avoid Drugs Because They’re “Too Good”

“Bro smoking and drinking telling them not to do drugs?” one commenter asks. “Why is he speaking to the kids with a beer in his hands,” someone else wonders. Fortunately, while most viewers think he shouldn’t address children again in the future, others are coming to his defense. “Can’t say he wrong for being straightforward,” one fan says. “Hey you have to be real with them because them kids ain’t foolish these days,” another claims.

What do you think of Kodak Black’s recent speech to a Florida youth football team? What about the backlash he’s receiving for it? Do you think he should have rephrased his advice about saying no to drugs or are social media users overreacting?
