August 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Latto hilariously curved a hopeful fan who called her “bae” at her album release party for Sugar Honey Iced Tea over the weekend. In a clip going viral on social media, the man attempts to get the rapper’s attention to her dismay. “Bae??” she remarks back at him before going on about her business. When Hollywood Unlocked posted the video on Instagram, fans shared plenty of jokes at the fan’s expense.

“My boy turned the camera around and looked like Nick Cannon in Love Don’t Cost a Thing,” one user wrote. Another added: “He look like the 1 black video game character in the 90s.” One more fan wrote: “Feel like harassment when you not attracted to them.”

Latto dropped Sugar Honey Iced Tea on August 9 with features from Young Nudy, Hunxho, Coco Jones, Megan Thee Stallion, Ciara, Mariah the Scientist, Teezo Touchdown, Cardi B, and Flo Milli. “I feel like what I’m doing has not been done before, so let’s start there. [Aesthetically], I’ve been pulling from Mariah Carey, Beyoncé, and Lil’ Kim,” she explained of the album, as caught by VIBE. “[Musically], I’ve been pulling from Kelis, but obviously with a Southern hip-hop twist. They have very feminine energy, but masculine in the sense of confidence. I feel like they was boss bi**hes. It just gave ‘I’m that girl.’ When you hear and see them in that prime era, it gave ‘I’m here to stay.’”

Lil Woody Almost Breaks Character Due To Shocking Question At Young Thug Trial

August 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Woody’s testimony during the Young Thug trial has been an absolute firestorm, and that’s not counting the six-month suspension that his lawyer received. However, there have also been some cracks through the system, and a recent court interaction has many fans thinking that he almost broke character and spilled some more tea about an incident that he forgot about and might still feel a type of way over. The court asked Woody about a situation that happened when a group of men jumped him, and while he initially said that he didn’t recall what he specifically told detectives, he eventually said that “They time gon’ come,” suggesting that something did happen and that he’s still hurt by it.

Of course, this is all incredibly understandable, and to say that this is Lil Woody “breaking character” misrepresents what he agreed to do for this trial. But there are many conflicting aspects to his state’s witness role, as he recently claimed to have lied to police about Young Thug’s alleged crimes in order to stay out of trouble and get the cops off his back.

In addition, prosecutors treated Lil Woody as a “hostile witness” after an explosive rant against the state for pressuring him during this Young Thug and YSL case. “Like I told you before y’all called me to trial, I have lied,” he initially expressed, with his subsequent disparaging comments against a detective being what made him “hostile” in the eyes of the prosecution. “I made things up, I told you this before y’all brought me in this courtroom, and I’m telling you now. You asked me about 2015. I had got my life together.

“Y’all are trying to put this on my conscience, y’all are trying to put people’s lives in my hands,” Lil Woody continued in the Young Thug trial. “I don’t want to lie on people, I don’t want to be here, y’all have pressured me. I’m tired of y’all ’cause y’all know y’all wrong, and y’all Black people doing this to us. Leave me alone, let me leave. Man, y’all pissing me off. Listen, I don’t recall nothing I said to no police, stop asking me these questions. I’m telling you I don’t recall. That’s what you want me to say?”

Aaron Rodgers’ Parents Reveal Who Is To Blame For Their Estranged Relationship

August 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Aaron Rodgers’ parents say his ex, actress Olivia Munn, was the reason for the strained relationship between the quarterback and his family. They claim that she caused the divide after the then-Packers star had a bad game back in 2014. Rodgers’ parents, Ed and Darla, made the allegations in an interview with sportswriter Ian O’Connor for his upcoming book, Out of the Darkness: The Mystery of Aaron Rodgers.

Rodgers’ parents say they visited Aaron in Green Bay just before he took on the Buffalo Bills in early December. They added that when they left, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. However, after Aaron had one of the worst individual games of his career, Munn allegedly called Ed and Darla. She reportedly told them they were now no longer wanted at his next game, a showdown with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Ed pushed back on that request. He reminded Munn that they were Aaron’s parents and did not need permission to attend his games. They claim that after that, Aaron emailed them and told them not to “attack the woman he loves.” At that point, their relationship fractured. Rodgers’ parents told O’Connor that it took nearly a decade for them to have a normal conversation with Aaron again.

Aaron Rodgers’ parents also claim that Munn made up lies about the family’s issues in the years that followed. She told media outlets the family had problems prior to her arrival. “She said the family was dysfunctional before she met Aaron, which is bull,” Ed Rodgers told O’Connor. “We were going to all of his games; we were staying at his house. We had a great relationship. Nothing bad was going on.” Aaron insisted that the problems existed before Munn and that any rift between him and his parents was not her fault.

Aaron Rodgers’ biography is the latest for Ian O’Connor. He previously covered legendary coaches Bill Belichick and Mike Krzyzewski. Rodgers is notoriously tight-lipped about his personal life, to the point that fans joke that he has no family at all. Out of the Darkness will be an explosive tell-all, as some of the early quotes suggest. O’Connor’s book goes on sale on August 20.

Travis Scott Fans Continue GRAMMY Debate Following Killer Mike’s Low Album Sales

August 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Travis Scott fans have been pretty hurt over the fact that Killer Mike took home Best Rap Album at the 2024 GRAMMYs. The Houston native’s fourth studio album, UTOPIA, was a smashing success overall, but ultimately, it wasn’t enough. Since that night, the debates have been nonstop. It didn’t help that the Atlanta, Georgia MC took some subliminal shots at La Flame on his recent album, Michael & The Mighty Midnight Revival, Sings For Sinners And Saints. “STILL TALK’N THAT S***”, the closing track, sees Mike continue to taunt his new foe. “You gon’ respect me like a motherf***in’ Grammy winner / Like I cooked your favorite rapper like a granny dinner (Yeah)“.

This even got to Travis Scott’s manager, David Stromberg. He responded to these exact lyrics, comparing Mike to former controversial GRAMMY winners who may have not deserved the award. “Macklemore and Cardi B tour selling out Chuck E Cheese karaoke nights near u,” Stromberg tweeted. Speaking of the Run The Jewels MC’s recent album, the first week sales for it were revealed and they weren’t eye-popping in a good way. DJ Akademiks shared on his IG that it only moved 2,874 units and this graphic was the foundation he used to rekindle the debate of the GRAMMYs losing their validity.

This set off some Mike supporters, stating how it’s always going to be quality over sales. “Killer Mike’s new album had ZERO promotion. S*** just dropped out of nowhere. But I don’t understand what album sales have to do with album quality”, one user replies. “Quality of music isn’t measured by numbers,” another adds. Then, Scott fans fired back with a tired argument. “Still never heard a killer Mike song”. However, there are some who were trying to flat out embarrass Mike. “Obviously its irrelevant its been months since he won that award and that album is still irrelevant as it was beforehow u win rap album of the year if the album u dropped had 0 effect on culture”.

What are your thoughts on Travis Scott and Killer Mike fans continuing the GRAMMYs debate? Where do you stand on who should have won Best Rap Album? Do you think Mike would have sold more had there been more promotion? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

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.
