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.

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.

50 Cent Sends Message To Young Buck As He Prepares To Repay Debt

August 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yesterday, a major update in the ongoing battle between former G-Unit bandmates came through by way of AllHipHop. According to them, Young Buck had collected enough money to pay off the debt he owes 50 Cent. It totals out to $250,000 and it comes from a loan that the G-Unit head honcho took out to aid Buck. Speaking of which, the latter had to apply for bankruptcy in 2020 after life hit him hard in 2019. It took the Nashville, Tennessee rapper quite a bit of time to come up with the money. However, things finally seem to be on the up and up for Buck.

Unfortunately, he did need to sell a lot of valuable assets to get this done. From jewelry to expensive cars to his catalog, Buck ultimately had to sacrifice in order to satisfy 50. All of this was able to go for over one million dollars and because of this, he’s also able to pay the IRS the $190,000 he owes to them for child support. Now, with this being done, HipHopDX says that Buck has no more contractual obligations to 50 Cent.

The master troller wrote, “I don’t know why they make me go through this part, but I’m a need that money by Monday. ”.

What are your thoughts on 50 Cent’s message to Young Buck following the latter accruing enough money to pay back the former?

Donald Trump Believes Illegal Immigration Saved His Life

August 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last night, Donald Trump and Elon Musk joined forces for a Twitter Spaces conversation that lasted hours. Overall, the two spoke on various different topics, specifically as it pertains to the United States and the upcoming election. A hot topic of debate throughout all of this involved none other than illegal immigration. Trump believes that the United States needs to secure its border and stop people from coming in.

He has blamed Kamala Harris for the border situation and is not letting up on the gas. Ironically enough, Trump is also crediting illegal immigration for saving his life. Last month, there was an assassination attempt on the former President. Before the shot, he turned his head to the side which caused the bullet to graze his ear instead of his head. Trump had turned his head so he could address a graphic that was discussing illegal immigration. Put two and two together, and you get the former President’s assertion.

Kanye West Faces Huge Lawsuit For Using Pictures Of Himself And Bianca Censori

August 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West is facing a new lawsuit from BackGrid USA, Inc. and Backgrid London Ltd for posting photos of himself and his wife, Bianca Censori, without permission. As noted by AllHipHop, one of the images shows Ye rocking all black while Censori wears one of her revealing nude sheer outfits. The caption reads: “Yall know who ran the summer.” Another shows the two arriving at The Nuova Arena Restaurant in Milan in February 2024 and one more features them entering a Balenciaga store. The lawsuit mentions a total of 10 images across his Instagram page and website altogether.

BackGrid alleged that by publishing these pictures, West benefitted financially with increased traffic to his online platforms. They seek statutory damages of up to $150,000 per picture West used as well as the coverage of attorney’s fees and injunctive relief. The total amounts to $1.5 million.

West and Censori have been inseparable as of late. The two attended a party where West DJ’d over the weekend. He played popular songs from Prince, Eurythmics, The Eagles, JAY-Z, and more, but also made headlines for reportedly using songs from Diddy and R. Kelly back to back. Producer Mike Hector, who was in attendance, wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “I’m at this party and kanye djing. he played 2 diddy songs and then a r kelly song right after. this n***a do not give a f*ck.” Censori, on the other hand, turned heads with her dance moves next to West as he handled the music.

The BackGrid lawsuit comes after West released his latest album with Ty Dolla Sign, Vultures 2, earlier this month. Be on the lookout for further updates on Kanye West and Bianca Censori on HotNewHipHop.
