Nicki Minaj’s Sister Responds After Rapper’s Alleged Shots At Her

August 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Surprisingly, Nicki Minaj might be stirring up some family drama as of late, as people think that a recent social media rant might’ve taken aim at her sister, Ming Luanli. For those unaware, Ming has apparently done multiple interviews recently talking about her relationship with the rapper, especially as she tries to embark on a musical career of her own. However, given what Minaj said in the audio clips below, some people assume she isn’t happy with how her sister has spoken about her and referenced her in her own come-up. Of course, this is all pretty vague and too personal of an issue for the media to cast proper judgement, but it seems like an overall messy situation.

“Why would a person speak on a person they love?” Nicki Minaj’s comments began, allegedly aimed at her sister Ming Luanli. “Why would a person speak openly about a private person, why would a person do that, why would a person do that? Who would you speak about in your interviews if someone wanted to interview you? Yourself, right?

“It’s always a bad sign if a person who’s not even in your line of work, someone who has never been successful in your line of work is doing interviews with people in your line of work,” Nicki Minaj continued. “Like, hmm… I think y’all think talent, like, you can catch it like a cold. Or maybe people can pass it through the genes. Even with blood relation, what God has given to me is mine. You have to go and get your own. You have to discover whatever it is that you’re great at. Being a mooch and a clown don’t run in my DNA.”

Meanwhile, Ming Luanli actually responded to Nicki Minaj’s comments whether the Trinidadian MC intended to target her sister or not. Moreover, Luanli left a comment under the We In Miami podcast’s coverage of Minaj’s rant, which was one of the platforms that Luanli spoke on her sister with. “I still love her, I tried as a sister to please her but I realize I gotta please God first cause only he can judge the gift he gave me,” she expressed.

Donald Trump Slammed Online For “Racist” Kamala Harris Nickname

August 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Donald Trump is running for President again, and there is no telling how this is going to go. Overall, Trump was leading in the polls against Joe Biden. However, with Kamala Harris taking over as the nominee, Trump has been slipping into dangerous territory. It would appear as though Harris is now winning in key battleground states. Moreover, she just announced Tim Walz as her VP which is a progressive pick that will appeal to the youth vote.

However, Trump has been looking to attack Kamala as much as possible. One of his points of attack has been her racial identity. While speaking to the National Association of Black Journalists, Trump made the claim that Harris has only recently started identifying as black and that he’s always known her to be Indian. On Truth Social, Trump has been calling her names like “Kambala” and “Kamabla,” which some have taken as a bit of a racist dog whistle.

Donald Trump Continues To Call Out VP Harris

Below, you can see numerous reactions to the name-calling. Detractors of Trump are not amused by it, and they believe that this is going to be offputting to the average voter. Sure, his base is going to love it, but the median voter might find this all to be a bit “weird.” After all, Kamala has never shied away from her background. Only time will tell whether or not this strategy works for Trump.

Twitter Reacts

Do you believe that this will end up working against Donald Trump come election day? Let us know in the comments section down below. Also, how do you feel about Kamala’s choice for Vice President, Tim Walz? Do you think he will help her win in battleground states? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the world. We will continue to keep you informed on current events.

I’m sure this will lock up the racist, um… 6 year old vote?#Kambala pic.twitter.com/eyeZXY3MxJ

“Kamabla”

What a sad, pathetic excuse for a human being. pic.twitter.com/dsmFl3AFC1

— Republicans against Trump (@RpsAgainstTrump) August 6, 2024

Republicans have been begging the GOP nominee to get serious and start focusing since the Dems switched nominees.

But they get “Kambala” instead, because their candidate has the temperament and style of a crude second grader.

Good luck. pic.twitter.com/FIABKwb4R2

Kehlani’s Friend Defends Them Following Baby Daddy’s Sex Cult Accusations

August 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kehlani is the subject of much controversy right now. Their baby daddy Javaughn Young-White accused them of being in a sex cult. Reportedly, he seeks full custody of their daughter according to court documents obtained by TMZ. Young-White thinks she’s at risk of abuse due to the supposed cult’s alleged leader facing various claims of sexual assault. While the origin of these accusations is unclear, fans and friends alike are defending the singer, including one Destin Conrad. The artist took to Twitter to support the Oakland native and theorize as to why people are dragging their name.

“i seen n***as really pull s**t out they a** when they cornered,” Destin Conrad wrote of the Kehlani accusations. “n that’s what scare me about yall. instead of working on yourself u jus desperately fishin for something or someone to make a villain. it’s tired, get help. yall get on here n make think pieces about my friend all day but please don’t ever come for the parenting. n don’t believe S**T you read on the internet. let’s [be] very f***ing real for a second. n***as love to villainize someone when s**t don’t go they way i see.”

Elsewhere, Kehlani’s baby daddy claimed that they lied about their sexuality and their fling. “I understand why she had to gas it up and act like I was a gay sperm donor. to protect herself from the fake lesbian allegations. but ima need yall to stop calling me gay 6 years later again,” he wrote on Twitter. “People implying I’m a gay sperm donor when I’m a whole father is lame as hell. and I’m not gonna sit here and go along with it lol.

“Also being outed as a ‘gay/queer man’ against my consent and getting homophobia thrown at me for years gets me tight. Bro don’t push that on me,” Kehlani’s baby daddy continued. “Mfs sat there and lied on my sexuality to protect whatever lesbian identity was working for them at the time. And I caught all the flack fr it and constantly got told to stfu before I ruin mfs career.”

SZA Reveals She’s Taking A Break From Performing: “Finally Bout To Get My Life Together”

August 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

With SZA being such a global success, she’s going to be hitting stages quite often. According to Uproxx, 2024 has been one of the busy years for the St. Louis, Missouri native. Festivals have been the name of the game for the hitmaker, lending her talents to venues such as Sol Blume, Primavera Sound Barcelona, and the Governors Ball. On top of that, this past weekend, SZA was onstage for Lollapalooza Chicago and Osheaga. With such a torrent run, it looks like the SOS creator is going to give the microphone a rest for a bit. Yesterday evening, she had this to say regarding what’s in store for her after traveling all over the place, “Yesterday was my last show for a while. Finally bout to get my life together thank u God.”

This could mean an absolute host of things. This could be a loose allusion to her current dating life. In a past interview on the Chicken Shop Date, she told the host, Amanda Dimoldenberg, that she can never seem to keep men around. “I feel like I can catch ’em, but I cannot keep ’em. They get with me and they realize I’m f***ing weird, and then it’s just like, ‘Aight’”. More realistically, it could be a reference to her getting some new music out.

SZA Has Some Work To Do

Yesterday was my last show for a while . Finally bout to get my life together thank u God .

— SZA (@sza) August 5, 2024

With Lana still in limbo thanks to leaks, the now full-fleshed project could start to be rolled out here in these ensuing months. If that’s the case, then she has roughly three months or so to get that going. Her website says that her next live performance will be on November 20 at the Al Dana Ampitheatre in Aş Şakhīr, Bahrain. Whatever the scenario is for SZA, we hope she gets whatever she needs to get in order sorted out.

What are your thoughts on SZA claiming to be done with performing for a bit? Do you think she’s going to be focusing on releasing some new music during this break? If yes, what would you want her to drop first? Or is she referring to fixing some things mentally speaking? 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 SZA. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Rihanna Dons Stunning Feathered Costume For Barbados Festival

August 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rihanna and A$AP Rocky didn’t just celebrate their son Riot’s birthday in Barbados, as it seems like they stuck around for even more fun. Moreover, RiRi recently stole the show at her home country’s Crop Over Festival this year on Monday (August 5), donning a jewel-heavy carnival costume with feathered wings and a luxurious crown. As she and her friends (including Ayra Starr) partied on a float for the festivities, they said hi to fans and overall seemed to have a fantastic time. For those unaware, Crop Over is a centuries-old gathering celebrating the end of the harvest in Barbados and is similar to Carnival celebrations in Brazil and Trinidad, for example.

During a May interview, Ayra Starr spoke on meeting the “Diamonds” singer for the first time earlier in 2024. “I was like, ‘Wow! Rihanna!’” she shared. “We got to hang out after the event. Just spending time with my idol, the person that inspired me to do all of this, was the most amazing thing. She gave me so many pointers and advice.” They linked up over some Fenty collaborations, which has been going strong this year.

Rihanna At Crop Over In Barbados

Elsewhere, though, Rihanna also had to deal with some drama concerning allegations referenced in a new Trap Lore Ross video on Jay-Z, with her former publicist Jonathan Hay shedding some light on these claims. “So I was like, ‘F**k Jay-Z,’ since he won’t give us any attention and he’s being disrespectful to Amil, who was a single mother,” he recalled. “I’m going to get his attention and be disrespectful back to Jay-Z, as Rihanna was the best thing on Def Jam by far.

More Clips

“I thought Jay-Z was a dirtbag, so I put out the story that Jay-Z was in a love triangle with Rihanna and Beyoncé,” Hay told AllHipHop. “That caught fire, sparked conversation, increased radio airplay, press coverage and other forms of attention. I was in an unapologetic ‘by any means necessary’ state of mind.” Hay underwent police interrogation as a result of these claims, and Hov and his team forced him to relay a public apology for his efforts.

Keefe D Recalls Years Of Trying To Collect $1 Million From Diddy For Alleged Role In 2Pac Killing

August 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Mike Dorsey, the filmmaker who covered Keefe D for the documentary, Murder Rap, has released audio of the 2Pac murder suspect confessing back in 2008. In the clip, Keefe recalls his alleged difficulty getting a $1 million payment from Diddy in exchange for carrying out the hit, as caught by AllHipHop. At first, he claims he told Eric “Von Zip” Martin to collect the money in the days following the shooting but this was unsuccessful.

“What’s up with the cash?” Keefe D recalled asking Martin four to six weeks later. “[Zip said], ‘[Diddy] ain’t give it to me yet.’ We need money, motherf*cker. They took our guns, all that sh*t. We need some money. They must got millions.”

Keefe D Appears In Court For His Arraignment

Duane “Keefe D” Davis, 60, arrives in a Las Vegas court on October 19, 2023, for his arraignment on murder charges in the death of rapper Tupac Shakur.

Years later, Keefe’s associate, Wynn Prince, allegedly ran into Diddy during a party at Snoop Dogg’s house in Los Angeles. He says the two got to talking and Prince brought up Keefe never getting paid. Diddy gave him a number to call and went on his way. “If I would’ve seen his ass, ‘Gimme the jewelry and everything,’ you know?” Keefe said. “Stupid motherf*cker. I said, ‘You let him give you a number?’ That was so stupid! Why you didn’t get the jewelry?” When he called, there was no response. “[Diddy] ain’t answer,” Keefe claimed. “That man got about 50 phones. He can throw that sh*t away. He gets phones easy.”

Keefe D’s 2008 Police Interview Resurfaces

Once again, Keefe says he saw Diddy at his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony, but there were too many police around to do anything. “When he got that Walk of Fame motherf*cker, I was right there!” Keefe D said. “But there was too many [police] around there.” Diddy has vehemently denied any role in the killing of 2Pac for years and has never faced any criminal charges, indictments, or convictions with regard to the incident. Police arrested Keefe for the crime back in 2023, 25 years after the legendary rapper’s death. Be on the lookout for further updates on Keefe D and 2Pac’s murder trial on HotNewHipHop.

Mustard Trolled Mercilessly Online For Previously Wanting A Drake Feature

August 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Prior to this whole Drake and Kendrick Lamar debacle, Mustard (formerly DJ Mustard) and Drake were on good terms. While they did not have the most rapport in terms of making music together, they did assist YG with “Who Do You Love?” back in 2014. Perhaps this started the producer’s respect for The Boy because about five years later, Mustard was doing all he could to get him on his 2019 LP, Perfect Ten. Specifically, he wanted him for the track “100 Bands” which went onto to feature Quavo, YG, and Meek Mill. However, things obviously never came to fruition and that was even with a lot of phone calls.

Mustard was asked about this during an interview with New York’s Power 105.1 and revealed that he wasn’t even ignoring him. “Nah, he didn’t ignore me… he didn’t take the call. I called a lot of times. I seen him a couple of times and he was like ‘Send me something’”. So, why are mentioning this to you? Well, with Mustard seemingly at odds with Drake now, the latter’s fans are resurfacing this old interview and claiming that this is when the producer began to have hate for the MC.

Drake Fans Are Having A Field Day With Mustard

“They all need that Drake stimulus package”, one user on X trolls. Another makes funny callback to a Kendrick lyric on “Not Like Us”, “He a fan, he a fan, he a fan, he a fan…….”. You could argue this started the side beef between these two. However, you also have to look at Mustard producing “Not Like Us” and Drake following the beat maker’s ex-wife Chanel Thierry on social media as possible root causes as well.

What are your thoughts on Mustard wanting to get Drake on a song in the past? Do you think this is the reason that the producer has some hatred for the Canadian MC? How do you think Drake would have sounded on “100 Bands”? 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 Drake and Mustard. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.
