Rihanna previously discussed her feelings on being a boy mom during an interview with E! News at a Fenty Beauty event in April. “It makes me feel really cool to be a boy mom,” she said at the time. “Like I get to be as casual and busted as I want to, but it also forces me to embrace the epic things about being a woman, and a female and all my femininity. I embrace it so much more now, like I wear pink. I go between wearing jerseys and like, ‘I’m wearing a dress today! I’m the only one in this house who can do that right now.’”

Mustard Goes At It With Fans Over “Faith Of A Mustard Seed” Album Sales

August 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Mustard has been going at it with fans on social media in the wake of the news that his latest album, Faith of a Mustard Seed only moved 18,000 copies in its first week of availability. Initially, he remarked that album sales “are a form of white supremacy,” which prompted the trolling from fans on X (formerly Twitter). From there, he went on to label Drake the “Malcolm X of white people.” He famously produced Kendrick Lamar’s hit diss track, “Not Like Us.”

“Album sales are a form of white supremacy you n****s racist,” Mustard wrote in one post. He followed up by responding to the Drake fans trolling him for the lack of sales. “Drake is the Malcolm X of white people [laughing emoji] and Akademiks make sure you post Gordo’s first week since Drake thought he did a thing with making him drop on the same day as me,” he wrote.

One user shared a post from Mustard dating back to 2019 in which he celebrated how many albums he sold with one of his releases. “Now it’s racism, should’ve got carti up there again maybe you would’ve moved some units,” they wrote. Another similarly remarked: “It’s only racist when your album flops. If your album sold well, you’d be flexing your sales.”

Mustard Goes Back & Forth With Fans

Some users did come to Mustard’s defense. One fan replied: “I hate how people use album sales as a metric to grade how good and powerful the music is. If you changed one persons life while they listened to any of the tracks you already won man!” Check out more posts on X below. Be on the lookout for further updates on Mustard on HotNewHipHop.

No album sales represent if your audience / the marketplace actually like what you produce.

Clearly they don’t like you.

Stop playing the race card.

50 Cent Wins $1 Billion “Power” Lawsuit From Former Drug Kingpin

August 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent has won the $1 billion lawsuit brought by a former drug kingpin over his hit series, Power, according to AllHipHop. Cory “Ghost” Holland alleged that 50 stole his life story for the plot of the STARZ show. He first filed the billion-dollar lawsuit back in 2021, naming co-creator Courtney Kemp, STARZ, and Lionsgate, in addition to 50 Cent. Holland argued that he detailed his life story in a 2007 CD titled Blasphemy, which he sent to Kemp’s father. He had hoped it would help him find a way to legitimately earn a living and get out of the drug trade.

Judge Analisa Torres ended up siding with 50 and ruled that the show never directly refers to Holland, as required for a defamation claim. She also said other similarities boil down to mere coincidences. In another lawsuit, Holland further accused 50 Cent and his associates of harassing and threatening him by showing up and playing a song near his home.

50 Cent Speaks During “Power Book II: Ghost” Season 4 Premiere

After the alleged incident, AllHipHop obtained a letter from Holland warning 50 not to threaten him again. It reads: “If a motherf**ker gets killed because your motherf**king client threaten me and my family, file a motherf**king motion for that. I ain’t playing with your motherf**king client no more, next time he or anyone he sends pull up, f**k the litigation.”

Holland ended up losing that case as well with Torres ruling: “There is no indication that this conduct constituted a threat, much less an ‘imminent threat of harmful contact’ as required for an assault claim.” Be on the lookout for further updates on 50 Cent and his other legal trouble on HotNewHipHop.

Fans online have been complaining that the exhibit didn’t feature older artists such as Lil Kim, Missy Elliott, and more. One of the many voices to speak out was Summer Walker. She did so in the comments section of a post from The Shade Room. “I don’t even listen to hella Nicki cause I’m a r&b lover.
