Blueface’s Mom Karlissa Saffold Explains Sexyy Red Beef

April 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Blueface’s mother Karlissa Saffold isn’t the biggest Sexyy Red fan in the world. Towards the end of last year, she called the St. Louis MC “Stanky Red” and said that she was “barely cute,” which clearly did not slow down her momentum at all. Things even escalated again recently, but as Saffold usually does, she took to her Instagram Live from the comfort of a jacuzzi to explain any issues that there could be between them. For one, she suggested that they don’t actually have any issues with one another, and that this is all just the result of Internet humor and easy misconceptions.

“I am not beefing with Sexyy Red,” Karlissa Saffold began her IG Live clip following their exposed DM exchange. “Didn’t she say I said sorry to her? That was in December. So I guess, you know, time’s getting a little hard. But that was in December. I apologized to her, so how am I beefing with her if I apologized to her? Shut the f**k up. I’m trying to help you out, and you over here talking about somebody else that already got more contracts than me and you.

“Thank you Sexyy for posting my page,” Blueface’s mom continued about Sexyy Red. “They want you to post theirs too, so they over here trying to be haters like they did with Chrisean Rock, all mad as f**k and s**t. That’s why we ain’t gon’ help y’all ’cause y’all h*es f***ing mad. I ain’t gon’ never forget you instigating h*es either. You weirdos. Y’all want that baby to be so disrespectful to the mama instead of wanting her to help me. Now you f***ing mad. All these babies is mine, I’m the mama. Me and Mr. Saffold, he in one room, and I’m in another. We just trying to be cordial, but that ain’t gon’ take away from my hot old b***h summer. You shouldn’t have f***ed her before summer got here, so it is what it is.

“I’m about to be in GloRilla’s video, I’m about to be in Sexyy Red’s video, I’m about to be in Diamond’s video, Rollie’s video, and Kaliii’s video,” she went on. “You might as well call me an old bad b***h all summer long. I’m about to get me a real jacuzzi so y’all can stop hating on my fake jacuzzi. Yes, honey, so make sure y’all go and tell GloRilla and Megan, my daughter-in-law, and Sexyy Red that it’s about to be an old b***h summer. We don’t need Caresha and them. *laughs* We don’t need none of them pissy problems.” For more news and updates on Karlissa Saffold and Sexyy Red, come back to HNHH.

April 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DMX and Mary J Blige are the subjects of a new mural in Yonkers, New York at Palisade Towers. The mural, titled “Together,” comes in at 78-foot wide by 18-foot-high. Mayor Mike Spano, Yonkers Housing Authority (YHA) CEO Wilson Kimball, Yonkers Arts Executive Director Ray Wilcox, and Artist Robin Alcantara were all on site to unveil it on Thursday.

“It is always a proud day when we can highlight the accomplishments of our city’s residents,” Mayor Spano said. “The talents and accomplishments of these local heroes is an inspiration to us all and a reminder that even those who come from humble beginnings can achieve great things.” Spano previously unveiled another DMX mural back in 2021.

Wilcox explained that the mural, which depicts a rose growing from concrete, was inspired by a poem from 2Pac. Kimball added that the mural will both inspire local residents and bring beauty to an urban area. “When we are surrounded by beauty we are inspired to do our best, and be our best,” she said. “This mural by Robin Alcantara celebrates African American culture and artists who were able to overcome their surroundings and rise to greater things.” Alcantara, the artist, said: “Being able to paint these walls in Yonkers is a dream come true and I am grateful to be able to work with you to bring murals to the city.” Check out a video from the unveiling below.

Nelly Shows Love To Ashanti Amid Pregnancy

April 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Nelly showed love to his fiance, Ashanti, on Instagram earlier this week amid her ongoing pregnancy. The couple, who rekindled their romance in 2023 after a decade apart, are expecting their first child together. “Of course not beautiful I’m fine..!! Luv U2,” Nelly captioned a photo of himself and Ashanti.

When The Shade Room shared the post on Instagram, fans took to the comments section to theorize exactly what he meant. “She definitely asked if she’s too heavy that’s why he said what he said,” one fan wrote. Another wrote: “She’s asking him if she’s too heavy and daring him to say yes. He is STRESSED.”

Ashanti first announced that she was expecting and that she and Nelly are engaged during an interview with ESSENCE, earlier this month. “This new year of my life is such a blessing full of love, hope, and anticipation,” she told the outlet. “Motherhood is something that I have looked forward to, and sharing this with my family, fiancé, and loyal fans, who have been so supportive of my career, is an amazing experience.” Check out the new post on Instagram below.

Nelly and Ashanti first dated back in 2003, before spending the next 10 years together. They first met back up after meeting up during a Verzuz event between Fat Joe and Ja Rule. Speaking with Kirk and Rasheeda Frost last fall, Nelly admitted that it came as a surprise. “I think it surprised both of us, though. It wasn’t anything that …[was] planned,” he said. “I think we’re both pretty much doing what we do.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Nelly and Ashanti’s relationship on HotNewHipHop.

Ryan Garcia Drops Devin Haney Diss Track After Beating Him… For Some Reason

April 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

So… is the wait for the Kendrick Lamar response to Drake’s diss tracks really that bad? Well, whether it is or isn’t, there’s a recent boxing victor who chose to capitalize on the moment, celebrate his win, and maybe build a back-up career path in the process. Moreover, fans found it funny that, before K.Dot clapped back at Drizzy, Ryan Garcia dropped a diss track on social media against Devin Haney, whom he recently beat in a boxing match that didn’t count for a title due to Garcia not making weight beforehand. It’s exactly what you expect: a generic trap beat, boasting about the dub, making jokes about Haney’s loss, and admittedly less cringe than what it sounds like.

Furthermore, Ryan Garcia is really feeling himself following this win, and is chirping and chiming into a lot of stuff to prove not just his dominance and relevance, but his will to take things to the next level. To explain this, we have to bring up another boxing beef: Floyd Mayweather versus Gervonta Davis. For those unaware, the former friends have turned sour over the years and are currently throwing shots at each other on social media. Garcia joined the battle by making some wild claims about Davis and Mayweather’s daughter Yaya, which surely can’t be fun for most to hear.

Ryan Garcia Disses Devin Haney On Wax

However, for those of you thinking that this only relates to boxing, this actually isn’t Ryan Garcia’s first crossover with hip-hop -– far from it, in fact. For example, he dissed 21 Savage for walking Devin Haney out, which is kind of ironic considering that Garcia wanted Kanye West to walk him out for this fight. Imagine if Haney then dissed Ye for walking the loser out… That would’ve been a whole new beef in and of itself.

Meanwhile, it’s clear that a lot of Garcia’s antics are just self-admitted trolling, but tactics that he knows how to use relatively well. After all, few competitive tactics are as easy to use, but difficult to master as getting in your opponent’s head. We’ll see if this diss track method proves useful or fruitful for the potential rematch. For more news and updates on Ryan Garcia and Devin Haney, stay up to date on HNHH.

50 Cent Keeps Trolling Floyd Mayweather Amid Gervonta Davis Beef

April 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent hopped back into the Floyd Mayweather and Gervonta Davis beef, and although he seemingly deleted his posts on the matter, ink dries in milliseconds in the social media age. Moreover, he had previously seemed to legitimately express concern over Davis’ claim that Mayweather was being held in Dubai for owing the wrong people money. Now, it seems like the G-Unit mogul is ready to see a battle between these two after the former threatened to knock the latter out amid their tensions. “Ahh Champ [Gervonta] gonna f**k you up champ, I think you should only text him. Tank sharp right now might knock you right the f**k out!” he captioned an Instagram repost of Davis’ threat.

Furthermore, for those unaware, Floyd Mayweather and Gervonta Davis are the subject of 50 Cent’s fascination right now due to a spat that broke out between them over social media. This resulted from comments that the former made about other boxers faking the lavish lifestyle they aim to live and not really having things in order nor understanding the sacrifices to get to that point. Davis thought that his former mentor aimed some of these comments at him, and then made the Dubai claims. Not only do they have a history together of friends turned enemies, but so do Mayweather and Fif.

50 Cent’s Latest Troll Of Frenemy Floyd Mayweather Versus Gervonta Davis

Then, the conflict kept escalating online with pot shots from one to the other. Since many of these tweets and posts from Floyd Mayweather, Gervonta Davis, and 50 Cent have been deleted, it’s unclear where things stand now. Maybe they were able to reach some sort of agreement behind closed doors or coincidentally agreed that it wasn’t worth keeping that negativity online. For now, it’s a hard call to make.

Meanwhile, even other boxers like Ryan Garcia chose to jump into this feud, so who knows what could happen next? All we know is that there’s a lot of history here, and this might not be something that a fight or a sit-down conversation could resolve. Hopefully they keep looking for that solution, or at least find humor and no serious animosity in some Internet trolling. On that note, stay posted on HNHH for more news and the latest updates on 50 Cent, Floyd Mayweather, and Gervonta Davis.

Tank Dell Wounded In Nightclub Mass Shooting

April 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Tank Dell suffered a “minor wound” during a shooting in Sanford, Florida at Cabana Live early Sunday morning. The Houston Texans confirmed later in the day that the star wide receiver was shot by a teenage gunman who opened fire after an altercation. The shooter wounded 10 people during the incident. Dell made it out okay and has since left the hospital and is traveling back to Houston.

“[Dell] has been released from the hospital and he is in good spirits,” the Texans said in a statement on social media. “We are in contact with him and his family and will provide more updates when appropriate but ask that you please respect his privacy at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone involved in the incident.” No one in the shooting sustained life-threatening injuries.

Tank Dell Celebrates Touchdown With Fans

ESPN reports that witnesses say someone pulled out a handgun and began firing toward a crowd of people after a fistfight broke out. A nearby security guard lunged at the shooter and disarmed him. Police have reportedly arrested a 16-year-old suspect whom they’ve taken to a juvenile detention center. They’re charging him with attempted homicide, firing a weapon in a public place, using a firearm during a felony, and illegal possession of a firearm by a minor.

Metro Boomin Trolled By Drake Fans At Recent Concert: “I Heard That!”

April 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A fan of Drake trolled Metro Boomin by shouting some of the lyrics to the Toronto rapper’s diss track,
“Push Ups,” at one of the producer’s recent concerts. In a clip circulating on social media, an attendee to the show shouts out, “Metro, shut your ho ass up and play some drums.” In response, Metro remarks, “I heard that,” prompting celebration from the fan.

When Kurrco shared the clip on Twitter, many users found the move to be corny. “Goes from hating to celebrating like a child,” one fan wrote. Another added: “Grown man was jumping up and down and giggling after shouting.” Others praised Metro for having some fun with the moment.

Metro started feuding with Drake by releasing the track, “Like That,” on which Kendrick Lamar targets his former collaborator. Additionally, he platformed several artists who used their verses to diss Drake on his recent collaborations with Future, We Don’t Trust You, and We Still Don’t Trust You. They include The Weeknd, ASAP Rocky, and more. Drake responded with “Push Ups,” earlier this month, and followed that up with the A.I.-assisted “Taylor Made Freestyle.” Kendrick Lamar has still yet to fire back in their ongoing feud. Check out the fan’s attempt to troll Metro Boomin below.

Metro Boomin and Future will be embarking on a joint tour over the summer in celebration of their recent albums. After they announced the move, Drake’s fans trolled them on social media for selling significantly fewer tickets than the It’s All A Blur tour.

PARTYNEXTDOOR Is “4” The Fans On Our New “R&B Season” Playlist Update: Stream

April 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

HNHH‘s R&B Season playlist is back to round up the best releases from the various styles adjacent to the genre that came out this week, and there’s a big one to speak on right away. Moreover, PARTYNEXTDOOR finally delivered on all the hype and dropped his long-awaited fourth studio album PARTYNEXTDOOR 4 (P4). Not only does the Toronto artist deliver plenty of his trademark style on this full-length, but he also taps into sounds that he’s not immediately associated with, such as the breezy African-inspired rhythms on “F o r C e r t a i n.” If you want that classic PND sound, though, look no further than cuts like “N o C h i l l,” and you’ll be right back in that zone again.

Elsewhere on R&B Season, we have another sultry and minimal single from Normani titled “1:59,” and it features none other than Gunna for a pretty interesting crossover. Through some simple guitar licks, building vocal harmonies, stark percussion, and atmospheric effects, it’s able to keep things woozy while still having a solid melodic center. As for the College Park MC, his voice actually goes even harder than his collaborator on this cut when it comes to the passion and the strain in his voice. It’s a nice zone to see him in, especially for those looking for him to at least try to switch it up.

HNHH R&B Season Playlist: Stream

However, if you’re looking for more of that Afro-soul sound, there’s another highlight on R&B Season this week. Tems came through with an interpolation of Seyi Sodimu’s 1997 classic “Love Me JeJe,” which is as wondrous and welcoming as it is loosely chilled-out. Across much of the Nigerian singer’s catalog, a lot of her strengths owe themselves to her strong vocal chops, charismatic performances, and her ability to build out a tune. Needless to say, these are all elements that keep on giving.

Finally, we wanted to shout out the tender, bubbly, and crisp collab between Chenayder and MAVI, “Colors.” This is easily among the jazziest and most head-bobbing picks this week thanks to a warm vocal performance from the former and a killer verse from the latter. Let us know what your favorite R&B Season cut was this week, as well as what else we missed, down in the comments below. Check out the playlist above and, as always, log back into HNHH for more amazing music drops around the clock.

Rico Wade Had Reflected On Dungeon Family Bonds Weeks Before Passing: Details

April 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Many members of the Dungeon Family reunited in Atlanta on Friday (April 26) for a private memorial due to the loss of one of its pillars: Rico Wade. Moreover, his mother’s basement was the “dungeon” that Outkast, Killer Mike, Future, and many more called their home, whether literally or figuratively. While the Organized Noize producer was not the most famous person in the world, his final public remarks, particularly ones from an AllHipHop interview about his Dungeon Family partners, have taken on a more meaningful, saddening, but still beautiful luster after his passing. They went through a lot of bumps as folks in the industry, and even through his health struggles and alcoholism, they always came back together to let their love, support, and gratitude be crystal clear.

“I just had heart surgery, where they had to put a stent in my chest,” Rico Wade told the publication in an interview from the day after he went to an André 3000 concert. “This happened January 19 and I just felt like, ‘Man, I would have missed it [the concert].’ God didn’t want my life. He wanted my attention and he got it. It’s been blessings on blessings on blessings since then. Since that moment, I’ve been blessed in every way. It’s hard to not cry every time I think about it.

Rico Wade, Killer Mike & Big Boi In Atlanta

“They all love and respect me,” Rico Wade remarked about the support he got from the Dungeon Family amid his health scare. “They all look at me as a person that did it for them, especially after what I just went through. I’ve spoken to every last one of them, and it’s been like, ‘I want to hug you and I want to let you know how important you are to us. I’m glad you’re still here.’ I hate for it to take a life-altering situation, but even Future, that’s my cousin, he’s been so busy. But if I text him now, he texts me right back. I seen André last night at the show, and I was in the studio the other day seeing [Big] Boi. Everybody can see that I’m clear and clean. They can see that I ain’t drinking and they can see my energy…

“What’s crazy about that is that Killer Mike is one of the most articulate, intelligent people I know,” he said of Mike’s Grammy wins and his brief arrest at the ceremony. “So sometimes -– not purposely ’cause I wouldn’t say it was a conspiracy. But they were waiting for him or whatever, like, because of something that happened at the Staples Center or whatever. Since then, the city has been so supportive. Other news outlets have been so supportive of giving him that platform to let him speak because not only did he sweep the Grammys, his album is really good. The song with André and Future won Song of the Year. So it’s like, I’m happy that I’m here.” For more news and updates on the Dungeon Family and its fallen legend, check back in with HNHH.
Rest In Peace Rico Wade.

Bankroll Freddie Found Guilty On Drug & Weapons Charges

April 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

According to an AllHipHop report, a court found Bankroll Freddie guilty of multiple charges related to a massive federal gun and drug bust in Arkansas. Moreover, these charges include possession and distribution of marijuana, along with other controlled substances, plus multiple counts of drug possession with intent to distribute and crimes relating to weapons possession. However, he also reportedly evaded several serious charges with this verdict, although it’s unclear at press time what specific charges he was acquitted for. Furthermore, this legal saga formed part of a wider initiative in the state to strictly and firmly combat gun and drug proliferation.

This crackdown eventually caught up to Bankroll Freddie back in 2022, and comprises a much more large-scale indictment and investigation concerning drug and weapons trafficking in Arkansas. In terms of how the charges connect, the FBI reported that gun distribution and possession played a role in advancing the primary drug trade that the indicted individuals worked in. In fact, this litigation accused two specific gangs, the Every Body Killas and the Loady Murder Mobb, of being at the center of narcotics activity in the state. Still, it’s unclear how deep the rapper’s guilty verdict ties him into the other aspects of this case, particularly these groups.

Bankroll Freddie Backstage At Rich Homie Quan Concert

Not only that, but Bankroll Freddie’s link to illegal drug and gun activity in his state is, according to the FBI, a family matter. The Arkansas MC, real name Freddie Gladney III, apparently involved himself in this scheme through his father Freddie Gladney Jr. and through a few siblings, as well. Their evidence is alleged wire-tapped audio that details the drug dealing plot and how Gladney Jr. supposedly gave his children different roles to fulfill. However, this is all hard to scrutinize given the little information readily available on the case for the average user who will come across this case online.

Meanwhile, what do you think of all this? Will the “Water” spitter be able to come back one day and continue his career or is this the tail end of a tragic tale? However you may feel, let us know what you think down in the comments section below. For more news and updates on Bankroll Freddie, stick around on HNHH.
