Diddy Loses Charter School Partnership Amid Fallout From Sexual Abuse Lawsuits

November 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s partnership with Capital Preparatory Harlem Charter School has come to an end following the three sexual assault lawsuits filed against him, earlier this month. Dr. Steve Perry, the founder and head of the school, made an official announcement on the school’s website, on Tuesday. The Shade Room shared the statement on Instagram.

Perry wrote: “Following a comprehensive evaluation, a decision has been made to end the partnership between Capital Preparatory Schools and Sean Combs. While this decision was not made lightly, we firmly believe it is in the best interest of our organization’s health and future.” Diddy helped launch the school back in 2016 and made a $1 million donation towards funding the school’s Bronx location in 2021.

The lawsuits against Diddy began with Cassie, who alleged sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. The two reached a settlement just 24 hours after the singer filed in court. In the days afterward, two other victims came forward with similar accusations against the Bad Boy mogul.

A spokesperson denied both allegations in a statement: “These are fabricated claims falsely alleging misconduct from over 30 years ago and filed at the last minute. This is nothing but a money grab. Because of Mr. Combs’ fame and success, he is an easy target for anonymous accusers who lie without conscience or consequence for financial benefit.” The lawsuits all arrived just before New York’s Adult Survivors Act, which extends the statute of limitations, expired last Thursday. The statement added that “scammers” are “exploiting” the Adult Survivors Act: “The public should be skeptical and not rush to accept these bogus allegations.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Diddy and the fallout from his ongoing lawsuits on HotNewHipHop.

Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS Partners With Swarovski For Exclusive, Shiny Collection

November 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS brand continues to grow, expand, and establish itself as a leading voice in fashion. Moreover, the company’s latest collab is with none other than Swarovski, melding together their shape-wear with the jewels that their partner is so well-known for. If you’re interested in copping a piece or two, it goes live on November 7 at 9AM EST on the SKIMS website and in select Swarovski stores. In an Instagram post, the reality TV star and socialite shared some words on this latest venture. “a first of its kind collaboration that fuses @Swarovski’s iconic glamour with @SKIMS innovative silhouettes, resulting in a unique crystallized collection,” she wrote.

Furthermore, this comes just days after SKIMS’ announced partnership with the NBA, which is not the end of Kim Kardashian’s fashion empire. In fact, she recently expressed a desire to also assume ownership of her ex-husband Kanye West’s Yeezy brand one day. But that’s irrelevant right now; what matters is that the 43-year-old is very proud of this particular Swarovski collab. “I feel like it really embodies who I am, in being really simplistic, but then I have this full glitzy feminine side,” she told The New York Times about the team-up.

Of course, that aforementioned gossip about Kim Kardashian’s family and relationship life tends to unfairly overshadow these business moves, at least when it comes to news headlines. While that’s an understandable phenomenon, it’s also a great way to market brand moves these days. For example, this Swarovski collaboration comes amid comments about Ye’s humble lifestyle that premiered on The Kardashian‘s recently. Well, humble in the comparative sense, because we all know there’s no way that word could ever describe the Chicago rapper accurately.

Regardless of all that, it’s very clear that SKIMS is by no means suffering as a result. After all, it’s all tied to Kim’s name at the end of the day, and that alone is bound to nab some attention. It helps that the clothing brand is emerging with its own shadow outside of that, something that the money proves is much larger than any one person.

September 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It’s been a minute since Rick Ross and Meek Mill connected on wax but finally, the two joined forces on “Shaq & Kobe.” The new collaborative single from Rozay and Meek marks their first in years and comes after rumors of the two beefing with each other. Fortunately, they’ve made amends and are back to cooking up new music together. It seems as though “Shaq & Kobe” isn’t the only record the two have the stash, though.

According to a press release, Rick Ross and Meek Mill will be joining forces for a joint project. Rozay announced a new partnership with gamma., a social media platform driven by artists and creatives co-founded by Larry Jackson. Given that Rick Ross has left Atlantic Records, he’s embarked on a journey as an independent artist. His new partnership with gamma. will see him spearhead a number of projects with the first being his joint project with Meek Mill.

Rick Ross & Meek Mill’s Joint Project

In a statement, Jackson explained that Rick Ross is the perfect candidate to help amplify gamme. “We couldn’t be happier to formalize our relationship, welcome him to the gamma. family, and propel the trajectory of an already well-established empire. We’re beyond excited for the world to experience his highly anticipated collab reunion album with Meek,” Jackson stated.

Coi Leray Confuses Fans With Picture With NBA Trophy

May 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Coi Leray is hard at work promoting and gearing up for her next album COI, but her latest post left many basketball fans confused. Moreover, she posed with an NBA trophy ahead of the Finals, which begin on June 1 pitting the Denver Nuggets against whoever wins between the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat (the series is currently 3-2 in the Heat’s favor). “Winnnnnerrrrr @nba x (CL),” she captioned her post with a bizarre set of hashtags. “#TeamCeltics #TeamLebron #WNBAForever.” Given that LeBron and the Los Angeles Lakers lost against the Nuggets, many are urging the rap star to catch up with the news.

Jokes aside, she clearly just wants to show her love and support to a legend despite the disappointing loss. Also, as a Boston native herself, it’s no surprise that Coi Leray’s rooting for her team to make a massive comeback, which is already halfway done. If the Celtics reverse a 3-0 deficit against the Heat, it would be a monumental moment. Still, the series is far from over yet, and the comments filled up with many skeptics of the Massachusetts team’s chances of winning.

Coi Leray Poses With NBA Trophy

However, this isn’t the only big hunk of metal that the 26-year-old posed with recently. While performing at Revolution Saturdays at REBEL in Toronto, she brought our a platinum plaque for her single “Players.” The song, which flips the classic hip-hop track “The Message” by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, became one of her biggest tracks ever. With other sample-heavy tunes like “Bops” and “Make My Day,” it seems like Coi Leray found a solid recipe for success that fits her style. Despite the confusion that this brought about, the trophy makes one thing clear: right now, no matter the hate, she’s winning.

Still, another post of hers also left fans with a head-scratcher, which was when she revealed the tracklist and features for her upcoming album. Not only are David Guetta and Saucy Santana in the mix, but also Lola Brooke, Skillibeng, Giggs, and the one and only James Brown. Sure, there are some prominent rap names in there, but others have fans wondering what this project will sound like. We’ll have to wait and see how the hitmaker capitalizes on her hype. For more news and the latest updates on Coi Leray, stay posted on HNHH.

50 Cent Ridicules Ja Rule, Vows To Lift Curse He Placed On Timberwolves

March 30, 2023 by newhiphopnews

When Ja Rule performed at a Minnesota Timberwolves halftime show in 2019, he had no idea that his rival 50 Cent would hold it against him four years later. Moreover, the Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ MC recently uploaded a video celebrating his recent partnership with the Minnesota Timberwolves. In it, he visits their office spaces, talks with executives, and displays his excitement for his spirits collaboration. However, he also took a moment to address that Ja Rule performance in Milwaukee against the Bucks. If there’s anything history taught us between these two, it’s that Fif always finds a way to dunk on Ja- and vice versa, at least in attempt.

“We had a curse!” 50 Cent told the franchise’s staff. “Somebody f***ed up, and they let Ja Rule perform at halftime. Now, what we’re gonna do is take the curse off!” Then, a clip of Rule addressing an unenthused crowd played on one of the staff member’s screens (it was edited in). “Skip, this might be worse than Fyre Festival,” Shannon Sharpe remarks to his partner Bayless about the Murder Inc. rapper’s infamous failed festival.

Furthermore, readers may remember the halftime show in question, for which Ja got immediately clowned online. What’s more is that the curse that 50 referred to isn’t just the “curse” of a laughable performance or comical moment. In fact, the fellow Queens rapper and G-Unit’s longtime opponent cursed the team while responding to a fan on Twitter. With that, it seemed almost too perfect for 50 to swoop in one day and, if the Timberwolves get amazing from here on out, it would be a massive flex on his sworn enemy.

“You just jinx yourself talking to the GOD this way…” Ja Rule wrote to a critical Minnesota fan. “Your CURSED NOW!!! You won’t win a championship for the next 30 years… AND KAT IS LEAVING!!! Apologise and I’ll lift the CURSE!!! Kiss of death…” Now the stakes are even higher in 50 Cent’s beef with the “Always On Time” MC: there’s a championship at stake. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Ja Rule, 50 Cent, and their legendary beef.
