January 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Celebrity babies are coming in numbers lately, with droves of our favourite artists and actors expanding their families regularly. One of the most recent pregnancy announcements to come from Hollywood was during Keke Palmer’s hosting stint on Saturday Night Live. Last month, she confirmed to the world that she and her boyfriend, Darius Jackson, are expecting their first child together.

Spilling the tea on late-night television seems to be a favourite activity for the Disney Channel alum. After unveiling her bump to the SNL audience, Palmer joined Jimmy Fallon on his talk show last week. During their chat, the 29-year-old casually let it slip that she’s expecting a boy.

Over the weekend, fans’ excitement has only grown stronger as the expecting mother shared adorable photos from her fairytale-themed baby shower on social media. “‘A long time ago, in a land not so far… The King and Queen got together to play,’” she wrote in the caption of her photo dump late on Saturday (January 28) night.

“‘The play turned to love as many sunsets passed by. Now there’s a prince, who’s soon to arrive!’” her sweet poem ends. In the accompanying pictures, Palmer looks as glamorous as ever in a ribbed brown dress as she hugs her bump.

The first three images are solo snapshots of mama in her third trimester. In the last few photos, Jackson joins his partner in a coordinated brown outfit.

In the comment section, countless celebrity friends are sending kind wishes to the Hustlers star in this exciting time. “The absolute prettiest,” SZA wrote. Casse, Chloe Bailey, Stefflon Don, and La La Anthony also had compliments to give.

As blog posts surfacing online point out, the event wasn’t anything short of lit. Palmer’s due date is quickly approaching. Still, she didn’t hesitate to drop it low and keep the crowd laughing with her usual comedic antics.

Before they celebrated their baby boy at his shower this weekend, Palmer made sure to show some love to Jackson on his birthday earlier this month. For the most part, they’ve kept their romance low-key, but as her due date approaches, the actress has been sharing more of their love with the world.

Megan Thee Stallion’s Injured Foot Shown In New Graphic Photos

January 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

TMZ has published new photos showing the damage done to Megan Thee Stallion’s foot during the night Tory Lanez shot her. The graphic photos were presented as exhibits in the trial for the Toronto rapper. Other photos show the bloody SUV from the scene of the crime.

In photos of the vehicle, a blood-stained suitcase as well as the pistol Lanez used to shoot Megan are visible. There are also X-rays of Megan’s foot from when she was hospitalized.

As for the injuries to Megan’s foot, Dr. Lee Haruno, chief resident in Cedars-Sinai Medical Center’s orthopedic surgery department, testified as to their extent during the trial.

“When foreign bodies are that small, it often causes more harm to try to remove them,” Haruno told the court, adding that small fragments still remain in Megan’s feet today.

The jury found Lanez guilty of carrying a loaded and unregistered firearm in a vehicle, assault with a semiautomatic handgun, and discharging a firearm with gross negligence. The rapper intends to appeal to ruling and has hired Suge Knight’s former lawyer, David Kenner, to help him do so.

Despite the ruling, many in the hip-hop community have continued to back Tory Lanez. Soulja Boy took issue with this during a Livestream on Instagram, earlier this week.

“Yall n****s out here shooting bitches and ain’t nobody gone say nothing? I’m the only n***a in the whole rap game that’s gonna say something? Ok, cool,” he said online.

Lanez is currently facing up to 22 years behind bars. His sentencing is scheduled for January 27.

50 Cent and STARZ Teaming for Multiple Spinoff ‘BMF’ Series

January 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent is ready to expand his BMF series with multiple spinoffs. Speaking at the premiere for season 2 of the hit show, 50 tells Deadline about the transition in leadership at Starz and how excited he is about it.

“They got some really, really smart executives coming in to help rebuild Starz in the right way. And it’s exciting for me,” 50 said. “You’ll get a chance to see three spinoff shows from ‘BMF.’ It’s ‘BMF’ immortal.”

The expanded BMF series is currently in development, and the titles and details about the spinoffs will be announced later. Last month, Jackson and Starz announced the creation of Fightland, a new series based in the high-stakes, cash-rich, violent world of British boxing.

STARZ changed Hollywood Boulevard last week in anticipation of the highly anticipated new season of the Detroit-based family drama BMF, which premiered Friday (Jan. 6).

There was no shortage of star power in attendance at the legendary TCL Chinese Theater, with Executive Producers Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Heather Zuhlke, Anthony Wilson, and Anne Clements, as well as “BMF” cast members Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory Jr., Da’Vinchi, Michole Briana White, Myles Truitt, Steve Harris, Kelly Hu, La La Anthony, Arkeisha “Kash Doll” Knight, Christine Horn, Sydney Mitchell, Rayan Lawrence, Serayah, Caresha “Yung Miami” Brownlee, and Laila Pruitt are among those who have appeared on the show.

Power stars Joseph Sikora, Michael Rainey, Isaac Keys, and Kris Lofton, as well as celebrity attendees Kelly Rowland, 2 Chainz, G Herbo, Cordae, D Smoke, Hit-Boy, Mario, Omarion, Tee Grizzly, YK Osiris, Lance Gross, Eric Bellinger, ORyan, and others, expressed their support.

Season two of BMF explores the unexpected journey to success of the Flenory brothers, Demetrius Flenory “Big Meech” and Terry Flenory “Southwest Tee,” who ascended from the depths of poverty to become game changers in hip-hop and culture while navigating Detroit’s drug war. Throughout the emotional season, the audience cheers on the Flenory brothers as they work to achieve the American Dream in a system that is stacked against them. Family, faith, and loyalty are universal topics that are explored both at home and on the streets. The brothers work together to outwit the government and grow BMF into a multi-state empire.

Photo Recap: Janet Jackson Honored at #BeBold Dinner During Essence fest

July 11, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Last week, Essence announced Janet Jackson made history as her performance was the highest-grossing night in the history of the festival. Jackson was also celebrated by her friends and peers at the #BeBold Dinner, an intimate and lavish event at the For Seasons New Orleans.

The Be Bold Series honors Women of Color who have pioneered and led the culture in a BOLD and unapologetic way. It is sponsored by Coca-Cola and powered by AT&T. Janet was showered with love throughout the evening as personal tales were shared by Reverend Al Sharpton, MC Lyte, Sheryl Lee Ralph, and Yvette Nicole Brown in honor of her 50-year career and legacy as a global icon and living legend. Even the “Good Times” actress Bern Nadette Stanis, who portrayed Thelma in the well-known CBS sitcom from the 1970s, attended, creating a reunion that evening.

The event featured programs and activities from Event Partners like Coca-Cola’s If Not For My Girls, AT&T’s Dream In Black, Essence’s Girls United, and the Propel Center. Sponsors also pledged and donated $100,000 to Janet’s Rhythm Nation Scholarship Fund, which is partnered with the United Negro College Fund.

Outstanding students of color who are pursuing degrees in communications, fine arts, journalism, mass communications, mass media arts, music, photography, TV production, or visual arts at a participating UNCF institution or university are eligible for the Janet Jackson Rhythm Nation Scholarship.

Janet and her friends danced all night long to DJ Aktive’s music, and the now-viral video of her leading the electric slide and swaggering around the floor is proof. Debbie Allen, DJ D-Nice, Marsai Martin, actress Sidra Smith, Angelica Ross, and others were also there.

Janet wore a $335 Norma Kamali Glen Plaid Dress via Fashion Bomb Daily.
