Saweetie And YG Prove Their Relationship Is Back On

April 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s been a strange few months for YG and Saweetie, who started dating last year. The couple went head first into their relationship immediately collaborating on music and even planning a tour together. Even though the tour was canceled they seemed to be going strong in 2023. But once 2024 hit they formally shared the news that they were ending things. Despite claims that it was all very amicable, both had some behavior in the days following their breakup that fans found curious.

But pretty much from the moment they broke up, fans have speculated they might be back on. YG brought out Saweetie during his recent set with Tyga at Rolling Loud LA. But the pair didn’t just perform together, they had a sensual experience on stage that sent rumors of their rekindled romance into overdrive. Overnight, YG shared a picture of the pair together that all but confirmed their romance has returned. In the picture, the pair are sitting in the backseat of a car with a caption that features a variety of love and heart-themed emojis. Check out the post he shared that has fans buzzing below.

YG Shares New Picture With Saweetie

Saweetie already has a few features and singles under her belt in 2024 and that doesn’t look like it’s slowing up any time soon. She’s already begun teasing a new song called “Nani” that’s coming soon. She dropped a snippet of the pop-flavored song on Twitter and her fans were absolutely eating it up right away.

As for YG, he’s only appeared on one new song this year, a feature alongside Stunna Girl. Instead of dropping new music, he’s been celebrating the 10th anniversary of his seminal 2014 debut album My Krazy Life. What do you think of YG basically confirming that his romance with Saweetie is back on? How long do you think the pair have been back together? Let us know in the comment section below.

T.I. Gracefully Reacts To Awkward Fan Encounter: Watch

February 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

As one of the biggest rappers out of the South for over twenty years, T.I. knows a thing or two about how to handle awkward fan interactions. One recent clip has fans particularly praising his gracious and polite nature, despite not liking what a fan was doing. Moreover, the Atlanta trap pioneer and community advocate was recently filmed chopping it up with some fans, speaking to one in particular about an upcoming project he’s shooting and editing that he might need some help with. Then, another fan approached him and asked if he could rap for him, to which he responded with a simple “No” before accepting his request for a picture.

Not only that, but T.I. also asked the fan to lower his arm off his shoulder, remarking he doesn’t like that before smiling for the camera as if he had just laughed at a joke. It’s at least impressive to see just how fast he can change on a dime. Of course, the 43-year-old has such a storied career that fans have plenty of reasons to want to engage with him for. There’s his classic established catalog, and then his mentor-like historical perspective on the current rap landscape, commenting on a lot of current trends, events, and evolutions in hip-hop.

But it’s always fun to look back at the journey to the present, right? Bow Wow recently reflected on how T.I. helped him craft his third album, 2003’s Unleashed. “This is before the King album, this is before A.T.L., this is young Tip,” he shared. “Me and Tip wrote that third album together with my man R.O.C. Me and Tip really kicked it. We had moments, especially in the studio. Him giving me that freedom, him teaching me how to write. Cadence, bars, song structure, just everything.

“He was giving me the answers that I wanted Jermaine to give me,” Bow continued. “He was definitely a hundred in the studio. Tip was, that’s my dog. Even to this day, that’s my big bro right there.” For more news and the latest updates on T.I., keep checking in with HNHH.

Playboi Carti Shares Pic Of His Son With Iggy Azalea

January 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Playboi Carti shared a picture of his son, whom he shares with Iggy Azalea, on Instagram, earlier this week. The post shows a close-up image of the baby boy smiling. Azalea confirmed that she welcomed their child back in 2020, after already breaking up with Carti.

A few months later, she explained that the rapper missed the birth of their son. Taking to Twitter, she wrote: “This man was in philly playing PS5 mid pandemic the day my son was born even tho it was a scheduled c section. I had onyx alone completely cause he was my only visitor approved with Covid. We lived together at that time.” She also claimed that Carti was refusing to take responsibility for child. “And even tho onyx was a PLANNED baby, that we both wanted,” she added. “On some weirdo sh*t he has still refused to sign his birth certificate. He’s 9 months old. Won’t even give his son he claims to care so much about his own last name.”

The post for Carti comes as he continues to prepare for the release of his next album. Over the last several weeks, he’s released a number of singles including “EvilJ0rdan,” “Backr00ms,” “2024,” and more. Check out the picture of his son below.

As for Azalea’s music career, she recently took an apparent step away from that side of her life with a candid update on social media. She confirmed that she was halting work on her upcoming album and will focus on other creative outputs. “In truth what I’ve known for a long time is that I feel more passionately about design and creative direction than I do about song writing. To many of you that’s no shock to read. It shows in my work. Haha! Jokes aside, I do spend a lot more time on that part of things… because I’m most confident at that. That’s why I want to let you know that I’m not going to finish my album. It’s been paused for a few months while I was giving direction for a different project & in truth I just haven’t felt the urge to go back to it.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Playboi Carti on HotNewHipHop.

Destiny’s Child Reunites: All Five Members Pose For First Picture Together

January 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Destiny’s Child recently set the Internet ablaze after one of its members, LeToya Luckett, posted the group’s first-ever picture of all five main members together. For those unaware, they went through various lineup changes throughout their history together, and they recently met up for the RENAISSANCE film’s world premiere from Beyoncé. We thought that was all, but we just got this special new treat on Wednesday (January 3) to witness. It seems like this was a particularly thankful post from Luckett about her year as a whole that championed this as one of its best moments.

“ALL LOVE,’ LeToya Luckett wrote on Instagram as the picture’s caption, which sees Destiny’s Child posing in silver, black, and white fits. “This was hands down my favorite moment of 2023. The Love, The joy, The Prayer, The Healing. May we all experience beautiful moments like this in 2024 @beyonce @kellyrowland @iamlatavia @michellewilliams. All of the Chilren.” The superstar R&B group began as Beyoncé, Kelly Rowland, and Luckett, and LaTavia Roberson. Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin replaced Luckett and Roberson in 2000, and after Franklin left after five months, this formed their most successful lineup.

Furthermore, this caveat is why Franklin doesn’t appear in this picture, although this doesn’t seem to be a combative departure or omission. Regardless, it’s amazing to see Destiny’s Child come together after decades of greatness, especially amid certain rumors in the mill. Back in May of 2023, Beyoncé’s father Matthew Knowles teased a potential reunion album. While he clarified that the decision rests solely within the current lineup, as their manager, he expresses his wholehearted support of the hypothetical moment.

Meanwhile, back in 2022, the music executive explained why Beyoncé’s sister, Solange, never joined the group. “You would think joining [the group] would be a dream to her,” he shared on social media. “She had every opportunity to seize the success that the group was experiencing. And Solange’s desires and faith in herself trumped my personal desires for her. You see, I realized then that she had an unmatched character and an unwavering belief in herself. Me as a father could never get in the way of that. I finally supported and encouraged her decision. I didn’t fight against it anymore.” For more news and the latest updates on Destiny’s Child, keep checking in with HNHH.

Travis Scott & Kai Cenat Link Up, Fans Hope A Joint Stream Is On The Way

December 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kai Cenat continues to build his hip-hop crossover history, with his most recent link-up being with none other than Travis Scott. Moreover, we just have a picture of the two to go off of, but this already has people quite excited about a potential stream together. Of course, the Twitch giant is well-known for hosting rappers and other celebrities for some fun for the chat. But this would probably be his biggest on-stream appearance to date, particularly if they host it in person and not just a FaceTime or video call. Most recently, he appeared on Gillie and Wallo’s Million Dollaz Worth Of Game podcast, defending the Bronx in hilarious fashion.

Furthermore, this actually wouldn’t be the first time that these two worlds cross over, although it’s the first recorded in-person instance of it. Let’s set the stage: Kai Cenat was at TwitchCon, trying to get the company’s head honcho to unban his fellow streaming giant, IShowSpeed. Travis Scott, a streaming giant in a different realm, reposted a picture of the exchange, seemingly cosigning the unban efforts. Either that, or he just wanted to show that he’s tapped into what these content creators are doing and showing his support.

However, not all of the New York media personality’s relationships within the hip-hop world are positive. For example, Kai Cenat recently expressed shock when he learned that Blueface apparently doesn’t like him, and wondered what he ever didd wrong to upset him. We do know that he’s crossed paths with the rapper’s former boo and baby mama, Chrisean Rock, so that’s likely the point of contention. But since they had all streamed together before, this came as a bit of a surprise that had the 21-year-old feeling slightly indignant.

Meanwhile, La Flame is living large on the CIRCUS MAXIMUS tour in support of his new album, UTOPIA. Most recently, he brought out Future for his tour stop in Brooklyn, and they shut the place down. Maybe the Houston creative’s Big Apple adventures are what might lead him to work with the streamer more. On that note, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Kai Cenat and Travis Scott.

Luenell’s Diddy Disdain On Display As She Draws Devil Horns On Picture Of Him

December 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s former assistant apparently isn’t the only one calling him a “devil” amid various sexual misconduct and assault allegations and lawsuits. Moreover, Luenell recently uploaded a video of her in an undisclosed office space, one that features a framed picture of him at an awards show. She took a Sharpie and drew a mustache on the New York business titan– as well as devil horns– and walked off with a shrug. “Nuff said, boy bye. #Justice4KP,” the comedian wrote as her Instagram post’s caption. It’s a short, almost wordless, and no-frills video that makes her stance on this clear, and not many celebrities have spoken out against him in such a clear and convicted way.

Furthermore, for those wondering, we’d bet on the “KP” in that hashtag being Kim Porter, who was Diddy’s former partner. Tragically, she passed away in 2018 eleven years after their split, but she still had a big impact on his life that he continues to feel the void of to this day. However, the accusations against Sean Combs include claims that he also abused the model, but her absence means it’s a difficult situation to address. Regardless, Luenell clearly wants to do some right by Porter’s suffering, which she thinks is for him to take accountability for what he did wrong.

As previously mentioned, there are few celebrities who have been as outspoken or outright against Diddy as Luenell. But we know from her track record that she isn’t afraid to call out abhorrent behavior, even when it comes to the world of hip-hop. For example, the 64-year-old called out Dr. Dre back in 2021 for being a “notorious woman beater.” That was back when allegations about his attacks weren’t as etched into the history books.

Meanwhile, others like 50 Cent would rather clown Puff Daddy for this misbehavior– or even profit off of it. But there will always be those who take things a step further and burn those industry bridges with their head high. These are all allegations and claims at the end of the day, but it would be dishonest to say this didn’t impact public perception of him a great deal. For more news and the latest updates on Diddy and Luenell, come back to HNHH.

Kodak Black Questions Why “RaphouseTV” Used His Picture In Recent Post

November 13, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kodak Black is confused as to why RaphouseTV used a picture of him in a recent post with the caption: “Having a girl nobody touched since you met her is the biggest flex a man can have.” Sharing the post on his own Instagram page, Kodak added: “Ion Know Why They Used My Picture For This. HOPEFULLY I CAN RELATE.”

Fans added that men need to be loyal as well in the comments section. One wrote: “Having a man nobody touched since you meet him is the biggest flex a woman can have.” Another added: “The biggest flex is having a woman that matches your loyalty and your hustle!!”

Kodak’s latest post comes after the release of his latest album, When I Was Dead, which he dropped as a surprise, last week. After sharing it on Friday, Kodak admitted that he needs to be “better.” “I vow to do better in any area I lack, or some slack needs to be picked up on. I must do better, I must do this shit. And I appreciate y’all, because if it was up to them, I’d have been out of here,” Black said on social media. Check out Kodak’s most recent post on Instagram below.

Sexyy Red Is Young Thug’s “Twin,” She Says In Post Advocating For His Freedom

November 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

One of the funniest and most viral rap comparisons in recent memory centered around two artists in very different phases of their careers. On one hand, we have Sexyy Red: one of a couple of femcees who dominated the game in 2023 and made a significant splash in what feels like record time. On the other, we have Young Thug: a pioneer of trap who is currently behind bars on RICO charges along with various other members of YSL. People already said that they look alike, but it took a little longer for these artists to acknowledge that Internet meme and, most importantly, feel proud of it.

“Free my mf twin,” Sexyy Red quote-tweeted a new picture of Young Thug in court that emerged recently. While some folks think that Thugger gained weight in prison due to this snap, Red is clearly more focused on continuing to highlight his struggles in the prison system. If not that, then at least she has sympathy for him based on their physical similarities. Of course, something else that fans pointed out is that the St. Louis MC’s loyalty to the Atlanta icon is welcome but a tad odd, since she wasn’t popping off back when he was last free.

Sexyy Red Makes Her Stance Clear: “Free My Twin Young Thug”

A post shared by RapTV (@rap)

Regardless, we’re sure that Young Thug appreciates Sexyy Red’s support to some degree. In fact, now that it looks like the RICO trial will finally commence this month following a finalized jury selection process, support for Thug and YSL is more important than ever. It’s unclear as of press time whether the court found its final jurors, though, although they had a mission to reach a conclusion this week. Still, the trial’s expected start date remains at November 27, and if this pans out, it will be a massive development.

Furthermore, we’re sure that the rap community will be front and center to witness the RICO case with a lot of empathy and attention. Accountability and responsibility are priorities, but in such a contentious, deeply antagonistic, and notoriously complex and messy trial like this, many fans lost hope that these values will be achieved either way. We’ll just have to wait and see. With that in mind check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Young Thug and Sexyy Red.

Chrisean Rock Says She’ll Press Charges Against Blueface For Explicit Son Pic

September 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Just when we thought things were getting better for Chrisean Rock and Blueface, fans went wild with the latter’s latest relationship-ruining antics. If you didn’t already hear, the California rapper posted an explicit photo of their son online. This made the Baddies star absolutely livid, and she blasted him in a barrage of tweets and Instagram Live sessions. Particularly, in one clip making rounds on social media, she hinted at much more severe consequences for him. Moreover, Rock said that she wants to press charges against the 26-year-old for his gross and exploitative actions.

“Yeah, and I’m pressing charges,” Chrisean Rock said of her (in equal parts) partner and rival, Blueface. “I don’t need no money, no child support, but I’m pressing charges, bro. You want to play this police game? Okay…” Of course, her general bashing elicited a stubborn response from her on-and-off-again boo, but he didn’t address this specific threat. What’s more is that it feels like the entire Internet is reacting to, and arguing about, this whole situation. For example, Wack 100 (Blue’s manager) actually expressed a lot of concern for Chrisean Jr.

Chrisean Rock Threatens Blueface With Charges

“While you guys are laughing at Rock, this man’s baby is suffering,” the executive said of Chrisean Rock and Blueface’s drama. “No way a real hospital allowed this child to leave their supervision. This ain’t [Zeus], this is real life. Blueface can’t find the child to get the baby proper care. This baby is at risk and needs [to] be in [the] care of a hospital now.” However, his online rants also came with threats to the Baltimore native, as Rock’s spoken on Wack’s involvement a couple of times.

“[Chrisean], say my name one more time and I’ma let the world know why I never f***ed with you,” he expressed on Instagram. “#TryMe… Don’t ever in life call me gay behind wtf you and him got going on. You know why I don’t f**k [with] you. It’s three of us with the content. Mention my name again with some BS and I’ma expose the real. Now I’ma go on ’bout my day.” For more news and the latest updates on Blueface and Chrisean Rock, check back in with HNHH.

JT Laughs At Her Old Club Outfit In Throwback Pic

September 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Whenever you look back on an old embarrassing fit in your eyes, you have two choices: defend it with excuses or just accept it. JT of the City Girls is too self-aware, confident, and fun-loving to do anything but the latter, as she recently showed on Twitter. Moreover, someone tweeted out an old picture of her wearing some interesting clubbing attire. Heeled boots, tiny leather shorts, and nothing but an open white blazer as her top certainly made for a risqué look. Still, a lot of people rocked with it, but maybe the rapper thought that it would be best for another occasion. “Why was I at the club like this fr!!!!!!” she quote-replied with a slew of crying emojis.

Regardless, JT’s known for some killer style, and sometimes for her revealing and bare choices when it comes to it. For example, for her recent Beats By Dre x Mowalola campaign, she only wore the headphones she advertised and nothing else. Of course, the Florida MC’s fashion passion sometimes goes to scary heights for some, and a few users were quite critical of the NSFW campaign as a whole. With this in mind, she clapped back at the haters online.

JT Can’t Believe She Used To Wear This To The Club

“One thing about y’all porch n***as y’all don’t let nobody have s**t,” JT let out via a tweet “Nothing is to y’all standard. You’ll never see a Hugo Comte lens just like your beard will never connect.” “This is not for the trolls, this is not for the h*es, this is not for the people trying to defend it,” she continued on IG Live. “It’s for everybody. It’s for my dark skin girls with the nose… This Miss Mug Shot is now the face of a brand, b***h.”

Meanwhile, with the release of their latest single “Face Down,” it looks like the City Girls are turning up the heat once again. Hopefully we get more material in the coming weeks, as they’ve spent a long time building anticipation for more bangers. All the way up to that moment, we’re sure that Yung Miami and her partner will continue to dazzle- and look back on how far they and their fashion have come. Stay posted on HNHH for the latest news and updates on JT.
