Just prior to the scheduled release, Nicki Minaj refused to clear her verse on the song, “New Body,” which Ye intended to include on the tracklist for Vultures. She explained the decision on Instagram Live after West called her out on social media. “Now regarding Kanye, that train has left the station, OK?” she said. “No disrespect in any way, I just put out a brand new album. Now why would I put out a song that has been out for three years? Come on guys. You know?”

As for Smith, he recently made headlines while reflecting on the making of his iconic single with DJ Jazzy Jeff, “Summertime.” Discussing the song at the GRAMMY Salute to 50 Years of Hip Hop event, earlier this month, he admitted to copying Rakim’s style. “I was absolutely trying to sound like you on ‘Summertime,’” Smith said at the time. “‘Cause I had been screaming all night, and I couldn’t get my ‘happy-go-lucky’ high voice. And [the producer] just said, ‘Yo, just gimme that Rakim shit.’” Rakim shared the clip on Instagram with the caption: “All love.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Will Smith and Kanye West on HotNewHipHop.

Floyd Mayweather’s Plane Lands In Israel, Delivers 5000 LBs Of Supplies

by

Floyd Mayweather’s private plane has been confirmed as to have landed in Israel, bringing 5000 lbs of supplies to the nation. The plane was loaded with everything from food and water to bulletproof vests. “David Rubin is the child of Holocaust survivors. He is so tuned in to do anything he can for the survival of the Jewish people. When I called Floyd and asked him if he would be willing to send his plane to Israel with necessary supplies for soldiers, he said, ‘Of course. I got your back. I don’t care how much it costs. Make it happen,’” Mayweather’s friend Jona Rechnitz said of the efforts to get Mayweather involved.

Meanwhile, Mayweather also voiced his support for Israel on social media. “I stand with Israel against the Hamas terrorists. Hamas do not represent the people of Palestine but are a terrorist group that are attacking innocent lives! I stand for all humans and wish for the safe return of all Americans and Israelis and any human that were kidnapped as hostages during these horrific war crimes. This is not a time for politics. This is a time for safety first and foremost. God Bless America, God Bless Israel, God Bless Human Kind! I stand with Israel and Jews all around the world. I condemn antisemitism at all cost, I stand for Peace, I stand for Human Rights! Terrorism Is Never The Answer!” Mayweather said in a series of statements.

Israel-Palestine: Latest Updates

Meanwhile, the situation in Gaza grows ever more dire. A UN report suggests that fuel supplies in the enclave will only last another two days, putting already overcrowded hospitals at further risk. Meanwhile, the IDF has ordered over 1 million inhabitants of northern Gaza to evacuate to the south. However, many are afraid to do this after reports emerged of Israel bombing refugee convoys.

Elsewhere, Israeli troops are amassing on the Gazan border with a ground operation expected in the coming days. Furthermore, a Reuters videographer was killed when an Israeli shell hit a gathering of multi-national journalists covering fighting on the southern Lebanon border. Six others, who have been identified as Reuters, Al-Jazeera, and Agence France-Presse employees, were wounded in the incident. Overall, over 3600 people have died in the week following a brutal Hamas incursion into Israel. Additionally, Palestinian officials state that their death toll has already made it the greatest loss of life from the Palestinian side in any conflict with Israel to date.

It’s not the first time that Gillie has torn into American Airlines for their treatment of him as a passenger. Back in 2022, he slammed the airline for allegedly racially profiling him before he could board a plane. “Plane full of white folks leaving Dallas and the only black man is ask[ed] does he have illegal narcotics in his bag,” Gillie wrote on Instagram. “U pick the wrong n***a today buddy @americanair.” He included a video of an officer singling him out on a flight while claiming that he smelled like drugs.

Boosie Badazz Admits Pleasuring Himself On Plane

by

Boosie Badazz can’t seem to stop talking to VladTV. In yet another interview clip with the outlet, the rapper revealed some pretty personal information. Boosie has confessed to joining the solo mile-high club. He admitted some of his previous sexual encounters while also discussing Desiigner’s recent arrest. Authorities took the rapper into custody for allegedly exposing himself on a plane. During the interview with VladTV, Boosie learned about the accusation that Desiigner had masturbated during a recent flight. He asked if Desiigner and the flight attendant had engaged in any sexual activity, but was informed that they hadn’t. Boosie then commented that it was fortunate Desiigner had checked himself into a mental institution.

Boosie didn’t demonize Desiigner for being aroused on the plane, however. “My d*ck get hard on the plane,” Boosie said. “It was a long plane ride. My d*ck get hard on the plane, too. Go jack off in the bathroom. I did it before. Go jack off in the bathroom.” When the interviewer reacted with shock at his statement, Boosie was quick to double down. “F*cking right I did. I was watching Twitter one day. That b*tch was — mayne I was on Twitter, I went and hit my sh*t in the bathroom. F*cking right.” Luckily, Boosie didn’t get in trouble for that. However, he did have a small run-in with California cops this last weekend.

Boosie’s Weekend Run-In With The Police

Boosie had some choice words for the San Diego police last weekend. According to reports, the Baton Rouge rapper was arrested on Saturday and taken to San Diego County Jail. He was booked on four charges, all gun-related. These include possession of a firearm as a felon, having a concealed weapon in a vehicle, owning ammunition as a prohibited person, and being an unlisted owner of a registered firearm. After being released on bond, Boosie performed in San Diego and encouraged fans to chant “f*ck San Diego police,” which was captured in a video of the crowd showing their middle fingers. Then, the rapper yelled into the mic, “Suck my d*ck, you b*tches.”

This isn’t Boosie’s first run-in with authorities. Last year, the rapper was pulled over for his window tints and a concealed tag. Then, the police found a large bag of weed in the car. “I can’t keep going through this though, bro,” he said to the cops at the time. “I just can’t, bro… don’t do no wrong… gotta go to y’all superiors and file charges, man. It’s harassment. It’s every day. I moved to the country to fucking live, bro. I did six years on my back.” What do you think of Boosie’s airplane statement? Let us know in the comments!

Desiigner Exposes Himself On Plane, Enters Mental Facility

by

Desiigner is experiencing some serious mental health issues. This is not the first time that he has detailed struggles with mental health. Last year, the rapper explained why he parted ways with Kanye West’s label. “The reason why I left Ye is ’cause I was going through a little mental thing,” Desiigner said. “I was just coming up out of high school, my pops just went into a coma. While I was on tour, I was having a great time but I just knew something at home was happening with my mom and my pops health and shit.” Not long after that interview, Desiigner was caught up in a face off with the LAPD. When speaking on the incident, the rapper said that the the police were unnecessarily hostile in the situation. At the time he told them he was dealing with PTSD.

Desiigner originally hails from Brooklyn. He gained widespread recognition in 2016 after his debut single “Panda” became a chart-topping hit, reaching number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart. His unique style blends elements of trap music, hip hop, and rap, characterized by his rapid-fire delivery and distinctive ad-libs. Desiigner previously signed with Kanye West’s GOOD Music label in 2016. He has since released several projects, including his debut studio album L.O.D. in 2018. Late last year, he released his single “Bigger And Bigger” after previously announcing the he was retiring. In an interview about the single, he said, “Music is my therapy. I lost a lot of bros this year. We all say things out of emotions but the truth is in me.”

Desiigner: “Please Pray For Me”

Now, Desiigner has had another run in with police for a very different reason. On his international flight back from Asia, he apparently exposed himself. When he landed, the rapper was met by police. Apparently the rapper has not been feeling like himself for quite some time, and even had to be admitted to a hospital while he was out of the country. The specifics were not provided. However, Desiigner did make a statement to TMZ about the situation.

“For the past few months i have not been ok, and i have been struggling to come to terms with what is going on. While overseas for a concert i performed at, i had to be admitted in to a hospital, i was not thinking clearly,” said the rapper. “They gave me meds, and i had to hop on a plane home. I am ashamed of my actions that happened on that plane. I landed back to the states, and am admitting my self in a facility to help me. I will be cancelling all shows and any obligations until further notice. Mental health is real guys, please pray for me. If you’re not feeling like yourself please get help.” What do you think of Desiigner’s behavior? Is it good that he’s speaking out on mental health? Sound off in the comments!

Lil Pump Trips Out After Downing Shrooms On A Plane

by

Lil Pump is a very interesting human being. Sometimes, he will give these extremely eloquent interviews in which he is fully sober. However, there are other times when he is tripping hard while on camera. Subsequently, this leads to a certain perception of the artist. In fact, Pump recently explained how J. Cole was surprised to find out that he is actually very smart. That said, it should feel good for Pump to know that respected artists see the best part of him.

If you have been paying attention, Lil Pump has actually been having a very solid start to 2023. He dropped his new album Lil Pump 2, which features a whole bunch of styles, including metal. Although some fans didn’t resonate with the project, Pump is flexing his creativity. Additionally, he appears to be reinventing himself as not just an artist, but as a human being. It is always good to see this kind of growth, especially from artists who could fall into the complacency trap. That said, Pump is now going viral for hilarious reasons.

Lil Pump Shows No Restraint

In the video clip above, Lil Pump can be seen on a flight in the middle seats, surrounded by other passengers. He is being filmed in the clip, where he can be seen taking a handful of shrooms and downing them all at once. Overall, this is probably not the best idea. After all, shrooms can be quite powerful and will knock you out if you aren’t ready. Hilariously, in the next clip, Pump seemed to be completely out of his mind and he stared petrified in his seat. All of the people filming were laughing at the situation, and it made for a clip that has since gone viral.

Thankfully, it seems as though Lil Pump is doing just fine after the incident. Pump has been known to use hallucinogens in the past, so this was probably just another day on earth for him. However, we wonder what kind of hallucinations he must have had. Be sure to let us know your thoughts on Lil Pump 2, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

TSA Stops Passenger With Boa Constrictor In Their Carry On

by

The Transportation Security Administration says that they stopped a passenger who attempted to bring a massive boa constrictor in their carry-on bag. The incident occurred at the Tampa International Airport last month.

TSA spokesperson Lisa Farbstein explained to CNN that the four-foot-long snake belonged to a woman who claimed it was her “emotional support pet.” Agents detected it while the bag passed through an x-ray machine. The snake, named Bartholomew, was not allowed on the flight.

Farbstein further explained: “TSA notified the airline that the woman (with the carry-on) was ticketed to fly on and the airline did not permit the snake on the plane.”

The organization confirmed the incident in a post on Instagram afterward.

“There’s a danger noodle in that bag… Our officers at Tampa International Airport didn’t find this hyssssssterical!” the TSA wrote in the caption. “Coiled up in a passenger’s carry-on was a 4’ boa constrictor! We really have no adder-ation for discovering any pet going through an x-ray machine. Do you have asp-irations of taking a snake on a plane?”

“Has all this left you wanting to squeeze out more travel answers?” the agency continued. “You can always mamba on over to our friends at AskTSA! They’ll rattle out responses to your questions 7 days a week, from 8 a.m. – 6 p.m. (ET).”

Bartholomew is far from the first animal TSA has discovered at an airport. Back in November, they also found a cat in a carry-on at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. TSA agents also found a dog stuffed into a carry-on at Dane County Regional Airport in Madison, Wisconsin in recent months.

American Airlines Worker Killed By Jet Engine at Alabama Airport

by
3270

A freak accident involving a jet engine left a ground worker dead at a regional airport in Alabama this weekend. The man was “ingested into the engine” of an American Airlines jetliner parked at the gate, officials confirmed Sunday.

At 3pm on Saturday, the worker was sucked into the Embraer 170’s engine at Montgomery Regional Airport, with its parking brake set, the National Transportation Safety Board announced. Flight 3408 was scheduled to leave Montgomery for DFW and was operated by Envoy Air, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Airlines Group. The airport ceased operations after the accident but resumed service at about 8:30 p.m. Saturday. The airport confirmed the victim worked for Piedmont Airlines. 

In a statement released by American Airlines they expressed their devastation saying, “We are focused on ensuring that all involved have the support they need during this difficult time,” the company said, declining further comment during the ongoing investigation.” The NTSB and the Federal Aviation Administration are examining the incident. “We are saddened to hear about the tragic loss of a team member of the AA/Piedmont Airlines. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time,” the airport’s executive director, Wade Davis added.

High Sky Flying reported, “Yes, you can easily get sucked into an operating engine and it can be fatal. When an engine operates, the amount of air getting sucked though its intake can cause a low air pressure area in the surrounding areas and pull you towards it. If you’re standing close enough to an operating engine, you can get sucked in by the sheer force of the airflow.” 

Further details about the accident are not yet available and NTSB said a preliminary accident report can be expected within the next two or three weeks. The investigations by the FAA and NTSB are ongoing.
