Tyler, The Creator Throws Around A Different Career Aspiration Due To “Annoying” Album Demands

October 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

There’s no doubt that after the release of CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST and the subsequent deluxe, The Estate Sale, fans have been wanting a new Tyler, The Creator project. It’s highly arguable that it’s his best body of work and it’s for sure one of the strongest LPs of the 2020’s decade. But since it hit platforms in 2021, the outspoken multi-talent has been sticking to performances and interviews. Tyler is extremely passionate about his craft and the genre overall, but he’s made it known that he finds his fans annoying and weird.

He expressed those sentiments in an interview with Maverick Carter saying how they feel like they deserve to know everything. So, it’s no surprise that he’s doing more of the same on social media. According to HipHopDX, collaborator Steve Lacy shared a post to IG with the caption, “album this album that what happen to hello?” This is something that Creator clearly resonated with, because he got in the comments to share Lacy’s feelings. “I feel you s*** is annoying,” he began. “Especially when I never said out my mouth an album was coming.” i wanna be an actress lmfao

However, what some are reading into is the fact that he threw around the idea of switching careers. “I wanna be an actress lmfao.” This could all be just a joke or he’s saying that to enhance how much these constant demands for music can get under his skin. But with Tyler making his film debut in Marty Supreme, an A24 production about the pro ping pong player, it does raise our eyebrows a bit. Tyler has done some voice acting in the past for popular cartoon shows too, so it’s not totally out of the realm of possibility that he takes a different path.

What are your thoughts on Tyler, The Creator saying he wants to become an “actress” due to “annoying” fans asking for an album? Do you think he was speaking seriously or jokingly? Do Lacy and Tyler have a point with their statements? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

Nicki Minaj’s Sister Reacts To Safaree Having A Ball At Her Concert

October 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Safaree made a controversial maneuver this past weekend by popping out to support Nicki Minaj. She is currently in the midst of her Gag City Reloaded portion of the extensive Pink Friday 2 tour. Video of her ex surfaced online, and it went viral. The artist and TV personality was having the time of his life dancing to the Queen of New York’s hits. He even voiced his love for Nicki on X (Twitter), saying, “I’m proud no cap… a lot of yalll will never understand but there is no malice in me… I’m proud.” The former partners had a pretty nasty and tumultuous fall out, especially after the breakup.

But it seems like Safaree is trying to turn a new leaf. He did recently say he’s trying to live life in a new lense, as he expressed that, “I want to start giving back more.” As we hinted earlier, fans, especially of Nicki’s, were pretty upset/annoyed with the co-producer. However, there was also quite a nice number of people that were happy that Safaree was happy. “Some people can’t even get that level of support from phony family members. I’m here for it Life is too short to be a pressed hater,” one IG user stated.

Now, Minaj’s sister, Ming Li, is weighing in on the situation, according to Live Bitez. Li hopped on what appears to be an Instagram Live session while at a salon. She answered some random questions, while even speaking on her new dog that she’s naming after her talented sis. Shoving that to the side, though, Li gave her two cents on Safaree showing up, and all she could really do was giggle about it. “Safaree was cuttin’ up yesterday, hell yeah he was [tee-hees]. I saw that. That s*** was funny [tee-hees].” She seems to not have a problem with it overall, and neither did Nicki on Sunday because she brought out her current boo Kenneth Petty during the performance.

What are your thoughts on Nicki Minaj’s sister’s reaction to Safaree going to the former’s show in Miami? Do you think him attending was weird, why or why not?

Quavo Fans Debate Whether Or Not He Has A Baby

October 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Outside of his extremely malicious beef with Chris Brown (and a lawsuit), Quavo has not been making a lot of headlines. However, the internet is absolutely losing their minds over a recent post-and-delete video. The Neighborhood Talk was able to get a hold of it before it was taken down and it sees the former Migos rapper boarding a private jet. Some people have been a little puzzled over why he would post him doing this, but that is not really why people are buzzing. Instead, it has to do with the fact that there is a crying baby on the plane with Quavo being one of the passengers.

It’s an unintentionally funny moment as the child decides to announce his presence as soon the potential father starts to walk through the cabin. Quavo even does what a dad would do when a baby begins to cry, saying in exaggerated fashion, “Okay.” Fans were quick to point out that detail, as well as noticing a car seat onboard. “Yea that was definitely a car seat peep the handle n the seat,” one IG user says.

Quavo Fans Are Divided On Baby Post

While some were making light of the situation, others were making more mature observations. A lot of social media users seemed to not be a fan of The Neighborhood Talk‘s caption, “Now Quavo…you can’t just delete the post without telling the fans what’s tea? .” This set some off. “If he does have a baby please explain why tf do y’all feel like he’s entitled to tell y’all?!!” “He was smart to keep it private.” Regardless of whose child it is, hopefully it had a safe flight.

What are your thoughts on Quavo possibly having a child? Do you think people deserve to know what’s up, why or why not? Could it have been a friend’s baby? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Quavo.

Jussie Smollett Reveals How Much He Spent On Chicago Hoax Case

October 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Since 2019, Jussie Smollet, has been fighting for his innocence in regard to his infamous Chicago hoax case. If you remember, he says he was attacked by two men who were hurling racist and homophobic slurs at him. The assailants accused him of staging the entire debacle to get more publicity and speed up his path to stardom. Moreover, the police were claiming he did the exact same thing. After lots of court appearances, 2022, would be the time that Smollet was convicted and received a 150-day sentence behind jail bars, along with probation and fines.

Instead, he wound up only serving six days and it’s been an uphill battle for Smollet ever since to try and clear his name. Just several days ago, he told PEOPLE what a “dark” time it was when he was arrested for disorderly conduct and falsifying a police report. “I was numb. I didn’t know how to connect the dots, I really genuinely did not know.”

Jussie Smollet Gets Emotional Talking About His Hoax Case

Similarly, he got emotional talking with ET about it in a recent interview mostly surrounding his film, Lost Holliday. In speaking with Nischelle Turner, Smollet was fighting back tears while firmly maintaining his position that he did nothing wrong. “I want to have all of these things in my life, and I don’t want to have a felony on my record for something that I didn’t do. That’s what we’re fighting for,” he said according to The Hollywood Reporter. He doesn’t want to lay down and give up for that, but also because he’s spent “almost $3 million” of his own money. Smollet also is adamant about fighting because, “As a human and as a man, as a Black man and as an openly gay Black man, I have a problem with letting them win on something they shouldn’t be able to.”

YSL Woody Suggests That Charleston White Placed A Tracking Device In His Car

October 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Over the last week and a half, YSL Woody (aka Lil Woody) and Charleston White have been butting heads. The former got things started by calling out the equally controversial hip-hop personality for speaking about him so negatively. “I had [love] for you. I thought that you had that same thing for me. But you wanna get on these platforms and say I’m a killer…. Like dang, bro, me and you don’t talk about none of this stuff.” On top of these two-face claims, Woody also says White has been trying to create beef between him and Boosie Badazz. The “star” name during the RICO trial also concluded his interview with Adam22 with a warning for White, “I know how I can get. And you playing.”

Just a few days after that, White clapped back by labeling Woody as a snitch in the YSL case. Now, the latter is returning the favor by suggesting that the content creator is trying to get him in trouble. According to a reposted interview clip by DJ Akademiks, Woody says someone placed an Apple Airtag in the backseat of his car. He showed the interviewer proof of the tracking device and says that he’s unsure how it got there, especially since Woody says he doesn’t allow anyone in his vehicle(s).

Even though that’s supposedly the case, he says in the interview that White and his girl got in his car at one point. He never explicitly accuses them, but Woody isn’t ruling it out given their recent history. In typical fashion, though, he says that he’s always outside in Atlanta going to big events, so “White’s Airtag” was unnecessary. The absurdity continues when the questioner even says that someone was tracked down and killed because an Airtag was on them. Woody replies, “Ain’t nobody gonna kill me though.” Unintentionally funny moments aside, these two are not holding back.

What are your thoughts on YSL Woody presenting the idea that Charleston White placed a tracking device in his car? Is this a plausible claim given how heated things have been between this two lately?

Safaree Thoroughly Enjoys Himself At Nicki Minaj’s Concert

October 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Safaree and Nicki Minaj spent a lot of time together. In fact, it was a 12-year relationship that saw a lots of ups and downs, especially toward the end. There were some moments of reconciliation and there were others that displayed utter nastiness. Sometimes it got straight up concerning, as it was reported by TMZ 2014 that Safaree was experiencing su*cidal thoughts following the breakup. The drama and turmoil didn’t stop there though for the rapper and TV star as his partnership with Erica Mena has seen its own fair share of issues. They aren’t together anymore, and they have constantly gone back and forth since splitting 2021.

Mena has been extremely critical, putting him on blast for not showing enough love and support for their kids. But despite all of these shortcomings and dilemmas, Safaree is trying his best to make up for it. In fact, he recently said that he’s living with a new purpose. “I want to start giving back more, and uh, I don’t why lately. [Maybe] this trip is just making me see things different [but] I have to do it. So if you’re somebody who know me, link me up if you want to help in any way.” However, –at least in this case– this has nothing to do with Mena.

Instead, Safaree is “giving back” to Nicki Minaj by popping out at her Miami stop for the Gag City Reloaded leg of her ongoing Pink Friday 2 tour. However, he didn’t just stand in the crowd, he was having an absolute ball. As you can see in the video from The Neighborhood Talk above, he’s dancing and just enjoying himself thoroughly. On top of this, Safaree tweeted out in response to the clip making the rounds online. “I’m proud no cap… a lot of yalll will never understand but there is no malice in me… I’m proud.” This has led to some mixed reactions from the internet, with the Barbz especially showing no remorse for their queen’s ex. However, some were just simply happy to see him happy.

Bhad Bhabie Reconciles With Her Alienated Father

October 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bhad Bhabie’s fast rise to stardom and virality in the late 2010s led to a lot of backlash online. Her image was especially put into question after her wild interview with Dr. Phil and her mother Barbara Bregoli. It painfully highlighted how tense things were between them and gave witnesses a glimpse into what their lives at home must’ve been like. Similarly, her relationship with her father, Ira Peskowitz, was also far from great around 2016-2018. According to TMZ, it got to the point where her father was formally removed from her birth certificate and was also forced to give up his parental rights.

Then, in 2020, Bhad Bhabie (Danielle Bregoli) was strongly considering a restraining order against Ira. This was because he was spreading abuse allegations against his then wife Barbara. Bhabie laid the hammer down on him for this, labeling him an absent father while also alleging Ira was attempting to draw attention away from her burgeoning rap career. However, the father and daughter have been working hard to create a healthy relationship once again.

In fact, things seem to be the best have been in a long time and they have been for just over a year. TMZ has learned that Bhabie was the one to reach out via texts and phone calls. These series of communications led to her traveling to Florida to meet with him and thankfully, it was a successful reuniting. That then led to Bhabie inviting Ira and his new wife and her two sons (her half-brothers) to her house in Los Angeles in September. There, they celebrated the half birthday of Bhabie’s daughter, Kali. After years of turmoil and hatred, we are happy to see her and Ira rebuilding a strong father-daughter connection!

Cardi B Responds To Internet’s Ruthless Postpartum Surgery Claims

October 5, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cardi B is probably one of the most scrutinized rappers in the industry. Regardless of how personal the topic is or not, the internet is going to comment on her. The heat has especially been turned up to an 11 ever since her and Offset announced their divorce in early August. It’s been messy once again, and it hasn’t helped that she just delivered baby number three in September. Now, her body (for some reason) has sparked contentious debate on social media, adding another layer of stress for the NY rapper.

Not too long ago, Cardi B shared a video in which she was looking extra curvy in a mirror. The caption over the clip reads, “I don’t understand how I’m losing weight everywhere but my face – _ -.” There’s also pictures of her bodying some stunning dresses, looking like she never gave birth to begin with. If you remember, just a few days ago, Cardi was seen recording her workout at the gym just days after giving birth. She’s obviously doing it for herself, but she’s also looking to prove previous haters wrong that were judging her following her first and second pregnancies. “I remember how y’all made me feel in May, and y’all hurt my feelings. Snap back is gonna be on a thousand.” Now, people are talking again, and she’s responding, according to Uproxx.

Cardi B Shuts Down Postpartum Cosmetic Surgery Rumors

A post shared by Akademiks TV (@djakademikstv)

Y’all really need to relax ..This is how my body REALLY LOOKS LIKE …My body looks exaggerated in the other video cause I have a 5X faja on…I want yall to think wit yall brain ..Yall was just praising my body couple days ago …do yall think I went and got surgery in 2 days… https://t.co/6x2aEMzGHv pic.twitter.com/AT9nSovsOX

— Cardi B (@iamcardib) October 5, 2024

Above, you can see that a Twitter user is assuming that she got some cosmetic work done and that she “blew it” and it’s “pissing” this person off! It’s a pretty insensitive thing to claim, and as you can imagine, it set her off. So, she got to responding, and she explains why her body looks extremely snatched. “Y’all really need to relax.. This is how my body REALLY LOOKS LIKE… My body looks exaggerated in the other video cause I have a 5X faja (body-shaping garment) on… I want yall to think wit yall brain.. Yall was just praising my body couple days ago… do yall think I went and got surgery in 2 days?” Thankfully, a fan came to her defense making it known you can’t get surgery until six months have passed since giving birth. Cardi replied with a huge “THANK YOU” in return. Even though this should be enough to debunk the surgery rumors, we know all too well it’s going to continue.

What are your thoughts on Cardi B clapping back at the internet for their criticism of her postpartum figure? Do you think people are too critical of the New York rapper, why or why not?

Adin Ross Shows Loyalty To Drake By Selling His Watch That LeBron James Also Owns

October 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

One of the oddest and most speculative byproducts of the whole Kendrick Lamar versus Drake battle is everyone else that suddenly found themselves in the middle of it. We’re not talking about the other rap beef opponents such as Future and Rick Ross, though. Rather, we’re talking about the other celebrities that “picked a side” based on who they showed love to, where they went, and how these folks are interacting online. This is especially true for the Toronto superstar based on just how high-profile he is with his famous friends. For example, he unfollowed LeBron James after months of speculation that the NBA star is more Team Kendrick.

Still, even an IG unfollow – which is practically Drake’s way of making a press release and solidifying his real-life bonds – isn’t enough to confirm this. After all, LeBron James warmed up to his music just fine the other day. But Adin Ross isn’t taking any chances, cutting all associations with the former Cleveland Cavalier. However, he chose to start this process in a pretty odd way. The streamer is selling his Audemars Piguet watch (worth between $450K and $500K) because he owns the same one that LeBron does, and doesn’t want that link to stick around.

Adin Ross Picks Drake Over Lebron James

A post shared by Akademiks TV (@djakademikstv)

“I’ll just tell you guys the truth,” Adin Ross said on his livestream. “I’m selling this piece ’cause LeBron has this piece and Drake unfollowed Bron. There. That’s the reason why I’m doing it. I don’t care. Michael Jordan’s better.” Of course, some fans flamed him while others rode just as hard, if not harder, for OVO. One of the things that critics brought up, though, is that Bronny James apparently boosted Ross’ popularity, so this is an ironically disloyal show of loyalty in their eyes.

Meanwhile, Adin Ross recently rode a little too hard for Drake, as he had to apologize to Los Angeles for some disrespectful comments to Kendrick Lamar affiliates. “I’m not necessarily apologizing to people I was talking towards,” he expressed. “But I do want to say one thing: L.A. is to not be f***ed with. L.A. is a serious place, and I love L.A. Seriously, I love L.A. Now, I’m not folding. I still say ‘F**k you’ to the people that were coming at me. F**k you.”

Toosii Discusses Shaq Infamously Entering His Girlfriend’s DMs

October 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this year, North Carolina rapper Toosii had a brief one-sided beef with NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal. Shaq, who’s been living the bachelor life since getting divorced in 2011, is infamous for his willingness to approach women. He sent Toosii’s girlfriend Samaria Davis a message that read “can I have that baby.” As there was no punctuation in Shaq’s message, Toosii interpreted it as Shaq asking for his son. Toosii blasted Shaq for the message, calling him a “weird ass oldhead.” He later walked it back when he realized what Shaq actually meant, but still criticized him for sliding into his girlfriend’s DMs.

In a new interview with The Breakfast Club, Charlamagne asked Toosii about the spat, and he explained his thought process. “When I read that, I thought he was talking about my son. If I had known he was talking about my BM, on God, I never would’ve said that,” Toosii said. When DJ Envy asked if they spoke after, Toosii confirmed they had not had a conversation. He pointed to Shaq’s net worth and social status as reasons why the two have never been able to speak.

Toosii also explained that his girlfriend Samaria Davis, who is a model with over a million Instagram followers and recently launched a YouTube channel, always shows him who tries to slide into her DMs. He never felt threatened by Shaq or concerned that she would accept his offer, but he was more offended that Shaq even asked the question at all, if his words on the Breakfast Club interview are to be believed.

Toosii released his latest album, Jaded, on October 4. The 36-minute album features appearances from Kehlani, Muni Long, and Gunna, the latter of whom delivered a smooth feature on the track “Champs Elysses.” He made the rounds on New York hip-hop stations to promote it, including an appearance on Hot 97 that came shortly after his interview with Charlamagne, Envy, and Jess Hilarious. The full half-hour interview is available to listen to on The Breakfast Club‘s YouTube channel.
