NBA YoungBoy’s Baby Mama Reveals Kidnapping Scare Was A Prank

February 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last weekend, NBA YoungBoy’s baby mama Arcola scared her Instagram followers when she went Live from the trunk of a car. Moreover, she claimed to have been kidnapped and then let her page know that she was okay, which confused a lot of people. After all, many wondered, why would you go on Instagram Live rather than calling 911 or clarifying the situation after the fact? Regardless, we now know that this situation was apparently all a prank. New audio emerged on Sunday night (February 26) of Arcola confessing that this was a big misunderstanding and that she didn’t actually call the police.

“That Carlee, or Carlae, whatever her name is, that type of s**t,” YoungBoy’s baby mama began. “I never called the police, that’s the difference. I never got on Live and said ‘Call the police,’ I said ‘Call my mom.’ I seen the green latch. If I was really kidnapped, I would’ve pulled that motherf***er.” “It was childish, and you do have to stop doing that type of stuff because you do have a bigger following,” Arcola’s friend added. “But b***hes just need to mind their f***ing business, period.”

“I do, and that’s why I said I apologize,” YoungBoy’s former flame went on. “Those were never my intentions. I was never trying to put it like I was really, you know, kidnapped. I was never finna go along with that story.” “They wanted you to keep it going with a whole a** Live,” her friend expressed. “So they could call you more of a liar.” “Girl, I was never finna do that,” Arcola remarked. “Like I said, if you don’t understand my sense of humor, that’s on you. But, yeah, I do need to stop playing like that. You are absolutely correct, lesson learned from this situation. I will never play like that again.

“But stop trying to make it like I was really just trying to go on with the lie,” she concluded. “I was outside for a reason, I’m not hiding. I’m not trying to make it like I really got kidnapped. Like I said, it was a prank gone wrong. Y’all blew that video up. You b***hes are liars, on my soul. You’re a liar, b***h. Liar, liar, pants on fire! I was joking. Y’all wish I really got kidnapped, y’all really thought I was gonna get on there and keep lying about it. Those were never my intentions. It just so happened somebody screen-recorded it, and all these blogs just started posting it.” For more news and the latest updates on NBA YoungBoy, log back into HNHH.

Texas Voting Registration Prank Targets Drake, 50 Cent, And More

February 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

2024 is an election year, and the change brewing in the air around us is hard to deny. Though many artists prefer to keep their focus on their artistry as often as possible, some have become politically active in recent years, using their platforms to influence fans on who’s worth voting for in their opinion. For his part, Drake isn’t an overtly political lyricist, but he did find himself caught up in some Texas election drama along with 50 Cent, Chris Brown, and some other creatives this month.

As The Houston Chronicle previously shared, a number of entertainers were falsely registered to vote in the Lone Star State using the same address. The outlet obtained documents from the Harris County Tax Assessor’s Office, listing Drizzy, Fif, The Game, Breezy, and Trey Songz as eligible to vote on August 15th, 2023. The prankster behind the scheme said all five men lived at a “beige $300,000 house in a modest new development,” and signed papers acknowledging their crimes could be penalized with “up to one year in jail, a fine up to $4,000, or both.”

Drake Lives with 50 Cent, Chris Brown, and Other Artists in Texas According to Falsified Documents

None of the MCs involved cast a ballot in the 2020 election, but as XXL notes, Texas federal law allows people to register to vote in the state without a driver’s license, ID, or Social Security Number. So long as full legal names and birth dates are accurate, the process is likely to be approved, as demonstrated here.

Though the situation is mildly concerning, Drake isn’t letting himself get caught up in things that are out of his control. Rather, the father of one continues to make his generous spirit felt while on the road with J. Cole promoting 2023’s For All the Dogs. Besides that, the Canadian is also working with Yeat again, this month reuniting for a joint effort called “As We Speak.” Tap into that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Ray J Roasted For Bizarre NSFW “Prank” On Instagram

November 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Social media users tore into Ray J after the rapper uploaded a bizarre prank video to his Instagram. Ray J was seen lamenting about the need to apply lotion to his legs while a comically large bulge protruded out one side of his shorts. However, very few people, if anyone at all, were amused by the out-of-pocket video. Most people immediately deemed the appendage to simply be a dildo that Ray J had inserted into his shorts. Meanwhile, words like “cringe” and “corny” were thrown about liberally. Furthermore, many people pointed out that it had to be fake given his infamous sex tape with Kim Kardashian. “We seen the video tho….. We know this is fraudulent,” one person noted.

As the video quickly went viral, a number of big-name internet trolls found their way to the post. The most notable of these was ex-NBA player Nick Young. “These n-gga wearing strapon!! That’s sick lol I’m about to start a show your real print challenge lol.” Later, Ray J tried to deflect the negative reaction with a joking comment of his own. “Somebody please take my phone from me,” he wrote in the comments.

Ray J Beefs With Kodak Black

However, social media backlash isn’t the only thing that Ray J has been up to lately. Elsewhere, he has also been beefing with Kodak Black. The beef began after he reacted to Black’s recent appearance on Drink Champs. “We gotta help this dude. I took him to Trump house and he did the most. They were not happy with the experience bc he had no guidance and respect. Yo @wack100 let’s figure out how we can help this guy instead of watching him self destruct,” he said on social media. Responding in an Instagram Live, Black told fans he was fine and made physical threats against Ray J. However, Ray J responded in kind, telling Black to put his money where his mouth was and fight him.

A statement from Black and his lawyer then sought to address both the Trump claims while also furthering the beef. “Kodak was invited to Mar A Largo by Ray J for a fund raiser for another candidate, not for altruistic reasons,” the statement began before calling out unnamed people for speaking on Black now instead of when he was incarcerated. Furthermore, the statement thanked everyone from Lil Pump to Lamar Jackson for extending help and support to Black.

Chrisean Rock’s Wikipedia Page Temporarily Updated To Reflect Second Child She Hopes To Have

November 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Chrisean Rock left us shocked when she first announced her pregnancy in January of this year. The Baltimore-born entertainer has proven time and time again that she has plenty of growing up to do in terms of her mental and emotional maturity. This has led some to question how ready she would be by the time her baby was born. She’s obviously made her share of mistakes since Junior arrived in September. Nevertheless, Rock is growing and getting better with each passing day. This past weekend she celebrated her baby boy’s two months Earthside. As she continues to recover, the Baddies cast member hasn’t held her tongue about wanting more kids.

She and Blueface have been feuding practically non-stop since she told him she’s pregnant. Because of this, we were doubtful about a second child coming to Rock from Blue. However, she’s alleged that they’ve slept together multiple times this fall, even with the 26-year-old getting on one knee and proposing to his first baby mama, Jaidyn Alexis. The new mother has also been antagonizing her rapper ex with a new beau – Lil Mabu – who she also claims to be in bed with regularly.

Chrisean Rock is Serious About Expanding Her Family

No pregnancy have been taken (that we know of). Still, Rock’s Wikipedia page was temporarily updated to reflect the infant she hopes to bring into the world. As revealed in a screenshot on Twitter a few days ago, someone wrote, “one, and another expected to be on the way” under the Cr*zy In Love star’s profile where it asks about her children. It’s since been returned to its normal state. Nevertheless, we’re curious to see if Chrisean will follow in Rihanna’s footsteps by announcing another pregnancy so soon.

This past weekend, the drama between Chrisean Rock and her baby daddy was minimal. However, Blueface’s mom, Karlissa Saffold, spilled some telling tea while going Live a few days ago, suggesting that her youngest grandson’s mom has a chance at reconciling with the “Thotiana” rapper still. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

DDG Claims Two Men Slapped Him After Breaking Into His Home, Shares Footage

September 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

DDG ran into some bad luck in his home the other day, or rather, he at least wasn’t subjected to a whole lot worse. Still, it wasn’t very fun for him to be woken up in the middle of the night with a slap by two pranksters, who broke into his home. Fortunately, it seems like they didn’t harm anyone else, steal anything, or put the rapper’s life any further in danger. All in all, especially given how he talked about it, it seems like this was all a big clout chase that took things way too far. The former YouTuber MC took to social media to vent briefly about the situation, and also to share alleged security footage of the incident.

“Whoever you are, I don’t know what type of sick game you think you playing,” he began. “I don’t know if you think it’s cool to sneak in my house and put your hands on me as a joke. It’s not funny.” Then, footage shows the two individuals slapping DDG in his bed and running out of the room. Afterwards, he wakes up, grabs a weapon, checks the area, and turns on the light when he sees it’s all clear.

However, it’s not like the Michigan native is completely out of luck as of late. This incident comes after some big recent wins for DDG, whether that concerns his personal life or his career. For example, he recently opened up Gunna’s sold-out show at Barclays Center in New York on Saturday (September 9). With hits like “Moonwalking in Calabasas,” the 25-year-old got the crowd ready while also probably introducing himself to a lot of new listeners.

Meanwhile, his relationship with Halle Bailey is as strong as ever, and continues to be a big source of joy in their lives. Sure, they have their fair share of haters, but who doesn’t in the celebrity world? All we can hope for is that this animosity stays online and doesn’t invade his home again.

Lil Yachty Ding-Dong Ditches Random House

September 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Lil Yachty has undergone a bit of a personal revamp recently, debuting a bold new bald look and revealing that he’s quit lean. Apparently, he’s been getting clown on by trolls online, who claim the performer looks sick since dropping a few pounds. He took to Twitter to clap back at haters, however, appearing unfazed by the hate. “I did not stop drinkin lean for n****s to bully me and tell me i look like i have leukemia,” he wrote.

Regardless of the the criticism, he looks to be living his best life as of late. Though he’s made a point to steer clear of some of his old bad habits, he appears to be his usual, goofy self. This is evidenced by a new clip, which shows him ding-dong ditching a random house with friends. In the clip, he’s seen looking pretty hesitant to go through with the whole thing, but eventually gives in. Luckily for Lil Yachty, it doesn’t seem like anyone caught him.

Lil Yachty Proves He’s Got Guts

In the clip, someone off-camera asks him whether or not he has the guts to go through with the prank. “Do you think I’m p*ssy?” he responded. They then drop him off, he knocks on the door a few times, and then cooks back to the car. “Sh*t! Go go go go go,” he shouts as he runs away from the house.

Outside of pranks, Lil Yachty’s also been busy with his new A Safe Place podcast alongside his co-host, MitchGoneMad. On the pod, he recently addressed a clip that’s circulating, which appears to show him shooting a new music video with Drake in the woods. “Drake has just like these *nsane fans who follow him everywhere he goes,” he explained. “They were in sniper position.” What you think of the clip? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Lil Yachty.

Brandy Gets Pranked By Her Daughter In Hilarious Clip

August 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Brandy and her 21-year-old daughter, Sy’Rai, appear to have a close relationship. Similarly, in most mother-daughter relationships, it makes sense that they can joke around with one another. In an hilarious clip that has made its rounds online, the singer’s daughter tries to pull off a prank involving Kali’s “Area Codes.” In this case, the trend involves reading lyrics from the song to someone unfamiliar with them.

“So I got a white boy on my roster,” Sy’Rai began, to which Brandy followed up with “What does that mean?” She continued: “He be feeding me pasta and like lobster, mama.” As the “Boy Is Mine” singer’s confusion builds, her daughter tries to hold in her laughter. “Who feeds you pasta and lobster? Who is this person?” Brandy asked.

Brandy Isn’t The Only One To Be A Victim Of The “Area Codes” Prank

In fact, the hilaious trend has been all over TikTok as of late. Dozens of videos have appeared online of people attempting the joke with a loved one. The tune behind the prank, “Area Codes” was released by Kali back in March. “Got a white boy on my roster, he be feeding me pasta and lobster / He just hit me up on Tuesday like ‘What you doing bae? let me take you shoppin,’” she raps on the track. On the music side of things, Brandy offered fans a glimpse into what she’s been working on.

Prior to this, the Grammy-Award winning singer released her last project in 2020, B7. “Fans are going to be shocked to know what I have up my sleeve. It’s not the typical regular R&B Brandy album, I’ll just say that,” Brandy revealed to E! News. In spite of the outlet trying to pry about possible collabs, she didn’t give up the goods. “So many people!” she says. “And that’s kind of the surprise, so I can’t really get in too deep.” The subject of health came up, and the singer offered a bit of advice. “I just think everybody should take care of themselves. Eat right. Drink water. Exercise. You know, keep your mind as positive as possible!”

Nicki Minaj Victim Of Swatting Over False Child Abuse & House Fire Claims

June 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Just last week, Nicki Minaj made a very exciting announcement to fans via Twitter – her next LP is nearly ready. It’s finally set to drop on October 20. The untitled project will be her first since 2018’s Queen. It’s already been teased with singles like “Super Freaky Girl” and “Red Ruby Da Sleeze.” It’s obvious that Minaj is doing what she can to keep her energy focused ahead of the big drop, but according to TMZ, some haters are seemingly doing what they can to throw her off.

On Monday (June 5), the Trinidadian received a visit from the police after child services received an anonymous call. Allegations claimed that Minaj is abusing her nearly three-year-old son, Papa Bear, along with her husband Kenneth Petty. Authorities took a trip to the “Barbie Dreams” hitmaker’s home around 6 PM. At this time they reportedly spoke with the couple and saw that their little boy is fine. Sources believe the call came in as an act of swatting (placing a prank call with the hope of drumming up police presence at someone’s home), which has become a serious problem across the nation.

Nicki Minaj Falls Victim to Swatting Prank

It would seem Minaj has left someone with a bad taste in their mouth, as that same day another call came in late at night, reporting that her home was on fire. This was later discovered to be completely false, same with recent similar incidents involving Adin Ross and Madison Beer. Insiders say that the fashionista doesn’t intend to let this stunt go unnoticed. Rather, she’s hired lawyers to expose the people behind the drama and hold them accountable.

Elsewhere in the news, Nicki Minaj was recently hit with a lawsuit for allegedly damaging borrowed jewelry. Her attorney has since dismissed the drama as a ploy for publicity, but time will tell how things play out for the Queen of Rap.

Jimmy Butler Moons Bam Adebayo During Press Conference

June 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The Miami Heat tied up the NBA Finals on Sunday night with a 111-108 victory over the Denver Nuggets. Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo were both key contributors in the victory, both scoring 21 points. Their stat lines were mirror images, with Butler adding 9 rebounds and 4 assists. Meanwhile, Adebayo contributed 4 rebounds and 9 assists. Furthermore, Adebayo was the last scorer of the game, sinking two free throws to put the up five with 45 seconds to go.

The NBA Finals continue in Miami on June 7, with both sides looking to take that all-important lead. However, Miami’s clutch win isn’t the only thing people are talking about in regard to Game 2. Turns out there’s a little bit of behind-the-scenes footage from the post-game press conference that’s going viral. Furthermore, the video shows a fun side to Butler and Adebayo’s off-court friendship. The pair have been teammates since 2019 when Butler joined the Heat. Adebayo was drafted by Miami in 2017. Additionally, they have both won Olympic medals with Team USA, just not together. Butler won his in 2016 and Adebayo took home gold in 2020.

— we not ass anymore (@BlSCAYNEBUCKETS) June 6, 2023

The video, which appears to come from Butler’s Instagram and has since been widely shared, shows Butler backstage at the Game 2 press conference. Bam Adebayo can be seen on stage, addressing the media. Butler turns around and drops his pants before beginning to try and attract Adebayo’s attention. Someone can be heard trying to call Butler off but the Miami star persists. Adebayo finally notices, presumably getting a full view of Butler’s ass before returning to the press conference and asking a reporter to repeat their question.

It’s a fun and wholesome moment. but not wholly unexpected. Butler is a well-known prankster. Last month, it was reported that Butler had developed a love of country music from one notable prank. Attempting to prank his college teammates with Tim McGraw’s “Don’t Take The Girl”, Butler ended up falling in love with the genre. Elsewhere, Butler’s infamous dreadlocks from preseason camp were also revealed to be a masterful troll from the NBA superstar. What do you think about Butler’s prank? Let us know in the comments.

Omar Epps & Marlon Wayans Reminisce Over 2Pac’s Out Of Pocket “Juice” Prank

March 14, 2023 by newhiphopnews

On The Daily Show, Omar Epps and guest host Marlon Wayans talked about 2Pac and recalled a prank that the rapper had performed during the filming of Juice. It had made Epps super mad at the time, but he now laughs back at it. They spent most of the segment talking about their history together as friends, and a little bit about Epps’ new book. Epps and Wayans were friends since childhood. At first, they did not like each other. However, after they fought each other and learned that they had the same fighting style, they became best friends.

Juice was Tupac’s second movie. The first was Dan Akyroid’s 1991 Nothing But Trouble. However, he was only a background character in that movie, so it does not really count. People had high hopes for Tupac’s acting career, with some even saying that he was a better actor than he was an actor. He would continue on to appear in five more movies and two tv episodes, before his passing in 1996, something that J. Prince believes could have been prevented.

2Pac’s Jokester Ways

Wayans explains that Tupac had a penchant for pranking the cast members. One time, Epps had fallen asleep with his mouth open, so Tupac pulled out his testicles and put them near his mouth. Epps admits he was very mad about it at the time, but he now finds it funny. He even admits that it would have gone viral if the internet was as massive back then as it is today. He also tells Wayans that he would be upset too if he woke up to find somebody’s testicles near his mouth.

2Pac was a big jokester. It does not matter when or where he was. He was always willing to play jokes on people. DJ Quik had this to say about him during a recent interview. “Outside of the studio, he was a jokester – bagging on n-ggas, joking, fun. We toured a little bit. He got in my ass one time too. We were about to get into a fight because he thought I was stealing his stage show — like when he would rap and jump up on the speakers.”
