Treach & Scarface’s “Special Bond” With 2Pac Gets Big Love From Suge Knight

December 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Suge Knight recently spoke on the bond that Treach and Scarface shared with 2Pac during the 1990s. “I wanna say this about Pac, I wanna say this about Treach, I wanna say this about Scarface. These three young men, as artists and men, have a bond that we need to teach and people need to use their model. Treach and 2Pac was road dogs. Still today, you can count on Treach to represent Pac. You can count on Treach to live with Pac far as he still represent that man. Same thing with Scarface … Face is gonna fuck with Pac no matter what, that’s why I was joyful when we did that song with Face and Pac, “Smile”,” Suge said on his podcast.

Suge didn’t express the same love for Snoop Dogg. In a previous episode of the podcast, Suge “demanded” answers from Snoop over Pac’s death. “As far as the Puffy situation, I really, really, really gotta have a real conversation with Snoop. I knew that ‘Pac did everything right by him by putting him on All Eyez On Me, speaking about him and being real with him. And if it’s true what they say, face-to-face it’s gonna be a lot of explaining to do,” Suge said. Furthermore, he claimed that Snoop did not travel to Vegas with the rest of the Death Row crew because “something was going to happen”.

Furthermore, last month, Suge made the claim that Deion Sanders was once part of Death Row Records. “Deion Sanders — when Prime wanted to be a rapper, he said: ‘I want to be a rapper. I spent over half a million dollars of my own money. I put guys in the studio, I paid Dallas Austin, I did all these songs — did everything. Then one day he came to me and said, ‘Well, y’know, Prime deal with Nike and Death Row is a Black-owned company, and we don’t really want to deal with a Black-owned company. Even though you paid for everything and we signed to you, put us on the Interscope brand’,” Suge told The Daily Cannon.

Sanders put out two albums – 1994’s Prime Time and 2005’s The Encore Remix. Prime Time even charted, reaching #70 on the Billboard Hip Hop chart and #14 on the US Heatseekers chart. However, it’s definitely brand-new information that the album could have originally come out under Suge’s iconic brand.

Derek Chauvin Family Stunned By Stabbing, Still Seeking Answers

November 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Derek Chauvin is someone that the majority of people online hate with a burning passion. Overall, this is because he is the officer responsible for the death of George Floyd. His trial was something that everyone was tuning in for. In the end, he was convicted of murdering the man and he was sentenced to a lengthy stay in prison. However, things went a bit awry for Chauvin recently as he was reportedly stabbed. This took place just a few days after his bid to appeal the decision was struck down.

Overall, many were kind of stunned by this news. Originally, it was said that he was in serious condition. Now, however, he has been put in stable condition. As we previously reported, his family found out about the news on social media. They were not made aware by the prison, which led to some confusion. Subsequently, his legal team is getting involved, according to TMZ. Gregory M. Erickson, Chauvin’s lawyer, is now trying to contact the prison for answers.

As it turns out, however, the prison is not responding to his calls. While the prison eventually let them know of his condition, they have yet to give any other details. For instance, no one knows who the inmate who did it was. Furthermore, there is no information surrounding what eventually led to the stabbing. His family continues to look for answers, but they cannot get any.

Let us know your thoughts on the situation, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from around the world. We will always be sure to keep you informed.

Derek Chauvin’s Mom Learned Of Son’s Stabbing From The News, Not Prison Officials

November 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Carolyn Pawlenty, the mother of convicted murderer Derek Chauvin, has spoken out after reportedly hearing of her son’s stabbing from the media and not prison officials. “How the hell do these news agencies know and his own mother doesn’t even know? I can’t even think what to say. I haven’t been to bed and made a path in my kitchen and living room floor by pacing,” Pawlenty lamented. This is despite Pawlenty claiming to be Chauvin’s emergency contact for events just like this. Furthermore, Chauvin’s attorney claims that the prison didn’t return a call he put in after the stabbing was revealed.

“How the family members who are in charge of Derek’s decisions regarding his personal medical care and his emergency contact were not informed after his stabbing further indicates the institution’s poor procedures and lack of institutional control,” the attorney stated. Prison doctors performed “life-saving measures” on Chauvin, who is now in a “stable condition“.

What We Know About The Derek Chauvin Stabbing

Chauvin was stabbed by another inmate at FCI Tuscon on Friday. According to an anonymous source who spoke with the AP, the medium security facility is “notorious” for security lapses and severe understaffing. However, prison officials have not revealed the identity of the attacker, nor the identity of his attacker. However, prison officials believe that Chauvin will survive the attacker. Despite this, it remains unclear if he will remain at FCI Tuscon or will be transferred to a new facility.

Earlier in the week, the Supreme Court formally denied Chauvin’s appeal. Chauvin is now expected to serve his full 21-year sentence. The crux of the appeal relied on the idea that the protests that emerged as a result of George Floyd’s murder “intimidated” jurors in Chauvin’s case into finding him guilty. Chauvin also pled guilty in his case. However, he has since claimed to have found evidence showing that he was not Floyd’s cause of death. However, the fallout of his stabbing is a developing story and we’ll have any updates as and when they emerge.

Derek Chauvin In Stable State After Jail Stabbing: Report

November 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Derek Chauvin, the former police officer who is incarcerated for the murder of George Floyd, was recently stabbed in federal prison in Arizona on Friday (November 24). This news shocked many, as he supposedly remained in protective custody, but it nonetheless opened up the floodgates of discussion. Moreover, following about a day of debate, the Minnesota Attorney General’s office provided an update on the situation on Saturday (November 25). It relayed that they are aware of the assault and that Chauvin is in stable condition. Still, very little details emerged alongside this story, and we don’t know as of writing this article what the nature of this incident consisted of.

Furthermore, A.G. Keith Ellison provided a statement to CNN about the stabbing. “I am sad to hear that Derek Chauvin was the target of violence,” he expressed. “He was duly convicted of his crimes and, like any incarcerated individual, he should be able to serve his sentence without fear of retaliation or violence.” The former cop recently lost his chance at another appeal in the George Floyd case to change his sentence, which is the only context that we have regarding this attack.

Still, despite conspiracy theories flying around over this, there is still a lot of healing and processing to do when it comes to this case and the issues of Black U.S. citizens as a whole. Back in May, George Floyd’s sister LaTonya explained what her emotional state was regarding Derek Chauvin. “America might think I’m cr*zy for saying this, but I have to get this off my chest,” she said to FOX 26. “At this point, three years down the line, I do forgive Derek Chauvin for what he did. It’s not okay that he did it, okay? But I have to forgive him in order to move forth with my life. I’ve been running around in circles, he’ll tell you, I have been going through a whole lot. If that higher power don’t forgive us, we’re nothing, we’re lost, we’re out of there.

“I can’t keep living my life with this anger that’s going to form to hate, such as he had,” she went on. “It’s going to lead to me doing something like that because I’m mad, I’m angry. I can’t live with that in me. So I pray for him and I pray that he finds peace within himself. I pray that next time he kneel down, he’s kneeling down to help someone up and not hold them down. God has a plan for everybody. I pray for Derek and I do forgive you. If you are listening, may the peace of God be with you man.” This process doesn’t excuse his evil, but it provides a path forward for those looking to recover and heal from it.

Derek Chauvin Has Reportedly Been Stabbed In Prison

November 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In a shocking turn of events, Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd, has reportedly been stabbed by another inmate at a federal prison in Arizona, leaving him seriously injured. This incident unfolded at the Federal Correctional Institution in Tucson. The prison is a medium-security prison notorious for security lapses and understaffing. According to a source close to the matter who spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity.

The attack occurred on Friday (Nov. 24th) at approximately 12:30 p.m. local time. The Bureau of Prisons verified that an incarcerated individual was assaulted at FCI Tucson and stated that responding staff swiftly contained the incident. Life-saving measures were administered before the unnamed inmate was transported to a hospital for extensive treatment and evaluation. The identity of the assailant remains undisclosed, and the motive behind the attack is yet to be officially confirmed. As news of the incident broke, it reignited discussions about the safety and security measures within federal correctional facilities. However, particularly at a time when high-profile inmates such as Chauvin are in custody.

The stabbing incident adds a new layer to Chauvin’s legal saga, as he serves his sentence for the high-profile murder of George Floyd. Moreover, while incarcerated, Chauvin now faces not only the consequences of his conviction but also the harsh reality of the prison environment. Social media reacted to the incident with mixed comments. “When you do wrong, wrong will find it’s way back to you I fear.” “Nah I gotta call the other prisoner and ask him why he ain’t finish the job now???” another question. “Wish this was yesterday so I could say this is what I’m thankful for,” another person said.

As developments in this alarming incident continue to unfold, questions arise about the effectiveness of security protocols within the prison system. And the challenges faced by those responsible for maintaining order. However, Chauvin’s stabbing serves as a stark reminder of the complexities and dangers associated with incarceration. Even for those who were once on the other side of the law. Stay tuned on HNHH for more stories!

Celebrity Thanksgiving Meals: Tory Lanez, R. Kelly, And Suge Knight All Eat Pumpkin Pie In Prison

November 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

When the holiday season rolls around in the final months of the year, it’s hard not to find yourself in a festive mood – even from behind bars. Several famous faces know that all too well after spending several years locked up in prison, but others, like Tory Lanez, are spending their first-ever Thanksgiving in the slammer. The Canadian got a taste of Christmas while incarcerated in 2022, but this time around, he’s getting the full experience, and TMZ managed to get the details on what he’s eating to celebrate the annual holiday.

Much like his listeners, Lanez indulged in some roast turkey, mashed potatoes, and gravy on Thursday (November 23). Other fixings on the menu at California Correctional Institution Tehachapi include cornbread dressing, diced carrots, a dinner roll, green salad, cranberry sauce, and of course, pumpkin for dessert. While he’s serving his time at San Diego’s Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility, the outlet notes that Suge Knight ate the same meal as the “Say It” hitmaker.

R. Kelly Spends Another Thanksgiving Behind Bars

Elsewhere, R. Kelly has become a seasoned pro at prison Thanksgiving by now. He’s staying at North Carolina’s FCI Butner Medium I, where he was fed roast turkey, baked candied sweet potatoes, cornbread dressing, green beans, cranberry sauce, dinner rolls, and pie. In addition to the festive meal, prisoners at various institutes were also partaking in games like bingo, checkers, chess, and relay races to help brighten their moods.

Celebrities spending their holiday season behind bars have little say in what meals they’ll be indulging in, but those on the outside aren’t just sharing photos of their plates with fans on Instagram. For the 2023 season, Quavo is going all out by sharing a cookbook full of family recipes with us. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Sexyy Red Sparks Controversy With Prison-Themed Music Video

November 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

A new clip of Sexyy Red filming an upcoming music video has gotten fans talking, but unfortunately, it’s for all the wrong reasons. In the clip, the St. Louis native is seen on a prison-themed set, surrounded by extras dressed up as inmates. “Free my n***a,” she repeats in the song, potentially referring to the father of her child who’s famously behind bars.

Social media users have been critical of the message of the video. Many note how it seemingly makes light of a serious subject. Several users are also taking issue with the fact that it could work to perpetuate negative stereotypes of African Americans. Sexyy Red’s no stranger to controversy, but some think she crossed the line with this track, and are finding it difficult to support.

Sexyy Red Accused Of Perpetuating Negative Stereotypes

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

“I was rocking with her but this has gone too far,” one Instagram commenter says. “I wish they free him already,” another writes, “I’m ready for her to rap about something else.” There are some users coming to Sexyy Red’s defense, claiming that the track and accompanying video align with her brand, so people shouldn’t be surprised. “Let that girl do her and mind her business,” one fan says. “Money is to be made pregnant or not.”

This isn’t the only hot water Sexyy Red’s found herself in lately, however. Earlier this month, a ballet instructor shared a TikTok detailing her experience working with 5-year-old students. She called attention to the fact that they were requesting to hear Sexyy Red’s explicit music in class, demanding that parents do better. The rapper responded, advising the instructor to allow the children to listen to her if they want, and telling her to “stfu.” She went on to say, “Ima make some kidz bop songs for yall fr,” but her response earned her some backlash regardless. What do you think of Sexyy Red filming a music video on a prison set? Do you think she deserves the backlash she’s getting, or are social media users overreacting? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Fetty Wap Explains Turning To Drug Dealing, Says 50 Cent Taught Him To Invest His Money

November 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Fetty Wap says he decided to turn to drug dealing for money when his popularity in hip-hop began to decline. Speaking with XXL for a candid new interview, he admitted that he made the “cowardly” decision, rather than “going harder to make people listen.”

“Nobody made me do it. Nobody forced me to do it,” he admitted. “When I put myself in that situation, I ain’t really think for the long run. I’m thinking I could just run up a few million dollars, and I’m gon’ be good forever. When I wanted to start doing shit, this is what I know how to do. It was like, ‘I’m being honest with myself.’ Like, ‘Aight, the music wasn’t really doin’ that good’…. Instead of pursuing my career harder or going harder to make people listen, I was a coward… and I was just like, ‘I can’t let my family down.’”

Fetty added that, regardless of his incarceration, he’s still sticking to his word and taking care of his family. He explained: “It was like, ‘Man, like, I got y’all [my family]. I’m never gonna let y’all fail.’ But if I gotta be away for however long, y’all gon’ be good no matter what. Personally, I feel like I stuck to my word. I tell people all the time I’m in jail. I’m locked up, but I’m not fucked up. I’m takin’ care of my whole family from jail still. That shit don’t stop. I mean, what I was doing stopped. Let me clear that up. But as far as takin’ care of my family, I found different outlets in here. Different people that helped me.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Fetty explained that 50 Cent helped show him other ways to stay financially stable legally. “He started showing me different ways, like shit to invest in,” he recalled. After being arrested in 2021, Fetty pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess and distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine a year later.

Sheff G, Nas EBK, And Smooky MarGielaa Perform At Rikers After Squashing Beef

November 19, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Sheff G, Nas EBK, and Smooky MarGielaa have reportedly squashed their beef after being seen performing at Rikers together. The video has quickly gone viral and spent a significant amount of time trending at #1 on Youtube. However, some have questioned the claims made by reporting outlets. “None of these guys ever had beef,” one person noted on social media. Before his incarceration, Sheff had gone to some lengths to squash some beefs. However, it appears that he has continued that trend on the inside.

Sheff has been incarcerated since May of this year. He, along with 31 associates, was found guilty of several shooting incidents, including one murder, over the last two years. Meanwhile, NAS EBK was found guilty of first-degree murder back in March. Additionally, Smooky has been jailed since 2022 on a second-degree murder charge. However, we hope that their fellow prisoners at the notorious New York prison enjoyed the impromptu show.

Rot Ken Posts New Prison Photos

A post shared by DJ Akademiks (@akademiks)

Someone else showing out from prison is Rot Ken. Ken, currently serving 20 years in prison for burglary, dropped some new photos showing off prison life. The small collection of images shows Ken chilling in his cell with another inmate. Furthermore, several images show Ken improvising a shiesty out of a white shirt. Additionally, several full-body images appear to show that Ken has drawn a custom Nike swoosh on his prison sandals.

As mentioned, Ken is currently doing a 20-year sentence for armed burglary. He was originally arrested back in June on a double murder charge dating back to April. However, he was sentenced to the two-decade stint on armed burglary charges dating back to 2021. Furthermore, he is ineligible for parole until 2032. That is if the June murder charges don’t amount to any additional time behind bars. He is currently being held at the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification State Prison. While Ken is only facing incarceration, the GDCSP is also home to Georgia’s state execution chamber.
