Sexyy Red Was Terrified After A Hilarious Encounter With A ‘Demonic Ghost’ On The ‘Punk’d’ Reboot

October 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Sexyy Red is a daredevil. On songs like “Hellcats SRTs” and “I’m The Sh*t,” she brags about living on the edge.

She lives for a good adrenaline rush but yesterday (October 10), on the Punk’d reboot Punk You, Sexyy Red showed there is something she fears — the supernatural. During the show’s latest episode, the “F My Baby Dad” rapper hilariously comes face-to-face with the afterlife.

Sexyy Red attempts to enjoy a moment away from work obligations. However, her downtime with friends and family is quickly turned on its head when the wooded Texas mansion becomes a haunted house. Even when a friend suggests a night out on the town, Sexyy Red doesn’t jump at the opportunity.

“I’m stressed out tonight,” said the friend. “I need to go out. See some big-booty freaks.”

But Sexyy Red just couldn’t shake the home’s aura. “I’m getting weird feelings and stuff,” she said. “I’m getting chills. Nah, this is weird.”

Eventually after a few creepy incidents, Sexyy Red spots a “demonic ghost.” She hilariously tries to make an escape, but with her team in on the joke, she’s stuck to face her fear.

Watch the full episode of Sexyy Red being pranked on Punk You above.

Sexyy Red Screams In Fear While Getting Pranked For “Punk’d” Reboot

Even the mother of Sexyy Red recently went wildly viral, so it’s no surprise that pranking the St. Louis femcee would be a hot Internet moment. Moreover, this was for Punk You, the YouTube series rebooting the legendary Punk’d prank show. Basically, what happened was that Sexyy went to a Texas mansion in the woods with her friends and family, hoping to stay there for a few days. They quickly realize that something’s off about the place, with them being creeped out by the forest around them and wanting to go out. You can even see the rapper get goosebumps before some flickering lights and an image of a little girl on the TV fully freak her out.

You can find a snippet of the prank in the tweet down below, but if you want to watch the full thing, click on the second “Via” link further down below. It was a pretty hilarious moment overall, and it contrasts some recent criticism that Sexyy Red got for joking around with her friends. Folks thought that they singled out one woman for her looks, but she explained that they just have that type of humor. Regardless of what you thought about that debacle, it doesn’t make this prank any less amusing.

Elsewhere, Sexyy Red is still churning out bangers and promotional material to maintain her dominance in the rap game right now. The “U Kno What To Do (UKWTD)” artist probably has a lot more on the way, and we wouldn’t be surprised if she closes 2024 out with another big drop. Maybe she instead focuses on her extracurricular resume, such as show appearances like these or her WWE partnership. Either way, we can’t see how 2025 wouldn’t be another big year for the Hood Hottest Princess.

However, it’s not like all this success hasn’t come with its fair share of social media speculation and gossipy drama. For example, Sexyy Red is still cheekily playing along with the “love triangle” between her, Chief Keef, and King Von’s sister Kayla B. At the end of the day, its vagueness and lack of clarity is kind of the point. But she knows exactly how to play that game.

Jim Jones Says Dr. Dre “Punked” Him During Dipset Studio Session

April 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jim Jones recently incited some potential bad blood between Dipset and Dr. Dre after saying he’ll charge the star producer $2 million if he ever releases the songs they recorded together. Moreover, these revelations came from an interview with The Amazing AllHipHop podcast. While the Harlem MC recalled a “great night” in the studio with Dre, he went on to express some harbored feelings of frustration. “That was a great night in Hip Hop, a great night for the Diplomats,” the “We Fly High” hitmaker expressed. “I had a little studio on 28th street, and Dr. Dre was trying to recreate his new sound for his new album at the time, and we had that sound. Came to my studio, me and Cam did like four records in there. Juelz came and did a record at the end.

“We did about four or five records with Dr. Dre,” Jim Jones continued. “I don’t know what he ever did with the records. Yeah, he did them directly to his hard drive so we had a copy of it to listen to and s**t like that. Truthfully, he better not put it out ’cause I’m charging $2 million for my verse.

Jim Jones Felt Punked By Dr. Dre

“It was the first time I ever had somebody really make me do my verse over like 20 times. The first time I got a piece of that, it had made me think about 2Pac and Snoop. All the others that had to get the beats from Dre. Dre was punking n***as like, ‘Man, go back in there and spit that s**t over, bro. You bugging the f**k out.’ Every time he told me, ‘Nah nah, do that over, man.’

“Like bro, you’re cursing at me,” the Diplomat stated. “You don’t even know you’re cursing at me. You’re punking the s**t outta me right now. ’Cause n***as is looking at me like, ‘You’re telling Capo to do his s**t over? This is crazy.’ N***a, you f***ing it up for me.” Regardless of those studio woes, we’ll see if this manifests into a reconciliation and a release.

Omarion Recalls Getting Punk’d By Bow Wow At 19

March 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Many have fallen victim to Ashton’s Kutcher’s orchestrated pranks on the popular 2000s’ series Punk’d. The gut-punching MTV classic memorably captured the faces of rap stars like Missy Elliott and OutKast as they became the butt of practical jokes. In 2003, the show aired an episode featuring R&B singer Omarion. The usually “unbothered” singer was 19 years old when he was set up by his manager Chris Stokes and rapper Bow Wow. Bow, who was Omarion’s best friend at the time, initially set up the scheme having fallen victim two episodes prior.

The scene took place at a luxe Hollywood villa, where Omarion and Bow Wow were “invited” by a group of women. One in particular, the homeowner’s daughter, proceeded to cozy up to the former B2K star poolside. She later went on to rub his shoulders as her play father marches out, visibly upset. The Italian actor then delivers an Oscar-worthy performance as he lashes out at Omarion for allegedly touching his daughter. Despite the outrageous outburst, he keeps his cool until the very end. The hilarious moment was remembered by Hollywood Unlocked, whose throwback post sparked a response from Omarion himself.

The reality star jumped in the comments as he relived the moment with fans. “Context. I was 19yo and set up with a back rub,” Omarion remembers. “First they got me comfy & then [c]onfusion & anxiety [sad face emoji].” One user comments that although the teen was clearly scared, “he was so respectful… my boy was raised right!!!!” He also apologizes to his mom in the reply, whose grave he swore on during the prank. For those who don’t know, Omarion’s mother is still alive and well. The singer laughs it off, writing “Not sure why I put that on my mommy. Sorry momma.”

With many resurgences of Punk’d over the past decade, it’s clear no celebrity is safe. 2012’s revival of the antic-driven series saw Tyler, the Creator and Nick Cannon hosting as they pranked their celebrity peers. In 2020, Punk’d’s 11th season began airing, which saw Megan Thee Stallion being pranked in the first episode. Reboot host Chance The Rapper guffaws at the hottie’s response to her stylist being chased by a gorilla. Moreover, other unforgettable moments from the season include appearances from Lil Nas X, Ty Dolla $ign, and Offset.

B.J. Novak Reminisces About Usher Hating Him After A Rapping ‘Punk’d’ Prank

July 29, 2022 by newhiphopnews

Today marks the theatrical release of B.J. Novak’s new movie Vengeance, in which he stars alongside Ashton Kutcher. It turns out Kutcher once gave Novak his big break on TV, as Novak appeared in a number of episodes of Punk’d in the early 2000s. Novak talked about that during an appearance on The Late Show yesterday and told a terrific story about pranking Usher.

Stephen Colbert mentioned the Punk’d connection and Novak noted Kutcher “changed my life with that show.” Colbert asked if the celebrities he helped prank ever got mad, and Novak was quick to respond, “Terribly mad, and here’s the problem: So I’m meeting all these celebrities for the first time, right? It’s thrilling for me. I’m meeting Missy Elliott, I’m meeting Usher; It’s the worst day of their life!”

He then got into the Usher prank that was on the Season 2 premiere (that aired on October 26, 2003), explaining the situation and how Usher acted after the reveal:

“My job once, I got to meet Usher, but my job was I was a store owner on Melrose and [Usher’s] little brother had been busted for shoplifting; he was in on it with us. And the only way I would let the brother go was if [Usher] recorded a rap jingle for my store, which I rapped for him. And he was like, ‘First of all, I’m not a rapper. Second of all, why does it refer to ‘Ice?” I’m like, ‘Well, we wanted Vanilla Ice.’ It’s a well-written show, I didn’t write the joke, it’s so funny.

So then he’s furious and then Ashton comes out and he’s like, ‘Bro!’ Like, it’s a huge hug. And I’m like [open arms gesture] and he’s like, ‘No no no no no.’ Like, your first impression of someone sticks, you know, so I have not run into Usher since. I don’t think he’ll be in my next movie.”
