Charleston White’s Insensitive Reaction To Foolio’s Tragic Death Goes Viral

June 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Charleston White reacted to the tragic death of Foolio in a video circulating on social media, on Sunday, during which he jokes about the location where the late rapper was shot and killed. Foolio was in Tampa to celebrate his 26th birthday at an Airbnb; however, he was kicked out for having too many people on the property. The group relocated to a nearby Holiday Inn, where Foolio was ambushed.

White began by claiming he expected Foolio to get shot eventually, before joking about where he was when the shooting took place. “The Holiday Inn?” he asked emphatically. “What the f*ck? Ain’t no protection on a n***a at the Holiday Inn. They ain’t even got valet parking.” From there, he remarked that Foolio “works hard to die.” Check out his full comments on the situation below.

Charleston White Speaks On Foolio’s Death

Foolio’s lawyer, Lewis Fusco, confirmed details of his client’s death in a statement he shared on Instagram, on Sunday. He wrote in part: “Mr. Jones had been in Tampa to celebrate his birthday over the weekend. Law enforcement reports indicate that he initially stayed at an Airbnb but was asked to leave due to exceeding occupancy limits. He subsequently relocated to the Holiday Inn, where he was involved in an incident in the hotel parking lot and reportedly ambushed. While these events involving our client, Mr. Charles Jones, have been disclosed by law enforcement, we are unable to provide further comments at this time until additional details become public record. We kindly request that the privacy of Mr. Jones and his family be respected during this difficult time.”

Prior to the shooting, Foolio had revealed that he was in Tampa for his birthday on his Instagram page. Tributes for him more heartfelt than White’s comments have been pouring in on social media throughout the day. Be on the lookout for further updates on Charleston White as well as Foolio on HotNewHipHop.

Joe Budden Asserts That Kendrick Lamar Did Use Bots During Drake Beef & He Couldn’t Care Less

June 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It seems clear that Drake fans are hanging onto this Kendrick Lamar debate by a thread. Over the last day or so, there has been some speculation surrounding the use of bots, particularly on the latter’s side. Of course, one of those Drizzy supporters who has been leading the charge has been DJ Akademiks. To try and make his case for how the Canadian artist technically won the battle, he brought on an alleged stream botter who was supposedly paid off by Lamar’s manager, Anthony Saleh. He had a screenshot of the Zelle transfer, equating to a $2500 payout. However, not a lot of people online are buying this, as it could very well be a hoax. But Joe Budden is one of those who actually believes that Kendrick Lamar did utilize bots.

A clip from today’s podcast, which is 734 deep, was shared on X moments ago debating this very topic. In the 40-second breakdown, Joe Budden goes as far as to claim that he knew Lamar was boosting his numbers to outpace Drake. While this is still all up in the air right now, it could leave a bit of a stain on how dominant Kung Fu Kenny was during the beef. However, if this true, Joe could not care less even if he really tried.

Joe Budden Believes Kendrick Did & Isn’t Shocked At All

In a completely flat and passionless delivery, the podcast host says, “Y’all didn’t know that Kendrick used bots? You thought that this was just the first time miraculously that a Drake record ever had more dislikes than likes or you didn’t know that was bots? Bots to me was a part of how you win the war versus Drake”. Budden also went onto to claim that Drake was also a culprit of bot usage during this, which is another interesting development. As expected, there were several Drake fans who were not happy with his take. “Bitter Budden strikes again. How u gunna sit there and act like botting streams is normal and accepted. Drake never had a chance with these fools”.

What are your thoughts on Joe Budden’s reaction to Kendrick Lamar allegedly using bots during the Drake beef? Are you surprised that he had such a passionless reaction, why or why not? Do you think Kendrick actually used the help of bots to boost streaming numbers? 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 Kendrick Lamar, Drake, and Joe Budden. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Chris Brown Seems To Chastise His Tour Team After Stage Wire Malfunction Leaves Him Stranded In Mid-Air

June 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Chris Brown’s been having a great time on his 2024 tour in support of last year’s album 11:11, but some nights are more frustrating than others. Moreover, a new clip emerged from his Tuesday night (June 11) show in New Jersey, in which technical difficulties during his performance of “Under The Influence” left him stranded in mid-air on suspension wires above dancers who didn’t notice the situation for a while. Eventually, staff arrived with a ladder to help Breezy down, and he unhooked himself and climbed back to safety to crowd cheers. However, he seemed irate, as it looks like he chastised a crew member before continuing his performance for fans.

Of course, this is small potatoes in the face of other conflicts that Chris Brown faced this year, as we know through his Quavo battle how his temper can get. Boosie Badazz recently spoke on this beef, naming Brown’s inclusion of Takeoff in the conversation as the moment when things really ramped up. While things didn’t turn to violence (and hopefully never do), Boosie thinks that this moment warranted that kind of response, or at least seemed to indicate it. It’s never justified, but it does kick things up a notch.

Chris Brown’s Frustrated Reaction To Wire Malfunction At New Jersey Tour Stop

he was pissed but didn’t ruin the experience for anyone pic.twitter.com/I9nJSplQ72

Elsewhere in relation to this tour, Chris Brown is seeing night in and night out how it’s bringing him a lot of success. This is especially relevant in the face of both fans and detractors that think the industry has blackballed him as of late, whether for right or wrong reasons in their eyes. The superstar doesn’t really seem to buy into this narrative either way, since he’s playing packed shows and still captivating audiences worldwide. It’s interesting, however, that he didn’t speak on narratives against him in a more combative way, like he’s done in the past.

This could indicate that the success behind the 11:11 tour, plus constant fan acclaim and engagement, is enough to keep Chris Brown satisfied. It’s a very understandable conclusion, as he remains one of the most beloved, albeit controversial, stars in the realms of rap and R&B. Add onto that the steep profits from meet and greets, and there isn’t much reason to complain. Unless, of course, you’re hanging from a faulty cable and folks don’t come to help you for a while.

📹 Kim Porter’s Father Reacts To Diddy Assaulting Cassie In Security Footage

June 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The disturbing security footage of Diddy assaulting Cassie at a hotel in 2016 that went viral last month continues to garner reactions online. In the footage, the Bad Boy Records founder is seen pulling the songstress to the ground, kicking her twice, then seemingly throwing a glass vase at her. For obvious reasons, many have condemned Diddy after seeing the footage. Social media users have also been looking back on his past relationships to determine if he’s guilty of abusing other former partners. His relationship with Kim Porter, who passed away from pneumonia in 2018 after having children with Diddy, has been a particularly hot topic.

As Diddy continues to face scrutiny, Porter’s father Jake decided to weigh in on the footage of Cassie’s assault. In an interview with Rolling Stone earlier this week, he revealed that he was horrified upon seeing it. “You can say I was disgusted with the video, and I wouldn’t treat my enemy like that,” he explained. “It was despicable… I couldn’t believe it. I was in Vietnam, and I wouldn’t do that to my enemy.”

Jake Porter Was “Disgusted” By Diddy & Cassie Footage

📹 Kim Porter’s <a href= — attends the “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art Of The In-Between” Costume Institute Gala at Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 1, 2017 in New York City.

Jake says that he has a “different outlook” on Diddy following the footage, and isn’t surprised that others do. “I didn’t know he could stoop that low,” Porter said. “I imagine it surprised a lot of people.” When asked whether or not he ever saw Diddy get violent with Kim, he said no. Jake also added that he’s never seen anything “to that extent.”

According to Jake, the footage made him “wonder” about his daughter’s relationship with Diddy. He also says his “heart goes out to Cassie.” What do you think of Kim Porter’s father Jake’s reaction to the footage of Diddy assaulting Cassie?

Travis Scott & Alexander “AE” Edwards’ Brawl Leaves Cher Proud: “He Finished It”

June 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last month, footage of a fight in Cannes between Travis Scott, Southside, and Alexander “AE” Edwards went viral. Early on, it was reported that Tyga also threw a few punches, though it was quickly clarified that he wasn’t directly involved despite having been nearby. Reportedly, it all started at Richie Akiva’s party when he gave them a shout-out that rubbed Scott the wrong way.

As a result, he smashed the microphone and stormed off, prompting Edwards to try to calm him down. Unfortunately, this didn’t work out in his favor, as Scott left and soon returned with his friend Southside. They all began to throw hands while Tyga sat unscathed behind a DJ booth. Nobody was seriously injured in the viral clash.

Cher Reacts To Her Boyfriend’s Viral Cannes Fight

I’m Proud of Alexander.
He Didn’t Start The fight
Against 2 Men,… He finished it, Gotta Love Him

— Cher (@cher) June 1, 2024

As the footage made its rounds online, countless social media users shared their thoughts on the brawl, making memes and revealing whoever they believed to be the winner. Now, fans have heard from the Goddess of Pop herself, Cher. While she may be a bit biased, as she’s been dating Edwards for almost a year, the performer thinks that he’s on the right side of things. She took to Twitter/X yesterday to weigh in on the drama, revealing that she’s “proud” of her man.

“I’m Proud of Alexander. He Didn’t Start The fight Against 2 Men,… He finished it, Gotta Love Him,” she wrote simply. This echoes what Edwards told TMZ shortly after the incident. “I don’t got no hard feelings. It is what it is, it went how it went, and that’s it,” he explained to the outlet. “I don’t want to fight, I don’t initiate that sh*t.” What do you think of Travis Scott and Alexander “AE” Edwards fighting in Cannes? What about Edwards’ girlfriend Cher’s reaction to the brawl? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Plies Breaks His Silence On Donald Trump’s Conviction

June 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Plies is one of Donald Trump’s most outspoken celebrity haters, so it’s no surprise he had some harsh words for the former president’s conviction in his hush money case. “Dear Black Folks:” the rapper’s message began on Twitter, which he then reposted on Instagram. “If U Want Lawmakers To Change The Law About Convicted Felons Being Able To Run For President. I’m About To Tell Everyone How To Fix It! All African Americans Convicted Felons Let’s Start Signing Up For Elections & Running! An Watch How Fast They Change That Law!” “It’s Not Hard To Fix!!!! [shrug emoji] #Plies,” the IG caption read.

Furthermore, Plies is far from the first person in the rap world to react to Donald Trump’s guilty verdict in one of a couple of his blockbuster court cases. For example, Ice-T also had some scathing shots for both No. 45 and his angry supporters, taking to Twitter to troll them a little bit. However, even those who make fun of Trump seem skeptical concerning his chances of actually doing jail time. After all, if the one thing he wasn’t able to sidestep was over hush money, that wouldn’t really make much sense.

Regardless, others like 50 Cent gleefully mocked the former president over this, whether for giggles or with an actual policy disagreement. It’s been very interesting to see how hip-hop received, treated, and evolved the image of Donald Trump in the culture, whether on wax or publicly. Things used to be way less serious about this before he became president, and some artists shifted their content to blast or endorse him. But if there’s anyone who’s been on the opposing side for the long run, it’s Plies.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump also has his fair share of endorsements and support within the rap game, such as a recent co-sign from New York drill exponents Sleepy Hallow and Sheff G. We’ll see how this continues to evolve as we get closer to the election. It already caused a lot of controversy and conversation, but that’s an expected consequence of political discourse. Maybe this conviction changes things for some people…

Ice T Responds To Donald Trump’s Conviction, Trolls Angry Supporters

May 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Hip-hop is reacting swiftly to Donald Trump’s conviction in his hush money case, and we’re sure his place in rap is pretty staunchly criticized… right? Well, anyway, at least Ice-T kept it short and simple with his response to the guilty verdict, and he also took some time to respond to some angry supporters of No. 45 who took issue with his jest. First, he posted a picture of a jail with one of the watch towers labeled as “Trump Tower” with the caption “The Internet is undefeated. But I doubt he ever does a day inside… Cold Game.” “Damn Ice. Looks like you picked your side,” one fan replied.

“I NEVER EVER liked dude… Criminals can spot Criminals,” Ice-T responded. “Has Ice t been to epstien [sic] island? [thinking face emoji],” another user clapped back, seemingly insinuating that his dislike of Donald Trump indicates his allegiance to the Illuminati or something like that. Conspiracy heads can fix that in the comments section down below. “Nope.. But I’ve been to your Mother’s house,” the Newark native retorted. It’s similar to how 50 Cent chose to clown Trump supporters for their anger over the verdict.

Ice-T Trolls Trump & His Fans

But we know that Ice-T is prone to giving out hot takes on pretty much anything, especially the massive rap beef between Kendrick Lamar and Drake that recently went down. “I’m sorry if I’m not interested in current Rap Beef or random Male Gossip…” he tweeted. “I’m a HUSTLER, I’m only focused on the Bag [money bag emoji].” Furthermore, this take surprised some fans, especially, considering the rapper and actor’s rap feuds with the likes of LL Cool J. But maturity makes everything 20/20 in hindsight, and we doubt that we won’t come to understand this perspective in our older age.

Meanwhile, Ice-T’s take on Lenny Kravitz’s celibacy also garnered backlash online. “Hey…If you’re a guy and you can voluntarily go 9yrs without sex… you’re following the wrong page,” he tweeted recently. “s**t’s weird to me. I love to f**k… A lot.” Maybe the Law & Order: SVU staple should’ve kept that last one in the drafts…

Boosie Badazz Reacts To Yung Miami’s Wild Diddy Golden Shower Claims

May 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that Yung Miami’s outspoken and unfiltered demeanor has a lot to do with her success, but evidently, it’s also earned her plenty of criticism. Occasionally, the City Girl will share something with fans that they think crossed the line. This is exactly what happened on a past episode of Caresha Please, in which Yung Miami opened up about some of her more shocking sexual preferences.

At the time, Yung Miami claimed that she was a fan of “golden showers,” leaving many viewers taken aback and disturbed. She’s since retracted the admission, however, admitting this week that it was simply an attempt to promote Resha Roulette. “A n***a NEVER EVER PEE’D on me! I did that to promote my card game [dollar sign eyes and tongue face emoji] & it did exactly what I needed to do!!” she wrote.

Boosie Badazz Is Not Here For Golden Showers

Unfortunately for Yung Miami, this did little to quell the backlash, as critics simply went on to slam her for saying something like that for attention. Many also speculated that she was just backtracking due to her potentially former fling Diddy’s current legal issues. Boosie Badazz shared his take on the debacle during a recent interview with VladTV, revealing that while he supports people’s rights to do whatever they want in the bedroom, he simply can’t get behind golden showers.

“When she said she liked to get peed on, that’s just…I don’t have no… I mean, I just don’t like how pee smell. I’m from the hood,” he explained. “I know it’s in the act of sex, but ain’t no piss coming around my sexual.” What do you think of Boosie Badazz’s take on Yung Miami’s now-debunked claims about her sexual preferences? Do you agree with him? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

DJ Akademiks Gets Dragged For Defending Donald Trump After Guilty Verdict

May 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier today, Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in an alleged hush-money scheme, in which he was accused of paying off adult film star Stormy Daniels in exchange for her silence on their alleged affair. He’s now the first president in U.S. history with a felony, and his sentencing has been scheduled for July. “This was a disgrace,” Trump said following the verdict. “This was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge who was corrupt.”

As reactions to the news continue to pour in, DJ Akademiks has taken to Twitter/X to share his take on Trump’s conviction. According to him, everyone is simply overreacting. Moreover, he admits that the guilty verdict has made him want to vote for Trump in the upcoming presidential election.
