A Look Back At Nicki Minaj & Safaree Samuels’ Relationship

October 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Nicki Minaj and Safaree were once one of Hip Hop’s most notable couples. While they have since split and moved on, they were undoubtedly a huge part of each other’s lives, both personally and professionally. Minaj now has a husband and child, and Samuels has two children with his now ex-wife, Erica Mena.

Safaree Samuels is actually the Queen of Rap’s longest-known relationship with a long history dating back to 2000. Earlier this year, news surrounding the pair sprung up yet again when Safaree mentioned a mystery woman in an interview. Fans speculated he was referring to Nicki Minaj, but Safaree quickly denounced those claims. From the grassroots of their musical partnership to Nicki’s epic breakthrough and establishing an undeniable legacy, the pair have been through quite a lot.

2000: Nicki Minaj & Safaree: The Come Up

Nicki Minaj and Safaree Samuels first met in Queens, New York, in 2000. They were aspiring rappers who both shared a mutual passion for Hip Hop. Prior to their professional journey together that kicked off a few years later, the pair started dating. Their partnership would eventually last for over a decade.

Before signing with Young Money Entertainment, Nicki Minaj was briefly a member of the rap group the Hoodstars, joining the collective in 2002. The group was made up of four rappers: Lou$tar, 7even Up, Nicki Minaj, and Scaff Beezy (Safaree Samuels). Minaj and Samuels soon left the group to pursue solo careers, but even while in Hoodstars, they were allegedly romantically involved. Even though they were both relatively unknown, they drew a line between their professional and personal relationship in public.

2004: Post-Hoodstars

Following their departure from Hoodstars, Minaj, and Samuels began trying to secure solo record deals. Minaj subsequently secured a short-term deal with Dirty Money Entertainment and started achieving solo success soon after. Safaree Samuels had not gotten a deal of his own but he stood by Nicki Minaj as her hype man at every performance. The professional part of their relationship had also become more prominent than ever before. However, they didn’t seem to have any issues balancing it out with their personal relationship.

2009: Breakthrough With Young Money

A pivotal point in Nicki Minaj’s career was when she signed with Lil Wayne’s Young Money Entertainment in 2009. Her popularity greatly increased, and she began to cement her place in the Hip Hop Hall Of Fame. Still, Safaree remained unsigned, but slowly began gaining prominence in the music industry. Safaree co-wrote on Minaj’s albums, Pink Friday (2010) and Pink Friday… Roman Reloaded (2012). He also contributed backup vocals on a handful of songs by Nicki Minaj, and he appeared in the music video for her song, “Stupid Hoe.” It was during this period that fans and the media started following Minaj and Samuels’ relationship closely.

2011: Signs Of Relationship Turmoil

Somewhere along the line, Nicki Minaj and Safaree Samuels’ relationship had started to sour. Nicki appeared to be constantly annoyed by Safaree in public, something many noticed almost instantaneously. There have been many speculations and theories about when, and why it started, but the first apparent sign was in July 2011. Nicki Minaj was reportedly involved in a scuffle with an unidentified man in a Dallas hotel. Allegedly, she was struck on her lower lip during the altercation. In the aftermath of the incident, when the police arrived, Minaj insisted on not pressing charges on her alleged attacker. While the person who attacked Minaj was unidentified, the public believes Safaree to be the one whom she had the scuffle with. The two strongly denied the claims on their respective social media pages.

2014: Nicki Minaj & Safaree Samuels Break Up

The rumors about tension in the couple’s relationship proved valid. While they still held things together for a while, it wasn’t long until their longstanding relationship came to an end. Although Safaree was actively involved in Minaj’s early mainstream success, her breakthrough was gargantuan and his career paled in comparison to hers. Consequently, the curtain was drawn on both their personal and professional relationship in 2014. In previous years, there had been rumors of the two breaking up, but in 2014, it was official. TMZ sources claimed that the reason the two broke up was because Safaree had grown uncontrollably jealous of Minaj’s success.

Post-Breakup

In the years that followed, the two heavily beefed each other on social media. Safaree, at one point, claimed to have written most of Nicki Minaj’s songs. The rapper has vehemently disputed the claim. She fired back, claiming Safaree was simply trying to tear her down.

These days, things are a lot less heated between the two, and they barely speak about one another anymore. In December 2022, Safaree acknowledged Nicki Minaj on her 40th birthday by posting an old picture of the rapper on his social media accounts. Since their fallout, both stars have forged on in their respective careers. Safaree Samuels now stars in Love & Hip Hop: Miami, after appearing in several other reality TV shows. Nicki Minaj’s fifth studio album, Pink Friday 2, is expected to drop later in 2023.

Cardi B And Offset Reflect On Their Steamy First Encounter

October 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

During a recent interview, Cardi B and Offset opened up about their first time meeting. According to the duo, who have been an item since 2017, they were attracted to each other from the very beginning. Offset says that he didn’t try to take things further with her right away though, out of respect for the NYC-born rapper. It’s clear, however, that their chemistry was undeniable.

“He invited me out to the club,” Cardi began. “He got right behind me and I felt him, you know, I felt him getting close to me. I felt his breath right here, and I’m like ‘oh my lord, oh Jesus Christ.’” From there, things only continued to heat up. The performer says that she wanted to keep things cool for the time being, despite Offset having taken her breath away.

Offset Didn’t Want To Move Too Fast

“The feelings is rushing through my body, I can’t breathe,” Cardi recalls. “But I’m gonna be strong and resilient, I’m not gonna give it to him right away.” Offset explains that he didn’t want to give her the wrong idea by trying to get intimate right away, so he held back. “I ain’t try off the rip,” he explained. “I ain’t even try. See, I respected her, you know. I knew she was thinking I was coming with that, but I respected her art, what she had going on, her hustle, what she was doing.” Cardi agrees, noting how he didn’t make that type of move “at all” before they were ready.

After secretly tying the knot the same year they met, Offset and Cardi B went on to have two children, Kulture and Wave. They duo continue to work together in both domestic life and in the studio, recently dropping off a single from Offset’s new album, “Jealously.” What do you think of Cardi B and Offset’s first time meeting?

Bad Bunny & Kendall Jenner Make Their Romance Instagram-Official

October 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

All the doubters and hopefuls got some bad news this week: Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny are officially together. Of course, that’s not really disheartening unless you’re a hardcore Benito fan who wanted him to avoid the Kardashian curse, you lust for one or the other, or had some other reason to hate on them. Regardless, the reality is that they seem quite happy together, and even became business partners by starring in Gucci’s new Valigeria campaign. Their reposts of it on their Instagram accounts made their relationship set in stone, yet there was never really any doubt as to whether they were serious. To be fair, Kendall just posted a picture of her for the campaign as a post, but they both posted content together on their Stories.

Moreover, the two were spotted all over: double dates, horseback riding, fashion shows, concerts, sporting events, and so much more. Still, Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner haven’t said much about their fling, and their tight-lipped nature meant for some fans that they weren’t really serious. However, we now know that the Puerto Rican superstar just wants to keep those things private, and the model probably agrees. If nothing else, they definitely made this Gucci campaign a buzzing topic online, and that promo is nothing to complain about for anyone involved.

In addition, it also added an extra layer of speculation and mystery to pretty much anything either of them do. For example, Bad Bunny’s new music video for his song “UN PREVIEW” is (according to Twitter Stans) filled with references to Kendall Jenner. The main thing to consider with this interpretation is the horse theme, which could allude to her recent Stella McCartney gig. It’s a bit of a stretch, but we’ll take it. After all, the reggaetón hitmaker inspires that allure everywhere he goes, and where she goes is no different.

Meanwhile, all fans wait on now is just a little more insight into their bond, which could come in due time. For now, though, they seem pretty private on the personal end, although making things official through a brand partnership is a solid way to hard-launch it. We wish them the best either way. For more news and updates on Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner, stay posted on HNHH.

Who Has Travis Kelce Dated?

September 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Travis Kelce has been blowing up all over the media these last few days thanks to his rumored relationship with Taylor Swift. Although the Kansas City Chiefs star and the pop sensation have been pretty tight-lipped about what exactly is going on, the speculations are plentiful. However, it’s not all rosy, especially for the athlete, whose ex-girlfriend Maya Benberry has accused Kelce of being a cheater. Nonetheless, as the pair forge ahead, Swift’s excited cheering at one of his games is all the proof some need.

Indeed, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are known to light up stadiums for a living. However, whether they’ve lit up each other’s hearts is still up for question. In the meantime, there’s some renewed interest in both their dating portfolios. While Swift is known to write songs about her exes, Kelce’s dating history isn’t as talked about. In fact, Kelce’s probably just as much of a lover as she is, and once dated 50 women at the same time!

Maya Benberry

In 2016, Travis Kelce became one of the nation’s biggest heartbreakers. In the same fashion as The Bachelor, the star athlete was the central figure on the dating show, Catching Kelce on E!. The point of the reality competition was to- you guessed it- catch Kelce’s heart. 50 women from 50 states participated to win the tight end’s tight heart. After multiple dates and love confessions, Kentucky’s Maya Benberry emerged victorious.

Unfortunately, their relationship didn’t last, and the pair split up within the same year. Things heated up soon after, as Benberry posted a series of cryptic tweets that alleged that Kelce cheated on her. The tweet has since been deleted but was captured by The Shade Room. Since their split, the pair have pretty much stayed away from each other. While Kelce has continued on in his professional football career, Benberry is now a beauty blogger.

Kayla Nicole

Travis Kelce and Kayla Nicole had an on-again off-again relationship that lasted five years. Between 2017 and 2022, the couple enjoyed a lot of media attention and attended numerous events together. Nicole has a broadcast journalism degree from Pepperdine University and is a vibrant sports journalist. Beyond this, Nicole also has a thriving modeling career and is a fashion and beauty influencer on Instagram.

Kelce insta-flirted for months on Instagram before Nicole worked her way up to sending him a DM. Neither of them revealed the real reason why their relationship came to an end. The rumors carried by the media were always debunked, however, with both parties respecting each other online. Furthermore, both parties seemed to have moved on, and this breakup appears to be final.

Zuri Hall

Popular host, Zuri Hall was rumored to be linked to Travis Kelce around the fall of 2022. Hall was seen in a suite at a Kansas City Chiefs game, which created a minor media frenzy at the time. However, neither party has confirmed or denied they were ever in a relationship. As of January 2023, Kelce shared on The Pivot podcast that he was in fact, single, putting an end to the rumors.

Travis Kelce & Taylor Swift

As mentioned, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift have been revealed to be hanging out. Nonetheless, it’s too soon to tell whether the pair are romantically linked, or if it’s heading anywhere. Meanwhile, Kelce’s jersey sales have increased significantly since the rumors began. Since both are major stars in their respective professions, the media is lying in wait for a confirmation of a relationship. Until then, the speculations will continue to grow.

September 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

2023 has been a year of celebrity breakups, and Joe Jonas and Game of Thrones alum, Sophie Turner are the latest couple to call it quits. After what was dubbed a fairytale romance between the two, the announcement of their split caught many by surprise. Joe Jonas being the one to file for divorce also caused quite a stir. As the rumors continue to fly, there’s no concrete reason as to why they’ve decided to part ways. The couple share two children, and seemed to have been happily married for the last four years. Thus, this recent development in their relationship has left fans stunned. As the couple are moving on with their lives, fans can only travel through memory lane for a glimpse into their relationship.

In true modern fashion, the spark of their relationship was first ignited in 2016 via Instagram when Jonas slid into Turner’s DM. Turner shared with Harper’s Bazaar UK that even though they followed each other, they had never communicated. “We were following each other on Instagram and he direct-messaged me one fine day, out of the blue,” she said. Although they shared mutual friends, who had tried to get them together, it hadn’t panned out until the direct message.

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner began their relationship soon after their first date in 2016. They had spoken for a bit via Instagram, and Jonas soon invited Turner on a small outing with friends while he was on tour, and passing through the UK. They felt a strong connection on that first meeting, and Turner has since shared that from that day, she felt like she had met the right person. The two got into an exclusive relationship soon afterward.

By 2017, they made their relationship Instagram official before revealing they got a dog together. Then, about a year after they started dating, the couple announced, via matching Instagram posts, that they’d gotten engaged. The couple posted the photo on October 15, 2017. It was received with excitement by fans of the two, and created significant media buzz. On May 1, 2019, the couple had a private wedding ceremony in Las Vegas. It was held after they attended the Billboard Music Awards ceremony earlier that night.

The following month, on June 29, they had a second, more formal wedding ceremony in France. The latter was the more elaborate and glamorous of the two ceremonies, and attracted significant media coverage. A year after their high-profile wedding ceremony in France, the couple welcomed their first child, Willa, born in July 2020. Their second child together, whose name has not been revealed, was born two years after her sister, in July 2022.

Joe Jonas also made a musical comeback with The Jonas Brothers while dating Sophie Turner. The couple also were fairly open about relationship, while maintaining their personal privacy. Turner famously appeared in The Jonas Brothers’ “Sucker” video. She joined Nick’s wife Priyanka Chopra, and Kevin’s wife Danielle Jonas as the three muses of the video. The pair also enjoyed many public sightings together, as well as showering each other with love on social media.

Joe Jonas Files For Divorce

Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner confirmed their divorce in a joint statement on September 5, 2023. “After four wonderful years of marriage we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage,” the statement reads. “There are many speculative narratives as to why but, truly this is a united decision and we sincerely hope that everyone can respect our wishes for privacy for us and our children.”

Still, spectators remain curious. One of the rumors making the rounds is that Turner wants to move permanently to the UK. Another, per TMZ, claims that he had access to ring cam footage that “captured Sophie saying and/or doing something that made him realize the marriage was over.” In addition to this, there are claims that Jonas and Turner are not a fan of each other’s lifestyle habits. Nonetheless, these are baseless, as either party has yet to reveal a reason for their split. The media, and fans of the couple will have to remain patient to find out what happened. That is however, if either of the two eventually decide to share.

September 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West and his new wife Bianca Censori have been known to make headlines for outlandish outfit choices, unexpected behavior, and more. The couple appears to be getting closer than ever on their Italian getaway, however, reports suggest that friends are worried. Page Six claims a source described the model as being isolated from her loved ones amid their romance, and not acting like herself. They also claim that friends are “extremely concerned” for Censori in the relationship.

“Bianca is stuck,” the source begins. “And her friends are trying to save her, but no one can because of the blockades Kanye has put up [around her].” They continued, “This isn’t who she is. She is an incredibly outspoken and lively person who is never one to keep her mouth shut.” They add that the relationship “is so scary,” because she doesn’t have anyone in her life to fall back on. The concerning reports also follow a recent incident which saw the couple photographed amid what looked to be a sexual act.

At the end of last month, Ye and Censori were captured on a riverboat, and Ye had his pants down. As expected, the wardrobe malfunction managed to get social media users talking. Some reports eventually surfaced suggesting that Ye’s ex, Kim Kardashian, was worried for Censori.

“Kim is watching the situation with Kanye and Bianca open-mouthed,” a source told Closer Magazine. “She can’t believe how reminiscent it is of how Kanye was with her.” The source further adds that Kim “can see Bianca being (molded) into Kanye’s ideal of the perfect woman.” Kim and Kanye’s divorce process has gotten pretty ugly in the past, and it looks like he could be repeating some of the same mistakes with Censori. Everything is purely speculation for now, however, and nobody truly knows what’s going on aside from Censori and Ye. Keep an eye on HNHH for more updates on Bianca Censori and Kanye West.

Kim Kardashian Hopes To “Talk Sense” Into Ye’s Wife Bianca Censori Before It’s “Too Late”: Report

September 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

There have been a number of conflicting reports surrounding Kim Kardashian’s reaction to Kanye West’s recent trip to Italy. Earlier this week, the multi-hyphenate was caught with his a*s hanging out while his wife, Bianca Censori, in Italy. Some reports claimed that Kim was devastated while others said that she didn’t care. Either way, Kanye’s actions still managed to get a reaction out of her. However, according to a new report, Kim seemingly wants to have a face-to-face conversation with Censori.

Per Closer Magazine, Kim Kardashian seems to see a lot of herself in Bianca Censori these days. According to a source, that’s especially the case when it comes to how Kanye treats her. “Kim is watching the situation with Kanye and Bianca open-mouthed and she can’t believe how reminiscent it is of how Kanye was with her,” one source said. It’s no secret that Ye’s used the women in his life as a muse. However, it’s much more harmful than it seems, the source said.

Kim Kardashian “Spooked” By Ye & Bianca Censori’s Relationship

The insider added that Ye’s trying to turn Censori into his version of an ideal woman. “She says she can see Bianca being (molded) into Kanye’s ideal of the perfect woman,” the source added. “She thinks it’s worrying that Kanye did not learn his lesson and that he feels it’s OK to treat people like this.” The source added that Kim is “spooked” since it seems that Ye is putting Censori through the same things he put his ex-wife through.

“Kanye is extremely passionate about fashion, but it can become an obsession, with the X-rated outfits and the OTT looks becoming really tough to deal with,” the source continued. This is in reference to some of Censori’s revealing fashion choices in recent times. “In Kim’s opinion, all the fame or exposure in the world isn’t worth being someone else’s puppet,” the source added. “She feels she owes it to Bianca to try to open her eyes and talk sense into her before it’s too late.” We’ll keep you posted with any more updates surrounding the situation.

Lizzo And Myke Wright Are Still Together, Spokesperson Claims

August 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

For those who don’t know, the past couple of weeks have been intense for Lizzo, to say the least. The songstress was hit with a lawsuit from some former backup dancers, who accused her of sexual harassment and creating a hostile working environment. She was additionally accused of body-shaming one of the dancers, going against everything Lizzo’s preached to fans over the years. Amid the fallout, internet sleuths also noticed that Lizzo had unfollowed her partner, Myke Wright, who she’s been with for approximately two years.

He unfollowed her too, and she went on to delete all photos of him on her social media profiles. This, of course, led users to speculate. Despite rumors that they could have split amid her newfound legal trouble, they’re apparently still very much an item. A spokesperson for the “Juice” performer spoke with DailyMail today (August 11), to set the record straight. They told the outlet that there is “no truth” to claims that the couple has broken up, squashing speculation.

Lizzo And Myke Wright

Reportedly, a source added fuel to the fire earlier this week when they told The Sun that they had split. “Lizzo has taken the past few weeks very hard and her relationship has suffered,” they claimed, “They had a big falling out earlier in the week and she is really upset.” The source continued, “Both of them have thought of themselves as soulmates, so it has been really hard on them. Those close to them are hoping they will make up.”

Fortunately for Lizzo, it looks like she still has Wright in her corner. Things have only been compounded this past week, as it was reported that six additional former dancers came forward with allegations against the artist. They claim that they have “similar stories” to the first ones to come out, accusing Lizzo of subjecting her employees to a “sexually charged environment.”

August 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

After welcoming their bundle of joy in July, Da Brat and her partner, Jesseca Harris-Dupart, have finally unveiled photos of their baby, True Legend Harris-Dupart. The pair shared the photos of their baby boy in an exclusive spread with PEOPLE. Throughout the heartwarming photoshoot, Da Brat and Dupart seem to be overjoyed and beaming with excitement. Their son was dressed to match his parents with a gray hat, white shirt, gray joggers, and white socks.

Da Brat opened up to PEOPLE about her journey with motherhood and dealing with a high-risk pregnancy. “I’m 49, I’m high-risk, I have high blood pressure,” she said. “So many women so much younger than me want kids and can’t have them, and I had a successful pregnancy. It’s just an honor. He’s such a blessing.”

The So So Def rapper also spoke about the process of vitro fertility IVF treatments. Da Brat used her wife’s eggs and sperm from an anonymous donor to become pregnant, which took place after she had a miscarriage. “I think God plans out our journey,” she said. “I’m very happy He saw fit for me to have him.” Following the birth of their son, the Chicago rapper told the aforementioned outlet upon giving birth: “I can’t BELIEVE he came out of me! Feels like a dream. He’s PERFECT in every way.”

In other related news, Da Brat has much to celebrate these days. She recently celebrated the 29th anniversary of her debut album, Funkdafied. The nine-track album was released in the summer of 1994, establishing her as a pioneering female MC. In those days, selling one million copies of one’s own music was an arduous task for a solo woman rapper. Da Brat, however, came out swinging, becoming the first female solo act to achieve a Platinum certification. The rest, as they say, is history. Besides the title track, two other singles were released from Brat’s debut album. “Fa All Y’all” and “Give It 2 You” also succeeded, becoming her second and third consecutive songs to hit the Top 40.

DDG Says He’s Halle Bailey’s “Biggest Supporter”

August 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

DDG, despite rumors, has no problem embracing or supporting his girlfriend, Halle Bailey, and vice versa. Especially when it comes to new music. Fresh off the success of The Little Mermaid, Bailey released her debut solo single, “Angel.” While chatting with a reporter at Billboard’s 2023 R&B/Hip-Hop Power Players event, DDG revealed that he allegedly had given the track a million streams before it came out. “I listen to it a lot. I’m a big supporter of her, obviously, of course,” he said.

The reporter asked the rapper about what it’s like dating a powerful woman, citing Keke Palmer’s recent drama with her ex-boyfriend and child’s father. DDG noted that women were on top, and more powerful than ever. “It’s a woman’s time right now.. [and]I feel like women are more powerful than ever. As a man that’s a part of a woman of that stature, you just gotta be a supporter.”

“It’s A Woman’s Time Right Now,” He Says

Throughout the rest of the brief conversation, the rapper discussed his third studio album, Maybe It’s Me. He stated his intention to address rumors and negative opinions about him. “I just wanted to get all the opinions and stuff that people had about me out of the way, play that villain role for a little bit,” he said, “but now I’m back to making good, relatable music.”

In other related news, the YouTuber-turned-MC recently responded to the backlash he received regarding a track of his latest album titled, “Famous.” The song seemed to rub people the wrong way, as it saw the 25-year-old say that he doesn’t like seeing his girlfriend Halle Bailey be in relationships in the movies she acts in. While a lot of people clowned or criticized him for this, he clarified that it’s just a song and that it’s entertainment at the end of the day. Said comments came from a vlog posted to his YouTube channel back in July, where he also addressed detractors calling him a “failed rapper.” Let us know what you think of all this, in the comments below.
