Fredo Bang Laments Friend’s Vandalized Gravesite, Calls Out Perpetrators

February 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Fredo Bang took to Instagram this weekend to call out folks who vandalized his friend Garrett J. Burton’s gravesite and left it broken and in ruin. “I want one of you tuff a** n***as to claim this,” he wrote on his Story with a picture of the damage done. It’s quite the disrespectful, cruel, and karma-inducing move, and one that is always horrible to see amid feuds and rivalries in any sense. The Yes, I’m Sad MC has already gone through a lot when it comes to losing loved ones, and so this must feel like an extra gut punch no matter the passage of time.

Still, you are probably more familiar with some of Fredo Bang’s more lewd or gossip-related admissions and social media moves. For example, a rumor recently went viral that he paid Jada Kingdom and Asian Doll a whopping $35K for sexual relations. The Baton Rouge rapper denied this outright, although he is known on social media to be a big supporter of sex workers via OnlyFans. This is something he’s not shy about at all, despite how many fans either clown this behavior or use it to define his image.

Elsewhere, though, Fredo Bang also has plenty of bonds and rumors to address within the rap game, particularly his former collaborators. During a recent interview with VladTV, he told DJ Vlad that he thinks his beef with NBA YoungBoy damaged his relationship with Rod Wave, who is now one of YB’s closest collaborators and industry peers. The 27-year-old clarified that he doesn’t like to make people pick sides, or pick them himself if he isn’t personally involved. But this does mark an opportunity for the three to let things be water under the bridge.

Meanwhile, he will keep crushing on his muses in the rap game like Coi Leray, no matter what her dad Benzino says. Elsewhere, Fredo will also keep supporting the family of his fallen friends, too, and defending their memory. Hopefully no other disrespectful acts like this affect other rappers in 2024, as it’s a trend that needs stamping out. For more news and the latest updates on Fredo Bang, stay logged into HNHH.

Snoop Dogg Attends Brother’s Funeral Service

February 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Snoop Dogg and his family recently commemorated his brother Bing Worthington’s life and legacy in a formal ceremony after a lot of healing, reflection, and mourning. For those unaware, Worthington passed away last week at the age of 44, and its cause is still unknown at press time. Moreover, the Long Beach rapper shared a picture of the funeral service on Instagram on Tuesday (February 20), and you can see that he and his loved ones donned red outfits for the occasion. They stand next to the casket in the picture. Many peers like Busta Rhymes, Xzibit, and more shared their condolences in the comments section.

“Everlastin love Beverly’s boys,” Snoop Dogg captioned the tribute post, alluding to their connection as half-brothers through their mother’s side. “Dirty left bing and snoopy [fire emoji] [rose emoji] [dove emoji]. @badabing33 miss that laugh and the way u made us smile keep mama company till we get there [dove emoji] [peace sign emoji].” This adds to his multiple social media tributes to Bing Worthington, who had assisted him with tour managing, a writing credit, and merchandising. Worthington had also co-founded a record label in Canada with Miguel Lopez and rapped in the duo Lifestyle.

“When I put the [Lifestyle] album out, I was putting everything in the music together,” he told Vice back in 2016. “My guy was a great rapper and I was a great rapper, but I was like, ‘Why am I working on the music? I should be doing all the business side of this thing.’ I love meeting people, talking business, that got me going. That made me feel like another person.” In addition to all this, Snoop Dogg recently and briefly commented on how his faith is guiding him through this tragic time.

Meanwhile, he is slowly but surely reintegrating into more public appearances, although they were likely filmed before these developments. For example, Tha Doggfather recently chopped it up with Benny The Butcher about his connection to other rappers through smoking. We hope that he continues to heal and process this at his own pace, and that he keeps paying tribute to his brother in his own way. On that note, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Snoop Dogg.
Rest In Peace Bing Worthington.

Snoop Dogg Continues To Mourn Brother On Instagram

February 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Snoop Dogg recently suffered a tragic and shocking loss with the passing of his brother, Bing Worthington. He continued to mourn this event on Saturday (February 17), with many videos, pictures, and old memories to look back on, cherish, and celebrate his life through. Thousands of social media users, whether they are just regular folks like us or fellow celebrities, poured out their sympathies, condolences, and well-wishes online. This is a very difficult time for Worthington’s family, and to see this level of support and care is at least heartening, despite there being nothing that could possibly fill this void.

While Bing Worthington’s loss is a sad affair, at least the Broadus family did not face another tragedy just weeks before this. You may have heard that Snoop Dogg’s daughter Cori Broadus recently suffered a stroke, which scared many folks online and had her loved ones holding their breath. Fortunately, it seems like things are much better now health-wise, and she was able to return home and steadily wrap up her recovery. We wish Cori and the rest of the Broadus’ circle the best health moving forward, and our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

Alas, even despite the weight and severity of situations like these, life goes on and the sun shines brighter tomorrow. Now is the time to celebrate Bing Worthington’s life, be there for his family and loved ones, and allow them to mourn and process this in peace. Family is everything to Snoop Dogg, and we’re sure that he will continue to honor his brother, do right by his memory, and immortalize him through his work. With his new album with Dr. Dre coming soon, hopefully he is able to continue walking all these paths of life healthily and at his own pace.

Meanwhile, the “Gin & Juice” MC -– and now drink spokesperson -– is taking a lot of time to share memories of Bing and process all this. However long that takes, the hip-hop world, and pop culture fans at large, will be here with open arms. For more news and the latest updates on Snoop Dogg, stay up to date on HNHH. Rest In Peace Bing Worthington.

Cam’ron Honors Mother In Post Commemorating One Year Since Her Death

February 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Almost exactly a year ago today (Saturday, February 10), Cam’ron’s mother Fredericka Giles passed away following a harrowing stroke. This loss really affected him for a long time, and it continues to be a heavy weight on his heart to this day. Sure, the rapper and sports commentator has found a lot of success and plenty of distractions in recent years, such as his It Is What It Is sports talk show with fellow MC Ma$e. Yet in an Instagram post on Friday (February 9), he reflected on the one-year anniversary of his mother’s passing with a much more somber tone than what he usually takes to social media with.

“What do you do when your mom loses her voice and you can only communicate thru tx?” Cam’ron’s post began. “What do when your mom says she’s hungry? But you can give her anything to eat cause it’s a mask on her face keeping her alive? What do you do when your mom ask how long she has to live and you lie to her to keep her spirits up? What do you do when your mom is in pain? And the medicine isn’t working anymore? What do you do when your mom tells you she can’t breathe? Etc..

Love and miss u mom @virgie_og. 7/10/55-2/9/2023.”

In addition, the “Last Stop” artist included a tearful video of him visiting his mom’s gravesite, remarking on how this is her final resting place.

Takeoff Wax Figure’s Creation Detailed In New Video: Watch

January 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Artist mr.officials.llc recently uploaded a video on how they crafted the first-ever Takeoff wax figure and the emotive context behind it. For those unaware, Takeoff is a former member of the Migos, one of the most influential and impactful Southern rap groups of all time, alongside his uncle Quavo and Offset. Tragically, he passed away in November of 2022 following a shootout which caught him in the crossfire. This tragedy, in addition to the Georgia native’s musical legacy, makes him a much-missed and much-beloved figure in the culture for generations to come. Through the clip’s narration, his wax figure’s creator spoke on what the process means to him.

“I haven’t posted in a while and here’s why,” they began their narration of the Takeoff video. “I’m grieving and I’m mourning and I didn’t even know it. Some of you may or may not notice that I’m closing my business after three years. I’m losing my car, it’s on its last wheel. I’m driving a 14-year-old car and I soon won’t have that. I’ll be homeless if all goes well. Now before you begin to feel sorry for me, I’m okay. My gift will make room for me because it always has, and even with all my losses I still believe that this is my year.

“I’ve heard God say over and over, ‘Finish what you started,’” they said of the Takeoff piece. “So I thought well maybe I could finish some sculptures. I could finish working on some projects that I started on, but it’s way too expensive and like I said, I need a new car. He kept saying to me, ‘This is not about you. Your gift is to inspire. Finish what you started.’ So, as I continue to finish working on projects, I begin to grieve and mourn the individuals that I was working on. Crying while creating, this young man I’ve been working on is deceased, and yet I still feel a sense to pray for him.

“Praying for his soul, praying for his family, friends and band members,” they concluded. “That’s when it hit me. This will be the year that I take off. God was using me in the life and legacy of the late rapper Takeoff to let me know that he has not forgotten about me. And what’s funny is this isn’t even my prayer. My prayer is not to have a new house or a new car or a new business. My prayer is for this to be your year of Takeoff. Your job will go to another level. Your marriage will go to another level. Even your finances and health will increase. I believe that this will be the year to Takeoff.”

Key Glock Mourns Death Of The Glock Firearm Company’s Founder & Engineer

December 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

As one of Memphis’ top MCs right now, Key Glock is slowly becoming one of the first names you rattle off when thinking about the best trap artists today. However, the depth behind that name has quite an interesting backstory, which just recently got a saddening but honorable new set of context. Moreover, he recently took to Twitter on Wednesday (December 27) to mourn the death of Gaston Glock, the engineer who founded the Glock firearm company and designed its products. “RIP UNK,” the Tennessee rapper expressed on the social media platform, a succinct but nonetheless tributing statement on an underrated influence in his career trajectory.

Furthermore, he’s used the “Glock” name for a lot of his promotion and branding, such as his most recent album Glockoma 2. But Key Glock had previously explained that his artist name stems from a nickname that he got while coming uo in Memphis. As such, there might be more direct reasoning as to why this name is what he formed a career off of, and whether he had a special affinity for Glocks. Still, the Paper Route Empire hitmaker has never gotten too specific about this name’s origins, so there’s plenty to unveil if he so chooses.

Key Glock Honors Gaston Glock

Elsewhere on social media, he also had to respond to some pretty bizarre and worrisome allegations about backstage conduct. For those unaware, a fan alleged that they found a note around the “meet and greet” section for a recent show that read: “If you ain’t f***ing or sucking, leave!” When the “F**k A Feature” spitter caught wind of this, he claimed that he wasn’t responsible for this if it even happened in the first place, and seemed quite peeved at the assumption. “Key Glock ain’t said s**t,” he tweeted in response to these rumors spiraling on the Internet.

Meanwhile, we hope that the 26-year-old continues to find massive career success in 2024, as he had a killer 2023. After all, whether it was through a freestyle remix of Bad Bunny’s “MONACO” or his own solo work, he proved that he’s one of the best in the mainstream lane right now. Hopefully that’s something that keeps going on an upward trajectory. For more news and the latest updates on Key Glock, stay posted on HNHH.

Lil Reese Mourns Sister On Instagram

December 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Amid the holiday season and brand new music from him, it seems like Lil Reese recently faced a horrible tragedy. Moreover, he took to Instagram to share that he apparently lost his sister recently, and it’s unclear what the cause or circumstance of this is as of writing this article. The Chicago rapper did not share any further details, simply two pictures of her on his IG Story commemorating her memory for now. “Just lost my sister I’m so hurt,” he wrote as the first picture’s caption along with a broken heart emoji. “Love you 4eva,” the 30-year-old added on his other picture’s post.

Furthermore, this is particularly sad because of all that there was to celebrate these days when it comes to his life and career. For one, it’s the holiday season, which means many folks are spending time with their families and coming together after what might’ve been a long time without seeing each other. In addition, Lil Reese has been steadily dropping new music as of late, such as the single “IDK.” As such, it’s disheartening to hear that his sister apparently won’t be there to celebrate the success with him.

As Lil Reese has explained before, he has a lot of respect for those lost, something that was evident in his response to someone apparently pouring lean into Fredo Santana’s casket. “I seen that goofy a** s**t,” he said on No Jumper. “I don’t know who was doing that. No, hell no, I won’t do no goofy a** s**t like that. Nah, Sosa ain’t do that. Sosa ain’t gonna do nothing like that. Yeah, I don’t respect that s**t. I seen that s**t, I don’t respect that s**t though. I used to be doing [lean] with Fredo. That s**t started making me feel a little funny.”

Meanwhile, as other conflicts and struggles in the drill MC’s life continue, we hope he finds the space and energy to heal and rise above them. This is a very tough situation to deal with, especially contrasted with this season. Rest In Peace to Lil Reese’s sister, and our condolences to their family.

DMX’s Son Plays “X Gon’ Give It To Ya” On Piano For Rapper’s Birthday: Watch

December 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Happy birthday to the late, great, and forever legendary DMX, who would’ve turned 53 years old today (Monday, December 18). His legacy remains thriving and perseverant, whether thanks to his collaborators in the music industry or the love of his family. For example, the rapper’s former fiancée Desiree Lindstrom recently shared a clip of their son, seven-year-old Exodus, playing the piano. In particular, he covered his father’s iconic smash hit, “X Gon’ Give It To Ya,” playing the opening brass hits on the keys. It was overall a very wholesome moment to witness, especially on this special day in which X fans worldwide are celebrating his indelible contributions to the culture.

Furthermore, folks within the rap game have often looked back at his days working amongst the greats… even if some of it was contentious. For example, Styles P recently recalled how DMX dissed Ja Rule on his 1998 cut, “We Don’t Give A F**k.” “The song was about Ja,” he told The Breakfast Club. “You didn’t know that? X and Ja having beef. They was dogs. He’s in it, I’m in it with him. Y’all had to know that! Listen to the lyrics!”

Meanwhile, Swizz Beatz recently recounted how he and DMX crafted “Party Up.” “It worked for DMX one time with ‘Party Up,’” he told Rema in a Rolling Stone-hosted talk. “But if you listen to [it], he does everything against the track. Like, you could tell he didn’t want to do the song. But I forced him because we was on a deadline.” Still, they ended up creating what the producer called the “biggest song [they] ever made,” and an iconic rap song to get down to.

In other news, there’s also plenty of good times that the New York legend’s family have had with these figures. For one, Swizz Beatz and his family linked up with some of the late MC’s children for a vacation together, the footage of which was heartwarming. As long as hip-hop is alive, he will be one of its most celebrated and impactful figures. For more news and the latest updates on the Divine Master of the Unknown, check back in with HNHH.
Rest In Peace DMX.

Young Dolph’s Alleged Murderer Is A Scapegoat, Rapper’s Fiance Suggests

December 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Young Dolph’s murder investigation and trial is underway, and the late rapper’s fiancée Mia Jaye isn’t happy with its progress at all. Moreover, she recently spoke to WREG about the whole ordeal, as well as what she thinks will truly bring justice to Dolph’s memory. During Jaye’s remarks, she suggested that there are many more individuals involved in this tragedy than what court suspects indicate. Specifically, many could interpret this as a reference to his previous rap beefs, although those don’t seem to have anything to do with this loss as of yet. Regardless, there’s a lot about this trial that the Memphis MC’s partner expressed discomfort with.

“It looks like the truth coming to the forefront, not just a fall guy, a fall that won’t be good enough,” Mia Jaye said of Young Dolph’s murder trial. “Everybody who had any type of involvement with this being brought to justice, being brought front and center, being handed a sentence. For me to see this play out as if it is some type of entertainment… We got songs being made, but how are these people getting held accountable? Right. The judge being pulled off the case because of him reprimanding the situation? Like, we not about to play this out like it’s some reality TV show in ink, in living color. You know, that’s a disrespect to me. That’s a disrespect to my family and it’s a disrespect to Adolph.”

Young Dolph’s Fiancée Speaks On Memphis Crime & His Fallen Partner’s Case: Watch

Previously, Mia Jaye actually alluded to Young Dolph being killed “over some rap s**t,” although this new statement doesn’t contain those assumptions. However, he also has many in hip-hop that will continue to honor his legacy and impact. “Don’t call/text me asking how I feel. I’ll never get over this sh*t. let me deal with it alone luv,” Key Glock wrote on Dolph’s passing’s anniversary.

As one of the Paper Route Empire boss’ main companions, Key’s always done his part to do right by him. Nevertheless, this court process will define how this incident goes down in the history books. All we can hope for is that they find those truly responsible. For more news and the latest updates on Young Dolph, stick around on HNHH.
