Rico Wade Had Reflected On Dungeon Family Bonds Weeks Before Passing: Details

April 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Many members of the Dungeon Family reunited in Atlanta on Friday (April 26) for a private memorial due to the loss of one of its pillars: Rico Wade. Moreover, his mother’s basement was the “dungeon” that Outkast, Killer Mike, Future, and many more called their home, whether literally or figuratively. While the Organized Noize producer was not the most famous person in the world, his final public remarks, particularly ones from an AllHipHop interview about his Dungeon Family partners, have taken on a more meaningful, saddening, but still beautiful luster after his passing. They went through a lot of bumps as folks in the industry, and even through his health struggles and alcoholism, they always came back together to let their love, support, and gratitude be crystal clear.

“I just had heart surgery, where they had to put a stent in my chest,” Rico Wade told the publication in an interview from the day after he went to an André 3000 concert. “This happened January 19 and I just felt like, ‘Man, I would have missed it [the concert].’ God didn’t want my life. He wanted my attention and he got it. It’s been blessings on blessings on blessings since then. Since that moment, I’ve been blessed in every way. It’s hard to not cry every time I think about it.

“They all love and respect me,” Rico Wade remarked about the support he got from the Dungeon Family amid his health scare. “They all look at me as a person that did it for them, especially after what I just went through. I’ve spoken to every last one of them, and it’s been like, ‘I want to hug you and I want to let you know how important you are to us. I’m glad you’re still here.’ I hate for it to take a life-altering situation, but even Future, that’s my cousin, he’s been so busy. But if I text him now, he texts me right back. I seen André last night at the show, and I was in the studio the other day seeing [Big] Boi. Everybody can see that I’m clear and clean. They can see that I ain’t drinking and they can see my energy…

“What’s crazy about that is that Killer Mike is one of the most articulate, intelligent people I know,” he said of Mike’s Grammy wins and his brief arrest at the ceremony. “So sometimes -– not purposely ’cause I wouldn’t say it was a conspiracy. But they were waiting for him or whatever, like, because of something that happened at the Staples Center or whatever. Since then, the city has been so supportive. Other news outlets have been so supportive of giving him that platform to let him speak because not only did he sweep the Grammys, his album is really good. The song with André and Future won Song of the Year. So it’s like, I’m happy that I’m here.” For more news and updates on the Dungeon Family and its fallen legend, check back in with HNHH.
Rest In Peace Rico Wade.

February 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Mo’Nique’s recent interview with Shannon Sharpe on Club Shay Shay was jam-packed with revelations. She opened up about being blackballed from the entertainment industry, speaking out against Black icons, being shunned by her peers, and more. At one point in the interview, she reflected on Oprah’s 2010 interview with several of her family members. The interview, which took place only days after she won a Grammy for her role in Precious, revolved around her older brother Gerald, who sexually assaulted her as a child.

According to Mo’Nique, Oprah had called her before having her brother on the show, which she felt grateful for. She recalls telling Oprah that she was okay with Gerald being interviewed, despite not wanting to be involved. She also says that she was never asked about other family members, including her parents and grandparents, appearing on the show. Mo’Nique admits that she was shocked to see them all in commercials later discussing such a traumatic experience for her.

You know how you feel about your grandparents? You know the honor, and how you speak about them? Imagine you then seeing your granddaddy and your grandmamma on a show and they’re talking about somebody that violated you. And that woman didn’t tell you that they were going to be there.”

“He’s one of a kind, I can definitely say that,” Remy said of Papoose. “The love that we have for each other, even if we didn’t get married, like I see him being the type of person that would have just been there for me. Like, say if we weren’t together when I went [to prison], I’m sure I could have called him and he’d have been like, ‘What do you need?’ […] That’s just the type of person that he is.”

Trina Denies Nicki Minaj Shade After Dubbing Beyonce The “Queen Of Rap”

December 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Over the past few days, a resurfaced clip of Trina showing love to Beyonce has been making its rounds online, sparking quite a bit of controversy. In the clip, Trina acknowledged Bey for her contributions to female rap. “She is the No. 1 female rapper when she does rap,” she told HipHopDX at the time. “There’s no sleeping on the Queen.” Her eagerness to put Beyonce ahead of the pack raised some eyebrows, and she only doubled down when the interview gained traction.

“For the dusty crusty funky b***hes in the bacccckkkk [loudly speaking emoji] Beyoncé is the queen of rap (when she raps) and ALL other genres of music,” she wrote on her Instagram Story earlier this week. “I rlly don’t give a rats a** how anybody feel, I said what I said .. that’s the Queen Bey and I’m gonna STAN.” While there’s no doubt that Beyonce is the queen of something, some social media users hesitate to say that it’s rap. Some have even speculated that Trina’s comments were a jab at Nicki Minaj, who’s commonly recognized as the true “Queen of Rap.”

Trina Defends Her Opinion

Trina was quick to shut this speculation down, however, after a clip of her covering Nicki’s Pink Friday track “Moment For Life” began to circulate. She took to the opportunity to remind fans that her love for Bey doesn’t counteract her appreciation for Nicki, as she roots for all of her fellow female artists. “Yes Came thru and slayed it,” she commented on a clip of her cover on The Jasmine Brand‘s Instagram. “See that’s the thing I don’t have any problems with NOBODY!” she continued. “Im probably the only female artist that always show love to all the female artist. No jealousy No insecurities over here. I’m actually ya favorite fave … FAVE. Don’t let that go over ya head. (Jokes Up).”

“What’s the REAL problem? My choice. My opinion of who I said the queen is. The f*ck y’all think this is. A f*ckn colt,” she added. What do you think of Trina calling Beyonce the “Queen of Rap?” Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

FBG Duck Murder Case Informant Trenches News Dodges Questions In Resurfaced Interview

December 9, 2023 by newhiphopnews

At the end of last month, it was reported that an FBI agent told a group of jurors that a paid informant was assisting with FBG Duck’s murder case. The informant was revealed to be Martell Wiley, otherwise known as Trenches News. He testified as a key witness in the federal trial earlier this week, claiming that he had been cooperating with authorities since 2006.

Now, social media users have dug up a No Jumper interview with the YouTuber from October, in which he’s asked about rumors that he was an informant. Armed with new confirmation that he was actually cooperating, fans are reexamining the interview, noting how it seems to make a lot of sense. In the interview, he dances around all of Adam22’s questions about the case, never outright denying being an informant.

Reportedly, after FBG Duck’s 2020 death, Wiley contacted the Chicago Police Department and offered to help them with the case. According to FBI Special Agent Kevin Doyle, he provided “background information” and reviewed “surveillance footage” and “social media postings.” He’s sure to face plenty of scrutiny for his decision to cooperate with authorities, but Wiley was set on seeking justice for the late rapper. He was additionally paid well, receiving more than 15 installments of nearly $25K for his work.

“They subpoenaed me to court. I’ve gotta come here and tell them, man,” he also told viewers on his YouTube channel. “It ain’t no more discrepancies. I’m here. Long live [FBG Duck] Carlton.” What do you think of the resurfaced clip of Trenches News speaking on FBG Duck’s murder case?

Diddy Allegedly Demanded Cassie To Shave Her Head, Yung Joc Recalls In Resurfaced Interview

November 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In light of Cassie’s lawsuit and damning allegations against Diddy, social media users have been digging into his past. Recently, they’ve called attention to a Yung Joc interview from last year. During a conversation with VladTV, the rapper recalled an incident which he said resulted in Cassie’s iconic partially-shaved head. He claimed that Diddy told Cassie to shave her head after spotting another women with the style, and she agreed.

According to Yung Joc, he and his wife were hanging out with Diddy and Cassie one evening when the Bad Boy Records founder saw a white woman with the side of her head shaved. According to him, Diddy leapt up, requesting that Cassie do the same. “Yo, yo Cassie,” Yung Joc recalled him saying. “Tomorrow I want you to shave the side of your head.” The rapper said that he was shocked by Diddy’s demand, and even more taken aback by Cassie’s response.

“I was like, ‘what the f*ck kind of request is that?‘” he added. “Whatever Sean wants I’m gonna do,” he claimed Cassie told him. While Yung Joc said that Cassie agreed to the haircut, his recollection has managed to raise some eyebrows amid her other damning allegations against the 54-year-old. This isn’t the only resurfaced interview that users have dug up as of late, however.

Back in 2019, Diddy’s ex Gina Huynh sat down with Tasha K to reflect on her relationship with the artist. During the interview, she accused him of physical and emotional abuse, claiming that those around Diddy failed to call attention to the alleged mistreatment. She also alleged that she became pregnant with Diddy’s child at one point, claiming that he offered her $5K to terminate the pregnancy. While she went through with the abortion, she says she refused to take his payment because she “just cared about him.” What do you think of Yung Joc’s recollection of Diddy allegedly telling Cassie to shave part of her head?

Jada Pinkett Smith Describes Tupac Kiss As “Disgusting” In Resurfaced Interview

October 1, 2022 by newhiphopnews

While hip-hop lovers have often speculated that Tupac and Jada Pinkett Smith may have been each other’s “the one that got away” prior to the rapper’s untimely death, a resurfaced interview from 2015 finds the Girls Trip actress explaining to Howard Stern just how wrong those theories are.

Many have wondered how the mother of two avoided the temptation right in front of her in the form of one of her closest friends, and the host didn’t hesitate to press her by asking, “How were you not attracted to Tupac?”

“I met Tupac at the Baltimore School of the Arts. We went to High School together,” Pinkett Smith recalled, also noting that, while the West Coast artist was undeniably charismatic, he was also poor, and allegedly only owned two pairs of pants and two sweaters when she met him.

As Stern inquired about if ‘Pac was as “gangsta as we all thought he was,” the 51-year-old confirmed the gossip. “He was a revolutionary without a revolution. That kind of energy just transferred into a whole other thing,” she explained.

When the host asked if Pinkett Smith thought the “All Eyez On Me” hitmaker was in love with her due to the beautiful poetry he penned in her honour, she said, “It is so funny. Now being older, I have more of an understanding of what that was between us.”

“When you have two young people who have very strong feelings but there is no physical chemistry… between us at all. And it wasn’t even just for me. It was him too.”

The Red Table Talk host shared that there was once a time when she asked Tupac to kiss her, just to see what would happen. “When I tell you it had to be the most disgusting thing, kiss for us both,” she admitted.

While Stern suggests the lack of sexual chemistry was due to the “platonic” nature of their relationship, Pinkett Smith offered a more philosophical explanation.

“The only way I can put it is the ‘Higher Power’ just did not want that,” the Baltimore native suggested. “I feel as though if Pac and I had any kind of sexual chemistry we might have killed each other because we were both so passionate and we loved deeply.”

In the same interview, Pinkett Smith said she didn’t feel guilty about not being on good terms with 2Pac at the time of his death, as she knew that he knew that she loved him.
