6ix9ine Takes Full Credit For Success Of Romanian Music Festival And Some Fans Aren’t Buying It

July 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

6ix9ine is one of those artists who has been controversial since the very beginning. Overall, he started off as a horrendous troll who got under everyone’s skin. However, he was making hits at the time so he ended up getting a bit of a pass. Subsequently, he got wrapped up in a RICO case, snitched on everyone, and got a commuted sentence. Since that time, 6ix9ine has been causing even more trouble, especially in the Dominican Republic. Despite this, fans in Europe still love him.

This was evident over the weekend as 6ix9ine took to the stage in Romania for the Beach, Please! festival. Overall, this was a massive festival that had some viral clips over the weekend. Yeat came out to a massive crowd and the fans were loving every moment. As for 6ix9ine, you would have thought it was 2018 with the way he was being received by the crowd. It was a massive moment, and the fans gave him the biggest ovation of the entire weekend.

Following his performance, 6ix9ine took to Instagram and took credit for the scope of the festival. He claimed that he is the reason why the promoter put so much money into it, and that he is still one of the biggest artists out there. Many fans were not buying this comment from 6ix9ine, and it showed in the vitriol on Akademiks’ IG page. “It’s a festival, it isn’t his show,” one person wrote. “It’s a festival multiple acts several days that’s like saying any one act sold out rolling loud very silly he did his set on the festival,” said another. Needless to say, 6ix9ine still doesn’t have the favor of fans here in North America.

Let us know what you think of 6ix9ine and his popularity, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that it is surprising just how popular Tekashi remains? Do you believe he is the reason behind the success of this music festival? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world.

Wiz Khalifa Catches Drug Possession Charges In Romania For Alleged Weed-Smoking

July 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It looks like Wiz Khalifa ran into some unexpected trouble overseas, as authorities in Romania reportedly charged him with illegal drug possession. “During a performance at a music festival held in the resort of Costinesti, the accused was found to have possessed more than 18 grams of cannabis and to have consumed (on stage) another quantity in the form of a handmade cigarette,” local prosecutors stated on Sunday. The nation’s laws often seek up to ten years for cannabis possession, as they consider the substance a “risk drug,” and while they allegedly charged the future Kush & OJ 2 MC, apparently they didn’t keep him in custody.

If you’re a hip-hop fan in Romania, then this Wiz Khalifa situation continues a sad streak for rappers in the nation as of late. “Out of concern for the well-being of our team and myself, my security detail [advised me] not to travel to Romania’s festival tonight due to safety concerns regarding protests in the area,” Nicki Minaj announced last week amid protests. “I look forward to seeing you all at another time. As a mom, I have to make sure I’m making sound decisions for me to make it home to my son and for my team to make it home to their families. To not heed the advice of security at this time is simply not what I think I should be doing.”

Hopefully Wiz Khalifa is able to handle this situation in Romania swiftly and effectively. After all, he has a family to get back to, as his girlfriend Aimee Aguilar is pregnant and they are very excited for this new chapter as parents. This certainly threw a wrench into things, but perhaps it resolves sooner than expected. Fingers crossed!

Meanwhile, Wiz Khalifa has other overseas concerts to look forward to these days, including a November visti to Thailand for Rolling Loud. A$AP Rocky, Tyla, Ski Mask The Slump God, and many more will perform as well, and it looks like quite the fun event. Hopefully these other shows and concerts are ones he handles with more discretion when it comes to the drug charges. It’s also possible that this is a huge misunderstanding, so keep your eyes peeled for updates.

Nicki Minaj Calls Off Her Romania Concert Due To Protests

July 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Nicki Minaj has sadly ran into some issues during her European tour this year, though this fortunately isn’t as much of a headache as an arrest. Moreover, she took to social media on Sunday (July 7) to give the saddening news that she chose to cancel her show in Romania that night. Roman cited safety concerts from her security team due to protests in the area, as citizens advocated for a change in the country’s fiscal policies. There’s still no news on whether or not she plans to do another concert in the area to make up for it, but for now, she chose to be safe rather than sorry.

“Out of concern for the well-being of our team and myself, I have been advised by my security detail not to travel to Romania’s festival tonight due to safety concerns regarding protests in the area,” Nicki Minaj shared on Twitter. “I look forward to seeing you all at another time. As a mom, I have to make sure I’m making sound decisions for me to make it home to my son and for my team to make it home to their families.

Nicki Minaj Cancels Romanian Show

Out of concern for the well-being of our team and myself, I have been advised by my security detail not to travel to Romania’s festival tonight due to safety concerns regarding protests in the area. I look forward to seeing you all at another time. As a mom, I have to make sure…

— Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ) July 7, 2024

“To not heed the advice of security at this time is simply not what I think I should be doing,” Nicki Minaj continued. “I love you and thank you for your understanding and support. I am very excited to see my fans this Friday in London for another very special headlining show at Wireless Festival.” What’s more is that we know she kept herself entertained these days despite this setback, or at least, that’s what fans think. Many believe the Trinidadian MC has made fun of MEGAN‘s first week sales, given her feud with Megan Thee Stallion.

Regardless, hopefully the rest of Nicki Minaj’s year goes more according to plan, and she can continue to connect with fans around the world. She recently resolved an issue with former manager Deb Antney for reaching out to Lil Kim behind her back, and more heartening and conciliatory moments like these would be very welcome. But for Romanian die-hards, hopefully you get another chance soon to see your fav. We know that whenever Gag City comes through, it’s a massive event, so it’ll most likely be worth the wait.

Andrew Tate Loses Appeal Over Asset Seizure, $17M Remains In Police Custody

March 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan have lost their appeal to reclaim $17M worth of assets seized by Romanian law enforcement. As a result, the seized property will remain in police custody. As for the brothers themselves, they remain in police custody awaiting extradition to the United Kingdom. They have been charged with 21 counts of rape and sexual assault and will face trial in London.

Adin Ross recently apologized to Tate as the streamer, and disciple of Tate’s lifestyle brand, inadvertently got the influencer arrested. Ross had revealed on stream that Tate had told him that he was “planning to leave Romania and not come back”. This reached the Romanian authorities, who detained Tate for attempting to violate the conditions of his pre-trial release. However, Ross also noted that Tate had forgiven him and wanted the streamer to come to Romania to collaborate on some content. The veracity of this offer remains to be seen given the Tates’ impending extradition.

Elsewhere, Tate has cryptically claimed that he and Elon Musk turned down multi-million dollar payments to sell out. “I turned down 50m to sell my soul. All I had to do was shut up on certain subjects and sell trash to kids. I refused. Then I was arrested. Elon turned down 500m plus. Not many hero’s left. G,” Tate cryptically wrote on X, formerly Twitter. Tate did not specify who had offered the money or what he would have to stop speaking on to receive it. As a result, the post reads like a generic “deep state” conspiracy tweet. Later in the day, Tate reposted a post about the “new world order” from 2013.

Furthermore, people pointed out several hypocrisies. First, people noted that Tate is currently beefing with Musk because Musk seemingly ignored his offer to “advertise X on X” for $1M a month. Additionally, people noted that Musk had “sold out” in recent weeks. Musk went from a fierce advocate of Palestine to posting pro-Israel content and even touring Israel with government officials.

Andrew Tate & Brother Tristan Arrested On Sexual Aggression Charges Amid Alleged Plot To Flee Romania

March 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Andrew Tate and his brother Tristan are extremely controversial figures in the world of YouTube and livestreaming. Overall, they came to prominence thanks to their podcasts about the dating world. Moreover, they have delivered comments about the “red pill” and how men should deal with women. Their content has been deemed misogynistic, and there are some who believe the two should not have a platform. However, they have built a massive fanbase, mostly comprised of adolescent boys.

In the midst of their rise to fame, they were arrested in Romania and brought up on sex trafficking charges. They will have to stand trial, and while they deny all wrongdoing, there are plenty of people who hope they go away for a long time. During this saga, they have remained in Romania, although Adin Ross accidentally let it slip that the brothers were planning to leave the country. Considering their legal issues, this is a big no-no. Today, however, the Tate brothers found themselves in trouble for a whole different reason.

— Brian Krassenstein (@krassenstein) March 12, 2024

According to Sky News, the brothers were arrested in Romania thanks to a warrant from the United Kingdom. They are being accused of “sexual aggression,” with one accusation dating back to 2012. At this point, there is no telling where this arrest will go. However, it is clear that they will not be able to actually leave Romania, anytime soon. Of course, Tate’s fans are not happy with this arrest. His fans are known for being anti-establishment, and they will most definitely use this as a means to say the brothers are being treated unfairly. Only time will tell how these allegations play out now that the two have been put in custody.

Let us know what you think of this situation, in the comments section down below. Do you think the Tate brothers will make it out of this predicament?

Andrew Tate Bafflingly Claims He Had Tears In Prison Cell But Never Cried

November 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Andrew Tate is someone who has grown in prominence quite a bit over the past couple of years or so. Overall, his character arc has been a bit inorganic. It feels like he came out of nowhere but exploded in popularity. It was almost as if the algorithm was forcing him down our throats. However, he has gained a sizeable number of fans who are obsessed with his every move. Despite being accused of sex trafficking and other crimes, his fans are still in on him. Ultimately, it speaks to him being some sort of cult of personality-like character.

Following his release from prison, Andrew Tate was placed on house arrest. Subsequently, they were taken out of house arrest back in August. Now, he and his brother will have to stand trial. For now, however, details about the trial are still a bit scarce. No one actually really knows when it will take place. In the meantime, Piers Morgan went out to Romania where he interviewed Andrew. In the clip below, he does his whole Alpha male schtick, but his words are just too ridiculous to buy into.

Andrew Tate Speaks

Piers Morgan asks Andrew Tate if he cried in jail.

“There were tears running down my face. But I did not cry,” Tate claimed. Clearly, the man is just playing a character. He knows that these kinds of comments play well to his base. However, he says these things without a single shred of irony. If he did, then it would be funny. But instead, it is just overly serious and kind of ridiculous. Ultimately, buying into the Tate hype is kind of silly. That said, there are plenty of young men who subscribe to his ideology, and if he could say anything, they will still flock to him.

Be sure to let us know what you think of Tate, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the entertainment world. We will always be sure to keep you informed.

Drake Claps Back At Andrew Tate Over Comments About Canadian Men

October 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Drake is someone who has always been very proud of his status as a Canadian. He is always shouting out “The 6,” which is a nickname for his hometown of Toronto. Overall, he is the biggest artist to ever come out of Canada and that probably will not change anytime soon. Whenever someone has something to say about Canada or Toronto, you can be sure that Drizzy will have some sort of opinion on it. That is especially true when that opinion is coming from a massive online celebrity.

Recently, Andrew Tate was on his podcast where he offered up some very harsh words about Canada. Specifically, he took aim at the men who reside within the country. Essentially, Tate believes that it is impossible to be a “real man” if you are a Canadian. He clearly doesn’t like the country’s social policies as well as its reputation for having very nice people. This attack against Canada also implies that Drake is included here. Consequently, a person could deduce from Tate’s logic that even Drake can’t be considered a real man.

Drake Hits Back

A post shared by No Jumper (@nojumper)

Well, as you can see in the post above from No Jumper, Drake decided to respond to Andrew Tate. However, his response is open to interpretation and doesn’t offer much by way of actual emotion. “Green light,” Drizzy wrote with a laughing emoji in front of the comment. Needless to say, the artist sees everything, and he is not going to let Tate just waltz in and slander his country’s good name like that. Although, we doubt Tate actually cares. He is all the way out in Romania, where he is currently fighting a few legal battles.

At this point, Drake has a lot better things to think about than Andrew Tate. Even though the man may be huge online, he is barely a footnote when compared to the Canadian megastar. Let us know what you think of this, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will always keep you informed.

Andrew Tate Leaves House Arrest After Successful Appeal

August 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Andrew Tate has been granted some freedom as he awaits trial on charges of rape and human trafficking in Romania. The kickboxer and lifestyle influencer was released from the house arrest that he has been held under since March. That came after Tate was arrested in December 2022 in connection to a human trafficking investigation. Tate’s brother Tristan and two Romanian women were also arrested. Tate was formally charged with counts of human trafficking and rape in June.

While Tate will now be able to leave the large house he owns outside the Romanian capital of Bucharest, he is not entirely a free man. Tate is still confined to the borders of Romania. Furthermore, he is not allowed to be “in close proximity with any of the other defendants, any of the witnesses or any of the alleged victims and their immediate family.” That stipulation was reported by Mateea Petrescu, Tate’s spokesperson.

Tate Proclaims Innocence

Andrew Tate, the divisive internet influencer who is charged in Romania with rape, human trafficking and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women, won an appeal to be released from house arrest. Tate won’t be able to leave the country. https://t.co/umU6COJ5r0

— The Associated Press (@AP) August 4, 2023

Speaking outside his home, Tate used the opportunity to once again proclaim his innocence. “We’ve been completely innocent since the beginning of this. In January when I was thrown in a jail cell, the media reported and told the world I was a terrible person. They said that I hurt people and that I make a lot of money from criminal enterprises,” he said. “And here we stand seven or eights month later and I’ve not seen a single victim on the news. I’ve seen lots of people sticking up for me, lots of people defending me and I’ve not seen a single person stand up and say that I have hurt them.”

This is a stark contrast to claims Tate has formerly made. Tate once called his own NSFW camming business a “total scam” and said that he used it to lure women into falling in love with him. Furthermore, Tate has previously said that he moved to Romania in 2017 in part to avoid criminal charges he was facing in the UK. Additionally, Tate all but praised corruption in the Romanian legal system as reducing his chances of facing additional criminal charges. The status of Tate’s trial remains unclear. However, it’s believed that it will start later this year.
