New Playboi Carti Leak Fuels Rumors Of New Music Coming Soon

September 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Rumors of Playboi Carti dropping soon amid lots of leaks are about as common as leaves falling in autumn at this point. Fans have been starving and fiending for more ever since Whole Lotta Red dropped, amid the rapper’s own legal and relationship controversies plus exciting performances. Many fans believe that Music will be another great album, although it’s possible that it won’t even be named that by the time it drops. Given that his leaked discography is just as revered and abundant as his official releases, new snippets surfacing online are a staple of his career. With each new entry in that saga, die-hards get excited and disappointed all over again.

Furthermore, we’re now in that excitement stage again, with a clip of an unreleased track “Wicked (Killers)” leaking online. It’s what you’d expect from this King Vamp era: baby-voiced, unintelligible, but still invigorating and downright catchy. Moreover, the instrumental on this Playboi Carti features the ethereal synth pads and distorted bass that defines his artistry for the most part. In addition, there are some extra buzzing embellishments that fit this track in the rage-heavy phase of the Atlanta trap innovator’s path.

“Wicked (Killers),” The Latest Playboi Carti Leak

What’s more is that this track has apparently been in the works for a while, unless it’s not an accurate name. During a 2022 interview with XXL, the “Notice Me” MC played an unreleased song also called “Wicked” to the interviewer before their conversation. When the interviewer, editor-in-chief Vanessa Satten, asked about a new album, he had this to say. “I was about to name my album Music because that’s where I’m at,” Playboi Carti expressed. “You know what I’m saying? Music.”

Meanwhile, fans had mixed reactions to this leak. On one hand, they’re happy to get new Carti amid almost complete radio silence from him. On the other, some believe that this will only further delay Music‘s release, and even saw the snippet as a vengeful move following the delay of his tour with Opium. Like always with this artist, we’ll just have to wait and see. For more news and updates on Playboi Carti, stick around on HNHH.

Steve Harvey Speaks On Cheating Rumors About His Wife, Marjorie Bridges

August 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Steve Harvey’s had a wild week on social media, but he isn’t letting any of the ruckus take too heavy of a toll. First, he had to address a tweet that his account put out about unfunny comedians, reportedly firing his social media manager as a result. Not only that, but this fell against the context of cheating rumors surrounding his wife of 16 years, Marjorie Bridges, with the allegations surrounding the entertainment icon’s security guard. Social media users went wild with this narrative, and unsurprisingly, it didn’t take long until Harvey addressed them. Moreover, he had some words for the gossip during his appearance at the recent Invest Fest.

“I don’t know what y’all doing, but find something else to do, ’cause we fine,” Steve Harvey remarked to the crowd. “Lord have mercy. I sure wish I could cuss, though. Sometimes you just wanna respond. But I ain’t got no time for rumors and gossip, man, God been good to me. I’m still shining, I appreciate y’all coming.” Furthermore, this isn’t the only rebuttal against this speculation that surfaced online in defense of Marjorie.

In addition, Nigerian Senator Ned Nwoko spoke on these rumors after allegedly reaching out personally to his friend. “When we read about our friend Steve Harvey and his lovely wife having issues, we had to contact Him,” Senator Nwoko wrote on social media. “He confirmed that he and his wife are very much okay and it’s all fake news and should be disregarded. The family is happy together and we wish them all the best.” As such, it seems like these rumors ended rights they started, and almost two months after they celebrated their anniversary.

Meanwhile, we’re sure that the gossip and rumor mill won’t stop just yet surrounding this story, but at least it’ll be seen as just that and not legitimate reports. It seems like the couple is as happy as ever, as frustrating as it must be to have to address speculation like this. Regardless, we’ll see what else the future holds in store for the two, and what else they’ll have to respond to. For more news and the latest updates on Steve Harvey, log back into HNHH.

Steve Harvey Reportedly Fires Social Media Manager Over Divorce Rumors, Viral Comedian Tweet

August 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week, reports began to surface claiming that Steve Harvey and his wife were going through a rough patch. Reportedly, Harvey and his wife, Marjorie Bridges, were headed for a divorce after Bridges cheated on the TV personality. However those rumors have since been debunked, at least according to Nigerian Senator Ned Nwoko, who claims to have spoken to Harvey personally. “When we read about our friend Steve Harvey and his lovely wife having issues, we had to contact Him and He confirmed that he and his wife are very much okay and it’s all fake news and should be disregarded. The family is happy together and we wish them all the best,” Senator Nwoko wrote on Instagram.

The other Harvey-related incident centered on a now-deleted tweet that appeared on Harvey’s official Twitter account. “A comedian you don’t find funny at all?” the tweet simply read. The post received a lot of backlash, with a lot of people calling it classless and musing on why Harvey would post such a negative question. However, Harvey himself has now spoken out about the week’s events, revealing that he had to fire a member of his team.

“Somebody that works for me on my Twitter put a statement out that was totally negative. I gotta take responsibility for it ’cause they work for me, but the engagement was talking about ‘name a comedian you don’t think is funny.’ Why would I do something like that?” Harvey said in a video. “That don’t even make no damn sense. My whole brand is to be motivational, and I’mma turn around a say something like that? You don’t know where these young people [are] at in they career, man. They could be coming up or anything. I’m all about positivity; I would’ve never done nothing like that.”

Harvey went on to say that after confronting the employee in question, the tweet was defended as being necessary as Harvey needed “engagement”. Furthermore, he ends his video by joking that the individual now needs to find “employment” instead. Harvey and Bridges have been married since 2007. It is Harvey’s third marriage and by far his most successful. Harvey was with his first wife, Marcia, for 13 years between 1981 and 1994. He then married Mary Shackleford in 1995, with the pair divorcing in 2006. Additionally Bridges and Harvey celebrated their 16th wedding anniversary (wax) earlier this year.

03 Greedo Rumors That He Was Murdered Proven False By His Manager

August 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

03 Greedo fans scrambled online after rumors surfaced from unknown sources that he had been shot in Watts, Los Angeles, expressing their heartbreak, shock, and hopes that it wasn’t true. Fortunately, it seems like these speculations were disproved by none other than the rapper’s manager, who allegedly responded to someone asking them whether these rumors were true via text. In addition, multiple online outlets reported that this was fake news, although people are still reaction frantically to it. Moreover, Greedo hasn’t posted anything addressing this on his social media as of writing this article. We still need solid confirmation, but it seems like people clarified this hysteria quickly.

Furthermore, this hit fans especially hard because the West Coast MC dropped a new song this week called “Rich On Grape Street.” As such, many spent their time on social media expressing how much they liked it, and he even had a recent show. In fact, 03 Greedo will play tonight (Saturday, August 26) in Colorado, so perhaps that will be what truly confirms this as fake news. Regardless, fans are still concerned online and just want him to send a sign online.

03 Greedo’s Manager Allegedly Disproves Rumors Of His Death

Meanwhile, this news would’ve stacked up in grim and tragic fashion against recent comments the 36-year-old made. While on No Jumper with Adam22, 03 Greedo spoke on dealing with loss while he still found himself behind bars. “Must have felt like f***ing torture,” Adam remarked, and Greedo elaborated. “I’m already going through the personal side of people dying,” he expressed. “Like aunties, family friends, or just losing like real close homies in the hood It was so much s**t.” Given that he served around five years in jail, these reflections hint at an often unspoken turmoil that happens when life passes you by and you can’t do anything from prison to change it.

Hopefully the Watts artist speaks out soon and puts his fans at ease, because there’s no solid confirmation either way. As a prominent, influential, and powerful rapper in his own right, many want to see him succeed after his incarcerated stint. Now, we must endure the wait and hope for the best. With that in mind, stay logged into HNHH for the latest news and updates on 03 Greedo.

Megan Thee Stallion & Cardi B Collab Single Rumors Surface Online

August 26, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Two of the most revered and successful femcees in today’s rap game might have another hit single on the way. Moreover, The Neighborhood Talk recently sparked industry rumors that, apparently, Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion will drop another collaborative single soon. Of course, the duo is well-known for their massive song “WAP,” which is as beloved as it is divisive online. However, with no real information or reports to substantiate this, take it with a grain of salt, as it’s just industry hearsay. Regardless, it’s promising and exciting news considering their previous banger and how talented the two rappers are.

Unfortunately, both have been relatively radio silent when it comes to new solo material, though that might change soon. That being said, it would be very understandable if Megan Thee Stallion takes some time before returning to the hip-hop release game. She’s still performing and things like that, but the case against Tory Lanez and her feud with her label took a heavy toll on her. Now that she can heal and be more unencumbered by that scandal, hopefully she’s able to move forward as an artist in any way she sees fit.

Cardi B & Megan Thee Stallion Might Drop Something Soon

Furthermore, on Cardi B’s end, it looks like she’s gearing up for her highly anticipated album at her own pace, too. For example, she recently gave an update that hints that she’s only dropping solo material for now, and no more offshoot collabs. As such, maybe these Megan Thee Stallion collab rumors relate to a single for said project. Either way, there should be some exciting material from the Bronx artist soon.

“I’m not going to release any more collaborations, I’m going to put out my next solo single,” she remarked to Vogue Mexico. “Right now I’m working on the cover art and ideas for the next record because it’s definitely coming up. So stay tuned because it’s coming out very soon. I also have plans in the world of cinema. In fact, I have plans to do everything I can: fashion, branding… I want to do it all, honey.” For more news and the latest updates on Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B, check back in with HNHH.

Lil Baby Finally Addresses Long-Rumored Drake Collab Album

August 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

For a lot of people, Lil Baby washed Drake on “Wants and Needs,” and given their extensive collaborative history, fans would love to see a showdown between them for a whole project. That’s exactly the rumor that Black Coffee started back in March, making fans start anticipating a Baby and Drizzy joint album. “[Quality Control Music’s Coach K] had said to me, ‘Lil Baby and Drake are making an album. It’s possible that Drake is retiring,’” the producer claimed on Podcast and Chill with MacG. While neither artist addressed these claims outright, we now have a… somewhat conclusive response from the Atlanta MC.

Moroever, XXL recently sat down with the QCM signee for an interview, during which the publication asked him about the Drake speculation. Unfortunately, the It’s Only Me creative wasn’t exactly clear when responding to these rumors, although that only adds to anticipation and the mythos behind it. “Maybe so. Maybe not,” Lil Baby told XXL, and the lack of outright denial is enough to keep fans excited. However, with both their careers looking at another phase soon, maybe this year wouldn’t be the best time to oversaturate their releases.

Lil Baby’s XXL Interview

That’s relevant because Baby teased an upcoming solo project dropping soon, along with that of his other label members. “I’m actually going to drop an album this summer and my artist, Rylo Rodriguez, will be dropping an album this summer,” Lil Baby remarked to the publication. Rodriguez did, in fact, drop Been One earlier in June, but it’s been radio silent on the studio album front from the 4PF leader so far this year. Summer’s technically not over, but unless he drops this Friday (August 25), then a sunny release seems improbable.

Meanwhile, considering other hits like “Yes Indeed” (and misses like “Girls Want Girls”), teaming up with Drake could yield great and retributive results for the 28-year-old. Sure, it isn’t the most consistent run of team-ups, but the two artists certainly compliment one another quite well. It seems that the chances of this collab album dropping aren’t within our wants and needs just yet. For more news and the latest updates on the 6 God and Lil Baby, log back into HNHH.

Chloe Bailey Defends Her Sister Halle Amid Pregnancy Rumors

August 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Chloe and Halle Bailey are no strangers to gossip, rumors, and allegations being thrown around them all the time. Unfortunately, it’s become a bit of a common trend, whether it relates to both of their relationship histories or their careers, be it together or individually. Still, the most important thing to uphold and applaud is that the R&B duo is always sticking up for each other amid these claims. Moreover, Twitter recently had a field day when rumors swirled from unknown and unconfirmed sources that Halle was perhaps pregnant. During an Instagram Live session, Chloe seemed to address these discussions, asking people to stop playing with their names.

“Y’all better keep my sister’s name out your mouth,” Chloe remarked, which many interpreted as a response to this gossip. “Thank you. Amen, hallelujah. ‘Bout to get me riled the hell up. Anyways…” Then, an unnamed person in the background said, “We don’t play about Halle.” “No,” the singer replied. “Like, what the heck? Period.” For what it’s worth, Halle hasn’t responded, whether subtly or directly, to these rumors as of writing this article. Given how much of this they already have to deal with, we don’t expect her to.

Chloe Sticks Up For Halle Amid Unfounded Pregnancy Rumors

Furthermore, it’s odd to see how much of the discussion centered around people blasting these rumors rather than propagating them. Look up “Halle Bailey” on Twitter and you’ll see a whole lot of reactions and not a lick of reports. Upon some further digging, though, apparently people jumped to this conclusion thanks to some recent social media posts from her. Regardless of how they started, the overwhelming backlash to them certainly ended them swiftly. Surely they will continue for some time, but again, it’s just people talking about it more than they are actually informing anyone of it.

Meanwhile, the slimmest silver lining here is simply more promo and buzz, considering that Halle recently released her debut solo single “Angel.” With Chloe always by her side, their careers will continue to develop and set them up as powerhouses both with and without each other. Let’s just hope that fans get their facts straight and focus on what they actually know. For more news and the latest updates on the two, keep checking in with HNHH.

Summer Walker Roller Skates With Jeremih, Denies Dating Rumors

August 19, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Summer Walker hopped on her Instagram Story last night, sharing a series of clips from a night on the town. She looks to have enjoyed a roller skating excursion with some friends, as well as fellow hitmaker Jeremih. Jeremih posted his own clip of himself skating alongside Walker, which has managed to get social media users talking. As the performer just recently broke things off with her ex, Lil Meech, the discussion has been pretty heated.

Some users are now speculating that her and Jeremih could be more than friends, while others strongly disagree. Naysayers even include Walker herself. While several are suggesting that the duo’s body language looked flirtatious, many note that they are strictly friends. Others are also urging people not to rush Walker into another relationship. Luckily, it appears as though the songstress has got it all under control. She took to the comments section of The Neighborhood Talk, squashing the speculation. Walker says that they weren’t even there together intentionally, claiming that they just happened to be at the same place at the same time.

“That man has never touched me & never will, no disrespect, he happened to be there when I was there , celebs go skating too, T.I, Tiny, Usher and many more be at cascade,” she wrote. Walker continued, “damn y’all make my a** itch I can’t do nothing without y’all tryna be in my business.”

Clearly, things between Walker and Jeremih are not heating up, and she doesn’t appreciate the speculation. Regardless, she seems to have been living her best life amid the breakup. She’s been surrounding herself with loved ones, spending more time doing activities she enjoys, and focusing on her career. It looks like the 27-year-old doing all the right things to move forward, taking to Instagram this week to let the public know, “Ima always choose me.”

Darius Jackson Denies Reports He’s “Unbothered” By Keke Palmer’s Usher Video

August 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Last month, Keke Palmer and the father of her child made headlines, after he decided to weigh in on an outfit she wore to Usher’s concert. The father of one, Darius Jackson, appeared to shame Palmer for her attire, reminding her “you a mom.” He was immediately hit was an overwhelming amount of backlash for the comment, but instead of apologizing, he doubled down. Jackson criticized this generation for being upset that he commented on the mother of his son showcasing her “booty cheeks.”

He cited his own “standards and morals,” claiming he was within his rights to do so. The backlash continued, however, with countless social media users and celebrities chiming in on the drama. Palmer has yet to seriously address the controversy publicly. Fans were then shocked when it was announced this week that Palmer will be starring in Usher’s new music video. The “Boyfriend” video is a nod to the viral drama, and who better to star in it than her. Later reports suggested that Jackson had shared his thoughts on the music video, claiming to be “unbothered.”

Darius Jackson Says He Hasn’t “Spoken To Anyone”

Reportedly, a source told People “Darius is focused on an acting career and wants to put the drama behind him.” They also noted “You don’t have to be in the same household to be good parents.” The alleged source added that “He’s moved on.” It appears as though the source’s statements can’t be confirmed, however, as Jackson claims that he hasn’t spoken on it. “I haven’t spoken to anyone about anything or gave permission to anyone to speak for me,” he explained. “So all these sites & post about me making any type of statement is false.”

It seems like Palmer is making the most of the unfortunate fallout, getting an opportunity to work with one of her inspirations. “You have been killing it all my life. As a true lover of the arts, your talent and craftsmanship are a rare combination that I aspire to achieve as a performer,” she wrote of Usher. “You are a living legend who is worthy of awe! Thank you for encouraging me and seeing me as the entertainer I am.”

Is IShowSpeed Dead?

August 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The internet is a vast space where rumors can spread like wildfire. One such rumor that recently took the online community by storm was the alleged death of popular YouTuber IShowSpeed. But what’s the truth behind this trending topic? Let’s delve into the details. In July 2023, IShowSpeed, whose real name is Darren Watkins Jr., was hospitalized, leading to a surge in concern among his vast fanbase. Not long after, the phrase “IShowSpeed dead” began trending on various social media platforms, amplifying the anxiety of his followers.

The Truth Behind The Trend

Contrary to the circulating rumors, IShowSpeed did not pass away. These speculations were merely a result of a death hoax that emerged after his notable hospitalization. Reports falsely claimed that he died at the tender age of 18. However, these claims were swiftly debunked. In fact, IShowSpeed was very much alive and even streamed content on August 15, 2023, showcasing his lively spirit.

Why Was IShowSpeed Hospitalized?

Before the onset of the death hoax, IShowSpeed had been on a trip to Japan. During his visit, he faced a medical emergency. A severe sinus infection led to his right eye swelling shut, prompting an immediate hospital visit. He kept his followers in the loop by sharing a YouTube video describing the intense pain he felt, likening it to being stabbed in the eye.

Further, upon his return from the hospital, IShowSpeed didn’t shy away from sharing his harrowing experience with his fans. In his first live stream post-hospitalization, he revealed the severity of his condition. He described enduring the most intense sinus infection he had ever experienced, which led to excruciating cluster headaches. The pain was so unbearable that he even contemplated jumping off a building in Japan. He emphasized the gravity of his situation, stating that the sinus infection nearly took his life.

The Road To Recovery

Now back in the comfort of his home and back to streaming, IShowSpeed is on the path to recovery. He has resumed his online activities and is expected to return to his regular streaming schedule soon. Overall, while the internet can be a source of valuable information, it’s essential to approach trending topics with a discerning eye. Rumors, especially concerning someone’s well-being, can cause unnecessary panic and distress. Thankfully, in the case of IShowSpeed, the rumors were baseless, and he continues to engage and entertain his fans.
