Nicki Minaj’s Husband Kenneth Petty Gets Dragged For Using Slur During Livestream

August 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Nicki Minaj’s marriage to Kenneth Petty continues to be controversial for various reasons. Regardless, the “FTCU” rapper never hesitates to include him in her chats with the Barbz on TikTok live. Yesterday, for example, the pair appeared on the platform to give viewers some tips on dealing with critics.

“Don’t you let anybody or anything steal your motherf*ckin’ joy,” Nicki declared. While that’s solid advice, it’s Petty’s follow-up that has social media users upset. “That’s right, especially little f****** or f*** boys,” he said. Most viewers didn’t appreciate his use of the derogatory term and are slamming him for it. Many are also calling Nicki out for failing to correct him, particularly since she has a large LGBTQ+ fanbase.

Nicki Minaj & Kenneth Petty Receive Backlash For Offensive Livestream Remark

As a result, some are saying that Nicki doesn’t really care about her Barbz at all, though this is unconfirmed. It’s possible that she didn’t hear what he said, or simply didn’t want to draw more attention to the offensive comment. Either way, this isn’t the first time one of her interactions with fans has gone wrong. Earlier this month, a former Barb filed a lawsuit against Nicki, accusing her of slander. He alleges that she embarrassed him on Instagram Live, accused him of being a paid saboteur, called him a stalker, and more. Reportedly, he’s seeking a whopping $5 million in damages for reputational harm, emotional distress, and financial loss.

Her attorney Judd Burstein issued a statement about the lawsuit on Monday, accusing the former fan of “harassing Nicki on social media for years on end to no avail.” Burstein also alleged that he’s trying to “shake her down financially with manifestly false allegations and legally frivolous claims.” What do you think of Nicki Minaj’s husband Kenneth Petty using a gay slur on TikTok live?

JJ Redick Responds To N-Word Allegations

June 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

JJ Redick was recently appointed as the head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers. Overall, it is a hiring that has been quite controversial. Redick has no coaching experience in the pros, or even college. However, his podcast with LeBron James has demonstrated elite basketball knowledge. On Tuesday, Redick found himself being scrutinized for another reason. In a tweet from Halleemah Nash, Redick was accused of calling the woman the N-word while she was working with the Duke basketball team.

“I’ve only been called the N word to my face by a white man once in my life and it was on the campus of Duke University while I was doing work with the basketball team,” Nash wrote. “And today he was named the new head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers. What a world.” Subsequently, this tweet went viral, and NBA fans were trying to make sense of all of this. Numerous questions were raised, and some pondered whether or not Redick would lose his job.

According to TMZ, Redick’s team has put out a short statement about the controversy. “No, it never happened,” the spokesperson said. Since the tweet came out, neither the Lakers, LeBron James, nor ESPN has said anything. This morning, fans are curious as to whether or not Stephen A. Smith will tackle this on First Take. Either way, this is not a good look for Redick or the Lakers franchise, who were already under scrutiny for hiring him, in the first place.

Let us know what you think about this controversy, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that Redick will see any ramifications from all of this?

Chief Keef Reacts To Adin Ross Saying The N-Word While Rapping “I Don’t Like”

October 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It seems like Chief Keef may have gotten a little more than what he bargained for during his birthday hangout with Adin Ross. Moreover, the streamer was celebrating his big day when the rapper pulled up to surprise him, and apparently they had a great time together. However, during his performance of “I Don’t Like” at Adin’s birthday party, he and the crowd got a pretty eyebrow-raising surprise. Well, actually, it wasn’t too surprising for Sosa. To elaborate, he extended the microphone out to Ross, who was onstage with him, for the parts of the song’s chorus that go “a snitch n***a, a b***h n***a,” and so on.

In a move that may or may not get him a load of backlash, Adin Ross responded to Chief Keef’s supposed prompt by saying the n-word. Then, the Chicago MC exclaimed excitedly and got even more turned up and excited as he kept “I Don’t Like” going. Overall, it goes without saying that this can prompt a massive debate over who can say it, the circumstances behind it, and a whole lot more cans of worms. Still, it seems like Keef was okay with it, and while that’s not an excuse, it also probably mitigated a stronger reaction to it.

Setting that bout of seemingly excused casual racism aside, it looks like the two really enjoyed the night. For example, Adin Ross and Chief Keef went out to gamble in Las Vegas, and you can see a lot of clips of their shenanigans down below. Apparently, they walked away with about $60K in winnings, so either there was good birthday luck or Sosa is a lucky charm of sorts. Either way, it seems like everything turned out to be a fun time for both.

Meanwhile, the drill pioneer isn’t in fans’ best graces right now, as he delayed his long-awaited and hyped project Almighty So 2 once again, this time all the way to mid-December of this year. Amid a scrapped full verse for Drake’s For All The Dogs that divided listeners, die-hard Sosa fans are understandably peeved right now. It’s great to see the 28-year-old enjoy his life… it’s just a tad frustrating because he could be celebrating an album launch alongside a friend’s birthday. Regardless, stay posted on HNHH for more news and updates on Chief Keef and Adin Ross.

Erica Mena Claims People “Want To Be Offended” By Slur Controversy

September 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

At the end of last month, Erica Mena got hit with some major backlash after her argument with Spice on Love & Hip Hop Atlanta got out of hand. The two of them got into it at a restaurant, and Spice ended up telling Mena that her son “hates” her. This resulted in Mena flipping a table, before calling Spice a “blue monkey.”

Countless viewers called Mena out for her use of the slur, and ultimately, she was kicked off of the show. Though MTV cut ties with Mena amid the backlash, they continued filming for a short time after the debacle took place. Some footage of Mena discussing the incident with her castmates has been making its rounds online, showing Mena claiming that people just “want to be offended” by her comment.

In the clip, Mena claims that she went off on Spice because she brought up her son. Yandy Smith then explains to her that her attempt to offend Spice managed to offend everybody of African descent. “No, It’s you guys that want to be offended by it. It has nothing to do with you,” Mena responds. “It is 2023. Why as minorities are we comparing ourselves to that?” she asks. Mena then went on to defend her decision to pop off on Spice. She also seemed to defend her use of the term, however, she quickly circled back to clarify her statement.

“The b*tch crossed the line, she violated me by coming for my son, and I would do it all over [again] if she does it again,” Mena says. Smith then asks her what she meant by “do it all over again,” wondering if she meant using the slur. “I didn’t say I would say the same thing,” she clarified. Later in the clip, she says, “I’m Puerto Rican and Dominican. I have Black in my family, I have Black children, I married a Black man.” She continues, “There’s not a racist bone in my f*cking body, I’m just as Black as probably all of you.” What do you think of Mena’s recent comments?
