DDG Claps Back At Critic Accusing Him Of Exploiting His Son For Fame

November 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DDG fired back at a fan on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday afternoon when a user accused him of exploiting his baby for fame. “Stop using your son for fame you weirdo,” the user wrote to DDG after he shared a picture of his son. DDG shot back with a quote-tweet: “I never understood this narrative when my son can’t even talk yet. He’s ‘famous’ rn because of his parents. If ur dad posted you when u were young, no one would care lol.”

Fans in the replies were stoked about the clapback. “Lol.. I don’t understand the hat£ on a man posting his own kid. Lots of people do it too and it’s okay why his gotta be different??,” one user wrote. Another added: “You’re just like any other parent posting pictures of their children. How dare u, you’re a monster. I got 5 kids and I’m nobody so his logic is wrong. Lol.”

DDG and Halle Bailey welcomed their son back in December 2023. Less than a year later, the two announced that they were parting ways. “After much reflection and heartfelt conversations, Halle and I have decided to go our separate ways,” the rapper wrote on his Instagram Story. “The decision was not easy, but we believe it’s the best part forward for both of us. I cherish the time we’ve spent together and the love we shared. Despite the changes in our relationship, our love for each other remains deep and true.”

He added that the two will remain friends and continue to co-parent. Check out DDG’s latest post on social media below. Be on the lookout for further updates on DDG on HotNewHipHop.

Drake Honors Son Adonis With Tattoo Of His Name On Back Of His Neck

August 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

There was once a time when Drake declared that he wasn’t hiding the kid from the world; he was hiding the world from his kid. However, after the drama around Adonis’ reveal amid the Pusha T diss died down, the Canadian superstar clearly grew a lot as a parent. At least publicly, since we hope that he had already grown as a father during that time. Nevertheless, the two share a very wholesome and heart-warming relationship in the eyes of the media, going to NBA games together and the like. Now, the 6 God took his love for Adonis to another level: making sure he displays it everywhere he goes.

Furthermore, Drake tattooed Adonis’ name on the back of his neck, and fans spotted him with recently. Pictures of the new ink surfaced around Monday (August 7), and it heartened fans while not coming as much of a surprise. After all, according to Pop Sugar‘s last count back in May, the 36-year-old has at least over 55 tattoos. In addition, this isn’t a particularly new instance, as he already has a portrait of his five-year-old on his back.

Of course, a tattoo can’t replace the feeling of having your son with you. That being said, hopefully this new body art means that the OVO mogul feels at least a little bit closer to Adonis when they’re apart. That’s not to say that they don’t see each other often, though, because Drake always makes sure to document special times together. Most recently, he posted a picture of his son with his mother, Sophie Brusseaux, for Mother’s Day. Also, he paid tribute to his mother, Sandi Graham, and commemorated some family love.

Meanwhile, Adonis has probably accompanied his father to a tour stop or two. We can only guess at how much fun that must be, albeit how hectic being the son of one of the biggest artists in the world must be. In any case, Drizzy is his son’s biggest fan along with Sophie, and you’ll never see him from behind and not see that. For more news and the latest updates on Drake, stay posted on HNHH.

Boosie Badazz Calls His Son “Fine & Mature,” Fans Claim He’s Sexualizing Him

August 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It’s always nice to see a dad supporting their son, but sometimes that support can go a little too far upon closer inspection. Moreover, Boosie Badazz recently caught some flack online for posting a video of his 14-year-old son with a questionable caption. In it, he remarked how “fine” and “mature” he is now, and many called him out for sexualizing him to an uncomfortable degree. On the other hand, though, others argued that this doesn’t step out of line at all, whether referring to the word “fine” itself or to the Baton Rouge MC allowing his young son to go to a Sexyy Red music video shoot. Whether you agree or not, it’s clear that the 40-year-old could’ve used some alternative wording here to avoid this backlash.

“MY SON @rayray_damodel SO Fine n MATURE FOR HIS AGE,” Boosie Badazz wrote on the social media platform. “(He make 15 on the 15th. Hazel light brown eyes N HE THE TALLEST BOY N THE FAM WITH A ATHLETIC BUILD). HE ASK CAN HE GO TO @sexyyred VIDEO SHOOT N CHECK OUT THE GIRLS. my response: F***ING RIGHT YOU CAN N DO YO S**T!! THIS BOY IS GO BE THE TRUTH I SEE IT [crying-laughing emojis] PROUD DADDY!! MY SPERM IS EVERYTHING.”

Boosie Catches Strays For Allegedly Sexualizing Son

Furthermore, comments on Boosie’s post were pretty split as of writing this article. “Y’all do know he older right ?” one fan posited. “Y’all never heard older ppl say ‘that’s a fine young man’? Meaning all the way around that boy the ish.” However, other users weren’t as forgiving in their interpretations. “N***a said his son so fine wtf,” a user clapped back. “And I grew up wit my popz n***a never said no zesty s**t like this.”

While the wording can seem quite odd, some people pointed out that Southern lingo often uses “fine” in a non-sexualized way. Regardless, it seems like debate over that made people lose focus of his interest in a provocative video shoot, which is why this context comes about in the first place. Given the MC’s tendency for controversial comments around male sexuality, it’s hard not to see these comments framed that way. Still, it’s also unlikely that he meant them as such, and a father’s just expressing pride in his son at the end of the day. For more news and the latest updates on Boosie, come back to HNHH.

July 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The hip-hop world recently experienced a tragedy when Gillie Da Kid’s son YNG Cheese was tragically and fatally shot in Philadelphia. Not only that, but he was apparently the sole death in a triple shooting incident that occurred on Thursday, July 20. Moreover, there were no shortage of condolent messages and words of support from fans, friends, family, and industry figures alike. While these messages rang through the community and tried to reckon with this heartbreaking loss, Gillie had stayed silent on it until very recently. Via Instagram, he shared a pained, heartfelt, but thankful message to his loved ones honoring the memory of his son.

“I Miss u like $hit Dev,” Gillie Da Kid’s message began, captioning a picture of YNG Cheese. “My heart will forever have a Black hole in it but u know ur father gotta be strong to hold the family up. Thanks 4 all the support from family, friends, and all of my followers. Y’all really helping me get thru these ruff times. Me and my family appreciate and love y’all.

Furthermore, Gillie’s cohost Wallo267 also shared multiple tributes to YNG Cheese. “Lil cuz usually when I talk to you, I got a lot to tell you,” he wrote when the news broke. “Tonight the pain in my heart & tears spoke to you. I love you beyond life cheese. I got your father, rest well.” In addition, Charlamagne Tha God was one of many rap figures to mourn Gillie’s son’s loss. Others who shared messages of grief and support were Swizz Beatz, Maino, local rapper Mike Knox, Meek Mill, and more.

“What hurts so much about this situation is [what] Wallo and Gillie do for the community of Philadelphia,” Charlamagne remarked. “As much as they pour into these young brothers and try to stray them away from… killing each other and gang violence. To have his son be a victim of gun violence is tragic and a reminder that life is indeed not fair, in no way shape or form.” For more news and the latest updates on Gillie Da King, check back in with HNHH.
Rest In Peace YNG Cheese.

Hot Boy Turk Defends Blueface Celebrating His Son’s Sexuality

July 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Recently, Blueface has been under fire over a controversial clip. In the clip, a group of women is seen dancing provocatively in his home, which he calls a “casual day.” He then takes the camera into a pantry, where his 6-year-old son Javaugn is shown rummaging for snacks. “Son, come here. It’s booty cheeks out here and you’re in here looking for chips and Slim Jims. You ain’t gay is you?,” he asks the boy. Javaugn tells him “no,” and is met with a handshake from the father who enthusiastically calls him “my man.”

The clip got social media users debating whether or not encouraging the young boy to engage in adult situations was appropriate or not, with many suggesting the behavior is pedophilic. Others thought it was strange and offensive of the rapper to celebrate his son not being gay. Hot Boy Turk, on the other hand, doesn’t appear to believe Blueface’s behavior is a problem compared to other current events. He took to social media to weigh in.

Hot Boy Turk Brings Pride Into The Debate

“So y’all getting mad at [Blueface] for being proud of his son not being GAY but didn’t have nothing to say about #GAYPRIDE in front of INNOCENT CHILDREN,” he wrote. Turk’s comments on the controversy got him some backlash as well, with several defending Pride. Various commenters thought comparing Blueface’s behavior to Pride was silly, claiming what’s showcased during the event isn’t nearly as suggestive as what was happening in Blueface’s home. “This is so stupid,” one Instagram user says, “You can look at that little boy and you can see he had no idea what Gay meant.” “Man could have cared less,” they also added, “he just wanted a snack.”

Hot Boy Turk isn’t the only person to publicly come to the rapper’s defense recently. Karlissa Saffold, Blueface’s mother, spoke out about the situation last week. “False alarm, false alarm. He ain’t see nobody’s a**,” she claimed. Saffold continued, “I went off, and they said he was not present to watch nobody’s a**.”

Swizz Beatz & Alicia Keys’ Son Egypt Wows With Piano Skills

July 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It appears that musical genius runs in Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys’ family. Swizz posted on Instagram (and aggregated by The Shade Room) of their son, Egypt, going absolutely ballistic on the piano. The video begins with Swizz coming into the room, where beautiful music is pouring out. That’s when the video sees Egypt seated at the ivories, turned around and looking at his dad while he’s still playing incredible music. He continues to play for the better part of a minute before ending the song and getting up from the piano.

Swizz Beatz posted this to his socials with the caption, “This boy is turning into something else,” with tons of celebratory emojis. The Shade Room adds its own caption to the amazing feat: “Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys’ son Egypt giving y’all a glimpse of what he can do on them keys!” Egypt is 11 years old and is the older brother to Beatz and Keys’ other son, Genesis, age eight. And if he’s doing this at 11, who knows what heights Egypt can take his music career to.

Swizz Beatz, Alicia Keys, & Egypt: A Musical Family

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

Beatz and Keys got married on July 31, 2010. Since then, they’ve had two sons and plenty of musical success. Alicia Keys just recently celebrated her Jay-Z collab anthem “Empire State of Mind” going nine times platinum. Swizz Beatz, a music producer and rapper with almost 20 years of experience in the hip-hop industry, has been feeling nostalgic by sharing a ton of DMX stories and content.

But first and foremost, the couple is still going strong. Other than fostering the musical talents of their boys, they keep giving each other grand romantic gestures. Swizz Beatz recently gave Alicia Keys a $500,000 Virgil Abloh-designed Mercedes-Maybach car. So now Keys is mobbing around in style while her son Egypt is becoming an honest prodigy on the piano. Where Egypt takes his piano powers is anyone’s guess. But we wouldn’t be shocked if he wanted to take up music as something more than a hobby.

Kylie Jenner Shares Adorable BTS Pictures Of Son Aire On Instagram

July 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Whenever Kylie Jenner shares a photo dump on Instagram, there’s always one thing in particular people are on the lookout for: her family. Whether it’s her famous sisters, her flames, or in this case, her wholesome pictures of her kids Stormi and Aire, formerly known as Wolf. Moreover, amid pictures of dogs, strawberries, and other fancy snaps, the social media star posted a few pictures of her son. In one, he walks to a car in a red jacket, showing off that he’ll probably be as stylish as his father Travis Scott. In another, he takes a stroll with his big sister Stormi through a nature-side road, and hopefully they had a fun adventure with their mom.

Speaking of Travis, though, his relationship with Kylie Jenner won’t rekindle anytime soon, at least from what sources indicate. According to a TMZ report, the former couple just wants to be happy as co-parents and nothing more, and would rather nurture that relationship than try one more time at a closer one. Of course, both have kept scandalously busy in that time when it comes to relationships. Currently, Jenner is linked to Timothée Chalamet, whereas the Houston MC is rumored to be dating R&B star SZA.

Kylie & Travis With Stormi

Regardless, it’s always nice to see Kylie show love to her family online, however briefly and simply. What’s more is that it’s a big part of her social media presence, with a mother chunk being putting people on to what will later become hit songs. Recently, she played the then-unreleased (and later officially released) Tory Lanez track “Hurts Me” featuring Trippie Redd on TikTok. While it provoked some controversy due to Lanez’s personal troubles, it still brought it a lot of attention that eventually resulted in an official release.

Meanwhile, apparently the cosmetics mogul’s relationship with Chalamet caused concern among the actor’s friends. While that’s just gossip and alleged sources, it certainly reflects how a lot of people online feel about it. Still, Jenner brushed it all off, it seems, and it’s just the latest example of a new celebrity couple getting some flack online. For more news and the latest updates on Kylie Jenner, stay posted on HNHH.

Blueface Slammed For Showing Son Strippers & Asking Him If He’s Gay

July 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Blueface’s parenting is something that he himself questioned a lot recently- well, whether or not he is one to Chrisean Rock’s baby, that is. Still, a lot of people took care of the other side of that: calling out his questionable parenting on occasion. Moreover, a lot of people recently came down on the California rapper for having strippers in his home and telling his six-year-old son Javaughn to come watch. Not only that, but when he found his son in the pantry looking for snacks, he asked him whether he’s gay or not since he wasn’t outside looking at the “cheeks.” After he asked again, Javaughn responded with a “No,” and Blue celebrated that as the kid’s mother Jaidyn Alexis was also there.

Overall, it was quite the bizarre and worrisome clip to watch. Of course, there were no shortage of critical comments and messages about his Instagram Story post. On one hand, many questioned why Blueface would be so pressed about his son’s sexuality at such an early age. On another, a lot of people think that exposing a child to that and pressuring him to do so is not just weird, but could be downright harmful.

Blueface Questions Son’s Sexuality Amid Strippers

Blueface & Jaidyn Alexis has their son around STRIPPERS, while telling him to come look & asking him is he gay ?? & he says Chrisean won’t be a good mother. Yet you’re taking your son’s innocents away so early. Tryna make a kid look at adult sexual content is pedo behavior pic.twitter.com/frwSmCOdzS

— melaninsun (@thatgirlperiod) July 7, 2023

Regardless, the 26-year-old thinks that his other baby mama Chrisean is just as worrisome of an example. “I got 2 kids an 1 bm for a reason I don’t just have kids with anybody,” Blueface tweeted in March about her. “I’m real particular about the women I have children with. I don’t play about my kids an their well being nurture an care. Rock don’t even take care of me like a women should an I’m a grown man imagine a new born. Physically fighting on the red carpet throwing the first punch after announcing a pregnancy is clearly not mentally fit to put their pride to the side for the better meant of their child.”

While obviously neither is perfect, this also isn’t a good look for his argument of being a better father. Despite all that, the MC’s place is far from empty without it considering his legal troubles as of late. Still, he recently celebrated the removal of his ankle monitor, so hopefully he translates that energy into some caring parenting. For more news and the latest updates on Blueface, stick around on HNHH.

Rihanna Posts Picture Of ASAP Rocky Lifting Son RZA In The Air “Lion King” Style

July 3, 2023 by newhiphopnews

If you look up “power couple” in the dictionary, you’ll find a picture of Rihanna and A$AP Rocky being “fashion killas” with the word “adorable” as its synonym. Moreover, RiRi just posted a wholesome and sweet picture of Rocky lifting their son RZA up in the air in what looks to be a pool. Of course, the image evokes The Lion King vibes, with Rafiki lifting the future King of the Pride Lands, Simba, up to his kingdom’s citizens. More than that, though, it’s just a very cute picture, which the Barbadian singer captioned with: “my Bajan boyz” and the Barbadian flag emoji and a heart emoji. Recently, the family went for a vacation at the superstar’s home, and it’s nice to see that they had a good time.

Furthermore, many fans can’t wait to see the family grow given Rihanna’s current pregnancy. Still, it’s caused some odd debate online given other high-profile celebrity baby bumps. For example, many compared her carrying her second child (for some reason) to Chrisean Rock’s current pregnancy. Social media users drew similarities between both their actions in their situations to interesting and sometimes hilarious results.

Regardless, both artists in this beloved romantic pairing are enjoying a lot of success right now. On one hand, ASAP Rocky took advantage of their escapades to film a music video along with a whole lot of gold chains around his neck. With this recent spotting, hype for his next album Don’t Be D*mb continues to increase, and many fans begged for a single. The New York mogul will hopefully capitalize on this soon, although it’s been so long that we wouldn’t be surprised if he’s just really working hard on making it the best project possible, no matter how much longer it takes. The same goes for Rihanna, actually.

However, while we wait for the follow-up to 2016’s ANTI, the 35-year-old’s previous catalog still shines. She became the first female artist with ten songs with over a billion streams on Spotify. Also, her Kanye West and Paul McCartney collab “FourFiveSeconds” propelled her in that milestone. Hopefully these two continue to enjoy their time together as a family, as the accolades come almost naturally to them. For more on Rihanna and ASAP Rocky, stick around on HNHH.

Management Of Building Flo Rida’s Son Fell From Claims They’re Not At Fault

July 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Back in March, Flo Rida’s 6-year-old son Zohar Dillard fell from the window of an apartment building in New Jersey. The boy and his mother, Alexis Adams, live in the building on the 5th floor. He was critically hurt in the fall, later ending up in the ICU for his various injuries. He suffered collapsed lungs, a shattered pelvis, internal bleeding, metatarsal fractures, and a liver laceration. Following the tragic accident, the boy’s mother filed a lawsuit, claiming that improperly installed windows in the building led to her son’s fall.

She is seeking damages from Goldberg Management, Carlos Machado, and Pitch Perfect 74 LLC. Adams claims that all three parties were “negligent and careless and did not install size guards on the window.” “As a single mom to a special needs child, this feels like a nightmare,” she said following the tragedy. “My heart is broken into a million pieces. It is devastating to see my child go through such pain and trauma knowing that this could’ve been avoided.”

The Fall Put Flo Rida’s Child In The ICU

Adams later said, “I am just so grateful that my son is alive, fighting, and is still here with me. He’s a real-life superhero.” Legal documents obtained by RadarOnline now reveal that Goldberg Management, the building’s property management company, has filed to dismiss the case. The company is claiming they are not at fault for the child’s fall and subsequent injuries.

The 6-year-old boy also has special needs, reportedly diagnosed with autism and hydrocephalus. In May, it was reported that Flo Rida was ordered by judge Shira Atzmon to pay Zohar’s mother $500,000 in child support per year. It has previously been reported that the rapper had been refusing to pay his son’s medical bills.
