NFL Makes Decision On Jay-Z Amid Rape Allegations

December 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

“Ok, I don’t know what’s going on, but are we gonna still have the Super Bowl? I’m just asking for a friend!” That was the question that 50 Cent was demanding answer to following Jay-Z’s rape allegations. It came across as kind of a joke, but to be fair, a lot of people have been wondering the same. Moreover, some fans of the NFL have even been calling for them to sever their ties with Hov. “Hey @NFL Jay Z got a weird case why he’s still around?” one Twitter user quipped. “As a conservative white woman and mother of ten, I am not comfortable watching the Super Bowl this year knowing that Jay Z is so heavily involved with the @NFL as an organization,” another added.

It’s now been four days since the lawsuit initially only against Diddy was amended by the Jane Doe and her rep, Tony Buzbee. To recap, the woman is accusing Jay-Z of raping her back at an after-party following the 2000 MTV Music Video Awards. He’s since vehemently denied the allegations and has also called out Buzbee for these “heinous” acts. It’s worth noting that additional allegations have been coming in since December 8 as well.

AP Sources Clear Up The Questions Swirling Around Jay-Z’s Future With The NFL

With that said, what does all of this mean for Jay-Z’s Roc Nation partnership with the NFL? Will they actually drop their contract? Or will they stand pat and subsequently back him during this shocking series of events? Well, we now have an answer courtesy of AP sources close to matter.

“With the ongoing legal process, there’s no change to the relationship with Roc Nation and that includes the Super Bowl.” The person is remaining nameless due to it being a legal issue. With that now confirmed, it’s going to depend greatly on who you ask if this is good news or not. If things do come out about these allegations being true, then we could be having a very different discussion moving forward. But for the time being, Jay-Z’s ties with the NFL are safe, for now.

Sources Close To Rick Ross Fight Have Alleged Reasons As To Why It Broke Out

July 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

There was a “Rumble in the Jungle” so to speak over the weekend in Vancouver, Canada between Rick Ross and Drake fans. The out-of-town nemesis rolled into the Ignite Music Festival with some of his crew, which according to TMZ included DJ Sam Sneak, his manager, some friends, in addition to two bodyguards. At the time of the original report, the reasons as to why the tussle began were fairly murky. The belief was that it was because Ross asked the DJ to spin Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss record “Not Like Us”. That then got The Boy’s fans riled up, which then led to the heated and intense confrontation that saw Ross’s entourage get beat down.

Well, it turns out that speculation is allegedly true. Sources near the scene cited that, as well as the “Champagne Moments” MC’s disses online. Rick Ross continually antagonized Drake for weeks during the peak of the beef. From calling him BBL Drizzy to “cupcake Drake” and even questioning how Black he really his, Rozay was always in the comments of any social media post that mentioned the Canadian superstar. Even though the latter took a pretty clear-cut L to K-Dot, people back are home are still not going to take any slander from anyone, especially if they are on their turf.

Rick Ross Was The Antagonizer In The Nasty Fight

However, Rozay has clearly been taking this on the chin, even laughing it off. “I thought they were bottle service boys ha! Vancouver was fun, til next time”. Drake is not totally innocent in all of this either, as he liked a post from a Canadian hip-hop news account that poked fun at the fans throwing down with his foe. Additionally, him and Ross’s ex Tia Kemp have been gassing each other up online. It seems like The Boy is telling his enemy, “Two can play at that game”.

What are your thoughts on the reasons the Rick Ross fight ensued? Are you surprised by this alleged truth, why or why not? Do you see this beef between Ross and Drake going further? Do you see the possibility of the two rappers getting into a physical altercation? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.

The Fugees Are Reportedly Working On A New Album

June 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

There are not many hip-hop collectives that you can rank above the Fugees. Even with their short run as a group, the amount of creative talent between Wyclef Jean, Pras Mitchell, and Ms. Lauryn Hill is nearly unmatched. They left an indelible mark on the community through the effortless blending of other genres while also being lyrically sound. The Score is recognized as an essential 1990s record, but also a must-listen for any fan of rap. They laid down so many great tracks like “Killing Me Softly With His Song”, “Ready or Not”, and “Fu-Gee-La”. Now, it seems the Fugees are looking to craft more unforgettable tracks, as they are reportedly working on a new album.

According to an undisclosed source with Page Six, the three-headed monster is ready to make a comeback after 28 years. Following their unfortunate split, Hill, Jean, and Pras all went on to forge their own paths. Only one of them extended beyond the 90s decade, and the other two dropped just one record in 1998. But as of late the Fugees have been performing more frequently under their stage name.

The Fugees Are Making A Comeback?!

A post shared by HOLLYWOOD UNLOCKED (@hollywoodunlocked)

According to Hollywood Unlocked, it was around this time last year that they performed at the Roots Picnic in Philadelphia. Additionally, the Fugees made appearances at the Global Citizen’s Festival in Central Park and then the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, later that same year. Now, pretty soon, Hill and the gang are going to be hitting the stage on 21 separate occasions. In August, the tour celebrating the 25th anniversary of The Miseducation is restarting after Hill was forced to cancel her run last year due to a serious vocal strain. Her and the guys will be traveling across the United States as well as Europe. May be that will be the time they record some new music together?

What are your thoughts on The Fugees reportedly working on a new album? How soon do you think this will drop and why? Where do you rank them all time in terms of rap groups? Should it be a project with no features, or should they include some? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding the Fugees. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Bianca Censori’s Outfits During Kanye West Relationship Aren’t Impressing Her Family

November 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The experience of being a newlywed brings with it plenty of butterflies, but when the honeymoon period of a relationship ends, reality can hit both partners pretty quickly. That may be what’s unfolding for Kanye West and Bianca Censori at this time, as the pair are currently spending time on separate continents. Sources have alleged they’re “taking a break” while the father of four pours his energy into music and the architect hangs out in Australia, where she’s kept busy reconnecting with her family.

In recent weeks, blogs have been filled with rumours of Censori’s friends being concerned about her marriage. West has a reputation as a very controlling figure to outsiders. His bride’s loved ones hosted an intervention in hopes of waking her up to this reality earlier this month. Among the things that the multi-talent has notably influenced Bianca is her fashion choices. Since marrying Ye, we’ve seen an almost uncomfortable amount of skin – especially during their time out together in Europe.

Bianca Censori’s Style Has Shifted Significantly Since Meeting Ye

According to The US Sun, many of these looks left Censori’s family feeling uncomfortable when photos came out online. “There was a point some months ago when Ye and Bianca were going to meet up with her family, but they were not happy with his antics at all,” a source tells the outlet. “Ever since then they’ve made no secret that they think she can do better, and don’t like seeing her in these [wild] outfits on the internet, it makes them uncomfortable.”

Interestingly, the 28-year-old wore a tiny top showing plenty of cleavage during an outing in Melbourne with her sister a few days ago, proving that she’s still comfortable flaunting her figure, even without her husband by her side. While Bianca Censori spends time Down Under getting back in touch with her roots, Kanye West is keeping busy in Saudi Arabia working on new music with Ty Dolla Sign. After some hiccups, the duo finally premiered their new “Vultures” track featuring Lil Durk and Bump J this past weekend. Tap into that at the link below, and let us know if you think Ye and his wife can work through their differences in the comments.

Is Jamie Foxx Engaged? Actor Planning Alyce Huckstepp Proposal Before Having A Baby, Sources Say

November 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jamie Foxx spent most of 2023 recovering from a health scare that initially left fans wondering if the actor would survive. Thankfully, the “Gold Digger” hitmaker pulled through, and new reports allege he plans to close out the year with a seriously big bang. According to RadarOnline‘s sources, Foxx might be proposing to his girlfriend Alyce Huckstepp this coming holiday season, and he even sees a baby together in their future cards.

Interestingly, this update comes just months after reports said that the 55-year-old wants to reconcile with his ex, Katie Holmes. Seeing as nothing has transpired there, it’s safe to bet the rumours were untrue. Instead, Foxx is said to be “smitten” and “having fun” with his blonde beauty, though they’re still keeping a future together in mind. They first got together in 2022, and while the multi-talent’s “medical complication” might’ve pushed some women away, it apparently only brought him and Huckstepp closer together.

Getting On One Knee May Be in Jamie Foxx’s Holiday Plans

A post shared by the Jasmine BRAND (@thejasminebrand)

“Jamie did not know if he was going to live, and he truly feels like he’s getting a second chance at life. He wants to make it count,” someone dished to The National Enquirer this week. “He’s totally in love. He’s going to propose soon — probably over the holidays — and knowing Jamie, he’ll make it very romantic,” they further speculated. Foxx is already a father of two daughters, 29-year-old Corinne and 15-year-old Anelise, from past partnerships. He reportedly desires to have a son and would love to have a little one around him and Huckstepp’s home.

For those of you who are more concerned about Jamie Foxx’s return to the big screen than the status of his relationship, you’ll be very happy with a recent update on his career. In the late summer, it was confirmed that the “Blame It” hitmaker currently has eight projects in production, meaning will be seeing plenty of Foxx in no time. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Jeezy & Jeannie Mai Divorce Due To Disagreements On “Family Values & Expectations”: Report

September 19, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It’s been several days since news of Jeannie Mai and Jeezy’s divorce first broke, but still, the internet has plenty to say about the situation. The mother of one has been under attack for seemingly fetishizing Black men in a resurfaced clip, and social media sleuths haven’t had trouble finding other evidence of trouble brewing for her and her ex. According to Entertainment Tonight, sources have revealed that the reason for the pair’s split has to do with their values.

“They had different views, and each felt like their needs weren’t being completely met,” an insider dished to the outlet, specifically citing “family expectations” as a driving factor in the divorce. Interestingly, an old interview found Mai discussing how she and Jeezy trigger one another, leading some to suggest they could’ve never lasted long-term. “I didn’t notice that I had a hot temper until I got with [him],” the socialite previously shared of her second marriage.

Jeannie Mai and Jeezy Fell Out of Alignment

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

From the sounds of things, the “Holy Ghost” hitmaker and his co-parent mirrored each other in difficult ways and certainly weren’t afraid to call the other out on their toxic behaviour. This obviously sounds like a good thing for anyone naturally inclined to self-reflection and growth but for the average person – especially one with the hectic schedule of a celebrity – it’s not always ideal in a marriage. “He never told me to fix my temper,” the 44-year-old noted, adding that personally strived to heal that part of herself to avoid losing a relationship. Ultimately things didn’t work out in the couple’s favour, but at least they can take any lessons learned into their next endeavours.

Amid news of Jeannie Mai and Jeezy’s divorce, more past interviews with The Real host have fans asking if the signs were hiding in plain sight. An astrologer once told Mai that her marriage to the rapper wouldn’t be her last, and time will surely tell how accurate his prediction is. Read more about that at the link below, and let us know who you think she should link up with next in the comments.

Bianca Censori Is A “Personal Assistant” To Kanye West, Sources Claim

September 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Since Kanye West first introduced the new woman in his life to fans less than a year ago, the couple has sparked plenty of controversy. Initially, Bianca Censori was compared to the rapper’s ex, Kim Kardashian. This was mostly due to her curvaceous figure and long, dark hair. The young woman has undergone some major changes to her appearance since tying the know with Ye. Perhaps the biggest is cutting off her inches in favour of a short, boyish style.

There’s much that remains unknown about Censori and her relationship with Ye. Just a few weeks ago, reports revealed that her Australian family has a serious criminal history and mob ties. Nevertheless, it’s unclear just how close she’s been with them since moving to America. Interestingly, sources who claim to be close to Censori have been expressing worry about her in the media for several weeks now. They’ve been describing the fashionista’s union with West as “so scary” and “isolating.”

Bianca Censori’s “Brilliant” Mind Not Being Put to Good Use, Insiders Fear

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by tJ (@tj.saw1)

Those reports only continue today (September 18). The US Sun alleges that the 28-year-old’s “brilliant” mind is being rendered useless in her current situation. “Bianca originally took the helm of several of Ye’s real estate projects and helped him spearhead his design ideas,” the source explained. “She’s a brilliant architect and a designer, but she also happens to be really good at communicating with Kanye. She’s been helping him communicate with people who are working with him on various projects, so she’s been relegated to more of a personal assistant role.” Apparently, people in their circle even call her “the Kanye Whisperer.”

It’s obvious that some feel as though Kanye West is the one to blame for Bianca Censori’s outlandish fashion choices as of late. However, even before she exchanged vows with the 46-year-old, the Australian was comfortable showing off her body in front of the camera. In fact, earlier this summer, steamy topless photos from her past modelling days hit the internet and caused a stir. Read more about those at the link below, and check back later for more music/pop culture news updates.

Kim Kardashian’s Desire To Talk To Bianca Censori About Kanye West Refuted

September 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s past marriage needs no introduction at this point, but people clearly still want to have them linked in any way possible. Moreover, a recent report suggested that the SKIMS mogul actually wanted to talk to the rapper’s new wife, Bianca Censori. Specifically, it alleged that she sought to “talk sense” into Censori before it’s “too late” in relation to the Chicago native’s volatility. However, it seems like this was pure hearsay, although the basis for this conclusion is another unverified report. According to Page Six, Kim actually doesn’t want anything to do with the new couple.

Furthermore, an alleged source reportedly spoke to the publication and said that the reality TV star has “very much moved on” from the whole situation. “She absolutely does not want to talk to her,” the source expressed. “Kim is actually a firm believer in letting people be on their own journey and figure out life. She would never call someone and warn them. Kim only wishes Kanye and Bianca the best.” In addition, the source also shared that Kim Kardashian in only concerned about “matters of co-parenting” their four children.

Kim Kardashian At Paris Fashion Week

What’s more is that this isn’t the only recent conflicting pair of reports that emerged around Kim’s thoughts on Kanye this week. For example, social media recently went wild after pictures apparently showing Ye and Censori engaging in a sexual act emerged online. One story claimed that Kim Kardashian is incredibly worried and embarrassed about the whole incident. However, other sources reportedly came forward to publications and said that she actually doesn’t care at all. Whether she does or not isn’t really important; after all, it’s an incredibly personal matter that doesn’t change our perception of it.

Meanwhile, as stories about Kanye keep emerging, we’re sure that the media will continue to fixate on this past relationship. Each person needs their time to heal and move away from that phase, for better or worse. With that in mind, we’ll see what else comes out concerning their current status and how they’ll continue raising their children. Check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Kanye West, Bianca Censori, and Kim Kardashian.

Justin Bieber & Scooter Braun Management Deal Will Continue, Sources Confirm

August 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In the music industry today, it’s rare to see artists find managers that they’re able to work with as they evolve for more than a few years. Of course, there are exceptions like Justin Bieber and Scooter Braun. They’ve been together since the Canadian was just a young boy from Stratford, Ontario sharing singing videos in his living room. Due to his many health struggles, Bieber has taken some time out of the spotlight as of late. On Friday (August 18), reports began circulating via Puck that he and Braun haven’t spoken in several months.

According to the original gossip tip, the “Baby” hitmaker has been shopping around for new management options. Rumour has it that lawyers are even involved. However, just hours after that news hit the net, Entertainment Tonight shared an exclusive report stating that Braun and his client have no bad blood between them. “Justin and Scooter are still working together. Justin is not taking meetings to look for new management. The two recently worked on something together,” multiple people have told the outlet.

It’s unclear exactly what they’re cooking up, but the last time we heard from the vocalist was early on in 2023. At the time, he joined Future to bring back everyone’s favourite R&Bieber vibes on Don Toliver’s Love Sick album. Their joint effort is called “Private Landing,” and has left fans hoping we’ll hear the 29-year-old revisit his Journals era. Months before that, he and the Cactus Jack artist connected on another hit single, “Honest.”

While there have been questions raised about the status of his relationship with one of his longest-standing clients, Scooter Braun’s talent roster definitely isn’t hurting. Apart from having both The Kid LAROI and Ariana Grande under his wing, the industry executive also recently signed rising rap diva Kaliii.

Jamie Foxx’s Next Mission: Reconcile With Katie Holmes, According To Sources

August 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Though there was no shortage of conflicting reports at first, Jamie Foxx seems to be making a steady recovery from the mysterious medical emergency he suffered during filming earlier this year. He’s been pouring his energy into healing his mind and body since then, and over the past few weeks, we’ve even seen him out and about enjoying some of his favourite activities. Foxx has yet to share specifics on his condition with fans, but according to RadarOnline, the latest regarding the Project Power actor’s love life is that he’s looking to spin the block.

Foxx’s ex, Katie Holmes, has reportedly caught his eye again. They first got together in 2013 after she ended her marriage to Mission Impossible star Tom Cruise. For the next six years, the pair was on-again-off-again, until 2019, when they ultimately called it quits. In the past, Holmes has said that the “Gold Digger” hitmaker’s partying lifestyle is what ended their union. “It has been many years of him stepping out with other women. He’s disrespectful and their lives were different. His partying ways don’t fit with hers as she’s focused on raising her daughter and working,” a source told UsWeekly at the time.

Jamie Foxx’s Recovery is Pointing Him Toward Katie Holmes

It seems that Foxx’s health scare has him re-evaluating the relationships in his life, among other things. “Jamie has dated scores of beautiful women in his life, but none came close to matching what he had with Katie,” one insider dished. “Their chemistry was off the charts. It was a romance born of passion but became so much more. In hindsight, Jamie can’t believe he let her slip through his fingers.”

From the sounds of things, Jamie Foxx is laser-focused on bringing his former lover back into his life at this time. Thankfully the backlash he faced after a recent IG Story scandal has died down enough for him to continue manifesting that, along with a full, healthy recovery. Read more about the mixed reaction to Foxx’s controversy at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
