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.

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

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.

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. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more music/pop culture news updates.

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.

Police Find Bullets At Duane “Keefe D” Davis’ House Amid 2Pac’s Murder Investigation: Report

July 25, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Las Vegas police reportedly recovered several .40 caliber bullets while executing a search warrant on Duane “Keefe D” Davis’ home in Henderson, Nevada, last week. The search was conducted for a renewed investigation into the murder of 2Pac in 1996. Davis is the uncle of ‘Pac’s alleged killer Orlando Anderson.

According to the Daily Mirror, a Vegas police source says the bullets will undergo forensic testing “to determine if they have any link to the bullets found in 2Pac’s body or on the scene of the homicide.” Detectives have kept clothing and bullets from the scene of the infamous shooting for over 25 years.

“Microfibers or residues from the weapon or the bullet could prove to be a link,” the source added. “There is no information yet on the history of the bullets, how old they are, or their significance. And it will take some time to assess how the bullets play a role in this case.”

The source went on to confirm that police executed the search warrant because “investigators feel they can assemble enough information that could lead to an arrest or indictment.” Despite the possibility, they admitted, “it is a long shot that the bullets will be the ones from 1996.” In addition to the bullets, police seized computers, hard drives, and various photos from the 1990s of possible suspects from Keefe D’s home. Investigators will eventually present their findings to a Las Vegas grand jury to determine whether to pursue an indictment.

As for Anderson’s role in Pac’s death, the accused killer was himself murdered just two years later in 1998. On the night of Pac’s death, Anderson famously got into a fight with him in the lobby of the MGM Grand following the Bruce Seldon vs. Mike Tyson boxing fight. Pac was shot and killed later that night.

Amanda Bynes’ Life After Psychiatric Hold Is “Sad And Isolated,” Sources Say

May 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It’s been over a month since we reported that Amanda Bynes was released from the hospital following a lengthy psychiatric hold. Prior to checking herself in for help, the Hairspray actress was found wandering naked through downtown Los Angeles while coming out of a psychotic break. Her parents have expressed no plans to reinstate the embattled starlet’s conservatorship, though a new report from TMZ reveals that life since leaving the hospital hasn’t been so cheery for Bynes.

Sources close to the 37-year-old said she’s presently focusing on where she’s going next in life while prioritizing her medical needs. She apparently doesn’t have many people in her life at this time and isn’t putting the same energy into her passions as she was before her incident. Though she no longer acts, Bynes has poured plenty of time into other creative pursuits, such as fashion design and pursuing the art of being a nail technician.

Though she’s not quite her normal self again just yet, the California native has been diligent in attending her outpatient appointments. Additionally, she’s been spending time speaking with therapists and staying on top of her medications. It’s certainly sad to hear that Bynes has been mostly alone, but friends are happy to see she hasn’t reunited with her toxic ex, Paul Michael. The pair were planning a wedding, though he wasn’t adequately supporting his partner while she was struggling.

For the time being, the former child star is apparently in frequent contact with her parents and siblings. Despite her rocky relationship with them in the past, they’ve become a strong support system for their daughter as she gets back on her feet following another bout of turmoil. Which of Amanda Bynes’ past works is your favourite? Let us know in the comments, and tap back in later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Nelly & Ashanti Are “Very Happy” Together, Sources Say

May 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Nelly and Ashanti are one of rap and R&B’s most enduring pop culture couple obsessions, even ten years after they broke up. However, that seems to have changed over the past few months, as more and more rumors and hints point to the two being back together. Moreover, sources reportedly close to the two recently spoke to Entertainment Tonight and confirmed that they were back together. “Both of them are very happy,” one source said. Another added that the stars are “enjoying their time together.” It’s been clear for a while that the former couple was on consistently good terms, but this is a big update to that amicable relationship.

For those unaware, rumors of their rekindled romance first started floating around in February. Furthermore, the first piece of fan evidence came when eagle-eyed social media users spotted them apparently wearing the same chain in different posts. In fact, it’s very similar to the Cuban link that Nelly took to the Grammys this year, which Ashanti then posted a picture in. Of course, it’s not like the Country Grammar star has a monopoly on that style of jewelry, so it remained just speculation.

However, a more suggestive piece of evidence was their intimate performance at a pool party, which saw them get up close and personal. With that steamy video in mind, fans couldn’t imagine it being anything other than a relationship. Still, Ashanti had previously denied that she was getting back together with Nelly in an interview with Andy Cohen following a 2021 concert. “I saw a lot of comments,” the “Body On Me” singer explained. “I mean, my reaction was, ‘wow!’ It was a lot of comments and people wanting that. What I will say is we’re in a better place. We’re cool now. We had some conversations, so it’s cool.”

Meanwhile, the alleged reconciled couple also popped out together during the fight between Ryan Garcia and Gervonta Davis. What’s more is that people spotted them holding hands as they left the premises. No matter what’s going on between the two, it’s safe to say that they know exactly what they’re doing. Maybe it’s just a much closer friendship than social media expects, or they’re just letting people connect the dots for themselves. Regardless, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Ashanti and Nelly.

Kendall Jenner & Bad Bunny “Really Like Each Other, Taking Things Slow,” Says Source

March 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner are pop culture’s most talked about rumored romance right now, but the two are reportedly taking things slow. Moreover, a source allegedly close to the relationship spoke to ET about the pairing and its status. According to said source, Jenner’s doing great after her split from Devin Booker of NBA fame, and is “focusing on herself, work, family and friends.” Also, the source said she’s making plenty of time for the Puerto Rican reggaetón phenomenon. While their relationship still isn’t set in stone, all signs point to a flowering and fun fling for the two, at least if this source is to be believed.

“They’re taking things slow for now and seeing where things go in the future,” they claimed. “They both really like each other and are just hanging out and having a good time. They get along very well and have mutual friends, so the people around them really like them together. Her family is supportive of their relationship. Everyone is happy that Kendall’s happy.” Previously, another source had told ET that the pair was “keeping things flirty.”

However, since then people picked up on a lot more public outings and paparazzi pictures to add to speculation. For example, the two recently shared a kiss and hug after a sushi date in Los Angeles. Onlookers spotted them on Tuesday and many noted that pictures taken didn’t explicitly show a kiss. Still, that’s likely just people trying to convince themselves that it didn’t happen. They both wore pretty casual attire for the occasion, which might be odd considering their eclectic styles and statements much of the time. However, hopefully they’ve had time to get to know each other without worrying about what people will say about a sushi date or night out.

On that note, the two first sparked romance rumors after people spotted them apparently making out at an L.A. club. While social media reacted strongly, days since have seen fans come around to the idea. Of course, people made their Kardashian curse jokes and all that, but only time will tell. Regardless, stay logged into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Kendal Jenner and Bad Bunny.

Michael B. Jordan & Amber Jepson Not Dating, Sources Say They’ve Never Met

January 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Breakups are obviously painful for anyone. For celebrities, though, that hurt is often magnified by a thousand thanks to tabloid magazines and internet super sleuths. When two stars go their separate ways, they often hear about each other’s every move in the weeks after. When their former lover begins dating again, they’re unable to avoid the headlines and Twitter trends. Such has been the case recently for Michael B. Jordan, who split from Lori Harvey in mid-2022.

The pair were “couple goals” for many, with the possibility of engagement seemingly on the horizon. However, they suddenly ended their union, and have since scrubbed all traces of one another from social media.

For his part, the Black Panther actor has been working on his career goals in recent months. Harvey, on the other hand, confirmed rumours of her first high-profile romance since she and Jordan split at her birthday party last weekend. Presently, she’s dating Damson Idris, and the two look incredibly happy together.

As the model and actor became Instagram official, memes joked about how the 35-year-old may be reacting to the news. At the same time, the rumour mill began turning, and it was suggested that Jordan has been spending time with a British bikini model named Amber Jepson.

The Sun shared the gossip earlier this week, claiming that he’s “enamoured” with the 26-year-old blonde. They said that he’s “replied to some of her social media posts” recently, and she’s keen to “see where the relationship can go.”

However, The Shade Room has since denied the rumoured romance, a statin that a reliable source close to Jordan shut the allegations down. “The two have never met before,” they added.

As previously mentioned, the California native is pouring most of his energy into work. His directorial debut, Creed III is due out on March 3. “I’ve grown more sure of who I am, holding agency in my own story, maturing personally, growing professionally and learning from the greats like Ryan Coogler, most recently Denzel Washington, and other top-tier directors I respect. All of which sets the table for this moment,” he told Variety of the exciting journey.

Of course, aside from working behind the camera, Jordan will also star in the upcoming film.
