Meek Mill Goes Off On Outlets Spreading Salacious Rumors About Him & Diddy

November 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rumors of an alleged sexual relationship between Meek Mill and Diddy have been circulating for some time now. They were sparked back in February when producer Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones sued the Bad Boy founder for alleged grooming and more. In the lawsuit, Lil Rod alleges that Diddy had a sexual relationship with “a Philadelphia rapper who dated Nicki Minaj.” This eventually led to theories that he was referring to Meek Mill, which has not been confirmed.

Meek Mill has become a frequent target for online hate and clowning regardless, and he’s had enough. Earlier today, he took to X to respond to various reports that Diddy hosted a wild birthday party for him in 2014. “None of these publications are owned by black men posting things to destroy the names and brands of the culture! Ima stand on this I know it’s somebody behind this! Ima start a war behind it too when I find out!!!!” he captioned the post.

Meek Mill Declares War On Whoever Is Behind Diddy Rumors

Meek Mill continued, also arguing that there’s a “war on Black men” and slamming publications for spreading lies about him. “Just think about it you are waking up to a bunch of non black owned publication posting major lies about me! Where all the pr people go that was around me! Everybody see what’s going on I’m not gonna be quiet it’s was war on black men!” he wrote.

Meek Mill’s post comes just a few days after a clip of him went viral. In it, he seemingly shuts down rumors that he’s affiliated with Diddy in any way. “This is real life,” he says. “No Diddy gang. Meek Milly in real life. Don’t ever disrespect me.” This earned a reaction from one of Diddy’s sons, Justin Combs, who later made it clear that he was disappointed by the video. “Smh,” Justin wrote simply alongside a face-palm emoji following the viral moment.

Keyshia Cole Gets Choked Up During Performance Amid Hunxho Breakup Rumors

November 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

As of late, rumors that Keyshia Cole and Hunxho have gone their separate ways have been flying. Earlier this month, fans of the songstress grew only more suspicious when she declared herself “single asf” in a since-deleted post. Days later, she shared a mysterious message about heartbreak, which was accompanied by Trina’s 2007 track, “Single Again.”

Now, a clip of Cole performing her song “I Remember” is making its rounds online. In it, she’s seen getting choked up and appears to nearly burst into tears. Social media users are speculating that this could be due to the alleged fresh breakup, and are leaving their mixed reactions to the viral moment in The Shade Room‘s comments section. While most are leaving supportive messages for Cole, others argue that it’s possible her emotions during the performance weren’t related to Hunxho.

“When you a singer – it don’t have to be one person… it really be everybody u love that hurt you! It could be anything. Let her feel.. it’s good to still have artists around that feel their music! It’s genuine,” one Instagram user writes. “She’s human and love can hurt sometimes,” another says. This is far from the first time fans speculated about Keyshia Cole and Hunxho’s love life, however. In May of this year, Gloss Up shared some flirty photos with the Atlanta rapper to promote their collab. This earned a response from Cole, who made it clear she had no hard feelings.

“Him being Yo ‘sneaky link’ When U have a ‘Man you bout to marry’ is nasty work,” she responded. “But I wish u all the best on your project Love I was actually rooting for the video to come out.” Gloss Up later accused Hunxho of being manipulative, and encouraged Cole to leave him before she got hurt.

Yung Bleu Sends Fans Into A Frenzy With Suspicious Message To Rod Wave’s Ex

November 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The mother of Rod Wave’s twins, Dee, recently took to X with a message about a relationship. “Nobody hit it since you hit it,” she wrote alongside a series of emojis. Unfortunately, however, her post quickly got the attention of Yung Bleu. He threw some serious shade in his reply, joking that he wasn’t buying Dee’s claim. “Sike,” he said, adding a laughing emoji.

Of course, this prompted a great deal of speculation among social media users. Many even theorized that Yung Bleu was trying to allege that he himself slept with Dee. “Bleu chill you bouta have rod wave canceling his tour,” one fan in The Neighborhood Talk‘s comments section wrote. “Rod about to write a whole album about this,” another said. According to him, however, his post was completely misinterpreted. He joined in amid the discussion, clarifying that he didn’t even know Dee was the mother of Rod Wave’s children, and that he was not trying to insinuate they slept together.

“I ain’t even no that was his bm,” he explained. “And I dnt no her at all that’s on my daughter. I was just on twitter retweeting stuff.” Dee went on to address the misunderstanding on X too, confirming that she has no relationship with Yung Bleu. “That man retweeted my post just like errbody else and I commented just like I replied and cursed errbody else out yall be on weird timing no n***a I’m f*cking quoting my sh*t [laughing emoji]. We don’t play like dat.”

This is far from the only time fans have speculated about Dee’s love life, however. Earlier this year, footage of her allegedly cheating on Rod Wave surfaced online. He proceeded to share a clip of the two of them arguing over the phone and later teased a breakup song about the situation.

Bambi Has Fans In A Frenzy After Posting Flirty Photo With Unknown Man

November 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that Bambi has dealt with her fair share of relationship issues in recent years. The reality star decided to part ways with her ex Lil Scrappy, with whom she shares three children, in 2023. Now, one of her latest posts has led supporters to believe that she could have her sights set on a new man. Earlier this week, she took to Instagram to repost a photo of herself getting up close and personal with someone, who used a series of red heart emojis in his caption.

Unsurprisingly, her post has earned big reactions from social media users in The Shade Room’s comment section. Many are comparing the man’s appearance to the late King Von’s. Others are congratulating Bambi on what they speculate to be a new relationship. “It’s cr*zy how we all think the same because I said ‘Von?!’ Immediately too,” one fan writes. “Having a photo shoot to show that you’re dating is cr*zy,” another jokes.

The photo was originally posted by the rapper Rayface, however, who goes by @rayfacesmm on Instagram. Subsequent posts on his Instagram Story appear to suggest that the photo was taken during a music video shoot, seemingly debunking theories that they’re a couple. Regardless, fans are looking forward to seeing what they’ve come up with. While there may not be any major developments in Bambi’s love life these days, the same can’t be said for her ex, Lil Scrappy.

Earlier this month, it was revealed that he’s expecting a baby boy with a hairstylist, Shakira Hardy. According to Bossip, Hardy was a contestant on Pick A Side and eventually connected with Scrappy off-camera. “Shoutout to my baby daddy for making sure he was there and hands-on Thank youuuuuu,” she wrote on social media after sharing clips and photos from their baby shower.

DDG Addresses Viral Quavo Beef Rumors After Kai Cenat Stream

November 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week, DDG and Quavo joined Kai Cenat for his Mafiathon 2 subathon streaming event, and their interactions quickly went viral. At one point in the stream, for example, they had an awkward conversation about sitting too close to each other. At another point, Quavo asked DDG “what’s up?” and questioned if he wanted to box. This led to big reactions from social media users, who theorized that the two artists could have some underlying beef.

Yesterday, DDG hopped online to set the record straight. According to him, they’re “big cool,” and Quavo was just playing around. “He was obviously joking… People got different types of humor, but he was obviously playing,” he said.

DDG Confirms He Has No Beef With Quavo

DDG continued, explaining that he wanted to clear things up so nothing looked “weird” on the internet. Unfortunately, however, this wasn’t the only reason he went viral this week. Shortly after his appearance on Cenat’s stream, his ex Halle Bailey took to X to call him out. She claimed DDG did not get her approval to bring their infant son Halo on the stream, and revealed that she was uncomfortable with it.

This left social media users split. While some agreed that DDG should have checked with her first, others thought she was overreacting. Amid the debate, DDG came to her defense, making it clear that he didn’t appreciate the hate Bailey was receiving. “When situations like this happen, I try to handle it with as much grace as possible. Leave Halle alone,” he described. “She could be going through something mentally… After having a kid, that I can’t understand as a man. We need each other to create a childhood that’s safe and fun and memorable.” What do you think of DDG confirming that he has no beef with Quavo following their viral interactions on Kai Cenat’s stream?

Kodak Black Thinks His Charity Event Was Canceled Over Donald Trump’s Win

November 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kodak Black has been a vocal supporter of Donald Trump for some time now. This doesn’t necessarily come as a surprise, considering Trump commuted his prison sentence on his final day in office back in 2021. According to the rapper, however, this could be resulting in some negative consequences for him.

TMZ reports that Kodak’s West Palm Beach charity event was recently canceled abruptly, and he suspects it allegedly has something to do with Trump winning the election. Allegedly, he made a deal to host the event at CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches over a month ago. Earlier this week, law enforcement and event organizers shut down the plan, citing security as a major concern. Bradford Cohen, Kodak Black’s lawyer, tells the outlet he thinks this is allegedly all political.

“It seems very convenient that they canceled the event the day after the election,” he explained. Cohen also alleged that event organizers are now in breach of contract. Reportedly, Kodak has already dished out roughly $200K for the event, coordinating security, medical services, and more. “All public events must be permitted by the City of West Palm Beach. As of this time, the City has not issued a permit for Kodak Black Day, and therefore the event is not currently authorized to be held,” general manager of CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches Mike Sophia told TMZ.

This wouldn’t be the first time a celebrity allegedly had their event shut down due to political reasons, however. Recently, Waka Flocka Flame also had a meet and greet in D.C. canceled following the election. What do you think of Kodak Black suspecting that Donald Trump winning the election allegedly led to his West Palm Beach charity event getting canceled? Do you think this is the case or not?

Rihanna Sends Fans Into Panic Mode After Hinting At Retirement Again

November 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rihanna keeps fans on the edge of their seats with every move, as they patiently (or desperately) wait for a new album update. However, various hints over the years made fans fear that retirement was right around the corner in this regard, a worry that a recent speech at a Fenty event in Barbados on Thursday night (November 7) fueled once again. “I’m in an industry, right? For music,” she expressed in her native country. “And I want to say that music was the thing that got me attention, but God had other plans for me. And I was able to create in ways that were very sincere and genuine, organic, and authentic to the things that I love. So it doesn’t even feel like a job.

“But when you bring it home…” Rihanna continued amid crowd cheers. You can check out the full video for yourself by clicking on the “Via” link down below. Of course, all jokes and worries aside, RiRi should absolutely fulfill herself through her career and creativity in any way she sees fit. If music isn’t the answer, so be it. We have so much great material already. Fans just hope that they get a definitive answer on whether or not they can expect a new studio album in the future.

Another Rihanna feather-ruffler recently came from her thoughts on the 2024 United States presidential election, as she joked about having her young son vote for her instead. She clapped back at a lot of haters who opposed her staunch support of women’s reproductive rights and her crucial emphasis on the importance of a fair and peaceful democratic process. We all sadly know how that turned out…

Meanwhile, Rihanna did recently name a dream collaboration that kept fans hopeful for more music on the way. “If I could only do a song with Billie Eilish,” she told Access Hollywood. “She’s so good.” Billie was absolutely shocked by her praise, and her excitement and gratitude for the shoutout means that not all hope is lost. But let’s respect and cherish this career whatever direction it goes in, and understand that this is all just speculative.

Cardi B Denies Getting Paid For Kamala Harris Rally Speech After Teleprompter Mishap

November 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yesterday, Cardi B spoke at Kamala Harris’ rally in Milwaukee, and her speech quickly went viral. She ignited the crowd as she expressed why she’s supporting the Democratic presidential nominee, touching on key issues like women’s healthcare. The femcee also tore into Donald Trump, dubbing him a “hustler” trying to sell the American people “bigotry, misogyny, division, chaos and confusion.”

Her speech went on for roughly ten minutes, but unfortunately, not everyone was feeling it. While many social media users have been praising Cardi, others are digging up some of the less flattering moments of her past. Some are also dragging her for reading her speech off of a phone due to technical difficulties involving the teleprompter.

Cardi B Reminds Critics She’s Been Discussing Politics For Years

One social media user even accused her of accepting “a huge, undisclosed amount” to speak at the rally, which she denies. She hopped on X last night to shut them down, and to remind them that she’s been using her platform to discuss politics for years. “I did not get paid a dollar for this,” her response began. “I actually been talking about these topics for the past couple years FOR FREE on ALL my platforms!! Before I was a celebrity I was a product of poverty for 24 years so you not gonna tell me what I want to see in MY community.”

During her speech, Cardi revealed that she wasn’t even planning on voting until Harris replaced Joe Biden on the Democratic ticket. “[Harris] changed my mind completely,” she explained. “I did not have faith for any candidate until she joined the race and said the things that I wanted to hear — things I want to see next in this country. I believe in every word that comes out of her mouth; she’s passionate, she’s compassionate, she shows empathy, and most of all, she is not delusional.” What do you think of Cardi B shutting down one X user who accused her of accepting a large amount of money to speak at Kamala Harris’ rally in Milwaukee yesterday?

Kanye West Teases Transforming $35M Beverly Hills Property Into A City

October 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yesterday, it was reported that Kanye West dropped a whopping $35 million on a luxurious mansion in Beverly Hills. According to a recent post, however, it might not stay that way for long. As news of the major purchase spread online, Ye took to his Instagram Story to show it off. In one image, he scribbled over the home and added the word DROAM, a self-sustaining city he announced plans for last December.

At the time, Ye said the city would span an impressive 100,000 acres, while his Beverly Hills property only covers around seven. Regardless, DROAM would certainly be a sight to see if he actually managed to pull it off. Size wouldn’t be the only difference from Ye’s initial DROAM layout, however. At first, it was going to be built somewhere in the Middle East.

Ye Hints At DROAM On His Instagram Story

Of course, like many things involving Ye, nothing is set in stone. It’s possible that he was just brainstorming, and still intends on carrying out his initial plans for DROAM. With that being said, he just took a major financial hit, so it may have to wait a bit longer. Last month, he sold his Malibu mansion for $21 million. Just three years ago, he purchased it for $57.3 million, meaning he lost a staggering $36 million. He gutted that property too with alleged intentions of turning it into a bomb shelter, but ultimately, that never came to fruition.

Belwood Investments CEO Bo Belmont, who purchased the Malibu property from Ye, even slammed the changes the Chicago artist made to the home. “That was a really d*mb move. Really no purpose… He single-handedly destroyed [it]… My goal is to make it as though Kanye was never there,” Belmont told The Los Angeles Times in September. What do you think of Kanye West hinting at gutting his extravagant Beverly Hills mansion to turn it into DROAM? Do you think he should or not?

Burna Boy Appears To Call For Lil Durk’s Release With Series Of Controversial Statements

October 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

At the end of work week last week, Lil Durk and five alleged OTF (Only The Family) members were arrested. Overall, the charges include for murder-for-hire involving a death, use of a machine gun in a violent crime, and conspiracy to conduct murder-for-hire. It’s all in connection to the attempted murder of Georgia rapper Quando Rondo. It occurred in 2022 but instead of taking his life, it wound up tragically taking Rondo’s cousin, Saviay’a Robinson. On top of this, we have come to learn that someone within OTF had allegedly been wearing a wire for a couple of years and feeding authorities information about Lil Durk.

OTF Jam is the alleged man in question right now, but there’s still so much more to uncover and unpack. Since this bombshell, especially Jam’s wire, fans of Durk’s have been pushing heavily for his release. As of late Monday night, Nigerian rapper and singer Burna Boy seems to be joining the protestors thanks to a collection of statements from IG Stories. “The streets ain’t what it used to be,” he began. “The old rules no longer apply. The way I see it, everybody is a civilian now… No more sliding, just sue your opps to court and take they money. ” According to Within Nigeria, this seems to be in relation to a conflict with contemporary, Speed Darlington. Burna reportedly filed a petition against him for cyberstalking.

Burna Boy’s Statements About Lil Durk Lead To A Heated Debate

However, in a separate IG Story following the one above, Burna Boy would champion the release of Lil Durk. “Free SMURK.” All of these comments stirred up some debate amongst the internet, with it being caused by some discrediting the validity of Burna’s words. In general, those nonbelievers don’t think he’s “street” enough to be talking about gangs. “This tweet was posed to come from Boosie not no damn Burnaboy ” This led to a barrage of responses from others putting these types of people on blast for being naive about how dangerous other countries like Nigeria are. Bolstering their arguments further is the fact that Burna was arrested by Lagos officials for attempted murder back in 2010, according to Naija Gists.

What are your thoughts on Burna Boy appearing to champion the release of Lil Durk? Where do you stand on the whole arrest and the allegations? Do you think some of these internet users are being naive by discrediting what the Nigerian artist has to say? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments.
