Chance The Rapper’s Wife Officially Files For Divorce

December 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Chance the Rapper fans… we have some saddening news today. According to TMZ, the Chicago MC and his wife, Kirsten Corley, are officially calling it quits. His partner in crime of five years sent in divorce documents last Friday, however, the details are scarce at best. With that in mind, there’s nothing available in terms of particulars on what the financial splits will be in addition to all the other nitty gritty details. If you remember, Chance the Rapper and Kirsten have two young daughters in Kensli (9) and Marli (5). Moreover, they shared that they would raise their kids together back when they publicly split in April 2024.

While this isn’t completely shocking news, it’s still upsetting to see these two close the chapter of their lives. After all, they had dated from 2013 to 2019 and then got married later that year in California. Neither of them have released any public statements yet, although Kirsten did back when they started to pull away from one another. “After a period of separation, the two of us have arrived at a decision to part ways,” she began.

“We came to this decision amicably and with gratitude for the time we spent together. God has blessed us with two beautiful daughters who we will continue to raise together. We kindly ask for privacy and respect as we navigate this transition. Thank you,” she concluded.

Overall, Chance and Kirsten were beloved by many. However, there were some instances where their relationship was put into question over the last couple of years. For example, there were reports and videos floating around of Chance being a little too loose and comfortable around other women. You can read more about those here. Nonetheless, we are wishing the best for these two moving forward, as they prepare to navigate a scary and new chapter in their story.

Ice Spice’s Weight Loss Has Fans Divided

July 17, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Overall, Ice Spice is quite the polarizing figure in hip-hop. This attitude among staunch fanatics of the genre began when she dropped “Munch (Feelin’ U)” in the summer of 2022. A lot of listeners were quick to dismiss her for her lack lyrical content and overall talent. Generally speaking, the consensus was that her physical attributes were carrying her, and a lot still feel that way. However, the New York native has proven the haters time and time again with hits galore past the aforementioned single. She is also seemingly at every music festival these days and pretty soon she will be releasing Y2K!, her debut studio album.

But if there is one thing that comes with the fame and popularity is that criticism will continue to follow just like it does when you are starting out. In the case of Ice Spice, it yet again has to deal with her appearance. Since coming into the game, the “Phat Butt” rapper has steadily lost weight and a lot of fans have been showing support. “Ice Spice look good thick and skinny, only a certain demographic gets mad when someone loses weight lol not everyone cares abt a fat a**”, one user wrote on X. “Idc what anyone says, Ice Spice’s weight loss looks good on her”, another added.

If Ice Spice Is Happy With Her Weight That’s All That Matters

However, there is still a large portion of outsiders that are turned off and nit picking it, sadly. “She looked better before…”, someone bluntly states in the comments section of a HOLLYWOOD UNLOCKED post about Spice’s weight. “Stop lying we like the before”, another boldy claims. “We want thick spiceeeee ”, someone else champions. Thankfully, there are some voices of reason on this post. “She is a performer she probably needed to be more fit to be a better performer and breathing control”. “I don’t recall her asking for y’all big backed opinions about her body”.

What are your thoughts on a fair number if people being so up in arms about Ice Spice’s weight loss? Why do you think we tend to give our unwarranted opinion on other people’s bodies? Are you still excited for her upcoming debut album, Y2K!? 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 Ice Spice. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the pop culture world.

Yung Miami Opens Up On Relationship With JT, Explains Why They’re Focusing On Solo Music

June 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Yung Miami has finally spoken at length about focusing on solo music following a rumored split from her City Girls partner, JT. Speaking with Complex on Monday, Miami explained that the two rappers were in “different spaces” following the release of their latest album, RAW, but are still on good terms. That album only reached as high as 117 on the US Billboard 200 in October 2023.

“I had to really get back in my bag. People had just been talking to me crazy… So just going through s**t really motivated me to get in the studio and make music,” Miami said. From there, she admitted that RAW “didn’t do too well,” and it inspired her to want to get to work on solo music.

“I think when the City Girls album [RAW] just dropped, and it didn’t do too well, and we was just trying to do our press run. The whole rollout of the album was just so bad because we was just in two different spaces,” she explained. “We older now, and she [JT] was doing her own thing. She on the West Coast, I’m in Miami. I’m doing my own thing. And I felt like naturally, when she doing her own thing, it just worked for her. And when I’m doing my own thing, it worked for me. But when we get together as a group, it just wasn’t connecting. It just wasn’t working no more.”

Yung Miami and JT got into a heated argument on social media, earlier this year, prompting fans to theorize the City Girls were done. Regardless, they quickly made amends and expressed their love for one another. Addressing the incident with Complex, Miami described it as the result of “sisterhood” and described JT as “family.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Yung Miami on HotNewHipHop.

Mero Explains Desus Split To Joe Budden & Carmelo Anthony

February 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Mero recently stopped by 7PM In Brooklyn with Carmelo Anthony and Joe Budden for a very engaging conversation. At one point, the Dominican-American media multi-hyphenate spoke of the end of his working partnership with Desus and what the core differences were. “I’ma keep it a buck,” Mero began his remarks. “At first, I was upset. It’s the business. There’s no friends in the business. I got four kids, two mortgages, you know what I’m saying? You know where I live, Joe, the taxes are cr*zy. I got real life situations going on. So I’m like, ‘Yo, if we get an offer from Draft Kings for 1.5 before they got logos on the NBA court.’ And you’re like, ‘Nah, bro, this ain’t it.’

“And I’m like, ‘Nah, fam, I’m gambling illegally right now,’” The Kid Mero continued. “‘This s**t is legal in Jersey. I just moved here, trying not to fail on it. This is going places, bro. We need to do this’ And they’re like, ‘Nah’? I’m like, ‘F**k outta here!’ That’s the beginning of like, ‘Alright, this s**t is corroded.’

“So the situation was, we were in two different places in life, right?” Mero went on. “I was very much so aiming for ownership. Being a production company, owning your IP, because that’s life or death in media. If you own your s**t, you’re good. If you know that, you go into it with a certain approach, you know what I mean? I need longevity, I need ownership. We’ve developed this s**t out the mud, so this is us, we’re owners. We’re not selling this to nobody, the key word here is licensing. I’ll license this s**t to you for a term, you know, two years, or one and one. But selling your IP, bro, selling your name? It seems like they’re preparing Desus for Hollywood. Like, that next level. I heard that, and I was just like, ‘Bro, you know what’s cr*zy? No!’

“The next level of Hollywood was the three of us -– Desus, Victor, myself -– sitting down with Judd Apatow, and saying, ‘Yo, we’re going to do a movie,’” he concluded. “The movie gets written, and Desus is like, ‘I ain’t really feeling this s**t.’ When I know, in the business mind, when you do a movie with this guy, you’re not just doing a movie with this guy. This dude is like a kingmaker in the film industry. If you get in there and you make a banger with him, you’re solidified. That’s what makes you get up to the next level. A conversation happened a couple of times, and it was just very like, ‘Alright, no doubt.’ From business.” For more news on Desus, Mero, Joe Budden, and Carmelo Anthony, check back in with HNHH.

YG & Saweetie Call It Quits After 7 Months Of Dating: Report

January 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

YG and Saweetie were one of hip-hop’s most low-key but beloved couples in recent memory, but it seems like they went their separate ways. Moreover, according to new reports from TMZ, representatives from both rappers spoke to The Shade Room about how they mutually decided to end their seven-month-ish relationship, as they think they would be better off as friends. Also, these reports suggest that neither is very interested in seeking another partner right now, and that they want to focus on their careers first and foremost. It’s a sad thing to hear about, but at least this all seems amicable and respectful, which is more than we can ask for in these wild times.

Furthermore, the West Coast MCs confirmed their romance around in May of 2023 following a month or so of rumors. Not only that, but this wasn’t really a surprise: YG and Saweetie have collaborated often– most recently on the former’s “BIRTHDAY” single– and they toured together with Tyga. As such, it was great to see these two work well together within and outside of their careers and personal lives. After all, they were pretty low-key about everything, which again, is more than we can ask for from most couples with a strong bond before their romantic union.

Meanwhile, the last we heard from them in the pop culture and gossip mill was their October performance at the University of Southern California. Since then, things cooled down significantly at least on our end, leading folks to speculate on just how long ago they split. It’s possible that their teams are just now allegedly relaying this to The Shade Room after days, weeks, or months of a relationship status update between YG and Saweetie. Perhaps we’ll just have to wait and see whether either Cali native speaks out about what they had, and what they might continue to manifest beyond a cuff.

When it comes to their careers, both artists actually have some songs to promote or tease these days. For the Icy Girl, that would be her previewed track “Richtivities,” whereas the Still Brazy spitter just dropped “Stand Up” with Stunna Girl. We wish them the best moving forward, whether it’s apart or with each other. For more news and the latest updates on YG and Saweetie, log back into HNHH.

December 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner have called it quits according to a new report from PEOPLE. The two have not been seen together publically since attending an afterparty for Saturday Night Live in October. Bad Bunny had been serving as the host and musical guest for the episode. Neither Bunny nor Jenner have commented on the report.

The two first sparked relationship rumors after going on a double date with Hailey Bieber and Justin Bieber back in February. At the time, another source for PEOPLE reported: “She likes him and is having fun. He is different from guys that she dated in the past. He is very charming.” In the months afterward, they mostly kept things private, avoiding talking about their romance and making occasional public appearances together.

In September, they both attended Gucci’s Spring/Summer 2024 Fashion Show in Milan, where they sat in the front row next to one another. During an interview with Vanity Fair in October, Bunny admitted he was working on speaking English for one woman in his life. “With some people, I speak English — with some specific people,” Bad Bunny said at the time. “With one of them, I couldn’t talk to her before.”

The source for PEOPLE didn’t provide an explanation for their breakup. The news comes after TMZ caught that Jenner was on a ski trip to Aspen, last week, without her now-ex partner in tow. With their breakup, Bunny joins the slew of celebrities Jenner has dated over the years including Harry Styles, Nick Jonas, A$AP Rocky, Jordan Clarkson, Blake Griffin, Ben Simmons, and Devin Booker.

If you’re a fan of power couples within the pop culture world, you probably went through a rough time this week. Moreover, fans went ballistic when rumors that Iman Shumpert cheated on his partner of ten years, Teyana Taylor. Not only that, but on Sunday (September 17), the musician and actress took to Instagram to confirm that the two went through a break-up. However, her message also details some interesting aspects of this development that contradict what many fans perceived online. Apparently, they actually separated some time ago, and this wasn’t due to any spats of infidelity.

“AHT AHT! Not too much on my bestie!” Teyana Taylor began her message to fans on social media. “In all fairness, Iman and I are separated and have been for a while. To be 1000% clear, ‘infidelity’ ain’t one of the reasons for our departure. We are still the best of friends, great business partners and are one hell of a team when it comes to co-parenting our 2 beautiful children. Most importantly we are FAMILY & in the 10yrs together, 7yrs married we ain’t ever played with or about THAT.

“We just keep y’all a**es out the group chat lol,” Teyana Taylor continued. “Which is the reason we’ve been able to successfully & peacefully separate without all of the outside noise. The only reason I’m even sharing THIS part of the chat is because the narratives are getting a little out of hand & it’s unfair to all parties involved. I hope this provided some clarity for y’all. Okay AunTey taking y’all back out the chat bye!”

As such, with one fell swoop, the Harlem native clarified any and all doubts and gossip surrounding her relationship. Sure, it probably won’t quell all of the rumors and speculation around all this, but it’s the most important part of this conversation. After all, it sounds like a mutual decision, and it’s great and heartening to see that they’re still on tightly amicable terms.

Dwyane Wade Addresses 50/50 Finances Comments By Gabrielle Union

June 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Every power couple is different, but even the most successful and wealthy ones can be subject to the same gender norms as any other. Moreover, pop culture saw a recent example of that in Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union. The latter revealed that she and Wade typically split finances 50/50, while also revealing some insecurity when it came to money. Now, the former basketball superstar revealed his own perspective on this to Shannon Sharpe on his Club Shay Shay podcast. During his remarks, he expressed confidence in her independence, dismissal of negative perspectives about manhood, and a desire to keep things equal and within each of their defined comfort zones.

“I haven’t given no color to this, but it’s thinkpieces going around about me as a man,” Dwyane Wade expressed before Sharpe teased him about it a little. “Let’s talk about it. So, the whole 50/50 concept, so I understand what 50/50 means. [It] means that everything in life, you got your half and I got my half. We’ll put this s**t together and try to make 100. That is not how our relationship works, all right? Everybody think 50/50, they think ‘Hey, if he gettin’ a sandwich, you gotta put 50% on that!’

Dwyane Wade Reflects On Splitting Finances With Gabrielle Union

“50/50 in our household is- first of all, let’s say that I have 20 to 50 responsibilities,” Dwyane Wade continued. “My wife has 20 to 50 responsibilities. When I say that, that means she has a mother, she has her sisters, she has her dad, she has a lot of things that she’s responsible for. You know what she does? She pays one hundred percent of that. You know what I do? I pay one hundred percent of my life. My wife is a working actress, spends time away from the family, we decided together. I think one time, we was in Miami, I said something about it being my house that I pay for. She said, ‘You will never say something like that to me again when it’s something that we share.’ So my wife was like ‘When we move to L.A., I got half on it.’

Further on in the interview, the 41-year-old spoke on splitting finances with everything related to taking care of their daughter. In addition, he also elaborated on Union also taking time to make lavish trips or special occasions all the more meaningful with her contributions. Overall, Sharpe was right in stating that such a formula works for them, and that’s the only thing that matters even if it was 85/15. Still, check back in with HNHH for the latest on Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union.
