Ryan Garcia Accuses Bryce Hall Of Inappropriate Conduct With Minors, Says He’s Done Speaking On Non-Fight Topics

March 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In a now-deleted tweet, Ryan Garcia accused social media star Bryce Hall of inappropriate conduct with minors. “Apologize for messing with underage kids,” Garcia wrote while calling out Hall by name. “You need to repent and stop hiding behind TikTok for clout,” Garcia added. Hall has been previously sued for his conduct at an LA restaurant. However, there have been no previous allegations linking him to conduct with minors.

However, Garcia also appeared to have a moment of clarity after days of posting conspiracy theory-fuelled tweets. “I Ryan Garcia, will not be speaking or tweeting or writing anything other then My Fight “Boxing” and Sports. All topics of discussion will be discussed after my fight 5 weeks of focus. You have my word I’m locked in I’ll see you 4-20,” Garcia also wrote. However, fans theorize that Garcia’s management may have stepped in and written the most recent tweet.

I Ryan Garcia, will not be speaking or tweeting or writing anything other then My Fight “Boxing” and Sports.

All topics of discussion will be discussed after my fight 5 weeks of focus.

You have my word I’m locked in I’ll see you 4-20

— RYAN GARCIA (@RyanGarcia) March 6, 2024

Furthermore, this latest string of posts comes after Garcia “revealed” what happened to him over the weekend. Following an apparent hack over the weekend, Garcia, or at least Garcia’s account, has continued to post concerning content. The boxer claimed that he was “taken to the woods” where he was “forced to watch kids getting raped”. He also tweeted that he was shown an alien and that he has proof that he could potentially release.

However, things only got weirder when Garcia joined a Twitter Space hosted by Andrew Tate. Garcia reasserted his claim that he had been forced to watch pornography featuring children after being “tied down in the woods”. Furthermore, Garcia also said, “Bohemian Grove is real”. Bohemian Grove is a private campground belonging to a Gentleman’s Club in California. Conspiracy theorists believe that the ultra-exclusive two-week annual gatherings held at Bohemian Grove are actually secret meetings of the Illuminati or members of the “New World Order”.

Rick Ross Addresses Tyreek Hill’s Fractured Friendship Claims: “I Wasn’t Picking On You”

March 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Back in January, Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill suffered a major loss when his Florida home caught fire unexpectedly. Reportedly, the blaze caused roughly $2.3 million in damages. Fortunately, nobody in the home was injured. The NFL star will surely be able to rebuild his luxury home, but according to him, the incident resulted in some other damages that may be irreparable.

During a recent appearance on The Pivot Podcast, Hill revealed that he’s no longer on good terms with Rick Ross. He explained that while the two of them were once close, Rozay decided to broadcast his burning home to his millions of social media followers. The athlete notes that he didn’t even receive a call from the artist, leaving their friendship wounded.

“You ain’t even come over,” he said, “You had the audacity to talk to a fireman, you got my number. You get on Twitter, post me all over Twitter after what me and my family went through, you supposed to be the neighborhood hero.” Now, Rick Ross has responded to Hill’s explanation, claiming he never meant any harm. Moreover, he says that he assumed Hill had great insurance, which would allow the football player to recover without too much hassle.

“Tyreek Hill, I wasn’t picking on you homie,” he begins. “I didn’t film none of [your family members] homie. And let’s not act like I’m the one that premiered the fire to the world. It was five helicopters circling over your crib and my crib, we stay right across the street from each other. I didn’t post you and your girl outside, I didn’t post mom, none of that.” Rick Ross adds that when speaking with the fireman, he simply asked if Hill’s mother could sit down amid the chaos that was unfolding. The hitmaker also requests that Hill join him on his podcast, arguing that “it only makes sense.” What do you think of Tyreek Hill claiming that he’s no longer cool with Rick Ross? Do you think he has a valid explanation? What about Rozay’s response? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Travis Kelce Speaks On Sydney Zoo Trip With Taylor Swift, Claims They Were “Chased” By Helicopters

March 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Travis Kelce has opened up about the good and bad aspects of his recent trip to Sydney Zoo with Taylor Swift. Kelce claimed they were hounded by airborne paparazzi hanging out of helicopters to grab photos of the couple. “There were full-on helicopters just flying around. They helicoptered us. Well, not us — Taylor. This is all because Taylor is the biggest and the best thing possible,” Kelce told his brother on their podcast.

However, it wasn’t all bad. “Saw a tiger sitting up in a tree house — that sh-t was f-cking sweet. Saw a lion close up. When you hear [them roar], cause Taylor took the picture … you’re just like, ‘Oh my gosh.’ Let alone one, you see three of them run down from their rock, their perch, knowing they’re about to get fed. You see how fast and agile that thing is — dude it’s over,” Kelce continued.

Travis Kelce & Taylor Swift Face Backlash For Sydney Zoo Date

However, not everyone thought that Kelce and Swift’s trip was “f-cking sweet”. The couple is continuing to face a wave of backlash from PETA and other animal rights activists for their trip. However, the couple has been given a “pass” by noted PETA supporter Jennifer Coolidge. While Coolidge said she “understood” why PETA was mad, she didn’t think that Kelce and Swift’s date was malicious. Instead, she saw it as just a public couple going on what they considered a romantic date.

The couple were spotted enjoying the popular tourist attraction last week between shows on Swift’s ongoing Eras Tour. Earlier in the week, Swifties had been gushing over Swift’s reactions to the various exhibits during a solo trip to the zoo. Kelce, who was spotted in Las Vegas earlier in the week, reportedly flew from LA to Hawaii. He then stayed the night in the island state earlier in the week. He then reportedly transferred to a private jet that departed for Sydney the day before he was spotted at the zoo.

Stephen A. Smith Or Barack Obama? ESPN Host Reveals If He Thinks He Could Beat The Former President In A One-On-One Basketball Game

March 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Stephen A. Smith believes that he could beat President Barack Obama in a one-on-one basketball game, as long as he had prep time. “It depends. If we’re talking about Stephen A. right now, Barack Obama is going to smoke me because I got bad knees. But give me a week, and make sure my knees are healthy, and I would take him out. I’d beat him. I’d beat Barack Obama, say 21-7. It would be a romp. I love the President, I voted for him twice. I love the First Family and he can shoot but he doesn’t look like he’s accustomed to resistance. I’m gonna get his face, get on that left hand, not let him shoot. He’s gonna have to go low, take the ball to the hole,” Smith explained.

Of course, both Smith and Obama are avid basketball fans, although Smith backs the Knicks while Obama roots for his hometown Bulls. Furthermore, Obama was regularly seen shooting hoops at various events, as well as at the regulation-size court on the grounds of the White House. Meanwhile, Smith admitted in his answer that he only plays basketball “once every two or three years”. Who are you taking in a first-to-21 competition? Let us know in the comments.

Stephen A. Smith Goes Off On Hilarious Rant About Hot Dogs

— Stephen A Smith (@stephenasmith) March 6, 2024

Of course, the Q&A section on The Stephen A. Smith Show has quickly become a fan favorite, largely due to the sheer amount of weird questions Smith is willing to answer. Last week, the ESPN host was asked what he was putting on a standard hot dog if he wasn’t allowed to put mayonnaise on it. “That’s easy – ketchup and mustard. What’s wrong with that? Ketchup and mustard. Very very simple to me. It’s ketchup and mustard. Why wouldn’t I put ketchup and mustard on this? I’m tryna figure out why the hell mayo would be on this. Now that’s just nasty. I think the only thing nastier than this is the person I saw literally eating a spoon of mayonnaise. Now that’s disgusting,” Smith said.

Ketchup and mustard are of course the safe choice for hot dog toppings outside of regional variants. However, a 2021 survey from the National Hot Dog and Sausage Council found that 19% of Americans put mayo on their hot dogs. What’s your go-to hot dog configuration? Let us know in the comments.

Shaq Has One Major Issue With Zion Williamson’s Recent Dunk Contest Comments

March 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Shaq has expressed his disappointment in Zion Williamson’s recent comments about participating in the dunk contest if he is named an All-Star. For the Hall of Famer, Williamson didn’t express enough desire to be named an All-Star. “You have to see it, Zion. When I make the All-Star team, yes. All that if talk, it’s just telling me that you’re not fully confident in yourself. Which is ok, he’s still a young player. But at some point, you have to say — like I said in Vegas — ‘this is my league’,” Shaq said.

Williamson is a two-time All-Star, appearing at the midseason event in 2021 and 2023. Williamson is averaging 22/5.5/5.2 this season but was not named an All-Star in a crowded field across both conferences. The Pelicans are 37-25 and fifth in the Western Conference.

Shaq Shows Zion Williamson No Mercy

— Oh No He Didn’t (@ohnohedidnt24) March 6, 2024

However, as Shaq himself alluded to, it’s not the first time that he has laid into the 2019 first-overall pick. Shaq and Charles Barkley had no time for Williamson’s poor showing against the Lakers in the semifinals of the In-Season Tournament last December. “Does not run hard — it’s not a diss, this is gonna be a lesson from one great big man to another guy that can be a great. Does not run hard. I had the same problem my first, second year — I thought I was running hard. Charles talks about this all the time, my talent’s gonna get me 20. When I start going to 20, 30, and 40, it’s because I started doing certain things,” Shaq said.

However, the Hall of Fame big man wasn’t finished “He doesn’t create easy points for himself. I saw a couple times when he had a couple times at the basket, he don’t seal, right? He doesn’t demand the ball … and he doesn’t have that look. Like, I’m not the greatest athlete ever, but I know a look when I see it. In every sport, I know a look. Tiger Woods had that look, Jack Nicklas had that look. He just doesn’t have that look. And he doesn’t rebound. He does not rebound,” he continued.

Mase Blasts “Cupcake” NBA, Says He Would Be A 16-PPG Player

March 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ma$e took aim at the NBA on It Is What It Is this week while discussing LeBron James surpassing 40,000 career points. “I think the 40,000 points is a remarkable feat. I just think it’s a cupcake league for real. I think in this league, today, if I was in top shape, I probably could average about 15-16. I’m just keeping it real. When I didn’t make it in my generation, I felt like it was a few n-ggas that was probably better than me. This generation, I feel like I could play with these n-ggas,” the rapper boasted. Neither Ma$e nor Cam’ron survived even college ball, let alone being a consideration for the NBA.

Averaging 15-16 points a game in the modern NBA is no easy feat, despite what Ma$e thinks. That range puts a player in the top 80 scorers in the league this season, somewhere between Immanuel Quickley (16.1) and Bennedict Mathurin (14.5). Jaden Ivey is 77th in scoring this season with an average of 15.1.

Mase & Cam’ron Find Dwyane Wade’s Painted Nails Hilarious

Of course, one of Ma$e’s favorite things to do on It Is What It Is is to poke fun at the NBA. Back in January, Ma$e and Cam’ron continued their crusade to uphold the gender binary . The pair laughed at Dwyane Wade’s painted nails so hard that they cried. Wade had painted his nails in the Heat’s signature colors as he attended a Hall of Fame ceremony and statue unveiling in Miami. However, this mundane act was enough to reduce the pair of 40-somethings to fits of tearful laughter. Ignoring Treasure Wilson’s reasoning that plenty of male celebrities now paint their nails, the rap duo went as far as to nonsensically compare Wade’s actions to “Michael Jordan modeling lingerie”.

However, there is just a little bit of hypocrisy going on from the pair. After all, Cam’ron himself has previously gotten very upset when people have implied he is “gay” because he famously wears pink. “You know how long I had to hear, ‘Cam’s gay, he wears pink’? Bring your mother around, n-gga. See if she gives a f-ck, n-gga. See if your mom gives a whole f-ck, n-gga. I’ll tell her how gay I am. I’ll f-ck her in the pink mink,” Cam’ron said on a July 2023 episode of It Is What It Is.

Antonio Brown Continues Trolling Shannon Sharpe With Bizarre Pop Culture Reference

March 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Antonio Brown has continued to go after Shannon Sharpe. In his latest post against the Hall of Famer turned pundit, Brown tried to compare Sharpe to “Rex”, the T-Rex character from Toy Story. “Just can’t unseen it” Brown wrote alongside an image of Sharpe wearing a similar satchel bag to Rex.

While some Twitter users found the post hilarious, others were less enthused. Some saw the post as either not funny or simply just reaching. Meanwhile, a more vocal group hit back at Brown for going after the largely beloved Sharpe. Many commenters told Brown not to go after “Unc” like that, referencing Sharpe’s prominent fandom nickname. How do you feel about Brown’s posts? Let us know in the comments.

Antonio Brown Claims Shannon Sharpe & JJ Watt Use Steroids

Just can’t unsee it #CTESPN pic.twitter.com/lnfof8mJHS

— AB (@AB84) March 6, 2024

However, this is far from the first time that Brown has gone after Sharpe. In early February, Brown took to social media to name a trio of former NFL players whom Brown alleged used steroids during their career. The players named in Brown’s post were Shannon Sharpe, JJ Watt, and Julian Edelman. Of the three named, only one (Edelman) has any documented history with PEDs. Sharpe likely appears on the list due to Brown’s ongoing beef with the Hall of Famer turned ESPN pundit. Meanwhile, Watt regularly took the opportunity to troll the NFL for their incessant drug testing of him throughout his career. However, neither man has been conclusively linked to steroid use.

The inclusion of Edelman, however, is not some new bombshell that Brown is unveiling. Edelman was suspended for the first four games of the 2019 season after a positive test for PEDs. The exact substance he was suspended over was not made public and Edelman did not protest the suspension. Sharpe and Watt have not responded to Brown’s allegations. Furthermore, Brown did not provide any evidence to back up his claims, meaning they are unsubstantiated at this time.

Meanwhile, Garcia’s worrying behavior comes about two months before his highly-anticipated fight with Devin Haney. “To me, it is personal in a way. I don’t know, something’s just in me. I don’t even feel like answering these questions bro, I’m sorry,” Garcia told TMZ last week. However, Garcia did answer a few more questions from the outlet, further sounding off about his April opponent. “I don’t give a f-ck about his boxing skills. I’mma beat his a–, that’s it! I’m not a boxing analyst. Forget that dude! He’s gonna get it, 4/20, that’s it!” Garcia added.

Even though there are nearly two months before their fight, tensions are high between the two men. Garcia and Haney had been separated at Super Bowl LVIII in February after getting into a brief altercation. Additionally, the pair traded words when they jointly appeared on First Take this week. Who are you backing in the bout? Let us know in the comments.
