Toosii Puts Shaq On Blast For Wild DM To His Baby Mama

May 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In recent days, photos of Shaq vacationing alongside his 21-year-old alleged”girlfriend” in Spain have been making their rounds online. While these photos have since been confirmed to be five years old, they’ve captured the attention of countless social media users. Toosii, for example, decided to chime in earlier today.

Instead of commenting on the rumored age gap relationship directly, the performer decided to share his own experience with the NBA icon. Apparently, Shaq once slid into the DMs of his girlfriend Samaria J Davis, with whom he shares a child. According to Toosii, he didn’t play it cool either, making his intentions perfectly clear.

“One time this n***a dm Samaria and said ‘let me have that baby’ talking about my son,” Toosii replied to a report about Shaq’s rumored baecation. “Weird a** old head.” He went on to share a screenshot of the DM, and sure enough, it reads exactly as he put it. “Man idk if this how old n****s flirt or what,” he also added. Based on the screenshot, Shaq sent the message in November of 2022, only months after Samaria gave birth to her and Toosii’s son Ezrah. Shaq has yet to address the racy DM.

This isn’t the first time Shaq has gotten called out for seemingly shooting his shot, however. A few months back, he posted a photo of himself standing alongside Taylor Swift, Ice Spice, and more at the Super Bowl. “Ice Spice so dam fine,” he captioned the post, raising eyebrows. According to him, however, he “just wanted to show her some respect” and wasn’t actually flirting. What do you think of Shaq sliding into Toosii’s baby mama Samaria’s DMs? What about Toosii putting him on blast? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

When speaking about the beef, Osaka made sure to clarify that she is a “pacifist” and “neutral party” in the beef. She then ultimately sided with Kendrick. Osaka went on to describe her love for Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us,” which she has been enjoying on repeat and using for her walk-out music.

the four-time Grand Slam title champion said of “Not Like Us,” “Kendrick dropped some heat.” She continued, “That last song is amazing, and I played it while walking onto the court.” Osaka was asked by a reporter if she thought the Compton rapper should drop another diss track. Osaka replied, “Yeah. Sorry.” she then explained why it should lowkey happen. She explained, “Technically, Kendrick dropped that song, then Drake dropped “The Heart Part 6,” so technically Kendrick could drop another two if he wanted to,”

Subsequently, Osaka brought up a similar topic that was discussed in “The Heart Part 6,” when Drake discussed the conflict and said he’s “happy I could motivate you” since Kendrick’s fans are actually “getting raps” out of the MC. All signs point to Drake having lost the battle. People are declaring Kendrick the winner, saying Drake’s last diss didn’t go over that well.

Patrick Beverley Hit With Suspension For Throwing Ball At Pacers Fans

May 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Patrick Beverley has been suspended by the NBA for throwing a ball at fans during the Pacers-Bucks playoffs series. This morning, it was reported that the Indianapolis police department was investigating the incident for potential charges being levied at Beverley. Now, the NBA has handed down its punishment in the form of a 4-gam suspension. The suspension is also a punishment for Beverley’s post-game dismissal of a female reporter from the locker room. Beverley told the reporter to leave the locker room because she did not subscribe to his podcast.

With Patrick Beverley set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, his future team is a big question. It also stands to reason that his entire NBA future is uncertain. He is an older player with a lot of baggage and teams will ask if he is worth the headache. In the event that he moves on, it becomes apparent that the upcoming suspension will prevent him from making his new team’s debut straight away. An investigation is taking place, and the Indianapolis police are set on following through and doing their due diligence.

Patrick Beverley Suspended For 4-Games

— NBA Communications (@NBAPR) May 9, 2024

Patrick Beverley did apologize for his acts and labeled them “inexcusable” earlier this week on his podcast, “The Pat Bev Podcast with Rone.” He explained that he did it because the trash talk by fans within the arena went too far. However, he restated that he ought not to have thrown the ball into the crowd. Patrick Beverley will now serve a 4-game suspension for both the act of throwing a ball at fans twice and disparaging a reporter after the game. Beverley might need to take up podcasting full-time. He is an unrestricted free agent after the season. Overall, it’s a big question mark where he will play next.

If he gets a minimum deal again next season—which is expected to be $3.3 million—he would lose almost $90,000 as a result of the ban. This isn’t the first time he has been suspended. During a blowout defeat to the Phoenix Suns in Game 6 of the Western Conference finals in 2021, Beverley shoved Chris Paul in the back as both players were making their way to their benches. As a result, he received a one-game ban while still a member of the LA Clippers. All in all, Pat Bev seems like he can’t handle losing.

Glen Davis Sentenced To 40 Months In Prison For Scheme To Fraud NBA Healthcare System

May 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Former NBA player Glen “Big Baby” Davis was recently sentenced to prison by a federal judge. The judge sentenced Davis on charges that he embezzled a significant sum of money from the NBA’s healthcare plan. In November 2023, Davis was found guilty of participating in a purported plot to cheat the NBA’s Players’ Health and Benefit Welfare Plan. On Thursday, a New York judge ordered the former Boston Celtics champion to serve 40 months in prison. Davis was also mandated to spend three years of supervised release; he had been facing a potential 20-year jail sentence in this case. Furthermore, the judge further ordered him to make restitution of $80,000.

Twenty individuals, including former players Will Bynum, Terrence Williams, and Keyon Dooling, were indicted for submitting fraudulent claims for reimbursement to the NBA’s health and welfare benefit plan for operations and medical services that never materialized. Davis is one of these individuals. Furthermore, Terrence Williams, a former first-round draft pick, was believed to be the scheme’s architect. In August of last year, he received a 10-year prison term. Additionally, Bynum was ordered to pay $183,000 in reparations and received an 18-month prison stay in April.

Glen Davis Sentenced To 40 Months In Prison

Glen Davis was found guilty of wire fraud, health care fraud, conspiracy to conduct wire fraud, and conspiracy to make false claims. He could have spent twenty years behind bars. When the convictions were announced, the Southern District of New York released a statement. They stated that the scheme’s participants had generated over $5 million in illegal profits. When investigators were able to show through cellular data that Davis was, in fact, in Las Vegas at the time, he submitted $132,000 worth of claims, including $ 27,200 for dental care in Beverly Hills, according to reports.

Throughout his eight NBA seasons, Glen Davis averaged eight points and 4.4 rebounds per game. He played for the Los Angeles Clippers, Boston Celtics, and Orlando Magic. Representing LSU, Davis was selected in the second round of the 2007 NBA Draft. He played for the Celtics during their 2008 NBA championship run. Davis finished fourth in the Sixth Man of the Year voting in 2011–12. Overall, its a disappointing situation for Davis and the NBA.

Ja Rule Accused Of Cursing The New York Knicks

May 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The New York Knicks’ prospects of winning their first NBA Championship since 1973 have been allegedly cursed by Ja Rule. The Knicks just went up 2-0 on the Indiana Pacers in the second round of the NBA playoffs on Wednesday night. Despite the win, some fans are worried that Ja Rule has apparently cursed their title chances. This is a major development for Knicks fans, who have their best team in a long time with a legit chance to make the Eastern Conference finals and maybe even the NBA finals.

The coveted Larry O’Brien trophy was lifted and kissed by Ja before the game, and he was heard saying, “Champions only, baby. Go Knicks!” this is very concerning for Knicks fans. Fans immediately felt like Ja Rule had cursed the Knicks’ championship chances. They might be right because multiple instances in the game have resulted in a dubious rest of the series for New York despite being up 2-0 on the Indiana Pacers.

Ja Rule Curses Knicks As Players Get Injured

A post shared by NBA (@nba)

The video caused shock among viewers, with one saying, “Smh n**ga done cursed us wtf!” The innocent video of Ja Rule with the NBA championship trophy has caused Knicks fans to think the absolute worst. Another fan said, “This n**ga holds the chip and brunson and anoby [sic] get injured someone call fif to get the strap.” Another Knicks fan wrote: “knicks players started dropping like flies. i hate this n**ga.” Knicks superstar Jalen Brunson was injured during the game and didn’t play the entire second quarter. Although he was able to return to the game in the third quarter, he was not 100%. Additionally, OG Anunoby suffered what looked like a bad hamstring injury towards the end of the game.

Despite the win, the Knicks came out of the game very injured. The curse from Ja Rule might have been legit, unfortunately. Ja is no stranger to cursing NBA franchises. In 2019, following a poor halftime show that was heavily ridiculed by fans. He declared he was putting a curse on the Sacramento Kings and the Minnesota Timberwolves. The only remedy may be getting Ja’s longtime enemy, 50 Cent, to do something to lift the Knicks curse. All in all, the Knicks may have just been unlucky. It is not a good look if you are Ja Rule.

Shohei Ohtani’s Interpreter Facing 33 Years In Prison Over Stealing $17 Million

May 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ippei Mizuhara, the former interpreter and close friend of Shohei Ohtani, will enter a guilty plea to many federal charges after acknowledging that he stole around $17 million from the Dodgers star. As a result, he may spend more than three decades behind bars. Mizuhara agreed to plead guilty to one count of bank fraud and one count of filing a false tax return. The crime spanned multiple years. Additionally, the US Justice Department revealed on Wednesday that he would soon be sentenced.

United States Attorney Martin Estrada said of Ippei’s actions, “The extent of this defendant’s deception and theft is massive.” He continued, “He took advantage of his position of trust to take advantage of Mr. Ohtani and fuel a dangerous gambling habit. My office is committed to vindicating victims throughout our community and ensuring that wrongdoers face justice.” There is a maximum sentence of 30 years for the bank fraud accusation and three years for the tax allegation. Furthermore, there will most likely be a significant reduction in sentence length.

Shohei Ohtani’s Interpreter Gambling Controversy

Asserting that Mizuhara “exploited his relationship” with Shohei Ohtani, the government will concede that Mizuhara transferred about $17 million of Ohtani’s money covertly to settle gambling debts. According to reports, Mizuhara paid Ryan Boyajian, a cast member of Real Housewives of Orange County, who was an alleged collaborator with Matthew Bowyer, the accused illegal bookmaker. Reports say Boyajian and Bowyer would “clean” the illegal money at casinos in Las Vegas.

Ohtani, who is non-English speaking, depended on Mizuhara for almost everything when he first came to the United States from Japan. Mizuhara created the slugger’s bank account in 2018. The DOJ claims that Ippei started placing bets on athletic events in September 2021 and soon incurred a massive debt from a bookie but kept making bets. He then planned to siphon money from Shohei Ohtani’s finances to settle debts and keep betting. In conclusion, Ippei Mizuhara will be arranged on May 14th.

Josh Hart Hilariously Lets Reggie Miller Know The Knicks Crowd Is Chanting “F—You Reggie!”

May 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The New York Knicks are up 2-0 on the Indiana Pacers after another thrilling win in Madison Square Garden. Like always, the Knicks crowd provided a great atmosphere and were extremely active during the game. The Knicks and Pacers have a storied rivalry, and the series feels like it means something to both team’s fans beyond the playoffs. Pacers legend and Hall of Famer Reggie Miller was back at Madison Square Garden to call the game, and it was a big deal for Knicks fans. Reggie was a thorn in the side of the Knicks in the 90s, and the crowd made sure to give him a warm welcome. Knicks guard Josh Hart had to let Reggie know.

As the Knicks began to assert their dominance in the game’s final minutes, the New York fans decided to add their unique touch to the proceedings. They chose to shower Reggie Miller once again, a gesture that was both humorous and a testament to their passion for the game. Miller, who had been flown in by TNT for Game 2, was calling the Nuggets and Timberwolves series, which had an extended break until Friday’s Game 3. The crowd chanted in unison, “F*** you Reggie!” Reggie and the broadcast crew were oblivious to the chants because of their headsets, so Josh Hart went over to Reggie during a dead ball and hilariously let the Pacers legend know what was up.

Josh Hart Alerts Reggie Miller T MSG Crowds Hilarious Chant

You can hear Josh Hart drop the f-bomb while letting Reggie know. The moment was just another highlight in what has been an entertaining playoff from the New York Knicks. The games at MSG have been a show. The atmosphere and passion of the fans make the games feel special. Reggie Miller being back at MSG was just another fun wrinkle in the proceedings. He et up with his old frenemy Spike Lee, and even Ben Stiller jokingly gave him the middle finger while passing him by.

It’s good times in New York, but there are some major worries for the Knicks. Jalen Brunson left the game in the first quarter with a foot injury but was able to return in the second half. Knicks defensive stopper OG Anunoby left the game in the fourth quarter with what appeared to be a hamstring injury. That will be a major blow for the Knicks if he has to miss time. The Knicks’ big man Mitchell Robinson is currently out, and he has the same injury he received from Joel Embiid’s dirty play. Overall, whoever is playing for the Knicks will leave everything on the floor, and the fans will be 100% behind them, chanting, “F*** you Reggie.”

Patrick Beverley Investigated By Police After Throwing Ball At Fan

May 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Patrick Beverley’s actions in Indiana have left many surprised and concerned. The Bucks guard, known for his aggressive playstyle, had a night filled with controversies as the Indiana Pacers eliminated his team from the playoffs. Beverley, who often engages in trash-talking, was seen throwing a ball not once but twice at fans standing behind the Bucks bench. His post-game behavior was equally unexpected. He expelled a reporter from the locker room for not subscribing to his podcast. The situation has taken a serious turn, with the police now involved in the ball-throwing incident.

The NBA player is currently being investigated by Indianapolis police. They have stated that they are looking into the ball-throwing incident involving Patrick Beverley. A representative for the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department has confirmed that, on May 2, after Beverley threw a basketball at Indiana fans twice during the Bucks’ playoff game against the Pacers at Gainbridge Fieldhouse, investigators did in fact file a case report. The representative claims that the report was subsequently sent to investigators. The investigators are currently attempting to obtain additional video from the arena and speak with those who were involved. The representative went on to say that as soon as the investigation is complete, detectives are supposed to forward their results to prosecutors.

Patrick Beverley Has Apolologized For Ball Throwing Tantrum

Patrick Beverley has not yet made any public comments regarding the criminal inquiry, although he did apologize for his acts and labeled them “inexcusable” earlier this week on his podcast, “The Pat Bev Podcast with Rone.” He explained that he did it because the trash talk by fans within the arena went too far. However, he restated that he ought not to have thrown the ball into the crowd. There has still not been a punishment from the NBA, which may be waiting for the criminal investigation to be completed.

Patrick Beverley went too far. When Draymond Green is saying you went too far, you went too far. Beverley has a history of being a sore loser and letting his emotions get the better. Just ask Chris Paul. Hopefully, the investigation isnt too severe as it was just a ball. Overall, it would be a shame for this to get blown out of proportion. The NBA should suspend and fine him and call it a day.
