Carmelo Anthony “Throwback” Performance Blows Jadakiss Away

December 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

On a recent joint appearance on 7pm in Brooklyn, Carmelo Anthony found a way to wow his close friend Jadakiss. As Jadakiss gave Usher his flowers for his recently-ended Vegas residency, he also mentioned that he still fondly remembered his time working with Usher. A moment later, Anthony was dropping a perfect cover of Kiss’ verse from that collaboration, “Throwback”. “He killed it!” Jadakiss exclaimed once Anthony had powered through the verse. You can watch Melo’s impromptu performance below. Let us know in the comments what you thought of Melo’s performance.

Jadakiss and Melo have been friends for most of Anthony’s professional basketball career. After Melo retired in May, Kiss was sure to honor his close friend. As Jadakiss began his performance at an Air Jordan event in July, he played audio from the 2003 NBA Draft, specifically the announcement of Melo going third overall to the Nuggets. Melo was in the crowd and was evidentially touched by the unorthodox shoutout. Kiss has also referred to Anthony as his “little brother” on numerous occasions during their friendship. Furthermore, Kiss’ son previously called his dad the “Melo of the [music] industry”, drawing yet another parallel between the pair.

Drake Links Up With Camelo Anthony’s Son

However, Melo isn’t the only one with hip-hop connections. While walking through the crowd at Madison Square Garden during an It’s All A Blur tour stop, Drake spotted a familiar face. The Toronto rapper bounded over to embrace and greet Kiyan Anthony, Melo’s son. Furthermore, evidence from social media indicated that the pair had grabbed a picture together after the show.

Kiyan is a four-star recruit in the class of 2025. He is ranked #45 by 247 Sports and #52 by ESPN. He currently has a wealth of collegiate offers, including his father’s alma mater Syracuse. Additionally, Carmelo Anthony revealed in post-retirement interviews that he had intended to retire earlier, but that his son encouraged him to keep playing. Kiyan’s other offers are from Bryant, George Mason, Manhattan, and Memphis.

Travis Scott’s Drink Explodes After Being Hit By Loose Ball At Knicks-Nets: Watch

December 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

For the second time this week, things are hitting Travis Scott. While courtside at Knicks-Nets, a loose ball collided with Scott, causing his seltzer to go everywhere. As stadium workers rushed up to clean up the spillage, play-by-play announcer Ian Eagle called Scott’s drink explosion a “geyser”. However, Scott took the whole thing in stride and calmly cracked open a new can while bemusedly watching the replay on the jumbotron.

However, as mentioned, it’s the second time this week something like this has happened. Scott was hit in the back of the head by one of his stage props while performing at a concert this week. Luckily, he was able to regain his balance and simply move to another part of the stage, as opposed to being knocked off the stage entirely. Hopefully, Scott can get through Christmas without any more disasters.

Meanwhile, a pair of custom Cactus Jack Air Jordans that Scott gave to a fan at Rolling Loud Germany has been put up for auction. Scott gifted the Egyptian fan the shoes after bringing the man up on stage. It was one of several impromptu clothing giveaways Scott did in his pre-Utopia festival circuit. The shoes are being sold through Goldin’s and are expected to go for around $10,000. “In an iconic moment in pop culture history, we’re excited to see these sneakers hit the auction block. As a sneakerhead myself, it’s great to offer a rare opportunity for other collectors to own a custom pair of Air Jordans” auction owner Ken Goldin told TMZ.

As mentioned, it wasn’t the first time that Scott gave away his shoes over the summer. Earlier in July, at Longitude Festival in Dublin, Scott got up close and personal with the throbbing mass of fans at the barricade. Picking out one fan in particular, Scott began to rap back and forth with the fan, who eagerly responded. The back-and-forth continued, with Scott getting more and more hyped up about the interaction. When the verse ended, Scott pulled off his shirt, an unreleased Utopia merch item, as well as his Air Jordans. Fighting back the sea of grabbing hands, Scott handed the items to the fan he had rapped with.

Myles Turner Attends Pacers’ “Star Wars” Night With Girlfriend Dressed As Princess Leia

December 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Pacers center Myles Turner was allowed to express his full inner geek when the team held a Star Wars night earlier this week. Turner arrived dressed as Han Solo while his partner wowed in a faithful recreation of Princess Leia’s iconic outfit. The pair had previously dressed as Hogwarts students to celebrate Halloween. However, people have been begging Turner for the woman’s name as it is something he has kept very private. Furthermore, Turner appeared in a Jedi robe and wielding a lightsaber in several promotional images for the event.

As for the game itself, the force was certainly with the high-flying Pacers. They blew out the Hornets 144-113. Turner had 18 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 blocks to do his part as the team snapped a four-game losing streak. However, Turner picked up a hamstring injury during the game. As a result, he is currently listed as a game-time decision ahead of the team’s next game against the Grizzlies.

Ja Morant’s Immunity Ruling Delayed To Next Year

Speaking of the Grizzlies, a new shadow hangs over recently returned star Ja Morant. According to Judge Carol Chumney who is presiding over an assault suit involving Morant, she is not ready to rule on whether he is protected by self-defense immunity. She stated that she needed more time with the case due to the lack of precedent. Tennessee has stringent self-defense laws. However, they have never been applied to a civil case like the one Morant is facing.

Morant has been sued by Joshua Holloway. Holloway claims that Morant assaulted him when Holloway attended a pick-up game at Morant’s home. Morant has countered that he was defending himself as Holloway hit him in the face with a basketball. Furthermore, Morant’s lawyers have argued that this qualifies Morant for immunity from prosecution under state law. The ongoing trial has played out in the background as Morant scored 34 points, including a game-winning buzzer-beater, in his NBA return this week.

Tyreek Hill Allegedly Named As Father Of Third Child Born This Year

December 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Tyreek Hill has reportedly been named as the father of a third child born this year. The news comes a week after a pair of paternity suits filed by women who claim that Hill currently pays them $2500 a month for the upkeep of children they had with him that were born this year. Little is known about the third woman he reportedly had a child with. However, she has not at this time filed a paternity suit like Brittany Lackner and Kimberly Baker.

Lackner, a travel influencer, came forward with claims that Hill had gotten her pregnant in January of this year before giving birth in February. Baker originally came forward in May. However, unlike Lackner, Baker does not have a prior paternity test that allegedly proves that Hill is the father. Furthermore, Hill has sought to have both women’s suits dismissed as neither woman currently lives in the state of Florida.

History Becomes Harder For Tyreek Hill

UPDATE: Miami Dolphins star wide receiver Tyreek Hill reportedly had a 3rd child this year with 3 different women. 2 of the women have just filed paternity suits. He now reportedly has 7 children and he just got married a couple of weeks ago. pic.twitter.com/cdSOsQAfQY

Elsewhere, Hill’s quest to become the NFL’s first 2000-yard receiver became that much harder last weekend. Hill was a late injury scratch from the Dolphins’ dominant win over the Jets. Missing the game meant that Hill was unable to add to his current yardage tally of 1542. With three games left in the regular season, Hill will need to average 152.6 yards against the Cowboys, Ravens, and Bills just to hit 2000. Hill has hit this mark five times this year. However, those games were never against the level of opponent the Dolphins are still to face. Additionally, the Fins’ final three opponents have combined to allow 0 150-yard receivers and just nine 100-yard receivers this season so far.

It remains to be seen if Hill can even match Calvin Johnson’s record, let alone eclipse 2000. However, if he get the ball rolling against Dallas on December 24, it would be a hell of a Christmas present for the Fins’ faithful. Do you think Hill is going to surpass 2000 yards this season? Let us know in the comments.

Ja Morant’s Immunity In Assault Trial To Be Decided Next Year

December 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

A ruling as to whether Ja Morant is eligible for immunity under Tennessee’s self-defense laws is not expected any time soon, the presiding judge has warned. “Everybody was hoping for a big decision, or finality, or something like that. These are important legal issues.” Shelby County Circuit Court Judge Carol Chumney told The Commercial Appeal. According to Judge Chumney, she needs more time with the case due to the lack of precedent. While Tennessee has stringent self-defense laws, they have never been applied to a civil case like the one Morant is facing.

Morant has been sued by Joshua Holloway, who claims that Morant assaulted him when Holloway attended a pick-up game at Morant’s home. Morant has countered that he was defending himself as Holloway hit him in the face with a basketball. Furthermore, Morant’s lawyers have argued that this qualifies Morant for immunity from prosecution under state law. The ongoing trial has played out in the background as Morant made his return to the NBA this week.

Ja Morant Reflects On Suspension, Shines In Return

A judge’s ruling in Ja Morant’s civil immunity case won’t come until next year after she punted it, citing the lack of precedence in Tennessee. She said this makes it “much more important to do substantial work” prior to the ruling. https://t.co/wP4msbJCcv

Morant made his 2023/24 debut earlier this week, helping seal a win for the adrift Grizzlies. Prior to the game, he had reflected on the 25-game suspension he received for flashing a gun on Instagram. Amid some wider comments, Morant said there had been some “horrible days”. However, Morant accepted that simply returning to the Grizzlies wasn’t going to be enough for a lot of people. “I can’t, you know, make nobody believe me outside of my actions. So me answering this question with just words probably won’t mean nothing to nobody,” Morant told reporters.

Morant scored 34 points in his season debut as the Grizzlies improved to 7-19 and snapped a five-game losing streak. “I feel like it was the perfect ending, perfect day,” Morant said of his game-winning buzzer-beater that sealed a massive, 24-point comeback from the Grizzlies. After the game, Morant signed his jersey and gifted it to LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels, who was sat courtside. Daniels was recently named the 2023 Heisman Winner for his monumental season leading the Tigers. However, Daniels will not play in LSU’s ReliaQuest Bowl game against Wisconsin on New Year’s Day. Instead, Daniels will skip the game to focus on preparing for the NFL Draft.

Jermell Charlo Audio Appears To Include Boxer Bragging About Assaulting His Wife

December 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Audio of Jermell Charlo leaked after the boxer was arrested this week appears to include Charlo openly bragging about assaulting his wife. “I hit that b-tch like this in the eye. Socked her in the eye. Big swole purple thing came open. That b-tch called the cops on me. Like a woman. Like a regular woman,” Charlo can be heard saying in the clip. While his alleged victim was not immediately named, his wife Chyane filed both a temporary restraining order and divorce papers against Charlo. This remains a developing story.

Charlo hasn’t fought since a unanimous decision loss to Canelo Alvarez earlier this year. Alvarez, who had told reporters he was “still in his prime” prior to the fight, spent most of the bout trying to goad Charlo into engaging. Charlo, who was fighting up two divisions, managed to avoid most of Alvarez’s power attacks but rarely went on the offensive himself. “I feel like it wasn’t me in there. I don’t make excuses. You win some, you lose some. I’m undisputed in my weight; I was daring to be great. I’m proud of myself. He didn’t knock me out; he knocked all the other guys out,” Charlo said after the fight. Furthermore, Charlo confirmed that he would be returning to 154 pounds for the foreseeable future.

UFC Star Arrested

However, Charlo is not the only person who has been recently arrested for allegedly assaulting a family member. At the start of December, former UFC champion Jamahal Hill was arrested on a domestic violence charge in Michigan. Hill was booked at a jail in Kent County on November 27 and released later that same day. However, prosecutors also charged the 32-year-old with a single count of misdemeanor aggravated domestic violence. Hill was accused of assaulting his brother James. However, details about the altercation are scarce.

Hill rose to the top of his UFC weight division in January, beating Glover Teixeira at UFC 283 for the vacant light heavyweight title. However, Hill’s tenure with the belt only lasted until July. After suffering an Achilles tendon rupture, Hill vacated the title. Alex Pereria took the vacant belt at UFC 295 last month. Prior to his arrest, Hill was expected to challenge Pereria for the belt once he recovered from his injury.

December 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

A couple of days ago, tragedy struck for the family and friends of Maryana Rodgers, The 23-year-old woman was a close friend of the now-criminal, Sakari Harnden. Rodgers was expecting to see Sakari for a “kinky sex” session that was planned by the 19-year-old. Chance Comanche, former G-League player and ex of Sakari was posing as a “trick,” which is someone who pays someone else to fulfill their sexual fantasies. Rodgers was down to do it since she was expecting a payout of $1000.

When Rodgers showed up everything came to a twisted and sad end. Chance said that he proceeded to wrap an HDMI cord around Rodger’s neck to strangle her. Sakari then choked her out until she was unresponsive. Chance and Sakari then hid her body out in the desert somewhere in Las Vegas. The Arizona basketball alum admitted to the kidnapping and murdering of Rodgers recently.

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

Rodgers went missing on Dec. 7 according to AP. The motivation to plan this murder came from Sakari. According to reports from FOX5 Vegas in the video above, “police found out that Sakari, the suspect, had told her friends that she wasn’t feeling [Rodgers] because she spoke to the authorities in LA about something, which resulted in her [new] boyfriend’s arrest in a double murder case.
