Island Boys Member Flashes His Private Parts During Adin Ross Stream

August 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

If you are familiar with the Island Boys, then you know that they are always with the antics. Although their infamous song has worn off, they are still making headlines, mostly for all of the wrong reasons. For instance, they were recently seen kissing each other on social media, which led to a lot of allegations of incest. However, they have since said that their kissing is not sexual. Overall, it is very weird and people are wondering why they would stoop to this kind of nonsense just for clicks.

Additionally, one of the members, Flyysoulja, revealed that they are gay. This has led to some questions given the fact that the announcement was made not long after the video in which he kissed his brother. At this point, it is clear that they are looking to remain relevant by any means necessary. For instance, last night, they found themselves on a livestream with none other than Adin Ross. As you would expect, it devolved into all sorts of debauchery that has the internet abuzz.

The Island Boys Are Unhinged

Firstly, in the Twitter video above, you can see that they got into a pretty big fight. Essentially, Adin Ross asked the Kodiakredd and Flyysoulja to kiss. Subsequently, the two got angry and it led to an insult battle. Ross even called them the “Incest Boys” which added insult to injury. Following this, there was one point in the stream where an Island Boys member flashed his penis. Of course, we cannot show that or even link to it. However, it happened, and Adin Ross was entirely grossed out by the whole thing.

At this point, there is nothing the Island Boys will not do for clout. They know what gets people talking, and they are doing it. However, whether or not this will garner them any respect, seems entirely irrelevant to them. Let us know what you think of their behavior, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the music world.

Travis Scott’s Attorney Claims Astroworld Report Was Issued To Hurt “UTOPIA” Sales

July 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Travis Scott’s new album UTOPIA is finally here, and it’s already seeing a lot of incredible success. Moreover, it’s the fifth biggest opening streaming day for an album in Spotify’s history. Obviously, it’s the biggest one so far in 2023. With over 128 million first-day streams, the album joins the ranks of Drake’s Certified Lover Boy and Scorpion, Taylor Swift’s Midnights, and Bad Bunny’s Un Verano Sin Ti as the platform’s largest album streaming debuts, standing behind all of those. In addition, this is double what his last album ASTROWORLD garnered day one on Spotify. Every song on UTOPIA landed in the top 19 of Spotify’s U.S. chart.

However, allegations emerged that the final police report on the 2021 Astroworld Festival tragedy came out on the same day as UTOPIA in order to hurt these sales. Furthermore, these came from Travis Scott’s attorney Kent Schafer, who remarked to TMZ that this is no mere coincidence. For example, he explained that the rollout led specifically to this date, and that they informed people of such Also, he denied claims that the Houston artist was responsible for, or aware of, deaths and injuries at the concert. After this news broke, representatives for the “DELRESTO” MC issued a statement to the publication responding to these conclusions.

Travis Scott Putting Up Huge Numbers Already

“The timing of the Houston Police Department report’s release, coinciding with the launch of Travis Scott’s highly anticipated album, is anything but coincidental,” they expressed. “Travis Scott and his team were, as anticipated, fully cleared of any wrongdoing associated with the Astroworld tragedy by a grand jury based on the very report released today. It is outrageous that HPD has chosen to resort to tactics that attempt to discredit Travis and his team, casting doubt on how the unfortunate events at Astroworld actually transpired while deflecting blame from their own critical failures.

More Impressive Streaming Accomplishments For UTOPIA

“Travis’s commitment to his audience’s safety and well-being is well-documented,” the statement continues. “As reported countless times, he actively stopped the show three separate times. Contrary to the HPD report’s inaccuracies, the concert did end at the exact time communicated to Travis. Meanwhile, Houston police officers present at the event did not intervene during the unfolding situation. They were observed throughout the show standing by idly, buying merch and even filming the concert in its entirety. We encourage the Houston PD to make peace with the fact that Travis Scott and his team were found innocent of any wrongdoing and to focus on what really matters – making sure tragedies like Astroworld never occur again under their watch.” For more news and the latest updates on Travis Scott, keep checking in with HNHH.

Paramount+ Announces “MIXTAPE” Documentary With Lil Wayne, A$AP Rocky & More

July 13, 2023 by newhiphopnews

There’s an age-old question that pops up whenever a rap newcomer first comes across something like Lil Wayne’s No Ceiling projects: what’s the difference between an album and a mixtape? Moreover, there are many metrics that people might use to distinguish them: quality control, recording process, release methods, etc. A common thread across these discussions, though, is the vitality and importance of the mixtape to the hip-hop genre. Furthermore, these projects are often uninhibited, sometimes obscured by the passage of time, but forever influential and freeing for artists- if done well. Whatever era of hip-hop you look at, at least a good handful (if not a treasure trove) of killer mixtapes awaits.

However, the same era they thrived in is no longer what we see in the music landscape. Speaking of No Ceilings, Weezy himself said that it would be more difficult and less alluring to drop a mixtape in today’s day and age, what with sample clearances, overloaded release schedules, and so on. With all this history in mind, Paramount+ is taking a deep dive into the importance of the medium with the documentary MIXTAPE. Premiering exclusively on the streaming service on August 1 in the U.S. and Canada and on August 2 in other international markets, the film will explore how mixtapes breathed life into rap music.

Of course, these aren’t exactly the kinds of mixtapes that Tunechi brought us, but rather those from the DJs and tastemakers of hip-hop. MTV Entertainment Studios produced MIXTAPE in association with Def Jam Recordings and a soundtrack will accompany it. Guests in the film include A$AP Rocky, Lil Wayne, DJ Drama, 2 Chainz, Funkmaster Flex, DJ Khaled, Fat Joe, Fabolous, Jadakiss, DJ Green Lantern, DJ Jazzy Joyce, KRS-One, and many more. In a press release, some of the film’s crew members remarked on its importance.

“Hip-hop is 50 years old and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate its journey and contextualize its evolution than through the story of the mixtape,” said director Omar Acosta. “Every voice in this film played a critical role, especially the DJs who, as KRS-ONE says beautifully in the film, risked everything to ‘bring us the music.’” “It’s an honor to be involved in this film and to help tell the real story of the mixtape, its origins, its impact, and its on-going relevance for the culture,” producer Tony Touch expressed. For more news and the latest updates on this documentary, come back to HNHH.

Adam22 Approves Of Lena The Plug & Adin Ross Making An Adult Video Together

July 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Adam22 has been a hot topic in the news this month as he continues to proudly support his pornstar wife, Lena The Plug. The couple has been creating content together for a long time, but recently, they decided to expand their horizons and allow Lena to get intimate with another man in front of the cameras. In an interview afterward, the X-rated star revealed that she was in pain for a few days after filming with Jason Luv. At the same time, Adam22 pointed out that he’s slept with “hundreds of girls” throughout his relationship with Lena, which is why he’s unbothered by her own personal exploration.

After exploring the world of interracial intimacy with Jason, it seems Lena’s husband has very different plans for her next salacious scene. The lovers joined Adin Ross for a live stream earlier this week, during which Adam suggested that the 22-year-old should be the next person to get into the sack with his wife. “I was debating getting into porn, but I don’t know,” the Kick Streamer told the controversial media personality. “Really? What do I have to do to get you to bang my girl?” Adam asked Adin without any hesitation.

Adam22 Encourages Adin Ross to Collaborate with His Wife

“Let’s talk about that!” the young YouTuber replied. “It was obviously a joke, I don’t think I’m gonna get into porn and stuff, Adam.” Ross’ guest was quick to diss him, saying, “I would love to see that pale, shrivelled little d**k across from me, you know?”

While a good portion of the internet has been labelling Adam22 a “simp” or “cuckold” for encouraging his wife, Lena the Plug, to sleep with other men, the adult actress simply doesn’t see it that way. Over the weekend she spoke out about the double standards that exist within our society, encouraging people to look at things from a different perspective. Read all that she had to say at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

YNW Melly Verdict: Betting Website Accepts Wagers As Rapper Continues To Gain Streamers

July 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It was reported last week that YNW Melly’s double murder trial will likely go on for at least another month. The 23-year-old has been behind bars on accusations of killing his two friends – YNW Juvy and YNW SakChaser – in 2018. Nevertheless, he’s consistently maintained his innocence. Melly’s trial so far has been filled with ups and downs. At this time, it’s hard to say whether the embattled artist will walk away a free man, or face the death penalty for his alleged crimes.

As Vibe reports, the internet continues to speculate about what the Florida native’s fate will be. Of course, some people are bypassing taste completely with their discourse. For instance, @betonline_ag is offering a $100 Freeplay to one lucky winner who comments under a recent Instagram post with their opinion on whether Melly is guilty or not. “Bet on @ynwmelly’s trial at the link in @BetOnline_ag’s bio and get a sign-up bonus of up to $1,000,” the company further urged viewers.

Guilty or Innocent?

As expected, the comment section has filled with reactions, some of them insisting that Melly is responsible for his friend’s deaths and others siding with the “Murder on my Mind” hitmaker. “No way y’all got odds for bro freedom ,” one person responded to the post on Sunday (July 9). “He literally made a song admitting it ,” another pointed out.

Speaking of his music, as Bryson “Boom” Paul reports, Melly’s streaming numbers have consistently increased since his trial began in June. This week there was a 1.2% growth, marking 143,445 new monthly listeners. While still impressive, it’s actually the accused killer’s lowest increase as of late.

Talib Kweli Fires Back At Fans Upset With Takedown Of Black Star’s “No Fear Of Time” Album

July 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Talib Kweli got into it with fans on social media, earlier this week, while discussing the recent takedown of Black Star’s No Fear of Time album. The album originally dropped on the podcast subscription service, Luminary, last May but has since disappeared from the platform.

The drama started when Kweli announced that the album is now available for purchase on Bandcamp for $9. He also added that it will be out on vinyl soon. “Why was it taken off Luminary???” one user asked. Kweli responded: “Because luminary don’t own it. We do.”

From there, things got more heated. When one user criticized him for giving “a non answer,” he fired back. “Imagine thinking I owe you an explanation for how I release my album that you didn’t make,” he wrote. “I don’t. Our deal with luminary was for three months. We left it up there for a year. That means you got to hear it for free for 7 months. You’re welcome. Now if you wanna buy it you can.”

He added: “If you want to complain instead, you’re proving this album was never for you. I don’t work for you and I actually don’t care whether you hear it or not. I don’t make music for you, I make music for my own mental health. How you feel about that doesn’t matter.”

More fans continued to accuse him of being “drunk” while he labeled them “facist” and told them to “fuck off.” Many users were upset about renewing a Luminary subscription, just for the album they wanted to hear to be removed. “You paid to hear black star for 3 months because that’s what our deal was. You gonna tell me about MY deal? Don’t do that. That’s st*pid of you,” Kweli responded. Check out the post featuring Kweli’s comments above.

50 Cent Receives 1 Billion Stream Plaque From Spotify

June 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

One of the biggest ways to prove a song is popular these days is by checking its streaming numbers. Some of the biggest hits of the past few years have racked up billions and billions of streams. Post Malone’s “Rockstar” and “Sunflower” have both generated more than 2.7 Billion streams. The Weeknd’s mega-hit “Blinding Lights” leads the way with over 3.6 billion streams. What’s even more impressive is when songs that predate streaming altogether manage to hit streaming milestones. Artists like Queen, Eminem, Coldplay, Nirvana and The Killers have all found success on the platform. Each artist has at least one song with a billion streams that came out before Spotify was founded.

Recently, 50 Cent joined that group with a milestone of his own. His 2003 smash-hit “In Da Club” recently became the newest song to join the billion streams club. The song now has over 400 million more streams that his second biggest hit on the platform, “Candy Shop.” The track joins The White Stripes hit song “Seven Nation Army” among tracks from 2003 to hit 1 billion streams. To celebrate, Spotify sent 50 Cent a plaque sporting a silver plated version of their logo to celebrate.

50 Cent Hits 1 Billion Streams

Recently 50 Cent was hailed as a good luck charm for an appearance at an NHL game. The rapper sounded the siren to kick off Game 5 of the Stanley Cup finals a few weeks ago in Las Vegas. The game ultimately became the clinching win for the Las Vegas Golden Knights to take home the Stanley Cup.

50 Cent also started some controversy earlier this month when he spoke out against the WGA strike. In his assessment, the strike would make things worse for writers rather than better. His comments were widely condemned by many pro-union artists. The scenario got even worse when one of his producers threatened to hit striking writers with his SUV. What do you think of 50 Cent’s song “In Da Club” hitting 1 billion streams? Let us know in the comment section below.

ASAP Rocky’s Track “Praise The Lord” Featuring Skepta Hits 1 Billon Spotify Streams

June 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

ASAP Rocky’s 2018 track alongside English artist Skepta, “Praise The Lord (Da Shine),” has reached a new streaming milestone. The song, which appears on ASAP Rocky’s album Testing, has officially hit 1 billion streams on Spotify according to UK Rap Daily. Listeners clearly dig the collab, which features vocals and production from the UK artist. Following it’s release, the track quickly became a fan favorite. The duo also dropped a ’90s-inspired accompanying music video to the song in June of 2018.

Following the release of the collaboration, ASAP Rocky discussed how the track was created. He revealed that the pair were tripping on acid while they worked on the track, giving listeners some insight to the experimental bars. “We was all in London at my spot,” he began the story, “Skeppy came through.” He continued, telling Genius, “I have this psychedelic professor, he studies in LSD. I had him come through and kinda record and monitor us to actually test the product while being tested on. We did the rhymes all tripping balls bro. N***as was high.”

“Praise The Lord (Da Shine)”

Aside from the recent streaming feat, ASAP Rocky also got fans talking this week when he appeared to hint at another major milestone. Rihanna attended his Cannes performance earlier this week, where the rapper referred to her as his wife. “I’d like to dedicate this song to my beautiful wife in the motherf*cking building!,” he said during the show. However, a report by RadarOnline last month claimed the couple have no plans to tie the knot any time soon. “Rocky would get married tomorrow if Rihanna would agree — but she doesn’t see the sense in it!” a source claiming to be close to the couple revealed.

According to reports, “Rihanna knows if they decided to marry, she would need a team of lawyers to work months on a prenup.” The source continued, adding, “Frankly, she doesn’t have the stomach for it.” They went on to report that, “Rocky insists he loves Rihanna unconditionally and isn’t after her money — and she believes him. But she’s no fool when it comes to cash.”

Adin Ross Believes Kanye West Can “Revive” His Career

June 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Adin Ross has been having a rough go of things over the last few months. Overall, much of this stems from the fact that he was banned from Twitch. The popular streamer had been suspended on numerous occasions. However, after his most recent ban, he decided to move over to Kick. This was probably a good move for Ross considering how they are a lot more lax on their terms of service. Moreover, they are owned by Stake, which is a company that Ross has been partnered with in the past.

That being said, Ross has found it hard to get artists to come on his stream. In the past, this has never been much of a problem. However, as of late, no one wants to join his live streams. Recently, his manager told him that this is a direct result of him putting Nazis and other white supremacists on his streams. Additionally, Adin Ross has made some controversial comments himself, which certainly hasn’t helped matters at all. Now, however, Adin believes there is one man who can resurrect his career.

Adin Ross Speaks

A post shared by No Jumper (@nojumper)

As he explains in the clip below courtesy of No Jumper, that man is none other than Kanye West. While talking to his viewers, Ross revealed that he really wants to have Kanye come on the stream. He even pleaded with the legendary artist to do so. Furthermore, he made the claim that Kanye has the potential to “revive” his career and save him from the fall-off. Although, it does feel like what Ross is saying here was at least a little sarcastic.

At this point, it remains to be seen whether or not Kanye has any real interest in a stream with Ross. Kanye has done weirder media before, although for now, he seems keen on chilling out and doing his own thing. Let us know what you think of Ross’ comments, down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from the entertainment world.
