Bobbi Althoff Reveals She Attempted Suicide At Age 14

August 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that Bobbi Althoff has come a long way since The Really Good Podcast blew up. The internet personality has sat down with some major celebrities for interviews, like Shaq, YG, Jimmy Kimmel, and many more. Of course, her viral conversation with Drake is what kicked things off, and she hasn’t slowed down since.

Most recently, she chatted with NLE Choppa, and things got a lot more serious than one might expect. The 21-year-old performer is known for his raunchy lyrics and wild antics, but evidently, he’s also able to get deep when the situation calls for it. At one point in their discussion, Althoff revealed that she once attempted suicide when she was only 14 years old, prompting him to talk about some of his own past issues.

“I tried to kill myself when I was 14,” she shared. NLE Choppa then revealed that he too has struggled with his mental health in the past. “I didn’t really give a f*ck about life at 14,” he said. “I think both is valid… I’m so glad you didn’t do that because look at you now.” Luckily, it appears as though Althoff is in a much better place these days, despite whatever obstacles might be thrown her way.

Since her rise to fame, for example, she’s been subject to nasty and unsubstantiated rumors that she sleeps with her podcast guests. She promptly shut these down last month, however, also addressing ongoing speculation about her divorce and family life. What do you think of Bobbi Althoff opening up about her struggles with mental health during a recent conversation with NLE Choppa? What about him sharing his own past issues?

50 Cent Addresses Former Beam Suntory Employee’s Alleged Suicide Threat

July 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

50 Cent has been wrapped up in a heated legal battle with Beam Suntory for a while now. Recently, it was reported that ex-employee Michael Caruso threatened to take his own life to avoid facing legal consequences for his alleged crimes. Fif accuses him and other former employees of taking part in an embezzlement scheme. Allegedly, one of the defendants previously decided that wanted to admit his guilt. This then prompted him to phone up his fellow ex-employees to share his plan. In response, Caruso reportedly began to cry and threatened to commit suicide if Green went through with it.

50 Cent took to Instagram earlier today to respond to the alleged threat, sharing a screenshot of AllHipHop‘s report. “Go read this article on @allhiphopcom beam Suntory change their name to @suntoryglobalspirits it is a 3.2 billion a year company, and they are doing this kinda sh*t,” he captioned the post. “The government needs to step in a regulate the spirits business. Black owned companies can not make it, if they don’t have the 70 million I had to put into the business.”

Reportedly, Caruso’s threat took place before he and the others were formally sued. Since then, he’s countersued the mogul, alleging that he was cut out of a deal with Fif’s Sire Spirits without getting the compensation or ownership stake that he was promised. 50 Cent later took to social media to call him a “snitch” for an unrelated case.

What do you think of one of the former Beam Suntory employees 50 Cent accuses of embezzlement allegedly threatening to commit suicide? What about 50 Cent’s reaction? Do you agree that the government should step in to regulate the spirits industry? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

50 Cent’s Spirits Lawsuit Leads To Suicide Threat From Alleged Scammer

June 30, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Michael Caruso, one of several people 50 Cent is suing in an alleged embezzlement scheme regarding Beam Suntory, reportedly threatened to commit suicide rather than deal with the legal fallout from the case. According to AllHipHop, the problems began when one of the other defendants, Julious Grant, allegedly tried to extort Caruso. “Money [Michael Caruso’s nickname]…you and your partner have been getting fat at my expense…This is how I want this to work you guys by months end will pay me 600k. I’ll consider this a walk away severance… If you chose not to do so I will… let Fif know the reason he was paying such high margarine [sic]…You and your partner do t [sic] want that kind of smoke from Fif,” Grant reportedly wrote to Caruso in a text message.

Another defendant, Mitchell Green, then decided to admit to wrongdoing and phoned up Caruso and others to reveal the plan. In turn, Caruso allegedly began crying and threatened to commit suicide if Green went through with it.

50 Cent and Sire Spirits are suing for at least $6 million total in damages. He’s working with renowned civil rights attorney Ben Crump on the case and recently traveled to Washington D.C. to discuss the situation with congressional leaders. “Suntory Global Spirits is a $20 billion a year company, when they don’t follow compliance they just pay a fine. Would you mind paying a fine, when you make $20 billion a year. I gotta fight them can’t just let them beat me out of my money,” 50 Cent said at the time.

Regina King Opens Up About Her Son’s Suicide

March 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Regina King has said she has come to terms with her son’s 2022 suicide. “I respect and understand that he didn’t want to be here anymore. And that’s a hard thing for other people to receive, because they did not live our experience, did not live Ian’s journey,” King told Good Morning America. However, she also noted that his death would always be with her. “I know that I share this grief with everyone, but no one else is Ian’s mom. Only me. And so it’s mine, and the sadness will never go away. It’ll always be with me. And I think I saw somewhere, ‘The sadness is a reminder of how much he means to me,’ you know? Happy sorrow.”

King’s son, Ian, killed himself in 2022. He had struggled with depression for many years. “Of all the things that we had gone through with therapy, psychiatrists, and programs, and Ian was like, ‘I’m tired of talking, Mom,’” King reflected. The interview, which is King’s first major discussion of Ian’s death, has been met with an outpouring of love from fans.

John Wall Reveals What Stopped Him Taking His Own Life

Elsewhere, John Wall has revealed that he “put a gun to his head” on two separate occasions while battling depression. However, the former NBA star revealed that it was the thought of his two sons that prevented him from pulling the trigger. Wall told the story in order to highlight the seriousness of mental health struggles and to encourage anyone going through the same thing to seek help.

Wall was a mainstay of the Wizards for a decade after the team drafted him first overall in 2010. However, the Wizards being the Wizards, the team never succeeded in building a team around Wall despite his star power. The team made four postseason trips in ten years despite Wall blossoming into a five-time All-Star. Wall was dealt to Houston for Russell Westbrook. However, Wall has been out of the NBA since the 2023 offseason.

Young Thug Suicide Vest Theory Disproved After Rapper’s Court Appearance

January 4, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Young Thug and YSL’s RICO trial is back underway following a break after someone stabbed a codefendant. Moreover, folks are buzzing around the rumor mill right now based on his appearance during a recent hearing that elicited concern from many online. For those unaware, Thugger appeared to wear a wire of sorts during the court session on Tuesday (January 2), which many assumed could be an electrical shock device or a suicide vest. This caused many to call his mental health to attention, although it seems like fans expressed worry over something relatively harmless. Furthermore, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution‘s Jozesef Papp took to Twitter the following day (Wednesday, January 3) to clarify the situation.

“Confirmed that Young Thug was wearing a heating pad under his sweater,” Papp tweeted. “The courtroom doesn’t feel that cold today but I wonder if it was yesterday. #YSL.” In fact, it’s actually a bit ironic that people started to make a fuss over what he wore to his trial proceedings. For example, the Atlanta trap pioneer recently plugged an in-progress apparel brand on social media while still behind bars. As such, we wonder what other moves he’s making outside of his legal trouble, and whether he’ll rep a piece or two in court.

Elsewhere, other rap figures like Ralo are chiming in on this YSL trial. “Young Thug [trial] weak as f**k,” he expressed on social media. “I can’t even believe they giving Jeff ah hard time like that for them weak a** charges. They might [as] well just let him go. I feel like they just trying blame him for s**t n***as around him was doing. That s**t l*me!!! Man ain’t no way Shawty just got on that stand against his childhood friend. I rather die ah thousand deaths before I do some s**t like that.”

Meanwhile, another rapper to give his take– and a fellow Atlanta native– was JID, who expressed frustration with the prosecution’s poorly organized case. Of course, he wants to see Jeffery as free as anyone else, but everything has to be fair. So far, we can’t confidently say that the YSL trial has been that so far, something that the prosecution hopefully fixes moving forward.

Jonathan Majors Threatens Suicide, Seemingly Admits To Physical Abuse In Texts To His Ex

December 8, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Text messages between Jonathan Majors and Grace Jabbari were read aloud in court during his assault trial today, in which he references a violent incident that allegedly took place in 2022. In the messages, they discuss an injury Majors seemingly admits to inflicting on her during an argument. He appears to encourage her not to seek medical attention for it, suggesting that a doctor visit could expose his allegedly violent behavior.

“I fear you have no perspective of what could happen if you go to the hospital,” Majors texted Jabbari. “They will ask you questions, and as I don’t think you actually protect us, it could lead to investigation even if you do lie, and they suspect something.” She responded, insisting that she won’t reveal how she actually sustained the injury. “I will tell the doctor I bumped my head if I go. I’m going to give it one more day, but I can’t sleep and I need some stronger pain killers. That’s all: why would I tell them what really happened when it’s clear I want to be with you.”

In subsequent messages, Majors threatened suicide if Jabbari decided to go to the hospital for treatment. “Last night I considered killing myself versus coming home,” Majors wrote. “I need love too. Or maybe I’m such a monster and horrible man, I don’t deserve it. And I should just kill myself. In this way, my existence is miserable, I want to die.” He continued, suggesting that his decision was final. “I will probably kill myself, it’s not really contemplating anymore,” he texted. “I’m a monster, a horrible man, not capable of love. I’m killing myself soon.”

Jabbari responded, telling him that if he continued to make suicide threats, she would have to let someone know.

Alabama Mayor Dies By Suicide After Cross-Dressing Photos

November 5, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Smiths Station, Alabama Mayor F.L. “Bubba” Copeland died by suicide on Friday after a conservative blog, 1819 News, published photos of him wearing women’s clothing as a “hobby.” In alternate social media accounts, Copeland used the name Brittini Blaire Summerlin and referred to himself as a “Transitioning Transgender Curvy Girl.” In doing so, he used both Reddit and a private Instagram page.

Police performed a welfare check on Copeland, Friday, during which the Mayor, who also serves as a pastor at First Baptist Church, stepped out of his car and shot himself. The church addressed his death in a statement on Saturday. “Thank you all for your prayers and expressions of sympathy and support. First and foremost, we ask that you keep Pastor Bubba Copeland’s family in your prayers today, and in the days ahead,” the statement reads. “We greatly appreciate your messages, comments, and encouragement. Please continue to pray for us as we move forward in sharing God’s love too all people.”

Bubba Copeland Meets With Donald Trump

Copeland addressed the scandal during a sermon earlier in the week. He labeled the story an “internet attack” and explained he had taken pictures with his wife “in the privacy of our home,” and he apologized for “any embarrassment” he caused by his “private and personal life.” In a statement provided to 1819 News in response to the website’s story. Copeland said: “What I do in private life has nothing to do with what I do in my holy life. Does this have any effect on me being mayor, that I sometimes put on a dress or sometimes put on makeup? Does that have anything to do whatsoever with me being mayor or being a pastor?”

The 1819 News post was published by Craig Monger, who defended his reporting in response to initial backlash on Twitter. “‘Digging up someone’s personal life’ is reporting on what someone posts publicly on social media? Interesting take. The Alabama Baptist reported on the church’s live stream. I actually spoke to the mayor,” he wrote in response to a critic. He has not posted since Copeland’s suicide.

Gisele Bundchen Recalls Having Suicidal Thoughts From Stress Of Her Modeling Career

September 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Gisele Bundchen says that she contemplated suicide amid the most stressful moments of her modeling career. Reflecting on the mental health struggles she’s dealt with during an upcoming appearance on CBS News Sunday Morning, Bundchen admitted she considered jumping from her ninth-floor apartment window.

“You know, I was in tunnels,” she told journalist Lee Cowan. “I couldn’t breathe. And then I started being in studios, and I felt, like, suffocated.” From there, she recalled living on the ninth floor of a building at the time and taking the stairs because she was afraid of the elevator. “I’d be hyperventilating. … You know when you can’t breathe even when the windows are open, you feel like, I don’t want to live like this, you know what I mean?” When asked whether she was being serious about contemplating jumping, she responded: “Yeah. For, like, a second.”

It’s not the first time Bundchen has admitted to having suicidal thoughts. She also addressed the struggle ahead of the release of her memoir, Lessons: My Path to a Meaningful Life, in 2018. “I actually had the feeling of, ‘If I just jump off my roof, this is going to end, and I never have to worry about this feeling of my world closing in,’” she told PEOPLE at the time.

Angus Cloud’s Mom Shuts Down Suicide Speculation, Believes Possible Overdose Was An Accident

August 5, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The world has felt noticeably more gloomy since 25-year-old Angus Cloud unexpectedly made his departure earlier this week. Euphoria fans were shocked to hear the news, which came along with an update that the young entertainer’s death came shortly after he buried his own father. As TMZ reports, Conor Hickey had stage four cancer in his lungs and heart at the time of his death, with the fluid buildup around his lungs marking his ultimate downfall. Cloud and his dad were incredibly close, and his sudden passing left Angus grief-stricken.

Despite how sad he was, though, the redhead’s mother, Lisa Cloud, doesn’t believe his death was intentional. “Friends, I want you all to know I appreciate your love for my family at this shattered time. I also want you to know that although my son was in deep grief about his father’s untimely death from mesothelioma, his last day was a joyful one,” she wrote via Facebook. Elsewhere, Angus’ mom noted that he was making himself at home by reorganizing his room and moving different items around the house. He had also talked about wanting to help family members through college with his money, which is a large indicator of not being suicidal to Lisa.

RIP Angus Cloud

“I don’t know if or what he may have put in his body after that. I only know that he put his head on the desk where he was working on art projects, fell asleep and didn’t wake up. We may find out that he overdosed accidentally and tragically, but it’s abundantly clear that he did not intend to check out of this world,” her message continued. “Social media posts have suggested his death was intentional. I want you to know that is not the case. To honor his memory, please make random acts of kindness part of your daily life.”

News of Angus’ death is certainly tragic, but it also only reminded the world how impactful his soul was. Friends like Drake and Chloe Bailey shared tributes to the late actor, and his Euphoria co-stars have had nothing but fond memories to share when reflecting on his unfortunately short life. Read some of the heartfelt words dedicated to Cloud at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates. RIP.

Johnny Manziel Reveals He Nearly Took His Own Life After NFL Exit

August 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Johnny Manziel was once considered the future of the NFL. The Heisman Trophy winner in 2012, Manziel was the second quarterback off the board in 2014, being drafted by the Browns 22nd overall. However, Manziel never lived up to the hype generated by his college career. He appeared in just 15 games over 2014 and 2015, starting eight. Mustering a 2-6 record across his eight starts, he threw for 1675 yards, throwing seven touchdowns and seven interceptions.

Manziel also had a string of off-field issues, including going to rehab during the 2015 offseason and being benched for partying during the 2015 season. These issues, plus his underwhelming on-field play, led the Browns to cut him ahead of the 2016 season. The team drafted Cody Kessler in the third round of that year’s draft. That led to a very dark period in Manziel’s life.

Manziel Contemplated Suicide

Next week, Netflix will release Untold: Johnny Football, the latest episode of their long-running Untold series. “I think I was just running from problems,” Manziel said of his suicide plans. “It was probably a $5 million bender. Direct self-sabotage, trying to burn this thing down.” Manziel had an elaborate plan to blow all his money and then end it all. “I had planned to do everything that I wanted to do at that point in my life. Spend as much money as I possibly could and then my plan was to take my life. Months prior, I went and bought a gun I knew I was going to use. I wanted to get as bad as humanly possible to where it made sense and it made it seem like an excuse and an out for me.”

Manziel is in a much better place now. Earlier this week, he announced that he was going to return to his alma mater of Texas A&M. There, he will open a new sports bar called “Johnny Manziel’s Money Bar” and will reportedly open in time for the start of the 2023 season. Untold: Johnny Football drops on August 8 on Netflix. It is the second episode of the third season.
