SZA Is Not Bothered Losing AOTY Award At Grammys: “Only Way From Up Is Higher”

February 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

SZA had another solid outing at the Grammys this past weekend, taking home three awards. The Missouri-born R&B superstar won Best R&B Song for “Snooze,” and Best Urban Contemporary Album for SOS. Additionally, SZA would snag the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance category for “Ghosts in the Machine” with Phoebe Bridgers. However, there is one trophy that every artist wants to add to their collection. That would be the Album Of The Year. SZA was going up against some stiff competition. Lana Del Rey, Olivia Rodrigo, Miley Cyrus, and of course Taylor Swift.

Expectedly, Taylor and her Swifties were able to celebrate another win as she took home the honors. While it might be a little disappointing for SZA, she is moving on from it. In fact, she has no ill will toward the Recording Academy or anyone else. TMZ even said that SZA and Taylor were chopping it up and enjoying each other’s company at the award show.

Lady Leshurr Found Not Guilty For Attacking Ex, Is Relieved But Fears Her Career Is Over

November 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Just a couple of weeks ago, UK rapper Lady Leshurr was recently accused by her ex. The reason she was in court was because of Sidnee Hussein, and her then-partner, Chante Boyea. This happened around the same time last year, on October 22, 2022. According to HipHopDX, the altercation went down when Leshurr reportedly bit her ex’s girlfriend on the hand after she stopped in her car. Then when Leshurr’s ex came out of the house to break it up, the rapper reportedly attacked her as well.

There was a chance that the two accusers were lying. The prosecutor claimed the defendants did so with the police. In addition to that, their account did not really explain the injuries. Well, we now have confirmation that Leshurr is a free woman after a year-long battle. She addressed her situation in a recent Instagram post. Leshurr was extremely grateful for it to be over. However, even with that, she believes her career is over for good.

A post shared by Lady Leshurr (@imladyleshurr)

“For the past year I’ve been battling a court case from people that accused me of stalking, harassing, and biting them but I was the victim. I was attacked and bitten by a dog and made out to be the aggressor. For a whole year people have deserted me, dropped me from deals, and didn’t want to work with me anymore. For a whole year I have had no income. For a whole year I’ve had to be silent and let articles and the media slander and defame my character. Today has been judgment day. I’m shaking whilst I write this. My brand/career has been ruined regardless no matter the outcome, but at least I have a clean record and can FINALLY get on with my life.”

What are your initial thoughts on Lady Leshurr being not guilty of attacking her ex? Do you agree with her that her career is still over? Does her message rub you the right way? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.
