Ludacris Responds To Katt Williams’ Dubious Claims About Him

April 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Right at the start of 2024, Katt Williams set an utterly bizarre tone for the year. That began with his appearance on Club Shay Shay where he spent the entire time making one wild and completely unchecked claim after another. One of those that got the most attention were his claims about Ludacris and the Fast And Furious series. Williams claims he was offered a role in the series but came up with a shocking list of additional factors that played into his potential casting.

Ludacris did respond pretty quickly, both clapping back at some of the claims made against him and calling out Williams. But now he was asked about the comments from the interview during a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club and took a more level-headed approach to his response. First, he claims that he has no idea whether or not Williams was actually offered a role in the franchise. When asked about some of his stranger claims Luda is hardly even sure what to say. He describes the claims as so ridiculous he didn’t even know what Williams was saying and isn’t taking it too seriously because he’s a comedian. Check out the conversation between Charlamagne and Luda below.

Those wondering about casting for the Fast And Furious role that ended up going to Ludacris got another hint from an interview last month. That came when Andre 3000 was doing an interview where he revealed that he also auditioned for the role. Andre ultimately thinks they made the right call. He describes not being “ready” to take on the challenge of acting in the franchise when asked follow-up questions.

Ludacris also made an appearance during Usher’s Super Bowl performance earlier this year. They were also joined by Lil Jon to deliver their classic hit “Yeah! ” What do you think of Ludacris taking a pretty relaxed approach to addressing Katt Williams’ comments about him? Do you think Williams was just trying to make people laugh with his bizarre comments? Let us know in the comment section below.

Candace Owens Raps “The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air” In Cringe-Filled “Breakfast Club” Appearance

March 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Candace Owens tried to “prove her Blackness” by consenting to take a “Black Quiz” while appearing on The Breakfast Club this week. After being asked some softball middle-school civics questions, Owens was asked to rap the theme song to The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Owens happily does so, providing the most cringe-worthy right-wing rap performance since Ben Shapiro. Owens, with her clipped New England pronunciation, sounds a lot like Parks & Rec protagonist Leslie Knope attempting to rap. If there are any positives to take out of this, it’s more ammo to make fun of Owens with. While the full clip has been included below, please be warned that it will ruin your morning.

Of course, Owens is exactly a fan of modern rap music. “I just don’t need to hear about Ice Spice’s farts, I just don’t. I don’t want to hear about it. We used to produce really good music and it’s gone down the drain. I think even that is international. I think it’s because it’s a part of the, ‘Let’s slowly make it modify the education systems so that Black people can’t read and, at the same time, feed them with a pipeline of garbage,’ and you will wake up one day, and what surrounds you will be garbage,” Owens ranted last week while speaking with Joe Budden.

Candace Owens Calls Lizzo “Problematic” And Accuses Her Of Gaslighting

Elsewhere, as part of her interview with Budden, Candace Owens called out Lizzo for gaslighting people. Owens’ issues with Lizzo stem from the response to Lizzo twerking her bare backside at an NBA game. Owens said she had the right to call out Lizzo’s behavior as “problematic”. However, she felt “gaslit” when Lizzo defended herself by saying that it was a “you problem” if you took issue with her behavior.

Of course, Lizzo twerking at an NBA game is the least of her “problematic” behaviors. After all, the singer is currently fighting a fairly nasty sexual harassment lawsuit. Furthermore, Owens is sort of the queen of telling people that their opposing viewpoints are “their problem”.

Nicki Minaj’s Half-Sister Wants A Tell-All Interview On “The Breakfast Club”

March 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Nicki Minaj’s half-sister, Ming Luanli, wants to do a tell-all interview on The Breakfast Club and took to Instagram on Monday to voice her desire to do so. “Everyone wants me to speak,” she wrote. “I’m saving my interview for @breakfastclubam.” In another post on her Instagram Story, she added: “And also one more thing. I won’t be disrespected by anybody cause respect is always earned, and yes I do love my family let that be known too..all of them.”

The move comes as she’s begun her career in the music industry. She dropped her first-ever music video with a feature on Rakeem Love’s track, “Do It Again,” back on March 8. Fans have brought up her relationship to Nicki Minaj numerous times on social media since then. When one user asked about the lack of support from her big sister, Luanli fired back: “Did I ask for it?” She’s also remarked that she will “no longer be known as Nicki Minaj’s little sister.”

Luanli also recently addressed the beef between Nicki and Megan Thee Stallion. In doing so, she refused to take sides in the matter. “Whatever beef that’s going on, I really don’t give a f*ck for it,” Luanli said. “Like that got nothing to do with me. I’m working on my life, my grind … I don’t care about that sh*t, bro, I really don’t give a f*ck for it. I don’t give a f*ck for it. It ain’t helping me with what I need to do with my life.”

Donnell Rawlings & DJ Envy Butt Heads On “The Breakfast Club”

March 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

55-year-old Donnell Rawlings is a man who’s best known for being able to lighten the mood in virtually any room. Lately, however, the comedian’s been building a reputation for having a sharp tongue that lashes out at his critics – or anyone who tries to interrupt him, as DJ Envy learned on The Breakfast Club today (March 7). At one point on the show, Rawlings was chatting with co-host Jess Hilarious when he suddenly called out her colleague for breaking up their discussion about the tough competition in the world of comedy.

“I’m not talking to you, Envy. I’m talking to a comedian,” the father of one curtly said. “Do you want to do comedy? You can start like we did, you can do open mics. I know you have a platform and you think you can do anything,” Rawlings further lashed out at the media personality. Before long, the guest also referenced Envy’s infamous 2023 alleged real estate scam, making him feel even worse about the messy situation. “Do we interrupt car show promotions like this?” Rawlings asked.

“Imagine me interfering when you talking about one of your punk-ass car shows. We don’t do seminars for houses anymore. I’m so glad that time is over,” the legendary entertain continued to berate Envy. Keeping things light, Charlamagne Tha God chimed in with a joke – “He doesn’t do open mics, he does open houses.” In response, Rawlings laughed, “Them houses is closed like s**t right now” around the 11:40 mark below.

Full Interview from The Breakfast Club

DJ Envy and Donnell Rawling’s tense altercation went down early on in the interview, so thankfully they were able to move past it and get on to a much better discussion that still kept listeners laughing.

Dee-1 Claims His Onstage “Passion” Reminded Afeni Shakur Of 2Pac

March 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s no secret that Dee-1’s controversial comments don’t always sit right with the hip-hop community. According to him, however, his rapping skills put him up there with the best of them. During a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club, the Christian artist opened up about a run-in he claims to have had with 2Pac’s mother Afeni Shakur at a school talent show. He says the late activist’s encouragement filled him with enough confidence to move forward with his career, despite not having placed in the competition.

“The first time I did a show it was a talent show at LSU, and Ms. Afeni Shakur was at my school,” Dee-1 began. “I didn’t didn’t win first place, second place, or third place in that talent show. But when I got offstage, she was like, ‘Young brother, your passion on that microphone when I see you perform reminds me of my son.’”

Dee-1 Recalls His First Talent Show

He continued, revealing how Afeni’s praise made him believe that his talents weren’t going to waste. “When she told me that, I was like, ‘oh, I got something special,’” Dee-1 recalled. “Even if people not recognizing it in the moment, I got something special. 2Pac’s momma just told me that, you feel me? At that point I was like, ‘Alright, I know if I use this for the purpose it was designed for, it could be life-changing.‘”

While Afeni’s compliment encouraged Dee-1 to pursue his dreams, the performer encountered some serious obstacles down the road. Elsewhere in his interview, he revealed that his 2014 BET Cypher put him up against suicidal thoughts. “It started messing with me mentally to where I was like, ‘Damn, I kinda don’t even wanna be here no more,” he shared. Luckily, he says his faith combined with therapy put him back on the right track. What do you think of Dee-1 claiming that the late Afeni Shakur once compared him to 2Pac? Are you surprised? Do you see their similarities? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Dee-1 Reflects On Having Suicidal Thoughts After BET Cypher

March 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Dee-1 says he dealt with suicidal thoughts after his performance in the BET Cypher back in 2014. He explained on The Breakfast Club, Friday, that he was unsure he’d ever get another opportunity to showcase his skills.

“Right after that BET Cypher I started going to therapy, bro,” he shared. “I was signed to RCA at the time. You on the BET Cypher and you think your life about to change after this night…Nothing changed after that night. After that, I felt like I blew my shot. It started messing with me mentally to where I was like, ‘Damn, I kinda don’t even wanna be here no more. Not in the industry, but on this Earth…When I started realizing I was having suicidal thoughts behind feeling like I’m professionally a failure, I realized I couldn’t separate David from Dee-1 at that point. And that was unhealthy.”

Dee-1 Attends Essence Festival Of Culture

He continued: “And for the first time in my life, I went to therapy. Because I was like, talking to my friends, that ain’t getting it at this point. Talking to my grandma, rest in peace, that ain’t cutting it at this point. So therapy really did help me, but ultimately even more than therapy was understanding my God given purpose. I know who my creator is, I know why I was put here, and I was put here to glorify him. So who am I to think that my whole life is a failure because one moment didn’t elevate me professionally?” Check out his full conversation on The Breakfast Club below.

Dee-1 Recalls BET Cypher

Elsewhere in the interview, he discussed his new album, his time in college, and more. Be on the lookout for further updates on Dee-1 on HotNewHipHop.

Charlamagne Tha God Denies DJ Akademiks Diss Allegations: Watch

February 28, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Charlamagne Tha God has been a force in radio far longer than many realize, which is precisely why he’s so confident sharing his opinions on others and demanding his flowers. Earlier this week, a resurfaced snippet from an episode of Brilliant Idiots caused some debate online as the media personality referred to others occupying the same spaces in the years after his come-up as his “sons.” Specifically, the internet believes Tha God is referring to DJ Akademiks, host of the Off the Record podcast and known for beefing with femcees publicly.

“How did y’all come to the conclusion I was talking about Akademiks, though?” the South Carolina native asked co-hosts Jess Hilarious and DJ Envy on The Breakfast Club yesterday (February 27). “Well, last year [he] publicly called out you, Wallo, and Gillie and said that y’all are avoiding his podcast, acting brand new or whatever,” the show’s newest addition argued. “That was a year ago,” Charlamagne shot back, clearly not holding onto the past. “Let’s just face it, and say what it is,” Hilarious replied before dissing Ak and his “smell a** basement.”

Charlamagne Tha God Says “Sons” Comment Not Aimed at Akademiks

Rather than feed into the pettiness, the father of four told his pregnant co-host to “cut it out.” Defending himself, Tha God added, “I was just talking. Like, when Nicki Minaj says, ‘All these b**ches is my sons,’ do we say she’s talking to one person?” He might not have satisfied Hilarious and Envy with his answer, but Charlamagne sure did have listeners laughing.

Elsewhere in the news, DJ Akademiks has once again found himself at war with Yung Miami online. According to the controversial podcaster, the City Girl is to blame for Diddy’s bombshell lawsuit from Cassie, not to mention all the chaos that’s ensued in the time since. Read what Ak had to say at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

French Montana On Nipsey Hussle’s Murder: “One Of The Most Disgusting Things I’ve Ever Seen”

February 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

French Montana reflected on the killing of Nipsey Hussle during his latest appearance on The Breakfast Club, Friday. He says that watching the rapper get murdered while trying to help his community and launching a clothing store scared him away from doing the same.

“I feel like watching that video with Nip was one of the most disgusting things I’ve ever seen in my life,” he said. “All he was trying to do was just try to change his neighborhood and just bring some great things back and try to buy his block. I feel like watching that scared me away from trying to do the same thing.”

From there, he discussed the late Coke Boys rapper, Chinx. Montana continued: “Look what happened to Chinx. Chinx got shot in Queens. Look what happened to a lot of people that don’t have a name, a lot of fallen soldiers. So why come back and do that?” Hussle died in the parking lot of his store, Marathon Clothing, in 2019 at the age of 33. He was shot 10 times and kicked in the head. The Los Angeles Police Department arrested then-29-year-old Eric Ronald Holder Jr. for the attack. He was later sentenced to 60 years in prison. Check out Montana’s full appearance on The Breakfast Club below.

French Montana Speaks With “The Breakfast Club”

The interview comes after Montana dropped his new album, Mac & Cheese 5. The 21-song project features collaborations with Kanye West, Lil Baby, Rick Ross, JID, and many more artists. In a separate interview with TMZ on the same day, Montana explained why one version of the project features a tracklist comprising 126 songs. That version features the original songs as well as, explicit, clean, sped-up, slowed-down, and more different copies. Be on the lookout for further updates on French Montana on HotNewHipHop.

Gillie Da Kid Trades Shots With Jess Hilarious, Proves He Can Cook Breezy On The Court

February 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Gillie Da Kid called out Jess Hilarious after The Breakfast Club host said Chris Brown was a better basketball player than him.“sumbody tell @jesshilarious_official stop hatin,” Gillie captioned an Instagram post of him cooking Brown in a shooting contest. Hilarious is yet to respond back to Gillie.

The debate comes out of the news that Gillie was also uninvited from the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game. “The celebrity game would get more views than the All-Star Game but they won’t put me in there. Our assistant was talking to people from the league. I was told that I was playing in the game and I was going to be mic’d up. The m-thafucking list came out with the players and I wasn’t on it,” Gillie told the All The Smoke podcast.

Million Dollaz Worth Of Game A Media Outlet And Not “Just A Podcast,” Gillie Da Kid Argues

A post shared by KING GILLIE (@gilliedaking)

However, Gillie is no stranger to speaking on disrespect. He recently hit back at Million Dollaz Worth Of Game being put on lists of Best Black Podcasts. “I never seen the top white podcasts of 2023. I never seen that pop up, because they could just live in they own space. They ain’t in no competition with each other,” Gillie Da Kid said. However, he was also irked by the fact that it was even being called a podcast at all. “[W]e not no f-cking podcast, let’s get that right. We one of the biggest media outlets in the f-cking world,” Gillie added.

He also rankled at even having the podcast compared to others. “Can you tell me another podcast that do Gillie and Wallo K.O. parties where you sit 3,000 n-ggas in a arena and do 37,000 pay-per-view buys to see some n-ggas from the streets fight? Do another podcast out there got the fastest-growing fucking energy drink in the world — not in the United States, in the world? So we not no mothaf-ckin’ podcast,” Gillie added.

Usher Addresses Backlash To Alicia Keys Embrace During Super Bowl Halftime Show

February 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Usher says there was no ill intent behind his embrace of Alicia Keys at the Super Bowl Halftime Show. Speaking with The Breakfast Club, he explained that he, Keys, and Swizz Beatz are all on good terms about the situation. Usher faced backlash online after the show for the way he held onto the iconic singer after performing “My Boo.”

“In no way is there anything that was done there that should have been viewed as bad or in any way perverted or anything like that,” Usher said. “No, it was literally about having fun because of a song that me and Alicia made many years ago and we celebrated it because of the legacy of it. No disrespect to anybody or anything like that.”
