Stephen A Smith Reveals If He’d Ever Consider Running For President

November 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

During his recent appearance on The View, Stephen A Smith discussed the results of the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election and made an interesting revelation about his own potential future in politics. The personality was asked whether or not he’d ever consider running for president, and while he admits he’s not exactly qualified, he said he might consider it under the right conditions.

“If you came to me and you told me I had a legitimate shot to win the presidency of the United States of America, I would definitely consider it,” he explained. “But I would be independent because I don’t like either side and I’m not gonna be bought and paid for. I’m gonna do what’s in the best interest of the American people, whatever that may be.”

Stephen A Smith Claims He’d “Definitely” Consider Running For President If He Had A “Legitimate Shot To Win”

Smith may be open to considering running for president, but he also pointed out that he’s happy with his life the way it is, and truly has “no desire to be a Congressional figure.” As for his take on the results of the election, he couldn’t help but praise Donald Trump for pulling out a win despite the circumstances. “Donald Trump’s return to the White House is the greatest comeback probably in American history,” he said on his show yesterday. “Thirty-four felony counts, two impeachments — I can’t count the number of mistakes that he has made. When he departed in 2020 after the insurrection at the United States capital, we all thought he was finished, he was done.”

Earlier this year, Smith even expressed interest in debating Trump, insisting that he’d have it in the bag. “I would love to be in a presidential debate,” he told Howard Stern in January. “I’d eat him alive. I wouldn’t run for the presidency, but I’d debate Trump any day of the week. Any day of the week. Name the time and place and I’d show up.” What do you think of Stephen A Smith claiming he’d consider running for president of the United States? Do you think he should or not?

Charlamagne Tha God On Diddy’s Allegations: “The Issue Is Patriarchy”

May 22, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Charlamagne Tha God discussed the series of allegations Diddy is facing as well as the new video of him abusing Cassie in 2016 during an appearance on The View on Wednesday. Promoting his new book, Get Honest or Die Lying, Charlamagne discussed the role the patriarchy plays in enabling domestic violence to take place.

“The issue is domestic violence. The issue is exactly what I said about men not going to do the proper work on themselves and they’re dealing with a lot of pain and a lot of hurt and a lot of unhealed trauma,” he said. “And they’re projecting that pain and that hurt onto other people. The issue is patriarchy, right. As long as you have a system where men feel superior to women and they’re dealing with that pain and they’re dealing with that hurt, we’re going to continue to project that onto our women.”

Charlamagne continued: “But right now as I’m talking, there’s a woman out there getting beat up by a man and she’s not going to get [any] news coverage. Nobody’s going to talk about her.” CNN was the first to publish the footage of Diddy attacking Cassie. The Bad Boy mogul apologized for the incident in the following days with a video on social media. He explained that he began going to therapy afterward and is working on bettering himself. “I went and I sought out professional help, I got into going to therapy, going to rehab. I had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I’m so sorry,” he said in part.

Whoopi Goldberg Admits 40-Year Age Gap Between Her & Recent Boyfriend

March 9, 2024 by newhiphopnews

During an episode of The View aired Thursday (March 7), Whoopi Goldberg and her co-hosts discussed the new film The Idea of You before spilling some major tea. Starring Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galatzine, it follows a woman dating a pop superstar much younger than her, which made Whoopi reflect on her thoughts on age gaps. “I’ve gone up and down,” she remarked. “Because your age is not what’s going to get me into your arms. It’s not your age that I’m concerned about. Unless you’re under 18, in which case I can’t.” When co-host Joy Behar said a big age gap “could be problematic,” the 68-year-old replied with a shocking revelation.

“One of the last relationships I had, he was 40 years older than me,” Whoopi Goldberg told her bewildered co-hosts. What’s more is that we technically already knew this about the Raven-Symoné admirer back when they were just rumors that her granddaughter spread. “She had a boyfriend that was, like, 90 years old, and she used to go hang out with him,” Amara Skye said of Whoopi on an ABC game show. “Some old white man named John, and he was like a billionaire. She used to sneak off and have [sex] appointments, randomly.”

“No one knew about that,” Skye told USA Today, expressing regret over telling Whoopi Goldberg’s story for her. “I barely found out about that. So I was just like, ‘Oh, man. I think I just put my grandma’s business out there, and I don’t really know if she’s going to be OK with this.’ But my grandma’s really, really cool and pretty open. So, I don’t think I did so bad.” After all, it’s not the most controversial thing that she’s been associated with in past years, as much as she’s moved on from that.

Meanwhile, the New York City native said last year that she didn’t love any of her husbands. As such, people have a lot of scandalous stuff to scour through when it comes to this love life. But the most important part about it is that she’s free and happy, and no one can tell her any different. For more news and updates on Whoopi Goldberg, stay posted on HNHH.

Killer Mike Clashes With “The View” Host Over Brian Kemp Support

February 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Killer Mike has a surprising and particularly notable start to his February. He took home a sweep of the rap Grammys this year winning Best Rap Album for his project Michael. He also took home Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance for his track “SCIENTISTS & ENGINEERS” with Future, Andre 3000, and Erin Allen Kane. But as soon as fans online were processing those wins, videos of Mike being escorted out of the ceremony in handcuffs began making the rounds online. It took days for the details of the situation to eventually fully unravel.

When Mike did eventually sit down to discuss the night’s events he did so in a surprising place. He sat down with the panel on The View to discuss his night at the Grammys and his own political activism. When addressing his Grammys arrest he chose to valorize the night. He called out many of his political heroes who have also been arrested in the past. But during the next segment, he dug into politics where he found himself going back and forth with one of the show’s hosts Sunny Hostin. That came from a surprising comment Mike made giving the Republican Governor of Georgia Brian Kemp credit for his impact on business. Check out the full clip of his interview below.

Killer Mike Debating Sunny Hostin On “The View”

After his comments about Kemp, Hostin responds saying that he lost her when he supported Brian Kemp. Mike replies trying to add context to the claim. “Not support of Kemp, that’s misinformation, you can not like me but don’t lie on me. He’s the governor of my state so I have to be involved with him because I can’t divorce myself,” Mike explained.

“But let me say this, if you criticize someone don’t lie. Don’t say I didn’t support Abrams, because I did. Don’t say that I don’t support Democrats because I helped get three Democratic mayors elected,” Killer Mike elaborated. What do you think of Killer Mike defending his own positive comments about Brian Kemp? Let us know in the comment section below.

Killer Mike Doesn’t Seem To Mind Getting Handcuffed At The Grammys: ‘All Of My Heroes Have Been In Handcuffs’

February 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The 2024 Grammys turned out to be a big night for rap Killer Mike. In addition to winning all three awards for which he was nominated — to the dismay of Gen Z streamers who missed out on the greatness of “A.D.I.D.A.S.” in 2003 — he was unfortunately handcuffed and detained for several hours on a misdemeanor battery charge before being released to finally celebrate his wins.

Appearing on The View on Monday (February 12), Mike explained what happened that led to his arrest and how he felt about it. According to Mike, ““Backstage was overcrowded, the winners were exuberant, and I think security got a little overzealous.” This is what led to his confrontation with a security guard, who was knocked over in the confusion.

Comparing himself to some of his Civil Rights Movement inspirations, he said, “All of my heroes have been in handcuffs: Malcolm [X], Martin [Luther King Jr.], [Nelson] Mandela, Medgar [Evers, an activist who was the NAACP’s first field secretary in Mississippi and was assassinated by white supremacists for his liberation work]. I walked out with the same dignity and respect that I walked in with, and I would implore people to just take that from it.”

However, he did feel there was one “dope” aspect to the situation. “I walked out to my wife in the rain,” he said. “It was like a romance movie. It was dope.”

Check out Killer Mike’s interview below:

‘The View’s Joy Behar Feels ‘Sorry’ For The Men Hating On Taylor Swift: ‘They Need Some Help’

January 31, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In an odd twist for The View, co-host Joy Behar took a moment to express her sympathy for the predominantly right-wing horde of men who have been frothing at the mouth over Taylor Swift attending NFL games and, presumably, the upcoming Super Bowl.

Swift has been dating Kansas City Chiefs player Travis Kelce, and with his team now headed to the big game, conservatives have latched onto a wild conspiracy theory that the CIA orchestrated the Chiefs’ AFC victory so Swift can endorse Biden during the massive sporting event. It’s all pretty nuts, and Behar feels “sorry” for the men who are launching these hare-brained attacks.

“I do! No, I’m not making a joke,” Behar said. “I feel for them because things have not gone their way. There are fewer jobs for them, a lot of these guys … college enrollment for men [is] down. They were up 60%, now it’s 41%. Women are moving ahead like crazy.”

— The View (@TheView) January 31, 2024

To be clear, Behar qualified her remarks by saying these men should try working harder and seek out therapy. Via Decider:

“Look, as a woman comedian, I felt like it was harder for me,” but she added, “I didn’t say, ‘Oh, I resent that the men can do it better or that they get a better audience.’ I tried to work harder.”

Behar then suggested “these guys” try out therapy.

“Go get a shrink!” she exclaimed. “I mean, they don’t consider it masculine to be in therapy. It is not about masculine, feminine. It’s about your brain. They need some help, and that’s why I feel sorry for them.”

Despite being sympathetic to their plight, Behar made a point to highlight the severity of the situation.

“These kind of guys can be dangerous,” she said. “They have guns, a lot of them. I feel sorry — at the same time, I’m worried.”

Travis Kelce’s “Red Flags” Scrutinized On “The View”

November 22, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The hosts of The View recently debated what they believed Travis Kelce was “hiding” about his relationship with Taylor Swift. “Some of the things he said raised some red flags for me. He said, ‘The biggest thing to me: Make sure I don’t say anything that would push Taylor away.’ What is he hiding then? For me, I want to know the good, the bad and the ugly up-front,” Sunny Hostin said of Kelce’s recent interview with the Wall Street Journal. Meanwhile, Sara Haines said she was concerned that Kelce admitting to “thinking constantly about retirement”.

However, Joy Behar came to Kelce’s defense. She dismissed any notion that Kelce was looking to leave football to “live off” Swift. While Haines tried to argue that wasn’t what she meant, she didn’t make it clear why Kelce leaving football was a “red flag”. Kelce is 34 and has been playing in the NFL for a decade. For context, the average age of retirement in the NFL is 27.8. Kelce’s current contract, which pays him over $57 million, expires after the 2025 season. Furthermore, both Kelce brothers have begun to public eye a life away from football.

Joy Behar About Turns On Kelce

However, Behar’s defense of Kelce is surprising given her previous comments about him. Last week, Behar labeled Travis Kelce “illiterate” while discussing tweets that Kelce made in 2010 and has recently deleted. Furthermore, Behar called Kelce’s tweets an “obsession” with girls. Many of the now-deleted posts expressed a visceral disdain for fat women. Others appeared to express homophobic sentiments. Kelce has not released a statement about the deleted tweets.

However, Whoopi Goldberg came to the defense of Kelce. “Find me a high school boy who hasn’t said something stupid about girls. Young people do young people stuff. What you said 25 years ago, may not be the way that you feel this time. So everybody needs to lighten up and let these people do what they want to do,” Goldberg argued. Kelce was 21 at the time of the deleted tweets.
