Chrisean Rock Breaks Up Tamar Braxton’s Prayer Circle Backstage At Show In New Video

January 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It had been a relatively quiet few days by Chrisean Rock’s standards leading up to New Year’s Eve. But now she’s being roped back into a tailspin of previous drama from back in November. As the story goes, Chrisean was backstage at one of Tamar Braxton’s shows in Los Angeles. She was expecting to perform, but when she was told that she wasn’t on the schedule at all a heated altercation sparked. That resulted in Chrisean allegedly assaulting one of Braxton’s backup dancers James Wright and putting him in the hospital.

While Rock denies that the fight ever happened, it’s her word against numerous others who shared their perspectives on the night. Now, a new video acquired by TMZ may shed some light on how tensions first arose backstage at the show. In the clip, Chrisean breaks up a prayer circle being held backstage with Toni Braxton looking particularly upset by the move. They claim that it wasn’t the incident that ultimately led to the fight, though it’s easy to see how it could have contributed to things escalating. Check out the newly shared video below.

Chrisean Rock On The Night Of James Wright Fight

The most recent drama Chrisean started had to do with Jaidyn Alexis’ new house. Blueface claims that he bought the house for Alexis even though the two are now broken up but Rock refuted that. She claimed that the house wasn’t actually bought but actually just rented. She also claimed it wasn’t even Blue who paid for it. Since then fans have been piecing together any details they can get their hands on trying to find the truth.

Last month, Sexyy Red shared a snippet of a remix of her song “Bow Bow Bow” with Chrisean on it. She took the opportunity to take shots directly at Blueface with her appearance on the track. What do you think of Chrisean Rock breaking up Tamar Braxton’s prayer circle backstage? Do you think it contributed to the alleged fight that broke out later that night?

Kanye West’s Hebrew Apology Criticized By American Jewish Committee

December 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Recently Kanye West made a very surprising Instagram post. He’s taken the opportunity on multiple occasions across the past two years to express antisemitic beliefs. He even repeatedly doubled down on certain talking points despite being called out. That’s why it caught many off guard when he took to Instagram to share an apology to the Jewish community for his statements.

The post was in Hebrew, which meant that for most fans it had to be translated. “I sincerely apologize to the Jewish community for any unintended outburst caused by my words or actions. It was not my intention to hurt or demean, and I deeply regret any pain I may have caused. I am committed to starting with myself and learning from this experience to ensure greater sensitivity and understanding More in the future. Your forgiveness is important to me, and I am committed to making amends and promoting unity,” the statement reads. Consequently it was controversial among many different groups almost right away. That was even before TMZ found that the statement set off red flags when put in a program to recognize AI text. Check out the post itself below.

Now the American Jewish Committee is responding. They’re one of the most significant groups speaking on behalf of Jewish people in America. Subsequently, the committee shared a statement about West’s apology. “Beyond being bizarre and possibly a ploy to gain more attention, the Hebrew apology – posted without translation – is inaccessible to most American Jews who do not speak the language,” their response begins.

“While he claims that he is committed to learning and greater understanding, this apology speaks to ‘any pain I may have caused,’ rather than acknowledging the pain that he has caused,” the committee’s statement concludes. Additionally, West is yet to answer to any of the responses his statement has received. What do you think of the American Jewish Committee’s response to Kanye West’s public apology to the Jewish community? Let us know in the comment section below.

Chrisean Rock Accuses Blueface Of Punching Her, He Claims It Didn’t Happen

December 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Once again, Blueface and Chrisean Rock find themselves at the center of quite a bit of drama. As usual, events are moving fast and it’s unclear what exactly the truth is amid conflicting reports. According to TMZ, what doesn’t seem to be disputed by either Blue or Rock is that they once again crossed paths this morning. That came after Rock reportedly showed up in Blue’s driveway where they both went on Instagram Live. But both why she was there in the first place and what happened next are up for debate.

According to Chrisean, she was invited over by Blueface and went hoping that he would help her out with babysitting duties for their young son. But from there, Chrisean claims that she was attacked by Blueface, even claiming that he punched her while she was holding their baby. She refused to leave his driveway following the alleged incident. Instead, she took to Instagram Live to tell her side of the story to followers and claim that she was waiting for cops to arrive. She then shared texts between the two that reportedly proved she was invited over. Check out clips from her Live below.

Chrisean Rock And Blueface’s Newest Drama

Unsurprisingly, Blueface’s telling of the events differs quite a bit from Chrisean’s. He claims that she wasn’t actually invited to his house and instead showed up in his driveway unannounced. Blue refutes her claims that he assaulted her and the accuracy of the text messages she shared. He also took to Instagram to share a video where he accused her of driving their baby around without a car seat.

Blueface and Chrisean’s re-ignited beef came after his focus had shifted to another opponent for much of the week. That opponent was Soulja Boy who Blue has been beefing with online. It first started when Blue claimed he could beat the fellow rapper in a Verzuz. But since then its escalated to a full on fight, which is reportedly in the works now. What do you think of the newest drama between Chrisean Rock and Blueface? Who do you think is telling the truth about what happened? Let us know in the comment section below.

Big Sean Breaks Silence On Kendrick Lamar’s Leaked Diss Track

December 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Big Sean says that he doesn’t consider the leaked Kendrick Lamar song that mentions him by name a diss. Speaking with TMZ about the unreleased track, he explained that he would’ve fired back with a response had he considered it one.

“Ain’t no diss,” Sean quickly remarked when the outlet asked about it. As for his current relationship with Lamar, he says they’re cool. “Of course. If it was a diss, it would have been a diss. If it was a diss, it would have been another diss.” Altogether, Sean appeared to be in good spirits while discussing the lyrics.

As for the track in question, Lamar targets many more artists besides just Sean. “F*ck subliminals, I put you on the roll call/ French Montana speaking on me in interviews/ Very cynical, dry hating something I don’t approve/ Jay Electronica put silencers on my Grammy night/ Another dead prophet hoping the God’ll give him life,” Kendrick raps. “Big Sean keep sneak dissin,’ I let it slide/ I think his false confidence got him inspired/ I can’t make them respect you, baby, it’s not my job/ You finally famous for who you date, not how you rhyme (boy). Cute-ass raps, get your puberty up/ Then make you a classic album before you come at us/ Drake and Meek Mill beef might got you gassed up/ But I’m a whole ‘nother beast, I really f*ck you up.” It appears that the lyrics stem from an alternate version of “Pandemic,” which landed on Lamar’s Black Panther soundtrack.

Big Sean Discusses Leaked Kendrick Lamar Diss

Elsewhere in the interview with TMZ, he discussed “having rizz,” whether he has a new album on the way, and more. Be on the lookout for further updates on Big Sean on HotNewHipHop.

Justin Timberlake Hints At Britney Spears Memoir Backlash During Recent Performance

December 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Back in October, Britney Spears put the cap on a turbulent era of her life and career when she shared her long-awaited memoir The Women In Me with fans. The book gave her die-hards a peek behind the curtain into her personal life while at the height of her fame. While some were hoping for more scathing details in regards to her conservatorship and the #FreeBritney movement, the memoir certainly isn’t lacking for drama.

In The Woman In Me, Britney makes some major revelations about her relationship with Justin Timberlake. Some are more light-hearted like the fact that he switched up his accent around different people to try and sound cool. But others were more serious, in particular those revolving around their relationship. Timberlake’s reported infidelity and breaking up with Spears via text didn’t sit well with fans. Neither did the fact that Timberlake got her pregnant which led to a secret abortion. Britney describes it as an excruciating process. In the wake of the memoir’s release, hate from Britney fans was so intense that Timberlake had to disable comments on his Instagram. But now for the first time, the singer has made any kind of acknowledgement of the memoir.

Justin Timberlake Prefaces “Cry Me A River”

According to TMZ, Justin Timberlake made a subtle nod to the controversy during a recent performance in Las Vegas. He was gearing up to perform his massive hit song “Cry Me A River” which is famously about the alleged infidelity that brought down his relationship with Spears. He very briefly mentioned that the song came with “no disrespect” before starting his performance. While the crowd doesn’t seem to have any massive reaction to his specific comments, fans online did.

Unsurprisingly, Timberlake isn’t out of the woods yet with Britney fans. “The whole song and video is disrespect” one fan points out in the comments of a repost on twitter. What do you think of Justin Timberlake’s subtle acknowledgement of Britney’s memoir in a recent performance? Let us know in the comment section below.

Nardo Wick’s Entourage Members Wanted By Police After Violent Attack

November 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Over the weekend, a Nardo Wick fan got way more than they bargained for after attending one of his shows. He tried to approach the rapper outside the venue for a picture and was met with a drastic overreaction from his posse. Two of Wick’s associates attacked the fan, whose name is George Obregon Jr. He was punched twice with both ending in his head hitting concrete and the entire interaction was captured on video. The video was shared earlier this week after it was revealed that the fan was hospitalized after the attack.

Yesterday, Nardo Wick broke his silence on the incident with a statement posted to his Instagram. He clarified that he had already reached out to the victim’s mother to express his apologies for the incident. He also pretty firmly denounced the actions of those involved in the fight. Wick probably wants to separate himself from the incident as much as possible as the police are now ramping up their investigation into the attack. Check out the disturbing video of the incident below.

Nardo Wick Fan Attacked

Earlier this week, Tampa police shared an update on the victim. They explained that he was in stable condition and now doctors are trying to figure out if any long term damage has been done. They also asked the public for help identifying the attackers in the case. According to TMZ, they’ve now narrowed their suspect list down to just two individuals whose pictures they shared online.

Nardo has had a few high-profile crossovers this year. Back in March he dropped a new track with Lil Baby and followed it up a few months later by teaming up with Gucci Mane and Roddy Ricch. Wick’s debut studio album Who Is Nardo Wick? dropped back in 2021. It spawned hit songs like “Who Want Smoke?” and “Me or Some.” What do you think of Nardo Wick’s entourage attacking and hospitalizing a fan outside one of his shows? Let us know in the comment section below.

November 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Over the weekend, a Nardo Wick fan got more than he bargained for after a show. When he approached Wick to try and get a photo, members of his entourage overreacted and attacked him.

The video is alarming and unsurprisingly resulted in the fan being hospitalized. Earlier today, Tampa police shared an update on his condition which is critical but stable. They also opened an investigation into the attack and asked for the public’s help finding out who was responsible. Now Nardo Wick has broken his silence on the incident and shared his point of view on what went down. “I don’t condone what happened to my fan George after my show in any type of way. I expressed to him and his momma how sorry and concerned I was that it happened to him multiple times before anything was even posted of on the internet,” his statement begins. Check out his full post addressing the situation below.

Nardo Wick Fan Hospitalized By Rapper’s Entourage After Asking For A Photo

November 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

After a recent Nardo Wick concert in Tampa, one fan got much more than he bargained for. He approached the rapper outside the club where the show was held trying to get a photo. That’s why Wick’s entourage jumped him and the resulting attack feels like a brutal overreaction. According to TMZ, the fight happened after 1 am outside the club and they even shared a video of what happened.

In the video, shortly after the fan approaches Nardo somebody in his crew sucker punches him. The punch knocks the fan’s head into a concrete wall and a following punch knocks him backwards onto the ground where he again appears to hit his head. Nardo himself appears to try and get his group to back off but the damage is already done. Follow-up reports paint a scary picture of the incident and following treatment. Tampa police say that the victim is in critical, but stable condition. They also opened up an investigation into the incident and are asking the public for help identifying the members of Nardo’s group. Check out the unsettling video of the attack below.

Diddy Steps Down As Chairman Of Revolt Amid Lawsuits

November 28, 2023 by newhiphopnews

It’s been a hectic few weeks for Diddy dating back to a high-profile lawsuit filed against him by Cassie earlier this month. The suit made some pretty serious allegations against the rap mogul, though he’s denied everything he’s accused of. Just a day after the lawsuit was made public, the pair reached a settlement which was announced as a maneuver to end things more amicably.

But that didn’t keep his name out of the headlines for long. In the wake of the lawsuit, fans dug up old interviews and comments from past exes and associates of Diddy that didn’t always paint him in the best light. It got even worse when a second lawsuit was filed against him. A former Syracuse student claimed in a new lawsuit that Diddy drugged and sexually assaulted her on camera in 1991. Now, the swarm of bad buzz seems to finally be taking an actual toll on the rap mogul’s business dealings. Check out the latest move he was forced to make below.

Diddy Taking Temporary Break From Revolt

TMZ is now reporting that Diddy is stepping away from his role in Revolt. The rap mogul founded the media company a decade ago. While they’re careful to report that the move is only considered temporary, they do clarify that it is happening because he doesn’t want the drama from his new lawsuits to get in the way of Revolt’s success.

This isn’t the first business venture that’s been impacted by the recent allegations. It was recently made public that Macy’s would be phasing out Diddy’s activewear brand Sean John from all of their stores. It’s also manifested in other ways. During a recent performance of her hit song “Tik Tok” Kesha deliberately left out a famous line in the song. It’s a line on the opening verse where she namedrops Diddy directly. What do you think of Diddy stepping aside as Chairman of Revolt in response to the lawsuits filed against him recently? Let us know in the comment section below.
