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.

A video shared by TMZ earlier today showed Wick’s group punching the fan twice and leaving him knocked out cold after hitting his head on the concrete twice.

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.

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.

Shakira Forced To Pay Even More Money From Tax Fraud Investigation

November 27, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Shakira has been dealing with the fallout from an investigation into her taxes for years now. She may have thought it was over last week when she appeared in court to settle the criminal investigation into her tax fraud. She paid nearly $27 million in order to get a lighter sentence after pleading guilty to tax fraud. Now, according to TMZ, she’s now being forced to pay even more to put the whole ordeal behind her.

While they can’t identify exactly why, Shakira has put forth an extra $7.2 million. TMZ speculates that it could either be a new additional settlement agreement or a bond payment of sorts. That would bring the total amount she’s paid to escape her tax burden at around $34 million. When the investigation first emerged last year Shakira was facing an 8-year prison sentence resulting from the charges against her. The allegations center around a specific period from 2012 to 2014. During that time she’s accused of avoiding paying millions in owed taxes. Check out the full story below.

Shakira Paying Even More In Tax Settlement

In the wake of the news of the investigation and her breakup with Gerard Pique, Shakira reportedly tried to leave Spain. Reports said that she was trying to settle in Miami. It ultimately didn’t help her avoid the penalties she was facing back home. The report allegedly came from close friends. They claimed they were trying to get her to make the move to Florida at the time. Though the primary motivation seems now to have had more to do with putting separation between her and Pique more than anything else.

Earlier this year the legendary singer got some jabs in at her ex and his new girlfriend. She threw some shade at Pique during Billboard’s Latin Women in Music event. That came just a few months after having some harsh words for his new girl. She’s been tied to numerous stars in the months since though nothing seems to have evolved beyond rumors yet. What do you think of Shakira being forced to pay an extra $7 million on top of the original $27 million settlement? Let us know in the comment section below.

Lil Eazy-E Calls Out Dr. Dre For Not Being Present At Street Naming: “All Of The West Coast Should Be”

November 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

In a recent interview with TMZ at the unveiling of the street named after his late father, Eazy-E, Lil Eazy-E had some words for Dr. Dre. In fact, issued a public call to Dr. Dre, urging the iconic producer to revisit his roots and pay a visit to Eazy-E’s mother. The rapper and son of the N.W.A legend expressed disappointment at the absence of Dr. Dre at Eazy-E’s funeral, recalling that DJ Yella was the sole attendee during his formative years. Lil Eazy-E remarked, “30 years later, do you think I care?” His words resonated with a sense of unresolved disappointment. He underscored the significance of Dre’s absence during a pivotal moment in Eazy-E’s legacy.

Lil Eazy-E believes that given Eazy-E’s profound influence on the West Coast rap scene, Dre, along with the entirety of the west coast region, should acknowledge and honor his father’s contributions. Directly addressing Dr. Dre, Lil Eazy-E extended an invitation for him to reconnect with Eazy’s mother, emphasizing the historical ties between Dre and the family. “Dre, you were on her couch when your mom kicked you out. So you could come sit there and say hi. She is still living and well,” he stated, adding a personal touch to the plea for a reconciliation.

Lil Eazy-E

Lil Eazy-E’s central concern appears to be his grandmother’s well-being, wishing Dre blessings while urging him to recognize and pay homage to the familial connections that played a pivotal role in both his and Eazy-E’s lives. This public call out from Lil Eazy-E prompts contemplation on the part of Dr. Dre. It underscores the importance of acknowledging one’s origins and expressing gratitude to those who played a foundational role in shaping one’s journey.

In the realm of hip-hop, where authenticity and respect are integral, this challenge serves as a reminder that even the most iconic figures should remain grounded in the communities that shaped their ascent. Whether Dr. Dre responds to this to reconnect with the roots of his career remains to be seen. But the challenge has undoubtedly opened a dialogue about the enduring ties between hip-hop legends and the communities that forged them. Do you think Dr. Dre and other west coast legends should have been in attendance? Let us know on HNHH!

Iman Shumpert Releases Statement On Teyana Taylor Divorce

November 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

News of Iman Shumpert and Teyana Taylor’s divorce already shocked the world a couple of months ago, but the new court filing added even more fuel to that fire. Moreover, according to secret documents that leaked online, she labeled him as a “narcissist,” and it turns out that infidelity might have played a role in their split. In fact, there are even rumors that the former basketball star leaked Taylor’s secret filing himself and then acted surprise at the news. Regardless of the truth or lies behind all that, we now have an official statement from him regarding this legal process. The 33-year-old’s attorney Stephen C. Steele gave TMZ some remarks on his next moves and priorities.

“Mr. Shumpert hopes parties and counsel can work toward a fair resolution, keeping the best interests of the children of paramount concern,” Iman Shumpert stated via his lawyer. This is a far cry from his initial reaction on social media, which suggested that he felt blindsided by this revelation and was not expecting it. Overall, in these early stages of the divorce process, it’s going to be hard to tell what is true and what is just gossip. With that in mind, the musician’s initial acknowledgement of their breakup points toward this being a relatively amicable process.

A post shared by The Neighborhood Talk (@theneighborhoodtalk)

“AHT AHT! Not too much on my bestie!” Teyana Taylor wrote on social media back in September. “In all fairness, Iman and I are separated and have been for a while. To be 1000% clear, ‘infidelity’ ain’t one of the reasons for our departure. We are still the best of friends, great business partners and are one hell of a team when it comes to co-parenting our 2 beautiful children. Most importantly we are FAMILY & in the 10yrs together, 7yrs married we ain’t ever played with or about THAT.

“We just keep y’all a**es out the group chat lol,” she continued. “Which is the reason we’ve been able to successfully & peacefully separate without all of the outside noise. The only reason I’m even sharing THIS part of the chat is because the narratives are getting a little out of hand & it’s unfair to all parties involved. I hope this provided some clarity for y’all. Okay AunTey taking y’all back out the chat bye!” For more news and the latest updates on Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert, stick around on HNHH.
