Jonathan Majors Sings Happy Birthday To A Fan On A TMZ Tour Bus

March 25, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Much of the news surrounding Jonathan Majors in the past year has been incredibly serious. That’s mostly due to an assault case he spent much of 2023 fighting. Right around the end of the year, he was found guilty, though the repercussions have had much more to do with his professional life than the legal system. He had been playing a role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but the Superhero franchise cut ties with him immediately following the verdict.

But now the first surprisingly wholesome story relating to the actor in a long time has emerged. That came entirely by chance when he ran into a TMZ Tour Bus that was showing some fans around Hollywood. He had a quick chat with the surprised fans and delighted tour guide before noticing that it was somebody on the tour’s birthday. Then he hilariously decided to sing him happy birthday. something the fellow tour attendees love. Check out the surprisingly adorable video below.

Jonathan Majors Runs Into A TMZ Tour Bus

Following his guilty verdict, Jonathan Majors sat down with ABC for a tell all interview. The highly-anticipated interview saw him doubling down on his claims that he’s completely innocent of all the charges brought against him. Since then, Majors has faced even more allegations from other previous partners. That resulted in a new lawsuit filed against him earlier this month.

The lawsuit was filed by an ex-girlfriend and accuses the actor of assault, battery, and defamation. Majors seems to be attempting to brush the new allegations off as well. He’s doubled down on professing his love for his current girlfriend and continued his routine of hitting the gym despite once again finding himself in legal trouble. What do you think of Jonathan Majors singing happy birthday to a fan on a TMZ tour bus? What would you think if you ran into the embattled actor during a TMZ tour?

Michael Jackson’s Son Blanket Tries To Prevent His Grandmother From Using Estate Money For Legal Challenge

March 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Since the king of pop tragically passed away in 2009 there’s been near-constant legal issues regarding his estate. The newest issues began when the executors of Michael’s estate reportedly tried to sell the rights to his entire catalog for upwards of $600 Million. Both Jackson’s mother Katherine and his youngest son Blanket came together to oppose the move and challenge it in court. Even though the judge ruled against them in that legal matter, it hasn’t dissuaded Katherine’s attempts to stop the sale.

But it’s at this point in the legal challenge where Blanket and Katherine’s priorities start to splinter off. Katherine filed an appeal against the judge’s initial ruling against them, something that Blanket thinks is a waste of time and money. As a result, he’s asked a judge to prevent Katherine from using money from Michael’s estate on the legal challenge. He believes that Katherine won’t win the challenge and doesn’t want her using Michael’s money on a “pointless” legal battle. Check out the full story below.

Blanket And Katherine Jackson Going To A Judge Over Michael Jackson’s Money

Last year, filming began for an upcoming Michael Jackson biopic. Michael’s own nephew Jaafar Jackson was tapped with trying to capture the likeness of the legendary pop figure. It isn’t an easy task capturing everything that made Michael such a unique performer and person. The film is called simply Michael and is expected to make its way to theaters in 2025.

Also last year, Michael Jackson’s record amount of number one hits was tied by Drake. Following the release of For All The Dogs his song “First Person Shooter” debuted at number one on the Hot 100. The song even specifically features a lyric where he references honing in on Jackson’s record. What do you think of the newest legal challenge Katherine Jackson is trying to pursue? Do you think Blanket is right to call it pointless and try to prevent her from using Michael’s money? Let us know in the comment section below.

March 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Over the weekend a bizarre story emerged online. Claims circulated that Bruno Mars owed a shocking amount of money in gambling debts. The report claimed that the “That’s What I Like” singer owed MGM Resorts a debt of nearly $50 million. If the story sounds farfetched, that’s apparently because it isn’t true. The casino giant came to the singers defense in a newly released statement denying the rumors. I

n a statement they denied the claims while also plugging his upcoming performances. “We’re proud of our relationship with Bruno Mars, one of the world’s most thrilling and dynamic performers. From his shows at Dolby Live at Park MGM to the new Pinky Ring lounge at Bellagio, Bruno’s brand of entertainment attracts visitors from around the globe. MGM and Bruno’s partnership is longstanding and rooted in mutual respect. Any speculation otherwise is completely false; he has no debt with MGM. Together, we are excited to continue creating unforgettable experiences for our guests, the company said. Bruno Mars has an upcoming residency at the resort.

Bruno Mars Gambling Debt Story Cleared Up

Last month, Bruno Mars was in Las Vegas alongside dozens of other celebrities for the Super Bowl. But he wasn’t just there to enjoy the big game or even to perform. Instead, he opened up a Cocktail Bar called The Pinky Ring. It serves as both a bar and a jazz lounge inside the Bellagio. It opened up with a stunning lineup including Lady Gaga, Janelle Monae, and T-Pain in attendance.

It’s been 8 years since Bruno Mars dropped his last solo album 24k Magic. He followed that up in 2021 when he formed Silk Sonic alongside Anderson .Paak.

Bianca Censori Steps Out In Another Fully See-Through Outfit

March 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bianca Censori has spent months now being spotted out and about with Kanye West in increasingly racy outfits. Since last year, paparazzi photos have routinely caught her in public sporting a variety of revealing clothing. Whether or not it’s a deliberate attempt to shock people or not has been debated, but she’s continued to get increasingly revealing as the weeks go by. It’s harder to get any more revealing than an outfit she wore out over the weekend though.

The pair are in California, where just a few days ago Kanye took the stage at Rolling Loud for another Vultures listening party. The show was stacked with special guests and Censori herself was in attendance backstage. Later in the weekend photographers caught up with them in Burbank where she showed off her most revealing outfit yet. Censori donned a nearly completely see through black body suit that necessitated her using her phone to cover herself while photos were being taken. The pair were accompanied by someone trying to prevent photos from being taken, but clearly it wasn’t very effective. Check out some of the pics of her newest outfit below.

Bianca Censori’s Fully See-Through Look

The newest photos come just a few days after Censori was out and about going braless. She was spotted by cameras while on a shopping trip with West. In addition to the photos taken of her by the public, she’s also served repeatedly as a model for various photos shared by West himself. Earlier this year he grabbed plenty of attention for sharing increasingly revealing photos of Censori to his Instagram story.

In a moment that got quite a bit of attention online, Censori hung out with West’s ex-wife Kim Kardashian backstage at his Rolling Loud show. Things seemed surprisingly civil between the pair following reports of comments Kardashian made about the model last year. What do you think of Bianca Censori’s newest revealing outfit? Do you think she’s dressing deliberately provocatively on purpose to provoke a reaction? Let us know in the comment section below.

Serayah Crying Footage Has Joey Badass Putting “TMZ” On Blast

March 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

After seeing a video of Serayah and her boo, Joey Badass, getting in their feelings during a stroll through Los Angeles earlier this week, some began to worry about the status of the pair’s beloved relationship. Thankfully, the “Love Is Only a Feeling” artist once again won the world over when he wrapped his arms around his girl in a sweet embrace amid her sobbing. Rather than simply leave it at that, he’s also addressing the situation on Instagram to clear up any concerns from social media sleuths.

On Tuesday (March 12), Badass’ Instagram lit up with a new photo dump of him and Serayah dressed to the nines. We’ve seen plenty of them killing it on red carpets and at Fashion Week events over the past few months, but this might be one of their best collaborations yet. While the multi-talent looked dapper as ever in a black suit with simple but elegant gold accessories, his date was shining bright like a diamond. The top half of her dress was covered in silver gems, resembling a seashell, while the feathers around the bottom only helped to enhance her curves.

Joey Badass Addresses Viral Clip of Him and Serayah Circulating Online

A post shared by JOZIF BADMON (@joeybadass)

In his caption, Badass wrote, “People all in our business they don’t even know the facts, they don’t see the s**t we witness only what the cameras catch ,” crediting @swurv3 for capturing photos. Clearly, the 29-year-old’s pen game is just as strong as ever, and it doesn’t look like he’ll be back on the market anytime soon.

Now that we know Joey Badass and Serayah’s relationship is still going strong, the couple’s supporters are wondering what’s next for each of them. Back in January, the rapper-turned-actor said goodbye to his character on 50 Cent’s Raising Kanan, meanwhile, his lover showed off her vocal skills with a seven-track EP last summer called Flutter. Where do you hope to see the couple investing their energy next? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Lil Cease Speaks Out On Diddy Allegations: “We Don’t Know If It’s True”

March 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Cease has broken his silence on the allegations against Diddy. Speaking with TMZ for a new interview, he took a fairly passive stance on the Bad Boy mogul, arguing that no one knows for certain whether he’s guilty while hoping everyone “finds peace.” Diddy is facing several lawsuits pertaining to sexual misconduct with the most recent coming from Lil Rod.

“At the end of the day, a lot of things is accusations. We don’t know if it’s true or if it’s not. I’m not the one to say what’s true and what’s not. But I hope everyone finds comfort, finds peace. And that’s how I see it,” Lil Cease told the outlet.

Cease is far from the first celebrity to speak on the allegations against Diddy. Last month, Floyd Mayweather faced backlash for coming to the disgraced Bad Boy mogul’s defense during an interview with The Pivot Podcast. “I’m not gonna speak bad about P. Diddy because he’s still a Black man,” he said at the time. “Mistakes happen. I can’t say if it is or if it’s not a mistake, but things happen in life. P. Diddy’s business is P. Diddy’s business. It’s not my job or anyone else’s job to go on the internet and stomp him and kick a man when he’s down. My take on it is it’s not my business. I don’t think it’s right at all and I don’t condone it.” 50 Cent was among those to call him out for the comments.

Lil Cease Speaks On Diddy

Elsewhere in the interview, Cease also discussed giving away his unreleased Notorious B.I.G. songs. Be on the lookout for further updates on Lil Cease as well as the case against Diddy on HotNewHipHop.

Nicki Minaj Possibly Seen Arguing With Hairstylist Backstage During “Pink Friday 2 Tour”

March 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Nicki Minaj is celebrating her revival of her iconic Pink Friday series with its sequel and its accompanying set of concerts. The Trinidadian femcee icon is currently on her Pink Friday 2 World Tour, which began at the start of March. Its album dropped back in December of last year to mixed reviews. But you know her Barbz are going to fully support all of her work. However, the tour appears to be having its issues, as Nicki Minaj and a hairstylist got into it a little.

According to TMZ Hip Hop, they obtained photo evidence of the seemingly heated interaction backstage. It is a pretty blurry photo from her Seattle show last night, March 10, so it is hard to confirm how serious it got. However, Nicki’s stance and body language toward the hairstylist do reveal that there was some frustration from the rapper. Those were possibly stemming from some other production issues.

Nicki Minaj Was Apparently Dealing With Other Issues Too

Reports say that were wardrobe delays, which could certainly include her wigs that she is synonymous with. TMZ did reach out to Nicki and have not heard back, nor has she spoken about it. Fans were mixed in their reactions, saying the superstar overreacted, while others were on her side. More could come of this, so be sure to stick with us for any updates.

What are your thoughts on Nicki Minaj arguing with her hairstylist backstage during her Pink Friday 2 World Tour? Are you surprised or not that she appeared to lash out at her and why?

Jonathan Majors Undergoes Intense Gym Session For Rumored New Role

March 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Jonathan Majors has been spotted going hard at the gym amid rumors that he is in the running for a new film role. Per TMZ, Majors was in LA for an audition this week, where he has also been working with a team of specialist trainers. However, there is no word on what the project might be. Majors, who will be sentenced in April after being found guilty of misdemeanor assault and harassment, is reportedly splitting his time between LA and New York. In LA, it’s all work, with plenty of gym time. However, his NYC time is more laidback, typically spent with partner Meagan Good.

It’s not the first time that Majors has to have been ripped for a role. He had an imposing physique in his brief appearances as Kang in the MCU. Furthermore, there was also Magazine Dreams, in which Majors played an increasingly obsessive bodybuilder. However, Magazine Dreams does not currently have a release date. Searchlight Pictures, a subsidiary of Disney, acquired the distribution rights to the film after it opened to rave reviews at Sundance 2023. It was meant to be released in December but was shelved in light of Majors’ legal issues.

Jonathan Majors Faces New Allegations From Two Ex-Partners

Meanwhile, Two women, Emma Duncan and Maura Hooper, recently went public with allegations of physical and emotional abuse against Majors. Both women had their allegations referred to in a Rolling Stone exposé about Majors last year. However, the pair have since publicly reiterated their claims in an interview with The New York Times. Duncan claims that Majors “threw her across the room” and “threatened to make sure she couldn’t have children” during a fight in 2016. Meanwhile, Hooper called Majors “deeply controlling” and told her she was “not allowed to speak with anyone about the relationship”. Majors denied the accusations. However, his attorney noted that the actor was “deeply embarrassed by some of his jealous behavior”. Both women had previously declined to speak directly to Rolling Stone, with one citing a fear of retribution.

The testimony of Duncan and Hooper follows semi-public claims from another woman, who spoke to The Cut under a pseudonym. “Anna” told the publication that she had pulled her story from the Rolling Stone article after receiving a threatening letter warning her not to go public with her allegations. According to “Anna”, the phone number included with the letter was linked to the law firm retained by Majors for his criminal trial last year. Majors’ attorney denied any involvement from her or her firm in the letter.

Video Of Jake Paul Saying He Wouldn’t Fight Mike Tyson Resurfaces

March 7, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A video from 2020 of Jake Paul saying he wouldn’t fight Mike Tyson has resurfaced after the pair announced a bout in July. “Look, I’m confident, but I’m not stupid. I would not go into the ring with them. Nah, no chance,” the then 2-0 boxer told TMZ. Paul will fight Tyson in a boxing match at AT&T Stadium in Dallas and streamed live on Netflix. The streaming platform announced the July fight on social media to the surprise of the sporting world. The fight, which will likely be fought as an exhibition match, comes in the midst of Paul taking his boxing career more seriously. The last time that Tyson fought was an exhibition bout against Roy Jones Jr in November 2020.

“Mike Tyson is one of the biggest icons in boxing history and Jake Paul is one of the biggest disruptors in boxing history. Saturday, July 20 will be pure drama in the ring in Texas. We are thrilled to partner with Most Valuable Promotions for this historic event and we can’t wait for these two to face off for fans all across the world on Netflix,” said Gabe Spitzer, VP of Sports Nonfiction at Netflix. The event will be the latest sports offering from the streaming giant. There has been previously been the Netflix Slam for tennis and the Netflix Cup for an F1/PGA crossover.

KSI Mocks Paul-Tyson Fight

However, not everyone is keen for the fight. KSI has taken aim at the recently announced fight between Jake Paul and Mike Tyson. “50+ years old. No one wanted this…So sad to see man…,” KSI wrote in response to the announcement. However, it’s not the first time that KSI has gone after Paul. In December, KSI announced that he was no longer interested in fighting Paul after news broke alleging that Paul was yet to sell out his fight against Andre August. “Yeah, he ain’t got any hype anymore. I ain’t wasting my time to fight him lol,” KSI wrote on X. The smaller venue fight at an Orlando casino was being hailed by Paul as his way of proving his boxing credentials rather than his PPV draw ability.

Despite this, Paul is clearly looking beyond KSI at this point. Paul took aim at Canelo Alvarez after beating Ryan Bourland with a first-round TKO in Puerto Rico. “Hey, Canelo, stop ducking. I know you want it. I’m repping Puerto Rico; you’re repping Mexico. So, it’s Puerto Rico versus Mexico,” Paul said. It’s not the first time that Paul (9-1) has called out Alvarez (60-2-2). However, Canelo told the YouTuber-turned-boxer to “stay in his lane” the last time Paul made such a challenge.

TMZ Reporter Who Interrogated Kanye West About Bianca Censori, Arrested For Public Intoxication: Report

March 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kanye West is one of the most unpredictable celebrities for a bevy of reasons. However, a TMZ reporter ignored that warning to ask a very personal and critical question that really set the rapper off. The in-public interview went viral due to the inquiry, but also because of the unhinged reaction he gave when he snatched her phone and scolded her maliciously. She asked the masked figure if his wife, Bianca Censori, had “free will.” That is when Ye snapped, “Don’t come asking me that dumb a** s***, I’m a person.” That tense confrontation did not lead to anything more. However, the TMZ reporter may not be an employee anymore, after her arrest for a different reason outside of the Kanye West fiasco.

According to Complex, she has been arrested in Tennessee for public intoxication. That woman’s name is Melanie Leanne Miller. She was at one of Jason Aldean’s bars and was told to leave after being too inebriated. Police officers arrived on the scene and Miller was trying to make a case that there were a group of people being homophobic. Things escalated further after she refused to get into a taxi to presumably take her home.

The Reporter Was Finally Arrested After Numerous Altercations

TMZ reporter Melanie Miller was arrested for public intoxication in Nashville.

Two months ago, Miller went viral for asking Ye if Bianca Censori had “free will.” Ye responded by taking away her phone and offering her a job with double her salary. pic.twitter.com/Wk1MdrtWKC

After that, Melanie continued to hang around the establishment saying that friends were going to pick her up. Even worse, she was getting frustrated with the cops, asking for their badges and names. That is when the authorities decided to end it and book a citation for her. Her Instagram account has since been deleted and it will be interesting to see if she holds her position with the longtime media company.

What are your thoughts on the TMZ reporter, who got into it with Kanye West, and her arrest? How do you think this will play out? Do you think Ye will react to this at all, why or why not? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Kanye West and the arrest.
