Britney Spears Is Allegedly Close To Going Broke

May 3, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s been a turbulent few years for Britney Spears since escaping from her conservatorship. The #FreeBritney movement eventually resulted in Spears being released from her fathers conservatorship after a lengthy court battle. But that hasn’t stopped bizarre and often troubling stories from coming out about the pop sensation. Most recently is a concerning report delivered by TMZ, they claim that she is approaching bankruptcy and not doing well mentally.

They claim to have an insider with intimate knowledge of Spears’ situation. They claim that she is in a dysfunctional place mentally while also accusing her of having dramatic mood swings. Later in the article the publication claims that she also isn’t in a good place financially. She reportedly takes private jet vacations to places like Hawaii and French Polynesia. That combined with legal fees she’s been paying out to courts, lawyers, and even her own father and she’s reportedly in dire straight financially. Check out the full report they shared below.

Concerning New Report On Britney Spears

Much of the recent news surrounding Britney Spears spawned from her memoir which released last year. In it she told previously unheard stories from her time in the spotlight as one of the biggest stars in all of music. One person who was painted in a particularly bad light by the memoir was Justin Timberlake. She discussed stories like the fellow pop-star getting her pregnant, which led to a harrowing abortion. She also discusses being broken up with by text while on set filming a movie.

Timberlake eventually had to turn off his Instagram comments following the memoir’s release after backlash from Spears’ fans became overwhelming. Though he did make somewhat of an apology to her, earlier this year he seemingly retracted it during a performance. What do you think of Britney Spears potentially being in danger of going broke and in a bad place mentally? Do you believe the new report about her mental health and financial situation is accurate?

May 2, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Beyonce has accomplished about as much as anybody in music. She has more Grammys than anyone else, though she’s notably never won the album of the year award. While she’ll get the chance once again next year with her new album Cowboy Carter, she’s already achieved something significant today. Her name now has an official entry and definition in the newest edition of the French Dictionary. She’s one of 40 names both French and international that were added to the newest version.

Her listing won’t surprise anyone. “Beyonce” is a proper noun that’s defined in the dictionary as “”American singer of R&B and pop.” TMZ reports that a jury selected 150 notable names relevant to the French language to decide whether or not to add to the dictionary. In addition to Bey, this year also saw the addition of LeBron James, Cate Blanchett, and Christopher Nolan. Her addition to the dictionary is revealed just a few weeks after her new album Cowboy Carter hit number one on the Billboard 200 and placed its entire tracklist in the Hot 100. Check out Bey’s full dictionary entry below.

Beyonce Added To French Dictionary

Earlier this week, the trailer for the Lion King prequel Mufasa: The Lion King was released. Beyonce is trying her hand at acting in the film and her daughter Blue Ivy is there alongside her. Blue is making her acting debut in the movie. Consequently fans of Bey’s music are hoping that a second Lion King film will lead to a second Lion King soundtrack from the popstar.

Act three of Bey’s Renaissance series is probably at least a full year away at this point, but fans are already hyped. They’re speculating on what the third genre she experiments in could be for the finale to the series. What do you think of Beyonce being added to the French dictionary? Who else do you think deserves to be added to next years edition that isn’t already included? Let us know in the comment section below.

Diddy Fires Back At Aubrey O’Day For “The Downfall Of Diddy” Allegations

April 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy has fired back at Aubrey O’Day for alleging that he only gave Bad Boy Records artists back their publishing rights in an attempt to silence them from speaking out about his behavior. O’Day spoke about the various allegations surrounding Diddy in recent months during an interview with TMZ for the outlet’s new Tubi documentary, The Downfall of Diddy.

In a statement to TMZ, sources from Diddy’s team wrote: “Aubrey O’Day got her big break because Diddy and Bad Boy cast her in their show with her group, Danity Kane. Last year, when he reassigned his portion of the publishing to Bad Boy artists, an unprecedented move within the industry and which he did not have to do, not all artists signed an NDA, contrary to what she claims.”

Aubrey O’Day & Diddy Appear On “Making The Band 4: The Final Chapter”

As for O’Day’s claims, she said during the documentary: “I received the publishing deal, I know what it says, I know how much money it was giving me. I’ll tell you: $300.30. For a full release of all claims against Diddy and many other players. I think he was making moves to keep as many people quiet as possible. When I went to look at the publishing deal, it said anything but I’m being made whole financially again. In fact, it asked me to not have access to my story and my experience anymore. It asked me specifically to stay silent and never speak poorly about a human.” Check out a trailer for The Downfall Of Diddy below.

TMZ Shares “The Downfall Of Diddy” Trailer

Diddy previously explained his decision to let the Bad Boy artists get their publishing back during an appearance on The Breakfast Club in 2023. He remarked at the time: “You don’t have to make changes in the world, but if you have a chance to do the right thing, you do the right thing. That’s a world I want to live in. I want to be the change that I want.” As for the allegations he’s been facing, he’d denied all of the claims stemming from Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones Jr.’s lawsuit and more. Police also have not charged him with any crimes. Be on the lookout for further updates on Diddy and Aubrey O’Day on HotNewHipHop.

Suge Knight Admits Diddy Allegations Are Bad For Hip-Hop: “It Makes Us All Look Bad”

April 29, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Suge Knight says he was disappointed when he learned of the allegations against his long-time rival, Diddy. Speaking with Harvey Levin for TMZ’s new The Downfall of Diddy special on Tubi, the co-founder of Death Row Records explained why he wasn’t celebrating when he learned of the lawsuits Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones Jr., Cassie, and more filed against the Bad Boy mogul.

“My first reaction, it’s not the reaction I thought I would have when it came to Puffy,” Knight said, as noted by Complex. “I thought it’d be a reaction like he got what he got coming because everybody know what’s been going on. My reaction was actually different because I felt like, damn. The first thing that came to my mind was he has his sons, he has his daughters. My reaction was first about the kids. The thing is, I feel it’s a bad day for hip-hop, a bad day for the culture. Because it makes us all look bad.”

When Harvey Levin appeared surprised about Knight’s reaction, he explained he doesn’t enjoy watching his enemies’ downfall. “I’m not the type of guy to cheer for people’s downfall,” he added. “If somebody gets killed or something happens to them, I’m not gonna pop champagne bottles. If I have a problem with Puffy, that’s for him and I to sit down in a room and resolve it. So for the tragedy on both sides, to the victims to him, that’s definitely not nothing to cheer about.” Check out the trailer for TMZ’s The Downfall of Diddy below.

TMZ Investigates Diddy Allegations

Diddy and his legal team have denied any wrongdoing amid the allegations as well as Homeland Security’s raids on his Los Angeles and Miami properties. Diddy has not been charged with any crimes. Be on the lookout for further updates on Suge Knight and Diddy on HotNewHipHop.

Diddy’s Alleged Associate Brendan Paul Charged With Felony Drug Possession

April 24, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last month, a series of events took place that rocked Diddy’s foundation. After months of facing lawsuits accusing him of decades of bad behavior, the stakes were raised substantially. That came after the federal government executed two raids on the rap mogul’s properties in both Miami and Los Angeles. On the same day, his plane was grounded at the airport in Miami. That led to one of his alleged associates, Brendan Paul, being arrested after cocaine and marijuana candy was found on the plane.

Many have alleged that Paul had been serving as Diddy’s main assistant, which makes his arrest a particular issue for the rap mogul. That got worse when he was hit with a felony count of drug possession. The raid executed last month is reportedly part of an investigation into some pretty serious allegations against the rapper. Those accusations include sex trafficking, illegal weapon possession, and more. TMZ speculates that the government could be in position to offer Brendan Paul a deal for information relevant to their investigation.

Alleged Diddy Associate Hit With Felony Charge

Since the raids last month, Diddy has been extremely quiet. But that hasn’t stopped tons of people online from bringing up his name. Celebrities from across numerous mediums have shared their takes on his current situation leading to a wide variety of conclusions. During a particularly bizarre crossover earlier this month, DJ Akademiks spoke to Donald Trump Jr. about the allegations against the rap mogul. 50 Cent also hasn’t slowed down his near-constant assault against Diddy on Instagram. He was one of the first to start taking aim at the legendary rap figure when allegations first began rolling in last year. Since then he’s posted near constantly about the case and the numerous other high-profile figures involved in it.

What do you think of Diddy’s alleged associate Brendan Paul being charged with felony drug possession? Do you think he may potentially be in line to share information with the government relevant to their investigation into the rap mogul? Let us know in the comment section below.

Diddy’s Ex Daphne Joy Poses For Bikini Photoshoot Amid Lawsuit Allegations

April 18, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s been a turbulent time recently for both legendary rap mogul Diddy and almost everyone else in his orbit. That included Daphne Joy, who was named in a lawsuit that also discussed Meek Mill, Yung Miami, and more. Joy in particular was accused of essentially being a sex worker for Combs. Those allegations got far more serious when it was revealed that he was under investigation by the federal government for allegations of sex trafficking. Two of his properties were raided and his private jet was intercepted last month.

But Daphne Joy isn’t letting the allegations against Diddy or herself slow her down. Earlier this week she was in Los Angeles showing quite a bit of skin for a photo shoot. She was spotted with a black bikini paired with a black maxi skirt. Unsurprisingly the skirt doesn’t do a particularly good job of covering up much of anything. We’re not permitted to post the images directly on HotNewHipHop, but if you’d like to see them, you can do so by clicking the Via link below.

Daphne Joy Continues Modeling Despite Diddy Allegations

After Joy was named in Lil Rod’s lawsuit against Diddy, 50 Cent unsurprisingly had a lot to say. 50 has been posting about the rap mogul almost every day dating all the way back to Cassie’s first lawsuit filed against him in November. He continued berating her for weeks even into April as he was still posting about her earlier this month.

Some fans online and even some members of the rap media space have started to believe the Lil Rod lawsuit may not be true. The more additions he made the more bizarre claims emerged, many of which were completely unnecessary to prove the accusations he leveled against Diddy. What do you think of Daphne Joy sporting a thin black bikini for a recent photoshoot? Do you think the allegations made against her in the lawsuit against Diddy are true? Let us know in the comment section below.

Ye Makes Substantial Cuts To Asking Price For Stripped-Down Mansion

April 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this year, Ye, formerly Kanye West, listed his Malibu mansion for sale. The property plays an interesting role in his past few years. He famously stripped the mansion down of almost everything you’d typically need to live in it. What’s left has no glass or electricity and is missing multiple walls and a roof. The property has unsurprisingly fallen victim to the physical deterioration of being left outside and stands out quite drastically from the surrounding beach front properties.

Back in January, West listed the unique property for sale. It was originally listed for a staggering $53 million price tag. While the location is ideal the home itself would likely take millions in renovations for anyone to ever live in it again. The four bedroom five bathroom home unsurprisingly didn’t sell and West has just made a significant price cut to the listing. According to TMZ it’s now for sale for a full $14 million less than the original asking price, sitting at $39 million. Check out some of the newest pictures of the home below.

Ye Makes A Substantial Price Drop To Malibu Home

Earlier today a new photo of Ye with Yung Lean and Rich The Kid hit the internet. Fans are hoping he’s hard at work on VULTURES 2 the second of three volumes he promised to drop this year. Rich The Kid contributes a feature to the hit song “CARNIVAL” from VULTURES 1. The track reached number one earlier this year and has been one of the biggest hits of 2024 so far.

The album is now more than a month past it’s originally announced release date. Ye and Ty Dolla $ign also had to cancel a previously announced listening party recently. The delays have only further contributed to fan frustration around the controversial rapper’s output. What do you think of Kanye West dropping the price of his mansion by $14 million? Do you think the mansion will ever sell in its current condition? Let us know in the comment section below.

Bianca Censori Once Again Pushes The Envelope With Her Latest See-Through Look

April 8, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Bianca Censori making waves for her evocative outfits has become a nearly weekly occurrence. The model and wife of Ye, formerly Kanye West, is no stranger to intrigue and controversy spawning from her outfits. It started last year when she and Ye spent months in Europe and were often spotted out with Censori in scantily clad outfits. At the time it even upset some of the local population who took to social media to call for the pair to be sent home.

When they returned to the US late last year the scandalous outfits continued. Censori seems determined to push her fashion experiments with nudity further and further every time she leaves the house. Many of the fits she’s been spotted wearing in recent weeks are so see-through that she needs to use her arms or a bag to cover parts of herself from photos. That’s once again the case with her newest dress, seemingly made entirely out of see-through latex. She and Ye got dinner in Los Angeles over the weekend, the same formula that has spawned some of her boldest outfits. Unsurprisingly, she once again got quite a bit of attention for her newest look. We’re not permitted to post the images directly on HotNewHipHop, but if you’d like to see them, you can do so by clicking the Via link below.

A few weeks ago, Ye and Censori sparked fan intrigue for an entirely different reason. That came on Easter when they went out with some of Ye’s children to see a movie. Fans were confused by the fact that despite arriving together the children left in a separate car after walking out of the theater minutes ahead of Ye and Censori.

Speaking of children, recent reports have claimed that Censori wants a child with Ye. While it’s all speculation at this point, it isn’t the first time similar rumors have emerged. What do you think of Bianca Censori’s newest envelope pushing see-through outfit? Do you think there’s a point to her increasingly nude looks? Let us know in the comment section below.

Ray J Says Diddy’s Friends Need Time To “Understand” Allegations Before Speaking Out

April 6, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ray J discussed the lack of public support for Diddy during a recent interview with TMZ at LAX. In doing so, he labeled the allegations against the Bad Boy mogul a “big question mark” and explained his associates want to know the full extent of the situation before speaking on it.

“I think a lot of people are just trying to understand it, understand what is and what’s not. It’s still a big question mark. Pray for everybody though. Prayers go up for everybody.” When asked about attending Diddy’s parties and whether he saw anything questionable, or whether he thinks the allegations stem from other “after parties,” Ray J pled the fifth. From there, he discussed his newest venture, Tronix Network.

Check out Ray J’s interview with TMZ below.

Ray J Speaks On Diddy’s Allegations

As for questions about the lack of support from Diddy’s friends, Boosie Badazz recently brought up that topic on social media. “I don’t hear none of them n***as that was toasting at Diddy’s with that champagne every year, having speeches with mane, nobody speak up for this mane or nothing,” Boosie said. “When you on top of the world, it’s a celebration. When you on the bottom, it’s a denial-ation. All of them muthaf***as all with their suits on, and their cups up. Ain’t nobody saying nothing. Boy this world, boy.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Ray J on HotNewHipHop.
