Snoop Dogg Reveals Why He Rejected $100 Million OnlyFans Deal

by

Apart from arguably being the most well-known rapper on the planet and one of the GOATs, Snoop Dogg is known for his many brand partnerships. In addition to his musical legacy, part of the scale of his celebrity is how he links up with pretty much anything. Or almost anything, we should say. On Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Tha Doggfather claimed that the rumors about the adult content platform OnlyFans offering him over $100 million for a partnership were true. While joined by Martha Stewart and Seth Meyers, he did admit that there’s a part of him that regrets turning it down.

“I did turn down $100 million, yes. The only part that regrets it is my friend down there,” Snoop Dogg joked… We’ll let you put two and two together. “[The OnlyFans representative] said that $100 million he would’ve been able to spend untaxed! But I told him, ‘It’s not your decision. I’m not thinking with the little head this time, I want to think with the big head and you’re not getting any of this.’”

Snoop Dogg Talks About OnlyFans Deal

In other Snoop Dogg news, his presence isn’t just legendary among gossip sites that care about OnlyFans or regular citizens just hearing wild stuff about celebrities. Within hip-hop, his primary contribution to the culture, his stamp of approval can be magnanimous, ushering in new eras and continuing his legacy in impactful ways. Kendrick Lamar recently admitted that the first time he publicly cried (maybe at all) was when the Long Beach icon and a slew of other West Coast artists handed him the torch as their new leading face. It was a very special moment, and one that an adult content deal would make at least a little bizarre these days.

Jokes aside, Snoop Dogg’s album with Dr. Dre, Missionary, is still on the way, and they’ve talked a lot about it and their creative partnership in comparison to others. Still, none of this means that we don’t still expect Snoop to ink a deal with other curious companies. Just not ones that would make him think “with the little head.”

Kendrick Lamar & Rihanna Reportedly Turned Down Headlining Coachella Next Year

by

Kendrick Lamar and Rihanna fans are desperate for a new album, but it looks like they might not have much to promote… Right? Well, according to a recent Bloomberg report, Goldenvoice’s president Paul Tollet is shopping around for Coachella 2025 headliners, and asked the “LOYALTY.” duo if the would be down. Apparently, they turned the offer down, although this doesn’t necessarily indicate that they won’t be coming out with something soon. This report also claimed that K.Dot will go on a stadium tour in 2025, and his Super Bowl halftime show next year also suggests that he’s got something to roll out.

As for RiRi… We’re all out of guesses. We don’t know if she’s just really working that hard on perfecting her next record over the course of almost a decade at this point. Also, Rihanna continues to grow her business empire and her family, so she has plenty of extracurricular reasons to maybe leave the music to the side at this point. Die-hards hope that this isn’t the case, but at this point, we have to be pessimistic rather than blindly hopeful.

Kendrick Lamar & Rihanna Allegedly Turned Coachella Down

In addition, we also need to compare this reported Coachella rejection to the Super Bowl halftime show. When Rihanna performed last year, she didn’t follow it up with an album release, which was very disappointing even for the fans hyped about her pregnancy reveal. As for Kendrick Lamar, he’s got his headlining slot coming up in New Orleans on February 9, one that the Barbadian singer is very excited for. Of course, this doesn’t guarantee an album rollout, or even new material. But we can’t imagine that the Compton lyricist didn’t attack Drake with a plan to have this lead into something larger or what he really wants to talk about and share with the world.

Whether or not you think Kendrick Lamar deserved the Super Bowl slot is another story. Regardless of that debate, he and Rihanna continue to be at the top of people’s “most anticipated albums” list. Coachella-goers next year sadly won’t see them on the main stage, but this speculative discussion around their next moves will continue regardless of a “yes” or “no” answer. As such, no report or theory will close the door or open it when it comes to their next record, unless either of them says anything to the contrary.

Bun B Confesses That UGK Rejected “Big Pimpin’ 2” With Jay-Z

by

“Big Pimpin’” is easily one of the best and biggest crossover hits between the East Coast and the South. As such, a sequel sounds like a fantastic idea, but one half of UGK recently explained why they didn’t think it was very feasible. Moreover, Bun B recently joined Math Hoffa’s My Expert Opinion podcast alongside Statik Selektah to talk about, among other things, their new album Trillstatik 3. At one point during their conversation, they eventually got around to “Big Pimpin’.” The Houston legend explained that the duo’s label, Jive Records, wanted them to do “Big Pimpin’ 2,” but succinctly pointed as to why it wouldn’t have been the best idea for financial and creative reasons.

“UGK was [the late Pimp C]’s baby, and he would put his heart and soul into it,” Bun B remarked. “And he didn’t wanna do all of that to get to this point and do one song with somebody and have his legacy perverted. That was the way he looked at it. When we were getting ready to do the next album, the label, Jive, was like, ‘Let’s do a ‘Big Pimpin’ 2.’ Let’s buy a Jay-Z verse, let’s buy a beat from Timbaland, let’s get a video from Hype [Williams], and let’s do it again, boys!’

Then, the Trill Burgers boss revealed that their first collaboration already sunk them in some debt with the label. “I was like, ‘If I don’t do a song with JAY-Z and Timbaland, do I still get a Hype Williams video?’” Bun B elaborated. “It was never, ‘No.’ They were like, ‘Why wouldn’t you want that?’ What? Besides [the] $2.5 million in the hole from the first song we recorded?” Also, he theorized that Pimp C wouldn’t have considered a Hov verse as “equal value to him” if they proposed a song-for-song trade agreement.

In fact, regarding these Southern pioneers’ history, Pimp apparently didn’t want to do “Big Pimpin’” at first out of respect for Tupac Shakur. Eventually, he and Jay squashed this dispute across a dinner table, but perhaps some feelings keeled over for a sequel. Either way, we’re glad that the original remains intact and didn’t ruin itself with a second attempt at lightning in a bottle. On that note, keep checking in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Bun B, UGK, and Jay-Z.
Long Live Pimp C.

Charleston White Turns Down Bricc Baby Fight After Allegedly Snitching On Him

by

Back in June, Charleston White claimed that he was responsible for Bricc Baby’s arrest and snitched on him. Apparently, the West Coast rapper didn’t appreciate that at all, and seemingly challenged White to a fight amid their beef. However, the provocateur wasn’t about to give Bricc a reason to get some clicks and cash, and turned the brawl down while on Instagram Live. In fact, he set a particular term for the fight that makes reference to deeper beef: he has to tussle with Calboy before getting at White. Overall, it’s quite the strange situation, and one that his expressive and over-the-top persona makes a tad more comical.

“The other stipulation is, you gotta go see Calboy. If you don’t go fight Calboy, you can’t fight me. So I will never ever in my life fight- what’s his name? Bricc Baby. You think you finna hit a lick out me, n***a. That n***a say, ‘If I turn down the fight.’ Guess what, I’m turning it down. N***a, I ain’t never gettin’ near one of you crab-a** n***as, no chance and no six-figure deal, n***a. F**k you, you think you slick. Stick your motherf***in’ a** over there with No Jumper and keep getting them small a** paychecks. But, n***a, I’m not finna let you get at no motherf***in’ money with me, n***a!”

Charleston White Doesn’t Want The Smoke With Bricc Baby

Previously, Charleston White broke down how he caused Bricc Baby’s arrest, claiming that he had a “$10,000 stack on his head.” “I made a federal report, n***a,” he remarked, revealing that a friend of his in law enforcement helped him make it. “First I called Houston and made the report to Houston. He’s now going around telling all the gang information. The feds see he’s got a loose lip. So he may give up some information. I’m telling you the honest to God truth, it’s what I did.”

Meanwhile, White knows a thing or two about how feuds or just dissing can generate a lot of money. As such, it’s natural that he wouldn’t want to give the rapper the time of day. After all, Lil Uzi Vert samples his rant about them on Pink Tape, and White’s very happy and appreciative of the royalty checks that are coming in as a result. Still, stick around on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Charleston White and Bricc Baby.

J. Cole Turned Down Adin Ross’ Charitable Donation, Didn’t Want To Film It

by

Whether on wax or off the mic, J. Cole is always looking for ways to speak to communities and directly impact them positively. However, he’s also the kind of public figure that doesn’t want to do things for the cameras, and keeps those endeavors quite private. Moreover, Adin Ross recently learned that according to his latest testimony during a recent livestream. Furthermore, readers may remember that Ross and Cole sat next to each other during Game 3 of the 2023 NBA Finals, and they actually chopped it up a little bit while sitting courtside. It turns out that the rapper actually respectfully declined a video idea from the streamer that involved community work because he didn’t want it to be filmed.

“I said, ‘Yo, would you wanna do a video where me and you go to Fayetteville and we give out hella money?’” Adin Ross said of J. Cole, a North Carolina native. “That’s exactly what I said. And Cole said, ‘I love the idea, like I really appreciate that. That’s real. But I just don’t like doing s**t like that on camera.’ So, you know, that’s what I asked him. I didn’t ask him for a live stream, I asked him something like that. But I respect J. Cole on God ’cause he’s real and he does s**t off camera all the time. He’s blessing people.”

In addition, Ross elaborated on his interaction with J. Cole in another livestream. “Cole sits down, says, ‘What’s up bro? How you been? Where you staying now?’ Etc., etc.,” Ross remarked. “We have that cool talk, small talk. We’re watching the game and s**t, I’m not really trying to be in his ear a lot. He just came in there to zone out and be in the game and s**t. But I had to ask him, you know, I said some shit. I asked about some streaming. He’s like, ‘I don’t really like cameras like that.’ But then I said to Cole, ‘Yo bro, on some life advice s**t, I’ve always wanted to talk to you. I’ve always wanted to talk to you about some life advice s**t.’

“He’s the realest motherf***er,” he continued. “He was like, ‘I would be lying. I really, really just wanna watch the game right now, Adin.’ But this is what he said, ‘I feel like this is not the right setting, but one day I’ma give you a heart to heart talk. We can talk about anything.’ He’s like, ‘Take my number down.’ He just gave me his number like that. J. Cole’s a regular a** human, real-a** motherf***er.” For the latest news and updates on J. Cole and Adin Ross, keep checking in with HNHH.

Ice Spice Fan Tries To Give Her Roses, She Turns Him Down

by

Ice Spice recently turned down a fan who tried to give the “Munch” hitmaker a bouquet of roses. While the poor guy’s gotta feel some type of way about it, at least he got so close to the rapper in the first place. Moreover, she gave a short performance at the Tia Adeola x Bowery Showroom NYFW afterparty at Brooklyn’s Williamsburg Hotel Ballroom on Saturday (February 11). As she walked inside the venue, a fan practically got on their knees and became the latest to try with the 23-year-old. However, she simply gave him a smile, said something unintelligible, and kept on walking in the viral clip.

Even thought she laughed at the exchange, hopefully it was more out of kindness than malice. Still, it didn’t prepare her for the monsoon of fans that she faced in that ballroom. In fact, things got so crowded that she had to stop her performance and ask people to back up. While the DJ and scant security tried to help, Spice herself had to push some people off. It’s also not the first controversial moment to happen at nightclubs with dominant female rappers this week. Funny how specific news trends can get, huh? Moreover, GloRilla recently addressed fans who threw water at her at an Oakland club where they thought she was going to perform. However, she and the event promoter made it clear that some issues remained unresolved.

Meanwhile, hip-hop-related comedian Druski recently made his own play on the Bronx native to controversial results. While they had an Instagram Live session together, he asked Spice to DM him her number. After she plugged her then-new track “In Ha Mood” and left the call, Druski’s comments took many aback. “We don’t give a f**k about that song. B***h, DM me,” he laughed. “I don’t give a f**k about that song, baby girl. DM me. Um, yeah. Yeah, we’ll see.” Later, when talking to Shannon Sharpe, he clarified some of his feelings.

“I was trying to get with Ice Spice,” he told Shannon Sharpe, “I still haven’t got the chance. I tried, I didn’t get her number. Like I said, you gotta let it come to you. At the end of the day, I’m the prize.” Whether you think he has a chance or not, come back to HNHH for the latest on Ice Spice.

Eminem Rejected $8 Million Offer To Perform At World Cup

by

Slim Shady’s one of the most successful and profitable names in hip-hop, but even he missed out on some major bags sometimes. In a recent interview with Big Boy’s Neighborhood, 50 Cent revealed that Eminem rejected an $8 million offer to perform at last year’s World Cup. Moreover, the offer came after the two performed alongside Mary J. Blige, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, and Kendrick Lamar at the 2022 Super Bowl Halftime Show.

According to Fif, organizers of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar reached out to his and Eminem’s teams to sign the on to perform.

“Because of the Super Bowl, I got an inquiry about the World Cup,” the Queens mogul stated. “They had a budget of $9 million for it. So they was gonna give— I would have took one, Big. Then the other eight would have been for Em.”

Meanwhile, 50 said that if anybody was interested in a one-and-done, they’d do “the biggest live sporting event in the world.” If the FIFA World Cup won’t cut it, what could?

Still, once they made the offer, 50 Cent called Em’s manager Paul Rosenberg to talk it over. Ultimately, they turned it down. While it seems likely, there’s no telling whether the news got directly to the “Lose Yourself” rapper.

“I called and spoke to Paul and everybody around him,” 50 said. “They was like, ‘He’s not gonna do it.’”

However, they didn’t show such hesitation when discussing a TV show adaptation of Eminem’s hit movie, 8 Mile. 

“I wanna bring — I’m gonna bring 8 Mile to television,” Fif stated. Also, he told Big Boy that the prospect is already “in motion.”

“It’s gonna be big,” he went on to state. “I’m working. I ain’t got no duds. I’m batting 10… I think it should be there for [Eminem’s] legacy because it’s important to me that they understand it.”

What do you think of Eminem turning down $8 million’s worth of a World Cup performance? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, check back in with HNHH for the latest interview highlights and hip-hop business.
