September 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Donald Trump is safe and unharmed after gunshots were fired near him at Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, around 2:00 PM on Sunday. He had been walking between the fifth and sixth holes when the shots were fired. Fox News is reporting that Secret Service members opened fire after spotting a man with an AK-47 in nearby bushes. Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson Teri Barbera says a “person of interest” is already in police custody.

“The former president is safe. We will have more details soon,” Secret Service spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement. Trump also reportedly told Fox News host Bret Baier: “Tell everybody I am fine and the Secret Service did a great job.” The FBI has confirmed the organization “is investigating what appears to be an attempted assassination” of former President Donald Trump, according to CNN.

They are relieved to know that he is safe. They will be kept regularly updated by their team,” they wrote. A few hours after the incident, Trump addressed the situation in an email to his supporters. “There were gunshots in my vicinity, but before rumors start spiraling out of control, I wanted you to hear this first: I AM SAFE AND WELL!” he wrote. “Nothing will slow me down. I will NEVER SURRENDER! I will always love you for supporting me.”

The latest apparent assassination attempt comes after another man shot at Trump during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania in July. Be on the lookout for further updates on Donald Trump and the 2024 Presidential Election on HotNewHipHop.

Doja Cat Tells Jack Harlow Why “Scarlet” Was An “Angry” Album

September 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Doja Cat says that her 2023 album, Scarlet, was an “angry project.” She made the comments while speaking with Jack Harlow for Present Space. The album featured several hit singles including “Paint the Town Red” and “Agora Hills.” It peaked at number four on the US Billboard 200.

“I think the point of that album was to showcase anger and how it processes through my mind, but also it’s about coming to your own defense and love,” Doja explained to Harlow. “It’s sort of my ‘Why I oughta!’ moment of squaring up with everyone and defending myself, telling myself that I’m here for me, and not just for everybody else’s enjoyment.”

From there, Doja discussed her relationship with social media and argued that humans aren’t evolved enough to use the internet. As for how she chooses who to follow, she explained: “I know that I just shouldn’t follow people who aren’t going to be creative, because that’s more mentally stimulating to me in a positive way, to follow people who are creating something new. It’s a safe haven for me as opposed to a place where I am watching people either pretend to be happy or genuinely be happy. I don’t want to use my phone in order to witness people’s happiness which I’d rather experience in reality.”

She’s made countless headlines for her antics on social media over the years. In 2023, she faced backlash after posting a selfie wearing a t-shirt featuring alt-right comedian Sam Hyde. She’s also gone back and forth with her followers on X (formerly Twitter) on numerous occasions. Be on the lookout for further updates on Doja Cat on HotNewHipHop.

Lecrae Jumps On Kendrick Lamar’s “Watch The Party Die” After Shoutout

September 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lecrae has jumped on Kendrick Lamar’s “Watch the Party Die” after being referenced on the original track. In a post on Instagram on Saturday night, the Christian rapper shared an audio clip of him rapping over the beat. Instead of a pair of black Air Force 1 shoes, he used a white pair for the artwork. “Welp.. this is what Lecrae would do,” he captioned the post.

On Lamar’s version of the track, he raps: “Sometimes I wonder what Lecrae would do / F*ck these n****s up or show ’em just what prayer do?” Crae first responded to the shout-out by writing on X (formerly Twitter) by writing: “Love you Dot….Always here. [praying hands emoji].”

In the comments section of Lecrae’s post, fans have been loving the performance. One top response reads: “This is why I can’t quit Crae. Every time I get bored of his fitting in/safe rap, he drops something atomic and brings me back in again. I hope the next project is more of this. More realness to show why he bothers either way Jesus in the first place.” Another user writes: “Bro. Pulling out the Isaiah 64 and hitting the original Hebrew with our ‘righteousness’ is as menstruous rags. Preach the Word, @lecrae. Those are the FACTS. Thank You Jesus for what You’ve done to redeem us. This is freaking [fire emoji].”

Ben Affleck Embraces Matt Damon’s Wife As He & Jennifer Lopez Continue Promoting New Film

September 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ben Affleck was spotted embracing and kissing Matt Damon’s wife, Luciana Damon, on the head on Friday. Paparazzi photographed the wholesome moment in Los Angeles. The meet-up between longtime friends comes after Damon made headlines for speaking with Jennifer Lopez at the Toronto International Film Festival, earlier this month. Affleck and Lopez are rumored to be in the process of a divorce.

Damon was with Lopez at TIFF to promote their new film, Unstoppable, which they worked on with Affleck. “What fun, what a joy to do something with her, see her be great, go to work with your wife, go to work with your best friend,” Affleck told CBS Sunday Mornings in March 2023 about working on the film. “If you don’t like who you’re working with, and if you have difficulty or trouble at work, I think it’s one of the things that can really cause depression, anxiety and pain for people … Can’t make it look like she’s doing it as a favor to me, but actually she is.” He didn’t attend the Toronto premiere.

Matt and Luciana have been married since 2005. During an interview on the Radio Times Podcast in August, Damon discussed the relationship rumors swirling about Affleck and Lopez. “I’ve been really lucky in that way … especially when I look at Casey’s brother, Ben. I can’t imagine living under that kind of scrutiny. And it’s been like that for 25 years and we’ve had parallel careers in a lot of ways and so I’m fortunate to have been kind of excused from that part of [it],” he said. He added that the press likely doesn’t bother scrutinizing his marriage to Luciana as it’s “boring.”

Unstoppable will be hitting theaters later this year. In addition to Lopez, it stars Jharrel Jerome, Bobby Cannavale, Michael Peña, and Don Cheadle.

Lucki Attempts To Explain Playboi Carti Misunderstanding After Leaked DMs

September 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Playboi Carti shared a series of direct messages between himself and Lucki on Instagram on Saturday, after believing the rapper dissed him on social media. In the messages, Lucki praised Carti and expressed his excitement about his new music. The disagreement comes after Carti shared his new song, “All Red,” on Friday.

Lucki eventually responded to the move in a video on Instagram Story, saying Carti misinterpreted one of his recent posts. “Like I said from the jump, I don’t dislike you,” he began. “You think, yesterday, because I bought a chain and I said, ‘crosses up,’ that I was sneak dissing you because you made a song that said, ‘upside down cross tat’ on my neck,’ but it wasn’t that though. I just bought a chain and was saying, ‘crosses up.’ You just insecure because you don’t love Jesus like that.” Afterward, Lucki shared an old picture of Carti wearing a shirt with “I [heart] Jesus” on it.

As Carti and Lucki continued posting throughout Saturday night, hip-hop fans on Reddit began sharing their opinions on the beef. “It’s weird how newer rappers just kinda tweet and post on their story during beefs and never make diss records,” one user wrote. Another posted: “Its crazy how all Lucki kids wanna beef with him at one point or another.”

Lucki Responds To Playboi Carti

The feud comes as Carti continues to prepare for the release of his upcoming album, Music. In addition to releasing, “All Red,” he finally made the new album available to pre-order on his website.

Glo makes club bangers for sure. She’s different & she’s herself… I’m ready to hear the album.” Others complained about the current prevalence of sampling. One user argued: “Like I really love BIG GLO but can we normalize this generation creating some new beats and material for the next generation to idolize because it seems like all everybody is doing is sampling and not being originals like thats what Made Missy, Busta, Aaliyah etc ICONIC.”

From there, Kelly Ripa suggested that Usher attempt to help Drake and Lamar end their beef. “I want no part of that. I’m sorry,” Usher said. “Let’s just say, it’s been a great experience to say that I could play the Super Bowl. I understand how much pressure comes with it and I wouldn’t wish it on anybody. But I would wish it on you if you’ve had the career.”

Kendrick Lamar Allegedly Cost Compton Businesses Thousands Of Dollars With His Viral “Not Like Us” Video

September 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Kendrick Lamar is coming under fire from small business owners in his hometown of Compton, after the filming of his music video for “Not Like Us” interrupted their day on June 22. In a new piece for The Los Angeles Times, Corina Pleasant, who runs the soul food restaurant, Alma’s Place, with her mother Alma, revealed that they were given no notice that the area would be overrun for the shoot. In turn, they lost thousands of dollars by staying open, despite being unable to operate.

“It was really disheartening to have the electricity on and gas. I’m just running everything and making no money. I literally was there for nothing, because the little money that I did make, I had to pay my staff with that,” she told the outlet. She also complained that the city didn’t provide her or any other business with enough notice to shut down ahead of time. She estimates her losses amount to between $1,800 to $2,200.

Pleasant went on to explain that she doesn’t have an issue with Lamar filming the video in general, but with the way it was handled. “One day does matter. It does matter when you’re there, and you’re wasting your time. It does matter when your Edison bill is $1,000. It does matter when two weeks’ payroll for three people is nearly $3,000. It does matter when gas is $800. You’re there, all these things are running, and you have nothing to show for it,” she further explained.

Kendrick Lamar Returns To Compton For “Not Like Us”

A spokesperson for the City of Compton addressed the incident in a statement to The Los Angeles Times. They promised the city would identify “opportunities for more efficient film permit communication to our community” going forward. They added: “Businesses in Compton, especially small businesses, are the backbone of our city. We want to continue to keep an open line of communication and do everything we can to support economic growth.” Lamar, however, has not commented on the situation. The update comes after the NFL announced he will be headlining the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show. Be on the lookout for further updates on Kendrick Lamar on HotNewHipHop.
