“Mea Culpa”: Kelly Rowland Rejects Destiny’s Child Reunion Question During Netflix Interview

February 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

It’s long been suggested that Beyonce outshone her Destiny’s Child co-members during their time together as a group, but regardless of what’s happened in the past, Kelly Rowland is front and centre right now. On Friday (February 23), Tyler Perry’s latest film, Mea Culpa, will debut on Netflix. Starring Rowland as a criminal defense attorney who takes on a case of an artist accused of murdering his girlfriend. As with most good dramas, lust and passion raise issues between the client and his lawyer, who finds herself living a double life while attempting to evade too much danger.

The multi-talent acts opposite Trevante Rhodes, who manages to reel her in with his expert tactics of seduction. Earlier this week, Rowland and her co-star were speaking with the media about their work, at which time she found herself shutting down unrelated questions from a journalist. When chatting with V-103 Atlanta about her movie, the black-haired beauty was taken aback by an inquiry about Beyonce. “Your sis just dropped a whole new couple of songs, and it’s my understanding that Renaissance II may or may not be country-based, and then there’s a rumor going around that Renaissance III may be rock-based or a DC reunion,” he speculated.

“That is her business to talk about, not mine,” Rowland stated. When a co-host attempted to step in and diffuse the situation, the “Kisses Down Low” hitmaker doubled down. “Ask them. I’m here talking about ‘Mea Culpa,’ out Feb. 23rd. That’s what I’m most excited about right now,” she said with a laugh.

Killer Mike Faces Fan Criticism For Resurfaced Documentary Clip

February 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Killer Mike has had a big 2024 so far already. Earlier this month he took home a sweep of hip-hop Grammys for his new album MICHAEL and its standout track “SCIENTISTS & ENGINEERS.” But his big night was pretty quickly interrupted by an incident that occurred backstage after his celebration. That resulted in him being arrested and led out of the event in handcuffs. Video of him being taken out hit the internet shortly after and left fans seeking out an explanation.

In the weeks that followed Mike hit up numerous talk shows and radio spots. There he discussed his big win and subsequent arrest. But as he’s known to do he sparked some controversy during a handful of his appearances for various comments. That got fans looking into his past where one person on Twitter honed in on a clip from his Netflix docuseries Trigger Warning. In the clip, Mike is speaking to a classroom full of children and gives one kid in particular some controversial advice. “You owe your parents not to dream big. You owe it to your parents to dream practical and start making money as soon as you can. You’re not going to be able to be president,” Mike says. Check out the full video below.

Clip From “Trigger Warning With Killer Mike” Resurfaces Online

After enough fans responded to the clip, Killer Mike himself posted a reply. But to the dismay of many fans he seemingly dodged the actual issue at hand. Instead Mike chose to focus on semantics. “it is important u know all the facts. That beautiful Black boy is Canadian and he can NEVER be POTUS however he can be Prime Minister of Canada,” his response tweet reads.

Along his recent press tour Mike has beefed with Kai Cenat, argued with the hosts on The View and made some controversial claims about marriage on a radio show. What do you think of the comments Killer Mike made to a classroom full of children in his Trigger Warning show? Let us know in the comment section below.

NLE Choppa’s Daughter Does The One Bad Word Challenge

February 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

One of the funniest viral trends sweeping through TikTok recently targets parents. The challenge is built around them leaving the room with the promise that their kids can say one bad word while they’re gone. Rappers have already gotten a hold of the trans with a variety of different results. NBA Youngboy’s son got to try the challenge and unloaded more than one bad word. His mother hilarious reacted that he “did too much” when she came back into the room. By comparison, XXXTENTACION’s son skipped on the opportunity to say any bad words at all.

Now, NLE Choppa is the newest rapper to do the challenge. He set it up with his daughter and she did take the chance to say a bad word, but she did it in perhaps the most charming and polite way possible. Fans in the comments couldn’t help but note just how adorable Choppa’s daughter is in the video. “She’s so polite” and “I done awwwww she said it so politely” two of the top comments on the post note. Check out the adorable new video and the fan reactions to it below.

NLE Choppa’s One Bad Word Challenge

Last month, NLE Choppa threw his weight behind a strange rap beef. Yasiin Bey appeared on a podcast and described Drake’s music as being closer to pop than rap because you hear it played in stores while shopping. Choppa came to Drake’s defense in the beef and stood up for his rap cred.

Earlier this year, Choppa teamed up with DJ BOOKER for a new collaborative project. The Chosen Ones is just seven tracks long but spawned a few hit songs with tracks like “MEM” and “Purge On Em.” It’s following up his new album Cottonwood 2 which dropped last year. What do you think of NLE Choppa’s daughter doing the one bad word challenge? Which rapper’s version of the video do you think has been the funniest so far? Let us know in the comment section below.

Drake Shows Collaborator Nickelus F Love After Interview Praise

February 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake is one of the most popular artists in the world by nearly every metric. While there’s nobody in the rap game that can touch him right now in terms of sales, he has had his cred called into question more than once. Most notably, last month Yasiin Bey was asked about his music in an interview. he described the “First Person Shooter” rapper’s sound as being more pop than rap because it’s the kind of thing you’d hear while shopping. That sparked a few responses from Drake and his fans and ultimately resulted in an apology from Bey.

During a recent interview, one of his oldest collaborators was asked about the now massive rapper. Nickelus F worked with Drizzy on mixtapes before he was ever famous and was asked about the rapper’s pen game. He answers claiming that the writing is still “sharp.” Clearly Drake appreciated the compliment and still has a fondness for the work he made with Nickelus because he left a comment on the post. “Forever one of my idols” his comment reads to the tune of more than 500 likes since it was first posted yesterday. Check out the interview and response comment on Instagram below.

Fans are still streaming For All The Dogs and it’s companion EP Scary Hours 3 quite a bit. Numerous songs from the projects are still hovering on the Hot 100. Drake just released the music video for his Sexyy Red and SZA collab “Rich Baby Daddy.” The music video played off of Red’s real life pregnancy. It used a found footage style where the collaborators posed as a family and reacted in real time to Red’s water breaking. The video ends with a hilarious sequence of Red and SZA dancing with her newborn baby. The video has racked up more than 7.5 million views since it dropped last week.

Corey Holcomb & Donnell Rawlings Yelling Match Ensues As Former Disses Dave Chappelle

February 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Patrons at The Laugh Factory this past Sunday (February 18) were expecting a great comedy show, but they weren’t prepared for the drama between two performers at the venue to explode. After Donnell Rawlings finished his set, 55-year-old Corey Holcomb had some jokes to get off, though he notably used his time behind the mic to diss both Rawlings and his friend Dave Chappelle. In a video obtained by TMZ, Holcomb’s audience didn’t seem receptive to him cracking jokes at other Black men’s expense, specifically failing to laugh when he called Chappelle and Rawlings “mild.”

The father of three admitted he might be in the wrong for his comments, but that didn’t stop him from continuing on with his set. What did bring things to a halt was Rawlings’ reaction to the hatred, causing him to stand up out of his seat and curse Holcomb out. “I catch you up in all these rooms in f**king Brooklyn and you ain’t ever f**ked with [unintelligible]… You wanna talk about it? You saying I’m mild, you saying I ain’t come through the streets or the gutters is straight bulls**t.”

Donnell Rawlings Defends Dave Chappelle from Corey Holcomb

Another comment that upset Rawlings is Holcomb’s claim that any comedian who has appeared in three or more movies “has had to perform fellatio on someone” in the entertainment industry. The Wire actor takes this personally, as he has several film credits on his resume, but has never engaged in any sort of sexual favours for them to come to fruition.

It seems that part of what brought Dave Chappelle and Donell Rawlings together as friends may have been their shared need to speak up for what they feel is right. Before the latter defended the former from Corey Holcomb, Chappelle called out Katt Williams for berating several Black comics in his viral Club Shay Shay interview. Read what the Half Baked actor had to say at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Drake Shows Off His Carlton Dance On Stage During Recent Show

February 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Drake’s “It’s All A Blur” tour has been churning away since last year. The tour began with 21 Savage and Sexyy Red on board before transitioning to a second leg earlier this year. The new shows include J. Cole and Lil Durk and have continued to make near nightly news. During a show in Pittsburgh last week, Drizzy unpacked some new dance moves that went viral and had fans cracking jokes, even as he seems to be in on it.

In a new TikTok making the rounds a fan captured Drake doing an instantly recognizable dance move. In the middle of one of his songs he unpacks The Carlton. The dance was made famous by Carlton Banks on The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air and has impressively lasted decades. That longevity certainly isn’t because the dance is necessarily cool. In fact, almost anybody doing it is seemingly well aware of just how silly it can look and the “Rich Baby Daddy” rapper is leaning into that silliness. Check out the video of him doing the dance below.

Drake Shows Off His Dance Moves In New Video

Earlier this month, Drake released the music video for his Sexyy Red and SZA collaboration “Rich Baby Daddy.” The video continued the creative and outside-the-box approach to visuals he’s taken for the entire For All The Dogs era. It comedically played on Sexyy Red’s real life pregnancy with a home movie style video documenting her being rushed to give birth. The video hilarious concludes with Red and SZA dancing alongside the rapper’s new born baby.

One of the fan-favorite cuts from For All The Dogs was “IDGAF” which featured Yeat. Subsequently, Drake repaid the favor recently by appearing on the song “As We Speak” from Yeat’s new album 2093. It was released on a deluxe edition of the album that followed just a day after the original dropped. What do you think of Drake doing The Carleton dance during a recent concert? Do you think the famously goofy dance makes sense for him? Let us know in the comment section below.

Nicki Minaj’s “Pink Friday 2” Tour May Add Katt Williams To Its Lineup

February 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

After a chaotic 2023, many were hoping that 2024 would begin on a calm, cool, and collected note. However, the energy has been anything but that since January, especially in the world of celebrity antics. Things kicked off with Katt Williams’ appearance on Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast, where he addressed issues he’s seeing unfold far beyond the world of comedy as only he can. The entertainer’s candid interview quickly blew up online, making him one of the industry’s most sought-after comedians at this time. Williams is currently touring his act across the country and even brought Mo’Nique out to help him for recent performances. As it turns out, Nicki Minaj is also burning to work with the 52-year-old.

Earlier this week, the Queen of Rap went Live on Instagram to put out a request for the booked and busy comedian. “I know that this is the busiest man in show business, ok?” Minaj assured her viewers. “I know that he’s rich, and I know that he’s the funniest man in showbiz. Can y’all hit up Katt Williams and ask him what would be his price… To be a part of the Pink Friday 2 Gag City Tour?”

According to Vibe, the mother of one’s rep, she’s serious about working with Williams and is willing to pay him what he’s worth. We’ve already seen the choreography that Minaj’s team has been perfecting for weeks now, though we’re curious to see how a comedy act will fit into her performance plans.

As Nicki Minaj waits to find out if Katt Williams is down to join her in Gag City this spring, her other accompanying acts are busy preparing their parts of the show too. Among them is 43-year-old Monica, who’s currently facing accusations of getting a BBL but not telling her fans after a recent performance in Atlanta. Read what the R&B icon had to say about that gossip at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Chloe Bailey Shares A Cover Of Muni Long’s Hit “Made For Me”

February 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Fans of Chloe Bailey are primarily used to one thing on her Instagram, stunning fit pics. Nearly every function she attends and even some of her own vacations are retreats are often accompanied by pictures showing off her good looks and good taste. But she’s also not shy about sharing her own version of other hit songs by some of her contemporaries. Last year, she shared a video singing one of the biggest rap songs of the year, Gunna’s “fukumean.” Now she’s taken on a breakthrough R&B track from early 2024 to give her take on the song.

That track is “Made For Me” by Muni Long. It’s a follow-up to her breakthrough hit “Hrs & Hrs” from 2022 that’s off to a great start on the charts. The song currently sits inside the top 30 with the chance to potentially climb even higher in later weeks. Now Bailey is cosigning the song while also sharing her own rendition of it. She posted the video to social media earlier this week where fans once again praised her raw vocal talent. Check out the full video and some of the fan reactions to it below.

Last year, Chloe helped bat back rumors that her sister and musical collaborator Halle Bailey was secretly pregnant. Despite how much they fought back fan speculation, Halle was actually pregnant the entire time. She gave birth to her first child last month, at which point everyone involved opened up on the relief of no longer having to keep the secret.

A few weeks later she described the pregnancy as the “best kept secret ever.” Many fans fought back at that suggestion citing just how much speculation swirled about her potentially being pregnant for months before she gave birth. What do you think of Chloe Bailey’s take on the Muni Long song “Made For Me?” Do you think “Made For Me” has the potential to be one of the biggest R&B hits of the year? Let us know in the comment section below.

Beyonce Called Out For Taking Publishing Rights From Songwriters By Tiffany Red

February 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Fans of music are no strangers to hearing stories about shady dealings behind the scenes. A lot of the time that comes from artists themselves who reveal after the fact that they were locked into predatory record contracts. That also comes to light when there are public disputes between artists and labels. For much of 2023 pop singer Sky Ferreira made a public spat over her label refusing to release her new album for years. But now one of the biggest artists in all of music, Beyonce, is being accused of her own allegedly unfair behavior towards songwriters.

In a recently shared video, songwriter TIffany Red makes some allegations about the singer. She starts the clip off by complimenting Bey, describing her as the Michael Jackson of her generation. But that also means she could potentially have the power to change some of the mechanisms of the music industry. But she goes on to cite specific examples of songs from Beyonce’s album Renaissance. She claims that they had been written years before the album was assembled. Despite that she says that Bey got 25% of the publishing rights for the tracks. You can tell from her reaction alone that she thinks that number is drastically unfair, but not everyone in the comments agrees with her. Check out her video and some of the reactions to it below.

Beyonce Accused Of Taking Too Much In Publishing Rights

Some of the top comments on the post disagree with Red’s take. “If you don’t wanna give Beyoncé 25% of your publishing then don’t sell your song to beyonce. Go sell it to Lumidee. beyonce isn’t forcing you to work with her. You want to write for beyonce because it’s BEYONCE and that is why she gets publishing,” the most liked response to her post reads.

What do you think of Beyonce taking a 25% cut of publishing rights for other songwriter’s songs? Do you think the number is too high and songwriters should be paid more? Let us know in the comment section below.

Fivio Foreign Opens Up on Guidance He Received From The Hip-Hop Police

February 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last week, Fivio Foreign dropped his new album Pain & Love 2. The project is his first since 2022’s B.I.B.L.E and once again sports some impressive features. Vory, Lil Tjay, Swae Lee, Meek Mill, 41, Sheff G, Popcaan, and Rowdy Rebel all appear in the tracklist of the album. Singles from the project like “Get Deady” and “Same 24” are already racking up millions of streams and the sales numbers from the album’s first week will drop over the weekend.

As a result of the new album dropping Fivio has been making the rounds on various interview shows. During an appearance on The Breakfast Club, Fivio made some interesting revelations about his interactions with the NYPD’s “hip-hop police.” He cited a specific officer whom the hosts of the show were already familiar with. He explains that the officer in question gave him some advice that made him change his approach. The officer specifically warns him to make the most of the opportunity he’s been given to succeed in rap and not waste it like others have. Surprisingly, Fivio seemed to take the advice to heart and implement it in his life and career. Check out the full interview clip below.

Earlier this month Fivio Foreign did an interview that was much more directly controversial. Mainly because he spoke on the Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion shooting incident. While on the show he spread some misinformation about the case that has long been debunked. Unsurprisingly, fans in the comments called him out, though it’s unclear if anything about his position on the case actually changed.

During that same interview, he discussed the moves he made after signing his first rap deal. He dug into some of the mistakes he made after getting a large sum of money for the very first time. What do you think of Fivio Foreign’s story about advice one of NYPD’s Hip-Hop Police team members gave him? Let us know in the comment section below.
