Janet Jackson Sparks Outrage Online For Her Controversial Kamala Harris Take

September 21, 2024 by newhiphopnews

A lot of celebrities these days are endorsing either Kamala Harris or Donald Trump for U.S. President, whether their takes are based in actual policy agreements or not. Moreover, it’s been a controversial ride to see what discussions, debates, and combative back-and-forths occur as a result, especially in the hip-hop world. However, outside of that conversation, Janet Jackson recently ruffled a lot of feathers online during her recent interview with The Guardian. In it, the interviewer asked her about the prospect of potentially getting the first female president – and the first Black female president – in United States history.

“Well, you know what they supposedly said?” Janet Jackson asked the interviewer, who had asked the singer this Kamala Harris question due to her own references to social justice and racial equity. “She’s not Black. That’s what I heard. That she’s Indian.” “Well, she’s both,” the interviewer replied, referencing Harris’ Jamaican father and Kamala’s mother’s view of her as a Black daughter. “Her father’s white,” Janet responded. “That’s what I was told. I mean, I haven’t watched the news in a few days. I was told that they discovered her father was white.”

Then, the interviewer asked Janet Jackson whether she thinks that the United States is “ready for [Kamala Harris]” as, if not a Black woman, then as a woman of color. “I don’t know,” she posited. “Honestly, I don’t want to answer that because I really, truthfully, don’t know. I think either way it goes is going to be mayhem.” Of course, this led to a whole variety of reactions from fans who came across this, as they either agree with the Las Vegas concert resident or condemned her assessment of Harris’ racial identity. You can see some of these takes down below.

Elsewhere, Janet Jackson shocked fans recently for much less serious reasons: her relation to a whole lot of celebrities. “[Stevie Wonder is] our cousin. Not a lot of people know that,” she said on BBC Radio 2. “He’s our cousin on my mother’s side. So is Tracy Chapman.” So is Samuel L. Jackson, apparently. Talent runs in the family…

Ralo Gets Called Out For “Weird” Behavior At Rich Homie Quan’s Funeral

September 19, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week, a funeral service for Rich Homie Quan was hosted in South Fulton, Georgia. Several family members and friends gathered to pay their respects. According to DJ Pretty Boy Tank, however, not everyone was respectful. He took to Twitter/X recently to call out Ralo, accusing him of behaving inappropriately at the event.

“He was sitting behind me in the funeral being weird & talking the entire time .. Even said he almost went live in the services smh,” he wrote. “Buddy kept blowing his nose like a trumpet too … Almost had to curse a lady out for taking a pic of the casket as well .. Yall be acting weird as hell at known people’s funerals.”

Ralo Comes To His Own Defense After DJ Pretty Boy Tank Puts Him On Blast

When asked why he didn’t step in at the time, he said that he was simply not in the mood due to the circumstances. “Bruh if you sitting inside a funeral service for your brother you’re automatically mourning and not in a mood to say anything especially if you’re trying to drown him out and listen to the speakers. I’ll happily share my grievances with buddy now that my mood isn’t as bad,” he explained.

Ralo took to his own account to fire back today, denying ever having his phone out during the funeral. “Not one person on this earth can show Wea I pulled a phone out Inside that man funeral,” he claimed. “Every body at the graves site had they phone out but they wanna come to Ralo. Matter fact what other rappers was there other than me and Boosie????” What do you think of Ralo getting called out for his questionable behavior at Rich Homie Quan’s funeral? Do you agree that he should have kept a low profile to avoid bothering the late rapper’s loved ones? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Jay Critch Gets Into “1 Vs 6” Brawl With Trollers In New York

September 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Overall, Jay Critch comes across as one of those MCs who stays to himself for the most part. He’s rarely causing drama in the public eye and seems pretty humble. Unfortunately, the Brooklyn veteran has occasionally gotten tangled up in some street fights here and there. It’s nothing that’s too out of the ordinary in general, but for some reason that’s what seems to be a reoccurring thing here and there. For example, around this time two years ago, Critch went viral for getting into it outside of a New Jersey nightclub alongside some of his boys.

Ironically, the Humble Giant is making headlines for the same reason again as video footage below shows. It isn’t much, as the clip is only five seconds. But it appears that Critch was jumped in the streets of New York as an assailant hits him in the face with what is said to be his shoes. Like the NJ debacle, there isn’t any word on how things unraveled. But unlike last time, we have some physical evidence of Critch and one of his alleged “6” attackers jawing at each other after the fight online.

“I popped on U first 1 vs 6 and left chains. U Lost”, the MC says to the user dottydot_ on IG. He then replies, “@jaycritch I beat you out ua sneakers before they even got there, and I let you have ya chain”, he began. “I took it off ya neck…. You thought it was lit when you backed out that camera dummy”. Later, to try and put away any doubts that Critch wasn’t telling truth, he added on his IG Story, “End of story!”, with his aforementioned quote above. Maybe this time we will learn the cause of this brief and viral clip.

What are your thoughts on Jay Critch getting jumped and punched in the face in New York? What do you think escalated this brawl? Whose side do you believe more in this debate? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Jay Critch. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Latto Fans Barely Recognize Her In Teenage Rap Video

September 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Latto has been rapping for a long time, as she has plenty of old performance clips from when she was just a teenager. However, a new example of this that hit the Internet this week might be the most unrecognizable and shocking yet. Moreover, it’s a music video of her with two friends rapping over a trap beat that sounds right out of the early 2010s, and this is when she was still going by “Miss Mulatto.” In it, the Atlanta femcee has some fun in front of a green screen and delivers a charismatic verse with a much higher pitch than what you’ll find on Sugar Honey Iced Tea.

It’s always heartening and at least pretty cool to see where rappers came from, especially when they are such huge stars now. It also goes to show that Latto’s been about female rap from the jump, even if some shade she sent Ice Spice’s way might put that in question for some today. Nevertheless, everybody has to start somewhere. Setting up the timeline for her artistic evolution reveals a pretty step-by-step progression thanks to videos like these.

Latto’s Been Rapping For A Long

What’s more is that 2024 is the perfect time to look back on Latto’s humble beginnings since this has arguably been her biggest 12 months yet. In fact, she was named “Trapper Of The Year” at T.I.’s Trap Music Museum in Atlanta, which is the highest honor because it’s a source of hometown pride. Of course, we can’t discount 2023 either, which held “Put It On Da Floor” and all the groundwork that provided this massive 2024 in the first place. Much like this old rap video, it’s always important to connect the dots and understand that there’s levels to the amount of work hip-hop’s icons have to put in.

Even though Sugar Honey Iced Tea didn’t perform the best commercially, that doesn’t reflect the dominant conversation that Latto was at the center of this year. There’s a lot of ink over the state of female rap and their interpersonal career dynamics, and she’s been a big part of that discussion for better or worse. Ultimately, we’re just excited to see what 2025 looks like and what the next evolution will be. Maybe we’ll look back on this moment years down the line in the same way that we admire this music video.

Playboi Carti Previews New Song For An Infant In Viral Clip

September 16, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Playboi Carti has been a major talking point in the hip-hop world this weekend for a couple of reasons. For one, he finally gave us more details on his in-demand project, I AM MUSIC. The eventual third album doesn’t have a release date still, but we now have an album cover (multiple ones at that), bundles and merch, as well as a lead single. “ALL RED” looks to be just that despite all of the previous IG and YouTube exclusive releases we got earlier this year. While there is a healthy number of people that are messing with the song, there’s an equally large camp that’s not.

Carti pretty much sounds like Future on the cut, and with how long listeners have waited on him, they felt let down. But rest assured, there’s still tons of hype surrounding this release. Just check out this little boy’s reaction to another new song snippet. The video is going quite viral, as Carti and the infant hilariously but adorably share a wholesome moment in public.

For about 20 seconds both of them dance together and even share a high five at the end of it. Fans made some comical remarks about the clip but are also excited about the track’s potential. “Lil bro dont know who carti is or anything just vibin to the music. Best way to know your music hitting”, one IG user says. Another says, “that might be the best sounding snippet of all time”. “Baby knows it’s a classic”, someone else adds. It definitely has an ear-grabbing sound to it, and Carti is seemingly bringing back the OG delivery for this one, too. Obviously, there’s no word on if this will drop, but we hope it does soon.

What are your thoughts on Playboi Carti previewing a new song for a baby in public? Is this one of the most random yet adorable videos you have seen this year? Are you still excited for I AM MUSIC to drop soon? How do you feel about “ALL RED”? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Playboi Carti. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the music world.

Joe Budden Questions The Shannon Sharpe Sex Tape Scandal

September 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The Joe Budden Podcast and its titular host recently discussed the Shannon Sharpe scandal on their show. “That’s what people are saying,” he responded to Flip’s assessment that Shannon Sharpe wanted to prove non-heterosexuality rumors wrong. “Let’s slow down, because both of those are very important points and I don’t want to breeze by either of them,” referencing Parks’ skepticism that this was an accident. “People are saying that he did this in response to some of the allegations and rumors that have been attached to his name.”

“I’m not all the way mad at that,” Joe Budden said of Parks’ idea that Sharpe went Live intentionally to promote his Nightcap podcast sponsors, which are erection pills. “My problem with what Flip is saying, if that’s true, and the rumors are right that he’s responding to something… Oh, f**k, I don’t even want to be the one to say it, but I’ma say it. The problem with that is that I don’t think that people were saying that Shannon Sharpe is gay. Yeah, [they were], but that’s reckless Internet chatter. I think what they was saying is that Shannon Sharpe is bi. I don’t think anybody doubts that Shannon Sharpe was sleeping with women. But in today’s society, if you’re not part of that community, you might view that as gay.

— joebuddenclips (@Chatnigga101) September 14, 2024

“So him f***ing a girl, I don’t think really clears nothing up,” Joe Budden continued. “I wish they had texted me in the think tank or the group chat. But there’s nobody to say that as soon as Michelle left, Daryl didn’t come in there and get crazy. I’m saying this: Michelle don’t disprove that Daryl’s in the Uber. I know I shouldn’t be the one to say that. No, I’m not saying that I believe that. Now, back to Parks’ point. I’m with you, let’s get to it. It is difficult to Insta Live by mistake. And we want to give grace to our elders. Technology can be difficult. He’s already said that he’s never Insta Live’d before in his entire life.

“But that’s part of what made me look at him funny,” Joe Budden concluded. “Because if you’ve never Insta Live’d before in your life, then when you get to that screen, I don’t think it’s just going to be on Live. You’ve never used it. I’m assuming that. Now, I’m just here to speculate and have fun with this s**t. Everything he’s saying could be 100% the truth. I wouldn’t know, I have put the phone in my pocket before and it did some s**t. Called somebody, took a picture, it’s done something.”

Playboi Carti Responds To Adin Ross’ Reaction To His New Song “ALL RED”

September 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Playboi Carti and Adin Ross have a pretty complicated relationship these days. This is because of their disastrous livestream from back in February that allegedly cost the streamer $2 million for just about ten minutes of very limited conversation with the Atlanta creative. Since then, Ross hasn’t been very pro-Carti. That being said, feelings change over time, and the new hype behind his I AM MUSIC album rollout could change this dynamic somewhat. Moreover, the Kick giant’s reaction to the new track “ALL RED” shows that he can separate his personal experiences with the artist from his enjoyment of the music itself.

“Nah, this s**t hard, though,” Adin Ross said at one point of his recent livestream, and Playboi Carti even responded to this via his Instagram account. “@adinross YOU AINT GOT TO LIKE ME BUT I RESPECT YOU KEEPING IT REAL ABOUT MY MUSIC SOME S**T JUST UNDENIABLE,” he captioned a post of a screenshot of Ross’ stream. Carti’s new track wasn’t as well received by everyone, though, but the social media personality’s short words on the subject actually sum up the general consensus quite well.

— Akademiks TV (@AkademiksTV) September 13, 2024

However, “ALL RED” also resulted in some legitimate confusion, albeit mostly critical comparisons. Fans couldn’t tell whether or not this was a new Playboi Carti song or a new Future track, pointing out the vocal and flow similarities between both rappers. Carti’s usually someone who pulls from his own unique arsenal of voices, but this deep-voiced experimentation might be his riskiest vocal move yet. Either way, there are plenty of other fans who love this style and how it’s evolved from early displays like “FE!N.” Actually, it’s wild to think how little time it took for this to become a trademark sound in the King Vamp catalog.

Nevertheless, if you still feel like he sounds like Future, we understand. Regardless, Adin Ross’ reaction to “ALL RED” shows that things don’t always have to stay personal, resulting in mutual respect. Elsewhere, Playboi Carti also hyped up more collaborations with Kanye West on I AM MUSIC (or just MUSIC? We’ll find out…). There’s a lot to express excitement over these days, so let’s just be patient for what’s to come.

ESPN Faces Double Standard Backlash For Keeping Shannon Sharpe But Firing Paul Pierce

September 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Shannon Sharpe’s accidental Instagram Live session that caught him at an intimate moment is still the talk of the town, especially with theories that this was no accident. Regardless, all of that fell under the rug once ESPN announced that they would not punish him for this incident. This raised a lot of eyebrows since the organization fired Paul Pierce in 2021 for going on IG Live with scantily clad women and what appeared to be marijuana. Some social media users think that this is a clear case of double standards, whereas others think that intent versus accident is a key differentiating factor. Wherever you stand, check out more diverse reactions in the post below.

Furthermore, a lot of other pop culture figures are speaking on this whole Shannon Sharpe incident, including some recent advice from Kai Cenat. “Hey, Shannon, stop being so freaky, bro,” the streamer said during Sharpe’s “roast” on the Nightcap podcast alongside Ochocinco, Snoop Dogg, Cam Newton, and more. “Next time, put your phone all the way in the next room, alright? Before you get that p***y, bro, put the phone in the next room, okay?”

ESPN‘s Verdict On Shannon Sharpe Causes Controversy Over Paul Pierce Firing

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

“I’m very disappointed in myself I let a lot of people down,” Shannon Sharpe said of the incident, positing that it was unintentional and speaking on his embarrassment. “My kids, I reached out to them. I called my sister, my friends obviously reached out. […] I came in, threw my phone on the bed. And then engaged in an activity. […] I don’t know how [Instagram Live] works,” he added, explaining that this is the first time that he’s ever gone Live.

Amid the many reactions to Shannon Sharpe’s incident, Rick Ross’ roast was among the funniest. “Ayo, Shannon Sharpe,” he teased. “We forgive you ’cause we know you old n***as don’t know how to work that technology. You was vibing with your little shone last night. You were trying to film it and when you tried to sit that motherf***er down on that little dresser, that motherf***er went live.” We’ll see what other jokes, developments, and debates emerge concerning this situation and ESPN‘s controversial response.

Cam’ron & Mase Have A Wild Theory About Shannon Sharpe’s Instagram Sex Scandal

September 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

If you haven’t heard what happened with Shannon Sharpe and you’d rather keep your innocent energies intact for today… Maybe you should stop reading here. But for the rest of the world, the Internet is going wild with memes, jokes, reactions, and questions concerning Shannon Sharpe’s recent Instagram Live. He had apparently never gone Live before and accidentally did so while he was sharing an intimate moment with a partner. Moreover, Cam’ron and Mase (and guest Michael Irvin) discussed this bizarre moment on their sports talk show It Is What It Is, and they have a staggering theory as to why this is the new hot topic of discussion. Well… Cam discussed it, since he had to update a puzzled Mase on what was going on

Cam’ron posited that Shannon Sharpe went live during intercourse on purpose, something that he denies outright. He suggested that it was because the former football star hadn’t gone viral in a while, and also theorized that you need to press way too many buttons to go on IG Live for this to be a mistake. For what it’s worth, Sharpe first characterized this leak as a hack by taking to his Instagram Story. Later on, during a new episode of the Night Cap podcast with Ochocinco, he issued a formal apology and explained that it was an accident on his behalf.

It Is What It Is Discusses The Shannon Sharpe Situation

Elsewhere, Cam’ron just kept clowning the situation itself, whether it was the loudness of the vocals in the leaked clip or how much he bragged in his apology video. Irvin didn’t really say much on the matter, but he did call it very interesting. Mase, on the other hand, had some funny reactions and first-time observations about the whole thing. Needless to say, Shannon Sharpe is probably quite embarrassed about everything, but also likely amused by all the reactions and discussions.

Meanwhile, this comes as ESPN has decided what will happen to Shannon Sharpe as a result. Do you think this was a fair outcome or that something else should’ve been the answer? Either way, Club Shay Shay has jokes for months now. Pretty much every future guest will probably tease him over it, and we’re sure that he will tease them back.

Kendrick Lamar Dug Up An eBay Listing For New Song’s Cover Art

September 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Whenever Kendrick Lamar drops something, you can bet on a whole lot of content in the aftermath that breaks down all the details we didn’t catch on first listen, whether they’re reaches or not. However, sometimes this process can be as simple as tracing back the origins of a certain image. Moreover, Internet sleuths found out that the cover art for his new untitled song, commonly referred to as “Watch The Party Die” online, actually comes from a $70 eBay listing for a pair of black used ’82 Nike Air Force 1s. In fact, the listing sold that very same night that the song came out (Wednesday, September 11).

Furthermore, folks are obviously dissecting a lot of other aspects about this new Kendrick Lamar song and reacting to it appropriately. As you can imagine, the OVO team – including Mr. “Weird Case” Baka Not Nice – isn’t very happy about this song coming out, or thinks it’s not worth anyone’s time. But for pgLang-heads and hip-hop fans at large on any side of the fence, it’s very exciting to see this rollout kick into full-ish gear. Let’s see what that lead single sounds like…

Kendrick Lamar Lurked On eBay For New Song’s Cover Art

A post shared by RapTV (@rap)

Elsewhere, a lot of fans are also breaking down what Kendrick Lamar had to say to Drake on this new track. However, it’s not much. On this new record, there are many reflections on the battle and what happened between these MCs, but nothing in the way of new criticisms, attacks, or specific or subliminal shots. Instead, the criticisms on “Watch The Party Die” are more general towards the industry and state of the culture as a whole, much like K.Dot’s “The Heart” series. As such, calling this “the start of Round 2” after both sides seemed to sidestep it is a mischaracterization on many fans’ behalf.

Still, it doesn’t mean that this new Kendrick Lamar song didn’t light another fire under the game for a minute. DJ Akademiks was one of many who went absolutely wild online with their reactions and assessments. Sometimes, these folks are very critical of these moves, whereas others couldn’t be more praiseful. In any case, we’re all excited to see what happens next, and we’re sure that this eBay buyer and seller still can’t believe that they’re a party of hip-hop history now.
