Ice Spice Provokes Even More Fan Concern Over Her Weight Loss Thanks To Revealing Selfie

December 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ice Spice already seems to have addressed the backlash to her weight loss, but fans won’t give up on this narrative just yet. Moreover, a recent top-down selfie of hers sparked even more concern over her slim figure, regardless of whether or not it’s what she’s shooting for. Fans seem particularly worried about the Bronx femcee’s visible bone structures and about just how drastic the physical transformation has been. Of course, this is just social media gossip and speculation, as she herself seems committed to her fitness journey and to this new look. So we can’t tell if the haters are really keeping the 24-year-old’s best health interests at heart or if they just prefer her previous build.

In either case, Ice Spice is just enjoying her life right now and is probably letting all this roll off her shoulder. After all, she has more grand things to attend to, such as a recent SKIMS store opening in New York City that she supported Kim Kardashian at. But despite all these high-profile celebrity developments, the online hate train is chugging along at a steady pace thanks to this weight loss debate. Hopefully one day we reach a point where we primarily talk about the music that artists dropped this year instead of focusing on their personal lives.

Elsewhere, Ice Spice has just been dealing with other pitfalls of fame, such as recent legal action against her for allegedly stealing another artist’s song. Specifically, Brooklyn rapper D.Chamberz alleged that “In Ha Mood” is “strikingly similar” to his 2021 cut “In That Mood.” She ended up settling the lawsuit with Chamberz, so we don’t really have many details as to whether or not she or her team admitted to any alleged wrongdoing.

As for this weight loss debacle, some fans are alleging Ozempic use whereas others aren’t thinking about it so deeply. Usually celebrities face the opposite beauty standards, so it’s been bizarre to see Ice Spice garner these reactions. Nevertheless, we hope that this dramatic transformation is all by design, and if that’s what she wants, then we hope fans turn more supportive with time.

Lizzo Flaunts More Weight Loss At Thanksgiving Dinner

December 1, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lizzo continues to captivate fans, this time showcasing her striking weight loss transformation while preparing for Thanksgiving. The singer, known for her charisma and confidence, shared a video flaunting her sleek figure in a curve-hugging floral dress. She accompanied the post with the playful caption, “Y’all weren’t the only ones eating yesterday.” This glimpse into her holiday celebration marks the second time in a week that Lizzo has drawn attention to her evolving appearance. Her weight loss journey has received mixed reactions, with her responding to it on multiple occasions.

Last week, she stunned her Instagram followers with photos revealing her new look, sparking admiration and conversation. Although Lizzo hasn’t explicitly addressed her weight loss journey, it seems to align with her recent public focus on health and fitness. The transformation comes after Lizzo became a subject of satire in South Park earlier this year. Rather than retreating, she met the moment with humor and resilience. She not only embraced a disciplined workout routine, sharing gym updates with her fans but also leaned into the joke by dressing as “Lizzozempic,” a parody Ozempic character inspired by her, for Halloween.

Lizzo’s boldness and ability to turn public commentary into moments of self-expression continue to resonate. Whether on stage, online, or celebrating with loved ones, she remains a symbol of empowerment and authenticity. Her journey reflects not just physical changes but also an enduring spirit that inspires fans worldwide. Many have recognized her photos as “thirst traps.”

Outside of the thirst traps, the singer has been having fun with friends on livestream. Last week, Lizzo and SZA spent a day with Kai Cenat during his month-long livestream, known as “Marathon 2.” During the stream, Lizzo trolled SZA with the new catchphrase “Mustard” from Kendrick Lamar’s new GNX album, which features SZA on a couple of tracks. Lizzo has had a rollercoaster 2024 that includes her working on new music.

Jelly Roll Reveals How He’s Lost Over 100 Pounds This Year

November 20, 2024 by newhiphopnews

How did Jason Bradley DeFord get the name he uses professionally, Jelly Roll? “My mother named me that whenever I was a little chubby kid,” the “I Am Not Okay” singer once explained on The Bobby Bones Show. “Been fat my whole life. I spent the next 30 years trying to grow into the name, I think I’ve done it. I obviously look the part.”

That’s beginning to change, however.

Jelly Roll has lost over 100 pounds this year alone, including 60 to 70 pounds since his Beautifully Broken Tour kicked off in August. “The battle was with the food addiction, changing the way I’ve looked at food for the last 39 years,” he shared to People. “I’ve never had a healthy relationship with food, so that was the hard part. But once you get into that discipline and commitment, it’s like an avalanche. Once that little snowball started rolling, it was on its way.”

He continued, “It’s cool because there was once a time in life that the culture I built on tour was the opposite. It revolved around alcohol and drugs. And now our tour culture is around good eating and around exercising and doing emotional check-ins with our crew every day… I hope I continue to lose this weight.”

Next year, Jelly Roll is hitting the road with Post Malone on The Big Ass Stadium Tour. You can see the dates here.

Lizzo Laughs Off Antonio Brown’s Latest Jabs About Ozempic

November 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lizzo has responded to Antonio Brown’s latest jokes about her recent weight loss, in which he accused her of using Ozempic. Following the 2024 election, in which Donald Trump defeated Kamala Harris, Lizzo had posted a video of herself writing a message to her followers. “She hold the pen like she hold her ozempic shot…” Brown wrote on X (formerly Twitter) in response. The following day, Lizzo uploaded a series of pictures of herself on Instagram with the caption: “Holding life like an ozempic pen..”

Fans in the comments section of Lizzo’s post are loving the response. “Even if you were on ozempic, SO WHAT? Even if you got weight loss surgery, SO WHAT? People are weird. Go put that energy where it matters like that debt and student loans, yo mamas bills,” one user wrote. Another added: “Ozempic or not, you look amazing! And i love how you’re laughing at the ‘jokes.’”

Lizzo Endorses Kamala Harris

Lizzo has been open about her weight-loss journey throughout the year. Speaking with The New York Times back in March, she explained how the progress has been slow but steady. “I’ve been methodical, losing weight very slowly,” she told the outlet. “I don’t really see it because if anyone who’s on a natural weight-loss journey knows, losing weight is actually the slowest thing in the world and you don’t really notice it until you notice it.”

Lizzo Fires Back At Antonio Brown

Check out Lizzo and Antonio Brown back and forth on social media below. It’s far from the first time the former NFL wide receiver has made headlines for his trolling online. In recent weeks, he also endorsed Donald Trump for president of the United States.

Lizzo Reveals Daring Halloween Costume Clapping Back At “South Park” Ozempic Jokes

October 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lizzo is getting ready to have a good time during Halloween, and she took jokes made at her expense as fuel for a creative costume. Moreover, she recently took to Instagram with various photo dumps of her self-proclaimed “LizzOzempic” costume, which plays off of a recent South Park parody that presented her and her music as an alternative to the weight loss medication. In the episode, the joke is that the “medication” would make users “not give a f**k” about their weight. The Detroit native is very happy to do so, and to continue to advocate for body positivity and confident self-worth.

“That’s crazy!” Lizzo had said while reacting to the South Park skit online. “I just feel like, damn, I’m really that b***h. I’m really that b***h! I really showed the world how to love yourself and not give a f**k to the point where these… men in Colorado know who the f**k I am and put it on their cartoon that’s been around for 25 years. I’m really that b***h and I showed y’all how not to give a f**k and I’ma keep on showing you how not to give a f**k. Oh, oh, oh, oh, Lizzo, b***h!” she sang at the end of her TikTok video.

If you’re curious, you can check out more of Lizzo’s posts showing off her “LizzOzempic” costume by clicking the “Via” link down below. This cheeky costume comes as she recently gave a pretty light response to allegations that she’s using Ozempic on her fitness and weight loss journey. In fact, the 36-year-old seems very pleased with them in a certain sense, as they let her know that her hard work is paying off. If exercise prompts those rumors, then she’s happy to keep pumping iron and loving herself with no need for medication.

Elsewhere, another big story around Lizzo these days surrounds the allegations against her about her supposed creation of a hostile work environment. When asked about the matter at Fortune‘s “Most Powerful Women” event, she declined to elaborate on it and instead called to attention the event’s focus on fostering strong female leaders and forces. As for the allegations themselves, a court of law has yet to make heads or tails of the situation in its entirety.

Fat Joe Reveals He’s Down 200 Pounds After Taking Ozempic

October 15, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Fat Joe revealed that he’s been taking Ozempic as a way to treat diabetes during a recent interview with Us Weekly. The conversation about his weight loss began with him explaining how his diet has changed for the better.

“We just try to eat everything with the least carbs as possible,” Joe told the outlet. “So we try to stay away from the bread, the pasta, the rice. That’s the smartest way to eat.” He added that carbs are still necessary so it’s all about balance. “Like this morning I ate breakfast, I had this toast. I cut the corner off, ate it, and kept it moving,” he added. “Normally I would’ve ate [sic] the whole thing. But you know, that’s what we do. We cut carbs and try to be smarter.”

From there, Joe revealed that he’s also been taking Ozempic as a way to treat diabetes. “Ozempic says you may only have two pieces of your favorite stuff,” he remarked. Joe also joked about how his wife, Lorena Cartagena, likes his larger size. “My wife would kill me. She likes me being a big boy,” Joe shared. “She hallucinates like I’m still that big boy, she loves that.” After his revelations from the interview went viral, Joe confirmed to TMZ that’s he’s dealt with diabetes since a teenager and is also down 200 pounds.

Fans will be able to get a look at Joe’s weight loss when he hosts the BET Hip Hop Awards later tonight. “It’s the culture, you know, and it’s one of the few chances where we get to see our camaraderie and link up with other artists that we love,” he told Us Weekly regarding the event. “Whether they may be the OGs or may be the youngest thing, smoking and representing the culture. That’s what my whole life is built on. So to be the host is a big honor.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Fat Joe on HotNewHipHop.

Diddy Theory About Him Losing Weight In Jail Allegedly Disproved

October 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

One of the unexpected results of a court hearing in the Diddy case on Thursday (October 10) was that people started to theorize about his appearance. Never mind his third bail rejection: folks also talked about how he allegedly lost weight while behind bars as he waits for trial for alleged sex trafficking charges, among others. Well, according to allegedly close sources that reportedly spoke to TMZ, this is an inaccurate assumption. The alleged sources claim that Sean Combs actually lost a lot of weight before his arrest last month due to a dietary, physical, and mental health regimen.

This follows allegations from Diddy’s lawyer Marc Agnifilo that his biggest struggle in prison is actually the food. “I think the food’s probably the roughest part of it,” he told reporters after their Thursday hearing concluded, per People. The publication also spoke to a source that spoke on the Bad Boy mogul’s children and mother attending the hearing. ““The kids were very happy to support their father. The whole family was. They are united in their support and he was happy to see them all there,” the alleged source expressed.

Elsewhere in the Diddy case, the federal government has allegedly responded to his defense team’s accusations that they leaked information to the press, specifically the footage of him attacking Cassie back in 2016. “The Government did not possess the video published by CNN prior to its public release, and the Government possessed no surveillance video at all from the Intercontinental prior to CNN’s public broadcast,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson reportedly wrote to Marc Agnifilo. “Accordingly, we wish to advise you that we consider any assertion in your motion of a purported Government leak related to the Intercontinental surveillance video to lack a good faith basis.”

In addition, this Thursday hearing also indicated the potential trial start date of May 5, 2025, although it’s unclear if this is official yet. Nevertheless, the federal case moved along with a lot of updates this week, and it looks like we can cross Diddy’s alleged weight loss off that list. We’re sure we will hear many more alleged details about his status and the allegations against him in the near future.

Cardi B Flaunts Her Post-Pregnancy Body & Weight Loss In Stunning New Look

September 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

After giving birth to her third child, Cardi B didn’t take long before heading back to the gym and working hard on her post-pregnancy body. As she recently showed off in some Instagram Story posts, this clearly paid off, as fans can’t believe her slim new figure just two weeks out of childbirth. Moreover, the Bronx femcee took to the social media platform on Saturday (September 21) to flaunt her geisha-inspired fit ahead of a friend’s themed party at a New York City nightclub. We have to commend her for not only living up to her own expectations and goals, but for also being very transparent about this as a personal process, not something that anyone else needs to live up to.

However, these new developments in Cardi B’s life aren’t always positive. For example, she recently had to say goodbye to her good friend Star Brim due to her prison sentence on RICO charges, and it was a pretty emotional moment. While some might assume that these circumstances could drive friends apart, it seems like they actually feel stronger in their bond due to their sadness over this situation. We’ll see whether Cardi provides us with updates on Star Brim’s status or if they will instead reconnect further down the line.

Elsewhere, Cardi B is dealing with a lawsuit over her and Offset allegedly failed to pay for their use of a mansion in a music video. Clearly, it’s not that big of a headache, or else she might not want to party out on the town. But the mother of three already clapped back at these claims, so we’ll see if anything actually comes of that case. After all, it could just be an easily rectified misunderstanding.

Meanwhile, this is not all that Cardi B’s done to celebrate her post-pregnancy life. A huge part of this, obviously, is just introducing her daughter to the world, including sharing some wholesome moments with her father Offset. We hope that there’s much more where that came from down the line. And in any case, props to Cardi for achieving what she set out to do with her post-pregnancy body.

September 23, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Make it make sense.”
