Killer Mike Reveals Why He & His Wife Were Secretly Married For Years

April 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Killer Mike recently recalled admitting to his wife Shana’s family that the two were secretly married for years. While appearing on the Off Menu podcast with hosts Ed Gamble and James Acaster, Mike explained how the marriage came to be and why they chose to keep it private.

“Within the first two weeks (of dating) I asked her to marry me and she was like, ‘Get the f*ck out of here. You’re a rapper.’ So, after about four or five years, we got really high in Vegas, and really drunk, and I pled my love to her, and we got married in a f*cking drive-through marriage thing with our cab driver as our witness, and then we didn’t tell anybody we were married for nine years,” Mike told Ed and James. “We’ve been married seventeen years now. So, for nine years no one knew, and then we finally had to tell her family – because her family is from Hilton Head Island (in South Carolina) and they’re very traditional… a tight-knit Black family, similar to mine.”

Afterward, he explained he needed Shana’s family’s blessing to build a property and the truth had to come out. “We were talking about building on some land here, we’d like to put a house here, and they were like, ‘Nah, you’re just f*ckingon our niece. What are you gonna do to take it seriously?’” he further recalled. “I was like, ‘Well, we’re already married.’” Luckily for them, the family wasn’t too upset. “No one really likes going to weddings,” Mike joked before adding: “The food is usually sh*tty.” Check out Mike’s full comments below.

Tony Romo Labels Taylor Swift Travis Kelce’s “Wife” During Chiefs’ Game

December 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Tony Romo mistakenly referred to Taylor Swift as the “wife” of Travis Kelce in an awkward slip-up during the Kansas City Chiefs’ loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday afternoon. “As you see Kelce’s wife, Taylor Swift, in the audience…” the former NFL Quarterback said. After a pause and laugh, he corrected himself: “I’m sorry, girlfriend.” He began trending on social media after the moment aired.

Swift’s attendance on Sunday is far from the first time she’s been spotted at a Chiefs’ game. She recently revealed that she and Kelce had been dating for months prior to the public hard launch while being named TIME’s Person of the Year.

“We actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other. By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple,” Swift told TIME. “I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.” In the coming days, Kelce will celebrate Swift’s 34th birthday. According to Page Six, he’s planning “something special” for the singer. Check out Tony Romo’s awkward slip-up from Sunday on Twitter below.

As for Sunday’s loss for the Chiefs, it all came down to an offsides call on Kadarius Toney, who had just scored what appeared to be, at the time, a game-winning touchdown. Instead, the team lost 20-17 and fell to 8-5 on the season, having to fight for home-field advantage in the playoffs.

NBA YoungBoy Warns People To Quit Trying To “Hurt” Him: Watch

December 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

NBA YoungBoy likely sees himself as a lone wolf in the hip-hop industry and the music world at large. That’s not only due to his personality, legal troubles, and life experiences leading up to– and continuing throughout– his career, but also because of the wave of hate he often gets. Sometimes, that’s from established media personalities like Joe Budden, who recently trashed YB’s output and skill level as a whole. But his most recent rant on his Instagram Story doesn’t seem aimed at him at all, but rather a more vague and general set of opps. If you’re a fan, you know how common these threats can be.

“People trying to hurt me,” YoungBoy’s IG Story began with a lot of aggressive energy. “N***as and b***hes, bruh. If you ain’t my wife, you do not dictate my moves. She the only one that could tell me, ‘Bust your a** or let you slide!’ Man, aye, and she the only one that can put me in jail for life. She the only person that I tell everything I do to.” While his praise for his wife seems somewhat wholesome, other statements from him paint a darker picture.

YoungBoy’s Latest Instagram Rant: Watch

Regardless, given the Baton Rouge MC’s deteriorating mental health under house arrest, these attacks are never nice or gratifying to see. Hopefully he can get himself back on track and in a positive space for a more consistent period of time, because he says his hardships are getting to him. Even though NBA YoungBoy’s career remains prolific and satisfying in the eyes of his fans, this is something that they need to prioritize. As he works on his personal struggles and animosities, this also reveals the best and worst parts of isolation that he must balance.

Meanwhile, Joe Budden responded to all the ruckus that his dislike of the 24-year-old caused with little course correction. Of course, his own response to Budden was even more merciless, so we can’t imagine these two will come to amicable terms anytime soon. But if they leave each other alone, then the I Rest My Case artist can find more peace and focus on improving what he wants to work on.

Tyreek Hill Celebrates Touchdown By Giving Ball To His Wife

November 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Tyreek Hill detoured out of the endzone after his tenth score of the season, handing the historic ball to his new wife in the stands. The score came midway through the second quarter of the Dolphins’ game against the Jets, pushing their lead to 10-0 at the time. After celebrating, Hill scanned the crowd until he found his wife, Keeta Vaccaro. He blew Vaccaro a kiss and threw the ball to her before rejoining his teammates on the field. The couple tied the knot on the Dolphins’ bye week two weeks ago.

Furthermore, the touchdown was more than just business as usual. Hill became the first Dolphins receiver to record double-digit touchdowns since 2014. Additionally, Hill is well on his way to posting well over 100 yards against the Jets. That will help Hill continue his march towards a historic 2000-yard season. Hill set the goal for himself before the start of the season and has already racked up over 1200 yards through just 10 games. The current record is 1964 yards, set by Calvin Johnson in 2012.

Parton Praised & Harlow Roasted For Thanksgiving Performances

Meanwhile, a lot of attention has been given to the halftime shows at yesterday’s Thanksgiving games. Dolly Parton and Jack Harlow became a tale of two halftime shows. Harlow kicked off the day with a low-key four-song performance in front of a small igloo during the Packers’ blowout of the Lions. Meanwhile, Parton dressed like a Cowboys cheerleader and covered Queen as Dallas decimated the Commanders. However, as soon as Parton’s Super Bowl-esque show began, people turned to roasting Harlow.

Firstly, no one quite understood the whole igloo thing for Harlow. It would make more sense at the icy Lambeau Field. However, Harlow was performing at the indoor, climate-controlled Ford Field while it was 50 degrees outside in Detroit. Furthermore, there was little to no production value as Harlow performed in front of what one Twitter used called “a set borrowed from a local middle school production of Frozen“.

Gucci Mane’s Wife Reunites With Stolen Lamborghini After Cash Reward Offer

November 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Less than 24 hours after Keyshia Ka’oir offered a cash reward for a stolen Lamborghini of hers on Wednesday (November 22), she reunited with her pink Urus. Moreover, Gucci Mane’s wife shared an image of the car in question alongside a truck in the middle of the night. “Got my back back!” she wrote in her Instagram post’s caption. “Thanks to everyone that assisted. If they know what I know park that truck on the street & walk away [crying-laughing emoji] [sunglass face emoji].” That last part seemed like a bit of a threat, so hopefully nothing violent went down in the pursuit of this vehicle.

“MY PINK LAMBO WAS STOLEN IN MIAMI!” Keyshia Ka’oir previously announced on social media. “IF U SEE HER DM ME! I GOT SOME $$$$$ #miami #FortLauderdale #Westpalmbeach #Florida PLEASE SHARE.” What’s curious is that a similar situation happened to NBA YoungBoy’s mother recently. He was also there to support his mom, just like Gucci Mane supported his wife throughout this, to which extent we’re not sure. Regardless, it points to how much luxury can make you a target these days, especially when you associated with to a famous artist.

Given his new album Breath Of Fresh Air, Guwop is actually thinking a lot about how he can better support his family. “I was like, basically, I’ma roll this album out, and this gon’ be the discography of Gucci in 2023, with my little girl, and my boy,” Gucci Mane told Streetz Atlanta. “So now when I look back 10 years from now, I say, ‘Okay, this where I was at.’ These the songs I made, this is what was on my mind, and that’s where Breath of Fresh Air [comes from], like, take your time.

“Enjoy your family,” he continued. “And just express that instead of like, talking about — not even the same stuff I talk about — but the same stuff I hear people talk about. Show people you can talk about other things, you know what I’m saying? It’s cool to have a family. It’s cool to have dinner at home.” For more news and the latest updates on Gucci Mane and his wife Keyshia Ka’oir, keep checking in with HNHH.

Suge Knight Says Eazy-E’s Widow Fumbled Millions Of Dollars In Poor Dr. Dre Deal

November 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Suge Knight’s recent episode of the Collect Call podcast, which aired on Sunday (November 19), is adding salt to a wound. Moreover, he targeted Eazy-E’s widow for fumbling a deal that the Death Row executive landed with Dr. Dre that would’ve set up the late rapper and his family for generational wealth. By giving up some profits to Suge, Eazy allegedly could get a share of all of the West Coast producer’s earnings, no matter the industry. During his conversation with The Source magazine co-founder Dave Mays, he explained that this was a billion-dollar opportunity given Dre’s continued massive success throughout his career.

“I did a deal for [Eazy],” Suge Knight’s comments on the whole situation began. “He gets a dollar off of anything that Dre does. In other words, [that’s] if he do a movie, if he do a beat, [or] if he promote some type of merchandise. If he do a commercial, if he produce… Off of his part, [Eazy] gets a dollar.” Then, the incarcerated and notorious music figure explained that Eazy-E’s widow, Tomica Woods-Wright, assumed control of his estate after his untimely passing in March of 1995.

Collect Call With Suge Knight: Check Out His Words On Eazy-E’s Widow At 15:34

“Tomica met with Interscope,” Suge Knight further alleged. “Interscope said, ‘Hey, why you want to get a dollar off of everything Dre does? Me and you could do business later on. Sign off and just let Dre out of it. We’re gonna do business later.’ She signed off. They ain’t did no business with that b***h later. And guess what? That f***ed Eazy’s kids, his momma, at the time his father was still living. It’s f***ed his family.” Given how complex and elaborate this deal seems, it’s unclear if we’ll ever really understand the implications of this claim.

In fact, Eazy-E had previously spoken to Arsenio Hall in 1993 about a similar arrangement, which interestingly coincided with his beef with N.W.A. As such, anything Dre did went right back to Eazy. “Basically, I had Dre signed as exclusive producer and an exclusive artist,” he explained. “So when Dre tried to make his deal over at Interscope, I was included for the next six years.” For more news and the latest updates on Dr. Dre, Suge Knight, and the late and great Eazy-E, stay logged into HNHH.

NBA YoungBoy Refers To His Wife As “Property,” Wires Her $1M

November 11, 2023 by newhiphopnews

NBA YoungBoy raised a few eyebrows with his recent Instagram post. The pair of images showed YB posing with a woman who he referred to as his “wife”, amongst other things. “My real day 1, y’all be dying to see my wife huh? Nah she too exclusive #mypropertyonly ,” the rapper wrote as a caption. This led to a wave of speculation across social media. “He must got a bunch of sister house in that house,” one person remarked on Reddit. Furthermore, fans questioned if the woman in the photos was Dej Rosegold, a previous flame of YB from a few years back.

Furthermore, in another post, YB was seen calling his bank and asking for $1 million to be wired to his wife’s account. After he hangs up, YB proceeds to vibe out to some music with a joint. Despite recent claims that house arrest was affecting his mental health, YB appears to be having a pretty great time right now.

However, another thing that people were asking in the comments was if the woman in the pictures was the same woman making allegations against YB. One of the rapper’s baby mommas recently claimed that she was beaten by two women in YB’s home, all while she was holding her son. “Watch who you have kids by. My son dad let his wh-res yes wh-res with an S cause it was 2 of them weak a– h-es. He gave them an order to get me lol you know b-tches who never came from sh-t gone do it. My son was in my hands. His dad just sat back and watched smh. I would be wrong if I pressed charges on yall for doing me like this with my baby in my hand. But karma gone eat yall a–es up. I got my son back I’m happy that’s all that matters fr. 5 stitches later. And her punk a– fist ain’t do that shorty had sum,” the woman’s account of the attack read.

There appears to be a lot of violence following YB and his extended entourage lately. Last weekend, the rapper was seen celebrating the fact that his rival, Lil Rye, had been jumped in Atlanta. Also last weekend, there were reports that his ex, Arabian, had thrown down with the sister of King Von. YB has not responded to the claims made my his BM. However, any updates in that case will be reported here.

Joe Smith Denies Fight Over Wife’s OnlyFans Being A “Publicity Stunt”

November 10, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Former NBA player Joe Smith has rejected claims that his now-viral fight with his wife after learning of her OnlyFans account was fake. “Nah, that’s not what happened and that’s not what’s going on right now. It’s a real issue. The video hurt, but then also, the fact that the way I had to find out about the OnlyFans page, that’s another thing on top of that that hurts as well,” Smith told VladTV earlier this week. Furthermore, Smith claimed that he had discovered the account when he caught his wife checking her account on her phone. That contradicts his wife’s account of events, in which she claimed that a “house guest” told Smith about her side hustle.

“I wouldn’t put my business out in the streets, I wouldn’t put nothing like this out in the streets unless it was real official, and I didn’t do this one so it’s hurting. It’s hurtful and I gotta listen to people’s opinions every day, all day right now about my relationship and that’s something I never wanted to be involved in,” Smith continued. In her interview with TMZ, Smith’s wife claimed that she had begun the OnlyFans to help alleviate financial issues within their household. Furthermore, she claimed that Smith had struggled with mental health issues ever since he had left the NBA.

Cam’Ron Hits On Joe Smith’s Wife

Smith’s wife, Kisha Chavis, also made an appearance on Check Out The Stat, a sister show of It Is What It Is. While interviewing Chavis on the show, Cam’ron intensely honed in on a massage business that Chavis said she also ran. After asking her multiple questions about whether she did the massages herself and whether she would give him a massage, Cam’ron shot his shot. “I don’t mean to be unprofessional or anything like that but I can’t stop looking at your cleavage,” the rapper said, referring to the low-cut shirt Chavis was wearing for the interview.

However, Cam’ron wasn’t the only pundit to discuss the topic. The topic of Chavis’ OnlyFans account also found its way onto the agenda of The Nightcap, the show hosted by Shannon Sharpe and Chad Johnson. While Sharpe, as he often is with the topic of sexuality, was hesitant, Johnson voiced his full-throated support for the idea of his partner doing OnlyFans to help the family’s finances. He acknowledged that OnlyFans can be a way to find financial stability in a world where a lot of people increasingly find a lack of it.

Snoop Dogg & His Wife Get Matching Crown Rings To Flex Their Marriage

November 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Snoop Dogg and Shante Broadus have been together for over 30 years, and it’s been a loving and wholly enriching experience for both. Moreover, they always find big ways to celebrate each other through, and it’s even better if they get to celebrate together. For example, the rapper’s wife recently turned 52 years old in late October, and she had a great time with many loved ones at a lavish party. She took to Instagram to post some recollections of these moments, putting up many amazing pictures of the occasion. In one image in particular, the hip-hop power couple flexed identical crown rings, a symbol of their strength together.

“It’s My Party And I’ll Smile If I Want To,” Shante Broadus captioned the first of two IG posts of her birthday. “Grateful For Another Year Surrounded By Loved Ones And Good Vibes.” “The Birthday Cake Was As Sweet As Me,” she expressed in the second post’s caption, which showcases her and Snoop Dogg’s rings. However, they aren’t only bonded by wedlock, but also in a business sense. Back in 2021, Tha Doggfather made Shante his manager right before she released her book, which was a great full-circle moment for the two.

What’s more is that this wasn’t the only birthday that the couple celebrated. Snoop Dogg himself also turned 52 on October 20, and he had a great time with friends, as well. For example, John C. Reilly and Will Ferrell brought him onstage for the latter’s benefit show in Los Angeles on the 21st, and they really enjoyed connecting with the crowd. Meanwhile, the West Coast legend reflected to PEOPLE what was on his mind around his special day.

“You gotta treat yourself, don’t cheat yourself,” he expressed. “Like fine wine, I’m aging better with time. But we really only got a short time here, so making the most of life and trying to be the best version of me every day. [That’s] by surrounding myself with good people, positive energy, and love.” For more news and the latest updates on Snoop Dogg and Shante Broadus, log back into HNHH.

Joe Smith’s Wife Breaks Silence On Husband Discovering Her OnlyFans

November 1, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The wife of ex-NBA player Joe Smith has broken her silence on the viral video of Smith confronting her after learning that she runs an OnlyFans account. “It was a decision that I made. I made an executive decision when my man wasn’t taking the lead. I really love Joe,” Kisha Chavis told TMZ. Elaborating, Chavis said that Smith’s mental health had taken a major blow after he left the NBA in 2011. According to Chavis, Smith struggled to come to terms with going from #1 pick to unwanted by any team in the league. Furthermore, she said that while Smith did very little to try and alleviate their financial burdens, she had set up a number of money-making side hustles. However, as the pandemic shut down several of their revenue streams, she explained that she had eventually turned to OnlyFans.

Additionally, Chavis explained that she had been running an account for over a year before a house guest of Smith’s revealed it to her husband. Chavis also confirmed that Smith was currently staying away from the house. However, she also expressed hope that they would be able to work through the issue. “I don’t want to be alone, but you know, if that’s what it has to be, that’s what it has to be. But, I don’t think we’ll have a divorce, I don’t think so. I think he’ll come around,” Chavis explained.

Who Is Joe Smith?

Younger NBA fans might not be familiar with Smith, a 2000s journeyman who played for 12 NBA teams. Smith, a 20-ppg forward at Maryland, was something of a surprise first-overall pick. The rest of the top five that year were Antonio McDyess, Jerry Stackhouse, Rasheed Wallace, and Kevin Garnett. Smith never really lived up to the #1 pick status, being traded from the Warriors to the Sixers two and half years after being drafted. He proceeded to bounce around the league, never spending more than three years at any one team. Unlike the rest of the top of that ’95 draft class, Smith never made an All-Star Game or All-NBA team. He would retire in 2011 after being waived by the Lakers and not being able to find a team that wanted to sign him.

Smith finished his career with a 10.9 points average. He also, like a number of NBA players, dabbled with a musical career. Released under the name “Joe Beast”, Smith dropped an album in 2008 while playing with the Thunder. Tracks included “Murda Kapital” and “I Does This” but the album did not do well. However, the drama with his wife remains a developing story and we’ll have any updates as and when they emerge.
