Mother Crowd Surfs Her Baby At Flo Rida Concert

August 21, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Concerts are one of the most unique atmospheres to experience. From the moshpits to singing songs word for word the artist a mere few hundred feet away, seeing the choreography and set pieces, it is a one-of-a-kind event. This most recent Flo Rida performance had all of that and then some with a baby thrown in the mix. The Carol City, Florida-born rapper made his appearance at a music festival in Erie, Pennsylvania called CelebrateErie, which was three days.

Flo Rida was the second show on August 19 and he had the crowd rocking. In the YouTube video below you can see everyone having a great time with the hitmaker having fun with his set. However, what follows is something quite hysterical but also nerve-racking at the same time. A baby is being crowd-surfed with the mother starting the whole thing. The child eventually makes it to Flo Rida and he does something no one has probably seen.

Did Flo Rida Do The Right Thing?

The big teddy bear puts his mic down, gently holds the baby, then kisses it on the forehead and continues to perform. At one point, Flo Rida even holds the microphone to the kid’s mouth to sing along. Later on, another fan came and joined Flo Rida on stage and held the infant, then took a selfie with them. It is a wild moment for sure and one that had commenters questioning the parenting skills saying, “Concerts are way too loud for a baby,” on Reddit.

What are your thoughts on these parents crowd-surfing their baby at Flo Rida’s concert? Do you think the parents should have left the child at home with a family member or babysitter? Did Flo Rida handle the situation the right way? We want to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all the latest breaking news around the music world.

Irv Gotti Discusses Gunna, Drake, And Ashanti On “Drink Champs”

August 20, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Irv Gotti was the latest guest to hit up Drink Champs, joining N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN to cover a whole host of topics. One of the biggest matters on the table was Ashanti’s recent reunion with Nelly. In his last appearance on the show, Gotti had alleged a relationship with Ashanti but appeared to walk back at least some of his comments about her. “She’s done. She’s fucking done with me. No one’s sitting around thinking… ‘Oh, but she still looks great. You ain’t want her when you seen that last picture?’ I mean this with all respect to women… I get some of the most baddest b**ches you will ever [see] in your life, and they not Ashanti. Black, white, Latina; I get bad bitches.”

Gotti also addressed his previous Ashanti comments being called out by Fat Joe. “Fat Joe was my brother. I do not feel Fat Joe is my brother anymore. His defense and Ja’s defense is they do shows with Ashanti, but Rule will never come out and say, ‘Gotti’s a sucker.’ Fat Joe said, ‘Oh, Gotti’s a sucker.’ I gotta pull back and regress from that. If I was to go respond or anything with that, it could get crazy.”

Gotti Speaks On Gunna And Drake

He also addressed Gunna’s plea deal in the YSL case and the subsequent allegations of snitching that have followed the rapper. “Once you start taking plea deals, you’re working with them. They came to me, ‘You want to say anything [about] Preme?’ I told them n**gas, ‘Suck my dick,’” Gotti shared. “N*ggas ain’t cut from that. Some part of me would be like, ‘Yeah, to each his own. Do what’s best for your life.’ Do what’s best for your life, dog. But me, I just can’t.”

Elsewhere, he said that he would pick Drake over Jay-Z as the best rapper ever. “I think Drake is the biggest artist in the world, but I do think it’s time for someone else. I don’t view Hov like how I view Drake. Drake still makes music; Hov is not making no music,” Irv Gotti said. “Last time I spoke to Hov, he said, ‘Gotti, I gave it all I had.’ That was his way of telling me he’s out.” Be sure to watch the full interview at the link below.

IShowSpeed Addresses Flashing Incident With Explosive On-Stream Rant

August 19, 2023 by newhiphopnews

On August 16, controversial streamer IShowSpeed showed something quite different while playing Five Nights At Freddy’s. After being jumpscared by the character Chica, Speed had one of his trademark over-the-top reactions. “I wanna fuck you, Chica. Get this dick right up in you, baby,” the 18-year-old screamed, jumping up from his seat and violently thrusting his hips at his camera. This caused his penis to become dislodged from his shorts and become visible on camera for several seconds. Speed immediately ended his stream after seeing what had happened on his second monitor.

Despite the explicit incident, which led to a wave of jokes and mockery on social media, Speed avoided a ban from YouTube. Speaking with TMZ, a spokesperson for the video platform said that the incident was evidently an accident and that Speed had immediately deleted the VOD that contained the incident. However, Speed’s return to streaming on August 18 was marked by the content creator’s memorable addressing of the incident in question.

Speed Loses It On Stream

— IShowSpeed Reports (@IShowReports) August 18, 2023

While formally addressing the incident, Speed turned his ire towards the individuals who continued to repost clips of the incident on social media. “Like bro, how the fuck would you fucking feel motherfucker?” he yelled, jumping out of his chair. “How the fk would you feel? How would you feel? Just because you didn’t have any clean fucking underwear? You had no clean underwear so you put on some goddamn pants! How would you feel?!”

Multiple comments in his stream chat telling him to “chill out” only appeared to enrage the Cincinnati-born streamer. “I’m sick of fucking chilling! You can’t chill! Don’t tell me to calm down. Every time I open up my phone…This is truly an embarrassing fucking moment for me. And lately, these past hours, I’ve been suffering mentally. At the end of the day, I’m still a human being, bro. As a streamer, this is one of your worst fears. It’s depressing, bro. You guys don’t know the feeling, bro. You guys are joking, you guys can crack your jokes, all of this, all of that. But y’all genuinely are not looking at the bigger picture.”

What Is IShowSpeed’s Real Name?

August 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The digital age has given rise to numerous personalities who have carved a niche for themselves on various online platforms. One such sensation is IShowSpeed, a YouTuber, gamer, and social media influencer who has garnered millions of fans across the globe. But who is he behind the screen? Let’s delve into the life and identity of this internet sensation.

IShowSpeed’s journey to stardom began on YouTube, where he showcased his gaming skills by streaming himself playing video games. Over time, his entertaining content and engaging personality have earned him a massive following, not just on YouTube but also on other social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram.

The Name Behind The Persona

While many recognize him by his online moniker, IShowSpeed, this is not his birth name. In various online videos and interviews, he goes by this pseudonym. Some even affectionately call him “Speedy” or “Speed.” For instance, during a charity football match in September 2022, Zimbabwean-British comedian Munya Chawawa referred to him as “Speed.”

However, for those curious about his real identity, IShowSpeed’s birth name is Darren Watkins Jr. The “Jr” suffix suggests that he might have been named after a family member, possibly his father or grandfather. Yet, respecting his privacy, he has not disclosed much about his family.

A Glimpse Into His Life

Born on January 21, 2005, in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States, IShowSpeed is an Aquarius by zodiac sign. While he remains relatively private about his early life, he has shared his passion for YouTube and video gaming, which began during childhood. His content is diverse, from playing popular video games like Fifa and Fortnite to sharing snippets of his daily life. Interestingly, he once live-streamed himself taking school exams in August 2022, gaining significant attention. Currently believed to be in high school, he often discusses how school occupies a significant portion of his time. Moreover, he has expressed that he doesn’t intend to pursue a university education after graduation.

A Rising Star’s Popularity Metrics

As of 2023, IShowSpeed’s influence is evident in his follower count. He boasts over 5 million followers on Instagram, a staggering ten million-plus on TikTok, and an impressive 12.9 million plus subscribers on his primary YouTube channel. Achieving such numbers at a young age is a testament to his appeal and the quality of content he delivers.

In Conclusion

IShowSpeed, or Darren Watkins Jr., is more than just an online alias. He represents a generation of digital influencers who have harnessed the internet’s power to connect with millions. While his real name provides a glimpse into his off-screen identity, his online persona continues to captivate audiences worldwide.

IShowSpeed Avoids YouTube Ban After Exposing Himself On Stream

August 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

IShowSpeed will not be punished by YouTube after exposing his penis during an August 16 live stream. After being jump scared by the character Chica in Five Nights At Freddy’s, Speed screamed dramatically before yelling “I wanna fuck you, Chica. Get this dick right up in you, baby.” He proceeded to jump and down, dislodging his penis from his shorts and causing it to be clearly seen on camera. Speed appeared to realize what had happened after seeing the playback on his second monitor. “Oh my God,” the 22-year-old can be heard saying before abruptly ending his stream.

Unintentional or not, the incident was a very clear breach of YouTube’s terms of service. Among the major streaming platforms, YouTube has perhaps the strictest policies regarding sexual content. Despite this, YouTube confirmed to TMZ that Speed had removed the video archive of the incident and would not be issuing a ban at this time. Many believe that this is in order to retain Speed, one of the platform’s biggest stars, and prevent him from leaving for a platform like Kick. While Kick is much more lenient about its streamers’ content, it still holds some policies on sexual content. Adin Ross was recently temporarily suspended after showing explicitly sexual content during one of his streams.

Did YouTube Bend The Rules For IShowSpeed?

— Dizast3rz (@Dizast3rz) August 17, 2023

While Speed’s mishap appears unintentional, it has now become a case study in what major platforms will do to retain their streaming talent. YouTube has previously faced criticism on multiple occasions for deliberately age-restricting content about LGBTQ topics. However, they are reportedly willing to give Speed a total pass for exposing his penis on stream. Again, while unintentional, he exposed his penis to his primarily underage audience. There were 25,000 people watching Speed at the time of his incident.

Speed is yet to make a formal statement about the incident at the time of writing. However, if TMZ‘s report turns out to be accurate, then he just scored a major win. Furthermore, he may have just set a dangerous precedent. YouTube can no longer ban sexual content indiscriminately. If you can make the argument that it was “accidental”, then YouTube can’t ban you else they would be openly showing that they have one set of rules for their profitable talent and another set of rules for everyone else. This remains a developing story and we’ll have any updates if and when they come through.

IShowMeat Trends After IShowSpeed Flashing Incident

August 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

X/Twitter has a new favorite obsession after IShowSpeed’s August 16 stream. While streaming a Five Nights At Freddy’s game on YouTube, the controversial streamer reacted to a jumpscare by screaming and jumping up and down in front of his camera. Unfortunately for Speed, this inadvertently revealed his erect penis to his audience. Speed only appeared to realize this after seeing the footage on his second monitor, causing him to end his stream moments later.

The footage quickly went viral, being reposted numerous times on social media. While Speed has not been banned from YouTube at the time of writing, a ban feels inevitable. Among the major live-streaming platforms, YouTube has some of the strictest content rules relating to sexual content. And few things are more sexual than exposing your genitals live on stream to an audience primarily comprised of minors. Meanwhile, the trending topic “IShowMeat” quickly appeared on the Elon Musk-owned site.

IShowMeat Trends

The trend is pretty self-explanatory. Meat is a colloquialism for penis, his name is IShowSpeed. It’s a middle-of-the-plate meatball pitch if ever there was one. While it’s a pretty easy joke to come to, it also appears to have been popularized after being used by streamer MoistCr1TiKaL during his recap of the situation. In another video, an individual utilizes photoshop to estimate how tall (in dicks) IShowSpeed is.

Furthermore, HotNewHipHop would like to address comments made in a previous article about the situation. In our original report on the incident, we said this:

And disturbingly hard for a dude playing a horror game about murder robots? Of course, Rule 34 absolutely applies to the FNAF franchise but is that something that Speed is into? Legally, we cannot give an answer to that question. But it is a question worth asking based on the footage.

Ben Mock for HotNewHipHop, August 16 2023

We can now confirm that yes, it is something that Speed is into. In the original video of the incident, the streamer can be heard saying “I wanna fuck you, Chica. Get this dick right up in you, baby.” Chica is the Five Nights At Freddy’s character that jumpscared Speed in the now-viral clip. This continues to be a developing story and we’ll have any updates as they emerge.

Rae Sremmurd Share New Music Video For “Sexy”

August 16, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Rae Sremmurd are following up their new album earlier this year with yet another music video. Back in April, Rae Sremmurd returned with their first new album since 2018’s SR3MM. Sremm 4 Life had features from Young Thug and Future among its 14-song tracklist. The album went on to debut at number 28 on the Billboard 200, becoming their first studio album to peak outside the top 10. They’ve already released music videos for “Torpedo,” “Tanisha (Pump That),” and “Not So Bad (Lean Gone Cold).”

Now “Sexy” has officially become the 4th track from the album to receive a music video. The Ethan Iverson-directed music video dropped earlier today and features a number of memorable hip-hop motifs. In the clip the duo hang out with some of their famous friends, drinking, flexing expensive items, and causing trouble wherever they go. Locations in the video include a studio, restaurant, hotel room, and even out on a boat. Check out the extravagant new music video below.

All the way back in January, Rae Sremmurd released another new single “Sucka Or Sum.” The song featured the pair trading off verses in their trademark fashion and has racked up nearly 7 million streams. For unspecified reasons, the song was left off Sremm 4 Life when it dropped a few months later. A few weeks before that they dropped the album’s lead single “Torpedo.” The track dropped right at the end of 2022 and became a moderate hit for the pair reaching nearly 12 million streams since it dropped.

Last year, Rolling Loud assembled their own compilation album, and Rae Sremmurd were included on it. They teamed up with Duke Deuce for the song “Finger Food” which served as the lead single for the project. The pair kept plenty busy, even in the 5 years between album releases by dropping a number of singles in the process. What do you think of Rae Sremmurd’s new music video for “Sexy?” Let us know in the comment section below.

NPR Drops New Post Malone Tiny Desk Concert

August 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The NPR Tiny Desk has been home to many memorable performances over the years. Rappers like Anderson .Paak, JID, Chance The Rapper, Freddie Gibbs, and many more have made memorable appearances behind the titular desk in the NPR office. Fans love the series for its intimate format and the novel amusement of seeing such big stars with big personalities size their performances down into such a small space. Earlier today, NPR dropped a new Tiny Desk Concert with one of the biggest stars they’ve had to date.

The newest Tiny Desk episode features Post Malone. The rapper is fresh off the release of his hit new album Austin. The project debuted at number 2 on the Billboard 200 behind only Travis Scott’s UTOPIA. The album stuck for a second week in the top 10 on the chart, falling to number 7. The album also has three songs in the Hot 100 this week with “Chemical,” “Mourning,” and “Overdrive.” Additionally, Post features on the remix of Noah Kahan’s hit song “Dial Drunk,” which lands in the top 30. While Post doesn’t perform any of those songs in his Tiny Desk Concert, he does bring out some older hits.

Post Malone And His Band At NPR’s Tiny Desk

Post Malone performed two of his biggest hits “Sunflower” and “Circles” as well as tracks like “I Fall Apart” and “Enough Is Enough.” He performed the acoustic set alongside a number of talented musicians adding sonic detail to his songs. The video already has over 150k views in just a few hours and the comments are full of fans loving what Post did with the format.

Post Malone turned heads a few weeks ago when he spent an astounding $2 million on a single Magic: The Gathering card. The sale marked the most expensive card ever sold from the franchise. It’s one of the many silly headlines that have emerged about Post throughout his career. Where would you rank Post Malone’s tiny desk concert among other rappers’ performances? Let us know in the comment section below.

Travis Scott Shares “CIRCUS MAXIMUS” Film To YouTube

August 15, 2023 by newhiphopnews

One of the most mysterious parts of Travis Scott’s UTOPIA rollout was the accompanying film Circus Maximus. The movie featured contributions from a number of beloved directors and featured plenty of music from the album itself. Screenings of the movie in the hours leading up to the record’s release were the first taste fans got of elements like Beyonce’s surprise feature. While information on the film was still difficult to come by even a few weeks after its release, Scott has helped clear things up. The movie is now available to watch in its entirety for free on YouTube.

The 75-minute movie was posted to Travis Scott’s YouTube channel earlier today. He also posted 4 accompanying clips from the movie each serving as an individual music video for four of the album’s songs. The album’s opener “HYAENA,” fan-favorite “SIRENS,” standout early track “MODERN JAM” and Beyonce-assisted “DELRESTO (ECHOES)” all got their own videos released simultaneously with the full film.

Travis Scott Shares “UTOPIA” Movie To YouTube

By pretty much any metric imaginable, UTOPIA has been one of the biggest events in all of music this year. The album had a massive first week on the charts, debuting at number one on the Billboard 200. It sold almost 500k units in its first week. That made it the third biggest opening week of 2023 so far behind Morgan Wallen and Taylor Swift. The album became the first rap project since Certified Lover Boy to spend consecutive weeks at the top spot earlier this week.

Unsurprisingly, a recent Travis Scott live show was caked in controversy. After originally announcing a show would take place in Egypt, it was ultimately canceled and moved to Rome. When the show was actually played, it didn’t go off perfectly. Over 60 fans in the crowd were injured when someone sprayed pepper spray into the audience, and the show reportedly caused a small earthquake. What do you think of Travis Scott’s new CIRCUS MAXIMUS movie? Let us know in the comment section below.

Jim Jones Mourns Takeoff On “Drink Champs”

August 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Iconic New York rapper Jim Jones once again returned to the Drink Champs studio to chop it up with N.O.R.E. and DJ EFN. There was a lot on the table, which is fitting for a man of Jones’ reputation. One of the topics was Jones helping kickstart Kid Cudi’s career. “What’s the dude that sings ‘Day ‘N’ Nite’? You know how he got his stardom? Dudes wanted to direct a video for me at the time. I was like, ‘Shit, let me see some of the videos y’all directed.’ He was on the roof looking crazy and shit. I’m like, ‘I’ll let y’all do the video if y’all tell this kid [to] give me his beat, so I can remix this record,’” Jones recalled. “Somebody ripped it off the internet from HOT 97…That’s how Kid Cudi ended up getting his deal.”

He also took time to address the rise of Michael Rubin’s White Party. “No disrespect to Michael Rubin, and this is not about that. It’s about the power that we have that he’s tapping into ‘cause he knows we have that power. We need Diddy to come back out. The Black Party. It’s not even about a Black or white thing. It’s just that we have the power to do the same type of things.”

Jones Mourns Takeoff

However, the most emotional part of the interview came during a discussion of Migos. Jones reportedly recorded the final Migos track, “We Set The Trends”, before Takeoff’s tragic passing. “Yeah. RIP, Takeoff. I’ll miss your soul, baby boy. He was just a great person, I had a great relationship with him,” Jones stated. “It would make me feel good to know that someone like Takeoff was giving me my flowers. We came to the studio in LA. He said, ‘Where you at? I’m pulling up.’ We in the studio, he’s like, ‘Nah, we gotta get on, Unc.’ [The] producer started playing beats. He’s like, ‘This it. This it.’ He did his hook, and he did his verse, and then I did a verse. Then I was like, ‘Nah, I gotta come back and fix my shit tomorrow,’” the artist continued.

Elsewhere, Jones played coy about his beef with Pusha T. “Shout out to Pusha T, very dope artist. Everybody knows he’s a monster when it comes to doing music. I can’t take nothing away from him,” Jim Jones explained. The Harlem rapper continued, “I know everybody seen everything that was going on inside the media and the internet. I believe it was cool. For one time in my life, I got to engage in some verbal warfare, and it don’t have to go beyond that.” Be sure to watch the full episode, now live on YouTube.
