New Hip Hop News

In this season of Love & Hip Hop Family Reunion, there have been quite a few behind-the-scenes revelations that have been revealed. Millions have tuned in to watch several of the franchise’s longstanding hit shows, and as they gathered together for a reunion trip to mend fences and put the past behind them, secrets have been unveiled.

On Love & Hip Hop New York years ago, one of the storylines centered around Cyn, Joe Budden’s ex-fiancée and the mother to his son, exploring her music career by working with fellow cast member Cisco Rosado.

In the series, Cyn wanted to record a song in tribute to her late brother, Joel, who took his own life the year prior. It was an emotional storyline for fans that highlighted the recovery that loved ones endure following a suicide, but Cyn now reveals that Cisco refused to release the track after she rejected his romantic advances.

“Long story short, we do the song, and he sits me down one day, he says, ‘You know, I think I love you,'” Cyn shared. “I said to him, ‘Listen, I wanna just stick to business.’ He gets mad. Takes the song.” While filming Family Reunion, it seemed that Cisco wanted to revisit that memory with Cyn and she didn’t feel like speaking with him.

“He’s trying to have that conversation last night! It’s not the time or place, man,” she added. “I’m ’bout to walk away, he goes, ‘Yo, why is you doin’ this,’ he’s like, ‘You’re up and down with homeboy.'” Cyn has also been flirting with Keyshia Cole’s ex-husband Daniel “Boobie” Gibson, and Cisco allegedly questioned her about that, as well. 

Check out the clip of Cyn telling the rest of the cast her history with Cisco below.

Friends, loved ones, and fans of Sukihana are banding together to offer words of support for the rapper. Sukihana is a social media personality unlike any other, and the Delaware native has often turned heads or gone viral over her commentary. The world also became more familiar with Sukihana thanks to her stint on Love & Hip Hop Miami where she was seen stirring the pot with a few of her fellow cast members, but offscreen, the rapper is known to share intimate, unsolicited details about her romance with on-again-off-again boyfriend, Bill.

This evening (January 10), it was reported that Sukihana’s mother shared with the public that the rapper and Bill were involved in a car accident.

Over on Instagram, Sukihana’s mother wrote, “This is Mama.. Suki and Bill were in a  car wreck and rushed to the hospital via ambulance. I will update you guys as soon as I can [bandaged heart emoji].” She also shared images of the accident, and while some social media users downplayed the crash by stating it didn’t look major, others weren’t so quick to brush it off. 

This has been the only bit of information shared about the accident at this time, but we’re sure when Sukihana is feeling better, she will return with details about what happened. In the meantime, swipe below to see the aftermath of the three-way crash.

The drama continues for Blueface and his protegé Chrisean Rock. The pair have been tied together ever since she moved into his home and competed with other women for a shot at a rap career, and with the win came a personal relationship with the California rapper. There were rumors that the pair had been mixing business with pleasure, and it was seemingly confirmed after they went at it on social media.

We previously reported that Blueface and Wack 100 kicked Chrisean out of the rapper’s home following an argument, and since that time, Blueface and Chrisean have been publicly at odds.

Chrisean recently returned to Instagram to reignite the beef after sharing several screenshots of alleged text messages from Blueface. In them, it looks as if Blueface told her that “any b*tch in my life is obligated to submit to me,” but Chrisean defiantly said she won’t do that. Later, she wrote that she’s moving on, but it looks like Blueface returned to tell her that he loved her and wanted to see her.

Chrisean later said that Blueface did visit her place and they ended up sleeping on the floor together. Despite the both continuing to argue and air out their dirty laundry, it doesn’t look as if the Blueface and Chrisean Rock saga is over just yet, and they’re now fighting off rumors that she is allegedly pregnant.

Weeks after declaring she would be practicing celibacy throughout 2022, Keyshia Cole has returned with a few more additions to the list of things she’s giving up in the new year. The praised singer has been reportedly working on her forthcoming album, a record that fans have been expecting for quite some time. In recent years, Keyshia has gone through several highs and lows—finalizing her divorce from Daniel Gibson, breaking up with Niko Khalé, and losing both her mother and her father—and her supporters expect that much of these moments will be reflected on the project. 

Aside from working on music, it seems that Cole has been cutting out those habits and distractions, and on Twitter, she revealed that she’s becoming more disciplined. 

“No alcohol. No d*ck. No smoking,” Keyshia wrote. “And trying to drink a liter of water a day. Oh and take my vitamins everyday. Oh while maintaining no attitude [crying laughing emomij][crown emoji][smiling with sunglasses emoij].”

Not long ago, the singer seemed to have suggested that he had a new man in her life after posting a series of enigmatic images to her Instagram Story. However, it is unclear if Cole is in a relationship. Check out her post below and let us know if you could keep up with Keyshia Cole’s new regimen.

On the heels of news that Young Dolph’s accused killer will be turning himself in next week, the late rapper’s record label has announced that a tribute album is in the works. We previously reported on the authorities issuing a warrant for the arrest of Justin Johnson, a 23-year-old who is said to be a rapper from Memphis who is currently considered a fugitive. Police have stated that he’s wanted for first-degree murder.

Photos said to be of Johnson have been widely circulating on social media following the announcement, and recently, he declared that he was innocent.

“None but gangster sh*t on my record ! You n*ggas police and bogus , all my charges I did time for or either got drop [smiling sunglasses emoji],” Johnson wrote. “Turning Myself In Monday @201 I’m Innocent [praying hands emoji] I’ll Be Back Sooner Than You Can Blink.” 

Dolph’s friends, collaborators, and artists have made it clear that they will carry the torch of his legacy, and it was announced today (January 10) that Paper Route Empire would be releasing a compilation mixtape in his honor. Paper Route Empire Presents: Long Live Dolph will reportedly be released on January 21 and will host artists like Key Glock, Kenny Muney, Snupe Bandz, Jay Fizzle, and other PRE artists.

Lil Yachty says that his next album will be “non-rap,” instead opting for an “alternative” sound. The “One Night” rapper discussed his upcoming project for the first time while picking up new jewelry from the Atlanta store, Icebox.

“My new album is a non-rap album,” he said in a video taken from the store. “It’s alternative, it’s sick.”

He added that this is the first time he’s discussed the project publically.

“I’ve always wanted to [make an alternative album] but now I’ve met all these amazing musicians and producers. It’s like a psychedelic alternative project. It’s different. It’s all live instrumentation. … I’ve changed my dynamic… I’m creating music a whole lot differently,” he continued.

The Atlanta rapper left Icebox with a massive Concrete Boys necklace as well as a Working Man piece.

Yachty has been mostly quiet since the release of his last project, Michigan Boy Boat, which he dropped in April 2021. His last full-length album, Lil Boat 3, arrived back in May 2020.

He announced back in October that he had welcomed his first child, but did not reveal the identity of the mother.

Check out Yachty’s announcement below.

The hunt is still on for Young Dolph’s alleged killer and while the authorities attempt to track him down, Justin Johnson has reportedly returned to social media. Last week, the Memphis Police Department announced that a warrant had been issued for Johnson who they claim has been evading capture. Johnson is wanted on first-degree murder charges and it didn’t take long for the public to find the rapper’s Instagram page. As photos began to circulate, it was quickly noted that Johnson was wearing a “PRE”, or Paper Route Empire, chain on his waistband.

Another image showed what looked to be Johnson standing behind Dolph at one of his shows, and now, the fugitive has shared on what’s’ reported to be his Instagram pagethat he will be turning himself over to the authorities.

“None but gangster sh*t on my record ! You n*ggas police and bogus , all my charges I did time for or either got drop [smiling sunglasses emoji],” he wrote. “Turning Myself In Monday @201 I’m Innocent [praying hands emoji] I’ll Be Back Sooner Than You Can Blink.” 

At this time, it is unclear who the second suspect may be as there were two people who ambushed Dolph on that fateful day when he was gunned down back in November. Swipe below to read through Johnson’s reported posts and to see the wanted poster issued by the authorities.

Krayzie Bone says he felt like an “asshole” during Three 6 Mafia and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony’s Verzuz battle, last month. During the event, a fight broke out between the two groups.

At the time, Bizzy Bone had thought that Three 6 Mafia were “mocking” him on stage. Krayzie says he was distracted by the performance and didn’t understand what was going on.

“I didn’t even hear what Bizzy said,” he recently told HipHopDX. “I didn’t hear none of the conversation they were even saying on the … I thought Bizzy was just about to grab the mic and talk some shit like everybody else was doing. So I’m back there and I see all the security guards rushing the stage, while I’m walking toward the back of the stage. Our security is running from backstage to the stage. I turn around, and everybody is on the stage. I’m like, ‘What the fuck is going on?’ And I’m standing there, pissed.”

Krayzie ended up apologizing after the show.

“We look like assholes on national fucking TV right now,” he recalled thinking.

“People were saying all kinds of stuff,” he continued. “People were agreeing with him. What he did, he was supposed to do as a man. Some people were saying it was stupid, so it was a lot of mixed reactions. I’m just happy everything went over smooth. We were able to end the show. Nobody died.”

There aren’t many rappers who can carve out a successful, lengthy career in Hip Hop, but N.O.R.E. has been putting in the work. He has hit tracks under his belt, toured the world, worked with some of the best artists in the industry, is the host of one of the hottest podcasts available, and even dabbled in reality television. However, people have noticed that you don’t often see Noreaga at certain events, so he took a moment to address those repeated inquiries.

Over on the Drink Champs Instagram page, the Rap mogul explained why he avoids hanging out with fake people andtouched on having a few haters in the industry.

“When you don’t see me around certain people, it’s because these certain people aren’t god, they’re dealing with insecurities, these are insecure people,” said Nore. “I have the same phone number. You can be in a room full of five people, five people say they don’t f*ck with Nore, then those five people are probably the fakest five people in the world, ’cause Nore’s one of the top five most loved artists in the world.”

“So, when you see these little events, these little private dinners, these little private, little meetings, when you don’t see the Yalla there, it’s ’cause the Yalla wasn’t invited,” he added, saying he’s going to mind his business and not “complain about nothin‘.” Noreaga had more to say in the caption.

“A message from the Yalla @therealnoreaga: The other day I got asked why I wasn’t at certain events and it’s cause I go we’re im celebrated and not tolerated I can only be in rooms that love me from now on!!! The industry fake sh*t no longer works for me I’mma king don’t be mad now that I’m acting like one!!! Y’all not the only ones getting money anymore but keep that same energy.”

Meanwhile, he was recently spotted with his good friend Kanye West and Ye’s new girlfriend, Julia Fox. Watch Noreaga explain himself below.
