New Hip Hop News

For those who tune into WEtv, you will see Mally Mall and his girlfriend hashing out their differences on Marriage Boot Camp: Hip Hop Edition. Although his season is currently airing, Mally Mall is incarcerated as he was convicted of running a prostitution business out of Las Vegas. In May, the megaproducer who is responsible for crafting hits for Justin Bieber and Usher was sentenced to 33-months in prison. However, according to Noreaga, there was a moment when Mally was popping champagne because he believed he had beat his case.

The Drink Champs host also stars on the current season of Marriage Boot Camp with his wife, Neri, and recently told HipHopDX that Mally initially celebrated because he thought he received probation.

“You know what’s crazy about that? I can’t speak for somebody else, but I think he did this prior to all of that. At some point of the show, he actually comes to us and says he got probation. I guess the judge did grant him probation,” said Noreaga.

“I don’t know what happened, but then after we left the house, that’s when we got the news that he actually got the 33 months or whatever amount of time. So he was actually told on the show that he beat it and that he got probation, and we actually opened a bottle of Ace of Spades and celebrated.”

As far as Marriage Boot Camp is concerned, fans will have to continue to watch to find out what happens next.

This week, French Montana is set to unveil his anticipated release, They Got Amnesia. The album’s announcement came during a time when the rapper was being teased by trolls online, but he attempted to set them straight by educating the naysayers about his catalog. French has received an ample amount of support from his fans and peers, and on Friday (November 12), he will be delivering new heat.

Montana has already released singles like “I Don’t Really Care” and his Fivio Foreign-assisted track “Panicking.” Other features on the record include Drake, Rick Ross, Lil Durk, John Legend, Moneybagg Yo, Ty Dolla $ign, Fabolous, Kodak Black, and more—including a track with both Doja Cat and Saweetie.

The two women in Rap have already amassed success together when Doja appeared on Saweetie’s chart-topper, “Best Friends.” As that single remains a favorite among their fanbases, Doja and Montana popped up in a video shared to social media where the Planet Her star made a few demands. In the clip, the two artists look to be on set filming their music video. 

Doja makes it clear that They Got Amnesia is not going to hit the streets if their music video doesn’t also receive the green light. Montana wrote, “@dojacat pulled up on me on my bday to let me know this album aint dropping on nov 12 till this video is done. can’t argue with the queen juheeeardddd STAY TUNED!”

The brief, yet playful clip has begun to circulate and fans are both artists are eager to hear their collaboration. Check it out below.

Unfortunately for Casanova and his team, the rapper has reportedly been hit with an attempted murder charge. Since the rapper turned himself over to authorities last December, Casanova has remained incarcerated. Fans have received a steady stream of updates from Casanova, many of which center around him feeling abandoned and neglected by people he considered friends.

Recently, Casanova shared a social media post where he pleaded with his friends that have status and influence to help him. Tory Lanez has regularly given shoutouts of support for Casanova, and according to AllHipHop, he will need all of the help he can get now that new charges have been reportedly added.

The outlet stated that a Casanova awaits his racketeering trial where he stands accused of committing several crimes alongside the Untouchable Gorilla Stone Nation gang, he is being accused of being involved in a shooting in Miami back in October 2020. He was allegedly in front of the popular King of Diamonds club when he “argued with a rival member of the Crips.”

The Crip gang member took issue with Casanova flashing gang signs as he took pictures with fans. He yelled to the rap star, “yo homie, wrong sign.” Casanova allegedly responded, “you want to die tonight?” An associate with Casanova named Jarrett “Jayecee” Chrisler Jr. drew a gun and shot two people during the altercation. The gang member was shot in the stomach, and another person was hit by gunfire. Both were airlifted to a local hospital and treated for their bullet wounds.

To make the case more complicated for Casanova, prosecutors seized Chrisler’s phone and caught him bragging about the shooting to another associate.

AllHipHop also reports that this new charge has thrown a wrench in Casanova’s petition for bond. He has been charged with attempted murder as well as assault with a dangerous weapon in aid of racketeering. Casanova is reportedly facing upwards of life in prison if convicted.

The Kyle Rittenhouse trial is expected to conclude next week, but before the world learns of the 18-year-old’s fate, the teen took the stand. On Wednesday (November 10), Rittenhouse once again went viral after giving his testimony regarding the deaths of two men that he shot and killed during the Kenosha, Wisconsin protests. We previously reported on Rittenhouse denying that he was at fault while reportedly telling the court that he only fired his weapon after he was being threatened.

Rittenhouse reportedly traveled with his family across state lines as they believed it was their duty to arm themselves and patrol Kenosha in order to protect businesses from rioters and looters. Throughout the investigation, Rittenhouse and his team have maintained that the then-17-year-old was acting in self-defense. Rittenhouse even received support from former President Donald Trump.

Photos and video footage of Rittenhouse sobbing through his testimony has circulated online, but not everyone is believing that his emotions are true. LeBron James chimed in on Twitter to give his assessment of Rittenhouse’s tears when he reposted a tweet by USA Today.

“What tears????? I didn’t see one. Man knock it off! That boy ate some lemon heads before walking into court. [rolling on the floor laughing emojis].” If convicted, Rittenhouse is facing life behind bars. Check out James’s tweet and more reactions below.

There are some circles that believe fans need to pick sides or styles when it comes to the artists they enjoy. In the realm of women in Rap, there are some who degrade artists for showing too much skin or accuse them of not adhering to what they believe is Hip Hop, while others are respected amid praises for their pen game. Denzel Curry believes that both ideals can coexist and he explained why in a recent sit-down with XXL.

The Florida rapper caught up with the publication and broke down the lyrics to his single, “The Game.” On the track, Curry raps: “You don’t need to brag or dress up when all your sh*t flame / Sabotaging other Black men, bruh, all that sh*t lame / I got love for Megan, but also got love for Noname / And I won’t stop speaking to y’all until I change.”

Curry was asked about the line mentioning his Rap peers Megan Thee Stallion and Noname, two women who approach their careers differently.

“When it came down to the bar itself, it was showing that I have respect for all women of Hip Hop,” said Curry. “Noname, I know her personally and she can rap. I f*ck with everything that Noname is saying, when it comes down to her book club, and what we gotta do as a Black community. She really cares about her community, so, of course, I’ma f*ck with her.”

“I’ma f*ck with Megan ’cause she’s a bad b*tch. And she could rap! They are really strong personalities, very conflicting, but they state the same message. They’re showing empowerment, not just the female power but Black female power. Black female energy.” Listen to “The Game” below.

It seems that YFN Lucci is reevaluating the company he keeps. The rapper has been facing serious charges after authorities alleged that he was involved in a murder back in December 2020. He also faces racketeering charges and has remained out of the limelight as he and his legal team attempt to keep him out of prison, but Lucci appeared on his Instagram Story with a message about loyalty.

We recently reported that YFN Lucci has received a trial date set for May 2022, and now that he is six months out from learning his fate, he has something to say about fairweather friends.

“Everybody I Ever Told I Love I SHOWED EM,” he wrote. “Funny How Some Never Showed Me They Only Told Me!!!!!” This message is open to interpretation but fans are comparing Lucci’s plight to that of Casanova. Th eNew York rapper has been incarcerated since December 2020 and has often spoken out about people he believed were his friends abandoning him in his time of need.

Meanwhile, back in June, Lucci’s lawyer Drew Findling denied allegations that the rapper was involved in gang activity. “He’s not a gang member. What he is is an internationally recognized musical artist that is a triple platinum winner, that has performed all over the United States and all over the world.”

The rapper has maintained his innocence and has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.

There was a brief moment when some believed that Coi Leray and Pressa had broken up, but the pair of rappers claim their romance is hotter than ever. The two are hoping to climb the Rap charts and become the next huge artists in the genre, and because they are entertainers who happen to be dating, their relationship often overshadows their talents.

Coi and Pressa have found themselves subjected to trolls and negativity, but in our recent interview with the Toronto star, Pressa says he and his famous girlfriend aren’t concerned with critics.

“We ain’t worried about no motherf*cking comments,’ he recently told HNHH. “It ain’t coming from nobody that ain’t got sh*t in life to do. We ain’t worried about no motherf*cker that lives out their mama house, tweeting.” Coi also mentioned Pressa on Twitter where she complimented him and added she would defend her relationship if necessary.

“Pressa is a Filipino & Jamaican Canadian man. Yes he’s a pretty boy and has manners but don’t get it twisted !!!!” the “Twinnem” rapper tweeted. “His beautiful brown skin, and long Asian hair might tickle y’all feathers but try it hoe.” You can check out Coi’s warning below and make sure to read our interview: Toronto Legend Pressa Is Making A Name For Himself In America.
