New Hip Hop News

It was just yesterday (October 18) when reports began to fly that Darius McCrary and Sidney Starr were an item, but the gossip was quickly shut down. The Family Matters icon was previously said to have been dating Kevin Hart’s ex-wife Torrei Hart, and while fans believed that romance was still brewing, new reports claim that McCrary had linked with the trans reality television star.

Sidney shared photos and videos showing her with McCrary and in the captions, she praised their friendship. However, after social media turned them into a trending topic, McCrary returned to deny that he is romantically involved with Starr.

That seemed to be the end of things as people condemned Starr for suggesting they have been together for a year. It was easy for some to hurl the “liar” accusations considering Starr was previously caught fibbing about her interactions with Chingy all those years ago. At the time, she suggested that she had a relationship with the rapper and although she later admitted to lying about it, Chingy would reveal that the scandal caused him to lose a record deal, ending his Rap career.

This time, however, Starr has supporters who have come forward to co-sign her rumored relationship with McCrary. While he seems to deny that they are together, a new video showing them at a photoshoot kissing, cuddling, and Starr twerking on him has also circulated. McCrary hasn’t addressed this clip, but it continues to keep the rumor mill turning. 

Star updated her followers by sharing another photo of her and McCrary, and in the caption, she said no matter what, they’re still friends.

The second season of Games People Play premiered on Tuesday (October 19) evening and to help hype the series, BET asked a few celebrities about what they value in relationships. The hit series stars Lauren London, Kendall Kyndall, Karrueche Tran, Jackie Long, and Parker McKenna Posey, and in a promo video, BET questioned Keyshia Cole about the craziest thing she’s ever done in a relationship.

“I’ve literally never shared this with anybody, so this is the first time,” she said with a laugh.

“But, climb up on someone’s roof, from the car, to the window, to the room window to see if he was in there with another girl,” she continued. “And he actually was and this was my first love and of course I left. I had to see what was going on. The games people play.” She also revealed what she believes is more important in a relationship: love or loyalty? “I would have  to say loyalty ’cause that thang hits different when you know it’s yours, literally.”

After this clip went viral, some people rehashed the singer’s 2014 arrest where she stood accused of attacking a woman at Birdman’s home. Reports at the time stated that Cole and Birdman were dating but she allegedly caught him with another woman named Sabrina Mercadel. Sabrina would later sue Cole and was reportedly awarded a default judgment of $100K.

People did not believe Lil Baby when he shared that Young Thug paid him to stop wheeling and dealing in the streets, and now Thugger is confirming the story. According to the Quality Control rapper, he was deep in the trenches when Young Thug paid him to stay out of the streets and instead, record at the studio. A little guidance, incentive, and of course cash was all Baby needed and we see that the rest is history.

We have been sharing gems from Thugger’s recent interview with The Breakfast Club and during the conversation, he revealed why he opted to just pay Lil Baby to begin his Rap career.

“I was just…I just didn’t want him to go back to prison,” said Thug. “I was scared for him to go back to jail ’cause he had just did a bid. He got straight outta jail and went straight back to the same neighborhood. The same house that the police bust and locked him up. He went right back to the same house. It was a spot. I think I was more scared for him, of like prison.”

Young Thug admitted that Baby was already popular and reminded him of himself. “Before rap, he was getting a lot of likes on his Instagram, and people like… He had nice ass captions. Like bro, you should try to make a song. Just show him the life, took him a few times everywhere. You know? He started seeing, this sh*t kinda easy. We grew up together, too. It makes it seem like it’s easy if he seen me do it.”

Lil Baby would be paid anywhere from $2K to $5K to go to the studio and record, however, Thugger revealed that Baby has a gambling problem. “He for sure lost ten times more money than he ever had,” said Thugger. Watch the clip, and the interview in its entirety, below

He may have spent his day filtering through messages after clowning Kanye West, but Chris Brown turned things around when he showed gratitude to Boosie Badazz. The state of Brown’s relationship with West is to be determined after the Chicago icon removed the singer from Donda. Initially, Brown complained about West not playing his Donda verse at the Chicago listening event, and following the criticism, Ye axed the R&B icon from the album altogether.

Brown’s musical reputation in the industry is unmatched as he has been able to triumph through every scandal with one hit record after another. This leaves many to debate his greatness as compared to artists considered to be legends in the game, including Michael Jackson.

Boosie Badazz sat down with VladTV once again and talked about hitmakers like Jackson and R. Kelly, and during his chat, the rapper also praised Brown for his contributions to the industry.

“You gotta compare Chris Brown,” said Boosie. “I saw that n*gga come down—boy, that’s a bad motherf*cker. I saw that n*gga come down on the screen…I didn’t see Michael Jackson, but I saw C. Breezy and I saw, the same thing I saw on the  sh*t I be watching, if I see Michael Jackson, girls passing out. I seen ’em pass out. I seen ’em with my own eyes. I seen ’em with my own motherf*ckin’ eyes, they passin’ out.”

Brown shared the clip to his Instagram page and added, “Appreciate the love MY BROTHER. I’m thankful I was able to witness MJs greatness and HE inspired me to be CHRIS BROWN. [praying hands emoji][red heart emoji].” Those debates regarding whether or not Brwn has surpassed Jackson’s legacy have been reignited, so check out the clip below and let us know where you stand in the music war.

The ongoing legal drama between Rick Ross and the mother of his three children, Briana Camille, has unfolded for the world to see. Briana gave birth to their third child last year amid litigation over child support for their other kids. Accusations have been flying as the pair’s estranged relationship makes headlines, and now, Briana will be sharing her side of the story on a new series.

A trailer for Getting Back to Bri was shared earlier today (October 19) and in it, Briana doesn’t hold back in sharing her journey.

“I can’t believe fat girl took the blood test and I’m the daddy,” Ross is seen saying in the video before it moves on to Brianna’s reaction. 

“The video that Rick put out of me was very immature. It was more so hurtful that I self-consciously deal with it,” she said. “I just went through so much with my pregnancy,” she added while crying before revealing that she may have been dealing with post-partum depression. “I didn’t want to be bothered with my kids right now. Like, I don’t know, I should be wanting to bond with the baby, but it’s like, I just really can’t.” 

According to Brianna, she is fighting with Rick Ross about having the kids covered under his insurance but she’s been faced with “denial letters.” She added, “Rick and I are in a really complicated situation. We’re going through this legal battle, it’s so public, it’s getting messy.”

“At the end of the day, the bigger picture is our children,” said Brianna. Getting Back to Bri arrives courtesy of the For Us By Us Network and Fox Soul. It is set to premiere sometime in November.

We have already received two installments of the Kill Bill franchise and if fans have their way, a third will arrive in the future. Quentin Tarantino’s classic Kill Bill movies starred the likes of Uma Thurman, Lucy Liu, David Carradine, and Vivica A. Fox as they captivated global audiences with action-packed storylines. Volume 2 was released back in 2004 and since that time, Kill Bill fans have been awaiting news on whether or not a Volume 3 is on the way. 

According to Variety, Tarantino seemingly addressed the question while accepting the lifetime achievement award at the Rome Film Festival.

Someone reported asked the filmmaker if Volume 3 would ever arrive, and Tarantino answered, “Why not?” That was all we are going to get out of him about that for the time being, but he did reveal that before tackling a third Kill Bill, “I want to make a comedy.” He said he will soon be releasing a book and may be working on a television series, but comedies are on his brain.

“It’s not like my next movie. It’s a piece of something else that I’m thinking about doing — and I’m not going to describe what it is,” Tarantino said. “But part of this thing, there is supposed to be a Spaghetti Western in it… I’m looking forward to shooting that [thing] because it’s going to be really fun. Because I want to shoot it in the Spaghetti Western style where everybody’s speaking a different language,” he reportedly said with a laugh.

We will have to wait and see how that develops, but fans are still wishing for Kill Bill Volume 3 sooner than later.
