New Hip Hop News

Joe Budden has officially come out as bisexual on his podcast, claiming that he is sexually attracted to both men and women. This comes after years of speculation about the retired rapper’s sexuality.

“I’m bisexual,” he said on his show on Thursday. “How do I spread this news? How do I spread the word? Yo, listen, I like guys and girls. Spread the word. I’m down.”

The shocking announcement has hip-hop fans reacting all over social media, sharing their thoughts on Budden’s coming out. Previously, the podcaster was romantically involved with Cyn Santana, Kaylin Garcia, Tahiry Jose, and other women. He has never been in a public relationship with a man.

The 41-year-old seemingly felt comfortable enough at this stage of his career to finally share his open truth with the world, and with the way hip-hop is starting to open up to a more diverse range of sexualities among rap representatives, Budden may have felt as though now was the most appropriate time for him to share his story. As people continue reacting to the news that he’s bisexual, we will keep you posted on any more information or announcements from the former rapper.

Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson continue to pour gas on the fire. 

Last night (Nov. 3), the duo met for their second dinner date this week Zero Bond, a private members’ club in Manhattan. After Pete arrived first with a group of his friends, Kim followed accompanied by her good friend Jonathan “Foodgod” Cheban.

The meeting apparently caused such a commotion that a fight ensued between those looking on outside the venue. 

Kim reportedly is attracted to Pete’s sense of humor, as they always seem to be laughing with one another. Each of them are fresh out of relationships as Kim is in the midst of a divorce with Kanye West, while Pete and Phoebe Dynevor, star of Bridgerton, ended their relationship in August.

The night before, Kardashian and Davidson linked up in Pete’s hometown Staten Island where he arranged a fancy dinner for them. While last night’s affair included several friends, the date two nights ago was just the two of them.

This now marks the third time Kim and Pete have been seen in public together, with the first time being their roller coaster adventure at Knott’s Berry Farm amusement park in California.

Kim Kardashian’s guest appearance on Saturday Night Live in early October first sparked this fling as her and Davidson engaged in an on-screen kiss during one of the skits. Now, the connection has gained serious momentum over the past few weeks, as we await both Kim and Pete’s next steps.

Just a couple of weeks ago, there seemed to be some rumblings that Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver was about to be exposed in a piece by ESPN. There were reportedly going to be allegations of sexism, racism, and even harassment, which had the Suns preparing a statement for whatever was on the horizon. Fans waited with bated breath for the news, and now, it has finally arrived.

Today, Baxter Holmes of ESPN published his piece which had some truly bombshell allegations. One of the more interesting ones came from a situation in 2016 where Sarver used the N-Word while talking to the Suns coaching staff. After playing the Warriors, Sarver spoke to head coach Earl Watson and went on a rant about Draymond Green’s use of the word. Watson was visibly upset by it although at the time, nothing was done about the incident.

Per ESPN:

“After the loss, Suns majority owner Robert Sarver entered the coaches locker room, Watson told ESPN.

“You know, why does Draymond Green get to run up the court and say [N-word],” Sarver, who is white, allegedly said, repeating the N-word several times in a row.

“You can’t say that,” Watson, who is Black and Hispanic, told Sarver.

“Why?” Sarver replied. “Draymond Green says [N-word].”

“You can’t f—ing say that,” Watson said again.”

Watson is now speaking his truth on the matter, and it does not look good for Sarver. It was stated that if Adam Silver were to launch an investigation into the Suns, he would be shocked by the results. With that in mind, the Suns could be facing some huge problems in the immediate future.

Portland-based recording artist Aminé returns tonight, announcing the release of his upcoming project TwoPointFive. The tape will feature twelve new songs, including the previously released “Charmander.”

The creative rapper made the announcement by sharing his tracklist, which includes songs titled “YiPiYay” and “Dididumduhduh.” It was executive produced by Aminé, with additional production from Maaly Raw, F1lthy, and more. 

“The POINTFIVE projects are the breaks in between albums where I give myself the freedom to make music without expectations, focusing instead of spontaneity and the best of what comes from stream of conscious creation, which is why they arrive unexpectedly without a long rollout,” explained Aminé in a new press release. “It’s an opportunity to create for my day one fans the way I used to in my bedroom. Thanks for listening.”

Aminé is set to explore new sonic ground with the upcoming release, with the rapper claiming he was inspired by various strains of club and dance music. TwoPointFive serves as the continuation of 2018’s OnePointFive, and it drops tonight.

Check out the tracklist in the post below, and swipe to check out the colorful cover artwork. Will you be checking out Aminé’s new project TwoPointFive when it drops at midnight?

On Kanye West’s “New God Flow,” G.O.O.D. Music president, Pusha T, handles the first two verses. 

Halfway through the first verse, Push explains how Kanye brought him to G.O.O.D. and that he thought it was “good that Ye got a blow dealer.” However, Push also clarified that he wasn’t there just to rap alongside Mr. West. He was there to be Kanye’s right-hand man. 

“I came aboard for more than just to rhyme with ’em,” he rapped. “Think ’99 when Puff woulda had Shyne with him.”

While “New God Flow” was released in 2012, Pusha’s reference to Puff Daddy and his Bad Boy Records signee, Shyne, was as poignant as ever. 

At that point, Puff (aka Diddy) and Shyne were still on bad terms. After Diddy essentially threw Shyne under the bus during a 2001 trial for a nightclub shooting that had happened two years prior, the “Bad Boyz” rapper was sentenced to ten years in prison. He was released early, in 2009, but was almost immediately deported to his native Belize, and was not allowed back into the United States. 

Just a couple months ago, however, Shyne made his triumphant return to the states — this time as a diplomat, and with the help of Diddy himself. 

During his time stateside, Shyne reunited with the likes of Jay-Z and other prominent figures from his time in New York City in the late-90s and early-2000s, but most importantly, he reunited with Diddy. 

And two-and-a-half months after their reunion, it seems as if Puff and Shyne are still on good terms. 

Taking to Instagram with a couple of photos of he and Diddy sipping on some celebratory wine, Shyne wished his former record boss a happy 52nd birthday with a heartfelt message. 

“Birthday Blessings my brother @diddy,” he wrote. “Health, Happiness & LOVE.” 

It’s unclear if the photos are recent, or if they are from their time together in August, but after nearly two decades of rumors of betrayal and animosity, it is a welcome sight to see Puff and Shyne back together. There’s no concrete way to make up for lost time, but with the 25th anniversary of The Notorious B.I.G.’s death approaching, every Bad Boy reunion feels more and more important. 

What do you think of Shyne’s birthday message to Diddy? Let us know in the comments.
