New Hip Hop News

We may be witnessing signs of dissension from one of hip-hop’s favorite couples. Quavo and Saweetie are “relationship goals” to a lot of hip-hop fans but they may be having some trouble staying afloat because, as The Shade Room and other blogs noticed, they’ve both hit that “unfollow” button on each other.

On Wednesday night, it was reported that Saweetie unfollowed her boyfriend Quavo on Instagram. While, at the time, Quavo was still following his icy princess, that changed overnight when Quavo also hit the “unfollow” switch. This doesn’t automatically signal that the couple is headed towards a break-up, but it could definitely hint at something in that realm. Of course, they could also just be in the middle of a petty couple fight, taking temporary measures to not look out for one another before getting back to their lovefest.

Still, with these reports, fans are already predicting the worst and wondering about what possibly could have gone wrong to cause a rift between Quavo and Saweetie, two people who seemed to be madly in love.

Do you think we’ll be hearing about the end of their relationship soon? Here’s hoping that this is just a false alarm and everything is alright with these two lovebirds.

Recently, Saweetie was a guest on Respectfully Justin with her ex-boyfriend Justin Combs and Instagram star Justin Laboy. Things got a little awkward at times between the rapper and Combs, given their past relationship. At one point, Saweetie was asked about whether she would consider having a threesome if Quavo wanted one, and her answer shook up the room. Read more about that here.

Kanye West has never shied away from sharing his master plan with the world. The genius recording artist has perfectly transitioned from a role primarily in the music industry to one that encompasses all sorts of different areas, including fashion, design, education, and more. Back in 2013, West told the BBC that he intended on being the brains behind a billion-dollar company before leveling up and owning the first trillion-dollar company. With the latest reports about his finances, it’s been confirmed that the first part of the mission is complete, with Kanye becoming the wealthiest Black man in American history in the last week.

According to reports by multiple outlets, including Bloomberg, Complex, and Hypebeast, Kanye West is reportedly the richest Black man in American history. The music and fashion mogul is presently worth a staggering $6.6 billion USD, with more than half of that money coming from his Yeezy business empire. West is the sole owner of Yeezy, and he also has a significant stake in Kim Kardashian’s Skims shapewear line. 

Less than five years ago, Kanye West told his fans that he was $53 million in personal debt. Throughout his journey to becoming America’s richest Black man in history, he never gave up on his dreams, always continued to believe in himself and his ideas, and took chances.

Congratulations to one of the most influential men on the planet, Kanye West, on such an outstanding achievement.

It’s almost time for Summer Walker and London On Da Track to welcome their baby into the world, and both artists are ready for their dose of parenthood. Early on, the couple avoided the gossip of a suspected pregnancy, but once she began to show, Summer was more than happy to share her journey with her fans. She recently posted a photo from her baby shower, and now she and London return in matching ‘fits with news about their upcoming addition.

Over on London’s page, the producer shared a series of pictures from their pregnancy photoshoot and the couple complemented each other’s looks. Summer donned a beautiful, red, shimmering slit dress while her beau showed out in a matching suit. In the caption to the photos, London wrote, “Waitin on princess bubblegum to arrive,” revealing that the couple is expecting a girl.

Recently, Summer shared a few more shots of her growing baby belly and she even took a moment to play the guitar and sing a bit for both herself and her fans. Check out posts from the happy couple below including Summer’s serenade.

Officers interrupted what could have been a frightening scene on Wednesday (March 17) after detaining a man who was caught lurking near the vice president’s private residence in Washington, D.C. Kamala Harris and her husband Doug Emhoff weren’t at the location because they’ve been reportedly residing at Blair House while the vice presidential home undergoes renovations following the change of authority. A spokesperson for the Washington Metropolitan Police stated, “At approximately 12:12 pm, to the 3400 block of Massachusetts Avenue, NW in reference to a suspicious person based on an intelligence bulletin that originated from Texas, who was detained by US Secret Service.”

A report by CNN states that authorities detained 31-year-old Paul Murray near the Naval Observatory, and upon inspection of his vehicle, they recovered an “AR-15 semi-automatic rifle, 113 rounds of unregistered ammunition, and five 30 round magazines.” The mention of the “Texas intelligence bulletin” suggests that authorities may have been aware that he may pose a threat.

Murray has been hit with several charges including “carrying a dangerous weapon, carrying a rifle or shotgun outside of a business, possession of unregistered ammunition, and possession of a large capacity ammunition feeding device.” It’s unclear what his potential punishment would be or how long he will remain in police custody.

The COVID-19 pandemic hit almost everyone pretty hard as workplaces struggled to stay afloat. Millions of people were fired, furloughed, or laid off, and in the entertainment industry, artists struggled to maintain their “ballin’ out of control” lifestyles without making appearances or performing live shows. We’ve been easing our way into a new normal and artists are back to hitting the club scene, but during the filming of Growing Up Hip Hop Atlanta last year, Waka Flocka admitted that his finances had taken a hit.

“I ain’t do no shows in like, three months,” Waka complained. His mother, Deb Antney, understood things were tight, considering it was during the peak time of quarantine. “I’m broke,” Waka repeated. Deb couldn’t believe it and said she wasn’t worried about her son running out of money anytime soon.

“If you don’t make money ma, technically, you don’t got money,” he said. “I lost millions.” Ms. Deb told him that he needs to save more, but Waka replied, “I go back to zero every year, ma, and this year is not looking good.” In a green screen interview, Waka reiterated that he’d lost out on making millions of dollars, but explained that his version of being broke is “different.”

“My broke, people say is they rich,” added the rapper. “But what I am gonna do is figure out new business ventures. I’m just goin’ with the wind, man. I’m going with the water, I ain’t goin’ against the ocean.” Elsewhere, Waka revealed that he’s making a return to music, but he’s not going to “do what he’s usually been doing in music.” Check out the clip below.

They thought they were going to get Saweetie to name a woman she would have a threesome with if her man asked, but in the end, she pulled a fast one. The Bay Area rapper recently appeared on Respectfully Justin, the new show hosted by Justin Combs and Justin LaBoy. The show’s recent debut featured Chris Brown, and for the second episode, Saweetie dropped by. The rapper answered a series of questions posed by the hosts, including one about whether or not she’d have a threesome with her man, Quavo.

She was asked if she has a man who is respectful, loves her, and does all that she wants, would she have a threesome if he asked, and if so, who would she bring home. She seemed to be mulling it over and she said, “He’s doing everything right, shopping sprees, good communication, picking up the phone one ring.” Justin LaBoy added a few more highlights that included paying all of her bills and toe-sucking to make it all seem more tempting to want to “make him happy” with a threesome.

“So, a threesome, right? I normally talk to men who are cultured, who been around the world, who know a lot of people,” said Saweetie as LaBoy attempted to interrupt. “I understand that,” she continued. “And because he doin’ everything right, I’m gonna give him the honor of pickin’ the n*gga we havin’ a threesome with.”

To say that everyone in the room was shocked by her response, especially the Justins, is an understatement. Check out the full episode below.

It’s never too late to list off your resolutions and goals, and Ari Fletcher has shared a few of hers with the world. The model and social media personality doesn’t fail to share her jet-setting escapades and lavish gift exchanges with boyfriend Moneybagg Yo, but there are a few things that she would like to accomplish sooner than later. She took to her Instagram Story to list her goals, but the internet wouldn’t let her be great after noticing slight misspellings.

“I WANT… Go out the country (PRIVATE JET ONLY),” she began. “RR cullinan Truck, 2 new properties, Penthouse in a different city, A fish tank and a piano in my new house, New Jewlery, Invest in Stocks, Teach me how to do realistate, Buy all my inventory for my new businesses, 250K just because it’s Tuesday, Happiness and peace of mind.”

Like millions of others, Ari forgot to spell check in a few places and the public wouldn’t let her off of the hook. The teasing poured in on various platforms, but Fletcher returned to set the record straight about her intellect. “I went to college and graduated. By the way… [celebrate emoji],” she later wrote on her Instagram Story. Check it out below.

We’ve heard of song and album releases that have gone from announcements to phantom projects, but Benny The Butcher is promising that he does have a Drake collaboration on deck. Both artists began teasing their joint effort in late 2019, and in February 2020, it was officially announced the two rappers had cooked up something in the studio. However, fans continue to wait for news about a release, and every few months, Benny returns to tease whatever they’ve worked on behind the scenes.

Once again, Benny The Butcher confirms that the Drake collaboration is complete and told Big Facts Podcast that the release is all about timing. “It’s hard, but it’s really not that hard,” said Benny about sitting on a Drake record. “It’s like this, it’s like, levels, you know what I’m saying? I wanna—sh*t, it’s a record from Drake. I want it to work out…” One of the hosts said the word “maximize” and the rapper agreed. “Exactly. It’s a build-up thing. It’s not just about getting it and throwing it up, and it’s about timing. That’s motherf*ckin’ Drake, Aubrey Graham. So, even if you got a record with that n*gga, you can’t just throw it out. You gotta get ready when he ready, too. It’s all that type of sh*t so, you know what I mean, it’s just whenever.”

“How we were saying about the followers and all that a few minutes ago, I’m appreciative of n*ggas like that who just not reaching out to n*ggas who just got—’cause he could work with anybody… I’m appreciative of that,” he continued. “To be honest with you, even if them sh*ts never came out, the conversations that we had…I know that he a guy who respects my flow and I respect his and what he’s done in the game, so it’s about that. But I can’t wait for this motherf*ckin record.“

The hosts wanted to know if it was a “bars record” and Benny replied, “He’s talkin’ his sh*t like he always do, definitely.” Are you excited about this collaboration? Watch the clip of Benny The Butcher on Big Facts Podcast below.
