New Hip Hop News

Even people who aren’t fans of reality television have kept this story as a trending topic. Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams has lived her life out loud since joining the Bravo cast back in 2012, and since that time, she’s found her name engrossed in several controversies. Within the last two seasons of the show, viewers saw her developing a relationship with businessman Dennis McKinley, then the pair got engaged and revealed they were expecting a child together, but soon, their relationship ended after McKinley admitted to cheating.

Porsha has kept her love life on the low and instead has shone a light on her activism, primarily her work on behalf of Breonna Taylor’s case. She was arrested last year during a protest, and while that seemed like a scandal to her fans, her Monday (May 10) revelation took social media by storm.

There have been rumors about Real Housewives of Atlanta newcomer Falynn Guobadia’s marriage to Simon Guobadia, and some speculated that Porsha was dating her friend’s ex-husband. On Instagram, Porsha uploaded a photo of herself with Simon, and in the caption, she detailed their romance.

“Our relationship began a month ago—yes we are crazy in love,” wrote Porsha. “I know it’s fast but we are living life each day to its fullest. I choose happiness every morning and every night. Tuning out all negative energy and only focused on positive wishes. He makes me so happy and to me, that is what matters most.” She added that Simon filed for divorce from his “previous marriage” in January and it’s rumored that it was finalized in March.

Porsha was how Falynn was introduced to the show, as a friend. The two had scenes where Falynn welcomed Porsha into her home, met Simon, and the ladies even took a dip in the pool. However, in her post, Porsha denies that there was a friendship. “Falynn and I are not friends, and Simon’s divorce has been settled. Our relationship is a positive, loving step forward in everybody’s lives.”

Tamar Braxton, Teairra Marie, Nene Leakes, and thousands of others sent Porsha and Simon well wishes. The reality star added that her ex-fiancé and her new love Simon are committed to keeping the peace. Falynn has yet to publicly comment, but everyone from the Pop to Rap to the entertainment industry as a whole has kept this story at the top of trends since Porsha’s announcement was made.

Later, Simon revealed in a lengthy post that he has proposed to Porsha and they’re preparing for their happily ever after following a one-month courtship. He previously insinuated that his marriage to Falynn ended because she was unfaithful. The big debate is: What would you do if you were Falynn? And could you date your friend’s ex-husband? Check out posts and reactions below.

Last month, Danielle “Bhad Bhabie” Bregoli turned 18-years-old. The teen has been a storm in the entertainment industry ever since she made her infamous appearance on Dr. Phil as a 13-year-old problem child, and while she’s been making business moves on her own for years, she’s finally a legal adult. Not long after ringing in her 18th birthday, Bregoli launched her OnlyFans page, and within six hours, she claims she’d already made $1 million.

People took several issues with the OnlyFans reveal because they believe that she’s being groomed, is too young to be on the site, or questioned why so many people were quick to follow when she’d only just turned 18. TMZ caught up with the young star and she called out critics, stating that she believes they’re jealous of her success.

“I think any b*tch who says that is mad ’cause they didn’t make as much money as me on there,” said the rapper. “That’s obvious! Like, how could you be mad that someone younger—that’s like seeing somebody, that’s like seeing a banker make millions and millions of dollars and say, oh no, banking should be changed. You can’t bank unless you’re twenty-one and older, just ’cause they’re young. Like, what? So, if I was twenty-one, you’re gonna say that it should be twenty-five? When I’m twenty-five are you gonna say it should be thirty?”

“Listen, I’m not groomed by nobody. I make all my own decisions and I have been since I was very young,” she added. Check out her clip below and see what else she had to say about people who say its cheating if their significant other subscribes to women’s profiles on OnlyFans.

Death Row Records has suggested that something major is coming from its team in days to come, and as fans await news about what the infamous label has to offer, a producer close with the camp is speaking about their glory days. Last week, a clip from Curt “Kurt Kobane” Couthon’s interview with The Art of Dialogue caused a ruckus after he made claims that singer Michel’le, Dr. Dre’s ex-fiancé and mother to his child, told Tupac Shakur that she caught Dre in bed with another man. She later came forward to reportedly deny any such conversation, but the story had already gone viral.

In another clip from the same interview, Kobane shares that he believes Tupac’s affiliation with Death Row is what helped lead to his untimely murder during a Las Vegas drive-by shooting in 1996. He was 25-years-old.

“He wasn’t just in the circle, he was next to the guy who ran the circle,” Kobane said of Tupac’s relationship with Death Row’s former head honcho, Suge Knight. When asked if he believes that Tupac joining the label was his downfall, Kobane said yes. “I might get a lot of bullsh*t for saying it, but looking at it, and being in the inside and not just looking at it from a fan point of who this person was and who this person was, yeah. It was his downfall because he became something that he’d never been before. He never had that power.“

Then, Kobane was asked about Keyshia Cole’s involvement with the label around that time. “She was a part of, I believe, Hammer’s situation from Oakland,” adding that Keyshia was “eleven or twelve.” He said, “She was really like a fish out of water in this situation ’cause she’s only 12-years-old, she’s trying to do R&B at Death Row Records… So, we was really working with her project which we wasn’t taking too serious at the time.”

According to Kobane, he was the co-leader of the R&B department and while Keyshia wasn’t a priority to them, Kobane claims “Suge was giving her power. She was like, Suge little niece or something, you know what I’m sayin’? At twelve. She was gettin’ whatever the f*ck she want so if she want studio time, you had to go work with Keyshia.”

He added that Keyshia and Tupac were “close” because they bonded over Oakland. “When Pac died, she was right there with us. She was right there.” Watch Kurt Kobane share his experiences below.

This week’s No. 1 spot was dusted off in preparation for DJ Khaled to sit pretty at the top. The megaproducer called together some of the hottest artists in Pop, R&B, and Hip Hop in order to deliver a star-studded project slated for high streaming numbers. Since its release, Khaled Khaled music videos have taken over the internet, and one of the most talked-about collaborations came from former foes Jay-Z and Nas uniting on “Sorry Not Sorry” with James Fauntleroy and Harmonies by the Hive.

While the song has been praised near and far, Gillie Da Kid isn’t a fan of Hov’s bars on the track. Wallo27 recently shared a video of Gillie behind the wheel as the pair engage in a playful fight about new rappers versus the old heads. Wallo267 quipped that Gillie listened to back-to-back Lil Durk records.

“I don’t listen to them old n*ggas. I don’t listen to those dinosaurs no more,” Gillie joked in the clip. Wallo267 told him he didn’t know anything about music. “Oh, you want me to throw Jay on talkin’ about a ‘B and then another B and then a double B.'” Wallo began to laugh. Gillie continued, “‘Can’t forget about the other B.’ That sh*t was corny! That sh*t was corny as sh*t.”

“Don’t give a f*ck what none of these n*ggas say. I ain’t throwin’ that sh*t on,” Gillie added before once again mocking Jay-Z’s “Sorry Not Sorry” delivery. Check out the post below along with the music video for DJ Khaled’s “Sorry Not Sorry” featuring Jay-Z, Nas, James Fauntleroy, and Harmonies by the Hive.

Prior to DMX being laid to rest, reports surfaced the Swizz Beatz wanted Kanye West to attend the service. The world hasn’t heard much from West in recent months as the award-winning artist is currently enduring a highly-publicized divorce from Kim Kardashian. As the headlines take over media outlets worldwide, Ye has reportedly been hunkered down and enjoying his privacy.

However, the call for Ye to help celebrate DMX and attend his homegoing was answered. The memorial service aired in real-time online and the fans that tuned in were able to catch West’s Sunday Service Choir give moving performances. When asked about his friend’s participation, Swizz insisted that Kanye delivered from a pure heart.

“Very short notice. It was a very, very genuine act of love and support from Ye. It wasn’t much talking, it wasn’t no negotiating. It was, X Showed up to his Sunday Service and was a big fan of it and so, I knew this was something X would want to do, and Kanye was more than happy to facilitate his expertise and his choir.”

Getting everything together proved to be difficult and Swizz revealed that the stage was still being erected immediately before cameras began rolling. “It was last minute, people don’t know what we was dealing with behind the scenes,” he added. “That’s why it wasn’t televised when people got in there because the stage was still being built because everything was just so last minute.”
