Dame Dash Under Fire For His Hot Take About Parenting

October 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Dame Dash is taking care of a lot of family matters these days. For example, he recently revealed why he waited longer than others would’ve to evacuate Florida with his family due to the passage of Hurricane Milton. Now, the Roc-A-Fella executive divided fans with his hot take about parenting. Basically, he doesn’t want his son to be more influenced by his mother’s “feminine” sensibilities, although his overall point isn’t as hot-button as this specific statement.

“How can I let him hang out with somebody but his dad?” Dame Dash said on Instagram Live with his son alongside him. “Don’t let another man be his influence. Or even let, you know, his mother be the one that is his strongest influence and have him doing feminine stuff. You know what I mean? We a man right here, right? Give me five. We know how to take – don’t leave me hanging, give me five. Alright, then. We know our job, you know what I mean? You know, I have to lead by example in front of him.” Check out reactions to Dame’s take in the comments section of the Instagram post below.

“It’s important because I’m the source of, like, inspiration, or at least, you know, his definition of what a man is and what he sees,” Dame Dash continued. “So I got to make sure he sees the right stuff, and that he gets the nice swag. I don’t tell him to wear a bucket. He makes me wear a bucket hat, right? And you like your Hot Wheels and all that, your cars? You like the country club life? He picked all that, not us. He swims he does all that. So I’m having a ball, I’m not going to hold you. And I want to lead by example. I want to show y’all.”

Elsewhere, Dame Dash is also dealing with issues with his former chosen family. If you haven’t heard by now, his auction of his Reasonable Doubt shares from Roc-A-Fella as a result of a court-ordered judgement collection is still in limbo. This is due to a legal dispute involving the state of New York and Jay-Z and his team, and there’s no telling where it will end up. Let us know what you think about this parenting take in the comments section down below.

Cassie’s Songwriter Recalls Diddy’s Disturbing Alleged Phone Call With Singer

October 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy’s recent arrest and ongoing legal battle have prompted various individuals from his past to come forward to share their own alleged stories. One of these individuals, Cassie’s songwriter Tiffany Red, recently opened up about the experiences she allegedly had with him on ABC’s Secret Life of Diddy — A Special Edition of 20/20. She recalled one particularly chilling alleged phone conversation she heard Diddy and Cassie have, which tipped her off to the fact that something was off.

“Is someone in the car with you?” Red remembered Diddy allegedly asking Cassie, according to Us Weekly. “I know someone is in the car with you… That was my first time being, like, ‘Something is wrong.’” She went on to detail another disturbing alleged interaction, which she says took place in August of 2015, right around Cassie’s 29th birthday.

Tiffany Red Opens Up About Her Alleged Experiences With Diddy

Red alleges that she saw Diddy get “in [Cassie’s] face,” cuss her out, and more while she was cornered in a room. It’s unclear what prompted the alleged explosion. “He was really mad, he was really close to her face and she just had her head down,” Red also alleged. “My sense was that everybody around him was afraid of him.”

These aren’t the only allegations Red has made against Diddy in recent months, however. In September, she also took to Instagram to share her reaction to his arrest. “While co-creating Cassie’s sophomore album, I was degraded by Sean Combs, deceived by him, his team, and the record labels about the music being released, I was exposed to Diddy’s abuse of Cassie and others in her circle, and I unknowingly consumed something laced without my consent at his Hombly Hills home studio while writing for Cassie back in 2017,” she alleged. Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Pusha T Claims Clipse Album Is Finished As Fans Clamor For A Release Date

October 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Clipse will finally reunite in full-length fashion on Let God Sort ‘Em Out, the upcoming album from brothers Pusha T and No Malice. However, there still isn’t a release date for it, and some fans are already scared that this is just a farce. Fortunately, AllHipHop‘s Chuck Creekmur caught up with the Virginia MCs at the VIP premiere of Pharrell’s new film Piece By Piece, and Push specifically gave fans an update on the LP’s status. “The album’s done,” he remarked. “So, the album’s done, we just [handling] all the logistics right now. It’s ready. So, as soon as it’s ready, y’all getting it. That’s it.”

“It’s time,” No Malice added to Creekmur concerning the Clipse reunion. “It’s time. The album is ready. The album is right. I feel it’s something that hip-hop has been missing. And we got it, so we ready.” Of course, this isn’t the first time that the duo’s spoken on the project or even suggested that it’s finished. There’s actually a mystery feature on the LP that has fans salivating, although we’ll have to wait and see who actually turns up on it.

Pusha T & No Malice Update Fans On Clipse Reunion

“It’s what rap should look like if you’re real about your craft, real about your experience, real about your storytelling,” No Malice told Vulture of the Clipse reunion album back in June. “It’s bringing the fans along to see the growth, not trying to fit in or fabricate. It just seems like in other genres of music, they have the luxury of growing. For some reason, we act like we’re not supposed to evolve. This is what the true evolution of the Clipse looks like. It’s just good to be able to show that and still have high-level raps.”

Meanwhile, whether or not that mystery feature lands or if it’s literally just Pusha T and No Malice, we can’t wait for what Clipse will bring on Let God Sort ‘Em Out. Maybe asking for a 2024 release date is too much, but if it is, then we’re sure that it will fit right in as one of 2025’s biggest rap moments. The fact that we can’t know for sure is what makes rap’s future very exciting. Hopefully there’s greatness right around the corner…

Today In Hip Hop History: AZ Dropped His Debut LP ‘Doe Or Die’ 29 Years Ago

October 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

TodayinHip HopHistory:AZDropsDebut'DoeOrDie'AlbumYearsAgo

On this date in 1995, Antonio Cruz aka AZ from Nas’ “Life’s A Bitch” fame, released his debut album Doe Or Die on EMI Records.

Produced by legendary producers Pete Rock, DITC’s Buckwild, LES, D.R. Period as well as AZ himself, AZ was able to land the deal for this album strictly off of the classic verse he spits on the third track on the iconic Illmatic album.

Tracks sucks as the Pete Rock propelled “Rather Unique”, the dreamy “Sugar Hill”, which features then-unknown songbird Miss Jones and the street fueled “Mo Money, Mo Murder, Mo Homocide” gave this album a verbal variety that was rarely heard, especially from an emcee who was only known at the time for a guest appearance.

A special salute to AZ for holding it down for dolo for an entire quarter of a century, even managing to orchestrate a 15 year anniversary of the album in 2010 on his own Quiet Money imprint, featuring production from the likes of Statik Selektah and Fame of M.O.P.

Lil Baby’s Las Vegas Weapons Case Has Reportedly Been Dropped

October 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Lil Baby (real name Dominique Jones) has one less thing to worry about now: His Las Vegas weapons case has been dropped.

Back in August, it was reported that the rapper was allegedly carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, a felony. Baby was brought to the Clark County Detention Center and held on $5,000 bail.

Lil Baby’s attorneys, Drew Findling and David Chesnoff, told TMZ at the time, “To be clear, Dominique Jones has a valid Georgia Carrying a Concealed Weapon (CCW) Permit. On his behalf we are actively investigating the facts and circumstances surrounding his arrest in Las Vegas.”

Now, though, it appears this is all behind him, as TMZ reports today (October 10) that per legal documents, the charges have been dropped and the Clark County District Attorney is declining to press charges.

In a new statement, Findling and Chesnoff told TMZ, “We’ll let the court record speak for itself.”

This news comes amid a relatively quiet 2024 for Lil Baby. He has popped up for a few collaborations this year, though, including Central Cee’s “Band4Band,” Tay B’s “All Ten,” and 4Batz’s “Roll Da Dice.” Baby ended 2023 with a pair of new songs, “Crazy” and “350,” and fans are currently awaiting the rapper’s first album since 2022’s It’s Only Me.

Diddy To Remain In Jail, More Charges Still On The Table

October 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy and his legal team attended Manhattan federal court on Thursday (October 10) for their latest hearing, and it was a big one. Not only did the defense accept the judge’s offer for a May 2025 trial start date, but prosecutors also suggested that they could add more charges to the Bad Boy mogul’s original indictment given their still-ongoing investigation. Both teams agreed to refrain from speaking to the press moving forward, although the judge did not impose a gag order. Also, the prosecution denied defense attorney Marc Agnifilo’s claims that they leaked grand jury information to the press and are engaging in an unfair “takedown of a successful Black man.”

Back to the possible additional charges, though, this lines up with previous reports that a grand jury spoke to a sex worker allegedly linked to Diddy. However, perhaps the biggest update in the case is that the judge did not receive his third bail appeal, so they did not rule on it this time around. This means that Sean Combs will remain behind bars, and it’s unclear when the court will be able to rule on this bond attempt.

Despite all these developments, we imagine that the accusations against the prosecution that they allegedly leaked grand jury information might remain a contentious point in court. The Diddy case has so many civil allegations and federal accusations tied to it that the discourse against both sides is quite vocal. However, it’s impossible to make a full judgement call until we have a verdict from a court of law. As such, folks are still taking stock of pre-trial court developments more than anything else, especially when it comes to the specific charges against him.

Meanwhile, Diddy reportedly received an emotional prison visit recently from his twin daughters and his mother, so his family remains connected to him. With this latest hearing, we don’t know if the court will follow up on these matters and progress the trial forward sooner than we expect. But at least we have some new dates on the calendar to specifically look out for and be attentive to for new updates.

Diddy’s Judge Offers Him Court Date For 2025 RICO Trial

October 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

We now have an idea of when Diddy’s federal trial for alleged sex trafficking could begin thanks to a Thursday (October 10) hearing. He went to Manhattan federal court to attempt to secure bail for a third time, and according to the Inner City Press, his judge offered him and his team a start date for his trial of May 5, 2025. Also, the judge clarified that he could move it to April, but Sean Combs’ lawyer Marc Agnifilo accepted the May start date. However, it’s unclear whether or not this set the start date in stone or if the court still has to officially confirm this date.

Nevertheless, prosecutors reportedly suggested to the judge that their case will last three weeks. In addition, the judge also set a discovery hearing for December 18, for which Diddy’s attorney requested a gag order over allegations that “agents have been leaking grand jury information and making other prejudicial statements.” Not only that, but federal prosecutors also hinted at future charges being added to the original indictment, since their investigation is still ongoing. Amid all this, we still don’t know the verdict on Puffy’s third bail attempt.

Judge’s Trial Start Date Offer For Diddy

Judge: May 5, the trial will start. Or I’ll give you April if you want.
Agnifilo: We’ll take May 5 – there is a lot of discovery.
Judge: How long will the government’s case be?
AUSA Emily Johnson: Three weeks, but…

— Inner City Press (@innercitypress) October 10, 2024

This follows Diddy’s team’s recent accusations that federal authorities leaked the footage of him assaulting Cassie in a hotel room. They also called for an alleged misconduct investigation into the federal case, but it’s still unclear whether or not they hindered his chance at a fair trial. At press time, federal authorities have not issued a public statement on the matter, although we can presume they likely discussed this during today’s (Thursday, October 10) hearing. This joins other allegations around the case, including more lawsuits of alleged misconduct against the Bad Boy mogul.

Meanwhile, Diddy’s ex bodyguard Gene Deal recently claimed that Biggie Smalls’ mother Voletta Wallace cosigned his allegations after a supposed conversation that they had. Plenty of other celebrities and accusers have drawn alleged connections between Combs and other famous figures, and pretty much all of them are just allegations. Fortunately, it seems like the court of law is moving forward with his trial and will be able to reach solid conclusions in due time. As allegations continue, it seems like only this trial could separate fact from fiction.
