Meek Mill Posts Then Deletes Rant Responding To Philly Rapper Poundside Pop

March 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this week, a rapper from Philadelphia names Poundside Pop sat down for a conversation with DJ Akademiks. In the interview he made some damning claims about Meek Mill, including that he allegedly banned the “Going Bad” rapper from his home city. That came after Meek reportedly tried to sign him to a $20k deal that included the rights to all of Pop’s publishing. Unsurprisingly, it didn’t take Meek long to feel like he had to come to his own defense.

In his response he blasted Poundside Pop as snitch. Specifically he brings up an alleged incident where Pop “told on” Lil Uzi Vert to Jay-Z. His response doesn’t include much about the specifics of the original claim, instead fans think Meek is mostly just rambling. That may have also been the case in a series of tweets he posted on the situation. “Poundside pop dad is boy backs son that snitched on the whole ram squad the biggest Philly rap group …. This is his son now coming after me that sh*t in they blood I will crush his son tho i move different,” a more pointed Meek tweet reads. Check out his now-deleted Instagram story posts below.

Recently, Meek Mill found himself in some hot water with fans of Kanye West. When he described the rapper as “off a lil,” his rabid fanbase didn’t take kindly to it despite him preceding the comment by calling West smart. Meek also shared his new EP Heathenism a few weeks ago. Despite his name recognition and previous hits though, the project didn’t perform well commercially. It sold just 6k in its first week which caused Meek haters to come from all over to attack him once again.

What do you think of Meek Mill’s response to allegations made by Poundside Pop? Do you think he makes good points or spends too much time talking about unrelated things? Let us know in the comment section below.

Kanye West, Mia Khalifa, & Tyga Pose For Y/Project F&W Collection, Leaving Some Fans Irate

March 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Outside of being a hip-hop music icon, Kanye West is also closely tied to the fashion world. Everyone who is in the know about sneakers and rap, is certainly familiar with his many renditions of the Yeezy. Now that he is totally separate from Nike and Adidas, he has been on his own selling avant-garde pieces and streetwear. All that is available on yeezy.com. Even though, Ye would have you believe Adidas is screwing him over, he is not totally absolved from receiving criticism. The legendary Georgia-born rapper’s antisemitic remarks left the iconic brand no choice but to drop him. It is the exact reason why some fans are so enraged that Kanye West and Y/Project are collaborating.

Our Generation Music also revealed that Tyga and former adult film actress Mia Khalifa, are all models for the Y/Project fashion company. Pop singer Charli XCX and model Irina Shayk are in the mix too, to promote their Fall and Winter collection. Kanye can be seen rocking another form of face protection. This time though it is a heavy, black puffer-like jacket.

What are your thoughts on Kanye West, Tyga, and Mia Khalifa being models for the Y/Project Fall and Winter collection?

Wendy Williams’ Ex-Husband Kevin Hunter Wants 2 Years Of Back Payments From Divorce Settlement

March 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Wendy Williams’ ex-husband, Kevin Hunter, says he hasn’t received payments from his divorce settlement since the talk show host was placed under court-order guardianship. In turn, he is requesting two years of back pay, according to court documents obtained by Radar Online.

“I have not received my severance payments since January of 2022, which Plaintiff is required to make pursuant to the Matrimonial Settlement Agreement,” he said. “This is an emergent matter because I rely on the severance pay for my living expenses and having been without this income for twenty-three months has affected me greatly.” He added: “Therefore, I respectfully request that the Court require [Wendy] to immediately pay all severance payments which may be due and owing at the time of this Court’s Order.”

Hunter also says he’s been trying to resolve the matter for years at this point. “Since October 2021 I have tried to resolve this issue in multiple ways including previous motion and mediation, with no cooperation from the Plaintiff,” he said. “As a result, I had no choice but to file this motion in this matter. I would not have had to file this motion if the Plaintiff did not stop my severance payments and if the Plaintiff would have signed the Qualified Domestic Relations Order for the SAG-AFTRA Retirement Plan.”

Will Beyoncé’s New Album ‘Cowboy Carter’ Be On Vinyl?

March 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

The title of Renaissance: Act II has finally been unveiled. It was quite clear which sonic direction Beyoncé was heading in, based on the album’s lead singles, “16 Carriages” and the chart-topping “Texas Hold ‘Em.” But just to validate the public’s speculation, today (March 12), Beyoncé broke the internet by formally announcing the forthcoming project’s name — Cowboy Carter.

With the name and release date now known, there are still a few questions remaining. Will she launch another tour solely for this project? That remains unclear, but what the public does know is that there are bound to be a bunch of goodies (including physical copies of the album) available soon. Continue below for further details.

Will Beyoncé’s New Album ‘Cowboy Carter’ Be On Vinyl?

So, will the Beyhive have a chance to snag a copy of the upcoming project for the record player? The simple answer is yes. Well, at least while supplies last.

Beyoncé’s album, Cowboy Carter, is sure to hit streaming platforms on March 29. However, in the past, the singer has been very selective about which platforms grant access to her discography. In fact, just last year, she finally cleared her 2013 song “Grown Woman” off her self-titled album to be available on streaming. So, to avoid those exclusionary decisions, fans opt to purchase the physical copy of Beyoncé’s albums.

Each vinyl retails for $34. According to the description of each item, these records are an exclusive one-time pressing only available through Beyoncé’s website. It is important to note that the vinyls will only be shipped to the US and Canada. Vinyls are slated to ship starting on March 29, the album’s confirmed release date. Find more information here.

March 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Beyoncé is officially welcoming fans to the Cowboy Carter era. The star made the announcement simply by changing her website’s homepage today, which features a saddle and a sash that bears the album title’s name. Considering it had been previously dubbed “Act II” as a follow-up to Renaissance, there’s certainly a lot of excitement now that she’s confirmed the clear country inspiration.

Along with the official announcement of the album title, Beyoncé added some new merch so fans can get prepared.

Here’s what to know about how to pick up a new item (or many!) from Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter collection.

How To Buy Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Merch

Beyoncé’s new merch for Cowboy Carter is currently available for purchase simply by accessing the “Shop” section at the top of her website. Once there, she offers a few different options. There are two box sets at the moment. One is a white t-shirt with an image of her posing in a cowboy hat, and on the back, it has “Cowboy Carter” in a vintage Marlboro-style font. This also has “Radio, Texas” and “100,000 Watts Of Healing Power” in a smaller type on the bottom of the shirt’s back.

The second shirt set option is a white and red ringer tee. This time, it has “Cowboy Carter” on the front in red, with a cutout image of Beyoncé posing with two finger pistols. The back of this one says, “Act II Cowboy Carter.” Both box sets are $40 and include a CD copy of the album with the respective shirt.

Other merch available in her store includes three limited vinyl copies in red, white, and blue for $40 each and two CD options for $12 each.

Fans have brought up her relationship to Nicki Minaj numerous times on social media since then. When one user asked about the lack of support from her big sister, Luanli fired back: “Did I ask for it?” She’s also remarked that she will “no longer be known as Nicki Minaj’s little sister.”
