Arsenio Hall Recalls Donald Trump Standing Up To Aubrey O’Day With A “Full Throated” Endorsement Of Diddy

October 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Arsenio Hall alleges Donald Trump once came to Diddy’s defense while speaking with Aubrey O’Day behind the scenes of his reality show, Celebrity Apprentice. O’Day famously accused the Bad Boy mogul of abusive behavior from her time with Danity Kane. Hall recalled the conversation during an interview on the Howie Mandel Does Stuff podcast.

The topic began with Hall discussing Diddy’s infamous parties, explaining that they weren’t all inappropriate. He even revealed that children would sometimes be in attendance. “For instance, you use a person’s home and their family is in the home, so it’s fun, legitimate, 8:00 PM? Lots of food and music,” he said, before adding, “I’ve also seen the ones that last longer than eight or nine.”

From there, he brought up the alleged conversation with Trump and O’Day. “She says some negative things about Diddy, and I’m listening. Trump chimes in and defends Diddy and that surprised me because usually Trump don’t defend nobody but himself,” Hall alleged. “For him to speak up and say, ‘Well, I like him, he’s a good guy. I’ve never had a problem.’ He gives him a full-throated vote of character.” He concluded: “I had no idea one day this was going to play out in real-time. But Trump liked Diddy.”

He’s already pleaded not guilty. Be on the lookout for further updates on Arsenio Hall and Donald Trump on HotNewHipHop.

Nicki Minaj Sends The Barbz Mixed Signals About Her Supposed Hiatus

October 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Nicki Minaj plays with the Barbz sometimes. Whether it’s her usual social media clap-backs to misinterpreted media conversations, teases of new music or other endeavors, or her reflections on being a superstar, sometimes she outlines a lot of paths before making a final decision. In a few of those cases, this can end up scaring the fanbase, although not for long. For example, the Trinidadian femcee recently held a Stationhead session on Sunday (October 13) in which she spoke on the success of the Pink Friday 2 world tour. Then, she sent her die-hards into fight-or-flight mode by suggesting that she may hang up the mic.

“I am doing a hiatus,” Nicki Minaj expressed on the platform. “But I have the Vogue thing, which I’m very proud and honored to do, and a couple things and then I’ll be taking a little moment to reflect.” Of course, this isn’t the first time that she’s teased a break, whether that’s a permanent step away from music or just a much-needed break from her general industry and career moves. Reportedly, Nicki hinted before that this hiatus could happen after the Pink Friday 2 world tour wrapped up, a reality we now live in.

Nicki Minaj Teases Hiatus During Stationhead Session

However, it turns out that Nicki Minaj was once again feeling the temperature and speaking on possibilities, because she quickly dispelled any hiatus speculation via Twitter. “Ain’t going no mthfkn where,” she responded to a post about her supposed break. “Kiss my a** & HIATUS LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.” “We don’t announce the hiatus Barbz. Crack is whack. We don’t do that,” the 41-year-old followed up in another post. As such, it seems like the Barbz don’t have to worry about her stepping away too much, which is a relief to hear.

Nicki’s Not Going Anywhere

Elsewhere during the weekend, Nicki Minaj thanked everyone who helped her along the way on her PF2 tour in various social media posts. “Barbz. Wow. We did it,” she wrote in one of these posts via Twitter. “Emotional (to say the least). I love you ALL so much. Every single person who came out- from our very 1st show— every country— my incredible team.”

Adam22 & Rooga’s Heated On-Air Exchange Leads To Calamity In The No Jumper Studio

October 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Adam22 and his No Jumper platform has proven to be quite controversial over the last couple of years or so. Overall, some feel as though the podcast and its interviews have strayed away from its glory days. In the past, Adam was known for interviewing up-and-coming underground rappers. Some even credit him with breaking the likes of XXXTentacion, Lil Pump, and Smokepurpp. However, in recent years, Adam switched things up, especially as it pertains to the emphasis on adult film stars.

Having said that, he still interviews artists. When he does, fans are always eager to tune in. Recently, Adam had on Chicago rapper Rooga, who infamously showed up to Kanye West’s third Donda listening party back in 2021. Rooga is someone who takes himself seriously, and during a heated exchange, he called out Adam for disrespecting him. Rooga then said that if he were to slap Adam, the No Jumper host would probably sue him. Adam then said he was richer than Rooga which would make a lawsuit an exercise in futility.

Adam22 & Rooga Get Into It

Subsequently, Adam has Rooga kicked out of the No Jumper studio. On multiple occasions, the security guard tried to drag Rooga out. But every single time he put his hands on the artist, Rooga warned the security to give it a rest. It led to a bit of a scuffle in the studio, but Rooga eventually exited in an orderly fashion. As for Adam, it was just another day on the job.

Let us know what you think about all of this, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that Adam22 and No Jumper have fallen off in recent years? Do you believe that Rooga was being disrespectful during this spat? Let us know in the poll down below and stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

North West Digs Into Kim Kardashian’s Parenting By Revealing Her Biggest Flaw

October 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Whenever we get insights into the daily lives of massive celebrities, even the smallest and most insignificant details can make us regular folk relate to them just a little bit more. That’s exactly what we got for Interview magazine’s 55th anniversary edition, for which Kim Kardashian and her daughter North West sat down for an interview. Kim was the one mostly interviewing North, and this led to reflect on their family dynamic and their relationship to the media in some pretty curious ways. But one of the funniest parts of the whole thing was when the SKIMS mogul asked the 11-year-old “TALKING” singer the following: “How’s my cooking?” And she fell right into the trap…

“You haven’t cooked for us in a long time. Last time you cooked was two Halloweens ago!” North West hilariously responded to Kim Kardashian. However, that wasn’t all that we learned about the Kardashian household. North also explained how she uses an alias when she’s with friends so that they don’t attract unwanted attention from snoopy passerby. “My friends call me that so people don’t know who I am,” she expressed.

“I like taking pictures of myself, but I don’t like when paparazzi do,” North West answered when Kim Kardashian asked about her experiences with being on camera. “When I just woke up and there’s so much paparazzi, I’m like, ‘Yo, I’m going to sue you.’ If I’m ready, if I’m not tired, if my outfit’s good, I’m like, ‘Okay, I could take a picture.’” Out of all of Kanye West and Kim’s children, North is the one who receives the most media attention. She featured on a couple of Ye songs, she’s their first child, and her social media presence developed quickly.

Meanwhile, despite everything going on in their individual lives, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian still prioritize family in their coparenting journey. It hasn’t been easy, and you probably already know the saga of how ugly things turned out. Still, it at least seems like the kids have a positive bond with both. Hopefully we get to see more of North West and her siblings hilariously comment on their parents and grapple with the complicated nature of their celebrity lives and family dynamics.

Druski Stirs Up Dating Rumors With King Combs’ Ex After Being Seen In Nigeria Together

October 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Druski has been subject to some jokes and ridicule over the last six months for his relationship with Rubi Rose. The two internet figures had a lot of people skeptical as well, as some were truly puzzled as to why the model and rapper was even with him in the first place. After just two months, they would split, but it things wouldn’t go quietly. In July, Druski said in an interview that, “I learned a lot from it, so I think I’m coming out of that [relationship] – you better have them pockets ready.” She would ultimately be silent on those comments until mid-September. Rose claims that, “I never slept with that man, n**** paid for PR. Not the p**sy… He is funny and nice tho!”

That seemed to confirm a lot of people’s suspicions that it was never a real relationship. However, Druski did appear to subtly shut down her claim with a sly “love don’t cost a thing” post to his IG Story. The dust has slowly been settling on their connection, but it seems that he’s supposedly getting himself back out there already. According to Live Bitez and BallerAlert, there is some footage making the rounds online of Druski being spotted in Nigeria with Breah Hicks. That name might not mean much to a lot of people, but for those who have been keeping a pulse on Diddy, they may be familiar. She is the ex of the embattled mogul’s son, King Combs.

Fans Have Several Reactions To Druski’s Relationship Rumors

A post shared by Watch Live Bitez (@livebitez)

He’s been in a relationship with Raven Tracy for quite a bit now, so it’s no harm no foul, right? Well, some social media users think so, but not for it being someone affiliated with the Bad Boy Records founder. Instead, folks are rehashing similar claims regarding his past “PR” fling with Rubi. “I think Druski be paying for company!” “Do he pay monthly or weekly.” “Another pr relationship. ” Nothing is confirmed yet, but as you can see in the handful of stitched clips, him and Hicks seem to be getting comfortable with one another.

What are your thoughts on Druski appearing to be in a relationship with King Combs’ ex? Do you think this will turn out to be another Rubi Rose situation? Is the comedian getting himself into some future issues due to her having slight ties to Diddy? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Druski. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the pop culture world.

DaBaby Toys With DaniLeigh’s Brother Amid $4 Million Lawsuit

October 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DaBaby says he isn’t worried about the lawsuit DaniLeigh’s brother, Brandon Bills, has brought against him over a 2022 altercation at a bowling alley. Discussing the $4 million lawsuit with Bootleg Kev for a recent interview, DaBaby labeled it “the easiest case I’ve ever had to beat.” He alleged that he was acting in self-defense in the viral video showing him fighting with Bills during the incident.

“Threatening me on camera with all the platforms out there—doesn’t make sense,” he said. “You’re gonna have to pay those lawyer fees, my boy. They ain’t making me pay. That’s gonna be the easiest case I’ve ever had to beat.”

Bills alleged that Baby’s actions left him with “severe injuries, psychological harm, and hefty medical bills” and wants $2 million in general damages and another $2 million in special damages. At the time of his initial filing, DaBaby’s attorney, Drew Findling, shut down the legitimacy of the lawsuit. “It’s offensive that this individual, who instigated the confrontation, is now trying to make a quick money grab,” Findling said at the time. “Garbage like this doesn’t belong in the legal system—it’s a waste of time and resources.”

DaBaby Discusses The Lawsuit With Bootleg Kev

Additionally, Baby targeted Bills on his recent diss song, “LAWSUIT ON A WEDNESDAY.” He rapped: “He was gangsta before, now you suin’ me, huh?/ That tough sh*t, he don’t wanna do it no more/ Out the spot, ain’t want nothing to do with the whore/ Before I walk out the house, tuck my toolie before.” Check out his latest comments on the legal drama below.

Cristina Mackey Claims She Briefly Dated Rick Ross Because God Told Her To

October 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Cristina Mackey and Rick Ross had a short-lived relationship, but nonetheless a passionate one that had a lot of ups, downs, twists, and turns. A lot of that came from disputes with other exes, a narrative that continued even after the two broke up around March of this year. However, at the end of the day, a lot of fans weren’t super clear on why they started to go out, but we now have a somewhat odd explanation. During a recent Instagram Live session, Mackey revealed that she started dating Rozay because God told her to, and explained why their brief fling was, in her view, the result of divine intervention.

““I just feel like God was like, ‘I need you to date this person real quick so I can get you where you need to go,’” Cristina Mackey said of Rick Ross, implying that her alleged experience with God framed this romance as a stepping stone to bring her closer to Miami. […] ‘What made you stay in Miami?’ Have you been to Miami? This place is incredible to me. You need to be in this city. My mom said the same thing too. She was like, ‘God brought you here for me. Be closer to me.’ […] [God] did not bring you here and be in a relationship with that man. But if that was the passage or what do you call it? The route that God chose.”

Regardless of whether this divine intervention is true, Cristina Mackey and Rick Ross had broken up by the time the Kendrick Lamar and Drake battle ignited along with all the other associated names. As such, it wasn’t too surprising to see Mackey seemingly support the 6ix God against Ross, but they seem to still have somewhat of an amicable connection.

At least, more amicable than most exes, especially in Rick Ross’ life. Tia Kemp recently accused him of sleeping with Gucci Mane’s wife, Keyshia Ka’oir, the latest claim she threw at the Maybach Music Group mogul. It just goes to show that, even though God may have a plan, that alleged involvement doesn’t make situations any less potentially combative.

WATCH: Ray J Calls Out Jaguar Wright for Fabricating Stories Involving Him, JAY-Z, and Beyoncé

October 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Ray J has had enough. Hitting his The Reality Check show, Ray J blasted Jaguar Wright after she made claims about him.

In case you missed it, Wright made claims about Whitney Houston’s relationship with Ray J, leading him to address her online. “When you are creating these stories and pushing narratives with no real basis, it’s clear that you’re doing some kind of attention-chasing or you’re doing this shit for clout. Or just for negative destruction, right?”

He continued, “Our culture needs more truth and integrity, not chaos and confusion. People were listening. You got our attention. Is what you’re saying true? Because this shit is outrageous. But I came to the conclusion that once I seen a story about me, and what you had to say about me and situations in my past, that is where I started to understand that you are totally fabricating stories and you are a complete liar. So that means that I have no respect for you and nothing you’re saying. So now I’ma go further. How dare you disrespect Jay-Z and Beyoncé? Jay-Z is an OG. Don’t ever disrespect Beyoncé.”

You can hear it all from Ray J below.

On “GOD DID” JAY-Z rapped:

I got lawyers like shooters
Workin’ pro bono for him as a favor ’cause I throw them Ms

And Piers Morgan just found that out the hard way. Jaguar Wright was brought on to Piers Morgan Uncensored, where she spread rumors about the alleged crimes of Hov and Beyoncé. Morgan received a note from The Carters’ lawyers. Morgan said:

“Jaguar, unexpectedly, made several serious allegations about Jay-Z and Beyoncé during that interview. As I said in the moment, they were not present to respond or defend themselves, but now they have. Their lawyers contacted us to say that those claims were ‘totally false’ and have no basis in fact, and we’ve therefore complied with a legal request to cut them from the original interview.
“Editing interviews is not something we do lightly at a show called Uncensored but like the proverbial cries of fire in a crowded theater, there are legal limits on us, too. And we apologize to Jay-Z and Beyoncé.
“The thing about platforms, the reality of the modern world is that pretty much everyone has a platform as long as they have something to say that other people want to hear. That’s why we invited [Wright] on to be interviewed. The people making these claims have an audience with or without shows like mine.”

And that portion of Jaguar Wright’s interview has been deleted.

You can see Morgan’s statement below.

Beyoncé & Jay Z’s lawyers got Pierce Morgan to issue an apology and retraction on his “Uncensored” show after he allowed a deranged woman come on and spew falsehoods about them.

South African Women’s Advocacy Group Launches Petition to Block Chris Brown’s Concert

October 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Chris Brown is set to perform in South Africa and has already sold over 94,000 tickets, to be exact. But everyone is not thrilled the R&B star is coming.

According to BBC, Women for Change, an advocacy group in the country, has created a petition to stop the performance and has already collected over 20,000 signatures. “When I saw the news that Chris Brown was coming to South Africa, I was shocked and deeply disappointed,” executive director Sabina Walter stated.

“The petition was started to send a strong message that we will not tolerate the celebration of individuals with a history of violence against women. When someone like Chris Brown is given a platform in a country where GBV is at crisis levels, it sends a damaging message – that fame and power outweigh accountability.”

– Sabrina Walter

BBC also notes South Africa has one of the highest rates of femicide and gender-based violence, with a rape recorded every 12 minutes in the country. Additional cases go unreported. “When someone like Chris Brown is given a platform in a country where GBV is at crisis levels, it sends a damaging message – that fame and power outweigh accountability,” said Ms Walters.

October 14, 2024 by newhiphopnews

In a thrilling repeat of Game 1, the New York Liberty and Minnesota Lynx faced off in Game 2 of the 2024 WNBA Finals. New York surged to an early double-digit lead, extending it to nearly 20 points in the first half. However, Minnesota mounted a fierce comeback, narrowing the gap to just five points multiple times.

The final moments of the game marked a pivotal shift from Game 1. With 3:23 remaining and New York leading by only two, the Liberty ignited a 12-0 run, ultimately sealing an 80-66 victory and tying the series at 1-1.

Breanna Stewart had a standout performance, notching 21 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, and a Finals record of 7 steals. “The moment the game ended Thursday night, I was looking forward to Sunday to change things, change the narrative a little bit,” Stewart remarked. Her impressive stats placed her in elite company, becoming one of only four players to achieve at least 20 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and 5 steals in a playoff game.

On the Lynx side, Napheesa Collier contributed significantly with 16 points and 8 rebounds, passing legends Chelsea Gray and A’ja Wilson for the fourth-most points scored in a single postseason.

With the series now shifting to Minnesota, Game 3 promises to be crucial. Historically, teams that win Game 3 in a tied series have a 71.4% chance of claiming the championship. The pivotal matchup is set for Wednesday at 8 PM ET on ESPN.
