Police Arrest Man With Guns And A High Capacity Magazine Outside Donald Trump Rally In California

October 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Authorities in Coachella Valley, California seemingly thwarted another assassination attempt on Donald Trump after arresting a man allegedly found to be carrying multiple guns and a high-capacity magazine outside of his rally over the weekend. They charged him with possession of a loaded firearm and possession of a high-capacity magazine.

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco discussed the arrest at a press conference on Sunday. “The way it worked yesterday is only people that were allowed inside the perimeter, the outside perimeter, inside a vehicle was if you lived there or if you had documentation that said you were going to this rally,” Bianco said, as noted by CBS. He further explained that Miller “gave all indications that he belonged there,” but authorities noticed his car was in disarray. They searched his vehicle and found him to be “illegally in possession of a shotgun, a loaded handgun, and a high-capacity magazine.”

He further described Miller as a “lunatic” and an alleged member of Sovereign Citizens. “They are certainly considered a far-right group,” Bianco said of the organization. “I wouldn’t say it’s a militant group. It’s just a group that doesn’t believe in government and government control.” He added that he believes Miller intended to commit an assassination attempt on the former president.

As for whether he will face federal charges, the United States Attorney’s Office said in a statement caught by CBS: “The U.S. Secret Service assesses that the incident did not impact protective operations and former President Trump was not in any danger. While no federal arrest has been made at this time, the investigation is ongoing.” Be on the lookout for further updates on Donald Trump and the 2024 Presidential Election on HotNewHipHop.

Chris Brown Faces Backlash In South Africa Over Upcoming Concert

October 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Chris Brown is facing backlash in South Africa for his performance at the country’s FNB Stadium in Johannesburg. Women for Change, which advocates for the rights of women and children, has started a petition to stop the show. Sabina Walter, executive director of the group, spoke with BBC about the decision.

“When I saw the news that Chris Brown was coming to South Africa, I was shocked and deeply disappointed,” Walter said. “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.”

Chris Brown Performs In Los Angeles

The petition has already generated over 20,000 signatures. The Change.org page cites Brown’s 2009 conviction for assaulting Rihanna during their infamous relationship. It also notes that South Africa is in the midst of a crisis of gender-based violence. “Allowing a man with such a history of violence to perform in South Africa, a country grappling with one of the highest rates of gender-based violence and femicide (GBVF) in the world, sends a harmful and dangerous message,” the page reads.

The backlash to Brown’s concert in South Africa comes as Investigation Discovery prepares for the premiere of its new documentary, Chris Brown: A History of Violence. It will air on the network later this month. The show will detail various allegations the controversial singer has faced throughout his career. It will also feature an interview with a new accuser. She says in the trailer, “I have not spoken about this matter publicly, but that’s the only way he can be stopped.” Be on the lookout for the documentary on October 27th.

Tyla Expands Her Vision On Our New “R&B Season” Playlist Update: Stream

October 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

If you’re looking for new jams to add to your rotation, we’ve got you covered with our latest R&B Season playlist update to round up the best of the best new releases this week, whether it’s within or adjacent to the genre. Leading the way is the expanded version of Tyla’s self-titled debut album, which contains a couple of new cuts at the top of the tracklist. Most notably, “PUSH 2 START” fuses all the styles that she’s been a star for as of late: Afrobeat, amapiano, R&B, and pop. In addition, the catchy flows and vocal harmonies give this record a larger than life feel while still being intimate.

Speaking of expanded deluxe editions on R&B Season, Jorja Smith has offered just that by adding some new remixes and re-imaginations of her falling or flying LP. What’s more is that they also vary when it comes to genre, with some alternate versions here indulging in jungle, garage, or even reggae. As for the “Lately” remix with Craig David, the straightforward R&B cut doesn’t deviate much from the original. But David does add some engaging vocal chemistry to one of the smoothest tracks on the original full-length.

HNHH R&B Season Playlist: Stream

Also, we wanted to shout out Isaiah Falls’ new two-pack LUCKY ME, which contains the solo cut “HAVE MY BABIES?” and “BUTTERFLIES” with Joyce Wrice. The latter is a very sultry and soft-spoken collaboration that drenches its bass and synth pads in reverb and adds some other embellishments like chimes, faint strings, and fuzzy wah guitar. It’s one of the more traditional R&B songs you’ll find this week, but a nevertheless relaxing one. After all, sometimes this vibe just hits the spot like no other.

Finally, we’d be remiss not to mention Mabel’s upbeat team-up with Ty Dolla $ign, “Stupid Dumb.” It creates a lot of tension before finally falling into a clubby rhythm, and its minimal approach highlights each vocal performance quite well. Let us know what your favorite R&B Season pick was this week, as well as what else we missed, down in the comments section below. Check the playlist out above and, as always, stick around for the latest amazing musical releases around the clock.
